I had it actually about sixty nine, but 37 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 1: I had the fire on, eating some rice Krispy treats. 38 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 1: But I like watching football that is just ugly and 39 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: that that was an old school throwback game.

Do it. Now. You know what's funny is 96 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 1: when I watch games and my mom we got family 97 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 1: in town for Thanksgiving, I'm constantly thinking of what my 98 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 1: angle is gonna be, especially these instant reactions, what we're 99 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,160 Speaker 1: going to talk about when it comes to what we 100 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 1: just witnessed on Monday Night Football on Thursday Night Football 101 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,680 Speaker 1: on Sunday Night Football, and when I felt pretty confident, 102 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 1: you know, Jalen was playing pretty shitty. It's like, God, 103 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 1: the Chiefs were up I think seventeen seven. Like Chiefs 104 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:58,840 Speaker 1: do you know who? They reminded me of is like 105 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 1: that stretch in Last Dance, right, like the ninety seven 106 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 1: ninety eight Bulls. They weren't quite as sexy as the 107 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 1: early run in the early nineties. Michael Jordan, Scottie weren't 108 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 1: quite as athletic, but they still had Michael Jordan, just 109 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,360 Speaker 1: like the Chiefs still had Mahomes, they had Phil, they 110 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 1: got Andy, but it was just a little grimier. It 111 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,600 Speaker 1: was just a little tougher, but they were still always 112 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 1: gonna win. You know. The Patriots they kind of morphed 113 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 1: the opposite way, you know, the seven team and that 114 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:32,600 Speaker 1: kind of run with Randy Moss and Wes Welker was 115 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 1: incredible to watch offensively, but they didn't have the same 116 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 1: defenses that they had in one and three and o four, 117 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 1: so it would kind of be like backtracking. Well, this 118 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,760 Speaker 1: Chiefs team, I was like, they're kind of like the 119 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 1: late nineties Bulls. And then somehow Jalen and this is 120 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:52,280 Speaker 1: why and how you become an elite player. Right. It's 121 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 1: what they talk about in baseball with elite pitchers, like 122 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 1: a guy like Pedro Martinez or Roy Halladay or you 123 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 1: know whoever the top pitchers are now, lot of them 124 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 1: go like five innings, so it's hard for me to 125 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,719 Speaker 1: keep track. But when you don't have your A stuff, 126 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,160 Speaker 1: can you still find a way, at least in my 127 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 1: day to go seven innings and give your team a chance. 128 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 1: And tonight you're watching that game. It's ugly. Every first 129 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 1: down is contested. The game was so physical. I mean, 130 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 1: there are a ton of premium players all over the field. 131 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 1: It's awesome. That's why I watch football. I love you 132 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 1: know east of where I live. You know, this is 133 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 1: not usc UCLA. This is not Rams versus Colts in 134 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 1: a dome outdoor. It's cold as shit, it's raining, it's 135 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 1: hard to catch. It's just it's gonna be very, very difficult. 136 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 1: I don't care if you got Jalen Hurts and Patrick 137 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 1: Mahomes or you got de Veto and Zach Wilson. It 138 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 1: was going to be difficult. And then Jalen, who I 139 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 1: thought was playing really really poorly, finds a Way scores 140 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 1: on a rushing touchdown. Then they get the ball. I 141 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 1: think it was off the Travis Kelce fumble. They bust 142 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 1: a big DeAndre Swift, who he's been fantastic for the Eagles. 143 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 1: They hit Deavonte Smith down the sideline, he throws a 144 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 1: beautiful deepoll. That's the thing. When Jalen is off at 145 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 1: any moment, he can have a big run with his legs, 146 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,240 Speaker 1: a big play with his legs, whether it's to gain 147 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 1: a first down or whether it's to score a touchdown. 148 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 1: And he also is an explosive passer. So even if 149 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 1: it's not looking great in the short and intermedia game, 150 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 1: and a lot of times throughout this season it does 151 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 1: not look good. You're like, God, the Jalen that we 152 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 1: saw last year, who's probably gonna win the MVP, it 153 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,199 Speaker 1: just doesn't quite look the same. And then a moment's notice, 154 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 1: bob down the sideline, former Heisman Trophy winner Deavonte Smith, 155 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 1: tush push touchdown. They take the league and they never 156 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 1: relinquish it, and clearly the Chiefs, who aren't really built 157 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,840 Speaker 1: at this time. You get in some of these comeback situations, 158 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,719 Speaker 1: especially in a game like tonight where it's raining. I 159 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,200 Speaker 1: mean that stat they dropped it early in the game 160 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 1: that the Chiefs lead the league in drops, Like, yeah, 161 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 1: it kind of feels like that. And once they said 162 00:08:57,800 --> 00:08:59,439 Speaker 1: that in the first or second quarter, I swear to 163 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:03,439 Speaker 1: God the drops throughout the game after that point. But 164 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,440 Speaker 1: this is a game that I mean, these are easily 165 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:08,199 Speaker 1: two of the best teams in the league. We all 166 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 1: know that coming in, but it basically came down to 167 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 1: who could make a big play in the passing game. 168 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts did and Patrick Mahomes also did, except his 169 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:21,200 Speaker 1: wide receiver dropped it. And right now, the difference between 170 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 1: those two teams and I would say, I think the 171 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 1: Chiefs defense is better. The Eagles offense is clearly more explosive. 172 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 1: And while the Eagles defense is not as complete because 173 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,599 Speaker 1: I don't think their secondary is as good as the 174 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:38,439 Speaker 1: chief secondary, their defensive line is dominant and at any moment, 175 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 1: multiple guys can be all over your ass in the backfield. 176 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 1: But like I said, Jalen Hurts completes the big pass 177 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 1: to Devonte Smith, when Patrick Mahomes did it, his guy 178 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 1: drops it, but he's not throwing it to Tyreek anymore. 179 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:52,559 Speaker 1: Because if that was Tyreek Hill. Now, part of the 180 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,599 Speaker 1: reason they're really good and a much more of a 181 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,479 Speaker 1: complete team is because they made that trade. And McDuffie, 182 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 1: who was all over the place tonight had some big 183 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 1: type plays. They got him because they traded Tyrek Khill, 184 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 1: so you couldn't have them both. But like that used 185 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 1: to be him and he walked into score instead. Now 186 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 1: it's Valdez scantling and he literally hits him in the 187 00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 1: hands and it drops the ground. So listen the Eagles. 188 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,200 Speaker 1: To come in in that environment, to have your quarterback 189 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 1: not playing well, to be losing it felt like the 190 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 1: majority of the game and find a way to win 191 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 1: kind of symbolizes their entire season. They are not showing 192 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,160 Speaker 1: up and it feels like you're just watching their a game. 193 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 1: Yet when the clock hits double zero they have more 194 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 1: points than the other team, You're like, how the hell 195 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,319 Speaker 1: did they just pull that off? And part of it 196 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,199 Speaker 1: is they have a lot of premium players at a 197 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:47,439 Speaker 1: lot of different positions, basically every position that matters, and 198 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,199 Speaker 1: one thing right now the Chiefs clearly lack. Now ultimately 199 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 1: think I think they can overcome it because in the AFC, 200 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 1: with all the quarterback injuries. Who do they really have 201 00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 1: to beat, right, I mean, really, it's the Ravens and 202 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 1: I guess the US. But the Browns are gonna score 203 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 1: on them, no chance, so they hell they can win 204 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,839 Speaker 1: that game like ten to three. I think the Chiefs 205 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,200 Speaker 1: can still win the AFC. But you can see when 206 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 1: they play some of these NFC teams. They don't play 207 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:14,959 Speaker 1: the forty nine ers, but the forty nine ers and 208 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,439 Speaker 1: the Eagles just have a little more firepower than them. 209 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 1: And in these tight games, when you know twenty four 210 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,719 Speaker 1: to twenty five points is gonna determine the outcome, it 211 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:25,840 Speaker 1: can be difficult for the Chiefs to get to that number. 212 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 1: You felt it today now, I understand it was poor 213 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 1: and rain, but beside Kelsey, it's kind of a work 214 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 1: in progress. You know, Andy Reid several times a night, 215 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,319 Speaker 1: the Andy Reid I know in love passes it on 216 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,840 Speaker 1: all downs. But but Jaco's clearly a second best offensive player, 217 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,719 Speaker 1: behind a skill guy behind Travis Kelcey runs it a 218 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 1: lot on first down. I don't blame him, I would do. 219 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:49,960 Speaker 1: You just don't have as much faith in these guys, 220 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:54,200 Speaker 1: which ultimately might not be their downfall in the AFC. 221 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,439 Speaker 1: But I think you watch this team and you know 222 00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 1: god they would have to play. Now, where's the game 223 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,560 Speaker 1: the super Bowl. It's in a dome, so the weather 224 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 1: means nothing, but whether they get home field, which it's 225 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 1: gonna be difficult. The Ravens still have tough games, so 226 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 1: do the Chiefs. Who knows. I would say it's probably 227 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 1: a coin flip between those two teams to get the 228 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,520 Speaker 1: home field advantage. But the games are gonna be outdoors, right, 229 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,320 Speaker 1: whether it's a Kansasay or Baltimore. So it's just gonna 230 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 1: be difficult for these wide receivers to make place. And 231 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 1: just enormous win by the Eagles. Let me say one thing. 232 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 1: Syrianic seems like a good guy, be fun guy to 233 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 1: bullshit talk ball with, have some beers with. And the 234 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,319 Speaker 1: one thing I respect the most about the Eagles, their 235 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,920 Speaker 1: highest paid player, is just a serious cat. Jalen is 236 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 1: not some big, you know, fist pumper shit talker. He's 237 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:47,720 Speaker 1: just very He's like Belichick or Andy. There's no ups 238 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 1: and downs. You never see the emotion, right, We've all 239 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 1: seen that meme over the years of like National Championship, 240 00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,880 Speaker 1: when he's benched, when he throws the game when he touchdown, 241 00:12:56,120 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 1: his reactions are always the same, the douche Sirianni after one. 242 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 1: Anytime there's a PBu, he acts like he was deon 243 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:07,599 Speaker 1: Sanders on the play. It's like, Nick, you're in like 244 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 1: seven layers. You're not calling the offense or the defense. 245 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 1: You just you know, motioning time out a couple times 246 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,560 Speaker 1: a game. Let's tone it down a little bit, buddy. 247 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 1: And then after the game him like running around the 248 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 1: field motioning at the fans. I mean, come on, bro, 249 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 1: Like that's that's douchey behavior. I've supported him before, but 250 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,120 Speaker 1: I thought tonight, you're playing the defending champs. It's a 251 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:35,079 Speaker 1: big boy game. If you want to do it against 252 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 1: the Commanders and the giants in the count, let's just 253 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 1: fucking act like you've been there before. You literally just 254 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 1: wore in the Super Bowl against these guys with a 255 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,880 Speaker 1: late lead. That to me. I want to like the guy, 256 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 1: and I have liked him. I don't know him versonally, 257 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 1: but that's kind of fucking loser behavior. I mean, let's 258 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 1: just call a spade a spade. I don't expect you 259 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,560 Speaker 1: to act like Andy Reid twenty four to seven. Let's 260 00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,959 Speaker 1: just come on, bro, come on, man. You know the Eagles, man, 261 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 1: they're they're pretty I mean they can, like we said, 262 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:03,800 Speaker 1: they can have their c game and find a way 263 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,840 Speaker 1: the thing with the Chiefs. But those drops are real. 264 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:11,680 Speaker 1: I mean balls are going through guys' hands. Uh, Kelsey 265 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,439 Speaker 1: has a drop. To me, he's separate from everyone else. 266 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,080 Speaker 1: He's allowed to have a bad drop. Steph Curry can 267 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:20,200 Speaker 1: miss a three. But some of these other guys, how 268 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,920 Speaker 1: are you gonna depend on Valdez Scantling? And clearly they 269 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,840 Speaker 1: don't have a choice. So that that is a little 270 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:29,400 Speaker 1: concerning at the highest levels when they're gonna play the Ravens, 271 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 1: if they get to the Super Bowl against the Eagles 272 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:34,760 Speaker 1: or the forty nine ers, the margin is just much 273 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 1: smaller for this team, though they are built and overall. 