Not productive at all. I mean for 55 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 1: us in the NFL, that was the culture. Would always 56 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,799 Speaker 1: have you practice in the morning so that you can 57 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 1: spend thanks to giving what your family.

You won't watch the practice film 59 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 1: of practice today, You'll do that tomorrow and so that 60 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 1: that's why you kind of get out of there early. 61 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 1: So tomorrow will be a little longer than normal. Because Friday, 62 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 1: if you play on Sunday as normally you get out 63 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 1: fairly early, but not tomorrow because although he's giving you 64 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,080 Speaker 1: a break today, you're gonna make it up tomorrow.

Take away 113 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 1: from sports being extremely fun, like it's so fun to play. Yes, 114 00:05:55,520 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 1: the lessons that you learn that you don't realize, learning 115 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 1: the way you communicate with people that come from so 116 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 1: many different backgrounds, so different than you. I mean, it 117 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:13,919 Speaker 1: teaches you so many lessons, how to fight through adversity, 118 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,360 Speaker 1: how to handle your wins, your loss is set back. 119 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,279 Speaker 1: There's just so many things you learn from sports that 120 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 1: it's the best. It's nothing like it, nothing like it, 121 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 1: nothing like it at all. Let's let's get to it. 122 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 1: One of the stories today, which is Lebron James goes 123 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 1: off last night, plays really well, no, Anthony Davis. They 124 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,720 Speaker 1: come from behind force overtime where actually they had to 125 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 1: lead and Indie forced overtime. Indie's just gotten healthy and 126 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:42,200 Speaker 1: they're player playing much better of late goes. Over time, 127 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 1: Lebron ends up with thirty nine points and kind of 128 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,039 Speaker 1: wins the game, seeminglarly on his own in terms of 129 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,360 Speaker 1: his own scoring. But the one of at least one 130 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 1: of the stories with Lebron is going to be that 131 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 1: he had a fan ejected now at thirty nine, five rebounds, 132 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 1: six assists, and the outscore of the Pacers twelve to 133 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 1: four in overtime. But the big question is um why 134 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,360 Speaker 1: Lebron had two fans rude? Because if you if you've 135 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 1: seen the highlights by now, it wasn't like, hey I 136 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 1: heard something over here was him and her they're out, 137 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 1: here's Lebron after the game, Lebron, what can you share 138 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 1: about that interaction with the fan, what they did or 139 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 1: what was uncomfortable for you? I mean, nothing is uncomfortable 140 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 1: for me, but you know, it's a difference between cheering 141 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 1: on your your your home, faithful, you know, buoying opponents 142 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 1: and things of that nature, or not one of your 143 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 1: opponents to be successful. And then there's you know, moments 144 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 1: where he goes outside the line. What I've seen gestures 145 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:50,760 Speaker 1: and words, and that shouldn't be tolerating our game from nobody. Um, 146 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 1: I would never say it to a fan, and a 147 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 1: fan should never say it to a player. So that's it. Okay, 148 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 1: So question you share about so TJ now that you've 149 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 1: heard Lebron's response, which is he didn't want to share 150 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 1: the magic words. And my case for Lebron is threefold, right, Like, look, 151 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 1: to me, this completely de escalates without having to be 152 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 1: like you don't have to be confrontation. You just go 153 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 1: him and her out and if you look at the ticket, 154 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 1: they have the right to kick you out anytime you want. 155 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 1: I think it's a good deterrent for other fans. I 156 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 1: think it's I honestly think, as a guy who's as 157 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 1: respected as anyone who's ever played in the league, like, 158 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 1: it's a good like, Hey, dude, don't need to get 159 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 1: into it with these people. If you if something gets 160 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,679 Speaker 1: the level of being over the line, just kick him 161 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 1: out and let's move on. Le plus play ball. So I. 162 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 1: But but here's the biggest thing. When he pointed to 163 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 1: the dude and the woman, and the woman they both 164 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,439 Speaker 1: had like matching leather jackets or whatever you could tell 165 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 1: they were together if you ever get to that point 166 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:55,679 Speaker 1: where matching shoot me. But they didn't put up a fight. 167 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:57,840 Speaker 1: They weren't pointing the no, no, no no one me, what 168 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 1: are you talking? They didn't do the hands palms towards 169 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,199 Speaker 1: this guy, like what are you talking about? They were 170 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 1: just like, yeah, you got us, Sorry, put under jacket, 171 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,960 Speaker 1: walked out. Okay, So now you've heard the sound, you've 172 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,719 Speaker 1: heard my case. Do you support Lebron James kicking these 173 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:17,679 Speaker 1: people out? I really I need to know what was said, 174 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:26,200 Speaker 1: Like fans are fans of their team. What could they 175 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 1: have said that set em off to where the other 176 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,679 Speaker 1: fans and say, hey guys, you guys might want to 177 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 1: chill out, Like chill out? What? Why are you? Why 178 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 1: are you saying this? And so I just won? How 179 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:44,680 Speaker 1: much did they paid for those tickets? Two? They did 180 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:48,079 Speaker 1: pretty much see the majority of the game. I just 181 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:52,840 Speaker 1: would like to know what was said. But Lebron doesn't. 182 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,160 Speaker 1: We haven't seen this happen where a player literally just 183 00:09:56,320 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 1: I want these two and so whatever they said, really 184 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 1: League got under his skin. It really bothered him to 185 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,840 Speaker 1: the point where he was like, I'm not dealing with 186 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 1: this any longer. Can these people be ejected, and so 187 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:15,080 Speaker 1: for that matter, I do agree with it, but I 188 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 1: would like to know what was said, because as a fan, 189 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 1: you're chairing for your team, you're gonna say, number one, 190 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:30,560 Speaker 1: you think they had a couple of adult beverages, or 191 