Speaker 1: What is going on? My people? How are we doing?

33
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 1: On this beautiful Thursday? Cowboys headed to New York to

34
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,359
Speaker 1: take on the g Men Giants, a big underdog as

35
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,799
Speaker 1: of recording this six points. Even though Daniel Jones last

36
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: couple weeks four touchdowns, no interceptions, Cowboys couldn't stop me

37
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,639
Speaker 1: and you from gaining five yards. But big spot, we

38
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 1: will dive into the game where I'm leaning. I mean, obviously,

39
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 1: given the hype of the franchise, I mean the pressures

40
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: on the Cowboys to win this game. If they lose,

41
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:31,839
Speaker 1: you think there's a lot of cowboy talk normally wait

42
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: for Friday morning. So we'll dive into that game. Some

43
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 1: thoughts on Kyle Shanahan and the forty nine ers. We

44
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: skipped this last week, but I want to try to

45
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 1: be consistent with this. My outhouse and my penhouse, so

46
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 1: my favorite team, it's basically how I'm going to do

47
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 1: my best teams in the league and obviously the worst

48
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 1: teams in the league. And it'll vary by how many teams,

49
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: you know, get into the penhouse and get thrown in

50
00:02:55,480 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 1: the outhouse. And one of the biggest stories you could

51
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,959
Speaker 1: argue the biggest story of the day definitely college football,

52
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: is UNLV's quarterback quitting. There's some discrepancies of the story.

53
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,639
Speaker 1: He claimed he wasn't paid, they pay, They claim he

54
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 1: wanted more money after they had won some games and

55
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 1: he just sent him out and he quit and he

56
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: said he's gonna red shirt, and so I want to

57
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: dive into that story. Which is not a bad moment

58
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: for my friend State Bulldogs who play UNLV, which is

59
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 1: a massive game. So my guy Tim Skipper now no excuses,

60
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: got to go in there and win. But we will

61
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: dive into the Matt Sluka quitting over some nil money.

62
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,119
Speaker 1: Interested to watch how this one plays out. Like as

63
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: of recording this, I only have, you know, one side

64
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: saying one thing, the other side saying but I just

65
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: have an overall thought and just yeah, we'll dive into

66
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: the topic. Then of course Middlecoff mailbag at John Middlecoff

67
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: firing those dms. If you listen on Collins Feeds, subscribe

68
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: to three and out. We got a YouTube channel. I

69
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: shot another golf video. My guy Luis is putting golf

70
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: tracers on that as we speak. He sent me over

71
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: some stuff. So we're gonna try to play golf with

72
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,720
Speaker 1: you know, just some famous people coming up here in

73
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: the near future. Put post that on the old YouTube,

74
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 1: you know, former athletes, you know, whoever will agree. We

75
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: just it's gonna start with somebody got a couple ideas,

76
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 1: so keep an eye for that. But before we dive in,

77
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 1: you know, I got to tell you about can you

78
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 1: imagine living in the South, living in the Alabama region

79
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:37,720
Speaker 1: or Georgia and going I want to go to Alabama, Georgia.

80
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:42,600
Speaker 1: Kaylin du boor Kirby Smart their first matchup. Obviously, historically

81
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: Nick Saban had owned Kirby beside one of the biggest

82
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,159
Speaker 1: probably the biggest game they ever played, the National Championship,

83
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 1: where Kirby got the best of them. Listen to Bill

84
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: O'Brien on with with Edelman in his podcast, And obviously

85
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 1: they had some injuries in that game. But still, if

86
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: you want to go to any game college pro I

87
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: see baseball teams are partying, the Phillies are in, the

88
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: Padres are in. The Yankee should win the division here soon.

89
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 1: And if you want to go to a playoff baseball game,

90
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: a concert, a comedy show, I got you covered. So

99
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: on Thursday Night games. The longer we go into the

100
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: season is if you give me a home team and

101
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 1: you're giving them a lot of points, like I'm just

102
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 1: gonna bet on them. And sometimes you know, late in

103
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 1: the season you get some of these like multiple time

104
00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:00,479
Speaker 1: zone differences short week in November. It's like that is

105
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: a huge disadvantage for the road team. Now, my initial

106
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 1: reaction looked today, pulled up the DraftKings app. We had

107
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 1: the Giants plus six at home. Obviously, divisional games just

108
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 1: in general, can be weird and tightly contested, but you're

109
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: giving me six points at home. The Giants have definitely

110
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 1: played better the last two weeks. I mean last week

111
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 1: in Cleveland, Daniel Jones was really good and the league

112
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,719
Speaker 1: neighbors is establishing himself as a star, and the Cowboys

113
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 1: have some issues. Now I also like to look at, well,

114
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: who what was the travel like the week before Cowboys

115
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: were at home, so they haven't had to get on

116
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,599
Speaker 1: a plane until today when they're flying to New York,

117
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 1: and the Giants were on the road, so they don't

118
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 1: have the comforts of they haven't had to leave and

119
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 1: they're just sitting there at home. They didn't have to

120
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: travel to Cleveland. I've never made that flight New York

121
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,479
Speaker 1: to Cleveland, but I don't think it's twenty minutes, so

122
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: they had to travel. Now they're coming off a big win,

123
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: they're feeling good. My initial reaction, like I said, Giants

124
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 1: plus six if that thing goes I looked early in

125
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 1: the week, is like four and a half. These people

126
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: know something I don't know. Now. The Cowboys are a

127
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: very public team. This is must win situation for them,

128
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: in the sense of we went over their schedule yesterday.

129
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 1: It's absolutely brutal coming up they get after this week,

130
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 1: the Steelers, the Lions, at the Niners, at the Falcons Philly, Houston.

131
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: I mean they are playing really good teams. If they

132
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: fall to one in three with a coach that does

133
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: not have a contract for next season, let's face it,

134
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: this team gets talked about no matter what, this thing

135
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 1: could get weird, and this thing could get weird fast. Now.

136
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: The one thing with the Cowboys, as we saw last

137
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 1: week and two weeks ago with the Saints as well,

138
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: is you can run the ball down their throat. Now,

139
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara through the first three weeks of the season

140
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 1: looks like a rejuvenated guy in his prime. Looks fantastic. Obviously,

141
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 1: when you play Lamar and Derrick Henry. I mean, both

142
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 1: those two guys are gonna be Hall of Famers, So

143
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 1: that's a tough matchup. The Giants aren't exactly rolling out

144
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 1: Tiki Barberaquon Barkley here. Singletary, in my opinion, is like

145
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 1: run the mill starting running back in the NFL A

146
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 1: couple weeks ago. I think you ran for ninety five

147
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 1: yards against Washington, But what does that really mean? The

148
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals were doing whatever they wanted whenever they wanted

149
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: in terms of the running game against Washington, not a

150
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: very good defense. Last week against Cleveland, better defense, didn't

151
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: crack seventy yards on the season. He's averaging like four

152
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 1: point seven a season. So can the Giants really just

153
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: destroy the Cowboys on the ground like what happened the

154
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 1: last two weeks? Probably not. I mean, are they gonna

155
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 1: run for two hundred yards? I don't think so. Can

156
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 1: they run for one hundred though, and slow down the game?

157
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 1: I do believe that because I think the hard part.

158
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: You know, when you struggle to cover people, your defensive

159
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: coordinator can make extreme tweaks with your coverages. Right if

160
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 1: you're a man team and your corners are struggling, you

161
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: can switch the zone, you can cheat safeties, you can

162
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:04,079
Speaker 1: add dbs and take linebackers off the field. Like, there

163
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 1: are things you can do in run defense. If your

164
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 1: defensive tackles can't hold up the line of scrimmage, if

165
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 1: your edge guys aren't great point of attack players in

166
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 1: terms of the run game, and your linebacker play is

167
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:22,839
Speaker 1: pretty iffy, like, you're gonna struggle. I don't care if

168
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 1: Dick Lebou or Jim Johnson is coaching the defense. It's

169
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:29,479
Speaker 1: hard to stop the run now. Luckily for the Cowboys,

170
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 1: they're not playing some potent rushing team. So the Cowboys,

171
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:35,719
Speaker 1: I think it is fair to say they should win

172
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,679
Speaker 1: this game. But if they are to lose and you're

173
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: one to three, well the Giant should be two and two.

174
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:43,959
Speaker 1: Eagles have a bunch of injuries, but they've already won

175
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: two games and Washington won as well, So it's like

176
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: you would be in last place heading into October, which

177
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 1: is not the end of the world. But we just

178
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 1: rattled off the schedule. Are the Cowboys, you know, beating

179
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,319
Speaker 1: all those teams that I just listed. Probably not. It's

180
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,440
Speaker 1: why it's very difficult to put yourself behind the eight ball.

181
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 1: When you have a first play schedule, it's hard and

182
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: it's gonna be very, very interesting on the road. I

183
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,080
Speaker 1: think the key of Dallas gonna win this game. They

184
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: gotta start fast because the longer this thing is just ugly.

185
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 1: Ten ten and a half. And the Giants got life,

186
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: like Malik Neighbors has proven. Man if Malik Neighbors was

187
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: a running back like the talent that we've seen, instead

188
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,959
Speaker 1: of a wide receiver, he was a running back. I

189
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 1: picked the Giants to win this game. Hell, I might

190
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,079
Speaker 1: even if I'm day ball. Put him in some situations

191
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 1: in the backfield, hell running between the tackles. Can you

192
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:38,599
Speaker 1: stop this? Now? It's pretty risky. You don't want to

193
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 1: get him injured. But this is a pretty good Thursday

194
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 1: night game. I'm not gonna lie. Pretty intriguing storylines that

195
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: three weeks ago I might not have been as excited for.

196
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: But let's face, a lot of people are throwing this

197
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: out there statistically, like what the hell's the difference of

198
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,680
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones and Trevor Lawrence And everyone acts like Daniel

199
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: Jones the worst quarterback we've ever seen, and Trevor Lawrence

200
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 1: is you know two hundred million dollar player. Now the

201
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:05,680
Speaker 1: difference the last couple of weeks, like Dan Jones doesn't

202
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,079
Speaker 1: turned the ball over if Daniel Jones is not throwing

203
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 1: pick sixes and throwing a couple of touchdowns a game,

204
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 1: and they just keep the game semi low scoring. I mean,

205
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 1: the Giants want no part of games that you have

206
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 1: to score twenty eight to thirty points. If they can

207
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: keep that bad boy in the teams, if they can

208
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 1: keep that bad boy in the low twenties, like they're

209
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 1: gonna have a chance. And if that's the score of

210
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 1: the game, like I love the Giants plus six. Uh,

211
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 1: you know the forty nine ers, what a weird Obviously,

212
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 1: I was thinking about it today. I went for a swim.

213
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 1: I've been trying to swim a couple days a week,

214
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 1: good little workout. Get really hungry after, feel like you

215
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 1: burn a lot of calories. And you know a lot

216
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 1: of times when you work out and you listen to

217
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 1: a podcast or music, even if you're thinking you got

218
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 1: stuff in your ear. The one great part about swimming,

219
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 1: just you and your thoughts, and I'll just crossed my mind. Like,

220
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:59,439
Speaker 1: let's just say, Christian McCaffrey never plays another snap, which

221
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 1: I don't think is going to be the case. But

222
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 1: at the rate this is going, it's pretty weird. Not

223
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 1: very often players in the NFL had to Germany in

224
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 1: the middle of a season. But if they would have

225
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,679
Speaker 1: won that Super Bowl against Kansas City this year, wouldn't

226
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 1: be that big a deal. Okay, start fast, some injuries, whatever,

227
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 1: it's all gravy. But you lose that Super Bowl, announced like,

228
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 1: can they get back? This is their window. Now's the time.

