1
00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:05,399
Speaker 1: Welcome in. We'll drive in the great episode for eleven.

2
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:08,600
Speaker 1: This episode is always is brought to you by our

3
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:14,120
Speaker 1: good friends at boost Mobile. Now, typically right now is

4
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:19,120
Speaker 1: when I introduce we slide the camera over Demanse. Demanse

5
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 1: is not here at the moment, and there are two

6
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 1: possible explanations for that. One is he knew we were

7
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 1: going to start the show discussing another just gut wrenching,

8
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:39,159
Speaker 1: horrifying Ravens loss to end an otherwise promising season. The

9
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 1: other explanation is, for the first time in the four

10
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 1: plus years he's been doing this show in the two

11
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 1: years he's been doing this show from Los Angeles, Demonse

12
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:01,279
Speaker 1: brand new father of an eleven week gold or no

13
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 1: sorry incorrect, seven week old eight week old to be exact,

14
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 1: for the first time overslept and is running late. Now.

15
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: Typically I would just cover for him and say it's

16
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,320
Speaker 1: the Ravens, and I might have even told him and

17
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: I talked to him. Don't worry. I'm just gonna say

18
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 1: you're too emotionally distraught to discuss the Ravens side of it. However,

19
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: I think it is even more relatable and endearing to

20
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,960
Speaker 1: know that we are about to see a bleary eyed

21
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:38,320
Speaker 1: on you know, something like ninety minutes, sleep up with

22
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:43,479
Speaker 1: a new born, all night demands. When he rolls into

23
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: the studio in the next fifteen or twenty minutes, I'd

24
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 1: have given him the day off, he said, no, I

25
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 1: gotta be there, so he'll be here shortly to discuss

26
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 1: what is going to be an unbelievable NFL wild Card

27
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 1: weekend and a open postseason. Before we get to all

28
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: of that, though, straight to voicemail brought to you by

29
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: our dear friends at Boost Mobile Hawks and Trey Young

30
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: working on a trade. This is not surprising. And again

31
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 1: my three way Southeastern point guard, much maligned Southeastern point

32
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 1: guard trade of Trey John Lamello that has been sitting

33
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: there that I've talked about for more than a year

34
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 1: is still there. Matta is Fia backs Dylan Brooks. That's fine.

35
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 1: Folks talking about Dylan Brooks as if he's a legitimate

36
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: All Star, and folks determining that if Dylan Brooks and

37
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: first of all, you Boogey Cousins trade ideas are outrageous,

38
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: you wouldn't trade Austin Reeves for Dylan Brooks first of all.

39
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: Second of all, the idea. This is now just like

40
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,359
Speaker 1: last year, people were like, won't people think about who

41
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: was the Norman Powell if Lebron James got an All

42
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,279
Speaker 1: Star bitten didn't play. Now folks are trying to discuss

43
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: as if Lebron James shouldn't be on the All Star team,

44
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: and go check Kobe and Mike's stats their final All

45
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,959
Speaker 1: Star years and get back to me if we're talking

46
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 1: about who should and shouldn't be on All Star teams,

47
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 1: and also if Lebron weren't on there, Dylan Brooks is

48
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: not the first guy out and last, but not least,

49
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: you guys, wrote brew Ouce Nick as a shoeless flyer,

50
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 1: Here's the deal. Wilds outed me as this months ago,

51
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: and I want to be very clear I have no

52
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: qualms or shame in that whatsoever. I wear fresh, brand

53
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: new out of the package socks, nice shoes, and when

54
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: I get on a plane, I very often take my

55
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 1: shoes off, and so damn neara health thing. Ankles can

56
00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: swell gets. Seriously, I've heard up there a man of

57
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: my age, I don't take my socks off. That would

58
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: be abhorrent, and I don't have and I have brand

59
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 1: I make sure I wear brand new socks. I have

60
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: no shame in that whatsoever. Now time for the actual show.

61
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 1: Reminded everybody like rate subscribe review to the pod and

62
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: it helps us out a lot. We are stuck on

63
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: YouTube but just around two hundred and twenty eight thousand subscribers.

64
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: We'd love to get that number up and on iTunes

65
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: and Spotify. I again somehow, even though I own the pod,

66
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: I don't know how many subscribers we have. They tell

67
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,160
Speaker 1: me we're doing well, but I would love if you

68
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: guys subscribe there as well. Okay, the Steelers beat the

69
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 1: Ravens in just an epic final game two seventy two

70
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: of the twenty twenty five NFL season. And before I

71
00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: get to how seriously I'm taking the steel the real

72
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: story is, of course, this season from Baltimore, and the

73
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 1: developing story is that at the moment, it's ten forty

74
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 1: five am Eastern on January sixth, what was happening five

75
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: years ago today at this time, it's ten forty five

76
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 1: eastern six years ago at this time, I should say,

77
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:37,039
Speaker 1: and John Harbaugh still has a job. So right now

78
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:43,160
Speaker 1: it's status quo in Baltimore, and we'll get into that

79
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 1: piece of it as well. But first I do want

80
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: to show actual empathy, and I mean this. This isn't

81
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: tongue in cheek. This isn't me being a smart ass,

82
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: this isn't me doing any It's subtle. I told you

83
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: so stuff about Lamar, who had such an interesting game

84
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 1: Sunday Night. But over the last ten years, it is

85
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 1: hard to find a franchise that it's dealt with more

86
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 1: end of season stomach punches than the Baltimore Ravens. And

87
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 1: it's literally nine of the last ten years. So if

88
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: I may go through it just quickly, because this does

89
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 1: the Ravens because they've had such success compared to mediocre

90
00:06:55,880 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: or bad franchises, and because they've got to two time

91
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 1: MVP and a coach people historically have really liked, and

92
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: they've won two Super Bowls this decade. I'm sorry this

93
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 1: century people don't look at them as like a curse

94
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: cursed franchise. But here are how the last ten seasons

95
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 1: have ended in Baltimore. Twenty sixteen, the eight and six

96
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens are playing the nine and five Pittsburgh Steelers.

97
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: It is on Sunday Night Football with the de facto

98
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: division title on the line. The Ravens have a three

99
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: point lead. I don't know if it was a three

100
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: or a four point lead. I'm gonna check to get

101
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 1: because I want to make sure I have it right.

102
00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 1: They have a three point lead with ten seven weeks left,

103
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:07,119
Speaker 1: and Ben Roethlisberger throws just short of the goal line

104
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: to Antonio Brown, who gets hit and stopped and Pittsburgh

105
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: has no timeouts. He stopped short of the goal line

106
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 1: and as he's going down, he turns around reaches the

107
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 1: ball over the back of his head touchdown division title.

108
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 1: Baltimore loses the next week and misses the postseason. The

109
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 1: next year, Baltimore is in a win and in scenario

110
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:48,439
Speaker 1: in Week seventeen against that got nothing to play for

111
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals and Andy Dalton. They have them in a

112
00:08:55,760 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 1: fourth and twelve with forty seconds remaining, and the Bengals

113
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 1: hit a sixty plus yard game winning insane touchdown pass

114
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 1: to end the Ravens season. The next year is the

115
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 1: one year the reason I said nine out of ten

116
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,599
Speaker 1: with heartbreak, the one year that didn't end in heartbreak.

117
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:32,359
Speaker 1: The next year, the team's not good throws a figurative

118
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 1: Hail Mary by going to Lamar Jackson at the mid

119
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: You know, late in the year, Lamar rips off a

120
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 1: bunch of wins, they sneak into the playoffs. They get

121
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 1: absolutely crushed in round one. But you had real reason

122
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: for optimism. Didn't expect necessarily, you didn't expect to look

123
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 1: as bad as you did in Round one against the Chargers.

124
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 1: But whatever. But twenty sixteen, you lose a Week sixteen

125
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 1: game for the division in the final seconds. Twenty seventeen,

126
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 1: you lose a winning you're in game on a fourth

127
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 1: and twelve to Andy Dalton. Twenty nineteen, you have the

128
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 1: number one seed, you have the unanimous MVP, and you

129
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 1: get dog walked by the Tennessee Titans in your first

130
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 1: playoff game. Twenty twenty, it is a ten to three snowy,

131
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 1: cold weather defensive battle in the divisional round. You are

132
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 1: inside the ten yard line going in for the game

133
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:46,079
Speaker 1: tying touchdown as the waning moments of the fourth quarter

134
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 1: approach of the third quarter. In the waning moments of

135
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 1: the third quarter, Lamar Jackson picks six. You lose the

136
00:10:53,000 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 1: game right there. Twenty twenty one, you're eight and three.

137
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson gets banged up. His coach thinks he'll be

138
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 1: back soon. He never comes back. You finish eight to nine.

139
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 1: Twenty twenty two, you're having another solid year. You're nine

140
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 1: to four. Lamar Jackson gets banged up, his coach thinks

141
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 1: he's coming back. You limp to the finish line, but

142
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 1: make the playoffs anyway, and you're seventeen to seventeen in

143
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 1: a playoff game against the Cincinnati Bengals with Tyler Huntley

144
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: at quarterback. You're on the goal line. You run a

145
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 1: quarterback sneak fumble return touchdown ninety nine yards. Lose that

146
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 1: playoff game. Twenty twenty three, you're the number one seed again.

147
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 1: You have a home playoff game. You're the number one

148
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 1: DVOA team, the number one DVOA defense. You have the

149
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 1: MVP of the league at quarterback. You turn the ball

150
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 1: over three times in that game, including a goal line

151
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 1: fumble by Isaay Flowers an end zone pick by Lamar Jackson.

152
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 1: You lose seventeen to seven. Twenty twenty four. Lamar is

153
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 1: the best year of his career, arguably despite not winning MVP.

