Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio.

10
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:36,279
Speaker 1: From Foxborough. The last game played the final game on

11
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 1: a Wildcard Sundays. One game left in the playoffs, but

12
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 1: we'll begin with the Chargers visiting the Commonwealth, a playdate

13
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: with the Patriots, and a trip to the divisional round.

14
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: On line up Mike Tarrico and Chris Collinsworth. Well, tough

15
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 1: night for Collinsworth man, he loves him, Sir Justin Herbert.

16
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: That is a hard one. That is a tough night

17
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: for Collinsworth. Have to watch Justin Herbert go out there

18
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 1: and play in a playoff game. Anyway, that was the

19
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: game is an island game, of course, all these playoff

20
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: games are island games now. And so I don't know

21
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 1: you saw it or not. Maybe you're not watching. We

22
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: watched you not have to the story of this game.

23
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: The New England defense absolutely manhandling the outclassed, pathetic, futile

24
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 1: Charger offense, and Drake May getting a lot of love.

25
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 1: I'm a little confused by that. We'll get to that

26
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,040
Speaker 1: in a minute. He did throw a late touchdown pass,

27
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: although it didn't really matter the outcome of the game.

28
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,680
Speaker 1: He threw the pass to former Charger Hunter Henry, who

29
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,040
Speaker 1: the Patriots signed a couple of years ago and has

30
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 1: just kind of been hanging out there. That was in

31
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. Patriots get the sixteen to three win

32
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: in a weekend of thrilling, riveting, mind blowing games. This

33
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 1: was not that. This was not that on wild Card weekend.

34
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 1: So Andy Boord Gallas, it's always great when you're kicker.

35
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: Andy Boord Gallas is in the lead. He hit not one,

36
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: not two, but three field goals. So the Patriots get

37
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: another win. They had not won a postseason game since

38
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: they won the Super Bowl back in twenty eighteen the

39
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,359
Speaker 1: end of the twenty eighteen season, so they have now

40
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: gotten back into the win come first time since Tom

41
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: Brady and Bill Belichick, where they they'll host the winner

42
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 1: of the Monday Night game between the petspurg Steelers and

43
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans and the divisional round? Will that be

44
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 1: a rematch? The Steelers went to Foxboro in the regular season,

45
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 1: Will that be a rematch? Well, the better story, We'll

46
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: get to that all that stuff in a minute. The

47
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: better story is in the losing locker room. And what

48
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 1: a gag by the Bolts. What an absolute gag, just

49
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,359
Speaker 1: not competitive. Why do you even bother going to the game.

50
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: You're gonna perform like that? Pathetic and they deserve to

51
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: get completely roasted. But in particular the Golden Boy. Oh

52
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: what a fraud this guy is? Huh. So that's a

53
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 1: good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question. Is

54
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: there a word? Is there a we love words? Is

55
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 1: there a word for Justin Herbert's playoff performance for the

56
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 1: Chargers in the Sunday night game in New England? So

57
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 1: I've got my thoughts on this. I've got Shawshank, Redemption,

58
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: Oregon Trail, and yoga stretch, and we'll put them all together.

59
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: We're gonna make spaghetti and meatballs, is what We're going

60
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: to make, some delicious spaghetti and meat pulls. So a

61
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: the word I have to answer the question, is there

62
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: a word for Justin Herbert's playoff performance with the Chargers,

63
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: not of this year, but all his entire career. The

64
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 1: word is be draggled. That is my word. I'm going

65
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 1: with the word be draggled there as in soaked, shaken

66
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: and dragging himself off the field, a loser with the

67
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: capitol l yet again. And what an absolute. I can't curse.

68
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: I'm not allowed to curve. But my god, although sir

69
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: scratch Off can curse, he can call up and curse

70
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: because he's got a potty mouth. That truck drivers a

71
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: scratch how that guy's got a dirty mouth. But anyway,

72
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert, my god, like a dog that lost a

73
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: fight with a lawn sprinkler, totally bedraggled in this game.

74
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: And now we did check. I went to the American

75
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: Kennel Club website, and it turns out that Justin Herbert

76
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 1: is not a He's not a Golden retriever. He's not

77
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 1: that he is not a poodle, according to I looked

78
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: it up here. So he's not a poodle or a bulldog.

79
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert. According to my research, it might be wrong.

80
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 1: The American Kennel Club Justin Herbert. The type of dog

81
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:50,040
Speaker 1: he is is a choking dog, That's what he is.

82
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 1: All bark in September, no bite in January. What a fraud.

83
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 1: What an absolute for the amount of ass kissing that

84
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: he's got from football commentary. Oh, Justin Herbert, Oh man,

85
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 1: he's the bee's knees and all that. My god, my god.

86
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: And so you look at it and like, what an

87
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: absolute message. The Chargers a couple of years ago, they

88
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: blamed Brandon Staley. They said, well, Brandon Staley is not

89
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,719
Speaker 1: a good head coach. Justin Herbert needs a good head coach.

90
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: That's what he needs. That's the problem they need. They

91
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,719
Speaker 1: got to bring in a new head coach. So the

92
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 1: guy rid of Staley, the yoga guy, they fired his ass.

