We're back at it 30 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 1: our lead story this hour from Foxborough. The Last Game 31 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 1: play the final game on a wild Card Sundays. One 32 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 1: game left in the playoffs, but we'll begin with the 33 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 1: Chargers visiting the Commonwealth, a playdate with the Patriots, and 34 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 1: a trip to the divisional round on the line up 35 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 1: Mike Turrico and Chris Collinsworth. Was a tough night for 36 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,920 Speaker 1: Collinsworth man, he loves him some. Justin Herbert, that is 37 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 1: a hard one. That is a tough night for Collinsworth 38 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,240 Speaker 1: to have to watch Justin Herbert go out there and 39 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 1: play in a playoff game. Anyway, that was the game 40 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 1: as an island game. Of course, all these playoff games 41 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,920 Speaker 1: are Island games now and so I don't know if 42 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,639 Speaker 1: you saw it or not. Maybe you're not watching. We 43 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 1: watched you not After the story of this game, the 44 00:02:55,600 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 1: new England defense absolutely manhandling the outclassed, pathetic, futile Charger offense, 45 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,519 Speaker 1: and Drake May getting a lot of love. I'm a 46 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 1: little confused by that. We'll get to that in a minute. 47 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 1: He did throw a late touchdown pass, although it didn't 48 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 1: really matter the outcome of the game. He threw the 49 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,799 Speaker 1: pass to former Charger Hunter Henry, who the Patriots signed 50 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 1: a couple years ago. And this has kind of been 51 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 1: hanging out there. That was in the fourth quarter. Patriots 52 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 1: get the sixteen to three win in a weekend of thrilling, riveting, 53 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 1: mind blowing games. This was not that. This was not 54 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 1: that on wild card weekend. So Andy Boord Gallas is 55 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 1: always great when you're kicker. Andy Boord Gallas is in 56 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 1: the lead. He hit not one, not two, but three 57 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 1: field goals. So the Patriots get another win. They had 58 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 1: not won a postseason game since they won the Super 59 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 1: Bowl back in twenty eighteen. The end of the twenty 60 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 1: eighteen season, so they have now gotten back into the 61 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 1: win come first time since Tom Brady and Bill Belichick 62 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 1: where there. They'll host the winner of the Monday night 63 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 1: game between the petspurg Steelers and the Houston Texans and 64 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 1: the division round. Will that be a rematch? The Steelers 65 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,280 Speaker 1: went to Foxboro in the regular season? Will that be 66 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 1: a rematch? Well, the better story, we'll get to that 67 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 1: all that stuff in a minute. The better story is 68 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:25,599 Speaker 1: in the losing locker room. And what a gag by 69 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:30,360 Speaker 1: the Bolts. What an absolute gag, just not competitive. Why 70 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: do you even bother going to the game. You're going 71 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,360 Speaker 1: to perform like that? Pathetic and they deserve to get 72 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 1: completely roasted. But in particular the Golden Boy, Oh what 73 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 1: a fraud this guy is? Huh. So that's a good 74 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 1: jumping off point. Let us discuss the question is there 75 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 1: a word? Is there a love words? Is there a 76 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 1: word for Justin Herbert's playoff performance for the Chargers in 77 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,160 Speaker 1: the Sunday night game in New England. So I've got 78 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:03,360 Speaker 1: my thoughts on this. I've got Shawshank Redemption, Oregon Trail, 79 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 1: and Yoga stretch, and we'll put them all together. We're 80 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 1: gonna make spaghetti and meatballs, is what we're gonna make 81 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,279 Speaker 1: some delicious spaghetti and meat pulls. So a the word 82 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,720 Speaker 1: I have to answer the question, is there a word 83 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,159 Speaker 1: for Justin Herbert's playoff performance with the Chargers, not of 84 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 1: this year, but all his entire career. The word is 85 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 1: be draggled. That is my word. I'm going to the 86 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 1: word bedraggled there as in soaked, shaken and dragging himself 87 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,920 Speaker 1: off the field. A loser with a capital L yet again, 88 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 1: And what an absolute. I can't curse. I'm not allowed 89 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:44,600 Speaker 1: to curse. But my god, although Sir scratch Off can curse, 90 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,159 Speaker 1: he can call up and curse because he's got a 91 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 1: potty mouth. That truck driver, Sir scratch Ow, that guy's 92 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,920 Speaker 1: got a dirty mouth. But anyway, Justin Herbert, my god, 93 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,480 Speaker 1: like a dog that lost a fight with a lawn sprinkler, 94 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 1: totally bedraggled in this game. And now we did check. 95 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 1: I went to the American Kennel Club website, and it 96 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 1: turns out that Justin Herbert is not a He's not 97 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 1: a Golden retriever. He's not that he is not a poodle, 98 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 1: according to I looked it up here. So he's not 99 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 1: a poodle or a bulldog. Justin Herbert. According to my research, 100 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 1: it might be wrong. The American Kennel Club. Justin Herbert, 101 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:29,839 Speaker 1: the type of dog he is is a choking dog, 102 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:34,560 Speaker 1: That's what he is. All bark in September, no bite 103 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:38,719 Speaker 1: in January. What a fraud. What an absolute for the 104 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:43,040 Speaker 1: amount of ass kissing that he's gotten from football commentary. Oh, 105 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,600 Speaker 1: Justin Herbert, Oh man, he's the bee's knees and all that. 106 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 1: My god, my god. And so you look at it 107 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,280 Speaker 1: and like, what an absolute mess. The Chargers a couple 108 00:06:55,279 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 1: of years ago, they blamed Brandon Staley. They said, Brandon 109 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 1: Staley is not a good head coach. Justin Herbert needs 110 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,719 Speaker 1: a good head coach. That's what he needs. That's the 111 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 1: problem they need. They got to bring in the new head. 112 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 1: So the guy rid of Staley, the yoga guy, they 113 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 1: fired his ass. He was gone. Then they hired Jim Harbaugh. 