This is Straight 3 00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:21,960 Speaker 1: Fire for Monday, November. Listen. It was a long, long 4 00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:24,880 Speaker 1: Sunday in the NFL. I hope everybody had a great, 5 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:27,240 Speaker 1: great Sunday. Listen to picks have been money. The last 6 00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:30,960 Speaker 1: two weeks college was that we did hit on Utah Oregon. 7 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:32,640 Speaker 1: It was just a great weekend in sports. My son 8 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:36,520 Speaker 1: participated in a club basketball tournament. They won their first championship, 9 00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:38,400 Speaker 1: so he was thrilled. I was, of course trying to 10 00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:42,040 Speaker 1: watch NFL while also watching his game. It's just an 11 00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:44,440 Speaker 1: awesome weekend. And now Thanksgiving break is upon us. We 12 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:47,880 Speaker 1: don't even know our Thanksgiving schedule. Um, I'm a workaholic. 13 00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,560 Speaker 1: I'm kind of obsessed with the podcast in sports and 14 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:52,680 Speaker 1: you know the drill, so, uh, I don't know what. 15 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:55,360 Speaker 1: We'll have a lot of podcast interviews this week. We'll 16 00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,320 Speaker 1: have probably take one day off maybe too. We'll see 17 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 1: big interview tomorrow at you guys are really gonna like that. 18 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,679 Speaker 1: But we have to start this podcast with holy stuff. 19 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:08,120 Speaker 1: Holy I don't even I a word that I'm struggling 20 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,679 Speaker 1: to get out of my mouth. Not about survivor, not 21 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 1: about a thrilling fantasy win, but about the Chargers Steelers 22 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 1: game that was complete bonkers Sunday night, folks. I started 23 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:23,759 Speaker 1: rooting for the Chargers because now we live in Los Angeles, 24 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 1: and yeah, I still roof the Rams are my Jets 25 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 1: are my team, obviously, but rooting for the Chargers is 26 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 1: like not healthy for you. I mean, they have so 27 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:36,480 Speaker 1: many wild swings. I jotted down some notes. I'm watching 28 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:38,199 Speaker 1: the game. You know, my mom's in town. We're watching 29 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 1: the game. I get the kids, the wife, and I'm 30 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 1: flipping out over this fantasy game. But Chargers are in 31 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 1: total control. And then the meltdown begins. And I don't 32 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 1: know if you guys saw this, but there were forty 33 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 1: one point scored in the fourth quarter alone. The Chargers 34 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 1: just kept handing the ball back to Pittsburgh's like they 35 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 1: didn't want to win. I mean, listen, I know Justin Herbert. 36 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,279 Speaker 1: I have a man crush on him. I was totally 37 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 1: gassing him up earlier this year and he had some 38 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 1: struggling moments. He was unbelievable, just unreal. On Sunday night. Now, 39 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 1: there was no t J. Watt against him and the 40 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,919 Speaker 1: Steelers um looked pretty much dead for most of that 41 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 1: game until the Chargers, you know, had the punt block 42 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 1: and then on the next possession had a ball ricochet 43 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 1: off and helmet for an interception, and then the failure 44 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,240 Speaker 1: on fourth and fourth down. It was just like one 45 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 1: after another, like, oh my gosh, are they gonna blow this? 46 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 1: But Herbert delivers late drama. Steelers probably not gonna make 47 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,919 Speaker 1: the playoffs now, although you kind of knew that heading in. 48 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 1: They're just in a perilous spot. They're not a good 49 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 1: football team. Um, but what's even crazier And we're gonna 50 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 1: really hammer them later because I know the Bills mafia 51 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 1: is is really nervous and sketched out. If the season 52 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 1: ends today, obviously it doesn't, the Buffalo Bills would be 53 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: the seventh seed in the playoffs seven. It was a 54 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,800 Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago we were talking about, oh, field advantage, 55 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 1: You're gonna have to go through the Bills mafia and 56 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 1: the table jumping Yahoo's in the snow in January and February. 57 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,079 Speaker 1: Buffalos on the march are gonna be the number one seed, 58 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 1: Like I'm gonna get to the Bills in a sect. 59 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:09,520 Speaker 1: But I'm just telling you right now, their schedule, they 60 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 1: could miss the playoffs Buffalo. That's how sketchy they are 61 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,240 Speaker 1: right now. I know Bills fans are panicking, but I 62 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 1: thought after Chargers Steelers, which kind of rebounded and saved 63 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 1: what was an ugly day of football, a lot of 64 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 1: not good contests, non competitive games. Uh, Chiefs Cowboys was 65 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 1: was like supposed to be the big marquee game. Remember 66 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,919 Speaker 1: we talked about that total. It started like fifty and 67 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 1: went up to I think the fifty seven. Everybody and 68 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 1: their mom and their dad and their dog were betting 69 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 1: the over. And of course it was a defensive game. 70 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 1: And you're watching that, and I don't think you can 71 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 1: have any takeaway other than the Kansas City Chiefs have 72 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: become a defensive football team. They are now winning games 73 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 1: with their defense and the offense is the big question mark. 74 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 1: And it's unbelievable how this flips. The NFL season has 75 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 1: been just chaos, which we love. I think that's why 76 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 1: everybody loves it. We talked about this last Monday, but 77 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 1: if you look closely at the Chiefs and I've I 78 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 1: started to do a deep dive as the Steelers were 79 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 1: getting smashed on Sunday night. They went from being a 80 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 1: historically bad defense could not stop a nosebleed. Everybody going 81 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,279 Speaker 1: up and down the field on him. It was halftime 82 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 1: against the Titans when they were down I think twenty 83 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,160 Speaker 1: seven nothing that they did not let the Titans score 84 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,920 Speaker 1: in the second half. The next game they came out 85 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:28,920 Speaker 1: and they really, you know, largely were good defensively. I 86 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,599 Speaker 1: think that was against the Giants, and you know, you 87 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:33,599 Speaker 1: keep looking and you pull on that thread a little 88 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,279 Speaker 1: more and you're like, okay, they held Jordan's love and check. 