0:00:42.240 --> 0:00:46.000
<v Speaker 2>Welcome in episode one nine two. What's right with Nick Wright?

0:00:46.360 --> 0:00:49.720
<v Speaker 2>Starting promptly and on time. Great job by our tech

0:00:49.800 --> 0:00:52.440
<v Speaker 2>staff today making sure we didn't have to deal with

0:00:52.479 --> 0:00:54.520
<v Speaker 2>some of those tech things we dealt with on Tuesday.

0:00:54.560 --> 0:00:57.120
<v Speaker 2>Apologies again for that fact wrong time. I forgot to

0:00:57.160 --> 0:00:59.080
<v Speaker 2>tweet out the link. Now I've done it, thanks to

0:00:59.200 --> 0:01:01.960
<v Speaker 2>Jake and Victor and Daniel and everyone making sure that happened.

0:01:02.160 --> 0:01:04.600
<v Speaker 2>Ton to do today. I was at MSG last night.

0:01:04.840 --> 0:01:07.240
<v Speaker 2>I went there to watch Wimby. Instead I just watched

0:01:07.240 --> 0:01:10.160
<v Speaker 2>how terrible the Spurs are. We'll discuss that in a moment,

0:01:10.200 --> 0:01:12.920
<v Speaker 2>we have our gambling show. One of the two of

0:01:13.000 --> 0:01:16.400
<v Speaker 2>us is coming off not only a winning week, but

0:01:16.480 --> 0:01:18.560
<v Speaker 2>what really could have been, should have been, would have

0:01:18.560 --> 0:01:21.160
<v Speaker 2>been a five and oh week. The other one is

0:01:21.319 --> 0:01:25.840
<v Speaker 2>on the third longest teaser losing streak in recorded sports

0:01:25.920 --> 0:01:28.800
<v Speaker 2>media history. I'll let you guys guess who's who, but

0:01:28.880 --> 0:01:31.559
<v Speaker 2>we will discuss later in the show. All right, here's

0:01:31.600 --> 0:01:35.080
<v Speaker 2>what missed the Cup. For today's show, Kyler Murray set

0:01:35.120 --> 0:01:38.600
<v Speaker 2>to return with a question about that. Carson Wentz signs

0:01:38.640 --> 0:01:40.800
<v Speaker 2>with the Rams and the Nets fans boo Harden at

0:01:40.840 --> 0:01:44.039
<v Speaker 2>Barclays Demansey, I actually want to talk about Kyler coming

0:01:44.080 --> 0:01:48.440
<v Speaker 2>back for the Cardinals for just a moment, because what

0:01:48.680 --> 0:01:51.240
<v Speaker 2>what do you what are you all gotting?

0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:53.480
<v Speaker 3>I'm getting it. By the way, are you gonna say

0:01:53.520 --> 0:01:55.600
<v Speaker 3>something about the call of duty that's coming out Friday?

0:01:57.160 --> 0:02:00.120
<v Speaker 2>Oh No, I didn't even know there's a call of

0:02:00.240 --> 0:02:01.960
<v Speaker 2>duty coming out of Friday.

0:02:03.320 --> 0:02:04.080
<v Speaker 3>Friday.

0:02:04.040 --> 0:02:08.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Oh my goodness, what a bad beat for Kyler

0:02:08.840 --> 0:02:11.120
<v Speaker 2>comes out right when he's got to go back to work. No,

0:02:11.200 --> 0:02:13.720
<v Speaker 2>I didn't know. I did not know that, But that's hilarious.

0:02:13.880 --> 0:02:20.400
<v Speaker 2>Here's what I was going to say, So Jonathan Gannon.

0:02:21.520 --> 0:02:23.760
<v Speaker 2>If he can, he's the coach of the Cardinals, rookie

0:02:23.760 --> 0:02:28.240
<v Speaker 2>head coach. If he can thread the following needle, then

0:02:28.280 --> 0:02:31.079
<v Speaker 2>I think maybe he should get Coach of the Year consideration.

0:02:31.360 --> 0:02:33.680
<v Speaker 2>And then what they are and this is what I mean,

0:02:34.680 --> 0:02:38.640
<v Speaker 2>Jonathan Gannon. The Cardinals obviously had a plan going into

0:02:38.639 --> 0:02:44.680
<v Speaker 2>this year be terrible draft Caleb Williams and that's the plan.

0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:48.200
<v Speaker 2>And also, by the way, have the Texans draft pick

0:02:48.240 --> 0:02:50.600
<v Speaker 2>and the Texans are better than we expected, to draft

0:02:50.600 --> 0:02:54.600
<v Speaker 2>another guy and then hopefully get another good draft pick

0:02:54.880 --> 0:03:00.200
<v Speaker 2>for Kyler Murray. Now, because he's a new coach, I

0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:03.320
<v Speaker 2>don't think he wanted to come in and immediately have

0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:06.280
<v Speaker 2>it be like this team has no hope, they got

0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:09.400
<v Speaker 2>no chance. So they beat the Cowboys in Week three,

0:03:09.960 --> 0:03:13.560
<v Speaker 2>throw everyone off the tanking scent, and now all of

0:03:13.639 --> 0:03:16.200
<v Speaker 2>a sudden, we wake up in week ten and they're like, wait,

0:03:16.720 --> 0:03:22.040
<v Speaker 2>they haven't won since then. So now what the Cardinals

0:03:22.240 --> 0:03:27.560
<v Speaker 2>need to do is bring Kyler back, have him play

0:03:27.760 --> 0:03:31.600
<v Speaker 2>well enough that he is worth a first round pick

0:03:31.680 --> 0:03:36.760
<v Speaker 2>to someone while maintaining the number one pick. So they

0:03:36.800 --> 0:03:40.280
<v Speaker 2>need to have their quarterback play pretty well and look healthy,

0:03:40.960 --> 0:03:44.760
<v Speaker 2>not win any games, and If they do that, they

0:03:44.800 --> 0:03:49.680
<v Speaker 2>are set up beautifully for the future, and all believe that,

0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:53.560
<v Speaker 2>all believe in Jonathan Gannon despite his odd who took

0:03:53.640 --> 0:03:57.440
<v Speaker 2>the Boss press conference. I'm very interested, and I'm interested

0:03:57.440 --> 0:04:00.960
<v Speaker 2>if Kyler comes back, looks great or looks good even

0:04:01.360 --> 0:04:04.480
<v Speaker 2>and they end up with the third pick, and then

0:04:04.520 --> 0:04:08.640
<v Speaker 2>it's like, do you pivot entirely and instead of going quarterback,

0:04:08.920 --> 0:04:13.120
<v Speaker 2>stick with Kyler, draft Marvin Harrison Junior and go from there.

0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:16.920
<v Speaker 2>It's a very fascinating situation in Arizona. So a quick

0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:19.680
<v Speaker 2>little take there on what missed the cut. Now let's

0:04:19.680 --> 0:04:20.320
<v Speaker 2>get into the show.

0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:23.880
<v Speaker 3>Demansey, all right, so you were really low on Wimby

0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:26.560
<v Speaker 3>at one point, and it seemed like this season, okay.

0:04:26.440 --> 0:04:29.520
<v Speaker 2>I not hauled on, so you can't start the show

0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:35.240
<v Speaker 2>off with lies. I thought that Folks putting his floor

0:04:35.839 --> 0:04:38.919
<v Speaker 2>at a chem Olajuan was maybe gonna be a little

0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:41.600
<v Speaker 2>too much pressure on the nineteen year old French kid.

0:04:41.839 --> 0:04:44.839
<v Speaker 2>I was never low on Wimby. I just wasn't as

0:04:45.480 --> 0:04:48.920
<v Speaker 2>astronomically high as others. Now go ahead.

0:04:49.960 --> 0:04:52.640
<v Speaker 3>One might argue that's kind of low, but uh.

0:04:52.800 --> 0:04:57.839
<v Speaker 2>Well so in reference in comparison to others, Shore Go ahead.

0:04:58.279 --> 0:05:00.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so you went to the game last night and

0:05:00.640 --> 0:05:03.000
<v Speaker 3>he did really poorly. Did seeing him in person and

0:05:03.040 --> 0:05:05.840
<v Speaker 3>put up that performance give you a different type of

0:05:05.880 --> 0:05:07.880
<v Speaker 3>perspective on him or are you still at the same.

0:05:09.040 --> 0:05:15.800
<v Speaker 2>Well, listen, he he had a by a rookie standards,

0:05:16.440 --> 0:05:19.040
<v Speaker 2>a legendary performance one week ago.

0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:19.480
<v Speaker 3>Today.

0:05:20.080 --> 0:05:24.839
<v Speaker 2>The game he had against Phoenix out playing KD going

0:05:25.000 --> 0:05:30.040
<v Speaker 2>thirty eight and ten, being a monster defensively made I

0:05:30.080 --> 0:05:33.479
<v Speaker 2>think all of us stop and be like, oh my god, like,

0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:38.839
<v Speaker 2>what is this guy not going to be eventually? What

0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:43.719
<v Speaker 2>is he right now? Because and Wilds made this point.

0:05:43.760 --> 0:05:47.200
<v Speaker 2>They played Durant in back to back games, and you

0:05:47.360 --> 0:05:51.400
<v Speaker 2>kind of saw in the first game he was a

0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:53.920
<v Speaker 2>little shaky in the first half and then by the

0:05:53.960 --> 0:05:56.960
<v Speaker 2>second half had figured some things out. And then when

0:05:56.960 --> 0:05:59.480
<v Speaker 2>they played him again a couple days later, all of

0:05:59.520 --> 0:06:03.200
<v Speaker 2>a sudden, he's the best player on the court. And

0:06:03.240 --> 0:06:08.320
<v Speaker 2>it's like is he learning in real time? Like artificial

0:06:08.400 --> 0:06:12.360
<v Speaker 2>intelligence and like you know all the you know, like, oh, okay,

0:06:12.400 --> 0:06:14.000
<v Speaker 2>so this is how you play Kevin Durant when I

0:06:14.080 --> 0:06:18.839
<v Speaker 2>get him again, and people were really I mean, Tom Haberstrow,

0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:20.800
<v Speaker 2>where I have a lot of respect for, was talking

0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:22.800
<v Speaker 2>about how there was great value on him to be

0:06:22.960 --> 0:06:29.200
<v Speaker 2>the NBA's MVP this year at like forty five to one,

0:06:30.880 --> 0:06:33.880
<v Speaker 2>So we all did get maybe a little ahead of ourselves.

0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:36.560
<v Speaker 2>We did a game on the show where I put

0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:39.600
<v Speaker 2>up jail would you rather have not for the future,

0:06:39.839 --> 0:06:43.520
<v Speaker 2>but for this season, and the names I wimby or

0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:50.159
<v Speaker 2>and we did. Jalen Brown, we did Kevin Durant was

0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:54.480
<v Speaker 2>one of them. The we didn't do Tatum. I tried

0:06:54.520 --> 0:06:57.359
<v Speaker 2>to do guys that I thought I'm trying to think of.

0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:05.000
<v Speaker 2>We didn't do Lebron, we did Kawhi uh and it

0:07:05.160 --> 0:07:07.640
<v Speaker 2>is but it was like that caliber of player we did,

0:07:09.000 --> 0:07:11.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm trying to think of everyone that with Jimmy Butler,

0:07:12.320 --> 0:07:14.160
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean, we did like guys in

0:07:14.200 --> 0:07:18.600
<v Speaker 2>that seven to twenty five range in the league. And

0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:21.200
<v Speaker 2>I mean Brew took him over KD. After that game,

0:07:21.240 --> 0:07:25.040
<v Speaker 2>It's like, how could you not? Okay? So he since then,

0:07:25.720 --> 0:07:27.760
<v Speaker 2>he and the Spurs have not been good at all.

0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:32.480
<v Speaker 2>They haven't won. Last night, he came out firing, he

0:07:32.520 --> 0:07:36.040
<v Speaker 2>didn't hit his early shots, and then he seemed to

0:07:36.120 --> 0:07:39.160
<v Speaker 2>lose a bit of confidence. But all so, here are

0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:44.040
<v Speaker 2>my big takeaways from watching him on every single possession,

0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:54.480
<v Speaker 2>he goes seven eight possession stretches without touching the ball.

0:07:56.000 --> 0:08:00.040
<v Speaker 2>The Bill Simmons made this point prior to yesterday, and

0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:04.520
<v Speaker 2>he's one thousand percent right. The Spurs desperately need a

0:08:04.560 --> 0:08:07.920
<v Speaker 2>point guard. They have Jeremy Sohan, who's a small forward

0:08:08.000 --> 0:08:10.920
<v Speaker 2>running point for them. No one knows how to get

0:08:10.960 --> 0:08:14.560
<v Speaker 2>wimby the basketball, and that's a little frustrating. The other

0:08:14.600 --> 0:08:20.360
<v Speaker 2>thing that is true is this he he does right

0:08:20.400 --> 0:08:26.720
<v Speaker 2>now despite his size, He just has no inside offensive

0:08:26.760 --> 0:08:31.160
<v Speaker 2>game whatsoever other than rim runs and putbacks, Like you

0:08:31.200 --> 0:08:34.400
<v Speaker 2>can't give him the ball and just have him go

0:08:34.520 --> 0:08:36.960
<v Speaker 2>to work, and we know he can't lean on people.

0:08:37.360 --> 0:08:40.559
<v Speaker 2>But what I found so interesting watching him, at least yesterday,

0:08:40.679 --> 0:08:43.920
<v Speaker 2>is maybe because he missed those first or few shots,

0:08:44.880 --> 0:08:47.079
<v Speaker 2>he was when he did get the ball on the perimeter,

0:08:47.440 --> 0:08:50.679
<v Speaker 2>he seemed to be trying to go by people when

0:08:51.320 --> 0:08:54.559
<v Speaker 2>it felt like the whole idea of why he's going

0:08:54.640 --> 0:08:59.199
<v Speaker 2>to be so transcendent is he can just shoot over everyone.

