So normally, we start 26 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 1: with the Sunday Nike that was such a dud. I mean, 27 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 1: my god, you all told me JJ McCarthy, all JJ McCarthy, 28 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 1: he's gonna be better because he didn't play as a rookie. 29 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 1: He got hurt, and he went to all the meetings 30 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 1: and he learned everything, and oh man, he's so good. 31 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 1: The guy blows Okay, two games in McCarthy sucks and 32 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 1: it's bad television. How did that game end up in 33 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 1: Sunday night football? How does Minnesota and Atlanta? What a 34 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 1: clunker that was? In my opinion, that sucked. So in 35 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:17,760 Speaker 1: an active protest against this malfeasans by the NFL that's 36 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,520 Speaker 1: supposed to put the top teams in the Sunday night window, 37 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 1: we're gonna skip over that game till later we've got 38 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 1: four hours and instead a rematch the game of the weekend, 39 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 1: which also wasn't all that great, but it was at 40 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,520 Speaker 1: Arrowhead Stadium in Cannes City, and so that is where 41 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 1: we will start, and that is our lead here. As 42 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 1: the Chiefs, who have been consistently dominant even when they're bad, 43 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 1: they get to the AFC Championship game. They're at the 44 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 1: point now where mathematically it's not looking very good. Two 45 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 1: weeks into the NFL season, it's not looking very good. 46 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,639 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs are zero and two. They 47 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:59,359 Speaker 1: are all and two, which I'm told is not good. 48 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 1: I didn't play in the NFL. I know Ryan Clark 49 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 1: probably doesn't want me to give a take on this, 50 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,360 Speaker 1: but I don't think that's that good. I don't think 51 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 1: it's not good. So oh and two after losing the 52 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 1: much anticipated rematch there on America's Game of the Week, 53 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 1: and if you saw this game or not, we're watching 54 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 1: it was everywhere. Not a lot going on in the 55 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 1: late television window. And if you didn't see it, well listen, 56 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,799 Speaker 1: we know the better stories in the losing locker room. 57 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,399 Speaker 1: So that is where we're gonna focus here. Well, it's 58 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:33,919 Speaker 1: not the the outcome that is shocking. I picked on 59 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 1: Benny versus the pay we had to be the Eagles 60 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 1: on that. If you watch the YouTube show, we had 61 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 1: the Eagles in that game on a few things we 62 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 1: got right this weekend, so it's not shocking the Chiefs loss. 63 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 1: This is only a second time Mahomes has been an 64 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 1: underdog at home. And there's a reason he was an 65 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 1: underdog because the Chiefs aren't very good right now. They're 66 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 1: oh and two. Mahomes was asked about this. He said, well, 67 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 1: it's not the start we wanted. Mahomes said he believes 68 00:03:56,440 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 1: Kansas City is quote close he said, to figuring things out. Quote. 69 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 1: I know it sucks to hear it for the fans, 70 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 1: Mahomes said, but you know what butt means. He said, 71 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 1: I feel like we're close. He said, we're We've got 72 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 1: to keep working and get ready for the Giants next week, 73 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,359 Speaker 1: all right, close quote on that. So let us discuss 74 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 1: the question. Can you please decode the message within the 75 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:30,679 Speaker 1: message from Patrick Mahomes as the Chiefs are as he says, close, 76 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 1: They're close to figuring things out, all right. So my 77 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 1: thoughts on this, I've got Tutoring, Lightning and Marvel Comics, 78 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together and 79 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,480 Speaker 1: we are going to make some delicious, crunchy Taketo's is 80 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 1: what we're going to make. We're gonna make those so 81 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 1: a uh, there's not too deep to dig in this 82 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,479 Speaker 1: particular commentary from Patrick Mahomes. Here, here's what Mahomes is 83 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 1: really saying. Keep it simple, stupid is what he's saying. 84 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 1: He's saying that, hey, we've got he said it. We 85 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:11,480 Speaker 1: got the Giants on NBC coming up on Sunday night. 86 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,920 Speaker 1: That is the NFL's version of a layup line. That 87 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 1: is a pitch and putt is what that is. That 88 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 1: is homecoming opponent time when you play well. The Giants 89 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 1: scored a lot of points against the Cowboys. How'd that 90 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:28,720 Speaker 1: turn out? Yeah, they scored their quota of points, which 91 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,360 Speaker 1: means the Giants are likely they're going to go back 92 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:35,599 Speaker 1: to scoring seventeen points or something like that next week. 93 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 1: That is a pinata game. You want that game. That 94 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:43,040 Speaker 1: is a well scheduled game. It's show up, collect a win. 95 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:47,719 Speaker 1: And Moms is essentially admitting here that, hey, the Chiefs 96 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 1: are not right all right. The schedule maker, though, handed 97 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 1: us a gift. And that's a nice soft served cone. 98 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,599 Speaker 1: That's a delicious soft serve cone. And so don't worry 99 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,280 Speaker 1: about it. We're gonna be back on track here and 100 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 1: we'll be okay. We'll win the game. It's not gonna 101 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,159 Speaker 1: be pretty, but we're gonna win the game. That's it. 102 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 1: The Giants are exactly exactly what the Kansas City Chiefs 103 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 1: need right now. And let's not kidd ourselves here. This 104 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 1: Chiefs offense is lacking. They're lacking a lot. I mean 105 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 1: they are. It's a hot mess. It's a stew, and 106 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 1: not a good kind of stew. That's Simmary there there. 