1 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:11,760 Speaker 1: This is straight Fire with Jason McIntyre. What is up? 2 00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:19,280 Speaker 1: Straight fire, fam, It's me Jason McIntyre. Straight fire for Monday, January. 3 00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:23,000 Speaker 1: The super Bowl is set. I know you guys are 4 00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:28,760 Speaker 1: fired up. Basically, the two best teams all season, Chiefs 5 00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:31,600 Speaker 1: and Eagles will meet in the Super Bowl in thirteen 6 00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:34,920 Speaker 1: days from now. Pretty good matchup. Can't complain, right The 7 00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,440 Speaker 1: forty niners were super hot and we'll get to that 8 00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,200 Speaker 1: game later. They just I don't wanna listen. I don't 9 00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,080 Speaker 1: want to get piste off Eagles fan this early in 10 00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 1: the pod, but I mean, the forty nine is the referee. 11 00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 1: It's just all imploded for San fran and they're not 12 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:51,360 Speaker 1: going anywhere. The Eagles are going to the super Bowl. 13 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:53,960 Speaker 1: Asked for Bengals Chiefs. My gosh, you never want to 14 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 1: start Monday going in on referees. Not a good look 15 00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:00,920 Speaker 1: for the refs in Eagles chief By the way, I 16 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:06,240 Speaker 1: know the podcast audience will love this. I skipped my 17 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 1: rec league game to watch Bengals Chiefs. Um I had 18 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 1: talked about it all week on the pod. I was 19 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:15,319 Speaker 1: I coached my son's team. By the way, we played 20 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,559 Speaker 1: another really good team and we beat him. Pretty handily. 21 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,840 Speaker 1: They're they're good, but we just had an awesome game plan. Yes, 22 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,560 Speaker 1: I our best player had like twenty six points, but 23 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,759 Speaker 1: orectly game was against the team. Remember that that guy 24 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:27,560 Speaker 1: last week. When we're walking off the court, he goes, hey, 25 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:29,800 Speaker 1: I've been scouting you, j mackelsee you next week. I've 26 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:31,399 Speaker 1: never seen the guy in my life, but he, you know, 27 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,840 Speaker 1: he knows what's up. So I'm sitting at home watching 28 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 1: UM Bengals Chiefs, which was a really good game. Finally 29 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 1: we got a good game Eagles Niners was unwatchable. In 30 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 1: like the fourth quarter. I text the group text for 31 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 1: our basketball team and I say, can we get a 32 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 1: halftime update? And this guy goes, we're down, and I 33 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 1: was just like, oh my gosh, I'm not there and 34 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 1: we're losing. Of course, they come back and win the 35 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 1: game by three. I cannot watch wait to watch it 36 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 1: today on YouTube. Yes, the games are on YouTube. But 37 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 1: you guys are You didn't come here for that, right, 38 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 1: You came here to hear me proclaim. Patrick Mahomes done 39 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 1: and we don't need to make any bold proclamations. Patrick 40 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,919 Speaker 1: Mahomes came through the referees kind of sort of screwed 41 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,079 Speaker 1: the Bengals. Let's be real. I'm not referee conspiracy guy, 42 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 1: but listen, there were three late calls and all of 43 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 1: them went against the Bengals. Now, the do overplay was 44 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 1: extremely suspicious. I thought the grounding when p Rhyan was 45 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 1: like right there, they called it on Burrow. I know 46 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,679 Speaker 1: it ended up not really mattering because he completed the 47 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 1: pastor hurt, but it just it felt like nothing was 48 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,239 Speaker 1: going Cincinnati's way with the Zebras and when you toss 49 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 1: in by the way, we're not gonna go there Lebron 50 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 1: Celtics on Saturday night. It was just a rough weekend 51 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 1: all around for referees. It's not easy. They don't have 52 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 1: an easy job. But I did think the Bengals got screwed. Ultimately, 53 00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,120 Speaker 1: great game. Chiefs came through in the first half. I 54 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 1: said they would outstanding game plan from Andy Reid, and 55 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 1: then the Bengals the second half Superstars came back. Um, 56 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: it gives us the Andy Reid Bowl, which is kind 57 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: of fitting because Andy Reid. This is weird, guys. Andy 58 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 1: Reid obviously has been one of the great coaches in 59 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,799 Speaker 1: the last With this generation of NFL, he's probably on 60 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 1: the short list of best coaches ever given the success 61 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:24,359 Speaker 1: he had in Philly and now Casey. But I weirdly 62 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 1: have people every week anytime I say something good about 63 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 1: Andy Reid on the podcast or on the Herd, Hey Jay, 64 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 1: how come we don't talk about Andy Reid failing as 65 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 1: a father? Look at his kids, And I'm like, man, 66 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 1: that that's some anger. And I don't know where that 67 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 1: comes from. Obviously, you know Andy Reid's kids had problems. Um, 68 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 1: you could say more than problems. But like, it's just 69 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 1: the weird tear down thing on social media. This is 70 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 1: not I'm not breaking new ground here, but it just 71 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 1: feels weird to like want to go after Andy Reid 72 00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 1: and his family. I don't. I don't know, I totally get. 73 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 1: I thought any read coach a pretty good game. I 74 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 1: thought the biggest screw up late in the game came 75 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 1: from the Bengals when they had to punt with under 76 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 1: a minute left and they kicked it down the center 77 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 1: of the field, Like, what are you doing? Bro? First 78 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 1: of all, shout out to sky Moore, who I hyped 79 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:17,360 Speaker 1: coming into the draft. I liked him. I had him 80 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 1: as a first round pick. I think I might have 81 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 1: nailed him exactly to the Chiefs. He had a rough 82 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 1: rookie year. He had at least three special teams gaffs. 83 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 1: I'll never forget the one against the Colts, and he 84 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,280 Speaker 1: had a couple of others throughout the season, and eventually 85 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: got pulled off punt return duty. Well, because I don't 86 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 1: know if you saw this, the Chiefs wide receivers were 87 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 1: dropping like flies. Hardman got knocked out of the game. 88 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 1: They were down to three guys ultimately, and sky Bore 89 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 1: goes back to return the punt and peels off like 90 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,480 Speaker 1: twenty four yarder. I know, Bengals fans, what about the 91 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 1: block in the back? You could throw a flag on 92 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 1: every play, as referees pretty much did in Eagles Niners, 93 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 1: And I don't know it. Just it felt good for 94 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 1: sky More, the rookie, to make that big return, And 95 00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:58,920 Speaker 1: just as good as you felt for sky More, you 96 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:03,040 Speaker 1: felt as awful for the Bengals linebacker, the kid Osai. 97 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 1: I don't even know how to say his name, Rob, 98 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,600 Speaker 1: but he's a second year linebacker and he's chasing Pat 99 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 1: Mahomes down the sideline and hits about of bounds like 100 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 1: you can't do that. I don't know if there's a 101 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 1: world where you cannot flag that because it was pretty 102 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,160 Speaker 1: blatant eats some Mahomes out of bounds. Mahomes, by the way, 103 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 1: absolutely heroic. And there is some symmetry here between the 104 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 1: toughness Mahomes showed and let's this is not the TV 105 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 1: cameras hamming it up. You could see the pain on Mahomes, 106 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,039 Speaker 1: putting pressure on his foot. It was the thing, guys, 107 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:38,600 Speaker 1: and for him to gut it out on the bad 108 