154
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 1: You get the Buffalo Bills again. You have a furious

155
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 1: second half comeback culminating in a two point conversion attempt

156
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 1: to a wide open Mark Andrewsy fumbles. And twenty twenty five,

157
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 1: you have a season from hell, but you can make

158
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 1: up for all of it by beating your hated rival

159
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers. And you have another unbelievable fourth quarter by Lamar,

160
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 1: including a fourth and seven conversion to Isaiah likely to

161
00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 1: give you a chip shot field goal, and your rookie

162
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 1: kicker Tyler loop Gaxit. That is nine out of ten

163
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 1: years of utter heartbreak, and the one year that was

164
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:14,079
Speaker 1: not included in the heartbreak was getting just annihilated in

165
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: a playoff game Lamar's rookie season. That is torture. And

166
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 1: I got real empathy for Ravens fans, honestly, and it's

167
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 1: one of the reasons I'm so surprised John Harbaugh's still

168
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 1: the coach, because even if that's not his fault, there's

169
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 1: too much scar tissue at this point and it sure

170
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:49,320
Speaker 1: feels like a change needs to be made now. On

171
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 1: the game itself, how do we evaluate Lamar's play such

172
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 1: a weird game because for the first three quarters and

173
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:07,199
Speaker 1: Collinsworth set it on the broadcast early in the fourth quarter,

174
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:12,559
Speaker 1: Lamar was five of ten for sixty seven yards and

175
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 1: wasn't running the ball and had done nothing. And then

176
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter he played the best quarter of

177
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 1: his life, including two of the best plays of his

178
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 1: entire career, the two free rushers sandwiching him, him him

179
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 1: avoiding that sack, and then hitting Zay Flowers on a

180
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 1: fifty plus yard touchdown. As amazing as that was, I

181
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 1: don't know if that was a better play than the

182
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 1: fourth and seven season on the line, perfect throw and

183
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 1: even better catch by likely to set up the chip

184
00:14:52,600 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 1: shot field goal. So Lamar he in sports, it doesn't

185
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 1: matter how big of a hole you dig yourself. Ask

186
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: my guy Trevor with his foreign interception playoff game, if

187
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 1: your brilliance digs you out of it. The last two years,

188
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 1: the game ending losses for Baltimore, it is felt like

189
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 1: Lamar helped dig them a big hole and then dug

190
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 1: them this close to out of it with brilliant play,

191
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:45,239
Speaker 1: and then mistakes by other people cost him the full vindication.

192
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 1: Mark Andrews cost him a shot at overtime and Tyler

193
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 1: loop cost him a win. But how do we do

194
00:15:54,320 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 1: the math on that? It be ridiculous to pin the

195
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 1: loss on Lamar, but it would also be ridiculous to

196
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 1: give him credit for coming through in a game that

197
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 1: they lost, and in part they lost because in the

198
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 1: Bills game last year and the Steelers game this year

199
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 1: really really shaky first half performances including a turnover or

200
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 1: in the Bills game, a couple turnovers. So that part

201
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 1: is hard to parse and history probably won't remember the

202
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 1: details as much as more big games that the Ravens

203
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 1: were favored in. And that's the other piece that I

204
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 1: didn't even mentioned in this Favored in that game against

205
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, favored in the game against the Bills, favored

206
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 1: in the game against Pittsburgh, lost loss loss. Now, the

207
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 1: very end of the game, should John Harbaugh have attempted

208
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:13,679
Speaker 1: to put Tyler Loop in a better position? The easy

209
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 1: answer is yes, why didn't he? The uncomfortable answer is

210
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 1: because Derrick Henry had a fumbling problem this year, and

211
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 1: all of that matters. The fact that the Ravens moved

212
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:48,680
Speaker 1: on from Justin Tucker to a rookie kicker mattered this year.

213
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 1: The fact that Derrick Henry fumbled early in the year

214
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 1: and seemed to be in his head about it, despite

215
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 1: how brilliant he was. If it wasn't in his head,

216
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:01,360
Speaker 1: it wasn't Harball's because you at fourteen seconds, you had

217
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,119
Speaker 1: one time out, and you were staring at a forty

218
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 1: one yard field goal in the toughest stadium to kick

219
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:15,359
Speaker 1: in the sport. And instead of asking Derrick Henry to

220
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 1: make it a thirty five yard field goal or maybe

221
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:21,199
Speaker 1: a zero yard field goal if he pops one, you

222
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 1: made it a forty four yard field goal because you

223
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 1: don't want to risk the turnover. Also, Lamar told us

224
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:33,919
Speaker 1: that not long before Tyler looped, and I don't know

225
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 1: if Harbaugh knew this. Not long before Tyler loop goes

226
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 1: to take the kick that will define his entire NFL career,

227
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 1: most likely Lamar flipped out on him on the sidelines.

228
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 1: He kicked the ball out of bounds. That's got to

229
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 1: be tough for the rookie kicker. I don't know how

230
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 1: confident he was walking into that kick, and we only

231
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 1: the cameras didn't catch that. Lamar told us that after

232
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 1: the game. But ultimately the reason the Ravens lost was

233
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 1: because they were not a good team this year. They

234
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 1: were an eight to nine team. In every fashion, they

235
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 1: had moments of brilliant defense and moments of horrific defense.

236
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 1: And that was over the course of the season, and

237
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 1: in the final game of the year, their quarterback had

238
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 1: moments of brilliant play and moments of the shakiest play

239
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:37,160
Speaker 1: of his career. That was all season, and in Week eighteen.

240
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 1: They were coached by a special teams coach, and the

241
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 1: special teams were shaky throughout the season, and then they

242
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:55,159
Speaker 1: lost it for him in Week eighteen. That was not

243
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 1: a great football team, and that was not a team that,

244
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,920
Speaker 1: had they won, they were gonna be super Dans, even

245
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,399
Speaker 1: though people tried to convince themselves they would be. That

246
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 1: was a team that needed the Cleveland Browns and Shardoor

247
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 1: Sanders to win a Week seventeen game just to make

248
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 1: Week eighteen matter for them. And so why will this

249
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 1: team be different next year? Well, right now, as I

250
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:30,399
Speaker 1: keep checking my phone for an update, it doesn't look

251
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 1: like they're going to be. Which Lamar was asked after

252
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 1: the game if he wants Harbaugh back next year, and

253
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,399
Speaker 1: he said, I can't focus on that right now. We

254
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 1: just lost, which is a damning and telling answer. And

255
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 1: I have been of the informed belief that Lamar is

256
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 1: over John Harbaugh. Lamar's answered to that question just furthered

257
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:30,680
Speaker 1: that belief, which again is not naked speculation. And if

258
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 1: I were the Ravens, I'd almost always picked the player

259
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 1: over the coach. It doesn't seem like they have any

260
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:44,120
Speaker 1: interest in moving on from Lamar, so I just assumed

261
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 1: they knew they had to move on from Harball. And again,

262
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 1: by the time you listen to this, maybe that will

263
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 1: have happened, but it has not happened yet. And the

264
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 1: Lamar contract situation becomes very tricky because he has got

265
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 1: two years left on what is now a drastically under

266
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 1: market deal that averages fifty two million dollars a year,

267
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:22,440
Speaker 1: the top of the market's now sixty. Also, they need

268
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 1: to rework that deal because it's got a cap hit

269
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:30,119
Speaker 1: of seventy five million dollars next year and the year after,

270
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 1: which is completely untenable. And Lamar, who turns twenty nine

271
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:39,119
Speaker 1: tomorrow and is coming off his worst year as a

272
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:46,119
Speaker 1: pro and a year with five injuries, is going to

273
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:58,160
Speaker 1: want a top of market, fully guaranteed contract. And if

274
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:04,119
Speaker 1: the Ravens keep John harm what was already going to

275
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 1: be a very tough contract negotiation for the Baltimore Ravens

276
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 1: With Lamar, I think we'll get that much tougher. So

277
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 1: I don't want to spend too much time right now

278
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:30,679
Speaker 1: on the Lamar future Harball future angle, just because I

279
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:36,879
Speaker 1: still feel like this could become dated in hours, because

280
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 1: I still feel like the Ravens are probably moving on

281
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 1: from Harball, but it hasn't happened yet. We will get

282
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:49,919
Speaker 1: Demands's thoughts on this, and I will explain why I

283
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:53,679
Speaker 1: think the Steelers are an actual threat in just a moment.

284
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:57,000

333
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 1: These pictures you sent me or you're Maddie sent me

334
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:41,160
Speaker 1: last night. I mean she's she's approaching her two month birthday.

335
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:47,199
Speaker 1: She is a chunky, gorgeous baby. Please thank Maddie for

336
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:50,440
Speaker 1: those pictures. Because of the time difference, I didn't I

337
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 1: didn't respond.

338
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 2: Immediately the but good to see you, good to see you.

339
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,879
Speaker 1: How are you dealing doing with and dealing with the

340
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:00,879
Speaker 1: Raven's loss?

341
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,120
Speaker 2: You know, it's it's unfortunate. I would have never seen

342
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:10,439
Speaker 2: it coming down to to our new kicker. But I

343
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:13,359
Speaker 2: can't blame it on the guy. I think Lamar Lamar

344
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 2: did well and I think in a big time spot.

345
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 2: I think I love that likely caught a pass to

346
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:20,639
Speaker 2: keep us in it, having the year that he's had.

347
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 2: But and I also think, you know, the Lamar not

348
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 2: being able to comment on Harball after the game probably

349
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:28,439
Speaker 2: means that he's more out on him than he is

350
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 2: in But uh well, yeah, it's it's unfortunate way to

351
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 2: go out. But they fought, they fought, But yeah, it's

352
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:36,359
Speaker 2: it's tough.