114 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 1: Jim Harball. They brought him in like he was doctor 115 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 1: Phil for quarterbacks there and gonna unlock a higher platform 116 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 1: plateau in the career of Justin Herbert. And that's what 117 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 1: everyone said, We like, Jim Harball, gonna unlock some special 118 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 1: stuff here for Justin Herbert. And instead Herbert brought the 119 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 1: same pre existing condition with him, and it's SF stage fright, 120 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 1: stage fright. It is wild. He is the closest comp 121 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 1: we have to a football version of Clayton Kershaw. It's 122 00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 1: just perfect. It's the perfect comp Does anyone disagree with that? Now? 123 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 1: I actually got into a heated argument with a charger 124 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 1: suck up that I know, a longtime charger lapdog who 125 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 1: was making every excuse in the book. It's not Herbert fall, 126 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 1: it's not blame this guy, blame that, Blame the offensive line, 127 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 1: blame it. Oh, it tries me insane. I'm just not 128 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 1: cut that way. It tries me bonkers. And just like Kershaw's, well, 129 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 1: it's not his fault, it's this guy's fault. Attack. And 130 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,120 Speaker 1: then one guy made a play here, they would have 131 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 1: won that game, or they blamed the manager for bringing 132 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 1: him out in a game, and never his fault, never 133 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 1: for the jock sniffers, the brown nosers, and justin Herbert's 134 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 1: got the same thing going. Even you think there's really 135 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 1: nothing salvageable about that performance. The guy was just in 136 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,200 Speaker 1: over his head, deer in the headlights, the whole thing, 137 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 1: hair brain quarterback play. And yet there are people, Oh no, no, 138 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 1: it's not his fault. 139 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:55,080 Speaker 3: No no, no, no no. 140 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,080 Speaker 1: No no no no no no no no, no no no. 141 00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:01,200 Speaker 1: I want to slap these people my god like and 142 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:02,960 Speaker 1: a lot of the QB a positive. I but blame 143 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,439 Speaker 1: the offensive line. I just wish you how to go 144 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 1: to offensive line. I tried to explain to people that 145 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,320 Speaker 1: you know, I know, at some point football will be 146 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:15,560 Speaker 1: flag football and no one will ever get hurt and 147 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,840 Speaker 1: he'll be great. But until then, it's the war of attrition, 148 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 1: like you're supposed to win with what you have. And 149 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:24,839 Speaker 1: part of the reason you pay a quarterback I don't 150 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 1: maybe I'm wrong on this two hundred and sixty million 151 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,080 Speaker 1: dollars is to uplift the players on the team. Like 152 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,679 Speaker 1: to uplift the player and yeah, you're not going to 153 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 1: be one hundred. Joe Burrow made the Super Bowl with 154 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 1: the Bengals, had a terrible offensive line. Aaron Rodgers with 155 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:40,760 Speaker 1: the Packers the year that they the last time the 156 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 1: Packers won, they had the most players on injured reserve. 157 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 1: I believe in the NFL that year, remember talking about 158 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 1: it right here, and they won. Have I have I 159 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 1: ever seen I don't think I have Justin Herbert in 160 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 1: the playoffs, uplift players, make them play better, enhance the roster, No, 161 00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 1: and often he brings the roster down. He's it's kind 162 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,199 Speaker 1: of like on a boat when you've got you're out 163 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 1: in the ocean there and you drop anchor. That's Justin Herbert, right. 164 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 1: So for those of you who say, well, it's the 165 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,560 Speaker 1: offensive line's fault, okay, tell me you didn't watch the 166 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,560 Speaker 1: game without telling me you didn't pay attention to the 167 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:15,840 Speaker 1: game and watch the game and all that stuff. Herbert 168 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:20,840 Speaker 1: was rattled. He ran into multiple sacks. It wasn't the 169 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 1: offensive line, faile. He ran into them dazed and confused. 170 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 1: That's on him. And it is still ultimately an execute 171 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 1: or evaporate league in the playoffs. And for Justin Herbert, 172 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 1: I'm apparently a big fan of Shawshank redemption. And he 173 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,439 Speaker 1: vanishes like a fart in the wind when we get 174 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:42,560 Speaker 1: to the playoffs. That's Justin Herbert, just a big fart, 175 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 1: big wet fart in the wind, just vanishing air. And 176 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:50,680 Speaker 1: the playoffs two touchdowns, four interceptions, passer rating below sixty five. 177 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 1: Kershaw esque Clayton Kershaw ESQ. I guess you don't get 178 00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,080 Speaker 1: a lot for two hundred and sixty two million dollars, 179 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 1: A lot of funny money flying out from the Chargers. 180 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 1: And it's not so funny right now, is it? No, 181 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 1: it's not. No, And there he was riding the vomit 182 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:11,559 Speaker 1: comet at warp speed Justin Herbert another playoff game and 183 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,719 Speaker 1: covered in maggots in just terrible. But he's got that 184 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 1: nice flowing here. It's got that flowing here. In the 185 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:21,680 Speaker 1: last ten quarters, the last ten quarters of postseason play, 186 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:26,200 Speaker 1: Justin Herbert has completed barely fifty percent of his passes 187 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:31,599 Speaker 1: for one touchdown and four interceptions. He also guided the 188 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:35,719 Speaker 1: Chargers during a historic choke job in Jacksonville in that 189 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 1: playoff game. Also been sacked twelve times the last ten quarters. 190 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 1: And that's three different teams, that's two different coaches lost 191 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 1: in the plus yeah, you said, I give him a 192 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 1: break because he's lost them A Homes and Josh Allen 193 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 1: and these great quarterbacks in the place. No, no, no, 194 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 1: he's lost to Trevor Lawrence, C. J. Stroud and Drake. 195 00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 1: May not exactly a murderer's role of franchise quarterbacks there 196 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 1: at all, and man, but at least he's well groomed. 197 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 1: He's well groomed, so you've got that going on. My goodness, 198 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,840 Speaker 1: my goodness. All right, I want to hear from Herbert's 199 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:17,319 Speaker 1: kind of a dope.

We give everything we. 207 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,079 Speaker 1: Had and he did. It's good.

