WEBVTT - Throwing Strikes with R.A. Dickey 0:00:03.840 --> 0:00:08.480 From the King of Sports Books comes the Key Sports 0:00:08.520 --> 0:00:18.880 podcast Unleashed, presented by the MGM. Here's your host, Jerry 0:00:18.920 --> 0:00:31.800 Ferrara and Olivia Harland Decker. All right, well, Jerry, we 0:00:32.040 --> 0:00:36.000 thought the craziest video we'd ever see of Antonio Brown 0:00:36.200 --> 0:00:39.040 was running off the field flipping off the crowd mid game. 0:00:39.760 --> 0:00:44.680 We were wrong. Oh what a week in sports. Welcome 0:00:44.720 --> 0:00:48.280 to Unleashed, Jerry. How are you doing eyes for someone 0:00:48.400 --> 0:00:53.320 who could maybe say it's unhinged. I don't know what's happening. Um. Yeah, 0:00:53.360 --> 0:00:55.520 that was definitely an interesting way to start off the 0:00:55.680 --> 0:01:00.560 NFL viewing week for sure. Antonio Brown Man Just I 0:01:00.560 --> 0:01:02.440 guess he's living his best life. I don't know what's 0:01:02.480 --> 0:01:05.320 going on. I don't know what's happening. I don't know. Yeah, 0:01:05.400 --> 0:01:07.039 I don't know. Some people are saying he had a 0:01:07.080 --> 0:01:10.400 better d than the Detroit Lions. Oh whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. 0:01:10.480 --> 0:01:12.920 Let's move on. She said it, she said it. So 0:01:13.040 --> 0:01:15.399 I gotta tell you that in London last week, the 0:01:15.480 --> 0:01:20.760 vibes were incredible. Yeah, just Vikings fans, I gotta say, 0:01:20.880 --> 0:01:23.880 outnumbered Saints fans. It really seemed like everywhere I walked 0:01:23.880 --> 0:01:26.480 I saw purple. My husband kept yelling, go Pat, go 0:01:26.760 --> 0:01:29.000 to people, and they just turned around like I'll miff 0:01:29.120 --> 0:01:32.320 you know people, is that asshole? Right? And we get 0:01:32.319 --> 0:01:35.199 into a London boxing match with a with a brit 0:01:35.280 --> 0:01:38.560 That would be really interesting, Sam, don't do that. Yeah, 0:01:38.640 --> 0:01:41.360 but it's cool because we went to this one bar 0:01:41.600 --> 0:01:43.920 that's right in this awesome area of town for people 0:01:43.920 --> 0:01:46.400 who have been to London. It's right by Borough Market 0:01:46.480 --> 0:01:49.480 in London Bridge. It's called the Banker and the barrow 0:01:49.560 --> 0:01:51.800 Boy or something like that, but it's like the NFL 0:01:51.880 --> 0:01:55.000 bar for all these games. And I went with my 0:01:55.080 --> 0:01:57.640 friend Jamie Urdle, she is the host of Good Morning 0:01:57.640 --> 0:02:00.280 Football NFL Network, and I went to me here at 0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:02.280 the set, we hung out, we got to see the crew, 0:02:02.320 --> 0:02:05.000 Peter Schraeger. I brought the baby. He was loving it. 0:02:05.000 --> 0:02:07.080 It was really cute. And then we walked to this 0:02:07.360 --> 0:02:10.600 Vikings bar because she's a big Vikings fan. She was 0:02:10.600 --> 0:02:12.799 working sideline of that game if you were watching the game, 0:02:13.160 --> 0:02:16.360 and she's just a great, great person, really really excited 0:02:16.400 --> 0:02:19.160 to uh have gotten a seen her out here. And 0:02:20.080 --> 0:02:21.840 we grew to the Vikings Bar and every time they 0:02:21.840 --> 0:02:26.640 did the skull chant School School cool my baby, like 0:02:26.720 --> 0:02:30.959 the loyal Packer fan he is just started crying like crazy. 0:02:31.200 --> 0:02:34.639 He was hating this moment, like I had to bring 0:02:34.680 --> 0:02:36.919 him outside of the bar because you know, the Viking 0:02:37.080 --> 0:02:39.840 ism was getting to him. So is there no chance 0:02:40.440 --> 0:02:43.520 he's a Packer fan, meaning like the Chief's blood doesn't 0:02:43.600 --> 0:02:45.920 run it? Like is that? I know you could maybe 0:02:46.000 --> 0:02:49.640 handle two teams. You're well rounded, you're car you know, 0:02:49.760 --> 0:02:52.440 maybe what if he likes the Chiefs. What if Mahomes 0:02:52.800 --> 0:02:55.440 five years from now when he maybe starts watching football, 0:02:55.480 --> 0:02:58.040 still slinging it and he's like, Mom, I love Dad, 0:02:58.080 --> 0:03:01.000 I