44
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Pa. Underrated city hos in Pittsburgh years it go beautiful,

45

Speaker 1: shockingly nice Pittsburgh, PA. Good skyline. I'm a big skyline guy.

46
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: It's cool because you get the water wrapped around the

47
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: downtown there and all the bridges. Solid city. I got

48
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: people like I'm like friends that live in PISSPA.

49
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 3: They love it.

50
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,079
Speaker 1: They never want to leave. It's not that expensive compared

51
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: to some other big cities anyway. Our lead from the

52
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 1: Monday night football game, the last stop on wild Card weekend,

53
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 1: c J. Stroud leading the Texans traveling party into Western

54
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 1: PA for a matchup with Air Red Rogers and pat Spurgs.

55
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: Hears the winner gets a date with the Patriots in

56
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 1: the divisional round. Did you watch?

57
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 3: No?

58
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: Oh you did? Okay, Well if you didn't, we watched

59
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: so you would not have to. Don't worry. It is

60
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: our good mitzvah of the day. We've done that. So

61
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: Sheldon Rankins, who you know, it's it's a weird night

62
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: of a defensive guys getting the headline. But Sheldon Rankins, well,

63
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: you don't follow defense. He returned a fumble, rumbling and

64
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: stumbling a fumble by Aaron Rodgers thirty three yards to

65
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: pay dirt touchdown early in the fourth quarter to put

66
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: the cherry on top of the dominant defensive Sunday performance.

67
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 1: Although it was on a Monday and the Texans end

68
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 1: up the final score misleading, it looks like they molly

69
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 1: wopped the Pittsburgh Steelers. They did win the game thirty

70
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 1: to six on the wild card rounds, so they have

71
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 1: advanced first ever road win. You always remember your first

72
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 1: first ever road win for the Texans as they get

73
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: her done. The Texans. Now we'll play, as we mentioned

74
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: New England in the Division A round, that game on

75
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:40,600
Speaker 1: Sunday night, Sunday Sunday Sunday. Well, I say Sunday night,

76
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: but it's not as late as it was last week.

77
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: It's just a late game on Sunday, effet. If you're

78
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,480
Speaker 1: on the West coast, it'll be like late afternoon on

79
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:51,679
Speaker 1: the West Coast. But CJ. Strout he turned the football

80
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,280
Speaker 1: over not once, not twice, but three times, and through

81
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:59,919
Speaker 1: a first half touchdown pass as well to Christian Kirk,

82
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: the journeyman wide receiver there who had eight catches for

83
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 1: one hundred and forty four yards. It was such a

84
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: great night. Somebody named Woody Woody Marks. I'm not sure

85
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: who that is, but he had one hundred and twelve

86
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: yards on the ground for the Texans as a Houston

87
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 1: who had been zero to six on the postseason run.

88
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,280
Speaker 1: But they are as a franchise, but they win. The

89
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 1: better story don't come by a weekend. You think we're

90
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:23,919
Speaker 1: gonna say he gonn break down the Texans. No, the

91
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: better story is in the losing locker room. So that

92
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:30,719
Speaker 1: is the conversation about the futures of Mike Tomlin and

93
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. And was this it is this all? She wrote?

94
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 1: Oh my god, melancholy, all these people getting in their fields. Oh,

95
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: I'm so sad. I'm not sad. I'm not said, of course,

96
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 1: I don't have his skin in the game on this.

97
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 1: I am not sad. But let us discuss So the

98
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: let's start with Aaron Rodgers, because I think that's the

99
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,799
Speaker 1: story here. Rodgers has been playing at a high level,

100
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:58,039
Speaker 1: a Hall of Fame career for Aaron Rodgers. And plus

101
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 1: he's just good for talk radio because some people love

102
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: him and other people hate him, and that's good talk radio.

103
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 1: So anyway, Rogers, was this his final dance in the NFL? Well,

104
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: he was asked about that. We have the audio. Let's

105
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 1: go to the audio tape. Here's Aaron Rodgers asked about

106
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 1: whether or not this is.

107
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 5: It is that game affect your decision for what to

108
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 5: do next year in anyway?

109
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 6: No, I mean, I'm not going to make any emotional decisions. Disappointed,

110
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 6: you know, obviously, such a fun year. You know, a

111
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 6: lot of adversity, but a lot of a lot of fun.

112
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,119
Speaker 6: Been a great year, you know, over all my life

113
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,919
Speaker 6: in the last day last year, and this is you know,

114
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 6: a really good part of that coming here and being

115
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 6: a part of this team. So it's disappointing to be

116
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 6: sitting here with season over.

117
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 1: Has anyone ever said, well, we had no adversity, it

118
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 1: was a great year. Wouldn't a great year it be

119
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 1: no adversity, wouldn't I mean, can't you say it about

120
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 1: every year? Like the whole adversity word. I'm annoyed by that.

121
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: Can I don't. I don't have time to get to

122
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: my soapbox right now. I'll be able to do it later.

