1
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:12,959
Speaker 1: This is Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre. Hello and welcome

2
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 1: back to Straight Fire. I am Jason McIntyre. It's Thursday,

3
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:22,239
Speaker 1: September t folks, we have waited two hundred and twenty

4
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 1: two days for this. That was when the last football

5
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 1: game was played. Really fun Super Bowl Chiefs rally from

6
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 1: down ten in the fourth quarterfinal eight minutes actually to

7
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:34,879
Speaker 1: stun the forty nine ers. Worst yet they covered the

8
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:37,480
Speaker 1: spread I had the Niners. I was feeling so good

9
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 1: about that one. But I digress. That season is in

10
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:45,480
Speaker 1: the books and now we're onto the campaign. Been waiting

11
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 1: a long time for football. Listen, we don't know what

12
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 1: the college football season is gonna look like that. I mean,

13
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: that's the reality. If you guys look at this Saturday Slate,

14
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 1: I mean I think five or six games have been canceled.

15
00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 1: SEC not getting underway. Fortunately, you know, we got some

16
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:06,479
Speaker 1: grown man football tonight. Texans Chiefs very excited. It made

17
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 1: the best bet. You'll have to wait for the end

18
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 1: of the podcast for that. You know, the NFL is

19
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 1: playing for real money. These guys are gonna show up.

20
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,479
Speaker 1: The COVID testing has gone great in the NFL. I'm

21
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 1: very excited but before I get to Chiefs and Texans,

22
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: I've got to tell you about this absurd story in

23
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: the NFL. I don't think it got much play this

24
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: week on the radio TV. I haven't listened to any

25
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: other NFL podcasts, so I don't know if they've discussed it.

26
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:35,040
Speaker 1: But it revolves around criticism and Tom Brady. Before I

27
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 1: get to the story, your daily reminders, subscribe, rate, and review,

28
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 1: you know the drill, alright, So I always like to,

29
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 1: you know, get into the story of the day with

30
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: like a little vignette from my life, a little slice

31
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: of something where I can relate. And when it comes

32
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: to criticism, I have to say I I thrive off criticism.

33
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: I embrace it, love it. When I first got out

34
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: here to l A in twenty six, team right, so

35
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: I had only done TV a handful of times, and

36
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: now it was gonna be on daily, on on a

37
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 1: show for FS one. And the weird thing you get

38
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:15,799
Speaker 1: instantly in the TV industry is just relentless optimism about

39
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 1: every show, every segment. Oh that was awesome, Oh that

40
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 1: was great, that was terrific. Great job. And I'm one

41
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: who needs criticism. I'm like, this couldn't be perfect. There's

42
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: no way I'm dominating. What do I need to improve on?

43
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 1: Like what about this? I stumbled over that word for

44
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: come on? It was nothing. It happens in every show,

45
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: every day. And I'm telling you, like this happens at

46
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 1: ESPN two because I have buddies over there and I've

47
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,399
Speaker 1: talked to them and it's like everybody is just relentlessly

48
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 1: positive and everybody's upbeat about everything. But I need the

49
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 1: constructive criticism to get better. Like I'm a TV rookie.

50
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 1: Of course you're gonna have to say, Jason, you're not

51
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 1: doing this well, you're not doing that well. And so finally,

52
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:56,959
Speaker 1: after six months of me kind of badgering like, hey,

53
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 1: what do I need to work on? Like I want

54
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 1: to get better. I mean I feel good. Everybody says

55
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: I'm doing good, but come on, I'm a rookie, come clean.

56
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: And finally a producer of experienced guy takes me up

57
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: on it and says, okay, all right, and he cut up,

58
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 1: you know, like maybe he was like eight or nine

59
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: minutes of film and he showed like a breakdown of well,

60
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:19,639
Speaker 1: here you are looking at your notes, and that kind

61
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:23,639
Speaker 1: of conveys to the audience that you don't you know,

62
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:25,639
Speaker 1: know exactly what you're talking about. And if you look

63
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 1: on these sports shows, you don't see a lot of

64
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 1: guys looking down at their notes. It's just off the cuff. Okay,

65
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: that's that's that's that's the constructive criticism I'm looking for.

