00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:43,919

61
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:49,679
Speaker 5: week off for Justin Herbert. We got to see the

62
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 5: Trey Lance experience.

63
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was that was somewhat exciting.

64
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 5: He was one of sixty two this year, one of

65
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 5: sixty two starting quarterbacks.

66
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 3: You know very well they're frauds. Yeah no, no, hey dude,

67
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 3: I am, I am.

68
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: I'm looking football like you. No, No, I am looking

69
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: for the two games. I'm looking forward to the most,

70
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: to seeing teams get exposed this weekend. I'm looking forward

71
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 1: to that game Sunday night, charged with the Patriots, and

72
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: I'm really looking forward to Texans Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday night,

73
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 1: looking forward to that. Those those one hundred.

74
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 5: Yeah see, I think we might differ on one of those.

75
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 5: But it is interesting that all of a sudden this

76
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 5: week something we've been harping on over the course of

77
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 5: the year, and you could do it with my Bears

78
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 5: as well, with some of their strength of schedule and

79
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,639
Speaker 5: their victories. I mean they were only two and four

80
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 5: in division and all of that stuff. Is as the

81
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 5: MVP talk really picked up this week to a fever

82
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 5: pitch with Stafford and having a big game against Arizona

83
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 5: and Drake May, suddenly the Patriots schedule started to really

84
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 5: become a big topic of conversation.

85
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 6: Yeah.

86
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, something we did all year long.

87
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 4: Gun.

88
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 3: I mean you look, you can only beat who's on it.

89
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 5: Right again, if it gets you to a double digit win, too,

90
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 5: you take advantage of it, because guess what next year

91
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 5: is gonna flip? Oh, sure, Bears had a week schedule

92
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 5: this year. Guess what happens. Hardest schedule Yeah, by the books,

93
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 5: of course, then you have to play all two hundred

94
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 5: and seventy two glorious games and we find out what

95
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,359
Speaker 5: it looks like a year from now. But but yes,

96
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,160
Speaker 5: that is part of the math that is going on,

97
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 5: not only for the MVP race, but as we look

98
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 5: ahead to the wild Card weekend and the chaos to come.

99
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 1: Now, before we get started, I want, I want to

100
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: say this because I've been waiting to throw this by

101
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:34,279

207
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 1: This former child star is on trial for murder after

00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 1: throwing a radio host overheld copy of tam in Yosemite.

209
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,320

00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 3: you're killing me.

211
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,120

00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 1: oh my god, I saw small and I was gonna

00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 1: save it for the show.

216
00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 3: Gotta save it. That's pretty impressive.

217
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no, it's good and being good eye, good eye,

218
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 1: and being able to tell this story takes me away

219
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 1: from the fact that the Knicks got absolutely drubbed by

220
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 1: the Pistons tonight and have lost four games.

221
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:09,199
Speaker 3: In a row.

222
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 1: On the side, I mean, the Pistons were a team

223
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:15,559
Speaker 1: you were really excited about two years ago. And now

224
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 1: there's two things. There's two sides of this, right, No.

225
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: Number one, I don't know why we're still playing basketball.

226
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 1: The Knicks won the title. I saw the confetti, I

227
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,559
Speaker 1: saw everything. I don't know why, but they already won.

228
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 1: So what does it matter until there's a parade but

229
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 1: down the streets of New York City and a banner

230
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:31,199
Speaker 1: is raised.

231
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:32,559
Speaker 4: Hi, So I know.

232
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 1: James Dolan spoke for the first time. Yeah, for I

233
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 1: forgot what I mean, I know his singing voice. I know,

234
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 1: you know, he's on the radio in New York today

235
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,319
Speaker 1: talking about the Knicks for the first time in two years, saying, hey,

236
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: we can win a title as we're constructed.

237
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 3: I'm like, of course we can't, because we already won

238
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 3: the title.

239
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 1: I watched the confetti come down, I watch hats go

240
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: on and T shirts that we already want. I don't

241
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,079
Speaker 1: know why we're still playing the NBA. I don't know why.

242
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: So am I really concerned about the next one before?

243
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 3: No, I'm not.

244
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 1: It's the middle of January, beginning of January, and again

245
00:10:58,440 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 1: we've already won the title.

246
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 3: But I mean a new season started on Christmas Dames.

247
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 1: Anyway, to focus on the other part of this is

248
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 1: what did I tell you? I mean again, to go

249
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:10,680
Speaker 1: back my two bold prediction picks in the preseason, I said,

250
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 1: you want two NBA finals bowld prediction picks, one in

251
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 1: each conference where the odds were ten thousand or more.

252
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,320
Speaker 1: And I gave you the Spurs in the West and

253
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 1: the Pistons in the East. And look at the Pistons

254
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 1: right second night of a back to back, they got

255
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 1: you know, Ivy coming off the bench now and he

256
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 1: has a big night and they're young and they don't

257
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,439
Speaker 1: know what they don't know, and if you don't come

258
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: ready to play, they are gonna run you out of

259
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 1: the gym.