123
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: But the whole adversity thing, like every season, the adversity

124
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,799
Speaker 1: is something didn't go exactly as plan. Nothing ever goes

125
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:09,160
Speaker 1: exactly his plan. Nothing ever goes exactly, but so every

126
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: year there's adversity, all right, So the key part of that,

127
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: I'm not going to make any emotional decisions. Unemotional decisions

128
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: fun though, when you make emotional decisions, can't they be fun?

129
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 1: They could be fun? Right, You have a lot of

130
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 1: fun doing emotional decisions, oh yeah, and then regret them later.

131
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: But you can have fun while in the wall, all right,

132
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 1: So let us discuss the question. Aaron Rodgers says he

133
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: will not make any decisions on his future retirement until

134
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: he takes some time away. Time away that must be nice.

135
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: Should here's the question? Should Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers retire

136
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 1: from the NFL? So my thoughts on this, I have

137
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: Indonesia YouTube tutorial and chainsaws, and we will combine all

138
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: of these things together and we're gonna make chicken Alfredo

139
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 1: is what we're going to make. Yum yum to my tumtumb.

140
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 1: So he I have an unpopular opinion on this, and

141
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: I wanted to confirm it, so I asked the magic

142
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: eight ball. Went in doubt, pull the magic eight ball out?

143
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 1: So I asked the magic gate ball, should Aaron Rodgers retire?

144
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 1: And then I shook the magic eate ball, and the

145
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 1: magic eight ball said to me, reply, hazy, try again.

146
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 1: So I took the magic gate ball and I shook

147
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 1: the magic gate ball again. I said, come on, come on,

148
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 1: magic eate ball, you've never steered me wrong. And the

149
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 1: magic gate ball said, don't count on it. O m G. Listen.

150
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 1: Aaron could absolutely run away into the woods somewhere and

151
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 1: that's it. You could do it, sure, why not? Here's

152
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: what he ought to do. He got to run off

153
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 1: to those lush jungles of Indonesia and hang out with

154
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: a bunch of his hippie friends and meditate, and then

155
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 1: come back to Austin, Texas and hang out with Joe Rogan,

156
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: smoke a ball, drink some mayahuasca tea Joe and talk

157
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 1: about the UFOs and the deep State and all that

158
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:10,079
Speaker 1: and have a fun time. And then go out and

159
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 1: find a sucker with a checkbook. And should Rogers No,

160
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 1: I don't think you should. I know it's an unpopular opinion.

161
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 1: It's like, this is everyone's doing the eulogies for Aaron

162
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: Rodgers right now, and he should retire. I say no.

163
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 1: And if you're playing in the NFL and you're enjoying it.

164
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 1: You're having a good time, right, And some team's dumb enough,

165
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 1: and there are a lot of dumb people that work

166
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,839
Speaker 1: in that business. If someone's dumb enough to pay you,

167
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 1: why not keep the hustle alive? Why not? If he

168
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: was worried about his legacy, he never would have gone

169
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 1: to the Jets. He's already sullied. Whatever he had, whatever

170
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 1: perfect resume Rogers had from Green Bay. He wore the

171
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 1: Jets uniform. That's like dressing as a clown when you

172
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: wear the Jets uniform. So he's done that, and he

173
00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:00,319
Speaker 1: was pretty in Pittsburgh. Some of the numbers were good,

174
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 1: a lot of the numbers were not that good. But

175
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,199
Speaker 1: keep going. It's a get richer scheme, not a get

176
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 1: rich scheme, because Rogers is already rich. But it's a

177
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 1: get richer scheme for Aaron Rodgers, and he knows the

178
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:18,119
Speaker 1: menu by hard. And let's be honest here. That performance

179
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: against the Texans that we saw on the Monday night,

180
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 1: and that was hazardous waist is what that was. It was.

181
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: It was terrible. I mean, they were bad for three

182
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: quarters and then Rogers like, hold my beer, I'm gonna

183
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 1: take this thing to the next level here, and he

184
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 1: showed up to the boat show Rogers. He got the

185
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,319
Speaker 1: suck boat and he rowed that thing to Misery Island.

186
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 1: And the great thing is Rogers was behind the steering wheel.

187
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 1: He captained that thing by himself and sailed straight in

188
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 1: to DMZ dead Man's zone, dead Man's zone, and Rogers

189
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: was behind the wheel there on the boat. He looked slow,

190
00:10:55,480 --> 00:11:00,200
Speaker 1: Yes he did. Was he plodding along? Absolutely plodding along,

191
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,199
Speaker 1: No question about it. Some would say even atomic waste

192
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: Russias would fall into that. Nevertheless, this is the same

193
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 1: business that dialed up Philip Rivers in his mid forties

194
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 1: while hunting somewhere in the backwoods of Alabama, and said, Hey,

195
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 1: how would you like to play quarterback for the Colts.

196
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,680
Speaker 1: So if they're doing that, and you look at some

197
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 1: of the turds that started games this year for the NFL,

198
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 1: somebody named Brady Cook, I'd rather have a line Cook

199
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 1: from Applebee's start than Brady Cook who started for the Jets.

200
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 1: So Brady Cook, Kenny Pickett who can't play, Marcus Mariota

201
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 1: who shouldn't be playing, And it's just a island of

202
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 1: misfit toys in the NFL playing quarterback, So Rogers could

203
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 1: absolutely bamboozle one more season. Why not go out to Vegas?