66
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: I'm not taking it as I suck taking this. Okay,

67
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: I gotta work on that and work on the eye

68
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: contact and don't jump in and interrupt. And I would

69
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: sometimes use the same words to get started on my spiel,

70
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: and I was like, Okay, I gotta diversify my game.

71
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: And I love that, and I want to give you this,

72
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: this guy a shout out, Chris. Really, he's still at

73
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: FS one. He does a great job, runs a bunch

74
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: of shows, and like, I was so thankful for that,

75
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: and I was able to then go and work on

76
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 1: specifically what I needed to work on. The problem with

77
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: this NFL story is when the criticism is about Tom Brady,

78
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: who's only, you know, the most accomplished quarterback in NFL

79
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: history six Super Bowls. Nobody can match that. And I

80
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: know what you're thinking, Well, Jason, of course you can

81
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: find criticism about Tom Brady. Well, you know, You can

82
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: nippick all you want, but at the end of the day,

83
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 1: he's Tom Brady. In two decades, he won six Super Bowls,

84
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,160
Speaker 1: he's been a nine. Like, come on, are you kidding me?

85
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: Do you think in the sports media industry, do you

86
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,719
Speaker 1: think they go and nitpick Calvert and Stephen A. Smith

87
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 1: and Will bon and Kornheiser. No, those guys have been

88
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: doing this for ten years. Yeah, there are things that

89
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: they can work on, I'm sure, and they probably get small,

90
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 1: tiny feedback. But criticism is another thing. And that's what

91
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 1: Tom Brady was so pissed about here. And this story

92
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 1: is crazy when you look into it. It's like, hold up,

93
00:04:55,720 --> 00:05:00,799
Speaker 1: a guy wrote a book titled The Dynasty, obviously about

94
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: Brady Belichick the Patriots. Uh. The author's name, I gotta

95
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 1: give him a shout out as Jeff Benedict. I do

96
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: not know Jeff Benedict. But there is an incredible passage

97
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: in this book that talks about Tom Brady, his wife,

98
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:20,839
Speaker 1: the supermodel Giselle, meeting with the owner of the Patriots,

99
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,719
Speaker 1: Robert Kraft, after they lost the Super Bowl to the Eagles.

100
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: Remember that was a pretty good game, I think it was.

101
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: And if you notice Bill Belichick is not mentioned in

102
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 1: this meeting. It's Brady, his wife, and Robert Kraft. And

103
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 1: remember Craft thinks of Brady is like a son. Okay,

104
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 1: that's why Jimmy Garoppolo got traded because Brady was like, Yo,

105
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 1: what's going on here? Why is Belichick bringing in Jimmy

106
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: g Get him out of town? I'm the guy. Okay.

107
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 1: The passage in this book, Giselle pointed out how ridiculous

108
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 1: it was that after all these years, Belichick still treated

109
00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 1: Brady like fucking Johnny Foxborough. That's a direct quote from

110
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 1: the book. It was bad enough to never voice approval.

111
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:09,479
Speaker 1: It was bullshit to still be dressing down the most

112
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 1: accomplished quarterback in league history during team meetings and treating

113
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 1: his personal trainer and best friend like some kind of

114
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:23,479
Speaker 1: outcast who. So remember this is Giselle going off to

115
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:28,160
Speaker 1: Robert Kraft about the Patriots. Craft wasn't surprised by their

116
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 1: feelings toward Belichick. He hadn't, however, expected to hear Brady

117
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: and Bunchin wanted to leave New England. Okay, So that's

118
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 1: from this book. I have not read it yet. Um

119
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 1: The Dynasty by Jeff Benedict So just consider what went down. Okay,

120
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: anybody out there who has a wife knows you have

121
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 1: brought work home before. Okay, you come home, you're frustrated,

122
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 1: you have to deal with this guy who just oh,

123
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: he's the worst, and you tell your wife. Every guy

124
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 1: in America does it. This is natural. Okay, if you're

125
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: not sharing that with your wife, if I think, maybe

126
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,600
Speaker 1: you've got some problems. But everybody vents a little bit

127
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 1: to the wife. Fortunately, I have not had to work

128
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: with too many crazy people. Um so I haven't vented

129
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 1: that much. There have been things I vented about. That's natural.

