Speaker 6: Right, Cowboys are gonna be at the Commanders and Dallas

00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 6: And then we got the afternoon game Netflix as well,

55
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,000

Speaker 6: then we go on to from Netflix to Amazon Prime

58
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 6: Video for the late game between the Broncos and the Chiefs,

59

Speaker 6: where Denver is a thirteen and a half point favorite, and.

60
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:15,000

00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 4: I will not and OTV watching NFL football on Christmas.

62
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 5: What I find hilarious is that the running joke is normally, oh,

63
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 5: it's Netflix time when the game sucks, right, or it's

64
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 5: like he has five times it's like, well, they'll already

65
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:31,079
Speaker 5: be on Netflix.

66
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 3: Is this gonna be the thing that moves people to

67
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 3: cable right cause you can't. You can't go to Netflix

68
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 3: to run from it. Yeah, I run from it on Netflix.

69
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 4: I'm gonna have to go to me TV or something

70
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 4: and use the antenna off try to find something else,

71
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 4: some marathon or something, or some Christmas movies that are on.

72
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, and Lee, you just talked about it.

73
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 4: The spreads tell you all you need to know, like

74
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 4: like these are not supposed to.

75
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 3: Be competitive, bad matchups.

76
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 4: I'm sure when they thought about it that the implic

77
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 4: cations would have been great.

78
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 3: You know the Lions Vikings, you know that was a.

79
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 4: Big game last year, the last game of the year

80
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 4: that decided the division. So that's always something. But the

81
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 4: Vikings aren't there. And if the Packers win on Saturday, right.

82
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 3: What am I thinking?

83
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 5: Uh?

84
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 4: So, the lines play tomorrow. But if the Packers win Saturday,

85
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 4: the Lions are done, right, they got to win two games.

86
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 3: And the Packers have to lose. It's a lot of

87
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 3: lines to make it as well.

88
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 6: The Lens win out in the Packers losing game, I

89
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 6: think they're in no, no, no, they.

90
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 3: Got to lose two games.

91
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 4: The Packers got to lose both games because remember there's

92
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 4: a tie there, they have one.

93
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 3: Less loss than the Lions.

94
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 4: Either way, you know what I mean, it's two and two.

95
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 4: The only way the Packers don't make the playoffs. They

96
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 4: got to lose both and the Lions have to win both.

97
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 4: That's the only way.

98
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 5: So are you into it? Are you gonna be watching what?

99
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 5: I'm in the football? But I'm in the football, but

100
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 5: not good bad football. I think I'm in the football.

101
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,279
Speaker 5: To me, watching game is like buying a ticket to

102
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 5: a movie. Like if you're into movies, you have no

103
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 5: promise that this movie you're walking into going to be good.

104
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,479
Speaker 5: So you never flip away from a blowout or a

105
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 5: terrible game, a lop side of game.

106
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 3: You're talking to the wrong guy.

107
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 4: Okay, I'm asking, Okay, I'll say this, Lee wear you

108
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 4: real quick? Did you turn off a bad game like

109
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 4: a blop side of game?

110
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 3: I don't.

111
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 6: It depends how long into the game, and if.

112
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 4: It's not not your team, not like say it's not

113
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,040
Speaker 4: the pack because you're not going to turn off.

114
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,039
Speaker 3: From the Packers. No, that stays all day, all day.

115
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 4: But I'm saying, like this is a game that you're watching,

116
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 4: like the Cowboys and the Commanders. If it's forty one

117
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 4: to nothing in the second quarter, I'm you're sticking around.

118
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 3: I don't. I'll leave it on the TV, but I'll

119
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 3: walk away. I'll I'll go do something in the kitchen.

120
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 6: I'll go hang out that socialized do something with somebody else.

121
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 5: I'm not exactly clocking every single play like I would

122
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 5: have in that ram Seahawks game from a couple of

123
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 5: weeks ago, like where it comes down to the final possession,

124
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 5: it's all well and great. This is my problem. I

125
00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 5: think the NFL when I was growing up, like Sunday

126
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 5: at one o'clock was almost like an extension of church, right,

127
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 5: Like everybody went to church in the morning, and it's

128
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 5: Sunday at one o'clock or noon. Noon because I lived

129
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:14,280
Speaker 5: in several time zone was now another like religious gathering.

