00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 3: let it anybody know a little bit about you. I mean,

25
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 3: Jason Fitz, you know, certainly a household name in the

26
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 3: world of sports, but a little bit of background. You know,

27
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 3: what sports did you play? You know, let's hear a

28
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 3: little bit about Jason Fitz.

29
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,040
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, look, for anyone that doesn't know, I

30
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: am that guy. Like I'm a diehard, lifelong Raiders fan.

31
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: So I'm having a good morning by the way, and yeah,

32
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 1: everything's good here, but yeah, lifelong diehard Raiders fan, but

33
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 1: didn't really play a lot of sports growing up because

34
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,400
Speaker 1: I grew up a music kid. So I'm like the weirdest.

35
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 1: You know. Everybody asked how you get to sports, and

36
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 1: the answers you go to Juilliard, Like I was a

37
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 1: music kid that grew up in that world. And for

38
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: anyone that doesn't know, I toured for years in country music,

39
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 1: most famously with the band Perry and won a bunch

40
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 1: of Grammys and have a bunch of golden platinum records

41
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: on my wall and was lucky to have an incredible

42
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: music career. And while I was out on the road

43
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: in music, I started a podcast because what I really

44
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: love was sports, and that was about a decade ago,

45
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: and I was able to grow that into a career.

46
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: That took me to ESPN for a long time. And

47
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: now I'm here in Yahoo Sports and love and every

48
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: second of it. That's like thirty second version of a

49
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 1: weird long story.

50
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 2: I love it.

51
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 3: So basically, I'm with the superstar like I always had.

52
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 3: Buckiet Brooks is gone and now another superstar comes and

53
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 3: it's okay. I'm always like at the bottom of the barrel.

54
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 3: You know, I'm the schmuck from Brooklyn who played two

55
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,239
Speaker 3: in touch in the streets and stickball in the backyard.

56
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 3: That's what I did, okay. And of course in high

57
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 3: school I got a letter because I was manager of

58
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 3: the basketball team.

59
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 2: That's what I did.

60
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 3: You know, I love sports, what can I tell you?

61
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,799
Speaker 3: You know, after the games, everybody was outside partying, going

62
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 3: to Jans. It was Jans was the place on eighty

63
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 3: sixth Street and bench Nursed in Brooklyn would have ice

64
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,679
Speaker 3: cream sodas and they did that after the games with

65
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 3: the cheerleaders. And what was I doing. I was making

66
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 3: phone calls the twelve newspapers with box scores, telling them

67
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 3: the scores of the game. That was my life. Okay,

68
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 3: so what can I tell you? All Right, but we're

69
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 3: here good.

70
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: I love every second. By the way of that, I

71
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: just have to tell you that you were out there

72
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: checking box scores. I was a kid that in Vegas,

73
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 1: grew up in Vegas as a little kid, grew up

74
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: a diehard Raiders fan. And every Sunday, my dad's rule

75
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:55,639
Speaker 1: was he didn't want to listen to the violin, like,

76
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 1: because I practiced eight hours today every day my entire childhood.

77
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 1: But we didn't do that on Sundays. We sat down together,

78
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 1: we watched then La Raiders as a kid, watched them together,

79
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: and we stayed up and we waited until George Michael

80
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,639
Speaker 1: Sports Machine came on and gave me the highlights, right like, so, yeah,

81
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 1: it's funny you went you mentioned the box sports scores.

82
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: For me, it was USA Today to get the preview

83
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: and the recap on Monday, and it was watching George

84
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 1: Michael at the end of the week to get all

85
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: my Raiders news because that was the only way you

86
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: could do it back then. Because I'm old, no.

87
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 3: So am I did?

88
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 2: We move on?

89
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:23,959
Speaker 3: But you know what, there's nothing wrong with being only

90
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 3: because you have more experience. You know, what you tell

91
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,519
Speaker 3: the young whipper snappers, Hey, it should be done this way.

92
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 3: This is the way you do things. Okay, So we

93
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 3: move along, you know, and look, you talk about people

94
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 3: that telling people how to get it done. I want

95
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 3: to talk about this Colorado game against USC you know,

96
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 3: to me, yeah, it's no big whoopye that they lost.

97
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 3: You know, Deon loses forty eight forty one. It's the

98
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 3: hell of a game. They came back, they storm back.

99
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 3: It's not about the wins or losses. I don't think.

100
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 3: Maybe I'm way off base here as far as Colorado's concerned,

101
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 3: this team that won one game a year ago. But

102
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 3: what Deon Sanders has brought to the table, He's brought

103
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 3: eyeballs to college football. People care, They love it, you know,

104
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 3: love them more. Hey, they think he's a blowhard or not,

105
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 3: whatever it may be. They are following college football, and

106
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 3: in particular Colorado University.

107
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: I mean, this is what you need if you're college

108
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: for see, because what we forget sometimes is that the

109
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: diehards will follow anything anywhere, and no matter what sport

110
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,039
Speaker 1: we're talking about, the diehards will always be there. So

111
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: when you're marketing your sport, when you're trying to figure

112
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 1: out how to grow your sport, you've got to have

113
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 1: a mindset on how do you get the casuals to

114
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: come in. And you can see it from the numbers

115
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,280
Speaker 1: that this has become a sensation and the fact that

116
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: Colorado was even able to make that a competitive game.

117
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: I mean, the reality of it is, when networks are

118
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 1: programming what to talk about, when you're looking at content

119
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 1: to make, Colorado is now at or near the top

120
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: of the list for all of the networks on what

121
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 1: to do with college football because people are tuning in.

122
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: And the fact is, when you have a sensation, you

123
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: can't know that you hadn't until you're sitting there living it.

124
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 1: It's exactly what's happening for Colorado. So I think it's

125
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: huge for the sport. Also, I think he's giving college

126
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:57,840
Speaker 1: football a different looking approach because it's not just about

127
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 1: the transfer portal. It's about the way he gives athletes identity,

128
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: and it's a way he brings in celebrity. He's bringing

129
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: a different approach. If part of the reason college football

130
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 1: fell in love with Dablos Sweeney, for example, at one

131
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 1: point is it felt like a different approach than Saban. Well,

132
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 1: now you've got Saban, You've got dabbling in this bucket

133
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 1: over here, You've got a guy that says, hey, I'm

134
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 1: gonna bring in the most famous people in the world.

135
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 1: The sideline's gonna be hopping every single weekend. I'm gonna

136
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 1: let you be an individual in everything you do. I'm

137
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: gonna market you every single week. I'm gonna let you

138
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 1: shine as a personality, not just as a part of

139
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,679
Speaker 1: my program. I think that becomes a lasting recruiting element

140
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 1: that will will serve Colorado or d On wherever he

141
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,919
Speaker 1: ends up for the rest of his career. Incredibly, Like,

142
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: this is a phenomenon that I don't think is going anywhere.

143
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 3: I'm with you right now. And look, he's like the

144
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 3: pie piper of college football. You talk about exposure. Fox's

145
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 3: big new kickoff has been there three times ready this year.

146
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,599
Speaker 3: It's amazing. I mean last year you couldn't find Boulder.

147
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 3: They there three times this year. And more than that,

148
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 3: what I love is that he's gotten under the skin

149
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 3: of a lot of coaches because a lot of coaches

150
00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:58,600
Speaker 3: don't want to change.

151
00:05:58,640 --> 00:05:59,479
Speaker 2: They're setting their way.

152
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 3: For example, this portal situation bothers a lot of guys.

153
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 3: I remember when Paton Ardozi, the coach of pitt came

154
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 3: out months ago. He didn't like what he was doing.

155
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 3: Everything Deon's doing is on board, it's legal, but these

156
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 3: guys don't want to get it done.

157
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 2: They want the old fashioned way. You know, I will

158
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 2: tell you this much.

159
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:17,919
Speaker 3: I think coach k at Duke is one of the

160
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 3: reasons why he left and villain over you know, Jay

161
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 3: left as well. Why they couldn't adapt to this portal

162
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 3: thing so they quit coaching. I really believe that sometimes

163
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 3: you just can't make change. Change sometimes is good. You

164
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 3: know Dan Lanning, the coach of Oregon, right last week,

165
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:34,720
Speaker 3: what does he say that Deon's in there for clicks?

166
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 3: You get these guys coming out of the woodwork just

167
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 3: attacking him, and I love that.

168
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 2: I love it. It's great.

169
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 3: I think it's great for the sport because you have

170
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 3: to have a guy wearing the black robe. You have

171
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 3: to have the enemy, you have to have the guy

172
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 3: that people love to hate, and they're doing that with Dion.

173
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,039
Speaker 1: I mean, think about the best action movies. If you

174
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: look at the best Batman movies, they're defining portion not

175
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 1: just by Batman, but by who the best villain is, right,

176
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:57,919
Speaker 1: Like you've got to have a hero and a villain

177
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 1: for every story, right, And you're a thousand percent right,

178
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 1: Like you know, one of the things I cover a

179
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 1: lot for y'all, who is college football. And I was

180
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:06,799
Speaker 1: stunned when we did our first video of the weekend

181
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: that we did Weekend one. We just did a quick

182
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: clip on Colorado, and then you looked at the numbers

183
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 1: afterwards and you said, oh my god, people want this. Okay,

184
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 1: we'll make sure that we keep an eye on Colorado.

185
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 1: How can we do more content for people that are

186
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: searching for Colorado content? And to this day, when we

187
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: put our videos up yesterday, I am sure they want

188
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: to get the numbers. Next week we'll see that it's

189
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 1: overwhelmingly in support of this. You're right. I would tell

190
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 1: everybody that you know, college football is in the danger

191
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: at some point of becoming major League Baseball, where all

192
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: of a sudden, your fans and your diehard say, well,

193
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 1: you can't change the game. You can't change the game.

194
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: These changes that so many people, fans, coaches alike, You're right,

195
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 1: have complained about are the very thing that make Notre

196
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 1: Dame Duke last night Destination TV. Right, we are in

197
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 1: a world now. If you look at the top forty

198
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 1: players in college football by recruiting, they went to more

199
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 1: schools than ever last year. What does that do? That

200
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 1: spreads the talent out? The use of the transfer portal

201
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,679
Speaker 1: spreads the talent out. It makes for more in games

202
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 1: like the NFL always wins because there's a way to

203
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 1: make the Titans interesting every few years. If college football

204
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 1: can capture that with the transfer portal and with m

205
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 1: NIL and all of the opportunities they have for kids, man,

206
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 1: I'm all in for it because it grows the sport.

207
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: And if your sport isn't growing, it's.

208
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 3: Dying, no doubt about that. You know you mentioned exposure.

209
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 3: This guy, Deon Sanders has been on sixty Minutes twice

210
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 3: in the last four months. It's it's amazing, it really is.

211
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 3: I Mean, he just has that aura about him that

212
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 3: people want to be around him or don't like him.

213
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 3: Either way. There's no in the middle with Deon Sanders.

214
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 3: And if you watch the game yesterday, I mean he

215
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:37,319
Speaker 3: had Paul Pierce in the stands.

216
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 2: Kevin Garnett was there.

217
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 3: CC Sabathia, Deshaun Jackson, Michael Westbrook, and you're a good friend.

218
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 3: You're a good friend. The rapper, the baby, Okay, I'm

219
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 3: sure you know him. I'm sure you perform with that baby.

220
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 3: I mean I couldn't pick the baby out in a lineup. Okay,

221
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 3: but I'm sure you know me. You are a music guy.

222
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 3: But these are the guys that the kids want to

223
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 3: be around. And I'm sure there are kids out there

224
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 3: right now saying I want to play for Dion, I

225
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 3: want to go to Colorado, beclose of these guys that

226
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 3: come into the games.

227
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 1: What's interesting about that to me, though, that I'll always

228
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 1: think of is different personalities get the best out of

229
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 1: different personalities. Right, Like I mentioned, I was a music kid,

230
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 1: and you know the funny thing is I grew up

231
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: going I got into juliarbh. I was a very young kid.

232
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 1: So we moved to the East Coast. But I had

233
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 1: a teacher at one teacher at one point that at

234
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 1: a prosthetic leg and he used to take it off

235
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 1: and threaten to hit me with it if I didn't

236
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 1: play well and like which now you know, at the

237
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: time was terrifying me. Now I laugh about it. I

238
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 1: had one teacher that would grab whatever was on his

239
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 1: desk and just chuck it at you while he was

240
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,079
Speaker 1: just yelling at the top of his lungs and Russian right.

241
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 1: But for me, that motivated me, Like this whole there

242
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 1: was a fear and an edge to all of it

243
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 1: that motivated me to be the best musician I could

244
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 1: be right there. So for me, that really worked. And

245
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 1: I say that because there are football players out there

246
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 1: and guys that I know that played in the league

247
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 1: that I've worked with, they will tell you they respond

248
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: to Nick Saban and the way he's just always on edge.

249
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:55,959
Speaker 1: There are guys out there that respond to Dabbo and

250
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 1: is sort of I love you and faith based. This

251
00:09:58,000 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: is what we're gonna do, and this is how we're

252
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 1: gonna do it. There hasn't been a coach in college

253
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 1: football with this level of platform that's done it this

254
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,559
Speaker 1: way and not just offering the celebrities, but offering to

255
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 1: treat the kids this way. With these experiences might bring

256
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 1: the best out of players that in other situations are

257
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,319
Speaker 1: a shell of themselves. Like at every point, You've got

258
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: to figure out who can help me become the best

259
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 1: me that I can be. And if you do that,

260
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 1: you're gonna make your team better, You're gonna make your

261
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 1: program better. You're gonna make the front sales of the

262
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 1: front porch sales of the school better. You're gonna do

263
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 1: all of those things. So I think there is this

264
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 1: element of while we say, oh, it's about the guys

265
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 1: on the sidelines, the guys on the sidelines, it is,

266
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,079
Speaker 1: but it's also about, Hey, there's a bunch of kids

267
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:40,319
Speaker 1: that are gonna come experiences that wouldn't get this experience elsewhere,

268
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 1: and because of the culture that's created, will be a

269
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 1: better version of themselves.

270
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:44,839
Speaker 2: Well, look at us.

271
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 3: There was a full slate of college football games yesterday

272
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 3: was stuck on and I love it. We're stuck on

273
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 3: Deon Sanders in Colorado. That's fine, that's what people want

274
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 3: to talk about. But I'm sure people waking up didn't

275
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 3: watch the game. What did Colorado? Do you know what

276
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 3: a dion dou They lost?

277
00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 1: Good?

278
00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:58,680
Speaker 2: Oh they won good?

279
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,319
Speaker 3: That following the understand this, And I'll tell you what,

280
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:06,079
Speaker 3: I'm not particularly engrossed and love this new transfer portal situation.

281
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 3: Why do I say that I'm watching these games and

282
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 3: I have like these little liners on TV where it

283
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:14,320
Speaker 3: says Joe Blow has now played in three different schools

284
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 3: in three different years.

285
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 2: I don't know how that happens. I don't know how.

286
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 3: Presidents can consider themselves academia when they have guys going

287
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 3: to three different schools of three years and they don't

288
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 3: have to sit out. I don't get it. But you know,

289
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 3: as a fan, I love it as a fan. I

290
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 3: love it as a person who basically went to college

291
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,440
Speaker 3: four years and even at one time Phillip's transferring saying Hey,

292
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna go there because I'm gonna have to

293
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 3: lose thirty five credits and do this and start all

294
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 3: over again. And these kids could do it. I don't

295
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 3: know how. I don't know how that works. But you

296
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 3: know what, I'm a fan now, I'm not a student,

297
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 3: so I don't care.

298
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, the hardest part of college football that's been

299
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 1: broken for a long time in that sense is that

300
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 1: we just live in a world where coaches can decide

301
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 1: willy nilly they're going to go coach anywhere. And then

302
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 1: you've got these kids that are locked into schools for years.

303
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: They were locked into schools that they no longer wanted

304
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 1: to be at because they went there, you know, to

305
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:02,960
Speaker 1: play for a certain person or play for a certain culture.

306
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,679
Speaker 1: So you know, the difficulty is that hypocrisy has sort

307
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 1: of always that rage rule, I should say, over that

308
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 1: portion of college football. That being said, I think ultimately

309
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 1: at some point what we have to accept is that

310
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 1: these are barely students anymore. They're just representing the school

311
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 1: colors that so many people have fallen in love with. So,

312
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 1: you know, if it makes college football less predictable, I mean,

313
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 1: one of the beasts is somebody I covered the sport

314
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,200
Speaker 1: at ESPN for six years. It did every show that

315
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 1: we had there, and when you start thinking about it,

316
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 1: you'd reached the spot where you go in and you're like, okay, guys,

317
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 1: top four teams are going to be the same top

318
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 1: four teams they always are, So how are we going

319
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: to make this interesting this week? And what's funny to

320
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 1: me is now, for the first time in my career here,

321
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 1: since twenty sixteen of doing this full time in my life,

322
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 1: I can't tell you right now who the top four

323
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 1: teams are. So if the transfer portal gives me that,

324
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 1: if all of this gives me that, I honestly think

325
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,079
Speaker 1: it's better for this board overall, and that's all I

326
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:01,559
Speaker 1: care about.

327
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:03,679
Speaker 3: I'm with you right there and speaking the tough four

328
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 3: teams right now. I don't think they're going to remove

329
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 3: Georgia because Georgia did win yesterday. They won by a

330
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 3: hair of course. However, I will say this if I

331
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,560
Speaker 3: had a vote, No, Georgia got by Ahlburn twenty seven

332
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 3: to twenty at the end of the ball game. If

333
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 3: I had a vote, I will for Michigan. Not only

334
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 3: are they winning and not only they undefeated, they're like

335
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 3: destroying people. They really are, so I think. But you know,

336
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 3: I don't think you take and you know this better

337
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 3: than me because you've been doing this college football deal.

338
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 3: I don't think you knock someone out of the first

339
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 3: spot so that because someone's playing not that good, but

340
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 3: they still haven't lost. So I think Georgia will still

341
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 3: be number one, but Michigan's going to pick up a

342
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 3: lot of votes.

343
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 1: I think that's part of why we honestly shouldn't do

344
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,839
Speaker 1: polls until later in the season, because Georgia's number one

345
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 1: because they started at number one. You're right, they won yesterday,

346
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,079
Speaker 1: but they have still yet to play four quarters of football.

347
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 1: In fact, their net points in the first quarter for

348
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 1: this entire season, and they haven't always played great opponents,

349
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 1: is zero, So they're not starting fast. They're barely starting.

350
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 1: You know, they've they've been down seventeen nothing, they've been

351
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:58,960
Speaker 1: down ten to nothing. They've managed to come back because

352
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 1: they're very talented FOOTB team. But should the number one

353
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: team in the country be number one if they haven't

354
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 1: actually played a good football game yet, because I don't

355
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 1: think Georgia has. Like they are number one because we

356
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 1: know how good they are, we know how good they were,

357
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 1: we know how well they've recruited, we know how good

358
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 1: they're supposed to be, But they're not number one because

359
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 1: of anything we've actually seen on the field. I would

360
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 1: have no problem if I had to vote frank they,

361
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 1: I would put Washington at number one. But that's what

362
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 1: makes this year interesting is that we have seen I mean,

363
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 1: Michigan beat the snot out of Nebraska, but Michigan also

364
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 1: really hasn't played anybody. So you go across the board

365
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 1: like we just haven't gotten to the meat of college

366
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 1: football yet this season in the schedule where I think

367
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 1: we have a lot of proof of concept on who's

368
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 1: any good.

369
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:39,800

Speaker 3: the Man, Jason the Man fits filling in for Bucky

00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 3: Brooks right here on Andy Furman, and we are rolling

Speaker 3: along right now because it's that time. It's that time

411
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 3: right now to talk NFL on Sunday, Okay, and we're

412
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 3: gonna do that with the Detroit Lions Thursday night. Go

413
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 3: the clock back a little bit, throw it back thirty

414
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 3: four to twenty over the Green Bay Packers and it

415
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 3: was really and truly dominating. I mean, now they're two

416
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 3: in one with wins at Green Bay in Kansas City,

417
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 3: and I gotta ask you, Jay, I mean, are they

418
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 3: for real, these Detroit Lions?

419
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 1: Yeah? I think so? And why not? You know, this

420
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 1: is where we have to start to judge teams based

421
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 1: on who they are today and not who their brand

422
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 1: has been. Like it frustrates me at times when we

423
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 1: come in and say, yeah, but it's the Lions, Okay, Well,

424
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:04,879
Speaker 1: this Lions team doesn't give a damn what happened to

425
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,160
Speaker 1: the Lions in the nineties or the early two thousands

426
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 1: or twenty ten, right, Like, we have to remember that

427
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 1: this Lions team can only be held accountable to what

428
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 1: this Lions team is doing. And what this Lions team

429
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,359
Speaker 1: has done is they found a way to win these games,

430
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 1: like they dominated Green Bay. You're right, and made Jordan

431
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,400
Speaker 1: Love you know, as much as hype as Jordan Love

432
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 1: was getting a week ago. Then they made him look human.

433
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 1: They showed some of the accuracy issues out of him

434
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:28,880
Speaker 1: in this process. Their defense has played really well. Their

435
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,640
Speaker 1: Lion has played really well their offense, Like we've got

436
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 1: to stop talking about Jared Goff like he's a liability

437
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 1: at quarterback because he has again found a system that

438
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:40,360
Speaker 1: he really thrives. And so you've got all the dynamic

439
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 1: playmakers you need. You've got quality play on both lines.

440
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 1: The defense is playing well enough at this point. I

441
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 1: don't understand why there's hesitation to say the Lions are

442
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 1: for real, simply because if you take the logos off

443
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: the chest and you just look at this team. Not

444
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 1: only did get this win against Green Bay, they found

445
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 1: a way to beat the Chiefs. Like this Lions team

446
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,120
Speaker 1: has done everything they need to do to answer every

447
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:01,879
Speaker 1: question we have.

448
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 3: You know, I'll go on stuff further. I'm looking at

449
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 3: the defense. The defense is tremendous. They've had seven sacks

450
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,360
Speaker 3: twice in their list six games. And I always say

451
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:11,439
Speaker 3: this and maybe on way off base, and you can

452
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 3: smack me around if I am. I mean, I love

453
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 3: Dan Campbell. I mean he looked like a fool when

454
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 3: he had his opening news conference and people laughing and

455
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 3: they thought he's a buffoon.

456
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:21,680
Speaker 2: I don't think this.

457
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:23,879
Speaker 3: Team would be as good with any of the coach

458
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 3: except Dan Campbell, because I think he's the perfect fit.

459
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 3: He's intense, he gets everything out of them. And you know,

460
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 3: I don't know the guy from Adam. He doesn't know me. However,

461
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:34,920
Speaker 3: I did see him in Hard Knocks, and I think

462
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,919
Speaker 3: that he is the perfect guy to make these guys

463
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 3: believe that they're good. Because when you go into that

464
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 3: Detroit Lions locker room and you're a draft de you

465
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:45,239
Speaker 3: look and say, wait a minute. This team has not

466
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 3: been into the playoffs since what I mean, they haven't

467
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 3: won a playoff games since when.

468
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:53,360
Speaker 2: I mean you get that era of like we're losers.

469
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 2: And he's changed that.

470
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:56,920
Speaker 3: They took about culture and I'm not a big guy

471
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 3: with that term culture, but honestly, he has changed the

472
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:01,639
Speaker 3: of the Detroit Lions.

473
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:05,160
Speaker 1: I'm a big guy for buy in and to your point,

474
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 1: and I agree with it very much. Part of this

475
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:09,880
Speaker 1: is about, you know, just figuring out how to get

476
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 1: a locker room to connect to a human being. And

477
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 1: one of the things that's difficult is we live in

478
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,199
Speaker 1: a world where we see so much of everything that

479
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 1: we take these soundbites and it's like, okay, the soundbites,

480
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 1: we're just weird and bad and maybe he's that cheesy

481
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,919
Speaker 1: behind closed doors whatever, But there is some element of

482
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 1: if he's consistent and authentic in who he is and

483
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 1: he handles the players consistently and authentically, a locker room

484
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 1: will buy into him. Every guy that I've ever worked

485
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 1: with or talked to that played the game talks about

486
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:39,119
Speaker 1: how what you want from a head coach at that

487
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 1: level is somebody that you know is being real with you,

488
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:43,959
Speaker 1: is honest with you, and you know what to expect

489
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:45,920
Speaker 1: from Like you start to get an understanding for who

490
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 1: they are as a human being. Dan Campbell has this

491
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:51,160
Speaker 1: locker room bought into him as a human being. They

492
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 1: feel like he's bought into them as individuals. When you

493
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:55,439
Speaker 1: combine that, I think that's a big part of it.

494
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 1: Like I'm with you, I think sometimes we overblow. Well,

495
00:19:57,800 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 1: you got to create your culture. I think it's it's

496
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 1: it's much simpler than that. You got to invest in

497
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:04,399
Speaker 1: people in a way that people invest in you. And

498
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 1: when a coach can do that, it doesn't matter if

499
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 1: they're dorky. I mean, I wouldn't say that. Mike McDaniel

500
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 1: seems like the type of guy a lot of people

501
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:13,160
Speaker 1: want to rage with, right, But he's got this quirky

502
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:16,679
Speaker 1: dorkiness that players relate to. Dan Campbell has this like

503
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:20,159
Speaker 1: old school funny football ism that players relate to. As

504
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 1: long as you're authentic and you can get the players

505
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 1: to relate, that's all that matters.

506
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 2: No doubt about that.

507
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 3: Dave Montgomery Russ rush for one hundred and twenty one

508
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:28,919
Speaker 3: yards and three touchdowns in that game on Thursday. But

509
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 3: the good news is right now, the NFL has changed

510
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 3: their rule on betting. Betting on non NFL sports while

511
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,640
Speaker 3: out a team facility or on team related travel now

512
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:41,119
Speaker 3: results only in a two game suspension for the first violations.

513
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 2: What does that mean.

514
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 3: That means that wide receiver Jamison Williams will return Monday

515
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 3: after a two game suspension, which gives the Detroit Lions

516
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 3: that big deep threat, which a lot of people think

517
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 3: that may be the one thing they were missing. Defense

518
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,119
Speaker 3: is tough, a running game is right there. Now they

519
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 3: got a deep threat in Jamison Williams. I mean, I

520
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 3: tell you right now, they've locked up the North. They've

521
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 3: locked up that division. Green Bay's gone. I mean, Minnesota

522
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,440
Speaker 3: can't win. They got it. It's all Detroit right now.

523
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, the question for them at the point. At this

524
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:12,119
Speaker 1: point isn't the division, it's where they're going to stack

525
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 1: in the NFC. I mean, realistically, if you want to

526
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 1: compete in this year's NFC, you better have an offense

527
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 1: that can make things difficult for the forty nine ers defense.

528
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 1: And that's easier said than done. This offense does that.

529
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 1: This offense can do a lot of things really well.

530
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:29,919
Speaker 1: And one of the things that's funny about the draft.

531
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 1: Obviously we had a lot of reaction to the Lions

532
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 1: and the way their picks went out, but one thing

533
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 1: we talked about afterwards is that if you just took

534
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 1: a look at the name of the boards and not

535
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 1: where they were drafted, they got a lot of quality players.

536
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 1: I think you're seeing that they're going to continue to

537
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 1: grow the roster with an infusion of youth. Also, that's

538
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:48,160
Speaker 1: really good. I think the Lions are in a perfect situation.

539
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,159
Speaker 1: The thing is, you need to be variable to be

540
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:52,680
Speaker 1: able to beat the forty nine ers. You need to

541
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:54,399
Speaker 1: be able to do a lot of things well to

542
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:56,639
Speaker 1: take down that defense. I think the Lions offense can

543
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 1: absolutely do that all day, every day. In fact, this

544
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 1: is one of the those rare moments where I think

545
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 1: we also have to. I can't believe we're saying this

546
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,200
Speaker 1: about the Lions again. It gets funny, but you got

547
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 1: to look frankly at their coaching staff and wonder if

548
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 1: it's the next one that's going to be poached, Like

549
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 1: is Ben Johnson the offensive coordinator? They're going to be

550
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,199
Speaker 1: the hot candidate somewhere next year. And the way this

551
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 1: offense is going to keep putting numbers up.

552
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:20,439
Speaker 3: You're exactly right. I want to move on right now.

553
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:24,360
Speaker 3: Get the Falcons Jags in London and the memory of

554
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 3: the late Bucky Brooks who used to be with us.

555
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 3: He's over there now in London with the Jags. And look,

556
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 3: I will tell you right now that the Falcons right

557
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,359
Speaker 3: now leading receiver is Mac Collins with like one hundred

558
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 3: and fourteen yards. This team is one dimensional. And I

559
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 3: talked about a reunion on Sunday. Well, Calvin Ridley, the

560
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:42,359
Speaker 3: wide receiver, will meet his film of Falcons team. I

561
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:44,440
Speaker 3: like the Jags in this game, but it's gonna be

562
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 3: a close one. And honestly, if this game is in

563
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:48,440
Speaker 3: my backyard, it's my good friend Mike North would say,

564
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 3: I close the drapes.

565
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:53,439
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm stealing that from both of you because I

566
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 1: love every ounce of that. I agree. I think part

567
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:59,879
Speaker 1: of why the Falcons are one dimensional is the exact

568
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 1: opposite of Ben Johnson. It's not that they don't have

569
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 1: the players, it's the and I don't think Desmond Ritter

570
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:08,880
Speaker 1: obviously is the answer their long term quarterback. But they

571
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 1: just don't have much creativity to their offense right. And

572
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 1: that's what's interesting to me is that when you've got

573
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:17,159
Speaker 1: Drake London and you've got Bijon and you've got Pits

574
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 1: and like we hear so many people scream about, well,

575
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:23,360
Speaker 1: it's not fantasy football. It doesn't need to be fantasy football.

576
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 1: The reason that those players are projected to do well

577
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 1: in fantasy football is because, to be very clear, they're

578
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:32,400
Speaker 1: talented football players. But I don't understand is why Arthur

579
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:35,640
Speaker 1: Smith's choice as a coach and why the falcons choice

580
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:39,120
Speaker 1: is designed in offense is to try and simplify things

581
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 1: or make it dumb things down to a level where

582
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:43,879
Speaker 1: you're not exploiting the great matchups you could get with

583
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 1: great talent. It doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

584
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:48,359
Speaker 1: They've won some football games, but I am not a

585
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:51,359
Speaker 1: believer in Desmond Ritter at all is a long term answer.

586
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:53,679
Speaker 1: So I think this has got to be one of

587
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 1: those weeks too, where the Jags start to normalize to

588
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 1: who they should be the rest of the year. And

589
00:23:57,560 --> 00:23:59,239
Speaker 1: I think we start to see that when you are

590
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 1: going up against the team, they can put a lot

591
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:02,920
Speaker 1: of points up, and they will put a lot of

592
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:04,920
Speaker 1: points up in this game. I think Atlanta's going to

593
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 1: struggle to keep up.

594
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:09,160
Speaker 3: Here you go, here's Jason Fitzimady Ferman. This is Fox

595
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 3: Football Sunday on Fox Sports Radio. Now, was last week

596
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 3: just to hiccup? Well that's coming up lot Live next

597
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 3: on Fox Sports Radio from the tiraq dot com studios.

598
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,400
Speaker 2: But first I got Kevin Wyatt. How's all your sports.

599
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 2: We're in the final day of the Ryder Cup with

600
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 2: the Europeans entering competition on Sunday, leading US ten and

601
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:32,120
Speaker 2: a half to five and a half. The Americans would

602
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 2: need a record comeback in order to retain the Ryder

603
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 2: Cup trophy, and action is under way today. John Rahm

604
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 2: is one up on Scotti Scheffler. They are through four holes.

605
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:46,440
Speaker 2: Victor Hovlin one up on Colin Markawa. They are through three.

606
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,679
Speaker 2: Patrick Kantley is one up on Justin Rose. They are

607
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 2: through two holes and through one hole. Roy McElroy one

608
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 2: up on Sam Burns, and we're waiting on the tee

609
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 2: off of Matt Fitzpatrick and Max Homer, Tyle Hatton. Bryan

610
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 2: Harmon also set the tee off shortly after them, Ludvig Aberg, Brooks,

611
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:08,400
Speaker 2: Keepka and then at the top of the hour, Sepstraca

612
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 2: and Justin Thomas. As for the action on Saturday, college

613
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:17,120
Speaker 2: Football Top Break Georgia, they had to sweat out against Auburn,

614
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 2: but they do win at twenty seven to twenty a

615
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 2: forty yard touchdown pass with to tight end Brock Bowers

616
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 2: with three minutes ago, sealing the win for the two

617
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:29,479
Speaker 2: time defending national champions. Number eight USC looked like they

618
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 2: were going to an easy win against Colorado. They're at

619
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:34,199
Speaker 2: forty eight twenty one late in the third quarter, but

620
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 2: the Buffs, trying to make a comeback, would fall just

621
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 2: short as USC wins at forty eight to forty one

622
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 2: behind six touchdown passes from Caleb Williams and Shirdard Sanders,

623
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 2: for his part, had five touchdowns. On the afternoon ELEVENTHREAC

624
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 2: Notre Dame needed a late touchdown with just thirty seconds

625
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 2: to go to beat number seventeen Duke twenty one fourteen.

626
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 2: It was a shootout in the sec between number twenty

627
00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:01,199
Speaker 2: ole Miss and number thirteen LSCU, the Rebels winning at

628
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 2: fifty five forty nine. They got two touchdowns in the

629
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:08,119
Speaker 2: final five minutes. Kentucky takes down number twenty two Florida

630
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:11,919
Speaker 2: thirty three fourteen. We have some NFL news. Jimmy Garoppolo

631
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 2: still in concussion protocol. He will not play against the

632
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:20,399
Speaker 2: Chargers today. Ian Rappaport's saying that Aidan O'Connell likely to

633
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 2: get the start in his place instead of the other

634
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 2: backup Brian Hoyer and the Chargers for their part ruling

635
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 2: at Austin Eckler, Joey Buzsa and Derwin James Equanimia Saint Brown.

636
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 2: He will be active with Chase Claypool down, so that's

637
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 2: another injury news there. Tyson Bigen will be the new

638
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:45,680
Speaker 2: backup for Justin Fields. Colts plan to open the twenty

639
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,920
Speaker 2: one day practice window for star running back Jonathan Taylor.

640
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:50,959
Speaker 2: He's on the physically unable to perform list and we'll

641
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 2: see when he comes off that and Miles Sanders of

642
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 2: the Panthers listed as questionable with a groin injury. He

643
00:26:57,040 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 2: is expected to play today. Giants rod Ta Kwon Barkley

644
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 2: doubtful for Monday night against Seattle. He's dealing with an

645
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:08,879
Speaker 2: ankle injury. In boxing, Canel Alvarez defeats Jamel Charlow in

646
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 2: a unanimous decision. His record now goes to sixty two

647
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 2: and two. He retains his middleweight title. Back to you guys,

648
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 2: all right, thank.

649
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 3: You, keV all right, didn't mean to interrupt you there,

650
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:19,879
Speaker 3: but there's a new Bowl game. We'll tell you all

651
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 3: about it and the name of it in just about

652
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:23,959
Speaker 3: a minute. He's Jason fitz in for Buckey Brooks. I'm

653
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 3: Andy Ferman And by the way, football fans, be sure

654

Speaker 3: to tune in to Fox Sports Radio every Sunday morning

Speaker 3: to Kickoff presented by Bett mgm, Brian No, Jeff Schwartz,

657

Speaker 3: a professional better Bill Krackenberger will have you covered three

658
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:43,119
Speaker 3: hours before kickoff. Every Sunday morning, listen to Countdown to

659
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 3: the Kickoff presented by Bet mgm. Right here on Fox

660
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 3: Sports Radio and of course the iHeart Radio app. Now

661
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:51,879
Speaker 3: we got the Fits talk in about eight nine minutes

662
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,680
Speaker 3: from now. That'll be really interesting. I can't wait. Ravens

663
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 3: at Browns, and my guy Bucky Brooks says that Browns

664
00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:59,879
Speaker 3: and the team to beat obviously in that division a

665
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 3: c nowth injuries, bad weather. The Ravens still lost to

666
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 3: the Colts last week in ot shouldn't happen to him.

667
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 3: But they've got a lot of injuries. But justin Tucker,

668
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:11,200
Speaker 3: the guy that could kick blindfolded, he was shot on

669
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 3: a game winning sixty one yard kit in regulation and

670
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 3: they couldn't put it away. So the Browns defense against

671
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:19,639
Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson should be interesting. I like the Browns in

672
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 3: this game, not by a lot, but by just enough

673
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 3: to beat the Baltimore Ravens.

674
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 1: Well, this is what's interesting to me, and I respect

675
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 1: the heck out of what Bucky's saying. I think he's right.

676
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 1: The biggest surprise early portion of the season is that

677
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 1: the Browns look this good across the board even without

678
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson necessarily playing at the highest level. I know

679
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 1: he finally broke out last week. Let's see how that

680
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 1: sustains moving forward, This defense for Cleveland gives you so

681
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 1: many problems. The unfortunate thing in my mind is that

682
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 1: I thought we'd be saying the same thing about the

683
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 1: Ravens offense, like top Monkey was supposed to come in

684
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 1: and really revolutionize the opportunity to watch the passing game grow,

685
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 1: and instead it's felt like everything's been a little out

686
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 1: of sync for Baltimore. I think maybe a lot of us,

687
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 1: myself included, underestimated the adjustment to the new offense because

688
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 1: it doesn't feel like necessarily all of these weapons are

689
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 1: being used in these dramatic, incredible ways that we were

690
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:16,720
Speaker 1: expecting that you know, be hard to defend because you

691
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 1: didn't even know what you'd be seeing. So now you're

692
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 1: in this situation where you're taking on a Cleveland team

693
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 1: that you know has frankly one of the most disruptive

694
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 1: players in the game across the defensive line in Miles

695
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 1: Garrett that nobody knows how to stop, and they're doing

696
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:32,960
Speaker 1: a beautiful job. I mean, everybody saw the rip last week,

697
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 1: but at one point Garrett caused a false start because

698
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 1: he was actually just going or a delay game because

699
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 1: he was going from side to side to side and

700
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 1: they were having to adjust the entire offensive alignment based

701
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 1: on where he was standing. That's how impactful he is

702
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 1: as a pass rusher. Right now, I don't know how

703
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 1: you stop that. So that means that you're going to

704
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 1: have to have precision passing that gets out quickly, and

705
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 1: that's something and I don't think the Ravens have done

706
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 1: well yet, So I don't know how you run the

707
00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 1: ball against him either. So this Cleveland defense is a problem,

708
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 1: and I don't think the Ravens offense is up to

709
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 1: par yet to be able to take it on.

710
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 2: Plus the injuries. You're right about that.