353
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 1: I want to say one thing to the audience on

354
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 1: Lamar being out on Harball more out than it Okay,

355
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 1: and I shouldn't you know how they say like if

356
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 1: you have to explain a joke, it's not funny. Yep,

357
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:56,879
Speaker 1: there is ah this I don't quite have my finger

358
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 1: on how to phrase this, but there's a sports talk

359
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:05,119
Speaker 1: version of that same lesson, okay that I'm going to

360
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:16,640
Speaker 1: violate here when I have spent countless segments on this

361
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 1: show and on TV of pointing out the public record

362
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 1: of the curious John Harbaugh Lamar Jackson relationship and the

363
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 1: uncertainty about injury status and the different disconnects, and shined

364
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 1: as bright of a light as I could have on

365
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 1: that Mike Preston column, which was it might have all

366
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 1: been accurate, but still a hit piece on Lamar. Maybe, folks,

367
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 1: I'm doing that because there are certain elements to this

368
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 1: story that I am not able to divulge publicly, but

369
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 1: that corroborate all of the what we would call circumstantial

370
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 1: evidence that there is a real problem with that relationship.

371
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 1: And so I keep trying to point at the at

372
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 1: the at the publicly known things, right And another one

373
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 1: was of the publicly known things, was Lamar being asked

374
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 1: do you want your coach back? And him saying I

375
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 1: can't talk about this right now, because and Brew put

376
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 1: this perfectly on the show yesterday, as distraught as he was.

377
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 1: If that question was, Hey, do you want Derrick Henry Back.

378
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 1: Do you think he would have Like, I can't talk

379
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 1: about that right now, exactly, Jamison. You can't ask me

380
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 1: that right now, of.

381
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 2: Course, not right. And I feel like you get into

382
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 2: those types of arguments with like your spouse or something,

383
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 2: and it's like, I don't want to talk about it

384
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 2: right now. It means that it's like the answer that's

385
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 2: more complicated.

386
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, and so so I just I the Ravens keeping Harball,

387
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 1: if they do, Deman say, is a massive development. I

388
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 1: would argue the Ravens keeping him is a bigger story

389
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 1: than them firing him, okay, because I think the Ravens

390
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 1: keeping Harball puts Lamar's future with the team in question,

391
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 1: and I think that I'm not again, I don't want

392
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 1: to spend too much time on that piece of it

393
00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 1: right here, because I don't know. They might fire him

394
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 1: today and then this all becomes moot. But if by

395
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 1: the time we're together on Thursday, Hardball still the coach,

396
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 1: that is still the biggest non playoff story. Now, just

397
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 1: quickly on the Steelers, if I may.

398
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, contender, I think this, I say it again, content

399
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 2: you said they'd be a sneaky contender team in the postseason.

400
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 1: Kinder is I don't think they could win four playoff games,

401
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:35,040
Speaker 1: but I think they can beat the Texans. And this

402
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 1: was as weird and you guys, listen. I am not

403
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 1: an Aaron Rodgers guy, but I have to be fair

404
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 1: about what I'm seeing in the last five weeks. Save

405
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 1: the Cleveland game, which was an abomination, he's been excellent.

406
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:59,720
Speaker 1: They now get DK Metcalf back. They scored twenty six

407
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 1: against what had been a red hot for two months

408
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 1: Ravens defense, despite missing extra point and getting stuffed at

409
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 1: the one yard line that easily could have been a

410
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:16,719
Speaker 1: thirty point game for them. Gain Well is an excellent player.

411
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:21,240
Speaker 1: Jalen Warren is an underrated player. TJ. Watt is back.

412
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 1: They are now home against a Texans team that has

413
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 1: not been great down the stretch, a Texans team that

414
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 1: just it's not they've been bad. It feels like they

415
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:35,440
Speaker 1: peaked like Week fourteen fifteen ish and have been holding

416
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 1: on to a degree. I I'm not dismissing Pittsburgh. I

417
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 1: did for the most of the year. I'm not dismissing

418
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 1: them at this point. I think you're dismissing them.

419
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 2: But I mean, I do think at the Texans is

420
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 2: where it would stop.

421
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 1: But yeah, if they again, I don't know.

422
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:01,719
Speaker 2: They didn't even have DJ mecalf last week and they

423
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 2: they're getting them back. Got DK back why and then

424
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 2: some more rest with his lung.

425
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 1: If if they beat the if they beat the Texans,

426
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 1: do I think they would have a shot going to Denver?

427
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 1: I would do. I think they would have a shot

428
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 1: if they ended up being the team that went to

429
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 1: New England. They already beat New England.

430
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 2: You don't think he can no early and so this

431
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 2: is a.

432
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:49,480
Speaker 1: This is a take based purely on speculation. I think

433
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 1: there is a chance that we see in Aaron Rodgers

434
00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 1: that is more willing to get hit once the playoffs start.

435
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:09,120
Speaker 1: That part of his quick, quick, quick, quick trigger was

436
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:15,400
Speaker 1: I need I cannot right be injured for the postseason.

437
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:18,080
Speaker 1: And you even saw in the second half of that

438
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:21,040
Speaker 1: Ravens game. Yeah, he hung in there a little bit

439
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 1: longer and he ended up taking one big shot, scrambled down.

440
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:28,040
Speaker 1: He took one big shot, was grabbing his wrist and

441
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 1: that could be dangerous. And Houston's front is extraordinary. But

442
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:36,720
Speaker 1: I think there's an element of he might be willing

443
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:38,759
Speaker 1: to hang it, hang in there a little bit more

444
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 1: when he knows, in all likelihood, these are my last

445
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:49,960
Speaker 1: playoff moments, and so I find that intriguing. All right,

446
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:52,160
Speaker 1: let's go to the NFC and Saturday Night's game.

447
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:57,080
Speaker 2: All right, Saturday Night, Donald and the Seahawks they secured

448
00:34:57,120 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 2: the one seed beating the Niners in that game. Donald

449
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:02,760
Speaker 2: is back the postseason, back to back seasons with fourteen games,

450
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 2: the second quarterback, only second quarterback ever to do that.

451
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 2: You've been pretty high on them all year, but now

452
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 2: their favorites. How do you feel about them being Super

453
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:11,880
Speaker 2: Bowl favorites?

454
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 1: Well, listen, I think it's a testament to that there

455
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 1: is no perfect team this year. That a I hate

456
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:30,719
Speaker 1: to be this simplistic, but it is remarkable that a

457
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:33,560
Speaker 1: team with Sam Donald as its quarterback can be the

458
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:38,440
Speaker 1: favorites to win the Super Bowl. And I know some

459
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 1: folks might be like Nick, what more does Darnald have

460
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:46,400
Speaker 1: to prove back to back fourteen win seasons. Here is

461
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:51,279
Speaker 1: here's the cold truth on Donald. He has not been

462
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 1: the same player since the first Rams game. First nine

463
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:59,839
Speaker 1: games of the year to monse a one to seven

464
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:07,840
Speaker 1: team rating, one seventeen seven touchdowns, six picks, ten yards,

465
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 1: per attempt, just super elite play. Since that Rams game,

466
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 1: which we're talking about, eight games, eight touchdowns, eight picks,

467
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 1: an eighty three rating, seven point two yards per attempt,

468
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:33,319
Speaker 1: So the production has plummeted. And you might say, oh,

469
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:37,040
Speaker 1: that's that one Rams game in there. If you take that,

470
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 1: if you just go after that, it's still in seven games,

471
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:47,359
Speaker 1: eight touchdowns, four picks, a ninety one rating, seven point

472
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 1: four yards per attempt. Darnold did not play well down

473
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:58,919
Speaker 1: the stretch. That concerns me with that said, that team

474
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 1: is awesome, flatly awesome. The defense is great. Donald at

475
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:11,200
Speaker 1: least is not. You know, he'll take shots, he plays

476
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:20,839
Speaker 1: with confidence. I think Mike McDonald is excellent, and right

477
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:30,359
Speaker 1: now I I would pick the Rams to beat them,

478
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:37,960
Speaker 1: but the Rams gotta get there and it's gonna be

479
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:44,480
Speaker 1: a tough path. Now, the Rams obviously should handle Carolina

480
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:47,319
Speaker 1: in round one, but they lost in Carolina this year.

481
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:49,279
Speaker 1: I mean, I think they'll win that game.

482
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:52,319
Speaker 2: I don't think Carolina is better that they lost initially. Huh,

483
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 2: So maybe they won't overlook him this time because it's

484
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:55,560
Speaker 2: the Panthers.

485
00:37:56,840 --> 00:38:00,359
Speaker 1: I yes and no, yes, I understand that, but also

486
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:02,520
Speaker 1: I don't think they're gonna overlook a playoff.

487
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:06,640
Speaker 2: But I think the.

488
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:13,719
Speaker 1: That the Seahawks finishing the way they did. And let

489
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:15,960
Speaker 1: me say one other thing, because we talked about it

490
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:19,480
Speaker 1: last week, Donald found himself in the exact same position

491
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:22,279
Speaker 1: who was in last year winning be the one seed,

492
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:26,080
Speaker 1: losing all to five, and they won. Now, that was

493
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 1: again a game much more about the Seahawks defense and

494
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 1: what it did to Brock Purdy than it was about Donald.