0:08:59.679 --> 0:09:04.240
<v Speaker 2>And he either was hesitant to last night or it

0:09:04.520 --> 0:09:06.840
<v Speaker 2>just didn't have it. And I don't want to overreact

0:09:06.880 --> 0:09:10.800
<v Speaker 2>one night, but what it definitely did do was took

0:09:10.880 --> 0:09:14.240
<v Speaker 2>him out of the game a bit. Defensively, he didn't

0:09:14.240 --> 0:09:17.360
<v Speaker 2>make an impact defensively that one could see in that game,

0:09:17.640 --> 0:09:20.840
<v Speaker 2>and offensively he was a negative. Now you remind yourself

0:09:21.040 --> 0:09:24.800
<v Speaker 2>he's nineteen years old and that was his eighth career

0:09:24.960 --> 0:09:29.840
<v Speaker 2>NBA game. But for people that were arguing, should the

0:09:29.920 --> 0:09:35.880
<v Speaker 2>Spurs have been a little more aggressive this offseason, I

0:09:36.520 --> 0:09:38.839
<v Speaker 2>didn't think they should because you don't want to try

0:09:38.880 --> 0:09:45.920
<v Speaker 2>to microwave this. But for his development, them having an

0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:52.360
<v Speaker 2>actual adult point guard I think could be incredibly useful,

0:09:52.720 --> 0:09:56.079
<v Speaker 2>like a guy like a Mike Conley, or it doesn't

0:09:56.120 --> 0:09:58.760
<v Speaker 2>have to be a great player, just someone that can

0:09:58.880 --> 0:10:03.199
<v Speaker 2>come in and orchestrate things, because I mean, Doug McDermott's

0:10:03.200 --> 0:10:05.960
<v Speaker 2>out there running and gunning, so hand is trying to

0:10:05.960 --> 0:10:08.400
<v Speaker 2>play out a position. I mean, the Spurs are a bad,

0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:12.040
<v Speaker 2>bad team. So it was fascinating to watch the most

0:10:12.080 --> 0:10:16.960
<v Speaker 2>stunning moment of the night, honestly, because when you're watching

0:10:17.000 --> 0:10:20.960
<v Speaker 2>the game, because of like guys at different depths and

0:10:21.040 --> 0:10:24.600
<v Speaker 2>perspective or whatever. You can tell who the tallest guy is,

0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:27.599
<v Speaker 2>but it's you don't really have the exact right perspective

0:10:27.640 --> 0:10:30.840
<v Speaker 2>on it. The most stunning moment was the national Anthem.

0:10:31.200 --> 0:10:34.360
<v Speaker 2>I know it sounds ridiculous, but it's because all the

0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:38.000
<v Speaker 2>guys are lined up next to each other and Wimby

0:10:38.120 --> 0:10:42.679
<v Speaker 2>looked make believe, he looked like how one of the

0:10:42.840 --> 0:10:45.440
<v Speaker 2>like NBA guys look when they go to like see

0:10:45.480 --> 0:10:47.680
<v Speaker 2>people at a school and they take a picture with

0:10:47.760 --> 0:10:50.320
<v Speaker 2>the administration. It's like, oh, there's Kevin Durant and then

0:10:50.320 --> 0:10:54.560
<v Speaker 2>there's regular people. But he was standing next to well, yeah,

0:10:54.559 --> 0:10:58.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean it's it's really that part was remarkable. He

0:10:58.280 --> 0:11:02.280
<v Speaker 2>had a really rough game. But listen, I picked Scoot

0:11:02.360 --> 0:11:05.920
<v Speaker 2>Henderson for Rookie of the Year and we haven't talked

0:11:06.000 --> 0:11:08.800
<v Speaker 2>much about him. And the reason we haven't talked much

0:11:08.800 --> 0:11:13.480
<v Speaker 2>about him is because he hasn't got it going. Scoot

0:11:13.600 --> 0:11:17.200
<v Speaker 2>so far this year is I'll give you his numbers exactly.

0:11:17.240 --> 0:11:19.880
<v Speaker 2>He's only played five games because he got hurt. He's

0:11:19.880 --> 0:11:22.280
<v Speaker 2>given you eight points, four and a half assists on

0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:26.360
<v Speaker 2>thirty five percent from the field and nine percent from three.

0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:31.319
<v Speaker 2>So it's listen, tough life for ye long season, tough

0:11:31.360 --> 0:11:33.880
<v Speaker 2>early on for rookies. There have been some rookies. Derek

0:11:33.960 --> 0:11:37.800
<v Speaker 2>Lively for the MAVs has been really good. There have

0:11:37.840 --> 0:11:42.199
<v Speaker 2>been some the obviously the thunder of two excellent rookies.

0:11:43.120 --> 0:11:46.000
<v Speaker 2>Caseon Wallace and then Chet, who's like a rookiecause he

0:11:46.000 --> 0:11:48.840
<v Speaker 2>didn't play last year but was let the previous year's

0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:51.880
<v Speaker 2>draft class. Chet's been excellent. Now Chet is a guy

0:11:51.920 --> 0:11:55.080
<v Speaker 2>I was very down on who thus far has been excellent.

0:11:55.280 --> 0:11:57.160
<v Speaker 2>And so we'll see all right next.

0:11:58.240 --> 0:12:00.200
<v Speaker 3>All right, So it seems like the longer lebron On

0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:03.320
<v Speaker 3>stays in the league, the more disrespect he gains. He's

0:12:03.360 --> 0:12:09.920
<v Speaker 3>getting disrespect from players, panelists. The refs of Dylan Brooks

0:12:09.960 --> 0:12:12.920
<v Speaker 3>held him to eighteen points last night, locked him up.

0:12:12.960 --> 0:12:16.800
<v Speaker 3>Like you said, if he's still playing at a high level,

0:12:16.960 --> 0:12:19.160
<v Speaker 3>why is the disrespect only growing from fans?

0:12:21.440 --> 0:12:23.840
<v Speaker 2>So think all right, so let's talk about the refs

0:12:23.840 --> 0:12:32.440
<v Speaker 2>thing for a moment. This is not even a controversial opinion.

0:12:32.559 --> 0:12:35.360
<v Speaker 2>This is backed up by the data. One of the

0:12:35.600 --> 0:12:38.479
<v Speaker 2>I forget which site it was, but actually just compiled

0:12:38.520 --> 0:12:42.240
<v Speaker 2>the in the last eight years. You know, the NBA

0:12:42.400 --> 0:12:47.360
<v Speaker 2>does those last two minute reports. What player has been disadvantage,

0:12:47.440 --> 0:12:52.280
<v Speaker 2>what player has had more calls be wrong calls by

0:12:52.320 --> 0:12:56.600
<v Speaker 2>the NBA's own reports, No players had more calls go

0:12:56.720 --> 0:12:59.720
<v Speaker 2>against them than Lebron James at the end of these games,

0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:02.760
<v Speaker 2>and even when you do well, how many did he.

0:13:02.760 --> 0:13:03.680
<v Speaker 3>Have go for him?

0:13:04.040 --> 0:13:07.560
<v Speaker 2>He is more in the negative than any player in

0:13:07.600 --> 0:13:11.160
<v Speaker 2>the league. I think Embiid set Embids the opposite. Embiids

0:13:11.200 --> 0:13:14.439
<v Speaker 2>had more things go his way that the refs then say, hey,

0:13:14.520 --> 0:13:18.000
<v Speaker 2>he got the wrong whistle in his favor. There is

0:13:18.080 --> 0:13:21.520
<v Speaker 2>a level of and last year the data back this

0:13:21.640 --> 0:13:24.440
<v Speaker 2>up as well of if you take all the play

0:13:24.520 --> 0:13:26.640
<v Speaker 2>and people are like, well, it's because Lebron's shooting so

0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:30.240
<v Speaker 2>many more threes. If you take all the players, the

0:13:30.360 --> 0:13:34.360
<v Speaker 2>league leaders, and either points at the rim, points in

0:13:34.400 --> 0:13:38.199
<v Speaker 2>the paint, or shots in the paint, Lebron last year

0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:41.440
<v Speaker 2>and the year before and this year it's very early,

0:13:42.280 --> 0:13:45.440
<v Speaker 2>was the lowest and free throw rate, so you're talking

0:13:45.480 --> 0:13:48.640
<v Speaker 2>about attacking guys, guys going to the basket. He just

0:13:48.720 --> 0:13:52.200
<v Speaker 2>hasn't been getting calls, and there is an element of

0:13:53.280 --> 0:13:57.880
<v Speaker 2>that he has lost. I think some of the luster

0:13:58.080 --> 0:14:01.880
<v Speaker 2>of this is the down best player in the game.

0:14:02.320 --> 0:14:06.120
<v Speaker 2>He needs a beneficial whistle, like every best player. Jordan

0:14:06.240 --> 0:14:09.960
<v Speaker 2>got it, Kobe got it, Yeah, anyone in the discussion

0:14:10.040 --> 0:14:12.959
<v Speaker 2>for all time legend at their apex, Giannis can get

0:14:13.000 --> 0:14:15.760
<v Speaker 2>it to an agree he doesn't get that anymore because

0:14:15.800 --> 0:14:21.320
<v Speaker 2>he's older, but he's still so physically imposing that guys

0:14:21.360 --> 0:14:23.920
<v Speaker 2>slap him on the arm when he's going up for

0:14:23.920 --> 0:14:27.960
<v Speaker 2>a layup and it doesn't seem like it affects him

0:14:28.280 --> 0:14:31.520
<v Speaker 2>the way it would affect other guys. So that is frustrating,

0:14:31.720 --> 0:14:33.920
<v Speaker 2>and I think it's incredibly frustrating for Lebron and the

0:14:34.000 --> 0:14:37.600
<v Speaker 2>Lakers are right that it's not just like Laker fans

0:14:37.640 --> 0:14:40.280
<v Speaker 2>being like, oh, the refs are against us. By the data,

0:14:40.840 --> 0:14:44.320
<v Speaker 2>he has had a very tough whistle for his entire

0:14:44.400 --> 0:14:48.240
<v Speaker 2>Lakers tenure. That's first thing as far as player's going

0:14:48.280 --> 0:14:50.840
<v Speaker 2>at him, it's the only player that's really going on

0:14:50.960 --> 0:14:53.360
<v Speaker 2>this years Dylan Brooks, and guy's a clown. This is clown.

0:14:53.920 --> 0:14:57.120
<v Speaker 2>Dylan Brooks has lost the right to be taken seriously.

0:14:57.200 --> 0:15:00.280
<v Speaker 2>He lost it in the series against What what are

0:15:00.320 --> 0:15:02.160
<v Speaker 2>you wincing about? Tell me, tell me why.

0:15:02.720 --> 0:15:06.040
<v Speaker 3>Dylan Brooks isn't having a bad year.

0:15:05.640 --> 0:15:09.160
<v Speaker 2>No, no, no, He's actually having an excellent year. But when

0:15:09.200 --> 0:15:14.600
<v Speaker 2>you Dylan Brooks, when you say the things he said

0:15:14.640 --> 0:15:17.840
<v Speaker 2>in the playoff series against the Lakers and then run

0:15:17.880 --> 0:15:20.880
<v Speaker 2>from the media and then cry saying I don't know

0:15:20.920 --> 0:15:23.400
<v Speaker 2>why everyone is calling me a villain. The media has

0:15:23.400 --> 0:15:27.000
<v Speaker 2>done this, and then introduce yourself repeatedly, is Dylan the villain?

0:15:27.400 --> 0:15:30.320
<v Speaker 2>And or the last time you played Lebron you got

0:15:30.400 --> 0:15:32.440
<v Speaker 2>kicked out of the game for punching him in the balls,

0:15:32.640 --> 0:15:34.680
<v Speaker 2>and then this time you're like, I'm gonna lock him up.

0:15:34.720 --> 0:15:37.200
<v Speaker 2>You're a clown. You're a clown, and you don't deserve

0:15:37.280 --> 0:15:40.240
<v Speaker 2>to be discussed. Like, the only reason we talk about

0:15:40.360 --> 0:15:45.040
<v Speaker 2>Dylan Brooks more than one hundred and fifty other guys

0:15:45.040 --> 0:15:49.080
<v Speaker 2>in the league is because he just talks like he's

0:15:49.120 --> 0:15:54.040
<v Speaker 2>a star. He's just the obvious manifestation of the evolution

0:15:54.240 --> 0:15:57.200
<v Speaker 2>or I should say evolution of Patrick Beverley. Exactly right,

0:15:57.400 --> 0:16:02.000
<v Speaker 2>It's a clown. Now we the media stuff. I don't know,

0:16:02.080 --> 0:16:05.160
<v Speaker 2>like everyone was. It seemed like on a lot of

0:16:05.240 --> 0:16:08.760
<v Speaker 2>shows the would Lebron have been the same guy with

0:16:08.960 --> 0:16:12.920
<v Speaker 2>or without Miami? Did he need Miami? Everyone was a

0:16:12.920 --> 0:16:16.280
<v Speaker 2>lot more interested in that discussion than I was. Like,

0:16:16.840 --> 0:16:20.880
<v Speaker 2>what I do think is it is possible that without Miami,

0:16:21.640 --> 0:16:24.800
<v Speaker 2>Lebron's career would not have gone this long. I think

0:16:24.840 --> 0:16:29.400
<v Speaker 2>that if those four years in the apex prime of

0:16:29.440 --> 0:16:34.000
<v Speaker 2>his career he didn't have. He didn't go to Miami

0:16:35.120 --> 0:16:38.560
<v Speaker 2>learn what he learned from that organization, be around Spolstra

0:16:38.720 --> 0:16:42.320
<v Speaker 2>and maybe most importantly, for the only four year stretch

0:16:42.320 --> 0:16:45.800
<v Speaker 2>of his entire career, could was he on a team

0:16:45.840 --> 0:16:48.360
<v Speaker 2>that if he went to the bench, they could survive

0:16:48.920 --> 0:16:51.240
<v Speaker 2>and he didn't have to play these crazy minutes things

0:16:51.240 --> 0:16:52.960
<v Speaker 2>like that. I don't know if he'd still be at

0:16:52.960 --> 0:16:56.680
<v Speaker 2>this level in year twenty one. He was already one

0:16:56.720 --> 0:16:59.400
<v Speaker 2>of the greatest players ever before he went to Miami.

