By the way, some of these 0:01:23.280 --> 0:01:26.120 bowl games have been pretty entertaining. We've got a couple 0:01:26.120 --> 0:01:28.080 of five or six over till about. 0:01:27.880 --> 0:01:30.120 Kansas State last night coming back. That was fun. 0:01:30.640 --> 0:01:31.160 Toledo. 0:01:32.000 --> 0:01:33.759 Chris Clemb's do an amazing job. 0:01:33.800 --> 0:01:34.760 Man was that. 0:01:34.760 --> 0:01:36.919 I think he's won three Bowl games last four years. 0:01:37.120 --> 0:01:38.040 You'll get enough credit. 0:01:38.120 --> 0:01:41.880 You got a Colorado and BUYU this weekend, so that'll 0:01:41.880 --> 0:01:42.520 be a fun one. 0:01:43.400 --> 0:01:46.160 So I did see an article, how the what was 0:01:46.200 --> 0:01:49.160 it claiming it was like Deon Sanders gets a historical 0:01:49.440 --> 0:01:52.200 amount of insurance for Shador Sanders and Travis Hunter to 0:01:52.200 --> 0:01:56.280 play in it. It's like, okay, like it's not the 0:01:56.320 --> 0:01:59.160 first time that's ever happened. We don't need to make 0:01:59.200 --> 0:02:01.680 it bigger than what it is. This is actually pretty 0:02:01.680 --> 0:02:05.160 common and this dates back, I don't know, decades of 0:02:05.240 --> 0:02:06.800 players get insurance before games. 0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:13.119 Did you get insurance? Bar I certainly did. Sweet Yeah 0:02:13.120 --> 0:02:13.440 I did. 0:02:13.600 --> 0:02:17.280 Yeah, my whole my whole last year, my junior year, 0:02:17.320 --> 0:02:19.200 I got the whole season in short. 0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:21.560 Yeah, I was gonna say, like, it's common for a 0:02:21.560 --> 0:02:25.080 lot of guys to get insurance before the entire season, 0:02:25.360 --> 0:02:30.120 and it usually ends up being quote unquote historical because 0:02:30.240 --> 0:02:33.880 every year the draft goes up in value as far 0:02:33.919 --> 0:02:37.240 as what that player is making. So if you're slated 0:02:37.240 --> 0:02:39.600 to be a first round pick or however it works, 0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:42.400 or projected to be a top ten pick, whatever it is, 0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:45.760 they're gonna add on what, three four percent, whatever it is. 0:02:45.800 --> 0:02:49.480 So every year it's historical in nature. But I love 0:02:49.480 --> 0:02:50.400 how we read the headlines. 0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:57.480 Now Nick Sirianni's at it again, the pison passion in Philly. 0:02:57.639 --> 0:02:58.240 The passion. 0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:00.760 Apparently he had a little bit of a dust up 0:03:00.800 --> 0:03:05.440 with Zach Ertz, former Philadelphia Eagle after the game over 0:03:05.480 --> 0:03:10.200 the weekend where last weekend we're apparently beef water. Yeah, 0:03:10.240 --> 0:03:14.600 it was just kind of, you know, talking trash. He 0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:18.160 made a reference to the fact that zach Ertz didn't 0:03:18.160 --> 0:03:20.880 really do much in the game, according to Nick Sirianni, 0:03:21.240 --> 0:03:26.359 and they had to be separated. I guess they spoke afterwards. 0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:29.000 Zach Ertz said, it's all good, you know whatever. But 0:03:29.080 --> 0:03:31.399 this was Nick Sirianni discussing it yesterday. 0:03:31.800 --> 0:03:35.400 I'll just keep all my conversations with any guys private. 0:03:35.400 --> 0:03:38.400 I got a lot of respect for Zach, great football player, 0:03:39.200 --> 0:03:43.000 great person to be around. You know, I really really 0:03:43.000 --> 0:03:44.400 got a lot of respect for Zach and all the 0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:47.000 good things that he's done in my relationship with him. 0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:49.480 So it sounds like a similar tone to every time 0:03:49.560 --> 0:03:52.280 there's another dust up involving him to where he comes 0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:54.800 back afterwards. Yeah, you know, listen whether he takes a 0:03:54.840 --> 0:03:57.240 shot at the fans, whether it was getting into it, 0:03:57.320 --> 0:04:00.560 you know and yelling obscenities at Mike McCarthy last year 0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:04.480 the week, like is this just is this why there's 0:04:04.520 --> 0:04:07.240 speculation that he could be on the hot seat, Like 0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:10.040 it has nothing to do with the winds because he's 0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:12.880 won a ton of games there in Philly, but it's 0:04:12.920 --> 0:04:16.400 all the other stuff off the field that they can't trust. 0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:16.800 Him, you know. 0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:19.400 You know what's interesting about the question is when you 0:04:19.440 --> 0:04:24.960 think about when when when a player or a person 0:04:25.200 --> 0:04:29.039 in the business world, or you know, a bull and 0:04:29.040 --> 0:04:32.080 and and the bull, you know, like you're doing bull 0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:34.680 riding or whatever it may be, you know what you 0:04:34.760 --> 0:04:38.120 do to get them to perform At times? 0:04:38.960 --> 0:04:40.560 You agitate them. 0:04:40.680 --> 0:04:42.440 Hey, how did they go about agitating them? 0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:51.039 They poke them and that them truck nuts. I've seen 0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:54.159 it and I can't believe it. They would make them 0:04:54.240 --> 0:04:58.240 bulls go there, They make them bulls so upset by 0:04:58.279 --> 0:05:01.359 poking them in their sack. And I'm telling you it 0:05:01.520 --> 0:05:05.600 is the wildest thing, because once they let him free, 0:05:05.760 --> 0:05:10.560 that agitation is the reason why that that writer is 0:05:10.600 --> 0:05:13.560 in such a bad way when they get out there 0:05:13.839 --> 0:05:19.520 in the arena, right, And I think Sirianni is a poker, So. 0:05:19.600 --> 0:05:21.600 You're saying he's doing that as motivation. 0:05:22.760 --> 0:05:27.240 They're winning. And I haven't heard anything come out and 0:05:27.440 --> 0:05:32.080 report manner that would lead me to believe otherwise other 0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:35.720 than last year when Don wasn't on the sideline, and 0:05:36.160 --> 0:05:41.000 seems things seem to be spiraling a little bit last year, 0:05:41.040 --> 0:05:45.240 But since then, I just haven't heard anything that would 0:05:45.360 --> 0:05:50.320 lead me to believe that Sirianni is this toxic type 0:05:50.320 --> 0:05:53.880 of dude that is ruining the culture or ruining the 0:05:53.960 --> 0:05:55.960 locker room with the way that he is. I almost 0:05:55.960 --> 0:05:59.440 feel like it's quite quite the opposite. They're all kind 0:05:59.480 --> 0:06:02.400 of chippy, they're all kind of coming at it from 0:06:02.600 --> 0:06:06.320 from that kind of like beefing type of of approach, 0:06:06.560 --> 0:06:10.640 like we're we're Philadelphians. Like we're Philadelphia. We beef, that's 0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:13.479 what we do. We're tough where heart knows, like we're 0:06:13.520 --> 0:06:16.880 blue collar. Like it feels as though that that's kind 0:06:16.920 --> 0:06:20.479 of what the approach is. But I'm gonna lean more 0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:22.839 to that than I would say that this is why 0:06:22.839 --> 0:06:25.279 he's on a hot seat for not keeping his job. 0:06:26.640 --> 0:06:28.200 What else could point I don't know. 0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:30.279 It's not performing. I think he rubbed some people the 0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:33.599 wrong way though, and they don't like it. But I 0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:35.600 still think he gets results off of the way he's 0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:37.760 running things. 