89 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 1: Not that impressive, all right. They bottled up Derek Carr 90 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 1: and the Raiders, who are obviously a mess. Look at 91 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 1: what happened. They've bence the Bengals, and you can make 92 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,159 Speaker 1: all these excuses that, well, the Chiefs got lucky, and 93 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 1: you could even say, well, Dallas was missing Amari Cooper 94 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 1: because he's not vaccinated and now he's got to miss 95 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,680 Speaker 1: two games. Um and then ceedee Lamb hits his head 96 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 1: on the turf of scary stuff and he got a concussion. 97 00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 1: He was knocked out, and Zeke was out for a 98 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,479 Speaker 1: little bit, and it's like they're missing everybody Tyron Smith 99 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 1: didn't play, and you can make these excuses, but then 100 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 1: the problem is you can make that excuse for almost 101 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,479 Speaker 1: any team in the league. That's why we love the NFL. 102 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,279 Speaker 1: There's just madness happening everywhere, and all of a sudden, 103 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,840 Speaker 1: the Chiefs are like bottling up the Cowboys offense. I 104 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 1: saw that that the Cowboys had scored two or more 105 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 1: touchdowns in every game of the season. They didn't find 106 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 1: the end zone once against Casey, like Kansas City caused 107 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,479 Speaker 1: two red zone turnovers. They made Dak fumble. Cowboys offense 108 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 1: look mortal. And now I fear the Cowboys. Remember they 109 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 1: were like headed towards maybe a number one seed. They're 110 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:38,280 Speaker 1: gonna be really shorthanded a receiver on Thanksgiving Week, and 111 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,040 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, here comes the Eagles. And like 112 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,360 Speaker 1: the NFL, just when you think you know anything about 113 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 1: the NFL anything, it's just completely the flip. The script 114 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 1: gets flipped, and it's like, jeez, do I really know anything? 115 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 1: And folks, I just cannot get over this Kansas City 116 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 1: Chiefs defense. I mean, you look at the schedule now, 117 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 1: and we do this all the time. Every Monday. It's 118 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:01,840 Speaker 1: one of the biggest podcasts of the week because you 119 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,359 Speaker 1: guys want to know what the reaction is. And the 120 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 1: reaction is like every three weeks everything changes radically. I mean, 121 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 1: you know, the Cardinals were rolling, and then it's like, oh, 122 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 1: they gotta called Colte McCoy, and well, Colt McCoy goes 123 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,040 Speaker 1: on the road and beats the fourt Niners, and then 124 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,159 Speaker 1: Colt McCoy gets crushed at home by the Panthers. And 125 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 1: then Colt McCoy goes to Seattle and beats the Seahawks 126 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,280 Speaker 1: with a masterful game, and you're like, oh, now they 127 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 1: get to buy and then Kyler Murray okay, and you 128 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 1: got Aaron Rodgers complaining about his toe the aforementioned Buffalo 129 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,479 Speaker 1: Bills and just to go back to the Chiefs quickly, 130 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 1: like they got Edwards Hilaire off of I R and 131 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:40,839 Speaker 1: he had like, you know, sixty yards or whatever. But 132 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,160 Speaker 1: it was a new wrinkle that they can do. So 133 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 1: Kansas City went from in the span of I don't 134 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:49,599 Speaker 1: know five six weeks from being offensive juggernaut that just 135 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 1: keeps turning the ball over at an alarming rate and 136 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:55,159 Speaker 1: has no defense too. Oh, they now have a run game. 137 00:06:56,120 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 1: Edwards Laron Williams and the defense is stopping people and 138 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 1: they are kind of Belichick I in if you will, 139 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:08,920 Speaker 1: because you remember Belichick for those two decades kept reinventing 140 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 1: New England. They would be, uh, game manager Tom Brady team. 141 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 1: And then they went with the two tight ends that 142 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 1: were just blowing away the league with Gronk and Aaron Hernanez. 143 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 1: And then they went, let's air it out with Randy 144 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 1: Moss and one of the highest scoring offenses the league 145 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 1: has ever seen. That we're gonna be Corey Dillon and 146 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 1: a ground attack. Uh. And then we're gonna create this 147 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 1: slot receiver thing with West Welker and Julian Edelman and 148 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 1: um whoever the others Smurphy White guys are that I 149 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 1: keep forgetting. But like they kept changing and then they 150 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 1: were a defensive team one year, and that's kind of 151 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 1: what you have to do. I don't know if I've 152 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 1: seen a team change three times in the span of 153 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,679 Speaker 1: two months, but like, that's where we are. The Chief's 154 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 1: offense right now, guys is just not looking good. Mahomes 155 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 1: against largely the two deep safeties could could complete nothing. Um. 156 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 1: But then again on the other side, it was like 157 00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 1: Doc in the offense once you take out Mario puper 158 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 1: no ability to stretch the field and Lamb goes down. 159 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 1: They didn't have one explosive past the entire game against 160 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 1: the Kansas City defense that couldn't stop anybody a month ago, 161 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 1: and it fl is just absolutely crazy. I want to 162 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 1: end on um one other note before we move on 163 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. Okay, you guys know I'm a Jets 164 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 1: fan and I loved during the good Mark Sanchez Rex 165 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 1: Ryan days to say, oh the Jets, Jets are the 166 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 1: best team in New York. The Bills are the third 167 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 1: best as usual, because you know, since Jim Kelly, Thurman, 168 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,040 Speaker 1: Thomas Andre Reid left, the Bills were pretty much garbage. 