0:16:59.440 --> 0:17:02.800
<v Speaker 2>Before he into Miami, he was a two time League MVP,

0:17:03.000 --> 0:17:05.840
<v Speaker 2>four time All NBA First Team, two times second Team,

0:17:06.160 --> 0:17:08.280
<v Speaker 2>and had taken a team to the finals at age

0:17:08.320 --> 0:17:10.440
<v Speaker 2>twenty two and had had a playoff run where he

0:17:10.440 --> 0:17:13.200
<v Speaker 2>averaged thirty five points a game. Now, he wasn't a

0:17:13.320 --> 0:17:16.720
<v Speaker 2>champion yet, and if people believe well, he wouldn't have

0:17:16.720 --> 0:17:19.439
<v Speaker 2>won any championships if he hadn't gone to Miami. I

0:17:19.440 --> 0:17:22.159
<v Speaker 2>think that's crazy. Would he have had the same number?

0:17:22.200 --> 0:17:22.600
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

0:17:22.640 --> 0:17:25.480
<v Speaker 2>He won two in those four years, but everything about

0:17:25.480 --> 0:17:28.200
<v Speaker 2>his career changes after that. Does he go somewhere else?

0:17:28.760 --> 0:17:31.800
<v Speaker 2>Does he stay in Cleveland? If he stays in Cleveland,

0:17:31.800 --> 0:17:34.280
<v Speaker 2>they never get Kyrie Irving. They don't get you know,

0:17:34.400 --> 0:17:38.119
<v Speaker 2>Kevin Love. It's the whole thing's different. So I don't know.

0:17:38.560 --> 0:17:41.960
<v Speaker 2>What I do know is there are certain guys across

0:17:42.000 --> 0:17:46.199
<v Speaker 2>sports history, particularly in the NBA, that we're going to

0:17:46.359 --> 0:17:53.359
<v Speaker 2>be all time great legends no matter what. Lebron obviously

0:17:54.119 --> 0:17:59.480
<v Speaker 2>is on that shortest of short lists. Now, like let

0:17:59.560 --> 0:18:02.119
<v Speaker 2>me be, people could say, what would Kareem's career have

0:18:02.200 --> 0:18:05.440
<v Speaker 2>been if he didn't go to the Lakers. Well, it's

0:18:05.440 --> 0:18:08.520
<v Speaker 2>an interesting question because Kareem had already won won one

0:18:08.640 --> 0:18:12.960
<v Speaker 2>championship and won one finals MVP, and won multiple MVPs

0:18:13.000 --> 0:18:18.080
<v Speaker 2>with the Bucks. But he then won what four more MVPs,

0:18:18.280 --> 0:18:22.119
<v Speaker 2>five more championships, and went to nine more finals with

0:18:22.320 --> 0:18:27.040
<v Speaker 2>the Lakers. So I don't know what you know the

0:18:27.160 --> 0:18:31.959
<v Speaker 2>career would have been. I do know that Lebron's career

0:18:32.040 --> 0:18:35.320
<v Speaker 2>could not have possibly worked out better. In my opinion,

0:18:35.480 --> 0:18:39.040
<v Speaker 2>he's the greatest athlete ever and so every decision along

0:18:39.080 --> 0:18:40.480
<v Speaker 2>the way, I don't think you could have been like

0:18:40.560 --> 0:18:43.560
<v Speaker 2>this decision it would have worked out better for him.

0:18:43.600 --> 0:18:47.439
<v Speaker 2>I don't think. I don't think there could be a

0:18:47.600 --> 0:18:52.320
<v Speaker 2>better outcome than the story of you get drafted to

0:18:52.359 --> 0:18:57.200
<v Speaker 2>your hometown team. You're within a year in the discussion

0:18:57.280 --> 0:18:59.440
<v Speaker 2>for the best player in the league. Take him to

0:18:59.480 --> 0:19:04.320
<v Speaker 2>the final, lose to a legend in Tim Duncan. The

0:19:04.640 --> 0:19:09.959
<v Speaker 2>Boston Celtics, a legendary organization, creates the first modern super

0:19:10.000 --> 0:19:13.280
<v Speaker 2>team because of you, because you're there and they need

0:19:13.359 --> 0:19:16.320
<v Speaker 2>to get past you. You then can't get past that

0:19:16.480 --> 0:19:20.280
<v Speaker 2>super team that was created to defeat you. You go

0:19:20.320 --> 0:19:23.760
<v Speaker 2>to Miami, a team that has a guy, a friend

0:19:23.800 --> 0:19:26.560
<v Speaker 2>of yours in your draft class, who had already teamed

0:19:26.600 --> 0:19:29.320
<v Speaker 2>up with a legend in Shaquille O'Neil to win a championship.

0:19:29.760 --> 0:19:34.360
<v Speaker 2>You guys, immediately make the finals and you have the

0:19:34.359 --> 0:19:37.920
<v Speaker 2>one and only true failure of your career. It humbles

0:19:37.960 --> 0:19:42.399
<v Speaker 2>you to a degree, it makes you a better basketball player,

0:19:42.800 --> 0:19:46.560
<v Speaker 2>and then from that moment on you reel off the

0:19:46.640 --> 0:19:51.560
<v Speaker 2>greatest decade of basketball anyone's ever played. In the next

0:19:51.800 --> 0:19:55.560
<v Speaker 2>ten years, you can squint, you can argue, But in

0:19:55.600 --> 0:19:58.320
<v Speaker 2>the next nine years, I should say, you make the

0:19:58.440 --> 0:20:02.879
<v Speaker 2>NBA Finals eight times games. You have the longest winning

0:20:02.880 --> 0:20:07.280
<v Speaker 2>streak in the history of the league. You or in

0:20:07.320 --> 0:20:09.280
<v Speaker 2>the second longest wing streak pardon me, in the history

0:20:09.320 --> 0:20:12.639
<v Speaker 2>of the league. You are involved in one of the

0:20:12.680 --> 0:20:15.600
<v Speaker 2>greatest game sixes in game sevens of the finals ever.

0:20:15.720 --> 0:20:18.840
<v Speaker 2>You then go back home, you have the greatest comeback

0:20:18.880 --> 0:20:22.600
<v Speaker 2>in Finals history. Sandwiched around the greatest comeback in Finals history,

0:20:22.880 --> 0:20:25.919
<v Speaker 2>you have the greatest series in a losing effort in

0:20:25.960 --> 0:20:28.879
<v Speaker 2>Finals history, the thirty six, thirteen and nine with your

0:20:28.880 --> 0:20:31.119
<v Speaker 2>teammates injured, and then on the back end of it,

0:20:31.160 --> 0:20:33.760
<v Speaker 2>the single greatest game in Finals history, the fifty one

0:20:33.760 --> 0:20:36.000
<v Speaker 2>to eight to eight in Game one against Durant and

0:20:36.040 --> 0:20:39.919
<v Speaker 2>those guys, the greatest individual playoff run in NBA history,

0:20:40.200 --> 0:20:42.720
<v Speaker 2>the twenty eighteen playoffs where he had eight to forty

0:20:42.760 --> 0:20:46.600
<v Speaker 2>point games. You then go to the greatest organization in

0:20:46.640 --> 0:20:49.040
<v Speaker 2>the history of the league that, for the first time

0:20:49.080 --> 0:20:53.840
<v Speaker 2>in its seventy year career or you know, seventy year existence,

0:20:54.160 --> 0:20:56.919
<v Speaker 2>is in a downswing, hasn't made the playoffs in six years,

0:20:57.040 --> 0:20:58.920
<v Speaker 2>and within a year you win a title for him,

0:20:59.320 --> 0:21:02.960
<v Speaker 2>And then in that uniform, you become the NBA's all

0:21:03.040 --> 0:21:06.520
<v Speaker 2>time leading scorer, breaking the record of a legend from

0:21:06.600 --> 0:21:09.880
<v Speaker 2>that organization. And now in you're twenty one, you're still

0:21:09.920 --> 0:21:11.359
<v Speaker 2>the best player on your team and one of the

0:21:11.400 --> 0:21:14.639
<v Speaker 2>best players in the league. There is no, it's not like, well,

0:21:15.480 --> 0:21:17.719
<v Speaker 2>but if he'd have gone to Chicago, Wuddy would have

0:21:17.760 --> 0:21:22.280
<v Speaker 2>not that, not that, and so uh I think it

0:21:22.320 --> 0:21:23.520
<v Speaker 2>worked out pretty well. All right.

0:21:23.600 --> 0:21:28.440
<v Speaker 3>Next, I guess I just listen.

0:21:28.480 --> 0:21:31.080
<v Speaker 2>It's just an accurate telling of this tale. It's just,

0:21:31.280 --> 0:21:34.840
<v Speaker 2>you know, I I am if nothing else, I am,

0:21:35.600 --> 0:21:39.199
<v Speaker 2>you know, an arbiter of truth and fairness, and uh

0:21:39.359 --> 0:21:42.960
<v Speaker 2>it's important to be you know, have somebody out there

0:21:43.480 --> 0:21:46.560
<v Speaker 2>that is going to tell the true story. And what's

0:21:46.600 --> 0:21:51.840
<v Speaker 2>a better story than a guy being immediately great, can't

0:21:51.880 --> 0:21:57.120
<v Speaker 2>get over the hump, tasting real failure, reaching the absolute pinnacle,

0:21:57.520 --> 0:22:03.080
<v Speaker 2>going back home over what was considered an insurmountable deficit,

0:22:03.640 --> 0:22:08.760
<v Speaker 2>and then saying new challenge, going to the greatest organization

0:22:08.880 --> 0:22:13.280
<v Speaker 2>ever that was in total shambles and instantly delivering them

0:22:13.320 --> 0:22:18.800
<v Speaker 2>a championship, and now being literally the oldest player in

0:22:18.840 --> 0:22:21.320
<v Speaker 2>the league and still one of the best players in

0:22:21.320 --> 0:22:23.359
<v Speaker 2>the league. Never seen anything like it.

0:22:23.480 --> 0:22:26.919
<v Speaker 3>Next, all right, So the forty nine Ers and Jags

0:22:26.920 --> 0:22:30.040
<v Speaker 3>are gonna face off. Both teams are coming off of bye.

0:22:30.440 --> 0:22:33.320
<v Speaker 3>The Jaguars are obviously on the five game winning streak

0:22:33.520 --> 0:22:35.600
<v Speaker 3>and the forty nine Ers are on the three game

0:22:35.680 --> 0:22:39.119
<v Speaker 3>losing streak. So is this the ultimate setup for a

0:22:39.560 --> 0:22:43.680
<v Speaker 3>Nick was right situation with Perty facing off versus Trevor Lawrence.

0:22:45.320 --> 0:22:48.280
<v Speaker 2>It feels like it, doesn't it. I mean, if after

0:22:48.320 --> 0:22:50.760
<v Speaker 2>this weekend and it's the biggest game of the weekend,

0:22:50.760 --> 0:22:54.240
<v Speaker 2>this weekend slate is not great at all. Last weekend

0:22:54.280 --> 0:22:57.159
<v Speaker 2>had an amazing slate. This weekend slate is not a

0:22:57.400 --> 0:23:00.960
<v Speaker 2>group of great games. It's the it's the marquee game.

0:23:02.680 --> 0:23:07.680
<v Speaker 2>And if the Jags get to seven and two while

0:23:07.720 --> 0:23:11.560
<v Speaker 2>the Niners fall to five and four, and it's because

0:23:11.760 --> 0:23:18.000
<v Speaker 2>Trevor cooks and Purty struggles and all of a sudden

0:23:18.440 --> 0:23:22.080
<v Speaker 2>within a month the same you know what's gonna be

0:23:22.200 --> 0:23:24.439
<v Speaker 2>glorious if and when this happens. By the way, it's

0:23:24.440 --> 0:23:27.560
<v Speaker 2>a tough game. Niners still an excellent team. They're coming

0:23:27.600 --> 0:23:30.879
<v Speaker 2>off the by they should be healthier. You know, this

0:23:31.080 --> 0:23:35.480
<v Speaker 2>is a big test for the Jags. No team in

0:23:35.520 --> 0:23:37.919
<v Speaker 2>the league this year has had a winning streak longer

0:23:37.960 --> 0:23:40.560
<v Speaker 2>than six games. They're trying to get it to six

0:23:40.680 --> 0:23:44.160
<v Speaker 2>like they're yeah, they're trying to what are they? Yeah,

0:23:44.200 --> 0:23:46.160
<v Speaker 2>they're trying to get it to six games. That would

0:23:46.160 --> 0:23:49.720
<v Speaker 2>be right. So listen, this is by no means is

0:23:49.720 --> 0:23:51.840
<v Speaker 2>this like, oh a layup win. The Niners are still

0:23:51.880 --> 0:23:55.760
<v Speaker 2>a really good team, but nothing will be more satisfying

0:23:55.800 --> 0:24:03.639
<v Speaker 2>for me then if the Jags win. Watching the same

0:24:04.160 --> 0:24:07.480
<v Speaker 2>my same colleagues, some of which I host a show with,

0:24:08.359 --> 0:24:10.119
<v Speaker 2>many of which you know what I mean, or on

0:24:10.200 --> 0:24:13.760
<v Speaker 2>other networks that I like and respect, having on Monday

0:24:13.800 --> 0:24:20.040
<v Speaker 2>morning a month after they were talking on their shows

0:24:20.240 --> 0:24:24.400
<v Speaker 2>or on our show, is brock Perty the NFL's MVP.

0:24:25.320 --> 0:24:30.919
<v Speaker 2>The topic will be is Trevor Lawrence the NFL's MVP,

0:24:31.680 --> 0:24:36.120
<v Speaker 2>And the follow up question is could brock Perty be benched?

