A lot 6 00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:27,600 Speaker 1: of the good parties are probably canceled due to COVID 7 00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:30,040 Speaker 1: or I'm just not cool enough. But I'm probably gonna 8 00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:32,120 Speaker 1: rock to Cobra Kai that I did last year. It 9 00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:34,720 Speaker 1: was a winner. Everybody loves Cobra Kai. Great show coming 10 00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:37,920 Speaker 1: back soon. Um. But I'm getting ahead of myself because 11 00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:41,280 Speaker 1: this was a phenomenal weekend on a lot of fronts. 12 00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:44,080 Speaker 1: Not exactly on the gambling front in the NFL, just 13 00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,680 Speaker 1: a tough weekend. Um, we'll get to that later. Uh. 14 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:49,680 Speaker 1: You know the Dodgers getting knocked out of the postseason. 15 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:53,600 Speaker 1: They had their chances. Um, it's stunk Dodgers eliminated. So 16 00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:57,480 Speaker 1: now we're looking at a Braves Astros World series, and uh, 17 00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:59,319 Speaker 1: I am a good company man at Fox. I will 18 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,880 Speaker 1: say watch it. It's gonna be great. We'll talk about 19 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:06,759 Speaker 1: a lot, probably not on the podcast. Uh. This week Um, yeah, 20 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,920 Speaker 1: so baseball happened. College football, I guess there were games. 21 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 1: I had a couple of soccer games for my kids. 22 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 1: I didn't really see any of it. And I'm so 23 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 1: into the my daughter's soccer team. Remember last year, we 24 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 1: didn't win a game. This year, we're really good, the 25 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,560 Speaker 1: exact same team basically, except we got one other one 26 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 1: really good player. Uh and we weren't able to draft 27 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:31,480 Speaker 1: this player who's not as strong. And um, we're like 28 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:33,319 Speaker 1: one of the four best teams out of like twenty. 29 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 1: So me and my daughter and a couple of her 30 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 1: friends went to like scout the number one team, the 31 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 1: only team to beat us, and just for fun, you know, 32 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,679 Speaker 1: and we're the other coaches know us, and we're like 33 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:44,960 Speaker 1: a team that the referees don't like because our girls 34 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 1: are aggressive. We lost every game last year, Okay, we 35 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 1: gotta win some games. So it was a fun weekend. 36 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 1: My buddy, my buddy had a birthday. We went and celebrated. 37 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 1: That's the guy with the Lakers season tickets. Um, it 38 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 1: was just it was just all around a good weekend. 39 00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 1: And then Sunday comes along and I'm all excited and 40 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 1: my buddy Dan's like so, Jay, who do you have this? 41 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 1: Who who are your big plays this week? And I 42 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,639 Speaker 1: heard the pod and I said, well, I'm on Tampa. 43 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 1: That was the first bet I gave out earlier this 44 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 1: week on the pod. And I really like the Eagles 45 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 1: and I really like the Chiefs, and folks, I will 46 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:21,799 Speaker 1: say unequivocally, the biggest surprise so far in the NFL 47 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:27,119 Speaker 1: season was Tennessee twenty seven Kansas City three. I don't 48 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 1: think there's even any wiggle room. Like Houston won their 49 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,079 Speaker 1: season opener over Jacksonville, but Jacksonville won one game last year. 50 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 1: And you could probably nitpick a couple other games that 51 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,520 Speaker 1: were surprises. Buffalo beating the crap out of Tennessee, I'm sorry, 52 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 1: Buffalo beating the crap out of Kansas City a couple 53 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 1: of weeks ago. Surprise, folks, Tennessee smothered Kansas City. I 54 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 1: kind of felt like, okay, seven nothing, Okay, we gotta 55 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 1: chance at four team nothing. Okay, that's not looking great. 56 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 1: Uh it's twenty one nothing. What the hell is going on? 57 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:02,640 Speaker 1: And at this point, I feel like on many Mondays, 58 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:06,399 Speaker 1: we've talked a lot about the Kansas City Chiefs because 59 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 1: they can't get their act together. And I'm not going 60 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,919 Speaker 1: overboard here. If you want to do an exercise right now. 61 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 1: And I would never say stop listening to the podcast, 62 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 1: but while you're listening, call up the chief schedule and 63 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 1: take a gander and take a gander at some of 64 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 1: the surprising teams in the a f C. Right now, 65 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,639 Speaker 1: you've got the Las Vegas Raiders, Rob G's team. But 66 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 1: he's gonna really get excited about soon. I know he is. 67 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 1: He's gonna. I'm gonna give him the floor for like 68 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 1: thirty seconds to talk about the Raiders killing the Eagles, 69 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 1: and it was a killing. Despite the small victory by 70 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 1: eleven um. You see some teams popping. The Cincinnati Bengals. 71 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 1: Big surprise out of me. I'm stunned the way they 72 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 1: man handled and I do mean man handled the Baltimore 73 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 1: Ravens in Baltimore, folks, this is what people thought. Oh, 74 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 1: you know last week justin Herbert went to Baltimore. Everybody's 75 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 1: like Chargers, They're gonna hang Chargers got destroyed. Herbert did nothing. 76 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow, also from that draft class, goes in super 77 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 1: impressive performance. The Bengals are for real, folks. They got 78 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 1: a D u, Joe Burrow, Jamar Chase, Jamar Chases, whoa 79 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 1: boys nice? Remember how it was a story when they 80 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,720 Speaker 1: were like, how caught the Bengals draft Jamar Chase? So 81 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 1: they need panay Sewell, Hello, Kyle Pitts and Jamaar Chase 82 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:27,480 Speaker 1: are looking like really strong rookies who are going to 83 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,359 Speaker 1: be a problem for the league. And you look around 84 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 1: the rest of the a f C. And I'm just 85 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 1: saying the Kansas City Chiefs, who got there, and we 86 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 1: could say this now accurately, they got their doors blown 87 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 1: off by Tennessee, which doesn't have a secondary, which doesn't 88 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,160 Speaker 1: have a defense. I mean, Josh Allen and the Bills 89 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 1: went up and down the field like it was nothing. 90 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 1: Last week, hell six days ago, well seven days ago, 91 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 1: but six days before the Chiefs game, the Buffalo Bills 92 00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 1: offensive juggernaut, the Kansas City Chiefs scored three points. And 93 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:04,280 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna get all crazy and existential and talk 94 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,719 Speaker 1: about Patrick Mahomes and all this nonsense. My Homes was 95 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 1: not great. I'll let Rob g who is an a 96 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 1: f C West guy, go in on Mahomes. He does 97 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 1: uh share the lead lead for interceptions with Zach Wilson, 98 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,280 Speaker 1: the rookie of my Jets, Zach Wilson, who's gonna be 99 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 1: out a minute with his knee injury. And I'm not 100 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 1: I may or may not go in on the frigging 101 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 1: Patriots taken out Zach Wilson. Dirty shit. I had a 102 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 1: viral tweet on the injury, like back to back plays 103 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,480 Speaker 1: where they just killed Wilson's name. No flags, of course, 104 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,480 Speaker 1: the Patriots. I don't want to go off on a tangent, 105 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:39,599 Speaker 1: but I think we're looking at this chief schedule and 106 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,159 Speaker 1: you're like, huh, they're three and four. We know they're 107 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,840 Speaker 1: gonna beat the Giants next weekend, like they're gonna be 108 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:49,920 Speaker 1: heavy favorites, and it's unlikely sae Quan and everybody else 109 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 1: is gonna come back. But then you see Packers. Then 110 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:54,480 Speaker 1: you're like a trip to the Raiders and last year 111 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 1: that was tough. Writers played them very tough, beat him 112 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 1: last year once. Then they host the how Boys, who 113 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,599 Speaker 1: I think we can agree our top three team in 114 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 1: the NFC, probably top five team in the NFL. Broncos stink. 