130
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 5: Because I grew up watching the Saints and that team

131
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 5: was terrible. They always played at noon, ain't They always

132
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 5: played at noon.

133
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,159
Speaker 3: It was never a Monday night at there. You know

134
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:23,840
Speaker 3: none of that.

135
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 5: And I think that one of the things that the NFL,

136
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 5: one of the things that makes the NFL special is

137
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:34,839
Speaker 5: that ritualistic nature of my team is more than likely

138
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 5: going to play Sunday at one o'clock, and you build

139
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 5: it into your schedule, you build it into your routine.

140
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,359
Speaker 3: And it's the only sport that's like that. The more

141
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 3: they put.

142
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 5: These games on standalone windows, they try to make a

143
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 5: new primetime window in the morning by playing a game

144
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 5: in London and Spain.

145
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:53,720
Speaker 3: Or Germany whatever.

146
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 5: All you're doing that is make it to the West

147
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 5: coast doesn't watch right, like they don't they don't care, But.

148
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 3: Like to me, you want to have Thursday night football? Cool?

149
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 5: Have one team played Thursday, because this is what happens

150
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,280
Speaker 5: in the NFL and the college football Playoff is finding

151
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 5: the same problem when you have all the games happen

152
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 5: Sunday at one o'clock.

153
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 3: We see two or three.

154
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 5: Great endings and you'll sit there and be like, this

155
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 5: is a great day of football. Right, But you know what,

156
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 5: you didn't see thirty eight to six Jaguars over Chargers. Right,

157
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 5: you didn't see that because it was a standalone It's

158
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 5: very much like the same thing as the first week

159
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 5: in the March madness.

160
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 3: There's only like six good games they have to play.

161
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 3: Sixty eight to get to it. Do you see what

162
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 3: I'm saying.

163
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 5: There's only like three four good games on a Sunday.

164
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 5: They have to play like twelve to get to it.

165
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 5: You're eliminating that opportunity by having three games tomorrow, and

166
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 5: the benefit, the juice is not worth the squeeze because,

167
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 5: like you said, every every when you're sitting there with

168
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 5: Grandma and your girlfriend and mom, they gonna be like, oh,

169
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 5: where's where if that point that was in the Super Bowl?

170
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 5: Oh he tore his acl Patrick Mahomes is out.

171
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 3: Oh where's this? Oh he's out too. Oh.

172
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 5: You know, all the players with any name recognition for

173
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 5: your average you know person who's just dipping in on

174
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 5: holidays like.

175
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 3: This, they're gone. So the whole juice of all of

176
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 3: it is so it's not even worth it. But to me,

177
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 3: and this is the guy who would not work.

178
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 4: When I was in high school, I wouldn't work on

179
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 4: Sundays during football season. I was a shoe salesman. I

180
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 4: went to my boss at a sixteen year old no.

181
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:33,199
Speaker 4: Lie Shelley Zimmerman at stride right at the Queens Center Mall. Shelley,

182
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 4: I don't work on Sundays. From September to December. Like

183
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,199
Speaker 4: you know, you work at a mall, you gotta work weekends.

184
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:44,079
Speaker 4: I work any other days for you, Sundays during the

185
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 4: summer whatever it is.

186
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 3: Football season.

187
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 4: Though, my mom used to let me leave church early Martin,

188
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 4: even though we were within walking distance of the church,

189
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,079
Speaker 4: so that I could see the kickoff. I didn't want

190
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 4: to come in in the first quarter eight minutes in.

191
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 4: I want to watch the game from kickoff, the entire game.

192
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 4: I look over at her as ten minutes to one

193
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 4: to give me the high sign. You know what I mean,

194
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 4: you could bounce.

195
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 3: I'm out.

196
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 4: I'm walking home by myself because I want to go

197
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 4: see the football game. But as I get older, and

198
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 4: even as a football guy who does this for a

199
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 4: living and I enjoy football blowouts, games that don't matter,

200
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 4: I'm just not. I'm not a fantasy guy. And I

201
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 4: get people who watch fantasy, they watch that, but these

202
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:32,679
Speaker 4: games are unappealing to me.

203
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 3: They just are.

204
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 4: You just said it. The Chiefs, no Patrick, no Rights.