0:24:37.080 --> 0:24:41.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm letting you know right now we are one Jags

0:24:42.040 --> 0:24:45.760
<v Speaker 2>win away from that being a conversation. Now. I also

0:24:45.800 --> 0:24:48.120
<v Speaker 2>want to make this clear, I do not think Trevor's

0:24:48.160 --> 0:24:52.320
<v Speaker 2>the NFL MVP. I do think if they win this

0:24:52.400 --> 0:24:55.000
<v Speaker 2>game and get to seven and two in a year,

0:24:55.480 --> 0:25:00.240
<v Speaker 2>there is no standout runaway MVP favorite. It will be

0:25:00.280 --> 0:25:03.480
<v Speaker 2>a discussion. And I am not saying you should bench

0:25:03.520 --> 0:25:07.119
<v Speaker 2>brock Party for Sam Darnold, but I am saying if

0:25:07.160 --> 0:25:10.119
<v Speaker 2>you're the Niners and you've lost four in a row.

0:25:10.320 --> 0:25:14.800
<v Speaker 3>EP by the way, but who is Sorry Lamar Jackson,

0:25:15.520 --> 0:25:17.360
<v Speaker 3>but I get it like they do the whole mate.

0:25:17.400 --> 0:25:21.119
<v Speaker 2>I mean Lamar right now, right now, I think Lamar.

0:25:21.960 --> 0:25:25.560
<v Speaker 2>If the voting were today, I think Lamar would win it.

0:25:25.560 --> 0:25:29.200
<v Speaker 2>It would also be an the reason for a quarterback

0:25:29.880 --> 0:25:33.719
<v Speaker 2>who has nine passing touchdowns through nine games, you can say, oh,

0:25:33.680 --> 0:25:36.560
<v Speaker 2>well running two okay, so fourteen total touchdowns because he

0:25:36.640 --> 0:25:40.359
<v Speaker 2>is five rushing through nine games. That would be a

0:25:40.440 --> 0:25:45.880
<v Speaker 2>below average MVP season. Does that make sense? Like if

0:25:45.880 --> 0:25:48.160
<v Speaker 2>you look at guys who've won MVPs over the last

0:25:48.160 --> 0:25:50.920
<v Speaker 2>few years, there's not one. There's not an Aaron Rodgers

0:25:51.119 --> 0:25:54.480
<v Speaker 2>with thirty eight touchdowns, six picks, Mahomes leading the league

0:25:54.520 --> 0:25:58.000
<v Speaker 2>in points and yards and touchdowns. There isn't one, no

0:25:58.160 --> 0:26:01.639
<v Speaker 2>doubt candidate, you could make a great Lar. I'm not

0:26:01.760 --> 0:26:04.320
<v Speaker 2>arguing against it. I actually we talked on the show

0:26:04.440 --> 0:26:07.680
<v Speaker 2>because there's no standout candidate. Could Joe Burrow get back

0:26:07.720 --> 0:26:11.000
<v Speaker 2>in the conversation even though he was terrible for five

0:26:11.040 --> 0:26:13.480
<v Speaker 2>weeks because he was hurt. The answer is probably yes.

0:26:13.720 --> 0:26:17.600
<v Speaker 2>Like everyone talked about how bad the Chiefs offense has been,

0:26:17.880 --> 0:26:20.800
<v Speaker 2>Mahomes right now is the favorite to win the award

0:26:21.280 --> 0:26:27.560
<v Speaker 2>because there's no standout. So that that's why Trevor despite

0:26:27.600 --> 0:26:30.600
<v Speaker 2>his numbers. I think he has eight touchdowns passing touchdowns

0:26:30.640 --> 0:26:33.480
<v Speaker 2>this year, maybe nine, Like his passing numbers have not

0:26:33.600 --> 0:26:36.280
<v Speaker 2>been super gaudy, and he obviously doesn't run as well

0:26:36.320 --> 0:26:39.479
<v Speaker 2>as Lamar. I do think with the Ravens, the biggest

0:26:39.520 --> 0:26:42.800
<v Speaker 2>story of the Ravens season so far is and we're

0:26:42.960 --> 0:26:44.760
<v Speaker 2>I guess we'll get to it in a second, but

0:26:45.080 --> 0:26:47.440
<v Speaker 2>is their defense more than Lamar as good as Lamar

0:26:47.480 --> 0:26:51.400
<v Speaker 2>has been. Point I'm making is if the Jags win,

0:26:52.520 --> 0:26:55.040
<v Speaker 2>first of all, Trumpeters live and in person on first

0:26:55.040 --> 0:26:59.879
<v Speaker 2>things first, Second of all, uh is Trevor Lawrence the

0:27:00.040 --> 0:27:03.480
<v Speaker 2>NFL MVP will be a talking point, and should the

0:27:03.560 --> 0:27:06.680
<v Speaker 2>Niners give Sam Donald a look will be a talking point.

0:27:07.000 --> 0:27:10.000
<v Speaker 2>By the way, I won't argue for either. I don't

0:27:10.080 --> 0:27:13.200
<v Speaker 2>think Trevor's the MVP even if they win, not yet,

0:27:13.600 --> 0:27:16.200
<v Speaker 2>And I don't think that the Niners should go to

0:27:16.280 --> 0:27:19.439
<v Speaker 2>Donald even if Party plays terribly, But that will be

0:27:19.480 --> 0:27:21.800
<v Speaker 2>a talking point from the very same people that are

0:27:21.800 --> 0:27:24.159
<v Speaker 2>trying to convince me brock Perty was the NFL's MVP.

0:27:24.560 --> 0:27:27.199
<v Speaker 2>Let me ask you one other question before we move on.

0:27:29.200 --> 0:27:39.119
<v Speaker 2>If Party fully falters and also given what pre and

0:27:39.520 --> 0:27:42.280
<v Speaker 2>you know sad he got hurt, but what Daniel Jones

0:27:42.359 --> 0:27:47.040
<v Speaker 2>was looking like before he got hurt. If both of

0:27:47.080 --> 0:27:52.200
<v Speaker 2>those things happen next football season, if we're fortunate enough

0:27:52.240 --> 0:27:57.840
<v Speaker 2>to still be doing this, will you take my quarterback?

0:27:58.440 --> 0:28:00.879
<v Speaker 2>I need to see more. I don't don't quite trust

0:28:00.920 --> 0:28:04.679
<v Speaker 2>them opinions a little more seriously, or will you still

0:28:04.760 --> 0:28:08.440
<v Speaker 2>just think I'm an unrepentant hater. I'm asking you specifically

0:28:11.119 --> 0:28:12.280
<v Speaker 2>storing both of these.

0:28:13.040 --> 0:28:15.159
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it'd be that'd be very fair. I feel like

0:28:15.240 --> 0:28:18.439
<v Speaker 3>I wouldn't call it stupid, but it'd be kind of

0:28:18.480 --> 0:28:21.639
<v Speaker 3>ignorant to ignore that. But uh but yeah, no, I

0:28:21.680 --> 0:28:27.080
<v Speaker 3>definitely I might kind of where I need more test samples.

0:28:27.280 --> 0:28:31.360
<v Speaker 3>But but yeah, there you go. I like it.

0:28:31.680 --> 0:28:32.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, all right, go ahead.

0:28:33.720 --> 0:28:36.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, So does does it offend you or all? Or

0:28:36.359 --> 0:28:38.400
<v Speaker 3>like a little hurt that Trevor Lawrence has no idea

0:28:38.480 --> 0:28:41.320
<v Speaker 3>that like you call him the prince that was promised

0:28:41.360 --> 0:28:42.440
<v Speaker 3>like he kind of like shows me.

0:28:42.440 --> 0:28:44.719
<v Speaker 2>I didn't like that. I got listen. I'll be honest,

0:28:44.880 --> 0:28:48.080
<v Speaker 2>I I didn't like any part of it. I listen now.

0:28:48.800 --> 0:28:53.720
<v Speaker 2>Sam Pepper used to produce He used to produce My

0:28:53.840 --> 0:28:59.280
<v Speaker 2>TV show. He now works for Omaha productions, and I

0:28:59.320 --> 0:29:01.800
<v Speaker 2>think he don't know, but I think he probably had

0:29:01.800 --> 0:29:03.840
<v Speaker 2>a hand in that question being asked. Was trying to

0:29:03.880 --> 0:29:07.200
<v Speaker 2>do me a solid every single part if people didn't

0:29:07.240 --> 0:29:12.360
<v Speaker 2>see it. Peyton asks Trevor Lawrence a question and he

0:29:12.440 --> 0:29:15.520
<v Speaker 2>says Nick right from Fox. And by the way, the

0:29:15.520 --> 0:29:19.000
<v Speaker 2>way he said it, it was not like the next

0:29:19.000 --> 0:29:20.800
<v Speaker 2>words out of his mouth were gonna be like, Oh,

0:29:20.840 --> 0:29:23.720
<v Speaker 2>I love that guy. It was more like who is this?

0:29:24.520 --> 0:29:27.080
<v Speaker 2>Like that was from like it was very clear Peyton.

0:29:27.600 --> 0:29:30.640
<v Speaker 3>Peyton also said when Trevor said that he had no

0:29:30.720 --> 0:29:34.120
<v Speaker 3>idea about it, or does he go by that? And

0:29:34.200 --> 0:29:36.240
<v Speaker 3>Trevor said no, and Peyton was like, good.

0:29:37.080 --> 0:29:42.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so he was. He asked him if so, Peyton says,

0:29:43.200 --> 0:29:45.400
<v Speaker 2>Nick Wright from Fox Sports, you know, has called you

0:29:45.440 --> 0:29:48.120
<v Speaker 2>the prince that was promised. It's also your nickname on

0:29:48.240 --> 0:29:50.440
<v Speaker 2>Pro Football Reference? Has this name called on in the

0:29:50.440 --> 0:29:54.480
<v Speaker 2>locker room? And Trevor said, knowing that he'd never heard it,

0:29:54.760 --> 0:29:58.080
<v Speaker 2>and Peyton said good, and then they left. And I

0:29:58.120 --> 0:30:03.560
<v Speaker 2>will admit, at first demonse that was sad and disappointing,

0:30:04.440 --> 0:30:07.360
<v Speaker 2>and then I realized he's just a humble prince, which

0:30:07.440 --> 0:30:09.480
<v Speaker 2>we need more of. He didn't you know what I mean.

0:30:09.520 --> 0:30:09.840
<v Speaker 3>He did.

0:30:09.920 --> 0:30:14.280
<v Speaker 2>He was humble and didn't want to draw more attention

0:30:14.400 --> 0:30:15.680
<v Speaker 2>to himself, so I understood.

0:30:15.720 --> 0:30:20.360
<v Speaker 3>All right, next, All right, then, Currently the entire AFC

0:30:20.400 --> 0:30:22.960
<v Speaker 3>North holds a playoff spot, with the Ravings leading the way.

0:30:23.000 --> 0:30:26.280
<v Speaker 3>Obviously a predicted team that fits for each of these

0:30:26.320 --> 0:30:31.120
<v Speaker 3>categories by the seasons in division winner strong five seed,

0:30:31.600 --> 0:30:34.720
<v Speaker 3>fighting for the seven seed, or misses playoffs completely.

0:30:35.840 --> 0:30:43.960
<v Speaker 2>All right, the the smart the logical order would be this,

0:30:44.360 --> 0:30:47.360
<v Speaker 2>The Ravens hold on to win the division, the Bengals

0:30:47.360 --> 0:30:51.960
<v Speaker 2>are a terrifying five seed, the Browns get the fight

0:30:52.040 --> 0:30:55.280
<v Speaker 2>for the seven, and the Steelers miss the playoffs completely.

0:30:55.720 --> 0:30:59.959
<v Speaker 2>That's the logical smart if you've been watching them up

0:31:00.040 --> 0:31:02.320
<v Speaker 2>to this point order of how it's going to go,

0:31:02.760 --> 0:31:04.560
<v Speaker 2>I do not think it's going to go that way.

0:31:06.400 --> 0:31:12.880
<v Speaker 2>I think that something funky is gonna happen with either

0:31:13.000 --> 0:31:17.600
<v Speaker 2>Baltimore or Sinsey. I don't know which, but I just

0:31:17.720 --> 0:31:23.000
<v Speaker 2>I feel like right now people are getting a little

0:31:23.200 --> 0:31:26.280
<v Speaker 2>ahead of themselves that we know.

0:31:30.040 --> 0:31:33.240
<v Speaker 3>Like speak it into existence. I think something's funky gonna happen.

0:31:33.840 --> 0:31:37.240
<v Speaker 2>Come on, dude, well, I just I've been doing this

0:31:37.360 --> 0:31:43.000
<v Speaker 2>too long to not have my antenna go up when

0:31:43.880 --> 0:31:51.200
<v Speaker 2>everyone in the media this prematurely has the same opinion,

0:31:52.200 --> 0:31:55.040
<v Speaker 2>and everyone in the media has.

0:31:55.040 --> 0:31:59.960
<v Speaker 3>Essentially prematurely I means just prematurely to the posts.

0:32:00.040 --> 0:32:03.160
<v Speaker 2>And yet well, it's just a ton of football left,

0:32:03.680 --> 0:32:05.680
<v Speaker 2>a ton of football left. We played half of the

0:32:05.760 --> 0:32:10.160
<v Speaker 2>season remains half like as much has been played, that

0:32:10.320 --> 0:32:16.320
<v Speaker 2>much is left. And there is when everyone is in

0:32:16.400 --> 0:32:20.720
<v Speaker 2>agreement seemingly that the AFC North is gonna come down

0:32:20.800 --> 0:32:25.160
<v Speaker 2>to Baltimore in sensey, and when it's it's one thing

0:32:25.400 --> 0:32:29.600
<v Speaker 2>if these two like if you were to be like, well,

0:32:29.720 --> 0:32:32.440
<v Speaker 2>the nfcast is gonna come down to Philly in Dallas,

0:32:32.840 --> 0:32:36.840
<v Speaker 2>it's like, well, the Giants are you know, almost mathematically

0:32:36.880 --> 0:32:41.200
<v Speaker 2>eliminated already, and Washington's trading away its players. Got it.