115 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 1: Then there's another one, the Raiders Chargers, and then you 116 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,600 Speaker 1: kind of you got the Bengals they're Steelers. We don't 117 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,799 Speaker 1: know what they're gonna be. Let's see how healthy they are, Broncos. 118 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 1: There is a scenario where the Kansas City Chiefs sputter 119 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 1: if they there's not a lot of wiggle room if 120 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 1: like Kelsey gets hurt of Tyreek Hill gets hurt, where 121 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 1: the Chiefs to miss the playoffs. And I know that's unfathomable. 122 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 1: I'm not saying they're going to miss the playoffs, but 123 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,920 Speaker 1: there is a scenario exists right now that they missed 124 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:34,920 Speaker 1: the playoffs. The a f C is a lot stronger 125 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 1: than we anticipated. We knew it was better than the 126 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:40,920 Speaker 1: NFC marginally at the top with the Buffalo in Kansas City. 127 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 1: Everybody thought they were the two best teams coming into 128 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,920 Speaker 1: the season right and after that the NFC was kind 129 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,920 Speaker 1: of stacked. But you look at the a f C 130 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,600 Speaker 1: now and all of a sudden, it's like, is Kansas 131 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,359 Speaker 1: City and lock folks. Kansas City has the same record 132 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:58,840 Speaker 1: as New England and Indianapolis. Like, some weird things are 133 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 1: happening in the NFL and the Kansas City Chiefs right now, 134 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 1: they're struggling. Listen, they got Chris Jones back on the defensive, line, 135 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 1: They're like, all right, we got Chris Jones. Defensive problem solved. No. Unfortunately, 136 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 1: I watched that Tennessee game because I kept thinking, Okay, 137 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 1: we got a chance to cover. You know, they just 138 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 1: gotta they just gotta get the ball, get one stop, 139 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 1: you know, a pick six, and turn a Tannehill turn over. 140 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 1: The problems Tannehill and the Titans were eight for twelve 141 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 1: and third down they just could not be stopped. Because 142 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 1: Kansas City's defense is a joke. Anytime Tannehill was in trouble, 143 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 1: he threw up to a J. Brown and guess what. 144 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 1: A J. Brown beats his defender. They were down twenty 145 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 1: seven nothing. The Chiefs were largest deficit of mahomes career, 146 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 1: fewest points Kansas City scorts since two thousand and twelve. 147 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 1: Mahomes down six straight games with an interception, the longest 148 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 1: of his career. And I don't think people realize just 149 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 1: how odd this is that Mahomes is struggling. He had 150 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 1: eleven interceptions combined in the last two seasons. He has 151 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:04,120 Speaker 1: nine this year, and you start to wonder, what you know, 152 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 1: Mahomes came out of the Big twelve. He was making 153 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 1: a lot of Yolo plays in the Big Twelve where 154 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 1: they played Arena league defense, and I'm not I'm not 155 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 1: ready to go there and say my homes is not amazing. 156 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 1: But if you forget last year on the road to 157 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 1: the super Bowl, it was like, Okay, this guy's made 158 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 1: a super Bowl, m v P an m v P, 159 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 1: two Super Bowls, an NFC championship in his first three 160 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:34,560 Speaker 1: freaking seasons. He's on the Brady pace, right, And that 161 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,479 Speaker 1: was an okay, understandable take because of what he'd accomplished 162 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 1: in the first three seasons. Nobody can really argue that 163 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:44,720 Speaker 1: it's irrefutable. First three seasons dominant, and here we are 164 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 1: in year four. You've given him all the money you 165 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 1: had to. He's a superstar. You have an offensive line 166 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 1: that is crumbling like a like a wat of paper. 167 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 1: You know, you take a wat of paper, you crumble 168 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 1: it up out of frustration, throw it at the trash can. 169 00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 1: That's what the Chief's offensive line looks like right now. 170 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 1: And defense, again, the cornerback stink, the safety stake bad angles, 171 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:08,840 Speaker 1: they cannot get pressure on the quarterback. I mean again, 172 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 1: I know Tennessee didn't score in the second half, but 173 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 1: the foot was off the gas once. Mahomes had those 174 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 1: unfortunate turnovers and listen, I'm gonna call them unfortunately some 175 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 1: of them. We know turnovers are lucky, right, is it? 176 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 1: Is it really Patrick Mahomes fault that he's scrambling he 177 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,240 Speaker 1: peels off fifteen yards and then and then the ball 178 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,959 Speaker 1: gets stripped and it's a fumble, Like is that really? 179 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:34,960 Speaker 1: Is that unlucky? Like the guy had to poke it 180 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 1: out perfectly, Mahomes was protecting. It just came out. He 181 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 1: lost it in the first half. And then he throws 182 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:43,199 Speaker 1: a great pass. It's kind of batted off the receiver, 183 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 1: off the defender, and it's intercepted. Like it wasn't a 184 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:49,080 Speaker 1: terrible pass. It wasn't like he's throwing it right to 185 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 1: the opponent, like like you had that one MISQ in Washington, 186 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:56,319 Speaker 1: Like this was just kind of unlucky. H Tyreek Hill. 187 00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,440 Speaker 1: I believe he and I was watching this closely. He 188 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,360 Speaker 1: had no touches in the first half, Like the Kansas 189 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 1: City Chiefs had fifty three yards in the first half. 190 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 1: That's not read Like that's not Mahomes. Like they got 191 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,320 Speaker 1: some problems and can they fix it? Yeah, they should 192 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 1: be able to fix it for the Giants. I'm telling 193 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,960 Speaker 1: you right now, I cannot bet on Patrick Mahomes this week. Guys. 194 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,959 Speaker 1: There have been some els. Um. I took an L 195 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 1: on the Ravens, betting on the Chiefs. I took an 196 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 1: L betting on the Bill against the Bills and now 197 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,720 Speaker 1: against Titans. So I've had enough of my Patrick Mahomes film. 198 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:33,600 Speaker 1: And he took a pretty gnarly hit at the end 199 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:35,320 Speaker 1: of that game, was knocked out. They said he's fine 200 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:39,080 Speaker 1: concussion protocol. No thank you on the Kansas City Chiefs. 201 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,560 Speaker 1: But Rob is an a f C West guy. You 202 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 1: must be absolutely thrilled that Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid 203 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:50,720 Speaker 1: are stinking up the joint and you are all alone 204 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:55,480 Speaker 1: at the top of the a f C. West. I 205 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,440 Speaker 1: don't know if thrilled is the word I would use 206 00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 1: to me. Was that not exciting it off? No, I 207 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 1: mean it's just, you know, I like watching good football 208 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 1: for a long time. The Chiefs played really good football. Um. However, 209 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 1: I didn't notice there at the end of your little 210 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 1: soliloquy that you're starting to come around to my line 211 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:17,199 Speaker 1: of thinking that maybe Pat Mahomes this is who he is, 212 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 1: you know, like he is Mahomes given seven stretch. Look, 213 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 1: it's not just the seven game stretch. He has sixteen 214 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 1: interceptions last sixteen games. All right, he has thrown in 215 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 1: interception and I believe each of his last six six games. 