205
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 4: That is not playing. I don't know who else is missing.

206
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 4: Gardner Minshew is out like like we're down to the

207
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 4: third guns.

208
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 5: I asked, remember when Julio Jones went to Tennessee, yep.

209
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 3: I asked a guy who was.

210
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 5: Coaching in the NFC West at the time, said, how

211
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,200
Speaker 5: are you going to handle this? Like, like, how are

212
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 5: you going to be able to stop A J Brown,

213
00:09:57,920 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 5: Julio Jones, and Derek Henry all at the same time.

214
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 5: He said, we'll see if they're all there when we play.

215
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 5: And sure enough, two of the three missed that game.

216
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 5: I forget what you know. Two of the three missed

217
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,319
Speaker 5: that game. And that's the life of the NFL. That's

218
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 5: the reality of the NFL.

219
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 3: I get it.

220
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 5: Like the idea that you can schedule out week one,

221
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 5: that you know who's gonna be there week thirteen, the

222
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 5: same in a way that you kind of can in

223
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:25,079
Speaker 5: the NBA. It's just not true, but but that, but

224
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 5: that's always why when people have schedule shows, when they

225
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 5: announce the schedule and they give you the record and

226
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 5: they tell you what you know, like like you don't

227
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 5: it is silly.

228
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 3: And I've said it all, just absolutely silly because.

229
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 4: You don't know who's going to play week nine, or

230
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 4: week eleven or week twelve. Like the idea that you

231
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 4: know everybody's gonna be healthy and you gonna have an say, oh, yeah,

232
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 4: that's gonna be a.

233
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 3: Win for them.

234
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 5: That's gonna No, no, it doesn't work like that. But

235
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:53,679
Speaker 5: football to me.

236
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 3: Is not sure.

237
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 4: Can I have it on his background noise? Absolutely, But

238
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 4: I'm talking about watch the game. I just can't see

239
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 4: Washington and Dallas. What would I want to Why would

240
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 4: I want.

241
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 3: To watch that?

242
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,679
Speaker 5: As much as I love football, that game does not

243
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:16,839
Speaker 5: do anything for me. The Lions game I want to

244
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 5: see coming off that Pittsburgh loss.

245
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 3: Do they come and take it out on the Vikings

246
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:21,559
Speaker 3: or do they lose it.

247
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 5: If they lose to the Viking. I think the Lions

248
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,079
Speaker 5: have a very there is and see that's what I'm saying.

249
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 3: I can find a storyline in anything. But to me,

250
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 3: the Lions losing this this Vikings.

251
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 5: Game, to me, is a sign that you are on

252
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,320
Speaker 5: the right side of this, like your opinion, Rob has

253
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 5: been on the right side of this.

254
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,559
Speaker 3: Like, seriously, you went back to back.

255
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 5: You weren't losing back to back games, you know, Okay, okay, cool,

256
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:46,680
Speaker 5: You're on a wind streat. Now you go up and down,

257
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 5: up and down, up and down. Now you start losing

258
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 5: back to back games. Like it's just something like things

259
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 5: are going in the wrong direction.

260
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 4: And Martin and you know what I said, right, because

261
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 4: we did a show together about it, I've said the

262
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 4: window was closed. But here's the thing. If your line's fan,

263
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 4: you look at it and go. We went from NFC

264
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 4: championship game to the best record we ever had in

265
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 4: franchise history, fifteen to two, home field throughout the playoffs,

266
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:18,839
Speaker 4: lose to a rookie quarterback, and now year three, no postseason.

267
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,680
Speaker 3: Like that is a dramatic do you know what I mean?

268
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 3: Like like you're going they're going the wrong way. And

269
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 3: I know.

270
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,839
Speaker 4: Everybody's said, oh but they got young players and their

271
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 4: sign and all that.

272
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 3: No, and the division is getting better too.

273
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 5: Well that's the thing that to me, like it's kind

274
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:39,320
Speaker 5: of the soundly alarm. Ben Johnson and Chicago they seem

275
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,439
Speaker 5: to be figuring it. They probably won't be the one

276
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 5: seed next year. But okay, so you go from winning

277
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 5: thirteen games to winning ten games. Guess what's still a

278
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 5: good team?