0:32:41.960 --> 0:32:46.560
<v Speaker 2>But when the Steelers have underperformed as much as they

0:32:46.560 --> 0:32:50.680
<v Speaker 2>have on offense and are still five and three, it

0:32:50.800 --> 0:32:55.719
<v Speaker 2>makes you pause. When the Browns are getting d level

0:32:55.800 --> 0:32:59.520
<v Speaker 2>play from the quarterback position and are still right there,

0:33:00.080 --> 0:33:04.600
<v Speaker 2>you pause. And when you recognize that the Ravens have

0:33:04.720 --> 0:33:08.720
<v Speaker 2>been six and three or better every year. Lamar has

0:33:08.760 --> 0:33:12.360
<v Speaker 2>been a starter and it has gone sideways on them

0:33:12.440 --> 0:33:17.160
<v Speaker 2>multiple times. Now, people are like, well, that's because of injury. Agreed,

0:33:17.800 --> 0:33:21.680
<v Speaker 2>but I think that is just one of the concerns.

0:33:22.080 --> 0:33:25.160
<v Speaker 2>But the other reason that I'm just pumping the brakes

0:33:25.200 --> 0:33:28.760
<v Speaker 2>on it a bit is this, here is the Ravens,

0:33:28.760 --> 0:33:31.840
<v Speaker 2>and I'll then do the Bengals remaining schedule. And by

0:33:31.840 --> 0:33:33.400
<v Speaker 2>the way, the same can be said about the Browns

0:33:33.440 --> 0:33:37.520
<v Speaker 2>and the Steelers to a degree. But here's my question

0:33:37.600 --> 0:33:39.520
<v Speaker 2>for you, Demanse, because I'm gonna read it off to you.

0:33:39.920 --> 0:33:42.160
<v Speaker 3>I see him, so I'm.

0:33:42.080 --> 0:33:45.480
<v Speaker 2>Gonna read it off and my only question is how

0:33:45.520 --> 0:33:48.920
<v Speaker 2>many easy spots do they have? So they are home

0:33:48.960 --> 0:33:52.640
<v Speaker 2>for the Browns, home for the Bengals, at the Chargers,

0:33:53.000 --> 0:33:56.840
<v Speaker 2>home for the Rams, at the Jags, at the Niners,

0:33:57.240 --> 0:34:00.640
<v Speaker 2>home for the Dolphins, home for the Steelers. How many

0:34:00.880 --> 0:34:03.360
<v Speaker 2>easy spots do you count there? Because I know how many,

0:34:03.400 --> 0:34:03.840
<v Speaker 2>I can.

0:34:03.800 --> 0:34:07.280
<v Speaker 3>Say, like kind of one and a half. I think

0:34:07.320 --> 0:34:09.200
<v Speaker 3>will take care of that, But Chargers, I'm not like,

0:34:09.239 --> 0:34:11.799
<v Speaker 3>I feel like we'll take care of that. But same time,

0:34:11.800 --> 0:34:12.800
<v Speaker 3>it can be a little frisky.

0:34:13.760 --> 0:34:17.839
<v Speaker 2>Exactly that is that is the exact math I did.

0:34:17.920 --> 0:34:21.719
<v Speaker 2>The Rams are the one game where you're like, the

0:34:21.840 --> 0:34:25.520
<v Speaker 2>Rams are cooked. They cannot block Baltimore. They cannot And

0:34:25.560 --> 0:34:28.560
<v Speaker 2>then the Chargers. You want that to be an easy game.

0:34:28.880 --> 0:34:31.600
<v Speaker 2>But that was at the Chargers, right, And so it's

0:34:31.640 --> 0:34:34.360
<v Speaker 2>like Baltimore going all the way to the West coast,

0:34:34.840 --> 0:34:37.839
<v Speaker 2>weird spot the Chargers. You just never know what you're

0:34:37.840 --> 0:34:39.760
<v Speaker 2>gonna get to them on a week to week basis.

0:34:40.360 --> 0:34:42.600
<v Speaker 3>We don't know who the Dolphins are yet, and I mean,

0:34:42.640 --> 0:34:44.800
<v Speaker 3>and we're a good team. So it's like when the Dolphins.

0:34:44.800 --> 0:34:49.480
<v Speaker 2>Oh that's fair and that's correct, and that's in Baltimore, right,

0:34:49.920 --> 0:34:55.719
<v Speaker 2>So in Baltimore in January or yeah, into December or January.

0:34:56.040 --> 0:34:59.520
<v Speaker 2>But you follow me that. It's not a there are

0:34:59.560 --> 0:35:02.640
<v Speaker 2>no like, oh, okay, lock up three wins, all right, now,

0:35:02.640 --> 0:35:05.600
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna do Cincinnati do the same thing. Tell me

0:35:05.640 --> 0:35:10.520
<v Speaker 2>the easy games home for the Texans, at the Ravens,

0:35:11.320 --> 0:35:15.960
<v Speaker 2>home for the Steelers, at the Jaguars, home for the Colts,

0:35:16.640 --> 0:35:21.080
<v Speaker 2>home for the Vikings, at the Steelers, at the Chiefs,

0:35:21.560 --> 0:35:26.440
<v Speaker 2>home for the Browns. So how many easy games do

0:35:26.480 --> 0:35:26.919
<v Speaker 2>you count?

0:35:26.960 --> 0:35:34.160
<v Speaker 3>There? About two and a half maybe with so actually

0:35:34.400 --> 0:35:37.120
<v Speaker 3>with the Tech, I mean, Texans be in the half.

0:35:37.960 --> 0:35:40.080
<v Speaker 3>Vikings and Colts I've seen them easily get.

0:35:40.040 --> 0:35:43.280
<v Speaker 2>But Vikings and Colts are the easy are the two games.

0:35:43.280 --> 0:35:46.840
<v Speaker 2>I counted the Texans spot and we'll get to it

0:35:46.880 --> 0:35:49.799
<v Speaker 2>when we do our picks in a minute. You don't know.

0:35:50.520 --> 0:35:54.440
<v Speaker 2>And when you when you're the Bengals and you had

0:35:55.120 --> 0:36:01.520
<v Speaker 2>basically four consecutive season on the line games one in

0:36:01.600 --> 0:36:05.400
<v Speaker 2>three and you're in Arizona, You're season's on the line,

0:36:05.800 --> 0:36:08.000
<v Speaker 2>even though it's early because you're playing the Cardinals. You're

0:36:08.000 --> 0:36:10.920
<v Speaker 2>one and three. You get that win? Yeah, then two

0:36:11.000 --> 0:36:15.839
<v Speaker 2>and three, okay, home for the Seahawks, get that win,

0:36:16.040 --> 0:36:18.560
<v Speaker 2>and then I guess season one on the line anymore.

0:36:18.960 --> 0:36:23.520
<v Speaker 2>But massive spots at the Niners home for the Bills,

0:36:24.040 --> 0:36:27.439
<v Speaker 2>and next week the division is on the line because

0:36:27.440 --> 0:36:31.520
<v Speaker 2>you've already lost to Baltimore at the Ravens. The Texans

0:36:31.560 --> 0:36:35.640
<v Speaker 2>are like the vintage trap game spot and Jamar Chase

0:36:35.719 --> 0:36:38.359
<v Speaker 2>is banged up and all of a sudden, T Higgins mispracticed.

0:36:38.560 --> 0:36:41.240
<v Speaker 2>So I don't consider the Texans right now an easy

0:36:41.320 --> 0:36:45.279
<v Speaker 2>spot at all. Texans meanwhile flying so high off there

0:36:45.480 --> 0:36:51.200
<v Speaker 2>insane win. So moral of the story is, I think,

0:36:51.520 --> 0:36:54.920
<v Speaker 2>to use a you know, a term from political parlance,

0:36:55.520 --> 0:37:00.200
<v Speaker 2>I think it's too early to call the AFSCO. I

0:37:00.280 --> 0:37:03.600
<v Speaker 2>just think, yeah, and and here is the other thing

0:37:04.320 --> 0:37:06.160
<v Speaker 2>that and I know you don't You're gonna say I

0:37:06.160 --> 0:37:09.600
<v Speaker 2>shouldn't speak this into existence, and I'm not trying to.

0:37:09.920 --> 0:37:13.080
<v Speaker 2>But the other thing that would concern me if I

0:37:13.120 --> 0:37:18.760
<v Speaker 2>were any of these four AFC North teams is having

0:37:19.800 --> 0:37:23.600
<v Speaker 2>games this man, if well, the Bengals in particular, having

0:37:24.120 --> 0:37:33.160
<v Speaker 2>Raven Steelers, Steelers Brows four games remaining against divisional rivals,

0:37:33.200 --> 0:37:37.360
<v Speaker 2>all of which that have awesome defenses and want to

0:37:37.480 --> 0:37:43.480
<v Speaker 2>hit the you would really give me anxiety about what

0:37:43.640 --> 0:37:47.920
<v Speaker 2>is even if my team can get rolling, what shape

0:37:47.920 --> 0:37:50.479
<v Speaker 2>are we going to be in physically by the time

0:37:50.520 --> 0:37:54.839
<v Speaker 2>the playoffs start? And for if you're the Bengals, your

0:37:54.880 --> 0:37:59.239
<v Speaker 2>final three games of the year being at Pittsburgh at

0:37:59.360 --> 0:38:02.520
<v Speaker 2>Kansas City home for the Browns, three of the best

0:38:02.560 --> 0:38:08.200
<v Speaker 2>defenses in the league in cold weather, it's a tough spot,

0:38:08.280 --> 0:38:10.600
<v Speaker 2>man well, and so take.

0:38:10.480 --> 0:38:13.359
<v Speaker 3>Care of the next three games. I feel like if

0:38:13.360 --> 0:38:15.200
<v Speaker 3>they if they can come out of the next three

0:38:15.239 --> 0:38:19.560
<v Speaker 3>games two and one, maybe I'd say we're in pretty

0:38:19.600 --> 0:38:23.000
<v Speaker 3>good shape. And honestly, I think my fear to bench

0:38:23.200 --> 0:38:24.960
<v Speaker 3>lamar towards the end of the year.

0:38:26.360 --> 0:38:29.520
<v Speaker 2>Well, probably not if you're trying to get the one seed,

0:38:29.880 --> 0:38:32.840
<v Speaker 2>but maybe the you know I have. I've always thought

0:38:32.920 --> 0:38:37.000
<v Speaker 2>actually the best thing that for a team, that a

0:38:37.000 --> 0:38:39.120
<v Speaker 2>team could have going for him if they can't get

0:38:39.160 --> 0:38:42.880
<v Speaker 2>the one seed is to actually be eliminated from contention

0:38:43.040 --> 0:38:46.040
<v Speaker 2>for it. So in week eighteen, what you don't want

0:38:46.120 --> 0:38:49.600
<v Speaker 2>in week eighteen. Let's say you're the Ravens and you're

0:38:49.640 --> 0:38:53.920
<v Speaker 2>in this scenario in week eighteen, if we win and

0:38:54.200 --> 0:38:58.000
<v Speaker 2>Kansas City loses to the Chargers, we get the one seed.

0:38:58.560 --> 0:39:01.240
<v Speaker 2>You don't want to be in that, se Anario. I

0:39:01.320 --> 0:39:03.840
<v Speaker 2>it's I understand you're like, oh, well, it could happen,

0:39:04.200 --> 0:39:06.800
<v Speaker 2>But then you go all out play all your guys.

0:39:07.080 --> 0:39:10.280
<v Speaker 2>The Chiefs win anyway, you're in the two. You'd almost

0:39:10.520 --> 0:39:14.239
<v Speaker 2>now what you'd rather is it flatly be if we win,

0:39:14.360 --> 0:39:17.080
<v Speaker 2>we're the one seed. We don't need anything else. We win,

0:39:17.160 --> 0:39:20.000
<v Speaker 2>we're the one seed, or have it locked obviously, But

0:39:20.120 --> 0:39:23.440
<v Speaker 2>the next best thing is this, we can't be the

0:39:23.440 --> 0:39:26.800
<v Speaker 2>one seed. The Chiefs have it locked. We're not getting

0:39:26.840 --> 0:39:30.080
<v Speaker 2>the buye. And then you give yourself your own buy

0:39:30.200 --> 0:39:33.200
<v Speaker 2>in week eighteen and rest your guys like, who cares

0:39:33.200 --> 0:39:35.719
<v Speaker 2>if we fall to the three? We just don't you

0:39:35.760 --> 0:39:37.680
<v Speaker 2>know what I mean? We want to give ourselves a

0:39:37.719 --> 0:39:40.680
<v Speaker 2>bye week. And what you don't want is to think

0:39:40.719 --> 0:39:43.480
<v Speaker 2>you're playing for something, go all out and then you

0:39:43.520 --> 0:39:45.480
<v Speaker 2>know then not get it and have.

0:39:45.360 --> 0:39:46.479
<v Speaker 3>To play the very next week.

0:39:46.680 --> 0:39:49.040
<v Speaker 2>But the AFC North point of the story is the

0:39:49.080 --> 0:39:51.959
<v Speaker 2>AFC North is gonna be. I mean, it's the most

0:39:52.000 --> 0:39:55.839
<v Speaker 2>interesting and tightly contested division and I don't know what's

0:39:55.880 --> 0:39:58.160
<v Speaker 2>gonna happen there. All right, quick break to our gambling

<v Speaker 2>Nick Wright Week ten Gambling Show. I told you last week, Demons,

0:41:10.520 --> 0:41:13.239
<v Speaker 2>I felt good about the picks. We not only had

0:41:13.280 --> 0:41:19.400
<v Speaker 2>a winning week, but zero bad picks. Let me, well,

0:41:19.719 --> 0:41:22.960
<v Speaker 2>you know the the I mean, I understand what you're saying,

0:41:23.040 --> 0:41:27.840
<v Speaker 2>but yeah, I mean the royal We Kansas City minus

0:41:27.880 --> 0:41:30.520
<v Speaker 2>a point and a half against Miami. They're of twenty

0:41:30.560 --> 0:41:33.120
<v Speaker 2>one to nothing at a halftime, or covering the entire game.

0:41:33.480 --> 0:41:37.480
<v Speaker 2>Tampa Bay plus three at Houston. I thought that was

0:41:37.520 --> 0:41:40.760
<v Speaker 2>going to be a disgusting push. Did you see, Demonse?

0:41:40.960 --> 0:41:45.280
<v Speaker 2>What so Houston is winning? Baker leads an amazing drive

0:41:45.360 --> 0:41:48.799
<v Speaker 2>down the field, throws a strike. Tampa is now all

0:41:48.840 --> 0:41:53.160
<v Speaker 2>of a sudden up four with forty five seconds left. CJ.