216 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 1: I don't know if the Super Bowl, well maybe not 217 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:43,080 Speaker 1: the season opener, but anyways, he has eleven turnovers this season, 218 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:47,840 Speaker 1: the most by any quarterback, including Zach Wilson, including Trevor Lawrence, 219 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 1: including Justin Fields, who looked terrible on Sunday. Look look 220 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 1: at that. This is a low blow in adjusted Fields. Like, 221 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 1: he's just over there in the quarter Hey, I had 222 00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,240 Speaker 1: to face the bucks and he just gets a kidney 223 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 1: shot from Rob g That was like, man, this is 224 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 1: not a blip. This is not just a patch of 225 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:06,440 Speaker 1: bad play. This is who he is. I tried telling 226 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:11,720 Speaker 1: you last week. Last season, Pat Mahomes had twenty three 227 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:15,120 Speaker 1: turnover worthy plays, like you mentioned, though a lot of 228 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 1: time it's luck, and he lucked out because he only 229 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:21,080 Speaker 1: had actually eight actual turnovers. So in his the ball 230 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,040 Speaker 1: bounced in his favor a lot last season. This season, 231 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 1: all of that luck has tipped the other direction. All 232 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 1: of those balls that kind of fell harmlessly to the turf, 233 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,839 Speaker 1: or that uh Tyreek Hill catches on a ricochet, or 234 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 1: if you know, uh mcole Hardman gets it off of 235 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,720 Speaker 1: some guy's foot and gets like twenty more extra yards. 236 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 1: All of that's done. Now those turnover worthy plays are 237 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 1: becoming actual turnovers for Pat Mahomes. Look, if you don't 238 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:51,319 Speaker 1: believe me, believe David Carr, former number one overall pick. 239 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,440 Speaker 1: And now I watch the NFL network. He writes this 240 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 1: weekly column talking about, you know, the top ten offensive players, 241 00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:01,280 Speaker 1: and usually before he lists his top send, he'll do 242 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,839 Speaker 1: a little rant about a handful of guys. This is 243 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 1: what he said about Pat Mahomes. The downside of his 244 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 1: game is starting to catch up to him. And then 245 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:17,280 Speaker 1: he continues, it's similar to facing Brett Farve. Defenses knew 246 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:19,680 Speaker 1: he was going to give them three or four real 247 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 1: opportunity to make a play, but he'd also give his 248 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:25,719 Speaker 1: own weapons twenty opportunities are their own. I feel like 249 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:27,960 Speaker 1: David Carr stole my take, all right, because that's exactly 250 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 1: what I told you guys last week. Pat Mahomes for 251 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:34,319 Speaker 1: all of his talent, and he has got prodigious talent. 252 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,720 Speaker 1: He was like I said, and you said, right, now 253 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:42,080 Speaker 1: on pace to be the greatest quarterback ever. He's not 254 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,840 Speaker 1: off pace for that, by the way, Okay, is he? 255 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 1: Uh No, I mean he's still historically he's still on track. 256 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 1: But he was on track not just on the winning 257 00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,840 Speaker 1: like Tom Brady, you know, collecting rings a FC championship 258 00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,439 Speaker 1: game every single season, but also in the way that 259 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 1: he plays the position in the same way that Aaron 260 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,320 Speaker 1: Rodgers and Da Marine or talked about as the greatest 261 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 1: of all time because they throw the ball better than 262 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,439 Speaker 1: anybody has ever thrown it. And Pat Mahomes was the 263 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:14,439 Speaker 1: best of both worlds. And now suddenly people are starting 264 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 1: to see that. You know, maybe he's not that guy. 265 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:21,880 Speaker 1: Maybe you know, he is an all time great. Maybe 266 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:25,080 Speaker 1: he's top ten, maybe he's top eight, maybe he's top fifteen. 267 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 1: But you know, maybe number one is a little bit 268 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 1: too lofty. Maybe we got ahead of ourselves. Maybe he 269 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 1: got a lot of fortunate breaks throughout his career and 270 00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:36,800 Speaker 1: now it's starting to catch up to him. Yeah, that's 271 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 1: just a bridge too far. It's the offensive. This is 272 00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 1: a problem. We know this. The NFL is structured to 273 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,640 Speaker 1: deliver parity. That's what it's death what it does, Unlike 274 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 1: Major League Baseball where it's like, you know, I had 275 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 1: some I'm on a text chain with some Dodgers fans 276 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 1: and they're like, man, the Dodgers are gonna have to 277 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:56,680 Speaker 1: break the bank for to keep Chris Taylor and like that. Like, dude, bro, 278 00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 1: there's no cap, there's no salary cap. Just spend whatever 279 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 1: you want, like they can match whatever and they'll keep whoever. 280 00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 1: It doesn't work like that. The NFL just doesn't. It's 281 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:08,840 Speaker 1: not how it works. The Chiefs had to give Patrick 282 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 1: Mahomes all the money, and they gotta start to clear 283 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,120 Speaker 1: up cap room. We saw it in the Super Bowl. 284 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,960 Speaker 1: The offensive line was beat to hell. Guess what they 285 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 1: had to let a bunch of dudes go. And oh man, 286 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 1: the defense is putride. They can't they can't pay anybody 287 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 1: like never Chris Jones and Honey Badger and like name 288 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 1: their linebackers. I know Willie Gay had had a nice 289 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:31,760 Speaker 1: interception there in the red zone to save face. But 290 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:35,320 Speaker 1: they don't make tackles, they're not doing anything. They're really 291 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 1: just a bad defense and all around. Honestly, this is 292 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,160 Speaker 1: a team, this is Kansas City Chiefs team that we 293 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,320 Speaker 1: really start. We gotta start asking the question, are the 294 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,880 Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs a lock for the playoffs? Because as 295 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:50,040 Speaker 1: as of right now, Rob, when you look at the standings, 296 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:53,600 Speaker 1: like they're definitely not a lock, and the schedule is tough, 297 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 1: there's so little room for errors. Tyreek Hill asked him, 298 00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 1: miss two games, you know what Byron Pringle is gonna deliver? Like, 299 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:01,840 Speaker 1: I just I don't. I don't. I don't know about 300 00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 1: them right now. I'm worried about the Chiefs. It's not 301 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 1: great for the NFL because, as you said, they're really 302 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:09,440 Speaker 1: fun to watch. But besides Patrick Mahomes some of the 303 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,920 Speaker 1: other fun storylines, I will just you know, pour them out. 304 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 1: For my guy, Zack Wilson of the Jets, he got 305 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:20,480 Speaker 1: his knee all bangled. He's not dead, although it feels 306 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,120 Speaker 1: like the Jets are dead. But they're in better shape 307 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:27,400 Speaker 1: than the Miami Dolphins, who are absolutely garbage. Fox Sports 308 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,160 Speaker 1: Radio has the best sports talk lineup in the nation. 309 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 1: Catch all of our shows at Fox Sports Radio dot 310 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 1: com and within the I Heart Radio app search f 311 00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,960 Speaker 1: s R to listen live. A lot of people pointed 312 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 1: it out. I did as well. The Miami Dolphins won 313 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 1: ten games last year, then they were like Oh, we're close. 314 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 1: We're close, man, We're so you know what, let's give 315 00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:54,440 Speaker 1: up our first round pick because we're gonna be good again. 316 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,200 Speaker 1: We're gonna playoffs. Him, it's gonna be in the twenties. 