130
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 1: But you're Tom Brady. Tom Brady is venting to Giselle

131
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 1: about Bill Belichick. To me, I'm shocked Tom Brady didn't

132
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 1: just say, Yo, Bill, what's up? Why you gotta disrespect

133
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 1: me like that in front of the entire team. Now,

134
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 1: this is where I take a time out and I'm

135
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: gonna play the Bill Belichick side of the coin, and folks,

136
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 1: this doesn't totally surprise me from Belichick again, and I've

137
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: talked about this plenty of times, not on this podcast,

138
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 1: just in general. Bill Belichick's dad served in World War Two. Okay,

139
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 1: then he went to the Naval Academy where he was

140
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 1: a coach. Bill Belichick grew up in essentially a military household.

141
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 1: You know, military Okay, My dad, who was not in

142
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 1: the military, had a very famous saying, it's my way

143
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 1: or the highway. That's how a lot this military mindset

144
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 1: is like, yo, you're nothing special. You're gonna fall in

145
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: line like everyone else. And Belichick treats Tom like everybody else. Now,

146
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 1: I've been on the set with guys like t J.

147
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 1: Houshmnzada and um Rich Ornberger, guys who have either played

148
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 1: with Brady or been in that room where Belichick dressed

149
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 1: down Brady. And to me, listen, I kind of get

150
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,319
Speaker 1: it on one hand that you've got to treat him

151
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,839
Speaker 1: like he's any guy, but he's Tom Brady. At the

152
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: same time, you were talking about the most accomplished quarterback

153
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 1: in NFL history. And I know some people are like, well, listen,

154
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: Belichick's half the reason they want. Okay, but just remember

155
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter, who was on the field leading

156
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: the game winning drive where they set the kicker up

157
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 1: for the game winning kicked Tom Brady against the Rams

158
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl. Tom Brady did the same thing

159
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 1: against the Panthers in the Super Bowl, Tom ad Okay

160
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 1: against the Seattle Seahawks, a legion of boom best defense

161
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: in the league, fourth quarter twice drove the length of

162
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: the field for touchdowns to win that game. And yes,

163
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 1: I know Pete Carroll screwed it up, blah blah blah,

164
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 1: but Brady has always been clutch. He has always delivered

165
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 1: four Super Bowl m v P Awards for Tom Brady.

166
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 1: And you're still treating him like he's any guy on

167
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 1: the team and like, and this leads to a decent

168
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: debates like, well, you know, if you start giving him

169
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 1: preferential treatment, Listen, at some point you gotta give him

170
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 1: preferential treatment. You don't think Lebron has preferential treatment, Kawhi Leonard.

171
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:40,959
Speaker 1: You don't think Pat Mahomes is gonna get a little

172
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: bit of leniency with Andy Reid. Like this seems natural

173
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,559
Speaker 1: to me. And you could push back all you want

174
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,679
Speaker 1: and say, listen, Belichick, how to right? And I understand.

175
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 1: I think if I'm in belichick spot, and boy would

176
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: I have loved to have been coach of the Patriots

177
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 1: during a two decade roll of dominance. But if you

178
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:04,839
Speaker 1: have a sense you're gonna lose your quarterback. Yeah, maybe

179
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 1: you ease up a little bit at the end. Bill.

180
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: Now that also, that little story from this book leads

181
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 1: me to wonder does Brady goes scorched earth on the

182
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 1: NFL this year with the Buccaneers. I mean, it's a

183
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: loaded question because he's got a new playbook, a new

184
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 1: head coach, new scipe position players, living in a new town.

185
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 1: There's a lot of new there. It's probably not gonna

186
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:32,199
Speaker 1: click initially, but oh man, but you know, Brady wants

187
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 1: to prove he can do it without Belichick. And this

188
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 1: is gonna be something to watch. By the way, game

189
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 1: of the weekend Sunday, late afternoon game. You know, Everybody's

190
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: going to be glued to Brady's debut. And it just

191
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 1: so happens to be in New Orleans against the Saints. Um.

192
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: I mean that there's no bigger sporting event this weekend.

193
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 1: I can't, I personally cannot wait for that game. By

194
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 1: the way, on Friday's podcast, we will break down all

195
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 1: the good games. Maybe not Jaguar's Colts, but we'll break

196
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 1: down all the good games. We're gonna do that every

197
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 1: Friday Football. It's finally here. We're all thankful, all very excited.

