33
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 1: still late on a Monday in the West, and our

34
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: lead story some patty Cake fun under the darkness powered

35
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 1: by moonlight there and it was the final game of

36
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 1: the week thirteen card in the NFL. Jackson Dart leading

37
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 1: the Giants, they drove the honey Wagon into Foxborough to

38
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: take on Drake May and the Patriots in the Commonwealth.

39
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: Were you watching this game? New elland a sizable favorite

40
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 1: the Fox Refugees Joe Buck and Troy Aikman on ABC.

41
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: They had the call there on television, so I don't

42
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: know if you were checking this game out or not.

43
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: It really wasn't much else to watch. I can't really

44
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:02,239
Speaker 1: watch the NBA much during the regular season, so don't worry.

45
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: We watched so you would not have to watch. And

46
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,519
Speaker 1: let's see what did we see. Let's say, oh, yes, right,

47
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 1: Drake May living up to the hype. He passed for

48
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: a couple of touchdowns. The Patriots special teams were extra

49
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 1: special good. They get a Neon Eraser Marcus Jones generic

50
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: name but not a generic player at a ninety four

51
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: yard putt return for a touchdown. And the Patriots kept

52
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 1: the good times rolling along as they become the first

53
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: NFL team into the eleven win club, and they beat

54
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: up the Giants, who aren't so giant thirty three to fifteen.

55
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: Good coaching change there for the Giants. That's fixed that

56
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: franchise right right from the beginning there. Oh and three

57
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: now I believe with the new coach. So it was

58
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: the tenth straight win. I'm told that's good for the Patriots.

59
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:58,119
Speaker 1: Ten straight wins the AFC leaders the new only patri

60
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 1: eleven and two on the the franchise's longest winning streak

61
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: some since some guy named Tom Brady and some guy

62
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: named Bill Belichick were there. That was back in twenty fifteen.

63
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: So Mike Rabel, who took some time off because he

64
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 1: didn't get a job after the Patriots' former Patriot player

65
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: was let go by the Tennessee Titans. He was schmoozing

66
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,280
Speaker 1: at Ohio State. Now he's in the NFL A game

67
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 1: with the Patriots, and Mike Rabel has become now the

68
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:29,599
Speaker 1: third coach since nineteen seven. It's fifty five years to

69
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 1: win ten or more games in his first season with

70
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 1: a new employer. That is a good jumping off points.

71
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: So let us discuss the question, how would you describe

72
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 1: coach Mike Rabel's Patriots the performance that we saw. Patriots

73
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 1: don't play a lot of these primetime games, so how

74
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: would you describe the performance of Mike Rabel's Patriots in

75
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 1: the Monday night game. So I've got us military dance

76
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: class and nature doc entry, and we will combine all

77
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 1: of these things together and we're gonna make pulled barbecue

78
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,919
Speaker 1: chicken sandwiches. We're gonna make it. They're gonna be freaking delicious,

79
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 1: and you're gonna love them, and you're gonna get baked

80
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: potato action going the whole thing, all right, So tell me, yeah,

81
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 1: a this was what we call a boom box game

82
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: for the Patriots. As a boombox game, it did not

83
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: go the way I anticipated the game would go. But

84
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: that's why they played the games. That's why they play

85
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: the games. There Mike Rabel turning the volume up on

86
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 1: that boombox to eleven all the way up to eleven,

87
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: smashing the base there and really sticking it to the

88
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: giants and put putting them in the food processor and

89
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,679
Speaker 1: setting it to pure in the first half of this game,

90
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: as it was oh v e r at halftime games

91
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: are they pigged out on a bad opponent. That's what

92
00:05:55,640 --> 00:06:00,160
Speaker 1: good teams do, beat bad teams convincingly. And it was

93
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: like a midweek buffet special for the Patriots, of course,

94
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 1: not midweek, the end of the week end, of the

95
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 1: weekend beginning of the new week, so New England. What

96
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:13,679
Speaker 1: they did is they met expectations. They met expectations period

97
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: full stop. They were supposed to win by a lot.

98
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 1: They won by a lot. And this was a team

99
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 1: that was a heavy favorite the Patriots coming into this game.

100
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,280
Speaker 1: The kind of a game that if you look at

101
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 1: it on a tablet. He said, well, this was actually

102
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,919
Speaker 1: a classic trap spot. And if you watched Benny Versus

103
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: the Penny on YouTube. We talked about it on the

104
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: TV show. We discussed it that you had the Thanksgiving hangover,

105
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 1: you had the bye week looming, the final week of

106
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 1: the Buyser's upcoming for the Patriots and the Giants as

107
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 1: well some other teams. But the bye week is coming

108
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:44,720
Speaker 1: up for them, so they're going to be in can

109
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 1: Coon on vacation. And then you've also got, in addition

110
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: to that, a makeship offensive line, make shift offensive line,

111
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 1: a couple of starters gone from the Patriots offensive line,

112
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 1: and the offensive line they tossed out there looked like

113
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,920
Speaker 1: it was something that was built from akia Ikia and

114
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 1: it was not built following the instruction. You just kind

115
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,600
Speaker 1: of put it together there. But none of that mattered,

116
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:08,919
Speaker 1: not an ounce of that matter. It didn't matter in

117
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: this game. Mike Rabel squad comes in here and with

118
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: a level headed approach, blue collar, blue collar. Again, these

119
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: guys are all rich, but that mindset that we always

120
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: talk about this, you know, take care of do your

121
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: job with Belichick used to say, and then they flipped

122
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: on the boombox again. They cranked up the volume a

123
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 1: little higher and they hit the Bachmann turner overdrive. Taking

124
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 1: care of business is what they did, was what they did.

