1 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:14,319 Speaker 1: This is straight Fire with Jason McIntyre. What is up? 2 00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:19,600 Speaker 1: Straight Fire? Fam, It's me Jason McIntyre. Straight Fire for Monday, 3 00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:24,079 Speaker 1: July eleven. I had a pretty great weekend, although it 4 00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:27,400 Speaker 1: ended on a down note on Sunday and my dad's 5 00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:30,120 Speaker 1: basketball league. No, we didn't lose. I'll get to that 6 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:32,839 Speaker 1: in a little bit. Got some good sports news on 7 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,320 Speaker 1: a Monday for you, Lamar Jackson. I'm sure you guys 8 00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:38,040 Speaker 1: saw his social media demanding money over the weekend. Not 9 00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:41,040 Speaker 1: a great look for him. We got the NBA's first 10 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,680 Speaker 1: sixty million dollar man. Who will get too shortly? I 11 00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,400 Speaker 1: think it would be surprised. Yes, I am going to 12 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:52,080 Speaker 1: touch on the Zack Wilson situation with the Jets against 13 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:56,120 Speaker 1: my better judgment and big MLS coaching change. And I 14 00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 1: know normally, you know, people won't care about an MLS 15 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:00,320 Speaker 1: coaching change, but one a legend to come to the 16 00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:03,880 Speaker 1: league kind of a big deal. Um. It's funny on 17 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,680 Speaker 1: summer weekends when I know there's really no sports to watch. Sorry, 18 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:10,280 Speaker 1: I didn't really get into Wimbledon. Congrats to Djokovic. I 19 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,759 Speaker 1: think he now has the most Grand slams on right. 20 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,840 Speaker 1: I listen, I didn't watch Wimbledon. Sorry, I saw some 21 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,679 Speaker 1: people writing about it on social media when I popped 22 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 1: on briefly Sunday morning. But overall, yeah, I didn't watch 23 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:24,560 Speaker 1: a lot of sports this weekend. Played a lot, hooped 24 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 1: on Saturday morning. Ended up going to the Dodgers game 25 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,640 Speaker 1: Saturday night. My buddy Jeff got secured great seats. This 26 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 1: is the guy with the Laker season tickets. In an oddity, 27 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 1: we were in an area where the foul balls were 28 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 1: coming your way. But not always foul balls. You know, 29 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 1: after the inning is over, they'll come toward the dugout 30 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 1: the Cubs in this case, and they'll toss some balls 31 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 1: over the mesh netting. So it was four of us sitting. 32 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 1: I was on the far right of the four seats, 33 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 1: and my buddy Jeff, who had the tickets, was the 34 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 1: second from the left. He had a ball toss over 35 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 1: the net land behind him. The guy literally behind him 36 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 1: got the ball, and the guy in front of him 37 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 1: snagged the ball. It was weird. Uh, neither guy had 38 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 1: a glove. You think in the moment, Oh man, I'm 39 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 1: gonna go up and get it. I'm gonna sacrifice the body. 40 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 1: I've got this you know, it's just it happened so fast, 41 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 1: and we were we were close on two of them, 42 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,080 Speaker 1: but I've never had one. The row in front and 43 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 1: the row behind a little disappointed that we did not 44 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 1: get one, But overall, good night at the Dodgers, and 45 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 1: Sunday was like the McEntire basketball family day. My daughter 46 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,919 Speaker 1: is in this summer league with boys and girls. It's 47 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 1: a tough lea. It's gonna be a tough season for her. 48 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,240 Speaker 1: They played the best team that's totally stacked. The coaches, 49 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 1: a total d bag who loaded up his team like 50 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:46,640 Speaker 1: the only guy who showed up in the draft. No 51 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 1: other coaches showed up, so he basically took a ridiculous team. 52 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 1: And then the other three teams are left fending for themselves. 53 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:55,919 Speaker 1: And you know, we have some good players. We might 54 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:57,920 Speaker 1: be able to take them down because we have the 55 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 1: best player in the league, I think. And um, it 56 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 1: was just the first game and we got a couple 57 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 1: of kids who have never really played basketball before, and 58 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,679 Speaker 1: my daughter had to assist on the very first play. 59 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:09,639 Speaker 1: We took it to nothing lead and then we lost. 60 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 1: But um, then my son played. He had a good start. 