00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:45,599
Speaker 2: out how to hook me up with that show. What's

15
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:47,919
Speaker 2: we're done here? We are going to play this out

16
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 2: on the air together, all of us. But we have

17
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:53,559
Speaker 2: a rule and that rule is asy as you know,

18
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 2: we push everything aside when Chris mad Dog Russo mispronounces something.

19
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 3: Oh, okay, okay.

20
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 2: So here we have Doggy trying to pronounce this week's

21
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 2: starting quarterback for the Denver Broncos.

22
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,680
Speaker 4: But you have confidence in Peyton getting the most out

23
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:15,119
Speaker 4: of the.

24
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 3: Out of the quarterback in this ball game.

25
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 4: Here stick stick them in this game on Sunday afternoon

26
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 4: against the Patriots.

27
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 3: What's your take with that game?

28
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 4: Let me hear.

29
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 3: Who was on the receiving end of that question. Is

30
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 3: that not pronouncing it correctly? Or is that not knowing

31
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 3: his name? That's just Dog being dog, That's what it is.

32
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 5: You know he went with the stickham and then to

33
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:42,679
Speaker 5: correct himself said.

34
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,960
Speaker 2: No, that sounded right, stick them, Yes, yes, I want

35
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 2: to play it again. I want to play this didham

36
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 2: sound again because you can hear Dog waiting for his

37
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 2: producer to give him the correct pronunciation of the name

38
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 2: in his headset. And perhaps Eddie Eddie Erickson did. But

39
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 2: I have no idea that that's an hung twister. Hey,

40
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 2: you have nothing. First off, you have really coming from you,

41
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:09,959
Speaker 2: black up quarterback.

42
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,959
Speaker 3: That was Taylor clear, Yes, it was Taylor in the

43
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 3: VIP room.

44
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 2: I want you to listen to it closely again because

45
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 2: you can hear mad Dog kind of trying to kill

46
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 2: some time, trying to give his producer some time to

47
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 2: give him the correct pronunciation of a name. That's really

48
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 2: easy to pronounce go ahead.

49
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 4: But you have confidence in Peyton getting the most out

50
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 4: of the out of the quarterback in this ball game. Here,

51
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 4: stick them in this game on Sunday afternoon against the Patriots.

52
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 6: What's your take with that game?

53
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 3: Let me hear it's so good?

54
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 2: Yes, what's the better name there? In fact, Taylor put

55
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 2: that on the poll. Jared Stidham or Jared Stickham?

56
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 3: What's the better name?

57
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 5: Would be a great cornerback name. I don't know about

58
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:58,359
Speaker 5: a quarterback name.

59
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 2: So I said this morning, it would be a great

60
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,079
Speaker 2: wide receiver name. Now that I'm thinking about it, Sticking

61
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 2: would be a great linebacker name, right, Yeah, it kids.

62
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 5: It's a big hit, like hit stick, But I think

63
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 5: of like sticking somebody, like covering somebody and stick to

64
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 5: him like glue.

65
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 3: So that's why I think of a cornerback.

66
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 2: So we'll get back to mad Dog in a second,

67
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 2: his former partner, Mike Francessa, and I grew up listening

68
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 2: to these two guys, Mike and the Mad Dog wfa

69
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 2: N the reason I got into this industry. And I

70
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,920
Speaker 2: love both of them dearly, and I don't think either

71
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 2: would mind if I were making fun of them, And

72
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 2: if they if they do, mind, I will say this respectfully.

73
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 3: I don't care.

74
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 2: Mike Francessa was on his podcast trying to pronounce a

75
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 2: wide receiver's name that I easily pronounced it. Somehow, Mike Francessa,

76
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 2: who was the greatest of all time at this he

77
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 2: had trouble with this name.

78
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 3: Go ahead, guys, Sam's having a really good year.

79
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: Twelve touchdowns, four into steps Smith.

80
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 6: You know, it's amazing how many.

81
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 7: These house state you know, receiver has just come into

82
00:03:59,000 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 7: the league and flourished.

83
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 3: Smith whatever.

84
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 2: That is, Francessa, Jackson Smith in Jigba is the name

85
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 2: he was going for.

86
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 5: I have said on our podcast Dugats and Company several

87
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 5: times that it is possibly the most surprising thing about you, Stu,

88
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 5: and that's saying a lot, is that you're able to

89
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 5: just drop that name like it's nothing.

90
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:32,799
Speaker 3: It just rolls off your tongue.

91
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 5: You can't say the plural or the singular, I'm not

92
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 5: sure of woman, no, no, but you can say Jackson

93
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 5: Smith and Jigba.

94
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 3: Yes, I just butchered. Eddie Erickson, correct, Well, you swallowed

95
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:45,280
Speaker 3: the crack batter of that.

96
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 2: Yes, it's the E and the E right, that's the time,

97
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 2: right when you're talking a little bit too quickly. It's

98
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 2: the e and the e. Uh, that kind of I

99
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 2: got caught up on. So let's go back to dog here.

100
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 2: So again we had dog first with and then we

101
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 2: had Mike Francessa trying to pronounce He just called him Smith,

102
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:08,719
Speaker 2: and he would have been better off just calling.

103
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 5: Him, say, he would have been better off just going

104
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,279
Speaker 5: off on that tangent that he was going off originally

105
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 5: about Ohio state and never revisiting the name.

106
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 6: Jays En was right there for him.

107
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:20,599
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, that's why I do it. Yes, that's exactly right.

108
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 2: So Taylor just quickly here, we're gonna go back to

109
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 2: Doggie here, who tries to pronounce the same name.

110
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 3: But this is from a year ago, correct? Correct?

111
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,559
Speaker 6: I knew at some point dog had to get tripped

112
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 6: up saying this name. So I went back, listened to

113
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 6: all the shows and found a time from last year

114
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 6: when Gino Smith was still the quarterback.

115
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 3: All right, guys, play it.

116
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 4: The Seahawks blocked a forty eight yard field goals four

117
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 4: minutes left, which would have put the patch up six.

118
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 6: That was a big play in his game.

119
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:52,679
Speaker 4: Smith played well and his receivers. Metcalf cought ten, Jackson

120
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 4: Smith and good Juba.

121
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 6: The kid from.

122
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,840
Speaker 4: Ohio State he caught twelve more. And the Seattle team

123
00:05:57,880 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 4: is two and old. They get Miami next week without

124
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 4: so they got a good chance to go three.

125
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 2: And oh, he should just call the kid from Ohio State.

126
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 5: That was just so everybody understands. Look, I know I

127
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,359
Speaker 5: butchered the heck out of that name, but if you

128
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 5: know anything about football, the kid from Ohio States, that's

129
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 5: the one I was pronounced.

130
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 3: So, by the way, those two the greatest to ever

131
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 3: do this. Yes, I love them, I do is he.

132
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 2: I am having a hard time And Chris Sims is

133
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 2: going to join us, and I know you want to

134
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:30,600
Speaker 2: play an NBA game with us, and we'll do that

135
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,719
Speaker 2: coming up in the next epic. Because I want to

136
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 2: do it, I have to start shifting my attention to something.

137
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,479
Speaker 2: And it's not pictures and catchers. It's going to be

138
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 2: the NBA. Perhaps March Madness, definitely Augusta U. But so

139
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 2: I do want to play this game today, Mikey has

140
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 2: his mid out. Why do you have a glove out?

141
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 2: A catcher's glove? What are you doing back there?

142
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 3: P's and c's.

143
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 2: Yes, uh so I do want to shift my focus

144
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 2: to the NBA. So we will play this game, and

145
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 2: I promise you that Taylor will hijack the game with

146
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 2: a game.

147
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 3: That he would rather play. I don't believe any of it.

148
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 3: What do you mean you don't believe that. I don't

149
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 3: believe any of it.

150
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 5: There was one show I was promised we would talk basketball.

151
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 3: We didn't. Then I don't believe we're gonna do it today.

152
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 3: But we'll see.

153
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 2: All Right, Taylor, you're gonna let him play this game.

154
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 2: I'm begging you to let him play this game with us. Okay, yeah,

155
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 2: we could get to the Freddy Perrault to trade. After that,

156
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 2: Stevie Cohen finally spending some money, met fans are finally happy.

157
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 2: I think I have no idea, but I maintained that

158
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 2: I know. Colin Cowhor disagrees. The Dodgers awful for the

159
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 2: sport of baseball, just terrible. They're terrible for the sport

160
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 2: of baseball. It is not good to have that much

161
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 2: in balance. I know, once you get to the postseason,

162
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 2: things are random, but that team is guaranteed to make

163
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 2: it to the postseason every single season.

164
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 3: And they've won the.

165
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 2: World Series the last two years. It's unfair, and they

166
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 2: keep adding on players. It's ridiculous, it's absurd. And I

167
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 2: don't care who the Mets are. They have no chance

168
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 2: of beating the Dodgers at the best semesteries.

169
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 3: But I digress.

170
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 5: This whole front page of notes is just Mets edition,

171
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 5: and you're still just killing the Dodgers for adding too

172
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 5: many people.

173
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 3: I want you to understand something.

174
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 2: The show sheet that Taylor puts together would be for

175
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 2: Taylor if he were hosting this show.