love Patrick Mahomes go Chief. You can't get mad 0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:03.320 at him. No, And you know what's going to be 0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:06.560 funny is like me growing up was Brett Favre Aaron 0:03:06.639 --> 0:03:09.639 Rodgers again. My grandpa worked in the front office for 0:03:09.680 --> 0:03:12.639 the Green Bay Packers. My dad still calls preseason games 0:03:12.680 --> 0:03:15.919 before he starts his network NFL season. I've done Packer 0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:18.600 preseason games and work packer training camp like we are 0:03:19.000 --> 0:03:22.640 packer people. My husband, I don't think I's ever missed 0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:24.360 a game in his life, including and we've lived in 0:03:24.400 --> 0:03:28.080 Russia and Turkey, like we are obsessed. However, if Jordan 0:03:28.160 --> 0:03:30.480 loves the future of the Packers. I have a hard 0:03:30.480 --> 0:03:33.520 time thinking my son as he grows up, is going 0:03:33.560 --> 0:03:36.280 to get like really into the Packers, you know what 0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:39.720 I mean? Where Patrick Mahomes kids love Patrick Mahomes. And 0:03:39.760 --> 0:03:41.920 that's how it happens. As we know, as if Steph 0:03:42.000 --> 0:03:44.640 Curry has taught us anything with the young kids is 0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:48.280 that and my nephew who's thirteen now, they kind of 0:03:48.320 --> 0:03:51.640 fall for They fall for the player, not necessarily the team, 0:03:51.800 --> 0:03:56.160 right Like that's why, right, So you know, there's very 0:03:56.200 --> 0:03:59.160 possible our kids might just root for the team that 0:03:59.200 --> 0:04:00.960 their favorite player is on that didn't go on in 0:04:01.000 --> 0:04:03.560 my day and my day you pick a team, and 0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:05.800 if you're just stuck with the players that you have, 0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:08.640 you can't just hedge and say go Warriors. I love 0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:11.920 Steph carry So listen, if this podcast lasts for like 0:04:11.920 --> 0:04:13.280 three or four or five years, we're gonna have some 0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:18.360 very interesting fan hood conversations with our kids, that's for sure. Yeah, 0:04:18.440 --> 0:04:21.279 especially when years become Deshaun Watson fans. Well, I just 0:04:21.320 --> 0:04:23.960 can't handle me a Browns and Knicks. What kind of 0:04:24.120 --> 0:04:26.280 what kind of father? Am I? If? I if my 0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:28.800 son roots for the Browns and the Knicks. I'm basically 0:04:28.800 --> 0:04:34.680 setting them up for therapy. Deshaun Watson jersey for christ 0:04:35.040 --> 0:04:40.600 don't you? Oh my god? But no, it's really fun. 0:04:40.640 --> 0:04:43.239 I'm so excited. We record this on Tuesday, So now 0:04:43.400 --> 0:04:45.960 the slew of Packer fans are getting into town and 0:04:46.000 --> 0:04:48.480 Giants and Giants. I'll let you know next week. What 0:04:48.520 --> 0:04:50.760 I felt like I saw more of. But I am 0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:53.040 going back to the same bar because the bar owner 0:04:53.120 --> 0:04:55.880 told me, oh yeah, we're just switching everything over next 0:04:55.960 --> 0:04:58.200 week to Green and Gold and then the Broncos. It's 0:04:58.200 --> 0:05:00.960 also gonna be the Broncos home bar end of the season. 