169 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 1: And then it was like, oh they got Josh Allen. 170 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,320 Speaker 1: He's he's no good. And then Josh Allen last year 171 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,040 Speaker 1: was basically the m v P of the league. He 172 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,080 Speaker 1: was incredible, and it was like, Oh, we're set for 173 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,839 Speaker 1: another decade and the Jets are screwed, you guys, We're 174 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 1: gonna run rough shot. And if you remember last year, 175 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:51,320 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills lost to the Chiefs twice and then 176 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 1: one to Arizona and then one to Tennessee they went 177 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 1: thirteen and three in the regular season, and I remember 178 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,320 Speaker 1: looking at their schedule and saying, I can't find three 179 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 1: losses this year. I can't care. Can you find four 180 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:07,960 Speaker 1: losses on the schedule? Folks? They're in danger of missing 181 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 1: the playoffs. Buffalo Bills fans take a deep breath. I 182 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 1: know it's Thanksgiving week. You don't want to stress. They've 183 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:15,839 Speaker 1: lost three or five. They are now half a game 184 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 1: back of the Patriots. Yes, the Patriots in the a 185 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 1: f C East. They play them twice in the next 186 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 1: five weeks. Okay, Josh Allen crumbled under pressure from the Colts. 187 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 1: I think I saw stat He was pressured on eight 188 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 1: of his twenty dropbacks in the first half and was 189 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 1: a complete nightmare. Uh. The as we've said, the Buffalo 190 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 1: Bills have zero running game whatsoever. If the offensive line 191 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 1: isn't clicking, it's really really bad and it just puts 192 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,200 Speaker 1: pressure on Alan to deliver and Listen, the weather wasn't great, 193 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 1: they had a bunch of drops and oh now they 194 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,080 Speaker 1: have a short week and have to travel to New Orleans, 195 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,320 Speaker 1: which is coming off a butt kicking of their own 196 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 1: by a team that could run the football. And the Eagles, 197 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 1: So can Buffalo take advantage of that? Oh, and you've 198 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:00,680 Speaker 1: got one of the domes short week. Oh that stinks. 199 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 1: And then oh yeah, by the way, have fun with 200 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 1: the Patriots. And after that, you just have to play 201 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,320 Speaker 1: Tom Brady in Tampa, which you know, at the beginning 202 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 1: of the season there could be a Super Bowl preview. 203 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,400 Speaker 1: It's now gonna be the Buffalo Bills fighting for their 204 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,719 Speaker 1: playoff lives. And I'm sure some Laker fans are like, 205 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,760 Speaker 1: j You're ten minutes into the pod and you haven't 206 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 1: mentioned Lebron James getting ejected for an elbow and a 207 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 1: fight with Isaiah Steward and Russell Westbrook squaring up and 208 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,080 Speaker 1: Rob g all I've got to say is listen. I 209 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 1: like the NBA. I had fun with those highlights. I 210 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 1: saw them on Sunday night. But the NFL is just 211 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,560 Speaker 1: so bananas right now. I don't know how to make 212 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 1: sense of it. And that's what the people want. You 213 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 1: gotta give them what they want, right Oh yeah, and 214 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 1: you know, I know people wanted to see Lebron get 215 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 1: his ass kicked. You know, anyone that not a Laker fan, 216 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 1: they they didn't get it. They didn't get it. I mean, 217 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 1: I will say kudos to Isaiah Stewart Reel actually looking 218 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,720 Speaker 1: like he was ready to throw hands. You know, unlike 219 00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:58,719 Speaker 1: most NBA players these days, like we talked about it 220 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago, guys they have stored if 221 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 1: there was not nine guys in between him and Lebron, 222 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 1: we would have sent some fisticuffs there By the way 223 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 1: Lakers came back and won. That that's Rockney Davis. It was. 224 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,320 Speaker 1: It was payback for two thousand four after what they 225 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,559 Speaker 1: were rob You probably were not paying. You were probably 226 00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,200 Speaker 1: not paying much attention to that. Since your Raiders are 227 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 1: in as big of a funk as anybody right now. 228 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,440 Speaker 1: And I spot started your guy cars thinking oh he'll 229 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 1: take advantage of the Bengals secondary and uh, Derek Carr, 230 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 1: it looks like just a guy. He's a jag right now. 231 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:32,680 Speaker 1: And I don't know if there's as if there's a 232 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 1: more lifeless team than my Jets right now, it's gotta 233 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,319 Speaker 1: be your Raiders. What's going on with them? There's that, 234 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,560 Speaker 1: there's there's nothing, there's no energy, nothing. Well, I mean 235 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:42,680 Speaker 1: for you to ask what's going on with them tells 236 00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 1: me you haven't been reading the internets for like the 237 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:46,720 Speaker 1: last month or so. I mean, we had a coach 238 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:52,960 Speaker 1: embroiled in a misogynistic and racist email scandal. We had 239 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 1: a defensive back pull a gun out on I g 240 00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,679 Speaker 1: and and threatened to shoot a random fan, and we 241 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 1: had our star receiver actually kill somebody. So, you know, 242 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 1: the fact that we're even five dred at this point 243 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,079 Speaker 1: should be a minor victory. I mean, Derek Carr, for 244 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,920 Speaker 1: all of his faults, you know that they're not a 245 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 1: complete dumpster fire. They're not the Detroit Lions at this point, 246 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,079 Speaker 1: he deserves not only to be in the Pro Bowl, 247 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 1: he should be a national holiday at this point that 248 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,960 Speaker 1: we're even five and five, Fox Sports Radio has the 249 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,920 Speaker 1: best sports talk lineup in the nation.