198
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: Now let's get to the NBA. All right. I don't

199
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 1: know how much I want to do on the batshit

200
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 1: crazy Raptors Celtics game, because I know this is just

201
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 1: gonna devolve into me going off on the referees. First

202
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 1: of all, yes, I had the Celtics in the best

203
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 1: bet it lost. I bet on them. They didn't come through,

204
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 1: but the refs did me no favors. Okay, so many

205
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: questionable calls. Listen if you have a chance to go

206
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:40,319
Speaker 1: on YouTube and pull up the overtime. I mean, Daniel

207
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 1: fights these whatever whatever his last name is, caught to

208
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 1: Alley dunks that were great place. He was foul on

209
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 1: both of them, hammered on one of them, foul definitely

210
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 1: about no whistles on either of them. You breathe on

211
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: Kyle Lowry and it's a foul, And I mean, I

212
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 1: just there's so much back and forth. It was frustrating.

213
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say this, the NBA needs to figure out

214
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 1: what to do with this whole replay system. I'm down

215
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: with the replays. I want to get it right, But

216
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:11,239
Speaker 1: when you have players like three times a game instantly

217
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,719
Speaker 1: doing like the tornado finger and being like, let's go

218
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 1: go on, let's run that back. We gotta check it out,

219
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 1: like it's just because it's just I don't know, it's

220
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 1: just too much of that, you know. Anyway, that's my

221
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 1: big take. What I will add this Kyle Lowry what

222
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 1: a baller. I mean, that guy was phenomenal. He's just

223
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 1: a winner. This is what he is. He's a clutch player.

224
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: He at thirty three, he totally outclassed Kemba Walker, who

225
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 1: was terrible. Listen, I'm gonna be real. Celtics don't have

226
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: much of a bench at all. They had four guys

227
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: play over fifty minutes. Yes, I know the Raptors did too,

228
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 1: but they actually have a bench. They can steal minutes

229
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 1: with the kid Davis, who's good. They could steal minutes

230
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 1: with Ibaka and Chris Bouscher. Like the Celtics can't do

231
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 1: much outside the Wannamaker and and Grant Williams and Semi

232
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 1: for like a really short period of time. So I

233
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 1: give the Raptors the edge heading into Game seven. And

234
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:08,479
Speaker 1: that's just a tough, tough beat for Boston. Double overtime

235
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,199
Speaker 1: at loss. By the way, Jayson Tatum had three air

236
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 1: balls in fourth quarter and overtime shades of Kobe Bryant

237
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 1: and m Jalen Brown took thirty shots, a little bit excessive,

238
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:24,320
Speaker 1: but overall good game. Frustrated with the referees, Rob gi

239
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 1: Any thoughts are. The one thing I saw that come

240
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:28,440
Speaker 1: out of this game which I thought was interesting was

241
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 1: the end of the fourth quarter when I think Tatum

242
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,559
Speaker 1: had a key turnover. We threw the ball out of bounds.

243
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: It was about two minutes left in the game. He

244
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 1: was looking at Feasts in the corner and just missed

245
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 1: him by three feet, and the internet sleuth saying that

246
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 1: it was Nick Nurse and he goaded him into that

247
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: turnover by standing right at the corner of the court

248
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 1: to make it look like he was, you know, an

249
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 1: open shooter, and he was yelling and clapping. Yea, yeah,

250
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 1: So I thought that was kind of funny. But you know,

251
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 1: other than that, I mean, I'm looking forward to Game seven.

252
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 1: My Raptors baby had told you, so the game seven

253
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,719
Speaker 1: will be Friday night, which is actually perfect. Listen, the

254
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 1: weekend lines up great, right, you get game four Lakers Rockets,

255
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 1: and they wisely, wisely moved it up to four pm Pacific,

256
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: so it won't totally coincide with the NFL game. And

257
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 1: then Friday you get a game seven. Saturday you get

258
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 1: some college football. Sunday you get NFL. Monday you get

259
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 1: two games. I mean, rob g, this is shaping up

260
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: to be a good weekend. Do we care at all

261
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 1: about the Clippers Nuggets game? Is? I know you want

262
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 1: you don't care about the game. You just want to

263
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 1: take a shot at somebody. Go ahead, No, it's not

264
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 1: that I just want to take a shot at somebody.

