1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:10,560
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, just shut the front door for a second,

3
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 2: because Ephraim and I are all ready to talk about

4
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 2: one specific player, the position he plays, and all of

5
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:23,440
Speaker 2: the people at that position who are bringing their name

6
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 2: down for everyone around the league. But before we do that,

7
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 2: I think we need to just can we decompress for

8
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 2: a second?

9
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 1: We welcome you in.

10
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 2: This is, as you well know, Week sixteen in the

11
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 2: National Football League. We are broadcasting live from the Fox

12
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 2: Sports Radio studios, and we are moments removed from one

13
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,599
Speaker 2: of the crazier finishes in the NFL this year. I

14
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:50,199
Speaker 2: thought on Thursday night, eph I'm like, well, that was

15
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 2: the game of the year, and it probably still was cool,

16
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 2: but it just got challenged. It just got challenged by

17
00:00:56,720 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 2: the Steelers and the Lions. The Steelers winning controversial fashion.

18
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 2: It sends the Bears and the forty nine Ers to

19
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 2: the playoffs. I'll describe the play for everyone, but I

20
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,279
Speaker 2: want to get kind of your reaction first.

21
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: What's your thought on what just played out.

22
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 3: I initially I was like, oh my gosh. When I

23
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,199
Speaker 3: saw the flags come out in the middle of the play,

24
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 3: I knew exactly what it was, but do you never

25
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 3: know for sure?

26
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 1: Correct?

27
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 3: And so for me, I was like, oh wow. At

28
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:42,039
Speaker 3: first I thought I'm and Rod fumbled and Jared you know,

29
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 3: caught it or picked it up and dove in. And

30
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 3: then I was saying, well, even if the play stands,

31
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 3: you can't advance a player's fumble.

32
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: Correct.

33
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 3: Another player can't advance to fumble in the fourth quarter, right,

34
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 3: And so when he he came on, I didn't know

35
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 3: what he was going to say. He was like, the

36
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 3: result of the play is a touchdown. I was like, what,

37
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 3: like time out.

38
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: But.

39
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 3: It's a past interference or you know, whatever he said happened,

40
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 3: and then the game's over all right.

41
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,919
Speaker 2: I was just talking to Mary about this. For those listening,

42
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 2: Mary runs our systems technical director, and I think she

43
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 2: excus lions, let's just put it that way. And we

44
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 2: were just talking about how I have to think for

45
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 2: a fan in the stands, that was the worst sort

46
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 2: of eleven second rollercoaster I've ever watched the officials take

47
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 2: the fans on. Imagine being in the stands and realizing,

48
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 2: if you win the football game, you still have a

49
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 2: healthy shot at the playoffs. If you don't, you don't like,

50
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 2: I know the Lions weren't eliminated today, but let's be real, well,

51
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 2: the Lions were eliminated. Yeah, so this is the way

52
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 2: the officials lay it out. Okay, it's fourth and goal

53
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 2: from what I think the nine nine yard line. They

54
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 2: hit Amanra right at the one. He gets hit immediately

55
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 2: and held out of the end zone. Flags fly, but

56
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 2: as they're pushing him away from the end zone, he

57
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 2: laterals to Jared Golf, who then runs by the nose

58
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 2: tackle of the Steelers, who I don't know if he

59
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,639
Speaker 2: was in celebration mode, if he hopped.

60
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: On Amazon to do some last minute shopping.

61
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 2: He just stands there and watches Golf go right by

62
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 2: him into the end zone.

63
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 1: Then there's a lengthy discussion about it.

64
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 2: And here's the way the official relayed this to the stands.

65
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, that's mean. He's like all right.

66
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 2: After discussion, the ruling on the field is touchdown, and

67
00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 2: the whole place goes crazy because touchdown, and many.

68
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 3: Goes However, what happened.

69
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 2: We got pass interference on the offense, and I know

70
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 2: what went through the minds of all the fans. Okay,

71
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 2: you're gonna take the penalty. And yes, we've got to

72
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 2: go backwards, but that means got one more shot at

73
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 2: the end zone. There's a problem though, the game can't

74
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 2: end on a defensive penalty. But the Lions are on

75
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 2: offense and the clock reads z RO, So yes, Lions,

76
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 2: you are technically allowed another play.

77
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: Oh wait, there's no time. The game is over.

78
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 2: So literally, in a span of eleven seconds, they got

79
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 2: taken from You won.

80
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: No, you didn't win, but you didn't lose yet. Actually,

81
00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: yes you did. You lost all just from listening to

82
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 1: a rap.

83
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, that fourth quarter was crazy, I know. I mean

84
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 3: it was just back and forth. It wasn't I was like,

85
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 3: it's that much time for everybody to score twice? Maybe

86
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:15,039
Speaker 3: it was it was something else, man, I tell you that.

87
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 3: You know Phil gold miss.

88
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, you got Boswell missing a chippy.

89
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 3: Miss with the handclap at the end, which is just nauseating.

90
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 3: And then you know, you get life. You got a

91
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 3: quarterback with a lively arm and you know, a couple

92
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,159
Speaker 3: penalties on that drive and you put them in position

93
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 3: to win the game. I mean, it's as simple as that.

94
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:49,039
Speaker 3: It's this is it was a crazy, crazy game.

95
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 2: Well, and we're not even bringing up that there was

96
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 2: a previous touchdown on the drive that was called back

97
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 2: because of a different offensive pass interference.

98
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: So I just from the play itself to.

99
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 2: The fact that it then played out the way that

100
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 2: we just described, I don't know that I've ever seen

101
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 2: a fan base get taken on that kind of a

102
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 2: ride in a short period of time. And he I mean, look,

103
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 2: it's sports, but I feel so bad for the Lions

104
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 2: fan base.

105
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:25,280
Speaker 1: It's unbelievable.

106
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 2: Man, it is unbelievable the way, first of all, what

107
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 2: they've been through for you know ever, but then followed

108
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 2: by the way that they have been.

109
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: Teased the last three years.

110
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 2: Having a seventeen point lead at halftime of the NFC

111
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 2: Championship game. Two years father's calling sons, moms calling daughters,

112
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 2: were going to the Super Bowl. No, you're not followed

113
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:52,359
Speaker 2: by a year where many thought you were absolutely the

114
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 2: best team. You get the one seed, home field advantage

115
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 2: throughout the playoffs, but when you get there, your defense

116
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 2: is just gonebsolutely ravaged by injury, and you get upset

117
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,679
Speaker 2: by the Washington Commanders and now.

118
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 3: This year brutalized.

119
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, this year you never you never looked like you

120
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 2: were the squad but it didn't occur to me until

121
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 2: two weeks ago that I'm like, oh my god, they

122
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 2: might not even make it at all.

123
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: And and and here we are.

124
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, the fall is fast. Damn it goes fast as

125
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 3: Kansas City. Yeap, that fall is is fast. You wake

126
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 3: up and you blink and you're like, oh snap, we're

127
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 3: we're in trouble.

128
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 1: We're out.

129
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 3: And the thing this year that's separated, you know, this

130
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 3: year in the race for the playoffs is there's parody.

131
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 3: Teams were showing up that had no business being in

132
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 3: the race.

133
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: Yep, Carolina, what are we doing? Right? Like?

134
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 3: The teams were teams were were around and they're and

135
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 3: part of it. And so it made any falter, any

136
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 3: bad week or a couple bad weeks more intense because

137
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 3: teams that were normally and you know, Miami went on

138
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 3: a four game win streak. It's like, wait, who, you

139
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 3: guys are supposed to be awful, right, Give us some

140
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 3: breathing room and then we can get our stuff together

141
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 3: coming down the last few weeks. It's not like that

142
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 3: every single week a team in the hunt are already in,

143
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:40,959
Speaker 3: you know, in position that game matters. This game is

144
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 3: about to play matters.

145
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 2: Big time, and so the Ravens flat out need this.

146
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 2: Oh well, yes, that's the way they have to place.

147
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 3: They have to have it.

148
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: Yeah.

149
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 2: The second team, the second group of people upset by

150
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 2: what just happened in Detroit outside of the Lions fans,

151
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 2: are the Baltimore Ravens. Yes, so they have to have

152
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 2: it tonight and they've got a very very difficult assignment.

153
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 3: And the that win puts the forty nine Ers in

154
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 3: the playoffs.

155
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 2: Andy, but he's in the last spot is now for

156
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 2: obviously that the Packers of the Lions as a wild card,

157
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:13,679
Speaker 2: and then to.

158
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 1: Figure out the NFCC.

159
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's it. That's it, like, and we already know

160
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 2: the Packers Lions thing. It's going to be the Packers,

161
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,199
Speaker 2: y So we we pretty much know the NFC playoffs.

162
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,199
Speaker 2: It's just a matter of who is gonna uh come

163
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 2: out of the NFC South number one? And uh, how

164
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:35,359
Speaker 2: are those seeds gonna play out? Because they could be anything,

165
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 2: they could be anything. The Seahawks and the forty nine

166
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 2: Ers both control their own destiny.

167
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: For the one.

168
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 2: Seed is just a lot. I can't believe the Lions

169
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 2: and the Chiefs.

170
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 1: Yep.

171
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 3: But look, supposed to be there. No, right when we

172
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 3: talk about these teams, was was Denver supposed to be

173
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 3: the number one scene going into the not this year,

174
00:09:58,040 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 3: not the one seed.

175
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:00,839
Speaker 1: I mean this week, you and I both thought that

176
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 1: that was a look.

177
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:04,680
Speaker 3: And you know what I said. I said, the two

178
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 3: coming out of that division would be the Chargers and

179
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 3: and the Broncos.

180
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 1: Yep, you did, and they are.

181
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 3: This is I was explaining to a good friend of mine,

182
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:21,439
Speaker 3: Jonathan Uh He's from Kansas City die or Kansas City

183
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:24,680
Speaker 3: Chiefs fan, and he was just perplexed on what happened.

184
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 3: And I said, it's not hard. I said, at the

185
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 3: beginning of the year, I prognosticated that Kansas City wouldn't

186
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 3: make the playoffs. Wow, could you do that? I said,

187
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 3: Look at the two teams in the Chargers and in

188
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:47,679
Speaker 3: the Broncos, who made the playoffs last year, who got

189
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 3: better another year under great coaching bo Nick's second year

190
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 3: in the league. Now Justin Herbert finally has a real

191
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:01,719
Speaker 3: viable coach who can make real game time coaching decisions.

192
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 3: I said, everything for those two teams were trending up.

193
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 3: When you look at the Kansas City Chiefs and their

194
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 3: eleven game win streak and one score games. As me,

195
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:20,840
Speaker 3: as a former player, know there's another side to that coin.

196
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 3: The following year. Your team is older. You had a

197
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:30,959
Speaker 3: receiver suspended for the first eight games, right, you had

198
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 3: no weapons outside and oh, by the way, you can't

199
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 3: run the ball. All of that for me was a

200
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 3: recipe for a disaster. Now, you don't win those one

201
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 3: score games. And they were one and six in one

202
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 3: score games this year. So me taking all that into

203
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 3: account at the beginning of the year, the two teams

204
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 3: on the rise in the division and this one team

205
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 3: who's played more games than any other team the last

206
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 3: five years, Yeah, I can see them missing the playoffs.

207
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 3: And this was pre Patrick Mahomes's injury. It was pretty

208
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 3: much done before the injury anyway, And he just was

209
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 3: he was sitting there like, and I said, guess what,

210
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 3: I don't think you guys are making it next year,

211
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 3: either whether Patrick comes back or not. Yeah right now, Yeah,

212
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 3: forty million over the cap, the team's going to be different.

213
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 3: Oh and guess what, that eighty million monster that was

214
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 3: sitting on Denver's cap is gone next year. So if

215
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 3: you guys are expecting to do things in free agency,

216
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 3: it's hard to do that when you're forty over the

217
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 3: cap already. The team that has room to maneuver and

218
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 3: money to play with now is the Broncos. And he

219
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 3: just was looking at me like, oh my god, I said,

220
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, man, don't I hate to be the bear

221
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 3: of bad news.

222
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 2: Got to deal with turnover, man, I mean, and they

223
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 2: were dying. Don't forget what did the bunch kids look

224
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 2: like for a few years.

225
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 1: You're gonna dip, you know what I mean?

226
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 2: Look around, look around it at all sports, you know, like,

227
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 2: look at look at what Golden State is going through

228
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 2: right now in the NBA, Like you're gonna get old,

229
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,679
Speaker 2: Your your money is gonna get out of whack. Maybe

230
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 2: that'll never happen to the Dodgers because they don't pay

231
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 2: any these players for another eighty two years. But outside

232
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 2: of that, this is what a dynasty looks like when

233
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 2: it expires.

234
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 1: And and and that's where we are. Now.

235
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,679
Speaker 2: Here's the craziest thing, maybe I must say, out of

236
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 2: all of it, though, Hee, we just talked about how

237
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 2: wild that Steelers Lions game was, and we didn't even

238
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 2: talk about the wildest thing that happened there. Goodness, so

239
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 2: We're gonna get to that coming up next, So glad

240

274
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 2: we'll also continue to talk out this Lion Steelers game

275
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 2: because well before there were controversial and crazy roller coaster endings,

276
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 2: there was wide receiver DK Metcalf getting into a conversation

277
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 2: in the first row with what I assume was a

278
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 2: Lions fan. Looked like you had blue hair, and at

279
00:15:56,840 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 2: the end of the conversation, DK basically through an open

280
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 2: handed punch and shot the fan in the face. Where's

281
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 2: this going next?

282
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, go ahead, fire away man.

283
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 3: This is bad, really bad, and this is all speculatory.

284
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 3: Just to be clear, I have no rule or say

285
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 3: so are persuasion of any kind or what's about to happen?

286
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 3: But I mean I can guess. I can give an

287
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 3: educated guess on what's about to happen. It's gonna cost

288
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 3: him in three ways, and it's gonna be an expensive lesson.

289
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 1: Yep.

290
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 3: Number one, he'll be fined by the league. I don't

291
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 3: know what that number will be, probably one hundred grand

292
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 3: or something like that. Number two, there's a likelihood he

293
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 3: gets suspended.

294
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 1: I think.

295
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 3: So Now, if it's a one game suspension, it'll cost

296
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 3: him about one point eight million dollars or one point yeah,

297
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 3: one point eight three million dollars. And then the third,

298
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 3: if the fan decides he wants to press charges, there's

299
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:32,679
Speaker 3: a civil lawsuit that can go anywhere from a million

300
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 3: to two and a half million dollars. So all in all,

301
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:40,160
Speaker 3: you're looking at in between three and five million dollars.

302
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 3: That's just and I could be completely off, but that's

303
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 3: what I see, Like, I don't. What you can't do

304
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:57,439
Speaker 3: is punch a fan. And now they're going to study

305
00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,879
Speaker 3: every angle. They're going to see why he went over there,

306
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:02,680
Speaker 3: what was going on? You're not even supposed to be

307
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 3: over there during the game. Number one, right, So there's

308
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,359
Speaker 3: a bunch in Look, I know DK is a friend

309
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 3: of mine. Oh, yeah, well really Yeah. So DK was

310
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:17,159
Speaker 3: getting into acting and he wanted to be in a

311
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:19,639
Speaker 3: TV show I was writing on called bell Air, so

312
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 3: I put him in bel Air. I know DK will

313
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 3: and so I'm disheartened by this because this is a friend,

314
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:35,119
Speaker 3: and so I hope none of those things happen, but

315
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:38,120
Speaker 3: there's a likelihood that they will.

316
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 1: Some of those things are happening. Yeah, I don't know

317
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:41,400
Speaker 1: about the lawsuit.

318
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure about the suspension and the fine is

319
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:50,920
Speaker 2: that's an absolute lock opening drive touchdown for the Baltimore Ravens.

320
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 2: Twenty one yard touchdown run Derrick Henry caps off a

321
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 2: drive that went quick and very effectively through the Patriots defense.

322
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 2: So great, great start for the Baltimore Ravens in a

323
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 2: game that they absolutely have to have and the Patriots

324
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 2: obviously would love to have it because with the Denver

325
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 2: loss today, that reopens the conversation for top seed and

326
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 2: home field advanced throughout the playoffs, and the Patriots with

327
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 2: a win tonight, will be twelve and three and right

328
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 2: back in that kind of shape. This this is one

329
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 2: of those situations.

330
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:26,400
Speaker 1: I think, this is what you mean.

331
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 2: This comes down to a lot more than just sort

332
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 2: of like what the league feels is the right penalty.

333
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,360
Speaker 2: That's how they look at a helmet to helmet hit,

334
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:44,119
Speaker 2: or you know, something like what Jamar Chase did a

335
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 2: few weeks ago. They're going to look at that and

336
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 2: they're gonna try to blend it up against other things

337
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 2: that have happened with other players in similar situations. There's precedent,

338
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:58,120
Speaker 2: and then president becomes the key word. This is different

339
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 2: than that because what they really don't want to do

340
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:04,360
Speaker 2: is allowed there to be any sort of a precedent set.

341
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 2: So this is one of those situations where a We're

342
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:13,639
Speaker 2: gonna look at what you did, but one hundred percent

343
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:20,119
Speaker 2: the league then says, we have to send an incredibly clear,

344
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:22,400
Speaker 2: firm message here.

345
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 3: And the fact that football is designed the way it

346
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:35,200
Speaker 3: is designed is to prevent situations like that. That's why

347
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:39,440
Speaker 3: it's a wall around the field and no one can

348
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 3: get to a player, so a player should never get

349
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 3: to a fan. It works both ways. Whatever that fan

350
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 3: was saying, it couldn't have been that bad.

351
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 1: Oh, it doesn't matter if it was.

352
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 3: To be honest with you, that's what I mean by

353
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 3: I couldn't. It could have been anything in the world.

354
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 3: But you can never make it that bad. And you know,

355
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 3: I just I had never said, I've never seen anything

356
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 3: like that before. Now I've had fan interactions before where

357
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:10,920
Speaker 3: we're going back and forth and all that, but I'm

358
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 3: in my designated area. They're in their area. Of course,

359
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 3: they don't like me and I don't care about them,

360
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 3: and you go back and forth and you do those

361
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 3: types of things. But to grab somebody by their shirt

362
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 3: or jersey or whatever that was and then send them

363
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:30,359
Speaker 3: off with a with a push punch or whatever it was,

364
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 3: it just, man, that's a bad look.

365
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:37,120
Speaker 1: It's really really rough. DK metcalf two is I mean,

366
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 1: I know everybody, not everybody, but just about everybody in

367
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:42,199
Speaker 1: the NFL very large man.

368
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 3: But with me, he is, dude, he is a giant.

369
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 3: I'm strong man, huge, chiseled too.

370
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 2: That is like, DK is one of those where I'm like,

371
00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,119
Speaker 2: if I was a defensive back, I don't think I

372
00:21:59,160 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 2: would want.

373
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 3: You want tackle him?

374
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 1: I don't want it, right, But if I'm a fan,

375
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 1: I mean.

376
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:08,639
Speaker 3: Fan cheered after right, the fan knew exactly what.

377
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 1: Oh.

378
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 3: Of course, of course that's what led me to believe that,

379
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,639
Speaker 3: oh he's going to milk the hell out.

380
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:16,680
Speaker 1: He was lawsuit.

381
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 3: Excited.

382
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:21,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, and look I have here's the thing, and I

383
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 2: understand the unfairness of this if you will there when

384
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 2: these situations happen, Russell Westbrook loves to you know.

385
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 1: Like you don't want to let any comment go.

386
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:34,919
Speaker 2: Like, all you got to do if you want Russell

387
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:36,639
Speaker 2: to come talk to you in the first row is

388
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 2: just yell out west Brick and he'll be there now.

389
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 1: He won't hit you in the face.

390
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 2: You'd love for everybody to put their rabbit ears away

391
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 2: and just be above it.

392
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 1: But I get it.

393
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 2: When the player fan interaction happens. At first blush, I'm like, well,

394
00:22:56,080 --> 00:23:00,439
Speaker 2: the fan's being an idiot, Like I assume that every

395
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 2: time the fan is out of line, the fans should

396
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 2: not say anything. The fan's an idiot. And then here's

397
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 2: the next thing. Too bad, doesn't matter, sorry, Like that's

398
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 2: part of being in the arena.