125
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: They took care of exactly what you would expect them

126
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 1: to do. They did no frills, no real razzle dazzle

127
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 1: other than the special teams played. But it was a

128
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: scorched earth policy. And the first half of this game

129
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,119
Speaker 1: barbaric is the word. They were barbaric in the first

130
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: half of the game, talking us military style, by land,

131
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: by sea, by air, in this case, by offense, by defense,

132
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: by special teams, all phases of the game. Body blow,

133
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 1: body blow, body blow. And by the time we got

134
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 1: the halftimes, thirty to seven at halftime, thirty to seven,

135
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 1: thirty to seven at halftime, and there was an obese woman,

136
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 1: a fat lady was singing, and right there before the

137
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 1: two minute warning in the first half, she was singing.

138
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 1: And there you go, turn out the last. The party

139
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: is over. So a wood shed job by the Patriots

140
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: in this game. They turned the giants into mulch is

141
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 1: what they did. They turned them into most Now, as

142
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 1: for the hardware, a lot of discussion MVPTE, MVT PTE, MVP. Well,

143
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,559
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford had a dud in his game. He was

144
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 1: the MVP favorite coming into the weekend. Ram's lost to Carolina.

145
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 1: That's embarrassing. So here's Drake May's opportunity to show the

146
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: world that he's mister MVP MV pay. So the question

147
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 1: now the morning after or the few hours after the

148
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,199
Speaker 1: game here as we're talking after that Monday night football

149
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: win Patriots quarterback Drake May. His twenty twenty five MVP campaign, better,

150
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 1: worse or the same? Drake May's MVP campaign this season,

151
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,839
Speaker 1: now thirteen weeks into the campaign, on the campaign trail,

152
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: are things better, worse or the same? All right, So

153
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go first. I don't think we should overthink this.

154
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 1: Drake May gave a simpotical performance on the Monday night game.

155
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: Was great. It completed almost eighty percent of his passes,

156
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 1: averaged nine yards per pass, had a couple of touchdowns,

157
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 1: didn't have any mistakes, no turnovers, and had a solid

158
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 1: stat line across the board. Very clean, polished performance by

159
00:09:54,840 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 1: Drake May. NFL quarterbacking one O one one oh one.

160
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 1: He was basically the vallee victorian of error free football,

161
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 1: which is important. Nevertheless, I would say, in terms of

162
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,680
Speaker 1: the actual meat of the matter, let's pump the brakes

163
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 1: on this somehow being a climbing of the ladder situation.

164
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 1: I didn't see it that way, and it could not

165
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 1: have been why because of the opponent you played. The Giants,

166
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 1: they blow they're two and ten, They benched their top

167
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 1: defensive player, didn't even play the first quarter of the

168
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 1: game where you jumped out to a massive lead, and

169
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: they came in there and it's like the Giants did

170
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 1: play in the Northeast and it gets cold in New

171
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 1: York with there was thirty degrees at kickoff, and it

172
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 1: was just kind of you wanted to sit inside. Some

173
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 1: of you would be outside. They played like snowmen in

174
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 1: that in that way, it was no snow, but they

175
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 1: played like it. They looked like they needed to jumper

176
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: cables the Giants and get in their stand. They got

177
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 1: their doors smashed in this one. But you don't really

178
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 1: win an MVP contest. You don't win points and gain ground.

179
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 1: If you look at the exit polling, you don't gain

180
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 1: ground by beating up the lazy Bones brigade from the Giants,

181
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 1: a lot of lazy bones there. So it was really

182
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:16,200
Speaker 1: dance class and Drake May he did the sideway shuffle.

183
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 1: Do the shuffle, now you gotta do the shovel. The

184
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: sideway shove, not a moonwalk. You didn't moon walk forward

185
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 1: and didn't do that. In the MVP race. He certainly

186
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:29,439
Speaker 1: did not do a pratfall that didn't happen, didn't go backwards,

187
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 1: more like stay in your light. He stayed in his lane,

188
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:38,719
Speaker 1: put on cruise control, self driving situation, and just kind

189
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 1: of waved politely at everyone who was outside and look,

190
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: I'm driving. I'm actually not driving the cars driving itself.

191
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 1: And so the malor mantra, which we have preached from

192
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: the bully pulpit for many many years here is you

193
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 1: don't get extra credit for doing what you're supposed to do.