260
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 4: Right.

261
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 1: The Pistons are absolutely legit. They should wind up being

262
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,839
Speaker 1: the number one seed because they're young, they're deep, they're

263
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 1: everything I thought they would be. Everything is finally coming

264
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 1: together for them. And not only are they gonna wind

265
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 1: up being I mean, this was probably an Eastern Conference

266
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 1: Final preview tonight. I mean the end result will be

267
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: different when when the game's were.

268
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:52,200
Speaker 3: That's gonna say.

269
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 5: I mean, Jalen Bronson, if that's the look he's got

270
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 5: an Eastern Conference Final preview, Man, I want that is

271
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 5: the next Top's living car like he immortalized like a statue.

272
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 1: We held he won the title. I don't know, I

273
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 1: don't know what. Everybody's so nervous, but the Knicks won

274
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:06,079
Speaker 1: the time.

275
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 3: I saw everything. I don't know. I saw a sad

276
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 3: face Jalen Brunson earlier.

277
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 5: By the way, forty six and a half was their

278
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 5: total before the season, thirty three to one odds.

279
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, this was a look the two teams. When you

280
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:20,959
Speaker 1: when you look at what's going in the Eastern Conference,

281
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 1: this year. You know, it's a year of flux and

282
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 1: a year of change with the Celtics trying to do

283
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 1: it without Jason Tate. Jalen Brown's doing his best after right.

284
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 1: I look, and the Celtics are staying afloat as much

285
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:32,719
Speaker 1: as they can. Clearly, the trade deadline is going to

286
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 1: be there for some teams to make their teams better.

287
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 1: But the Cavaliers are not what they were the Indiana Pacers.

288
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 1: Maybe Halliburton is the real MVP of the NBA because

289
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 1: they're terrible without him. So there's nothing that really scares you.

290
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 1: And these look, Orlando is a nice team. The Knicks

291
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,319
Speaker 1: are the bed Knicks have the most talent. But look

292
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,679
Speaker 1: at this Pistons team. They're young, they're deep, there everything.

293
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 1: This is where teams come in and seize and seize

294
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 1: the moment, and they are seizing this opportunity. They played

295
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:00,559
Speaker 1: harder tonight on the second night back then and.

296
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 3: They're just like going through the motions.

297
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 4: Now.

298
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 1: Look for the Knicks, it is Yes, it's the middle

299
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 1: of January. We're pretty good. We're gonna be a top

300
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 1: three team in the East. How big is home court advent?

301
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 1: Everything goes along you don't know what's gonna happen the

302
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 1: NBA season regular season. For the veteran teams or teams

303
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:17,320
Speaker 1: that have gone through, it means less and less. For

304
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 1: the Pistons, they don't know any better. It's hey, we

305
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 1: want to get out there and get that number one seed,

306
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,680
Speaker 1: and that's great, but you see that being the number

307
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 1: one seed is not quite what it was years ago

308
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 1: in the NBA. But here's a young team that, hey,

309
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 1: we don't know any better. Not that we're gonna go,

310
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 1: but it's like, hey, okay, yeah, it's great to see this,

311
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 1: but when we get to the playoffs, things are gonna

312
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 1: be a little bit different. But the Pistons are absolutely

313
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 1: If you didn't think they were legit, they are absolutely legit.

314
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 5: Well we'll talk about it as the night goes on,

315
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 5: because certainly a lot of consternation across the NFL cities

316
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 5: for a couple of teams that still had opportunity to

317
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:51,719
Speaker 5: improve their seating and said, to hell with it, we're

318
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 5: sitting our guys down right, and we're gonna sit out

319
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 5: Week eighteen and move on. With the NBA. You have

320
00:13:57,679 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 5: the same thing. The long arde is eighty two game

321
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 5: seed and the only thing that matters is you enter

322
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:06,679
Speaker 5: mid April with as much of your rotation intact as possible.

323
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 5: And for the Knicks, the way it's run in the past,

324
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:13,680
Speaker 5: obviously there's some change, but it's still not the greatest

325
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 5: of depth situations. When we're talking about running eight nine deep. No,

326
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 5: you're still seven guys. So what do you have to do.

327
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 5: You've got to do whatever you can during the course

328
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 5: of these months to be judicious about what Brunson's doing,

329
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 5: certainly what Cat's doing, so you don't run yourself into

330
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 5: a situation whereby come April, they've got nothing left. Man,

331
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 5: that we've watched teams do that year after year.

332
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 3: So yeah, the eighty.

333
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 5: Two games, as much as the number one seed, ain't

334
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 5: getting you a giant bonus. If suddenly we start playing

335
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 5: to that of hey, if you earn the number one seed,

336
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 5: it's here's another T shirt and hat ceremony and another

337
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 5: million dollars in your coll for per man, then maybe

338
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 5: they buck up and there's a chase for it. But

339
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 5: until that you're gonna have a situation like tonight, it's like,

340
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 5: all right, this game's done. Let guys run out there

341
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 5: as the second team and let's live to fight another day.