0:05:01.680 --> 0:05:05.440 Why how do they investigative journalist? How do they pick 0:05:05.480 --> 0:05:08.400 for his team? Right now? They're a very NFC North 0:05:08.480 --> 0:05:10.919 heavy bar. How do they pick? Why can't it be 0:05:10.960 --> 0:05:12.720 a Giant's bar next week? Why does it have to 0:05:12.720 --> 0:05:15.880 be a Packers bar? I don't know. I know that 0:05:16.000 --> 0:05:18.360 the Giants will also have like a team bar. It's 0:05:18.400 --> 0:05:20.440 like where they're doing pep rallies and whatnot. All I 0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:23.120 know is I'm not going right. Well this bars want 0:05:23.120 --> 0:05:24.960 to know? This bar is want to know? Would be 0:05:25.000 --> 0:05:28.360 really interesting if this bar for betters out there goes 0:05:28.440 --> 0:05:32.440 Packers and the Packers winning cover. You gotta sort of 0:05:32.600 --> 0:05:35.159 track this bar's picks. Then maybe this bar is the 0:05:35.200 --> 0:05:37.280 only the person who runs the bar is the only 0:05:37.279 --> 0:05:40.080 person who could pick. I will say as a team 0:05:40.120 --> 0:05:42.320 who doesn't really the Giants who don't really have a 0:05:42.360 --> 0:05:44.560 home field advantage. In my opinion, I just think it's 0:05:44.560 --> 0:05:46.520 hard to go watch games that met Life. It's hard 0:05:46.520 --> 0:05:49.520 to get to, it's hard to leave. It's hard. It's 0:05:49.520 --> 0:05:51.360 harder to get into the seat. It's longer to get 0:05:51.360 --> 0:05:53.599 into your seat than actually watch the game. I don't 0:05:53.600 --> 0:05:55.560 think the Giant fans are gonna really travel to London, 0:05:55.800 --> 0:05:58.559 but it on TV it looked like they were having 0:05:58.760 --> 0:06:01.240 way more of a good time London than anyone who 0:06:01.279 --> 0:06:04.320 goes to matt Life Stadium. Just one guy's opinion. Wh 0:06:04.320 --> 0:06:06.520 hasn't been to a football game in five years? Oh, 0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:08.640 first of all, we gotta change that. I try to 0:06:08.640 --> 0:06:11.119 get you to come to this one. But from New York? 0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:13.520 Are you kidding? You have no excuse getting New York 0:06:13.560 --> 0:06:16.960 to London. It's like New York to l A. Yeah, 0:06:17.200 --> 0:06:20.279 it's nothing. So those Giants fans who want to travel 0:06:20.279 --> 0:06:23.239 and support their team, and obviously you know, probably expensive 0:06:23.240 --> 0:06:25.919 plane ticket, but come on, and for Packer fans, Packer 0:06:25.960 --> 0:06:30.560 fans travel really well, and Packers are packers, like the Steelers, 0:06:31.240 --> 0:06:34.440 And who else would we throw in this mix? Who 0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:39.000 are like international brands? I mean Cowboys for sure, Coolers 0:06:39.080 --> 0:06:43.080 for sure, you could say the Niners for sure, Raiders. 0:06:43.240 --> 0:06:49.200 I think Raiders are international. Maybe No, No, I mean 0:06:49.320 --> 0:06:51.320 I'm only those teams that were like all right back 0:06:51.360 --> 0:06:53.200 in the day there was only four teams on TV. 0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:58.200 Was like the Steelers, Cowboys, Raiders, Lions, Bears. I guess 0:06:58.240 --> 0:07:02.359 Bears have that. Yeah, But I do think there's gonna 0:07:02.400 --> 0:07:06.719 be Packer turn out this week. I do. I think 0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:08.520 this is going to be exciting. But you know, the 0:07:08.600 --> 0:07:11.720 NFL has had thirty one games played in London, which 0:07:11.960 --> 0:07:13.480 I thought it was less than that. So good for 0:07:13.520 --> 0:07:17.360 the NFL. This thirty second game played in London. Get this, Jerry. 0:07:17.440 --> 0:07:21.040 It's the first time two teams with the winning record 0:07:21.480 --> 0:07:24.760 are playing over here. Isn't that wild? Well, it's it's wild, 0:07:24.880 --> 0:07:27.920 but no, I think it's it's very accurate. That's data 0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:32.239 that we've all known. We've been serving arguably the worst, 0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:35.000 if not second worst game of the week to to 0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:37.920 these for these London games, and all they've done is 0:07:38.000 --> 0:07:41.680 embrace it and love it and cherish when these games 0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:43.760 are played. So I'm happy they're getting to winning teams. 0:07:43.760 --> 0:07:47.600 I'm shocked that my team is one of the winning teams. Uh, 0:07:47.720 --> 0:07:49.400 do you know what the Giants record is in London? 