Now, 11 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:42,480 Speaker 1: the Vikings obviously are not playing because they sucked this year. 12 00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:43,519 Speaker 3: They're not playing, but they did. 13 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:45,960 Speaker 1: Make some headlines I thought was interesting over the weekend, 14 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,440 Speaker 1: and since I have editorial control, to me, this was 15 00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:49,320 Speaker 1: the most interesting thing. 16 00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:49,479 Speaker 2: Now. 17 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,640 Speaker 1: I did an emergency Mallard monologue on the Fifth Hour 18 00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:55,600 Speaker 1: podcast Saturday episode, which I know you heard because you're 19 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 1: a real fan. You're not a fraud, you're not a phony, right, 20 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 1: You're a real person, so you paid attention. You're a 21 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 1: fan of what we do, so I know you heard 22 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,680 Speaker 1: the Fifth Hour emergency Mallor monologue on the Vikings. However, 23 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 1: there's been some new information that has come out, and 24 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 1: if you missed it over the week at a shakeup 25 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 1: in the Twin Cities. There As over the weekend we 26 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:18,200 Speaker 1: learned that the Vikings had said bye bye the quezy 27 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 1: Adolpha mensa, the GM and the. 28 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:23,440 Speaker 3: Logic behind it. 29 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:27,920 Speaker 1: The reports claiming that he was using Pro Football Focus 30 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 1: better known by their gangster named PFF, to evaluate and 31 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,680 Speaker 1: select players for the draft. So essentially he was just 32 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,480 Speaker 1: using a nerd website to decide who the Vikings should pick. 33 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,399 Speaker 1: That's the report there. 34 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, and what would. 35 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,760 Speaker 1: Have been fine if they had given him good advice, 36 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 1: but he had historically bad picks in the NFL draft 37 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 1: for four seasons, zero hits in four years as the 38 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 1: GM of the Vikings, and so that was it. 39 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:00,160 Speaker 3: He also got rich. 40 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 1: Hipped for taking the two full weeks of maternity leave, 41 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 1: among other things. 42 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 3: Yea, it's one of those things that well, you're. 43 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 1: You're giving it, but if you really love your job 44 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,399 Speaker 1: and you want to work, you shouldn't take the full 45 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 1: two weeks. He took the full two weeks, so he's 46 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,639 Speaker 1: getting slammed for that, and so that is a good 47 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 1: jumping off point. Let us discuss the question. 48 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 3: Who leaked? Who do you think leaked this story? 49 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 1: Because it's one thing you changed the GM find that happens, 50 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,919 Speaker 1: but who leaked the story? At the former Viking GM 51 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 1: quasi Adolpha Mensa was using a NERD website to draft players, 52 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 1: and that that was one of the things that led 53 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 1: to his demise in Minnesota. 54 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 3: So I've got my take on this. 55 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 1: I've got kling On Morton's Kosher salt and recycling, and 56 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,520 Speaker 1: we will combine all of these things together and we 57 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 1: are going to make a juicy, lucy delicious Get that burger, 58 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:56,800 Speaker 1: but the cheese right in the middle there, Yum yum 59 00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 1: to my tump tump. 60 00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:58,639 Speaker 2: So a. 61 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 1: It's clear that the move made by the Vikings was 62 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 1: the first in a chain reaction, right that was the beginning. 63 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: The Vikings said, Okay, we're gonna randomly get rid of 64 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,639 Speaker 1: the general manager a month after the regular season ending. 65 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 1: But somebody's out for blood, and it would indicate based 66 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,520 Speaker 1: the indication is it's more than one person. It's more 67 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 1: than one person that this was not just information that 68 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 1: was tossed out. This was a hit. Had an astragrind 69 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,639 Speaker 1: somebody had an astraground here. Now, we always ask two 70 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 1: questions in situations like this. The first question is who benefits? 71 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 1: And the second question is why leak? 72 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 3: Now? 73 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 1: Who benefits? And why leak now? Well, and don't tell 74 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 1: me it was quazy. The GM here that he leaked it. 75 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 1: He looks like a guy who got pushed off a pier, 76 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 1: and he was wearing concrete sneakers. They didn't have the. 77 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 3: Swoosh on them, if you know what I mean. 78 00:03:55,520 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 1: Here, for four years, no success in the NFL draft none, 79 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 1: mostly Ham and Eggers. The Vikings were drafting, and that's 80 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 1: who they were getting in. And now we find out, 81 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 1: if this report is accurate, that he was drafting off 82 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 1: essentially spreadsheets. The Vikings were using the algorithm. It was 83 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 1: kind of like you would shop for airplane tickets. It says, 84 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:25,040 Speaker 1: what's the proper time to shop for the cheapest airfare 85 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 1: to buy a ticket to go to Charleston, South Carolina. 86 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 3: Okay, so let me see here. 87 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,159 Speaker 1: Well, you're supposed to buy it on a Tuesday afternoon, 88 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 1: but you have to buy it afternoon, but you have 89 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 1: to buy it before four o'clock. And if you buy 90 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 1: it at the perfect time, which probably two twenty five, 91 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:41,799 Speaker 1: you can save a couple bucks. 92 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,359 Speaker 3: So that's that. And this, of course is after the fact, 93 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:46,039 Speaker 3: reporting a right. 