Speaker 3: and review, Mark Medina Midnight Magic, Medina Magic. We've got

14
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,480
Speaker 3: NBA stuff. Well, we're gonna cover it all. We've got everything,

15
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 3: But we begin. I quote the legend once known as

16
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 3: Alexander the Great, who once said, I may not fear

17
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 3: a pack alliance if their leader is a sheep. I

18
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 3: may fear a pack of sheep if their leader is

19
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 3: a lion. But what if there are a pack of

20
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 3: lions and their leader is a lion? I want to

21
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 3: give CJ Stroud and the Houston Texans their props. I

22
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 3: wish the season was starting again tomorrow. I can't wait

23
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:24,559
Speaker 3: to see what they do next year.

24
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 2: And we're going to.

25
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 3: Get to them a little bit later, because that was

26
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 3: a very interesting game today in Baltimore. Baltimore took Houston's

27
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 3: best punch and they strolled in there like a veteran team.

28
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 3: And it's ironic because so many people cried and wailed

29
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 3: when Tamiko Ryans took that job.

30
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 2: They thought he was set up to fail and it

31
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:46,199
Speaker 2: was a bad job.

32
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 3: Well, let me tell you something, Demiko Ryans, if he's

33
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 3: not Coach of the Year, that I'm writing a letter

34
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 3: of the governor. What an amazing job he has done,

35
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 3: and what an amazing job CJ. Stroud has done. And

36
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 3: for all of you who doubted Dimico Rans, that's on you.

37
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 3: We're going to get to that a little bit later,

38
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:06,919
Speaker 3: because that is a pack alliance whose leader is a lion.

39
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 3: But I have to begin with this. Do you know

40
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 3: how close we came to having a situation where the

41
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 3: NFC Championship game would be held in either Detroit or

42
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 3: Tampa Bay. How many of you had that on your

43
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 3: bingo card, And I never say things like bingo card

44
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,079
Speaker 3: because I think it's stupid. But I just figured I

45
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 3: would say at this one time, amazing that we were

46
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 3: so close, I mean less than a minute, and all

47
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 3: of a sudden Sunday's noon game Pacific time between Detroit

48
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 3: and Tampa Bay's not only to who advances to the

49
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 3: NFC Championship Game, but who would be hosting the NFC

50
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 3: Championship game.

51
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 2: Get your mind around that one.

52
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 3: In this crazy year of the NFL and the backup

53
00:02:56,280 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 3: quarterback and all the incredible storylines that have surrounded this season.

54
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 3: And by the way, note this, put this in your

55
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:08,959
Speaker 3: pipe and smoked. The NFL checked out the NFC in

56
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 3: the Super Bowl entrant of the NFC played here in Vegas.

57
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 3: Here in three weeks, one of these three quarterbacks will

58
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 3: be your starting quarterback for the NFC entrant Rock Purty,

59
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 3: Baker Mayfield or Jared Goff.

60
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 2: But I digress just a second.

61
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 3: And by the way, gave it up the tough night

62
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 3: for the rock Perty haters tonight. Look, I never said

63
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 3: he was Joe Montana, and he's not Eddie Gazinski either.

64
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 3: He's a damn good quarterback who's blessed with an ability

65
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 3: to see the field. It's why seventeen and four as

66
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 3: a starter, four and one in the playoffs he was

67
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 3: six to seven for forty seven yards and that winning drive.

68
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 3: And is he going to, you know, make you drop

69
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 3: what you're doing and you know and call the Hall

70
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 3: of Fame and put him in tomorrow. No, so many

71
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 3: people hate him, they don't care what he does. But

72
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 3: the question is in the National Football League, can you

73
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 3: be great win the situation? De Man's greatness He's already

74
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 3: done in twenty one games with Matt Stafford couldn't do

75
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 3: in twelve years. And I believe me, I love taking

76
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 3: my shots to Stafford, and I'm gonna do it early

77
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 3: and often. Maybe we'll see. But let's also give huge

78
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 3: props to the seven seeded Green Bay Packers. They snuck

79
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,600
Speaker 3: into the postseason with a nine to eight record, the

80
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 3: NFL's youngest team, they averaged twenty five years, two hundred

81
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 3: and fourteen days after Aaron Rodgers.

82
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 2: Immense respect and.

83
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 3: Love for Jordan Love, who did what neither Aaron Rodgers

84
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 3: nor Brett Favre could do in their initial starting season

85
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 3: with the Packers, got the team to the playoffs. Won

86
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 3: a playoff game. Look good doing it now. I was

87
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 3: a bit of a bummer the way it ended.

88
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 2: He rolled right, rolled right, rolled right, rolled right, rolled.

89
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 3: Right, threw across his body into a sea of hands,

90
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,160
Speaker 3: which is unfortunate. He must have been watching Matt Stafford

91
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:54,840
Speaker 3: film because if I had a nickel for every time

92
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 3: I saw Matt Stafford do that in Detroit, hell Ean

93
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,599
Speaker 3: Musk would be mow and or maybe I just have

94
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 3: my own private playing with twenty four hour access. But

95
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 3: don't let that be your lasting impression at Jordan Love.

96
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 3: He really impressed me. And look, the Packers had to

97
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 3: absorb a forty million dollars dead cap hit when they

98
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 3: traded Rogers to the New York Jets.

99
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 2: And you know what they always well, who wont the divorce?

100
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 3: Which is kind of stupid. It's not a divorce, it's

101
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 3: a business transaction. You know, they're not taking vows, they're

102
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 3: not sacred vows. People move on. But I would say

103
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 3: the Packers won that one. They have proven that they

104
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 3: do have a quarterback to build around long term. And

105
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 3: you know, they went into San Francisco, a tough environment

106
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 3: with tough weather, and I gotta say you. The Niners

107
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 3: looked vulnerable to me on defense, and we'll get to

108
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 3: that a little bit later. But the truth of the

109
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 3: matter is when you when you looked at the game

110
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 3: Saturday night, it did erase the narrative that the Niners

111
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,160
Speaker 3: can't come from behind and win. During Kyle Shanahan zero,

112
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 3: he'd been zero to thirty one when they're down five

113
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 3: or more points in the fourth quarter in the last

114
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 3: seven years when he became the head coach. The only

115
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,720
Speaker 3: NFL team outset you win in that entire span will

116
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 3: not anymore. And Brock Purty, who has been called a

117
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 3: cool game manager by former NFL MVP Cam Newton, And

118
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 3: here's little news for you, Cam. Every quarterback's the game manager.

119
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 3: Yes they are so manage the game better than others,

120
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:31,919
Speaker 3: But you do not freelance and play backyard football in

121
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 3: the NFL. These are very tightly wound, scripted, meticulous offensive

122
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 3: game plans that offensive coordinators put together. So call them

123
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 3: what you want, but call him a guy who's one

124
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 3: game away from getting into the Super Bowl now and

125
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 3: if and again had to be a little tough for

126
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 3: the brock Perty haters when he had that twelve place

127
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 3: sixty nine yard scoring drive when Christian McCaffrey, who ended

128
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:01,840
Speaker 3: up with ninety eight yards two touchdowns, they take the

129
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 3: lead with a minute seven So Birdie finished with two

130
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,600
Speaker 3: fifty two passing yards a touchdown.

131
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 2: He was twenty three to thirty nine.

132
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 3: But look, the first half was a slog. San Francisco

133
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 3: looked rusty. Green Bay looked outstanding. And it's crazy to

134
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 3: think that Joe berry is is still working in the

135
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 3: National Football He's your defensive coordinator if you're scoring at home,

136
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 3: and I hope you are.

137
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 2: Joe berry was.

138
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 3: Actually the defensive coordinator in Detroit the year they went

139
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 3: on sixteen. But again I digress. On third and fifteen

140
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 3: during that same series, Jordan Love hung in the pocket.

141
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 3: He threw a dart downfield to Bull Melton. The throw

142
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 3: was critical because the forty nine ers corner Ambry Thomas,

143
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 3: who had a terrible game, He committed his second pass

144
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 3: interference penalty to the game that gave Green Bay a

145
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 3: forty one yard game. On the very next play, Love

146
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 3: throws his first touchdown of the game to a wide

147
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 3: open Bull Melton on a wheel route, and man, this

148
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 3: guy can This kid can really play, and he's a

149
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 3: good person, good human being. He paid his dues, he

150
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 3: put up with a lot of baloney. Don't act like

151
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 3: he didn't, and he continued to progress and work. And

152
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 3: it's just a success story. You're you're very happy to see.

153
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 3: Why did the Niners win? Well, I guess in the

154
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 3: end under pressure, they didn't fold. They trailed for most

155
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 3: of the game. Brock Purty struggled to get into the rhythm.

156
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 3: Why it was wet, it was rainy, all that whatever.

157
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 3: Andrews Carlson misses another field goal that would have put

158
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 3: Green Bay up seven, pretty locked in, completed six of

159
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 3: seven passes on that final drive when it mattered most

160
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 3: in San Francisco. This is survive in advance. When you

161
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 3: get to the NFC championship game, they don't ask Kyle

162
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 3: just how many and they need one more to go

163
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 3: to the Super Bowl and they're gonna host it.

164
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 2: Now.

165
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 3: It's not a lock. This is a National Football League.

166
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 3: It's never a lock. Why did Green Bay lose? Well, Look,

167
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,239
Speaker 3: I think youth may be wasted on the young. Sometimes

168
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:58,680
Speaker 3: Green Bay had a youth edge in this situation, but

169
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 3: that meant inexperience as well. And I think that inexperience

170
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 3: hurt them in a season killing way when it mattered

171
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 3: most again, Andrews Carlson, this field goal would have put

172
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 3: them up, but not only did it allow the forty

173
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 3: nine ers to it would put them up seven excuse me,

174
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:17,679
Speaker 3: but not only did it allow the forty nine ers

175
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 3: to have a chance to win the game. They had

176
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 3: a full six minutes, six minutes and change, and they

177
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 3: had pretty good field position. That was actually the turning

178
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 3: point of the game, I believe, in terms of how

179
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 3: it was going to end up deciding a winner.

180
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 2: And both quarterbacks made great throws.

181
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 3: I mean, bot Purty's thirty two yard touchdown passed to

182
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:43,680
Speaker 3: Kittle while he was on the run was spectacular. However,

183
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 3: I think the best strow of the night might have

184
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 3: belonged to Jordan Love. There was a third and seven

185
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:51,319
Speaker 3: dark to Romeo Dubbs that gained twenty two yards that

186
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 3: gave green Bay a first and goal in the forty

187
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 3: nine ers nine.

188
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 2: And so there you have it.

189
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:58,679
Speaker 3: One team tells jokes, the other says, shut up and

190
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 3: deal top tip of the cap to.

191
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 2: The green Bay Packers.

192
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 3: But can you imagine how the spectacular that might have

193
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,199
Speaker 3: been if green Bay would have held on and let's

194
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 3: say Detroit wins Sunday. That's not a lock, but they're

195
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 3: likely to. But we're gonna break down ways how the

196
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 3: Bucks could win that game. Can you imagine Green Bay

197
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 3: visiting Detroit for the NFC Championship and the right to

198
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 3: go to the Super Bowl. That would have been just

199
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 3: that would have been too cool for school. Coming up,

200
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 3: I want to go back to the other game, Ravens Texas.

201
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 3: I want to I want to share my takeaways and

202
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:37,559
Speaker 3: how frankly, the Ravens took to Houston Texans best punch

203
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 3: in the first half, but then they certainly took control

204
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 3: in the second half. But what an amazing year, What

205
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 3: an incredibly amazing year for Demico Ryans, the Houston Texans

206
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 3: and c J. Stroud. They have my ultimate respect, well deserved.

207
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,960
Speaker 3: We'll talk about that game and what's next for Baltimore.

208

Speaker 3: am Pacific, six am Eastern.

235
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 2: The whole mountain of things to get to.

236
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:22,680
Speaker 3: First, let's wrap up Saturday's divisional round playoff results. Give

237
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 3: it up to the Ravens, who in the second half

238
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:30,200
Speaker 3: apparently got the rust off of their buy as a

239
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 3: result of having the number one seed. They outscored the

240
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 3: Houston Texans twenty four zip in the first half game

241
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 3: set match. But if I'm being fairer, the Houston Texans

242
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,079
Speaker 3: threw a pretty good punch in the first half, took

243
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 3: control of the game and could have led if not

244
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:47,680
Speaker 3: for a miss field goal, and it was ten ten

245
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:53,679
Speaker 3: at halftime, and John harbass team was completely different in

246
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:57,319
Speaker 3: the second half. The Ravens scored touchdowns on their first

247
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 3: four to second half drives, including touchdowns on their first

248
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 3: three possessions. And the bottom line is or they scored

249
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 3: points on Look, here's the bottom line. Lamar Jackson was

250
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 3: simply great in the second half. He he did fall

251
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 3: victim to Houston's blitzes in the first half. And I

252
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 3: think Lamar Jackson, if I don't know why people would

253
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 3: not think he's the MVP this year, he is the

254
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 3: heart and soul of that team. He is clearly, you know,

255
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 3: you want to use old cliches, the straw that stirs

256
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 3: the drink. And the reason I've always you know, really

257
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:39,199
Speaker 3: been in Lamar Jackson's corner, even back at Louisville when

258
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 3: people doubted him, is because he never gets enough credit

259
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 3: for being able to pass from the pocket. You see,

260
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 3: when you leave the pocket prematurely, you disrupt the timing

261
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:53,959
Speaker 3: and flow of your offense. Justin Fields does that, Lamar

262
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 3: Jackson doesn't do that. He makes his read progressions. And

263
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:04,679
Speaker 3: if you watched him Saturday, he okay, they made adjustment

264
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 3: to the blitzes in the second half. He got his

265
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 3: feet set, he kept his eyes downfield. They were very quick,

266
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 3: accurate passes. He had a fifteen yard start Isaiah Likelely

267
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 3: that made that got Baltimore to a twenty four to

268
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 3: ten lead. Jackson also rushed for one hundred yards, including

269
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 3: a fourteen yard fourth and one play. But the reason,

270
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 3: and that's another thing he does. He doesn't just run

271
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 3: willy nilly. He will pay attention and if he sees

272
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 3: a team in man coverage with the dbi's back to

273
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 3: the play.

274
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 2: He'll run north and south.

275
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 3: If he sees a situation where a team's in zone,

276
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 3: he'll run east and west horizontally and allow the receivers

277
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 3: to set adjust their route. So I have always felt,

278
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 3: and this goes back to his days at Louisville when

279
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 3: he had great games against good Collins defenses. If you

280
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 3: doubt that Lamar Jackson can operate from the pocket, I

281
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 3: really don't know what you're looking at.

282
00:14:58,080 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 2: But I also want to.

283
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 3: Give a lot of credit to how hard Houston fought.

284
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 3: Sometimes in all sports, on all levels, teams are up matched,

285
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 3: but you can still play hard and the team will

286
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 3: always take on the personality of its field general and

287
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 3: Demiko's Ryan's defense ultimately had no answer for Jackson and

288
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 3: the Ravens and their offense in the second half, but

289
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 3: it wasn't for lack of effort, and they were very

290
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 3: good in the first half. So the fact that Houston

291
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,359
Speaker 3: got this far in and of itself is a tremendously

292
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 3: successful season. And c J. Stroud, he doesn't look like

293
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 3: a rookie. He looks like a phenomenal NFL quarterback who's

294
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 3: going to do continue to do great things in this league. Now,

295
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:46,239
Speaker 3: the Houston's inexperience. They had several bad pre snap penalties,

296
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 3: and their running game didn't do him any favors thirty

297
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 3: eight yards on fourteen carries, and frankly, their offense didn't

298
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 3: must a touchdown. They got the sixty seven yard punt

299
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 3: return from Steven Simms, and that was basically Houston scoring,

300
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 3: but it doesn't disavow or diminish what a great season

301
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 3: they had. So why did the Ravens win? Well, again,

302
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 3: they were a vastly different team in the second half,

303
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 3: and the one thing the Ravens did well throughout the

304
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 3: entire game was run the ball, and that was the

305
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 3: biggest difference between the two teams. Baltimore had nineteen yards

306
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 3: on seven checked that seventeen carries in the first half,

307
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 3: but in the second half alone they ran for a

308
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 3: buck thirty four and twenty five. So if you run

309
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 3: for two hundred and thirty yards and you have Lamar Jackson,

310
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 3: it's almost not fair. And you know Justice Hill and

311
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 3: Gus Edwards well, they jumped in nicely as well, so

312
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 3: you had a running game that was constant. In Baltimore.

313
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 3: They have a first year offensive coordinator, Todd Monkin. You've

314
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 3: got to give him credit as well. He made a

315
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 3: lot of those second half adjustments that led to Lamar

316
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 3: Jackson throwing four hundred yards in a touchdown in the

317
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 3: second half after throwing for just fifty two yards in

318
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 3: the first half. Plus another thing to notice, Jackson really

319
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 3: spread the ball around. He completed to nine different receivers. Also,

320
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson, once they really got their sea legs, was

321
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 3: not sacked a single time in the second half after

322
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 3: being sacked three times in the first half. So Baltimore

323
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 3: approved they were at home to be the superior team.

324
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,359
Speaker 3: They showed it in the second half, and once Baltimore

325
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,680
Speaker 3: really dug in, didn't even allow the Texans to record

326
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,199
Speaker 3: a single first down after their first drive of the

327
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:25,879
Speaker 3: second half. They never even allowed the Texans to ender

328
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 3: the red zone period, mainly because of their ability to

329
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,399
Speaker 3: make Houston one dimensional. So Baltimore is going to be

330
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 3: a real problem and we're going to get to Kansas

331
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,719
Speaker 3: City Buffalo later in the show. Can the Chiefs make

332
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:38,159
Speaker 3: it six in a row? What do I mean by that?

333
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:43,639
Speaker 3: If they prevail in Buffalo, Well, that would be the

334
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 3: sixth season in a row that Mahomes and company are

335
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 3: playing in the AFC Conference Championship. I think you heard

336
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 3: Aaron torriso. I think he's correct. Of all of the

337
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 3: teams that Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelcey

338
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 3: YadA Yah and the Home of Shpooka are going to

339
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 3: bring into Buffalo, this one has the least Mona pazzazz

340
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,919
Speaker 3: and punch. Make no mistake, these team's were defined by

341
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:07,399
Speaker 3: their defense. So can Kansas City go in there and

342
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 3: went on reputation Josh Allens beating them during the regular

343
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,679
Speaker 3: season but not during the postseason. Like the old Casey

344
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:16,479
Speaker 3: Stengel joke, teams always lost to the Yankees because they

345
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 3: got stuck staring at the pinstripes. That's a factor. But

346
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 3: irrespective of who prevails in Buffalo Sunday, it's going to

347
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 3: be a chore. It's going to be a shore in

348
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 3: Baltimore next week. Why did the Texans lose? Well, Houston

349
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:34,199
Speaker 3: may have out played Baltimore in the first half, but

350
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:38,119
Speaker 3: what they were doing wasn't sustainable. They could run the ball.

351
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:41,119
Speaker 3: That was a major reason for the loss, plus again

352
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:46,360
Speaker 3: eleven penalties. Baltimore only committed three penalties, so Houston's offense

353
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:51,679
Speaker 3: was completely neutralized the Texans defense. As the second half

354
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:56,159
Speaker 3: war on, the Texans defense simply got worn out and

355
00:18:56,240 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 3: that contributed to obviously, the Ravens scoring twenty four points

356
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 3: in the second half getting chunk yards on the ground.

357
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:08,920
Speaker 3: So Houston could not play complimentary football with the Ravens,

358
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 3: who might be the best team in this tournament probably

359
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 3: are Houston's defense. He just had no counter once Baltimore

360
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:19,439
Speaker 3: adjusted their passing approach to the second half. There are

361
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:22,920
Speaker 3: no moral victories, you know, that's believe me, there aren't.

362
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,199
Speaker 3: You hear people say, well College bathketot, that's a good loss. Now,

363
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:27,920
Speaker 3: there's no such thing as a good loss. It's like

364
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:33,159
Speaker 3: a good kidney stone. But I will say in defeat C. J.

365
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:37,640
Speaker 3: Stroud just impresses me everything about him. The way he

366
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 3: plays the position with his eyes. He's accurate, gets the

367
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 3: ball out of his hands, opportunistic, he's got tremendous huddle presence.

368
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 3: He's a true field general. Watch him on the sideline,

369
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 3: the way he interacts, and he's got a competitive streak.

370
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 3: He just happens to be a very understated, spiritual, you know,

371
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 3: dignified young man. But behind that, you know, angel face

372
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 3: is a killer. Nineteen to thirty three for a Bucks

373
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 3: seventy five. Didn't turn the ball over. If somebody would

374
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:07,959
Speaker 3: have told you in August, Houston will be playing in

375
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 3: the Divisional round in Baltimore in January for the right

376
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:13,159
Speaker 3: to go to the AFC Championship Game, and they'll be

377
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:16,679
Speaker 3: tied at halftime. You might have been drug tested, but

378
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 3: they did it. The turning point, I think I remember

379
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:25,440
Speaker 3: sings to myself and I always, you know, you never

380
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 3: like it when someone sees a certain juncture in a game,

381
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,920
Speaker 3: in any game, something happens and you say they're done.

382
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 2: They're done.

383
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:36,920
Speaker 3: Oftentimes, though, that old axiom that the knee jerking action

384
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:41,440
Speaker 3: turns out to be right. Because Houston missed a golden

385
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 3: chance to take the lead just before halftime. CJ. Stroud

386
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,880
Speaker 3: hit Nico Collins for back to back completions of twenty

387
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:54,880
Speaker 3: nine yards and sixteen yards, and Cami Fairburn comes down

388
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:58,199
Speaker 3: the field to attempt a field goal, which would have

389
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 3: allowed the Texans to take the lead heading into halftime,

390
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 3: and he had just made a fifty yard field goal

391
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 3: earlier in the game, but he missed from forty seven.

392
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 2: It was wide right, as.

393
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 3: They say, and when that happened, it felt it honestly

394
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 3: felt like not some of the win. A lot of

395
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 3: the wind came out of Houston sale when they went

396
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 3: into the They went into halftime tied, and after engineering

397
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 3: that brilliant drive by CJ's drived to get him in

398
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 3: position to score before halftime when they couldn't capitalize. Something

399
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 3: changed because Houston never seriously threatened to score again. By

400
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:40,200
Speaker 3: the way, the plays of the game, no question, all

401
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 3: three of them were from Lamar Jackson. Go ahead touchdown run,

402
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 3: fourth down run that set up a touchdown pass to

403
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:50,439
Speaker 3: Isaiah Likely, his touchdown passed to Likely. There was a

404
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 3: perfect example of how dangerous Lamar Jackson truly is in

405
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 3: the red zone.

406
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 2: So what's next?

407
00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 3: Will Baltimore They advanced to their fifth AFC title game

408
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 3: and first, believe it or not, it's true since twenty

409
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,680
Speaker 3: twelve and that's when the Ravens upset the Patriots en

410
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 3: route to winning Super Bowl forty seven.

411
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:16,200
Speaker 2: So look, the bottom line is.

412
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 3: The wildcard weekend gave us some surprises, but the divisional

413
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:27,119
Speaker 3: round starts to you start to sort the you know,

414
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 3: the players from the wannabes. Maybe that's not a fair analogy,

415
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 3: but Baltimore looks like they're poised. And we'll get into

416
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 3: Kansas City Buffalo later at length. But coming up, what's

417
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,360
Speaker 3: going on with Jim Harball. Well, I'll tell you. I'll

418
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 3: tell you what I know based on people I talk to,

419
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:49,639
Speaker 3: and can we predict what will happen next? No, but

420
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 3: I'll give you percentages in what I think will happen

421
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:53,440
Speaker 3: next and they're not too far off.

422
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 2: But first let's go to our guy Nick Cope with

423
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 2: the latest.

424
00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 6: What's going on, Bernie? And yeah, I've been great.

425
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 2: How about you go? Yes?

426
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:02,120
Speaker 3: Good?

427
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, Niners managed to find a way, So happy camper

428
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:06,880
Speaker 6: here tonight.

429
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:09,880
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's right. You're Barryer guy.

430
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:13,199
Speaker 6: Yes, sir, So, yeah, I didn't have a good feeling

431
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,920
Speaker 6: going into this game, and for good reason. But as

432
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 6: you said, survive in advance.

433
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:20,679
Speaker 3: Is Deebo Samuel back next week?

434
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:22,440
Speaker 6: I certainly hope so.

435
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 2: Kind of shoulder injury, yeah.

436
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 6: Shoulder injury. Kyline Shanahan did not have an update after

437
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:32,119
Speaker 6: the game as to the severity, But in the past

438
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 6: when he's been limited, even if he plays, it's not

439
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:39,920
Speaker 6: the same because he's got a you know, he's super physical.

440
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 6: He's got to be able to lower his shoulder and

441
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 6: deliver blows. So if he's hampered in any way, I mean,

442
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:47,959
Speaker 6: even if he can go a little bit, it's it's

443
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:49,880
Speaker 6: not even close to the same.

444
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:53,879
Speaker 3: He's a football player, you know, he's a football player's

445
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 3: football player. Yeah, I like him to Lawrence Taylor quarterbacks.

446
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 3: He used to say, when I got under center, the

447
00:23:58,280 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 3: first thing I want to know is where the hell

448
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 3: Lawrence Taylor.

449
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 2: Yep.

450
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,200
Speaker 3: Well, as a defensive coordinator, you better figure out where

451
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:05,119
Speaker 3: Deebo Samuel is because he's gonna wreck you.

452
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 6: Yeah. I think that was part of the problem for

453
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 6: the forty nine ers too. They had to adjust and

454
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:13,639
Speaker 6: figure out what to do now without Deebo Samuel, and

455
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 6: it took him a while to figure it out, but

456
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 6: they found a way. By the way, some of the

457
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:20,440
Speaker 6: numbers for the Ravens and the Texans in that game,

458
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:23,880
Speaker 6: Lamar Jackson the four total touchdowns, two passing, two rushing.

459
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:26,960
Speaker 6: About that Baltimore defense. They held Houston to just two

460
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 6: hundred and thirteen total yards, only thirty eight yards on

461
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:33,159
Speaker 6: the ground for the Texans. CJ. Stroud one hundred and

462
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:36,919
Speaker 6: seventy five yards, no touchdowns, no interceptions. The only touchdown

463
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 6: of the game for the Texans came on that punt return.

464
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 6: As for the forty nine Ers, yes, they're able to

465
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 6: rally from down four at the start of the fourth

466
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 6: quarter to beat the Packers twenty four to twenty one.

467
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:49,880
Speaker 6: Christian McCaffrey had two touchdowns, including that go ahead score

468
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:52,359

469
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:54,440
Speaker 6: to tie the game and the final minute, but Jordan

470
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,880

00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:14,320

Speaker 6: who will be hosting the conference championship games. It will

478
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:20,600

Speaker 6: beating number nine Baylor at the Buzzer. After the game,

489
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 6: Longhorns coach Rodney Terry walked back his comments about Horns

490

Speaker 6: down earlier in the week and apologized for his ran.

491
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 6: After that upset loss against UCF in the NHL, the

492
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:07,880
Speaker 6: Islanders fired to coach Laine Lambert and then hired Patrick

493
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 6: Waugh to be their coach. At the Australian Open, wins

500
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,200
Speaker 3: Boy, Strickland's face looked like a block, pund.

501
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:40,920
Speaker 6: I mean, uh, supply a band there do Placey didn't

502
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:41,920
Speaker 6: look that great either.

503
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 2: That's that's true.

504
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 3: I'll give you that, all right, good stuff, Nick, All right,

505
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:51,360
Speaker 3: let's talk to Jim Harbaugh. E folks, and I'm connected there,

506
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 3: like talk to people who text with Harbaugh.

507
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:55,120
Speaker 2: I talk to people who eat with Harbaugh.

508
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 3: Let's let's let's just cut the crap. Okay, Harbaugh wants

509
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:01,639
Speaker 3: to go back to the NFL. Now, will it happen?

510
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 3: I've said all along. I'll put it at seventy percent

511
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:07,680
Speaker 3: because these deals are complicated. Two years ago, when a

512
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 3: interview with the Vikings, he would have.

513
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:09,880
Speaker 2: Taken that job.

514
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 3: They didn't want him. The Wolfs didn't want him. They

515
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:16,440
Speaker 3: wanted Kevin O'Connell. It was a courtesy interview arranged by

516
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 3: Queasy Adolo Adolpho Mensa, who'd worked with at the forty nine.

517
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 2: Ers last year.

518
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,399
Speaker 3: I believe Denver might have hired Jim Harbaugh had he

519
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:28,919
Speaker 3: wanted it bad enough, but the stars weren't aligned. Harball

520
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 3: knew he had forty four seniors coming back, including Blake

521
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 3: corm and JJ McCarthy, etc.

522
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:34,400
Speaker 2: Etc.

523
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:37,399
Speaker 3: And he got it done. Props to Jim Harbaugh. He

524
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 3: brought Michigan a national championship. Now, if Jim Harball didn't

525
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 3: want to be back in the NFL, and why did

526
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:50,119
Speaker 3: he hire Don Yee, a powerful NFL agent who represented

527
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 3: Sean Payton and negotiating to Denver Deal, who represents Tom Brady. Look,

528
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 3: he said as much many years ago. I'll read a

529
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,440
Speaker 3: quote he said for me. It goes back to February third,

530
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:05,360
Speaker 3: twenty thirteen, when our team in San Francisco got within

531
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 3: five yards one play of winning the Super Bowl. And

532
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:12,159
Speaker 3: Harball said it was recent as two years ago on

533
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,880
Speaker 3: a podcast that Michigan hosts called in the Trenches. Said

534
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:17,639
Speaker 3: two years after that, I left the forty miners to

535
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:19,639
Speaker 3: come to Michigan, and YadA, YadA, ya, you know what happened.

536
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 3: Harball has always believed that the Super Bowl is football's

537
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 3: ultimate prize. That's what he wants, and losing to his brother,

538
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 3: I don't think he ever got over it. So not

539
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:33,920
Speaker 3: only did he not have a Super Bowl, his brother

540
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 3: has one and his brother beat him. Now you can't

541
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 3: get a super Bowl and Ann Arbor facts right, You

542
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 3: with me on this? So Harball's always flirted with the NFL,

543
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 3: and now his stock has never been higher. And the

544
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 3: one opportunity. This is a direct quote from someone told

545
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 3: me two thursdays ago. He's got a man crush on

546
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 3: Justin Herbert. Now we don't know what the Spanos family

547
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 3: is going to do. One of the things that I'm

548
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 3: keeping an eye on is if this Spanos hires a

549
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 3: general manager by the name of Ed Dodds. Well, they

550
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 3: have a connection, and it would seem to me that

551
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 3: if Dodds he's hired, then Harball's not far behind. I

552
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 3: know they both want each other. There may be some

553
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 3: money issues, and it's not so much control issues. It

554
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 3: will make no mistake Harball wants it. But if he's

555
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 3: with a GM he trust and has a history with,

556
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 3: like Ed Dodds, they'll work through that. And the staffing

557
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 3: issues and the analytical team and the strength to all

558
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 3: the things that go along with the NFL staff, which

559
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 3: is pretty monumental. So these things are complicated, and you

560
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 3: know what while you know, while that's being decided. Yeah,

561
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 3: so what he talked to Atlanta? Do I think he's

562
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 3: going there?

563
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 7: No?

564
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 3: And yes, he's still talking to Michigan and they look

565
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 3: any time since late December, Jim harb Ball could have

566
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 3: signed a very lucrative extension that has been on his

567
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 3: desk and make him basically the highest ged coach in

568
00:29:57,760 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 3: college football.

569
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 2: So why hasn't he done?

570
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 3: Why did he intentionally in his last extension negotiate a

571
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 3: buyout that was only one point five million. Why would

572
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 3: you do that? Why would you not sign the extension,

573
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 3: Why would you hire Don Yee? Why would you be

574
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 3: interviewing with teams? And oh, by the way, this contract

575
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:20,240
Speaker 3: with Michigan isn't exactly I mean, it's a Chinese fire

576
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 3: drill in and of itself. He has a major ask

577
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 3: in the contract negotiations that you don't often see. He

578
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 3: wants to have community. He's seeking community from being fired

579
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 3: that could potentially come as a result of any of

580
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 3: the current NCAA investigation, which is going to resume in

581
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 3: the spring. They gave Michigan their ninety day notice of

582
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 3: allegation on cheeseburger Gate, which means Michigan has ninety days

583
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 3: to respond, and they're still not done with the rest

584
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 3: of this stuff in the Connor stallions Michigan. So you know,

585
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 3: Harball was suspended the first three games of the season.