0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:40.680 Like I'm looking at it, there's two teams that have 0:06:40.760 --> 0:06:45.200 had better records and more wins since he took the 0:06:45.279 --> 0:06:50.880 job in Philadelphia, Buffalo and Kansas City, and like he's 0:06:51.040 --> 0:06:53.920 rare air, yes, and so the and but yet we're 0:06:53.920 --> 0:06:56.760 having these conversations before the year and it's you know, 0:06:56.839 --> 0:06:58.360 died down a little bit, but it's like, hey, what 0:06:58.600 --> 0:07:00.400 do they need to do for him to keep it job. 0:07:00.480 --> 0:07:03.480 Any other organization like he would already have an extension, 0:07:03.520 --> 0:07:06.320 there'd be conversations about what a performance he's off to 0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:09.960 this hot start. But with Sirianni, is this all about 0:07:10.000 --> 0:07:13.040 the fact that he's a red ass and just likes 0:07:13.080 --> 0:07:15.480 to mix it up with people, and he's pissed people off. 0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:19.720 And that's why I guess I'd look at it this way. 0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:24.200 I think Hallie Roseman really runs things there. And I 0:07:24.280 --> 0:07:27.680 think if you go back to even Chip Kelly, who 0:07:27.880 --> 0:07:31.760 we tend to forget, he was what twenty six twenty one, 0:07:31.800 --> 0:07:35.280 I think he won ten games two years in a 0:07:35.360 --> 0:07:38.880 row there and went to the playoffs, and he had 0:07:38.960 --> 0:07:42.120 rubbed some players the wrong way during his time there, 0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:46.680 but from all intensive purposes, it was a successful coach. 0:07:46.720 --> 0:07:48.920 Like his win percentage was like five point fifty three. 0:07:49.160 --> 0:07:52.880 I think Andy Reid's during his entire tenure in Philly 0:07:53.040 --> 0:07:56.000 was like five eighty three, so not too far off 0:07:56.000 --> 0:07:59.880 from that. Now, the difference was didn't have the postseason success, 0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:02.480 didn't get there in his third year, and how he 0:08:02.560 --> 0:08:06.320 Roseman want to move on, so they move on to 0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:09.000 Doug Peterson. Doug Peterson ends up leading them to a 0:08:09.000 --> 0:08:10.720 super Bowl. They win a super Bowl. Now, his win 0:08:10.800 --> 0:08:13.880 percentage was actually worse than Chip Kelly's over the course 0:08:13.920 --> 0:08:16.120 of his time there, but I think it's more about that. 0:08:16.640 --> 0:08:19.480 I think it's more about how he Roseman looking at 0:08:19.520 --> 0:08:21.880 the guy who's in that position coaching this team day 0:08:21.880 --> 0:08:25.880 in day out, and asking himself, like, can this guy 0:08:26.640 --> 0:08:29.800 lead us to a super Bowl? Because the roster is 0:08:29.800 --> 0:08:32.160 good enough to get us to the playoffs? And I 0:08:32.160 --> 0:08:34.440 don't know that anyone would deny that. I think when 0:08:34.440 --> 0:08:36.679 you look at the amount of talent they've stacked up 0:08:37.160 --> 0:08:40.320 on this roster of the years, especially when healthy, I 0:08:40.360 --> 0:08:43.839 mean their backups. A former first round pick I think 0:08:43.960 --> 0:08:47.760 very capable, and Kenny Pickett of being a starter, maybe 0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:51.520 especially if he continues to develop. Now he's playing banged up, 0:08:51.800 --> 0:08:54.559 so we'll see what that looks like. But I think 0:08:54.600 --> 0:08:56.199 it has more to do with that, and I think 0:08:56.240 --> 0:08:57.840 it has more to do with Howie Rosemanden, you look 0:08:57.840 --> 0:09:00.520 at his track record since he's been in involved with 0:09:00.559 --> 0:09:03.640 this organization, is truly the one calling the shots and 0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:05.800 truly the one evaluating the guy in the position who's 0:09:05.840 --> 0:09:08.760 the head coach saying yeah, well this team should be 0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:12.800 a playoff team. Like that is the flour it's can 0:09:12.840 --> 0:09:15.000 you get us to a super Bowl? Like we feel 0:09:15.040 --> 0:09:17.160 like we have as good, if not better of a 0:09:17.240 --> 0:09:20.720 roster than Kansas City. We just don't have Patrick Mahomes, 0:09:21.120 --> 0:09:22.640 but we like our the guy that we got in 0:09:22.679 --> 0:09:26.079 Jalen Hurts, and so if that's the case, like kind 0:09:26.080 --> 0:09:27.880 of similar to San Francisco on the run they've had 0:09:27.880 --> 0:09:30.040 of getting the NFC championships, trying to get to a 0:09:30.040 --> 0:09:32.240 super Bowl, like we should be there, we should be 0:09:32.280 --> 0:09:35.439 doing that. So I think that's where it comes from, 0:09:35.600 --> 0:09:39.960 is when you are like a high achieving organization like 0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:43.640 Philly has been, I think they look at it from 0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:45.360 a different prism, and I think they look at it 0:09:45.400 --> 0:09:48.199 and saying, like, we're trying to make sure the guy 0:09:48.200 --> 0:09:50.920 who's in that position as head coach isn't the thing 0:09:51.040 --> 0:09:54.880 preventing us from winning super Bowls and getting to super Bowls. 