93
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 1: He was gone. Then they hired Jim Harbaugh. All right,

94
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,839
Speaker 1: Jim Harball. They brought him in like he was doctor

95
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: Phil for quarterbacks there and gonna unlock a higher platform

96
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 1: plateau in the career of Justin Herbert. And that's what

97
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: everyone said, We like, Jim Harball, gonna unlock some special

98
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: stuff here for Justin Herbert. And instead Herbert brought the

99
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:03,159
Speaker 1: same pre exist in condition with him. And it's sf

100
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 1: stage fright, stage right, It is wild. He is the

101
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 1: closest comp we have to a football version of Clayton Kershaw.

102
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 1: It's just perfect. It's the perfect comp Does anyone disagree

103
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: with that? Now? I actually got into a heated argument

104
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: with a Charger suck up that I know, a longtime

105
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,479
Speaker 1: Charger lapdog who was making every excuse in the book.

106
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: It's not Herbert fall.

107
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 3: It's not blame this guy, blame that, blame the offensive line,

108
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 3: blame it.

109
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: Oh tries me insane. I'm just not cut that way.

110
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: It tries me bonkers. And it's just like Kershaw's, well,

111
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: it's not his fault, it's this guy's fall attack. And

112
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: then one guy made a play here they would have

113
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 1: won that game, or they blamed the manager for bringing

114
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 1: him out in a game, and never his fault. Never

115
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: for the jock sniffers, the brown nosers, and justin Herbert's

116
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: got the same going. Even you'd think there's really nothing

117
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 1: salvageable about that performance. The guy was just in over

118
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 1: his head, deer in the headlights, the whole thing, hair

119
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 1: brain quarterback play. And yet there are people, Oh no, no, Stu,

120
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 1: his fault, No, no, no, no, no, no no no no

121
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: no no no no no no no no no no.

122
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: But I want to slap these people like god like

123
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 1: and a lot of the QB a positive, but blame

124
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: the offensive line. I just war shree you how to

125
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 1: go to offensive line. I tried to explain to people

126
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: that you know, I know, at some point football will

127
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 1: be flag football and no one will ever get hurt

128
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 1: and'll be here. But until then, it's the war of attrition,

129
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 1: like you're supposed to win with what you have. And

130
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 1: part of the reason you pay a quarterback I don't

131
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: maybe I'm wrong on this two hundred and sixty million

132
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: dollars is to uplift the players on the team. Like

133
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 1: to uplift the player and yeah, you're not gonna be

134
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 1: one hundred. Joe Burrow made the Super Bowl with the Bengals,

135
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: had a terrible offensive line. Aaron Rodgers with the Packers

136
00:07:58,120 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: the year that they the last time the Packers won

137
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 1: and they had the most players on injured reserve. I

138
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: believe in the NFL that year, remember talking about it

139
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 1: right here, and they won. Have I ever seen I

140
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 1: don't think I have. Justin Herbert in the playoffs uplift players,

141
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 1: make them play better enhance the roster. No, and often

142
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 1: he brings the roster down. He's it's kind of like

143
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: on a boat when you've got you're out in the

144
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 1: ocean there and you drop anchor. That's Justin Herbert, right.

145
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 1: So for those of you say, well, it's the offensive

146
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 1: line's fault, Okay, tell me you didn't watch the game

147
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 1: without telling me you didn't pay attention to the game

148
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 1: and watch the game and all that stuff. Herbert was rattled.

149
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 1: He ran into multiple sacks. It wasn't the offensive lives fat.

150
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: He ran into them dazed and confused. That's on him.

151
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 1: And it is still ultimately an execute or evaporate league

152
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,200
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, and for Justin Herbert, I'm apparently a

153
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 1: big fan of Shawshank redemption. And he vanishes like a

154
00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 1: fart in the wind when we get to the playoffs.

155
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 1: That's just Herbert is a big fart, big wet fart

156
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: in the wind, just vanishing air in the playoffs. Two touchdowns,

157
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 1: four interceptions, passer rating below sixty five. Kershaw esque Clayton

158
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 1: Kershaw esq. I guess you don't get a lot for

159
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 1: two hundred and sixty two million dollars A lot of

160
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 1: funny money. They're flying out from the Chargers. And it's

161
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: not so funny right now, is it? No, it's not. No,

162
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 1: And there he was riding the vomit comet at warp

163
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 1: speed Justin Herbert. Another playoff game and covered in maggots

164
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 1: in just terrible. But he's got that nice flowing here.

165
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,559
Speaker 1: It's got that flowing here. In the last ten quarters,

166
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:42,079
Speaker 1: the last ten quarters of postseason play, Justin Herbert has

167
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: completed barely fifty percent of his passes for one touchdown

168
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 1: and four interceptions. He also guided the Chargers during a

169
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 1: historic choke job in Jacksonville, and that playoff game also

170
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 1: been sacked twelve times the last ten quarters. And that's

171
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 1: three different teams, that's two different coaches lost in the plus. Yeah,

172
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 1: he said, well, I give him a break because he's

173
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 1: lost him A Homes and Josh Allen and these great

174
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the plus. No. No, no, he's lost to

175
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence, C. J. Stroud and Drake may not exactly

176
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 1: a murderer's role of franchise quarterbacks there at all, and man,

177
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 1: but at least he's he's well groomed. He's well groomed.

178
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 1: So you've got that going on. My goodness, my goodness,

179
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 1: all right, I want to hear from Herbert's kind of

180
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: a dope. Let's hear what he has to say. Here's

181
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert, mister Holly would all right for Holly? You

182
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 1: think that little actress lady, he's Dayton's gonna dump his

183
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 1: ass now the way he played all right. Here is

184
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert on the fact that the defense, it's all

185
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: about the defense and they did their job.