Speaking of the Detroit Lions, UM one of 253 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:37,960 Speaker 1: my few misses. It was a great Sunday and gambling 254 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:42,840 Speaker 1: although a brick done one thing. Um Cleveland Brown's favored 255 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:47,600 Speaker 1: by eleven. Um Baker Mayfield shut his pants basically the 256 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 1: entire second half, and I'm sorry, Kevin Savanskay just a 257 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,520 Speaker 1: p s A to Kevin Stefanski, You've got to sit 258 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,079 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield. He can't make the throws. They were booing 259 00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 1: him off the field. You lad thirteen nothing. The offense 260 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 1: went into a shell. BA can't make any throws. I 261 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 1: know it's in his non throwing shoulder, but Baker really 262 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 1: can't make basic throws. His whole body just seems wrecked, 263 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 1: Like why is he out there? Put case Keenum out there. 264 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 1: Browns get lucky hold on win but don't cover. And 265 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:18,480 Speaker 1: I had them in Survivor. By the way, remember I 266 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:22,160 Speaker 1: talked all week Tennessee or Brown's Tennessee or Brown's and 267 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 1: this is like, luckily I did not pull the Tennessee 268 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 1: lever Tennessee gets smoked. Um, there's zero chance they're the 269 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:30,960 Speaker 1: best team in the a f C despite having the 270 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:34,719 Speaker 1: best record. Um, we're down to fifty eight I think 271 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 1: fifty seven fifty eight people in my Survivor league. And 272 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,839 Speaker 1: my buddy told me the winner gets eighty two dollars um. 273 00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:45,720 Speaker 1: So this is like, I'm way into Survivor at this point, 274 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:49,560 Speaker 1: and I'm probably talk every day this week about Week 275 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:51,720 Speaker 1: twelve in the NFL because Robert, I don't know if 276 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:55,560 Speaker 1: you looked at the schedule. It is absolutely brutal. There 277 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 1: are no point spreads whatsoever over a touchdown. And the 278 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,720 Speaker 1: only Big Ones or Dallas in New England, and everybody 279 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:04,200 Speaker 1: in their moms used both of them, and I have 280 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:07,040 Speaker 1: as well. So I mean it could be like Chicago 281 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 1: Bears in the Andy Dalton versus uh not even David Blow. 282 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:14,520 Speaker 1: What's the guy's named, Tim Boyle? Did you see any 283 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:16,520 Speaker 1: of that, Rob, by the way, I did not. I 284 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:18,840 Speaker 1: can honestly, I did not watch a minute of that game. Dude. 285 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 1: I think he had deep into the fourth quarter, like 286 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 1: seventy five passing yards Detroit. I do they are an abomination? 287 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 1: By the way, since we're talking about abominations, Yes, the 288 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 1: Jets lost, Yes, I guaranteed victory. It was foolish. What 289 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 1: was um? I just have to say the Jets. It's 290 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,280 Speaker 1: not all about this week or next week or last week. 291 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 1: It's all about draft and right now, Rob, the Jets 292 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,200 Speaker 1: have the second pick and the fifth pick in the 293 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 1: draft courtesy of Seattle losing to Arizona. And I was 294 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,960 Speaker 1: gonna spend five minutes on the Seahawks pieces of human 295 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 1: garbage who played like crap um and I had them 296 00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 1: in the contest for four million dollar contest, which is 297 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:00,560 Speaker 1: the dumb I went to in who I have the 298 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 1: Giants tonight? Um? But I don't know, Rob, Like the 299 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:07,800 Speaker 1: Jamal Adams trade has to go down as an a 300 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 1: massive heist, does it not. Jamal Adams in the fourth 301 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 1: quarter gets beat for a touchdown that would ice the 302 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,320 Speaker 1: game for Arizona, but then they ruled Christian Kirk kind 303 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:20,200 Speaker 1: of bobbled it no touchdown, so it's third down, end goal. 304 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,760 Speaker 1: And what is Colt McCoy. When Colt McCoy's targeting you, 305 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 1: you got problems. And he targets zach Ertz who's in 306 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 1: coverage by Jamal Adams, and Jamal Adams basically tackles him 307 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,720 Speaker 1: during the past past interference. Arizona scores on the next play. 308 00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,480 Speaker 1: That's a wrap and the Seahawks season is over. There 309 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:44,040 Speaker 1: is no playoffs, Rob Listen, I don't know what's going 310 00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,880 Speaker 1: on with Pete Carroll. They do not look good at all. 311 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 1: They can't move the football. They went from having dk Metcalf, 312 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, and Tyler Lockett to no offense whatsoever. They 313 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 1: can't move the ball. And I don't I mean I 314 00:15:57,720 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 1: know all the talk is Russ leaving, but like, just 315 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 1: Carol really want to come back to this when USC 316 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:06,680 Speaker 1: has no head coach right now, James Franklin's kind of 317 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:09,520 Speaker 1: stumbling here at the end of the season. I I 318 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,640 Speaker 1: really think my Pete Carroll take from a month ago 319 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:13,760 Speaker 1: could be on point. Like do you see Pete Carroll 320 00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 1: returning in Seattle? Something's wrong there. This is a situation 321 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 1: where even if he wants to come back, he can't, 322 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:23,040 Speaker 1: all right, because we already saw last season, the last offseason. 323 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 1: Excuse me that Russell Wilson's upset. Russell Wilson wants more, say, 324 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,720 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson wants to have input on the decisions, and 325 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:33,840 Speaker 1: Pete Carroll notoriously is not that kind of guy. He's 326 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 1: a player's coach, but he's not a player's coach in 327 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:41,720 Speaker 1: that regard. So once this season started the tailspin there, 328 00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 1: there's a decision got to be made by John Schneider. 