194
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,439
Speaker 1: Like your big favorite at home. You're supposed to win

195
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 1: the game against an fear of your opponent that clearly

196
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: has quit. That's a bunch of gutlass Giants players. So hey,

197
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 1: through what you're supposed to do. They did. So the

198
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,440
Speaker 1: verdict not better for Drake May on the campaign trail,

199
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: not worse, the same, the same, And so it was

200
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 1: more of a maintenance night situation. No Heisman House moment,

201
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 1: No Heisman House moment here all right now, last word

202
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 1: the story that many people are freaking out about on

203
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 1: the Giant side, and it's not the fact they've got

204
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 1: a bunch of lazy guys that didn't really want to

205
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 1: play this game after missing the previous two games. We

206
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 1: were hoping for Jamis Winston. We were counting on Jameis

207
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 1: Winston playing. He did not, which is disappointing because he's

208
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 1: fun bad and Jackson Dart, who's not terrible. I don't

209
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 1: hate Jackson Dart, but I was looking forward to seeing

210
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 1: Jameis Winston play. So Jackson Dart missed the previous two

211
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 1: games with a concussion, and everyone and their mother yapping

212
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 1: about the play. If you saw the game in the

213
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 1: first half, was a bone crushing, bone crushing hit taken

214
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 1: by the Giants quarterback Jackson Dart on the sidelines that

215
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 1: led to a scuffle. There was a rhubarb that took

216
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,439
Speaker 1: place right there on the sidelines, and it was early

217
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 1: in the game. Patriots linebacker Christian Ellis knocking Dart. His

218
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 1: eyeballs went a little goofy. He hit him so hard there.

219
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 1: It was right on the sidelines and knocked him, knocked

220
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 1: him into the shadow realm. The hit was was vicious.

221
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:31,719
Speaker 1: You don't normally see that here Dart. Jackson Dart was

222
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:35,199
Speaker 1: actually flying like a lawn Dart, which you don't often

223
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 1: see in an NFL game anymore. Since Dart was still

224
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: in bounds, there was no penalty and no harm, no

225
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 1: foul or in this case harm but no foul. So

226
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,839
Speaker 1: there you go. Now everyone's like, oh my god, we

227
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 1: must protect Jackson Dart, we must save Jackson Dart. Well,

228
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 1: here's Jackson Dart. He was asked about that. Here's what

229
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,199
Speaker 1: he had to say postgame about whether or not he's

230
00:13:58,200 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 1: going to change anything.

231
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 3: I understand the question, but like this is like this

232
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 3: is football, Like I'm gonna get hit if I'm in

233
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,199
Speaker 3: the pocket or outside the pocket, Like it's out of

234
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 3: I feel like I've played this way my whole entire life.

235
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:18,680
Speaker 3: There shouldn't be like any shocker at anybody. If you've

236
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 3: followed along with my career and I'm we're not playing

237
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 3: like we're not playing soccer out here, Like you're gonna

238
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 3: get hit.

239
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 1: Things happen.

240
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 3: It's part of the game.

241
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 1: See that I say, we're not playing soccer football. We're playing football,

242
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 1: which is not football. It's football. There's a difference, all right.

243
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 1: So the question on this one's rather obvious, but we'll

244
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 1: address it to those of you in the back of

245
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 1: the room. So where are you at on the Giants?

246
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 1: Jackson Dart saying, hey, I'm not changing the way that

247
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 1: I play, even though he got knocked silly by a

248
00:14:56,800 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 1: Patriot defender. So look, I'll go first year. I'm good

249
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 1: with it. I'm good with it. I'm not like these

250
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 1: other guys freaking out. Everyone's trying to do a therapy

251
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 1: session with Jackson Dart. I'm not enough already enough helicopter

252
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 1: parenting of quarterbacks and listen, Jackson Dart essentially said, he said, relax,

253
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 1: Francis is what he said. This is football. It's not

254
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 1: Pilate's class. It's not there. Right across the courtyard there's

255
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 1: a hot yoga place. It's not hot yoga, Okay, it's not.

256
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 1: It's just something else. And you know what, I like that.

257
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 1: I think that's that's kind of cool. I'm not a

258
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 1: Giants fan, I'm not a Jackson Dart fan. I'm a

259
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 1: neutral party here. But if this guy wants to play

260
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: like that. The Giants knew what they were getting when

261
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 1: they drafted him, and he wants to play. And it's

262
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 1: like he's a throwback, although he's too young to have

263
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 1: been raised with NHL, NHL NFL films, those there's NFL films,

264
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 1: those VHS tapes with all the hits and the fiberglass

265
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 1: helmets and human meat missiles flying around the field and

266
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 1: all that, And so this is who Jackson Dart apparently is.

267
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 1: I like that he addressed that, like if you followed

268
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 1: my career, like everyone's following Jackson Dart's career, Like, I mean,

269
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 1: I know we're all losers, but we're not that big

270
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 1: of a loser where we're following your career. Dude, so

271
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 1: chilled out on that. But telling Jackson Dart to avoid

272
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 1: the hits is akin to asking Kyler Murray to not

273
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 1: play Call of Duty. Now, the Cardinals tried to get

274
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray to not play Call of Duty. They had

275
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 1: to take it out of the contract because the little

276
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 1: fella loves the PlayStation, loves the place. It'd be like

277
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 1: the Chief saying, hey, mahomes, can you not eat what

278
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 1: a burger? He loves water burger. That's what he enjoys.