399
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 3: That's what comes with it.

400
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 1: That's what comes with it.

401
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:20,359
Speaker 3: And you know what comes with our show.

402
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,359
Speaker 1: Well, Steve, not right now.

403
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 3: Though, oh no right now, no, no, all right, now,

404
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 3: y'all lie to me then, Steve. Now, Steve snuck in

405
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 3: the back door right quite literally, we're looking eye to

406
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 3: eye with each other. Right now, as I gaze in

407
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 3: his cascading waterfall, eyes open.

408
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 1: I happily stand corrected.

409
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 3: I got it, man, I got it.

410
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 6: All I gotta say, is man, that Steelers Lions game

411
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:46,160
Speaker 6: went long?

412
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 1: You know.

413
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:52,399
Speaker 6: Jalen Warren, on only fourteen carries for Pittsburgh, had one

414
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 6: hundred and forty three yards and two touchdowns. You reference

415
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 6: the Lions apparent touchdown on the final play nullified by

416
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:04,200

417
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 6: eight and seven, Pittsburgh up to nine and six. Pittsburgh

418
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,760

421
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:20,920
Speaker 6: was great news for some others, not only the Bears

422
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:24,680
Speaker 6: just for general purposes, but the Chicago comeback win last night,

423

Speaker 6: Mahomes was out with his torn knee ligaments plural. Monday night,

473
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:23,119

474
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 6: will start again for the Colts, who've lost five of six.

475
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:28,639
Speaker 6: By the way, I mentioned the Chargers play this Saturday.

476
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:32,200
Speaker 6: There is a game this Saturday night. Green Bay hosts Baltimore.

477
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:36,160
Speaker 6: Next Sunday night, Chicago's at San Francisco. By the way,

478
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:39,440
Speaker 6: Packers quarterback Jordan Love does have a concussion after last

479
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 6: night's game, and the backup QB Malik Willis has a

480
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:45,880
Speaker 6: sore shoulder you wonder why they take a knee, Sometimes

481
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 6: it's because after this late sack the shoulder was injured

482
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:53,399
Speaker 6: and will he be able to start the upcoming weekend NBA,

483
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:56,919
Speaker 6: the Bulls won one fifty two to one fifty at

484

Speaker 6: Atlanta home wins for the Nets and the Knicks in

485
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 6: college hoops seventh rank and Saga over Oregon ninety one

486
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 6: to eighty two, and in the NHL overtime at Detroit,

487
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 6: Red Wings beat the Caps three to two. Once again

488
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 6: in the Sunday night NFL game, Baltimore mid first quarter

489
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:16,160
Speaker 6: leading at home against the New England Patriots seven to nothing.

490
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 6: Back to you.

491
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 1: Give me one good reason, Steven Ephrom one good reason

492
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:25,399
Speaker 1: why if Jordan Love and Malik Willis cannot play in

493
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:27,399
Speaker 1: light of what we're going to see tomorrow night on

494
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,399
Speaker 1: Monday Night football. Give me one good reason why the

495
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 1: Packers shouldn't call Brett Farvre. What I give you one

496
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 1: good reason, you kid, You've got no answer.

497
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,160
Speaker 3: I got an answer. What's he stole a bunch of

498
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 3: money from well, okay, okay, being an.

499
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 1: Awful human being in the fact that he should be

500
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 1: a jail parts.

501
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 2: That's a fair answer, but it's not well he's not

502
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 2: so Jeff Lacco got.

503
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 6: A little time today. Maybe they can work something out during.

504
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 1: I mean, Kurt Warner, Fran Tarkington, I mean are they They're.

505
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 6: All like money, right, Bart Starr not available?

506
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 2: Well unfortunately, but yeah, forty four years old?

507
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:07,960
Speaker 1: How old are you again?

508
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 3: A from I'm forty nine, man, dog. Yeah.

509
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 6: As soon as you said they ought of contact, my

510
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 6: first name that came to my mind was, you know,

511
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 6: Aaron Rodgers is still Aaron Rodgers.

512
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 2: Is an old guy who knows the packers away. Yes,

513
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 2: it's a good idea.

514
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 3: Hey man, Tom Brady, you know, hey, what.

515
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:31,240
Speaker 2: If Philip Rivers plays Aaron Rodgers in a playoff game

516
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 2: this year?

517
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 6: Oh my god, plausible set of record since George Blanda

518
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 6: was probably not quarterbacking late in his career, but I

519
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 6: played till almost fifty. I think kicking stopping the QB

520
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 6: but kicking unbelievable.

521
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 3: Steve, Well, Steve, how many penalties did you say the

522
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 3: Kansas City Chiefs had?

523
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 6: It was ten for them and twelve for Tennessee. It's

524
00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 6: and Tennessee, by the way, has the second worst.

525
00:29:58,520 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 3: Off of course in their bay.

526
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 6: But they had over three hundred and seventy five yards

527
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 6: in this game?

528
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 3: Is it me? Or is that flag all of a

529
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 3: sudden flying against the Chiefs?

530
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 1: Now that? Yeah? So like open season.

531
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 3: I mean they're not playing for anything now, they're making

532
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 3: mistakes opposed to the zero penalty games and the like.

533
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 3: I just I just look, I'm not a conspiracy theorist, no,

534
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:32,320
Speaker 3: but I'm just throwing things out. When you said that,

535
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 3: I was just like, huh, that's an ironic.

536
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 1: It's uh, it's an opportunity to level the averages out

537
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 1: one of those of the year. They'll be like.

538
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 3: No, like, no, no, no, Look, they just had their

539
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 3: head just as many.

540
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 2: The Chiefs are averaging five point two penalties game, just

541
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 2: like everybody else.

542
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:52,239
Speaker 6: The Chiefs are six and nine after today, And I

543
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 6: think the only positive to take from this as well,

544
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 6: they didn't lose a one possession game, because remember they

545
00:30:57,040 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 6: had that long streak of winning every one possession game

546
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 6: last year. They were eleven to zero in the close

547
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 6: games this year, one and seven in the one possession.

548
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 1: Well, I mean the Titans are tough.

549
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 3: They would have actually had to score, you know, slow down,

550
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 3: they're about to give away the first today, Raiders.

551
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 1: New York Giants. That's right now, Who's uh got the track?

552
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 6: Don't the Giants play the Raiders?

553
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 2: I believe they do? And and so yeah, that's the

554
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 2: top three table.

555
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 6: Both have lost nine in a row. Can we say

556
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:37,239
Speaker 6: Ashton Genty, the guy they drafted, was the guy on

557
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 6: the field at Houston today, phenomenal. Usually he's getting hit

558
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:44,480
Speaker 6: in the backfield and before he even gets to the

559
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 6: line of scrimmage he has to fight through things with

560
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 6: that line today, sensation Genty.

561
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:52,240
Speaker 1: I think when people are kind of they've gotten off

562
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 1: of his smoke a little bit, and I'm like, no,

563
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 1: I still.

564
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 3: Think he's that guy.

565
00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 2: I still think he's that guy, and he is just

566
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 2: situationally been putting the bat.

567
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 6: Just look at how bad the line is. They've allowed

568
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 6: the most sacks while being last in the league in rushing.

569
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 6: I mean, until today, it was about seventy yards a

570
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 6: game as a team on the ground and they've now

571
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 6: allowed fifty seven sacks this year.

572
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 3: Think about this. So this is semi finals for the

573
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 3: the playoffs football. Yes, and I had to buy last

574
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 3: week because.

575
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 1: I was show off fancy.

576
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 3: All right, guess guess who the two running backs are

577
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 3: that I'm playing against?

578
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 2: Ashton because that's who we're talking about. I felt very

579
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 2: confident there. The other one would be Chase Brown. No

580
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 2: oh no, no, no, Jayalen Moore.

581
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, wow, yeah, exactly wow.

582
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 1: Sorry about that, Yes, exactly right. I'm sorry.

583
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 3: Going into the game, it was like, you know how

584
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 3: they put the percentage chance and win. It was like

585
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 3: a seventy two chance went to win. Yeah.

586
00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 1: I have asked so many times for those percentage chances,

587
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 1: go away, go away. You know what you could do

588
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 1: with those percentage chances.

589
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:13,480
Speaker 2: You could box them up with the pre week projections

590
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 2: and send them to Mars.

591
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 1: Yes, I hate all of that.

592
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 6: Should never influence who you start or By the way,

593
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 6: of course, coming up right after you is Chris Plank,

594
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:28,160
Speaker 6: Oklahoma sideline reporter. He, more than anyone i've heard, hates

595
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:31,120
Speaker 6: those you know, percentage that you were talking about the

596
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 6: guestimate of whats what was the Oklahoma chances of winning

597
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:38,960
Speaker 6: by percentage when they were up seventeen to nothing and

598
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 6: destroying Alabama Friday night. Bama didn't even have a first

599
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 6: down at the time and down seventeen nothing, Well, there

600
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 6: were still more game to play, and then we had

601
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:49,719
Speaker 6: the Seahawks game Thursday, and then we had the crazy

602
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 6: Bear game Saturday, and then we had the Detroit game

603
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:54,200
Speaker 6: today where they nearly stole it at home.

604
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 2: I think that someone once said it's not over till

605
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 2: it's over. Somebody said that update.

606
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 6: Drake May is throwing an interception in the red zone.

607
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 6: So still bless more seven nothing in the first over

608
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:07,240
Speaker 6: the Patriots.

609
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:09,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was not a good one either. Like you know,

610
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 2: not all interceptions are built the same. It's kind of

611
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 2: a weird one. And so yeah, they at least gave

612
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:17,400
Speaker 2: away a field goal there, Steve, glad you're here. Great stuff,

626
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 2: I think you and I have talked a lot about Lamar,

627
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:17,400
Speaker 2: and over the last handful of weeks, I thought he

628
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 2: just looked like Lah in other words, about forty percent

629
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 2: of himself.

630
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 1: He only gets the LA and not the M A R.

631
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:27,040
Speaker 1: And now I.

632
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:29,759
Speaker 2: Think over the last two weeks he looks kind of

633
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:31,760
Speaker 2: like I'm gonna give him two more letters.

634
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:35,360
Speaker 1: He's gonna be Lama now. So I still don't think.

635
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 3: He's he'll touch.

636
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:44,799
Speaker 2: It might be that he's not one hundred percent. I'm

637
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:47,760
Speaker 2: gonna give about eighty percent of himself. He looks better.

638
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:50,080
Speaker 2: Don't you think he's starting to look.

639
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:50,600
Speaker 1: Better he started?

640
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:54,879
Speaker 2: Which is a scary sort of a thing to add

641
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:58,120
Speaker 2: into the AFC playoff mix if they were to be

642
00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:02,400
Speaker 2: able to get there, because let's not forget their Baltimore

643
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:06,800
Speaker 2: and and if everybody's like, yeah, Denver and New England

644
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 2: and look at this Jacksonville team and then all of

645
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:11,239
Speaker 2: a sudden, Baltimore.

646
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:14,280
Speaker 1: Derrek Henry fro dek Henry again.

647
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:19,040
Speaker 2: He's had a rough year, man, He's had some big

648
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:23,799
Speaker 2: He always waits for prime time. Many seems to wait

649
00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:27,879
Speaker 2: for Sunday night football to do that. Don't forget Thursday night,

650
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:30,960
Speaker 2: the first game of the year, and how that has

651
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:34,040
Speaker 2: an effect on where they're at right now. That game

652
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:37,960
Speaker 2: that they do, they would be eight and six right now.

653
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:45,800
Speaker 2: Oh and he just did it again to yep yep.

654
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:50,360
Speaker 1: So anyway, their path to the playoffs is difficult. But

655
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:54,800
Speaker 1: should they get there? Watch out man, watch out, because

656
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:57,880
Speaker 1: that's that's that's Lamar Jackson.

657
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:04,720
Speaker 3: And but you know, to be play Devil's advocate, go ahead.

658
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:10,080
Speaker 3: I mean, Lamar hasn't been great in the playoffs. No,

659
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:14,239
Speaker 3: and the watch out is we've been watching four Yeah,

660
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:18,600
Speaker 3: the watch out since he's been in the league. I

661
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:22,799
Speaker 3: guess we've never gotten it. So maybe this is the

662
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:30,800
Speaker 3: Bizarro year where they limp in and become a dominant team.

663
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 3: But he hasn't performed well. His His only knock is

664
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:40,600
Speaker 3: he doesn't have the postseason accolades to back up how

665
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:43,279
Speaker 3: great of a player he is. So would that put

666
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:46,399
Speaker 3: fear in you if you're playing the Baltimore Ravens, who

667
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:48,319
Speaker 3: struggle and possibly limp in.

668
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:48,960
Speaker 1: I don't know.

669
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:51,600
Speaker 2: I don't think fear is based solely on you know,

670
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 2: your your historical resume. Yes, Lamar Jackson scares me absolutely

671
00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:59,719
Speaker 2: if I'm a defensive coordinator. I mean, honestly, if I'm

672
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 2: going to you want to talk about playoff history, I'd

673
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:03,960
Speaker 2: much rather play Justin Herbert than Lamar Jackson.

674
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:07,279
Speaker 3: Justin Herbert won a playoff game.

675
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:10,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, you also lost one by being up by about

676
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:11,840
Speaker 2: twenty five points.

677
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:17,400
Speaker 3: No, that's not necessarily his fault. Yeah, hold on, memory,

678
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:21,800
Speaker 3: did he did Justin Herbert win a playoff game? Oh?

679
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:24,239
Speaker 2: My memory is telling me he's been there twice and

680
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 2: they're ower and two. Oh the Jacksonville game and they

681
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:29,600
Speaker 2: had the huge lead and they blew it.

682
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:36,760
Speaker 1: Yes, and then was it last year? Four picks against Houston? Why? Yeah?

683
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:39,840
Speaker 1: So like that's all I'm saying.

684
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 2: And I also think, just as an NFL fan, be

685
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:44,960
Speaker 2: a damn shame if Patrick Mahomes is not in the

686
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:48,880
Speaker 2: playoffs and Lamar doesn't get there yet, Like, don't you

687
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:50,960
Speaker 2: all want to see Lamar and Josh take a shot

688
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 2: without Patrick in the way.

689
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 3: Well yeah, I mean no, Joe Burrow, No, none of

690
00:38:55,040 --> 00:39:01,400
Speaker 3: the top tier elite quarterbacks outside of Josh Allen are

691
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:03,520
Speaker 3: on the cusp of the of the playoffs.

692
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:06,600
Speaker 1: You're exactly right, You're exactly right.

693
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:10,759
Speaker 3: This is a dawn of a new age. Are we

694
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:13,000
Speaker 3: turning the page to the young guns?

695
00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:13,279
Speaker 1: Well?

696
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:15,319
Speaker 2: What do you think it means? Are we turn you know,

697
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:18,360
Speaker 2: turn the page to the young guns? Or is something

698
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:19,319
Speaker 2: else running this shit?

699
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:25,239
Speaker 3: I think coaching has gotten better. Okay, when you look

700
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:29,480
Speaker 3: at New England and Mike Rabral coming back there to

701
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:32,440
Speaker 3: be the coach, they got better there. When you look

702
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 3: at Denver and Sean Payton coming over, they got better there.

703
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:42,520
Speaker 3: When you look at the Chargers and Hardball coming they

704
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:45,239
Speaker 3: got better. So when you're when you're parent and all

705
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:48,959
Speaker 3: of them have quarterbacks. So when you're pairing these young

706
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:55,400
Speaker 3: quarterbacks up with dynamic coaches, that's enough to shift the tie.

707
00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:56,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, it can be.

708
00:39:57,080 --> 00:40:01,439
Speaker 2: It can be because, like I mean, until the last

709
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:02,960
Speaker 2: couple of weeks, it's not like I thought.

710
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:04,479
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence was having a great year.

711
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:08,640
Speaker 2: But you're right, yeah, you know, yeah, But then we

712
00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:11,359
Speaker 2: look up eleven and four the Jaguars.

713
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:14,279
Speaker 1: How'd that happen? All? Right?

714
00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:18,400
Speaker 2: Three things here we go coming up next.

715
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:21,879
Speaker 1: You're listen, no Fox Sports.

716
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:26,279
Speaker 2: Off we go in the our number two Week sixteen

717
00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:29,120
Speaker 2: in the National Football League, and every single Sunday night

718
00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:31,200
Speaker 2: we get here and we're like, I think this one

719
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:35,160
Speaker 2: was crazier than the last one, and this one most

720
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:39,800
Speaker 2: definitely was sure. That Lion Steelers game is going to

721
00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:42,239
Speaker 2: grab you attention for the moment. Don't forget. A part

722
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:45,680
Speaker 2: of this week was that ram Seahawks game on Thursday night.

723
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 2: I'd love to go through that with you and some

724
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:51,239
Speaker 2: of the things that happened in that football game. And

725
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:54,799
Speaker 2: then obviously we also well, well we we had a

726
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:58,520
Speaker 2: player strike a fan today. So there's that here live

727
00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:01,719
Speaker 2: in these Fox Sports Radio studios. Before we get to

728
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:04,520
Speaker 2: three Things, where Ephram and I give you our top

729
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:09,560

736
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:38,319
Speaker 2: college basketball bracket challenge in March, we decided to do

737

Speaker 2: Okay, all right, you got time. I filled that out

753
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:36,760
Speaker 2: last night because I was like, oh, this is easy.

754
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:40,640
Speaker 2: There's only eight teams, like normally, right you get that,

755
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:42,440
Speaker 2: and you're like, oh, this is daunting, man, Like I

756
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:44,480
Speaker 2: think I'll do the East and the West bracket first

757
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:47,319
Speaker 2: and we'll deal with something else tomorrow. But there's only

758
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:49,680
Speaker 2: eight teams, so you could do this very very quickly,

759
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:52,879
Speaker 2: and we're gonna get to some of the college football stuff,

760
00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:55,840
Speaker 2: because I know everybody's all ticked off yesterday, so we

761
00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:56,839
Speaker 2: can get to that as well.

762
00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:58,879
Speaker 1: But right now, it's top for three things.

763
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:03,640
Speaker 2: Let's let's do it, top three observations of the entire

764
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:07,480
Speaker 2: NFL week. And I have already shown my hand. So

765
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:10,000
Speaker 2: here's what I'm gonna do, my top five dumb wide

766
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:13,399
Speaker 2: receiver moments of twenty twenty five. I'll do five and

767
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:16,440
Speaker 2: four as my first thing. I'll do three and two

768
00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 2: as my second thing, and then I'll leave number one

769
00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:23,280
Speaker 2: for the very end. So number five on my dumb

770
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:28,720
Speaker 2: wide Receivers of the Year goes to Pooka Nikua.

771
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:31,799
Speaker 1: Pooka Nikua, dude, you're phenomenal.

772
00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:35,719
Speaker 2: He is one of my favorite non forty nine ers

773
00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:41,920
Speaker 2: in the National Football League. Talented, tough, just absolutely love

774
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:46,600
Speaker 2: that dude. My man, stay off the podcast. Let's please,

775
00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:52,560
Speaker 2: let's not talk about race and ethnicity and religion and gender.

776
00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:55,480
Speaker 2: Please don't make fun of things. It's just not funny.

777
00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:58,279
Speaker 2: Just stay away from it. And even though sometimes you're

778
00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:02,520
Speaker 2: right about the refs, you're actually in this case you weren't,

779
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:06,440
Speaker 2: and you did it twice and you actually accused them

780
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:10,200
Speaker 2: of not just being wrong, but being out for themselves,

781
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:13,880
Speaker 2: which I think when you're a wide receiver who's set

782
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:18,160
Speaker 2: to make thirty five million dollars a year, it just

783
00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:22,160
Speaker 2: doesn't come off that well. So I don't want to

784
00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:24,279
Speaker 2: do that. You'll never hear me say shut up and

785
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:26,400
Speaker 2: dribble or shut up and catch the ball or anything

786
00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:28,960
Speaker 2: like that. You get to say whatever you want. But

787
00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:30,719
Speaker 2: I don't know, maybe not that well.

