18
00:00:55,840 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 2: already had a packed morning. College football Michigan Johman without

19
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 2: Jim Harbaugh. Bet, Okay, we're gonna to get into that

20
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 2: because I'm gonna be honest. I don't understand. I went

21
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 2: on a deep dive on social media. Saw Brady tweeted it.

22
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 2: There's a lot of people just tweeting bet. Is it

23
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 2: an acronym for something or is it like bet on

24
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 2: us We're gonna be fine?

25
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 3: Because they were.

26
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,040
Speaker 4: That's how I took it. If I'm wrong, I mean

27
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 4: I also didn't do a deep dive and try to

28
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 4: figure it out, but I was. I just took it

29
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 4: as it started with their quarterback, right JJ McCarthy was

30
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 4: the first one. I think that was like bet and

31
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 4: then the whole team, even Tom Brady. I think it

32
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:29,320
Speaker 4: was like just like bet, we're.

33
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 5: Fine, bet on us us. We'll get to that in

34

Speaker 5: just maybe it's not.

85
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,600

Speaker 2: But I tap a couple of times and they just

Speaker 2: to bump myself up because I gotta I gotta drink

94
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 4: So you know what, I just realized. Also, the way

95
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 4: you didn't fight with your microphone today, it's.

96
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 5: A good day, Alex. You didn't fight with your microphone today.

97
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 2: Guys, I have such a weird time with this microphone

98
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 2: that doesn't move all the ways.

99
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 5: I want to tell you.

100
00:03:58,600 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 3: It was kind of already set up for me.

101
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 6: I just moved it over all.

102
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 2: Right, let's get to our mid season report cards. Okay,

103
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 2: we're gonna go through. We got the best, the worst, uh,

104
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 2: most improved, the biggest disappointment, biggest surprise.

105
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,039
Speaker 4: Big surprise, there one, whichever way you want to go

106
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 4: about it, honestly.

107
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,799
Speaker 2: Okay, So, and it's from wak one to now you guys, Yes, right,

108
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 2: We're gonna start with.

109
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 3: The best the best, and I'm gonna go with the Eagles.

110
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 2: All right, you know, everything stop, not really, because everything

111
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 2: about this team is clicking on all cylinders, and it's

112
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 2: been a slow build. They're not like they weren't winning

113
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 2: pretty and easily early on. They were just kind of

114
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,039
Speaker 2: finding ways to win. Obviously, they were in the Super

115
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 2: Bowl last year and they lost, so they have that

116
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 2: chip on their shoulder. But and this may contradict my point,

117
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 2: they're not the best or top in all of the stats.

118
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 2: But they don't have to be the best at everything.

119
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 2: They just need to be the best product on the field, right,

120
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 2: Because their offense is second in points per game, third

121
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 2: in yards per game, hurts his fifth in passing yards,

122
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 2: tenth in passer rating, and their defense is kind of

123
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 2: middle of the pack twentieth and points allowed, in thirteenth

124
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 2: in yards allowed.

125
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 5: But stats are great, Yeah, but what matters.

126
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,840
Speaker 2: Are wins, and they are winning games, and they have

127
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 2: the best record in the NFL eight and one plus.

128
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,479
Speaker 2: I just I love that Jason Kelce is like having

129
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 2: a full glow up right now. Finalist for Sexiest Man

130
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,479
Speaker 2: Alive this week, spend his bye week on Thursday Night football.

131
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 2: He is just I love that family, right, and I

132
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 2: love Jason Kelce. So, yeah, the Eagles are the best

133
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 2: so far mid point of the season.

134
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 3: Who's your best?

135
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,119
Speaker 5: So I actually agree with a lot of what you said.

136
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 4: That right to me, there is no team that is

137
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 4: a clear front runner, like you just said, You're right

138
00:05:58,160 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 4: by wins.

139
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 5: The Eagles are the best. I agree with you.

140
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,160
Speaker 4: Everyone's kind of like there's a couple of teams that

141
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 4: could pull this off, right, including the Eagles.

142
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 5: But You're right, there's not one team. So I didn't

143
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:08,679
Speaker 5: pick a team. I picked a player.

144
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 7: Okay, Christian McCaffrey like has scored a touchdown every single game,

145
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 7: if not two, if not three, for how much, sixteen

146
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 7: seventeen games in an I love McCaffrey, like, he is

147
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 7: a huge part of the success of the forty nine ers,

148
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 7: and I think a lot of people weren't sure what

149
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 7: he was gonna do.

150
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 5: What do you mean because I don't want to jurious.

151
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 2: Yes, Ay, he's like kind of been through some stuff.

152
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 2: I mean, I've had an injury.

153
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 5: One was the one. I think people were worried.

154
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 4: Not that nobody wants him to get nobody wants anyone

155
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,359
Speaker 4: to get hurt, but I think people were worried that

156
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 4: it was his time, you know, like it just happens you're.

157
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 5: A running back.

158
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 2: But he instead, look at him, he got a second

159
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 2: chance in the league, a win ass team. Yeah, Like,

160
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 2: so every and every gauge to like this amazing successful woman.

161
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, very pretty, uh cool pol Olivia, coolpole, That's what

162
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,479
Speaker 4: it is. Yeah, Yeah, I just it's like every single

163
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 4: game he has delivered.

164
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 5: Now, have the Niners won every single game?

165
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 4: No, they've lost the three in rows, but he individually, Yeah,

166
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 4: is to me the best performance midway through the season.

167
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I'll take him every day.

168
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, we're gonna go the opposite now, the worst.

169
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 2: We're gonna go the worst, the worst halfway through. I'm

170
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 2: sticking with the team here, and I'm gonna say the

171
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 2: Patriots are hot under Bill Belichick. Okay, you should not

172
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 2: be two and seven at all. Offense is bad, defense

173
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 2: is bad. Mac Jones is bad, and Mac Jones is

174
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 2: who Bill Belichick as the coach. And the GM went

175
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 2: out and picked he has not lived up to the expectations.

176
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 2: And at one point they're like, ah, maybe it's because

177
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 2: he didn't have an offensive coordinator last year.

178
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 3: But they got you Bill O'Brien this year, and Mac

179
00:07:59,480 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 3: is nowhere.

180
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 2: You're where they expected him to be, not worth a

181
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 2: fifteenth overall pick. They went from a dynasty to an

182
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 2: embarrassment in a little over.

183
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 3: Three years.

184
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 2: I mean, this is Bill's fourth season without Tom Brady

185
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 2: and they have not won a playoff game since Tom

186
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 2: Brady left. And when you go from the Goat to

187
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 2: the Mac, your expectations are going to be sky high

188
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 2: because that was the standard for twenty years.

189
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 5: I like that line though, from the goat to the

190
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 5: Mac like that, that was a good line.

191
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 6: Yeah.

192
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 3: So for me, Patriots.

193
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 4: So I'm in a team and a player who Daniel

194
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 4: Jones and the Giants yikes. To me, the expectation was there.

195
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,679
Speaker 4: Brian Dable wins Coach of the Year last year, Daniel

196
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 4: Jones signs a massive contract, Saquon Barkley fighting for a

197
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 4: massive contract, all.

198
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 5: Of this expectation.

199
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 4: Now, I know there's injuries involved, but prior to the injuries,

200
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 4: it looked nasty. It took them what seven quarters to Yeah,

201
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 4: it was ugly, sta you know what I'm saying. Yeah,

202
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 4: and that could be cool, nasty, Yeah, none of those things.

203
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 5: None of those things.

204
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 4: It has not looked pretty from the beginning. And it's like,

205
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 4: what what so was last year?

206
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 5: Are you?

207
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 6: Yeah?

208
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 2: Sometimes you just like you're playing for your life, you're

209
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 2: playing for your career, and that's what they were doing,

210
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:33,719
Speaker 2: and that's what he did.

211
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 3: And then he get paid and then everything kind of goes.

212
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 4: Like if I were a Giants fan, it's got to

213
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:43,599
Speaker 4: be such a frustrating season and we're only halfway and

214
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 4: they have.

215
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 5: To still It's not like they can tap out and

216
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 5: be like, hey, you know what, you're done for the season.

217
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 6: I just feel real bad for like a.

218
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:54,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're right right, you know. But they've had a

219
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,680
Speaker 4: lot of success over the years. But to me, Daniel

220
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 4: Jones and the Giants are the worst so far halfway

221
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 4: through the season, and I don't see them getting any better.

222
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:04,959
Speaker 6: No, they're not.

223
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 5: No, no, yeah, no, blutal No, it's bad.

224
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 2: I think it's like a Cowboys are like a seventeen

225
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 2: and a half point yeah to tomorrow.

226
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, no, that's bad.

227
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 3: Okay, we're gonna move to most improved now.

228
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:19,839
Speaker 2: Remember this is from week one to now, because you're

229
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 2: gonna be like Alex he's one of the best. Why

230
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 2: is he the most improved? My most improved is Joe Burrow. Okay,

231
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,079
Speaker 2: because the way Joe started the season to where he

232
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 2: is now further proves why he is one of the

233
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:31,680
Speaker 2: best in the game.

234
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 3: Obviously, he was injured.

235
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:37,679
Speaker 2: He started the season, started the preseason injured with his

236
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 2: calf injury. His Week one loss to the Browns was

237
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 2: one of the worst in his career. Eighty two passing yards,

238
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 2: worst of his career, only completed forty five percent of

239
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 2: his passes worst of his career. Fast forward to the

240
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 2: last four weeks, they've won four straight games. In those games,

241
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 2: ten touchdowns, only two interceptions, a passer rating of one

242
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 2: to eleven point two, and a completion percentage of seventy

243
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 2: five point eight. Since Week five, bro has the best

244
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 2: passer rating in the league.

245
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 5: That's right, still has a lot of work to do.

246
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 2: They have that seventh like if the playoffs started today,

247
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 2: they've got like seventh spot in the AFC, so they're

248
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 2: in like that playoff last wild card spot. But if

249
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,599
Speaker 2: they're playing that the way they are, they are trending

250
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 2: in the right direction, and I think they're just they're gonna.

251
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 3: Be just fine, all right.

252
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 5: I like that because you know, I love Joe Burrow,

253
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 5: so I'm into that. Oh I love love that guy.

254
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 5: You're blinded, I know, And I just smiled.

255
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 8: I was like, Yeah, does he like.

256
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 2: My Michael Jordan sparkling football?

257
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 6: I hope.

258
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 5: So I bottle that I have, Yes, I actually have.

259
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 4: But one of my friends gave me a cup and

260
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,079
Speaker 4: it's him with glasses and it says a cup of

261
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 4: Joe sick.

262
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 5: So cute. I was like, I know, I.

263
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:55,839
Speaker 3: Collection, I do need to start bringing them in.

264
00:11:56,080 --> 00:12:00,040
Speaker 5: I'm just gonna put them behind us. I mean, if yeah, no.

265
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 3: Give me, come on.

266
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,239
Speaker 5: Most improved for me is gonna.

267
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 4: Be the Texans because last year they weren't this obviously,

268
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 4: and then at the start of the season they were

269
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 4: expected to just win six games.

270
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 6: That's it.

271
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 4: Right now, they're four and four in the AFC South

272
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 4: and c J. Stroud rookie quarterback, kicking ass and taking

273
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 4: names with a rookie coach. I just am like watching

274
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,719
Speaker 4: them every single time. And they started zero and two

275
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 4: to start the season, so it's like they really have

276
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:33,959
Speaker 4: improved slowly but surely.

277
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 5: And watching CJ.

278
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 4: Stroud, like, come on, did you think they were gonna

279
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,839
Speaker 4: have a better record than the Tennessee Titans, like right

280
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 4: now midway?

281
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 5: No.

282
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:41,680
Speaker 9: No.

283
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 4: If you would have asked at the start of the season,

284
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 4: halfway through, who's gonna have a better record, the Tennessee

285
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 4: Titans or the Houston Texans, you would have said, Derrick

286
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:49,680
Speaker 4: Henry and the Titans.

287
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 5: That's what naturally you would have said. And they're not.

288
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 4: And it's just incredible. Go Houston Texans to me, most

289
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 4: improved for sure.

290
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 2: This leads us to kind of flows right into my

291
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 2: biggest surprise, biggest surprise, My biggest surprise this season is

292
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 2: CJ Stroup. Last weekend, he said the NFL rookie record

293
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 2: with four hundred and seventy passing yards in a single

294
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 2: game beat the Bucks. After Baker Mayfield had an end

295
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,079
Speaker 2: of the game touchdown, looked like it was gonna be over,

296
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,680
Speaker 2: CJ had forty six seconds, went seventy five yards in

297
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 2: six plays to win the game. Now, as you mentioned,

298
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 2: there was a lot of question marks coming into the

299
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 2: season for CJ.

300
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:30,680
Speaker 5: In Houston.

301
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 2: Obviously not an organization with a great history, right, they

302
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 2: had first year head coach, as you mentioned, the offensive

303
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,679
Speaker 2: coordinators also in his first year as an OC. Now,

304
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 2: people expected CJ to be good, but I don't think

305
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 2: they expect him him to be this good in this

306
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,439
Speaker 2: situation at this moment.

307
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:51,679
Speaker 4: It's fast, And do you remember at the start of

308
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 4: the season, these quarterbacks they take like a cognitive test,

309
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 4: like an NFL cognitive test, and he scored like the

310
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 4: second lowest and everybody couldn't get over that. And while

311
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,679
Speaker 4: Bryce Young scored I don't know, like such a good score.

312
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 4: And so I feel like nobody really expected this out

313
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 4: of CJ. Strout, especially after that test and he's like,

314
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,079
Speaker 4: watch this and even said, I'm not a test taker.

315
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 2: I deliver on the field. I get that, and I'm

316
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 2: not either. I'm a great public speaker. I am a

317
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 2: great like in person. Let's have a conversation. I was a.

318
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 6: Horrible test taker.

319
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 5: Yeah no, I like that. I love your biggest surprise

320
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 5: I got, you know what.

321
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 4: I have a few that I really could list off,

322
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 4: but I'm gonna give it to Puka Nakula of the

323
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 4: Rams because I.

324
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 5: Just feel like nobody was talking about him.

325
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 3: You know, current people.

326
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 4: You have rookies that you hear about, right, like, oh,

327
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 4: keep an eye on this guy, keep an eye on

328
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 4: this one.

329
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 5: I never heard keep an eye on.