279
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 3: Right? Vikings have a great roster, just have quarterbacks. Let

280
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 3: them find a.

281
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 5: Guy with the ride on them that can go back

282
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 5: there and play. And you see that team was fourteen

283
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 5: wins last year. Yeah, right, thirteen wins. They were right

284
00:12:59,040 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 5: there last year.

285
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:01,079
Speaker 3: They got a lot of talent on the run, and

286
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 3: so the thing.

287
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 5: That gets in and then then you had the Packers.

288
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 5: The other thing that gets me with the Lions is

289
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 5: it's the same problems. It's it's the same issues, the

290
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 5: same defensive injuries. Right, consistent defensive offense hasn't been the issue.

291
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 5: Even when they switched the offensive coordinate. There's still scoring points.

292
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,719
Speaker 5: They're still moving the ball. The reason the Commanders beat

293
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 5: them in the playoffs last year they scored forty some points.

294
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 5: They got beat because they couldn't play any defensive They

295
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 5: all carved them up.

296
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 4: Also, also you got Jared Goff had four four turnovers,

297
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,319
Speaker 4: no no doubt. But even he'm just saying yeah, yeah,

298
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,679
Speaker 4: but I'm saying four turnovers in a playoff game. I

299
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 4: don't know what playoff game you are gonna win. When

300
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 4: your quarterback those three picks and fumbles the football like

301
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 4: that turned the game around. And then that halfback that

302
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 4: was another interception. Remember the running back through the interception.

303
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:53,439
Speaker 3: Jamison Williams, I believe that, Yeah, I think.

304
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 5: That was it was crazy, all right, eight seven, seven

305
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 5: ninety nine on Fox, Where are you.

306
00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 3: Are you watching football regardless.

307
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 4: Of does it matter who's playing or if the games

308
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 4: don't matter, the score blowed out, if the team's getting

309
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,199
Speaker 4: blowed out, as they say in the barbershop?

310
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 3: Are you watching regardless or are you? Do you pick

311
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 3: and choose? Do you go?

312
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,679
Speaker 4: I'm gonna spend my time on this. I'm not gonna

313
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 4: watch that. Is there a game really this Sun, this Thursday,

314
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 4: this Christmas Day that you're dying to watch? Or are

315

359
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:40,320

Speaker 4: And do you watch the football regardless of how bad

361
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 4: it is, or do you have a special reason to

362
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 4: be watching? You can't wait to watch Washington in Dallas tomorrow?

363

Speaker 3: Thank you, happy honka, my man. I appreciate that, Stony.

370
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 9: I just want to let you know my aunt, dead

371
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 9: aunt Mildrid Goldberg, has been reincarnated in Rob Parker, and

372
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 9: I wanted to have an address to ship my tote

373
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:30,879
Speaker 9: bag to you so you can go into those buffets

374
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 9: and smuggle in and out all of the leftovers, because

375
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 9: I know you love that. No merry Christmas, do you, guys?

376
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 9: I just want to put a vote in that. I

377
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 9: just like the little you know it's Christmas, but you

378
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 9: and Martin got a nice little, a little buzz going.

379
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:51,119
Speaker 9: Then God bless you, Mery Christmas. If you're listening a

380
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 9: little too much to stop thrown when you get in there.

381
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 9: But just for twenty twenty six, if you want to

382
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,440
Speaker 9: mix it up, my vote. You guys are great together.

383
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:00,680
Speaker 3: You and Martin appreciate it.

384
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:05,200
Speaker 9: I was in terms of the NFL, Yeah, I think

385
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:09,119
Speaker 9: Martin kind of nailed it. If you do go to

386
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 9: the movies that whole person, if you do watch football,

387
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 9: you'll find a way to Netflix. I mean, wink wink,

388
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 9: there's there's these sites. I think there's way wait to

389
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 9: watch that.

390
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 5: But obviously the what But I guess my point is

391
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 5: I get the gambling and all that.

392
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 4: But I'm saying, do you if a game is out

393
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 4: of hand or if it's a blow, do you turn?

394
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 3: Do you?

395
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 5: Do you walk away from the game? Do you You

396
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 5: might keep it on, but do you you just watch

397
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:35,160
Speaker 5: it all the way through?