317 00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:58,760 Speaker 1: Let's move up in the draft and let's go grab 318 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 1: Jillen Waddle. What that's that's that sound? Maybe a final 319 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:06,320 Speaker 1: missing piece? Really gotta we got a gadget guy who um, 320 00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:07,960 Speaker 1: you can do a lot of things. We can bubble 321 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 1: screens deep over the middle. Oh, Jaylen Waddles a guy. 322 00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:14,920 Speaker 1: And the Dolphins are now one in six and it's 323 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 1: not I don't want to hear the old They're close. 324 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,720 Speaker 1: They have a minus eighty point differential, third worst in 325 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:23,000 Speaker 1: the a f C. They've lost sixth straight. Their lone 326 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:27,119 Speaker 1: wind came when Damian Harris fumbled inside the tent when 327 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 1: the Patriots are going to win the game. Okay, so 328 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,000 Speaker 1: I don't want to hear this. The Dolphins are closed. 329 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 1: The Dolphins stink. Okay, every defensive back they have was 330 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 1: getting lit up by rookie cow Pits, and I just 331 00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:42,320 Speaker 1: I gotta say this to Shaun Watson. Thing had to 332 00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:44,120 Speaker 1: get into the head of two a tonguo by lower. 333 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:47,280 Speaker 1: He had an awful interception that he was getting pilloried for. 334 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,600 Speaker 1: And folks, they go to the Buffalo Bills this week. 335 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:55,359 Speaker 1: They are nearly two touchdown underdogs. They get a respite 336 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,760 Speaker 1: after that against the Texans, but they still have the 337 00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:01,159 Speaker 1: Ravens and they gotta face the Saints. They got the 338 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:04,080 Speaker 1: Patriots again, like they're they're probably like a six win team. 339 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,679 Speaker 1: But the Miami Dolphins right now are total garbage. And 340 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,520 Speaker 1: this to Shaun Watson stuff robbed to me, this is 341 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:14,399 Speaker 1: utterly fascinating. I'm watching red zone and they cut to 342 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:17,679 Speaker 1: Greg Gumble, who's calling. I don't know which game he 343 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,439 Speaker 1: was called, maybe the Houston Texans Arizona game, which was 344 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 1: unbelievably unwatchable. And Greg Gumble says, yeah, there's all this 345 00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:29,680 Speaker 1: talk that the Panthers might get in the mix for um, 346 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,160 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson. You know Sam Donald stinking up the joint. 347 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 1: Sam Donald got benched. I don't even know. There's so 348 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:35,640 Speaker 1: many NFL stories. I don't even know if we'll get 349 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 1: to that. And we will talk about Lakers later, yes 350 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:43,399 Speaker 1: we will. Um, maybe the Panthers get involved. But and 351 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 1: Greg Gumble, the announcer for CBS without citing a source, says, 352 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 1: but the only team Deshaun Watson will accept the trade 353 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,200 Speaker 1: to right now is the Dolphins. Just says a matter 354 00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:55,120 Speaker 1: of fact, like he spoke to DeShawn Watson or spoke 355 00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,480 Speaker 1: to someone in the Texas just says that, doesn't say 356 00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:02,080 Speaker 1: according to Ian Rappaport, our Breer or whoever, just says that, 357 00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:05,520 Speaker 1: And I'm like, what is this new? So I had 358 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,560 Speaker 1: to look around and according to the same guy who 359 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 1: kind of was all over it last week, John mcclin, 360 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:14,240 Speaker 1: not die hards, John mcclin, Bruce Willis, uh we're talking 361 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:18,359 Speaker 1: about John mcclin of the Houston Chronicle is saying, as 362 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:24,040 Speaker 1: of now, that's the only place that Deshaun Watson will 363 00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,880 Speaker 1: accept a trade from. And it's like, WHOA. I mean, 364 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:31,159 Speaker 1: I was blissfully unaware of this, rob And if I'm 365 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,919 Speaker 1: the Houston Texas, I've absolutely bent out of shape. And 366 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 1: I'm like, whoa, why how do we not get an 367 00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:38,919 Speaker 1: invite to this party? Can we get invited to the 368 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:42,160 Speaker 1: no pants party? Because that's what it feels like, that's wrong, 369 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:45,320 Speaker 1: that's out of pounds. I know. I've been sitting on 370 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:47,639 Speaker 1: that one for a couple of weeks. Come on, um, 371 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:51,160 Speaker 1: But according to John McLean in the Houston Chronicle, Deshaun 372 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,480 Speaker 1: Watson has a no trade clause, which you know, he 373 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 1: rejected the Eagles. The only destination he's approved so far 374 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:05,800 Speaker 1: is Miami. Now that US Sunday at PM. He rejected 375 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:07,240 Speaker 1: the Eagles. I guess he doesn't want to go to 376 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,520 Speaker 1: filthy Delphia. Just kidding, just kidding, all my Philly people listening. 377 00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:14,800 Speaker 1: I used to live out there. Um nice area. I'm 378 00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:16,800 Speaker 1: not going to comment on the city at any rate. 379 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,720 Speaker 1: This Deshaun Watson stuff. It sounds like, with the trade 380 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:21,880 Speaker 1: deadline approaching in the next two weeks, like something's gonna 381 00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,720 Speaker 1: go down, and if you're the Miami Dolphins right now, 382 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,800 Speaker 1: like you gotta back up the brinks and get to 383 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 1: Shaun Watson because they have nothing in two Uh. I 384 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:33,080 Speaker 1: don't care that any threw four touchdowns and people are 385 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 1: gonna look at the numbers and be like, oh, look 386 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:39,240 Speaker 1: like eight of his past is awesome job to Sean Sorry, 387 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,960 Speaker 1: awesome job to a se completions four touchdowns. It's not 388 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:46,800 Speaker 1: to his fault. I mean, if you're watching these games, 389 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,600 Speaker 1: they're giving him dink and dunk City. It's like do 390 00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:51,600 Speaker 1: you want the small crap over the middle, you take it. 391 00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:54,680 Speaker 1: It's yours. We're talking about the athletic Falcons, guys. Do 392 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,680 Speaker 1: you know how bad the freaking Falcons are? They're terrible. 393 00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:01,240 Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts look like his freaking Joe Montana against these guys. 394 00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:09,680 Speaker 1: To ahead, one explosive pass, all game to Kiseki, everything else. 395 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:13,720 Speaker 1: Waddle under twenty yards. Somebody named smythe under twenty yards. 396 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 1: Somebody named Ahmed under twenty yards and I know it, 397 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:18,400 Speaker 1: just saying We'll wait a second. He's throwing a he's 398 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:22,800 Speaker 1: throwing off duty firefighters. Jay. Can we get Parker and 399 00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:26,119 Speaker 1: and um Preston Parker and Davante whatever his name is. 400 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,600 Speaker 1: Can we get that Parker? And who's the other guy? 401 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:31,919 Speaker 1: Preston Parker and Davante somebody might be both Parkers. Can 402 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 1: we get those guys back before we freak out? It's like, Yo, 403 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:38,320 Speaker 1: we're not talking about all pros here, Okay, let's settle down. 404 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 1: Let's just chill two or through two picks. He ain't 405 00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 1: inspiring confidence, and they've seen enough. It sounds like the 406 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,359 Speaker 1: ship has sailed. I think actually two is probably the 407 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:52,280 Speaker 1: second biggest story coming out of Sunday. Although some people 408 00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:56,320 Speaker 1: are gonna talk about Tom Brady's six touchdown pass, and 409 00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:58,919 Speaker 1: I said this early in the season. It's like, if 410 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:03,560 Speaker 1: you guys remember the Brady seasons in New England, there 411 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,440 Speaker 1: was like no storyline. We get it, he's the goat, 412 00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:10,960 Speaker 1: got it, He's gonna probably have all the records. Got 413 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 1: it through a six hundred touchdown. And you know what 414 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:17,280 Speaker 1: the talking point is, Mike Evans caught the six hundred 415 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:20,240 Speaker 1: touchdown pass. First guy was six. Mike Evans jumps in 416 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,159 Speaker 1: the stands like Lambo leapish, hands it to some dude 417 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:27,040 Speaker 1: and the announcers instantly are like, oh, whoa, whoa, wait 418 00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:29,920 Speaker 1: a minute, wait, six hundred touchdown past. I was gonna 419 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,960 Speaker 1: go in the glass case. Mike Evans just handed the 420 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 1: ball away. This is how And I'm not saying he's boring, 421 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:38,439 Speaker 1: but this is out boring. The Tom Brady story is 422 00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:43,920 Speaker 1: this became a thing. The Tom Bay Bucks then had 423 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 1: to send some like Trainer, one of Brady's guys, over 424 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:48,640 Speaker 1: to the fan and be like, hey, can we get 425 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:52,200 Speaker 1: that ball back? And you could see the negotiation, like 426 00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:54,959 Speaker 1: the Bears were so bad and this was the one 427 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:56,959 Speaker 1: bad I nailed which it was. It was a good hit. 428 00:22:57,840 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 1: It was twenty one nothing after the first quarter. I 429 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:01,439 Speaker 1: think the Bears are the first team to give up 430 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:03,520 Speaker 1: twenty one points in the first quarter of this season. 