265
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: But yes, Jamal Murray is a clown and he's like,

266
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 1: and I've been trying to tell you this now for weeks. Look,

267
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 1: those fifty point games that he had against Utah were

268
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 1: a mirage. Okay, now you're seeing exactly who this guy

269
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 1: is coming into Wednesday's night's game. He was averaging seventeen

270
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 1: points on thirty six percent shooting from the field in

271
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 1: the series. But somehow he's, you know, a top twenty player.

272
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 1: Look what he did against Joe Ingalls and Donovan Mitchell,

273
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 1: who I only play you know, offense. Come on, dude,

274
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 1: Like you know he's okay, he's like the third or

275
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 1: fourth best player on a championship team. I've known Rob

276
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 1: g for maybe what two years now, two and a

277
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 1: half years. He doesn't go in on folks like this.

278
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 1: Jamal Murray really must have gone after the Lakers back

279
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 1: and well he started it. It was Alonzo, him and Lanzo.

280
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 1: He started it, and then before it was D'Angelo Russell,

281
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 1: former Laker. These guys come on, man like, do something

282
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 1: first before you start acting like a clown. Alright, fact,

283
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 1: Jamal Murray's struggling in this series. Okay, he's struggling. They're

284
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 1: they're focused on him. It's Beverly, it's George, it's Kauai.

285
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 1: These are really top notch defenders. Jamal Murray is not

286
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 1: getting to the free throw line. They've taken away the

287
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 1: three pointer from him, I mean three three point attempts.

288
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 1: I still believe he's a top twenty five, maybe top

289
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 1: thirty player in the league. And here here's how we

290
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 1: make this interesting. Ken, Jamal Murray be the number one

291
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 1: player on your team on a championship team, we would agree, No,

292
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 1: Kenny be number two. And I'm saying, if you put

293
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 1: Jamal Murray on the Bucks and Janice is the number one,

294
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 1: I think the Bucks are improved significantly. I would take

295
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 1: Jamal Murray over Middleton in a heartbeat. You're crazy. Chris

296
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 1: Middleton was like decimal points away from being part of

297
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 1: the club. Now I don't think whatever. I don't think

298
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 1: Chris Middleton is that good either. But if you want

299
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 1: to say the outlier, you know, explosion in the playoffs,

300
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 1: Look what he did in what was that Game four

301
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 1: against the Heat. I mean Chris Middleton was their offense

302
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 1: in overtime to get that win. So you know that

303
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 1: this would say the sun shines on a dog's ass someday.

304
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 1: You know, everybody has one or two good games. I

305
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 1: mean not to say that Jamal Murray is a bad player,

306
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 1: he just not that good. So I what I can't

307
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 1: get over was last year Chris Middleton in a big spot,

308
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:08,920
Speaker 1: okay huge, the biggest series of his career against the Raptors.

309
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 1: He averaged This was when he was an Allstar. He

310
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 1: averaged third team points a game in that series, shot

311
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 1: thirteen points a game against the Raptors. I mean that

312
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:24,920
Speaker 1: is laughable. I mean Jamal Mury' struggling aginst the Clippers.

313
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,400
Speaker 1: This is his second playoff series ever or no, I'm

314
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 1: sorry he did have a playoff series last year, right,

315
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 1: um with the Nuggets guest, so fine, he's there's like

316
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 1: his fourth playoff series ever and he just averaged like

317
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:40,399
Speaker 1: thirty nine or whatever it was against the Jazz. Like,

318
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,159
Speaker 1: I'm going, Jamal, this is maybe we'll open this up

319
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 1: to the audience and you guys can tweet at us

320
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 1: or whatever. Jamal Murray or Chris Middleton. Now they don't

321
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:52,120
Speaker 1: play the same position. Middleton's much older, Jamal Murray's twenty three.

322
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 1: He's just scratching the surface. Um, but yeah, the Nuggets

323
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 1: are out classed. And I don't know, Rob g let's

324
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 1: just put a bow tie on h NBA here, anything

325
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 1: on Clippers Lakers, which were still a little bit away

326
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 1: from well, one thing I will say is as much

327
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 1: as you know, I'm a Laker homer, you know that.