0:41:53.360 --> 0:41:57.640
<v Speaker 2>Stroud then drives Houston down. They score, But Houston in

0:41:57.680 --> 0:42:00.200
<v Speaker 2>that game, their kicker had gotten hurt, so they were

0:42:00.280 --> 0:42:03.880
<v Speaker 2>going for two. They had the backup running back kicking

0:42:04.560 --> 0:42:09.160
<v Speaker 2>field goals. All thing well, right, he had a field goal,

0:42:09.440 --> 0:42:15.040
<v Speaker 2>but up to with six seconds left. Demigo ryans, this

0:42:15.120 --> 0:42:17.800
<v Speaker 2>is not just because he got me the cover. Did's

0:42:17.960 --> 0:42:22.200
<v Speaker 2>this right thing, which was he was nervous to kick

0:42:22.200 --> 0:42:25.359
<v Speaker 2>an extra point because he is a backup kicker, and

0:42:25.400 --> 0:42:28.120
<v Speaker 2>he didn't want to go for two because if you

0:42:28.120 --> 0:42:31.759
<v Speaker 2>you're up to, if you turn it over, the other

0:42:31.880 --> 0:42:34.360
<v Speaker 2>team can return it for two points and it's a

0:42:34.440 --> 0:42:38.319
<v Speaker 2>tie game. So he did something that has rarely been

0:42:38.320 --> 0:42:41.200
<v Speaker 2>done in NFL history, but is smart, even smarter than

0:42:41.280 --> 0:42:44.160
<v Speaker 2>kicking the extra point there because it could be blocked

0:42:44.200 --> 0:42:48.560
<v Speaker 2>and returned. He took a knee on the extra point,

0:42:48.880 --> 0:42:52.320
<v Speaker 2>so which you never see but was the sharp play

0:42:52.880 --> 0:42:56.240
<v Speaker 2>and made my Tampa plus three cover now Atlanta minus

0:42:56.239 --> 0:42:59.279
<v Speaker 2>four and a half against Minnesota. DeMont, Yeah, I think

0:42:59.280 --> 0:43:02.799
<v Speaker 2>he's been excellent. Demond's eight. You know, tried to talk

0:43:02.880 --> 0:43:05.480
<v Speaker 2>me out of He's like, you keep fading these quarterbacks

0:43:05.800 --> 0:43:07.800
<v Speaker 2>just based on the fact their quarterbacks you keep losing.

0:43:08.800 --> 0:43:13.080
<v Speaker 2>Here's the deal. The quarterback I was fading, Jaren Hall

0:43:13.560 --> 0:43:17.960
<v Speaker 2>immediately got injured, and then Josh Dobbs comes in and Cooks.

0:43:18.400 --> 0:43:20.799
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't have laid four and a half points with

0:43:20.960 --> 0:43:25.680
<v Speaker 2>Taylor Heineke against Josh Dobbs. Josh Dobbs is legit. Aila

0:43:25.760 --> 0:43:27.600
<v Speaker 2>was laying four and a half points with Taylor Heineke

0:43:27.719 --> 0:43:31.520
<v Speaker 2>against Jaren Hall. Jaren Hall got injured. Not fair, but whatever.

0:43:31.880 --> 0:43:36.239
<v Speaker 2>Dallas plus three against Philly. If Dak doesn't step out,

0:43:36.440 --> 0:43:38.680
<v Speaker 2>you know we're covering. They still have a chance to

0:43:38.719 --> 0:43:41.120
<v Speaker 2>win outright. I don't feel badly about that pick. I

0:43:41.160 --> 0:43:43.000
<v Speaker 2>feel like taking the points to the right side there.

0:43:43.239 --> 0:43:45.280
<v Speaker 2>And the Chargers minds three and a half against the Jets.

0:43:45.520 --> 0:43:48.640
<v Speaker 2>They annihilated him, so that's three and two. So that

0:43:48.800 --> 0:43:53.840
<v Speaker 2>means despite the fact that on TV it's been shaky,

0:43:54.520 --> 0:43:58.040
<v Speaker 2>and despite the fact that we have not you know,

0:43:58.200 --> 0:44:03.239
<v Speaker 2>had the monster weak yet Demanse, we're just twenty one

0:44:03.280 --> 0:44:10.200
<v Speaker 2>and twenty four, which means we are minus five point

0:44:10.280 --> 0:44:14.800
<v Speaker 2>four units on the year, So one perfect week away

0:44:14.840 --> 0:44:17.600
<v Speaker 2>from being above five hundred and the picks and being

0:44:17.719 --> 0:44:24.200
<v Speaker 2>right at even almost in the actual dollars. And this

0:44:24.360 --> 0:44:28.479
<v Speaker 2>is the exact situation we found ourselves in last year

0:44:29.320 --> 0:44:32.759
<v Speaker 2>before we got red hot to finish the year. I

0:44:32.840 --> 0:44:35.080
<v Speaker 2>do believe last year, after nine weeks we were twenty

0:44:35.080 --> 0:44:37.640
<v Speaker 2>one and twenty four. Now we've gotten here this year

0:44:37.640 --> 0:44:40.480
<v Speaker 2>on a somewhat circuitous path. Last year I think we

0:44:40.520 --> 0:44:43.080
<v Speaker 2>had some own five, some five and oh's. This year

0:44:43.080 --> 0:44:46.719
<v Speaker 2>it has simply literally been, I believe two and three

0:44:46.880 --> 0:44:50.520
<v Speaker 2>or three and two every single week. If we go

0:44:50.640 --> 0:44:53.880
<v Speaker 2>four and one, we're at five hundred. If we go

0:44:54.080 --> 0:44:57.960
<v Speaker 2>five and oh, we're above five hundred. Let's get going.

0:44:58.120 --> 0:44:59.520
<v Speaker 2>What's my first pick of the week.

0:45:00.400 --> 0:45:03.839
<v Speaker 3>First pick is Jacksonville plus three versus San Francisco.

0:45:05.160 --> 0:45:07.120
<v Speaker 2>All right, so they're both coming off of bye, so

0:45:07.200 --> 0:45:12.120
<v Speaker 2>that's a wash. San Francisco traveling cross country for a

0:45:12.200 --> 0:45:17.640
<v Speaker 2>one o'clock start, tough spot. Brock Purdy has not been

0:45:17.640 --> 0:45:21.440
<v Speaker 2>a good road quarterback this year. Doug Peterson seven and

0:45:21.600 --> 0:45:24.880
<v Speaker 2>one last eight games against the spread as an underdog,

0:45:25.280 --> 0:45:28.120
<v Speaker 2>Trevor Lawrence whenever he has extended rest, three and oh,

0:45:28.200 --> 0:45:31.960
<v Speaker 2>straight up and against the spread. And I simply think

0:45:32.719 --> 0:45:37.080
<v Speaker 2>that this Niners defense right now is a touch overrated

0:45:38.040 --> 0:45:41.600
<v Speaker 2>now and I think that there are right right now

0:45:41.680 --> 0:45:45.480
<v Speaker 2>real cracks in the armor for that Niners offense. Now,

0:45:45.560 --> 0:45:50.359
<v Speaker 2>obviously this is a game where the injury report is

0:45:50.400 --> 0:45:53.160
<v Speaker 2>going to matter a ton if you check the forty

0:45:53.239 --> 0:45:55.160
<v Speaker 2>nine ers injury report, and this is where doing the

0:45:55.160 --> 0:45:59.680
<v Speaker 2>picks Thursday morning is tough. But Trent Williams is still

0:45:59.800 --> 0:46:05.319
<v Speaker 2>not practicing, so that is highly concerning for San Francisco. Now,

0:46:05.400 --> 0:46:10.960
<v Speaker 2>fortunately for them, uh Deebo Samuel was a full participant,

0:46:11.000 --> 0:46:14.719
<v Speaker 2>so he will be back. The Jags injury report is

0:46:14.800 --> 0:46:19.240
<v Speaker 2>pretty damn clean. I think the Jags win the game outright.

0:46:19.360 --> 0:46:22.440
<v Speaker 2>I certainly like them plus three. The Jags defense has

0:46:22.480 --> 0:46:26.040
<v Speaker 2>been underrated and that Niners offense has not been humming

0:46:26.360 --> 0:46:29.479
<v Speaker 2>the Jags running game. People are gonna talk more about

0:46:29.480 --> 0:46:32.279
<v Speaker 2>Travis etsy In after this game. I like the Jacksonville

0:46:32.360 --> 0:46:35.799
<v Speaker 2>Jaguars coming off of bye at home getting the full

0:46:35.840 --> 0:46:39.640
<v Speaker 2>three points against San Francisco. Your thoughts, demons.

0:46:40.080 --> 0:46:43.000
<v Speaker 3>I like that one. I honestly do not believe in

0:46:43.480 --> 0:46:46.800
<v Speaker 3>I don't. I'm not. I don't want to say I

0:46:46.840 --> 0:46:48.280
<v Speaker 3>don't believe in Brock Party.

0:46:48.360 --> 0:46:56.799
<v Speaker 2>But wow, wow you've come around. Wow all right?

0:46:56.880 --> 0:47:00.359
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean yeah, three three three game. I'm losing

0:47:00.400 --> 0:47:03.520
<v Speaker 3>streak coming off of by I mean, but next you've

0:47:03.520 --> 0:47:06.280
<v Speaker 3>got Cleveland plus six at Baltimore.

0:47:07.560 --> 0:47:13.440
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so this is not me picking the Browns to

0:47:13.480 --> 0:47:16.640
<v Speaker 2>win out right. This is me saying the Brown this

0:47:16.840 --> 0:47:22.239
<v Speaker 2>is statistically the two best defenses in football, and it's

0:47:22.280 --> 0:47:26.400
<v Speaker 2>a divisional matchup and I'm getting six points. Now, I

0:47:26.440 --> 0:47:30.120
<v Speaker 2>know the Ravens Demonse have blown out the Lions and

0:47:30.160 --> 0:47:34.560
<v Speaker 2>the Seahawks. So here is an importance, man. Yeah, so

0:47:34.719 --> 0:47:38.080
<v Speaker 2>here is an important note on this. Lamar is now

0:47:38.120 --> 0:47:42.960
<v Speaker 2>I think eighteen and one in his career against the NFC,

0:47:43.719 --> 0:47:47.600
<v Speaker 2>which tells you a few things. Most notably is if

0:47:47.640 --> 0:47:51.560
<v Speaker 2>you don't face Lamar often or you almost never face

0:47:51.640 --> 0:47:55.560
<v Speaker 2>him as these NFC teams, you can't. You can't deal

0:47:55.600 --> 0:47:59.560
<v Speaker 2>with him if you see him twice a year. I'm

0:47:59.600 --> 0:48:01.960
<v Speaker 2>not saying he's easy to deal with, but you at

0:48:02.080 --> 0:48:07.240
<v Speaker 2>least have some familiarity. You can draw upon game plans

0:48:07.320 --> 0:48:12.239
<v Speaker 2>that you previously had. Now, Baltimore played Cleveland earlier this

0:48:12.360 --> 0:48:15.640
<v Speaker 2>year and annihilated him twenty seven to three. But if

0:48:15.680 --> 0:48:20.640
<v Speaker 2>you remember, that was the game that Deshaun Watson mourning

0:48:20.719 --> 0:48:24.440
<v Speaker 2>of was like I can't play sorry, guys, Dorian Thompson, Robinson,

0:48:24.480 --> 0:48:27.680
<v Speaker 2>good luck buddy. So I'm not throwing that one out,

0:48:28.239 --> 0:48:32.520
<v Speaker 2>but I am putting a little mini asterisk just on

0:48:32.920 --> 0:48:36.880
<v Speaker 2>how much of a blowout it was I'm getting six points.

0:48:38.239 --> 0:48:42.200
<v Speaker 2>Lamar over the last three years is four and fourteen

0:48:42.280 --> 0:48:45.440
<v Speaker 2>against the spread when he's favored by more than three,

0:48:46.160 --> 0:48:49.520
<v Speaker 2>and he's three and eight at home against the AFC

0:48:49.560 --> 0:48:56.000
<v Speaker 2>North against the spread in his career. And so Cleveland

0:48:56.040 --> 0:48:59.919
<v Speaker 2>getting a full six points in a game that feel

0:49:00.440 --> 0:49:04.240
<v Speaker 2>very twenty to seventeen ish to me, I'll take Cleveland

0:49:04.320 --> 0:49:05.800
<v Speaker 2>plus the six go ahead.

0:49:06.080 --> 0:49:10.640
<v Speaker 3>I don't like it. I'm never I'm never gonna do

0:49:10.719 --> 0:49:15.280
<v Speaker 3>this again, betting straight up line teaser. I'm not betting

0:49:15.320 --> 0:49:18.640
<v Speaker 3>against the Ravens. I just think that on any given

0:49:18.719 --> 0:49:21.279
<v Speaker 3>Sunday they are liable to blow a team the hell

0:49:21.280 --> 0:49:24.040
<v Speaker 3>out of the water, and I just am not going

0:49:24.200 --> 0:49:24.720
<v Speaker 3>that's fair.

0:49:25.760 --> 0:49:29.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no, no, I understand. I just it's a divisional game,

0:49:30.040 --> 0:49:32.360
<v Speaker 2>tough opponent. Six points is too much.

0:49:32.520 --> 0:49:36.239
<v Speaker 3>Next, all right, you got Houston plus seven at Cincinnati?

0:49:37.280 --> 0:49:41.480
<v Speaker 2>All right, I'm getting a full seven. Jamar Chase did

0:49:41.560 --> 0:49:45.480
<v Speaker 2>not practice yesterday and T Higgins all of a sudden

0:49:45.920 --> 0:49:50.239
<v Speaker 2>popped up on the injury report, limited the While the

0:49:50.280 --> 0:49:56.720
<v Speaker 2>Bengals right now they need every game. They really must

0:49:56.760 --> 0:50:01.640
<v Speaker 2>have next week's game against Baltimore, So why does that matter?

