Speaker 1: Beyond Every Wednesday moving forward, um, and just I'm gonna

10
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 1: do a much longer football pod like I always do

11
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:46,919
Speaker 1: on Tuesday, but we're going to dive into the playoff

12
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 1: games and what I just witnessed today and the seating

13
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 1: and uh, just just a pretty incredible day. But let

14
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 1: me start off with this. That stadium that stand Cronkey built,

15
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 1: when you know, listen, likely hood unless I strike oil

16
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: or create like the next Amazon, that I'm never gonna

17
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:06,959
Speaker 1: be able to buy something or any of us for

18
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 1: five you know, pay five billion dollars to create something

19
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,320
Speaker 1: is slim to nine, right, What stand Cronky built with

20
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 1: that money? Because I even it sounds crazy now, I

21
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: I know the way, you know, I understand money out

22
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 1: here is it's kind of inflated to begin with because

23
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: of California, the cost, the hoops you gotta go through.

24
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: But that stadium is so badass. I think Jerry's world

25
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: is awesome. And I was texting with the buddy. He thought,

26
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: is that place better than Jerry's World? And MY first

27
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: reaction was yes. Now Jerry's world is you know whatever,

28
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 1: fifteen years old now or a little lesson that this

29
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: thing lived up to the hype it is. That place

30
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: is bad ass now. It turned into a Niner home game,

31
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: but that place was rocking. And I say this all

32
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: the time. Don't let the Internet fool you. Everyone's so

33
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: angry on the internet. Everyone rams Niners. People just I

34
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: mean eighty tho people together, everyone having a blast. People

35
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: are friendly. Don't don't. And I'm talking to myself right

36
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: now because I get so angry at the Internet. It's

37
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,399
Speaker 1: just so doom and gloom and such miserable people. It's

38
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: people are so happy out and about, you know, get

39
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: a get a beer, get a cocktail, and you know people.

40
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,679
Speaker 1: I was, you know, hugging Rams fans. I have that.

41
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 1: I happened to sitting next to Danny Treo, who you know,

42
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:24,799
Speaker 1: the the actor. And uh, actually I was sitting next

43
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:28,799
Speaker 1: to a Niner fan and when overtime, right before overtime,

44
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: when Kyle punted, when Kyle punted with a minute fifty

45
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: or whatever, the guy looks at me. He just he

46
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: just showed up to the game by himself because I

47
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: went with three people, so we bought three tickets. I

48
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 1: think this guy bought the fourth in the group. And

49
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 1: he looked at me. He's like, this thing is over.

50
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: And I could tell on his phone he had his

51
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:49,079
Speaker 1: airplane ticket and lease. And then Danny and his boys

52
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 1: moved over and I got to sit next to him

53
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: and watch overtime with him. But that game is just

54
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: there is The NFL is such a special league. When

55
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:02,799
Speaker 1: the NFL is right and when the games are awesome,

56
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: there's nothing better. I've been to the World Series, I've

57
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,399
Speaker 1: been to the Golf US Open, I've been to the NBA.

58
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: I've been Game seven of the NBA Finals when Lebron

59
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: won in Cleveland. There is there is something really really special.

60
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: As George Kittle said, a body bad game in any

61
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 1: game where you're just watching a bunch of guys making

62
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: ten to thirty million dollars. I guess Stafford even makes

63
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 1: more just throw haymakers at each other. It is such

64
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: a cool event. I mean, if you love football, when

65
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 1: you get the opportunity, because you never know, like you

66
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:33,799
Speaker 1: go to the game, it could be great. When it

67
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: was seventeen nothing, I thought we were gonna leave early

68
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: because it was gonna be a thirty eight to three game.

69
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 1: And it was just it was pretty special. It really

70
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: was that if you get the chance so far, Cat

71
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: tip do you stand. You clearly know what you're doing

72
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: when it comes to building things. But I came out

73
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: here for golf and then we went to the game,

74
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: and I I'll talk about where I played golf on Saturday.

75
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: Pretty special place might be hosting a US Open next year.

76
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 1: I was with a bunch of Cow grads and they

77
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: take a lot of pride in Jared goff Right because

78
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 1: you know, athletics at Cow haven't been that great for

79
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: a while, and he was a number one overall pick.