94 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 1: Nobody said any of this prior to the Vikings getting 95 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 1: rid of the GM. Then all of a sudden, all 96 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:52,720 Speaker 1: these things pop up. 97 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,600 Speaker 3: Here. It's easy to take some shots. 98 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:59,359 Speaker 1: And the guys already floating down the river, face down 99 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,719 Speaker 1: in the the body of water there, I guess, in 100 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 1: this case the lake land of ten thousand Lakes. So 101 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 1: every team from what instand, every team has used the 102 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 1: nerds at Pro Football Focus now to say that that's 103 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:17,479 Speaker 1: the only thing that you're doing right, that's crazy. And 104 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:21,040 Speaker 1: this is being leaked like its contraband that the Vikings 105 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 1: GM former GM was using. And so that tells you 106 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:28,360 Speaker 1: it's personal. It's personal, and the leak is a message, 107 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,239 Speaker 1: and it's the words of the great LeVar Ball. Stay 108 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:36,839 Speaker 1: in your light, stay in your lane, nerd, what's wrong 109 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 1: with you? And it would appear, based on a minute 110 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 1: long investigation and deliberationally available evidence that Adolpha Mensa was 111 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:51,159 Speaker 1: an interloper and was never welcomed to the cool kids 112 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 1: club he was. He didn't have the NFL scouting bloodlines right, 113 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 1: He wasn't a second or third j generation NFL person, 114 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 1: No dirt from no mud under his fingernails from playing football, 115 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 1: and also the perception is that he didn't truly pay 116 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 1: his dues. He played basketball at Princeton. Princeton, that's not 117 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:21,600 Speaker 1: a football guy. Worked on Wall Street and then he 118 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:25,280 Speaker 1: was an analytical person in the NFL. That was his 119 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 1: job there, walking into NFL locker rooms essentially speaking klingon 120 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,920 Speaker 1: when he went in there. And so who leaked it, Well, 121 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:36,480 Speaker 1: it's the old guard, the football lifers. 122 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:37,919 Speaker 3: They're the ones. 123 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 1: More likely than not, the guy's annoyed that this guy 124 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 1: came in here and he was not part of their 125 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 1: ecosystem and an outsider, and he ended up running an 126 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:50,360 Speaker 1: NFL team. 127 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,359 Speaker 3: So it's over the weekend. It was a dog pile, 128 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 3: is what it was. 129 00:06:55,240 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 1: And the twenty twenty five Vikings the ship not be sinking. 130 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 1: The ship sank. And it's not like you blame the iceberg. No, no, no, 131 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 1: you blame the nerd holding the map is what you blame. 132 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 3: That's you. 133 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 1: But now, staying with that theme, in Minnesota, Vikings wide 134 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 1: receiver Justin Jefferson said recently in some podcast that seven 135 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 1: people heard that the team had quote difficulty at quarterback. 136 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 3: Well, that's kind of obvious, and he admitted. 137 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson that the Vikings would have performed better with 138 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 1: Sam Darnold since he had more experience working with the 139 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 1: team in twenty twenty four. So Jefferson, the quote was 140 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 1: having a quarterback that already had a season under his 141 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 1: belt with us, knew the plays, knew the playbook, knew 142 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 1: the players throwing to me. 143 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 3: Blah blah blah blah blah. 144 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 1: Jefferson said, I quote definitely feel like we would have 145 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 1: done better. 146 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 3: Is what he said. 147 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 1: So the question for the class on this one, Justin Jefferson, 148 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 1: the all everything wide receiver giving a sermon that the 149 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 1: Vikings would have been better off with Sam Donald over 150 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy this past season. 151 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 3: Does that work for you? Or no way? All right? 152 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 1: So the arrow on this one is pointing towards no 153 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 1: way all right. This story is kosher in the fact 154 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 1: that Justin Jefferson went and grabbed a Morton's container of 155 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 1: kosher salt and then dumped it straight into the grave 156 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 1: of his now former GM crazy Adolpha Mensa. Okay, here 157 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 1: you go, pal, I'm gonna pour some salt over there. 158 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 1: This was not just a rant and rave by Justin Jefferson. 159 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 1: This was a trial transcript, if you will, in many 160 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:52,960 Speaker 1: ways here because the verdict guilty. Justin Jefferson did not 161 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 1: just praise Sam darn I. Guess Jefferson must not have 162 00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 1: been there when Donald played against the Lions and the 163 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 1: Rams at the end of his Minnesota career. 164 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 3: Maybe he missed those games. 165 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 1: But he also hit Justin Jefferson the daily double, the 166 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:08,960 Speaker 1: daily double. Not only did he slobber all over Sam Darnold, 167 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 1: but he also called out JJ McCarthy. In fact, he 168 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:18,600 Speaker 1: actually took a zamboni and ran over Justin Jefferson ran 169 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:23,080 Speaker 1: over him with the zamboni the quarterback JJ McCarthy, and 170 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,720 Speaker 1: then backed up the zamboni to run over him again 171 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 1: b B be and backed it up and and then 172 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:33,280 Speaker 1: did it again. And despite a red shirt season. Remember 173 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,599 Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy had a red shirt season to learn the 174 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 1: plays because he got hurt. But he was there and 175 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 1: through Osmosis was supposed to learn everything and had the 176 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 1: quarterback whisper and all this stuff. And according to Justin Jefferson, 177 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,080 Speaker 1: he did not know the playbook. That's