61 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,359 Speaker 1: It didn't end well and he had to leave early 62 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,520 Speaker 1: because he got into this uh math program. I know, 63 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,639 Speaker 1: it's it's a university here, so he had to miss 64 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter and they ended up losing. His coach, 65 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 1: I don't mind mentioning for the people who listen is 66 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 1: USC basketball coach and the Enfield. He has a son 67 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 1: that goes to one of the rival elementary schools around here. 68 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 1: Andy super nice guy. Of course I had to name 69 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 1: drop a couple AU coaches I know, so Andy would 70 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 1: be like, oh, you know people, But he did a 71 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: good job that the get the team lost. We were 72 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 1: missing our best guy and another kid who's pretty good. 73 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 1: But I think we gonna have a good summer. My 74 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 1: son likes the team. He's getting shots, but you know, 75 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 1: they they gotta and he's gotta make a couple of changes. Uh, 76 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 1: but I'll leave it at that, depending on who's listening. 77 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,119 Speaker 1: And then, of course, really quickly on my dad basketball game, 78 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 1: we played a team we beat in the opener by 79 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 1: like I don't know, and they added some guys. We 80 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 1: were down. Jeez, we were down are two of our 81 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 1: three big guys and then our best shooter. And this 82 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 1: is kind of a nip and tuck game. Of course, 83 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 1: you know. It's frustrating. I have been suffering some injuries lately. 84 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 1: If you guys remember playing basketball, I needed six stitches. 85 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe it was eight months ago, maybe 86 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,839 Speaker 1: it was ten months ago, but needed six stitches. It's frustrating. 87 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:43,839 Speaker 1: So I go to set a screen because they were overplaying, 88 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:45,840 Speaker 1: because we have some shooters. I go to set a 89 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 1: screen on the guy and he's running so fast that 90 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 1: even though I set the screen, his head slams right 91 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:55,040 Speaker 1: into my face, right where I needed the stitches. So 92 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 1: instantly I knew I could just feel the head. I 93 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 1: could feel I'm gonna get a black eye underneath my 94 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 1: eye and oh my gosh, to my face open the 95 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 1: switches that I had ten months ago. So I just 96 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 1: put up my hands, started walking to the bench and 97 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 1: I'm kind of covering my eye and I'm like, I 98 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:12,559 Speaker 1: got them, right to my daughter who has the camera 99 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 1: all the camera work from her, and I'm like, Bryn 100 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 1: is their blood and she goes yes, and I just 101 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,160 Speaker 1: knew it was not good. So I barely got I 102 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 1: went back in and tried to play, and she's like, Dad, 103 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,039 Speaker 1: you should not be going back in, you know, daughter 104 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,039 Speaker 1: looking out for me. I tried to give it a go, 105 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 1: but it just you know, it was a little there 106 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 1: was some blood. It could feel a little puffing, the distortion. 107 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 1: It's just I didn't play great, and um we got 108 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,360 Speaker 1: we pulled out the victory. Little physical game, Uh no doubt, 109 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,840 Speaker 1: but um we got the We got the dub. And 110 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,279 Speaker 1: next week, I believe you know, we're five and one 111 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 1: and the other team that's five and one who we 112 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,799 Speaker 1: beat by thirty, but they were missing, um, their second 113 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:49,920 Speaker 1: best player. So we played them next week. I don't 114 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 1: know if I'm gonna be able to go. You guys 115 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,920 Speaker 1: know how it works with the injuries. Dad's you know, 116 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 1: you gotta clear it with the wife. So lived this 117 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 1: morning I will be going to the guy who stitched 118 00:05:58,160 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 1: me up and find out if I need more stud 119 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:01,839 Speaker 1: is or if it's just gonna heal on its own. 120 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 1: And I gotta be on the shelf for a minute. 