It's me Jason McIntyre and how was 3 00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:22,600 Speaker 1: your Monday night? Everybody? Was it as good as mine? 4 00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:27,880 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, Ravens Brown's NFL game of the Year. 5 00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:31,280 Speaker 1: I don't think anybody had anticipated anything like that. A 6 00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:35,280 Speaker 1: phenomenal game will cover all aspects of it. I don't 7 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,680 Speaker 1: know are they calling it the mudbut game for Lamar 8 00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:42,720 Speaker 1: Jackson Baker Mayfield was sensational. Um. Obviously the gambling aspect 9 00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:46,040 Speaker 1: at the end, just a phenomenal game. We will dive 10 00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:48,560 Speaker 1: deep into it. Obviously if you had it in best bet, 11 00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 1: chut ching a winner. UM. A quick programming note, Remember 12 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 1: how we had that kind of random interview with the 13 00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 1: comedian a couple of weeks back. The response was overwhelmingly 14 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,120 Speaker 1: positive that I saw from you guys. At least, UM, 15 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:08,160 Speaker 1: we have another one, not a comedian, another realm of 16 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,560 Speaker 1: non sports. This guy is a big sports fan. UM. 17 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:15,119 Speaker 1: I would say there's like a seventy chance that most 18 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 1: of you know who he is. UM. I happen to 19 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:21,160 Speaker 1: meet him a little over a decade ago, we became friends. Uh, 20 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 1: he's gonna come on the podcast and we will have 21 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 1: that on Wednesday. I think you guys will love that. 22 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 1: And later in the podcast, please stick around because I 23 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 1: want to talk about something I saw in sports and failure. Um, 24 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,399 Speaker 1: I think you're gonna like that too. But obviously we 25 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,320 Speaker 1: have to start with the NFL Game of the Year, 26 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:46,679 Speaker 1: Browns seeming. I keep coming back fighting and calling Baker 27 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 1: Mayfield the game of his career and they still lose. 28 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 1: I mean, there's so many ways to tackle this game. 29 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 1: I obviously the gambling aspect, because I want to. I'm excited. 30 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 1: I gave out a winner. We were winning that even 31 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,559 Speaker 1: without the safety at the end. Now, the safety helped 32 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 1: everybody win. A lot of you probably pushed. Um. I 33 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 1: don't think you can make any big pictures sweeping proclamations 34 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 1: about either team. Um, this did feel like a body 35 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 1: bag game if you guys watched it closely. I mean, 36 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,119 Speaker 1: Myles Garrett got dinged up, the Browns left tackle left 37 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:22,800 Speaker 1: the game, the Baltimore Ravens lost I believe two cornerbacks 38 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 1: during the game, and Baker was just picking on the 39 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 1: backups in the fourth quarter. Folks who were thirty five 40 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:34,080 Speaker 1: points scored in the fourth quarter of Brown's Ravens um 41 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 1: defense was clearly optional in this one. Just I mean 42 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 1: there was over eight hundred yards of total offense. I 43 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 1: love this stat in the red zone. Okay, Monday in football, 44 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens five for five, Cleveland Browns four for four. Okay, 45 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 1: Ravens are now tied for the final playoff spot in 46 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,920 Speaker 1: the a f C. But don't worry, They're probably gonna 47 00:02:57,919 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: be a lock to get in. I say probably because 48 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,079 Speaker 1: I want to what comes out of this game with 49 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 1: the injuries. Um, they play the Jags this weekend. I 50 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 1: expect a major letdown from Baltimore. That is an obvious 51 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 1: letdown spot. Gardner Minshew is back under center for Jacksonville. 52 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 1: I'm almost certain I'll be betting Jacksonville in the first 53 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 1: half in that game. Um, but after that, you know, 54 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,360 Speaker 1: they play the New York Giants, very winnable game and 55 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,920 Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Bengals. Bengals look like they were locked for 56 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,359 Speaker 1: the third pick in the draft. So Baltimore is gonna 57 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 1: get to the postseason. Okay, Um, I just I do 58 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 1: worry about a Lamar Jackson And you know we can 59 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 1: make fun of the runs and um, you know, he's 60 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 1: calling it cramps, but it was clearly a diarrhea situation. 61 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 1: You know, you guys saw the video of him running 62 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 1: to the locker room. He kind of had the legs spray, 63 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 1: like I got a space about it. I don't want 64 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 1: you know, we've all been there. Every every man has 65 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 1: had a situation where you had to run to the bathroom. Okay. 66 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 1: And my favorite was when he comes out on fourth 67 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 1: down because they needed to come back in the game 68 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 1: and with McSorley his backup injured, he had a towel 69 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 1: covering his butt. Now Rob g the producer, says, I 70 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 1: think he has had a lot at the back. Um. Also, 71 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 1: it was noted on Monday night that Lamar had a 72 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 1: white bandage around his uh where you would get like 73 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 1: an ivy drip. Um. They look for that vein right 74 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 1: on the other side of your elbow. Um. And it 75 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 1: was pretty clear that something something went down. He was 76 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:29,720 Speaker 1: dehydrated in subway shape or form, and Lamar needed medical attention. 