what Jefferson said. 178 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,079 Speaker 1: Have somebody that knew the playbook, Well, why would you 179 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:51,840 Speaker 1: need to have somebody who knew the playbook if the 180 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 1: guy you played didn't know the playbook. So he clearly 181 00:09:55,080 --> 00:10:00,160 Speaker 1: called out the lack of preparation for JJ McCarthy. So 182 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:04,320 Speaker 1: that's Viking on Viking crime. And despite having a year 183 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,560 Speaker 1: to learn the playbook and everything like that, it didn't 184 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 1: work out. So you're saying the quiet part out loud. 185 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 1: Find and it's pretty clear that Jefferson, when the end 186 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,440 Speaker 1: of the season Get Together the exit interview happened, he 187 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:21,560 Speaker 1: was not was not advocating for the continuation of the 188 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 1: Viking general manager, and instead he was likely testifying against 189 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:30,080 Speaker 1: the Viking general manager. Nevertheless, let's kill the fairy tale 190 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,719 Speaker 1: right now. We believe in the truth and broadcasting, so 191 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 1: we will be the myth busters, and as the myth busters, 192 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,720 Speaker 1: we will destroy the myth that is being spread by 193 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:46,319 Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson. Pretty clear that this is some nonsense here. 194 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 1: This is a man who shot liberty valance situation. When 195 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 1: the legend becomes the fact, you go with the legend, right. 196 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 1: The legend is that this is the way it is, 197 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 1: and that's that. But if you look at Sam Darnold, 198 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,680 Speaker 1: Seattle is going to play less than a week from today, 199 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:04,080 Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl. That is correct when the issue 200 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 1: is that Donald's not the reason they're there. And there's 201 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 1: this myth, it's this disease that people have as well 202 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:13,840 Speaker 1: the teams in the quarterbacks. So it must be teams 203 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 1: in Super Bowl must be the quarterback. Teams in Super 204 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,079 Speaker 1: Bowl must be the quarterback against top ten teams against 205 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 1: the top opponents that the Seahawks played. Sam Donald was 206 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 1: the nineteenth ranked quarterback in the NFL this year. Orgo, 207 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:28,960 Speaker 1: he was not flying the plane. He was in coach. 208 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 1: He had a middle seat and there was no available 209 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:36,679 Speaker 1: space in the overhead bin and he was holding a 210 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 1: bag on his lap of turnovers. In fact, he had 211 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 1: twenty turnovers Sam Donald this year. That is the most 212 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 1: of any quarterback in the NFL. He was worse at 213 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 1: turning the ball over ball security than Geno Smith and Tua. 214 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:55,560 Speaker 1: And I have these fan boys that worship Sam Donald 215 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,840 Speaker 1: because they think, oh, the Seahawks are in the Super Bowl. 216 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:02,320 Speaker 1: So it's all because of of course, these are dumb people, 217 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:04,560 Speaker 1: and that's the way it is. But never let the 218 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 1: truth get in the way of the good story. Now, 219 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,439 Speaker 1: last word, we have the coaching shuffle, will work our 220 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,840 Speaker 1: way through that as we get through the overnight. But 221 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:16,720 Speaker 1: how about in San Francisco or Santa Clara former Atlanta 222 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:20,720 Speaker 1: Falcon coach, the failed Raheem Morris. What a joke of 223 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,560 Speaker 1: a coach this guy is? And he lands on his feet. 224 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:25,680 Speaker 1: He gets a new gig. He will be running the 225 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 1: Niners defense when the next season comes around here in 226 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 1: twenty twenty six. 227 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:31,199 Speaker 3: He was hired to. 228 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 1: Replace Robert Sala, who is going and doing motivational speaking 229 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,079 Speaker 1: in Nashville now at the Grand Old Opry and will 230 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 1: occasionally coach the Tennessee Titans. So the question, Raheem Morris 231 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 1: named the forty nine er defensive coordinator? 232 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:47,600 Speaker 3: Is this an. 233 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:51,840 Speaker 1: Upgrade, a down grade or a lateral move for the 234 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 1: Niners defense? So being thorough on this, and I do 235 00:12:56,920 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 1: know Raheem Morris because he was the Rams defensive coordinator, 236 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 1: So I'm familiar with the man's body of work and 237 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,679 Speaker 1: I will be fair when I tell my friends or 238 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 1: Nesto in the Bay and Terry in England is a 239 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 1: forty nine fan jay school. 240 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 3: This is a major downgrade. 241 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:15,480 Speaker 1: So I'm not upset as somebody that likes the Rams, 242 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 1: I am. I support this. This guy's not that good. 243 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 1: So that is a good move by the Niners. You 244 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:25,680 Speaker 1: have just worsened your defense. Good job by you. I 245 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 1: don't even think this is close. I don't all right, 246 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:32,560 Speaker 1: this is like a name recognition situation. Well, we know 247 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:34,439 Speaker 1: the name, and so we can't be that bad. 248 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:35,079 Speaker 3: He's being the other. 249 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,840 Speaker 1: But if you do this shuffle, there's a lot of recycling. 250 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,719 Speaker 1: There's a lot of recycling going on here, and it's 251 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 1: just another name. These names just kept bouncing around. It's like, okay, 252 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 1: that guy coaching in Atlanta. He was with the Rams, 253 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,680 Speaker 1: so I now go to the Niners and then bounce 254 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 1: around somewhere else there. If you look at the resume 255 00:13:53,800 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 1: of Rahue Morris, loaded rosters often middling results in most plays, 256 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:06,960 Speaker 1: is no real elite defense. There's the defenses generally don't 257 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 1: have a lot of fear with him coaching. 