788
00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:33,880
Speaker 3: Like I always go back to this quote because I

789
00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:36,720
Speaker 3: think it's a fantastic quote. You know, Mama says stupid

790
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:43,560
Speaker 3: is stupid does Whatever your education level is, you can

791
00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:47,560
Speaker 3: sound dumb, whatever your education level is, you can your

792
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:53,319
Speaker 3: background whatever that is. You can sound dumb just by

793
00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:57,680
Speaker 3: not paying attention, not having a clue, and not how

794
00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:03,360
Speaker 3: knowing how to act and social situations and address different things.

795
00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:06,720
Speaker 3: There's a level of immaturity that's coming out of his mouth.

796
00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:12,160
Speaker 3: Are his thoughts that it's a turnoff. So look, focus

797
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:16,520
Speaker 3: on your craft and really think before you speak, because

798
00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:21,200
Speaker 3: you're coming off as an idiot, right and you're on

799
00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:24,520
Speaker 3: you're on the verge of superstardom like he is. He's

800
00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:25,440
Speaker 3: a superstar.

801
00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:29,240
Speaker 1: No, but I mean he's about to like get that contract, it's.

802
00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:30,919
Speaker 3: About to change his life. He's about to be making

803
00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:32,239
Speaker 3: thirty five million dollars a year.

804
00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:33,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I.

805
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:35,640
Speaker 2: Don't know if I were you make yourself marketable, dude,

806
00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:38,640
Speaker 2: because you're not right now, not right now, and you

807
00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:42,640
Speaker 2: keep doubling down on the stupidity totally, which really makes

808
00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:49,000
Speaker 2: me be like, oh okay, yeah, so number four. Congratulations

810
00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:59,239
Speaker 2: Things Wide Receiver list this year. Wow, he actually had

811
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:02,840
Speaker 2: a good game and they won. That doesn't usually happen.

812
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:07,719
Speaker 2: But this is sort of just a general complaining as

813
00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:12,000
Speaker 2: a Super Bowl champion slash follow up Division winner football team.

814
00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:15,240
Speaker 2: You and I've talked about this a lot, like, dude,

815
00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:16,640
Speaker 2: things are going well.

816
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:18,439
Speaker 1: Don't upset the Apple card.

817
00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:21,560
Speaker 2: Stop yelling at your quarterback, stop talking about it in

818
00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:26,320
Speaker 2: the media. Stop being full of discontent in a situation

819
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:28,359
Speaker 2: that doesn't call for it.

820
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:30,640
Speaker 1: So AJ Brown wins my number four.

821
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:36,680
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, I've always had, you know, it's the book thing.

822
00:46:37,239 --> 00:46:40,240
Speaker 3: I'm good. Yeah, the reading the book on the bench

823
00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:43,759
Speaker 3: and then spinning it into this you know, s help

824
00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:47,400
Speaker 3: help self help situation. No, no, no, no, we're not

825
00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:47,799
Speaker 3: doing that.

826
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:48,000
Speaker 1: Man.

827
00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:50,920
Speaker 3: I was there. I know what the bench situation is,

828
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:55,360
Speaker 3: and if I ever walked by anybody on it reading

829
00:46:55,400 --> 00:47:02,120
Speaker 3: a reading outside literature during the game after, I know

830
00:47:02,640 --> 00:47:06,200
Speaker 3: how you feel. The malcontent you're feeling about of you know,

831
00:47:06,239 --> 00:47:09,719
Speaker 3: the offensive production and certain things. No, bro, you you

832
00:47:09,719 --> 00:47:12,640
Speaker 3: guys sell that to somebody else. So he lost me there,

833
00:47:13,960 --> 00:47:17,760
Speaker 3: So I get that. All right, your turn, take it away.

834
00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:22,919
Speaker 3: I want to say the Jaguars are are for real.

835
00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:27,360
Speaker 3: I've been hypercritical. I think we both have been hyper

836
00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:30,719
Speaker 3: critical on the Jaguars even when they were winning. We

837
00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:37,560
Speaker 3: all just felt like they're winning despite are in spite

838
00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:40,560
Speaker 3: of Trevor Lawrence and some of the things he's done.

839
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:43,560
Speaker 3: But the last few weeks, Trevor Lawrence has been playing

840
00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:48,360
Speaker 3: out of his mind. Today he was phenomenal two seventy

841
00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:53,600
Speaker 3: nine passing, three touchdowns, no interceptions. You know, twenty three

842
00:47:53,800 --> 00:48:00,600
Speaker 3: thirty six. He's playing. They're getting better. And this was

843
00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:04,720
Speaker 3: a big test for me watching them play a team

844
00:48:04,760 --> 00:48:08,440
Speaker 3: that was red hot, a team that is first place

845
00:48:09,160 --> 00:48:14,120
Speaker 3: in the AFC, and so I was like, Okay, well,

846
00:48:14,160 --> 00:48:17,360
Speaker 3: let's see if these guys are for real. Let's see

847
00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:20,480
Speaker 3: if the Jaguars are for real. And they are, which

848
00:48:20,560 --> 00:48:22,760
Speaker 3: caused me to go back and look at their schedule,

849
00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:24,759
Speaker 3: and I'm like, Okay, well who have they beat? Who

850
00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:28,160
Speaker 3: are they beaten? And so as I'm looking at the schedule, Okay,

851
00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:32,040
Speaker 3: they beat the Jeeves, Okay, they beat the Okay, they

852
00:48:32,080 --> 00:48:37,000
Speaker 3: beat the Raiders, But I don't counta They beat the Chargers,

853
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:39,759
Speaker 3: they beat the forty nine ers, they beat the Colts.

854
00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:44,279
Speaker 3: So now I'm like, oh, wait a minute, huh have

855
00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:46,840
Speaker 3: they been good this whole time? Has it just looked

856
00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:50,520
Speaker 3: ugly right now? I think they're the most dangerous team

857
00:48:50,640 --> 00:48:53,759
Speaker 3: coming down the stretch. I don't know if you want

858
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:56,520
Speaker 3: to strap up against. I know the Colts are vying

859
00:48:56,560 --> 00:49:03,160
Speaker 3: for a position they play next week Sunday, and for

860
00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:06,160
Speaker 3: all intent's purposes, if they can't move if they win

861
00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:08,000
Speaker 3: that game and they can't move up in the ringings,

862
00:49:08,080 --> 00:49:11,839
Speaker 3: I doubt if any of their guys play against the Titans. So,

863
00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:18,400
Speaker 3: you know, shout out to the Jacksonville Jaguars for showing

864
00:49:18,480 --> 00:49:21,280
Speaker 3: up and improving a lot of naysayers wrong, including myself.

865
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:23,600
Speaker 2: Yep, I love it and I share that with you

866
00:49:23,719 --> 00:49:27,280
Speaker 2: and our industry and sports media in general is filled

867
00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:29,759
Speaker 2: with a lot of people that want to stand up

868
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:30,400
Speaker 2: and tell.

869
00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:33,600
Speaker 1: You whenever they were right, and whenever they were wrong,

870
00:49:33,760 --> 00:49:36,040
Speaker 1: they just want to move on to the next subject.

871
00:49:36,560 --> 00:49:38,920
Speaker 1: So I appreciate you bringing it up because I stand

872
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:42,040
Speaker 1: right there next to you in the wrongness right now

873
00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:45,000
Speaker 1: of what that team has been able to achieve, and

874
00:49:45,440 --> 00:49:50,520
Speaker 1: quite frankly, even how real it is doesn't even necessarily matter.

875
00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:54,759
Speaker 1: The achievement is the achievement. You're eleven and four. You

876
00:49:54,960 --> 00:49:56,120
Speaker 1: just listed the wins.

877
00:49:56,200 --> 00:49:59,279
Speaker 2: They have none more impressive than how dominant they were

878
00:49:59,280 --> 00:49:59,719
Speaker 2: on the road.

879
00:49:59,760 --> 00:50:01,520
Speaker 1: Again, it's Denver's defense today.

880
00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:05,080
Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't know what argument you've got

881
00:50:05,160 --> 00:50:09,400
Speaker 2: left to say that the Jags are not a competitor

882
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:10,879
Speaker 2: for this thing, no doubt about it.

883
00:50:11,200 --> 00:50:14,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, they are definitely a competitor.

884
00:50:16,280 --> 00:50:21,759
Speaker 2: Okay, number three on my dumb wide Receiver Things of

885
00:50:21,880 --> 00:50:26,200
Speaker 2: the Year twenty twenty six. Congratulations too. And I struggled

886
00:50:26,239 --> 00:50:28,440
Speaker 2: with this because I wanted to move them up even further.

887
00:50:29,440 --> 00:50:33,600
Speaker 2: But Jamar Chase, because you and I went over this

888
00:50:33,640 --> 00:50:39,120
Speaker 2: a few weeks ago and I hadn't fully seen I'll

889
00:50:39,120 --> 00:50:41,080
Speaker 2: never forget the take that I had where I was

890
00:50:41,160 --> 00:50:47,240
Speaker 2: kind of coming down the road of gosh, he's escaping

891
00:50:47,320 --> 00:50:51,520
Speaker 2: my name right now. The defender that Jamar spit on

892
00:50:53,239 --> 00:50:57,919
Speaker 2: but Jalen, thank you, thank you. Jalen Ramsey. I kind

893
00:50:57,920 --> 00:50:59,880
Speaker 2: of came down the road to Jaylen Ramsey because Jalen

894
00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:04,480
Speaker 2: as a history of getting ahead of his skis and uh,

895
00:51:04,520 --> 00:51:06,880
Speaker 2: and I don't think his play matches up with it anymore.

896
00:51:06,920 --> 00:51:09,640
Speaker 2: But then we kind of went back through everything that happened,

897
00:51:10,040 --> 00:51:14,600
Speaker 2: and Yeah, there's nothing more disrespectful. There's nothing more gross

898
00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:19,480
Speaker 2: than than doing what Jamar Chase did in that game

899
00:51:19,800 --> 00:51:25,120
Speaker 2: Bengals and Steelers. Spitting in another human beings face is

900
00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:27,759
Speaker 2: flat out it's unforgivable.

901
00:51:29,080 --> 00:51:31,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I I I second that that's probably one of

902
00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:33,360
Speaker 3: the worst things you can do to a person, to

903
00:51:33,360 --> 00:51:36,280
Speaker 3: spit on them. That's worse than a punch, a slap

904
00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:39,080
Speaker 3: or anything like that. It's just number one is just discussed,

905
00:51:39,840 --> 00:51:42,440
Speaker 3: and it's disrespectful at the highest level. And if you

906
00:51:42,520 --> 00:51:46,800
Speaker 3: spit on me, brother, we about to throw hands and

907
00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:49,960
Speaker 3: and and and I'm not mad at at. I'm really

908
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:56,359
Speaker 3: not mad at Jalen Jalen Jayalen Ramsey. I'm not mad

909
00:51:56,920 --> 00:52:01,200
Speaker 3: because that's what that action warrants. That's what me to

910
00:52:01,239 --> 00:52:05,120
Speaker 3: snatch your eyeballs at your helmet. And so that's one

911
00:52:05,160 --> 00:52:07,360
Speaker 3: of the most disrespectful things you could do to a person.

912
00:52:08,360 --> 00:52:11,560
Speaker 2: Okay, now this one's kind of fresh and new. So

913
00:52:11,960 --> 00:52:16,720
Speaker 2: number two congratulations on the dumb wide receiver things list

914
00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:19,600
Speaker 2: of twenty twenty six. Number two goes to a wide

915
00:52:19,640 --> 00:52:21,399
Speaker 2: receiver who hasn't even played a game this year.

916
00:52:21,600 --> 00:52:25,320
Speaker 1: How about that? Welcome to the party, Brandon Ayuk.

917
00:52:25,920 --> 00:52:29,719
Speaker 2: Now, you and I talked about this at length over

918
00:52:29,760 --> 00:52:32,440
Speaker 2: the last couple of weeks. I'll let you know that

919
00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:36,680
Speaker 2: our mutual friend who was Brandon's personal wide receiver coach,

920
00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:40,960
Speaker 2: TJ Huschmanzada, came on my show in the Bay Area

921
00:52:41,040 --> 00:52:45,120
Speaker 2: this week and for years he's been talking to us

922
00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:48,640
Speaker 2: about Brandon and often, as you would expect, kind of

923
00:52:48,680 --> 00:52:51,840
Speaker 2: presents the world through the eyes of Brandon. And for

924
00:52:51,880 --> 00:52:55,480
Speaker 2: the first time this week he flat out was like, ba,

925
00:52:57,120 --> 00:53:00,440
Speaker 2: I have no idea what you're doing. You're too hard headed.

926
00:53:01,200 --> 00:53:04,480
Speaker 2: Once you're stuck on this opinion, you won't leave. I'm

927
00:53:04,520 --> 00:53:07,279
Speaker 2: trying to advise him otherwise, and I can promise you

928
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:12,479
Speaker 2: that when you're my age, this is TJ talking, you're

929
00:53:12,520 --> 00:53:14,520
Speaker 2: really gonna regret this man.

930
00:53:14,600 --> 00:53:16,080
Speaker 1: You left something in the neighborhood.

931
00:53:16,120 --> 00:53:18,320
Speaker 2: Depending on how you look at it, twenty five thirty

932
00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:22,200
Speaker 2: thirty five million dollars on the table after you fought

933
00:53:22,239 --> 00:53:25,120
Speaker 2: so hard for this last year. And by the way,

934
00:53:25,640 --> 00:53:29,720
Speaker 2: that opinion was all being shared prior to what Brandon

935
00:53:29,760 --> 00:53:33,799
Speaker 2: did yesterday, which was post a YouTube video of him

936
00:53:33,840 --> 00:53:36,960
Speaker 2: testing out a new fancy car, and then when he

937
00:53:37,080 --> 00:53:40,799
Speaker 2: tests it out, he decides to take video of him

938
00:53:40,920 --> 00:53:45,680
Speaker 2: driving by Levi Stadium at very high speeds. Now, I

939
00:53:45,680 --> 00:53:47,960
Speaker 2: do want to let everyone know the whole idea that

940
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:49,359
Speaker 2: it was one hundred miles an hour.

941
00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:50,080
Speaker 1: It wasn't.

942
00:53:50,480 --> 00:53:53,439
Speaker 2: It was an It was over one hundred kilometers per hour,

943
00:53:53,840 --> 00:53:56,400
Speaker 2: but it sort of works out to driving about sixty

944
00:53:56,400 --> 00:53:58,200
Speaker 2: five or seventy and a forty zone.

945
00:53:58,400 --> 00:54:02,520
Speaker 1: Bottom line, unsafe. You're taking a video of it, you're.

946
00:54:02,440 --> 00:54:06,560
Speaker 2: Trolling, You're doing all of the wrong things right now,

947
00:54:06,600 --> 00:54:09,720
Speaker 2: because once again, what are you doing, dude, You're only

948
00:54:09,800 --> 00:54:13,120
Speaker 2: hurting yourself. The forty nine ers are going to the playoffs.

949
00:54:13,400 --> 00:54:16,680
Speaker 2: They are not worried about your YouTube channel. But I

950
00:54:16,880 --> 00:54:19,919
Speaker 2: tell you who is potential employers next year.

951
00:54:21,160 --> 00:54:24,160
Speaker 1: Somebody's got to get to this guy.

952
00:54:22,480 --> 00:54:27,719
Speaker 3: He's got too much money already. Now it's over, He's

953
00:54:27,719 --> 00:54:29,600
Speaker 3: gonna be what he's gonna be, but he will be

954
00:54:29,640 --> 00:54:31,799
Speaker 3: one of those cautionary tales. It happens all the time,

955
00:54:31,840 --> 00:54:34,480
Speaker 3: We see it all the time, and it is what

956
00:54:34,520 --> 00:54:36,920
Speaker 3: it is. Guess what, the world will continue to move on,

957
00:54:37,040 --> 00:54:40,600
Speaker 3: teams will continue to play and win, and he'll be,

958
00:54:41,239 --> 00:54:44,200
Speaker 3: you know, kicking himself. Yep, And he'll have the answer

959
00:54:45,360 --> 00:54:48,520
Speaker 3: for these immature decisions he's making right now.

960
00:54:48,800 --> 00:54:49,359
Speaker 1: And that's it.

961
00:54:49,600 --> 00:54:52,160
Speaker 3: You get what you get, man, You get what you earn. Brother,

962
00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:57,960
Speaker 3: that's what the universe teaches you. You get what you earn. Amen, Amen,

963
00:54:58,719 --> 00:54:59,960
Speaker 3: uh is me? Is me now?

964
00:55:00,160 --> 00:55:00,720
Speaker 1: Far away?

965
00:55:01,320 --> 00:55:09,880
Speaker 3: The Stellers. I think no team has been talked about

966
00:55:11,160 --> 00:55:16,400
Speaker 3: as much as the Stellers have been this year. And

967
00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:20,880
Speaker 3: that's good and bad. That's fire or not fire. Time

968
00:55:20,960 --> 00:55:21,480
Speaker 3: to move on?

969
00:55:21,719 --> 00:55:22,000
Speaker 1: Are not?

970
00:55:22,160 --> 00:55:25,319
Speaker 3: Time to move on? Time to retire? Are not time

971
00:55:25,360 --> 00:55:29,040
Speaker 3: to retire? Who are they? What are they doing? What

972
00:55:29,200 --> 00:55:30,600
Speaker 3: happened to TJ? Watt?

973
00:55:30,800 --> 00:55:30,920
Speaker 1: Like?

974
00:55:31,040 --> 00:55:35,840
Speaker 3: All kinds of things are going on with the Pittsburgh Stellers.

975
00:55:36,160 --> 00:55:39,080
Speaker 3: And when you look up, with two games left to go,

976
00:55:39,600 --> 00:55:44,040
Speaker 3: they're nine to six, first place in the division and

977
00:55:44,160 --> 00:55:47,520
Speaker 3: have a chance to All they have to do is

978
00:55:47,600 --> 00:55:53,000
Speaker 3: win and they'll be representing the division in the playoffs

979
00:55:53,200 --> 00:55:56,880
Speaker 3: with the home game. The thing I really want to

980
00:55:56,920 --> 00:56:01,239
Speaker 3: point out is when they won that miraculous game, we

981
00:56:01,320 --> 00:56:03,759
Speaker 3: just saw how it ended against Detroit in Detroit, tough

982
00:56:03,760 --> 00:56:09,439
Speaker 3: place to play, essentially putting Detroit unless some miracle things

983
00:56:09,480 --> 00:56:15,120
Speaker 3: happen out of the playoffs. Walking off the field was

984
00:56:15,160 --> 00:56:20,520
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers, Mike Tomlin in the middle, and Cam Hayward

985
00:56:20,960 --> 00:56:26,799
Speaker 3: walking in solidarity together off the field. Now, to me,

986
00:56:26,960 --> 00:56:30,920
Speaker 3: that resonates. That means something because all of the noise

987
00:56:32,160 --> 00:56:35,719
Speaker 3: that we've been privy to and that we've added to

988
00:56:37,760 --> 00:56:41,400
Speaker 3: that symbol right there was letting us know or no,

989
00:56:41,560 --> 00:56:44,280
Speaker 3: we got each other. We don't care what you guys

990
00:56:44,320 --> 00:56:48,040
Speaker 3: think of, what you guys say or what you guys want.

991
00:56:48,400 --> 00:56:53,840
Speaker 3: Offenses with him, defenses with him, and he's with us,

992
00:56:54,560 --> 00:56:58,160
Speaker 3: and now they're in position to get a home playoff game,

993
00:56:58,560 --> 00:57:00,680
Speaker 3: and who knows what can happen after this that so

994
00:57:00,840 --> 00:57:05,480
Speaker 3: shout out to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Aaron Rodgers had we

995
00:57:05,560 --> 00:57:09,840
Speaker 3: had a good game, defense showed up, tough game. Detroit's

996
00:57:09,840 --> 00:57:14,279
Speaker 3: a tough out, especially at home, and so you know,

997
00:57:14,440 --> 00:57:16,800
Speaker 3: there's no telling what this is going to look like

998
00:57:16,840 --> 00:57:19,760
Speaker 3: if they eventually end up being in the playoffs. This

999
00:57:19,840 --> 00:57:20,560
Speaker 3: may be the year.