121 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 1: So you know, it's weird. I'm always thinking, like got 122 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 1: hurt in the soccer tournament, the concussion, the shoulder thing, 123 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 1: Like do I need to tone it down and just 124 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,360 Speaker 1: start focusing on tennis as I as I age into 125 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 1: uh my forties, here I don't know, a little disappointing, 126 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,840 Speaker 1: but you guys are here for sports, and um I 127 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,719 Speaker 1: did mention the Dodgers.

Like it's I gotta say as 147 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 1: much flak as I give social media and cell phones, 148 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 1: like the ability to be watching a soccer game UM 149 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 1: in Mexico on an app. It's pretty awesome while driving UM. 150 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 1: But in the MLS. I just gotta touch on this briefly. 151 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 1: So DC United is in a big time funk. And 152 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 1: if you remember, we had one of the owners for 153 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 1: the Lega MX team Nacosa on His name is Sam Porter. 154 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 1: I've known him five six seven years now, maybe going 155 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 1: on eight years. He was on the podcast talking about 156 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 1: soccer team ownership. He used to work for DC United. 157 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,800 Speaker 1: They are struggling right now. So d C United just 158 00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 1: brought in Wayne Rooney, straight up ledge and honestly one 159 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 1: of the great soccer players of his generation. Wayne Rooney 160 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 1: is thirty six years old and he's gonna be coaching 161 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 1: DC United. He has the most goals for the English 162 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 1: national team, most goals for in Manchester United, played for 163 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 1: d C a few years ago. I have a buddy 164 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 1: who's on the team. He married a friend of mine 165 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 1: from from the area I grew up in, so I 166 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 1: followed d C pretty closely and I just noticed this. 167 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 1: Wayne Rooney is only thirty six years old. Christiano Ronaldo 168 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 1: is thirty seven and he's gonna be playing in the 169 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:35,440 Speaker 1: World Cup this winter. That's a little nutty. I did 170 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 1: not realize Rooney already transitioning to coaching while Ronaldo is 171 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 1: still playing at a high level for Portugal. At any rate, 172 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,719 Speaker 1: enough soccer. I don't know which would you guys want 173 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 1: me to start with? The NBA or the NFL. I'll 174 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,319 Speaker 1: save Zack Wilson for last, just because it's the Jets 175 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 1: and it's very, very rumor heavy at this point. Damian 176 00:08:56,520 --> 00:09:00,840 Speaker 1: Lillard and the Portland Trailblazers listen. I had been hoping 177 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:02,560 Speaker 1: Dame could go to the Lakers. I thought it would 178 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 1: make all the sense in the world for them to rebuild. 179 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 1: Try to speak it into existence. It did not happen. 180 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:11,560 Speaker 1: Damian Lillard staying in Portland? Are you ready? Two years 181 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:16,719 Speaker 1: hundred and twenty two million dollars? Best I can tell, 182 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,960 Speaker 1: he's the first sixty million dollar man in the NBA. 183 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 1: He's made a lot of money. We had a great 184 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 1: run in Portland. Let's be realistic. All they did was 185 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 1: at Jeremy Grant. Are we really supposed to leave? Believes 186 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 1: suddenly Portland, which won twenty seven games. Now, Damian Lillard 187 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 1: barely played last year because he had the ab surgery, 188 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 1: turned thirty two, traded away. McCollum, Are we supposed to 189 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,839 Speaker 1: believe that the Blazers in the next two years, while 190 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 1: paying Dame sixty mill, are supposed to contend. I don't 191 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:52,439 Speaker 1: want to compare this to Kobe, because, um, you know, 192 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:54,560 Speaker 1: Kobe won a bunch of titles with the Lakers, and 193 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 1: he's one of the greatest players in the history of basketball, 194 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,240 