Then he rattled off 12 00:00:58,246 --> 00:01:02,246 Speaker 1: home Alone, Christmas Vacation, the Santa Clause. I don't know 13 00:01:02,326 --> 00:01:06,566 Speaker 1: where you stand on is list, but I agree with that. 14 00:01:06,606 --> 00:01:10,206 Speaker 1: You are a big Christmas movie watcher, huge Christmas movie watcher. 15 00:01:10,526 --> 00:01:14,326 Speaker 1: I just introduced my husband to The Santa Claus. We 16 00:01:14,446 --> 00:01:18,286 Speaker 1: just watched it last weekend. It's phenomenal. I was obsessed 17 00:01:18,326 --> 00:01:21,126 Speaker 1: with that movie growing up, obsessed with that movie. To 18 00:01:21,286 --> 00:01:25,166 Speaker 1: Malan is hilarious in it. Yes, Christmas Vacation, It's all 19 00:01:25,206 --> 00:01:27,006 Speaker 1: part of the experience. Yesterday it has to be on 20 00:01:27,086 --> 00:01:29,606 Speaker 1: their home alone for sure. I think it's a good list. 21 00:01:29,606 --> 00:01:31,926 Speaker 1: I think it's a good top three. A Christmas story 22 00:01:31,966 --> 00:01:33,926 Speaker 1: I think has to be within the top five. I 23 00:01:33,966 --> 00:01:37,966 Speaker 1: personally really like it. But m J, why is it 24 00:01:38,366 --> 00:01:43,606 Speaker 1: that the parents are so negligent that they don't look 25 00:01:43,646 --> 00:01:48,166 Speaker 1: after their kids, don't have a relationship where with their kids? Why? 26 00:01:48,366 --> 00:01:51,126 Speaker 1: It was the era? I think it was sort of like, hey, 27 00:01:51,206 --> 00:01:54,886 Speaker 1: go up there, Muppets Christmas. Ringer in here from our 28 00:01:54,886 --> 00:02:00,126 Speaker 1: producer Aaron Kaufman. M Yeah, overrated movie. I like it. 29 00:02:00,406 --> 00:02:03,366 Speaker 1: Overrated movies Christmas. Yeah. I don't know that anything can 30 00:02:03,406 --> 00:02:07,406 Speaker 1: be overrated when it comes to because it's so specific. Um, 31 00:02:07,526 --> 00:02:09,246 Speaker 1: I don't think it's overrated. I like it. It's a 32 00:02:09,526 --> 00:02:13,806 Speaker 1: it's given us so many pop culture moments. Um, it's 33 00:02:14,406 --> 00:02:18,846 Speaker 1: reference today. God, that's depressing. Um. Why is it called 34 00:02:18,886 --> 00:02:21,246 Speaker 1: It's a Wonderful Life? Because the whole movie is very dark. 35 00:02:21,526 --> 00:02:23,166 Speaker 1: It really is. And I don't know if it's the 36 00:02:23,206 --> 00:02:26,326 Speaker 1: black and white thing that just has to be. I mean, 37 00:02:26,406 --> 00:02:31,086 Speaker 1: sleep ye Christmas. The Jim Carrey versions is specifically, it's 38 00:02:31,126 --> 00:02:34,566 Speaker 1: it's it's awful, it's terrible. You like to stop, what 39 00:02:34,606 --> 00:02:38,366 Speaker 1: are you talking about not good, not good? What makes 40 00:02:38,366 --> 00:02:45,726 Speaker 1: it not good? I'm flabbergasted. I just entirely what's thin. 41 00:02:48,286 --> 00:02:49,966 Speaker 1: And I like Jim Carrey. I mean, there's a lot 42 00:02:49,966 --> 00:02:52,926 Speaker 1: of people that find him polarizing, but I like his 43 00:02:52,926 --> 00:02:55,766 Speaker 1: his comedic talent and what he brings to the screen. 44 00:02:55,806 --> 00:03:00,366 Speaker 1: It just didn't think that he brought it enough for me. 45 00:03:01,966 --> 00:03:04,486 Speaker 1: I feel like that's one of his two best A 46 00:03:04,486 --> 00:03:09,006 Speaker 1: little too plotting, no, no, no, so good. So we 47 00:03:09,046 --> 00:03:11,286 Speaker 1: have to agree to disagree on that one dinner with me. 48 00:03:11,366 --> 00:03:14,726 Speaker 1: I can't cancel that again. There's so many quotable moments 49 00:03:14,726 --> 00:03:18,846 Speaker 1: in that movie. It's so good, so good will not there. 50 00:03:19,206 --> 00:03:21,446 Speaker 1: I was not expecting that from them. I'm very I 51 00:03:21,526 --> 00:03:25,006 Speaker 1: know we have a first little disagreement on the podcast. 52 00:03:26,326 --> 00:03:31,446 Speaker 1: It's a growing moment. Yeah. Well, when I watch or 53 00:03:31,566 --> 00:03:36,406 Speaker 1: see your social media, your Instagram, I always tell you 54 00:03:36,446 --> 00:03:40,606 Speaker 1: this that I live vicariously through you because a lot 55 00:03:40,686 --> 00:03:44,246 Speaker 1: of cool experiences, lots of them pretty cool. This week 56 00:03:44,406 --> 00:03:46,166 Speaker 1: it is fun and so like. That's what I remind 57 00:03:46,166 --> 00:03:48,046 Speaker 1: myself because sometimes I look at the calendar, I'm like, 58 00:03:48,046 --> 00:03:51,006 Speaker 1: how is there something every single night? I don't I 59 00:03:51,286 --> 00:03:53,646 Speaker 1: don't want to do things. Sometimes I just want to 60 00:03:53,646 --> 00:03:55,046 Speaker 1: see it. Most of the time, I just want to 61 00:03:55,046 --> 00:04:00,166 Speaker 1: be at home always. And then there are things that 62 00:04:00,206 --> 00:04:03,046 Speaker 1: I'm I've circled four times right like on my calendar 63 00:04:03,086 --> 00:04:05,326 Speaker 1: that absolutely I can't wait to get there. And earlier 64 00:04:05,326 --> 00:04:08,086 Speaker 1: this week was one of them because ABC was celebrating 65 00:04:08,206 --> 00:04:11,326 Speaker 1: the thirtieth anniversary of Beauty and the Beast. So they've 66 00:04:11,326 --> 00:04:15,206 Speaker 1: done this this this play remake of and not remake 67 00:04:15,246 --> 00:04:19,766 Speaker 1: but sort of honoring it. Her plays Belle Martin short 68 00:04:20,126 --> 00:04:23,566 Speaker 1: is Lumier Shania Twain as Missus Pops. I mean, it's 69 00:04:23,566 --> 00:04:27,206 Speaker 1: it's phenomenal. Um. So we went to this event, um 70 00:04:27,726 --> 00:04:30,286 Speaker 1: joy and I went to this event and the first 71 00:04:30,286 --> 00:04:36,286 Speaker 1: person I see is Rita Marino. Wow, she's the best. 72 00:04:36,686 --> 00:04:41,606 Speaker 1: I mean, she's an icon for sure. Oh my god. 73 00:04:41,686 --> 00:04:43,566 Speaker 1: So the whole night, I'm like, what do I do? 74 00:04:43,886 --> 00:04:45,486 Speaker 1: When do I talk to her? Like do I this? 75 00:04:45,646 --> 00:04:49,046 Speaker 1: And I don't really get starstruck like that, but she 76 00:04:49,166 --> 00:04:52,006 Speaker 1: is definitely one of those um who who it doesn't 77 00:04:52,006 --> 00:04:54,606 Speaker 1: even matter, put your pride aside. Like so towards the 78 00:04:54,686 --> 00:04:58,126 Speaker 1: end of the evening, she's like waiting, um, you know, 79 00:04:58,286 --> 00:04:59,766 Speaker 1: towards the door to go out. I'm like, I get 80 00:04:59,806 --> 00:05:01,726 Speaker 1: this is it, Like I have to go shoot my shot. 81 00:05:02,046 --> 00:05:05,526 Speaker 1: She could not be more like fab you list, even 82 00:05:05,566 --> 00:05:07,646 Speaker 1: in like a casual setting. She's just sitting there with 83 00:05:07,726 --> 00:05:11,246 Speaker 1: a glass of Chardonnay in her hand. And I was like, okay, 84 00:05:11,286 --> 00:05:14,326 Speaker 1: this is it. So I go over the most awkward 85 00:05:14,926 --> 00:05:17,366 Speaker 1: Why am I this way? I was so awkward will 86 00:05:17,526 --> 00:05:20,166 Speaker 1: I'm like, hi, Rita, Oh my god, huge fan, interview 87 00:05:20,246 --> 00:05:24,126 Speaker 1: athletes all the time, Hall of famers. I've interviewed like megastars, 88 00:05:24,246 --> 00:05:28,006 Speaker 1: j Looshkire crazy. This one got you. Then Rita got me. 89 00:05:28,166 --> 00:05:29,806 Speaker 1: So I go over and I'm talking to her and 90 00:05:29,846 --> 00:05:33,166 Speaker 1: the first words that come into my mouth I'm not proud. 91 00:05:33,366 --> 00:05:44,446 Speaker 1: I'm like, so my husband's Puerto Rican. Good for you, sweetie. 92 00:05:44,606 --> 00:05:46,166 Speaker 1: And I was like, oh my god, what is that? 93 00:05:46,246 --> 00:05:49,286 Speaker 1: What the hell? Like? What am I saying right now? 94 00:05:50,166 --> 00:05:53,046 Speaker 1: I love? Like So then she could not have been 95 00:05:53,046 --> 00:05:54,766 Speaker 1: more racist, And she's like, so what do you do? 96 00:05:54,806 --> 00:05:56,646 Speaker 1: I was like, what do I? What do I do? 97 00:05:56,686 --> 00:05:58,286 Speaker 1: I'm like, well, you wouldn't know it by this interact. 