He's got to be heart God, every time 214 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:01,680 Speaker 1: he plays that, it's got to be an injury. Are 215 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 1: you hurt, Justin Herbrie, are you hurt? 216 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 4: You know, the training staff did a great job of 217 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 4: getting ready to go and okay, you know, as long 218 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 4: as they felt safe and comfortable, and I did as well. 219 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:12,800 Speaker 4: You know, there was there was no issues. 220 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 1: I just have to do a better job holding under 221 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,959 Speaker 1: the ball. You think, maybe how about you don't run 222 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,000 Speaker 1: into sacks? How about? Is that too much to ask? 223 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 1: Too much to ask? How dare you? Mallord? You're such 224 00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 1: a hater? What's wrong with you? All right? Here's more, 225 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 1: here's justin Herbert and the question being asked. I'm sure 226 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:33,679 Speaker 1: this will be asked underhanded, soft line of question, but 227 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,960 Speaker 1: it's Herbert's just a terrible playoff quarterback. There's no other 228 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:38,920 Speaker 1: way to say it. And he was asked about that. 229 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 4: Was your confidence in yourself that you will be able 230 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 4: to get over to some potentially get a playoff plum. 231 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:44,319 Speaker 5: And make a playoff run. 232 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:50,439 Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know wed and hasn't happened, So we'll 233 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 4: have to re evaluate and see what happens. 234 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 1: Okay, there you go. I like that answer because he's 235 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 1: admitting he has no answer, he has no clue, He's clueless. 236 00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 1: All right. Now, continuing the train of thoughts, So Jim 237 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,600 Speaker 1: Harbaugh the only Harbaugh currently employed by an NFL team. 238 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh hinted postgame about firing Greg Roman the offensive 239 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:13,439 Speaker 1: coordinator at the time for the Chargers. Chargers scoring just 240 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:17,240 Speaker 1: three points and embarrassing the franchise yet again. In the 241 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:20,040 Speaker 1: wild card game against the Patriots, he was asked about 242 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:23,320 Speaker 1: the future of Greg Roman. Jim Harbaugh said, quote, I 243 00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 1: don't have the answer to that right now. We're gonna 244 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 1: look at that and everything close. Quote okay, question where 245 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 1: are you at on Jim Harbaugh and that vague answer 246 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 1: on the future of the Chargers offensive coordinator Greg Roman. 247 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 1: So it came across to some as vague. It came 248 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 1: across as like Jim Harbaugh doing the shrug emoji on 249 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 1: Greg Roman. However, having heard this stuff over the years, 250 00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:59,000 Speaker 1: that is Jim Harbaugh going into garage and sharpening his 251 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:04,720 Speaker 1: machete is what that is. Someone has to be sacrificed, 252 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 1: someone has to go. You must sacrifice someone to the 253 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 1: football gods. That's the way this works. And so you 254 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:17,960 Speaker 1: score three points in a playoff game. The Chargers offense 255 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 1: played like they were on the Oregon Trail justin Herbert's 256 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 1: an Oregon guy that played on the Oregon Trail and 257 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 1: they died of dysentery is what happened there. They the 258 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 1: wagon broke down and they just they got dysenteries. Unfortunate. 259 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 1: But Greg Roman, he can go somewhere else. It's again, 260 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 1: they just shuffle these guys from team to team and 261 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,880 Speaker 1: they'll get a job somewhere else. There's eight jobs open 262 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 1: head coaching jobs in the NFL, so he'll get one 263 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:44,680 Speaker 1: of those. And firing Greg Roman just it just looks 264 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:48,760 Speaker 1: like and feels like window dressing, like justin Herbert. He's 265 00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 1: not going anywhere. They made that mistake. They paid a 266 00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:53,600 Speaker 1: guy that doesn't have it. He doesn't have the it factor. 267 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,040 Speaker 1: They paid him a lot of money, so he's stuck. 268 00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,720 Speaker 1: They're stuck with that dead weight. He's not going anywhere. 269 00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:00,720 Speaker 1: And then you got Jim Harball. He doesn't seem like 270 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 1: he wants to go anywhere. And what happened to Harball 271 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:05,160 Speaker 1: being the quick fixed guy that was always the book 272 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 1: on Harball. You bring Jim Harborough in right away, you 273 00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,840 Speaker 1: win with Jim Harbaugh, and then he wears out his welcome. 274 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 1: Well not anymore. They got to bring in an exorcist 275 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 1: is what they got to do here. My god, holy crap, 276 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:19,640 Speaker 1: And you look at the charge. You guy obviously have 277 00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 1: a fall. Guy. Greg Roman sounds like He's going to 278 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 1: be the fall guy. That's the easy move to make. 279 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 1: The names have changed, though, since Justin Herbert got to 280 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,640 Speaker 1: the Chargers, the names have changed. Shane Steichen was there 281 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 1: his rookie years, Offensive Corn, Mike Lombardi, Kellen Moore. Now 282 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 1: they've had Greg Rome. In the last couple of years. 283 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:40,680 Speaker 1: The one common denominator has been Justin Herbert, the Duke 284 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,400 Speaker 1: of Puke. When it matters, he's the Duke of Puke. 285 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:47,000 Speaker 1: And if Justin Herbert were an appetizer, he would be 286 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 1: the art of choke because he's mastered the art of 287 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 1: the choke. That's what he does, and so looks great 288 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:56,360 Speaker 1: in the regular season, much like Clayton Kershaw looks great 289 00:16:56,360 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 1: in the regular season and then in the playoff, well, 290 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 1: we know how, we know how that goes. Not good? 291 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,280 Speaker 1: All right? Now, last word to the New England side. 292 00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:10,119 Speaker 1: The better stories in the losing locker room. But we 293 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,399 Speaker 1: will go to the winning locker room, the New England 294 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:13,000 Speaker 1: side of things. 295 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:13,200 Speaker 6: Here. 296 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:17,440 Speaker 1: The headline all over the place. Headline reads that Drake 297 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 1: May carries Patriots the wild card win over the Chargers. 