279
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 1: Whataa burger? What a shot? What a burger? He's all

280
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 1: about that. It's baked into the DNA. So if you're

281
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 1: gonna get Jackson Dart to stop taking hits, you got

282
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 1: to get Kyler Murray to stop being obsessed with video games.

283
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 1: Neither one of those things is going to happen. You

284
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 1: can't take the fangs out of a rattlesnake, cannot do it.

285
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 1: And by the way, the NFL again they celebrated this,

286
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:04,640
Speaker 1: so this is one of those things again. It's like, oh,

287
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:07,439
Speaker 1: those a million years ago boomer Well, okay, maybe it was.

288
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 1: But there was a time where and I remember the

289
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:13,880
Speaker 1: name of it. It was called Thunder and Destruction from

290
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 1: NFL Films, the NFL's Hardest hits, Thunder and Destruction narrated.

291
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 1: It was like a nature documentary, but gladiators of the

292
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:30,360
Speaker 1: Gridiron gladiators. It was great. And now all these years

293
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:34,639
Speaker 1: later we act like quarterback taking a hit or getting

294
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 1: involved in any kind of contact is some kind of

295
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:42,199
Speaker 1: federal crime. There needs to be some war tribunal. And

296
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 1: I was like, no, that was kind of cool. I

297
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 1: was like, wow, that's the NFL was like not every

298
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:52,160
Speaker 1: single play every single game. However, there were points where

299
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 1: it happened a couple times a game. And if Jackson

300
00:17:56,119 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 1: Dart wants to do some cosplay as a crash test dummy,

301
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:04,879
Speaker 1: then let him. He's an adult. He signed up for

302
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 1: the circus. And when you sign up for the circus,

303
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 1: you know, the lions actually do bite. They're not fake lions,

304
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 1: they actually do bite there, and the elephants will actually

305
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,200
Speaker 1: step on you, so you might want to pay attention there.

306
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 1: And you're not playing trivial pursuit, you're not. And so

307
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 1: there you go. It's the hurt business. You're in the

308
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:28,560

309
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:33,720

323
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 1: this hour will circle back later on to the Monday

324
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 1: Night beat down as the Patriots get another win and

325
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 1: they're sitting pretty in the catbird seat in the American

326
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 1: Football Conference, the first team to eleven wins. But our

327
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 1: lead this hour is from Sin City because bad football

328
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 1: makes for good talk radio. The fallout from the flop,

329
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 1: the floppy mcflop that is the Raiders. So former Raiders

330
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 1: coach Antonio Pierce. Remember this guy was born to be

331
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:50,479
Speaker 1: a Raider and had the whole marketing campaign and the

332
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:54,199
Speaker 1: fan base fell in love with him and lasted just

333
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 1: a full season and then it was turn out the

334
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:01,439
Speaker 1: last the parties over. So he did an interview this

335
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,159
Speaker 1: week and it's about who cares what he has to say? Well,

336
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 1: I thought this was interesting, and I have the key

337
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 1: to the microphone. So here I am, so Antonio Piers.

338
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:14,160
Speaker 1: It says he said, not I said he said. Antonio

339
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 1: Pierce said that he doesn't think the Raiders bad mojo

340
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,159
Speaker 1: will be solved anytime soon. So if you didn't see this,

341
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:27,159
Speaker 1: perhaps not. Pierce says that if the Raiders continue to

342
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:29,919
Speaker 1: go the way they're going, and they've gone down that

343
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 1: path of this season, he says they might need decades

344
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:38,719
Speaker 1: decades to fix this bad boy. That's a quote. They

345
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 1: might need decades to fix this bad boy, Pierce said

346
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:46,400
Speaker 1: during a TV appearance at AP as his friends call him,

347
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:50,640
Speaker 1: talked about the one and done changes as the Raiders

348
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:55,640
Speaker 1: have handed out pink slips to two of the three coordinators.

349
00:20:55,760 --> 00:21:00,199
Speaker 1: The special teams coach got whacked, the offensive coodator was

350
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 1: molly whacked, and the offensive coordinator he's gone, as I

351
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 1: said Chip Kelly. The defensive coordinator has not been curb

352
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 1: stomped yet, but only because it's Pete Carroll's like pretty

353
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 1: much doing everything on defense. So that's where we are

354
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 1: right now, he says. Everyone is Antonio. Pierce said, everyone's

355
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:20,919
Speaker 1: pointing fingers, but at some point there has to be

356
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 1: a thumb pointing back offered that before. I've heard that before.

357
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 1: All right, so that is a good jumping off point.

358
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 1: So let us discuss the question. Former NFL head coach,

359
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 1: Antonio Pierce says, the Raiders may need decades, decades to

360
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:43,360
Speaker 1: fix because of the dysfunction in the building. Your thoughts.

361
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:50,639
Speaker 1: So I've got mashed potatoes, boarding pass and law of

362
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:54,200
Speaker 1: the Jungle, and we will combine all of these things

363
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 1: together and we are going to make some delicious kettle corn,

364
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 1: is what we're going to make. So a let's start here.