274 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 1: Like I said, you sign me up for a game 275 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 1: in that weather, that intensity. I'll watch that twenty four 276 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:47,000 Speaker 1: to seven, three sixty five. You can have your you know, 277 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:51,600 Speaker 1: multiple quarterbacks throwing for seven hundred yards each five touchdowns, 278 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 1: like you take that seven on seven bs somewhere else. 279 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:56,720 Speaker 1: Throw me back to the nineties and eighties every once 280 00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:58,800 Speaker 1: in a while and give me a game that's just 281 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 1: grimy ugly every penalty. People are freaking out because it 282 00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:08,640 Speaker 1: really matters the Fletcher Cocks penalty. Late listen. I come 283 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 1: from a school like I wish that shit was still 284 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:15,080 Speaker 1: allowed to fly, but it's not anymore. So that is 285 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 1: a penalty. I hate it. I'm sure many people listening 286 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:21,400 Speaker 1: hate it. But these are the rules. I mean, these 287 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,440 Speaker 1: are kind of the rules we play by. I saw. 288 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 1: I think Tom Brady went on Steven A's podcast It's 289 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 1: got to be quite to listen, and he had a 290 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:32,160 Speaker 1: great point. He's like, I don't understand how an offensive 291 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 1: player can be defenseless, Like, isn't it on It's not 292 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:39,640 Speaker 1: on them to defend themselves or defenders to defend themselves 293 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 1: from the offensive players, Like it's on them an offensive 294 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 1: player going over the middle to protect himself. But the 295 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:49,880 Speaker 1: rules like they have changed. Football has changed, and it's 296 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,640 Speaker 1: not just because they think it's cool to do it. 297 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 1: It's all based on litigation CTE concussions Like this is 298 00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 1: all about money. When all else fails in society, whether 299 00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:05,080 Speaker 1: it's sports, whether it's politics, anything business, it goes back 300 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 1: to the money. So these rules have all been dictated 301 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:12,080 Speaker 1: by the lawsuits years ago, not as fun to watch 302 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 1: for as purists, but it is what it is, and 303 00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 1: you gotta be careful around the quarterback especially. People are 304 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:20,760 Speaker 1: like tweeting me, it's the Golden Boy. Yeah, it is 305 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:24,280 Speaker 1: the Golden Boy. It's fucking Patrick Mahomes. Multiple MVPs, multiple 306 00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 1: Super Bowls, Like, this is their new star, this is 307 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:28,920 Speaker 1: the new farm, this is the new Peyton Manning, this 308 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:30,880 Speaker 1: is the new guy that sells for the league. You 309 00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 1: put them on, you get thirty million people on couches, 310 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 1: so yeah, they're gonna protect them. But that flag is 311 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 1: thrown against if it's reversed against Jalen Hurts, if it's 312 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,360 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott, if it's Brock Purdy, if it's Jared Goff, 313 00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 1: like that flag's getting thrown and you know, God, Fletcher 314 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,320 Speaker 1: Cox for an old guy, still pretty powerful. But what 315 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,320 Speaker 1: a game, What a win by the Eagles's that's a 316 00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:52,560 Speaker 1: hard loss for Kansas City. Man, It's one thing to 317 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:54,480 Speaker 1: lose another thing when you have the lead the majority 318 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:56,760 Speaker 1: of the game, you're at home. For them to come 319 00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 1: back like that the way they want it. That lived 320 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 1: up to the hype. I wanted to go around the 321 00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:04,240 Speaker 1: league a little bit, and I thought the way I 322 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:05,920 Speaker 1: would do. This is a little good, bad, and ugly. 323 00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:09,240 Speaker 1: We'll just kind of go through some positives, some bad 324 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,040 Speaker 1: and then the really ugly in the NFL to some 325 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:16,000 Speaker 1: of the stuff that me and Colin at Sunday before 326 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:17,640 Speaker 1: the Sunday night game that we didn't get a chance 327 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:19,879 Speaker 1: to go over obviously the Sunday night game. I mean, 328 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:23,840 Speaker 1: you talk about good, listen when you give up or 329 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:26,119 Speaker 1: excuse me, let let's put it the prefaces say it 330 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:29,280 Speaker 1: by it like this, you score twenty points. If you're 331 00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:31,280 Speaker 1: just an NFL team and you score twenty points, I'm like, 332 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,000 Speaker 1: you know, you lost by a lot. You're like, god, 333 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:36,280 Speaker 1: we gave up forty points, Like we lost forty to twenty. 334 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:38,520 Speaker 1: Like that's an ass kick. If I tell you you 335 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:42,200 Speaker 1: scored twenty points and you lose by fifty, and this 336 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:44,840 Speaker 1: is the National Football League, not college, not the pros, 337 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,719 Speaker 1: you would never believe me, No chance you would ever 338 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:51,879 Speaker 1: believe me. So when the Denver Broncos lost seventy to twenty, 339 00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,639 Speaker 1: it's it's hard to take you seriously, at least for 340 00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,840 Speaker 1: the next month after that. So it wasn't just you know, 341 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,080 Speaker 1: kicking a guy when he's down. It's easy to make 342 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,960 Speaker 1: fun of Brandon Staley. Now, those of us that have 343 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:05,760 Speaker 1: been talking about it for three years are kind of 344 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:07,760 Speaker 1: exhausted by it. It's like, yeah, I'm tired of this topic. 345 00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,159 Speaker 1: Can we move on? Just fire the guy already. I've 346 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,720 Speaker 1: been talking about this since like twenty twenty one. But 347 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:16,879 Speaker 1: when you give up seventy points, seventy points and you 348 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,240 Speaker 1: score twenty so you live by fifty, I just couldn't 349 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,640 Speaker 1: take you seriously. And then they win the game last 350 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:23,560 Speaker 1: night and you look up, you're like, the Denver Broncos 351 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:29,639 Speaker 1: are five and five. They're five and five. You gotta 352 00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:33,040 Speaker 1: give the guys some credit, right. Sean Payton, who I 353 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 1: thought was kind of losing his touch, was into all 354 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:38,639 Speaker 1: this weird shit like making guys now where sunglasses on 355 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:42,360 Speaker 1: the sideline and no sweats or whatever. His rules were, 356 00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,560 Speaker 1: no backwards hats. It was just in the preseason about 357 00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:47,639 Speaker 1: all this weird shit. And then the way the season started, 358 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,240 Speaker 1: and then Advance Joseph was Devens coordinator and now you 359 00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:52,159 Speaker 1: look up, they look pretty. They just look like a 360 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:55,400 Speaker 1: credible NFL team. I wouldn't bet on them necessarily making 361 00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:58,840 Speaker 1: the playoffs, but by any means I would not have 362 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,199 Speaker 1: picked up Hell, I would have the Minnesota Vikings last night. 363 00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 1: If I bet on that game, I would have bet 364 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:04,760 Speaker 1: on the Vikings. Would have felt pretty good about it 365 00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:07,440 Speaker 1: going through. Now, did they get little lucky with the 366 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:09,760 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson kind of pulling a play out of his ass? Yeah, 367 00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:12,000 Speaker 1: but part of Russell Wilson where we're like, where is 368 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:13,960 Speaker 1: that guy? That's what he used to do in Seattle. 369 00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:15,879 Speaker 1: So that play when he throws up to Sutton, like, 370 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,960 Speaker 1: that's a little throwback Russ. Throwback Russ is a guy 371 00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:20,920 Speaker 1: that would make plays. He's like that was kind of lucky, 372 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,399 Speaker 1: but he'd just do it over and over. He's clearly 373 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:25,440 Speaker 1: not as dynamic as he was like in the peak 374 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:28,960 Speaker 1: of his powers, but he is dramatically better than he 375 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:32,640 Speaker 1: was last year. And I would say, you know, definitely 376 00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,440 Speaker 1: much improved from where he was early on in the season. 377 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 1: Like it's kind of working little dink and dunk aspect 378 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:41,119 Speaker 1: to him. They're playing better defense. So Sean Payton the 379 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 1: last several weeks has been really really good. Listen. I 380 00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,680 Speaker 1: like Nick Wright. I think he cares a lot about sports, 381 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 1: watches all the games, which a lot of people in 382 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:54,200 Speaker 1: this business. I definitely don't believe do they just kind 383 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,639 Speaker 1: of throw shit the wall have takes gets him paid whatever. 384 00:19:57,560 --> 00:19:59,640 Speaker 1: But he had a take last week that I saw 385 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:04,360 Speaker 1: come across my timeline where everyone on set, like Chris Broussard, 386 00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:06,679 Speaker 1: I don't think it was Greg, it might have been 387 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 1: Greg Jennings and Kevin Wilde's and all the guys on 388 00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:12,480 Speaker 1: set were just, I mean, their jaw hit the floor. 389 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:17,480 Speaker 1: They were beyond taken back. They were speechless because he 390 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:20,159 Speaker 1: said if you flip flop Baker Mayfield and Brock Purty 391 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:22,800 Speaker 1: that the forty nine ers would basically be even better 392 00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,160 Speaker 1: and they would, you know, could easily win the Super Bowl, 393 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 1: and the Buccaneers would be awful. And my issue with 394 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,440 Speaker 1: that take was in a vacuum, brock Purty is a 395 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:34,880 Speaker 1: much better player in twenty twenty three than Baker Mayfield, 396 00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,480 Speaker 1: and you watch that game against the Bucks, like, the 397 00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:40,840 Speaker 1: Box actually have some pretty good players. Mike Evans still 398 00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 1: pretty good, Devin White still pretty good, Videvea's really good, 399 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 1: Christier Wurst really good. Like they got dudes, they got 400 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:50,760 Speaker 1: some players. They got a ton of players that the Cowboys, 401 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 1: the Eagles, the Niners, the Chiefs would gladly take and 402 00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 1: start immediately. Brock Purty is in a different universe than Baker, 403 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:00,480 Speaker 1: But I'm not gonna spend much time talking about that 404 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,240 Speaker 1: because you all gonna agree with me. Here's the reality 405 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:06,359 Speaker 1: of Rock Party. If we want to argue about him, 406 00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:09,240 Speaker 1: if you start comparing the Mahomes or like Lamar Jackson 407 00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:12,080 Speaker 1: or Tom Brady or Peyton Manning, it's a pointless exercise. 408 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 1: The dude started sixteen or seventeen games in his career. 409 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,359 Speaker 1: But right now, this version of Brock Party is a 410 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:22,440 Speaker 1: really good player, like really good and relative to what 411 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:24,119 Speaker 1: the forty nine ers won a lot of games with 412 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:27,560 Speaker 1: in Jimmy Garoppolo, who was kind of the definition of average. 413 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 1: If he had a good game, he'd be like the 414 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,480 Speaker 1: eleventh best quarterback. When he had a bad game, he'd 415 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 1: be like the eighteenth best quarterback. But he kind of 416 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,800 Speaker 1: lived in that middle ground somewhere between like twelve and seventeen. 417 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 1: And their defense was really good and Kyle was good, 418 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 1: and they could find ways to win, you know, double 419 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:45,840 Speaker 1: digit games and make playoff runs. This guy's a real quarterback. 