204
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 1: Tom Brady doesn't know what he's doing. No one wants

205
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 1: to talk about that because it's tamboo, because it's Tom Brady.

206
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 1: But he's terrible at his job. So I can see

207
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,719
Speaker 1: Tom Brady say, oh, sign Aaron Rodgers is a bridge quarterback.

208
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 1: The Raiders are going to draft a quarterback with a

209
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 1: top pick, and they'll bring Rogers in for one year

210
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 1: and then he can have a Vegas residency. Why not?

211
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 1: Who says no to that? Or go out to Arizona.

212
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,200
Speaker 1: They don't know what they're doing there. Great place to

213
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 1: retire Arizona and hang out. It's a retirement community with goalposts.

214
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 1: Have a great time. And plus he's married. Now, wink wig,

215
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 1: he's married. I'm surprised I didn't get any of those

216
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 1: cheesy sideline reports about Aaron Rodgers' wife struggling as he

217
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 1: tries to decide whether he's going to keep playing or not. Yeah,

218
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:34,080
Speaker 1: his mystery wife, Brittany. So I had an epiphany while

219
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:37,319
Speaker 1: I was making the trip in from far far away,

220
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 1: and I'm thinking, is there a chance that Brittany is

221
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 1: a tree. Is it possible that Aaron Rodgers named a

222
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 1: tree Brittany, a giant sequoia tree, and he married the

223
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 1: tree name Brittany, and the tree can't go to Packer games,

224
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 1: or in this case, Steeler games can't go to Malibu

225
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 1: because it's a tree. In order for that to happen,

226
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: you'd have to kill Britney the tree and shop Britney

227
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,959
Speaker 1: the tree down and take Britney the tree to your home.

228
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 1: So right, hey, prove me wrong?

229
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:15,200
Speaker 4: All right?

230
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,319
Speaker 1: Now past true? So turning the pitch here, let's get

231
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,680
Speaker 1: to the Mike Tomlin story. Mike Tomlin was asked about

232
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:23,680
Speaker 1: his future. He tap danced around that. He was also

233
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 1: asked about his message to the fans. His message of

234
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 1: the fans is what Tomlin had to say regarding these

235
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:34,840
Speaker 1: Steelers embarrassment in the game on Monday night.

236
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 4: Again, when you don't get it done, words are cheap.

237
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:41,440
Speaker 4: It's about what you do or you don't do. And

238
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 4: so I appreciate the question. But people talk too much

239
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 4: in our business, either, do you don't.

240
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 1: I think we prove on a nightly basis that words

241
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 1: are cheap, and we also talk too much. I believe

242
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 1: both those things are factually true. Anyway, the question is

243
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 1: do the Steelers get out of the Mike Tomlin business?

244
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,680
Speaker 1: Was this it for Mike Tomlin? Is that all he wrote?

245
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 1: Is that it? So there's a lot of people right

246
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:13,079
Speaker 1: now engagement farming. It's a business you can make some

247
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 1: money in, you know, screaming Tomlin's out, This is it.

248
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 1: He's done. Fire Tomlin. You know, shop, go out and

249
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 1: shop for the mystery box. It's like on a game show,

250
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 1: do you want door number one, door number two, door

251
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 1: number three? Every every door has a clown behind it,

252
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 1: So do you want to hire a clown? Well, come in,

253
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 1: it's the it's the circus. Yeah. So Mike Tomlin, last

254
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 1: I checked, is a known commodity. He's a touchstone in

255
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 1: the coaching world. He's been dependable and reliable. And think

256
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 1: of it like this. You have to have an operation.

257
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin is a surgeon. He's a surgeon that has

258
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 1: study hands. Your other options are some guy that watched

259
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 1: a YouTube tutorial and has a rusty scalpel. Are you

260
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 1: going to pick the depend surgeon? Are you going to

261
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 1: pick the rusty scalpel scalpel guy that has really good YouTube.

262
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: What are you gonna pick? So? And now some others

263
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 1: want to you know, they want to lie down on

264
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 1: the operating table. They're the ones that say, oh yeah,

265
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: just cut me open. It's insanity. And like, listen, I've

266
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 1: fired Tomlin multiple times over the years, but at this point,

267
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 1: I'm like looking at the field, looking at the card.

268
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 1: I wouldn't get rid of Tomlin. That would be insanity,

269
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 1: absolutely insanity. He's never had a losing season. The fact

270
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 1: that that team, the way they played in the Money

271
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 1: Night game, was able to win as many games as

272
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 1: they did ten wins during the regular season, as a

273
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 1: testimonial to good coaching. That's coaching guys up. That roster

274
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 1: is not very good, and Tomlin coached that team up.

275
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 1: That's what you're looking for. You looking for a guy

276
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 1: that coaches players up, and Tomlin appears to be able

277
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 1: to do that still. And so you look at the

278
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 1: the years he's been there, in the success of making

279
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 1: the playoffs and all that stuff. That's institutional excellence is

280
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 1: what it is here. It's big mac level of consistency.