0:09:55.320 --> 0:09:57.440 And under Nick Sirianni, as good as they've been under 0:09:57.520 --> 0:10:00.480 the regular season, they haven't been able to get there yet. 0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:07.400 I don't know, man, I I just think if we're 0:10:07.440 --> 0:10:10.920 talking Philly and we're talking super Bowls, that's that's far 0:10:10.960 --> 0:10:14.400 and few in between. I mean Andy Reid and Doug 0:10:14.480 --> 0:10:18.679 Peterson like that's it. I mean maybe somebody before got 0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:21.400 close or whatever it may have been like way way 0:10:21.440 --> 0:10:24.160 back when. But for mel dig for Meal, there it is. 0:10:25.880 --> 0:10:30.000 But they're not a super Bowl. They're not like they 0:10:30.040 --> 0:10:33.040 won one, you know, They're not like it's not like 0:10:33.080 --> 0:10:36.760 their title town like they they come up short. Pretty 0:10:36.800 --> 0:10:40.720 much the history of the organization, they come up short 0:10:41.080 --> 0:10:45.160 and winning it all and listen setting a standard, the 0:10:45.200 --> 0:10:49.000 standard that that has been set, you can clearly tell 0:10:49.160 --> 0:10:52.120 that this is a town in a city that embraces 0:10:53.000 --> 0:10:57.240 going forward and getting close to getting it or winning it. 0:10:57.480 --> 0:10:58.640 And I understand that. 0:10:58.800 --> 0:11:01.400 But I mean, if you have if you have a 0:11:01.480 --> 0:11:05.360 coaching staff that has your product on the field performing 0:11:06.920 --> 0:11:09.760 and you're getting rid of them, you know, I don't 0:11:10.559 --> 0:11:12.520 you know, I don't know. I don't know what the 0:11:12.679 --> 0:11:15.680 end result of how to interpret that would be because 0:11:15.960 --> 0:11:18.520 it's like, am I taking a job to be judged 0:11:18.559 --> 0:11:21.800 on success or failure? Which one is it? And if 0:11:21.840 --> 0:11:26.079 the goalpost is being moved on me having success and 0:11:26.480 --> 0:11:30.080 that's what that's not enough success knowing that the history 0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:32.360 of this organization doesn't say like I could see if 0:11:32.360 --> 0:11:34.439 you go to green Bay now or not green well 0:11:34.520 --> 0:11:37.360 even green Bay, but say you go to New England 0:11:37.400 --> 0:11:40.920 and it's like your standard is to win a super 0:11:40.920 --> 0:11:43.560 Bowl and it's like kind of like super Bowl or 0:11:43.600 --> 0:11:43.960 bus there. 0:11:44.040 --> 0:11:44.440 I get it. 0:11:44.720 --> 0:11:48.120 Y'all win super bowls, Green Bay, they win super Bowls. 0:11:48.520 --> 0:11:51.040 There are places where you can look at the history 0:11:51.040 --> 0:11:53.640 of the organization and say you win super Bowls now. 0:11:53.880 --> 0:11:56.200 If you're trying to create a standard of this is 0:11:56.200 --> 0:11:59.240 where we're trying to get. I understand that. But you 0:11:59.320 --> 0:12:01.960 also got to you a tap bit flexible and and 0:12:02.120 --> 0:12:04.480 you got to have a little bit of grace because 0:12:04.920 --> 0:12:08.160 y'all don't win them. Y'all don't win super Bowls. Y'all 0:12:08.160 --> 0:12:12.600 won one. Y'all made it to to what two two? 0:12:13.040 --> 0:12:15.000 Yeah? Well with Andy Reid, well they've made it to 0:12:15.040 --> 0:12:18.600 three three three. They lost to one. They're one lost 0:12:18.600 --> 0:12:20.280 two one one yeah. Right, So there you go. 0:12:20.840 --> 0:12:25.320 I'm just saying, man, I have a little grace on. 0:12:24.440 --> 0:12:27.000 Guys that are coming in and they're having success. But 0:12:27.600 --> 0:12:32.679 you don't give people that grace if they've if they're 0:12:32.760 --> 0:12:38.880 turning people off what to know like and what you off? 0:12:39.040 --> 0:12:39.280 You know? 0:12:39.440 --> 0:12:41.480 What is it if if you if you again are 0:12:41.600 --> 0:12:45.040 proverbally what was it poking? Poking the bulls and they 0:12:45.160 --> 0:12:49.440 uh truck nuts struck nuts, which is a way of motivating, 0:12:49.679 --> 0:12:51.400 by the way, not to get off on a completely 0:12:51.440 --> 0:12:55.720 separate subject. But would that work in trying to motivate Lee? 0:12:55.880 --> 0:12:59.959 You think, uh, he'd be like poking a little bit. 0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:01.120 So what do they poke? 0:13:01.360 --> 0:13:04.080 Been poking Lee? So I just poke Lee? Maybe a 0:13:04.120 --> 0:13:05.240 couple of breaks ago in. 0:13:05.160 --> 0:13:07.920 The truck nuts Yeah, what are they poking? Poking? Is it? 0:13:08.120 --> 0:13:11.400 Are they burning them or they're just. 0:13:12.120 --> 0:13:14.439 They're not a I mean some would say that's abuse 0:13:14.520 --> 0:13:16.960 what they do, but they're not burning them. 0:13:17.080 --> 0:13:18.000 They're just poking. 0:13:19.040 --> 0:13:20.400 I mean, do you burning? 0:13:20.520 --> 0:13:20.720 Yeah? 0:13:20.720 --> 0:13:23.240 Do you gotta add burning? Like let somebody poke you 0:13:23.320 --> 0:13:25.280 in your truck nuts and see it? Like I'm just 0:13:25.280 --> 0:13:26.400 gonna say, to be burned? 0:13:27.800 --> 0:13:30.320 Does it? Does it need that much? Like to make 0:13:30.360 --> 0:13:32.280 you really think and like shock them? 0:13:32.360 --> 0:13:34.640 Huh? You like you one of them dudes? Are they shocked? 0:13:34.720 --> 0:13:36.040 You're wearing like a chastity belt? 0:13:36.040 --> 0:13:36.640 What's happening? 0:13:36.960 --> 0:13:39.040 Maybe it's one of those ones that he's gone through 0:13:39.080 --> 0:13:40.760 it so many times. You got to up the ante 0:13:40.800 --> 0:13:43.040 a little bit, so we burn them next time. 0:13:43.360 --> 0:13:45.080 I don't think that I would ever get used to 0:13:45.080 --> 0:13:46.439 somebody poking out of him. 0:13:47.280 --> 0:13:50.120 So anyway, I'm just saying, how can we motivate Lee? 0:13:50.440 --> 0:13:51.839 Is that one of the ways? Maybe give him a 0:13:51.840 --> 0:13:52.480 flick or something. 0:13:52.559 --> 0:13:54.520 I think he's motivated. I think Lee's great. 0:13:54.679 --> 0:13:57.240 Because he's there, Worsley. 0:13:57.320 --> 0:14:01.120 He's there, I'm here. I guess Lee, anybody, I think 0:14:01.160 --> 0:14:04.079 that's what he'd say if you poked them. Heyboddy, anybody 0:14:04.120 --> 0:14:06.400 what do you think you're doing there? What do you 0:14:06.400 --> 0:14:07.040 think you're doing there? 0:14:07.120 --> 0:14:12.440 Huh? It's gonna poke me there? Huh? Anybody anybody ouch? Ouch? 0:14:14.640 --> 0:14:14.840 Uh? 0:14:14.920 --> 0:14:18.720 Yeah, so uh, who knows with that Nick Siriotti. But 0:14:18.720 --> 0:14:19.520 but he's winning. 0:14:20.160 --> 0:14:25.760 And if I'm looking at the the NFC again, one 0:14:25.800 --> 0:14:28.200 of the big bad wolves that are out there is 0:14:28.240 --> 0:14:31.400 in Philadelphia. You gotta be concerned. 0:14:31.440 --> 0:14:31.640 Now. 0:14:31.720 --> 0:14:34.360 Granted, they let one get away from them this last game, 0:14:34.440 --> 0:14:38.200 I get it, but I don't think that that's indicative 0:14:38.360 --> 0:14:41.320 of where what this team is and where they're going. 0:14:41.760 --> 0:14:44.520 I think they have more than enough to be able 0:14:44.560 --> 0:14:47.560 to handle their business in in the playoffs. 0:14:47.840 --> 0:14:49.560 On the NFC side. 0:14:49.360 --> 0:14:52.440 It's looking like Kenny Pickett time this weekend though, Yeah, 0:14:52.680 --> 0:14:53.800 and I don't think is. 0:14:53.760 --> 0:14:56.200 It looking that way? I know you're a little skeptical. 0:14:56.240 --> 0:14:59.120 Who now he plays there time this week? Do we 0:14:59.160 --> 0:15:01.440 have any sound on that we can play? Is there 0:15:01.480 --> 0:15:05.320 any confirmation of Kenny Pickett's going to play? 0:15:06.040 --> 0:15:07.400 We do promise you. 0:15:10.240 --> 0:15:12.080 Yeah, I'm not going to go into detail on what 0:15:12.080 --> 0:15:13.880 it is, but you know they're getting better and I'll 0:15:13.880 --> 0:15:14.240 be ready to. 0:15:14.240 --> 0:15:15.880 Go for Sunday. Yeah, flak jacking on today. 