365
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:06,680
Speaker 1: Antonio Piers did not just light a match. He lit

366
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:11,200
Speaker 1: a Molotov cocktail and loved it. He loved the Molotov

367
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:16,119
Speaker 1: cocktail right into the Silver and Black Circus tent. All right,

368
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:19,440
Speaker 1: Darren Henderson at that big Raider facility there, you know what,

369
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 1: No lies detected, No lies detected. This is a fresh wound.

370
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 1: It's an open wound. It is not scabbed over for

371
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:32,120
Speaker 1: Antonio Piers. And he said, well, it's just a disgruntled

372
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:33,919
Speaker 1: former employee. But is he wrong?

373
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 2: Is he wrong?

374
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:40,680
Speaker 1: Yeah? If you look at what Pierce did, and he said,

375
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,119
Speaker 1: well he wasn't that good at coach. Okay, what about

376
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 1: the fossilized Pete Carroll, good old Pete positive Pete positively

377
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:52,399
Speaker 1: sucks as Raider coach. Look at the slop they've trotted

378
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 1: out on the field and Pierce. If you do a

379
00:22:55,720 --> 00:23:00,399
Speaker 1: side by side between Antonio Pierce and Pete Carroll Tonio

380
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 1: Piers is looking more and more like a young John

381
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:08,160
Speaker 1: Madden reincarnated with a clipboard and a boom mic. My god.

382
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 1: Compared to the Raiders season this year, I saw the

383
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 1: Raiders in person. They're an embarrassedment. Gino Smith should not

384
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:15,960
Speaker 1: even be in the NFL. He's that bad. The guy

385
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 1: just sucks. He's so terrible it's wild. And the fact

386
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 1: that Antonio Pierce did better with Gardner Minshew and Aidan

387
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:28,920
Speaker 1: O'Connell last season. Now, I get that Pierce was going

388
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:32,880
Speaker 1: for shock value, the shock and awe with the quote.

389
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 1: But sometimes the truth is the shock, Like that's the thing, right,

390
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:40,640
Speaker 1: The truth is the shock. That is the thing there.

391
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:44,679
Speaker 1: The dysfunction junction, what's your function? That runs through the

392
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:49,120
Speaker 1: entire organization fun our Raiders. It runs through the organization

393
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:53,359
Speaker 1: like gravy through mashed potatoes, like a mashed potato volcano

394
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 1: with gravy everywhere, and standing in the middle of it.

395
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 1: You know, he's standing right in the don't knee deep

396
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 1: in mashed potatoes and right there with the gravy. Human

397
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:11,160
Speaker 1: traffic code. Mark Davis. Yeah, that guy, the spawn the

398
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:16,160
Speaker 1: next generation there, spawn of VL and my god. So

399
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:18,879
Speaker 1: you know, you can always find Mark Davis at the

400
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 1: PF chain's right near the Raider facility there inhaling Kung

401
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 1: pou chicken and making terrible decisions, rolling the dice and

402
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:30,439
Speaker 1: on the craps table. And it comes back snake eyes

403
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 1: every single time. It's snake eyes. You hire. Normally, what

404
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:38,479
Speaker 1: you do in business is you hire good employees and

405
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 1: get the f out of a way. Whether you're running

406
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 1: a professional sports team, you're running a radio station, a factory,

407
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 1: a trucking business, whatever it might be, the most important

408
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:52,440
Speaker 1: part is to hire good people and then just let

409
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:56,359
Speaker 1: them work. That's it, right, And if you're an NFL owner,

410
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 1: you just hire a good executive and a smart execut

411
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 1: of a quality head coach and get out of the way.

412
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 1: And what's going on now? Not in Raiderland, all right,

413
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 1: not in Radlo. Mark Davis is the common denominator in

414
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 1: most of this run. Now, Al Davis was actually still

415
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 1: around at the beginning of this debacle, but he was

416
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:20,359
Speaker 1: really old, good old Al. So it goes back twenty

417
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 1: three years. That's an entire generation of face plants for

418
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:28,680
Speaker 1: the Raider franchise, and the Raiders have become Area fifty one,

419
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 1: the football version. It's a mysterious barren, possibly occupied by

420
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:40,360
Speaker 1: extraterrestrial and competent land out there in the Nevada desert.

421
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 1: And now you got pretty boy Tom Brady, Tom Brady,

422
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 1: the man that is the teflon dawn at the end

423
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 1: of it. I don't see anyone ripping tom Brady like

424
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 1: we're not part of the mainstream. We're on overnight. The

425
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:56,359
Speaker 1: mainstream media will not go there. They will not go there.

426
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 1: I wonder why that is. I wonder why there's Tom

427
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:03,879
Speaker 1: Brady there tinkering. He is the GM by proxy of

428
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:07,919
Speaker 1: the Raiders. And let's see he signed off on Chip Kelly.

429
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 1: Give chip Kelly the most money of any offensive coordinator. Check.

430
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 1: Let's hire Pete Carroll. Check Geno Smith the biggest crime

431
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,359
Speaker 1: of them all to not only trade for Geno Smith,

432
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 1: to then pay Geno Smith more money. This is a

433
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 1: Vegas residency. The Raiders here of bad decisions and perform

434
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 1: nightly at the Collapse theater right on the strip there

435
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 1: the Raider Nation, as it is called. They deserve better.

436
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:41,880
Speaker 1: They deserve better, and you don't see that the Raider charging.