298 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:27,399 Speaker 1: Big bold headline all over the interweb. So the question 299 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:32,639 Speaker 1: with the headline reading Drake May carries Patriots to wildcard 300 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 1: win of the Chargers. Is that how this went down? 301 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 1: Is that how this game went down? And so I 302 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:39,840 Speaker 1: don't know who wrote the headline. I'm not sure who 303 00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:43,280 Speaker 1: did that, But whoever wrote the headline there already polishing 304 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 1: the Drake May statue carries the Patriots police with the 305 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:53,440 Speaker 1: capitol p. Come on, this is classic media myth making, 306 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,200 Speaker 1: is what This one is the kind of a fairy 307 00:17:56,280 --> 00:18:01,480 Speaker 1: tale that you write after a downward dog yoga pos. 308 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:03,720 Speaker 1: You're doing that yoga stretch, you know, you do the 309 00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,960 Speaker 1: downward dog and you gotta get a little limber. The 310 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,320 Speaker 1: reason you get limber is because you have to get 311 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:11,920 Speaker 1: limber to bend the truth is what you have to do. 312 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,440 Speaker 1: You have to bend the truth. And this was not 313 00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:20,480 Speaker 1: exactly scaling Mount Everest for Drake May. This was the 314 00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:24,639 Speaker 1: bunny the bunny hill on the ski slope is what 315 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,680 Speaker 1: this was here. It's not black diamond two black diamonds. No, 316 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:31,160 Speaker 1: it was wide. It was very gentle. This This game 317 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 1: good soft launch for Drake May. As a playoff quarterback, 318 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:38,920 Speaker 1: there groomed and ready to go. After three quarters, the 319 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:43,800 Speaker 1: game was a riveting ninety three through seventy five percent 320 00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,880 Speaker 1: of the game was nine to three. The Patriots won 321 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 1: this game because of the defense playing whack a mole 322 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:56,399 Speaker 1: with the Chargers. And also that's we just talked about it, 323 00:18:56,600 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 1: the quarterback, Justin Herbert being completely in over his head 324 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:03,320 Speaker 1: head in a playoff game and the charger showed up. 325 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,600 Speaker 1: Justin Herberts, Oh, we left everything out there essentially what 326 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:07,159 Speaker 1: he said. The charger showed up. It's like they had 327 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 1: one percent on their battery, no charger, and they took 328 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 1: a nap. It was easy street for the Patriots, the 329 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,840 Speaker 1: paved road, no potholes, and there you go. And may 330 00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 1: he just he didn't. All he did was not set 331 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,680 Speaker 1: the kitchen on fire. Do you really need the headline 332 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,240 Speaker 1: carries the Patriots when the quarterback just didn't set the 333 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:31,640 Speaker 1: kitchen on fire, like seriously, whooped? Damn? Do I cue 334 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:35,879 Speaker 1: the bronze statue and all that stuff. It's not the 335 00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 1: hero ball. It was definitely not hero ball. It was 336 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:41,639 Speaker 1: just don't burn the house down. He didn't burn the 337 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:43,200 Speaker 1: house down. Okay, he didn't burn the house down. Let's 338 00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:45,639 Speaker 1: give him a statue. Okay, fine, we'll do that. We'll 339 00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,200 Speaker 1: I'll have all the fanboys call up and lick the 340 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:51,640 Speaker 1: toes of Justin Herbert or Drake May in this case, 341 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:54,200 Speaker 1: not just those guys are also calling up to rip 342 00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 1: or praise rather Justin Justin Herbert, both quarterbacks. But in 343 00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:02,800 Speaker 1: terms of Drake May, Drake he had through three quarters 344 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,679 Speaker 1: right the seventy five percent of the game. Drake May 345 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,960 Speaker 1: had no touchdowns, one interception, couldn't have a touchdown. Nobody 346 00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:12,919 Speaker 1: scored a touchdown for the Patriots or the Chargers. Fumbling around. 347 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,920 Speaker 1: It was like he had greased his hands with butter 348 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,560 Speaker 1: and he was out there fumbling around and all that stuff. 349 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,960 Speaker 1: And so it was survive, advance and all that. And 350 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,920 Speaker 1: the defense did the cooking. The defense did the cooking 351 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,080 Speaker 1: and all that. And now they play the they being 352 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:32,920 Speaker 1: the Patriots, play the Steelers or the Texans, and that 353 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:36,600 Speaker 1: should be difficult. Although I'm not overly impressed with the 354 00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:40,520 Speaker 1: Steelers or the Texans offensively, the Texans with CJ. Stroud 355 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,119 Speaker 1: not very impressed at all with that setup. 356 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,520 Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller 357 00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:50,040 Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on 358 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:53,320 Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app. 359 00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 3: Fox Sports Radio was taking over YouTube and you can 360 00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:57,879 Speaker 3: be a part of it. 361 00:20:58,280 --> 00:20:58,680 Speaker 1: Touchdown. 362 00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 3: Just go to YouTube and search Fox Sports Radio. 363 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:04,639 Speaker 7: Hit that subscribe button and smash that notification belt and 364 00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:07,560 Speaker 7: catch all the videos from your favorite shows, Tim Pro's 365 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,240 Speaker 7: and a Cup of Joe, Dan Patrick, Colin Cowherd, Doug 366 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:13,119 Speaker 7: Gottlieb Cavino, went Rich, The Odd Couple with Rob Parker 367 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:16,040 Speaker 7: and Kelvin Washington, The Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon, 368 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:16,600 Speaker 7: and The. 369 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 2: Ben Maller Show. 370 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:19,880 Speaker 3: Fox Sports Radio on YouTube. 371 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 1: Subscribe, hit that thumbs up icon and comment away playoff coverage. 372 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:29,560 Speaker 1: This hour, we moved to the NFC side of the 373 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,600 Speaker 1: bracket in our lead this hour from the Delaware Valley 374 00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:37,320 Speaker 1: where the fry guy is Fried Daddy, He's he's shaking 375 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,360 Speaker 1: his head and no and Jonathan and Delaware is licking 376 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,159 Speaker 1: his wounds in fats and Philadelphia's passed out in a 377 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:46,800 Speaker 1: gutter somewhere.

