Speaker 1: But you know, but by the way, Tony, on the

8
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 1: subject of education, have you been watching the digital numbers

9
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 1: for our Twitter account The Fosco Show, Oh, you know,

10
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 1: the metric in this business. We're gonna give you a

11
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,199
Speaker 1: little lesson here, people. The metric in this business that

12
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 1: really counts when you talk digital is impressions. We're getting

13
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: hundreds and thousands of impressions that big exposure. Yeah, I

14
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 1: mean it makes a lot of sense because we're making

15
00:00:55,080 --> 00:01:00,080
Speaker 1: very big impressions on people, big big anyway, So know,

16
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 1: we got Dean Blandino coming up in a few minutes

17
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 1: and uh, by the way, we told him we got

18
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:06,960
Speaker 1: some suggestions on how, you know, the NFL could finally

19
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 1: improve itself, and it sounds like he wants to hear

20
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,479
Speaker 1: our advice. So you know we're gonna give it to him.

21
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:16,400
Speaker 1: Here we are. But first, as always, time to look

22
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: back at the NFL week that was with Week five

23
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 1: takeaways five takeaways Eagles at Steelers. All right. You know

24
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: we have people coming up doors this week and saying, hey,

25
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 1: you said the Eagles we're gonna win fourteen games. People,

26
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 1: we meant total games. That's ten in the regular season,

27
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,119
Speaker 1: then four in the postseason. You know, you gotta when

28
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 1: you listen to the show, you need to pay attention, right,

29
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 1: don't need these people. You know what happens is your

30
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,759
Speaker 1: people are driving and you're not paying attention to what

31
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: we're saying. It's called active listening. Yeah, active listening, So

32
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: you know that's on you listen a little more actively. Yeah.

33
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: News at Bears al right, Well, that the eight is

34
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 1: settled now because uh, we clearly see that Belichick was

35
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: the brains of that Patriots operation. Because look at Tom Brady,

36
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: he doesn't even know how many downs each team gets.

37
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 1: You know, Bill Belichick used to have to tell him Tom,

38
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: you don't get five downs, it's four downs. And Tom

39
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: would say, wait, why are they telling me to get

40
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,839
Speaker 1: off the field? And then Belichick would tell him that's

41
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 1: the rules. Tom, Now go sit down because now the

42
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,799
Speaker 1: other team gets the ball, and you know Tom will

43
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: be looking around like, why can't I throw? I want

44
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 1: more downs? Giants at Carol Boys. All right, last week

45
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 1: we told you you can go back and you can

46
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 1: listen to the tape. Rewind didn't go back. We told

47
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: you Andy Dalton would be taken the field for the

48
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: Cowboys at quarterback. And what do you know this week?

49
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 1: Look who comes into the game the red rifle himself.

50
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 1: Now you're gonna say to us, well, there were different circumstances. No,

51
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter how we got there. We predicted it.

52
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 1: He was in the game, that's all you gotta know.

53
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: Jaguar was at Dexan's. You watched this one, Tony? No? No,

54
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:13,679
Speaker 1: I didn't, did you? Raiders at Chiefe? What have we

55
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: been saying about Patrick Mahomes all year long? That he

56
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: only wins one quarter pack game. He always wins the

57
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: fourth quarter but loses the first three quarters. But this

58
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 1: time he won the first quarter and then lost the

59
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: next three quarters and lost the game. We've been got

60
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:34,360
Speaker 1: it all he got it all wrong. He got ahead

61
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 1: of himself, thought, oh I'm gonna put my stamp on

62
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: this game, tossed away his quarter and lost the game.

63
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: That's basically what happens in Vegas too, right, Tony, the

64
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 1: wrong time, you got it and guess what the Chiefs

65
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: Dynasty it's over. Player of the week. This week's playoff

66
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: of the week goes to none other than Jimmy G.

67
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo. Now that he got benched, he has more

68
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: time to spend on his real passion dating adult film stars,

69
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 1: film stars such as Pia Ramia, Mia Khalifa, and even

70
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: the classic Nina Hartley. This is a good development for

71
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: Jimmy G and frankly makes PAULI and I a little

72
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 1: bit jealous because we respect his off field accomplishments just

73
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: as much, if not more than his on the field accomplishments.