107 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,480 Speaker 1: There's not a lot of meat on the ball. Where's 108 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,039 Speaker 1: the razzle dazzle. There's not a lot of razzle dazzle. 109 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 1: Where's the circus sole, the Circus act that used to 110 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 1: terrify defenses and all that stuff. Where's that? It's gone? 111 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:40,920 Speaker 1: I doubt say it. Do you see it? I don't 112 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 1: see it. Maybe my eyesight's going back. I do not 113 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 1: see it when I watch the Chiefs play, I don't 114 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,279 Speaker 1: see that in the first two games. And this is 115 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 1: a plodding team. It is a paint drying type team. Offensively. 116 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 1: When you watch this team go about their business, there 117 00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:00,280 Speaker 1: is just not Eliza. Well, they're good. Injuries. Okay, as 118 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,360 Speaker 1: far as Mahomes say, we're close to figuring it out. 119 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,360 Speaker 1: Isn't the whole job to figure it out when the 120 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 1: when the games begin, and not a couple of weeks 121 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 1: into the season. That isn't the whole thing to come 122 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 1: out here. You've been around, you've got the championship pedigree 123 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 1: and all that stuff, and you just come out of 124 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 1: the gates and and get it going. Well. Andy Reid 125 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 1: chimed in on this big riot, Andy Reid, and do 126 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 1: you think Andy Reid is blaming Mahomes? Do you think 127 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 1: he's blaming Travis Kelcey, or do you think he's doing 128 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 1: what every else coach, every other coach in the world does, say, 129 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 1: I'm the guy, blame me, I'm the guy. Let's take 130 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 1: it us. 131 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 4: I'll take four responsibilities for the game, all right. I 132 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 4: probably say too aggressive on that, and that's my responsibility. 133 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 4: My guys played their tail off and played hard and 134 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 4: aggressive football, and and they stuck together throughout the game. 135 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 4: And and they'll pay for us down the road when 136 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 4: as we continue to grow. 137 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 1: So you're never ever there's a couple of cardinal rules 138 00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:00,160 Speaker 1: in sports. One of them is you can never ever 139 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 1: say your team is lazy and they don't play hard. 140 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 1: That is a capital offense, right, that gets you fired. 141 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 1: So even when your team is terrible, you have to 142 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 1: say they're playing hard. You have to say that, But 143 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 1: you look at the offense. I keep going back to this. 144 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 1: It's a paint drying type situation here. But there is 145 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 1: a lot of playmakers that are more like traffic cones 146 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 1: when you watch them go about their business. There there 147 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 1: is nobody that really scares you. Nobody that scares you you. 148 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 1: Kelsey's continued to get he's old, he's an old player, 149 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 1: and he's more worried about podcast and is a little 150 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 1: lady friend that he's gonna marry. And that's fine, that's 151 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 1: his life, but doesn't help the Chiefs out right now. 152 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,080 Speaker 1: You talk about what he was, not what he is 153 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,440 Speaker 1: anymore because he's a shell of what he used to be, 154 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,840 Speaker 1: and that's normally how that works. But he's still out 155 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 1: there that can't get rid of him because he's Travis Kelsey. 156 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 1: You got to keep throwing his rotting carcass out on 157 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 1: the field in every game. But you look around. The 158 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,679 Speaker 1: defense is legit in Kansas City, so you figure they 159 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:02,599 Speaker 1: just got to get a little bit more, just a 160 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 1: little slightly more on offense and they can be okay. 161 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 1: But at the moment, and we do the show today 162 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 1: and at the moment that is a yawn fest, that 163 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 1: is an absolute yawn fest. And let's not gloss over 164 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:18,079 Speaker 1: this that Patrick Mahomes himself has not been good enough. 165 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 1: So well, we don't know the playmakers, all right. Wasn't 166 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,559 Speaker 1: it the quarterback that makes the players around him better? 167 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 1: Isn't that always the argument that we make that the 168 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 1: elevate the quarterback elevates the people around him. And the 169 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,840 Speaker 1: early placement exam a couple weeks into the regular season 170 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 1: and Kansas City needs some tutoring is what they need? 171 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:42,839 Speaker 1: They do. The Eagles are a measuring stick game. Every man, 172 00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,520 Speaker 1: woman and child knows that. And Kansas City they got 173 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 1: measured and they got weighed and they were found wanting 174 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 1: is the way it was? Right? The game was again, 175 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,080 Speaker 1: it was not they had a chance. They did have 176 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 1: a chance to win the game. And you know the 177 00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,200 Speaker 1: mathematically in the fourth quarter and you can do the 178 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 1: math on that. But with offenses looked like they were 179 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:05,559 Speaker 1: slogging through the mud. And I didn't seen any mud. 180 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:07,199 Speaker 1: Did you see mud? I didn't see mud. Did you 181 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,440 Speaker 1: see I didn't see any mud? Some of homes saying 182 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:14,079 Speaker 1: we're close, and using that line is really like, hey, please, 183 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 1: you loyal minions, you loyal minions, do not freak out. No, no, 184 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,680 Speaker 1: nothing to see here. We've got the Giants, and that's 185 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 1: a feel good opponent. That is a feel good opponent 186 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 1: when you play the Giants, feel good. But the week 187 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 1: after that, the Ravens, they come a call in at Arrowhead. 