0:07:49.680 --> 0:07:58.040 In London? I don't undefeated in London. Let's go. You 0:07:58.040 --> 0:07:59.640 know we're going to talk more about that. I mean, 0:07:59.760 --> 0:08:01.520 here we are talking the whole episode about this. We 0:08:01.600 --> 0:08:04.560 knew this was happening, folks. We knew this week, regardless 0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:06.080 of it was in London or whatever, was going to 0:08:06.160 --> 0:08:08.200 be big. But I think we should place a little 0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:10.640 friendly wager on this one later on the show. It 0:08:10.640 --> 0:08:12.840 sounds good. I'm always up for that guy. No, I'm 0:08:12.840 --> 0:08:15.040 so excited going to the game. My mom's in town 0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:17.160 for the game. She my mom. By the way, if 0:08:17.200 --> 0:08:18.800 you want to go back to an NFL game for 0:08:18.800 --> 0:08:21.160 the first time five years, theory, go with my mom. No. 0:08:21.160 --> 0:08:26.640 One embraces the culture in the NFL and the tailgating 0:08:26.880 --> 0:08:29.800 and the post game party and the pregame party and 0:08:29.800 --> 0:08:33.560 the halftime party. Like my mama. She is fantastic game. 0:08:33.679 --> 0:08:36.160 I'm down. That's what I need to go back to, 0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:38.240 go back to. I have a theory with going I 0:08:38.280 --> 0:08:41.520 like going to football games, not my first sport. Basketball 0:08:41.559 --> 0:08:43.120 to me will always be like the number one sport 0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:45.760 to go watch in person. You know, I didn't know 0:08:45.800 --> 0:08:48.040 that well because it's quick and it's easy to watch, 0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:50.880 and it's you seem like a guy who you know 0:08:50.920 --> 0:08:52.600 you're not in it for the long haul. Also, I 0:08:52.640 --> 0:08:55.600 don't want to sit in a seat and be freezing cold, 0:08:55.720 --> 0:08:58.199 and I like East Coast teams. I'm sorry, I don't 0:08:58.240 --> 0:09:00.880 want to be and I'm married woman from the Midwest. 0:09:00.920 --> 0:09:03.280 I don't want to be freezing cold in my seat. 0:09:03.320 --> 0:09:05.560 I just I'm sorry. I've called me soft. Whatever you 0:09:05.559 --> 0:09:08.199 want to say, that's just just the wayest. Then you 0:09:08.200 --> 0:09:11.200 would hate at Lambeau. You know it's metal bleachers, like, 0:09:11.240 --> 0:09:15.640 it's not seats. I'm good. I'm going September. Newspaper you 0:09:15.679 --> 0:09:18.199 have to sit on newspaper because it's so called. I'll 0:09:18.240 --> 0:09:20.360 go September. I'll go to their second week two game 0:09:20.480 --> 0:09:23.280 next year. Speaking of that, this Packers game this past 0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:27.440 weekend against the Patriots, gorgeous day. Did you see how 0:09:27.480 --> 0:09:30.400 beautiful that looked on TV? And Unfortunately, people should have 0:09:30.400 --> 0:09:34.120 gone home earlier than they did. Gorgeous day, not gorgeous football. 0:09:34.240 --> 0:09:37.160 I mean, I don't know what to make of the 0:09:37.200 --> 0:09:40.920 Packers this year. I think they're good. I just don't 0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:44.160 know are they going to be trustworthy when you start 0:09:44.160 --> 0:09:47.120 getting down to late season and playoff games? Like we 0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:50.800 know Aaron Rodgers is trustworthy. Are these receivers gonna be trustworthy? 0:09:51.040 --> 0:09:53.040 Is the defense? I mean, you could tell too. Sorry, 0:09:53.040 --> 0:09:56.960 I don't know. Belichick looked so happy to be coaching 0:09:56.960 --> 0:09:59.040 in a game where like this is like straight out 0:09:59.080 --> 0:10:02.920 of We're gonna run the ball four hundred times, We're 0:10:02.920 --> 0:10:05.679 gonna like he just looked happy to be coaching this 0:10:06.000 --> 0:10:08.880 weird game when the way I'm having a quarterback, I know, 0:10:09.000 --> 0:10:12.760 speaking of kind of unpredictable. And how did you do 0:10:12.840 --> 0:10:15.199 betting wise this week? I feel like you've had a 0:10:15.200 --> 0:10:18.040 couple of dogs lately. Well, I'm losing the parlays, I'm 0:10:18.080 --> 0:10:20.559 hitting the teasers. I went against what I was doing. 