74
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,840
Speaker 1: That's true, We've enjoyed watching him much more off the

75
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: field than on the field. You know, on TMZ, doing

76
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 1: great work there. So you know, our hats off to you,

77
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 1: Jimmy G. Enjoy your time off. You're our player of

78
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: the week. Alright, So that wraps up by NFL Takeaways,

79
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: and just in time because I see him coming on

80
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,359
Speaker 1: the line here. Let's bringing our guests on the FUSCO

81
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: Satellite network Satellite. All right, let's get him in here.

82
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 1: Rules analysts for the NFL on Fox. You've probably seen

83
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: him on there. He was also the head of officiating

84
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 1: for the NFL. Whoa kind of a big daily are

85
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: is Dean Blandino? Welcome to the show. Thanks guys for

86
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 1: having me. It's it's an honor. Yeah, we know. Anyway,

87
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 1: all right, Uh, let's just get down to you know,

88
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: brass tacks. Refereeing in the NFL. It's just getting worse

89
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,159
Speaker 1: every year. It's just a joke, you know. You know,

90
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,359
Speaker 1: we've been watching these Eagles games. They're getting held on

91
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 1: every single play. Nobody's calling it. Why are refs just

92
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 1: so bad at their jobs? Well, I mean that's a

93
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 1: that's a pretty bold statement. I think you're talking about

94
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 1: the best officials in the world. It's just it's a

95
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: it's a profession that is is very um thankless, and

96
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: no matter how good you are, you're always gonna have

97
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 1: at least half the people that think you're you're full

98
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: of crap. So it's just one of those deals. It

99
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 1: seemed to be more from where I'm standing. Are you

100
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: talking about now? Are the Eagles getting you know, more

101
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: of the wrong end of the calls every play the

102
00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 1: Eagles defensive ends againting held have statistics to back that up.

103
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:06,679
Speaker 1: Or two eyes, two eyes, that's who statistic four eyes,

104
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 1: two and two and two. There you go. Well, then

105
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,359
Speaker 1: you got doubled. Now we want to know. We know

106
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,039
Speaker 1: that the refs get picked for each game. Now who

107
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 1: actually does the picking? Is it Bill Belichick who's doing it? No? No,

108
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:20,840
Speaker 1: the coaches don't have anything to do with it. That's

109
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: the whoever, whoever was in whoever is in my old

110
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 1: job right the head of officiating. There's this whole staff,

111
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: there's supervisors, and they put the crews together and then

112
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 1: they put a schedule together based on where these teams are.

113
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 1: You know which teams they're playing. You can't see, like

114
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 1: if they can't see one crew can't see the Eagles

115
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 1: more than twice in a season because if something goes

116
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: you know, kind of haywire in a game. You don't

117
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 1: want to continue to to work Eagles games. After what's

118
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: going on this year. I think once enough for this

119
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: for this crew. The you got on us, I figured

120
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 1: you'd feel that way. Let me ask you another question. No,

121
00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,799
Speaker 1: we've been sitting around watching these things. You know, you refs,

122
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: you get so well, you know, into yourselves that you

123
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,679
Speaker 1: start throwing these players out of games. Don't you agree

124
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 1: that the refs should be thrown out of the game's dope? Yeah,

125
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: there shouldn't they be like a checks and balances, like,

126
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 1: yeah you put me out o? Yeah, balance the power? Yeah,

127
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 1: I mean, but it's the referees who are responsible for

128
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 1: officiating the game. They're in charge of administering the game

129
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 1: and the rules. The players playing, the coaches coach. So

130
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: if you start throwing referees out of the game, who's

131
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 1: going to officiate the game? I don't I don't think

132
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 1: that that's gonna work. What if they were like you

133
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: could throw a flag on a ref, you know, like

134
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 1: the ref didn't make a good call. Yeah, that's good.

135
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: You don't throw them out, you just punish them a little.

136
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: I thank you, guys, you're onto something. I think we've

137
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: got your thinking here. You finally it seems like you

138
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 1: really like me. All right. Now, Look, we're gonna give

139
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: you some ideas here that Tony and I we came

140

153
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 1: they're gonna hear this interview. They're gonna know. So so

154
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,079
Speaker 1: here's here's the first idea. You know, we have a

155
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:42,599
Speaker 1: standard one point conversion after a touchdown the p A

156
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:46,439
Speaker 1: t then you have a two point conversion. Me and Paulie,

157
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: what if we came up with a one hundred point conversion?