00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 1: for introducing that website to me. Yeah, so right now tonight,

374
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 1: Montana State beating Illinois State in the FCS National Championship.

375
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 1: Still about halfway through the fourth quarter, but Montana State

376
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 1: is winning. Montana State's quarterback is Justin Lamson. You remember

377
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 1: his name because he's been around Stanford for a couple

378
00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 1: of years. But once upon a time will Syracuse University's

379
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 1: quarterback and wait, he's gonna be the next starting quarterback.

380
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 1: Didn't work out and he transferred. For Christmas, I bought

381
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:13,400
Speaker 1: my dad a pair of Justin Lampson's pants team issued Syracuse,

382
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:17,359
Speaker 1: not Waite bobs, but Justin Lambs. Justin Lampson's pants because

383
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 1: it's the same number my dad wore when he played

384
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 1: sports two wore ten. I'm like, oh, I'll get him

385
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 1: because Justin Lampson wore ten. My dad wore ten. So

386
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 1: I called him and I said, hey, those pants I

387
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 1: gave you.

388
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:27,199
Speaker 4: You know.

389
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 1: He's like, oh, Justin lamps He goes, yeah, I think

390
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:30,679
Speaker 1: you kind of remember the name of because oh, okay, okay.

391
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,160
Speaker 1: So when the game was going on tonight, I'm like, Dad,

392
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:36,880
Speaker 1: turn on ESPN. Justin Lampson, you have his pants. He goes,

393
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 1: I gotta go put him on. So now my dad

394
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 1: is watching the end of this game wearing Justin Lampson's

395
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:45,360
Speaker 1: team issued Syrahcu sweatpants.

396
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 3: That is phantasmic's happening right now.

397
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:49,120
Speaker 5: See, I thought you were gonna tell me you bought

398
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:53,880
Speaker 5: out the entire Hunter Dickinson collection that they put up there.

399
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,399
Speaker 1: No, no, no, certain things are tough to get to,

400
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 1: like they when they have it, when they have a

401
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 1: trunk drop and it's like, oh, I'll go at the

402
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:00,679
Speaker 1: next day.

403
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 6: No.

404
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:02,119
Speaker 3: Sometimes stets up just going on.

405
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 5: The Northwestern stuff all sells out almost instantly. I think

406
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 5: Darren Ravel buys it all. So I don't think I

407
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 5: ever have a chance.

408
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:11,360
Speaker 1: Exit out out a Fresca exit swollen down. My dad

409
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 1: very proud. Do you think blue Derek's pants. You think

410
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 1: that diseases? I think I can touch that.

411
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 4: Huh.

412
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 1: Joining us now in the hotline for all the big

413
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:21,640

Speaker 1: He is now also the new field goal kicker for

416
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens. It is Jason locking for a Jay.

417
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 1: What's happening?

418
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 3: Man?

419
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:36,160
Speaker 4: Is he? What is that website you're talking about?

420
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:36,919
Speaker 3: What's happened?

421
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:39,000

Speaker 3: So yeah, oh you love it.

427
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 4: Man.

428
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 3: My dad, like I said, my dad's weren't just to live.

429
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 1: So first of all, let me ask, uh, well, how

430
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 1: are you today after that.

431
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 3: Lost last night?

432
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 4: I'm doing better than my kids. I hit pretty much

433
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 4: every better had on that game. So I sat there

434
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:13,639
Speaker 4: and greaving with them, and sat up with the eighth

435
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 4: grader while he cried himself to sleep. But I look,

436
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 4: we talked about it on my radio show last week.

437
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,359
Speaker 4: We do this segment where we make predictions, you know,

438
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:26,679
Speaker 4: bold predictions before the game and one of my co

439
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 4: hosts was like, you know, big Looper is going to

440
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,639
Speaker 4: hit like a forty yard or forty eight yard or

441
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 4: fifty yard field goal to win the game. And I'm like, bro,

442
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:37,479
Speaker 4: you better hope not. And he's like, what do you mean.

443
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:39,679
Speaker 4: I'm like, you better hope Lamar Derek Henry puts this

444
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,919
Speaker 4: thing away with a touchdown or a kneel down, because

445
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 4: if it comes out of this kid, Alan, you're making

446
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:49,119
Speaker 4: the kid. He's never been tested. I mean they handed

447
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 4: him the job. They brought in no competition. They had

448
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:54,359
Speaker 4: an undrafted kid, the Battle of the Kid, you know,

449
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 4: the kid pick, and they cut the undrafted kids like

450
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:01,159
Speaker 4: a week in the camp and they never brought in

451
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 4: any veteran competition. And the way the season went, he

452
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 4: never got put in any clutch situations, and in the

453
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 4: second half as it got colder, and he was never

454
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,879
Speaker 4: really good from more than fifty and again people allowed