330
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 2: Pooka Nakua, especially since like Cooper Cup was injured to

331
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 2: start the season and still hasn't fully like been back

332
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 2: to the Cooper Cup that we know.

333
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 4: Right, the Rams, who everyone just kind of brushed off

334
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 4: thinking it wasn't gonna be a good season, literally has

335
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 4: one games. Because poku aua top five in receiving yards,

336
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 4: like you just said, filled a huge role while Cooper

337
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 4: Cup was gone. I just wasn't expecting it. I love

338
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 4: his name biggest surprise for me. You go, Poka, I

Speaker 2: I Amlex Curry here with Monty Blanio's We are broadcasting

403
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 2: live from the Tyrek dot Com studios in Los Angeles. Now, Mancy,

404
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 2: every sports team requires chemistry, yes, right, but that chemistry

405
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 2: is a little different in each sport, in each game,

406
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,200
Speaker 2: and when it comes to the NBA, because there's only

407
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 2: five of you on the court, chemistry is everything. And

408
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 2: last week we're seeing firsthand why chemistry is so important.

409
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 3: Okay, James Harden, your.

410
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:46,640
Speaker 2: Boy, your new boy made his debut with the Clippers

411
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:50,920
Speaker 2: on Monday, and since then, the Clippers are oh in three,

412
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:53,199
Speaker 2: lost to Luca and the MAVs last night. I can

413
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,400
Speaker 2: tell that's why you are not wearing your Clippers gear

414
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:58,959
Speaker 2: today and why I am wearing my Lakers gear because

415
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 2: Lebron willed them to a game.

416
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 3: But that's not the point.

417
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 5: No, it's not the point.

418
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 2: Now when you hear this roster, the Clippers roster James Harden,

419
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 2: Russell Westbrook, Paul George Kawhi, Leonard, they have four superstars

420
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 2: on their team right. They are healthy and playing together,

421
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 2: but for some reason, nothing is clicking. And when you

422
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 2: look at their team, all of their personalities are star power.

423
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 2: I'm the guy with the ball. Who is going to

424
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 2: be willing to take a back seat on this team?

425
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:33,440
Speaker 6: I don't know.

426
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 3: Because when you look at the team.

427
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:40,199
Speaker 2: That Harden left seventy six ers, seven and one, first

428
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 2: in the East.

429
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,159
Speaker 3: They've now won seven straight.

430
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 2: They look fluid, they look happy on the court, and

431
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 2: their leader Joelle Embiid talked about it this.

432
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 9: Week, the fact that guys want to, you know, play

433
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 9: with each other, and you know, they like being around

434
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:01,199
Speaker 9: each other. I think he helps a lot too, you know,

435
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:05,200
Speaker 9: guys are you know, sawfish on the ball is moving

436
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 9: no matter if the shots are going there or not.

437
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:10,399
Speaker 9: You know, guys are just happy.

438
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 2: They're happy, they're happy, there's chemistry, the ball is moving.

439
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 5: I think he also said nobody has an ego.

440
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 3: Mm hmm, yeah, yeah.

441
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,880
Speaker 5: You know, uh yeah, it's a very.

442
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 4: Uh frustrating situation. I never wanted hardened, and once it happened,

443
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 4: you know, I was like, all right, let's give it

444
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 4: a shot. And so some people let's give.

445
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 3: It a shot because I own the team and I

446
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:35,479
Speaker 3: played for the Clippers.

447
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 5: Oh you didn't know that, you Yeah, they run everything

448
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:39,639
Speaker 5: by me.

449
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:40,199
Speaker 6: You didn't know that.

450
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, they run everything by me. Yeah, exactly.

451
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 4: Uh So I was like, okay, I have to, you know,

452
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 4: as a fan, jump on board, right, And some people

453
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,680
Speaker 4: are like, how are you already you know, jumping off

454
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:56,159
Speaker 4: board And it's like, because this isn't is a small

455
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 4: sample size of playing with the Clippers, but the James

456
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:03,119
Speaker 4: Harden sample size. He's big and wide, and it's just like,

457
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 4: it's you are the issue, Like what is the Taylor Swift?

458
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:09,399
Speaker 5: Min me, I'm the problem.

459
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:09,679
Speaker 4: It's me.

460
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 6: It's me.

461
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 5: That's yeah, I'm the problem. It's me. And it's like

462
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 5: until he realizes, but you.

463
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:18,640
Speaker 4: Know what, I've come to the conclusion here, Alex, James

464
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:24,399
Speaker 4: Harden does not care about winning a championship. I have

465
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 4: come to that conclusion. It is the only thing that

466
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:31,160
Speaker 4: makes sense. Okay, we're gonna talk about others and perfect

467
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:36,439
Speaker 4: example like Chris Paul, Right, Chris Paul taking a back seat.

468
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 4: Why because he sees that he is in a position

469
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:44,920
Speaker 4: to actually win a championship. Yeah, James Harden, you are

470
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:48,399
Speaker 4: in a position to win a championship, but it doesn't

471
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:50,680
Speaker 4: matter to you. So to me, I think if I

472
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:52,199
Speaker 4: were to go up to James Harden and be like,

473
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,439
Speaker 4: you want one hundred million dollars or do you want

474
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 4: a championship, I think he would say I'll take one hundred.

475
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,120
Speaker 3: Mili, Like I might have to be a little bit more.

476
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 7: But you get get what I'm saying that he does

477
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 7: not care.

478
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 4: He said he wanted to be the scoring champion. What

479
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 4: are you talking about. You've already won an MVP, you

480
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:13,159
Speaker 4: were the sixth Man of the Year, You've already been

481
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 4: the scoring champion, and like, you don't care. He just

482
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:20,359
Speaker 4: does not care. And it's really frustrating to come into

483
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 4: a team that is putting all their eggs in one

484
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 4: basket once again for this season. And to see that

485
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 4: it's like already not working. Like there's little snippets where

486
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 4: I'm like, oh, okay, it could work. And you know

487
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,199
Speaker 4: when those snippets are all in the first quarter and

488
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 4: then all of a sudden, it's a different it's it

489
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 4: just doesn't work.

490
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 3: But that tracks out for James Harden.

491
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:43,920
Speaker 5: Right, right, So it's like, am I the stupid one?

492
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 6: Yes?

493
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:46,920
Speaker 5: I am, because I thought, yeah, you're just abandoning ship.

494
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 5: That's okay, I'm abandoning his ship.

495
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 3: Yeah.

496
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 2: But just to add on, you mentioned the Warriors with

497
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:56,359
Speaker 2: Chris Paul. They also had a chemistry issue with Jordan Poole.

498
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:58,639
Speaker 2: So they got rid of Jordan Poole. They picked up

499
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 2: Chris Paul. As you mentioned, people were wondering, is this

500
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 2: gonna work? Is he going to be able to take

501
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 2: a back seat for the first time in his career

502
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,160
Speaker 2: coming off the bench? And you know what, The Ryers

503
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:08,439
Speaker 2: have spent a good part of the start of their

504
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 2: season on the road. They currently have a seventy one

505
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:15,160
Speaker 2: percent win percentage on the road. Last year with Jordan

506
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 2: Poole horrible on the road, thirty seven win percentage, which

507
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 2: is a big deal when you're on the road.

508
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 3: You are family.

509
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 2: You are spending every waking moment with these people, these men,

510
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,879
Speaker 2: you need to get along. There needs to be a

511
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:31,360
Speaker 2: good chemistry totally.

512
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 4: And like to give credit to Draymond Green who is

513
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,159
Speaker 4: also does what he needs to do. He doesn't need

514
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 4: to be the star. That's why it works. Yeah, Jordan

515
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 4: Poole just had a quote saying that like he got

516
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:45,399
Speaker 4: everything he needed out of Golden State and now he

517
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 4: can play basketball the way he wants.

518
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:50,400
Speaker 5: And it's like, dude, are you hear yourself?

519
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 2: Like, and this is why you're not gonna work on

520
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 2: a championship tea exactly. Not gotta be team mentality, not

521
00:23:57,840 --> 00:23:59,919
Speaker 2: me mentality. All right, Now, let's check in with my

522
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 2: and wise to see what's trending.

523

539
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 12: start that over Buffalo Bill's our Receiversdefon Diggs mispracticed, but

540
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 12: he is expected to play tomorrow. Quarterback Kyler Murray also

541
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,280

547
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 12: Left tackle Trent Williams is still quote real questionable per

548
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:33,200
Speaker 12: head coach Kyle Shanahan.

549
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:35,720
Speaker 6: You know who's not questionable, You too, Alex and Monzi

Speaker 6: back to you.

551

Speaker 5: Let's bring in NBA insight. Mark Medina, thank you for

559
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 5: joining us.

560
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 13: Thank you, Mark, Hey, Alex Monse, thanks for having me.

561
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 13: Hey Monts, I'm wondering are you a Wakers fan yet

562
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 13: or are you so lowly?

563
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 6: Yeah?

564
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,399
Speaker 2: Mark right, I'm rocking my Lakers gear today, just to

565
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:14,680
Speaker 2: rub it interface a little bit.

566
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:16,360
Speaker 5: That's it. I'm leaving.

567
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:16,880
Speaker 6: It's okay.

568
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:18,640
Speaker 3: But hey monks, we're going to start with your team.

569
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:18,920
Speaker 6: Mark.

570
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 3: We have to start with a news star in La

571
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 3: James Harden.

572
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:24,160
Speaker 2: We have not seen the results on the court yet,

573
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 2: but take us into that locker room.

574
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 3: What has the vibe been like since he arrived.

575
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,479
Speaker 13: The Clippers have been preaching patients that this is going

576
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:35,119
Speaker 13: to take time. Everyone has to figure out their chemistry

577
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 13: and roles. And these are answers that I'm sure that

578
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 13: Monse doesn't like. But if there is a silver lining

579
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 13: to it and it's all relative, is that there's no

580
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,639
Speaker 13: sense that people are being frustrated with each other and

581
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:51,439
Speaker 13: people aren't willing to sacrifice. It's almost the opposite. They're

582
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 13: stressing that it's not like they're overly deferring to each other.

583
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 13: But from what I've seen on the court so far,

584
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 13: clearly either James Harden, Russell Westbrook, Kawhi Leonard, or Paul

585
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:07,400
Speaker 13: George are playing aggressive enough for this to make it work.

586
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 13: And it might sound contradictory because when you need to sacrifice,

587
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 13: you know, your individual performances to make this team work,

588
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 13: you may have to give up you know, shots, touches,

589
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 13: et cetera, but you can't give up your level of aggressiveness.

590
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 13: And I think that that's what's happened, that it's been overthinking.

591
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:29,400
Speaker 13: You know, there is this good intent that they don't

592
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 13: want to be the scapegoat and the guy that's being

593
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:34,880
Speaker 13: selfish with not making it work. But as a result,

594
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:39,200
Speaker 13: they're also not being aggressive enough to get enough Bothen opportunities.

595
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:42,640
Speaker 13: So it will take time. But you know, even though

596
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:45,439
Speaker 13: it's early in the season, part of the reason why

597
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:48,400
Speaker 13: the Clippers did this trade to begin with was they

598
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:52,400
Speaker 13: wanted to put more value in the regular season as

599
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:55,160
Speaker 13: opposed to past years with how it was always about

600
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 13: the big picture. So at some point they're going to

601
00:27:58,040 --> 00:27:59,640
Speaker 13: have to start showing some results.

602
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 2: Obviously hopefully get over that playoff hump and you know,

603
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 2: get to the top of the mountain. Now, you just

604
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:07,879
Speaker 2: named all the star power that the Clippers have on

605
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:11,879
Speaker 2: that team, and what you said it's not being aggressive enough.

606
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 2: But I mean, these are some of the best of

607
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:16,119
Speaker 2: the best. What's it going to take for it to

608
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 2: all start clicking.

609
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:19,919
Speaker 13: Well, I think that it's going to start with that

610
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 13: number one factor, and I think number two. I think

611
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:25,479
Speaker 13: that it's going to have to be about James Harden

612
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 13: being the primary ball handler. And unlike Russell Westbrook's time

613
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:33,120
Speaker 13: with the Lakers, where it wasn't a fit here, it

614
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 13: has been with a good fit with the Clippers. But

615
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 13: I think that at some point, for both those players' sakes,

616
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 13: they're going to have to stagger the lineups. Like when

617
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 13: I talked with one assistant coach before James Harden Harden's debut,

618
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 13: they said, maybe the best solution is for Tywoo to

619
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 13: make Russ this like fake starter, so like instead of

620
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 13: it creating this huge storyline of him coming off the

621
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 13: bench again, just shortened his rotations so that he can

622
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 13: lead the unit. Now in the short term, that's not

623
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 13: necessarily going to be a solution because they tried doing

624
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 13: that against Dallas and just things went off the rails,

625
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 13: partly because of the chemistry and partly because they just

626
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 13: don't have many bigs outside of the Viza Zubas because

627
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 13: of Mason Plumbley's injury. But I think big picture, at

628
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 13: some point it's going to have to be about him

629
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 13: running the offense because he's more comfortable with the ball

630
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 13: in his hands. But that does a mean that hard

631
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 13: and all of a sudden has to be the guy

632
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 13: that's just shooting. It's about being allowing him though to orchestrate,

633
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 13: so that you know, Kawhi MPG can get more open looks.

634
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 5: So Mark, you're telling me he has a requested a trade.

635
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 13: He has not, all right, for what it's worth, and

636
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:46,440
Speaker 13: I know that this might be met with an I

637
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 13: roll here, Mon said, but you know, I've talked with

638
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 13: folks you know that are in his camp, you know,

639
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 13: from Martesia and just people that worked with him, and

640
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 13: they've made it emphatically clear to me that for all

641
00:29:57,560 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 13: the things that we've seen with heart and the good,

642
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 13: bad and the I believe that he his main objective

643
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 13: is winning a championship, and he will do what it

644
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 13: takes to sacrifice his role. Now I'm with you. Probably

645
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 13: I'm waiting ce mode, but for what it's worth, the

646
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 13: people that know him well say that he has that

647
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 13: mindset going in partly because he knows what his reputation

648
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 13: has been these last years.

649
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 5: That's what I'm saying, reputation.

650
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 4: How am I supposed to believe that what he has

651
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:28,239
Speaker 4: done year after year after a year is not going

652
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 4: to happen this year. I just said to Alex, I

653
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 4: don't believe this guy wants to win a championship.