0:10:20.600 --> 0:10:23.280 I've been doing ten point three team teases right, and 0:10:23.320 --> 0:10:25.280 I've I've won three weeks in a row on those. 0:10:25.679 --> 0:10:28.000 This week, I got a little cocky and I said, 0:10:28.040 --> 0:10:29.680 you know what, I'm gonna knock it down and get 0:10:29.679 --> 0:10:32.079 the better odds. I'm gonna knock it down like a 0:10:32.240 --> 0:10:36.280 seven point tease. And I had the Panthers plus eight 0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:37.920 and they lost my ten. If it would have been 0:10:37.920 --> 0:10:39.880 a three team tease, they would have been plus eleven. 0:10:40.600 --> 0:10:43.960 So my thing is like, just keep the three team teases. 0:10:44.040 --> 0:10:46.920 Ten point teas is coming, don't knock the points down. 0:10:47.400 --> 0:10:49.480 This past weekend was a little rough. Definitely didn't hit 0:10:49.559 --> 0:10:53.200 but my Giants one which kept me coming. But usually 0:10:53.200 --> 0:10:55.920 I have the teams that I love to bet against 0:10:56.200 --> 0:10:59.120 year in, year out. And we've talked about this on 0:10:59.160 --> 0:11:03.760 this show before. Who are the bottom three NFL teams? 0:11:03.760 --> 0:11:06.280 Meaning like you see them? That's always where your eye is. 0:11:06.320 --> 0:11:08.240 A better goes to, like who it used to be? 0:11:08.240 --> 0:11:10.520 Like who are the Jags playing? Or who are the 0:11:10.600 --> 0:11:12.720 Texans playing? I don't think you could say that anymore. 0:11:13.840 --> 0:11:16.520 The Jags are up fourteen nothing in Philly and then 0:11:16.559 --> 0:11:19.839 all hell broke loose. We we talked last week about 0:11:19.840 --> 0:11:23.120 parody and it is. It's interesting bottom three teams like 0:11:23.160 --> 0:11:25.480 our Raiders got I have it. I think I think 0:11:25.480 --> 0:11:30.920 I have my bottom three and I first win. But 0:11:31.160 --> 0:11:34.800 I mean the Broncos looked terrible and they lost their 0:11:34.880 --> 0:11:37.600 best running back, the only one they have that doesn't fumble. 0:11:37.840 --> 0:11:39.559 I think you have to put the Steelers in the 0:11:39.559 --> 0:11:45.880 bottom three, even with Pickett. I I'm sorry, is there 0:11:45.920 --> 0:11:48.800 a way we can't put those Lions on the bottom 0:11:48.800 --> 0:11:54.080 three after watching that defense, America's Sweetheart Hard Knocks is over. 0:11:54.200 --> 0:11:57.000 It's old news. We fell in love. I'm on Ross 0:11:57.160 --> 0:12:00.320 Brown's amazing. If he's not like I love the offense, 0:12:00.360 --> 0:12:03.319 That defense is bad. Maybe I got them there, and 0:12:03.400 --> 0:12:05.559 I'm sorry. I think I think it's the Commanders are 0:12:05.800 --> 0:12:08.000 on a fast track to be in the bottom three. 0:12:08.760 --> 0:12:14.000 I'll raise you, Carolina Panthers so well. You know you 0:12:14.040 --> 0:12:17.320 see Stephen A. Smith rant on Baker Mayfield. That was cold. 0:12:17.480 --> 0:12:19.720 I will say maybe if I can't find the teams 0:12:19.720 --> 0:12:22.000 that I always like to fade, I think maybe like 0:12:22.120 --> 0:12:24.640 kids rooting for their favorite players, I think you maybe 0:12:24.720 --> 0:12:29.679 start finding your quarterback to fade. And maybe that's Baker Mayfield. 