188 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,720 Speaker 1: So you gotta beat the Giants. You don't beat the 189 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,320 Speaker 1: Giants the way the unless the Chiefs get a bunch 190 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 1: of guys back that all of a sudden can run 191 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,600 Speaker 1: and catch passes and run through the defense, then you're looking. 192 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:45,200 Speaker 1: If they don't beat the Giants and you're going to 193 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,680 Speaker 1: zero and four, then's doomsday prophecies. So you gotta beat 194 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,320 Speaker 1: the You've got to beat the Giants, and then maybe 195 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 1: are pulling upset against Baltimore. You are at home, But 196 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 1: that's a wood chipper game after that. So yeah, close 197 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:03,840 Speaker 1: in Chiefs verbiage saying you're close. You know, we're close 198 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 1: to getting a get well game, get well game. You're 199 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,720 Speaker 1: close to that there, and then we get slapped back 200 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 1: in the face right after that. Now, meanwhile, the story 201 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:16,199 Speaker 1: within the story here, the subplot from this particular game. 202 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 1: I think you know where I'm going with this. It 203 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:21,240 Speaker 1: involves one of my favorite things to talk about, the 204 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 1: tush push. That's right the touchboard. So instead of everyone 205 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 1: focused in on Mahomes, I started with Ohlmes. But instead 206 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 1: of most people focusing in on Patrick Mahomes and Andy 207 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 1: Reid and even Nick Sirianni, it's all the conversation, all 208 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 1: the rage, all the rage. It's all about Jalen Hurts 209 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 1: and the caboose being pushed. Push the caboose, push the caboose, 210 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 1: push the caboose. Just like that, you're being shoved across 211 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 1: the line to gain the line of scrimmage here. So 212 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,720 Speaker 1: there was a famous play, I say famous relatively speaking, 213 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:01,840 Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter of this game. Tom Brady was 214 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 1: on the call on Fox and he still stinks as 215 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:08,120 Speaker 1: a broadcaster. But Tom Brady was crying a foul, crying 216 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,720 Speaker 1: a foul about the Eagles offensive line moving early, which 217 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:14,280 Speaker 1: is they obviously did you You don't have to have 218 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 1: seen the play, even are blind listeners know they moved early. 219 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 1: So the question on this one, it's not just that 220 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,560 Speaker 1: particular play that was the ignition point, if you will. 221 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 1: So it's not just that play. That was the ignition point. 222 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 1: But the question, give me your reaction, give me your 223 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:35,680 Speaker 1: reaction to the latest kerfluffel over the Eagles. Jalen hurts, 224 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:39,880 Speaker 1: push push, as this is now like the swallows returning 225 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 1: to Capistrano, and it's it's a nons It's a story 226 00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 1: that every year, every single year, becomes a talking point 227 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 1: here and a couple of times a year. And so anyway, 228 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,320 Speaker 1: here's Andy Reid again. Here's Andy Reid his take on 229 00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:58,840 Speaker 1: what appeared to be a clear violation that was not 230 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 1: called by the referees. The Eagles jumped off side stakes. 231 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 4: You know, you try to get penetration as what you 232 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 4: try to do and be a will stop it. That's 233 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 4: a pretty rough one. 234 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 5: You know. 235 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 4: I might have a couple of them that they got 236 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:17,040 Speaker 4: off a little early on. But we'll look at that. 237 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, what is there to look at. We all saw it. 238 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 1: You don't look at it. It's gonna change anything, all right. 239 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,680 Speaker 1: So the NFL spends all this money on replay, and 240 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:29,480 Speaker 1: they spend all you all this. Yeah, and we got 241 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 1: every call right, every call right, of course, not the 242 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:35,320 Speaker 1: human elements part of it was obvious. It's like three 243 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,800 Speaker 1: guys jumped off sides at least two, probably three, and 244 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 1: they didn't call it. So on the play in question, 245 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 1: the obvious off sides. The officials it was like Ray 246 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,280 Speaker 1: Charles and his friends were all there as we had 247 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 1: Stevie Meatball's blind Emmett. We had that guy used to 248 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 1: call a show that quits like a lunatic every other week, 249 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 1: Blind Scott. They all, they all did it. They were 250 00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:00,480 Speaker 1: all the referees there. Clearly we we had in terror. 251 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,640 Speaker 1: He was the lead official in this. So the Zebras 252 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 1: they need to go out to lens crafters is what 253 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:11,440 Speaker 1: they do here. And a multiple bird brain linemen who 254 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:15,240 Speaker 1: were doing the cha cha cha before they were supposed 255 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,960 Speaker 1: to be doing the cha cha cha before the snap. 256 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 1: Of course, people lose their minds, Oh my god, lose 257 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:25,040 Speaker 1: their minds because this was supposed to be America's Game 258 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,400 Speaker 1: of the Week, right, get the calls right, all that stuff. 