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 1: wheel and get the extra yardage and then they hit 109 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,280 Speaker 1: out of bounds, getting them in field goal rings. Like, 110 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:48,040 Speaker 1: toughness in sports is something that is incredibly important and 111 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,359 Speaker 1: legacy building. Willis Read I could ask you give me 112 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 1: two things Willis Reid has done, and instantly everybody can say, 113 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 1: oh Willis Read coming out of the tunnel with the 114 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,160 Speaker 1: injury to play like five minutes in the finals and 115 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 1: then sat the bench or to the day, he gave 116 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 1: the team the lift um. But Michael Jordan's flew game, 117 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 1: which may have been exaggerated a little bit, I don't 118 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 1: know whatever you want to call it. He was that's 119 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 1: very clear. But we saw Mahomes gut it out and 120 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 1: and tough it out and just an incredible game. And 121 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 1: then you watch that Niners brock pretty injury on I 122 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 1: think there first drive and he gets hit and the 123 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 1: elbow and it looked bad. And then he goes back 124 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 1: in the game and just hands off and throw screen passes, 125 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:37,600 Speaker 1: and you just kind of wonder, like, what are they 126 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 1: doing if his injury so bad, why don't they just 127 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,719 Speaker 1: put Christian McCaffrey out there chucking the ball down the field? 128 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,720 Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel could throw the ball. Why wasn't he thrown? 129 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:47,559 Speaker 1: Like why didn't they throw the ball down the field? 130 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,160 Speaker 1: And and just and that's why I want to like 131 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,599 Speaker 1: highlight the toughness and the incredible nature of Patrick Mahomes, 132 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 1: who was just awesome. And I know everybody and their 133 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 1: mom is gonna come out and say, well, the Bengals 134 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:06,119 Speaker 1: ran their mouth. Um Mike Hilton calling it burrowhead, calling 135 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,920 Speaker 1: arrowhead burrowhead. That motivated the Chiefs. And and don't forget 136 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 1: about the mayor of Cincinnati. Remember when that golf said 137 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 1: Burrow needs a paternity test to confirm that he is 138 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 1: Mahomes his father. Like I saw that, and I was like, 139 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 1: did he really say that? The mayor, What is this 140 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 1: an episode of Moury? What the hell are you doing, dude, 141 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 1: the mayor of like a major midwestern city, Fine, fine, 142 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 1: a triple A Midwestern city, whatever Cincinnati is, but like, 143 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 1: you don't need to do that. So of course Travis 144 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 1: Kelsey gets on the mic after the game, know your roles, 145 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 1: shut your mouth, you GIBRONI. Which is awesome and it 146 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,760 Speaker 1: proves that Travis Kelsey and is a straight fire listener 147 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 1: since I used that word at least once a week. 148 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:44,880 Speaker 1: But I will just pump the brakes on this whole 149 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 1: like extra motivation. Like, guys, it's the a f C 150 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,920 Speaker 1: Title game. The Chiefs have one a super Bowl. They 151 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 1: lost in the a f C Title Game at home 152 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 1: last year to the same team, the same team that 153 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 1: beat him three times in a row. They don't need 154 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 1: that extra motivation, do they. I just refused to believe Rob. 155 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 1: I don't know if you agree with me on that round. 156 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 1: But it's like it's funny, and it makes a good headline, 157 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 1: it's clickable, it's a good video. But let's be realistic 158 00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 1: that that absolutely did nothing the Chiefs. They did not 159 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 1: come out more fired up because of the Cincinnati mayor 160 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:18,960 Speaker 1: in the locker room during the week, was there probably this? 161 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 1: Was there some sharing with there, some chatter, sure, but 162 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 1: extra motivation. I don't think one player was watching more 163 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 1: film because Mike Hilton tried to call Arrowhead Burrowhead. I 164 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 1: don't know, Robert, I might be in too much of 165 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 1: a party pooper, No, I mean, well, okay, Patrick Mahomes 166 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:38,040 Speaker 1: did say that, you know, the energy in the beginning 167 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,560 Speaker 1: of the game was the highest he'd seen, you know, 168 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,720 Speaker 1: from them in a long time. So I will, I 169 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 1: guess concede that the burrow Head all the trash talk 170 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 1: Eli Apple, who, by the way, his mom deleted her 171 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,079 Speaker 1: Twitter account after the game last night, which was kind 172 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 1: of funny talking mouth when the winning and then it's 173 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 1: let me just shut it down exactly. Um, yes, correct. 174 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 1: So Mahomes, you know, he said they came out a 175 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,080 Speaker 1: little juiced up, which is fine, but you know, if 176 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 1: you watch the game, that kind of stuff wears off 177 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 1: after like the second series, and they were in a 178 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,680 Speaker 1: dog fight the rest of the game. And I know 179 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:18,559 Speaker 1: that Mahomes is the headline and rightfully, so you know 180 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 1: what is it now? Five Home A f C Championship Games, 181 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 1: three Super Bowls appearances. He's already got one ring. He's gonna, yeah, 182 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,200 Speaker 1: he's gonna have his second m v P. Like it's 183 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 1: it's unreal, right, the things that he does and continues 184 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:37,560 Speaker 1: to do. But that Chief's defense really came to play 185 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 1: in the very beginning of the game. They got after Burrow, 186 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 1: they held him to zero yards offensively in the first quarter, 187 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,680 Speaker 1: sacked in three times. And then in the fourth quarter, 188 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 1: after Burrow had kind of got himself rolling started to 189 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 1: heat up there in the second and third and they 190 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:56,160 Speaker 1: started to eat a little momentum. Cincinnati had two drives 191 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter with a chance to take the lead. 192 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,439 Speaker 1: First drive, they get one first down, they thrown interception. 193 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 1: Second drive, they get two first down, moving the ball 194 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 1: a little bit. Defense stifens up. They have to put 195 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 1: it away. So shout out to Chris Jones and all 196 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:17,079 Speaker 1: those rookie guys in the secondary for standing up against 197 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 1: one of my money is the second best quarterback in 198 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:22,439 Speaker 1: football with all those weapons, and they made the place. 199 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 1: Like I know, Patrick Mahomes is gonna be the headline 200 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 1: and because he's great, but the defense came up big. 201 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,440 Speaker 1: Special teams that block in the back. I don't care 202 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 1: if you don't call it, because they could call that. 203 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 1: Like you said, almost every plage stuff like that happens. 204 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 1: And a fifteen yard penalty. So in reality, the game 205 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,440 Speaker 1: winning drive was what ten yards of actual offense. Yeah, 206 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:43,440 Speaker 1: they didn't they didn't do much. I was I was 207 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 1: rooting for overtime because also Robbed, the new overtime rules 208 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,720 Speaker 1: would have come into play, which you know, I just 209 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 1: love more football and football that matters more. By the way, 210 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 1: you mentioned the secretary, it was great. I should add 211 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 1: rob this is where the Bengals banged up offensive line 212 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:03,320 Speaker 1: mattered Burrow sack five times. I didn't realize this. Twelve 213 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,800 Speaker 1: quarterback hits from the Chiefs Chris Jones, who had zero 214 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:10,720 Speaker 1: sacks and I believe thirteen or fifteen career playoff games. 