Speaker 3: Man?

12
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:38,720

13
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:39,720

14
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 6: Man?

15
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 5: Pretty good? Like college basketball today, decent college basketball, good

16
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 5: college basketball. We're getting here this evening. Of course, two

17
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:51,519
Speaker 5: big games tomorrow, some weird coaching stuff in the NFL.

18
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 5: I was just kind of thinking about it all today

19
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 5: and it's just like, yeah, there's games to be played tomorrow,

20
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 5: but there's also a whole lot to discuss as it

21
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 5: relates to the teams that aren't playing right now, maybe

22
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 5: even more so than the ones that are. But glad

23
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 5: we have three hours to dissect it because as usual,

24
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:08,839
Speaker 5: we definitely have a lot to get to. I didn't

25
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 5: even mention that whole like you know, Ohio State thing

26
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 5: from Monday.

27
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 2: Either Ohio State won a little national championships since we

28
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 2: last spoke.

29
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 4: But yeah, I'm with you.

30
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:21,040
Speaker 2: I actually find a lot of the non AFC NFC

31
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 2: Championship topics kind of frankly some of the more interesting

32
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,199
Speaker 2: stuff that has happened since we last spoke. Do think

33
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 2: we probably should start with the two big games on Sunday,

34
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:36,479
Speaker 2: Obviously the NFC Championship game, the surprise Washington Commanders. We

35
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,119
Speaker 2: were on air as they beat the Detroit Lions last week.

36
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 2: They are traveling to Philadelphia. That is a three pm

37
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 2: Eastern kickoff on Fox the night game. Yet another Buffalo

38
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 2: Kansas City showdown, Jay Mart, we got three hours to

39
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 2: break this all down. But let's let's stop being around

40
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 2: the bush. Let's just get to the conversation that everyone

41
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 2: in America has had over the last couple days. Tell me,

42
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 2: j Mart, why this year is going to be different

43
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 2: for Buffalo or do you not believe it's gonna be

44
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 2: I don't want to I don't want your pick yet,

45
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 2: But that is the conversation that everybody wants to know.

46
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 2: Is this finally the year Buffalo can get beast kse

47
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 2: your thoughts, Jmartin, Well.

48
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 5: I mean, if you just want to look at it

49
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 5: from the two teams and the two rosters, Buffalo is

50
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:23,919
Speaker 5: the better overall football team right now.

51
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 7: They just are.

52
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 5: And Josh Allen has had a better season than Patrick

53
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 5: Mahomes has at quarterback. He's done more. He's certainly higher

54
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 5: up in the MVP voting, whether or not he wins

55
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 5: it or comes in second. I think that's probably likely

56
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 5: to be the floor for him, would be number two.

57
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 5: But you know, the Chiefs have kind of escaped over

58
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 5: and over and over again. All they gotta do is

59
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 5: do that two more times, and they've won three Super

60
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 5: Bowls in a row, and there's no reason to think

61
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 5: that they can't do that. And they're guys as usual

62
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 5: kind of rounding into four. Mahomes is just doing enough.

63
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 5: But I mean, you look at Josh Allen's numbers last week.

64
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 5: He just kind of did enough. He didn't do too

65
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 5: much and try to do too much and they end

66
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 5: up winning the game. But the Buffalo defense has rounded

67
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 5: into form and really has played great football down the

68
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 5: stretch of the season and to this stage in the postseason.

69
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 5: Allen is firing on all cylinders. I mean, if you

70
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 5: want a reason why it's different, it's different because the

71
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:27,359
Speaker 5: Bills are a fully formed, just monolith of a football

72
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 5: team that should be able to go and beat anybody

73
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 5: on any given day, whether or not it's at home

74
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 5: or away. That's why it could be different. Again, trying

75
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 5: not to give away the pick there, But on the

76
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 5: flip side, I mean, Kansas City does this. It doesn't

77
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 5: matter whether or not they're the team that you look

78
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 5: at and say they should win it. Patrick Mahomes finds

79
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 5: ways to win these games. Travis Kelcey finds ways to

80
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 5: have over one hundred yards in these kind of games.

81
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 5: The Andy Reid finds a way in these kind of games.

82
00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 5: Spagnola's defense makes plays in these kind of games. We've

83
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 5: seen this for years and years and years. There's no

84
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 5: reason to think that that won't happen again. So there's

85
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 5: reasons to make a case for both sides. It's gonna

86
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 5: be a great game. It should be a it should

87
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 5: be full of drama. I hope it's close. I don't

88
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 5: see any reason why it won't be. And that's the

89
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 5: reason why they're getting that Prometon billing as well. Because

90
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 5: the whole world's going to be watching that one.

91
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:24,600
Speaker 4: So let me.

92
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 2: Ask you, what did you make of and you don't

93
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,600
Speaker 2: want to overreact to win, what did you make of

94
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:34,559
Speaker 2: just the Bills game plan in general against the Baltimore Ravens.

95
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 4: Because we obviously all watched the game.

96
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 2: I don't know what the final tally was, but I'm

97
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 2: guessing it was probably somewhere the neighborhood of forty to

98
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 2: fifty million people were watching, and you know, listen, it's

99
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 2: been analyzed and overanalyzed over the last couple of days.

100
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,600
Speaker 2: But felt like they really wanted to establish the ground

101
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,479
Speaker 2: game with James Cook. Obviously Josh Allen was great in

102
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 2: short yardage on the ground, but it just felt I

103
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 2: don't know if they were if they wanted to prove something,

104
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 2: or if it was the weather. But you know, well,

105
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,359
Speaker 2: Josh Allen had ninety yards passing going into the fourth quarter.

106
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 2: And let's call spade a spade. I don't mean to

107
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 2: be critical of one individual person because I know he's

108
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 2: had a tough week, but you know, if Mark Andrews

109
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 2: doesn't make two bone head not boneheaded, but just two

110
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 2: unfortunate plays at the worst possible time, Baltimore probably goes

111
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 2: in and wins that game, and they're headed to Case,

112
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 2: not Buffalo. This not Buffalo heading to Case this weekend.

113
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,039
Speaker 2: So just big picture, are you worried at all or

114
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 2: did you have any takeaways from kind of how the

115
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 2: game went last Sunday.

116
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 4: You get the win, it's at home, all of that.

117
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 4: I get it.

118
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 2: I didn't think it was necessarily the best game plan

119
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 2: from Sean McDermott, from Joe Brady.

120
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 4: What was your thought on that?

121
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,159
Speaker 5: I mean, I think more than anything, it was trying

122
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 5: to make sure And I think this is sort of

123
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 5: the maturation of Josh Allen as a player. He is

124
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 5: not trying to win the game on every throw, He's

125
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 5: not trying to win the game on every run like

126
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 5: he is very much understan standing of the fact that

127
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 5: there's a sixty minute game. There's time. I'm not saying

128
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 5: he's being conservative, but he's less reckless than he was

129
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 5: a season ago or certainly two years ago. He's still

130
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 5: got all the talent in the world, but he doesn't

131
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 5: just uncork it continually all the time. I don't know

132
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 5: that the I don't know what the weather did or

133
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 5: didn't do. I do think that they are very much

134
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 5: trying to run the football, and we've seen that increasingly

135
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 5: with Buffalo this season. James Cook has emerged and their

136
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 5: offensive line is solid and they've been creating space and

137
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 5: pushing defensive lines back and giving Cook space, and Cook

138
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 5: has been doing exactly what you would want him to

139
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 5: do with the football. But so no, I'm not worried

140
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,599
Speaker 5: about Josh Allen, like I think, if Josh Allen needs

141
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 5: four hundred yards to win a game, he can still

142
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:47,720
Speaker 5: give you four hundred yards to win a game. I

143
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 5: just don't think he goes out there immediately assuming that's

144
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 5: what he has to do for them to win, and

145
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,280
Speaker 5: it's not. It hasn't been. He hasn't had to do

146
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 5: as many heroic things. He's been able to make that

147
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 5: two or three replays a game rather than having to

148
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 5: make the twenty or twenty three plays a game that

149
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 5: we are used to seeing from him. And that's the

150
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 5: same thing with Mahomes. Mahomes used to do a lot

151
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 5: that we haven't seen him do this year, and that

152
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 5: could be a function of his roster to some degree,

153
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,119
Speaker 5: but there've just been other things that they can rely upon,

154
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,679
Speaker 5: and both of them credited their defense after the wins

155
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 5: over Houston and Baltimore, respectively, And that's fair, like they

156
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 5: both recognize that they can win games without it all

157
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 5: having to be on them, and I think that just

158
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 5: shows again they're getting older, they're getting a little smarter,

159
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 5: and they're getting a little bit more strategic in how

160
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 5: they play Casey.

161
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 2: Obviously, we had plenty of time to talk about them

162
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 2: coming off of the win last week against.

163
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 4: Houston, just big picture.

164
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 2: Every conversation that has been had that could be had

165
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 2: about Casey has been had over the last fill in

166
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 2: the blank weeks, months, etc. But where do you stand

167
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 2: on them right now? Going in survive against Houston? It

168
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 2: wasn't pretty. There's obviously, as we discussed last week, this

169
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 2: isn't new, but a couple questionable roughing the passer calls

170
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 2: that extended drives. Yeah, I don't know what what do

171
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 2: you make of Kansas City coming into this game because

172
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 2: obviously two time defending champ but you know, listen, it

173
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 2: feels like they've been skating on thin ice for a while.

174
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 2: But you know, we said that at this time coming

175
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 2: into the playoffs last year, and obviously they went on

176
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 2: a run beat San Francisco. So it's just the interesting

177
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 2: thing of you know, they're not playing their best football,

178
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 2: but you know when when was the last time they

179
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,719
Speaker 2: looked like the Kansas City Chiefs that we expect, and

180
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 2: they just keep finding ways to win, right, I.

181
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 5: Mean, they've only lost one time this season, and you know,

182
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,439
Speaker 5: if they win two more, then they win another Super Bowl.

183
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 5: They've got it in their building. That's the importance of

184
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 5: being that one seed. That the place, it's going to

185
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 5: be loud, and it's going to be a lot more

186
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 5: difficult for Buffalo in that circumstance than it would be

187
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 5: had they had it, you know, up in Orchard Park.

188
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 5: But that's that's the benefit of being the one seed.

189
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 5: I don't look at Kansas City and feel like they've

190
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 5: been playing particularly well, but they haven't had to so far.

191
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 5: It wouldn't surprise me at all to see them go

192
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 5: out and just play a world beater football game tomorrow

193
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 5: and look like the team that you would assume a

194
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 5: one loss team would look like at this point. But

195
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 5: you know, you know what they have on the sidelines,

196
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 5: you know what they have in mahomes, you know some

197
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 5: of the weapons that they have. They got some young guys.

198
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 5: I mean Ken Xavier Worthy start to grow some hands

199
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 5: and start to make a couple more plays. Yeah, I mean,

200
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 5: it could certainly happen. Tyreek Hill wasn't a great receiver

201
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 5: in his first year either in terms of what you

202
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 5: could trust him with. In terms of his hands, we

203
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:50,080
Speaker 5: understood how fast he was. But yeah, this Kansas City team,

204
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 5: you talk about them skating by. They come in here

205
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 5: and you think that they're vulnerable, But don't make that

206
00:09:56,240 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 5: mistake because playoff Patrick, especially championship game Patrick, that's going

207
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 5: to be a challenge that is completely different, I would say.

208
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,559
Speaker 5: And because they've been so sort of conservative in how

209
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 5: they have approached offense, it's possible that there's some wrinkles

210
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 5: in There's some wrinkles there that we have not had

211
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 5: to see so far into playoffs that they are ready

212
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 5: to unleash that. Maybe Buffalo's defense isn't going to be

213
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 5: prepared for. I don't know. I think there's a chess

214
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 5: match to be had on both sides. Again, I think

215
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 5: the best thing that you can have going into a

216
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 5: championship game is a feeling that either team could win,

217
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:33,439
Speaker 5: And I think that's exactly what you have in the

218
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 5: AFC title game.

219
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 2: So let's quickly talk about the NFC Championship game. And

220
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 2: again we have two and a half hours more to

221
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 2: break this down, two hours and forty eight minutes to

222
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,839
Speaker 2: be exact. Also, Sean Brace, radio host in Philadelphia will

223
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 2: be joining us in just a minute to share the

224
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 2: Philadelphia perspective.

225
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 4: But let's talk about Philly really quick.

226
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 2: We talked a lot about by the way, you know,

227
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 2: you could go take take a Commander's angle if you want.

228
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 2: We talked a ton about the Commanders for people who

229
00:10:58,240 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 2: were not with us last week. Jay Martin and I

230
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 2: came on directly after the Commanders beat the Detroit Lions

231
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 2: in the divisional round. Obviously that that game had a

232
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 2: million different narratives and storylines all in and of itself,

233
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 2: but we did.

234
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:12,679
Speaker 4: We haven't talked since the Eagles game.

235
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 2: Obviously, Eagles survive against the Rams, final score twenty eight

236
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 2: to twenty two. The big play late was the monster

237
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 2: Saquon Barkley run with you know it unofficially sealed the game,

238
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:26,679
Speaker 2: put him up thirteen. I know, obviously the Rams were

239
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 2: able to score from there, but Saquon with Saquan Jalen

240
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,679
Speaker 2: Hurts has obviously been a little bit banged up, has

241
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,679
Speaker 2: been said he was says he's not going to wear

242
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 2: a knee brace, but was wearing a knee brace earlier.

243
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 4: Says he's fine. Everybody in the building says he's fine.

244
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 2: But it is worth noting that he really didn't even

245
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 2: try to run the ball late in that game. Does

246
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 2: that impact things at all, because obviously Philadelphia a team

247
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 2: that relies on him, you know, quite a bit, along

248
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 2: with Saquon, and of course you know he's been kind

249
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 2: of just all over the place with a concussion a

250
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 2: few weeks ago, now a little bit of a knee injury.

251
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 5: I mean, it's not what you want. I mean, he's

252
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,719
Speaker 5: definitely banged up, and like you said, it's just been

253
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 5: very inconsistent in terms of how much he's been able

254
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 5: to play, and then being hampered down the stretch in

255
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 5: that game last week. But they've relied heavily on Saquon.

256
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 5: I think they're gonna have to pass the ball a

257
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:19,319
Speaker 5: little bit more tomorrow against Washington. But Washington's defense hadn't

258
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 5: been good throughout much of this year. Now what we

259
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 5: saw against Detroit. If they can force herts into a

260
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 5: couple of mistakes. You know, all bets are off, but

261
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 5: I just feel like this this is the kind of

262
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 5: game differently than how we were talking about Mahomes and

263
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 5: Josh Allen and what they're capable of. This is a

264
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:42,199
Speaker 5: game that if Washington is gonna win it, then their

265
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,439
Speaker 5: rookie quarterback's just gonna have to go and steal it.

266
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 5: Like I just I feel that way going in. I

267
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 5: like the culture, like all the stuff is being said

268
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 5: about Dan Quinn. I think it's hilarious that Dan Snyder

269
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,320
Speaker 5: is reportedly really upset and hates.

270
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 4: Stuff back London. He's watching all these games from London.

271
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 4: But yeah, he's fleet.

272
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 5: Good for him, Good for him. The league is better

273
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 5: without him as a part of it. But I just

274
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 5: kind of this one just feels like this is your

275
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 5: starmaking performance. I mean, you had it last week against Detroit,

276
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 5: but this takes you to another level. If you're Jayden Daniels.

277
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 5: I don't think they can do this without a pretty

278
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 5: just unreal effort from him. I think he's capable of

279
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 5: doing just that, but I don't think that their defense,

280
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 5: Washington's defense can be counted upon to really stop sakuon Barkley,

281
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 5: even if Jayalen Hurts is seventy percent and can't run

282
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,079
Speaker 5: the football or whatever like that. This could be a

283
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:36,719
Speaker 5: game where they're gonna have to score on one of

284
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 5: the best defenses in the league, because we already know

285
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 5: that Philadelphia is OH line is likely to hold up

286
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 5: and probably keep jay when Hurts pretty clean in this game.

287
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 5: But I just think Jayden Daniels has got to have

288
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:50,679
Speaker 5: one of those kind of stat lines again, and if

289
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 5: he does, then he's going to be talked about in

290
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 5: a way no rookie's ever been talked about based on

291
00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:00,560
Speaker 5: what he would have then done to both Detroit and Philadelphia.

292
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 2: The Commander's Eagles game the early one three pm Eastern time,

293
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:08,960
Speaker 2: and of course Casey and Buffalo at six thirty Eastern.

294
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 2: And here's the thing, Tours and Martin Aron until too

295
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 2: a m. Eastern time. We're gonna be breaking down all

296

00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 2: We are broadcasting live from Thetireq dot com studios. That

313
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 2: was Philadelphia Mayor, Philadelphia Mayo Cherrelle Parker. Listen, we all

314
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 2: have moments of weakness. You know who never has moments

315
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 2: of weakness? Though, our buddy, Sean Brace. You can hear

316
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 2: him three to six Eastern and Philly Monday through Friday

317
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 2: on Fox Sports Radio The Gambler Sean Brace. Who's more

318
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 2: embarrassing for the city of Philadelphia right now? The mayor

319
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 2: or the seventy six ers, The Flora is yours?

320
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 4: What's going on?

321
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 5: Buddy?

322
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 3: Ooh gentlemen, great to be out with you on this

323
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 3: wonderful Saturday evening as we are about to embark on

324
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 3: one more victory to get the New Orleans here coming

325
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 3: up for the Birds. But that's a good question for

326
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 3: you for me rough the jump, Aaron, I'll tell you what.

327
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 3: The Sickers are pretty embarrassing.

328
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 7: But here's what I'll tell you. I could promise you this.

329
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 3: Not many things I've been perfect in life, but I've

330
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 3: always spelled Eagles correctly headed the Chad, So I got

331
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 3: that going for me. But yeah, Man, to your point too,

332
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 3: the Sixers are absolutely every bit of embarrassing.

333
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 7: And Paul George leaving the game.

334
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 3: Tonight even though they won with the Bruce pinky finger,

335
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 3: it's just perfect perfect.

336
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 2: I actually saw your tweety p Yeah, Nick Man, feel

337
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 2: free to steal that one on Monday. I don't know

338
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 2: how much Sixers you'll be talking this week, but let's

339
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 2: get into it first of all, just you know, first

340
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 2: reactions you could Sean, you could take this wherever you want,

341
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 2: Sean Brace joining us, Fox Sports Radio, The Gambler and

342
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 2: Philly Listen. There's so many storylines. The third matchup with Washington,

343
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 2: Jade and Daniels emergence, Jalen Hurts his knee, what, in

344
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 2: your opinion, just as the single biggest storyline heading into

345
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 2: this game.

346
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would have to definitely say Jalen's knee, you know,

347
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 3: because regardless of what he says, and regardless of.

348
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 7: What we were able to see very little of it.

349
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 3: At practice with the cameras and what they're able to

350
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 3: record in the beginning, we won't know exactly what his

351
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 3: situation is dealing with that knee injury until the game

352
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,639
Speaker 3: gets started, until he gets going. So that's definitely the

353
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:20,679
Speaker 3: number one concern for me. Boys, I'll tell you, like

354
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:24,920
Speaker 3: this team is the darn good team. The big stat

355
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 3: that I've tossed out there from the beginning was that

356
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 3: we've only seen one other time in NFL history since

357
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 3: nineteen seventy a team carried.

358
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 7: The number one defense and the number one.

359
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 3: Overall rusher for the season into the playoffs, and that

360
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,879
Speaker 3: was the ninety two Cowboys and the Philadelphia Eagles. This

361
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,679
Speaker 3: is a really good football team that, regardless of Jalen

362
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:48,440
Speaker 3: Hurts and if he's not able to throw the football accurately,

363
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,640
Speaker 3: what he should be able to do at the professional level,

364
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 3: with guys like AJ Browner Debte Smith, they're still going

365
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 3: to move the football with the best offensive line out there,

366
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 3: and say one Barkley behind him, defense is going to

367
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 3: be trouble for the rookie quarterback at the Link Financial

368
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:05,479
Speaker 3: Field on Sunday.

369
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 7: It's just going to be a different monster, different jungle.

370
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 3: I want to give him all the credit in the

371
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 3: world going into Detroit, but being at the Minnesota Viking

372
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 3: NSA NFC championship game a couple of years ago, and

373
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 3: then the one just against the forty nine ers perty

374
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:20,879
Speaker 3: got hurt in it, but still it's just a whole

375
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 3: different monster. So I really like the Eagles chances on Sunday,

376
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,360
Speaker 3: regardless of Jalen Hurtz's injury, just based off of the

377
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 3: defense is really strong and that offensive, that rung game

378
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:33,639
Speaker 3: behind that offensive line is todd notch.

379
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 5: So what you said about Detroit, are you not concerned

380
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 5: about Jaden Daniels' potential to go off in this game?

381
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 5: Like I would look at it and almost say yeah,

382
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 5: considering the injuries and everything that Detroit was was dealing

383
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:50,920
Speaker 5: with entering that game, getting Jarrett Golf on the road,

384
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:54,880
Speaker 5: outdoors and relatively cold temperatures, I might have felt better

385
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 5: about my chances there. Than I do against Jayden Daniels.

386
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 3: It's interesting. You know, look, golf made a bunch of

387
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,400
Speaker 3: mistakes and that was that was, you know.

388
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 7: The big factor in that game.

389
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,920
Speaker 3: If he doesn't turn the football over with those bunch

390
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 3: of interceptions, it's definitely a little bit different ball game

391
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:13,360
Speaker 3: for sure, And maybe if they called.

392
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 7: A different game too as well. Ben Johnson, not the.

393
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:17,920
Speaker 3: Best idea to have your wide receiver throwing the football

394
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 3: out there, but I digress. I will say, you know, look, Jaden,

395
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 3: I want to give a cliff a ton of credit

396
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 3: offensive coordinator. He's been able to work with him and

397
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 3: get them comfortable. You see a lot of those bubble

398
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 3: screens and now.

399
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 7: He'll take shots down the field.

400
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:36,479
Speaker 3: But I just don't see those bubble screens those you know,

401
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:40,199
Speaker 3: anything that's short really being successful. Zach Ertz has just

402
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 3: came back on the scene from the dead.

403
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:46,159
Speaker 7: We know him really well here in Philadelphia, big fan favorite.

404
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:48,680
Speaker 7: But it's surprising to see what he's been able to

405
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 7: do in that offense.

406
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:53,880
Speaker 3: I know, they got really good wide receivers, scary Terry, decent.

407
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 7: Run game, and then Eckler coming out of the backfield.

408
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 3: There's a lot to like they're playing great football. Four

409
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 3: teams remained, they're all, well, they all have something positive

410
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 3: for him. But this defense, I'm telling you, this is

411
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 3: the message right here, right now.

412
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 7: It doesn't matter what the.

413
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:11,679
Speaker 3: Eagles offense to does, it's what comes down to that

414
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 3: Eagles defense and if they rise to the occasion, that

415
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 3: are number one overall defense.

416
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:18,119
Speaker 7: And they've been a different animal.

417
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 3: Since that lost to Tampa back in Week four. I

418
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:23,159
Speaker 3: want to say it was ever since then. They just

419
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 3: turned the page and you're getting just unbelievable play from

420
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:30,400
Speaker 3: rookies from quinnya Minchell, Cooper, Dejen of course, Slaves coming

421
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 3: on strong, and Jalen Carter finally having that Jalen Carter game.

422
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:36,440
Speaker 7: And I really reluctant to say that.

423
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 3: Because this is a guy that takes on two defenders

424
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 3: every single snap, but he was able to get through

425
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,160
Speaker 3: against the Rams in that nasty weather.

426
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:45,920
Speaker 7: And get after Stafford.

427
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 3: That was really his game last week, his coming out

428
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 3: partying in the playoffs.