711
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 3: I like the Browns as well. Browns have allowed one

712
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 3: touchdown this year. Brown's offense has given up two. That's

713
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:11,480
Speaker 3: there you go. So we we're both in the in

714
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 3: conjunction y with the Browns. Now, we've got the Broncos

715
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 3: at the Bears. And I said, there's gonna be a

716
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 3: new bowl game mentioned this year. This new bowl game

717
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 3: is the toilet Bowl because both these teams are owing.

718
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 2: Three this this game. Right now. You couldn't bring.

719
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 3: A limo to my house to draw me to this

720
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 3: game to watch this game. Broncos lost by fifty to

721
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 3: the Dolphins last week. I mean Sean Payton stopped playing

722
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 3: the blame game already. Really, I mean, it's over. You

723
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 3: got a bad team. Russell Wilson's own three for the

724
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 3: first time in his career, Justin Fields is owing three

725
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:38,600
Speaker 3: for the first time in his career. But I will

726
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 3: say this, Chicago has played worse among both these teams.

727
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna take the Broncos, probably by a field goal.

728
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 3: It's gonna be one of those games. I think whoever's

729
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 3: got the ball at the end of the game is

730
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 3: gonna win the game.

731
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 1: Look, there's one thing I got to be very clear

732
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:53,920
Speaker 1: on here. I need the Broncos to start winning a

733
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 1: game or two. Like as a LIFELULNK diehard Raiders fan,

734
00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:58,720
Speaker 1: there are certain things that I've had to come to

735
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 1: grips with. Like I accept the fact that I'm gonna

736
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 1: have to face Patrick Mahomes twice a year for the

737
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 1: next I don't know, decade. I've accepted the fact that

738
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert's always going to be able to put up

739
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 1: numbers for the next decade. I do not need, somehow

740
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 1: the Broncos to fall into the first pick in the

741
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 1: draft and end up selecting Caleb Williams like, I can't mind.

742
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 1: That's not good for my liver. It's not good for

743
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 1: my health. I can't drink that much to get through

744
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:20,720
Speaker 1: that many Sundays. So the Broncos is going to have

745
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 1: to win a couple of these. I think one of

746
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:25,480
Speaker 1: the biggest differences, frankly is when things start to go

747
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 1: wildly off the rails, teams get into self protect mode,

748
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 1: a lot of players get into self protect mode. Locker

749
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 1: rooms start to sort of divide and fall apart. We've

750
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 1: seen some of that already for Chicago. As much as

751
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 1: the Broncos have been an abject disaster so far, I

752
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 1: think a lot of that was pretty predictable. I thought

753
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 1: they'd be the fourth place team in their division. What's

754
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:47,600
Speaker 1: interesting to me is that we thought at least Chicago

755
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 1: would take a step forward. Now that that's not happening,

756
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:51,680
Speaker 1: and now that people are using the media to talk

757
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 1: about it, I just feel like Chicago is on the

758
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 1: edge of an implosion. If you're the Broncos, at least

759
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 1: you know, no matter what, there was one stabilizing force,

760
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 1: and that's it. No matter what happens, they could lose

761
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 1: every game this year. By thirty points. Champagne ain't going anywhere, right,

762
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 1: so there is some level of, Hey, we're going to

763
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 1: be able to hunker down and not be distracted through this.

764
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:15,480
Speaker 1: I think Chicago's already in bailout mode and that that's

765
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:17,480
Speaker 1: going to be a disaster. I wouldn't be surprised if

766
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 1: the Broncos win this game. I think they'll win this

767
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:21,240
Speaker 1: game pretty handily, and I think the calls for eber

768
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 1: Flus's job are going to get to They're gonna get

769
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:25,480
Speaker 1: even louder this week. And I don't think there's anything

770
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 1: he's going to be able to pull off that really

771
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 1: stops it. Other than the fact that Chicago just never

772
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 1: fires a coach midseason. I don't know what saves this

773
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 1: season for them.

774
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:35,520
Speaker 3: I think the answer to this game is gonna be

775
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 3: who's the worst team in the NFL. You look at

776
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 3: the stat here, This is an amazing statistic. The Bears

777
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 3: have been outscored by a league most fifty nine points,

778
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 3: been out scored by fifty nine points at most in

779
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 3: the league, and now gained by Forge to seventy two yards.

780
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 2: It's amazing.

781
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:50,920
Speaker 3: And look, I've watched some of these Bear games on

782
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 3: TV the fans are just they're ugly, I mean and

783
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 3: rightfully so, I mean, really, you want a product that

784
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 3: you could be proud of that's a competitive product. They're

785
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 3: not even competitive. And I don't think the problem certainly

786
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 3: is all on justin fields. You know, give us something

787
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 3: to work with, let him run the football, but then

788
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 3: not letting him do that. Oh one three against Owen three.

789
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:10,160
Speaker 3: And you know, Sean Paige, I'm a little surprised with

790
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 3: Sean Payton. You know, he started off giving that confidence

791
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 3: boost to Russell and kind of backfired and pointing fingers

792
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 3: at Nathaniel Hackett. And now I guess Hacket's got his

793
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 3: own problems now in New York. But still in all

794
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 3: you know, it's on you. It's on you, Sean, and

795
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 3: you get it done.

796
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 2: Get it done. We'll see what happens.

797
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 1: Okay. Can we also just acknowledge the fact that, I

798
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 1: mean not taking anything away from the greatness of Belichick,

799
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 1: but let's also be very real Belichick doesn't look the

800
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:41,800
Speaker 1: same without Brady, without being a hot take artist. That's

801
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 1: a very simple statement to make. We're just presuming, by

802
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 1: the way that Sean Payton is going to turn all

803
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 1: of this around, and it's going to beautiful without Drew Brees.

804
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 1: Like I'm just saying that maybe at some point we

805
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 1: should acknowledge great coaches can still be great coaches, but

806
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:56,520
Speaker 1: to have great teams you need a great coach and

807
00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 1: a great quarterback. And it's not like those are easy

808
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 1: to find. But just an ast to that.

809
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 3: When you look at the forty nine ers with brock Party,

810
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 3: that to me is an amazing to do it now

811
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 3: really when you think about it, right, I mean, day Dad,

812
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 3: it's a first round draft pick in Trey Lance. They

813
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 3: cut his cut his ass to let him go on.

814
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:14,400
Speaker 3: Brock Party is getting the job done. That's amazing to me.

815
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,239
Speaker 1: That's but that's and that's why I think the forty

816
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:18,759
Speaker 1: nine ers for a long time have sort of been

817
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:21,239
Speaker 1: playing chess while everybody else is playing checkers. They looked

818
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 1: at it and said, hey, we can't necessarily get the

819
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 1: Mahomes in the draft, but if we can build our

820
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:28,040
Speaker 1: fifty three to be so incredible top to bottom, we'll

821
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 1: still find ways to win while we try and find

822
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 1: our Mahomes. And maybe they found their guy in Brock

823
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 1: Party certainly looks like it so far. It's it's one

824
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 1: of the rare stories. It's like, you can't bank on

825
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:39,440
Speaker 1: finding a Brady in the sixth round of the draft.

826
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:42,280
Speaker 1: You can't bank on winning without a quarterback. The forty

827
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 1: nine ers deserve a tip of the cap for what

828
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:45,920
Speaker 1: they've been able to do. I just I think for

829
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 1: the Broncos, it's oversimplification to think if you're going to

830
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:50,719
Speaker 1: be in the same division as Patrick Mahomes for the

831
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:52,880
Speaker 1: next decade, that Sean Payton is going to win a

832
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:54,920
Speaker 1: bunch of those divisions, make a bunch of those playoff

833
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:57,480
Speaker 1: runs without a real quarterback. And I don't know that

834
00:34:57,480 --> 00:34:59,840
Speaker 1: that's just as easy to get. Like the presumption was

835
00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 1: that he would be the world saver, it all would

836
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 1: be good, and it's like, well that's fine, but you

837
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:05,200
Speaker 1: still got to find a quarterback.

838
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 3: Man exactly right, he's Jason fitzim Andy Furman. We are

Speaker 1: Are you ready?

862
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:07,600
Speaker 2: Let's hit in?

863
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:11,040
Speaker 3: Okay, first question for fitz Talk, just Taylor Swift factor

864
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 3: in the NFL. I don't think the NFL needs it.

865
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:15,759
Speaker 3: I think a chieves the league. You know, maybe in

866
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:18,239
Speaker 3: minor league baseball they should have stuff like that, and

867
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 3: they have a memo now to Taylor Swift, are inviting

868
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:23,320
Speaker 3: her to every game in the NFL. Should she decide

869
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 3: to do that? Your take on the Taylor Swift factor

870
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:26,720
Speaker 3: in the NFL.

871
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:29,400
Speaker 1: Look, I mean, if I was going to rewrite the headline,

872
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 1: the headline would be really popular pop sensation that's super

873
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:36,279
Speaker 1: rich sits in luxury suite during NFL game. Like, I

874
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 1: don't really care who Taylor Swift dates or who dates

875
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift. I as you know, as a Raiders fan,

876
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:43,879
Speaker 1: does it impact to the game when the Raiders play

877
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:45,719
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. I don't think so. So I don't really

878
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 1: care about any of it. I will say this, though,

879
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:50,080
Speaker 1: I've had more people that I do what I do

880
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:52,360
Speaker 1: for years. I've had more people reach out to me

881
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 1: in the last week that have never cared about football

882
00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:57,600
Speaker 1: at all just to find out about Travis Kelcey. So

883
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:00,400
Speaker 1: I think there is something to the popularity and what

884
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 1: it means. But I also don't think the NFL needs

885
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:04,400
Speaker 1: to pander to Taylor Swift, like, just let her come

886
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:06,719
Speaker 1: to the game and enjoy the game exactly right.

887
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:07,520
Speaker 2: Okay, here we go.

888
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 3: Question number two for Fitz talg a Philadelphia Phillies fan

889
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 3: and his emotional support alligator, Wally, were denied entering into

890
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:19,279
Speaker 3: Wednesday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The fan arrived at

891
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:22,719
Speaker 3: Citizen Bank Park walking Wili on a leash, claiming the

892
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:25,640
Speaker 3: nearly five foot alligator as his service animal, and the

893
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 3: stadium's policy on support animals on the Phillies' official website

894
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:32,400
Speaker 3: says certified service dogs and service dogs and training for

895
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:36,279
Speaker 3: guests with special needs to welcome all other animals are prohibited.

896
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:39,160
Speaker 3: What do you think about having a service alligator?

897
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 1: Get out of here? Like just just just stop, Like

898
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:45,720
Speaker 1: you'd be making in that moment to make yourself comfortable,

899
00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 1: if you needed your five foot service alligator, you'd be

900
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:51,759
Speaker 1: making everybody within I don't know, fifteen rows in every

901
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 1: direction in that place uncomfortable And like, I'm sorry, but

902
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 1: even if that is real, even if it's really your

903
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 1: support animal, do you think that you be able to

904
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:03,480
Speaker 1: put hundreds of people at some level of discomfort at

905
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:05,080
Speaker 1: the game just so that you can go to the game?

906
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:06,719
Speaker 1: And how what you are? I am so out on

907
00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:09,920
Speaker 1: this and believe me, like I'm all in on service

908
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:11,719
Speaker 1: dogs and what they can do for people's lives. I've

909
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 1: seen it. It's amazing. But we have got to stop

910
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:16,319
Speaker 1: with this presumption that like, Okay, fine, I'm gonna bring

911
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:18,440
Speaker 1: my service tiger to the next Raiders game. Let's see

912
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:19,359
Speaker 1: how that goes. Come on.

913
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:22,680
Speaker 3: You know, I'm happy that the Philly said you ain't

914
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:24,839
Speaker 3: doing it. But I'm thinking about this. Now, what if

915
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 3: a lot of flight I'm on a plane and I'm

916
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 3: sitting down and next thing I know, the guy's coming

917
00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:31,319
Speaker 3: down the aisle with his alligator and he's sitting next

918
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:34,440
Speaker 3: to me, and Delta Airlines permits service alligators.

919
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:35,520
Speaker 2: That's what worries me.

920
00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:38,440
Speaker 1: You know what's worse than snakes on a plane, crocks

921
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:39,880
Speaker 1: on a plane. We're doing that thing like there's a

922
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:41,160
Speaker 1: sequel crocks on a plane.

923
00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:44,839
Speaker 3: There we go, amazing, there we go okay. Next we

924
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 3: know that running backs a now devalued. What position in

925
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 3: the NFL will be devalued?

926
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:53,239
Speaker 1: Next, Fitzie, it's hot take, but I think it's a

927
00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:56,440
Speaker 1: wide receiver. The fact is, the way the college game

928
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:58,760
Speaker 1: has changed, you're getting production out of younger wide receivers

929
00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:01,319
Speaker 1: faster than ever, which means while if you have one

930
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:03,360
Speaker 1: of the best of the best, just like in the NFL.

931
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:05,760
Speaker 1: If you have absolutely one of the elite, they'll get paid.

932
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:07,680
Speaker 1: You're going to see a bunch of the upper to

933
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:10,359
Speaker 1: middle class wide receivers in the league suddenly find their

934
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:12,719
Speaker 1: value replaceable because the presumption is going to be in

935
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:14,839
Speaker 1: the first round of the draft every year, you can

936
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:16,560
Speaker 1: go in and get yourself a guy that's still going

937
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 1: to get you that same productivity. So while I think

938
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:22,359
Speaker 1: top notch wide receivers will still get paid, I think

939
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:24,080
Speaker 1: the middle class of wide receivers are going to get

940
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 1: pushed out by the younger class that's coming in that's

941
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:27,920
Speaker 1: cheaper and can be effective easier.

942
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:30,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think the bottom line is just people

943
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 3: think that they're not the valuable. It's just that the

944
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:34,640
Speaker 3: quarterbacks are eating up so much of the salary factor.

945
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:36,719
Speaker 3: There's not much money left. So someone's got to take

946
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:38,719
Speaker 3: the brunt of it. Now, it's the running back on

947
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:40,839
Speaker 3: as you say, it, probably be the wide receiver coming

948
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:41,320
Speaker 3: up next.

949
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:42,239
Speaker 2: That's the way it is.

950
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:45,360
Speaker 1: Yeah. I'll also add to that real quick linebacker. I

951
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:48,960
Speaker 1: think linebackers probably in some real trouble long term in

952
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:49,480
Speaker 1: the NFL.

953
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:51,879
Speaker 3: Okay, this is a bit one for fits right now.

954
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:55,040
Speaker 3: If you want to pick the MVP in the NFL

955
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 3: right now today on Fox Football Sunday.

956
00:39:58,160 --> 00:39:58,759
Speaker 2: Who would it be?

957
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 1: Too even close? Too is the MVP today. And by

958
00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:04,160
Speaker 1: the way, the hardest part about that is that we

959
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:06,240
Speaker 1: want to keep saying, yeah, but what about the health. Okay,

960
00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 1: we can't, what about ism? All the way through this season, too,

961
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:11,719
Speaker 1: is absolutely doing everything you could ask. I think he's

962
00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 1: gonna have a statement game against the Bills today. If

963
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:16,480
Speaker 1: I were making my power rankings, I got Miami at

964
00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:17,920
Speaker 1: the top. So I'm all in on two of being

965
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:19,799
Speaker 1: the MVP and Miami being the best team right now.

966
00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:22,759
Speaker 3: Okay, last, but not least, as the fired Michigan State

967
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:26,080
Speaker 3: football coach, mil Tucker returned to college coaching.

968
00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:29,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, at a smaller level because like the results on

969
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:31,480
Speaker 1: the field weren't good enough to justify his actions. That's

970
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:33,279
Speaker 1: a real reason he's being fired. Let's be real.

971
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:36,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's an ugly situation. And Mark d Antonio I

972
00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 3: saw him on the sidelines last night. I ought to

973
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:40,840
Speaker 3: believe he's back there, but we'll see what's going on.

974
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:43,359
Speaker 3: He's Jason Fitz, I'm Andy Furman, and they're good enough

975
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:45,920
Speaker 3: to win because to have their number, that and more

00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:22,600
Speaker 2: Okay.

992
00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:25,080
Speaker 3: I got a couple of questions because you can help

993
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:27,560
Speaker 3: me out here. You're well versed in music, you're well

994
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:29,480
Speaker 3: versed in sports, and I'm just a guy that likes

995
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:31,600
Speaker 3: to listen and soak up your energy and soak up

996
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:32,120
Speaker 3: your knowledge.

997
00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:32,359
Speaker 1: Okay.

998
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:37,760
Speaker 3: Do you believe in past performances against a team meaning anything?

999
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:38,040
Speaker 2: To me?

1000
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:40,600
Speaker 3: All that does is give good fot of the media

1001
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:43,880
Speaker 3: people you know, if you say that TEENA beat the

1002
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 3: Detroit Lions twelve times in the last ten years or whatever,

1003
00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:49,879
Speaker 3: it may be tied. Whatever does that mean anything when

1004
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:51,799
Speaker 3: they play today? I don't think I mean.

1005
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:55,360
Speaker 1: Squat, no, nothing. It doesn't mean anything at all because

1006
00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:58,920
Speaker 1: it doesn't really impact this roster, this staff, this coaching staff,

1007
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:01,920
Speaker 1: this quarterback situations like we do this all the time.

1008
00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:05,359
Speaker 1: I have no problem with speaking to dominance one team

1009
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:08,080
Speaker 1: over another. You know, it's like, hey, historically this team

1010
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 1: continues to beat this team. Okay, that just means that

1011
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:13,080
Speaker 1: historically this team has been better than that team. But

1012
00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:15,120
Speaker 1: what does that mean to anybody that's actually on the

1013
00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:17,400
Speaker 1: field or on the court during the time. Nothing. I mean,

1014
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:19,440
Speaker 1: that's a part of it that's really confusing to me

1015
00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:21,440
Speaker 1: when when you see some of the numbers, and we

1016
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:23,680
Speaker 1: see this a lot in like college basketball too, right

1017
00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:26,240
Speaker 1: where you'll see, well, this team has lost tex amount

1018
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:28,520
Speaker 1: in a row to this team. What does that matter

1019
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:30,960
Speaker 1: to the kids that are on the court tonight? Like nothing?

1020
00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:33,719
Speaker 1: And so whatever has happened we were talking about the

1021
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:36,680
Speaker 1: Broncos earlier, whatever has happened over the last several years

1022
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:40,200
Speaker 1: means nothing to Sean Payton right, there's so much roster

1023
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:43,000
Speaker 1: turnover every year in sports. I don't know why we

1024
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:45,480
Speaker 1: continue to look at past performance. You got to take

1025
00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:48,040
Speaker 1: that financial term where it's like past performance is not

1026
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:50,640
Speaker 1: indicative of future results, Like that's.

1027
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:52,880
Speaker 3: Got to be a horse and horse racing. It may

1028
00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:55,360
Speaker 3: mean something past performances.

1029
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:59,680
Speaker 1: I'll give you. Like an individual sport too, like tennis golf,

1030
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:02,279
Speaker 1: where it's just like, hey, it's me versus me or

1031
00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:05,200
Speaker 1: me versus you one on one. Sure that means something,

1032
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:06,720
Speaker 1: But in team sports means nothing.

1033
00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:10,080
Speaker 3: And what about one team having another team's numberright here

1034
00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:12,440
Speaker 3: and now? It's just say that all the time. Is

1035
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:14,879
Speaker 3: that true when you see that jersey of one team

1036
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:15,600
Speaker 3: you kind.

1037
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:17,080
Speaker 2: Of wilt a little bit? I don't think so.

1038
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:21,719
Speaker 1: No, I think what that's an oversimplification of sometimes the

1039
00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:25,279
Speaker 1: matchups are just bad, right Like so, I feel like

1040
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:27,759
Speaker 1: we should talk more in the NFL about matchups and

1041
00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:29,960
Speaker 1: how it matters, because we do it really well in

1042
00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:32,440
Speaker 1: the NBA. We just don't seem to focus as much

1043
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:34,719
Speaker 1: in the NFL on it. There are some teams that

1044
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:37,200
Speaker 1: are just a bad matchup for other teams, whether it's

1045
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:40,080
Speaker 1: because you're just not built to defend somebody that way,

1046
00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 1: whether it's because that team does something that's a little

1047
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:44,880
Speaker 1: different than you're used to seeing. Maybe this team A

1048
00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:48,080
Speaker 1: runs the ball really well. In Team B historically, it's

1049
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:50,680
Speaker 1: just had a hard time finding an interior defensive lineman

1050
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:53,400
Speaker 1: worth anything, right. So there are sometimes that it's just

1051
00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:56,560
Speaker 1: it's a bad matchup, and I'll buy that, Hey, these

1052
00:43:56,600 --> 00:43:58,719
Speaker 1: two teams haven't matched up well against each other for

1053
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:00,440
Speaker 1: a long time. I don't think that that's a team

1054
00:44:00,520 --> 00:44:03,120
Speaker 1: having another team's number, Like I don't think that anybody

1055
00:44:03,239 --> 00:44:06,880
Speaker 1: sitting on the sidelines for a team is sitting there saying, oh, well,

1056
00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:09,920
Speaker 1: you know we're playing that. We're playing Team X today

1057
00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:11,960
Speaker 1: and it just never seems to go our way, like

1058
00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:15,800
Speaker 1: at some level, that's fan mentality, not professional athlete mentality.

1059
00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:18,000
Speaker 3: I think this is a pretty good matchup two teams

1060
00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:20,520
Speaker 3: that I wanted to the Cincinnati Bengals at the Tennessee

1061
00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:22,960
Speaker 3: Titans today. The Titans, I didn't realize this since I

1062
00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:25,000
Speaker 3: went back and saw this. They are one in nine

1063
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:27,680
Speaker 3: in their last ten games, and last year the Bengals

1064
00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:30,600
Speaker 3: held Derrick Henry to thirty eight yards rushing in a

1065
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:34,240
Speaker 3: win in Tennessee as well, The Titans managed only ninety

1066
00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:37,959
Speaker 3: four yards last Sunday, lowest ever in the franchise history

1067
00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:41,000
Speaker 3: since they moved from Houston, only six first downs against

1068
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:43,000
Speaker 3: the Browns, and they were shut out of the end

1069
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:46,120
Speaker 3: zone for the second time in three weeks. However, again

1070
00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:49,400
Speaker 3: means nothing when they play today. Bengals need to win,

1071
00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:51,360
Speaker 3: Joe Burrow, not one hundred percent. Need to be a

1072
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:53,359
Speaker 3: good game. It really be a tough game. I love

1073
00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:57,200
Speaker 3: the defensive side of the ball on Tennessee, and I can't.

1074
00:44:57,560 --> 00:44:59,919
Speaker 3: It's very difficult for me to turn against my since

1075
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:02,239
Speaker 3: Andy Bengals. That's my home down team. That's where I'm

1076
00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:04,279
Speaker 3: at right now. But I think the Titans get him.

1077
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:06,319
Speaker 3: I think the Titans get him today by about by

1078
00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:06,920
Speaker 3: a field goal.

1079
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:09,680
Speaker 1: I really do. I think we have our first disagreement here.

1080
00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:13,520
Speaker 1: And I spent twenty plus years in Nashville. My first

1081
00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:15,759
Speaker 1: ever radio gig was one O two five of the

1082
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:19,920
Speaker 1: game in Nashville, Tennessee. So I got nothing but love

1083
00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:22,160
Speaker 1: for the city of Nationville. Not a Titans fan, nothing

1084
00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:24,640
Speaker 1: but love for the city of Nashville. That being said,

1085
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:28,560
Speaker 1: Titans fans, your offensive line is trash and there's just

1086
00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:31,600
Speaker 1: no nice way to put it, they invested some resources.

1087
00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:33,600
Speaker 1: They tried to get that offensive line turned around, but

1088
00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:36,400
Speaker 1: it has not been good. And Derrick Henry, while we

1089
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:38,719
Speaker 1: talk about Derek Henry all the time, Tasjay Spears has

1090
00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:42,040
Speaker 1: gotten a higher share REP share than Derreck Henry so far.

1091
00:45:42,120 --> 00:45:43,680
Speaker 1: And I keep thinking that this is the week that

1092
00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:45,919
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry is going to break out. But the fact

1093
00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:49,040
Speaker 1: is the offense for the Titans is abysmal. And what's

1094
00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:51,759
Speaker 1: interesting to me is that I respect Mike Vrabels so

1095
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:53,800
Speaker 1: much as a coach. I respect the Titans defense just

1096
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:56,800
Speaker 1: like you said so much in this situation. Joe Burrow

1097
00:45:56,840 --> 00:45:58,480
Speaker 1: not one hundred percent, but what they do last week

1098
00:45:58,480 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 1: they kept him in shotgun and they had him get

1099
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:01,920
Speaker 1: rid of the ball and you know, half a second

1100
00:46:02,040 --> 00:46:04,120
Speaker 1: so that he took his little contact as possible. I

1101
00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:06,239
Speaker 1: think that'll be the game plan year again. So the

1102
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:08,160
Speaker 1: Titans are going to have to cover really well. I

1103
00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:09,719
Speaker 1: don't think they're going to be able to get at

1104
00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:13,040
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow as much. I'm not sure the Bengals offense

1105
00:46:13,120 --> 00:46:15,160
Speaker 1: can be as dynamic with that calf injury. We got

1106
00:46:15,239 --> 00:46:17,160
Speaker 1: to remember that they like to push the ball down

1107
00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:19,200
Speaker 1: the field, which takes a lot out of your legs, right,

1108
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:21,839
Speaker 1: So I'm nervous about their ability to push the ball

1109
00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:24,520
Speaker 1: down the field. But if the Titans offensive line continues

1110
00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:26,320
Speaker 1: to play the way it has so far, I'm not

1111
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:28,359
Speaker 1: sure that the Titans could score on the Bears. They're

1112
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:30,960
Speaker 1: that bad offensively with that offensive line. So I have

1113
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:32,240
Speaker 1: no belief in the Titans.

1114
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:34,200
Speaker 3: I hear what you're saying, and it was uggly last

1115
00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:36,800
Speaker 3: week twenty seven to three. However, it'll be interesting to

1116
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:39,200
Speaker 3: see who gets more rushing yards today, Joel Mixon on

1117
00:46:39,239 --> 00:46:41,799
Speaker 3: the Bengals or Derreck Henry, which I think Derrick Kenry

1118
00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:46,200
Speaker 3: right now, a lot of that star power has rubbed off, certainly. Yeah,

1119
00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:48,520
Speaker 3: bad offensive line, not many holes front to run through.

1120
00:46:48,719 --> 00:46:50,319
Speaker 3: But I think the fact that he's carried the most

1121
00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:52,440
Speaker 3: so many times for so many years, I think that

1122
00:46:52,520 --> 00:46:53,759
Speaker 3: he's on the downside of his career.

1123
00:46:53,760 --> 00:46:54,160
Speaker 2: I really do.

1124
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:57,080
Speaker 1: This will be interesting because he's started slow in the

1125
00:46:57,120 --> 00:46:59,279
Speaker 1: past and then been able to ramp up. But man,

1126
00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:01,840
Speaker 1: I just don't know. This one feels different. And what

1127
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:04,560
Speaker 1: we have to remember is that we ask running backs

1128
00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:08,879
Speaker 1: to be superhuman, and then we expect superhuman results year

1129
00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:11,600
Speaker 1: in and year out. At some point. What a lot

1130
00:47:11,680 --> 00:47:13,359
Speaker 1: of the great running backs in the NFL are doing

1131
00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:16,120
Speaker 1: are masking deficiencies for their offensive lines in front of them.

1132
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:18,360
Speaker 1: At some point when just a little bit bit of

1133
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:21,200
Speaker 1: that juju like rubs off and they don't have it anymore. Now,

1134
00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:23,520
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, that offensive line is more exposed

1135
00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:25,080
Speaker 1: than the running back. Can't do as many things. They

1136
00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:26,759
Speaker 1: just can't be miracle workers all the time.

1137
00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:29,680
Speaker 3: Right this game, I gotta believe is going to be

1138
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:32,440
Speaker 3: the game of the day. Miami Dolphins undefeated at three

1139
00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:35,560
Speaker 3: and zero at the Buffalo Bills two and one. Dolphins

1140
00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:39,200
Speaker 3: got Look, you gotta pressure Josh Allen, There's no doubt

1141
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:41,279
Speaker 3: about that. But last week the Bills they had five

1142
00:47:41,360 --> 00:47:44,920
Speaker 3: forced turnovers. They had nine sacks against Washington. Can that

1143
00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:47,840
Speaker 3: repeat that again against Miami today? Von Miller is going

1144
00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:49,120
Speaker 3: to be returning in about two weeks.

1145
00:47:49,160 --> 00:47:49,680
Speaker 2: With Buffalo.

1146
00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:52,799
Speaker 3: Bill's won the last two games of this year by

1147
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:55,680
Speaker 3: the scores of seventy five to thirteen. The Dolphins have

1148
00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:58,680
Speaker 3: lost seven consecutive an eleven out of twelve in Buffalo. Again,

1149
00:47:58,880 --> 00:48:01,399
Speaker 3: what does it mean? Means garb which means nothing. Last week,

1150
00:48:01,480 --> 00:48:04,640
Speaker 3: the Davlas put up seventy seventy points in an NFL

1151
00:48:04,760 --> 00:48:07,520
Speaker 3: game against the Broncos. This game is going to be

1152
00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:09,640
Speaker 3: closer than one thinks. I don't think they're putting up

1153
00:48:09,640 --> 00:48:12,160
Speaker 3: seventy against Buffalo. But again, I gotta believe this is

1154
00:48:12,200 --> 00:48:12,879
Speaker 3: the game of the day.

1155
00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:15,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is, There's no doubt, And this is the

1156
00:48:15,680 --> 00:48:17,960
Speaker 1: ultimate prove it game for both teams early on in

1157
00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:22,080
Speaker 1: the season, because realistically, if you're the Dolphins, you went off,

1158
00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:24,200
Speaker 1: and there's no doubt about it, you have gone off.

1159
00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:27,000
Speaker 1: But you've also scored a lot of points against bad teams,

1160
00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:29,759
Speaker 1: and you did struggle a little bit against a bad

1161
00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:33,080
Speaker 1: Chargers team, and you struggled a little bit against the Patriots,

1162
00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:35,480
Speaker 1: and we always forgive those things, right, So this becomes

1163
00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:38,160
Speaker 1: the ultimate proven against a much better opponent. And if

1164
00:48:38,200 --> 00:48:41,239
Speaker 1: you're the Bills, frankly, you beat the snot out of

1165
00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:43,279
Speaker 1: Washington and that's fine. You beat the snot out of

1166
00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:45,600
Speaker 1: my beloved Raiders. That still hurts. But I think this

1167
00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:47,800
Speaker 1: has to be that moment where you show what you

1168
00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:50,800
Speaker 1: can do against a very good football team, right, And

1169
00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:54,000
Speaker 1: the key to playing the Dolphins, I think is patience.

1170
00:48:54,120 --> 00:48:56,080
Speaker 1: You got to understand if they're going to score in

1171
00:48:56,200 --> 00:48:59,160
Speaker 1: one play and just go ninety yards every single time. Okay,

1172
00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:01,600
Speaker 1: that doesn't the way you play your offense. And Josh

1173
00:49:01,680 --> 00:49:05,520
Speaker 1: Allen when he is patient, is almost unbeatable. Where Josh

1174
00:49:05,560 --> 00:49:07,480
Speaker 1: Allen has had problems for two years in a row

1175
00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:09,320
Speaker 1: now is when he starts to push the ball and

1176
00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:11,920
Speaker 1: get too aggressive and try to take chances he doesn't

1177
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:14,239
Speaker 1: need to take. He needs to understand in my mind

1178
00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:16,480
Speaker 1: that this is a patient game plan that at some

1179
00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:20,000
Speaker 1: point the ultimate goal is to keep Miami's offense off

1180
00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:22,120
Speaker 1: the field, and to do that, you're going to have

1181
00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:24,480
Speaker 1: to sustain drives, even if they don't result in points.

1182
00:49:24,719 --> 00:49:27,120
Speaker 1: You're just gonna have to sustain drives. You're gonna have

1183
00:49:27,160 --> 00:49:29,120
Speaker 1: to take what the defense gives you. You're gonna have

1184
00:49:29,200 --> 00:49:31,759
Speaker 1: to rely on little plays to keep things going. I

1185
00:49:31,800 --> 00:49:33,680
Speaker 1: think Josh Allen needs to be patient in this game,

1186
00:49:33,719 --> 00:49:35,960
Speaker 1: and if he isn't, this turns into a boat race.

1187
00:49:36,120 --> 00:49:37,920
Speaker 1: I think Miami can put points up on him. But

1188
00:49:38,040 --> 00:49:40,640
Speaker 1: if he is patient, this becomes the game of the

1189
00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:43,719
Speaker 1: game of the day, I should say. And also scheduling,

1190
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:46,000
Speaker 1: God's playing a nice little tip of the cap to

1191
00:49:46,080 --> 00:49:48,840
Speaker 1: Miami to get Buffalo this early in the year in Buffalo.

1192
00:49:50,239 --> 00:49:52,040
Speaker 1: That is a gift for Miami to not have to

1193
00:49:52,080 --> 00:49:53,640
Speaker 1: go to Buffalo in December.

1194
00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:54,360
Speaker 2: No doubt about that.

1195
00:49:54,480 --> 00:49:57,080
Speaker 3: You know, you put up seventy points and then you

1196
00:49:57,239 --> 00:49:59,560
Speaker 3: kind of pull the curtain back of it and say, well,

1197
00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:01,440
Speaker 3: what are they do? They have three unto twenty five

1198
00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:05,279
Speaker 3: yards rushing and passing, five touchdowns on the ground, five

1199
00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:08,520
Speaker 3: touchdowns in the air, totally odds over sixteen hundred and

1200
00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:14,520
Speaker 3: and get this, no, Jalen Waddle playing last week unbelievable.

1201
00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:18,480
Speaker 3: The Miami averaged ten point two yards per snap. That

1202
00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:21,080
Speaker 3: means every snap was more than a first down. It's

1203
00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:24,400
Speaker 3: unbelievable what they did last week. We may never see anything.

1204
00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:27,520
Speaker 1: Like that again. Yeah, and fantasy football players are gonna

1205
00:50:27,560 --> 00:50:30,200
Speaker 1: start going nuts at some point too, because you mentioned

1206
00:50:30,239 --> 00:50:33,359
Speaker 1: Waddle comes back, and that means that inevitably more share

1207
00:50:33,640 --> 00:50:36,239
Speaker 1: or more more split all the way around. I think

1208
00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:38,600
Speaker 1: the Dolphins are gonna be maddening for gamblers and for

1209
00:50:38,719 --> 00:50:41,520
Speaker 1: fantasy football players because they're all gonna realize across the

1210
00:50:41,560 --> 00:50:44,040
Speaker 1: board that this might be the week where Waddle goes off.

1211
00:50:44,120 --> 00:50:46,080
Speaker 1: This might be be the week where he'll goes off.

1212
00:50:46,120 --> 00:50:48,480
Speaker 1: This might be the week where moster goes off h

1213
00:50:48,680 --> 00:50:51,239
Speaker 1: N last week. You know, it's just going to be

1214
00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:54,000
Speaker 1: interesting to see because I think Miami's just gonna be

1215
00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:56,040
Speaker 1: able to put a different person every week. Is gonna

1216
00:50:56,040 --> 00:50:58,719
Speaker 1: be able to exploit whoever the third best corner is,

1217
00:50:58,880 --> 00:51:02,480
Speaker 1: or whoever the second best linebacker is. On every single team,

1218
00:51:02,520 --> 00:51:04,319
Speaker 1: They're gonna be a nightmare to stop unless you are

1219
00:51:04,719 --> 00:51:07,080
Speaker 1: sound and solid fundamentally defensively.

1220
00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:09,560
Speaker 3: Okay, now here's the question of the day. You know,

1221
00:51:09,719 --> 00:51:11,920
Speaker 3: back in nineteen seventy two of those Dolphins went undefeated.

1222
00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:15,480
Speaker 3: Theylways pop the champagne cork. You know, when no team whenever,

1223
00:51:15,520 --> 00:51:17,719
Speaker 3: when every team has lost the game, so they know

1224
00:51:17,800 --> 00:51:20,839
Speaker 3: their records intact. I'm looking at the Dolphins schedule this year.

1225
00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:23,600
Speaker 3: There's a chance to be undefeated. I mean they don't.

1226
00:51:23,640 --> 00:51:27,080
Speaker 3: They have a tough one on Christmas Eve home with Dallas.

1227
00:51:27,200 --> 00:51:29,480
Speaker 3: That's gonna be a toughie, all right. Other than that,

1228
00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:31,719
Speaker 3: I don't think, well, Kansas City, I have Kansas City

1229
00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:35,000
Speaker 3: November fifth, that's gonna be toughie as well. Other than that,

1230
00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:38,200
Speaker 3: I don't think there's gonna be any games, and today

1231
00:51:38,239 --> 00:51:40,919
Speaker 3: could be a challenge. But I do think they're gonna

1232
00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:44,440
Speaker 3: beat Buffalo in Buffalo today. Other than that, I think

1233
00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:47,719
Speaker 3: there's an outside chance, a pretty good chance actually, they

1234
00:51:47,719 --> 00:51:48,560
Speaker 3: could go undefeated.

1235
00:51:49,560 --> 00:51:52,000
Speaker 1: I think there's probably you mentioned Kansas City that'll be

1236
00:51:52,040 --> 00:51:54,520
Speaker 1: a tough one. Plus inevitably you just find out one

1237
00:51:54,600 --> 00:51:56,880
Speaker 1: week in the NFL where you don't show up cough Dallas.

1238
00:51:57,320 --> 00:51:57,520
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1239
00:51:57,600 --> 00:52:00,160
Speaker 1: But I do think that there's some element for or

1240
00:52:00,239 --> 00:52:03,880
Speaker 1: Miami that by mid season they will be working on

1241
00:52:04,040 --> 00:52:06,200
Speaker 1: what they think helps them the most in the postseason.

1242
00:52:06,640 --> 00:52:09,759
Speaker 1: I do believe that. And one thing that Mike McDaniel

1243
00:52:09,840 --> 00:52:11,920
Speaker 1: needs to do as a play caller is to remain

1244
00:52:12,080 --> 00:52:15,120
Speaker 1: somewhat committed to running the football because that is a necessity.

1245
00:52:15,200 --> 00:52:18,360
Speaker 1: It's not something there was necessarily commitment last year, and

1246
00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:20,320
Speaker 1: I think this year, between Most Dirt and eight HA,

1247
00:52:20,719 --> 00:52:23,360
Speaker 1: they're going to be exploring different exploring different ways that

1248
00:52:23,440 --> 00:52:25,560
Speaker 1: they can run the football week in and week out,

1249
00:52:25,719 --> 00:52:27,640
Speaker 1: which is going to be interesting to watch and also

1250
00:52:27,719 --> 00:52:30,520
Speaker 1: going to be important for them for wherever they're playing

1251
00:52:30,840 --> 00:52:32,800
Speaker 1: in December and January when they're trying to get to

1252
00:52:32,840 --> 00:52:33,399
Speaker 1: the super Bowl.