158
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: You know, after the touchdown you started your own goal

159
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 1: line and then you have to go a hundred yards

160
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 1: and you know it's doable. I mean yeah, I think. Look,

161
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 1: I don't I don't not love the idea. I'm just

162
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, here's my problem with the hundred point play, right,

163
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:13,599
Speaker 1: it's it's probably going to be a very rare conversion.

164
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: How many hundred how many hundred yard players have there

165
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 1: been in the history of the NFL, and you think

166
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,079
Speaker 1: of how many hundreds. The problem you got to give

167
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 1: them incentive. You're only giving them six points. You got

168
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 1: to give them a hundred. Then they'll go for it.

169
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 1: If you don't score a touch down, and then I

170
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 1: get a hundred point conversion, it's a hundred and six

171
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:35,319
Speaker 1: to nothing, I'm turning. I'll turn off the game because

172
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 1: the other team gets the shot. Tony, throw me the

173
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 1: next one. You remember when you were a kid and

174
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 1: you were playing football in the street and one guy

175
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,599
Speaker 1: was like the best quarterback, so he played quarterback for

176
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 1: both teams. Yeah, exactly. You know, universal quarterback, the universal

177
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 1: quarterback in New York we called it, right, So right,

178
00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: we want to see that and put that in the NFL.

179
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 1: Let's say the Bears are playing the forty Niners. The

180
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 1: forty Niners are like, look, we got C. J. Betha,

181
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 1: Jimmy G. Nick Molins, they all suck. We want to

182
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 1: use Nick Foles this way, you know, Nick Foles plays

183
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: for the Bears, and then he gets to play quarterback

184
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 1: for the Niners, and then we get to see the

185
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 1: best quarterbacks in action even more. Yeah, so then it

186
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: comes down you can really decide which team is the

187
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,439
Speaker 1: best because you get to see who has the best

188
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 1: supporting cast. Then we really know who the best team is.

189
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 1: I the concept is the way you describe it is

190
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 1: is it's not. It's very interesting I think though, as

191
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 1: it pertains to salaries and and and and salary cap

192
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 1: and and teams players under contract. I just wonder how

193
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 1: that would all work with one player. Who who would

194
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 1: that player belong to? He just be he belongs to

195
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 1: the league. Think of the business side, Yeah, we're businessmen,

196
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 1: so we think about how this would help Jersey sales.

197
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 1: So imagine you could buy a Nick Foles forty nine

198
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: is Jersey or Patrick Mahomes Jets Jersey. It's it's not

199
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 1: you know, they do you guys. I'm sure you guys

200
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,679
Speaker 1: are hockey fans, flyer fans. They do have that rule

201
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:19,319
Speaker 1: to back up the emergency goalie who's actually like a

202
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 1: you know, he's like a vendor and he can come

203
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 1: in and play for either team if if the goalies

204
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 1: are injured, so I mean there is precedent, so you know,

205
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 1: I think that when we might be able to push

206
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 1: right there we go. Good, alright, just a couple more. Uh,

207
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 1: let's talk about power plays now. You know in hockey

208
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 1: you got the power play soccer kind of to lacrosse.

209
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 1: Why don't they do that in football? You know, a

210
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 1: guy gets the penalties outfit two minutes, it's eleven on ten,

211
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:50,680
Speaker 1: eleven on nine. Why why are we not doing power plays?

212
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:54,320
Speaker 1: It's again, to be honest with you, that that was

213
00:11:54,440 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 1: discussed in the XFL rules um process of end of

214
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 1: having a yardage. I should have gone to work for

215
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 1: the XFL then that would have been smart. You know,

216
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 1: there was a thought that if if there was a

217
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 1: penalty that maybe was more of like a kind of

218
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:13,319
Speaker 1: a borderline, that the player would be sent out versus

219
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,200
Speaker 1: getting yardage against his team. But there was never any

220
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 1: consideration for playing eleven on ten. I think that is

221
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 1: too much of an advantage, and that would be that

222
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 1: would be too great an advantage for the offensive team

223
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 1: or the defensive team, which ever have more players. Okay, okay,

224
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 1: here we go. You know, yeah, yeah, right, now you

225
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 1: kind of sucking the fun out of these. But a right,

226
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 1: let's let's see, let's just see if we can get

227
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 1: you to think outside that. It's the last one. As

228
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:42,319
Speaker 1: you know, over time, it's too slow. We know, as