1000
00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:25,439
Speaker 2: I just don't know what kind of magic juice Mike

1001
00:57:25,480 --> 00:57:30,000
Speaker 2: Tomlin drinks every morning. But you could threaten to fire

1002
00:57:30,040 --> 00:57:33,200
Speaker 2: them all you want, and I'm allowed to sit here

1003
00:57:33,280 --> 00:57:38,040
Speaker 2: across the country and think you're nuts. Like, if you

1004
00:57:38,120 --> 00:57:40,960
Speaker 2: want to get into player personnel conversation the way the

1005
00:57:40,960 --> 00:57:42,600
Speaker 2: Steelers have gone.

1006
00:57:42,320 --> 00:57:43,880
Speaker 1: About all of that, that's fine.

1007
00:57:44,320 --> 00:57:46,880
Speaker 2: The bottom line is, once the whole thing is set,

1008
00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:49,280
Speaker 2: all the coach can do is coach what he's got

1009
00:57:49,760 --> 00:57:52,080
Speaker 2: and the and the truth of the matter is that

1010
00:57:52,120 --> 00:57:53,680
Speaker 2: a Steeler fan may not want to hear.

1011
00:57:54,040 --> 00:57:58,120
Speaker 1: They overachieve every year, every year, every single.

1012
00:57:57,960 --> 00:58:01,640
Speaker 3: Despite another year of not having having a losing record,

1013
00:58:01,840 --> 00:58:03,840
Speaker 3: and we thought that was coming to an end.

1014
00:58:04,400 --> 00:58:07,960
Speaker 1: We always do, and it's not here yet.

1015
00:58:08,600 --> 00:58:10,840
Speaker 2: All right, I'll be quick with my number one because

1016
00:58:10,880 --> 00:58:12,920
Speaker 2: it's an obvious one and we've already talked about it.

1017
00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:14,840
Speaker 1: The number one dumb wide.

1018
00:58:14,520 --> 00:58:19,160
Speaker 2: Receiver moment of twenty six, twenty twenty five, I should say,

1019
00:58:19,200 --> 00:58:22,640
Speaker 2: happened earlier today in Detroit when DK Metcalf put his

1020
00:58:22,720 --> 00:58:25,680
Speaker 2: hand on a fan shoved him in the face. After

1021
00:58:25,720 --> 00:58:28,720
Speaker 2: a brief discussion in the first row, you pointed it out.

1022
00:58:28,800 --> 00:58:30,960
Speaker 2: He never should have been over there in the first place.

1023
00:58:31,040 --> 00:58:33,479
Speaker 2: He was, He never should have done what he did

1024
00:58:33,840 --> 00:58:36,720
Speaker 2: he did. It's going to be a large fine. I

1025
00:58:36,760 --> 00:58:39,200
Speaker 2: think it's going to be a suspension. And Ephraim, I

1026
00:58:39,200 --> 00:58:41,920
Speaker 2: don't think the NFL will do this because it's one

1027
00:58:41,960 --> 00:58:44,480
Speaker 2: of their biggest players for one of their biggest brands.

1028
00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:48,320
Speaker 2: But let me just phrase it this way. I'd understand

1029
00:58:48,320 --> 00:58:51,360
Speaker 2: if you kicked him out for the year. I really would,

1030
00:58:51,960 --> 00:58:56,680
Speaker 2: because this isn't about what's right and fair in the moment.

1031
00:58:56,760 --> 00:58:59,120
Speaker 2: I'm sure the guy said something to him that didn't

1032
00:58:59,200 --> 00:59:02,800
Speaker 2: feel good. I'm sure the fan was wrong too, But

1033
00:59:02,920 --> 00:59:05,439
Speaker 2: these are the rules. The message needs to be sent.

1034
00:59:05,840 --> 00:59:09,720
Speaker 2: You absolutely can't cross that line. He crossed that line.

1035
00:59:10,120 --> 00:59:13,520
Speaker 2: And we know DK runs hot, and he ran hot again,

1036
00:59:14,120 --> 00:59:18,600
Speaker 2: And this is the absolute biggest no no there is

1037
00:59:19,320 --> 00:59:20,640
Speaker 2: as a professional athlete.

1038
00:59:21,800 --> 00:59:29,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is a sad situation. It's not it's funny,

1039
00:59:29,360 --> 00:59:32,520
Speaker 3: it's not cute, it's not anything. It's dangerous and it

1040
00:59:32,560 --> 00:59:37,760
Speaker 3: shouldn't ever happen. It shouldn't never happen. It's out of control.

1041
00:59:38,640 --> 00:59:40,400
Speaker 3: I don't care what you got to say up there.

1042
00:59:40,720 --> 00:59:45,600
Speaker 3: That's why you up there. You don't walk over to

1043
00:59:45,720 --> 00:59:48,200
Speaker 3: a fan no matter what, dispensely doing the game, like what,

1044
00:59:48,240 --> 00:59:50,560
Speaker 3: don't even be over there, right, So you know it's

1045
00:59:50,560 --> 00:59:53,200
Speaker 3: gonna play out how it's gonna play out. I wish

1046
00:59:53,280 --> 00:59:54,840
Speaker 3: all the best for him, man, I hope he really

1047
00:59:54,880 --> 00:59:59,560
Speaker 3: learns because it's gonna be expensive. My final one YEP

1048
00:59:59,760 --> 01:00:05,919
Speaker 3: is shout out to Anthony Joshua, former heavyweight champion who

1049
01:00:06,280 --> 01:00:10,240
Speaker 3: took on the challenge of Jake Paul, the YouTube Superstar

1050
01:00:11,160 --> 01:00:15,920
Speaker 3: fight promoter, and it's kind of re energized what live

1051
01:00:16,680 --> 01:00:20,760
Speaker 3: sporting boxing entertainment is. I will tell you this. They

1052
01:00:20,760 --> 01:00:25,680
Speaker 3: put on a good show, but Jake Paul finally a

1053
01:00:25,800 --> 01:00:27,520
Speaker 3: bit off more than he can show. Now he can't

1054
01:00:27,600 --> 01:00:30,160
Speaker 3: chew at all because Anthony Joshua broke his jaw.

1055
01:00:31,040 --> 01:00:32,280
Speaker 1: He's gonna lose some weight now.

1056
01:00:32,400 --> 01:00:35,000
Speaker 3: So yeah, so he just had surgery to day to

1057
01:00:35,120 --> 01:00:38,920
Speaker 3: fix his broken jaw. And so sometimes your mouth writes

1058
01:00:39,000 --> 01:00:43,280
Speaker 3: checks that your jaw can't cash. And so shout out

1059
01:00:43,320 --> 01:00:49,000
Speaker 3: to Anthony Joshua. No big feet. Of course he was

1060
01:00:49,040 --> 01:00:51,880
Speaker 3: a favorite to win, but it was also it's always

1061
01:00:51,920 --> 01:00:54,000
Speaker 3: good when you can put your fist in someone's mouth.

1062
01:00:54,480 --> 01:00:59,640
Speaker 3: We talks a little bit too much legally, legally indeed right,

1063
01:01:00,320 --> 01:01:03,840
Speaker 3: not the DK Metcalfway, but the legal way. And so

1064
01:01:04,960 --> 01:01:07,080
Speaker 3: it just it was entertaining. It was good, the whole car.

1065
01:01:07,120 --> 01:01:11,280
Speaker 3: It was great. So shout out to Anthony Joshua, welcome

1066
01:01:11,320 --> 01:01:13,800
Speaker 3: back and he looking for Tyson Fury Now.

1067
01:01:14,240 --> 01:01:15,400
Speaker 1: I love it. Great stuff.

1068
01:01:15,440 --> 01:01:18,480
Speaker 2: Speaking of entertaining, I was told all day yesterday that

1069
01:01:18,520 --> 01:01:19,680
Speaker 2: the college football was not.

1070
01:01:20,400 --> 01:01:24,160
Speaker 1: So let's get to let's get to that a little bit.

1071
01:01:24,960 --> 01:01:26,960
Speaker 2: And I think there's a larger now that we got

1072
01:01:26,960 --> 01:01:29,800
Speaker 2: the wide receiver stuff off our chest, I think there's

1073
01:01:29,840 --> 01:01:32,800
Speaker 2: a larger conversation about the position.

1074
01:01:32,400 --> 01:01:34,320
Speaker 1: That we'd love to have. So we'll do that around

1075
01:01:34,320 --> 01:01:35,160
Speaker 1: the bend as well.

Speaker 3: can Steph Curry your way through the tournament. But eventually

01:02:55,320 --> 01:02:57,240
Speaker 3: you can Jimmer for Debt your way through the tournament.

1098
01:02:57,320 --> 01:03:00,160
Speaker 3: In basketball, your hot guy gets hot. But when you're

Speaker 6: his team was down thirteen three in the first half

1155
01:06:05,440 --> 01:06:08,160
Speaker 6: wound up winning on the road. Arizona has lost seven

1156
01:06:08,400 --> 01:06:12,080
Speaker 6: straight and Marvin Harrison Junior had just one catch and

1157

Speaker 6: going off in recent weeks two catches, one touchdown. They

1159
01:06:18,640 --> 01:06:20,720
Speaker 6: got used to the field goal attempts. Cards were four

1160
01:06:20,800 --> 01:06:24,720
Speaker 6: for six on field goal attempts. Lost at home Buffalo one,

1161

1175
01:07:13,520 --> 01:07:15,920
Speaker 6: are the worst passing team in the league, under one

1176
01:07:16,000 --> 01:07:19,560
Speaker 6: hundred and fifty passing yards per game their average, and

1177
01:07:19,600 --> 01:07:22,800
Speaker 6: by the way, the defense still has no interceptions this year.

1178
01:07:23,560 --> 01:07:27,080
Speaker 6: For that season, an NFL team has no interceptions, as

1179
01:07:27,120 --> 01:07:31,200
Speaker 6: we had toward Christmas. Cincinnati won at Miami forty five

1180
01:07:31,360 --> 01:07:35,960

1182
01:07:38,840 --> 01:07:41,520

1183
01:07:41,560 --> 01:07:44,160
Speaker 6: with only one hundred thirty three total yards. In fact,

01:07:51,880 --> 01:07:55,320
Speaker 6: Gardner Minshew left with a knee injury, a possible torn

1187
01:07:55,440 --> 01:08:00,360
Speaker 6: acl Meanwhile, we've got an update on the game at Baltimore.

1188
01:08:00,120 --> 01:08:01,960
Speaker 3: Show Yes we do.

1189
01:08:02,120 --> 01:08:05,480

1190
01:08:06,160 --> 01:08:09,000
Speaker 6: The Ravens have just kicked a thirty six yard field goal.

1191
01:08:09,160 --> 01:08:12,640
Speaker 6: The game is even ten ten Ravens and Patriots again

1192
01:08:12,760 --> 01:08:13,800
Speaker 6: nearing halftime.

1193
01:08:13,960 --> 01:08:16,240
Speaker 3: In that one, he came out of the game. He

1194
01:08:16,280 --> 01:08:17,200
Speaker 3: didn't pay that dry.

1195
01:08:17,400 --> 01:08:18,559
Speaker 1: He did not do third down.

1196
01:08:18,640 --> 01:08:21,760
Speaker 2: Tyler Honley did third down, so some some something is

1197
01:08:21,840 --> 01:08:23,800
Speaker 2: up and he does not look to be in a

1198
01:08:23,920 --> 01:08:25,360
Speaker 2: very comfortable state right now.

1199
01:08:25,400 --> 01:08:27,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was third and long and Huntley with a

1200
01:08:27,240 --> 01:08:29,720
Speaker 6: pass and they settled for the field goal. Jackson one

Speaker 6: ten in the NBA A Final at Minnesota, another win

1203
01:08:36,560 --> 01:08:38,920
Speaker 6: for the Timberwolves one oh three to one hundred over

01:08:38,960 --> 01:08:41,880
Speaker 6: the Bucks. Spurs won. Boy, they're having a good year.

1205
01:08:41,920 --> 01:08:45,240
Speaker 6: One twenty four, one thirteen at the Wizards. Victory for

1206
01:08:45,320 --> 01:08:48,559
Speaker 6: the Nets and the Knicks. And then you got that

1207
01:08:48,640 --> 01:08:52,519
Speaker 6: Bulls game today. The final score Chicago won fifty two

1208
01:08:52,640 --> 01:08:56,479

1212
01:09:08,560 --> 01:09:13,480
Speaker 6: on three pointers, Chicago was twenty of forty two. Atlanta

1213
01:09:13,520 --> 01:09:17,720
Speaker 6: went twenty three of forty seven from long distance. It's

1214
01:09:17,760 --> 01:09:20,000
Speaker 6: one of the few games in NBA history where each

1215
01:09:20,040 --> 01:09:23,000
Speaker 6: team scored at least one hundred and fifty points in regulation.

1216
01:09:23,120 --> 01:09:26,080
Speaker 6: Apparently that it only happened twice in the last thirty

1217
01:09:26,120 --> 01:09:30,479
Speaker 6: five seasons. Still the highest scoring game in regulation in

1218
01:09:30,640 --> 01:09:34,639
Speaker 6: NBA history, Golden State in nineteen ninety beat Denver one

1219

01:10:12,320 --> 01:10:12,439
Speaker 1: Uh?

1233
01:10:12,600 --> 01:10:15,120
Speaker 2: When he actually did a designed run which the Ravens

1234
01:10:15,120 --> 01:10:17,840
Speaker 2: have they stopped doing because he wasn't running the ball.

1235
01:10:17,840 --> 01:10:21,679
Speaker 1: Well that's why you slide. Yep, yep, yep yep.

Speaker 1: That, really, Yes, I mean where you gonna hide from this?

1242
01:10:43,000 --> 01:10:47,600
Speaker 3: No, I wouldn't expect him to go and have to

1243
01:10:47,720 --> 01:10:51,080
Speaker 3: answer that without talking to his representatives.

1244
01:10:51,120 --> 01:10:52,719
Speaker 1: First, How about Mike Tomlin?

1245
01:10:53,479 --> 01:11:00,360
Speaker 3: He doesn't know what we know. That's the difference. You Remember,

1246
01:11:00,400 --> 01:11:05,360
Speaker 3: they have about seven minutes from the time they leave

1247
01:11:05,400 --> 01:11:08,160
Speaker 3: the field to come in and talk to the team,

1248
01:11:08,240 --> 01:11:12,040
Speaker 3: and it's opened up to the media. So you address

1249
01:11:12,080 --> 01:11:15,519
Speaker 3: the team, right, that's about five minutes. Good job this

1250
01:11:15,600 --> 01:11:18,800
Speaker 3: and that to you Wednesday, whatever that is. And then

1251
01:11:18,880 --> 01:11:22,920
Speaker 3: when you break, the ahead of media relations comes over

1252
01:11:22,960 --> 01:11:25,960
Speaker 3: to you and let you know what the what, what's

1253
01:11:26,000 --> 01:11:28,960
Speaker 3: what's what's happening, what's about to happen? Right, And so

1254
01:11:29,120 --> 01:11:32,920
Speaker 3: he was probably told, Hey, we had a situation in

1255
01:11:32,960 --> 01:11:36,679
Speaker 3: the game where DK punched the fan. Mike Tomlin isn't

1256
01:11:36,720 --> 01:11:37,240
Speaker 3: privy to that.

1257
01:11:37,960 --> 01:11:42,040
Speaker 2: Well, how I do think it is the PR person's job,

1258
01:11:42,240 --> 01:11:44,920
Speaker 2: and I do think there's time to pull the phone

1259
01:11:44,920 --> 01:11:47,479
Speaker 2: out and say, Mike, take a look at this before

1260
01:11:47,520 --> 01:11:48,879
Speaker 2: you go in there to talk to your reporters.

1261
01:11:48,880 --> 01:11:49,439
Speaker 1: Take a look at this.

1262
01:11:49,560 --> 01:11:52,840
Speaker 3: I promise you. It's not enough time. And I think

1263
01:11:53,840 --> 01:11:56,960
Speaker 3: even if he did see it, he doesn't know enough

1264
01:11:57,000 --> 01:11:59,120
Speaker 3: about it. I know he didn't have a chance to

1265
01:11:59,120 --> 01:12:00,439
Speaker 3: talk to DK about yet.

1266
01:12:00,520 --> 01:12:00,840
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1267
01:12:01,000 --> 01:12:04,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, so he's not going to step on a landmine

1268
01:12:05,479 --> 01:12:06,599
Speaker 3: that he doesn't know is there.

1269
01:12:06,800 --> 01:12:08,120
Speaker 1: I get it, I get it.

1270
01:12:08,160 --> 01:12:11,920
Speaker 3: So, yeah, he trust me. If we know Mike Tomlin,

1271
01:12:13,320 --> 01:12:16,160
Speaker 3: he will be we'll be talking about this in the

1272
01:12:16,200 --> 01:12:16,720
Speaker 3: coming week.

1273
01:12:16,800 --> 01:12:18,880
Speaker 1: Oh, there's no doubt. So that's true.

1274
01:12:19,040 --> 01:12:20,720
Speaker 3: You what you don't want to do is go out

1275
01:12:20,720 --> 01:12:23,360
Speaker 3: there and step out there without the information, and for

1276
01:12:23,439 --> 01:12:25,280
Speaker 3: a player, you need.

1277
01:12:25,040 --> 01:12:25,479
Speaker 1: To know.

1278
01:12:27,120 --> 01:12:29,640
Speaker 3: Right well, obviously can't leave you to your own devices,

1279
01:12:30,560 --> 01:12:34,840
Speaker 3: So we got to let somebody try to guide you.

1280
01:12:34,880 --> 01:12:39,000
Speaker 3: Through you steping in this pit, this pit so eventually

1281
01:12:39,000 --> 01:12:39,760
Speaker 3: you can get out of it.

1282
01:12:40,640 --> 01:12:42,840
Speaker 2: We're live in the Fox Sports Radio studios, and I

1283
01:12:42,840 --> 01:12:47,000
Speaker 2: think a larger discussion about the wide receiver position and

1284
01:12:47,040 --> 01:12:50,680
Speaker 2: the behavior that seemingly goes along.

1285
01:12:50,479 --> 01:12:51,920
Speaker 1: With it sometimes.

1286
01:12:52,640 --> 01:12:54,919
Speaker 2: So all that's coming up next with you from Salama

1287
01:12:54,960 --> 01:12:58,240
Speaker 2: Mark Willard on Fox Sports Radio. Okay, we sit live

1288
01:12:58,280 --> 01:13:01,080
Speaker 2: in the Fox Sports Radio studios with Ephraim Salaam.

1289
01:13:01,200 --> 01:13:03,200

Speaker 2: we get off of the air.

1300
01:13:26,840 --> 01:13:27,800
Speaker 1: I think the wide.

1301
01:13:27,520 --> 01:13:30,280
Speaker 2: Receiver thing, Ephraim has sort of landed the same way

1302
01:13:30,800 --> 01:13:35,360
Speaker 2: Raiders fans do. Here's what I mean by that, Raiders fans,

1303
01:13:35,400 --> 01:13:37,240
Speaker 2: and I think it's kind of a less of a thing.

1304
01:13:37,280 --> 01:13:40,519
Speaker 2: Now they're in Vegas and it's all a little watered down.

1305
01:13:40,640 --> 01:13:43,760
Speaker 2: But for years you had the black hole, you had

1306
01:13:43,800 --> 01:13:46,960
Speaker 2: accountance there behind the end zone with horns coming out

1307
01:13:47,000 --> 01:13:49,880
Speaker 2: of their head, and they got themselves a reputation and

1308
01:13:49,920 --> 01:13:52,240
Speaker 2: people would be like, raiders fans are awful.

1309
01:13:52,560 --> 01:13:54,000
Speaker 1: They're awful people.

1310
01:13:54,040 --> 01:13:59,800
Speaker 2: And it's like, actually, it's millions of people strong that fan,

1311
01:14:00,479 --> 01:14:05,400
Speaker 2: and no, they're not all awful people, but there, but

1312
01:14:05,560 --> 01:14:10,000
Speaker 2: some of them are. And they're enough of them and

1313
01:14:10,320 --> 01:14:14,799
Speaker 2: enough attention around the things that they would do that

1314
01:14:14,800 --> 01:14:17,559
Speaker 2: that became a thing. I think we're doing the same

1315
01:14:17,600 --> 01:14:22,240
Speaker 2: thing now with wide receivers. You know, like, I have

1316
01:14:22,439 --> 01:14:25,439
Speaker 2: no idea, what's I'm just gonna think of a random name.