1253
00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:35,360
Speaker 3: Well, you made a great point earlier today and you

1254
00:52:35,440 --> 00:52:36,680
Speaker 3: talk you about you know, teams are not going to

1255
00:52:36,719 --> 00:52:39,120
Speaker 3: win without a quarterback, And certainly you do mentioned too

1256
00:52:39,239 --> 00:52:41,400
Speaker 3: that too is your MVP, and I agree. I think

1257
00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:43,319
Speaker 3: that if the MVP vote was today too, we will

1258
00:52:43,360 --> 00:52:46,399
Speaker 3: probably get the MVP vote. But there is not one

1259
00:52:46,560 --> 00:52:49,279
Speaker 3: man more important on that Miami team than Tua. I mean,

1260
00:52:49,320 --> 00:52:51,239
Speaker 3: you look at the San Francisco forty nine ers. I mean,

1261
00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:53,279
Speaker 3: their quarterback went down a year ago and they still

1262
00:52:53,320 --> 00:52:55,040
Speaker 3: were tremendous. I mean, and they got brocked.

1263
00:52:55,040 --> 00:52:55,200
Speaker 2: Part.

1264
00:52:55,239 --> 00:52:56,880
Speaker 3: They've got a lot of talent around them, but so

1265
00:52:57,000 --> 00:52:59,520
Speaker 3: does Miami. But I think the key for the Miami

1266
00:52:59,600 --> 00:53:02,440
Speaker 3: Dolphins and their success this year is a healthy Tuur.

1267
00:53:02,840 --> 00:53:05,200
Speaker 3: And honestly, you know, we saw what happened last year

1268
00:53:05,480 --> 00:53:08,279
Speaker 3: with those concussions. Hopefully they keep him up right, they'll

1269
00:53:08,320 --> 00:53:08,760
Speaker 3: be fine.

1270
00:53:09,360 --> 00:53:11,759
Speaker 1: Yeah. By the way, if he gets through this whole

1271
00:53:11,800 --> 00:53:14,239
Speaker 1: season healthy and everything's glorious for him and they look

1272
00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:16,640
Speaker 1: like the super Bowl type team that they could be.

1273
00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:19,239
Speaker 1: They get to the super Bowl with Tua getting through

1274
00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:22,239
Speaker 1: this year healthy and everything's glorious, that man is gonna

1275
00:53:22,239 --> 00:53:25,799
Speaker 1: get paid. Like there's just an element of as much

1276
00:53:25,800 --> 00:53:27,759
Speaker 1: as we've been talking about health and as risky as

1277
00:53:27,760 --> 00:53:30,320
Speaker 1: that can be, some ways, let's remember Tua is in

1278
00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:32,960
Speaker 1: that moment now where he's gonna be turning ound. He's

1279
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:35,080
Speaker 1: gonna be turning around and getting a huge extension if

1280
00:53:35,080 --> 00:53:37,360
Speaker 1: he gets through this year healthy. Everybody's just gonna have

1281
00:53:37,400 --> 00:53:39,400
Speaker 1: to accept that this is part of his past, not

1282
00:53:39,520 --> 00:53:41,720
Speaker 1: part of his future, and he's gonna get a massive

1283
00:53:41,760 --> 00:53:42,440
Speaker 1: bag of cash.

1284
00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:43,200

1302
00:54:33,120 --> 00:54:36,960
Speaker 3: and away we go talking football ball today on Sunday.

1303
00:54:37,080 --> 00:54:40,680
Speaker 3: There's nothing better there, really is. Your Sunday schedule certainly changes,

1304
00:54:40,920 --> 00:54:42,839
Speaker 3: you know, when the NFL season starts, doesn't. I mean

1305
00:54:42,880 --> 00:54:45,839
Speaker 3: to me, I wake up in an entirely different mood.

1306
00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:48,360
Speaker 3: I have nothing to do except watch football games.

1307
00:54:49,320 --> 00:54:52,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I mean there's a difference. There's it just

1308
00:54:52,280 --> 00:54:54,000
Speaker 1: hits different when you just get up and like, you

1309
00:54:54,120 --> 00:54:55,680
Speaker 1: know what your plan is going to be. Your plan's

1310
00:54:55,719 --> 00:54:57,000
Speaker 1: going to be to do one thing, and that's to

1311
00:54:57,080 --> 00:55:00,280
Speaker 1: watch football games. Although are you are you doing it anything?

1312
00:55:00,280 --> 00:55:01,800
Speaker 1: Why you are? Like you just to sit there with

1313
00:55:01,880 --> 00:55:04,440
Speaker 1: a notepad watcher or you sit there with the nopad watcher.

1314
00:55:04,760 --> 00:55:06,759
Speaker 1: Will you also have like a particular snack? Is there

1315
00:55:06,760 --> 00:55:07,360
Speaker 1: a ritual for.

1316
00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:11,000
Speaker 3: You depending upon the game? Sometimes really and truly if

1317
00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:13,120
Speaker 3: the game's really out of control. But I don't really

1318
00:55:13,160 --> 00:55:15,960
Speaker 3: take notes. I want to just enjoy the game, you know,

1319
00:55:16,120 --> 00:55:18,239
Speaker 3: because if I take notes, it's kind of like it's work,

1320
00:55:18,719 --> 00:55:20,680
Speaker 3: you know, and this really shouldn't be work.

1321
00:55:20,719 --> 00:55:21,120
Speaker 2: It's fun.

1322
00:55:21,560 --> 00:55:24,040
Speaker 1: Can I enjoy night? Can I confess something to you

1323
00:55:24,080 --> 00:55:25,800
Speaker 1: about how I watch The Raiders? I just I just

1324
00:55:25,880 --> 00:55:28,000
Speaker 1: need you to know. I'm gonna eat an entire box

1325
00:55:28,080 --> 00:55:30,080
Speaker 1: of donuts, and I'm gonna drink a case of diet

1326
00:55:30,160 --> 00:55:32,759
Speaker 1: root beer. Like it's just every game. It's entire box

1327
00:55:32,840 --> 00:55:35,440
Speaker 1: of double chocolate Donuts, and it's an entire case of

1328
00:55:35,480 --> 00:55:37,799
Speaker 1: sugar free root peer. It's called balance. No, I'm gonna

1329
00:55:37,800 --> 00:55:39,920
Speaker 1: go to I'm gonna go to the gym right after

1330
00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:42,960
Speaker 1: we finish the show to counteract this. But yeah, especially

1331
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:45,480
Speaker 1: Aid and O'Connell. Starting today, for my beloved Raiders, I'm

1332
00:55:45,520 --> 00:55:47,439
Speaker 1: going to I might get two boxes of donuts today.

1333
00:55:47,440 --> 00:55:49,000
Speaker 1: I don't know. I've never gone to the second box,

1334
00:55:49,040 --> 00:55:49,839
Speaker 1: but it might be that day.

1335
00:55:50,719 --> 00:55:54,279
Speaker 2: Unreal, I'm not I'm not that way. I'm not doing it.

1336
00:55:54,840 --> 00:55:56,360
Speaker 3: I don't think I can eat a box of donuts,

1337
00:55:56,360 --> 00:55:59,400
Speaker 3: to be honest with you. But we move on Bucks Saints.

1338
00:55:59,440 --> 00:56:02,080
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm need a bottle Legit to watch this game.

1339
00:56:02,160 --> 00:56:04,520
Speaker 3: But that's another story. Major question right now is going

1340
00:56:04,560 --> 00:56:06,359
Speaker 3: to be the health of the Saints quarterback Derek Carr

1341
00:56:06,520 --> 00:56:07,919
Speaker 3: with that shoulder. Haven't heard anything.

1342
00:56:07,960 --> 00:56:08,239
Speaker 1: I guess.

1343
00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:10,520
Speaker 3: I guess he's going to play the game time situation

1344
00:56:10,640 --> 00:56:11,399
Speaker 3: with Derek Caark.

1345
00:56:11,480 --> 00:56:14,800
Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, well, I'm seeing that they're saying

1346
00:56:14,880 --> 00:56:16,480
Speaker 1: that he's gonna try and give it a go. Is

1347
00:56:16,520 --> 00:56:18,320
Speaker 1: what you know? X is telling me. I don't know

1348
00:56:18,360 --> 00:56:19,800
Speaker 1: if I'm supposed to call it an extra twitter, but

1349
00:56:20,800 --> 00:56:22,520
Speaker 1: they're saying that he's gonna try and give it a go.

1350
00:56:22,680 --> 00:56:25,080
Speaker 1: But look, this is going to be an issue now,

1351
00:56:25,239 --> 00:56:26,960
Speaker 1: and that's just part of what you have to deal with.

1352
00:56:27,040 --> 00:56:29,080
Speaker 1: If you're Derek Carr, You're gonna take some hits, and

1353
00:56:29,120 --> 00:56:31,760
Speaker 1: he's taken some brutal hits and so far in this season,

1354
00:56:32,080 --> 00:56:33,360
Speaker 1: Derek Carr is gonna have to find a way to

1355
00:56:33,360 --> 00:56:35,239
Speaker 1: either push through this. So they're gonna have to figure out.

1356
00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:37,160
Speaker 1: You know, it's not like they don't have a capable

1357
00:56:37,239 --> 00:56:40,320
Speaker 1: backup in Jameis Winston. But when you combine that with

1358
00:56:40,360 --> 00:56:42,799
Speaker 1: the fact that Alvin Kamara is coming back, I feel

1359
00:56:42,840 --> 00:56:44,480
Speaker 1: like this is gonna be one of those games where

1360
00:56:44,719 --> 00:56:47,440
Speaker 1: the objective for Derek Carr, who's never been shy about, hey,

1361
00:56:47,520 --> 00:56:49,359
Speaker 1: I'll take what the defense gives me and hopes they

1362
00:56:49,480 --> 00:56:51,879
Speaker 1: hope they give me the game. I feel like he's

1363
00:56:51,920 --> 00:56:54,040
Speaker 1: going to be looking for Kamara constantly, just to try

1364
00:56:54,040 --> 00:56:56,120
Speaker 1: and keep his body out of harm's way if that

1365
00:56:56,200 --> 00:56:57,480
Speaker 1: shoulder's bothering him at all.

1366
00:56:58,040 --> 00:56:59,720
Speaker 3: Right, as far as the Bus are concerned, they couldn't

1367
00:56:59,760 --> 00:57:01,560
Speaker 3: run the one day, not against the Eagles, but honestly,

1368
00:57:01,719 --> 00:57:03,839
Speaker 3: who can. They turned it over for the first time

1369
00:57:03,880 --> 00:57:05,800
Speaker 3: this year. They were beaten in the trenches.

1370
00:57:06,080 --> 00:57:06,520
Speaker 2: For the Bucks.

1371
00:57:06,600 --> 00:57:09,040
Speaker 3: The good news is their wide receiver Mike Evans. He's

1372
00:57:09,040 --> 00:57:10,560
Speaker 3: got two hundred and ninety seven you odds to three

1373
00:57:10,600 --> 00:57:12,680
Speaker 3: touchdowns to date. But still, in all I think that

1374
00:57:12,960 --> 00:57:16,200
Speaker 3: with Derek Carr, maybe even eighty percent, they're good enough

1375
00:57:16,240 --> 00:57:16,520
Speaker 3: to win.

1376
00:57:17,360 --> 00:57:19,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, one hundred percent agree with you that they're good

1377
00:57:19,880 --> 00:57:21,840
Speaker 1: enough to I can't figure out. And this is, you know,

1378
00:57:21,920 --> 00:57:24,120
Speaker 1: the toughest part of the early part of the season.

1379
00:57:24,760 --> 00:57:26,840
Speaker 1: We're seeing these teams normalize and we're trying to figure

1380
00:57:26,840 --> 00:57:28,800
Speaker 1: out who's good and who's bad. So you mentioned who

1381
00:57:28,880 --> 00:57:30,960
Speaker 1: can run against the Eagles. I do think there is

1382
00:57:31,040 --> 00:57:34,000
Speaker 1: some element of what can we take away from a

1383
00:57:34,080 --> 00:57:35,920
Speaker 1: loss for the Bucks where they lost to a team

1384
00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:37,680
Speaker 1: that they should lose to. The Eagles are a better

1385
00:57:37,680 --> 00:57:40,480
Speaker 1: football team, right, So we're still sort of sitting here

1386
00:57:40,920 --> 00:57:42,919
Speaker 1: stunned that the Bucks have looked as good as they've

1387
00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:46,000
Speaker 1: looked at times, and reminded that with the weapons around him,

1388
00:57:46,440 --> 00:57:49,439
Speaker 1: you know, Baker's played well enough, right, So for the Bucks,

1389
00:57:49,480 --> 00:57:50,800
Speaker 1: you want to come in and show that you can

1390
00:57:50,840 --> 00:57:54,000
Speaker 1: be really competitive. For the Saints, this is the type

1391
00:57:54,000 --> 00:57:55,560
Speaker 1: of game you have to win if you are going

1392
00:57:55,640 --> 00:57:57,200
Speaker 1: to be the best team in a bad division. And

1393
00:57:57,520 --> 00:57:59,640
Speaker 1: that's frankly what the South looks like it's going to

1394
00:57:59,680 --> 00:58:02,880
Speaker 1: be to me division. So I think that there's every

1395
00:58:02,920 --> 00:58:05,440
Speaker 1: single week there's just sort of more more to the

1396
00:58:05,480 --> 00:58:08,040
Speaker 1: book report on the Saints. But I don't know what

1397
00:58:08,160 --> 00:58:09,400
Speaker 1: to make of the Bucks. Shit, I'm the first to

1398
00:58:09,480 --> 00:58:11,720
Speaker 1: admit that after three games they've surprised me, and I

1399
00:58:11,760 --> 00:58:13,360
Speaker 1: don't know what our real takeaway should be yet.

1400
00:58:13,640 --> 00:58:15,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm with you right there. You know you talk

1401
00:58:15,640 --> 00:58:19,240
Speaker 3: about surprises. The Vikings are owing three, the Panthers are

1402
00:58:19,280 --> 00:58:22,200
Speaker 3: rolling three. Vikings are out the Panthers today. Minnesota's owned

1403
00:58:22,200 --> 00:58:25,440
Speaker 3: three despite not losing any game by more than six points.

1404
00:58:26,400 --> 00:58:28,000
Speaker 3: You know, to me, if you lose by thirty five

1405
00:58:28,040 --> 00:58:30,480
Speaker 3: points or six points, he's still losing the game, but

1406
00:58:30,560 --> 00:58:32,960
Speaker 3: they were eleven to zero and one score games last year.

1407
00:58:33,200 --> 00:58:36,479
Speaker 3: The Vikings own three for the first time this twenty twenty.

1408
00:58:36,600 --> 00:58:41,160
Speaker 3: Despite get this wide receiver Justin Jefferson's twenty seven catches

1409
00:58:41,440 --> 00:58:43,640
Speaker 3: four to fifty eight yards and a touchdown. You know,

1410
00:58:43,720 --> 00:58:45,400
Speaker 3: you got to look at him as maybe the offensive

1411
00:58:45,400 --> 00:58:47,240
Speaker 3: player of the year right now because he's on pace

1412
00:58:47,520 --> 00:58:50,200
Speaker 3: for twenty six hundred receiving yards. Last week he had

1413
00:58:50,240 --> 00:58:52,200
Speaker 3: seven catches one hundred and forty nine yards in a

1414
00:58:52,240 --> 00:58:57,320
Speaker 3: touchdown and Kirk Cousins league high ninety six completions one

1415
00:58:57,360 --> 00:59:01,480
Speaker 3: thousand and seventy five yards, nine touchdowns. But the question here,

1416
00:59:01,720 --> 00:59:05,360
Speaker 3: will kirk Cousins finished the season with the Vikings so interesting?

1417
00:59:05,560 --> 00:59:07,920
Speaker 3: A lot of subplots in this game today. I like

1418
00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:09,120
Speaker 3: the Vikings though, I really do.

1419
00:59:09,640 --> 00:59:12,680
Speaker 1: Yeah well, and kirk Cousins is putting up the numbers

1420
00:59:12,760 --> 00:59:15,160
Speaker 1: and playing well. But then you also have that moment

1421
00:59:15,480 --> 00:59:17,280
Speaker 1: I can't get it out of my head, like I

1422
00:59:17,480 --> 00:59:20,080
Speaker 1: watched Staley try and lose the game for the Chargers

1423
00:59:20,120 --> 00:59:22,600
Speaker 1: by going forward on fourth and one and running the

1424
00:59:22,640 --> 00:59:25,080
Speaker 1: football when he hadn't run the football well during the

1425
00:59:25,240 --> 00:59:28,480
Speaker 1: entire game. At your negative twenty three right, So you're

1426
00:59:28,520 --> 00:59:31,440
Speaker 1: giving Kirk Cousins and the Vikings every opportunity to beat you,

1427
00:59:31,600 --> 00:59:34,760
Speaker 1: and I'm shook it to this moment that Cousins gets

1428
00:59:34,800 --> 00:59:37,680
Speaker 1: that first and goal and just doesn't spike the ball.

1429
00:59:37,800 --> 00:59:39,720
Speaker 1: It's the hardest part for me to figure out, because

1430
00:59:39,960 --> 00:59:42,600
Speaker 1: for all of the good that we've seen from Kirk Cousins,

1431
00:59:42,920 --> 00:59:45,360
Speaker 1: he actually made it more difficult for his team to

1432
00:59:45,400 --> 00:59:47,439
Speaker 1: win a football game. I think they should have won

1433
00:59:47,520 --> 00:59:50,120
Speaker 1: in the end by not spiking the football and just

1434
00:59:50,200 --> 00:59:53,160
Speaker 1: doing what a veteran quarterback does. I can't make sense

1435
00:59:53,280 --> 00:59:56,120
Speaker 1: of why Minnesota isn't good enough right now, but they

1436
00:59:56,400 --> 00:59:58,760
Speaker 1: just haven't been. It's like everyone talks about those one

1437
00:59:58,800 --> 01:00:01,200
Speaker 1: score games regressed to the means at some point. I

1438
01:00:01,320 --> 01:00:04,280
Speaker 1: get that, but I mean, Minnesota should have at least

1439
01:00:04,320 --> 01:00:06,280
Speaker 1: one on one win on the record, and they're taking

1440
01:00:06,320 --> 01:00:08,520
Speaker 1: on a Carolina team that I don't think is any good.

1441
01:00:08,760 --> 01:00:10,520
Speaker 1: So I think Minnesota wins this game.

1442
01:00:10,600 --> 01:00:13,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, you say, why isn't Minnesota doing better?

1443
01:00:13,280 --> 01:00:16,280
Speaker 3: I think they really truly missed Dalvin Cook. Their running

1444
01:00:16,320 --> 01:00:18,760
Speaker 3: game hurts, and again you're talking about all these yards

1445
01:00:18,800 --> 01:00:21,600
Speaker 3: that Kirk Cousins is completed with ninety six completions. It

1446
01:00:21,680 --> 01:00:24,240
Speaker 3: makes them sort of a one dimensional ball club. Forget

1447
01:00:24,280 --> 01:00:26,560
Speaker 3: about the defense. I just think that you have to

1448
01:00:26,640 --> 01:00:28,480
Speaker 3: have the running game that set up the passing game.

1449
01:00:28,840 --> 01:00:31,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm buying what they're selling there. You're right, And

1450
01:00:31,640 --> 01:00:34,360
Speaker 1: you know, it's kind of interesting that the Vikings, by

1451
01:00:34,400 --> 01:00:37,320
Speaker 1: their transactions this offseason, I think they told you that

1452
01:00:37,400 --> 01:00:39,360
Speaker 1: they expected to take a little bit of a step back,

1453
01:00:39,480 --> 01:00:43,040
Speaker 1: Like they let some people go, they extended younger contracts.

1454
01:00:43,800 --> 01:00:46,160
Speaker 1: It feels like the Vikings accepted that this was going

1455
01:00:46,240 --> 01:00:47,640
Speaker 1: to be a bridge year to me in a lot

1456
01:00:47,640 --> 01:00:51,160
Speaker 1: of ways. Now, it's interesting that they're playing better than

1457
01:00:51,240 --> 01:00:53,680
Speaker 1: their record, but their record is actually helping them if

1458
01:00:53,720 --> 01:00:56,240
Speaker 1: it is a bridge year. But the loss of Dalvin

1459
01:00:56,280 --> 01:00:58,200
Speaker 1: Cook at this point doesn't make a ton of sense

1460
01:00:58,240 --> 01:01:00,400
Speaker 1: because Madison was supposed to be an instant step in

1461
01:01:00,560 --> 01:01:03,200
Speaker 1: replacement and it just hasn't been that. Like they're just

1462
01:01:03,280 --> 01:01:05,280
Speaker 1: not running the ball the way that they can or

1463
01:01:05,360 --> 01:01:07,520
Speaker 1: they should. So I'm with you. I think it makes

1464
01:01:07,560 --> 01:01:09,520
Speaker 1: them one dimensional and really predictable.

1465
01:01:10,160 --> 01:01:13,200
Speaker 3: Andy Dalton was quarterbacking last week for Carolina. He threw

1466
01:01:13,240 --> 01:01:15,560
Speaker 3: for three hundred and sixty one yards a career high

1467
01:01:15,640 --> 01:01:18,080
Speaker 3: fifty eight attempts. You know what, if you want to

1468
01:01:18,160 --> 01:01:22,120
Speaker 3: do a statistical situation and look on Monday morning, if

1469
01:01:22,160 --> 01:01:24,800
Speaker 3: a quarterback has more than thirty five or forty attempts,

1470
01:01:24,920 --> 01:01:26,320
Speaker 3: there's a pretty good chance they're going to.

1471
01:01:26,320 --> 01:01:29,000
Speaker 2: Lose the game because they're forced to throw. Don't you agree?

1472
01:01:29,080 --> 01:01:29,600
Speaker 2: I surprise.

1473
01:01:29,640 --> 01:01:32,360
Speaker 3: No one's really done that stat Maybe they have. I

1474
01:01:32,480 --> 01:01:35,480
Speaker 3: haven't seen it, but thirty five to forty attempts or more,

1475
01:01:35,880 --> 01:01:38,080
Speaker 3: and then look at the final score, good chance that

1476
01:01:38,160 --> 01:01:39,040
Speaker 3: team lost the game.

1477
01:01:39,520 --> 01:01:42,400
Speaker 1: Well, and think about it earlier I simplified the Taylor

1478
01:01:42,400 --> 01:01:45,560
Speaker 1: Swift headline of just you know, super famous rich pop

1479
01:01:45,600 --> 01:01:48,840
Speaker 1: star sits in luxury sweet during game. Let me oversimplify

1480
01:01:48,880 --> 01:01:52,320
Speaker 1: the headline here, backup quarterback throws the ball too much? Right, like,

1481
01:01:52,480 --> 01:01:54,480
Speaker 1: I don't care that Andy Dalton's played a bunch in

1482
01:01:54,520 --> 01:01:57,400
Speaker 1: the NFL. Andy Dalton is a backup quarterback. And you know,

1483
01:01:57,480 --> 01:02:00,600
Speaker 1: Frank Reich is supposed to be in this position because

1484
01:02:00,680 --> 01:02:03,040
Speaker 1: A he's going to develop Bryce Young and B he

1485
01:02:03,200 --> 01:02:05,680
Speaker 1: knows what to do with quarterbacks. But can we start

1486
01:02:05,760 --> 01:02:08,760
Speaker 1: having honest conversations about what's happening now with quarterbacks under

1487
01:02:08,760 --> 01:02:10,720
Speaker 1: his watch? Because I didn't understand the play calling. I

1488
01:02:10,800 --> 01:02:13,200
Speaker 1: didn't understand the approach. I didn't understand why they were

1489
01:02:13,280 --> 01:02:16,080
Speaker 1: utilizing Dalton in that way. Like Andy Dalton is not

1490
01:02:16,160 --> 01:02:18,360
Speaker 1: Dan Marino, so let's stop treating him like he is,

1491
01:02:18,400 --> 01:02:20,120
Speaker 1: Like he's a backup quarterback, and they put way too

1492
01:02:20,200 --> 01:02:21,640
Speaker 1: much on his plate. My opinion in that.

1493
01:02:21,680 --> 01:02:24,960
Speaker 3: Game, I think Bryce Young. Reports say he's going to

1494
01:02:25,040 --> 01:02:27,160
Speaker 3: play today although he's got that bad ankle, But they

1495
01:02:27,200 --> 01:02:29,280
Speaker 3: say Bryce Sung will play. It's not about Dan Marino.

1496
01:02:29,280 --> 01:02:31,640
Speaker 3: I love those commercials that he may be playing again.

1497
01:02:31,680 --> 01:02:34,600
Speaker 3: With those glasses. He couldn't even see the plays on

1498
01:02:34,680 --> 01:02:36,120
Speaker 3: his wrist, right, have you seen those?

1499
01:02:36,800 --> 01:02:38,880
Speaker 2: I forgot what it's for. Is an insurance coming?

1500
01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:40,680
Speaker 3: I don't even know, but I know I saw the

1501
01:02:40,760 --> 01:02:44,000
Speaker 3: old timers and Dan Marino was right there and it

1502
01:02:44,080 --> 01:02:44,680
Speaker 3: looked pretty good.

1503
01:02:44,760 --> 01:02:47,120
Speaker 2: I just think Dan Marino.

1504
01:02:47,080 --> 01:02:50,120
Speaker 3: Never ever got the respect he deserved, simply because he

1505
01:02:50,240 --> 01:02:52,280
Speaker 3: never won a Super Bowl. But I still say that

1506
01:02:52,440 --> 01:02:54,960
Speaker 3: Dan Marino was the godfather of the forward pass when

1507
01:02:54,960 --> 01:02:57,440
Speaker 3: he started playing quarterback. That's when the game changed and

1508
01:02:57,560 --> 01:03:01,160
Speaker 3: started passing the ball big time. Marino and he doesn't

1509
01:03:01,160 --> 01:03:02,600
Speaker 3: get the credit he deserves.

1510
01:03:02,680 --> 01:03:05,240
Speaker 1: Which, by the way, I use him as an example

1511
01:03:05,280 --> 01:03:07,880
Speaker 1: a lot for the exact reason you just said. We

1512
01:03:08,080 --> 01:03:11,720
Speaker 1: constantly now in today's society have decided that life is

1513
01:03:11,840 --> 01:03:14,840
Speaker 1: championship or bust, and legacy is championship or bust, and

1514
01:03:14,920 --> 01:03:17,400
Speaker 1: you can't be a great player unless you won super

1515
01:03:17,600 --> 01:03:21,600
Speaker 1: Like I genuinely believe that if we were in modern times,

1516
01:03:21,640 --> 01:03:23,680
Speaker 1: if we were covering football back then like we cover

1517
01:03:23,760 --> 01:03:26,919
Speaker 1: football in modern times, I genuinely believe that Marino would

1518
01:03:26,920 --> 01:03:29,360
Speaker 1: have been trashed the entire time. And it's just a travesty,

1519
01:03:29,520 --> 01:03:32,040
Speaker 1: Like there's never gonna be a situation where I'm gonna

1520
01:03:32,040 --> 01:03:34,920
Speaker 1: put Trent Dilfer ahead of Dan Marino. In today's society,

1521
01:03:34,960 --> 01:03:36,240
Speaker 1: that's what we want to do, because well, you know,

1522
01:03:36,280 --> 01:03:37,360
Speaker 1: you gotta win the Super Bowl.

1523
01:03:37,480 --> 01:03:40,040
Speaker 3: No, I'm reading no Hall of Fame and that makes

1524
01:03:40,080 --> 01:03:43,360
Speaker 3: me crazy, and translate that to baseball, Arnie Banks would

1525
01:03:43,360 --> 01:03:45,080
Speaker 3: never be in the Hall of Fame then, really, I

1526
01:03:45,160 --> 01:03:46,160
Speaker 3: mean think about.

1527
01:03:45,920 --> 01:03:49,960
Speaker 1: It, and it's it comes back to like team sports.

1528
01:03:50,200 --> 01:03:52,480
Speaker 1: One person. When you got an active roster of fifty

1529
01:03:52,520 --> 01:03:54,840
Speaker 1: three players on every Sunday and you've got twenty two

1530
01:03:54,920 --> 01:03:58,640
Speaker 1: starters coming into this, I don't care who's playing quarterback.

1531
01:03:58,880 --> 01:04:01,520
Speaker 1: One person can win a team of Super Bowl one

1532
01:04:01,560 --> 01:04:04,320
Speaker 1: person could certainly help or hurt, but one person cannot

1533
01:04:04,440 --> 01:04:06,880
Speaker 1: single handedly win a team of Super Bowl. So let's

1534
01:04:06,920 --> 01:04:10,600
Speaker 1: stop it about talking about legacies like that's everything, because frankly,

1535
01:04:10,800 --> 01:04:12,080
Speaker 1: you can be the best in the world of what

1536
01:04:12,160 --> 01:04:14,080
Speaker 1: you do and still not win a Super Bowl.

1537
01:04:14,720 --> 01:04:16,920
Speaker 3: You're exactly right, you know what to me, let me

1538
01:04:16,960 --> 01:04:19,320
Speaker 3: see the numbers. It's all about the numbers for MVP,

1539
01:04:19,800 --> 01:04:21,520
Speaker 3: Hall of Fame, whatever it may be, you know, And

1540
01:04:21,560 --> 01:04:24,120
Speaker 3: you got a guy like Eli Manning, not tremendous numbers,

1541
01:04:24,160 --> 01:04:25,240
Speaker 3: but he won two Super Bowls.

1542
01:04:25,320 --> 01:04:27,400
Speaker 2: He'll be in the Hall of Fame. I find that

1543
01:04:27,480 --> 01:04:28,000
Speaker 2: to be a joke.

1544
01:04:28,080 --> 01:04:31,640
Speaker 1: I really do. My buddy John McClain that used to

1545
01:04:31,680 --> 01:04:33,560
Speaker 1: write for the Houston Chronicle, and John's been a friend

1546
01:04:33,600 --> 01:04:35,880
Speaker 1: for a long time, and John said to me years ago,

1547
01:04:36,240 --> 01:04:38,160
Speaker 1: he's a Hall of Fame voter, and he said, you know,

1548
01:04:38,320 --> 01:04:41,360
Speaker 1: to oversimplify sometimes you just got to ask yourself when

1549
01:04:41,400 --> 01:04:44,360
Speaker 1: the schedule came out, did every opposing fan base look

1550
01:04:44,360 --> 01:04:46,240
Speaker 1: at a team and say, oh my god, we have

1551
01:04:46,360 --> 01:04:48,680
Speaker 1: to take on that guy that's Hall of Fame? Like

1552
01:04:49,200 --> 01:04:52,280
Speaker 1: to oversimplify, there's this level of when I was a

1553
01:04:52,400 --> 01:04:54,760
Speaker 1: kid and you knew you were playing the Dolphins. Man,

1554
01:04:54,840 --> 01:04:57,160
Speaker 1: if your team didn't have a good secondary, you knew

1555
01:04:57,200 --> 01:04:59,200
Speaker 1: you were cooked because you were playing the Dolphins. And

1556
01:04:59,720 --> 01:05:01,720
Speaker 1: there there are some players in today's game that are

1557
01:05:01,840 --> 01:05:02,000
Speaker 1: like that.

1558
01:05:02,080 --> 01:05:02,240
Speaker 6: You know.

1559
01:05:02,320 --> 01:05:04,400
Speaker 1: I mentioned Miles Garrett earlier. I think if you're a

1560
01:05:04,520 --> 01:05:06,600
Speaker 1: fan and you see that you're taking on Miles Garrett

1561
01:05:06,960 --> 01:05:08,480
Speaker 1: right now, you're looking at it and saying, my god,

1562
01:05:08,520 --> 01:05:10,880
Speaker 1: how do we stop that guy? There have been plenty

1563
01:05:10,920 --> 01:05:13,200
Speaker 1: of quarterbacks and that when the schedule came out, how

1564
01:05:13,240 --> 01:05:14,800
Speaker 1: many people were sitting there saying, oh, man, we got

1565
01:05:14,880 --> 01:05:17,280
Speaker 1: to take on Eli this ooh, I don't know. I

1566
01:05:17,360 --> 01:05:19,480
Speaker 1: know the two Super Bowls. Everybody gets cranky about it,

1567
01:05:19,560 --> 01:05:21,800
Speaker 1: but you know, as a Raiders fan, I'll remind everybody

1568
01:05:21,840 --> 01:05:23,320
Speaker 1: that plunk It won some Super Bowls too.

1569
01:05:24,240 --> 01:05:25,080
Speaker 2: You're exactly right.

1570
01:05:25,320 --> 01:05:27,800
Speaker 3: He's Jason fitz if a bucket Brooks' main Defirman. By

1587
01:06:11,080 --> 01:06:16,240
Speaker 2: two up on Sam Burns through six. In the NFL,

1588
01:06:16,320 --> 01:06:19,320
Speaker 2: we have some injury updates for you, Adam Schefter saying

1589
01:06:19,360 --> 01:06:23,280
Speaker 2: that Derek Carr is expected to start versus the Bucks

1590
01:06:23,560 --> 01:06:27,080
Speaker 2: despite a sprained ac joined and barring a pregame setback,

1591
01:06:27,160 --> 01:06:32,200
Speaker 2: he'll be on the field for New Orleans. Other updates.

1592
01:06:32,440 --> 01:06:35,480
Speaker 2: Deebo Samuel he missed last week's game because of rib

1593
01:06:35,520 --> 01:06:38,480
Speaker 2: and knee injuries. He is expected to play versus the

1594
01:06:38,600 --> 01:06:42,760
Speaker 2: Cardinals today. However, Dwan Jennings and Elijah Mitchell not expected

1595
01:06:42,840 --> 01:06:47,560
Speaker 2: to take the field against the Cardinals. Jimmy Garoppolo still

1596
01:06:47,640 --> 01:06:50,680
Speaker 2: in concussion protocol, so he will not be playing today

1597
01:06:50,720 --> 01:06:53,840
Speaker 2: against the Chargers, and we thought, okay, Brian Hoyer the backup,

1598
01:06:54,080 --> 01:06:56,760
Speaker 2: we'd get the start, but no, Ian Rappaport's saying. The

1599
01:06:56,840 --> 01:07:01,360
Speaker 2: Raiders expected to start rookie quarterback Aiden O'Connell in the

1600
01:07:01,480 --> 01:07:07,120
Speaker 2: place of Jimmy Garoppolo Hollywood Brown, He's listed as questionable

1601
01:07:07,200 --> 01:07:10,080
Speaker 2: with a thumb injury. He's expected to play against the

1602
01:07:10,160 --> 01:07:13,120
Speaker 2: forty nine Ers. Same for Panther's running back Miles Sanders.

1603
01:07:13,400 --> 01:07:16,120
Speaker 2: He has a groin injury. He is expected to be

1604
01:07:16,400 --> 01:07:23,880
Speaker 2: on the field. Chase Claypool gonna be inactive today, so

1605
01:07:25,520 --> 01:07:29,360
Speaker 2: Chicago gonna go with Equanimius Saint Brown to take a

1606
01:07:29,440 --> 01:07:32,160
Speaker 2: spot on the roster for today. Tyson Baggett will be

1607
01:07:32,280 --> 01:07:36,160
Speaker 2: the new backup quarterback for Justin Fields. And just some

1608
01:07:36,240 --> 01:07:39,439
Speaker 2: quick college football scores from Saturday. Top Break Georgia wins

Speaker 3: Bona barrel. Benning coming up at about eight nine minutes

1622
01:08:14,440 --> 01:08:16,920
Speaker 3: from now. But right now we're talking about the Rams

1623
01:08:17,080 --> 01:08:19,120
Speaker 3: at the Colts. And how do you beat the Rams

1624
01:08:19,439 --> 01:08:24,960
Speaker 3: real easy? You contain wide receiver pa Nakuta, Puka Nakuta.

1625
01:08:25,120 --> 01:08:27,519
Speaker 3: He had five catches for seventy two yards Monday night

1626
01:08:27,760 --> 01:08:30,439
Speaker 3: in Cincinnati against the Bengals. And look, no sacks for

1627
01:08:30,479 --> 01:08:32,680
Speaker 3: the Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford. That's what you gotta do,

1628
01:08:32,880 --> 01:08:36,240
Speaker 3: because he was sacked six times Monday night against the Bengals.

1629
01:08:36,280 --> 01:08:39,040
Speaker 3: That's how you beat the La Rams. But today the

1630
01:08:39,160 --> 01:08:41,000
Speaker 3: Rams played the Colts. I don't think the Rams should

1631
01:08:41,000 --> 01:08:42,519
Speaker 3: have a problem against the Colts.

1632
01:08:43,360 --> 01:08:45,920
Speaker 1: The Colts are one of the surprises of the early

1633
01:08:45,960 --> 01:08:48,519
Speaker 1: portion of the season. For me, frankly, I thought they

1634
01:08:48,560 --> 01:08:51,000
Speaker 1: were going to be just dreadful, an abject disaster, and

1635
01:08:51,439 --> 01:08:54,840
Speaker 1: they have been really far more competitive. I'll give Shane

1636
01:08:54,880 --> 01:08:56,400
Speaker 1: Stike in the new head coach, a lot of credit.

1637
01:08:56,479 --> 01:08:58,400
Speaker 1: It feels like he's had the right offense from the

1638
01:08:58,479 --> 01:09:01,559
Speaker 1: outset for Anthony Richardson. And I'll give the organization credit

1639
01:09:01,640 --> 01:09:04,000
Speaker 1: for bringing in Gardner Minshew. Like having a strong backup

1640
01:09:04,080 --> 01:09:07,880
Speaker 1: quarterback is already it's apparent quickly in the season that

1641
01:09:08,000 --> 01:09:09,800
Speaker 1: you've got to have a number two on your roster

1642
01:09:09,920 --> 01:09:12,160
Speaker 1: you can trust. And the fact that Gardner Minshew was

1643
01:09:12,160 --> 01:09:14,160
Speaker 1: able to go in and execute the offense as well

1644
01:09:14,200 --> 01:09:17,080
Speaker 1: as he did. The Cardinals have been sneaky competitive obviously

1645
01:09:17,439 --> 01:09:19,479
Speaker 1: in every single at the Cardinals. The Colts have been

1646
01:09:19,479 --> 01:09:22,400
Speaker 1: sneaky competitive in every single game so far throughout the

1647
01:09:22,439 --> 01:09:25,439
Speaker 1: course of this year, and that means something. I mean,

1648
01:09:25,520 --> 01:09:27,639
Speaker 1: I did not think they would beat the Ravens last week.