0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:17.880 I've ever played before in those Yeah, I always have. 0:15:18.000 --> 0:15:20.240 There's just actually actually thing I'm doing underneath it just 0:15:20.280 --> 0:15:21.040 kind of feel it out for. 0:15:21.000 --> 0:15:28.600 You, don't none of your business. 0:15:28.600 --> 0:15:30.880 The best is like when the media asks, I mean, 0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:32.760 do you not stand out there to practice and look 0:15:32.800 --> 0:15:35.800 at the quarterbacks and how their jersey and shoulder pads 0:15:35.800 --> 0:15:38.240 fit and it's different. It's like, yeah, dude, everyone wears 0:15:38.280 --> 0:15:42.200 flap jackets, like everyone wears some some different type or brand. 0:15:42.320 --> 0:15:44.640 I mean, they've evolved over time where now they can 0:15:44.680 --> 0:15:47.840 like mold them to your ribs and so if you have, 0:15:48.000 --> 0:15:51.240 for example, an injury where sometimes you know, there's only 0:15:51.280 --> 0:15:53.360 a portion of your ribs that are like usually protected 0:15:53.920 --> 0:15:57.040 by a flap jacket. So the newest ones there's like 0:15:57.040 --> 0:16:00.160 this this molding material that you kind of shape and 0:16:00.200 --> 0:16:02.600 can tour to your body and you could actually fit 0:16:02.760 --> 0:16:05.120 like two and so it extends up a little bit 0:16:05.160 --> 0:16:07.600 higher to protect you a little bit more, especially if 0:16:07.640 --> 0:16:08.640 you're dealing with the ribb injury. 0:16:09.440 --> 0:16:12.560 I mean, he didn't play that bad against Washington, considering 0:16:12.600 --> 0:16:15.480 he was kind of thrust it in there and Jalen 0:16:15.560 --> 0:16:17.320 Hurts went out with the injury, which, by the way, 0:16:17.560 --> 0:16:21.520 I still nobody has answered the question why the official 0:16:21.600 --> 0:16:23.920 was laughing at Jalen Hurts like he was some drunk 0:16:23.920 --> 0:16:25.600 guy on this treet, like, oh, he's had too much 0:16:25.640 --> 0:16:27.680 to drink. Like, Jalen Hurts gives him a thumbs up 0:16:27.680 --> 0:16:29.240 and the guy just laughs at him. Said, ah, I 0:16:29.280 --> 0:16:31.840 get to the sideline. But you know, I'm glad we're 0:16:31.880 --> 0:16:35.000 taking concussion seriously in the NFL. So no Jalen Hurts 0:16:35.000 --> 0:16:37.440 this weekend. Kenny Pickett's going to be slinging it around 0:16:37.480 --> 0:16:41.360 for Philly. They've got Dallas and Mike McCarthy also trying 0:16:41.360 --> 0:16:43.720 to save his job there with the Cowboys. So that 0:16:43.840 --> 0:16:45.440 is the update from the NFC East. 0:16:46.000 --> 0:16:47.840 It is too u not too pro? Why do I 0:16:47.920 --> 0:16:48.440 keep doing that? 0:16:48.480 --> 0:16:50.680 Just about well, because we do a show three hundred 0:16:50.720 --> 0:16:53.960 and some days a year, and that's what you say. 0:16:53.840 --> 0:16:56.240 Listen Dan Patrick's show.

Did you tell 0:17:09.600 --> 0:17:11.359 Jonas what we call the show when he's not here? 0:17:11.920 --> 0:17:14.760 Uh, well no I did not, But go ahead, you 0:17:14.800 --> 0:17:16.919 could tell him what is it? Well, what I have 0:17:17.000 --> 0:17:21.920 to tell cup? I don't know, got there's no Yeah, 0:17:22.040 --> 0:17:24.160 two pros and two pros and a cup.

We didn't put the Joe in it, 0:17:27.920 --> 0:17:29.560 you know, we just left it out there, so we 0:17:29.600 --> 0:17:31.000 can't put the Joe in it. I mean that name 0:17:31.040 --> 0:17:31.800 sounds familiar. 0:17:32.400 --> 0:17:38.680 Two pros and the cup, Yeah, it does. Just saying 0:17:38.680 --> 0:17:42.320 it does sound from it was very popular on the internet. 0:17:42.359 --> 0:17:46.000 You are you are weird o.

I forgot 0:20:52.000 --> 0:20:54.160 to text against the spread. 0:20:54.600 --> 0:20:59.000 The latest everybody to Brady for his picks for NFL 0:20:59.080 --> 0:20:59.879 games that he misses. 0:21:00.720 --> 0:21:04.000 Oh, they were probably on a Sunday, oh the latest. 0:21:04.160 --> 0:21:04.640 Uh yeah. 0:21:04.640 --> 0:21:06.399 Well I don't want to bug him on Saturdays, so 0:21:06.480 --> 0:21:10.640 I usually wait until far after the games are done. 0:21:10.560 --> 0:21:13.520 Maybe I always send it after the show. 0:21:14.560 --> 0:21:17.160 Any text You do not send any text on late 0:21:17.200 --> 0:21:21.159 on a Saturday night. We've never well shocked. 0:21:21.320 --> 0:21:23.159 I always send it after the show. On a Friday, 0:21:23.160 --> 0:21:24.840 I always do the Google doc. We love the Google 0:21:24.840 --> 0:21:26.320 doc here on two pros and a Cup of Joe. 0:21:26.320 --> 0:21:28.080 So I always send it on the Google doc and 0:21:28.080 --> 0:21:30.560 then I'll send a reminder of text agress on the 0:21:30.880 --> 0:21:31.600 Sunday morning. 0:21:31.920 --> 0:21:34.000 Yeah, why did he get fine for that? That was 0:21:34.040 --> 0:21:35.280 a passive aggressive shot. 0:21:36.040 --> 0:21:38.119 I'm not saying it's fine, just saying like it now 0:21:38.240 --> 0:21:41.880 leaves me passive aggressive about it. Damn, you can't try 0:21:41.880 --> 0:21:46.280 to make things better. No, Lee, you do never have 0:21:46.359 --> 0:21:49.320 reached out on a Saturday night. All right, let's just 0:21:49.400 --> 0:21:52.760 be very clear about that. You are usually pretty tied 0:21:52.840 --> 0:21:53.920 up on Saturday nights. 0:21:54.320 --> 0:21:56.119 That's true, and that's true, and I didn't want to 0:21:56.119 --> 0:21:58.000 bother you. I know you're busy on Saturday. So yeah, 0:21:58.000 --> 0:21:58.560 I'll send it. 0:21:58.680 --> 0:22:01.080 By the time he wakes up with the time difference 0:22:01.080 --> 0:22:03.359 on Sunday. Now, you're usually it's sort of like a 0:22:03.359 --> 0:22:08.840 games already kicked off, that's right before. 0:22:08.920 --> 0:22:10.400 Yes, maybe is the latest. 0:22:10.280 --> 0:22:12.720 It is due. If I get a text from you, 0:22:12.800 --> 0:22:16.399 it's like probably at some point in time Saturday morning, 0:22:17.000 --> 0:22:19.280 and it's usually I'm already like doing stuff for the 0:22:19.320 --> 0:22:22.240 show and Lee's just waking up from the night before. 0:22:22.560 --> 0:22:24.080 That's that's usually how that works. 0:22:24.119 --> 0:22:26.280 That is that is very true. That is very true. 0:22:26.280 --> 0:22:28.440 But I think the latest I did send it. 0:22:28.359 --> 0:22:30.520 Was like rite at kickoff, but it was no scores 0:22:30.560 --> 0:22:31.919 had happened yet, so I was trying to get them 0:22:31.920 --> 0:22:32.280 in people. 0:22:32.359 --> 0:22:35.120 What time do they normally wake up on Saturdays? Lee? 0:22:35.240 --> 0:22:38.119 What what time? Right around kickoff of Big Noon? So 0:22:38.160 --> 0:22:42.040 I missed, I miss Brady. It's okay, I mean I 0:22:42.119 --> 0:22:45.560 watch you know, I'm a fan every week. I wad dp's. 0:22:46.720 --> 0:22:52.679 The guys with our therapy sessions take place laugh on radio? Yeah, no, 0:22:52.760 --> 0:22:57.480 thoughts wonderful. Yeah no, I'm spectating just like them. Okay, 0:22:58.160 --> 0:22:59.119 just listening. 