328
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 1: I mean, Kawhi Leonard's awesome, you know, watching this game

329
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 1: and I even had to put a tweet out about

330
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,359
Speaker 1: in the middle of the fourth quarter, It's like, I

331
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 1: wish that he had some kind of personality so I

332
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 1: could have a thing to root against him for in

333
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 1: the series coming up, you know, because it's hard to

334
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 1: dislike somebody who doesn't have a personality. The only thing

335
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:31,880
Speaker 1: and come up with is that his teammates are Pat

336
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:35,199
Speaker 1: Bev and Paul George. Like negative, Yeah, that's the only

337
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 1: negative I could think of. Um. I still, like I've

338
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 1: been saying all along, I'm more concerned as a Laker

339
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,639
Speaker 1: fan of going against Houston than I am against the Clippers.

340
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 1: I think that the the Clippers, the Lakers can play

341
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 1: their conventional style, and I think that I'll put a

342
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 1: D and Lebron over Paul George and Kauai any day

343
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,400
Speaker 1: of the week. And that's pretty much what it comes

344
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:00,040
Speaker 1: down to. Has been phenomenal against I mean, if you

345
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 1: watch him, he just he's playing with such ease. If

346
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 1: I feel like I've seen him miss one mid range

347
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 1: shot in this series, anything like foulon extended. It seems automatic.

348
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 1: When he wants to play defense near the rim, like

349
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,880
Speaker 1: you're not scoring on him. Like but again it's the Nuggets,

350
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 1: Like I'm not getting too excited. I will say one

351
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 1: final note on the NBA, just because the story came

352
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 1: out late Wednesday night. Don't know if you saw it

353
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,359
Speaker 1: or not. Daniel House, the sixth man of the Rockets,

354
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 1: who was you know, I listen, this guy was pretty solid,

355
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 1: uh in the last series for them against Okay, see,

356
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 1: he's shone well against the Lakers. He missed Game three,

357
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 1: And finally the story came out late Wednesday that the

358
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 1: NBA is looking into like an I don't know, I

359
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 1: guess it's called something along the lines of it, like

360
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 1: an unacceptable visit. Um, he and the Rockets are not

361
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 1: saying what happened, but he didn't leave the bubble, and

362
00:19:56,720 --> 00:20:00,119
Speaker 1: the unacceptable visit is centered around, like I guess, the

363
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 1: girl who showed up to hang with him in the bubble.

364
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 1: Now that part hasn't really come out yet, but it's

365
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 1: unclear if this is just some random chick from Instagram

366
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:12,920
Speaker 1: or somebody who wanted to get in the bubble. Is

367
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:16,639
Speaker 1: maybe not bragging about it, but it ain't a family member,

368
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 1: meaning it's not his his wife, and um, you know

369
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 1: there is some I'll just say this. Rockets fans have

370
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 1: said that he has a girlfriend and a kid back

371
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 1: in Houston, and this is apparently just a nightmare for

372
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 1: Daniel House, who wasn't thinking about it. His status, you know,

373
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 1: for tonight's Game four up in the air, and that's

374
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 1: lost man, Rob g I don't. I don't know how

375
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 1: to put it lightly, like James Harden just can't catch

376
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 1: a break. I do feel a little bad for James Hartin,

377
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:46,680
Speaker 1: like he's got this knucklehead on his team trying to

378
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 1: sneak a sneak a girl into the bubble for a

379
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 1: hook up, and now the guy is probably not going

380
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 1: to play the rest of the series. Hey man, it's

381
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 1: a war of attrition in that bubble. Everybody knows. I mean,

382
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:01,479
Speaker 1: when you're an NBA a player or even any kind

383
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 1: of professional athlete, getting your groove on is not something

384
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,400
Speaker 1: you struggle with. You know that you're probably three four

385
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 1: times a week if your legs will allow it. So

386
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:13,920
Speaker 1: for these guys to go what now eight ten weeks, Yeah,

387
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 1: it's hard to blame Daniel House for doing what do

388
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 1: you have to do. It's just it sucks that he

389
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 1: got caught. Man. Yeah, well, I mean, you know, I

390
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 1: don't know, Daniel House is total background, but uh, you know,

391
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 1: this is the kind of guy. He wasn't like a

392
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:28,400
Speaker 1: high draft pick, right, this is a guy who got

393
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 1: into the league, found a niche with the with the

394
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 1: rockets as a three and D guy. Uh yeah, I'm

395
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:36,920
Speaker 1: looking it up right now. Undrafted out of Houston and

396
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,680
Speaker 1: Texas A and M. He spent time with the Delaware

397
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 1: seven eighties seven ers. That's a real team in the

398
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 1: G League. I guess the Rio Grande Valley Vipers last year.