There, 380 00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:02,760 Speaker 1: Nick Sirianni's eagle, what the matter, that's the matchup. 381 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:03,080 Speaker 7: That was it. 382 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,679 Speaker 1: You had the reigning champions of the NFL. Kevin Burkhardt 383 00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:10,960 Speaker 1: and Tom Brady had the call on Fox. I don't 384 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:11,960 Speaker 1: know if you saw this game or not. 385 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:12,399 Speaker 5: Maybe not. 386 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:15,960 Speaker 1: We watched it so you would not have to. And 387 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:21,239 Speaker 1: brock Purty, who did not play all that well, did 388 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:23,440 Speaker 1: not play all that well. I'm sure all here that 389 00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:25,359 Speaker 1: he played great from Terry and England and all the 390 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 1: other forty an anapologists. But brock perty did throw the 391 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:33,800 Speaker 1: go ahead six yard touchdown pass to Christian McCaffrey late 392 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. San Francisco was able to get 393 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,159 Speaker 1: the stop on defense and they win the game. They 394 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:44,840 Speaker 1: also used a trick play touchdown, a trick play touchdown 395 00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:50,080 Speaker 1: wide receiver Juwan Jennings touchdown for the forty nine ers 396 00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:54,760 Speaker 1: and eliminating the Philadelphia They're going There will not be 397 00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:58,119 Speaker 1: a back to back champion in the NFL this year. 398 00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,119 Speaker 1: There's not been an NFC team to go back to 399 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 1: back since the early nineties. Is nineteen the Cowboys in 400 00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:07,440 Speaker 1: the early night, so it's been it's been a minute 401 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:10,960 Speaker 1: twenty three to nineteen. The final as the team from 402 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:16,000 Speaker 1: Northern California knocks out the team from Pennsylvania, The forty 403 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:20,280 Speaker 1: nine Ers, now head to take on the much maligned 404 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 1: Sam Darnold and the Seahawks, another matchup these teams played 405 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 1: the last time. Very rarely, as this happened. You play 406 00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:33,080 Speaker 1: a game, and then you the regular season ends, and 407 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,560 Speaker 1: then you have the bye week, and then you come 408 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:37,280 Speaker 1: back and play another game against the team you just 409 00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:39,639 Speaker 1: played before the bye week. But that's the situation. Seattle's 410 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:43,639 Speaker 1: in divisional round of the playoffs. Now, the better story 411 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,320 Speaker 1: is in the losing locker room. A lot of noise, 412 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:51,000 Speaker 1: A lot of noise regarding the future of Nick Sirianni. 413 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 1: He provides a lot of content in these parts on 414 00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,800 Speaker 1: sports talk Radio. Nick Sirianni gives us some good stuff. 415 00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:00,800 Speaker 1: Here's the back of my why don't we go to 416 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:04,639 Speaker 1: the cut two on Sirianni. The Eagles lose to the 417 00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:09,040 Speaker 1: forty nine Ers. Here Sirianni explaining exactly what happened. 418 00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 3: I felt like that was kind of our our story 419 00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 3: as the year. 420 00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:17,000 Speaker 5: As the year progressed and could like I said, like 421 00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:19,200 Speaker 5: you said, good first half, didn't do a good enough 422 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:22,240 Speaker 5: job coaching, didn't do good enough job executing in the 423 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:27,159 Speaker 5: second half. In that third quarter, particularly, you know, some 424 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:31,440 Speaker 5: penalties got us behind the sticks and we had a 425 00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:32,479 Speaker 5: hard time overcoming him. 426 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:34,560 Speaker 3: And that starts with me, starts with you. 427 00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,040 Speaker 1: Of course, I'm sure you're going to turn your resignation 428 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,840 Speaker 1: and say that's it. All right, So let's let's get 429 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,919 Speaker 1: into that's good jumping off point. So the question, how's 430 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 1: Nick Sirianni's job status in Philadelphia right now? How are 431 00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:50,679 Speaker 1: things looking his employment status in Philadelphia? So my observations, 432 00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:54,280 Speaker 1: I got I got Springer, mad scientist, and Larry the 433 00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:56,639 Speaker 1: cable guy, that's an old comedian. We'll combine all of 434 00:24:56,760 --> 00:25:00,280 Speaker 1: these things together and we're going to play Connect three, 435 00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:05,480 Speaker 1: Connect three, all right, So number one number I said, number. 436 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:06,400 Speaker 3: One, number one. 437 00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:12,119 Speaker 1: It is a tangled web of chaos around Nick Sirianni. 438 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:16,320 Speaker 1: At this point, Sirianni is clearly in the danger zone. 439 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 1: He is in the danger zone, Nick Sirianni. And the 440 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:23,480 Speaker 1: smoke is starting to billow up out of the Eagles 441 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:27,520 Speaker 1: facility like a burnt cheese steak. And you can see 442 00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:30,840 Speaker 1: the smoke. It's thick, it's disgusting. Uh, you just left 443 00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:32,960 Speaker 1: that on the grill too long, and now the cheese 444 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:36,159 Speaker 1: steak's burning up. Shame on you. But Sirianni, even if 445 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,920 Speaker 1: he keeps the job, it's not a guarantee he's got 446 00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:42,760 Speaker 1: something explining to do. Now. I've fired Nick Siriotti multiple times, 447 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,240 Speaker 1: and I think there's a pretty good chance that he 448 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:49,000 Speaker 1: does not coach another game for the Philadelphia Eagles, depending 449 00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:51,320 Speaker 1: on what kind of bull crap excuse he can come 450 00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:55,040 Speaker 1: up with here all season, if you're the own that 451 00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:58,000 Speaker 1: may make my elevator pitch, why Nick Sirianni deserves to go, 452 00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:02,080 Speaker 1: I'm gonna make my elevator pick. So all season, Nick 453 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:05,399 Speaker 1: Sirianni played mister tough guy, right, mister tough guy. There 454 00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:10,000 Speaker 1: are people critical of Eagles offense, critical of the coaching 455 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:13,200 Speaker 1: of Nick Sirianni, decisions that he made during the season, 456 00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:17,840 Speaker 1: and through it all, mister tough guy. Nick Sirianni told 457 00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:23,280 Speaker 1: the critics to pound sand Go pound sand Just a 458 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 1: bunch of outside noise, not in the house, outside the house. 459 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,480 Speaker 1: We only worry about what's inside the house. Okay, Fine, 460 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:35,800 Speaker 1: This extreme hubris from Nick Sirianni. He had all the 461 00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:39,399 Speaker 1: answers and he wasn't gonna listen to anyone, anyone at all, 462 00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,520 Speaker 1: had all the answers. Now you look at Nick Sirianni, 463 00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:46,520 Speaker 1: He's got a mouthful of sand. He was pounding sand. 464 00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:50,159 Speaker 1: Now his mouth is filled with sand. There's even some 465 00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:53,480 Speaker 1: shells in there from the ocean. There's some shells in there. 