1317
01:14:26,080 --> 01:14:30,960
Speaker 2: Jayden Higgins might be a gem of a dude. I

1318
01:14:31,040 --> 01:14:36,240
Speaker 2: have no idea. But the bottom line is, right now,

1319
01:14:36,520 --> 01:14:41,800
Speaker 2: what's out of whack is the number of silly things

1320
01:14:41,880 --> 01:14:44,839
Speaker 2: that are happening both on and off a football field.

1321
01:14:45,920 --> 01:14:48,400
Speaker 2: We're out of whack in terms of the percentage of

1322
01:14:48,439 --> 01:14:49,960
Speaker 2: those people being wide receiver.

1323
01:14:51,200 --> 01:14:52,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're totally out of whack.

1324
01:14:53,479 --> 01:14:56,519
Speaker 2: And and you know, we could bring more names into

1325
01:14:56,520 --> 01:14:59,720
Speaker 2: this conversation if we open it up to history and

1326
01:14:59,760 --> 01:15:02,400
Speaker 2: then also open up what you and I have talked

1327
01:15:02,400 --> 01:15:06,040
Speaker 2: about where I think the Cincinnati Bengals are the greatest

1328
01:15:06,040 --> 01:15:10,839
Speaker 2: example of this. When you decide to dedicate your salary

1329
01:15:10,920 --> 01:15:15,240
Speaker 2: cap to the wide receiver room, you're in trouble. And

1330
01:15:15,320 --> 01:15:17,640
Speaker 2: I know there are examples to the opposite. I know

1331
01:15:17,720 --> 01:15:21,479
Speaker 2: the Eagles have paid two wide receivers, and there are

1332
01:15:21,520 --> 01:15:24,080
Speaker 2: a couple other teams as well, the Lions to a degree,

1333
01:15:24,200 --> 01:15:28,400
Speaker 2: although how they do and when you do that, this

1334
01:15:28,560 --> 01:15:29,480
Speaker 2: is my opinion.

1335
01:15:30,160 --> 01:15:32,479
Speaker 1: Howie Roseman in Philly is really good.

1336
01:15:32,920 --> 01:15:35,519
Speaker 2: But if I'm running a football team, I am not

1337
01:15:36,439 --> 01:15:38,840
Speaker 2: paying big money to two guys in that room.

1338
01:15:39,000 --> 01:15:39,400
Speaker 1: Period.

1339
01:15:40,880 --> 01:15:44,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll steer clear from that. Al bolster my offensive line,

1340
01:15:45,439 --> 01:15:48,880
Speaker 3: get a dynamic running bag, edge rusher, those type of

1341
01:15:48,920 --> 01:15:54,160
Speaker 3: things before I spend that type of money on two receivers,

1342
01:15:55,080 --> 01:15:58,880
Speaker 3: because there's value in receivers. Late round poop and nakool

1343
01:15:59,120 --> 01:16:04,240
Speaker 3: right yep, fifth round round right ye. Great friend of mine,

1344
01:16:04,680 --> 01:16:08,639
Speaker 3: teammate of mine, Rod Smith. He was a good player,

1345
01:16:08,840 --> 01:16:12,559
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. Like there's Eddie McCaffrey, Like

1346
01:16:12,600 --> 01:16:19,639
Speaker 3: they're dynamic receivers all over the place. My favorite teammate

1347
01:16:19,680 --> 01:16:23,440
Speaker 3: of all time, Andre Johnson, to me, is the epitome

1348
01:16:23,520 --> 01:16:28,919
Speaker 3: of what the number one receiver is and a team

1349
01:16:29,000 --> 01:16:32,960
Speaker 3: captain and the leader. He worked harder than anybody on

1350
01:16:33,040 --> 01:16:37,080
Speaker 3: the planet, and when things weren't going well, which they

1351
01:16:37,200 --> 01:16:41,839
Speaker 3: very rarely did early on in Houston, he didn't complain

1352
01:16:41,880 --> 01:16:45,880
Speaker 3: about it. He just worked harder and rose the level

1353
01:16:46,479 --> 01:16:52,320
Speaker 3: of others to work harder. And so he really set

1354
01:16:52,360 --> 01:16:57,400
Speaker 3: the groundwork on a brand new franchise of what being

1355
01:16:57,479 --> 01:17:01,640
Speaker 3: professional is. And I saw that when I got there,

1356
01:17:01,680 --> 01:17:05,120
Speaker 3: I had already been in the league eight years, and

1357
01:17:05,280 --> 01:17:09,880
Speaker 3: I got a chance to see his leadership style, which

1358
01:17:10,040 --> 01:17:16,120
Speaker 3: was watching me work and keep up get to my level.

1359
01:17:17,520 --> 01:17:20,360
Speaker 3: And so I think he's the only receiver in the

1360
01:17:20,360 --> 01:17:24,120
Speaker 3: Hall of Fame who didn't play with another Hall of

1361
01:17:24,160 --> 01:17:28,720
Speaker 3: Fame receiver or quarterback. Them to be the facts, and

1362
01:17:28,800 --> 01:17:35,040
Speaker 3: so it's it's that diva mentality and you know, getting

1363
01:17:35,040 --> 01:17:39,920
Speaker 3: away with goofy stuff. There is no direct data that

1364
01:17:40,160 --> 01:17:48,439
Speaker 3: shows that having multiple top paid receivers in a room

1365
01:17:48,640 --> 01:17:53,840
Speaker 3: equates to winning anything. When you want to get down

1366
01:17:53,880 --> 01:17:58,680
Speaker 3: to it, it's a correct So that wouldn't be my

1367
01:17:58,800 --> 01:18:02,320
Speaker 3: formula for building championship team.

1368
01:18:02,520 --> 01:18:05,840
Speaker 2: I'm certainly like I don't think we're light on the

1369
01:18:05,920 --> 01:18:08,439
Speaker 2: number of names we come up with that that you know,

1370
01:18:08,720 --> 01:18:12,760
Speaker 2: really do have a positive effect on a football team

1371
01:18:12,840 --> 01:18:15,840
Speaker 2: and on the standings wins and losses and all of

1372
01:18:15,880 --> 01:18:20,040
Speaker 2: that stuff. But I just think that that in a

1373
01:18:20,200 --> 01:18:24,439
Speaker 2: general sense, especially if you play that position, a little

1374
01:18:24,439 --> 01:18:28,600
Speaker 2: self awareness might be nice, Like a little self awareness

1375
01:18:28,640 --> 01:18:32,960
Speaker 2: would would would be good to the fact that, like

1376
01:18:33,080 --> 01:18:38,040
Speaker 2: we get it, you're fancy for fantasy football. You're usually

1377
01:18:38,120 --> 01:18:42,520
Speaker 2: kind of pretty, right, Not every NFL position is pretty,

1378
01:18:42,920 --> 01:18:48,760
Speaker 2: but you're pretty. And sometimes that sort of like out

1379
01:18:48,840 --> 01:18:54,280
Speaker 2: in the public eye, think can lead to marketability. But

1380
01:18:54,640 --> 01:18:58,600
Speaker 2: I think it's just a very very fine line you

1381
01:18:58,680 --> 01:19:00,760
Speaker 2: can be. I have no problem with you know who

1382
01:19:00,840 --> 01:19:03,280
Speaker 2: I think has got his head screwed on so so great?

1383
01:19:03,320 --> 01:19:07,080
Speaker 2: Straight is justin Jefferson. Oh yeah, I really like him,

1384
01:19:07,280 --> 01:19:09,400
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. He's got his head screwed on.

1385
01:19:09,439 --> 01:19:09,719
Speaker 1: Straight.

1386
01:19:09,840 --> 01:19:14,000
Speaker 2: He's super frustrated too right now. But but you don't

1387
01:19:14,040 --> 01:19:16,160
Speaker 2: you don't see him completely go over the edge.

1388
01:19:16,240 --> 01:19:17,280
Speaker 3: Oh he just go to work.

1389
01:19:17,479 --> 01:19:20,799
Speaker 1: Yep. Yeah, So that's that's all I'm saying.

1390
01:19:21,040 --> 01:19:25,240
Speaker 2: I think you gotta be extra aware if you're gonna

1391
01:19:25,240 --> 01:19:26,040
Speaker 2: play that position.

1392
01:19:26,240 --> 01:19:31,160
Speaker 1: You're not wrong what's going on around you. So you

1393
01:19:31,160 --> 01:19:32,639
Speaker 1: know what, I'd love to ask you next.

1394
01:19:33,120 --> 01:19:35,360
Speaker 2: More so than maybe any year I can remember in

1395
01:19:35,479 --> 01:19:39,000
Speaker 2: recent memory, at least, who is coach of the Year

1396
01:19:39,560 --> 01:19:42,559
Speaker 2: is actually an interesting question, So let's do that.

1397
01:19:42,760 --> 01:19:49,960
Speaker 1: Coming up next, you're listening to Fox Sports.

1398
01:19:47,000 --> 01:19:52,000
Speaker 3: D Welcome back to the third Hour. You are joining

1399
01:19:52,120 --> 01:19:55,760
Speaker 3: us on Football Friday. I'm e from Salon with Mark Willard. I'

1400
01:19:55,800 --> 01:19:58,280
Speaker 3: run a Fox Sports Studios. It's been one heck of

1401
01:19:58,280 --> 01:20:03,519
Speaker 3: a day of of NFL football, some tremendous games we've had.

1402
01:20:06,439 --> 01:20:12,719
Speaker 3: It's been one of those situations where some unbelievable things

1403
01:20:12,720 --> 01:20:15,799
Speaker 3: have happened. We had a situation in the Pittsburgh Steelers

1404
01:20:15,880 --> 01:20:25,160
Speaker 3: game where DK Metcalf had a fan interaction. We're waiting

1405
01:20:25,200 --> 01:20:28,799
Speaker 3: to see what that The result of that fan interaction

1406
01:20:28,880 --> 01:20:34,439
Speaker 3: where it appeared to be some type of confrontation where

1407
01:20:34,520 --> 01:20:36,960
Speaker 3: DK threw a punch at a fan. What that fan

1408
01:20:37,120 --> 01:20:39,960
Speaker 3: was saying, how he got over there, that's yet to

1409
01:20:39,960 --> 01:20:41,880
Speaker 3: be determined. I'm sure we'll find out in the next

1410
01:20:41,960 --> 01:20:45,400
Speaker 3: upcoming days and what the penalty for that will be

1411
01:20:46,320 --> 01:20:49,800
Speaker 3: for the Steelers and DK Metcalf. It's a shame because

1412
01:20:49,800 --> 01:20:54,680
Speaker 3: it was such a tremendous game to be riddled with

1413
01:20:55,240 --> 01:20:59,160
Speaker 3: you know, people will be asking questions about what happened

1414
01:20:59,160 --> 01:21:02,439
Speaker 3: and what transpire this and that, and it was one

1415
01:21:02,479 --> 01:21:05,960
Speaker 3: of the best games of the of the weekend. Twenty

1416
01:21:06,040 --> 01:21:09,880
Speaker 3: nine Steelers pulled off the win in Detroit twenty nine

1417
01:21:10,000 --> 01:21:13,960
Speaker 3: twenty four came down literally to the last play of

1418
01:21:14,000 --> 01:21:20,040
Speaker 3: the game where, uh, seemingly, well it's not seemingly Detroit

1419
01:21:20,120 --> 01:21:24,280
Speaker 3: did score a touchdown on a miraculous play. I'm ros

1420
01:21:24,320 --> 01:21:26,679
Speaker 3: Saint Brown was hit at the one yard line, tossed

1421
01:21:26,720 --> 01:21:30,840
Speaker 3: the ball back before he was tackled to the ground.

1422
01:21:30,920 --> 01:21:33,000
Speaker 3: He tossed the ball back to Jared Goff and Jared

1423
01:21:33,040 --> 01:21:36,680
Speaker 3: golf somersaulted into the end zone for what would have

1424
01:21:36,680 --> 01:21:40,960
Speaker 3: been the go ahead touchdown, and it wasn't. It was

1425
01:21:41,040 --> 01:21:43,799
Speaker 3: negated because I'm and Ross Saint Brown pushed off before

1426
01:21:43,800 --> 01:21:48,559
Speaker 3: he caught the ball. Offensive pass interference came over Steelers

1427
01:21:48,600 --> 01:21:52,799
Speaker 3: twenty nine Lions twenty four game blouses.

1428
01:21:53,000 --> 01:21:56,880
Speaker 2: I mean, with everything that you just described on that front,

1429
01:21:57,040 --> 01:21:58,920
Speaker 2: I haven't had a chance to ask you if you

1430
01:21:59,160 --> 01:22:03,880
Speaker 2: thought it was offensive passing interference on Arman Ross Saint Brown.

1431
01:22:03,920 --> 01:22:04,760
Speaker 2: What'd you think of the call?

1432
01:22:04,920 --> 01:22:09,120
Speaker 3: Yeah? You can't. Now. What I know is the defender

1433
01:22:09,280 --> 01:22:12,240
Speaker 3: has a right to his space. Sure, the fact that

1434
01:22:12,360 --> 01:22:17,920
Speaker 3: Jalen didn't move. Jalen Ramsey didn't move, He held his ground.

1435
01:22:18,960 --> 01:22:22,439
Speaker 3: The receiver came, will be on five yards and make

1436
01:22:22,560 --> 01:22:26,360
Speaker 3: contact with him, pushed off of him, yep, extended both

1437
01:22:26,439 --> 01:22:29,840
Speaker 3: hands to gain an advantage, which is the rule of

1438
01:22:29,880 --> 01:22:33,559
Speaker 3: thumb offensive passing afferance. That's offensive passing experience. I agree

1439
01:22:33,600 --> 01:22:36,360
Speaker 3: with you. I like I see this as this is

1440
01:22:36,360 --> 01:22:40,679
Speaker 3: one of those situations. I see this as officiated correctly.

1441
01:22:40,960 --> 01:22:47,760
Speaker 2: Frustrating, yes, weird eye popping yes, by the way, you know,

1442
01:22:48,080 --> 01:22:51,560
Speaker 2: And in the NBA, this is maybe a different conversation

1443
01:22:51,720 --> 01:22:55,160
Speaker 2: right now because I even't had a play by play

1444
01:22:55,200 --> 01:22:58,519
Speaker 2: broadcaster for one of the teams say to me this week.

1445
01:22:58,880 --> 01:23:03,080
Speaker 2: Right now, there's an officiation problem in the NBA, I

1446
01:23:03,520 --> 01:23:06,960
Speaker 2: you know, to kind of refute what Puka Nakua said,

1447
01:23:07,120 --> 01:23:10,479
Speaker 2: I don't believe we've got that in the NFL, which

1448
01:23:11,000 --> 01:23:14,920
Speaker 2: in my opinion, is easily the hardest one to officiate.

1449
01:23:15,000 --> 01:23:17,160
Speaker 2: There is a lot of guesswork out there, and that's

1450
01:23:17,240 --> 01:23:19,640
Speaker 2: just baked into the whole thing. Could you call a

1451
01:23:19,680 --> 01:23:23,320
Speaker 2: penalty on every play where the sport actually calls for

1452
01:23:23,400 --> 01:23:24,480
Speaker 2: this much contact?

1453
01:23:24,840 --> 01:23:25,160
Speaker 1: Sure?

1454
01:23:25,360 --> 01:23:27,679
Speaker 2: Like I'm going to answer yes to all of those,

1455
01:23:28,120 --> 01:23:31,200
Speaker 2: but your two most talked about controversial plays of the week.

1456
01:23:31,600 --> 01:23:35,479
Speaker 2: I'm on Ross Saint Brown. That was offensive PI And oh,

1457
01:23:35,560 --> 01:23:40,840
Speaker 2: by the way, your two point conversion in Seattle officiated correctly.

1458
01:23:41,040 --> 01:23:44,320
Speaker 2: And before you yell about how the whistle was blown,

1459
01:23:44,960 --> 01:23:47,480
Speaker 2: they have already talked about that publicly.

1460
01:23:47,600 --> 01:23:49,640
Speaker 1: That is e relevant.

1461
01:23:50,680 --> 01:23:58,240
Speaker 2: That was officiated correctly on Thursday night. So frustrating, eye popping,

1462
01:23:59,600 --> 01:24:01,559
Speaker 2: you know, dicks in your brain for a while. All

1463
01:24:01,600 --> 01:24:04,360
Speaker 2: these things are true, but I'd like to make sure

1464
01:24:04,400 --> 01:24:05,719
Speaker 2: we get out there correct.

1465
01:24:06,240 --> 01:24:09,240
Speaker 3: They're also correct, And what you want to do is

1466
01:24:09,280 --> 01:24:10,439
Speaker 3: you want them to get it right.

1467
01:24:11,640 --> 01:24:13,960
Speaker 1: Absolutely. That's the whole point of review, is it not.

1468
01:24:14,439 --> 01:24:17,439
Speaker 3: Yep, and they did and they got it right, yeah,

1469
01:24:17,680 --> 01:24:21,840
Speaker 3: in both instances. And just an update coming out in

1470
01:24:21,880 --> 01:24:25,160
Speaker 3: the second half, there is no Lamar Jackson.

1471
01:24:25,240 --> 01:24:29,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, Tyler Huntley is quarterbacking the Ravens who right now, yep,

1472
01:24:29,400 --> 01:24:33,120
Speaker 2: they have the ball just into Patriots territory.

1473
01:24:33,320 --> 01:24:34,320
Speaker 1: Early third quarter.

1474
01:24:34,360 --> 01:24:37,000
Speaker 2: We are tied at ten, but Lamar Jackson went out

1475
01:24:37,080 --> 01:24:39,800
Speaker 2: with what was described as some sort of a back

1476
01:24:39,880 --> 01:24:43,719
Speaker 2: injury just before the half and he has so far.

1477
01:24:43,720 --> 01:24:45,679
Speaker 1: Not returned to play.

1478
01:24:45,840 --> 01:24:50,320
Speaker 2: So that is an earth Shaker as well, considering what's

1479
01:24:50,360 --> 01:24:54,920
Speaker 2: on the line for the Baltimore No, not at all,

1480
01:24:55,600 --> 01:24:59,040
Speaker 2: And I've actually got it. Steve maybe has already done

1481
01:24:59,040 --> 01:25:02,519
Speaker 2: this and and maybe we can get note to him

1482
01:25:02,880 --> 01:25:05,080
Speaker 2: in the other room there that Like, I'd love to

1483
01:25:05,200 --> 01:25:10,880
Speaker 2: know if if the Steelers win next week over the Browns,

1484
01:25:11,680 --> 01:25:16,000
Speaker 2: did they clinch the division already either way, or do

1485
01:25:16,120 --> 01:25:19,040
Speaker 2: the Ravens still have a chance with that last game,

1486
01:25:19,120 --> 01:25:22,080
Speaker 2: with that last game Baltimore against Pittsburgh if they're because

1487
01:25:22,120 --> 01:25:24,400
Speaker 2: they would be a game down still if the Ravens

1488
01:25:24,439 --> 01:25:27,720
Speaker 2: went out and the Steelers, right, if the Ravens win

1489
01:25:27,800 --> 01:25:29,800
Speaker 2: this and they win next week and the Steelers win

1490
01:25:29,840 --> 01:25:32,240
Speaker 2: next week, the Steelers be a game ahead with a

1491
01:25:32,280 --> 01:25:34,240
Speaker 2: head to head game then coming in the last week,

1492
01:25:34,960 --> 01:25:38,000
Speaker 2: I think it would go to common opponents. Their division

1493
01:25:38,040 --> 01:25:42,479
Speaker 2: record would be similar, I think, and so would love

1494
01:25:42,520 --> 01:25:44,800
Speaker 2: to know that scenario. Also, the Ravens just tried a

1495
01:25:44,840 --> 01:25:47,559
Speaker 2: fifty six yard or Tyler Loop hits it straight but

1496
01:25:47,640 --> 01:25:51,000
Speaker 2: it comes up short short, not something you hear very

1497
01:25:51,040 --> 01:25:54,679
Speaker 2: often in the NFL anymore so stays ten to ten.