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 1: maybe more than a couple, and so that that messed 192 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,560 Speaker 1: their judgment up, and they say certain things that they 193 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,080 Speaker 1: shouldn't have said. And so that's why I would like 194 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,199 Speaker 1: to know, because you don't want to start sitting a 195 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 1: precedent that if a fan is going at you chairing 196 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 1: on their team and it may go overboard, are they 197 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 1: gonna get kicked out? Are they not supposed to say 198 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,840 Speaker 1: anything to the player. If that's the case, let's move 199 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 1: these seats back a little further so they don't have 200 00:10:56,280 --> 00:11:00,160 Speaker 1: that access where they're really up on the players that way. 201 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,960 Speaker 1: And so I think that's unique about the NBA is 202 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 1: the fans are so close to the players. I'll look 203 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 1: and that's that's part of the sale, right, And that's 204 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:12,200 Speaker 1: what makes them up a lot of money, is that 205 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 1: you can see them. And there are some some uh 206 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,199 Speaker 1: some Twitter Twitter speculation that it was about it was 207 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:23,080 Speaker 1: about Brawnie whatever. But here here's the deal. Okay, fans. 208 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 1: I get that they're fanatics. I get that they pay 209 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 1: a lot of money, But there are a lot of 210 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 1: people that go to a game. If you sit in 211 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:30,719 Speaker 1: the stands, you're like, I cannot believe the things that 212 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,320 Speaker 1: you're saying. I just I can't say it to like, 213 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,320 Speaker 1: you know, we've seen the fight videos, Like what is 214 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,680 Speaker 1: the You're like, what does the matter with people? You know? 215 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 1: I remember I've done games. Last year we had a 216 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 1: broadcast I did the Big Ten tournament. We had a 217 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 1: broadcast from like, you're like up, You're not on the 218 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,720 Speaker 1: court level, so you're up. We're up, like it was 219 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 1: in the new Indie Dome whatever that I can't remember 220 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,160 Speaker 1: what that's called. And you're like up basically in and 221 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,440 Speaker 1: amongst the fans, and you'll have people yelling out things. 222 00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,720 Speaker 1: You're like, what are you doing? Why would how would 223 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:02,839 Speaker 1: you ever? And there's people around and they're kind of 224 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 1: uncomfortable too, But you just I understand what you're saying. DJ. 225 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 1: I'm just telling you, Like, there's a Bill Burr is 226 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,960 Speaker 1: a great comedian, right, he has that he has He 227 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,720 Speaker 1: had the bit about the mouths of the Palace and 228 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 1: the idea of the bit was, hey, how many years 229 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:20,440 Speaker 1: did you heard guys go like come up here? Why 230 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,240 Speaker 1: don't you come up here? Well, Ron Artests came up 231 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 1: there and knocked out an entire row of people with 232 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 1: one punch, right, Like fans on some level have it 233 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 1: coming right and like I just I get it, like 234 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,680 Speaker 1: you hear something like you know what, I'm just I'm done. 235 00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 1: Do I think Lebron is super sensitive? Yeah? But dan 236 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 1: do I think the idea of like you can't talk 237 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,959 Speaker 1: about my family and if you know duck Lebron has 238 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 1: been getting getting this his entire career doesn't make it 239 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,560 Speaker 1: because he's been the man. And so that's why I'm saying, like, 240 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,920 Speaker 1: is it is he's getting older, He's going to tolerate 241 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:55,440 Speaker 1: less because I mean Ron Artests, he he was stuff 242 00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 1: was thrown on him. Is as Lebron has played so 243 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:03,000 Speaker 1: many years as his patience, I'm tired, I'm not dealing 244 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 1: with this anymore, or that they really overstepped their boundaries. 245 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 1: I think that I think he's that he got he's 246 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,240 Speaker 1: gotten older, and I think it's that he's seen it 247 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,320 Speaker 1: probably crank up. I think, Look, I think the Russell 248 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 1: thing puts everybody kind of on edge a little bit. 249 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 1: Plus you're coming off that Detroit thing. I think it's 250 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 1: like kind of all factored in, and people just you know, 251 00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:26,439 Speaker 1: they have a couple of SIPs of beer, they're sitting 252 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,319 Speaker 1: real close. They think they can yell anything to you. 253 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:33,600 Speaker 1: My deal is if they didn't say anything wrong. If 254 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 1: I paid a grand for a ticket to see Lebron James, 255 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,079 Speaker 1: I don't care if there's five seconds left to go 256 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:41,960 Speaker 1: whatever and somebody comes and says, kick me out, like yo, 257 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:43,560 Speaker 1: I didn't say anything wrong. I would have put up 258 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:48,080 Speaker 1: a major fight. Tickets costs in Indy. How much you 259 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:52,440 Speaker 1: think they cost? They are not cheap, James. The one 260 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 1: time he yeah more than that about that was mid 261 00:13:56,160 --> 00:14:00,240 Speaker 1: That was like mid court. Feet on the wood rights, 262 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 1: Like my buddies the pump say, like it ain't on 263 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 1: the wood, It ain't no good right feet on the 264 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 1: wood that those are? Yeah, you're paying. You're definitely paying 265 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,440 Speaker 1: at least four figures for each seat to sit there. 