176
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 5: I mean that is so true because I circled something

177
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 5: or not to get us off on a tangent here,

178
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 5: but I circled something in here that it just feels

179
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 5: like he just wants us to ask what his deal

180
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 5: is with this particular subject. Because it says is it

181
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 5: time for the SEC to retire?

182
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 3: It just means more. I don't think that's a very

183
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 3: long conversation.

184
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 5: I just think that's Taylor an acc guys saying, you

185
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 5: know what SEC take that.

186
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 3: You don't deserve that anymore? Am I right? Taylor?

187
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,199
Speaker 6: Well, I'm glad you brought that up because the SEC

188
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 6: was four and ten in ball season this season. Yes,

189
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 6: but two of those four wins were against other SEC teams.

190
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 6: The third was Ole Miss beating two Lane, and then

191
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 6: the fourth was Texas beating Michigan and Texas Texas's Johnny

192
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 6: come Lately when it comes to the SEC. So SEC,

193
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 6: if you're gonna say it just means more, start winning

194
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 6: when it actually matters. Because three straight years the Big Ten.

195
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 6: Thank you, Thank you, Asy for letting me get that off.

196
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 3: You just check that out the list that one's done.

197
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:10,680
Speaker 5: I'll see if there's a couple more in there that

198
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 5: we should chime in on later of the show.

199
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 2: So, Izzy, I am having a hard time, which is

200
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 2: which is rare for me, at least getting excited about

201
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 2: Championship Sunday in the NFL. Now there's a tinge of

202
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 2: sadness that comes with Championship Sunday. You're excited for it,

203
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 2: you can't wait to watch the games, but you also

204
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 2: realize we have three football games left before mikey A

205
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 2: pulls out his catcher's glove and starts thinking about p's

206
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 2: and c's pitchers and catchers reporting the spring training.

207
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 3: That glove looks like it's from eighteen hundred. It is.

208
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 6: Just bought it.

209
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 3: Did you really how much is a glove these days? Yeah?

210
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,079
Speaker 3: They're expensive, right, Yeah.

211
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 6: I talked.

212
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:51,959
Speaker 8: I talked him down to about forty dollars on this one.

213
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 8: I just want it easy to know. This is where

214
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 8: my head's at.

215
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 2: Okay, I think I knew when we play the NBA game,

216
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 2: have that glove on the entire iron time.

217
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 3: Please.

218
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 2: So I'm having a hard time getting myself excited for

219
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 2: Championship Sunday because the storylines to me, just aren't that interesting,

220
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,440
Speaker 2: and I'm wondering if you're experiencing the same thing.

221
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 3: Let me elaborate for just a second.

222
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 2: Please, Sam Darnold winning his first Super Bowl like, that's

223
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 2: not a big it's not a.

224
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 3: Big enough storyline for me.

225
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 2: Seattle, great team, fourteen and three, they're the one seed,

226
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 2: They're a home game away from making it to the

227
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 2: Super Bowl. Apologies to Seattle. I just don't care about

228
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 2: that team enough, Okay, I really do. Then you have

229
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 2: you know, you have Denver with Jared Stickham, great cornerback,

230
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 2: and maybe there's a storyline there with Sean Payton winning

231
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 2: his second Super Bowl, which puts him in an entirely

232
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 2: different category when you're talking about the greatest coaches of

233
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 2: all time, especially if you win one with your backup

234
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 2: quarterback Jared Stickham.

235
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 3: So you have that storyline a.

236
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 5: Whole lot of people sitting at home saying, wow, I

237
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 5: really want to coach to win number two.

238
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 3: Right Sean and that coach in particular, Sean Payton.

239
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 2: And then you have Matthew Stafford, who was going for

240
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 2: his second Super Bowl since leaving Detroit, and Stafford that

241
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:17,199
Speaker 2: would put him in a different category of quarterbacks in

242
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,079
Speaker 2: terms of how we kind of look back at these things.

243
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,959
Speaker 2: And a guy with two Super Bowl rings. And I

244
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 2: guess a lot of people are probably rooting for the

245
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 2: veteran Matthew Stafford because he seems like a good guy,

246
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 2: very popular guy, and I think people are rooting.

247
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 3: For him to pull it off.

248
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 2: And then you have the Patriots and can they kind

249
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 2: of turn it around this quickly and be the most

250
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:40,319
Speaker 2: dominant team in the NFL again?

251
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 8: No?

252
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 3: Last the last Patriots Super Bowl win? What year was that?

253
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:46,559
Speaker 3: Taylor would know and he'll look it up. Well, he's

254
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 3: a new new Patriots fan, so I don't know if

255
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 3: he knows right off a long six years. Yes, Patriots,

256
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 3: Oh my, No, they've done a remarkable job they have.

257
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 3: Give Bob Kraft credit.

258
00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 2: Got the right coach in there, they got the right

259
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:01,959
Speaker 2: quarter are back in there, and they have a really

260
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:05,320
Speaker 2: good shot because they're taking on Jared Stickham in the

261
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,439
Speaker 2: AFC Championship game, so they have.

262
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 3: A good shot of advance. Thank you, Thank you, guys.

263
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 2: But I really just I really just have none of

264
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 2: the storylines that I just kind of laid out for you.

265
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 2: They mean nothing to me, and I'm not certain they

266
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 2: mean anything to anyone nationally unless.

267
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 3: You live in one of those four markets, you know.

268
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 5: And it's funny because normally the NFL just transcends all

269
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 5: there's always enough there.

270
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 3: There seems to be.

271
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 5: And you know, most people would say, I don't need

272
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,439
Speaker 5: storylines to show me good football, and I think that's

273
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 5: not true, especially when it comes to, you know, the

274
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 5: biggest game of the year that you have two weeks

275
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 5: of build up for. So it's yeah, I think you

276
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 5: can cheer for the best Super Bowl possibility, which would

277
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 5: probably be Rams Patriots, and that's what you're pulling for.

278
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:58,440
Speaker 5: And I think the Rams and the way their offense runs.

279
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 5: I think Pukinakua, just as a football player, is just

280
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 5: phenomenal to watch because it feels like any the ball

281
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 5: anywhere in his vicinity, he can always get there. So

282
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 5: there's enough entertainment to where it's like, all right, I'm

283
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 5: good for these two games, but in comparison to most

284
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 5: conference championship weekends, it feels a little empty.

285
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 3: It does, by the way, if Sean Payton did win.

286
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 2: Like of the coaches who have won this is interesting,

287
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 2: of the coaches who have won multiple Super Bowls who

288
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 2: have done it with the worst quarterbacks, because I would say,

289
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 2: like Drew Brees great obviously, Jared Stickham not so great.

290
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 2: And if he wins this one, that's fairly impressive winning

291
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 2: two games, the AFC Championship Game and the Super Bowl

292
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 2: with your backup quarterback. If people are comparing it to

293
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 2: Jeff Hostetler, it is not that is not the same situation.

294
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:48,560
Speaker 5: I would like Jared'stidham to survive a quarter before we

295
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:50,839
Speaker 5: start talking about him winning two games and one of

296
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 5: them being the Super Bowl.

297
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 3: Let's just see how he survives a quarter.

298
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 2: But I'm just wondering of the coaches, I think it's

299
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 2: Parcels now that I'm thinking about it. Parcels won what now,

300
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,679
Speaker 2: Phil Simms was a good quarterback. A lot of people

301
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:05,319
Speaker 2: feel like he should be in the Hall of Fame.

302
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 2: Chris Sims, his son, will join us later on the show.

303
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 2: But Parcels won with Phil Simms and Jeff Hostetler. M

304
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 2: now Hostetler Sims got hurt. I think twelve games into

305
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 2: that season, Hostetler had four games to ramp up get

306
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 2: ready for the playoffs, and then took that team to

307
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl.

308
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 3: They beat the Buffalo Bills in that Super Bowl.

309
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 2: And I'm just trying to think of the coaches who

310
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 2: have won Super Bowls with the worst quarterbacks, of the

311
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 2: coaches who have won multiple Super Bowls, because I think

312
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 2: if we just said one super Bowl would be Trent dilferd.

313
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 8: Right, Bellichick one with a backup Tom Brady. Ye, that

314
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 8: first year it was Drew Bledsoe.

315
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 2: You're right, yeah, But he didn't win with anyone else.

316
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 2: That's the problem, you know, it was just Brady.

317
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 3: So I don't know.

318
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 2: I'm just having a hard time getting myself excited for

319
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 2: uh and it seems weird.

320
00:14:57,800 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 3: It's such a weird feeling.

321
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 2: It's Championship Sunday, and I can't get myself excited because

322
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 2: I don't care about Seattle and Sam Donald, Yes.

323
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 5: So much so that I spent that entire time wondering

324
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 5: if it was tinge of sadness or twinge of sadness.

325
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 5: And it is tinge of sadness technically. But if you

326
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 5: look at the definition, they both work.

327
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah they do. How about that You don't look

328
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 3: up the quarterbacks? Well I didn't. I didn't. I looked

329
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 3: at the show sheet. Taylor wasn't in there. Yes, information

330
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 3: not there? Thank your contribution? What do you got, Taylor? Stu?