455
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:15,920
Speaker 4: to have growing pains. And it's not even about the kid,

456
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 4: but it's about the situation. Like we're talking in like November,

457
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 4: and I'm like, would you bring in an established kicker

458
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 4: to compete with him on a Tuesday? Even though he

459
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 4: hasn't lost a job yet. Just to simulate pressure, you

460
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 4: know what I mean, to simulate what it could mean

461
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:32,919
Speaker 4: if his first kick of the year is with the

462
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,400
Speaker 4: season on the line, his first real kick of the year,

463
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 4: his first attempted game winning truly clutch kick happens when

464
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 4: it really matters a ton, like in the playoffs. And

465
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 4: that was basically a playoff game, and they botched your

466
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 4: midfield fifty three seconds, three time outs. Kerrick Henry's running

467
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 4: pretty much bolder than them. But Derrick Henry has been

468
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 4: taking pitch place to the house in the fourth quarter

469
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 4: of his whole career. And they never put the ball

470
00:20:57,520 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 4: in his hands even though he was on the field

471
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 4: in a two minute trail. He's never into two minute trails,

472
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 4: So that was odds. The kneel down that calls themselves

473
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 4: a few yards and more time. I just they played

474
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,679
Speaker 4: their whole season with no urgency. Their final drive of

475
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 4: the season didn't have the proper sense of urgency. Hardballs

476
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 4: off the plot the GM Eric de Costa, I don't

477
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 4: know if he's ever had the plot. And the most

478
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 4: overrated front office in the NFL. Every year, the drafts

479
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 4: are the most overrated all their buddies in the media

480
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 4: as a pluses, as everybody says how smart they are

481
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 4: in the off season, even though they don't really add

482
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:36,399
Speaker 4: players who are any good from any other organizations. They

483
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,920
Speaker 4: don't have any pass rush to speak of. I mean, well,

484
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,639
Speaker 4: we know these games and these broadcasters, and it's hit

485
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 4: in production meetings, and you know, they want to be

486
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,119
Speaker 4: buddies with everybody, and they're not really outside the rip people.

487
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 4: The way Chris collins Worth on a national broadcast talked

488
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 4: about their lack of pass rush. You just don't. You

489
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 4: don't see it that often in the industry, especially for

490
00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 4: allegedly great front offices that build allegedly great rosters and

491
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,359
Speaker 4: have everybody stroked him all the time. I mean he

492
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 4: was calling him out left and right because he had

493
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 4: no choice. I mean, Aaron Rodgers in two desperation games,

494
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 4: dropped back eighty five times against him. They breathed on

495
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 4: him six times, they sacked him twice. He threw eighty

496
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,679
Speaker 4: one passes. They didn't intercept any of them. Everybody knw

497
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 4: where the ball's gone. So in a game roll it's

498
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 4: going to Warrant, it was going to Washington's. Well, he

499
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:26,919
Speaker 4: got hurt so now it's going to fire Booth and

500
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:30,359
Speaker 4: this team that does nothing but load up on defensive backs.

501
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 4: None of them can tackle, and none of them may

502
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 4: players on the ball. And you couple that with the

503
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,120
Speaker 4: team that's inherently built not to rush the quarterback because

504
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 4: no one on a team can. They had one guy

505
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:41,920
Speaker 4: who kind of could, oh way, and then he got

506
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:45,719
Speaker 4: to the Chargers and he really could. Ye in the return,

507
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:49,200
Speaker 4: they got a safety who doesn't really tackle and got

508
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,399
Speaker 4: beat from more twenty yard players than any safety in

509
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:55,920
Speaker 4: the league. So I don't know, man, Yeah, it's tough

510
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,639
Speaker 4: times around here right now. But the kicker, I mean again,

511
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,920
Speaker 4: they could have sign a veteran picker. They held on

512
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 4: to scumming Justin Tucker till after the draft, and then

513
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:06,639
Speaker 4: at that point in time, most of the good pickers

514
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 4: are off the street, and so they wanted to go

515
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 4: young and cheap and show how smart they are. Well,

516
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 4: guess luck and I smarter they think they are.

517
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:15,399
Speaker 5: I'm still holding up a picture with Derrick Henry's face

518
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 5: on it to ask more questions there. But the bigger

519
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:22,680
Speaker 5: question that looms for the year Lamar Jackson being asked

520
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:26,159
Speaker 5: about his future saying not my focus, not what you

521
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:27,119
Speaker 5: know we're talking about.

522
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 3: Now, how does this end?