1498
01:25:55,960 --> 01:26:01,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think fall intense purposes. I think it probably

1499
01:26:01,720 --> 01:26:08,880
Speaker 3: will come down to that final game with Baltimore and

1500
01:26:09,080 --> 01:26:13,760
Speaker 3: Pittsburgh one. Yeah, they got to this.

1501
01:26:14,800 --> 01:26:18,080
Speaker 2: That is in this scenario tie game and Lamar Jackson out.

1502
01:26:18,160 --> 01:26:20,040
Speaker 2: That is far from a given.

1503
01:26:20,240 --> 01:26:24,519
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is uh. I know the Steelers are sitting

1504
01:26:24,560 --> 01:26:26,639
Speaker 3: there like, oh, oh, what do we have here?

1505
01:26:26,840 --> 01:26:27,080
Speaker 1: Yeah?

1506
01:26:27,840 --> 01:26:33,360
Speaker 3: Yes, second right, because look, the bottom line is it

1507
01:26:33,400 --> 01:26:36,240
Speaker 3: could get to the point where in that final game

1508
01:26:36,280 --> 01:26:38,879
Speaker 3: against Baltimore you rest Aaron Rodgers.

1509
01:26:42,160 --> 01:26:43,040
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1510
01:26:43,120 --> 01:26:47,240
Speaker 3: By Baltimore loses this game and the Steelers beat the

1511
01:26:47,320 --> 01:26:51,000
Speaker 3: Browns next week, that may lock up.

1512
01:26:52,280 --> 01:26:53,880
Speaker 1: Oh I think it does that vision.

1513
01:26:54,040 --> 01:26:57,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, and and so now that last week you can

1514
01:26:57,680 --> 01:27:03,080
Speaker 3: really rest a fifty year old Aaron Rodgers. So it's

1515
01:27:03,120 --> 01:27:05,519
Speaker 3: a lot. There's a lot there. There's a lot lot there.

1516
01:27:05,640 --> 01:27:09,280
Speaker 2: There's absolutely a lot there. And so we'll keep bud

1517
01:27:09,320 --> 01:27:13,040
Speaker 2: tabs on that. Some of you know, doctor David Chow

1518
01:27:13,280 --> 01:27:15,240
Speaker 2: used to be the Chargers team doctor. He does a

1519
01:27:15,320 --> 01:27:19,160
Speaker 2: lot of uh doc and football work on social media,

1520
01:27:19,840 --> 01:27:22,600
Speaker 2: and he pointed out that because of the timing of

1521
01:27:22,640 --> 01:27:26,120
Speaker 2: the injury right before halftime, the fact that he did

1522
01:27:26,160 --> 01:27:30,880
Speaker 2: not return is a really bad sign for kind of

1523
01:27:30,920 --> 01:27:33,719
Speaker 2: the larger question, not just the in the moment question,

1524
01:27:34,320 --> 01:27:36,880
Speaker 2: because there would have been at halftime enough time for

1525
01:27:36,920 --> 01:27:40,920
Speaker 2: both X rays and an injection for pain if he

1526
01:27:41,000 --> 01:27:42,559
Speaker 2: was going to come back in So the fact that

1527
01:27:42,600 --> 01:27:45,480
Speaker 2: he's not in maybe has kind of a larger implication

1528
01:27:45,560 --> 01:27:46,240
Speaker 2: to it as well.

1529
01:27:47,240 --> 01:27:50,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's been one of those seasons for

1530
01:27:50,400 --> 01:27:54,679
Speaker 3: lamar And and the Baltimore Ravens. They did fight back.

1531
01:27:54,720 --> 01:27:59,280
Speaker 3: They were one in five, remember, and uh, you know there,

1532
01:28:01,240 --> 01:28:04,200
Speaker 3: you know seven and seven now, So yep, they fought back.

1533
01:28:04,240 --> 01:28:06,920
Speaker 3: But you starting to tell you starting that bad, that

1534
01:28:07,000 --> 01:28:10,920
Speaker 3: cold Excuse me, it's hard to get over that hump now.

1535
01:28:10,920 --> 01:28:11,800
Speaker 1: No doubt.

1536
01:28:11,960 --> 01:28:14,439
Speaker 2: So I'm looking at these standings right now that we're

1537
01:28:14,479 --> 01:28:18,040
Speaker 2: talking about, and you tell me, dude, can you think

1538
01:28:19,000 --> 01:28:24,439
Speaker 2: of another year that had this many deserving candidates for

1539
01:28:24,560 --> 01:28:29,439
Speaker 2: Coach of the Year. I don't know, Like, and we

1540
01:28:29,520 --> 01:28:31,800
Speaker 2: know Coach of the Year is not actually Coach.

1541
01:28:31,520 --> 01:28:33,240
Speaker 1: Of the Year. I'd love to change the name of it,

1542
01:28:33,280 --> 01:28:34,360
Speaker 1: but the name is really lame.

1543
01:28:34,720 --> 01:28:37,360
Speaker 2: The name of the award is actually who did really

1544
01:28:37,400 --> 01:28:39,439
Speaker 2: well that you didn't think was going to do really well.

1545
01:28:39,760 --> 01:28:43,839
Speaker 2: That's the name of the award because you could always

1546
01:28:43,880 --> 01:28:45,800
Speaker 2: go out and give it to just whoever has the

1547
01:28:45,800 --> 01:28:47,120
Speaker 2: best record or whatever.

1548
01:28:48,040 --> 01:28:49,599
Speaker 1: But you got a lot.

1549
01:28:49,720 --> 01:28:53,960
Speaker 2: We were talking about it earlier, surprising teams that we

1550
01:28:54,040 --> 01:28:56,280
Speaker 2: didn't think would be up there. The two best teams

1551
01:28:56,320 --> 01:28:59,479
Speaker 2: in the AFC were not expected to be there.

1552
01:28:59,479 --> 01:29:01,360
Speaker 1: Maybe better, but not this good.

1553
01:29:02,120 --> 01:29:05,439
Speaker 2: And from Sean Payton to Mike Rabel, who's coaching a

1554
01:29:05,439 --> 01:29:08,360
Speaker 2: team that was in last place just last year. Now

1555
01:29:08,439 --> 01:29:11,040
Speaker 2: add in, as you pointed out, Liam Cohen into this.

1556
01:29:11,560 --> 01:29:15,799
Speaker 2: Look at the rally that's happening in Houston behind Demiko Ryans,

1557
01:29:15,800 --> 01:29:19,000
Speaker 2: who I love, go back four weeks ago, Shane Steichen.

1558
01:29:19,040 --> 01:29:19,880
Speaker 1: They were gonna name.

1559
01:29:19,760 --> 01:29:22,479
Speaker 2: The award after him for crying out loud, and their

1560
01:29:22,560 --> 01:29:26,200
Speaker 2: season has fallen apart, but that can still be revitalized,

1561
01:29:27,000 --> 01:29:30,439
Speaker 2: especially if they win tomorrow night. I still haven't named

1562
01:29:30,439 --> 01:29:34,760
Speaker 2: who's probably the guy who has the inside track, and

1563
01:29:34,800 --> 01:29:38,160
Speaker 2: that's Ben Johnson in Chicago because they're in a really

1564
01:29:38,240 --> 01:29:40,640
Speaker 2: rough and tough division and no one saw this kind

1565
01:29:40,680 --> 01:29:44,839
Speaker 2: of thing coming. And then go out to the NFC West,

1566
01:29:45,360 --> 01:29:50,040
Speaker 2: where I mean, quite frankly, you could both look at

1567
01:29:50,080 --> 01:29:53,320
Speaker 2: Seattle and they're surprised twelve.

1568
01:29:53,000 --> 01:29:56,439
Speaker 1: And three, and you for sure due to the.

1569
01:29:56,439 --> 01:29:59,880
Speaker 2: Loss of Fred Warner, Nick Bosa, eight games of brock Per,

1570
01:30:00,080 --> 01:30:02,120
Speaker 2: the six games of George Kittle.

1571
01:30:02,560 --> 01:30:03,559
Speaker 1: And an inside track.

1572
01:30:03,680 --> 01:30:06,240
Speaker 2: Now at the one seed, you have to look at

1573
01:30:06,320 --> 01:30:07,400
Speaker 2: Kyle Shanahan too.

1574
01:30:07,439 --> 01:30:09,600
Speaker 3: That's a lot of names. I just mentioned that's a

1575
01:30:09,640 --> 01:30:12,559
Speaker 3: lot of names. So what do you think for me?

1576
01:30:13,880 --> 01:30:17,479
Speaker 3: For my money, Yeah, it'd have to be a Jaguars coach.

1577
01:30:17,720 --> 01:30:18,200
Speaker 1: Okay.

1578
01:30:18,320 --> 01:30:21,360
Speaker 2: And what's fascinating is that didn't even come up till

1579
01:30:21,360 --> 01:30:22,040
Speaker 2: two weeks ago.

1580
01:30:22,240 --> 01:30:29,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, at the job he's done. I mean, this is

1581
01:30:29,600 --> 01:30:32,760
Speaker 3: eleven and four. Who had that on the Bengal calls?

1582
01:30:32,800 --> 01:30:36,200
Speaker 2: Eleven and four with a point differential, that's that's heading

1583
01:30:36,240 --> 01:30:39,080
Speaker 2: close to one hundred. They've won six football games in

1584
01:30:39,120 --> 01:30:44,120
Speaker 2: a row, they're five and two away from home. They've

1585
01:30:44,160 --> 01:30:46,920
Speaker 2: scored over four hundred points this year. You know how

1586
01:30:46,960 --> 01:30:48,160
Speaker 2: many teams the NFL can.

1587
01:30:48,080 --> 01:30:52,120
Speaker 3: Say that, right?

1588
01:30:52,600 --> 01:30:57,480
Speaker 2: I mean, Rams, Seahawks, Lions, Cowboys.

1589
01:30:57,720 --> 01:31:01,640
Speaker 3: I mean also for you know, gotta be a co

1590
01:31:01,640 --> 01:31:04,600
Speaker 3: Coach of the Year award because it's too many, Like

1591
01:31:04,680 --> 01:31:09,600
Speaker 3: you said, it's too many. I duly think Kyle Shanahan

1592
01:31:09,640 --> 01:31:13,360
Speaker 3: deserves it, but you know, I also think that, you know,

1593
01:31:13,400 --> 01:31:15,599
Speaker 3: the new coach up in Seattle deserves it.

1594
01:31:18,160 --> 01:31:18,880
Speaker 1: Absolutely.

1595
01:31:19,400 --> 01:31:21,479
Speaker 3: I mean, and I don't think the list stops there,

1596
01:31:21,760 --> 01:31:24,920
Speaker 3: no like, and the reason how does.

1597
01:31:24,800 --> 01:31:27,639
Speaker 1: Ben Johnson not deserve, right, how does Rabel not deserve?

1598
01:31:27,920 --> 01:31:30,879
Speaker 3: The reason I leave Mike off the list, Mike Vrabel

1599
01:31:31,000 --> 01:31:36,400
Speaker 3: is because that was expected, well, in my in my opinion,

1600
01:31:36,600 --> 01:31:37,000
Speaker 3: they were.

1601
01:31:36,880 --> 01:31:39,320
Speaker 1: Expected to get better. I don't know about twelve and three.

1602
01:31:39,479 --> 01:31:41,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you knew they were going to be a

1603
01:31:41,160 --> 01:31:41,759
Speaker 3: better team.

1604
01:31:41,880 --> 01:31:43,240
Speaker 1: But but beat the Bills.

1605
01:31:43,520 --> 01:31:45,720
Speaker 3: I get it. But what I'm saying to you is

1606
01:31:46,240 --> 01:31:50,880
Speaker 3: there was zero expectations in Jacksonville. There was zero expectations

1607
01:31:51,280 --> 01:31:52,120
Speaker 3: in Seattle.

1608
01:31:53,720 --> 01:31:55,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, both of them. Sure.

1609
01:31:56,000 --> 01:32:00,599
Speaker 3: Honestly, if Seattle and Jacksonville didn't make the playoffs this year, would.

1610
01:32:00,400 --> 01:32:02,759
Speaker 1: We be like, oh my god, No, it's not shocking.

1611
01:32:03,280 --> 01:32:04,120
Speaker 1: It's not shocking.

1612
01:32:04,120 --> 01:32:08,080
Speaker 2: But I think that also circumstances need to come into play,

1613
01:32:08,120 --> 01:32:10,280
Speaker 2: Like if you're going to bring up Kyle Shanahan. The

1614
01:32:10,360 --> 01:32:13,439
Speaker 2: Niners were expected to get back to who they've always

1615
01:32:13,439 --> 01:32:16,360
Speaker 2: been under him, right, actually a pretty good team. The

1616
01:32:16,439 --> 01:32:18,360
Speaker 2: reason people want to talk about him for Coach of

1617
01:32:18,400 --> 01:32:21,960
Speaker 2: the Year is because of the circumstances that developed in season.

1618
01:32:22,280 --> 01:32:25,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, he had to do a lot with the little Yeah.

1619
01:32:24,960 --> 01:32:28,080
Speaker 2: I mean, and quite frankly, if he were to win

1620
01:32:28,120 --> 01:32:30,559
Speaker 2: the award, I hope they cut it in half. And

1621
01:32:30,600 --> 01:32:33,960
Speaker 2: give half of it to Robert Salah absolutely because they

1622
01:32:34,560 --> 01:32:37,719
Speaker 2: like he's Actually I know they dealt with Brock Purty,

1623
01:32:37,800 --> 01:32:41,759
Speaker 2: George Kittle, Ricky Piersoll, But the defense is that lost

1624
01:32:41,920 --> 01:32:45,519
Speaker 2: both of their best players and for the year, and

1625
01:32:45,880 --> 01:32:49,400
Speaker 2: they've been dealing with all kinds of rookies and ins

1626
01:32:49,439 --> 01:32:52,120
Speaker 2: and outs. And oh, by the way, their number one

1627
01:32:52,280 --> 01:32:56,840
Speaker 2: first round draft pick also torn acl and and was

1628
01:32:57,280 --> 01:32:59,280
Speaker 2: the hope that he would at least help a little

1629
01:32:59,280 --> 01:33:01,439
Speaker 2: bit for for Nick Bosa's exit.

1630
01:33:01,640 --> 01:33:03,479
Speaker 1: So no doubt, no doubt.

1631
01:33:03,560 --> 01:33:05,960
Speaker 2: But they give how deep into the circumstances you want

1632
01:33:05,960 --> 01:33:08,320
Speaker 2: to go, because Mike Vrabel and Kyle Shanahan are also

1633
01:33:08,360 --> 01:33:10,639
Speaker 2: coaching teams that were last place teams last year.

1634
01:33:10,880 --> 01:33:13,559
Speaker 1: Therefore their schedule is a lot easier.

1635
01:33:13,680 --> 01:33:16,080
Speaker 2: I love what you pointed out earlier about Liam Cohen

1636
01:33:16,120 --> 01:33:18,400
Speaker 2: and the Jaguars, And look at the list of teams

1637
01:33:18,400 --> 01:33:19,080
Speaker 2: they've beaten.

1638
01:33:20,120 --> 01:33:20,920
Speaker 1: It's insane.

1639
01:33:21,080 --> 01:33:24,840
Speaker 3: No, they've run the gauntlet, and yeah, they've showed up.

1640
01:33:26,400 --> 01:33:28,519
Speaker 3: They've showed up. Man, you get to you get to

1641
01:33:28,720 --> 01:33:31,439
Speaker 3: sixteen games, fifteen games and you've only lost.

1642
01:33:31,240 --> 01:33:36,160
Speaker 2: Four, yep, And you can boast wins against the Broncos

1643
01:33:36,640 --> 01:33:39,759
Speaker 2: and the Texans and the Chargers, Yeah, and the forty

1644
01:33:39,840 --> 01:33:44,040
Speaker 2: nine and the Chiefs, and even I mean the Panthers.

1645
01:33:44,080 --> 01:33:46,439
Speaker 2: I guess you gotta like that's a division leader.

1646
01:33:47,400 --> 01:33:51,360
Speaker 3: Yep. So it was not a cake walk. You lose

1647
01:33:51,400 --> 01:33:55,080
Speaker 3: your the third pick in the draft, right, you'll lose him?

1648
01:33:55,360 --> 01:33:57,360
Speaker 3: Are the second pick in the draft? What was he?

1649
01:33:57,439 --> 01:34:03,000
Speaker 3: What was the third or second? You lose the person

1650
01:34:03,080 --> 01:34:05,400
Speaker 3: that you drafted to come in and help you immediately

1651
01:34:05,439 --> 01:34:06,479
Speaker 3: on both sides of the ball.

1652
01:34:06,720 --> 01:34:10,280
Speaker 1: Yep. And the point I didn't even thought about that.

1653
01:34:11,760 --> 01:34:15,920
Speaker 3: You look at everybody else's rookies. You know, those time

1654
01:34:16,040 --> 01:34:20,000
Speaker 3: guys are are are are there and performing and and

1655
01:34:20,040 --> 01:34:25,120
Speaker 3: so just to be able to continue to to perform

1656
01:34:25,360 --> 01:34:30,920
Speaker 3: and and and and show up like this without that,

1657
01:34:32,520 --> 01:34:35,800
Speaker 3: Hey man, whatever's going on down there? I like it.

1658
01:34:35,920 --> 01:34:37,960
Speaker 2: Well, I'll tell you one other thing I look for

1659
01:34:38,000 --> 01:34:39,800
Speaker 2: in a coach that I think kind of puts them

1660
01:34:39,800 --> 01:34:43,200
Speaker 2: in this conversation, and you're seeing it with Jacksonville, is

1661
01:34:43,400 --> 01:34:48,479
Speaker 2: take a look at players who look one way under

1662
01:34:49,240 --> 01:34:52,400
Speaker 2: said coach or a set of coaches, and then all

1663
01:34:52,439 --> 01:34:56,000
Speaker 2: of a sudden, oh, look how they look under this coach.

1664
01:34:56,840 --> 01:35:01,120
Speaker 2: Look at Mac Jones and how he looks under Kyle Shanahan.

1665
01:35:01,560 --> 01:35:05,800
Speaker 2: Look at how about Travis Etn who was left for

1666
01:35:06,080 --> 01:35:09,400
Speaker 2: dead and like, ah, there, you know, we're gonna get

1667
01:35:09,400 --> 01:35:11,840
Speaker 2: by shell tootin in here and we're gonna move off

1668
01:35:11,920 --> 01:35:15,280
Speaker 2: of Bigsby and and Etn and Etn is having a

1669
01:35:15,320 --> 01:35:19,200
Speaker 2: pro Bowl level type year right and Trevor Lawrence looks

1670
01:35:19,640 --> 01:35:21,240
Speaker 2: better than he ever has before.

1671
01:35:22,160 --> 01:35:24,120
Speaker 1: I still don't know if he's ever gonna be what

1672
01:35:24,320 --> 01:35:27,000
Speaker 1: you know, what was going to be. Yeah, but like

1673
01:35:27,560 --> 01:35:29,120
Speaker 1: it's starting to pop a little bit.

1674
01:35:29,200 --> 01:35:32,439
Speaker 2: And to me, that's that's when you really that's the

1675
01:35:32,479 --> 01:35:36,040
Speaker 2: sign of a great system that's been put in by

1676
01:35:36,080 --> 01:35:37,000
Speaker 2: a really good coach.

1677
01:35:37,880 --> 01:35:39,559
Speaker 1: So I like your vote.

1678
01:35:39,800 --> 01:35:42,200
Speaker 2: I also know that there's about five other guys that

1679
01:35:42,280 --> 01:35:46,880
Speaker 2: I can't argue with right now, and Ben Johnson and

1680
01:35:46,960 --> 01:35:50,920
Speaker 2: Kyle Shanahan and Vray Bowl and I mean they're all

1681
01:35:51,560 --> 01:35:55,920
Speaker 2: they're all on the list. So I actually pull up

1682
01:35:56,000 --> 01:35:59,800
Speaker 2: the current head coaching Coach of the Year odds and

1683
01:36:00,000 --> 01:36:00,760
Speaker 2: to share those with you.