Speaker 1: and Damian Lillard a very very good player, an all 195 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,600 Speaker 1: time great, a Hall of Fame slam dunk. I just 196 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 1: don't know that this trade makes sense. They are prolonging 197 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 1: the inevitable. You're gonna have to rebuild. You gave Damian 198 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 1: Little d twenty two mill, gave Anthony Simons a Hunter mill, 199 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,439 Speaker 1: the rest of your roster, Josh Hart, Jeremy Grant, Yusef 200 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 1: Nurkic the bench. They did sign Gary Payton's kid from 201 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 1: the Warriors, neere little Wolf see Justice Winslow and all 202 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 1: time disappointment given what he was a duke. Shaden Sharp 203 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:30,959 Speaker 1: already got hurt in summer League. I mean, what's he 204 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 1: gonna do. He's nineteen years old. Is he's really gonna 205 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 1: help you? I just I don't know what they're doing. 206 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,439 Speaker 1: It feels like what when the Lakers paid Kobe thank 207 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:40,880 Speaker 1: you for your service. Here's a lot of money, and 208 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 1: then the Lakers went into like a six year funk. 209 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,560 Speaker 1: I can see Portland, after giving Dame all this money, 210 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:50,199 Speaker 1: just totally going south. I'm telling you right now, they 211 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 1: will need like three teams to have big time injury issues. 212 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:55,840 Speaker 1: If Portland's gonna make the playoffs. As good as Damian 213 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 1: Lillard is, he can't do this by himself. And the 214 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 1: West has gotten so much better then three years ago. 215 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 1: In Portland was very good. I mean, Golden States back, 216 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:10,000 Speaker 1: the Clippers are there, the New Orleans Pelicans are a threat. 217 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 1: Believe it or not, Dallas went to the conference finals. Guys, 218 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 1: this is a loaded Western conference. I don't know what 219 00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 1: Portland thinks they're doing. I did see an article. I 220 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,200 Speaker 1: forget where this what the source of this was. But 221 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 1: it's like a lot of people in Portland are like 222 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 1: begging the owner to sell the team. Paul Allen's daughter, 223 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 1: I guess, or wife, I don't know. You know Micro 224 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:37,679 Speaker 1: I think he's a Microsoft billionaire. But the front office 225 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 1: is in flux. They just hired a bunch of young guys, 226 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,199 Speaker 1: like I don't know what challenge Billips is doing there, 227 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:47,000 Speaker 1: Damian Lillard clinging to some you know, wistful past with 228 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:50,080 Speaker 1: Damon c J and playoff runs like I think that 229 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:53,680 Speaker 1: ship is sailed. That being said, let's get to the NFL, 230 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 1: where there are two big, big, big stories here on 231 00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,080 Speaker 1: the Monday morning, as we wait for this week's Deshaun 232 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 1: Watson news, which for whatever reason just keeps getting strung out. 233 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 1: I go, I can't even stomach that this is still happening. 234 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,920 Speaker 1: I will quickly say, on Deshaun Watson, I do wonder. 235 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:17,200 Speaker 1: The day after Baker Mayfield was traded, you had two 236 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 1: female reporters, I think it was Josina Anderson came out 237 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:26,720 Speaker 1: and said that one of the women who was suing 238 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson, she had told her son, like nothing happened, 239 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,600 Speaker 1: her older son, I guess he's like an adult, and 240 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 1: he was deposed I guess by the NFL and said 241 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,960 Speaker 1: that like, yeah, there was really nothing there, and then 242 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, when she saw all these other 243 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,720 Speaker 1: people suing, she jumped in and it was a weird 244 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:52,199 Speaker 1: thing to leak. The day after Cleveland traded Baker Mayfield. 