331
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 6: What if you look at it from the angle of

332
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 6: right now, Matthew Stafford in the club of the Hall

333
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 6: of Fame, Matthew Stafford's probably fifteenth, twentieth in line. His

334
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 6: stats are a little underwhelming in comparison to other Hall

335
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 6: of Fame quarterbacks. Yes, but if Stafford is able to

336
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 6: win a second Super Bowl, I think he goes to

337
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 6: the front of the line.

338
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 3: So what do you Why is he in line?

339
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 5: By the way, he's not in line. He already has

340
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 5: the bracelet, he's guaranteed it. He's about to win MVP

341
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 5: at age thirty seven.

342
00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 2: No, so I think what Taylor's trying to say, if

343
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 2: if I can correct you.

344
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 3: Here is Matthew staff and is he is? Right?

345
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 2: Stafford's already in the Hall of Fame, but he's in

346
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 2: a different room. He's in the room of people with

347
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 2: one ring. Okay, so you're saying, what happens to him

348
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 2: if he wins a second ring? He goes to a

349
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 2: very special room, Taylor. He does, like to use your

350
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 2: analogy or however you laid it out for us, he

351
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 2: is technically if he was waiting to get into this

352
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 2: lame club in Canton called the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

353
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 2: And I got to tell you, if you've never been

354
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 2: to Canton, Wow, there's the Pro Football Hall of Fame

355
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 2: surrounded by strip clubs.

356
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 3: It's a weird place, it really is.

357
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 2: But what Taylor is saying is how much would this

358
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 2: move Matthew Stafford up? And it would move him up

359
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 2: drastically in my opinion, because now you're talking about a

360
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 2: quarterback that has multiple Super Bowl championships.

361
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 3: He's going to be a.

362
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 2: First ballot Hall of Famer and he's going to go

363
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 2: into a very special room if he does have two rings.

364
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 3: Now it with Taylor, is that what you meant? Goida? Yeah?

365
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:04,919
Speaker 6: And also Ricardo here in the VIP room with me.

366
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 6: He pitched that maybe Joe Gibbs winning with Rippin and

367
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 6: thisman should be in consideration.

368
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 3: That's a good one. And Campbell it was Doug Williams.

369
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:14,879
Speaker 6: Williams, Doug Williams.

370
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:25,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, Who's Campbell? I mean Jason Campbell. Who's Ricardo? Put

371
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 3: it on the Paul Taylor, Who's Ricardo? Yes?

372
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 1: Or no?

373
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 3: Oh? God? Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. That's

374
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,639

378
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,880
Speaker 2: the podcast we do before we get in here. We're

379
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 2: cracking out like two three hours every single day before

380
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 2: we even get in here, which would probably explain why

381
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 2: we're exhausted by the time we get in here and

382
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 2: why I can't say Eddie ericson, I feel fine, all right,

383
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 2: but Chris Simms is the best in the business. Of course,

Speaker 2: Unbuttoned podcast as well, and one of the hosts of

386
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:16,160
Speaker 2: Football Night in America Sunday Night Football their pregame show,

387
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:20,120
Speaker 2: Chris Simms joins us. Now, Chris, was that a sloppy

388
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 2: a game? Because I was amazed by it? But was

389
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 2: that as sloppy a game as you've seen Josh Allen

390
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:26,680
Speaker 2: play ever?

391
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:32,199
Speaker 9: Definitely? Definitely definitely. Now My defense always for is, you

392
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 9: know this is he's got to do everything, and you

393
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 9: ever notice that they never win games when he doesn't

394
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 9: play just awesome, And that's where I always go the

395
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 9: roster just not good enough. I don't care what anybody says.

396
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 6: We see game.

397
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:47,119
Speaker 9: We see quarterbacks playing worse than worse than Josh Allen,

398
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 9: and their teams still find ways to win. They're not

399
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:51,879
Speaker 9: capable of doing that. And that's where I don't necessarily

400
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:55,239
Speaker 9: agree with McDermott taking the fall maybe over the GM right,

401
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 9: I kind of side with the coach on that one too.

402
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 9: Like not too many all pros we've talked about in Buffalo,

403
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 9: we never talk about a difference maker that we got

404
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 9: to change the game plan for on either side of

405
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:09,160
Speaker 9: the ball. So that doesn't match up to other teams

406
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 9: that have gone to the Super Bowl, right, the Eagles,

407
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,200
Speaker 9: we've talked about it's an All Star All Pro team.

408
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:15,879
Speaker 9: Then when they were in the Super Bowls, I mean

409
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 9: it's like, oh my god, oh my god. H positions

410
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 9: like that. It's one Pro Bowl in an All Pro

411
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 9: after another. The Chiefs, of course, tons of them, the

412
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 9: forty nine ers teams that lost in the Super Bowl,

413
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 9: tons of them, I mean tons of them. Like, oh

414
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,679
Speaker 9: my gosh, it's an All Star team again. So you know,

415
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 9: the Buccaneers with Brady team was stacked with talent. Buffalo

416
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,919
Speaker 9: doesn't match up in that department with those guys. McDermott

417
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 9: and Josh Allen have closed that gap and made a

418
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 9: fugazy Oh this is a super Bowl team. And you

419
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:46,920
Speaker 9: know me, I've been here with you guys for three

420
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,880
Speaker 9: years agoing it's not really a super Bowl team. It's

421
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 9: a real good team with one of the greatest quarterbacks

422
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 9: we've ever seen. But to your point, yeah, Josh Allen,

423
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:59,120
Speaker 9: he played arguably his worst game of the year. Right

424
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,719
Speaker 9: when you talk about stakes and then some things that

425
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:05,119
Speaker 9: were available to be had. He played awesome in the

426
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 9: first half.

427
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 6: Awesome.

428
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 9: I mean I'm writing in my notes on my phone

429
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 9: going Josh Allen is bawling.

430
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 6: He's taken over the game.

431
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:13,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was what I was thinking, this year is

432
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 3: the year. Yes, that's why he was.

433
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,679
Speaker 9: Thirteen to fifteen. They were going up and down the

434
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 9: field on the Broncos. He was he'd run first forty

435
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 9: yards already in the first half, but the play at

436
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 9: the end of the half was inexcusable. Like and that's

437
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 9: where Josh Allen very rarely leaves plays on the field.

438
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 9: He usually is a maximizer and that's what's disappointing is

439
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 9: he didn't do that in a big game.

440
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,879
Speaker 6: Sims. One of the strangest parts about that Bill's press

441
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 6: conference yesterday was the strays that Keon Coleman was taking.

442
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 6: Is that something if you're a Keon Coleman that you

443
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 6: come back from? Or is his time in Buffalo almost over?

444
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 2: He caught a touchdown last week in a playoff games

445
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:50,640
Speaker 2: and yeah.

446
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:52,719
Speaker 9: Yeah, right, he's got some work to do. I mean,

447
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:54,920
Speaker 9: he knows where he stands. I mean, he hasn't lived

448
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 9: up to what he should be at this point, right.

449
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,880
Speaker 9: I don't think he's handled himself like they truly want

450
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,959
Speaker 9: as you know, a first round receiver and being a professional.

451
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,440
Speaker 9: So all that's led to him not dressing in certain

452
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 9: games and doing all that. But I think the strays

453
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 9: are not and Kean Coleman shouldn't take it personal. The

454
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 9: strays are more about the big picture stuff we're talking about.

455
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:20,359
Speaker 9: The Bills don't have a number one receiver. The Bills

456
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 9: don't have a number two receiver. They don't have a

457
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 9: one or a two.

458
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:26,199
Speaker 3: I mean they had digs and he shipped them out.

459
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:28,640
Speaker 6: I mean they had digs and digs. Again, even at

460
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 6: this point of his career. I know he was the

461
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 6: leading receiver to the pay. He's not a true number one.

462
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:34,159
Speaker 6: He's a real good.

463
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,919
Speaker 9: Number two with the team and the Patriots who have

464
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 9: other twos and threes, and they focused the offense around him. Right,

465
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 9: So that's where, Yes, he was a number one early

466
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,400
Speaker 9: on in his career, but that's what we're talking about.

467
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 6: It's lack of those type of players.

468
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:50,400
Speaker 3: Right.

469
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 9: Daldon kin kid was supposed to be a star. He's

470
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 9: been good, but he hasn't lived up to it.

471
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 6: Right.

472
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 9: Ed Oliver is supposed to be a star. He's been good. Again,

473
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,160
Speaker 9: I'm not taking away from any of it. Like Brandon,

474
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 9: Bean's done.

475
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:02,680
Speaker 6: A lot of good.

476
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 9: But I also sit here and stick up for Sean

477
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,439
Speaker 9: McDermott and go, yeah, but the team is not nearly

478
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 9: as good as like we've talked about some of the

479
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 9: other teams that have been in the Super Bowl and

480
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 9: been in that window here the last few years.

481
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:17,199
Speaker 2: Chris, do you think Josh Allen has done it? How

482
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:19,399
Speaker 2: does this work in the NFL? Because I think people

483
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 2: are fascinated by this.

484
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 3: Do you think.

485
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:24,400
Speaker 2: Pagoula and Beat does Josh Allen have a saying whether

486
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 2: or not McDermott remains his head coach.