399
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:48,920
Speaker 1: And now he's in the NBA and he's thriving and

400
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:50,680
Speaker 1: he and he screws it all up by bringing a

401
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 1: chicken to the bubble, an unauthorized girl, I mean Daniel

402
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 1: house bro I don't know, clean it up all right. Um,

403
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:02,480
Speaker 1: obviously Game four tonight Lakers Rockets, I do not have

404
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 1: it on best bet. Lakers are favored. It's tough for

405
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:08,200
Speaker 1: me to go against the Lakers now, but only one

406
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,680
Speaker 1: game tonight because the other series has done so. NBA

407
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 1: starting to get down to the conference finals. We'll talk

408
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:17,920
Speaker 1: a little bit about Game seven Raptors Celtics tomorrow. But

409
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 1: now it's time for the best bet. The only thing

410
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 1: better than sitting on your couch watching the game. He's

411
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 1: making money while you do it. Here's your best bet. Alright,

412
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,359
Speaker 1: it's time for the best bet here on straight Fire.

413
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 1: By the way, the best bet is going to be

414
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:40,160
Speaker 1: sponsored sooner than later. I had some discussions Wednesday about

415
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 1: a potential sponsor for the best bet, which is cruising.

416
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 1: We were cruising and then I was looking for a bruising.

417
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:48,439
Speaker 1: On Wednesday, I had the Celtics and we took an

418
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 1: l uh Celtics did not come through the double overtime loss.

419
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:55,640
Speaker 1: So I'm at fourteen five and one and I'm moving

420
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 1: off the NBA in the best bet and I'm going

421
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 1: with an NFL pick. It's the start of the NFL season,

422
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:02,879
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, this is what We're gonna do

423
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:04,680
Speaker 1: a lot of NFL gambling on the show. You guys

424
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 1: love NFL uh takes gambling. I will do dabble in

425
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,639
Speaker 1: fantasy and survivor leagues. I do it all. I'm a

426
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:16,959
Speaker 1: full service shop. So my play for the NFL season opener.

427
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:18,959
Speaker 1: I don't have a side here. I know a lot

428
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 1: of people are like, you gotta take de textions. Everybody's

429
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,879
Speaker 1: on the Texans. Yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and pass

430
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 1: on the side. I'm gonna take the over fifty four.

431
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 1: I think it's sales over fifty four. It's actually come down.

432
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 1: It was fifty six earlier in the summer. It's come

433
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,639
Speaker 1: down to fifty four. Listen, the last time they met

434
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:38,120
Speaker 1: it hit. I think it was a D eight two

435
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 1: somewhere in that in that vicinity. I just I'm not

436
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:45,160
Speaker 1: a believer in this Chief's defense. Pass rush still not there. Listen.

437
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:47,159
Speaker 1: The defense was great at the end of the regular

438
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 1: season and then Deshaun lit him up in the playoffs.

439
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 1: I mean they gave up the first twenty four points

440
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 1: to Deshaun Watson. That being said, I'm not a believer

441
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 1: at all in the Houston Texas defense. They were a

442
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 1: joke lass to your folks. Dead last in red zone defense,

443
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 1: dead last and third down defense. A couple of new

444
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:09,920
Speaker 1: starters on on one at cornerback and one on the

445
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 1: defensive line. Listen, this is not a team that's gonna

446
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:15,200
Speaker 1: stop Patrick Mahomes. I'm sorry. Okay, you haven't tackled. You

447
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 1: haven't faced as they say, like live bullets. You know

448
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 1: they haven't. I haven't seen any real tackling. And now

449
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 1: you gotta keep up with Kole Hartman, Tyreek Hill, Travis Kelsey.

450
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 1: Uh you know the new running back out of l

451
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:30,160
Speaker 1: s U. Listen, this game cruises over fifty four. That's

452
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 1: your best bet for Thursday, September tenth. Everybody, thanks for listening. Subscribe,

453
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,399
Speaker 1: rate and review. I'm out. We'll see you tomorrow.