258 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:10,319 Speaker 3: They don't. 259 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 1: And when Morris was with the Rams or Morris, it 260 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 1: drove me insane because they played such a soft branded defense. 261 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 3: That they are cushion. 262 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 1: You just gave up a lot of things you didn't 263 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:27,760 Speaker 1: necessarily need to give up, playing patty. 264 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:29,880 Speaker 3: Cake, and it was very maddening, and it. 265 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:34,720 Speaker 1: Was consistent, and the newtered pass rush and just like 266 00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 1: playing soft safe, it was just bad soft zones with 267 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 1: the rams which was not not particularly good. There a 268 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 1: lot of cushion and problematic and low pressure rates and 269 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:54,040 Speaker 1: all that stuff. And it's the soft underbelly, is what 270 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 1: it is. It's that soft underbelly that you have. And 271 00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,560 Speaker 1: it's again, it's a recycling situation. The en loves to 272 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 1: recycle these guys. They just bounce from team to team 273 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:06,080 Speaker 1: to team, and you wonder even how long he's going 274 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 1: to be there. It's more like a pit stop situation. 275 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,640 Speaker 1: And it's like, well this is a stepping stone. Everyone else, 276 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 1: who's the Niners defensive coordinator, it seems to get a 277 00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,840 Speaker 1: head coaching job, So I'll just go hang out there 278 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:18,800 Speaker 1: for a year or two if you're Raheem Morris and 279 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 1: some other dumb team will hire me, which blows my 280 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 1: mind because he's failed twice as a head coach and 281 00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 1: really just not have the skill set to be a 282 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 1: successful head coach. It with a beer at a talented 283 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 1: team in Atlanta, great underachieving Falcon team while he was there, 284 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:37,920 Speaker 1: and you look at it, and there's also just hire 285 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 1: a friend Shanahan Kyle Shannan's Ah, we work together. 286 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:43,480 Speaker 3: I know the guy. 287 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:47,120 Speaker 1: It's like the same names, same ideas, different years. They 288 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,840 Speaker 1: just shuffle the deck and that's it. And it is recycling, 289 00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 1: you know. 290 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:53,240 Speaker 3: It's like it's take it to the recycling plant.

The former Rams offensive coordinator, 325 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:55,480 Speaker 1: former Rams offensive Cord Grease to wait five year contract 326 00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,520 Speaker 1: to be the head coach and he will be heading 327 00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:03,919 Speaker 1: off to the The son Arizona wanted Clint Kobyak, he 328 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 1: didn't want them. Instead, he chose the Raiders. Matter having 329 00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 1: to pick between the Raiders and Cardinals. It's like, would 330 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,879 Speaker 1: I rather be Do I want the electric chair or 331 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:14,720 Speaker 1: firing squad? 332 00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:17,440 Speaker 3: Which one do I want? I don't know? Metaphorically of course. 333 00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:21,440 Speaker 1: All right, So the Cardinals' owners sent up this glowing statement, 334 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 1: and I gotta give you some of this. 335 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:25,200 Speaker 3: It's such bull crap. I want to share it with you. 336 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,440 Speaker 3: It's so much fun. These are so much fun, man, 337 00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 3: are they good? 338 00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:31,680 Speaker 1: The statement from the owner said, Mike Lafleur possessed quote 339 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:35,920 Speaker 1: all the traits necessary to lead this team to success. Hmm, 340 00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 1: okay that you had to announce that he had all 341 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,560 Speaker 1: the traits? Isn't that kind of obvious you hired him? 342 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:42,359 Speaker 1: Wouldn't it be kind of obvious that you have all 343 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:44,960 Speaker 1: the trades? But they had to announce it. Then the 344 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:48,359 Speaker 1: statement went on to say he's highly intelligent. Well that's good. 345 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 1: Were you planning and hiring someone stupid? Does that mean 346 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:54,879 Speaker 1: the last coach is an idiot? And quote exceptionally sharp? 347 00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:57,960 Speaker 1: Doesn't that go with highly intelligent? Wouldn't you assume someone 348 00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:00,240 Speaker 1: who's highly intelligent is exceptionally sharp? 349 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:02,960 Speaker 3: But what do I know? I just do the Overnight show. 350 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:08,560 Speaker 1: He was also praised for his creative football mind. Mike Lafleur. Really, 351 00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 1: oh soeh, someone is creative as opposed to the other 352 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:15,879 Speaker 1: coaches that weren't creative all right, described as a quote 353 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:19,560 Speaker 1: dynamic and innovative leader. What is your evidence on that? 354 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 1: Because he's never been a head coach, What is your 355 00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:24,480 Speaker 1: evidence on that? I can go on and on. Now 356 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:29,360 Speaker 1: lev Flair, who's the thirty eight year old, the younger, 357 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:34,840 Speaker 1: younger brother, and he replaces Jonathan Gannon who was whack 358 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:39,280 Speaker 1: adoodle out of Arizona there in early January. So this 359 00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:42,879 Speaker 1: has been an almost month long process or process, and 360 00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:47,840 Speaker 1: they land on they being the Cardinals, land on Mike LeFleur, 361 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:50,720 Speaker 1: another NEPO baby, getting the job there. 362 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:52,359 Speaker 3: So that is a good jumping off point. 363 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:57,479 Speaker 1: Let us discuss the question Mike le Flair, the newest 364 00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 1: NFL head coach, he joins the the Cardinals. Does this 365 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:05,840 Speaker 1: move excite the fan base there in Arizona? 366 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,520 Speaker 3: Doesn't expect the fan base. So I've got my observation 367 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:08,840 Speaker 3: on this. 368 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:15,200 Speaker 1: I've got NBC Hit Show stagehand and Anderson windows and doors, 369 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,399 Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together and 370 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:24,480 Speaker 1: we're gonna play ABC one two three, ABC one two three, 371 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:25,840 Speaker 1: So number. 