98 00:05:58,326 --> 00:06:02,086 Speaker 1: You actually right, actually talk for a living um not 99 00:06:02,126 --> 00:06:04,366 Speaker 1: giving me you my best stuff right now? Though. So 100 00:06:04,406 --> 00:06:08,486 Speaker 1: I told her about NFL and being the first Latinazojosa 101 00:06:08,526 --> 00:06:12,086 Speaker 1: and she could not have been more kind to me. 102 00:06:12,206 --> 00:06:17,686 Speaker 1: In my in my stupor, I looked ridiculous and Joy's like, no, no, no, 103 00:06:17,686 --> 00:06:19,406 Speaker 1: it was fine. But I had already told Joy, like, hey, 104 00:06:19,486 --> 00:06:21,166 Speaker 1: have your camera ready because I'm asking for a picture, 105 00:06:21,206 --> 00:06:24,926 Speaker 1: like you gotta come in right at the photo documentary. 106 00:06:25,286 --> 00:06:26,606 Speaker 1: She gets the picture, I was like, let me get 107 00:06:26,606 --> 00:06:28,766 Speaker 1: out here before I embarrass myself any longer. But she's 108 00:06:28,806 --> 00:06:32,006 Speaker 1: she's definitely one of those you know Latina icons that 109 00:06:33,126 --> 00:06:37,806 Speaker 1: made such a huge mark for me anyway growing up 110 00:06:37,806 --> 00:06:41,686 Speaker 1: and just watching her till this day, she's ninety one 111 00:06:41,726 --> 00:06:46,086 Speaker 1: and looks fabulous. I'm convinced that, like Latina's just on age. 112 00:06:46,086 --> 00:06:49,526 Speaker 1: So I'm really hoping that that's my trajectory. That will 113 00:06:49,606 --> 00:06:52,486 Speaker 1: definitely be your trajectory. And I need to know that 114 00:06:52,566 --> 00:06:56,126 Speaker 1: for my parents, they loved Rita Moreno and everything that 115 00:06:56,166 --> 00:06:58,926 Speaker 1: she's been and she still continues to act still to 116 00:06:59,126 --> 00:07:03,886 Speaker 1: this day. Ye, And she is an absolute hero, absolutely hero. 117 00:07:03,966 --> 00:07:06,246 Speaker 1: And I bet if you asked or what she thought 118 00:07:06,246 --> 00:07:09,566 Speaker 1: of the Jim Carrey Grinch Christmas movie, would love that 119 00:07:09,686 --> 00:07:13,126 Speaker 1: she would be on my son Barry Dare you you 120 00:07:13,166 --> 00:07:16,966 Speaker 1: know she loved that movie. She no, no, no way, um, 121 00:07:17,046 --> 00:07:19,726 Speaker 1: but she would be somebody great to have on this podcast. 122 00:07:20,646 --> 00:07:23,686 Speaker 1: I would guess that would be reduction for me. Maybe 123 00:07:23,766 --> 00:07:27,566 Speaker 1: less awkward on the podcast. That'd be great. Let's see, 124 00:07:28,966 --> 00:07:32,846 Speaker 1: I ruined it. I shot my son and I ruined it. Oh, 125 00:07:32,886 --> 00:07:35,406 Speaker 1: I'm happy for you. I don't know if you're gonna 126 00:07:35,406 --> 00:07:37,846 Speaker 1: like some of these headlines, but I haven't. Anyway, m 127 00:07:37,926 --> 00:07:43,646 Speaker 1: Jay do it. Breaking news is just in it all right, 128 00:07:43,646 --> 00:07:47,006 Speaker 1: as we know, a season to forget for the Cardinals. 129 00:07:47,046 --> 00:07:51,406 Speaker 1: This week alone, Kyler Murray tears its ACL then we 130 00:07:51,526 --> 00:07:55,566 Speaker 1: learned that GM Steve Cime takes an indefinite health related 131 00:07:55,686 --> 00:07:59,046 Speaker 1: leave of absence. First off, I just want to say 132 00:07:59,286 --> 00:08:02,806 Speaker 1: speedy recovery for Kyler Murray and for whatever the issue 133 00:08:02,926 --> 00:08:06,206 Speaker 1: is for Steve Cime and his family. We hope it 134 00:08:06,246 --> 00:08:09,526 Speaker 1: gets resolved for him, for sure. That's first and foremost. 135 00:08:09,606 --> 00:08:12,446 Speaker 1: Everybody's health is always top of mind. But it has 136 00:08:12,446 --> 00:08:15,886 Speaker 1: been just a tumultuous season for the Cardinals, I think, 137 00:08:15,966 --> 00:08:18,126 Speaker 1: especially after the way it started with all of the 138 00:08:19,406 --> 00:08:24,126 Speaker 1: let's call it unrest around Kyler Murray and all the rumors, 139 00:08:24,126 --> 00:08:26,206 Speaker 1: and then there was the homework clause, and then there 140 00:08:26,246 --> 00:08:27,846 Speaker 1: was the contract and then he did get paid and 141 00:08:28,366 --> 00:08:32,126 Speaker 1: it has just it hasn't stopped for the squad. And 142 00:08:32,646 --> 00:08:35,166 Speaker 1: I don't know what's coming down the pipeline, but this 143 00:08:35,246 --> 00:08:38,846 Speaker 1: is not good foreshadowing for this Cardinal scene. No, not 144 00:08:38,926 --> 00:08:41,726 Speaker 1: at all. And remember the assistant coach was fired and 145 00:08:41,926 --> 00:08:45,766 Speaker 1: all this documented in front of the cameras of HBO 146 00:08:45,886 --> 00:08:49,166 Speaker 1: Hard Knocks in season. And I do think that the 147 00:08:49,206 --> 00:08:52,646 Speaker 1: franchise right now is at a crossroads. Yes, they did 148 00:08:52,806 --> 00:08:57,406 Speaker 1: give extensions to Kyme and at Cliff Kingsbury, and Kyler 149 00:08:57,446 --> 00:09:01,006 Speaker 1: obviously got his big contract, but he is going to 150 00:09:01,046 --> 00:09:05,246 Speaker 1: miss majority of next season as well. Then you question 151 00:09:05,366 --> 00:09:10,206 Speaker 1: whether he actually is schematically a fit for the offense 152 00:09:10,566 --> 00:09:15,126 Speaker 1: that Cliff Kingsbury runs and if the best is being 153 00:09:15,166 --> 00:09:19,246 Speaker 1: maximized from Kyler Murray. So this is going to be 154 00:09:19,326 --> 00:09:23,446 Speaker 1: a very critical off season for this franchise. We'll see 155 00:09:23,446 --> 00:09:26,006 Speaker 1: what happens with Steve Kime and also see what happens 156 00:09:26,206 --> 00:09:29,806 Speaker 1: with Cliff Kingsbury and if they decide to move on 157 00:09:30,086 --> 00:09:33,806 Speaker 1: either way, though they would have a hefty buyout to 158 00:09:34,326 --> 00:09:39,166 Speaker 1: pay to him. The Cardinals obviously they faced the Niners 159 00:09:39,286 --> 00:09:42,046 Speaker 1: in Mexico City recently. You were there to witness it, 160 00:09:42,246 --> 00:09:44,966 Speaker 1: and it sounds like we'll have to wait a little 161 00:09:44,966 --> 00:09:47,926 Speaker 1: while longer for the next game south of the border Estaliosteca. 162 00:09:48,086 --> 00:09:51,406 Speaker 1: We'll undergo renovations for the World Cup so that all 163 00:09:51,486 --> 00:09:54,886 Speaker 1: like will be not one but two games in Munich 164 00:09:55,326 --> 00:09:58,726 Speaker 1: next season. And this is a bomber to our friends 165 00:09:58,766 --> 00:10:01,366 Speaker 1: in Mexico, MJ. Because you were there, you witnessed it. 166 00:10:01,366 --> 00:10:04,206 Speaker 1: It was such a cool experience. I mean, just the 167 00:10:04,246 --> 00:10:07,246 Speaker 1: atmosphere there, I've told you before, is as close to 168 00:10:07,366 --> 00:10:09,926 Speaker 1: a championship atmosphere as you'll get in the middle of 169 00:10:09,966 --> 00:10:14,486 Speaker 1: the season. Um, it's just an electric city. And the 170 00:10:14,606 --> 00:10:18,566 Speaker 1: NFL fans there are true NFL fans. They're not just 171 00:10:18,646 --> 00:10:21,286 Speaker 1: fans of the league and of you know, having American 172 00:10:21,286 --> 00:10:23,686 Speaker 1: football there. They know these teams, they know these players 173 00:10:23,726 --> 00:10:25,606 Speaker 1: really well. Um you know, they had to take a 174 00:10:25,646 --> 00:10:28,166 Speaker 1: break because of the pandemic of course, so having it 175 00:10:28,206 --> 00:10:31,526 Speaker 1: back this year was it was a celebration and that's 176 00:10:31,526 --> 00:10:33,646 Speaker 1: what it felt like like you were walking into a 177 00:10:33,846 --> 00:10:37,246 Speaker 1: party celebrating the game there. So you know what, I'm 178 00:10:37,246 --> 00:10:39,846 Speaker 1: expecting that once they once they finished the renovations, so 179 00:10:39,926 --> 00:10:42,366 Speaker 1: you know what, that that game sign me up for 180 00:10:42,406 --> 00:10:44,886 Speaker 1: that will we all got to go still when the 181 00:10:44,926 --> 00:10:50,846 Speaker 1: lasting images for me is Kittle getting