77 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 1: And um, remember they lost r G three to injury 78 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,279 Speaker 1: and then mix sorley went down. It was just crazy 79 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,479 Speaker 1: what happened in that fourth quarter. It didn't want to 80 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 1: end there. Have been some fast NFL games this season. 81 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 1: That was one of the longer ones, but nobody minded 82 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,040 Speaker 1: it was no big deal. I mean the game, it 83 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,720 Speaker 1: was just tremendous, every aspect of it. The Browns are 84 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,279 Speaker 1: pretty clearly here to stay. And I do want to 85 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:58,360 Speaker 1: give credit to Kevin Stefanski for absolutely coming out and 86 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,840 Speaker 1: not just handing the ball off to Chub every down. 87 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 1: They were throwing aggressively on first down, which, as Lewis 88 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 1: Riddick said, and anybody who watches noseball football knows this. 89 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 1: When you get an aggressive, blitz happy team like Baltimore, 90 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 1: how do you slow it down? Wide receiver screens, tight 91 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:20,239 Speaker 1: end screens, running back screens, bootlegs, keep them off balance. 92 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 1: And they did that so much early that Baltimore's pass 93 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 1: rush really was not as much of a factor as 94 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,600 Speaker 1: you would think, and Baker handled it well. They did 95 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:33,159 Speaker 1: not sack Baker Mayfield. We know he crumbles under pressure. 96 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 1: He was not sacked. They hit him a bunch um. 97 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 1: Baker was a tough s ob. What he thought was 98 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 1: the game winning uh well, the first game winning touchdown 99 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 1: run in the fourth quarter before the Ravens quickly came back. 100 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 1: But Baker I was impressed and we talked about it. 101 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:52,920 Speaker 1: Remember when the Browns beat the Titans like nine days ago. 102 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:55,919 Speaker 1: We come out every Monday with the biggest story in 103 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,279 Speaker 1: the NFL. Try to set the agenda for everyone else. 104 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 1: They follow us because we're out there five a m. 105 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 1: Eastern time every Monday. And we said, Baker and Stefanski 106 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 1: are doing this without Odell Beckham. Okay, and what did 107 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:12,280 Speaker 1: they do not only against Tennessee, but right back against Baltimore, 108 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 1: one of the better defensive units in the league. They 109 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 1: came out and it was Donovan People's jones, it was 110 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 1: Rashad Higgins after he stopped dropping passes, Juice Landry, Harrison, 111 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 1: Bryant and Joku uh This was a complete performance that 112 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 1: shows you. I'm telling you guys, Kevin Stefanski is a 113 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 1: really good coach. And I was super impressed with Baker Mayfield. Um, 114 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,279 Speaker 1: this is a Browns team, no joke, guys. They had 115 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:42,040 Speaker 1: seven fumbles in the game according to the box score. 116 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:46,279 Speaker 1: Higgins had three, Landry had to Baker had one, Kareem 117 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 1: Hunt had one one of Landry's. I think they're crediting 118 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 1: him with the fumble on like the final play of 119 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 1: the game which resulted in a safety. But if I'm 120 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 1: a Browns fan, I know you're devastated. Oh we had 121 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 1: that game, you know, blah blah blah. There's no way 122 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:06,679 Speaker 1: you can come away anything. But wow, we are going nowhere. 123 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 1: We're a couple of defenders away from being a legit 124 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 1: Super Bowl contender in the a f C. Obviously, Olivier 125 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 1: Vernon another monster game. He's an animal on the defensive line. Obviously, 126 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:22,000 Speaker 1: you need to keep uh Myles Garrett healthy. He not 127 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 1: much of a factor after he had that. I think 128 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 1: it was a shoulder injury. Will no more. Um, Baltimore 129 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 1: is gonna be a tough out in the playoffs. They 130 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 1: clearly with Stefanski can move the football or anybody. And 131 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 1: if I'm a Baltimore Ravens today, I'm thinking, oh boy, um, 132 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 1: we got swept by the Steelers and we needed a 133 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 1: miracle to get by the Browns. Lamar Jackson completed eleven passes, 134 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 1: that's it, and was able to run all over Cleveland 135 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 1: hundred twenty four yards. And this is my I guess 136 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 1: my big Baltimore takeaway. If you guys noticed early in 137 00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 1: the season they were trying to make Lamar are something. 138 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 1: He's not right. They were trying to say, Lamar, we 139 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 1: want you in the pocket passing. Now. Some of that 140 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 1: had to do with Baltimore falling behind in games this 141 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,679 Speaker 1: season and Lamar had to come back. And Rob G's 142 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 1: favorite stat is Lamar has never come back from a 143 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 1: double digit deficit to win a football game. And I 144 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 1: think Baltimore realized, you know what, screw this pocket stuff. 145 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 1: Let's just play the Lamar strengths, which is what they 146 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 1: did two years ago and last year. Let's play the 147 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 1: Lamar strengths. Let's get him on the run, Let's get 148 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 1: him in space, and oh yeah, that works against everybody. Uh, 149 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:36,320 Speaker 1: and they seem to have gone back to it. I 150 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,960 Speaker 1: mean the last two weeks, Lamar Jackson really showing me 151 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 1: something with the legs. J K. Dobbins a tough s 152 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 1: o B. They did not have mark Ingram. Eventually, he's 153 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 1: coming back, and we know what the playoff. The playoff 154 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:50,840 Speaker 1: idea is going to be from this team. We're gonna 155 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,080 Speaker 1: hit you with gust the buss, We're gonna hit you 156 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 1: with Dobbins, We're gonna hit you with Ingram and oh yeah, 157 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 1: we've got Lamar Jackson once Mark Andrews returned from injury. 