1649
01:09:27,880 --> 01:09:29,680
Speaker 1: They did. It took a little bit of luck there

1650
01:09:29,720 --> 01:09:31,680
Speaker 1: at the end, but they still get that win. So

1651
01:09:31,840 --> 01:09:35,120
Speaker 1: for me, I think the Ravens are good. Lord Everere,

1652
01:09:35,160 --> 01:09:37,000
Speaker 1: the Colts are going to be the type of team

1653
01:09:37,320 --> 01:09:40,960
Speaker 1: that are going to keep games close that being said, Man,

1654
01:09:41,240 --> 01:09:43,800
Speaker 1: the Rams this year are better than we thought they'd be.

1655
01:09:44,080 --> 01:09:46,880
Speaker 1: And you mentioned Pokinakua, but I'll also say two two

1656
01:09:46,920 --> 01:09:48,960
Speaker 1: at well, like they got funny named wide receivers, they

1657
01:09:49,000 --> 01:09:51,439
Speaker 1: can get a bunch of yards in a bunch of ways.

1658
01:09:51,960 --> 01:09:54,320
Speaker 1: I think the Rams win this game. But at the

1659
01:09:54,400 --> 01:09:56,320
Speaker 1: same time, I'm looking over here sort of tip of

1660
01:09:56,360 --> 01:09:58,519
Speaker 1: the cap, because I feel like the Colts are far

1661
01:09:58,640 --> 01:10:01,200
Speaker 1: better than anybody myself and luted expected they would be.

1662
01:10:01,880 --> 01:10:04,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, and especially without Jonathan Taylor at their running back position.

1663
01:10:04,760 --> 01:10:07,200
Speaker 3: He's still sidelined. Anthony Richardson is supposed to play today

1664
01:10:07,200 --> 01:10:09,400
Speaker 3: for the Colts. Got to protect this guy. And look,

1665
01:10:09,479 --> 01:10:11,719
Speaker 3: without that run game, they just don't have the skilled

1666
01:10:11,760 --> 01:10:13,880
Speaker 3: players the Rams have. That's the end of the day, right,

1667
01:10:14,120 --> 01:10:15,960
Speaker 3: bottom line is they don't have all the skilled players

1668
01:10:16,000 --> 01:10:17,840
Speaker 3: the Rams do. And I'm surprised, like you are, that

1669
01:10:17,920 --> 01:10:19,400
Speaker 3: the Rams are going to be this good. I mean,

1670
01:10:19,520 --> 01:10:21,240
Speaker 3: they can be a playoff team.

1671
01:10:21,280 --> 01:10:24,240
Speaker 1: I think they should be, which, by the way, is

1672
01:10:24,600 --> 01:10:28,000
Speaker 1: sort of this reminder of trust. Sometimes inside the building

1673
01:10:28,040 --> 01:10:30,200
Speaker 1: they have a better sense than we do outside of it. Now,

1674
01:10:30,479 --> 01:10:32,519
Speaker 1: no coach is gonna come out and say, hey, we're

1675
01:10:32,560 --> 01:10:34,599
Speaker 1: gonna stink this year. Like I get that, no front

1676
01:10:34,600 --> 01:10:36,559
Speaker 1: office is gonna say that. But the Rams have been

1677
01:10:36,600 --> 01:10:39,160
Speaker 1: pretty confident in their plan from the outset, and we've

1678
01:10:39,200 --> 01:10:42,160
Speaker 1: been sitting around in general watching from the outside, saying, well,

1679
01:10:42,280 --> 01:10:44,360
Speaker 1: should they just get rid of everybody? Is Aaron Donald

1680
01:10:44,400 --> 01:10:46,280
Speaker 1: going to retire? Like what are they going to do?

1681
01:10:46,400 --> 01:10:48,000
Speaker 1: How are they going to be competitive? And you're right,

1682
01:10:48,360 --> 01:10:50,880
Speaker 1: right now, they look like a playoff caliber football team.

1683
01:10:51,040 --> 01:10:53,439
Speaker 1: Do they look like they're elite against the forty nine

1684
01:10:53,520 --> 01:10:55,240
Speaker 1: ers and teams like that? I don't think so, But

1685
01:10:55,360 --> 01:10:57,599
Speaker 1: there certainly look like they certainly look like they can

1686
01:10:57,640 --> 01:11:00,240
Speaker 1: score on anybody. They look like Sean McVay is still

1687
01:11:00,280 --> 01:11:02,839
Speaker 1: Sean McVeigh. Like there are things that we just started

1688
01:11:02,880 --> 01:11:04,720
Speaker 1: to take for granted and started to assume that the

1689
01:11:04,840 --> 01:11:06,760
Speaker 1: Rams were not going to be good at And guess

1690
01:11:06,800 --> 01:11:08,920
Speaker 1: what they still are because there's still a really well

1691
01:11:08,960 --> 01:11:11,479
Speaker 1: coached team that has a quarterback that's playing with confidence,

1692
01:11:11,520 --> 01:11:13,640
Speaker 1: that understands the system and knows what to do, and

1693
01:11:13,800 --> 01:11:15,840
Speaker 1: is making the best out of young wide receivers because

1694
01:11:15,840 --> 01:11:19,479
Speaker 1: there's so much experience and offensive minds in that organization.

1695
01:11:19,600 --> 01:11:21,800
Speaker 1: So I think the Rams have really shown to the

1696
01:11:21,880 --> 01:11:24,000
Speaker 1: world that they are built to handle the waves that

1697
01:11:24,120 --> 01:11:26,360
Speaker 1: come with being good here and being good there and

1698
01:11:26,439 --> 01:11:27,560
Speaker 1: how to make it last.

1699
01:11:27,880 --> 01:11:30,240
Speaker 3: Right, And look, I'm with you on that. I think

1700
01:11:30,280 --> 01:11:33,519
Speaker 3: the Rams win this game. But he took about tremendous minds.

1701
01:11:33,560 --> 01:11:35,599
Speaker 3: I'm talking about the Steelers game. The Steelers are two

1702
01:11:35,640 --> 01:11:37,800
Speaker 3: and one. There were the Texans one and two. One

1703
01:11:37,840 --> 01:11:40,120
Speaker 3: of I mean by that, whoever decided to do this

1704
01:11:40,240 --> 01:11:42,679
Speaker 3: today is somewhat of a genius. What am I talking about?

1705
01:11:42,920 --> 01:11:45,400
Speaker 3: The emotions are going to be tremendous today. As the

1706
01:11:45,479 --> 01:11:49,040
Speaker 3: franchise legend of the Texans, JJ Watt is going to

1707
01:11:49,040 --> 01:11:51,599
Speaker 3: be inducted into the team's Ring of Honor today. However,

1708
01:11:52,280 --> 01:11:54,479
Speaker 3: his little brother is going to be there and he

1709
01:11:54,680 --> 01:11:56,880
Speaker 3: probably going to try to spoil the day he plays

1710
01:11:56,920 --> 01:11:57,599
Speaker 3: for the Steelers.

1711
01:11:57,920 --> 01:11:58,519
Speaker 1: How do you like that?

1712
01:11:58,640 --> 01:12:01,320
Speaker 3: I mean, is that amazing. I'm sure the parents will

1713
01:12:01,320 --> 01:12:03,800
Speaker 3: be at that game as well. So JJ Watt's going

1714
01:12:03,880 --> 01:12:06,640
Speaker 3: to the Ring of Honor and TJ is going to

1715
01:12:06,680 --> 01:12:09,680
Speaker 3: be playing for the Steelers against him today, against his

1716
01:12:09,760 --> 01:12:10,720
Speaker 3: team's former team.

1717
01:12:10,920 --> 01:12:11,240
Speaker 2: Today.

1718
01:12:11,920 --> 01:12:13,680
Speaker 3: I think that the Steelers win this game. They're a

1719
01:12:13,720 --> 01:12:16,280
Speaker 3: better team. And I mentioned about this player of the

1720
01:12:16,320 --> 01:12:18,280
Speaker 3: week for the Texans. The player of the Week in

1721
01:12:18,320 --> 01:12:21,280
Speaker 3: the NFL the full back Andrew Beck. He returned the

1722
01:12:21,320 --> 01:12:23,400
Speaker 3: kickoff eighty five yards for a score while I was

1723
01:12:23,439 --> 01:12:25,240
Speaker 3: at the player of the week. This guy's two hundred

1724
01:12:25,240 --> 01:12:28,120
Speaker 3: and fifty five pounds the heaviest player in league history

1725
01:12:28,320 --> 01:12:30,679
Speaker 3: to score on a kickoff. Player of the Week last week.

1726
01:12:31,320 --> 01:12:33,479
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I'm with you one hundred percent of that.

1727
01:12:33,920 --> 01:12:36,439
Speaker 1: This is interesting too, because what little brother doesn't want us,

1728
01:12:36,520 --> 01:12:39,479
Speaker 1: you know, spoil their big brothers moment, right right, spoken

1729
01:12:39,600 --> 01:12:42,519
Speaker 1: is a little brother. I think that that's a fair thing,

1730
01:12:42,600 --> 01:12:46,920
Speaker 1: but it's it's for the Steelers. Let's be real. They

1731
01:12:47,400 --> 01:12:49,920
Speaker 1: took advantage of a bad Raiders defense last week and

1732
01:12:50,479 --> 01:12:52,800
Speaker 1: they started to look a little more competent, but they

1733
01:12:52,920 --> 01:12:55,560
Speaker 1: still didn't look good. I do think this is that

1734
01:12:55,760 --> 01:12:59,040
Speaker 1: interesting test of where are the Steelers. Are they actually

1735
01:12:59,120 --> 01:13:01,120
Speaker 1: going to be able to put together a competent offense

1736
01:13:01,160 --> 01:13:02,840
Speaker 1: this year? I don't think so. I'm with you. I

1737
01:13:02,880 --> 01:13:05,160
Speaker 1: think they get to win. But also, to use the

1738
01:13:05,240 --> 01:13:07,599
Speaker 1: dreaded term from college football, the eye test is going

1739
01:13:07,640 --> 01:13:09,800
Speaker 1: to matter every week right now. I still don't think

1740
01:13:10,000 --> 01:13:12,080
Speaker 1: as much as we love Canny Piickett in the preseason,

1741
01:13:12,240 --> 01:13:14,679
Speaker 1: Kenny Piickett doesn't look like he has a firm grasp

1742
01:13:14,760 --> 01:13:16,920
Speaker 1: on what he's doing right now. They can have all

1743
01:13:16,960 --> 01:13:20,720
Speaker 1: the weapons in the world, it just doesn't look right offensively.

1744
01:13:21,000 --> 01:13:23,880
Speaker 1: And if the Steelers can't get that offense right, there

1745
01:13:24,000 --> 01:13:25,719
Speaker 1: is no way they're going to be able to compete

1746
01:13:25,760 --> 01:13:27,880
Speaker 1: in that division or in the AFC. Like the AFC

1747
01:13:28,080 --> 01:13:30,360
Speaker 1: right now is so stacked with teams that can score

1748
01:13:30,400 --> 01:13:33,160
Speaker 1: twenty one points quickly. If you're not one of those teams,

1749
01:13:33,360 --> 01:13:35,120
Speaker 1: you better be able to make sure that nobody can

1750
01:13:35,200 --> 01:13:37,160
Speaker 1: score on you. You can be Cleveland and have that

1751
01:13:37,320 --> 01:13:39,599
Speaker 1: defense and say, hey, we may not have the offense

1752
01:13:39,680 --> 01:13:41,759
Speaker 1: yet that everybody else has, but we'll be just fine.

1753
01:13:42,000 --> 01:13:43,800
Speaker 1: I don't think the Steelers can say that right now.

1754
01:13:43,920 --> 01:13:45,720
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think they win the game. But this

1755
01:13:45,840 --> 01:13:48,120
Speaker 1: isn't just about wins and losses. This is about how

1756
01:13:48,160 --> 01:13:50,040
Speaker 1: does it look in the process as we try and

1757
01:13:50,120 --> 01:13:52,960
Speaker 1: evaluate whether or not the Steelers are truly competitive in

1758
01:13:53,000 --> 01:13:54,160
Speaker 1: the AFC playoff picture.

1759
01:13:54,560 --> 01:13:56,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that AFC newth is really going to stop

1760
01:13:56,439 --> 01:13:58,160
Speaker 3: showing the true colors to the next couple of weeks

1761
01:13:58,200 --> 01:14:01,120
Speaker 3: because after today, the Steelers play Baltimore next week, so

1762
01:14:01,200 --> 01:14:03,880
Speaker 3: things are gonna be jockeying around for a couple of weeks.

1763
01:14:03,920 --> 01:14:05,760
Speaker 3: But I will tell you this much. We're gonna see

1764
01:14:06,000 --> 01:14:07,479
Speaker 3: what kind of a I mean, look, I know what

1765
01:14:07,560 --> 01:14:09,680
Speaker 3: kind of coaching is. Mike Tomlin's great. He's a Hall

1766
01:14:09,720 --> 01:14:11,760
Speaker 3: of Fame coach. He got them in the playoffs last

1767
01:14:11,800 --> 01:14:13,720
Speaker 3: year by a nose, he really did. We'll see what

1768
01:14:13,760 --> 01:14:15,680
Speaker 3: he does this year. And again I'm with you. I mean,

1769
01:14:15,800 --> 01:14:17,920
Speaker 3: defense is gonna carry him. But how far could you

1770
01:14:17,960 --> 01:14:19,320
Speaker 3: get carried by defense?

1771
01:14:19,360 --> 01:14:19,800
Speaker 2: I think not.

1772
01:14:19,960 --> 01:14:22,120
Speaker 3: Jay Harris, he needs to be a key part of

1773
01:14:22,160 --> 01:14:25,240
Speaker 3: that offense running the football. I just don't know if

1774
01:14:25,280 --> 01:14:28,200
Speaker 3: he can. That's the problem. He is a heck of

1775
01:14:28,240 --> 01:14:30,599
Speaker 3: a runner, but is he that good enough to carry

1776
01:14:30,640 --> 01:14:32,320
Speaker 3: them all the way to a playoff? I don't know,

1777
01:14:32,400 --> 01:14:35,759
Speaker 3: Especially in that division. Can three teams make the playoffs

1778
01:14:35,920 --> 01:14:38,880
Speaker 3: in that division? Cleveland, Baltimore and Cincinnati, I don't know.

1779
01:14:39,760 --> 01:14:41,960
Speaker 1: I don't think so, only because there's gonna be so

1780
01:14:42,040 --> 01:14:44,560
Speaker 1: many there's gonna be a fight for the playoffs. The

1781
01:14:44,640 --> 01:14:46,960
Speaker 1: Chargers may not be good, any good, any good yet,

1782
01:14:47,160 --> 01:14:49,000
Speaker 1: but I'm still not gonna count him out. And then

1783
01:14:49,080 --> 01:14:51,320
Speaker 1: in the East, you've still got either the Dolphins or

1784
01:14:51,360 --> 01:14:53,080
Speaker 1: the Bills. Are gonna be looking at a wild card,

1785
01:14:53,200 --> 01:14:56,120
Speaker 1: so it's going to be really tough to make the playoffs.

1786
01:14:56,360 --> 01:14:58,439
Speaker 1: For three teams in one division to make the playoffs.

1787
01:14:58,840 --> 01:15:00,519
Speaker 2: I'm with you right there. But you do like the

1788
01:15:00,520 --> 01:15:02,960
Speaker 2: Steelers in a close one today to win in Texas.

1789
01:15:03,320 --> 01:15:05,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like the Steelers to win in Texas, but

1790
01:15:05,360 --> 01:15:07,439
Speaker 1: I don't. I think the story Monday will be the

1791
01:15:07,479 --> 01:15:10,120
Speaker 1: Steelers won, But are we still confident in them?

1792
01:15:10,320 --> 01:15:10,360
Speaker 5: No?

1793
01:15:11,120 --> 01:15:13,800
Speaker 3: Right, especially in Pittsburgh, that's what the story will be.

1794
01:15:13,960 --> 01:15:14,720
Speaker 2: You're right about that.

1795
01:15:15,000 --> 01:15:15,320
Speaker 1: All right.

1796
01:15:15,360 --> 01:15:18,759

Speaker 2: But we got a game to play. Let's do it.

Speaker 1: I'll put your brain to sleep betting.

1808
01:15:49,720 --> 01:15:52,120
Speaker 3: All right, Shay, say you got to explain the rules

1809
01:15:52,200 --> 01:15:55,000
Speaker 3: to Fitzie how you play bottom barrel betting because he's

Speaker 3: playing for Bucky.

1811
01:15:55,800 --> 01:15:58,200
Speaker 6: I guess right, Yeah, so we got Fits in for

1812
01:15:58,320 --> 01:16:00,880
Speaker 6: Bucky today. All right, So it's a pretty simple game.

1813
01:16:00,920 --> 01:16:04,759
Speaker 6: It's pretty easy. I'm gonna give you guys five different bets,

1814
01:16:04,800 --> 01:16:05,320
Speaker 6: and you guys.

1815
01:16:05,200 --> 01:16:07,600
Speaker 2: Are basically talking about who won last week, so.

1816
01:16:07,800 --> 01:16:10,759
Speaker 6: You actually won. Unfortunately you can't rub it in Bucky's

1817
01:16:10,760 --> 01:16:11,400
Speaker 6: face right now.

1818
01:16:11,880 --> 01:16:12,240
Speaker 1: Well I will.

1819
01:16:12,280 --> 01:16:14,000
Speaker 2: I'm gonna send him a telegram to London.

1820
01:16:14,160 --> 01:16:15,800
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, yeah, telegram you gotta love.

1821
01:16:15,880 --> 01:16:18,679
Speaker 1: Don't interrupt his tea time. He'll be very angry, right.

1822
01:16:19,360 --> 01:16:22,000
Speaker 6: But anyway, So yeah, you guys choose what you want

1823
01:16:22,040 --> 01:16:24,000
Speaker 6: in the bet. You take the person that you guys like.

1824
01:16:24,360 --> 01:16:27,400
Speaker 6: And the difference is these bets are gonna be bets

1825
01:16:27,400 --> 01:16:29,760
Speaker 6: that you've probably never seen, you've probably never bet on,

1826
01:16:30,400 --> 01:16:32,320
Speaker 6: or even a sport that you've never even known was

1827
01:16:32,360 --> 01:16:32,599
Speaker 6: a thing.

1828
01:16:33,080 --> 01:16:36,960
Speaker 3: So you ready, Oh yeah, all right, Fitzgals first, he's

1829
01:16:37,000 --> 01:16:38,559
Speaker 3: our guest, fitz Goals first.

1830
01:16:38,400 --> 01:16:40,840
Speaker 6: So fits you're going first. So with our first question

1831
01:16:41,080 --> 01:16:45,040

1838
01:17:05,320 --> 01:17:07,479
Speaker 1: and this is oh yeah, that's super easy. I'm taking

1839
01:17:07,560 --> 01:17:10,280
Speaker 1: Robbie Williams, like, there's no doubt about that, because Robbi

1840
01:17:10,320 --> 01:17:12,200
Speaker 1: Williams also happens to be the name of a pop

1841
01:17:12,280 --> 01:17:14,800
Speaker 1: star that made some great music that I really like,

1842

1844
01:17:19,479 --> 01:17:21,360
Speaker 2: I like the logic, I really do, but I'm gonna

1845
01:17:21,360 --> 01:17:24,400
Speaker 2: find it. I'm going with the other guy, really, Robert Wilkins.

1846
01:17:24,960 --> 01:17:27,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm going with Wilkins because he's probably related to

1847
01:17:27,120 --> 01:17:29,760
Speaker 3: Lenny Wilkins, who was a great basketball I like that.

1848
01:17:29,840 --> 01:17:31,599

01:17:54,920 --> 01:17:56,400
Speaker 1: name is Enrique Black.

1856
01:17:57,400 --> 01:18:01,240
Speaker 6: This is the first name is Herring cost and then

1861
01:18:12,800 --> 01:18:14,880

1863
01:18:17,120 --> 01:18:18,960
Speaker 3: I can't pronounce it. I can't spell it. The name

Speaker 3: going with a cost.

1866
01:18:22,360 --> 01:18:24,719
Speaker 2: All right, let's go so that Herring isn't the same person.

1867
01:18:25,320 --> 01:18:27,960
Speaker 2: That is the same person, but is a forge Fish.

1938
01:21:30,080 --> 01:21:32,400
Speaker 1: The year I moved to Nashville ninety six, right, I

1939
01:21:32,479 --> 01:21:34,640
Speaker 1: walk into this place in the Lower Broadway, which was

1940
01:21:34,720 --> 01:21:36,479
Speaker 1: very different back then. I walk in and I try

1941
01:21:36,520 --> 01:21:38,360
Speaker 1: on the cowboy hat for the first time of my life,

1942
01:21:38,400 --> 01:21:39,960
Speaker 1: because I you know, we got to fit the part.

1943
01:21:40,080 --> 01:21:42,439
Speaker 1: Yeah right, I put on the cowboy hat. The sales

1944
01:21:42,520 --> 01:21:45,160

1985
01:23:50,880 --> 01:23:55,000
Speaker 3: there are certain situations that need promotion. The National Football

1986
01:23:55,040 --> 01:23:56,000
Speaker 3: League doesn't need promotion.

1987
01:23:56,160 --> 01:23:59,280
Speaker 2: Did you not hear mister Burns tell you exactly the situation.

1988
01:24:00,040 --> 01:24:02,679
Speaker 2: I can have it played back to you again. Okay,

1989
01:24:03,160 --> 01:24:05,360
Speaker 2: I get it. I was married at a racetrack.

1990
01:24:05,560 --> 01:24:09,920
Speaker 3: We needed an opening night promotion had Latonia Racecourse in Florence, Kentucky.

1991
01:24:10,040 --> 01:24:10,639
Speaker 1: Back in the day.

1992
01:24:10,880 --> 01:24:13,040
Speaker 3: I told the general manager, I'll get married that night,

1993
01:24:13,160 --> 01:24:15,760
Speaker 3: and I did. Allay, we needed it. No, you know,

1994
01:24:15,960 --> 01:24:18,280
Speaker 3: in the scheme of things, in the pecking order of

1995
01:24:18,479 --> 01:24:23,000
Speaker 3: news in the Cincinnati Greatest Cincinnati Area Racetrack, horse racing

1996
01:24:23,360 --> 01:24:24,400
Speaker 3: was way down the list.

1997
01:24:24,640 --> 01:24:26,959
Speaker 2: It was pro SMOs, the Reds, it was the Bengals,

1998
01:24:27,080 --> 01:24:27,360
Speaker 2: it was.

1999
01:24:27,400 --> 01:24:30,479
Speaker 3: College sports, it was high school sports, and then maybe

2000
01:24:30,840 --> 01:24:34,120
Speaker 3: maybe horse racing. Okay, we got a bump when I

2001
01:24:34,200 --> 01:24:36,800
Speaker 3: got married that night. Okay, we made sports illustrated.

2002
01:24:36,880 --> 01:24:37,559
Speaker 2: It was a big deal.

2003
01:24:37,720 --> 01:24:40,760
Speaker 3: But the NFL it cheapens the product. When you got

2004
01:24:40,840 --> 01:24:44,640
Speaker 3: them inviting Taylor Swift to your games, it doesn't. It

2005
01:24:44,760 --> 01:24:47,200
Speaker 3: just disgusting, it really is. They don't need it.

2006
01:24:48,160 --> 01:24:52,160
Speaker 2: The Canadian Football League needs it. I've got Green Day

2007
01:24:52,240 --> 01:24:55,120
Speaker 2: at the Great Cup later on in November.

2008
01:24:55,160 --> 01:24:57,200
Speaker 1: Anyway, go ahead, I'm gon chime in on this to

2009
01:24:57,320 --> 01:24:59,720
Speaker 1: just say, first and foremost name drop shout out to

2010
01:24:59,760 --> 01:25:02,320
Speaker 1: my good buddy Matt Billingsley, who's been Taylor's drummer for

2011
01:25:02,720 --> 01:25:03,559
Speaker 1: most of her career.

2012
01:25:03,960 --> 01:25:06,280
Speaker 2: I made tickets for Ireland. Jason, we'll need to talk.

2013
01:25:06,720 --> 01:25:08,799
Speaker 1: I can't get you comps, but I can get you buys.

2014
01:25:08,880 --> 01:25:11,559
Speaker 1: Hit me up on the side. So here's the thing

2015
01:25:11,760 --> 01:25:13,479
Speaker 1: I would say to this. I have no like. I

2016
01:25:13,520 --> 01:25:15,840
Speaker 1: think it's a great story, right, but at some point

2017
01:25:15,920 --> 01:25:18,240
Speaker 1: you go from being a great story to stage five clinger.

2018
01:25:18,360 --> 01:25:20,360
Speaker 1: What I don't understand is why the NFL is now

2019
01:25:20,439 --> 01:25:22,840
Speaker 1: stage five plinger. Like it's cool to say, hey, she's

2020
01:25:22,880 --> 01:25:24,920
Speaker 1: here at the game. I don't really look forward to

2021
01:25:25,000 --> 01:25:28,440
Speaker 1: listening to Chris collins Worth make forced Taylor Swift analogies

2022
01:25:28,640 --> 01:25:30,519
Speaker 1: all night long.

2023
01:25:30,600 --> 01:25:33,439
Speaker 2: You know what a week better our Fox colleagues, and

2024
01:25:33,520 --> 01:25:36,280
Speaker 2: I love them both. They struggled with it last week

2025
01:25:36,560 --> 01:25:38,439
Speaker 2: as if they didn't know who she really was.

2026
01:25:39,479 --> 01:25:42,240
Speaker 1: But here's the thing, Like I've watched everybody, every single

2027
01:25:42,400 --> 01:25:45,760
Speaker 1: sports person that people I respect putting out videos using

2028
01:25:45,800 --> 01:25:47,720
Speaker 1: all the song titles and everything, and I'm like, guys,

2029
01:25:47,960 --> 01:25:50,280
Speaker 1: how thirsty are we for this? Like I get it.

2030
01:25:50,360 --> 01:25:52,640
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, yeah, that's really cool. She's if you

2031
01:25:52,840 --> 01:25:54,760
Speaker 1: show up at a party and Taylor Swift is there,

2032
01:25:54,960 --> 01:25:57,200
Speaker 1: you can react for like thirty seconds where you can

2033
01:25:57,240 --> 01:25:59,120
Speaker 1: be like, oh my god, I can't believe Tata's here, right,

2034
01:25:59,320 --> 01:26:01,120
Speaker 1: But at the end of that then you just got

2035
01:26:01,240 --> 01:26:02,800
Speaker 1: to normalize the whole thing and be like, yeah, no,

2036
01:26:02,880 --> 01:26:05,840
Speaker 1: it's cool, like Tellers hanging out in the Halloween party

2037
01:26:05,880 --> 01:26:07,960
Speaker 1: over there. Like you just gotta let it go at

2038
01:26:08,000 --> 01:26:08,320
Speaker 1: some point.

2039
01:26:08,360 --> 01:26:10,240
Speaker 3: That's where, right, here's the bottom line you want. The

2040
01:26:10,280 --> 01:26:13,240
Speaker 3: bottom line is Travis Kelcey is too stupid that he's

2041
01:26:13,280 --> 01:26:15,920
Speaker 3: being used by Taylor Swift because Taylor Swift holds on

2042
01:26:15,920 --> 01:26:18,519
Speaker 3: the NFL audience. Oh that's the bottom line, Travis, Travis

2043
01:26:18,600 --> 01:26:19,280
Speaker 3: Kelsey's an idiot.

2044
01:26:19,360 --> 01:26:22,680
Speaker 2: Travis Cosy's getting two thirds of every jersey sold for

2045
01:26:22,760 --> 01:26:25,439
Speaker 2: the last week. Andy Right, he just made millions and

2046
01:26:25,560 --> 01:26:28,320
Speaker 2: millions of dollars and people who had no idea who

2047
01:26:28,400 --> 01:26:30,840
Speaker 2: the hell he was, no matter how big he is

2048
01:26:30,920 --> 01:26:34,200
Speaker 2: in our world and whether he hosts Saturday Night Live

2049
01:26:34,280 --> 01:26:36,400
Speaker 2: or shows up on a bunch of commercials. He's just

2050
01:26:36,520 --> 01:26:39,360
Speaker 2: a guy. Now he's Taylor's guy now. Eventually he's going

2051
01:26:39,400 --> 01:26:41,680
Speaker 2: to be the subject of many a breakup song and

2052
01:26:41,800 --> 01:26:43,920
Speaker 2: it goes badly the other way, and he'll be the

2053
01:26:44,000 --> 01:26:48,040
Speaker 2: scourge of every teenage girl. But in the meantime, dude

2054
01:26:48,160 --> 01:26:50,880
Speaker 2: is making bank and his Q rating is off the charts.

2055
01:26:51,160 --> 01:26:52,040
Speaker 2: He was the face of the.

2056
01:26:52,160 --> 01:26:55,479
Speaker 3: NFL before, before Taylor Swift got involved. You know, talk

2057
01:26:55,640 --> 01:26:58,960
Speaker 3: up Pat Mahoons if you wont Travis Kelce. Today is

2058
01:26:59,040 --> 01:27:00,240
Speaker 3: the face of the NFL.

2059
01:27:00,400 --> 01:27:03,559
Speaker 1: And in case of the NFL cannot at all compete

2060
01:27:03,680 --> 01:27:07,479
Speaker 1: with the actual platform of this generation's Michael Jackson, which

2061
01:27:07,560 --> 01:27:10,120
Speaker 1: is exactly if you saw the videos of the last week,

2062
01:27:10,320 --> 01:27:12,479
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift was playing the football stadium that had a

2063
01:27:12,520 --> 01:27:15,040
Speaker 1: football stadium, with the people in the parking lot watching it.

2064
01:27:15,360 --> 01:27:19,080
Speaker 1: Her numbers far eclipsed with the NFL's entire number would

2065
01:27:19,080 --> 01:27:21,040
Speaker 1: get globally, but that Taylor Swift is the biggest.

2066
01:27:21,400 --> 01:27:24,240
Speaker 2: She's also doing an active charity to us, all guys.

2067
01:27:24,840 --> 01:27:27,000
Speaker 2: She showed up for a game against the Bears. Did

2068
01:27:27,080 --> 01:27:29,680
Speaker 2: anybody talk about how bad the Bears were all weak? No,

2069
01:27:29,840 --> 01:27:32,400
Speaker 2: it was about Taylor Swift showing up and Jared Payton

2070
01:27:32,479 --> 01:27:35,960
Speaker 2: being in the hallway son of Walter and getting that video.

2071
01:27:36,200 --> 01:27:38,800
Speaker 2: This week she showed up against the Jets. Are you

2072
01:27:38,920 --> 01:27:44,519
Speaker 2: I didn't have to Janny wore hits. How she's being

2073
01:27:44,600 --> 01:27:47,559
Speaker 2: removed in a popcorn machine. That's the stuff I don't

2074
01:27:47,560 --> 01:27:49,280
Speaker 2: want to hear. I don't need to hear that stuff.

2075
01:27:49,439 --> 01:27:51,920
Speaker 2: She's there, big whoop, she's there. Don't tell me how

2076
01:27:52,000 --> 01:27:53,760
Speaker 2: she got in, how she's getting out. I don't want

2077
01:27:53,760 --> 01:27:55,880
Speaker 2: to hear that stuff. That means you were spending a

2078
01:27:55,920 --> 01:27:59,000
Speaker 2: lot more time, Jason, when I and he spent more

2079
01:27:59,040 --> 01:28:00,760
Speaker 2: time on this than he's admitting to.

2080
01:28:01,520 --> 01:28:05,640
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, nobody wants my conspiracy theory on this,

2081
01:28:05,760 --> 01:28:08,720
Speaker 1: But Mike it if it's all the work, I think

2082
01:28:08,760 --> 01:28:10,280
Speaker 1: it's a work leading up to some sort of a

2083
01:28:10,360 --> 01:28:12,320
Speaker 1: Super Bowl ad and there's a company behind all of

2084
01:28:12,360 --> 01:28:14,680
Speaker 1: it that will put Kelsey and Taylor together for a

2085
01:28:14,760 --> 01:28:17,400
Speaker 1: Super Bowl ad. Remember she's so popular. She said no

2086
01:28:17,520 --> 01:28:18,320
Speaker 1: to the halftime show.

2087
01:28:18,400 --> 01:28:18,559
Speaker 2: Yep.

2088
01:28:18,680 --> 01:28:20,640
Speaker 1: If she if this is a work like this has

2089
01:28:20,680 --> 01:28:21,960
Speaker 1: gotta be for a lot of money.

2090
01:28:22,080 --> 01:28:23,840
Speaker 2: No, but that look, that doesn't have to be one

2091
01:28:23,920 --> 01:28:25,600
Speaker 2: hundred percent one thing or the other. Like it's the

2092
01:28:25,640 --> 01:28:27,599
Speaker 2: thing Smith that I have argued about all week. It's

2093
01:28:27,600 --> 01:28:30,200
Speaker 2: like they might like each other, might be cool hanging out,

2094
01:28:30,240 --> 01:28:32,599
Speaker 2: they've got some of the same management. All of these

2095
01:28:32,680 --> 01:28:35,479
Speaker 2: things doesn't mean that we we're going down the road

2096
01:28:35,560 --> 01:28:38,280
Speaker 2: to hey, maybe here's holy matrimony at the race course

2097
01:28:38,680 --> 01:28:42,839
Speaker 2: officiated by Andy Furman. It's the idea. It's the idea

2098
01:28:43,400 --> 01:28:45,400
Speaker 2: that you have the opportunity to get a pop and

2099
01:28:45,880 --> 01:28:50,040
Speaker 2: co brand the two biggest machines in our world, right

2100
01:28:50,200 --> 01:28:52,920
Speaker 2: the NFL and Taylor Swi. They announced Usher. We talked

2101
01:28:52,920 --> 01:28:55,720
Speaker 2: about it last week. It broke, you know, as we

2102
01:28:55,960 --> 01:28:59,400
Speaker 2: were doing some things last Sunday, and like, all right

2103
01:28:59,680 --> 01:29:02,639
Speaker 2: that it didn't matter. Carrie Underwood was the big guest.

2104
01:29:02,720 --> 01:29:04,639
Speaker 2: He was going to show up at Sunday Night football.

2105
01:29:04,680 --> 01:29:07,840
Speaker 2: Did anybody care? No, it was all about Taylor Swift.

2106
01:29:07,920 --> 01:29:10,160
Speaker 2: So you want to talk about co opting everything the

2107
01:29:10,280 --> 01:29:12,439
Speaker 2: NFL wants to do, Yeah, you lean into it. Today

2108
01:29:12,479 --> 01:29:14,760
Speaker 2: they're giving away friendship bracelets. I'm gonna do my best

2109
01:29:14,800 --> 01:29:16,599
Speaker 2: to get each of you one of those from the game.

2110
01:29:16,880 --> 01:29:21,120
Speaker 1: Oh please, do you know I'll work on those Dublin

2111
01:29:21,160 --> 01:29:21,640
Speaker 1: tickets for you.

2112
01:29:21,800 --> 01:29:24,360
Speaker 2: I appreciate that now, look, I pay, don't. I don't.

2113
01:29:24,520 --> 01:29:26,400
Speaker 2: I don't beg for freebies, Jason, That's the one thing

2114
01:29:26,439 --> 01:29:28,880
Speaker 2: about me. I'll pay. I did pay through the nose

2115
01:29:29,439 --> 01:29:31,519
Speaker 2: from my standing room only to see Taylor with my

2116
01:29:31,640 --> 01:29:33,920
Speaker 2: sequin jacket here in LA. But let's talk about the

2117
01:29:33,960 --> 01:29:36,960
Speaker 2: game itself. Kansas City eight and a half, BOYD favorites

2118
01:29:37,120 --> 01:29:40,040
Speaker 2: forty one and a half. Aaron Rodgers will be in attendance.

2119
01:29:40,080 --> 01:29:42,599
Speaker 2: As we surmised, he is a swifty so you knew

2120
01:29:42,600 --> 01:29:44,360
Speaker 2: he at least had to come make an audience. Is

2121
01:29:44,400 --> 01:29:46,680
Speaker 2: he also the play caller? Does he become the de

2122
01:29:46,800 --> 01:29:50,479
Speaker 2: facto coordinator tonight to try to get something out of

2123
01:29:50,600 --> 01:29:53,840
Speaker 2: Zach Wilson. I mean he saw the game.

2124
01:29:54,240 --> 01:29:56,280
Speaker 3: I'd like to see Joe namathshoba the game because he's

2125
01:29:56,320 --> 01:29:59,839
Speaker 3: the guys is killing Zach Wilson. Leave Zach Wilson alone.

2126
01:30:00,160 --> 01:30:02,599
Speaker 3: You know what, It's not his fault if the ball

2127
01:30:02,680 --> 01:30:05,960
Speaker 3: club keeps on rolling him out. His management's fulled right,

2128
01:30:06,120 --> 01:30:09,559
Speaker 3: think about that. Don't blame Zach Wilson. They gave him

2129
01:30:09,600 --> 01:30:12,519
Speaker 3: three freaking chances to be the quarterback of this team.

2130
01:30:12,760 --> 01:30:14,840
Speaker 3: In unlast year they were seven to four, and then

2131
01:30:14,880 --> 01:30:17,439
Speaker 3: he had that stupid news conference who said it wasn't

2132
01:30:17,439 --> 01:30:19,519
Speaker 3: his fault and he lost the team and they still

2133
01:30:19,560 --> 01:30:21,800
Speaker 3: wheel him back in. All right, get rid of him

2134
01:30:21,800 --> 01:30:23,559
Speaker 3: if you don't like him, but don't be bad now

2135
01:30:23,640 --> 01:30:24,080
Speaker 3: from the guy.

2136
01:30:25,200 --> 01:30:27,439
Speaker 1: He never should have been the backup quarterback coming into

2137
01:30:27,520 --> 01:30:30,080
Speaker 1: this year at all. They should have acquired somebody else.

2138
01:30:30,200 --> 01:30:33,040
Speaker 1: This is a summer mistake that's rearing its head in

2139
01:30:33,080 --> 01:30:35,439
Speaker 1: the fall. And the fact is they should have known

2140
01:30:35,479 --> 01:30:37,400
Speaker 1: that there was at least a situation where he could

2141
01:30:37,400 --> 01:30:38,800
Speaker 1: have been put into a game, because this is the

2142
01:30:38,880 --> 01:30:41,160
Speaker 1: modern NFL. I said earlier, he got to address your

2143
01:30:41,240 --> 01:30:43,679
Speaker 1: number two spot. They didn't address their number two spot.

2144
01:30:43,760 --> 01:30:45,519
Speaker 1: And now they're in a situation where a quarterback that

2145
01:30:45,640 --> 01:30:47,439
Speaker 1: likes to drop back twenty five yards and throw off

2146
01:30:47,479 --> 01:30:49,080
Speaker 1: his back foot to throw five yards in the air.

2147
01:30:49,400 --> 01:30:52,240
Speaker 1: Like it's just a bad situation. I don't think anybody

2148
01:30:52,320 --> 01:30:54,880
Speaker 1: could play call the way out of where this is.