431 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,360 Speaker 1: It was over early. So the announcers Romo and Nance 432 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:10,240 Speaker 1: had a ton to talk about, and they like broke 433 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,359 Speaker 1: down with the telestrator. This dude lobbying for the ball 434 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,160 Speaker 1: and this meat ball in Tampa in the front row. 435 00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 1: It's like, oh, you need a bag, fine, here you go, 436 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:22,680 Speaker 1: and just gave it up. You know that ball is 437 00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:27,879 Speaker 1: probably worth What I don't know is anyone in NFL 438 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:31,920 Speaker 1: history ever gonna throw six hundred touchdown passes. Who's playing 439 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 1: until Oh, by the way, Brady ain't stopping anytime soon. 440 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,480 Speaker 1: He threw four more touchdowns. It's funny I saw the 441 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:42,000 Speaker 1: Remember I asked, I think on this pod Friday, like, 442 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:45,119 Speaker 1: who who's betting the Bears? No Antonio Brown, no Gronk. 443 00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 1: Do people forget? Like they still have Godwin and Evans. 444 00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:51,240 Speaker 1: Evans had three tuddies. If you faced him in fantasy, 445 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:55,720 Speaker 1: you lost Godwin eight one eleven touchdown Like they have 446 00:23:55,760 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 1: an embarrassment of riches and the Bears secondary blows goats 447 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:05,720 Speaker 1: by the way, Allen Robinson two catches, sixteen yards um 448 00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:09,400 Speaker 1: justin fields, three picks, four sacked four times. I told 449 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:11,200 Speaker 1: you guys, this was gonna be like the Browns game, 450 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:14,879 Speaker 1: and they got killed. So the one really really accurate 451 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 1: when I had was Tampa Bay. I did hit on 452 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:19,639 Speaker 1: Green Bay, although some people would argue Washington was the 453 00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:21,919 Speaker 1: better side there, rob Are there any other huge stories 454 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,200 Speaker 1: in the NFL we missed on what was a pretty 455 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:28,680 Speaker 1: bad Sunday, Like, there was hardly any drama. I'm trying 456 00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:30,720 Speaker 1: to I'm looking at the scoreboard. I don't see any 457 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,520 Speaker 1: drama from any of those games like Atlanta Miami maybe, 458 00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:37,120 Speaker 1: but who gives a ship? Well, I'm surprised you kind 459 00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:39,840 Speaker 1: of left till we're what twenty minutes into this part. 460 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:41,960 Speaker 1: He didn't mention the biggest story of Sunday, which is 461 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:43,919 Speaker 1: the Raiders moving to two and oh without John Gruden. 462 00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:47,879 Speaker 1: I mean, Derek Carr playing like an m v P again. Look, 463 00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:49,600 Speaker 1: I don't want to say I told you so, but 464 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:51,320 Speaker 1: I told you so. I was ready to jump off 465 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:53,679 Speaker 1: to the cliff there for a second when the Grooden 466 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:55,760 Speaker 1: news came down. I was saying five and eleven, you 467 00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:58,000 Speaker 1: know five and twelve kind of season I had that reversed. 468 00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:03,600 Speaker 1: I meant eleven five. But actually there are two storylines 469 00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:05,960 Speaker 1: that kind of dovetail off of the two that you 470 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,400 Speaker 1: just brought up, one of them being the Deshaun Wattson situation. 471 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,840 Speaker 1: Now I saw the same John McClain report that you 472 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:15,679 Speaker 1: did that he has all eyes on Miami. But we 473 00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:19,679 Speaker 1: also saw late on Sunday from the Athletic that the 474 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:22,880 Speaker 1: Panthers are now ready to push all in for Deshaun Watson. 475 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 1: We had heard. I believe it was Albert brew who 476 00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:27,359 Speaker 1: told us in the off season keeping eye on Carolina, 477 00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:30,240 Speaker 1: keeping eye on Carolina, and they got off that three 478 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,520 Speaker 1: and oh start they move all in for Stefan Gilmore. 479 00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:34,879 Speaker 1: So you think, hey, they believe in Sam Donald. They 480 00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:36,960 Speaker 1: wouldn't make an all in move like this, a win 481 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:38,840 Speaker 1: now move, if they didn't believe they had something going 482 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:42,000 Speaker 1: with this guy. And the wheels have completely fallen off 483 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,720 Speaker 1: for Sam Donald. I mean, he's looking like New York Jets. 484 00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:48,600 Speaker 1: And again, I'm a big Sam Donald guy. It's tough 485 00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:50,400 Speaker 1: to defend him. At this point. I think they've lost 486 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,480 Speaker 1: four straight. He doesn't have McCaffrey McCaffrey is arguably a 487 00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:56,160 Speaker 1: top five offensive player in the league, right, yes, KEI, 488 00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 1: I mean he gets like nine targets a game. I 489 00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,119 Speaker 1: can't killed Donald, but he looks bad. I mean he 490 00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:03,879 Speaker 1: had a red zone pick that was like right to 491 00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 1: the defender, sixteen of twenty five for a hundred and 492 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:09,879 Speaker 1: eleven yards. Do you know how tough it is to 493 00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:13,040 Speaker 1: have twenty pass attempts and you complete sixteen for a 494 00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:17,400 Speaker 1: buck eleven? Like it just wasn't good. Chubble Hubbard killed 495 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:18,879 Speaker 1: me in fantasy, by the way, I did have a 496 00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:21,440 Speaker 1: good weekend in fantasy. So that that that there's that. 497 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,480 Speaker 1: But um, I don't know, Rob, I don't want to 498 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:26,440 Speaker 1: pivot too hard. We'll get to the best bet later. 499 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:28,880 Speaker 1: I don't want to on a Monday night football game 500 00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:32,400 Speaker 1: that borderline unwatchable. Um can I pivot to the NBA 501 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:34,960 Speaker 1: real quick? Rob, and and listen? I know you're good 502 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:38,600 Speaker 1: with that, Rob, And I like the NBA. Okay, NBA 503 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:43,479 Speaker 1: is so easy to talk any day. Honestly, if there 504 00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:46,159 Speaker 1: was a daily NBA podcast, there's a decent chance I 505 00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,840 Speaker 1: would I would like listen to some of them because 506 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:51,000 Speaker 1: you know, I know the season's eighty two games and 507 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,720 Speaker 1: nobody gives a shit about you know, seventy nine of 508 00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:58,239 Speaker 1: them basically. But for me, I'm personally interested like this 509 00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:02,040 Speaker 1: Kyrie Irving saga outside of Barclays and if you missed it, 510 00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:07,359 Speaker 1: um it got a little crazy. So you know, Kyrie 511 00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:09,119 Speaker 1: can't play home games at the NETS because of the 512 00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:13,640 Speaker 1: vaccine mandate, and there were a bunch of protesters. I'm 513 00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:17,960 Speaker 1: not gonna make it similar to the January sixth situation 514 00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:20,440 Speaker 1: because people died at that thing, uh in d C. 515 00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:25,080 Speaker 1: But you had a bunch of random