259 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 1: Mahomes versus Hurts, a Super Bowl rematch for the ages 260 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 1: two time Super Bowl rematch. Instead, it's another mcmillion scandal, 261 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 1: is what it is for the Philadelphia football team. Some 262 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 1: shady business. Instead of stealing the McDonald's monopoly piece, one 263 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 1: of the great documentaries of all time, that mcmillion documentary 264 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 1: from a few years ago. But Nick Sirianni, Nick Sirianti, 265 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 1: the very pompous, arrogant, a hole coach of the Philadelphia Egos. 266 00:14:55,720 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 1: They're stealing first das by shoving Jalen Hurds, shoving his 267 00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:07,080 Speaker 1: Badonka Donk over the line to gain and so it's 268 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:09,560 Speaker 1: infuriating the many. That's the whole point of this. People 269 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 1: a very upset by this. And here's why. Because nobody, 270 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 1: nobody does it like Philadelphia. We've had these conversations the 271 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 1: last couple of years. This thing's been around for several years, 272 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:23,960 Speaker 1: and it's for the Eagles. It's going to Disneyland. It's 273 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,640 Speaker 1: the lightning it's the Lightning Lane. You got to pay 274 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:28,680 Speaker 1: a little extra for it. But you go to Pirates 275 00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 1: of the Caribbean, it's lined up around the block. It 276 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,760 Speaker 1: doesn't matter. Straight to the front of the line, right, 277 00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 1: go right to the front of the line. There. It 278 00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 1: works every single time. And the Eagles, they are the 279 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:44,160 Speaker 1: unstoppable locomotive. The unstoppable locomotive the Philadelphia Eagles. When they 280 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:47,360 Speaker 1: run that play, it's a freebie for Jalen hurts, and 281 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 1: it's shocking how often they have a third and one 282 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:55,880 Speaker 1: or a fourth and one right, and its wild. It's 283 00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 1: like trying to win the electoral college. They can't get 284 00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 1: an enough votes Roger Goodell in terms of they tried 285 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:04,400 Speaker 1: to get rid of it the last couple of years. 286 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 1: They came a few votes short. But the electoral college, 287 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:10,400 Speaker 1: too many teams are like, ah, we don't care, we 288 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:12,880 Speaker 1: don't want to get rid of it. And it's the 289 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 1: same old argument. The argument against the torch pushes. It's clear, 290 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:20,760 Speaker 1: it's unsafe, it's unfair, it's ruining the purity of the game. 291 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 1: It's the same argument back in the day. I've read 292 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 1: about in college basketball when for a few years in 293 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 1: the nineteen sixties they got rid of the slam dunk 294 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,000 Speaker 1: because a guy named Luel Sinder who would change his 295 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 1: name to Kareem Abdul Jabbar was a dunking and they 296 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:35,800 Speaker 1: had to get rid of it and all that stuff. 297 00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:39,960 Speaker 1: But the same exact argument, the same exact argument. It's 298 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:45,040 Speaker 1: a different decade years later, and the whining is extreme. 299 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:47,760 Speaker 1: So here's my take. My take is, don't ban it. 300 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,160 Speaker 1: Do I like the bottle, love to play, but I 301 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,600 Speaker 1: wouldn't ban the play just like I would. That's the 302 00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:55,680 Speaker 1: cowardly thing to do. That's what baseball does. That's what 303 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,760 Speaker 1: you don't want to be like baseball. Right, the shift, 304 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:02,200 Speaker 1: we got to ban the shift. No, you don't need 305 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:04,200 Speaker 1: to ban the shit, but they did because they're dumb. 306 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,520 Speaker 1: They're weak. Don't be dumb. Don't be weak. Don't be dumb. 307 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:08,520 Speaker 1: Don't be weak. That's what baseball is. Don't be that, 308 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 1: don't be that, don't do that. Don't do that. NFL 309 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:15,200 Speaker 1: so I wouldn't ban it, right, I'd copy it. And 310 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:18,880 Speaker 1: that's the thing. These teams are so stupid in the NFL. 311 00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:23,560 Speaker 1: The Eagles have spelled out an unstoppable play, and you're 312 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:27,160 Speaker 1: so you're so worried about your high yere David quarterback, 313 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:30,479 Speaker 1: you can't run the play. Seriously, like you look at 314 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:33,280 Speaker 1: the Andy Reid. Do the Chiefs ever run the Toush push? 315 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:37,080 Speaker 1: I don't see it. Kyle Shanahan and San Francisco, Sean 316 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:41,720 Speaker 1: McVay with the Rams, Dan Campbell run it yourself. You 317 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:46,480 Speaker 1: know no one can stop it. Right if everyone's doing it, 318 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:50,280 Speaker 1: if every team's doing a version of the Toush push, 319 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,719 Speaker 1: then it will not be an advantage anymore.

Was a 353 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:12,760 Speaker 1: not a very good game, and b we are being 354 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:17,640 Speaker 1: covered up by some of our affiliates for postgame coverage. 355 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:19,679 Speaker 1: Believe it or not, Who the hell wants to hear 356 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,720 Speaker 1: that crap? But anyway, so I'm gonna wait on that. 357 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:24,560 Speaker 1: I'm gonna wait on that till later. That's why we 358 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:26,640 Speaker 1: have the iHeartRadio apps. I could have if the game 359 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,639 Speaker 1: was good, I would have started with it very goods. 360 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:31,880 Speaker 1: Start with the good game. Why talk about the bad game. 361 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:33,480 Speaker 1: I'll talk about the good game. So that's what I'm 362 00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:36,240 Speaker 1: gonna do. So our lead this hour is from Houston. 363 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:41,560 Speaker 1: That was the undercard on the Monday night football double Edder. 