586
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 3: That band was self imposed. Then he served a three

587
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 3: game suspension to close out the season that was imposed

588
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 3: by the Big Ten, which you still got to do

589
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 3: with the NCAA. So Harbaugh is asking for this clause

590
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 3: that would give him immunity, and it's not unprecedented because

591
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 3: Bill self coached Bill self in Kansas.

592
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 2: It's my understanding that's the same thing.

593
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 3: The other ask is, if Harball were to re up

594
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 3: with Michigan, he doesn't want the contract to take effect

595
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 3: until February fifteenth's other month, so he can continue to

596
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 3: flirt with the NFL in that way. Also, his current

597
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 3: BIOT is one point five in. He wants that low

598
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 3: buiot figure to remain in place until the current NFL

599
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:36,720
Speaker 3: hiring cycle concludes. Now, Michigan obviously wants to keep Jim

600
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 3: Harbaugh despite the ongoing NCAA investigations the Wolverines. They have

601
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:44,720
Speaker 3: offered him a six year deal to pay him eleven

602
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 3: and a half million annually, make him the highest paid

603
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 3: coach and cause football. The ad at Michigan Ward Manual.

604
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 3: Jim Harbaugh and Ward Manual have had their times up

605
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 3: and down the last four years, so they have a

606
00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 3: deep history too. They both played at Michigan under both Schambeckler.

607
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 3: So look, no one is really going to know exactly

608
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 3: what is going to happen. But I'm sticking to my

609
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 3: guns that if Jim Harball, what are the odds I

610
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 3: say he'll be back in the NFL. I'm still putting

611
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 3: him squarely at seventy five percent. And if it is

612
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 3: in the NFL, I put it ninety percent. It's with

613
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 3: the Chargers. You notice I didn't say one hundred percent.

614
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 3: People like to selectively listen, but make no mistake, they

615
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 3: want each other. This is actually a very good fit,

616
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 3: very good fit when you all things consider. The Chargers

617
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 3: have their franchise quarterback heading into his prime, and justin Herbert,

618
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 3: a guy like Harball perhaps could help to unlock his

619
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:48,719
Speaker 3: full potential the way that Harball did with Kaepernick. The

620
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 3: heart the Chargers are hiring a general manager, which gives

621
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 3: him the flexibility to, you know, be a team teammate,

622
00:32:56,360 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 3: so to speak of Jim Harball's and again remember this

623
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 3: name Ed Dodds. I really but he's currently the assistant

624
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 3: GM in Indianapolis.

625
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 2: The writers stuff never went anywhere.

626
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 3: Mark Davis did the right thing with Antonio Pearson, and

627
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 3: we'll get that later. But look, Carbos even parlayed for

628
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 3: the Chargers franchise at the end of his career.

629
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 2: So look, do I.

630
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 3: Think this is going to play out another week or so? Yeah,

631
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:22,120
Speaker 3: but not probably not a whole hell of a lot

632
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 3: much longer than that. I'd say a week to ten days. Possibly,

633
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:27,880
Speaker 3: there's really no rush in tersa could be two weeks.

634
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 3: So just because it hasn't happened yet, it doesn't mean

635
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:33,080
Speaker 3: it's going to happen. And every day that goes by,

636
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 3: I think people, well, there's more of a chance to go.

637
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 2: Back to Michigan. I don't know.

638
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 3: Maybe you're right, but based on what because you don't

639
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:44,480
Speaker 3: have an artificial timetable for this, it just doesn't work

640
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:47,959
Speaker 3: that way. Jim Harbaugh is a very eccentric guy, but

641
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 3: remember he can't win a super Bowl in ann Arbor.

642
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 3: He wants to win a super Bowl. He could have

643
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:58,719
Speaker 3: easily signed the extension. He didn't have to sign don Yee,

644
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 3: he didn't have to meet with the Charge and frankly,

645
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 3: it's a great fit for the Chargers. Now will the

646
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 3: Spanos family do with something they've never done and pay

647
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,759
Speaker 3: a coach top dollar? I guess we'll have to find out.

648
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 3: Like I said, I'm giving it seventy five percent hardball's

649
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 3: back in the NFL, and if so, ninety percent it's

650
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:18,760
Speaker 3: with the Chargers, not one hundred. Hear me, Football fans

672
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:24,719
Speaker 3: six am Eastern I Am really looking forward to were

673
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 3: just about twelve hours away now from my beloved Lions,

674
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:29,800
Speaker 3: the team I covered for ten years, part of the

675
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:33,239
Speaker 3: pre and post broadcast team, et cetera. They will host

676
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:35,960
Speaker 3: Tampa Bay. The winner, they are on their way to

677
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:40,120
Speaker 3: the NFC Championship game in San Francisco next week. Kind

678
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:44,160
Speaker 3: of a tale of two teams in the past seven weeks.

679
00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:47,920
Speaker 3: Tampa they had to finish up the season on a roll.

680
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:50,080
Speaker 3: Winning every week was like a playoff game to them.

681
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 3: They were six and one straight up and against the spread. Meanwhile,

682
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 3: the Lions essentially were partying like it was nineteen ninety nine.

683
00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:00,440
Speaker 3: Bad reference. But the Bucks are kind of on all

684
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:04,520
Speaker 3: playing with house money, and you feel like they're gonna

685
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:06,719
Speaker 3: be a little bit more relaxed and a little bit

686
00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:08,880
Speaker 3: more loose. I know it's against a lot of practice

687
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:11,560
Speaker 3: psychology without a license, but I.

688
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:14,080
Speaker 2: Do believe there'll be a lot of pressure on Detroit.

689
00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:18,319
Speaker 3: To now there are real expectations and how do they

690
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:19,560
Speaker 3: handle those expectations.

691
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 2: This is a very good football team.

692
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 3: They finished up last year eight and two down the stretch,

693
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 3: and they carried it over into this year, and there

694
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:28,560
Speaker 3: are still non believers. I don't know what you want.

695
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:30,879
Speaker 3: They're a damn good football team and I'm not gonna

696
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 3: break it down. But if you if you are envisioning

697
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 3: a Tampa Bay win, then you're gonna.

698
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:38,239
Speaker 2: Need to see.

699
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 3: These are the things you're gonna need to see, and

700
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 3: they could happen. Tampa's got to do much better in

701
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:46,840
Speaker 3: the red in the red zone. They were thirtieth in

702
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:50,040
Speaker 3: the league in red zone scoring percentage in the regular season,

703
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:52,239
Speaker 3: and then only they only ranked ahead of the two

704
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:54,840
Speaker 3: New York teams, the Giants and Jets. That's not good.

705
00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:57,440
Speaker 3: And believe it or not, yes, they beat the Eagles

706
00:36:57,480 --> 00:36:59,840
Speaker 3: last week thirty two to nine, but they stunk it

707
00:36:59,920 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 3: up in the red zone. They had to settle for

708
00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:04,760
Speaker 3: field goals on three of their first four drives, including

709
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:07,720
Speaker 3: one from the ted yard line. You don't bring field

710
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:10,480
Speaker 3: goals to a touchdown fight. You don't bring bows and

711
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 3: arrows to a knife fight or gunfight. Three points won't

712
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,280
Speaker 3: get it done against a high powered offense like the Lions.

713
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:19,719
Speaker 3: You're gonna have to finish those drives. Conversely, the Lions,

714
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:22,239
Speaker 3: they're the second most efficient red zone offense in the

715
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:25,319
Speaker 3: National Football League, only behind the forty nine Ers. The

716
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:28,600
Speaker 3: Lions convert their red zone trips into touchdowns twenty percent

717
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 3: of the time, more often than the Bucks. That's a

718
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:35,360
Speaker 3: staggering delta. If that rears a Ted Sunday, tamp is

719
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:38,760
Speaker 3: losing by the way you saw last week Jared Goff

720
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:41,920
Speaker 3: three trips to the red zone, Matt Stafford three trips

721
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:45,480
Speaker 3: to the red zone, Jared Goff three touchdowns. Matt Stafford,

722
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:50,280
Speaker 3: you don't like it? Just one hundred yep. Well, Detroit

723
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:52,600
Speaker 3: is good in the red zone. What else is Tapa

724
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:55,400
Speaker 3: big enough to do. They're gonna really have to attack

725
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:58,360
Speaker 3: the Detroit secondary, and they can with guys like Mike Evans.

726
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 3: This has been the weakness of the line all season.

727
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 3: The Lions ranked twenty seventh in passing yards and passing

728
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 3: touchdowns allowed, well being one of the best at stopping

729
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:12,520
Speaker 3: the run. The Tampa Bay can't run, so we'll see

730
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 3: how that works out. Baker Mayfield has looked, you know,

731
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:21,560
Speaker 3: pretty good against porest passing defenses so far this season.

732
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:24,680
Speaker 3: He torched the Packers, he lit it up against the

733
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:29,239
Speaker 3: Jaguars and Eagles those three games ninety six points. This

734
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:31,640
Speaker 3: could be a shootout. Not really sure about the total

735
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 3: forty nine and a half. I think there's gonna be

736
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:36,400
Speaker 3: nerves early on both sides. And by the way, Baker

737
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:38,759
Speaker 3: Mayfield has a way of stepping up in big games.

738
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:41,160
Speaker 3: I wouldn't doubt that guy. It's gonna be a fun

739
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 3: game to watch. Meanwhile, Tampa Bay, they're gonna have to

740
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 3: put a spy and put a bracket on a Monroth

741
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:50,880
Speaker 3: Saint Brown. He's basically the best wide receiver in Detroit

742
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:52,319
Speaker 3: since Calvin Johnson in.

743
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:53,120
Speaker 2: Terms of production.

744
00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:56,560
Speaker 3: Make no mistake, he is the catalyst to the Lion's success.

745
00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 3: He's the reason they built an eight and two record

746
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 3: when he gets at least one hundred receiving yards. He

747
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 3: did it in the regular season meeting. Remember they beat

748
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:07,080
Speaker 3: Tampa Bay the Lions twenty to six. Back in Week five.

749
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:09,279
Speaker 3: He torched the Bucks one hundred and twenty four yards

750
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:12,440
Speaker 3: and a touchdown on twelve receptions. If Tampa Bay wants

751
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:15,600
Speaker 3: to put the brakes and a speedbump on the Lions offense,

752
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:19,480
Speaker 3: the heartbeat is Amon Ross Saint Brown. They better pierce

753
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:22,880
Speaker 3: his heart. By the way, Tampa Bay defense, I know

754
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:25,160
Speaker 3: this sounds cliche, Feel free.

755
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:25,880
Speaker 2: To force a turnover.

756
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:28,839
Speaker 3: Turnovers are always critical when you're an underdog and you're

757
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:31,359
Speaker 3: going up against one of the best offenses in the NFL.

758
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:36,239
Speaker 3: That helped Tampa Bay get past New Orleans in this

759
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:38,759
Speaker 3: round three years ago en route to a Super Bowl.

760
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:41,279
Speaker 3: Of course, they had Tom Brady. It'll be crucial again

761
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 3: this year. Tampa Bay field to force any turnovers. In

762
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:47,319
Speaker 3: the regular season meeting against Detroit back in Week five,

763
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:50,200
Speaker 3: they lost by two touchdowns. That's going to have to change.

764
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:53,719
Speaker 3: Feel free to force a turnover and finally get to

765
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:55,800
Speaker 3: Jared Goff. The Lions have been one of the league's

766
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:58,960
Speaker 3: best because of their great offensive line and keeping Jared

767
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 3: Goff upright top five and sacks allowed per game during

768
00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:03,440
Speaker 3: the regular season.

769
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:04,880
Speaker 2: Golf not a lot of mobility.

770
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:06,920
Speaker 3: So if you pressure Golf or forces me to get

771
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:09,440
Speaker 3: off his spot to disrupt his timing, or hit him

772
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 3: early and often, that could be a difference, and that

773
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:14,000
Speaker 3: could force a turnover. It could be enough to pull

774
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:16,480
Speaker 3: off the victory if you win the line of scrimmage

775
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:18,799
Speaker 3: and get Golf out of the pocket. By the way,

776
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:21,120
Speaker 3: the Bucks, they rank six in the league in sacks

777
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:23,960
Speaker 3: per game, and if they can get to Golf three

778
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:27,400
Speaker 3: or four times and kill drives, that's your formula for

779
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:30,160
Speaker 3: Tampa Bay winning coming up, but jumps to the NBA.

796
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:20,160
Speaker 2: Mark, how are.

797
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:23,239
Speaker 3: You tonight on this fine cerulean blue sky Saturday night? Wow?

798
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:24,319
Speaker 2: You know the drill.

799
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:26,960
Speaker 8: Every time it's midnight Saturday, it's going well Because I

800
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:29,439
Speaker 8: mean I'm talking NBA with you. I think last week

801
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 8: we predicted there would be a trade that we'd be

802
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:35,640
Speaker 8: talking about lo and behold Pascal to Indiana.

803
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:39,799
Speaker 2: So yeah, I want to I want to hear your thoughts.

804
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 2: I yes, that was certainly in my notes.

805
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:45,920
Speaker 3: Uh, you pair him up with Tyrese Halliburton, all of

806
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:49,120
Speaker 3: a sudden, Indiana looks formidable. Well, Mark, they better be.

807
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:51,880
Speaker 3: They gave up two players and three first round draft picks.

808
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:54,160
Speaker 3: Is just an experiment that's gonna work.

809
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:57,560
Speaker 8: I think it is gonna work. You know. I talked

810
00:41:57,600 --> 00:42:02,839
Speaker 8: with Pascalam's agent, Tom Ramasar, and he was, I think,

811
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:06,880
Speaker 8: really breaking down pretty well why Passalciakam is excited because

812
00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:10,239
Speaker 8: you know, he really respects Tyris Haliburton's game. He can

813
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 8: really coexist with them well with him, well specifically and

814
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:17,440
Speaker 8: as well as Miles Turn. Now there is concern about,

815
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:20,120
Speaker 8: you know, are the Pacers giving up a lot without

816
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:25,040
Speaker 8: any certainty that passcal Siakam would sign extension. But you

817
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:28,040
Speaker 8: read between the lions here. When I pressed that question

818
00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:32,480
Speaker 8: to Ramasar, he said that he could see passed down

819
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:36,000
Speaker 8: in Indiana long term. So it seems like the writings

820
00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 8: on the wall that it's just a matter of when

821
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:41,640
Speaker 8: not if they agree to an extension. Before he becomes

822
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:42,800
Speaker 8: a free agent this summer.

823
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:44,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they're already a pretty good team.

824
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:47,960
Speaker 3: They got to the coveted NBA Cup Finals, right, and

825
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:51,520
Speaker 3: they lost to my next subject, the Los Angeles Lakers. Mark,

826
00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:53,719
Speaker 3: I got to ask you, I'm really following the team

827
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:56,799
Speaker 3: this year more so than in recent years. I have

828
00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:59,279
Speaker 3: one word to describe them, and you can you can

829
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:03,880
Speaker 3: shoot me down a schizophrenic. I mean, they lose to

830
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:06,520
Speaker 3: Phoenix and Utah back to back. Then they turned right

831
00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:09,560
Speaker 3: around and beat a very good OKC team, follow it

832
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:12,319
Speaker 3: up with a victory against Dallas, and then they lose

833
00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:14,920
Speaker 3: it at home to Brooklyn by eighteen the other night.

834
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:18,080
Speaker 3: What honestly, Mark, what's going on there?

835
00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:20,799
Speaker 8: Yeah? I think that you knail on the head. You

836
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:22,920
Speaker 8: never know what version of the Lakers are going to get.

837
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:25,640
Speaker 8: Now some of that. Earlier in the season, we didn't

838
00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:27,359
Speaker 8: know what version of the Lakers were going to get

839
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:30,880
Speaker 8: because we didn't know what roster we would get because

840
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:34,239
Speaker 8: they were overlapping injuries. But this past week alone, you

841
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:36,920
Speaker 8: know the exception that gave Vincent, everyone else has been

842
00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:40,840
Speaker 8: healthy and we've seen the Lakers at their best, beating

843
00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:44,600
Speaker 8: good teams like Dallas and the Clippers, and then we've

844
00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:48,960
Speaker 8: seen them at their worst, losing to a team like Brooklyn,

845
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:52,040
Speaker 8: who is not you know, I guess technically they're in

846
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:54,880
Speaker 8: the play and Tornham picture, but they're not seriously thought

847
00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:57,719
Speaker 8: of as a contender. And so I think that what

848
00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:02,279
Speaker 8: that illustrates is that the supporting cast is inconsistent. I

849
00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:05,360
Speaker 8: think that the real disturbing part of this is that

850
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:08,960
Speaker 8: we anticipate that there might be some turbulence because it's

851
00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:12,840
Speaker 8: Lebron James's twenty first NBA season. Anthony Davis has the

852
00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:16,480
Speaker 8: injury history. So with that, can those guys speak consistently

853
00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:21,040
Speaker 8: healthy and consistently productive And for the most part, they've

854
00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:24,000
Speaker 8: checked those two boxes. You know, they haven't played in

855
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:26,800
Speaker 8: every single game, but they played the most and they've

856
00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:31,400
Speaker 8: usually had good performances. The problem is their role players

857
00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:35,600
Speaker 8: haven't brought the same level of consistency. And maybe you

858
00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:39,280
Speaker 8: can say, Bernie, well, that's what role players are. They're inconsistent.

859
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:43,920
Speaker 8: The look at last season, Yes, their collective identity and

860
00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:47,399
Speaker 8: that depth is really the key that ignited that light

861
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:50,879
Speaker 8: playoff push, and they've kept that care for the most part.

862
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:53,480
Speaker 8: They added a few pieces here or there. They should

863
00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:56,359
Speaker 8: be much better in the standings than they are now,

864
00:44:56,440 --> 00:44:59,480
Speaker 8: even when you're accounting from some of those overlapping injuries

865
00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:00,840
Speaker 8: ear of the season.

866
00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:03,239
Speaker 2: No, that's exactly right.

867
00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:08,440
Speaker 3: Talk with Mark Medina Medina Magic every Saturday night at midnight.

868
00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:11,680
Speaker 2: Our Fox Sports Radio NBA Guru.

869
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:14,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Lakers are like Sisyphis, pushing the rock up

870
00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:16,320
Speaker 3: the hill. Every time I look up, there's still tenth.

871
00:45:16,680 --> 00:45:20,279
Speaker 3: They really can't move, and so I want to stay

872
00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:23,760
Speaker 3: on there for a second because I've always enjoyed Darvin Ham.

873
00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:26,920
Speaker 3: I remember I covered the four Pistons in Detroit. He

874
00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:29,880
Speaker 3: was a role player on that team. Brought a physical latitude,

875
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:33,279
Speaker 3: brought a workman like effort, a lunchbox guy, very well respected.

876
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:36,000
Speaker 2: For the first time, I looked at the countenance on.

877
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:38,760
Speaker 3: His face the other night, and I saw extreme concern,

878
00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:40,560
Speaker 3: like he's not sure if he can figure this way

879
00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:42,719
Speaker 3: out of this. He says, we no more excuses. We

880
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:45,480
Speaker 3: just got to play. Sometimes you run out of speeches.

881
00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:48,120
Speaker 3: How is Darvin Ham in this hole? Mixing your view?

882
00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:51,400
Speaker 8: Yeah, well, I don't think he's going anywhere. It was

883
00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:54,040
Speaker 8: very clear, you know, when a few weeks ago the

884
00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:57,920
Speaker 8: athletic report of the players were doing frustraate and losing

885
00:45:57,960 --> 00:46:01,640
Speaker 8: faith in him. The front off doesn't feel that way

886
00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:05,000
Speaker 8: right now, so you know, he's in good standing there.

887
00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:08,799
Speaker 8: And I think when you're looking at the struggles with

888
00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:12,880
Speaker 8: the Lakers, there's always the percentage blame high. Darvin Ham

889
00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:16,560
Speaker 8: deserves a few slices, but I think the bigger slices

890
00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:19,960
Speaker 8: go to the injuries and also go to the to

891
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:24,680
Speaker 8: the role players. You know, Darvinham, He's had mixed success

892
00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:28,400
Speaker 8: as well as weaknesses with his rotations, making the right

893
00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:32,000
Speaker 8: combinations x's and o's and all that. But I think

894
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:35,000
Speaker 8: that he manages the personality as well, and the fact

895
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:38,080
Speaker 8: that he does have kind of a glass half fool

896
00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:43,640
Speaker 8: really helps with the team with getting through frustrations. So again,

897
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:47,040
Speaker 8: I'm not going to entirely say he doesn't deserve any scrutiny,

898
00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:50,120
Speaker 8: but I think more of the scrutiny is on, you know,

899
00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:54,120
Speaker 8: the roster itself. But yeah, obviously, as we know in

900
00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:57,480
Speaker 8: professional sports, if it gets to this point, you know,

901
00:46:57,560 --> 00:47:00,880
Speaker 8: throughout the season, all of a sudden, you shouldn't be

902
00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:03,720
Speaker 8: surprised the front office feels differently. But that's me saying

903
00:47:03,719 --> 00:47:07,160
Speaker 8: that the front office has always been stressing to me

904
00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:12,560
Speaker 8: these last few weeks that they really appreciate Darvin. They're patient,

905
00:47:13,120 --> 00:47:16,040
Speaker 8: they cite the injuries, and they know that. You know,

906
00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:19,680
Speaker 8: in their view, a head coach of success is only

907
00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:21,920
Speaker 8: as good as the roster is, and right now they

908
00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:25,160
Speaker 8: just feel like the roster hasn't played up to capabilities.

909
00:47:25,560 --> 00:47:27,000
Speaker 2: Well, I think that's spot on.

910
00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:30,680
Speaker 3: So as such, we're nearing the trade deadline of February eighth.

911
00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:33,359
Speaker 3: Do you expect the Lakers to move Heaven and Earth

912
00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:36,000
Speaker 3: like they did last year, which essentially got them right

913
00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:36,439
Speaker 3: at the shit.

914
00:47:36,920 --> 00:47:39,400
Speaker 8: I don't think they can move on Earth because they

915
00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:42,359
Speaker 8: don't have the same assets Russell Westbrook, for all his

916
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:46,759
Speaker 8: scrutiny that he got for not being right still with

917
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:49,200
Speaker 8: the Lakers, he at least was a star player that

918
00:47:49,239 --> 00:47:52,359
Speaker 8: could net something in return. Here. The Lakers might have

919
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:54,680
Speaker 8: some needs, but they don't have the assets to give

920
00:47:54,719 --> 00:47:57,520
Speaker 8: them up, and so I think really the only player

921
00:47:57,640 --> 00:48:00,720
Speaker 8: that's of trade value that they're really comfortable with dealing

922
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:06,120
Speaker 8: is D'Angel Russell because he's on an expiring contract and

923
00:48:06,719 --> 00:48:08,879
Speaker 8: you know, he is a player that has very well

924
00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:13,919
Speaker 8: documented strengths and weaknesses. Strengths passing, knowing how to run

925
00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:17,960
Speaker 8: an offense, can hit a shot, weaknesses, is a streaky shooter,

926
00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:21,359
Speaker 8: and even though he's shown some improvement in defense, he's

927
00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:24,640
Speaker 8: not ever going to be an elite defender. But what

928
00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:27,919
Speaker 8: will that get you in return? I don't know, if

929
00:48:28,040 --> 00:48:31,919
Speaker 8: much at all. And I think at this point they're

930
00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:35,279
Speaker 8: very it's not to say they're untouchable, but they're very

931
00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:39,000
Speaker 8: reluctant to give up a player like Ruly Hatchamora in

932
00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:42,120
Speaker 8: Austin rees because they believe in their growth and development.

933
00:48:42,640 --> 00:48:45,760
Speaker 8: But they're also I think the larger point a concern

934
00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:49,560
Speaker 8: about what they can get in return, and the other

935
00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:53,520
Speaker 8: concern about not having enough roster debts. You know, the

936
00:48:53,560 --> 00:48:56,879
Speaker 8: reality is sure, as much as we're scrutinizing their lack

937
00:48:56,920 --> 00:49:01,040
Speaker 8: of depth here, if you stripped themselves of even more

938
00:49:01,120 --> 00:49:03,400
Speaker 8: depth just to get a quote unquote third star, like

939
00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:08,320
Speaker 8: a zach Lavine, that could create more problems and solve them.

940
00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:11,680
Speaker 3: Talking with Mark Madena are NBA Fox Sports Radio guru

941
00:49:11,800 --> 00:49:15,160
Speaker 3: Medina Magic every Saturday night, twelve midnight on the Bernie

942
00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:17,920
Speaker 3: Frattle Show, speaking of stars, you wrote a great piece

943
00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:21,680
Speaker 3: this week in Sports not I am in complete agreement

944
00:49:21,719 --> 00:49:24,880
Speaker 3: that I think chet Holmgren should be the front runner

945
00:49:24,920 --> 00:49:26,759
Speaker 3: for Rookie of the Year because the point you made

946
00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:30,760
Speaker 3: and why you can't penalize Victor wibin Yama for playing

947
00:49:30,760 --> 00:49:33,960
Speaker 3: on a team that's not good, Holmgreen is truly a

948
00:49:34,040 --> 00:49:37,880
Speaker 3: significant contributor to a team that's very good. Your thoughts,

949
00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:41,560
Speaker 3: Can Chet Holmgren shake this up and win the Rookie

950
00:49:41,600 --> 00:49:41,719
Speaker 3: of the.

951
00:49:41,760 --> 00:49:45,640
Speaker 8: Year, oh without a doubt. I mean I stated my case,

952
00:49:45,719 --> 00:49:49,360
Speaker 8: and obviously things are subject to change with injuries to

953
00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:53,040
Speaker 8: both players and just you know, maybe potential wild cards

954
00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:56,200
Speaker 8: coming up. But I think the way it's playing on

955
00:49:56,360 --> 00:50:00,080
Speaker 8: track now is Check clearly has two things that to

956
00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:02,719
Speaker 8: his advantace. It's not going to change. He's on a

957
00:50:02,760 --> 00:50:05,840
Speaker 8: winning team. The Spurs are hands of the lottery. Chut

958
00:50:05,840 --> 00:50:08,120
Speaker 8: Holmgreen is going to play more games than Victor one

959
00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:13,040
Speaker 8: Binyama because Victor one Benyama has already been sidelined with

960
00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:17,600
Speaker 8: some injuries and also facing minutes restrictions not playing back

961
00:50:17,640 --> 00:50:20,120
Speaker 8: to backs. But I think the bigger thing is that

962
00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:24,200
Speaker 8: Chet Holmgren, even though Victor one Binyama has outperformed him,

963
00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:27,120
Speaker 8: he's shown that he can still be an efficient scorer

964
00:50:27,560 --> 00:50:29,719
Speaker 8: and being versatile with that as well as being a

965
00:50:29,719 --> 00:50:34,520
Speaker 8: reliable defender. And while I think the larger point that

966
00:50:34,560 --> 00:50:38,200
Speaker 8: you made that you know, Victor shouldn't be penalized for

967
00:50:38,880 --> 00:50:41,760
Speaker 8: being on a losing team. When you look at NBA

968
00:50:41,960 --> 00:50:46,359
Speaker 8: history with Rookie of the Year, you know awards, it

969
00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:50,320
Speaker 8: has typically gone to a player that has at least

970
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:55,840
Speaker 8: impacted a team to have a net positive in wins,

971
00:50:56,640 --> 00:50:59,440
Speaker 8: and that won't apply to the Spurs this season. So

972
00:50:59,680 --> 00:51:01,880
Speaker 8: I think with that chet Holmnern will get it. But

973
00:51:02,480 --> 00:51:04,279
Speaker 8: it's going to be a tight two man race. I

974
00:51:04,280 --> 00:51:05,200
Speaker 8: think for the very end.

975
00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:10,080
Speaker 3: Oh, there's no question, and you never know, you know,

976
00:51:10,239 --> 00:51:12,480
Speaker 3: you know, it's a subjective thing. I think would you

977
00:51:12,480 --> 00:51:12,799
Speaker 3: would do?

978
00:51:12,880 --> 00:51:13,319
Speaker 2: Is that fair?

979
00:51:13,400 --> 00:51:16,440
Speaker 3: A lot of the times it's subjective to people's personal

980
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:20,480
Speaker 3: viewpoints and opinions, and you know what they're what their

981
00:51:20,520 --> 00:51:22,440
Speaker 3: own criterion is. But you know, if you if you

982
00:51:22,480 --> 00:51:25,520
Speaker 3: look back through the years, you know, whether it's the

983
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:30,160
Speaker 3: Luka Doncics, the Ben Simmons and Malcolm Brogden's the Karl

984
00:51:30,160 --> 00:51:33,600
Speaker 3: Anthony Towns. It seemed to me that that ended up

985
00:51:33,640 --> 00:51:36,200
Speaker 3: being the obvious choice, even last year with Paula Ben Carrol.

986
00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:37,120
Speaker 2: So we'll see what happens.

987
00:51:37,600 --> 00:51:40,839
Speaker 3: You really could read I recommend people check it out

988
00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:45,040
Speaker 3: on sports Not Finally, we got treated marked to something

989
00:51:45,120 --> 00:51:48,480
Speaker 3: you don't often see on a random Tuesday night in

990
00:51:48,520 --> 00:51:53,440
Speaker 3: the NBA, an incredibly exciting game in Philadelphia between the

991
00:51:53,480 --> 00:51:57,040
Speaker 3: Nuggets and Sixers. Game was tied at one eleven. You

992
00:51:57,080 --> 00:52:01,200
Speaker 3: know what happened? Could this be a possible preview of

993
00:52:01,239 --> 00:52:03,640
Speaker 3: the NBA Finals? I know, I know Denver can get

994
00:52:03,640 --> 00:52:06,359
Speaker 3: there again, but in Philly, boy, they look good when

995
00:52:06,360 --> 00:52:09,080
Speaker 3: they when they bring their a game, they look almost unbeatable.

996
00:52:09,239 --> 00:52:13,239
Speaker 8: Philadelphia, Well, this week the Nuggets played two really good

997
00:52:13,280 --> 00:52:16,759
Speaker 8: games that could be finals previews. You mentioned the Sixers game.

998
00:52:17,160 --> 00:52:19,600
Speaker 8: How about the Celtics game on Friday night as well

999
00:52:19,719 --> 00:52:21,879
Speaker 8: that went down to the wire. But I think what

1000
00:52:21,920 --> 00:52:25,440
Speaker 8: we've seen is that the Denver Nuggets they're the real deal.

1001
00:52:26,239 --> 00:52:29,239
Speaker 8: You know, they have the continuity, they're they're playing for

1002
00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:31,800
Speaker 8: big moments, but they're also going to have their hands

1003
00:52:31,800 --> 00:52:35,080
Speaker 8: full against some really good Eastern Conference teams. And so

1004
00:52:35,920 --> 00:52:38,360
Speaker 8: I think the thing that's chound you in Philadelphia is

1005
00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:41,400
Speaker 8: that even though they're playing really well, even better without

1006
00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:46,640
Speaker 8: James Harden, you can't quite ignore the fact that Joel

1007
00:52:46,640 --> 00:52:50,200
Speaker 8: Embiid has missed a significant amount of time, and because

1008
00:52:50,200 --> 00:52:53,719
Speaker 8: of an injury history, you always fear that dynamites just

1009
00:52:53,800 --> 00:52:56,840
Speaker 8: around the corner, and not only will that impact, could

1010
00:52:56,840 --> 00:52:59,959
Speaker 8: that impact their playoffs or you know, the championship chances.