dudes, although I'm 516 00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:27,639 Speaker 1: thinking it's not so random, showed up at the NETS 517 00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:32,479 Speaker 1: game protesting, let Kyrie play down with the mandates, and 518 00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 1: then they were like storming the castle a k a. 519 00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:40,080 Speaker 1: Storming Barclays, And there's video of like you know how 520 00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:42,200 Speaker 1: you go to an NBA or NFL game and there's 521 00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:45,080 Speaker 1: like ushers taking your tickets. Those guys were like under fire. 522 00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:47,159 Speaker 1: I was stunned, And I gotta say this. I went 523 00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,960 Speaker 1: to the Lakers season opener last week with a couple 524 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:53,439 Speaker 1: of buddies and there's cops everywhere. There's cops on horses 525 00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:56,840 Speaker 1: outside staples, Like there's cops everywhere. If anybody tried to 526 00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:00,960 Speaker 1: do anything dumb, the cops would regulate in instantly there 527 00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:03,680 Speaker 1: seemed to be zero police presidents at Barclays. It's almost 528 00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:05,720 Speaker 1: like they knew this was gonna be the case. And 529 00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:10,080 Speaker 1: it got a little harry. I was like, what's going on? 530 00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:13,560 Speaker 1: And then people started sending me on social media. Hey, 531 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:18,159 Speaker 1: this isn't like Kyrie Irving fans. This is like and 532 00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:20,199 Speaker 1: I'm not trying to make the podcast political. This is 533 00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:22,879 Speaker 1: like the right wing fringe who are showing up and 534 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:26,160 Speaker 1: make America great again, hats with American flags who don't 535 00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:28,920 Speaker 1: give a shit about Kyrie Irving or don't even know 536 00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:31,080 Speaker 1: like what his number is or any of his story. 537 00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:35,320 Speaker 1: They just know we can protest vaccines and mandates and 538 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:37,119 Speaker 1: let's go show up. And they had a bunch of 539 00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:40,719 Speaker 1: people show up. And it's a little troubling that this 540 00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:42,560 Speaker 1: went down. Now, the Nets ended up getting their butts 541 00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:47,280 Speaker 1: kicked by Alonzo Balls, Brother LaMelo LaMelo Balls showing out folks, 542 00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:49,880 Speaker 1: and the Hornets are three and O. And now this 543 00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:51,840 Speaker 1: is where I say, Okay, nobody cares about the NBA. 544 00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:55,000 Speaker 1: Nets wanted to start kind of clunky Harden not playing well. 545 00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:58,840 Speaker 1: They missed Kyrie Um and that'll do it for that. 546 00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:01,880 Speaker 1: But I do need to quickly point out Rob because 547 00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:03,360 Speaker 1: we are l A based and a lot of our 548 00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:06,280 Speaker 1: fans care about the Lakers. That l a despite one 549 00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:09,120 Speaker 1: of the dumbest fouls you will ever see from Ken 550 00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:15,720 Speaker 1: Baysmore the Lakers beat the grizzliesen late Sunday night. I 551 00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:18,480 Speaker 1: say dumb because the Lakers are up three, sha Morant's 552 00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:22,840 Speaker 1: attempting a three and bays Moore fouls him. Okay, it's 553 00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:27,320 Speaker 1: completely asinine. John Moran, who was incredible all night. Yeah, 554 00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:33,720 Speaker 1: Forty makes the first two misses the third and you 555 00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:37,120 Speaker 1: felt bad because John Morant it looks like and Rob, 556 00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:38,760 Speaker 1: I don't know how much you watch it this Sunday night, 557 00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:43,200 Speaker 1: after this Sunday night football ship show with the Niners 558 00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:47,040 Speaker 1: killing me and costing me money. Um, John Morant was 559 00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,920 Speaker 1: like at a different speed than the Lakers. He looks 560 00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:55,120 Speaker 1: like Russell Westbrook like ten years ago. Forty tennessis five 561 00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:57,160 Speaker 1: of seven from three. If he's making his three, it's 562 00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:00,320 Speaker 1: game over. He's gonna be a tough card the grizz least, 563 00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:01,880 Speaker 1: by the way, and I'm gonna point this out. I 564 00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:03,800 Speaker 1: know nobody's gonna care because it's the first week of 565 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:08,800 Speaker 1: NBA and who gives a ship. Dylan Brooks did not play. 566 00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:12,080 Speaker 1: He is a huge factor on that team. And I 567 00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:15,600 Speaker 1: know Dylan Brooks, Oregon Ducks guy. He is not afraid 568 00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:17,720 Speaker 1: of anybody. He will get up in Lebron's grill and 569 00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:21,280 Speaker 1: not back down. And now that the Lakers beat the Grizzlies, 570 00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:23,640 Speaker 1: and I've spent a minute on that game, I just 571 00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:26,640 Speaker 1: need to point out one of the coolest viral videos 572 00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:29,200 Speaker 1: that I saw over the weekend. I put on my 573 00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:36,080 Speaker 1: I G was um Lebron James and Cameron Payne of 574 00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:39,320 Speaker 1: the Phoenix Suns getting in a ship talking contest Friday night. 575 00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:42,960 Speaker 1: It got heated between the Suns and the Lakers. Also 576 00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:45,520 Speaker 1: between A d and Dwight Howard on the Lakers bench, 577 00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:49,600 Speaker 1: although it seems like they squashed that um no issues 578 00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:55,280 Speaker 1: Sunday night. But essentially Cameron Payne, you know, one of 579 00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:57,120 Speaker 1: my favorite was not one of my favorite rap line, 580 00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:59,440 Speaker 1: but I liked the rap line major pain, like Damon 581 00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:02,719 Speaker 1: Wayen's low down dirty you know, big big Ea smalls. Anyways, 582 00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:06,960 Speaker 1: Cameron Payne is joining at Lebron who's on the bench 583 00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:11,040 Speaker 1: as his sons are up and Lebron's like, Bro, you 584 00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:13,320 Speaker 1: were not in the league a year and a half ago, 585 00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:16,160 Speaker 1: what are you talking about? You better stay humble, And 586 00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:20,680 Speaker 1: then he started saying expletives and a couple of racial slurs. 587 00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:26,240 Speaker 1: But um, listen, it got me thinking, like, listen, Lebron 588 00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:30,680 Speaker 1: turns thirty seven in December. Lebron's run rough shot over 589 00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:35,360 Speaker 1: this league for two decades. And if the Lakers kind 590 00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:39,600 Speaker 1: of get off to a rough start here, and I 591 00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:41,080 Speaker 1: don't want to say, listen, they're not gonna be in 592 00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:44,640 Speaker 1: jeopardy of missing the playoffs unless injuries wrecked this team. 593 00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:48,480 Speaker 1: There is a world where a lot of the young 594 00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:54,720 Speaker 1: NBA guys start talking to Lebron because they know he's 595 00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:58,600 Speaker 1: near the end, and the trash talk picks up. And 596 00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:01,800 Speaker 1: like Lebron, he had a solid game against the Grizzlies, 597 00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:05,440 Speaker 1: a couple of big blocks. Um, it's weird he doesn't 598 00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:07,000 Speaker 1: have the ball in his hands as much. We'll do 599 00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:09,800 Speaker 1: this midweek because I know it's NFL Monday and nobody cares. 600 00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:12,280 Speaker 1: But Russell Westbrook has the ball in his hands a 601 00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:15,880 Speaker 1: lot now. And I don't know if Lebron's like frustrated, 602 00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:20,000 Speaker 1: but that's not gonna be a long term solution with 603 00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:22,360 Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook having the ball and Lebron not Okay, that's 604 00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,400 Speaker 1: just not gonna work. Westbrook, by the way, had nine 605 00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:28,200 Speaker 1: turnovers thirteen assists, but he played thirty seven minutes. He 606 00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:33,680 Speaker 1: still can't shoot. And I wonder if this guys coming 607 00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:37,560 Speaker 1: at Lebron being like, yo, you're thirty seven, You're cooked there. 