487
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 9: I think if he went in there and was like,

488
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 9: you can't fire him, no way, don't do it right,

489
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:35,399
Speaker 9: they wouldn't have done it. Okay one, But I know

490
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 9: Josh Allen well enough and been around him enough to

491
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:40,120
Speaker 9: know that he's not into it. He wouldn't do either one.

492
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 9: I would be shocked. Right, He's gonna let the people

493
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 9: and the powers of be run the thing. I think

494
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:50,399
Speaker 9: one of the reasons Josh Allen was crying so hard

495
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:52,920
Speaker 9: act you got him fired, he knew he might get

496
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:54,400
Speaker 9: fired exactly right.

497
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:56,400
Speaker 6: I mean, he's Josh Allen's not stupid.

498
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 9: He's heard people like me on TV and Florio and

499
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:02,679
Speaker 9: you guys and other people go, you know, if the

500
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:04,680
Speaker 9: Bills don't get to the super Bowl, or if they

501
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:07,920
Speaker 9: lose one of these first you know, wild card divisional round,

502
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 9: Sean McDermott might get fired. I mean that was going

503
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 9: around the NFL. I had been saying it. I mean, so,

504
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 9: you know, I think that's part of the emotional plea.

505
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,439
Speaker 9: What you saw from Josh Allen after the game is

506
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:22,920
Speaker 9: he knew not only did he let his team down

507
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 9: and he missed opportunities that he usually doesn't miss. I

508
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 9: think he also knew that this could lead to, yeah,

509
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:29,639
Speaker 9: the head coach being fired.

510
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 3: Am I crazy to think the Bill should hire Belichick?

511
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:40,399
Speaker 6: Yeah? I think you will, thank you, Okay, Yeah.

512
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:43,120
Speaker 9: I mean I wouldn't want to go that way at

513
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 9: this age where he's at. I mean, you know again, yes,

514
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 9: and there's just been some questionable decisions. I know he

515
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 9: could still coach ball, but there's just been other issues too,

516
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 9: you know, and also with the with Belichick, the problem

517
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 9: I think he'd have is just like, yeah, how many

518
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 9: good years does he have left if he goes up there?

519
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 3: Right?

520
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 9: I think a lot of coaches around the league and

521
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:06,880
Speaker 9: they go like, is Bill gonna hang in there too long?

522
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:08,200
Speaker 9: I don't know if I want to root my whole

523
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 9: family and then he retires two years from now, right, right,

524
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 9: So that doesn't I don't think that's the direction you

525
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 9: want to go.

526
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 6: I don't.

527
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 9: It feels like to me right now about it's gonna

528
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 9: be either Joe Brady the offensive coordinator or maybe Brian

529
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 9: Dayball that if he made me guess, I'd say it's

530
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:24,640
Speaker 9: one of those two. As I sit here right now

531
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:26,120
Speaker 9: on a Thursday talking to you.

532
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 2: Guys, what can you tell Dolphin fans about Jeff Hafley.

533
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 9: Hafley's a head coach. That's the one thing I'll tell you,

534
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 9: like no doubt about it. I always knew he'd be

535
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 9: a head coach and if you were around him, he's

536
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 9: that kind of personality that can command a room and

537
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:42,400
Speaker 9: have relationships and be that guy and then his defense

538
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 9: is legit, right.

539
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 6: I mean, he is one of.

540
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:49,400
Speaker 9: The better game plan specific defensive coordinators in all of football.

541
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:51,919
Speaker 9: He can do it a lot of different ways. So

542
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 9: I think that's what's awesome about him. He's gonna bring

543
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 9: physicality to the crew. He's gonna bring smart defensive game

544
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:01,160
Speaker 9: planning on a way week to week basis.

545
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:05,440
Speaker 8: Since your boy Florio put out a report that there's

546
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:09,399
Speaker 8: a possibility Lamar Jackson could be intrigued by going to

547
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:12,160
Speaker 8: the Raiders. And my question for you is, what kind

548
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 8: of gummy did you slip into his morning coffee to

549
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 8: make a decision?

550
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 6: I have an agree. I mean I need to ask

551
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:22,120
Speaker 6: him that. I got to ask him that, you know, hey,

552
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 6: could you get me one? I figured you already had

553
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:26,680
Speaker 6: your own, so you were good.

554
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 9: But either way, I mean, I was surprised to hear

555
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 9: that too, right, I was, you know, And I don't

556
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:39,240
Speaker 9: know if it's just conjecture or theory or whatever. You know,

557
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,640
Speaker 9: I certainly can believe that Lamar would love to get

558
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 9: to South Florida.

559
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:44,879
Speaker 6: I get that. It's gonna be interesting to me here

560
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:46,119
Speaker 6: to see.

561
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 9: How quickly Lamar wants to renegotiate or negotiate a new contract.

562
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 3: Right.

563
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 9: Steve Bushati was pretty clear in his press conference of

564
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 9: like I talked to Lamar. I told him we wanted

565
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,200
Speaker 9: to get it done early. We can use the same

566
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:00,879
Speaker 9: contract as before, except we'll just boost the numbers up

567
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:01,440
Speaker 9: a little bit.

568
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 6: Right, So, like, if Lamar really wants.

569
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:06,239
Speaker 9: To be in Baltimore, he's just gonna be like, hey,

570
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:08,359
Speaker 9: let's do it, let's sign it, blah blah blah. But

571
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 9: if he delays a little bit and him's and Hawes like,

572
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 9: I don't know, and there is thought out there that

573
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 9: he'd like to go to South Florida, then my things like,

574
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 9: mike Y Eddy, your point is like, why would you

575
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 9: want to go to the Raiders right now? I mean

576
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:24,160
Speaker 9: you know, I mean, Lamar, you'll be You'll be two

577
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:25,879
Speaker 9: or three years older by the time they get the

578
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 9: team situated in the right spot. And that's where I

579
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:30,879
Speaker 9: just can't imagine that that fancies Lamar Jackson.

580
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:33,440
Speaker 2: I'm interested in Jared Stidham and what's going to happen

581
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 2: here with a lot of people are comparing him to

582
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 2: what the Giants did with Jeff Hosteler, to which I keep.

583
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:39,359
Speaker 3: Saying, no, that's different.

584
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 2: Your dad got hurt eleven games into the season, I think,

585
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 2: and Hosteler had five games before to kind of ramp

586
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:47,159
Speaker 2: up and get ready for a playoff run.

587
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 3: They eventually won the Super Bowl.

588
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 2: This is a guy being thrust into the AFC Championship

589
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:52,200
Speaker 2: game who.

590
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 3: Hasn't played in a long time. There is no ramping

591
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 3: up here.

592
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 2: He's gonna have to face the fire in the biggest

593
00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 2: game of his life.

594
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 3: Do you think he can pull it off? You know him,

595
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 3: Do you think he can pull it off?

596
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 6: Well? I do think he can pull it off.

597
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:07,479
Speaker 9: You know, it's gonna take a team effort, right, You

598
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 9: can't got to break them into the game kind of

599
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 9: slowly early on. Their defense is gonna have to play

600
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 9: well and know that, hey, we got to buy our

601
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 9: quarterback some time to get in a little rhythm here, right.

602
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:19,400
Speaker 9: We can't expect them to come out and just be like, oh,

603
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 9: seven for eight on the first drive for sixty yards

604
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:25,440
Speaker 9: and a touchdown. I'd be shocked if that happened. Okay,

605
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 9: so yeah, it's but yeah, I think people are disregarding

606
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 9: the Broncos a little too strongly here. You know, they're

607
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:35,680
Speaker 9: at home, they match up with the Patriots. The Patriots

608
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:37,879
Speaker 9: have been shaky on the offensive side of the ball,

609
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 9: so to think that they can't win a defensive twenty

610
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,880
Speaker 9: to seventeen type of football game, that's where I would

611
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 9: go watch out everybody right now, Like you said, there's

612
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,360
Speaker 9: the hosteler thing where, Yeah, I think the Giants might

613
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:52,439
Speaker 9: have been twelve and two or eleven and two when

614
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 9: my dad got hurt against the Buffalo Bills, and they

615
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:59,399
Speaker 9: changed their offense a little bit. Right, My dad was

616
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:01,879
Speaker 9: the number one passer and football that year. The Giants

617
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:04,120
Speaker 9: were throwing the ball and being pretty aggressive, but they

618
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 9: had the ability to have a power running game too, right,

619
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:09,359
Speaker 9: So you saw it. You remember you saw Super Bowl

620
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 9: twenty five. I mean, the Giants kind of down the

621
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:14,680
Speaker 9: stretch just said we're gonna run the ball three out

622
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:15,680
Speaker 9: of every four plays.

623
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 6: We're gonna chew up clock.

624
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:20,360
Speaker 9: We got Belichick and these great defensive players, and we're

625
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:23,200
Speaker 9: gonna kind of play that way. Now, I don't think

626
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:25,399
Speaker 9: that Broncos can rely on their run game like that.