0:23:00.359 --> 0:23:02.440 Jonas, did you notice how Lebron said that, you know, 0:23:02.520 --> 0:23:05.280 Christmas Day is the NBA's day. 0:23:05.359 --> 0:23:07.760 Oh yeah, even though he loves the NFL, so he 0:23:07.840 --> 0:23:10.040 made it a direct at the NFL. 0:23:10.119 --> 0:23:10.359 Yeah. 0:23:10.480 --> 0:23:13.359 Yeah. Do you think any of the Christmas Day games 0:23:13.359 --> 0:23:15.679 for the NBA will surpass was it twenty four million? 0:23:15.840 --> 0:23:16.719 Was the average audience? 0:23:16.800 --> 0:23:19.679 Probably not? Yeah, I'm gonna go with probably not. I mean, 0:23:19.760 --> 0:23:22.879 will it will it do half those numbers? Probably not? 0:23:23.520 --> 0:23:24.040 Probably not. 0:23:25.440 --> 0:23:27.879 It Just like, I don't know why they can't just 0:23:28.640 --> 0:23:32.400 be honest about the situation and stop getting so and look, 0:23:32.440 --> 0:23:35.360 I know that you know, ESPN's got a vested interest 0:23:35.400 --> 0:23:38.560 in it, and there's other people that have vested interest 0:23:38.600 --> 0:23:40.440 in the NBA. They wanted to work, they want it 0:23:40.480 --> 0:23:42.720 to be successful, and they just cram it down your 0:23:42.760 --> 0:23:45.439 throats at all hours of the day, and god forbid 0:23:45.480 --> 0:23:48.640 anybody speak out and say, look, the product stinks. It's 0:23:48.680 --> 0:23:51.639 not the same as it was. The games are competitive. 0:23:51.720 --> 0:23:53.840 You've put a premium on the playoffs, so why should 0:23:53.840 --> 0:23:56.760 we watch the regular season? Like you can't do that? 0:23:56.920 --> 0:23:59.760 Or else you just labeled a hater. But then they 0:23:59.800 --> 0:24:03.359 take get upon themselves after they win a Christmas game 0:24:04.320 --> 0:24:06.159 and want to and Lebron wants to make it a 0:24:06.160 --> 0:24:07.480 point that yeah, this is our day. 0:24:07.520 --> 0:24:10.199 This okay. Yeah, Well, like the numbers say different. 0:24:10.400 --> 0:24:12.439 So yeah, do you want the total numbers? 0:24:13.680 --> 0:24:15.200 Yeah, it was twenty four right. 0:24:15.280 --> 0:24:18.399 So it's it's a little difficult to measure because you're 0:24:18.400 --> 0:24:21.280 talking about a streaming platform as opposed to you know, 0:24:21.440 --> 0:24:25.199 broadcast television or cable television. Right, because the metrics for 0:24:25.320 --> 0:24:27.840 like streaming. A lot of times they'll look at, for example, 0:24:28.280 --> 0:24:30.880 how many people tune in for at least one minute, 0:24:31.200 --> 0:24:35.080 So sixty five million US viewers tune in for at 0:24:35.119 --> 0:24:39.680 least one minute of the two NFL games. Sixty five 0:24:39.760 --> 0:24:43.800 million people. All Right, the average during both games was 0:24:43.920 --> 0:24:46.600 north of twenty four million. Twenty four point three for 0:24:46.680 --> 0:24:49.560 the ball you know Ravens Texans, twenty four point one 0:24:49.560 --> 0:24:53.520 for Kansas City Pittsburgh, which is crazy considering you know, 0:24:53.560 --> 0:24:56.120 both games are blowouts. And this is according to Nielsen, 0:24:56.200 --> 0:25:00.359 who does all of this. The NBA's five slate averaged 0:25:00.359 --> 0:25:05.040 about five point two five million, and that's across ABC, ESPN, 0:25:05.119 --> 0:25:07.720 those platforms. So there you go. 0:25:07.800 --> 0:25:13.000 I mean, but it's their day, Like, no, don't anybody 0:25:13.480 --> 0:25:15.880 step on our toes here, it is our day. 0:25:17.280 --> 0:25:20.600 It's like I said, I think, I think what the 0:25:20.640 --> 0:25:25.520 purpose of that was is to one hundred percent identify 0:25:26.080 --> 0:25:31.520 and and rally the troops that truly truly support the NBA. 0:25:32.240 --> 0:25:35.040 I mean, you even get a couple trolls on on 0:25:35.080 --> 0:25:38.600 your social media that talk about every time we say 0:25:38.760 --> 0:25:41.600 the NBA doesn't matter, you know, he has something to say. 0:25:42.280 --> 0:25:45.479 I think that it is. There are some people that 0:25:45.640 --> 0:25:51.560 are very very keen on how the NBA works and 0:25:51.680 --> 0:25:54.520 their involvement in the NBA. And while it's not as 0:25:54.640 --> 0:25:58.040 large a market, you know, as as it would be 0:25:58.040 --> 0:26:01.960 for the NFL, I think Lebron James saying that he's 0:26:02.000 --> 0:26:05.080 still sending out like that kind of that signal to 0:26:05.160 --> 0:26:08.680 everybody who does really really support basketball and is really 0:26:08.720 --> 0:26:12.919 into the NBA. I think he sent that as like 0:26:13.320 --> 0:26:15.520 that's their rally crowd, like, let me make sure that 0:26:15.600 --> 0:26:19.119 y'all know from Lebron James. That wasn't somebody else that 0:26:19.160 --> 0:26:23.480 could have been any of all the other new emerging 0:26:23.560 --> 0:26:27.280 stars in the league to have said something to that effect. 0:26:27.359 --> 0:26:29.879 It was Lebron James that did it, you know. And 0:26:29.920 --> 0:26:33.240 I thought the timing of it and the positioning of 0:26:33.280 --> 0:26:35.720 the way he did it, he was doing there was 0:26:35.760 --> 0:26:39.320 certainly an agenda connected to him doing that, and I 0:26:39.320 --> 0:26:42.160 don't think that it was in any way shape form 0:26:42.240 --> 0:26:46.440 based upon him thinking that the NBA ratings are competitive 0:26:46.800 --> 0:26:50.440 to the NFL. I think he's just rallying his troops, 0:26:50.920 --> 0:26:53.480 rallying the NBA troops to say, yeah, you know what, 0:26:53.640 --> 0:26:56.840 he's right, And maybe I don't even like the NFL 0:26:56.880 --> 0:26:59.399 all like that. Maybe I'm just all about the NBA. 0:27:00.040 --> 0:27:00.119 Now. 0:27:00.160 --> 0:27:02.159 I'm just here to tell y'all the NBA is not 0:27:02.320 --> 0:27:05.240 as relevant. It's not even close to as relevant as 0:27:05.320 --> 0:27:09.160 the NFL. It's just not in terms of viewership and relevance. 0:27:09.200 --> 0:27:11.560 It's just not it just is what I think. 0:27:11.400 --> 0:27:14.159 The tough part too, is the NBA players have so 0:27:14.280 --> 0:27:18.120 much power, and if you look at the decline in ratings, 0:27:18.359 --> 0:27:21.159 and if we're being honest with ourselves, there is just 0:27:21.240 --> 0:27:24.360 a much part of it as anyone else. The decision 0:27:24.400 --> 0:27:27.600 for load management and and to take games off, the 0:27:27.640 --> 0:27:29.680 impact that I think it's had, not only on ratings, 0:27:30.280 --> 0:27:33.280 probably on just even casual fans, fans that want to 0:27:33.320 --> 0:27:35.760 go to games and then have to worry about, Hey, 0:27:35.800 --> 0:27:38.560 I'm taking my little timmy to the game, and guess what, 0:27:38.640 --> 0:27:41.800 Lebron's not playing he's out tonight and not finding out 0:27:41.840 --> 0:27:43.879 about that till you get to the game, right, and 0:27:43.920 --> 0:27:46.280 he's his favorite player, and you know, who knows how 0:27:46.359 --> 0:27:48.600 much more Lebron's gonna play, and you don't have the 0:27:48.600 --> 0:27:52.160 opportunity to go see him play, like all those things 0:27:52.720 --> 0:27:55.560 that you really don't see in the NFL until maybe 0:27:55.600 --> 0:27:59.000 week eighteen, right or our guy gets shut down due 0:27:59.040 --> 0:28:02.040 to injury. I mean, just in comparison and comparing