608 00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:42,600 Speaker 1: I follow some really nerdy basketball play accounts, like where 609 00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:45,000 Speaker 1: they call out horns and then they run the set, 610 00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:46,960 Speaker 1: like I follow some people who do that because I 611 00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:49,600 Speaker 1: coach youth basketball in the local league for my kid 612 00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:52,920 Speaker 1: my kids, and I want to be able to like 613 00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:54,680 Speaker 1: try to run some of those plays, although you know, 614 00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:57,400 Speaker 1: fifth graders probably can't understand that. And there was a 615 00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:01,160 Speaker 1: play the Sun's ran called horns, and you know, Lebron's 616 00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:03,640 Speaker 1: in the corner on Michael Bridges and they're lulling you 617 00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:06,120 Speaker 1: to sleep with a quick handoffs, handoffs, handoffs and then 618 00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:09,160 Speaker 1: Bridges cuts, and Lebron's like standing there in cement shoes, 619 00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:12,400 Speaker 1: and it was like damn, you know, like year old 620 00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:14,880 Speaker 1: Lebron catches Bridges and swat set. In the next week, 621 00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:18,440 Speaker 1: thirty six and a half year old Lebron gives up 622 00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:20,880 Speaker 1: the layout and looks kind of bad in the process. 623 00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:22,560 Speaker 1: And I'm not taking shots to Lebron. You don't. I'm 624 00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:25,160 Speaker 1: a big fan, but the reality is these thirty six 625 00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:28,680 Speaker 1: and a half and I wonder if we're gonna hear 626 00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:32,040 Speaker 1: a lot of jaw jacking in the direction of the 627 00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:36,120 Speaker 1: greatest basketball player in NBA history. Yes, Rob, I will 628 00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:40,280 Speaker 1: send it to you on that Wait is tvf Dude, 629 00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:42,640 Speaker 1: I really appreciate it. Let me just say, America, don't 630 00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:44,640 Speaker 1: let Jason fool you. He's just like, hey, I don't 631 00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:46,760 Speaker 1: know if you saw the game last night. Contrary to 632 00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:48,880 Speaker 1: what you might think, we do talk and do like 633 00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:52,120 Speaker 1: pre show meetings before we actually started recording the podcast, 634 00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:54,680 Speaker 1: and we were both watching the game at the same 635 00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:57,640 Speaker 1: time when we started talking about this morning show. The 636 00:33:57,680 --> 00:33:59,800 Speaker 1: problem is I'm on a delay from where I'm watching 637 00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:01,840 Speaker 1: and he's watching it on cable. So he's like, oh, 638 00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:04,040 Speaker 1: did you see what happened right there? Oh? Bath foul. 639 00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:06,640 Speaker 1: Bath's like, you're like a minute in front of me, 640 00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:08,799 Speaker 1: and it is ruining the game for me. So as 641 00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:11,080 Speaker 1: somebody as you know that we both watched last night's 642 00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:14,400 Speaker 1: game as washed as Lebron looked defensively against Phoenix. You 643 00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:16,399 Speaker 1: cannot tell me that he didn't have some highlight, real 644 00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:18,920 Speaker 1: defensive blaze. He had to bounce back Sunday and night. 645 00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:21,520 Speaker 1: These guys have rabbit ears, Rob. You know that. They 646 00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:23,239 Speaker 1: can all say, I don't listen to podcast, I don't 647 00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:25,719 Speaker 1: read Twitter, I don't read the Instagram. They do at 648 00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:27,719 Speaker 1: least that's on their phone. They grew up the phone. Yeah, 649 00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:31,160 Speaker 1: they see all of it. Yeah, I mean it's early 650 00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:33,359 Speaker 1: in the season. I do think that the Lakers kind 651 00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:36,160 Speaker 1: of stumbled upon something, whether they wanted to or not, 652 00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:38,640 Speaker 1: is that they play better when they're small. Like they 653 00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:41,200 Speaker 1: the whole double big lineup is just not gonna work. 654 00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:46,840 Speaker 1: DeAndre Jordan's is ultrawashed and until they get back th 655 00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:50,719 Speaker 1: ht none and Theresa the problem. That sounds weird to say, 656 00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:52,560 Speaker 1: but the problem is I don't think they have enough 657 00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:56,960 Speaker 1: guys to play small for that long. Reeves, Austin Reeves, 658 00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:59,360 Speaker 1: he's the new Crusoe man. He's replacing the ball and 659 00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:01,080 Speaker 1: I don't know if to get dunked though, yeah, I 660 00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:03,840 Speaker 1: don't think. Yeah, he had a couple of like fast 661 00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:07,440 Speaker 1: break and yeah, he's he's like I don't know if 662 00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:09,600 Speaker 1: he's the new Cruso. I actually think Carmelo is kind 663 00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:13,440 Speaker 1: of the new Caruso. The fans love this guy. I mean, 664 00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:17,239 Speaker 1: Carmelo does everything that you would hoped Kyle Kuzma would do, 665 00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:19,840 Speaker 1: and that is hit open jump shots. That's all you 666 00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:23,080 Speaker 1: got to do just to be just to be ingratiated 667 00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:25,320 Speaker 1: with the Laker faithful and you're a role player. Just 668 00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:27,080 Speaker 1: hit your open shots and they're gonna love you for it. 669 00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:33,480 Speaker 1: U the best bet um. Dave On Mitchell had a night. 670 00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:37,120 Speaker 1: I love this kid off off night. Remember that's the nickname, dude. 671 00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:43,000 Speaker 1: He is Noice twenty two against Golden State, but they 672 00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:46,919 Speaker 1: lost the Warriors Steph Curry seven and ten. Now, now 673 00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:49,640 Speaker 1: he didn't shoot well. Uh the highlights house saw davy 674 00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:52,040 Speaker 1: On Mitchell was on him a lot, not all the 675 00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:55,280 Speaker 1: time because he guarded some Jordan Pool. Uh Curry only 676 00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:59,040 Speaker 1: nine four or fifteen from deep and ten Warriors three 677 00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:01,439 Speaker 1: and oh and you guys know, I got a soft 678 00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:03,360 Speaker 1: spot for Curry. I'll try to get him on the 679 00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:05,279 Speaker 1: pods since he was the first guest I've ever had. 680 00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:07,719 Speaker 1: But now he's a global superstar going on OPRAH, So 681 00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:10,000 Speaker 1: it's unlikely. He's coming on Straight Fire, one of the 682 00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:13,960 Speaker 1: most popular NBA podcasts that exists. Also, if you look 683 00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:17,319 Speaker 1: in the gambling table on iTunes, we're all over that. 684 00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:20,239 Speaker 1: We're like one of the top gambling podcasts. Uh, let's 685 00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:22,720 Speaker 1: just not talk about what happened over the weekend. Fox 686 00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:25,840 Speaker 1: Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in the nation. 687 00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:29,080 Speaker 1: Catch all of our shows at Fox sports Radio dot 688 00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:32,120 Speaker 1: com and within the I Heart Radio app search f 689 00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:37,520 Speaker 1: s R to listen live. The only thing better than 690 00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:41,760 Speaker 1: sitting on your couch watching the game. He's making money 691 00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:47,760 Speaker 1: while you do it. Here's your best bet. Let's pivot 692 00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:51,280 Speaker 1: quickly to the best bet for Monday night football. Um, 693 00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:55,680 Speaker 1: we hit the Thursday night money in these primetime games. Uh, 694 00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:58,239 Speaker 1: not money in the Grave. A K A Drake, A 695 00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:00,880 Speaker 1: great Drake song that my son who's ten, listens to 696 00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:04,839 Speaker 1: to get fired up for basketball. But I gotta take 697 00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:07,040 Speaker 1: Jamis Winston favored by four on the road. I know 698 00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:09,320 Speaker 1: it's risky, I know it is. This is a play 699 00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:14,640 Speaker 1: against rob GI's guy, Gino Smith. No, he's not anybody's guy. Um, 700 00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:17,640 Speaker 1: I I don't know how the Seahawks, and I know 701 00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:19,880 Speaker 1: Gino Smith has some insane record, like he's six and 702 00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:23,400 Speaker 1: oh in primetime games against spread, like we covered against Pittsburgh. 