215 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:15,440 Speaker 1: Two to one on the final final drive. That was 216 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:19,080 Speaker 1: massive and it was a stroke of genius by the 217 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,439 Speaker 1: Chiefs defense Spagnolo, who I criticized. Remember, I was like, 218 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 1: I don't know if I trust Sagnolo. Jones plays in 219 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,760 Speaker 1: the middle defensive tackle. He moved him to the outside. 220 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,959 Speaker 1: On third down. They pushed flank Clark to the middle. 221 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:32,640 Speaker 1: They double frank Clark in the middle. They did not 222 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 1: notice that Chris Jones was isoed on the outside. He 223 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:39,959 Speaker 1: bul rushes whoever the the lineman was and gets the sack. 224 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:45,199 Speaker 1: Chris Jones five quarterback hits, three tackles for loss, m 225 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,719 Speaker 1: v P type stuff, like, incredible performance. Frank Clark was 226 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 1: a beast. Two. Um, you're right, Rob, That defense came 227 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:56,840 Speaker 1: to play still though, like that was nip and tuck 228 00:11:56,920 --> 00:12:00,080 Speaker 1: for the final fifteen minutes. Yeah, I mean, once you 229 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,040 Speaker 1: got down to the fourth quarter, it was pretty clear 230 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:06,559 Speaker 1: that both quarterbacks were kind of playing with one arm 231 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:08,760 Speaker 1: tie behind their back. I know it's probably the wrong 232 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:10,720 Speaker 1: joke to make in the light of the brock Purty 233 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,720 Speaker 1: situation where he literally only had one arm that was useful, 234 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:17,559 Speaker 1: But like Patrick Mahomes is down three receivers and he's 235 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 1: got a bad ankle. Joe Burrow is down three offensive 236 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,360 Speaker 1: linemen and he's on the road in the in the 237 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 1: loudest stadium in the NFL, and you could see, especially 238 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:32,600 Speaker 1: at in the fourth quarter, Chiefs receivers aren't getting open. 239 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 1: Burrow doesn't have time to throw. So you're like even 240 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,839 Speaker 1: Tony Romo, who had a horrible broadcasting game, he was 241 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 1: the game. He was bad. But one thing he did 242 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,440 Speaker 1: point out, which was correct, was look, somebody you know 243 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 1: has to make a big play. Somebody who you're not 244 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 1: talking about has to make a big play. And what 245 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,599 Speaker 1: it ended up being was the deep interception by the 246 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:56,199 Speaker 1: rookie for the for the Chiefs, sky More another rookie 247 00:12:56,400 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 1: with a long kick apartment return and unfortunately for the Bengals, 248 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 1: Joseph Asai with the fifteen year of personal foul penalty. 249 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 1: And that's basically the difference because they were at a 250 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 1: stalemate for the better part of the entire fourth quarter. 251 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,559 Speaker 1: It's interesting, Rob and I I also should bring up, 252 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:15,200 Speaker 1: you know rookies. You're right, you those rookies were big 253 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,240 Speaker 1: for the Chiefs and you need them when you're paying 254 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:20,599 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes all that money. And it's funny because you know, 255 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 1: people are trying to get robbed or thinking Rob's coming 256 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 1: after me on social media with you know, not paying 257 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:28,959 Speaker 1: your quarterback and Bomes because my take last week is 258 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:34,199 Speaker 1: what about rebooting the quarterback? Yeah, reboot the quarterback, Patrick Mahomes. 259 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 1: You're gonna reboot that. You're gonna reboot one of the 260 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:39,480 Speaker 1: guy who started his career going I think his first 261 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:41,680 Speaker 1: year as a starter, he was m VP right correct, 262 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 1: and he loses in the conference championship game to Brady 263 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,120 Speaker 1: And then his second year they win the Super Bowl. 264 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 1: They beat the Niners. Third year they losing the Super 265 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 1: Bowl to the Bucks when he had no offensive line. 266 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:55,720 Speaker 1: Fourth year they lose in the a f C title 267 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,559 Speaker 1: gameto the Bengals. Fifth year they're in the Super Bowl. 268 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 1: You don't reboot and kick like that's come on, guys, 269 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 1: think Joe Burrow looks like a guy, you go ride him, 270 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,080 Speaker 1: and then you're gonna have to nail your draft picks 271 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,600 Speaker 1: and bill wisely around him. What I was talking about 272 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 1: last week was basically anyone that's not really top five 273 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:19,480 Speaker 1: in hindsight, Russell Wilson looks like an awful decision. Deshaun 274 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 1: Watson looks like an awful decision. Dak Prescott clearly looks 275 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 1: like an awful decision. I'm not gonna say Josh Allen 276 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 1: awful yet, because he's still a very special quarterback and 277 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,880 Speaker 1: maybe he was. The elbow was injured um last year, 278 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 1: which late in this season, which is a reason that 279 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,200 Speaker 1: that that they couldn't deliver. But like you look around 280 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 1: the rest of the league, like if you want to 281 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 1: go ahead and give Daniel Jones, you know, thirty five 282 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:49,440 Speaker 1: million year or whatever it is. Um, Kirk Cousins getting 283 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 1: a crap ton of money. Um, I mean, look around 284 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,000 Speaker 1: the league. Some of these guys are overpaid, like Kyler 285 00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 1: Murray that that's obviously gonna be regretted. Justin Herbert, I 286 00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,680 Speaker 1: think could be in the Mahomes class. I know Rob 287 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 1: hates to hear that, in the mahomes Borough class. But again, 288 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 1: like it's just like anybody outside of the top five. 289 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 1: And now we're able too long. Um, a couple other 290 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 1: notes that I have here, Um, let's see here. No, 291 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,200 Speaker 1: I think that the Kelsey brothers are facing each other 292 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,520 Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl, which is very exciting. First brothers 293 00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:23,520 Speaker 1: to face each other in the Super Bowl. Also, I 294 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:28,760 Speaker 1: saw the stat um Jalen Hurts and Patrick Mahomes both 295 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 1: played high school quarter of football in Texas, and they 296 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:36,680 Speaker 1: are they to the first time two black quarterbacks will 297 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 1: meet in the Super Bowl. So there's a lot of like, 298 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:42,520 Speaker 1: you know, first time stuff happening. This is listen, if 299 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 1: you had asked me a month ago, super Bowl easily Chiefs, 300 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 1: easily Eagles. And then they started to fade a little bit. 301 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,920 Speaker 1: It looks like the Niners and Bengals are passing them. 302 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,160 Speaker 1: And then you know the teams that look better for 303 00:15:55,200 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 1: the larger portion of the year, the teams that finished strong. Right, Um, 304 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:05,600 Speaker 1: you know they Bengals hadn't lost in forever, for your 305 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 1: Unders hadn't lost in forever, and maybe they were a 306 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,320 Speaker 1: little overvalued. That's why I kind of liked them coming 307 00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 1: into this week. I fell into a bit of a trap. 308 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:15,480 Speaker 1: But fortunately live betting is a thing, and Rob I'll 309 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 1: say this very obviously. When the Eagles jumped out to 310 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 1: the early lead and the you had the brief Fred 311 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,680 Speaker 1: Warner injury or the brock Pritty injury, I live bet 312 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:29,200 Speaker 1: the hell out of the Eagles. I who would hope 313 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:34,520 Speaker 1: anybody else would do the same thing. It's just the 314 00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 1: game sucked.