654
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 5: I don't think he cares.

655
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 13: Yeah, well, Mon say, look, I agree with you wholeheartedly

656
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 13: of when you know people show you what they do,

657
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 13: believe them right and action speak louder than words. Now

658
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 13: this isn't to defend him, but people around him will

659
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 13: say a lot of the things that didn't go well

660
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 13: these last few seasons. One, they do say that he's

661
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 13: got to take responsibility and hold up his end of

662
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 13: the bargain as far as health, conditioning performance. But a

663
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 13: lot of the frustrations were very specific. You know, Houston,

664
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:08,720
Speaker 13: everyone's already in rebuild mode. GM left, coach left, Russ

665
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 13: left like that was a team that was not contending

666
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 13: for a title, so he wanted out. Brooklyn frustrated that

667
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 13: Kyrie Irving's not available health related and you know, vaccine

668
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 13: mandate related. And then three the contract situation in Philly

669
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 13: with Zeryl Morier, where he was under the impression implied

670
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 13: or not that he would be rewarded with the contract

671
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 13: after taking a pay cut last summer. So their whole

672
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 13: point with this is that while there's certainly things he

673
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 13: needs to take responsibility for some of these variables that

674
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 13: contributed to all these toxic exits, they don't apply to

675
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:46,120
Speaker 13: what's happening with the Clippers. They're unique things. But to

676
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 13: your point, mon say, what is common is that it's

677
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 13: professional sports. When you're on a team with star studed guys,

678
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:53,520
Speaker 13: you're going to have to be comfortable with the justing

679
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 13: your role, and so far it hasn't worked out.

680
00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 5: You don't say Mark.

681
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 2: Move to the other team in LA. The Lakers not

682
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 2: off to the start that they wanted. They did get

683
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 2: a big win last night over the Suns, but we

684
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,479
Speaker 2: heard Lebron talk this week about how they haven't been

685
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 2: able to find that cohesion because of the injuries. Now,

686
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 2: do you agree it's the injuries are the big problem

687
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 2: or is there something bigger that we don't know?

688
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 13: Well, you can't discount the injuries. There have been so

689
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 13: many overlapping ones where I think that they haven't had

690
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:29,960
Speaker 13: a game where they've had their full roster together. And

691
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 13: that was partly why the Lakers were all about connuity

692
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 13: this offseason, because they saw what that led to with

693
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 13: the Western Conference Finals run. But I think it's also

694
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 13: there's been a few things here. Austin Reeves has had

695
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 13: some you know, poor shooting performances, didn't really carry that

696
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 13: strong level play that he showed in the playoffs, and

697
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 13: with Team USA, D'Angel Russell has had you know, mixed

698
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 13: performances here. So I think it's not just the injuries.

699
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 13: It's also you know, some of those unanticipated sluggish play

700
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 13: as well as the group itself. They've been outscored, you know,

701
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 13: in the first quarter through every single game this season,

702
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 13: and that's like, I think, one of the only teams

703
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 13: ever in NBA history that's ever experienced that. And so

704
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 13: while it is a small sample size, it's early. What

705
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 13: does leave me concerned is that clearly Lebron playing at

706
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 13: his absolute best an injury free isn't going to be

707
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 13: enough to carry this team. And Anthony Davis, he's been

708
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 13: mostly healthy, with exception of that hip spasms that kept

709
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 13: him out against Houston, He's been playing fairly well too,

710
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:43,240
Speaker 13: And so clearly those two things aren't enough for the

711
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:47,600
Speaker 13: Lakers to be a really consistent team. It's going to

712
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 13: have to be about their supporting cast, having at least

713
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 13: one or two guys on a night to night basis

714
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 13: that can carry the load to complement those star players,

715
00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 13: and so far we haven't seen it. Maybe to step

716
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:04,720
Speaker 13: in the right direction with Darwin ham deciding to bring

717
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:07,720
Speaker 13: Austin Reeves off the bench, not because of Reeves's struggles,

718
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:11,040
Speaker 13: but just being able to split the ball handling duties

719
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:13,879
Speaker 13: with him in DiAngelo with staggered lineups, and he saw

720
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:16,919
Speaker 13: Cam Briddish hit a pretty key shot a game after

721
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:20,399
Speaker 13: missing a key shot against Houston. But this was very

722
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:23,880
Speaker 13: much a grinded out mucket up win, similar to the

723
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 13: one with the Clippers, where the Lakers will take it.

724
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:29,799
Speaker 13: But it's also concerning that they've had to exert so

725
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,080
Speaker 13: much effort just to get in the win column.

726
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:35,239
Speaker 2: All right, Mike, one more for you. Another team in

727
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 2: the West. There were a lot of questions if Chris

728
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:39,440
Speaker 2: Paul would work and fit in with the Warriors. So

729
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:42,799
Speaker 2: far it seems to be working. Are you surprised or

730
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 2: did you expect this?

731
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:47,719
Speaker 13: Well, I'm surprised that's been so immediate. I thought that

732
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:50,319
Speaker 13: there would be some natural growing pains of x's and

733
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:53,919
Speaker 13: o's figuring out rotations. But I think that Chris Paul,

734
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:57,799
Speaker 13: he's embraced the bench roll really well. The Warriors Championship

735
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:00,880
Speaker 13: Corps has picked up where they've left off, most notably

736
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 13: Steph Curry on pace to possibly get his third MVP season.

737
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 13: And I think that, you know, a lot of talk

738
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:11,960
Speaker 13: is about last season and how they have much better chemistry,

739
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:14,879
Speaker 13: and they bring up Jordan Poole and yeah, that might

740
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:16,759
Speaker 13: be a thing, but I think the bigger thing is

741
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:20,240
Speaker 13: that they have, you know, more of a veteran presence

742
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:22,959
Speaker 13: around this team with Chris Paul. They're having a point

743
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:26,720
Speaker 13: guard that makes fewer turnovers. His assist a turnover ratio

744
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:30,480
Speaker 13: is out of this world, even for Chris Paul standards.

745
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:33,760
Speaker 13: And you know, talking to Warrior's assistant coach Bruce Fraser

746
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:35,480
Speaker 13: the other day, one of the things that really left

747
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:39,399
Speaker 13: him encourage about this whole dynamic is that Chris Paul

748
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 13: has been a guy that's been trying to be collaborative,

749
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 13: like he wants to learn about, trying to fit in

750
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:48,880
Speaker 13: with the team, learning how to play the Warriors offensive system,

751
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 13: while bringing his own suggestions that the Warriors will entertain

752
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:55,400
Speaker 13: because of his Hall of Fame credentials. But you know,

753
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:57,640
Speaker 13: Bruce Fraser said that he hasn't been over the top

754
00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 13: about it, and so I think that that's sometimes goes

755
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:03,600
Speaker 13: against the impression that we have of Chris Paul, where

756
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:06,759
Speaker 13: no one doubts his competitiveness, but sometimes he's a little

757
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 13: bit too overly involved in two extra and so far

758
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:12,400
Speaker 13: that hasn't been the case. I think that's a testament

759
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:13,840
Speaker 13: to him. But I think it's also a testament to

760
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:16,040
Speaker 13: the Warriors that you know, they are a team that

761
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 13: can convince an established player like Chris Paul to buy

762
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 13: in because of their championship success and star power that

763
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 13: they already have.

764
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:24,239
Speaker 4: Mark, we got to let you go. But I have

765

806
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:17,359
Speaker 4: Got a big don't okay, okay, do not eject one

807
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:19,960
Speaker 4: of the biggest players in the NBA three minutes into

808
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:20,600
Speaker 4: the third quarter.

809
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 5: Don't do that.

810
00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:24,399
Speaker 4: Don't give him a second technical because he stirred somebody down.

811
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:25,440
Speaker 5: Do not do that.

812
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:29,600
Speaker 4: Gianni's Antetokoumpo. On Wednesday, the Bucks played the Pistons. In

813
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:31,920
Speaker 4: the first half, he got a technical because he was

814
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:35,239
Speaker 4: complaining about a missed call. Then three minutes into the

815
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 4: third quarter, he dunks on Isaiah Stewart and just looks

816
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:41,440
Speaker 4: at him like if you look, he stares at him. Yeah,

817
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:44,840
Speaker 4: gets a second technical and is ejected from the game.

818
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:47,359
Speaker 5: Are you on crack? Like?

819
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:49,799
Speaker 3: No, this is like when Ego gets to.

820
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 4: Rep right and it's like, dude, three minutes you don't

821
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:55,839
Speaker 4: have his passion passions? How is this different from like

822
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 4: Steph Curry rocking the baby Like, it's not, it's not.

823
00:38:59,880 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 4: I can't stand that players are expected to not have passion,

824
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:06,360
Speaker 4: emotion or react.

825
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:08,839
Speaker 2: We saw it with pointing in the NFL too. It's

826
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:11,239
Speaker 2: like you got, yeah, you can do like all these celebrations.

827
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 2: You can't point right, but.

828
00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:15,640
Speaker 5: He does he get ejected. No, it's like a second technical.

829
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:18,800
Speaker 4: You have as a ref that is your responsibility to realize.

830
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 4: I can't give this guy a second technical three minutes

831
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:23,359
Speaker 4: into the third quarter in this moment, an eject him

832
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:24,080
Speaker 4: when people have.

833
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:27,799
Speaker 5: Paid how much to see the Sorry, literally the star.

834
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 6: Don't do that. That's bad. That's bad.

835
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:31,239
Speaker 5: That's bad.

836
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:33,280
Speaker 3: I'll go back to a quick funny dude.

837
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:38,320
Speaker 2: Okay, the Atlanta Hawks made an only fans promo. Only

838
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 2: Hawks fans know where the real action is.

839
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:43,319
Speaker 6: And where to get it. It was so good.

840
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:45,879
Speaker 3: It was catchy, it was cheeky, it was hilarious.

841
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:49,600
Speaker 2: I laughed, It got everyone's attention, got people talking about it.

842
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:51,120
Speaker 3: That's what social media is about.

843
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:53,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, totally, it's about I gotta do.

844
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:56,080
Speaker 4: Apparently the Utah Jazz wi fi name, like if you're

845
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:58,920
Speaker 4: at a game and you need WiFi, is called Jordan

846
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:04,240
Speaker 4: pushed off from the nineteen ninety eight finals, where barely

847
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:05,520
Speaker 4: you know if you look.

848
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:07,960
Speaker 5: At it as any push up. I don't know in.

849
00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:11,360
Speaker 4: Today's day, maybe in today's game it would have been called.

850
00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:13,400
Speaker 5: At that time, it was not.

851
00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:15,160
Speaker 4: I don't think he pushed off, but that's the name

852
00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:16,919
Speaker 4: of their Wi Fi Jordan pushed Off.

Speaker 3: I love it too. Okay, one more.

855
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 2: Do Otani donated sixty thousand baseball gloves the kids in Japan.

856
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:28,640
Speaker 2: This man is currently recovering from not Tommy John, Tommy

857
00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:31,720
Speaker 2: John surgery got or you see all repaired. It's definitely

858
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:33,239
Speaker 2: Tommy John. And he's about to get a half a

859
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:35,759
Speaker 2: billion dollars in free agency. But he is doing what

Speaker 2: We got players coming back, big names out, guys on

888
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:55,000
Speaker 2: vacation for bye.

889
00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:56,920
Speaker 3: Week team meetings.

890
00:41:57,520 --> 00:42:01,680
Speaker 2: So we're going to run through and uh, what team meeting.

891
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:04,400
Speaker 2: It's a big deal, man, especially when.

892
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:07,480
Speaker 5: It's like it's not our first one.

893
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:11,080
Speaker 2: Okay, someone's got feelings over here. We'll get We'll get

894
00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 2: to that once we get to that. So let's start

895
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:19,319
Speaker 2: with Kyler Murray is back with the Cardinals. Now, this

896
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:22,840
Speaker 2: is his first game back in almost a year, eleven months.

897
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:26,200
Speaker 2: He's coming off a major knee injury. They're saying he's

898
00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:31,799
Speaker 2: looking good in practice, you know, but nothing compares to

899
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:34,160
Speaker 2: the game. There's always going to be a little hesitation,

900
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:38,480
Speaker 2: especially within an ACL injury. Three hundred plus pound men

901
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:41,080
Speaker 2: running right towards you and running towards that knee, they

902
00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 2: know it's your weakness. But Kyler spoke and sounded focused

903
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:48,920
Speaker 2: and emotional.

904
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:51,040
Speaker 14: I just feel like I gained a new level of

905
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:54,160
Speaker 14: resiliency with this. Already felt like had that chip on

906
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:57,200
Speaker 14: my shoulder. You know, never out of anything, never down.

907
00:42:57,280 --> 00:42:59,120
Speaker 14: I always feel like I can win anything, but this

908
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:01,279
Speaker 14: kind of when you go through something like this, you

909
00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:03,160
Speaker 14: find out really quick about you know who you are

910
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:05,200
Speaker 14: and what you're about. So, like I said, I think

911
00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:06,200
Speaker 14: everything happens for a reason.

912
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:08,120
Speaker 2: These are all the things you want to hear him

913
00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:13,640
Speaker 2: say right now, right Yeah. Uh, He's an extremely talented player,

914
00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:18,200
Speaker 2: but getting back into game shape, game speed after an

915
00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:21,440
Speaker 2: injury takes time. I just hope the Cardinals don't think

916
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:25,439
Speaker 2: he's just gonna swoop in save the season. Have extremely

917
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:27,360
Speaker 2: high expectations.

918
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:28,120
Speaker 6: Obviously, you don't.

919
00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:30,000
Speaker 2: You're not gonna throw your star quarterback into a game

920
00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:31,560
Speaker 2: if he's not one hundred percent healthy.

921
00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:32,920
Speaker 3: But I feel like there.

922
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:36,480
Speaker 2: Needs to be a little like realistic expectations here.

923
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:41,200
Speaker 4: Yes, but what I think of with this situation is

924
00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:45,000
Speaker 4: not everything you're saying is right, Okay, that you can't

925
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:47,040
Speaker 4: expect him to come back and just be the Kyler

926
00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:50,080
Speaker 4: Murray that you want him to be. He's been out

927
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:53,040
Speaker 4: a whole year, a big injury, so like you got

928
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:53,520
Speaker 4: to be patient.

929
00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:54,080
Speaker 5: One hundred pcent.