429
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:51,160
Speaker 7: So hopefully there's some more of that tomorrow.

430
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 2: Sean Brace joining us here on Fox Sports Radio. Sean

431
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 2: of course hosts Monday through Friday three pm to six

432
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 2: pm Eastern in Philadelphia. Fox Sports Radio The Gambler. You

Speaker 2: can follow him on Twitter at Sean Underscore Brace Sean.

434
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 2: So I just want to ask you a big picture,

435
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 2: how does the city feel about Sirianni. I mean, we're obviously,

436
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:12,360
Speaker 2: you know, beyond the point of he's on the hot seat,

437
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 2: he's this, he's that. But in a big game, do

438
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:17,199
Speaker 2: they trust him or is it just a sum is

439
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 2: greater than the parts. And we just believe in the

440
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 2: fifty three guys on the field despite what the situation

441
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 2: is with the with the head coach.

442
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 3: There's a lot of split emotions when it comes to

443
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:31,359
Speaker 3: head coach. Nick Sirianna is winning percentages right now, the

444
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:35,360
Speaker 3: number one winning percentage in Philadelphia Eagles history. Four seasons,

445
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 3: made a playoffs in all four second trip possibly to

446
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:39,959
Speaker 3: a Super Bowl.

447
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 7: I'm hand in the air boys.

448
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,479
Speaker 3: If he lost that game to the Green Bay Packers,

449
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 3: I didn't see him returning. And that's just the being

450
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:51,679
Speaker 3: realistic about the situation and the embarrassment of riches Howie

451
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 3: Roseman has gave him to work with, and you know

452
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 3: that's just Look, Doug Peterson won a Super Bowl, first

453
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,439
Speaker 3: win in franchise history. He got fired. So if you

454
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,399
Speaker 3: don't get the job done. Jeffrey loriie. The expectations are

455
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:06,159
Speaker 3: really high, and that's just what's going to happen. But

456
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 3: at this point in time, his job is safe no

457
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 3: matter what happens. And you know, look, I'll argue with

458
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 3: plenty of Eagles fans over that throughout the course of

459
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,400
Speaker 3: a week, because there's a lot of Nick Sirianni backers.

460
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:18,359
Speaker 7: He's proved me wrong, though, I want to put that

461
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:18,880
Speaker 7: in the air.

462
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,680
Speaker 3: Two times I've doubted that guy and his coaching ability

463
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 3: and he's proved me wrong.

464
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 7: And that one was this year.

465
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 3: Against Tampa because that team didn't look like they wanted

466
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,119
Speaker 3: to beat out there in that South Florida weather, and

467
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,680
Speaker 3: all they did was just turn the page and became

468
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:35,239
Speaker 3: a whole different team and been that team that we

469
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:37,159
Speaker 3: thought they were going to be coming.

470
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:37,680
Speaker 7: Into the season.

471
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 3: And then the Super Bowl year, they went off to

472
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:41,880
Speaker 3: Vegas and they got blown out. I lost my mind

473
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:43,880
Speaker 3: on air, and they turned the page and they were

474
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 3: able to make the.

475
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:46,160
Speaker 7: Run from that point on as well.

476
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 3: So anytime I've doubted him, doubted him, I have egg

477
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 3: on my face.

478
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 7: But what I will tell you is I think Kellamore

479
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 7: is really good.

480
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 3: I believe in Vic fanned you on the defensive side

481
00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 3: of the ball. What he's got going on has his place.

482
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 3: He's been able to get the team believing he is

483
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 3: that leader. Not the best on the microphone, but nobody

484
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 3: cares former player like. He brings that that mindset and

485
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:14,439
Speaker 3: he's able to galvanize like the team behind him. So

486
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 3: there is a lot to like about him. But I

487
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 3: will tell you, if you had to ask me whether

488
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 3: I was in the Nick Sirianni camp or not, hand

489
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 3: in the air, I would say I was not.

490
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 7: But he's proven me wrong. We'll see what happens tomorrow.

491
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:31,399
Speaker 5: Sean, We'll go, we'll we'll go hypothetically and say, you, guys,

492
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:34,720
Speaker 5: the Eagles do win the game, who do you like

493
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 5: in a matchup in the Super Bowl between Kansas City

494
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 5: who of course, well we've seen that matchup before, or

495
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 5: a Buffalo team that's firing on all cylinders.

496
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:45,119
Speaker 7: I'm gonna yell it.

497
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 3: I'm gonna yell it right now on Fox Sports Radio.

498
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 3: You ready, I can't. I'm so happy you asked me

499
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 3: this question. I want the Kansas City chief. It's not

500
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:57,679
Speaker 3: about the matchup. I want the best of the best,

501
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 3: Like Travis Kelsey said, you think we're scared, but it's

502
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:01,680
Speaker 3: in a Walmart parking pot.

503
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 7: That's what it's all about.

504
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:07,120
Speaker 3: You want Mahomes, I want Andy Reid, I want Spaggs,

505
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 3: I want that defensive line. I want everything that Kansas

506
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 3: City is going to bring to that game. Taylor Swift,

507
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:17,119
Speaker 3: Mahomes's old lady, Kelsey's old lady.

508
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 7: Bring them all. I can't wait because that would.

509
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 3: Be what it's all about, right, the best of the best,

510
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 3: so much to play for. No other team has ever

511
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 3: done it before. And the Eagles were so close, so close.

512
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 3: It pains me to relive that Super Bowl, so close

513
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 3: to beating the Kansas City Chiefs a.

514
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 7: Couple of years ago.

515
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,159
Speaker 3: What a day that was up by double digits a

516
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 3: halftime and then just coughing it up. So yes, put

517
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 3: in the perspective as far as matchup to the side,

518
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:43,879
Speaker 3: because I think.

519
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:44,639
Speaker 7: They're both the same.

520
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 3: I mean, Buffalo's got their strengths, they got their weaknesses.

521
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 3: Kansas City is Kansas City. But if you ask me

522
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 3: who I want, bring on.

523
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:53,920
Speaker 7: The Chiefs, please the doors.

524
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 2: I'm afraid to ask another question after you've called out

525
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 2: Taylor Swift because I feel like that's the best way

526
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:04,160
Speaker 2: to And I did just have one sort of non

527
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 2: Eagles related question, and it's what jaymar and I are

528
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:08,880
Speaker 2: going to talk as we let you off the air here.

529
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 2: What do you make of the situation with the Cowboys?

530
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 2: I mean, it's it's like it's embarrassing at this point.

531
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:16,200
Speaker 2: As an outside I don't play him twice a year,

532
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:17,679
Speaker 2: My team doesn't play him twice a year. But as

533
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 2: a dude who sees that organization twice a year knows, hey, listen, listen.

534
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:25,440
Speaker 2: And I've been critical of McCarthy, but he did take

535
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:28,160
Speaker 2: him to the playoffs three times. Whatever the point I'm

536
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,880
Speaker 2: trying to make the whole debacle with is he coming back?

537
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:31,359
Speaker 5: Is he not?

538
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,160
Speaker 2: You get way behind on the coaching search, and then, oh,

539
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 2: by the way, you now bring in a guy.

540
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 4: That you know, was it a play caller?

541
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:42,159
Speaker 2: It had no real I don't know, I'm setting it

542
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 2: up for you, But as a dude who has seen

543
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 2: the highs of the highs with the Cowboys, but certainly

544
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 2: a lot of loads of late what do you just

545
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:51,399
Speaker 2: make of what happened the last twenty four hours with

546
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:52,159
Speaker 2: that coaching search?

547
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 7: Long Live Jerry Jones.

548
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 3: I hope he lives till he's like one thirty. Keep

549
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 3: running the Cowboys, my friend. Yeah, Look, it's no surprise

550
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,680
Speaker 3: that they would go with Shotneiber. I thought Kellen Moore

551
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:09,399
Speaker 3: was absolutely going to be the guy, but it didn't

552
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 3: turn out to be the case.

553
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 7: And I don't know.

554
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 3: What Schottenneimer was able to say to him. I would

555
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:17,119
Speaker 3: have I would assume it has something to do with like, hey, Jerry,

556
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 3: it's your team. You tell me where you want, you

557
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:20,400
Speaker 3: tell me what you.

558
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 7: Want to hear.

559
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:23,640
Speaker 3: It's just that's my take on I'm not in the room,

560
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 3: so I would I would imagine that had to go

561
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:28,919
Speaker 3: something like that as far as the interview process gets concerned,

562
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,680
Speaker 3: because you have to believe that people want that job.

563
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:34,919
Speaker 3: It's the Dallas Cowboy coaching job. Like that's that's a

564
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 3: pretty darn good brand to be in charge of. But

565
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 3: the problem is is Jerry Jones is making all the decisions,

566
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 3: so it doesn't shock me. It does not shock me

567
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 3: one bit. And Shottenneimer is elevated now as the head

568
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:50,160
Speaker 3: coach and I love it so long live Jared Jones forever.

569
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:54,120
Speaker 2: Please calling out Taylor Swift and wishing another fifty years

570

678
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 2: show is over, but I do want to go to

679
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 2: some of the other news of the week, and and

680
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 2: and I want to start with the one that I'll

681
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 2: be honest, kind of caught me by surprise. Monday afternoon,

682
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:37,960
Speaker 2: Chicago Bears officially announced well it wasn't. They didn't officially

683
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 2: announce it, but it was reported by Adam Schefter. It's

684
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 2: has since obviously not only been confirmed, but Ben Johnson

685
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 2: is officially the Chicago Bears head coach. You know, I

686
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 2: remember being on here on air with you this time

687
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 2: last week and we were talking about those Raiders rumors.

688
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 4: What is that about?

689
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 7: Is he?

690
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 5: You know?

691
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 2: And it it was the one that we felt like

692
00:32:57,640 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 2: all season. Oh man, you know he's He's the hot

693
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 2: coordinator right now. Caleb Williams needs an offensive head coach.

694
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 2: Then as the carousel started spinning, it felt like it

695
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 2: just wasn't gonna happen. The Bears were interviewing a million

696
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 2: different guys. Next thing, you know, looks like it was

697
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 2: all smoke screen. Ben Johnson is officially the Chicago Bears

698
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 2: head coach. I got a lot of thoughts, but I'm

699
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 2: excited to hear what you have to say as well.

700
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 5: Well. I mean, I think that they did a good

701
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 5: job because I mean, yeah, could he turn out to

702
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 5: be another Matt Naggi in terms of his oc becoming

703
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 5: a head coach? Maybe too soon, I suppose so. But

704
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 5: I think this tells you a couple of things. It

705
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 5: tells you that Ben Johnson believes Caleb Williams can play,

706
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 5: and he believes that he can be a savior of

707
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 5: sorts when it comes to Caleb Williams' career. After one

708
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 5: bad year or one just kind of thrown away, tossed

709
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 5: away into the garbage kind of year. And I look

710
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 5: at it from Ben's perspective, So he could have had

711
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 5: any job, and he takes Chicago. Chicago's been and I'm

712
00:33:55,880 --> 00:34:00,280
Speaker 5: not very good for a long long time. But Ben

713
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 5: Johnson has been game planning against defenses in the NFC

714
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 5: North for a couple of years now, yep. So he

715
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 5: understands that side of the ball in terms of the

716
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 5: opponents that he's going to see most often. He looks

717
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:14,400
Speaker 5: at Caleb Williams. He played him twice this year, so

718
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:16,799
Speaker 5: he looks at him across the way and he you know,

719
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 5: he's able to see strengths weak and says what he

720
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 5: might need to tweak, what he might need to fix.

721
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:25,360
Speaker 5: He feels pretty good about that assignment. You look at

722
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 5: some of the skill talent that they had acquired over

723
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:30,360
Speaker 5: the last couple of years. It's not bad. The defense

724
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 5: is not a disaster. And here's the thing. If you're

725
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 5: Ben Johnson, if you go in there and win, nobody

726
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 5: has won in Chicago for so long that it puts

727
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 5: you in a first off. It's a great sports town,

728
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:44,239
Speaker 5: especially when you're winning. And it would give him, I mean,

729
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:47,040
Speaker 5: he would be able to write his own check after that, Like,

730
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 5: I mean, do you want to go to Jacksonville? Do

731
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:51,040
Speaker 5: you want to go to some of these other places?

732
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 5: It doesn't seem like it. So I mean, I think

733
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:55,319
Speaker 5: for Chicago, you could have done a lot worse, And

734
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:57,919
Speaker 5: some of the names that were being valued around were

735
00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:00,759
Speaker 5: a whole lot worse. They kind of get the prize coordinator,

736
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:03,840
Speaker 5: the one everybody was talking about. And I think for

737
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:06,880
Speaker 5: him it shows confidence and if you're Caleb Williams, you

738
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 5: have to feel good because it shows that somebody who's

739
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:11,360
Speaker 5: been watching and has had a lot of success in

740
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 5: the NFL calling plays and designing offenses thinks that you

741
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:18,640
Speaker 5: can be the guy for him and is going to

742
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 5: hitch his career to yours. So I like a lot

743
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:23,040
Speaker 5: about this quite.

744
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 2: Frankly, so I do too, And I think the last

745
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:29,200
Speaker 2: point you bring up to me is probably the most important.

746
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:32,760
Speaker 2: Is I know Ben Johnson isn't game planning to stop

747
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:36,759
Speaker 2: Caleb Williams, but at the same time seeing him up

748
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:38,840
Speaker 2: closing in person twice, and if he didn't feel like

749
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:41,320
Speaker 2: there was something to work with there, he obviously wouldn't

750
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:41,879
Speaker 2: have taken this job.

751
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 4: As a guy that was obviously very coveted.

752
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:46,920
Speaker 2: So you know, listen, I've used this analogy before and

753
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 2: maybe even specifically about Caleb, is that you know, at

754
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:51,600
Speaker 2: the end of the day, I say this all the time,

755
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 2: I don't care if a quarterback succeeds or quarterback fails.

756
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 2: You know, like am I saying, I don't care, Like

757
00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:59,399
Speaker 2: I'm not rooting against anybody, But like my life, I'm

758
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:02,000
Speaker 2: not a fan of it. My life doesn't fundamentally change

759
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:04,680
Speaker 2: if Caleb Williams becomes a star or Drake May becomes

760
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:06,960
Speaker 2: a star, Michael Petty, it doesn't matter to me. But

761
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:10,480
Speaker 2: what I always like with any young quarterback is are

762
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:14,600
Speaker 2: they at least put in the best position to succeed possible.

763
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 2: I remember using this analogy last year with Justin Herbert,

764
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:20,720
Speaker 2: where you know, we spent weeks, you know, Brandon Staley's

765
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 2: fired the middle of the year, and we say, are

766
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:24,919
Speaker 2: the Chargers gonna go out and make a big boy

767
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 2: coaching hire or are they are gonna nickel and dime

768
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:29,960
Speaker 2: like they tend to do Brandon Staley, Anthony Lynn blah

769
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:32,360
Speaker 2: blah blah blah blah. And when they hired Jim Harbaugh,

770
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:34,960
Speaker 2: I said, look, I don't know if justin Herbert's gonna hit.

771
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 2: I don't know if he's not gonna hit, but I

772
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,880
Speaker 2: just love that he was put in the best position

773
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 2: possible with Jim Harbaugh, and I feel the exact same

774
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 2: way with Ben Johnson. Is I do feel like this

775
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:48,480
Speaker 2: is a position where Caleb Williams obviously has a great

776
00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:53,319
Speaker 2: offensive mind, a great QB developer, an offensive developer. And

777
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 2: you know, especially by the way, given all the reports

778
00:36:56,200 --> 00:37:01,319
Speaker 2: and rumors and innuendo about at the coaching search with

779
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:03,520
Speaker 2: the Chicago Bears. You know, when we were on air

780
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:06,759
Speaker 2: last week, it was Eddie George's interviewing for the job,

781
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:08,600
Speaker 2: and it's like, no disrespect to Eddie George. I know

782
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 2: he's crushing it at the HBCU level, but is that

783
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 2: the guy you want to bring in? You know, Brian

784
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:18,120
Speaker 2: Flores interviewed whoever, It doesn't really matter. The point was

785
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:20,719
Speaker 2: Ben Johnson was always the guy. He was going to

786
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 2: be the guy. Jmart don't know if you have anything

787
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:25,120
Speaker 2: else on Ben Johnson, but really quickly, I was gonna say,

788
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:26,399
Speaker 2: I want to get some of the other coaching highs.

789
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 2: Did you have anything to add on Ben Johnson and

790
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:28,480
Speaker 2: the Bears?

791
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:31,000
Speaker 5: Real quick only other thing I'll say is something I've

792
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:33,440
Speaker 5: said in the past, especially in this case. You had

793
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:36,280
Speaker 5: to go get an offensive coach. Yes, in my opinion,

794
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:39,400
Speaker 5: I did not think and I generally believe this period,

795
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:42,160
Speaker 5: although you could end up with the wrong one, certainly,

796
00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:44,480
Speaker 5: But if you don't get an offensive guy and he's

797
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:46,640
Speaker 5: red hot and you have a good OC, that guy's

798
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 5: gonna leave for a head coaching job. Talk to Dan

799
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 5: Campbell about it. He just watched his guy go to Chicago.

800
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:54,040
Speaker 5: But if you hired the offensive guy first, he's gonna

801
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:56,719
Speaker 5: stick around because there's only lateral moves from where he

802
00:37:56,760 --> 00:38:00,800
Speaker 5: currently is unless there's money discrepancy or something to that degree.

803
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:04,360
Speaker 5: So I think that for Caleb Williams, they couldn't mess

804
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 5: this up again. You have to give him the best

805
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:09,120
Speaker 5: chance to succeed, as you said, and this, to me

806
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 5: is the best bet. This doesn't seem like a risk anymore.

807
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:15,279
Speaker 5: This seems like about the least amount of risk that

808
00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:17,840
Speaker 5: you could have done. And it's a splash higher because

809
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 5: this was the red hot offensive name and you landed him,

810
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 5: and you've got the number one pick in the draft

811
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:27,839
Speaker 5: only a year away, you know, a year removed from

812
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:29,840
Speaker 5: being the number one pick in the draft, and there's

813
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 5: still time to not just fix this, but really turn

814
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 5: it around.

815
00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:36,080
Speaker 2: So we'll save some of the other coaches for later

816
00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:39,160
Speaker 2: in the show really quickly. Do you believe Caleb Williams

817
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:42,560
Speaker 2: will Do you think they'll get things going with Ben Johnson? Obviously,

818
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:45,399
Speaker 2: you know, especially with the way Jayden Daniels is playing,

819
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:48,080
Speaker 2: there's even a bigger spotlight on Caleb Williams. Do you

820
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 2: think this is the moment where things finally get going.

821
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:53,399
Speaker 5: Yes, I don't. I'm not gonna go as far as

822
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:56,680
Speaker 5: to say anything about Jade Daniels or how far Caleb

823
00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:58,840
Speaker 5: Williams is going to go or anything, because we just

824
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:01,319
Speaker 5: have no idea. But I think that this is going

825
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:04,600
Speaker 5: to unleash Caleb Williams and give him the best opportunity

826
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:07,440
Speaker 5: to become the Kleb Williams we thought he could be

827
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:10,040
Speaker 5: coming out of college. So yeah, I am. I'm very

828
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:12,239
Speaker 5: bullish on this move. I think it's going to work.

829
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:13,600
Speaker 5: I think it will too.

830
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:17,160
Speaker 2: Like I said, I'm just excited for Caleb Williams because

831
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:20,719
Speaker 2: you look at all of the names that they were interviewing,

832
00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:23,720
Speaker 2: and it's no disrespect to anybody else, but you draft

833
00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:26,160
Speaker 2: this kid number one overall. By the way, we all

834
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 2: know about the politics with the Chicago Bears. Kevin warrens

835
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:32,000
Speaker 2: the president. You know, I did some research during this

836
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:34,800
Speaker 2: whole process. It seems like Kevin Warren is basically acting

837
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:36,880
Speaker 2: as the owner as the mccaskes kind of take a

838
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:37,400
Speaker 2: back seat.

839
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:39,799
Speaker 4: So you wondered, are they going to screw this up?

840
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:42,120
Speaker 4: And it seems like they got the right hire. Only

841
00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:42,759
Speaker 4: time will tell.

842
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 2: This is Fox Sports Radio eron tourist Jason Martin. We

843
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:48,360

Speaker 2: we come back. We will stay in the NFL because

846
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:56,239
Speaker 2: the Bears aren't the only team that has a new

847
00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:56,720
Speaker 2: head coach.

848
00:39:57,120 --> 00:40:01,239
Speaker 4: The Cowboys do. But don't really know what else there

849
00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:01,920
Speaker 4: is to say about it.

850
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:05,040
Speaker 2: We got a lot to discuss though, Fox Sports Radio.

851
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:08,040
Speaker 1: Don't listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

852

00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:31,000
Speaker 2: way tire buying should be. By the way Jmart, I'm

858
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:34,840
Speaker 2: officially California Soft. Went next door to grab a gatorade

859
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:37,960
Speaker 2: during the commercial break. It was raining, first of all,

860
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:40,399
Speaker 2: almost considered not even going because of the rain.

861
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:45,239
Speaker 4: Then stepped in a big puddle and I'm just I'm I'm.

862
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:47,440
Speaker 5: Let your bag man. Yeah, I bet that was difficult.

863
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:49,239
Speaker 2: First of all, if I don't make it, you know,

864
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:51,640
Speaker 2: tell my family I love them. But also, you know,

865
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:54,759
Speaker 2: one foot soaking wet, one foot dry. You know, I

866
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:58,040
Speaker 2: feel like you know Phil Connors in Groundhog Day. You know,

867
00:40:58,120 --> 00:40:59,920
Speaker 2: watch out for that first step. It's a doozy.

868
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:01,160
Speaker 5: Uh.

869
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:03,960
Speaker 2: So yeah, if I'm a little off my game, uh

870
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:06,080
Speaker 2: that might be it. So yes, so pray for me

871
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:09,080
Speaker 2: with one soaking wet foot in one completely drive.

872
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:12,480
Speaker 5: Good job, I mean, I mean, first off, again, just

873
00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:16,480
Speaker 5: off to you for the effort being able to make

874
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:20,319
Speaker 5: it back on time and now playing hurt too. I mean,

875
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:24,239
Speaker 5: you've got one foot. That's that's certainly problematic right now.

876
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 5: I certainly hope it wasn't cold water because that could

877
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:33,120
Speaker 5: potentially be a frostbite situation. And I mean look, Jordan

878
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:35,920
Speaker 5: had this flu game. Yes, and you have got your

879
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:38,040
Speaker 5: I stepped in a puddle trying to get a gatorade

880
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:39,319
Speaker 5: during the commercial break game.

881
00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:42,719
Speaker 2: Yes, it's it's it's it's really trying times. I will

882
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:46,040
Speaker 2: say this, There's only one thing that could make it worse. Thankfully,

883
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:48,480
Speaker 2: I'm not a Dallas Cowboys fan because I because if

884
00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:50,879
Speaker 2: I was a Cowboys fan and I had a wet foot,

885
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:52,040
Speaker 2: I might just call it a career.

886
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:53,080
Speaker 4: I think we might have.

887
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:55,120
Speaker 5: Face planet in the puddle that you stepped in.

888
00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:58,280
Speaker 2: Yes, somehow, I'm still having a better day than every

889
00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:01,560
Speaker 2: single Cowboys fan in America because it was really a

890
00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:04,240
Speaker 2: little over twenty four hours ago the news became official.

891
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:06,840
Speaker 2: I can't even wait to go back and listen to

892
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:08,719
Speaker 2: what Jason Smith and Mike Harmon had to say about

893
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:11,080
Speaker 2: it as it happened in real time during their show.

894
00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:15,600
Speaker 2: I believe, but it is official. Brian Schottenheimer, who was

895
00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:19,480
Speaker 2: of course the offensive coordinator last year in title only

896
00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:22,640
Speaker 2: because of course, Mike McCarthy called plays. He has been

897
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:25,800
Speaker 2: in the NFL forever. He has never been a head coach.