364 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:46,560 Speaker 1: You had Baker Mayfield versus C. J. Stroud. Now, I 365 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:49,240 Speaker 1: don't know if you were watching this game or not. 366 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:53,439 Speaker 1: It was another full six hour, seven hour period with 367 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 1: football activity, and maybe you did not watch it. Our 368 00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:00,199 Speaker 1: old buddy TJ. Reeves and the Tampa Bay Buccantis the 369 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,639 Speaker 1: sidelines on the radio there for the Bucks. So the 370 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 1: Buccaneers and the Texans that to match up. Not a 371 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,680 Speaker 1: lot of wow factoring this. So we watched. Don't worry, 372 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 1: you did not have to watch. We watched so you 373 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:15,000 Speaker 1: would not have to watch. And the game came down 374 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:18,159 Speaker 1: to the bitter end. It was nail biting time. The 375 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:21,480 Speaker 1: Buccaneers got the ball, they were trailing. They needed a 376 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:26,119 Speaker 1: touchdown down by five, and Baker Mayfield he took his 377 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:30,680 Speaker 1: samurai sword and he worked his way, navigated his way 378 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:35,240 Speaker 1: down the field an eleven play eighty yard drive capped 379 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 1: off by a Rashad White two yard touchdown run with 380 00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:43,160 Speaker 1: just six seconds. That's it, six seconds to go, and 381 00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:48,879 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay said, turn out the last the parties over 382 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,000 Speaker 1: on the Texans who are oh and two and have 383 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 1: a chance to go owen seventeen. They have a chance 384 00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 1: to lose every game this year. Tampa Bay did go 385 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:01,160 Speaker 1: for two, they didn't get so they ended winning game 386 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:05,920 Speaker 1: twenty to nineteen. The final score. Baker Mayfield not a 387 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 1: sexy stat line. He only had two hundred fifteen yards passing, 388 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,600 Speaker 1: did have a couple of touchdowns. But the Buccaneers who 389 00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 1: also won in the final seconds thanks to the idiot 390 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,639 Speaker 1: kicker for the Atlanta Falcons in Week one. So the 391 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:21,200 Speaker 1: Buccaneers now off to the two and zero start, and 392 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:23,919 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield also had a couple of big plays with 393 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:27,200 Speaker 1: his legs fifteen yard scramble on a fourth and ten 394 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:31,040 Speaker 1: to keep the game winning drive alive and they end 395 00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:32,640 Speaker 1: up going on to win the game. But the better 396 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,560 Speaker 1: story is in the losing locker room. The Houston sections 397 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 1: are off to the zero to two start. Pee Yeah 398 00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:40,480 Speaker 1: what stack. So they had a five point lead. As 399 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 1: we said it was nineteen fourteen. Offense was lacking nineteen fourteen. 400 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,560 Speaker 1: They led because of they couldn't run the ball all 401 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:52,560 Speaker 1: night until the end of it when Nick Chubb Chubb 402 00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,160 Speaker 1: a love love the old Cleveland round. He sucks now, 403 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:57,919 Speaker 1: but he had a twenty five yard run and it 404 00:22:58,000 --> 00:22:59,480 Speaker 1: looked like he was gonna be the hero. There were 405 00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:03,520 Speaker 1: two ten to go in the game. Houston goes for too. CJ. Stroud, though, 406 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:06,520 Speaker 1: was sacked, and that was the theme of the night. 407 00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 1: Stroud through for just two hundred seven yards and a touchdown, 408 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:14,320 Speaker 1: and after the first couple of times Houston had the ball, 409 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:19,439 Speaker 1: it was downhill, way downhill, and failed to move the 410 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:23,600 Speaker 1: offense efficiently effectively. For the balance of the game. It 411 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:27,320 Speaker 1: was a snooze fest in the second half for the 412 00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:30,959 Speaker 1: Houston Texans, who have some questions that must be answered 413 00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:36,080 Speaker 1: now because that was not good. Now, I got no 414 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,240 Speaker 1: skin in the game on this, but that was not 415 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:42,320 Speaker 1: good at all. All right, Well, here's let's hear from CJ. Stroud, 416 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:46,360 Speaker 1: the Texans quarterback. Then we'll slice and dice mister Stroud. 417 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:50,040 Speaker 1: But here's c J. Stroud explaining that things offensively for 418 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:52,760 Speaker 1: Houston are not let's cut to by the way, things 419 00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:54,480 Speaker 1: are not going all that well. Take a listen. 420 00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:57,679 Speaker 5: I think right now we need more confidence as an offense, 421 00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:01,280 Speaker 5: at least just confide playing the better together. I think 422 00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:03,360 Speaker 5: that's a big thing. We're all we haven't played again 423 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:06,040 Speaker 5: a lot of us. So the more commonence that we build, 424 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:07,200 Speaker 5: I think the better that we'll be off. 425 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:09,919 Speaker 1: Okay, so that was a whole lot enough thing, So 426 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,840 Speaker 1: let us discuss the question. How are things looking for 427 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:18,159 Speaker 1: the Texans quarterback CJ. Stroud two games in to the 428 00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:21,600 Speaker 1: seventeen game season here in twenty twenty five. So my 429 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:25,959 Speaker 1: thoughts on this. I've got YouTube, kiddy table, and water supply, 430 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,760 Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together and 431 00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:32,760 Speaker 1: we are going to make some tex Mechs, which is 432 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 1: likely better than the Texans offense at this particular point. 433 00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,720 Speaker 1: They just put a container of text Mechs under center, 434 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,719 Speaker 1: and that would actually be better. But hey, listen, the 435 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:45,159 Speaker 1: Texans fans thought they were getting a bounce back season. 436 00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,919 Speaker 1: The assumption was, hey, we're getting a bounce back season year. CJ. 437 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:51,160 Speaker 1: Stroud was really good when he came into the NFL. 438 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:53,880 Speaker 1: Some said, well, beginner's luck, and then he fell off 439 00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:57,680 Speaker 1: a mountain, and of course I was the bad guy. 440 00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:00,600 Speaker 1: Not to make this all about me, but pointed out 441 00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 1: c J. Stroud not very good, and then I got 442 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,720 Speaker 1: a lot of crap from the seven Texans fans that 443 00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:08,280 Speaker 1: exist in the world. Well, you don't know what you're 444 00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 1: talking about. That's why you're doing overnights. Okay, Well let's 445 00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:13,159 Speaker 1: see what we've got right now. There's supposed to be 446 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,560 Speaker 1: a bounce back seaton. You told me, you told me 447 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:18,520 Speaker 1: bounce back season for CJ. Stroud. You told me that 448 