serenaded to I yeah, yeah, yeah, 182 00:10:50,886 --> 00:10:54,366 Speaker 1: you know, and he's there, yeah, what hey Kittle? Yes, 183 00:10:54,406 --> 00:10:57,406 Speaker 1: I forgot my bad. Um. I think my mom now 184 00:10:57,406 --> 00:11:00,966 Speaker 1: thinks that Kittle is Latina. I don't know, Oh my god, Mom, 185 00:11:02,566 --> 00:11:06,326 Speaker 1: it's it's we've taken a minute, a little. It's too bad. 186 00:11:06,366 --> 00:11:10,286 Speaker 1: But hopefully it returns sooner rather than later to Mexico 187 00:11:10,366 --> 00:11:12,326 Speaker 1: City because they certainly know how to put on a 188 00:11:12,366 --> 00:11:16,286 Speaker 1: game and to make it a great experience. Now, before 189 00:11:16,366 --> 00:11:20,166 Speaker 1: that game, you went to Colorado Springs, where we had 190 00:11:20,206 --> 00:11:23,846 Speaker 1: talked about bundling up and how cold it was. The 191 00:11:23,926 --> 00:11:28,006 Speaker 1: team was getting used to the altitude there, but you 192 00:11:28,046 --> 00:11:30,006 Speaker 1: also had to get used to not only the altitude 193 00:11:30,006 --> 00:11:32,766 Speaker 1: but the weather. And it sounds like the weather in 194 00:11:32,886 --> 00:11:36,246 Speaker 1: Buffalo once again. It's going to be a storyline as 195 00:11:36,286 --> 00:11:42,686 Speaker 1: Bridget tempts await the Dolphins Saturday night on End Network. Now, 196 00:11:42,966 --> 00:11:45,326 Speaker 1: if you saw this, but Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel 197 00:11:45,366 --> 00:11:48,526 Speaker 1: seen strutting around practice wearing a I wish it were 198 00:11:48,686 --> 00:11:53,886 Speaker 1: colder shirt and McDaniel saying it will personally do zero 199 00:11:54,126 --> 00:11:59,246 Speaker 1: monitoring of the Buffalo weather. What is your take to 200 00:11:59,326 --> 00:12:01,846 Speaker 1: his approach because they see that you've got your head 201 00:12:01,886 --> 00:12:05,286 Speaker 1: in your hands, shaking your head or off back to 202 00:12:05,326 --> 00:12:08,566 Speaker 1: back losses. I need Mike to just do less right now, 203 00:12:09,126 --> 00:12:11,966 Speaker 1: do less, focus on the scheme, focus on make I'm 204 00:12:12,006 --> 00:12:15,646 Speaker 1: not opposed to the heat lamps at all. Not opposed 205 00:12:15,686 --> 00:12:21,686 Speaker 1: to the heat lamps. Well, I was there. It was cold, 206 00:12:21,726 --> 00:12:24,606 Speaker 1: people wearing puff jackets, they had beanies on. I was 207 00:12:24,606 --> 00:12:27,446 Speaker 1: looking for handwarmers. Now, to be fair, I'm soft. I'm 208 00:12:27,446 --> 00:12:33,406 Speaker 1: always cold, but it was cold, not Buffalo cold. But regardless, regardless, 209 00:12:33,406 --> 00:12:35,326 Speaker 1: I'm not mad out of heat lamp. Fine, do what 210 00:12:35,406 --> 00:12:40,086 Speaker 1: you gotta do. I think it's self preservation. Maybe chestnut checkers. However, 211 00:12:40,566 --> 00:12:42,606 Speaker 1: I can't get away from the fact that I remember 212 00:12:42,726 --> 00:12:45,766 Speaker 1: being at this week three showdown in Miami Gardens and 213 00:12:45,846 --> 00:12:49,206 Speaker 1: looking at the thermostat that they have on the field 214 00:12:49,766 --> 00:12:52,446 Speaker 1: in Miami and it said one hundred and twenty degrees. 215 00:12:52,846 --> 00:12:57,246 Speaker 1: So it will literally be a one hundred degrees one 216 00:12:57,326 --> 00:13:02,366 Speaker 1: hundred degrees colder dang near on Saturday. But you can't 217 00:13:02,366 --> 00:13:03,726 Speaker 1: think of it that way. I was just on a 218 00:13:03,766 --> 00:13:08,006 Speaker 1: palodcast with johathan's Asso, who who's a local radio host 219 00:13:08,046 --> 00:13:12,206 Speaker 1: fantastic guy in Miami, and he was saying, do people 220 00:13:12,206 --> 00:13:16,006 Speaker 1: forget that the Dolphins playing cold weather every year? Like 221 00:13:16,046 --> 00:13:18,046 Speaker 1: this isn't the first time they've ever been in a 222 00:13:18,406 --> 00:13:23,886 Speaker 1: cold weather game in their entire lives. Like everybody, they 223 00:13:23,926 --> 00:13:27,326 Speaker 1: do it several times a year. Remember they like they 224 00:13:27,326 --> 00:13:30,126 Speaker 1: play Buffalo every year. I hear you, But it's just 225 00:13:30,246 --> 00:13:32,566 Speaker 1: it's the first time that they're doing it now with 226 00:13:32,726 --> 00:13:36,766 Speaker 1: Tua entrenched as their starter and how he's going to respond, 227 00:13:37,206 --> 00:13:40,726 Speaker 1: especially given to two games they just had, and also 228 00:13:40,886 --> 00:13:44,366 Speaker 1: they have Mike McDaniel as a rookie head coach himself. 229 00:13:45,206 --> 00:13:48,166 Speaker 1: I just think the advantage that Buffalo has, they know 230 00:13:48,286 --> 00:13:50,926 Speaker 1: that they have it, and this is a game that 231 00:13:51,126 --> 00:13:52,686 Speaker 1: two is going to feel a little bit of the 232 00:13:52,766 --> 00:13:56,606 Speaker 1: pressure because this is what the Dolphins and Dolphins fans 233 00:13:56,686 --> 00:14:00,526 Speaker 1: want to see. This franchise guy that could win on 234 00:14:00,566 --> 00:14:04,646 Speaker 1: the road in the elements in December in Buffalo. For Buffalo, 235 00:14:04,646 --> 00:14:07,246 Speaker 1: this is a clear home field advantage. That's the reason 236 00:14:07,366 --> 00:14:09,366 Speaker 1: why they're going to have a new state of the 237 00:14:09,446 --> 00:14:13,446 Speaker 1: art stadium with no roof, because they know what it's 238 00:14:13,486 --> 00:14:17,206 Speaker 1: going to be going to mean for them, right, which 239 00:14:17,246 --> 00:14:20,046 Speaker 1: is going to mean a lot now For me, I 240 00:14:20,086 --> 00:14:24,966 Speaker 1: would like to see the Dolphins run the ball at 241 00:14:25,366 --> 00:14:31,366 Speaker 1: the Bills. That's one thing that absolutely left me flummixed 242 00:14:31,806 --> 00:14:37,366 Speaker 1: at now the Dolphins could abandon the run against a 243 00:14:37,606 --> 00:14:41,686 Speaker 1: bad run defense. With the Chargers, it's like they completely 244 00:14:41,726 --> 00:14:44,806 Speaker 1: abandoned it. And then what ended up happening is the 245 00:14:44,966 --> 00:14:48,566 Speaker 1: corners were pressing up on Tyree Hill and Jail and 246 00:14:48,686 --> 00:14:51,366 Speaker 1: Waddle and then they clogged up the middle of the 247 00:14:51,406 --> 00:14:54,966 Speaker 1: field and to really relies on the timing getting the 248 00:14:55,006 --> 00:14:59,686 Speaker 1: ball out quickly, and that totally threw everything off. So 249 00:14:59,766 --> 00:15:04,206 Speaker 1: you add weather on top of that too, McDaniel, run 250 00:15:04,246 --> 00:15:07,926 Speaker 1: the ball. Look, the weather is of course a factor. 251 00:15:08,446 --> 00:15:11,406 Speaker 1: You can't discount that. Every team uses that to their advantage. 252 00:15:11,406 --> 00:15:14,206 Speaker 1: Why do you think that the visitors side of the 253 00:15:14,566 --> 00:15:18,806 Speaker 1: field in Miami is the side where the sun directly hits. 254 00:15:18,846 --> 00:15:20,766 Speaker 1: None of these things are by coincidences, the same thing 255 00:15:20,766 --> 00:15:23,166 Speaker 1: that Buffalo does. Every team uses what they have to 256 00:15:23,166 --> 00:15:26,446 Speaker 1: their advantage. That's why it's called home field advantage. My 257 00:15:26,606 --> 00:15:28,846 Speaker 1: bigger issue, and I'll say it right now, I'm not 258 00:15:29,086 --> 00:15:32,486 Speaker 1: concerned about two A's ability. We know what he has, 259 00:15:32,566 --> 00:15:35,166 Speaker 1: but he's got to shake it off like whatever's been 260 00:15:35,206 --> 00:15:37,566 Speaker 1: happening in the last couple of weeks. I could understand it, 261 00:15:37,806 --> 00:15:40,526 Speaker 1: getting the yips maybe against the forty nine ers defense 262 00:15:40,926 --> 00:15:43,886 Speaker 1: fair enough, but you gotta shake it off, especially when 263 00:15:43,926 --> 00:15:46,246 Speaker 1: you stayed on the West coast the whole week. They 264 00:15:46,246 --> 00:15:48,086 Speaker 1: didn't even fly back to Miami, which I thought was 265 