But 318 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 1: I don't want to make this a thing about the referees, 319 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:52,040 Speaker 1: but in in the Bengal Chiefs game, there was a 320 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 1: moment where the referees it looked like they had missed Moho. 321 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 1: It was Mahomes knee down when he was making a pass, 322 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,320 Speaker 1: and the Bank Goals were like, oh, we're gonna challenge this. 323 00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 1: You guys missed it. And then the referees huddled and 324 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 1: they were like, his knee was down, no need to challenge, 325 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:08,479 Speaker 1: thank you, we got this. Okay, where was that common 326 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:14,840 Speaker 1: sense sanity? Rob? When Davante Smith catches his fourth down, 327 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:20,000 Speaker 1: one handed improbable catch and they give him the first down, 328 00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:22,240 Speaker 1: forty niners don't They don't have time to look at 329 00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:24,600 Speaker 1: an angle to challenge, and the referees didn't even bother challenge. 330 00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,880 Speaker 1: You saw Davante Smith wisely like bump his knuckles, which 331 00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 1: is probably a signal that we need to go. Let's 332 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:31,840 Speaker 1: get to the line of scrimmage. And they ran the 333 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,960 Speaker 1: play and they couldn't review it. And then seconds later, 334 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:39,680 Speaker 1: what do you know, definitely did not catch that. And Rob, 335 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,280 Speaker 1: I don't know how that can be fixed if you're 336 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:43,840 Speaker 1: Shanning and do you want to burn a challenge on 337 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:47,119 Speaker 1: the first series of the game without having a second 338 00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:50,600 Speaker 1: a second look at it? You know, if you can't 339 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:52,919 Speaker 1: win if you're Shannahan there, so if you throw the 340 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,480 Speaker 1: challenge and then once you finally get the second replay, 341 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:57,520 Speaker 1: oh yeah he caught it. Oh that's a waste of challenge, 342 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,199 Speaker 1: like two minutes into the game. Now you're screwed. But 343 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:04,200 Speaker 1: you do challenge it and you get it huge upside. 344 00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:07,159 Speaker 1: So like I was just frustrated rob Obviously I was 345 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:10,600 Speaker 1: kind of rooting Niners here. I don't I'm disappointing the 346 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:14,360 Speaker 1: referees there. I mean you could say you were disappointing 347 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,600 Speaker 1: the referees all Sunday. And you know what's funny is, 348 00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:20,199 Speaker 1: you know, speaking of early challenge, I hate to go 349 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:21,879 Speaker 1: flip flopping back and forth with the games here, but 350 00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:27,639 Speaker 1: Andy Reid challenges a ka Darius Tony touchdown which was 351 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,560 Speaker 1: clearly not a catch, Like everybody saw that that was 352 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:31,840 Speaker 1: not a catch. And I think it was in the 353 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:34,879 Speaker 1: first court late in the first quarter, and he challenged, 354 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,679 Speaker 1: and you just waste the time out right there. And 355 00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:41,280 Speaker 1: so I don't know if it's one of those situations 356 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:47,000 Speaker 1: where Andy Reid is expecting that we're going to be 357 00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:50,160 Speaker 1: in a shootout, so I need to get as many 358 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,639 Speaker 1: points as possible. So if that's available, I'm gonna challenge it. 359 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:55,080 Speaker 1: And Kyle Shanahan, which is funny because you know, Kyle 360 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,159 Speaker 1: Shannon has his reputation to be this mad genius and 361 00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:00,159 Speaker 1: his brilliant play caller. He has all these tricks up 362 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,040 Speaker 1: his sleeve. When you watch him coaching a lot of 363 00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:08,080 Speaker 1: these big games, he coaches scared. Oh goodness. And that's 364 00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,879 Speaker 1: the segue into the end. It's look, you brought it 365 00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:12,960 Speaker 1: up right off the top, the Brock Purty injury and 366 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:15,320 Speaker 1: is as you see hell, which for anyone doesn't know 367 00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:16,919 Speaker 1: what do you see? It's like a Tommy John injury 368 00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:18,800 Speaker 1: in baseball? Yeah, think it could have been major series. 369 00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 1: And if you put stress on it and we're trying 370 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:22,920 Speaker 1: to throw bombs down the field, who knows how bad 371 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 1: it could have gotten. You know you if you need 372 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:26,719 Speaker 1: Tommy John surgery in February, I don't know that you're 373 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:30,000 Speaker 1: playing next year, are you right? So just a quick point, rob. 374 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,399 Speaker 1: So after they scored the touchdown, San Fran gets the 375 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:36,200 Speaker 1: ball six plays twenty five yards, So we're now almost 376 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 1: eight minutes into the game and Shanahan whiffs again. Oh 377 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,000 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, not Shanahan with but this was a huge 378 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:46,760 Speaker 1: win for Sirianni because Purty gets hit it's it's an 379 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:50,880 Speaker 1: empty hand. On the replay Eagles challenge, I don't understand. 380 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,359 Speaker 1: Like I tell the kids in sports, play the whistle 381 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,160 Speaker 1: all the time, it looked like san Fran thought, oh, 382 00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:59,399 Speaker 1: it's incomplete. Meanwhile the Eagles guy picks it up, and 383 00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:03,600 Speaker 1: it's like, so now you've got brock Purty hurt. You 384 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,560 Speaker 1: had a touchdown that you probably could have gotten called 385 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:08,160 Speaker 1: back on the fourth down play you would have got 386 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:12,680 Speaker 1: the ball and oh, by the way, um, your opponent 387 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:14,600 Speaker 1: has the ball again, up seven nothing, and it was 388 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 1: just like it felt kind of over at that point. 389 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,120 Speaker 1: Is that was prettymature obviously because they ended up tying 390 00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:21,280 Speaker 1: it up. Rob, uh seven seven? It was good. It 391 00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:23,480 Speaker 1: was good. Josh Johnson handing off the McCaffrey. You had 392 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:27,480 Speaker 1: a big game. There was virtually no Kiddle, there was 393 00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 1: virtually no Dero, Samuel Deebo, Samuel prop got killed. Um. 394 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:34,760 Speaker 1: They they basically had no offense. You know, they had 395 00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,560 Speaker 1: eighty three yards passing, Smack had a couple of good runs, 396 00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,639 Speaker 1: but basically seven seven late second half and then the 397 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,159 Speaker 1: Revs got involved and Rob, this is where I just 398 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,800 Speaker 1: was so disappointed, because of course I had first half 399 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:50,400 Speaker 1: under twenty three, So Rob, you know again seven seven 400 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:55,960 Speaker 1: with look like they're about five yeah, about five minutes left, 401 00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 1: seven seven, and then the flags started coming in, two 402 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 1: penalties giving the Eagles automatic first downs. They end up 403 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:10,640 Speaker 1: getting the touchdown run I'm sorry, three flags, three flags, 404 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:12,679 Speaker 1: and the final four minutes getting them to touchdowne So 405 00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:16,160 Speaker 1: it's seven. I'm like, oh, great, first half is really 406 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:19,119 Speaker 1: in trouble now. And then Josh Johnson double fumbling the 407 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 1: snap like fumbled it, then goes to pick it up 408 00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 1: and fumbles it again. You can't recover seven. First half 409 00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:29,040 Speaker 1: toast and then at that point the game was over. 410 00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:33,040 Speaker 1: Um Like, second half was like really bad, Rob, it 411 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 1: was just not good football. And I don't know how 412 00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 1: the referees can avoid being a story. And and again 413 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,120 Speaker 1: they did show some of the replaces. I'm sure you could. 414 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:45,400 Speaker 1: You could throw a flag of holding or legal hands 415 00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:48,880 Speaker 1: to the face or whatever basically every down you could 416 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:52,199 Speaker 1: if you really wanted to. But at some point the 417 00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:54,000 Speaker 1: NFL in the next two weeks has to huddle and 418 00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 1: me like, guys, we can't have the Super Bowl marred 419 00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,639 Speaker 1: with this crap on every high leverage play, like if 420 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:01,880 Speaker 1: it's third and seven, somebody's probably holding in the secondary. 