158 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,559 Speaker 1: Remember he's been out a lot this year. Five catches 159 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,560 Speaker 1: seventy eight yards and he was instrumental on the game 160 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,440 Speaker 1: winning drive that produced the Tucker field goal. Um. I 161 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:12,079 Speaker 1: still don't trust that receiving corps. I mean, really, Hollywood 162 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,960 Speaker 1: Brown had at least two drops, it might have been three. Uh, 163 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 1: nobody's throwing the baltim Miles Boykin Uh Willie Snead. You 164 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 1: know it's really you just gotta hug up on Mark Andrews, 165 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 1: take him away, and then I don't know what Lamar 166 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,959 Speaker 1: can do. Um. The problem is you can win when 167 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,960 Speaker 1: you run the football when the defense is good. Um. 168 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,079 Speaker 1: This Ravens defense, I don't know. Man Browns ran for 169 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 1: a buck thirty eight. Baker did what he wanted against 170 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,959 Speaker 1: the secondary. Um. I don't want this to be too 171 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:42,960 Speaker 1: hot of a take. I come away from this game 172 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,680 Speaker 1: more impressed with the Cleveland Browns then the Baltimore Ravens 173 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 1: now rob G. There's a lot of stuff swirling about 174 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 1: the Lamar Jackson mud butt um situation. I don't want 175 00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,560 Speaker 1: to get too graphic and talk about poop too much 176 00:09:56,559 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 1: and diarrhea. It is funny, ha ha ha. I let 177 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 1: make a lot of poop jokes jokes around my kids. Um, 178 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 1: but this is probably the most famous for me diarrhea poop, 179 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 1: bowel movement games since Bobby Hurley in the Final four 180 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:14,840 Speaker 1: I don't even know if you were born yet against 181 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:18,680 Speaker 1: un l V. Um. It was un l V was 182 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 1: stacked and Duke was a young team in the Final four, 183 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 1: and Bobby Hurley got so nervous before the national anthem 184 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:28,960 Speaker 1: he had to run to the bathroom and he had diarrhea, 185 00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 1: and um, they just got smoked from the opening jump. 186 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 1: Bobby Hurley had to wait a year to live that down. Obviously. 187 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:40,040 Speaker 1: The following year, un l V was undefeated and Bobby 188 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:43,880 Speaker 1: Hurley and Christian Lightner and that Duke team take them 189 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 1: down in an epic, epic college basketball game back when 190 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:51,600 Speaker 1: the sport mattered. Um, And that to me, I'll never 191 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:53,839 Speaker 1: forget that because like, remember, there was no internet back then. 192 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 1: I don't know what was that early nineties and it 193 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 1: was just like, wait, what's going on? What? And I 194 00:10:57,800 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 1: think Billy Packer was the one who spelled the beans 195 00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:05,440 Speaker 1: of nerves and uh, you know, bowel movements. Um, Billy 196 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:07,960 Speaker 1: Packer great announcer. By the way, people people didn't like 197 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:12,239 Speaker 1: him on social media. I love Billy Packer, great, great storyteller. Um, 198 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 1: But to me, that's what this game will be remembered for. 199 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:19,720 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield, a wizard coming back with quarter points, and um, 200 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:24,960 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, you know will willis reading out of the 201 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:28,960 Speaker 1: tunnel after an ivy and a lot of toilet paper usage. 202 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 1: I love this. I love everything about this game. Rob. 203 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 1: We could probably do an hour on it, but we cannot. 204 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:40,080 Speaker 1: Your thoughts on Lamar Jackson's poop game, Well, I'm surprised 205 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,840 Speaker 1: that you brought up Bobby Hurley and forgot about the 206 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:46,360 Speaker 1: guy who was trending all last night during the game, 207 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,400 Speaker 1: the guy who Lamar Jackson referenced in the post game. 208 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:54,679 Speaker 1: That's Paul Pierce. Piers famously had to be wheeled out 209 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,679 Speaker 1: on a on a wheelchair because the bubble Goods it 210 00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,400 Speaker 1: hit him so hard. And and actually, I mean, I 211 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,079 Speaker 1: don't know if I believe you know what the story 212 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,599 Speaker 1: is with Lamar Jackson and the cramps and whether or 213 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,440 Speaker 1: not he had the the b GS or not. But um, 214 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:12,200 Speaker 1: he did make a point to say in the press conference, no, 215 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:14,840 Speaker 1: I had cramps. I did. I was not Paul Pierce. 216 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 1: He did say on the field to ESPN when they 217 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 1: asked them, Hey, what was going on back there, and 218 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 1: he said, hey, HO had to get an I V 219 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 1: I was cramping up. And you know, normally you just 220 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 1: take God his word. You know, he's he's being say, 221 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 1: it's just an ivy. The problem though, is, and we 222 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,080 Speaker 1: had internet sleuths on this all last night into the 223 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 1: wee hours of the morning. As he was talking to 224 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,280 Speaker 1: ESPN and his teammates were mobbing him. Obviously they're excited 225 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:42,720 Speaker 1: about the game. At least one player can be heard 226 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 1: off screen saying, that's the poop game. That's the poop game. 227 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 1: So I don't know who we're gonna believe in this situation. 