281
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 1: Like you go to eat a big man in any

282
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 1: part of the world, that's going to taste pretty much

283
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 1: the same because that's the consistency of the Golden Arches. Well,

284
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin's teams during the regular season always win nine,

285
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 1: ten eleven games, even when they have washed up players,

286
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 1: they still find a way to get that done. So, yeah, dude,

287
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 1: the Steelers want to go out and do coaching roulette.

288
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 1: Why would you want to do that? Why why would

289
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 1: you want that? You don't need to you don't need

290
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 1: to spin the wheel and all that stuff. And you've

291
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 1: got a reliable option. Now, the malarods are not zero

292
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 1: that Tomlin's out. The malarods are. I crunch the numbers here.

293
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 1: It's a two fifty. It's a two, which it's like

294
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 1: a two fifty hitter twenty five percent. Two fifty hitter

295
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 1: is the is the number you don't designate for assignment

296
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 1: A two fifty hitter, especially when your farm system is

297
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 1: full of scarecrows. You don't worry about that. And again

298
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 1: I go back to the whole mystery prize thing and

299
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: all that stuff. It's like Tomlin is fifty three in

300
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 1: that profession. When you're a coach, you're not that old.

301
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 1: He could go another fifteen years, another fifteen years as

302
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 1: a coach. He's still got the fire in his belly.

303
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:14,399
Speaker 1: And if you're Tomlin, why would you leave? You can

304
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 1: go do TV and replace herb Street or Tony Romo

305
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 1: and make a lot of money for a couple of years,

306
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:21,119
Speaker 1: but eventually you're gonna still want to come back and coach.

307
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 1: The only one that's really never done that has been

308
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 1: Bill Kawer, and he continues to haunt us on television

309
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 1: week after week with boring TV. But Tomlin think he'd

310
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 1: be good. You never know, though. I always thought Tony

311
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 1: Sarah Goose of the late Tony Sarah Gouosu would be

312
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 1: amazing on television. He sucked, but nice guy, just bad

313
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 1: on TV. All right, our last thing to the Houston

314
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:43,879
Speaker 1: side of things, quick, right, all right, to the Houston

315
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 1: side of things. So everyone's all excited now the Texans

316
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 1: are going to go win the Super Bowl because they

317
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 1: blew out the Pittsburgh Steelers in Monday night. Is that

318
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:51,679
Speaker 1: how that works?

319
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:51,959
Speaker 5: Well?

320
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:56,879
Speaker 1: Of course not, of course not. I'm not getting worked

321
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 1: up into a lather by the final score of this game,

322
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:03,160
Speaker 1: because I saw the game. It was seven to six

323
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:07,200
Speaker 1: going to the fourth quarter, so one point game, A

324
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:11,680
Speaker 1: one point game. Going to the fourth quarter. The Steelers

325
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 1: then imploded and Aaron Rodgers decided he was done there

326
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:19,119
Speaker 1: and that was it. But the bigger issue to me

327
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 1: going forward for the Texans is they get ready for

328
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:25,440
Speaker 1: the Patriots next week? Is the quarterback play in Houston?

329
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 1: So the question was c. J. Stroud a liability or

330
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 1: an asset for the Texans? Considering they won in a blowout.

331
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 1: Most who didn't pay attention would say, well, he was clearly,

332
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 1: clearly an asset. He wasn't a liability. What are you

333
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:44,639
Speaker 1: talking about. Well, the scales of football justice, the scales

334
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 1: of football justice tilting towards dead weight dead weight, and

335
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:55,919
Speaker 1: that was not quarterback greatness obviously, was it. I mean,

336
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 1: nobody was saying that he played great. But this was

337
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:04,119
Speaker 1: like walking in walking through the ocean, or walking swimming

338
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:06,919
Speaker 1: through the ocean, and you drop an anchor somewhere out

339
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:11,119
Speaker 1: in the middle of the golf there and you drag

340
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:14,879
Speaker 1: the yacht down into the bottom. I guess we'll go

341
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 1: Galvinston Bay because it's close to Houston. Whatever. So, but

342
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:22,399
Speaker 1: when your defense is that good and the defense is

343
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:24,879
Speaker 1: getting embellished because of the final score, when your defense

344
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,920
Speaker 1: is that good, all you have to do is drive

345
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 1: the bus and don't crash it into the waffle house.

346
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:37,880
Speaker 1: And instead CJ. Stroud's out there juggling chainsauce, juggling chainsaws

347
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 1: for much of this game. He had five fumbles. The

348
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 1: Texas won in a blowout and ce J. Stroud had

349
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 1: five fumbles, he lost two of them, he threw an interception,

350
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,639
Speaker 1: He did all of that. He did everything he could

351
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:55,399
Speaker 1: to lose the game. And the Steelers are so bad.

352
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers said no, no, no, let us go Chernobyle.

353
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 1: So we'll go Chernoble there and they did two defensive

354
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 1: touchdowns by the Texans, one of them just a gift

355
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 1: by Aaron Rodgers. And so it was a coin flip

356
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 1: going to the fourth quarter, which should give the Patriots

357
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 1: some optimism going forward. Here. CJ. Stroud was a live

358
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:23,439
Speaker 1: grenade in this game. The pin was half pulled on

359
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 1: the live grenade. The Texans defense had to grab it

360
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:31,160
Speaker 1: and throw it out the window before it went tob boom.