1011
00:53:00,719 --> 00:53:03,920
Speaker 8: It could even throw a wrench into the MVP discussion

1012
00:53:04,080 --> 00:53:07,319
Speaker 8: because now you know, the NBA as a policy, has

1013
00:53:07,400 --> 00:53:10,040
Speaker 8: put in that you have to play at least sixty

1014
00:53:10,040 --> 00:53:13,320
Speaker 8: five games to be eligible here. So, yeah, the Sixers

1015
00:53:13,320 --> 00:53:16,080
Speaker 8: are the real deal. They're threatening the East. They're going

1016
00:53:16,160 --> 00:53:18,719
Speaker 8: to have their hands full of Boston Milwaukee. But I

1017
00:53:18,760 --> 00:53:21,200
Speaker 8: would give Boston the edge because they have the best

1018
00:53:21,239 --> 00:53:24,480
Speaker 8: starting lineup in the NBA right now, and while they

1019
00:53:24,480 --> 00:53:28,239
Speaker 8: do have their own question marks pertain to health. With

1020
00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:31,880
Speaker 8: Christos Porzingis, so far, he's shown he's healthy and I

1021
00:53:31,920 --> 00:53:34,560
Speaker 8: know talking to him, you know, last season, in this season,

1022
00:53:34,960 --> 00:53:37,240
Speaker 8: this season with the Celtics, last season with the Wizards,

1023
00:53:37,680 --> 00:53:41,480
Speaker 8: he's really enhanced his training regiment where you know, a

1024
00:53:41,520 --> 00:53:45,360
Speaker 8: lot of it is just a lot of focus on stretching,

1025
00:53:45,560 --> 00:53:48,560
Speaker 8: working with his hips, working with his knees, so he

1026
00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:52,440
Speaker 8: has a lot better postural balance. And I think that

1027
00:53:52,560 --> 00:53:55,480
Speaker 8: you know, that's not going to keep him injury free completely,

1028
00:53:55,880 --> 00:53:59,000
Speaker 8: but I think that that will help avoid the difference

1029
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:00,640
Speaker 8: between a minor and injury.

1030
00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:05,520
Speaker 3: Mark, great stuff is always appreciated man, and obviously you

1031
00:54:06,040 --> 00:54:06,600
Speaker 3: certainly have.

1032
00:54:06,560 --> 00:54:07,479
Speaker 2: Your finger on the pulse.

1033

Speaker 3: We look forward to what the league brings us news wise,

Speaker 3: about what we learned today, some playoff trends and things

1051
00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:10,239
Speaker 3: to avoid, and we'll look ahead to Sunday's double header,

1052
00:55:10,239 --> 00:55:13,160
Speaker 3: And speaking of Sunday's doubleheader, the thought on my mind

1053
00:55:14,040 --> 00:55:17,960
Speaker 3: can the Kansas City Chiefs make it six in a row? Well,

1054
00:55:18,360 --> 00:55:21,360
Speaker 3: we'll explain. I'll give you my thoughts. I'm Bernie Fraddle.

1055
00:55:21,360 --> 00:55:23,840
Speaker 3: We're company lying from Las Vegas, Fox Sports Radio, Tirat

Speaker 2: Keep it locked right here. You're listening to the Bernie

1058
00:55:26,960 --> 00:55:28,480
Speaker 2: Fraddle Show on Fox Sports Radio.

1059
00:55:30,160 --> 00:55:32,240
Speaker 3: All right back at the Bernie Fraddle Show, Fox Sports

1060
00:55:32,320 --> 00:55:34,879
Speaker 3: Radio Comedy Live from the tyrack dot com studios here

1061
00:55:34,880 --> 00:55:37,560
Speaker 3: in Las Vegas. Coming at bottom of the hour, right

1062
00:55:37,600 --> 00:55:41,480
Speaker 3: after Nick's update, Feasick, Steve Fessick and the Phasik five,

1063
00:55:42,080 --> 00:55:45,560
Speaker 3: we'll talk about takeaways from the playoffs, the importance of

1064
00:55:46,680 --> 00:55:48,600
Speaker 3: laying two and a half versus three, you know, all

1065
00:55:48,640 --> 00:55:51,560
Speaker 3: the good stuff, and of course what Fez learned from

1066
00:55:51,600 --> 00:55:56,120
Speaker 3: today's outcomes, and we'll look ahead to Sunday's doubleheader. As

1067
00:55:56,200 --> 00:55:59,239
Speaker 3: we we're down to the short strokes now. There are

1068
00:55:59,320 --> 00:56:04,040
Speaker 3: only five games remaining in the entire NFL season, culminating

1069
00:56:04,040 --> 00:56:07,000
Speaker 3: in the Super Bowl three weeks from today here in

1070
00:56:07,080 --> 00:56:09,759
Speaker 3: Las Vegas. So the question I left you with in

1071
00:56:09,880 --> 00:56:11,560
Speaker 3: Kansas City, make it six in a row. What am

1072
00:56:11,600 --> 00:56:15,120
Speaker 3: I talking about? If the Chiefs win Sunday in Buffalo,

1073
00:56:15,200 --> 00:56:20,440
Speaker 3: they're fifteen hours away from kickoff. Well, they will advance

1074
00:56:20,520 --> 00:56:23,360
Speaker 3: to the AFC Championship Game for the sixth year in

1075
00:56:23,360 --> 00:56:27,000
Speaker 3: a row. But Patrick Mahomes will do something he's never

1076
00:56:27,040 --> 00:56:30,120
Speaker 3: done in his career in the history of the National

1077
00:56:30,200 --> 00:56:33,520
Speaker 3: Football League. How's that for drama? He'll have to play

1078
00:56:33,520 --> 00:56:35,560
Speaker 3: a playoff game in front of a hostile crowd on

1079
00:56:35,640 --> 00:56:39,800
Speaker 3: the road. Prior to this year, all of those games,

1080
00:56:40,640 --> 00:56:42,400
Speaker 3: save for the Super Bowl, have been played in the

1081
00:56:42,440 --> 00:56:45,960
Speaker 3: confines of what Arrowhead geehow whatever the hell you call

1082
00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:49,120
Speaker 3: the damn thing. But Patrick Maholmes has made fifteen starts

1083
00:56:49,120 --> 00:56:52,200
Speaker 3: in his postseason career in the last six seasons as

1084
00:56:52,239 --> 00:56:54,440
Speaker 3: the Chiefs quarterback, but none of them have come on

1085
00:56:54,480 --> 00:56:57,200
Speaker 3: the road. Why Well, they've always earned one of the

1086
00:56:57,239 --> 00:56:59,680
Speaker 3: top two seeds in the AFC each of the past

1087
00:56:59,680 --> 00:57:03,440
Speaker 3: five seasons, which of course helped them reach five straight

1088
00:57:03,480 --> 00:57:05,560
Speaker 3: conference title games. But if they want to make it

1089
00:57:05,600 --> 00:57:07,919
Speaker 3: six in a row, they're going to have to knock

1090
00:57:07,960 --> 00:57:12,600
Speaker 3: off the Bills in Buffalo. Now, Kansas City's regular season

1091
00:57:12,680 --> 00:57:16,440
Speaker 3: brilliance really, I mean, they've got a bit of a

1092
00:57:16,480 --> 00:57:19,880
Speaker 3: smoother path through the playoffs over the past decade. But

1093
00:57:21,680 --> 00:57:24,760
Speaker 3: you know you're a successful organization When eleven and six

1094
00:57:24,920 --> 00:57:29,800
Speaker 3: is considered a down season, it's an indication that you've

1095
00:57:29,800 --> 00:57:33,720
Speaker 3: had some struggles in air quotes, but they were eleven

1096
00:57:33,760 --> 00:57:36,960
Speaker 3: and six. That's the worst record since Patrick Maholmes toick

1097
00:57:37,000 --> 00:57:40,200
Speaker 3: over for Alex Smith back in twenty seventeen, which means

1098
00:57:40,480 --> 00:57:43,600
Speaker 3: they're likely going to have to win two games on

1099
00:57:43,640 --> 00:57:45,800
Speaker 3: the road in the Super Bowl. Well, not likely they're

1100
00:57:45,800 --> 00:57:48,160
Speaker 3: going to have to because Baltimore got beat today. If

1101
00:57:48,200 --> 00:57:50,800
Speaker 3: Houston would have prevailed, well Kansas City might have been

1102
00:57:50,840 --> 00:57:54,680
Speaker 3: able to host the AFC Championship game, but that ain't happening.

1103
00:57:55,160 --> 00:57:56,640
Speaker 2: I would not look past Buffalo.

1104
00:57:57,720 --> 00:58:00,919
Speaker 3: But there's no reason to believe that Patrick Mahomes isn't

1105
00:58:00,960 --> 00:58:02,920
Speaker 3: equally prepared for a road playoff game. This is a

1106
00:58:02,960 --> 00:58:05,919
Speaker 3: guy's a veteran. He's played in big games away from

1107
00:58:05,920 --> 00:58:09,160
Speaker 3: home before, and he's got a twelve and three record

1108
00:58:09,160 --> 00:58:11,920
Speaker 3: in the postseason. But the added challenge of going on

1109
00:58:11,920 --> 00:58:16,040
Speaker 3: the road is something this This Chiefs team is feeling

1110
00:58:16,080 --> 00:58:18,040
Speaker 3: like they're a bit on unshorted waters now and it

1111
00:58:18,080 --> 00:58:21,120
Speaker 3: feels like it's got to be a little uncomfortable. The

1112
00:58:21,200 --> 00:58:24,400
Speaker 3: reason the Chiefs slip to the number three seed is

1113
00:58:24,400 --> 00:58:28,520
Speaker 3: because they have shown throughout the year serious issues on offense,

1114
00:58:28,880 --> 00:58:32,360
Speaker 3: whether it's drop passes like Week one with Kadarius Tony

1115
00:58:32,800 --> 00:58:33,640
Speaker 3: or throughout the year.

1116
00:58:33,720 --> 00:58:35,960
Speaker 2: I mean this and it's not.

1117
00:58:36,080 --> 00:58:38,480
Speaker 3: Don't tell me it's because of Tyreek Kill, because the

1118
00:58:38,560 --> 00:58:41,919
Speaker 3: Chiefs won a Super Bowl last year without Tyreek Hill.

1119
00:58:42,480 --> 00:58:46,000
Speaker 3: But there's a reason Kansas City ranks fifteenth in total

1120
00:58:46,040 --> 00:58:49,520
Speaker 3: scoring the season. This is the first time in Patrick

1121
00:58:49,520 --> 00:58:52,200
Speaker 3: Mahomes's tenure they've ranked lower than sixth.

1122
00:58:52,920 --> 00:58:52,960
Speaker 9: No.

1123
00:58:53,320 --> 00:58:57,600
Speaker 2: Again, the Chiefs are a public team. People watch them.

1124
00:58:58,560 --> 00:59:00,600
Speaker 3: You know, it doesn't hurt that Taylor's swift is now

1125
00:59:00,600 --> 00:59:04,720
Speaker 3: in the bandwagon. She's only brought more viewers and everybody's

1126
00:59:04,800 --> 00:59:07,520
Speaker 3: now familiar by the way. The Chiefs has struggled in

1127
00:59:07,560 --> 00:59:12,440
Speaker 3: the passing game, namely because their receivers have issues dropping passes.

1128
00:59:13,040 --> 00:59:15,280
Speaker 2: The Chiefs. We're talking about the Chiefs here.

1129
00:59:15,640 --> 00:59:18,720
Speaker 3: They led the National Football season, National Football League and

1130
00:59:18,800 --> 00:59:22,400
Speaker 3: drops this season with forty four and they dropped percentage

1131
00:59:22,440 --> 00:59:28,120
Speaker 3: of seven percent. That's brutal, completely unacceptable. But somehow Maholmes

1132
00:59:28,160 --> 00:59:31,400
Speaker 3: was able to find a winning formula last week's game

1133
00:59:31,440 --> 00:59:32,480
Speaker 3: against the Miami.

1134
00:59:32,200 --> 00:59:34,320
Speaker 2: Dolphins, just simply.

1135
00:59:33,960 --> 00:59:38,280
Speaker 3: Targeting two receivers, Rashi Rice, who might become a household

1136
00:59:38,360 --> 00:59:41,240
Speaker 3: name if he does the trickery buffalo again on Sunday.

1137
00:59:41,680 --> 00:59:48,880
Speaker 3: Rash r Ashee Rice, like Jerry Rice, was targeted twelve

1138
00:59:48,880 --> 00:59:49,720
Speaker 3: times last week.

1139
00:59:49,920 --> 00:59:50,760
Speaker 2: He responded.

1140
00:59:51,320 --> 00:59:53,200
Speaker 3: Threw him into the fire, and he responded, called eight

1141
00:59:53,200 --> 00:59:55,520
Speaker 3: passes one hundred and thirty yards in her touchdown. Meanwhile,

1142
00:59:56,240 --> 01:00:00,439
Speaker 3: Travis kelce he ain't going anywhere. Targeted ten times, seven

1143
01:00:00,480 --> 01:00:05,520
Speaker 3: passes for seventy one yards. Now after that, no other

1144
01:00:05,600 --> 01:00:08,560
Speaker 3: Chiefs player caught more than two passes or was targeted

1145
01:00:08,640 --> 01:00:12,520
Speaker 3: more than three times. So Rashi Rice, here's your chance.

1146
01:00:12,640 --> 01:00:15,160
Speaker 3: Every day in America, someone wakes up and a new

1147
01:00:15,160 --> 01:00:17,680
Speaker 3: star is born. He was a second round pick out

1148
01:00:17,720 --> 01:00:20,880
Speaker 3: of SMU. He's a very reliable target for Mahomes and

1149
01:00:20,920 --> 01:00:24,840
Speaker 3: it all comes down to trust. And it wasn't just

1150
01:00:25,040 --> 01:00:28,640
Speaker 3: last week against Miami. Rashi Rice has been averaging ninety

1151
01:00:28,640 --> 01:00:31,240
Speaker 3: three years receiving in his last seven games. That's a

1152
01:00:31,320 --> 01:00:34,720
Speaker 3: very positive development for Kansas City. Let's face it, they've

1153
01:00:34,720 --> 01:00:37,840
Speaker 3: been in desperate need of someone to compliment Travis Kelcey.

1154
01:00:37,920 --> 01:00:41,520
Speaker 3: But what happens if the Bills, who boast easily one

1155
01:00:41,520 --> 01:00:45,160
Speaker 3: of the past the best pass defenses in the league,

1156
01:00:45,720 --> 01:00:49,720
Speaker 3: are able to shut down Rice Patrick Mahomes is going

1157
01:00:49,800 --> 01:00:53,960
Speaker 3: to have to do some other worldly things and you

1158
01:00:54,080 --> 01:00:57,520
Speaker 3: gotta feel like I feel like this is Buffalo's year.

1159
01:00:57,560 --> 01:00:58,960
Speaker 3: But we're gonna get into that in a minute with

1160
01:00:58,960 --> 01:01:02,680
Speaker 3: Steve Vezik can talk about the pros and cons. I

1161
01:01:02,760 --> 01:01:05,000
Speaker 3: know right now that the Bills are laying two and

1162
01:01:05,040 --> 01:01:08,120
Speaker 3: a half. I haven't done anything on this game, but

1163
01:01:08,200 --> 01:01:10,600
Speaker 3: quite honestly, I think you're getting the Bills at a

1164
01:01:10,600 --> 01:01:12,120
Speaker 3: pretty cheap price here. I get it.

1165
01:01:12,400 --> 01:01:12,840
Speaker 2: I get it.

1166
01:01:13,400 --> 01:01:16,919
Speaker 3: Gimme Reid Mahomes and company. And as a dog, they're

1167
01:01:16,960 --> 01:01:20,120
Speaker 3: an auto play. But not this Chiefs team is not

1168
01:01:20,240 --> 01:01:22,560
Speaker 3: the same. So hold that thought because coming up after

1169
01:01:22,640 --> 01:01:25,240
Speaker 3: Nick Cops update, we are going to go to Steve

1170
01:01:25,280 --> 01:01:27,560
Speaker 3: Pick and the Physik five and talk about that game,

1171
01:01:27,600 --> 01:01:31,360
Speaker 3: among many other things. But before we do that, let's

1172
01:01:31,400 --> 01:01:34,240
Speaker 3: go back to the aforementioned Nick Cope with the latest.

1173
01:01:34,720 --> 01:01:37,160
Speaker 6: All right, thank you, Bernie. We do know whoever wins

1174
01:01:37,200 --> 01:01:39,600
Speaker 6: that game tomorrow and Buffalo they will be headed to

1175
01:01:39,680 --> 01:01:43,680
Speaker 6: Baltimore next Sunday for the AFC championship game. It's because

1176
01:01:43,720 --> 01:01:46,200
Speaker 6: the Ravens took care of the Texans with a great

1177
01:01:46,280 --> 01:01:49,400
Speaker 6: second half thirty four to ten the final score. Lamar

1178
01:01:49,520 --> 01:01:52,680
Speaker 6: Jackson was the star in this one, two touchdowns passing,

1179
01:01:52,720 --> 01:01:56,120
Speaker 6: two more rushing, and then that Baltimore defense was stout.

1180
01:01:56,160 --> 01:01:59,760
Speaker 6: They held Houston to just two hundred and thirteen total yards.

1181
01:02:00,080 --> 01:02:02,800
Speaker 6: Texans only got a touchdown on special teams. They had

1182
01:02:02,840 --> 01:02:05,520
Speaker 6: a punt return for TD in the second quarter that

1183
01:02:05,640 --> 01:02:08,160
Speaker 6: tied the game at ten to ten, and then it

1184
01:02:08,200 --> 01:02:12,880
Speaker 6: was twenty four consecutive points for the Ravens. Niners rallied

1185
01:02:12,920 --> 01:02:15,360
Speaker 6: from down seven in the fourth quarter to knockoff the

1186
01:02:15,400 --> 01:02:18,840
Speaker 6: Packers twenty four to twenty one. It was the first

1187
01:02:18,880 --> 01:02:21,800
Speaker 6: time the forty nine Ers under head coach Kyle Shanahan

1188
01:02:21,960 --> 01:02:26,000
Speaker 6: won a game trailing by five or more points entering

1189
01:02:26,080 --> 01:02:30,360
Speaker 6: the fourth quarter, first time in thirty two tries. Christian

1190
01:02:30,440 --> 01:02:33,720
Speaker 6: McCaffrey had two touchdowns, including the go ahead score with

1191
01:02:33,760 --> 01:02:36,000
Speaker 6: a minute to play, and then Green Bay had a

1192
01:02:36,120 --> 01:02:38,200
Speaker 6: chance to come down kick a field goal tie to

1193
01:02:38,240 --> 01:02:41,880
Speaker 6: the game. Late Jordan Love threw a second interception to

1194
01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:45,360
Speaker 6: Dre Greenlaw. Aaron Jones ran for one hundred and eight

1195
01:02:45,440 --> 01:02:47,680
Speaker 6: yards on the ground for Green Bay Jordan Love one

1196
01:02:47,760 --> 01:02:51,200
Speaker 6: hundred and ninety four yards two touchdowns, but those two interceptions.

1197
01:02:51,600 --> 01:02:54,360
Speaker 6: Forty nine Ers receiver Deebo Samuel left with a shoulder

1198
01:02:54,400 --> 01:02:58,760
Speaker 6: injury did not return. A team source reportedly told ESPN

1199
01:02:58,840 --> 01:03:01,840
Speaker 6: that they believe sam had a chance has a chance

1200
01:03:01,880 --> 01:03:04,720
Speaker 6: to play next week, but no official word was given

1201
01:03:04,760 --> 01:03:09,360
Speaker 6: from coach Kyle Shanahan in his postgame press conference. College basketball,

Speaker 2: I'll just say this.

1221
01:04:14,440 --> 01:04:18,160
Speaker 3: You typically hear him on our show during football season

1222
01:04:18,160 --> 01:04:20,680
Speaker 3: eleven pm Pacific on Saturday night.

1223
01:04:20,680 --> 01:04:22,080

Speaker 3: Maybe a concert review before we start?

1235
01:04:58,400 --> 01:05:01,439
Speaker 10: No, just had a fam the issue here, so all

1236
01:05:01,480 --> 01:05:04,000
Speaker 10: good and finally feeling a little bit better. Sorry I

1237
01:05:04,080 --> 01:05:06,640
Speaker 10: missed the show. Left weekend with only four games to

1238
01:05:06,640 --> 01:05:09,760
Speaker 10: talk about, two already played. Not really a fire hose

1239
01:05:09,800 --> 01:05:10,640
Speaker 10: as much this week.

1240
01:05:11,120 --> 01:05:13,760
Speaker 3: Well, but folks are going to get to hear some

1241
01:05:13,880 --> 01:05:17,440
Speaker 3: of that physic wisdom because you have always been a

1242
01:05:17,440 --> 01:05:21,240
Speaker 3: proponent of one specific lesson of the playoffs, that one

1243
01:05:21,320 --> 01:05:24,840
Speaker 3: handicap factor can really start to dominate, and it has

1244
01:05:24,880 --> 01:05:25,600
Speaker 3: to do with weather.

1245
01:05:25,680 --> 01:05:27,320
Speaker 2: Share the folks your knowledge.

1246
01:05:27,680 --> 01:05:30,800
Speaker 10: Yeah, so I don't want any It's not just the playoffs,

1247
01:05:30,800 --> 01:05:33,600
Speaker 10: but just December on. I don't want any part of

1248
01:05:33,640 --> 01:05:37,840
Speaker 10: a southern coastal city that has a temper climate that

1249
01:05:37,960 --> 01:05:40,280
Speaker 10: goes to blow freezing. How many times you have to

1250
01:05:40,280 --> 01:05:42,840
Speaker 10: watch this movie, you can break down the x's and

1251
01:05:42,840 --> 01:05:46,360
Speaker 10: the other's all you want. I've remain convinced that Miami,

1252
01:05:47,640 --> 01:05:50,600
Speaker 10: the one factor that mattered was team from South Beach

1253
01:05:50,640 --> 01:05:53,360
Speaker 10: goes to play in zero degrees in Kansas City. They lose,

1254
01:05:54,360 --> 01:05:56,440
Speaker 10: So Houston. I know it's been cold in Houston all week.

1255
01:05:56,440 --> 01:05:59,000
Speaker 10: Guess what, It's usually not cold in Houston. They go

1256
01:05:59,080 --> 01:06:02,240
Speaker 10: to Baltimore twenty five degrees and a quarterback I understand

1257
01:06:02,280 --> 01:06:05,040
Speaker 10: he played in the Big Ten, he and the team

1258
01:06:05,040 --> 01:06:09,320
Speaker 10: completely ineffective. One point return touchdown. You can't tell me

1259
01:06:09,600 --> 01:06:11,640
Speaker 10: that would not have been a much more competitive game

1260
01:06:11,680 --> 01:06:13,240
Speaker 10: if that had not been in the dumb.

1261
01:06:13,680 --> 01:06:16,760
Speaker 3: Couldn't agree more. And I never buy that argument. Yeah,

1262
01:06:16,760 --> 01:06:18,680
Speaker 3: we played in the Big Ten, well, sure, two years ago.

1263
01:06:18,720 --> 01:06:20,720
Speaker 3: But he's been living in Houston now below that, you know,

1264
01:06:20,760 --> 01:06:23,360
Speaker 3: the equator for the last year. So, by the way,

1265
01:06:23,480 --> 01:06:26,800
Speaker 3: speaking of bad weather, I'm a rock pretty guy. I

1266
01:06:26,880 --> 01:06:30,400
Speaker 3: like him a lot, but I believe it might be

1267
01:06:30,480 --> 01:06:34,480
Speaker 3: your observation that in bad weather he's he's not the

1268
01:06:34,520 --> 01:06:35,040
Speaker 3: same guy.

1269
01:06:35,760 --> 01:06:38,400
Speaker 10: Yeah, and he played in the in the Midwest also,

1270
01:06:38,440 --> 01:06:40,560
Speaker 10: so certainly he's played in bad weather. But a small

1271
01:06:40,600 --> 01:06:43,280
Speaker 10: sample bad game in Cleveland when they lost to Cleveland

1272
01:06:43,640 --> 01:06:46,360
Speaker 10: and it was raining, and it's always raining in Cleveland,

1273
01:06:46,680 --> 01:06:50,800
Speaker 10: and it was raining pretty hard in San Francisco, and

1274
01:06:50,840 --> 01:06:55,160
Speaker 10: he threw he threw some terrible, terrible passes up passes

1275
01:06:55,200 --> 01:06:58,280
Speaker 10: that should have been intercepted that weren't. So do we

1276
01:06:58,360 --> 01:07:01,880
Speaker 10: just say all the nerves he's just overrated. No, I

1277
01:07:01,880 --> 01:07:04,480
Speaker 10: think that that one factor really messed with them. Obviously,

1278
01:07:04,760 --> 01:07:07,600
Speaker 10: losing Deebo Samuel is very critical to the offense and

1279
01:07:07,680 --> 01:07:09,600
Speaker 10: the defense didn't play well. I heard that they had

1280
01:07:09,640 --> 01:07:12,200
Speaker 10: the wrong cleats for San Francisco. Bad game got a

1281
01:07:12,280 --> 01:07:15,840
Speaker 10: downgrade the Niners, But I do think that they'll be

1282
01:07:15,920 --> 01:07:19,400
Speaker 10: just fine regardless of who they get next week. In

1283
01:07:19,440 --> 01:07:21,640
Speaker 10: fact that I think it sets up very nicely for

1284
01:07:21,680 --> 01:07:24,440
Speaker 10: the Niners to blast the winner of the Tampa Bay

1285
01:07:24,440 --> 01:07:25,040
Speaker 10: Detroit game.

1286
01:07:25,600 --> 01:07:26,760
Speaker 2: I think that's fair.

1287
01:07:27,600 --> 01:07:29,920
Speaker 3: But looking ahead, which we like to do now and

1288
01:07:29,960 --> 01:07:32,600
Speaker 3: then should they find themselves on the field with Baltimore again,

1289
01:07:33,160 --> 01:07:36,520
Speaker 3: I saw a Niners defense tonight that wasn't nearly as

1290
01:07:36,560 --> 01:07:40,280
Speaker 3: assignmon sounds as seen in the past. And I understand

1291
01:07:40,320 --> 01:07:42,120
Speaker 3: the cleats and they were sliding around and things of

1292
01:07:42,120 --> 01:07:44,600
Speaker 3: that nature, but I saw a lot of chunk plays tonight.

1293
01:07:44,640 --> 01:07:46,680
Speaker 3: That's got to be a problem if they have to

1294
01:07:46,680 --> 01:07:48,280
Speaker 3: come up against Lamar Jackson again.

1295
01:07:48,880 --> 01:07:51,560
Speaker 10: Yeah, but I don't trust Lamar Jackson in the playoffs

1296
01:07:51,600 --> 01:07:53,440
Speaker 10: like I do in the regular season. And if you

1297
01:07:53,480 --> 01:07:56,280
Speaker 10: struggle in the playoffs, then I trust him less than

1298
01:07:56,320 --> 01:07:58,400
Speaker 10: the biggest game in the Super Bowl, And I trust

1299
01:07:58,440 --> 01:08:00,760
Speaker 10: him less when the teams have our he played once,

1300
01:08:00,880 --> 01:08:03,360
Speaker 10: because when teams get to see him, he's not as

1301
01:08:03,400 --> 01:08:06,080
Speaker 10: good when he plays the second time, especially in the playoffs,

1302
01:08:06,280 --> 01:08:08,120
Speaker 10: and the game would be in Vegas, which would be

1303
01:08:08,120 --> 01:08:11,560
Speaker 10: a de facto home field advantage for the Niners because

1304
01:08:11,600 --> 01:08:14,600
Speaker 10: it'll be seventy percent crowd for the Niners. So there's

1305
01:08:14,640 --> 01:08:17,240
Speaker 10: a lot of advantages. The Niners will certainly still be

1306
01:08:17,280 --> 01:08:18,080
Speaker 10: favored in the game.

1307
01:08:18,560 --> 01:08:20,960
Speaker 3: Fast, let's look ahead to Sunday. I'm going to start

1308
01:08:21,000 --> 01:08:25,080
Speaker 3: with the late game for a couple of reasons. Interestingly,

1309
01:08:25,680 --> 01:08:28,880
Speaker 3: of the eight teams that are in the tournament at

1310
01:08:28,880 --> 01:08:31,840
Speaker 3: this point, of course, two were eliminated tonight, four of

1311
01:08:31,880 --> 01:08:36,160
Speaker 3: them rank in the top ten both offensively and defensively.

1312
01:08:36,920 --> 01:08:39,759
Speaker 3: Both the Bills and the Chiefs are two of those teams.

1313
01:08:40,720 --> 01:08:42,640
Speaker 3: I think it's reflected in the line, which is two

1314
01:08:42,680 --> 01:08:44,479
Speaker 3: and a half. And as always, you've got some good

1315
01:08:44,520 --> 01:08:47,439
Speaker 3: thoughts about the importance of two and a half versus three.

1316
01:08:48,080 --> 01:08:50,639
Speaker 10: Yeah, a whole lot going on here. So power rating wise,

1317
01:08:50,760 --> 01:08:53,320
Speaker 10: I do the Bills, even with the defensive injuries, their

1318
01:08:53,320 --> 01:08:55,320
Speaker 10: defense is this is good with the injuries a half

1319
01:08:55,360 --> 01:08:57,439
Speaker 10: point better give them one and a half for home

1320
01:08:57,439 --> 01:08:59,960
Speaker 10: field Bills Mass two and the lines two and a half.

1321
01:09:00,080 --> 01:09:02,719
Speaker 10: So that's an easy pass, right, Well, it's not really

1322
01:09:02,720 --> 01:09:05,400
Speaker 10: an easy pass, and the reason being is that the

1323
01:09:05,439 --> 01:09:08,360
Speaker 10: difference you nailed at Bernie. We're that close to plus three,

1324
01:09:08,360 --> 01:09:10,760
Speaker 10: and there's been threes popping up here and there. I

1325
01:09:10,880 --> 01:09:13,360
Speaker 10: bet a lot of plus threes. So how can I

1326
01:09:13,360 --> 01:09:15,160
Speaker 10: tell you don't bet plus two and a half, but

1327
01:09:15,280 --> 01:09:17,280
Speaker 10: make one of your biggest bets of the year plus three,

1328
01:09:17,680 --> 01:09:19,840
Speaker 10: Because the difference between two and a half and three,

1329
01:09:19,880 --> 01:09:22,960
Speaker 10: without warning, here comes math. All right, it's like a

1330
01:09:23,040 --> 01:09:25,880
Speaker 10: twenty cent difference. So if I go ahead and play

1331
01:09:26,680 --> 01:09:29,880
Speaker 10: plus three lay a dollar ten, that is so much

1332
01:09:29,880 --> 01:09:31,880
Speaker 10: better than playing plus two and a half. You can

1333
01:09:31,880 --> 01:09:33,880
Speaker 10: give me plus two and a half plus a dollar ten.

1334
01:09:34,160 --> 01:09:37,400
Speaker 10: I'd still be in different between that and plus three

1335
01:09:37,760 --> 01:09:40,720
Speaker 10: lay a dollar ten. So that's complicated. Let me make

1336
01:09:40,760 --> 01:09:44,240
Speaker 10: it simpler. How much better is getting that three? Imagine

1337
01:09:44,280 --> 01:09:46,160
Speaker 10: betting a baseball game and you're about to bet Miles

1338
01:09:46,200 --> 01:09:48,479
Speaker 10: one twenty and then you can bet it at plus

1339
01:09:48,520 --> 01:09:52,000
Speaker 10: one hundred twenty cents better, obviously much better bet to

1340
01:09:52,040 --> 01:09:54,360
Speaker 10: bet the Blue Jays or whoever you're investing in. And

1341
01:09:54,400 --> 01:09:56,479
Speaker 10: that literally is a difference. When a sportsbook like the

1342
01:09:56,479 --> 01:09:58,439
Speaker 10: South Point takes from a two and a half to three,

1343
01:09:58,479 --> 01:10:00,680
Speaker 10: which they've done several times this week, and there's a

1344
01:10:00,720 --> 01:10:03,040
Speaker 10: little more money on Buffalo right now at MIS two

1345
01:10:03,040 --> 01:10:05,360
Speaker 10: and a half, I think you'll see a three. Be patient,

1346
01:10:05,400 --> 01:10:08,400
Speaker 10: wait for it won't last, and then invest in Kansas City.

1347
01:10:08,640 --> 01:10:12,120
Speaker 10: Now that's the math. Now here's the pandicapping side. The

1348
01:10:12,160 --> 01:10:15,080
Speaker 10: spot's great for Kansas City. I don't understand why no

1349
01:10:15,120 --> 01:10:17,360
Speaker 10: one else is talking about this. Kansas City had a

1350
01:10:17,360 --> 01:10:20,280
Speaker 10: bye week eighteen. They didn't care against the Chargers, rested

1351
01:10:20,920 --> 01:10:24,160
Speaker 10: their clunky tight end, probably went out with Taylor the

1352
01:10:24,200 --> 01:10:28,599
Speaker 10: night before they Mahomes didn't play. I don't know that, Bernie,

1353
01:10:29,000 --> 01:10:31,240
Speaker 10: but you know what I'm saying. They so they had

1354
01:10:31,280 --> 01:10:35,960
Speaker 10: basically had a half buy and then the next week

1355
01:10:35,960 --> 01:10:39,160
Speaker 10: they get a laugher in the in Siberia against Miami.