420 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 1: Now where he ranks, I don't know. The way he's 421 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:50,200 Speaker 1: played the last two weeks. He's played like a top 422 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:54,200 Speaker 1: seven or eight quarterback in the NFL. He's a borderline 423 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,879 Speaker 1: Pro bowler right now in the NFC. Right there's a 424 00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 1: big four in the NFC right now, Jalen Dak, him 425 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 1: and Jared Goff. And I'm talking about not the fake 426 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,239 Speaker 1: Pro Bowl. When guy goes Super Bowl, another guy goes 427 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,240 Speaker 1: plays golf and they all tap out, and all of 428 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:08,960 Speaker 1: a sudden, you look up and it's like Mac Jones 429 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,400 Speaker 1: is in the Pro Bowl. I'm talking the best three 430 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:13,520 Speaker 1: guys in your conference go to the Pro Bowl. He 431 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,240 Speaker 1: has a very good argument for that. And he's gonna 432 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:18,520 Speaker 1: play in some big time games coming up. He's got 433 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,520 Speaker 1: Seattle Thursday night. Everyone in the country's gonna be watching. 434 00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,639 Speaker 1: You're either gonna be not be able to move coma 435 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:26,480 Speaker 1: on your couch if you live on the East Coast, 436 00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:30,240 Speaker 1: or maybe eating dinner right at the dinner table with 437 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:32,600 Speaker 1: the game on the background. Everyone's gonna be watching. You know. 438 00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:36,119 Speaker 1: He plays the following week Philadelphia Eagles. Got news for you, 439 00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:39,320 Speaker 1: A shitload of people are watching that game pretty sure 440 00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:41,320 Speaker 1: the following week. If not the following week, it might 441 00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:44,960 Speaker 1: be in two weeks. He plays the Ravens. So I 442 00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:48,719 Speaker 1: mean he's got Seattle, the Ravens, and the Eagles coming up, 443 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,960 Speaker 1: and obviously Eagles first, then the Ravens. But like, I'm 444 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,159 Speaker 1: not saying he's gonna win the MVP, but he's a 445 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:55,879 Speaker 1: lot better than a lot of people on TV that 446 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,520 Speaker 1: I don't think. Watch every forty nine er game and 447 00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:01,119 Speaker 1: don't blame him, Like there's no point in watching if 448 00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:03,359 Speaker 1: there are other good games on watching Niners Bucks, I 449 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:05,399 Speaker 1: could have told you the outcome before kickoff. There was 450 00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:07,520 Speaker 1: a reason it was a double digit spread. The Niners 451 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:09,560 Speaker 1: are gonna kick their ass, and they did. But if 452 00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:12,600 Speaker 1: you watched him play, he has thrown bombs down the sideline. 453 00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:15,280 Speaker 1: He averaged you know, at one point in time in 454 00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:19,600 Speaker 1: the game, he was averaging almost fifteen yards of pass completion. Like, 455 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 1: this guy pushes the ball down the field. So many 456 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:25,399 Speaker 1: guys in the middle tier, the Derek Carrs, the Alex Smiths, 457 00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,240 Speaker 1: we talk about being like Dink and Dunk guys. He's 458 00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:32,280 Speaker 1: the opposite. He throws the ball down the field. So, like, 459 00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:33,840 Speaker 1: I got news for you, brock Perty's is a good 460 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:37,920 Speaker 1: player right now. This version Rock Party's good. Listen, we 461 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,200 Speaker 1: can talk shit about Dallas all we want. They're a 462 00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:44,760 Speaker 1: weird team, right, They've played some good teams and they 463 00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:46,680 Speaker 1: haven't found a way to win. Right. They played the 464 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:50,480 Speaker 1: forty nine Ers, got destroyed, played the Eagles, lost a 465 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:53,359 Speaker 1: lot of self inflicted wounds. When they play bad teams, 466 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:57,440 Speaker 1: they destroy you. If they could ever figure out a 467 00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:02,720 Speaker 1: way to bring whatever that swag, confidence just mojo like 468 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:05,359 Speaker 1: the Eagles. They can blow you out if they have to, 469 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,400 Speaker 1: but they have no problem playing an ugly ass game 470 00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,359 Speaker 1: and winning hell like the Diners right now, they just 471 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:14,520 Speaker 1: blow you out. They don't really win these ugly games. 472 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:18,920 Speaker 1: No team wins ugly games like the Philadelphia Eagles right now, Dallas, 473 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:21,680 Speaker 1: no team blows you out quite like the Dallas Cowboys. 474 00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:25,879 Speaker 1: They feel like Alabama when they're playing like Chattanooga or Alabama. 475 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:29,800 Speaker 1: When they're playing like Vanderbilt. You're like, what's spread there? 476 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:33,320 Speaker 1: Forty and they cover? That's the Cowboys when they play 477 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:35,879 Speaker 1: crappy teams. What else did we want to hit on? 478 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:39,400 Speaker 1: Gotta give josh Allens Flowers three touchdowns after his offensive 479 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:43,160 Speaker 1: coordinator gets fired. It's always I don't have inside information 480 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:46,760 Speaker 1: there into the dynamics of him and Candorsey he gave 481 00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 1: some quotes saying how much he owes to Kendorse. Ken 482 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:52,480 Speaker 1: obviously was the quarterback coach before day Boll left. Those 483 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:55,879 Speaker 1: situations are always weird, right, It could just be you know, 484 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:59,280 Speaker 1: this is not you know, in the NBA, for example, 485 00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:02,240 Speaker 1: the equivalent of Josh Allen would be like a top 486 00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:06,600 Speaker 1: seven eight player, right, would be a Yiannis, you know, 487 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,719 Speaker 1: a big time player, a max guy, a Kevin Durant. 488 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:12,159 Speaker 1: I know these guys have won championships, but you know 489 00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:14,200 Speaker 1: what I mean, it'd be a guy with a lot 490 00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:18,600 Speaker 1: of pull a Luca whoever you name the superstar. When 491 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,400 Speaker 1: a guy like Ken Dorsey got fired in the middle 492 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:25,720 Speaker 1: of the season, you would say to yourself, well, he 493 00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:29,560 Speaker 1: got him fired. But in football, Sean McDermott, you know, 494 00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:32,639 Speaker 1: in Josh Allen's quote was you know, Sean told me 495 00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:34,919 Speaker 1: his logic and I agreed, and you're like, yeah, it's 496 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:37,920 Speaker 1: very true. The front off. It's a front office and 497 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:43,359 Speaker 1: coaching management style. Right. So it's it's hard to truly know, 498 00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:47,119 Speaker 1: but solid start for Joe Brady. Now it's Bill's Eagles, 499 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:50,800 Speaker 1: pretty big game Sunday, and last but not least, I 500 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,919 Speaker 1: have no problem and I've said this before. I remember 501 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 1: going in twenty fourteen and I watched JJ Watt play live. 502 00:25:57,600 --> 00:25:59,359 Speaker 1: I'm like, that's the best player in the NFL. It 503 00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:01,719 Speaker 1: was Week two. He had just came off Week one 504 00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,240 Speaker 1: against the Redskins, where I think he had like three sacks, 505 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:08,440 Speaker 1: like ten TFLs. One of the assistant coaches told me 506 00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:12,160 Speaker 1: from the Raiders that game that one of like the dudes, 507 00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:15,480 Speaker 1: it was Kyle Shanahan or someone had told him that 508 00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:17,720 Speaker 1: they thought that was the best game they'd ever coached against. 509 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:20,920 Speaker 1: Like seeing a player like that live dominate. And JJ 510 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:24,000 Speaker 1: finished second that year in MVP. Aaron Rodgers won. Now, 511 00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:26,280 Speaker 1: granted Aaron Rodgers that year was like thirty eight and 512 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:29,920 Speaker 1: five touchdown interception. I mean, Aaron Rodgers is a legitimate 513 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 1: MVP candidate, had a fantastic year. Is there a Locke 514 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:35,600 Speaker 1: quarterback that you're like, no doubt about it has to 515 00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 1: win the MVP. Why can't another position win the MVP? 516 00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:42,280 Speaker 1: I think Miles Garrett right now is the best player 517 00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:46,200 Speaker 1: in the NFL. I mean the Browns if they win 518 00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:50,119 Speaker 1: twelve games with the corpse of Deshaun Watson early on 519 00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:54,720 Speaker 1: in the season, PJ. Walker and a rookie quarterback, and 520 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,960 Speaker 1: Miles Garrett has twenty plus sacks, and if you just 521 00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:01,440 Speaker 1: watch them, like you don't need to be some defensive 522 00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:04,240 Speaker 1: guru to he'd be like, what the hell is that. 523 00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,560 Speaker 1: It's like if you watch Shack like ninety six on 524 00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:11,439 Speaker 1: the Orlando Magic, he'd be like, uh, what's going on here? Honestly, 525 00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:14,080 Speaker 1: it's like the clip of Shack in the movie Blue 526 00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:17,720 Speaker 1: Chips when Nick Nolty goes down to the Bayou in 527 00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,320 Speaker 1: New Orleans and he goes it's one of my favorite 528 00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 1: sports movie scenes ever, and he goes into this gym. 529 00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:28,280 Speaker 1: Everyone's soaked in sweat. The gym or the rim is 530 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:31,280 Speaker 1: like wood, and there's a bunch of random dudes and 531 00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:35,200 Speaker 1: Shaq is dunking on guys blocking shots. He looks like 532 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:38,720 Speaker 1: a mutant and you know they get him in he 533 00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,879 Speaker 1: hadn't passed the act or whatever. That's how Miles Garrett 534 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:44,879 Speaker 1: looks in the NFL right now. So to me, he 535 00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:47,160 Speaker 1: obviously he's gonna win the Defensive Player of the Year. 536 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:49,159 Speaker 1: And I think sometimes these voters are like, well, he 537 00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:50,720 Speaker 1: won the defensive Player of the Year. It's like Aaron 538 00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:53,600 Speaker 1: Donald or JJ Watt, Remember Aaron Donald some of years, 539 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:55,600 Speaker 1: be like, that's the best player in the NFL. Just 540 00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:57,800 Speaker 1: give the MVP to Miles Garrett. If none of these 541 00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:00,520 Speaker 1: quarterbacks have thirty five forty touchdowns, even if they do, 542 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:04,320 Speaker 1: like the eye test, even Jalen Jalen won the game 543 00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:06,480 Speaker 1: the night for the Eagles or played a huge part 544 00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:08,920 Speaker 1: in winning the game, He's not an MVP this year. 545 00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:12,040 Speaker 1: He had a better season last year. Now he's a winner. 546 00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,200 Speaker 1: He knows what he's doing. But like, I'd have no 547 00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:19,639 Speaker 1: problem giving it to Miles Garrett. Now let's go the bad. CJ. 548 00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:24,000 Speaker 1: Stroud and Jared Goff are having awesome years, right they're 549 00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:27,000 Speaker 1: just If c J. Stroud gets the Houston Texans to 550 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:30,760 Speaker 1: the playoffs, that's an incredible accomplishment. I mean, I don't 551 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:35,840 Speaker 1: even know how you would describe, football wise what he 552 00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,120 Speaker 1: did because their team isn't that good. Now. They have 553 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:41,080 Speaker 1: clearly a good young coach. They do have some pieces, 554 00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:45,200 Speaker 1: But the Houston Texans, even with a billion injuries in 555 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:48,320 Speaker 1: the AFC quarterbacks should not be able to make the 556 00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:51,520 Speaker 1: playoffs as a wildcard. That should not happen, like the 557 00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:54,960 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers should not lose a wildcard spot to the 558 00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,920 Speaker 1: Houston Texans. But it's on the table right now. He 559 00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:01,560 Speaker 1: threw three picks yesterday Jared Goff as well. Now, both 560 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:05,680 Speaker 1: teams found ways to win, right both teams. The Texans 561 00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,320 Speaker 1: a little less. I mean they had the lead, but 562 00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:11,840 Speaker 1: Kyler was doing some stuff. The Lions pulled that play 563 00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:14,200 Speaker 1: of that game out of their ass, like the life, 564 00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:16,840 Speaker 1: you should not have won that and like Miles Garrett, 565 00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:20,080 Speaker 1: like to me, Miles Garrett, to me, he's like two 566 00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:22,880 Speaker 1: more games away from just like give the guy the MVP. Like, 567 00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:25,280 Speaker 1: I don't see how you'd argue anything else. I think 568 00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:29,560 Speaker 1: Dan Campbell, there was a stat yesterday on the Fox broadcast. 