229
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 1: They got eight guys making over fifteen million dollars and

230
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 1: they started looking around, like, well, let's count the eight guys.

231
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 1: Hard Grain is one of those guys out for the season.

232
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey one of those guys nowhere to be found.

233
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel's one of those guys already injured, gonna miss

234
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 1: another game. George Kittle was limited in practice today. I

235
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 1: think his status for this week, it's definitely up in

236
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 1: the air. Brandon Ayut they gave thirty million dollars a year,

237
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 1: seventy five million dollars guaranteed. My entire argument the entire

238
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 1: time is like, is this player Obviously he's valuable to

239
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:00,200
Speaker 1: their team and has been valuable the last couple of year.

240
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 1: But he's he worth that number to them, and through

241
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 1: three weeks he's dropping balls. He's been bad. I mean,

242
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 1: he just hasn't been good. Obviously, he's not gonna play

243
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 1: that bad all season long. But I don't know if

244
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 1: they're ever gonna get the value given how much they

245
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 1: pay him in the way they want to play. But

246
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, this operation is really

247
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:24,199
Speaker 1: led by two people. Now one the star of this show.

248
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 1: Like when you think the Bills, you think Josh Allen. Right,

249
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 1: when you think the Indianapolis Colt, you've got Peyton Manning.

250
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 1: When you got the Green Bay Packers, you got Aaron Rodgers,

251
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,439
Speaker 1: Hell New York Jets, Aaron Rodgers. When you think the

252
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 1: forty nine Ers, you think Kyle Shanning. This is why

253
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 1: he makes fifteen sixteen million dollars a year. They got

254
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:46,199
Speaker 1: a bunch of injuries. Weird shit's going on, Like you

255
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,439
Speaker 1: got to rattle off a couple wins now and just

256
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:50,680
Speaker 1: kind of right the ship. And he's done it before

257
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 1: before last year. The previous two years they started really slow.

258
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 1: Now they're playing the Patriots. They're a ten point favorite

259
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:00,200
Speaker 1: at home. Obviously, if you win that game, you'll get

260
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 1: any credit, but like, you need to win the next

261
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 1: couple games. You get the Patriots at home, huge favorite.

262
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 1: Then you get the Cardinals at home. You're gonna probably

263
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 1: be a six or seven point favorite. You gotta win

264
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 1: those games. And the conversation around Perty like last week

265
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 1: had to be one of Perty's best games. He looked

266
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 1: like a borderline top five quarterback in the NFL. He

267
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 1: was awesome. I mean, darts inside, darts outside, scrambling around,

268
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 1: throws on the move. Just I get the opponent was

269
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 1: I wouldn't exactly call the eighty five Bears, but he

270
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 1: was brilliant. He was outstanding. Part of the reason that's

271
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 1: such a kick in the you know what, is because

272
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 1: you lose a game when you have the lead and

273
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 1: your quarterback is dominating. That's why the defense and the

274
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 1: special team's taken so much shit. But I'm sorry, Like,

275
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 1: this is the reason that we talk so highly about

276
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 1: this guy. He makes all this money. He's widely considered,

277
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 1: even if we're debating where he land, you know, on

278
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 1: the list of top coaches. Everyone has him somewhere between

279
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 1: two and five. And if you got one of those

280
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 1: guys and you have a good quarterback, like you rattle

281
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 1: off some wins against teams you're better than even when

282
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 1: you have a bunch of injuries. Now, do you have

283
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 1: to win the Super Bowl? Are you gonna be compromised

284
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 1: in a couple months? Yeah? Probably the way this is looking,

285
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 1: I mean, the McCaffrey thing I thought was kind of overblown,

286
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 1: and then the moment they put him on injured reserve,

287
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 1: and it's been feeling worse. And now he's in Germany,

288
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 1: like I've kind of come to grips with. I don't

289
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 1: if anything he does this season is gravy. I don't

290
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 1: really expect to see him now. I'm though medical doctor.

291
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 1: My take is, hey, if that Achille is gonna rip,

292
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 1: you might as well play and rip it as soon

293
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 1: as possible, because it doesn't feel like something that's avoidable.

294
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 1: But listen, that's on him. Maybe he's got some special

295
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 1: potion over there that'll strengthen the bad boy. But even okay,

296
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 1: so now you can't win the Super Bowl, but like

297
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 1: you still should make the playoff. You still should figure

298
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 1: it out, Like you still should have the culture and

299
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 1: the talent even separate from some of these guys, and

300
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 1: some of them are gonna come back to rattle off

301
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 1: a bunch of wins to win double digit games' why

302
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan makes all this money, so there is just

303
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 1: tangible pressure to me these next two weeks. If the

304
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 1: forty nine Ers don't win the next two games, then

305
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 1: I think we can officially say we got a major

306
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 1: problem and this team is screwed. But I do expect,

307
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 1: because I've seen it before. Kyle Shanahan, brock Purty demand

308
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 1: the Ship win the next two games, and then they

309
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 1: got Thursday Night on the road at Seattle, which is

310
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 1: just a shaping up as long as the Niners take

311
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 1: care of business to be a fantastic Thursday night game

312
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 1: in a difficult spot for the Niners, short week on

313
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 1: the road, loud place. But you obviously got to win

314
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 1: this week against the Patriots, and then you need to

315
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 1: win next week against the Arizona Cardinals. He let's do

316
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 1: a little outhouse penthouse. I did it two weeks ago.

317
00:16:55,800 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 1: I think I forgot after Week two, and this is

318
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 1: gonna change on a weekly basis now. I think it's

319
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 1: fair to say they're gonna be a consistent theme. The

320
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 1: Chiefs are in the outhouse all season long. Like they

321
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 1: bought a place that they leased it out for a year,

322
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 1: like they're not getting booted, that they've earned that right.

323
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 1: And they're three and zero. The games could have gone

324
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 1: either way. But that's what great teams do, and I

325
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 1: think a lot of people are jumping on this bandwagon.

326
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,640
Speaker 1: People forget because you just look, oh, six Super Bowls,

327
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 1: nine to ten AFC championship games. Their record spoke for itself.

328
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 1: They were in the playoffs every single year basically with

329
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,119
Speaker 1: the one or two seed. The Patriots played in a

330
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:41,399
Speaker 1: lot of weird games over the years. They just won

331
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 1: a lot of them. That's part of being a great

332
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 1: operation and a great team. So to me, the Chiefs

333
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 1: are just in the penhouse all season long. They could

334
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 1: lose a game, they could lose a couple games in

335
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 1: a row unless they miss the playoffs. Who is betting

336
00:17:56,240 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 1: against this team? The answer is nobody, the other team

337
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 1: that has just vaulted their way in. I mean, the

338
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,919
Speaker 1: Bills look incredible, they really do. And it kind of

339
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 1: went viral. Did Josh take a shot at Diggs? Whether

340
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 1: he did or did not, what he said is true.

341
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 1: We have a bunch of guys and no one cares

342
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,680
Speaker 1: about their stats and I can throw it to anyone

343
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 1: on any given play, any given game, and it's not

344
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 1: that big a deal. And listen, here's the thing about Digs,

345
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 1: and this is where I will defend him because I

346
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,400
Speaker 1: think a lot of people consider him somewhat of a diva.

347
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 1: He has been a winning diva. He gets to Minnesota,

348
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 1: they were winners, he gets traded to the Bills. There winners.

349
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:40,200
Speaker 1: He's now in the Texans. Guess what They're gonna be

350
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:44,160
Speaker 1: a playoff team. So yeah, is the high maintenance relative

351
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:49,119
Speaker 1: to some players, probably, But is the guy a winning player?

352
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 1: That's not debatable. But now, like they don't have quote

353
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 1: unquote a true number one, and they got a lot

354
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 1: of guys that look very ready to contribute, and obviously

355
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:02,359
Speaker 1: Cooks adds a huge element to their offense as a

356
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 1: running back, and Joe Brady is kind of feeling like

357
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 1: the lsu version again, and their offense looks sweet. At

358
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:10,679
Speaker 1: the end of the day, They're head coach is a

359
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 1: defensive guy. So yeah, I would say top to bottom,

360
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 1: their roster doesn't look like the two thousand Ravens on defense.

361
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:20,200
Speaker 1: But I have a pretty good trust in their operation

362
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:22,160
Speaker 1: that they're going to figure it out and be solid,

363
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 1: and if you're solid on defense with that good of

364
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:27,919
Speaker 1: an offense, you can win the Super Bowl. I do

365
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 1: think Minnesota won back to back wins. Now, granted they're

366
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 1: at home against the forty nine ers in the Texans

367
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 1: in which the fashion they did it is like, as

368
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:40,879
Speaker 1: of right now, your penthouse is right next to the

369
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: Chiefs and the Bills. That is extremely impressive. If they

370
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,160
Speaker 1: go on the road and beat the Packers this week,

371
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 1: whether Malik Willis plays or Jordan love Place, regardless who plays,

372
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:56,160
Speaker 1: what an incredible start for O'Connell, for Darnald, for Flores.

373
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,120
Speaker 1: I think we'd have to start taking this team seriously

374
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 1: as like a number one one overall seed contender because

375
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 1: we know how good they're gonna be at home, and

376
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 1: their coaching staff is excellent. We talked about it yesterday

377
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 1: with the Bears, like no one trust their coaching staff.

378
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 1: This is not these other sports where you can overcome

379
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 1: that with talent. In football, your coaches are so important

380
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 1: because so many games are gonna be within five to

381
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 1: six points in the fourth quarter. Can I out coach?

382
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 1: You can I outscheme, you can I call the right plays?

383
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,440
Speaker 1: Can I put my best players in the best positions

384
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 1: to have success. And I think it's pretty evident right

385
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 1: now that the Vikings can listen. I can't. You're three

386
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 1: and zero, and if I'm gonna put the Chiefs in there, now,

387
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 1: they've done a lot more this style and have it

388
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 1: worked than the Steelers. If the Steelers are playing the

389
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,440
Speaker 1: Bills or the Chiefs in a playoff game, I would

390
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:55,159
Speaker 1: not pick them, But like they're clearly comfortable playing in

391
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:58,719
Speaker 1: these really weird, ugly games. They have no problem doing it,

392
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 1: and they can play their way to twelve thirteen wins

393
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 1: as long as their defensive players stay healthy. And I

394
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 1: already saw high Smith as is injured. So if they

395
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 1: can keep the core of their defense on the field

396
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 1: like they got a chance to win twelve plus games.

397
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,159
Speaker 1: I'll be the first to admit that as someone that

398
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 1: bet against them this season. And as long as fields

399
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:23,880
Speaker 1: doesn't turn the ball over, makes a couple occasional explosive

400
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:27,640
Speaker 1: plays down the field of pickings with his legs, they're

401
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:31,160
Speaker 1: gonna be a problem. Now, do you trust that style

402
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 1: and that specific player in a playoff game, depending on

403
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:37,880
Speaker 1: who they're playing, you would bet against them more than

404
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:43,680
Speaker 1: likely but as of through three weeks, props to them.