245 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 1: It felt like, Hey, I know everybody thinks we're screwed 246 00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:58,480 Speaker 1: and it's gonna be the Jacoby Percet Show. But now 247 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,200 Speaker 1: that we unloaded Baker and we know the suspension is 248 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 1: not going to be sixteen games or twelve or maybe 249 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:07,920 Speaker 1: even not ten, let's let's get rid of Baker and 250 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,720 Speaker 1: let's start putting out our side. Quietly. We haven't really 251 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 1: fought back. I don't know what you can fight back with, 252 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:14,960 Speaker 1: but you know how this works. In the its it's 253 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:18,959 Speaker 1: all spin job by both sides and a d d 254 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,839 Speaker 1: who worked worked for the NFL network. I'm not sure 255 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,480 Speaker 1: where she is now, but she also came out and said, 256 00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:26,959 Speaker 1: the Browns don't think it's gonna be double digit games. 257 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:30,600 Speaker 1: So now it's what looked like a year is now 258 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 1: starting to feel like maybe six to eight something in 259 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,080 Speaker 1: that neighborhood. Maybe it's ten negotiated down to eight. I 260 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 1: don't know, but we expect some to Shawn Watson News 261 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:44,200 Speaker 1: this week.

In 265 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 1: other quarterback news that's more positive than funny. Lamar Jackson 266 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,120 Speaker 1: over the weekend. I guess his talks are not going 267 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 1: well with Piscati and the ownership of the Ravens because 268 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:11,400 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson changed his avatar to like the grill, you know, 269 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:15,000 Speaker 1: the mouth gold stuff that the rappers wear, gold stuff 270 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:19,480 Speaker 1: that sounds terrible and it says I need money and 271 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,520 Speaker 1: it's his avatar on Instagram and his background on Twitter, 272 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,760 Speaker 1: like that's the new Hey, things aren't going my way. 273 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,360 Speaker 1: Let me negotiate with them through social media, where all 274 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 1: my fans they're here for me, are going to keep 275 00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 1: up for me and be like pay that man is money. 276 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:39,040 Speaker 1: And you know, Lamar Jackson clearly has a case. Hey, guys, 277 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:43,480 Speaker 1: guess what. I have an m VP award and we've 278 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 1: been to the playoffs. I believe two out of four seasons. 279 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 1: I got a little dinged up last year. My numbers 280 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:54,440 Speaker 1: are pretty great. Um, I know I've had some issues 281 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,400 Speaker 1: in the playoffs, but oh, by the way, I do 282 00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 1: have a playoff win, which was in and his playoff 283 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:06,400 Speaker 1: numbers actually are bad. Three touchdowns, five picks in four games. 284 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 1: The Buffalo loss was tough, but you know, Buffalo was 285 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,800 Speaker 1: very very good. To win over Tennessee was you know 286 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 1: good he was. He was strong and that when they 287 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 1: bounced back from an early deficit. I throw out the 288 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:21,120 Speaker 1: early one against the Chargers. I mean, he played like 289 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,920 Speaker 1: seven games in his career at that point. But bottom 290 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:25,960 Speaker 1: line is, you gotta pay Lamar Jackson. And if they 291 00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:30,840 Speaker 1: didn't learn their lesson from watching Dak Prescott, teams have 292 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:34,680 Speaker 1: to realize it's tough to find a quarterback. The earlier 293 00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:36,880 Speaker 1: you pay, the better it turns out for you. The 294 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,840 Speaker 1: longer you wait, the price goes up because someone else 295 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,000 Speaker 1: signs a deal, and next thing you know, you've got 296 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:45,880 Speaker 1: to match that. And frankly, Dak Prescott got a lot 297 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,600 Speaker 1: of money. I don't see how Lamar Jackson doesn't get 298 00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:52,600 Speaker 1: at least what he got, at least he said, way 299 00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:56,040 Speaker 1: more success than Dak Prescott. It's not even really close. 300 00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 1: And I don't care if you want to go by 301 00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:01,240 Speaker 1: the football outside of metric the pro football focus, Lamar 302 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 1: Jackson's a better quarterback and has proven more through what 303 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:08,000 Speaker 1: four seasons than Dak Prescott. I don't think there's even 304 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:12,119 Speaker 1: an argument there. I mean, Lamar Jackson. We can dispute 305 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,840 Speaker 1: how good of a thrower he is. I'm just telling 306 00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:19,040 Speaker 1: you the numbers don't like Dak Prescott has not been 307 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 1: as good as Lamar Jackson. So when Lamar walks into 308 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:23,640 Speaker 1: that room, and unfortunately, I think he has his mom 309 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:28,520 Speaker 1: negotiating for him because she's his agent. Like, the baseline 310 00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 1: for any Lamar contract is what did Dack get? I 311 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 1: see that, and I want more. Now. He's not gonna 312 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:36,840 Speaker 1: get what Mahomes got. He's not gonna get with Josh 313 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,520 Speaker 1: Allen Gott. But I don't see why he shouldn't get 314 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 1: what Dak Prescott got. And again, this is not a man. 315 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:44,600 Speaker 1: He's not worth that, because that's not how it works. 