266 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:16,040 Speaker 1: My guess is um not probably mid four figures, right, 267 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,200 Speaker 1: Like you're over over a thousand and maybe over two 268 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:21,400 Speaker 1: thousand bucks. That will be a warning to all as 269 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:23,080 Speaker 1: you wouldn't say if it ain't on the wood, it 270 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:26,680 Speaker 1: ain't no good. Shut your mouth. Enjoyed the game, Um, 271 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 1: just watch what you say, just watch what you say. 272 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,120 Speaker 1: But I don't want to take away from me. I 273 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:35,240 Speaker 1: enjoyed it when I could go back and forth with 274 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,760 Speaker 1: a fan. It just made it fun. I mean, when 275 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 1: you lost, it's like when you win, it's like, yeah, 276 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 1: but you almost I almost. I actually do feel a 277 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 1: little bit of sympathy for Lebron because if he doesn't 278 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 1: say anything, you just got to sit there and take it. 279 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:49,440 Speaker 1: But if he does say a thing, and like that's 280 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 1: his right to just go hey you and you out. 281 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 1: I like that a lot better than Russell. Russell's confrontation 282 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 1: with dudes, right that that is not going to end well, 283 00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,680 Speaker 1: Like there's just no there's no reason, like you have 284 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 1: the pa our just goodbye and and it's a good, 285 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,960 Speaker 1: good one. Okay, what about the team? Do you like this? 286 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:10,160 Speaker 1: The Lakers as they're currently comprised. Man, I don't like 287 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 1: the way we're playing, Doug Man, It's just god, it's 288 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 1: we're not playing good. We're not playing good defensively, we 289 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:24,000 Speaker 1: don't we don't help the helper. Guys will get a 290 00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 1: jump it'll be a guy right there and you can 291 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,640 Speaker 1: just contest a shot even though he's not your guy. 292 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 1: We kind of just sit and watch. We don't box out. 293 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:36,200 Speaker 1: The offense doesn't flow the way it should when Lebron 294 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 1: isn't playing. When Russ is playing, well we're good. But 295 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:44,040 Speaker 1: when he's not and Lebron isn't playing, it's a d's 296 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 1: gonna settle for jump shots. And if we're hidden, jump 297 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,680 Speaker 1: shots were good, but we're not really going to the whole. 298 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,880 Speaker 1: Like I watch when we play Milwaukee, I was just 299 00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,640 Speaker 1: like a D. You can do everything that Yannis does, 300 00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:59,080 Speaker 1: go do this, but he doesn't have a mentality that 301 00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:02,520 Speaker 1: Jannis has than had that dog inning that Jannis has. 302 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 1: And so we have a long ways to go. We 303 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 1: gotta get better defensively. Offense is going to come and go. 304 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 1: Defense needs to be constant. You know, there's a couple 305 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 1: of things there. First, it should be pointed out to 306 00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 1: people who go, like, see, Lebron is still the best 307 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:20,760 Speaker 1: player in the league, Like, have you seen what Jannis 308 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:24,280 Speaker 1: has been doing all season long? Right Like Lebron was 309 00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 1: great last night, Jannis has basically been doing that the 310 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 1: entire season, and the guy is it's it's your level 311 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:33,200 Speaker 1: of consistency when you're able to be the best player 312 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 1: in the league. And Jannis and KD have been more 313 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,360 Speaker 1: more consistent. Obviously, they've been out there more as well. 314 00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:41,080 Speaker 1: Now in terms of Lakers like look, I don't know 315 00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:44,280 Speaker 1: how much more clear it can be to people who 316 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:47,360 Speaker 1: are watching, But you got rid of your two best 317 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:52,520 Speaker 1: perimeter defenders right one's playing, got KCP turned in. They 318 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 1: made KCP into a dog defensively, he became a very 319 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 1: good and then Alex Crusoe. And no matter how hard 320 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 1: it looks like Russell Westbrook plays, he's not a great 321 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,440 Speaker 1: defensive player. He takes lots of plays off though he 322 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:07,680 Speaker 1: had and he's he's just not a spring chicken. He's 323 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,159 Speaker 1: at four knee surgery. Not that not that guy, nor 324 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:13,600 Speaker 1: has he ever been as consistently good defensively. But but 325 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:16,480 Speaker 1: and and look, the Lakers aren't on whole. You know, 326 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:18,960 Speaker 1: you don't have a Resa. You've had you've had some 327 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,600 Speaker 1: you know, you've had injuries as well to some of 328 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:23,680 Speaker 1: your bench players, and you haven't had Lebron. I think 329 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 1: they'll be better offensively, but I think defensively unless they 330 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 1: add a piece or two I don't see how they 331 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:34,600 Speaker 1: guard better on the perimeter. Lebron's not that guy anymore. 332 00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:36,840 Speaker 1: I think a reason they think is going to be 333 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 1: the defender he was a decade ago, he's not. And 334 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:44,119 Speaker 1: the options that they have like a Russell Westbrook and 335 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:47,800 Speaker 1: a Maligue Monk and others. While they're good players and 336 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 1: maybe better offensively than Crusoe, that they you lose that 337 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,920 Speaker 1: it completely changes your identity. And that's where they're going 338 00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,199 Speaker 1: through trying to figure out what they are because when 339 00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:58,840 Speaker 1: they won a championship two years ago, they were a 340 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:00,800 Speaker 1: defensive menace. Now they got to be more of an 341 00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:06,200 Speaker 1: offensive team to beat you. We and also you got 342 00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:11,480 Speaker 1: DeAndre Jordan, you got Dwight Howard in the middle. It clogs, 343 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:15,399 Speaker 1: it clogs up the hall and the paint. We just 344 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:19,240 Speaker 1: got to figure out who we are. When when you 345 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:22,720 Speaker 1: look at the teams that are good, hearing that it's 346 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:26,320 Speaker 1: the defense jump shots who were making them were the 347 00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,480 Speaker 1: best team. And when we're not, it's like we have 348 00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:35,240 Speaker 1: to play defense. Like when Carmelo's on. Offensively, we're hard 349 00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:39,080 Speaker 1: to beat, but it's the defense. Like we're about twenty 350 00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:44,600 Speaker 1: some points against Oklahoma City lose, that's defense. Those those 351 00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:46,280 Speaker 1: are the type of games that come back and hunt 352 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,040 Speaker 1: you when you lose the teams early in the season 353 00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:51,359 Speaker 1: that you should beat, and now you're playing in the 354 00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:53,879 Speaker 1: playing game when you shouldn't have to play in the 355 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 1: playing game as you won those games you're supposed to win. 356 00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:00,919 Speaker 1: And so this defense and freak vocal is a defensive coach. 357 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,439 Speaker 1: We gotta get it together. TJ. Herisman's out and joining me. 358 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:06,960 Speaker 1: Plexico Burst is going to join us. Upcoming in about 359 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:10,240 Speaker 1: fifteen minutes. Kay was some starwide receiver talk. But coming 360 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 1: up next Mike Rabel. Mike Rabel acknowledges some similarities between 361 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:19,080 Speaker 1: a team he played on and a team he's seeing. 362 00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,440 Speaker 1: And it's gonna see this week in the NFL.