2149
01:30:55,000 --> 01:30:57,280
Speaker 1: For Zach Wilson, it's in his head, it's in their heads.

2150
01:30:58,000 --> 01:31:00,559
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna get absolutely rolled. I've got Kansas

2151
01:31:00,600 --> 01:31:02,719
Speaker 1: City and the points in this one, and I'm confident

2152
01:31:02,800 --> 01:31:03,000
Speaker 1: on that.

2153
01:31:03,320 --> 01:31:05,960
Speaker 2: I have absolutely no reason to believe the Jets do

2154
01:31:06,080 --> 01:31:09,960
Speaker 2: anything unless they suddenly remember you know, at tricks work

2155
01:31:10,360 --> 01:31:12,680
Speaker 2: and your run game with Breise Hall, occasionally you have

2156
01:31:12,760 --> 01:31:14,360
Speaker 2: to throw the ball, put the ball in his gut

2157
01:31:14,640 --> 01:31:18,120
Speaker 2: and try to make something happen. But Rogers being there,

2158
01:31:18,800 --> 01:31:21,600
Speaker 2: like you spent a lot of money on him backup positions,

2159
01:31:22,160 --> 01:31:24,280
Speaker 2: you decided you couldn't. I mean, Mike White went and

2160
01:31:24,360 --> 01:31:26,960
Speaker 2: got good money down in Miami. Right, He's a nice

2161
01:31:27,000 --> 01:31:29,800
Speaker 2: insurance for Tua as we saw a little bit of

2162
01:31:29,880 --> 01:31:31,960
Speaker 2: him getting to throw it around last week in that

2163
01:31:32,080 --> 01:31:35,080
Speaker 2: debacle against Denver. They decided not to put more money

2164
01:31:35,080 --> 01:31:39,360
Speaker 2: in because they also tailored everything towards Aaron Rodgers outside

2165
01:31:39,360 --> 01:31:41,280
Speaker 2: of Garrett Wilson. What do you got a bunch of

2166
01:31:41,360 --> 01:31:44,559
Speaker 2: former Packers in their ninth lives like their damn cats.

2167
01:31:45,600 --> 01:31:47,360
Speaker 3: I will tell you this what Sean Payton was right.

2168
01:31:47,600 --> 01:31:48,960
Speaker 3: Nathaniel Hackett looks coming.

2169
01:31:48,920 --> 01:31:51,120
Speaker 2: Well, and Sean Payton looks like he should be back

2170
01:31:51,160 --> 01:31:52,160
Speaker 2: on a Fox couch.

2171
01:31:52,680 --> 01:31:55,040
Speaker 3: No, you're exactly rep but he's right about Nathaniel Hackett.

2172
01:31:55,360 --> 01:31:58,120
Speaker 3: Hackett looks lost and he looks too predictable through the

2173
01:31:58,200 --> 01:32:00,400
Speaker 3: first three weeks. There's no doubt about that, really, And

2174
01:32:00,479 --> 01:32:02,960
Speaker 3: maybe you're right, Maybe Aaron Rodgers.

2175
01:32:02,840 --> 01:32:04,680
Speaker 2: Is gonna call a place today. I don't know, if

2176
01:32:04,720 --> 01:32:07,360
Speaker 2: nothing else, maybe he's got some of those uh little

2177
01:32:07,439 --> 01:32:09,759
Speaker 2: things that he does in the off season, some mantras

2178
01:32:09,800 --> 01:32:11,640
Speaker 2: and stuff that can get Zach Wilson in the right

2179
01:32:11,680 --> 01:32:12,280
Speaker 2: frame of mind.

2180
01:32:13,160 --> 01:32:15,160
Speaker 1: I love the concept that we're like, hey, Zach, don't

2181
01:32:15,160 --> 01:32:16,960
Speaker 1: worry about practice this week. We're just gonna go to

2182
01:32:17,040 --> 01:32:18,720
Speaker 1: a dark space for three days and see if we

2183
01:32:18,800 --> 01:32:22,120
Speaker 1: can exercise your demons. I I don't know what would help,

2184
01:32:22,160 --> 01:32:25,000
Speaker 1: but maybe it's worth the shot. And nothing else is working,

2185
01:32:25,280 --> 01:32:26,120
Speaker 1: nothing else is working.

2186
01:32:26,280 --> 01:32:29,120
Speaker 2: I do like the Peyton U and Hacket thing, guys,

2187
01:32:29,320 --> 01:32:31,639
Speaker 2: I've long said it's now the Spider Man meme.

2188
01:32:32,360 --> 01:32:34,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe both of them are are living proof that

2189
01:32:35,080 --> 01:32:36,840
Speaker 1: coaching isn't as easy when you don't have a Hall

2190
01:32:36,840 --> 01:32:37,519
Speaker 1: of Fame quarterback.

2191
01:32:37,560 --> 01:32:40,280
Speaker 2: No. Yeah, And for old Sean, remember remember when he

2192
01:32:40,320 --> 01:32:43,360
Speaker 2: went after Hackett and everybody's like he's building up Russell Wilson. No, no, no,

2193
01:32:43,479 --> 01:32:46,920
Speaker 2: he set him up as the fall guys, fellas that was.

2194
01:32:47,120 --> 01:32:49,160
Speaker 2: That was before I said it, before the season. I

2195
01:32:49,240 --> 01:32:51,080
Speaker 2: say it now. It's like he's set it up because

2196
01:32:51,120 --> 01:32:52,760
Speaker 2: when it goes bad, it can't be on him. He's

2197
01:32:52,800 --> 01:32:53,840
Speaker 2: a super genius, right.

2198
01:32:55,479 --> 01:32:56,439
Speaker 1: That's it though.

2199
01:32:56,640 --> 01:32:58,680
Speaker 2: Next Sunday is the big one, the showdown. They were

Speaker 2: here on Fox. Welcome back in Fox Sports Radios, Fox

2214
01:33:44,280 --> 01:33:48,040
Speaker 2: Football Sunday, lathered up, ready to go get in there

2215
01:33:48,080 --> 01:33:51,720
Speaker 2: and sell, sell, Sell. We heard the promo for Major

2216
01:33:51,800 --> 01:33:55,799
Speaker 2: League Baseball playoffs on Fox. Mike Carbon alongside Andy Furman

2217
01:33:56,280 --> 01:33:59,160
Speaker 2: and our guy Jason Fitz joining us today as we're

2218
01:33:59,200 --> 01:34:02,400
Speaker 2: coming to you from the Tire Studios, and gentlemen, Andy,

2219
01:34:02,560 --> 01:34:04,759
Speaker 2: I go to you first, just a quick nod on baseball.

2220
01:34:05,120 --> 01:34:07,320
Speaker 2: I was really kind of hoping the Marlins were going

2221
01:34:07,360 --> 01:34:09,360
Speaker 2: to be able to tell major League Baseball to beat

2222
01:34:09,439 --> 01:34:12,280
Speaker 2: it about going back to see the Mets on Monday.

2223
01:34:12,960 --> 01:34:14,680
Speaker 2: But now they've written and said, well, you don't have

2224
01:34:14,760 --> 01:34:17,000
Speaker 2: to do that, right, it's too bad.

2225
01:34:17,080 --> 01:34:19,240
Speaker 3: Dumb With the Reds, I thought the Reds had a shot.

2226
01:34:19,280 --> 01:34:22,480
Speaker 3: I mean, no one expected anything about.

2227
01:34:22,200 --> 01:34:22,920
Speaker 2: The Reds this year.

2228
01:34:22,960 --> 01:34:25,679
Speaker 3: They're so cool, Experts saying they'd lose one hundred games,

2229
01:34:25,720 --> 01:34:28,360
Speaker 3: and you know, now, David bell Is one has had

2230
01:34:28,400 --> 01:34:30,280
Speaker 3: a winning record for the last four years of this

2231
01:34:30,400 --> 01:34:33,080
Speaker 3: ball club. And they were this close, see my fingers overhere,

2232
01:34:33,280 --> 01:34:36,639
Speaker 3: this close look getting to the playoffs. But they won

2233
01:34:36,800 --> 01:34:41,240
Speaker 3: big on Friday night. Yesterday they just collapsed, really fifteen

2234
01:34:41,240 --> 01:34:43,640
Speaker 3: to six. I think it was that Lise to Saint Louis.

2235
01:34:43,600 --> 01:34:44,080
Speaker 1: And that was it.

2236
01:34:44,160 --> 01:34:45,639
Speaker 3: But I went to the final day of the season,

2237
01:34:45,840 --> 01:34:49,240
Speaker 3: which is a great situation. However, that does not preclude

2238
01:34:49,280 --> 01:34:51,040
Speaker 3: that next year is going to be successful. And a

2239
01:34:51,120 --> 01:34:52,680
Speaker 3: lot of people are saying oh wait till next year

2240
01:34:52,760 --> 01:34:54,680
Speaker 3: is gonna be great. Yeah, it's a good foundation, but

2241
01:34:54,760 --> 01:34:55,840
Speaker 3: you never know what could happen.

2242
01:34:56,360 --> 01:34:58,320
Speaker 1: I think that's the toughest part, by the way of

2243
01:34:58,439 --> 01:35:00,479
Speaker 1: what we've watched over the course of the last few days,

2244
01:35:00,560 --> 01:35:02,680
Speaker 1: is that the reminder that when you're coming into this

2245
01:35:02,800 --> 01:35:05,080
Speaker 1: sort of a situation, you have multiple teams fighting for

2246
01:35:05,160 --> 01:35:08,599
Speaker 1: that last spot after the marathon that is Major League

2247
01:35:08,600 --> 01:35:11,639
Speaker 1: Baseball season. After you survive all of that, you take

2248
01:35:11,680 --> 01:35:14,320
Speaker 1: this collective side and you think, well, we'll get him

2249
01:35:14,360 --> 01:35:16,960
Speaker 1: next year, will you Like? The sport changes so much

2250
01:35:16,960 --> 01:35:19,200
Speaker 1: every year, and it was so unexpected that they would

2251
01:35:19,200 --> 01:35:21,880
Speaker 1: be that successful that it just feels like that's why

2252
01:35:21,960 --> 01:35:24,519
Speaker 1: you have to capitalize, I think more than any other sport.

2253
01:35:24,720 --> 01:35:26,759
Speaker 1: If you get through the marathon of Major League Baseball

2254
01:35:26,800 --> 01:35:29,600
Speaker 1: and you can't capitalize on it, it's really defeating for

2255
01:35:29,680 --> 01:35:32,800
Speaker 1: the organization, for fans, for everybody, because you want to say, hey,

2256
01:35:32,880 --> 01:35:34,960
Speaker 1: you know better than I expected. But then you realize

2257
01:35:34,960 --> 01:35:36,960
Speaker 1: you got to run that whole marathon all the way

2258
01:35:36,960 --> 01:35:39,360
Speaker 1: again and hope to God that you get a different answer.

2259
01:35:39,439 --> 01:35:42,200
Speaker 1: It's just it's deflating. I think. So I'm sort of

2260
01:35:42,240 --> 01:35:44,920
Speaker 1: I'm bummed for fan bases that are sitting out watching

2261
01:35:45,040 --> 01:35:46,840
Speaker 1: this expanded playoff happen the way it is.

2262
01:35:46,960 --> 01:35:49,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna, you know, just profess my love for

2263
01:35:49,840 --> 01:35:52,840
Speaker 2: Joey Vado here in this moment, not only because he's

2264
01:35:52,920 --> 01:35:56,320
Speaker 2: playing the narrator in SpongeBob, which is great, but for

2265
01:35:56,439 --> 01:35:59,400
Speaker 2: a great career, being a good dude and all of

2266
01:35:59,439 --> 01:36:01,280
Speaker 2: those things. And I don't know that he ever got

2267
01:36:01,320 --> 01:36:03,519
Speaker 2: the national shine to the way you should. But you

2268
01:36:03,600 --> 01:36:05,519
Speaker 2: guys have talked a lot about you know, when I

2269
01:36:05,600 --> 01:36:08,679
Speaker 2: was driving in I heard it talking about expecting different

2270
01:36:08,720 --> 01:36:12,360
Speaker 2: results whatever. As a white Sox fan who now got

2271
01:36:12,439 --> 01:36:15,280
Speaker 2: his one hundred losses, and Mark's wearing a white Sox

2272
01:36:15,360 --> 01:36:19,240
Speaker 2: hat our technical producer as well. It was good to

2273
01:36:19,240 --> 01:36:22,360
Speaker 2: see the Cubs eliminated as well, but something we can

2274
01:36:22,600 --> 01:36:26,240
Speaker 2: count on. And look, man, I root for all things

2275
01:36:26,320 --> 01:36:29,200
Speaker 2: Chicago except the Cubs. I'm a Southsider and that will

2276
01:36:29,280 --> 01:36:32,880
Speaker 2: never change. It was very painful to be working nights

2277
01:36:32,880 --> 01:36:35,560
Speaker 2: here at Fox Sports Radio. Look, I don't put the

2278
01:36:35,720 --> 01:36:37,559
Speaker 2: journalism tat I think as soon as you get into

2279
01:36:37,600 --> 01:36:41,000
Speaker 2: sports talk radio and sports television, that whole journalism thing

2280
01:36:41,160 --> 01:36:44,080
Speaker 2: kind of floats away a little bit. In terms of

2281
01:36:44,120 --> 01:36:46,439
Speaker 2: all of this, you become a carnival Barker. Don't kids yourself.

2282
01:36:46,680 --> 01:36:49,479
Speaker 2: But there are certain things that stay with you. The

2283
01:36:49,800 --> 01:36:53,599
Speaker 2: World Series when Joe Madden seemingly was making everything wrong

2284
01:36:53,720 --> 01:36:55,960
Speaker 2: by the books and it worked out, and then winning

2285
01:36:56,000 --> 01:36:59,160
Speaker 2: the World Series on my watch, that was some of

2286
01:36:59,240 --> 01:37:02,639
Speaker 2: the greatest act I've ever done. And I probably should

2287
01:37:02,680 --> 01:37:04,960
Speaker 2: have gone and tried to get my SAG card at

2288
01:37:05,000 --> 01:37:09,600
Speaker 2: that point with video imaging from our Fox Sports radio studios.

2289
01:37:10,560 --> 01:37:13,479
Speaker 1: I feel weird, though, I feel weird at this point.

2290
01:37:13,520 --> 01:37:15,880
Speaker 1: I spent years working with Sarah Spain, who is the

2291
01:37:15,920 --> 01:37:18,679
Speaker 1: biggest Cubs fan in the world. So now I'm sitting

2292
01:37:18,680 --> 01:37:19,840
Speaker 1: there and I'm like, I don't even know what to say.

2293
01:37:20,000 --> 01:37:22,600
Speaker 1: I'm I'm conditioned, like when you get out of a relationship,

2294
01:37:22,640 --> 01:37:24,280
Speaker 1: you know, like there's certain things you don't talk about.

2295
01:37:24,320 --> 01:37:26,320
Speaker 1: When you work with somebody for years it's a diehard

2296
01:37:26,400 --> 01:37:28,880
Speaker 1: Cubs fan. Now you work with somebody that's a diehard

2297
01:37:28,880 --> 01:37:31,160
Speaker 1: White Sox fans. I don't know what to do. I'm

2298
01:37:31,200 --> 01:37:32,760
Speaker 1: just gonna sit here in the corner while mommy and

2299
01:37:32,800 --> 01:37:34,960
Speaker 1: daddy fight and you guys, he not like I have

2300
01:37:35,080 --> 01:37:35,800
Speaker 1: no idea what to do.

2301
01:37:37,040 --> 01:37:39,360
Speaker 2: I'm with you you know you claimed their flame now

2302
01:37:39,439 --> 01:37:41,400
Speaker 2: with the Chicago Cubs as your manager was on Dancing

2303
01:37:41,439 --> 01:37:44,080
Speaker 2: with the Stars. I guess that's it. That's it, and

2304
01:37:44,200 --> 01:37:46,640
Speaker 2: you and you blew the opportunity because you know, wh

2305
01:37:46,680 --> 01:37:49,680
Speaker 2: whenever we do those percentage chances of getting in. I

2306
01:37:49,720 --> 01:37:51,880
Speaker 2: want to say it was three weeks ago they were

2307
01:37:52,000 --> 01:37:55,439

2318
01:38:25,439 --> 01:38:25,720
Speaker 1: Hit me.

2319
01:38:25,840 --> 01:38:29,000
Speaker 3: When you read that promo, it's at a professional gambler. Now,

2320
01:38:29,040 --> 01:38:31,200
Speaker 3: what does it mean he does nothing else bets a job?

2321
01:38:31,240 --> 01:38:34,160
Speaker 3: Because okay, so he's really good at it. If I

2322
01:38:34,320 --> 01:38:36,479
Speaker 3: bet as many games as he does during the week,

2323
01:38:36,680 --> 01:38:39,160
Speaker 3: but I still work at Fox, not make me a

2324
01:38:39,240 --> 01:38:40,160
Speaker 3: professional gambler.

2325
01:38:40,680 --> 01:38:43,479
Speaker 2: Well it does, but I mean, what are you tagging yourself?

2326
01:38:43,880 --> 01:38:44,080
Speaker 1: Yeah?

2327
01:38:44,439 --> 01:38:47,800
Speaker 2: Right, what's the primary source of income versus you know,

2328
01:38:47,920 --> 01:38:49,720
Speaker 2: you're doing it a little bit recreationally.

2329
01:38:50,320 --> 01:38:51,960
Speaker 3: And if he wills out his taxes the end of

2330
01:38:52,000 --> 01:38:54,280
Speaker 3: the year, he writes down, I'm a professional gambler.

2331
01:38:54,400 --> 01:38:57,639
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, yeah, See, that's that's where it all comes

2332
01:38:57,680 --> 01:38:59,519
Speaker 1: down to money. Life always comes down to money, right

2333
01:39:00,000 --> 01:39:02,280
Speaker 1: When you go see your tax guy and you fill

2334
01:39:02,320 --> 01:39:03,800
Speaker 1: out all your paperwork and they're like, what do you

2335
01:39:03,880 --> 01:39:06,679
Speaker 1: do for a living? When you have to submit the forms,

2336
01:39:06,720 --> 01:39:08,840
Speaker 1: and then you're like suddenly giving all the casino win

2337
01:39:08,960 --> 01:39:11,639
Speaker 1: loss reports and everything that you're in that professional game,

2338
01:39:11,680 --> 01:39:13,400
Speaker 1: It's like, hey, this was my main source of income,

2339
01:39:13,520 --> 01:39:15,240
Speaker 1: then you can claim it. I think. I think it's

2340
01:39:15,240 --> 01:39:15,720
Speaker 1: a tax thing.

2341
01:39:15,800 --> 01:39:17,479
Speaker 2: Well, I think the other thing is that our business.

2342
01:39:17,560 --> 01:39:20,120
Speaker 2: Everybody now professes to be some kind of wizard in

2343
01:39:20,240 --> 01:39:22,680
Speaker 2: terms of gambling. How many of them actually bet their

2344
01:39:22,720 --> 01:39:26,479
Speaker 2: own money? Probably few How many people actually win like

2345
01:39:26,600 --> 01:39:28,200
Speaker 2: they claim they do? Even fewer?

2346
01:39:29,320 --> 01:39:29,840
Speaker 1: How do you like that?

2347
01:39:30,040 --> 01:39:31,960
Speaker 2: There I am today.

2348
01:39:32,120 --> 01:39:35,040
Speaker 1: I'll loudly say I got my butt whooped yesterday by

2349
01:39:35,080 --> 01:39:36,720
Speaker 1: the way, like I went. You know, I do a

2350
01:39:36,760 --> 01:39:38,880
Speaker 1: lot with college football, so I got cocky in the

2351
01:39:38,960 --> 01:39:41,040
Speaker 1: last two weeks and I've been like, I know this sport,

2352
01:39:41,120 --> 01:39:42,920
Speaker 1: I know the sport in and out. I'm feeling pretty

2353
01:39:42,960 --> 01:39:45,439
Speaker 1: good about things, and I just got I mean, I

2354
01:39:45,520 --> 01:39:48,679
Speaker 1: got demolished two weeks ago on Notre Dame Ohio State.

2355
01:39:48,760 --> 01:39:51,920
Speaker 1: Then I got demolished yesterday on several games where you know,

2356
01:39:52,040 --> 01:39:54,040
Speaker 1: injuries and things went out. They Yeah, No, I'm just

2357
01:39:54,040 --> 01:39:55,320
Speaker 1: gonna let the world o LSU.

2358
01:39:56,520 --> 01:39:58,880
Speaker 2: Did you get the helper from James Franklin and the

2359
01:39:58,920 --> 01:40:02,200
Speaker 2: fake kneel down against Northwestern? Because he took care of

2360
01:40:02,280 --> 01:40:05,719
Speaker 2: his backers. He's also lucky his quarterback didn't get tagged

2361
01:40:06,439 --> 01:40:10,080
Speaker 2: after that. You know, he took care of his people.

2362
01:40:10,160 --> 01:40:12,280
Speaker 2: All right, let's get one game in before we go

2363
01:40:12,479 --> 01:40:15,240
Speaker 2: to Kevin Wyret because we talk about some things never

2364
01:40:15,400 --> 01:40:18,839
Speaker 2: really changing. Something's got to give in this one. Raiders

2365
01:40:18,920 --> 01:40:22,519
Speaker 2: and Chargers. All right, for the Raiders, Chargers in the

2366
01:40:22,600 --> 01:40:25,120
Speaker 2: line moved all of half a point or a point

2367
01:40:25,200 --> 01:40:27,240
Speaker 2: depending on where you're shopping. At least when I looked

2368
01:40:27,680 --> 01:40:30,840
Speaker 2: very early this morning, total sitting at forty eight AID

2369
01:40:30,840 --> 01:40:32,960
Speaker 2: and O'Connell, the youngster out of Purdue. And this is

2370
01:40:33,000 --> 01:40:36,960
Speaker 2: where my big ten honk stuff comes in here. I

2371
01:40:37,120 --> 01:40:39,759
Speaker 2: clamored for him to be the guy to be the backup,

2372
01:40:39,840 --> 01:40:43,680
Speaker 2: to be ready if Garoppolo were too. Well, let's face it,

2373
01:40:44,000 --> 01:40:48,160
Speaker 2: history repeats itself again to Jimmy Garoppolo's not available. Hopefully

2374
01:40:48,200 --> 01:40:50,599
Speaker 2: the concussion clears and he's back on the field soon.

2375
01:40:50,960 --> 01:40:54,320
Speaker 2: But this was you know, as we talk about inevitabilities.

2376
01:40:54,479 --> 01:40:56,680
Speaker 2: You've got the Chargers that'll do everything they can to

2377
01:40:56,760 --> 01:40:59,560
Speaker 2: give away games, even though it's twenty twenty three and

2378
01:40:59,600 --> 01:41:04,040
Speaker 2: we've an'st the calendar, same old Chargers. Jason Fitch, you're

2379
01:41:04,120 --> 01:41:06,320
Speaker 2: the Raiders fan. I will go to you first. What

2380
01:41:06,479 --> 01:41:09,000
Speaker 2: gives him this one? Will Josh Jacobs average more than

2381
01:41:09,000 --> 01:41:11,280
Speaker 2: two point four yards per carry, which is what he's

2382
01:41:11,280 --> 01:41:12,400
Speaker 2: averaging through three weeks.

2383
01:41:12,640 --> 01:41:14,800
Speaker 1: No, he will. And look, I'm the guy wearing a

2384
01:41:14,880 --> 01:41:17,240
Speaker 1: Raider's shirt and Raiders hoodie, Raiders' shorts with the Raiders

2385
01:41:17,280 --> 01:41:21,200
Speaker 1: tattoo right now. So look I'm already have this tattoo. Yeah, well,

2386
01:41:21,240 --> 01:41:23,599
Speaker 1: I have the outline of the shield with the American

2387
01:41:23,680 --> 01:41:25,200
Speaker 1: flag in it from when I got to play the

2388
01:41:25,280 --> 01:41:27,479
Speaker 1: national anthem on the fiddle for the Raiders when they

2389
01:41:27,520 --> 01:41:29,759
Speaker 1: were in Oakland, So it's like it was a landmark

2390
01:41:29,840 --> 01:41:31,960
Speaker 1: moment in my life. But look, I say all of

2391
01:41:32,040 --> 01:41:34,639
Speaker 1: that to say, I'm wildly excited to see Aidan O'Connell.

2392
01:41:34,840 --> 01:41:38,120
Speaker 1: I covered him extensively covering college football, and I thought

2393
01:41:38,120 --> 01:41:39,960
Speaker 1: he was great at Purdue. I thought he was undervalued

2394
01:41:39,960 --> 01:41:41,360
Speaker 1: coming out of the draft, and I think he can

2395
01:41:41,400 --> 01:41:43,640
Speaker 1: actually turn in to a pretty good pro So I

2396
01:41:43,720 --> 01:41:46,120
Speaker 1: think there's a real opportunity for excitement and hope. Young

2397
01:41:46,200 --> 01:41:49,720
Speaker 1: quarterbacks give you hope. The Raiders, though offensively, this is

2398
01:41:49,760 --> 01:41:52,559
Speaker 1: a very simple issue. The offensive line has been dreadful.

2399
01:41:52,640 --> 01:41:54,760
Speaker 1: I don't care what the pro football focused numbers will

2400
01:41:54,800 --> 01:41:57,040
Speaker 1: tell you. They've had to get rid of the ball

2401
01:41:57,240 --> 01:41:59,320
Speaker 1: so quickly to try and protect their quarterback, and they

2402
01:41:59,360 --> 01:42:01,679
Speaker 1: haven't been able to run. And as a result, teams

2403
01:42:01,720 --> 01:42:04,600
Speaker 1: basically knowing the Jimmy g can't press the defense have

2404
01:42:04,720 --> 01:42:06,880
Speaker 1: been playing right up on the line and Jacobs is

2405
01:42:06,920 --> 01:42:10,040
Speaker 1: getting hit before he even gets to the line of scrimmage.

2406
01:42:10,120 --> 01:42:12,920
Speaker 1: So when you talk about what they're facing here, the

2407
01:42:13,000 --> 01:42:15,439
Speaker 1: offensive line is the issue. The good news is no Bosa.

2408
01:42:15,560 --> 01:42:18,760
Speaker 1: No Bosa helps. Yes, yeah, no Austin Eckler. In this game,

2409
01:42:19,040 --> 01:42:21,960
Speaker 1: the Chargers are a shell of themselves. What I don't

2410
01:42:22,080 --> 01:42:25,160
Speaker 1: know right now is will Aidan O'Connell be able to

2411
01:42:25,560 --> 01:42:28,920
Speaker 1: process through everything, get through Josh McDaniel's complicated offense, and

2412
01:42:28,960 --> 01:42:31,000
Speaker 1: push the ball down the field. If he does that early,

2413
01:42:31,280 --> 01:42:33,160
Speaker 1: it will open up running lanes and the Raiders could

2414
01:42:33,200 --> 01:42:35,479
Speaker 1: look wildly different. I could tell you on behalf of

2415
01:42:35,560 --> 01:42:37,960
Speaker 1: Raider Nation. I think that there is about ninety eight

2416
01:42:38,000 --> 01:42:40,360
Speaker 1: percent of Raiders fans in the world that are hoping

2417
01:42:40,439 --> 01:42:42,639
Speaker 1: that this is the Wally Pitt moment and Aidan O'Connell

2418
01:42:42,680 --> 01:42:44,960
Speaker 1: turns out to be the next Brock Party. But that's

2419
01:42:45,000 --> 01:42:47,160
Speaker 1: the problem. Everybody thinks they got the next Rock Party,

2420
01:42:47,280 --> 01:42:50,000
Speaker 1: so you know, reasonable expectations. I just hope he plays well,

2421
01:42:50,040 --> 01:42:51,559
Speaker 1: and I can watch a young quarterback play well.

2422
01:42:51,640 --> 01:42:53,880
Speaker 2: If nothing else. The Raiders show up to a home

2423
01:42:53,920 --> 01:42:56,840
Speaker 2: game at so far later, more things change, more they

2424
01:42:57,000 --> 01:42:59,599
Speaker 2: say the same. You talked about the injuries. No Austin Eckler,

2425
01:42:59,720 --> 01:43:03,280
Speaker 2: no Derwin James. Right, we've seen this stack before. Mike

2426
01:43:03,360 --> 01:43:06,919
Speaker 2: Williams lost for the year and thoughts out to Corey Linsley.

2427
01:43:07,120 --> 01:43:10,280
Speaker 2: Hard issue takes him off the field. Look, they changed

2428
01:43:10,320 --> 01:43:12,599
Speaker 2: out their trainer. They're still having all sorts of issues.

2429
01:43:12,680 --> 01:43:17,120
Speaker 2: Lindsley's is an outlier, but training room and the number

2430
01:43:17,160 --> 01:43:20,880
Speaker 2: of injuries for the Chargers huge. Andy, what's say you

2431
01:43:21,000 --> 01:43:22,719
Speaker 2: hear to rain on your parade? Okay?

2432
01:43:23,240 --> 01:43:25,759
Speaker 3: And I didn't want to see aid and O'Connell quarterback today.

2433
01:43:25,880 --> 01:43:28,080
Speaker 3: I wanted to see them roll out Brian Hoyer, Okay,

2434
01:43:28,320 --> 01:43:30,280
Speaker 3: because it would have been sort of an anniversary because

2435
01:43:30,360 --> 01:43:34,240
Speaker 3: on the second of October in twenty sixteen, that was

2436
01:43:34,280 --> 01:43:36,639
Speaker 3: his last NFL start, all right. I wanted to see

2437
01:43:36,680 --> 01:43:39,040
Speaker 3: Brian Hoyer come out, see what he looked like. Okay,

2438
01:43:39,280 --> 01:43:40,920
Speaker 3: bring him out there today and he may very well

2439
01:43:40,960 --> 01:43:43,040
Speaker 3: play today again. But you know what, the Chargers just

2440
01:43:43,080 --> 01:43:44,599
Speaker 3: have too much on the offensive side of the ball.

2441
01:43:44,760 --> 01:43:46,320
Speaker 3: Their offense has been hot. And you know what, I

2442
01:43:46,320 --> 01:43:48,080
Speaker 3: don't think Justin Herbert is getting a lot of credit.

2443
01:43:48,200 --> 01:43:51,599
Speaker 3: I mean he's his clear completion percentage almost seventy five percent,

2444
01:43:51,760 --> 01:43:54,200
Speaker 3: like ninety for one twenty one thus four this year

2445
01:43:54,439 --> 01:43:56,760
Speaker 3: with a six touchdowns and no I nts. I just

2446
01:43:56,840 --> 01:43:59,000
Speaker 3: think that the quarterbacking right now is gonna be the difference,

2447
01:43:59,040 --> 01:44:01,720
Speaker 3: and honestly, I think that the Charges.

2448
01:44:01,400 --> 01:44:03,439
Speaker 2: Win, and they win maybe if I double digits. Yeah,

2449
01:44:03,479 --> 01:44:04,960
Speaker 2: Herbert I think gets a little bit of a free

2450
01:44:05,040 --> 01:44:08,160
Speaker 2: pass because in the final possessions of games when he's

2451
01:44:08,200 --> 01:44:11,000
Speaker 2: got a chance to seal a win. They've had some

2452
01:44:11,240 --> 01:44:13,960
Speaker 2: offensive issues the last couple of years. I mean, we're

2453
01:44:14,000 --> 01:44:17,360
Speaker 2: only three games week, that's great, and then they had

2454
01:44:17,400 --> 01:44:19,479
Speaker 2: the opportunity to kill the game and they didn't.

2455
01:44:20,040 --> 01:44:22,519
Speaker 1: I'll also throw in here, though, one thing that I

2456
01:44:22,560 --> 01:44:25,280
Speaker 1: think is important with what Ferman is saying. The Raiders,

2457
01:44:25,280 --> 01:44:26,840
Speaker 1: if you go back and watch their defense this year,

2458
01:44:26,880 --> 01:44:29,120
Speaker 1: are playing this really far back. We'll give up huge

2459
01:44:29,160 --> 01:44:31,479
Speaker 1: completion percentages. We're just going to try to limit big

2460
01:44:31,520 --> 01:44:34,400
Speaker 1: plays and touchdowns. It worked against the Broncos, but if

2461
01:44:34,400 --> 01:44:37,759
Speaker 1: you look every single week, they're giving up a completion

2462
01:44:37,920 --> 01:44:41,120
Speaker 1: percentage that is jarring, right, So I think you are right,

2463
01:44:41,240 --> 01:44:44,160
Speaker 1: like justin, Herbert's just gonna dink and dunk is way

2464
01:44:44,200 --> 01:44:46,000
Speaker 1: down the field eight to twelve yards at a time,

2465
01:44:46,360 --> 01:44:47,640
Speaker 1: and they'll be able to put up a lot of

2466
01:44:47,720 --> 01:44:49,600
Speaker 1: yards in this game. I don't doubt that'll all, which is.

2467
01:44:49,640 --> 01:44:52,599
Speaker 2: Good for your fantasy squad PPR leagues have some fun.

2468
01:44:52,720 --> 01:44:55,920
Speaker 2: Keenan Allen stats for days. Steve Disager, our colleague here

2469
01:44:55,960 --> 01:44:58,040
Speaker 2: at Fox Sports Radio. He does the home games. He

2470
01:44:58,160 --> 01:45:00,599
Speaker 2: walks around with a notebook that says Keenan and it's

2471
01:45:00,760 --> 01:45:05,479
Speaker 2: nine thousand pages thick. He's Jason Fitz that's Andy Ferman out,

2472
01:45:05,520 --> 01:45:08,240
Speaker 2: Mike Carmen. We'll continue looking at the games a week four.

2473
01:45:08,320 --> 01:45:10,320
Speaker 2: In just a moment, first we step out for some

2474
01:45:10,439 --> 01:45:14,040
Speaker 2: injury updates and news from our guy, Kevin Wyer. What's up, Kevin. Yeah,

2475
01:45:14,080 --> 01:45:16,640
Speaker 2: Today's the final day of the Ryder Cup. It's in

2476
01:45:16,720 --> 01:45:19,160
Speaker 2: action right now. The Europeans began the day with a

2477
01:45:19,240 --> 01:45:20,760
Speaker 2: ten and a half to five and a half lead

2478
01:45:20,880 --> 01:45:24,719
Speaker 2: over the Americans. The group furthest along John Rom, Scotti Scheffler,

2479
01:45:24,760 --> 01:45:27,599
Speaker 2: and it's Rom one up on Scheffler through thirteen holes,

2480
01:45:27,680 --> 01:45:31,320
Speaker 2: Victor Hovlin four up on Colin Morikawa. They are through twelve.

2481
01:45:31,520 --> 01:45:35,400
Speaker 2: Patrick Cantley two up on Justin Rose through ten. Roy

2482
01:45:35,479 --> 01:45:39,799
Speaker 2: McElroy three up on Sam Burns. They're also through ten holes.

2483
01:45:40,200 --> 01:45:42,560
Speaker 2: We do have some injury updates in the NFL for

2484
01:45:42,840 --> 01:45:46,800
Speaker 2: you today. Equanimia Saint Brown will be active today for

2485
01:45:47,000 --> 01:45:51,240
Speaker 2: the Bears because Chase Claypool will not be playing, so

2486
01:45:51,640 --> 01:45:55,920
Speaker 2: change that receiver there for the Bears. Claypool inactive for Chicago.

2487
01:45:56,920 --> 01:46:00,280
Speaker 2: Jimmy Garoppolo. It still has a concussion, so he will

2488
01:46:00,320 --> 01:46:02,759
Speaker 2: not be playing for the Raiders today against the Chargers.

2489
01:46:02,840 --> 01:46:05,000
Speaker 2: So we thought, okay, Brian Hoyer, we get the start,

2490
01:46:05,040 --> 01:46:08,240
Speaker 2: he's their main backup, But no. Ian Rappaport's saying that

2491
01:46:08,439 --> 01:46:11,920
Speaker 2: rookie Aiden O'Connell will be getting the start today for

2492
01:46:12,160 --> 01:46:17,000
Speaker 2: Las Vegas against the La Chargers. Another update from Ian Rapaport,

2493
01:46:17,080 --> 01:46:20,639
Speaker 2: Miles Sanders of the Panthers. He's questionable with a growin injury. However,

2494
01:46:21,040 --> 01:46:25,000
Speaker 2: he is expected to play today. Hollywood Brown expected to

2495
01:46:25,040 --> 01:46:27,880
Speaker 2: play today as well. He's been dealing with a thumb injury.

2496
01:46:28,400 --> 01:46:32,000
Speaker 2: Deebo Samuel also expected to be in the game against Arizona.

2497
01:46:32,160 --> 01:46:34,360
Speaker 2: He missed last week against the Giants with a ribbon

2498
01:46:34,439 --> 01:46:37,599
Speaker 2: knee injury, but he is able to go where He's

2499
01:46:37,600 --> 01:46:40,439
Speaker 2: expected at least to play this week. However, Elijah Mitchell

2500
01:46:40,960 --> 01:46:45,679
Speaker 2: not expected to play. Derek Carr, who many thought would

2501
01:46:45,720 --> 01:46:47,280
Speaker 2: be out for at least two or three weeks with

2502
01:46:47,360 --> 01:46:49,960
Speaker 2: a sprained ac joint, he is expected to play today

2503
01:46:50,040 --> 01:46:53,400
Speaker 2: to the surprise of many. That's barring a pregame setback.

2504
01:46:53,479 --> 01:46:57,640
Speaker 2: According to Adam Schefter, Tyler Higbee, listened as questionable for

2505
01:46:58,080 --> 01:47:00,760
Speaker 2: today due to an Achilles' injury, is expecting to play

2506

2514
01:47:27,840 --> 01:47:30,760
Speaker 2: get to our chicken and beer picks. Next segment, Go

2515
01:47:31,520 --> 01:47:35,200
Speaker 2: Mantriot said, Cowboys. All right, now, the Cowboys, what are

2516
01:47:35,280 --> 01:47:38,680
Speaker 2: they fellas? They beat up on a Giants team that

2517
01:47:38,880 --> 01:47:42,280
Speaker 2: is well really played two quarters of football to this

2518
01:47:42,439 --> 01:47:46,280
Speaker 2: point in the season, and the Jets, and I'll just

2519
01:47:46,640 --> 01:47:48,760
Speaker 2: leave that hanging there. I yell about it enough with

2520
01:47:48,960 --> 01:47:50,920
Speaker 2: my guy Jason Smith. During the course of the week,

2521
01:47:51,200 --> 01:47:54,080
Speaker 2: Dallas six point favorites at home forty three and a half.