0:12:30.360 --> 0:12:33.440 I know, I know, God, he's struggling, he really is. 0:12:33.559 --> 0:12:36.199 I don't know why. I like always feel bad. I 0:12:36.240 --> 0:12:38.240 don't care who it is, like, I feel bad when 0:12:38.240 --> 0:12:41.679 I see a quarterback, especially a quarterback, because they just 0:12:42.240 --> 0:12:43.959 they get the highest of the highs, but man, do 0:12:44.000 --> 0:12:46.760 they get dogged when they start failing. And Baker's had 0:12:46.840 --> 0:12:50.640 no no grace, Like, no one shows Baker any grace, 0:12:50.800 --> 0:12:54.280 not saying he deserves it. But even if you was, 0:12:54.360 --> 0:12:57.800 like had at least one win, two wins, like, I 0:12:57.840 --> 0:12:59.520 just feel like everyone's going to give him a hard time. 0:12:59.559 --> 0:13:02.280 People just want He's a guy people want to see fail, 0:13:02.360 --> 0:13:04.480 and I think that's really fair. I think people root 0:13:04.559 --> 0:13:06.800 for him to fail. Also because of the number one 0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:08.680 pick thing. I don't think that did him any favors 0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:10.280 in a way, although it's a huge honor and you 0:13:10.280 --> 0:13:13.200 could say at the time it was deserving, you know. 0:13:13.640 --> 0:13:16.199 I think right there that maybe was the start of 0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:19.000 like you're the number one pick, you're the best, you know, 0:13:19.160 --> 0:13:20.679 I don't know, I don't know if that it's all 0:13:20.679 --> 0:13:23.800 situational and also being a look, sorry, Cleveland, I love you, 0:13:24.480 --> 0:13:26.680 being a part of the Browns with the rotating head 0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:30.680 coaches and so before Stefanski and the rotating offensive coordinators 0:13:30.800 --> 0:13:34.640 and you know, not really the best situation to be 0:13:34.720 --> 0:13:37.120 in for any young player to start their careers. It's 0:13:37.120 --> 0:13:41.120 all situational. So you mentioned Pittsburgh earlier, and I was 0:13:41.160 --> 0:13:42.920 thinking about that. I was excited. Sam and I were 0:13:42.960 --> 0:13:44.720 sitting here watching and we go, oh my god, he's 0:13:44.720 --> 0:13:47.000 going in. He's going in. I think everyone was because 0:13:47.360 --> 0:13:49.880 it's a great story. You know, he played his college 0:13:49.920 --> 0:13:53.880 ball there. Fans were cheering for him. It's great. Did 0:13:53.880 --> 0:13:56.320 you know that the Steelers are oh and seven without 0:13:56.400 --> 0:14:00.280 t J Watt? I did not know that. He's pervious 0:14:00.280 --> 0:14:02.360 about Kenny Pickett. I mean he had two rushing touchdowns 0:14:02.360 --> 0:14:04.920 pretty quickly, and his three picks. I don't think tell 0:14:04.960 --> 0:14:06.719 the whole story. One of a hail Mary. I mean, 0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:10.280 it's whatever, it's It looks worse on paper than it 0:14:10.400 --> 0:14:12.880 was in the game. He definitely changed the energy. I 0:14:12.880 --> 0:14:15.400 thought he was exciting, but I mean, they need to 0:14:15.400 --> 0:14:17.480 teach it. What back my god, and their schedule coming up. 0:14:17.520 --> 0:14:21.120 Sorry Jerry, but it's tough sledding at Bills, at Dolphins, 0:14:21.280 --> 0:14:23.960 at Eagles. That's on the next four weeks and somewhere 0:14:24.000 --> 0:14:26.440 in between there is TV twelve at home. So yeah, 0:14:26.480 --> 0:14:31.400 I'm sorry. I know tanking when basketball is frowned upon. 0:14:31.480 --> 0:14:33.240 I tried to fix it, and maybe they did fix 0:14:33.240 --> 0:14:35.480 it a little bit. And I know tanking and football there. 0:14:36.280 --> 0:14:40.360 I can't say it hasn't happened. If anyone should maybe 0:14:40.480 --> 0:14:43.240 kind of say it is too early to give up. 0:14:43.280 --> 0:14:45.760 But with this hellish schedule they have coming up, and 0:14:45.800 --> 0:14:47.960 if it doesn't go their way with a rookie corps, 0:14:48.080 --> 0:14:51.640 it can't be Rabinsky. If it's Chrabinsky playing, you're just 0:14:51.720 --> 0:14:54.400 waiting for Picket to be ready. Obviously that's not the answer. 0:14:54.480 --> 0:14:58.360 Long term, getting some draft value is probably good thing, 0:14:58.440 --> 0:15:01.000 especially if what's gonna miss sometime. The sucky thing is 0:15:01.560 --> 0:15:05.240 Mike Tomlin is a championship coach. I don't want to 0:15:05.280 --> 0:15:09.080 see a Mike Tomlin team rebuild. I just don't want 0:15:09.120 --> 0:15:10.880 to see it. I mean, I know he can do it. 0:15:10.960 --> 0:15:13.280 I think he's he's he's a Hall of Fame coach. 