372 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:33,440 Speaker 3: Enough. 373 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:38,240 Speaker 1: All right, No one And when I said, I mean 374 00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:42,600 Speaker 1: no one, no one is going to uh even roll 375 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:46,400 Speaker 1: over in bed. Who's a Cardinal fan, even a casual fan. 376 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:50,160 Speaker 1: Hiring Mike LeFleur as your head coach. This is the 377 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:53,840 Speaker 1: biggest dud you could possibly have. Way to go, Cardinals, 378 00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 1: Way to go. You're not even gonna stretch. You're not 379 00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:00,400 Speaker 1: forget your roll. No, there's no stretching. You not even 380 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,879 Speaker 1: gonna check your phone. You just hit the snooze and 381 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:05,479 Speaker 1: you're in the snooze. 382 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,400 Speaker 3: Cruise is what you're on right there. It's so bad. 383 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:12,439 Speaker 1: The Cardinals continue every coaching hire. They're remaking that early 384 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:14,720 Speaker 1: two thousands, all the way up until twenty seventeen, that 385 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:19,160 Speaker 1: NBC hit show The Apprentice, hosted by our current president. 386 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,360 Speaker 1: And because it's when you get the Cardinal job, it's 387 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 1: an apprentice situation, is what it is. Right, Arizona is 388 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:30,359 Speaker 1: running in NFL trade school when it comes to the 389 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 1: head coach and it's like, come on down, you want 390 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:35,159 Speaker 1: to be a head coach, All right, we'll make your 391 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:38,359 Speaker 1: dream come true. Why not get your feet wet, learn 392 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:42,480 Speaker 1: on the job. Just don't break anything expensive and you 393 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,720 Speaker 1: can pretend to be a head coach in the NFL, 394 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,679 Speaker 1: you get credit on your Pro Football reference page and 395 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:52,919 Speaker 1: all that. There is a pattern here. It's patternicity is 396 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:54,160 Speaker 1: what it is. If you look at the pattern here, 397 00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:58,640 Speaker 1: one unproven leader after another. Now, even when you hire 398 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:00,960 Speaker 1: a proven coach, there's no guarantee at least the person's 399 00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,880 Speaker 1: shown the pedigree when they've done it before, that they 400 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,119 Speaker 1: can do it again. And while I am not totally 401 00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:09,720 Speaker 1: against hiring first time coaches, when all you do is 402 00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:13,399 Speaker 1: hire first time head coaches, well that becomes a problem also. 403 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:17,240 Speaker 1: So that is now if my malord math etrect, not one, 404 00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:20,400 Speaker 1: not two, not three, not four, not five, six consecutive, 405 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,960 Speaker 1: six straight head coaches that have had no real head 406 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:28,359 Speaker 1: coaching experience or any head coaching experience in the past 407 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:31,920 Speaker 1: as the. 408 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:31,360 Speaker 3: Full time head coach. 409 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:33,280 Speaker 1: There was something that were interim coaches, but the full 410 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 1: time head coach that has not happen here. So at 411 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 1: this point I would think there's not many Cardinals fans. 412 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,760 Speaker 1: It's very small. It's called narrow casting, not broadcasting. But 413 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:43,359 Speaker 1: we are on in the Valley the Sun. You wouldn't 414 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,320 Speaker 1: know that because we hardly get any calls from Cardinal fans. 415 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:47,440 Speaker 1: I wouldn't call either. I'd be embarrassed if I was 416 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:50,000 Speaker 1: a Cardinal fan. But anyway, so the fans got to 417 00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:53,600 Speaker 1: be numb at this point, emotionally frostbitten. 418 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:54,200 Speaker 3: If you will. 419 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:58,600 Speaker 1: Here the franchise. They live in the suburbs, the Cardinals franchise. 420 00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:02,800 Speaker 1: It's media Socrety Meadows. It's a nice suburban neighborhood out 421 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:06,600 Speaker 1: far away from town. And you text the fans. 422 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:08,639 Speaker 3: Here's what they should do. The Cardinals should. 423 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:13,080 Speaker 1: Text their fans when and if Mike Lafleur actually does 424 00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:15,680 Speaker 1: anything memorable, they can let them know, say, well, we 425 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:17,760 Speaker 1: actually hire somebody to do what they were doing, and 426 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 1: I just don't hold your breath. Don't hold your breath. 427 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,680 Speaker 1: That's probably not gonna happen here. And he wasn't even 428 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,800 Speaker 1: playing a he wasn't even planning. Now the streets are buzzing. 429 00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:28,720 Speaker 1: As we mentioned, the streets are buzzing that the Cardinals 430 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:32,320 Speaker 1: wanted Clint Kubiak and he wanted to go to Vaas 431 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,560 Speaker 1: you imagine how bad your franchise has to be for 432 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,240 Speaker 1: someone to pick the Raiders over your team. Have you 433 00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:40,720 Speaker 1: seen the Raiders the last twenty years? They're an embarrassment, right, 434 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:42,879 Speaker 1: like all the tough rate. When I was a kid, 435 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 1: the Raiders were badass. Their fans were badass, and now 436 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,680 Speaker 1: all of them are middle aged old dudes who used 437 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:51,200 Speaker 1: to be badass, and. 438 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:53,000 Speaker 3: It's really mean. That's it mean. 439 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:55,520 Speaker 1: Anybody younger is like, I'm not a Raider fan. They 440 00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:59,199 Speaker 1: suck embarrassing. You can't really be a tough guy with 441 00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:03,119 Speaker 1: edge wearing Raider merch when they lose every game or 442 00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:06,120 Speaker 1: just about every game, and they commitment to excellence. They 443 00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:07,920 Speaker 1: tried to lose this year to get the number one pick, 444 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:11,159 Speaker 1: and there's no great quarterback in the draft. They lost 445 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:14,159 Speaker 1: intentionally to get the top pick, and they're stuck with 446 00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:17,440 Speaker 1: the guy's a fourth round talent in Fernando Mendoza at 447 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:18,240 Speaker 1: the top of the draft. 