2522
01:47:54,200 --> 01:47:57,599
Speaker 2: The total, Stevenson barely falling forward at two point nine

2523
01:47:57,680 --> 01:47:59,920
Speaker 2: yards per carry, Zeke in a bit of a homecome

2524
01:48:00,160 --> 01:48:02,719
Speaker 2: averaging four and a half, and the tight ends getting

2525
01:48:02,760 --> 01:48:06,599
Speaker 2: some work for Mac Jones, all sorts of speculation about

2526
01:48:06,680 --> 01:48:10,280
Speaker 2: him as old of the team. Bill Belichick under fire

2527
01:48:10,479 --> 01:48:14,519
Speaker 2: all the time. He commented on Travis Kelsey and Taylor Swift.

2528
01:48:14,600 --> 01:48:18,120
Speaker 2: So that was nice, but an opportunity here. Dallas last

2529
01:48:18,160 --> 01:48:21,160
Speaker 2: week got punched in the mouth repeatedly by James Connor.

2530
01:48:22,000 --> 01:48:25,360
Speaker 2: New England usually brings the defense to bear. How good

2531
01:48:25,400 --> 01:48:26,599
Speaker 2: are the Cowboys here?

2532
01:48:26,720 --> 01:48:29,680
Speaker 3: Andy Furman, Well, I'll tell you what defensive coin and

2533
01:48:29,680 --> 01:48:31,400
Speaker 3: at dan Quinn's got to kid up a mess on

2534
01:48:31,479 --> 01:48:34,559
Speaker 3: the Dallas Cowboys. Dallas hasn't solved their issue. They'd giving

2535
01:48:34,640 --> 01:48:37,080
Speaker 3: him over twour just sixty rushing yards a game, and

2536
01:48:37,120 --> 01:48:40,639
Speaker 3: I don't think that's gonna happen, you know, gonna stop today.

2537
01:48:40,840 --> 01:48:44,080
Speaker 3: I think that there's a possibility now that we're not

2538
01:48:44,160 --> 01:48:46,120
Speaker 3: going to think that Dallas is as good as we

2539
01:48:46,240 --> 01:48:46,800
Speaker 3: thought they were.

2540
01:48:46,920 --> 01:48:48,559
Speaker 2: Okay, they need the bounce back.

2541
01:48:48,640 --> 01:48:51,160
Speaker 3: This is a big game for them, really, because after

2542
01:48:51,240 --> 01:48:53,880
Speaker 3: beating both New York teams and falling on their face

2543
01:48:53,960 --> 01:48:56,559
Speaker 3: big time, twenty eight to sixteen in Arizona. This week,

2544
01:48:56,760 --> 01:48:59,240
Speaker 3: I think everybody started to saying, well, wait, wait a minute,

2545
01:48:59,439 --> 01:49:01,519
Speaker 3: maybe this is the super Bowl team we thought it

2546
01:49:01,520 --> 01:49:03,320
Speaker 3: would be. So we'll see what's gonna happen right now.

2547
01:49:03,720 --> 01:49:06,599
Speaker 3: I think Dallas needs to bounce back if they want

2548
01:49:06,600 --> 01:49:09,360
Speaker 3: to have these aspirations for the season to go deep

2549
01:49:09,439 --> 01:49:12,080
Speaker 3: in the playoffs. And the offensive line should be in

2550
01:49:12,160 --> 01:49:14,320
Speaker 3: better shape. It better be in better shape today.

2551
01:49:14,400 --> 01:49:16,439
Speaker 2: We'll see what they do. I like the Patriots. I

2552
01:49:16,600 --> 01:49:17,680
Speaker 2: like the Patriots in this game.

2553
01:49:17,720 --> 01:49:18,120
Speaker 1: I really do.

2554
01:49:18,320 --> 01:49:18,840
Speaker 2: And I'll tell you what.

2555
01:49:18,880 --> 01:49:20,639
Speaker 3: I'll take the seven points if that's the spread.

2556
01:49:21,320 --> 01:49:23,880
Speaker 1: Oh. I do not like the Patriots in this game.

2557
01:49:24,439 --> 01:49:26,680
Speaker 1: I do not like the Patriots at all. I do

2558
01:49:26,840 --> 01:49:29,040
Speaker 1: not believe in mac Jones at all. I believe the

2559
01:49:29,120 --> 01:49:31,840
Speaker 1: Patriots are at best a mediocre football team at best.

2560
01:49:32,280 --> 01:49:34,920
Speaker 1: And realistically, the Cowboys went out last week and they

2561
01:49:34,960 --> 01:49:37,000
Speaker 1: got their bus kicked. There's no doubt about it. The

2562
01:49:37,080 --> 01:49:40,120
Speaker 1: way they lost is concerning. Frankly, that they were dominated

2563
01:49:40,160 --> 01:49:42,839
Speaker 1: on the line of scrimmage is something that I can't unsee.

2564
01:49:42,880 --> 01:49:45,240
Speaker 1: I won't take anything away from that, like the Cardinals

2565
01:49:45,320 --> 01:49:47,840
Speaker 1: doing that to you. But there are gonna be games

2566
01:49:47,880 --> 01:49:49,320
Speaker 1: in the course of an NFL season where you come

2567
01:49:49,360 --> 01:49:51,040
Speaker 1: out flat. I'm a little concerned with the fact that

2568
01:49:51,280 --> 01:49:54,320
Speaker 1: they were run on so hard by a bad football team. Yes,

2569
01:49:54,560 --> 01:49:56,360
Speaker 1: but at the end of the day, if you look

2570
01:49:56,400 --> 01:49:59,240
Speaker 1: at the talent, which by the way, was accumulated by Belichick,

2571
01:49:59,360 --> 01:50:01,679
Speaker 1: and you put it all and you just match talent

2572
01:50:01,760 --> 01:50:04,160
Speaker 1: to talent, there's a distinct edge to the Cowboys. If

2573
01:50:04,160 --> 01:50:07,080
Speaker 1: you match quarterback to quarterback, it's a joke of a conversation, right,

2574
01:50:07,360 --> 01:50:09,920
Speaker 1: if you match all of these things across. I do

2575
01:50:10,080 --> 01:50:12,480
Speaker 1: not believe that Bill Belichick can be the great equalizer

2576
01:50:12,560 --> 01:50:16,320
Speaker 1: to make up the lack of talent for New England. Comparatively,

2577
01:50:16,400 --> 01:50:18,000
Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys roll in this one. I think

2578
01:50:18,000 --> 01:50:20,080
Speaker 1: they're gonna come out and make a statement, and we're

2579
01:50:20,120 --> 01:50:21,880
Speaker 1: going to be thinking about them a lot more like

2580
01:50:21,960 --> 01:50:24,000
Speaker 1: we did two weeks ago, where oh, this team could

2581
01:50:24,040 --> 01:50:26,479
Speaker 1: be the best in the NFC. That'll be the conversation

2582
01:50:26,560 --> 01:50:27,799
Speaker 1: after they crushed New England.

2583
01:50:28,280 --> 01:50:32,439
Speaker 2: Crushing. I like the process of the proclamation. Look, I

2584
01:50:32,760 --> 01:50:36,160
Speaker 2: look at it. Bill Belichick's two guys. He's a terrible

2585
01:50:36,280 --> 01:50:38,439
Speaker 2: talent evaluator, but he's a hell of a coach. Once

2586
01:50:38,479 --> 01:50:40,479
Speaker 2: he gets him in the building. Problem is they need

2587
01:50:40,560 --> 01:50:43,759
Speaker 2: to give up the former to help build the ladder.

2588
01:50:44,200 --> 01:50:46,639
Speaker 2: Does that make sense a lot of defense.

2589
01:50:46,760 --> 01:50:48,679
Speaker 3: I worry about New England's offense to have a scored

2590
01:50:48,720 --> 01:50:49,360
Speaker 3: one to twenty points.

2591
01:50:49,360 --> 01:50:51,519
Speaker 2: Well, you got no explosiveness. You don't have a single

2592
01:50:51,600 --> 01:50:54,720
Speaker 2: player out there. You're hoping for yak with Mike Gesicki

2593
01:50:55,960 --> 01:51:00,840
Speaker 2: or Hunter Henry Maan, Kendrick Bourne flashes once in a while,

2594
01:51:01,040 --> 01:51:03,880
Speaker 2: but the now like deep downfield Bill O'Brien, I mean,

2595
01:51:03,920 --> 01:51:05,120
Speaker 2: that's not part of the playbook.

2596
01:51:05,160 --> 01:51:07,960
Speaker 1: I mean it's just not we really need as a society.

2597
01:51:08,040 --> 01:51:10,640
Speaker 1: Can we find something other than yack? I just know,

2598
01:51:11,040 --> 01:51:13,439
Speaker 1: I know the terminology yards after the catch, I get it,

2599
01:51:13,479 --> 01:51:15,439
Speaker 1: but like it just makes me think about like I

2600
01:51:15,520 --> 01:51:17,439
Speaker 1: had too much fireball last night. Now I just want

2601
01:51:17,439 --> 01:51:20,240
Speaker 1: to yack. I watched The Raiders lost lose by forty seven,

2602
01:51:20,280 --> 01:51:21,640
Speaker 1: and I just want to yack, like I'm a big

2603
01:51:21,720 --> 01:51:24,040
Speaker 1: yack guy. Apparently, I just I don't know. We gotta

2604
01:51:24,080 --> 01:51:26,760
Speaker 1: find some of the I'm petitioning the world to find

2605
01:51:26,800 --> 01:51:27,639
Speaker 1: something other than yak.

2606
01:51:27,720 --> 01:51:30,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll have to talk about if fireballs a go to,

2607
01:51:30,560 --> 01:51:33,080
Speaker 2: we need to have an intervention for you I mean

2608
01:51:33,920 --> 01:51:34,759
Speaker 2: your first stuff.

2609
01:51:34,560 --> 01:51:37,840
Speaker 1: Go Yaeger. Oh yeah, Jaeger, Fireball. Drink that stuff if

2610
01:51:37,880 --> 01:51:38,200
Speaker 1: I want to.

2611
01:51:38,160 --> 01:51:40,080
Speaker 2: Get some gold Schlogger in while you're at it.

2612
01:51:40,520 --> 01:51:41,920
Speaker 1: Make me feel like I'm in high school again.

2613
01:51:41,960 --> 01:51:48,880
Speaker 2: I got to say, Jason Fitz, Andy Furman, and me

2614
01:51:49,080 --> 01:51:50,240
Speaker 2: a Mike Garment. Welcome.

2615

2617
01:51:53,479 --> 01:51:55,439
Speaker 2: more games to get to and if you look at

2618
01:51:55,479 --> 01:51:58,000
Speaker 2: the time on the wall, that's about all they deserve.

2619
01:51:58,080 --> 01:52:02,479
Speaker 2: We'll get to that next around foxmoreo. Dogs are barking

2620
01:52:02,600 --> 01:52:05,160
Speaker 2: early on a Sunday. Remember, get those fantasy lineups and

2621
01:52:05,240 --> 01:52:08,160
Speaker 2: those early pickam nods in so you don't give away

2622
01:52:08,200 --> 01:52:11,680
Speaker 2: a game. We've got Jacksonville and Atlanta.

2623
01:52:12,479 --> 01:52:12,679
Speaker 1: Yay.

2624
01:52:12,840 --> 01:52:17,120
Speaker 2: Atlanta now rumored potentially to be a suitor for Justin

2625
01:52:17,200 --> 01:52:19,879
Speaker 2: Fields if things really come off the rails in Chicago.

2626
01:52:19,880 --> 01:52:22,559
Speaker 2: Oh wait, there, I already are. But we'll get into

2627
01:52:22,640 --> 01:52:25,759
Speaker 2: that a little more next hour. You guys have already

2628
01:52:25,800 --> 01:52:28,519
Speaker 2: traversed that. I'll bring my baseball bat and go to

2629
01:52:28,600 --> 01:52:31,320
Speaker 2: work to finish the job. Coming up a little bit later.

01:52:50,040 --> 01:52:53,559
Speaker 2: by me over at Swollen Dome in the Wonderful World

2637
01:52:53,640 --> 01:52:56,720
Speaker 2: of X also known as Twitter because they still tell you,

2638
01:52:56,920 --> 01:52:59,680
Speaker 2: also known as Twitter if you get email notifications from them,

2639
01:53:00,160 --> 01:53:03,559
Speaker 2: because nobody understands that the company actually changed their name,

2640
01:53:03,640 --> 01:53:05,800
Speaker 2: like a bunch of dopes. Anyway, we got three more

2641
01:53:05,840 --> 01:53:07,559
Speaker 2: games to get to and we're going to do them

2642
01:53:07,600 --> 01:53:11,720
Speaker 2: in Commanders at Eagles. All right, this one, Commanders, they

2643
01:53:11,760 --> 01:53:13,759
Speaker 2: are getting eight and a half forty three of the total.

2644
01:53:14,040 --> 01:53:17,840
Speaker 2: Philadelphia playing bully ball with DeAndre Swift. Yeah, think about

2645
01:53:17,880 --> 01:53:20,880
Speaker 2: that passing game hasn't even started to click yet, fellas

2646
01:53:21,080 --> 01:53:24,439
Speaker 2: yet they're three to zeroe rolling. That's a very should

2647
01:53:24,439 --> 01:53:27,240
Speaker 2: make the other teams in the NFC quite a bit nervous.

2648
01:53:27,560 --> 01:53:29,439
Speaker 2: Can be Enemy get them up for this one? Can

2649
01:53:29,520 --> 01:53:32,960
Speaker 2: they protect Sam Howell from Jalen Carter and that bull

2650
01:53:33,080 --> 01:53:36,240
Speaker 2: rush of the Eagles. Jason to you first, no.

2651
01:53:36,640 --> 01:53:39,200
Speaker 1: No, no, and no. And you know it's interesting because

2652
01:53:39,600 --> 01:53:42,360
Speaker 1: it's quick, how quickly we've gone from the oh, wait,

2653
01:53:42,600 --> 01:53:44,680
Speaker 1: the Commanders, could you know, be plucky here they could

2654
01:53:44,680 --> 01:53:46,679
Speaker 1: be a surprise team, And then you see him against

2655
01:53:46,680 --> 01:53:48,439
Speaker 1: a really good team and you realize what a problem

2656
01:53:48,439 --> 01:53:51,080
Speaker 1: it is. I think their offensive line was exposed last

2657
01:53:51,080 --> 01:53:53,400
Speaker 1: week obviously, now they're taking on one of the best

2658
01:53:53,439 --> 01:53:56,040
Speaker 1: defensive lines in football. All I ask in this process

2659
01:53:56,080 --> 01:53:59,120
Speaker 1: of the Eagles and the enormous praise we continue to

2660
01:53:59,160 --> 01:54:01,800
Speaker 1: give Jalen Carter, is can we at least remember there

2661
01:54:01,920 --> 01:54:03,840
Speaker 1: was context to why he fell in the draft. I'm

2662
01:54:03,880 --> 01:54:05,800
Speaker 1: not saying that that needs to be remembered as part

2663
01:54:05,840 --> 01:54:08,120
Speaker 1: of his legacy. I'm just saying I see fans every

2664
01:54:08,160 --> 01:54:10,080
Speaker 1: week now say, well, why did our team not take

2665
01:54:10,160 --> 01:54:13,080
Speaker 1: Jalen Carter. Okay, you want to rehash the reasons, because

2666
01:54:13,320 --> 01:54:15,479
Speaker 1: there's real conversation that had to go into that for

2667
01:54:15,560 --> 01:54:18,640
Speaker 1: every single organization to make their own individual decisions. That

2668
01:54:18,760 --> 01:54:21,000
Speaker 1: being said, the young man has come into the NFL

2669
01:54:21,080 --> 01:54:23,519
Speaker 1: and has played exactly the way most people that watched

2670
01:54:23,560 --> 01:54:25,200
Speaker 1: him thought he would like. It was never a question

2671
01:54:25,240 --> 01:54:27,479
Speaker 1: of if if he was talented enough and it makes

2672
01:54:27,520 --> 01:54:31,000
Speaker 1: a disruptive Philly line even more disruptive. I think that

2673
01:54:31,120 --> 01:54:32,480
Speaker 1: this is going to be a real come to earth

2674
01:54:32,600 --> 01:54:35,360
Speaker 1: meeting moment for the Commanders, and they're going to have

2675
01:54:35,400 --> 01:54:37,560
Speaker 1: to pick themselves up after these two losses in a

2676
01:54:37,680 --> 01:54:39,920
Speaker 1: row that will be blowouts now and figure out how

2677
01:54:39,960 --> 01:54:41,920
Speaker 1: to rebound for the rest of their season. I think

2678
01:54:41,960 --> 01:54:43,280
Speaker 1: Philly's going to take it to him today.

2679
01:54:44,160 --> 01:54:46,640
Speaker 3: Oh we've seen the real command as everybody is saying, Oh,

2680
01:54:46,680 --> 01:54:48,880
Speaker 3: they were two to zero. Oh, but they beat ariz

2681
01:54:48,880 --> 01:54:51,440
Speaker 3: Ola in Denver. But last week they got shellacked thirty

2682
01:54:51,560 --> 01:54:55,560
Speaker 3: seven to three with Buffalo. Their quarterback Sam Howell intercepted

2683
01:54:55,640 --> 01:54:58,400
Speaker 3: four times. But remember remember last year. I look at

2684
01:54:58,480 --> 01:55:02,400
Speaker 3: history a little bit sometimes it helps the Washington's gonna

2685
01:55:02,400 --> 01:55:04,880
Speaker 3: try to get that game plan that had from Week

2686
01:55:04,960 --> 01:55:07,760
Speaker 3: ten a year ago. They broke the Eagles eight game

2687
01:55:07,800 --> 01:55:10,520
Speaker 3: winning streak to start the season last year. In that game,

2688
01:55:10,560 --> 01:55:13,560
Speaker 3: what did the Commanders do? They forced four turnovers at

2689
01:55:13,560 --> 01:55:16,800
Speaker 3: the offensive control of the game, how a strong running attack,

2690
01:55:17,120 --> 01:55:19,280
Speaker 3: and they won and they held the ball for like

2691
01:55:19,400 --> 01:55:22,560
Speaker 3: forty plus minutes and they had twelve third down conversions.

2692
01:55:22,720 --> 01:55:23,880
Speaker 2: Can they do it again today?

2693
01:55:24,080 --> 01:55:26,880
Speaker 3: No, it won't happen. Eagles win, but they're gonna win

2694
01:55:26,920 --> 01:55:30,280
Speaker 3: by double digits. And we see the real Washington team

2695
01:55:30,400 --> 01:55:34,040
Speaker 3: right now because today they lose at Philadelphia, but again

2696
01:55:34,600 --> 01:55:37,360
Speaker 3: on the fifth of October, which is Thursday night, another

2697
01:55:37,600 --> 01:55:40,240
Speaker 3: bad game. On a Thursday night, they will beat Chicago.

2698
01:55:41,360 --> 01:55:43,720
Speaker 2: How dare you you're looking ahead? I can't even get

2699
01:55:43,720 --> 01:55:45,960
Speaker 2: past this loss, and you're already giving me another one.

2700
01:55:46,640 --> 01:55:48,960
Speaker 2: And al Michaels died a little bit inside as you

2701
01:55:49,040 --> 01:55:52,240
Speaker 2: said that out loud. Look what you did to the

2702
01:55:52,320 --> 01:55:55,440
Speaker 2: poor man. I know, we'll see what kind of product

2703
01:55:55,480 --> 01:55:57,640
Speaker 2: placement we get. I forget what they sold two weeks ago,

2704
01:55:57,680 --> 01:55:59,920
Speaker 2: they were selling tortilla chips. I missed what they were

2705
01:56:00,120 --> 01:56:03,880
Speaker 2: doing on the Prime video this week around Yeah, bludgeoning

2706
01:56:04,240 --> 01:56:06,800
Speaker 2: right now, Sam Howell a pinnata if he holds the ball.

2707
01:56:06,920 --> 01:56:10,480
Speaker 2: Gibson and Robinson are your only hope? Like Obi wan Kenobi,

2708
01:56:10,560 --> 01:56:13,840
Speaker 2: that's right, leaving no pop culture reference on Stone on

2709
01:56:13,920 --> 01:56:14,960
Speaker 2: who's the princess Leah?

2710
01:56:15,000 --> 01:56:17,240
Speaker 1: Then, like that's the real question. Who is Princess le

2711
01:56:17,400 --> 01:56:19,120
Speaker 1: We always go to the help me, Obi wan Kenobe,

2712
01:56:19,160 --> 01:56:22,680
Speaker 1: You're my only hope? Who's Leya Leya? In this situation?

2713
01:56:22,880 --> 01:56:25,240
Speaker 2: I mean really it comes down to Bienemy becomes the

2714
01:56:25,320 --> 01:56:28,080
Speaker 2: head coach and Ron Rivera get sent away. Oh wow,

2715
01:56:28,120 --> 01:56:31,160
Speaker 2: he gets blasted into space. Wow wait, which should have

2716
01:56:31,200 --> 01:56:33,160
Speaker 2: happened before the season. But I don't need to get

2717
01:56:33,200 --> 01:56:34,360
Speaker 2: on that soapbox right now.

2718
01:56:34,640 --> 01:56:38,280
Speaker 1: But my god, you like, I'm having this moment right

2719
01:56:38,400 --> 01:56:40,520
Speaker 1: and have a sound effects on radio. It's great. I'm

2720
01:56:40,560 --> 01:56:44,800
Speaker 1: having this this moment mind blown because we everybody constantly saying, well,

2721
01:56:44,840 --> 01:56:46,800
Speaker 1: when's the enemy gonna get a chance? Wins by enemy,

2722
01:56:46,840 --> 01:56:48,560
Speaker 1: gonna get a chance if things go off the rails,

2723
01:56:49,160 --> 01:56:51,680
Speaker 1: gonna get a chance like this, this is the chance

2724
01:56:51,760 --> 01:56:52,040
Speaker 1: you want.

2725
01:56:52,160 --> 01:56:55,160
Speaker 2: So yeah, here it is. I mean, I mean they

2726
01:56:55,200 --> 01:56:57,640
Speaker 2: do have some talent on the outside right like that.

2727
01:56:57,880 --> 01:57:03,440
Speaker 2: If you look at the individuals. Dotson when healthy, solid, mccollin, McLaurin,

2728
01:57:03,480 --> 01:57:06,640
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, has been banged up a bit, Logan Thomas

2729
01:57:07,000 --> 01:57:09,400
Speaker 2: took that shot to the head a couple of weeks ago.

2730
01:57:09,800 --> 01:57:12,640
Speaker 2: But the tight end position being what it is, Jason,

2731
01:57:12,640 --> 01:57:15,600
Speaker 2: I've heard you reference fantasy, right man, He's a guy

2732
01:57:15,680 --> 01:57:18,840
Speaker 2: that you know, as far as tight ends go, he

2733
01:57:18,920 --> 01:57:21,440
Speaker 2: gets into that next five given where the position is

2734
01:57:21,520 --> 01:57:24,000
Speaker 2: in this world when he's healthy. That shows you where

2735
01:57:24,000 --> 01:57:27,160
Speaker 2: the tight end position is. Folks, it's Travis Kelcey, the

2736
01:57:27,240 --> 01:57:33,400
Speaker 2: Swifties and everybody else jamming that reference in wherever I

2737
01:57:33,520 --> 01:57:36,520
Speaker 2: can't people. All right, how about another laugher? Cardinals at

2738
01:57:36,600 --> 01:57:40,480
Speaker 2: forty nine ers. Hey, Elijah Mitchell, my guy not gonna go.

2739
01:57:40,800 --> 01:57:44,240
Speaker 2: You're probably gonna see some debo Samuel, but he's banged up,

2740
01:57:44,440 --> 01:57:46,280
Speaker 2: and let's face it, if this game goes according to

2741
01:57:46,360 --> 01:57:49,360
Speaker 2: script Fellas, he's gonna be on the sideline just shaking

2742
01:57:49,440 --> 01:57:53,760
Speaker 2: hands and clapping at San Francisco fourteen point favorites forty

2743
01:57:53,880 --> 01:57:57,120
Speaker 2: three and a half. The brock Purty experiment continues. Last

2744
01:57:57,120 --> 01:58:00,440
Speaker 2: week we saw James Connor do his thing, say five

2745
01:58:00,480 --> 01:58:03,240
Speaker 2: point two yards per carry. Josh Dobbs was at the

2746
01:58:03,280 --> 01:58:05,600
Speaker 2: team store complaining that he couldn't buy his own jersey.

2747
01:58:05,640 --> 01:58:08,480
Speaker 2: They remedied that pretty fast. So now everybody, if they

2748
01:58:08,520 --> 01:58:10,600
Speaker 2: want to jump on board that bandwagon while they wait

2749
01:58:10,680 --> 01:58:13,720
Speaker 2: for Kyler Murray can Hollywood Brown banged up, but he's

2750
01:58:13,760 --> 01:58:17,160
Speaker 2: their best wide receiver. He and zach Ertz fourteen receptions

2751
01:58:17,240 --> 01:58:20,640
Speaker 2: each lead the charge. But I think Arizona punching Dallas

2752
01:58:20,720 --> 01:58:23,120
Speaker 2: in the mouth last week the best thing that could

2753
01:58:23,120 --> 01:58:25,200
Speaker 2: have happened for the forty nine ers. There's no taking

2754
01:58:25,240 --> 01:58:27,640
Speaker 2: them lightly. Andy Furman will start with you.

2755
01:58:28,400 --> 01:58:30,760
Speaker 3: James Connor has had some success against the forty nine is.

2756
01:58:30,800 --> 01:58:32,600
Speaker 3: I don't think he's that much success today. I mean,

2757
01:58:32,680 --> 01:58:34,360
Speaker 3: this is a upsided game. This is gonna be a

2758
01:58:34,440 --> 01:58:36,360
Speaker 3: big win for the forty nine ers, as it should be.

2759
01:58:36,520 --> 01:58:38,320
Speaker 3: There's been a talent that's the name of the game.

2760
01:58:39,400 --> 01:58:41,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't disagree with that at all. I mean,

2761
01:58:41,440 --> 01:58:43,400
Speaker 1: the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, but all

2762
01:58:43,560 --> 01:58:46,080
Speaker 1: is well, all right, because at the end of the day,

2763
01:58:47,080 --> 01:58:49,160
Speaker 1: Arizona's getting the best of both worlds. Can they stay

2764
01:58:49,240 --> 01:58:53,040
Speaker 1: within fourteen Jason, No, but they're gonna get the best

2765
01:58:53,040 --> 01:58:55,000
Speaker 1: of both worlds. They continue to be a better than

2766
01:58:55,080 --> 01:58:57,120
Speaker 1: thought football team and they're going to be able to

2767
01:58:57,160 --> 01:58:58,120
Speaker 1: still get Kayleb Williams.

2768
01:58:58,200 --> 01:59:01,480
Speaker 2: That's good. Best to know Smiths, Eve Bears and Cardinals.

2769
01:59:01,800 --> 01:59:03,800
Speaker 2: By the way, best of the both worlds was Miley

2770
01:59:03,880 --> 01:59:08,760
Speaker 2: Cyrus last. Seahawks and Giants. There you go. Seahawks one

2771
01:59:08,800 --> 01:59:11,000
Speaker 2: and a half point favorite, forty seven year total No

2772
01:59:11,160 --> 01:59:14,800
Speaker 2: Andndrew Thomas, No. Saquon Barkley. They have played two good

2773
01:59:14,960 --> 01:59:18,800
Speaker 2: quarters of football against the aforementioned Cardinals Seattle. I would

2774
01:59:18,840 --> 01:59:22,240
Speaker 2: expect Kenneth Walker could approach two hundred yards today. Jason

2775
01:59:22,280 --> 01:59:25,120
Speaker 2: you first, Yeah, Kenneth Walker. By the way, you should

2776
01:59:25,200 --> 01:59:26,200
Speaker 2: serve Ken.

2777
01:59:26,440 --> 01:59:29,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, Kenneth Walker should get a check from mel Tucker

2778
01:59:30,280 --> 01:59:32,600
Speaker 1: for what he did. You know, mel Tucker got paid

2779
01:59:32,600 --> 01:59:35,440
Speaker 1: because Kenneth Walker saved Michigan State's offense. And by the way,

2780
01:59:35,480 --> 01:59:37,960
Speaker 1: he's doing the same thing with Seattle. I can't say

2781
01:59:38,080 --> 01:59:40,080
Speaker 1: enough positive things about Kenneth Walker. I think they were

2782
01:59:40,120 --> 01:59:40,680
Speaker 1: rolling this game.

2783
01:59:41,440 --> 01:59:42,760
Speaker 3: I tell you what, the games to be played in

2784
01:59:42,800 --> 01:59:45,120
Speaker 3: the trenches, and I think that's where Seattle's gonna win,

2785
01:59:45,160 --> 01:59:47,080
Speaker 3: and win big. I think they're gonna win this ball game.

2786
01:59:47,800 --> 01:59:50,120
Speaker 3: And the Giants have just devastated that they have nobody.

2787
01:59:50,280 --> 01:59:52,120
Speaker 3: I mean, Barkley's out and he was sixty percent of

2788
01:59:52,160 --> 01:59:55,480
Speaker 3: their offense. So I look for the Seattle ball club

2789
01:59:55,600 --> 01:59:58,640
Speaker 3: to come in to the Giants stadium and embarrass them.

2790
01:59:58,720 --> 02:00:01,200
Speaker 2: That's what they're gonna do. There you go, he's Andy Furman,

2791
02:00:01,320 --> 02:00:04,200
Speaker 2: that's Jason Fitz. I'm Mike Krmen. Jason and I continue

2792
02:00:04,240 --> 02:00:08,120
Speaker 2: Andy a fun, fast, our spirited as it were going,

2793
02:00:08,200 --> 02:00:10,680
Speaker 2: joy toy story. We'll see you next week, Jason, I

2794
02:00:10,800 --> 02:00:14,560
Speaker 2: continue on Fox Greetings and welcome in another beautiful hour

2795
02:00:14,640 --> 02:00:18,000
Speaker 2: Fox Football Sunday. Thanks to our guys Shay Mark and

2796
02:00:18,080 --> 02:00:20,600
Speaker 2: now we've got Isaac in. We had Kevin wired in

2797
02:00:20,640 --> 02:00:23,000
Speaker 2: a little bit earlier, making it sound oh so pretty

2798
02:00:23,360 --> 02:00:26,200
Speaker 2: to meet Mike Karmen alongside Jason Fitz. Welcome in to

2799
02:00:26,360 --> 02:00:30,920
Speaker 2: our wonderful world here on Fox Football Sunday, Old Pros,

2800
02:00:31,120 --> 02:00:34,640
Speaker 2: Old style, and we find ourselves into a fun and

2801
02:00:34,720 --> 02:00:38,600
Speaker 2: exciting Week four of the National Football League. Kickoff of

2802
02:00:38,760 --> 02:00:41,280
Speaker 2: one game just a half hour away. Again, set those

2803
02:00:41,360 --> 02:00:44,800
Speaker 2: fantasy lineups, make those pick them picks, and if you're

2804
02:00:44,880 --> 02:00:47,520
Speaker 2: in the gambling mood early on a Sunday morning, hey,

2805
02:00:48,200 --> 02:00:50,040
Speaker 2: get that cup of coffee up and see what kind

2806
02:00:50,040 --> 02:00:52,360
Speaker 2: of lines you can find. As Trevor Lawrence has shown

2807
02:00:52,440 --> 02:00:55,960
Speaker 2: on my screen warming up, Jason, this is a thriller.

2808
02:00:56,240 --> 02:00:58,720
Speaker 2: I think it'll be more fun with the toy story overlay.

2809
02:00:58,760 --> 02:00:59,560
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna lie to you.

2810
02:01:00,360 --> 02:01:03,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, Look, I'm I'm torn on this game because these

2811
02:01:03,880 --> 02:01:05,400
Speaker 1: are two teams that, by the end of the year,

2812
02:01:05,960 --> 02:01:08,760
Speaker 1: their individual fan bases think are gonna be good. And

2813
02:01:08,880 --> 02:01:10,720
Speaker 1: it's not a game I'm really excited for at all

2814
02:01:10,800 --> 02:01:13,560
Speaker 1: like Jacksonville has been out of sync, to say it

2815
02:01:13,680 --> 02:01:15,720
Speaker 1: nicely so far early in the season. Now we all

2816
02:01:15,720 --> 02:01:17,840
Speaker 1: think that's going to normalize because at the end of

2817
02:01:17,880 --> 02:01:20,760
Speaker 1: the day, we trust quarterbacks, right, so because people trust

2818
02:01:20,840 --> 02:01:23,880
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence, the thought is, hey, Jacksonville, when Jacksonville'll be

2819
02:01:24,000 --> 02:01:26,800
Speaker 1: just fine in the meantime, Atlanta's over here and Desma

2820
02:01:26,880 --> 02:01:28,720
Speaker 1: Ritter people don't trust. So it's like, well, I'm not

2821
02:01:28,760 --> 02:01:31,520
Speaker 1: sure I believe in Like, we put so much stock

2822
02:01:31,680 --> 02:01:34,760
Speaker 1: in that one position that we're convinced Jacksonville's gonna be

2823
02:01:34,800 --> 02:01:37,160
Speaker 1: okay and we're not convinced of anything for Atlanta. But

2824
02:01:37,560 --> 02:01:40,000
Speaker 1: the weird part about it is either or both of

2825
02:01:40,080 --> 02:01:42,680
Speaker 1: these teams could still like they could be playoff teams

2826
02:01:42,720 --> 02:01:44,520
Speaker 1: by the end of the year. And I'm still not

2827
02:01:44,680 --> 02:01:46,440
Speaker 1: wildly like pumped for this matchup.

2828
02:01:46,640 --> 02:01:49,640
Speaker 2: Well, I'll just work the way they've played to this point, right.

2829
02:01:49,760 --> 02:01:51,880
Speaker 2: It's the where am I in this point in time?

2830
02:01:52,040 --> 02:01:55,080
Speaker 2: Because look, I had big expectations because I don't take

2831
02:01:55,160 --> 02:01:57,840
Speaker 2: the Laurel Crown, I don't take captain obvious stuff. We

2832
02:01:57,920 --> 02:02:00,400
Speaker 2: fill out this little sheet here that we have. Our

2833
02:02:00,480 --> 02:02:02,560
Speaker 2: guy Dan Bayer puts it up where you put your

2834
02:02:03,080 --> 02:02:06,840
Speaker 2: conference title, you know, winners and super Bowl pick and

2835
02:02:07,240 --> 02:02:10,000
Speaker 2: you know something crazy that'll happen. And I'm looking at it, going,

2836
02:02:10,040 --> 02:02:12,760
Speaker 2: all right, what's the path of least resistance in theory

2837
02:02:13,120 --> 02:02:15,720
Speaker 2: to get towards a playoff berth And for me, Jacksonville

2838
02:02:16,440 --> 02:02:19,800
Speaker 2: on paper look like in the South that the opportunity

2839
02:02:19,920 --> 02:02:21,720
Speaker 2: was going to be there, and through three weeks, I'm

2840
02:02:21,960 --> 02:02:24,560
Speaker 2: kind of wringing my hands, going, what the hell? Of

2841
02:02:24,600 --> 02:02:26,560
Speaker 2: course I also have that on the other side, because

2842
02:02:26,560 --> 02:02:29,160
Speaker 2: again not taking the captain obvious all right, just right

2843
02:02:29,240 --> 02:02:31,280
Speaker 2: down the forty nine Ers and Chiefs and move on.

2844
02:02:31,680 --> 02:02:33,760
Speaker 2: I got a little cute and I like, all right,

2845
02:02:33,840 --> 02:02:37,400
Speaker 2: I think Brian Dable continues. Hey, I don't think he's

2846
02:02:37,440 --> 02:02:40,760
Speaker 2: coached hi minute of football through three games this week.

2847
02:02:41,040 --> 02:02:43,400
Speaker 2: So for me, it's a world of hurt through three weeks.

2848
02:02:43,480 --> 02:02:45,200
Speaker 1: But you know, now we have this.

2849
02:02:45,400 --> 02:02:47,280
Speaker 2: Wonderful game, and you know folks will put him in

2850
02:02:47,320 --> 02:02:51,840
Speaker 2: their fantasy lineups. We've got Jacksonville a narrow three point

2851
02:02:52,040 --> 02:02:56,600
Speaker 2: favorite against Atlanta. Atlanta now being linked in theory to

2852
02:02:56,840 --> 02:03:00,720
Speaker 2: Justin Fields if he were to become available as suspect

2853
02:03:01,080 --> 02:03:04,880
Speaker 2: he might as the Chicago season uh falls off, the rails.

2854
02:03:05,120 --> 02:03:07,440
Speaker 2: Do we have the Chase Claypool fun and exciting? We

2855
02:03:07,520 --> 02:03:09,840
Speaker 2: couldn't find it. But it was a quiet week, right,

2856
02:03:09,880 --> 02:03:13,320
Speaker 2: everybody was just talking about the aftermath of the Taylor

2857
02:03:13,360 --> 02:03:17,640
Speaker 2: Swift appearance in Chicago. Jason listening to local radio. Uh,

2858
02:03:17,680 --> 02:03:19,560
Speaker 2: they did everything they could to turn the page. They

2859
02:03:19,600 --> 02:03:21,600
Speaker 2: still had some faint hopes that the Cubs were gonna

2860
02:03:21,600 --> 02:03:24,440
Speaker 2: make the playoffs. Well that's gone. The White Sox where

2861
02:03:24,600 --> 02:03:27,680
Speaker 2: non entity, and the Blackhawks and the young guy Bidard

2862
02:03:28,160 --> 02:03:31,400
Speaker 2: they're not starting just yet. Uh, so you know you're

2863
02:03:31,440 --> 02:03:36,120
Speaker 2: looking for hope. Northwestern, despite the worst offensive performance in

2864
02:03:36,200 --> 02:03:38,960
Speaker 2: a first half ever, we're tied with the State and

2865
02:03:39,000 --> 02:03:43,960
Speaker 2: then they got yeah, and then they eventually did cover

2866
02:03:44,120 --> 02:03:46,720
Speaker 2: the number did Penn State alluded to it last hour

2867
02:03:47,040 --> 02:03:51,000
Speaker 2: the fake kneel down, which again, all right, long memories

2868
02:03:51,080 --> 02:03:54,200
Speaker 2: for folks along the way. Uh, in situations like that,

2869
02:03:54,400 --> 02:03:57,480
Speaker 2: but until the unless you throw a white towel, you

2870
02:03:57,600 --> 02:03:59,720
Speaker 2: keep playing until the final whistle. Is at least where

2871
02:03:59,760 --> 02:04:00,600
Speaker 2: ice stand.

2872
02:04:00,720 --> 02:04:01,320
Speaker 1: On all of that.