00:15:48,126 --> 00:15:50,526 Speaker 1: exactly the right thing to do. But come on, man, 266 00:15:50,886 --> 00:15:53,606 Speaker 1: that's it. Like this, this is the point where the 267 00:15:53,686 --> 00:15:56,366 Speaker 1: rubber meets the road. I fully expect him to do so, 268 00:15:56,606 --> 00:16:00,806 Speaker 1: especially against the Bills. The rest of the schedule is 269 00:16:00,846 --> 00:16:02,446 Speaker 1: not going to be easy for them. They have New 270 00:16:02,446 --> 00:16:05,126 Speaker 1: England again, they have the Jets again. Neither of these 271 00:16:05,126 --> 00:16:08,806 Speaker 1: teams can be discounted. And Green Bay in cold Weather too, 272 00:16:08,886 --> 00:16:12,806 Speaker 1: by the way, Yeah at New England. So look, there's 273 00:16:13,086 --> 00:16:15,126 Speaker 1: there's a lot to be said about how they've played 274 00:16:15,126 --> 00:16:18,646 Speaker 1: the last two weeks. I do not believe what we've 275 00:16:18,686 --> 00:16:21,286 Speaker 1: seen the last two weeks is who this Dolphins team 276 00:16:21,486 --> 00:16:25,126 Speaker 1: is this year, and so they've got to show that, 277 00:16:25,206 --> 00:16:26,806 Speaker 1: and they've got to put that out on the field 278 00:16:27,206 --> 00:16:31,206 Speaker 1: in primetime on Saturday. There's literally no other option. It's 279 00:16:31,246 --> 00:16:33,246 Speaker 1: going to be. It's going to be a physical game. 280 00:16:33,486 --> 00:16:35,446 Speaker 1: They have to be physical. The defense has to be 281 00:16:35,446 --> 00:16:37,406 Speaker 1: as physical as they've ever been, and they got to 282 00:16:37,446 --> 00:16:39,246 Speaker 1: run the ball. That's been the one I agree with 283 00:16:39,246 --> 00:16:41,646 Speaker 1: you entirely on that. What happened to the run game. 284 00:16:42,086 --> 00:16:44,526 Speaker 1: Michael Donne was in charge of the run game in 285 00:16:44,566 --> 00:16:47,246 Speaker 1: San Francisco. Let them wait super Bowl and doing so, 286 00:16:47,406 --> 00:16:50,206 Speaker 1: bring that back and you've got Raheim there, you got 287 00:16:50,246 --> 00:16:52,966 Speaker 1: Jeff Wilson, Jude like, what is happening? So we can 288 00:16:53,006 --> 00:16:55,246 Speaker 1: ask all these questions all we want. Obviously we're not 289 00:16:55,246 --> 00:16:56,966 Speaker 1: going to get a clear answer, but I want the 290 00:16:57,046 --> 00:17:01,006 Speaker 1: answer on Saturday on the field. I do think that 291 00:17:01,126 --> 00:17:04,286 Speaker 1: the Bills want to answer all the critics who say 292 00:17:04,926 --> 00:17:08,606 Speaker 1: this offense isn't built to win a Super Bowl. Now, 293 00:17:09,686 --> 00:17:15,126 Speaker 1: we saw what Josh Allen means to this offense, and 294 00:17:15,646 --> 00:17:19,406 Speaker 1: Sean McDermott had said that his elbow is getting better 295 00:17:19,726 --> 00:17:22,766 Speaker 1: week to week, which we seem to forget that he 296 00:17:23,006 --> 00:17:26,606 Speaker 1: did suffer an elbow injury. He's still out there a 297 00:17:26,606 --> 00:17:30,446 Speaker 1: week to week. But just see Josh Allen maybe on 298 00:17:30,526 --> 00:17:34,566 Speaker 1: those third and longs. Just dump it off. That's okay. 299 00:17:34,606 --> 00:17:36,526 Speaker 1: You don't have to go for the home run ball, 300 00:17:36,606 --> 00:17:39,246 Speaker 1: you don't have to go for the deep bomb. Just 301 00:17:39,246 --> 00:17:42,566 Speaker 1: just dump it off. That's okay, you know, just extend 302 00:17:42,566 --> 00:17:45,446 Speaker 1: those drives a little bit. It's just it's so hard 303 00:17:45,486 --> 00:17:49,246 Speaker 1: because he's such a singular, unique talent that you don't 304 00:17:49,246 --> 00:17:53,326 Speaker 1: want to rain them in too much because then he's 305 00:17:53,406 --> 00:17:56,526 Speaker 1: not the same guy that we see that we love, 306 00:17:56,686 --> 00:18:00,726 Speaker 1: that we admire as a quarterback. But at the same time, 307 00:18:01,406 --> 00:18:04,006 Speaker 1: it's okay to know your limitations, and it's okay if 308 00:18:04,086 --> 00:18:06,326 Speaker 1: Ken Dorsey put his arm around him and said, you 309 00:18:06,366 --> 00:18:08,766 Speaker 1: know what, Josh, it's right. Every once in a while, 310 00:18:08,886 --> 00:18:11,646 Speaker 1: you know, you see singletary there in the flat, throw 311 00:18:11,686 --> 00:18:14,206 Speaker 1: it to him. Nothing wrong with that. Easily can get 312 00:18:14,206 --> 00:18:20,686 Speaker 1: a first down, So that's a biggie. Another storyline from 313 00:18:20,686 --> 00:18:25,286 Speaker 1: the division comes from the Jets, where Zach Wilson is 314 00:18:25,326 --> 00:18:28,406 Speaker 1: now one kind of one snap away from playing as 315 00:18:28,446 --> 00:18:31,446 Speaker 1: he was elevated as the backup to Mike White, who, oh, 316 00:18:31,526 --> 00:18:34,566 Speaker 1: by the way, is dealing with the rib injury. Oh 317 00:18:34,686 --> 00:18:38,406 Speaker 1: my god, Wilson. Yeah, well, he took a beating back there, 318 00:18:38,446 --> 00:18:41,606 Speaker 1: and Wilson saying he's frustrated by the benching but has 319 00:18:41,686 --> 00:18:45,966 Speaker 1: not lost confidence in himself. Of course, the Jets hosting 320 00:18:46,006 --> 00:18:50,246 Speaker 1: the Lines in a game with major playoff implications for 321 00:18:50,366 --> 00:18:53,726 Speaker 1: both of them. I think whoever wins this goes to 322 00:18:53,766 --> 00:18:59,126 Speaker 1: the playoffs. What's your feeling on this? First of all, 323 00:18:59,806 --> 00:19:02,566 Speaker 1: all the credit and props to Mike White for the 324 00:19:02,566 --> 00:19:05,966 Speaker 1: way he played that game. You could you could see 325 00:19:06,446 --> 00:19:08,886 Speaker 1: that he was in pain and he went out there 326 00:19:08,886 --> 00:19:12,086 Speaker 1: and battled for his team. I mean, literally the definition 327 00:19:12,086 --> 00:19:14,526 Speaker 1: of battle tested when it comes to football here. I 328 00:19:14,566 --> 00:19:16,526 Speaker 1: really liked seeing that from him. I think we've known 329 00:19:16,566 --> 00:19:19,606 Speaker 1: that Mike White is really glazy. Teammates to see that too, 330 00:19:19,646 --> 00:19:24,486 Speaker 1: of course, but but this, look, the Lions are are 331 00:19:24,766 --> 00:19:28,606 Speaker 1: rolling right now, they are, and the Jets are literally 332 00:19:29,046 --> 00:19:31,846 Speaker 1: beat up at the moment, coming off back to back 333 00:19:31,926 --> 00:19:35,446 Speaker 1: losses as well. Um, this will be This will be 334 00:19:35,486 --> 00:19:39,846 Speaker 1: a good I love the fact that the Lions offense 335 00:19:39,846 --> 00:19:41,686 Speaker 1: can put up so many points. I mean, they've got 336 00:19:41,686 --> 00:19:45,326 Speaker 1: to be There's a top five scoring offense right now 337 00:19:45,366 --> 00:19:48,006 Speaker 1: in the league going up against this third total defense. 338 00:19:48,606 --> 00:19:51,006 Speaker 1: This is gonna be. This is gonna be good. But 339 00:19:51,006 --> 00:19:53,046 Speaker 1: but I'm I'm concerned for all the injuries on the 340 00:19:53,126 --> 00:19:56,006 Speaker 1: Jet side here. Um, it's kind of wild because I 341 00:19:56,046 --> 00:19:58,126 Speaker 1: don't think at the beginning of the season we would 342 00:19:58,166 --> 00:20:01,646 Speaker 1: have looked at this matchup and said playoff implication. No, no, 343 00:20:01,726 --> 00:20:04,566 Speaker 1: not at all. That's what makes this so great. Quinn Williams, 344 00:20:04,966 --> 00:20:07,606 Speaker 1: he's iffy as well, so we'll have to monitor his 345 00:20:07,766 --> 00:20:12,606 Speaker 1: situation going into this one. But with Mike White, you know, 346 00:20:12,646 --> 00:20:15,366 Speaker 1: I don't know if you have those folding chairs that 347 00:20:15,406 --> 00:20:19,486 Speaker 1: you can wear like backpacks, and sometimes when you try 348 00:20:19,486 --> 00:20:23,166 Speaker 1: to fold them it's really hard. Well, I feel like 349 00:20:23,766 --> 00:20:27,966 Speaker 1: Matt Milano really was able to fold Mike White like 350 00:20:28,246 --> 00:20:32,686 Speaker 1: a lawn chair, and it was so painful, but it's 351 00:20:32,726 --> 00:20:36,286 Speaker 1: something that gained admiration in that locker room, yet another 352 00:20:36,326 --> 00:20:40,486 Speaker 1: indication of how much they like him. Hopefully Zach Wilson 353 00:20:40,566 --> 00:20:44,446 Speaker 1: has been able to sit back, watch learn to take accountability, 354 00:20:44,486 --> 00:20:48,126 Speaker 1: because that's what Robert Salis said. And now let's keep 355 00:20:48,166 --> 00:20:51,286 Speaker 1: in mind, this is no slam dunk that Mike White 356 00:20:51,606 --> 00:20:55,446 Speaker 1: is going to be healthy to play. I believe that 357 00:20:55,526 --> 00:20:59,726 Speaker 1: he's going to gut it out anyway. But he's literally 358 00:21:00,286 --> 00:21:04,566 Speaker 1: just one play away, one hit away from having Zach Wilson. 