329 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:48,160 Speaker 1: It's either trade Russ, get your three first rounders and 330 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,720 Speaker 1: your fourth or whatever it is you're gonna get, build 331 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 1: a new and hope Pie Carroll's on board with it, 332 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 1: or Pete Carroll has to go and you just appease 333 00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:00,840 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson in every way pole because how what are 334 00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 1: the chances you're gonna find another franchise quarterback. It's funny 335 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,320 Speaker 1: a lot of Seattle people are saying Russ doesn't want 336 00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 1: to be there, we should trade him, and it's like, 337 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,120 Speaker 1: I know, like, okay, he's a Hall of Famer, he's 338 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:15,440 Speaker 1: won a super Bowl, the greatest player in franchise history, 339 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,560 Speaker 1: all that stuff. I just still think the idea of 340 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:21,719 Speaker 1: trading him without having someone waiting in the wings is asinine. 341 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,280 Speaker 1: I don't know how you can pivot on the fly, 342 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:27,720 Speaker 1: but you gotta give this one last chance, don't you. 343 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:31,600 Speaker 1: Russ Metcalfine Lockett, when you blow something, you just mentioned 344 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:35,119 Speaker 1: that you're two minutes ago. The Jamal Adams trade was 345 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:36,919 Speaker 1: such a debacle for them that they gave up their 346 00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:39,600 Speaker 1: first round picks. You know, they do have Russ, they 347 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 1: got metcalf, they got locked it, and not a whole 348 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:43,720 Speaker 1: heck a lot else. I don't think the offensive line 349 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,320 Speaker 1: is very good. Chris Carson is okay, but you know, 350 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 1: I don't think he's anything to write home about. And 351 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:53,360 Speaker 1: that defense has fallen off the proverbial cliff. So they 352 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,560 Speaker 1: have a lot of holes up and down that roster, 353 00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:57,280 Speaker 1: and if you want to remake it in any kind 354 00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,280 Speaker 1: of way, if you want to have some sustained success, 355 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,840 Speaker 1: then your best asset is to just trade Russell Wilson. 356 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:06,879 Speaker 1: And I hope you can rebuild that way. But the 357 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:12,919 Speaker 1: problem is Seattle is not Detroit. Seattle is not you know, 358 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,639 Speaker 1: the Jets, sorry, the Raiders for me. You know, like 359 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:19,520 Speaker 1: they're they're not a team that is used to being mediocre. 360 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:22,920 Speaker 1: They I think they haven't missed the playoffs since Russell 361 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,680 Speaker 1: Wilson has been there, right, something like that, And so 362 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:28,479 Speaker 1: I don't know if the fan base is really going 363 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:30,920 Speaker 1: to be on board with a total rebuild like that 364 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:36,720 Speaker 1: one of them. When they got Russ, they were gonna 365 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:38,880 Speaker 1: do a total rebuild. They got like a backup quarterback 366 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:42,159 Speaker 1: from the Packers, Matt Flint, thank you. He had like 367 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,720 Speaker 1: an awesome games Week seventeen game or I guess week 368 00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 1: sixteen back in the day, and he had like four 369 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,960 Speaker 1: yards five touchdowns and then Seattle went out and signed him. 370 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:52,600 Speaker 1: But like a month later, they drafted Russ in the 371 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 1: third round, and like they were supposed to move on 372 00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:56,879 Speaker 1: from hassleback and there was a lot of questions. It 373 00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:00,280 Speaker 1: can be tough, and they lucked into Russ and they 374 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,200 Speaker 1: never look back. Well, they gonna have to pull a 375 00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 1: rabbit out of a hat again. I don't know that 376 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:07,840 Speaker 1: that's duplicate herble is if that's even a word. Um. 377 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:09,919 Speaker 1: I really would love to go through every game, Like, 378 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:13,200 Speaker 1: can I just complain that Aaron Rodgers is a whiny 379 00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:19,159 Speaker 1: little b I like after he was freaking amazing. I mean, 380 00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:21,720 Speaker 1: he was great in that game. I don't have his 381 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:23,760 Speaker 1: numbers in front of me, but a lot of touchdowns, 382 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,520 Speaker 1: many many yards should have won the game, but his 383 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:28,320 Speaker 1: defense couldn't get a stop and we knew that was 384 00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:31,840 Speaker 1: gonna happen. Vikings were very live there. And he's complaining 385 00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:35,200 Speaker 1: about his toe after the game, Rob, Like, dude, what 386 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:39,840 Speaker 1: are you talking about? Immobile? I just don't get it. 387 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:41,639 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure he's injured and the toe is 388 00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,399 Speaker 1: not fun, and I'm sure people are gonna DM me 389 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:46,600 Speaker 1: on the I G Jason, you have no idea what 390 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,480 Speaker 1: the toe? I get it. Look at how amazing he 391 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 1: was with the busted toe. Okay, they lost another offensive lineman. 392 00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:58,320 Speaker 1: Rams come to town this week. Interesting game, Stafford, it's 393 00:19:58,320 --> 00:19:59,840 Speaker 1: a big one for him and now he knows that 394 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,720 Speaker 1: stadium well from playing with the Lions forever. Um. I 395 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,360 Speaker 1: don't think the cold weather is going to bother him. 396 00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:08,440 Speaker 1: But this is a big, huge game for Stafford in 397 00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 1: the Rams. UM. I don't know, Rob, what did we really? 398 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,639 Speaker 1: Did I miss anything that I really wanted to hit on? Oh? Oh, 399 00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:16,760 Speaker 1: last thing before we get the best bed for Monday 400 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:21,320 Speaker 1: Night football. UM. I feel like for four straight Mondays 401 00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:24,840 Speaker 1: we've been asking, maybe five, so who's the MVP leader? 402 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:29,240 Speaker 1: And I had some notes that I'm jotting down as 403 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:32,000 Speaker 1: I'm watching Sunday Night Football. I'm like, MVP leader. And 404 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,520 Speaker 1: then You're like, well, Josh Allen is definitely not going 405 00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:37,119 Speaker 1: to win the m v P. Um Lamar Jackson misses 406 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:41,480 Speaker 1: a game, Raven survived, Kyler Murray hurt again. Um, Aaron 407 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:45,119 Speaker 1: Rodgers was great but lost. Uh. And then you I 408 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:47,760 Speaker 1: think I wrote down in all caps, you can't win 409 00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:50,879 Speaker 1: or lose the m v P in Week eleven, and 410 00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 1: then I wrote down Jonathan Taylor who had five touchdowns. 