Tjsman's out of Doug Gottlieban 368 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,360 Speaker 1: for Dan and the Danets, and The Dan Patrick Show 369 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:47,240 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio brought to you by Mercedes Benz The 370 00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 1: Best or Nothing. The Titans play the Patriots this weekend. 371 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,840 Speaker 1: Titans are weird, weird year, right, Obviously, lose Derrick Henry, 372 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:56,960 Speaker 1: You're not gonna be the same. But four picks for 373 00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:00,040 Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill. But to beat the teams they beat and 374 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:04,840 Speaker 1: then to lose to the Jets and the Texans, is 375 00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:07,840 Speaker 1: I mean that that's some rarefied air right there. But anyway, 376 00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 1: Brady's taken on the Patriots, his old team that he 377 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,280 Speaker 1: played for, and he said this quote, I think there 378 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:17,719 Speaker 1: are similarities this between the Patriots team this year and 379 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:21,080 Speaker 1: the two thousand and one Patriots team that won the 380 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Obviously, there's a lot of history there with 381 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,680 Speaker 1: one particular quarterback, Tom Brady, and I think you're starting 382 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:28,639 Speaker 1: to see some of those plays start to look like 383 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:30,920 Speaker 1: they looked in the past. Max dide a nice job 384 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 1: of executing, proving, proving what it is they want him 385 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,640 Speaker 1: to do. It's what they're asking to do. I'd say 386 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,440 Speaker 1: he has a strong grasp of what they're doing. Now. 387 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:47,480 Speaker 1: If I remember TJ when you were a rookie with 388 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,440 Speaker 1: the Bengals, you guys played against the Pats, but Bledsoe 389 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:54,400 Speaker 1: was still the quarterback, right, we won? No, no, no, no, 390 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:59,639 Speaker 1: bledso No I believe Brady was a quarterback. Brady Brady 391 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:05,560 Speaker 1: came in to start. Brady came in after it was 392 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:09,760 Speaker 1: the week after it was week no. But remember you 393 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,159 Speaker 1: forget that they had September eleventh, and then it was 394 00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,520 Speaker 1: shut down. I know this because this is a true story, 395 00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,200 Speaker 1: and I want your true story in a second. So 396 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:25,600 Speaker 1: my first gig hosting a national radio show was that Sunday. Okay, 397 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,480 Speaker 1: so I want you to picture this. I'm in Oklahoma City. 398 00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:31,120 Speaker 1: I'm still playing guy. I played a year in Rush. 399 00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:33,879 Speaker 1: I come back. I'm doing local radio in Oklahoma City, 400 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:37,040 Speaker 1: just to pay some bills and uh and a buddy mine. 401 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:40,480 Speaker 1: Jim Traber is the he's the color analyst for the Diamondbacks, 402 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,399 Speaker 1: so he's Diamondbacks for good. So I was filling in 403 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 1: for him while he's gone waiting for an overseas gig. 404 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:49,480 Speaker 1: Then September then nine to eleven happens, and so everything 405 00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:52,560 Speaker 1: you know, usually you leave to go play overseason September 406 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:54,960 Speaker 1: and go in training. Everything got pushed back like a 407 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,520 Speaker 1: month month and a half. So that next weekend, if 408 00:21:57,520 --> 00:21:59,879 Speaker 1: you remember, everything was shut down, no games, no no. 409 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,960 Speaker 1: And then the following weekend we had games well, ESPN 410 00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:07,159 Speaker 1: Radio wanted to bring everybody into Bristol do the shows, 411 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,320 Speaker 1: and the Overnight show, which I was a guest on 412 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,480 Speaker 1: when I was a player, was called Todd right all night. 413 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:15,040 Speaker 1: And Todd didn't want to get on a plane, didn't 414 00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:16,840 Speaker 1: want to whatever. I don't know, he was off that 415 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,920 Speaker 1: weekend or whatever. So they flew me in. I flew 416 00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:23,960 Speaker 1: through Cincinnati from Oklahoma City Cincinnati. There were three I 417 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:27,080 Speaker 1: thought I saw three other travelers in the airport. The 418 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 1: rest were all National Guard with with dogs or National 419 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:34,439 Speaker 1: Guard with machine guns. Land go to Bristol and then 420 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:36,280 Speaker 1: I gotta watch football games. So I go to a 421 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:41,400 Speaker 1: place called Sliders where you get wings places packed. Bledsoe 422 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,399 Speaker 1: gets hit trying to go out of bounds, right, Mo, 423 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:52,399 Speaker 1: who hit a Mo Collins? No, not m'collins. It was 424 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:55,960 Speaker 1: a linebacker for the Jets, but it wasn't Mocollins. I'll 425 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,280 Speaker 1: think of it in a second. Anyway, he hits Bledsoe. 