405
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: That's why Tomlin is a badass. People think I'm a

406
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,119
Speaker 1: Tomlin hater. I just thought last year was like his

407
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 1: Andy Reid Chiefstein, like time for a divorce. And I'll

408
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 1: give them credit. They punted on all their quarterbacks and

409
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 1: they got fields in there. And whether Russell Wilson, it's hard.

410
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 1: I saw a headline today. It's like, if you're a

411
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, you don't want to look like you've just

412
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 1: gotten wally pipped and you're ready to go and they're

413
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 1: gonna keep rolling the field. So it's like, is he

414
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 1: is he hurt to the point where he couldn't play?

415
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:15,119
Speaker 1: Is he like back? Is he their backup going into games?

416
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 1: It's just a situation that I could see them manipulating

417
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 1: a little bit through uh, you know, just through the

418
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 1: injury report and the Steelers you don't do whatever. It

419
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 1: doesn't matter to you as long as you've got field

420
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 1: ripping and rarn. But if it feels word to get injured,

421
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 1: who goes into the game. Is Russell ready? Is he not?

422
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,200
Speaker 1: I don't know the answer to that. But so that's

423
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 1: that's my squad right there, because the Chiefs actually have

424
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 1: a lower point differential than the Steelers. I mean, the

425
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 1: Vikings and the Bills are destroying people. The Bills is

426
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,959
Speaker 1: their point differential through three games is sixty four points.

427
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:54,920
Speaker 1: That's pretty impressive. Obviously it helps when you beat a

428
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 1: team forty seven to ten, but the Vikings fifty five.

429
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:03,640
Speaker 1: The outhouse is pretty ugly. I mean, this is the Slumps.

430
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 1: This is a house you couldn't give away. Homeless people

431
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 1: might turn down a key to this pad. First, the Titans,

432
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 1: I actually don't think they're terrible, but when you roll

433
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:22,680
Speaker 1: out Will Levis, which the GM ran Carthin clearly liked.

434
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 1: He drafted him, he has supported him. I think Brian Callahan,

435
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:29,680
Speaker 1: you say what you got to say to get a job,

436
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 1: but when you have eight turnovers through three games, five interceptions,

437
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 1: I can't function with you. That was the thing with

438
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:43,200
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton de Bryce Young. It's like, listen, all these

439
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 1: former players and people on TV. You're like, this is bs.

440
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,400
Speaker 1: You gotta give them time, you gotta let them. Well,

441
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:53,959
Speaker 1: it's like, guys, if we can't run basic plays, basic

442
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:57,719
Speaker 1: pass plays and have them completed, I'm talking about balls

443
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 1: in the flat, a basic outrun out it's one thing

444
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:04,399
Speaker 1: that we're talking go routes and double passes and double

445
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 1: moves and deep posts. Okay that those are lower percentage throws.

446
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,920
Speaker 1: Caleb's missing some of those. But like when you can't

447
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 1: hit the layups, we can't function. And that's the thing

448
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,639
Speaker 1: with will Levis. Like he hits some sexy plays and

449
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 1: you can watch him on a given drive, like God,

450
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 1: Will Levis is not terrible, and then he'll just turn

451
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 1: the ball over at a round. I mean he's averaging

452
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:31,160
Speaker 1: right now more than two turnovers a game. You can't

453
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:34,200
Speaker 1: you cannot function like that. I don't care how well

454
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 1: your defense is played, and it hasn't been that bad,

455
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 1: but Will Levis has I think you could argue because

456
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:45,719
Speaker 1: Bryce Young was benched, is currently the worst starting quarterback

457
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 1: in the NFL. I think the team that is just

458
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:53,639
Speaker 1: pretty cemented in the outhouse right now, given the hype,

459
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 1: given how many people I keep hearing people say this

460
00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 1: is like last year when they were eight and three,

461
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 1: they were in the mix for the number one overall seat,

462
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 1: and then they've just lost basically every game since and

463
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:12,879
Speaker 1: that game on Monday. Playing in Buffalo is difficult, and

464
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:15,200
Speaker 1: when you get down in that situation, it can snowball

465
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 1: on you. But to lose forty seven to ten, this

466
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 1: is not a one double a team against an SEC team.

467
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 1: This is not one of those situations like you have

468
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:28,879
Speaker 1: a two and are million dollar quarterback, you have a

469
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 1: first round running back of first round wide receiver Christian

470
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 1: Kirk's been very productive, You've got multiple first rounders on defense, like,

471
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 1: you got players that a lot of other teams would want,

472
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:43,160
Speaker 1: and you're getting curb stumped in drug through the mud

473
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 1: in front of we'll get into this in a minute

474
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 1: nineteen million people. So I just I think the Jags

475
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 1: are in a really, really bad spot. And Doug had

476
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:56,200
Speaker 1: some comments today like he's handling adversity, well, he knows

477
00:25:56,200 --> 00:26:00,879
Speaker 1: it's been on him. All that stuff's great, but you

478
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 1: can say whatever you want. That was pretty gutlass. And

479
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 1: when your quarterback is playing as poorly as he is,

480
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 1: and let's face it, like he's super rich and he'll

481
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:14,399
Speaker 1: never have to worry about money the rest of his life,

482
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:16,920
Speaker 1: but that has to weigh on you a little bit

483
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 1: if you're a human being, Like I've been given all

484
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 1: this money I was told, like I'm the savior of

485
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 1: the franchise, and once you start playing that it can snowball,

486
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:28,919
Speaker 1: and I think there's a chance it could get even worse.

487
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:34,879
Speaker 1: So my penhouse Chiefs, Bills, Steelers, and the Vikings, and

488
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 1: my outhouse is strongly held by the two to zero

489
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:42,880
Speaker 1: to three teams Titans and Jags. I know the Bengals

490
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:45,159
Speaker 1: are rowing three to two, but I think they're in

491
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 1: a different level than these two teams. A couple of

492
00:26:56,560 --> 00:27:00,400
Speaker 1: quick things on the NFL. I don't like the doubleader

493
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 1: like I just like watching one game on Thursday night,

494
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:06,360
Speaker 1: on Sunday night and on Monday night. I think it's

495
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:10,119
Speaker 1: a pretty special occasion for the team, for the players.

496
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 1: I know the players and coaches sometimes don't like you know,

497
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 1: Monday night, it throws off your week, you got to

498
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:19,200
Speaker 1: wait around all day. But just in terms of knowing

499
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:21,920
Speaker 1: it's a bright light game, knowing that everyone in the country,

500
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:25,639
Speaker 1: everyone in your sport, they're all watching you play, I

501
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:28,440
Speaker 1: do think it's diminished a little bit in its importance

502
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 1: when there are two games going on simultaneously. I mean

503
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 1: for two hours on Monday they both were being played.

504
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:40,119
Speaker 1: There was a strong overlap. But I saw the numbers

505
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 1: today that it peaked between the two games at nineteen

506
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 1: million people, and at one point in time towards the end,

507
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:50,199
Speaker 1: when it was just one game, it was like fifteen

508
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:52,639
Speaker 1: million people, and early on it was like thirteen million people.

509
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:57,399
Speaker 1: This is all based on how many people view your stuff,

510
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 1: and the NFL loves having huge ratings, and they're in

511
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 1: bed with these TV partners. So if the TV partners

512
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:08,920
Speaker 1: like this, it's not only not gonna stop, they're going

513
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 1: to add to it, which sucks, which is not something

514
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 1: I want. But I'm also not naive to the way

515
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 1: the world works. This is all about money, and the

516
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 1: way these people make their money is by more people watching.

517
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:26,440
Speaker 1: So if you're ESPN, I would imagine you're gonna push

518
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:29,679
Speaker 1: for more of this. And I guess the one bright

519
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:34,680
Speaker 1: side is when you give two games, it does leave

520
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 1: the option if one's really bad, as was the Bills

521
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 1: Jags game an absolute blowout. We're getting two games again

522
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 1: this week. I didn't write down the other game, but

523
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 1: I know one of them's Titans Dolphins. I mean, that's

524
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:52,960
Speaker 1: that's a terrible game. It's Titans Dolphins in Seattle Detroit,

525
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 1: which is an excellent game. But I think we'd all

526
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 1: be fine with if it was just Seattle Detroit, but

527
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 1: that's it's just not the world we live in. The

528
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 1: other story that I saw was Netflix, who needs broadcasters

529
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 1: for these Christmas games? Right? They're not just going to

530
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 1: get broadcasters from scratch. They're going to attempt to hire

531
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 1: people from other networks because Christmas this year, I think's

532
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 1: on a Tuesday or Wednesday, so you could hire people

533
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 1: that are working that following Sunday pretty easily if they

534
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 1: agree to it. Now, the story was that Netflix wanted

535
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 1: Burkhart and Brady do call one of the games, and

536
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:38,479
Speaker 1: the headline was Fox declined. And my first thought was,

537
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 1: if you're Tom, I didn't retire from football to work

538
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:48,720
Speaker 1: on Christmas. Now. If I was Fox, I'd want these

539
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 1: guys on Netflix. I don't see how it hurts. It

540
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:56,440
Speaker 1: would just be good Tom Brady, everyone's at home. But

541
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 1: to me, my educated guest here is Tom wants no

542
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 1: part of this game. Not because like it's been rough,

543
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 1: it's been struggle, it's been you know, people have been

544
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 1: making fun of him that he's not any good. It's like, no,

545
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 1: I retired from football for my entire career, even if

546
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 1: we didn't play on Wednesday or Thursday during the week,

547
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 1: I still had to go into the like my Christmas

548
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 1: was not like normal people Christmases. I don't want to work,

549
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 1: and I don't blame him. I wouldn't want to either,

550
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 1: but they got denied. The last thing I want to

551
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 1: hit on is this story out of UNLV. The Burry

552
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 1: otom for Missouri. Coach has UNLV three to ohero for

553
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 1: the first time in like forty years. They've only had

554
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 1: like two winning seasons in the last twenty five years.

555
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 1: I mean, this is this is a bad football program.

556
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 1: And they have a massive game this week for the

557
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 1: Mountain West against Fresno State. It's a huge swing game

558
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 1: that could determine you know, who's in the conference championship game.

559
00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 1: My dogs, led by Tim Skipper, roll into Vegas and

560
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 1: this morning their starting quarterback, Matt Sluka, who's a former

561
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 1: Holy Cross quarterback transferred in this year, said I'm out,

562
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 1: I'm red shirting you guys screwed me. I'm no longer

563
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 1: gonna play for you now. Before we dive into this

564
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 1: individual situation, obviously there are takes flying left and right.

565
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 1: Everyone had an opinion, and I was like, I'm gonna

566
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 1: wait to tweet something before what side is true? Who knows?

567
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 1: But it was like, is this the start of something?

568
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:43,640
Speaker 1: Get ready for more of this? Let's not forget we're

569
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 1: talking UNLV football. If Alabama at LSU Ohio State, I'd

570
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:54,280
Speaker 1: say any top twenty ish program who was three and

571
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 1: zero and their quarterback wanted a little more money, they

572
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 1: would take care of it. This is not a situation.

573
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:05,720
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's never gonna happen, because it will

574
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 1: one day. I'm talking a top player Matt about what

575
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 1: he's getting paid and just quitting for a marquee brands

576
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 1: like wait, Michigan just lost their starting linebacker because he

577
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 1: wanted more money and he just quit. It will happen.