0:15:13.320 --> 0:15:15.400 I love Mike tom That's like one of my dream 0:15:15.440 --> 0:15:18.280 coaches for the Giants, but he never left Pittsburgh. I 0:15:18.320 --> 0:15:19.960 don't want to see him rebuild. I want to see 0:15:20.040 --> 0:15:24.000 him like competing for a championship. He's so good. Yeah, 0:15:24.040 --> 0:15:26.720 but better to see someone like Mike Tomlin, who's young 0:15:27.000 --> 0:15:30.880 and cool and hip, rebuild than like Pete Carroll, like 0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:38.080 whenever Belichick Exactly. These guys can't rebuild. Come on, yeah, 0:15:38.080 --> 0:15:40.120 do they? And and I'm surprised they want to. I 0:15:40.120 --> 0:15:42.840 don't know. Maybe I don't know. I just think at 0:15:42.880 --> 0:15:45.640 some point you've done everything there is to do. I'm 0:15:45.640 --> 0:15:47.240 not saying like you don't love the job. Maybe they 0:15:47.400 --> 0:15:50.880 love being around the guys and the camaraderie of a 0:15:50.880 --> 0:15:56.040 football team, and maybe that's it. Quit. These guys can't quit. 0:15:56.440 --> 0:15:58.960 I just don't want to watch the Steelers, and I 0:15:58.960 --> 0:16:02.000 don't want to watch Tom when rebuild because I just 0:16:02.200 --> 0:16:04.320 I just love watching that too. In the player. You 0:16:04.360 --> 0:16:07.120 give him time to prepare for a team, it's almost automatic. 0:16:07.960 --> 0:16:10.000 I was just having this conversation at dinner to night, 0:16:10.080 --> 0:16:14.080 was why do old football coaches and old politicians not 0:16:14.240 --> 0:16:17.240 just go sit on a boat somewhere just freaking retire, 0:16:17.520 --> 0:16:20.840 Go enjoy all the fruits of your labor. These people 0:16:20.840 --> 0:16:24.760 are so rich and choose the most demanding, arduous professions. 0:16:25.000 --> 0:16:26.720 I could tell you who is not going to do 0:16:26.760 --> 0:16:29.080 that is going to be an old actor if he 0:16:29.120 --> 0:16:35.720 has enough money named Jerry Ferrara. You won't see me again, amen, Amen, 0:16:37.000 --> 0:16:40.240 you not see me again. A boat somewhere. I won't 0:16:40.280 --> 0:16:43.520 be on screen. You won't see me again. I love it. Um. 0:16:43.560 --> 0:16:46.000 Something else from this weekend that was such a huge 0:16:46.080 --> 0:16:51.400 storyline going into week four was the big meeting Lamar Jackson, 0:16:51.520 --> 0:16:55.560 Josh Allen and will the m v P odds change 0:16:55.560 --> 0:16:58.240 it all? Because those two go on head ahead, someone 0:16:58.360 --> 0:17:00.840 was going to come out on top. And what a 0:17:00.880 --> 0:17:03.840 weird game. Josh Allen leads the biggest comeback of his career. 0:17:03.880 --> 0:17:07.840 They're down twenty to three, they go run and really 0:17:07.880 --> 0:17:12.080 different from last week. They led time of possession or sorry, 0:17:12.280 --> 0:17:15.320 Ravens led for twenty last week in Miami, Bills led 0:17:15.359 --> 0:17:18.440 for so weird, so don't you know, just time with 0:17:18.520 --> 0:17:22.600 possession even matter? But the craziest thing, Jerry, was that 0:17:23.240 --> 0:17:25.840 the odds did not change going into week four for 0:17:25.960 --> 0:17:29.119 Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson for m v P. What 0:17:29.200 --> 0:17:31.320 are your thoughts on that? I think it was justifiably 0:17:31.320 --> 0:17:34.160 so because the game itself, it didn't sway me one 0:17:34.200 --> 0:17:35.960 way or the other about how I felt about their 0:17:36.040 --> 0:17:38.600 m v P chances in that game. I think if 0:17:38.640 --> 0:17:40.960 anything like, yeah, I get their odds staying the same, 0:17:41.080 --> 0:17:44.359 and Jalen Hurts is officially on that watch of you know, 0:17:44.359 --> 0:17:46.520 if they continue to win these games and their records 0:17:46.520 --> 0:17:48.480 is gonna be impressive, and he's leading the league in 0:17:48.560 --> 0:17:52.040 rushing touchdowns. That's who I'm watching. But the Ravens really 0:17:52.040 --> 0:17:55.600 gotta you know, one point. I think almost every, if 0:17:55.640 --> 0:17:59.560 not every single game was like within one score, like 0:17:59.680 --> 0:18:01.919 mid way or