228 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:56,600 Speaker 1: I'm choosing personally to believe that it was a poop 229 00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,840 Speaker 1: game because it makes it more interesting. It makes it 230 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 1: a better story to me to know that not only 231 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 1: did you get the win in the best game of 232 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:07,679 Speaker 1: the season, but you did it while simultaneously charting all 233 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,839 Speaker 1: over yourself. It's memorable. I mean, nobody's ever going to 234 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 1: forget that game. I can't think of a better game 235 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 1: this season. I would assume the Chiefs were involved in 236 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 1: one Chief's Raiders was pretty awesome, right, the Sunday night 237 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 1: affair a few Chief Raiders was really good, but it 238 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:30,880 Speaker 1: did not have this the the storylines that developed in 239 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,840 Speaker 1: that fourth quarter, you know, when when he went out 240 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,640 Speaker 1: and then you know, nobody really knew what was going 241 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:38,960 Speaker 1: on because even though Twitter was trending, like if you're 242 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,120 Speaker 1: watching the game, they didn't really talk about it much. 243 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,920 Speaker 1: They just said, well, Trace McSorley is in, and all 244 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:45,959 Speaker 1: we're getting word is that Lamar is cramping. We don't 245 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,199 Speaker 1: know exactly what's going on, but all this is happening, 246 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield's going back and forth up and down the field, 247 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,960 Speaker 1: scoring touchdown. Trace McSorley finally gets a little bit of rhythm. 248 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:55,199 Speaker 1: They look like, hey, they might win this one in 249 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,560 Speaker 1: the field goal and it he may or may not 250 00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:59,440 Speaker 1: have torn as a c. I don't know exactly what 251 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:01,600 Speaker 1: the word is, but it didn't look good on the 252 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 1: on the live feet of the game. And then out 253 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:08,520 Speaker 1: of nowhere, seemingly you're expecting maybe Willie Snead might take 254 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,559 Speaker 1: some snaps quarterback, that's where they're at. Here comes the 255 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,080 Speaker 1: mar Jackson on fourth downs and hey, maybe you can 256 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 1: get a first down at least in the game. There 257 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,559 Speaker 1: was a touchdown on his first play back. Like it 258 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 1: was crazy. And I'm surprised that you we are now, 259 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 1: what twenty five minutes or whatever into this podcast fifteen 260 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 1: it felt fifteen minutes in and you have not mentioned 261 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 1: the bad beats really once? Yeah, well, hold on, I 262 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 1: I do want to say, Um, Raiders, Chiefs. You know, 263 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:41,240 Speaker 1: both their games were very good. Um, the one the 264 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:44,040 Speaker 1: Raiders won and then the one the Chiefs won. Neither 265 00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 1: of them had the amount of fecal matter that this 266 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 1: game did. And uh, and that's what that's what's gonna 267 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,120 Speaker 1: separate this game from everything. I mean, this is probably 268 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 1: the best NFL game since what was it Rams Chiefs? 269 00:14:55,080 --> 00:15:01,080 Speaker 1: Was that on Monday Night foot All a couple of 270 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:04,040 Speaker 1: years ago. Um? But yeah, okay, fine, let's get to 271 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,400 Speaker 1: the gambling. I mean, we can't sit here and talk 272 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 1: about excrement for thirty minutes. People are gonna be weirded out. 273 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 1: And I could could definitely, you know, I could certainly 274 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:17,640 Speaker 1: talk about it. Um, you know, I would tell stories 275 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 1: like about I'm not gonna do Okay, all right, so 276 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 1: let's get to the gambling beat. Um. I would say 277 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 1: once a year there's a situation in the NFL where 278 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 1: there's somebody's down and there's like three seconds left and 279 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 1: they try to do a million laterals, right. Um, It 280 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 1: is always really really difficult to watch that if you're 281 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,480 Speaker 1: gambling on the game, because you know, man, I could 282 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:44,800 Speaker 1: get screwed here. And as soon as the Browns started 283 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 1: with the Shenanigans, it's like, oh boy, here we go. 284 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 1: And they just ended up going backwards backwards, and then 285 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 1: I guess I guess it was Landry who got hit 286 00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 1: on a on a pass back at about the ten 287 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:57,800 Speaker 1: yard line, but he got hit hard and the ball 288 00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 1: just like flung into the end zone and then you 289 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 1: see everybody going to the end zone. The clock read zero. 290 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 1: The announcers had no clue and they're like, oh, it's 291 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,040 Speaker 1: a three point game, it's over. And then you're just 292 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,160 Speaker 1: waiting for the revs to signal and then they add 293 00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:11,960 Speaker 1: the two points for the safety. But it was like 294 00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:14,600 Speaker 1: there was if you rewatch it, there was at least 295 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 1: like a twelve second fifteen second wait for the points 296 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 1: to go on the scoreboard. And I'm sure just everybody 297 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:24,000 Speaker 1: was growing listen. If you had the Browns. That's a 298 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 1: brutal beat. I I listen, I was on the Ravens 299 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:32,520 