627
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:28,879
Speaker 9: So you know, Stidham knows the offense, They're not gonna

628
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 9: have to hold back things. It's still gonna be about

629
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 9: getting him comfortable early on. And I think that's where

630
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:35,679
Speaker 9: I look at it and go, yeah, I think they

631
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 9: got a fighting chance too. And then if their defense,

632
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 9: like you know, Drake Mays fumbled six times in two

633
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 9: games and he's starting two interceptions. He's not playing MVP

634
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:48,719
Speaker 9: caliber football. He's been shaky. So if their defense can

635
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 9: recover one of those fumbles or get a pick or

636
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 9: all of that, and Stidham can just kind of stay

637
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 9: the course. Then you go, Yeah, the Broncos at home

638
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 9: with that decon, they upset the Patriots, of course they can,

639
00:28:58,200 --> 00:28:58,959
Speaker 9: no doubt about it.

640
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 6: I was looking at divisional round qbrs and Drake May

641
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 6: had the lowest QBR of the quarterbacks that played the

642
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 6: divisional round. What have you seen from Drake May and

643
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 6: yse not playing at that MVP level that we saw

644
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 6: during the regular season.

645
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 9: Well, he played two really good defenses and to have

646
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 9: a worse QBR than C. J. Stroud, I don't know

647
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 9: how that would be even be that tells you that

648
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 9: there's something wrong with how they do QBR. Right, we

649
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 9: don't need a QBR to go who played quarterback the

650
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 9: worst last weekend? But like what, there's something wrong with

651
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 9: the formula? Go back to the drawing board, Like are

652
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 9: you kidding me?

653
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 6: That's crazy? Something said that that quarterback?

654
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:41,239
Speaker 3: I mean, it really is.

655
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 9: That's unbelievable, Like challenge flag on that. But yes, he's

656
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:48,720
Speaker 9: I respect Drake May because he's he really can keep

657
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 9: his eyes downfield and stay calm under pressure, right, but

658
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 9: a little too calm lately, Like come on, you know

659
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 9: you're playing the Chargers, you're playing Houston, like, you can't

660
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 9: just totally block it out. Gotta be a little aware

661
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 9: in the pocket of who you're playing against. And your

662
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 9: own team hasn't protected all that well as of late either,

663
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 9: So I feel like pocket presence has not been the best,

664
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 9: and he's been a little off throwing the football. I

665
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 9: know he had the two go routes down the sideline

666
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 9: in the game last week, right, he had that, and sure,

667
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 9: but there's been also another number of errant throws.

668
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 6: So it's a little bit of everything.

669
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 9: And that's again where you know, you look at this

670
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 9: and go, Denver's gonna feel like they can pressure him

671
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 9: a little bit. Denver's gonna go, hey, we got pat

672
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 9: certain he can take digs and then we could put

673
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 9: other guys and cover him that way. Right, So that's

674
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 9: where you give Denver the fighting chance. The only problem

675
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 9: is New England's gonna feel really good on the defensive

676
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 9: side of the ball. How they match up against Denver too.

677
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 9: They're gonna go, wait, oh, you want to run the ball.

678
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 9: Early on, we stopped the run and you're not that

679
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 9: good at running, Denver, Oh, you want to throw a

680
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:54,240
Speaker 9: little short screen passes and stuff like that and get

681
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 9: going They're gonna go, We're gonna smother you and get

682
00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 9: in your face.

683
00:30:57,720 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 6: We're not really scared of it.

684
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 9: Like Christian Gonzales is gonna take Cortland sudden, Carlton Davis

685
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 9: will take the receiver. On the other side, Marcus Jones

686
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 9: is one of the best nickels in all of football.

687
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 9: So I think they're gonna play the like, oh oh,

688
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 9: you think you're gonna run the ball and throw a

689
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 9: little quick passes to get Jared Stidham in a rhythm

690
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:14,600
Speaker 9: early on.

691
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 6: They're gonna go no, no, no, we're gonna take that away.

692
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 9: They're gonna feel good about their matchup on that side

693
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 9: of the ball too. That's why I'm taking the Patriots

694
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 9: twenty four to seventeen. I know I got them covering

695
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 9: the spread, yeah, but like, I think it'll be a close,

696
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 9: tough fought football game where the Patriots kinna pull away late.

697
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 3: All Right.

698
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 2: The NFC Championship game Seahawks minus two and a half

699
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 2: against the Rams, What a great game. Can't wait to

700
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 2: see it. Donald Matthew Stafford. I think Stafford becomes a

701
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:40,720
Speaker 2: storyline here and whether or not he could win a

702
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:43,480
Speaker 2: second Super Bowl, or maybe it is Sam Darnold, who

703
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 2: has had his journeys and has found himself a home

704
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 2: in Seattle and now is one game away from the

705
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 2: Super Bowl.

706
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 3: Who do you like here? It's minus two and a

707
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 3: half Seattle on Rams.

708
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 6: I like Seattle.

709
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 9: And now I say this in full transparency at the

710
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 9: part of the start of the playoffs, right, I always

711
00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 9: do a playoff bracket every year. I had the Tech

712
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 9: and the Rams in the Super Bowl. But I'm not

713
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 9: going to just go, oh, well, I picked that three.

714
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:06,560
Speaker 6: Weeks ago, so I'm sticking with it.

715
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 9: No, I'm not. I'm going to evaluate the situation a

716
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 9: little bit. Seattle's as hot as anybody in the sport

717
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 9: right now on both sides of the ball. I mean,

718
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 9: so I just look at that, and then I think,

719
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 9: out of the four teams we have left in the playoffs,

720
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 9: Seattle's roster is the most talented. And then you couple

721
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 9: that with the Rams, who I don't think have played

722
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 9: their best ball really ever since maybe the first three

723
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 9: quarters of that week sixteen Thursday night game up there

724
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:34,880
Speaker 9: in Seattle. That's where I kind of favor Seattle in

725
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 9: this one. But am I scared about Sam Donald Their

726
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 9: first time in this kind of experience. Yes, and the

727
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 9: Rams have been there, done that, and they're not going

728
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 9: to be intimidated by playing up in Seattle because they've

729
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 9: been there and done that. Yeah, that's where it's scary.

730
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:50,280
Speaker 9: But where I do think it's different for Sam Donald

731
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 9: that's compared to Minnesota, is you know, Minnesota played a

732
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 9: style of football where they're like, hey, we want you

733
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 9: to throw for three hundred yards.

734
00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 6: That's what we do. We don't run the ball.

735
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 9: We want to throw and throw and throw, and we

736
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 9: got these two receivers and we're gonna throw to them.

737
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 6: See, Seattle doesn't give a damn. They don't.

738
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 9: And you know, Seattle needs to continue to run the ball,

739
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:10,720
Speaker 9: and they don't run the ball enough really if you

740
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:12,720
Speaker 9: look at it and the way they move and open

741
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 9: up holes. But they have to do that and rely

742
00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 9: on their defense, and I think that takes pressure off

743
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 9: of Sam Donald. So that's where I like, you know,

744
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 9: Sam Donald, not to choke under pressure. We know they're

745
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 9: capable of big plays on the offensive side of the ball.

746
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 9: The Rams defense has not been playing real good lately.

747
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:31,280
Speaker 9: I mean you saw it. I mean, I know the

748
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:32,920
Speaker 9: Bears didn't score a lot of points, but they kind

749
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 9: of went up and down the field on the Rams

750
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 9: throughout the football game.

751
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, right, so I worry about that.

752
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 9: But on the same token, you know, I know McVeigh

753
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 9: and Stafford can get hot and maybe put up some points,

754
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 9: but I still feel like I'd be shocked. The way

755
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 9: the Seahawks defense has played since that first three quarters

756
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 9: against the Rams has been as good as anybody in

757
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 9: the NFL.

758
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:55,360
Speaker 2: I love people saying there's no dominant team in the

759
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:57,479
Speaker 2: NFL and there are three teams holding up their hands going, hey,

760
00:33:57,480 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 2: we're fourteen to three with a chance to go to

761
00:33:59,160 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 2: the super Bowl.

762
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 6: I know it is, it's funny.

763
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 9: It's just it's you know, I think it's it's kind

764
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 9: of what we're talking about is none of these quarterbacks

765
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:09,239
Speaker 9: make you feel warm and cozy yet.

766
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:09,440
Speaker 3: Right.

767
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 9: We all know Drake may is gonna be awesome and

768
00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:14,359
Speaker 9: is awesome already, but it's still his first time here,

769
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 9: and then it's Stid him, and it's Sam Darnold.

770
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 6: Yeah.

771
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 9: So there's a lot of young and lack of experience

772
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:22,240
Speaker 9: in these type of situations here, and I think that's where,

773
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 9: you know, we've looked at these teams and gone, ah,

774
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:26,799
Speaker 9: you know, they're not maybe as great as some of

775
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 9: the great teams have passed.

776
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 6: But it's a defensive year and you got what three.

777
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 9: Out of the four top scoring defenses in football going

778
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 9: against each other. And that's what we're seeing here, and

779
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:38,880
Speaker 9: I think that's where these quarterbacks can't forget you know

780
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:39,719
Speaker 9: what got them there.

781

840
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:18,319
Speaker 2: Yes, Yes, listen, that's how you do a get right game.

841
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:20,640
Speaker 2: By the way, a tail of the players only meeting worked.

842
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:22,400
Speaker 2: How about that?

843
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:25,439
Speaker 6: Yeah, some conflicting reports there. Because Josh Hart was asked

844
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 6: about it after the gaming, he goes, I don't know

845
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:28,920
Speaker 6: where you guys got that. We didn't have a meeting.