569 00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:33,959 Speaker 1: Once the Lions won that game, They're not twelve to zero. 570 00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:38,920 Speaker 1: They're not, you know, thirteen and two. They're eight and two. 571 00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:44,320 Speaker 1: Eight and two. It's the best record for the franchise 572 00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:50,040 Speaker 1: since nineteen sixty two. That is that's the craziest stat 573 00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:52,720 Speaker 1: I've heard all season. Eight and two is their best 574 00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:56,440 Speaker 1: start since nineteen sixty That sums up the Lions. If 575 00:29:56,520 --> 00:30:00,560 Speaker 1: Dan Campbell, and it's different in pro football in college, 576 00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:03,160 Speaker 1: like if you were ever to go like twelve to 577 00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:07,880 Speaker 1: zero at Oregon State or at Kansas State or at 578 00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:09,680 Speaker 1: some of these schools, you'd be like, it's the best 579 00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:11,719 Speaker 1: coaching job I've ever seen. It's like when Jim Harball 580 00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:14,920 Speaker 1: went eleven and one at Stanford. Like Jim Harball went 581 00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:17,600 Speaker 1: eleven and one at Stanford. One time when I was 582 00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:20,520 Speaker 1: on radio, I used to have Bruce Feldman on. He said, 583 00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:22,400 Speaker 1: in all of his years covering college football, it's the 584 00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:25,560 Speaker 1: most incredible accomplishment he's ever seen getting Stanford that good. 585 00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:27,480 Speaker 1: I mean they had John Elway in the mid eighties, 586 00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:30,040 Speaker 1: they went like six and six. I mean, you don't 587 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:31,960 Speaker 1: go eleven and one at Stanford. And then they just 588 00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:34,120 Speaker 1: kept rattling off with David shots White. People wanted to 589 00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:36,680 Speaker 1: hire him for be an NFL coach. Dan Campbell, you 590 00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,520 Speaker 1: win thirteen games with the Lions, I don't give a 591 00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:41,520 Speaker 1: shit when anyone else does. He's gonna win the Coach 592 00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:46,000 Speaker 1: of the Year. The bad Listen, the Bears were winning 593 00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:48,360 Speaker 1: all games. I'll give the Bears some credit. They're playing 594 00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:50,880 Speaker 1: really hard and they easily could have won that game, 595 00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:55,840 Speaker 1: but they lost. So it's an ugly loss because it 596 00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:58,120 Speaker 1: was gonna be difficult for you to lose, but you 597 00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:00,320 Speaker 1: found a way to lose. And he almost found away 598 00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:03,000 Speaker 1: to lose by a lot more. Luckily it was a 599 00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:05,040 Speaker 1: safety and not a touchdown towards the end of the 600 00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:08,120 Speaker 1: game with justin fields. But ultimately it's a positive. Like, 601 00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:10,720 Speaker 1: if you're the Bears at this point in time, you 602 00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:14,120 Speaker 1: do not want to win these games, it's pointless. But 603 00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:17,720 Speaker 1: the best way to tank in the NFL, which doesn't exist, 604 00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,600 Speaker 1: we talk about all the time. It just it's impossible. 605 00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:24,400 Speaker 1: Everyone's trying is to just give the fans an incredible 606 00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:27,960 Speaker 1: kind of ride and then lose, right, because what is 607 00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:33,640 Speaker 1: the difference of going five and twelve or three and 608 00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:38,280 Speaker 1: three and fourteen, right, maybe a field goal here or 609 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:40,200 Speaker 1: fumble there. You might as well lose those games if 610 00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:43,080 Speaker 1: it means getting a quarterback or just giving yourself more options. 611 00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:48,960 Speaker 1: Let's get to the ugly. I watched the majority. I 612 00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:51,160 Speaker 1: mean basically every snap I was dialed in, I had 613 00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:53,120 Speaker 1: the sound on. I had one of the four boxes, 614 00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:56,440 Speaker 1: but I had the sound on on the Browns Steeler game. 615 00:31:57,040 --> 00:32:01,200 Speaker 1: And that was just good old fashion and AFC North football. 616 00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:05,600 Speaker 1: Dudes getting crushed. Miles Garrett crushing people, TJ. Watt crushing people, 617 00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:08,480 Speaker 1: High Smith crushing people. Love. That's a style of football. 618 00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:12,200 Speaker 1: Was difficult to watch Katy Pickett, Like I wasn't expecting 619 00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:15,960 Speaker 1: much of dtr so when he struggling or not being 620 00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:17,880 Speaker 1: able to move the offense up and down the field, 621 00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:23,040 Speaker 1: No shit, he's, you know, a rookie who I don't 622 00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:28,000 Speaker 1: have high expectations for. But Kenny Pickett went first off 623 00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:30,800 Speaker 1: with the Steelers, and I think any Steeler fan, anyone 624 00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:33,760 Speaker 1: that gambled on the Steelers as I did, and anyone 625 00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:36,800 Speaker 1: in fantasy football that has Warren on their fantasy football team. 626 00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:41,080 Speaker 1: Every time that Tomlin Canada, who's ever in charge of 627 00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:44,080 Speaker 1: the running back coach, takes Jalen Warren out of the 628 00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:49,719 Speaker 1: game for Najee Harris, you want to put your fists 629 00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:51,960 Speaker 1: through a wall. I had a decent amount of money 630 00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:53,320 Speaker 1: on the Steelers, and I felt pretty goo about it, 631 00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:54,920 Speaker 1: especially when they tied at ten ten. I'm like, they're 632 00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:58,520 Speaker 1: gonna win this game, and they kept rotating their backs, 633 00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:02,080 Speaker 1: like stop putting Najie Harris. Jalen Warren. This guy looks 634 00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:04,440 Speaker 1: like a star against one of the best defenses we've 635 00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:07,200 Speaker 1: seen in recent memory. He's running all around and they 636 00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:09,160 Speaker 1: kept yanking him in out of the game, and every 637 00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:11,600 Speaker 1: time he was in the game. He'd have a fifteen 638 00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:14,160 Speaker 1: yard screen pass, he'd bust a fucking nine yard run 639 00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:16,280 Speaker 1: and then you look up he's coming off the field. 640 00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:18,400 Speaker 1: I'm all for a guy getting a breather, but it 641 00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:20,920 Speaker 1: was not your normal breather. It was like, oh, rotating, 642 00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:27,360 Speaker 1: Stop rotating. Your quarterback stinks. Kenny Pickett was awful. I 643 00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:30,719 Speaker 1: mean was really bad. It looked a lot of times. 644 00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:34,880 Speaker 1: It's one thing to mispasses, which he did. It's another thing. 645 00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:38,040 Speaker 1: It's like part of Kenny Pickett is has to be 646 00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:41,400 Speaker 1: I gotta win with my mind. It was Mac Jones's thing. 647 00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:44,360 Speaker 1: You can't make bad decisions. You have to know be 648 00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:46,800 Speaker 1: on the same page with your wide receivers. You have 649 00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:50,280 Speaker 1: to master your playbook. And there were countless times where 650 00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:51,880 Speaker 1: he throw the ball and no one would be there. 651 00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:53,960 Speaker 1: It was like him and the wide receiver are not 652 00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:57,680 Speaker 1: on the same page. It's like, this is if I'm Tomlin, 653 00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:00,920 Speaker 1: whether it's Canada, whether it's Picket, whether it's this is 654 00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:04,400 Speaker 1: a disaster. Now. Ultimately, I've seen a lot of people 655 00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:07,920 Speaker 1: dragging this guy like he's Zack Wilson. I think he's 656 00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:11,560 Speaker 1: better than Zack Wilson. He's also playing easily the best 657 00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:13,440 Speaker 1: defense in the league, so it was gonna be difficult. 658 00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:17,840 Speaker 1: He looked worse though than I imagined. Embarrassing performance. Now, 659 00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:19,760 Speaker 1: what are you gonna do? Bench him from Mitch Trubisky. 660 00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:22,239 Speaker 1: You don't really have any other options. But that's a 661 00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:25,359 Speaker 1: rough one because you drafted this guy in the first round. 662 00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:27,239 Speaker 1: It's one thing if Canny Pickett was like, hey, we 663 00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:29,040 Speaker 1: just found this guy in the fourth round. We'll figure 664 00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:31,480 Speaker 1: it out. You drafted this guy with this twentieth overall pick. 665 00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:33,600 Speaker 1: You drafted this guy to be, let's face it, your 666 00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:38,040 Speaker 1: franchise quarterback news slash. He's not, obviously the guy who's 667 00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:40,920 Speaker 1: not the franchise. Zach Wilson is awful. He really is. 668 00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:45,440 Speaker 1: He's a pitiful player. He's really really bad. And sometimes 669 00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:48,440 Speaker 1: I say this all the time. I think sometimes it's like, 670 00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:51,759 Speaker 1: you're just talking shit about NFL players. I try. I 671 00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:54,080 Speaker 1: have nothing but respect. It is so hard to make 672 00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:56,239 Speaker 1: it to the NFL. It's not hard to become an 673 00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:59,920 Speaker 1: NFL assistant coach. It is. It's much more difficult to 674 00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:03,120 Speaker 1: make an NFL roster to play special teams for a year, 675 00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:05,960 Speaker 1: let alone to get drafted high and become a starting quarterback. 676 00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:07,840 Speaker 1: But then you got to play and like, are you 677 00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:10,800 Speaker 1: good enough? And I've seen countless players say this, and 678 00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:13,840 Speaker 1: they're so right that if he played any other position, right, 679 00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:15,840 Speaker 1: if he was a guard, if he was a linebacker, 680 00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:19,120 Speaker 1: if he was a kicker, whatever, he would never play. 681 00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:22,160 Speaker 1: But because of where he was drafted and the position 682 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:25,719 Speaker 1: he plays, he has gotten probably more chances for a 683 00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:29,120 Speaker 1: team that has a lot of talent than the overwhelming 684 00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:32,000 Speaker 1: majority of players in the NFL, including a lot of quarterbacks, 685 00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:37,040 Speaker 1: would have gotten. But it's become an embarrassment now they 686 00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:40,920 Speaker 1: benched him. I would say he's played his last snap 687 00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:43,719 Speaker 1: for the Jets, but I thought that last year after 688 00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:47,279 Speaker 1: he blamed like everyone else except himself and then all 689 00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:49,799 Speaker 1: the other quarterbacks got injured. I mean, they can play 690 00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:53,439 Speaker 1: Tim Boyle, they can play Vinnie Testaverdi, they can play 691 00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:59,719 Speaker 1: what's his name from Marshall Pennington. It doesn't matter. Those 692 00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:02,320 Speaker 1: guys are gonna get hurt. This offen. I would imagine 693 00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:04,759 Speaker 1: we see Zach Wilson again. I think in a perfect world. 694 00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:08,200 Speaker 1: And here's the problem, Like they don't have the balls 695 00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:11,360 Speaker 1: to do this because he's their guy, right, And this 696 00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:14,440 Speaker 1: is I never understand this in football people often say, 697 00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:16,800 Speaker 1: like you just said a couple of weeks ago you 698 00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:18,960 Speaker 1: like this player, Well, yeah, then I've watched the last 699 00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:21,040 Speaker 1: month and he's not any good. Or you thought this 700 00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:22,920 Speaker 1: team was gonna be good. I did, and then they're not. 701 00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:25,400 Speaker 1: So you got to change your opinions. Right. If you 702 00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:28,160 Speaker 1: buy a stock for one hundred dollars and you really 703 00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:29,800 Speaker 1: like it and it goes to one hundred and fifty, 704 00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:31,880 Speaker 1: you're gonna ride that bad boy. If you buy the 705 00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:33,520 Speaker 1: stock for one hundred dollars and you really like it, 706 00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:35,279 Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, six months later you look 707 00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:37,360 Speaker 1: at it is twenty dollars, you're probably not gonna be 708 00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:40,520 Speaker 1: as high on the company. So you're watching Zach Wilson like, 709 00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:43,719 Speaker 1: just cut the guy, just cut him, just remove him. 710 00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:46,680 Speaker 1: You've already paid him. No one else is gonna take him. 711 00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:50,319 Speaker 1: He'll never have an ounce of trade value. Like there's 712 00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:52,680 Speaker 1: no team, the Eagles, the Chiefs, you name it wouldn't 713 00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:55,120 Speaker 1: trade him to be their four string quarterback for a 714 00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:58,080 Speaker 1: bag of footballs and a cheese steak. No one will 715 00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:02,000 Speaker 1: touch him. He has cost you so many games. I 716 00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:05,080 Speaker 1: mean that was It's gotten uglier these last couple weeks. 717 00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:10,360 Speaker 1: It's really gotten uglier. Guy just runs into sacks. Washington. 718 00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:14,439 Speaker 1: Division games are weird. I love the Bears last week. 719 00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:17,080 Speaker 1: It's like they're getting eight and a half points whatever 720 00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:19,840 Speaker 1: against the Lion. Division games get weird. It's why like 721 00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:22,040 Speaker 1: if the Cardinals played the Niners this week, I'd be 722 00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:25,000 Speaker 1: like that ten points is too much, but you would 723 00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:27,560 Speaker 1: just seattle, like Seattle, that game is gonna be tight. 