Speaker 1: every which way I was. I felt good going into 300 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:34,600 Speaker 1: the game. But I mean listen, if you had the Browns, 301 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 1: you were probably on the right side there. I know 302 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:40,560 Speaker 1: they were down fourteen, but Baker had the moxie to 303 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 1: bring them back from down seven and fourteen in the 304 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:48,720 Speaker 1: fourth quarter, Uh going for two the Stefanski Uh analytics play. 305 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,320 Speaker 1: I was worried that, you know, Tucker was gonna hit 306 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:52,480 Speaker 1: it and they were gonna win by two. But the 307 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:57,800 Speaker 1: just the fourth quarter Shenanigans quick note, Rob So McSorley 308 00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:01,520 Speaker 1: hurts his ankle. My brother is in a fantasy football 309 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:06,159 Speaker 1: game where he was going against Chub Lamar and the 310 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:09,720 Speaker 1: Ravens defense. He ended up trailing by one, and then 311 00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:13,000 Speaker 1: because the Browns kept scoring, he got lucky and led 312 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,520 Speaker 1: by four. Trace McSorley is going down the field and 313 00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,119 Speaker 1: I'm texting and like, oh my gosh, Jeff, Chub's not 314 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,159 Speaker 1: gonna get the ball back. The Ravens are gonna win 315 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,760 Speaker 1: this and McSorley is gonna do it. And then McSorley like, 316 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:25,199 Speaker 1: I mean, have you ever seen an injury like that 317 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,840 Speaker 1: with a backup quarterback. I mean, he just goes back 318 00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:32,440 Speaker 1: and like basically folded his own ankle. I wasn't sure 319 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:36,840 Speaker 1: that was crazy. I still, I mean, I probably should 320 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:38,960 Speaker 1: have looked this up before we started recording this morning, 321 00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:41,640 Speaker 1: but I still don't know exactly what got hurt with him. 322 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:43,919 Speaker 1: They said in the broadcast, it looked like it was 323 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,439 Speaker 1: his left knee, and even the way he was walking, 324 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:47,960 Speaker 1: it looked like it was, you know, one of those 325 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 1: meniscus a C L M C L kind of walks. 326 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:52,760 Speaker 1: But you're right now saying that it's an ankle, and 327 00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:55,639 Speaker 1: I trust your sources implicitly. For the most part, it 328 00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:57,760 Speaker 1: looked to me like his ankle just got bent under him, 329 00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,199 Speaker 1: but it could be an You're right. I mean, just hey, 330 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,639 Speaker 1: maybe we should say something about that field, which was 331 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:06,600 Speaker 1: total garbage. Um, I mean, Lamar must have fallen three times. 332 00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,520 Speaker 1: Well lost in this whole thing. Is Lamar Jackson had 333 00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:12,480 Speaker 1: to change his cleats at halftime because he was moving 334 00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:14,840 Speaker 1: so he was slipping so much. Yeah, Well, I mean, 335 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:16,879 Speaker 1: was he did he drop a deuce at halftime or 336 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,720 Speaker 1: did he change his cleats? Like, we don't know at 337 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 1: this point, I don't know how much he was phooping 338 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:25,560 Speaker 1: in the in the Uh we're talking clogged toilets at 339 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,000 Speaker 1: the dog Pound. They're like, I I don't know, but yeah, 340 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 1: the field was total trash um and you just I mean, 341 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,399 Speaker 1: you're I thought maybe just a tuckle would slip on 342 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:37,160 Speaker 1: the game winning kick attempt um that could have gone 343 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:38,920 Speaker 1: over time. But that was That was a phenomenal game. 344 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:41,600 Speaker 1: One for the books, that's for sure. And uh, I 345 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:44,359 Speaker 1: just quickly, I know, speaking of bad beats, I mean, 346 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:46,199 Speaker 1: we talked about the gambling, and you're a big gambling guy, 347 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,800 Speaker 1: so of course you gotta fit that in. What about 348 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:53,240 Speaker 1: the fantasy football people who had Jarvis Landry? Now, one 349 00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 1: guy followed. We both know JJ Zacharison from FANDI does 350 00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 1: a podcast for them, and he's a big fantasy football guy, 351 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,479 Speaker 1: so he's One guy followed. He said he needed twelve 352 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,439 Speaker 1: points PPR from Jarvis Landry. He said it before the 353 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,119 Speaker 1: game for him to win, So be a apologies if 354 00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:12,520 Speaker 1: he's going freaking out over Jarvis Landry. Landry makes a 355 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:17,840 Speaker 1: catch on the Browns last scoring drive that gives him 356 00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:24,000 Speaker 1: a point oh eight lead over his competitor. On that 357 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,880 Speaker 1: lateral play to end the game. You know who got 358 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 1: credit for taking the safety? Oh? Man, he lost in 359 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:38,320 Speaker 1: the fantasy playoffs because of the laterals. That's devastating. Now 360 00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:40,439 Speaker 1: they might have to go to a judge's score. I mean, like, 361 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:44,959 Speaker 1: can a wide receiver take a safety? Is oh my gosh, 362 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:47,440 Speaker 1: Well wouldn't account his negative rushing yard. Isn't that how 363 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:49,359 Speaker 1: it works? Or a fumble or lost fumble or something 364 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 1: like that. Oh poor guy. Yeah, so my brother ended 365 00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:55,159 Speaker 1: up losing his game. I listen. I helped him. I 366 00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,440 Speaker 1: helped him get to the playoffs. He won the title. 367 00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:59,359 Speaker 1: I think last year he was in first place for 368 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:01,520 Speaker 1: like eight or nine weeks and then loses in the playoffs. 