411 00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 1: My son took a brutal, brutal fantasy loss where he 412 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,879 Speaker 1: was the second highest scoring team in the league and 413 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,879 Speaker 1: he faced the highest scoring team which had Jonathan Taylor, 414 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:09,480 Speaker 1: and it was like, you can have an amazing day, 415 00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:12,800 Speaker 1: play amazing, put up huge numbers and still lose because 416 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 1: of a fifty burger from Jonathan Taylor. Here's the problem 417 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:20,240 Speaker 1: with the Jonathan Taylor as m VP nod. He's only 418 00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:23,919 Speaker 1: getting incredible because the offensive line has gotten healthy. Do 419 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,440 Speaker 1: you remember at the start of the season, the offensive 420 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 1: line was missing the left tackle, this shore was coming 421 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:33,280 Speaker 1: off the injury, Nelson was banged up. They had questions 422 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:36,199 Speaker 1: all over the line. We'll guess we're now past the 423 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:39,159 Speaker 1: midway point of the season. The offensive line is supremely healthy. 424 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,520 Speaker 1: Although Nelson did go down and the third have to 425 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,480 Speaker 1: check his situation because he's obviously huge to that offensive 426 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:48,159 Speaker 1: line and they're just bullying people and blowing them off 427 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:51,679 Speaker 1: the ball, and Jonathan Taylor is putting up ridiculous numbers. 428 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 1: I can't give an MVP to a guy who's behind 429 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 1: an incredible offensive line, at least right now. I can't. 430 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:00,439 Speaker 1: I'm sure people will say, well, what a out, So 431 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 1: what does that eliminate every running back ever will not really? 432 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 1: I mean Ladanian Thomlinson did a lot of damage through 433 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 1: the air and didn't really. I mean I have to check, Like, 434 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:12,119 Speaker 1: I don't think he had historically great offensive lines with 435 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:16,800 Speaker 1: the Chargers, but Taylor has been incredible. Maybe he would 436 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 1: be like Offensive Player of the Year, but the m 437 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:22,360 Speaker 1: v P has to be a quarterback, I think. Um. 438 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:25,080 Speaker 1: And the problem is, like I keep coming back to 439 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:27,879 Speaker 1: Brady and Rogers. I I know some people are gonna say, 440 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,760 Speaker 1: what about Kirk Cousins one touchdowns, two picks, that's the 441 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:34,439 Speaker 1: best TVD interception in the league. Okay, Um, they might 442 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 1: miss the playoffs, you know. I know it's been some 443 00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:38,879 Speaker 1: dumb luck and you can't hold that against them, But 444 00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:42,440 Speaker 1: I mean, who's gonna be You're gonna win the m 445 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 1: v P and you didn't even make the playoffs. Um, 446 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,280 Speaker 1: I think Doc could be hurting. Uh if they don't 447 00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 1: have Lamb again and Cooper. I don't want to hear 448 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:54,840 Speaker 1: Josh Allen's name again, Honestly, I don't. Patrick Malmes has 449 00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:57,320 Speaker 1: a lot of work to do given the turnovers he's 450 00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:01,479 Speaker 1: had this season, and like he been amazing and the 451 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:03,680 Speaker 1: bar is super high for him, so it's just gonna 452 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,440 Speaker 1: be tough. I don't know, Rob, I'm almost burnt out 453 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:08,399 Speaker 1: of the m v P discussion if that even makes sense, 454 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:11,600 Speaker 1: because there's nobody who's separated themselves, kind of like the 455 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:15,280 Speaker 1: teams where there's no dominant team. That's fair. I mean, 456 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,200 Speaker 1: I will say that it's a little bit not even disappointing, 457 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,120 Speaker 1: because I think you're right in that in the NFL 458 00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:24,720 Speaker 1: there is not a single player. I don't care if 459 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:27,160 Speaker 1: it's Aaron Donald, who I think is the best player 460 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 1: in football, who is more valuable than any quarterback, like 461 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:34,360 Speaker 1: you know, Jonathan Taylor, who I think is fantastic, who 462 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:36,879 Speaker 1: let me just read you his his game log the 463 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:41,399 Speaker 1: last few weeks, okay, and four touchdowns one sixteen and 464 00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:46,240 Speaker 1: a touchdown one s two touchdowns, sit off day seventy 465 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,399 Speaker 1: and another touchdown one oh seven and a touchdown one 466 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:51,240 Speaker 1: five two touchdowns. I mean, this guy has been on 467 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:55,399 Speaker 1: an absolute tear since October. So kudos to him, and 468 00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,480 Speaker 1: he deserves all the accolades he's been getting, and he 469 00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:00,560 Speaker 1: deserves to be mentioned at least in the m v 470 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:05,080 Speaker 1: P race. Cooper Cup, having arguably the greatest receiving season 471 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,639 Speaker 1: in NFL history, at least statistically, does not belong in 472 00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:13,240 Speaker 1: the m v P discussion. So did you see he 473 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:19,400 Speaker 1: turned into a running back. I did see the fantasy team. Um, 474 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:21,600 Speaker 1: oh you have Wilson. I mean Wilson and ninet team 475 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:25,560 Speaker 1: carries um but Deebo like they're not throwing to him now, 476 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,800 Speaker 1: so he's running. I mean he's He's had an incredible 477 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:30,080 Speaker 1: season right there with the Cup. I think he was 478 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:32,439 Speaker 1: second in the league in receiving yards and then had 479 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:36,320 Speaker 1: like one catch Sunday. Um. By the way, Niners, remember 480 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:38,800 Speaker 1: I talked openly last week, Oh, I would love Jacksonville 481 00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:40,639 Speaker 1: to get a seven. Luckily it didn't go to seven 482 00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:42,240 Speaker 1: because I would have lost a lot of money on 483 00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:45,880 Speaker 1: the Jags. Um Ers looked pretty good. It's weird mand 484 00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 1: the this extra week and this extra playoff team has 485 00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:53,880 Speaker 1: just added a ton of great drama to the league roup. 486 00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,080 Speaker 1: I know people hated it and the players don't like it, 487 00:24:56,320 --> 00:25:00,600 Speaker 1: but the excitement and the addition of so many more 488 00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:02,000 Speaker 1: teams into the mix, like you can go on a 489 00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:03,840 Speaker 1: four game, I think, didn't the Colts start owing four 490 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:08,639 Speaker 1: something like that? And now they've turned it around and 491 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 1: they're right back in the mix. There's six and five 492 00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:13,720 Speaker 1: and they're in the hunt for a playoff spot. I mean, 493 00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 1: the Browns have been bad. The Steelers have a tie, 494 00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:19,000 Speaker 1: like Bengals went through a losing streak. Like adding a 495 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:22,119 Speaker 1: seventeenth game means that really nobody's out of it. We 496 00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 1: have talked about when the Titans won against the Colts. 