361
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:35,639
Speaker 1: And the Texans won in spite of their quarterback. And

362
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:37,680
Speaker 1: I've seen a lot of this with CJ. Stroud in

363
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 1: the playoffs, where he hasn't looked all that good and

364
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:42,639
Speaker 1: He's another one of these younger quarterbacks that just doesn't

365
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 1: seem to have it in the playoffs, it would appear.

Speaker 1: has legs here and we'll go to La La Land

409
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 1: post mortem on the playoff dud heard around the pigskin world,

410
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 1: around the pigskin world, Justin Herbert, who twisted himself into

411
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 1: a soft pretzel in that loss to the Patriots in

412
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:52,880
Speaker 1: the game on Sunday night. Now, if you've not heard

413
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 1: the latest on this, it's quite good. It's quite entertaining.

414
00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 1: So after being bashed for the flop roo, the whoopsie

415
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 1: whoop see performance, there there was a groundswell of support

416
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 1: saying it's not fair, it's not fair to put it

417
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:16,440
Speaker 1: all on Justin Herbert. In fact, he really didn't play

418
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 1: that bad. Some have said the jocksniffers riding in like

419
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 1: knights and shining armors and saving overrated quarterback in distress,

420
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 1: and the offensive line failed Justin Herbert. That's the most

421
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:33,880
Speaker 1: popular one. That's the most popular. Well, it's the offensive

422
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 1: line's fault, dummy. No quarterback could have had success against

423
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 1: the New England defense running for their lives lives, all right.

424
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 1: So now that is a good jumping off point. Let

425
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 1: us discuss the question. Does Justin Herbert get a playoff

426
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:55,680
Speaker 1: pardon for that stink bomb because of the Chargers offensive line.

427
00:24:56,680 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 1: So I've got mythbuster's house cat and jumbo sized, and

428
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:07,959
Speaker 1: we will combine all of these things together, and we

429
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 1: are going to connect this like ABC and one two three,

430
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 1: and we'll lock it all together. So number one, number one,

431
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 1: number one number alright. So the Justin Herbert fanboys, I

432
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 1: love bearying fanboys. So the Justin Herbert fanboys are writing

433
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 1: the excuse caboose chub, Yeah, the excuse caboose, and they're

434
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 1: yelling bad offensive line, Blame the fat people. It's the

435
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 1: fatti's fault. Blame the fat people. That's what they're yelling,

436
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 1: all right. So that's that's their move, that's their move,

437
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:52,919
Speaker 1: blame the offensive line. Meanwhile, Justin Herbert standing back there

438
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:57,680
Speaker 1: getting a shoulder massage and seeing ghosts in the pocket

439
00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 1: against the New Zeland Patriots. Now, the numbers don't lie.

440
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:03,479
Speaker 1: The numbers don't lie, and they don't look good for

441
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert. He committed football malpractice on national television. So

442
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 1: I would like to play MythBusters. I used to watch

443
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 1: that show. I don't think is it not anymore? I

444
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:15,440
Speaker 1: don't think it's not anymore. But this should call myth Buck MythBusters,

445
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 1: and I liked it. I thought it was a good show.

446
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 1: So we will now using the myth Buck myth Busters mythology.

447
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 1: If I could talk that the myth Busters mythology, we

448
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:30,120
Speaker 1: are going to harpoon popular opinion. What is the popular

449
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:33,719
Speaker 1: opinion blaming the offensive line? That is the popular opinion,

450
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:36,719
Speaker 1: So the eyeballs. I was watching the game, it was like, well,

451
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,120
Speaker 1: it's not the offensive line's fault, not in that game,

452
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:44,360
Speaker 1: not the offensive line's fault. And the numbers back that up.

453
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:47,959
Speaker 1: The numbers don't lie, not in this case. They don't lie.

454
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 1: The numbers tell you what happens. So is it true

455
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:56,119
Speaker 1: MythBusters style? Is it true that Justin Herbert's average time

456
00:26:56,160 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 1: to throw average time to throw versus the Patriots was

457
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 1: three point four to three seconds, according to the nerds

458
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:09,119
Speaker 1: at Pro Football Focus. Is it also true that that

459
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 1: is the highest number of seconds available to Justin Herbert

460
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:18,920
Speaker 1: in his entire career. Is that also true? Yeah, not

461
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 1: in my head. I'm not in my head. Yes. So

462
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 1: he had more time in this game than he's ever

463
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:29,680
Speaker 1: had in his entire career, and he literally urinated down

464
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:33,119
Speaker 1: his leg and people, this is how great it is

465
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 1: when you're an athlete. The fanboys, the jock sniffers and

466
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 1: all that, they got their knee pads out. Faults thoughts, fault,

467
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:42,680
Speaker 1: Well it was his fault. No, it's not his fault.