369 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:05,000 Speaker 1: I don't want to talk about my fantasy teams. Uh, basically, 370 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 1: I shipped the bed. Let's just put the poop to bed. 371 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:10,360 Speaker 1: At this point in fantasy this year, I lead both 372 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,280 Speaker 1: I was in first place and second in both of 373 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:15,480 Speaker 1: my leagues like maybe a third of the way through 374 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 1: the season, and I don't know what happened. I still 375 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:21,359 Speaker 1: don't know. Just anyways, um So, anyways, that wraps up 376 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 1: in I'm pretty amazing Week fourteen. Week fifteen is ahead 377 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 1: pretty good. Thursday night game between Rob G's Raiders and 378 00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:31,560 Speaker 1: the Chargers. Um definitely must win for the Raiders there, 379 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:34,359 Speaker 1: and line seems to be moving, but we'll have plenty 380 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:35,920 Speaker 1: of time to talk about that later in the week. 381 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:40,520 Speaker 1: I want to briefly pivot from the NFL and wrap 382 00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:42,400 Speaker 1: up the podcast with something that I saw. I don't 383 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,639 Speaker 1: know if you guys will care much about this, and 384 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:46,280 Speaker 1: I know a lot of people don't like the guy, 385 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:48,879 Speaker 1: so you're probably gonna ignore it. But just listen for 386 00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:53,160 Speaker 1: the bigger picture. You guys know, most of life is failure. 387 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:57,080 Speaker 1: We've talked about that that it's a recurring theme in life. Failure. Okay, 388 00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:01,760 Speaker 1: we talked about in golf. Um, you're gonna failed so 389 00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 1: often in golf. If you play any baseball in high school, 390 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:09,680 Speaker 1: literally whatever was you failed many many times. Nobody bats 391 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,840 Speaker 1: a thousand in baseball. Michael Jordan has so many famous 392 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 1: quotes about shooting and missing shots and not wanting to 393 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:20,400 Speaker 1: take final shots. I always want to take the clutch shot. 394 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,160 Speaker 1: I don't care if I miss. Um, most of life 395 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:26,760 Speaker 1: is failure. Look at women, How come on, you think 396 00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,560 Speaker 1: every you've got all these girlfriends, all the relationships, break 397 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:33,159 Speaker 1: up all of them. How many you've had more failed 398 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:36,159 Speaker 1: relationships than you have had successful ones. That's a fact. 399 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:41,439 Speaker 1: Most of life is failure. Plans, ideas, job interviews, anything 400 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:43,480 Speaker 1: you want to do, it's failure. We have to understand 401 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:45,479 Speaker 1: that and come to grips with it. The sooner we do, 402 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,560 Speaker 1: the better we are. And so in the NBA, the 403 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:55,119 Speaker 1: Detroit Pistons brought in Lie Angelo Ball, the middle ball brother, um, 404 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 1: for a training camp contract. Obviously, no guarantees. We're gonna 405 00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 1: bring you in, give you a look, um, And he 406 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:04,639 Speaker 1: didn't play in the two preseason games, and on Monday, 407 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:08,639 Speaker 1: the Pistons waved Lo Angelo Ball. Um. It's gotta be 408 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:10,840 Speaker 1: tough being le Angelo Ball when your brother was the 409 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:14,879 Speaker 1: number two pick and your other brother was, uh, I 410 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:16,960 Speaker 1: don't maybe the number I don't even know what pick 411 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,160 Speaker 1: he was. But he's in Charlotte now and he's making 412 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,119 Speaker 1: a bunch of highlight passes because he does behind the 413 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:25,080 Speaker 1: back passes. Um, And you're like the other brother, and 414 00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:27,640 Speaker 1: you just got cut by the Pistons. And all these 415 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:31,159 Speaker 1: people went and started bashing him on social media. And 416 00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 1: I saw this dude who's pretty well known. His name 417 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:37,360 Speaker 1: is Lethal Shooter. He's like this shooting guru who played 418 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:40,800 Speaker 1: college basketball, played a lot overseas and now he shoots 419 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,199 Speaker 1: with celebrities and he's like made that his brand. So 420 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:45,920 Speaker 1: you know him and Justin Bieber are working on Bieber's 421 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 1: jump shot or whatever, um and all these people are 422 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,159 Speaker 1: bashing Lee into a ball. Lethal Shooter defends him and 423 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:56,960 Speaker 1: I jump in and I'm like, you know, these people 424 00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:01,440 Speaker 1: are losers. If you're bashing some be for simply trying 425 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:07,280 Speaker 1: and failing, you're doing it wrong because why don't you 426 00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:09,800 Speaker 1: get in the arena and give it a shot. Or 427 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 1: maybe you were never good enough, or you never wanted 428 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:13,880 Speaker 1: to work hard enough. You just want to sit back 429 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:16,639 Speaker 1: and make fun of others. And my favorite part about this, 430 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 1: Rob g Before I let you, I don't know if 431 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:21,679 Speaker 1: you have a tangent on this or not, but I 432 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:23,800 Speaker 1: know you guys did it on the Odd Couple on Monday. 433 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:30,399 Speaker 1: But like in gambling, you're gonna win more than you lose, 434 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:37,080 Speaker 1: but barely. Like maybe if you're good fifty six percent 435 00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:40,920 Speaker 1: of the time, that's success in gambling over the long haul. Right, 436 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:44,119 Speaker 1: So I gotta make picks for Fox, and I do 437 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:48,520 Speaker 1: them on this podcast, and I'm betting them in my 438 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:54,080 Speaker 1: own personal bank, various bank accounts like no, no, lie here, 439 00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:57,120 Speaker 1: I have three different gambling places where I make wagers. 