421 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,399 Speaker 1: You just throw a flight. I don't know how you 422 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:06,800 Speaker 1: get that out of the game. Rob Albert Brier had 423 00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,480 Speaker 1: an idea on social media about the referees and the 424 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 1: sky robo referees or whatever. Um, I don't know what 425 00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:19,920 Speaker 1: the sky judge. Yeah, yeah, I mean I guess. I mean, look, 426 00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:23,800 Speaker 1: this is gonna be one of those situations and you 427 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:25,520 Speaker 1: can set your watch by this. As soon as the 428 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 1: season is over and the Competition Opinion Committee meets in 429 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:32,440 Speaker 1: the off season, there is going to be talking about 430 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:35,640 Speaker 1: the permanent sky judge. There's gonna be talking about reviewable plays, 431 00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 1: there's gonna be talking about increasing the number of challenges 432 00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:41,159 Speaker 1: as because this is all going to be an overreaction 433 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 1: to what happened today, same thing that happened with the 434 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:49,200 Speaker 1: Chiefs Bills and the extra overtime rule. Right at the time. 435 00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:51,879 Speaker 1: Was it a perfect system, No, of course not, but 436 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,439 Speaker 1: it was what we were used to. It was it 437 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:57,280 Speaker 1: was considered fair at the time because both teams had 438 00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,160 Speaker 1: an offer, like that's what it was. You knew going 439 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,479 Speaker 1: in coin flip, you get the ball, you score. It's 440 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:06,199 Speaker 1: been that way for years and now because it happened 441 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 1: in all eyes are on this game or these games, 442 00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:13,240 Speaker 1: you're gonna have everybody overreacting and saying the officiating is 443 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:15,199 Speaker 1: so bad and and all this stuff is going on, 444 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 1: and all it's gonna do is it's gonna slow down 445 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 1: the product. It's gonna make it less fun to watch 446 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:24,239 Speaker 1: because you're always gonna have reviews. Everything's gonna be um, 447 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:26,840 Speaker 1: let's go up to the to the booth, let's get 448 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:29,240 Speaker 1: the sky and judge you back in here. You remember 449 00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:34,320 Speaker 1: when they made pass interference reviewable after that Saints Rams 450 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:39,480 Speaker 1: and the Yeah, you could challenge it, right, that was 451 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:41,280 Speaker 1: the big thing, like, we're not gonna this happen again. 452 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:45,000 Speaker 1: And I believe that the first year that that rule 453 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:48,639 Speaker 1: was in place, something like of the calls on the 454 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 1: field stood because the NFL didn't want us at the 455 00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:56,159 Speaker 1: president that they were always over ruling their referees, you 456 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:59,320 Speaker 1: know what I mean. Like, even though it's gonna be like, hey, 457 00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:01,360 Speaker 1: we're gonna fix this, is all gonna be all right. 458 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:03,959 Speaker 1: The NFL is not in the business of throwing their 459 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:06,560 Speaker 1: guys under the bus. They're just not gonna do it. 460 00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,960 Speaker 1: And I think once this season is over and it 461 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,159 Speaker 1: becomes a talking point. Again, everyone's gonna be all excited 462 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,080 Speaker 1: when they change the rule or they make it reviewable 463 00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:17,359 Speaker 1: or whatever, and then you're gonna see starting season or 464 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:19,680 Speaker 1: whatever it comes through, people are gonna be more frustrated 465 00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:22,720 Speaker 1: than ever. That's the way it works. Well, yeah, I'm 466 00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:26,120 Speaker 1: trying to look back to the divisional round. Um, there 467 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:30,200 Speaker 1: wasn't I mean, yeah, there wasn't even really any officiating 468 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:32,000 Speaker 1: drama because none of the games were close. Bengals was 469 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,720 Speaker 1: a blowout. I guess Dallas and Sanford was kind of close, 470 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:38,920 Speaker 1: but yeah, Kansas City over Jackson, there was no real 471 00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:41,760 Speaker 1: drama with refs, and I just feel like it was 472 00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:44,919 Speaker 1: a lot of people were disappointed. And um, speaking of disappointment, 473 00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 1: Eagles fans are very upset at me for tweeting out 474 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:54,280 Speaker 1: this after Philadelphia won. Eagles just had the easiest playoff 475 00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:59,639 Speaker 1: road of quarterbacks in NFL history. Daniel Jones, who is 476 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,560 Speaker 1: I'm almost certain on under five quarterback for his career, 477 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:09,240 Speaker 1: and then Brock Purty slash Josh Johnson, and I challenged 478 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,800 Speaker 1: the audience to find me or find me an easier 479 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:15,440 Speaker 1: road now if you want to go back even further 480 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,520 Speaker 1: weekend guys, because I did this, and I actually did 481 00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:20,840 Speaker 1: it on cow Heard show last week. So these are 482 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,960 Speaker 1: the quarterbacks that they faced before the end of the season. 483 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 1: Week A team, Davis Webb backing up Daniel Jones, Andy 484 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,760 Speaker 1: Dalton of the Saints. Dak Prescott lit him up for 485 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:33,800 Speaker 1: four hundred yards justin fields. Guys, we can go on 486 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:38,199 Speaker 1: and on. Remember they only faced Dac once. Uh. Cooper 487 00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:43,600 Speaker 1: Rush was backing him up in that game. So you 488 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:45,520 Speaker 1: can say the best quarterbacks they faced, or Aaron Rodgers 489 00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:50,360 Speaker 1: who was not good this year, Jared Goff. I mean, honestly, 490 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:52,800 Speaker 1: I'm not diminishing what they did. I will take this 491 00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,080 Speaker 1: time to point out that the only beat I made 492 00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:58,359 Speaker 1: Sunday night was Eagles minus two in the Super Bowl. Um. 493 00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:01,720 Speaker 1: The three books that ip right out of neither of 494 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,479 Speaker 1: them had picked. Although people were saying pick on the internet. 495 00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:09,840 Speaker 1: That's usually in Vegas, and you know I'm not in Vegas, 496 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,359 Speaker 1: so I'll just leave it there. Um, but I'm on 497 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:13,879 Speaker 1: the Eagles in the Super Bowl, just too, not a 498 00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:16,000 Speaker 1: big one, small, just to get one out of the 499 00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:18,680 Speaker 1: way in case it's hit three. Uh. The other quarterbacks 500 00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:21,280 Speaker 1: they beat, Um who was the cult quarterback when the 501 00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:24,760 Speaker 1: Eagles beat him. Rob was it Sam Sam Alan, Yeah, 502 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:29,439 Speaker 1: the immortal Sam Alleger, Ryan Tannehill. Um, they ended up 503 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,520 Speaker 1: losing the Taylor Heineke can he pick it? They beat 504 00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:37,840 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray Trevor Lawrence. Like, there are good quarterbacks in 505 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:40,600 Speaker 1: the NFL, right, Um, they just haven't seen one in 506 00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,160 Speaker 1: a long time. And I'm not diminishing what they accomplished. 507 00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:45,560 Speaker 1: This is just a fact they don't the Eagles fans 508 00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:48,720 Speaker 1: don't want to hear the fact this is the easiest 509 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:52,119 Speaker 1: road of quarterbacks in NFL history. I mean, if you 510 00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:55,920 Speaker 1: put Kirk Cousins in place of Daniel Jones, then it's 511 00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:57,720 Speaker 1: probably not as big of a deal. I'm a bigger 512 00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:00,680 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins than fan than most. I think he's good. Um, 513 00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:03,400 Speaker 1: I don't think he's great. I mean I don't think 514 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:06,199 Speaker 1: he's ever been an All Pro. But we're talking about, like, 515 00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:10,520 Speaker 1: look what the Chiefs went through Trevor Lawrence, who is ascending, 516 00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:13,359 Speaker 1: and it's all right. Eagles beat him during the regular season. 