898
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:28,360
Speaker 2: I don't know that he's ever been anywhere close to

899
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:31,440
Speaker 2: being a head coach. He was serving as an analyst

900
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:34,440
Speaker 2: as recently as three years ago, two years, two seasons

901
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:38,719
Speaker 2: ago with the Dallas Cowboys. Brian Schottenheimer is officially the

902
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:43,120
Speaker 2: Dallas Cowboys head coach. Jmart I have so many thoughts

903
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:46,120
Speaker 2: on the state of this organization. First of all, so

904
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 2: it's crazy, right because we were on air last week,

905
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:50,120
Speaker 2: and you know, there was the Dion stuff, but it

906
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:53,120
Speaker 2: didn't really feel like it was going anywhere. As Sean Brace,

907
00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:55,759
Speaker 2: our guest from Philadelphia, said, it felt like Kellen Moore

908
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:58,400
Speaker 2: was going to be the guy. Brian Schottenheimer's kind of

909
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:00,799
Speaker 2: picking up steam all week. But I think even the

910
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:05,160
Speaker 2: most you know, pessimistic Cowboys person or critic, like you know,

911
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:07,879
Speaker 2: maybe myself and you was like, no, they're not really

912
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:10,600
Speaker 2: hiring Brian Shott. Oh, they hired Brian Schottenheimer a little

913
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:13,680
Speaker 2: over twenty four hours ago. Where were you and what

914
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:14,560
Speaker 2: were you doing.

915
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:16,880
Speaker 4: When you found out Brian Schottenheimer was the Dallas Cowboys.

916
00:43:17,239 --> 00:43:18,600
Speaker 5: I don't know if it was one of the Fox

917
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:21,160
Speaker 5: emails that we get from everybody out there, or if

918
00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:25,360
Speaker 5: it was some other breaking news alert that I received,

919
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:31,279
Speaker 5: but I was just kind of stunned. My reaction to

920
00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:35,120
Speaker 5: it immediately was I mean, was Mike McCarthy not available?

921
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:37,120
Speaker 4: Apparently?

922
00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:40,279
Speaker 2: I mean, really like, this is the one negotiation Jerry

923
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:43,919
Speaker 2: went hard on deck. You get whatever you want, ceedee Lamb,

924
00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:47,760
Speaker 2: you get whatever you want. Mike McCarthy, Sorry, that extra

925
00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:49,799
Speaker 2: year that you want in your contract, We're gonna go

926
00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:50,880
Speaker 2: in another direction.

927
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:54,080
Speaker 5: So yeah, so you know, we had Sean brace on

928
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:56,359
Speaker 5: from Philadelphia on in the first hour, and he even said,

929
00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:58,200
Speaker 5: you know, it's a cowboys job. People want the job.

930
00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:01,560
Speaker 5: And I was looking at some of the names that said, well,

931
00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:04,560
Speaker 5: you know, they weren't interested. Jerry Jones wasn't interested in Rabel,

932
00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:08,160
Speaker 5: he wasn't interested in Belichick. So that tells you right there.

933
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:11,120
Speaker 5: One of the things he really wasn't interested in is

934
00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:14,920
Speaker 5: somebody that wanted any kind of control whatsoever. Anybody that

935
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:18,880
Speaker 5: you had a bit of a headstrong personality. Vrabel controlled

936
00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:20,520
Speaker 5: a lot of things here in Nashville when he was

937
00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:22,200
Speaker 5: with the Titans. You can see he's gonna do the

938
00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:26,000
Speaker 5: same thing in New England. And Belichick was certainly a

939
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:28,239
Speaker 5: guy that won in power. And then you heard some

940
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:31,160
Speaker 5: of the other offensive coordinator names. Apparently there was never

941
00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:35,040
Speaker 5: any interest in like a Ben Johnson type or something

942
00:44:35,120 --> 00:44:37,240
Speaker 5: like that, according to some of the things that I read.

943
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:42,200
Speaker 5: But Brian Schottenheimer like the same Brian Schottenheimer whose offense

944
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:46,160
Speaker 5: in Seattle was first down run, second down run, third

945
00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:49,600
Speaker 5: down Russ cooked like over and over and over again.

946
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:51,680
Speaker 5: It really was like, hey, Russ, now it's third down

947
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:53,920
Speaker 5: in sixteen, get us out of it, draw us up

948
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:56,480
Speaker 5: and up in the dirt and make it happen for us.

949
00:44:57,000 --> 00:45:02,040
Speaker 5: Like I don't, this has gotta be the most underwhelming

950
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:05,160
Speaker 5: hire that you could have had for a major sports team,

951
00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:09,400
Speaker 5: Like Schottenheimer is the name, that's what you end up with,

952
00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:12,799
Speaker 5: Like callin Moore made sense to me. He had name,

953
00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:15,839
Speaker 5: and his offense is doing great things at Philadelphia this year.

954
00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:19,640
Speaker 5: He understands the division like some of that, yeah exactly,

955
00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:24,080
Speaker 5: and of course, yeah, tied to the organization specifically. But

956
00:45:24,080 --> 00:45:31,239
Speaker 5: but but but brought Brian Schottenheimer that that's what we

957
00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:33,319
Speaker 5: are with the Cowboys. The one thing I'll say is

958
00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:36,919
Speaker 5: this the Cowboys. I was almost gonna ask Sean Brace

959
00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:38,799
Speaker 5: this question. I didn't because I thought I thought it

960
00:45:38,960 --> 00:45:41,080
Speaker 5: really would have been just too much low hanging fruit

961
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:46,439
Speaker 5: for a Philadelphia radio host. But are the Cowboys now

962
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:50,480
Speaker 5: just irrelevant and boring, Like when you really look at it,

963
00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:55,239
Speaker 5: they take no risks, they do nothing particularly interesting. They're

964
00:45:55,239 --> 00:46:00,680
Speaker 5: controversial only because they get covered like their contents, but

965
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:03,040
Speaker 5: most of what they do it's not even that interesting.

966
00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:07,520
Speaker 5: Their offense is relatively boring, the defense isn't particularly exciting.

967
00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:11,399
Speaker 5: Jerry Jones has become just you know exactly what he's

968
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:15,200
Speaker 5: gonna do, seemingly every single time. He is very conservative.

969
00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:19,640
Speaker 5: He is risk averse at this point, like the Cowboys,

970
00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:22,520
Speaker 5: the glitz, the America's Team, all of that that is

971
00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:26,040
Speaker 5: fading more and more by the day because there's nothing

972
00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:30,200
Speaker 5: to me particularly interesting about the Dallas Cowboys. Like if

973
00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:33,400
Speaker 5: basically the exact same thing had happened but it was

974
00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:35,239
Speaker 5: the New Orleans Saints, I wouldn't have been able to

975
00:46:35,239 --> 00:46:37,640
Speaker 5: tell the difference. Like the Saints are a boring team

976
00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:39,120
Speaker 5: in the league right now, which is why they don't

977
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:40,800
Speaker 5: have a head coach, because they have a bunch of

978
00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:42,759
Speaker 5: people that are interviewing and saying, I don't think I'm

979
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:45,719
Speaker 5: gonna stay in Buffalo. But you look at you look

980
00:46:45,719 --> 00:46:48,480
Speaker 5: at Dallas, and it's just kind of like, why do

981
00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:51,040
Speaker 5: I want to watch this team? Like, what about this

982
00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:54,400
Speaker 5: is interesting? At this point, we got Jayden Daniels in Washington,

983
00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:57,600
Speaker 5: we already know what Philadelphia is. New York's at least

984
00:46:57,719 --> 00:47:00,879
Speaker 5: doing some interesting things. I may I don't know. New

985
00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:02,799
Speaker 5: York and Dallas are supposed to be the teams in

986
00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:04,880
Speaker 5: that division and right now they're after thoughts.

987
00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:08,759
Speaker 2: So I agree with all of it. And one, first

988
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:10,800
Speaker 2: of all, I do agree they kind of feel irrelevant

989
00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:14,920
Speaker 2: what I would say, and I know that it's easy

990
00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:18,360
Speaker 2: to like get into all these hyperbolic, you know things

991
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:21,440
Speaker 2: in a moment like this. I think they're officially the

992
00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:24,359
Speaker 2: worst run organization in pro sports. And I really mean

993
00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:28,439
Speaker 2: that because if you just think about everything that has

994
00:47:28,520 --> 00:47:30,080
Speaker 2: happened over the last couple of years.

995
00:47:30,080 --> 00:47:32,040
Speaker 4: Okay, and first of all, I agree with everything you said.

996
00:47:32,040 --> 00:47:32,479
Speaker 4: They're boring.

997
00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:35,680
Speaker 2: They don't take risks, you know, Jerry for whatever reason.

998
00:47:35,719 --> 00:47:37,560
Speaker 2: I think people finally picked up on it the last

999
00:47:37,719 --> 00:47:40,200
Speaker 2: year or so when they really didn't fire McCarthy after

1000
00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:43,799
Speaker 2: last year's playoffs. Jerry is the opposite of who we

1001
00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:46,359
Speaker 2: think that he is, or who we once thought he is,

1002
00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:50,040
Speaker 2: which you know, this rebel risk taker. No, No, he's actually

1003
00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:52,440
Speaker 2: very very very conservative and very very, very boring.

1004
00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:54,840
Speaker 4: But if you look at this, I mean, let's just

1005
00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:55,400
Speaker 4: talk it out.

1006
00:47:55,440 --> 00:47:55,720
Speaker 9: Okay.

1007
00:47:56,080 --> 00:48:00,880
Speaker 2: So you have the Mike McCarthy situation. I think you

1008
00:48:00,880 --> 00:48:04,080
Speaker 2: should have been fired even before last year's playoffs. I

1009
00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:07,160
Speaker 2: don't think it was justifiable in any way, shape or

1010
00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:10,759
Speaker 2: form to bring him back last year, especially by the way,

1011
00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:13,360
Speaker 2: given the pool of candidates that was available. Belichick was

1012
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:15,800
Speaker 2: available last year, Mike Rabel was available last year. You

1013
00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:18,600
Speaker 2: could have promoted Dan Quinn, who we knew was getting

1014
00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:21,600
Speaker 2: a job. There were so many good alternatives, but you

1015
00:48:21,719 --> 00:48:24,040
Speaker 2: end up running it back with Mike McCarthy. You wait

1016
00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:27,640
Speaker 2: all summer, you give Dak the biggest contract in the

1017
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:32,520
Speaker 2: history of pro football, which for some reason that weirdly

1018
00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:35,120
Speaker 2: gives Jerry an ego boost when all it does is

1019
00:48:35,239 --> 00:48:39,600
Speaker 2: hamstring your team with a B to B plus quarterback

1020
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:42,279
Speaker 2: and no wiggle room to do anything else.

1021
00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:46,160
Speaker 4: And that's another conversation for another day. Dak is fine.

1022
00:48:46,560 --> 00:48:49,040
Speaker 2: We know what Dak is at this point in his career,

1023
00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:52,040
Speaker 2: and I think even Cowboys fan you know, I've told

1024
00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:54,680
Speaker 2: this story a million times, but my nephew is a

1025
00:48:54,719 --> 00:48:57,080
Speaker 2: Cowboys fan, and I remember talking to him probably week two,

1026
00:48:57,120 --> 00:48:59,319
Speaker 2: Week three, He's just like, we're never gonna win with Jerry,

1027
00:48:59,360 --> 00:49:01,200
Speaker 2: and we're never gonna win with It's that simple.

1028
00:49:01,520 --> 00:49:03,520
Speaker 4: So you should have fired Mike McCarthy.

1029
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:07,239
Speaker 2: Then you probably shouldn't have given Dak the biggest contract

1030
00:49:07,239 --> 00:49:11,800
Speaker 2: in the history of the NFL. Then the worst part

1031
00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:15,480
Speaker 2: was this whole Mike McCarthy situation Jmark, Because listen, I

1032
00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:17,400
Speaker 2: don't think Mike McCarthy is terrible.

1033
00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:19,919
Speaker 4: I don't think he should have been retained after this year.

1034
00:49:20,280 --> 00:49:23,920
Speaker 2: But what I will also say, if you know that

1035
00:49:24,040 --> 00:49:27,640
Speaker 2: he's coming into a season in a lame duck situation

1036
00:49:28,360 --> 00:49:31,399
Speaker 2: and he starts this season, let's just go back and think.

1037
00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:34,720
Speaker 2: Because they finished seven to ten, it's easy to forget this. Now,

1038
00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:38,279
Speaker 2: let's not forget how the season started. When they were

1039
00:49:38,360 --> 00:49:41,400
Speaker 2: pseudo fully healthy with Dak. They beat the Browns in

1040
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:45,520
Speaker 2: Week one. They proceed to get destroyed by the New

1041
00:49:45,640 --> 00:49:49,360
Speaker 2: Orleans Saints at home. They then proceed to lose to

1042
00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:51,640
Speaker 2: the Ravens. The final score is twenty eight twenty five,

1043
00:49:51,680 --> 00:49:54,000
Speaker 2: but it was actually not at all close, and they

1044
00:49:54,120 --> 00:49:55,560
Speaker 2: rally late to make it respectable.

1045
00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:57,880
Speaker 4: You get a couple wins, you come.

1046
00:49:57,680 --> 00:50:01,160
Speaker 2: Back, you proceed to get destroyed at home, by the

1047
00:50:01,200 --> 00:50:04,160
Speaker 2: Detroit Lions. Okay, and I don't have all the details

1048
00:50:04,160 --> 00:50:05,960
Speaker 2: off the top of my head, but if you remember,

1049
00:50:06,239 --> 00:50:09,719
Speaker 2: first of all, it was four straight losses at home

1050
00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:12,040
Speaker 2: dating back to the playoffs last year, three of them

1051
00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:14,239
Speaker 2: basically by like thirty plus points. That was the game

1052
00:50:14,280 --> 00:50:18,720
Speaker 2: where Ben Johnson was basically calling reversus to the offensive tackle.

1053
00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:21,520
Speaker 2: You know, with four, five, six minutes to go, so

1054
00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:24,720
Speaker 2: you lose, you get destroyed. Okay, you start out three

1055
00:50:24,840 --> 00:50:28,080
Speaker 2: and seven through week eighteen through week eleven, excuse me,

1056
00:50:28,840 --> 00:50:31,839
Speaker 2: At that point you know Mike McCarthy isn't coming back,

1057
00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:35,680
Speaker 2: fire him and get a head start on the coaching search.

1058
00:50:35,760 --> 00:50:38,279
Speaker 2: At that point, you not only could have gotten Mike Rable,

1059
00:50:38,360 --> 00:50:39,920
Speaker 2: you not only could have gotten Ben Jonson, you could

1060
00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:43,120
Speaker 2: have got Bill Belichick if you wanted him. Instead, you

1061
00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:46,120
Speaker 2: let McCarthy coach long enough to win a couple games,

1062
00:50:46,520 --> 00:50:50,400
Speaker 2: and then you start the negotiating process with him after

1063
00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:54,360
Speaker 2: the regular season ends. It's like, again, you should have

1064
00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:57,520
Speaker 2: fired him last year. You then probably should have fired

1065
00:50:57,600 --> 00:51:00,720
Speaker 2: him after you started three and seven. You wait until

1066
00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:02,440
Speaker 2: the end of the year where he has a tiny

1067
00:51:02,480 --> 00:51:05,720
Speaker 2: bit of leverage, and then you start negotiations. You fall

1068
00:51:05,760 --> 00:51:08,680
Speaker 2: behind in the process, and you get a guy that

1069
00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:13,600
Speaker 2: is literally not even a candidate anywhere else. Like, say

1070
00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:15,319
Speaker 2: what you want about some of these other guys, you

1071
00:51:15,360 --> 00:51:18,120
Speaker 2: know whatever, blah blah. Pete Carroll interviewed for other jobs

1072
00:51:18,120 --> 00:51:22,160
Speaker 2: and he's obviously been very successful. Joe whoever, Liam Cohen

1073
00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:24,040
Speaker 2: interviewed for a bunch of jobs. We know that the

1074
00:51:24,080 --> 00:51:26,359
Speaker 2: Buccaneers kind of wanted them as their own head coach.

1075
00:51:26,960 --> 00:51:30,839
Speaker 2: Nobody was trying to hire Brian Schanhammer. To me, there's

1076
00:51:31,040 --> 00:51:34,319
Speaker 2: nothing else to say other than that they are the

1077
00:51:34,360 --> 00:51:38,600
Speaker 2: most poorly run franchise in the NFL. And you know,

1078
00:51:38,719 --> 00:51:41,120
Speaker 2: Sean Brace, our guests from Philadelphia said it a few

1079
00:51:41,120 --> 00:51:44,279
Speaker 2: minutes ago. But like, as long as Jerry's there, I

1080
00:51:44,360 --> 00:51:46,120
Speaker 2: just don't think they have hope. I think we have

1081
00:51:46,239 --> 00:51:50,120
Speaker 2: a thirty year track record and that's getting progressively worse

1082
00:51:50,239 --> 00:51:52,759
Speaker 2: by the year. That he is as much a part

1083
00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:54,960
Speaker 2: of the problem, he is now a bigger problem than

1084
00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:58,480
Speaker 2: he is a solution that is indisputable over probably the

1085
00:51:58,560 --> 00:52:02,040
Speaker 2: last ten twelve years, And it's just embarrassing and sad

1086
00:52:02,080 --> 00:52:03,520
Speaker 2: at this point, to be perfectly honest.

1087
00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:07,640
Speaker 5: So look, there's two things here. One, Jerry has always

1088
00:52:07,640 --> 00:52:10,080
Speaker 5: talked about how he would give an obscene amount of

1089
00:52:10,080 --> 00:52:14,560
Speaker 5: money if you could guarantee him a Super Bowl. Bull crap.

1090
00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:17,799
Speaker 5: Because you have the opportunity to go out and give

1091
00:52:17,840 --> 00:52:20,040
Speaker 5: money to a coach, there's no salary cap. You can

1092
00:52:20,080 --> 00:52:22,440
Speaker 5: do whatever you want. You can hire whoever it is

1093
00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:24,879
Speaker 5: that you want, And the way that you have run

1094
00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:28,759
Speaker 5: the franchise indicates pretty clearly that that's not your number

1095
00:52:28,760 --> 00:52:31,120
Speaker 5: one goal. Your number one goal and your number one

1096
00:52:31,160 --> 00:52:34,960
Speaker 5: priority is the dude that stares at the mirror. Yeah,

1097
00:52:35,239 --> 00:52:37,440
Speaker 5: the guy that you're staring at in the mirror every morning, Jerry,

1098
00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:40,239
Speaker 5: it's you. You're the priority. You're the priority one. The

1099
00:52:40,280 --> 00:52:44,600
Speaker 5: Cowboys a priority too, unlike Cowboys fans, where they would

1100
00:52:44,640 --> 00:52:46,879
Speaker 5: just prefer you to go away, stop doing the radio

1101
00:52:46,960 --> 00:52:50,080
Speaker 5: show all week long, and actually do something that makes

1102
00:52:50,120 --> 00:52:52,879
Speaker 5: sense for your football team. Second thing is this look.

1103
00:52:52,920 --> 00:52:54,520
Speaker 5: Brian Shotan, however, might turn out to be one of

1104
00:52:54,560 --> 00:52:57,399
Speaker 5: the greatest coaches anybody's ever seen, still letting me it's

1105
00:52:57,400 --> 00:53:00,640
Speaker 5: a good hire today. Just doesn't like there's not there's

1106
00:53:00,719 --> 00:53:03,399
Speaker 5: no reason, and your rationale and the way you laid

1107
00:53:03,440 --> 00:53:06,040
Speaker 5: it out is exactly right. People not beating down the

1108
00:53:06,080 --> 00:53:09,840
Speaker 5: door for Brian Schottenheimer right now. Like, if you knew

1109
00:53:09,960 --> 00:53:12,239
Speaker 5: that this is how this was gonna end, then why

1110
00:53:12,239 --> 00:53:14,240
Speaker 5: did you get rid of Mike McCarthy in the first place,

1111
00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:17,640
Speaker 5: Like it doesn't again, like you don't want to give

1112
00:53:17,680 --> 00:53:20,160
Speaker 5: him the extra year, but you're going to hire that

1113
00:53:20,200 --> 00:53:22,960
Speaker 5: guy that would still be available for you next year,

1114
00:53:23,120 --> 00:53:27,479
Speaker 5: year after pretty probably any time in the future, Brian

1115
00:53:27,520 --> 00:53:30,080
Speaker 5: Schottenheimer would still be there for you. I know, it

1116
00:53:30,120 --> 00:53:32,320
Speaker 5: sounds like we're dogging on them. It's just a bad hire.

1117
00:53:32,480 --> 00:53:36,399
Speaker 5: It's an uninspired hire, it's a boring hire. The most

1118
00:53:36,440 --> 00:53:38,600
Speaker 5: exciting thing about it is the content that will be

1119
00:53:38,680 --> 00:53:41,800
Speaker 5: generated this week about it, and it will all be

1120
00:53:42,040 --> 00:53:45,240
Speaker 5: very similar to what we're saying, which is this is dull.

1121
00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:48,719
Speaker 5: I can't believe that this franchise has been reduced to this,

1122
00:53:49,640 --> 00:53:52,359
Speaker 5: Like of all the coaching hires, like dude, you got

1123
00:53:52,440 --> 00:53:55,840
Speaker 5: Dak Prescott, you got Michael Parsons, you got Ceedee Lamb,

1124
00:53:55,840 --> 00:53:57,920
Speaker 5: you got some you've got some pieces, you got some

1125
00:53:57,960 --> 00:54:01,000
Speaker 5: guys that are coming back next year off injury, and

1126
00:54:01,040 --> 00:54:04,719
Speaker 5: you're still the Dallas Cowboys. Like dude, the Raiders got

1127
00:54:04,760 --> 00:54:08,000
Speaker 5: Pete Carroll and they don't have a quarterback like they

1128
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:11,280
Speaker 5: don't have a starting quarterback on the roster like at all,

1129
00:54:11,880 --> 00:54:12,200
Speaker 5: and they.

1130
00:54:14,560 --> 00:54:17,359
Speaker 2: Than you got how about this the fifth best job

1131
00:54:17,400 --> 00:54:21,560
Speaker 2: in the ACC got Bill freakin Belichick, Right, he.

1132
00:54:21,520 --> 00:54:27,720
Speaker 4: Was available six super bowls. He was available. But but again,

1133
00:54:27,880 --> 00:54:31,240
Speaker 4: when you when you're you're sitting on your hands, you're waiting.

1134
00:54:31,800 --> 00:54:35,040
Speaker 2: It's just because, like I said this a minute ago

1135
00:54:35,080 --> 00:54:37,239
Speaker 2: with Caleb Williams, I don't care if Caleb Williams is

1136
00:54:37,280 --> 00:54:39,600
Speaker 2: the best quarterback ever or he isn't, but I want

1137
00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:42,320
Speaker 2: him to be in the position to succeed.

1138
00:54:43,120 --> 00:54:46,040
Speaker 4: I don't care if the Cowboys win or lose.

1139
00:54:46,719 --> 00:54:50,880
Speaker 2: What I don't want is to just see utter incompetence

1140
00:54:51,320 --> 00:54:54,840
Speaker 2: where you know where it's just so obviously a disaster

1141
00:54:55,040 --> 00:55:00,800
Speaker 2: and so I just I mean, it's it's just it's stunning.