930
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:59,440
Speaker 4: I just find his return super interesting because the Cardinals

931
00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:05,640
Speaker 4: are in this position where I don't know if maybe

932
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:09,000
Speaker 4: they're looking to get rid of Kyler Murray.

933
00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:14,080
Speaker 5: Jonathan Gannon did not pick Kyler Murray. The current GM

934
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:15,960
Speaker 5: did not pick Kyler Murray.

935
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:18,279
Speaker 2: They're one in eight, right, they are one in eight

936
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:23,799
Speaker 2: position to be able to draft oh yeah, quarterback. But

937
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:28,040
Speaker 2: we've also heard like a Caleb Williams saying that he's

938
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:29,840
Speaker 2: not gonna he doesn't. They don't want to go to

939
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:35,799
Speaker 2: these places because there is right, there hasn't been a

940
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:37,239
Speaker 2: consistency for greatness.

941
00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:38,320
Speaker 5: Sure, and Caleb.

942
00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:42,320
Speaker 4: Williams, you're slowly seen or I think if I'm a coach,

943
00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:45,120
Speaker 4: that people are like looking past Caleb Williams and they're

944
00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:48,080
Speaker 4: need at other potential quarterbacks. I mean, like, let's be real,

945
00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:49,799
Speaker 4: you don't want to hear that that's not the type

946
00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:51,440
Speaker 4: of person you want to come to your team, and

947
00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:52,520
Speaker 4: Caleb Williams is.

948
00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:56,120
Speaker 5: Not the only name. Oh no, there's a right, So

949
00:44:56,520 --> 00:44:57,280
Speaker 5: let's put aside.

950
00:44:57,320 --> 00:45:00,920
Speaker 3: He's just out of the number one race.

951
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:03,080
Speaker 4: Right right, right, right, But let's just even put him

952
00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:04,560
Speaker 4: to the side. Okay, he doesn't want to go to Arizona.

953
00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:08,319
Speaker 4: There are still so many other options that Arizona could have.

954
00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:10,240
Speaker 5: Kyler Murray's contract.

955
00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:11,959
Speaker 3: Is is high, Like you know what, I think.

956
00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:14,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, they to put some like you gotta watch tape

957
00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:16,719
Speaker 2: clauses in there and stop right, video games, all of

958
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:17,360
Speaker 2: those things.

959
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:21,040
Speaker 4: But I I just I find it interesting just because again,

960
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:23,839
Speaker 4: Gannon's not Gannon's guy, not the GMS guy.

961
00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:26,160
Speaker 5: So many changes have been made that.

962
00:45:26,239 --> 00:45:29,239
Speaker 4: I feel like they're probably like, well, you know, we're

963
00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:31,480
Speaker 4: gonna throw him in there knowing that he's probably not

964
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:33,040
Speaker 4: gonna be his best self.

965
00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:35,399
Speaker 2: Yet you think this is like kind of like, ah,

966
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:38,080
Speaker 2: if he falls, yes, and he's gone yes.

967
00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:40,279
Speaker 4: And also on the other let's flip the coin the

968
00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:43,880
Speaker 4: other way that he does, well, great, win win win, Great,

969
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:46,480
Speaker 4: then somebody will take him. Yeah, so it's a win win,

970
00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:49,680
Speaker 4: it's a win win. So I'm looking at this just

971
00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:54,040
Speaker 4: from the perspective of like what the Cardinals might be doing.

972
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:57,600
Speaker 5: For the future, Okay, not necessarily just what Kyler is

973
00:45:57,600 --> 00:45:57,960
Speaker 5: gonna do.

974
00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:01,640
Speaker 3: I don't think he's his future is necessarily there.

975
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:05,680
Speaker 2: I mean there has been some mad drama, like with

976
00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:08,839
Speaker 2: the social media stuff before he got the contract. Its

977
00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:12,879
Speaker 2: just it hasn't been a fluid at all easy relationship.

978
00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:14,520
Speaker 5: No, no, no, no, not at all.

979
00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:17,000
Speaker 4: And I'm really I'm just like, I wonder the approach

980
00:46:17,120 --> 00:46:18,400
Speaker 4: that the Cardinals are gonna take with this.

981
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:22,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, well we're gonna find out tomorrow.

982
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:26,759
Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, But I'm not expecting him to you know, I.

983
00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:29,440
Speaker 2: Think that's a realistic expectation for sure, right Like to

984
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:33,880
Speaker 2: knee injury, A ye're gone a year our like, and

985
00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:36,560
Speaker 2: cats are gonna be weird. Like I said, these like

986
00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:38,440
Speaker 2: giant men running towards.

987
00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:39,839
Speaker 7: You and I don't care what you're doing.

988
00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:41,480
Speaker 3: Very different.

989
00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:43,319
Speaker 5: It's not the same at all.

990
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:46,280
Speaker 3: Another thing to watch out for this weekend.

991
00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:48,600
Speaker 2: Yes, we have players coming back, but we're also missing

992
00:46:49,239 --> 00:46:50,320
Speaker 2: a lot of key players.

993
00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:53,239
Speaker 3: Bengals are going to be missing some top targets.

994
00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:56,759
Speaker 2: They're a little beat up. T Higgins is officially out.

995
00:46:57,360 --> 00:47:01,960
Speaker 2: Jamar Chase is questionable, soar back even if he does

996
00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:04,080
Speaker 2: go out there. He's not gonna be one hundred percent

997
00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:04,960
Speaker 2: shoot him.

998
00:47:05,120 --> 00:47:06,640
Speaker 5: If he goes out there, he won't feel anything.

999
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:08,440
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, which means but he's also going to get

1000
00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:13,200
Speaker 2: a higher workload and more targets because that, Yeah, Haggins

1001
00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:16,600
Speaker 2: is out right. They're also missing Sam Hubbard their defensive end,

1002
00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:19,840
Speaker 2: and they're playing a hot CJ. Stroud in the Texans

1003
00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:24,520
Speaker 2: this weekend. Now, Burrow and Bangs have won four or like,

1004
00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:27,520
Speaker 2: won their last four four straight and CG is coming

1005
00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:30,440
Speaker 2: off a career game. Yeah, an insane. This could be

1006
00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:35,640
Speaker 2: a really interesting one where like last week you would

1007
00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:38,080
Speaker 2: have been like, ah, maybe this is gonna be more

1008
00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:40,600
Speaker 2: of a blowout situation, but with the Bangals missing some

1009
00:47:41,640 --> 00:47:43,799
Speaker 2: key guys, could be a little closer than anything.

1010
00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:45,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think it's gonna be like.

1011
00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:49,080
Speaker 4: I do think it's gonna be a lot closer. And

1012
00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:51,560
Speaker 4: and also another factor is, like you you just also

1013
00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:54,440
Speaker 4: beat the forty nine ers, Like there's other things you know,

1014
00:47:54,680 --> 00:47:57,200
Speaker 4: and you do have to take every week individually. I

1015
00:47:57,280 --> 00:47:59,520
Speaker 4: know that, Yeah, but it's impossible to not think that

1016
00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:01,680
Speaker 4: you won in a row. Five in row is hard,

1017
00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:03,560
Speaker 4: and then you just beat the forty nine ers, A

1018
00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:06,640
Speaker 4: big win. You beat the Bills, a big win, Like

1019
00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:10,920
Speaker 4: it almost seems that with being you know, without te

1020
00:48:11,080 --> 00:48:14,480
Speaker 4: Higgins possibly Jamar Chase, it's like it's it's a perfect

1021
00:48:14,680 --> 00:48:17,279
Speaker 4: like route for the Texans to get a W out

1022
00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:19,680
Speaker 4: of this, right, Like it's crazy to think, yep, but

1023
00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:20,160
Speaker 4: it's not.

1024
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:22,480
Speaker 5: It's not because of the situation.

1025
00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:25,040
Speaker 2: So I'm saying something to watch out for this weekend,

1026
00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:28,759
Speaker 2: something to keep your eye on. Another fun thing that

1027
00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:32,440
Speaker 2: will slowly be taking over your social media feeds starting

1028
00:48:32,520 --> 00:48:36,880
Speaker 2: last night to today is Travis Kelce is an Argentina

1029
00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:41,920
Speaker 2: at Taylor's Swift show during the bye week. Now, I

1030
00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:44,759
Speaker 2: guess people are like upset about this. I don't I

1031
00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:48,359
Speaker 2: don't understand. It's his bye week, and it is so

1032
00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:52,840
Speaker 2: important to take time to disconnect for a moment from

1033
00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:55,600
Speaker 2: something that you have focused one hundred percent of your

1034
00:48:55,600 --> 00:48:58,200
Speaker 2: time on. In sports, I remember talking to like his

1035
00:48:58,320 --> 00:49:01,400
Speaker 2: pitchers in baseball. It's an all mental it's like a

1036
00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:04,640
Speaker 2: one like mental thing and they're going through a slump

1037
00:49:04,680 --> 00:49:06,719
Speaker 2: and all of a sudden, take Blake Snell just like

1038
00:49:07,120 --> 00:49:09,560
Speaker 2: turned his season around. I only talked to him. It's

1039
00:49:09,560 --> 00:49:12,759
Speaker 2: like what happened. He's like, I just stopped thinking about it.

1040
00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:14,800
Speaker 2: I went and played golf, I went and like played

1041
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:17,799
Speaker 2: video games, Like sometimes you just need to completely disconnect

1042
00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:22,439
Speaker 2: to get back on track. And yeah, they were already

1043
00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:25,239
Speaker 2: out to dinner last night. Videos everywhere, going to the show,

1044
00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:27,200
Speaker 2: going to the show. I think it's tonight because I

1045
00:49:27,239 --> 00:49:32,160
Speaker 2: got postponed last night due to weather. No, no, really,

1046
00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:34,320
Speaker 2: you've been singing Taylor Swift all morning.

1047
00:49:34,360 --> 00:49:35,720
Speaker 5: No, I know, but I don't know if the concert

1048
00:49:35,920 --> 00:49:37,000
Speaker 5: was canceled, That's what I mean.

1049
00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:37,360
Speaker 6: I don't know.

1050
00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:40,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, she posted that she loves the Rain Show, but

1051
00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:42,759
Speaker 2: this is dangerous postponed.

1052
00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:45,000
Speaker 4: And it's not even that Travis kelcey needs to like

1053
00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:48,160
Speaker 4: shake anything off anything like that. But he has been

1054
00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:52,239
Speaker 4: better when she's around, right, So it's like significantly bad

1055
00:49:52,280 --> 00:49:55,440
Speaker 4: his numbers double. Yeah, it's crazy double. But I you know,

1056
00:49:55,520 --> 00:49:58,200
Speaker 4: it's so funny when people are because I also remember

1057
00:49:58,200 --> 00:50:00,799
Speaker 4: people being mad that Zach Wilson took his like girlfriends

1058
00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:03,200
Speaker 4: somewhere for like a vacation during there by week, and

1059
00:50:03,239 --> 00:50:06,480
Speaker 4: it's like you need to separate. And also, like traveling

1060
00:50:06,560 --> 00:50:08,960
Speaker 4: for Travis Kelcey is not like traveling for the rest

1061
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:09,480
Speaker 4: of us people.

1062
00:50:09,600 --> 00:50:11,839
Speaker 3: No, his girlfriend has a private private plane, private plane.

1063
00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:13,400
Speaker 5: He's probably gonna sleep on the plane.

1064
00:50:13,400 --> 00:50:17,120
Speaker 4: He's probably laying out like it's not the way traveling

1065
00:50:17,200 --> 00:50:19,960
Speaker 4: to Argentina for a normal person actually is. Like he's

1066
00:50:19,960 --> 00:50:22,520
Speaker 4: not going to the airport sitting in line waiting three

1067
00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:23,680
Speaker 4: hours to hop on a plane.

1068
00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:24,640
Speaker 3: It's not like that.

1069
00:50:25,239 --> 00:50:27,680
Speaker 4: It's a lot more easier for him to do this

1070
00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:32,719
Speaker 4: and actually enjoy himself and come back relaxed, refreshed. And

1071
00:50:33,160 --> 00:50:35,800
Speaker 4: you know, did you see the latest story that apparently

1072
00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:38,160
Speaker 4: he wants to marry her and he wants to have

1073
00:50:38,200 --> 00:50:38,799
Speaker 4: babies with her.

1074
00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:40,160
Speaker 3: I mean, these are swifties.

1075
00:50:40,280 --> 00:50:40,759
Speaker 5: I love it.

1076
00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:43,440
Speaker 2: There's crazy things that are gonna come out just just no,

1077
00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:44,160
Speaker 2: but I love it.

1078
00:50:44,239 --> 00:50:44,879
Speaker 3: Enjoy young line.

1079
00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:45,640
Speaker 5: I love it so much.

1080
00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:48,439
Speaker 3: Enjoy Yeah, you're swifty. Yeah, enjoy the young love.

1081
00:50:48,520 --> 00:50:48,839
Speaker 6: All right.

1082
00:50:48,920 --> 00:50:51,840
Speaker 3: Another thing to look out for this weekend. The Bills

1083
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:53,120
Speaker 3: had a player's.

1084
00:50:52,920 --> 00:50:57,160
Speaker 2: Only meeting coming off of this tough loss to the Bengals.

1085
00:50:57,200 --> 00:50:58,640
Speaker 2: Now want to come down to this. You have to

1086
00:50:58,680 --> 00:51:01,239
Speaker 2: wonder how bad is it with the coaching staff that

1087
00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:04,279
Speaker 2: you need them out of the room and they need

1088
00:51:04,320 --> 00:51:06,440
Speaker 2: to just talk to get stuff out. And the Bills

1089
00:51:06,440 --> 00:51:10,160
Speaker 2: play the Broncos Monday night, football game. Bills are two

1090
00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:12,040
Speaker 2: and two in primetime this year. Broncos are ower and

1091
00:51:12,120 --> 00:51:16,279
Speaker 2: one in primetime this year. They should be able to

1092
00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:18,640
Speaker 2: get this. But did I just hear did we just

1093
00:51:18,680 --> 00:51:20,800
Speaker 2: have an update that the Bills are missing.

1094
00:51:20,840 --> 00:51:21,520
Speaker 6: A star player?

1095
00:51:21,680 --> 00:51:22,680
Speaker 5: Know that he didn't go to practice.

1096
00:51:22,719 --> 00:51:23,680
Speaker 3: He didn't go to practice.