724 00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:31,880 Speaker 1: On Thursday night, Hell Cowboys Commanders, I look because it's like, oh, 725 00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:34,120 Speaker 1: the Cowboy's gonna blow another team out. Well, division games, 726 00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:36,239 Speaker 1: I could see it being a close game in the 727 00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:38,320 Speaker 1: second half. Now, I like the Cowboys to win, but 728 00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:43,240 Speaker 1: division games get weird. But to get worked by the Giants, 729 00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:47,279 Speaker 1: to get destroyed by the Giants who felt a lot 730 00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:49,680 Speaker 1: like the Bears and the Panthers, like their season was over, 731 00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:53,400 Speaker 1: and then you're look it up because I thought, I 732 00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:55,080 Speaker 1: was like, you know what, I'm not gonna watch much 733 00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:57,600 Speaker 1: of the Cowboy Panther game. It's pointless. They're gonna kill him. 734 00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:00,840 Speaker 1: And at first I did not have the Giant Commander 735 00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:02,920 Speaker 1: game on, and then all of a sudden I kind 736 00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:04,440 Speaker 1: of checked the score and I threw that bad boy 737 00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:07,759 Speaker 1: on the giants kicked their ass, I mean worked them. 738 00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:10,759 Speaker 1: And I've seen several people I think Michael Lombardi put 739 00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:13,880 Speaker 1: this out there. I've met Ron a couple of times. 740 00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:16,960 Speaker 1: He's a Northern California guy, went to cal I've always 741 00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:19,360 Speaker 1: rooted for him. When I met him, he couldn't have 742 00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:22,719 Speaker 1: been any nicer, high character guy. People really really like him. 743 00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:26,359 Speaker 1: Old school football guy. Not a very good coach. He's 744 00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:29,920 Speaker 1: got three winning seasons in thirteen years. You know again, 745 00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:33,000 Speaker 1: good guy doesn't win a lot, doesn't win a lot, 746 00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:37,560 Speaker 1: doesn't win a lot at all. It's pretty DUTs right 747 00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:40,560 Speaker 1: because a couple of his playoff appearances have been when 748 00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:43,120 Speaker 1: his team has been under five hundred, So it's like 749 00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:46,520 Speaker 1: it kind of counts, but it kind of shouldn't. I 750 00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:49,400 Speaker 1: think it's fair to say that riverboat Ron, or some 751 00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:51,440 Speaker 1: people I think are calling him because he's no longer 752 00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:54,920 Speaker 1: as aggressive with some of his play calling on fourth downs. 753 00:38:55,200 --> 00:39:00,319 Speaker 1: Paddleboard Ron is coming down the home stretch here before 754 00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:04,360 Speaker 1: we get out of here. I wanted to Morgan and Morgan. 755 00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:07,160 Speaker 1: I wanted to give a little shot out here to 756 00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:11,600 Speaker 1: a player that made it look easy. I'm a mob guy. 757 00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:15,279 Speaker 1: I love mob shows. You give me. Netflix is just 758 00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:20,320 Speaker 1: pumping me Gotti shows. I watched The Sopranos multiple times 759 00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:23,040 Speaker 1: after I didn't watch it live when I was young. 760 00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:26,040 Speaker 1: I've watched it multiple times since. Tony is my favorite 761 00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:28,719 Speaker 1: character of all time. I've always was fascinated when I 762 00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:32,640 Speaker 1: lived in Philadelphia about mob ties, about bodies getting tossed here. 763 00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:36,120 Speaker 1: I just love everything about it. Fascinating. You give me 764 00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:39,640 Speaker 1: a mob movie, I'm watching it. When they showed a 765 00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:43,040 Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago the da Vido family from Jersey, 766 00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:46,680 Speaker 1: like that, that is awesome. That is cool. Now I'm 767 00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:49,279 Speaker 1: not saying he's in the mob, but it kind of 768 00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:51,680 Speaker 1: feels like that. I want him to be. Hopefully they 769 00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:54,359 Speaker 1: have some ties. But then everyone's making fun of him 770 00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:57,879 Speaker 1: because ultimately his kid, the family's there watching him. It's 771 00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:01,360 Speaker 1: just god awful. You're like, this is really who. I 772 00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:03,800 Speaker 1: don't know what their choices were, right, Daniel Jones, Tarors 773 00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:07,360 Speaker 1: acl Tyrod Taylor's got who knows what injury. He's been 774 00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:09,520 Speaker 1: out forever, so you got you don't have choice, like 775 00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:12,640 Speaker 1: most third string quarterbacks ain't exactly you know Eli or 776 00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:16,040 Speaker 1: Joe Montana here, but to look up yesterday and see 777 00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:18,920 Speaker 1: Tommy DeVito. Now, I get some guys were open. Not 778 00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:21,279 Speaker 1: sure Washington knew what they were doing on defense. Go 779 00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:24,319 Speaker 1: eighteen to twenty six for three touchdowns. I don't care 780 00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:27,080 Speaker 1: if he never throws another touchdown in his life in 781 00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:30,919 Speaker 1: the NFL. I picture you know that some of those 782 00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:36,600 Speaker 1: soprano episodes when like Tony's riding with Chris, it's like 783 00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:42,080 Speaker 1: Tony's the dad, Tommy is Chrissy and them just cruising 784 00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:45,840 Speaker 1: telling stories about the time that he played in the NFL. 785 00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:48,000 Speaker 1: I don't feel like this guy's gonna play in the 786 00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:51,600 Speaker 1: NFL for long, but I have been wrong before that 787 00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:54,040 Speaker 1: that feels like a story that they're gonna be sharing 788 00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:58,439 Speaker 1: with all their buddies in Jersey and just for a long, 789 00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:01,640 Speaker 1: long time. Three touchdown in a divisional game for the 790 00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:05,120 Speaker 1: New York Giants when you're from Jersey, Like, how does 791 00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:07,840 Speaker 1: it get any cooler than that? So my Morgan and 792 00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:10,200 Speaker 1: Morgan player that made it look easy has to go 793 00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:13,800 Speaker 1: to my main man, Tommy DeVito.

I'm all forgetting aggressive. 814 00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:30,520 Speaker 1: I love a good bet. Did not have a great 815 00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:34,239 Speaker 1: night Saturday night, which slowed me down into Sunday. Loved 816 00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:37,960 Speaker 1: Oregon State. Obviously they did not come through, but ten 817 00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:41,560 Speaker 1: thousand dollars on Brandon Saley. How the fuck could you 818 00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:45,399 Speaker 1: do that? How could you feel comfortable? Because here's the thing. 819 00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:47,600 Speaker 1: The thing with the Chargers, and they lose a ton 820 00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:49,759 Speaker 1: of these one score games, they also tend to win 821 00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:52,360 Speaker 1: some of them. I just would never feel very comfortable 822 00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:56,880 Speaker 1: putting a dollar, let alone ten K, one hundred k, whatever, 823 00:42:57,480 --> 00:43:00,560 Speaker 1: even the biggest of locks, like under no circuit instances, 824 00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:05,120 Speaker 1: should the Chargers lose to the Packers, especially when Aaron 825 00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:08,080 Speaker 1: Jones in the middle of the game, arguably their best 826 00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:10,960 Speaker 1: player is carried off the field and looks like he's 827 00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:14,200 Speaker 1: in tears. But when you play the Brandon Staley defense 828 00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:16,480 Speaker 1: and he can bitch and moan all he wants, stop 829 00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:19,320 Speaker 1: asking me. No, Brandon, We're gonna continue to ask you, 830 00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:22,759 Speaker 1: because when you call defenses, they get first downs, you 831 00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:26,360 Speaker 1: blow coverages, and they score touchdowns. Whether you play the Packers, 832 00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:29,600 Speaker 1: whether you play Chaparral High School, or whether you fucking 833 00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:32,759 Speaker 1: play Texas Tech, they would get first downs and they 834 00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:36,320 Speaker 1: would get touchdowns on your blown coverages. So the questions 835 00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:37,959 Speaker 1: are gonna no one's gonna ask like, are you gonna 836 00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:41,840 Speaker 1: bench Justin Herbert is Keenan Allen. What else are we 837 00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:44,719 Speaker 1: supposed to ask? There is only one question when it 838 00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:48,360 Speaker 1: comes to the Chargers. What is your deal? Bro? What 839 00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:51,480 Speaker 1: is going on? It's crazy. I have nothing personal against 840 00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:54,319 Speaker 1: this guy. I spotted him as a fraud three years ago. 841 00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:56,800 Speaker 1: I had buddies that worked with him when he was 842 00:43:56,840 --> 00:43:58,880 Speaker 1: a young assistant in Chicago. And the one thing I 843 00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:01,720 Speaker 1: was consistently told, it's not like this guy had bounced 844 00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:06,319 Speaker 1: around Alabama, Ohio, State, USC, Oregon. This guy came from 845 00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:10,560 Speaker 1: John Carroll, a small school, had never worked in Power five, 846 00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:13,200 Speaker 1: let alone the NFL. And I was told this, Well, 847 00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:14,840 Speaker 1: the moment he got to the NFL was a know 848 00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:18,120 Speaker 1: it all, acted like he knew everything. And I think 849 00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:20,920 Speaker 1: when you watch him all I'd say all these years later, 850 00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:22,840 Speaker 1: but the guy hasn't even been in the NFL a 851 00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:25,839 Speaker 1: decade and he carries himself like you can be a dick. 852 00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:28,239 Speaker 1: Part of being a football coach sometimes you have to 853 00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:30,360 Speaker 1: be an a hole. But when you're gonna act like 854 00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:32,840 Speaker 1: that at press conferences, you better have some pelts on 855 00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:35,279 Speaker 1: the wall. You better be Bill Parcells, you know, you 856 00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:38,760 Speaker 1: better be Belichick. You better be Tomlin or Pete Carroll, 857 00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:41,480 Speaker 1: Andy Reid could snap if he wants to, you're not 858 00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:44,040 Speaker 1: allowed to. And I hope the media and the big 859 00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:47,160 Speaker 1: j's they come with a fucking fury on a daily 860 00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:50,719 Speaker 1: basis every press conference you have. I hope all of 861 00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:54,799 Speaker 1: the big ja's constantly and never stop asking the only 862 00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:57,560 Speaker 1: question I want to know as a consumer, as a fan, 863 00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:00,000 Speaker 1: and you should two as someone that bet ten thousand dollars? 864 00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:03,319 Speaker 1: Will you still call defensive place? Are you still going 865 00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:06,240 Speaker 1: to be the defensive coordinator? I'm keeping my fingers across 866 00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:10,600 Speaker 1: that every question moving forward with the Chargers until this 867 00:45:10,719 --> 00:45:12,760 Speaker 1: guy is relieved of his duties. I don't root against 868 00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:15,640 Speaker 1: a guy losing his job, even though this guy, to me, 869 00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:18,120 Speaker 1: there's a difference of like hardworking people losing their job, 870 00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:20,920 Speaker 1: hardworking coaches losing their job. I do feel for that 871 00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:23,440 Speaker 1: that there's a difference of a guy who I view 872 00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:27,320 Speaker 1: as a scam artist in that position, who's costing hardworking 873 00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:31,560 Speaker 1: people like coach Jay's money getting up there and belittally 874 00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:35,320 Speaker 1: the fellow writer for the Los Angeles Times or the 875 00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:39,359 Speaker 1: Orange County Register who is asking a question. We're all thinking, well, 876 00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:41,239 Speaker 1: if you're not gonna get fired, and the Spano says 877 00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:44,239 Speaker 1: can't even fathom paying you to go away. Are you 878 00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:48,000 Speaker 1: still gonna call defensive place? Oh my god, I'm gonna 879 00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:50,919 Speaker 1: keep it. Stop asking me. No, Brandon, we are gonna 880 00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:53,640 Speaker 1: keep asking you that question because we watch your defense, 881 00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:57,319 Speaker 1: and every week we watch your defense and the same 882 00:45:57,360 --> 00:45:59,200 Speaker 1: thing happens. And it'd be one thing if you were 883 00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:02,480 Speaker 1: just some random You have a top five quarterback, and 884 00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:05,960 Speaker 1: we view you as sinking the ship. You didn't run 885 00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:09,800 Speaker 1: into an iceberg. There's not some other external variables. It's you. 886 00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:14,600 Speaker 1: So I hope that all the big Jays in Southern 887 00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:19,920 Speaker 1: California hammer continue to hammer it. Will you be the 888 00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:23,120 Speaker 1: defensive coordinator? I can't get enough of it. You talk 889 00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:26,000 Speaker 1: about Saley needing to go, and I agree, But what 890 00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:30,040 Speaker 1: about Teleasco. He's been there for eleven years and has 891 00:46:30,239 --> 00:46:33,319 Speaker 1: nothing to show for it. Herbert fell into his lap. 892 00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:37,120 Speaker 1: He absolutely whiffed on the twenty two draft or free 893 00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:41,600 Speaker 1: agency class agreed, and last year draft he chooses Johnson 894 00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:46,120 Speaker 1: over Jordan Addison and Zay Flowers. I'm assuming you watched 895 00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:48,560 Speaker 1: the game. Oh I did. I watch all the Charger games, 896 00:46:49,239 --> 00:46:51,319 Speaker 1: but I've watched the Charger game for twenty plus years. 897 00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:54,040 Speaker 1: I like the brand. I like their quarterbacks. I was 898 00:46:54,080 --> 00:46:56,279 Speaker 1: always a Philip Rivers guy. I'm a Justin Herbert guy. 899 00:46:56,760 --> 00:46:58,200 Speaker 1: You know, it's weird that they don't have a big 900 00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:01,560 Speaker 1: local following. They're always a national brand. Why they have 901 00:47:01,640 --> 00:47:04,440 Speaker 1: star quarterbacks. They have star quarterback. You get a star quarterback, 902 00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:06,759 Speaker 1: people pay attention. You don't need to be the forty 903 00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:09,040 Speaker 1: nine ers, the Dallas Cowboys or the New York Giants. 