359 00:21:04,806 --> 00:21:07,966 Speaker 1: I'm in because again, not too long ago, he was 360 00:21:08,006 --> 00:21:11,646 Speaker 1: the number two overall pick and Robert Sali still has 361 00:21:11,686 --> 00:21:15,566 Speaker 1: to develop him, still has to coach him up. This 362 00:21:15,686 --> 00:21:19,806 Speaker 1: obviously just means that Joe Flacco has already retired, or 363 00:21:19,966 --> 00:21:22,966 Speaker 1: he's going to be eating a hot dog and the 364 00:21:23,086 --> 00:21:27,486 Speaker 1: stands and watching like everybody else, or you know, bundling 365 00:21:27,606 --> 00:21:31,806 Speaker 1: up and already thinking about golf. This is this is 366 00:21:31,806 --> 00:21:33,446 Speaker 1: a big thing, and this is also a big thing 367 00:21:33,566 --> 00:21:36,566 Speaker 1: for the Lions. Have all this momentum. Remember they could 368 00:21:36,566 --> 00:21:41,206 Speaker 1: have beaten the Bills on Thanksgiving. And this is an 369 00:21:41,246 --> 00:21:44,966 Speaker 1: offense that's running the play action extremely well. Love how 370 00:21:45,006 --> 00:21:49,006 Speaker 1: they have dealt with the running game. I'm on st. St. Brown. 371 00:21:49,006 --> 00:21:51,366 Speaker 1: I'm a ross Saint. Brown has been great, able to 372 00:21:51,406 --> 00:21:54,206 Speaker 1: get separation on guys. You can move him all over 373 00:21:54,246 --> 00:21:58,326 Speaker 1: the place. He's on the Kittle Skittles fantasy football team, 374 00:21:58,366 --> 00:22:02,926 Speaker 1: so that's really important. The defense, though for the Lions, 375 00:22:03,286 --> 00:22:06,406 Speaker 1: has actually gotten better than what it was at the 376 00:22:06,446 --> 00:22:10,326 Speaker 1: beginning of the season. So I do think this is 377 00:22:10,526 --> 00:22:14,566 Speaker 1: a game that's so big for both of them. Both 378 00:22:14,606 --> 00:22:18,606 Speaker 1: of these teams the nine seed in their respective conferences, 379 00:22:18,766 --> 00:22:20,966 Speaker 1: right on the bubble as we look ahead to the 380 00:22:20,966 --> 00:22:24,526 Speaker 1: playoff victor Oh yeah, yeah, I can't wait for that one. 381 00:22:25,606 --> 00:22:30,126 Speaker 1: The Cowboys, it seems that they can wait for OBJ 382 00:22:30,766 --> 00:22:33,446 Speaker 1: when it comes to any sort of decision on him. 383 00:22:33,446 --> 00:22:36,166 Speaker 1: They just say stand by, I say they, I mean 384 00:22:36,326 --> 00:22:40,246 Speaker 1: Jerry Jones stand by, which is a great TV term 385 00:22:40,286 --> 00:22:44,166 Speaker 1: that we use, stand by efforting. So they did sign 386 00:22:44,206 --> 00:22:47,686 Speaker 1: a wide receiver, but not OBJ. They signed t Y Hilton, 387 00:22:48,246 --> 00:22:51,886 Speaker 1: so maybe there's a chance that we see him Sunday 388 00:22:52,126 --> 00:22:56,086 Speaker 1: against the Jags. I feel bad for our colleague Jane Slater, 389 00:22:56,566 --> 00:23:03,086 Speaker 1: who has to be on standby for this. For her sake, 390 00:23:03,206 --> 00:23:07,646 Speaker 1: I hope that either way the news comes down so 391 00:23:07,726 --> 00:23:11,086 Speaker 1: that way she could be released free from having to 392 00:23:11,126 --> 00:23:15,886 Speaker 1: do any OBJ sightings or reportings. It was an interesting 393 00:23:16,046 --> 00:23:17,886 Speaker 1: I think we got caught up, right, and this is 394 00:23:17,886 --> 00:23:20,646 Speaker 1: what we were talking about a couple podcasts ago. Well, 395 00:23:20,926 --> 00:23:23,326 Speaker 1: sort of like the big Shiny Toy, Right, all of 396 00:23:23,366 --> 00:23:27,326 Speaker 1: the fanfare, all the social media interactions, OBJ courtside at 397 00:23:27,326 --> 00:23:30,366 Speaker 1: the MAVs game with the Cowboys player Jerry Jones saying 398 00:23:30,366 --> 00:23:32,446 Speaker 1: things at the conferences. At the end of the day, 399 00:23:32,766 --> 00:23:36,006 Speaker 1: this is a business decision, not a how many likes 400 00:23:36,006 --> 00:23:39,846 Speaker 1: can I get on Instagram decision? Right, So they are 401 00:23:39,886 --> 00:23:42,846 Speaker 1: going to look at every aspect of it. Obj's you know, 402 00:23:43,446 --> 00:23:46,566 Speaker 1: physical aspect of this clearly not ready. Otherwise the Cowboys 403 00:23:46,566 --> 00:23:50,486 Speaker 1: would have signed on the dotted line. Already, So they're 404 00:23:50,526 --> 00:23:52,166 Speaker 1: not going to sign somebody who's not going to be 405 00:23:52,206 --> 00:23:55,086 Speaker 1: an immediate impact. Let's be serious. This is the stretch 406 00:23:55,126 --> 00:24:22,126 Speaker 1: of the season. We're talking post now. Well, are you 407 00:24:22,486 --> 00:24:27,006 Speaker 1: a little concerned about the Jaguars and how they're coming 408 00:24:27,046 --> 00:24:31,606 Speaker 1: into this game? Giving given the struggles that the Cowboys 409 00:24:31,646 --> 00:24:36,646 Speaker 1: faced in that narrow win over the Texans and then 410 00:24:36,686 --> 00:24:40,086 Speaker 1: how they play the year before that or the week 411 00:24:40,126 --> 00:24:45,806 Speaker 1: before that against the Colts and having to explode for 412 00:24:45,846 --> 00:24:48,646 Speaker 1: over thirty points in the fourth quarter, be a little 413 00:24:48,686 --> 00:24:54,326 Speaker 1: concerned that this could be a game that they overlook 414 00:24:54,686 --> 00:24:57,086 Speaker 1: because they're looking at all. I think their trap game 415 00:24:57,126 --> 00:25:01,406 Speaker 1: was last week and the sweak out a w Yeah, 416 00:25:01,486 --> 00:25:03,246 Speaker 1: and you know, there's there's a lot to be said 417 00:25:03,286 --> 00:25:05,886 Speaker 1: about ball protection. But we were having this conversation with 418 00:25:06,006 --> 00:25:08,286 Speaker 1: Kurt Warner on Total Waxis and he's like, I'm not 419 00:25:08,806 --> 00:25:11,966 Speaker 1: that concerned about Dak throwing a couple of picks because 420 00:25:11,966 --> 00:25:14,006 Speaker 1: I need at least I know he's out there trying 421 00:25:14,006 --> 00:25:17,206 Speaker 1: to make a big play, and in his overall repertoire 422 00:25:17,286 --> 00:25:19,846 Speaker 1: of work, I know that's not who he is. So 423 00:25:20,326 --> 00:25:25,446 Speaker 1: I also believe in this No, I believe in this offense. 424 00:25:25,486 --> 00:25:28,806 Speaker 1: I believe in that Dallas defense for sure. I think 425 00:25:28,846 --> 00:25:31,486 Speaker 1: they should be able to stop. But again, at this look, 426 00:25:31,526 --> 00:25:36,006 Speaker 1: everybody's gassed. This is week fifteen. It is a long 427 00:25:36,046 --> 00:25:39,326 Speaker 1: ass season, okay, and we added an extra week last year. True, 428 00:25:39,526 --> 00:25:41,926 Speaker 1: it's it's a lot, So I think that's what you're staring. 429 00:25:42,046 --> 00:25:43,886 Speaker 1: You're starting to see from a lot of these teams. 