1356
01:10:39,479 --> 01:10:41,760
Speaker 10: So they've had it easy now for two weeks in

1357
01:10:41,760 --> 01:10:43,920
Speaker 10: a row, whereas Buffalo has had to win each game

1358
01:10:44,040 --> 01:10:46,400
Speaker 10: like blood, including the last game of the regular season

1359
01:10:47,240 --> 01:10:50,400
Speaker 10: against Miami to win the division and then you know,

1360
01:10:50,560 --> 01:10:53,479
Speaker 10: a more difficult playoff game. And Kansas City has had

1361
01:10:53,520 --> 01:10:56,559
Speaker 10: eight days off and Buffalo six days off. And Buffalo

1362
01:10:56,640 --> 01:10:59,360
Speaker 10: just had a god awful snowstorm which wrecked the city

1363
01:10:59,400 --> 01:11:01,680
Speaker 10: for three days. And we saw how that kind of

1364
01:11:01,680 --> 01:11:05,400
Speaker 10: disrupted their season last year when they had similar snowshockera

1365
01:11:05,400 --> 01:11:08,839
Speaker 10: like effects snow in Buffalo. All these factors like stack

1366
01:11:08,960 --> 01:11:11,640
Speaker 10: one after another and you're saying, well, has nothing to

1367
01:11:11,640 --> 01:11:15,240
Speaker 10: do with football. It has everything to do with performance. Imagine,

1368
01:11:16,000 --> 01:11:17,840
Speaker 10: as busy as we have with our lives, if you

1369
01:11:17,880 --> 01:11:19,679
Speaker 10: had to go through each and every one of these,

1370
01:11:19,960 --> 01:11:21,720
Speaker 10: how difficult it would be. And I know, like, oh

1371
01:11:21,760 --> 01:11:24,240
Speaker 10: this is you know, this is a huge playoff game.

1372
01:11:24,240 --> 01:11:25,080
Speaker 10: They're going to be skyhigh.

1373
01:11:25,120 --> 01:11:25,320
Speaker 8: You know what.

1374
01:11:25,320 --> 01:11:27,360
Speaker 10: There's a certain amount of energy you can exert over

1375
01:11:27,360 --> 01:11:29,680
Speaker 10: the course of the season before you get all banged up.

1376
01:11:29,920 --> 01:11:33,120
Speaker 10: And I truly feel because of that, it's a perfect

1377
01:11:33,120 --> 01:11:36,080
Speaker 10: storm that Kansas City is the right side slightly at

1378
01:11:36,080 --> 01:11:38,040
Speaker 10: two and a half, and it's a great betplus three.

1379
01:11:38,800 --> 01:11:40,920
Speaker 3: It is probably a great bet plus three. But one

1380
01:11:41,040 --> 01:11:45,320
Speaker 3: thing that gives me pause. This chiefty offense is a

1381
01:11:45,320 --> 01:11:47,920
Speaker 3: shadow of what it's been in the past, and that says,

1382
01:11:47,960 --> 01:11:50,240
Speaker 3: I don't think I don't know where you have Buffalo's

1383
01:11:50,320 --> 01:11:53,160
Speaker 3: defense power rated. I don't feel they get enough credit.

1384
01:11:53,200 --> 01:11:56,680
Speaker 3: They actually forced thirty turnovers this season, to give that

1385
01:11:56,840 --> 01:12:00,439
Speaker 3: some perspective, that's one less than the Baltimore Ravens. Did,

1386
01:12:00,479 --> 01:12:03,599
Speaker 3: and everybody raves about their defense. Meanwhile, when it comes

1387
01:12:03,640 --> 01:12:07,439
Speaker 3: to turnovers, the Chiefs only ranked twenty seventh. Hate to

1388
01:12:07,520 --> 01:12:10,920
Speaker 3: be cliche, game could come down to a turnover. Where

1389
01:12:10,920 --> 01:12:14,519
Speaker 3: do you have Buffalo's defense power rated or don't mean

1390
01:12:14,520 --> 01:12:16,519
Speaker 3: to you know, throw that in from left field. But

1391
01:12:16,880 --> 01:12:18,520
Speaker 3: I feel they'll get enough credit.

1392
01:12:18,640 --> 01:12:21,000
Speaker 10: Boy, you know, And it's a shortcoming I have where

1393
01:12:21,040 --> 01:12:23,040
Speaker 10: I know approximately how good they are, but I just

1394
01:12:23,080 --> 01:12:25,080
Speaker 10: have one power rating. But I can tell you you're right.

1395
01:12:25,120 --> 01:12:27,840
Speaker 10: The Bill's defense was better than Kansas City earlier in

1396
01:12:27,840 --> 01:12:30,679
Speaker 10: the year and year to date. Maybe the stats matchup,

1397
01:12:30,680 --> 01:12:34,040
Speaker 10: but there is no way, there's no way right now

1398
01:12:34,200 --> 01:12:38,000
Speaker 10: with this beleaguered injured without you know, Stevenson, the cornerback

1399
01:12:38,040 --> 01:12:41,000
Speaker 10: and and one of the best linebackers injured, there's no

1400
01:12:41,080 --> 01:12:43,600
Speaker 10: way that this Buffalo team, injured as they are, is

1401
01:12:44,439 --> 01:12:46,800
Speaker 10: in the same category as Kansas City. Can't say is

1402
01:12:46,800 --> 01:12:49,960
Speaker 10: a clear cut you know, top seven defense and Buffalo isn't.

1403
01:12:50,560 --> 01:12:53,679
Speaker 10: There's nowhere as injured as they are, they're not close

1404
01:12:53,720 --> 01:12:56,680
Speaker 10: to the top ten. David Chow Doctor David Choud does

1405
01:12:56,720 --> 01:13:02,600
Speaker 10: like an sec sports information consultants rating injuries. Yeah, so

1406
01:13:02,720 --> 01:13:04,760
Speaker 10: Kansas City is like one of the healthiest teams left

1407
01:13:04,760 --> 01:13:06,599
Speaker 10: in the playoffs and Buffalo is one of the most injured.

1408
01:13:06,880 --> 01:13:08,600
Speaker 10: And you can poop poo that it went four in

1409
01:13:08,680 --> 01:13:10,840
Speaker 10: all last week if you just bet the least injured

1410
01:13:10,840 --> 01:13:12,960
Speaker 10: against the more injured team. And like I said, in

1411
01:13:12,960 --> 01:13:15,400
Speaker 10: Buffaloes just had to win six games like blood they need.

1412
01:13:16,160 --> 01:13:18,360
Speaker 10: This is their seventh playoff game in a row. Good luck.

1413
01:13:18,520 --> 01:13:21,439
Speaker 10: I've seen this movie before. At Kansas City. Yeah, all

1414
01:13:21,439 --> 01:13:24,280
Speaker 10: the receivers suck, I get it, except for Kelsey And

1415
01:13:24,360 --> 01:13:27,599
Speaker 10: maybe I heard you mention about Rice. He sees terrible.

1416
01:13:28,360 --> 01:13:30,680
Speaker 10: But you know what, you got got a quarterback, and

1417
01:13:30,880 --> 01:13:33,960
Speaker 10: got a quarterback makes up for a whole bunch deficiencies.

1418
01:13:33,960 --> 01:13:36,559
Speaker 10: Not to mention the first time they played, they beat him.

1419
01:13:36,920 --> 01:13:40,280
Speaker 10: The guy's toe was over the line and Kansas City

1420
01:13:40,280 --> 01:13:43,719
Speaker 10: came down. They've lost so many games where the receiver

1421
01:13:43,840 --> 01:13:46,639
Speaker 10: dropped the post pattern wide open the end zone. Those

1422
01:13:46,640 --> 01:13:48,840
Speaker 10: are two wins, and instead of poop pulling them at eleven,

1423
01:13:48,880 --> 01:13:51,439
Speaker 10: you'd say Kansasity's thirteen and four, that the much better team,

1424
01:13:51,479 --> 01:13:53,759
Speaker 10: Buffalo is injured, Kansas City's got god a quarterback.

1425
01:13:53,760 --> 01:13:54,639
Speaker 8: They're going to kill them.

1426
01:13:54,680 --> 01:13:57,240
Speaker 10: But because of those two games, now we're having concerns

1427
01:13:57,240 --> 01:13:59,240
Speaker 10: about Kansas City. I know they never played on the

1428
01:13:59,280 --> 01:14:00,840
Speaker 10: road in the playoffs. All all they do is win on

1429
01:14:00,880 --> 01:14:04,440
Speaker 10: the playoffs, close games, and they'll probably win tomorrow by one.

1430
01:14:04,680 --> 01:14:06,599
Speaker 3: Fez, we just got a minute. We're on a different

1431
01:14:06,640 --> 01:14:09,120
Speaker 3: time clock in this new slot with you. Just give

1432
01:14:09,160 --> 01:14:11,240
Speaker 3: me a quick breakdown on Buccaneer's Lions.

1433
01:14:11,680 --> 01:14:13,320
Speaker 10: I'm going to give you ten seconds. I'm throwing the

1434
01:14:13,439 --> 01:14:16,880
Speaker 10: entire media, everybody under the bus. I can't stand this.

1435
01:14:17,560 --> 01:14:20,479
Speaker 10: The line is right, Bernie Detroit playing six, I make

1436
01:14:20,520 --> 01:14:23,400
Speaker 10: it six. Don't invest in this game. Don't listen to

1437
01:14:23,439 --> 01:14:25,960
Speaker 10: all these frauds. They don't bet for a living. They're

1438
01:14:26,000 --> 01:14:29,200
Speaker 10: out there just I like this team and that team

1439
01:14:29,200 --> 01:14:30,840
Speaker 10: in the over and the under, and they're like eighteen

1440
01:14:30,880 --> 01:14:33,080
Speaker 10: different pets, and you know what, none of them win.

1441
01:14:33,720 --> 01:14:36,320
Speaker 10: That's why they are consultant, and that's why they're analysts

1442
01:14:36,320 --> 01:14:37,400
Speaker 10: and not sports betters.

1443
01:14:37,760 --> 01:14:38,120
Speaker 4: That's it.

1444
01:14:38,479 --> 01:14:42,439
Speaker 3: So you just stand away from the game completely complete pass. Yeah.

1445
01:14:42,479 --> 01:14:44,280
Speaker 3: I'm not involved either, but I got to tell you,

1446
01:14:44,320 --> 01:14:46,760
Speaker 3: I have a funny feeling that Tampa Bay is going

1447
01:14:46,760 --> 01:14:48,160
Speaker 3: to give them everything they can handle. I know it's

1448
01:14:48,160 --> 01:14:50,880
Speaker 3: against a lot of practice psychology, without a license. But

1449
01:14:50,960 --> 01:14:54,080
Speaker 3: I like your analysis on Buffalo Kansas City. All the

1450
01:14:54,080 --> 01:14:56,840
Speaker 3: pressure in the world is on Buffalo and they're facing

1451
01:14:56,880 --> 01:14:59,439
Speaker 3: a quarterback this other worldly. I think all the pressure

1452
01:14:59,439 --> 01:15:01,840
Speaker 3: in the world is the Lions, and we're just not sure.

1453
01:15:02,320 --> 01:15:05,360
Speaker 3: They're an uncharted territory and you got Baker Mayfield and

1454
01:15:05,360 --> 01:15:10,160
Speaker 3: the Bucks coming in. Lucy Goosey Fez as always, great stuff.

1455
01:15:10,200 --> 01:15:11,880
Speaker 3: Do you have a best bet for Sunday at all

1456
01:15:12,000 --> 01:15:12,160
Speaker 3: or no?

1457
01:15:12,760 --> 01:15:15,080
Speaker 10: Yeah, we wait for plus three on Kansas City, and

1458
01:15:15,160 --> 01:15:16,880
Speaker 10: if we don't get the plus three, we just make

1459
01:15:16,920 --> 01:15:18,600
Speaker 10: a very modest bet plus two and a half right

1460
01:15:18,640 --> 01:15:20,280
Speaker 10: before they kickoff. But we're not going to bet it

1461
01:15:20,640 --> 01:15:22,519
Speaker 10: until then because I think at three pops and then

1462
01:15:22,560 --> 01:15:23,720
Speaker 10: we make a huge bet on them.

1463
01:15:24,360 --> 01:15:26,479
Speaker 3: All right, great stuff, Get some rest of my friend,

1464
01:15:26,479 --> 01:15:30,160
Speaker 3: have a good Sunday.

1465
01:15:29,640 --> 01:15:31,519
Speaker 10: A reason to bet plus two and a half until

1466
01:15:31,600 --> 01:15:32,559
Speaker 10: right before kickoff?

1467
01:15:32,760 --> 01:15:33,320
Speaker 8: Be patient.

1468
01:15:33,720 --> 01:15:34,720
Speaker 2: Yes, sounds good.

1469
01:15:34,720 --> 01:15:38,280
Speaker 3: He's talking about Kansas City Buffalo and that's the second

1470
01:15:38,280 --> 01:15:43,160
Speaker 3: game on Sunday. It's very interesting divisional round playoff card.

1471
01:15:43,200 --> 01:15:45,760
Speaker 3: I'll give you some fast facts coming up on some

1472
01:15:45,840 --> 01:15:49,200
Speaker 3: things you might not have known. I'm Bernie Fratto. We're

1476
01:15:58,920 --> 01:16:01,559
Speaker 3: You're back on the Bernie Frattle Our Show, Fox Sports Radio,

1477
01:16:01,600 --> 01:16:04,120
Speaker 3: coming to live from the tyrac dot com studios here

1478
01:16:04,760 --> 01:16:07,719
Speaker 3: in Las Vegas. Take you up to three am Pacific,

1479
01:16:07,800 --> 01:16:11,840
Speaker 3: six a m. Eastern, just about eleven hours away now

1480
01:16:11,880 --> 01:16:14,000
Speaker 3: from the Lions Bucks kicking it off, and I'll have

1481
01:16:14,040 --> 01:16:16,040
Speaker 3: a final analysis on that later in the show.

1482
01:16:16,880 --> 01:16:18,360
Speaker 2: Not gonna lie, Not gonna lie.

1483
01:16:18,400 --> 01:16:23,320
Speaker 3: I'm just a little jiggy about this Tampa Bay team

1484
01:16:23,360 --> 01:16:25,800
Speaker 3: and what they might be a cockroach. And they played

1485
01:16:25,840 --> 01:16:28,120
Speaker 3: at Spaghetti for the Lions on Sunday and fall in

1486
01:16:28,160 --> 01:16:31,080
Speaker 3: and mess everything up throughout what they call a revenge

1487
01:16:31,080 --> 01:16:33,880
Speaker 3: tour this year down in Tampa Bay. And it's kind

1488
01:16:33,880 --> 01:16:37,200
Speaker 3: of a closed door situations. And I think if you

1489
01:16:37,320 --> 01:16:39,599
Speaker 3: listen to the Tampa Bay media, they've watched his team

1490
01:16:39,640 --> 01:16:42,559
Speaker 3: all year and watch him evolve. They know the Lions

1491
01:16:42,600 --> 01:16:44,920
Speaker 3: have some players on defense, but the Rams threw for

1492
01:16:45,000 --> 01:16:48,080
Speaker 3: over three hundred yards and came away with six explosive

1493
01:16:48,080 --> 01:16:52,040
Speaker 3: plays down the field last week, and that believed me.

1494
01:16:52,479 --> 01:16:55,080
Speaker 3: You should be concerned when Mike Evans and Chris Godwin

1495
01:16:55,160 --> 01:16:57,800
Speaker 3: show up and Baker Mayfield if he can play the

1496
01:16:57,840 --> 01:17:00,599
Speaker 3: way he's played in big games in the past. This

1497
01:17:00,640 --> 01:17:04,919
Speaker 3: is going to be a very fun game to watch. Frankly,

1498
01:17:05,360 --> 01:17:08,960
Speaker 3: but it's already been kind of an interesting weekend Divisional

1499
01:17:09,080 --> 01:17:11,760
Speaker 3: Round playoff card because heading into the card that you

1500
01:17:11,800 --> 01:17:16,720
Speaker 3: know the forty nine Ers have reached the conference championship

1501
01:17:16,800 --> 01:17:20,400
Speaker 3: game each of the last six times they've made the playoffs.

1502
01:17:21,120 --> 01:17:24,880
Speaker 3: Now Baltimore, they're the fourth team since nineteen seventy with

1503
01:17:25,040 --> 01:17:28,760
Speaker 3: the first team All Pro quarterback Lamar Jackson and a

1504
01:17:28,880 --> 01:17:32,839
Speaker 3: number one scoring defense, first team in fifty four years.

1505
01:17:33,840 --> 01:17:39,240
Speaker 3: All other three teams that have done that that want

1506
01:17:39,240 --> 01:17:43,479
Speaker 3: to check that, all of the three teams that had

1507
01:17:43,479 --> 01:17:47,960
Speaker 3: that Accolade All Pro quarterback on a number one scoring defense,

1508
01:17:48,720 --> 01:17:51,200
Speaker 3: the nineteen seventy two Dolphins, they were undefeated, won the

1509
01:17:51,200 --> 01:17:54,400
Speaker 3: Super Bowl, the nineteen seventy eight Steelers with Terry Bradshaw

1510
01:17:54,400 --> 01:17:57,040
Speaker 3: on company they won the Super Bowl, And the nineteen

1511
01:17:57,120 --> 01:17:59,240
Speaker 3: ninety six Green Bay Packers who beat New England.

1512
01:17:59,439 --> 01:18:01,000
Speaker 2: By the way, do you hear?

1513
01:18:01,240 --> 01:18:04,800
Speaker 3: Obviously, after the Super Bowl is over, you will the

1514
01:18:04,840 --> 01:18:08,800
Speaker 3: next topic of conversation will be the draft, and there's

1515
01:18:08,800 --> 01:18:11,640
Speaker 3: a lot of quarterbacks in this year's draft. How important

1516
01:18:11,680 --> 01:18:14,160
Speaker 3: is that to get that right? Well, believe it or not.

1517
01:18:14,280 --> 01:18:17,400
Speaker 3: In this playoffs, there are a record seven first round

1518
01:18:17,479 --> 01:18:20,400
Speaker 3: quarterbacks that were starting this weekend.

1519
01:18:20,880 --> 01:18:21,200
Speaker 2: CJ.

1520
01:18:21,360 --> 01:18:28,000
Speaker 3: Stroud, Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen, Jared Goff, Baker Mayfield,

1521
01:18:28,160 --> 01:18:32,040
Speaker 3: and Jordan Love. You forgot Jordan Love was the first

1522
01:18:32,120 --> 01:18:37,679
Speaker 3: down first round quarterback. Well he was again. This Lions

1523
01:18:37,720 --> 01:18:41,640
Speaker 3: Buccaneers game really has me intrigued. I can't figure out

1524
01:18:41,680 --> 01:18:44,000
Speaker 3: if it's going to be low scoring or high scoring.

1525
01:18:44,520 --> 01:18:46,879
Speaker 3: And I know that Aiden Hutchinson is on a mission.

1526
01:18:47,920 --> 01:18:51,960
Speaker 3: Can Tampa Bay keep Aman Ross Saint Brown in check?

1527
01:18:52,680 --> 01:18:55,760
Speaker 3: Can Tampa Bay, who was six in sacks, get to

1528
01:18:55,840 --> 01:18:59,120
Speaker 3: Jared Goff? I honestly got to feel like it's a

1529
01:18:59,160 --> 01:19:02,759
Speaker 3: coin flip game. That's why I just can't get involved.

1530
01:19:02,760 --> 01:19:07,240
Speaker 3: Coming up, we're well into January. But what are some

1531
01:19:07,320 --> 01:19:09,400
Speaker 3: of the biggest stories we can look forward to in

1532
01:19:09,439 --> 01:19:12,280
Speaker 3: twenty twenty four in the sports calendar? I'm going to

1533
01:19:12,320 --> 01:19:15,800
Speaker 3: share those with you. Many are very thought provoking and

1534

Speaker 2: The way tire buying.

1544
01:19:47,920 --> 01:19:52,760
Speaker 3: Should be Well, the future always has a way of

1545
01:19:53,080 --> 01:19:56,960
Speaker 3: arriving ahead of schedule, and certainly especially in the sports world.

1546
01:19:57,960 --> 01:19:59,080
Speaker 2: And as we head into.

1547
01:19:58,920 --> 01:20:03,120
Speaker 3: DO twenty twenty, there are lots of issues across the

1548
01:20:03,160 --> 01:20:07,080
Speaker 3: sports landscape right and we're on the heels of a

1549
01:20:07,560 --> 01:20:10,960
Speaker 3: very interesting, I think college football bowl season. The semi

1550
01:20:10,960 --> 01:20:14,120
Speaker 3: final Rose Bowl decided in overtime, and then a very

1551
01:20:14,120 --> 01:20:17,559
Speaker 3: emotional goodbye for quarterback bow Knicks and the Pop Tarts Bowl,

1552
01:20:17,640 --> 01:20:20,760
Speaker 3: and Michigan gets all over the hump and they beat

1553
01:20:20,920 --> 01:20:24,120
Speaker 3: Washington in the National championship game, and then Caitlin Debora

1554
01:20:24,200 --> 01:20:27,160
Speaker 3: leaves and I still say, Jim Harball, it's seventy five

1555
01:20:27,160 --> 01:20:30,559
Speaker 3: percent is back in the NFL, and we have a

1556
01:20:30,600 --> 01:20:35,599
Speaker 3: conclusion of the fourteen format. Now finally we'll have a

1557
01:20:35,640 --> 01:20:37,840
Speaker 3: real playoff, not what I call the made for TV

1558
01:20:38,040 --> 01:20:43,280
Speaker 3: Invitational tournament. Now, there are still some details to be

1559
01:20:44,040 --> 01:20:46,800
Speaker 3: ironed out because there's no more PAC twelve, but we

1560
01:20:46,840 --> 01:20:51,120
Speaker 3: do know this. It'll start on December twentieth on college campuses.

1561
01:20:51,160 --> 01:20:54,120
Speaker 3: It'll go full month, and the National Championship Game we'll

1562
01:20:54,120 --> 01:20:58,960
Speaker 3: play played on Martin Luther King Game Monday night, January twentieth,

1563
01:20:59,000 --> 01:21:02,479
Speaker 3: twenty twenty five, and there'll be double headers and triple

1564
01:21:02,520 --> 01:21:06,160
Speaker 3: headers and it'll go up against the NFL. And I've

1565
01:21:06,160 --> 01:21:10,760
Speaker 3: given the schedule before and it's amazing because I think

1566
01:21:10,800 --> 01:21:13,360
Speaker 3: we'll be glued. It'll just be off the charts in

1567
01:21:13,400 --> 01:21:16,400
Speaker 3: terms of the betting handle, in terms of the coverage

1568
01:21:16,439 --> 01:21:18,760
Speaker 3: and the fan interest in all those things. Again, there'll

1569
01:21:18,800 --> 01:21:21,240
Speaker 3: be games on college campuses and there'll be teams to

1570
01:21:21,280 --> 01:21:25,000
Speaker 3: get buys, and so I think that will be actually

1571
01:21:25,040 --> 01:21:27,519
Speaker 3: one of the biggest stories in twenty twenty four when

1572
01:21:27,520 --> 01:21:30,040
Speaker 3: we finally there's not going to be any more Florida

1573
01:21:30,080 --> 01:21:33,640
Speaker 3: State situation. Somebody goes undefeated, wins their conference, they're going

1574
01:21:33,680 --> 01:21:35,519
Speaker 3: to be in and by the way, I've said before,

1575
01:21:35,560 --> 01:21:37,960
Speaker 3: I thought the committee made the right decision. It was

1576
01:21:38,000 --> 01:21:40,960
Speaker 3: an uncomfortable decision, but they laid on their bylaws and

1577
01:21:41,560 --> 01:21:43,880
Speaker 3: we'll just go from there. But playoff expansion is going

1578
01:21:43,960 --> 01:21:46,559
Speaker 3: to bring millions in extra revenue to the college Football

1579
01:21:46,560 --> 01:21:48,799
Speaker 3: Playoff as well as individual schools.

1580
01:21:49,280 --> 01:21:49,559
Speaker 2: Right.

1581
01:21:50,320 --> 01:21:56,000
Speaker 3: But here's what's interesting. There are still some details undecided.

1582
01:21:56,800 --> 01:22:00,200
Speaker 3: Which broadcaster will air the first round of games, will

1583
01:22:00,240 --> 01:22:03,759
Speaker 3: BISBEE awarded, what's going to be the revenue distribution system,

1584
01:22:03,760 --> 01:22:06,240
Speaker 3: what's that going to look like? And finally, since the

1585
01:22:06,280 --> 01:22:09,840
Speaker 3: breakup of the PAC twelve, there's less clarity than there

1586
01:22:10,000 --> 01:22:13,120
Speaker 3: was before. But regardless, when we get to that again,

1587
01:22:13,560 --> 01:22:17,000
Speaker 3: this will be a story just the anticipation. We don't

1588
01:22:17,000 --> 01:22:19,800
Speaker 3: know what it's going to look like, and I think

1589
01:22:19,800 --> 01:22:23,200
Speaker 3: we're all coming along for the ride. Another story that's

1590
01:22:23,200 --> 01:22:27,000
Speaker 3: going to continue in twenty twenty four is something we

1591
01:22:27,080 --> 01:22:29,760
Speaker 3: call out of the category of college athlete employment. Now,

1592
01:22:29,760 --> 01:22:34,639
Speaker 3: the most intense matchup in all of college sports isn't

1593
01:22:34,640 --> 01:22:37,640
Speaker 3: taking place on the field. It's happening in court, and

1594
01:22:37,680 --> 01:22:41,880
Speaker 3: it's being fought over the legality of the NCAA's amateurism model.

1595
01:22:41,920 --> 01:22:45,720
Speaker 3: There are several lawsuits, including Johnson versus the NCAA Carter

1596
01:22:45,840 --> 01:22:50,840
Speaker 3: versus UNCAA. They argue that college athletes should be considered employees,

1597
01:22:51,680 --> 01:22:54,679
Speaker 3: and two labor law cases at the National Labor Relations Board,

1598
01:22:55,120 --> 01:22:59,280
Speaker 3: one concerning usc football and basketball players and another tie

1599
01:22:59,320 --> 01:23:03,680
Speaker 3: to Dartmuth and their men's basketball players. They're attempting to

1600
01:23:03,840 --> 01:23:09,519
Speaker 3: use the courts to force the same conclusion. So they're arguing,

1601
01:23:09,880 --> 01:23:13,320
Speaker 3: is is this amateurism? Now, this isn't going to be

1602
01:23:13,439 --> 01:23:17,599
Speaker 3: decided anytime soon. It's gonna go on for a year

1603
01:23:17,680 --> 01:23:19,599
Speaker 3: or two, I believe, but it will be a story.

1604
01:23:19,600 --> 01:23:21,519
Speaker 3: The media hasn't covered a lot, but I think you're

1605
01:23:21,560 --> 01:23:25,000
Speaker 3: gonna see it more so because you've got one side

1606
01:23:25,040 --> 01:23:27,600
Speaker 3: that are pro athlete employment and the other side that

1607
01:23:27,640 --> 01:23:30,760
Speaker 3: are anti employment. And they'll fight and appeal, and the

1608
01:23:30,800 --> 01:23:33,040
Speaker 3: lawyers will get rich and they'll go back and forth.

1609
01:23:33,600 --> 01:23:38,200
Speaker 3: But the theory is within about a year you'll get

1610
01:23:38,200 --> 01:23:40,879
Speaker 3: at least one ruling on athlete employment from the third

1611
01:23:41,040 --> 01:23:44,360
Speaker 3: from the Third Circuit of Appeals, the Court of Appeals

1612
01:23:44,360 --> 01:23:47,720
Speaker 3: on the National Labor Relations Board. And the truth of

1613
01:23:47,720 --> 01:23:50,880
Speaker 3: the matter is people don't know there's a real history,

1614
01:23:50,920 --> 01:23:51,639
Speaker 3: and I'll just tell.

1615
01:23:51,520 --> 01:23:52,120
Speaker 2: It real quickly.

1616
01:23:52,200 --> 01:23:54,760
Speaker 3: This begins in the fifties, there was a young man

1617
01:23:54,800 --> 01:23:58,600
Speaker 3: by the name of Ray Dennison. He was playing offensive

1618
01:23:58,640 --> 01:24:02,880
Speaker 3: line for the four Lewis A and M. College in Colorado,

1619
01:24:02,920 --> 01:24:04,960
Speaker 3: and they were playing Trinidad Junior College. He was in

1620
01:24:05,000 --> 01:24:09,000
Speaker 3: September of nineteen fifty five. Dennison was not only on

1621
01:24:09,040 --> 01:24:11,840
Speaker 3: the football team, but he was married and he had

1622
01:24:11,880 --> 01:24:15,599
Speaker 3: three children. And on the opening kickoff he was on

1623
01:24:15,640 --> 01:24:19,000
Speaker 3: the team, you know, kicking off and as fort Lewis.

1624
01:24:20,320 --> 01:24:21,400
Speaker 2: Well, let's put it this way.

1625
01:24:21,920 --> 01:24:27,120
Speaker 3: Dennison approached a ball carrier on the opening kickoff, and

1626
01:24:27,160 --> 01:24:30,280
Speaker 3: the ball carrier's knee slammed into Dennison's helmet. Now, this

1627
01:24:30,400 --> 01:24:33,479
Speaker 3: is again seventy years ago. Equipment was not as good.

1628
01:24:34,439 --> 01:24:39,040
Speaker 3: The impact fractured the top of Dennison's skull and shattered

1629
01:24:39,080 --> 01:24:42,360
Speaker 3: the base of his skull into his spine. They took

1630
01:24:42,439 --> 01:24:46,120
Speaker 3: him by ambulance to the hospital, but shortly thereafter he

1631
01:24:46,160 --> 01:24:50,280
Speaker 3: slipped into a coma. He never recovered. Now, Dennison's wife

1632
01:24:51,080 --> 01:24:54,080
Speaker 3: rushed to the hospital to be by his bedside, and

1633
01:24:54,120 --> 01:24:56,519
Speaker 3: he died the next day later or the next day,

1634
01:24:56,560 --> 01:24:58,759
Speaker 3: I think, I think within twenty four hours of the accident,

1635
01:25:01,960 --> 01:25:04,240
Speaker 3: He left behind his son, a four year old son,

1636
01:25:04,320 --> 01:25:06,160
Speaker 3: a three year old daughter, and I think an eighteen

1637
01:25:06,240 --> 01:25:09,679
Speaker 3: year old. So his widow, her name was Billy Billy Dennison.

1638
01:25:10,439 --> 01:25:15,360
Speaker 3: She filed a lawsuit against the NCAA and this began

1639
01:25:15,520 --> 01:25:21,240
Speaker 3: to define the NCAA's relationship with athletes. And what happened

1640
01:25:21,360 --> 01:25:25,560
Speaker 3: was the claim. She filed a claim for death benefits

1641
01:25:26,840 --> 01:25:30,679
Speaker 3: with the Colorado Industrial Commission under the Workmen's Compensation Act.

1642
01:25:31,400 --> 01:25:34,600
Speaker 3: And what's interesting is the Commission approved the claim, but

1643
01:25:34,760 --> 01:25:41,439
Speaker 3: on appeal a district court overturned it. So what happened

1644
01:25:41,520 --> 01:25:45,160
Speaker 3: was Fort Lewis and the state Compensation Fund. They fought

1645
01:25:45,160 --> 01:25:48,280
Speaker 3: the case all the way to the Colorado Supreme Court,

1646
01:25:48,360 --> 01:25:51,360
Speaker 3: and finally two years later, in nineteen fifty seven, the

1647
01:25:51,400 --> 01:25:55,680
Speaker 3: court ruled that, unfortunately, Dennison's wife was not entitled to

1648
01:25:55,680 --> 01:26:01,080
Speaker 3: death benefits. The justice reasoning was that mister Dennison was

1649
01:26:01,120 --> 01:26:05,639
Speaker 3: not an employee. He was, in fact, quote a student athlete,

1650
01:26:05,840 --> 01:26:09,519
Speaker 3: and therein lies the term student athlete. It became a

1651
01:26:09,520 --> 01:26:14,559
Speaker 3: foundational case. Seven years later, we're still arguing it. Yes,

1652
01:26:15,200 --> 01:26:17,320
Speaker 3: keep your eye on the news, you're going to see

1653
01:26:17,479 --> 01:26:21,160
Speaker 3: more of that. Meanwhile, what's the future The real future

1654
01:26:21,200 --> 01:26:24,800
Speaker 3: of professional golf still got a ton of questions that

1655
01:26:24,880 --> 01:26:29,920
Speaker 3: are left unanswered. The PGA season begins very soon in

1656
01:26:30,000 --> 01:26:35,360
Speaker 3: Maui Live Golf back by the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund.