517 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:17,199 Speaker 1: This was his first road playoff game. And then they 518 00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:19,120 Speaker 1: beat Joe Burrow, who went to the Super Bowl last 519 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 1: year and is a superstar compared to Daniel Jones and 520 00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:27,120 Speaker 1: brock Purty slash Josh Johnson. By the way, Niners shout 521 00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:29,119 Speaker 1: out to call and I know you call him coaching scared. 522 00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:31,200 Speaker 1: I don't know how you coach aggressive when you're on 523 00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:34,520 Speaker 1: your fourth friend quarterback Rob. I mean, I'd love to 524 00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:36,840 Speaker 1: hear how many first team snaps Josh Johnson had during 525 00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:40,720 Speaker 1: it during this week, hell during this month. Josh Johnson. 526 00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:42,040 Speaker 1: I know what you go. Oh, he's veteran. Come on, 527 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:44,720 Speaker 1: it's been on fifteen teams. But there's a reason he's 528 00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:47,159 Speaker 1: been on fifteen teens. And I actually had a buddy 529 00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:50,800 Speaker 1: text me, you know, Colin Kaepernick could come in, and 530 00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:54,840 Speaker 1: I just stopped him. I was like, stop, Colin Kaepernick 531 00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,480 Speaker 1: is not going to be inactive for three fourths of 532 00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:00,399 Speaker 1: the season and then be the backup and hold the 533 00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,200 Speaker 1: clipboard and not say anything or calls a stir or 534 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:05,240 Speaker 1: get a million people in the media worked up. He's 535 00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:08,879 Speaker 1: just not that. Like, stop with the Kaepernick stuff, Josh Johnson. 536 00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:12,040 Speaker 1: I'll be honest. When Purdy got hurt, I was like, 537 00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:14,000 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, it's McCaffrey gonna have to be the quarterback. 538 00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:16,320 Speaker 1: Jimmy g is not even active. Who is the backup 539 00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:19,360 Speaker 1: that was the legit question. That's the question you want, 540 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:21,199 Speaker 1: like you don't even know who the backup is. Now, 541 00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:24,320 Speaker 1: obviously it's not great. And it led to should teams 542 00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:28,000 Speaker 1: carry three quarterbacks in the playoffs? Like an extra roster 543 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,080 Speaker 1: spot just for quarterbacks? So you don't get that crap. 544 00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:32,280 Speaker 1: I mean, Rob, fourth quarter, were you even watching? What 545 00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:35,240 Speaker 1: are you doing? Like shores around the house. I had 546 00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:37,439 Speaker 1: the game on and I was prepping for all these shows. 547 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:41,200 Speaker 1: I was getting my ad reads together and you know, 548 00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:43,720 Speaker 1: making sure that the guest budget was all lined up, 549 00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:45,400 Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. Yeah. Actually, I don't know if 550 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:47,520 Speaker 1: you noticed by emails you during the game saying hey, 551 00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:49,760 Speaker 1: these guys who were available for the radio row at 552 00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:52,320 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. So yes, yes, yes, I thought you'd 553 00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:55,120 Speaker 1: be throwing some weights around at a first, you know, 554 00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:57,880 Speaker 1: bench pressing, and yeah, I was on the Eagles, so 555 00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:00,360 Speaker 1: I felt good about that. It was the Beans called hurt, 556 00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:03,720 Speaker 1: very solid call. Do you have an early Super Bowl lean? 557 00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:12,400 Speaker 1: Probably Eagles. Yeah, it kind of trenches. It reminds me 558 00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:16,760 Speaker 1: of that forty Niners team that gave Mahomes problems in 559 00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:18,680 Speaker 1: there in his first Super Bowl. I mean, remember the 560 00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:21,680 Speaker 1: forty Niners team was the side for the first fifty 561 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:24,160 Speaker 1: two minutes and then a bomb to Tyreek Hill, who 562 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:27,400 Speaker 1: they don't have. By the way, UM, Eagles have better 563 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:30,160 Speaker 1: corners than san Fran did back in that one. UM 564 00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:34,200 Speaker 1: Slay and Bradbury are great. Uh. San Fran barely even 565 00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:36,480 Speaker 1: tried to throw on the outside. UM, So I think 566 00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:37,920 Speaker 1: it's a good matchup for the Eagles. I do have 567 00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:41,720 Speaker 1: some concern about Jalen Hurts too. I didn't think look 568 00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:43,680 Speaker 1: sharp rop, but I don't know how much its gonna 569 00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:46,960 Speaker 1: matter because you have a great offensive line which is 570 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,840 Speaker 1: basically gonna be able to do a good job. I 571 00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:53,160 Speaker 1: would think against Jones and Um and Frank Clark off 572 00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:55,840 Speaker 1: the edge help the best defensive linement in this game. 573 00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:59,680 Speaker 1: There's a small chance it's Hassan Reddick, who was excellent 574 00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:02,320 Speaker 1: and everywhere. I cannot believe Shanahan tried to block it 575 00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:04,120 Speaker 1: with a tight end at more than once, like what 576 00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:07,040 Speaker 1: are you doing? Bro Um. Ultimately, I think this will 577 00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:10,320 Speaker 1: be a good super wol Phoenix in two weeks. Fox 578 00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:13,440 Speaker 1: Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in the nation. 579 00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:16,680 Speaker 1: Catch all of our shows at Fox sports radio dot 580 00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,720 Speaker 1: com and within the I Heart Radio app search f 581 00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,320 Speaker 1: S r to listen live Rob. I don't want to 582 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:26,040 Speaker 1: pivot too much, but I feel one NFL move from 583 00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:31,960 Speaker 1: late Sunday. The Cowboys tried to bury it in Conference 584 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:37,000 Speaker 1: Championship Sunday, Kellen Moore and the Dallas Cowboys have parted ways. 585 00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:39,080 Speaker 1: And before you say, why are you talking about the Cowboys? 586 00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:43,520 Speaker 1: Who cares about Kellen Moore? I will just let you 587 00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:47,840 Speaker 1: guys know that the Dallas Cowboys game against the Niners 588 00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:52,440 Speaker 1: was the most watched conference championship game, sorry Divisional round 589 00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:57,520 Speaker 1: game last week. Forty seven million people watch them. People 590 00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:02,320 Speaker 1: care intimately about the Dallas Cowboy, whether it's TV, radio, podcast, 591 00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:06,800 Speaker 1: digital social. It's funny anytime I post on Instagram stories 592 00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:10,120 Speaker 1: about the Cowboys, I go to tag random Cowboys accounts 593 00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:14,320 Speaker 1: and there's literally like twenty Instagram accounts dedicated to following Cowboys, 594 00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:15,719 Speaker 1: and they a lot of them have a lot of followers, 595 00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:17,160 Speaker 1: So I tag them and some of them RePOP it. 596 00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:21,880 Speaker 1: But at any rate, the Cowboys parted ways. In air 597 00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:25,760 Speaker 1: quotes with Kellen Moore, Mike McCarthy is now going to 598 00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:32,120 Speaker 1: call places interesting. Um. Jerry Jones used to love Jason Garrett, 599 00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:34,360 Speaker 1: kept Jason Garrett as long as possible kept them as 600 00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:39,440 Speaker 1: head coach until you have to move on. Jerry Jones 601 00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:43,200 Speaker 1: absolutely loves Kellen Moore thought he would be like the 602 00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:44,880 Speaker 1: next head coach. I mean, I think he's on record 603 00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:50,360 Speaker 1: saying that. I wonder rob conspiracy theory. Jason on our 604 00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:57,440 Speaker 1: early Monday morning if McCarthy said, dex capit goes up. 605 00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:00,840 Speaker 1: We've went double digit games again, but we can't get 606 00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:05,520 Speaker 1: by the Niners. What if this happens next year? What 607 00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:10,680 Speaker 1: if I make a move protect myself by getting the 608 00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:13,840 Speaker 1: logical replacement. I don't think anybody thinks dan Quinn's getting 609 00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,320 Speaker 1: the job next year. Dan Quinn, by the way, two 610 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:19,080 Speaker 1: years in a row out trying to get jobs. Nothing, 611 00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:23,120 Speaker 1: He's back in