466 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:57,720 Speaker 1: So that's where we are with Sirianni. You look at this, 467 00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,800 Speaker 1: I mean here he was in the AJ Brown own situation. 468 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,840 Speaker 1: They got into a ruckus, a verbal ruckus on the 469 00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:08,600 Speaker 1: sidelines during the game, in the first half of the game. 470 00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:12,520 Speaker 1: Now the spin is spin, spin, spin, spin, spin, spin, 471 00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:16,200 Speaker 1: It's next level spin. Here's Nick Sirianni asked about a 472 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:19,280 Speaker 1: confrontation with wide receiver A. J. Brown takes. 473 00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:21,280 Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, I was trying to get him off 474 00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:23,760 Speaker 5: the field, you know, because we were about to punt 475 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:25,320 Speaker 5: when that was really that was really it. 476 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 1: So I love AJ. 477 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:30,760 Speaker 5: I think he knows how I feel about him, have 478 00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,760 Speaker 5: a special relationship with him. We've we've probably went through 479 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:37,800 Speaker 5: every emotion you can possibly have together. We've laughed together, 480 00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,920 Speaker 5: we've cried together, we've yelled at each other. You know, 481 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:43,080 Speaker 5: we're both emotional. I was trying to get him off 482 00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:45,960 Speaker 5: the field, and you know he never want you know, 483 00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:48,920 Speaker 5: that happens in this game. That happens in this game. 484 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,560 Speaker 1: And but I love him. Yeah, you love him, and 485 00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:54,280 Speaker 1: you're gonna really love him when he's wearing a Chargers 486 00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:56,360 Speaker 1: uniform next year're gonna get many. I really love him. 487 00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:58,919 Speaker 1: I'll send him a note. It'd be great. We'll get 488 00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:02,560 Speaker 1: him a uber to the airport. Will be great. So 489 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:08,000 Speaker 1: here's my take on the AJ Brown Nick Sirianni hullabaloo 490 00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:12,880 Speaker 1: that took place here. So this is not a misunderstanding. 491 00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:18,560 Speaker 1: What I saw was a continuation of a pattern. It's patternicity. 492 00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:24,640 Speaker 1: Jerry Springer like chair throwing festival is what I saw. 493 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,840 Speaker 1: That's what I say. You keep the stars. This is 494 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:31,720 Speaker 1: another thing. We told you how pig headed Nick Sirianni is, 495 00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:35,960 Speaker 1: and it was pretty open from AJ Brown. He was 496 00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:39,080 Speaker 1: not happy. He did not like playing with the coach, 497 00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:42,200 Speaker 1: he did not like playing with Jalen Hurts, the quarterback. 498 00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:45,960 Speaker 1: And so at the trade deadline this was going on 499 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:50,360 Speaker 1: and you had this unhappy player didn't want to be there, 500 00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:53,440 Speaker 1: and so do you keep him or do you trade him? Well, 501 00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:55,280 Speaker 1: the Eagles are like, oh no, we have all the answers. 502 00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:56,760 Speaker 1: Oh he'll be fine, he'll be all right, all right, 503 00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:00,200 Speaker 1: So there you go. You kept him. He went out there, 504 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:02,840 Speaker 1: gave you three catches for twenty five yards. You could 505 00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:05,200 Speaker 1: have gotten a guy from the Winnipeg Blue Bombers that 506 00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:07,720 Speaker 1: would have done the same thing. He also dropped a 507 00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:11,320 Speaker 1: key pass late in the game, although the Eagles did 508 00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:14,000 Speaker 1: gain a first down on the next play, but it 509 00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:18,280 Speaker 1: was an obvious drop and he was barking. Rp bark bark. 510 00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:22,360 Speaker 1: Bart was Sirianni, and Sirianni was barking at him. They 511 00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:25,640 Speaker 1: went back and for like two dogs fighting over a 512 00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:28,840 Speaker 1: pork chop. The head coach and the wide receiver jury 513 00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:31,280 Speaker 1: of the game. So not exactly on the same page, 514 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:35,640 Speaker 1: more like a grease fire in Philadelphia. And don't forget 515 00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:39,640 Speaker 1: while we're on top of the Eagles situation again, Nick 516 00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,800 Speaker 1: sirian had all the answers to everything here. The offensive 517 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:47,600 Speaker 1: cooridinator Kevin Petullo, the OC in Philadelphia, Well, how did 518 00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:51,000 Speaker 1: that go? The Eagles offense a punching bag all season 519 00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:54,200 Speaker 1: long Philadelphia in this game against a rag tag forty 520 00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:58,520 Speaker 1: nine Ers defense, was five of sixteen, just thirty one 521 00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:02,800 Speaker 1: percent on third down. That's not good. I'm told that's 522 00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:05,360 Speaker 1: not good. Same old suck bag offense for the Eagles 523 00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:08,840 Speaker 1: about the same not good, not good, but about the same. Man, 524 00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:11,479 Speaker 1: let's go around twenty points, and they missed a lot 525 00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:15,880 Speaker 1: of opportunities. The Eagles led the entire NFL. I watched 526 00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,160 Speaker 1: Benny versus the Penny. We talked about this. They led 527 00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:22,560 Speaker 1: the NFL and incompetence three and out then more three 528 00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,200 Speaker 1: and out drives than any other team in the NFL. 529 00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:28,440 Speaker 1: So a lot of charity, a lot of charity from 530 00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:33,560 Speaker 1: the Birds, top Birds, and Nick Siriani again not just him, 531 00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:35,560 Speaker 1: but he's the guy that we're talking about. So these 532 00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,720 Speaker 1: guys decided they knew they had deadwood. They're like, we're 533 00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:40,760 Speaker 1: not gonna cut the deadwood out, We're just gonna leave 534 00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:44,640 Speaker 1: the deadwood there. And then they end up sinking and 535 00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:47,960 Speaker 1: one and done. That's it, one and done after resting 536 00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:52,280 Speaker 1: their guys to be fully ready for the NFL playoffs, 537 00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:54,640 Speaker 1: And how did that go? Who goofed? I've got to 538 00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:57,840 Speaker 1: know bunch of people. However, the head coach always is 539 00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:00,120 Speaker 1: the one that gets the bill. The bill comes the 540 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:04,080 Speaker 1: head coach, the head coach gets the bill. Now, meanwhile, Philadelphia, 541 00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:07,800 Speaker 1: the coaching is one problem. They also have an issue 542 00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:10,200 Speaker 1: at quarterback. There are calls now for the Eagles to 543 00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:14,520 Speaker 1: unload Jalen Hurts because that always happens when you lose 544 00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:17,680 Speaker 1: a playoff game, and Jalen Hurts did not play well 545 00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:20,640 Speaker 1: at all, despite being a raginning Super Bowl champion and 546 