495
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:39,279
Speaker 1: But Donald didn't melt. And for the Niners, I think

496
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 1: that was a season is too. I don't want to

497
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 1: say season ending because I think they can win their

498
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:53,800
Speaker 1: first playoff game, but I think the Niners needed to

499
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:58,440
Speaker 1: somehow steal that game against Seattle, get rest, get the

500
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:02,520
Speaker 1: one seed, be in good weather at home to have

501
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 1: a real shot to find a way back to the

502
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:14,279
Speaker 1: super Bowl. Now starting the playoffs in Philly, and then

503
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:19,480
Speaker 1: if you win that game, going either to Seattle or

504
00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:28,239
Speaker 1: to Los Angeles is just too much and so and

505
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:30,120
Speaker 1: folks might be like, why are you not saying they

506
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:32,839
Speaker 1: could go to Chicago because the sixth seed can't play

507
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:35,760
Speaker 1: the two seed in round two of the playoffs. Everybody

508
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:39,319
Speaker 1: gets this confused about the NFL reseeding. It's also why

509
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 1: if you're a Pats fan the Pats, the way the

510
00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:48,279
Speaker 1: seeding fell, it's impossible for them to play Buffalo until

511
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 1: the conference championship game, which I'm If I'm the Pats,

512
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 1: I love because if the Pats win, then the seven

513
00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:03,200
Speaker 1: seeds out the sixth seed, and if Buffalo wins, they

514
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:06,200
Speaker 1: would be by definition, if the Pats have won, the

515
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:10,440
Speaker 1: worst seed remaining, so they would go to Denver. So

516
00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:21,160
Speaker 1: the only thing that you know after about the round

517
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:26,920
Speaker 1: two of the NFL Playoffs is that the three seed

518
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:32,520
Speaker 1: cannot play the one seed in round two, and the

519
00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:36,359
Speaker 1: sixth seed cannot play the two seed in round two.

520
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:39,680
Speaker 1: Obviously the two seed can't play the one seed round two.

521
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:42,360
Speaker 1: So I'll say that again. When you're talking about potential

522
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:47,399
Speaker 1: round two matchups, you know, no matter what, the two

523
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:51,360
Speaker 1: or the three can't play the one, and the six

524
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:57,839
Speaker 1: can never play the two. And I'll add one other thing,

525
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:00,920
Speaker 1: if the seven wins, they all always play the one.

526
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 1: Those are the things you know about when the NFL

527
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:06,680
Speaker 1: Playoffs are going to reseed. If that helps you think

528
00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:09,719
Speaker 1: about what potential round two matchups we could get.

529
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:13,239
Speaker 2: All right, let's talk MVP but a week ago it

530
00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:16,840
Speaker 2: seemed like MVP was locked up in May's favor. But

531
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:20,400
Speaker 2: after another week of football and May and Stafford blowing

532
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:23,040
Speaker 2: their two opponents out, Stafford is back at the lead

533
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 2: at minus one seventy and Drake is plus one forty five.

534
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:29,200
Speaker 2: Does this surprise you that this happening?

535
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:34,719
Speaker 1: We can think, right, here's what surprised me. I think

536
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:39,640
Speaker 1: the sports books screwed this up. The sports books to me,

537
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:46,600
Speaker 1: acted with far too much confidence a week ago when

538
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:52,360
Speaker 1: they had May like minus four hundred. This isn't something

539
00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:59,920
Speaker 1: that is easy to handicap without actually hearing from the voters.

540
00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:04,200
Speaker 1: It's fifty voters and you don't know what they're going

541
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:12,279
Speaker 1: to value, and when it's a two man race, having

542
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:17,920
Speaker 1: just the snap reaction. And this is to me going

543
00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:23,960
Speaker 1: to because we have talked about it all, you know,

544
00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:28,640
Speaker 1: all year long, and because we have discussed the odds

545
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:35,080
Speaker 1: as if those are actually predictive in this marketplace, Folks

546
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:40,440
Speaker 1: are I think going to be like man Stafford lighting

547
00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:45,200
Speaker 1: up the Cardinals one MMVP because they're going to assume

548
00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:50,400
Speaker 1: that Drake May was this huge leader after week seventeen

549
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:53,919
Speaker 1: based on nothing other than it's where the sports book

550
00:42:54,000 --> 00:43:01,880
Speaker 1: set it, and when it comes to voting setting odds

551
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:04,560
Speaker 1: for something that is done by a vote where there

552
00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:11,360
Speaker 1: is no polling, they're just guessing. And I said a

553
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:14,120
Speaker 1: week ago, I spent a lot of time about how

554
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 1: I did not want MVP to become December Player of

555
00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:21,400
Speaker 1: the Month, and that's what it felt like. It was

556
00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:24,920
Speaker 1: leaning towards I think Matt Stafford is the rightful MVP,

557
00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:30,800
Speaker 1: and I don't think strength of schedule is everything. But

558
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:35,600
Speaker 1: I also think that if the best argument may has

559
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:38,120
Speaker 1: is we're the two seed and he's the five seed,

560
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:41,759
Speaker 1: that's where strength of schedule to me, does matter, Like,

561
00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:45,800
Speaker 1: all right, if you flip their schedules, could the Rams

562
00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:48,360
Speaker 1: have won fourteen games in the Patriots of one twelve?

563
00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:55,440
Speaker 1: And then the the one seed versus five seed argument? Also,

564
00:43:57,400 --> 00:44:02,160
Speaker 1: if you're saying or two seed versus five seed, the

565
00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:05,640
Speaker 1: other truth is the Rams are not the five seed.

566
00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:11,600
Speaker 1: They're the one seed if they can hold a touchdown

567
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:16,680
Speaker 1: in overtime lead against Seattle when Stafford's on the bench

568
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:20,239
Speaker 1: the whole time, they're up thirty seven thirty in overtime,

569
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:23,560
Speaker 1: and Stafford's the one seed if they hold that game.

570
00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:31,759
Speaker 1: And I just think Stafford's numbers against very stiff competition

571
00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:36,240
Speaker 1: are and I understand Drake May's got great numbers.

572
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:39,719
Speaker 2: A Drake makes better numbers than Stafford. I think up

573
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:42,800
Speaker 2: until like a week or maybe two weeks ago, and

574
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:44,840
Speaker 2: Stafford obviously had the harder schedule.

575
00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:48,359
Speaker 1: Can I can I just make this point, he still

576
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:51,880
Speaker 1: does not have better numbers than Stafford. I understand that

577
00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:56,359
Speaker 1: some of the advanced metrics favored Drake May. But Matt

578
00:44:56,440 --> 00:45:00,839
Speaker 1: Stafford this year threw for forty seven hundred yards. Drake

579
00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:04,839
Speaker 1: May threw for forty four hundred yards. They both had

580
00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:12,680
Speaker 1: eight interceptions. Matt Stafford through fifteen more touchdowns. Matt Stafford

581
00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:17,160
Speaker 1: had forty six touchdowns. Drake May had thirty one. Now,

582
00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:21,640
Speaker 1: Drake May's passer rating is four points higher, he has

583
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:25,799
Speaker 1: a higher yards per attempt, and he obviously has been

584
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:29,120
Speaker 1: the more prolific rusher. He rushed for four point fifty

585
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:35,840
Speaker 1: and four touchdowns, so total yards, he barely clips Stafford.

586
00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:41,719
Speaker 1: But even when you add the rushing touchdowns, Stafford has

587
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:49,440
Speaker 1: eleven more. And it's the Internet's claiming Matt Stafford is

588
00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:53,120
Speaker 1: thirteen one yard touchdown passes. He does not. He has

589
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:56,560
Speaker 1: eight one yard touchdown passes, and Drake may I believe

590
00:45:56,640 --> 00:46:02,160
Speaker 1: has four and the Rams were not a good power

591
00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:05,480
Speaker 1: running team. They needed to like It wasn't just like

592
00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:08,560
Speaker 1: stat patting, It was pretty sick. Throws to Devonte Adams

593
00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:12,400
Speaker 1: was the best way to score. I just guys, got

594
00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:16,680
Speaker 1: forty six touchdowns eight picks in the best division in

595
00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:23,880
Speaker 1: football against a really tough schedule. Is won the passing

596
00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:28,840
Speaker 1: title in yards by one p fifty and the passing

597
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:33,400
Speaker 1: touchdown title by a dozen and only threw eight picks.

598
00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:41,279
Speaker 1: I don't I think it's Stafford. If it's may So

599
00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:44,080
Speaker 1: be it, it's not a travesty. But I think it's

600
00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:52,480
Speaker 1: Stafford and Demons real quick. Who do you think is

601
00:46:52,560 --> 00:47:06,239
Speaker 1: going to finish third? M Look at the smile on

602
00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:07,959
Speaker 1: my face and see if you can guess.

603
00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:10,920
Speaker 2: Oh, is it Trevor?

604
00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:18,560
Speaker 1: I think so. I think Trevor's going to finish third? Thirteen?

605
00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:20,560
Speaker 2: Is that an accolades.

606
00:47:21,680 --> 00:47:21,719
Speaker 1: It?

607
00:47:22,160 --> 00:47:22,360
Speaker 2: For me?

608
00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:22,640
Speaker 1: It is?

609
00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:25,759
Speaker 2: Honestly well, I was just about to say that third

610
00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:27,160
Speaker 2: and MVP is pretty good.

611
00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:28,919
Speaker 1: Third and MVP is pretty sick.

612
00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:30,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, And.

613
00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:36,520
Speaker 1: So they went thirteen and four. But more importantly than that,

614
00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:42,200
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence over the final six games of the season,

615
00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:53,480
Speaker 1: nineteen touchdowns, one turnover, and let me get this exactly right,

616
00:47:53,840 --> 00:47:58,960
Speaker 1: two hundred and ninety yards per game. Nineteen touchdowns, one turnover,

617
00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:02,919
Speaker 1: two hundred ninety yards per game. They finished the year

618
00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:09,399
Speaker 1: on an eight game winning streak. Pretty pretty unbelievable finishing kick.

619
00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:13,240

633
00:48:56,400 --> 00:48:59,520
Speaker 1: let's talk a little black Monday lost jobs.

634
00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:03,520
Speaker 2: We got the Raiders Falcons Browns and the Cardinals all

635
00:49:03,680 --> 00:49:06,520
Speaker 2: fired their coaches yesterday, and let's not forget the Giants

636
00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:09,320
Speaker 2: and Titans also fired their coaches earlier in the season.

637
00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:12,320
Speaker 2: Of those six openings, what do you think is the

638
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:13,399
Speaker 2: most attractive job?