316 00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 1: It's like the housing market. Guys. If a house in 317 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:51,840 Speaker 1: the neighborhood goes for X, that's the new baseline by 318 00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 1: and large. You know, maybe there's some wiggle room to 319 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:58,200 Speaker 1: the square feet or acreage um but or newness of 320 00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 1: the house, or maybe they added a basement or whatever, 321 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,840 Speaker 1: but by and large, that's the new baseline. And I 322 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:06,280 Speaker 1: think that stinks because we were house shopping. I don't 323 00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:08,359 Speaker 1: care talking about this. You know, we moved out to 324 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,040 Speaker 1: l A and I was like, well, we're gonna rent 325 00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,080 Speaker 1: I mean, I know the TV business is fickle, and 326 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,160 Speaker 1: who knows how this is going to go. Of course, 327 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 1: down on my third contract and like, you know, things 328 00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:19,879 Speaker 1: are good. We missed the window on buying twice, so 329 00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,439 Speaker 1: we're in a good rental. It worked out great during COVID. 330 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:27,399 Speaker 1: We love it, location, proximity, all that, and then we 331 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,200 Speaker 1: started to look, of course, you know, six months ago, 332 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:34,719 Speaker 1: and the market's going bonkers and everybody's just asking ridiculous prices, 333 00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:36,200 Speaker 1: and I'm like, all right, so we have an option 334 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:40,200 Speaker 1: of low balling people and pissing off agents and getting 335 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:42,280 Speaker 1: on their bad side when they have the upper hand, 336 00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,360 Speaker 1: or we just waited out, and we just waited it out. 337 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,199 Speaker 1: And now things are starting to turn our way. Markets 338 00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,159 Speaker 1: coming down, a little, interest rates going up, a lot 339 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 1: of people looking to unload, and as more houses flood 340 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:57,280 Speaker 1: the market, whoever undercuts the market wins. Right. So in 341 00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 1: the quarterback business there, listen, it's almost the exact opposite. 342 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:05,960 Speaker 1: And the market is, hey, you've got to pay lamar 343 00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,760 Speaker 1: what Dak Prescott got or you run the risk of 344 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 1: losing him. I guess you could franchise, tag him and 345 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:12,800 Speaker 1: go to Kirk Cousins route where you tag him twice 346 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:15,840 Speaker 1: and then he's cut loose. But let's be real, guys, 347 00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:18,600 Speaker 1: how hard is it to find a starting quarterback. We've 348 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:22,879 Speaker 1: been over this a dozen times. It is very difficult 349 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,359 Speaker 1: to just draft the quarterback and think you've got your guy. 350 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:28,280 Speaker 1: Did they get a little lucky with Lamar at the 351 00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 1: end of the first round? Of course they did, certainly. 352 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:34,600 Speaker 1: I mean they got a little lucky with Joe Flacco. 353 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 1: It has worked out for them. Do they have a 354 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:39,400 Speaker 1: Super Bowl with Lamar? No? But are they certainly a contender? 355 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:42,640 Speaker 1: I like this team a lot this year. I don't 356 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:44,600 Speaker 1: know what you couldn't like, given all the injuries they 357 00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:46,560 Speaker 1: had last year and still how competitive they were. The 358 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 1: coaching staff is good, The pieces around Lamar are good. 359 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:52,879 Speaker 1: The only problem, of course, is the a f C 360 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:57,439 Speaker 1: is just insane. Depth wise. It blows away the NFC. 361 00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,640 Speaker 1: So if I'm Lamar Jackson, I walk and I say 362 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:05,760 Speaker 1: here's Dax's contract, are you gonna match? And again, that's 363 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:09,880 Speaker 1: the bare minimum. It's like here's what Dad got. Start there. 