186
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 4: It's a really touch to loose.

187
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 2: You know.

188
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 4: We give everything we.

189
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 5: Had and you did.

190
00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: It's good. That's all you have.

191
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 4: Wow, I said, gave us every shot that we needed

192
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 4: to and it's not enough.

193
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: That's all you have. You gave everything you have. Really, man,

194
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,679
Speaker 1: you're worse than I thought. You suck dude. Here's more.

195
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 1: Here's Justin Eberda media right away. He's got to be hurt.

196
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 5: He's got to be hurt.

197
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: God, every time he plays bad, it's got to be

198
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 1: an injury. Are you hurt, Justin Herbry, are you hurt?

199
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 4: You know, the training staff did a great job of

200
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 4: getting me ready to go and okay, you know, as

201
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 4: long as they felt safe and comfortable, and I did

202
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 4: as well. You know there was there was no issues.

203
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 1: I just have to do a better joble under the ball.

204
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:37,319
Speaker 1: You think, maybe, how about you don't run into sacks?

205
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,079
Speaker 1: How about? Is that too much to ask? Too much

206
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: to ask? How dare you? Mallord? You're such a hater?

207
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 1: What's wrong with you? All right? Here's more, here's justin

208
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 1: Herbert and the question being asked. I'm sure this will

209
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 1: be asked underhanded, soft line of question, but it's Herbert's

210
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 1: just a terrible playoff quarterback. There's no other way to

211
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:57,679
Speaker 1: say it. And he was asked about that.

212
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,319
Speaker 4: Was your confidence in yourself you will be able to

213
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,199
Speaker 4: get over to some potentially get a playoff run and

214
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 4: make a playoff run. Yeah, I don't know. Hasn't happened.

215
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 4: So we'll have to reevaluate and see what happens.

216
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,719
Speaker 1: Okay, there you go. I like that answer because he's

217
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 1: admitting he has no answer, he has no clue, He's clueless.

218
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 1: All right. Now, continuing the train of thought, so Jim

219
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 1: Harbaugh the only Harbaugh currently employed by an NFL team.

220
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh hinted postgame about firing Greg Roman, the offensive

221
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 1: coordinator at the time for the Chargers Chargers scoring just

222
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:35,959
Speaker 1: three points and embarrassing the franchise yet again. In the

223
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 1: wild card game against the Patriots, he was asked about

224
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 1: the future of Greg Roman. Jim Harbaugh said, quote, I

225
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 1: don't have the answer to that right now. We're gonna

226
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 1: look at that and everything close. Quote Okay, question where

227
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 1: are you at on Jim Harbaugh and that vague answer

228
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 1: on the future of the Chargers offensive coordinator Greg Roman.

229
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 1: So it came across to some as vague. It came

230
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 1: across as like Jim Harbaugh doing the shrug emoji on

231
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 1: Greg Roman. However, having heard this stuff over the years,

232
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 1: that is Jim Harbaugh going into garage and sharpening his machete.

233
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 1: Is what that is. Someone has to be sacrificed, someone

234
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 1: has to go. You must sacrifice someone to the football gods.

235
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 1: That's the way this works. And so you score three

236
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 1: points in a playoff game. The Chargers offense played like

237
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 1: they were on the Oregon Trail, justin Herbert's an Oregon guy.

238
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 1: They played on the Oregon Trail and they died of dysentery,

239
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 1: is what happened there. The wagon broke down and they

240
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 1: just they got dysenteries. Unfortunate. But Greg Roman, he can

241
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 1: go somewhere else. It's again, they just shuffle these guys

242
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,319
Speaker 1: from team to team and they'll get a job somewhere else.

243
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 1: There's eight jobs open head coaching jobs in the NFL,

244
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 1: so he'll get one of those. And firing Greg Roman,

245
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:06,079
Speaker 1: it just looks like and feels like window dressing, Like

246
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:09,440
Speaker 1: justin Herbert, He's not going anywhere. They made that mistake.

247
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 1: They paid a guy that doesn't have it. He doesn't

248
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 1: have the it factor. They paid him a lot of money,

249
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,440
Speaker 1: so they're stuck with that dead weight. He's not going anywhere.

250
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 1: And then you got Jim Harball. He doesn't seem like

251
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 1: he wants to go anywhere. And what happened to Harball

252
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 1: being the quick fixed guy that was always the book

253
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 1: on Harball. You bring Jim Harbrough in right away, you

254
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 1: win with Jim Harbaugh and then he wears out his welcome.

255
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 1: Well not anymore. They got to bring in an exorcist

256
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 1: is what they got to do here. My god, holy crap.

257
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 1: And you look at the charge. You got obviously have

258
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 1: a fall guy. Greg Roman sounds like he's going to

259
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 1: be the fall guy. That's the easy move to make

260
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 1: The names have changed, though. Since Justin Herbert got to

261
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 1: the Chargers, the names have changed. Shane Steichen was there

262
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 1: his rookie Year's Offensive Corn, Mike Lombardi, Kellen Moore. Now

263
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 1: they've had Greg Roman. In the last couple of years.

264
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: The one common denominator has been Justin Herbert, the Duke

265
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 1: of Pughke. When it matters, he's the Duke of Puke.