1097
00:51:23,760 --> 00:51:28,280
Speaker 5: Yes, Stefan Digs practice wasn't at practice. He's gonna play.

1098
00:51:28,320 --> 00:51:30,000
Speaker 5: There's no report that he's not playing.

1099
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:34,680
Speaker 3: It just doesn't feel like everybody's on the same page.

1100
00:51:34,760 --> 00:51:36,799
Speaker 5: What did I say weeks ago?

1101
00:51:37,360 --> 00:51:41,319
Speaker 4: I've said there is some sort of tension that I

1102
00:51:41,360 --> 00:51:44,120
Speaker 4: think has just built up over like the last couple

1103
00:51:44,120 --> 00:51:45,120
Speaker 4: of years, You know what I mean.

1104
00:51:45,160 --> 00:51:47,080
Speaker 5: It's like Stefan.

1105
00:51:46,719 --> 00:51:50,040
Speaker 4: Diggs just caught a touchdown last game or two games ago.

1106
00:51:50,120 --> 00:51:52,680
Speaker 4: He ran over like a camera guy accidentally. Yeah, but

1107
00:51:52,760 --> 00:51:54,759
Speaker 4: he like kind of snapped out the camera guy. And

1108
00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:57,760
Speaker 4: I don't think that's Sisfon Diggs's style, But I think

1109
00:51:57,880 --> 00:52:00,520
Speaker 4: he's frustrated, even in a good moment.

1110
00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:01,440
Speaker 6: We see it.

1111
00:52:01,520 --> 00:52:03,600
Speaker 5: There's tideline, right, you see.

1112
00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:05,919
Speaker 4: Him when he throws the helmet, and like Josh Allen

1113
00:52:05,960 --> 00:52:07,000
Speaker 4: pretends to not see him.

1114
00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:08,239
Speaker 5: They're all frustrated.

1115
00:52:08,280 --> 00:52:11,160
Speaker 4: Now this is the second players meeting, which.

1116
00:52:11,080 --> 00:52:11,879
Speaker 5: Is why I don't care.

1117
00:52:12,520 --> 00:52:15,200
Speaker 4: This was only offense, though the first one was the

1118
00:52:15,320 --> 00:52:19,640
Speaker 4: entire team. I just want to know why is Josh

1119
00:52:19,680 --> 00:52:22,360
Speaker 4: Allen not leading this? Why does it have to be

1120
00:52:22,680 --> 00:52:25,560
Speaker 4: Latavius Murray who just showed up in Buffalo. I understand

1121
00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:27,680
Speaker 4: that he is a veteran player and has been around

1122
00:52:27,680 --> 00:52:30,960
Speaker 4: the league and has probably motivational things to say.

1123
00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:32,120
Speaker 3: Because he noticed something was wrong.

1124
00:52:32,200 --> 00:52:35,759
Speaker 5: But you are the face of the Buffalo Bills. You

1125
00:52:35,840 --> 00:52:38,120
Speaker 5: need to take charge. Sometimes you need a veteran guy

1126
00:52:38,160 --> 00:52:38,520
Speaker 5: to do that.

1127
00:52:38,600 --> 00:52:41,200
Speaker 2: Like, hey, I've been a lot of places. This ain't

1128
00:52:41,239 --> 00:52:42,799
Speaker 2: it so that this isn't how you do it.

1129
00:52:42,840 --> 00:52:45,120
Speaker 4: So let me tell you nothing's gonna change. If your

1130
00:52:45,239 --> 00:52:47,640
Speaker 4: leader is not taking charge.

1131
00:52:47,640 --> 00:52:49,080
Speaker 3: It just could be a wake up call for him.

1132
00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:51,280
Speaker 3: Maybe he needs practice.

1133
00:52:51,920 --> 00:52:52,919
Speaker 5: This worked out real well.

1134
00:52:53,360 --> 00:52:57,120
Speaker 4: I know, I I just I've seen it off I

1135
00:52:57,239 --> 00:53:02,160
Speaker 4: also I also think that like the Bill aside from Diggs,

1136
00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:04,720
Speaker 4: Gabe Davis is great, but I feel like the Bills

1137
00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:08,120
Speaker 4: don't have as many offensive weapons as other teams. And

1138
00:53:08,200 --> 00:53:11,239
Speaker 4: I mentioned it, Josh Allen puts a lot on his shoulders.

1139
00:53:11,560 --> 00:53:14,400
Speaker 4: He puts too much pressure on himself and then he

1140
00:53:14,440 --> 00:53:17,479
Speaker 4: doesn't execute when it matters. But it's like I feel

1141
00:53:17,480 --> 00:53:19,239
Speaker 4: like he's like, all right, I've digs and then what

1142
00:53:20,120 --> 00:53:22,600
Speaker 4: I just feel like that, like they're all just frustrated

1143
00:53:22,640 --> 00:53:25,120
Speaker 4: with each other. And it's not that they don't like

1144
00:53:25,200 --> 00:53:29,400
Speaker 4: each other, it's just built up frustration over the last

1145
00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:32,200
Speaker 4: few years. And it's like, I don't know how you

1146
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:33,680
Speaker 4: snap that.

1147
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:35,799
Speaker 3: I don't either.

1148
00:53:35,920 --> 00:53:39,360
Speaker 2: And this Monday night game with all of that happening

1149
00:53:39,640 --> 00:53:42,920
Speaker 2: this week, I mean, like the Bills are Bills are

1150
00:53:42,960 --> 00:53:46,120
Speaker 2: five and four, Broncos are three and five, but.

1151
00:53:46,080 --> 00:53:47,760
Speaker 5: They're lucky it's the Broncos that they're playing.

1152
00:53:49,960 --> 00:53:50,440
Speaker 3: I don't know.

1153
00:53:50,560 --> 00:53:53,120
Speaker 5: Man, Oh now you're on the Broncos.

1154
00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:56,359
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, when when stuff's not going your way

1155
00:53:56,920 --> 00:53:59,760
Speaker 2: till you're not on the same page, you're having player meetings,

1156
00:53:59,760 --> 00:54:02,360
Speaker 2: you're start you make a good point. Offensive weapon is

1157
00:54:02,400 --> 00:54:05,279
Speaker 2: not showing up to practice after the player's only meeting.

1158
00:54:05,400 --> 00:54:07,399
Speaker 3: This is just something to keep an eye on this week.

1159
00:54:07,480 --> 00:54:09,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, and the Broncos are probably seeing that to each other. Guys,

1208
00:56:09,760 --> 00:56:15,280
Speaker 2: That's right, Okay, you guys, Let's get back to some football. Okay, okay,

1209
00:56:15,400 --> 00:56:18,360
Speaker 2: because I got a question for you. Did the Jets

1210
00:56:18,400 --> 00:56:24,080
Speaker 2: mess up not getting a quarterback when Aaron Rodgers went down? Now,

1211
00:56:24,160 --> 00:56:26,680
Speaker 2: we all had our doubts, right when the Jets announced

1212
00:56:26,680 --> 00:56:29,480
Speaker 2: that Zach Wilson would be their starting quarterback once Aaron

1213
00:56:29,560 --> 00:56:33,799
Speaker 2: Rodgers tour his achilles, and last weekend's performance should have

1214
00:56:33,840 --> 00:56:38,000
Speaker 2: been what made you realize he is a backup quarterback

1215
00:56:38,480 --> 00:56:40,960
Speaker 2: right Wilson versus charges on Monday Night Football.

1216
00:56:42,120 --> 00:56:43,120
Speaker 3: Zero touchdowns.

1217
00:56:43,400 --> 00:56:45,680
Speaker 5: But you know what, I actually didn't think he played that.

1218
00:56:45,560 --> 00:56:51,720
Speaker 2: Back three fumbles, lost two of them, sixteenth in passer rating,

1219
00:56:51,920 --> 00:56:55,839
Speaker 2: and his coach, Robert Sala, had some words to say

1220
00:56:56,040 --> 00:56:56,440
Speaker 2: after that.

1221
00:56:57,200 --> 00:56:58,680
Speaker 1: Was this a step back for Zach?

1222
00:56:58,800 --> 00:57:01,439
Speaker 15: Robert, I don't know if you could say step back.

1223
00:57:01,480 --> 00:57:04,160
Speaker 15: You know, there's like I said, there's it's all encompassing.

1224
00:57:04,280 --> 00:57:04,480
Speaker 13: You know.

1225
00:57:04,560 --> 00:57:06,880
Speaker 15: Obviously he's gonna want some things that he wishes he

1226
00:57:06,880 --> 00:57:08,920
Speaker 15: could have done better. It's just a little bit of everything.

1227
00:57:09,200 --> 00:57:11,919
Speaker 15: It's just one of those bizarre games. It's just every

1228
00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:14,959
Speaker 15: time we had momentum, like I said, just a self

1229
00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:18,600
Speaker 15: inflicted wound wound. Was it his best game? Obviously not.

1230
00:57:18,920 --> 00:57:20,480
Speaker 15: Was it his worst game? No, I'm not going to

1231
00:57:20,520 --> 00:57:22,200
Speaker 15: say it was even close to his worst game. But

1232
00:57:23,560 --> 00:57:25,880
Speaker 15: I think the entire offense, obviously we all could have

1233
00:57:25,880 --> 00:57:26,240
Speaker 15: been better.

1234
00:57:26,560 --> 00:57:30,720
Speaker 4: I agree there were so much moments bad and it

1235
00:57:30,920 --> 00:57:32,680
Speaker 4: wasn't your worst, And he's not lying.

1236
00:57:32,800 --> 00:57:36,240
Speaker 2: His Week two loss of the Cowboys was gnarly. It

1237
00:57:36,280 --> 00:57:41,640
Speaker 2: was ugly of forty four completion percentage, three interceptions, a

1238
00:57:41,720 --> 00:57:44,720
Speaker 2: thirty eight point one passer rating one touchdown.

1239
00:57:44,960 --> 00:57:48,320
Speaker 3: I just it's tough, like Zach Wilson.

1240
00:57:49,200 --> 00:57:51,840
Speaker 2: They have such a good defense, right the Jets, and

1241
00:57:51,880 --> 00:57:54,720
Speaker 2: they have great weapons, which is why they are winning games.

1242
00:57:55,960 --> 00:57:59,040
Speaker 2: But Zack Wilson is not your answer. Yeah, He's not

1243
00:57:59,080 --> 00:58:02,760
Speaker 2: your answer. And if they went out and pulled the

1244
00:58:02,840 --> 00:58:07,480
Speaker 2: move like the Vikings did get a Josh Dobbs, maybe they.

1245
00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:09,400
Speaker 6: I don't know.

1246
00:58:09,600 --> 00:58:12,640
Speaker 2: It's just I I think they made a mistake.

1247
00:58:12,800 --> 00:58:15,840
Speaker 4: Before we move on to the amazing thing that is

1248
00:58:15,960 --> 00:58:19,200
Speaker 4: Josh Dobbs. Yeah, I think that the problem with Zach

1249
00:58:19,240 --> 00:58:21,120
Speaker 4: Wilson here we are, because you know, I've kind of

1250
00:58:21,200 --> 00:58:24,720
Speaker 4: like been I've been supporting him from the beginning. Is

1251
00:58:24,800 --> 00:58:29,040
Speaker 4: when he he has great moments, but when you're inconsistent,

1252
00:58:29,240 --> 00:58:32,960
Speaker 4: it's tough for your team to kind of catch every

1253
00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:34,640
Speaker 4: ball because they just don't know what you're gonna throw,

1254
00:58:34,960 --> 00:58:36,920
Speaker 4: like you know, like it's that's what's tough about it.

1255
00:58:36,960 --> 00:58:39,320
Speaker 5: But I don't think he I know you read those numbers.

1256
00:58:39,840 --> 00:58:41,400
Speaker 5: To me, that was not his worst game.

1257
00:58:41,440 --> 00:58:42,920
Speaker 4: And I agree with Robert Sala and it was just

1258
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:45,040
Speaker 4: kind of like, man, there were moments where like you

1259
00:58:45,160 --> 00:58:45,760
Speaker 4: had it bad.

1260
00:58:45,920 --> 00:58:48,240
Speaker 2: It was, but that's bad if that's not your worst game,

1261
00:58:48,280 --> 00:58:50,960
Speaker 2: and you've had worse. And this is your starting guy.

1262
00:58:51,040 --> 00:58:53,760
Speaker 2: This is what you're depending on to bring you and

1263
00:58:53,840 --> 00:58:57,320
Speaker 2: get you to the playoffs, the most important position on

1264
00:58:57,480 --> 00:58:58,800
Speaker 2: the team and on the field.

1265
00:58:59,600 --> 00:59:02,160
Speaker 5: But there moments in that shit make you a backup.

1266
00:59:03,040 --> 00:59:05,600
Speaker 3: You're not that wrong where you should be like, this

1267
00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:06,720
Speaker 3: is a backup quarterback.

1268
00:59:06,840 --> 00:59:09,080
Speaker 2: That's just exact we go to when our star goes down,

1269
00:59:09,160 --> 00:59:12,480
Speaker 2: not who is going to be our shine. They very

1270
00:59:12,520 --> 00:59:16,040
Speaker 2: publicly admitted that he was not the guy last year

1271
00:59:16,400 --> 00:59:18,720
Speaker 2: and went all in to go get Aaron Rodgers.

1272
00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:19,600
Speaker 6: And then when.

1273
00:59:19,520 --> 00:59:21,480
Speaker 2: Rogers went down, like no, no, no, no, he's our guy,

1274
00:59:21,480 --> 00:59:22,000
Speaker 2: He's got it.

1275
00:59:22,240 --> 00:59:27,040
Speaker 4: No, yeah, no, And what just happened with Josh Dobbs

1276
00:59:27,080 --> 00:59:30,760
Speaker 4: doesn't help any team that is like, oh you nobody

1277
00:59:30,840 --> 00:59:33,120
Speaker 4: can learn an offense quick.

1278
00:59:33,240 --> 00:59:37,600
Speaker 2: So the Vikings picked up Josh Dobbs. He had zero

1279
00:59:38,240 --> 00:59:41,640
Speaker 2: snaps in practice, didn't even know everybody's name on the team,

1280
00:59:42,320 --> 00:59:45,520
Speaker 2: went out there and won on a game winning drive.