497 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,040 Speaker 1: They swept the Colts, I think, and after the second one, 498 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,400 Speaker 1: I was like, oh, the division is sewn up. Well, 499 00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:35,240 Speaker 1: Derrick Henry gets hurt. Uh, the Tennessee offense has gone 500 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:38,119 Speaker 1: into the tank, like they cannot move the football guys 501 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:41,480 Speaker 1: Julio Jones and the I r um A J. Brown 502 00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:44,000 Speaker 1: I think got hurt in that game. And you look 503 00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:48,480 Speaker 1: up and it's like nineteen zero Houston and Tennessee just 504 00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:50,680 Speaker 1: not built to come back. I don't know how they 505 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,520 Speaker 1: can salvage. Is Adrian Peterson ain't the guy? Just so 506 00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:56,560 Speaker 1: you know, um so like I don't even know if. 507 00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:58,200 Speaker 1: I mean, we talked about the Titans being the number 508 00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:01,360 Speaker 1: one seed, schedules favorable. I'm not putting. I'm not saying 509 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:04,240 Speaker 1: there's any layups now for anybody in this league. Really. 510 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:07,120 Speaker 1: I mean, the Texans are winning, the Titans have lost 511 00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:11,040 Speaker 1: to the Jets, and the Texans like this league is 512 00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:13,480 Speaker 1: just it's crazy. I mean, the Baltimore Ravens are seven 513 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:18,959 Speaker 1: and three. Rob plus seventeen point differential. That's it. I mean, 514 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,040 Speaker 1: they're winning. Get. I still can't believe they pulled off 515 00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:22,880 Speaker 1: that game in Chicago, But I digress. All right, let's 516 00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:26,200 Speaker 1: get to the Is there anything we missed? Rob? Uh? 517 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:30,080 Speaker 1: Speaking of if you mentioned Cam Newton, I mean they 518 00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:32,760 Speaker 1: lost so yeah. I mean did you see the quotes 519 00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:36,159 Speaker 1: from the coach after the game, like, uh, you know, 520 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:38,720 Speaker 1: Cam's our starter, but he didn't really have a firm 521 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 1: grasp on the two minute drill. We worked on a 522 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:42,880 Speaker 1: lot of stuff. We didn't really work on that. I mean, 523 00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:46,440 Speaker 1: I'm paraphrasing that rule. And if you're wondering why Carolina 524 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:49,840 Speaker 1: had the ball twice in the final four minutes sputtered 525 00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:52,080 Speaker 1: on fourth down, was because Cam just didn't really know 526 00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 1: what he was doing. He threw short of the sticks 527 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:57,200 Speaker 1: on one and then took a sack on the other. Dude, 528 00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:00,960 Speaker 1: veteran quarterback, Those are two basic bay sick fourth down place, 529 00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:03,520 Speaker 1: can't throws your the sticks, cannot eat this act. Yeah, 530 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:05,399 Speaker 1: but he also doesn't know the playbook yet. He's been 531 00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:07,879 Speaker 1: there for a week. Which did you turn to p 532 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 1: J Walker with four minutes left? It's not like you 533 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,359 Speaker 1: know Odell because he can play, because he's a receiver, 534 00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:15,000 Speaker 1: has a no X a number of plays. If you're 535 00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:16,560 Speaker 1: a quarterback, you have to know all the plays and 536 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:22,040 Speaker 1: have a run a what are they called wildcat with McCaffrey. Oh, 537 00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:26,040 Speaker 1: that would have been nice. Honestly, Cam throwing the ball, man, 538 00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:28,680 Speaker 1: I will be fading Carolina if he has to throw 539 00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:30,480 Speaker 1: the ball this bunch again. Um, they did, They did 540 00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:32,000 Speaker 1: pretty well. Taylor Heineke, by the way, it was the 541 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,959 Speaker 1: best quarterback on the field in that game. Heneke can 542 00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:37,639 Speaker 1: play a little bit, dude. He had a really solid 543 00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,480 Speaker 1: game against a good Panthers defense. All Right, we've prattled 544 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:43,000 Speaker 1: on long enough. Um, let's do the best bet here. 545 00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:46,399 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 546 00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:49,400 Speaker 1: the nation.

The only thing 549 00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:01,320 Speaker 1: better than sitting on your couch watching the game. He's 550 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:07,040 Speaker 1: making money while you do it. Here's your best bat, Rob. 551 00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:09,480 Speaker 1: I I almost would gloss over this game, but I 552 00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:11,320 Speaker 1: already told you guys. I took it plus eleven and 553 00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:16,359 Speaker 1: the contest and the logic is yeah, kind of sound. 554 00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,600 Speaker 1: Giants was we know better on the road than they 555 00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:21,720 Speaker 1: are at home. And I cannot get over the Tom 556 00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:26,440 Speaker 1: Brady winless sorry, winless against the spread in prime time 557 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:28,919 Speaker 1: and because last like nine games, I don't know if 558 00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:32,359 Speaker 1: it's a whole bedtime thing. Ha ha ha. He's forty 559 00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:38,760 Speaker 1: four and olds back. Um, these primetime games just get 560 00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:41,120 Speaker 1: a little crazy. And remember that the Giants went to 561 00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:44,680 Speaker 1: Casey and covered the spread. Eleven is a big number. 