426 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:03,440 Speaker 1: I go on the air t Jay Mo Lewis mowis yes, 427 00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:05,680 Speaker 1: and Bledsoe was like it was one of those where 428 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:07,360 Speaker 1: he was getting out of bounds, like, dude, you gotta 429 00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 1: get out of bounds quick and he kind of let 430 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:10,960 Speaker 1: up before he got out of bounds, and I mean 431 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,920 Speaker 1: he got he got hit so hard as dog probably 432 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 1: got hurt. Right, So in goes Brady and I'm the 433 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:20,280 Speaker 1: idiot on national radio, first ever radio show. Everyone. I 434 00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:22,080 Speaker 1: was like, Wow, the Pats are you can cross them off. 435 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,399 Speaker 1: They're done this year. Right. Turns out that was that 436 00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:28,320 Speaker 1: was a bit wrong. Um, anyway, go ahead, tell me 437 00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:34,880 Speaker 1: your Patriots story of that season. It was when when 438 00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 1: you played the Patriots. Obviously they when we played them 439 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:42,119 Speaker 1: two thousand and one, number one. I was inactive and 440 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:45,760 Speaker 1: so you don't really put too much stock in it. 441 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:51,239 Speaker 1: Obviously it's my first NFL game, so you excited. Then 442 00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 1: when you realize you're inactive, you really don't know how 443 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:57,119 Speaker 1: to enact as inactives work. You just assume you're on 444 00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:59,640 Speaker 1: the team. You're gonna suit up and then you're going 445 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 1: to your locker room until you're go into the locker room, 446 00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:04,960 Speaker 1: into your locker and you're like, wait, we don't handle 447 00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:08,560 Speaker 1: jersey on my shoulder pants. You don't. You don't really 448 00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:13,400 Speaker 1: understand that you're not suiting up, and so it's like 449 00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 1: they have to because you practice all week. And so 450 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:20,400 Speaker 1: that was the first you just didn't understand the active 451 00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:23,840 Speaker 1: and inactive. And to this day, I'll never get why 452 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 1: you're on the team and everybody is not allowed to 453 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,479 Speaker 1: suit up. I don't understand that. That's a rule that 454 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,159 Speaker 1: I don't understand. They if you're on a team, you 455 00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,440 Speaker 1: should be able to suit up and play. But I digress. 456 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:40,760 Speaker 1: But I don't remember a ton from that game because 457 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:46,200 Speaker 1: I wasn't playing, But I do remember us winning the game. 458 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:51,199 Speaker 1: I do remember the Patriots not starting well as a 459 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 1: team that season and then going on to win the 460 00:24:54,880 --> 00:25:01,199 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. The Patriots this year did not start well. 461 00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:05,119 Speaker 1: I don't believe they'll go on and win the Super Bowl. 462 00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:11,440 Speaker 1: But when you look at the comparisons from what Vrabel 463 00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:15,880 Speaker 1: was talking about, you you can you can say, okay, yeah, 464 00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 1: I can see you know they're they're one in three. 465 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:24,240 Speaker 1: After the first quarter of the season, You're like, oh yeah, 466 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:27,159 Speaker 1: belichicked the messed up and drafted Mac Jones and then 467 00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:31,600 Speaker 1: they rall off all these wins because in two thousand 468 00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:35,640 Speaker 1: and one they were also one in three, and so 469 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:40,600 Speaker 1: those comparisons are fair because record wise is very similar. 470 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,359 Speaker 1: And now the Patriots are on a five game win streak. 471 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 1: And before they won the Super Bowl, they finished the 472 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,760 Speaker 1: season with five wins in a row and then went 473 00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:57,439 Speaker 1: into the playoffs and it just kept rolling. And so similarities. 474 00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:01,640 Speaker 1: I record wise, it's there. They play great defense, they 475 00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:05,359 Speaker 1: don't turn the ball over. Mac Jones is taking what 476 00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:12,159 Speaker 1: the defense gives them. Rabels, you see the similarities. You 477 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:14,719 Speaker 1: want to make sure that you're not on that list 478 00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:19,119 Speaker 1: of victims because the Tennessee there. Record wise, they're a 479 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:22,639 Speaker 1: good team. But I don't really look at him as 480 00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:25,360 Speaker 1: a when you tell me, if you ask me who 481 00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:27,920 Speaker 1: would I pick to go to represent the AFC in 482 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, I named four or five teams before 483 00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:37,240 Speaker 1: I name the Titans, and so Henry back. Yeah, even 484 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:39,199 Speaker 1: if they have Derek carringback, because he's going to have 485 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,920 Speaker 1: been out for so long that him coming back, you're 486 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,520 Speaker 1: not gonna be in shape. You gotta knock that rust off. 487 00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:46,639 Speaker 1: He's gonna miss too much of the season for I 488 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:48,640 Speaker 1: believe for him to come back and make a big impact. 