1142
00:55:00,880 --> 00:55:03,520
Speaker 2: And then to your point, I think this is the

1143
00:55:03,520 --> 00:55:07,760
Speaker 2: most important one is it's just so obvious that winning

1144
00:55:07,880 --> 00:55:10,799
Speaker 2: is not the priority, and it's just I just I'll

1145
00:55:10,840 --> 00:55:12,640
Speaker 2: be very let me say this, I'll be very curious

1146
00:55:12,680 --> 00:55:16,040
Speaker 2: to say. I don't know how it will show up

1147
00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:18,799
Speaker 2: because a couple things. One, I know that that the

1148
00:55:18,800 --> 00:55:21,240
Speaker 2: Cowboys are always going to get a lot of visiting

1149
00:55:21,320 --> 00:55:23,839
Speaker 2: fans and the you know, Jerry World is a great

1150
00:55:23,840 --> 00:55:26,480
Speaker 2: place to watch a game if you're visiting, and even

1151
00:55:26,520 --> 00:55:28,400
Speaker 2: if you're a Cowboys fan, you know you still want

1152
00:55:28,440 --> 00:55:29,200
Speaker 2: to show up to this day.

1153
00:55:29,680 --> 00:55:34,600
Speaker 4: I wonder what the response is from the fan base.

1154
00:55:34,800 --> 00:55:38,040
Speaker 2: Is there some way that they can tangibly show that

1155
00:55:38,080 --> 00:55:40,800
Speaker 2: they are not going to continue to support this organization,

1156
00:55:40,880 --> 00:55:43,799
Speaker 2: because I just if you're a Cowboys fan, I mean,

1157
00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:47,479
Speaker 2: if you're a Cowboys season ticket holder right now, how

1158
00:55:47,520 --> 00:55:53,759
Speaker 2: can you justifiably spend money to buy tickets knowing that

1159
00:55:53,800 --> 00:55:57,720
Speaker 2: it's exactly what you said, Jason, My organization is not committed.

1160
00:55:57,840 --> 00:56:00,600
Speaker 2: They're committed to winning on their terms. They're not committed

1161
00:56:00,640 --> 00:56:05,240
Speaker 2: to winning at all costs, like Philadelphia, like the Rams,

1162
00:56:05,440 --> 00:56:07,719
Speaker 2: like the forty nine ers, like They're they're committed to

1163
00:56:07,800 --> 00:56:11,040
Speaker 2: winning on their terms. Again, I don't know if there's

1164
00:56:11,080 --> 00:56:13,800
Speaker 2: a tangible way that we'll ever be able to tell,

1165
00:56:14,280 --> 00:56:16,600
Speaker 2: but I just I don't know how the fan base

1166
00:56:16,640 --> 00:56:19,439
Speaker 2: can tolerate this, because this is just it's it's mind

1167
00:56:19,480 --> 00:56:20,840
Speaker 2: boggling and it's embarrassing.

1168
00:56:21,440 --> 00:56:23,600
Speaker 5: Yeah it is. Again. I just can't believe that the

1169
00:56:23,680 --> 00:56:28,680
Speaker 5: Dallas Cowboys are reduced to a move like this. I

1170
00:56:28,800 --> 00:56:33,439
Speaker 5: just it's it's it is staggering, honestly, Like, I don't

1171
00:56:33,520 --> 00:56:36,759
Speaker 5: understand how you get to this point. And I don't

1172
00:56:36,800 --> 00:56:40,560
Speaker 5: understand how you think. I mean, is there nobody that

1173
00:56:40,640 --> 00:56:43,040
Speaker 5: can tell Jerry Jones like this is not going to

1174
00:56:43,080 --> 00:56:45,759
Speaker 5: be received very well, Like our franchise is kind of

1175
00:56:45,800 --> 00:56:47,919
Speaker 5: teetering on the brink right now. I understand what we're

1176
00:56:47,960 --> 00:56:52,560
Speaker 5: making monetarily, but is there any part of you that

1177
00:56:52,600 --> 00:56:54,560
Speaker 5: wants to do what's best for the franchise when it

1178
00:56:54,600 --> 00:56:58,359
Speaker 5: comes to being a success on the field. And I don't.

1179
00:56:58,760 --> 00:57:01,279
Speaker 5: I just don't know that there is. And again, Brian

1180
00:57:01,360 --> 00:57:04,440
Speaker 5: Scheinheimer might end up being great, great higher right, Like

1181
00:57:04,560 --> 00:57:06,440
Speaker 5: in the end, he might turn out to win a

1182
00:57:06,440 --> 00:57:09,359
Speaker 5: bunch of games, turn everything around, you know. I mean

1183
00:57:09,680 --> 00:57:12,400
Speaker 5: people mock Dan Campbell. A lot of people didn't know

1184
00:57:12,440 --> 00:57:14,800
Speaker 5: some of the biggest names that ended up being great coaches.

1185
00:57:14,880 --> 00:57:18,080
Speaker 5: Like I understand that it's still possible, and I hate

1186
00:57:18,080 --> 00:57:20,000
Speaker 5: to dog the guy out because he hasn't done the

1187
00:57:20,120 --> 00:57:25,240
Speaker 5: job yet, but I mean, the the betting odds that

1188
00:57:25,280 --> 00:57:29,200
Speaker 5: they're going to succeed with this move have to be

1189
00:57:29,360 --> 00:57:33,640
Speaker 5: just astonishingly low. It's just it's it's it's crazy. When

1190
00:57:33,640 --> 00:57:35,440
Speaker 5: I first heard it, I was just like, Ah, that's funny,

1191
00:57:35,840 --> 00:57:39,680
Speaker 5: and then it happened. It's just like, really, I'm I am.

1192
00:57:40,360 --> 00:57:42,280
Speaker 5: I would say I'm speechless, but we've talked like twenty

1193
00:57:42,280 --> 00:57:45,520
Speaker 5: minutes about it. I still feel like everybody out there

1194
00:57:45,560 --> 00:57:47,520
Speaker 5: has the same take. If you're a Cowboys fan, feel

1195
00:57:47,520 --> 00:57:49,280
Speaker 5: free to call the show and tell us how you feel.

1196
00:57:50,480 --> 00:57:55,080
Speaker 5: Legitimately eight seven seven niney nine on Fox. That's nine

1197
00:57:55,160 --> 00:58:00,360
Speaker 5: nine six nine. What is the number again? Three six?

1198
00:58:00,400 --> 00:58:02,040
Speaker 5: And I ice to say it so often, I haven't

1199
00:58:02,040 --> 00:58:04,440
Speaker 5: said it in a long time. Ninety nine on Fox.

1200
00:58:04,480 --> 00:58:06,600
Speaker 5: Call us. If you're a Dallas fan especially, I'd like

1201
00:58:06,640 --> 00:58:08,560
Speaker 5: to hear from you. If you're super geeked about this

1202
00:58:10,280 --> 00:58:13,080
Speaker 5: son hanging by the phones guys out there, because I

1203
00:58:13,080 --> 00:58:14,880
Speaker 5: don't think that we're gonna They're probably not gonna be

1204
00:58:14,920 --> 00:58:17,120
Speaker 5: lit up on that side of the ostle. I just

1205
00:58:17,600 --> 00:58:20,280
Speaker 5: could you imagine being a Cowboys fan and this is

1206
00:58:20,320 --> 00:58:24,240
Speaker 5: the move, Like, how do you feel after something like this?

1207
00:58:24,520 --> 00:58:27,680
Speaker 5: Like and now you're about to watch two teams in

1208
00:58:27,720 --> 00:58:30,600
Speaker 5: your own division play for a chance at the super

1209
00:58:30,680 --> 00:58:32,480
Speaker 5: Bowl in less than twenty four hours.

1210
00:58:32,560 --> 00:58:33,360
Speaker 4: Well, and I know this.

1211
00:58:33,520 --> 00:58:35,120
Speaker 2: We got to put a bow on this we'll come back,

1212
00:58:35,160 --> 00:58:36,520
Speaker 2: and by the way, if you do have any thoughts,

1213
00:58:36,560 --> 00:58:38,440
Speaker 2: you feel free to call in one eight seven seven

1214
00:58:38,560 --> 00:58:40,800
Speaker 2: ninety nine on Fox because I would like to hear

1215
00:58:40,840 --> 00:58:45,040
Speaker 2: from some Cowboys fans. But my thought is that's the

1216
00:58:45,040 --> 00:58:48,200
Speaker 2: other thing, is that Philadelphia, to the point that we've

1217
00:58:48,200 --> 00:58:50,280
Speaker 2: talked about throughout this year, they're may be the best

1218
00:58:50,320 --> 00:58:53,160
Speaker 2: run franchise top to bottom. I know there's questions about Sirianni,

1219
00:58:53,160 --> 00:58:55,880
Speaker 2: but Howie Roseman's a rock star, maybe the most talented

1220
00:58:55,960 --> 00:58:58,840
Speaker 2: roster in the league, or certainly right up there Washington,

1221
00:58:59,160 --> 00:59:03,160
Speaker 2: you know, or something just catastrophic, and you know nobody's

1222
00:59:03,200 --> 00:59:05,320
Speaker 2: rooting for that. I mean, they have their franchise quarterback

1223
00:59:05,320 --> 00:59:07,360
Speaker 2: for the next fifteen years. It's like, what do the

1224
00:59:07,400 --> 00:59:11,000
Speaker 2: Cowboys have. They have a thirty whatever year old quarterback

1225
00:59:11,040 --> 00:59:14,920
Speaker 2: that can't win, getting paid astronomical money, a coach that

1226
00:59:15,080 --> 00:59:16,120
Speaker 2: nobody else would hire.

1227
00:59:16,240 --> 00:59:17,480
Speaker 4: It's nothing short of embarrassing.

1228
00:59:17,480 --> 00:59:18,680
Speaker 2: So if you want to get in one a seven

1229
00:59:18,680 --> 00:59:20,880
Speaker 2: to seven ninety nine on Fox one eight seven, seven

1230
00:59:21,280 --> 00:59:23,440
Speaker 2: nine nine, six sixty three sixty nine, give us a

1231
00:59:23,480 --> 00:59:26,960
Speaker 2: buzz and when we come back, I'll tell you what

1232
00:59:26,960 --> 00:59:28,800

1234
00:59:31,360 --> 00:59:32,600

1235
00:59:32,600 --> 00:59:34,840

Speaker 2: I saw something from the NBA that I didn't like,

1241
00:59:52,960 --> 00:59:55,080

1314
01:03:45,680 --> 01:03:50,440

1315
01:03:50,440 --> 01:03:53,200
Speaker 2: you about the Brian Schottenheimer era in Dallas?

1316
01:03:53,240 --> 01:03:53,920

01:04:00,520 --> 01:04:04,320
Speaker 2: you were a gentleman. I apologize to Grees.

1320
01:04:06,560 --> 01:04:07,080
Speaker 1: But a two?

1321
01:04:08,880 --> 01:04:10,760
Speaker 4: Okay, why is it not a one?

1322
01:04:10,840 --> 01:04:13,960
Speaker 2: No, I'm kidding in all seriousness, So, like, where are

1323
01:04:14,040 --> 01:04:18,360
Speaker 2: you at as a Cowboys fan? Because, like I thought,

1324
01:04:18,440 --> 01:04:21,480
Speaker 2: Jamar brought up the best point, it's no longer about winning.

1325
01:04:21,720 --> 01:04:24,720
Speaker 2: It's about winning on Jerry's terms, which is not winning

1326
01:04:24,880 --> 01:04:25,640
Speaker 2: at the highest level.

1327
01:04:25,680 --> 01:04:27,600
Speaker 4: Like, obviously you live in Memphis.

1328
01:04:27,680 --> 01:04:30,200
Speaker 2: Obviously I'm guessing you probably don't get to Dallas for

1329
01:04:30,240 --> 01:04:31,480
Speaker 2: a ton of games. But like, if you were a

1330
01:04:31,520 --> 01:04:35,080
Speaker 2: season ticket holder, is it an auto no renew for you?

1331

1332
01:04:36,720 --> 01:04:37,640
Speaker 2: that they're not serious.

1333

1363
01:05:57,240 --> 01:05:59,680
Speaker 4: I mean, listen, I mean, what what is there to add?

1364
01:05:59,720 --> 01:06:03,400
Speaker 4: There's it's it's what's worst.

1365
01:06:03,920 --> 01:06:06,680
Speaker 5: What's the worst thing that you can possibly be? If

1366
01:06:06,680 --> 01:06:10,200
Speaker 5: you're an entertainment product. If you're really good or you're

1367
01:06:10,240 --> 01:06:14,320
Speaker 5: really bad, you're talked about. Yep. If you are, you know,

1368
01:06:14,480 --> 01:06:17,360
Speaker 5: top of the if you're cock of the walk, then

1369
01:06:17,400 --> 01:06:21,040
Speaker 5: we're talking about you. If you're absolute dumpster fire, then

1370
01:06:21,080 --> 01:06:23,360
Speaker 5: we're talking about you, you're being talked about. It depends

1371
01:06:23,360 --> 01:06:25,840
Speaker 5: on how you feel about publicity. But you're still like

1372
01:06:26,160 --> 01:06:29,240
Speaker 5: in the news cycle. The absolute worst thing that you

1373
01:06:29,280 --> 01:06:33,520
Speaker 5: can be as an entertainment product is something that generates apathy,

1374
01:06:34,160 --> 01:06:39,720
Speaker 5: something that generates almost no interesting conversation, something that's just there.

1375
01:06:40,520 --> 01:06:43,000
Speaker 5: The last thing you want to do is just be invisible.

1376
01:06:43,480 --> 01:06:45,880
Speaker 5: And that's to me. The only thing that saves the

1377
01:06:45,920 --> 01:06:49,800
Speaker 5: Cowboys is their history and tradition. There's nothing about them

1378
01:06:49,840 --> 01:06:53,520
Speaker 5: now that you give them any visibility whatsoever. But they

1379
01:06:53,560 --> 01:06:56,800
Speaker 5: are If I was a Cowboys fan, it would be

1380
01:06:56,960 --> 01:07:02,560
Speaker 5: very difficult for me not to feel very apathetic about this, Like,

1381
01:07:02,640 --> 01:07:05,960
Speaker 5: I mean, how excited are you gonna be every Sunday?

1382
01:07:06,320 --> 01:07:08,920
Speaker 5: And to your point, like if you want to show

1383
01:07:09,160 --> 01:07:13,080
Speaker 5: the team, then en Mass Cowboys fans have to, you know,

1384
01:07:13,200 --> 01:07:15,640
Speaker 5: refuse to buy tickets. I don't think it's gonna happen.

1385
01:07:15,880 --> 01:07:18,160
Speaker 5: And I think Jerry knows that Jerry is an owner

1386
01:07:18,480 --> 01:07:22,320
Speaker 5: with Carte Blanche to just continue to be mediocre as

1387
01:07:22,320 --> 01:07:25,160
Speaker 5: a football team or even worse and just break in

1388
01:07:25,200 --> 01:07:27,280
Speaker 5: the dough because it's a Dallas Cowboys. Are gonna sell

1389
01:07:27,320 --> 01:07:29,160
Speaker 5: tons of jerseys, He's going to sell tons of merch.

1390
01:07:29,440 --> 01:07:31,160
Speaker 5: They're gonna be all over the place. They're gonna be

1391
01:07:31,160 --> 01:07:33,680
Speaker 5: talked about for more than fifty percent of the time

1392
01:07:33,760 --> 01:07:36,320
Speaker 5: during the NFL season, whether that whether they should be

1393
01:07:36,480 --> 01:07:38,800
Speaker 5: or not, on a lot of sports television programs and

1394
01:07:38,840 --> 01:07:42,040
Speaker 5: things like that. But the apathy is coming, if it's

1395
01:07:42,080 --> 01:07:45,040
Speaker 5: not already here, and this has to result. This hire

1396
01:07:46,000 --> 01:07:50,280
Speaker 5: is about as apathetic or armpit fart, if you will,

1397
01:07:50,600 --> 01:07:52,520
Speaker 5: as you could get out of a higher It's just

1398
01:07:52,600 --> 01:07:58,120
Speaker 5: kind of like, oh man, I what's what could be

1399
01:07:58,280 --> 01:07:59,440
Speaker 5: more boring than this?

1400
01:07:59,640 --> 01:08:03,200
Speaker 2: I really don't know they are going to be really bad.

1401
01:08:04,480 --> 01:08:07,440
Speaker 2: I don't think there's anything else to really add. I

1402
01:08:07,520 --> 01:08:11,080
Speaker 2: want to actually, so first of all, we'll say pee

1403
01:08:11,120 --> 01:08:12,960
Speaker 2: careful next hour because I want I want to actually

1404
01:08:12,960 --> 01:08:14,920
Speaker 2: talk to you about one NBA topic. And you talk

1405
01:08:14,960 --> 01:08:20,880
Speaker 2: about apathetic and uninteresting. The NBA apathetic, uninteresting. But I

1406
01:08:20,920 --> 01:08:23,519
Speaker 2: was thinking about this. So so today was the first day,

1407
01:08:23,840 --> 01:08:27,920
Speaker 2: uh no, first Saturday without football since August. Right, so

1408
01:08:28,240 --> 01:08:31,280
Speaker 2: a ton of ton of college football leads into NFL

1409
01:08:31,320 --> 01:08:34,760
Speaker 2: regular season games, leads into NFL playoff games, and this

1410
01:08:34,880 --> 01:08:39,720
Speaker 2: Saturday has always been, you know, a pseudo.

1411
01:08:39,360 --> 01:08:41,519
Speaker 4: Important day for the NBA. I don't want to over

1412
01:08:41,760 --> 01:08:44,080
Speaker 4: sell it, but it is. It's it's an important day.

1413
01:08:44,120 --> 01:08:45,200
Speaker 4: It's the first Saturday.

1414
01:08:45,240 --> 01:08:47,559
Speaker 2: You know, if you love football, you're looking for something

1415
01:08:47,600 --> 01:08:48,479
Speaker 2: else in front of the TV.

1416
01:08:48,560 --> 01:08:48,840
Speaker 4: Whatever.

1417
01:08:49,200 --> 01:08:50,599
Speaker 5: Hey, it happened to me. I went to the gym

1418
01:08:50,640 --> 01:08:54,280
Speaker 5: and what was showing was Spurs Pacers from Paris.

1419
01:08:54,479 --> 01:08:55,040
Speaker 4: There you go.

1420
01:08:55,479 --> 01:09:01,320
Speaker 2: So my question, my thought is this is the the NBA,

1421
01:09:01,439 --> 01:09:04,040
Speaker 2: obviously in theory takes center stage today. Who knows if

1422
01:09:04,040 --> 01:09:07,760
Speaker 2: it did or not whatever, eight pm Eastern ABC game

1423
01:09:09,200 --> 01:09:16,680
Speaker 2: Lakers and Warriors. Forty year old Lebron James versus thirty

1424
01:09:17,040 --> 01:09:19,639
Speaker 2: Let me make sure I have this right, thirty six

1425
01:09:19,800 --> 01:09:26,520
Speaker 2: year old it's gonna be thirty seven in March, Steph Curry?

1426
01:09:27,360 --> 01:09:27,880
Speaker 4: How long?

1427
01:09:28,400 --> 01:09:30,160
Speaker 2: I don't know how any other way to use it,

1428
01:09:30,200 --> 01:09:34,439
Speaker 2: but how long is the NBA gonna keep, you know,

1429
01:09:34,800 --> 01:09:39,880
Speaker 2: going to this well of Lebron versus Steph like and

1430
01:09:40,160 --> 01:09:42,080
Speaker 2: I know we gotta get to break and get back

1431
01:09:42,080 --> 01:09:43,920
Speaker 2: to Disagram. Well, I got about four or five minutes

1432
01:09:43,960 --> 01:09:46,360
Speaker 2: to talk about this, and it's probably a two hour conversation.

1433
01:09:47,560 --> 01:09:49,920
Speaker 2: The first big night of the year, by the way,

1434
01:09:49,960 --> 01:09:54,320
Speaker 2: the primetime game on Christmas Day Lebron versus Steph forty

1435
01:09:54,439 --> 01:09:58,800
Speaker 2: versus soon to be thirty seven Like NBA. It's not

1436
01:09:58,880 --> 01:10:02,880
Speaker 2: even like I'm mad, It's just what are we doing?

1437
01:10:03,280 --> 01:10:08,000
Speaker 2: You have to prioritize other players than forty year old

1438
01:10:08,120 --> 01:10:12,320
Speaker 2: Lebron James thirty seven year old Steph Curry, Jmar Take

1439
01:10:12,320 --> 01:10:14,000
Speaker 2: that where you want. But it just struck me is

1440
01:10:14,040 --> 01:10:18,160
Speaker 2: that's such an important time slot this day on the calendar,

1441
01:10:18,240 --> 01:10:20,160
Speaker 2: and you go back to the well that you've been

1442
01:10:20,200 --> 01:10:23,479
Speaker 2: going to for literally well over ten years now, whether

1443
01:10:23,520 --> 01:10:26,719
Speaker 2: it was Lebron and Cleveland, Lebron and whatever, Lebron versus

1444
01:10:26,720 --> 01:10:27,880
Speaker 2: Steph The floor is yours, Jamar.

1445
01:10:28,040 --> 01:10:29,639
Speaker 5: I mean, we've talked about this, but there's a lot

1446
01:10:29,680 --> 01:10:33,800
Speaker 5: of tremendous talent in the NBA, but the NBA wants

1447
01:10:33,800 --> 01:10:36,120
Speaker 5: to focus on three guys, the two that you just

1448
01:10:36,200 --> 01:10:39,200
Speaker 5: mentioned and Kevin Durant. That's what it's been built around

1449
01:10:39,280 --> 01:10:43,639
Speaker 5: now for basically a decade. And we can talk about

1450
01:10:43,640 --> 01:10:47,320
Speaker 5: the Lucas and Jannis and the Palo Bank Caros of

1451
01:10:47,320 --> 01:10:49,559
Speaker 5: the World and all of these names, but it's really

1452
01:10:49,600 --> 01:10:51,760
Speaker 5: still built around those three guys. And this falls at

1453
01:10:51,800 --> 01:10:54,960
Speaker 5: the feet of one guy, Adam Silver. It's his league.

1454
01:10:55,360 --> 01:10:57,680
Speaker 5: He's the one that can set up the marketing to

1455
01:10:57,720 --> 01:11:00,760
Speaker 5: build around all these young superstar that you have in

1456
01:11:00,800 --> 01:11:03,880
Speaker 5: the league, and you're just not doing it. You're giving

1457
01:11:03,960 --> 01:11:06,320
Speaker 5: us the same slot over and over again. I'm gonna

1458
01:11:06,360 --> 01:11:10,360
Speaker 5: give you one quick comparison, and it's this after Steve

1459
01:11:10,400 --> 01:11:14,479
Speaker 5: Austin got hurt in WWE and The Rock decided to

1460
01:11:14,600 --> 01:11:19,960
Speaker 5: go do movies. The WWE had relied on those guys

1461
01:11:20,000 --> 01:11:22,879
Speaker 5: to carry the show and had not developed new stars

1462
01:11:22,920 --> 01:11:26,760
Speaker 5: to replace them, so they had a major dip in

1463
01:11:26,800 --> 01:11:31,040
Speaker 5: their ratings because they didn't have anybody there to take

1464
01:11:31,080 --> 01:11:34,040
Speaker 5: that mantle. They had to then build talent and realize that.

1465
01:11:34,160 --> 01:11:36,679
Speaker 5: But you always have to be looking to the future.