1657
01:26:35,400 --> 01:26:37,400
Speaker 3: Will they tee off next month here in Las Vegas

1658
01:26:37,400 --> 01:26:41,240
Speaker 3: on Super Bowl weekend? Now they're trying to have a

1659
01:26:41,280 --> 01:26:45,799
Speaker 3: merger because the PGA needs the money and Live Golf

1660
01:26:45,960 --> 01:26:49,799
Speaker 3: wants more notoriety and a bigger seat at the table.

1661
01:26:50,520 --> 01:26:53,280
Speaker 3: So they're still technically separate. Is this going to be

1662
01:26:53,320 --> 01:26:56,200
Speaker 3: the last season when these two entities are separate? Will

1663
01:26:56,240 --> 01:26:59,280
Speaker 3: there be any more you know, winners at big time

1664
01:26:59,400 --> 01:27:02,559
Speaker 3: players You've already seen who's done it gotten from Brooks, Koepka,

1665
01:27:02,600 --> 01:27:06,000
Speaker 3: Phil Mickelson on down make the jump to Live. When

1666
01:27:06,000 --> 01:27:08,160
Speaker 3: the Masters rolls around in April, all eys will be

1667
01:27:08,160 --> 01:27:12,439
Speaker 3: on defending champion John Rahm, who accepted what has been

1668
01:27:12,479 --> 01:27:14,880
Speaker 3: reported as a five hundred million dollar offer to.

1669
01:27:14,920 --> 01:27:16,559
Speaker 2: Join the LIV Live Tour.

1670
01:27:17,200 --> 01:27:20,960
Speaker 3: How does this move end up shaping the future of golf?

1671
01:27:21,080 --> 01:27:24,920
Speaker 3: What does this look like the players? There's so much

1672
01:27:24,960 --> 01:27:30,800
Speaker 3: money now even Rory McElroy has softened his position. The

1673
01:27:30,840 --> 01:27:34,400
Speaker 3: Paris Olympics is just months away and there's a lot

1674
01:27:34,439 --> 01:27:38,920
Speaker 3: of pressure and Paris organizers are facing all kinds of

1675
01:27:38,920 --> 01:27:42,280
Speaker 3: issues in turmoil and bad press. There's been local riding there,

1676
01:27:42,640 --> 01:27:46,960
Speaker 3: there's been corruption allegations, there have been budget concerns. There's

1677
01:27:47,000 --> 01:27:49,280
Speaker 3: a lot of heat on Paris to not only stage

1678
01:27:49,920 --> 01:27:52,840
Speaker 3: on successful Olympics and put a good face on a

1679
01:27:52,920 --> 01:27:56,680
Speaker 3: nice event, but in some respects try to restore the

1680
01:27:56,720 --> 01:27:59,639
Speaker 3: dignity of the Olympics, which has been called into question.

1681
01:28:00,120 --> 01:28:02,200
Speaker 3: Last decade or so. It has been a kind of

1682
01:28:02,200 --> 01:28:04,960
Speaker 3: a brutal stretch for the IOC. You had the twenty

1683
01:28:05,040 --> 01:28:08,040
Speaker 3: twenty Tokyo Olympics and the twenty twenty two Beijing Games,

1684
01:28:08,479 --> 01:28:12,120
Speaker 3: you had the pandemic, you had record low ratings, and

1685
01:28:12,200 --> 01:28:15,360
Speaker 3: now you fast forward to twenty thirty two the Games

1686
01:28:15,439 --> 01:28:18,680
Speaker 3: in Brisbane, Australia. My god, they're eight years away. They're

1687
01:28:18,720 --> 01:28:23,759
Speaker 3: already facing budget problems. So here's the situation. The Olympic Games,

1688
01:28:23,800 --> 01:28:27,200
Speaker 3: something we used to just enjoy immensely once every four years.

1689
01:28:28,080 --> 01:28:31,559
Speaker 3: Winter Olympics, Summer Olympics. Some of the greatest sports memories

1690
01:28:31,560 --> 01:28:34,559
Speaker 3: mate in the Olympics. Are they starting to collapse into

1691
01:28:34,600 --> 01:28:38,560
Speaker 3: their own weight? Are they too complex anymore? Instead of

1692
01:28:38,600 --> 01:28:40,599
Speaker 3: being too big to fail? Are they now just too

1693
01:28:40,600 --> 01:28:44,440
Speaker 3: big to succeed? I gotta tell you those Paris organizers,

1694
01:28:45,200 --> 01:28:49,080
Speaker 3: they're gonna have to sell some optimism and they're gonna

1695
01:28:49,120 --> 01:28:52,439
Speaker 3: have to have a successful event this year because I

1696
01:28:52,479 --> 01:28:55,200
Speaker 3: think the negative, the negatives and the press are they're

1697
01:28:55,200 --> 01:28:57,240
Speaker 3: waiting in the weeds to chop this thing down and

1698
01:28:57,280 --> 01:29:01,000
Speaker 3: that would be a shame. Another major story, you know,

1699
01:29:01,040 --> 01:29:03,920
Speaker 3: we talked about it a couple of weeks ago, how

1700
01:29:04,040 --> 01:29:07,599
Speaker 3: Las Vegas has had an immense breakout in the world

1701
01:29:07,600 --> 01:29:09,720
Speaker 3: of sports. I've got the Golden Knights who won a

1702
01:29:09,760 --> 01:29:12,320
Speaker 3: Stanley Cup, the Las Vegas Aces WNBA team back to

1703
01:29:12,360 --> 01:29:15,479
Speaker 3: back championships. You still got UNLV. Their football team is

1704
01:29:15,479 --> 01:29:17,439
Speaker 3: one of the best in school's history. Got to a

1705
01:29:17,439 --> 01:29:19,679
Speaker 3: bowl game this year, got to the Mount and West

1706
01:29:19,720 --> 01:29:21,559
Speaker 3: Conference championship game.

1707
01:29:22,520 --> 01:29:23,280
Speaker 2: The Raiders are.

1708
01:29:23,160 --> 01:29:26,000
Speaker 3: Here, the Super Bowls here, we have the you know,

1709
01:29:26,120 --> 01:29:31,040
Speaker 3: NCAA tournament here, plenty of college conference tournaments, and we'll

1710
01:29:31,080 --> 01:29:35,040
Speaker 3: have March Madness games here. The Oakland A's are slated

1711
01:29:35,080 --> 01:29:37,400
Speaker 3: to come in twenty twenty eight. We just had an

1712
01:29:37,479 --> 01:29:41,080
Speaker 3: F one race. Vegas is all about glitz and glamour,

1713
01:29:41,600 --> 01:29:46,200
Speaker 3: and obviously you know it was an incredibly blockbuster twenty

1714
01:29:46,200 --> 01:29:49,559
Speaker 3: twenty three. Again, as I said, you know, two titles.

1715
01:29:49,920 --> 01:29:53,360
Speaker 3: The Aces won again the NWNBA and the Golden Knights.

1716
01:29:53,760 --> 01:29:56,840
Speaker 3: We had the Las Vegas Grand Prix. The msg' spear

1717
01:29:56,920 --> 01:30:00,200
Speaker 3: opened the Oh did I forget the inaugural NBA end

1718
01:30:00,240 --> 01:30:01,080
Speaker 3: season tournament.

1719
01:30:02,040 --> 01:30:03,439
Speaker 2: So next up in.

1720
01:30:03,439 --> 01:30:06,280
Speaker 3: Three weeks the Super Bowl fifty eight the Legion Stadium.

1721
01:30:07,240 --> 01:30:09,360
Speaker 3: We will see a return to Formula one again later

1722
01:30:09,400 --> 01:30:13,240
Speaker 3: in November and uh and probably another iteration of the

1723
01:30:13,280 --> 01:30:18,160
Speaker 3: in season tournament. But here's what's interesting. Can Vegas sustain

1724
01:30:18,320 --> 01:30:23,560
Speaker 3: Can we sustain this growth, rapid growth and sports cornacopia

1725
01:30:24,280 --> 01:30:27,080
Speaker 3: and we're the forty we're the fortieth largest media market

1726
01:30:27,120 --> 01:30:30,240
Speaker 3: in the United States, and so it will remain to

1727
01:30:30,240 --> 01:30:33,439
Speaker 3: be seen. Can Vegas stay on this trail? I got

1728
01:30:33,439 --> 01:30:36,600
Speaker 3: to tell you what an incredible destination city come to.

1729
01:30:36,680 --> 01:30:38,960
Speaker 3: You go to the games and you see the people

1730
01:30:39,000 --> 01:30:42,920
Speaker 3: coming in from out of town and it's amazing. How

1731
01:30:42,960 --> 01:30:46,320
Speaker 3: about Major League Soccer? Yeah, they're going to be in

1732
01:30:46,360 --> 01:30:50,240
Speaker 3: the news. Lionel Messi had a major impact than Entner Miami.

1733
01:30:50,240 --> 01:30:52,200
Speaker 3: It was unprecedented last year, even if though only it

1734
01:30:52,240 --> 01:30:54,920
Speaker 3: was just a few months. So in twenty twenty four,

1735
01:30:55,000 --> 01:30:57,920
Speaker 3: Messi's gonna get an entire MLS season to make his

1736
01:30:58,000 --> 01:31:00,839
Speaker 3: mark on American soccer. Now, Miami's already the betting favorite

1737
01:31:01,000 --> 01:31:04,240
Speaker 3: to win the twenty four MLS Cup and they're going

1738
01:31:04,280 --> 01:31:07,400
Speaker 3: to get a chance to defend their league title. Their

1739
01:31:07,800 --> 01:31:10,360
Speaker 3: revenue could hit two hundred million this year. That would

1740
01:31:10,400 --> 01:31:14,800
Speaker 3: be a MLS record thanks to Messi, and I think

1741
01:31:14,840 --> 01:31:16,200
Speaker 3: you're going to look for the rest of the league

1742
01:31:16,200 --> 01:31:20,800
Speaker 3: to capitalize on the Messi business plan as you bring

1743
01:31:20,840 --> 01:31:23,639
Speaker 3: in more stars is people want to come to your

1744
01:31:23,680 --> 01:31:27,920
Speaker 3: stadiums to see these stars. And speaking of stars, all

1745
01:31:27,920 --> 01:31:30,080
Speaker 3: eyes it won't be long now, will be in spring

1746
01:31:30,160 --> 01:31:32,519
Speaker 3: training coming up in a couple weeks. I'm gonna have

1747
01:31:32,520 --> 01:31:39,160
Speaker 3: a Shohio Tani. Mark your calendar dates. The Dodgers, my god.

1748
01:31:39,479 --> 01:31:41,760
Speaker 3: I don't know if money can buy love, and I

1749
01:31:41,800 --> 01:31:43,320
Speaker 3: don't know if I can buy a pennant, but they're

1750
01:31:43,360 --> 01:31:44,200
Speaker 3: sure as they'll try.

1751
01:31:44,200 --> 01:31:45,360
Speaker 2: And the Guggenheim.

1752
01:31:45,880 --> 01:31:49,280
Speaker 3: I always said this was a vanity play, but I

1753
01:31:49,320 --> 01:31:51,040
Speaker 3: don't see that for a batterieson. They own all kind

1754
01:31:51,080 --> 01:31:53,000
Speaker 3: of art. They want to win, and they're putting their

1755
01:31:53,000 --> 01:31:55,240
Speaker 3: money where their mouth is. And so Mark Walter the

1756
01:31:55,280 --> 01:31:57,880
Speaker 3: ownership era. It's a bit of a double edged sword

1757
01:31:57,920 --> 01:32:02,800
Speaker 3: because in many respects, Guggenheim Management has been the most

1758
01:32:02,800 --> 01:32:07,360
Speaker 3: successful ownership in since twenty twelve. They win ten division

1759
01:32:07,439 --> 01:32:11,160
Speaker 3: titles and they lead the league in attendance ten straight years.

1760
01:32:11,880 --> 01:32:13,360
Speaker 3: But they want to win a World Series. The only

1761
01:32:13,400 --> 01:32:16,960
Speaker 3: world World Series was in twenty twenty, and people believe

1762
01:32:17,000 --> 01:32:19,520
Speaker 3: that was kind of an asterisk because it was a pandemic.

1763
01:32:19,560 --> 01:32:23,479
Speaker 3: But the Dodgers have committed more than a billion dollars

1764
01:32:24,160 --> 01:32:28,160
Speaker 3: with Shohei Otani it's seven hundred million and Yoshanoba Yamamoto

1765
01:32:28,280 --> 01:32:31,000
Speaker 3: three twenty five to record setting deal. This is incredible,

1766
01:32:31,040 --> 01:32:34,439
Speaker 3: the billion dollars tied up in two players. But the Dodgers,

1767
01:32:34,560 --> 01:32:37,160
Speaker 3: they'll lead the league in attendance again this year. Otanian

1768
01:32:37,240 --> 01:32:40,599
Speaker 3: Yamamoto will hit levels of fame. There'll be international stars

1769
01:32:40,600 --> 01:32:44,759
Speaker 3: at Chavez Ravine. Japan will will the country of Japan

1770
01:32:44,800 --> 01:32:48,320
Speaker 3: will will televise every one of their games. Plus spending

1771
01:32:48,360 --> 01:32:52,080
Speaker 3: will also reignite the debate among fans and other MLB

1772
01:32:52,240 --> 01:32:55,040
Speaker 3: teams about the merits of a salary cap, should there

1773
01:32:55,040 --> 01:32:56,639
Speaker 3: be one, never going to be one, the players will

1774
01:32:56,640 --> 01:32:58,160
Speaker 3: never do it. They'll they'll go on strike for three

1775
01:32:58,240 --> 01:33:00,799
Speaker 3: years before they trust me. I covered the ninety four strike.

1776
01:33:01,160 --> 01:33:01,600
Speaker 2: Trust me.

1777
01:33:02,000 --> 01:33:04,839
Speaker 3: But it's World Series or bus for Los Angeles, I believe,

1778
01:33:05,760 --> 01:33:08,040
Speaker 3: because none of this is gonna matter without a championship.

1779
01:33:08,040 --> 01:33:08,479
Speaker 3: But they're going to.

1780
01:33:08,520 --> 01:33:09,640
Speaker 2: They don't have to do it this year. But if

1781
01:33:09,640 --> 01:33:10,479
Speaker 2: they don't do it.

1782
01:33:12,320 --> 01:33:15,559
Speaker 3: You know, I gotta believe that there'll be some teeth

1783
01:33:15,560 --> 01:33:17,680
Speaker 3: gnashing because they've already won the division every year. They

1784
01:33:17,680 --> 01:33:21,639
Speaker 3: already lead the Intendants League Attendants every year. So these

1785
01:33:21,640 --> 01:33:25,559
Speaker 3: are gonna be stories we're going to follow throughout the year.

1786
01:33:26,000 --> 01:33:29,800
Speaker 3: Right the expanded college Football Playoff, the argument in the

1787
01:33:29,840 --> 01:33:32,280
Speaker 3: courts about our college athletes.

1788
01:33:32,439 --> 01:33:34,160
Speaker 2: Student athletes are the employees.

1789
01:33:34,200 --> 01:33:37,320
Speaker 3: What's gonna happen between the Live Tour and the PGA Tour,

1790
01:33:37,560 --> 01:33:41,840
Speaker 3: the Olympics in Paris, it feels like they're the luster.

1791
01:33:42,280 --> 01:33:43,960
Speaker 3: The balloom is off the rolls when it comes to

1792
01:33:44,720 --> 01:33:48,400
Speaker 3: what was always a majestic sporting event, the Olympics. Can

1793
01:33:48,520 --> 01:33:52,640
Speaker 3: Las Vegas? Can we sustain our sports growth and craziness,

1794
01:33:52,680 --> 01:33:55,519
Speaker 3: and of course Messi and Major League Soccer, and let's

1795
01:33:55,520 --> 01:33:58,800
Speaker 3: not forget the Dodgers. We're just around the corner from

1796
01:33:58,840 --> 01:34:02,320
Speaker 3: spring training, lots to look forward to. By the way,

Speaker 3: a reporter in a press conference earlier in the week.

1810

Speaker 3: be your dream Super Bowl matchup? I have already spilled

1821
01:35:22,720 --> 01:35:25,599

Speaker 3: I'll explain why. We'll get Nick and Ian and Shane

Speaker 3: Mark get their thoughts after the bottom of the arm.

1824
01:35:31,800 --> 01:35:34,360
Speaker 3: By the way, we're thirty six minutes away from the

1825
01:35:34,439 --> 01:35:36,479
Speaker 3: Dance Sensation sweep of the nation. What kind of brand

1826
01:35:36,560 --> 01:35:40,440
Speaker 3: new fool you followed by what my name fresh additions.

1827
01:35:41,600 --> 01:35:43,880
Speaker 3: I've been thinking about this for a while, and you

1828
01:35:44,000 --> 01:35:47,160
Speaker 3: find Tampa Bay one game away from getting to the

1829
01:35:47,280 --> 01:35:51,280
Speaker 3: NFC Championship Game, and all year their coach has been maligned.

1830
01:35:52,200 --> 01:35:56,120
Speaker 3: People criticize him, they second guess him, they backstab him,

1831
01:35:56,120 --> 01:36:00,840
Speaker 3: they want him fired every other week. Todd has done

1832
01:36:00,840 --> 01:36:05,920
Speaker 3: an outstanding job, I believe, honestly, of this Tampa Bay

1833
01:36:05,920 --> 01:36:07,800
Speaker 3: buccan Ander team. There's a lot of things that don't

1834
01:36:07,800 --> 01:36:10,200
Speaker 3: do great, that'll run the ball great, but they're in

1835
01:36:10,280 --> 01:36:15,000
Speaker 3: the playoffs and look where they're at. And whatever people

1836
01:36:15,040 --> 01:36:16,320
Speaker 3: may think about Todd Bowles.

1837
01:36:16,360 --> 01:36:16,640
Speaker 2: Know this.

1838
01:36:16,840 --> 01:36:19,800
Speaker 3: They love that guy. The team loves that guy. They

1839
01:36:19,800 --> 01:36:24,400
Speaker 3: play hard for him, they respect him, and you can

1840
01:36:24,479 --> 01:36:29,800
Speaker 3: see it. And let's not forget it wasn't that long.

1841
01:36:30,120 --> 01:36:34,320
Speaker 3: Remember this guy takes over the year Brady leaves. It

1842
01:36:34,400 --> 01:36:36,599
Speaker 3: was almost like people just waited for him to fail.

1843
01:36:36,680 --> 01:36:37,000
Speaker 2: He's not.

1844
01:36:37,880 --> 01:36:40,160
Speaker 3: I'll tell you, I like Todd Bowles a lot. I

1845
01:36:40,200 --> 01:36:42,479
Speaker 3: like what I see. I like his demeanor. I like

1846
01:36:42,520 --> 01:36:45,599
Speaker 3: the way he manages his affairs. You know, all types

1847
01:36:45,640 --> 01:36:50,799
Speaker 3: of leadership win fail, and all types succeed. Tony Dungee,

1848
01:36:50,960 --> 01:36:52,680
Speaker 3: I've always said, when I grew up, I want to

1849
01:36:52,720 --> 01:36:55,120
Speaker 3: be Tony Dungee. I've told the story on the radio

1850
01:36:55,160 --> 01:36:58,080
Speaker 3: many times about why he didn't believe he was hired

1851
01:36:58,600 --> 01:37:01,920
Speaker 3: for the first few jobs. Coach managers or checked that

1852
01:37:01,960 --> 01:37:04,240
Speaker 3: owners thought he was perhaps too docile.

1853
01:37:04,360 --> 01:37:04,680
Speaker 2: He's not.

1854
01:37:04,880 --> 01:37:06,920
Speaker 3: He played in the NFL for crying out loud, but

1855
01:37:06,960 --> 01:37:09,320
Speaker 3: he doesn't need to scream and yell and swear to

1856
01:37:09,360 --> 01:37:10,560
Speaker 3: get his point across.

1857
01:37:10,280 --> 01:37:11,320
Speaker 2: Neither is Todd Bowles.

1858
01:37:11,320 --> 01:37:14,799
Speaker 3: But if you forget, if people forgotten what an awesome

1859
01:37:14,840 --> 01:37:18,040
Speaker 3: defensive coordinator Todd Bowles was while he was the defensive

1860
01:37:18,040 --> 01:37:21,920
Speaker 3: coordinator for Bruce arians that was the defense that completely

1861
01:37:22,000 --> 01:37:25,559
Speaker 3: took Patrick Mahomes and Kansas City apart three years ago.

1862
01:37:25,960 --> 01:37:29,320
Speaker 3: That was Todd Bowles and now as a head coach

1863
01:37:29,360 --> 01:37:31,760
Speaker 3: with Baker Mayfield, was on his fourth team and a

1864
01:37:31,800 --> 01:37:34,680
Speaker 3: team that doesn't run the ball in a city that

1865
01:37:35,600 --> 01:37:37,680
Speaker 3: threatens ton't want to fire this guy every time he

1866
01:37:37,720 --> 01:37:42,160
Speaker 3: wakes up. They're in the playoffs and they are one

1867
01:37:42,200 --> 01:37:45,439
Speaker 3: game away from going to the NFC Championship. So I

1868
01:37:45,439 --> 01:37:47,200
Speaker 3: think you got to put a lot more respect on

1869
01:37:47,280 --> 01:37:50,160
Speaker 3: Todd Bowles's name. And I one of the reasons that

1870
01:37:50,320 --> 01:37:52,920
Speaker 3: really made me made this come to light. You know,

1871
01:37:52,920 --> 01:37:55,719
Speaker 3: there's an old saying class never goes out of style.

1872
01:37:55,840 --> 01:37:58,160
Speaker 3: Respect never goes out of style, and that's Todd Bowles.

1873
01:37:58,200 --> 01:37:59,920
Speaker 3: And you may have heard the story earlier in the week,

1874
01:38:01,560 --> 01:38:03,840
Speaker 3: and to anybody who's heard the sound bites of press

1875
01:38:03,880 --> 01:38:06,240
Speaker 3: conferences over the years on the radios, on the radio,

1876
01:38:06,280 --> 01:38:08,800
Speaker 3: and I can tell you since nineteen ninety four, my god,

1877
01:38:08,840 --> 01:38:11,120
Speaker 3: I probably sat in two hundred press conferences and hated

1878
01:38:11,120 --> 01:38:11,800
Speaker 3: every one of them.

1879
01:38:12,160 --> 01:38:14,479
Speaker 2: Dumb questions, lamb questions.

1880
01:38:14,479 --> 01:38:16,120
Speaker 3: I mean, do you really want to know the answer,

1881
01:38:16,800 --> 01:38:19,800
Speaker 3: or you know, you ask a guy, you know, he

1882
01:38:19,920 --> 01:38:22,200
Speaker 3: just hit three grand slams, puts two no hitters, and

1883
01:38:22,920 --> 01:38:24,400
Speaker 3: saved the baby from a burning building.

1884
01:38:24,400 --> 01:38:25,400
Speaker 2: Well, what does it mean to you?

1885
01:38:25,600 --> 01:38:29,799
Speaker 3: Oh, no, big deal. Dumb questions. I've never asked one question,

1886
01:38:29,840 --> 01:38:32,640
Speaker 3: and I'm proud of the fact I haven't because I

1887
01:38:32,680 --> 01:38:37,160
Speaker 3: don't care. But I will say this, everyone other reporter

1888
01:38:37,280 --> 01:38:41,040
Speaker 3: likes to ask questions, and one particular reporter had something

1889
01:38:41,080 --> 01:38:43,479
Speaker 3: on his mind just this last Tuesday when he decided

1890
01:38:43,520 --> 01:38:47,519
Speaker 3: he would ask Todd Todd Bowles, the head coach of

1891
01:38:47,560 --> 01:38:52,080
Speaker 3: the Bucks, you know how he would prepare for Detroit

1892
01:38:53,040 --> 01:38:57,120
Speaker 3: because it was thirteen degrees in Detroit. And here's the

1893
01:38:57,200 --> 01:39:00,360
Speaker 3: reporter's question, says, quote looking forward to Detroit, coach, the

1894
01:39:00,400 --> 01:39:02,840
Speaker 3: weather's been a factor in some of the playoff games,

1895
01:39:02,880 --> 01:39:06,360
Speaker 3: even for the most prepared teams. Today it's thirteen in Detroit.

1896
01:39:07,040 --> 01:39:10,040
Speaker 3: Any special plans to acclimate the team to not only

1897
01:39:10,160 --> 01:39:14,680
Speaker 3: endure but performing those kind of frigid temperatures? Should you

1898
01:39:14,720 --> 01:39:20,840
Speaker 3: face the Lions in Detroit? Okay, that was a real question, now,

1899
01:39:20,920 --> 01:39:23,080
Speaker 3: you know darn well, I don't care if it might

1900
01:39:23,080 --> 01:39:26,840
Speaker 3: have been Belichick or There's certain NHL coaches that love

1901
01:39:26,880 --> 01:39:31,120
Speaker 3: to rip on the media, certain NBA coaches major League Baseball.

1902
01:39:31,640 --> 01:39:33,840
Speaker 3: You know, darn well, I'm not going to name names.

1903
01:39:34,200 --> 01:39:37,560
Speaker 3: There are plenty of people who would have barbecued this kid.

1904
01:39:38,880 --> 01:39:42,080
Speaker 3: Todd Bowles gathered himself, just paused for a couple seconds,

1905
01:39:42,120 --> 01:39:44,479
Speaker 3: and he was very polite, and he says, you know,

1906
01:39:44,560 --> 01:39:47,800
Speaker 3: we play in doors, right the Lion's playing doors. They

1907
01:39:47,840 --> 01:39:51,000
Speaker 3: got a dome, and I realize we'll be outside when

1908
01:39:51,000 --> 01:39:52,800
Speaker 3: we walked from the bus to the stadium, but you know,

1909
01:39:52,840 --> 01:39:57,040
Speaker 3: it's only about twenty seconds. Clearly he was taken aback

1910
01:39:57,080 --> 01:39:57,759
Speaker 3: by the question.

1911
01:39:57,880 --> 01:39:58,639
Speaker 2: It was awkward.

1912
01:40:00,040 --> 01:40:03,280
Speaker 3: But that reporter apparently didn't know that the Lions have

1913
01:40:03,360 --> 01:40:06,439
Speaker 3: played in Ford Field, which is a dome stadium, since

1914
01:40:06,479 --> 01:40:08,080
Speaker 3: twenty oh two, and before that they played in the

1915
01:40:08,120 --> 01:40:12,240
Speaker 3: Pontiac Silverdome for thirty seven years. So since nineteen seventy five,

1916
01:40:12,240 --> 01:40:16,160
Speaker 3: pro football in Detroit has been always indoors. But Todd

1917
01:40:16,200 --> 01:40:19,080
Speaker 3: Bowles could have taken that a lot of ways. He

1918
01:40:19,080 --> 01:40:21,320
Speaker 3: could have turned it into a one liner. He could

1919
01:40:21,360 --> 01:40:24,240
Speaker 3: have reached for a laugh line at the reporter's expense.

1920
01:40:24,240 --> 01:40:26,679
Speaker 3: He could have embarrassed him. Look, I once saw Lloyd

1921
01:40:26,680 --> 01:40:29,320
Speaker 3: Carr look at a reporter and say, that's the dumbest question.

1922
01:40:29,439 --> 01:40:32,640
Speaker 3: I've ever heard Lloyd was a longtime, very successful head

1923
01:40:32,680 --> 01:40:35,800
Speaker 3: coach University of Michigan. Now Lloyd apologized a couple days later,

1924
01:40:36,280 --> 01:40:38,479
Speaker 3: but you know, darn well many would have taken that

1925
01:40:38,560 --> 01:40:42,160
Speaker 3: opportunity to barbecue the kid. Reason number thirty seven. Todd

1926
01:40:42,200 --> 01:40:45,400
Speaker 3: Bowles is not only a class act in the way

1927
01:40:45,439 --> 01:40:48,439
Speaker 3: he handled that situation, but deserves a lot of credit

1928
01:40:48,479 --> 01:40:50,400
Speaker 3: for what he's done with the Tampa Bay Buccaneer team,

1929
01:40:50,600 --> 01:40:54,840
Speaker 3: who virtually nobody picked to win the NFC South. Props

1930
01:40:54,920 --> 01:40:57,960
Speaker 3: to Todd Bowles. It's a good man coming up. We'll

1931
01:40:57,960 --> 01:41:00,800
Speaker 3: bring in the crew talk about what would be your

1932
01:41:00,840 --> 01:41:03,320
Speaker 3: dream Super Bowl matchup and why. But first's go back

1933
01:41:03,320 --> 01:41:04,799

Speaker 6: the fourth quarter, but they do rally and they beat

1940

1949
01:41:50,080 --> 01:41:53,360
Speaker 6: Team source told the ESPN that they believe Samuel has

1950
01:41:53,400 --> 01:41:57,360
Speaker 6: a chance to play next week. Earlier on Saturday, the

1951
01:41:57,600 --> 01:42:00,840

1952

1954
01:42:07,680 --> 01:42:10,799

1955
01:42:10,840 --> 01:42:14,479
Speaker 6: Houston to just two hundred thirteen total yards. Texans only

1956
01:42:14,560 --> 01:42:17,680

1957
01:42:17,720 --> 01:42:20,880

1977
01:43:30,080 --> 01:43:33,439
Speaker 2: You all right, thanks Nick all right, So let's talk

1978
01:43:33,479 --> 01:43:33,960
Speaker 2: about this.

1979
01:43:34,920 --> 01:43:37,519
Speaker 3: Three weeks from today, the Super Bowl will be played

1980
01:43:37,560 --> 01:43:42,680
Speaker 3: here in Las Vegas, super Bowl fifty eight, and a

1981
01:43:42,720 --> 01:43:45,320
Speaker 3: lot of the usual suspects are hanging around the Baltimore's

1982
01:43:45,360 --> 01:43:47,840
Speaker 3: and the San Francisco's. But there's some teams in this

1983
01:43:47,920 --> 01:43:52,160
Speaker 3: tournament who've never won a Super Bowl. So I want

1984
01:43:52,200 --> 01:43:53,680
Speaker 3: to bring the crew in. If you could wave a

1985
01:43:53,680 --> 01:43:58,160
Speaker 3: magic wand and your magic wand could put those two

1986
01:43:58,200 --> 01:44:01,240
Speaker 3: teams in the Super Bowl, who would they be?

1987
01:44:01,320 --> 01:44:05,519
Speaker 2: And for me, I'll go first, easy Detroit and Buffalo. Listen.

1988
01:44:05,560 --> 01:44:07,760
Speaker 3: I covered the Bad Boy Pistons. I covered the two

1989
01:44:07,800 --> 01:44:10,120
Speaker 3: thousand and Ford Larry Brown team that beat the Lakers.

1990
01:44:10,600 --> 01:44:13,719
Speaker 3: The Tigers get into the World Series in six Remember

1991
01:44:13,720 --> 01:44:15,639
Speaker 3: the eighty four Tigers that won it all. My buddy

1992
01:44:15,640 --> 01:44:18,679
Speaker 3: Marty Castillo hit a home run in the World Series.

1993
01:44:19,080 --> 01:44:22,400
Speaker 3: Of course, the Red Wings three Stanley Cups under Scottie

1994
01:44:22,400 --> 01:44:25,560
Speaker 3: Bowman while I was there, and one under Mike Babcock.