364 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 1: I think it's a little presumptuous to say we want 365 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 1: what Patrick Mahomes got. I mean, he's been four straight 366 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:18,359 Speaker 1: an FC title games, two Super Bowls. You're not getting 367 00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 1: what he got. Um I Josh Allen. I know Lamar 368 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,399 Speaker 1: has an m VP and Josh Allen is on the 369 00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,960 Speaker 1: come up. But I just if you're asking me, Jason, 370 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 1: who would you rather have Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson 371 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:36,199 Speaker 1: Two years ago, I would have I could have made 372 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,639 Speaker 1: a case for Lamar Jackson. I think at this point 373 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 1: you can't argue Josh Allen has to be the guy. 374 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:42,399 Speaker 1: I mean, Josh Allen comes in as one of the 375 00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:44,080 Speaker 1: favorites for the m v P this year. The Bills 376 00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 1: are Super Bowl. I think the super Bowl favorites. I 377 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:52,639 Speaker 1: believe they are. It's it's just a bad time for 378 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:57,880 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson to be saying I would love Josh Allen. 379 00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,200 Speaker 1: Contract he hasn't been to the Super Bowl and either 380 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,320 Speaker 1: of I like I have an m v P. You know, 381 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 1: I think Lamar has a good case for getting somewhere 382 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 1: between Dak Prescott and Josh Allen. That to me is 383 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:13,720 Speaker 1: fair value for Lamar Jackson and Baltimore cannot screw around 384 00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 1: with this because again, you don't want to go through 385 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,399 Speaker 1: the Kirk Cousins situation. And by the way, uh, you know, 386 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:21,720 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson is better than Kirk Cousins. That doesn't need 387 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,639 Speaker 1: to be said. Let's wrap up with a story that 388 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:26,760 Speaker 1: I'm very reluctant to talk about. And there's a chance 389 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 1: that Rob g Producer to the Stars, when he gets 390 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 1: back from his weekend excursion and he edits this, he's 391 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,280 Speaker 1: gonna say, Jay, this is this is two way way 392 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:39,200 Speaker 1: way too risky. We can't we can't talk about the 393 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 1: Zach Wilson stuff. And I had missed it until my 394 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:48,520 Speaker 1: buddy Dan sent it to me, and it was a 395 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 1: ridiculous headline from one of these aggregating NFL gossip sites 396 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 1: about Zack Wilson, Jets quarterback, broke up with his girlfriend 397 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:04,119 Speaker 1: who is some very attractive female from b y U 398 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:08,240 Speaker 1: and now she is dating his former roommate at b 399 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:10,439 Speaker 1: y U who was a receiver I think for who 400 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:12,840 Speaker 1: plays for the Washington Commanders or he's on the practice 401 00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:15,240 Speaker 1: squad or whatever. And it was like, you know, you 402 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,479 Speaker 1: could just go to Instagram and search if the persons 403 00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:19,359 Speaker 1: following and all this nonsense. So they did that, and 404 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,840 Speaker 1: Zach Wilson and his girlfriend broke up. So of course, 405 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,879 Speaker 1: what do people do. They go on on Instagram and 406 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:30,960 Speaker 1: just start crushing the girlfriend. They called her a homie hopper, 407 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:34,760 Speaker 1: which I guess is twenties speak for she dated one 408 00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:38,119 Speaker 1: guy in the crew and now she's dating another. I 409 00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:40,680 Speaker 1: was unaware that the phrase homie hopper, but I guess 410 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:44,399 Speaker 1: it exists. So what does Zach Wilson's ex girlfriend do. 411 00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:49,720 Speaker 1: She goes on the Instagram and replies, well, the real 412 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:54,160 Speaker 1: homie hopper is Zack Wilson, who cheated on me with 413 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:57,639 Speaker 1: his mom's best friend. And at that point, it's like, Okay, 414 00:21:57,720 --> 00:21:59,399 Speaker 1: do I do I really need to hear this? Do 415 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 1: I need to talk about this from my quarterback Zack Wilson? 