523
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:34,920
Speaker 4: Well, it ends with one coordinator, definitely non defensive coordinator

524
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 4: z at or Pop Munkin maybe moving on. And look,

525
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:43,159
Speaker 4: I would fight John Hobball and Atasta. They've been tied together,

526
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:45,920
Speaker 4: the contracts are tied together. When one gets an extension,

527
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,399
Speaker 4: the other one gets an extension. You know they're supposed

528
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 4: to be end this together. I'm not letting the Costa

529
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:53,680
Speaker 4: pick the coach. I'm not sending a message that, oh yeah,

530
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:57,920
Speaker 4: personnel isn't really a massive part of this, because personnel

531
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 4: is a massive part of this. Do I think we'll

532
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:05,920
Speaker 4: fire them both? I'm not sure. I mean my hunch

533
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 4: is probably not. But he might not fire any of them.

534
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 4: He might just throw the Mike Brown route, and you know,

535
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 4: keep his money in his pocket and doesn't want to

536
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 4: pay people to leave and doesn't want to deal with

537
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,120
Speaker 4: all that. And I'll just keep kicking the can out here,

538
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 4: and we'll just keep wasting the best years of Lamar's career,

539
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 4: and we keep building teams that don't get pickaways, that

540
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 4: don't get that don't get any pass rush, and that

541
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:28,400
Speaker 4: blow ten point leads in the fourth quarter, or eight

542
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 4: point leads in the fourth quarter, or doesn't point leads

543
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:31,440
Speaker 4: in the fourth quarter.

544
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 1: Jason Locking for our guest Jason Smith Mike Harmon live

545
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,440
Speaker 1: from the Fox Sports Radio studios. Are you mentioned guys

546
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 1: getting fired? We've had four head coaches let go on

547
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 1: Black Monday, Pete Carroll, let go Kevin Stefanski, Jonathan Gannon,

548
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 1: Raheem Morris. Any of these surprise you at all? Or

549
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 1: these like hey, yup up expecting all of these and

550
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:50,880
Speaker 1: now we're moving.

551
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:55,199
Speaker 4: On stuff I chronicled in my final columns at the

552
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:57,399
Speaker 4: Washington Post, and everything I said was going to happen,

553
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,920
Speaker 4: ran I heard was going to happen, it happened. There

554
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 4: were a lot of people out there saying Gannon was

555
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:07,360
Speaker 4: going to be Okay, come on, you know the Dolphins,

556
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 4: We're going to kick the can with McDaniel. That was

557
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 4: pretty clear about a month ago. I still think there

558
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:19,119
Speaker 4: will be other dominoes that fall. The horrible thing we

559
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 4: just talked about. I you know, I still think there's

560
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:27,160
Speaker 4: a chance that Andy Reid could maybe decide to move on, retire,

561
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:31,200
Speaker 4: quasi retire, something like that. There's always a surprise, something

562
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 4: always sort of comes out of left field. You know,

563
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 4: I don't know. Does somebody lose in the playoffs and

564
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 4: an owner get it's a trigger finger. I mean, I

565
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:48,200
Speaker 4: doubt it, Tampa. You know, I wonder maybe there's a

566
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:53,639
Speaker 4: shoot to drop there. But so far it's been basically, uh,

567
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:59,879
Speaker 4: basically you know what what I expected. So people who think, well,

568
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 4: lawyers people would think, well, for I don't know if

569
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 4: i'd buy it. I mean, you talk to some coaching agency,

570
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 4: talk to some executives, like they wonder, you know, Ben Johnson,

571
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 4: a visceerrates them, and I don't think, sorry, but I

572
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 4: don't think your bears are going to Visery then. But

573
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 4: there's a little bit of chatter about that. I know

574
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 4: some coaches out there, coaching candidates are kind of wondering, hoping,

575
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 4: thinking that could become open because obviously that's immediately a

576
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:31,879
Speaker 4: coveted job. But my suspicion is it not.

577
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, I would be a curiosity there, certainly if the

578
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 5: way they go down the stretch here and all the injuries.

579
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 5: But we look at Stefanski gets fired, but Barry sticks around.

580
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 5: And even when Haslam's making his speech, Jason, he's talking

581
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 5: about the personnel and all the limitations yet he gets

582
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 5: to pick the next set of groceries.

583
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 3: I'm a little worse.

584
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:56,119
Speaker 4: That's what people around the league were expecting that it

585
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 4: would go down this way, in large part because this

586
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:02,639
Speaker 4: draft class looks pretty and because this guy's taken a

587
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 4: lot of heat in the past for tearing the whole

588
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:08,159
Speaker 4: thing down, and he likes having you know, sort of

589
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:13,639
Speaker 4: analytically minded guy around and very that was deep Night,

590
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 4: That's very and deep Podesta. But you know, Deep Penedesta's gone.

591
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 4: I wouldn't be shocked if after the draft that bring

592
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:21,440
Speaker 4: in another personal person and then maybe reshuffle around some

593
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:24,680
Speaker 4: titles and you know, Barry kind of gets kicked upstairs

594
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 4: and somebody else maybe comes in to do some of

595
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 4: the GM stuff. That's a sort of chatter that's been

596
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 4: out there in scouting circles for a while now. But no,

597
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 4: I did not think he was going to be let go.