80
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: And I think they're watching Matt Stafford and they keep

81
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: asking me. They go, why did they trade for him?

82
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: And I try to describe it. I'm like, well, he

83
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,159
Speaker 1: Stafford is better, He's got a bigger arm he's a

84
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: better athlete. But yet I'm at the game and I'm

85
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: watching him, and I'm going I do get the other side,

86
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 1: you know, and he is one of the more polarizing

87
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: guys in the league. But I don't know, man, like

88
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 1: you are not winning a super Bowl with that guy.

89
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,159
Speaker 1: It's not happening. Like it's not gonna happen there. Their

90
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 1: run game is not good enough. At the end of

91
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:41,599
Speaker 1: the day. The forty Niners have just you know, war daddies,

92
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: absolute war daddies. And I think the Rams do too.

93
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: I think Jalen Ramsey, Baller, Aaron Donald von Miller. I mean,

94
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 1: these guys are legends. But overall their team, like you

95
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,679
Speaker 1: add Odell Beckham, like Odell Beckham, Cooper Cops is stud

96
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 1: to Cooper Cup badass. But that game turned into when

97
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,039
Speaker 1: the Niners game Storm and bad a heavyweight fight and

98
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 1: they were both just throwing blows at each other's face.

99
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: And do you remember the famous Ultimate Fighter. It was

100
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 1: a reality show and the first ever season of the

101
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: reality show. I I don't I'm not a big UFC guy,

102
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,279
Speaker 1: but it was such a legendary. They fought too, you know,

103
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: one of them would get a contract and it was

104
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 1: such a legendary fight that I think Dana White gave

105
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: him both contracts. And that game was just a throwing

106
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 1: blows and the Niners are just tougher and the Rams.

107
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 1: You know, Sean McVeigh learned from Gruden and Shanias like

108
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 1: his his style should be toughness, but Kyle's just the

109
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,159
Speaker 1: tougher coach and the way he calls his plays consistently,

110
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 1: like they get so spread happy. They don't have the

111
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: offensive line and it's not like the Niners are rolling

112
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:49,359
Speaker 1: out Buckner anymore or DeFord, and they just took it

113
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: to them. They just out physical them. And you know,

114
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 1: like I listen, I've never been in a boxing match,

115
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: like in an arena, right inside the ring. But they

116
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:02,039
Speaker 1: say those kidney shots when you're watching real guys fight,

117
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,479
Speaker 1: are just they hurt, Right, Anyone who's you know, funked

118
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: around the brother or friend is taking a kidnie shot,

119
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: They really hurt. But you know, the Niners just kept

120
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 1: giving it to him and eventually they kind of tapped

121
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 1: out and they had no business losing that game none.

122
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: That's the first time Sean McVeigh has lost a game

123
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:23,479
Speaker 1: being up at halftime it is career like, that's crazy.

124
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:27,600
Speaker 1: I'm just that game was bananas. It was awesome. That's

125
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 1: just that's all I have to say. That game was awesome. Uh.

126
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,279
Speaker 1: And let's face it, the forty Niners deserved to be

127
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. They're better than the Eagles. We watched

128
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 1: them play, they beat them. They're better than the Saints. Now.

129
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 1: It's awesome what Sean Payton did with his quarterback situation.

130
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 1: Hat tipped to him nine and eight with no quarterbacks.

131
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,919
Speaker 1: That's a big time Uh. And I I tweeted this

132
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 1: last night. In the first half and then the second

133
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: half they got their as kick. But I think Nick

134
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 1: Sirianni is pretty good and that game, like we've seen

135
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: those two teams play. The Bucks played the Eagles earlier

136
00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 1: this year, I think on Thursday night, and let's face of,

137
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 1: the Bucks hand of them pretty good. Maybe the Eagles

138
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:02,479
Speaker 1: came back a little bit at the end, but it

139
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,280
Speaker 1: was like a fake comeback. Uh. That game is pretty

140
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: interesting though. You know, the Bucks have a lot of

141
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: weird stuff going on. You know, Antonio Brown's taking shots

142
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: of guys. Are they gonna be healthy enough? I didn't

143
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: watch any of that game today, but I just kept

144
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 1: looking at the scores. Not like they blew out the

145
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 1: gutless Carolina Panthers and today, like one team that I