430 00:25:43,926 --> 00:25:48,006 Speaker 1: People are getting hurt. Guys. Look, I've had players tell 431 00:25:48,046 --> 00:25:50,206 Speaker 1: me this time and time again through my years as 432 00:25:50,246 --> 00:25:55,606 Speaker 1: a reporter going into locker room availability. Nobody's okay, Like 433 00:25:55,766 --> 00:25:59,646 Speaker 1: everybody's feeling something. You're sore all the time. No amount 434 00:25:59,726 --> 00:26:04,246 Speaker 1: of hyper vault or ice baths or tiger bamb is 435 00:26:04,246 --> 00:26:07,286 Speaker 1: going to help you. At week fifteen in the NFL, Okay, 436 00:26:07,446 --> 00:26:09,766 Speaker 1: it's just too physical of a game. It's too hard 437 00:26:09,806 --> 00:26:12,526 Speaker 1: of a game for you to not feel it fifteen 438 00:26:12,566 --> 00:26:16,326 Speaker 1: weeks in. So that gives you a little contacts onto 439 00:26:16,446 --> 00:26:19,446 Speaker 1: what to what these guys go through every week getting 440 00:26:19,446 --> 00:26:22,166 Speaker 1: ready to play, especially short weeks. We got Thursday games, 441 00:26:22,166 --> 00:26:25,126 Speaker 1: we got Saturday games, we got holiday games. It's a lot, 442 00:26:25,766 --> 00:26:28,966 Speaker 1: so you start to see that wear and tear, especially 443 00:26:29,006 --> 00:26:31,886 Speaker 1: at this point in the year, right before the holidays. However, 444 00:26:32,006 --> 00:26:34,006 Speaker 1: you still got to win the games that you're quote 445 00:26:34,086 --> 00:26:37,606 Speaker 1: unquote supposed to win on the schedule. Last week they 446 00:26:37,646 --> 00:26:39,646 Speaker 1: almost dropped one. I think that was a big wake 447 00:26:39,686 --> 00:26:44,166 Speaker 1: up call for that Dallas team. I can't imagine that 448 00:26:44,166 --> 00:26:47,246 Speaker 1: they're going to go into this one low balling anybody. 449 00:26:47,326 --> 00:26:50,206 Speaker 1: So yeah, hopefully they learn their lessons. I think the 450 00:26:50,606 --> 00:26:55,286 Speaker 1: turnovers by Dak Prescott came at inopportune times, and you 451 00:26:55,326 --> 00:26:57,806 Speaker 1: can afford to do it against teams like the Colts 452 00:26:57,966 --> 00:27:01,366 Speaker 1: and the Texans and that as you get into the postseason. 453 00:27:01,646 --> 00:27:04,566 Speaker 1: So I don't know if Dak is pressing at this 454 00:27:04,566 --> 00:27:09,326 Speaker 1: point time because pass protection isn't particularly great. They are 455 00:27:09,486 --> 00:27:12,406 Speaker 1: hopefully going to have Tyrant Smith, who I mentioned before, 456 00:27:12,446 --> 00:27:16,206 Speaker 1: is a really big acquisition for them if you will, 457 00:27:16,286 --> 00:27:18,166 Speaker 1: just to have him back on that old line. They 458 00:27:18,206 --> 00:27:21,246 Speaker 1: just lost one of their old linemen out for the year, 459 00:27:21,726 --> 00:27:24,726 Speaker 1: so having him potentially back, I think it's going to 460 00:27:24,806 --> 00:27:27,766 Speaker 1: help out and keep her lying on that run game. 461 00:27:27,806 --> 00:27:32,406 Speaker 1: With Pollard and Zeke Elliott, they are running on all cylinders, 462 00:27:32,646 --> 00:27:36,166 Speaker 1: and I think is it running or clicking on all cylinders? 463 00:27:36,246 --> 00:27:38,486 Speaker 1: Either way? You know, when I'm trying to say say, 464 00:27:38,646 --> 00:27:41,806 Speaker 1: I mean it is like it is like a that's 465 00:27:42,166 --> 00:27:46,046 Speaker 1: a car that's just absolutely humming. Just just rely a 466 00:27:46,046 --> 00:27:50,246 Speaker 1: little bit more on that and we'll see that Jaguars 467 00:27:50,286 --> 00:27:53,126 Speaker 1: team's got Trevor Lawrence, who's looking like the number one 468 00:27:53,246 --> 00:27:58,806 Speaker 1: overall pick. He's over his last five games throwing ten touchdowns, 469 00:27:58,806 --> 00:28:02,566 Speaker 1: complete over seventy percent of his passes. So I don't know. 470 00:28:02,846 --> 00:28:06,286 Speaker 1: I do think the Cowboys learned something, but it's not 471 00:28:06,406 --> 00:28:09,726 Speaker 1: discount of the Jaguars. Here a lot of news today, 472 00:28:09,766 --> 00:28:13,526 Speaker 1: but also a lot of tea. Let's get into some cheesemaker, 473 00:28:17,966 --> 00:28:21,246 Speaker 1: all right, will So the Eagles and Cowboys don't play 474 00:28:21,326 --> 00:28:25,566 Speaker 1: until Christmas Eve. What a gift? What gift? Thank you? 475 00:28:26,246 --> 00:28:29,926 Speaker 1: But there's already a lot of hypport compliments of one 476 00:28:30,006 --> 00:28:33,686 Speaker 1: Micah Parsons, who went on Von Miller's podcast and questioned 477 00:28:33,766 --> 00:28:38,086 Speaker 1: Jalen hurt success, saying that it's the system and the 478 00:28:38,166 --> 00:28:41,846 Speaker 1: team not so much. Jalen now Hurts declined to go 479 00:28:41,926 --> 00:28:46,966 Speaker 1: into it, so did Nick Sirianni, but Jordan Milatta said, 480 00:28:47,006 --> 00:28:50,086 Speaker 1: we're facing the Chicago Bears, not the Chicago Micah Parsons, 481 00:28:50,446 --> 00:28:55,886 Speaker 1: that's a great response, awesome way to put it in context. 482 00:28:55,926 --> 00:28:58,366 Speaker 1: He was asked, like, you know, there's MVP chants for 483 00:28:58,606 --> 00:29:03,046 Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts like is he isn't he? Um? I don't 484 00:29:03,086 --> 00:29:06,046 Speaker 1: know that anyone who's talking about their division rival would 485 00:29:06,086 --> 00:29:08,046 Speaker 1: be like, yeah, the young maybe you know what I mean. Like, 486 00:29:09,086 --> 00:29:13,406 Speaker 1: I don't think it was him hating necessarily Mico was 487 00:29:13,846 --> 00:29:17,926 Speaker 1: maybe a little bit of shade, just a shade right 488 00:29:18,246 --> 00:29:23,126 Speaker 1: at the other team. I think, whatever offense, but do 489 00:29:23,486 --> 00:29:26,846 Speaker 1: you think he has a point there? Will or come on? 490 00:29:26,886 --> 00:29:30,446 Speaker 1: I think I say, yeah, let's get a little real 491 00:29:30,526 --> 00:29:36,526 Speaker 1: with this because Jalen Hurtz has been showing pinpoint accuracy, 492 00:29:36,886 --> 00:29:42,246 Speaker 1: ball placement, good decision making, powerful runner that's tough to 493 00:29:42,606 --> 00:29:46,086 Speaker 1: bring down. That's all been on him. He hasn't had 494 00:29:46,126 --> 00:29:49,526 Speaker 1: a bad game. Even the one loss that they had 495 00:29:49,606 --> 00:29:52,286 Speaker 1: against the Commanders, it was because he wasn't on the 496 00:29:52,326 --> 00:29:54,806 Speaker 1: field for a majority of it. So if you look 497 00:29:54,846 --> 00:29:57,846 Speaker 1: at his body of work, I think he's done a 498 00:29:57,846 --> 00:30:01,446 Speaker 1: phenomenal job where we've seen him grow as a passer 499 00:30:01,926 --> 00:30:05,606 Speaker 1: and as we've mentioned on this podcast before, he can 500 00:30:05,646 --> 00:30:07,646 Speaker 1: beat you from the pocket or he can beat you 501 00:30:07,646 --> 00:30:11,966 Speaker 1: out in the open field. And all the compliment of 502 00:30:12,046 --> 00:30:15,726 Speaker 1: weapons that he has, he's using them. Now I'll say this, 503 00:30:16,206 --> 00:30:19,686 Speaker 1: he's in a great situation. He's got guys like Davante 504 00:30:19,846 --> 00:30:24,566 Speaker 1: Smith and Dallas Goddard and A. J. Brown and Miles Sanders, etc. 505 00:30:25,326 --> 00:30:29,006 Speaker 1: A great defense as well. On the other side, that 506 00:30:29,046 --> 00:30:32,726 Speaker 1: helps out Patrick Mahomes. When he played with Kansas City 507 00:30:32,726 --> 00:30:34,926 Speaker 1: and he took over the reins from Alex Smith, he 508 00:30:34,966 --> 00:30:38,606 Speaker 1: took over a good team that definitely mattered. But you 509 00:30:38,646 --> 00:30:41,686 Speaker 1: still have to make the plays. You still have to 510 00:30:41,766 --> 00:30:47,606 Speaker 1: go out there, and we talked about it with the 511 00:30:47,646 --> 00:30:51,686 Speaker 1: situation unfolding with the Jets, you got to have accountability 512 00:30:51,726 --> 00:30:54,006 Speaker 1: and a guy who's a leader. And that's exactly what 513 00:30:54,526 --> 00:30:57,566 Speaker 1: Hurt says, of course that Michael Parson is going to 514 00:30:57,926 --> 00:31:02,166 Speaker 1: give this little jab and I love, I absolutely love 515 00:31:02,206 --> 00:31:05,366 Speaker 1: how Nick Siriani's like, Nah, we're as a training on 516 00:31:05,366 --> 00:31:08,806 Speaker 1: the Bears. Yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever. As soon as it 517 00:31:08,846 --> 00:31:11,846 Speaker 1: comes up, they're totally going to be reveling in this. 518 