229
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 1: Eagles fans, we just had a tie, you know, we

230
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 1: gotta pick up the pace, you know, and it sucks

231
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 1: when you get a tie. So here's the fix, and

232
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: over time, the team on offense gets to play with

233
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 1: two balls. Just imagine tom Brady has two balls. He

234
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 1: ends one off and then he has the other one

235
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,959
Speaker 1: and he's throwing a touchdown pass. And not only that,

236
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:09,560
Speaker 1: if tom Brady throws a touchdown and then the running

237
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:16,960
Speaker 1: back scores a touchdown, they both count double touchdown, double touchdown. Okay, again,

238
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 1: I'm just like, I'm just gonna play Devil's advocate and

239
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:21,959
Speaker 1: poke some holes in that one, because I feel like

240
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 1: I love, I love where you guys are, and you're

241
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:26,960
Speaker 1: thinking outside the box, and I feel like I could

242
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 1: be kind of just the grounding influence to bring you

243
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 1: back to more like dead weight. But okay, yeah, I

244
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 1: get it. But Blanket, what if tom Brady hands off

245
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: and the runner fumbles and the defense recovers and returns

246
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 1: it for a touchdown with one football, but he throws

247
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 1: a touchdown pass. Yeah, you go, keeps going, keeps going,

248
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 1: keeps going, both teams score. Yeah, then where do you

249
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 1: where do you put the football? If he again, if

250
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 1: he hands off and the gain six yards and he

251
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:05,079
Speaker 1: throws and that catches made for ten yards, where does

252
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 1: the ball go six yard? Snyards? You know this this

253
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 1: this is the kind of stuff you nerds sit around

254
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:12,680
Speaker 1: and talk about and then you figure it out. You

255
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 1: know you can do that. You know your numbers. Way

256
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 1: you want to get out your idea, Guys, your idea, Yeah,

257
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 1: that's that's what and then you say go with this,

258
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 1: and then us nerds, we have to work out all

259
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 1: the kinks. We're giving you solutions. You know you keep

260
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 1: wanting to poke holes in it. But look, we've presented

261
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: you with several you know, smart, very well thought out rules.

262
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 1: Which ones where you'll be which ones will you'll be

263
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 1: taken to the competition committee where? Well, I think I

264
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 1: think the universal quarterback is one that I think we

265
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 1: can discuss because we're just you know, we're trying to

266
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 1: protect quarterbacks, less quarterbacks, less injuries. So I think I'm

267
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 1: gonna take the universal quarterback. Yeah, but what about the

268
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:59,239
Speaker 1: other one? Yeah? I think honestly, I think these ideas

269
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 1: are are a little bit what you say and wait, yeah,

270
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 1: wait a little bit what finished the thought? Finished the thought? Dean, There,

271
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 1: they're ahead of their time. You're ahead. Let me tell

272
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: you you're ahead of your time because your ass is

273
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 1: gonna be off the show. Yeah, because we got a

274
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 1: rule on this show. You don't show us the respect

275
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 1: we deserve, we eject you. Ref you're off. You're good? Vie?

276
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 1: Is he off the line? Off the line? Jay? I

277
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 1: got a bad feeling about that guy, Tony. I think

278
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 1: he's running off because he's gonna go take those ideas

279
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 1: of how he tried to rush us off the line,

280
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 1: and he was ready to bounce because he's calling the

281
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 1: NFL rules committee right now. But you know whatever, he

282
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 1: can take them because we got we got a hundred

283
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 1: more ideas with that. Thank Besides, we got you know,

284
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 1: as always at this time, Tony, we got business to handle.

285
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 1: So let's get into because you know this week, Uh,

286
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 1: there was someone in the sports industry had a little

287
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 1: problem with an advertise when he ran on Twitter. So

288
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 1: we're gonna do this guy a solid and do the

289
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 1: ad here for him and you. And that's why right

290
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 1: now we're gonna do an ad for ian Rappaports manscaping products,

291
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 1: a line that has the seal of approval from a

292
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 1: trusted NFL insider, because you know, when you're shaving your

293
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 1: private parts, you want to get that insider knowledge inside

Speaker 1: your boxes. And you know, this is what we look

295
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:31,840

296
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 1: people tune into the NFL network to find out who's

297
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 1: being traded and how to cut their dick hair exactly.