Dallas. It's an odd move. I thought 612 00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:28,120 Speaker 1: Dac had a good year. It feels a little egotistical 613 00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:31,560 Speaker 1: of McCarthy to say, Dad, you've been solid the last 614 00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:33,320 Speaker 1: two years, but I'm ready to help you make the 615 00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:37,520 Speaker 1: jump to light speed. Really, we just saw Nathaniel Hackett 616 00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:40,960 Speaker 1: as a head coach totally fail. So now McCarthy, who 617 00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,920 Speaker 1: by the way, was not particularly buttoned up last season, 618 00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:46,800 Speaker 1: this season he was better, and all of a sudden, 619 00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:51,360 Speaker 1: now McCarthy said, I'm going to be calling plays. What 620 00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:53,760 Speaker 1: about the rest of the team, Mike, are you gonna 621 00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:57,120 Speaker 1: hand that to Quinn special teams? What about that? Like, 622 00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:59,040 Speaker 1: as the head coach, you need to be the CEO, 623 00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:01,400 Speaker 1: and I feel you're being less of a CEO if 624 00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:03,400 Speaker 1: you're calling plays. Now you got I mean up game 625 00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:05,160 Speaker 1: planning for that. Now you could say, hey, Doc is 626 00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:08,000 Speaker 1: something of a veteran. I don't know, I just I 627 00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:11,880 Speaker 1: don't like it. Rob. Maybe it's me. No, I'm totally 628 00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:14,280 Speaker 1: with you, I mean when you have And this kind 629 00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:15,960 Speaker 1: of got swept into the rug a little bit last 630 00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:19,800 Speaker 1: week because everyone's building up for these championship weekend. The 631 00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:24,840 Speaker 1: I believe the Cowboys fired six assistant coaches, like on 632 00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:27,720 Speaker 1: Thursday or wherever it was, So now Callumore is going 633 00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:32,400 Speaker 1: to be seven. You mean to tell me that, Mike 634 00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:35,240 Speaker 1: McCarthy can say with a straight face to Jerry Jones 635 00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:38,960 Speaker 1: or whoever, Well, Jerry Jones, right, No, it's not me. 636 00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:41,920 Speaker 1: It's not me. It's it's these other seven guys. It's 637 00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:44,520 Speaker 1: it's half of my staff. They're just not following what 638 00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:48,760 Speaker 1: it is and I'm looking for like Kellen Moore. Obviously, 639 00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:50,600 Speaker 1: according to the Alice Morning News. They said the issue 640 00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:52,800 Speaker 1: was that he didn't elevate his game, so to speak, 641 00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:54,800 Speaker 1: in the playoffs, and that's fair, Like, I get it right, 642 00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:56,959 Speaker 1: you were going at the number one defensive league, by 643 00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:59,320 Speaker 1: the way, hold on, Rob, let me just remind everybody 644 00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:03,400 Speaker 1: out there listening. The Philadelphia Eagles may have won thirty 645 00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:06,160 Speaker 1: one to seven, and that sounds like, oh, they blew 646 00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:09,040 Speaker 1: them out. Okay, I'm just gonna read for you some 647 00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:13,239 Speaker 1: of the numbers from the Eagles. Jalen Hurts fifteen of 648 00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:18,520 Speaker 1: twenty five one yards four point eight yards per pass. 649 00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:23,200 Speaker 1: The Eagles had two sixty nine yards of total offense 650 00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:27,160 Speaker 1: three point eight yards per play. That's it. They were 651 00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:29,680 Speaker 1: not robbed any better than what the Cowboys did last 652 00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:33,680 Speaker 1: week against the Niners. Were they offensively? The numbers say no, 653 00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:36,880 Speaker 1: Now you benefit from three fumbles by san Fran, you 654 00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:40,200 Speaker 1: lose party, you win the game, and you win it 655 00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:42,480 Speaker 1: big and it looks good. But Rob, like, come on, 656 00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:46,480 Speaker 1: I mean, I think the Eagles were better than the 657 00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:50,120 Speaker 1: Cowboys last week, but it's not like by such a margin. 658 00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:52,480 Speaker 1: You san Fran was on the road this week, right, 659 00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:56,359 Speaker 1: But it's just like, you know, it feels like, well, 660 00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:58,480 Speaker 1: number one. Mike McCarthy is doing this to save his job, 661 00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:00,160 Speaker 1: right because of the way they flamed out each to 662 00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:04,040 Speaker 1: the last two postseasons. But underneath that, you know, in 663 00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:06,640 Speaker 1: the weeds, so to speak, this feels like a situation 664 00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:10,520 Speaker 1: where you can't get rid of the quarterback, so you 665 00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:13,880 Speaker 1: gotta do something else. Like I think Dak Prescott is 666 00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:17,040 Speaker 1: more of the problem in Dallas than Kellen Moore was, 667 00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:19,759 Speaker 1: you know. I mean, Dan Orlovski Front of the Show 668 00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:23,560 Speaker 1: had several videos and NFL Live last week showing all 669 00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:26,800 Speaker 1: the open guys that Dak just missed. I just didn't 670 00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:28,799 Speaker 1: even see them right, and not even they do an 671 00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:31,319 Speaker 1: in complete pass that he was looking his reading it 672 00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:33,239 Speaker 1: the wrong way. This guy, t y Lton was the 673 00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:35,560 Speaker 1: big one, like a forty yard wide open touchdown and 674 00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:38,239 Speaker 1: he throws it. Um tried to stick to Steve Laman 675 00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:42,120 Speaker 1: steading between two guys, and it's like it's just it's 676 00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:45,680 Speaker 1: it's typical cowboys. You know. They tried the news dump 677 00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:48,280 Speaker 1: in the middle of the championship weekend like we wouldn't notice. 678 00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:51,880 Speaker 1: We did, unfortunately, and I'm sure once all the buzz 679 00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:54,399 Speaker 1: dies down later this morning, I'm sure maybe like the 680 00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:57,640 Speaker 1: second or third hour of the Herd. I'm sure you 681 00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:00,239 Speaker 1: guys are probably gonna go off on Jerry Jones Wars. 682 00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:02,400 Speaker 1: We'll see about that. UM. I do want to end 683 00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:06,840 Speaker 1: Rob with one random note. So this is again, I 684 00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:09,680 Speaker 1: don't want to be conspiracy theory Monday, Jason. But when 685 00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:13,279 Speaker 1: I say that, I guess I automatically become that. So Weirdly, 686 00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:17,560 Speaker 1: Ian Rappaport of NFL Network early on Sunday, you know, 687 00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:19,640 Speaker 1: they're buzzing around the league trying to find nuggets that 688 00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:24,640 Speaker 1: will get people interested, and Ian Rappaport go basically does 689 00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:29,200 Speaker 1: a hit talking about Kyler Murray. Now, why haven't you 690 00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:32,360 Speaker 1: maybe heard about this? Because interestingly, even though it was 691 00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:34,800 Speaker 1: on TV, Rappaport did not post it on his social 692 00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:39,319 Speaker 1: media account. Someone else saw it and they posted it. 693 00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:43,440 Speaker 1: Here's what it says. The Cardinals have a March twenty 694 00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:47,160 Speaker 1: five deadline looming to pick up Kyler Murray's thirty six 695 00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:51,200 Speaker 1: million dollar option. Currently, he counts sixteen mill against the 696 00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:55,560 Speaker 1: cap next year a trade before the option, so before 697 00:36:55,600 --> 00:37:01,000 Speaker 1: Mary would only add seven million to that number. After 698 00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:03,640 Speaker 1: the option is picked up, the dead money goes to 699 00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:07,880 Speaker 1: fifty nine million dollars, so what remember Brian Winhorse, Why 700 00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:13,520 Speaker 1: would they do that? Why Woody and Rappaport talk about 701 00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:18,120 Speaker 1: this on Conference Championship Sunday and then not posted on 702 00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:20,279 Speaker 1: his social media. Now, I know some people are like, well, 703 00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:22,640 Speaker 1: what's that all about? Jay? You guys know how the 704 00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:26,840 Speaker 1: games played. People tell me stuff all the time. For instance, 705 00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:29,640 Speaker 1: over the weekend, I got an interesting text from someone 706 00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:32,560 Speaker 1: in the NFL and they actually called me when I 707 00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:35,440 Speaker 1: was coaching my daughter's basketball game and could not I 708 00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:38,600 Speaker 1: didn't see the call until afterwards. So where where the 709 00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:41,120 Speaker 1: hell is this text? Um? So I'll read it and 710 00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:44,000 Speaker 1: and this is something you know. The names are in here, 711 00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:48,120 Speaker 1: but I'm not gonna I'm not gonna say it. If 712 00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:51,680 Speaker 1: you tweeted something out about an agent being fired, is 713 00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:57,080 Speaker 1: that a bad look for you? This player terminated his 714 00:37:57,200 --> 00:38:00,600 Speaker 1: agent from Clutched Sports. He was a top ten pick. 715 00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:06,400 Speaker 1: Another guy who was drafted top fifteen also terminated the 716 00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:09,960 Speaker 1: same agent from Clutch Sports. So I'm leaving out the 717 00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:11,759 Speaker 1: players names. You know, you guys don't have to do 718 00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:16,360 Speaker 1: that much homework to figure out who it is, what's 719 00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:19,839 Speaker 1: going on a at Clutch sports and be with these 720 00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:23,600 Speaker 1: two guys who are looming to get the fifth year option. 