00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:23,480 Speaker 1: two games in again good as a rookie, bad second 449 00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:26,560 Speaker 1: year player, c J. Stroud. So here we owe two 450 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:30,159 Speaker 1: games in year three and c J. Stroud does he 451 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:33,680 Speaker 1: not look a lot like Zach Wilson. That's not a compliment, 452 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 1: not a compliment. Based on what we have seen. We 453 00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:39,040 Speaker 1: have a show to do today, right we have showed 454 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,800 Speaker 1: it tonight overnight. But based on that what we have seen, 455 00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:47,680 Speaker 1: do you believe in CJ. Stroud? Do be honest, don't 456 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:52,359 Speaker 1: lie to me. He's gone from hotshot rookie to what's 457 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:56,040 Speaker 1: wrong with this guy? To now the invisible man? The 458 00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:59,960 Speaker 1: invisible man a pathetic performance much like he played again 459 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:02,480 Speaker 1: the Rams in the opener. Was bad in that game 460 00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,200 Speaker 1: and c J. Stroud, supposed to be the alpha dog 461 00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:10,200 Speaker 1: or alpha dog didn't look like it looked like a chihuahua. 462 00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:14,000 Speaker 1: A lot of yappin, you know, tack the mailman, all bark, 463 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:17,840 Speaker 1: no bite, lot a lot of that. And it's like 464 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:21,640 Speaker 1: a crypto stock, but not a good one. It's like, Hey, 465 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,440 Speaker 1: one of your friends convinces you buy some cryptos. I 466 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:25,720 Speaker 1: don't really want to do that. Well you need to 467 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,200 Speaker 1: buy ohky, I'll buy some. I got this great one, right, 468 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,560 Speaker 1: So you thought you were buying you through the texts, 469 00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:32,439 Speaker 1: you're like, well, we got some bitcoin, right, that's to 470 00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:38,240 Speaker 1: the moon. Instead you got doge coin. That's what you got. Congratulations. Yeah, 471 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:41,040 Speaker 1: Pump and dump, pump and dump. That's how it goes. 472 00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:44,200 Speaker 1: But a few of you knuckleheads, you know who you are. 473 00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:47,959 Speaker 1: And I'm not talking about mister irrigation because mister Irrigation's 474 00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:51,040 Speaker 1: already had enough of c J. Stroud based on some 475 00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:54,119 Speaker 1: comments that he posted on social media. But the other fanboys, 476 00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:58,160 Speaker 1: you'll give him time. It's not his fall. He doesn't 477 00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,560 Speaker 1: have a great offensive a line. I ain't give him 478 00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:05,200 Speaker 1: protection all that crap. Okay, so CJ. Stroud stinks, you're 479 00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:09,239 Speaker 1: telling me unless he has a great offensive line and 480 00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:13,080 Speaker 1: great playmakers and everything's perfect around him. Okay, then he's 481 00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:15,280 Speaker 1: not very good. You're admitting he's not very good, because 482 00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:18,680 Speaker 1: anyone will have success if they have a great offensive line. 483 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:20,679 Speaker 1: Anyone will have success if they have a great offensive 484 00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,879 Speaker 1: line and great playmakers and all that stuff. All right, 485 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 1: So Dimiko Ryans could spin this and say all he 486 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,440 Speaker 1: wants and the other people in Houston about it's not CJ. 487 00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:33,000 Speaker 1: Stroud's fault all this, and it's this guy dropped a 488 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:35,720 Speaker 1: pass or this guy didn't block, and it's all that. 489 00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:39,520 Speaker 1: But it's like the Irish rock band you two and 490 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:43,600 Speaker 1: their classic tune that's been over twenty years. Elevation, right, 491 00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:47,320 Speaker 1: you got to elevate the elite guys make it work. 492 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:49,399 Speaker 1: They find a way to make it work no matter what. 493 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:52,199 Speaker 1: They elevate those around him. That's the job description for 494 00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:54,360 Speaker 1: a top level corpack. Now, c J. Stroud, you say 495 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:58,800 Speaker 1: is average, Okay, he's average, fine, dim A doesn't average, average, 496 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,639 Speaker 1: not elite. Elite makes it work. And c J. Stroud 497 00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,720 Speaker 1: looks like he's floating on a on a dinghy out 498 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:09,200 Speaker 1: in the Gulf of Mexico, somewhere Golf of America. What 499 00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:12,320 Speaker 1: do you wanna call it? Two games in I don't 500 00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:16,160 Speaker 1: see a franchise quarterback. I don't see it. I see 501 00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 1: a jag if you want to call him that, right, 502 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:22,679 Speaker 1: just a guy and nothing spectacular. This keeps up. CJ. 503 00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:27,800 Speaker 1: Stroud's not leading Houston anywhere except back to the quarterback quandary. 504 00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:31,720 Speaker 1: And he'll get coaches fired, whether it's the head coach, 505 00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:35,320 Speaker 1: Demico Ryans or the offensive coaching staff, and they'll be 506 00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:37,199 Speaker 1: we got to fix this guy, so we got to 507 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:40,040 Speaker 1: change coaches. He'll be a coach killer. That's what happens. 508 00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:42,560 Speaker 1: You play like that, you get your coach fired. Somebody's 509 00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:45,240 Speaker 1: getting fired. Now speaking of the coach, well, we've got 510 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:50,640 Speaker 1: Demiko Ryans who is also feeling the wrath of c J. Stroud. 511 00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:53,920 Speaker 1: Here's a Demico Ryan's pointing out as far as this 512 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:55,920 Speaker 1: game on Monday, now, you well, when you have a 513 00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,440 Speaker 1: chance to finish things, you might want to do that. 514 00:28:58,520 --> 00:28:59,120 Speaker 1: Take a listen. 