298
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 1: And that's some good advice because you know, you can't

299
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 1: go around using other products to shave your private parts, right,

300

305
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 1: In Rappaports manscaping products come with a built in alert

306
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:11,359
Speaker 1: system that if your manscape bit is getting too close

307
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 1: to your Johnson, it will be but it will also

308
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,640
Speaker 1: be if there's a trade alert in the NFL. So

309
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,919
Speaker 1: it's the best of both worlds. I remember using it

310
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 1: and during the off season then and I said, wait

311
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 1: a minute, I'm not getting too close. And then oh

312
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 1: my god, did the Texans really just trade Hopkins to

313
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 1: the Cardinals? That's wrappaport there you go. All right, Well,

314
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 1: I think you know that was a very good ad

315
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 1: to Tony. I think Ian must have been real touched

316
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 1: by what we just did for him. Absolutely. Uh. You know,

317
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:47,879
Speaker 1: we're running short on time, but you know we've been

318
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:49,959
Speaker 1: hitting it out of the park with our predictions, so

319
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 1: I think we should do it as a service to

320
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 1: the people, do a predictions for the upcoming week in

321
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,199
Speaker 1: the NFL. What do you say, Tony? Yeah, we're like

322
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:59,160
Speaker 1: forty four and one right now. All right, here we go.

323
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 1: Let's get in dot Ravens verse Eagles. The Ravens are

324
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 1: gonna get complacent coming off a big when the Eagles

325
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,959
Speaker 1: are hungry coming off that loss to the Steelers. And

326
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 1: did you know that coming off of losses to the Steelers,

327
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 1: the Eagles are seventy one and two. I think the

328
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:18,879
Speaker 1: Eagles are gonna take it to the sleeping Ravens. I

329
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:22,919
Speaker 1: like the Eagles in this one fifty nine three. You know, people,

330
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 1: we told you at the top of the show. We

331
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 1: see the Eagles winning fourteen total games this year. That

332
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,159
Speaker 1: means they gotta win this one, so you can go

333
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 1: ahead and book it. I see the Eagles strolling to

334
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 1: win sixty three to twelve. All right, Washington at Giants.

335
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 1: Alex Smith has rejuvenated the Washington offense. The Giants continue

336
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:47,640
Speaker 1: their abysmal run. I like Washington with their upstar offense

337
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 1: to take it to the g Men two to nothing.

338
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 1: You know, if there's any team that should be changing

339
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 1: their nickname, it's the Giants. I mean, they looked like

340
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:57,360
Speaker 1: a Peewhee League team out there calling themselves the Giants.

341
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,159
Speaker 1: I like Washington, you know, step on them. I go

342
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 1: Washington seventy four Giant six Packers versus Buccaneers. Aaron Rodgers

343
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 1: understands the game of football. Tom Brady still doesn't understand.

344
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 1: How many downs you get one week isn't enough to

345
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 1: teach Tom Brady how to play football. I love the

346
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 1: Packers here in a flowout ten. I don't think you

347
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 1: know you can trust Brady to run a team anymore.

348
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:24,920
Speaker 1: I see the I see the Packers winning this game

349
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,399
Speaker 1: by forfeit because Tom Brady forgets to show up to

350
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:31,719
Speaker 1: the game. All right, the last one here, Cardinals versus Cowboys.

351
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,880
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton is so terrible that he lost his job

352
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 1: to a kid that never played in the NFL before.

353
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:43,640
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if coach McCarthy brings back Dak Prescott,

354
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:47,439
Speaker 1: even with one leg. I still like the Cardinals to

355
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 1: win this one in a tough game. Forty two to

356
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 1: thirty eight. One legged deck will look pretty good. I

357
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 1: do think a one legged deck is better than Andy Dalton,

358
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 1: not as good as Kyler Murray and all fans, but

359
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:04,880
Speaker 1: us I'll go Cardinals forty two, Cowboys thirty eight. All right, Well,

360
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,400
Speaker 1: that does it for the show. I'm not gonna say

361
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:10,119
Speaker 1: thank you, not no way, Tony to a Dean Blandino,

362
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 1: because you know he stole our ideas and ran off

363
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 1: with them. Yeah, he's probably cashing the checks right now

364
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 1: as we speak. Yeah, you know, don't be surprised people

365
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 1: if you turn on the NFL Sunday and it's a

366
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 1: whole new ballgame anyway. Um, remember to subscribe on Apple,