639
00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:22,040
Speaker 1: I mean, those are some of the worst jobs in football. Yeah,

640
00:49:24,040 --> 00:49:27,560
Speaker 1: I mean, I think the Jets is the only like

641
00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:32,320
Speaker 1: job that's in contention that's to be worse than the Browns,

642
00:49:37,120 --> 00:49:44,040
Speaker 1: maybe Giants. I guess the Giants. But here the problem

643
00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:49,239
Speaker 1: with the Giants is this, Yes, they're a prestige franchise,

644
00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:57,680
Speaker 1: but Joe Shane stayed. I don't get that. And they

645
00:49:57,920 --> 00:50:07,880
Speaker 1: have since they fired Tom Coughlin. It's been ten seasons, Demonse.

646
00:50:10,800 --> 00:50:16,479
Speaker 1: They had Ben McAdoo who lasted a season and a half,

647
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:24,760
Speaker 1: Pat Shermer two years, Joe Judge two years, Brian Dable

648
00:50:25,320 --> 00:50:30,480
Speaker 1: three and a half years. It's been a pretty quick trigger.

649
00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:37,440
Speaker 1: And I don't know if they do or don't have

650
00:50:38,360 --> 00:50:41,480
Speaker 1: the quarterback, and.

651
00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:46,279
Speaker 2: So that is I feel like there's the most something there. Well,

652
00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:50,080
Speaker 2: I guess the Browns with shadur In chadur In h Dart,

653
00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:53,600
Speaker 2: I feel like are damn near the same thing. Huh.

654
00:50:54,880 --> 00:50:58,719
Speaker 1: So I'm not a huge dart guy. I think he's

655
00:50:58,760 --> 00:51:02,440
Speaker 1: a bit of a knucklehead. Yeah, and maybe and maybe

656
00:51:02,600 --> 00:51:07,640
Speaker 1: Shadoor is going to with a full off season turn

657
00:51:07,760 --> 00:51:12,879
Speaker 1: into something. I know this is like not a popular take,

658
00:51:14,600 --> 00:51:18,160
Speaker 1: but again, I have to just be honest about what

659
00:51:18,320 --> 00:51:24,680
Speaker 1: we saw. Even by quarterback standards, Shador was really like

660
00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:31,000
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback standards, Shoudor really struggled. Shoudor finishes this year

661
00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:40,880
Speaker 1: amongst thirty seven qualifying quarterbacks, thirty third or worse in

662
00:51:41,120 --> 00:51:49,960
Speaker 1: passer rating QBR, touchdown interception ratio, completion percentage. He threw

663
00:51:50,040 --> 00:51:52,440
Speaker 1: for one hundred and seventy five yards per game, had

664
00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:56,560
Speaker 1: seven touchdowns, ten interceptions. I'm not sure how many lost fumbles,

665
00:51:57,040 --> 00:52:01,640
Speaker 1: a sixty eight rating and dead LAS nineteen point zero

666
00:52:01,800 --> 00:52:07,840
Speaker 1: QBR if you care about QBR that is. And the

667
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:13,280
Speaker 1: Browns have the sixth pick, so I think maybe Shaudor

668
00:52:13,440 --> 00:52:18,880
Speaker 1: goes into next year as the incumbent. But I am

669
00:52:20,239 --> 00:52:24,680
Speaker 1: if Shaudor becomes a very high quality backup that is

670
00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:30,000
Speaker 1: a huge success as a fifth round pick. Like if

671
00:52:30,040 --> 00:52:38,320
Speaker 1: Shaudor becomes what's a good If Shador has Jacoby Brissette's career,

672
00:52:38,760 --> 00:52:43,040
Speaker 1: that is awesome, That is amazing, values a fifth round pick,

673
00:52:43,400 --> 00:52:44,759
Speaker 1: and that would be great for him.

674
00:52:47,440 --> 00:52:47,759
Speaker 2: It is.

675
00:52:50,280 --> 00:52:54,800
Speaker 1: Surprising how many people, and maybe a'll end up being wrong,

676
00:52:55,880 --> 00:53:01,200
Speaker 1: how many people see bigger and better than that for him.

677
00:53:02,600 --> 00:53:07,279
Speaker 1: I don't, I don't. But also the Browns might you know,

678
00:53:07,520 --> 00:53:12,040
Speaker 1: might just not know what they're doing. Uh, But I

679
00:53:12,320 --> 00:53:17,400
Speaker 1: guess if I were power ranking the jobs, demanse, I

680
00:53:17,520 --> 00:53:23,200
Speaker 1: would go the Titans. Job is dependent on do you

681
00:53:23,320 --> 00:53:25,640
Speaker 1: believe in cam Ward. If you think cam Ward is

682
00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:33,439
Speaker 1: gonna be a star, then that's a good job. I'm

683
00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:46,520
Speaker 1: gonna go Giants one, I guess, Falcons two, Titans, three Cardinals,

684
00:53:46,719 --> 00:53:52,760
Speaker 1: four Raiders, five brown six. These are It's why maybe

685
00:53:52,840 --> 00:53:56,440
Speaker 1: this is why. I don't know if there's an argument

686
00:53:57,640 --> 00:54:00,239
Speaker 1: for Baltimore to keep Harbar or get rid of them.

687
00:54:01,160 --> 00:54:02,959
Speaker 1: They argument to get rid of it is you become

688
00:54:03,040 --> 00:54:08,720
Speaker 1: the best job available by ten country Miles. The argument

689
00:54:09,760 --> 00:54:11,640
Speaker 1: to keep him is if you fire him, you might

690
00:54:11,719 --> 00:54:14,600
Speaker 1: have to just hire Kevin Stefanski, who the Browns just fired.

691
00:54:15,080 --> 00:54:17,000
Speaker 1: So I don't even I don't know what you do.

692
00:54:18,200 --> 00:54:21,000
Speaker 1: Speaking of the Browns, let's get to Miles Garrett breaking

693
00:54:21,040 --> 00:54:21,760
Speaker 1: the sack record.

694
00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:26,600
Speaker 2: Miles Garrett broke the single sack record. On Sunday. Where

695
00:54:26,640 --> 00:54:29,120
Speaker 2: does this rank among the top pass rushing seasons you've

696
00:54:29,160 --> 00:54:29,600
Speaker 2: ever seen?

697
00:54:31,080 --> 00:54:36,160
Speaker 1: Listen, I didn't see it. But Reggie White in nineteen

698
00:54:36,200 --> 00:54:40,680
Speaker 1: eighty seven had twenty one sacks, Demonse, he played twelve games,

699
00:54:42,040 --> 00:54:46,680
Speaker 1: So that to me is the best. And this is

700
00:54:46,920 --> 00:54:50,759
Speaker 1: right at us. Like twenty one sacks and twelve games

701
00:54:50,800 --> 00:54:54,439
Speaker 1: by Reggie White. It's just so sick. But Garrett doing

702
00:54:54,560 --> 00:54:57,920
Speaker 1: this for a team that always trailed, that didn't face.

703
00:54:58,560 --> 00:55:01,360
Speaker 1: It's the fewest pass it stempts for a team is

704
00:55:01,440 --> 00:55:04,520
Speaker 1: faced for a season in which they had a twenty

705
00:55:04,600 --> 00:55:07,839
Speaker 1: one plus SAT guy. He was also great against the run,

706
00:55:08,680 --> 00:55:10,800
Speaker 1: so I you know it is. I think it's the

707
00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:14,600
Speaker 1: best pure pass rushing season in thirty years. I'll go

708
00:55:14,680 --> 00:55:17,600
Speaker 1: at least that far. And what else do you have

709
00:55:17,680 --> 00:55:18,200
Speaker 1: on this name?

710
00:55:18,280 --> 00:55:20,520
Speaker 2: Do you think the Bengals will begin sore losers? When

711
00:55:20,920 --> 00:55:22,680
Speaker 2: when the Browns stopped the game to celebrate it.

712
00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:33,319
Speaker 1: I I'm stupefied that the Bengals made a big deal

713
00:55:33,360 --> 00:55:33,520
Speaker 1: of this.

714
00:55:34,840 --> 00:55:40,000
Speaker 2: Well, like it's their they're in their division. Like, man,

715
00:55:40,080 --> 00:55:40,800
Speaker 2: we don't care about it.

716
00:55:42,160 --> 00:55:47,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, but the NFL suck. I mean it's the I

717
00:55:47,719 --> 00:55:50,799
Speaker 1: mean we got Zach Taylor's like, we're fighting for our life,

718
00:55:51,320 --> 00:55:53,520
Speaker 1: all this nonsense, Like, first of all, no, you're not.

719
00:55:54,080 --> 00:55:57,040
Speaker 1: Second of all, how are you not aware that they're

720
00:55:57,080 --> 00:55:59,120
Speaker 1: going to stop the game if he breaks this record.