1684
01:36:00,840 --> 01:36:02,880
Speaker 1: Next, let's get into those jags.

1685
01:36:02,920 --> 01:36:07,040

Speaker 2: thirteen to ten, The Ravens now up six, now thirteen.

1696
01:36:40,360 --> 01:36:42,720
Speaker 2: Got to get creative when your quarterbacks out, and they

1697
01:36:42,760 --> 01:36:46,320
Speaker 2: did end around to Zave Flowers and the Ravens have

1698
01:36:46,479 --> 01:36:49,840
Speaker 2: retaken the lead with four thirty five to go third quarter,

1699
01:36:50,160 --> 01:36:55,240
Speaker 2: Sunday Night Football in the game with major implications quite

1700
01:36:55,280 --> 01:36:58,080
Speaker 2: frankly for both teams, maybe more so for Baltimore than

1701
01:36:58,120 --> 01:37:00,200
Speaker 2: for New England. But this is a big one and

1702
01:37:00,200 --> 01:37:02,960
Speaker 2: we're heading toward the fourth quarter, so we will keep

1703
01:37:03,000 --> 01:37:05,639
Speaker 2: you up to date. While we're doing that, I want

1704
01:37:05,680 --> 01:37:08,240
Speaker 2: to get a little deeper in the Lions. No, they've

1705
01:37:08,240 --> 01:37:10,479
Speaker 2: not been eliminated, but yes they have. That's kind of

1706
01:37:10,520 --> 01:37:13,719
Speaker 2: the way I look at it. They need two wins,

1707
01:37:13,760 --> 01:37:15,800
Speaker 2: the Packers need two losses. I'm going to go out

1708
01:37:15,800 --> 01:37:17,479
Speaker 2: on a limb and say that's not going to happen.

1709
01:37:18,720 --> 01:37:21,720
Speaker 3: Well, oh, we got to figure out what the quarterback situation, no.

1710
01:37:21,840 --> 01:37:24,720
Speaker 2: Question in green Bay. In green Bay, that's fair, That's

1711
01:37:24,760 --> 01:37:27,800
Speaker 2: absolutely fair. Just so we look at that though. What

1712
01:37:27,880 --> 01:37:33,080
Speaker 2: green Bay has left, they will host these Ravens a

1713
01:37:33,120 --> 01:37:37,960
Speaker 2: couple of days after Christmas, and then they finish at Minnesota.

1714
01:37:38,640 --> 01:37:42,640
Speaker 2: Those are the Packers two games left. Meantime, What the

1715
01:37:42,720 --> 01:37:46,120
Speaker 2: Lions have left where they will need a couple of wins,

1716
01:37:46,160 --> 01:37:50,960
Speaker 2: They are at Minnesota and then at Chicago Week eighteen.

1717
01:37:51,080 --> 01:37:54,960
Speaker 2: Might be interesting. If Chicago doesn't need that game, how

1718
01:37:55,040 --> 01:37:58,880
Speaker 2: the Bears would go about playing it if the Lions do. So,

1719
01:38:00,520 --> 01:38:03,040
Speaker 2: that's among the games that could be flexed for the

1720
01:38:03,080 --> 01:38:04,760
Speaker 2: final Sunday night football game of the year.

1721
01:38:04,800 --> 01:38:06,559
Speaker 1: We'll see. There's a bunch of them.

1722
01:38:07,200 --> 01:38:09,080
Speaker 2: But I want to ask you about the Lions because

1723
01:38:09,120 --> 01:38:13,120
Speaker 2: they're in a rough spot and you have been outspoken

1724
01:38:13,800 --> 01:38:19,120
Speaker 2: about Dan Campbell all year long, and I've always seen

1725
01:38:19,200 --> 01:38:22,439
Speaker 2: him as a great culture coach. He came to a

1726
01:38:22,439 --> 01:38:25,400
Speaker 2: place that needed a new culture and they changed the culture.

1727
01:38:25,960 --> 01:38:29,960
Speaker 2: But this often happens. Once the culture's been changed, it's like, Okay,

1728
01:38:30,200 --> 01:38:32,479
Speaker 2: now we've got the culture. Now we need to do

1729
01:38:32,520 --> 01:38:34,360
Speaker 2: the football. And I'm not here to tell you they're

1730
01:38:34,360 --> 01:38:37,879
Speaker 2: a bad team. Like they're obviously very good. Their offense

1731
01:38:38,080 --> 01:38:41,320
Speaker 2: is incredibly dynamic, But how'd they get here? How are

1732
01:38:41,360 --> 01:38:42,800
Speaker 2: they eight and seven? And what do you think?

1733
01:38:43,280 --> 01:38:47,400
Speaker 3: I'm at a statement a couple weeks ago that some

1734
01:38:47,479 --> 01:38:52,680
Speaker 3: of the things that he's done consistently are things you

1735
01:38:52,680 --> 01:38:56,720
Speaker 3: get fired for when you consistently put your team in

1736
01:38:56,840 --> 01:38:59,800
Speaker 3: harm's way. I don't know if it's ego, I don't

1737
01:38:59,840 --> 01:39:03,840
Speaker 3: know if it's solely analytics. I mean, Dan Campbell is

1738
01:39:03,880 --> 01:39:07,519
Speaker 3: a person that played in a time where there were

1739
01:39:07,560 --> 01:39:13,920
Speaker 3: no analytics, so he understands the value of points. He

1740
01:39:14,040 --> 01:39:19,799
Speaker 3: understands the value of momentum. So in order to change

1741
01:39:19,840 --> 01:39:23,439
Speaker 3: the culture, You're absolutely right, it has to be drastic

1742
01:39:23,479 --> 01:39:28,760
Speaker 3: and dramatic, But in order to advance the culture, you

1743
01:39:28,920 --> 01:39:33,960
Speaker 3: have to also now change your train of thought and

1744
01:39:34,000 --> 01:39:38,080
Speaker 3: how you go about changing or advancing the culture that

1745
01:39:38,120 --> 01:39:42,280
Speaker 3: you've changed. Great example is one of your teams that

1746
01:39:42,320 --> 01:39:45,679
Speaker 3: you love. Mark Jackson came in and changed the culture

1747
01:39:46,320 --> 01:39:48,719
Speaker 3: of the Golden State Warriors.

1748
01:39:48,760 --> 01:39:49,799
Speaker 1: That's a great example.

1749
01:39:50,000 --> 01:39:53,599
Speaker 3: They were playing defense. Now, they were locked in, they

1750
01:39:53,600 --> 01:39:57,799
Speaker 3: were playing team basketball. A young Steph, a young Clay,

1751
01:39:58,040 --> 01:40:03,240
Speaker 3: a young Draymond. Mark jacks developed those guys change the

1752
01:40:03,280 --> 01:40:06,920
Speaker 3: culture how they saw the game, and they brought in

1753
01:40:06,960 --> 01:40:10,599
Speaker 3: Steve Kerr to push the culture forward, and they won

1754
01:40:10,640 --> 01:40:13,479
Speaker 3: a championship the next year. And so when you have

1755
01:40:13,800 --> 01:40:20,040
Speaker 3: owners come in who don't necessarily come from sports based background,

1756
01:40:20,520 --> 01:40:25,400
Speaker 3: they come from building billion dollar companies, they'll often say

1757
01:40:25,920 --> 01:40:29,160
Speaker 3: the CEO, we needed a CEO to get us here,

1758
01:40:29,479 --> 01:40:33,400
Speaker 3: and then we needed another guy to take us there.

1759
01:40:33,800 --> 01:40:37,200
Speaker 3: I think the Lions are here. Can they get there?

1760
01:40:37,439 --> 01:40:41,080
Speaker 3: I don't know, But what I do know is Steve

1761
01:40:41,240 --> 01:40:44,679
Speaker 3: de Seger is coming and that's neither here nor there.

1762
01:40:47,080 --> 01:40:51,080
Speaker 6: Gentlemen, Hello again. Baltimore is up seventeen thirteen on New

1763
01:40:51,080 --> 01:40:53,759
Speaker 6: England as we go too late in the third quarter,

1764
01:40:53,840 --> 01:40:56,200
Speaker 6: and Mark, I do believe you're right. As far as

1765
01:40:56,680 --> 01:41:00,000
Speaker 6: Pittsburgh Baltimore and who wins the division, it'll probably come

1766
01:41:00,120 --> 01:41:02,800
Speaker 6: down to common games. What we know is Pittsburgh's already

1767
01:41:02,840 --> 01:41:06,280
Speaker 6: beaten them once at Baltimore this month, and the season

1768
01:41:06,439 --> 01:41:10,920
Speaker 6: ends with Pittsburgh hosting Baltimore even a Ravens win, and

1769
01:41:10,960 --> 01:41:11,519
Speaker 6: they are winning.

1770
01:41:11,600 --> 01:41:12,080
Speaker 3: Right now.

1771
01:41:12,640 --> 01:41:15,120
Speaker 6: There's still one game back of the Steelers with two

1772
01:41:15,160 --> 01:41:17,120
Speaker 6: to play, and they have that head to head to

1773
01:41:17,160 --> 01:41:20,960
Speaker 6: finish the season. It's looking like it's very possible that

1774
01:41:21,000 --> 01:41:24,040
Speaker 6: they'll split the two games for the season, which means

1775
01:41:24,080 --> 01:41:27,120
Speaker 6: they'll finish with the same division record, which means the

1776
01:41:27,160 --> 01:41:30,160
Speaker 6: common games on your schedule is the next tiebreaker your

1777
01:41:30,200 --> 01:41:32,880
Speaker 6: percentage in that when you're breaking a tie between two

1778
01:41:32,920 --> 01:41:35,880
Speaker 6: clubs within a division. I have read that Baltimore would

1779
01:41:35,880 --> 01:41:39,160
Speaker 6: advance by virtue of a better record in the common

1780
01:41:39,200 --> 01:41:42,639
Speaker 6: games play. USA Today pointed out that no matter what

1781
01:41:42,720 --> 01:41:45,280
Speaker 6: else happens over the next two games, if the Steelers

1782
01:41:45,360 --> 01:41:47,960
Speaker 6: just finished the sweep with the Ravens, the Steelers secure

1783
01:41:48,000 --> 01:41:48,559
Speaker 6: the division.

1784
01:41:48,600 --> 01:41:48,920
Speaker 3: That's that.

1785
01:41:50,120 --> 01:41:52,600
Speaker 6: You wouldn't believe how many teams are going to be

1786
01:41:52,640 --> 01:41:55,280
Speaker 6: looking at that Colts game tomorrow night as they host

1787
01:41:55,360 --> 01:41:59,320
Speaker 6: San Francisco. First off, your reference, Detroit they lost at

1788
01:41:59,320 --> 01:42:03,040
Speaker 6: home twenty nine, twenty four to two Pittsburgh. That loss

1789
01:42:03,160 --> 01:42:08,519
Speaker 6: clinches playoff spots for Chicago and San Francisco. New England

1790
01:42:08,520 --> 01:42:11,360
Speaker 6: blew a chance to clinch its division last week. Tonight,

1791
01:42:11,400 --> 01:42:13,800
Speaker 6: with a win, they would clinch a playoff spot, or

1792
01:42:14,880 --> 01:42:17,040
Speaker 6: even if they lose tonight, New England would clinch a

1793
01:42:17,040 --> 01:42:21,840
Speaker 6: playoff spot with a Colts loss tomorrow, and Jacksonville after

1794
01:42:21,880 --> 01:42:24,720
Speaker 6: a win today clinch is a playoff spot with a

1795
01:42:24,800 --> 01:42:28,719
Speaker 6: Colts loss tomorrow. The Chargers, after a win today, clinch

1796
01:42:28,840 --> 01:42:32,320
Speaker 6: a playoff spot with a Colts loss tomorrow. The Bills,

1797
01:42:32,320 --> 01:42:35,280
Speaker 6: who won today would clinch a playoff spot with a

1798
01:42:35,400 --> 01:42:39,600
Speaker 6: Colts lost tomorrow. All of that, just in the AFC

1799
01:42:39,800 --> 01:42:43,519
Speaker 6: online is on the line for I know, the Colts

1800
01:42:43,560 --> 01:42:45,719
Speaker 6: are at home, but a Colts team that has lost

1801
01:42:45,800 --> 01:42:48,600
Speaker 6: five of six and is having Philip Rivers start at

1802
01:42:48,680 --> 01:42:51,960
Speaker 6: quarterback again against a Niners team that's won four in

1803
01:42:52,000 --> 01:42:54,160
Speaker 6: a row and is up to ten and four. That's

1804
01:42:54,200 --> 01:42:56,320
Speaker 6: the Monday night matchup. And for those who didn't hear

1805
01:42:56,360 --> 01:42:59,120
Speaker 6: us earlier, the Rams had already clinched a playoff spot,

1806
01:42:59,120 --> 01:43:02,120
Speaker 6: but Seattle this week clinched one in Philadelphia with the

1807
01:43:02,120 --> 01:43:05,160
Speaker 6: win yesterday clinch the NFC East.

1808
01:43:04,920 --> 01:43:06,519
Speaker 1: Crown Holiday week.

1809
01:43:07,160 --> 01:43:10,080
Speaker 2: We like happiness, Why don't we just have that Colts

1810
01:43:10,120 --> 01:43:10,879
Speaker 2: lost tomorrow?

1811
01:43:12,360 --> 01:43:12,559
Speaker 3: Right?

1812
01:43:12,720 --> 01:43:17,400
Speaker 1: I mean yeah? I mean the Niners wear red.

1813
01:43:17,439 --> 01:43:20,599
Speaker 2: They could just be like Santa Claus and just fly

1814
01:43:20,800 --> 01:43:23,560
Speaker 2: through the nation and give gifts to everybody.

1815
01:43:23,600 --> 01:43:25,639
Speaker 1: That would be wonderful. Don't you think that.

1816
01:43:25,680 --> 01:43:29,400
Speaker 6: One defeat would clinch a playoff spot for fourteen fourteen

1817
01:43:29,640 --> 01:43:33,200
Speaker 6: one fell swooned lot of people. And this is not

1818
01:43:33,280 --> 01:43:35,200
Speaker 6: the final weekend of the season. This is still with

1819
01:43:35,360 --> 01:43:37,040
Speaker 6: two games left for everybody.

1820
01:43:37,160 --> 01:43:38,000
Speaker 1: Yep. Wow.

1821
01:43:38,120 --> 01:43:41,360
Speaker 6: Late third quarter, it's seventeen thirteen Ravens leading it home

1822
01:43:41,400 --> 01:43:44,840
Speaker 6: against the Pats because Derrick Henry had an early touchdown run.

1823
01:43:44,960 --> 01:43:48,200
Speaker 6: He does have a fumble tonight as well. Fourteen carries,

1824
01:43:48,320 --> 01:43:51,719
Speaker 6: ninety six yards and the score for him. Quarterback Lamar

1825
01:43:51,840 --> 01:43:54,559
Speaker 6: Jackson left late in the first half with a back injury.

1826
01:43:54,600 --> 01:43:56,880
Speaker 6: He took a knee to the side. Really a running

1827
01:43:56,880 --> 01:43:59,960
Speaker 6: back Trevion Henderson of New England left with a concussion.

1828
01:44:00,360 --> 01:44:03,400
Speaker 6: Drake May with an early interception but also a one

1829
01:44:03,479 --> 01:44:07,320
Speaker 6: yard touchdown pass as well. Zay Flowers on an eighteen

1830
01:44:07,439 --> 01:44:10,759
Speaker 6: yard run got the Ravens the lead here in the third.

1831
01:44:11,200 --> 01:44:14,360
Speaker 6: The Pittsburgh win was twenty nine twenty four Detroit, as

1832
01:44:14,400 --> 01:44:17,240
Speaker 6: the Lions apparent TD on the final play was nullified

1833
01:44:17,280 --> 01:44:21,720
Speaker 6: by offensive pass interference. Detroit plays on Christmas at Minnesota. Boy,

1834
01:44:21,720 --> 01:44:24,559
Speaker 6: that Christmas lineup looked great when the season started, didn't

1835
01:44:25,200 --> 01:44:27,200
Speaker 6: It is kind of failing left and right. I mean

1836
01:44:27,240 --> 01:44:29,799
Speaker 6: they're still gonna get I mean people will find the streaming,

1837
01:44:29,840 --> 01:44:32,120
Speaker 6: they'll do all of that, but it's not quite what

1838
01:44:32,240 --> 01:44:34,439
Speaker 6: it was. Let's leave it at that. It's the one

1839
01:44:34,439 --> 01:44:36,400
Speaker 6: good thing that's happened to the NBA. I feel like

1840
01:44:36,479 --> 01:44:39,520
Speaker 6: in the last two months is to good point. Oh hey,

1841
01:44:39,120 --> 01:44:42,280
Speaker 6: maybe that's so good for the NFL. Houston won at

1842
01:44:42,320 --> 01:44:44,560
Speaker 6: seventh in a row, beating Las Vegas twenty three to

1843
01:44:44,640 --> 01:44:48,719
Speaker 6: twenty one, Atlanta and Carolina with wins. That Panthers victory

1844
01:44:48,800 --> 01:44:51,559
Speaker 6: was twenty three to twenty against Tampa Bay Road wins

1845
01:44:51,560 --> 01:44:54,360
Speaker 6: for the Chargers in Buffalo. Jacksonville won at sixth to

1846
01:44:54,400 --> 01:44:57,280
Speaker 6: eight thirty four to twenty at Denver, ending of Broncos

1847
01:44:57,360 --> 01:45:00,960
Speaker 6: eleven game win streak. Minnesota won sixth teen thirteen at

1848
01:45:00,960 --> 01:45:04,640
Speaker 6: the Giants, who've lost nine straight. Vikings quarterback JJ McCarthy

1849
01:45:04,720 --> 01:45:07,400
Speaker 6: left with a right hand injury. By the way in Cleveland,

1850
01:45:07,439 --> 01:45:10,559
Speaker 6: Brown's running back Quinchawn Judkins was carted off with a

1851
01:45:10,600 --> 01:45:15,200
Speaker 6: broken leg and dislocated ankle. Cincinnati won at Miami forty

1852
01:45:15,200 --> 01:45:17,920
Speaker 6: five twenty one New Orleans over the Jets twenty nine

1853
01:45:17,960 --> 01:45:21,080
Speaker 6: to six. Chiefs quarterback Today Gardner Minshew left with a

1854
01:45:21,120 --> 01:45:25,080
Speaker 6: knee injury. They fear a torn acl Already, quarterback Patrick

1855
01:45:25,120 --> 01:45:28,559
Speaker 6: Mahomes was out with torn knee ligaments. Tennessee beat Kansas

1856
01:45:28,560 --> 01:45:31,240
Speaker 6: City twenty six to nine. I'll say it out loud,

1857
01:45:31,520 --> 01:45:34,400
Speaker 6: it's that bad for the Chiefs right now. The Titans

1858
01:45:34,560 --> 01:45:37,120
Speaker 6: entered with a two to twelve record and had not

1859
01:45:37,160 --> 01:45:38,960
Speaker 6: won a home game at about a year. They'd lost

1860
01:45:39,000 --> 01:45:44,960
Speaker 6: eleven straight at home until today. Oh Sandy, excuse me,

1861
01:45:45,200 --> 01:45:48,240
Speaker 6: the Tennessee Titans. I'm looking at the stats. They had

1862
01:45:48,280 --> 01:45:52,519
Speaker 6: the second worst offense in the league to the Raiders.