598
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 4: I mean, look, some of these franchises just can't get

599
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 4: out of their own way, and it was time for

600
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:48,640
Speaker 4: Stefanski to move on. But Stefansky obviously had the best

601
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:51,160
Speaker 4: friend there that any coach has had under has them

602
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 4: and they might find themselves hard pressed to replace them

603
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 4: and find somebody to do what the fancy did, which

604
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 4: again he had to go. And I know he didn't

605
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:00,640
Speaker 4: want to be there anymore. He made it a real

606
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 4: clear with the way you ran the team for a while,

607
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:04,639
Speaker 4: youn't want to be there anymore. So I get all that,

608
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:09,119
Speaker 4: but I mean, this division is just in a weird minute.

609
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 4: You know, if Tomlin loses that game, he's maybe gone. Tomlin,

610
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 4: if he gets Black next week, could still maybe be gone.

611
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 4: Lak Jail was staying because the owners too, chief and

612
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 4: the Browns are rebooting again. Man, it's something.

613
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,880
Speaker 1: He's on Twitter at Jason Locking for that is at

614
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,399
Speaker 1: Jason lock and fora Jay has always by check out.

615
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,400
Speaker 1: Wanna bet as well? Jay, Thanks so much man, We'll

616
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:35,199
Speaker 1: talk to you next week. Enjoy the games this weekend.

617
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:36,880
Speaker 4: Thank you guys do the same.

618
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 3: Thanks hey, Jason.

619
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 1: Thanks And now that we like to talk about teams

620
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 1: that are train wrecks and entire fires and absoudnderstand. But

621
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 1: sometimes when an entire division is a tire fire, like

622
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 1: I mean, you had Mike Tomlin posing after a game

623
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 1: after a guy missed a forty four year langrong, ain't

624
00:28:56,840 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 1: got Blake, got me hold Denzel moment not that they

625
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 1: made it, not that they made a big player. Rogers

626
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 1: threw a touchdown and they got a big sack on

627
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 1: fourth down. No, a guy missed a field goal.

628
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 5: And he's like, because if he makes that field goal,

629
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 5: he probably gets fired for going for it on fourth

630
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 5: and it's in a yard you know, going fourth and

631
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 5: goal and not kicking the field goal in the first half.

632
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 1: Rcton's vision is just But really, you know, and Jason

633
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 1: talked about it really briefly, but I want to sink

634
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 1: this is really important.

635
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 3: Twelve seconds left in the game, they have a time out.

636
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 3: They got three time out.

637
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 1: It's a forty four yard field goal. When you settle

638
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 1: for a field goal, this is what happens. This is

639
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 1: a forty four yard field goal on a Sunday night

640
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 1: in the mist and the swirling wind in Pittsburgh where

641
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 1: you know the the overall I think the overall field

642
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 1: goal percentage by opponents is in the bottom.

643
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 3: Third of the league. Yeah, you can't.

644
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 1: You had a priest walk around with holy water and

645
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 1: bless it. Thea had bookie priest Mike North Dan hit

646
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 1: hit there, that's a classic. But you had you settle

647
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 1: for a thirty yard field goal. Forty four yard field

648
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 1: goal into with all this going on, is still a thing.

649
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 1: As good as kickers are, You're not in a great

650
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 1: kicking situation. You have twelve seconds in a time out,

651
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 1: get further down the field. But when you settle for

652
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 1: a field goal, stuff like this happens. So I'm settling

653
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 1: for a forty four year fIF Jason talk first big kick.

654
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 1: He had first thing, everything first everything.

655
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 3: You have time.

656
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 1: I trust Lamar Jackson to be able to not be

657
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 1: a quarterback that runs around and takes twelve seconds off

658
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 1: the clock. Right, run a play, try to get something

659
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 1: because you know what, another five yards maybe the field

660
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 1: goal is good. Another five maybe.

661
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 3: Get another ten yard that the field goal is good.

662
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:38,600
Speaker 3: You have the timeout. What are you doing when you

663
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 3: settle for a field goal from that distance and you biffit?

664
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 3: You deserve to lose.

665
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 5: But generally, you and I, watching as many games as

666
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 5: we have together through the years, what do I complain

667
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 5: about in the first quarter? Why are we settling for

668
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 5: field goals? Why are we Yeah? Three points, that's great.

669
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 5: You got a long game ahead of you. And in

670
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 5: this case, Derick Henry had fifteen carries, one hundred and

671
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 5: twelve yards in the first half five carries fourteen yards

672
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 5: and the second half. I mean, I get it, he's

673
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 5: had some fumbling issues. You're telling me that road grader

674
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 5: the way he's been running the last month. You know

675
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 5: when you actually used him that you couldn't have picked

676
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 5: up a couple more yards because you have the time

677
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 5: out in your back pocket. We watched Harball up and

678
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 5: down the line, tell him the official what he wanted

679
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 5: to do, and then you take the knee exit.