00:31:12,046 --> 00:31:15,206 Speaker 1: They're totally going to be talking about and saying, let's go, 519 00:31:15,286 --> 00:31:17,926 Speaker 1: let's go after Michael Parsons and let's run the ball 520 00:31:18,046 --> 00:31:21,006 Speaker 1: at him. Because remember last time these two teams face 521 00:31:21,086 --> 00:31:24,766 Speaker 1: each other, they totally neutralize Michael Parsons and they're going 522 00:31:24,846 --> 00:31:27,606 Speaker 1: to do it again. Yeah, you know what I can't 523 00:31:27,606 --> 00:31:31,726 Speaker 1: wait to see. Look, I love Michael Parsons. I think 524 00:31:31,726 --> 00:31:33,606 Speaker 1: he is one of the most talented players we have 525 00:31:33,686 --> 00:31:36,926 Speaker 1: in the league, period end of sentence. But I love 526 00:31:36,966 --> 00:31:39,126 Speaker 1: a rivalry even more just because I get to be 527 00:31:39,206 --> 00:31:44,006 Speaker 1: petty Baddy. I have been rooting for Jalen Hurts since 528 00:31:44,046 --> 00:31:47,886 Speaker 1: he entered this league when the Eagles were not doing well. 529 00:31:48,166 --> 00:31:50,046 Speaker 1: And I think one of the things that impresses me 530 00:31:50,086 --> 00:31:53,006 Speaker 1: the most off the field from Jalen Hurts, because what 531 00:31:53,046 --> 00:31:55,646 Speaker 1: he does in the field of play stands on its 532 00:31:55,646 --> 00:31:59,486 Speaker 1: own is the way that he manages the media, the 533 00:31:59,526 --> 00:32:02,046 Speaker 1: way that he's managed the criticism, the way that he leads, 534 00:32:02,686 --> 00:32:04,686 Speaker 1: and he doesn't have to say much. I mean the 535 00:32:04,886 --> 00:32:08,406 Speaker 1: beginning of the season when they were really rolling, he said, no, no, no, 536 00:32:09,246 --> 00:32:13,086 Speaker 1: people weren't talking about us when we were playing, like crap, 537 00:32:13,686 --> 00:32:16,286 Speaker 1: don't talk about us now. So I can't wait for 538 00:32:16,326 --> 00:32:18,846 Speaker 1: the interview to come up in a couple of weeks, 539 00:32:19,206 --> 00:32:21,846 Speaker 1: you know, when they win a couple more games and 540 00:32:21,966 --> 00:32:24,366 Speaker 1: for Jalen to say something like, oh no, it's the team, 541 00:32:24,406 --> 00:32:27,766 Speaker 1: it's the system's he's gonna give. You know, he's gonna 542 00:32:27,806 --> 00:32:30,806 Speaker 1: give us like a slick just one line. He's not 543 00:32:30,806 --> 00:32:32,806 Speaker 1: gonna have to explain it. We're gonna know exactly what 544 00:32:32,926 --> 00:32:34,366 Speaker 1: moment he was talking about it, and it's going to 545 00:32:34,406 --> 00:32:37,446 Speaker 1: be about that criticism. I can't wait for that. I will. 546 00:32:37,566 --> 00:32:41,086 Speaker 1: I will take no Jalen Hurt slander. He is playing 547 00:32:41,086 --> 00:32:43,526 Speaker 1: out of his mind. He is leading that team. He's 548 00:32:43,526 --> 00:32:45,406 Speaker 1: a leader of men, as we hear coaches say all 549 00:32:45,406 --> 00:32:49,246 Speaker 1: of the time, and he is a huge reason why 550 00:32:49,246 --> 00:32:51,726 Speaker 1: this team is as successful as he is. The pieces 551 00:32:51,766 --> 00:32:54,006 Speaker 1: around him have finally come together. And I love that 552 00:32:54,086 --> 00:32:56,806 Speaker 1: for him. I love that for you Philly fans. Super 553 00:32:56,846 --> 00:33:01,126 Speaker 1: happy for y'all. But give that man his flowers and 554 00:33:01,286 --> 00:33:03,646 Speaker 1: show him what he is. He is playing at MVP level. 555 00:33:03,686 --> 00:33:06,446 Speaker 1: I think ultimately in that conversation is going to come 556 00:33:06,486 --> 00:33:10,046 Speaker 1: down to him or Patrick Moult. It really is, oh, agreed, agreed. 557 00:33:10,166 --> 00:33:13,166 Speaker 1: And you can go back and forth over who's more 558 00:33:13,206 --> 00:33:17,966 Speaker 1: impactful to their team, Micah Parsons to the Cowboys or 559 00:33:18,446 --> 00:33:22,246 Speaker 1: Hurts to the Eagles, And I think right now, based 560 00:33:22,286 --> 00:33:25,406 Speaker 1: on record, based on performance and what we've seen, I 561 00:33:25,446 --> 00:33:28,846 Speaker 1: think Jalen Hurts has been way more impactful to that team. 562 00:33:29,326 --> 00:33:33,286 Speaker 1: And we see it with that run game every single week, 563 00:33:35,326 --> 00:33:39,646 Speaker 1: every single week. We're giving him his flowers and you know, Wels, 564 00:33:39,766 --> 00:33:45,206 Speaker 1: we need to give our flowers our admiration too. That 565 00:33:45,446 --> 00:33:49,526 Speaker 1: is your Poppy. We always do going best with Poppy, right, 566 00:33:49,966 --> 00:33:53,086 Speaker 1: That's a big thing. Your relationship is a big thing 567 00:33:53,086 --> 00:33:56,566 Speaker 1: with him, and I always love hearing the stories your 568 00:33:56,606 --> 00:34:02,846 Speaker 1: interactions with him. He's got something big cooking, something massive 569 00:34:03,126 --> 00:34:14,886 Speaker 1: that deserves to be celebrated. M J. Yeah, that's the way, 570 00:34:14,886 --> 00:34:18,206 Speaker 1: because there's there's no actual praguntaz with Thoppy, not yet. 571 00:34:18,246 --> 00:34:21,086 Speaker 1: On Saturday, we will be talking a lot throughout the 572 00:34:21,126 --> 00:34:23,886 Speaker 1: Dolphins and Bills game. But it's such a huge week 573 00:34:23,926 --> 00:34:26,806 Speaker 1: for my dad. I'm so proud of him. He gets 574 00:34:26,886 --> 00:34:30,806 Speaker 1: to retire today. What a career it's been for him. 575 00:34:30,846 --> 00:34:33,126 Speaker 1: I am so happy for him. He has been working 576 00:34:33,166 --> 00:34:37,726 Speaker 1: his entire life. He came from being a doctor in 577 00:34:37,766 --> 00:34:41,486 Speaker 1: the Dominican Republic, and when they immigrated to this country, 578 00:34:41,686 --> 00:34:44,286 Speaker 1: he he had to abandon all of that. It just 579 00:34:44,326 --> 00:34:47,486 Speaker 1: wasn't recognized in the US and he literally started from 580 00:34:47,486 --> 00:34:49,726 Speaker 1: the bottom. Now we hear like he had to work 581 00:34:49,766 --> 00:34:53,126 Speaker 1: his way all the way back up. He's been working 582 00:34:53,126 --> 00:34:56,446 Speaker 1: at the hospital where he's for decades now. Um in 583 00:34:56,486 --> 00:34:59,646 Speaker 1: South Florida and today they get to give him his 584 00:34:59,726 --> 00:35:04,246 Speaker 1: flowers in retirement. His first his first thing that he's doing, 585 00:35:04,286 --> 00:35:06,926 Speaker 1: and it's lying to La to spend Christmas with me. 586 00:35:07,006 --> 00:35:09,366 Speaker 1: He and my mom are coming. Um. Obviously, we as 587 00:35:09,406 --> 00:35:12,646 Speaker 1: you know, will with holidays don't really exist in the 588 00:35:12,686 --> 00:35:16,406 Speaker 1: football world. We're in it. There's games on Christmas, even 589 00:35:16,406 --> 00:35:19,406 Speaker 1: on Christmas literally, UM, so I can't go anywhere. So 590 00:35:19,446 --> 00:35:21,486 Speaker 1: they're coming to see me, which like is so on 591 00:35:22,406 --> 00:35:25,606 Speaker 1: for my parents, especially my dad. So I might have 592 00:35:25,726 --> 00:35:30,006 Speaker 1: a live boy in a couple of weeks, but I 593 00:35:30,046 --> 00:35:32,686 Speaker 1: think just the you know, people ask me all the 594 00:35:32,726 --> 00:35:34,766 Speaker 1: time like where do you get your work ethic from? 595 00:35:34,766 --> 00:35:36,886 Speaker 1: And where do you where do you get that drive 596 00:35:36,966 --> 00:35:39,446 Speaker 1: to just continue on? And it's one hundred percent from 597 00:35:39,486 --> 00:35:42,326 Speaker 1: my parents, from both my mom and my dad. But um, 598 00:35:45,606 --> 00:35:49,366 Speaker 1: here in the States for over thirty years, um, but 599 00:35:49,486 --> 00:35:52,406 Speaker 1: independent Republic, he was already working. He started off as 600 00:35:52,566 --> 00:35:56,366 Speaker 1: um as an ob gyn um and ended up being 601 00:35:56,406 --> 00:36:00,286 Speaker 1: a medical examiner UM there as well. And you know, 602 00:36:00,366 --> 00:36:03,206 Speaker 1: when he came to the US, he was literally like 603 00:36:03,846 --> 00:36:06,126 Speaker 1: cleaning floors, you know what I mean, a bandon. This 604 00:36:06,246 --> 00:36:07,686 Speaker 1: is a man with a medical degree who had a 605 00:36:07,766 --> 00:36:11,966 Speaker 1: practice and He did that for myself and for my siblings, 606 00:36:12,006 --> 00:36:14,846 Speaker 1: and for the growth of our family, and you know, 607 00:36:15,046 --> 00:36:18,406 Speaker 1: for a chance at us to build something bigger than 608 00:36:18,486 --> 00:36:21,366 Speaker 1: what he knew to be true his whole life. Um. 609 00:36:21,486 --> 00:36:25,326 Speaker 1: So I'm indebted to my parents forever, and so I 610 00:36:25,606 --> 00:36:29,526 Speaker 1: could not be happier that it was his retirement day. 611 00:36:29,686 --> 00:36:31,526 Speaker 1: You know, Like now he gets to kick up, he 612 00:36:31,646 --> 00:36:33,726 Speaker 1: gets to go to as many games as he wants, 613 00:36:33,766 --> 00:36:35,566 Speaker 1: he gets to come visit me as often as he wants. 