440 00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:02,520 Speaker 1: Um and this idea that people are gonna come after 441 00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:04,960 Speaker 1: you and yell at you, Oh you are two and 442 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:08,959 Speaker 1: four this week, you suck, and they don't show up 443 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,200 Speaker 1: when it's five and one or four and oh, or 444 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:13,480 Speaker 1: when I won on my fourteen in one run and 445 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:16,280 Speaker 1: the one point four million dollar gambling contest two years 446 00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:18,439 Speaker 1: ago and I was in I think I was in 447 00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:20,639 Speaker 1: second place. I've got like screen grabs, not that it matters. 448 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:22,200 Speaker 1: I didn't cash at the end of the season, but 449 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 1: let's stop clowning people for failing. Now. I want to 450 00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:31,480 Speaker 1: go after Russell Westbrook or Kyrie Irving for their style 451 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 1: of play. That's another story. But I'm not gonna go 452 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:37,679 Speaker 1: after lee Angelo Ball and say you suck. You couldn't 453 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:40,560 Speaker 1: make the NBA, Like that's just the mere fact that 454 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:43,960 Speaker 1: he got to try out? Did he did? He had 455 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:48,119 Speaker 1: a training camp contract. That's a huge win. Do you 456 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,600 Speaker 1: know how many I've played pick up basketball with some 457 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:52,439 Speaker 1: former pros. I've never been on the court with a 458 00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:56,800 Speaker 1: current NBA player, And I like to think I'm hot shit. 459 00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:00,920 Speaker 1: Now I'm not gonna lie. Of course, I think I'm good. Um, 460 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:03,320 Speaker 1: and I you know, the last guy that I talked 461 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:05,000 Speaker 1: to this about was a fellow who played for the 462 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:08,400 Speaker 1: Clippers named Laman Murray, who was a legend at Cal 463 00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:12,000 Speaker 1: And you know, I mean, the guy's like six eight. 464 00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,520 Speaker 1: He can still shoot the lights out and he talks trash. 465 00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:16,919 Speaker 1: When he's playing pick up, he can still dunk it everything. 466 00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:21,400 Speaker 1: And um, I'm out there asking him, you, oh, lamon, 467 00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:22,600 Speaker 1: let me get in your let me get in the 468 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:24,199 Speaker 1: league you're in. You know, pick up is one thing, 469 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,200 Speaker 1: but let me let me play goes, He goes. Jay. 470 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,840 Speaker 1: You know, you could have fun out here and talk, 471 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,760 Speaker 1: talk shit and all this stuff. You couldn't bring the 472 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:37,200 Speaker 1: ball up the court in the league we're playing. And 473 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:39,239 Speaker 1: I thought, you know, okay, maybe he's joking. But then 474 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:40,480 Speaker 1: I look at him and he's saying him with a 475 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:44,520 Speaker 1: straight face. And even though he says that, I still 476 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:46,480 Speaker 1: want the opportunity, I probably could not do it. I 477 00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:48,439 Speaker 1: would probably fail, But you know what, that would be 478 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:50,760 Speaker 1: so awesome. I would be thrilled to just have the 479 00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:53,240 Speaker 1: chance to get my pocket picked three times in a 480 00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:56,080 Speaker 1: row bringing the basketball up the court against an NBA player. 481 00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:57,879 Speaker 1: I would get laughed out of the gym, but that's fine. 482 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:02,879 Speaker 1: The experience for me would be everything. Um. Anyways, all right, 483 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:04,840 Speaker 1: I've ran rambled long enough. I know there's some people 484 00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:09,080 Speaker 1: laughing their butt off. UM, go ahead, Rob, what do 485 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:10,919 Speaker 1: you have to say? You guys did talk about this 486 00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,600 Speaker 1: on the odd couple we did. We touched on him 487 00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:16,400 Speaker 1: more from the LaVar ball angle because he did take 488 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,040 Speaker 1: a shot at the Pistons for cutting him. You know, 489 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,960 Speaker 1: I didn't even see that. What do you say? He 490 00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:25,720 Speaker 1: said that their organization was raggedy as hell for for cutting, 491 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,560 Speaker 1: for cutting what he calls a lottery talent. See. Now, 492 00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:32,360 Speaker 1: this is where this is what hurts lo Angelo right, Yes, 493 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:35,879 Speaker 1: a thousand percent. And just to go back to what 494 00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:40,640 Speaker 1: you said, I agree with the overall sentiment about not, 495 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:43,520 Speaker 1: you know, attacking people who try and fail at least 496 00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:48,880 Speaker 1: they're trying. Where I would disagree is when you get 497 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:52,959 Speaker 1: to the level of professional sports and if there's guys 498 00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:56,719 Speaker 1: who who you know, think that they're better than what 499 00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:59,760 Speaker 1: they are and then they fail. I do enjoy seeing that. 500 00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:02,720 Speaker 1: You know, I'm not. I'm not gonna lie. Okay, give 501 00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:06,840 Speaker 1: me an example. Go ahead, Um, Smush Parker. I mean, 502 00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 1: even as a Laker fan, I enjoyed watching him flame 503 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:14,359 Speaker 1: out spectacularly because he, you know, had had called himself 504 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:17,000 Speaker 1: the Smush Galade. You know, he was in he was 505 00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:18,879 Speaker 1: saying that he's just as good as Kobe and that 506 00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:21,640 Speaker 1: kind of stuff like that. Ruben Patterson like watching him 507 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:24,680 Speaker 1: get lit up was fun to me. With li Angelo 508 00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 1: Ball though, And it's not his fault. It's his dad's fault. 