578
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 1: But I do think at quarterback, if this happened at

579
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 1: a premium program who is playing well, it would get

580
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 1: figured out and it would get figured out fast. I

581
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:39,320
Speaker 1: feel pretty confident on that now. Clearly for most of us,

582
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 1: anyone that's in a job that's based on a contract,

583
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 1: like what I do, I'm in a contract and a

584
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 1: partnership with Colin and the volume. It's very well laid out. Obviously,

585
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 1: if you are an at will employee and you make

586
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:57,720
Speaker 1: fifty grand, two hundred grand, whatever. There are times when you, hey,

587
00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 1: we need to revisit this. This is not working out

588
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 1: human nature. Welcome to real life. Now, in sports, when

589
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 1: you were under contract and you make whatever, you make

590
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 1: a million bucks, five million bucks, fifty million bucks, that

591
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 1: money's the money. Now when the season ends, you can negotiate,

592
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 1: but there's not much negotiating unless there's going to be

593
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 1: a big contract extension during the season. So if you're

594
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 1: gonna get a raise, you're gonna get a contract extension.

595
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 1: In a situation like this, which is kind of a

596
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 1: one off, a little more complicated. Now, let's just use

597
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 1: this scenario in which he was promised, because there are

598
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 1: a couple of stories out there. He put out the

599
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 1: story that he was promised or well reported, which clearly

600
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 1: coming from his camp one hundred thousand dollars, and he

601
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 1: has yet to receive any of it. I think it's

602
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:55,480
Speaker 1: very fair that any of our lives. I bet we

603
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 1: got a lot of people in sales that listen to me.

604
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:00,479
Speaker 1: If you do a deal with some one for one

605
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars, your company, your business, whatever the company

606
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:10,439
Speaker 1: you represent, I provide why, and you provide X, which

607
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 1: is one hundred grand. The moment they don't provide the

608
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:15,799
Speaker 1: one hundred grand or the payments toward that hundred grand,

609
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 1: you have a problem. Basic business. Welcome to the real world.

610
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:24,480
Speaker 1: The longer you live, I'm promising you, if we got

611
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:26,239
Speaker 1: some people that are young and in college in high

612
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 1: school that listen to this, you will experience that stuff.

613
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 1: I have a lot of people listening have as well.

614
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 1: And then usually the deal ends, the partnership ends. You

615
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:40,440
Speaker 1: stop providing whatever you promise because they're not paying. Welcome

616
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 1: to life. So if that's the case, have no problem

617
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:46,919
Speaker 1: with him being mad. If he committed to a deal

618
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 1: and they have provided the money, which they claim is true,

619
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 1: and that he went back to them and wanted a

620
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:59,839
Speaker 1: raise because he had beat Houston, and who's the other team.

621
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 1: He'd be Houston and Kansas. So he's feeling himself. My

622
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:09,279
Speaker 1: hundred grand, let's just pick a number. I want two

623
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 1: hundred more and they go listen one, This ain't Oregon

624
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:17,440
Speaker 1: or USC. It might be a city full of money,

625
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:20,280
Speaker 1: but they ain't given it to us. Here at UNLV football,

626
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:24,760
Speaker 1: we can't provide that. Like I understand where they're coming from,

627
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 1: which like we don't have the capability to even find

628
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 1: this right now. So if that's the case, like I

629
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 1: understand both sides, whatever way the situation actually played out

630
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:37,920
Speaker 1: right now, we don't know, because there are two stories

631
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 1: that are completely opposite. But I'm also not that shocked

632
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:45,880
Speaker 1: because when I was at Fresno State, I think we

633
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:48,759
Speaker 1: had one transfer on the team, and it was a

634
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:51,879
Speaker 1: guy that had played at Oregon and transferred. But back then,

635
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:55,400
Speaker 1: this was in the two thousands, if you transferred from

636
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:57,920
Speaker 1: another Division I school, So I met Oregon and I

637
00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 1: transferred to Fresno State, he had to sit out a year.

638
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:04,840
Speaker 1: So if I had played as a true freshman and

639
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:07,759
Speaker 1: I transferred the next year, I have to blow my

640
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:12,239
Speaker 1: red shirt year. If I've already red shirted, that year

641
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:14,239
Speaker 1: just counts as if I played, even though I'm not

642
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:18,279
Speaker 1: allowed to play. So most people, the most anyone transferred

643
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:22,920
Speaker 1: was basically one time. Well, now, all these guys are mercenaries.

644
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 1: So this guy comes from holy Cross. I don't pretend

645
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 1: to know anything about them. I don't follow U and

646
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:32,440
Speaker 1: OLV football, but he was clearly a heralded player at

647
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:34,280
Speaker 1: holy Cross in the division there. He was the player

648
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:36,720
Speaker 1: of the year in their conference. So he's a good player,

649
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:39,759
Speaker 1: leads the team obviously passing statistics. Also, was there leading

650
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 1: Russia good athlete. This notion I've heard is like, how

651
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 1: could he let down his teammates? Well, when I was

652
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:50,919
Speaker 1: at Fresno State and before the transfer portal, anyone listening

653
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:53,719
Speaker 1: to me that played college football for the most part,

654
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:56,040
Speaker 1: you were with the same crew of guys for four

655
00:36:56,080 --> 00:37:00,400
Speaker 1: or five years. They weren't just your teammates. As you

656
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:03,520
Speaker 1: get older, your lifelong friends. They are people you spent

657
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:07,880
Speaker 1: every waking moment with off season workouts, early morning workouts,

658
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:11,280
Speaker 1: off season practice, training camp, the season. You have years

659
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:14,120
Speaker 1: of equity with them. So when you talk about like

660
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:17,080
Speaker 1: your close friends, like what you would be willing to

661
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:19,759
Speaker 1: do for your close friends, you would be willing to

662
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 1: do more for them than someone you've known for six months,

663
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:26,080
Speaker 1: even if you're a great guy, shirt off your back

664
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 1: type person. This notion that he just let down his teammates,

665
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 1: he fucking showed up six months ago. I mean, how

666
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:36,759
Speaker 1: many close friends does this guy probably have on the team.

667
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:40,480
Speaker 1: My guess would be under five. I wonder if this

668
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:43,800
Speaker 1: plays out this way, because he got to college football

669
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:47,080
Speaker 1: in two thousand, if he had been on UNLV's team

670
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:50,480
Speaker 1: the entire his entire career, and the bulk of their

671
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 1: core guys he has known for several years. It would

672
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 1: probably be just as a human being, more difficult, But

673
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:02,360
Speaker 1: I'm not surprised that this happened at all. His loyalty

674
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:07,359
Speaker 1: to the team the coaches is not anywhere near what

675
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:11,239
Speaker 1: it used to be before transferport And trust me, I

676
00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:13,800
Speaker 1: know a lot of old school people around college football.

677
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 1: I've gotten a lot of texts. I'm not shocked at all,

678
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:20,160
Speaker 1: and at the end of the day this, I don't

679
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 1: care that it's UNLV and I'm glad. I think this

680
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:24,399
Speaker 1: would be a nice win for the Dogs. But how

681
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 1: can anyone be shocked these guys. They don't know these

682
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:33,359
Speaker 1: people that well. They simply do not. If he had

683
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:35,880
Speaker 1: been a three year starters like years of time with

684
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:38,879
Speaker 1: the three offensive lineman, his wide receiver, the five guys

685
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:41,600
Speaker 1: that are still there on defense, these guys would be

686
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:43,759
Speaker 1: people that will be at his wedding. He'll be at

687
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:46,520
Speaker 1: their weddings like one of them will probably be the

688
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:50,800
Speaker 1: godfather to his children. That ain't the case anymore in

689
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:53,479
Speaker 1: college football. These guys are moving around left and right,

690
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:57,719
Speaker 1: so I just think the overreaction to like this is

691
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:01,840
Speaker 1: what a guy that showed up months ago has a

692
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:04,480
Speaker 1: discrepancy with the school on how much he's worth or

693
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:06,600
Speaker 1: they didn't pay him or he should be paid. Now,

694
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:22,319
Speaker 1: quit not shocking at all. Okay, let's dive into the

695
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:25,359
Speaker 1: mailbag at John Middlecove, Instagram, fire and those dms. Get

696
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:29,200
Speaker 1: your question answered here on this show. Question for the back,

697
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:32,719
Speaker 1: I want to know your thoughts on the upcoming Bills

698
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:37,719
Speaker 1: Ravens Sunday Night football game. I remember saying that these

699
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:42,000
Speaker 1: franchise mirror each other and I couldn't agree more. Also

700
00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:44,320
Speaker 1: wanted to know if you're betting this game as well.

701
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:49,400
Speaker 1: I think from a big picture standpoint, when you start

702
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 1: three to zero, you just get a big win on

703
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:54,640
Speaker 1: Monday Night and you're going on the road for this game.

704
00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:57,719
Speaker 1: All the pressure to me is on the Ravens. They're

705
00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:01,680
Speaker 1: one and two. You can't start one three this is

706
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:04,200
Speaker 1: it's way more pressure on the Ravens than it is

707
00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:06,879
Speaker 1: the Bills, just based on their record and it's at home.

708
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:11,120
Speaker 1: But I looked this is a tough little stretch for

709
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:17,280
Speaker 1: the Bills. Get the Ravens Sunday Night in Baltimore, following

710
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:25,719
Speaker 1: week Houston Texans in Houston, then the following week the

711
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:30,360
Speaker 1: Jets Monday Night Football. So I think if you're the Bills,

712
00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:33,640
Speaker 1: if you win two out of three of those games

713
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:39,680
Speaker 1: and you are five and one, I mean you're in

714
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:43,480
Speaker 1: right there for the number one overall seed. If you

715
00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:46,120
Speaker 1: lose two of three of them and you're three and two,

716
00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:49,600
Speaker 1: I think we go. God. You know, you beat up

717
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:53,560
Speaker 1: on the Jags, you came flying back against the Cards,

718
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:57,880
Speaker 1: you beat the crap out of the the crappy Dolphins,

719
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:02,200
Speaker 1: but you play three potential playoff teams and lost. So

720
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:07,080
Speaker 1: if they don't win this game, they would have to

721
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:09,279
Speaker 1: win the next two games to feel really good and

722
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:12,560
Speaker 1: kind of validate where I think they're gonna go. But

723
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:15,080
Speaker 1: I would lean the Ravens in this game. I just

724
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:19,000
Speaker 1: think they got way more on the line. You start

725
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:21,280
Speaker 1: zero to two in the fashion in which they did,

726
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:24,759
Speaker 1: you're kind of digging yourself out of a hole. But

727
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:28,319
Speaker 1: I was burned so bad by the Ravens in that

728
00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:30,440
Speaker 1: game against the Chiefs. I just have a hard time

729
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:33,719
Speaker 1: putting money on them right now. But I would take

730
00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:35,840
Speaker 1: the emotion out of it. If I was to gamble

731
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:38,920
Speaker 1: the game. I would put money on the Ravens, one

732
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:41,640
Speaker 1: thing I've been doing and if you follow me on

733
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:45,040
Speaker 1: social media, so I hit a big touchdown parlay. Seventy

734
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:48,239
Speaker 1: five bucks turned into ninety two hundred felt pretty good.