266
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 1: And if Justin Herbert were an appetizer, he would be

267
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 1: the art of choke because he's mastered the art of

268
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 1: the choke. That's what he does, and so looks great

269
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 1: in the regular season, much like Clayton Kershaw looks great

270
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 1: in the regular season and then in the playoffs. Well, yeah,

271
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 1: we know how, we know how that goes. Not good?

272
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 6: All right?

273
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 1: Now, last word to the New England side. The better

274
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 1: stories in the losing locker room. But we will go

275
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 1: to the winning locker room, the New England side of things.

276
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 6: Here.

277
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 1: The headline all over the place. Headline reads that Drake

278
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 1: may carries Patriots the wild card win over the Chargers,

279
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 1: big bold headline all over the interweb. So the question

280
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 1: with the headline reading Drake may carries Patriots to wild

281
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 1: card win of the Chargers. Is that how this went down?

282
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 1: Is that how this game went down? And so I

283
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 1: don't know who wrote the headline. I'm not sure who

284
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 1: did that, but whoever wrote the headline there already polishing.

285
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 1: The Drake May statue carries the Patriots police with a

286
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 1: capitol P. Come on, this is classic media myth making,

287
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 1: is what This one is the kind of a fairy

288
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 1: tale that you write after a downward dog yoga pose.

289
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 1: You're doing that yoga stretch, you know, you do the

290
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 1: downward dog and you gotta get a little limber. The

291
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 1: reason you get limber is because you have to get

292
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 1: limber to bend the truth is what you have to do.

293
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 1: You have to bend the truth. And this was not

294
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 1: exactly scaling Mount Everest for Drake May. This was the

295
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 1: Bunny The bunny hill on the ski slope is what

296
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 1: this was here. It's not black diamond two black dimons. No,

297
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 1: it was wide. It was very gentle. This game good

298
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 1: soft launch for Drake May. As a playoff quarterback, there

299
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 1: groomed and ready to go. After three quarters the game

300
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 1: was a riveting ninety three through seventy five percent of

301
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 1: the game was nine to three. The Patriots won this

302
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:10,879
Speaker 1: game because of the defense playing whack a mole with

303
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:15,159
Speaker 1: the Chargers. And also that's we just talked about it,

304
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 1: the quarterback, Justin Herbert being completely in over his head

305
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 1: in a playoff game and the charger showed up. Justin Oh,

306
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 1: we left everything out there essentially what he said. The

307
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 1: charger showed up. It's like they had one on their battery.

308
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 1: No charger, and they took a nap. It was easy

309
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:35,479
Speaker 1: street for the Patriots, the paved road, no potholes, and

310
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 1: there you go. And may he he didn't. All he

311
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 1: did was not set the kitchen on fire. Do you

312
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 1: really need the headline carries the Patriots when the quarterback

313
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 1: just didn't set the kitchen on fire, Like, seriously, whoopee

314
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:52,400
Speaker 1: dam do I que the bronze statue and all that stuff.

315
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 1: It's not the hero ball. It was definitely not hero ball.

316
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 1: It was just don't burn the house down. He didn't

317
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:01,679
Speaker 1: burn the house down. Okay, he didn't burn the house down.

318
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:04,159
Speaker 1: Let's give him a statue. Okay, fine, we'll do that.

319
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 1: We'll I'll have all the fanboys call up and lick

320
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:10,360
Speaker 1: the toes of Justin Herbert or Drake May in this case,

321
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,440
Speaker 1: not just the those guys are also calling up to

322
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:16,159
Speaker 1: rip or praise rather Justin, Justin Herbert, both quarterbacks. But

323
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 1: in terms of Drake May, Drake May he had through

324
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 1: three quarters right the seventy five percent of the game,

325
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:27,439
Speaker 1: Drake May had no touchdowns, one interception, couldn't have a touchdown.

326
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 1: Nobody scored a touchdown for the Patriots or the Chargers.

327
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 1: Fumbling around. It was like he had greased his hands

328
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,639
Speaker 1: with butter and he was out there fumbling around and

329
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 1: all that stuff. And so it was survive, advance and

330
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 1: all that. And the defense did the cooking. The defense

331
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:46,920
Speaker 1: did the cooking and all that. And now they play

332
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:50,159
Speaker 1: the they being the Patriots, play the Steelers or the Texans,

333
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:55,160
Speaker 1: and that should be difficult. Although I'm not overly impressed

334
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 1: with the Steelers or the Texans offensively, the Texans with CJ. Stroud,

335
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 1: very impressed at all.

350
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:48,400
Speaker 1: story is? That's right, pet Spargan PA. Underrated city house

351
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:53,160
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh years ago. Beautiful, shockingly nice Pittsburgh, PA. Good skyline.

352
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,919
Speaker 1: I'm a big skyline guy. It's cool because you get

353
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:59,120
Speaker 1: the water wrapped around the downtown and all the bridges.

354
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:01,920
Speaker 1: Solid city. I got people like I'm like friends that

355
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 1: live in Pisball. They love it. They never want to leave.

356
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 1: It's not that expensive compared to some other big cities anyway.

357
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 1: Our lead for the Monday night football game, the last

358
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,959
Speaker 1: stop on wild Card weekend c J. Stroud leading the

359
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 1: Texans traveling party into Western PA for a matchup with

360
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:25,440
Speaker 1: Air Red Rogers and pitt Spurgs. Hears the winner gets

361
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:30,400
Speaker 1: a date with the Patriots in the divisional round. Did

362
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 1: you watch? No, oh you did? Okay, Well, if you didn't,

363
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 1: we watched so you would not have to. Don't worry.