between 0:28:02.040 --> 0:28:04.080 the two sports. And I understand it's a bit of 0:28:04.119 --> 0:28:06.600 an apples and orgies because the physicality of football versus 0:28:06.600 --> 0:28:11.000 the NBA, But even in that discussion. Part of how 0:28:11.040 --> 0:28:14.280 the NBA game is played now is a byproduct of 0:28:14.920 --> 0:28:18.720 things that NBA players should probably be pushing for. Bring 0:28:18.760 --> 0:28:22.320 back hand checking, bring back more physicality to the game, 0:28:23.480 --> 0:28:25.760 just so we get a little more defense, a little 0:28:25.800 --> 0:28:28.399 more something else to this game that makes it more 0:28:28.400 --> 0:28:31.919 attractive for viewers instead of four guys standing around the 0:28:31.920 --> 0:28:35.280 three point line and just kicking out from an open 0:28:35.359 --> 0:28:39.440 layout to try to shoot a three. I mean, they 0:28:39.440 --> 0:28:42.200 don't take responsibility for why they are where they are. 0:28:42.520 --> 0:28:44.880 And joining the super teams where you guys all get 0:28:44.920 --> 0:28:47.680 together and have three superstars on one squad to try 0:28:47.680 --> 0:28:52.800 to win championships. Like all those things, amongst others, are 0:28:52.920 --> 0:28:55.120 some of the realities of why they are where they are. 0:28:56.040 --> 0:28:58.160 And you know, Jonas, we've talked about this for a 0:28:58.200 --> 0:29:01.720 long time about moving that the sketch and saying like 0:29:01.720 --> 0:29:03.960 like why try to compete with the NFL now that 0:29:04.000 --> 0:29:06.400 the NFL seems like they're going to continue to keep 0:29:06.400 --> 0:29:09.239 putting games on Christmas. I mean, it originally was more 0:29:09.240 --> 0:29:11.280 of a thought of you know, hey, it's just on 0:29:11.600 --> 0:29:13.760 the day of the week that Christmas falls. Well, now 0:29:13.760 --> 0:29:16.200 it's on a Wednesday, right, and the NFL is like, yeah, 0:29:16.200 --> 0:29:18.320 we're comfortable throwing a couple of games there, and we 0:29:18.360 --> 0:29:20.960 found a suitor or a partner in Netflix who's going 0:29:21.000 --> 0:29:22.240 to pay us a bunch of money too for it, 0:29:22.320 --> 0:29:25.000 So why not, right, It's good for our partnership, good 0:29:25.000 --> 0:29:27.400 for our business moving forward. And so next year, what 0:29:27.440 --> 0:29:28.440 does it fall on a Thursday? 0:29:28.600 --> 0:29:28.800 Yeah? 0:29:29.000 --> 0:29:31.360 Yeah, well yeah, yeah, you can expect to have some 0:29:31.480 --> 0:29:33.640 NFL games on that Thursday too moving forward that are 0:29:33.640 --> 0:29:37.760 going to absolutely dwarf anything the NBA does. But if 0:29:37.760 --> 0:29:41.520 the players don't take accountability for why they are where 0:29:41.560 --> 0:29:44.440 they are, and they don't try to circle together and 0:29:44.480 --> 0:29:47.200 go to the NBA owners and be like, look, you know, 0:29:47.440 --> 0:29:49.840 we're obviously getting paid, we feel good about where we're at, 0:29:50.440 --> 0:29:52.720 but not necessarily with the leagues at like, let's try 0:29:52.720 --> 0:29:54.800 to make this right, let's try to fix this. I 0:29:54.800 --> 0:29:57.760 don't know that there's any players who are really champing 0:29:57.800 --> 0:29:59.960 for that, rooting for that, And that's the hard point. 0:30:00.120 --> 0:30:01.680 It's like, it's only gonna get worse. I don't think 0:30:01.720 --> 0:30:05.080 it's gonna get better based on the current products, unless 0:30:05.080 --> 0:30:06.760 they want to take ownership of it and try to be. 0:30:06.760 --> 0:30:09.320 The change they've figured out in the NFL's figured out 0:30:09.320 --> 0:30:15.840 a way to market or brand or present their product differently. 0:30:16.120 --> 0:30:18.040 And better than the NBA has. 0:30:18.200 --> 0:30:20.720 And it kind of reminds me of the UFC in boxing, 0:30:21.120 --> 0:30:25.000 where man, look, I love boxing and I grew up 0:30:25.000 --> 0:30:29.520 a diehard boxing fan. It's not even close the presentation same, 0:30:29.600 --> 0:30:33.200 and what they've done between the UFC and boxing. 0:30:32.960 --> 0:30:33.960 It's not even close. 0:30:34.040 --> 0:30:37.120 Like it's it's in another level, like the excitement, the energy, 0:30:37.680 --> 0:30:40.760 how it's packaged, the way they the way they bring 0:30:40.760 --> 0:30:43.240 you the product there, the way they're able to promote 0:30:43.240 --> 0:30:46.360 it on social media, the way boxing is like, well, no, 0:30:46.480 --> 0:30:48.520 this guy can't fight this guy because he's got a 0:30:48.520 --> 0:30:51.280 promoter here, and this guy can't fight this guy, and no, no, no, no, 0:30:51.320 --> 0:30:53.080 we have a contract here I can't get out of. 0:30:53.240 --> 0:30:53.280 No. 0:30:53.360 --> 0:30:55.160 If you do that, you're gonna lose your belt because 0:30:55.200 --> 0:30:58.080 you haven't defended it. And it's just too many different 0:30:58.120 --> 0:31:00.560 things going on to where it's hard to keep track 0:31:00.640 --> 0:31:02.680 up man, Like it's hard to know. Okay, so who's 0:31:02.680 --> 0:31:05.520 playing what? Like you've got five games on Christmas and 0:31:05.560 --> 0:31:07.480 the end of a like I look at it and 0:31:07.520 --> 0:31:10.280 I go, there's just a better way to streamline it 0:31:10.320 --> 0:31:13.760 to the audience and to present a better product and 0:31:13.800 --> 0:31:16.000 a better league, and they haven't been able to figure 0:31:16.000 --> 0:31:19.120 it out, and the NFL just continues to capitalize on And. 0:31:19.080 --> 0:31:20.200 We've talked about our show. 0:31:20.560 --> 0:31:25.000 It's not like the Christmas games were good, Like both 0:31:25.000 --> 0:31:27.080 those games were blowouts. Like a lot of games in 0:31:27.120 --> 0:31:30.480 the NFL have been non competitive, especially lately when teams 0:31:30.480 --> 0:31:33.720 realize they're out of it. Yet people watch it and 0:31:33.760 --> 0:31:37.240 they prefer that over the NBA, and the NBA should 0:31:37.240 --> 0:31:39.120 take notes and be like, how can we do this 0:31:39.480 --> 0:31:42.800 better and differently, And instead they're like, Oh, let's put 0:31:42.840 --> 0:31:46.280 together an NBA Cup and we'll give out a trophy 0:31:46.320 --> 0:31:48.640 and we'll have a celebration in Vegas that nobody wants 0:31:48.680 --> 0:31:50.000 to go to afterwards even if. 0:31:49.920 --> 0:31:53.240 They want it. Nobody cares. Dude, you're not fixing anything. 0:31:53.440 --> 0:31:54.920 Did Levarn Did you say? I mean, it's kind of 0:31:54.920 --> 0:31:57.520 a participation trophy. It's like getting guys to play during 0:31:57.560 --> 0:32:00.000 the regular season, and games that are I don't know, 0:32:00.280 --> 0:32:02.200 I mean, they're meaningful at the end of the season, 0:32:02.240 --> 0:32:05.680 maybe not necessarily so much in the middle, but it's it's, honestly, 0:32:05.680 --> 0:32:07.960 in a way, like a participation trophy, like thanks for 0:32:08.160 --> 0:32:11.120 playing during the regular season and this in season tournament right. 