562 00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:48,520 Speaker 1: Now Tampa does murder teams at home. They're gonna be 563 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:52,640 Speaker 1: without um Antonio Brown again, no Grounk again. I don't 564 00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:55,520 Speaker 1: know what's up with Godwin. I think the Giants could 565 00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:58,280 Speaker 1: cover eleven. Rob Now, the last time I had one 566 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:00,920 Speaker 1: of these big underdogs it was San fran Rams. You 567 00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:04,240 Speaker 1: told me I was a buffoon. Are you taking Tampo 568 00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:08,280 Speaker 1: given eleven points? Yes, in this situation, I am. I 569 00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:10,680 Speaker 1: feel like this is one of those games where Tom 570 00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:14,480 Speaker 1: was gonna try to send a message. Um. As funny 571 00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:16,600 Speaker 1: as it sounds with se Kwon being back, he's supposed 572 00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:18,440 Speaker 1: to be back. I believe tonight with the New York 573 00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:22,040 Speaker 1: I I'd like their offense a little bit less because 574 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:24,000 Speaker 1: I feel like they just kind of run him up 575 00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:26,120 Speaker 1: the middle, run him up the middle, and he's good 576 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:29,480 Speaker 1: for a one yard game, negative to two yard game 577 00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:32,240 Speaker 1: one year again and big like a sixty. And I 578 00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:33,960 Speaker 1: don't think you'll be able to get that again to 579 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,520 Speaker 1: the Bucks front. So I like Tampa to win going away. 580 00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:40,720 Speaker 1: Interesting nugget. If I am in the NFC East, right, 581 00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:42,840 Speaker 1: Dallas was running away with the division. Now they're all 582 00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:46,280 Speaker 1: banged up, they lose, they look bad. Okay, two of 583 00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:48,239 Speaker 1: the last three weeks they looked pretty bad. They look 584 00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:50,720 Speaker 1: bad against the Broncos. And then now the Eagles have 585 00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:53,120 Speaker 1: won two in a row, Washington's won two in a row, 586 00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:56,680 Speaker 1: and the Giants are coming off will win Giants get 587 00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:58,680 Speaker 1: to four and six, And if you look at the 588 00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:02,000 Speaker 1: Cowboys schedule, they have a lot of games in the 589 00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:05,280 Speaker 1: division to close out the season all of a sudden, 590 00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:09,000 Speaker 1: if the Giants can steal a win here, I don't 591 00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:10,560 Speaker 1: want to say they're in the mix to win the 592 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:15,400 Speaker 1: division or anything, but you do have some questions. Like 593 00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:22,360 Speaker 1: Dallas final five games, they play Washington twice, Giants, Eagles, 594 00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:26,760 Speaker 1: Cardinals at the Saints, and you're like, oh, if Dallas 595 00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:30,479 Speaker 1: can stumble here and Rob as we've said for the 596 00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:34,760 Speaker 1: entire podcast, anybody at this juncture can stumble. I don't 597 00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:37,640 Speaker 1: have I have no confidence in anyone. I don't see 598 00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:40,200 Speaker 1: why Washington can't kind of one of those rally the 599 00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:43,040 Speaker 1: troops games, show up, get a couple of good plays 600 00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:45,600 Speaker 1: from Danny Dimes on the road, and maybe steal a 601 00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:50,360 Speaker 1: win in Tampa. Mm hmm, I mean Tampa just went 602 00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:53,920 Speaker 1: to Washington and did not look good. Brady early turnovers, 603 00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,520 Speaker 1: I mean today got beat by Taylor Heinekey. I could 604 00:30:56,600 --> 00:31:00,000 Speaker 1: argue that the Giants have better weapons offensively than Washington did. 605 00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:05,280 Speaker 1: I mean, Terry mclaurin's a superstar, but you know, Golladay, Barkley, 606 00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:07,840 Speaker 1: the kid, Darius, Tony should be back, Like I think 607 00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:09,840 Speaker 1: the Giants could be live here. That secondary for Tampa 608 00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:11,760 Speaker 1: is not very good. Look, you know, I hate Tom 609 00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:15,120 Speaker 1: Brady more than almost anybody this side of Rob Parker 610 00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:20,360 Speaker 1: and Max Kellerman. But he does not have multiple bad 611 00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:22,440 Speaker 1: games in a row. He just doesn't. So I'm not 612 00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:25,720 Speaker 1: expecting another multi turnover game from Tom. I'm expecting him 613 00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:29,000 Speaker 1: to you know, three hundred plus three touchdowns. And I 614 00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:30,680 Speaker 1: think I said I think Tampa one was going away 615 00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:32,920 Speaker 1: see here's the lot why I hate that logic. I 616 00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:35,200 Speaker 1: said that about Russell Wilson, and I bet see that 617 00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:37,560 Speaker 1: all this past week. They were coming off a shoutout. 618 00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:40,280 Speaker 1: Russ has never lost three games in a row in 619 00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:43,920 Speaker 1: his career or two or whatever the number is. And 620 00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:47,040 Speaker 1: they got destroyed. And Russell Wilson looks he don't he 621 00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:48,800 Speaker 1: don't look like a top ten quarterback now he's coming 622 00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:52,440 Speaker 1: off the injury. But damn Rob, this league who love it? 623 00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:54,760 Speaker 1: And listen? And NBA got a little crazy over the 624 00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:56,520 Speaker 1: weekend where we couldn't touch on her here because it's 625 00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:59,680 Speaker 1: all football. By the way, Michigan State gets are doors 626 00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:03,280 Speaker 1: blown off Michigan Ohio State big game this week? Hardball? 627 00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:06,520 Speaker 1: Like if college football is getting to the point, I 628 00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:11,040 Speaker 1: mean Alabama is looking very sketchy, struggled big time against Arkansas, 629 00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:15,120 Speaker 1: like Cincinnati finally with a big win Cincinnati, rob is 630 00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,440 Speaker 1: getting to that playoff. I know your feel hope, so 631 00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,800 Speaker 1: I hope. So you don't a big Bearcats fan nowadays? 632 00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:22,760 Speaker 1: I left. I love to see chaos and I'd love 633 00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:24,880 Speaker 1: to see them get in and you know, put a 634 00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:27,280 Speaker 1: scare into Georgia. I don't know if they'd win but 635 00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:29,440 Speaker 1: I love to see Georgia. You don't think they'd be 636 00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:32,320 Speaker 1: the three seed? Oh well, we gotta see what happens 637 00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:37,920 Speaker 1: with Alabama, Georgia and the SEC title. I think Michigan, Yeah, 638 00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:42,480 Speaker 1: I think anyways, Alright, folks, thanks for listening. Talk to 639 00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:42,959 Speaker 1: you tomorrow.