904 00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:12,080 Speaker 1: You give me a star quarterback, we pay attention to you. Right, 905 00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:15,160 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay's irrelevant. Put Tom Brady on it. We're all 906 00:47:15,200 --> 00:47:17,080 Speaker 1: talking about it. We're putting you on primetime games. That's 907 00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:20,560 Speaker 1: the way the NFL works. Yeah, I would say te 908 00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:22,920 Speaker 1: LESCo would be in trouble. I heard someone say this, 909 00:47:23,160 --> 00:47:26,160 Speaker 1: and they're right. You don't get four coaches, right, You 910 00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:28,359 Speaker 1: just don't get four coaches. You got McCoy, he got 911 00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:34,479 Speaker 1: Anthony Lynn, he got brand Staley. You don't get a fourth. 912 00:47:34,520 --> 00:47:36,640 Speaker 1: That's not the way it work. Usually the rule of 913 00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:39,960 Speaker 1: thumb is you get two, right, but you don't get four. Now, 914 00:47:40,040 --> 00:47:42,319 Speaker 1: the Spanos, the family, the whole thing's a little weird. 915 00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:45,800 Speaker 1: But I've always defended Tom Telesco. I don't know him personally, 916 00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:47,920 Speaker 1: but I think he's for the most part, done a 917 00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:50,920 Speaker 1: pretty good job. But I'm with you, like it's weird. 918 00:47:51,520 --> 00:47:55,279 Speaker 1: You get credit I think for like mid round picks, right, 919 00:47:55,360 --> 00:47:57,920 Speaker 1: you get Richard Truman in the fifth, you get credit 920 00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:00,080 Speaker 1: for that. You get George Kittle in the fifth, you 921 00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:03,560 Speaker 1: get credit for that. You get Travis Kelcey in the 922 00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:07,520 Speaker 1: third when you draft Justin Herbert at six and everyone, 923 00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:11,759 Speaker 1: and listen, Tom's got a little I mean this in 924 00:48:11,840 --> 00:48:14,680 Speaker 1: a nice way, because he's friends like cowards the god leaves, 925 00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:16,960 Speaker 1: but he's got like it, does he really like these 926 00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:19,040 Speaker 1: guys or he's kind of know that he needs them 927 00:48:19,120 --> 00:48:21,640 Speaker 1: to have his back, Like that's I'm always torn Like 928 00:48:21,719 --> 00:48:24,920 Speaker 1: some people in those spots, like Andy Reid or Belichick. 929 00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:28,000 Speaker 1: You do it so long, you develop friendships. Then there 930 00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:29,960 Speaker 1: are some guys that know there are certain people you 931 00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:32,120 Speaker 1: got a cozy up to because you're gonna need him 932 00:48:32,160 --> 00:48:35,040 Speaker 1: during the downtimes. Some gms don't give a shit about 933 00:48:35,080 --> 00:48:37,640 Speaker 1: that at all. They're not looking to make friends. That 934 00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:41,320 Speaker 1: ain't their deal. And when I look at him, I go, 935 00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:44,399 Speaker 1: I don't know him personally, and like I said, I've 936 00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:48,040 Speaker 1: always supported him. But and listen, the brands stay pick 937 00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:52,440 Speaker 1: might not have been his choice, but you make moves 938 00:48:52,600 --> 00:48:54,960 Speaker 1: like the wide receiver move. I mean, the dude dropped 939 00:48:54,960 --> 00:48:57,240 Speaker 1: it that would have got them, you know, in position 940 00:48:57,760 --> 00:49:01,120 Speaker 1: right to kick a field goal. But Jay Flowers is 941 00:49:01,160 --> 00:49:04,840 Speaker 1: really good, really good. Jordan Addison I watched him cook 942 00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:07,520 Speaker 1: the forty nine ers, but those two guys are better 943 00:49:08,120 --> 00:49:10,319 Speaker 1: than the dude the Chargers took. So yeah, I would 944 00:49:10,360 --> 00:49:13,839 Speaker 1: say he's gone. I would say he's for sure gone. 945 00:49:14,200 --> 00:49:16,360 Speaker 1: If they fire Brand Staley and this thing with the Chargers, 946 00:49:16,719 --> 00:49:20,239 Speaker 1: you never know they are. I truly believe this. I'm 947 00:49:20,280 --> 00:49:24,640 Speaker 1: not just being funny or whatever. It's a disease when 948 00:49:24,719 --> 00:49:27,879 Speaker 1: you're super cheap and you have that level of wealth. 949 00:49:28,560 --> 00:49:30,960 Speaker 1: I always support people that are cheap, that are frugal. 950 00:49:32,080 --> 00:49:34,680 Speaker 1: If you don't have that much money. Hell, I've never 951 00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:38,239 Speaker 1: I have much more money these last five years, but 952 00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:40,759 Speaker 1: I've never been one that pinches pennies. I don't have 953 00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:43,320 Speaker 1: the energy. I was talking about my brother with this. 954 00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:45,120 Speaker 1: He's come in for Thanksgiving and went to pick up 955 00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:49,600 Speaker 1: some food and recording this before the Eagles Chiefs game, 956 00:49:50,040 --> 00:49:52,080 Speaker 1: and we were talking about some people that obviously we 957 00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:54,799 Speaker 1: both know from growing up and some of the people 958 00:49:54,840 --> 00:49:57,160 Speaker 1: the way he was describing him, put so much effort 959 00:49:57,560 --> 00:50:00,839 Speaker 1: into like avoid a penny here, one hundred dollars here. 960 00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:03,360 Speaker 1: And it's like the amount of time and energy that 961 00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:06,480 Speaker 1: you put into that, you can just avoid it, right 962 00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:09,960 Speaker 1: by just doing something else and making them money. Your 963 00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:13,040 Speaker 1: time is worth valuable amount of money. Right, You have 964 00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:16,400 Speaker 1: a finite amount of time. So every ounce of energy 965 00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:19,440 Speaker 1: and time you put in if you only got ten bucks, 966 00:50:19,719 --> 00:50:22,640 Speaker 1: all four trying to get that twelve dollars thing down 967 00:50:22,719 --> 00:50:25,920 Speaker 1: to nine. But when you have hundreds of millions of 968 00:50:26,040 --> 00:50:29,440 Speaker 1: dollars and you're worried about paying a coach, you'd rather 969 00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:31,600 Speaker 1: pay a guy seven than twelve. I think you're a 970 00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:35,439 Speaker 1: fucking loser. I think you're a legitimate loser. And here's 971 00:50:35,480 --> 00:50:38,800 Speaker 1: another thing. If you're a self made guy like Tiger Woods, 972 00:50:39,040 --> 00:50:42,640 Speaker 1: Tiger Woods is notoriously cheap. It is ingrained into you 973 00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:44,919 Speaker 1: from when you're young. He didn't grow up with much money, 974 00:50:44,960 --> 00:50:46,719 Speaker 1: and it is hard to shake that. And I give 975 00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:48,160 Speaker 1: him a little benefit of the doubt when he's in 976 00:50:48,239 --> 00:50:51,879 Speaker 1: his twenties, but once you're basically almost fifty and people 977 00:50:51,960 --> 00:50:54,799 Speaker 1: still like he's really cheap, Like that's you gotta change 978 00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:57,080 Speaker 1: your ways a little bit, right, when you're like not 979 00:50:57,400 --> 00:51:00,640 Speaker 1: paying for the Navy Seals, when you're buying cheeseburger, that's 980 00:51:00,640 --> 00:51:02,600 Speaker 1: a reflection of who you are as a person. And 981 00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:04,920 Speaker 1: I'm a Tiger guy, but there's some stuff out there 982 00:51:04,960 --> 00:51:06,799 Speaker 1: when it comes to money. Michael Jordan liked that too. 983 00:51:07,520 --> 00:51:11,000 Speaker 1: I respect Charles Barkley grew up with nothing, gets money 984 00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:14,480 Speaker 1: and sees the impact you could have. Right, So I 985 00:51:14,560 --> 00:51:17,360 Speaker 1: think it's a disease. People don't shake it. And the 986 00:51:17,480 --> 00:51:20,560 Speaker 1: Spanoscus are The difference though, is Tiger Michael. They made 987 00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:24,960 Speaker 1: all their cash. Dean was handed this from generational you know, 988 00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:27,680 Speaker 1: his grandpa's dad. Like, he didn't do shit. He was 989 00:51:27,719 --> 00:51:31,120 Speaker 1: just lucky that he was a little swimmer when dad 990 00:51:31,200 --> 00:51:35,919 Speaker 1: went into mom. Right. So I think they don't even 991 00:51:35,960 --> 00:51:39,640 Speaker 1: get enough shit, right, They really don't. Mark Davis takes 992 00:51:39,680 --> 00:51:42,680 Speaker 1: a lot of shit because of his haircut. Cause look, 993 00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:46,640 Speaker 1: you got to give Mark Davis credit. It has not worked, 994 00:51:47,080 --> 00:51:50,240 Speaker 1: but he has tried. Like you go listen, the Gruden 995 00:51:50,320 --> 00:51:52,839 Speaker 1: thing was a disaster, but he went after a guy 996 00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:55,840 Speaker 1: that all these other people wanted, right from Major USC 997 00:51:56,080 --> 00:51:59,240 Speaker 1: to tennise Seed, all the big time colleges to the Colts. 998 00:51:59,320 --> 00:52:02,400 Speaker 1: He's turning down the Glaziers wanted to come back. Jerry 999 00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:04,719 Speaker 1: Jones had sniffed around. He's like, I'll give you one 1000 00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:07,640 Speaker 1: hundred million dollars. A couple of years later after that 1001 00:52:07,760 --> 00:52:09,880 Speaker 1: thing blows up in his face. I guess a year 1002 00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:11,279 Speaker 1: later because he gets fired in the middle of the 1003 00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:13,040 Speaker 1: year for something and Mark Davis had nothing to do with. 1004 00:52:13,280 --> 00:52:17,000 Speaker 1: He gets the opportunity hire Josh McDaniels. Again, complete failure, 1005 00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:18,960 Speaker 1: but at least he tries. He's like, get this guy 1006 00:52:19,040 --> 00:52:23,040 Speaker 1: from New England. It just keeps failing. The Spanoses would 1007 00:52:23,200 --> 00:52:27,400 Speaker 1: fucking throw up before they ever thought of giving a 1008 00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:30,040 Speaker 1: coach a six year contract, and maybe they go, well, John, 1009 00:52:30,080 --> 00:52:32,719 Speaker 1: look it up. They all fail. Well, inevitably, you gotta 1010 00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:35,239 Speaker 1: get one because you keep hiring these cheap guys, and 1011 00:52:35,320 --> 00:52:37,560 Speaker 1: the other teams you're playing would send the limo to 1012 00:52:37,600 --> 00:52:39,360 Speaker 1: pick them up, so they're on the sideline when the 1013 00:52:39,400 --> 00:52:43,040 Speaker 1: ball kicks off because they dream about playing Brandon Staley. 1014 00:52:43,400 --> 00:52:47,160 Speaker 1: Anthony Lynn, good guy, bad head coach, ironically better than 1015 00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:50,719 Speaker 1: Brandon Staley. Mike McCoy, same thing with these These are 1016 00:52:50,719 --> 00:52:52,440 Speaker 1: all position coaches, and the great I say this all 1017 00:52:52,480 --> 00:52:54,840 Speaker 1: the time about the NFL. Nothing wrong with being a 1018 00:52:54,880 --> 00:52:57,360 Speaker 1: position coach. If you're a position coach, Anthony Lin's probably 1019 00:52:57,360 --> 00:53:00,279 Speaker 1: making eight to nine hundred thousand dollars to be the 1020 00:53:00,400 --> 00:53:02,520 Speaker 1: running back coach assistant head coach for the San Fransco 1021 00:53:02,560 --> 00:53:05,000 Speaker 1: forty nine ers. He's not making one hundred thousand dollars. 1022 00:53:05,200 --> 00:53:08,600 Speaker 1: He's making hey fuck, he might be making a million dollars. 1023 00:53:09,120 --> 00:53:12,399 Speaker 1: This is not the NBA or Major League Baseball, where 1024 00:53:12,440 --> 00:53:13,960 Speaker 1: it's like you better be the lead dog or you 1025 00:53:14,040 --> 00:53:18,040 Speaker 1: get nothing. Everyone's making huge casts. Running back coach in 1026 00:53:18,120 --> 00:53:20,960 Speaker 1: the SEC is making half a million dollars. The money 1027 00:53:21,040 --> 00:53:23,759 Speaker 1: that is flowing in through coaching is insane. But if 1028 00:53:23,800 --> 00:53:25,239 Speaker 1: you want to get one of the top guys, if 1029 00:53:25,280 --> 00:53:27,400 Speaker 1: you want to have a good coach, if you're watching 1030 00:53:27,480 --> 00:53:30,200 Speaker 1: the Ram Seattle, both those guys are making fifteen to 1031 00:53:30,239 --> 00:53:33,319 Speaker 1: eighteen million dollars. That's what Sean McVay. That's what Pete 1032 00:53:33,320 --> 00:53:36,479 Speaker 1: Carroll makes. If you're watching Andy Reid, he's probably making 1033 00:53:36,520 --> 00:53:40,480 Speaker 1: somewhere between fifty and twenty million dollars. Fifteen not fifty, 1034 00:53:40,600 --> 00:53:43,439 Speaker 1: fifteen and twenty. That's what they cost. Listen, Lincoln Riley 1035 00:53:43,560 --> 00:53:46,840 Speaker 1: kind of sucks now, but like to get Lincoln Riley's services, 1036 00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:49,040 Speaker 1: you had to pay him one hundred and twenty million dollars. 1037 00:53:49,080 --> 00:53:53,000 Speaker 1: You want Brian Kelly ninety million dollars. That's the cost 1038 00:53:53,120 --> 00:53:55,880 Speaker 1: of it. That's the price of admission to get guys 1039 00:53:56,239 --> 00:53:58,279 Speaker 1: that have a resume and that could work. You want 1040 00:53:58,360 --> 00:54:01,480 Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh. It ain't cheap. This is that we're not 1041 00:54:01,560 --> 00:54:04,520 Speaker 1: talking about hourly workers. Right. It's one thing. If I 1042 00:54:04,600 --> 00:54:07,560 Speaker 1: get into something and I need a lawyer, maybe I'm 1043 00:54:07,600 --> 00:54:10,239 Speaker 1: not gonna be get the top of the top, right, 1044 00:54:10,680 --> 00:54:12,800 Speaker 1: But if I have a company that's worth hundreds of 1045 00:54:12,960 --> 00:54:16,560 Speaker 1: millions of dollars and I get into litigation, if I 1046 00:54:16,760 --> 00:54:20,880 Speaker 1: pinch pennies with a lawyer, I'm an idiot. Just like listen, 1047 00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:23,920 Speaker 1: if you have the means, especially like I'm not a 1048 00:54:24,080 --> 00:54:25,759 Speaker 1: W two guy. Anyone listening to this is not a 1049 00:54:25,920 --> 00:54:28,399 Speaker 1: W two guy. I would always lean to pay more 1050 00:54:28,440 --> 00:54:31,839 Speaker 1: for an accountant unless they can change that. They can 1051 00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:34,680 Speaker 1: make you a ton of money. Right. Hell, even if 1052 00:54:34,719 --> 00:54:36,279 Speaker 1: I am a W two guy, if I got a 1053 00:54:36,320 --> 00:54:39,279 Speaker 1: side income, I would always be willing to pay a 1054 00:54:39,320 --> 00:54:42,960 Speaker 1: little more to accountants and lawyers because in the big picture, 1055 00:54:43,040 --> 00:54:47,120 Speaker 1: they inevitably can make you money. So if you're in 1056 00:54:47,200 --> 00:54:50,120 Speaker 1: the football business and you're not willing to pay premiums 1057 00:54:50,160 --> 00:54:54,680 Speaker 1: for coaches, You're gonna lose. You're just gonna lose. That's 1058 00:54:54,760 --> 00:54:57,520 Speaker 1: just a fact that there aren't, you know, six million 1059 00:54:57,520 --> 00:55:01,279 Speaker 1: dollar coaches rattling off Super Bowls or national championships. That 1060 00:55:01,440 --> 00:55:04,239 Speaker 1: is just not the way it works, never has, never will. 1061 00:55:04,520 --> 00:55:06,759 Speaker 1: Who are the most famous coaches, all the highest paid 1062 00:55:06,800 --> 00:55:12,800 Speaker 1: guys my entire life, from Walsh to Parcels to Holmgren 1063 00:55:12,960 --> 00:55:15,279 Speaker 1: to Jimmy Johnson. You just go through all the guys 1064 00:55:15,360 --> 00:55:19,279 Speaker 1: winning the most. It's just the nature of the beast. 1065 00:55:21,440 --> 00:55:23,440 Speaker 1: Thanks for putting my question in the mailbag. Do you 1066 00:55:23,480 --> 00:55:25,880 Speaker 1: think the success of Dobbs, even with the Sunday night 1067 00:55:25,960 --> 00:55:30,000 Speaker 1: football loss, is a referendum on the Pittsburgh Steelers. They 1068 00:55:30,040 --> 00:55:33,120 Speaker 1: had him for what three years, and he never saw 1069 00:55:33,239 --> 00:55:36,400 Speaker 1: the field. I look back and think, could he have 1070 00:55:36,560 --> 00:55:39,200 Speaker 1: had three years to build him up but instead regressed 1071 00:55:39,239 --> 00:55:41,879 Speaker 1: With Kenny Pickett. I think it's easy to play this game, 1072 00:55:42,080 --> 00:55:45,200 Speaker 1: I really do. You know, if you look at baseball, 1073 00:55:45,360 --> 00:55:47,319 Speaker 1: it happens a lot. You get guys in the minor 1074 00:55:47,400 --> 00:55:51,480 Speaker 1: league system and for whatever reason, he doesn't crack through. 