2873
02:04:01,560 --> 02:04:05,280
Speaker 2: But as we get a week four started, where next

2874
02:04:05,320 --> 02:04:07,320
Speaker 2: week we get the first of our bye weeks that

2875
02:04:07,480 --> 02:04:10,240
Speaker 2: start in four, teams will be there. The scourge of

2876
02:04:10,280 --> 02:04:14,200
Speaker 2: every NFL fan look early bye, the week five bye

2877
02:04:14,280 --> 02:04:15,040
Speaker 2: that is the worst.

2878
02:04:15,520 --> 02:04:17,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna fix the NFL right now, Like

2879
02:04:17,880 --> 02:04:20,000
Speaker 1: let's go. Nobody's asking me, but I'm gonna fix the

2880
02:04:20,080 --> 02:04:22,360
Speaker 1: NFL because we all hate bye week. There's nothing worse

2881
02:04:22,760 --> 02:04:25,040
Speaker 1: than bye week, right Like bye week is the ultimate

2882
02:04:25,120 --> 02:04:27,000
Speaker 1: third wheel experience where you're out on a date and

2883
02:04:27,040 --> 02:04:28,720
Speaker 1: all of your friends are in love and you're just

2884
02:04:28,840 --> 02:04:31,240
Speaker 1: sitting there and like there's not even a single person

2885
02:04:31,280 --> 02:04:32,520
Speaker 1: in the room for you to hang out with. The

2886
02:04:32,560 --> 02:04:35,160
Speaker 1: bye week is the worst thing in all of sports.

2887
02:04:35,280 --> 02:04:37,120
Speaker 1: I am out on bye week, and all the NFL

2888
02:04:37,200 --> 02:04:39,320
Speaker 1: has to do, and this is very simple, is get

2889
02:04:39,360 --> 02:04:41,520
Speaker 1: halfway through the season, and at the halfway point of

2890
02:04:41,560 --> 02:04:43,640
Speaker 1: the season, you take one week off, and during that

2891
02:04:43,760 --> 02:04:46,000
Speaker 1: one week off, you do with it we did as kids.

2892
02:04:46,280 --> 02:04:49,160
Speaker 1: You watch the pre taped from the offseason Hawaii thing

2893
02:04:49,200 --> 02:04:52,080
Speaker 1: where like it's the Quarterback Challenge and like we're gonna

2894
02:04:52,120 --> 02:04:54,080
Speaker 1: have fat guys play Tiktac toe. I don't care what

2895
02:04:54,160 --> 02:04:56,320
Speaker 1: it is. I pre taped something. You put it up

2896
02:04:56,320 --> 02:04:58,840
Speaker 1: in the middle of the season. Everybody gets Week nine

2897
02:04:58,920 --> 02:05:01,240
Speaker 1: off and then week ten come back, and then all

2898
02:05:01,280 --> 02:05:03,480
Speaker 1: of a sudden, your friend that's obnoxiously going to plan

2899
02:05:03,560 --> 02:05:05,920
Speaker 1: their their fall wedding can plan for that one week

2900
02:05:06,040 --> 02:05:08,040
Speaker 1: like everybody in life can turn around and be like, hey,

2901
02:05:08,080 --> 02:05:09,920
Speaker 1: this is the week there's no normal NFL and we

2902
02:05:09,960 --> 02:05:12,480
Speaker 1: can all have a glorious time. College football could could

2903
02:05:12,560 --> 02:05:16,160
Speaker 1: absolutely make that a huge weekend for college football. Everybody

2904
02:05:16,240 --> 02:05:17,760
Speaker 1: be happy and we all get a buy week at

2905
02:05:17,800 --> 02:05:20,360
Speaker 1: the same time, which is actually the fairest way to

2906
02:05:20,440 --> 02:05:22,120
Speaker 1: handle it, and it gives all of us a break

2907
02:05:22,160 --> 02:05:24,520
Speaker 1: in the middle of the season to recalibrate. I've fixed

2908
02:05:24,520 --> 02:05:26,240
Speaker 1: it all. Call me Roger. I got this.

2909
02:05:26,800 --> 02:05:29,160
Speaker 2: I kind of dig that along the way. And you

2910
02:05:29,240 --> 02:05:32,400
Speaker 2: know what, when I was a younger man, now that

2911
02:05:32,600 --> 02:05:35,800
Speaker 2: I a pirate looks at a certain age, all that

2912
02:05:35,920 --> 02:05:38,919
Speaker 2: kind of stuff tribute to the late grade. Jimmy Buffett,

2913
02:05:39,480 --> 02:05:44,040
Speaker 2: the idea of fall weddings or you know, team affiliations.

2914
02:05:44,080 --> 02:05:46,040
Speaker 2: I used to be very much a you know, when

2915
02:05:46,080 --> 02:05:48,400
Speaker 2: it came to colleges, if you didn't pay to go there,

2916
02:05:49,600 --> 02:05:53,560
Speaker 2: shut up right. That was you cannot just adopt a

2917
02:05:53,680 --> 02:05:57,320
Speaker 2: college just because you feel like it because they were

2918
02:05:57,360 --> 02:06:00,760
Speaker 2: on TV, or in my case growing up in Chicago,

2919
02:06:01,120 --> 02:06:05,160
Speaker 2: because maybe you went to Mass on Easter or Christmas

2920
02:06:05,280 --> 02:06:07,840
Speaker 2: that suddenly you were a Notre Dame fan. That doesn't

2921
02:06:07,840 --> 02:06:12,120
Speaker 2: work for me. It just doesn't. As I've gotten older, Like, yeah,

2922
02:06:12,240 --> 02:06:14,480
Speaker 2: like what you're gonna like and fall wedding guy, you're

2923
02:06:14,520 --> 02:06:17,280
Speaker 2: saving money? Oh well, you know what I mean, Like

2924
02:06:17,400 --> 02:06:19,880
Speaker 2: in terms of halls and all that other stuff. Yeah,

2925
02:06:19,960 --> 02:06:22,760
Speaker 2: your friends will hate you momentarily until there are you know,

2926
02:06:23,000 --> 02:06:25,839
Speaker 2: five Gin and Tonics in at the reception.

2927
02:06:26,480 --> 02:06:28,080
Speaker 1: Well, and I've also had a little bit of a

2928
02:06:28,120 --> 02:06:30,600
Speaker 1: different perspective on some of that over the course of

2929
02:06:30,640 --> 02:06:33,480
Speaker 1: the years because certainly the background I came from, Like

2930
02:06:33,560 --> 02:06:36,360
Speaker 1: everybody thinks that country music is all about football. I

2931
02:06:36,560 --> 02:06:38,760
Speaker 1: was like most of the tours I was on, I

2932
02:06:38,920 --> 02:06:41,680
Speaker 1: was the only person that cared about care and so

2933
02:06:41,880 --> 02:06:45,120
Speaker 1: like the number of times, like I still have to

2934
02:06:45,200 --> 02:06:47,720
Speaker 1: explain to people the difference between what a podcast is

2935
02:06:47,840 --> 02:06:49,880
Speaker 1: and a talk show is like that I toured with

2936
02:06:49,960 --> 02:06:51,720
Speaker 1: for years, they don't care at all. So like, there

2937
02:06:51,760 --> 02:06:53,560
Speaker 1: are so many people out there that are scheduling a

2938
02:06:53,600 --> 02:06:55,320
Speaker 1: wedding during the fall because it's a favorite time of

2939
02:06:55,400 --> 02:06:57,280
Speaker 1: year and it's beautiful and they wanted their honeymoon. That

2940
02:06:57,560 --> 02:06:59,600
Speaker 1: like the total respect for that, I'm with you, I

2941
02:06:59,640 --> 02:07:01,920
Speaker 1: think sometimes, as you mentioned earlier, like we have to

2942
02:07:02,000 --> 02:07:04,960
Speaker 1: remember with Taylor Swift that the bubble of sports isn't

2943
02:07:05,000 --> 02:07:08,200
Speaker 1: everybody's bubble. I think that there is just a with

2944
02:07:08,320 --> 02:07:10,200
Speaker 1: the bye week you could give you give you the

2945
02:07:10,280 --> 02:07:13,120
Speaker 1: opportunity even like all right, go to your family somewhere

2946
02:07:13,160 --> 02:07:15,120
Speaker 1: for the weekend, go do something fun. But I will

2947
02:07:15,200 --> 02:07:17,320
Speaker 1: say I have to push back a little on one

2948
02:07:17,360 --> 02:07:20,120
Speaker 1: thing that you just said, because when I moved to Nashville,

2949
02:07:20,320 --> 02:07:22,280
Speaker 1: it was, you know, like I said, ninety six, I think,

2950
02:07:22,560 --> 02:07:24,880
Speaker 1: and I'd lived all over the country but never lived

2951
02:07:24,920 --> 02:07:28,480
Speaker 1: in a passionate college football market, and so it was

2952
02:07:28,560 --> 02:07:30,680
Speaker 1: the middle of the Peyton Manning era. I went to

2953
02:07:30,760 --> 02:07:32,040
Speaker 1: a bar to check out and see.

2954
02:07:32,000 --> 02:07:36,480
Speaker 2: What I watched him my Northwestern Wildcats at the oh.

2955
02:07:37,360 --> 02:07:37,400
Speaker 6: So.

2956
02:07:37,600 --> 02:07:40,160
Speaker 1: I walked in wearing a red T shirt to a bar,

2957
02:07:40,360 --> 02:07:42,320
Speaker 1: not thinking anything of it, and it turned out it

2958
02:07:42,480 --> 02:07:45,280
Speaker 1: was Tennessee, Alabama. I got one step in the door

2959
02:07:45,400 --> 02:07:47,040
Speaker 1: and I had a beer thrown in my face and

2960
02:07:47,120 --> 02:07:49,560
Speaker 1: the whole bar started chanting words I can't say on radio.

2961
02:07:49,840 --> 02:07:52,400
Speaker 1: And that was my first okay, because I literally walked

2962
02:07:52,440 --> 02:07:54,360
Speaker 1: into the bars like this place has happened. Let's see

2963
02:07:54,360 --> 02:07:57,080
Speaker 1: why everybody loves college football one step in beer in

2964
02:07:57,160 --> 02:08:00,040
Speaker 1: the face. But it's it's funny because Nashville is a

2965
02:08:00,200 --> 02:08:02,920
Speaker 1: solid three and a half hours from Knoxville, right, so

2966
02:08:03,040 --> 02:08:04,840
Speaker 1: they're not even close together. Most of the people there

2967
02:08:04,880 --> 02:08:08,400
Speaker 1: didn't go to Tennessee, but because Vandy was always terrible,

2968
02:08:08,440 --> 02:08:11,280
Speaker 1: and for generations, the entire state was defined by the

2969
02:08:11,400 --> 02:08:14,960
Speaker 1: University of Tennessee. Grandpa's a fan, Dad's a fan, everybody's

2970
02:08:14,960 --> 02:08:17,240
Speaker 1: a fan. It's just part of culture. To this day.

2971
02:08:17,840 --> 02:08:20,520
Speaker 1: If you're on radio in Nashville, you should talk about

2972
02:08:20,520 --> 02:08:22,160
Speaker 1: the Valls more than you talk about the Titans of

2973
02:08:22,160 --> 02:08:24,920
Speaker 1: the Predators all day, every day, even though it's even

2974
02:08:24,960 --> 02:08:27,200
Speaker 1: though the Valls haven't really been relevant, and even though

2975
02:08:27,200 --> 02:08:28,320
Speaker 1: it's three hours from campus.

2976
02:08:28,400 --> 02:08:30,800
Speaker 2: So again, I got forgiveness for that, you know, no,

2977
02:08:31,160 --> 02:08:33,160
Speaker 2: and as I've gotten older, I've gotten forgiveness of it.

2978
02:08:33,240 --> 02:08:35,960
Speaker 2: Maybe it was the sticker shock of my Northwestern education

2979
02:08:38,040 --> 02:08:39,920
Speaker 2: because when they suddenly got good, all of a sudden,

2980
02:08:39,960 --> 02:08:42,440
Speaker 2: there's these bandwagoners in the city of chat weren't you

2981
02:08:42,480 --> 02:08:45,000
Speaker 2: a Notre Dame fan last week? You know that kind

2982
02:08:45,040 --> 02:08:48,520
Speaker 2: of thought, So you know, that's the look I paid

2983
02:08:48,600 --> 02:08:51,480
Speaker 2: for my misery just like last week and this. You know,

2984
02:08:51,640 --> 02:08:53,520
Speaker 2: I got to bring it up because maybe we've got

2985
02:08:53,560 --> 02:08:56,240
Speaker 2: a YouTube executive that I can curse at on air,

2986
02:08:56,720 --> 02:09:00,240
Speaker 2: you know, listening right now. Last week I paid paid

2987
02:09:00,600 --> 02:09:02,600
Speaker 2: the extra money for the package, right because I want

2988
02:09:02,600 --> 02:09:05,080
Speaker 2: to see all the games. I want my three box,

2989
02:09:05,200 --> 02:09:08,760
Speaker 2: my four box, whatever off the YouTube TV Sunday ticket

2990
02:09:08,840 --> 02:09:11,840
Speaker 2: Jason the Bears game. At halftime, they went away from it.

2991
02:09:12,320 --> 02:09:15,160
Speaker 2: Now I know local markets did. I couldn't get it,

2992
02:09:15,240 --> 02:09:18,920
Speaker 2: even though I paid over my filthy lucre to them

2993
02:09:18,960 --> 02:09:22,120
Speaker 2: and gave them my giant check. I couldn't watch the

2994
02:09:22,160 --> 02:09:23,640
Speaker 2: second half of that. Look, if I want to be

2995
02:09:23,720 --> 02:09:27,400
Speaker 2: miserable and watch that, that is my right. I paid

2996
02:09:27,800 --> 02:09:30,680
Speaker 2: for the right to be miserable, to count along with

2997
02:09:30,760 --> 02:09:33,120
Speaker 2: everybody else. How many times they looked up in the

2998
02:09:33,240 --> 02:09:36,600
Speaker 2: Kelsey box to see what Taylor Swift was eating or

2999
02:09:36,680 --> 02:09:39,160
Speaker 2: what she was saying or whatever else. I paid for that,

3000
02:09:39,520 --> 02:09:41,960
Speaker 2: and they took it away from me and gave me

3001
02:09:42,040 --> 02:09:44,360
Speaker 2: another window of Arizona Dallas.

3002
02:09:45,360 --> 02:09:48,800
Speaker 1: I am shooketh to my core because let me tell

3003
02:09:48,800 --> 02:09:52,640
Speaker 1: you something, it doesn't matter what's going on in the world,

3004
02:09:52,680 --> 02:09:54,920
Speaker 1: and it doesn't matter how bad my favorite team is

3005
02:09:55,360 --> 02:09:58,160
Speaker 1: for years, Like when the Raiders kick off, I sit

3006
02:09:58,200 --> 02:10:00,560
Speaker 1: there and I watch it through every single minute of

3007
02:10:00,600 --> 02:10:03,480
Speaker 1: the entire chaos that it is, even through JaMarcus Russell

3008
02:10:03,800 --> 02:10:06,160
Speaker 1: and all of those Like for most of my life,

3009
02:10:06,240 --> 02:10:08,640
Speaker 1: the Raiders have been bad, and my Sunday tradition is

3010
02:10:08,680 --> 02:10:10,560
Speaker 1: to sit there and watch the game. And what I

3011
02:10:10,680 --> 02:10:13,320
Speaker 1: remind myself of in the fourth quarter when the Raiders

3012
02:10:13,360 --> 02:10:17,320
Speaker 1: getting crushed, remind myself that watching the Raiders lose stinks.

3013
02:10:17,440 --> 02:10:19,840
Speaker 1: But Soda sitting there in the middle of June saying

3014
02:10:19,880 --> 02:10:21,800
Speaker 1: what's on TV? Like there's nothing there. I was just

3015
02:10:21,840 --> 02:10:24,120
Speaker 1: miss football, Like I try and remind myself of how

3016
02:10:24,200 --> 02:10:26,080
Speaker 1: much I miss it while I watch it. I watch

3017
02:10:26,160 --> 02:10:28,280
Speaker 1: every single minute of it. Like today, if the Raiders

3018
02:10:28,320 --> 02:10:30,879
Speaker 1: get beat by fifty with Aiden O'Connell playing in the quarterback,

3019
02:10:31,160 --> 02:10:33,280
Speaker 1: I'm still gonna watch the game. If they took it off,

3020
02:10:33,480 --> 02:10:35,720
Speaker 1: I feel you to my court, like there is no

3021
02:10:35,880 --> 02:10:37,520
Speaker 1: way that you could take that off and have me

3022
02:10:37,600 --> 02:10:39,680
Speaker 1: be okay. I would be losing my mind.

3023
02:10:39,800 --> 02:10:41,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was incense. Now let me ask you a question.

3024
02:10:41,880 --> 02:10:44,120
Speaker 2: You mentioned, you know when you were on tour and

3025
02:10:44,240 --> 02:10:46,640
Speaker 2: trying to find Kindred spirits, And I know some bands.

3026
02:10:47,160 --> 02:10:50,080
Speaker 2: They'll now plan tours because some of the guys are

3027
02:10:50,160 --> 02:10:51,960
Speaker 2: like big baseball fans because they want to go hit

3028
02:10:52,040 --> 02:10:56,360
Speaker 2: ball parks or make you a game. I got to

3029
02:10:56,360 --> 02:10:59,120
Speaker 2: ask you from an emotional standpoint, when you're on stage

3030
02:10:59,160 --> 02:11:02,000
Speaker 2: and you're playing fiddle, are you playing more aggressively when

3031
02:11:02,080 --> 02:11:05,640
Speaker 2: the Raiders are in season and you see the results

3032
02:11:05,920 --> 02:11:08,400
Speaker 2: or is it something where you get along soulful bluesy

3033
02:11:08,760 --> 02:11:09,840
Speaker 2: I'm sad kind of thing.

3034
02:11:10,120 --> 02:11:12,360
Speaker 1: No, there's an aggressiveness to it. And one of my

3035
02:11:12,440 --> 02:11:15,000
Speaker 1: favorite things whenever I talk to musicians in interviews in

3036
02:11:15,080 --> 02:11:16,880
Speaker 1: general and ask him, like, how do you keep up

3037
02:11:16,880 --> 02:11:18,440
Speaker 1: with the game when you're on the road, Like I'm

3038
02:11:18,560 --> 02:11:20,800
Speaker 1: lucky most of the time. You know, the Raiders don't

3039
02:11:20,800 --> 02:11:23,160
Speaker 1: play in primetime and most of your shows are at night,

3040
02:11:23,280 --> 02:11:24,920
Speaker 1: so like, you know, hey, you don't have to worry

3041
02:11:24,920 --> 02:11:27,320
Speaker 1: about that. But even like my buddy Chris Young, who's

3042
02:11:27,640 --> 02:11:31,680
Speaker 1: had an incredible country music career, Chris, I asked him once,

3043
02:11:31,760 --> 02:11:33,400
Speaker 1: you know how he keeps track of because he's a

3044
02:11:33,400 --> 02:11:36,760
Speaker 1: big Cowboys fan, big University of Texas fan, and he said, like,

3045
02:11:36,920 --> 02:11:39,840
Speaker 1: you know, there we wear these little ear in your

3046
02:11:39,960 --> 02:11:43,840
Speaker 1: like earphones that people can't see necessarily and somebody can

3047
02:11:43,880 --> 02:11:45,400
Speaker 1: talk to you in those and he said, you know,

3048
02:11:45,520 --> 02:11:48,400
Speaker 1: his side stage guy gives him score updates. And he

3049
02:11:48,480 --> 02:11:50,400
Speaker 1: told a story about once being on stage and in

3050
02:11:50,440 --> 02:11:53,000
Speaker 1: the middle of a song just dropped the biggest f

3051
02:11:53,120 --> 02:11:54,600
Speaker 1: bomb in the middle of the song. That made no

3052
02:11:54,840 --> 02:11:57,400
Speaker 1: sense because he just found out the score. And you know,

3053
02:11:57,880 --> 02:11:59,720
Speaker 1: rest in peace to the great Charlie Daniels. But I

3054
02:11:59,760 --> 02:12:02,200
Speaker 1: ask Tim, he's a big balls fan, asked Charlie the

3055
02:12:02,240 --> 02:12:04,879
Speaker 1: same question. He said, they used to give him the scores,

3056
02:12:05,120 --> 02:12:07,280
Speaker 1: but then he would stay. He like he'd start playing

3057
02:12:07,360 --> 02:12:09,800
Speaker 1: so poorly because he just gets so worked up over

3058
02:12:09,880 --> 02:12:12,720
Speaker 1: the game. Yet, like Caine, Brown keeps a little He

3059
02:12:12,840 --> 02:12:14,840
Speaker 1: keeps a little phone or an iPad on the stage

3060
02:12:15,000 --> 02:12:16,720
Speaker 1: when George is playing, so if he turns around to

3061
02:12:16,720 --> 02:12:19,040
Speaker 1: look at his drummer, he's actually looking at a TV

3062
02:12:19,200 --> 02:12:22,000
Speaker 1: to check to the Georgia scores. Like we've all got tricks.

3063
02:12:22,080 --> 02:12:24,200
Speaker 1: It just makes for a really bad show when your

3064
02:12:24,240 --> 02:12:24,920
Speaker 1: team's bat all the.

3065
02:12:24,920 --> 02:12:28,240
Speaker 2: Time, that's just stand and instead of the next words

3066
02:12:28,280 --> 02:12:32,000
Speaker 2: in the prompter, it's now a score and you look down.

3067
02:12:32,320 --> 02:12:34,160
Speaker 2: He looked horrified. What was going on with the people

3068
02:12:34,200 --> 02:12:36,080
Speaker 2: in the front row. It had nothing to do with

3069
02:12:36,200 --> 02:12:37,960
Speaker 2: what was going on in the front row. But now

3070
02:12:38,000 --> 02:12:40,920
Speaker 2: you're misdirecting. Hey that guy said something to get him

3071
02:12:40,920 --> 02:12:42,960
Speaker 2: out of here. Oh my god, he comes about that

3072
02:12:43,080 --> 02:12:44,480
Speaker 2: instead of your favorite team losing.

3073
02:12:44,720 --> 02:12:48,920
Speaker 1: See the misdirection the worst part for me, and I'll

3074
02:12:49,000 --> 02:12:51,000
Speaker 1: never like I knew I was a pain in the button.

3075
02:12:51,040 --> 02:12:53,360
Speaker 1: I apologized to everybody I ever toured with. You know,

3076
02:12:53,480 --> 02:12:55,680
Speaker 1: when you're on tour in the fall, which is most

3077
02:12:55,720 --> 02:12:58,360
Speaker 1: of the time nowadays, you really have to be careful

3078
02:12:58,400 --> 02:13:00,640
Speaker 1: with where you park your tour bus because every tour

3079
02:13:00,720 --> 02:13:03,000
Speaker 1: bus has two satellite dishes, and satellite dishes on it

3080
02:13:03,040 --> 02:13:06,040
Speaker 1: and that's how you always got a Sunday ticket for years,

3081
02:13:06,160 --> 02:13:08,640
Speaker 1: was their DirecTV right. But they have to park the

3082
02:13:08,720 --> 02:13:11,200
Speaker 1: bus in a spot that actually gets the signals. So

3083
02:13:11,600 --> 02:13:14,360
Speaker 1: you can't be blocked by the amphitheater or the stadium.

3084
02:13:14,800 --> 02:13:16,600
Speaker 1: You can't be blocked. You gotta be somewhere. So the

3085
02:13:16,720 --> 02:13:18,800
Speaker 1: number of times that I'd get up early on a

3086
02:13:18,880 --> 02:13:21,480
Speaker 1: Sunday morning and just sit there with the driver while

3087
02:13:21,480 --> 02:13:24,480
Speaker 1: I'd sit next to the TV, and I'd say stop, nope, yes, nope,

3088
02:13:24,640 --> 02:13:27,240
Speaker 1: while we're moving the bus like three inch and everybody

3089
02:13:27,280 --> 02:13:29,080
Speaker 1: else on the bus isn't even a football fan, and

3090
02:13:29,120 --> 02:13:31,800
Speaker 1: they're like, what are we doing? And we're parking like

3091
02:13:31,920 --> 02:13:33,880
Speaker 1: three blocks away from the venue because it's the only

3092
02:13:33,920 --> 02:13:35,600
Speaker 1: place I can watch the game, And I'm like, look,

3093
02:13:35,760 --> 02:13:37,920
Speaker 1: I'm not playing the show if I can't watch the radio.

3094
02:13:38,000 --> 02:13:40,840
Speaker 2: You want me to have my best performance tonight? Do

3095
02:13:41,000 --> 02:13:42,560
Speaker 2: you want me to be dialed in?

3096
02:13:43,320 --> 02:13:45,200
Speaker 1: Oh? That was the worst? I was the worst?

3097
02:13:45,320 --> 02:13:48,720

3113
02:14:37,320 --> 02:14:39,920
Speaker 2: I want to ask you a question. My Bears sit

3114
02:14:40,080 --> 02:14:44,600
Speaker 2: in the gold position on the metal stand of ineptitude.

3115
02:14:44,880 --> 02:14:46,760
Speaker 2: It's Sunday morning. I can't you say what I want?

3116
02:14:47,600 --> 02:14:50,280
Speaker 2: Who else joins him in the silver and bronze spaces

3117
02:14:50,480 --> 02:14:52,040
Speaker 2: through three weeks in the NFL season.

3118
02:14:52,800 --> 02:14:55,280
Speaker 1: Oh, I mean, the Broncos are definitely on that list

3119
02:14:55,360 --> 02:14:58,880
Speaker 1: for the ineptitude right, like especially because we're trying to

3120
02:14:58,960 --> 02:15:00,840
Speaker 1: change the narrative right now, like where we're trying to

3121
02:15:00,920 --> 02:15:03,040
Speaker 1: turn this into suddenly that oh well, the Broncos are

3122
02:15:03,080 --> 02:15:05,320
Speaker 1: rebuilding now for all the people that were telling me,

3123
02:15:05,600 --> 02:15:07,240
Speaker 1: you know, a month ago that they were going to

3124
02:15:07,240 --> 02:15:09,640
Speaker 1: be a fringe playoff team because they got Sean Payton, Like,

3125
02:15:10,480 --> 02:15:13,120
Speaker 1: let's hear from you now. I'm just the Broncos are

3126
02:15:13,120 --> 02:15:16,600
Speaker 1: an abject disaster and should be treated as such. So

3127
02:15:17,080 --> 02:15:19,880
Speaker 1: they're absolutely on the ineptitude list. And I'm actually I'm

3128
02:15:19,880 --> 02:15:23,120
Speaker 1: gonna throw Carolina in on the ineptitude list like I

3129
02:15:23,240 --> 02:15:26,920
Speaker 1: had at least expectations that Bryce Young and Frank Reich

3130
02:15:26,960 --> 02:15:28,680
Speaker 1: would have a little bit of magic, and so far,

3131
02:15:28,800 --> 02:15:30,880
Speaker 1: I don't think there's been any magic for Carolina. I

3132
02:15:30,920 --> 02:15:33,400
Speaker 1: don't even know what they're trying to accomplish. They don't

3133
02:15:33,400 --> 02:15:36,080
Speaker 1: have identity. They're not any good at least the Vikings

3134
02:15:36,200 --> 02:15:38,160
Speaker 1: zero to three. I can look at it and say, Okay,

3135
02:15:38,600 --> 02:15:40,640
Speaker 1: they've been They've been close in all of these games,

3136
02:15:40,680 --> 02:15:43,520
Speaker 1: and even the Cardinals have been better than expected. Carolina

3137
02:15:43,520 --> 02:15:46,160
Speaker 1: has been worse than expected. So I'll give Carolina the bronze.

3138
02:15:46,360 --> 02:15:48,320
Speaker 1: I'll I'll give the Broncos a silver.

3139
02:15:48,640 --> 02:15:52,800
Speaker 2: Bad job thus far by Carolina trying to protect Bryce Young.

3140
02:15:52,960 --> 02:15:55,560
Speaker 2: That guy ain't getting through a season. Yeah, and right now,

3141
02:15:55,640 --> 02:15:57,720
Speaker 2: if you're you're asking me if you want to win

3142
02:15:57,760 --> 02:15:59,720
Speaker 2: a couple of games, you're better off with Andy Dolton

3143
02:16:00,280 --> 02:16:00,480
Speaker 2: on that.

3144
02:16:00,640 --> 02:16:02,800
Speaker 1: But you also can't let Andy Dalton throw the ball

3145
02:16:02,880 --> 02:16:05,160
Speaker 1: like seven hundred and three. Well that's a whole other thing, right,

3146
02:16:05,240 --> 02:16:08,240
Speaker 1: Miles Sanders can't run forward. He's on the injury list.

3147
02:16:09,080 --> 02:16:11,760
Speaker 1: More Chewba Hubbard for the world, Just so I can say,

3148
02:16:11,840 --> 02:16:16,440
Speaker 1: Chewba Hubbard. I always thought it like I look great name.

3149
02:16:16,640 --> 02:16:19,360
Speaker 1: I just wish it had been just Chubba Hubbard. Chumba

3150
02:16:19,400 --> 02:16:20,760
Speaker 1: Hubbard's more fun saying well, and.

3151
02:16:20,800 --> 02:16:24,240
Speaker 2: Then you could get a bubblegum endorsement if Nil existed

3152
02:16:24,280 --> 02:16:26,320
Speaker 2: while he was in the college world. See you got that,

3153
02:16:26,480 --> 02:16:29,160
Speaker 2: my mettal stand. I'm putting the giants there because they've

3154
02:16:29,200 --> 02:16:32,560
Speaker 2: let me down personally. I'm looking at you, Dable. We're

3155
02:16:32,640 --> 02:16:35,959
Speaker 2: kindred spirits in terms of our how we fill out

3156
02:16:35,959 --> 02:16:38,160
Speaker 2: a poncho or mumu or whatever the hell you're wearing

3157
02:16:38,200 --> 02:16:41,560
Speaker 2: on the sideline. So that and then and then the Broncos.

3158
02:16:41,600 --> 02:16:43,280
Speaker 2: I didn't think it was gonna work. I didn't think

3159
02:16:43,320 --> 02:16:45,640
Speaker 2: it would look this bad. I've said, Russell Wilson's been

3160
02:16:45,720 --> 02:16:48,600
Speaker 2: done for three years trying to blame Hackett was just

3161
02:16:48,720 --> 02:16:52,040
Speaker 2: a band aid. He wasn't good. But they're worse and

3162
02:16:52,280 --> 02:16:54,360
Speaker 2: right now Sean Payton looks like he should have been.

3163
02:16:54,840 --> 02:16:57,520
Speaker 2: He's already fighting with the media after turning them away

3164
02:16:57,640 --> 02:17:00,880
Speaker 2: all pre season. You reap what you say, Oh is

3165
02:17:00,959 --> 02:17:03,080
Speaker 2: the way that goes? He's Jason Fits on Mike Carmen,

3187
02:18:06,680 --> 02:18:10,920
Speaker 2: big hug, right and figuring out different ways to promote

3188
02:18:10,959 --> 02:18:15,440
Speaker 2: your sport different angles. Maybe, however, they end up doing

3189
02:18:15,480 --> 02:18:17,480
Speaker 2: this because I saw some of the stop motion stuff

3190
02:18:17,560 --> 02:18:20,720
Speaker 2: with Zerg and whatever else which is cool. But if

3191
02:18:20,760 --> 02:18:22,160
Speaker 2: you can get a couple of kids to get kind

3192
02:18:22,160 --> 02:18:25,400
Speaker 2: of fired up, even if it's in a weird display,

3193
02:18:25,600 --> 02:18:28,760
Speaker 2: and however, you know they're gonna have the big collisions shown.

3194
02:18:29,120 --> 02:18:32,440
Speaker 2: That that's the curiosity to me. Trevor Lawrence gets laid out.

3195
02:18:32,760 --> 02:18:36,320
Speaker 2: How is that done by the toy story characters? Is

3196
02:18:36,360 --> 02:18:40,840
Speaker 2: it the Little Green Guys or whatever? But wherever we

3197
02:18:40,920 --> 02:18:43,720
Speaker 2: could try to grow and figure out a way to infiltrate,

3198
02:18:44,360 --> 02:18:47,680
Speaker 2: to get in there and sell, sell, sell and give

3199
02:18:47,720 --> 02:18:50,160
Speaker 2: it a different look. I'm all about innovation. I'm all about,

3200
02:18:50,560 --> 02:18:52,920
Speaker 2: you know, trying to find that next next spot.

3201
02:18:53,800 --> 02:18:57,360
Speaker 1: And so this is it. We actually agree on all

3202
02:18:57,440 --> 02:19:00,280
Speaker 1: of this, and I will say when it comes to this,

3203
02:19:00,879 --> 02:19:02,600
Speaker 1: I'm going to teach the world a new phrase that

3204
02:19:02,680 --> 02:19:05,520
Speaker 1: we could all afford to learn, which is that's not

3205
02:19:05,640 --> 02:19:06,959
Speaker 1: for me but cool.

3206
02:19:07,720 --> 02:19:09,880
Speaker 2: Like that's the other part of that, right, you don't

3207
02:19:09,920 --> 02:19:11,760
Speaker 2: have to watch It's like Kevin Durant, you don't like it.

3208
02:19:11,800 --> 02:19:16,920
Speaker 1: Don't watch Like there's this element of everything is about growth,

3209
02:19:17,080 --> 02:19:19,600
Speaker 1: and everything is about trying to find new audiences. I

3210
02:19:19,640 --> 02:19:21,680
Speaker 1: don't care what we do for a living, whether it's

3211
02:19:21,720 --> 02:19:23,160
Speaker 1: what you and I are doing right now, or whether

3212
02:19:23,200 --> 02:19:25,680
Speaker 1: it's anything like. It's about growth and trying to reach

3213
02:19:25,760 --> 02:19:27,840
Speaker 1: new people, and then when you reach new people, you

3214
02:19:27,920 --> 02:19:29,959
Speaker 1: hope that you can turn those people into super fans

3215
02:19:30,000 --> 02:19:33,879
Speaker 1: and whatever you're doing. It's a very simple concept. And frankly,

3216
02:19:34,040 --> 02:19:35,760
Speaker 1: there are a lot of kids out there that may

3217
02:19:35,840 --> 02:19:37,600
Speaker 1: not want to sit there and watch a football game

3218
02:19:37,640 --> 02:19:39,560
Speaker 1: with their parents, but they would sit there and watch

3219
02:19:39,600 --> 02:19:42,280
Speaker 1: a toy story looking game with their parents. Gets it's

3220
02:19:42,320 --> 02:19:44,320
Speaker 1: the reason that Disney is what Disney is. Like you

3221
02:19:44,400 --> 02:19:46,720
Speaker 1: go to Disney World and you see the absolute power

3222
02:19:46,800 --> 02:19:50,199
Speaker 1: of the brand for a reason. Right, So in my mind,

3223
02:19:50,360 --> 02:19:52,680
Speaker 1: if you can get a kid into football that might

3224
02:19:52,760 --> 02:19:57,400
Speaker 1: not otherwise be into football, isn't that some point the hope.

3225
02:19:57,520 --> 02:20:00,920
Speaker 1: Like I've said earlier, every I was a kid, every Sunday,

3226
02:20:00,959 --> 02:20:02,959
Speaker 1: my dad would go get a dozen donuts. We'd sit down,

3227
02:20:02,959 --> 02:20:05,680
Speaker 1: we'd eat a dozen donuts together, and we watch the Raiders.

3228
02:20:05,760 --> 02:20:07,720
Speaker 1: That's why I'm a Raiders fan to this day. Do

3229
02:20:07,920 --> 02:20:10,200
Speaker 1: I not want some kids somewhere else in a modern

3230
02:20:10,280 --> 02:20:12,560
Speaker 1: time where the way you watch TV and what you

3231
02:20:12,640 --> 02:20:15,000
Speaker 1: can watch is so different sitting down and watching that

3232
02:20:15,120 --> 02:20:16,720
Speaker 1: game and eating those donuts with your dad, and that

3233
02:20:16,840 --> 02:20:19,119
Speaker 1: might not be appealing, but sitting down and watching Toy

3234
02:20:19,200 --> 02:20:21,520
Speaker 1: Story and eating those donuts with your dad might and

3235
02:20:21,600 --> 02:20:24,200
Speaker 1: that could create another generation of fans, which is good

3236
02:20:24,240 --> 02:20:26,720
Speaker 1: for the sports that we love. So like, it doesn't

3237
02:20:26,760 --> 02:20:28,320
Speaker 1: have to be for everybody, it has to be for

3238
02:20:28,400 --> 02:20:30,600
Speaker 1: its target audience. And I think you're right, it will be.

3239
02:20:30,640 --> 02:20:32,959
Speaker 2: For them, right, and if you can get some merchandise

3240
02:20:33,040 --> 02:20:35,160
Speaker 2: flowing out of it, and now, if it works, then

3241
02:20:35,240 --> 02:20:37,640
Speaker 2: you'd start looking to expand the universe. Maybe you stay

3242
02:20:37,680 --> 02:20:41,440
Speaker 2: in Andy's room another year and perfect that the storytelling,

3243
02:20:41,480 --> 02:20:45,080
Speaker 2: the crafting, you find some operational efficiencies, but eventually we

3244
02:20:45,200 --> 02:20:46,840
Speaker 2: move it out into other things and bring it into

3245
02:20:46,879 --> 02:20:49,600
Speaker 2: other properties. Maybe we get outside of the whole Disney

3246
02:20:49,680 --> 02:20:53,400
Speaker 2: World concept and we go back to the nineteen sixty

3247
02:20:53,440 --> 02:20:56,680
Speaker 2: six classic Batman because then with every hit we can

3248
02:20:56,760 --> 02:20:59,960
Speaker 2: have a Biff Bam pal show up on the screen.

3249
02:21:00,800 --> 02:21:04,640
Speaker 1: You went Biff first and enough boom, which is really respectable. Man, Like,

3250
02:21:04,680 --> 02:21:06,600
Speaker 1: I'm all in on going Biff first for that. But

3251
02:21:06,680 --> 02:21:10,200
Speaker 1: by the way, like Nickelodeon and the Slime Slime games,

3252
02:21:10,240 --> 02:21:13,199
Speaker 1: like has that already sort of proven proof of console?

3253
02:21:13,280 --> 02:21:13,880
Speaker 1: That's it, right?

3254
02:21:14,040 --> 02:21:14,840
Speaker 2: How do you expand?

3255
02:21:15,400 --> 02:21:18,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Frankly, again, I'm not trying to pick on

3256
02:21:18,600 --> 02:21:21,440
Speaker 1: baseball guy, but I feel like some NFL fans right

3257
02:21:21,480 --> 02:21:23,160
Speaker 1: now are being baseball guy. I was like, Wow, the

3258
02:21:23,200 --> 02:21:25,760
Speaker 1: game doesn't need this, h I mean, if it helps

3259
02:21:25,840 --> 02:21:28,520
Speaker 1: grow the game, then that that's better for everybody. You know,

3260
02:21:28,600 --> 02:21:30,360
Speaker 1: whatever keeps the game growing, well, that's just it.