416 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,520 Speaker 1: And I'll tell you like the second or third thought 417 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:06,159 Speaker 1: that came into my head. The first one was I 418 00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,320 Speaker 1: need to google the mom's best friend. I'm just curious, 419 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:12,439 Speaker 1: as any guy would. I I thought, jeez, this is 420 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:16,040 Speaker 1: kind of Mark Sanchez and Sam Donald all over again. Right, 421 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:23,520 Speaker 1: young handsome quarterback, New York City and he's just getting 422 00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:27,160 Speaker 1: into a lot of exciting things with girls. Remember Sam 423 00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 1: Donald had mono that kept him out for a period 424 00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,880 Speaker 1: of time. Mark Sanchez had a bunch of missteps. Um, 425 00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 1: some that were I think talked about on in the 426 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,200 Speaker 1: papers in New York and others that were not marks 427 00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:40,919 Speaker 1: a colleague get Fox. So I'm not gonna get into it. 428 00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:43,800 Speaker 1: I was always a Sanchez guy. Um, he did get 429 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:45,359 Speaker 1: to two a f C title games with the Jets. 430 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 1: I will brag about that forever as a Jets fan. Um, 431 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,680 Speaker 1: But like, listen, you get to New York, your cover boy, 432 00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 1: Zach Wilson's getting invites every to all the parties. He's 433 00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:00,760 Speaker 1: a handsome dude, he's QB one, he's making the dollars. 434 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,880 Speaker 1: He's got his posse rolling with him everywhere, like he's 435 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:08,360 Speaker 1: probably got a lot of options. And unfortunately for him, 436 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,480 Speaker 1: this ain't gonna be going away because this is red 437 00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:13,840 Speaker 1: meat in the water for the tabloids of New York City. 438 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:18,000 Speaker 1: I would not be surprised if this is like the 439 00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:20,920 Speaker 1: number one topic for the Jets. And I bet you 440 00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:24,959 Speaker 1: Salah is pissed, and I bet you Jets players are 441 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:28,120 Speaker 1: laughing about it. But Jets fans who are smart are 442 00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:30,560 Speaker 1: just like, jeez, is this what we meet? Like? The 443 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:35,920 Speaker 1: Jets had a crushed off season. They were dominant, absolutely 444 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:39,000 Speaker 1: slaid the draft, did a great job in free agency, 445 00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,119 Speaker 1: and they come in with expectations and I'm sure you 446 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:44,240 Speaker 1: guys saw the Jets are one of the most bet 447 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 1: teams over wins for this upcoming season because everybody loved 448 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:53,639 Speaker 1: their draft, and you know, they had some injuries. I 449 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:55,280 Speaker 1: think they're gonna be good. I don't know. Are they 450 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,440 Speaker 1: have five team? Probably? He can't be five with seventeen games. 451 00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:00,720 Speaker 1: But are they an eight win team? Are nine win team? 452 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,760 Speaker 1: Probably not? But they're better. They'll be better than they 453 00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:06,120 Speaker 1: were last year. And the real question is can Zach 454 00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:10,240 Speaker 1: Wilson A stay healthy and be can that offense get started? 455 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:13,679 Speaker 1: And there is optimism for both, especially given the weapons 456 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,600 Speaker 1: they have. And now you got your quarterback who's certainly 457 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:20,000 Speaker 1: in his own head all weekend when he's getting written 458 00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:23,800 Speaker 1: about that he's now uh into the Cougars. And there 459 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 1: was a bunch of memes flying around. There were some 460 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,480 Speaker 1: pretty funny ones. I I decided I was not going 461 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,439 Speaker 1: to push them on my social just because, uh, you know, 462 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:36,520 Speaker 1: you never know who's looking at that kind of thing. So, um, listen, 463 00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:39,679 Speaker 1: you don't want to make any sweeping judgments about Zack Wilson. 464 00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:43,160 Speaker 1: And yes, it's kind of funny. It's funny. I used 465 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:46,640 Speaker 1: to call him the Mormon Mahomes and now everybody's calling 466 00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:49,960 Speaker 1: him the Mormon man zeal because Johnny Football obviously a 467 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:54,080 Speaker 1: party animal. And ye, not the kind of story I 468 00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,320 Speaker 1: wanted to start the week with, Zach, but um, I'm 469 00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:59,520 Speaker 1: optimistic the Jets will get it together. That's it from Monday. 470 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:00,359 Speaker 1: I'll talk you more