846
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:30,719
Speaker 6: We might have just talked in the locker room.

847
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 3: What the heck do you think of meeting? Is right?

848
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:35,799
Speaker 3: A talk where the coaches there?

849
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:38,360
Speaker 6: But when does a talk go from a talk to

850
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:38,920
Speaker 6: a meeting?

851
00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:42,040
Speaker 3: When Jalen Brunson says it's a meeting, that's it. I

852
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:44,960
Speaker 3: mean it worked. Who cares? They blow him out? All right?

853
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:47,360
Speaker 2: Dan, stay here for a second. Because you're a professional,

854
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 2: you pronounce everything right. Is it Roberts or Rogue?

855
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:54,759
Speaker 3: There? The guy the mass trading? Are you answer that question? Well?

856
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:58,120
Speaker 3: Do we know the player's first name? Luis? Okay, so

857
00:37:58,200 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 3: that's maybe a hint.

858
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:02,319
Speaker 2: Yes, Now, Taylor this morning said Luis Robert, and he

859
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:05,239
Speaker 2: was corrected by Salacato on our podcast. He said it

860
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 2: is Luise Robert Jr. And I am going to Dan Byer.

861
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:14,759
Speaker 2: Whatever he says, it sticks. Dan, I've said, Robert really devastating.

862
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:19,560
Speaker 3: I've heard nothing but Robert. I'll tell you what.

863
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:21,880
Speaker 10: For a guy for years, I couldn't remember if it

864
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:26,440
Speaker 10: was Devers or Devers, you know, with Raphael Devers, but Robert,

865
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 10: I've stuck with Robert. I've been on the side of

866
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 10: Robert for the last season or so.

867
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:32,920
Speaker 2: So let me ask you a question, Dan, because I

868
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:35,080
Speaker 2: used to do updates and I'm wondering, is there a

869
00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 2: name that you're terrified of? Is you see it on

870
00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:39,839
Speaker 2: the update? You know you have to put it down there. Yeah,

871
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:41,640
Speaker 2: to mention that name and you're terrified of it.

872
00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:44,040
Speaker 10: Two huge names. And this may date me a little bit.

873
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 10: I didn't call their scores, but Jerry Rice with the

874
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:49,960
Speaker 10: double rs like it was like it would be Jerry Weiss,

875
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 10: like that's what it would come out with, Arnold Palmer

876
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:56,720
Speaker 10: with the double l's, and then always messing up Russell

877
00:38:56,760 --> 00:39:00,440
Speaker 10: Westbrook with Russell Wilson, Kevin Garnett, Kevin Durant. Those are

878
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:01,760
Speaker 10: the those are the ones.

879
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 2: But you hate when the tennis majors are going on,

880
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:06,040
Speaker 2: right like that, that's not That's.

881
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:08,879
Speaker 10: Why you only say Novak Djokovic advanced to the third round.

882
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:12,799
Speaker 3: That's the easiest way to get through it. Or the joker. Yes, yes,

883
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:13,600
Speaker 3: that's even better.

884
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 5: Taylor, How shocked are you that Stu Gatz used to

885
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:19,040
Speaker 5: do updates when he can't do the most basic of

886
00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:20,960
Speaker 5: names his own friends names.

887
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:24,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, at this point, nothing really surprises me with Steve

888
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 6: Gotts in his background and just to just to tile

889
00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 6: loose end board up Ricardo back here. Yeah, he said

890
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:32,320
Speaker 6: he's Cuban and it's Robert.

891
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:33,279
Speaker 3: Thank you. Wow.

892
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:35,840
Speaker 5: I know, but there's never been a Hispanic person in

893
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 5: the history of time named Lewis Robert.

894
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:37,960
Speaker 9: Right.

895
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:39,120
Speaker 3: It doesn't make any sense.

896
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:40,880
Speaker 10: I know, But damn buyer says it's Robert. If he

897
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:43,399
Speaker 10: was l O U I s, would you be more

898
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 10: apt to think that it was Robert.

899
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:48,920
Speaker 2: Yes, such a great point by you. If it was

900
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:51,359
Speaker 2: spelled the tribute, well I should say the traditional way,

901
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 2: but l O U I s, yes, Luis Robert.

902
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:58,520
Speaker 3: Would make sad. Lewis Robert. Yes, that is exactly what's

903
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:04,560
Speaker 3: going on here. So who do we go with? I'm confused.

904
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:07,040
Speaker 3: I'm not certain who's right. Do we go with the

905
00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:08,280
Speaker 3: Cuban or the American?

906
00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 2: Eight seven seven ninety nine on Foss. We'll get to

907
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 2: your calls in a second. Is he wants to play

908
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:16,600
Speaker 2: an NBA game? By the way, my agent texted me

909
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:21,480
Speaker 2: and he said that Tom Flores one two with Jim Plunkett.

910
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 2: It's not bad, my agent, Lou, Thank you, Lou, appreciate

911
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:27,640
Speaker 2: it is he wants to play an NBA game.

912
00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:29,640
Speaker 3: So I walked outside for a second during the break.

913
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:31,640
Speaker 2: I came back in and what I found is he

914
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:35,240
Speaker 2: doing was muttering under his breath about the Offensive.

915
00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:35,920
Speaker 3: Player of the Year award.

916
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:38,560
Speaker 5: What I feel like I'm sabotaging my own game here,

917
00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:40,239
Speaker 5: But I looked at it right, and it's it's just

918
00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:43,239
Speaker 5: brought back anger that I woke up with today when

919
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:46,880
Speaker 5: I saw the NFL MVP finalist and the Offensive Player

920
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:48,439
Speaker 5: of the Year finalists, and it's like.

921
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:52,160
Speaker 3: What are those awards?

922
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:57,160
Speaker 5: So the MVP's, you know, the finalists are include Drake May,

923
00:40:57,239 --> 00:41:00,480
Speaker 5: include obviously Matthew Stafford and all the other quarterbacks, and

924
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:01,480
Speaker 5: then Christian McCaffrey.

925
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:03,680
Speaker 3: And then there's Offensive Player of the Year.

926
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 5: And Drake May is an Offensive Player of the Year,

927
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:08,280
Speaker 5: but none of the other quarterbacks are an Offensive Player

928
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:08,719
Speaker 5: of the Year.

929
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:13,280
Speaker 3: So remind me what side of the ball do quarterbacks play? Offense?

930
00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:15,600
Speaker 5: So how are you the Offensive Player of the Year

931
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:20,040
Speaker 5: and not the MVP, or if you are the MVP,

932
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:22,399
Speaker 5: I'm sorry. If you're not the MVP, like Drake May

933
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:25,040
Speaker 5: probably won't be, he'll be second. How is he even

934
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:28,440
Speaker 5: a candidate for Offensive Player of the What do you

935
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:29,600
Speaker 5: mean it makes no sense?

936
00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 8: Uh huh, because best player that doesn't play quarterback is

937
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:34,240
Speaker 8: too long.

938
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:38,560
Speaker 5: But he's a quarterback and he's on the Offensive Player

939
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:41,440
Speaker 5: of the Year list and he's not the best quarterback

940
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:42,960
Speaker 5: on the MVP list.

941
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:44,279
Speaker 3: So what does that mean?

942
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:47,920
Speaker 5: Does Matthew Stafford do something to make him the MVP

943
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:53,800
Speaker 5: that does not involve offense? Because somehow Drake May already

944
00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:57,880
Speaker 5: just based on the nominations, is a better offensive player

945
00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:01,799
Speaker 5: than Matthew Stafford, and somehow Matthew Stafford is going to

946
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:02,520
Speaker 5: be the MVP.

947
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:05,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, hey, guys, look what care means? Hey guys, look

948
00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:06,080
Speaker 2: who cares about football?

949
00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:06,319
Speaker 3: Now?

950
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:09,120
Speaker 5: I don't care about football. I care about things that

951
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:11,040
Speaker 5: make sense, and that makes no sense.

952
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 6: This was also in my show Prep too, So this

953
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:16,799
Speaker 6: is the pot calling the kettle black right now because

954
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:19,520
Speaker 6: he went to a topic straight off my topic. List

955
00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:24,879
Speaker 6: your thoughts, Taylor, just give all the awards to Drake May.

956
00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:27,719
Speaker 2: I mean, it's stupid, but why do you care so

957
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:30,200
Speaker 2: much about this stuff? I don't care about it.

958
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:34,840
Speaker 3: It's just like saying running back of the Year versus

959
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:36,920
Speaker 3: Rusher of the Year. It's this.

960
00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:40,200
Speaker 5: It should be the same thing so if you want

961
00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:43,600
Speaker 5: to exclude quarterbacks from Offensive Player of the Year, I'm

962
00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:46,879
Speaker 5: fine with that. But don't include the second place dude

963
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:50,440
Speaker 5: from the MVP quarterback group into the Offensive Player of.

964
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:52,960
Speaker 3: The Year group. It makes no sense.

965
00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:55,839
Speaker 2: I promise we'll get to what is He's NBA game.

966
00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 2: He's unhinged right now. Let's go to Lenny and Fort Wayne.

967
00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:01,920
Speaker 3: Lenny, go ahead, Hi, this is Lenny from Fort Wayne.

968
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:03,239
Speaker 3: We established that.