1281
00:59:45,960 --> 00:59:48,400
Speaker 4: And you know, did you hear that he was told

1282
00:59:48,400 --> 00:59:50,720
Speaker 4: he was on a podcast like after the fact, and

1283
00:59:50,800 --> 00:59:53,440
Speaker 4: he said that he was literally told in the face,

1284
00:59:54,000 --> 00:59:56,360
Speaker 4: we're not by the Arizona Cardinals. We're not going to

1285
00:59:56,400 --> 00:59:59,439
Speaker 4: train you. You're not going anywhere. You're not gonna play

1286
00:59:59,560 --> 01:00:02,840
Speaker 4: this week, Kyler mrazy, but you're not going anywhere.

1287
01:00:02,480 --> 01:00:03,520
Speaker 5: Like to his face.

1288
01:00:03,600 --> 01:00:06,040
Speaker 4: And then two days later they traded him. So when

1289
01:00:06,080 --> 01:00:08,720
Speaker 4: I heard this, I was like, that's right, Joshua Dobbs,

1290
01:00:08,920 --> 01:00:11,840
Speaker 4: you're the man. Yeah, despite being told this a couple

1291
01:00:11,920 --> 01:00:15,000
Speaker 4: of days ago, hopping on a flight landing in Minnesota.

1292
01:00:15,080 --> 01:00:17,320
Speaker 4: Five days later, they're like, you're in because this guy's injured,

1293
01:00:17,360 --> 01:00:18,320
Speaker 4: and he's like, I'm sorry.

1294
01:00:18,080 --> 01:00:19,160
Speaker 6: Who yep? What me?

1295
01:00:19,160 --> 01:00:19,240
Speaker 16: Me?

1296
01:00:20,240 --> 01:00:23,480
Speaker 5: Okay, all right? You saw them off to the side.

1297
01:00:23,560 --> 01:00:26,560
Speaker 4: He had to practice his cadence of how like literally

1298
01:00:26,640 --> 01:00:30,160
Speaker 4: he had nothing, but what what he had is just

1299
01:00:30,320 --> 01:00:34,240
Speaker 4: natural skill of a quarterback that you can't teach. Also,

1300
01:00:34,240 --> 01:00:37,840
Speaker 4: apparently he's like super smart, like a rocket scientist, super

1301
01:00:37,880 --> 01:00:40,800
Speaker 4: super smart. So it's like he didn't know anybody, but

1302
01:00:40,920 --> 01:00:42,720
Speaker 4: he knows I gotta throw the bottle that guy or

1303
01:00:42,760 --> 01:00:45,560
Speaker 4: that guy they're wearing the same color as I am like,

1304
01:00:45,600 --> 01:00:45,920
Speaker 4: that's all.

1305
01:00:45,960 --> 01:00:46,920
Speaker 3: I mean, it's not this week.

1306
01:00:46,920 --> 01:00:48,600
Speaker 2: I'm very curious to see how he does after a

1307
01:00:48,680 --> 01:00:52,320
Speaker 2: full week with this new team, knowing the system. As

1308
01:00:52,360 --> 01:00:55,000
Speaker 2: you mentioned, smart guy's gonna pick it up fast. Clearly,

1309
01:00:55,040 --> 01:00:57,200
Speaker 2: you're gonna get to know your teammates, get to know

1310
01:00:57,280 --> 01:01:01,520
Speaker 2: the coaches, get to know the playbook, like the system.

1311
01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:04,680
Speaker 2: I it's it was incredible.

1312
01:01:04,440 --> 01:01:08,520
Speaker 4: Incredible, And I also think like, wow, the Vikings were

1313
01:01:08,520 --> 01:01:11,360
Speaker 4: in a position where they probably were like, is Justin

1314
01:01:11,400 --> 01:01:12,440
Speaker 4: Jefferson gonna come back?

1315
01:01:12,480 --> 01:01:14,880
Speaker 5: Do we want to do that? We lost Kirk Cousins.

1316
01:01:15,080 --> 01:01:16,960
Speaker 4: Do we want to you know, put him out there

1317
01:01:16,960 --> 01:01:18,640
Speaker 4: maybe he gets hurt, or do we want to take

1318
01:01:18,680 --> 01:01:21,840
Speaker 4: the rest of the season easy. Now you're like, oh, well,

1319
01:01:22,200 --> 01:01:23,280
Speaker 4: Justin Jefferson get out there.

1320
01:01:23,320 --> 01:01:23,920
Speaker 6: Look at this guy.

1321
01:01:24,360 --> 01:01:25,080
Speaker 5: Look at this guy.

1322
01:01:25,240 --> 01:01:29,040
Speaker 4: It's so crazy how in one moment I think the

1323
01:01:29,080 --> 01:01:32,760
Speaker 4: mentality for the Vikings changed. I did like, Joshua Dobbs,

1324
01:01:32,840 --> 01:01:37,000
Speaker 4: you are freaking amazing. I could not get over that game.

1325
01:01:37,360 --> 01:01:39,160
Speaker 4: I was just like, is everybody.

1326
01:01:38,720 --> 01:01:40,640
Speaker 5: Watching this game, like what is happening?

1327
01:01:41,320 --> 01:01:42,240
Speaker 3: Well, that's what you do.

1328
01:01:42,720 --> 01:01:46,480
Speaker 2: That's when your starter goes down, you go out and

1329
01:01:46,520 --> 01:01:47,439
Speaker 2: you get another guy.

1330
01:01:47,600 --> 01:01:47,760
Speaker 14: Right.

1331
01:01:48,120 --> 01:01:51,480
Speaker 4: And even though Arizona's you know, overall record is not great,

1332
01:01:51,520 --> 01:01:53,680
Speaker 4: he was playing well. He was doing what he needed

1333
01:01:53,680 --> 01:01:56,520
Speaker 4: to do for Arizona from the beginning. And it's just

1334
01:01:56,560 --> 01:01:59,400
Speaker 4: so incredible that it's like all of this like, oh,

1335
01:01:59,440 --> 01:02:01,920
Speaker 4: you can't pick up somebody to come run your offense.

1336
01:02:01,920 --> 01:02:04,240
Speaker 4: They're not going to learn it. He proves everybody.

1337
01:02:03,840 --> 01:02:05,160
Speaker 3: Wrong, wrong, wrong.

1338
01:02:05,360 --> 01:02:07,200
Speaker 2: Let me show you also, chip on my shoulder that

1339
01:02:07,200 --> 01:02:08,840
Speaker 2: because you told me you weren't gonna trade me and

1340
01:02:08,880 --> 01:02:10,600
Speaker 2: here I am on another two of my face two

1341
01:02:10,680 --> 01:02:14,600
Speaker 2: days later. All right, let me show you. So, yeah,

1342
01:02:14,680 --> 01:02:16,200
Speaker 2: that should be interesting. We all saw the Rams pick

1343
01:02:16,280 --> 01:02:18,560
Speaker 2: up Carson Wentz this week and they have a record

1344
01:02:18,640 --> 01:02:22,040
Speaker 2: of like revamping players careers. Maybe they can help one another.

1345
01:02:22,520 --> 01:02:25,480
Speaker 2: So yeah, this is what you do when you're dying down.

1346
01:02:25,680 --> 01:02:27,520
Speaker 2: You go out and you get something.

1347
01:02:27,720 --> 01:02:30,440
Speaker 5: Some just make a move, may make a move.

1348
01:02:30,280 --> 01:02:33,640
Speaker 3: Get someone something. All right, now, let's check in with

1349
01:02:33,680 --> 01:02:35,360
Speaker 3: Martin to see what's trending.

1350
01:02:36,280 --> 01:02:39,800
Speaker 12: Thank you right now. College football scores in progress right

1351
01:02:39,840 --> 01:02:42,520
Speaker 12: on Florida State at halftime, number fourteen in the nation,

1352
01:02:42,600 --> 01:02:46,919
Speaker 12: tied up with Miami tenipiece number five, Washington trailing number

1353
01:02:46,960 --> 01:02:49,600
Speaker 12: eighteen Utah twenty eight to twenty four. Of that game,

1354
01:02:49,640 --> 01:02:52,320
Speaker 12: also at halftime, and see the remainder of it on

1355
01:02:52,440 --> 01:02:57,120
Speaker 12: Fox TV. Number fourteenth th rank, Missouri nineteen over number

1356
01:02:57,160 --> 01:02:59,800
Speaker 12: thirteenth orrank Tennessee. They have seven right now early in

1357
01:02:59,800 --> 01:03:03,280
Speaker 12: the third quarter and fifteenth r inc Oklahoma State. They

1358
01:03:03,320 --> 01:03:05,000
Speaker 12: have the ball third and goal right now with ten

1359
01:03:05,120 --> 01:03:07,600
Speaker 12: forty left in the third quarter. But that's the least

1360
01:03:07,640 --> 01:03:10,360
Speaker 12: of their worries is They're down twenty four to nothing

1361
01:03:10,920 --> 01:03:13,360
Speaker 12: just a week after beating Oklahoma. Now twenty four to

1362
01:03:13,360 --> 01:03:16,800
Speaker 12: nothing to UCF Colorado right now, let's see, I gotta

1363
01:03:16,800 --> 01:03:18,000
Speaker 12: scroll down to the bottle for this one.

1364
01:03:18,040 --> 01:03:19,040
Speaker 6: This game just ended.

1365
01:03:19,120 --> 01:03:22,680
Speaker 12: Yep, Colorado loses again in the Pac twelve. They're one

1366
01:03:22,760 --> 01:03:26,000
Speaker 12: and six. They fall to number twenty one Arizona thirty

1367
01:03:26,040 --> 01:03:29,320
Speaker 12: four to thirty one. So there you go with coach

1368
01:03:29,360 --> 01:03:32,160
Speaker 12: Frank four and six on the year for the Colorado Buffalo.

1369
01:03:32,440 --> 01:03:35,240
Speaker 12: In the NFL, Cincinnati Bengals receiver t Higgins ruled out

1370
01:03:35,240 --> 01:03:38,040
Speaker 12: for Tomorrow's game against Houston with the hamstring. Jamar Chase

1371
01:03:38,040 --> 01:03:40,800
Speaker 12: still on the injury report with his back injury listed

1372
01:03:40,840 --> 01:03:44,120
Speaker 12: as questionable. Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray makes his first start

1373
01:03:44,160 --> 01:03:47,160
Speaker 12: on Sunday, he toy tacl eleven months ago. Cardinals also

1374
01:03:47,240 --> 01:03:51,080
Speaker 12: activating running back James Conner off of injury reserve. San

1375
01:03:51,080 --> 01:03:54,080
Speaker 12: Francisco forty nine ers Pride receiver Deebo Samuel suffered a

1376
01:03:54,120 --> 01:03:57,840
Speaker 12: hairline shoulder fracture three weeks ago. He's expected to play

1377
01:03:58,160 --> 01:04:01,720
Speaker 12: on Sunday. Left tackle Trent William is still real questionable,

1378
01:04:02,000 --> 01:04:05,000
Speaker 12: says coach Kyle Shanahan, for their matchup against Jacksonville. The

1379
01:04:05,080 --> 01:04:07,640
Speaker 12: Troy Lions running back David Montgomery, he missed the last

1380
01:04:07,640 --> 01:04:10,080
Speaker 12: two games with the rib. He set to return and

1381
01:04:10,120 --> 01:04:12,960
Speaker 12: will split carries with Jamir Gibbs and Sunday's matchup against

1382
01:04:13,000 --> 01:04:15,960
Speaker 12: the Chargers. And Justin Jefferson for Josh Dobbs, as you

1383
01:04:16,000 --> 01:04:17,880
Speaker 12: we just were talking about. I'm sure he knew his

1384
01:04:18,000 --> 01:04:20,120
Speaker 12: name prior to walking in there, but it didn't help

1385
01:04:20,160 --> 01:04:23,600
Speaker 12: because Justin Jefferson wasn't playing. He won't be playing tomorrow either.

1386
01:04:23,880 --> 01:04:27,160
Speaker 12: He's still not activated from that hamstring injury. Even though

1387
01:04:27,160 --> 01:04:28,040
Speaker 12: he cleared injury.

1388
01:04:27,800 --> 01:04:29,680
Speaker 5: Research Fannessy team is not happy about that much.

1389
01:04:29,760 --> 01:04:32,920
Speaker 12: Well, I'm sorry, Josh Dobbs in real life probably unhappy

1390
01:04:32,920 --> 01:04:33,439
Speaker 12: about it either.

1391
01:04:33,960 --> 01:04:35,480
Speaker 6: Back to you guys, Thank you.

1392
01:04:35,520 --> 01:04:35,840
Speaker 12: Martin.

1393

Speaker 2: You're listening to Fox Sports Saturday. I am Alex Curry

1396
01:04:43,920 --> 01:04:47,320
Speaker 2: time for our next guest who knows everything going on

1397
01:04:47,560 --> 01:04:50,320
Speaker 2: in the NFL. Has you covered on all the breaking stories?

1398

Speaker 2: Please give it up for NFL Networks. Taylor Bashati, who

1399
01:04:53,840 --> 01:04:57,040
Speaker 2: also has the best game day fits and snacks all

1400

Speaker 2: over her social media.

1401
01:04:58,800 --> 01:05:01,120
Speaker 16: Hi girl, are you so good?

1402
01:05:01,160 --> 01:05:02,160
Speaker 5: Thank you for joining us.

1403
01:05:02,240 --> 01:05:04,920
Speaker 2: We're doing great, Taylor. We love having you here. Now

1404
01:05:04,960 --> 01:05:07,600
Speaker 2: you've spent a good amount of time with the Cardinals.

1405
01:05:07,800 --> 01:05:11,919
Speaker 2: They're getting Kyler Murray back this weekend. What are realistic

1406
01:05:12,160 --> 01:05:14,880
Speaker 2: expectations for Kyler Gosh?

1407
01:05:15,040 --> 01:05:18,040
Speaker 16: I mean, I think that look at how we ended

1408
01:05:18,080 --> 01:05:20,800
Speaker 16: this season last year, he was playing great football. Now

1409
01:05:20,800 --> 01:05:23,320
Speaker 16: he's got a new head coach under Jonathan Gannon. James

1410
01:05:23,320 --> 01:05:25,120
Speaker 16: Connor's coming back this week. I think you're going to

1411
01:05:25,160 --> 01:05:28,880
Speaker 16: see a much improved Cardinals offense. That being said, it's

1412
01:05:28,880 --> 01:05:30,240
Speaker 16: probably going to take them a little bit of time

1413
01:05:30,280 --> 01:05:33,120
Speaker 16: to get running around the field like we were seeing

1414
01:05:33,160 --> 01:05:36,800
Speaker 16: last season, But it's only going up from here all right.