398
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 9: No? No, Tomorrow. I think a lot of people are

399
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 9: totally disengaged in the NFL lost. I think they lost

400
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 9: for tomorrow. I think if they would have just kept

401
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 9: it for like what you guys are saying Sunday, the

402
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:52,639
Speaker 9: Sunday stuff, even the Saturday that they got to really

403
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:56,200
Speaker 9: kind of, uh, you know, turn it into a commodity

404
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:58,400
Speaker 9: rather than just spreading it out during the week because

405
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,439
Speaker 9: it loses value in the NFL always had that, it

406
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 9: always had that prestigious thing about Sundays. And if they

407
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 9: want to do December, you know, the last couple of

408
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 9: weeks on Saturday. I guess that's fine, but it's like

409
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,160
Speaker 9: when you see watering it down, I mean, people will

410
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:12,880
Speaker 9: just be doing other things tomorrow.

411
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:14,880
Speaker 4: In general, no no doubt about it, and then they're

412
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:18,120
Speaker 4: no good matchup. So thanks for the call and we're appreciated.

413
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 4: Come on, Stony. My first radio partner is Mike Stone,

422
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 10: I'm going to be late to the party. But I'm

423
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 10: calling about a favorite Christmas gift. Yes, go for it,

424
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 10: and I'll date myself.

425
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 9: And this was probably.

426
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 10: Back sixty eight, sixty nine something like that, and I'm

427
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 10: seven or eight years old there, and I got I

428
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 10: got a divorce, single mother raising two boys, and on

429
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:13,479
Speaker 10: a secretary salary that you can probably imagine that probably

430
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 10: wasn't too much.

431
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 3: Oh no back then, no doubt back then.

432
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 10: But anyway, so we're opening Christmas gifts in the house

433
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 10: and that kind of thing. And I was always appreciative

434
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 10: of whatever a little bit that mom was able to

435
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 10: provide us and all of that, and it's kind of

436
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:33,119
Speaker 10: like that, and then she just kind of says, Rockie,

437
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:36,879
Speaker 10: why don't you just look outside? And so I opened

438
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 10: the front door and at the bottom of the step,

439
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 10: sitting there on the sidewalk was a shwim Toornado bicycle.

440
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 4: I'm getting a rookie, I'm getting goosebumps because you must

441
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 4: have jumped out of your skin, am I right?

442
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 10: Man? I rode that damn thing with a wheel right

443
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 10: off of it.

444
00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:58,399
Speaker 9: That bicycle.

445
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 10: That was that was the greatest gift that I've ever

446
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 10: gotten in my life as a kid. Back then was

447
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:10,639
Speaker 10: a bike. And uh that that that will always forever

448
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 10: be in memory just because of the time.

449
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 9: It was.

450
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 3: Right, that's a great story.

451
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 4: And your mom probably made a great sacrifice to get

452
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 4: you that bike, you know what I mean?

453
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 10: She did, Yes, she did. She made great sacrifices while

454
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 10: you know, she she was able to remarry and marry

455
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:31,399
Speaker 10: my stepfather who raised me, and they were married for

456
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 10: thirty five years. So they both passed away, and so

457
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 10: and brought me up and my dad and they was

458
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:40,920
Speaker 10: still and he passed away as well. But so all

459
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,119
Speaker 10: of my parents were part of it, but as a

460
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 10: single parent at that particular time. And I'm like, okay,

461
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 10: this is good. And then I saw that red shwined

462
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:51,399
Speaker 10: Tornado bicycle.

463
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 3: I was like, holym what a great story. Hey, Rocky,

464
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:57,119

Speaker 4: that text. I'm glad you will listen to.

504
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 3: I scored the I'm gonna say this real quick.

505
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:50,119
Speaker 4: So you know the late great Jamie Samuelson from WDFN,

506
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:53,239
Speaker 4: who is the radio ye Western Peace radio guy with

507
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 4: us when we first lost the station in nineteen ninety four.

508
00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 4: So Jamie is like, I'm playing there Nancy, who's again

509
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 4: a Hall of Famer, and he's like, You're not gonna

510
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 4: even score against Nancy.

511
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 3: I'm like, I'm not gonna score. You really think I'm

512
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 3: that lame that I'm I'm.