1995
01:44:26,400 --> 01:44:28,439
Speaker 3: If the Lions just got to the Super Bowl, they'd

1996
01:44:28,439 --> 01:44:30,040
Speaker 3: have to shut down the city for three days. You

1997
01:44:30,080 --> 01:44:32,479
Speaker 3: can't know how much it means to this city for

1998
01:44:32,520 --> 01:44:35,559
Speaker 3: the Lions to do something like that. And Buffalo got

1999
01:44:35,600 --> 01:44:37,840
Speaker 3: four times in a row, and somehow they're a punchline

2000
01:44:38,000 --> 01:44:42,040
Speaker 3: because they never won one. If the sports gods are alive,

2001
01:44:43,040 --> 01:44:45,960
Speaker 3: throw Buffalo a bomb, Throw the Lions a bone. Two

2002
01:44:46,040 --> 01:44:49,040
Speaker 3: great fan bases, two great cities of people, hard working,

2003
01:44:49,120 --> 01:44:52,559
Speaker 3: god fearing. It would mean so much to them, and

2004
01:44:52,600 --> 01:44:54,800
Speaker 3: it would be a great matchup. By the way, now

2005
01:44:54,840 --> 01:44:56,960
Speaker 3: the networks may not love it so much. Maybe not

2006
01:44:57,000 --> 01:45:01,320
Speaker 3: two major media markets too bad styles make fights you'd

2007
01:45:01,360 --> 01:45:04,960
Speaker 3: have you'd have great backstories here. So and by the way,

2008
01:45:04,960 --> 01:45:07,320
Speaker 3: one of my favorite all time ESPN thirty for thirties

2009
01:45:07,400 --> 01:45:10,760
Speaker 3: is the Four Falls of Buffalo, so good. In the

2010
01:45:10,760 --> 01:45:15,240
Speaker 3: final thirty seconds they show Scott Norwood's field goal making

2011
01:45:15,280 --> 01:45:17,760
Speaker 3: it against the New York Giants going through the uprights

2012
01:45:17,840 --> 01:45:20,880
Speaker 3: with Elvis Presley. If I can dream and the h

2013
01:45:21,280 --> 01:45:23,240
Speaker 3: and the music bed it gives you chills talking about it.

2014
01:45:23,280 --> 01:45:25,800
Speaker 3: So I would like Detroit Buffalo. All right, Ian, I

2015
01:45:25,840 --> 01:45:28,640
Speaker 3: know you're a big sports fan. What would be your

2016
01:45:28,720 --> 01:45:30,439
Speaker 3: dream matchup in the Super Bowl? If you could wave

2017
01:45:30,479 --> 01:45:32,719
Speaker 3: a magic wand Bernie.

2018
01:45:32,920 --> 01:45:36,759
Speaker 11: I as much as I want to give some fun,

2019
01:45:36,880 --> 01:45:40,040
Speaker 11: obscure matchup here like Bucks, you know, or include a

2020
01:45:40,080 --> 01:45:42,360
Speaker 11: team like that, but at the end of the day.

2021
01:45:42,680 --> 01:45:44,840
Speaker 11: I'm a simple guy. I'm an enjoyer of the game

2022
01:45:44,840 --> 01:45:47,120
Speaker 11: of football. I want I want the Ravens and Niners,

2023
01:45:47,120 --> 01:45:49,960
Speaker 11: the two teams. Yeah, exactly, the two anyways, right that

2024
01:45:50,160 --> 01:45:52,719
Speaker 11: I view as the two best teams in the NFL.

2025
01:45:52,760 --> 01:45:55,040
Speaker 11: I think that's going to produce the best football game.

2026
01:45:56,120 --> 01:45:57,200
Speaker 11: And that's what I'm rooting for.

2027
01:45:58,880 --> 01:46:00,320
Speaker 2: Where you from originally Ian?

2028
01:46:00,479 --> 01:46:01,760
Speaker 6: So originally I'm from New York.

2029
01:46:01,760 --> 01:46:03,719
Speaker 11: So I'm actually a Jets fan, which means I don't

2030
01:46:03,760 --> 01:46:05,759
Speaker 11: often get to root for a lot of good football.

2031
01:46:05,800 --> 01:46:06,960
Speaker 6: So maybe that's from the.

2032
01:46:06,880 --> 01:46:12,360
Speaker 2: City Long Island. Yes, but not going to find a

2033
01:46:12,360 --> 01:46:14,280
Speaker 2: good egg cream in LA I'll tell you that right now.

2034
01:46:14,439 --> 01:46:17,320
Speaker 11: Yeah. But but my family did move to the Bay Area,

2035
01:46:17,840 --> 01:46:19,040
Speaker 11: so I went to high school there.

2036
01:46:19,320 --> 01:46:21,880
Speaker 6: Okay, yeah, so for all.

2037
01:46:21,800 --> 01:46:23,800
Speaker 3: Right, Well, I can't argue with you. If it ends

2038
01:46:23,880 --> 01:46:27,599
Speaker 3: up being Baltimore in San Francisco, the build up will

2039
01:46:27,640 --> 01:46:30,080
Speaker 3: be tremendous. Of course, it's a matchup. It's a rematch

2040
01:46:30,120 --> 01:46:33,520
Speaker 3: of eleven years ago, and these are your two heavyweights,

2041
01:46:33,520 --> 01:46:36,120
Speaker 3: all right, Shae Morgan guard your dream matchup in the

2042
01:46:36,160 --> 01:46:39,080
Speaker 3: Super Bowl, wave your magic wand Hi Bernie.

2043
01:46:39,120 --> 01:46:41,000
Speaker 12: I'm gonna have to agree with you in your matchup.

2044
01:46:41,640 --> 01:46:43,519
Speaker 12: I mean, as a Browns fan, I just have a

2045
01:46:43,560 --> 01:46:46,320
Speaker 12: soft spot for people that haven't been there, haven't won

2046
01:46:46,360 --> 01:46:48,680
Speaker 12: a super Bowl yet, So I mean, I just I

2047
01:46:48,760 --> 01:46:51,120
Speaker 12: get it. And for the fan bases, it'd be super cool.

2048
01:46:51,160 --> 01:46:53,799
Speaker 12: I mean, and those are two very fun fan bases.

2049
01:46:53,920 --> 01:46:56,880
Speaker 12: And I mean the media and the content coming out

2050
01:46:56,920 --> 01:46:59,240
Speaker 12: of that weekend would be really fun, not just the game,

2051
01:46:59,439 --> 01:47:01,519
Speaker 12: just the things surrounding the game would be a lot

2052
01:47:01,520 --> 01:47:03,679
Speaker 12: of fun with those two fan bases. So that's something

2053
01:47:03,720 --> 01:47:05,599
Speaker 12: definitely I'd like to see. So, yeah, Lion's a bill

2054
01:47:05,680 --> 01:47:06,439
Speaker 12: the same as yours.

2055
01:47:06,800 --> 01:47:10,120
Speaker 3: Fair and uh, it's a bummer Cleveland got knocked out?

2056
01:47:10,120 --> 01:47:11,479
Speaker 3: That would have been call are you from Cleveland?

2057
01:47:11,520 --> 01:47:11,920
Speaker 2: Originally?

2058
01:47:12,000 --> 01:47:15,000
Speaker 12: Sche No, I'm born and raised in LA. That's why

2059
01:47:15,000 --> 01:47:17,200
Speaker 12: I've got Cleveland fan though, because we never really had

2060
01:47:17,200 --> 01:47:18,000
Speaker 12: a team out here.

2061
01:47:18,560 --> 01:47:21,479
Speaker 3: Fair enough, fair enough, all good. Cleveland's a great city too.

2062
01:47:21,479 --> 01:47:22,599
Speaker 3: I spent a lot of time there.

2063
01:47:23,040 --> 01:47:24,759
Speaker 6: Yeah all right, well it's beautiful.

2064
01:47:25,120 --> 01:47:29,240
Speaker 3: Hey, a lot great Italian restaurants, Cedar Point, the Flat

2065
01:47:29,240 --> 01:47:32,120
Speaker 3: Well used to be the Flats party area, Brooke Lake

2066
01:47:32,120 --> 01:47:35,360
Speaker 3: Front Airport. You know, you know, with the Cleveland Indians play,

2067
01:47:35,439 --> 01:47:38,960
Speaker 3: you got you got the NBA, you got the NFL. Look,

2068
01:47:39,640 --> 01:47:41,840
Speaker 3: it's it's a cool area. People don't realize that. The

2069
01:47:41,880 --> 01:47:45,040
Speaker 3: Kyle Hoga sunset. People know what I'm talking about. Somebody

2070
01:47:45,080 --> 01:47:47,400
Speaker 3: tweet at us it's a great place. I really mean that.

2071
01:47:47,960 --> 01:47:48,400
Speaker 2: All right?

2072
01:47:48,600 --> 01:47:51,760
Speaker 3: Uh, Nick Cole, your thoughts on the matter, You wave

2073
01:47:51,800 --> 01:47:54,040
Speaker 3: your magic wand what super Bowl would you like to see?

2074
01:47:54,240 --> 01:47:57,240
Speaker 6: Well, I'm heavily biased, so one half would have to

2075
01:47:57,240 --> 01:47:59,840
Speaker 6: be the forty nine ers in I think they need to,

2076
01:48:00,000 --> 01:48:03,960
Speaker 6: you know, not only exact the demons of Christmas Day,

2077
01:48:04,160 --> 01:48:07,479
Speaker 6: but of the blackout game in New Orleans of eleven

2078
01:48:07,560 --> 01:48:09,720
Speaker 6: years ago. And I'd like to see them have to

2079
01:48:09,760 --> 01:48:12,240
Speaker 6: go through the Ravens. But if you want me to

2080
01:48:12,280 --> 01:48:15,719
Speaker 6: take my unbiased cap off, I would love to see

2081
01:48:15,760 --> 01:48:18,640
Speaker 6: Lions bills as well, not just for the okay, one

2082
01:48:18,680 --> 01:48:21,840
Speaker 6: of these fan bases is getting a win, but the

2083
01:48:21,840 --> 01:48:24,639
Speaker 6: the sadistic side of me would also be like, man,

2084
01:48:24,760 --> 01:48:28,000
Speaker 6: the losing side of this, it would just be so

2085
01:48:28,320 --> 01:48:32,280
Speaker 6: brutal for whoever loses the super Bowl in that matchup,

2086
01:48:32,439 --> 01:48:35,840
Speaker 6: and from a from a really sick point of view,

2087
01:48:35,840 --> 01:48:37,960
Speaker 6: it would be something to watch as well.

2088
01:48:39,200 --> 01:48:41,479
Speaker 2: So I know I kind of.

2089
01:48:43,439 --> 01:48:47,280
Speaker 6: Niners Ravens. I'd like to see them go go through

2090
01:48:47,320 --> 01:48:50,040
Speaker 6: the Ravens, the team they haven't been able to beat

2091
01:48:50,160 --> 01:48:51,760
Speaker 6: in these big games.

2092
01:48:53,160 --> 01:48:56,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, fair enough, Okay, all right, Uh Mark Ramsey, your.

2093
01:48:56,680 --> 01:49:02,960
Speaker 13: Thoughts Mine is a totally emotional argument. My family, we

2094
01:49:03,160 --> 01:49:05,559
Speaker 13: go to Detroit a lot. My aunts and uncles are

2095
01:49:05,600 --> 01:49:08,000
Speaker 13: over there, So just spending time over there and going

2096
01:49:08,040 --> 01:49:10,160
Speaker 13: to Detroit a lot. You know, it's a four and

2097
01:49:10,160 --> 01:49:12,680
Speaker 13: a half hour ride from Chicago to Detroit, so.

2098
01:49:13,040 --> 01:49:16,559
Speaker 2: Right right around it, right around Detroit Proper or one

2099
01:49:16,600 --> 01:49:17,120
Speaker 2: of the burbs.

2100
01:49:17,120 --> 01:49:19,160
Speaker 6: You know, I'm gonna take Detroit Proper.

2101
01:49:19,600 --> 01:49:20,920
Speaker 2: Okay, fair enough.

2102
01:49:21,040 --> 01:49:25,080
Speaker 13: And then the other team would be Buffalo, because I

2103
01:49:25,080 --> 01:49:29,360
Speaker 13: think if Buffalo went one more time, they might take

2104
01:49:29,400 --> 01:49:31,840
Speaker 13: the onus off the Vikings, who have been a bunch

2105
01:49:31,880 --> 01:49:34,240
Speaker 13: of times and never won. So that's another whole argument.

2106
01:49:34,560 --> 01:49:37,800
Speaker 13: But I'd rather see Detroit and Buffalo go.

2107
01:49:39,560 --> 01:49:42,520
Speaker 2: Very interesting, so interesting.

2108
01:49:42,640 --> 01:49:47,240
Speaker 3: None of us mentioned Tampa Bay, which would be a

2109
01:49:47,280 --> 01:49:50,719
Speaker 3: story in itself because of Baker Mayfield and Todd Bowles

2110
01:49:50,760 --> 01:49:53,719
Speaker 3: and things I just mentioned. And imagine that Tom Brady

2111
01:49:53,840 --> 01:49:58,120
Speaker 3: leaves town, well he retires, Todd Bowles takes over, and

2112
01:49:58,160 --> 01:50:02,760
Speaker 3: they get to the freaking Super Bowl. The next year.

2113
01:50:02,880 --> 01:50:04,360
Speaker 3: And and by the way, I mentioned this at the

2114
01:50:04,400 --> 01:50:09,640
Speaker 3: top of the show, Marca calendars, because either Baker Mayfield,

2115
01:50:10,439 --> 01:50:14,360
Speaker 3: Jared Goff or Rock Purty, it's gonna be your starting

2116
01:50:14,439 --> 01:50:19,040
Speaker 3: quarterback for the NFC in the Super Bowl. So so

2117
01:50:19,160 --> 01:50:21,320
Speaker 3: get your mind around that one. And then of course,

2118
01:50:23,400 --> 01:50:27,280
Speaker 3: you know, should be interesting to see who shows up

2119
01:50:27,280 --> 01:50:29,640
Speaker 3: in Baltimore next week. Might it be Kansas City? None

2120
01:50:29,680 --> 01:50:32,560
Speaker 3: of us mentioned Kansas City. Maybe maybe we got a

2121
01:50:32,600 --> 01:50:34,960
Speaker 3: little Kansas City fatigue. We've already seen it, been there

2122
01:50:35,000 --> 01:50:38,599
Speaker 3: and done that. I actually think, you know, what's interesting

2123
01:50:38,680 --> 01:50:44,080
Speaker 3: is there's clearly Baltimore and San Francisco are the two heavyweights,

2124
01:50:44,080 --> 01:50:45,559
Speaker 3: and there are the two number one seeds. But if

2125
01:50:45,600 --> 01:50:49,040
Speaker 3: you go back ten years in the National Football League,

2126
01:50:50,479 --> 01:50:54,280
Speaker 3: the number one seeds make it half the time, which

2127
01:50:54,320 --> 01:50:57,040
Speaker 3: means what I mean by that ten years, there's been

2128
01:50:57,040 --> 01:51:01,400
Speaker 3: twenty number one seeds and ten have made it to

2129
01:51:01,479 --> 01:51:06,400
Speaker 3: the Super Bowl, which if passed his prologue, either Baltimore

2130
01:51:06,600 --> 01:51:09,360
Speaker 3: or San Francisco is getting knocked out. Now, I don't know,

2131
01:51:09,400 --> 01:51:11,720
Speaker 3: maybe both of them make it, maybe neither of them

2132
01:51:11,720 --> 01:51:15,080
Speaker 3: make it. But if passed his prologue, typically you have

2133
01:51:15,160 --> 01:51:19,559
Speaker 3: a situation where they make it half the time, so

2134
01:51:20,000 --> 01:51:22,840
Speaker 3: we'll just have to see. I gotta tell you this

2135
01:51:22,880 --> 01:51:28,080
Speaker 3: game has got me intrigued. In Detroit, which kicks off

2136
01:51:28,080 --> 01:51:31,000
Speaker 3: here in a little over ten hours, I can't help

2137
01:51:31,000 --> 01:51:33,960
Speaker 3: but think there'll be some come down a little bit.

2138
01:51:34,080 --> 01:51:37,040
Speaker 3: And Tampa Bay's sneaky. I've seen this a thousand times.

2139
01:51:37,479 --> 01:51:39,080
Speaker 3: Everybody looks the other way, and the Bucks are on

2140
01:51:39,120 --> 01:51:41,120
Speaker 3: kind of this revenge story. They've been counted out all year.

2141
01:51:41,560 --> 01:51:43,120
Speaker 3: And by the way, you know I did this last

2142
01:51:43,200 --> 01:51:46,719
Speaker 3: nas dude'sco around the room one more time quickly. Both

2143
01:51:46,800 --> 01:51:55,759
Speaker 3: home teams prevailed Saturday, so we typically find out that

2144
01:51:56,240 --> 01:51:59,880
Speaker 3: in the divisional round, one of the visiting team's peace

2145
01:51:59,920 --> 01:52:01,160
Speaker 3: on someone else's parade.

2146
01:52:01,280 --> 01:52:02,080
Speaker 2: Well, there's only.

2147
01:52:01,880 --> 01:52:06,479
Speaker 3: Two left, Kansas City and Buffalo or Tampa Bay and Detroit,

2148
01:52:07,200 --> 01:52:09,800
Speaker 3: so we get you know, answers to half the test

2149
01:52:09,880 --> 01:52:12,840
Speaker 3: are rady today, no real surprise, although Green Bay gave

2150
01:52:12,920 --> 01:52:18,280
Speaker 3: San Francisco absolute scare ian which road team prevails tomorrow

2151
01:52:18,960 --> 01:52:22,400
Speaker 3: the most likely to prevail on Sunday and be the

2152
01:52:22,400 --> 01:52:24,599
Speaker 3: one team of the four on the road that ruins

2153
01:52:24,600 --> 01:52:25,559
Speaker 3: someone's home parade.

2154
01:52:26,280 --> 01:52:28,400
Speaker 11: I would love to see the Bucks, but if we're

2155
01:52:28,439 --> 01:52:31,880
Speaker 11: actually talking. Most likely it's the Chiefs. I mean, because yeah,

2156
01:52:31,960 --> 01:52:36,040
Speaker 11: they if you go back to that emotional loss they

2157
01:52:36,040 --> 01:52:38,599
Speaker 11: had against the Bills, I think the Chiefs want this

2158
01:52:38,960 --> 01:52:41,519
Speaker 11: like more than they've wanted any other game so far

2159
01:52:41,600 --> 01:52:43,960
Speaker 11: this year, and they're gonna come out swinging for it.

2160
01:52:44,840 --> 01:52:46,479
Speaker 3: And I kind of feel the way about both teams.

2161
01:52:46,720 --> 01:52:49,360
Speaker 3: Shae your thoughts, who's more likely to win on the

2162
01:52:49,439 --> 01:52:50,160
Speaker 3: road Sunday.

2163
01:52:50,600 --> 01:52:52,720
Speaker 12: Yeah, I really have no faith in the Bucks. I mean,

2164
01:52:52,760 --> 01:52:55,120
Speaker 12: as much as I'd love to see Baker do it

2165
01:52:55,640 --> 01:52:57,760
Speaker 12: as a Browns fan, I just I've seen it so

2166
01:52:57,880 --> 01:53:01,200
Speaker 12: many times, and I've seen this exact situation where everyone's

2167
01:53:01,200 --> 01:53:03,200
Speaker 12: excited for him and then he goes and throws three

2168
01:53:03,240 --> 01:53:06,360
Speaker 12: picks and it's like, it's I've seen this so many

2169
01:53:06,400 --> 01:53:09,080
Speaker 12: times and it's and yeah, it's it's the Chiefs. I

2170
01:53:09,080 --> 01:53:11,240
Speaker 12: mean it's yeah, it's cold and Buffalo, but the Chiefs

2171
01:53:11,240 --> 01:53:13,760
Speaker 12: have gone through it. I mean it's cold and Narrowhead too,

2172
01:53:13,880 --> 01:53:17,080
Speaker 12: So it's it's this is something that has happened almost

2173
01:53:17,080 --> 01:53:19,160
Speaker 12: every year between the Bills and the Chiefs, and it's

2174
01:53:19,160 --> 01:53:21,960
Speaker 12: something that Pat Mahomes is used to and he's prevailed,

2175
01:53:21,960 --> 01:53:25,080
Speaker 12: and it's something that Baker Mayfield has never prevailed, so

2176
01:53:25,360 --> 01:53:26,679
Speaker 12: I definitely think it's the Chiefs.

2177
01:53:28,280 --> 01:53:31,000
Speaker 2: Fair Uh, Nick colep your thoughts.

2178
01:53:31,920 --> 01:53:34,160
Speaker 6: I'm gonna make a prediction I won't have to answer

2179
01:53:34,240 --> 01:53:36,639
Speaker 6: for because I won't be back with you next weekend.

2180
01:53:36,800 --> 01:53:41,240
Speaker 6: I'm gonna say both visiting teams tomorrow today, later today.

2181
01:53:41,880 --> 01:53:45,640
Speaker 6: I think you can throw on the Lions and I

2182
01:53:45,680 --> 01:53:48,840
Speaker 6: could see Baker, Mike Evans and company having a big

2183
01:53:48,920 --> 01:53:51,960
Speaker 6: day through the air and then Kansas City on the road.

2184
01:53:51,960 --> 01:53:54,080
Speaker 6: They don't care. I mean that crowd's going to be

2185
01:53:54,080 --> 01:53:58,519
Speaker 6: great in both places. I could in Casey going in there,

2186
01:53:58,520 --> 01:54:01,519
Speaker 6: and you know, can continuing to have their spell in

2187
01:54:01,560 --> 01:54:03,880
Speaker 6: the playoffs over the Bills. I say both of them

2188
01:54:03,920 --> 01:54:04,559
Speaker 6: win tomorrow.

2189
01:54:06,160 --> 01:54:08,400
Speaker 2: Mark Ramsey, you got the last word.

2190
01:54:09,120 --> 01:54:12,080
Speaker 13: I can see Baker Mayfield, you know, with all the

2191
01:54:12,160 --> 01:54:16,479
Speaker 13: spotlight and all the pressure, he might come through and

2192
01:54:16,640 --> 01:54:20,200
Speaker 13: make himself stand alone in the spotlight.

2193
01:54:21,880 --> 01:54:24,360
Speaker 3: You know, I'm gonna I gotta tell you. You may

2194
01:54:24,439 --> 01:54:28,000
Speaker 3: have me drug tested here. I got this. I really

2195
01:54:28,040 --> 01:54:33,560
Speaker 3: just got this feeling that the Buccaneers are gonna win. Okay,

2196
01:54:33,600 --> 01:54:35,640
Speaker 3: put a gun to my head. I gotta answer to that.

2197
01:54:35,720 --> 01:54:38,680
Speaker 3: Why Because it's gonna be a hostile setting in Detroit.

2198
01:54:39,560 --> 01:54:44,360
Speaker 3: But Todd Bowles has faced Jared Goff before four years

2199
01:54:44,400 --> 01:54:46,920
Speaker 3: ago when Golf was with the Rams, Bulls with the

2200
01:54:46,960 --> 01:54:53,840
Speaker 3: Bucks defensive coordinator, and Bulls beat him. Here's the thing.

2201
01:54:54,000 --> 01:54:58,760
Speaker 3: One thing to watch. The Buccaneers defense blitzes on forty

2202
01:54:58,760 --> 01:55:02,680
Speaker 3: five dropbacks opposing quarterbacks. That's the second highest rate in

2203
01:55:02,680 --> 01:55:05,360
Speaker 3: the National Football League. If they dial that up against Goff,

2204
01:55:05,800 --> 01:55:08,840
Speaker 3: who has seven turnovers when blitz this season, this game

2205
01:55:08,880 --> 01:55:11,640
Speaker 3: can turn just like it turned in San Francisco when

2206
01:55:11,640 --> 01:55:15,480
Speaker 3: Deebo Samuel went down. San Francisco was talented enough to prevail,

2207
01:55:15,800 --> 01:55:18,800
Speaker 3: but they've been there before. The lines are on uncharted water.

2208
01:55:19,400 --> 01:55:22,360
Speaker 3: Speaking of uncharted water, Mark Davis hires a great coach,

2209
01:55:22,920 --> 01:55:25,000
Speaker 3: one no one would have seen coming months ago, but

2210
01:55:25,040 --> 01:55:26,800
Speaker 3: it was obviously the right choice.

2211
01:55:27,000 --> 01:55:29,240
Speaker 2: We'll talk about that coming up. I'm Bernie Fraddle.

2212
01:55:29,280 --> 01:55:31,160
Speaker 3: Would come to you live from the Las Vegas Fox

01:55:34,240 --> 01:55:38,280
Speaker 3: to the Bernie Fraddle Show on Fox Sports Radio. All right,

2215
01:55:38,320 --> 01:55:40,720
Speaker 3: back on the Bernie Fraddle Show, Fox Sports Radio. Come

2216
01:55:40,760 --> 01:55:42,720
Speaker 3: you live from the tarreq dot com studios here in

2217
01:55:42,760 --> 01:55:46,000
Speaker 3: Las Vegas. Coming out top of the hour nine minutes

2218
01:55:46,000 --> 01:55:48,640
Speaker 3: away did dance sensation sweep of the nation. What kind

2219
01:55:48,640 --> 01:55:53,560
Speaker 3: of brand new fool are you followed by what my name? Well,

2220
01:55:53,640 --> 01:55:56,760
Speaker 3: if you have followed the Raiders travails over the last

2221
01:55:56,760 --> 01:55:59,600
Speaker 3: four years, it's been very turbulent since moving to Vegas,

2222
01:56:00,960 --> 01:56:03,760
Speaker 3: Mark Davis went big name hunting and brought in John Gruden.

2223
01:56:04,280 --> 01:56:09,120
Speaker 3: You saw how that ended very unceremoniously mid season two

2224
01:56:09,200 --> 01:56:13,720
Speaker 3: years ago in a Rich Pasacia, who was the special

2225
01:56:13,760 --> 01:56:17,040
Speaker 3: teams coach, and he righted the ship with the Raiders.

2226
01:56:17,080 --> 01:56:19,800
Speaker 3: It was also the same season the terrible Henry Rugg's

2227
01:56:19,840 --> 01:56:25,280
Speaker 3: tragedy with the Young Lady. Things were stacking up, but

2228
01:56:25,520 --> 01:56:29,120
Speaker 3: somehow they won their last four games and the Raiders

2229
01:56:29,120 --> 01:56:31,480
Speaker 3: got to the playoffs and lost to Cincinnati because Derek

2230
01:56:31,480 --> 01:56:35,240
Speaker 3: Carr went Derek Carring. Well, Mark Davis didn't hire Rich Pasacia.

2231
01:56:35,320 --> 01:56:37,840
Speaker 3: He ended up going with another what he thought was

2232
01:56:37,880 --> 01:56:40,400
Speaker 3: big name, and Josh mcdamils will always wonder what happened. Well,

2233
01:56:40,400 --> 01:56:42,120
Speaker 3: they're not going to make the same mistake this time.

2234
01:56:42,920 --> 01:56:45,720
Speaker 3: They never did reach out to Jim Harbaugh. What they

2235
01:56:45,720 --> 01:56:47,640
Speaker 3: did was they went with a guy who's already won

2236
01:56:47,680 --> 01:56:51,160
Speaker 3: the locker room, Antonio Pierce. If you look at the

2237
01:56:51,240 --> 01:56:55,320
Speaker 3: Raiders season, it was divided into two parts. Josh McDaniels

2238
01:56:55,840 --> 01:56:58,240
Speaker 3: was as big a buss as I've ever seen, and

2239
01:56:58,280 --> 01:57:01,120
Speaker 3: trust me, I covered ten Lions teams. They started out

2240
01:57:01,120 --> 01:57:03,840
Speaker 3: three and five this year. He had a blank face.

2241
01:57:03,960 --> 01:57:08,240
Speaker 3: This team looked moribund. Then he got fired. Antonio Piers

2242
01:57:08,320 --> 01:57:10,240
Speaker 3: takes over. They were five and four down the stretch.

2243
01:57:10,560 --> 01:57:12,760
Speaker 3: They beat a very good Kansas City team in Kansas

2244
01:57:12,800 --> 01:57:16,120
Speaker 3: City on Christmas Day, and they finish up by beating

2245
01:57:16,440 --> 01:57:20,880
Speaker 3: Denver on the final game of the season, which was

2246
01:57:20,920 --> 01:57:23,400
Speaker 3: somewhat of a referendum as it were, as to whether

2247
01:57:23,480 --> 01:57:29,040
Speaker 3: or not Josh mc or as to what kind of

2248
01:57:29,080 --> 01:57:35,080
Speaker 3: sort of you know, acid test. That's the word I'm

2249
01:57:35,120 --> 01:57:35,480
Speaker 3: looking for.

2250
01:57:35,520 --> 01:57:36,080
Speaker 2: Okay, we have.

2251
01:57:36,080 --> 01:57:39,840
Speaker 3: One game here. If they win this thing, the Raiders

2252
01:57:39,920 --> 01:57:42,520
Speaker 3: win this thing, that kind of puts an exclamation point

2253
01:57:42,560 --> 01:57:44,280
Speaker 3: because you have Max Croffee saying he might want to

2254
01:57:44,280 --> 01:57:47,680
Speaker 3: be traded if he's if Antonio Peers isn't hired, and

2255
01:57:47,960 --> 01:57:50,720
Speaker 3: you got Devanti Adams speaking out, So where am I

2256
01:57:50,760 --> 01:57:55,400
Speaker 3: going with this? Clearly, in nine games, Antonio Piers had

2257
01:57:55,400 --> 01:57:58,560
Speaker 3: a phenomenal, you know, impact on the team. They played

2258
01:57:58,600 --> 01:58:00,600
Speaker 3: with more intensity. They were more so, they were more

2259
01:58:00,680 --> 01:58:03,520
Speaker 3: simon sound and it lasted all nine weeks. Wasn't just

2260
01:58:03,560 --> 01:58:07,720
Speaker 3: something that faded after two weeks. So great job. I'm

2261
01:58:07,720 --> 01:58:10,520
Speaker 3: glad to see that Antonio Pierce got the job. He's popular,

2262
01:58:10,600 --> 01:58:13,920
Speaker 3: he's likable, He's been successful in other roles. Let's see

2263
01:58:13,920 --> 01:58:15,600
Speaker 3: what the Antonio Pierce Eric can do.

2264
01:58:15,680 --> 01:58:16,280
Speaker 2: By the way, one of the.

2265
01:58:16,280 --> 01:58:18,440
Speaker 3: Greatest coaches in Raiders history started out as inner im

2266

01:58:50,960 --> 01:58:52,680
Speaker 3: we've come to that point in the show in that

2277
01:58:52,760 --> 01:58:55,400
Speaker 3: time of the week, you see, because we make these

2278
01:58:55,400 --> 01:58:59,600
Speaker 3: observations every day twenty four to seven. Around this great

2279
01:58:59,680 --> 01:59:02,400
Speaker 3: land of ours, and frankly, around the group, around the globe,

2280
01:59:03,400 --> 01:59:04,320
Speaker 3: people do things.

2281
01:59:04,320 --> 01:59:07,200
Speaker 2: They engage in behaviors which.

2282
01:59:07,240 --> 01:59:09,800
Speaker 3: Sometimes are just kind of silly and stupid, and some

2283
01:59:10,080 --> 01:59:14,120
Speaker 3: you know, somewhat innocuous, just bad judgment. Other times are

2284
01:59:14,160 --> 01:59:18,480
Speaker 3: far more serious, and oftentimes they break the law and

2285
01:59:18,480 --> 01:59:22,440
Speaker 3: they can land you in jail. But regardless of the behavior,

2286
01:59:22,520 --> 01:59:27,120
Speaker 3: regardless of the event, regardless of what took place, as

2287
01:59:27,160 --> 01:59:31,880
Speaker 3: we observe, we always it always leaves us scratching our

2288
01:59:31,920 --> 01:59:41,480
Speaker 3: heads and asking what kind of brand new fool you? So,

2289
01:59:41,960 --> 01:59:43,960
Speaker 3: what kind of brand new fool are you?

2290
01:59:44,640 --> 01:59:44,720
Speaker 5: So?