721
00:55:59,840 --> 00:56:06,520
Speaker 1: There's only a handful of single season or career records

722
00:56:07,640 --> 00:56:13,640
Speaker 1: that are noteworthy. All time receiving yards, it's Jerry Rice,

723
00:56:14,080 --> 00:56:19,240
Speaker 1: it's never getting touched. All time rushing yards, it's emmittt Smith,

724
00:56:19,760 --> 00:56:23,680
Speaker 1: it's never getting touched. So you just like that's you

725
00:56:23,840 --> 00:56:26,919
Speaker 1: just don't have to worry about, Oh man, like what's

726
00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:29,759
Speaker 1: gonna happen if our team's involved in something like that? Like,

727
00:56:29,840 --> 00:56:34,640
Speaker 1: let me just tell you what those records are. Any

728
00:56:34,840 --> 00:56:40,759
Speaker 1: touchdown record, single season, rushing, receiving or career you don't

729
00:56:40,800 --> 00:56:43,400
Speaker 1: have to worry about either because you know what happens

730
00:56:43,440 --> 00:56:47,000
Speaker 1: after a touchdown. Game stops anyway, so like it's not

731
00:56:47,080 --> 00:56:49,640
Speaker 1: gonna happen in the flow of play. So there's it's

732
00:56:49,719 --> 00:56:55,640
Speaker 1: a very select few record Like career rushing yards. Emmett

733
00:56:55,719 --> 00:57:00,960
Speaker 1: has eighteen three hundred and fifty five. Second place is

734
00:57:01,040 --> 00:57:05,080
Speaker 1: Walter Payton at sixteen to seven. Highest active is Derrick

735
00:57:05,120 --> 00:57:10,440
Speaker 1: Henry at thirteen thousand. So Derrick Henry would need another

736
00:57:10,680 --> 00:57:14,880
Speaker 1: five thousand yards to break Emmett's record. I don't put

737
00:57:14,920 --> 00:57:18,320
Speaker 1: anything past Derrick Henry. I don't think that's happening. Derrick

738
00:57:18,400 --> 00:57:22,240
Speaker 1: Henry is thirty one years old. I don't think he's

739
00:57:22,560 --> 00:57:25,120
Speaker 1: giving you a thousand yard seasons in the age thirty six.

740
00:57:25,400 --> 00:57:29,200
Speaker 1: So that record seems pretty safe. By the way, if

741
00:57:29,240 --> 00:57:32,600
Speaker 1: you want to know an even safer record, Jerry Rice's

742
00:57:32,680 --> 00:57:37,160
Speaker 1: receiving yards, which is twenty two thousand and eight ninety five.

743
00:57:37,960 --> 00:57:42,680
Speaker 1: Second place is Larry Fitzgerald at seventeen thousand.

744
00:57:42,320 --> 00:57:43,360
Speaker 2: And change was Larry.

745
00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:45,280
Speaker 1: That's crazy, Yeah, he played for.

746
00:57:47,320 --> 00:57:47,440
Speaker 2: Uh.

747
00:57:48,120 --> 00:57:54,680
Speaker 1: Most most active is DeAndre Hopkins, who has thirteen thousand.

748
00:57:55,440 --> 00:57:57,920
Speaker 1: He's more than nine thousand shy and I don't know

749
00:57:57,920 --> 00:58:00,200
Speaker 1: if you saw DeAndre Hopkins last two years with the

750
00:58:00,280 --> 00:58:02,520
Speaker 1: Chiefs and the Ravens, I don't think he's getting there.

751
00:58:02,920 --> 00:58:06,520
Speaker 1: Then it's Mike Evans at thirteen thousand, Travis Kelcey at

752
00:58:06,560 --> 00:58:09,080
Speaker 1: thirteen thousand. I don't think either one of those guys

753
00:58:09,200 --> 00:58:12,720
Speaker 1: is adding another ninety eight hundred, So that record seems safe.

754
00:58:13,800 --> 00:58:18,360
Speaker 1: The only records are oh, and let me what career

755
00:58:18,520 --> 00:58:22,160
Speaker 1: passing yards. Just so we're all on the same page,

756
00:58:22,560 --> 00:58:28,280
Speaker 1: it's Tom Brady at eighty nine thousand. Okay. The second

757
00:58:28,360 --> 00:58:32,400
Speaker 1: most is Drew Brees at eighty so he's nine thousand clear.

758
00:58:33,040 --> 00:58:36,400
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is the highest active. He's at sixty six.

759
00:58:36,720 --> 00:58:40,560
Speaker 1: He's twenty three thousand away. Stafford's at sixty four. He's

760
00:58:40,640 --> 00:58:44,840
Speaker 1: twenty five thousand away. I think it's pretty safe. Highest

761
00:58:44,960 --> 00:58:48,120
Speaker 1: up on the list of a quarterback still in his prime.

762
00:58:49,720 --> 00:58:53,600
Speaker 1: Mahomes and Dak both have thirty five to nine, so

763
00:58:53,760 --> 00:58:57,440
Speaker 1: they both need fifty five thousand more. We don't have

764
00:58:57,480 --> 00:59:00,280
Speaker 1: to worry about that record for a while. So the

765
00:59:00,400 --> 00:59:03,640
Speaker 1: only records they can be broken where they might stop

766
00:59:03,720 --> 00:59:09,280
Speaker 1: a game are single season rushing Eric Dickerson. If Saquan

767
00:59:09,320 --> 00:59:11,720
Speaker 1: would have done it last year, they'd have stopped the game.

768
00:59:12,960 --> 00:59:17,200
Speaker 1: Single season receiving Calvin Johnson when he got it, they

769
00:59:17,320 --> 00:59:23,200
Speaker 1: stopped the game. Single season passing Peyton Manning he got

770
00:59:23,320 --> 00:59:26,960
Speaker 1: it on a touchdown pass, they stopped the game and

771
00:59:27,120 --> 00:59:31,240
Speaker 1: the sacks record, and when Strahan got it, they stopped

772
00:59:31,320 --> 00:59:38,240
Speaker 1: the game. Whiney baby Bengals and Jamar Chase being like

773
00:59:38,720 --> 00:59:41,400
Speaker 1: man and back into my career. They better when I

774
00:59:41,480 --> 00:59:44,880
Speaker 1: get ten catches or something, Buddy, I love you, Jamar Chase,

775
00:59:45,200 --> 00:59:51,400
Speaker 1: shut up. I promise you, Jamar Chase, I absolutely promise you.

776
00:59:52,000 --> 00:59:56,240
Speaker 1: If you ever break Calvin Johnson's single season yardage record,

777
00:59:56,600 --> 00:59:59,560
Speaker 1: they will stop the game. And if you get any

778
00:59:59,600 --> 01:00:04,720
Speaker 1: of the other records, they'll stop the game for you. Unfortunately,

779
01:00:05,400 --> 01:00:07,920
Speaker 1: all the records are held by Jerry Rice, and no

780
01:00:08,040 --> 01:00:13,280
Speaker 1: one's coming close. Jerry Rice one one hundred and ninety

781
01:00:13,360 --> 01:00:17,680
Speaker 1: seven career receiving touchdowns. Second place is Moss with one

782
01:00:17,840 --> 01:00:22,480
Speaker 1: fifty six. Highest active is Davante Adams at one seventeen.

783
01:00:22,880 --> 01:00:26,600
Speaker 1: To give you context for that, if you took Davante

784
01:00:26,680 --> 01:00:32,760
Speaker 1: Adams one seventeen and added Travis Kelcey's eighty two, you

785
01:00:32,800 --> 01:00:37,280
Speaker 1: would beat Rice by two touchdowns. Nobody's touching Rice's records,

786
01:00:37,920 --> 01:00:39,320
Speaker 1: So you don't have to worry about any of that,

787
01:00:39,600 --> 01:00:46,800
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase, quit whining. And so I just I can't this,

788
01:00:46,960 --> 01:00:50,760
Speaker 1: just can't. I couldn't believe these guys being like, we

789
01:00:50,840 --> 01:00:53,920
Speaker 1: didn't expect it, What did you expect? They just be

790
01:00:54,040 --> 01:00:57,120
Speaker 1: like third down. I can talk about this record all year.

791
01:00:59,040 --> 01:01:01,320
Speaker 1: All right, let's do the quick. Let's quickly get to

792
01:01:01,400 --> 01:01:02,120
Speaker 1: these other games.

793
01:01:02,640 --> 01:01:06,440
Speaker 2: Oh, Buccaneers defeat the Panthers, sixteen to fourteen didn't matter.

794
01:01:07,200 --> 01:01:12,600
Speaker 1: Didn't matter. What a shameful end of season swoon by Tampa. Yeah,

795
01:01:13,120 --> 01:01:17,440
Speaker 1: and what a shameful preseason prediction by me had him

796
01:01:17,480 --> 01:01:20,680
Speaker 1: in the suit? Was super Bowl teams missed the playoffs?

797
01:01:21,280 --> 01:01:24,520
Speaker 2: That's that part is isn't great my two.

798
01:01:24,520 --> 01:01:28,440
Speaker 1: Super Bowl teams. Demons started the year off five and

799
01:01:28,640 --> 01:01:32,560
Speaker 1: three and six and one, and then finished the year

800
01:01:35,040 --> 01:01:44,080
Speaker 1: two and seven and one in eight respectively. Just just pathetic.

801
01:01:44,480 --> 01:01:48,280
Speaker 1: By the way, we're not talking draft today, but thanks

802
01:01:48,320 --> 01:01:51,080
Speaker 1: to that one and eight finish, the Chiefs are drafting.

803
01:01:52,480 --> 01:01:56,120
Speaker 2: Ninth. Yeah, that's awesome. That's awesome.

804
01:01:56,440 --> 01:01:59,680
Speaker 1: Jeeves got a better draft pick than the Bengals. Burrow

805
01:01:59,720 --> 01:02:04,200
Speaker 1: miss half the year. It's really remarkable, all right.

806
01:02:04,320 --> 01:02:07,800
Speaker 2: Next, Falcons defeat the Saints nineteen to seventeen.

807
01:02:08,560 --> 01:02:11,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, that won the Panthers their division. Might have cost

808
01:02:11,360 --> 01:02:14,600
Speaker 1: Tyler Schuck Offensive Rookie of the Year, and it wasn't

809
01:02:14,680 --> 01:02:16,920
Speaker 1: enough for Raheem Morris to keep his job. I thought

810
01:02:16,960 --> 01:02:19,960
Speaker 1: that was a curious firing, by the way, firing. Raheem

811
01:02:20,280 --> 01:02:22,520
Speaker 1: finished eight to nine, finished tied for division lead. I

812
01:02:22,560 --> 01:02:22,800
Speaker 1: don't know.

813
01:02:23,040 --> 01:02:28,080
Speaker 2: Next, Raiders defeat the Chiefs fourteen to twelve. Do you

814
01:02:28,120 --> 01:02:30,400
Speaker 2: also think that's Kelsey's last game? Possibly?