735
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 1: I don't think the people at DraftKings my partners were

736
00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:53,640
Speaker 1: too happy with me because I've hit two parlays, one

737
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:56,520
Speaker 1: in the US Open for about nineteen grand. In that

738
00:41:56,560 --> 00:42:00,400
Speaker 1: one for nine, I almost hit an outrageous one two

739
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:02,760
Speaker 1: weeks ago that would have paid like two hundred thousand dollars.

740
00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:05,319
Speaker 1: It was like a fifty dollars parlay. I do like

741
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:08,720
Speaker 1: doing touchdowns, so if I don't feel great about the game,

742
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:11,239
Speaker 1: gambling on it. Like the Monday Night Football. There are

743
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 1: two games I put money on Brian Robinson, I put

744
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:16,560
Speaker 1: money on Khalil Shakir. I put money on Jamar Chase

745
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 1: and one other guy to score a touchdown, and they

746
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:25,640
Speaker 1: all score touchdowns. Jamar actually scored two, so you know,

747
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:29,520
Speaker 1: I would like Henry to score. I would like I

748
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:32,040
Speaker 1: think Keon Coleman's gonna score another time, like I would

749
00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:35,040
Speaker 1: do that. So when I don't like gambling on a game,

750
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:37,840
Speaker 1: on a night game or I'll do it again on

751
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:41,680
Speaker 1: the doubleheader for Monday Night Football. I will bet touchdowns,

752
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:46,680
Speaker 1: take you know whatever, twenty thirty bucks, fifty bucks, and

753
00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:50,400
Speaker 1: pick like four guys anytime touchdown running backs and receivers,

754
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:55,600
Speaker 1: so to me, James Cook touchdown machine Khalil Shakir already

755
00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:58,040
Speaker 1: has two touchdowns on the season, Like he's kind of

756
00:42:58,080 --> 00:43:01,640
Speaker 1: a go to guy for Josh, and clearly they're gonna

757
00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:03,879
Speaker 1: try to keep Dereck Henry in the mix. So that's

758
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:06,719
Speaker 1: probably the way I'm gonna gamble that game. It's a

759
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:09,640
Speaker 1: way that like, instead of putting a lot of money

760
00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:14,680
Speaker 1: and sweating out the whole game, parlay three guys pays

761
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:16,200
Speaker 1: I don't know, you can get it to like ten

762
00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:19,920
Speaker 1: to one, and uh you root for guys' score touchdowns.

763
00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:22,160
Speaker 1: I'm not just saying that because they're paying me. I

764
00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:27,400
Speaker 1: legitimately have been doing that and it's been awesome. And

765
00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:31,160
Speaker 1: I won and I gave Maria a huge hug because

766
00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:32,759
Speaker 1: we were about to eat dinner in the fourth quarter

767
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:34,640
Speaker 1: and I saw that ball go up, I'm like, please

768
00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:36,560
Speaker 1: be to one, and then I saw it was Jamar

769
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:41,839
Speaker 1: Chase and I went fucking bananas. Is it my imagination

770
00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:46,160
Speaker 1: or do NFL players get injured more frequently than they

771
00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:51,719
Speaker 1: used to, especially despite major advances in medicine, health and technology.

772
00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:54,960
Speaker 1: Still early in the season and it seems like nearly

773
00:43:55,040 --> 00:44:00,319
Speaker 1: every team is already dealing with an onslaught of injuries. Well,

774
00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:04,839
Speaker 1: I don't think you're wrong. I think my theory has

775
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:10,960
Speaker 1: been twofold one. There's a reason when you were preparing

776
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:15,160
Speaker 1: to go to the octagon or a boxing match, that

777
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:20,280
Speaker 1: you consistently spar and before, like the last fifteen years

778
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:24,920
Speaker 1: in the history of football, you had double days in pads.

779
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:28,520
Speaker 1: How when I was a kid in high school, we

780
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:32,719
Speaker 1: had three straight weeks of double days in one hundred

781
00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:36,160
Speaker 1: and ten degree heat. It sucked, It was really hard.

782
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:41,400
Speaker 1: But when I got to Fresno State, same thing. Maybe

783
00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:45,440
Speaker 1: after two weeks you get one practice off and you

784
00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:50,120
Speaker 1: develop callouses and it toughens you up. I also think

785
00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:56,439
Speaker 1: that guys now, which is commendable, they train all year long,

786
00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:02,239
Speaker 1: well forever, you know, guys would take a lot of

787
00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:06,719
Speaker 1: time off and work themselves back into shape. I do

788
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:11,040
Speaker 1: wonder if just the constant working out and never really

789
00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:14,440
Speaker 1: taking any time off at the level in which these

790
00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:17,319
Speaker 1: guys train is hard on your body. So you play

791
00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:20,520
Speaker 1: football when you've been training three sixty five to get

792
00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:23,799
Speaker 1: stronger and bigger than ever, and then the only time

793
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:27,319
Speaker 1: you full speed hit is in games. I mean, there

794
00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:30,680
Speaker 1: are stories, you know, back in the early two thousands,

795
00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:32,719
Speaker 1: and the history of the league is like you'd be

796
00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:35,560
Speaker 1: in full pads definitely Wednesday and Thursday in the NFL.

797
00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:38,279
Speaker 1: I've bet a lot of teams as the season goes

798
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:42,160
Speaker 1: on don't really practice in full pads. How can you

799
00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:46,000
Speaker 1: prepare for a football game when you're not doing that?

800
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:49,520
Speaker 1: I think it's very, very difficult, and I think that's

801
00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:55,400
Speaker 1: a huge, huge reason for the onslaught of these injuries.

802
00:45:57,120 --> 00:46:00,480
Speaker 1: This is from Harrison, who's got seven point eight thousand

803
00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:04,040
Speaker 1: followers doing pretty well here. Harrison wanted to give you

804
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:07,839
Speaker 1: props for saying that after watching the Bears Colts game

805
00:46:08,239 --> 00:46:11,720
Speaker 1: the Closer, a little Closer, you were impressed with Caleb

806
00:46:12,360 --> 00:46:16,000
Speaker 1: than you initially thought. Clearly, he's been some throws but

807
00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:19,360
Speaker 1: has gotten better every week. Bears not being able to

808
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:25,319
Speaker 1: run the ball is a massive problem. I agree. I

809
00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:29,080
Speaker 1: think I've heard a couple old school guys say this,

810
00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:33,520
Speaker 1: and it's just it's clear as day. When you can

811
00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:37,120
Speaker 1: run the ball, it takes so much pressure of any quarterback,

812
00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:42,200
Speaker 1: let alone a rookie, and the Bears to throw the

813
00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:47,440
Speaker 1: ball fifty times, fifty times in a game where the

814
00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:52,040
Speaker 1: majority of it you were down single digits is like

815
00:46:53,239 --> 00:46:57,160
Speaker 1: you got to be high on drugs. How is that possible?

816
00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:02,000
Speaker 1: How can you throw that many times? When I'm pulling

817
00:47:02,040 --> 00:47:03,520
Speaker 1: up the game because I don't want to get this

818
00:47:03,680 --> 00:47:10,880
Speaker 1: score wrong, but the halftime score was seven to nothing.

819
00:47:14,239 --> 00:47:19,399
Speaker 1: It was seven to three with like a minute left

820
00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:22,080
Speaker 1: to go in the third quarter, and then they scored

821
00:47:22,120 --> 00:47:26,240
Speaker 1: and went up fourteen to three. So the overwhelming sixty

822
00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:28,360
Speaker 1: percent of the game, you're down seven to nothing or

823
00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:34,600
Speaker 1: seven to three. He got to run the ball more.

824
00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:38,520
Speaker 1: You have to and maybe DeAndre Swift. Isn't that? Then

825
00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:42,320
Speaker 1: play someone else? Do you think the Jags could fire

826
00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:47,040
Speaker 1: the current coaching staff and hire Belichick and McDaniels. As

827
00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:49,200
Speaker 1: much as I like Doug, it's clear the team is

828
00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:53,480
Speaker 1: not organized and our game plans are a pathetic. Well,

829
00:47:53,920 --> 00:47:59,120
Speaker 1: if Belichick returns the Jags or whoever, I think it

830
00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:02,320
Speaker 1: is fair to assume and it would be an upset

831
00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:05,920
Speaker 1: if Josh McDaniels is not as offensive coordinator like I

832
00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:09,120
Speaker 1: think do we have universal agreement on that. I think

833
00:48:09,160 --> 00:48:12,960
Speaker 1: it'd be a pretty big curve ball if wherever Bill goes,

834
00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:17,200
Speaker 1: if Josh is not as oc. I think the defensive

835
00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:23,040
Speaker 1: coordinator is kind of clear too for whatever reason. And hell,

836
00:48:23,120 --> 00:48:26,240
Speaker 1: this guy might be nice and cool outside of football.

837
00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:31,160
Speaker 1: Bill loves Matt Patricia. If you end up on any

838
00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:34,399
Speaker 1: of Belichick's YouTube stuff, Patricia's sitting right next to him.

839
00:48:34,920 --> 00:48:38,520
Speaker 1: Obviously Patricia doesn't have much going on either, but it

840
00:48:38,600 --> 00:48:42,120
Speaker 1: shows you, Like, obviously Bill and Lombardi are boys, but

841
00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:46,280
Speaker 1: he he loves Patricia, so I And if you watch

842
00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:48,120
Speaker 1: some of these, like Bill will talk a little shit,

843
00:48:48,680 --> 00:48:51,399
Speaker 1: like Bill will say, Patricia still talks like a coach

844
00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:55,520
Speaker 1: afraid to offend anybody. It's like, bro, I nothing angers

845
00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:57,640
Speaker 1: me more then, like if you're gonna be in this

846
00:48:57,680 --> 00:49:02,120
Speaker 1: space and talk about it and like the games, like

847
00:49:02,239 --> 00:49:04,480
Speaker 1: can you be critical every once in a while. It's

848
00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:06,920
Speaker 1: not like you're mister entertainer like John Gruden, who I

849
00:49:06,960 --> 00:49:09,080
Speaker 1: would say leans a little positive, even though if you

850
00:49:09,080 --> 00:49:11,040
Speaker 1: got him off Mike, he could probably be pretty negative.

851
00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:14,960
Speaker 1: But John's like hooton and hollering. Patricia's just like, can

852
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:16,960
Speaker 1: you bring anything more to the table? Than something I

853
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:20,920
Speaker 1: could say, coach his lead for twenty years, but I

854
00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:26,920
Speaker 1: think it's I would assume, let's just hypothetically say Dougs

855
00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:30,120
Speaker 1: fired at the end of the season, so is bulky

856
00:49:30,320 --> 00:49:32,600
Speaker 1: that the coaching staff would be Bill as the head coach,

857
00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:37,480
Speaker 1: McDaniels as the offensive coordinator, and Patricia as the defensive coordinator,

858
00:49:38,719 --> 00:49:43,880
Speaker 1: which would be I mean, how fun would that be for? Uh? Trevor,

859
00:49:45,200 --> 00:49:48,160
Speaker 1: help me understand what it is about teams like the

860
00:49:48,239 --> 00:49:52,319
Speaker 1: Pats of the two thousands and now the Chiefs, where

861
00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:57,239
Speaker 1: opponents all of a sudden do stuff uncharacteristically. Looking at

862
00:49:57,280 --> 00:50:00,799
Speaker 1: the Falcons, Bengals and Ravens games first the chief there

863
00:50:00,800 --> 00:50:05,440
Speaker 1: were several head coaching plays, calls, decisions by the coaching staff.