1863
01:45:52,560 --> 01:45:56,080
Speaker 6: So that's how bad things are that a twenty six

1864
01:45:56,120 --> 01:46:01,080
Speaker 6: to nine final is posted by the Titans. Again, Casey NBA,

1865
01:46:01,320 --> 01:46:03,040
Speaker 6: we had the highest scoring game in the league so

1866
01:46:03,160 --> 01:46:05,960
Speaker 6: far this season. Chicago wins at Atlanta one fifty two

1867
01:46:05,960 --> 01:46:10,400
Speaker 6: to one fifty at New York Jalen Brunson forty seven points,

1868
01:46:10,479 --> 01:46:14,360
Speaker 6: eight assists, no turnovers. Nicks beat Miami one thirty two

1869
01:46:14,439 --> 01:46:17,600
Speaker 6: to one. Twenty five victories for San Antonio and Minnesota

1870
01:46:17,640 --> 01:46:20,800
Speaker 6: again Brooklyn as well. The late games. In Sacramento, the

1871
01:46:20,880 --> 01:46:23,920
Speaker 6: Kings are six and twenty two. They're only down thirty

1872
01:46:23,920 --> 01:46:27,360
Speaker 6: one to thirty after the first quarter against the Houston Rockets. Meanwhile,

1873
01:46:27,400 --> 01:46:31,480
Speaker 6: at Golden State's Arena, nineteenth rank usc and women's basketball

1874
01:46:31,640 --> 01:46:35,000
Speaker 6: is leading Cow sixty to fifty seven, and can I

1875
01:46:35,080 --> 01:46:39,760
Speaker 6: mention two other college basketball results just to close things off.

1876
01:46:40,280 --> 01:46:43,160
Speaker 6: You may have heard of Hannah Hidalgo in women's basketball

1877
01:46:43,280 --> 01:46:46,519
Speaker 6: Superstar at twentieth rank Notre Dame. She not only had

1878
01:46:46,560 --> 01:46:50,920
Speaker 6: another triple double, she achieved it with thirty points, ten assists,

1879
01:46:50,920 --> 01:46:52,560
Speaker 6: and thirteen steals.

1880
01:46:52,680 --> 01:46:53,280
Speaker 3: Oh darn.

1881
01:46:53,600 --> 01:46:57,960
Speaker 6: Her team at home beat Bellermine one ten to thirty eight.

1882
01:46:58,439 --> 01:47:02,160
Speaker 6: And here there's almost seven thousand on hand on campus

1883
01:47:02,160 --> 01:47:04,760
Speaker 6: at Notre Dame for this game. The losing side had

1884
01:47:04,920 --> 01:47:08,519
Speaker 6: thirty three turnovers in a forty minute game. There was

1885
01:47:08,640 --> 01:47:12,320
Speaker 6: men's hoops at Navy today. Attendance was seven hundred and seventy.

1886
01:47:13,040 --> 01:47:19,040
Speaker 6: Navy beat Rosemont seventy to twenty three. In that game Rosemont, PA.

1887
01:47:19,280 --> 01:47:24,080
Speaker 6: Apparently the visitors had five baskets the entire day, five

1888
01:47:24,200 --> 01:47:27,799
Speaker 6: for forty If you break it down from three point range,

1889
01:47:27,840 --> 01:47:31,599
Speaker 6: three for twenty on two pointers, just two for twenty

1890
01:47:32,320 --> 01:47:38,280
Speaker 6: five baskets, nineteen turnovers, Navy seventy to twenty three over Rosemont,

1891
01:47:38,400 --> 01:47:41,040
Speaker 6: updating the Baltimore Ravens with the ball and the lead

1892
01:47:41,120 --> 01:47:43,960
Speaker 6: under two minutes to go in the third seventeen thirteen

1893
01:47:44,080 --> 01:47:45,360
Speaker 6: Ravens over New England.

1894
01:47:45,360 --> 01:47:49,519
Speaker 2: Back to you, all right, and the Ravens have the

1895
01:47:49,560 --> 01:47:52,880
Speaker 2: ball because of a fake punt that did not go

1896
01:47:53,040 --> 01:47:55,800
Speaker 2: well to say the least, So they will take over

1897
01:47:56,040 --> 01:47:58,080
Speaker 2: already in Patriots territory.

1898
01:47:58,160 --> 01:48:02,400
Speaker 1: Not deep, but in Patriot it's territory. And as Steve said.

1899
01:48:02,320 --> 01:48:08,040
Speaker 2: Up by four and time is a wasting What do

1900
01:48:08,040 --> 01:48:10,880
Speaker 2: you think of a call by Mike brad all right?

1901
01:48:10,920 --> 01:48:12,479
Speaker 1: So does he move down in the Coach of the

1902
01:48:12,520 --> 01:48:16,559
Speaker 1: Year vote? Now? Yeah, okay, I told you i'd pull

1903
01:48:16,640 --> 01:48:17,599
Speaker 1: up the odds. I got him.

1904
01:48:17,680 --> 01:48:21,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know what, Now this is prior to

1905
01:48:21,680 --> 01:48:29,000
Speaker 2: today's play, but it's after Thursday's play. Okay, So prior

1906
01:48:29,040 --> 01:48:33,120
Speaker 2: to today's play. The favorite at plus one point eighty

1907
01:48:33,439 --> 01:48:37,840
Speaker 2: is Mike Vrabel. Mike Rabel, but he from just said

1908
01:48:37,840 --> 01:48:40,120
Speaker 2: he is now ineligible because he tried to fake a punt.

1909
01:48:40,680 --> 01:48:43,760
Speaker 1: It didn't work. Yes, surging to.

1910
01:48:43,760 --> 01:48:45,760
Speaker 2: Number two though, and again this is fresh off of

1911
01:48:45,800 --> 01:48:50,439
Speaker 2: the Thursday Mike McDonald of the Seattle Seahawks at plus

1912
01:48:50,479 --> 01:48:55,160
Speaker 2: two twenty. Ben Johnson is number three at plus three fifty.

1913
01:48:56,040 --> 01:48:59,800
Speaker 2: Nothing is going to change there after last night. Kyle

1914
01:49:00,040 --> 01:49:03,719
Speaker 2: Anahan is right on his tail at plus four hundred

1915
01:49:04,800 --> 01:49:07,800
Speaker 2: as the fourth choice, and then the fifth choice at

1916
01:49:07,840 --> 01:49:10,599
Speaker 2: plus one thousand is Liam Cohen.

1917
01:49:10,640 --> 01:49:14,160
Speaker 3: But again that is prior they didn't take them serious.

1918
01:49:14,160 --> 01:49:15,320
Speaker 3: They don't take them serious either.

1919
01:49:15,400 --> 01:49:18,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, that, but that is prior to what is definitely

1920
01:49:18,840 --> 01:49:21,479
Speaker 2: his most impressive win of the year today.

1921
01:49:21,680 --> 01:49:24,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think changed.

1922
01:49:24,320 --> 01:49:25,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, that that may change.

1923
01:49:25,800 --> 01:49:27,960
Speaker 2: And then it's also just funny, like I mean, the

1924
01:49:27,960 --> 01:49:30,639
Speaker 2: Bears got just they got outplayed all night last night,

1925
01:49:31,360 --> 01:49:34,760
Speaker 2: They got played outplayed all night last night, and and

1926
01:49:34,920 --> 01:49:38,479
Speaker 2: and largely against a backup quarterback, and then things tick

1927
01:49:38,560 --> 01:49:42,080
Speaker 2: their way in the very end, and give them credit,

1928
01:49:42,160 --> 01:49:45,160
Speaker 2: they made plays, they went in overtime, and everyone's like

1929
01:49:45,160 --> 01:49:47,960
Speaker 2: this Ben Johnson guy can really coach, and it's like,

1930
01:49:49,640 --> 01:49:53,559
Speaker 2: I mean, but he has. He's done a wonderful He's

1931
01:49:53,560 --> 01:49:58,799
Speaker 2: done a wonderful, wonderful thing exactly it was supposed to happen,

1932
01:49:58,840 --> 01:50:04,439
Speaker 2: but not this quick. Again, while I really look for

1933
01:50:04,720 --> 01:50:08,559
Speaker 2: players who looked one way with someone else who then

1934
01:50:08,680 --> 01:50:12,519
Speaker 2: suddenly pop, Caleb Williams is another one. Now maybe that's

1935
01:50:12,520 --> 01:50:15,200
Speaker 2: not fair because it's year two, so maybe he's just

1936
01:50:15,280 --> 01:50:19,599
Speaker 2: coming into the situation. But I think Ben Johnson also

1937
01:50:19,640 --> 01:50:20,600
Speaker 2: gets some credit for that.

1938
01:50:21,360 --> 01:50:26,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so. Look, I think what the league

1939
01:50:27,000 --> 01:50:32,479
Speaker 3: has is a great situation, great coaching, yep, and people

1940
01:50:32,640 --> 01:50:36,360
Speaker 3: understanding that coaching matters. You can have all the first

1941
01:50:36,439 --> 01:50:38,519
Speaker 3: round draft picks or at a quarterback, and you can

1942
01:50:38,520 --> 01:50:42,639
Speaker 3: have all that, but coaching really matters. And I think

1943
01:50:42,720 --> 01:50:46,080
Speaker 3: we're getting to see a large sample size of that

1944
01:50:46,840 --> 01:50:54,120
Speaker 3: because teams that no one expected to be anywhere they're everywhere.

1945
01:50:54,360 --> 01:50:57,000
Speaker 1: Yep. And I love that. I love that for the league,

1946
01:50:57,000 --> 01:50:59,640
Speaker 1: and I love that for these teams. I do too.

1947
01:50:59,720 --> 01:51:02,880
Speaker 2: But I tried to start warning everybody about this last week.

1948
01:51:03,000 --> 01:51:06,559
Speaker 2: I want everyone to like, Okay, the Chiefs are not

1949
01:51:06,720 --> 01:51:09,599
Speaker 2: in it, and you mentioned Joe Burrow.

1950
01:51:09,640 --> 01:51:11,519
Speaker 1: The Ravens might not be in it.

1951
01:51:12,560 --> 01:51:16,960
Speaker 2: I know Josh Allen is gonna get this supposed free shot,

1952
01:51:17,439 --> 01:51:19,200
Speaker 2: but he might need to do so on the road.

1953
01:51:20,320 --> 01:51:25,400
Speaker 1: Put it this week free. Yeah, Like, I know, everyone's like,

1954
01:51:25,520 --> 01:51:29,799
Speaker 1: this is so great to get new fresh blood. Don't

1955
01:51:29,840 --> 01:51:30,920
Speaker 1: get mad.

1956
01:51:32,320 --> 01:51:36,479
Speaker 2: If the Jacksonville Jaguars are playing the Seattle Seahawks in

1957
01:51:36,520 --> 01:51:37,200
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl.

1958
01:51:40,240 --> 01:51:41,920
Speaker 1: Don't come crying to me.

1959
01:51:41,960 --> 01:51:45,960
Speaker 2: And Aphroim is, Oh, it's just so exciting to have

1960
01:51:46,040 --> 01:51:50,640
Speaker 2: all this new fresh blood. Sometimes that can end up

1961
01:51:50,680 --> 01:51:52,120
Speaker 2: driving people in the other direction.

1962
01:51:53,680 --> 01:51:54,920
Speaker 3: Well, we'll see.

1963
01:51:55,200 --> 01:51:58,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're gonna see. We gon' see, We're gonna see,

1964
01:51:58,880 --> 01:52:02,800
Speaker 1: no question about that. All right, got a few more

1965

Speaker 1: minutes on our ledgers, so let's do them. We're in

Speaker 2: Sitting in front of me, my man, I have the

1990
01:53:28,800 --> 01:53:38,120
Speaker 2: top twelve names on the current MVP of the NFL Award.

1991
01:53:39,320 --> 01:53:44,479
Speaker 2: Top twelve names current odds. You want to know who's

1992
01:53:44,560 --> 01:53:45,240
Speaker 2: not on here?

1993
01:53:45,320 --> 01:53:45,680
Speaker 1: Take one.

1994
01:53:45,760 --> 01:53:48,080
Speaker 2: Guess who I'm thinking of who's not even on here?

1995
01:53:49,760 --> 01:53:51,559
Speaker 2: And there's a reason I ask it that way because

1996
01:53:51,560 --> 01:53:55,080
Speaker 2: I know you could be like, well, I could come

1997
01:53:55,160 --> 01:53:56,639
Speaker 2: up with a lot of names who aren't on there.

1998
01:53:57,240 --> 01:54:01,400
Speaker 2: But there's somebody who at a certain point this year

1999
01:54:01,479 --> 01:54:04,080
Speaker 2: was at the top of the list, and now he's

2000
01:54:04,080 --> 01:54:08,720
Speaker 2: not even on here. Baker Mayfield, You're damn right. What

2001
01:54:08,840 --> 01:54:09,719
Speaker 2: happened to those guys?

2002
01:54:09,800 --> 01:54:12,640
Speaker 3: I don't know what happened? Man, That was bizarre.

2003
01:54:13,200 --> 01:54:15,680
Speaker 1: And I know you like injuries.

2004
01:54:16,120 --> 01:54:18,400
Speaker 3: Well, everybody had injuries.

2005
01:54:18,720 --> 01:54:20,720
Speaker 1: And a lot of teams had him even worse.

2006
01:54:20,479 --> 01:54:23,080
Speaker 3: Than them, and it wasn't him who was hurt, so right.

2007
01:54:22,920 --> 01:54:23,479
Speaker 1: And he did.

2008
01:54:23,520 --> 01:54:26,320
Speaker 2: He got dgged, he missed the second half of the

2009
01:54:26,360 --> 01:54:29,800
Speaker 2: Rams game. I know he's fighting his stuff, but his

2010
01:54:29,880 --> 01:54:33,120
Speaker 2: guys are all back, you know, Mike Evans is back

2011
01:54:33,160 --> 01:54:37,839
Speaker 2: and Chris Godwin his back, and that was today.

2012
01:54:38,040 --> 01:54:40,600
Speaker 1: Bucky Irving is back. Like you know.

2013
01:54:40,680 --> 01:54:44,720
Speaker 2: They they gaped that game away last Thursday against the Falcons.

2014
01:54:45,680 --> 01:54:50,240
Speaker 1: What happened? Seven and eight? Man?

2015
01:54:50,560 --> 01:54:53,520
Speaker 3: They at one point they were what seven and one?

2016
01:54:54,640 --> 01:54:55,440
Speaker 1: Uh?

2017
01:54:55,560 --> 01:54:58,040
Speaker 2: Let me look it up. Let me look up. How

2018
01:54:58,040 --> 01:54:59,600
Speaker 2: many in a row they have lost?

2019
01:54:59,720 --> 01:55:04,320
Speaker 1: They have? No, they're six of their last seven.

2020
01:55:04,360 --> 01:55:06,160
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, seven.

2021
01:55:06,040 --> 01:55:12,560
Speaker 2: And don't don't six seven me the Cardinals. They beat

2022
01:55:12,560 --> 01:55:16,240
Speaker 2: the Cardinals back in week thirteen. But outside of that,

2023
01:55:16,400 --> 01:55:19,200
Speaker 2: it was three losses before that, three losses after that,

2024
01:55:20,680 --> 01:55:23,480
Speaker 2: and and that's since thereby, since thereby they are one

2025
01:55:23,840 --> 01:55:24,560
Speaker 2: and six.

2026
01:55:25,520 --> 01:55:29,240
Speaker 3: Yeah. I don't really know how to I do. I

2027
01:55:29,320 --> 01:55:35,240
Speaker 3: don't know what happened. But do you want to talk

2028
01:55:35,280 --> 01:55:41,400
Speaker 3: about a dramatic fall from from grace goodness?

2029
01:55:42,520 --> 01:55:47,320
Speaker 1: Hmm? You?

2030
01:55:47,400 --> 01:55:50,400
Speaker 2: How many times since that bye? Baker Mayfield has thrown

2031
01:55:50,440 --> 01:55:51,480
Speaker 2: for two hundred yards?

2032
01:55:51,840 --> 01:55:57,839
Speaker 1: How many times? Twice? Oh? No, in seven games? Twice

2033
01:55:57,840 --> 01:55:58,720
Speaker 1: in seven games.

2034
01:55:58,880 --> 01:56:01,720
Speaker 2: I didn't make this about like you and I didn't

2035
01:56:01,720 --> 01:56:03,360
Speaker 2: get a chance to talk about this too much because

2036
01:56:03,360 --> 01:56:05,320
Speaker 2: it was on a Thursday. But the Todd Bowles press

2037
01:56:05,360 --> 01:56:08,680
Speaker 2: conference after last Thursday's game week and a half ago

2038
01:56:09,240 --> 01:56:13,480
Speaker 2: got a lot of attention because you may remember he

2039
01:56:13,480 --> 01:56:18,120
Speaker 2: he flat out he started blaming players. He's just like,

2040
01:56:18,120 --> 01:56:19,520
Speaker 2: I don't know what you want the coaches to do.

2041
01:56:19,560 --> 01:56:24,520
Speaker 2: We've done everything we could do, which is always a no.

2042
01:56:24,680 --> 01:56:26,160
Speaker 1: It's thank you for saying sign.

2043
01:56:26,520 --> 01:56:28,240
Speaker 2: A lot of people would say it's not a good look,

2044
01:56:28,720 --> 01:56:31,280
Speaker 2: and I'm like it, maybe it isn't a good look,

2045
01:56:31,320 --> 01:56:35,680
Speaker 2: but that also doesn't make him wrong. And yeah, you

2046
01:56:35,720 --> 01:56:39,160
Speaker 2: wonder what's something is really really off?

2047
01:56:40,800 --> 01:56:42,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I don't think they have the answers to

2048
01:56:42,880 --> 01:56:51,320
Speaker 3: it currently obviously. You know, does that mean Carolina is

2049
01:56:51,360 --> 01:56:52,320
Speaker 3: winning a division?

2050
01:56:52,520 --> 01:56:54,360
Speaker 1: They might? They might.

2051
01:56:54,520 --> 01:56:56,360
Speaker 2: They got to play each other again in two weeks.

2052
01:56:57,520 --> 01:56:59,560
Speaker 2: Got to play each other again in two weeks, and

2053
01:56:59,640 --> 01:57:03,680
Speaker 2: the game that Carolina plays in between is against the Seahawks.

2054
01:57:04,360 --> 01:57:06,880
Speaker 2: So that's difficult.

2055
01:57:06,960 --> 01:57:07,840
Speaker 3: It ain't getting easy.

2056
01:57:07,960 --> 01:57:13,640
Speaker 2: That's difficult. It's not at Seattle. But yeah, Carolina is

2057
01:57:14,800 --> 01:57:16,040
Speaker 2: driver's seat, but not clinched.

2058
01:57:16,040 --> 01:57:20,760
Speaker 3: Well with that team. You it wouldn't surprise me if

2059
01:57:20,880 --> 01:57:22,920
Speaker 3: like that. They've been like that all year where they

2060
01:57:23,040 --> 01:57:24,840
Speaker 3: just pop up me like, who the hell is this team?

2061
01:57:24,920 --> 01:57:27,240
Speaker 1: Well, look what they did to the Rams. Ye Rams.

2062
01:57:27,240 --> 01:57:29,320
Speaker 2: Of all four games this year, you could argue that

2063
01:57:29,360 --> 01:57:36,280
Speaker 2: three of them were against really good teams and fluky Philly, Niners, Seahawks,

2064
01:57:36,320 --> 01:57:41,400
Speaker 2: all very close and all had bad breaks involved in them.

2065
01:57:41,920 --> 01:57:44,440
Speaker 2: The one time they just flat out got outplayed was

2066
01:57:45,360 --> 01:57:48,360
Speaker 2: against the Panthers for whatever reason.

2067
01:57:50,280 --> 01:57:52,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, they are. That's an anomaly.

2068
01:57:52,920 --> 01:57:53,720
Speaker 1: It's a weird team.

2069
01:57:54,040 --> 01:57:57,120
Speaker 3: It's very weird, but also scary.

2070
01:57:57,400 --> 01:57:58,240
Speaker 1: Sure they can be.

2071
01:57:58,760 --> 01:58:01,120
Speaker 3: Who wants to say ye up for We don't. We're

2072
01:58:01,120 --> 01:58:02,280
Speaker 3: not quite sure what's coming.

2073
01:58:03,240 --> 01:58:06,640
Speaker 2: M Yeah, the five, the five seed in the NFC,

2074
01:58:07,760 --> 01:58:11,879
Speaker 2: if it ends up at Carolina, will probably be favored.

2075
01:58:12,560 --> 01:58:14,120
Speaker 1: But you're right, Yeah, it's scary.

2076
01:58:14,800 --> 01:58:18,440
Speaker 3: Well look man, happy Uh, Chris Mahanna Quantica.

2077