0:50:02.280 --> 0:50:06.719
<v Speaker 2>I think they will be extra cautious demanse, certainly with

0:50:06.880 --> 0:50:11.680
<v Speaker 2>Chase and maybe also with Higgins. Higgins it's a soft

0:50:11.680 --> 0:50:15.920
<v Speaker 2>tissue thing. So if they are worried, if we push

0:50:16.000 --> 0:50:19.480
<v Speaker 2>him to go this week and he can't play against Baltimore,

0:50:20.320 --> 0:50:23.680
<v Speaker 2>they could be cooked for the division. Jamar Chase hurt

0:50:23.680 --> 0:50:27.600
<v Speaker 2>his back, I don't expect him to play. He had

0:50:27.600 --> 0:50:32.440
<v Speaker 2>the massive win against San Francisco, huge win against Buffalo.

0:50:33.120 --> 0:50:38.640
<v Speaker 2>Next week you have Baltimore. So this is a spot

0:50:39.040 --> 0:50:43.200
<v Speaker 2>that I think Cincinnati could trip up. It certainly is

0:50:43.239 --> 0:50:46.840
<v Speaker 2>a spot that they are not going for style points.

0:50:46.880 --> 0:50:48.839
<v Speaker 2>They are not gonna if they get a lead, they

0:50:48.840 --> 0:50:51.200
<v Speaker 2>will just try to hold on to it for dear life,

0:50:51.760 --> 0:50:54.200
<v Speaker 2>get everyone healthy and get to next week. So I'm

0:50:54.200 --> 0:50:58.719
<v Speaker 2>getting a full seven points with a quarterback that I

0:50:58.840 --> 0:51:03.439
<v Speaker 2>like a lot. They've shown you in Houston. The back

0:51:03.520 --> 0:51:07.840
<v Speaker 2>door cover is alive. At they canna be down thirteen points,

0:51:07.880 --> 0:51:09.759
<v Speaker 2>They're gonna be, you know, throwing it to try to

0:51:09.840 --> 0:51:14.880
<v Speaker 2>just keep in rhythm, and I think Houston could win outright.

0:51:15.440 --> 0:51:20.400
<v Speaker 2>I definitely think they can at least keep this relatively close.

0:51:20.840 --> 0:51:24.520
<v Speaker 2>They're healthier, they are you know, this is a massive

0:51:24.600 --> 0:51:28.120
<v Speaker 2>spot for them where to kind of announce themselves as

0:51:28.160 --> 0:51:29.239
<v Speaker 2>a real playoff can.

0:51:30.719 --> 0:51:33.719
<v Speaker 3>Contention, Who's Who's this a bigger game for it? It's

0:51:33.719 --> 0:51:36.759
<v Speaker 3>got to be Cincinnati, right, Well would be.

0:51:38.040 --> 0:51:43.680
<v Speaker 2>Here's the thing, yes and no, yes, and that Cincinnati is,

0:51:43.800 --> 0:51:46.600
<v Speaker 2>you know, trying to be a super Bowl contender, so

0:51:46.680 --> 0:51:47.800
<v Speaker 2>all their games are bigger.

0:51:48.640 --> 0:51:48.719
<v Speaker 3>No.

0:51:49.239 --> 0:51:54.080
<v Speaker 2>In this regard, for Houston, you could argue this is

0:51:54.200 --> 0:51:58.160
<v Speaker 2>one of their biggest games of the year, and for

0:51:58.320 --> 0:52:02.640
<v Speaker 2>Cincinnati it's their least big game of the last month

0:52:02.800 --> 0:52:07.520
<v Speaker 2>or the games moving forward because they have Baltimore they had,

0:52:07.520 --> 0:52:09.800
<v Speaker 2>but you know what I mean, And so in that regard,

0:52:09.840 --> 0:52:13.320
<v Speaker 2>this game just means more for Houston. And I'm getting

0:52:13.320 --> 0:52:17.040
<v Speaker 2>seven points, and so I'm going with Houston go ahead.

0:52:18.000 --> 0:52:20.960
<v Speaker 3>This one directly contradicts my teaser. I hate it when

0:52:21.000 --> 0:52:25.759
<v Speaker 3>that happens, but sorry sticking it out. But yeah, I

0:52:25.800 --> 0:52:28.680
<v Speaker 3>think it's a good to logical bet. So next, you've

0:52:28.760 --> 0:52:31.760
<v Speaker 3>got Detroit minus three at the Chargers.

0:52:33.040 --> 0:52:35.720
<v Speaker 2>All right, This was the one I struggled with the most.

0:52:36.520 --> 0:52:42.680
<v Speaker 2>But Detroit coming off of Bye Detroit in a spot

0:52:42.760 --> 0:52:49.879
<v Speaker 2>where I feel like, because they got rolled the way

0:52:49.920 --> 0:52:54.960
<v Speaker 2>they did by Baltimore, people you know, kind of were like, oh Okay,

0:52:54.920 --> 0:52:57.920
<v Speaker 2>that's not that's not a real, you know, contender team.

0:52:58.400 --> 0:53:01.160
<v Speaker 2>But as we then saw Balton more Roles Seattle know,

0:53:01.320 --> 0:53:04.480
<v Speaker 2>maybe Seattle's not a real contender team either. There are

0:53:04.640 --> 0:53:07.000
<v Speaker 2>some things Baltimore can do that no one else can.

0:53:07.440 --> 0:53:12.600
<v Speaker 2>The Chargers we're a little too happy with themselves with

0:53:12.680 --> 0:53:15.320
<v Speaker 2>the win over the Jets in a game where once

0:53:15.360 --> 0:53:19.880
<v Speaker 2>again their offense didn't look great. The Detroit is off

0:53:19.920 --> 0:53:23.520
<v Speaker 2>a bye the Chargers played Monday. I always hate when

0:53:23.520 --> 0:53:26.239
<v Speaker 2>the NFL does that to teams, like it's not only

0:53:26.280 --> 0:53:28.000
<v Speaker 2>does the other team have an extra week, but the

0:53:28.080 --> 0:53:31.960
<v Speaker 2>Chargers don't even have the full week. The Lions, aside

0:53:32.000 --> 0:53:35.080
<v Speaker 2>from that Ravens game, have been a covering machine, and

0:53:35.160 --> 0:53:39.760
<v Speaker 2>the Chargers are not a trustworthy team in my opinion.

0:53:40.400 --> 0:53:43.719
<v Speaker 2>And so for all those reasons, do I think Detroit's

0:53:43.760 --> 0:53:47.480
<v Speaker 2>going to win? And I listen, Do I love laying

0:53:47.560 --> 0:53:50.680
<v Speaker 2>the full field goal on the road? I don't, But

0:53:50.719 --> 0:53:54.839
<v Speaker 2>it's what the line is. I'll take all tepidly. Take

0:53:54.880 --> 0:53:56.120
<v Speaker 2>Detroit minus three.

0:53:56.880 --> 0:54:01.760
<v Speaker 3>Next, got Dallas minus sixteen and a half versus the Giants.

0:54:02.640 --> 0:54:06.560
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I understand that in theory, laying sixteen and a

0:54:06.600 --> 0:54:13.520
<v Speaker 2>half points is super square. I mean this sincerely doubt.

0:54:13.680 --> 0:54:18.920
<v Speaker 2>If Dallas gets to twenty four, it is impossible they

0:54:18.920 --> 0:54:23.879
<v Speaker 2>don't cover. If they get to twenty they might cover,

0:54:25.120 --> 0:54:30.200
<v Speaker 2>and at seventeen they could cover. The New York Giants

0:54:30.280 --> 0:54:36.960
<v Speaker 2>offense with Tommy DeVito playing quarterback with their offensive line injuries,

0:54:37.640 --> 0:54:42.120
<v Speaker 2>I would and I might make this bet. I bet

0:54:42.440 --> 0:54:48.000
<v Speaker 2>the Dallas defense outscores the Giants offense. I bet the

0:54:48.160 --> 0:54:53.720
<v Speaker 2>Dallas defense has more defensive touchdowns than the Giants offense

0:54:53.760 --> 0:55:00.480
<v Speaker 2>has offensive touchdowns. The Giants are right now, given the injuries,

0:55:00.880 --> 0:55:06.120
<v Speaker 2>the worst team in the NFL, and Dallas is what

0:55:06.160 --> 0:55:09.120
<v Speaker 2>they have shown us this year. Whether the Super Bowl

0:55:09.120 --> 0:55:13.440
<v Speaker 2>contender or not, we can argue about is they annihilate teams,

0:55:13.920 --> 0:55:17.600
<v Speaker 2>annihilate them. They beat the Giants forty to nothing already

0:55:17.640 --> 0:55:21.920
<v Speaker 2>this year, and that was with the Giants having Daniel

0:55:22.000 --> 0:55:25.279
<v Speaker 2>Jones at quarterback. They are now have Tommy DeVito at

0:55:25.360 --> 0:55:29.840
<v Speaker 2>quarterback with Matt Barkley signed the team. I think that

0:55:30.760 --> 0:55:33.480
<v Speaker 2>Dak owns THENOT. I think I know Dak owns the

0:55:33.600 --> 0:55:36.600
<v Speaker 2>NFC East. The Giants right now are the worst team

0:55:36.640 --> 0:55:39.640
<v Speaker 2>in the league. It's a big number, all lay the

0:55:39.640 --> 0:55:44.080
<v Speaker 2>big number. This is a Cowboys blowout. This feels like

0:55:44.239 --> 0:55:47.960
<v Speaker 2>thirty to three Dallas. I'll lay the sixteen and a half.

0:55:48.440 --> 0:55:49.800
<v Speaker 2>Your thoughts, Demant, say.

0:55:50.160 --> 0:55:53.279
<v Speaker 3>My thoughts is Dallas minus sixteen and a half. That's

0:55:53.320 --> 0:55:55.200
<v Speaker 3>a huge number those are.

0:55:56.320 --> 0:55:59.279
<v Speaker 2>It is a huge number. It is. I mean, there's

0:55:59.320 --> 0:56:00.000
<v Speaker 2>no doubt about that.

0:56:01.080 --> 0:56:03.600
<v Speaker 3>I think that little rant that you just went on

0:56:03.760 --> 0:56:06.600
<v Speaker 3>might have been more disrespectful than any other rant that

0:56:06.640 --> 0:56:09.000
<v Speaker 3>I've heard you go on. And there was the time.

0:56:09.280 --> 0:56:11.440
<v Speaker 2>Listen, the Giants are. The Giants are with.

0:56:12.480 --> 0:56:14.040
<v Speaker 3>It's seventeen points, but.

0:56:15.719 --> 0:56:17.839
<v Speaker 2>I mean they can shut them out. All right. So

0:56:17.880 --> 0:56:21.480
<v Speaker 2>here's my five picks for the week. We're taking three dogs,

0:56:21.520 --> 0:56:24.080
<v Speaker 2>two favorites. One of them is a massive favorite. Jags

0:56:24.080 --> 0:56:26.359
<v Speaker 2>plus three against the Niners. I think they went out right.

0:56:26.400 --> 0:56:29.319
<v Speaker 2>Cleveland plus six at Baltimore. I think they keep it close.

0:56:29.440 --> 0:56:33.640
<v Speaker 2>Houston plus seven at Cincinnati. Sneaky trap game spot for Cincinnati.

0:56:33.840 --> 0:56:37.360
<v Speaker 2>Detroit laying three at the Chargers. Don't love it. Dallas

0:56:37.400 --> 0:56:40.160
<v Speaker 2>minus sixteen and a half against the Giants. Love it.

0:56:40.480 --> 0:56:42.680
<v Speaker 2>There are the five picks for the week. All right now,

0:56:42.680 --> 0:56:43.960
<v Speaker 2>Demonse's teaser.

0:56:45.719 --> 0:56:48.200
<v Speaker 3>So energy seemed to go down when you when you

0:56:48.200 --> 0:56:48.799
<v Speaker 3>were all right?

0:56:48.920 --> 0:56:50.520
<v Speaker 2>So, first of all, our producer.

0:56:51.080 --> 0:56:52.600
<v Speaker 3>I got the Miami one right.

0:56:52.880 --> 0:56:55.440
<v Speaker 2>The Miami one, you got right. It's in red, but

0:56:55.480 --> 0:57:00.000
<v Speaker 2>it should be in green. Demonse's teaser was Miami plus

0:57:00.200 --> 0:57:02.600
<v Speaker 2>eight and a half, which covered see we can put

0:57:02.600 --> 0:57:04.800
<v Speaker 2>it on the screen. Guys, it's all right, Seattle plus

0:57:04.840 --> 0:57:09.160
<v Speaker 2>twelve and a half, which I warned him against. I

0:57:09.280 --> 0:57:12.239
<v Speaker 2>told him the Ravens screwed him before. He didn't care.

0:57:12.880 --> 0:57:15.479
<v Speaker 2>It didn't cover, and in Cleveland minus a half point

0:57:15.480 --> 0:57:19.320
<v Speaker 2>against Arizona that did cover. Demond's season record on the

0:57:19.400 --> 0:57:25.880
<v Speaker 2>years one to eight. So the bright side is, uh,

0:57:25.920 --> 0:57:29.880
<v Speaker 2>you can still finish above five hundred. The downside is

0:57:29.920 --> 0:57:32.320
<v Speaker 2>to finish above five hundred, you have to go undefeated

0:57:32.360 --> 0:57:36.160
<v Speaker 2>the rest of the way. So it's unlikely, but it's

0:57:36.240 --> 0:57:39.000
<v Speaker 2>on the board. What are we doing this week?

0:57:40.880 --> 0:57:42.800
<v Speaker 3>All right, it's time to make a comeback, guys. I've

0:57:42.800 --> 0:57:44.960
<v Speaker 3>got some And just look at it as like, you

0:57:45.000 --> 0:57:47.480
<v Speaker 3>know how when you learn a new language, like you're

0:57:47.520 --> 0:57:51.000
<v Speaker 3>learning Spanish, they tell you to behave or act as

0:57:51.040 --> 0:57:53.480
<v Speaker 3>if you were a baby and you're a sponge and

0:57:53.600 --> 0:57:55.760
<v Speaker 3>just like trying to take it in solely. That's what

0:57:55.800 --> 0:57:58.760
<v Speaker 3>we're doing on these teasers, guys. I've got new rules

0:57:58.760 --> 0:58:01.400
<v Speaker 3>and principles that I'm gonna as the season goes on,

0:58:01.880 --> 0:58:04.360
<v Speaker 3>and then hopefully, like like my dad said, if we

0:58:04.440 --> 0:58:07.640
<v Speaker 3>have the graciousness to be doing this next year, we'll

0:58:07.640 --> 0:58:10.560
<v Speaker 3>get better. But hey, this is not me being down myself.