864
00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:09,360
Speaker 1: I do think once you get to a certain level,

865
00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:16,120
Speaker 1: if you're playing you know, a great NBA team, if

866
00:50:16,120 --> 00:50:18,799
Speaker 1: you were playing Tiger Woods or Scottie Scheffler in their

867
00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:21,719
Speaker 1: prime and golf, if you're playing one of the big

868
00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:27,960
Speaker 1: three tennis guys you know Joker, Nadal, Federer, any of

869
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:30,160
Speaker 1: those type. I know the new guy forget his name

870
00:50:30,160 --> 00:50:33,359
Speaker 1: in the Spanish, dude who's not obviously on their level yet.

871
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:36,920
Speaker 1: But when you get the aura of like they're just

872
00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:39,600
Speaker 1: gonna win, they always win. I do think it gets

873
00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:44,480
Speaker 1: in your head and you don't think straight, because it

874
00:50:44,680 --> 00:50:48,200
Speaker 1: clearly happened to the Patriots a lot, like teams would

875
00:50:48,280 --> 00:50:51,120
Speaker 1: kind of mentally crumble and they wouldn't Now. I think

876
00:50:51,120 --> 00:50:58,360
Speaker 1: Bobby Knight always had the famous saying that dumb loses

877
00:50:58,440 --> 00:51:02,840
Speaker 1: more games than smart wins. It's probably true, like making

878
00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:06,839
Speaker 1: mistakes is a big problem, But I do think there

879
00:51:06,840 --> 00:51:10,640
Speaker 1: are certain opponents. Brady and Belichick were like this forever.

880
00:51:11,600 --> 00:51:14,560
Speaker 1: As someone that loves Tiger Woods, he was definitely like this.

881
00:51:15,600 --> 00:51:17,880
Speaker 1: You know, way back in the day, Jordan was, you know,

882
00:51:18,560 --> 00:51:22,400
Speaker 1: one percent would fall under this umbrella where you just

883
00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:26,879
Speaker 1: get tight, you just get nervous. And I think it's

884
00:51:26,960 --> 00:51:29,120
Speaker 1: human nature. Even if you didn't play college sports, if

885
00:51:29,120 --> 00:51:33,240
Speaker 1: you played high school sports and you ever played against

886
00:51:33,400 --> 00:51:35,640
Speaker 1: you know, guys that you know whatever the sport, being

887
00:51:35,680 --> 00:51:38,279
Speaker 1: like this guy's going d one, you do feel it

888
00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:42,800
Speaker 1: inside a little bit. If you, you know, play tennis

889
00:51:42,920 --> 00:51:46,080
Speaker 1: or golf and you're playing someone for money, I don't

890
00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:47,520
Speaker 1: know in tennis, do you play guys straight up for

891
00:51:47,560 --> 00:51:49,799
Speaker 1: money like we do in golf, and you know that

892
00:51:49,920 --> 00:51:52,480
Speaker 1: like you're not better than that guy, even if you're

893
00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:54,279
Speaker 1: out playing him, it can kind of get in your

894
00:51:54,280 --> 00:51:57,239
Speaker 1: head when it gets net crunch in time. I think

895
00:51:57,280 --> 00:52:00,560
Speaker 1: the great part about all this stuff is at the

896
00:52:00,640 --> 00:52:03,200
Speaker 1: end of the day, you're dealing with humans, like this

897
00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:05,920
Speaker 1: is not a computer based on them. Like there are emotions,

898
00:52:06,960 --> 00:52:11,759
Speaker 1: and I think the best way to have success in

899
00:52:11,880 --> 00:52:17,160
Speaker 1: sports is to just play, not think. Like your thinking's

900
00:52:17,239 --> 00:52:19,279
Speaker 1: part of your preparation, but you don't have to think

901
00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:22,200
Speaker 1: while you're playing. It's what makes the teams the best,

902
00:52:22,200 --> 00:52:24,080
Speaker 1: Like it's why the Patriots and the Chiefs like it

903
00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:26,839
Speaker 1: doesn't feel like they overthink stuff. I do think their

904
00:52:26,840 --> 00:52:29,600
Speaker 1: opponents sometimes getting their own heads. It happened last year

905
00:52:29,600 --> 00:52:33,480
Speaker 1: with the Ravens and Lamar. You could see it when

906
00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:37,200
Speaker 1: they were playing. It's like, Lamar, just stop overthinking this.

907
00:52:39,320 --> 00:52:45,799
Speaker 1: Definitely Todd Munkin, I've been listening for a while, one

908
00:52:45,800 --> 00:52:49,520
Speaker 1: of my favorite pods. I like this guy. I have

909
00:52:49,520 --> 00:52:52,839
Speaker 1: a question about this past weekend. This is two weeks ago.

910
00:52:53,040 --> 00:52:55,160
Speaker 1: I just can't wrap my head around the outcome of

911
00:52:55,239 --> 00:52:59,640
Speaker 1: the Raiders in Panther game. I understand that Dalton is

912
00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:03,920
Speaker 1: a more more capable passer than Bryce, and he's a veteran,

913
00:53:04,719 --> 00:53:08,040
Speaker 1: But how are the Panthers all of a sudden able

914
00:53:08,080 --> 00:53:12,280
Speaker 1: to crush the Raiders the way they did. They couldn't

915
00:53:12,280 --> 00:53:14,640
Speaker 1: do shit for two weeks. And I'm not even talking

916
00:53:14,640 --> 00:53:18,239
Speaker 1: about the quarterback but the offense in general. This game

917
00:53:18,320 --> 00:53:22,320
Speaker 1: was never close, in my opinion, another interesting weekend for betters.

918
00:53:22,719 --> 00:53:24,800
Speaker 1: When all of the zero and two teams win games

919
00:53:25,120 --> 00:53:29,440
Speaker 1: have a great day. This piggybacks on what we just

920
00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:32,640
Speaker 1: talked about. I think you see it a lot when

921
00:53:32,719 --> 00:53:35,200
Speaker 1: a head coach is fired and interim coach comes in.

922
00:53:35,880 --> 00:53:41,320
Speaker 1: We're dealing with human beings, so there is a belief that, like, okay,

923
00:53:42,239 --> 00:53:45,040
Speaker 1: this change is going to help us out, and maybe

924
00:53:45,080 --> 00:53:48,400
Speaker 1: I give a little bit more energy in practice, maybe

925
00:53:48,600 --> 00:53:51,319
Speaker 1: during the week I come with a smile on my

926
00:53:51,400 --> 00:53:56,879
Speaker 1: face to work Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and just more

927
00:53:56,920 --> 00:54:01,600
Speaker 1: into the meetings and more attentative. I think you can

928
00:54:01,680 --> 00:54:06,440
Speaker 1: never underestimate this part about sports in general, but specifically

929
00:54:06,480 --> 00:54:12,719
Speaker 1: football is the power of belief. And sometimes when it's snowballs,

930
00:54:12,760 --> 00:54:14,759
Speaker 1: you stop believing in a coach, you stop believing in

931
00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:19,480
Speaker 1: a quarterback. You know, Listen, we can debate whether like

932
00:54:19,520 --> 00:54:23,320
Speaker 1: you can manifest things in life you know how the

933
00:54:24,080 --> 00:54:28,920
Speaker 1: mind is clearly really powerful. I think I would argue

934
00:54:28,960 --> 00:54:33,920
Speaker 1: that you can't like manifest specific things, but I do

935
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:37,319
Speaker 1: think that when you put your mind to something, you

936
00:54:37,480 --> 00:54:41,080
Speaker 1: gain positive outcomes over time. It might not happen immediately,

937
00:54:41,160 --> 00:54:45,080
Speaker 1: but think as a player, like, how could you if

938
00:54:45,080 --> 00:54:49,600
Speaker 1: you were Adam Feelin have any faith in Brescia? How

939
00:54:49,600 --> 00:54:52,640
Speaker 1: could you if you were the offensive lineman. It's like,

940
00:54:52,719 --> 00:54:56,120
Speaker 1: even when we block, you skip balls into the dirt.

941
00:54:56,920 --> 00:54:59,759
Speaker 1: So Andy Dalton, who's been playing the league feels like

942
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:03,840
Speaker 1: twenty years, comes in. There's probably a confidence when he

943
00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:05,600
Speaker 1: des steps in the huddle like I know the player,

944
00:55:05,640 --> 00:55:07,800
Speaker 1: I know where to throw the ball now, whether the

945
00:55:07,840 --> 00:55:10,480
Speaker 1: ball actually gets there and stuff. Obviously he played well,

946
00:55:10,560 --> 00:55:15,600
Speaker 1: but I think that's an underrated aspect of football. It's

947
00:55:15,600 --> 00:55:21,080
Speaker 1: why there's so much pushback so often from football guys, players,

948
00:55:21,160 --> 00:55:26,560
Speaker 1: coaches to the black and white analytical community. You have

949
00:55:26,640 --> 00:55:30,760
Speaker 1: to do this, well, every game is different. You gotta

950
00:55:30,840 --> 00:55:33,440
Speaker 1: go for it. In this situation, Well, what if we

951
00:55:33,480 --> 00:55:35,400
Speaker 1: have the worst offensive line and the worst offense in

952
00:55:35,400 --> 00:55:38,080
Speaker 1: the league and our defense is a top five defense,

953
00:55:38,080 --> 00:55:40,359
Speaker 1: aren't we better off punting here? Seeing if we get

954
00:55:40,360 --> 00:55:43,279
Speaker 1: a turnover? And that's where I think the arguments go

955
00:55:43,360 --> 00:55:47,600
Speaker 1: back and forth because of all the games, all the sports,

956
00:55:48,719 --> 00:55:53,439
Speaker 1: the intangible aspect of like toughness, grit, you know, things

957
00:55:53,480 --> 00:55:56,799
Speaker 1: that you can't measure outside of the stat sheet and

958
00:55:56,840 --> 00:56:01,960
Speaker 1: production and physical attributes football. It's why so many guys

959
00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:06,279
Speaker 1: as undrafted free agents have ten year careers because you

960
00:56:06,280 --> 00:56:09,879
Speaker 1: couldn't quantify how tough they were, how much they wanted it,

961
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:14,440
Speaker 1: how deep down burning in their soul. Obviously you have

962
00:56:14,520 --> 00:56:17,839
Speaker 1: to have talent in the NFL, but like how much

963
00:56:17,880 --> 00:56:22,800
Speaker 1: football means do them, how football smart they are? Whenever

964
00:56:22,840 --> 00:56:25,640
Speaker 1: I bullshit with coaches and I talk to scouts more

965
00:56:25,640 --> 00:56:29,319
Speaker 1: than I do coaches, But like whenever I see coach

966
00:56:29,360 --> 00:56:32,239
Speaker 1: read at the combine or text him a question, I

967
00:56:32,280 --> 00:56:35,640
Speaker 1: think you'd be stunned how often that Like they talk

968
00:56:35,719 --> 00:56:39,960
Speaker 1: about football intelligence, meaning like how guys can handle stuff