468
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 1: It was wild. It was wild. So again, it turns

469
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:52,440
Speaker 1: out that the charges offensive line, that ragtag offensive line,

470
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 1: much maligned, gave Justin Herbert a king size mattress and

471
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:00,119
Speaker 1: a mint, one of those little mints on the pill. Hello,

472
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:04,920
Speaker 1: and he still woke up screaming and he was having

473
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:11,199
Speaker 1: night tremors. Justin Herbert embarrassing, new level of embarrassment. But

474
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 1: this is a liberty valance situation. When the legend becomes

475
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 1: the fact, you go with the legends. The legend is

476
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert's good offensive line is bad. So that's the legend,

477
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:24,920
Speaker 1: even though that's not what happened in this game. The

478
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,359
Speaker 1: man who shot liberty valence takes over. When the legend

479
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:28,919
Speaker 1: becomes the fact, you go with the legend. So this

480
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:33,359
Speaker 1: is the legend. Most of this game, Justin Herbert had

481
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:36,879
Speaker 1: plenty of time. He just stood there like he was

482
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 1: waiting for a bus, and the bus never showed up,

483
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 1: and like, what the hell, where's the bus? And it

484
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 1: wasn't some kind of Mike Rabel wizardry that took place here.

485
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 1: It was just Justin Herbert's self sabotaging the Charges offense

486
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 1: in this game, and the Patriots they didn't do anything exotic,

487
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 1: and Herbert still got short circuited in this game. The

488
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 1: internal wiring is messed up. You gotta futs around with

489
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 1: the wires and all that. From the one to eleven

490
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:09,320
Speaker 1: mark of the second quarter to the five to thirty

491
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 1: nine mark of the fourth quarter. So the pretty much

492
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 1: all of the second quarter except for a minute and eleven,

493
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 1: and then the entire third quarter and a good chunk

494
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:23,959
Speaker 1: of the fourth quarter, the Chargers offense with Justin Herbert

495
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 1: did not record a single passing yard. That's twenty five

496
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 1: minutes and thirty two seconds of game time with no

497
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 1: passing yards. And that's your two hundred and sixty two

498
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 1: million dollar quarterback. Now, based on the postseason play the

499
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 1: resume of Justin Herbert. You are judged by the body

500
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:46,440
Speaker 1: of your work. Justin Herbert does not have that dog

501
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 1: get him or no, no, no, And we mentioned this.

502
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 1: He's more of a dog with fleas if anything. Here scratching,

503
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 1: nervous and running in circus. Now, the evidence is in

504
00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 1: the three playoff games. Each one has been a different

505
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 1: kind of suck. You know how those like different flavors

506
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 1: of suck. Well, the first playoff game, Justin Herbert blew

507
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 1: a twenty seven nothing lead to Jacksonville. And that lead

508
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 1: was not because of Justin Herbert. That lead was because

509
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 1: of the incompetence of Trevor Lawrence. But still Herbert did

510
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 1: nothing in the second half and as the reason the

511
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 1: Chargers lost that game. Then threw four interceptions, four of

512
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 1: them in a playoff loss to the Texans, and now

513
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 1: puts up three points, three lonely points against the New

514
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 1: England Patriots, heartburn City for the Chargers and their fans.

515
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 1: They bet on the wrong horse, and that's it. Justin

516
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 1: Herbert's gonna be indicted based on this performance. Now, page two,

517
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 1: continuing the theme of the hour at least at the

518
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 1: beginning here. So question now is what should Jim Harbaugh

519
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:57,960
Speaker 1: and the Chargers do with Justin Herbert? They know that

520
00:30:58,040 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 1: he's not the man. You can't be the man when

521
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 1: you're not the man, and he's not the man, So

522
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 1: what do you do with him? So I have an

523
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:07,720
Speaker 1: unhinged thought I would like to share with the class,

524
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna workshop this right now. Here's my move.

525
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 1: If I'm the Chargers and I activate the Mather think take.

526
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 1: If I'm the Chargers, what I do is I make

527
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 1: a There used to be the things called long distant

528
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 1: phone calls. So I make a phone call to the

529
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 1: state of Ohio and I call Cincinnati, and I say, listen,

530
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 1: let's make a deal. You got a problem at quarterback.

531
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 1: We got a problem at quarterback. Let's do it Justin

532
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 1: Herbert for Joe Burrow, who says, no, Herbert can go

533
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:43,240
Speaker 1: and get all you can eat Skyline chili and stare

534
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:46,720
Speaker 1: lonely at the Ohio River. And Joe Burrow gets to

535
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 1: go out to la and live in the hood in

536
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 1: Inglewood and get some sunscreen there and get a surfboard

537
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 1: and go Cowabunger dude, and all that and Joe Burrow,

538
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 1: who famously dragged a cardboard box offensive line to the

539
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 1: AFC championship in the Super Bowl a few years ago,

540
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 1: losing to the LA Rams, a better team in that game.

541
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 1: But Justin Herbert, he needs a silk pillow and a

542
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 1: lullaby if anything goes wrong. It's a It's a bit

543
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 1: like Jim Harbaugh did not come back to the NFL

544
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:25,720
Speaker 1: and picked the Charger job to coach Garfield the cat

545
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 1: he did. He came back. He wants to hunt down

546
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:31,720
Speaker 1: the Tigers and the Lions and all and winning Lombardy.