448 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 3: Good luck with that anyway. 449 00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 1: Back to the point, So the Cardinals here, they hire 450 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,760 Speaker 1: the son or they wanted to hire the son of 451 00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:27,880 Speaker 1: an NFL coach. They couldn't do that, so they hired 452 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:31,600 Speaker 1: the brother of an NFL coach in Micha Lafleur. 453 00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,560 Speaker 3: It's a brothers act, is what it is here. 454 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:37,720 Speaker 1: So the flour blood brothers think about this. Over twelve 455 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:41,600 Speaker 1: percent of NFL coaches are related as brothers. You've got 456 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,680 Speaker 1: the hard rough brothers with the Giants and the Chargers, 457 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:47,320 Speaker 1: and now you have the flour blood brothers with the 458 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 1: Cardinals and the Green Bay Packers. So we've seen this 459 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:56,000 Speaker 1: type of movie before with the Cardinals, and I don't 460 00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:58,160 Speaker 1: expect the ending to be any different here now. Page 461 00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:01,119 Speaker 1: two though, one of the big selling points, and I 462 00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:02,919 Speaker 1: wanted to get into this with you, one of the 463 00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:05,240 Speaker 1: big selling points is well, yeah, he's never been. 464 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 3: A head coach, Michael for but but. 465 00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:13,920 Speaker 1: Uh yeah, he's got Listen, he's got the tree. He's 466 00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:18,160 Speaker 1: got the tree. He's part of you know who's coaching tree? 467 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:20,199 Speaker 3: All right? 468 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:25,919 Speaker 1: So question, do you believe the Sean McVey connection, the 469 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:31,240 Speaker 1: McVeigh coaching tree angle is a good omen for Michael 470 00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:34,439 Speaker 1: Lafleur having success in Arizona? 471 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:35,560 Speaker 3: All right? 472 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 1: So I'll answer this by saying it means nothing. It 473 00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:44,119 Speaker 1: means nothing, okay, and more so with the Rams. Now, 474 00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:46,479 Speaker 1: there have been some McVeigh assistants that have gone on 475 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:49,000 Speaker 1: and did good things, but it's not because of Sean McVay. 476 00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:51,000 Speaker 1: It's because they knew what they were doing. And it's 477 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,600 Speaker 1: always odd to me to hire someone because they happen 478 00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:56,400 Speaker 1: to be part of a successful coach, because the most 479 00:25:56,440 --> 00:26:00,680 Speaker 1: successful coaches do it mostly by themselves. Andy Reid in 480 00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,520 Speaker 1: Kansas City, I put Sean mcvah in that same basket, 481 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:06,800 Speaker 1: and people act like Sean McVay. He's gonna leave a 482 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:10,640 Speaker 1: little container of secret potion and he's gonna, you know, take. 483 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:12,840 Speaker 3: It out of the sorcerer's workshop. He's gonna give it 484 00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:16,119 Speaker 3: to Lafleur and say, Okay, you're my guy. 485 00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:19,320 Speaker 1: Here's a little potion, and you can do that. And 486 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:22,520 Speaker 1: why not even though this guy, Michael Lafleur has been 487 00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:28,040 Speaker 1: riding the caboose on the McVeigh train, and mcveigh's in 488 00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:31,159 Speaker 1: the steam engine. Mcveigh's in the steam engine. And so 489 00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:34,720 Speaker 1: that's what we've got. And so it guarantees bupkus squad 490 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:38,680 Speaker 1: douche is what it guarantees here. And mcveigh's not some 491 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:42,920 Speaker 1: cheerleader raw Rah, let's go. It's I think of a 492 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:46,640 Speaker 1: cheerleading coach. I think of Robert Salah, cheerleader, right, raw 493 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 1: ra guy, great order, great talker, silver tongue devil, Robert Salah. McVeigh. 494 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:58,080 Speaker 1: He's a control freak. In terms of the office. It's 495 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:01,760 Speaker 1: his production. Think of it like a movie, and McVeigh 496 00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:05,879 Speaker 1: wrote the script. He's in charge of the cameras, in 497 00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:08,639 Speaker 1: charge of wardrobe, in charge of where they're going to 498 00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:11,920 Speaker 1: film the movie, all of that. Everyone else is a 499 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:15,800 Speaker 1: stage hand. So you just hired a stage hand. Congratulations, 500 00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:18,960 Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals. You hired a stage hand. And McVeigh he 501 00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:21,760 Speaker 1: runs that production. That's that's what he does here. So 502 00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:24,600 Speaker 1: if you want to talk about the resume, Michae Laflora 503 00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:26,760 Speaker 1: already ran his own show with the Jets. You might 504 00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,720 Speaker 1: not remember that because why would you? And did not 505 00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:33,240 Speaker 1: did not make it unscathed. When he ran the Jets offense, 506 00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 1: how did that go? Don't ask? Do not ask? Is 507 00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:38,480 Speaker 1: puke in your mouth bad? When he was with the Jets, 508 00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:40,399 Speaker 1: he ran the offense for two years. 509 00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:41,320 Speaker 3: The Jets ranked. 510 00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:45,720 Speaker 1: Thirty first and eighteenth in offense. There's only thirty two 511 00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:49,879 Speaker 1: teams and boom goes the dynamite. 512 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:51,400 Speaker 3: And he was shown the door. Get out of here, 513 00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:56,040 Speaker 3: went to Sean mcvay's coaching rehab clinic out in Malibu, 514 00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:58,320 Speaker 3: and now he's back as an NFL head coach. 515 00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,840 Speaker 1: So not exactly a glow up. When he was coaching 516 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,399 Speaker 1: the Jets offense there did not go that well. And 517 00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:07,520 Speaker 1: here we are, so and the issue is this Arizona 518 00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,159 Speaker 1: kind of like the Jets. Right, they're the Jets, but 519 00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:15,000 Speaker 1: they have cactus and sand instead of Jersey diners in 520 00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:18,399 Speaker 1: pollution and all that. And so you look at it. 521 00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:20,680 Speaker 1: They don't have an elite quarterback. Their quarterback's really good 522 00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:22,040 Speaker 1: with a joystick, not a football. 