969
00:56:40,280 --> 00:56:44,720
Speaker 1: and not because like guys that don't know what they're doing,

970
00:56:45,920 --> 00:56:49,719
Speaker 1: it can snowball fast, but like guys that are really

971
00:56:49,719 --> 00:56:53,920
Speaker 1: football smart, it's way easier to play fast and think

972
00:56:53,920 --> 00:56:56,680
Speaker 1: about like Andy Dalton is a smart football guy, but

973
00:56:56,760 --> 00:56:58,360
Speaker 1: knock on him has always been like does he have

974
00:56:58,440 --> 00:57:02,759
Speaker 1: enough talent so if he plays a good game. You know,

975
00:57:02,880 --> 00:57:07,759
Speaker 1: he knows what he's doing. It'd be Andy Dalton in

976
00:57:07,760 --> 00:57:10,279
Speaker 1: that game if he was a basketball player. What he

977
00:57:10,360 --> 00:57:12,760
Speaker 1: just had one of those days he was like, God, dude,

978
00:57:12,800 --> 00:57:15,480
Speaker 1: what eight of nine from three pointers? Yeah, it was

979
00:57:15,480 --> 00:57:18,560
Speaker 1: just hot man, couldn't miss. After the game, he'd be like, Yeah,

980
00:57:18,600 --> 00:57:21,040
Speaker 1: I just felt good. Leave in my hand. Whenever I

981
00:57:21,120 --> 00:57:23,960
Speaker 1: played Madden, I like to imagine what you, Colin and

982
00:57:24,040 --> 00:57:28,439
Speaker 1: McAfee would say about my team after every game. I'm

983
00:57:28,440 --> 00:57:31,240
Speaker 1: a Seahawks fan and wondering if there is a path

984
00:57:31,840 --> 00:57:36,040
Speaker 1: out of the Geno Smith purgatory. He's not bad enough

985
00:57:36,080 --> 00:57:40,440
Speaker 1: to get a top round pick. He's not bad enough

986
00:57:40,440 --> 00:57:42,600
Speaker 1: to get a top pick, but he's not good enough

987
00:57:42,680 --> 00:57:45,040
Speaker 1: to make the throws late in games and big time moments.

988
00:57:45,480 --> 00:57:47,960
Speaker 1: And he has zero and five against the Niners. Thanks

989
00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:52,920
Speaker 1: in advance. I think you just got a trust in

990
00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:57,640
Speaker 1: John Schneider is he is going to do something drastic

991
00:57:57,720 --> 00:58:02,040
Speaker 1: and bold. And I think depending on how this season goes.

992
00:58:03,080 --> 00:58:06,600
Speaker 1: You know, if you win eleven games, who do you play?

993
00:58:06,640 --> 00:58:10,640
Speaker 1: You play the Lions. So let's say you lose that game,

994
00:58:11,640 --> 00:58:13,400
Speaker 1: play the Lions in Detroit. Okay, I'll give you a

995
00:58:13,400 --> 00:58:15,920
Speaker 1: loss so you're three and one. Let's just play you

996
00:58:15,960 --> 00:58:19,400
Speaker 1: play the Giants at home. I mean, you've got a

997
00:58:19,440 --> 00:58:21,600
Speaker 1: pretty good shot to be four and one going into

998
00:58:21,600 --> 00:58:25,240
Speaker 1: that nine or Thursday game. But even if you beat

999
00:58:25,280 --> 00:58:27,240
Speaker 1: the Giants, who were to lose to the Niners, you're

1000
00:58:27,280 --> 00:58:31,640
Speaker 1: four and two. Then you play the Falcons, the Bills,

1001
00:58:31,680 --> 00:58:34,520
Speaker 1: the Rams, the Niners, the Cards, the Jets, the Cards,

1002
00:58:34,520 --> 00:58:40,080
Speaker 1: the Packers, the Vikings, the Bears, the Rams. To me,

1003
00:58:40,160 --> 00:58:42,720
Speaker 1: there's a difference of being in purgatory and winning like

1004
00:58:42,840 --> 00:58:47,360
Speaker 1: seven eight games and just being like this sucks. If

1005
00:58:47,400 --> 00:58:49,720
Speaker 1: you're in purgatory and you make the playoffs and win

1006
00:58:49,760 --> 00:58:52,120
Speaker 1: double digit games. If you win, go ten and seven

1007
00:58:52,160 --> 00:58:56,640
Speaker 1: this year, and let's just speak conservative and say you

1008
00:58:56,680 --> 00:59:00,400
Speaker 1: win a wildcard, you don't win the division. Two out

1009
00:59:00,400 --> 00:59:03,880
Speaker 1: of three years you made the playoffs, that's pretty good.

1010
00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:05,480
Speaker 1: You know. It's funny. I was text with a buddy

1011
00:59:05,600 --> 00:59:09,360
Speaker 1: the other day, my buddy Scotty, who uh just texted me,

1012
00:59:09,400 --> 00:59:11,560
Speaker 1: We're gonna put a little money on the international team

1013
00:59:11,600 --> 00:59:13,560
Speaker 1: for the President's Cup on on draft Kings. You get

1014
00:59:13,640 --> 00:59:15,800
Speaker 1: him two seventy five to one before they tee off

1015
00:59:15,840 --> 00:59:20,880
Speaker 1: on Thursday morning. And I was saying, you know what's

1016
00:59:20,920 --> 00:59:23,360
Speaker 1: crazy about like the forty nine ers. They have been

1017
00:59:23,400 --> 00:59:28,600
Speaker 1: to seven conference championships since twenty eleven, seven three super

1018
00:59:28,640 --> 00:59:32,160
Speaker 1: bowls in are zero to three. It sucks like these

1019
00:59:32,680 --> 00:59:34,920
Speaker 1: who knows they may never win a super Bowl again

1020
00:59:35,200 --> 00:59:38,560
Speaker 1: as possible been some franchise and the Eagles didn't win

1021
00:59:38,560 --> 00:59:41,440
Speaker 1: a super Bowl first time in franchise history twenty seventeen.

1022
00:59:41,480 --> 00:59:44,680
Speaker 1: It's no guarantee you're ever gonna win one. But would

1023
00:59:44,680 --> 00:59:49,360
Speaker 1: you take that fifteen year run where basically the majority

1024
00:59:49,400 --> 00:59:51,320
Speaker 1: of the years you're not just good, but like you're

1025
00:59:51,360 --> 00:59:54,880
Speaker 1: a real player. In half those conference championships are going

1026
00:59:54,920 --> 00:59:57,440
Speaker 1: to the super Bowl, and it's just it's an incredible

1027
00:59:57,480 --> 01:00:00,000
Speaker 1: six months. And really when you're good, it's it's an

1028
01:00:00,040 --> 01:00:02,360
Speaker 1: awesome year because you talk and think about your team

1029
01:00:02,400 --> 01:00:06,400
Speaker 1: a lot. Or would you choose the Giants, who have

1030
01:00:06,480 --> 01:00:09,600
Speaker 1: two of the more impressive underdog super Bowl victories in

1031
01:00:09,600 --> 01:00:11,960
Speaker 1: the history league. I mean, two thousand and seven is

1032
01:00:12,520 --> 01:00:14,960
Speaker 1: one of the greatest upsets of all time. It's your

1033
01:00:14,960 --> 01:00:18,680
Speaker 1: boys first big sports bet. I bet all the money

1034
01:00:18,680 --> 01:00:21,880
Speaker 1: I had with my roommate Trenton, and we watched it

1035
01:00:21,920 --> 01:00:23,600
Speaker 1: alone and it was awesome. I think they were like

1036
01:00:23,680 --> 01:00:28,760
Speaker 1: got him in like plus thirteen, but ten of the

1037
01:00:28,840 --> 01:00:31,680
Speaker 1: last twelve years the Giants started zero to two. So

1038
01:00:31,720 --> 01:00:35,640
Speaker 1: it's like their highs have been incredibly high and they

1039
01:00:35,640 --> 01:00:39,919
Speaker 1: got parades, but for a lot. If you're thirty years old,

1040
01:00:40,080 --> 01:00:41,760
Speaker 1: you've seen a couple of Super Bowls, but you have

1041
01:00:41,840 --> 01:00:45,040
Speaker 1: seen a lot of shitty football. And I don't know

1042
01:00:45,040 --> 01:00:49,160
Speaker 1: if there's a right answer, because there's nothing as a

1043
01:00:49,200 --> 01:00:52,440
Speaker 1: sports fan like you know, being invested, especially if you

1044
01:00:52,480 --> 01:00:55,680
Speaker 1: go to some games, you have friends and family, if

1045
01:00:55,680 --> 01:00:57,600
Speaker 1: you live in the areas, it's a big part of

1046
01:00:58,640 --> 01:01:02,320
Speaker 1: the community and you know your life. So winning a

1047
01:01:02,360 --> 01:01:07,040
Speaker 1: championship is incredible, but those shitty years, and if there's

1048
01:01:07,040 --> 01:01:11,520
Speaker 1: a lot of them, that sucks. So I think we

1049
01:01:11,640 --> 01:01:15,520
Speaker 1: both settled on Obviously there's nothing like super Bowls, but

1050
01:01:16,120 --> 01:01:18,360
Speaker 1: I think you would want your team if you could

1051
01:01:18,360 --> 01:01:21,720
Speaker 1: just guarantee every year be pretty good. There's value in that.

1052
01:01:21,800 --> 01:01:27,360
Speaker 1: So this gets back to Seattle, like, could be worse,

1053
01:01:27,960 --> 01:01:31,480
Speaker 1: could be worse? Chiefs fan here, currently third quarter of

1054
01:01:31,520 --> 01:01:34,920
Speaker 1: the Chiefs Falcons game New Slash. You guys won, What

1055
01:01:34,960 --> 01:01:36,760
Speaker 1: do you think the Chiefs red zone problem has been

1056
01:01:36,800 --> 01:01:39,600
Speaker 1: this last year? One would think that arguably the best

1057
01:01:39,600 --> 01:01:42,120
Speaker 1: head coach, quarterback and tight end of all time would

1058
01:01:42,160 --> 01:01:44,040
Speaker 1: be able to dial up a few plays for touchdowns,

1059
01:01:44,360 --> 01:01:46,080
Speaker 1: kind of like the last two Super Bowls where they

1060
01:01:46,120 --> 01:01:48,680
Speaker 1: had multiple wide open touchdowns. I understand they don't want

1061
01:01:48,680 --> 01:01:53,320
Speaker 1: to show their cards until the playoffs, but still frustrating. Well,

1062
01:01:53,360 --> 01:01:55,880
Speaker 1: I mean there's a lot of conversation out there. Obviously

1063
01:01:55,920 --> 01:01:59,920
Speaker 1: Travis is starting slow. Whether you know, I saw Todd

1064
01:02:00,080 --> 01:02:03,040
Speaker 1: McShay went on this rants out of shape? Is he old?

1065
01:02:03,320 --> 01:02:04,840
Speaker 1: Does it just take him a while to get going?

1066
01:02:05,720 --> 01:02:07,880
Speaker 1: I mean, he's your best red zone target, right He's

1067
01:02:07,920 --> 01:02:10,000
Speaker 1: the best pass catching tight end the history of the league.