late third quarter. I don't know if 0:18:01.960 --> 0:18:05.520 I've ever seen games that are just that close. The 0:18:05.640 --> 0:18:07.640 Ravens got to figure out how to play with the lead. 0:18:08.840 --> 0:18:11.080 And I don't know what the deals they have running bad. 0:18:11.160 --> 0:18:14.240 They don't know they they're now blowing some leads and 0:18:14.280 --> 0:18:17.160 those two games really might haunt them down the road. 0:18:17.359 --> 0:18:22.480 They're lucky they're in the North. Amen. Okay, Well, in 0:18:22.520 --> 0:18:25.320 addition to the NFL, we're going to preview the MLB 0:18:25.480 --> 0:18:29.680 postseason with former MLB pitcher the knuckleball Ace and Cy 0:18:29.840 --> 0:18:32.600 Young winner are A Dicky will be joining us. We'll 0:18:32.600 --> 0:18:35.680 get his World Series prediction, Jerry and if he thinks 0:18:35.680 --> 0:18:38.480 his former team, the Mets can make a run here 0:18:38.640 --> 0:18:41.720 and then your Yankees will teams even pitched to Aaron 0:18:41.800 --> 0:18:44.480 Judge in the postseason. I definitely want to get his 0:18:44.560 --> 0:18:46.440 take on that one. And I think you've got a 0:18:46.480 --> 0:18:49.720 couple of thoughts on postseason right, Yeah, listen, I hate 0:18:49.760 --> 0:18:52.600 to make this my unleashed for this week, but I 0:18:52.640 --> 0:18:54.840 think I have to. We're talking to r A Dicky 0:18:55.080 --> 0:18:57.960 the Mets just how to collapse. Baseball playoffs are going 0:18:58.000 --> 0:19:06.119 to start, so what better time than now? Knows? But 0:19:06.240 --> 0:19:08.159 if I try to, I try. I think of myself 0:19:08.200 --> 0:19:10.800 as a baseball purist. I don't love all the changes, 0:19:10.960 --> 0:19:14.160 but they've really opened my eyes with expanding the playoff 0:19:14.359 --> 0:19:16.160 amount of teams and all that. I do think that's 0:19:16.160 --> 0:19:17.960 good for baseball. And we're gonna ask our A Dicky 0:19:18.000 --> 0:19:20.680 about that. So let's go step further. We're gonna throw 0:19:20.720 --> 0:19:23.360 out all the stuff and just bringing all this new 0:19:23.400 --> 0:19:29.320 stuff baseball. Why now, look, I love baseball games in October. 0:19:29.440 --> 0:19:31.280 Now we are going to have games in Cleveland and 0:19:31.359 --> 0:19:33.840 New York and we might be gonna get some really 0:19:33.880 --> 0:19:36.480 really bad weather, not always the best for playoff baseball. 0:19:37.119 --> 0:19:40.880 Why are we still right on the NFL's corner when 0:19:40.880 --> 0:19:44.159 if you just maybe cut out thirty five games from 0:19:44.200 --> 0:19:48.680 the regular season, keep adding playoff teams, slide the playoffs 0:19:48.800 --> 0:19:53.480 back up into August, and end the season World Series 0:19:53.760 --> 0:19:57.919 Game seven just post Labor Day. I know baseball traditionalists 0:19:57.920 --> 0:19:59.919 are gonna roll their eyes and probably scream at me 0:20:00.160 --> 0:20:02.000 when they see that in the street. Tell me if 0:20:02.000 --> 0:20:07.200 the World Series wasn't on start Game one, wasn't September one. 0:20:07.440 --> 0:20:11.119 You're not making that like appointment television as opposed to 0:20:11.320 --> 0:20:13.280 you know, when is it going to be? Thursday night 0:20:13.320 --> 0:20:15.879 football gonna be a problem and Sunday night football? Like 0:20:16.160 --> 0:20:18.159 there's just too much competition. I don't know why we 0:20:18.200 --> 0:20:22.040 have to pair it up with everything going on the NFL. 0:20:22.119 --> 0:20:24.840 People are getting super psyched for basketball. I love baseball. 0:20:24.880 --> 0:20:28.680 I think it deserves its own month for the playoffs 0:20:28.680 --> 0:20:31.600 in World Series. Cut down the regular season games. Give 0:20:31.600 --> 0:20:34.240 me more playoff teams, give me more playoff games like 0:20:34.320 --> 0:20:38.080 you already doing, and end it by Labor Day. End 0:20:38.200 --> 0:20:41.040 by Labor Day. You'll own the month of August. You 0:20:41.080 --> 0:20:44.040 will own the month of August. No, I get it. 0:20:44.040 --> 0:20:47.600 August is like the slowest month in sports, So I 0:20:47.640 --> 0:20:49.560