509 00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:28,800 Speaker 1: His dad's the one who says all the ship that 510 00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:33,880 Speaker 1: he says with him. I give him credit for trying 511 00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:36,879 Speaker 1: and doing everything he can to make it in the NBA. 512 00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:40,560 Speaker 1: And that's where I think that's where the slight, you know, 513 00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:43,240 Speaker 1: discrepancy is is that when you have a guy who 514 00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:46,359 Speaker 1: obviously is not cut out for that line of work, 515 00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:48,520 Speaker 1: He's just not he He couldn't start at U C. 516 00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:49,639 Speaker 1: L A. And I don't know why he thinks he 517 00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:52,600 Speaker 1: can be in the NBA. But I give him credit for, 518 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:55,600 Speaker 1: you know, pursuing it. That's that's fine. It's that the 519 00:27:55,680 --> 00:28:00,680 Speaker 1: people who are there and then they think that they're good, 520 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:04,040 Speaker 1: they're they're they're no longer an underdog story anymore. Now 521 00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:06,120 Speaker 1: they're a guy who's already made it, and yet that's 522 00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:08,160 Speaker 1: where it's fun to make fun of them, guys like 523 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:11,919 Speaker 1: lo Angelo Ball who are never really gonna make it, 524 00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:14,040 Speaker 1: but keep trying. That's where I would agree with. Yeah. 525 00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:16,800 Speaker 1: Now I don't know the background, like, um, I don't 526 00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:18,840 Speaker 1: know what he was like in the practices. Was he 527 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,240 Speaker 1: upset on the bench that he wasn't playing like I mean, 528 00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:26,920 Speaker 1: that's totally different than um, you know, I I the perception, 529 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:28,639 Speaker 1: at least that I have, that he just you know, 530 00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:30,359 Speaker 1: they wanted to see what this guy's got and then 531 00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:32,960 Speaker 1: they cut him. I can't believe the father would say 532 00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:35,359 Speaker 1: something like that, But I should take that back because 533 00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,400 Speaker 1: that's exactly the type of dumb ship that that guy says, 534 00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:41,480 Speaker 1: and it ends up reflecting poorly on his kid, because 535 00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:44,360 Speaker 1: you know what, I don't think anyone else is gonna 536 00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:47,040 Speaker 1: bring him in. Now. If we bring you in, we're 537 00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:49,400 Speaker 1: doing you a solid, we're doing you a favorite, we're 538 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:51,960 Speaker 1: taking a look, we're kicking the tires. And then when 539 00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:55,440 Speaker 1: we don't sign you, and your dad says outlandish stuff, Oh, 540 00:28:55,480 --> 00:29:00,000 Speaker 1: you're gonna blast us as a dumb organization. Really Okay, Well, 541 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:01,600 Speaker 1: do you think anyone else is gonna go out and 542 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:03,120 Speaker 1: pick up the kid now and give him a shot, 543 00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:05,520 Speaker 1: because oh wait, if we cut him, we're gonna get 544 00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:07,200 Speaker 1: this guy ripping us. Do we do we need that? 545 00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:10,200 Speaker 1: Do we need those negative head Let's know, Like, so 546 00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:15,440 Speaker 1: his dad is just he's insufferable. That guy's terrible. But 547 00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:17,480 Speaker 1: there's a lot of guys who are suffering, and not 548 00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:20,440 Speaker 1: just guys, you know, but employees and workers and concessions, 549 00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:23,080 Speaker 1: fans who are hurting with no fans in the stands, 550 00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 1: and but specifically guy Langelo Ball, he's hurting because there's 551 00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:28,000 Speaker 1: no G League this year. And I think they said 552 00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:29,600 Speaker 1: if there is, it's gonna be like in a bubble 553 00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:32,800 Speaker 1: where each team is kind of self quarantined as they play. 554 00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:35,000 Speaker 1: I think there's no working on the details. But if 555 00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:37,680 Speaker 1: they don't have a regular G League, he's the kind 556 00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:40,680 Speaker 1: of guy who words because he has no other avenue 557 00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:44,240 Speaker 1: to to try and latch on somewhere. So this was, 558 00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:46,959 Speaker 1: to me, feels like his last kind of ditch effort, 559 00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:50,080 Speaker 1: and it got discarded before he even got a really 560 00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:52,360 Speaker 1: chance to show anything. I mean, what is he like 561 00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:57,440 Speaker 1: twenty four? Maybe, I mean he could probably play internationally, 562 00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:00,040 Speaker 1: you know, but hey, maybe it's time to pivot. I 563 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,280 Speaker 1: hope you got a backup plan in Lo Angelo. And 564 00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:05,120 Speaker 1: that's where the father goes us, takes us down a 565 00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:07,680 Speaker 1: different road because he's been telling these kids they're gonna 566 00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:10,360 Speaker 1: be NBA lottery picks and um, two of them more 567 00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:12,440 Speaker 1: um and the other guy, you know, he's pretty clearly 568 00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:16,640 Speaker 1: not so. Anyways, very lengthy ramble from me, Sorry to 569 00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:20,240 Speaker 1: uh go down that route. I just there's other stuff 570 00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:22,040 Speaker 1: I want to talk about. This Gus Malls on buy 571 00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:24,720 Speaker 1: out twenty one million dollars. People are freaking out, Like 572 00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:28,800 Speaker 1: really you got freaking out over this? Um Cleveland Indians 573 00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:31,680 Speaker 1: dropping Indians from their name. Like, there's other decent stories, 574 00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:34,320 Speaker 1: will probably hit on them later this week. Just that 575 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:36,800 Speaker 1: Ravens Brown's game took all my energy. That was just 576 00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:40,040 Speaker 1: such a phenomenal game on Monday. And um, obviously the 577 00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:44,120 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson story uh is one for the books. So 578 00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:47,600 Speaker 1: that'll do it for today's show. Thank you for listening. 579 00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:48,640 Speaker 1: We'll talk to you tomorrow.