1075 00:55:52,120 --> 00:55:53,960 Speaker 1: Maybe you do bring him up for a stint and 1076 00:55:54,080 --> 00:55:56,560 Speaker 1: it doesn't go well. Then all of a sudden, you 1077 00:55:56,680 --> 00:55:59,680 Speaker 1: trade him to the Padres or the you know whoever 1078 00:56:00,120 --> 00:56:03,000 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay and he's like an all star. It happens 1079 00:56:03,120 --> 00:56:05,680 Speaker 1: all the time in baseball. It doesn't happen often in 1080 00:56:05,719 --> 00:56:10,520 Speaker 1: football at quarterback, right, it's rare, like even the backup 1081 00:56:10,600 --> 00:56:13,560 Speaker 1: quarterback that gets traded, Like in my life, it's happened 1082 00:56:13,560 --> 00:56:16,400 Speaker 1: with Matt shopp it happened with Jimmy Garoppolo where you 1083 00:56:16,480 --> 00:56:18,040 Speaker 1: kind of got to trade a decent amount to get 1084 00:56:18,080 --> 00:56:21,840 Speaker 1: the backup quarterback. But everyone kind of knows. It's pretty 1085 00:56:21,960 --> 00:56:25,000 Speaker 1: rare that a guy like Joshua Dobbs can be viewed 1086 00:56:25,040 --> 00:56:27,319 Speaker 1: as his complete random I mean, as a guy, let's 1087 00:56:27,320 --> 00:56:29,440 Speaker 1: face it, who felt like he's holding on to an 1088 00:56:29,560 --> 00:56:32,880 Speaker 1: NFL career for dear life to all of a sudden, 1089 00:56:33,000 --> 00:56:36,600 Speaker 1: I would say the Tennessee stretch last year to this 1090 00:56:36,800 --> 00:56:39,000 Speaker 1: year with Arizona and then Minnesota where you're like, wait, 1091 00:56:39,800 --> 00:56:42,600 Speaker 1: I am watching shitty quarterback after shitty court and this guy. 1092 00:56:44,080 --> 00:56:46,080 Speaker 1: People wouldn't pay this guy like five six million dollars 1093 00:56:46,120 --> 00:56:48,400 Speaker 1: when a year starts to be the backup. It's pretty crazy, 1094 00:56:48,440 --> 00:56:54,080 Speaker 1: but we're dealing with human beings. Different franchises have agendas, right, 1095 00:56:54,400 --> 00:56:56,680 Speaker 1: I'll say this for the Arizona Cardinals, they got rid 1096 00:56:56,719 --> 00:56:58,719 Speaker 1: of Cole McCoy so they could just trade and start 1097 00:56:58,800 --> 00:57:02,000 Speaker 1: josh Dopps. And the reason Joshua Dobbs lost his job 1098 00:57:02,719 --> 00:57:04,680 Speaker 1: was one they'd get value and Kyler was coming back. 1099 00:57:05,080 --> 00:57:08,080 Speaker 1: Maybe the owner wanted to see the young rookie quarterback 1100 00:57:08,080 --> 00:57:12,960 Speaker 1: if Kyler couldn't have come back. But yeah, I mean 1101 00:57:13,040 --> 00:57:15,400 Speaker 1: it's you don't You don't see it very often the 1102 00:57:15,440 --> 00:57:18,200 Speaker 1: way it played out, that's for sure. Big fan questions 1103 00:57:18,240 --> 00:57:20,560 Speaker 1: for the mailbag. As a fan, I see when a 1104 00:57:20,680 --> 00:57:23,480 Speaker 1: defense makes a tackle for a loss, especially in third down, 1105 00:57:24,120 --> 00:57:27,120 Speaker 1: the defense tends to run about ten yards or so. 1106 00:57:28,120 --> 00:57:30,439 Speaker 1: Why can't the coaching staff teach the offense to line 1107 00:57:30,480 --> 00:57:35,560 Speaker 1: up get a free play and outside penalty? Okay, I 1108 00:57:35,680 --> 00:57:38,640 Speaker 1: read that pretty poorly. That that was I butchered the 1109 00:57:38,680 --> 00:57:41,760 Speaker 1: English language right there. When he essentially asked they get 1110 00:57:41,760 --> 00:57:44,520 Speaker 1: a big tackle for loss, they all celebrate. Why don't 1111 00:57:44,520 --> 00:57:45,960 Speaker 1: we get him to the line, snap the ball when 1112 00:57:45,960 --> 00:57:48,520 Speaker 1: they're off and get a penalty. That's a good question, 1113 00:57:49,480 --> 00:57:51,920 Speaker 1: I mean, we should. That's a good question for an 1114 00:57:51,920 --> 00:57:55,439 Speaker 1: offensive coach, because I also think it's probably a little 1115 00:57:55,520 --> 00:57:59,280 Speaker 1: harder in reality than it sounds in a dmcause if 1116 00:57:59,280 --> 00:58:01,680 Speaker 1: I think about it, I get TfL. I guess a 1117 00:58:01,720 --> 00:58:03,600 Speaker 1: lot of them would happen on a run play because 1118 00:58:04,160 --> 00:58:06,320 Speaker 1: a sack. But let's say it's a sack. Well, some 1119 00:58:06,400 --> 00:58:08,760 Speaker 1: of my wide receivers might be fifteen twenty yards down 1120 00:58:08,800 --> 00:58:12,000 Speaker 1: the field, so I gotta run them back. So it's 1121 00:58:12,600 --> 00:58:14,360 Speaker 1: there's a lot of moving parts. And even on a 1122 00:58:14,480 --> 00:58:17,600 Speaker 1: run play, my wide receivers are in the corner. Blocking 1123 00:58:17,720 --> 00:58:22,520 Speaker 1: that in theory should be easier. But I don't. I 1124 00:58:22,600 --> 00:58:24,960 Speaker 1: honestly don't have a great answer for you. Do you 1125 00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:27,000 Speaker 1: think the Chargers should just rip the band aid off 1126 00:58:27,080 --> 00:58:30,320 Speaker 1: now again? I'm getting a lot of Charger questions, and Kellen, 1127 00:58:30,760 --> 00:58:32,880 Speaker 1: you know why. And this is what I respect about 1128 00:58:32,880 --> 00:58:34,960 Speaker 1: the NFL. And I told Coward this on Sunday night. 1129 00:58:36,800 --> 00:58:40,439 Speaker 1: There is no tanking when you turn on Washington, New York, 1130 00:58:40,880 --> 00:58:44,400 Speaker 1: when you turn on that Packers Charger game. The Packers, 1131 00:58:44,720 --> 00:58:47,360 Speaker 1: you know, in theory, should just lose out. The Giant 1132 00:58:47,400 --> 00:58:50,080 Speaker 1: should never win a game again, right put themselves in 1133 00:58:50,160 --> 00:58:53,360 Speaker 1: the best draft position. This season's going nowhere. But no 1134 00:58:53,440 --> 00:58:58,160 Speaker 1: one's wired like that. Coaches executives never talk about losing. Ever. 1135 00:58:58,840 --> 00:59:01,280 Speaker 1: I've been in a building that you know, been four 1136 00:59:01,320 --> 00:59:03,560 Speaker 1: and eight. I've been in another I wasn't in the 1137 00:59:03,600 --> 00:59:05,840 Speaker 1: building this the next year when they actually went four 1138 00:59:05,880 --> 00:59:08,800 Speaker 1: and twelve. But no one's ever trying to lose. Ever. 1139 00:59:09,560 --> 00:59:11,880 Speaker 1: Maybe that last week you kind of mail it in, 1140 00:59:12,560 --> 00:59:14,240 Speaker 1: but that's just not the way guys are wired. And 1141 00:59:14,360 --> 00:59:17,840 Speaker 1: most importantly, the players do not give a shit. They 1142 00:59:17,960 --> 00:59:20,560 Speaker 1: just don't care. And in fairness to the players, like 1143 00:59:21,080 --> 00:59:24,560 Speaker 1: I can be cut at any moment. The overwhelming majority 1144 00:59:24,560 --> 00:59:27,280 Speaker 1: of guys on a field for the bad teams don't 1145 00:59:27,320 --> 00:59:30,840 Speaker 1: have huge, guaranteed contracts. And I've been taught my entire 1146 00:59:30,960 --> 00:59:33,720 Speaker 1: life from high school through college because you got to 1147 00:59:33,720 --> 00:59:36,120 Speaker 1: play college football, even if it's a lower level. But 1148 00:59:36,160 --> 00:59:38,680 Speaker 1: the majority guys in the NFL are Division one football players. 1149 00:59:39,120 --> 00:59:42,040 Speaker 1: Through the NFL especially most of the league is not 1150 00:59:42,120 --> 00:59:43,720 Speaker 1: first round picks. It's a lot of four to six 1151 00:59:43,840 --> 00:59:47,040 Speaker 1: seventh you know, undrafted free agents. You're told every single 1152 00:59:47,120 --> 00:59:50,800 Speaker 1: rep that is on film, it's your resume. So and 1153 00:59:50,920 --> 00:59:53,160 Speaker 1: the other thing is in football, unlike basketball, like James 1154 00:59:53,200 --> 00:59:55,040 Speaker 1: Harden just can't he can just have a game where 1155 00:59:55,040 --> 00:59:57,600 Speaker 1: he doesn't try. It's like whatever, Russell Westbrook can just 1156 00:59:57,640 --> 01:00:00,400 Speaker 1: stand there not trying. It's like, doesn't matter. All my 1157 01:00:00,480 --> 01:00:03,040 Speaker 1: money's coming, none of it matters. Same thing in baseball. 1158 01:00:03,080 --> 01:00:04,960 Speaker 1: It's like you can bench me if I'm not hitting well. 1159 01:00:05,240 --> 01:00:07,000 Speaker 1: If I'm making twenty million, I'm making twenty At any 1160 01:00:07,040 --> 01:00:09,280 Speaker 1: moment in the NFL, I can get cut you and two. 1161 01:00:09,440 --> 01:00:11,480 Speaker 1: If I'm they put me in the game and I'm 1162 01:00:11,480 --> 01:00:14,240 Speaker 1: not trying. If I'm a d tackle, a linebacker, a 1163 01:00:14,320 --> 01:00:18,160 Speaker 1: running back, I would get fucking hurt. So it is 1164 01:00:18,520 --> 01:00:21,200 Speaker 1: it really hit me on Sunday. There are a lot 1165 01:00:21,240 --> 01:00:24,040 Speaker 1: of variables why the NFL has lapped every other sport, 1166 01:00:24,160 --> 01:00:27,640 Speaker 1: Like the gap is enormous. The gap is so big. 1167 01:00:28,160 --> 01:00:30,880 Speaker 1: The second biggest sport in America by a wide margin 1168 01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:33,800 Speaker 1: right now is college football, so it goes the NFL. 1169 01:00:33,880 --> 01:00:37,360 Speaker 1: That's in a different stratosphere college football. I saw this 1170 01:00:37,560 --> 01:00:41,640 Speaker 1: list of the television ratings for two weeks ago, like 1171 01:00:41,840 --> 01:00:47,479 Speaker 1: Alabama Kentucky. Alabama Kentucky Alabama destroyed them did almost three 1172 01:00:47,680 --> 01:00:51,280 Speaker 1: million people. For example, there is not one NBA game 1173 01:00:51,560 --> 01:00:56,800 Speaker 1: Lebron Curry this regular season. Maybe Christmas, but not now 1174 01:00:56,880 --> 01:00:59,520 Speaker 1: that the NFL plays on Christmas that will do numbers 1175 01:00:59,640 --> 01:01:01,880 Speaker 1: like that. If the NBA was doing big numbers is 1176 01:01:01,960 --> 01:01:03,680 Speaker 1: in season tournament the whole reason they did it, that's 1177 01:01:03,680 --> 01:01:06,120 Speaker 1: all you ever hear about. But it's hard for them 1178 01:01:06,160 --> 01:01:08,160 Speaker 1: to sniff one and a half two million people to 1179 01:01:08,240 --> 01:01:12,120 Speaker 1: watch their big games. That's with Curry, Giannis Lebron. People 1180 01:01:12,200 --> 01:01:17,320 Speaker 1: don't watch it, getting football Alabama fucking Kentucky and they 1181 01:01:17,360 --> 01:01:20,040 Speaker 1: were like the tenth highest rate of game of that day. 1182 01:01:20,800 --> 01:01:24,479 Speaker 1: Michigan Penn State did almost ten million people. The World 1183 01:01:24,600 --> 01:01:27,040 Speaker 1: Series didn't do any over nine million. Now, I know 1184 01:01:27,120 --> 01:01:29,880 Speaker 1: it was a bad matchup, but still obviously Baseball from 1185 01:01:29,920 --> 01:01:33,840 Speaker 1: a viewers ship standpoint has fallen behind. But like one thing, 1186 01:01:33,920 --> 01:01:36,560 Speaker 1: you know as a football fan, even if your team sucks, 1187 01:01:36,880 --> 01:01:39,520 Speaker 1: even if your team really sucks the Giants, for example, 1188 01:01:40,080 --> 01:01:42,880 Speaker 1: you're gonna watch it every week one you know the 1189 01:01:43,000 --> 01:01:46,440 Speaker 1: scarcity of inventory. You only get one game and two 1190 01:01:46,480 --> 01:01:48,840 Speaker 1: on any given week. It's not even cliche. You know 1191 01:01:48,880 --> 01:01:51,120 Speaker 1: your team could win, more than likely you're gonna lose. 1192 01:01:51,600 --> 01:01:54,400 Speaker 1: But like Buffalo, Like why am I watching this game? 1193 01:01:54,440 --> 01:01:55,640 Speaker 1: All of a sudden you're like, we're gonna beat the 1194 01:01:55,640 --> 01:01:58,120 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills on Sunday football. A couple of weeks later, 1195 01:01:58,200 --> 01:02:00,840 Speaker 1: we're even shitty. We're playing Washington. Watching is just better 1196 01:02:00,880 --> 01:02:03,080 Speaker 1: than us. All of a sudden, Tommy DeVito's throw a touchdown, 1197 01:02:03,240 --> 01:02:05,640 Speaker 1: touchdown of touchdown, You're like, we're gonna win, and then 1198 01:02:05,680 --> 01:02:09,720 Speaker 1: you win pretty easily. And that's what football has that 1199 01:02:09,960 --> 01:02:13,160 Speaker 1: us as a consumer, we have never had more options. 1200 01:02:13,200 --> 01:02:17,360 Speaker 1: We got a million things to watch, Netflix, Apple plus podcasts, 1201 01:02:17,560 --> 01:02:21,040 Speaker 1: youtubees that you can watch anything at any moment, it 1202 01:02:21,160 --> 01:02:22,880 Speaker 1: doesn't matter. Hell you want to read a book or 1203 01:02:22,920 --> 01:02:24,800 Speaker 1: do you want to listen to the book. And then 1204 01:02:25,000 --> 01:02:30,840 Speaker 1: you know, families' we like anything in life, people have responsibilities, 1205 01:02:30,960 --> 01:02:34,160 Speaker 1: less and less time, especially the older you get. But 1206 01:02:34,280 --> 01:02:36,240 Speaker 1: you know, with football, for the most part, it's on 1207 01:02:36,360 --> 01:02:38,479 Speaker 1: Sunday and you only have to give your three hours 1208 01:02:38,520 --> 01:02:41,760 Speaker 1: to watch your team. It's the greatest television business for 1209 01:02:41,840 --> 01:02:45,400 Speaker 1: a sport. Ever that there is no duplicating that. The 1210 01:02:45,600 --> 01:02:48,960 Speaker 1: NBA and baseball pushes back so fast. You're like, probably 1211 01:02:49,040 --> 01:02:53,160 Speaker 1: take some games away. They're like no, never, Okay, no 1212 01:02:53,200 --> 01:02:57,080 Speaker 1: one's gonna watch. No one's gonna watch. You're losing viewers. 1213 01:02:57,120 --> 01:02:58,760 Speaker 1: And I'm a diehard sports fan. 1214 01:02:58,720 --> 01:03:01,640 Speaker 2: For thirty years, watch all sports. My entire life and 1215 01:03:01,760 --> 01:03:05,040 Speaker 2: the individual sports. Grew up watching tennis. Obviously I love golf, 1216 01:03:05,520 --> 01:03:07,680 Speaker 2: but I'd never argue like golf's niche. I mean, they 1217 01:03:07,720 --> 01:03:10,120 Speaker 2: struggle to get two three million people watching. This is 1218 01:03:10,160 --> 01:03:11,000 Speaker 2: the nature of the business. 1219 01:03:11,320 --> 01:03:13,880 Speaker 1: So do all the other sports now except football, And 1220 01:03:14,000 --> 01:03:16,440 Speaker 1: I thought it was on full display Sunday with like 1221 01:03:16,560 --> 01:03:19,400 Speaker 1: goddamn everyone you can say, oh, it's been a shitty year. 1222 01:03:19,840 --> 01:03:21,680 Speaker 1: I don't know. It feels like the same as always. 1223 01:03:22,160 --> 01:03:25,520 Speaker 1: And these teams, man, they just try, they really do. 1224 01:03:26,080 --> 01:03:28,080 Speaker 1: I don't see hard about going to the Chargers. I 1225 01:03:28,200 --> 01:03:30,920 Speaker 1: just don't see them paying. Will you give a Scouts 1226 01:03:31,000 --> 01:03:34,560 Speaker 1: rundown of Jayyar Brown probably spelled the forty nine ers 1227 01:03:34,640 --> 01:03:37,520 Speaker 1: rookie Maybe you did after the draft, but a refresher 1228 01:03:37,760 --> 01:03:42,600 Speaker 1: and maybe how you thought he performed and limited play, Well, 1229 01:03:43,240 --> 01:03:44,920 Speaker 1: you know a lot of guys and he was their 1230 01:03:45,000 --> 01:03:47,400 Speaker 1: third round pick from Penn State. You know, when you're 1231 01:03:47,440 --> 01:03:50,280 Speaker 1: a safety or a linebacker or you know, positions like 1232 01:03:50,360 --> 01:03:52,760 Speaker 1: that that go in the third or fourth round, you 1233 01:03:53,000 --> 01:03:55,440 Speaker 1: obviously have people in the building who probably think you're 1234 01:03:55,720 --> 01:03:59,520 Speaker 1: you know, a top you know, somewhere between I would 1235 01:03:59,520 --> 01:04:03,600 Speaker 1: say fifty and eighty, like you could be a second 1236 01:04:03,640 --> 01:04:05,520 Speaker 1: round pick, but you also could be a fourth round pick. 1237 01:04:06,440 --> 01:04:10,160 Speaker 1: You're always gonna have a limitation, whether it's a size component, 1238 01:04:10,600 --> 01:04:14,160 Speaker 1: whether you're a little undersized physically, whether you're short and 1239 01:04:14,760 --> 01:04:18,000 Speaker 1: speed right when you go to the combine and you 1240 01:04:18,200 --> 01:04:22,600 Speaker 1: run slow, fair or not, that determines your market value. Right, 1241 01:04:22,720 --> 01:04:25,760 Speaker 1: the size of a lot on a given street, like 1242 01:04:26,040 --> 01:04:29,160 Speaker 1: my house even was in shitty shape when I bought it, 1243 01:04:29,280 --> 01:04:32,240 Speaker 1: did a full remodel, Well, the value was still relatively 1244 01:04:32,320 --> 01:04:36,160 Speaker 1: high because my lot is like thirty percent bigger than 1245 01:04:36,280 --> 01:04:39,800 Speaker 1: everyone in my community except like three other lots out 1246 01:04:39,880 --> 01:04:41,640 Speaker 1: of I don't even know how many homes, let's say 1247 01:04:41,760 --> 01:04:44,959 Speaker 1: eight hundred. So like, there are certain things that bump 1248 01:04:45,040 --> 01:04:47,320 Speaker 1: things up and certain things that bump things down. And 1249 01:04:47,440 --> 01:04:50,400 Speaker 1: when you run a slow forty, we can say, listen, 1250 01:04:50,520 --> 01:04:53,200 Speaker 1: you're not paid to run forties in the NFL, but 1251 01:04:53,600 --> 01:04:57,000 Speaker 1: it does factor in to your evaluation in terms of 1252 01:04:57,080 --> 01:04:59,400 Speaker 1: the market of what I have to pay on draft 1253 01:04:59,480 --> 01:05:01,880 Speaker 1: day for your services. And he didn't run that fast, 1254 01:05:02,440 --> 01:05:04,520 Speaker 1: if memory serves me correct, I think he ran a 1255 01:05:04,560 --> 01:05:06,959 Speaker 1: four to six. But he was an extremely productive player 1256 01:05:06,960 --> 01:05:08,760 Speaker 1: at Penn State. I think he had a ton of 1257 01:05:08,800 --> 01:05:12,080 Speaker 1: PBUs it picks like he was very, very productive with 1258 01:05:12,200 --> 01:05:14,720 Speaker 1: the ball on one of the best defenses in the country. 1259 01:05:15,240 --> 01:05:16,800 Speaker 1: But if a guy like him, if you run a 1260 01:05:16,880 --> 01:05:18,840 Speaker 1: four to four to two, you probably go in the 1261 01:05:18,880 --> 01:05:22,240 Speaker 1: second round. But he runs a little slower. Again, I'm 1262 01:05:22,360 --> 01:05:26,000 Speaker 1: going this off just memory from whatever six months ago. 1263 01:05:26,480 --> 01:05:27,919 Speaker 1: You know you followed the end of the third round, 1264 01:05:29,320 --> 01:05:32,920 Speaker 1: and now you know Hufunga tears his ACL he's got 1265 01:05:33,000 --> 01:05:36,400 Speaker 1: to play. It's the NFL. Right starters go down all 1266 01:05:36,440 --> 01:05:40,640 Speaker 1: the time, and young players, rookie, second year, practice squad 1267 01:05:40,680 --> 01:05:45,720 Speaker 1: guys are thrust into positions like that. Hey, John, should 1268 01:05:45,800 --> 01:05:50,000 Speaker 1: players wear more padding in today's game? I get that 1269 01:05:50,080 --> 01:05:53,720 Speaker 1: it might limit the speed players can generate, but with 1270 01:05:53,920 --> 01:05:56,920 Speaker 1: all the talk of keeping players safe, would it not 1271 01:05:57,080 --> 01:06:01,360 Speaker 1: be the obvious thing to do? Thanks have a great Thanksgiving. 1272 01:06:01,640 --> 01:06:08,760 Speaker 1: Also favorite Thanksgiving side dish. Uh. I'm a pretty meat 1273 01:06:08,760 --> 01:06:11,360 Speaker 1: and potatoes guy when it comes Thanksgiving. Just give him 1274 01:06:11,360 --> 01:06:14,320 Speaker 1: my stuffing, give him my turkey, give me a little cranberry, 1275 01:06:14,560 --> 01:06:17,560 Speaker 1: give me mashed potatoes, give me whatever greens you have, 1276 01:06:17,760 --> 01:06:20,960 Speaker 1: whether it's peas, whether it's green beans, And I'm good. 1277 01:06:21,240 --> 01:06:24,760 Speaker 1: That's and obviously the Hawaiian rolls. And then I'm king 1278 01:06:24,880 --> 01:06:28,560 Speaker 1: of open the freshly baked Hawaiian roll, put the turkey 1279 01:06:28,640 --> 01:06:32,640 Speaker 1: in the Hawaiian role, put a little cranberry on top, 1280 01:06:33,240 --> 01:06:35,840 Speaker 1: dip that in the mashed potatoes, and then if you 1281 01:06:35,880 --> 01:06:38,080 Speaker 1: have peas, you could even then take the mashed potato 1282 01:06:38,160 --> 01:06:40,640 Speaker 1: part of the dip into the peas, take a bite. 1283 01:06:41,200 --> 01:06:43,800 Speaker 1: I don't think it gets any better. I'm always offended 1284 01:06:44,400 --> 01:06:46,400 Speaker 1: by people that don't like turkey. When I hear I'm 1285 01:06:46,400 --> 01:06:48,840 Speaker 1: not a big turkey guy, It's like, Yeah, that pisses 1286 01:06:48,920 --> 01:06:51,040 Speaker 1: me off. Listen, love red meat as much as the 1287 01:06:51,080 --> 01:06:55,520 Speaker 1: next guy. But I love turkey. I love a fresh 1288 01:06:56,640 --> 01:06:59,120 Speaker 1: cook turkey on Thanksgiving. Also, I mean shit, I like 1289 01:06:59,200 --> 01:07:01,680 Speaker 1: it on Christmas. Even though you know, my brother's more 1290 01:07:01,680 --> 01:07:04,160 Speaker 1: of a primary guy. I like primar yb too. But 1291 01:07:04,400 --> 01:07:08,080 Speaker 1: I always I don't know, I'm just I'm a big 1292 01:07:08,160 --> 01:07:10,840 Speaker 1: white meat guy. I like turkey, I like chicken. I 1293 01:07:11,080 --> 01:07:13,400 Speaker 1: like it a lot. Actually it's easier on my stomach. 