515 00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:01,040 Speaker 7: He let a good team like this stick around for 516 00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:01,600 Speaker 7: too long. 517 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:02,480 Speaker 1: It's what we did. 518 00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:05,520 Speaker 7: And they ended up making a play there Baker scrambling 519 00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:09,080 Speaker 7: going fourth down, which we knew that. That's who he is, 520 00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:11,480 Speaker 7: that's how he make the plays of scrambling. He made 521 00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:13,600 Speaker 7: a big time play on fourth and ten. You know, 522 00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:15,120 Speaker 7: we got to find a way to tackle and get 523 00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,800 Speaker 7: him down and stop him there. Even on the goal line, 524 00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:19,920 Speaker 7: we're in position to make a tackle. We got the 525 00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,680 Speaker 7: guy back and make a tackle to win the game. 526 00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:24,920 Speaker 7: That's what the game comes down to. We had multiple 527 00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:27,480 Speaker 7: opportunities to win that game, and we didn't make the 528 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:28,520 Speaker 7: plays we needed to make. 529 00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 1: So he didn't name anyone specifically. It was a more 530 00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:35,400 Speaker 1: of a collective suck than an individual suck, So he 531 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:39,680 Speaker 1: didn't name everybody. But here's the question, are there any positives? 532 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:44,240 Speaker 1: Are there any positives for Texans coach Demiko Ryans based 533 00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:47,000 Speaker 1: on the Monday night game now Houston, oh and too. 534 00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:51,240 Speaker 1: So I watched the entire game because I'm getting paid 535 00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:54,040 Speaker 1: to watch it, Otherwise I probably wouldn't. I did watch it, 536 00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:58,080 Speaker 1: and so I saw. Here's what I saw in terms 537 00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:05,560 Speaker 1: of positive oh na a zilch none bumpkis That's what 538 00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:09,080 Speaker 1: I saw, all right. I can't find one positive from 539 00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:12,520 Speaker 1: the game itself. I cannot do it, not one positivet Jmiico. 540 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:16,280 Speaker 1: Ryans was brought in as a defensive mastermind. Check right 541 00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:20,840 Speaker 1: came over from the forty nine ers, and that's his calling. Card. 542 00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:24,160 Speaker 1: That's what he's known for, meat and potatoes all that. 543 00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:29,200 Speaker 1: And this game came down to what came down to defense. 544 00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:33,080 Speaker 1: Came down to defense. Texans had a five point lead. 545 00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:35,120 Speaker 1: The other team has to score a touchdown to beat you. 546 00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:39,760 Speaker 1: All you need is a defensive stand. And the Texans 547 00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:42,520 Speaker 1: defense did they make the plays? Obviously not. They lost 548 00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:46,480 Speaker 1: the game game on the line Tampa matriculating the ball 549 00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:50,960 Speaker 1: down the field. And that Texans defense melting faster than 550 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:55,880 Speaker 1: a KitKat that you leave on your dashboard in August. 551 00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:58,160 Speaker 1: You ever done that or September for that missed a 552 00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:02,640 Speaker 1: lot here, right, I don't know. The KitKat gets all gooy. 553 00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:06,160 Speaker 1: It kind of folds thee. To me, that melts more 554 00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:09,200 Speaker 1: than any of Some people say Hershey's bar, that that melts. 555 00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:11,160 Speaker 1: But to me, it's the kit cat like that. I've 556 00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:14,360 Speaker 1: always had bad experiences with melted kitcat. And that was 557 00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:18,160 Speaker 1: the Texans defense. Late in the game. You're at home, 558 00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:21,520 Speaker 1: you're a slight favorite. You lost week one, so you 559 00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:26,960 Speaker 1: got to come back here and you gag demoralizing capital 560 00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:29,640 Speaker 1: D for the Houston Texans there and if you're the 561 00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:33,760 Speaker 1: defensive guru, Dimiko Ryans, as he said, you got to 562 00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:36,400 Speaker 1: finish the game. I'm not attacking. And also he says 563 00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:38,479 Speaker 1: his own words, you got to finish the game. And 564 00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:42,880 Speaker 1: instead they allowed Baker Mayfield to convert on that fourth 565 00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:47,400 Speaker 1: and ten and essentially Baker punked them, which is embarrassing 566 00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:50,400 Speaker 1: for the Texans defense, which I played pretty well. Now 567 00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:53,200 Speaker 1: there is a twisted silver lining, So I will be 568 00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:56,000 Speaker 1: Benny Bright's side. I am going to be Benny bright 569 00:31:56,080 --> 00:32:01,760 Speaker 1: side on this one because pee, yeah, what stinks? That 570 00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:05,440 Speaker 1: would be the division the Texans find themselves in. So 571 00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:10,120 Speaker 1: despite being owing to, the good thing about sitting at 572 00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:13,040 Speaker 1: the kiddy table in the NFL, when you're owing to, 573 00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:18,760 Speaker 1: you're still very much alive. The division stinks. Jacksonville for Gayzy, right, 574 00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:21,040 Speaker 1: they got the coach and the quarterback fighting with each other. 575 00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:26,440 Speaker 1: More on that later, Tennessee stump bums. I don't know, 576 00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:29,920 Speaker 1: they're not even trying. It's just a developmental year and 577 00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:31,600 Speaker 1: maybe by the end of the year, cam Ward will 578 00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:33,520 Speaker 1: know what he's doing and they'll find a couple offensive 579 00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:36,360 Speaker 1: linemen and that's it. They'll get another top ten pick. 580 00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:41,240 Speaker 1: And then you have the Colts, which right now look amazing. Right, 581 00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:44,200 Speaker 1: they got Daniel Jones out there two weeks in a row, 582 00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:47,920 Speaker 1: painting the Mona Lisa. Haven't punted yet in the NFL 583 00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:50,960 Speaker 1: this season. The Indianapolis Colts, so that's pretty good. I'm 584 00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:52,719 Speaker 1: told didn't play, so I don't know if I can 585 00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:54,520 Speaker 1: comment on that. I'll have to check with Ryan Clark. 