2291
01:59:44,840 --> 01:59:47,120
Speaker 3: This one, for me is way off the cuff. I

2292
01:59:47,240 --> 01:59:49,400
Speaker 3: just could not believe this story when I heard it,

2293
01:59:49,440 --> 01:59:52,600
Speaker 3: because it makes no sense whatsoever. Well, most of them

2294
01:59:52,600 --> 01:59:55,960
Speaker 3: don't make sense, but when you hear this one, okay,

2295
01:59:56,080 --> 01:59:59,040
Speaker 3: let me just dive right in. As most folks know,

2296
01:59:59,720 --> 02:00:02,600
Speaker 3: when you walk your dog, you do the right thing,

2297
02:00:02,680 --> 02:00:04,800
Speaker 3: and you know, you pick up and you carry a

2298
02:00:04,920 --> 02:00:07,800
Speaker 3: bag and when the dog does his business, you put

2299
02:00:07,800 --> 02:00:10,320
Speaker 3: it in the bag. When a lot of times, when

2300
02:00:10,360 --> 02:00:16,080
Speaker 3: folks walk their dogs in neighborhoods, it becomes routine. People

2301
02:00:16,120 --> 02:00:18,720
Speaker 3: live their lives and offen the same patterns. They perhaps

2302
02:00:19,200 --> 02:00:23,120
Speaker 3: walk their dogs the same time each day, and so

2303
02:00:23,160 --> 02:00:25,280
Speaker 3: they seem the same people over and over. Well, we

2304
02:00:25,400 --> 02:00:29,320
Speaker 3: take you to Florida. We take you to Podenas County, Florida,

2305
02:00:29,720 --> 02:00:32,680
Speaker 3: and we introduce you to young Kaylee Robertson, twenty eight

2306
02:00:32,760 --> 02:00:35,720
Speaker 3: years old. She likes to walk her dog every day

2307
02:00:35,920 --> 02:00:40,120
Speaker 3: and typically she sees a gentleman by the name of

2308
02:00:40,320 --> 02:00:45,400
Speaker 3: Daniel Powell who also walks his dog. Now, these folks

2309
02:00:45,400 --> 02:00:48,440
Speaker 3: both live in the same mobile home park. Kaylee is

2310
02:00:48,480 --> 02:00:52,640
Speaker 3: twenty eight years old, Daniel is seventy six years old.

2311
02:00:52,920 --> 02:00:56,800
Speaker 3: So this past week they were doing their deal walking

2312
02:00:56,840 --> 02:01:00,920
Speaker 3: their dogs. Both dogs did their business, and Kaylee happened

2313
02:01:01,000 --> 02:01:05,480
Speaker 3: upon Daniel and for some reason on this particular day.

2314
02:01:05,880 --> 02:01:10,400
Speaker 3: And the nice thing is, Daniel was always really polite,

2315
02:01:10,440 --> 02:01:13,040
Speaker 3: apparently always would speak to her while she walked her dog,

2316
02:01:13,080 --> 02:01:16,520
Speaker 3: always greeted her. But for whatever reason, on this particular day,

2317
02:01:17,160 --> 02:01:19,760
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna say Daniel ghosted her. Hell, he might

2318
02:01:19,800 --> 02:01:23,480
Speaker 3: not even know what that means, but for some reason he.

2319
02:01:23,360 --> 02:01:24,840
Speaker 2: Didn't say hi.

2320
02:01:26,280 --> 02:01:30,560
Speaker 3: Well, Kaylee's not having that man. She decided she would

2321
02:01:30,560 --> 02:01:33,640
Speaker 3: take matters into her own hands literally, So what did

2322
02:01:33,680 --> 02:01:37,120
Speaker 3: she do. According to the cops report, she took quote

2323
02:01:37,560 --> 02:01:43,080
Speaker 3: an unsecured bag of dog feces and smashed it into

2324
02:01:44,080 --> 02:01:48,800
Speaker 3: Daniel Powell's face, leaving feces smeared on his face and

2325
02:01:48,880 --> 02:01:52,959
Speaker 3: the bag on the ground. Cause you could say Daniels

2326
02:01:53,000 --> 02:01:55,680
Speaker 3: having kind of a crappy day, how about that one?

2327
02:01:55,720 --> 02:01:55,960
Speaker 2: Mark?

2328
02:01:56,360 --> 02:01:59,720
Speaker 3: All right? So apparently the investigation ensued in the dog

2329
02:01:59,760 --> 02:02:02,800
Speaker 3: wait bag match those in the defendant's possession, and she,

2330
02:02:02,920 --> 02:02:06,760
Speaker 3: of course ultimately admitted to the battery. According to Panella's

2331
02:02:06,760 --> 02:02:09,960
Speaker 3: Park police officer. She was released from jail Monday after

2332
02:02:10,000 --> 02:02:14,120
Speaker 3: posting twenty five one hundred dollars and pleaded not guilty

2333
02:02:14,640 --> 02:02:18,680
Speaker 3: to a third degree felony. Are you Are you kidding me?

2334
02:02:21,480 --> 02:02:24,040
Speaker 3: He doesn't say hi, So she smashes dog poop into

2335
02:02:24,040 --> 02:02:26,440
Speaker 3: his face? All I got to say, let's just get

2336
02:02:26,480 --> 02:02:30,240
Speaker 3: the hell out of this one, Kaylie Robertson of Panella's County, Florida.

2337
02:02:30,560 --> 02:02:36,000
Speaker 2: What kind of brand new fool you? Oh boy?

2338
02:02:36,320 --> 02:02:39,760
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, let's bring in Ian Roddie, who's making

2339
02:02:39,800 --> 02:02:44,160
Speaker 3: his debut on what kind of brand new fool you?

2340
02:02:44,200 --> 02:02:44,920
Speaker 2: Ian? Take it away.

2341
02:02:44,960 --> 02:02:47,440
Speaker 3: I'm sure you'll have something very entertaining for US.

2342
02:02:47,520 --> 02:02:47,920
Speaker 6: I hope.

2343
02:02:47,960 --> 02:02:52,200
Speaker 11: So, so there were four people in Washington, d C.

2344
02:02:52,720 --> 02:02:55,880
Speaker 11: And they decided that they were short on cash and

2345
02:02:55,920 --> 02:03:02,240
Speaker 11: that they would rob a Bloomingdale's and specifically they tried

2346
02:03:02,240 --> 02:03:04,600
Speaker 11: to steal forty five Well, they did steal forty five

2347
02:03:04,680 --> 02:03:09,480
Speaker 11: hundred dollars worth of designer handbags from this Washington, d C.

2348
02:03:09,600 --> 02:03:14,760
Speaker 11: Blooming Bloomingdale's. And they actually executed it pretty well. Had

2349
02:03:14,760 --> 02:03:17,360
Speaker 11: it all thought out, and they would have gotten away,

2350
02:03:18,040 --> 02:03:21,640
Speaker 11: had a getaway vehicle and all that, but they drove

2351
02:03:21,800 --> 02:03:25,400
Speaker 11: onto the interstate, onto the highway and got stuck in

2352
02:03:25,560 --> 02:03:30,440
Speaker 11: bumper to bumper traffic. Now someone you know, I live

2353
02:03:30,480 --> 02:03:32,880
Speaker 11: in Los Angeles, so I'm someone who can very much

2354
02:03:32,920 --> 02:03:36,160
Speaker 11: relate to this. They got stuck in bumper to bumper

2355
02:03:36,200 --> 02:03:40,360
Speaker 11: traffic and it was standstill, and the cops were able

2356
02:03:40,400 --> 02:03:43,000
Speaker 11: to comb through all the cars and finally locate the

2357
02:03:43,040 --> 02:03:48,959
Speaker 11: four perps who are now facing charges. So, Bloomingdale Handbag bandits,

2358
02:03:49,080 --> 02:03:50,960
Speaker 11: what kind of brand new fools are you?

2359
02:03:51,360 --> 02:03:53,040
Speaker 2: Nicely done? Nicely done?

2360
02:03:53,040 --> 02:03:55,920
Speaker 3: And of course we had something similar to where a

2361
02:03:55,960 --> 02:03:59,240
Speaker 3: couple of guys committed a robbery and they were hungry,

2362
02:03:59,240 --> 02:04:01,760
Speaker 3: so they they stop off at I Hop a week

2363
02:04:01,880 --> 02:04:04,480
Speaker 3: a block away and they end up getting caught because

2364
02:04:04,480 --> 02:04:06,080
Speaker 3: he you know, why are they were eating their pancakes?

2365
02:04:06,080 --> 02:04:09,000
Speaker 3: All right, good, good, good stuff. Yan. All right, nicolepe

2366
02:04:09,000 --> 02:04:11,480
Speaker 3: you've done you veteran at this game does before? What

2367
02:04:11,520 --> 02:04:12,440
Speaker 3: have you got for us tonight?

2368
02:04:12,520 --> 02:04:15,240
Speaker 6: I'm still wondering why the guy didn't say hi to

2369
02:04:15,320 --> 02:04:19,280
Speaker 6: the girl in your story? Why why not just say hi?

2370
02:04:20,520 --> 02:04:23,440
Speaker 6: It's a mystery. It's so much a mystery to me

2371
02:04:23,480 --> 02:04:26,000
Speaker 6: as to why she decided to retaliate in the manner

2372
02:04:26,000 --> 02:04:26,720
Speaker 6: at least she's.

2373
02:04:26,600 --> 02:04:28,760
Speaker 2: Not bitter about it. That's gonna get She took.

2374
02:04:28,560 --> 02:04:31,600
Speaker 6: It, you know, yeah, trying to give him pink eye.

2375
02:04:32,640 --> 02:04:33,360
Speaker 2: A little more than that.

2376
02:04:33,800 --> 02:04:38,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, all right, Bernie. So remember last summer, unfortunately, there

2377
02:04:38,200 --> 02:04:42,080
Speaker 6: are all those fires in Canada that were then coming

2378
02:04:42,160 --> 02:04:45,880
Speaker 6: down to the northeast as well. The vast majority of

2379
02:04:45,920 --> 02:04:51,120
Speaker 6: those were started naturally via lightning strikes. So we're gonna

2380
02:04:51,120 --> 02:04:53,760
Speaker 6: go to Quebec here and we're gonna meet thirty eight

2381
02:04:53,840 --> 02:04:57,600
Speaker 6: year old Brian Peay. And last June, right around the

2382
02:04:57,600 --> 02:05:00,960
Speaker 6: time of all these fires in the out of Chappe.

2383
02:05:02,360 --> 02:05:04,400
Speaker 6: You know, this is right around the time the Quebec

2384
02:05:04,480 --> 02:05:07,400
Speaker 6: government they banned open fires in and around the forest

2385
02:05:07,480 --> 02:05:11,000
Speaker 6: because of those dry conditions, and a series of fires

2386
02:05:11,080 --> 02:05:13,520
Speaker 6: were ignited over a period of two days. But as

2387
02:05:13,560 --> 02:05:17,720
Speaker 6: officials investigated, you know, they determined these were not started

2388
02:05:18,120 --> 02:05:22,200
Speaker 6: by natural causes, so that had their intentas up and

2389
02:05:22,320 --> 02:05:26,280
Speaker 6: police saw mister Peat in the area around the fires

2390
02:05:26,320 --> 02:05:29,000
Speaker 6: a day or so after they had been ignited. They

2391
02:05:29,040 --> 02:05:32,760
Speaker 6: interviewed him as a witness. Though he denied starting the fires,

2392
02:05:32,880 --> 02:05:35,800
Speaker 6: he showed an interest in fires in general, and so

2393
02:05:35,880 --> 02:05:39,920
Speaker 6: that put him on authorities radar, and police began looking

2394
02:05:39,960 --> 02:05:43,120
Speaker 6: into him a little bit. They found his Facebook page,

2395
02:05:43,160 --> 02:05:46,400
Speaker 6: where he posted a lot about the fires and a

2396
02:05:46,440 --> 02:05:49,000
Speaker 6: bit of a conspiracy theorist. He claimed that they had

2397
02:05:49,040 --> 02:05:52,720
Speaker 6: been started by the government to trick people into believing

2398
02:05:53,200 --> 02:05:57,440
Speaker 6: in climate change. So, given Pere's interest in the fires

2399
02:05:57,440 --> 02:06:00,640
Speaker 6: and his online behavior, police obtained a war to install

2400
02:06:00,680 --> 02:06:03,960
Speaker 6: a tracking device on his vehicle, which showed he was

2401
02:06:04,000 --> 02:06:08,440
Speaker 6: at locations where other fires had been started. So he

2402
02:06:08,600 --> 02:06:12,160
Speaker 6: was subsequently arrested and when questioned, he admitted to starting them.

2403
02:06:12,400 --> 02:06:14,920
Speaker 6: He said his motivation was that he wanted to do

2404
02:06:15,040 --> 02:06:18,600
Speaker 6: some tests to see if the forest was really dry

2405
02:06:18,960 --> 02:06:22,760
Speaker 6: or not, see if the government was telling the truth.

2406
02:06:22,920 --> 02:06:26,080
Speaker 6: So he has since pleaded guilty to thirteen counts of

2407
02:06:26,280 --> 02:06:30,560
Speaker 6: arson and an additional count of arson with disregard for

2408
02:06:30,720 --> 02:06:34,880
Speaker 6: human life. So, answering the question, Bernie Brian started the

2409
02:06:34,920 --> 02:06:38,400
Speaker 6: fire and Brian pere, what kind of brand new fool

2410
02:06:38,400 --> 02:06:38,640
Speaker 6: are you?

2411
02:06:40,440 --> 02:06:43,000
Speaker 2: Was your alcohol involved? Is he not aware? Like if

2412
02:06:43,040 --> 02:06:45,760
Speaker 2: you light a dry forest, it's not going in well

2413
02:06:45,840 --> 02:06:46,120
Speaker 2: for you.

2414
02:06:47,200 --> 02:06:50,640
Speaker 6: I don't think there was alcohol involved, not according to

2415
02:06:50,680 --> 02:06:55,080
Speaker 6: the reports, although I did see that the court was

2416
02:06:55,200 --> 02:06:59,040
Speaker 6: curious to get a sort of mental evaluation here for

2417
02:06:59,240 --> 02:07:03,080
Speaker 6: mister Brian Peray, so that may come into sentencing here,

2418
02:07:03,120 --> 02:07:03,640
Speaker 6: we'll see.

2419
02:07:04,160 --> 02:07:08,560
Speaker 3: Seems seems like that certainly would be appropriate. Okay, well

2420
02:07:09,080 --> 02:07:13,160
Speaker 3: that well, another rousing edition of what kind of brand

2421
02:07:13,160 --> 02:07:15,800
Speaker 3: new fool of You is now in the books, which

2422
02:07:15,880 --> 02:07:19,800
Speaker 3: allows us to segue into our second favorite bit, which

2423
02:07:19,840 --> 02:07:26,040
Speaker 3: we lovingly refer to as what my Name? All Right,

2424
02:07:26,120 --> 02:07:30,560
Speaker 3: we'll have all four participants on this one. So this one,

2425
02:07:30,960 --> 02:07:32,800
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what. We're gonna start with a real

2426
02:07:32,880 --> 02:07:36,880
Speaker 3: softball here. I'm the youngest quarterback in National Football League

2427
02:07:36,960 --> 02:07:40,920
Speaker 3: history to win a playoff game, Ian Roddy, what my name?

2428
02:07:42,760 --> 02:07:44,240
Speaker 6: Who is C? J? Stroud?

2429
02:07:44,640 --> 02:07:48,160
Speaker 3: Bam right out of the gate and of course, nicely done,

2430
02:07:48,200 --> 02:07:50,720
Speaker 3: and of course taking a page from Patrick Sweaker's book

2431
02:07:51,320 --> 02:07:54,160
Speaker 3: phrasing your answer in the form of a question like Jeopardy.

2432
02:07:54,880 --> 02:07:56,920
Speaker 3: Somewhere Alex Trebek is smiling.

2433
02:07:57,120 --> 02:08:01,000
Speaker 6: I thought I was supposed to you can you live

2434
02:08:01,120 --> 02:08:01,880
Speaker 6: like you want to live?

2435
02:08:01,920 --> 02:08:02,240
Speaker 2: Baby?

2436
02:08:04,640 --> 02:08:04,960
Speaker 6: Serious?

2437
02:08:05,080 --> 02:08:06,320
Speaker 2: Here, we're all here to have fun.

2438
02:08:06,560 --> 02:08:09,360
Speaker 3: I I was only merely merely commenting on it.

2439
02:08:09,440 --> 02:08:12,040
Speaker 2: Okay, So c J.

2440
02:08:12,240 --> 02:08:16,520
Speaker 3: Stroud won a playoff game as a rookie quarterback last week,

2441
02:08:17,080 --> 02:08:20,720
Speaker 3: but actually I'm the last rookie quarterback to win a

2442
02:08:20,720 --> 02:08:21,520
Speaker 3: playoff game.

2443
02:08:22,240 --> 02:08:23,600
Speaker 2: Shaan Ogengar, what my name?

2444
02:08:26,160 --> 02:08:26,720
Speaker 6: Andrew Luck?

2445
02:08:27,840 --> 02:08:28,040
Speaker 2: Good?

2446
02:08:28,080 --> 02:08:30,440
Speaker 3: Guess now, Andrew Luck. He didn't win one his rookie year,

2447
02:08:32,040 --> 02:08:35,600
Speaker 3: But that's pretty good. C J. Stroud won a playoff

2448
02:08:35,600 --> 02:08:38,240
Speaker 3: game last week as a rookie quarterback starting quarterback in

2449
02:08:38,240 --> 02:08:40,960
Speaker 3: the NFL. But I'm the last rookie quarterback to win

2450
02:08:41,000 --> 02:08:43,000
Speaker 3: a playoff game in the National Football League.

2451
02:08:43,080 --> 02:08:46,040
Speaker 6: Nick Cope with my name, it's got to be brock

2452
02:08:46,120 --> 02:08:47,920
Speaker 6: Party right.

2453
02:08:49,400 --> 02:08:53,080
Speaker 2: Wait a minute, you you are correct, my friend.

2454
02:08:53,560 --> 02:08:54,960
Speaker 3: I would have screwed this up.

2455
02:08:56,680 --> 02:09:01,320
Speaker 2: I would have screwed this up. Okay, let's I'll tell

2456
02:09:01,320 --> 02:09:03,840
Speaker 2: you who was before. Let's make that the question.

2457
02:09:05,080 --> 02:09:08,640
Speaker 3: Rock party, because let's not waste the research, which I could.

2458
02:09:08,960 --> 02:09:10,440
Speaker 2: You know, I'm no idiot. I went to high school

2459
02:09:10,440 --> 02:09:11,879
Speaker 2: the full six years of no dropout.

2460
02:09:11,920 --> 02:09:14,400
Speaker 3: But I clearly I got a few holes in my game,

2461
02:09:14,440 --> 02:09:18,640
Speaker 3: which I just showed. All right, Rock Purty won a

2462
02:09:18,640 --> 02:09:21,400
Speaker 3: playoff game last year. CJ.

2463
02:09:21,560 --> 02:09:23,600
Speaker 2: Stroud won a playoff game this year as rookies. But

2464
02:09:23,680 --> 02:09:26,760
Speaker 2: before that, who was the last rookie to do it? Mark?

2465
02:09:27,240 --> 02:09:28,080
Speaker 2: Mark Ramsey?

2466
02:09:28,080 --> 02:09:28,600
Speaker 3: What my name?

2467
02:09:30,120 --> 02:09:33,360
Speaker 6: Can I just say? George Blanda, you're Dan?

2468
02:09:37,920 --> 02:09:38,400
Speaker 3: All right?

2469
02:09:40,000 --> 02:09:41,680
Speaker 2: Before Brock Purty and c J. Stroud?

2470
02:09:41,680 --> 02:09:44,480
Speaker 3: Who was the last rookie to win a playoff game? Uh,

2471
02:09:45,640 --> 02:09:47,840
Speaker 3: let's go with well, let's go with the interroty what

2472
02:09:47,840 --> 02:09:48,440
Speaker 3: what my name?

2473
02:09:49,800 --> 02:09:51,720
Speaker 6: It's got to be Mark Sanchez.

2474
02:09:52,960 --> 02:09:56,120
Speaker 3: One thousand percent?

2475
02:09:56,320 --> 02:09:58,000
Speaker 6: So my Jets pays off.

2476
02:09:59,400 --> 02:10:01,760
Speaker 3: Well that may I'll tell you what. That may be

2477
02:10:01,840 --> 02:10:07,920
Speaker 3: a segue into the next question. Because obviously, uh, Demico Ryans,

2478
02:10:08,560 --> 02:10:10,680
Speaker 3: you know, presided over the rookie quarterback and then of

2479
02:10:10,680 --> 02:10:12,839
Speaker 3: course Kyle Shanahan over the rookie quarterback.

2480
02:10:13,240 --> 02:10:17,560
Speaker 2: So was the who was the head coach to preside

2481
02:10:17,600 --> 02:10:18,240
Speaker 2: over Mark.

2482
02:10:18,120 --> 02:10:20,200
Speaker 3: Sanchez when he was winning his playoff game as a

2483
02:10:20,240 --> 02:10:22,640
Speaker 3: rookie quarterback? Say, Morgangar, what my name?

2484
02:10:25,200 --> 02:10:28,640
Speaker 6: Chuck Pagano, I'm null.

2485
02:10:27,520 --> 02:10:28,320
Speaker 2: It was not a bad guess.

2486
02:10:28,360 --> 02:10:32,680
Speaker 3: He was coaching about that same time with Indianapolis, all right,

2487
02:10:32,720 --> 02:10:35,480
Speaker 3: before Dimico Ryans and Kyle Shanahan. I'm the last head

2488
02:10:35,520 --> 02:10:39,000
Speaker 3: coach to coach my rookie quarterback to a playoff winning

2489
02:10:39,040 --> 02:10:39,600
Speaker 3: the playoffs?

2490
02:10:40,120 --> 02:10:41,200
Speaker 2: Nick Cope, what my name?

2491
02:10:42,120 --> 02:10:43,520
Speaker 6: Who is Rex Ryan?

2492
02:10:43,840 --> 02:10:51,880
Speaker 3: Rex? Ryan? Nicely done? Moving along as a quarterback during

2493
02:10:51,920 --> 02:10:55,680
Speaker 3: the NFL playoffs, I actually had a fifty six yard

2494
02:10:55,800 --> 02:10:59,160
Speaker 3: touchdown run, which still remains an NFL record.

2495
02:11:01,840 --> 02:11:03,520
Speaker 2: Mark Ramsey, what my name.

2496
02:11:04,640 --> 02:11:06,280
Speaker 6: Would it be? A Buffalo? Allen?

2497
02:11:10,200 --> 02:11:12,360
Speaker 3: It actually I think he had a fifty two yarder,

2498
02:11:12,560 --> 02:11:15,920
Speaker 3: but he's not the record. So that's a pretty good guests,

2499
02:11:15,920 --> 02:11:19,680
Speaker 3: all right. As a quarterback in the playoffs, I ran

2500
02:11:19,720 --> 02:11:22,360
Speaker 3: for a touchdown. A fifty six yard run in the

2501
02:11:22,440 --> 02:11:26,840

Speaker 2: It's not Tommy Lloyd. Believe it or not.

2601
02:16:35,920 --> 02:16:38,240
Speaker 3: It's a former assistant to Mark Feugh who's now been

2602
02:16:38,280 --> 02:16:41,480
Speaker 3: at Boise State for well over a decade. Leon Rice,

2603
02:16:42,200 --> 02:16:44,800
Speaker 3: it actually won like thirty nine games arow Boise State

2604
02:16:45,240 --> 02:16:47,080
Speaker 3: had won thirty nine, and I think they just might

2605
02:16:47,080 --> 02:16:49,160
Speaker 3: have got snapped too. I think you and L beat them,

2606
02:16:49,320 --> 02:16:50,160
Speaker 3: U and LV beat them.

2607
02:16:50,080 --> 02:16:50,520
Speaker 2: The other night.

2608
02:16:50,840 --> 02:16:54,560
Speaker 3: They kept flashing that all over the place. So all right, guys,

2609
02:16:54,680 --> 02:16:58,760
Speaker 3: great job on brand newfool. Great job on what my Name?

Speaker 3: Detroit Lions fans. I'm Bernie fraddlewic Keviedy live in Las Vegas,

2619
02:17:27,640 --> 02:17:30,360
Speaker 3: Fraddle Show, Fox Sports Radio Comedy Live from the Tarrac

2620
02:17:30,440 --> 02:17:34,680
Speaker 3: dot Com Studios here in Las Vegas. You don't think

2621
02:17:34,680 --> 02:17:37,720
Speaker 3: it's gonna be rocking and rolling in ford Field here

2622
02:17:37,760 --> 02:17:40,400
Speaker 3: in about ten hours and nine and a half hours. Well,

2623
02:17:41,240 --> 02:17:44,440
Speaker 3: fans hopefully to get their money's worth. You know, last

2624
02:17:44,480 --> 02:17:47,879
Speaker 3: year when the Cowboys played the forty nine Ers on

2625
02:17:47,920 --> 02:17:51,240
Speaker 3: that Sunday night game, another one of the Mike McCarthy debacles,

2626
02:17:51,920 --> 02:17:55,360
Speaker 3: Dak Prescott debacles. They set a record for the highest

2627
02:17:55,440 --> 02:17:58,080
Speaker 3: average ticket price that day, six hundred and five dollars

2628
02:17:58,080 --> 02:18:02,000
Speaker 3: a ticket that was the average to get Levi Stadium.

2629
02:18:02,440 --> 02:18:03,640
Speaker 2: They blew right through.

2630
02:18:03,480 --> 02:18:08,279
Speaker 3: That Ford Field later today Sunday, the average ticket price

2631
02:18:08,840 --> 02:18:12,080
Speaker 3: for the Sunday game between Tampa Bay and Detroit eleven

2632
02:18:12,200 --> 02:18:16,320
Speaker 3: hundred and eighty six dollars, and winning comes with a

2633
02:18:16,320 --> 02:18:20,359
Speaker 3: hefty dose of inflation. In Detroit, because the Lions recently

2634
02:18:20,560 --> 02:18:23,119
Speaker 3: notified their season ticket holders at the twenty twenty four

2635
02:18:23,200 --> 02:18:27,440
Speaker 3: pricing will come with an average thirty percent increase in

2636
02:18:27,480 --> 02:18:31,160
Speaker 3: tickets and as much as an eighty five percent bump

2637
02:18:31,680 --> 02:18:36,560
Speaker 3: on certain Ford Field seats. Now the Lions, well, they

2638
02:18:36,600 --> 02:18:38,760
Speaker 3: were twelve and five and now they've won a playoff

2639
02:18:38,800 --> 02:18:41,360
Speaker 3: game for the first time since January fifth, nineteen ninety two,

2640
02:18:41,959 --> 02:18:44,920
Speaker 3: won their first division title since nineteen ninety three, their

2641
02:18:44,920 --> 02:18:48,240
Speaker 3: first playoff berth since twenty sixteen. You get the picture.

2642
02:18:49,200 --> 02:18:53,520
Speaker 3: This is what happens teams across the landscape. They imposed

2643
02:18:53,520 --> 02:18:59,760
Speaker 3: ticket increases price increases following winning seasons, but the Dynamics

2644
02:18:59,840 --> 02:19:02,960
Speaker 3: and Detroit are a little more stark. And to be fair,

2645
02:19:03,520 --> 02:19:06,440
Speaker 3: the Lions have kept their prices essentially the flat for

2646
02:19:06,480 --> 02:19:10,039
Speaker 3: the last six years, and they do have supplying demand factors.

2647
02:19:10,040 --> 02:19:12,080
Speaker 3: Detroit's the greatest sports town in America. I don't care

2648
02:19:12,120 --> 02:19:16,520
Speaker 3: what anybody says. Sixty five thousand seat Ford Field, it's unique.

2649
02:19:16,680 --> 02:19:20,640
Speaker 3: It's got a fairly small seating capacity. It's always sold out.

2650
02:19:20,720 --> 02:19:23,520
Speaker 3: They're averaging almost sixty six thousand this year. It's one

2651
02:19:23,600 --> 02:19:26,320
Speaker 3: hundred and one percent. You get the picture when you

2652
02:19:26,360 --> 02:19:29,000
Speaker 3: look at where they rank the supply and demand. The

2653
02:19:29,040 --> 02:19:33,560
Speaker 3: Lions are winning. Great sports town, that's what happens. But

2654
02:19:34,520 --> 02:19:36,840
Speaker 3: that's still not as bad as eleven hundred and eighty

2655
02:19:36,879 --> 02:19:39,600
Speaker 3: six for the game on Sunday. Can you imagine if

2656
02:19:39,640 --> 02:19:42,640
Speaker 3: the Niners had gotten beat and the Lions would perhaps

2657
02:19:42,720 --> 02:19:45,760
Speaker 3: have hosted the NFC championship game. Well, I guess that's

2658
02:19:45,760 --> 02:19:48,120
Speaker 3: his story for a different day. Coming up, we do

2659
02:19:48,200 --> 02:19:50,520
Speaker 3: have Chris Perffett's World of Soccer, but first let's go

2660
02:19:50,560 --> 02:19:53,160
Speaker 3: back to our guy, Nick Hope with the latest.

2661
02:19:53,440 --> 02:19:55,720
Speaker 6: All right, thank you, Bernie very much. The first two

2662
02:19:55,800 --> 02:20:00,640
Speaker 6: spots for conference championships Sunday have been booked. First, on Saturday,

2663
02:20:00,959 --> 02:20:03,640
Speaker 6: it was the Ravens running away from the Texans in

2664
02:20:03,680 --> 02:20:06,120
Speaker 6: the second half for a thirty four to ten win,

2665
02:20:06,440 --> 02:20:10,800
Speaker 6: and Lamar Jackson was outstanding four total touchdowns, two passing,

2666
02:20:10,840 --> 02:20:13,760
Speaker 6: two rushing. That Baltimore defense held Houston to just two

2667
02:20:13,840 --> 02:20:16,840
Speaker 6: hundred and thirteen total yards, and the Ravens will host

2668
02:20:16,920 --> 02:20:19,959
Speaker 6: an AFC Championship game for the first time in the

2669
02:20:20,000 --> 02:20:22,760
Speaker 6: twenty eight year history of the franchise. Here's the coach,

2670
02:20:22,840 --> 02:20:26,320
Speaker 6: John Harbaugh on the adjustments in the second half.

2671
02:20:26,400 --> 02:20:28,160
Speaker 7: Reggie and we're mad. You know, we got a lot

2672
02:20:28,200 --> 02:20:29,640
Speaker 7: to prove. And I felt that was kind of the

2673
02:20:29,640 --> 02:20:31,640
Speaker 7: feeling in the locker room with the game, and everybody

2674
02:20:31,720 --> 02:20:33,000
Speaker 7: just kind of just took a deep breath and said,

2675
02:20:33,000 --> 02:20:35,560
Speaker 7: all right, you know, it's zero to zero. Gave up

2676
02:20:35,560 --> 02:20:38,640
Speaker 7: a big pump return, and it's our game to go win.

2677
02:20:38,640 --> 02:20:39,400
Speaker 7: We gotta go take it.

2678
02:20:39,879 --> 02:20:42,160
Speaker 6: And then later on Saturday, it was the forty nine

2679
02:20:42,280 --> 02:20:46,240
Speaker 6: Ers overcoming a fourth quarter touchdown deficit, beating the Packers

2680
02:20:46,280 --> 02:20:49,400
Speaker 6: twenty four to twenty one. Christian McCaffrey with two touchdowns,

2681
02:20:49,760 --> 02:20:52,240
Speaker 6: including the go ahead score with a minute to play,

2682
02:20:52,520 --> 02:20:55,560
Speaker 6: brought perty two hundred and fifty two yards and a touchdown.

2683
02:20:55,840 --> 02:20:59,560
Speaker 6: Forty nine Ers receiver Deebo Samuel left with a shoulder injury.

2684
02:20:59,600 --> 02:21:02,680
Speaker 6: He did out return. Source told ESPN that they believe

2685
02:21:02,760 --> 02:21:05,520
Speaker 6: Samuel has a chance to play next week. Packers have

2686
02:21:05,560 --> 02:21:08,360
Speaker 6: now lost five straight playoff games. Of the forty nine

2687
02:21:08,480 --> 02:21:12,720
Speaker 6: ers who were previously ohen thirty under Kyle Shanahan win

2688
02:21:12,840 --> 02:21:15,880
Speaker 6: trailing by five or more points entering the fourth quarter.

2689
02:21:16,200 --> 02:21:18,400
Speaker 6: Here is Shanahan on what it took to get it done.

2690
02:21:18,680 --> 02:21:19,760
Speaker 3: Very proud of the guys in there.