146
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 1: have just been consistently hard on, they started whatever ten

147
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: and one, they should have cruised, cruised to the division championship,

148
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: and then the Niners miraculously pull this game off and

149
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: Arizona gets worked by Seattle, like you wonder like I

150
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 1: don't do any people. I've had guys in the NFL

151
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 1: getting mad at me before because they like, you're just

152
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: a media guy. Like I'm not freaking media guy. You're

153
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: just trying to like do for clicks. No, I just

154
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 1: say what I think, and I just don't think Cliffs

155
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 1: got it, you know, and listen, I can't. I have

156
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 1: to go back and watch the game later this week,

157
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 1: like I think. Kyler asked, like, there's no question who

158
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: the better quarterback in that game is Haat tip to

159
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks or keep fighting. But you got the

160
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 1: opportunity to win the division even when you had kind

161
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 1: of fallen out of it the last couple of weeks

162
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 1: and it looked like the Rams are gonna cruise the

163
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: division and you blow it. How does how does that

164
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 1: happen at home in Arizona. You lose that game? In

165
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: what world? Like? Who am I supposed? Like, I'm gonna

166
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 1: take the Rams in this game? But because it's it's

167
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: so far, not that that's a it's a probably forty

168
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 1: five minute flight, but I I mean Arizona. You know,

169
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 1: I'm hard on the Rams from their toughness aspect relative

170
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 1: to the Niners, you know, relative to some of these

171
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: other teams, but Arizona. In what world would you trust Arizona?

172
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 1: And today is the perfect example. They are not a

173
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 1: trustworthy team. And I think they're gonna be one and

174
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: done and then you know, listen, I know some people

175
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 1: associated with Cliff. I'm not I don't think he's a

176
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 1: bad guy or whatever. But what do you do if

177
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 1: you're Arizona? If they get? If they get they lose

178
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,599
Speaker 1: this game? Like you're giving Cliff Kingsbury's last year of

179
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 1: his contract. They're gonna give him contract attenion, Like where

180
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 1: you going in college? Like you're not getting a college job,

181
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 1: You're not getting hired. I mean, not a not an

182
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: Oklahoma hell, they already have a coach, but they were

183
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 1: never gonna hire Cliff Kingsbury. What were they gonna do.

184
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what I do. I'd write it out

185
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 1: and say, listen, you can coach the last year contract,

186
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: but I can't give you a contract extension, not when

187
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 1: you like you were. You were in the in cruise

188
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 1: control like Tesla. I remember, like two years ago on

189
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 1: the peak of COVID when they're the roads were just empty.

190
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 1: I mean, you could go on some of these roads

191
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 1: in the Bay Area that are typically take you two hours,

192
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 1: you do the drive in like thirty minutes. And I

193
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 1: remember driving just meeting this other car and I looked

194
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 1: and this is dude in the Tesla and he's asleep,

195
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:39,839
Speaker 1: and you know, the cruise control just cruising down the

196
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 1: highway and I went, God, I don't know if i'd

197
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 1: have the balls to do that, but that's what Arizona

198
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 1: was doing. They were in cruise control to win the

199
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 1: division and somehow obviously they made the playoffs, so that's

200
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 1: that's an accomplishment. But they how did they the five seat?

201
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 1: How did that happen? Especially when the Rams lost to Seattle.

202
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, what a what a NFC West?

203
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 1: You know, we thought it was the best division, and

204
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 1: look the Rams are in the Arizona's in and the

205
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 1: Niners are in. Got three teams in showed you in Seattle.

206
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 1: Run there. They're they're kind of coming on right now.

207
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:13,839
Speaker 1: Who knows of Russell, He claims he Russell is such

208
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: my issue with Russell. He's one of my favorite players ever,

209
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 1: uh the last couple of decades, favorite player to watch.

210
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 1: He's just he's just always these pr campaigns, like he's

211
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 1: not gonna ask for a trade, He's gonna It's like,

212
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 1: I don't care, Russell, just stop being such a diva,

213
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 1: you know, do you do? You have to just just

214
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 1: either stay or go. You know, I the Rogers thing

215
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 1: last year, Like I I can't take that crap anymore.