489 00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:52,560 Speaker 1: Dje Benzata, Doug Gottliebn for Dan and the Dannettes and 490 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:57,080 Speaker 1: the Dan Patrick Show on Fox Sports Radio. Um, okay, 491 00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:00,760 Speaker 1: So if you don't like Tennessee, it's in the AFC, 492 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,800 Speaker 1: and you said, like, look, even Kansas City's offense is 493 00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,280 Speaker 1: not what it should be. Right now, who do you like? 494 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:12,760 Speaker 1: And when you sit here and right right now, you 495 00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:16,879 Speaker 1: know and I guess I'm I'm living in a moment. 496 00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:20,239 Speaker 1: I like. I like the way the culture playing on 497 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:25,120 Speaker 1: both sides of the ball. When when Lamar Jackson isn't 498 00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:29,480 Speaker 1: that lineup? Obviously you like the Ravens and then the 499 00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:33,080 Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs. I was really high on the Bills. 500 00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on the way the coach 501 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,240 Speaker 1: just went in there and oh smacked them. It wasn't 502 00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:42,280 Speaker 1: even a ball game. It was an embarrassment, really, to 503 00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:47,000 Speaker 1: be honest with you. And so those would be the 504 00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:53,880 Speaker 1: three teams Baltimore, Kansas City, and Indy that you say, 505 00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:58,240 Speaker 1: I could see those teams. I just can't see Tennessee 506 00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:02,159 Speaker 1: without Derek Henry making a run in the playoffs. I 507 00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,800 Speaker 1: just don't. I mean you you talked about this earlier. 508 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:09,160 Speaker 1: House Stafford through four picks in two games he gave 509 00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:13,640 Speaker 1: that game with Tennessee. Tennessee had nothing offensively. Yeah, they 510 00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:17,800 Speaker 1: took the game, but offensively they didn't do much against 511 00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:22,520 Speaker 1: the Rams. And so I just don't see Tennessee being 512 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:25,080 Speaker 1: that type of team, and so they would fall in 513 00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:29,560 Speaker 1: my five or six. I would probably, if Baker's healthy, 514 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:32,359 Speaker 1: put Cleveland in front of him, because I believe Cleveland's 515 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:37,000 Speaker 1: defense would be able to slow Tennessee's offense down. Yeah, 516 00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:38,600 Speaker 1: I just don't know if they'll get to that point 517 00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:40,959 Speaker 1: of being actually in the playoffs. That's that's the problem 518 00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,760 Speaker 1: with whatever the talent is there for the Browns, but 519 00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:45,600 Speaker 1: they just haven't been able to put it put it 520 00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:49,480 Speaker 1: all together. All right. So speaking of the Bills, right, 521 00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:52,720 Speaker 1: like this is a you're playing a completely depleted New 522 00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:56,320 Speaker 1: Orleans team today, Like there's just feels like no should 523 00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:58,880 Speaker 1: be no excuses for not what's the matter with the Bills. 524 00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:03,040 Speaker 1: Josh Allen I as good as we thought. This is 525 00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:07,040 Speaker 1: a it's odd to me. I'm not gonna say Josh 526 00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:10,440 Speaker 1: Allen isn't as good as we thought. I believe Josh 527 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:14,040 Speaker 1: Allen is a stud. He's just not playing the way 528 00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:16,520 Speaker 1: he played last year. Like he was so lights out 529 00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:21,360 Speaker 1: last year, Doug. It was like almost scary how good 530 00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:24,240 Speaker 1: he was playing. In the thought that he could get 531 00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:29,040 Speaker 1: better and would be better, it was like, Wow, if 532 00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:35,160 Speaker 1: Josh Allen improves, He's gonna be a perennial MVP candidate 533 00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:40,280 Speaker 1: every single year. They're just not playing well. I thought 534 00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:43,120 Speaker 1: going into the season, where was the pass rush gonna 535 00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:47,240 Speaker 1: come from? They still they almost played how Kansas. They 536 00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:49,080 Speaker 1: don't want to run the ball. They don't try to 537 00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:53,720 Speaker 1: run the ball, and it's hurting him. But Buffalo has 538 00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:56,080 Speaker 1: been a surprise for me in a bad way. I 539 00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,640 Speaker 1: thought they would be much better than what they are. 540 00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:03,959 Speaker 1: I thought that division would go through them. Yeah, let's 541 00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:06,040 Speaker 1: let's bring in Plexico Burrows who joins us. Of course, 542 00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:08,680 Speaker 1: you can hear plaques with LaVar Arrington and T.

The Rams 547 00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:24,120 Speaker 1: lose Robert Woods but Gaine Odell Beckham Junior. But but 548 00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:28,880 Speaker 1: my thing about Obj is he's more talented than Robert Woods. 549 00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:32,000 Speaker 1: But he's not a little things guy like Robert Woods. Is. 550 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:35,320 Speaker 1: Can you make Obj or somebody into a little things guy? 551 00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:37,680 Speaker 1: Because they already have Cooper Cup, they already have other 552 00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:40,520 Speaker 1: people who do the big things. Man. You know what. 553 00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:43,000 Speaker 1: I love Robert woods Man. Hey, first of all, having 554 00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:45,480 Speaker 1: Thanksgiving to you guys.