2691
02:21:19,800 --> 02:21:22,480
Speaker 9: I thought that was as big of a mental challenge

2692
02:21:22,520 --> 02:21:24,640
Speaker 9: and just a character game as any game have been

2693
02:21:24,640 --> 02:21:26,720
Speaker 9: a part of. I know, when things aren't going, how

2694
02:21:26,760 --> 02:21:29,640
Speaker 9: you won on offense, defense, special teams, you know, the

2695
02:21:29,720 --> 02:21:33,400
Speaker 9: rain guys slipping a lot, you know, losing deboarly going

2696
02:21:33,400 --> 02:21:35,160
Speaker 9: to be more proud of the people in there and

2697
02:21:36,360 --> 02:21:38,120
Speaker 9: how they persevere.

2698
02:21:37,640 --> 02:21:40,360
Speaker 6: In the NBA. A big fourth quarter pushed the Thunder

2699
02:21:40,400 --> 02:21:43,280
Speaker 6: past the Timberwolves one O two to ninety seven, two

2700
02:21:43,280 --> 02:21:46,160
Speaker 6: of the top teams in the Western Conference. Shay Gilgis

2701
02:21:46,280 --> 02:21:50,440
Speaker 6: Alexander had thirty three for OKC. Nick Screws passed. The

2702
02:21:50,520 --> 02:21:53,760
Speaker 6: Raptors won twenty six to one hundred. Jalen Brunson had

2703
02:21:53,840 --> 02:21:57,320
Speaker 6: thirty eight. College basketball, Pitt won a Cameron indoor for

2704
02:21:57,320 --> 02:22:00,360
Speaker 6: the first time since nineteen seventy nine, beating Number seven

2705
02:22:00,480 --> 02:22:04,400
Speaker 6: Duke eighty to seventy six. Yukon, the number one team

2706
02:22:04,400 --> 02:22:07,520
Speaker 6: in the land. They survived a scare from Villanova, prevailing

2707
02:22:07,640 --> 02:22:11,279
Speaker 6: sixty six to sixty five and the NHL. The Islanders

2708
02:22:11,360 --> 02:22:14,720
Speaker 6: fired coach Lane Lambert and then they turned and hired

2709
02:22:14,760 --> 02:22:18,600
Speaker 6: Patrick Waugh. At the Australian O, Ben Novak Djokovic cruise

2710
02:22:18,640 --> 02:22:21,680
Speaker 6: into the quarterfinals. He reaches the final eight of a

2711
02:22:21,760 --> 02:22:24,240
Speaker 6: Slam for the fifty eighth time in his career, matching

2712
02:22:24,320 --> 02:22:28,560
Speaker 6: Roger Federer's record. Also had wins for defending women's champion

2713
02:22:28,640 --> 02:22:32,000
Speaker 6: Areta Sabolenka, as well as a couple of the top Americans,

2714
02:22:32,040 --> 02:22:36,240
Speaker 6: Coco Goff and Taylor Fritz. Bernie, back to you, all right.

2715
02:22:36,120 --> 02:22:39,080
Speaker 3: Good stuff, Nick, So this time every week on the

2716
02:22:39,120 --> 02:22:41,720
Speaker 3: Bernie Frider Show. As you know, well, they call it

2717
02:22:41,879 --> 02:22:43,920
Speaker 3: football around the world, we call it soccer in the

2718
02:22:44,000 --> 02:22:45,840
Speaker 3: United States. In the last couple of years, we've had

2719
02:22:45,879 --> 02:22:48,440
Speaker 3: the Men's World Cup and the Women's World Cup, and

2720
02:22:48,480 --> 02:22:50,959
Speaker 3: we've got the Paris Olympics coming up here in about

2721
02:22:51,040 --> 02:22:55,320
Speaker 3: six months. But irrespective, there's always news on and off

2722
02:22:55,360 --> 02:22:57,640
Speaker 3: the field in the world of soccer. That's why we

2723
02:22:57,680 --> 02:23:01,080
Speaker 3: bring you at this time every week. Chris Purhfett, World.

2724
02:23:00,800 --> 02:23:11,720
Speaker 4: Of soccer dang, the greatest goals, the thrilling finishes, the

2725
02:23:11,800 --> 02:23:20,680
Speaker 4: international drum. It's all here in this report from the

2726
02:23:20,720 --> 02:23:21,720
Speaker 4: world of soccer.

2727
02:23:21,800 --> 02:23:24,760
Speaker 14: One of the great coaches in Europe is out and

2728
02:23:24,879 --> 02:23:28,720
Speaker 14: the question is where will he go next. It's been

2729
02:23:28,760 --> 02:23:33,640
Speaker 14: a very disappointing season for the Italian club Roma. They

2730
02:23:33,680 --> 02:23:38,360
Speaker 14: currently hold the third highest wage bill in Italy, which means,

2731
02:23:38,560 --> 02:23:41,000
Speaker 14: you know, they spent a lot into their roster. They

2732
02:23:41,040 --> 02:23:44,800
Speaker 14: went and got Polo de Bala a while back, spending

2733
02:23:44,840 --> 02:23:47,560
Speaker 14: a lot of money, trying to really capitalize on what

2734
02:23:47,680 --> 02:23:52,600
Speaker 14: seemed like good momentum, and unfortunately, under a manager Jose Mourinho,

2735
02:23:52,680 --> 02:23:56,080
Speaker 14: the famous Portuguese manager, not much has really come to

2736
02:23:56,120 --> 02:23:56,600
Speaker 14: the club.

2737
02:23:56,720 --> 02:23:58,560
Speaker 6: Going into this weekend, they.

2738
02:23:58,400 --> 02:24:03,160
Speaker 14: Were about nine on the Siria table, which is abysmal,

2739
02:24:03,240 --> 02:24:06,240
Speaker 14: puts them completely out of contention really for much of

2740
02:24:06,280 --> 02:24:10,400
Speaker 14: anything in Europe. And this week we find Jose Mourinho

2741
02:24:10,560 --> 02:24:15,279
Speaker 14: himself sacked, relieved of his position as manager for Roma,

2742
02:24:15,800 --> 02:24:21,120
Speaker 14: and to replace him the Roma former player Daniel de Rossi. Now,

2743
02:24:21,440 --> 02:24:25,280
Speaker 14: Roma itself really isn't the story here. It's Jose Mourinho,

2744
02:24:25,360 --> 02:24:29,960
Speaker 14: because this now represents another very large failure for Jose Mourinho,

2745
02:24:30,120 --> 02:24:33,680
Speaker 14: and particularly this case, it seems like it was failure

2746
02:24:33,720 --> 02:24:36,640
Speaker 14: at a club that didn't have as high of a

2747
02:24:36,680 --> 02:24:41,640
Speaker 14: ceiling high of expectations, at least traditionally as someone say

2748
02:24:41,800 --> 02:24:45,600
Speaker 14: like a Tottenham or a Manchester United. Now Roma does

2749
02:24:45,640 --> 02:24:49,119
Speaker 14: have very big expectations, however, they are of course one

2750
02:24:49,160 --> 02:24:52,360
Speaker 14: of the clubs of Rome. However, traditionally they've not really

2751
02:24:52,400 --> 02:24:55,440
Speaker 14: been exactly the Titans of Italy, so it was thought

2752
02:24:55,480 --> 02:24:59,039
Speaker 14: that maybe Jose Mourinho and is more defensive oriented philosophy

2753
02:24:59,320 --> 02:25:03,199
Speaker 14: would work there. However it has not, and this represents

2754
02:25:03,240 --> 02:25:05,840
Speaker 14: another failure on the part of Jose Mourinho, who, in

2755
02:25:05,920 --> 02:25:08,520
Speaker 14: spite of a lot to be emulated and a lot

2756
02:25:08,600 --> 02:25:11,879
Speaker 14: to love about his managing style, guys love to play

2757
02:25:11,959 --> 02:25:16,560
Speaker 14: for him. He's seen as a wonderful manager of an organization,

2758
02:25:16,800 --> 02:25:20,560
Speaker 14: but I believe it is his on field philosophy of

2759
02:25:20,720 --> 02:25:24,640
Speaker 14: football that really holds him back. And yes, maybe going

2760
02:25:24,640 --> 02:25:27,560
Speaker 14: to Italy, which in the twenty first century has been

2761
02:25:27,640 --> 02:25:30,360
Speaker 14: known for a very defensive style of play, would have

2762
02:25:30,360 --> 02:25:32,680
Speaker 14: been a better fit, but I don't think that's true

2763
02:25:32,720 --> 02:25:36,560
Speaker 14: of Italy, and indeed you see across Europe now it

2764
02:25:36,640 --> 02:25:38,959
Speaker 14: is more about the pressing attack. It is a more

2765
02:25:38,959 --> 02:25:42,960
Speaker 14: about high flying offense. It isn't this possession, hold and

2766
02:25:44,280 --> 02:25:48,800
Speaker 14: win by defense style of soccer anymore. And Mourinho might

2767
02:25:49,200 --> 02:25:52,800
Speaker 14: very well with this big departure be out of Europe

2768
02:25:52,879 --> 02:25:56,240
Speaker 14: or at least on the club level. However, pose Mourinho

2769
02:25:56,280 --> 02:25:58,400
Speaker 14: could still be in for another big payday and back

2770
02:25:58,560 --> 02:26:01,800
Speaker 14: in the saddle before you know it, because who is

2771
02:26:01,879 --> 02:26:05,680
Speaker 14: coming knocking none other than the Saudis. Yes, the Saudi

2772
02:26:05,680 --> 02:26:08,879
Speaker 14: Pro League has reached out to Jose Mourinho and he

2773
02:26:09,040 --> 02:26:11,920
Speaker 14: very well could end up with the Saudi club Al Shabab.

2774
02:26:12,160 --> 02:26:14,720
Speaker 14: He's being courted by the club right now. It's another

2775
02:26:14,920 --> 02:26:17,240
Speaker 14: major statement for the Saudi Pro League to go after

2776
02:26:17,680 --> 02:26:21,000
Speaker 14: big time names big there's been big players like Kareem

2777
02:26:21,040 --> 02:26:25,360
Speaker 14: Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo. To get Mourinho to manage a

2778
02:26:25,360 --> 02:26:27,800
Speaker 14: club like Al Shabab would absolutely be another feather in

2779
02:26:27,800 --> 02:26:30,200
Speaker 14: their cap to show that they are indeed a big

2780
02:26:30,200 --> 02:26:32,360
Speaker 14: player on the big stage. And it's not the first

2781
02:26:32,360 --> 02:26:35,800
Speaker 14: time they've gone after him. Last summer when the Saudis

2782
02:26:35,800 --> 02:26:38,800
Speaker 14: started to really spend the money here and the Public

2783
02:26:38,840 --> 02:26:41,800
Speaker 14: Investment Fund launched in their massive spending spree of the

2784
02:26:41,840 --> 02:26:45,240
Speaker 14: transfer window they tried to bring Jose Mourinho into the

2785
02:26:45,240 --> 02:26:47,879
Speaker 14: Saudi Pro League while he was still with Roma.

2786
02:26:48,080 --> 02:26:49,280
Speaker 6: The manager did not want to.

2787
02:26:49,280 --> 02:26:49,920
Speaker 3: Leave at a time.

2788
02:26:50,200 --> 02:26:52,560
Speaker 14: Now out of a job, he could very well be

2789
02:26:52,640 --> 02:26:56,840
Speaker 14: heading to the Arab golf and now from questions around

2790
02:26:56,879 --> 02:27:02,040
Speaker 14: the Mediterranean, out to Germany where Giovanni Rena, one of

2791
02:27:02,120 --> 02:27:05,120
Speaker 14: the great up and coming young players for the US

2792
02:27:05,200 --> 02:27:08,520
Speaker 14: men's national team, is looking for a change of scenery,

2793
02:27:08,600 --> 02:27:09,160
Speaker 14: at least on.

2794
02:27:09,080 --> 02:27:10,000
Speaker 6: The club level.

2795
02:27:10,400 --> 02:27:12,880
Speaker 14: It reports out here as we are in the January

2796
02:27:12,879 --> 02:27:16,320
Speaker 14: transfer window that Rena wants out of his current club

2797
02:27:16,400 --> 02:27:18,680
Speaker 14: in the Bundesliga, Borussia Dortmund.

2798
02:27:18,800 --> 02:27:20,760
Speaker 6: And the reasons are very simple.

2799
02:27:21,160 --> 02:27:23,320
Speaker 14: You look at all his time and all the competitions

2800
02:27:23,360 --> 02:27:26,600
Speaker 14: across Dortmund and he has only played three hundred and

2801
02:27:26,800 --> 02:27:31,959
Speaker 14: twenty minutes this season. That's in all competitions, not just Bundesliga.

2802
02:27:32,360 --> 02:27:37,560
Speaker 14: It is an incredibly low amount of time. And you know,

2803
02:27:37,640 --> 02:27:42,120
Speaker 14: going into Saturday's friendly against Slovenia, Greg Berhalter, the manager

2804
02:27:42,280 --> 02:27:44,840
Speaker 14: of the US men's national team, back to Reina and

2805
02:27:44,879 --> 02:27:48,320
Speaker 14: said he is right to be seeking playing time. This

2806
02:27:48,360 --> 02:27:50,800
Speaker 14: is seeking more time on the field. It's the only

2807
02:27:50,840 --> 02:27:52,920
Speaker 14: way that a lot of American players are going to

2808
02:27:52,959 --> 02:27:55,400
Speaker 14: get that kind of development, And to be honest, this

2809
02:27:55,440 --> 02:27:57,440
Speaker 14: has always been the tricky part. When players go over

2810
02:27:57,520 --> 02:28:00,600
Speaker 14: to Europe rather than staying in say the less or

2811
02:28:00,640 --> 02:28:03,119
Speaker 14: over in America or in another league where they can

2812
02:28:03,200 --> 02:28:05,760
Speaker 14: get that playing time, you're always butting up against a

2813
02:28:05,800 --> 02:28:08,400
Speaker 14: lot of other players on those rosters, and Americans like

2814
02:28:08,480 --> 02:28:11,360
Speaker 14: Giovanni Raina need the time to play, but they also

2815
02:28:11,440 --> 02:28:13,520
Speaker 14: have to show that they're good enough to play on

2816
02:28:13,680 --> 02:28:17,960
Speaker 14: these club rosters. Also, Bernie, we finally have news that

2817
02:28:18,040 --> 02:28:21,760
Speaker 14: the twenty twenty six World Cup Final venue is set

2818
02:28:21,760 --> 02:28:26,040
Speaker 14: to be released here revealed on February fourth, was announced

2819
02:28:26,040 --> 02:28:29,400
Speaker 14: by FIFA here Thursday that that would be the particular date,

2820
02:28:29,760 --> 02:28:35,360
Speaker 14: and certain publications have reported that the potential candidates have

2821
02:28:35,400 --> 02:28:38,680
Speaker 14: been narrowed down to just two places in the United

2822
02:28:38,760 --> 02:28:43,120
Speaker 14: States at and T Stadium in Arlington, Texas and MetLife

2823
02:28:43,120 --> 02:28:48,039
Speaker 14: Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. So no Los Angeles

2824
02:28:48,879 --> 02:28:52,600
Speaker 14: Sofi Stadium in spite of everything, if you are to

2825
02:28:52,640 --> 02:28:57,720
Speaker 14: believe reports, which strikes me as very disappointing given the

2826
02:28:58,320 --> 02:28:59,800
Speaker 14: nature of Sofi Stadium.

2827
02:28:59,840 --> 02:29:00,600
Speaker 6: I've been there.

2828
02:29:00,640 --> 02:29:04,680
Speaker 14: I feel that it is world class, without question, I

2829
02:29:04,760 --> 02:29:08,200
Speaker 14: understand that at and T Stadium. Cowboys Stadium tends to

2830
02:29:08,200 --> 02:29:11,160
Speaker 14: get precedents in a lot of major events. It's kind

2831
02:29:11,160 --> 02:29:13,920
Speaker 14: of become the go to destination for a lot of

2832
02:29:13,959 --> 02:29:17,800
Speaker 14: places to pick their championship events. But I'm not thrilled

2833
02:29:17,800 --> 02:29:20,760
Speaker 14: about the idea of playing inside of a dome for

2834
02:29:20,879 --> 02:29:23,200
Speaker 14: one of the great the final and one of the

2835
02:29:23,240 --> 02:29:28,200
Speaker 14: greatest competitions the world has known, especially especially depending on

2836
02:29:28,200 --> 02:29:30,080
Speaker 14: what the surface would be. I hope they've got some

2837
02:29:30,120 --> 02:29:32,560
Speaker 14: sort of national surface to bring in there, because I'm

2838
02:29:32,600 --> 02:29:35,560
Speaker 14: not really feeling it right now. I know Cowboys Stadium

2839
02:29:35,560 --> 02:29:37,760
Speaker 14: gets all the love. I know Jerry Jones, this is

2840
02:29:37,800 --> 02:29:41,359
Speaker 14: his mo I'm not feeling it. I've met Life Stadium

2841
02:29:41,400 --> 02:29:43,760
Speaker 14: in the meadow lends that could be kind of interesting,

2842
02:29:43,920 --> 02:29:46,920
Speaker 14: But I'm not really big up on New York myself.

2843
02:29:46,959 --> 02:29:49,520
Speaker 14: I really feel like, hopefully that we can see a

2844
02:29:49,560 --> 02:29:53,000
Speaker 14: twist and LA gets it. But something tells me that

2845
02:29:53,680 --> 02:29:56,480
Speaker 14: last man's standing. My BET's probably going to be that

2846
02:29:56,520 --> 02:29:59,600
Speaker 14: it's going to be Cowboys Stadium at and T Stadium

2847
02:30:00,080 --> 02:30:04,040
Speaker 14: in Texas, and that's where everything is going to be set.

2848
02:30:04,200 --> 02:30:06,959
Speaker 6: It's a major venue, it holds a lot of people.

2849
02:30:07,360 --> 02:30:10,879
Speaker 14: However, I just find the fascination to keep putting events there.

2850
02:30:10,920 --> 02:30:15,240
Speaker 14: Just frustrating, frustrating because all these other great new stadiums

2851
02:30:15,440 --> 02:30:18,160
Speaker 14: have been built and we're just keep going back to Dallas.

2852
02:30:18,240 --> 02:30:21,200
Speaker 6: Okay, I guess, okay, Okay, I'm just a hater.

2853
02:30:21,320 --> 02:30:21,720
Speaker 2: I guess.

2854
02:30:22,040 --> 02:30:25,680
Speaker 14: Finally there's Africa Cup of Nations action this week, Bernie

2855
02:30:26,200 --> 02:30:31,000
Speaker 14: thrilling match from Friday. Senegal now with two wins in

2856
02:30:31,040 --> 02:30:34,560
Speaker 14: the Africa Cup of Nations, Sadiomane getting on the board

2857
02:30:35,160 --> 02:30:39,800
Speaker 14: twice in this competition against Cameroon. Representing Senegal, they I

2858
02:30:39,879 --> 02:30:42,840
Speaker 14: believe are almost through to the round of sixteen, if

2859
02:30:42,879 --> 02:30:47,160
Speaker 14: not already, although disappointing news for Egypt. They have drawn

2860
02:30:47,720 --> 02:30:49,920
Speaker 14: in both their matches so far. They've got another one

2861
02:30:50,000 --> 02:30:51,880
Speaker 14: coming up on Monday, but they're going to be out

2862
02:30:51,879 --> 02:30:55,879
Speaker 14: without Mohammed Sala, who is suffering a hamstring injury and

2863
02:30:55,920 --> 02:30:58,400
Speaker 14: has projected to be out for at least two matches.

2864
02:30:58,920 --> 02:31:03,039
Speaker 14: For Egypt, it could be dicey there for the African Giants.

2865
02:31:03,280 --> 02:31:06,040
Speaker 14: A lot to see here, a lot to watch. Continue

2866
02:31:06,040 --> 02:31:08,240
Speaker 14: to roll along in the world of soccer.

2867
02:31:08,840 --> 02:31:12,480
Speaker 3: All right, thanks Chris, And one footnote about stadiums and

2868
02:31:12,840 --> 02:31:16,240
Speaker 3: venues for the World Cup and how they selected. I

2869
02:31:16,240 --> 02:31:19,320
Speaker 3: can tell you that the World Cup is very interested

2870
02:31:19,360 --> 02:31:24,440
Speaker 3: in having a game here at Allegiance Stadium, and I

2871
02:31:24,440 --> 02:31:26,960
Speaker 3: think Vegas turned them down because I think the terms

2872
02:31:26,959 --> 02:31:29,840
Speaker 3: are not always that favorable, and so a lot of

2873
02:31:29,879 --> 02:31:32,120
Speaker 3: times where I agree it would be great to be

2874
02:31:32,160 --> 02:31:34,080
Speaker 3: at so FI, and it seems like the same stadiums

2875
02:31:34,640 --> 02:31:36,520
Speaker 3: get chosen over and over. But the fact of the

2876
02:31:36,520 --> 02:31:41,000
Speaker 3: matter is it's largely because those cities want those events,

2877
02:31:41,120 --> 02:31:44,280
Speaker 3: even in spite of perhaps not always the most favorable

2878
02:31:44,680 --> 02:31:48,400
Speaker 3: financial term. So if my source is right, Vegas turned

2879
02:31:48,440 --> 02:31:52,480
Speaker 3: them down because well, wasn't necessarily the best deal for

2880
02:31:52,560 --> 02:31:56,039
Speaker 3: the hometown. Here. Speaking of a good deal for a hometown,

2881
02:31:56,120 --> 02:32:03,000
Speaker 3: one particular NFL coach desperately wants one particular candidate, I'll explain.

2882
02:32:03,400 --> 02:32:04,240
Speaker 2: I'm Bernie Frattle.

2889
02:32:22,240 --> 02:32:25,119
Speaker 3: I go any Further, I want to thank my broadcast

2890
02:32:25,160 --> 02:32:28,120
Speaker 3: team back in Los Angeles. They've been with me since

2891
02:32:28,120 --> 02:32:35,920
Speaker 3: eleven pm Pacific on Saturday night. Shay Mogangard doing great

Speaker 3: job training Ian Roddy who joins us, and of course

2893

Speaker 3: tonight joining us on all the updates. Great job, guys,

2895
02:32:47,200 --> 02:32:48,560
Speaker 3: had a lot of fun with brand new fool what

2896
02:32:48,640 --> 02:32:51,760
Speaker 3: my Name and the Super Bowl discussions, and always appreciate

2897
02:32:52,879 --> 02:32:56,760
Speaker 3: the teamwork. So you know, in the NFL there are

2898
02:32:56,760 --> 02:32:59,879
Speaker 3: a very few colorful coaches, very few quotable coaches, very few,

2899
02:33:00,560 --> 02:33:01,480
Speaker 3: you know, coaches.

2900
02:33:01,160 --> 02:33:03,880
Speaker 2: Of notoriety anymore. It's a bygone era.

2901
02:33:04,160 --> 02:33:08,920
Speaker 3: You may remember the great bum Phillips, just a tremendous

2902
02:33:09,000 --> 02:33:12,200
Speaker 3: human being, and his son Wade. It'll be coaching in

2903
02:33:12,240 --> 02:33:15,800
Speaker 3: the new United Football League for San Antonio. But bum

2904
02:33:15,840 --> 02:33:18,360
Speaker 3: Phillips back in the day had had a legendary running

2905
02:33:18,360 --> 02:33:22,040
Speaker 3: back by the name of Earl Campbell. And after one

2906
02:33:22,080 --> 02:33:27,720
Speaker 3: particular workout, the season was just getting started. Teams were

2907
02:33:27,760 --> 02:33:32,160
Speaker 3: breaking camp and and and they were having their workouts

2908
02:33:32,160 --> 02:33:35,520
Speaker 3: and they had the traditional mile run, and word had

2909
02:33:35,600 --> 02:33:39,560
Speaker 3: leaked to the press that Earl Campbell had finished last

2910
02:33:39,680 --> 02:33:42,520
Speaker 3: in the mile run, and of course a reporter couldn't

2911
02:33:42,520 --> 02:33:45,600
Speaker 3: wait to ask the question at the opening press conference,

2912
02:33:45,760 --> 02:33:48,039
Speaker 3: just like you know the question that was posed to

2913
02:33:48,080 --> 02:33:50,039
Speaker 3: Todd Bowles the other day. So Knuckle had the one

2914
02:33:50,080 --> 02:33:52,720
Speaker 3: to sound smart. So he looks at bum Phillips and

2915
02:33:52,720 --> 02:33:57,040
Speaker 3: he says, coach, coach, word, has it your star running back?

2916
02:33:57,720 --> 02:34:01,320
Speaker 3: Earl Campbell? He finished as the mile run? How do

2917
02:34:01,320 --> 02:34:06,119
Speaker 3: you feel about that? Bum Phillips looked at the reporter says, well, if.

2918
02:34:06,000 --> 02:34:12,879
Speaker 2: It's third to mile, Earl and getting the ball? Where

2919
02:34:12,879 --> 02:34:13,760
Speaker 2: am I going with this? Look?

2920
02:34:13,800 --> 02:34:17,520
Speaker 3: There are very few coaches of notoriety that are quotable,

2921
02:34:17,560 --> 02:34:20,959
Speaker 3: that have success, that can really command a room. And

2922
02:34:21,000 --> 02:34:23,960
Speaker 3: the truth of the matter is, I think they're dying breed.

2923
02:34:24,000 --> 02:34:26,360
Speaker 3: But one one gentleman who's still very much with us

2924
02:34:27,200 --> 02:34:31,440
Speaker 3: and is looking to break Don Shula's record fourteen more

2925
02:34:31,480 --> 02:34:34,200
Speaker 3: wins to do it. That would be one mister Bill Belichick.

2926
02:34:35,480 --> 02:34:38,879
Speaker 3: And if Bill Belichick is not the leading candidate in Atlanta,

2927
02:34:38,879 --> 02:34:40,160
Speaker 3: I don't know who the hell is now. I know

2928
02:34:40,200 --> 02:34:45,480
Speaker 3: that Arthur Blank has interviewed nine candidates, including Mike McDonald

2929
02:34:45,480 --> 02:34:49,920
Speaker 3: and Brian Callahan and Steve Wilkes, the defensive coordinator in

2930
02:34:49,959 --> 02:34:54,440
Speaker 3: San Francisco, and Aaron Glenn, the defensive coordinator for Detroit.

2931
02:34:54,480 --> 02:34:57,480
Speaker 3: And he's also interviewed Jim Harbaugh, and we'll interview Harbaugh

2932
02:34:57,520 --> 02:34:59,760
Speaker 3: a second time. But I think that's a that's a

2933
02:35:01,040 --> 02:35:04,200
Speaker 3: but Bill Belichick is the one. His first interview was

2934
02:35:04,200 --> 02:35:10,360
Speaker 3: on a yacht, and on Arthur Blank's yacht near the

2935
02:35:10,440 --> 02:35:15,800
Speaker 3: Virgin Islands. And then before that, Belichick was reportedly flown

2936
02:35:15,840 --> 02:35:19,640
Speaker 3: into Atlanta on one of Arthur Blank's private jets. Now

2937
02:35:19,720 --> 02:35:22,240
Speaker 3: Arthur Blank the head coach of the Falcons. He's desperate

2938
02:35:22,240 --> 02:35:23,959
Speaker 3: to win. He's eighty one years old. He's a good guy.

2939
02:35:24,360 --> 02:35:26,200
Speaker 3: Came all so close a few years ago, led the

2940
02:35:26,200 --> 02:35:29,360
Speaker 3: Patriots by twenty eighty three. And who beat him? Bill Belichick,

2941
02:35:29,400 --> 02:35:32,920
Speaker 3: of course. And Arthur Blank's gone big name hunting before, right,

2942
02:35:32,959 --> 02:35:34,880
Speaker 3: He tried to hire Joe Gibbs. And there's one other

2943
02:35:35,920 --> 02:35:40,119
Speaker 3: there's one other big time coach that then Arthur Blank

2944
02:35:40,200 --> 02:35:40,640
Speaker 3: blanked on.

2945
02:35:41,200 --> 02:35:43,240
Speaker 2: But he wants to win. And this is a pretty

2946
02:35:43,240 --> 02:35:43,720
Speaker 2: good roster.

2947
02:35:43,879 --> 02:35:46,440
Speaker 3: With the right situation, it might have been Atlanta very

2948
02:35:46,440 --> 02:35:49,160
Speaker 3: well winning the NFC South this year. Not Atlanta. I'm

2949
02:35:49,160 --> 02:35:53,280
Speaker 3: not excuse me. Not Tampa Bay. So we are now

2950
02:35:53,320 --> 02:35:56,480
Speaker 3: hearing that according to reports.

2951
02:35:57,000 --> 02:35:57,840
Speaker 2: And you don't know.

2952
02:35:58,120 --> 02:36:02,600
Speaker 3: But even though the Falcon may have several options, I'm

2953
02:36:02,640 --> 02:36:07,680
Speaker 3: hearing that Arthur blank is frankly desperate to get Bill Belichick.

2954
02:36:08,480 --> 02:36:11,320
Speaker 3: Harbaugh's going to have a second interview. But Belichick's the

2955
02:36:11,360 --> 02:36:14,360
Speaker 3: only one that's spoken twice to the Falcons. Arguably the

2956
02:36:14,360 --> 02:36:17,480
Speaker 3: greatest coach in the NFL history. Maybe or I it's

2957
02:36:17,480 --> 02:36:19,920
Speaker 3: not him, you know, shoelez bum Phillips used to say,

2958
02:36:20,200 --> 02:36:22,200
Speaker 3: I don't know who the greatest one is, but it

2959
02:36:22,240 --> 02:36:24,440
Speaker 3: don't take long to call roll. Well, Bill Belichick's right

2960
02:36:24,480 --> 02:36:28,080
Speaker 3: up there in that role, right, So I for one

2961
02:36:28,120 --> 02:36:30,320
Speaker 3: would like to see Bill Belichick end up at Atlanta.

2962
02:36:30,480 --> 02:36:32,200
Speaker 3: It never would have worked in Dallas. I don't think

2963
02:36:32,200 --> 02:36:34,320
Speaker 3: Belichick would have taken it, and Jerry wouldn't have offered it.

2964
02:36:35,000 --> 02:36:37,280
Speaker 3: But other sources say that it's only fifty to fifty

2965
02:36:37,480 --> 02:36:41,200
Speaker 3: as to whether Belichick, who hasn't interviewed with anybody else

2966
02:36:41,200 --> 02:36:42,600
Speaker 3: and doesn't appear to have a whole hell of a

2967
02:36:42,640 --> 02:36:45,480
Speaker 3: lot of other options at this point, will actually take

2968
02:36:45,560 --> 02:36:49,720
Speaker 3: the job. So if he does, he does, If he doesn't,

2969
02:36:49,760 --> 02:36:52,080
Speaker 3: he doesn't, I think it would be a great story.

2970
02:36:52,160 --> 02:36:55,560
Speaker 3: I think you would have success at Atlanta dud as he

2971
02:36:55,680 --> 02:36:58,880
Speaker 3: marched down towards Don Shula's record. And I don't blame

2972
02:36:58,959 --> 02:37:02,080
Speaker 3: Arthur Blank for being a little desperate, because it's really

2973
02:37:02,080 --> 02:37:06,000
Speaker 3: a crapshoot hiring coaches, you know well as well as anybody.

2974
02:37:06,760 --> 02:37:09,560
Speaker 3: There's eight down, and there's talk they made let Nick

2975
02:37:09,600 --> 02:37:13,320
Speaker 3: Sirianni go this next week, So we'll see what happens there.

2976
02:37:13,360 --> 02:37:15,959
Speaker 3: But whether or not Arthur Blank is desperate to get

2977
02:37:16,000 --> 02:37:18,800
Speaker 3: Bill Belichick, he's no bearing as to whether or not

2978
02:37:18,800 --> 02:37:22,000
Speaker 3: he actually gets Bill Belichick, but it would be a story.

2979
02:37:22,160 --> 02:37:24,720
Speaker 3: And I bet you he is Arthur Blank's first choice.

2980
02:37:25,080 --> 02:37:28,039
Speaker 3: And if that happens, I'm here for it to see

2981
02:37:28,360 --> 02:37:30,400
Speaker 3: how that works out. As we head into twenty twenty four,

2982
02:37:30,440 --> 02:37:32,480
Speaker 3: it's gonna do for the Bernie Frauder Show. We'll see