216
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: I just find it. Maybe I'm just jaded on it,

217
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 1: but I find some of it to be just a

218
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 1: little exhausting, you know. I mean if I just do, like,

219
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,200
Speaker 1: are we gonna go through this offseason with Russell Wilson

220
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 1: doing this thing again where he's like, you know, I

221
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 1: don't want to get traded, but if you're gonna trade me,

222
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 1: I'll go to these seven teams. Just either ask for

223
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 1: a trade or don't. That's that's all I hope. Let's

224
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 1: dive into the a f C when you go for

225
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,319
Speaker 1: it in the other team's red zone on fourth and one.

226
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,560
Speaker 1: I didn't see the play live, read about it, and

227
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 1: Brand's Daley is beloved by the media. They anointed that guy,

228
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 1: They put him on a pedestal. He was going to

229
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 1: be coach of the year. He missed the playoffs. When

230
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 1: seven teams go to the playoffs. His quarterback, Justin Herbert,

231
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 1: is a star. Think about the other guys in touchdown

232
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 1: wise coming into this week, my brain is pretty fried,

233
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:29,839
Speaker 1: so I haven't looked. I didn't know how many with

234
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 1: all the touchdowns ended up with, but coming into this week,

235
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:36,680
Speaker 1: right it was Brady, Rogers, Stafford, Mahomes all thirty five

236
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 1: and above. I think Brady had forty, Rogers had like

237
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:42,320
Speaker 1: thirty eight, Mahomes, Stafford, maybe Stafford at thirty eight. But

238
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 1: you get my drift. They were all thirty five and

239
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 1: above touchdowns. All those guys won the division. Every single

240
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 1: one of those guys won the division except Justin Herbert,

241
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 1: who is not even going to make the playoffs. Think

242
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: about that, and this guy, who I have just told

243
00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 1: NonStop on the internet how smart he is. I I

244
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: think I can't believe that he went for it in

245
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:08,560
Speaker 1: that situation, I really can't. I'm I'm glad they won

246
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 1: because rich who took over a disastrous situation when the

247
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,200
Speaker 1: hend coach got fired. Then a couple of weeks later

248
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 1: Henry Rugs kill someone and a dog's gonna go to

249
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 1: prison for years. That guy deserved to win. Derek deserved

250
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 1: to win. Brandon Salley doesn't deserve this. The guy was

251
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 1: in like Division one Double A five six years ago. Now,

252
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 1: he was good last year with the l A Ramps.

253
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 1: He did a good job. But in what world should

254
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 1: we assume this guy is ready to be a head

255
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 1: coach in the NFL if I gave any decent coach

256
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 1: the Chargers team this year when I went twelve games

257
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 1: the Raiders who just had disaster after disaster after disaster,

258
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 1: I'm so glad that Jacobs broke that run and they

259
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 1: got in field goal range and they beat him. I

260
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 1: did not want to see a tie game because they didn't.

261
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 1: The Chargers did not earth to be in the playoffs.

262
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 1: You can't just Willy Nearly go for it all the

263
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: time just because Twitter gives you credit props of the Raiders.

264
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 1: Who knows, you know, if hardball is coming. A lot

265
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 1: of rumors are out there, but just a cool moment

266
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 1: for Rich, cool moment for Derek Carr. What a crazy

267
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 1: ass game, What a crazy ass game it really is.

268
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 1: It's such a football so awesome big football games. There's

269
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 1: nothing like it. There really isn't because of what's on

270
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,839
Speaker 1: the line that there's not a seven game series. Every

271

Speaker 1: that old Big Ben and the Pittsburgh Steelers whose offense

301
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 1: when you watch him looks like molasses sometimes, and that defense,

302
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 1: that culture Mike Tomlin finds a way to make the playoffs.

303
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 1: What a what an impressive season. I actually throw Sean

304
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 1: Payton in there too, get like seven different quarterbacks and

305
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,840

306
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin winning nine, Sean Payton winning nine, and Brandon

307
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 1: Stanley winning nine are not equal. They have nothing in common.

308
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 1: You give Mike Tomlin or Sean Payton the Charger team,

309
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 1: what do they win thirteen games? Hell? They might give

310
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 1: Andy a run for his money for the division. So

311
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 1: if you're a Pittsburgh fan, you gotta take a lot

312
00:15:56,200 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 1: of pride in this season. Did they just so ugly?

313
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 1: They cannot score? And this matchup this weekend is bad.