969
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:05,360
Speaker 2: I just want to say that the.

970
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:08,640
Speaker 1: Twenty five Hoosiers are so special because they won every

971
00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:10,399
Speaker 1: game and they won all the playoff games.

972
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:11,760
Speaker 10: Thanks, I'll hang up in Leonards.

973
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:13,600
Speaker 3: That's a great call, Lenny.

974
00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:14,520
Speaker 6: Who was that?

975
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:21,200
Speaker 5: Way to go, Leonard, Just just to recap, the Hoosas

976
00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:23,719
Speaker 5: are so special because they won every game.

977
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:26,480
Speaker 3: Yes, and they won every playoff Taylor, do we have

978
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:28,880
Speaker 3: to get Benny from Fort Lauderdale? Do you we have

979
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:33,120
Speaker 3: to get that call right? Because that was Lenny. Lenny,

980
00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:35,120
Speaker 3: it's a totally different person. Oh yeah, but I love

981

Speaker 3: that so much. God, thank you for making me smile, sir.

00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:40,919
Speaker 2: This is therapy for me. Every day two hours. I'm

983
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:43,200
Speaker 2: gonna laugh with my friends. I'm gonna laugh with the listeners,

984
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:45,920
Speaker 2: laugh with the callers, and you guys are gonna pull

985
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:48,200
Speaker 2: me through a difficult time. Let's go to Murray. We'll

986
00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:50,680
Speaker 2: get to your NBA game in a second. Here, Marry,

Speaker 2: Guys?

991
00:43:57,719 --> 00:44:00,400
Speaker 6: Murray here first time, long time off of my.

992
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:02,920
Speaker 3: Car Foonde here at two Falls, still waiting on you

993
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:05,680
Speaker 3: to visit. Maybe the subburst too. Good question before you

994
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:08,759
Speaker 3: got how do you pronounce that wide receiver's day from

995
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:11,960
Speaker 3: the Seahawks? How do you sell it? They sell? Hang

996
00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:14,120

997
00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 2: I want away, Yes, I want all calls to be

998
00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:18,399
Speaker 2: like the last two, please all of them.

999
00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:20,920
Speaker 3: That was a specific question for you, sir. I'm not

1000
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:25,160
Speaker 3: answering that question. Come on, Mikey, you want to take

1001
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:27,920
Speaker 3: that question, go ahead. I don't think Mikey can say

1002
00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:28,680
Speaker 3: his name as well as you can.

1003
00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:29,360
Speaker 8: No, I'm good.

1004
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:34,160
Speaker 2: Jackson, Jackson Smith and Jigba Okay, it's odd that I

1005
00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:35,000
Speaker 2: could say that name.

1006
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:37,319
Speaker 3: And guys, please get the Eddie ericson.

1007
00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:41,799
Speaker 2: Sunds here for them the first segment because I too

1008
00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:42,759
Speaker 2: mispronounced words.

1009
00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:43,399
Speaker 3: I do it often.

1010
00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:46,760
Speaker 2: I'm probably the greatest to ever do it. Uh, here's

1011
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:48,680
Speaker 2: me trying to say my friend's name who I know.

1012
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:50,520
Speaker 2: It was an easy name to say, and I've known

1013
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:56,200
Speaker 2: him for fifteen years. Head said, and perhaps Eddie wow,

1014
00:44:56,800 --> 00:45:01,040
Speaker 2: I et a roadblock that hurt my throat one more time,

1015
00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:06,040
Speaker 2: you literally and perhaps any other I joked on the eight,

1016
00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:08,719
Speaker 2: the second eight. It sounds like you ate a roadblock

1017
00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:13,040
Speaker 2: in the middle of that. I told you yesterday we're

1018
00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:18,920
Speaker 2: not professional except for Ezy. I mean that's about it.

1019
00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:21,279
Speaker 2: I mean, I desperately want to play your NBA game.

1020
00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:23,200
Speaker 2: I'm not certain you left us enough time here in the.

1021
00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:26,600
Speaker 3: Uh, it's my fault. I was strictly going by Taylor

1022
00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:27,120
Speaker 3: show sheet.

1023
00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:27,279
Speaker 9: Here.

1024
00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:30,359
Speaker 2: Do you want to play the NBA game? I am

1025
00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:32,040
Speaker 2: happy to play your game. Go ahead, take it away.

1026
00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:34,080
Speaker 3: Let's do well. Do we have enough time here?

1027
00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:34,799
Speaker 6: Should we just be doing?

1028
00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 3: We have plenty of times?

1029
00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:38,680
Speaker 5: Okay, Well, it's not really a game necessarily, right, But

1030
00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:44,200
Speaker 5: if you think about sort of when trade activity is

1031
00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:48,840
Speaker 5: most likely in the NBA, it's when teams feel like

1032
00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:52,080
Speaker 5: the championship is up for grabs. Sometimes it could happen

1033
00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:54,680
Speaker 5: in an off season where you look forward and you

1034
00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:57,080
Speaker 5: look ahead and say, man, there really isn't that many

1035
00:45:57,120 --> 00:45:58,640
Speaker 5: great teams. Let me see if I can make a

1036
00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:00,640
Speaker 5: big move, have a big three whatever, see if we

1037
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:02,239
Speaker 5: can win a championship.

1038
00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:03,520
Speaker 3: Or it could happen in the middle of the season.

1039
00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:05,520
Speaker 5: I'm trying not to look at Mikey as he taps

1040
00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:09,360
Speaker 5: his catcher's mitt, trying to distract me at all costs.

1041
00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:13,360
Speaker 5: You know, when you look at approaching the trade deadline

1042
00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:14,960
Speaker 5: and there's some people available, and you think, wow, I

1043
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:19,399
Speaker 5: could really elevate ourselves and become the champion this year.

1044
00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:20,520
Speaker 6: And so.

1045
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:24,600
Speaker 5: You say all that to look around and say, does

1046
00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:27,319
Speaker 5: this feel like a season where the championship is up

1047
00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:29,360
Speaker 5: for grabs? And so the game I just want to

1048
00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:31,319
Speaker 5: play with you. It's a very simple game. I think

1049
00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:35,200
Speaker 5: even you would be all over this game. Does this

1050
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:37,200
Speaker 5: team feel like.

1051
00:46:37,239 --> 00:46:38,240
Speaker 3: An NBA champion?

1052
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:40,320
Speaker 5: All right, all right, it's a fun game, Taylor, easy

1053
00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:42,680
Speaker 5: for you. Mikey, you can pat that mitt all you want.

1054
00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:44,120
Speaker 5: I think you can play this game as well.

1055
00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:45,720
Speaker 3: No, I love this game. That's one of the building

1056
00:46:45,719 --> 00:46:48,440
Speaker 3: blocks of sports radio. Yes, we'll start with this. This

1057
00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:50,120
Speaker 3: is a very easy answer here.

1058
00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:53,319
Speaker 5: They won it last year. Do the OKAC Thunder feel

1059
00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:55,920
Speaker 5: like an NBA champion, Yes, of course. Okay, we're at one.

1060
00:46:57,560 --> 00:47:01,759
Speaker 5: The San Antonio Spurs with a young Victor Wembinyama who

1061
00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:04,880
Speaker 5: you probably don't know. This still on somewhat of a

1062
00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:09,120
Speaker 5: minute's restriction twenty eight to thirty minutes. Did the San

1063
00:47:09,160 --> 00:47:13,240
Speaker 5: Antonio Spurs in twenty twenty six feel like an NBA champion?

1064
00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:18,480
Speaker 3: Umm, I'm gonna say yes, Mikey. What do you think the.

1065
00:47:18,560 --> 00:47:21,120
Speaker 8: Bear had us bet them to beat the Knicks in

1066
00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:23,080
Speaker 8: the finals, So I'm gonna have to say.

1067
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:26,240
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, Taylor, Yes, yeah, Okay.

1068
00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:29,160
Speaker 5: Having watched them play a good amount, I don't think

1069
00:47:29,239 --> 00:47:31,680
Speaker 5: they feel like an NBA champion. I feel like Victor

1070
00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:35,439
Speaker 5: Wenbinyama can give it to you certain nights, but four

1071
00:47:35,480 --> 00:47:38,000
Speaker 5: out of seven in the playoffs when teams are committed

1072
00:47:38,040 --> 00:47:40,160
Speaker 5: to defending him, and it's not just a one off

1073
00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:41,200
Speaker 5: of eighty two, yep.

1074
00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:42,279
Speaker 3: I don't think they're ready yet.

1075
00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:44,600
Speaker 5: They do not feel as a veteran NBA person, They

1076
00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:47,480
Speaker 5: don't feel personally like an NBA champion. But I'll give

1077
00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:49,960
Speaker 5: you those two. Okay, let's go to the top of

1078
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:52,680
Speaker 5: the East. Okay, the Detroit Pistons, who I'm pretty sure

1079
00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:53,400
Speaker 5: you've spent.

1080
00:47:53,560 --> 00:47:56,399
Speaker 3: A little bit of time watching. I have Jalen Duran

1081
00:47:56,480 --> 00:47:59,000
Speaker 3: on my fantasy team, so I'm not saying I watched them.