364
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 1: It is our good mitzvah of the day. We've done that.

365
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:46,120
Speaker 1: So Sheldon rankins, who you know, it's it's a weird

366
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 1: night of a defensive guys getting the headline. But Sheldon rankins, well,

367
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:54,680
Speaker 1: you don't follow defense. He returned a fumble, rumbling and

368
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:58,439
Speaker 1: stumbling a fumble by Aaron Rodgers thirty three yards to

369
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 1: pay dirt touchdown early in the fourth quarter to put

370
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 1: the cherry on top of the dominant defensive Sunday performance.

371
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 1: Although it wasn't a Monday and the Texans end up

372
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 1: the final score misleading, it looks like they molly wopped

373
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,399
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers. They did win the game thirty to

374
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 1: six on the wild card rounds, so they have advanced

375
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 1: first ever road win. You always remember your first first

376
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 1: ever road win for the Texans as they get or

377
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:33,679
Speaker 1: done the Texans. Now we'll play, as we mentioned, New

378
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 1: England in the Division A round. That game on Sunday night, Sunday,

379
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 1: Sunday Sunday. Well, I say Sunday night, but it's not

380
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:42,639
Speaker 1: as late as it was last week. It's just a

381
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 1: late game on Sunday, efect. If you're on the West coast,

382
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 1: it'll be like late afternoon on the West coast. But CJ.

383
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:52,879
Speaker 1: Strout he turned the football over not once, not twice,

384
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 1: but three times, and through a first half touchdown pass

385
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:02,120
Speaker 1: as well to Christian Kirk, the journeyman wide receiver there

386
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 1: who had eight catches for one hundred and forty four yards.

387
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 1: It was such a great night. Somebody named Woody Woody Marks,

388
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 1: not sure who that is, but he had one hundred

389
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 1: and twelve yards on the ground for the Texans as

390
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 1: a Houston who had been zero to six on the

391
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:20,159
Speaker 1: postseason run. But they are as a franchise, but they win.

392
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,120
Speaker 1: The better story don't come by a weekend. You think

393
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 1: we're gonna say he gon break down the Texans. No,

394
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 1: the better story is in the losing locker room. So

395
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 1: that is the conversation about the futures of Mike Tomlin

396
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 1: and Aaron Rodgers. And was this it is this all?

397
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:36,920
Speaker 1: She wrote? Oh my god, melancholy, all these people getting

398
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 1: in their fields. Oh I'm so sad. I'm not sad.

399
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 1: I'm not said, of course, I don't have a skin

400
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 1: in the game on this. I am not sad. But

401
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 1: let us discuss So the Let's start with Aaron Rodgers,

402
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:53,120
Speaker 1: because I think that's the story here. Rogers has been

403
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 1: playing at a high level, a Hall of Fame career

404
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:59,120
Speaker 1: for Aaron Rodgers. And plus he's just good for talk

405
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 1: radio because some people love him and other people hate him,

406
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 1: and that's good talk radio. So anyway, Rogers, was this

407
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 1: his final dance in the NFL. Well, he was asked

408
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 1: about that we have the audio. Let's go to the

409
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 1: audio tip. Here's Aaron Rodgers asked about whether or not

410
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 1: this is it your decision for what to do next year?

411
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,399
Speaker 3: In anyway? Oh, I mean, I'm not going to make

412
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 3: any emotional decisions. Disappointed, you know, obviously, such a fun year,

413
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 3: you know, a lot of adversity, but a lot of a.

414
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 1: Lot of fun.

415
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,119
Speaker 3: Been a great year, you know over all my life

416
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,919
Speaker 3: in the last day last year, and this is you know,

417
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 3: a really good part of that, coming here and being

418
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 3: part of this team. So it's disappointing to be sitting

419
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:42,120
Speaker 3: here with season over.

420
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 1: Has anyone ever said, well, we had no adversity. It

421
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 1: was a great year. Wouldn't a great year be no adversity,

422
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:51,200
Speaker 1: wouldn't I mean, can't you say that about every year?

423
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:54,160
Speaker 1: Like the whole adversity word. I'm annoyed by that, can

424
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:55,639
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't have time to get to my

425
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:57,119
Speaker 1: soapbox right now. I be about to do it later. But

426
00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 1: the whole adversity thing, like every season, the adversity is

427
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:06,400
Speaker 1: something didn't go exactly as plan. Nothing ever goes exactly

428
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:09,440
Speaker 1: his plan, nothing ever goes exactly. But so every year

429
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:13,159
Speaker 1: there's adversity, all right. So the key part of that,

430
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:16,360
Speaker 1: I'm not going to make any emotional decisions. Unemotional decisions

431
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:18,680
Speaker 1: fun though, when you make emotional decisions, can't they be fun?

432
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:20,639
Speaker 1: They could be fun? Right, You have a lot of

433
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:23,680
Speaker 1: fun doing emotional decisions. Oh yeah, and then regret them later.

434
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:25,439
Speaker 1: But you can have fun while in the wallmant all right,

435
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 1: So let us discuss the question. Aaron Rodgers says he

436
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:33,119
Speaker 1: will not make any decisions on his future retirement until

437
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:37,879
Speaker 1: he takes some time away. Time away. That must be nice.