680
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,440

705
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:24,400

706
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:26,280

00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:31,239
Speaker 1: Four coaches well counting Raheem Morris who was fired last

749
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:34,840

750
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 1: were long and the other guys who had been already fired.

751
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 3: But it's about the day.

752
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 1: So I think if you get fired, like within twelve,

753
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:46,800
Speaker 1: if you get fired anytime after your final game Sunday,

754
00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 1: or maybe even into a little bit of Tuesday, where hey,

755
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:52,719
Speaker 1: we just wanted to make sure before we fired you,

756
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 1: like that still becomes a Black Monday thing, Like Okay,

Speaker 1: Not not that I disagreed with this, but it just

763
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:14,960
Speaker 1: made me sad. And I didn't realize how sad I

764
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:17,040
Speaker 1: was until I just saw the b Roll video when

765
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:19,480

771
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:35,800

00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:49,400
Speaker 1: the job with the Raiders because you know, there's only

777
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 1: thirty two of them, and just seeing him, seeing how

778
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:54,040
Speaker 1: excited he still was to be out there and on

779
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:57,240
Speaker 1: the field, but just knowing that this is it because

780
00:35:57,320 --> 00:36:00,160
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll, that he's walking away from the NFL well

781
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:03,359
Speaker 1: after a failed year with the Raiders, and it sucks

782
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:05,799
Speaker 1: for his legacy, but hey, he wanted to get back

783
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:08,320
Speaker 1: in and coach. I just felt sad for him because

784
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:11,880
Speaker 1: like certain coaches like this who have been to a

785
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:14,160
Speaker 1: couple of Super Bowls and won one, and there's you know,

786
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:16,080
Speaker 1: it's not a big brotherhood of guys that have won

787
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 1: super Bowls, you know, and Andy Reid is winning every

788
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 1: other one.

789
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 3: I just felt sad for him.

790
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:22,239
Speaker 1: I just felt sad that this is this is how

791
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:24,920
Speaker 1: it ends for Pete Carroll, who is just so excitable

792
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:26,840
Speaker 1: and so happy to be on a football field. Not

793
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:29,080
Speaker 1: that he didn't make mistakes, not they didn't deserve it.

794
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:31,359
Speaker 1: It's just sad to see that this is the end.

795
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:33,759
Speaker 1: Especially and oh, looks at he had so much He

796
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:35,439
Speaker 1: had so much life left in him. He was still

797
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:38,359
Speaker 1: wearing those air Monarchs around the field where there's big

798
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 1: wide feet like I have, and still excited about.

799
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 3: I just felt sad for the Yeah.

800
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:46,160
Speaker 5: And meanwhile, Seattle rolls on in the post Pete Carroll

801
00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 5: era usc still floundering. Can he come and relieve Lincoln

802
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 5: Riley and go back to the glory days of old

803
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 5: before he left like a thief in the night at

804
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:55,879
Speaker 5: that one.

805
00:36:56,000 --> 00:37:00,120
Speaker 3: All of that stuff is the statute limitations gone, like

806
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:01,799
Speaker 3: if I came back and not gonna the show.

807
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 1: Cost stuff is done with a harball penalty, right, like

808
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:06,879
Speaker 1: if I'm coming back to college football too soon?

809
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:07,759
Speaker 3: Right, not gonna do that.

810
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:11,720
Speaker 5: But all of that to say, this year it's interesting,

811
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:14,840
Speaker 5: right because spy Tech and Tom Brady will be the

812
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:15,719
Speaker 5: guys going forward.

813
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:16,680
Speaker 3: Well, spy Tech put this.

814
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:20,239
Speaker 5: Team together, yeah right, I mean Pete stumped it and

815
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:22,719
Speaker 5: got his guy Gino Smith there, and he could hit

816
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 5: the broad side of a barn. It was a turnover

817
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:27,959
Speaker 5: machine behind one of the worst offensive lines we've seen

818
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:31,480
Speaker 5: collectively in a long long time. Miller getting hurt obviously

819
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 5: took the one positive piece out of it. Genty was

820
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:40,480
Speaker 5: good in spots, but not overwhelming. Bowers got hurt like

821
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:43,319
Speaker 5: all that Crosby missed some time. Like all of these

822
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:45,760
Speaker 5: things that, like the few stars that you had weren't

823
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:49,239
Speaker 5: available to you, and the roster was trash in a

824
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:53,320
Speaker 5: division that was pretty good. You even had the Chiefs

825
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:56,680
Speaker 5: had this giant fallback, Mahomes eventually gets hurt, but they

826
00:37:56,719 --> 00:38:00,319
Speaker 5: were already sputtering, already staggering back into the corn as

827
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:03,480
Speaker 5: if they'd been hit with a couple of bolo punches.

828
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:05,800
Speaker 5: But you couldn't do anything with it.