314
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 1: I like the Chiefs big, but just getting there. Ben

315
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 1: gets a playoff game. Pretty cool. Vegas plays the Bengals.

316
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 1: It's actually kind of an interesting game, even though the

317
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 1: Bengals played the Raiders towards the end of the season

318
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 1: and beat him pretty handily. Um, what else I think

319
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 1: this weekend? Sean McDermott can make all of us forget

320
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 1: about that Monday night game, which was a tough look

321
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 1: for the Bills. We all watched it. It was probably

322
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 1: the coolest Monday Night game of the year. He beats

323
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 1: them a couple of weeks later, which led to them

324
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 1: winning the division, right because they controlled their own destiny.

325
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 1: This weekend, they get him at home. Bill Belichick, the

326
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 1: greatest coach of all time, arguably one of the greatest

327
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 1: coach any sport ever. You beat him twice in like

328
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: a month. That's a pretty incredible accomplishment. Now the Bills

329
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 1: are gonna favored. The Bills are better. Mac Jones isn't

330
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:05,400
Speaker 1: that good, but it's still Bill freaking Belichick, and he's

331
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:09,200
Speaker 1: got tricks up his sleeves. He's him and Josh are good.

332
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 1: But the Bills, like, there's gonna be a lot of

333
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:15,640
Speaker 1: tangible pressure on Sean McDermott to win that game. They're

334
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 1: there just is. It is not going to be easy.

335
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 1: And he has the far superior quarterback. And this gets

336
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 1: back to what I was talking about with Herbert. When

337
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 1: you have the far superior quarterback, you should win. That's

338
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 1: the way the sport works, especially when you get a

339
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:34,919
Speaker 1: guy you know you're playing a rookie right in mac Jones.

340
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:39,680
Speaker 1: So I am fascinated to watch that football game. I

341
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 1: I can't wait. That game is really really good. I

342
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:45,879
Speaker 1: would say that in the Cowboys Niners are the two

343
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 1: best games of the weekend, and then the other a

344
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 1: f C game. I skipping over one of these. So

345
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 1: we've got Vegas, Cincinnati, New England, Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Kansas City.

346
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 1: I guess that's three of them, and then Titans. What

347
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 1: a year? By Variabel, what a year? And then we

348
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:02,680
Speaker 1: got the National Championship game. A little bit like Sean McDermott.

349
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 1: Eventually you need to get over the hump. And obviously

350
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 1: college is different than the pros. The national championship games

351
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 1: different than the wild card round. But if Kirby Smart

352
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,879
Speaker 1: can win this game on Monday Night, you kind of

353
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 1: forget about all the previous losses. You get a first

354
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:20,159
Speaker 1: national championship in forty one years. You beat Nick Saban.

355
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 1: So even if Nick Saban or Belichick they beat you

356
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 1: the majority of the time, if you beat them with

357
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 1: all the chips in the middle, Like how did dab

358
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:31,400
Speaker 1: Will become a legend? Like truly a legend started beating

359
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 1: Nick Saban. You can beat Nick Saban. Just change Kirby's

360
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,440
Speaker 1: career and Kirby is great. He's probably the second best

361
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 1: coach right now. In the country. His team is loaded,

362
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 1: he recruits his ass off. They're just so physically produced

363
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:48,680
Speaker 1: a ton of NFL guys. But to really really take,

364
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:51,879
Speaker 1: you know, being that pantheon of where I think he

365
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:53,640
Speaker 1: wants to go and where he probably has the potential

366
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 1: to go, you have to beat Nick. He's favored again,

367
00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 1: favored in the SEC Championship game, now favored. Now. I'm very,

368
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 1: very excited for this. You know, basically SEC Championship two

369
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,359
Speaker 1: point oh. I have money on Bama. I wouldn't bet

370
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:10,439
Speaker 1: against Nick Saban as an underdog. History shows that's not

371
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:14,680
Speaker 1: a good idea. But I'm very very excited to watch

372
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 1: this bad boy. I appreciate I just I got it

373
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:20,200
Speaker 1: out for you guys. It's been a long forty eight hours,

374
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 1: I'll tell you that much. It's about eleven o'clock. We'll

375
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 1: have a longer pod coming this week, and we'll just

376
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 1: keep on rolling the volume.