523 00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:23,840 Speaker 3: That's a problem. They're gonna get rid of him anyway. 524 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:28,000 Speaker 1: So they don't have a quarterback, and they don't really 525 00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:32,000 Speaker 1: have a solid roster. It's pretty mediocre roster that seems 526 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:36,680 Speaker 1: to be problematic. And it's like hope in a paper bag. Well, 527 00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,200 Speaker 1: I don't see that. It looks like we know it's 528 00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:40,760 Speaker 1: hoping there. We know it's an empty bag. No, there's 529 00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:42,360 Speaker 1: hope in the bag. But no, there's no there's no 530 00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:44,120 Speaker 1: real hope. There's just an empty bag. That's all it is, 531 00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:46,680 Speaker 1: is just an m bag. And so that's where the coordinators. 532 00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:48,720 Speaker 1: You're supposed to earn your stripes in theory when you 533 00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:51,640 Speaker 1: don't have an elite roster and you coach guys up. 534 00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:53,600 Speaker 1: That's the argument. Coach people up and they do a 535 00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:56,880 Speaker 1: great job, and all that stuff. And in non elite situation, 536 00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:59,720 Speaker 1: anyone can coach when you've got a great roster and me, 537 00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:02,240 Speaker 1: we'll see what Lafur does you. But he's not gonna 538 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:06,120 Speaker 1: have McVeigh. There's a double edged sword because McVeigh knows Lafleur. 539 00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:08,160 Speaker 1: The Cardinals are saying, well, he's gonna have Laflour is 540 00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:09,680 Speaker 1: gonna have an edge when you play the Rams. But 541 00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:13,280 Speaker 1: McVeigh also knows what makes this guy tick. So it 542 00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:15,680 Speaker 1: cuts both ways there. It's kind of like throwing spaghetti 543 00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:18,680 Speaker 1: against the wall and seeing what sticks here. It's say, 544 00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:22,640 Speaker 1: continues a theme there with the Cardinals, the vortex of average, 545 00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:26,120 Speaker 1: the twiddling of thumbs. That's the Cardinal way. There are 546 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:28,960 Speaker 1: spam franchise. They continue to be the Arizona Cardinals a 547 00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:32,120 Speaker 1: spam franchise. They exist so the serious teams that are 548 00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:35,000 Speaker 1: trying to win can fatten up their records. And that's it. 549 00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:36,880 Speaker 1: And if you haven't figured that out by now, I 550 00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:38,720 Speaker 1: don't know what to tell you. That's just how they 551 00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:42,040 Speaker 1: operate there. It's just a filler, filler franchise. 552 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:42,280 Speaker 3: Now. 553 00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:44,440 Speaker 1: Meanwhile, over the weekend, there was a story that popped 554 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:46,440 Speaker 1: up that I wanted to spend a couple. 555 00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:47,880 Speaker 3: Of minutes on it. I think it's kind of funny. 556 00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:50,160 Speaker 3: I always get a kick out of this, And I 557 00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:51,760 Speaker 3: don't know if you're into it or not, but let 558 00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:53,480 Speaker 3: me make my pitch and see if you care about 559 00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:56,120 Speaker 3: this story or not. So over the weekend, we learned 560 00:29:56,120 --> 00:30:00,680 Speaker 3: that former NFL player Jason Kelsey his late night talk 561 00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:03,520 Speaker 3: show was canceled. He did a late night talk show 562 00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:05,640 Speaker 3: in the offseason last year. He might remember it, probably 563 00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:10,720 Speaker 3: don't because nobody watched it, and they're claiming they being 564 00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:14,080 Speaker 3: the Kelsey clan. Over the weekend and the TV people 565 00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:18,160 Speaker 3: are like, well, the show's not coming back, however, planning 566 00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:20,720 Speaker 3: on pursuing some other opportunities, Like he didn't really want 567 00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:23,840 Speaker 3: to do the show again. That's the argument. So question 568 00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:30,040 Speaker 3: former Eagles senator Jason Kelsey's talk show not returning, his 569 00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:33,400 Speaker 3: late night Friday night talk show not returning here in 570 00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:36,440 Speaker 3: twenty twenty six. How does that story sound to you? 571 00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:41,880 Speaker 3: All Right? So Kelsey, he did this, this dance his people, 572 00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:45,440 Speaker 3: he left to pursue other opportunities. 573 00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:50,120 Speaker 1: Is what the story claimed over the weekend. It's kind 574 00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:53,920 Speaker 1: of like an ad for Anderson Windows and Doors. Really 575 00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:58,040 Speaker 1: good framing right, really good framing, and I know why 576 00:30:58,040 --> 00:30:58,360 Speaker 1: they do it. 577 00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:01,000 Speaker 3: There's a lot of stupid people people. Oh yeah, well 578 00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:03,920 Speaker 3: he could have done the show again, but he didn't 579 00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:05,440 Speaker 3: want to do the show. He had all the things 580 00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:06,160 Speaker 3: he wanted to do. 581 00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:10,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, my fat ass that he had other things he 582 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:13,680 Speaker 1: wanted to do. It's an emergency exit hatch that they 583 00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:15,920 Speaker 1: opened up. They framed it the right way. Spin Class. 584 00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:19,000 Speaker 3: There's a courtyard here, they have hot yoga, they might 585 00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:21,000 Speaker 3: do some spin in there. So it's it's like spin class, 586 00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:22,240 Speaker 3: is what it is. 587 00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:26,440 Speaker 1: They're acting like he chose not to continue the TV 588 00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:29,320 Speaker 1: show and that no one told me to leave. 589 00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:31,720 Speaker 3: And it was all organic and all that stuff. Of course, 590 00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:36,040 Speaker 3: Kelsey was not a host in the traditional sense. He 591 00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:39,880 Speaker 3: was more like a cardboard cutout with a microphone, very stiff, 592 00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:41,560 Speaker 3: no timing, no edge, no hook. 593 00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:44,080 Speaker 1: Other than that he did a great job. And it's 594 00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:47,360 Speaker 1: it's like a drad Ol story, right, spin spin, spin, 595 00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:51,800 Speaker 1: spin spin, It's hope, it's hope it lands on creative decision. 