0:32:10.960 --> 0:32:15.520 Because guys don't want to play right, Guys do want 0:32:15.560 --> 0:32:20.400 to maintain their health and the load management aspect of it. 0:32:20.400 --> 0:32:23.440 It's trying to find that balance of playing enough basketball 0:32:23.480 --> 0:32:26.920 where you can be relevant as a superstar player, relevant 0:32:27.000 --> 0:32:29.600 enough to keep your team good enough, and being contention 0:32:29.840 --> 0:32:34.760 for the playoffs and being healthy enough to make a 0:32:34.840 --> 0:32:37.360 run when it gets down to crunch time at the 0:32:37.440 --> 0:32:39.800 end of the season and in the playoffs. That's what 0:32:39.880 --> 0:32:43.680 I truly believe is is what the NBA and what 0:32:43.720 --> 0:32:47.640 the NBA players are always trying to figure out, and 0:32:47.680 --> 0:32:51.440 that play in tournament was just one way of saying, Okay, 0:32:51.480 --> 0:32:53.840 instead of waiting until it gets to crunch time at 0:32:53.840 --> 0:32:56.400 the end of the season and you guys start picking 0:32:56.480 --> 0:33:00.560 up your play and playing more, let's create to play 0:33:00.560 --> 0:33:03.920 in tournaments so we'll see more of the guys. Give 0:33:03.960 --> 0:33:06.360 them incentives, so we'll see more of the guys that 0:33:06.520 --> 0:33:10.800 wouldn't be necessarily playing as much during this duration of 0:33:10.880 --> 0:33:14.720 time due to load management and injury preservation and all 0:33:14.800 --> 0:33:18.120 that stuff, that they're going to actually come out and play. 0:33:19.080 --> 0:33:21.680 I'll ultimately say, the reason why it's going to be 0:33:21.720 --> 0:33:25.320 difficult for any other sport to ever have any more 0:33:25.480 --> 0:33:28.280 relevance than what it does, and catching up to the 0:33:28.360 --> 0:33:32.040 National Football League or even college football at that is 0:33:32.080 --> 0:33:35.480 because of the amount of games, and you guys have 0:33:35.560 --> 0:33:38.920 touched on every point, right, Like the amount of games 0:33:39.320 --> 0:33:43.440 says to me to a sports fan, an average sports fan, 0:33:44.080 --> 0:33:49.000 I'm not I'm not getting dowed in to college basketball 0:33:49.240 --> 0:33:52.920 or the NBA until it gets closer to March madness, 0:33:53.160 --> 0:33:56.120 until it gets closer to the playoffs, and then once 0:33:56.160 --> 0:33:58.160 the playoffs get here, and which, for what it's worth, 0:33:58.480 --> 0:34:00.680 I kind of feel that way about the n But 0:34:00.920 --> 0:34:05.080 at least I know that more often than not, you 0:34:05.160 --> 0:34:07.600 get to certain points in the game, they're racing for 0:34:07.760 --> 0:34:11.640 the divisional crown, they're racing for the number one seed. 0:34:11.880 --> 0:34:15.279 Like those things happen early on, early. 0:34:15.080 --> 0:34:15.680 On in the year. 0:34:15.719 --> 0:34:19.200 Get out to a fast start, so so you're you're 0:34:19.280 --> 0:34:23.400 facing you know, injuries or whatever it may be. Mid season, 0:34:23.600 --> 0:34:26.960 you can still have time to try to regroup and 0:34:27.120 --> 0:34:29.279 make it back into a number one seed or make 0:34:29.320 --> 0:34:32.759 it into a wildcard position. The storylines are way more 0:34:32.800 --> 0:34:38.040 intensified because there's less there's less games, there's less opportunities 0:34:38.120 --> 0:34:42.480 for for for failing, for for messing up, for blowing 0:34:42.520 --> 0:34:45.680 it off. You just you're just not going to see 0:34:45.800 --> 0:34:50.399 football players sitting out games. It just doesn't happen. If 0:34:50.400 --> 0:34:53.400 you're sitting out a game, it's not load management unless 0:34:53.400 --> 0:34:56.040 it's you're going into the last game of the year, 0:34:56.480 --> 0:34:58.040 and that's even a debate, and. 0:34:57.920 --> 0:34:59.399 If you do, you get shamed for it. 0:34:59.560 --> 0:35:02.759 Come on, man, I just think that it's just a 0:35:02.800 --> 0:35:05.759 different mentality, it's a different approach, it's a different way 0:35:05.760 --> 0:35:08.799 of looking at things. And for what it's worth, when 0:35:08.840 --> 0:35:12.600 I look at basketball, you're always going to fight the 0:35:12.800 --> 0:35:17.840 idea of relevance during times where the sport just doesn't 0:35:17.960 --> 0:35:24.200 boast the level of intensity of needing to win. What 0:35:24.360 --> 0:35:27.640 team right now in the NBA needs to win right 0:35:27.680 --> 0:35:30.120 now and we're a little ways in now, we're in 0:35:30.200 --> 0:35:32.600 there a little bit. But I'm not looking at any 0:35:32.640 --> 0:35:35.200 of these teams like, oh, this team is at five 0:35:35.320 --> 0:35:38.520 hundred right now, they're in bad shape. Or this team 0:35:38.600 --> 0:35:41.759 is a whole lot of games above five hundred, and 0:35:42.120 --> 0:35:45.000 well it's risky for them to be here right now, 0:35:45.160 --> 0:35:48.160 or they're safe and where they're at, No, they're not safe. 0:35:48.200 --> 0:35:51.840 They could slide. They can have a tremendous epic slide 0:35:52.320 --> 0:35:54.880 and end up being in a totally different position by 0:35:54.920 --> 0:35:56.799 the end of the season. So I just think that 0:35:56.920 --> 0:35:59.719 there's just no way of really creating that sense of 0:35:59.800 --> 0:36:03.239 earth urgency and these other sports because they play so 0:36:03.400 --> 0:36:04.440 many more games. 0:36:04.719 --> 0:36:07.040 The Pelicans have the worst record in the NBA. They're 0:36:07.080 --> 0:36:09.880 five and twenty six and still can make the playoffs. 0:36:10.080 --> 0:36:13.320 They might win a title, I know, And the Saints 0:36:13.320 --> 0:36:15.000 are five and ten. So it is good that your 0:36:15.040 --> 0:36:17.319 football team and your basketball game of the same number 0:36:17.360 --> 0:36:17.760 of wins. 0:36:17.800 --> 0:36:20.200 Yeah, but that five loss for the Saints is way 0:36:20.239 --> 0:36:23.160 different than the five wins for you know, or five 0:36:23.200 --> 0:36:25.560 wins for Saints is way different than those five losses 0:36:25.560 --> 0:36:28.480 for the The Pelicans could still turn their season round 0:36:28.600 --> 0:36:31.920 right now, as crazy as that sounds, with that that 0:36:32.080 --> 0:36:35.239 crappy ass record that they have, they could in some 0:36:35.360 --> 0:36:37.120 ways still turn their season around. 0:36:37.800 --> 0:36:41.280 It's possible. Yeah, there's a plan, you know, it's possible. 0:36:42.160 --> 0:36:45.200 So like you have that record, you have a record 0:36:46.120 --> 0:36:49.600 anywhere comparable to a bad record in football, and you're 0:36:49.680 --> 0:36:52.400 out of it, like you're out of it, and you 0:36:52.600 --> 0:36:54.839 know you're out of it, and your fan base knows 0:36:54.840 --> 0:36:55.720 you're out of it, That's. 0:36:55.600 --> 0:36:56.240 All I'm saying. 0:36:56.320 --> 0:36:59.680 Yeah, it is the Dan Patrick Show here on Fox 0:36:59.719 --> 0:37:00.480 Sports Radio. 0:37:00.520 --> 0:37:02.759 Two Pros and a Cup of Joe in for Dan 0:37:02.880 --> 0:37:03.400 and the guys. 0:37:03.400 --> 0:37:05.319 Coming up next here though, we're going to take a 0:37:05.360 --> 0:37:08.160 little bit of a preview look ahead to the NFL 0:37:08.200 --> 0:37:11.200 this weekend, and it's yours right here on FSR. 0:37:11.719 --> 0:37:14.640 Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 0:37:14.680 --> 0:37:18.040 the nation.