1068
01:02:10,040 --> 01:02:13,600
Speaker 1: He's your best red zone target? How many? I mean,

1069
01:02:13,880 --> 01:02:17,640
Speaker 1: you're talking about a guy did if I just pull

1070
01:02:17,720 --> 01:02:19,760
Speaker 1: up his wiki page and go down to his stats,

1071
01:02:21,280 --> 01:02:27,680
Speaker 1: I mean Travis was basically starting with Mahomes. You're talking ten, eleven, nine, twelve.

1072
01:02:29,200 --> 01:02:34,400
Speaker 1: So for from twenty eighteen he had five touchdowns, which

1073
01:02:34,480 --> 01:02:37,720
Speaker 1: a little down nineteen, but then eleven and twenty nine

1074
01:02:37,800 --> 01:02:41,520
Speaker 1: and twenty one, twelve and twenty two. Last year A

1075
01:02:41,520 --> 01:02:46,120
Speaker 1: had five and this year at zero. I mean that's

1076
01:02:46,320 --> 01:02:50,680
Speaker 1: that's a big swing. Right now. Pachaco's injured. You know,

1077
01:02:50,720 --> 01:02:53,120
Speaker 1: I steal his own family didn't think he was an

1078
01:02:53,200 --> 01:02:58,960
Speaker 1: NFL player. Who's your best receiver? She Rice? Which I like,

1079
01:02:59,000 --> 01:03:03,080
Speaker 1: I mean where she Rice is good, But I think

1080
01:03:03,120 --> 01:03:06,600
Speaker 1: having Kelsey kind of looking his ages is a red

1081
01:03:06,680 --> 01:03:14,080
Speaker 1: zone issue. Mike from Chicago, I just wanted to get

1082
01:03:14,080 --> 01:03:16,760
Speaker 1: your thoughts on Caleb Williams after Week three. Personally, this

1083
01:03:16,760 --> 01:03:18,479
Speaker 1: week he showed me that he's really worth the first

1084
01:03:18,480 --> 01:03:22,280
Speaker 1: overall pick, showed lots of improvement, still making several rookie mistakes.

1085
01:03:23,040 --> 01:03:26,480
Speaker 1: Totally agree. I said that I think on what would

1086
01:03:26,520 --> 01:03:30,800
Speaker 1: that have been Tuesday's podcast that he showed a lot

1087
01:03:30,800 --> 01:03:34,120
Speaker 1: in that game. It's your offensive coaching staff's atrocious, your

1088
01:03:34,160 --> 01:03:37,840
Speaker 1: running game bad, your play calling is bad, but you

1089
01:03:37,880 --> 01:03:41,760
Speaker 1: watch him. I'd take that guy in my team, you know,

1090
01:03:41,800 --> 01:03:44,880
Speaker 1: if I was a coach or a GM and a heartbeat,

1091
01:03:45,240 --> 01:03:49,479
Speaker 1: Anthony Fremer said, that's in the valley in California. Even

1092
01:03:49,480 --> 01:03:52,840
Speaker 1: though I don't watch the Niner game, I got notifications

1093
01:03:52,840 --> 01:03:56,520
Speaker 1: throughout the game and watched highlights after Perti and Jennings

1094
01:03:56,600 --> 01:04:00,520
Speaker 1: carried the team. But because the defensive failing in the secondary,

1095
01:04:00,560 --> 01:04:06,120
Speaker 1: another missed opportunity, will this lose overshadow how good Perty

1096
01:04:06,280 --> 01:04:09,880
Speaker 1: was throwing and in the running game, do you think

1097
01:04:09,920 --> 01:04:15,520
Speaker 1: Perty's performance will change critics. Nothing is gonna change Perty's critics.

1098
01:04:15,800 --> 01:04:18,440
Speaker 1: They will not go away. I think he is the

1099
01:04:18,560 --> 01:04:23,240
Speaker 1: easiest target for critics, and we've exhausted this conversation. It

1100
01:04:23,240 --> 01:04:25,600
Speaker 1: all has to do with his draft status. And when

1101
01:04:25,600 --> 01:04:27,720
Speaker 1: you're drafted later and you have success, you are a

1102
01:04:27,720 --> 01:04:31,680
Speaker 1: more polarizing player. Dak has been the most polarizing player.

1103
01:04:31,800 --> 01:04:36,080
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins, Russell Wilson. People forget Russell is very polarizing

1104
01:04:36,160 --> 01:04:39,160
Speaker 1: in the prime of his career. If they were number

1105
01:04:39,160 --> 01:04:41,560
Speaker 1: one overall picks and did what they did, like Trevor Lawrence,

1106
01:04:42,120 --> 01:04:45,680
Speaker 1: everyone would talk about him as top five quarterbacks. But

1107
01:04:45,760 --> 01:04:49,439
Speaker 1: when you get drafted in the third, fourth, fifth, last

1108
01:04:49,440 --> 01:04:55,880
Speaker 1: pick in the draft, people nitpick you. It's funny, you know.

1109
01:04:55,960 --> 01:05:01,200
Speaker 1: I guess sometimes I think for the rest of my life,

1110
01:05:01,600 --> 01:05:04,840
Speaker 1: my job is to just be critical of things. You

1111
01:05:05,000 --> 01:05:06,640
Speaker 1: kind of like look in the mirrors, like that's what

1112
01:05:06,680 --> 01:05:09,440
Speaker 1: you want to do, which is kind of essentially what

1113
01:05:09,520 --> 01:05:12,880
Speaker 1: this job becomes. It's like, well that's kind of how

1114
01:05:12,880 --> 01:05:15,600
Speaker 1: I talk, right, I mean, it's just it's not like

1115
01:05:15,640 --> 01:05:19,120
Speaker 1: I'm faking any of this, Like I'm watching the show

1116
01:05:19,160 --> 01:05:23,000
Speaker 1: on the Mendoza Brothers that on Netflix that killed their

1117
01:05:23,040 --> 01:05:25,840
Speaker 1: parents back in nineteen eighty nine. Their dad was like

1118
01:05:25,880 --> 01:05:31,800
Speaker 1: this hot shot music kind of Hollywood guy, and the

1119
01:05:31,840 --> 01:05:34,840
Speaker 1: two brothers, two good looking guys that were nineteen and

1120
01:05:34,920 --> 01:05:41,240
Speaker 1: twenty one spoiler alert, just annihilated their parents with shotguns.

1121
01:05:41,760 --> 01:05:44,720
Speaker 1: And it's this crazy story and you're watching it, and

1122
01:05:44,880 --> 01:05:48,080
Speaker 1: while it's very entertaining, you're just thinking, like how much

1123
01:05:48,560 --> 01:05:52,560
Speaker 1: of this is true? You're like reading articles talking with Maria,

1124
01:05:52,760 --> 01:05:55,880
Speaker 1: I'm just naturally kind of nitpicking, like is this real?

1125
01:05:56,160 --> 01:05:58,880
Speaker 1: Is this what really happened? You know, the meat, like

1126
01:05:59,120 --> 01:06:02,640
Speaker 1: the killing happened, but the show was about everything else.

1127
01:06:02,680 --> 01:06:04,720
Speaker 1: I mean a huge part of it was like the

1128
01:06:04,800 --> 01:06:08,200
Speaker 1: dad was molesting the kids, but like, is that actually true?

1129
01:06:08,320 --> 01:06:10,440
Speaker 1: Is it not true? And no one knows at this

1130
01:06:10,480 --> 01:06:13,040
Speaker 1: point in time thirty five years later. Some people say

1131
01:06:13,040 --> 01:06:16,000
Speaker 1: it's true, some people are vehemently against it never happened.

1132
01:06:16,000 --> 01:06:19,680
Speaker 1: You just hit them, And you know, I think we're

1133
01:06:19,720 --> 01:06:23,720
Speaker 1: just all kind of naturally critical of because I left

1134
01:06:23,720 --> 01:06:26,680
Speaker 1: the show thinking like that was really entertaining and I

1135
01:06:26,800 --> 01:06:29,520
Speaker 1: enjoyed most of it, but is that just like a

1136
01:06:30,120 --> 01:06:32,840
Speaker 1: is a lot of all this stuff made up? For

1137
01:06:32,960 --> 01:06:35,360
Speaker 1: television to entertain me while I'm laying in bed at

1138
01:06:35,400 --> 01:06:40,360
Speaker 1: nine thirty at night, or or is eighty five percent

1139
01:06:40,360 --> 01:06:42,720
Speaker 1: of this reel. And in a weird way, you kind

1140
01:06:42,760 --> 01:06:45,520
Speaker 1: of feel bad for the boys if that actually happened

1141
01:06:45,560 --> 01:06:50,000
Speaker 1: with their dad sodomizing them. They're like Jesus, I wouldn't

1142
01:06:50,000 --> 01:06:53,480
Speaker 1: blame him blowing his head off either, But you just

1143
01:06:54,880 --> 01:06:58,040
Speaker 1: I guess that's a cool part about sports. There's a

1144
01:06:58,080 --> 01:07:00,680
Speaker 1: lot of unknown in terms of like who really wanted

1145
01:07:00,680 --> 01:07:04,120
Speaker 1: this guy in the draft? Or you know, how many

1146
01:07:04,200 --> 01:07:06,880
Speaker 1: options did this guy actually have in free agency? Or

1147
01:07:08,040 --> 01:07:09,880
Speaker 1: I traded a third round pick for him, could have

1148
01:07:09,920 --> 01:07:12,240
Speaker 1: got him for a fourth. Yeah, we can. But at

1149
01:07:12,240 --> 01:07:15,080
Speaker 1: the end of the day, the games come and we

1150
01:07:15,160 --> 01:07:18,560
Speaker 1: all watch them, and you're either winner you lose it,

1151
01:07:19,400 --> 01:07:21,760
Speaker 1: And there's nothing quite like sports of like you could

1152
01:07:21,760 --> 01:07:23,880
Speaker 1: play well, but if you lose, like yeah, Joe Burrow

1153
01:07:23,920 --> 01:07:26,280
Speaker 1: had a good game and he lost it sucks. And

1154
01:07:26,320 --> 01:07:28,240
Speaker 1: if you're a Bengals fan, like, yeah, Burrow was great,

1155
01:07:28,280 --> 01:07:30,040
Speaker 1: I hope so over paying him fifty million dollars a

1156
01:07:30,080 --> 01:07:33,160
Speaker 1: game or a year, we're rolling three. I mean, we're

1157
01:07:33,200 --> 01:07:37,560
Speaker 1: borderlines screwed here. So now I saw Jamar Chasemith's practice,

1158
01:07:38,680 --> 01:07:42,040
Speaker 1: and it's just one of those things that you know,

1159
01:07:42,120 --> 01:07:44,439
Speaker 1: you could talk about politics too. You're blue in the face.

1160
01:07:44,520 --> 01:07:47,720
Speaker 1: The government, like all these people that just it's like

1161
01:07:48,120 --> 01:07:51,600
Speaker 1: nothing ever changes, the same bullshit. The bureaucracy. It's like

1162
01:07:51,640 --> 01:07:55,920
Speaker 1: that's got to be exhausting at least on Saturdays or

1163
01:07:55,960 --> 01:07:58,280
Speaker 1: Sundays or hell, if you talk high school football, it's

1164
01:07:58,280 --> 01:08:01,360
Speaker 1: like you got a winner and a loser, and you

1165
01:08:01,480 --> 01:08:10,720
Speaker 1: just kind of dive into what happened The volume mhm