I think, uh, you know, bringing him in, 566 00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:30,560 Speaker 1: bringing ob J in to to join that offense, it's 567 00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:33,840 Speaker 1: only gonna make them better. And uh you know, even 568 00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:36,560 Speaker 1: though he's down, I think the more of that O 569 00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:41,360 Speaker 1: b J gets in rapport with the offense and um 570 00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:45,800 Speaker 1: and and Matthew Stafford. Uh uh we talked about this 571 00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:49,760 Speaker 1: last week myself. T J. I'm picking the I'm picking 572 00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:52,240 Speaker 1: the rams and come out of the NFC. I really am. 573 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:55,800 Speaker 1: I think they are that talented on offense, especially with 574 00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:59,440 Speaker 1: the addition Da von Miller. On defense, I think they're 575 00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:02,960 Speaker 1: gonna be spe but you know, it all depends on 576 00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:05,640 Speaker 1: how fast Oh b J can pick up this playbook. 577 00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:08,880 Speaker 1: And you know it's it's a good stuff for him, 578 00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:13,720 Speaker 1: h you know, good offense. And I'm really expecting for 579 00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:17,880 Speaker 1: the Rams to go through the roof. We were talking 580 00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:22,800 Speaker 1: Rams in the NFC when we were just discussing the AFC. 581 00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:27,160 Speaker 1: What team do you like or teams do you like? 582 00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:34,120 Speaker 1: And who's been a surprise disappointment, you know what surprise 583 00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:37,400 Speaker 1: for him? For me obviously, when Derek Henry written down 584 00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:42,160 Speaker 1: you know that that really that really hurt Tendessee because 585 00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:47,760 Speaker 1: now I think Royn chatting Hill gets exposed. I really do. 586 00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:51,080 Speaker 1: I played with Mike Braybo for seven years in Pittsburgh. 587 00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:54,800 Speaker 1: I understand it's philosophy big back. We had drown when 588 00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:57,440 Speaker 1: when we were all playing together, so you could kind 589 00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:00,880 Speaker 1: of hide the quarterback within the running game. But now 590 00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:05,280 Speaker 1: that they do, they don't have that. Ryan Tannehills don't 591 00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:07,840 Speaker 1: have to go out and win some football games. And 592 00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:11,080 Speaker 1: I don't think I don't think a lot of people noticed, 593 00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:14,440 Speaker 1: but he's not not you know, he's not that good 594 00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:18,680 Speaker 1: as a quarterback. He's not accurate. He's never been a pastor. 595 00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:23,080 Speaker 1: So but Derek Henry being out, they could hire him 596 00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:27,000 Speaker 1: within the running game. So Tennessee with with him going out, 597 00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:30,840 Speaker 1: it kind of puts them, you know, at the bottom 598 00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:35,680 Speaker 1: of the AC South. But in the AFC, it's wide open. 599 00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:38,760 Speaker 1: I really expect for the Baltomore Ravens to make a run. 600 00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:42,760 Speaker 1: They have the defense to get it done. Obviously, Lamar Jackson, 601 00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:47,400 Speaker 1: if he continues to improve and win football games, it 602 00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:50,640 Speaker 1: can really be the Baltimore Ravens. I really believe that. 603 00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:56,360 Speaker 1: But there's no clear team in the AFC right now 604 00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:59,880 Speaker 1: that you can say, uh, you know, it's a powerhouse 605 00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:02,720 Speaker 1: the build. I didn't understand that land you at all. 606 00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:05,600 Speaker 1: Can I can I ask you guys a question. You 607 00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:09,000 Speaker 1: guys are both super talented Pro Bowl wide receivers, right, 608 00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:10,920 Speaker 1: So let me give him my read on on the 609 00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:14,360 Speaker 1: Browns thing with Baker. I get that he's hurt. I 610 00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:17,759 Speaker 1: get that they've had other issues, right, And I do 611 00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:21,040 Speaker 1: think that guys genuinely like Baker right because he always 612 00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:23,800 Speaker 1: usually is about sticking up for his dudes and whatever. 613 00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:26,879 Speaker 1: But there comes a point when if you can't play, 614 00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:29,040 Speaker 1: you can't play right. If you're not good enough, you're 615 00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:32,000 Speaker 1: not good enough, and you can't fool You can't fool 616 00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:34,000 Speaker 1: dudes in that locker room. You can't fool real players 617 00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:36,799 Speaker 1: because they know. Is that the point that we're at 618 00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:39,279 Speaker 1: where he's kind of been exposed or is there something 619 00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:42,160 Speaker 1: because this was a weird week where his wife goes 620 00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:45,080 Speaker 1: on Instagram to you know, calling out the toughness of others, 621 00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:48,960 Speaker 1: and he avoids the media like it was a weird week. Pleues, 622 00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:51,120 Speaker 1: you give me your read. You've been in you both 623 00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:53,520 Speaker 1: of you guys have been in this position before. What's 624 00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:56,800 Speaker 1: really going on in Cleveland? Man? We talk about it 625 00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:59,640 Speaker 1: is almost every week when we talk about the Cleveland 626 00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:05,160 Speaker 1: Brown is Baker Mayfield. You can't fool anybody anymore. Baker 627 00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:08,840 Speaker 1: Mayfield is not a franchise quarterback. We keep saying that 628 00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:13,920 Speaker 1: he has the same statistic of Gardener. Menshew, call me 629 00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:17,080 Speaker 1: think you if Garden miss you on the NFL roster 630 00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:23,479 Speaker 1: right now, they have the same exact numbers. I listen, 631 00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:25,719 Speaker 1: I know we see him on Teller Vision and we 632 00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:28,919 Speaker 1: see him all these progressive commercials and all of that. 633 00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:33,680 Speaker 1: The guys in that locker room. No, he is not 634 00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:39,080 Speaker 1: a franchise quarterback. So he's a good player, but he 635 00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:43,200 Speaker 1: is not within what do we say that a top 636 00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:46,600 Speaker 1: fifteen quarterback in the NFL. I understand it's the first 637 00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:49,879 Speaker 1: round draft pick. I give it number one draft pick. 638 00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:55,680 Speaker 1: But as far as leading a franchise and contending for 639 00:35:55,719 --> 00:36:00,480 Speaker 1: a world championship, he's not that guy. When when, when, God, when, 640 00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:07,520 Speaker 1: when Baker was drafted, I tweeted out, I said, congratulations, 641 00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:11,160 Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns, you will have the number one pick five 642 00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:16,680 Speaker 1: years from now. Wow, he got one more They got 643 00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:20,359 Speaker 1: one more year exactly. You know what, Doug, it's like 644 00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:26,080 Speaker 1: this when his wife comes out and says what she said, 645 00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:30,240 Speaker 1: that's pillow talk. That's him talking to her at home, 646 00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:34,880 Speaker 1: telling her how banged up he is, what she knows, 647 00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:38,359 Speaker 1: and how everybody else is being soft. All she's doing 648 00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:43,520 Speaker 1: is repeating what he's told her, and now it don't 649 00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:47,200 Speaker 1: look too good. Even and DJ, even if he didn't, 650 00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:49,279 Speaker 1: even if she did, he didn't tell her that.