3261
02:21:30,560 --> 02:21:32,760
Speaker 2: Baseball had all its rules this year, they would They

3262
02:21:32,800 --> 02:21:35,119
Speaker 2: had nine games go over three and a half hours.

3263
02:21:35,480 --> 02:21:38,920
Speaker 2: You saw attendance was up, people were through on television

3264
02:21:39,000 --> 02:21:41,520
Speaker 2: a bunch more. It also helped out a bunch of

3265
02:21:41,640 --> 02:21:44,840
Speaker 2: long stagnant, endormant markets. I'm looking at you, Baltimore, my

3266
02:21:45,040 --> 02:21:48,720
Speaker 2: friends there in Baltimore. Your team's relevant again, right, and

3267
02:21:48,800 --> 02:21:51,120
Speaker 2: you weren't turning all attention to the Ravens. We'll get

3268
02:21:51,120 --> 02:21:55,360
Speaker 2: to them in a minute. Before then, the Exorcist comes

3269
02:21:55,400 --> 02:21:58,400
Speaker 2: out on October sixth. They need someone to go into

3270
02:21:58,480 --> 02:22:02,760
Speaker 2: that training room again, even though they changed out the trainer.

3271
02:22:03,120 --> 02:22:04,119
Speaker 2: They know you don't help there.

3272
02:22:04,520 --> 02:22:06,200
Speaker 1: Are you big on the horror movie thing? Because I

3273
02:22:06,480 --> 02:22:08,560
Speaker 1: went to see Saw the other night, did yet I was,

3274
02:22:09,120 --> 02:22:12,000
Speaker 1: and it was you know, it was a good Saw movie.

3275
02:22:12,080 --> 02:22:14,200
Speaker 1: I don't know that it was particularly scary to me,

3276
02:22:14,320 --> 02:22:16,400
Speaker 1: but it was a well put together Saw movie. But

3277
02:22:16,520 --> 02:22:18,240
Speaker 1: the funny thing is the scariest part of the whole

3278
02:22:18,280 --> 02:22:20,680
Speaker 1: night was the preview for that new exercise. I mean,

3279
02:22:20,720 --> 02:22:23,000
Speaker 1: there were people screaming in the theater at the preview,

3280
02:22:23,000 --> 02:22:24,600
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, God, inject this in my veins.

3281
02:22:24,600 --> 02:22:24,959
Speaker 1: I needed.

3282
02:22:25,280 --> 02:22:26,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the best when when you can get the

3283
02:22:26,959 --> 02:22:29,640
Speaker 2: crowd along along and fired up. I went and saw

3284
02:22:29,680 --> 02:22:33,640
Speaker 2: the movie Bottoms, which starred Marshawn Lynch. Yeah, you know,

3285
02:22:33,800 --> 02:22:36,560
Speaker 2: it's a high school romp, you know, a little raunchy

3286
02:22:36,600 --> 02:22:40,520
Speaker 2: at times, but the crowd was into it, screaming at

3287
02:22:40,560 --> 02:22:42,760
Speaker 2: the screen. Not a horror movie, but I did have

3288
02:22:42,920 --> 02:22:45,680
Speaker 2: some horror elements to it, and I thought it was

3289
02:22:45,680 --> 02:22:48,879
Speaker 2: a good watch and it helped being in the theater

3290
02:22:49,120 --> 02:22:49,800
Speaker 2: with people.

3291
02:22:50,280 --> 02:22:50,440
Speaker 1: Right.

3292
02:22:50,520 --> 02:22:53,240
Speaker 2: But to the original point, I'm talking about sports and change.

3293
02:22:53,640 --> 02:22:56,760
Speaker 2: I don't like the ghost runner on second base. Other

3294
02:22:56,840 --> 02:22:59,560
Speaker 2: people do. I didn't want to outlaw the shift learn

3295
02:22:59,600 --> 02:23:04,039
Speaker 2: how to hit other people did. The game was flowing

3296
02:23:04,200 --> 02:23:07,040
Speaker 2: a bit faster, and we actually had the return of

3297
02:23:07,080 --> 02:23:11,240
Speaker 2: stolen bases this year, Jason, So something positive for those

3298
02:23:11,280 --> 02:23:14,200
Speaker 2: old school baseball fans. While you have those new fangled rules,

3299
02:23:14,240 --> 02:23:16,280
Speaker 2: all of that and so much more. We'll get back

3300
02:23:16,320 --> 02:23:18,840
Speaker 2: into the misery that has been the injury bug there

3301
02:23:18,879 --> 02:23:21,560
Speaker 2: in Baltimore because they've got a big date against Cleveland.

3302
02:23:21,640 --> 02:23:24,440
Speaker 2: Here we'll talk Miami Buffalo. But first I got to

3303
02:23:24,480 --> 02:23:27,520
Speaker 2: bring in a man who's ready to see if something's

3304
02:23:27,600 --> 02:23:30,400
Speaker 2: gonna give in a sea of Raider fans. He'll be

3305
02:23:30,560 --> 02:23:33,920
Speaker 2: on site. It's our guy, Isaac Loewencron with the update.

3306
02:23:33,959 --> 02:23:37,840
Speaker 7: Hey, buddy, fired up for the debut of Aidan O'Connell.

3307
02:23:38,000 --> 02:23:40,520
Speaker 7: No offense to Brian Hoyer, but indeed that'll be coming

3308
02:23:40,640 --> 02:23:43,720
Speaker 7: up later today. Good morning, fellas, and we'll actually start

3309
02:23:43,760 --> 02:23:46,120
Speaker 7: with that. But coming up, we're actually going to have

3310
02:23:46,240 --> 02:23:51,000
Speaker 7: an honest to goodness Taylor Swift Kansas City Chiefs update

3311
02:23:51,120 --> 02:23:53,920
Speaker 7: that coming up to two mere moments. But indeed, NFL

3312
02:23:54,040 --> 02:23:57,120
Speaker 7: media reporting rookie Aidan O'Connell will get the start at

3313
02:23:57,200 --> 02:24:00,920
Speaker 7: quarterback for the Raiders today against the Chargers. Jimmy Garoppolo

3314
02:24:01,080 --> 02:24:05,520
Speaker 7: out in concussion protocol. ESPN reports the Chicago Bears benching

3315
02:24:05,640 --> 02:24:09,800
Speaker 7: receiver Chase Claypool for today's game against the Denver Broncos.

3316
02:24:10,200 --> 02:24:13,360
Speaker 7: Just getting ready to kick off right now from veterable

3317
02:24:13,520 --> 02:24:17,039
Speaker 7: Wembley Stadium in London. It's the Atlanta Falcons at two

3318
02:24:17,080 --> 02:24:22,119
Speaker 7: to one and the one and two Jacksonville Jaguars also

3319
02:24:22,680 --> 02:24:27,240
Speaker 7: over there. In golf at the Ryder Cup, Europe continues

3320
02:24:27,320 --> 02:24:31,160
Speaker 7: to lead Team USA twelve to six. Right now in

3321
02:24:31,480 --> 02:24:35,480
Speaker 7: the Sunday singles phase of competition. Now, are you guys

3322
02:24:35,560 --> 02:24:38,400
Speaker 7: ready for your Taylor Swift Kansas City Chiefs subst.

3323
02:24:41,760 --> 02:24:42,080
Speaker 2: Tonight?

3324
02:24:42,160 --> 02:24:44,959
Speaker 7: The Jets will be hosting the Chiefs on Sunday Night football.

3325
02:24:45,440 --> 02:24:52,880
Speaker 7: And last night Taylor Swift and Brittany the Yeah, the

3326
02:24:53,000 --> 02:24:56,360
Speaker 7: wife of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. We're part of a

3327
02:24:56,480 --> 02:25:00,680
Speaker 7: group that dined at the Lower Manhattan Italian an eatery

3328
02:25:01,440 --> 02:25:04,160
Speaker 7: but Tolo's. And here's how it sounded when the group

3329
02:25:04,400 --> 02:25:05,760
Speaker 7: exited the restaurant.

3330
02:25:13,320 --> 02:25:18,400
Speaker 2: That's my every morning, Jason, Yeah, walk it out, my friend.

3331
02:25:18,520 --> 02:25:20,920
Speaker 7: Ironically, those cheers were louder than those that the Jets

3332
02:25:21,040 --> 02:25:23,560
Speaker 7: offense is expected to garner tonight. So a couple of

3333
02:25:23,680 --> 02:25:27,240
Speaker 7: notes about all this. First of all, the name of

3334
02:25:27,320 --> 02:25:32,880
Speaker 7: the restaurant, Ballatos. They say no reservations. People will be

3335
02:25:32,959 --> 02:25:35,760
Speaker 7: seated on a first come, first serve basis, So I

3336
02:25:35,840 --> 02:25:38,000
Speaker 7: wonder how long the group had to wait for that

3337
02:25:38,160 --> 02:25:42,160
Speaker 7: table number two. There is actually an NFL connection. The

3338
02:25:42,280 --> 02:25:46,240
Speaker 7: restaurant is located on the same block as the cathedral

3339
02:25:46,720 --> 02:25:50,240
Speaker 7: where the funeral was held for Vince Lombardi, the same

3340
02:25:50,360 --> 02:25:53,080
Speaker 7: block in Lower Manhattan. And finally, here's a pop quiz.

3341
02:25:53,600 --> 02:25:56,080
Speaker 7: Mike and Jason. I'm gonna give you two items on

3342
02:25:56,120 --> 02:25:57,680
Speaker 7: the menu. I want to I want you guys to

3343
02:25:57,760 --> 02:26:05,360
Speaker 7: guess the price Atlattos, a caprice salad, brazy caprazy capris,

3344
02:26:05,520 --> 02:26:11,120
Speaker 7: caprazy whatever, buffalo mozzarella, cheese, tomatoes and fresh basil. Guess

3345
02:26:11,200 --> 02:26:13,440
Speaker 7: how much it costs there at Ballatos, Well, they would

3346
02:26:13,440 --> 02:26:15,840
Speaker 7: have worked that cheese by hand, Jason, you know, the

3347
02:26:16,000 --> 02:26:20,120
Speaker 7: artistry of cheesemaking. Yeah, to say, that's what do you think?

3348
02:26:20,360 --> 02:26:22,199
Speaker 7: And maybe a seventy five dollars.

3349
02:26:23,640 --> 02:26:25,959
Speaker 1: Half the time I was gonna say, like a forty dollars,

3350
02:26:26,120 --> 02:26:28,720
Speaker 1: but yeah, I'd say forty.

3351
02:26:28,560 --> 02:26:31,960
Speaker 2: Twenty eight dollars about reasonable?

3352
02:26:31,959 --> 02:26:32,200
Speaker 1: All right?

3353
02:26:32,680 --> 02:26:39,119
Speaker 7: Spaghetti and meatballs a family style, no, just an individual

3354
02:26:39,160 --> 02:26:39,920
Speaker 7: individual Yeah.

3355
02:26:41,879 --> 02:26:46,560
Speaker 1: Oh man, spaghetti meatballs feels like it's like could be cheap,

3356
02:26:46,600 --> 02:26:49,200
Speaker 1: but I mean depends what they got, now get in there.

3357
02:26:49,920 --> 02:26:52,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm thinking a nice ragu I mean looking at

3358
02:26:52,400 --> 02:26:55,560
Speaker 2: a thirty six dollars entre thirty two dollars.

3359
02:26:56,040 --> 02:26:59,600
Speaker 7: Oh so okay thirty two and then I went over

3360
02:26:59,680 --> 02:27:03,200
Speaker 7: my own no surprisingly affordable choice. So that's the latest

3361
02:27:03,320 --> 02:27:07,240
Speaker 7: in the Taylor Swift Travis Kelcey, Kansas City Chief Universe

3362
02:27:07,280 --> 02:27:07,840
Speaker 7: back to You've got.

3363
02:27:07,800 --> 02:27:11,600
Speaker 2: Pretty good image rehabilitation for Brittany Mahomes, getting her a

3364
02:27:11,640 --> 02:27:14,440
Speaker 2: little bit love hanging out with Taylor Swift. Right, remember

3365
02:27:14,520 --> 02:27:17,240
Speaker 2: how much hate and derision she's been getting. It's kind

3366
02:27:17,280 --> 02:27:19,720
Speaker 2: of like Aaron Rodgers in this whole offseason with the Jets.

3367
02:27:20,000 --> 02:27:21,880
Speaker 2: How do I repair my image?

3368
02:27:22,520 --> 02:27:25,760
Speaker 1: I also love the of course there thinks is no reservations,

3369
02:27:26,080 --> 02:27:28,440
Speaker 1: but you know, when you're that level of famous, you've

3370
02:27:28,480 --> 02:27:31,400
Speaker 1: got somebody that says, hey, Taylor wants to come into

3371
02:27:31,440 --> 02:27:32,920
Speaker 1: the and then the question is just to they give

3372
02:27:32,959 --> 02:27:34,760
Speaker 1: him the whole restaurant, you know, Like I mean.

3373
02:27:35,800 --> 02:27:39,640
Speaker 2: I did years ago my ex and I she was

3374
02:27:39,720 --> 02:27:42,720
Speaker 2: a student at Stanford and we were celebrating someone's birthday

3375
02:27:42,720 --> 02:27:45,440
Speaker 2: and we went to a well, a local Italian eatery,

3376
02:27:46,080 --> 02:27:48,560
Speaker 2: and it just so happened that it was graduation week

3377
02:27:48,600 --> 02:27:52,240
Speaker 2: and that was when Chelsea Clinton was at Stanford. Secret

3378
02:27:52,280 --> 02:27:54,320
Speaker 2: Service kept us outside for a good hour and a half.

3379
02:27:55,400 --> 02:27:59,520
Speaker 2: We eventually did get to meet Sir President and the misses,

3380
02:27:59,600 --> 02:28:03,000
Speaker 2: but yeah, it took a while. They pretty much shut

3381
02:28:03,040 --> 02:28:04,400
Speaker 2: down the back half of the restaurant.

3382
02:28:05,000 --> 02:28:07,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, rules or rules for people not named Taylor Swift.

3383
02:28:07,520 --> 02:28:09,400
Speaker 1: That's just the way that's that's just the way the

3384
02:28:09,440 --> 02:28:12,120
Speaker 1: world works at this point. But in fairness, even if

3385
02:28:12,160 --> 02:28:15,520
Speaker 1: she want, like, look, nobody's gonna give any sympathy to Taylor.

3386
02:28:15,560 --> 02:28:17,800
Speaker 1: I know that. But let's also acknowledge that even if

3387
02:28:17,800 --> 02:28:19,800
Speaker 1: Taylor wanted to go out and just have a normal dinner,

3388
02:28:20,120 --> 02:28:23,240
Speaker 1: it's absolutely impossible for her to do that, And you know,

3389
02:28:23,440 --> 02:28:25,879
Speaker 1: and so they have no choice put to shut down

3390
02:28:25,879 --> 02:28:27,520
Speaker 1: places like that, and they have no choice put to

3391
02:28:27,600 --> 02:28:30,840
Speaker 1: let her take it over, because otherwise it would be

3392
02:28:31,120 --> 02:28:31,920
Speaker 1: mayhem inside.

3393
02:28:32,000 --> 02:28:34,120
Speaker 2: Well, think about the extra security costs and all of

3394
02:28:34,160 --> 02:28:36,200
Speaker 2: those fun things that have to come with it, right too,

3395
02:28:36,320 --> 02:28:38,760
Speaker 2: with the crush of people, and you always have to

3396
02:28:38,920 --> 02:28:41,879
Speaker 2: account for potential bad actors. Thanks so much, Isaac at

3404
02:29:02,200 --> 02:29:05,240
Speaker 2: get after it here a little bit later on today,

3405
02:29:05,360 --> 02:29:09,040
Speaker 2: Bills favored by three the home date. I heard you

3406
02:29:09,120 --> 02:29:10,720
Speaker 2: with Andy as I was driving in a little bit

3407
02:29:11,040 --> 02:29:14,040
Speaker 2: talking about, well, you go to Buffalo here and then

3408
02:29:14,120 --> 02:29:16,200
Speaker 2: they've got to come to Miami when it's ninety nine

3409
02:29:16,240 --> 02:29:20,120
Speaker 2: degrees at the end of the season. And it's interesting

3410
02:29:20,160 --> 02:29:22,840
Speaker 2: when we start looking at schedules and playing it out.

3411
02:29:23,480 --> 02:29:26,560
Speaker 2: But through three weeks trying to determine that we truly

3412
02:29:26,760 --> 02:29:30,240
Speaker 2: know what any team is, I think is fool's gold.

3413
02:29:30,360 --> 02:29:32,640
Speaker 2: Like we have to because the show is today. To

3414
02:29:32,760 --> 02:29:35,760
Speaker 2: quote my friend Arnie Spaniard, who I know is listening

3415
02:29:35,840 --> 02:29:39,600
Speaker 2: high Arnie. But the idea that we've got a full

3416
02:29:39,760 --> 02:29:43,000
Speaker 2: beat on either of these or any of these teams, really,

3417
02:29:43,400 --> 02:29:45,400
Speaker 2: I can tell you the Bears are bad, right that

3418
02:29:45,560 --> 02:29:50,360
Speaker 2: we know functional dysfunctional is that is the function in

3419
02:29:50,600 --> 02:29:54,400
Speaker 2: hallis Hall. Chase Claypool after a quiet week chirped off

3420
02:29:54,480 --> 02:29:57,320
Speaker 2: and now he's a healthy scratch. But you look at

3421
02:29:57,360 --> 02:30:01,560
Speaker 2: the Bills that first game against the Jets, big spotlight

3422
02:30:01,680 --> 02:30:04,080
Speaker 2: nine to eleven game, Aaron Rodgers, all those and Josh

3423
02:30:04,120 --> 02:30:05,680
Speaker 2: Allen a couple of times looked like he was just

3424
02:30:06,000 --> 02:30:09,240
Speaker 2: playing street football, going punt check or I'm just gonna

3425
02:30:09,240 --> 02:30:10,680
Speaker 2: throw it up and see if my guy can go

3426
02:30:10,760 --> 02:30:13,640
Speaker 2: make a play, and they did so they go down

3427
02:30:13,680 --> 02:30:16,240
Speaker 2: as interceptions and they all count the same in our

3428
02:30:16,320 --> 02:30:19,400
Speaker 2: fun and exciting football world. But a crushing loss, or

3429
02:30:19,440 --> 02:30:21,640
Speaker 2: so it seems. And then they bludge in the next

3430
02:30:21,680 --> 02:30:24,320
Speaker 2: two opponents, who I think we stipulate our bad teams

3431
02:30:24,360 --> 02:30:27,760
Speaker 2: at least to this point right evaluating where we are today.

3432
02:30:28,240 --> 02:30:31,800
Speaker 2: Whereas the Dolphins put seventy on Denver, Well, you and

3433
02:30:31,879 --> 02:30:34,920
Speaker 2: I both had Denver in our metal stand of ineptitude

3434
02:30:35,640 --> 02:30:39,160
Speaker 2: again clean for Sunday Morning radio. They beat up on

3435
02:30:39,240 --> 02:30:42,360
Speaker 2: the Chargers, who we've seen time and again Randon Staley's

3436
02:30:42,360 --> 02:30:46,560
Speaker 2: a defensive guy. They don't play defense. And then you

3437
02:30:46,640 --> 02:30:48,960
Speaker 2: get the middle game against New England. They score twenty four.

3438
02:30:49,320 --> 02:30:51,840
Speaker 2: It becomes a twenty four to seventeen game. Folks can

3439
02:30:51,959 --> 02:30:55,800
Speaker 2: argue about whether it was ever quote competitive, but through

3440
02:30:55,879 --> 02:30:58,440
Speaker 2: this point we're crowning the Dolphins, you know, to his

3441
02:30:58,600 --> 02:31:00,480
Speaker 2: numbers are exactly the same as they were a year

3442
02:31:00,520 --> 02:31:05,040
Speaker 2: ago this time exactly the same almost. I think it's

3443
02:31:05,160 --> 02:31:09,680
Speaker 2: yard fer yard, touchdown for touchdown everything, and yet it

3444
02:31:09,800 --> 02:31:12,880
Speaker 2: feels so much different that everybody wants to crown Mike

3445
02:31:12,959 --> 02:31:16,160
Speaker 2: McDaniel the next genius, that we're going over the top

3446
02:31:16,560 --> 02:31:21,320
Speaker 2: to celebrate them after bludgeoning the hapless Denver Broncos. Now

3447
02:31:21,400 --> 02:31:24,000
Speaker 2: that does that mean I think Buffalo goes in and

3448
02:31:24,240 --> 02:31:27,879
Speaker 2: buries them at home. No, but to think, as I've

3449
02:31:27,920 --> 02:31:30,080
Speaker 2: heard some over the course of the week and in

3450
02:31:30,240 --> 02:31:33,640
Speaker 2: my timeline on Ax telling me all that you know,

3451
02:31:33,760 --> 02:31:36,640
Speaker 2: this is the juggernaut that's going to be unstoppable. I say, well,

3452
02:31:36,720 --> 02:31:40,200
Speaker 2: not so fast. It's still a road game, still some familiarity,

3453
02:31:40,280 --> 02:31:43,080
Speaker 2: and last I saw they still play some decent football

3454
02:31:43,120 --> 02:31:43,840
Speaker 2: in Buffalo too.

3455
02:31:44,840 --> 02:31:46,959
Speaker 1: I mean, the Bills are my preseason Super Bowl pick,

3456
02:31:47,040 --> 02:31:49,200
Speaker 1: which is lazy, but I felt good about it.

3457
02:31:49,320 --> 02:31:52,600
Speaker 2: And if that's a pick, that's the pick. I overthink things. Jason,

3458
02:31:52,640 --> 02:31:54,199
Speaker 2: that's not that's not your fault.

3459
02:31:55,879 --> 02:31:57,880
Speaker 1: Well, I think you know part of this though, because

3460
02:31:57,879 --> 02:32:00,160
Speaker 1: you're right when you're three games into the season and

3461
02:32:00,320 --> 02:32:03,240
Speaker 1: you know a little bit, And one of the burdens

3462
02:32:03,240 --> 02:32:04,960
Speaker 1: of the beast of what we all do in a

3463
02:32:05,040 --> 02:32:06,880
Speaker 1: twenty four hour news cycle is we don't have time

3464
02:32:06,920 --> 02:32:08,920
Speaker 1: to figure out what it really means long term, so

3465
02:32:09,440 --> 02:32:11,120
Speaker 1: you just sort of have to analyze as you go.

3466
02:32:11,680 --> 02:32:14,480
Speaker 1: We've gotten some really good and some questionable from Buffalo,

3467
02:32:14,560 --> 02:32:17,560
Speaker 1: but it's a very simple questionable, like will Josh Allen

3468
02:32:17,600 --> 02:32:19,400
Speaker 1: take care of the football? Like that seems to be

3469
02:32:19,600 --> 02:32:22,840
Speaker 1: the number one question when you take on the Miami Dolphins,

3470
02:32:22,840 --> 02:32:24,400
Speaker 1: who I think you make a very good point that

3471
02:32:24,680 --> 02:32:26,640
Speaker 1: for all the yards they put up and for all

3472
02:32:26,680 --> 02:32:29,320
Speaker 1: the points that they put up the first two games,

3473
02:32:29,360 --> 02:32:31,760
Speaker 1: I mean that Chargers game Week one could have gone

3474
02:32:31,800 --> 02:32:34,440
Speaker 1: either direction, frankly, and then they get the week to

3475
02:32:34,520 --> 02:32:38,160
Speaker 1: win over the Patriots, who I think are just awful, frankly,

3476
02:32:38,320 --> 02:32:40,240
Speaker 1: And so now what do I really have at this

3477
02:32:40,320 --> 02:32:43,039
Speaker 1: point from Miami? This becomes one of those landmark prove

3478
02:32:43,080 --> 02:32:46,000
Speaker 1: it games, right, so we'll learn so much about both sides.

3479
02:32:46,360 --> 02:32:49,240
Speaker 1: I think it's premature to sit here and talk about

3480
02:32:49,240 --> 02:32:51,400
Speaker 1: the demise of the Buffalo Bills. Frankly, if you take

3481
02:32:51,520 --> 02:32:55,000
Speaker 1: last year, remember last year Josh Allen threw too many interceptions,

3482
02:32:55,040 --> 02:32:57,280
Speaker 1: They battled some injury issues, they had a catshphe on

3483
02:32:57,360 --> 02:33:00,200
Speaker 1: the field, and they still won thirteen games. Part of

3484
02:33:00,200 --> 02:33:02,360
Speaker 1: the reason that I had a problem with this conversation

3485
02:33:02,480 --> 02:33:04,440
Speaker 1: that the Jets were going to win the AFC East

3486
02:33:04,640 --> 02:33:06,880
Speaker 1: was my answer was, find me the extra three or

3487
02:33:06,920 --> 02:33:09,880
Speaker 1: four losses. Buffalo is suddenly gonna take this year. Even

3488
02:33:09,920 --> 02:33:12,800
Speaker 1: though they've underperformed in the playoffs, they haven't underperformed in

3489
02:33:12,800 --> 02:33:14,800
Speaker 1: the regular season. They've been great in the regular season.

3490
02:33:14,920 --> 02:33:17,280
Speaker 1: So let's have the playoff conversation when we get there.

3491
02:33:17,560 --> 02:33:20,280
Speaker 1: So now to your point, Tua is doing exactly what

3492
02:33:20,360 --> 02:33:22,320
Speaker 1: he did last year, which is why he was part

3493
02:33:22,600 --> 02:33:25,160
Speaker 1: of the MVP conversation before he got hurt last year.

3494
02:33:25,520 --> 02:33:28,080
Speaker 1: And now we get a real, actual test for two

3495
02:33:28,160 --> 02:33:31,040
Speaker 1: teams that have to show a lot like the Bills

3496
02:33:31,120 --> 02:33:33,879
Speaker 1: have the opportunity at home to show hey, Week one

3497
02:33:34,080 --> 02:33:36,040
Speaker 1: was just a lot of different emotions with a rusty

3498
02:33:36,080 --> 02:33:38,000
Speaker 1: football team that didn't play a lot in the preseason

3499
02:33:38,080 --> 02:33:40,120
Speaker 1: that needed to iron some things out, this is who

3500
02:33:40,160 --> 02:33:42,400
Speaker 1: we are. The Dolphins have the opportunity to come in

3501
02:33:42,480 --> 02:33:44,440
Speaker 1: and show, hey, we can do this on anybody. If

3502
02:33:44,440 --> 02:33:46,280
Speaker 1: the Dolphins go in and put up thirty five or

3503
02:33:46,360 --> 02:33:49,000
Speaker 1: forty points on the Bills, then the rest of the

3504
02:33:49,120 --> 02:33:51,280
Speaker 1: NFL's got a crisis on their hands because the Dolphins

3505
02:33:51,280 --> 02:33:53,520
Speaker 1: shouldn't be able to run up that many points every week,

3506
02:33:53,840 --> 02:33:56,600
Speaker 1: even against the quality opponent. I really think what makes

3507
02:33:56,640 --> 02:33:58,800
Speaker 1: this game the most interesting is that it is a

3508
02:33:58,920 --> 02:34:01,320
Speaker 1: prove it game for both team in whatever narrative we want.

3509
02:34:01,560 --> 02:34:03,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, we get eight Chan right, because we've got to

3510
02:34:04,480 --> 02:34:06,720
Speaker 2: change how we pronounce his name. The thing I've liked

3511
02:34:06,800 --> 02:34:09,840
Speaker 2: most through the three weeks is some reliance on the

3512
02:34:09,959 --> 02:34:12,840
Speaker 2: run game, right. They all the talk of Dalvin Cook

3513
02:34:12,879 --> 02:34:15,600
Speaker 2: should have come in. Well, Dalvin Cook looks washed and

3514
02:34:15,720 --> 02:34:19,400
Speaker 2: part of that is the Jets offensive lines no good.

3515
02:34:19,600 --> 02:34:22,039
Speaker 2: And let's face it, with Zach Wilson there, when they

3516
02:34:22,120 --> 02:34:24,040
Speaker 2: do actually try to run the ball, I mean, you're

3517
02:34:24,040 --> 02:34:26,520
Speaker 2: already stuffing the box because he's not throwing the ball

3518
02:34:26,600 --> 02:34:30,199
Speaker 2: more than four yards down the field, but relying on Mostert,

3519
02:34:30,959 --> 02:34:32,879
Speaker 2: who I liked when he was in San Francisco, part

3520
02:34:32,920 --> 02:34:35,720
Speaker 2: of a machine there, but goes down and between him

3521
02:34:35,760 --> 02:34:38,680
Speaker 2: and eight Chan. If they can keep that rolling, then

3522
02:34:38,800 --> 02:34:40,720
Speaker 2: then I'm intrigued. I'm curious to see what kind of

3523
02:34:40,760 --> 02:34:43,160
Speaker 2: lift they get with DeMar Hamlin coming back because I

3524
02:34:43,240 --> 02:34:46,720
Speaker 2: really do think we underestimate what kind of effect that

3525
02:34:46,840 --> 02:34:49,600
Speaker 2: had to the end of their season, hitting the playoffs

3526
02:34:49,720 --> 02:34:52,280
Speaker 2: last year. How do you rally to come back and play?

3527
02:34:53,520 --> 02:34:56,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think that's the human element that we

3528
02:34:56,440 --> 02:34:58,800
Speaker 1: forget so often with football teams like this, Just the

3529
02:34:59,080 --> 02:35:03,400
Speaker 1: human element of of tragedy is hard to shake off.

3530
02:35:03,640 --> 02:35:05,960
Speaker 1: So you know, I think the Bills can show that

3531
02:35:06,080 --> 02:35:08,600
Speaker 1: they're they're legit today in a big, big way, and

3532
02:35:08,760 --> 02:35:10,680
Speaker 1: tomorrow morning the conversation is going to be about the

3533
02:35:10,720 --> 02:35:11,320
Speaker 1: winner of this game.

3534
02:35:11,640 --> 02:35:13,959

3550
02:36:01,120 --> 02:36:03,680
Speaker 1: Phil great human being, one of my favorite people ever

3551
02:36:03,760 --> 02:36:06,400
Speaker 1: toured with, and I was still a close friend to

3552
02:36:06,480 --> 02:36:09,959
Speaker 1: this day. So yeah, absolutely. My first my first ever

3553
02:36:10,160 --> 02:36:12,400
Speaker 1: real road gig where somebody paid me to play, was

3554
02:36:12,440 --> 02:36:14,800
Speaker 1: with Phil and he was like a mentor and like

3555
02:36:14,879 --> 02:36:17,400
Speaker 1: brother and a close friend. So lucky to spend a

3556
02:36:17,440 --> 02:36:19,039
Speaker 1: few years and play on some of his records.

3557
02:36:19,080 --> 02:36:19,440
Speaker 2: So here you go.

3558
02:36:19,720 --> 02:36:20,400
Speaker 1: Phil's a great too.

3559
02:36:20,480 --> 02:36:22,360
Speaker 2: You're tied it all together. One of my favorite songwriters.

3560

3567
02:36:42,480 --> 02:36:45,120
Speaker 2: I love the slinky dog first down marker on this

3568
02:36:45,360 --> 02:36:49,959
Speaker 2: Disney Plus Toy story game except every Guy's skip leg day, Jason.

3569
02:36:51,040 --> 02:36:53,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, they all look too like the animators decided to

3570
02:36:54,000 --> 02:36:56,960
Speaker 1: make them all particularly short. But I love all of

3571
02:36:57,040 --> 02:36:58,560
Speaker 1: the graphics. I'm telling you, like you knew, I was

3572
02:36:58,560 --> 02:37:00,440
Speaker 1: a little like, Yeah, I don't know. I can't get

3573
02:37:00,520 --> 02:37:01,960
Speaker 1: enough of this. And by the way, why is it

3574
02:37:02,000 --> 02:37:04,200
Speaker 1: I can see the field better on this broadcast when

3575
02:37:04,200 --> 02:37:06,920
Speaker 1: it comes to who's open downfield? Like, it's amazing. The

3576
02:37:06,959 --> 02:37:09,240
Speaker 1: angle they're using on this thing is great. So gee

3577
02:37:09,320 --> 02:37:12,760
Speaker 1: the almost twenty two early on. Yeah, look it comes

3578
02:37:12,840 --> 02:37:15,440
Speaker 1: down to this. Watch two minutes of it and if

3579
02:37:15,480 --> 02:37:17,959
Speaker 1: you don't like it, turn it off and go find

3580
02:37:18,000 --> 02:37:18,720
Speaker 1: someone to give you a.

3581
02:37:18,800 --> 02:37:22,959
Speaker 2: Hug because clearly you hate fun. All right, A couple

3582
02:37:23,080 --> 02:37:26,600
Speaker 2: more games to get to on the slate. Pittsburgh and

3583
02:37:26,680 --> 02:37:29,280
Speaker 2: Houston is interesting to me. Houston with no offensive line,

3584
02:37:29,320 --> 02:37:34,000
Speaker 2: but CJ. Stroud has been fantastic. Tank Dell Nathaniel Dell.

3585
02:37:34,080 --> 02:37:37,120
Speaker 2: If you're collecting rookie guards, as he's still tagged on

3586
02:37:37,320 --> 02:37:41,039
Speaker 2: most of them. Forty two is the total TJ. Watt

3587
02:37:41,200 --> 02:37:43,240
Speaker 2: going against that offensive line should be fun.

3588
02:37:44,200 --> 02:37:47,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, and you know, I think two things can

3589
02:37:47,040 --> 02:37:49,600
Speaker 1: be true at once. Right, the Texans can be playing

3590
02:37:49,680 --> 02:37:51,920
Speaker 1: much better than any of us expected. We can all

3591
02:37:52,000 --> 02:37:54,240
Speaker 1: be really happy with where they are as an organization

3592
02:37:54,320 --> 02:37:56,960
Speaker 1: and where things are moving, and also we can look

3593
02:37:57,000 --> 02:37:58,280
Speaker 1: at it and say it's still a little bit of

3594
02:37:58,320 --> 02:38:00,600
Speaker 1: a work in progress. So, you know, well, frankly, I

3595
02:38:00,640 --> 02:38:03,080
Speaker 1: don't believe in the Steelers offense at all. I think

3596
02:38:03,120 --> 02:38:06,360
Speaker 1: the Steelers offense barely scored enough to get by against

3597
02:38:06,400 --> 02:38:09,440
Speaker 1: a particularly bad, sorry to say it out loud, Raiders

3598
02:38:09,560 --> 02:38:12,880
Speaker 1: defense was able to be gashed. I think the Raiders

3599
02:38:12,879 --> 02:38:15,120
Speaker 1: aren't a particularly good team. We all know that. So

3600
02:38:15,120 --> 02:38:17,119
Speaker 1: I don't know how much I believe in the Steelers offensively,

3601
02:38:17,160 --> 02:38:19,480
Speaker 1: But I believe in the Texans growth wise and where

3602
02:38:19,480 --> 02:38:22,400
Speaker 1: they're headed in this season. So I think I think

3603
02:38:22,480 --> 02:38:24,640
Speaker 1: every week is a little bit a step forward for

3604
02:38:24,760 --> 02:38:26,800
Speaker 1: growth and hope for Texans fans.

3605
02:38:26,920 --> 02:38:30,520
Speaker 2: As we always quote Calipari on our evening show, Smith

3606
02:38:30,520 --> 02:38:35,480
Speaker 2: and I succeed and proceed. Stock points don't matter sometimes

3607
02:38:35,520 --> 02:38:37,640
Speaker 2: in college football you still need to impress folks that

3608
02:38:37,680 --> 02:38:40,280
Speaker 2: are voting beyond that, just get the victory and move

3609
02:38:40,360 --> 02:38:42,880
Speaker 2: on all right, Time for the chicken and beer game

3610
02:38:42,920 --> 02:38:45,480
Speaker 2: of the day, I E. Where am I getting my wings?

3611
02:38:46,080 --> 02:38:48,560
Speaker 2: Getting some beer and sitting down for three plus hours

3612
02:38:48,600 --> 02:38:49,879
Speaker 2: and investing my life today?

3613
02:38:49,959 --> 02:38:53,039
Speaker 1: Jason, Well, look, if you live in Connecticut, the only

3614
02:38:53,080 --> 02:38:55,840
Speaker 1: place to get wings is J tims J Timothy's. They've

3615
02:38:55,920 --> 02:38:58,560
Speaker 1: won Food TV's Best Wings in the Country multiple times

3616
02:38:58,600 --> 02:39:00,359
Speaker 1: and they are the best wings I've ever had, including

3617
02:39:00,440 --> 02:39:03,480
Speaker 1: everywhere in Buffalo. So the wings always come from J. Tims.

3618
02:39:03,520 --> 02:39:05,680
Speaker 1: So there's no doubt about that. But it's gonna be

3619
02:39:05,720 --> 02:39:07,400
Speaker 1: diet rupier because you know, I don't like to get

3620
02:39:07,440 --> 02:39:09,600
Speaker 1: two tanks while I'm watching. And the game of the

3621
02:39:09,680 --> 02:39:11,880
Speaker 1: day is obviously aid and O'Connell right, like we can

3622
02:39:11,920 --> 02:39:14,560
Speaker 1: all agree, AOC playing for the Raiders gets Chargers.

3623
02:39:14,800 --> 02:39:17,440
Speaker 2: The NY said, no, it's you said AOC. Half our

3624
02:39:17,480 --> 02:39:18,960
Speaker 2: audience just got really mad at you.

3625
02:39:19,920 --> 02:39:21,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I should point out we need to work on

3626
02:39:21,800 --> 02:39:23,960
Speaker 1: the nickname a little bit. AOC is the nickname of

3627
02:39:24,080 --> 02:39:26,920
Speaker 1: Aidan O'Connell on X. I don't know why, but yes,

3628
02:39:27,240 --> 02:39:29,080
Speaker 1: just pointing out I'm talking about the quarterback.

3629
02:39:29,200 --> 02:39:31,160
Speaker 2: There you go. I'm going on in New England, Dallas.

3630
02:39:31,600 --> 02:39:33,960
Speaker 2: I want to see what Dallas is. After getting punched

3631
02:39:34,000 --> 02:39:36,520
Speaker 2: in the mouth, a week ago, and I still keep

3632
02:39:36,600 --> 02:39:40,320
Speaker 2: trying to apologize for Bill Belichick the coach and trying

3633
02:39:40,360 --> 02:39:42,680
Speaker 2: to not hold the sins of Bill Belichick the GM

3634
02:39:42,760 --> 02:39:46,960
Speaker 2: against him. He's Jason Fitz. Find him on Exit Jason Fitz,

3635
02:39:47,120 --> 02:39:49,400
Speaker 2: Me and Swollen Dome count down to kickoff next here

3636
02:39:49,600 --> 02:39:50,600
Speaker 2: on Fox Sports Radio