1466
01:11:37,360 --> 01:11:40,479
Speaker 5: As the president is going on. You cannot continue to

1467
01:11:40,560 --> 01:11:43,320
Speaker 5: do the same thing over and over and again, especially

1468
01:11:43,360 --> 01:11:44,799
Speaker 5: when you have a lot of talent in the building,

1469
01:11:44,840 --> 01:11:48,040
Speaker 5: which I think that WWE did at the time, and

1470
01:11:48,120 --> 01:11:50,760
Speaker 5: I think that the NBA does right now. You have

1471
01:11:50,840 --> 01:11:54,200
Speaker 5: to find a way to put a marketing machine behind

1472
01:11:54,280 --> 01:11:56,000
Speaker 5: some of these young guys that are going to be

1473
01:11:56,040 --> 01:11:57,840
Speaker 5: in the league for the next fifteen to twenty years,

1474
01:11:57,880 --> 01:11:59,519
Speaker 5: who still have a ton to prove, who haven't won

1475
01:11:59,600 --> 01:12:03,200
Speaker 5: championship yet, who their journey is just beginning. There's so

1476
01:12:03,240 --> 01:12:05,760
Speaker 5: many stories that could be told in all this, But

1477
01:12:05,840 --> 01:12:08,599
Speaker 5: if you continue to do this, those guys are eventually

1478
01:12:08,600 --> 01:12:11,080
Speaker 5: going to stop playing basketball. And if you haven't marketed

1479
01:12:11,120 --> 01:12:13,840
Speaker 5: anybody else by that point, then you don't have a league.

1480
01:12:14,160 --> 01:12:18,240
Speaker 5: Then you're scrambling to make stars as opposed to using

1481
01:12:18,479 --> 01:12:21,840
Speaker 5: the Lebrons and the staffs and the Kevin Durantz and

1482
01:12:21,920 --> 01:12:23,680
Speaker 5: some of those guys that are getting a little bit

1483
01:12:23,720 --> 01:12:26,600
Speaker 5: longer in the two As good as they may be,

1484
01:12:27,240 --> 01:12:30,639
Speaker 5: you got to use them to build other guys through them.

1485
01:12:30,840 --> 01:12:33,559
Speaker 5: And that's one of the things the NBA does very poorly.

1486
01:12:34,160 --> 01:12:36,920
Speaker 5: They still say the marquee matchup is the forty versus

1487
01:12:36,960 --> 01:12:40,360
Speaker 5: thirty six as opposed to the forty against the twenty

1488
01:12:40,400 --> 01:12:44,280
Speaker 5: four or the thirty six against the twenty two or

1489
01:12:44,280 --> 01:12:48,000
Speaker 5: something like that, Like, I mean, get behind Wimby, get

1490
01:12:48,040 --> 01:12:49,760
Speaker 5: behind some of these guys that are going to be

1491
01:12:49,760 --> 01:12:51,400
Speaker 5: the future of the league, or you're not going to

1492
01:12:51,479 --> 01:12:52,759
Speaker 5: have a future in your league.

1493
01:12:53,360 --> 01:12:55,000
Speaker 4: It is insane, and.

1494
01:12:56,840 --> 01:13:00,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is insane, and I think the crazy art

1495
01:13:00,240 --> 01:13:02,160
Speaker 2: is I don't really know the wrestling analogy. I'm not

1496
01:13:02,200 --> 01:13:04,320
Speaker 2: being sarcastic, guy, I don't know the history of wrestling.

1497
01:13:04,520 --> 01:13:06,839
Speaker 2: But the crazy part is this has been an issue

1498
01:13:06,840 --> 01:13:09,439
Speaker 2: for about four or five years now, not that Lebron

1499
01:13:09,479 --> 01:13:12,800
Speaker 2: and Steph aren't great, but that you've known that they're

1500
01:13:12,840 --> 01:13:15,400
Speaker 2: on the back nine of their careers. Now they're both

1501
01:13:15,439 --> 01:13:19,799
Speaker 2: on the final hole or two, and you've never really,

1502
01:13:19,880 --> 01:13:21,040
Speaker 2: I don't want to say you haven't made it up.

1503
01:13:21,280 --> 01:13:21,559
Speaker 4: Whatever.

1504
01:13:21,720 --> 01:13:23,880
Speaker 2: The point I'm trying to make is you know, that's

1505
01:13:23,920 --> 01:13:26,920
Speaker 2: the thing. You've known this as an issue for several

1506
01:13:27,040 --> 01:13:29,400
Speaker 2: years now, and you've done little about it. Fox Sports

1527
01:14:27,240 --> 01:14:28,960

1537
01:14:54,520 --> 01:14:59,280
Speaker 6: for Ravens Bills last Sunday. Something finally topped the Cowboys

1538
01:14:59,320 --> 01:15:03,519
Speaker 6: Thanksgiving game as the largest audience of the NFL season

1539
01:15:04,000 --> 01:15:08,160
Speaker 6: A Rams Eagles by the way last weekend with about thirty.

1540
01:15:07,800 --> 01:15:09,200
Speaker 9: Eight million viewers.

1541
01:15:09,320 --> 01:15:12,280
Speaker 6: And by the way, for that college football final on Monday, Yes,

1542
01:15:12,400 --> 01:15:17,479
Speaker 6: that is the most watched game of the college football season.

1543
01:15:17,600 --> 01:15:20,679
Speaker 6: The Finals. Something finally out did the Rose Bowl, which had.

1544
01:15:20,560 --> 01:15:21,599
Speaker 9: Been number one.

1545
01:15:21,760 --> 01:15:25,040
Speaker 6: We've got on Fox TV. Sunday the NFC Championship game

1546
01:15:25,080 --> 01:15:28,280
Speaker 6: at three pm Eastern time, Washington at Philadelphia. They split

1547
01:15:28,320 --> 01:15:31,479
Speaker 6: their two regular season meetings. No snow in the forecast

1548
01:15:31,600 --> 01:15:33,599
Speaker 6: this time. How did it go when they were in

1549
01:15:33,600 --> 01:15:38,120
Speaker 6: Philadelphia in mid November? The Eagles beat Washington twenty six eighteen,

1550
01:15:38,240 --> 01:15:41,040
Speaker 6: But watching that game back again, this week they replayed

1551
01:15:41,040 --> 01:15:44,759
Speaker 6: it on NFL Network. Philadelphia's offense did nothing for three quarters.

1552
01:15:45,040 --> 01:15:47,080
Speaker 6: They were down in the third ten to three on

1553
01:15:47,160 --> 01:15:51,120
Speaker 6: this Thursday night game in November. Saquon Barkley came through

1554
01:15:51,160 --> 01:15:53,840
Speaker 6: though back to back touchdowns in the fourth, with an

1555
01:15:53,840 --> 01:15:58,200
Speaker 6: interception by his defense in between. Then the rematch before Christmas,

1556
01:15:58,240 --> 01:16:01,400
Speaker 6: Philadelphia lost at Washington Rington thirty six to thirty three

1557
01:16:01,479 --> 01:16:04,439
Speaker 6: on a touchdown pass in the final seconds by Jaden Daniels,

1558
01:16:04,479 --> 01:16:07,920
Speaker 6: who had five touchdown passes and two interceptions and on

1559
01:16:08,000 --> 01:16:11,839
Speaker 6: the ground. Daniels that game nine carries eighty one yards,

1560
01:16:12,360 --> 01:16:15,280
Speaker 6: but Barkley was still great one hundred and fifty yards

1561
01:16:15,360 --> 01:16:19,040
Speaker 6: rushing and two scores in that loss. He owns this team.

1562
01:16:19,160 --> 01:16:22,240
Speaker 6: I'd be surprised if he doesn't have another good game tomorrow.

1563
01:16:22,240 --> 01:16:24,560
Speaker 6: I'd also be surprised if the Eagles aren't going to

1564
01:16:24,600 --> 01:16:27,960
Speaker 6: the Super Bowl. Washington's run defense was among the worst

1565
01:16:28,000 --> 01:16:30,599
Speaker 6: in the league this past season. It allowed almost one

1566
01:16:30,680 --> 01:16:34,639
Speaker 6: hundred and forty yards rushing per game average and allowed

1567
01:16:34,640 --> 01:16:37,160
Speaker 6: twenty three points per game, which was worst among the

1568
01:16:37,160 --> 01:16:41,479
Speaker 6: playoff teams. This month, no rookie quarterback has ever started

1569
01:16:41,560 --> 01:16:45,320
Speaker 6: a Super Bowl. Now Washington's offense is moving this month

1570
01:16:45,360 --> 01:16:49,920
Speaker 6: in the playoff games with Jaden Daniels this postseason sixteen drives,

1571
01:16:49,960 --> 01:16:54,519
Speaker 6: they've punted just once, eleven scores, seven touchdowns plus four

1572
01:16:54,560 --> 01:16:57,439
Speaker 6: field goals, but as far as rookies at this stage

1573
01:16:57,439 --> 01:17:00,559
Speaker 6: of the postseason, zero to five in conference champion ships.

1574
01:17:00,760 --> 01:17:03,400
Speaker 6: That does include an l that goes on brock Perties

1575
01:17:03,439 --> 01:17:06,240
Speaker 6: record when he got Hurts a couple of years ago

1576
01:17:06,280 --> 01:17:09,679
Speaker 6: at Philly. Philly is home tomorrow, ten and one at

1577
01:17:09,720 --> 01:17:13,240
Speaker 6: home this year sixteen and three overall. Now in the snow,

1578
01:17:13,960 --> 01:17:17,200
Speaker 6: Jalen Hurts clearly wasn't the same for fourth quarters with

1579
01:17:17,400 --> 01:17:20,240
Speaker 6: the injury, and he was sacks seven times. The Eagles

1580
01:17:20,280 --> 01:17:23,760
Speaker 6: defense had five sacks. Philly last game did only lead

1581
01:17:23,840 --> 01:17:26,839
Speaker 6: sixteen to fifteen to start the fourth quarter, and remember

1582
01:17:26,840 --> 01:17:29,280
Speaker 6: the kicking woes. Granted it was a weather game, but

1583
01:17:29,840 --> 01:17:32,160
Speaker 6: Jake Elliott, who was three for three on field goals

1584
01:17:32,160 --> 01:17:36,240
Speaker 6: against the Rams, did miss two extra points. Philly advanced

1585
01:17:36,240 --> 01:17:40,240
Speaker 6: despite only two receptions from aj Brown. The Eagles had

1586
01:17:40,240 --> 01:17:44,400
Speaker 6: the league's top ranked defense easily this season, but linebacker

1587
01:17:44,520 --> 01:17:46,880
Speaker 6: Nakobe Dean is out for the postseason with a torn

1588
01:17:46,880 --> 01:17:50,479
Speaker 6: peteller tendon, and he missed last game. The Eagles allowed

1589
01:17:50,560 --> 01:17:53,439
Speaker 6: just eighteen points a game. They're also the number one

1590
01:17:53,520 --> 01:17:56,600
Speaker 6: rushing team in the NFC, so that's the matchup. And

1591
01:17:56,640 --> 01:17:59,360
Speaker 6: by the way, this will be the eagles fifth straight

1592
01:17:59,439 --> 01:18:02,519
Speaker 6: Sunday with a home game. They ended the regular season

1593
01:18:02,560 --> 01:18:04,880
Speaker 6: with two straight at home and now three straight in

1594
01:18:04,920 --> 01:18:07,519
Speaker 6: the playoffs. The Super Bowl will be in New Orleans,

1595
01:18:07,520 --> 01:18:11,480
Speaker 6: indoors next month, only a couple weeks off, and Philadelphia's

1596
01:18:11,520 --> 01:18:14,439
Speaker 6: last game they played outside of Philadelphia was the one

1597
01:18:14,479 --> 01:18:17,759
Speaker 6: at Washington before Christmas where they lost. It's a conference

1598
01:18:17,800 --> 01:18:20,360
Speaker 6: title game, by the way, that features two teams from

1599
01:18:20,400 --> 01:18:23,760
Speaker 6: the same division. That's happened now five times since two

1600
01:18:23,760 --> 01:18:26,519
Speaker 6: thousand and every time the winner of that type of

1601
01:18:26,920 --> 01:18:30,000
Speaker 6: conference final does go on to win the Super Bowl

1602
01:18:30,080 --> 01:18:33,120
Speaker 6: as well, such as the Rams a few short seasons

1603
01:18:33,160 --> 01:18:36,920
Speaker 6: ago beating their division rival forty nine ers in the

1604
01:18:36,920 --> 01:18:40,920
Speaker 6: conference final and then in their home stadium winning a

1605
01:18:40,960 --> 01:18:44,160
Speaker 6: Super Bowl. The AFC Championship Game is the second game

1606
01:18:44,200 --> 01:18:47,120
Speaker 6: on Sunday, Buffalo at Kansas City. The Bills did beat

1607
01:18:47,120 --> 01:18:50,040
Speaker 6: them in November. That was ian Buffalo Chiefs had been

1608
01:18:50,120 --> 01:18:52,280
Speaker 6: nine to zero at the time. This is their fourth

1609
01:18:52,320 --> 01:18:55,519
Speaker 6: playoff meeting in the last five years, Kansas City's won

1610
01:18:55,560 --> 01:18:58,960
Speaker 6: the previous three. The Chiefs are undefeated at home nine

1611
01:18:59,000 --> 01:19:02,800
Speaker 6: to zero, six in sixteen and two overall. And the

1612
01:19:02,880 --> 01:19:05,920
Speaker 6: Chiefs defense in that playoff win against the Texans last

1613
01:19:05,920 --> 01:19:10,080
Speaker 6: weekend had eight sacks, three by George Carloftis temperature was

1614
01:19:10,080 --> 01:19:12,240
Speaker 6: about twenty degrees for that game. It's going to be

1615
01:19:12,240 --> 01:19:15,360
Speaker 6: about thirty in Kansas City tomorrow. The Chiefs are into

1616
01:19:15,400 --> 01:19:18,559
Speaker 6: the AFC title game for a seventh straight year. The

1617
01:19:18,640 --> 01:19:23,200
Speaker 6: record New England eight straight years through twenty eighteen. Patrick Mahomes'

1618
01:19:23,240 --> 01:19:27,880
Speaker 6: career playoff record sixteen and three. He's won eight postseason

1619
01:19:28,000 --> 01:19:30,719
Speaker 6: games in a row. And keep in mind Kansas City

1620
01:19:30,720 --> 01:19:33,719
Speaker 6: had the best record this year despite not scoring over

1621
01:19:33,800 --> 01:19:37,240
Speaker 6: thirty points in any game this season. We saw all

1622
01:19:37,280 --> 01:19:40,000
Speaker 6: the offense from Detroit and for that matter, for Buffalo

1623
01:19:40,040 --> 01:19:43,760
Speaker 6: this season. But the Chiefs have a defense again this year,

1624
01:19:43,840 --> 01:19:47,240
Speaker 6: top five in the league. They allowed just nineteen points

1625
01:19:47,240 --> 01:19:47,719
Speaker 6: per game.

1626
01:19:48,479 --> 01:19:51,080

1635
01:20:22,000 --> 01:20:24,000
Speaker 2: till the top of the hour. Bernie Fratto of The

1636
01:20:24,040 --> 01:20:30,439
Speaker 2: Bernie Frado Show will follow us. By the way, we

1637
01:20:30,479 --> 01:20:35,120
Speaker 2: were talking last hour about the the inspiring Brian Schottenheimer,

1638
01:20:35,840 --> 01:20:38,960
Speaker 2: hire from the Dallas Cowboys, texted my nephew to see

1639
01:20:38,960 --> 01:20:41,519
Speaker 2: if he was awake. He is awake. He did not

1640
01:20:41,680 --> 01:20:44,240
Speaker 2: call in. We did get Deteresa I believe was her name,

1641
01:20:44,280 --> 01:20:46,640
Speaker 2: who gave us a great commentary. He sent me a

1642
01:20:46,640 --> 01:20:48,280
Speaker 2: long text. I won't read all of it, but it

1643
01:20:48,520 --> 01:20:52,000
Speaker 2: ends by saying, I'm not sure what the quote, I'm

1644
01:20:52,000 --> 01:20:54,559
Speaker 2: not sure what the plan is, but nothing makes sense

1645
01:20:54,600 --> 01:20:57,800
Speaker 2: anymore in Jerry's world. I don't want to even lean

1646
01:20:57,840 --> 01:21:01,439
Speaker 2: into any optimism because I know i'll get let down.

1647
01:21:02,720 --> 01:21:06,800
Speaker 2: Dallas Cowboys, Baby, how about them Cowboys? I don't even

1648
01:21:06,840 --> 01:21:09,400
Speaker 2: want to lean into optimism because I know I'll get

1649
01:21:09,479 --> 01:21:14,000
Speaker 2: let down. And I feel like that's pretty much the

1650
01:21:14,080 --> 01:21:19,160
Speaker 2: consensus for pretty much every single Cowboys fan on the

1651
01:21:19,160 --> 01:21:19,960
Speaker 2: planet right now.

1652
01:21:20,160 --> 01:21:23,360
Speaker 5: So, I mean, what is that? That's apathy? Yep. Now

1653
01:21:23,400 --> 01:21:26,840
Speaker 5: I can't even allow myself to get optimistic about this, Like,

1654
01:21:27,400 --> 01:21:31,000
Speaker 5: but he's not even like super upset either. It's just

1655
01:21:31,080 --> 01:21:36,519
Speaker 5: kind of like, yep, that's that is the worst thing

1656
01:21:37,040 --> 01:21:40,760
Speaker 5: and entertainment product can be. Is not really worthy of

1657
01:21:40,800 --> 01:21:42,080
Speaker 5: even getting up or down.

1658
01:21:41,920 --> 01:21:45,439
Speaker 2: About, especially that entertainment product. Yes, like it'd be one

1659
01:21:45,479 --> 01:21:48,320
Speaker 2: thing if it was the Tampa Bay Bucks or the

1660
01:21:48,400 --> 01:21:51,080
Speaker 2: Jacksonville Jaguars, who obviously were tied at the hip this week.

1661
01:21:51,120 --> 01:21:55,160
Speaker 2: It's another thing when it's the freaking Dallas Cowboys. And

1662
01:21:55,439 --> 01:21:57,880
Speaker 2: by the way, I know the parallels are there, and

1663
01:21:57,920 --> 01:21:59,800
Speaker 2: we're not the first ones to make the analogy. It's

1664
01:21:59,840 --> 01:22:02,880
Speaker 2: hard not to compare it to the Lakers situation. And

1665
01:22:02,880 --> 01:22:05,920
Speaker 2: it's funny because I go back to our one Sean

1666
01:22:05,960 --> 01:22:09,680
Speaker 2: Brace Fox Sports Radio Philadelphia host said, you know, it's

1667
01:22:09,720 --> 01:22:11,360
Speaker 2: the Cowboys. I mean, I don't know how people couldn't

1668
01:22:11,360 --> 01:22:13,640
Speaker 2: take that job, And it's like, that's what we were

1669
01:22:13,640 --> 01:22:16,320
Speaker 2: saying about the Lakers. And then Dan Hurley flew out

1670
01:22:16,360 --> 01:22:18,519
Speaker 2: for a free trip to La to get a new

1671
01:22:18,560 --> 01:22:23,439
Speaker 2: contract with Yukon, and it's like, I did anyone want

1672
01:22:23,439 --> 01:22:26,200
Speaker 2: that job except for JJ Reddick, who listens to JJ

1673
01:22:26,240 --> 01:22:30,120
Speaker 2: Reddicks credit, He's been fine. But he was also a

1674
01:22:30,160 --> 01:22:33,439
Speaker 2: guy who had never coached basketball at any level beyond

1675
01:22:33,479 --> 01:22:37,120
Speaker 2: the youth level, who also had a personal relationship with Lebron.

1676
01:22:37,240 --> 01:22:40,800
Speaker 2: So it's not to say that he was the worst candidate,

1677
01:22:41,479 --> 01:22:42,880
Speaker 2: and I don't even know that there was any other

1678
01:22:43,000 --> 01:22:46,679
Speaker 2: serious candidates, but it just like, that's the Los Angeles Lakers.

1679
01:22:46,760 --> 01:22:49,800
Speaker 2: They literally hired a guy that, at least in JJ

1680
01:22:49,840 --> 01:22:53,000
Speaker 2: Reddicks defense, like other people were interested in hiring him

1681
01:22:53,040 --> 01:22:56,799
Speaker 2: even with a lack of experience. The Cowboys literally hired

1682
01:22:56,840 --> 01:23:01,040
Speaker 2: a guy who nobody else would have even interviewed for

1683
01:23:01,080 --> 01:23:02,080
Speaker 2: a head coaching job.

1684
01:23:02,160 --> 01:23:04,120
Speaker 4: And that's where we're at with the Cowboys in twenty

1685
01:23:04,200 --> 01:23:04,800
Speaker 4: twenty five.

1686
01:23:06,120 --> 01:23:11,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, and that should never be. It really shouldn't.

1687
01:23:11,360 --> 01:23:14,680
Speaker 5: Like there are certain franchises that should never be irrelevant,

1688
01:23:15,880 --> 01:23:18,759
Speaker 5: at least by their play or by the decision making

1689
01:23:18,800 --> 01:23:22,479
Speaker 5: processes and things like that, And that is that's where

1690
01:23:22,479 --> 01:23:24,760
Speaker 5: we are with the Cowboys. Yes, we spend a good

1691
01:23:24,760 --> 01:23:27,080
Speaker 5: bit of time talking about them, but I can promise

1692
01:23:27,120 --> 01:23:28,640
Speaker 5: you we're not gonna be talking much about them when

1693
01:23:28,640 --> 01:23:31,400
Speaker 5: the season comes, because we're gonna be talking about teams

1694
01:23:31,439 --> 01:23:34,160
Speaker 5: that are winning football games or ones that are surprised

1695
01:23:34,200 --> 01:23:37,760
Speaker 5: dumpster fires. There's nothing that will be surprising about Dallas

1696
01:23:37,840 --> 01:23:42,919
Speaker 5: other than them becoming interesting. There's no reason to believe

1697
01:23:43,680 --> 01:23:47,000
Speaker 5: that they're gonna be worth talking about once we actually

1698
01:23:47,040 --> 01:23:50,360
Speaker 5: get to football. Now we'll see right again. Everybody may

1699
01:23:50,400 --> 01:23:52,519
Speaker 5: eat their words, and Brian Schotteimer may turn out to

1700
01:23:52,560 --> 01:23:55,400
Speaker 5: be great, but regardless of that, this is about as

1701
01:23:55,479 --> 01:23:58,840
Speaker 5: uninspired as a higher could be and about his mismanaged

1702
01:23:59,040 --> 01:24:02,760
Speaker 5: a coaching cycle in terms of your hiring practices as

1703
01:24:02,760 --> 01:24:05,800
Speaker 5: you could have had if you were Dallas. Because they're timetable,

1704
01:24:05,800 --> 01:24:08,400
Speaker 5: they're scheduling the way that Jerry laid all this out,

1705
01:24:08,560 --> 01:24:10,240
Speaker 5: It's just like, if you're going to do this, just

1706
01:24:10,320 --> 01:24:12,000
Speaker 5: keep the guy you already had in how oh, that's

1707
01:24:12,000 --> 01:24:15,240
Speaker 5: what you did. You You kept a dude that was

1708
01:24:15,280 --> 01:24:18,360
Speaker 5: already close by that no one was looking at. And

1709
01:24:18,439 --> 01:24:21,960
Speaker 5: so either you're playing four dimensional chess, I don't think,

1710
01:24:22,120 --> 01:24:26,439
Speaker 5: or this was just badly handled and botched, but you

1711
01:24:26,520 --> 01:24:28,240
Speaker 5: ended up with the guy you wanted because you have

1712
01:24:28,280 --> 01:24:31,400
Speaker 5: a dude that you can completely control, all right.

1713
01:24:31,640 --> 01:24:33,559
Speaker 4: Let's let's move on and I'll tell you what.