1294 01:07:13,480 --> 01:07:15,520 Speaker 1: Maybe that's part of it, right, I think red meat 1295 01:07:15,600 --> 01:07:19,560 Speaker 1: sometimes I don't exactly have the rocks metabolism here, so 1296 01:07:19,680 --> 01:07:24,160 Speaker 1: I the white meats are easy on my insides than uh. 1297 01:07:24,280 --> 01:07:26,240 Speaker 1: Definitely feels like some of the red meat. And I'm 1298 01:07:26,280 --> 01:07:29,080 Speaker 1: not some health conscious freak, but I've just thought it 1299 01:07:29,160 --> 01:07:31,480 Speaker 1: was easy. Now there's that after feeling of the turkey, 1300 01:07:31,520 --> 01:07:34,120 Speaker 1: get a little sleepy, have a cup of coffee, right, 1301 01:07:34,240 --> 01:07:38,439 Speaker 1: have an espresso. But I'm a big turkey gay. Here's 1302 01:07:38,480 --> 01:07:41,800 Speaker 1: the thing, Like, let's let's take some knee injuries that 1303 01:07:41,880 --> 01:07:46,600 Speaker 1: we've seen from Jordan Travis this week, the Florida State 1304 01:07:46,680 --> 01:07:51,240 Speaker 1: quarterback to earlier this year, Nick Chubb, hell even whu 1305 01:07:51,280 --> 01:07:53,920 Speaker 1: Funa towards ACL Like, what would padding do to any 1306 01:07:53,960 --> 01:07:57,680 Speaker 1: of this? I don't think it has these guys. I 1307 01:07:57,720 --> 01:08:02,959 Speaker 1: don't think padding has any ability to neutralize and slow 1308 01:08:03,040 --> 01:08:06,320 Speaker 1: down any of these violent injuries. I really don't. Right, 1309 01:08:06,400 --> 01:08:09,040 Speaker 1: if you play high school football, they make you wear 1310 01:08:09,080 --> 01:08:11,320 Speaker 1: the hip pads, they make you wear the thigh pads, 1311 01:08:11,320 --> 01:08:13,280 Speaker 1: and they make you wear the knee pads. If you 1312 01:08:13,360 --> 01:08:16,240 Speaker 1: watch a lot of NFL players and probably college as well, 1313 01:08:16,920 --> 01:08:19,360 Speaker 1: you see a lot of guys with maybe on each 1314 01:08:19,439 --> 01:08:22,280 Speaker 1: side of their leg one piece of the foam padding. 1315 01:08:23,080 --> 01:08:26,120 Speaker 1: I just don't think it has much impact. I really don't, 1316 01:08:26,960 --> 01:08:30,200 Speaker 1: you know. I just I don't know if it would 1317 01:08:30,240 --> 01:08:33,200 Speaker 1: change a lot the violence in which someone is running 1318 01:08:33,240 --> 01:08:37,040 Speaker 1: at you head first, shoulder first. If I'm two undred four, 1319 01:08:37,120 --> 01:08:40,200 Speaker 1: if Fred Warner is running at you full speed, if 1320 01:08:40,880 --> 01:08:43,800 Speaker 1: Miles Garrett is running at you full speed, there's just 1321 01:08:43,960 --> 01:08:47,080 Speaker 1: nothing that is going to limit their power in the 1322 01:08:48,240 --> 01:08:51,920 Speaker 1: velocity of the impact. So I hear what you're saying. 1323 01:08:52,080 --> 01:08:55,120 Speaker 1: Like in theory, it makes a lot of sense, like 1324 01:08:55,160 --> 01:08:57,320 Speaker 1: why don't you just put some more pads on? But 1325 01:08:57,400 --> 01:08:59,760 Speaker 1: it's not like a hockey goalie, right, you would want 1326 01:08:59,800 --> 01:09:02,160 Speaker 1: to wear more pads of hockey goaligue one to limit 1327 01:09:02,240 --> 01:09:04,640 Speaker 1: the airspace and two so you don't get injured, or 1328 01:09:05,120 --> 01:09:08,320 Speaker 1: even a catcher in baseball. I just think these lines, 1329 01:09:08,520 --> 01:09:11,479 Speaker 1: I think I don't think it would limit anything. It's 1330 01:09:11,520 --> 01:09:15,599 Speaker 1: hard to find a major injury in the NFL from 1331 01:09:15,680 --> 01:09:18,400 Speaker 1: contact and go. If he would have just had more 1332 01:09:18,840 --> 01:09:22,080 Speaker 1: lake pads, that wouldn't have happened. It's not like a 1333 01:09:22,200 --> 01:09:25,439 Speaker 1: seat belt in the car or something. Right, met an 1334 01:09:25,520 --> 01:09:29,000 Speaker 1: evil version of you at the blackjack table casino in 1335 01:09:29,120 --> 01:09:34,679 Speaker 1: Wisconsin on Saturday. I wonder what he was like. Two questions, 1336 01:09:35,320 --> 01:09:38,760 Speaker 1: Why don't you gamble? I do heavily. I've had to 1337 01:09:38,920 --> 01:09:42,679 Speaker 1: pick my spots as I've had, you know, a remodel 1338 01:09:42,720 --> 01:09:45,280 Speaker 1: that has cost me a lot of money, and I 1339 01:09:45,479 --> 01:09:47,639 Speaker 1: just I don't get off. I can't make a hundred 1340 01:09:47,640 --> 01:09:49,760 Speaker 1: dollars bet on the NFL. It does nothing to me. 1341 01:09:50,080 --> 01:09:53,120 Speaker 1: I don't care. I'm not acting like Jeff Bezos here. 1342 01:09:53,479 --> 01:09:55,760 Speaker 1: I'm just telling you for me to place a bet now, 1343 01:09:56,680 --> 01:09:59,160 Speaker 1: it's hard for me to place non golf. I could 1344 01:09:59,160 --> 01:10:01,960 Speaker 1: place one hundred dollars bet and golf thirty to one, 1345 01:10:02,360 --> 01:10:04,160 Speaker 1: right or even ten to one to win a thousand. 1346 01:10:04,640 --> 01:10:06,640 Speaker 1: I can't place a two hundred dollars NFL bet to 1347 01:10:06,680 --> 01:10:08,920 Speaker 1: win two hundred dollars. It's just it's a waste of 1348 01:10:09,080 --> 01:10:11,760 Speaker 1: my time, energy, and honestly money, because if I lose it, 1349 01:10:11,840 --> 01:10:13,920 Speaker 1: it does nothing to me. I have to bet enough 1350 01:10:13,960 --> 01:10:16,680 Speaker 1: where I get juiced. So to me to bet, make 1351 01:10:16,720 --> 01:10:19,519 Speaker 1: a bet that's worth It's gonna start with four figures. Now, 1352 01:10:19,600 --> 01:10:21,840 Speaker 1: I'm not saying that's ten thousand or you know, nine thousand, 1353 01:10:21,960 --> 01:10:24,439 Speaker 1: But even if it's one thousand and fifteen hundred and 1354 01:10:24,439 --> 01:10:26,800 Speaker 1: two grand, you start betting four or five games like 1355 01:10:26,920 --> 01:10:28,599 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you look up, you're a twenty grand. 1356 01:10:28,720 --> 01:10:32,200 Speaker 1: So I I go one game at a time. Because 1357 01:10:32,240 --> 01:10:36,800 Speaker 1: of this remodel situation has been very expensive. But that's 1358 01:10:37,000 --> 01:10:39,519 Speaker 1: just being honest with you. But I can't afford to 1359 01:10:39,600 --> 01:10:42,519 Speaker 1: bet twenty five grand on a game, but I have 1360 01:10:42,640 --> 01:10:44,960 Speaker 1: to bet enough to keep me going, like one hundred 1361 01:10:44,960 --> 01:10:48,040 Speaker 1: dollars bet on a football game. It's just I've been 1362 01:10:48,080 --> 01:10:49,720 Speaker 1: gambling for too long. I mean, I was doing that 1363 01:10:49,840 --> 01:10:52,760 Speaker 1: in college when I didn't have any money. So I've 1364 01:10:52,800 --> 01:10:56,000 Speaker 1: been gambling so long that I have to gamble and 1365 01:10:56,080 --> 01:10:58,439 Speaker 1: that there's nothing like it. Right, I could bet five 1366 01:10:58,520 --> 01:11:01,840 Speaker 1: thousand dollars. Let's say Thursday. Let's say I pick one 1367 01:11:01,880 --> 01:11:05,439 Speaker 1: of the games Lions Packers. If I bet five thousand 1368 01:11:05,439 --> 01:11:08,360 Speaker 1: dollars on that game and one that high of winning 1369 01:11:08,400 --> 01:11:11,960 Speaker 1: it and watching that game would trump me making you 1370 01:11:12,040 --> 01:11:16,280 Speaker 1: know from a podcast, fifty grand in a quarter or whatever, 1371 01:11:16,360 --> 01:11:19,160 Speaker 1: I mean, whatever, right it would, it would. I don't 1372 01:11:19,160 --> 01:11:22,720 Speaker 1: get any juice from business money, and I've been doing 1373 01:11:22,800 --> 01:11:25,800 Speaker 1: this now and in the trenches of non w two 1374 01:11:25,880 --> 01:11:28,479 Speaker 1: life for close to a decade. At first, it is 1375 01:11:28,640 --> 01:11:32,679 Speaker 1: kind of invigorating, and obviously it never sucks getting bigger 1376 01:11:32,720 --> 01:11:35,240 Speaker 1: and bigger in terms of money, but it doesn't do 1377 01:11:35,320 --> 01:11:39,920 Speaker 1: anything for me. My juices are unfazed. Honestly, I swear 1378 01:11:39,960 --> 01:11:41,920 Speaker 1: I'm not saying I'm not saying if someone handed me 1379 01:11:42,400 --> 01:11:46,000 Speaker 1: fifty million dollars, I wouldn't get juiced up. But relative 1380 01:11:46,120 --> 01:11:48,519 Speaker 1: to what I've been used to generating now for a while, 1381 01:11:48,680 --> 01:11:50,960 Speaker 1: even when I increase it, it doesn't do much for me. 1382 01:11:51,560 --> 01:11:55,559 Speaker 1: But there's nothing like gambling. Nothing, There is no high 1383 01:11:55,760 --> 01:11:58,760 Speaker 1: like winning a bet that to me, to make the 1384 01:11:58,800 --> 01:12:00,360 Speaker 1: same amount of money that I win the bet to 1385 01:12:00,400 --> 01:12:03,240 Speaker 1: get the same feel would probably have to one hundred exit. 1386 01:12:04,240 --> 01:12:05,840 Speaker 1: So I mean, I don't know why you think I 1387 01:12:05,880 --> 01:12:07,880 Speaker 1: don't gamble, Like fucking love to gamble. It's why I 1388 01:12:07,920 --> 01:12:09,799 Speaker 1: think so many people in the media are such fraudulent, 1389 01:12:09,880 --> 01:12:12,280 Speaker 1: Like you couldn't get them to bet fifty dollars on 1390 01:12:12,400 --> 01:12:14,519 Speaker 1: a game if you put a gun to their head. 1391 01:12:14,720 --> 01:12:17,160 Speaker 1: That these people, that ninety nine percent of people in 1392 01:12:17,240 --> 01:12:20,200 Speaker 1: the media would never gamble. So when I see him 1393 01:12:20,200 --> 01:12:23,760 Speaker 1: promoting stuff, it's like, you are such frauds, You're you're 1394 01:12:23,840 --> 01:12:26,360 Speaker 1: just such a horror. Which listen, I'm all for it's 1395 01:12:26,400 --> 01:12:28,680 Speaker 1: part of business, but it's like part of this is 1396 01:12:28,800 --> 01:12:30,880 Speaker 1: like acting like you're doing it when you're not doing 1397 01:12:30,960 --> 01:12:35,080 Speaker 1: it at all. And I've been gambling since I was sixteen, 1398 01:12:35,160 --> 01:12:39,679 Speaker 1: sneaking into cash creep. Do you feel Kevin O'Connell feels 1399 01:12:39,800 --> 01:12:43,040 Speaker 1: more free to call his offense with a mobile quarterback 1400 01:12:43,120 --> 01:12:46,960 Speaker 1: like Dobbs as opposed to Kirk Cousins. I think they 1401 01:12:47,000 --> 01:12:49,679 Speaker 1: were humming with Cousins. I mean calling that offense against 1402 01:12:49,680 --> 01:12:51,439 Speaker 1: the forty nine ers when he went like thirty five 1403 01:12:51,520 --> 01:12:54,519 Speaker 1: or forty five, as the kids would say, he was 1404 01:12:54,560 --> 01:12:57,040 Speaker 1: in his bag. I just think it's different, And I 1405 01:12:57,080 --> 01:13:00,080 Speaker 1: think part of calling an offense with Dobbs is there 1406 01:13:00,080 --> 01:13:02,000 Speaker 1: were a couple of plays on Sunday night and definitely 1407 01:13:02,040 --> 01:13:04,680 Speaker 1: the week before where he kind of freelances. That's the 1408 01:13:04,720 --> 01:13:07,320 Speaker 1: thing when you get a running quarterback, a lot of 1409 01:13:07,400 --> 01:13:09,960 Speaker 1: times when it results in a sweet play, the play 1410 01:13:10,000 --> 01:13:12,200 Speaker 1: caller had nothing to do with it. Stuff wasn't there, 1411 01:13:12,200 --> 01:13:14,680 Speaker 1: and the dude just runs around. And sometimes when you 1412 01:13:14,760 --> 01:13:16,240 Speaker 1: run around, especially if you don't go past the line 1413 01:13:16,240 --> 01:13:19,360 Speaker 1: of scrimmage, you end up making an explosive play or 1414 01:13:19,400 --> 01:13:21,880 Speaker 1: throw a touchdown. Like the play caller didn't have anything 1415 01:13:21,920 --> 01:13:24,160 Speaker 1: to do with that. It's just a player. I would 1416 01:13:24,200 --> 01:13:27,600 Speaker 1: say most things with Cousins, you get credit for us 1417 01:13:27,720 --> 01:13:30,120 Speaker 1: like you're a partner with them. When you get a 1418 01:13:30,200 --> 01:13:35,160 Speaker 1: running quarterback, it's not a fifty to fifty partnership. Definitely not, 1419 01:13:35,479 --> 01:13:39,440 Speaker 1: because some of his greatest plays are just completely instinctive, 1420 01:13:40,439 --> 01:13:43,320 Speaker 1: making shit happen from scratch. Big fan of the show, 1421 01:13:43,439 --> 01:13:45,400 Speaker 1: been listening for a while. I'm a Packer fan and 1422 01:13:45,520 --> 01:13:48,960 Speaker 1: looking at their remaining schedule, they have four winnable games 1423 01:13:49,600 --> 01:13:51,760 Speaker 1: if they do finish eight to nine, and Love looks 1424 01:13:51,800 --> 01:13:55,479 Speaker 1: like a solid quarterback. Do you see the Packers trading 1425 01:13:55,520 --> 01:13:57,600 Speaker 1: down in the draft and gaining more picks, trying to 1426 01:13:57,640 --> 01:14:00,360 Speaker 1: get in the top eight and grabbing a quarterback. I 1427 01:14:00,479 --> 01:14:02,680 Speaker 1: told Coward this the other night. You got to be 1428 01:14:02,800 --> 01:14:05,320 Speaker 1: very careful when you have performances against the Chargers and 1429 01:14:05,400 --> 01:14:09,560 Speaker 1: Brandon Staley, that does not define your success. Right to me, 1430 01:14:09,720 --> 01:14:12,920 Speaker 1: there's a big week for him, short week, divisional opponent, 1431 01:14:13,080 --> 01:14:15,360 Speaker 1: really good team you don't have to win. But does 1432 01:14:15,400 --> 01:14:17,720 Speaker 1: he keep looking good? Does he keep I mean his 1433 01:14:17,880 --> 01:14:20,200 Speaker 1: numbers yesterday to the two young wide receivers and the 1434 01:14:20,240 --> 01:14:23,799 Speaker 1: two tight ends were awesome. It's like he's playing Brandon stalely. 1435 01:14:23,960 --> 01:14:25,920 Speaker 1: I don't think anyone knows what they're doing out there 1436 01:14:26,360 --> 01:14:28,840 Speaker 1: right in terms of like what Brandon's calling in the defense, 1437 01:14:28,880 --> 01:14:30,599 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think anyone's on the same page. 1438 01:14:31,400 --> 01:14:34,800 Speaker 1: So I think there is a lot of interest as 1439 01:14:34,880 --> 01:14:37,320 Speaker 1: they play. I have to look at their schedule, but 1440 01:14:37,880 --> 01:14:40,560 Speaker 1: so you got the Lions Thursday, then you play the 1441 01:14:40,720 --> 01:14:44,280 Speaker 1: Chiefs at Green Bay. Then you play the Giants at 1442 01:14:44,320 --> 01:14:46,840 Speaker 1: New York, which, while they suck, that's a pretty interesting game. 1443 01:14:47,240 --> 01:14:49,439 Speaker 1: Then you play the Bucks at home. Like I watched 1444 01:14:49,479 --> 01:14:51,680 Speaker 1: the Bucks yesterday against the Niners. You know, they do 1445 01:14:51,840 --> 01:14:54,320 Speaker 1: have some good defensive players. Now, Devin White got hurt 1446 01:14:54,360 --> 01:14:56,360 Speaker 1: in the game, but Vida Bay is really good. They've 1447 01:14:56,439 --> 01:14:58,599 Speaker 1: drafted some young pass rushers the last couple of years. 1448 01:14:59,120 --> 01:15:00,720 Speaker 1: You know, some of their corner have just been there 1449 01:15:00,760 --> 01:15:03,800 Speaker 1: for a while. What's his name, the young safety from 1450 01:15:03,840 --> 01:15:07,760 Speaker 1: Minnesota Panthers. They sucked Vikings. So it's I mean, does 1451 01:15:07,840 --> 01:15:11,360 Speaker 1: he have multiple double ditch touchdown games, like back to 1452 01:15:11,479 --> 01:15:13,800 Speaker 1: back games where he throws two hundred and fifty yards 1453 01:15:13,800 --> 01:15:16,080 Speaker 1: in a couple of touchdowns, maybe three touchdowns on a 1454 01:15:16,120 --> 01:15:18,479 Speaker 1: pick or does he have those games where he's struggling 1455 01:15:18,520 --> 01:15:20,519 Speaker 1: to be in like the low one hundreds and no touchdowns. 1456 01:15:20,920 --> 01:15:22,880 Speaker 1: So I think he still has a lot in the line. 1457 01:15:23,400 --> 01:15:26,400 Speaker 1: He definitely listen, A game is a game, and yesterday's 1458 01:15:26,439 --> 01:15:28,920 Speaker 1: game he was really good. But you know, I've seen 1459 01:15:29,000 --> 01:15:30,559 Speaker 1: him early in the season, Like, I don't know now, 1460 01:15:30,600 --> 01:15:32,760 Speaker 1: he's young, he hasn't played that much. I know he's 1461 01:15:32,880 --> 01:15:34,800 Speaker 1: technically an older player in the sense that he's been 1462 01:15:34,840 --> 01:15:36,439 Speaker 1: the league a couple of years, but he hasn't played 1463 01:15:36,680 --> 01:15:39,800 Speaker 1: first year starting. So I would say these next they 1464 01:15:39,880 --> 01:15:43,479 Speaker 1: got six more games. If four of them, he can 1465 01:15:43,560 --> 01:15:47,400 Speaker 1: throw two plus touchdowns, so he can get to let's 1466 01:15:47,439 --> 01:15:52,400 Speaker 1: just say that would be a let's say he gets 1467 01:15:52,400 --> 01:15:56,760 Speaker 1: to eleven twelve thrown touchdowns. I definitely think he could 1468 01:15:56,800 --> 01:15:58,880 Speaker 1: make a pretty good case to just run it back 1469 01:15:58,920 --> 01:16:02,160 Speaker 1: another year draft other players, but that to me would 1470 01:16:02,200 --> 01:16:05,920 Speaker 1: definitely be on the line. It's weird, like he can 1471 01:16:06,000 --> 01:16:08,320 Speaker 1: look really, really terrible, and it's part of football, right, 1472 01:16:08,560 --> 01:16:10,840 Speaker 1: most guys they can have really good games and look awful. 1473 01:16:10,880 --> 01:16:13,519 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield had some good games and he can look terrible. 1474 01:16:13,720 --> 01:16:15,519 Speaker 1: One throw, it's like, got he looks like a former 1475 01:16:15,600 --> 01:16:17,600 Speaker 1: number one pick Another throw, you're like, that should have 1476 01:16:17,640 --> 01:16:20,080 Speaker 1: been a pick six. That's most most guys are not 1477 01:16:20,160 --> 01:16:23,560 Speaker 1: Peyton Manning or Tom Brady. So I guess part of 1478 01:16:23,600 --> 01:16:24,960 Speaker 1: it is getting used to I think it's hard for 1479 01:16:25,040 --> 01:16:28,160 Speaker 1: Packer fans because you're used to Rogers which what ninety 1480 01:16:28,320 --> 01:16:30,599 Speaker 1: six percent of his games are gonna be good, even 1481 01:16:30,960 --> 01:16:34,639 Speaker 1: most games you're losing. He's good. This is Jordan Love 1482 01:16:34,720 --> 01:16:38,200 Speaker 1: is much more of a normal quarterback situation where you're like, 1483 01:16:38,320 --> 01:16:40,160 Speaker 1: is he good? Is he bad? You we keep him? 1484 01:16:40,360 --> 01:16:41,840 Speaker 1: The good thing is and this is where you guys 1485 01:16:41,880 --> 01:16:44,960 Speaker 1: get credit No. Fifth your option pick up, and you're 1486 01:16:44,960 --> 01:16:47,720 Speaker 1: not paying him any money. So see how it goes 1487 01:16:47,960 --> 01:16:54,479 Speaker 1: Audios the volume