437
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:43,640
Speaker 1: A lot of Raider fans, they're older. I don't see

438
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:46,199
Speaker 1: many young Raider fans because they have been cool in

439
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:49,880
Speaker 1: a long time. But they're stuck in this barren wasteland,

440
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:54,439
Speaker 1: the Raiders of rubble and minefields and abandoned trenches of

441
00:26:54,480 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 1: what used to be the Raiders decades. Twenty years, twenty years,

442
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:04,360
Speaker 1: I mean Mike guy So and Antonio Piers, the way

443
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:05,639
Speaker 1: things have gone the last couple of years of the

444
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 1: Raiders things. Actually, he might be optimistic to say that

445
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:10,119
Speaker 1: twenty years is all it's gonna take.

446
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:10,199
Speaker 2: All.

447
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:13,680
Speaker 1: Right, Now to Minnesota we go a roster move. Did

448
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:17,360
Speaker 1: the Vikings actually add a quarterback that knows how to throat? No, Instead,

449
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 1: they fired franchise icon Adam Feelin bye bye one day

450
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 1: after he was a healthy scratch, which is what you

451
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:28,359
Speaker 1: don't want to be. He was a healthy scratch and

452
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:32,919
Speaker 1: the shutout loss to the Seattle football team. Adam Feelin

453
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:36,359
Speaker 1: turns out he wanted to be fired. That's how bad

454
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:40,639
Speaker 1: the Vikings are. Franchise legend would rather go to the

455
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 1: unemployment line than finish the year in the purple of

456
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:51,720
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings. It's crazy, absolutely crazy, and the Vikings

457
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 1: traded for this guy from Carolina. They traded some day

458
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 1: three draft picks, but who cares about that, But they

459
00:27:57,760 --> 00:27:59,639
Speaker 1: traded for the guy to add to the roster so

460
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:02,119
Speaker 1: we could retire as a Minnesota Viking and finished the

461
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 1: year on the Vikings of the Vikings are so bad

462
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:06,200
Speaker 1: that this guy's like, I don't want to be here.

463
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 1: I gotta leave, and so they asked for the release.

464
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:14,160
Speaker 1: The decision was made. It ends the second and final

465
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:17,399
Speaker 1: stint with the Purple People leaders for Adam Thielen, his

466
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 1: hometown team, and now he's gone there. He ranks third

467
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 1: in career touchdown catches. I'm told that's good, fourth in receptions.

468
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 1: I'm also told that's good, and fifth in receiving yards,

469
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 1: which I also have heard is pretty good for the

470
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 1: Minnesota Viking now, he said. In a prepared statement posted

471
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:35,159
Speaker 1: on the social media which likely he had nothing to

472
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:40,480
Speaker 1: do with. Adam Feelin said that he long ago decided

473
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 1: that this would be his final season and he wanted

474
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 1: to go to a new place, go compete somewhere else.

475
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 1: He said, they want to go compete somewhere else. The

476
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 1: last few weeks of my career. Question, here's the question,

477
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 1: what do you make of Adam Thieland asking for and

478
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 1: received the pink slip, the release from the Minnesota Vikings.

479
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 1: So let's just call this what this is. Adam Thielen

480
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 1: is ring chasing. In fact, right now he's sprinting through

481
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 1: the terminal B at the Minneapolis Saint Paul International Airport

482
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 1: there trying to find his boarding pass to catch a

483
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 1: flight to Glorytown. He wants to go, not Glory Hole.

484
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 1: That's where Jerry Jones goes. Jerry goes to Glory Hole. No, no, no,

485
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 1: he wants Adam Thieling wants to go to Glorytown, which

486
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 1: is a different town. It's the next town over. Well, no,

487
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 1: this is Glorytown. This is a little different here. But

488
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 1: this is not complicated. It's not the Vikings are admitting.

489
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 1: He's like, we suck and there is no chance, we

490
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 1: have no future. Okay, we like you. We are going

491
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 1: to let you go. That's what this is. And he

492
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 1: saw the Viking office. The other thing about is steeling

493
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 1: came over from Carolina. He saw the Vikings offense. The

494
00:29:55,920 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 1: headless horseman, no quarterback got shut out. Now he didn't play

495
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 1: in this game, but get shutout loss there throw back

496
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 1: to the leather helmet era of the NFL, and he said,

497
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 1: I'm out. I'm good, see you later, suckers. Let me

498
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 1: find a contender before I completely fade the black. I

499
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 1: got to get out of here. And the Vikings agree,

500
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 1: They told them, he yeah, Adam, go ahead, thanks for

501
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 1: the memories. Don't let the door hit you where the

502
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 1: Good Lord split you. And that's it, so feeling. We

503
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 1: call this the shady move. It's the Shady McCoy move.

504
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if you know who that is. Lashawan

505
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 1: Shady McCoy, who did a TV show at one point

506
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 1: that nobody watched. I don't know what he's doing now,

507
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 1: but Shandy McCoy, a legacy Polisher tour, a last shady

508
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 1: McCoy for Adam feelin. Now, Yeah, you hop on a contender,

509
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 1: You play I don't know, fifteen snaps or something like that,

510
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 1: maybe less than that. You get your little ring that

511
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 1: you'll sell on an auction at Sotheby's at some point.