1415
01:05:36,840 --> 01:05:39,960
Speaker 2: Now, there's a lot of talk around the Cardinals if

1416
01:05:40,000 --> 01:05:43,720
Speaker 2: they have a high draft pick, are they going to

1417
01:05:43,800 --> 01:05:46,400
Speaker 2: go for like a Caleb Williams, a Drake May? What

1418
01:05:46,440 --> 01:05:49,360
Speaker 2: does Kyler have to do? This season to show that

1419
01:05:49,440 --> 01:05:50,280
Speaker 2: he's still the guy.

1420
01:05:51,040 --> 01:05:52,760
Speaker 16: I think you just have to play as well as

1421
01:05:52,760 --> 01:05:54,960
Speaker 16: he was playing last year. I mean, if you were

1422
01:05:55,080 --> 01:05:58,680
Speaker 16: called even under Cliff Peinsburg, he was having some crazy

1423
01:05:59,040 --> 01:06:03,640
Speaker 16: comeback wins fourth quarter where he looked like just the

1424
01:06:03,640 --> 01:06:06,360
Speaker 16: most athletic human on the field in every game that

1425
01:06:06,400 --> 01:06:08,480
Speaker 16: he was playing. I think that's all he has to do.

1426
01:06:08,680 --> 01:06:11,680
Speaker 16: And I think that, you know, he obviously got that

1427
01:06:11,720 --> 01:06:14,600
Speaker 16: big contract last year, and then there was a lot

1428
01:06:14,600 --> 01:06:16,560
Speaker 16: of talk about him and gaming, I know, the World

1429
01:06:16,640 --> 01:06:22,680
Speaker 16: or one of those big World of Warcraft games. Yeah out, yeah,

1430
01:06:22,720 --> 01:06:27,919
Speaker 16: two days before he's acting, which is hysterical, but yeah,

1431
01:06:28,160 --> 01:06:29,400
Speaker 16: I mean, I think he's gotten a little bit of

1432
01:06:30,200 --> 01:06:33,320
Speaker 16: to me just from that a little bit. He's around

1433
01:06:33,360 --> 01:06:35,760
Speaker 16: his teammates, he's putting the work in. He's seems all

1434
01:06:35,800 --> 01:06:37,840
Speaker 16: in on Jonathan Gannon. You heard him talking on the

1435
01:06:37,840 --> 01:06:40,240
Speaker 16: podium on Friday. I think it was where he was saying,

1436
01:06:40,240 --> 01:06:42,280
Speaker 16: we see eye to eye, we see things the same way.

1437
01:06:42,440 --> 01:06:45,400
Speaker 16: He's passionate about football. He sees you know, we're on

1438
01:06:45,440 --> 01:06:48,040
Speaker 16: the same page, it seems like. And that's more than

1439
01:06:48,040 --> 01:06:50,920
Speaker 16: I could say that he was really saying about Cliff

1440
01:06:51,120 --> 01:06:53,760
Speaker 16: when they were together. So it already seems like they're

1441
01:06:53,760 --> 01:06:55,960
Speaker 16: starting off on a good boat. Tomorrow is going to

1442
01:06:56,000 --> 01:06:58,600
Speaker 16: be really telling to see where they how they do.

1443
01:06:58,920 --> 01:07:00,760
Speaker 16: I have them winning them all.

1444
01:07:00,680 --> 01:07:03,480
Speaker 4: Right, Okay, all right, so you think the Cardinals are

1445
01:07:03,760 --> 01:07:06,760
Speaker 4: on the same page, The Buffalo Bills are not on.

1446
01:07:06,800 --> 01:07:07,800
Speaker 5: The same page.

1447
01:07:07,920 --> 01:07:11,360
Speaker 4: The second t R players only meaning that we just

1448
01:07:11,440 --> 01:07:14,480
Speaker 4: heard about, led by Latavius Murray. They are in a

1449
01:07:14,520 --> 01:07:17,080
Speaker 4: position they've never been in since Josh Allen showed up.

1450
01:07:17,120 --> 01:07:18,960
Speaker 4: If the playoffs started today, they would not be in

1451
01:07:18,960 --> 01:07:22,280
Speaker 4: the playoffs? Do you think so crazy?

1452
01:07:22,680 --> 01:07:25,280
Speaker 5: Yes? Is it? Do they still have time to turn

1453
01:07:25,280 --> 01:07:25,880
Speaker 5: things around?

1454
01:07:26,600 --> 01:07:29,040
Speaker 16: They definitely have to turn things around. It's not they're

1455
01:07:29,040 --> 01:07:32,520
Speaker 16: not clicking on offense. Defense is really where I think

1456
01:07:32,560 --> 01:07:38,320
Speaker 16: that we overlook. They've had two key defensive injuries. Arguably

1457
01:07:38,320 --> 01:07:40,440
Speaker 16: they're two best players on defense. Obviously they still have

1458
01:07:40,520 --> 01:07:44,280
Speaker 16: Von Miller. He's old now though, so a lot of

1459
01:07:44,320 --> 01:07:48,640
Speaker 16: the area. They've lost two of their best key defenders,

1460
01:07:49,200 --> 01:07:51,760
Speaker 16: and then things really aren't clicking for them on offense.

1461
01:07:51,800 --> 01:07:53,920
Speaker 16: They've got Stefan Diggs, but then other than that, who

1462
01:07:53,960 --> 01:07:55,800
Speaker 16: is their number two receiver? They really don't have a

1463
01:07:55,840 --> 01:07:59,240
Speaker 16: solid number two. Yes, Josh turns the ball over, but

1464
01:07:59,280 --> 01:08:02,320
Speaker 16: that's really not a big issue in my opinion. I

1465
01:08:02,360 --> 01:08:04,479
Speaker 16: think that they definitely need to get their run game going,

1466
01:08:05,160 --> 01:08:07,400
Speaker 16: you know. I ended that Sean mcderm's been asked about

1467
01:08:07,400 --> 01:08:09,520
Speaker 16: his play caller and Ken dor Sye a bunch, but

1468
01:08:09,560 --> 01:08:11,880
Speaker 16: he said that he's sticking by him. I don't disagree

1469
01:08:11,920 --> 01:08:13,520
Speaker 16: with that decision. I don't know if there's anybody else

1470
01:08:13,520 --> 01:08:15,320
Speaker 16: in the building that could necessarily do a better job

1471
01:08:15,360 --> 01:08:17,439
Speaker 16: than what he is doing. I also just think that

1472
01:08:17,479 --> 01:08:19,400
Speaker 16: we're holding the Bills to a really high standard as

1473
01:08:19,400 --> 01:08:21,200
Speaker 16: we should. I mean, they have now is the time

1474
01:08:21,200 --> 01:08:24,120
Speaker 16: that they should be winning. But the season is long,

1475
01:08:24,200 --> 01:08:26,880
Speaker 16: there's still eight weeks left. I still think they can

1476
01:08:27,000 --> 01:08:29,120
Speaker 16: get it together and I definitely can darning to be

1477
01:08:29,120 --> 01:08:29,840
Speaker 16: a playoff team.

1478
01:08:30,160 --> 01:08:32,040
Speaker 2: All right, Well, it feels like it's all coming together

1479
01:08:32,120 --> 01:08:36,120
Speaker 2: for the Ravens this season. First in AFC probably the

1480
01:08:36,120 --> 01:08:37,280
Speaker 2: toughest division right.

1481
01:08:37,160 --> 01:08:39,720
Speaker 16: Now, the toughest division. You know what's crazy is that

1482
01:08:39,720 --> 01:08:42,040
Speaker 16: if the playoffs were to start today, all four, all

1483
01:08:42,120 --> 01:08:44,080
Speaker 16: four teams in that division would be in the playoffs.

1484
01:08:44,120 --> 01:08:47,160
Speaker 3: That's crazy. I mean, the AFC North is the toughest division.

1485
01:08:47,280 --> 01:08:49,120
Speaker 2: Is this the season that Lamar and the Ravens can

1486
01:08:49,160 --> 01:08:51,320
Speaker 2: finally make a real, like Super Bowl run.

1487
01:08:52,320 --> 01:08:54,519
Speaker 16: It looks like it, and again, the season is long.

1488
01:08:54,600 --> 01:08:57,920
Speaker 16: So the season started off where you're thinking, gosh, they

1489
01:08:58,040 --> 01:08:59,559
Speaker 16: ended last year and they were one of the most

1490
01:08:59,560 --> 01:09:02,880
Speaker 16: like snake bitten teams in the league with injuries, and

1491
01:09:02,920 --> 01:09:06,679
Speaker 16: then Week one, Week two, it just was injury after

1492
01:09:06,720 --> 01:09:08,720
Speaker 16: injury after injury, and you're like, what is going on here?

1493
01:09:08,760 --> 01:09:10,599
Speaker 16: They just can't seem to catch a break in terms

1494
01:09:10,640 --> 01:09:13,599
Speaker 16: of injuries. But yet again, John Harball finds a way

1495
01:09:13,760 --> 01:09:16,519
Speaker 16: to work with what he has, work with players that

1496
01:09:16,560 --> 01:09:18,920
Speaker 16: weren't even on the active roster a couple of weeks ago,

1497
01:09:18,960 --> 01:09:20,920
Speaker 16: and pull them up and find ways to win the game.

1498
01:09:21,520 --> 01:09:25,040
Speaker 16: Lamar is playing probably as well as he was his

1499
01:09:25,200 --> 01:09:28,040
Speaker 16: MVP year, and so right now it does it feels

1500
01:09:28,040 --> 01:09:31,719
Speaker 16: that way. But I think the Bengals are another team

1501
01:09:31,880 --> 01:09:34,679
Speaker 16: that's also very scary right now that needs to fully

1502
01:09:34,720 --> 01:09:38,320
Speaker 16: be coming together. Since Joe Burrow's unhealthy, They've gone they

1503
01:09:38,400 --> 01:09:41,960
Speaker 16: wont fll straight games. They seem to really be clicking.

1504
01:09:42,120 --> 01:09:44,280
Speaker 16: And then we also have the Browns. Now that Deshaun

1505
01:09:44,280 --> 01:09:49,599
Speaker 16: Watson's back from his shoulder injury. They knocked the Cardinals

1506
01:09:49,600 --> 01:09:52,559
Speaker 16: out last week. Really didn't even give them a chance.

1507
01:09:52,560 --> 01:09:54,920
Speaker 16: I think they had like fifty yards of offense. I

1508
01:09:54,920 --> 01:09:58,200
Speaker 16: mean it was crazy. So that Brown's defense is really

1509
01:09:58,240 --> 01:10:02,760
Speaker 16: good at Miles Garrett. All four of those teams are

1510
01:10:03,640 --> 01:10:05,519
Speaker 16: seem like they're I mean, besides the Steelers. I don't

1511
01:10:05,560 --> 01:10:08,400
Speaker 16: necessarily think the Steelers have really found their rhythm, but

1512
01:10:08,439 --> 01:10:10,439
Speaker 16: they still find a way to some I mean win

1513
01:10:10,680 --> 01:10:15,320
Speaker 16: win the game. But more so Brown Spangles than Bravens

1514
01:10:15,360 --> 01:10:18,160
Speaker 16: do seem to really be gelling right now. I think

1515
01:10:18,160 --> 01:10:21,519
Speaker 16: that at this point in the season, it just comes

1516
01:10:21,560 --> 01:10:24,800
Speaker 16: down to who can stay healthy, who can avoid big injuries,

1517
01:10:27,080 --> 01:10:29,439
Speaker 16: and so yeah, I mean it's probably the most exciting

1518
01:10:29,439 --> 01:10:30,479
Speaker 16: division I think in football.

1519
01:10:30,600 --> 01:10:33,880
Speaker 4: A little biased, but yeah, yeah, that's fine from from

1520
01:10:33,920 --> 01:10:35,320
Speaker 4: exciting to disappointing.

1521
01:10:35,320 --> 01:10:37,320
Speaker 5: And I'm talking about my Chargers tailor.

1522
01:10:37,720 --> 01:10:42,200
Speaker 4: Like on paper, they have all these big names side

1523
01:10:42,200 --> 01:10:44,080
Speaker 4: of the ball, offensive side of the ball, and yet

1524
01:10:44,160 --> 01:10:48,400
Speaker 4: I feel like they keep making like stupid mental mistakes,

1525
01:10:48,439 --> 01:10:51,960
Speaker 4: like they're not disciplined. And I hate to blame the coach,

1526
01:10:52,320 --> 01:10:54,560
Speaker 4: but is it the coach why they're not disciplined?

1527
01:10:54,920 --> 01:10:57,920
Speaker 16: I mean, at some point you have to write it

1528
01:10:58,120 --> 01:11:00,680
Speaker 16: just seems like they are making maschae. And then some

1529
01:11:00,760 --> 01:11:05,720
Speaker 16: of the play calls even this season have been quequestionable

1530
01:11:05,760 --> 01:11:08,280
Speaker 16: at the end of games. And then another thing that

1531
01:11:08,320 --> 01:11:10,200
Speaker 16: I mean not putting it all on Brandon Stey, because

1532
01:11:10,240 --> 01:11:12,479
Speaker 16: I do think he's a fantastic coach, but he's a

1533
01:11:12,520 --> 01:11:14,600
Speaker 16: defensive mind, and it just seems like the first, you know,

1534
01:11:14,680 --> 01:11:17,439
Speaker 16: six weeks of the season, it was their defense that

1535
01:11:17,520 --> 01:11:20,879
Speaker 16: was really struggling and they looked like they were not gelling.

1536
01:11:22,880 --> 01:11:25,240
Speaker 16: It's frustrating to watch those games. It's frustrating to cover

1537
01:11:25,320 --> 01:11:27,759
Speaker 16: those games, especially when you're running from sideline to sideline

1538
01:11:27,760 --> 01:11:30,120
Speaker 16: in the fourth quarter of three minutes left every single

1539
01:11:30,640 --> 01:11:32,600
Speaker 16: every single week, going back and forth because you just

1540
01:11:32,600 --> 01:11:34,439
Speaker 16: don't know who's gonna win. It always seems to come

1541
01:11:34,479 --> 01:11:37,200
Speaker 16: down to that final three minutes, final five minutes in

1542
01:11:37,200 --> 01:11:40,400
Speaker 16: the fourth quarter. But yeah, it's it just does not

1543
01:11:40,400 --> 01:11:42,680
Speaker 16: feel like it's their year, even though it should be.