1714
01:24:34,000 --> 01:24:41,200
Speaker 2: We'll save nine thirty we'll start previewing the two games

1715
01:24:41,240 --> 01:24:43,639
Speaker 2: and make our official picks. I do want to talk

1716
01:24:43,640 --> 01:24:46,960
Speaker 2: about something interesting. It's certainly, oh my goodness, you talk

1717
01:24:46,960 --> 01:24:51,720
Speaker 2: about a talking point the Chiefs and the refs, and

1718
01:24:52,360 --> 01:24:55,639
Speaker 2: there are two layers to this. So one, there's what

1719
01:24:55,720 --> 01:24:57,760
Speaker 2: could happen in the AFC Championship. Can't I want to

1720
01:24:57,760 --> 01:25:00,439
Speaker 2: talk about that, but I do. I want to bring

1721
01:25:00,479 --> 01:25:03,840
Speaker 2: up an interesting story that Adam Schefter put out at

1722
01:25:03,920 --> 01:25:08,040
Speaker 2: five thirty eight Eastern time, So we're talking what about

1723
01:25:08,320 --> 01:25:11,840
Speaker 2: six six and a half hours ago. The headline sources

1724
01:25:12,240 --> 01:25:17,240
Speaker 2: NFL expected to include QB slides and expanded replay assist

1725
01:25:17,840 --> 01:25:20,320
Speaker 2: the lead of the article for all of those complaining

1726
01:25:20,320 --> 01:25:23,400
Speaker 2: that the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes gets too

1727
01:25:23,479 --> 01:25:27,519
Speaker 2: many calls relief could soon be on the way, and

1728
01:25:27,560 --> 01:25:29,880
Speaker 2: he gets into all this, but he also quotes something

1729
01:25:29,920 --> 01:25:33,120
Speaker 2: that we talked about last week, Troy Aikman, and I

1730
01:25:33,160 --> 01:25:36,479
Speaker 2: remember saying at the time, I said, what Patrick Mahomes

1731
01:25:36,520 --> 01:25:39,439
Speaker 2: has turned into me is kind of James Harden in

1732
01:25:39,479 --> 01:25:43,040
Speaker 2: the NBA at the peak of his powers, where it's like, yeah,

1733
01:25:43,160 --> 01:25:45,880
Speaker 2: we know how the rules are written, but you're kind

1734
01:25:45,920 --> 01:25:48,600
Speaker 2: of abusing the way the rules are written. And in

1735
01:25:48,640 --> 01:25:52,599
Speaker 2: Mahomes's case, it's kind of this like getting outside the pocket,

1736
01:25:53,000 --> 01:25:56,200
Speaker 2: then either dancing on the sidelines or dancing in the

1737
01:25:56,200 --> 01:25:58,960
Speaker 2: middle of the field, and then basically dropping down as

1738
01:25:58,960 --> 01:26:01,280
Speaker 2: fast as he can to try to get a late hit.

1739
01:26:02,040 --> 01:26:03,960
Speaker 4: And in the article, Adam.

1740
01:26:03,720 --> 01:26:06,840
Speaker 2: Schefter actually quoted Troy Aikman, who we quoted on the

1741
01:26:06,840 --> 01:26:11,200
Speaker 2: show last week. Troy Aikman, after a fifteen roughing the

1742
01:26:11,240 --> 01:26:13,440
Speaker 2: passer or not roughing the passer, but you know, unnecessary

1743
01:26:13,520 --> 01:26:17,160
Speaker 2: roughness penalty said quote, Oh, come on, I mean he's

1744
01:26:17,160 --> 01:26:19,439
Speaker 2: a runner and I cannot disagree with that one more.

1745
01:26:19,479 --> 01:26:23,040
Speaker 2: He barely gets hit, he said. The NFL has got

1746
01:26:23,040 --> 01:26:25,400
Speaker 2: to address it in the offseason. You can't as a

1747
01:26:25,439 --> 01:26:28,479
Speaker 2: quarterback run around and play games with the defenders and

1748
01:26:28,520 --> 01:26:31,600
Speaker 2: then get called for a penalty. So I don't know

1749
01:26:31,600 --> 01:26:34,160
Speaker 2: it's gonna have too much impact on on Sunday's game,

1750
01:26:34,200 --> 01:26:36,200
Speaker 2: and I do want to get to that element of

1751
01:26:36,240 --> 01:26:38,840
Speaker 2: it with the Chiefs here j Mart. But it's an

1752
01:26:38,880 --> 01:26:42,439
Speaker 2: interesting development in that Troy Aikman used a very loud

1753
01:26:42,479 --> 01:26:46,120
Speaker 2: microphone to discuss this. It is obviously a frustration of fans,

1754
01:26:46,439 --> 01:26:48,920
Speaker 2: and it seems like the NFL is at least considering,

1755
01:26:49,280 --> 01:26:52,559
Speaker 2: you know, essentially further monitor you know, you know, you

1756
01:26:52,600 --> 01:26:56,799
Speaker 2: can go essentially, you can go to the command center

1757
01:26:56,880 --> 01:27:00,759
Speaker 2: in New York on some of these unnecess sorry roughness

1758
01:27:00,760 --> 01:27:02,839
Speaker 2: calls that are frustrating fans for the Chiefs.

1759
01:27:04,000 --> 01:27:08,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, I penalise for playing football is a problem, and

1760
01:27:08,720 --> 01:27:13,160
Speaker 5: Mahomes has definitely exploited it, like he's he understands the

1761
01:27:13,280 --> 01:27:15,760
Speaker 5: rule and then he he kind of has a loop

1762
01:27:15,760 --> 01:27:18,559
Speaker 5: bowl where he just pushes it as far as humanly

1763
01:27:18,640 --> 01:27:21,320
Speaker 5: possible to benefit him. And I mean, it's gamesmanship, it's

1764
01:27:21,360 --> 01:27:23,479
Speaker 5: what it's what a lot of people have done. Again,

1765
01:27:23,560 --> 01:27:26,600
Speaker 5: Aaron Rodgers used to do something similar with the sidelines.

1766
01:27:26,640 --> 01:27:28,639
Speaker 5: Now he didn't do the slide thing quite the same.

1767
01:27:29,880 --> 01:27:34,040
Speaker 5: But what Mahomes is doing, I can understand why so

1768
01:27:34,080 --> 01:27:36,880
Speaker 5: many people are upset by it. The point is the

1769
01:27:36,960 --> 01:27:39,360
Speaker 5: rule needs to change. They need to figure out a

1770
01:27:39,439 --> 01:27:45,439
Speaker 5: better way so that this stops happening. However, I think

1771
01:27:45,520 --> 01:27:49,040
Speaker 5: this is going to affect the AFC Championship Game, and

1772
01:27:49,080 --> 01:27:52,000
Speaker 5: I think that's the more interesting story today. We'll see

1773
01:27:52,000 --> 01:27:54,559
Speaker 5: what they do in the offseason, if they make certain

1774
01:27:54,600 --> 01:27:58,360
Speaker 5: things reviewable where they can have something from New York

1775
01:27:58,360 --> 01:28:02,040
Speaker 5: where they can fix it, or even where look, Patrick,

1776
01:28:02,080 --> 01:28:05,040
Speaker 5: we're not giving you this call. When you're dancing down

1777
01:28:05,040 --> 01:28:09,080
Speaker 5: the sidelines. If you get absolutely destroyed, that's on you.

1778
01:28:09,120 --> 01:28:11,599
Speaker 5: Like if you get out of bounds properly, that's fine.

1779
01:28:11,600 --> 01:28:15,280
Speaker 5: But if you do this ballet tightrope act where you

1780
01:28:15,439 --> 01:28:17,719
Speaker 5: just continue to look like you're gonna stay in bounds

1781
01:28:17,720 --> 01:28:19,960
Speaker 5: and as soon as somebody begins to launch you step

1782
01:28:20,000 --> 01:28:23,240
Speaker 5: on the white, that's gonna be on you. That's gonna

1783
01:28:23,320 --> 01:28:25,360
Speaker 5: that's not gonna be that because it's very close to

1784
01:28:25,400 --> 01:28:27,280
Speaker 5: the flop. I think the hard analogy is good. You

1785
01:28:27,320 --> 01:28:28,600
Speaker 5: can make the Paul Pierce and now he did a

1786
01:28:28,640 --> 01:28:31,120
Speaker 5: lot of guys just so lean into contact where it

1787
01:28:31,160 --> 01:28:35,360
Speaker 5: was clearly them initiating the contact, but the way the

1788
01:28:35,439 --> 01:28:38,320
Speaker 5: rules written still benefited them. So I think the rule

1789
01:28:38,400 --> 01:28:42,800
Speaker 5: needs to change. But ultimately, right now today, I do

1790
01:28:43,040 --> 01:28:48,000
Speaker 5: not think that unnecessary roughness calls will be called against

1791
01:28:48,000 --> 01:28:51,759
Speaker 5: Buffalo in this game. I just don't unless there's something

1792
01:28:51,920 --> 01:28:56,879
Speaker 5: absolutely egregious. Those calls with the Texans, those are bad calls.

1793
01:28:57,280 --> 01:28:59,880
Speaker 5: A week ago, Will Anderson was right uh. To me.

1794
01:29:00,240 --> 01:29:02,240
Speaker 5: Ryan's tried to be nice about it, but he was right.

1795
01:29:03,200 --> 01:29:05,960
Speaker 5: I don't like complaining about the officiating. I don't like

1796
01:29:06,000 --> 01:29:08,639
Speaker 5: the idea that, oh, it's the Chiefs, because the Chiefs

1797
01:29:08,640 --> 01:29:12,040
Speaker 5: have become a real villain. It seems like because they've won,

1798
01:29:12,120 --> 01:29:14,759
Speaker 5: they're very much the Golden State Warriors at this point

1799
01:29:15,160 --> 01:29:17,400
Speaker 5: where some people are very tired of them. I saw

1800
01:29:17,439 --> 01:29:19,840
Speaker 5: some real ug we still said about Mahomes last week,

1801
01:29:21,280 --> 01:29:24,960
Speaker 5: and I think the Bills are overwhelmingly the fan favorite

1802
01:29:24,960 --> 01:29:28,160
Speaker 5: to win this game. But I do not think I

1803
01:29:28,200 --> 01:29:31,040
Speaker 5: think the officials are going to be very careful about

1804
01:29:31,080 --> 01:29:32,800
Speaker 5: the calls that they make in this game as it

1805
01:29:32,840 --> 01:29:36,560
Speaker 5: relates to Patrick Mahomes specifically, that I think is the

1806
01:29:37,880 --> 01:29:41,120
Speaker 5: immediate reaction to all this the Texans outcried. But also

1807
01:29:41,160 --> 01:29:43,240
Speaker 5: I just think the way that this week has played out,

1808
01:29:43,640 --> 01:29:46,320
Speaker 5: I have a feeling that Mahomes is not going to

1809
01:29:46,360 --> 01:29:48,160
Speaker 5: get the calls that he's used to getting, even if

1810
01:29:48,160 --> 01:29:51,040
Speaker 5: it's in Kansas City. It better be egregious or they're

1811
01:29:51,080 --> 01:29:52,120
Speaker 5: not going to blow the whistle.

1812
01:29:52,320 --> 01:29:53,679
Speaker 2: So I want to get back to that in half

1813
01:29:53,680 --> 01:29:57,280
Speaker 2: a second, Producer Ian has just alerted me. By the way,

1814
01:29:57,280 --> 01:29:59,400
Speaker 2: Producer Ian after his major screw up telling me we

1815
01:29:59,439 --> 01:30:01,559
Speaker 2: had a male guess when we had a female caller.

1816
01:30:01,880 --> 01:30:04,200
Speaker 2: Just kidding that actually did not happen to terse if

1817
01:30:04,200 --> 01:30:06,320
Speaker 2: you're listening, I actually threw that on of my producer

1818
01:30:06,360 --> 01:30:07,559
Speaker 2: and he actually did nothing wrong.

1819
01:30:07,960 --> 01:30:09,200
Speaker 4: Anyway, I have.

1820
01:30:09,280 --> 01:30:13,639
Speaker 5: That Brendy Spanner move of you to the producer staff.

1821
01:30:13,840 --> 01:30:16,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, that is a very I guess I've worked with

1822
01:30:16,200 --> 01:30:18,200
Speaker 2: him too long, even though I have been working with him.

1823
01:30:18,200 --> 01:30:20,200
Speaker 2: In a minute, I do want to get back to

1824
01:30:20,240 --> 01:30:22,200
Speaker 2: what could happen on Sunday because I think that's an

1825
01:30:22,240 --> 01:30:26,200
Speaker 2: interesting conversation. But apparently Tom Brady was on The Herd

1826
01:30:26,240 --> 01:30:28,479
Speaker 2: with Colin Cowherd earlier this week and just had some

1827
01:30:28,520 --> 01:30:30,840
Speaker 2: big picture commentary about Mahomes and the refs.

1828
01:30:31,040 --> 01:30:34,160
Speaker 10: When quarterbacks become running backs and they're out of the pocket,

1829
01:30:34,360 --> 01:30:37,759
Speaker 10: they should lose their protection, and we are in essence,

1830
01:30:37,760 --> 01:30:40,960
Speaker 10: we're trying to say we're trying to protect the quarterbacks,

1831
01:30:41,000 --> 01:30:44,840
Speaker 10: but coaches are calling more quarterback runs than ever.

1832
01:30:44,800 --> 01:30:45,800
Speaker 7: In the history of the game.

1833
01:30:45,880 --> 01:30:49,000
Speaker 11: So who's protecting the quarterback? If you're running with the ball,

1834
01:30:49,120 --> 01:30:51,320
Speaker 11: you should protect yourself. If you don't want to get hit,

1835
01:30:51,520 --> 01:30:53,679
Speaker 11: you can go down, you can run out of bound.

1836
01:30:53,760 --> 01:30:56,559
Speaker 11: But you can't, in essence, have the defensive player come

1837
01:30:56,600 --> 01:30:59,360
Speaker 11: in at half speed and then you run over the

1838
01:30:59,360 --> 01:31:01,559
Speaker 11: defensive player because he's afraid of getting a penalty.

1839
01:31:01,600 --> 01:31:03,760
Speaker 10: And I think it's a just a disservice to the game.

1840
01:31:04,920 --> 01:31:07,120
Speaker 4: So there you have it. I mean literally it goes

1841
01:31:07,120 --> 01:31:07,799
Speaker 4: without saying.

1842
01:31:07,840 --> 01:31:11,360
Speaker 2: But the biggest you know, the lead play by the

1843
01:31:12,120 --> 01:31:15,200
Speaker 2: lead color commentator on both Fox Sports with Tom Brady

1844
01:31:16,200 --> 01:31:21,320
Speaker 2: with with you Know, ESPN, ABC, Troy Aikman, two of

1845
01:31:21,360 --> 01:31:23,200
Speaker 2: the greatest to ever do it seemed to be in

1846
01:31:23,280 --> 01:31:26,280
Speaker 2: agreement with it, and I do agree. Is I think

1847
01:31:26,320 --> 01:31:30,799
Speaker 2: there's a fine line between protecting quarterbacks and being overly protective.

1848
01:31:30,800 --> 01:31:32,559
Speaker 2: And I think to the point that he made, to

1849
01:31:32,560 --> 01:31:36,160
Speaker 2: the point that Troy Aikman made on the broadcast, you know,

1850
01:31:36,400 --> 01:31:39,160
Speaker 2: once you're out of the pocket, you are a runner

1851
01:31:40,160 --> 01:31:42,840
Speaker 2: and nobody else is protected in the manner that quarterbacks are.

1852
01:31:42,880 --> 01:31:45,080
Speaker 2: And again listen, and by the way, really quick because

1853
01:31:45,160 --> 01:31:49,280
Speaker 2: I want to get to Sunday, is that I don't

1854
01:31:49,280 --> 01:31:53,880
Speaker 2: blame Patrick Mahomes for manipulating the rules in his favor. Again,

1855
01:31:53,920 --> 01:31:56,000
Speaker 2: it's no different than James Harden. It's no different than

1856
01:31:56,000 --> 01:31:58,439
Speaker 2: the point you made Paul Pierce and other guys in

1857
01:31:58,479 --> 01:32:01,719
Speaker 2: the end, whoever it is, you know, the other football whatever,

1858
01:32:01,760 --> 01:32:04,920
Speaker 2: it doesn't matter. I don't blame him for manipulating the rules,

1859
01:32:05,280 --> 01:32:07,880
Speaker 2: but it is a little bit obnoxious and it does

1860
01:32:07,920 --> 01:32:10,559
Speaker 2: feel like the Chiefs do get a lot of those

1861
01:32:10,600 --> 01:32:12,400
Speaker 2: always seem to go in their favor at the worst,

1862
01:32:12,439 --> 01:32:14,599
Speaker 2: at the best possible times for them, the worst possible

1863
01:32:14,600 --> 01:32:16,640
Speaker 2: time for their opponent. But to put a bow on

1864
01:32:16,680 --> 01:32:18,040
Speaker 2: this conversation, I want to bring it back to what

1865
01:32:18,080 --> 01:32:20,320
Speaker 2: you said, Jmart, because I actually happen to agree with you.

1866
01:32:20,439 --> 01:32:24,800
Speaker 4: Is listen, is it right? Is it wrong? I don't know.

1867
01:32:25,520 --> 01:32:29,320
Speaker 2: What I do know is this has become such a

1868
01:32:29,360 --> 01:32:32,639
Speaker 2: big talking point and you can't argue that it didn't

1869
01:32:32,680 --> 01:32:37,360
Speaker 2: impact the Chiefs Texans game because two unnecessary roughness penalties

1870
01:32:37,760 --> 01:32:41,000
Speaker 2: late in drives led directly to ten points for the

1871
01:32:41,080 --> 01:32:44,400
Speaker 2: Chiefs want to touchdown, won a field goal. They end

1872
01:32:44,479 --> 01:32:47,519
Speaker 2: up beating the Texans by nine points. And listen, I'm

1873
01:32:47,520 --> 01:32:50,080
Speaker 2: not saying if those calls don't get made, the Texans win,

1874
01:32:50,600 --> 01:32:52,840
Speaker 2: But what I am saying is it led directly to

1875
01:32:52,920 --> 01:32:55,759
Speaker 2: ten points for them, and so it has become such

1876
01:32:55,800 --> 01:32:59,080
Speaker 2: a big conversation there's going to be so many people

1877
01:32:59,120 --> 01:32:59,960
Speaker 2: watching this game.

1878
01:33:00,240 --> 01:33:00,880
Speaker 4: And the one thing.

1879
01:33:00,800 --> 01:33:04,600
Speaker 2: About the NFL is they don't want and I think understandably.

1880
01:33:04,720 --> 01:33:07,479
Speaker 2: I'm not to understand it's obvious, but they don't want

1881
01:33:07,680 --> 01:33:11,760
Speaker 2: the perception that, you know, favoritism exists. And I think

1882
01:33:11,800 --> 01:33:14,360
Speaker 2: there's the you know, the fan side of it, there's

1883
01:33:14,400 --> 01:33:16,760
Speaker 2: the gambling side of it. We know how much the

1884
01:33:17,520 --> 01:33:20,720
Speaker 2: sports books and everybody are paying the league as sponsors,

1885
01:33:20,760 --> 01:33:24,040
Speaker 2: and you can't have fans and gamblers feel like the

1886
01:33:24,320 --> 01:33:27,200
Speaker 2: results are being manipulated. But I also think it has

1887
01:33:27,240 --> 01:33:28,840
Speaker 2: nothing to do with that, and it has a lot

1888
01:33:28,880 --> 01:33:31,599
Speaker 2: more to do with just the fact that this has

1889
01:33:31,640 --> 01:33:34,920
Speaker 2: been a talking point. There are clearly thirty one other

1890
01:33:35,040 --> 01:33:37,800
Speaker 2: fan bases that are frustrated by this, and I'm with

1891
01:33:37,920 --> 01:33:40,519
Speaker 2: you as I think, unless it is egregious, I actually

1892
01:33:40,520 --> 01:33:43,560
Speaker 2: expect what you said a minute ago, for the referees

1893
01:33:43,600 --> 01:33:46,120
Speaker 2: to largely swallow their whistles out anything that could be

1894
01:33:46,160 --> 01:33:48,360
Speaker 2: deemed fifty to fifty Yep.

1895
01:33:48,600 --> 01:33:51,160
Speaker 5: I mean, I think that's all right. I just I

1896
01:33:51,160 --> 01:33:54,080
Speaker 5: don't know if it's been like an internal conversation within

1897
01:33:54,160 --> 01:33:57,280
Speaker 5: the officials in the league this week or the head officiating.

1898
01:33:57,640 --> 01:33:59,360
Speaker 5: I don't know if it's come down from the front

1899
01:33:59,400 --> 01:34:03,880
Speaker 5: office of the NFL or Goodell himself, But this being

1900
01:34:03,920 --> 01:34:07,320
Speaker 5: a talking point, this being the subject of so much commentaries,

1901
01:34:07,400 --> 01:34:09,519
Speaker 5: so many articles, and all this stuff during the course

1902
01:34:09,560 --> 01:34:12,920
Speaker 5: of the week, they are going to be incredibly cautious

1903
01:34:13,200 --> 01:34:18,640
Speaker 5: and careful about whistles that benefit particularly Patrick Mahomes in

1904
01:34:18,720 --> 01:34:22,559
Speaker 5: this football game. We could be wrong, but I don't

1905
01:34:22,560 --> 01:34:25,360
Speaker 5: think we are. I think that they are absolutely aware

1906
01:34:25,400 --> 01:34:27,400
Speaker 5: of this, and they do not want this to be

1907
01:34:27,479 --> 01:34:30,120
Speaker 5: the story of this game after it is over. So

1908
01:34:30,200 --> 01:34:32,439
Speaker 5: I think they may go in the opposite direction, and

1909
01:34:32,520 --> 01:34:36,000
Speaker 5: this thing may actually be called rather loosely in terms

1910
01:34:36,000 --> 01:34:38,320
Speaker 5: of what they permit and what they allow, And there

1911
01:34:38,320 --> 01:34:40,479
Speaker 5: could even be a scenario where the call would be

1912
01:34:40,560 --> 01:34:42,720
Speaker 5: okay on Mahomes and they might not make it. I

1913
01:34:42,800 --> 01:34:45,640
Speaker 5: just I think they are going to be They're going

1914
01:34:45,720 --> 01:34:49,040
Speaker 5: to be walking on proverbial eggshells as it relates to

1915
01:34:49,720 --> 01:34:54,760
Speaker 5: not letting whistles benefiting Patrick Mahomes and his kind of

1916
01:34:54,840 --> 01:34:59,280
Speaker 5: manipulating of rules dictate how this game is decided, or

1917
01:34:59,320 --> 01:35:01,160
Speaker 5: certainly how it's talked about afterwards.

1918
01:35:01,560 --> 01:35:04,360
Speaker 2: It is the oldest cliche in the book, but this

1919
01:35:04,400 --> 01:35:07,439
Speaker 2: will be the second most watched NFL, you know, second

1920
01:35:07,520 --> 01:35:11,200
Speaker 2: most watch maybe event of twenty twenty five. And I

1921
01:35:11,240 --> 01:35:13,800
Speaker 2: don't think any ref wants people to feel like they

1922
01:35:13,840 --> 01:35:16,240
Speaker 2: are the reason that one team won.

1923
01:35:16,160 --> 01:35:17,920
Speaker 4: And obviously in this case, it would be the chiefs.

1924
01:35:18,080 --> 01:35:20,880
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio ertors Jason Martin, we are broadcasting live

Speaker 2: Show will follow us. Cannot wait to hear what Bernie

01:35:46,600 --> 01:35:51,720
Speaker 2: has to say about the two games tomorrow or Sunday.

1934
01:35:51,320 --> 01:35:52,120
Speaker 4: Depending on where you are.

1935
01:35:52,160 --> 01:35:55,280
Speaker 2: It might not be tomorrow as well as we gotta

1936
01:35:55,280 --> 01:35:57,360
Speaker 2: talk maybe before the end of the show about the

1937
01:35:57,439 --> 01:36:00,280
Speaker 2: conference champion the college football playoff as well. And he's

1938
01:36:00,320 --> 01:36:03,200
Speaker 2: got ties to the Midwest, Burns got ties to Vegas.