438
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 1: Should here's the question? Should Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers retire

439
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,640
Speaker 1: from the NFL? So, my thoughts on this. I have

440
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 1: Indonesia YouTube tutorial and chainsaws, and we will combine all

441
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 1: of these things together and we're gonna make chicken Alfredo

442
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 1: is what we're going to make. Yum yum to my

443
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 1: tum tumb. I have an unpopular opinion on this, and

444
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 1: I wanted to confirm it. So I asked the magic

445
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 1: eight ball. Went in doubt, pull the magic eight ball out.

446
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 1: So I asked the magic gate ball should Aaron Rodgers retire?

447
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,199
Speaker 1: And then I shook the magic eight ball, and the

448
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 1: magic eight ball said to me, reply, hazy, try again.

449
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 1: So I took the magic eate ball and I shook

450
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 1: the magic gate ball again. I said, come on, come on,

451
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,440
Speaker 1: magic eight ball, you make it. You've never steered me wrong.

452
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 1: And the magic gate ball said, don't count on it.

453
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 5: O m G.

454
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:41,120
Speaker 1: Listen, Aaron could absolutely run away into the woods somewhere

455
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 1: and that's it. You could do. Sure, why not? Here's

456
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 1: what he ought to do. He got to run off

457
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 1: to those lush jungles of Indonesia and hang out with

458
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,920
Speaker 1: a bunch of his hippie friends and meditate, and then

459
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 1: come back to Austin, Texas and hang out with Joe Rogan,

460
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 1: smoke a ball, drink some mayahuasca tea joe and talk

461
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 1: about the UFOs and the deep state and all that

462
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:10,120
Speaker 1: and have a fun time and then go out and

463
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:16,119
Speaker 1: find a sucker with a checkbook. And should Rogers? No,

464
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 1: I don't think you should. I know it's an unpopular opinion.

465
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:20,440
Speaker 1: It's like, this is everyone's doing the eulogies for Aaron

466
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 1: Rodgers right now, and he should retire. I say no.

467
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:29,199
Speaker 1: And if you're playing in the NFL and you're enjoying it,

468
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 1: you're having a good time, right And some team's dumb enough,

469
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 1: and there are a lot of dumb people that work

470
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:37,880
Speaker 1: in that business. If someone's dumb enough to pay you,

471
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 1: why not keep the hustle alive? Why not? If he

472
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 1: was worried about his legacy, he never would have gone

473
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,360
Speaker 1: to the Jets. He's already sullied. Whatever he had, whatever

474
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 1: perfect resume Rogers had from Green Bay. He wore the

475
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:54,399
Speaker 1: Jets uniform. That's like dressing as a clown when you

476
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 1: wear the Jets uniform. So he's done that, and he

477
00:26:56,880 --> 00:27:00,360
Speaker 1: was pretty in Pittsburgh. Some of the numbers were good,

478
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 1: A lot of the numbers were not that good, but

479
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:06,199
Speaker 1: keep going. It's a get richer scheme, not a get

480
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 1: rich scheme because Rodgers is already rich. But it's a

481
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 1: get richer scheme for Aaron Rodgers. And he knows the

482
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:18,159
Speaker 1: menu by hard. And let's be honest here. That performance

483
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 1: against the Texans that we saw on the Monday night,

484
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 1: and that was hazardous waist is what that was. It was.

485
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 5: It was terrible.

486
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 1: I mean they were bad for three quarters and then

487
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 1: Rogers like, hold my beer, I'm gonna take this thing

488
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 1: to the next level here, and he showed up to

489
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 1: the boat show. Rogers he got the suck boat and

490
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 1: he rowed that thing to Misery Island. And the great

491
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:42,440
Speaker 1: thing is Rogers was behind the steering wheel. He captained

492
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 1: that thing by himself and sailed straight in to DMZ

493
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 1: dead Man's Zone, dead Man's Zone, and Rogers was behind

494
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 1: the wheel there on the boat. He looked slow, Yes

495
00:27:55,920 --> 00:28:00,359
Speaker 1: he did. Was he plodding along? Absolutely plodding along, no

496
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 1: question about it. Some would say even atomic waste Russias

497
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:08,200
Speaker 1: would fall into that. Nevertheless, this is the same business

498
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 1: that dialed up Philip Rivers in his mid forties while

499
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 1: hunting somewhere in the backwoods of Alabama and said, hey,

500
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 1: how would you like to play quarterback for the Colts.

501
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,720
Speaker 1: So if they're doing that, and you look at some

502
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 1: of the turds that started games this year for the NFL,

503
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 1: somebody named Brady Cook. I'd rather have a line Cook

504
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 1: from Applebee's start than Brady Cook who started for the Jets.

505
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 1: So Brady Cook, Kenny Pickett who can't play, Marcus Mariota

506
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:42,239
Speaker 1: who shouldn't be playing, and it's just an island of

507
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 1: misfit toys in the NFL playing quarterback. So Rogers could

508
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 1: absolutely bamboozle one more season. Why not go out to Vegas?

509
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 1: Tom Brady doesn't know what he's doing. No one wants

510
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 1: to talk about that because it's tamboo, because it's Tom Brady.

511
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 1: But he's terrible at his job. So I can see

512
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 1: Tom Brady sayd oh, we'll sign Aaron Rodgers is a

513
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 1: bridge quarterback. The Raiders are going to draft a quarterback

514
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 1: with a top pick and they'll bring Rogers in for

515
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 1: one year and then he can have a Vegas residency.