547
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 1: Suppose he win a Lombard. And right now, right now

548
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, Justin Herbert looks like a declaude house cat,

549
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 1: not exactly a Tiger, a declaude house cat. And it's

550
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 1: just stuck outside and it's raining, and just a big message.

551
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:53,480
Speaker 1: And Jim Harbaugh has had two years now, two years

552
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 1: to work with Justin Herbert and to unlock Justin Herbert

553
00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 1: and to fix him. And Herbert is measurably worse now

554
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 1: in playoff games than he was before Jim Harbaugh got there.

555
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 1: So go full Ninja. My advice the Malard think tank,

556
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:11,479
Speaker 1: You go full ninja, get a burner, phone back alley

557
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 1: if you have to trench coat in the rain, the

558
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 1: whole thing. Call Cincinnati, go to a speak easy if

559
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 1: you have to dial up the Bengals first, and just say,

560
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 1: let's get this thing done. Justin Herbert for Joe Burrow,

561
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 1: old fashioned football trade, no crypto, no emojis. That's it.

562
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 1: And we know Burrow has been pouting. He wants to

563
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 1: be happy. He wasn't happy in Cincinnati. Was bitching about that.

564
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 1: The guy you know, richer than rich, he's complaining. And

565
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 1: Herbert is just completely discombobulated with the Chargers in these

566
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 1: playoff games. And he's just just a mess all right now.

567
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 1: Final point to the playoff injury tent. Injury update, injury

568
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:59,959
Speaker 1: update the Rams head coach Sean McVay. Do you see this,

569
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:05,600
Speaker 1: So Sean McVay revealed that quarterback Matthew Stafford is out

570
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 1: for the playoffs. No, that's a lie. No, Stafford is

571
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 1: good to go. Those are the words, good to go.

572
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:16,319
Speaker 1: And the will play in the divisional round of the

573
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:22,879
Speaker 1: playoffs in Chicago after suffering a sprained index finger, and

574
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:26,520
Speaker 1: he looked fine on that heroic final drive, which everyone

575
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:30,760
Speaker 1: impressed the most impressive drive of the NFL playoffs, Matthew Stafford,

576
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 1: with the season on the line, matriculating the ball down

577
00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 1: the field and get it done. So the question on

578
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 1: this one on the scale of believability. On the scale

579
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 1: of believability, how confident are you in the mangold finger

580
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 1: of rams quarterback Matthew Stafford. So on the Malor scale

581
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 1: of confidence, the Mallor scale of compass one to ten

582
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:04,719
Speaker 1: with ten b gear on teet gear on teet. All right,

583
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 1: so Matthew Stafford busted index finger. I am at a six.

584
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:17,279
Speaker 1: So it's not pristine, it's not terminal. It's kind of

585
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:20,799
Speaker 1: like sometimes you're driving down the highway and a rock

586
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 1: or something will hit your windshield. There's a little crack

587
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 1: in your windshield. Well, you keep driving the car because

588
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:30,480
Speaker 1: it's a little crack, and you drive it. And then

589
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:33,200
Speaker 1: every time you hit a bomb or something else flies

590
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:35,000
Speaker 1: up in the road or you flinch a little bit

591
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:36,920
Speaker 1: and you're like, well, I hope that doesn't break it more.

592
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:41,879
Speaker 1: Sean McVay saying, good to go, GTG. Good to go.

593
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 1: That is football's version of just put some glue on it,

594
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 1: rub some dirt on it, and we're good to go,

595
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 1: and it holds until it doesn't, until it doesn't. So

596
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:56,759
Speaker 1: this is a sneaky good situation for Matthew Stafford. And

597
00:35:56,840 --> 00:36:00,960
Speaker 1: let me tell you why that's sprained index finger. I

598
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 1: guarantee you will be highlighted on the TV broadcast this weekend.

599
00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:12,480
Speaker 1: And it is a jumboo jumbo sized monopoly get out

600
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:16,680
Speaker 1: of jail free card. Let me tell you why. If

601
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:21,320
Speaker 1: Stafford goes out into Chicago and turns Lake Michigan into

602
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:26,759
Speaker 1: a vomit repository, just a big lake of vomit, then

603
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:31,120
Speaker 1: he just flashes his finger. Postgame, he just holds the

604
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:34,719
Speaker 1: finger up literally and says, hey, it was injured. That

605
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:38,640
Speaker 1: is the golden parachute. It is. It just shrug a

606
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:41,279
Speaker 1: little bit and you say, hey, let me point to

607
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 1: my booboo. Here's my boo boo, and there you go. Now,

608
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:47,719
Speaker 1: back in August, if you've been listening to the show,

609
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 1: you know that we did many a mall of monologue

610
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:56,319
Speaker 1: about Matthew Stafford's messed up back and the weird exotic

611
00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:59,680
Speaker 1: treatments that Stafford was getting. He wasn't practicing with the

612
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:03,920
Speaker 1: ram we were doing endless Mallard monologues that sounded a

613
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:08,239
Speaker 1: lot like obituaries. And we were giving eulogies to Matthew Stafford.