Five picks, five spreads, 0:38:14.360 --> 0:38:16.360 Time for picks against the spread. 0:38:16.440 --> 0:38:19.040 All right, Lee, how are we doing here? It was 0:38:19.080 --> 0:38:23.480 an interesting week sixteen. Indeed, Brady was the lone wolf 0:38:23.600 --> 0:38:25.960 taking the Ravens to cover versus the Steelers six and 0:38:26.000 --> 0:38:27.920 a half. Of course they won that game thirty four 0:38:27.960 --> 0:38:29.040 to seventeen, very close. 0:38:29.360 --> 0:38:30.400 Good job there, Brady. 0:38:30.480 --> 0:38:33.200 And then we had this, We had Jonas alone taking 0:38:33.200 --> 0:38:36.920 the Chiefs versus the Texans crazy Commanders versus the Eagles 0:38:37.560 --> 0:38:39.600 and Cowboys versus the Bucks crazy. 0:38:40.680 --> 0:38:43.040 And then we had a rare push. We had Vikings 0:38:43.040 --> 0:38:43.680 at Seahawks. 0:38:43.760 --> 0:38:46.520 Vikings was minus three, ended up twenty seven to twenty 0:38:46.520 --> 0:38:47.400 four Vikings. 0:38:47.400 --> 0:38:48.800 So that was a push all around. 0:38:49.920 --> 0:38:52.480 In the end that last week, Jonas, you went three 0:38:52.480 --> 0:38:54.680 to one and one, Brady won three and one over 0:38:54.920 --> 0:38:55.440 and then. 0:38:55.800 --> 0:38:58.000 Yeah, you're only over for the season. That was a 0:38:58.080 --> 0:39:01.880 rare one. Sorry that, Lee. What are our season standings 0:39:01.880 --> 0:39:03.160 for the new audience here? 0:39:03.200 --> 0:39:06.320 Well, the season standings are this, Jonas, you and LeVar 0:39:06.400 --> 0:39:09.640 are tied with forty three wins. But Jonas, you, uh, 0:39:10.239 --> 0:39:13.400 you have thirty four losses and three pushes. LaVar, you 0:39:13.400 --> 0:39:14.920 have thirty six losses in one. 0:39:14.800 --> 0:39:18.239 Push, so that puts uh, Josh had more picks than 0:39:18.440 --> 0:39:19.680 every How do I have more? 0:39:19.760 --> 0:39:21.520 Because you take money line a lot of the time. 0:39:21.680 --> 0:39:24.920 So yeah, you don't understand that hurts you a lot 0:39:24.920 --> 0:39:25.360 of the times. 0:39:25.440 --> 0:39:28.080 No, I do. I understand that it helps me too 0:39:28.080 --> 0:39:29.040 if I win it. 0:39:29.680 --> 0:39:32.400 I don't want the money you it should, but he 0:39:32.440 --> 0:39:36.560 doesn't award you extra points for picking the money line. 0:39:37.640 --> 0:39:39.040 Yeah, I guess that makes sense. 0:39:39.239 --> 0:39:42.320 I mean, in all reality, we probably should give LeVar 0:39:42.480 --> 0:39:45.080 more credit because he's hit a lot of money lines 0:39:45.719 --> 0:39:48.120 and Jonas is just simply taking the point. 0:39:48.200 --> 0:39:51.000 Yeah, I don't think he deserves any credit, to be honest, Yeah, 0:39:51.000 --> 0:39:51.560 I think you know. 0:39:52.239 --> 0:39:54.480 I've taken that worries Jonas. I'm taking it. 0:39:54.920 --> 0:39:57.799 At one point, I want to say, LeVar hit like 0:39:57.920 --> 0:40:00.840 eight of ten money lines that he called, which is 0:40:00.880 --> 0:40:01.600 pretty ridiculous. 0:40:01.640 --> 0:40:03.640 I like taking the chance. I'm like a black jack 0:40:03.880 --> 0:40:06.239 I am a blackjack player, So I'm like going to 0:40:06.400 --> 0:40:09.600 like throw the card, you know what I mean, throw 0:40:09.640 --> 0:40:13.440 the card. I'll be at fourteen fifteen sixteen, Throw the card. 0:40:13.560 --> 0:40:16.640 I'm not holding on sixteen. Throw the card. I'm gonna 0:40:16.680 --> 0:40:19.280 play hard, you know what I mean. That's my game. 0:40:20.280 --> 0:40:25.120 That's my game. I like poker, though, but I like 0:40:25.200 --> 0:40:27.680 black Jacks quicker. I'm looking back at it.

We got some 0:40:32.400 --> 0:40:35.319 Saturday games. We've got Broncos at Bengals. Bengals are three 0:40:35.320 --> 0:40:36.720 and a half point favorites at home. 0:40:38.840 --> 0:40:41.440 Bengals. I'm laying the points. I think Burrows on a 0:40:41.520 --> 0:40:43.120 terror right now. I try to get back in the 0:40:43.120 --> 0:40:43.759 playoff hunt. 0:40:43.840 --> 0:40:46.600 Yeah, I'm a second that that damn hook. 0:40:47.600 --> 0:40:48.600 I'll take Cincinnati. 0:40:48.719 --> 0:40:50.279 There's a three or three and a half, three and 0:40:50.320 --> 0:40:52.080 a half, okay, yeah, still. 0:40:52.600 --> 0:40:55.680 Yep, all right, Cardinals at Rams also Saturday, six and 0:40:55.680 --> 0:40:57.239 a half points for the Rams at home. 0:40:58.520 --> 0:41:03.319 Rams are going to cover. Oh damn, take Arizona. Yeah, 0:41:03.360 --> 0:41:05.439 I'm at Arizona. That's a lot of points. He always 0:41:05.480 --> 0:41:06.799 plays for the closeness they. 0:41:06.719 --> 0:41:08.880 Do, they do that is a lot.

Colts seven and a half point favorites at the. 0:41:17.800 --> 0:41:20.719 Giants are horrible. 0:41:20.960 --> 0:41:23.480 That has to be factoring in though he's playing then, right. 0:41:23.320 --> 0:41:23.719 I think so. 0:41:23.920 --> 0:41:26.440 They are one of the worst teams in the National 0:41:26.440 --> 0:41:27.799 Football League, right, That. 0:41:27.960 --> 0:41:31.480 Was stinks and they're over a touchdown favorite at the Giants. 0:41:32.000 --> 0:41:33.760 I'll take the Giants getting that many points. 0:41:33.960 --> 0:41:36.200 I'm gonna lay the points because I feel like something's 0:41:36.239 --> 0:41:38.239 fishy about that, Like it doesn't make sense for them 0:41:38.239 --> 0:41:39.560 to be laying that many. 0:41:40.360 --> 0:41:42.920 Yeah, I think the Colts will cover, all right. 0:41:43.080 --> 0:41:46.840 Packers at Vikings Packers a point favorite at Minnesota. 0:41:47.920 --> 0:41:53.479 Money line in the Minnesota Vikings.