815
01:02:30,960 --> 01:02:32,680
Speaker 1: I don't want to talk about Kelsey thing because I

816
01:02:32,720 --> 01:02:36,600
Speaker 1: don't know, and we've talked like we've talked about it before.

817
01:02:39,400 --> 01:02:41,640
Speaker 1: It's a good thing. De mon say, I don't have

818
01:02:41,800 --> 01:02:47,640
Speaker 1: a league MVP ballot because my ballot would read number one,

819
01:02:49,080 --> 01:02:56,040
Speaker 1: Matt Stafford number two, Drake May number three, Trevor Lawrence

820
01:02:56,840 --> 01:03:04,960
Speaker 1: number four, Christian McCaffrey number five. After seeing the Kansasity

821
01:03:05,080 --> 01:03:11,720
Speaker 1: Chiefs lose to the Tennessee Titans and not score a touchdown,

822
01:03:13,120 --> 01:03:17,560
Speaker 1: lose to the Denver Broncos and score one touchdown, and

823
01:03:17,760 --> 01:03:22,080
Speaker 1: lose to the Las Vegas Raiders and not score a touchdown,

824
01:03:23,080 --> 01:03:25,320
Speaker 1: my fifth most Valuable Player of the League of twenty

825
01:03:25,400 --> 01:03:29,360
Speaker 1: twenty five would have been Patrick Mahomes because holy shit,

826
01:03:30,400 --> 01:03:32,880
Speaker 1: have you ever seen a worse offense than this team?

827
01:03:32,960 --> 01:03:38,280
Speaker 1: Without my God, just instantly, just snap became the worst

828
01:03:38,320 --> 01:03:41,560
Speaker 1: team in the league. That the Raiders lost to the Titans,

829
01:03:42,040 --> 01:03:47,120
Speaker 1: I mean just instantly became impossibly like couldn't get yards,

830
01:03:47,880 --> 01:03:53,720
Speaker 1: just could do nothing. It just the it's really unbelievable

831
01:03:54,280 --> 01:03:57,760
Speaker 1: if you look at what the Chiefs did those final

832
01:03:57,880 --> 01:04:00,560
Speaker 1: three games. I'm just gonna tell it to you real quick.

833
01:04:01,280 --> 01:04:08,120
Speaker 1: Against the Tennessee Titans, who are awful, the Chiefs ran

834
01:04:08,320 --> 01:04:13,280
Speaker 1: forty three plays for one hundred and thirty yards, had

835
01:04:13,480 --> 01:04:22,000
Speaker 1: nine first downs converted one third down. Against the Denver Broncos,

836
01:04:22,800 --> 01:04:28,480
Speaker 1: who admittedly have a very good defense, the Chiefs ran

837
01:04:29,960 --> 01:04:31,520
Speaker 1: I was looking at that, I was like, no, oh wow,

838
01:04:32,200 --> 01:04:36,240
Speaker 1: no wrong stat forty two plays for one hundred and

839
01:04:36,400 --> 01:04:41,000
Speaker 1: thirty nine yards. So again, the first game they had

840
01:04:41,000 --> 01:04:43,640
Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty three yards, the second game they

841
01:04:43,680 --> 01:04:47,280
Speaker 1: had one hundred and thirty nine yards. And against the

842
01:04:49,080 --> 01:04:54,800
Speaker 1: and against the Las Vegas Raiders, the Chiefs ran sixty

843
01:04:54,920 --> 01:04:58,200
Speaker 1: two plays, a lot of plays for one hundred and

844
01:04:58,360 --> 01:05:04,760
Speaker 1: sixty eight yards. They averaged three yards per play without Mahomes.

845
01:05:05,400 --> 01:05:07,680
Speaker 1: I'm not acting like there were some juggernaut this year

846
01:05:07,760 --> 01:05:08,600
Speaker 1: with him, but.

847
01:05:08,800 --> 01:05:12,720
Speaker 2: My god, it is the only games that they had

848
01:05:12,840 --> 01:05:19,040
Speaker 2: after Patrick went out really did shine a light because opponents, Yeah,

849
01:05:20,520 --> 01:05:24,800
Speaker 2: my god, next Jaguars defeat the Titans forty seven.

850
01:05:25,960 --> 01:05:30,720
Speaker 1: Listen, we the Trevor's just been on such a heater,

851
01:05:31,400 --> 01:05:35,400
Speaker 1: and now we get Bill's Jags in round one, and

852
01:05:35,560 --> 01:05:38,920
Speaker 1: I you know what I was gonna say, I'm just

853
01:05:39,040 --> 01:05:42,760
Speaker 1: saying it right now. I believe the winner of that

854
01:05:42,880 --> 01:05:46,160
Speaker 1: game is gonna go to the super Bowl. That's my pick.

855
01:05:47,040 --> 01:05:50,880
Speaker 1: Winner of Bill's Jags goes to the super Bowl. We'll

856
01:05:50,920 --> 01:05:53,600
Speaker 1: have the the but we'll talk a lot more about

857
01:05:53,640 --> 01:05:57,280
Speaker 1: that on Thursday. Also, So Thursday we'll do our playoff preview.

858
01:05:57,600 --> 01:06:02,880
Speaker 1: Friday will do our playoff gambling show end, our preseason

859
01:06:03,120 --> 01:06:08,919
Speaker 1: over unders recap, and our preseason gambling show recap where

860
01:06:10,000 --> 01:06:13,960
Speaker 1: I compiled it. I compiled it this morning, and you

861
01:06:14,080 --> 01:06:18,000
Speaker 1: will see the real integrity of this show because we

862
01:06:18,160 --> 01:06:20,440
Speaker 1: pay the big on this show. So all of that

863
01:06:22,080 --> 01:06:23,960
Speaker 1: coming up later this week. Let's get to these other

864
01:06:24,000 --> 01:06:24,600
Speaker 1: games quickly.

865
01:06:25,080 --> 01:06:27,480
Speaker 2: Texans defeat the Colts thirty eight thirty.

866
01:06:28,600 --> 01:06:31,000
Speaker 1: Weird game because the Texans wanted to win it, but

867
01:06:31,080 --> 01:06:34,360
Speaker 1: then bench CJ. Stroud they wanted anyway. The Colts kept

868
01:06:34,400 --> 01:06:34,800
Speaker 1: it close.

869
01:06:34,920 --> 01:06:38,360
Speaker 2: Next, Vikings defeat the Packers sixteen to three.

870
01:06:39,120 --> 01:06:42,640
Speaker 1: The Packers did not care about winning this game. The Packers, however,

871
01:06:43,160 --> 01:06:49,280
Speaker 1: here's the thing. Matt Lafour last year with Aaron Rodgers,

872
01:06:49,960 --> 01:06:54,520
Speaker 1: they are playing in week seven to eighteen to win

873
01:06:54,840 --> 01:06:59,400
Speaker 1: and be the seventh seed. They lost The next year

874
01:06:59,440 --> 01:07:02,600
Speaker 1: the Green Bay with Jordan Love were the seventh seed.

875
01:07:03,520 --> 01:07:05,880
Speaker 1: The next year, the Green Bay Packers with Jordan Love

876
01:07:06,000 --> 01:07:09,040
Speaker 1: were the seventh seed. This year, the Green Bay Packers

877
01:07:09,080 --> 01:07:13,440
Speaker 1: with Jordan Love are the seventh seed. They nobody has

878
01:07:13,480 --> 01:07:17,240
Speaker 1: benefited from this expanded playoff field more than Matt Lafleur,

879
01:07:17,320 --> 01:07:19,880
Speaker 1: who I think objectedly is a good coach. But there's

880
01:07:19,920 --> 01:07:23,040
Speaker 1: a seventh seed every year. Last year with the Rogers,

881
01:07:23,080 --> 01:07:26,280
Speaker 1: they they just barely missed out on it, and then

882
01:07:26,400 --> 01:07:28,360
Speaker 1: each of the last three years they were the seventh seed.

883
01:07:28,480 --> 01:07:32,120
Speaker 2: Next Giants to feed the Cowboys thirty four to seventeen.

884
01:07:32,720 --> 01:07:37,600
Speaker 1: Nobody listen, Jackson Dart doesn't the Giants. Jackson Dart most

885
01:07:37,680 --> 01:07:40,240
Speaker 1: nobly was like, Man, I'm ruining our draft pick. You

886
01:07:40,480 --> 01:07:43,400
Speaker 1: don't even think about drafts. And Fernando Mendoza, we're gonna

887
01:07:43,440 --> 01:07:46,560
Speaker 1: beat the Raiders, that we're gonna beat the Cowboys and

888
01:07:46,640 --> 01:07:49,320
Speaker 1: we're gonna fall. You're gonna draft me an offensive lineman

889
01:07:49,520 --> 01:07:50,080
Speaker 1: and like it.

890
01:07:50,320 --> 01:07:53,920
Speaker 2: Next uh, the Commanders defeat Eagles twenty four to seventeen.

891
01:07:54,600 --> 01:07:58,000
Speaker 1: So that's noteworthy because the Lions ended up beating the

892
01:07:58,080 --> 01:08:00,800
Speaker 1: Bears in another game where the Bears offense was non

893
01:08:00,880 --> 01:08:04,080
Speaker 1: existent for three quarters, came alive late, but it happened

894
01:08:04,080 --> 01:08:07,920
Speaker 1: to not be enough because the Bears lost. If the

895
01:08:08,000 --> 01:08:11,080
Speaker 1: Eagles had won, they would be the two seed. And

896
01:08:11,240 --> 01:08:14,200
Speaker 1: the Eagles rested all their guys and thought they could

897
01:08:14,240 --> 01:08:17,720
Speaker 1: win anyway and lost, And that to me matters. Like

898
01:08:17,840 --> 01:08:21,400
Speaker 1: the Eagles, Sirianni's never lost a playoff game at home.