512
00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 1: There you pose with the ring on Instagram and there

513
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 1: you go and you make it seem like you're Jerry

514
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 1: Rice or something like that in his prime, because you

515
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 1: want the bling bling. It's all about the bling blink.

516
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 1: So the Malor wheel of speculation, the malor wheel of

517
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 1: speculators never all round and round for Adam Feeling, malar

518
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 1: wheel of speculation, big money, big money. He stop. Here

519
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 1: we go, Buffalo, Here we go Buffalo, and you got

520
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 1: the terrible towels and the Carolina cats. That's it, that's

521
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 1: all Buffalo. They need receive they just added, they just

522
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 1: added a guy that can't play in Cook's brand. And

523
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:40,480
Speaker 1: so say you got another one, right, And they're collecting

524
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 1: these washed up wide receivers in Buffalo and just need

525
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 1: them to be on the roster and they can run

526
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 1: around like roombus out there. And then Pittsburgh. We'll talk

527
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:54,960
Speaker 1: more about this later, but Aaron Rodgers story that still

528
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 1: has legs Rogers unloading on the wide receiver room there

529
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 1: and so they don't know what they're doing, and they've

530
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 1: been scolded by Aaron Rodgers for mental mistakes. So she

531
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 1: got that in Carolina. The comedy on that one writes itself.

532
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:14,520
Speaker 1: So they Carolina traded him. Now Minnesota's fired him, Adam Feelin,

533
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 1: and they could bring him back like an Amazon return

534
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 1: that says like an Amazon return. So Feeling is not

535
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 1: trying to He's not trying to save anyone season. He's

536
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 1: not that good. He's just trying to get some nice

537
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 1: photos for the scrapbook and a nice trinket for the

538
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 1: retirement celebration. One last shot. This happens more in basketball

539
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 1: than football. A lot of guys in basketball have chased

540
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 1: rings and it's like, well you win, but it's not

541
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 1: quite the same deal, but you get one. It's like

542
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:54,719
Speaker 1: not normal football activity. Not normal football activity. A right

543
00:32:54,800 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 1: last word to the former player land where all injured

544
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 1: now cliche Field sportscaster JJ Watt is not not buying

545
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 1: into all the chatter about NFL referees must be full time.

546
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 1: They've got to be full time. That'll fix everything, everything

547
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 1: at all that's wrong in the NFL full time referece. Well,

548
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 1: he said no. He said no. That he was asked

549
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 1: about that on the Socials JJ Watt and whether it's

550
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 1: a good time to revisit the full time referee argument

551
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:31,479
Speaker 1: which has been going on. Watt pushed back on that.

552
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:36,480
Speaker 1: He pointed out that the human element is a big

553
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:38,680
Speaker 1: part of this, which is a correct point. So JJ

554
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 1: Watt pushing back on the full time NFL referee argument

555
00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 1: fixing the issues? Does this make sense to you? So,

556
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 1: after a minute long Mallard deliberation, yes, I actually think

557
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 1: JJ Watt nailed it dead center of the bullseye. For

558
00:33:57,040 --> 00:34:01,280
Speaker 1: JJ Watt, the idea that making refere foreze full time

559
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 1: magically fixes everything is vercocta is what it is, right,

560
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 1: It's a fugazy it's nonsense, just like Baseball thinks that

561
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 1: using AI eventually will fix the umpire and well, though

562
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:18,239
Speaker 1: someone's going to have to program it, someone's gonna have

563
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:20,279
Speaker 1: to monitor it. There'll be some glitches and some thing

564
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 1: of a jigs and watch mccaus to go wrong. But

565
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:26,360
Speaker 1: in terms of the NFL issue, making officials full time,

566
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:30,799
Speaker 1: it's it's unnecessary. You could totally do it. It'll make

567
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 1: people feel better, and it's all other full time this

568
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:37,719
Speaker 1: is it, okay? Uh yeah uh. But the problem is

569
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:41,360
Speaker 1: they're not like they're humans. They're not laptops. You can't

570
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:44,520
Speaker 1: just reboot them. That's the problem there. And they're flesh

571
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:48,160
Speaker 1: and blood zebras is what they are. And humans, I

572
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:50,279
Speaker 1: don't know if you heard about this. Humans f up,

573
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 1: Humans screw up. It's it's part of the human condition.

574
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 1: It's the malar law of the jungle. If it can

575
00:34:56,680 --> 00:35:01,600
Speaker 1: be botched, okay, eventually someone will botch it. It's the

576
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:05,520
Speaker 1: Malard law of the jungle. And you could lock every

577
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:10,400
Speaker 1: official into a film room for ten to twelve hours

578
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:13,359
Speaker 1: a day, three hundred and sixty five days a year,

579
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 1: no holidays off and spoiler alert, spoiler alert, they'd still

580
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 1: miss a holding penalty. They'd still screw up a defensive

581
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:27,520
Speaker 1: pass interference penalty. They left that up. And here's why.