516
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 1: Why not? Who says no to that? Or go out

517
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 1: to Arizona. They don't know what they're doing there, great

518
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 1: place to retire Arizona and hang out. It's a retirement

519
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 1: community with goalposts, have a great time. And plus he's

520
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 1: married now wink wigg, Yeah, he's married. I'm surprised I

521
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 1: didn't get any of those cheesy sideline reports about Aaron Rodgers'

522
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 1: wife struggling as he tries to decide whether it's going

523
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 1: to keep playing or not. Yeah, his mystery wife, Brittany.

524
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 1: So I had an epiphany while I was making the

525
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 1: trip in from far far away, and I'm thinking, is

526
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:46,440
Speaker 1: there a chance that Brittany is a tree? Is it

527
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 1: possible that Aaron Rodgers named a tree Brittany, a giant

528
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 1: sequoia tree, and he married the tree name Brittany, and

529
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 1: the tree can't go to Packer games, or in this case,

530
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 1: Steeler games can't go to Malibu because it's a tree.

531
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 1: In order for that to happen, you'd have to kill

532
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 1: Britney the tree and shop Britney the tree down and

533
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 1: take Britney the tree to your home. So right, hey,

534
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 1: prove me wrong, all right now, pastue, So turning the picture,

535
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 1: Let's get to the Mike Tomlin story. Mike Tomlin was

536
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 1: asked about his future, tap danced around that he was

537
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 1: also asked about his message to the fans. His message

538
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 1: to the fans is what Tomlin had to say regarding

539
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 1: these Steelers embarrassment in the game on Monday night.

540
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 6: Again, when you don't get it done, words are cheap.

541
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 6: It's about what you do or you don't do. And

542
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 6: so I appreciate the question. But people talk too much

543
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 6: in our business either, do you don't.

544
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 1: I think we prove on a nightly basis that words

545
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 1: are cheap and we also talk too much. I believe

546
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 1: both those things are factually true. Anyway, the question is

547
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 1: do the Steelers get out of the Mike Tomlin business?

548
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 1: Was this it for Mike Tomlin?

549
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 5: Is that?

550
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 1: All he wrote is that it? So there's a lot

551
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 1: of people right now engagement farming. It's a business you

552
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 1: can make some money in, you know, screaming. Tomlin's out,

553
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 1: This is it. He's done. Fire Tomlin. You know, shop,

554
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 1: go out and shop for the mystery box. It's like

555
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 1: on a game show. Do you want door number one,

556
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:27,720
Speaker 1: door number two, door number three? Every every door has

557
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 1: a clown behind it, So do you want to hire

558
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 1: a clown? Well, come in, it's the it's the circus. Yeah,

559
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 1: So Mike Tomlin, last I checked, is a known commodity.

560
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 1: He's a touchstone in the coaching world. He's been dependable

561
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 1: and reliable. And think of it like this, you have

562
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 1: to have an operation. Mike Tomlin is a surgeon. He's

563
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 1: a surgeon that has study hands. Your other options are

564
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 1: some guy that watched a YouTube tutorial and has a

565
00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 1: rusty scalpel. Are you going to pick the depend surgeon.

566
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 1: Are you going to pick the rusty scalp scalpel guy

567
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 1: that has really good YouTube what are you gonna pick?

568
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 1: So and now some others want to you know, they

569
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:12,480
Speaker 1: want to lie down on the operating table. They're the

570
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 1: ones that say, oh yeah, just cut me open. It's insanity.

571
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 1: And like, listen, I've fired Tomlin multiple times over the years,

572
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 1: but at this point, I'm like looking at the field,

573
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 1: looking at the card. I wouldn't get rid of Tomlin.

574
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 1: That would be insanity, absolutely insanity. He's never had a

575
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 1: losing season. The fact that that team, the way they

576
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 1: played in the Monday night game was able to win

577
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 1: as many games as they did ten wins during the

578
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 1: regular season is a testimonial to good coaching. That's coaching

579
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 1: guys up that roster is not very good, and Tomlin

580
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 1: coached that team up. That's what you're looking for. You

581
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 1: looking for a guy that coaches players up. And Tomlin

582
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 1: appears to be able to do that still. And so

583
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 1: you look at the the years he's been there in

584
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 1: the success of making the playoffs and all that stuff.

585
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 1: That's institutional excellence is what it is here. It's big

586
00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 1: mac level of consistency. Like you go to a beat

587
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 1: a big man in any part of the world, that's

588
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 1: going to taste pretty much the same because that's the

589
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 1: consistency of the Golden Arches. Well, Mike tomlins teams during

590
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 1: the regular season always win nine, ten, eleven games, even

591
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 1: when they have washed up players, they still find a

592
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:17,120
Speaker 1: way to get that done. So, yeah, Doe, the Steelers

593
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 1: want to go out and do coaching roulette. Why would

594
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 1: you want to do that? Why why would you want that?

595
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 1: You don't need to you don't need to spin the

596
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 1: wheel and all that stuff. And you've got a reliable option. Now,

597
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 1: the malarads are not zero that Tomlin's out. The malarods are.