513
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:14,159
Speaker 5: Not dissing her ability as a Hall of Fame basketball player,

514
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 5: but I'm not even gonna.

515
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 3: Score against Nancy. And what happened.

516
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 4: So, of course I scored the first basket of the game,

517
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 4: because you got the ball first.

518
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 3: I did score. Yes, uh huh.

519
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:26,919
Speaker 4: I called time out after I scored the basket. I

520
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 4: got video of me pumping my fist when I make

521
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 4: this turnaround and put it up there and it goes in,

522
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 4: and I called time out, and I went straight to

523
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:40,439
Speaker 4: the sideline and found Jamie Samuelson and said, give me

524
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 4: my twenty.

525
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 3: Only I would do that.

526
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:49,360
Speaker 5: And then that was the lesson Jamie learned that day. Well,

527
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 5: you should have made it one and a half buckets.

528
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:55,680
Speaker 5: But I want you to know I scored the second basket.

529
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 5: I was up to nothing and then Nancy, of course,

530
00:24:57,920 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 5: But after that second basket, your head was bigger than

531
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 5: Jamies was.

532
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:06,880
Speaker 3: You know that? No doubt? All right? That was no

533
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 3: doubt about it, all right.

534
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:12,920
Speaker 5: Odd couple, Rob Parker Martin Weiss here on Fox Sports

535
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:14,120
Speaker 5: Radio and.

536
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 4: The NBA. Also, Martin Tomorrow has a slew of games.

537
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 4: Are you interested in some of those games? In a

538
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 4: passing tertiary way?

539
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 5: To me, this is kind of the tip off of

540
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:33,120
Speaker 5: the NBA season, even though they've played about thirty games.

541
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:35,440
Speaker 3: But I'll be paying attention to it. The thing.

542
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,159
Speaker 5: Honestly, this is the conversation I'm gonna be having around

543
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:42,959
Speaker 5: the Christmas dinner table. And Rob, I just just just

544
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 5: hang on this because I sat and watched Aaron Rodgers say,

545
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 5: I said, I said you a clip right, Yes, Aaron

546
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:53,440
Speaker 5: Rodgers against the Lions. There's a clip that came out

547
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 5: on social media's from inside the NFL. Aaron Rodgers telling

548
00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 5: Kenneth Gainwell what to do on the play?

549
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:01,119
Speaker 3: Right he caught? He says it right.

550
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 5: He literally tells Kenneth Ganwell, no, you're like, come over

551
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 5: here to the other side of me in motion. Then

552
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:09,440
Speaker 5: he goes go all the way to the last all

553
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:12,119
Speaker 5: the way to the sideline, run a go route, and

554
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 5: then he throws the ball to Kenneth Gainwell touchdown. After

555
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 5: it was one of the best plays of the weekend.

556
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 5: Now that's the thing that kind of got me here.

557
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 5: But then I thought about it again because you watched

558
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 5: that Monday night football game in which Philip Rivers and

559
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 5: the Colts got their asses kicked.

560
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,119
Speaker 3: However, he did throw for two seventy five plus, right

561
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:32,399
Speaker 3: he was.

562
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 4: But morny thing is, I'm gonna say this for people

563
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,199
Speaker 4: who are having a parade for Philip Rivers and bring

564
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 4: him back next year. Dude, you brought him back for

565
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 4: one reason, Martin. What did you bring him back for?

566
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:46,399
Speaker 3: To try to win game? Okay?

567
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 5: And they did not. They lost both games that he

568
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 5: was in. And you could say whatever you want. He

569
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 5: didn't get the job done for what you needed. You

570
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 5: needed you thought your best chance to win was with

571
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 5: Philip Rivers. That was the reason that you brought a

572
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:04,440
Speaker 5: forty four year old back or and played for five years,

573
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:06,679
Speaker 5: and it was a fail I don't care what the

574
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,440
Speaker 5: numbers are, how many inns he only threw two inner

575
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:10,679
Speaker 5: what I agree?

576
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:13,400
Speaker 3: I agree absolutely to me, it's it's it's a failure.

577
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 5: I think that the only benefit that comes out of

578
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 5: it for Philip Rivers, in part is this Hall of

579
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:21,199
Speaker 5: Fame clock starts again and I don't think he was

580
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:24,639
Speaker 5: getting in in this round, and he gets the healthcare

581
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 5: starts up again, right, So I think the caangible life

582
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:30,359
Speaker 5: benefits for Philip Rivers to do all this before the

583
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 5: cult side of things didn't make sense to me personally.