582
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 1: Because half half the NFL rule book is subjective versus objective,

583
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 1: meaning belief versus fact. There's a lot of shades of gray,

584
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 1: more than fifty shades of gray when it comes to

585
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:45,280
Speaker 1: the officiating. And if you're one of these, you must

586
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:49,160
Speaker 1: call every penalty you want, every little tug, call the penalty.

587
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 1: And I know people like this that, friends of mine,

588
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:55,839
Speaker 1: they're like this, fine, Okay, that's good. Everyfing game will

589
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:59,239
Speaker 1: be six and a half hours. There'll be seventy four

590
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:03,040
Speaker 1: penalty and one hundred and forty replays. Is that what

591
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:06,080
Speaker 1: you want? You do? Okay? I hope you get it, loser,

592
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:08,880
Speaker 1: I hope you get that. You loser because you're a loser,

593
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 1: all right. You gotta let the game breathe. You gotta

594
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:14,600
Speaker 1: let the game breathe, but not too much. Right, there's

595
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 1: this sweet spot, it really, it's a sweet spot. And

596
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:22,920
Speaker 1: the full time crowd, the group with their torches and

597
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 1: their pitchforks. We need full time the nerdoust colony, if

598
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:30,960
Speaker 1: you will, of football sikos. They want one hundred percent

599
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:36,279
Speaker 1: accuracy and newslash. It's never going to happen. You're never

600
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:38,439
Speaker 1: going to get one hundred percent accuracy. Not gonna happen,

601
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:42,719
Speaker 1: and not with humans, not even with robots. Okay, football

602
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 1: is not math. It is chaos. And it's the old

603
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:48,239
Speaker 1: argument we make all time, this letter of the law

604
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:52,279
Speaker 1: versus the spirit of the law. The NFL survives on

605
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:54,840
Speaker 1: the spirit of the rule book, not the letter of

606
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:57,759
Speaker 1: the rule book. And so jj Watt again to mark

607
00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 1: this full circle is correct that the fixing of the

608
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:05,200
Speaker 1: reps is not a job title or full time, part

609
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:08,800
Speaker 1: time situation. It is a reality problem.

610
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:11,120

00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:17,120
Speaker 1: It's Mallard, how about that?

613
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:19,960
Speaker 2: To the third degree.

614
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:23,920
Speaker 1: This is one big vent gets grilled cool.

615
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:27,400
Speaker 5: After the Buccaneers ended their three game losing streak on Sunday,

616
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 5: Baker Mayfield said the team is quote very very close

617
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:33,080
Speaker 5: to where they want to be on offense. Ben, do

618
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:35,560
Speaker 5: you think that with Bucky Irving and Chris Godwin back

619
00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:37,560
Speaker 5: and playing well, that Tampa can return to being the

620
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:39,319
Speaker 5: playoff beat that they seem to be early on.

621
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 1: Well, yes, but only because of the division that they're in.

622
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 1: You need a hazmad suit in that division. Sants are horrific,

623
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:49,759
Speaker 1: Atlanta blows, they're going to fire their coaching staff there,

624
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 1: and Carolina's got some wings, but nobody takes them seriously.

625
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:57,919
Speaker 1: Someone's going to win that division. Tampa bays in good

626
00:37:57,960 --> 00:37:59,759
Speaker 1: shape to win that. It's a dead man zone. So

627
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:01,719
Speaker 1: by location, yes.

628
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:03,919
Speaker 5: Next a few weeks ago, it seemed like the Colts

629
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 5: could run away with the AFC South. Not only have

630
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 5: the Jets taken over first place, but the Texans are

631
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:09,280
Speaker 5: right on both of their heels.

632
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:11,040
Speaker 6: What do you think comes out ahead in this the

633
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:11,720
Speaker 6: end of the season.

634
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 1: Well, I love the Texans defense, and so I'm going

635
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:16,600
Speaker 1: I don't believe in CJ. Strapp, but I don't believe

636
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:19,839
Speaker 1: in Trevor Lawrence either so uh, and certainly Daniel Jones.

637
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:22,479
Speaker 1: I would say the top unit is the defensive unit

638
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:24,880
Speaker 1: of the Texans. So if you're gonna put your money

639
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:26,880
Speaker 1: on one of those teams, I would take the Houston

640
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:27,880
Speaker 1: Texans next.

641
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:30,439
Speaker 6: Dan Orlovsky set an a post on X Monday.

642
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:33,680
Speaker 1: We'll stop right if dan Orlovsky said something. If dan

643
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:35,080
Speaker 1: Orlovsky go ahead?

644
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:38,200
Speaker 5: Uh, he said the Miami Dolphins are a dangerous football

645
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 5: team right now. Dangerous have totally transformed their offensive identity.

646
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:42,840
Speaker 1: Oh stop?

647
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 6: Is any of that believable?

648
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 1: Yes, here's how they've done that. They played the Let's

649
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 1: go the Atlanta Falcons, the Commanders, and the Saints in this.

650
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:53,640
Speaker 1: Come on, I don't buy it. It's nonsense. How do

651
00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:54,800
Speaker 1: we do? Koupolo passes?

652
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:57,319
Speaker 4: I won the game?

653
00:38:57,440 --> 00:38:58,200
Speaker 6: Jet who played?

654
00:38:58,280 --> 00:38:59,120