1544
01:11:42,840 --> 01:11:44,559
Speaker 16: Look at all the weapons they have on defense, look

1545
01:11:44,560 --> 01:11:46,800
Speaker 16: at all the weapons they have on offense. I feel

1546
01:11:47,640 --> 01:11:49,080
Speaker 16: Herbert as the quarterback.

1547
01:11:48,840 --> 01:11:51,160
Speaker 2: Since they've gotten Herbert, like you should be good, you

1548
01:11:51,240 --> 01:11:53,600
Speaker 2: should is your year. Maybe it's just and they just

1549
01:11:53,720 --> 01:11:54,559
Speaker 2: like come short.

1550
01:11:54,640 --> 01:11:58,960
Speaker 4: They charger the Chargers, Charger the charger, are you, Yeah,

1551
01:11:59,040 --> 01:12:01,080
Speaker 4: like the Clippers Clippers Chargers charger.

1552
01:12:00,920 --> 01:12:02,040
Speaker 16: Way to lose a game.

1553
01:12:02,280 --> 01:12:04,120
Speaker 6: Yes, I've heard it with the Chargers.

1554
01:12:04,240 --> 01:12:07,280
Speaker 2: Oh okay, all right, Taylor, We're halfway through the season.

1555
01:12:07,479 --> 01:12:10,280
Speaker 2: We did our mid season report cards today, so I

1556
01:12:10,320 --> 01:12:13,960
Speaker 2: want to know who your biggest surprise this season has been?

1557
01:12:15,040 --> 01:12:15,599
Speaker 6: Good or bad?

1558
01:12:15,920 --> 01:12:21,439
Speaker 16: Hmm, that's it. You know. I had always circled the

1559
01:12:21,479 --> 01:12:23,200
Speaker 16: Texans that you know, every year there's a team that

1560
01:12:23,240 --> 01:12:27,000
Speaker 16: goes from worst to first in their division. And after

1561
01:12:27,080 --> 01:12:29,840
Speaker 16: the Texans draft, I mean, it was the Texans. So

1562
01:12:29,880 --> 01:12:32,000
Speaker 16: you can't really say, oh, gosh, I was expecting this

1563
01:12:32,040 --> 01:12:35,240
Speaker 16: to happen. I wasn't expecting this to happen, except they

1564
01:12:35,520 --> 01:12:37,559
Speaker 16: have been a big surprise for me, just and how

1565
01:12:37,680 --> 01:12:42,519
Speaker 16: quickly they've gotten together. Niko Ryan's obviously coming from the

1566
01:12:42,520 --> 01:12:46,320
Speaker 16: forty nine ers with such a great defensive coordinator, it's

1567
01:12:46,360 --> 01:12:49,920
Speaker 16: no surprise that he's a great head coach. And then

1568
01:12:49,960 --> 01:12:53,360
Speaker 16: c J. Stroud has just been off the charts outstanding

1569
01:12:54,360 --> 01:12:58,680
Speaker 16: year so far, So I would say they're my biggest surprise.

1570
01:13:00,200 --> 01:13:03,000
Speaker 2: Are all on the same page, Yeah, yeah, Monsey had

1571
01:13:03,479 --> 01:13:04,400
Speaker 2: the Texan.

1572
01:13:04,120 --> 01:13:06,360
Speaker 4: Right for the most improved because just like you just said,

1573
01:13:06,400 --> 01:13:07,680
Speaker 4: I wasn't expecting.

1574
01:13:07,280 --> 01:13:09,160
Speaker 5: This, Jay Shroud.

1575
01:13:09,320 --> 01:13:10,599
Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, do.

1576
01:13:10,520 --> 01:13:12,400
Speaker 16: You think that normally, Like, I mean, it takes some time,

1577
01:13:13,040 --> 01:13:16,200
Speaker 16: you would take those rookies to develop and then get

1578
01:13:16,240 --> 01:13:18,639
Speaker 16: acclimated with a new coach, especially when the whole team

1579
01:13:18,680 --> 01:13:21,200
Speaker 16: is under a new head coach. But they seem to

1580
01:13:21,200 --> 01:13:22,519
Speaker 16: be getting it together pretty quickly.

1581
01:13:23,200 --> 01:13:27,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, well when lucky for us, we had so

1582
01:13:27,960 --> 01:13:31,000
Speaker 2: much football left. All right, I know, a whole other season. Okay,

1583
01:13:31,800 --> 01:13:34,559
Speaker 2: let's do the opposite end. Who's been like your biggest

1584
01:13:34,560 --> 01:13:36,200
Speaker 2: disappointment so far this season?

1585
01:13:38,040 --> 01:13:40,760
Speaker 16: No, I mean maybe the Raiders.

1633
01:15:39,040 --> 01:15:41,639

Speaker 2: without any lightning strike and then you can come back.

1639
01:15:55,439 --> 01:15:57,639
Speaker 4: But that's crazy to me when I see the rain

1640
01:15:57,760 --> 01:15:59,680
Speaker 4: like this, or where I see like the ground is

1641
01:16:00,040 --> 01:16:03,000
Speaker 4: white of snow and you're still playing, Like that's so crazy.

1642
01:16:03,000 --> 01:16:04,479
Speaker 3: That was my favorite time to play soccer.

1643
01:16:04,800 --> 01:16:08,639
Speaker 2: Like, I absolutely loved monsoon games because I'm a slight tackler,

1644
01:16:08,800 --> 01:16:11,680
Speaker 2: take people out and I was like, whoa coming in

1645
01:16:11,760 --> 01:16:12,320

1646

Speaker 3: Off, Okay, so we gotta do this.

1653
01:16:29,080 --> 01:16:32,120
Speaker 2: Take out those two weeks that I was gone, because

1654
01:16:32,120 --> 01:16:35,240
Speaker 2: it doesn't count. That wasn't me picking. If you do

1655
01:16:35,240 --> 01:16:37,320
Speaker 2: you have any crying babies. If I take out those

1656
01:16:37,360 --> 01:16:41,639
Speaker 2: two weeks, what is our record? Because it's me versus Moncey.

1657
01:16:42,240 --> 01:16:44,040
Speaker 6: I'll have to update you that on next week.

1658
01:16:44,080 --> 01:16:45,800
Speaker 2: Next week, okay, So next week, take out the two

1659
01:16:45,840 --> 01:16:48,200
Speaker 2: weeks I was gone because you can't have someone sub

1660
01:16:48,240 --> 01:16:49,639
Speaker 2: in for the full final thing.

1661
01:16:50,320 --> 01:16:52,599
Speaker 5: It's not fair, thank you. It's got to be fair,

1662
01:16:52,640 --> 01:16:55,840
Speaker 5: and that ain't fair. We're all about fairness here.

1663
01:16:56,160 --> 01:16:59,080
Speaker 11: Oh well, in all fairness, you went three and one

1664
01:16:59,160 --> 01:17:01,240
Speaker 11: last week and Monsey went one in three.

1665
01:17:01,280 --> 01:17:03,040
Speaker 5: That's right, So Alex.

1666
01:17:02,880 --> 01:17:06,000
Speaker 11: Nineteen and thirteen on the year pending, Yeah, Penn and

1667
01:17:06,040 --> 01:17:07,280
Speaker 11: Monsey twenty two and ten.

1668
01:17:07,360 --> 01:17:07,759
Speaker 5: Gotcha?

1669
01:17:07,840 --> 01:17:08,120
Speaker 3: All right?

1670
01:17:08,120 --> 01:17:09,439
Speaker 6: Well, so let's move on to this week.

1671
01:17:09,560 --> 01:17:09,880
Speaker 3: Okay.

1672
01:17:09,920 --> 01:17:12,120
Speaker 11: We got the forty nine ers on the road against

1673
01:17:12,120 --> 01:17:15,080
Speaker 11: the Jaguars. Forty nine Ers are favored by three in

1674
01:17:15,120 --> 01:17:17,000
Speaker 11: this one. Alex will start with you, okay.

1675
01:17:17,160 --> 01:17:19,679
Speaker 2: I mean they're both coming off their bye weeks. Jags

1676
01:17:19,680 --> 01:17:24,919
Speaker 2: have won five straight, forty nine Ers have lost three straight,

1677
01:17:24,960 --> 01:17:27,519
Speaker 2: but Debos expected to be back. For me, this feels

1678
01:17:27,520 --> 01:17:29,720
Speaker 2: like I went back and forth on this one. This

1679
01:17:29,800 --> 01:17:33,360
Speaker 2: feels like a bounce back, desperate need win game for

1680
01:17:33,520 --> 01:17:36,559
Speaker 2: the forty nine ers. So I'm gonna take San Francisco here.

1681
01:17:36,760 --> 01:17:39,000
Speaker 5: This was hard for you to decide. Yeah, really, I

1682
01:17:39,400 --> 01:17:41,840
Speaker 5: have the forty nine ers. I just there's no way,

1683
01:17:42,320 --> 01:17:43,280
Speaker 5: there's no way.

1684
01:17:43,640 --> 01:17:47,439
Speaker 4: Well, the forty nine ers don't come back stronger after

1685
01:17:47,520 --> 01:17:50,519
Speaker 4: a bye, after losing three in a row. There's and

1686
01:17:50,560 --> 01:17:52,439
Speaker 4: this is nothing against the Jags, you know what I'm saying,

1687
01:17:52,560 --> 01:17:54,680
Speaker 4: Like they have they have been great.

1688
01:17:55,120 --> 01:17:58,400
Speaker 3: But but Trevor Lawrence has been great.

1689
01:17:58,520 --> 01:18:03,240
Speaker 2: And this is in Jacksonville, and that means it's gonna

1690
01:18:03,280 --> 01:18:05,759
Speaker 2: be like a ten am start time for the forty

1691
01:18:05,840 --> 01:18:09,800
Speaker 2: nine ers when you're back home again. I'm like contradicting

1692
01:18:09,840 --> 01:18:12,040
Speaker 2: myself on things here, but I'm picking the forty nine ers.

1693
01:18:12,080 --> 01:18:14,479
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm taking the forty nine ers too. Yeah, for sure.

1694
01:18:14,680 --> 01:18:19,120
Speaker 11: Fine, we have the Detroit Lions. Chris profets Detroit Lions.

1695
01:18:19,120 --> 01:18:21,439
Speaker 11: On the road against Moncey's Chargers.

1696
01:18:21,439 --> 01:18:22,400
Speaker 5: It's not really a road game.

1697
01:18:25,880 --> 01:18:29,360
Speaker 6: Yeah, all right, Lions are favored by three. Monci will

1698
01:18:29,400 --> 01:18:30,479
Speaker 6: start with you on this one.

1699
01:18:30,680 --> 01:18:32,400
Speaker 5: This one. I'm I'm torn.

1700
01:18:32,960 --> 01:18:38,000
Speaker 4: I am legit torn because, as I've said, the Chargers charge,

1701
01:18:38,560 --> 01:18:41,599
Speaker 4: they're up, they're up at halftime, and then they find

1702
01:18:41,600 --> 01:18:42,360
Speaker 4: a way to lose.

1703
01:18:42,400 --> 01:18:42,960
Speaker 6: Gotta get out.

1704
01:18:42,960 --> 01:18:49,320
Speaker 4: The Lions have been a consistently solid team.

1705
01:18:50,160 --> 01:18:52,280
Speaker 5: I'm taking the Lions.

1706
01:18:52,920 --> 01:18:54,519
Speaker 3: How much did that hurt a lot?

1707
01:18:54,760 --> 01:18:55,080
Speaker 6: Yeah?

1708
01:18:55,120 --> 01:18:55,599
Speaker 3: A lot?

1709
01:18:55,800 --> 01:18:57,000
Speaker 5: But I'm taking the Lions.

1710
01:18:57,080 --> 01:19:01,600
Speaker 2: Gosh, Okay, we're Samsey's right now. I mean Lions, and

1711
01:19:01,600 --> 01:19:05,360
Speaker 2: they've got Montgommery back. They're three and one on the road.

1712
01:19:05,479 --> 01:19:08,479
Speaker 2: Chargers are one and three against winning teams. Yeah, I'm

1713
01:19:08,520 --> 01:19:10,719
Speaker 2: taking I'm taking the Lions here. I'm feeling pretty good

1714
01:19:11,240 --> 01:19:14,000
Speaker 2: about the Lions. I h I bet on them in

1715
01:19:14,080 --> 01:19:16,880
Speaker 2: Vegas with the start of the season over six and

1716
01:19:16,920 --> 01:19:19,080
Speaker 2: a half wins, so I'm feeling pretty feel pretty good

1717
01:19:19,080 --> 01:19:19,559
Speaker 2: about that bet.

1718
01:19:19,640 --> 01:19:21,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, you're about to cash that here real soon.

1719
01:19:21,479 --> 01:19:23,920
Speaker 3: It hurts me, thank you, Cowboys.

1720
01:19:23,920 --> 01:19:26,960
Speaker 11: Favored on the road by seventeen and a half going

1721
01:19:27,000 --> 01:19:27,799
Speaker 11: to the Giants.

1722
01:19:27,800 --> 01:19:31,160
Speaker 5: It's like the Monstars playing Will start with you.

1723
01:19:31,400 --> 01:19:36,120
Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's a scary, big favored number. But

1724
01:19:36,320 --> 01:19:39,840
Speaker 2: they also need a huge bounce back win after their

1725
01:19:39,920 --> 01:19:43,120
Speaker 2: loss to the Eagles. The Cowboys should win this one.

1726
01:19:43,160 --> 01:19:48,120
Speaker 2: I am picking them to win this one, but it's

1727
01:19:48,200 --> 01:19:50,559
Speaker 2: just like such a big favorite, sometimes you like play

1728
01:19:50,640 --> 01:19:52,360
Speaker 2: down to the level of your opponent.

1729
01:19:52,439 --> 01:19:54,280
Speaker 5: I hope that's not the case. But the Cowboys should

1730
01:19:54,280 --> 01:19:58,799
Speaker 5: crush the Giants. Yeah, Cowboys. Yes. Monstars versus Looney Tunes

1731

Speaker 5: without Michael Jor.

1732