1939
01:36:03,240 --> 01:36:06,000
Speaker 2: So yeah, Burn's got ties to every story going on.

1940
01:36:06,040 --> 01:36:07,559
Speaker 2: So I can't wait to hear him he is at

1941
01:36:07,600 --> 01:36:11,639
Speaker 2: the top of the hour following us. But we still

1942
01:36:11,680 --> 01:36:18,240
Speaker 2: got thirty five minutes and fifty forty six seconds to go.

1943
01:36:18,920 --> 01:36:21,400
Speaker 2: So with that said, Mary, give us a little music,

1944
01:36:21,400 --> 01:36:23,840
Speaker 2: put us in the mood. I want to preview these

1945
01:36:23,880 --> 01:36:24,479
Speaker 2: two games.

1946
01:36:25,840 --> 01:36:29,920
Speaker 4: Music music. Oh there it is, jmar. Let's start with

1947
01:36:29,960 --> 01:36:31,719
Speaker 4: the early one.

1948
01:36:31,960 --> 01:36:37,960
Speaker 2: It is the early game Philadelphia against the Washington Commanders.

1949
01:36:38,520 --> 01:36:40,400
Speaker 4: Philadelphia Eagles, of course.

1950
01:36:40,160 --> 01:36:44,200
Speaker 2: Were the number two seed the NFC East champ split

1951
01:36:44,280 --> 01:36:47,800
Speaker 2: with the Commanders during the regular season. The second game.

1952
01:36:47,880 --> 01:36:51,200
Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts was hurt in that game with the concussion.

1953
01:36:51,640 --> 01:36:54,479
Speaker 2: He's obviously since come back. The issue, of course, there

1954
01:36:55,520 --> 01:36:57,240
Speaker 2: is that while he came back, he now has a

1955
01:36:57,320 --> 01:37:00,160
Speaker 2: knee injury. With that said, Philadelphia is still a six

1956
01:37:00,200 --> 01:37:03,120
Speaker 2: and a half point home favorite, the over under set

1957
01:37:03,160 --> 01:37:04,519
Speaker 2: at forty seven and a half.

1958
01:37:05,000 --> 01:37:06,840
Speaker 4: The floor is yours. How do you see this one going?

1959
01:37:07,680 --> 01:37:11,959
Speaker 5: Man? I mean the heart pick here feels like Washington.

1960
01:37:12,080 --> 01:37:15,120
Speaker 5: With what Jaden Daniels did last week and what Washington's

1961
01:37:15,160 --> 01:37:16,960
Speaker 5: offense was able to do and how they were able

1962
01:37:17,000 --> 01:37:21,599
Speaker 5: to put Detroit on their heels in a raucous situation.

1963
01:37:21,720 --> 01:37:25,720
Speaker 5: This is gonna be another raucous situation. In Philadelphia, and

1964
01:37:26,200 --> 01:37:28,160
Speaker 5: I would actually, I think i'd be more interested in

1965
01:37:28,200 --> 01:37:31,280
Speaker 5: seeing Washington go to the Super Bowl this year. I'd

1966
01:37:31,400 --> 01:37:34,920
Speaker 5: like to see Jayden as a rookie, you know, make

1967
01:37:35,040 --> 01:37:37,760
Speaker 5: history and do that and have this run and all

1968
01:37:37,760 --> 01:37:43,440
Speaker 5: this kind of stuff. But the head pick is still Philadelphia.

1969
01:37:44,200 --> 01:37:46,640
Speaker 5: I still don't think Washington's defense is gonna be able

1970
01:37:46,680 --> 01:37:50,439
Speaker 5: to corroud Sakuon Barkley for four quarters. Even if they

1971
01:37:50,479 --> 01:37:52,720
Speaker 5: do kind of what we saw last week with the

1972
01:37:52,800 --> 01:37:55,120
Speaker 5: Rams defense, Taquan will rip off a couple of runs

1973
01:37:55,160 --> 01:37:57,640
Speaker 5: and still end up near two hundred yards by the

1974
01:37:57,720 --> 01:38:00,639
Speaker 5: end of it, as long as he's healthy. Hurts situation

1975
01:38:00,840 --> 01:38:02,920
Speaker 5: bothers me a bit, but for some reason, I think

1976
01:38:02,960 --> 01:38:04,599
Speaker 5: they'll be able to throw the ball a little bit

1977
01:38:04,640 --> 01:38:08,040
Speaker 5: more in this game. AJ's not going to be that

1978
01:38:08,520 --> 01:38:12,720
Speaker 5: kind of not important to the offense as he was

1979
01:38:12,760 --> 01:38:17,120
Speaker 5: a week ago. I still feel better about the Eagles

1980
01:38:17,439 --> 01:38:20,720
Speaker 5: right now. I'd like to pick Washington again. I think

1981
01:38:20,800 --> 01:38:24,200
Speaker 5: that's the more fun story, but I just can't get there.

1982
01:38:24,640 --> 01:38:27,880
Speaker 5: I just can't. I think that they're already playing with

1983
01:38:27,960 --> 01:38:31,280
Speaker 5: house money at this point. But this Philadelphia team is

1984
01:38:31,640 --> 01:38:34,080
Speaker 5: battle tested, and I think that defense is gonna make

1985
01:38:34,120 --> 01:38:37,360
Speaker 5: it a really tough day on Jayden Daniels if he

1986
01:38:37,400 --> 01:38:40,080
Speaker 5: doesn't have one of those games that we'll be talking

1987
01:38:40,120 --> 01:38:42,720
Speaker 5: about for the remainder of our lives. I do not

1988
01:38:42,840 --> 01:38:45,719
Speaker 5: think they can win this game. So I'll take Philadelphia.

1989
01:38:45,800 --> 01:38:49,080
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna take Philadelphia as well. And my thought

1990
01:38:49,120 --> 01:38:52,080
Speaker 2: process is pretty simple. Like you said, Jaydon Daniels is

1991
01:38:52,080 --> 01:38:55,240
Speaker 2: a sentimental Everybody likes him. He's new, he's fun, he's

1992
01:38:55,280 --> 01:38:58,759
Speaker 2: an awesome, awesome, awesome player. And as I always say,

1993
01:38:58,840 --> 01:39:00,960
Speaker 2: when you're picking against him, doesn't mean that you hate

1994
01:39:00,960 --> 01:39:03,080
Speaker 2: the player, you hate the team, or you hate whatever.

1995
01:39:03,840 --> 01:39:05,960
Speaker 2: But I guess what concerns me about this game is

1996
01:39:05,960 --> 01:39:07,559
Speaker 2: a couple things. First of all, we can go back

1997
01:39:07,600 --> 01:39:11,120
Speaker 2: to that game against Detroit last week. I don't want

1998
01:39:11,160 --> 01:39:13,640
Speaker 2: to undersell what Washington did going into Ford Field and

1999
01:39:13,640 --> 01:39:16,599
Speaker 2: getting the victory, but you go back and look at it,

2000
01:39:16,640 --> 01:39:18,840
Speaker 2: and it's been discussed and over discussed over the last

2001
01:39:18,880 --> 01:39:21,800
Speaker 2: couple of days. But you know, I mean, let's also

2002
01:39:21,840 --> 01:39:25,080
Speaker 2: be honest here, Washington won the turnover battle for nothing.

2003
01:39:25,160 --> 01:39:29,200
Speaker 2: In other words, Detroit had four turnovers, Washington had zero.

2004
01:39:29,800 --> 01:39:33,080
Speaker 2: Find that hard to be sustainable. Jared Goff obviously picked

2005
01:39:33,080 --> 01:39:35,240
Speaker 2: a bad time to play the worst game of his career.

2006
01:39:35,720 --> 01:39:37,920
Speaker 4: Didn't love Jamison Williams.

2007
01:39:37,400 --> 01:39:40,759
Speaker 2: Throwing the ball when you're down whatever, ten, twelve points,

2008
01:39:40,800 --> 01:39:43,519
Speaker 2: whatever it was, and you were still very much in

2009
01:39:43,600 --> 01:39:45,960
Speaker 2: the game. And I think the other thing too, j

2010
01:39:46,120 --> 01:39:50,280
Speaker 2: mart Is, I was thinking about this as well, is listen,

2011
01:39:50,360 --> 01:39:52,320
Speaker 2: I don't want to do like.

2012
01:39:52,320 --> 01:39:54,520
Speaker 4: The oh can you slow down Jayden Daniels.

2013
01:39:54,840 --> 01:39:57,280
Speaker 2: But at the same time, I do think it's interesting

2014
01:39:57,320 --> 01:40:02,280
Speaker 2: like historically, the teams that have given Lamar Jackson the

2015
01:40:02,280 --> 01:40:04,840
Speaker 2: biggest fits are the division teams, the teams that have

2016
01:40:04,960 --> 01:40:07,880
Speaker 2: seen him before and you know, to a degree, know

2017
01:40:07,920 --> 01:40:10,559
Speaker 2: how to game plan. And so when I look at

2018
01:40:10,560 --> 01:40:14,959
Speaker 2: this game, I do think having seen Jaye and Daniels twice,

2019
01:40:15,560 --> 01:40:17,720
Speaker 2: I think it helps. I think the fact that the

2020
01:40:17,760 --> 01:40:22,160
Speaker 2: secondary is great helps, you know in the passing game.

2021
01:40:22,760 --> 01:40:23,640
Speaker 4: And so I'm with you.

2022
01:40:24,200 --> 01:40:27,160
Speaker 2: I do have the Philadelphia Eagles winning and going to

2023
01:40:27,200 --> 01:40:30,840
Speaker 2: the second to their second Super Bowl in three years,

2024
01:40:30,840 --> 01:40:32,679
Speaker 2: because I just think it's not that it's a bad

2025
01:40:32,760 --> 01:40:35,360
Speaker 2: matchup for Washington as much as it is just a

2026
01:40:35,439 --> 01:40:38,160
Speaker 2: familiar matchup with Washington. I think the defense for Philly

2027
01:40:38,160 --> 01:40:40,639
Speaker 2: steps up anything else. Before we get to the Sager

2028
01:40:40,960 --> 01:40:42,240
Speaker 2: and then preview the second game.

2029
01:40:42,840 --> 01:40:42,920
Speaker 7: Now.

2030
01:40:42,960 --> 01:40:45,599
Speaker 5: I mean, I think the biggest biggest issue for Jayden

2031
01:40:45,720 --> 01:40:48,680
Speaker 5: Daniels is who outside of Terry McLaurin is gonna be

2032
01:40:48,720 --> 01:40:52,160
Speaker 5: able to get free against that secondary? And I just

2033
01:40:52,200 --> 01:40:54,040
Speaker 5: don't know that I have an answer to that, Like,

2034
01:40:54,439 --> 01:40:56,400
Speaker 5: is it gonna be a Johan Dotson, Is it going

2035
01:40:56,479 --> 01:40:59,320
Speaker 5: to be you know, the tight end, is Art's gonna

2036
01:40:59,320 --> 01:41:02,439
Speaker 5: get lose or something like that. But mclaurin's really the

2037
01:41:02,479 --> 01:41:06,880
Speaker 5: only guy that scares me on their offense for Jayden Daniels,

2038
01:41:07,240 --> 01:41:09,120
Speaker 5: and I just think they're gonna find a way to

2039
01:41:09,320 --> 01:41:12,880
Speaker 5: just make him uncomfortable enough that he's gonna have to

2040
01:41:12,880 --> 01:41:15,000
Speaker 5: do too much with his legs. And I just think

2041
01:41:15,040 --> 01:41:17,799
Speaker 5: their defense is strong enough in the secondary to stop

2042
01:41:17,880 --> 01:41:22,080
Speaker 5: him from getting those big chunk games. I hope it's close.

2043
01:41:22,560 --> 01:41:24,840
Speaker 5: I kind of have this sense that Philadelphia may may

2044
01:41:24,880 --> 01:41:27,000
Speaker 5: win that thing by double digits. But we'll see.

2045
01:41:27,640 --> 01:41:32,280
Speaker 2: We will indeed see Philadelphia Washington the early game on Sunday,

2046
01:41:33,160 --> 01:41:35,200
Speaker 2: three pm Eastern noon Pacific.

2047
01:41:35,560 --> 01:41:37,640
Speaker 4: Tell you what, Jamar will come back when we do.

2048
01:41:38,320 --> 01:41:40,720
Speaker 2: You already know we got to talk about the second one,

2049
01:41:40,760 --> 01:41:44,479
Speaker 2: the big one, Buffalo versus KSE will do all that

2050
01:41:44,520 --> 01:41:46,840
Speaker 2: in just one moment. Before we do, though, let's toss

2051
01:41:46,880 --> 01:41:49,080
Speaker 2: it over the news desk final time this evening, Steve Disager,

2052
01:41:49,120 --> 01:41:49,880
Speaker 2: what is trending?

2053
01:41:50,040 --> 01:41:52,760
Speaker 6: You know, if the Bills don't win tomorrow, they will

2054
01:41:52,760 --> 01:41:55,920
Speaker 6: finish the season fifteen and five. That is ten and

2055
01:41:56,000 --> 01:41:58,719
Speaker 6: zero at home, five and five on the road. Wow,

2056
01:41:58,760 --> 01:42:01,599
Speaker 6: if they don't win at case case, if they take

2057
01:42:01,640 --> 01:42:05,080
Speaker 6: that tomorrow, would go ten and oh at home, and

2058
01:42:05,120 --> 01:42:08,040
Speaker 6: it would push their overall record to seventeen and two.

2059
01:42:08,520 --> 01:42:12,200
Speaker 6: By the way, Philadelphia is currently nine and one ian

2060
01:42:12,320 --> 01:42:15,160
Speaker 6: Philly technically ten and one at home because remember they

2061
01:42:15,240 --> 01:42:19,040
Speaker 6: opened the Brazil game, which was for them a home game,

2062
01:42:19,280 --> 01:42:22,960
Speaker 6: beating Green Bay. The actual home opener they had the

2063
01:42:23,000 --> 01:42:27,719
Speaker 6: next week was a loss against Atlanta, So not since

2064
01:42:27,800 --> 01:42:31,400
Speaker 6: mid September have the Eagles lost a game in Philadelphia.

2065
01:42:31,880 --> 01:42:34,559
Speaker 6: That's the first of the two games tomorrow Sunday, three

2066
01:42:34,600 --> 01:42:37,600
Speaker 6: pm Eastern Time on Fox TV Washington at Philly for

2067
01:42:37,640 --> 01:42:41,240
Speaker 6: the NFC Championship. The late game Buffalo at Kansas City

2068
01:42:41,280 --> 01:42:44,840
Speaker 6: for the AFC title. Josh Allen is famously oh to

2069
01:42:44,880 --> 01:42:48,640
Speaker 6: three against the Chiefs in the playoffs, the only quarterback

2070
01:42:48,680 --> 01:42:51,240
Speaker 6: to ever go oh to four against a single opponent

2071
01:42:51,439 --> 01:42:56,280
Speaker 6: in postseason Aaron Rodgers, who kept losing to San Francisco. Conversely,

2072
01:42:56,439 --> 01:42:58,880
Speaker 6: Patrick Mahomes has a chance to go four and oh

2073
01:42:58,960 --> 01:43:02,040
Speaker 6: against the Bills in postseason. There are quarterbacks who have

2074
01:43:02,200 --> 01:43:05,880
Speaker 6: beaten one opponent four times in their playoff careers. Tom

2075
01:43:05,920 --> 01:43:08,799
Speaker 6: Brady went four and one against the Colts, Brett Favre

2076
01:43:08,880 --> 01:43:12,120
Speaker 6: went four and one against San Francisco in playoff games.

2077
01:43:12,240 --> 01:43:14,519
Speaker 6: And by the way, the NFL team opponents for next

2078
01:43:14,520 --> 01:43:17,080
Speaker 6: season are known, even though we won't get the exact

2079
01:43:17,080 --> 01:43:20,080
Speaker 6: schedule until about May, but we know that if you

2080
01:43:20,160 --> 01:43:22,479
Speaker 6: have season tickets for Buffalo next year, and I think

2081
01:43:22,520 --> 01:43:24,639
Speaker 6: it's going to be their last year in that old stadium.

2082
01:43:24,720 --> 01:43:30,240
Speaker 6: Next year, the Bills will host Kansas City, Philadelphia, Baltimore,

2083
01:43:30,640 --> 01:43:33,599
Speaker 6: and Tampa Bay and as far as Kansas City's home

2084
01:43:33,640 --> 01:43:38,400
Speaker 6: schedule that will include a visit from Detroit, Philadelphia, Baltimore,

2085
01:43:38,520 --> 01:43:41,720
Speaker 6: and Washington at Kansas City as well. By the way,

2086
01:43:41,800 --> 01:43:45,639
Speaker 6: Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady will stay in Buffalo after

2087
01:43:45,760 --> 01:43:49,719

2090
01:43:56,120 --> 01:44:00,000

2091
01:44:00,240 --> 01:44:03,559
Speaker 6: The Raiders formally announced Pete Carroll as their new head coach.

2092

2093
01:44:08,320 --> 01:44:11,040
Speaker 6: fifty three fifty one, even though each team shot thirty

2094
01:44:11,040 --> 01:44:13,960
Speaker 6: one percent from the floor. Wins in the top ten

2095

Speaker 6: Gators are ranked fifth at Florida, I should say, beating

2097
01:44:20,400 --> 01:44:24,000
Speaker 6: Georgia for a twelfth straight time. Gators are ranked fifth.

2098

Speaker 9: So you're on before Arnee Sunday night.

2164
01:47:24,960 --> 01:47:27,120
Speaker 2: I am on before Arnie. So, like I said, it

2165
01:47:27,200 --> 01:47:31,960
Speaker 2: must be the residual knowing I'm gonna be tossing to.

2166
01:47:32,040 --> 01:47:33,599
Speaker 5: Arnie the open for the main event.

2167
01:47:34,360 --> 01:47:36,439
Speaker 4: Wow, according to Arnie, I don't know. I don't know

2168
01:47:36,439 --> 01:47:37,200
Speaker 4: about anybody else.

2169
01:47:37,240 --> 01:47:39,599
Speaker 9: That's why you are just blasting co workers tonight.

2170
01:47:39,680 --> 01:47:41,600
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, yeah, I guess so.

2171
01:47:41,720 --> 01:47:41,920
Speaker 7: Yeah.

2172
01:47:41,960 --> 01:47:42,600
Speaker 4: By the way, is.

2173
01:47:42,600 --> 01:47:45,280
Speaker 5: Airing to just for everything needs to be uniform from

2174
01:47:45,360 --> 01:47:48,360
Speaker 5: day to day on Fox Sports Radio, So on Sunday evenings,

2175
01:47:48,840 --> 01:47:52,200
Speaker 5: the staff kind of gets tomatoes thrown in their face

2176
01:47:52,680 --> 01:47:55,240
Speaker 5: and so you have to step in. So you've prepared yourself. Well,

2177
01:47:55,280 --> 01:47:56,639
Speaker 5: you practiced yourself well.

2178
01:47:56,479 --> 01:47:57,400
Speaker 4: In defensive Arnie.

2179
01:47:57,840 --> 01:48:00,680
Speaker 2: It was actually Sunday on the East Coast when I

2180
01:48:00,680 --> 01:48:03,120
Speaker 2: threw producer in completely under the bus for no reason.

2181
01:48:03,240 --> 01:48:06,080
Speaker 2: So must have it's residual, it's rubbing off. By the way,

2182
01:48:06,120 --> 01:48:08,639
Speaker 2: Arizona Wildcats got to win today, so congrats to them.

2183
01:48:08,680 --> 01:48:10,840
Speaker 9: Maybeat Colorado because Arnie was not on the air.

2184
01:48:10,920 --> 01:48:11,280
Speaker 4: That's why.

2185
01:48:11,360 --> 01:48:13,360
Speaker 2: That's why every time I think of Arnie, I think

2186
01:48:13,400 --> 01:48:17,160
Speaker 2: of the Arizona Wildcats only losing lost. I know, well,

2187
01:48:17,200 --> 01:48:19,320
Speaker 2: listen there, without a lottery pick, we don't need to

2188
01:48:19,880 --> 01:48:20,360
Speaker 2: we don't need.

2189
01:48:20,280 --> 01:48:20,680
Speaker 4: To freak out.

2190
01:48:20,760 --> 01:48:24,200
Speaker 5: You're not the three peats. Probably not going to happen.

2191
01:48:24,360 --> 01:48:26,040
Speaker 4: Three peats probably not gonna happen.

2192
01:48:27,800 --> 01:48:30,120
Speaker 9: Well, maybe not winning by double digits everywhere.

2193
01:48:30,280 --> 01:48:33,080
Speaker 5: They do have the best bleeping coach in college basketball.

2194
01:48:33,600 --> 01:48:34,400
Speaker 9: Just to ask him.

2195
01:48:34,600 --> 01:48:39,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, listen. All I'll say is I did not love that. Uh,

2196
01:48:39,280 --> 01:48:43,400
Speaker 2: but I will add that if you listen to the

2197
01:48:43,400 --> 01:48:46,680
Speaker 2: post game, he brought up some valid points. Yes, and

2198
01:48:46,720 --> 01:48:48,920
Speaker 2: like the crazy part was he was like, look, I

2199
01:48:48,960 --> 01:48:51,760
Speaker 2: was telling somebody this and disager you'll appreciate this. I

2200
01:48:51,800 --> 01:48:54,599
Speaker 2: was talking to Brandon U in the back and then

2201
01:48:54,640 --> 01:48:56,439
Speaker 2: we do have to you know, actually preview the bills

2202
01:48:56,600 --> 01:49:00,920
Speaker 2: in casey, but we were talking about Mick Crow versus

2203
01:49:01,360 --> 01:49:03,559
Speaker 2: Dan Hurley, and I said, the thing about Dan.

2204
01:49:03,479 --> 01:49:05,280
Speaker 9: Hurley, that's some explosive sidelines.

2205
01:49:05,320 --> 01:49:08,519
Speaker 2: Well, I said the thing about Dan Hurley, like you

2206
01:49:08,560 --> 01:49:10,680
Speaker 2: can disagree with everything he does on the sidelines.

2207
01:49:10,720 --> 01:49:12,640
Speaker 4: I'm a Yukon guy. Of course I'm gonna defend him.

2208
01:49:12,960 --> 01:49:15,240
Speaker 2: But if you listen to his post games, he's always

2209
01:49:15,320 --> 01:49:17,920
Speaker 2: complimentary of the other teams, the other coaches, the the

2210
01:49:18,040 --> 01:49:19,840
Speaker 2: and he was a complimentary of the officials. He said, look,

2211
01:49:19,880 --> 01:49:22,720
Speaker 2: we have great officials. And then he also said, like,

2212
01:49:23,080 --> 01:49:25,639
Speaker 2: the only thing that I'm really embarrassed about is yes,

2213
01:49:25,720 --> 01:49:27,400
Speaker 2: I said it, and it's an insult to the other

2214
01:49:27,400 --> 01:49:28,519
Speaker 2: great coaches in this sport.

2215
01:49:28,560 --> 01:49:32,120
Speaker 4: Tom is O. Bill Selfie named a bunch Mick Cronin.

2216
01:49:33,120 --> 01:49:35,040
Speaker 2: He's not only a bully during the game, which I

2217
01:49:35,040 --> 01:49:37,960
Speaker 2: actually don't care about, but then he's a whiner after

2218
01:49:38,080 --> 01:49:40,559
Speaker 2: the game too, just goes in and oh, the big

2219
01:49:40,600 --> 01:49:41,799
Speaker 2: ten's doing this.

2220
01:49:41,800 --> 01:49:43,599
Speaker 9: And uh, you know, getting Nicoll.

2221
01:49:43,800 --> 01:49:47,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, and yeah, we're not getting soft yeah Rtie, and.