703 00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:25,839 Speaker 1: So I think the public is kind of on Seattle here, 704 00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:29,279 Speaker 1: um and and frankly, listen, this could easily be a 705 00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:32,839 Speaker 1: Jamis Winston pick six and they lose or they they 706 00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:34,680 Speaker 1: blow the cover because he hasn't ought to pick six 707 00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:38,799 Speaker 1: this year. You know it's coming. I just cannot get 708 00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:41,400 Speaker 1: over the idea that the Seahawks with two weeks to 709 00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:44,000 Speaker 1: prepare for Gino Smith, that Sean Paynon is not gonna 710 00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:46,600 Speaker 1: have some stuff cooked up, and they're down to their 711 00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:49,320 Speaker 1: third string running back. Carson's out. I think Alex Collins 712 00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:52,640 Speaker 1: is out. Uh, it's gonna be the Rashad Penny and 713 00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:56,120 Speaker 1: d J Dallas show if you're desperate for some fantasy 714 00:37:56,160 --> 00:38:00,880 Speaker 1: action tonight. Um and again, I under those circumstances, do 715 00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:02,839 Speaker 1: I like the Saints team? You guys know, I'm not 716 00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:05,920 Speaker 1: bullish on them long term. Uh, they could be a 717 00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:08,440 Speaker 1: playoff team. I would. I bet they would miss the 718 00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:10,520 Speaker 1: playoffs actually, so that that would not go well for me. 719 00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:15,400 Speaker 1: I just don't see a world where their defense allows 720 00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:20,399 Speaker 1: them to lose this game. Um, Peyton versus uh Pete 721 00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:23,279 Speaker 1: Carroll is a good coaching matchup, although it seems like 722 00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:26,920 Speaker 1: Pete Carroll if things go sour. And as a Jets fan, 723 00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:29,560 Speaker 1: who and the Jets have Seattle's first round pick, I 724 00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:32,319 Speaker 1: am rooting against the Seahawks and all their games, all 725 00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:35,160 Speaker 1: of them. I would love it if the Saints won 726 00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:38,880 Speaker 1: this so that I'm probably speaking a little heart overhead here, Um, 727 00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:41,960 Speaker 1: because honestly, to jamis Winston ever be favored by four 728 00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:46,680 Speaker 1: points on the road. No, but we saw wacky game, folks. 729 00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:48,879 Speaker 1: The public cleaned up. I think this is the third 730 00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:52,240 Speaker 1: straight week five games had to spread over a touchdown 731 00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:55,440 Speaker 1: over the weekend in the NFL. Four of them won 732 00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:58,200 Speaker 1: and covered pretty easily. The only one that didn't was 733 00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:04,040 Speaker 1: the Rams in the goth versus stafford Um revenge game, 734 00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:06,399 Speaker 1: which is a little weird. I will point out Jay 735 00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:09,440 Speaker 1: Glazer had a funny report, Rob. I don't know if 736 00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:13,120 Speaker 1: you saw this that when McVeigh called Golf to say, 737 00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:16,760 Speaker 1: hey man, we traded you, Golf hung up the phone 738 00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:20,520 Speaker 1: on him. I mean, I can't hate golf for that. 739 00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:23,359 Speaker 1: It's this is a tough one and I don't want 740 00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:25,759 Speaker 1: to spend too much time on it, Rob, But the 741 00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:29,360 Speaker 1: way I look at it like mcveigh's got a job. 742 00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:33,040 Speaker 1: He's got a make the best team he can work 743 00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:37,320 Speaker 1: with his GM. He knows what his system requires. Golf 744 00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:40,120 Speaker 1: could do some of it, but because of his skill 745 00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:44,160 Speaker 1: set and maneuverability in the pocket, like he just couldn't 746 00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:47,520 Speaker 1: do other stuff. So they had to move on. But 747 00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:51,040 Speaker 1: I understand at the same time why Golf is ticked 748 00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:53,839 Speaker 1: because they were boys. They were they were buddies. They 749 00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:56,520 Speaker 1: went to a Super Bowl together. So from Golf's perspective, 750 00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:58,839 Speaker 1: it's like, well, why don't you call plays that cater 751 00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:04,040 Speaker 1: to myce you'll set instead of yours? Because remember, I 752 00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:05,880 Speaker 1: was the quarterback that got us to the Super Bowl. 753 00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:09,000 Speaker 1: And you know, I think mcveigh's counter as well. The 754 00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:12,320 Speaker 1: rest of the league kind of caught up. Hello. Uh, 755 00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:15,120 Speaker 1: it's a tough one. I'm not rooting for either side. 756 00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:17,440 Speaker 1: I feel a little bit bad for Golf. He had 757 00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:20,760 Speaker 1: to move to Detroit. Shout out to our Detroit listeners. Um, 758 00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:22,919 Speaker 1: I know Golf still has a house kind of near 759 00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:25,480 Speaker 1: me here in the South Bay. Um. I can't walk 760 00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:27,000 Speaker 1: to it, but I could ride my bike to it 761 00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:31,600 Speaker 1: fairly easily. With his you know, supermodel girlfriend and I 762 00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:35,879 Speaker 1: like golf, but mcveigh's rams man. This team, his team 763 00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:38,600 Speaker 1: is strong. And if you guys like to look ahead, 764 00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:41,840 Speaker 1: everybody and their mom will be using the l A 765 00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:46,000 Speaker 1: Rams this week in their survivor pool. They are in Houston. 766 00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:48,040 Speaker 1: But I'm just gonna say, and I was wrong, think 767 00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:51,520 Speaker 1: of the Jets had a chance. Tyrod Taylor may play 768 00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:56,440 Speaker 1: next weekend, but survivors just win. That's all you gotta do. Um, 769 00:40:56,480 --> 00:41:01,400 Speaker 1: if you are curious and you're not, I only bet 770 00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:05,680 Speaker 1: one game last night, Rob, Do you want to look 771 00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:08,000 Speaker 1: at the board quickly and guess? And of course I 772 00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:09,640 Speaker 1: gave out my Monday night football pick. Do you want 773 00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:13,160 Speaker 1: to guess what game I bet for Week eight in 774 00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:17,560 Speaker 1: the NFL looking ahead to weaken? You've already made your bet? 775 00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:20,719 Speaker 1: One bet, just one, and my it's usually my first 776 00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:22,880 Speaker 1: bet is the biggest, like Sampa Bay was my biggest, 777 00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:25,200 Speaker 1: but Cleveland two weeks ago, which blew up in my face. 778 00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:30,960 Speaker 1: Let's see, I'm gonna go out on a limb and 779 00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:38,720 Speaker 1: say that you put some money down on the Buffalo Bills. Spicy, spicy, 780 00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:40,320 Speaker 1: But you know I don't. I don't know f around 781 00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:42,640 Speaker 1: with the double digit favorites there's a little risky in 782 00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:44,800 Speaker 1: a divisional match up thirteen and a half. I bet 783 00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:48,520 Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys. Now this is that carries some risk 784 00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:51,640 Speaker 1: because Dak, remember with the injury, I'm assuming he's gonna 785 00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:53,640 Speaker 1: be fine after the body. If he's not well, that's 786 00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:56,919 Speaker 1: a loss. But the Dallas Cowboys only favored by one. 787 00:41:57,040 --> 00:41:59,440 Speaker 1: It probably will hit one and a half sometime this 788 00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:06,160 Speaker 1: morning in Minnesota. Any early thoughts on Dallas Minnesota. I 789 00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:09,839 Speaker 1: just think, you know, if that's good, then I got 790 00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:12,799 Speaker 1: Dallas for sure. But if he's not good, they used 791 00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:15,680 Speaker 1: to get a little bit dicey there. I will point out, Rob, 792 00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:17,799 Speaker 1: have you seen any Squid games yet? I saw the 793 00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:20,640 Speaker 1: whole series. WHOA, Okay, stop stop right there. We don't 794 00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:22,520 Speaker 1: want us any spoilers, but I do want to point 795 00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:25,080 Speaker 1: out that I I started to watch it with the 796 00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:29,160 Speaker 1: wife over the weekend. UM fell asleep a couple of times. 797 00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:32,320 Speaker 1: You know, the subtitles is tough, but we kept rewinding. 798 00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:34,960 Speaker 1: Is It's pretty good, a little darker than I thought, 799 00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:39,640 Speaker 1: but I can't give it the full wreck. Um. But 800 00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:41,759 Speaker 1: hopefully this week will bang out some more episodes and 801 00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:47,200 Speaker 1: I will keep you guys abreast of our Netflix, Uh decisions. 802 00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:49,600 Speaker 1: I know you care very much. Um shout out to 803 00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:52,360 Speaker 1: Labreya a good show. A good show if you like 804 00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:54,400 Speaker 1: the sci fi stuff. Anyways. Al Right, guys, that's a 805 00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:57,680 Speaker 1: long ass Monday podcast. Enjoy it. We'll talk to you tomorrow.