614
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:11,880
Speaker 1: We were polishing up Jimmy Garoppolo's nameplate, getting ready for

615
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:15,080
Speaker 1: him to play quarterback. And then Stafford clearly was hanging

616
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:18,319
Speaker 1: out with Ponstevion and he's about to win the most

617
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:21,719
Speaker 1: Valuable Player award in the NFL. And the Bears fans

618
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:24,000
Speaker 1: now they're convinced that Stafford's going to turn into a

619
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:29,320
Speaker 1: Nestley's drumstick in the cold weather there in Chicago. Of course,

620
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 1: well that's possible. Remember that Caleb Williams not exactly a

621
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:36,759
Speaker 1: macho macho man. He did also spend a couple of

622
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:41,480
Speaker 1: years in SoCal at usc and Williams the nail polish

623
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 1: that he wears could conceivably freeze at Soldier Field. I

624
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 1: know Trees worried about that. And then if his nail

625
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:51,359
Speaker 1: polish freezes, then he's going to start fumbling, and that's

626
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:54,279
Speaker 1: a problem. And listen, the Rams going into this game

627
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:58,120
Speaker 1: have a better coach, they have better receivers, they have

628
00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:02,800
Speaker 1: a better quarterback, they have more talent on both sides

629
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:05,560
Speaker 1: of the ball, and I don't really know about big

630
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:08,319
Speaker 1: game DNA. I don't really pay attention to that stuff

631
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 1: because that doesn't really matter. However, Matthew Stafford's finger well,

632
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:16,839
Speaker 1: wobble wobble wobble. It might wobble wobble wobble. The team

633
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 1: should still be able to win the game? Is are

634
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:20,080
Speaker 1: they going to cover the squab? But they are favored.

635
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:22,360
Speaker 1: The reason they're favorites because they're the better team. The

636
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 1: better team is favorite. The Rams are the better team

637
00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:28,680
Speaker 1: according to the oddsmakers in Vegas, not the Chicago Bears.

638
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller

640
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:36,920
Speaker 1: It's mallar, how about that?

641
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:38,840
Speaker 2: To the third degree?

642
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:43,919
Speaker 1: This is one big Ben gets grill who doll loop.

643
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 5: Mike McDaniel is out in Miami, but he already has

644
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:50,640
Speaker 5: a number of interviews lined up, including Cleveland, Baltimore, and Atlanta.

645
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:53,560
Speaker 3: Do you think he'll actually land another head coaching job.

646
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:58,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's not enough candidates, and from what I understand it,

647
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 1: he's very loquacious. So it's amusing because he sounds terrible

648
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:04,080
Speaker 1: when he talks to the media. However, he's a bit

649
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:08,480
Speaker 1: of a schmoozer. He's likable in person, he's got a

650
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:12,640
Speaker 1: magnetic personality and that all that stuff. And he did

651
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 1: work in Cleveland as an assistant coach years ago, So

652
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:18,560
Speaker 1: there is a connection with the Browns. So I'm gonna

653
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:20,480
Speaker 1: say the Browns are the job that he's gonna be.

654
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 1: I can't imagine the Ravens are gonna hire him, or

655
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:25,480
Speaker 1: even Atlanta, but the Browns I can see that.

656
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:28,759
Speaker 5: Next, speaking of the coaching carousel, there are a number

657
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:31,799
Speaker 5: of current coordinators set to interview for the big chair.

658
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:33,920
Speaker 5: Are there any that you think are a lock to

659
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:34,919
Speaker 5: get a head coach in the job?

660
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:38,440
Speaker 1: So, first of all, just based on watching NFL games

661
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 1: and seeing how much the broadcasters slobber all over certain

662
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 1: assistant coaches, Robert Salah. Every time I watch a forty

663
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:48,640
Speaker 1: nine er game, you'd think Robert sala cured cancer the

664
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:50,960
Speaker 1: way he's talked about on these broadcasts. And if you

665
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:52,400
Speaker 1: were watching the I don't know if you saw the

666
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:55,279
Speaker 1: game with the Steelers coup on Monday night, but Troy

667
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:58,200
Speaker 1: Aikman and Joe Buck were ball washing Nick Kayley, the

668
00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:02,239
Speaker 1: Texans offensive coordinator, in the first half, which seemed very

669
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 1: odd to me. Because the Texans offense doesn't seem that good,

670
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:06,279
Speaker 1: but they kept talking about him, all right.

671
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:08,520
Speaker 5: Next, the number two ranked wide receiver in the transfer

672
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 5: portal is cam Coleman, and on Sunday he committed to

673
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 5: the Texas Longhorns. Do you think his presence will help

674
00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:16,640
Speaker 5: arch Manning get back into the projected number one draft pick?

675
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:19,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, it doesn't matter. As long as arch Manning plays

676
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:22,279
Speaker 1: pretty well, he'll be the number one thing because of

677
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:24,880
Speaker 1: his name? Cool, it does, It's all that matters.

678
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:25,600
Speaker 2: How did we go?

679
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:26,560
Speaker 3: You passed a session?

00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:24,600
Speaker 2: different kind of plug.