2222
01:49:47,400 --> 01:49:49,479
Speaker 9: He's yeah, so UCLA coach.

2223
01:49:49,600 --> 01:49:50,880
Speaker 4: Yes, this is the UCLA coach.

2224
01:49:50,880 --> 01:49:53,280
Speaker 2: Because Brandon Deutsch, who's of course a USC fan, brought

2225
01:49:53,360 --> 01:49:56,120
Speaker 2: up Mick Cronin earlier today and I said, listen, I'm

2226
01:49:56,120 --> 01:49:59,040
Speaker 2: not condoning some of the stuff Hurley did on the sidelines,

2227
01:49:59,080 --> 01:50:01,240
Speaker 2: but I will say after the games, if you listen

2228
01:50:01,280 --> 01:50:04,200
Speaker 2: to his press conferences, he actually is very complimentary and

2229
01:50:04,400 --> 01:50:05,799
Speaker 2: you know whatever.

2230
01:50:05,800 --> 01:50:06,559
Speaker 4: But to make the.

2231
01:50:06,560 --> 01:50:09,120
Speaker 6: Comment which the sentence that we just brought up, he

2232
01:50:09,160 --> 01:50:11,559
Speaker 6: could say it. He just yells at a ref, I'm

2233
01:50:11,600 --> 01:50:14,439
Speaker 6: the best coach in college. That's a big time. That

2234
01:50:14,600 --> 01:50:19,400
Speaker 6: is genuine. That is clearly the comment of somebody who

2235
01:50:19,439 --> 01:50:22,120
Speaker 6: probably should have taken an NBA job so he could

2236
01:50:22,160 --> 01:50:24,479
Speaker 6: get smacked around a little bit and not be in

2237
01:50:24,520 --> 01:50:25,360
Speaker 6: his own silos.

2238
01:50:25,560 --> 01:50:28,600
Speaker 2: I loved I saw this this week was the Lakers.

2239
01:50:29,280 --> 01:50:31,880
Speaker 2: It was Adam Zagori, who covers college hoops, and Adam

2240
01:50:31,880 --> 01:50:33,759
Speaker 2: does a great job, so it's not a criticism of Adam,

2241
01:50:34,000 --> 01:50:37,720
Speaker 2: but he put out some report of the Lakers are

2242
01:50:37,800 --> 01:50:40,400
Speaker 2: happy they didn't end up with Dan Hurley because they

2243
01:50:40,560 --> 01:50:43,080
Speaker 2: don't think that he could have handled whatever. You know,

2244
01:50:43,520 --> 01:50:45,880
Speaker 2: And I'm like, you knew what you were getting into

2245
01:50:45,920 --> 01:50:47,960
Speaker 2: when you interviewed him. And again, we don't have to

2246
01:50:47,960 --> 01:50:49,800
Speaker 2: re litigate all this, but I think it was pretty

2247
01:50:49,880 --> 01:50:51,439
Speaker 2: much a sham interview from both sides.

2248
01:50:51,479 --> 01:50:54,799
Speaker 4: They knew they wanted Reddick, he wanted his extension. Whatever.

2249
01:50:54,920 --> 01:50:55,679
Speaker 4: Tell you what Jamar.

2250
01:50:55,880 --> 01:50:58,519
Speaker 6: One thing about the Bills before you talk Bills case

2251
01:50:58,760 --> 01:51:02,559
Speaker 6: this hour going into tomorrow. The Bills have gone twenty

2252
01:51:02,600 --> 01:51:06,120
Speaker 6: one straight games without losing the turnover battle. That's tied

2253
01:51:06,120 --> 01:51:08,519
Speaker 6: for the longest streak in the history of the NFL.

2254
01:51:08,640 --> 01:51:11,160
Speaker 6: And this was the team that had easily the best

2255
01:51:11,200 --> 01:51:15,280
Speaker 6: turnover margin in the entire NFL. So that to me

2256
01:51:15,439 --> 01:51:16,840
Speaker 6: is a key to winning a road game.

2257
01:51:16,920 --> 01:51:19,400
Speaker 4: And you said, Josh Allen is trying to avoid being

2258
01:51:19,439 --> 01:51:21,599
Speaker 4: the only the second quarterback ever to go zh to

2259
01:51:21,600 --> 01:51:22,680
Speaker 4: four against.

2260
01:51:22,400 --> 01:51:24,839
Speaker 9: Rogers too against one in the playoffs.

2261
01:51:24,840 --> 01:51:26,840
Speaker 5: That sounds like a kicker curse you just placed on

2262
01:51:26,880 --> 01:51:27,679
Speaker 5: the Bills. Steve.

2263
01:51:28,960 --> 01:51:32,160
Speaker 9: I'm just saying they're only you know, so there's only

2264
01:51:32,160 --> 01:51:34,400
Speaker 9: so much margin for victory. Let's put it that way.

2265
01:51:34,880 --> 01:51:37,639
Speaker 6: What helps is that Kansas City has kept one game

2266
01:51:37,680 --> 01:51:39,200
Speaker 6: after another close this year.

2267
01:51:39,080 --> 01:51:41,400
Speaker 4: And you can't beat yourself when you're playing Casey.

2268
01:51:41,600 --> 01:51:43,800
Speaker 6: Well, you remember they lost the game last year, didn't

2269
01:51:43,840 --> 01:51:46,240
Speaker 6: send it to overtime with a field goal miss in

2270
01:51:46,280 --> 01:51:48,599
Speaker 6: the final minutes, standing by I got.

2271
01:51:48,760 --> 01:51:50,479
Speaker 4: I got a lot of thoughts on last year. I

2272
01:51:50,560 --> 01:51:52,160
Speaker 4: got a lot of thoughts on this game. We'll come back.

2273
01:51:52,200 --> 01:51:55,639
Speaker 2: We will wrap the show with our official chiefs, Bills Pick,

2274
01:51:56,320 --> 01:51:58,360
Speaker 2: and also talk about everything else that happened in the

2275
01:51:58,360 --> 01:51:59,160
Speaker 2: world of sports this week.

2276
01:51:59,200 --> 01:52:01,000
Speaker 4: I haven't even talked to State notre to day. Maybe

2277
01:52:01,000 --> 01:52:02,479
Speaker 4: we'd try to sneak that in as well.

2278
01:52:03,080 --> 01:52:08,599
Speaker 2: This is Fox Sports Tree, Welcome back everybody, Fox Sports Radio.

2279
01:52:10,560 --> 01:52:11,720
Speaker 4: Who's Hot? Who's not?

2280
01:52:12,360 --> 01:52:14,760
Speaker 2: This was my jam back in the day, Mary Mac,

2281
01:52:16,360 --> 01:52:18,400
Speaker 2: when your parents were and when you were just a

2282
01:52:20,040 --> 01:52:23,760
Speaker 2: glint in your parents' eye. Torres had the old cassette

2283
01:52:23,800 --> 01:52:25,600
Speaker 2: and I'd just played back again.

2284
01:52:25,320 --> 01:52:26,120
Speaker 4: And again and again.

2285
01:52:26,240 --> 01:52:27,599
Speaker 12: I have memories of this song.

2286
01:52:28,320 --> 01:52:31,120
Speaker 2: Nobody more problems, right, Yeah, came out in like what

2287
01:52:31,160 --> 01:52:32,880
Speaker 2: two thousand and three. I feel I was.

2288
01:52:32,840 --> 01:52:35,280
Speaker 12: Born two thousand and three. Okay, And I was listening

2289
01:52:35,280 --> 01:52:40,759
Speaker 12: to it in two thousand and five, okay, yeah, and crib.

2290
01:52:40,920 --> 01:52:42,559
Speaker 12: I all I remember is this song would play at

2291
01:52:42,640 --> 01:52:44,000
Speaker 12: night when I'm going on the way home.

2292
01:52:44,200 --> 01:52:45,040
Speaker 4: That's all I remember.

2293
01:52:45,200 --> 01:52:49,240
Speaker 2: The literal crib, not the figurative clip crib. All right,

2294
01:52:49,840 --> 01:52:52,360
Speaker 2: I swear on my life. So I have a little

2295
01:52:52,360 --> 01:52:56,160
Speaker 2: bit of an obsessive uh personality.

2296
01:52:57,000 --> 01:52:59,200
Speaker 4: And I used to have the single.

2297
01:52:59,240 --> 01:53:01,760
Speaker 2: They used to have these same called CDs, and they

2298
01:53:01,760 --> 01:53:06,480
Speaker 2: would make singles and I would just blast this NonStop.

2299
01:53:06,520 --> 01:53:10,000
Speaker 5: It wasn't the only still buy CDs. Really.

2300
01:53:10,080 --> 01:53:10,519
Speaker 1: I have that.

2301
01:53:12,840 --> 01:53:15,360
Speaker 4: On vinyl, and then I also have a bunch of CDs.

2302
01:53:15,640 --> 01:53:15,840
Speaker 7: Yeah.

2303
01:53:15,880 --> 01:53:18,320
Speaker 5: I still buy a few vinyls. And there's a few

2304
01:53:18,360 --> 01:53:22,200
Speaker 5: bands that when they put stuff out, I buy the

2305
01:53:22,240 --> 01:53:27,080
Speaker 5: hard copy just that goes. Look, I'm forty six, but

2306
01:53:27,240 --> 01:53:29,639
Speaker 5: I still like some physical media, not nearly as much,

2307
01:53:29,760 --> 01:53:32,200
Speaker 5: like just mainly because I don't like the space that

2308
01:53:32,280 --> 01:53:35,320
Speaker 5: it takes up. But there's still there's something about a

2309
01:53:35,360 --> 01:53:36,760
Speaker 5: CD that I haven't gotten over.

2310
01:53:38,000 --> 01:53:39,840
Speaker 4: Well, this was my jam back in the day.

2311
01:53:39,840 --> 01:53:42,840
Speaker 2: I mean, I after the show Mary Mac, I'll sing

2312
01:53:42,840 --> 01:53:45,080
Speaker 2: the whole song beginning to end, but we gotta get yeah.

2313
01:53:45,000 --> 01:53:46,240
Speaker 5: Man, I'm glad I'm in Nashville.

2314
01:53:46,240 --> 01:53:47,760
Speaker 9: I won't be able to hear that shame.

2315
01:53:48,040 --> 01:53:49,840
Speaker 2: We'll make sure we stream you in, but I'll tell

2316
01:53:49,880 --> 01:53:53,040
Speaker 2: you how's your leg? My leg's fine, my foot's a

2317
01:53:53,080 --> 01:53:56,120
Speaker 2: little cold. I mean, I was worried about amputation earlier

2318
01:53:56,200 --> 01:53:57,519
Speaker 2: in the show, but I think we're going to survive.

2319
01:53:57,560 --> 01:53:59,880
Speaker 2: For people who missed it, Torres stepped in a major

2320
01:54:00,080 --> 01:54:04,400
Speaker 2: huddle between hour one and hour two. This is essentially

2321
01:54:04,400 --> 01:54:06,360
Speaker 2: as J Mart said, my MJ flu game. But at

2322
01:54:06,439 --> 01:54:09,960
Speaker 2: least I'm not a Cowboys fan. So let's wrap the show.

2323
01:54:10,160 --> 01:54:13,160
Speaker 2: One game, one segment left, one game that we have

2324
01:54:13,280 --> 01:54:15,839
Speaker 2: yet to We've discussed it, we haven't given our official

2325
01:54:15,840 --> 01:54:20,439
Speaker 2: pick yet. It is the game everybody's intrigued by Buffalo Bills.

2326
01:54:20,479 --> 01:54:22,640
Speaker 2: At Kansas City Chiefs case, he is a one and

2327
01:54:22,640 --> 01:54:26,439
Speaker 2: a half point favorite. At Arrowhead. We know the history.

2328
01:54:26,560 --> 01:54:28,400
Speaker 2: J Mart, you don't need any more setup for me.

2329
01:54:28,479 --> 01:54:30,280
Speaker 2: Who you got winning, how you got it going down?

2330
01:54:31,360 --> 01:54:35,120
Speaker 5: Bill's rosters better. Josh Allen's played better football this year

2331
01:54:35,120 --> 01:54:39,000
Speaker 5: than Patrick Mahomes has. I like the running game and

2332
01:54:39,040 --> 01:54:42,520
Speaker 5: the offensive line better right now for the Buffalo Bills,

2333
01:54:42,840 --> 01:54:44,880
Speaker 5: I think the defenses rounding in the form. They have

2334
01:54:44,920 --> 01:54:47,720
Speaker 5: some guys that have won Super Bowls. There. I think

2335
01:54:47,760 --> 01:54:50,160
Speaker 5: that they've got everything you want. Joe Brady is really

2336
01:54:51,000 --> 01:54:54,280
Speaker 5: really maximizing josh Allen but also keeping him safe. And

2337
01:54:54,360 --> 01:54:57,600
Speaker 5: Josh Allen's matured and he's ready to win this football game.

2338
01:54:58,280 --> 01:55:01,120
Speaker 5: He you know, the mistakes and the way that Steve

2339
01:55:01,160 --> 01:55:03,600
Speaker 5: even told us the turnover battle. Twenty one games in

2340
01:55:03,600 --> 01:55:07,040
Speaker 5: a row, Buffalo has won the turnover battle, which is

2341
01:55:07,160 --> 01:55:11,160
Speaker 5: unheard of. That's just insane in terms of their efficiency

2342
01:55:11,680 --> 01:55:13,920
Speaker 5: and how careful they've been with the football. They're doing

2343
01:55:13,960 --> 01:55:17,080
Speaker 5: absolutely everything right. And I got to Kansas City Chiefs

2344
01:55:17,080 --> 01:55:20,520
Speaker 5: going back to the Super Bowl, and it's because I'm

2345
01:55:20,560 --> 01:55:22,160
Speaker 5: just not going to be dumb enough to pick against

2346
01:55:22,160 --> 01:55:26,360
Speaker 5: Patrick Mahomes in any AFC Championship game. I said this last year, said,

2347
01:55:26,400 --> 01:55:28,400
Speaker 5: you just won't catch me do it again. Yeah, I

2348
01:55:28,480 --> 01:55:31,200
Speaker 5: might be wrong. I think the bill should win the game.

2349
01:55:31,240 --> 01:55:32,920
Speaker 5: I just don't think they're going to win the game.

2350
01:55:33,320 --> 01:55:35,880
Speaker 5: I can't describe how it's going to happen. But I

2351
01:55:35,920 --> 01:55:38,160
Speaker 5: know what Patrick Mahomes does in moments like this. I

2352
01:55:38,160 --> 01:55:40,760
Speaker 5: know what Travis Kelcey does in moments like this. I

2353
01:55:40,800 --> 01:55:43,120
Speaker 5: know maybe more importantly than all of that, I know

2354
01:55:43,160 --> 01:55:46,280
Speaker 5: what Chris Jones does in games like this. I know

2355
01:55:46,320 --> 01:55:48,880
Speaker 5: what Carloftus can do in games like this. I know

2356
01:55:48,960 --> 01:55:51,560
Speaker 5: what Andy Reid and Steve Spagnola can do in games

2357
01:55:51,600 --> 01:55:54,920
Speaker 5: like this. And I have not seen that from Sean McDermott,

2358
01:55:55,000 --> 01:55:56,280
Speaker 5: not in this moment.

2359
01:55:56,520 --> 01:55:59,200
Speaker 4: You still you just stole my punchline because.

2360
01:55:59,000 --> 01:56:00,760
Speaker 5: I'm just going to stop it right there and tell

2361
01:56:00,800 --> 01:56:05,680
Speaker 5: you I've still got the Chiefs because until they get

2362
01:56:05,720 --> 01:56:10,160
Speaker 5: beat I just I've been you just can't count them out.

2363
01:56:10,240 --> 01:56:12,000
Speaker 5: And so I've got the Chiefs and the Eagles in

2364
01:56:12,040 --> 01:56:14,360
Speaker 5: a rematch of the Super Bowl from two years ago.

2365
01:56:14,680 --> 01:56:16,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, the punchline I was going to use.

2366
01:56:16,680 --> 01:56:18,920
Speaker 2: You talked about all the people that you trust for case,

2367
01:56:19,200 --> 01:56:23,840
Speaker 2: ranging from Patrick Mahomes, Andy Reied, Travis Kelsey, everybody, Chris Jones,

2368
01:56:23,840 --> 01:56:26,200
Speaker 2: on and on. The one person in this building that

2369
01:56:26,240 --> 01:56:28,080
Speaker 2: I don't trust to Sean McDermott. And I said it

2370
01:56:28,120 --> 01:56:29,880
Speaker 2: to lead the show. If you missed the show, by

2371
01:56:29,920 --> 01:56:31,919
Speaker 2: the way, make sure to go back and download the podcast,

2372
01:56:31,920 --> 01:56:34,480
Speaker 2: which is available as soon as we get off air.

2373
01:56:35,040 --> 01:56:37,400
Speaker 2: You could search it anywhere that you find podcasts. Just

2374
01:56:37,440 --> 01:56:40,200
Speaker 2: search Fox Sports Radio weekends and you can find the

2375
01:56:40,200 --> 01:56:43,200
Speaker 2: podcast there and we open the show with this jmart

2376
01:56:44,520 --> 01:56:47,400
Speaker 2: Is that I don't trust Sean McDermott.

2377
01:56:47,440 --> 01:56:49,240
Speaker 4: I didn't love the game playing last week.

2378
01:56:49,280 --> 01:56:51,480
Speaker 2: I know you weren't as worried about it as I was,

2379
01:56:51,560 --> 01:56:54,360
Speaker 2: but felt like they were trying to prove something more physical.

2380
01:56:54,400 --> 01:56:54,840
Speaker 4: We're tough.

2381
01:56:54,920 --> 01:56:57,880
Speaker 2: I know the weather wasn't great, but it didn't stop

2382
01:56:57,960 --> 01:57:00,120
Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson from throwing the ball all over the field.

2383
01:57:00,440 --> 01:57:03,000
Speaker 2: And I think if Mark Andrews doesn't have those two

2384
01:57:03,200 --> 01:57:05,920
Speaker 2: crucial screw ups in the fourth quarter, I hate to

2385
01:57:05,920 --> 01:57:07,839
Speaker 2: say it. I know Mark Andrews didn't do it on purpose,

2386
01:57:07,880 --> 01:57:10,920
Speaker 2: but the turnover followed by the drop two point conversion,

2387
01:57:11,200 --> 01:57:12,800
Speaker 2: I think it's the Baltimore Ravens that are going to

2388
01:57:12,920 --> 01:57:15,280
Speaker 2: Arrowhead this week and so and by the way, that's

2389
01:57:15,280 --> 01:57:17,320
Speaker 2: not a knock on Josh Allan. He did what he

2390
01:57:17,480 --> 01:57:21,520
Speaker 2: was asked to do. I worry about the person doing

2391
01:57:21,560 --> 01:57:24,520
Speaker 2: the asking and I worry about this team.

2392
01:57:24,760 --> 01:57:25,880
Speaker 4: They're on the road.

2393
01:57:26,440 --> 01:57:30,320
Speaker 2: History is against them, and you know they have the

2394
01:57:30,360 --> 01:57:33,800
Speaker 2: single greatest weapon left in this playoffs, and I don't know,

2395
01:57:33,880 --> 01:57:35,760
Speaker 2: based on what we saw last week that they know

2396
01:57:36,160 --> 01:57:38,360
Speaker 2: they have the single greatest weapon left in the playoffs

2397
01:57:38,360 --> 01:57:38,879
Speaker 2: this weekend.

2398
01:57:38,960 --> 01:57:40,400
Speaker 4: So listen.

2399
01:57:41,600 --> 01:57:44,760
Speaker 2: It goes without saying everybody who's not a Chiefs fan

2400
01:57:44,880 --> 01:57:45,839
Speaker 2: is rooting for the Bills.

2401
01:57:47,240 --> 01:57:49,200
Speaker 4: But I just I don't like what I saw from

2402
01:57:49,240 --> 01:57:50,240
Speaker 4: the Bills. I know they won.

2403
01:57:50,360 --> 01:57:51,720
Speaker 2: I know they beat Baltimore. I know that was the

2404
01:57:51,720 --> 01:57:54,120
Speaker 2: most anticipated game that we've had in the playoffs in

2405
01:57:54,160 --> 01:57:55,640
Speaker 2: the divisional round in sometime.

2406
01:57:56,120 --> 01:57:58,040
Speaker 4: But I just worry about what I saw from them.

2407
01:57:58,080 --> 01:58:00,600
Speaker 2: And for that reason, I have the Chiefs on Sunday

2408
01:58:00,600 --> 01:58:02,200
Speaker 2: at Arrowhead to go back to the super Bowl.

2409
01:58:02,240 --> 01:58:05,560
Speaker 5: Like you said, so the record, I think NFL TV

2410
01:58:05,680 --> 01:58:09,200
Speaker 5: records like fifty five million somewhere in that neighborhood. Do

2411
01:58:09,240 --> 01:58:12,240
Speaker 5: you think this game is gonna beat it? Uh?

2412
01:58:12,760 --> 01:58:15,240
Speaker 4: Pro Yeah, I think it's it's in the conversation.

2413
01:58:16,520 --> 01:58:17,440
Speaker 5: What did to say?

2414
01:58:17,480 --> 01:58:19,440
Speaker 4: Do we remember what de Seger said was the Ravens

2415
01:58:19,440 --> 01:58:21,040
Speaker 4: Bills rating last week?

2416
01:58:21,120 --> 01:58:23,080
Speaker 5: It was in the forties, wasn't ith?

2417
01:58:23,160 --> 01:58:23,360
Speaker 7: Yeah?

2418
01:58:23,360 --> 01:58:24,560
Speaker 4: I think it was pretty I think I.

2419
01:58:24,520 --> 01:58:26,520
Speaker 5: Think it was in the forties. I can't remember exactly.

2420
01:58:27,320 --> 01:58:28,680
Speaker 4: I mean I would have to imagine.

2421
01:58:28,680 --> 01:58:31,280
Speaker 2: I mean it's not only case, it's the team that

2422
01:58:31,360 --> 01:58:33,240
Speaker 2: has had the most success with them, at least in

2423
01:58:33,280 --> 01:58:36,440
Speaker 2: the regular season the number the guy that's I still

2424
01:58:36,440 --> 01:58:37,440
Speaker 2: think gonn win the MVP.

2425
01:58:39,280 --> 01:58:40,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's in play.

2426
01:58:40,760 --> 01:58:42,880
Speaker 2: I think it's in play that whatever the record is

2427
01:58:42,880 --> 01:58:45,240
Speaker 2: for the Divisional round, that this game comes pretty close

2428
01:58:45,240 --> 01:58:47,600
Speaker 2: to breaking it, if not breaking it. I believe Chiefs

2429
01:58:47,640 --> 01:58:50,000
Speaker 2: Patriots a few years ago might actually have that record.

2430
01:58:50,280 --> 01:58:52,200
Speaker 4: But I think a lot of people are gonna watch

2431
01:58:52,280 --> 01:58:52,640
Speaker 4: watch this.

2432
01:58:52,720 --> 01:58:56,839
Speaker 5: Fifty five point four to seven million is the record

2433
01:58:56,960 --> 01:59:00,240
Speaker 5: for the most watched AFC Championship game in history, and

2434
01:59:00,280 --> 01:59:02,120
Speaker 5: that was last year's Chiefs Ravens game.

2435
01:59:02,480 --> 01:59:03,800
Speaker 4: How much was it?

2436
01:59:03,920 --> 01:59:05,720
Speaker 5: Fifty five point four to seven million?

2437
01:59:05,920 --> 01:59:09,360
Speaker 4: Wow? Well, I think that'll absolutely be in play on Sunday.

2438
01:59:09,400 --> 01:59:10,160
Speaker 4: But we gotta get out of here.

2439
01:59:10,160 --> 01:59:11,960
Speaker 2: I want to thank the crew, Mary Mack on the board,