Hey. With 655 00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:08,479 Speaker 1: that being said, if Baker may feel and Matt Ryan 656 00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:13,440 Speaker 1: swapped teams, there will be nothing different. It will be 657 00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:18,840 Speaker 1: the same exact results for both organizations. Plaques, Uh, plaques. 658 00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:24,799 Speaker 1: What times of food ready? Uh?

Okay, 685 00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:06,400 Speaker 1: So Mariy Cooper's out with COVID, right, Jerry Jones basically 686 00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:09,560 Speaker 1: said like, hey, you know it wasn't it and Michael 687 00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:12,040 Speaker 1: Irvin got into got into Mary Cooper. A man, you 688 00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:15,040 Speaker 1: can't be making twenty million dollars and be out with 689 00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:18,279 Speaker 1: COVID and not get the vaccine. Now. Cedee Lamb is 690 00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:21,040 Speaker 1: out for today because he did not go through pass 691 00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:26,440 Speaker 1: concussion protocols in what looks like a complete mismatch on 692 00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:29,839 Speaker 1: paper until injuries. Did the Cowboys win without their two 693 00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:36,879 Speaker 1: best wide receivers? Wow, I just assumed Cowboys are gonna 694 00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:41,800 Speaker 1: beat the Raiders pretty handily. Home game. The Cowboys need 695 00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:47,040 Speaker 1: this win and then you don't have a Mark Cooper, 696 00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:52,480 Speaker 1: you don't have CD Lamb. I'll say the Cowboys will 697 00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:55,719 Speaker 1: win this game seven a half point favorites. Now will 698 00:39:55,760 --> 00:40:04,800 Speaker 1: they cover? Probably? The Raiders are a good football team, 699 00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:07,319 Speaker 1: just like we spoke of earlier, trying to find their 700 00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:11,120 Speaker 1: way after what they've been through. But offensively they haven't 701 00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:16,360 Speaker 1: played well lately, but they have the talent on that 702 00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:21,400 Speaker 1: team to play well. Dallas is much improved on defense. 703 00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:26,080 Speaker 1: But if Ezekiel Eliot is hurt, I believe Tyrn Smith 704 00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:29,960 Speaker 1: will play. So they're gonna feature that run game. They're 705 00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:31,960 Speaker 1: gonna feature that run game and try to get the 706 00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:36,120 Speaker 1: Raiders to play single high safety and then Gallop and 707 00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:39,719 Speaker 1: Cedric Wilson can get off. Yeah they how about this one? 708 00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:46,040 Speaker 1: The Raiders have had fourteen straight unsuccessful third downs they have. 709 00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:50,719 Speaker 1: Their conversion rate is twenty one point four. That's the 710 00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:55,040 Speaker 1: lowest third down conversion rate in the National Football League, 711 00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:58,880 Speaker 1: and their thirty first on defense in third down conversion 712 00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:02,960 Speaker 1: rate at fifty three point five. Like, dude, they're the 713 00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:06,600 Speaker 1: Raiders are bad. The Raiders are bad. But do I 714 00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:08,879 Speaker 1: think they do? I think it could be competitive? I 715 00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:12,359 Speaker 1: guess I don't know. They're just not good. You have 716 00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:15,640 Speaker 1: inexperienced play but honestly, you got a play caller. It's 717 00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:18,640 Speaker 1: an impossible job to take over for John Gruden. That's 718 00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:21,040 Speaker 1: like sitting down on my couch and trying to trying 719 00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:24,160 Speaker 1: to turn on my TV and my sound system right 720 00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:27,120 Speaker 1: like you're that's that's completely designed by somebody else who's 721 00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:31,759 Speaker 1: not in the building anymore. It's almost crazy that you 722 00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:37,080 Speaker 1: throw those stats out there. And at one point it was, oh, 723 00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:39,800 Speaker 1: the Raiders are gonna be the surprise team of the league. 724 00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:44,480 Speaker 1: They started off that well, when when you've been through 725 00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:48,600 Speaker 1: what they've been through, obviously you're gonna fall off. You're 726 00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:54,360 Speaker 1: gonna have just moments of this is not the same team. Sure, 727 00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:58,480 Speaker 1: but they're playing the Dallas Cowboys team that some people, 728 00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:02,959 Speaker 1: if healthy believe, I have a legit chance of making 729 00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:07,520 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. The Cowboys need this win. Dak Prescott 730 00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:09,520 Speaker 1: in that offensive line, in that run game will get 731 00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:13,000 Speaker 1: it for him. I'm and uh as you're excited about 732 00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:17,560 Speaker 1: the greens, you're excited about the turkey, white meter, dark meat. Oh, 733 00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:21,520 Speaker 1: white meat all day? Really yeah, man, dark meat guy, 734 00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:24,799 Speaker 1: white meat all day because I first I'm gonna eat 735 00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:28,480 Speaker 1: this gumbo with this corn bread, and then about five 736 00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:31,000 Speaker 1: or six I'm killing the turkey, the greens and mac 737 00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:33,160 Speaker 1: and cheese and the candy ms that that that's the 738 00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:36,359 Speaker 1: itinerary for the day. And then they'll and then there'll 739 00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:39,440 Speaker 1: be a nap and then you wake up. Probably you know, 740 00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:41,480 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't take naps, man, one night go, 741 00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:43,680 Speaker 1: No one takes naps. But I'm Thanksgiving.