598
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 1: I crunch the numbers here, it's a two fifty. It's

599
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 1: a two, which it's like a two fifty hit twenty

600
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 1: five percent. Two fifty hitter is the is the number

601
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 1: you don't designate for assignment A two fifty hitter, especially

602
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:50,680
Speaker 1: when your farm system is full of scarecrows. You don't

603
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 1: worry about that. And again I go back to the

604
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:55,959
Speaker 1: whole mystery prize thing and all that stuff. It's like

605
00:33:56,520 --> 00:34:01,959
Speaker 1: Tomlin is fifty three in that profession. When you're a coach,

606
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 1: you're not that old. He could go another fifteen years,

607
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:10,239
Speaker 1: another fifteen years as a coach. He's still got the

608
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:13,959
Speaker 1: fire in his belly. And if you're Tomlin, why would

609
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:15,799
Speaker 1: you leave? You can go do TV and replace herb

610
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 1: Street or Tony Romo and make a lot of money

611
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 1: for a couple of years, but eventually you're gonna still

612
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:22,440
Speaker 1: want to come back and coach. The only one that's

613
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:25,440
Speaker 1: really never done that has been Bill Kauer, and he

614
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:28,799
Speaker 1: continues to haunt us on television week after week with

615
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 1: boring TV. But Tomlin think he'd be good. You never know, though.

616
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 1: I always thought Tony Sarah Goosa, the late Tony Sarah Gousu,

617
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 1: would be amazing on television. He sucked, but a nice guy,

618
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 1: just bad on TV.

619
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:40,319
Speaker 6: All right.

620
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 1: Our last thing to the Houston side of things.

621
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 2: Quick?

622
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 1: Why all right to the Houston side of things. So

623
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:47,279
Speaker 1: everyone's all excited now the Texans are going to go

624
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:49,320
Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl because they blew out the Pittsburgh

625
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 1: Steelers in Monday night. Is that how that works?

626
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:51,960
Speaker 8: Well?

627
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:56,879
Speaker 1: Of course not, of course not. I'm not getting worked

628
00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:59,719
Speaker 1: up into a lather by the final score of this game,

629
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 1: because I saw the game. It was seven to six

630
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:07,239
Speaker 1: going to the fourth quarter, so one point game, a

631
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 1: one point game going to the fourth quarter. The Steelers

632
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:17,359
Speaker 1: then imploded and Aaron Rodgers decided he was done there

633
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:19,160
Speaker 1: and that was it. But the bigger issue to me

634
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:21,360
Speaker 1: going forward for the Texans as they get ready for

635
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:25,440
Speaker 1: the Patriots next week, is the quarterback play in Houston.

636
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:30,799
Speaker 1: So the question was CJ. Stroud a liability or an

637
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:34,000
Speaker 1: asset for the Texans considering they won in a blowout.

638
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:36,239
Speaker 1: Most who didn't pay attention would say, well, he was

639
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 1: clearly clearly an asset. He wasn't a liability. What are

640
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:44,319
Speaker 1: you talking about? Well, these scales of football justice, the

641
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 1: scales of football justice tilting towards dead weight, dead weight,

642
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:55,920
Speaker 1: and that was not quarterback greatness, obviously, was it? I mean,

643
00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:58,799
Speaker 1: nobody was saying that he played great. But this was

644
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:04,359
Speaker 1: like walking walking through the ocean, or walking swimming through

645
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 1: the ocean, and you drop an anchor somewhere out in

646
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:11,360
Speaker 1: the middle of the golf there, and you dragged the

647
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:15,560
Speaker 1: yacht down into the bottom. I guess we'll go Galvinston

648
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:18,040
Speaker 1: Bay because you know it's close to Houston whatever. So,

649
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:22,280
Speaker 1: but when your defense is that good and the defense

650
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 1: is getting embellished because of the final score, when your

651
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:27,640
Speaker 1: defense is that good, all you have to do is

652
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:31,240
Speaker 1: drive the bus and don't crash it into the waffle house.

653
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:37,920
Speaker 1: And instead CJ. Stroud's out there juggling chainsauce juggling chainsaws

654
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:42,320
Speaker 1: for much of this game. He had five fumbles. The

655
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:45,080
Speaker 1: Texas won in a blowout, and c. J. Stroud had

656
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:48,799
Speaker 1: five fumbles. He lost two of them, he threw an interception,

657
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 1: He did all of that. He did everything he could

658
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:55,440
Speaker 1: to lose the game. And the Steelers are so bad.

659
00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers said, no, no, no, let us go Chernobyle. So

660
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 1: we'll go Chernoble there, and they did two defensive touchdowns

661
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:07,359
Speaker 1: by the Texans, one of them just a gift by

662
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:10,839
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. And so it was a coin flip going

663
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:13,359
Speaker 1: to the fourth quarter, which should give the Patriots some

664
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:19,440
Speaker 1: optimism going forward. Here CJ. Stroud was a live grenade

665
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:23,719
Speaker 1: in this game. The pin was half pulled on the

666
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:27,200
Speaker 1: live grenade. The Texans defense had to grab it and

667
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:31,200
Speaker 1: throw it out the window before it went cob boom,

668
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 1: and the Texans won in spite of their quarterback. And

669
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:37,719
Speaker 1: I've seen a lot of this with CJ. Stroud in

670
00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:40,360
Speaker 1: the playoffs where he hasn't looked all that good. And

671
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:42,680
Speaker 1: he's another one of these younger quarterbacks that just doesn't

672
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:45,760
Speaker 1: seem to have it in the playoffs, it would appear.

673

678
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:05,880