596 00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:57,920 Speaker 1: The reality is that the show had no ratings, apparently, 597 00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:01,480 Speaker 1: no advertisers that liked the show, and no juice. So 598 00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:06,400 Speaker 1: strike one, strike two, and strike three and. 599 00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:09,360 Speaker 3: Bad boring and broke, the Killer Bees, Bad broke, boring 600 00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:13,479 Speaker 3: and broke. And that's it. So grab some benches. Hawk Harrelson, 601 00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:15,560 Speaker 3: the old White Sox broadcaster back in the day, would say, 602 00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:17,080 Speaker 3: grab some bench. He'll grab some bench. 603 00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:20,160 Speaker 1: Go sit down. Now, I did the math on it. 604 00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:25,320 Speaker 1: So ESPN averages seventy million homes. That's down a lot 605 00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,080 Speaker 1: from where they used to be, but they're about seventy 606 00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:31,960 Speaker 1: million homes. The Jason Kelsey Late night talk show pulled 607 00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,720 Speaker 1: in two hundred and ninety thousand viewers out of seventy 608 00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:38,160 Speaker 1: million possible viewers. Now that's extreme, right, because seventy million 609 00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:39,760 Speaker 1: in the show is on late. Some people go to 610 00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:42,479 Speaker 1: bed early. But still, let's say it's like fifty million 611 00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:46,800 Speaker 1: potential viewers, two hundred and ninety thousand viewers. Right, that's 612 00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:50,880 Speaker 1: a garage sale. It's about a garage sale. To give 613 00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:54,320 Speaker 1: you some comparison, the overnight show that we do right 614 00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:57,000 Speaker 1: now in the middle of the night, when ninety nine 615 00:32:57,040 --> 00:33:00,800 Speaker 1: percent of the public is sleeping, when you do all 616 00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:06,520 Speaker 1: the downloads and all that, we challenge that number. And 617 00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:09,560 Speaker 1: we're an overnight radio show, and he's on with a 618 00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:13,440 Speaker 1: seventy million platform, Jason Kelsey. No one was watching, and 619 00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:15,800 Speaker 1: Kelsey got the gig. If you look at it, he 620 00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:17,920 Speaker 1: got the gig because of his last name. It's kind 621 00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:19,760 Speaker 1: of a hot name right now. And he had a 622 00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:23,000 Speaker 1: crush on Conan O'Brien. He grew up watching Conan O'Brien. 623 00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:26,120 Speaker 1: And the networks keep confusing this fandoms. Well, he's a 624 00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:28,680 Speaker 1: big name, he's a fan, he must have talent. And 625 00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:33,120 Speaker 1: there's also this Kelsey fatigue, which I think is legit 626 00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:37,400 Speaker 1: overexposed the leftovers. You know, it's like you leave it 627 00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:39,080 Speaker 1: out on the counter and it goes bad and all 628 00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:42,920 Speaker 1: that stuff. Less is more, less is more, And this 629 00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:46,400 Speaker 1: was a little too much, just a little bit too much. 630 00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:48,880 Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller 631 00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:52,000 Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. 632 00:33:52,880 --> 00:34:00,760 Speaker 3: How about that out this? God, that's real good, all right? Ben? 633 00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:03,360 Speaker 3: You and I didn't even know the Pro Bowl hadn't happen, No, 634 00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:05,840 Speaker 3: we did not. I've been to the Pro Bowl before. 635 00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:06,640 Speaker 3: I know. 636 00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:09,040 Speaker 5: There's plenty of players that have dropped out, yeah, just 637 00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:11,160 Speaker 5: you know, personal reasons, but they don't want to play. 638 00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:15,080 Speaker 5: The ratings have gone down since back when it was 639 00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:17,640 Speaker 5: played after the Super Bowl, that's when ratings were actually good. 640 00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:20,759 Speaker 3: Should they move it to back after the Super Bowl? No, 641 00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:22,960 Speaker 3: it doesn't matter yet. 642 00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:25,640 Speaker 1: They could play it two months from now and the 643 00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:29,600 Speaker 1: players won't care. So no, as long as the NFL 644 00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:32,360 Speaker 1: kept it around. It's a weird flag football game. But 645 00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:34,680 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter when they play it. The players aren't 646 00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:36,680 Speaker 1: into it. The fans know the players aren't into it. 647 00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:40,319 Speaker 5: Next all right, So the Brooklyn Nets just recently got 648 00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:44,040 Speaker 5: blown out by fifty three points by the Pistons, and 649 00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:45,880 Speaker 5: that's not even a week after they got blown out 650 00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:48,799 Speaker 5: by fifty four points by the Knicks. Sure should there 651 00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:51,480 Speaker 5: be some kind of penalty for teams that don't even try, 652 00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:52,960 Speaker 5: like the Nets, like what's going on? 653 00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:55,799 Speaker 3: Well, there should be, but Adam Silver is encouraging that 654 00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:56,359 Speaker 3: like that. 655 00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:59,480 Speaker 1: He doesn't care. The NBA commissioner doesn't care. He claims 656 00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:02,240 Speaker 1: he cares. He doesn't care. This is a major problem 657 00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,600 Speaker 1: with that sport that nothing's gonna happen on the that though. 658 00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:08,160 Speaker 5: Next Ron Darling said that the reds Hunter Green could 659 00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:09,680 Speaker 5: be the best picture in the game if he's injury 660 00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:12,279 Speaker 5: free next year. Then later that day, the Red sign 661 00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:13,880 Speaker 5: au Haneo Suarez. 662 00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:16,080 Speaker 3: Are they poised to make a deep run? 663 00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:18,520 Speaker 1: They were, what it's a soft division coup, but they're 664 00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:20,040 Speaker 1: still they're not vag great. 665 00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:21,600 Speaker 3: How do we do you pass it? That's a win. 666 00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:24,239 Speaker 3: Put on your part. That's a win. I got a win. 667 00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:25,200 Speaker 3: That's a win. 668 00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:28,560 Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 669 00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:31,960 Speaker 2: the nation.