584
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:37,399
Speaker 3: But if I'm watching this is what I take I'm

585
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:38,239
Speaker 3: taking away from this.

586
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 5: Do you sit there and watch Philip Rivers he is

587
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:42,880
Speaker 5: called and plays at the line of scrimmage. You sit

588
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 5: there and watch Aaron Rodgers and there he's, you know, dictating,

589
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:48,359
Speaker 5: drawing it up in the dirt at the line of scrimmage.

590
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:52,399
Speaker 5: These guys are in their forties right now, obvious right

591
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 5: to play the whole time.

592
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,880
Speaker 3: But Philip, I mean both of that, as in the forties, you.

593
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 5: Don't see on a consistent base Philip Rivers doing to

594
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:02,679
Speaker 5: everlay and he threw for two seventy five and his

595
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:06,199
Speaker 5: limited ability at this stage in the game, where is

596
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:09,920
Speaker 5: it that young quarterback? Like why are any young quarterbacks?

597
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:12,120
Speaker 5: Do they have the ability to do that?

598
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 3: Like it's not being taught in the same way.

599
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:17,959
Speaker 5: And I think that, like that is the reason why

600
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 5: we sit back and say why is this team so

601
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:21,680
Speaker 5: up and down?

602
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 3: Why is this team? Like because why.

603
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:26,879
Speaker 5: You know, the forty nine are able to do it

604
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 5: with seemingly any quarterback because they've taken a lot of

605
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 5: the specialness out of the position, Like they've taken a

606
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 5: lot of what made these guys field generals out of

607
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 5: the position, in my opinion, And you see it in

608
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 5: the Philip Rivers and the Aaron Rodgers, like those are obvious.

609
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 5: I mean Philip Rivers obviously from a generation pass. Rogers

610
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 5: hanging on from a generation pass. And I can say

611
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 5: hanging on, I don't mean a derogatory's no, he's played well,

612
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 5: but he's contemporaries with Roethlisberger and Brady and Rivers like

613
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 5: those are his guys.

614
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 3: Those are all field generals.

615
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 5: And I look at the top quarterbacks now in the league, Mahomes,

616
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 5: Allen Burrow, I mean Mahomes, Allen's and Lamar, they're all

617
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:08,720
Speaker 5: super athletic. There's no guys out there that are real

618
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 5: field generals in the same way. And I think it

619
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 5: is a major impact on like what makes NFL football good?

620
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:16,480
Speaker 3: Do you know what I'm saying?

621
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 5: Like what makes NFL football good? I think it really

622
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 5: has a major impact on that. Yeah, it's just supporting.

623
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 5: And this is what we talk about.

624
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 4: We talked about with Lamar when we started the show,

625
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:30,479
Speaker 4: how many teams don't have quarter like seriously like that, Like,

626
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 4: for you mean to tell me that, I get it.

627
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 4: Daniel Jones gets heard and Richardson blows out his eye

628
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 4: socket or whatever, like in a freak accident. Right, okay,

629
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 4: but even but there's no there's nobody gets there's how

630
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 4: many Division I football program one hundred.

631
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 3: And thirty something like that?

632
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 4: Hundred all right, there's nobody who played football at a

633
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 4: major college who could come in and throw the ball

634
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 4: or or like it's mind boggling to me. To me,

635
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 4: and I guess it that the coach, coach and rivers

636
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 4: have a relationship. That's why cronyism, you know what I

637
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 4: mean and all that, But it just it is.

638
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 3: Mind boggling that there aren't more guys out there. It's

639
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 3: it to me, I think there are. I think that's

640
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 3: the thing.

641
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 5: That is because your point, I said, we set up

642
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 5: and watched not necessarily great college quarterbacks or like guys

643
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 5: that are.

644
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 3: Like Kayler, like Kayla Williams.

645
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 5: You knew from day one he's a first round pick

646
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 5: from the moment he stepped on the field in Oklahoma.

647
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 3: Right right, he had electric starr. And that's not everybody,

648
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 3: And that's fun.