00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:23,880 Speaker 1: all that. Here is the man of the art. Here's 547 00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:26,480 Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts commenting on what's going on. 548 00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:32,000 Speaker 8: It's always hard to duplicate, you know. It's everything was 549 00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:35,400 Speaker 8: there in front of us, and so just got to really, 550 00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:39,600 Speaker 8: really really improve from it. You know, obviously we all 551 00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:44,640 Speaker 8: could have executed better, but it takes everyone being honest 552 00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:47,440 Speaker 8: with themselves on that and challenging themselves to grow from it. 553 00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:53,000 Speaker 1: All right, So that's all rubbish. What happened? The question 554 00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:57,480 Speaker 1: is what happened to Jalen Hurts performance for the Eagles 555 00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:00,400 Speaker 1: in this game. He said, well, he's gonna have against 556 00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:03,040 Speaker 1: an elite defense. This was not an elite defense. This 557 00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:06,120 Speaker 1: was not an elite defense. Good looking uniforms, not an 558 00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:10,560 Speaker 1: elite defense, not elite at all. So to answer the question, 559 00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,280 Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts, he didn't just miss throws. We were watching 560 00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:17,320 Speaker 1: this game. He missed the whole runway on certain throws 561 00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:19,960 Speaker 1: during the course of this game. The Eagles offense was 562 00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:25,080 Speaker 1: flying like an easy jet flight with the wings duct 563 00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:27,200 Speaker 1: taped together and there's some some glue out and on 564 00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:28,880 Speaker 1: the wing there and that's the other flying. Well, they 565 00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:32,160 Speaker 1: shouldn't fly like that. Jalen Hurts against his top three receivers, 566 00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:37,960 Speaker 1: aj Brown, Devonte Smith and Dallas Goddard, who did a 567 00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,280 Speaker 1: commercial last year on Fox Sports Radio. He voiced a 568 00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:45,880 Speaker 1: commercial Dallas Goddard. Yeah, so they only caught sixty percent 569 00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:49,280 Speaker 1: of passes. He was fifteen of twenty five. Jalen Hurts 570 00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:52,120 Speaker 1: throwing to those guys. Those are his top three guys 571 00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:56,800 Speaker 1: and he had ten incompletions in that stretch here. The 572 00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:00,360 Speaker 1: Eagles offense, it was not a work in progre It 573 00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:05,000 Speaker 1: was a futile effort from beginning to end, with very 574 00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:09,600 Speaker 1: few exceptions, very few exceptions. And so you look at 575 00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:11,320 Speaker 1: the Eagles and you take a couple of steps back, 576 00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:14,760 Speaker 1: and you look at this team this year, and they 577 00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:17,000 Speaker 1: tried to change some things on the fly, but it 578 00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:18,680 Speaker 1: didn't seem like they were really trying to change all 579 00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:21,080 Speaker 1: that much. And it's like a mad scientist from that 580 00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:25,760 Speaker 1: old movie The Fly and the Beaker explodes in the lab. 581 00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:27,920 Speaker 1: And you're like, well, I'm a scientists, and the beaker 582 00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:31,120 Speaker 1: thing explode there, and the experiment went horribly wrong this year, 583 00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:36,719 Speaker 1: after going great when they won the championship, transforming Jalen 584 00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:41,280 Speaker 1: Hurts from the Super Bowl hero to a grotesque creature. 585 00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:45,480 Speaker 1: In this playoff game, and he, Jalen Hurts had the ball. 586 00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:49,880 Speaker 1: If you're supposedly the man, you've got the ball. And 587 00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:52,280 Speaker 1: as you want your quarterback, you have a great quarterback, 588 00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:55,240 Speaker 1: You want your quarterback to have the ball, knowing what 589 00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:58,080 Speaker 1: you need to do to convert at the end of 590 00:33:58,240 --> 00:33:59,959 Speaker 1: the game to win the game and bring a home 591 00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:03,320 Speaker 1: home another round of the playoffs. And so you look 592 00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:06,760 Speaker 1: at this. I remember the beaker exploded here. So Jalen 593 00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:10,360 Speaker 1: Hurts was given the ball, and he was given the opportunity, 594 00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:13,000 Speaker 1: down four points with under three minutes to go in 595 00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:16,920 Speaker 1: the game, matriculate the ball down the field, score a touchdown, 596 00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:19,480 Speaker 1: and the Eagles are going to win the game against 597 00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:23,680 Speaker 1: a short handed rag tag forty nine er defense missing 598 00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:26,600 Speaker 1: Fred Warner and Joey Bosa or Nick Bosa rather it's 599 00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:30,000 Speaker 1: been out all year, both those guys, and still they 600 00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:35,120 Speaker 1: ended up face planting like a drunk guy. Futxing around 601 00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:38,720 Speaker 1: on the people move at the airport, and Jalen Hurst's 602 00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:42,279 Speaker 1: last two passes of the season with the season on 603 00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:47,200 Speaker 1: the line, were deflected and incomplete, deflected and incomplete. And 604 00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:51,040 Speaker 1: so even Jalen Hurst the cheat code, the one thing 605 00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:53,440 Speaker 1: that he did better than everyone else in the NFL, 606 00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:58,600 Speaker 1: the tushy pushy from Jalen Hurts, it has been mostly 607 00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:01,640 Speaker 1: an afterthought late in the year. The Eagles did run it, 608 00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:04,120 Speaker 1: I believe, a couple of times in this game, but 609 00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:06,439 Speaker 1: there were other opportunities they had to run the touch 610 00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:08,960 Speaker 1: push and they chose not to do it. And so 611 00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:14,040 Speaker 1: what are you doing, Like, seriously, you're choosing to you 612 00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:19,239 Speaker 1: hit that delete all button instead of the save on purpose, Like, well, 613 00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:21,120 Speaker 1: you're trying to send some kind of message. My theory 614 00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:23,560 Speaker 1: is they're trying to send a message because the NFL 615 00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:25,640 Speaker 1: is going to revisit getting rid of the touch push 616 00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:27,560 Speaker 1: and banning it. They were only a couple of votes 617 00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:30,080 Speaker 1: away from banning it this past year. So the Eagles, 618 00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:32,080 Speaker 1: the theory is, well, we don't run it that much, 619 00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:34,759 Speaker 1: there will not be this ground swell of support, this 620 00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:37,640 Speaker 1: movement to get rid of the touch push. So we're 621 00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:40,640 Speaker 1: just gonna cut back on running it. Okay, fine, well, 622 00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:42,719 Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts isn't really all that good at anything else, 623 00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:45,680 Speaker 1: So what are you gonna do? What are you going 624 00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:48,239 Speaker 1: to do? And then brock perty tried to give the 625 00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:52,240 Speaker 1: Eagles the game with a pair of interceptions and Jalen 626 00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:54,440 Speaker 1: Hurts is like, I don't need it, I don't want it. 627 00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:58,719 Speaker 1: He averaged less than five yards per throw. That's a 628 00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:03,600 Speaker 1: Super Bowl champion quarter back, Jalen Hurts against that Niners defense. 