721 00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:27,160 Speaker 1: What's happening with them at Clutched Sports. I don't know 722 00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:29,919 Speaker 1: the answer, but I'm I floated on social without saying 723 00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:32,239 Speaker 1: the player's names. I don't know if any reporters picked 724 00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:35,200 Speaker 1: it up. I didnt google. There's something there, but the 725 00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:39,200 Speaker 1: agent is probably working the media members to say, hey, 726 00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:41,160 Speaker 1: let's not can you not mention that? Let me give 727 00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:42,880 Speaker 1: you something else on someone, Rob. You know this is 728 00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:44,880 Speaker 1: how the game is played. You give a favor to 729 00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:47,680 Speaker 1: keep something out of the news. I wonder if Kyler 730 00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:51,680 Speaker 1: Murray's agent said, hey, saw the hit? Can can you 731 00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:53,920 Speaker 1: just not? Can you not put on social? We just 732 00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:57,000 Speaker 1: don't need that trending in all this crap. Say it 733 00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:59,400 Speaker 1: on TV? Fine, I don't know how many people saw it, 734 00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:03,160 Speaker 1: but in all answers honesty. Social can sometimes be more 735 00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:06,120 Speaker 1: dangerous because it goes viral. Players are on their phones. 736 00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:11,799 Speaker 1: You know that they're gonna see stuff. Rob, Who the 737 00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:15,200 Speaker 1: hell is trading for an injured Kyler Murray? And if 738 00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:18,319 Speaker 1: the answer is nobody, which probably is, what do you 739 00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:22,799 Speaker 1: think is up with Rappaport floating this? Could it be 740 00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:29,480 Speaker 1: that during interviews for the head coaching job, the GM 741 00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:33,080 Speaker 1: and the owner. We're telling the next head coach you 742 00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:35,640 Speaker 1: don't want to trade Kyler? You could do that. Oh, 743 00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:38,760 Speaker 1: by the way, we have a deadline. You gotta wonder 744 00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:44,280 Speaker 1: GM and coach both gone, both of them for Kyler's guys. 745 00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:47,600 Speaker 1: All right, Rob just pushing it out there late in 746 00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:51,120 Speaker 1: the podcast for the T one listeners, spicy quarterback adding 747 00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:53,359 Speaker 1: to the carousel where I don't know, I'm not even 748 00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:55,520 Speaker 1: talking about the Aaron Rodger stuff. We'll say that for tomorrow. 749 00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:58,200 Speaker 1: But I'll tell you I'd rather have Kyler Murray and 750 00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:00,000 Speaker 1: then Tom Brady in the Vegas That's all I'm gonna say. 751 00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:04,480 Speaker 1: Tyler Kyler Murray, Kyler Murray and his uh call of duty, 752 00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:07,359 Speaker 1: you know, infatuation end us bummney, give me him over 753 00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:10,040 Speaker 1: Tom Brady any day of the weak. Are you serious? Yes, 754 00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:12,399 Speaker 1: I'm serious. I don't want to rehash it because it's 755 00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:14,880 Speaker 1: so late in the pot, you know, but yes, by 756 00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:20,320 Speaker 1: the way, oh yeah, and and and then just on 757 00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:22,759 Speaker 1: that original point you said about the agent thing, right 758 00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:25,040 Speaker 1: about that. You know, sometimes they get calls saying, don't 759 00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:28,839 Speaker 1: push this kind of stuff out people who don't know 760 00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:32,319 Speaker 1: how this works, like that is one percent factual. I 761 00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:35,080 Speaker 1: can tell you that not too long ago, there was 762 00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:40,080 Speaker 1: a prominent NFL insider who did an interview um on 763 00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:43,680 Speaker 1: a media outlet. It was live, they did it whatever, right, 764 00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:45,959 Speaker 1: he said something that I don't know if he didn't 765 00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:49,319 Speaker 1: think he was supposed to say, or he didn't you know, 766 00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:53,120 Speaker 1: maybe was inabriated to a point where hey, that's something 767 00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:57,000 Speaker 1: I should have kept to myself. He called the outlet 768 00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:00,279 Speaker 1: said I need you to ensure that does not go 769 00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:04,040 Speaker 1: out digitally in podcast or whatever form so that people 770 00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:05,680 Speaker 1: can't go back and get it. So if you got 771 00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:12,239 Speaker 1: it and it was live, cool, Otherwise it does not exist, 772 00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:15,520 Speaker 1: and that that that happens. So yes, I know exactly, 773 00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:17,840 Speaker 1: like I know people think that we're you know, tinfoil 774 00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:21,240 Speaker 1: hats on this one. No, this kind of stuff does happen. Yeah, 775 00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:24,319 Speaker 1: it's something's going on with Kyler. Listen. Something's always going 776 00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:26,239 Speaker 1: on with these guys. Now, listen. You could easily say, well, 777 00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:27,840 Speaker 1: what's a better option than Kyler? Well, i'll tell you 778 00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:30,400 Speaker 1: right now, Rob trade and get whatever you can and 779 00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:32,920 Speaker 1: you're gonna be awful next year. And oh it stinks, 780 00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:35,520 Speaker 1: but you're gonna have the number one pick. When this 781 00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:37,279 Speaker 1: guy named Caleb Williams is coming out, and there's just 782 00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:39,520 Speaker 1: other decent quarterback named Drake. Maybe both of them are 783 00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:42,880 Speaker 1: considered better than Bryce Young Stroud Levice. I don't know 784 00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:46,399 Speaker 1: that it is close, but there is a scenario. Hey, 785 00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:49,400 Speaker 1: we maxed out Kyler, let's reboot. I know nobody's gonna 786 00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:52,160 Speaker 1: like to hear that. And I was very pro Kyler 787 00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:54,200 Speaker 1: last year. Coming into this year, I thought, Okay, they 788 00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:56,160 Speaker 1: they got it. And you just start hearing stuff and 789 00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:59,439 Speaker 1: you're like, oh, I'm out, No, thanks done. So another 790 00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:03,200 Speaker 1: quarterback you keep an eye on in the NFL and 791 00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:06,719 Speaker 1: the carousel that is so so fun. I think we're 792 00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:08,719 Speaker 1: gonna get a lot of NFL coaching news this week 793 00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:10,759 Speaker 1: now that Damiko Ryan's is out. I would not be 794 00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:14,520 Speaker 1: shocked if sooner than later he is with the Texans, 795 00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:17,480 Speaker 1: unless he's trying to leverage them for more money out 796 00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:20,319 Speaker 1: of Denver. I don't know what Denver does. They had 797 00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:23,560 Speaker 1: wanted Peyton that that ain't happen, at least he doesn't 798 00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:26,080 Speaker 1: seem like it. By the way, Peyton will be on 799 00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:28,719 Speaker 1: the Herd this morning. I'll see what I get out 800 00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:33,000 Speaker 1: of him during the commercial. Bak and Um Jim Harball 801 00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:35,120 Speaker 1: is staying in Michigan, so I don't know what Denver's doing. 802 00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:37,359 Speaker 1: They wanted to go big hay hunting and there looks 803 00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:40,279 Speaker 1: like they're over two. Gonna be interesting, Gonna be a 804 00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:42,359 Speaker 1: fun week. Obviously, we'll do a lot of NBA.