899
01:08:21,720 --> 01:08:24,160
Speaker 1: He's also never won a playoff game on the road.

900
01:08:24,520 --> 01:08:27,479
Speaker 1: That's Hey and Jalen, So that is interesting that they

901
01:08:27,520 --> 01:08:30,760
Speaker 1: have set it up to where round two they're on

902
01:08:30,880 --> 01:08:33,080
Speaker 1: the road. If they win and the Bears win.

903
01:08:34,040 --> 01:08:38,479
Speaker 2: Next is so we got lines defeating the Bears nineteen

904
01:08:38,560 --> 01:08:39,200
Speaker 2: to sixteen.

905
01:08:39,479 --> 01:08:43,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was kind of included in what I just did.

906
01:08:43,760 --> 01:08:46,040
Speaker 2: Broncos defeat Chargers nineteen to three.

907
01:08:47,800 --> 01:08:51,559
Speaker 1: Chargers backups, Broncos defense, you know, made Trey Lance look bad.

908
01:08:53,360 --> 01:08:57,479
Speaker 1: I'd be a little squeamish about how bo Nicks is

909
01:08:57,560 --> 01:09:01,599
Speaker 1: going into the playoffs. So it was awesome against Green Bay.

910
01:09:02,840 --> 01:09:07,080
Speaker 1: In the three games since then, two touchdowns, two picks,

911
01:09:07,120 --> 01:09:13,599
Speaker 1: a seventy nine rating, and bo Nicks, I understand he's

912
01:09:13,640 --> 01:09:19,280
Speaker 1: been clutch, but the final half of the year ten touchdowns,

913
01:09:19,400 --> 01:09:23,559
Speaker 1: six picks and eighty five rating, And if you remove

914
01:09:23,920 --> 01:09:26,800
Speaker 1: this is wildly unfair. You can't remove it, but I'm

915
01:09:26,880 --> 01:09:32,439
Speaker 1: just saying, if you remove the Green Bay game. Over

916
01:09:32,520 --> 01:09:38,200
Speaker 1: the final half of the season, bow Knicks in eight

917
01:09:38,360 --> 01:09:43,920
Speaker 1: games has six touchdowns, six picks, and a passer rating

918
01:09:44,000 --> 01:09:49,960
Speaker 1: in the seventies. Not great, and that would make me

919
01:09:50,040 --> 01:09:52,280
Speaker 1: a little nervous. But they get into the playoffs healthy.

920
01:09:52,760 --> 01:09:55,439
Speaker 1: They're the one seed, that's what matters. And the Bills

921
01:09:55,479 --> 01:10:01,639
Speaker 1: beat the Jets with their backups in a game where no, yeah,

922
01:10:01,720 --> 01:10:04,200
Speaker 1: the Jets went the whole season without an interception, which

923
01:10:04,280 --> 01:10:05,400
Speaker 1: is just.

924
01:10:05,800 --> 01:10:06,960
Speaker 2: Fall into an interception.

925
01:10:07,800 --> 01:10:13,479
Speaker 1: It's impossible to believe. Also, it is not lost on

926
01:10:13,680 --> 01:10:18,400
Speaker 1: me when I am you know, making the Matt stafford.

927
01:10:18,479 --> 01:10:23,680
Speaker 1: Is the league MVP case that Drake may against the

928
01:10:23,800 --> 01:10:28,759
Speaker 1: Jets throws for two point fifty five touchdowns, no picks,

929
01:10:30,560 --> 01:10:35,240
Speaker 1: and the very next week, Mitch Trubisky against the Jets

930
01:10:36,680 --> 01:10:41,280
Speaker 1: throws for two point fifty four touchdowns no picks. Again,

931
01:10:41,720 --> 01:10:45,320
Speaker 1: I think Drake May ad an unbelievable season, but those

932
01:10:45,479 --> 01:10:49,240
Speaker 1: Jets games are doing a lot of the statistical heavy

933
01:10:49,320 --> 01:10:57,080
Speaker 1: lifting for his MVP case. Bitch. Sorry, just just is

934
01:10:57,160 --> 01:11:02,360
Speaker 1: what it is. The go to Felix's question on this

935
01:11:02,479 --> 01:11:04,120
Speaker 1: real quick Demanse Felix.

936
01:11:04,479 --> 01:11:07,080
Speaker 2: Felix as, why does Drake May not get more credit

937
01:11:07,160 --> 01:11:10,080
Speaker 2: for turning the Patriots around? Stafford and the Rams were

938
01:11:10,160 --> 01:11:12,479
Speaker 2: already very good last year and won two more games

939
01:11:12,520 --> 01:11:14,639
Speaker 2: than last year. The Pats won ten more.

940
01:11:16,560 --> 01:11:20,559
Speaker 1: I I keep seeing people ask that type of question.

941
01:11:21,800 --> 01:11:27,840
Speaker 1: I don't That question is written and asked as if

942
01:11:28,000 --> 01:11:31,880
Speaker 1: Drake May was not on the Patriots last year. He was,

943
01:11:32,320 --> 01:11:35,719
Speaker 1: he got a lot better, No doubt, he's been awesome

944
01:11:35,760 --> 01:11:37,679
Speaker 1: this year. But you know, it's.

945
01:11:39,160 --> 01:11:40,599
Speaker 2: The rookie season though.

946
01:11:41,240 --> 01:11:41,280
Speaker 1: No.

947
01:11:41,479 --> 01:11:42,880
Speaker 2: I get it when you.

948
01:11:42,960 --> 01:11:45,400
Speaker 1: Say, but when they're like he turned them around, that

949
01:11:45,840 --> 01:11:48,800
Speaker 1: to me applies for Vrabel and Coach of the Year,

950
01:11:49,680 --> 01:11:53,479
Speaker 1: like they were awful. Rabel came there, cleaned them all up,

951
01:11:54,000 --> 01:11:56,640
Speaker 1: like you know, and Josh McDaniel's all that. I just

952
01:11:57,240 --> 01:12:01,559
Speaker 1: the I so Drake, And again, this is the last

953
01:12:01,560 --> 01:12:06,559
Speaker 1: thing I want to say about the MVP thing. Saying

954
01:12:06,760 --> 01:12:10,759
Speaker 1: someone is not the league MVP is not denying them credit.

955
01:12:12,479 --> 01:12:16,000
Speaker 1: Saying I don't think you deserved the single highest honor

956
01:12:16,080 --> 01:12:20,680
Speaker 1: the league gives out is not saying is not depriving

957
01:12:20,800 --> 01:12:24,920
Speaker 1: someone of credit. And so if I said he's overrated,

958
01:12:24,960 --> 01:12:26,640
Speaker 1: if I said he's not a Pro Bowl, or if

959
01:12:26,680 --> 01:12:29,080
Speaker 1: I said he's not, you know, in the top three

960
01:12:29,160 --> 01:12:32,040
Speaker 1: of MVP, that would be depriving him of credit. I

961
01:12:32,200 --> 01:12:36,280
Speaker 1: just think Stafford had the better year. That's all. Go

962
01:12:36,400 --> 01:12:37,320
Speaker 1: to Jeremy's question.

963
01:12:38,439 --> 01:12:41,040
Speaker 2: Jeremy asked, what do you think would be an ideal

964
01:12:41,160 --> 01:12:43,759
Speaker 2: Super Bowl for the NFL Bills Bears?

965
01:12:44,120 --> 01:12:52,200
Speaker 1: Question Mark, I think the NFL the ideal super Bowl

966
01:12:52,760 --> 01:12:57,120
Speaker 1: definitely involves the Bills with you know what a close

967
01:12:57,200 --> 01:12:59,720
Speaker 1: second of the Bills is in the AFC. From the

968
01:12:59,840 --> 01:13:04,320
Speaker 1: NFL's perspective, demands is the Steelers.

969
01:13:05,000 --> 01:13:06,520
Speaker 2: Oh, the Steelers, okay.

970
01:13:06,800 --> 01:13:10,720
Speaker 1: Well, because they are a prestige franchising March following and

971
01:13:11,000 --> 01:13:13,960
Speaker 1: Rogers it's not that big of a market. It's just auge,

972
01:13:14,000 --> 01:13:17,639
Speaker 1: you know, a historic team with a huge following in Rogers.

973
01:13:17,960 --> 01:13:21,360
Speaker 1: But Bill's would be one. And on the other side,

974
01:13:22,800 --> 01:13:28,400
Speaker 1: I think the NFL would be probably equally pleased with

975
01:13:28,680 --> 01:13:38,480
Speaker 1: Bill's Rams or Bill's Eagles with from the NFL's perspective,

976
01:13:38,920 --> 01:13:49,120
Speaker 1: nout from ratings, okay, the and I I think Bill's.

977
01:13:51,200 --> 01:13:54,280
Speaker 1: I think Bill's Rams or Bill's Eagles would be the

978
01:13:54,479 --> 01:13:59,200
Speaker 1: league's top choice, with Bill's Bears being third. I think

979
01:13:59,320 --> 01:14:04,040
Speaker 1: the nut for the league. If we're removing Carolina as

980
01:14:04,080 --> 01:14:07,280
Speaker 1: any possibility. As far as the Super Bowl matchups that

981
01:14:07,360 --> 01:14:12,000
Speaker 1: could actually happen, that would be the least sexy is

982
01:14:12,120 --> 01:14:16,160
Speaker 1: one that I think is really on the board. Seahawks Jaggs.

983
01:14:17,479 --> 01:14:21,080
Speaker 1: I think Seahawks Jacks really could happen, and probably as

984
01:14:21,160 --> 01:14:24,559
Speaker 1: the least casual appeal. But again it's the super Bowl.

985
01:14:24,600 --> 01:14:28,240
Speaker 1: Everybody watches, all right, Demanse, great job, thank you for

986