629 00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:07,319 Speaker 1: That is going to the porta Potti for the chili 630 00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:11,800 Speaker 1: cook off. Nobody wins, everyone's getting sick, everyone's getting a 631 00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:15,680 Speaker 1: championship pedigree. My fat ass uh man. That was a 632 00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:19,480 Speaker 1: cream pie right to the schnaz, right to the schnaz 633 00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:23,440 Speaker 1: right there. The Eagles followed a flight plan which was 634 00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:26,000 Speaker 1: the wrong flight plan, clearly the wrong flight plan in 635 00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:28,719 Speaker 1: this game. And so there you go. Hit a little turbulence. 636 00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:32,960 Speaker 1: They never recovered, didn't do much anything in the second 637 00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:35,920 Speaker 1: half of that game. And Hurts didn't just underperform Jalen 638 00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:39,440 Speaker 1: Hurts in this game. He hit the he hit the 639 00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:41,640 Speaker 1: bump in the road and that was it. That was 640 00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:45,040 Speaker 1: all right, now, final point to the winners locker room, 641 00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:49,560 Speaker 1: the Niners and many people asking the same question. And 642 00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:51,640 Speaker 1: so we will ask the question and attempt to answer, 643 00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:57,200 Speaker 1: how do you explain the undermanned forty nine ers of 644 00:36:57,360 --> 00:37:02,359 Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan, so shorthanded on defense And they go out 645 00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:07,560 Speaker 1: and pull up set City in Philadelphia on a windy, 646 00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:13,759 Speaker 1: cold evening in the Delaware Valley. So this was at 647 00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:16,920 Speaker 1: the beginning. It was the little engine that could. I 648 00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:18,840 Speaker 1: think I can, I think I can, I think I 649 00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:21,280 Speaker 1: can true true, Yeah, that whole thing up the mountain, 650 00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:25,279 Speaker 1: three wheels missing from the chru Choo train and all that, 651 00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:29,080 Speaker 1: and the Chattanooga Chu chru made it up the mountain. 652 00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:31,839 Speaker 1: And so no George Kittle, he got knocked out during 653 00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:35,439 Speaker 1: the game, mentioned Nick Bosa, Fred Warner out all year, 654 00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:39,320 Speaker 1: Brock Purdy coughing up the football a couple of times 655 00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:42,640 Speaker 1: like a cat with a hair ball, and somehow someway 656 00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:45,839 Speaker 1: they kept chug a lugging along and they got the win. 657 00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:48,799 Speaker 1: And so it was the old comedian Larry the cable guy, 658 00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:51,080 Speaker 1: you just gotta get her done. They got her done. 659 00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:54,000 Speaker 1: They got her done with some help. Remember, most games 660 00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:56,920 Speaker 1: are lost, not one with some help by the forty 661 00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:59,400 Speaker 1: nine ers. Not a lot of style points for the 662 00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:01,720 Speaker 1: Niners in this game. You're not going to go post 663 00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:03,759 Speaker 1: about that on Instagram and get a bunch of likes 664 00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:06,560 Speaker 1: and all that stuff. You're not doing that. And they 665 00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:09,840 Speaker 1: just went out there and they got a little dirty 666 00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:12,760 Speaker 1: and all that, and they gang tackle and it worked 667 00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:17,560 Speaker 1: in trick ration with the receiver throwing the touchdown pass, 668 00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:20,959 Speaker 1: and despite brock Purty giving the football away and showing 669 00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:24,320 Speaker 1: he's not a top level quarterback, the Niners won anyway. 670 00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:27,600 Speaker 1: They won anyway under Man. The defense was able to swarm. 671 00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:29,759 Speaker 1: They didn't swarm much on the running game, but the 672 00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:32,400 Speaker 1: passing game they did very well here. And the Eagles 673 00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:38,600 Speaker 1: obviously helped with internal issues in Philadelphia. And so it worked. 674 00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:41,360 Speaker 1: And now the reward for the forty nine ers is 675 00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:46,720 Speaker 1: they get to play Sam Donald the stumblebum. Stumblebum. Sam's 676 00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:50,800 Speaker 1: seeing ghosts right now, and so can you hang around 677 00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:54,520 Speaker 1: enough to let Sam Donald give you the game? 678 00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:58,719 Speaker 2: That's the question in the divisional round.

Give a grill, Ben. 684 00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:15,920 Speaker 6: There were a lot of analysts over the weekend that 685 00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:19,799 Speaker 6: thought that Bryce Young's performance should give the Panthers optimism 686 00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:21,120 Speaker 6: despite the playoff loss. 687 00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:22,840 Speaker 1: Do you agree with that? No, I didn't think he 688 00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:25,240 Speaker 1: was all that good. This is more about the Rams 689 00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:29,680 Speaker 1: screwing things up. Uh. People are trying to latch on 690 00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:31,800 Speaker 1: all these young corps. Oh this God, this is the future. 691 00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:34,640 Speaker 1: This guy's gonna be great. At no point did I 692 00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:37,560 Speaker 1: think that Bryce Young was going to beat the Rams 693 00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:40,040 Speaker 1: in that game. I did not, And it was more 694 00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:43,960 Speaker 1: about the Rams offensive futility and all that He played average. 695 00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:46,520 Speaker 1: There were some stretches, he made some throws, but I'm 696 00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:47,160 Speaker 1: not convinced. 697 00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:51,239 Speaker 6: Next, speaking of playoff losses, Jordan Love had to come 698 00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:54,200 Speaker 6: to the defense of Matt Lafleur, saying, I definitely think 699 00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:55,359 Speaker 6: Matt should be the head coach. 700 00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:57,120 Speaker 1: I've got a lot of love for Matt and I 701 00:39:57,160 --> 00:39:59,560 Speaker 1: think he does a good job. And that's it. Ben. 702 00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:02,120 Speaker 1: Do you think Matt Laflour is gonna stick around? So 703 00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:05,680 Speaker 1: you look at the Packers here, and there's some connections 704 00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:10,680 Speaker 1: to Harbaugh, to John Harball. That would be the only 705 00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:13,120 Speaker 1: way they get rid of Matt Laflor. I would say 706 00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:16,359 Speaker 1: Laflour because of the way the packers do business, five 707 00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:22,000 Speaker 1: hundred thousand stockholders. I say there's about a forty chance 708 00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:24,439 Speaker 1: that he's gone, sixty percent chance that he stays. Next. 709 00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:27,000 Speaker 6: It was reported over the weekend that the Memphis Grizzlies 710 00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:29,160 Speaker 6: are going to shop John Morant. 711 00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:32,040 Speaker 1: Any predictions on where he'll end up, Yes, let me guess. 712 00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:38,200 Speaker 1: Coop La, Miami, New York, or Chicago.