1082
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:01,400
Speaker 3: I've looked at box scores. Do they feel like an

1083
00:48:01,520 --> 00:48:02,200
Speaker 3: NBA champion?

1084
00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:02,399
Speaker 6: Now?

1085
00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:05,560
Speaker 2: Do the Pistons feel like an NBA champion? One seed

1086
00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:08,560
Speaker 2: in the East. I have to talk this out. Thirty

1087
00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:13,040
Speaker 2: two and ten one four straight? No, Jason Tatum. Do

1088
00:48:13,120 --> 00:48:14,880
Speaker 2: they feel like an NBA champion or a team that

1089
00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:17,040
Speaker 2: can make it to the NBA five champion That would

1090
00:48:17,040 --> 00:48:17,759
Speaker 2: have been a better game.

1091
00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:20,879
Speaker 3: Just champion. Do the Pistons feel like a champion? I'm

1092
00:48:21,080 --> 00:48:23,960
Speaker 3: saying no, no, Jason Tatum. Just to be clear, Jayson

1093
00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:25,760
Speaker 3: Tatum does not play for the Pistons.

1094
00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:29,120
Speaker 6: The right, Jason Tatum. They don't have Jason Tatum.

1095
00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:31,800
Speaker 2: Yes, the Celtics don't have Jason Well, I met the Celtics.

1096
00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:34,800
Speaker 2: I almost called you, but you know what, I almost

1097
00:48:34,840 --> 00:48:37,080
Speaker 2: called you. By the way, Jason Tatum is not I

1098
00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:38,840
Speaker 2: have to talk these things out. Let me do it

1099
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:40,560
Speaker 2: my way, okay, But I.

1100
00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:43,560
Speaker 5: Just want you to know it's not can they win

1101
00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:46,120
Speaker 5: an NBA title this year? That's a different game.

1102
00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:48,040
Speaker 2: But part of winning one is getting there. And so

1103
00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:50,120
Speaker 2: I have to convince myself they can get there before

1104
00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:51,160
Speaker 2: I tell you they can win it.

1105
00:48:51,840 --> 00:48:54,759
Speaker 5: Do they feel like an NBA champion doesn't really matter

1106
00:48:54,840 --> 00:48:55,680
Speaker 5: about anybody else?

1107
00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:57,960
Speaker 3: Are we gonna do this for twenty seven other teams?

1108
00:48:58,040 --> 00:48:59,960
Speaker 3: I mean, this is what I told you we didn't have,

1109
00:49:00,239 --> 00:49:00,840
Speaker 3: all right, I'm.

1110
00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:02,399
Speaker 2: Gonna say no on the Pistons. All right, I'm gonna

1111
00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:04,279
Speaker 2: say no, well, hold on, Mikey, yes or no on

1112
00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:04,840
Speaker 2: the Pistons.

1113
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:07,560
Speaker 3: I agree, no, yeah, Taylor, No.

1114
00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:10,600
Speaker 5: The Pistons don't and let's just go to your other team, Okay,

1115
00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:11,720
Speaker 5: the Celtics Celtics.

1116
00:49:11,800 --> 00:49:14,160
Speaker 3: Yes, we already established.

1117
00:49:14,239 --> 00:49:17,319
Speaker 5: No Jason Tatum, although he looks pretty good when he's

1118
00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:19,719
Speaker 5: practicing and stuff. I'm not sure where he's at right now,

1119
00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:23,040
Speaker 5: but he's gonna be back the Celtics. Do they feel

1120
00:49:23,040 --> 00:49:23,799
Speaker 5: like an NBA champ?

1121
00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:25,280
Speaker 3: Not to me, No, Taylor.

1122
00:49:26,400 --> 00:49:28,360
Speaker 6: I could buy into this team because of Jayalen Brown.

1123
00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:31,800
Speaker 6: He could buy into it, so I would say a

1124
00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:34,279
Speaker 6: different game. It's a yes or no game into it

1125
00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:38,080
Speaker 6: or right or different games. I do have a feeling

1126
00:49:38,120 --> 00:49:38,560
Speaker 6: that they could.

1127
00:49:38,880 --> 00:49:39,960
Speaker 3: So that's what that was.

1128
00:49:40,080 --> 00:49:41,840
Speaker 2: Just the top two teams in each comp hold on,

1129
00:49:42,239 --> 00:49:44,400
Speaker 2: we left out Mikey A, Mikey A and he's shaking

1130
00:49:44,440 --> 00:49:45,600
Speaker 2: his head and discussed at Taylor.

1131
00:49:45,640 --> 00:49:49,040
Speaker 6: I think, no, it's the Celtics. They always feel like

1132
00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:49,680
Speaker 6: a champion.

1133
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:52,520
Speaker 8: It's one of those teams like, yeah, you could convince

1134
00:49:52,600 --> 00:49:54,799
Speaker 8: me this is a this is a championship team, but.

1135
00:49:54,960 --> 00:49:56,359
Speaker 3: What what facts do give us?

1136
00:49:56,400 --> 00:49:56,560
Speaker 9: Though?

1137
00:49:57,560 --> 00:50:00,880
Speaker 5: No, Jason Tata, right, So this team needed Tatum to

1138
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:03,560
Speaker 5: win a championship and now they don't have them and

1139
00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:05,160
Speaker 5: even if he comes back will be the same. But

1140
00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:07,360
Speaker 5: I don't believe they feel like an NBA champion. The

1141
00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:11,040
Speaker 5: point being if you look around the league and any

1142
00:50:11,120 --> 00:50:12,920
Speaker 5: team that I didn't name right there now this is

1143
00:50:13,080 --> 00:50:14,880
Speaker 5: without Denver, without Jokic.

1144
00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:17,520
Speaker 3: If they had Jokics, they could feel like an NBA champion,

1145
00:50:17,560 --> 00:50:19,279
Speaker 3: they would feel like an NBA championship.

1146
00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:21,920
Speaker 5: But all of these teams that even the ones that

1147
00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:23,680
Speaker 5: we did mention, could look to themselves and say, we

1148
00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:27,760
Speaker 5: can solidify ourselves as an NBA champion, faith championship favorite

1149
00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:30,760
Speaker 5: with one move, And I feel like you look around,

1150
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:33,960
Speaker 5: I think eventually people are going to maybe say, okay,

1151
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:35,920
Speaker 5: maybe we'll give up a little bit for John Morant, right,

1152
00:50:35,960 --> 00:50:38,920
Speaker 5: as opposed to just trying to give away scraps for him.

1153
00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:41,200
Speaker 5: You look at what's happening in Milwaukee now, and maybe

1154
00:50:41,239 --> 00:50:44,040
Speaker 5: we'll play sound of Janna Santatakoupo saying is all his

1155
00:50:44,160 --> 00:50:48,080
Speaker 5: teammates are playing selfishly. A little later, but that move

1156
00:50:48,480 --> 00:50:52,840
Speaker 5: while he's not demanding a trade publicly. According to Brian Winhorse, anyway,

1157
00:50:52,880 --> 00:50:54,959
Speaker 5: the hour by hour we get closer and closer to him.

1158
00:50:54,880 --> 00:50:55,399
Speaker 3: Making a move.

1159
00:50:55,680 --> 00:50:59,040
Speaker 5: It feels like because of that whole concept of hey,

1160
00:50:59,640 --> 00:51:02,520
Speaker 5: this this championship remains up for grabs no matter how

1161
00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:05,000
Speaker 5: much we think, okayc should be a favorite. I think

1162
00:51:05,040 --> 00:51:06,600
Speaker 5: you're going to start to see a lot of activity

1163
00:51:06,600 --> 00:51:09,560
Speaker 5: and people really pushing for the for the Giannis trade

1164
00:51:09,560 --> 00:51:11,239
Speaker 5: to happen, and even for a John Morant trade.

1165
00:51:11,360 --> 00:51:12,880
Speaker 3: Why did you try out one more team on me

1166
00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:15,120
Speaker 3: and Taylor? Just one more team? Just ask us, ask

1167
00:51:15,239 --> 00:51:18,400
Speaker 3: us the team. Okay? Do the New York Knicks feel

1168
00:51:18,640 --> 00:51:20,359
Speaker 3: like an NBA chip? Hell yeah?

1169
00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:25,960
Speaker 6: Add to that Cup championship, the first.

1170
00:51:25,760 --> 00:51:28,040
Speaker 3: Team ever to win the Cup and the NBA Championship

1171
00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:30,680
Speaker 3: in the same season. About that, it's so crazy.

1172
00:51:30,719 --> 00:51:33,480
Speaker 5: Even in Milwaukee, they're they're trying to convince themselves that

1173
00:51:33,560 --> 00:51:35,840
Speaker 5: their buyers like you talk to, you know whatever, the

1174
00:51:36,120 --> 00:51:38,279
Speaker 5: beat writers or people over there, it's like, no, we

1175
00:51:38,440 --> 00:51:40,520
Speaker 5: have Giannis, we add one more piece, we do this,

1176
00:51:40,760 --> 00:51:42,120
Speaker 5: we can win a championship this year.

1177
00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:43,040
Speaker 6: And it just it.

1178
00:51:43,200 --> 00:51:44,600
Speaker 3: I think it's going to set up for some some

1179
00:51:44,760 --> 00:51:46,239
Speaker 3: crazy discussions at the very least,