649
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 5: There's a ton of guys out there who could just

650
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 5: run an offense, right, But to me, it's the uniqueness

651
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 5: of you saw like seeing them go and literally pick

652
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 5: on players right like he's moving game on out to

653
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:51,360
Speaker 5: the out to the sideline to pick on a linebacker.

654
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 3: That's not happening with the young quarterbacks in the league

655
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 3: just following what.

656
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 5: And and as a result, you're so dependent on your coach, right,

657
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 5: Your so dependent And that's why half the league sucks,

658
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 5: am I, because half the call they fired a third

659
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 5: of the coaches every year that there's not a lot

660
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 5: of guys that can do it.

661
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 3: Well, that's a big problem.

662
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 4: And you're right, like Aaron Rodgers saw the mismatch and

663
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 4: was like, dude, just just.

664
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 3: Just go and I and I don't know what quarter

665
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:23,480
Speaker 3: like and you asked me.

666
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 5: Even Mahomes after his third his third year in the league,

667
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 5: was like, I'm just now learning to redefenses.

668
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 3: He said that.

669
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 5: I guess like it's like when I see guys like

670
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 5: Tom Brady or Ben Rothers talking about back in my day.

671
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 3: I'm with you, Like.

672
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:41,479
Speaker 5: I generally you you I have to walk up, you know,

673
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:44,959
Speaker 5: uphill both ways in the snow with no shoes. No,

674
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 5: with this one, I'm with you because it looked way

675
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:50,240
Speaker 5: harder to do what they're doing at a high level

676
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 5: than to see what the roo like the rook the

677
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 5: third year fourth year quarterbacks are doing now and what

678
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 5: do you.

679
00:31:55,320 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 4: Make of And we saw Jayden Daniels. Where are you

680
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 4: on CJ. Stroud too? I'm just curious as like, they

681
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 4: have a defense that could get to the Super Bowl.

682
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 3: I think they do, but do they have the quarterback?

683
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 3: Like CJ. Stroud has been He's.

684
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:17,720
Speaker 4: Hot and cold for me, Like, like I Year one

685
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 4: was fantastic.

686
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:20,239
Speaker 3: Year two and I get it.

687
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 4: Injuries were there, didn't have everybody, offensive line was leaky.

688
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 4: I'm not trying to put it all on him, but

689
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 4: he definitely took a step back. And this year there's

690
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 4: so many games I watch or or I'll see the

691
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 4: highlights or see the stats as I.

692
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 3: Go through them.

693
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 4: No touchdowns, a pick, no touch you know what I mean,

694
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 4: Like a lot of field goals, can't get in the

695
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 4: end zone.

696
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 5: I don't know I would say he did have. I'm

697
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 5: not saying it's misfortune for the team, but there is

698
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 5: a level I think for almost every pro athlete if

699
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:52,560
Speaker 5: they get hurt, they miss games, and then the replacement

700
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 5: comes in and like has a level of success.

701
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 3: There's a level of your own feeling there.

702
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 5: Right, there's a level of got to make sure I

703
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 5: can get get in here and get this done. Because

704
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 5: Davis Mills plit that team on a winning streak. He

705
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 5: won three big games in a row. But we saw

706
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 5: Davis Mills start seventeen games, they won three of them.

707
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 3: That's how I got c J.

708
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 5: Stroud in the first place, Right, I think CJ. Stroud

709
00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 5: is a good enough quarterback. He passes my quarterback manosa

710
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 5: line of a guy who I am not.

711
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:22,720
Speaker 3: So what do you feel about the Texans?

712
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 4: Just do you think they have a shot to get

713
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 4: to the AFC Championship Game.

714
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:29,960
Speaker 5: I think in this AFC as wide open as it is,

715
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 5: I'm looking at elite units.

716
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 3: The Texans defense is an elite unit. I agree right.

717
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 5: With all these teams that have all these flaws. I

718
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:40,760
Speaker 5: think the Texas defense is elite. And if you have

719
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 5: an elite one side of the ball as open as

720
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 5: it is, I can't say I think they can get

721
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 5: to the AFC Championship Game for sure, especially winning that division.

722
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:54,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree with you there with the cause their

723
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 4: defense is definitely special.

724
00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 3: All right, can't believe it?

725
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:03,640