0:58:10.560 --> 0:58:12.560
<v Speaker 3>This is this is a winning teaser right here. This week,

0:58:12.760 --> 0:58:16.120
<v Speaker 3>you got a three team seven and a half point teaser.

0:58:16.480 --> 0:58:19.080
<v Speaker 3>Know you love those half points at plus one oh five. Yeah,

0:58:20.200 --> 0:58:23.400
<v Speaker 3>we got Jacksonville. We're teasing them up to plus ten

0:58:23.440 --> 0:58:27.120
<v Speaker 3>and a half. We got Minnesota, we're teasing them up

0:58:27.120 --> 0:58:31.080
<v Speaker 3>to plus ten. We got Cincinnati, and we're just basically

0:58:31.080 --> 0:58:37.160
<v Speaker 3>making them a pick them versus the Texans. Hey, man,

0:58:37.920 --> 0:58:41.040
<v Speaker 3>go ahead, Yeah, the whole little Texans, the whole the

0:58:41.600 --> 0:58:43.960
<v Speaker 3>no the Texans talk that you had. I don't want

0:58:44.000 --> 0:58:47.560
<v Speaker 3>to say it got me down, but Texans plus fourteen

0:58:47.640 --> 0:58:50.440
<v Speaker 3>and a half would be sweet versus the Bengals. But

0:58:51.320 --> 0:58:53.600
<v Speaker 3>I'm very confident that the Bengals are gonna win that game.

0:58:54.360 --> 0:58:57.600
<v Speaker 3>As far as Minnesota, I've got no worries that they'll

0:58:57.600 --> 0:59:00.720
<v Speaker 3>go out there and be within ten points of the

0:59:00.800 --> 0:59:04.240
<v Speaker 3>New Orleans Saints and then Jacksonville. Like I said, I

0:59:04.360 --> 0:59:06.200
<v Speaker 3>just trust Trevor Lawrence A little bit more than I

0:59:06.240 --> 0:59:08.960
<v Speaker 3>trust Brock Party. They're on the winning street. Brock parties

0:59:08.960 --> 0:59:10.920
<v Speaker 3>on the losing street. They're both coming off a bye.

0:59:11.640 --> 0:59:12.800
<v Speaker 3>What do you want to say? I feel like he

0:59:12.840 --> 0:59:14.680
<v Speaker 3>got something to say about Cincinnati.

0:59:15.160 --> 0:59:18.800
<v Speaker 2>The Vikings one worries me a bit. I stayed away

0:59:18.800 --> 0:59:22.440
<v Speaker 2>from that game. I just wonder if there's a bit

0:59:22.480 --> 0:59:25.360
<v Speaker 2>of an emotional let down there still playing a quarterback

0:59:25.400 --> 0:59:27.800
<v Speaker 2>that just got in the building. Saints have been playing well,

0:59:27.800 --> 0:59:30.960
<v Speaker 2>it's not terrible. You obviously know where I stand on

0:59:31.600 --> 0:59:35.320
<v Speaker 2>not only teasing across the zero, but the Texans Bengals

0:59:35.360 --> 0:59:39.600
<v Speaker 2>game in general. I don't love it. I'm not gonna

0:59:39.600 --> 0:59:44.040
<v Speaker 2>lie to you there. If I were to construct a

0:59:44.200 --> 0:59:49.919
<v Speaker 2>teaser for the weekend, I am, I am, I'm trying

0:59:49.960 --> 0:59:52.360
<v Speaker 2>to This is not a great teaser weekend. I'm not

0:59:52.400 --> 0:59:55.000
<v Speaker 2>gonna lie to you on that front either.

0:59:55.800 --> 0:59:58.520
<v Speaker 3>All right, Wait, hold on, I'm hijacking the teaser boath.

0:59:58.560 --> 1:00:01.960
<v Speaker 3>Hey take Cincinnati out play US one. We're doing Texans

1:00:02.000 --> 1:00:03.200
<v Speaker 3>plus fourteen and a half.

1:00:03.440 --> 1:00:06.680
<v Speaker 2>Wait you're wait, You're just keeping the same game and

1:00:06.760 --> 1:00:07.520
<v Speaker 2>switching it.

1:00:08.080 --> 1:00:10.160
<v Speaker 3>One thousand percent. What's the problem.

1:00:10.360 --> 1:00:12.640
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I'm with you. You know what? Good for you? Pal,

1:00:12.800 --> 1:00:14.880
<v Speaker 2>This is how you turn it around. I thought you

1:00:14.920 --> 1:00:17.880
<v Speaker 2>were gonna be like putting the Cowboys to minus nine

1:00:17.960 --> 1:00:22.720
<v Speaker 2>or something. No, duh, oh, that's not a bad one.

1:00:22.760 --> 1:00:26.560
<v Speaker 2>By the way, Texas Cowboys down to minus nine, and

1:00:26.600 --> 1:00:28.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm saying, but they always down to my sign is

1:00:28.600 --> 1:00:29.280
<v Speaker 2>not a bad one.

1:00:30.280 --> 1:00:32.919
<v Speaker 3>No hundred percent. No, As you were saying that they could.

1:00:33.440 --> 1:00:35.200
<v Speaker 3>The whole rant that you went on made me think

1:00:35.240 --> 1:00:38.320
<v Speaker 3>about putting the Cowboys. But I mean, no, I'm not

1:00:38.360 --> 1:00:40.680
<v Speaker 3>going to carry away from the game entirely. I want

1:00:40.680 --> 1:00:41.840
<v Speaker 3>to keep the Texans in there.

1:00:43.000 --> 1:00:44.640
<v Speaker 2>I was thinking of it. Okay, all right, so we

1:00:44.720 --> 1:00:46.720
<v Speaker 2>got Jacks plus ten and a half, Minnesota plus ten

1:00:46.720 --> 1:00:48.560
<v Speaker 2>and a half, using plus fourteen and a half. This

1:00:48.760 --> 1:00:51.600
<v Speaker 2>is how you turn it around. What's the offer this week, demons?

1:00:52.240 --> 1:00:54.840
<v Speaker 3>The offer this week is called Nick was right? Uh

1:00:54.960 --> 1:00:57.760
<v Speaker 3>prety under one and a half touchdowns under two hundred

1:00:57.760 --> 1:01:00.520
<v Speaker 3>and thirty nine and a half yards and the over

1:01:00.560 --> 1:01:03.320
<v Speaker 3>one and a half touchdowns over two hundred and forty

1:01:03.320 --> 1:01:06.320
<v Speaker 3>one and a half yards odds are plus eleven hundred.

1:01:07.480 --> 1:01:10.640
<v Speaker 3>You want that? So you don't want that because of

1:01:10.680 --> 1:01:13.000
<v Speaker 3>the San Francisco defense, and we're not sure.

1:01:13.160 --> 1:01:16.240
<v Speaker 2>No, no, no, no, I'm a little worried if the

1:01:16.360 --> 1:01:20.240
<v Speaker 2>Jags are winning the game. It's always if you think

1:01:20.280 --> 1:01:22.000
<v Speaker 2>the Jags can win the game out right, you're a

1:01:22.000 --> 1:01:29.160
<v Speaker 2>little nervous of the underpassing yardage numbers for the opposing quarterback. Uh,

1:01:29.400 --> 1:01:32.400
<v Speaker 2>here's the deal. I'm gonna decline that offer, but I

1:01:32.480 --> 1:01:36.720
<v Speaker 2>am going to create a nice same game parlay for

1:01:36.800 --> 1:01:39.240
<v Speaker 2>this exact game that i'll tweet out. All right, we've

1:01:39.240 --> 1:01:42.080
<v Speaker 2>got We'll answer your chat questions quickly, take quick break,

1:01:42.080 --> 1:01:49.640
<v Speaker 2>come back. What's right? All right, quickly, let's do the

1:01:49.720 --> 1:01:51.960
<v Speaker 2>questions because I gotta get to work. Demons. What's the

1:01:52.000 --> 1:01:52.520
<v Speaker 2>first one?

1:01:53.840 --> 1:01:56.600
<v Speaker 3>First question is from Dusty demonte A. You're gonna play

1:01:56.640 --> 1:01:58.200
<v Speaker 3>the new Call of Duty with me again? On the

1:01:58.200 --> 1:02:00.920
<v Speaker 3>new one. We can get in by joining Zealand Lobbies

1:02:01.040 --> 1:02:06.400
<v Speaker 3>right now, Dusty, I get paid this Friday tomorrow, so

1:02:06.680 --> 1:02:09.200
<v Speaker 3>it won't be playing tonight, but it might be able

1:02:09.200 --> 1:02:10.840
<v Speaker 3>to get on tomorrow after I got that.

1:02:12.520 --> 1:02:13.880
<v Speaker 2>Okay, all right?

1:02:14.080 --> 1:02:18.480
<v Speaker 3>Next next one, Jack Fisher asked, why do you think

1:02:18.520 --> 1:02:20.919
<v Speaker 3>the Eagles don't use the push to the push toush

1:02:20.960 --> 1:02:23.480
<v Speaker 3>for two point conversions? Seems like they could get it

1:02:23.520 --> 1:02:25.400
<v Speaker 3>almost every time. That's disgusting.

1:02:27.480 --> 1:02:29.520
<v Speaker 2>Oh so you're coming around on me on this with

1:02:29.560 --> 1:02:29.920
<v Speaker 2>me on this.

1:02:30.040 --> 1:02:32.160
<v Speaker 3>No, I've never said that the play looks good, but

1:02:32.280 --> 1:02:36.000
<v Speaker 3>like if you can't be stopped doing it for two point.

1:02:35.800 --> 1:02:45.440
<v Speaker 2>Conversions, I honestly think the Eagles smartly understand we've gotta

1:02:45.520 --> 1:02:49.640
<v Speaker 2>be that with how we utilize this, we don't want

1:02:49.680 --> 1:02:54.920
<v Speaker 2>it to get banned. And I thought there when they

1:02:54.960 --> 1:02:58.080
<v Speaker 2>were doing it. They did it on first and ten

1:02:58.160 --> 1:03:00.640
<v Speaker 2>when they were backed up on their own one, and

1:03:00.680 --> 1:03:02.600
<v Speaker 2>I was like, oh, they always could do this, you

1:03:02.640 --> 1:03:04.600
<v Speaker 2>know what I mean, Like, but it was a big

1:03:04.640 --> 1:03:08.440
<v Speaker 2>spot in a big game, So I listen, I would

1:03:08.440 --> 1:03:11.640
<v Speaker 2>not rule it out of the realm of possibilities that

1:03:11.720 --> 1:03:14.400
<v Speaker 2>they do something like that in the playoffs. They're saving

1:03:14.440 --> 1:03:16.320
<v Speaker 2>it for the playoffs and be like, stop it, what

1:03:16.360 --> 1:03:18.680
<v Speaker 2>are you gonna do? I think that's on the board.

1:03:18.880 --> 1:03:23.040
<v Speaker 2>I absolutely think it's on the board next All right, season,

1:03:24.320 --> 1:03:25.840
<v Speaker 2>I don't I don't have to takes in the NBA

1:03:25.880 --> 1:03:26.840
<v Speaker 2>and season tournament.

1:03:27.080 --> 1:03:29.720
<v Speaker 3>Go ahead, actual, we still love you. Brian Reyes said,

1:03:30.400 --> 1:03:32.720
<v Speaker 3>if CJ. Stroud continues to play at this high level

1:03:32.720 --> 1:03:34.600
<v Speaker 3>for the rest of the season, do you think he

1:03:34.640 --> 1:03:36.320
<v Speaker 3>has a chance at MVP.

1:03:37.600 --> 1:03:40.440
<v Speaker 2>We'll see if the Texans make the playoffs. I mean,

1:03:40.520 --> 1:03:43.439
<v Speaker 2>the guy's got what fourteen touchdowns one pick if they

1:03:43.520 --> 1:03:47.919
<v Speaker 2>make the playoffs and his numbers are amazing, it's on

1:03:48.000 --> 1:03:50.720
<v Speaker 2>the board, like this is a weird MVP year. I

1:03:50.800 --> 1:03:53.400
<v Speaker 2>made a case yesterday on TV that Miles Garrett should

1:03:53.400 --> 1:03:56.480
<v Speaker 2>be getting consideration. The Browns of the best evens in

1:03:56.480 --> 1:03:59.520
<v Speaker 2>the league has been awesome every single week, Like, yeah,

1:04:00.120 --> 1:04:01.920
<v Speaker 2>what are you gonna do? All right? There was the

1:04:02.000 --> 1:04:03.480
<v Speaker 2>show the oh do you.

1:04:03.480 --> 1:04:03.760
<v Speaker 3>Want to do?

1:04:03.800 --> 1:04:05.160
<v Speaker 2>The last question? I didn't know if you had.

1:04:05.280 --> 1:04:06.800
<v Speaker 3>I mean, you kind of brought me to the last

1:04:06.840 --> 1:04:11.400
<v Speaker 3>question perfectly. The Texans are my underdog, my underdog playoffs.

1:04:11.000 --> 1:04:14.000
<v Speaker 2>Playoff that would be so much fun. It would also

1:04:14.120 --> 1:04:17.480
<v Speaker 2>mean a team with very high expectations in the AFC

1:04:17.560 --> 1:04:20.800
<v Speaker 2>gets left out. That would be really fun, really interesting.

1:04:20.960 --> 1:04:22.840
<v Speaker 2>All right, I'll see guys on TV today at three.

1:04:22.920 --> 1:04:25.600
<v Speaker 2>See you guys for the pot on Tuesday, Round ten thirty.

1:04:25.600 --> 1:04:26.000