829
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:10,080
Speaker 1: As you said, all of that with with with Pete

830
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:12,399
Speaker 1: Carroll and the Raiders, the one thing to go back

831
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:14,440
Speaker 1: to is that no matter how bad a season that

832
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 1: it was, no matter what it was, if he got

833
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 1: the quarterback right, he would still have a job. It

834
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 1: wouldn't be drafting number one overall taking another quarterback. If

835
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:26,200
Speaker 1: he got the quarterback right, there would be a sense

836
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 1: of Okay. Pete came in and you needed somebody that

837
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:31,600
Speaker 1: you would think would stop the backsliding right, and Pete

838
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:33,440
Speaker 1: was the right guy at the right time. He's the

839
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:35,759
Speaker 1: right guy to higher then because you need some sort

840
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:39,360
Speaker 1: of stability, and Pete Carroll's stopped the backsliding. Brady comes in.

841
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 1: Gino Smith had been pretty good with with Carol for

842
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:44,960
Speaker 1: his career in Seattle. I liked the high It was

843
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:47,160
Speaker 1: the right call at the time. Doesn't mean it worked out,

844
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:49,320
Speaker 1: but it was the right call at the time, and

845
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:53,200
Speaker 1: had he gotten the quarterback right or just less wrong,

846
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:55,680
Speaker 1: he would still be the Raiders head coach. But that

847
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 1: but that's what it boils. It does all this other

848
00:38:57,640 --> 00:38:59,840
Speaker 1: stuff with the with the with the with gent and

849
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:03,239
Speaker 1: everybody else, And I get it in Bowers and all,

850
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:05,759
Speaker 1: I get it. But if he got the quarterback just

851
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:08,480
Speaker 1: a little bit more right, he would still be the

852
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:11,200
Speaker 1: head coach. But he didn't, and it's just his time.

853
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:13,400
Speaker 1: It's time for them to move on. It's time for

854
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:15,480
Speaker 1: him to be done coaching in the NFL. And that's

855
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:17,239
Speaker 1: why I said, because this is it from me. It's

856
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 1: just his natural time to say, Okay, it's time for

857
00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:21,560
Speaker 1: me to go whatever else he wants to do in football,

858
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:23,760
Speaker 1: but being a head coach, it's not gonna happen.

859
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:27,880
Speaker 5: Because when we at seventy four years old, had an

860
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:33,600
Speaker 5: opportunity here and unfortunately biffed it. It's unfortunate that his

861
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:36,320
Speaker 5: age has to become part of the discussion, right in

862
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 5: terms of can you get a out of a shot?

863
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:40,640
Speaker 5: It's what we talked about with Belichick going to North

864
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:43,800
Speaker 5: Carolina and everything else that you wonder if it's that

865
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:46,719
Speaker 5: natural cycle. But yeah, tying yourself to Gino Smith and

866
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:49,760
Speaker 5: him being absolutely atrocious.

867
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:51,279
Speaker 3: Because I'm sure that he kills you.

868
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:53,080
Speaker 1: It's not gonna be a great year, but it will

869
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:56,239
Speaker 1: be a a settlement year where we're gonna settle in

870
00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:58,359
Speaker 1: and we're gonna, you know, we'll win six or seven

871
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:01,040
Speaker 1: games and we'll show you that we're on the way up. Right,

872
00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:02,480
Speaker 1: It's going to be a year where, Okay, I know

873
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:04,719
Speaker 1: the floor is going to be high, and it's said

874
00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:06,160
Speaker 1: the floor is incredible, but that's.

875
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:08,800
Speaker 5: Just it, right, the floor higher. I saw some expected

876
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:11,160
Speaker 5: values that it said, well, your range could be as

877
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:13,400
Speaker 5: high as nine wins, and there were people looking at

878
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:16,359
Speaker 5: them as a playoff squad right on paper with again

879
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:18,719
Speaker 5: some of the star power that you had on both

880
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:22,319
Speaker 5: sides of the ball, and Carlson is your kicker. Unfortunately,

881
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:26,320
Speaker 5: it all went to hell with every passing interception, the

882
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:29,720
Speaker 5: one to one touchdown to interception rate in today's NFL

883
00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:30,439
Speaker 5: at getting it done.

884
00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:32,920
Speaker 3: Thank you, Pete Carroll again had a good run. Well,

885
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 3: you had a great run. Great run.

886
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:36,440
Speaker 1: It's just I'm sad. It's okay to be sad at

887
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:37,719
Speaker 1: the end. You can be sad at the end of it.

888
00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:39,800
Speaker 1: You're very so sad at the end I'm sad forget that.

889
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:40,600
Speaker 3: It's like some of the.

890
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:44,279
Speaker 1: Movies I watched in wasted hours, unless coach wearing the

891
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:47,239
Speaker 1: air Monarchs would size six eight feet like me. I

892
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:49,719
Speaker 1: might have a pair for you coming up next. What

893
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:51,840
Speaker 1: fired head coach today will be a head coach in

894
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:53,000
Speaker 1: the NFL next season.

895
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:54,720
Speaker 3: We'll tell you Fox,