586 00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:56,880 Speaker 1: But give them a month. I give them a month, 587 00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:59,680 Speaker 1: Give the Colts a month there, and then that masterpiece 588 00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:06,040 Speaker 1: me is see we have this conversation by late October 589 00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:13,160 Speaker 1: about Halloween. The masterpiece will turn into a Denny's kids menu. 590 00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:15,680 Speaker 1: You know how they give you the crayons and then 591 00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:17,960 Speaker 1: the kids draw on the crayon. Yeah, like that and 592 00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,320 Speaker 1: then with ketchup on it. That's what it's going to 593 00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:25,000 Speaker 1: look like. And so as much as the Texans are 594 00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:27,400 Speaker 1: in a bad spot right now and they are the 595 00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:30,000 Speaker 1: Redheaded step Show, and that's always like the most embarrassing 596 00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:32,760 Speaker 1: division for the NFL because that team that wins that 597 00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:35,800 Speaker 1: division has to play the first that early Saturday window 598 00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:38,840 Speaker 1: on wild Card weekend where they It's like in the NBA, 599 00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:41,160 Speaker 1: if the Toronto Raptors ever make the playoffsy always put 600 00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:43,040 Speaker 1: them in that early window because they want to hide 601 00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:45,920 Speaker 1: the team. They're kind of embarrassed about. They're shamed by 602 00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:49,120 Speaker 1: the team that's whoever wins that AFC South Division. The 603 00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:52,000 Speaker 1: Texas though still mathematically very much alive because the culture 604 00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:54,160 Speaker 1: gonna lose plenty of games and all that stuff, and 605 00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:57,720 Speaker 1: one of these bad News Bears franchises is going to 606 00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:00,400 Speaker 1: make the playoffs and they'll be cannon fodder for one 607 00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:02,760 Speaker 1: of the better teams to play by then you know, 608 00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:08,000 Speaker 1: somebody's backing into January, into the postseason, whether they deserve 609 00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:10,040 Speaker 1: it or not. So there's still That's why I will 610 00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:12,480 Speaker 1: be Benny Brightside in that regard. Now the Detexans look 611 00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:14,319 Speaker 1: like they're a playoff team, of course not. They're zeroing 612 00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:17,919 Speaker 1: to and the offense looks completely limp. At this point, 613 00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:19,719 Speaker 1: we do have advertisers will help you out on that, 614 00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:24,360 Speaker 1: and so listen, congratulations though because of location, location, location, 615 00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:27,720 Speaker 1: the GPS, the zip code, all that stuff, you're still 616 00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:30,200 Speaker 1: still okay. All right, now, last word, we go to 617 00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:34,560 Speaker 1: the other side to Tampa Bay where the Buccaneers, the 618 00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:37,239 Speaker 1: cardiac kids off to the two and on start now 619 00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:40,759 Speaker 1: as they get it done again. Another gutty performance by 620 00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:45,680 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield, who appears to have that junkyard dog in 621 00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:49,360 Speaker 1: him as opposed to the other kind of dog. Yeah, 622 00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:52,520 Speaker 1: and lay in the game down the stretch. Baker Mayfield, 623 00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:55,839 Speaker 1: he looked like he was in aerobics class, out there 624 00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:59,960 Speaker 1: huffing and puffing and bouncing around off defenders, sometimes getting 625 00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:03,040 Speaker 1: stomped on by defenders, sweating it out like he's on 626 00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:05,200 Speaker 1: a StairMaster at a jam at three in the morning 627 00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:10,400 Speaker 1: doing all that, and and somehow, in some way he 628 00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:13,200 Speaker 1: drags Tampa across the finish line with the help of 629 00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:18,359 Speaker 1: his friends. So what stands out about Baker Mayfield's late 630 00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:23,719 Speaker 1: game heroics for the Buccaneers the Tampa Bay football team? 631 00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:27,200 Speaker 1: So I continue to be missing when Baker got to Tampa, 632 00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:28,520 Speaker 1: I was like, Oh, this is good, but it's not 633 00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:30,520 Speaker 1: gonna last. And here we are. How many years he's 634 00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:32,560 Speaker 1: been there? A couple of years now, three years? He's 635 00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:37,160 Speaker 1: still going. And so what stands out about Baker Mayfield 636 00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:39,920 Speaker 1: is the fact he's like the NFL's Robert Downey Junior 637 00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:45,440 Speaker 1: left for dead after Cleveland and that experience. He was 638 00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:49,680 Speaker 1: so bad in Cleveland. Baker Mayfield's dad was used at 639 00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:53,439 Speaker 1: by Baker or Odell Beckham's dad rather, was used by 640 00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:58,239 Speaker 1: the kid to get messages out on social media so 641 00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:00,680 Speaker 1: he could get away from Baker Mayfield. Beckham wanted to 642 00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:05,359 Speaker 1: get away from Baker Mayfield. He went to Carolina Garbage, 643 00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:07,680 Speaker 1: went to the Rams, had like a one night stand 644 00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:10,839 Speaker 1: with the Rams. And now he's found himself and he's 645 00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:14,640 Speaker 1: iron Man in Tampa Bay. Baker Mayfield's Robert Downey Junior's 646 00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:18,000 Speaker 1: iron Man, and he's building a suit out of scraps 647 00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:21,319 Speaker 1: in a cave somewhere and it's going pretty well. It's 648 00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:24,440 Speaker 1: going pretty well. And that's Baker Mayfield in a buccaneer 649 00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:27,919 Speaker 1: uniform at this particular point, supposed to be at this time, 650 00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:30,560 Speaker 1: you'd say, based on what he did in Cleveland and Carolina, 651 00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:33,680 Speaker 1: you'd say it by this time, Baker Mayfield should have 652 00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:36,760 Speaker 1: been put on the cast of Dancing with the Stars 653 00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:41,080 Speaker 1: and doing a bad podcast like every other hack Jock 654 00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:45,759 Speaker 1: does and washed up Jock. But instead instead he's out 655 00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:48,759 Speaker 1: there beating a team that was in the playoffs in 656 00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:51,080 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter making plays. And so I would say, 657 00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:54,280 Speaker 1: check the water supplies what I would say, because Ponce 658 00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:58,200 Speaker 1: dellly owns Fountain of Youth there in Tampa. I remember 659 00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:01,200 Speaker 1: Tom Brady when he went to Tampa Tom Brady. We 660 00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:04,480 Speaker 1: thought he was toast, he was done in New England, 661 00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:09,000 Speaker 1: and then suddenly he's chugging the avocado tequila and winning 662 00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:12,840 Speaker 1: a super Bowl in Tampa.

However, he 666 00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:23,640 Speaker 1: has reinvented himself, and the reinvention vibe very similar. There 667 00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:26,480 Speaker 1: continues to be the you thought I was washed.