614 00:36:35,606 --> 00:36:37,526 Speaker 1: He's trying to convince my mom to retire, but she's 615 00:36:37,566 --> 00:36:40,806 Speaker 1: not there yet. She doesn't want to. She loves to 616 00:36:40,846 --> 00:36:42,766 Speaker 1: go to the to work. She likes sakiki with her 617 00:36:42,886 --> 00:36:45,646 Speaker 1: with her co workers. You know, she likes a routine. Um. 618 00:36:45,726 --> 00:36:47,286 Speaker 1: But I think once he makes a couple of chips 619 00:36:47,286 --> 00:36:49,406 Speaker 1: to La or maybe back to the Medican Republic, she's 620 00:36:49,406 --> 00:36:52,246 Speaker 1: going to have to accelerate that that plan. She's gonna 621 00:36:52,246 --> 00:36:54,766 Speaker 1: get foma. Um. But it's a big deal. It's a 622 00:36:54,846 --> 00:36:57,806 Speaker 1: big deal for somebody who came came to this country 623 00:36:57,806 --> 00:37:01,206 Speaker 1: in their thirties to literally have to start over again 624 00:37:01,486 --> 00:37:04,006 Speaker 1: when you have a family to feed, um, and to 625 00:37:04,086 --> 00:37:07,606 Speaker 1: get to a point where you get to retire he's 626 00:37:07,646 --> 00:37:10,566 Speaker 1: earned every single bit of that, and I know we 627 00:37:10,686 --> 00:37:13,926 Speaker 1: have a common thread in that space as well. Well, yeah, 628 00:37:14,046 --> 00:37:16,446 Speaker 1: your dad was also a doctor, which say, yes he was, 629 00:37:17,006 --> 00:37:21,806 Speaker 1: and much like your dad, he was a doctor in Nicaragua, 630 00:37:22,566 --> 00:37:26,206 Speaker 1: and then when he immigrated to this country, he wasn't 631 00:37:26,366 --> 00:37:29,686 Speaker 1: orderly as well, had to start at the bottom, and 632 00:37:29,846 --> 00:37:31,926 Speaker 1: then there was the language barrier, so we had to 633 00:37:32,046 --> 00:37:36,406 Speaker 1: learn English right and then try to take the boards, 634 00:37:36,726 --> 00:37:40,206 Speaker 1: and the medical boards were really hard, but especially hard 635 00:37:40,726 --> 00:37:45,846 Speaker 1: not knowing the language. And there was a time when 636 00:37:46,046 --> 00:37:49,086 Speaker 1: my mom thought, maybe we need to move to a 637 00:37:49,206 --> 00:37:53,486 Speaker 1: different state where maybe the medical board is easier to pass, 638 00:37:54,126 --> 00:37:57,886 Speaker 1: but they stuck with it. My dad after a long time. 639 00:37:58,006 --> 00:38:01,246 Speaker 1: It took him some years, but finally passed the board 640 00:38:01,446 --> 00:38:05,046 Speaker 1: and then he became the first Latino doctor or in 641 00:38:05,166 --> 00:38:09,566 Speaker 1: the Mission District, which is the largest concentration of Latinos 642 00:38:09,606 --> 00:38:15,086 Speaker 1: there in San Francisco. And my father was doing house 643 00:38:15,166 --> 00:38:18,166 Speaker 1: calls at eighty years old, and I remember driving him 644 00:38:18,286 --> 00:38:24,606 Speaker 1: around and seeing how he was treated by these elderly 645 00:38:24,806 --> 00:38:29,566 Speaker 1: women who would just give him the business and just 646 00:38:29,846 --> 00:38:35,326 Speaker 1: be so rude and to the point where they just 647 00:38:35,526 --> 00:38:38,126 Speaker 1: didn't appreciate him, and he just would have this calm 648 00:38:38,726 --> 00:38:48,526 Speaker 1: way with them. Na. Yeah, yeah, and yes, the bedside 649 00:38:48,606 --> 00:38:52,446 Speaker 1: manner was everything and he had it. And you know 650 00:38:52,526 --> 00:38:55,726 Speaker 1: what else he had during Christmas was all the gifts. 651 00:38:56,406 --> 00:39:00,766 Speaker 1: Even myself being the youngest, all these patients would shower 652 00:39:00,846 --> 00:39:03,646 Speaker 1: him with gifts. You know, it didn't matter. It was 653 00:39:03,966 --> 00:39:07,966 Speaker 1: booze ties, all of it, all sources of stuff. And 654 00:39:09,046 --> 00:39:13,446 Speaker 1: to your point about your dad and your mom, and 655 00:39:13,606 --> 00:39:16,446 Speaker 1: my mom falls in that same category. Was coming to 656 00:39:16,526 --> 00:39:21,166 Speaker 1: this country, learning a new language, the work ethic, sticking 657 00:39:21,286 --> 00:39:25,446 Speaker 1: with it, not giving up, not making excuses, and just 658 00:39:25,806 --> 00:39:29,806 Speaker 1: going for it. And that's why I admire your dad 659 00:39:30,006 --> 00:39:32,806 Speaker 1: so much. Reminds me so much of my dad, and 660 00:39:34,286 --> 00:39:36,726 Speaker 1: and just with your mom and my mom so many 661 00:39:36,806 --> 00:39:40,406 Speaker 1: commonalities that I didn't even realize that about your dad. 662 00:39:40,806 --> 00:39:43,286 Speaker 1: So we're learning about each other. Yeah. You may not 663 00:39:43,606 --> 00:39:48,006 Speaker 1: like The Grinch Christmas Mary, you well, if you mentioned them, 664 00:39:48,086 --> 00:39:51,046 Speaker 1: you better leave that movie all. But no, it is 665 00:39:51,246 --> 00:39:53,526 Speaker 1: it is important to share these stories, right because they 666 00:39:53,606 --> 00:39:56,166 Speaker 1: are what binds us. Like. It was the same thing 667 00:39:56,246 --> 00:39:58,766 Speaker 1: for my father, like coming here not speaking the language 668 00:39:58,766 --> 00:40:02,446 Speaker 1: at all. When he was practicing medicine in the demanding Republic, 669 00:40:02,526 --> 00:40:05,526 Speaker 1: he was working in some of the most impover areas 670 00:40:05,566 --> 00:40:09,686 Speaker 1: where there were very little medical supplies even space for 671 00:40:09,806 --> 00:40:11,406 Speaker 1: him to be able to do this. But he did 672 00:40:11,486 --> 00:40:13,286 Speaker 1: it because he loved it and he wanted to help 673 00:40:13,366 --> 00:40:16,046 Speaker 1: people who otherwise would not have the resources. So then 674 00:40:16,126 --> 00:40:21,046 Speaker 1: coming to the US and experiencing that for himself was what. 675 00:40:21,166 --> 00:40:25,606 Speaker 1: I can't imagine the moment where he realized, like, okay, 676 00:40:25,646 --> 00:40:28,206 Speaker 1: I'm here with my life with my daughter, like how 677 00:40:28,646 --> 00:40:31,486 Speaker 1: do I provide for them? So he too, just like 678 00:40:31,606 --> 00:40:34,326 Speaker 1: your dad, had to relearn the language. He never got 679 00:40:34,366 --> 00:40:36,486 Speaker 1: to the point where he was able to retake the 680 00:40:36,566 --> 00:40:39,286 Speaker 1: medical boards, so he wasn't able to practice like that 681 00:40:39,406 --> 00:40:42,366 Speaker 1: again and be a practicing doctor again. But you know, 682 00:40:42,846 --> 00:40:46,926 Speaker 1: you can't tell me that's not right. Like that's who 683 00:40:47,006 --> 00:40:50,566 Speaker 1: he was. That's who my grandpa was as well. Always, 684 00:40:50,566 --> 00:40:52,446 Speaker 1: so he has like his lab coat now he works 685 00:40:52,486 --> 00:40:54,486 Speaker 1: on the lab side of it and in phlebotomy and 686 00:40:54,566 --> 00:40:57,646 Speaker 1: his theology, and he just loves medicine, like he still 687 00:40:57,686 --> 00:41:01,046 Speaker 1: reads medical journals and articles and he more than that 688 00:41:01,406 --> 00:41:03,966 Speaker 1: to the point of you know, I almost like saw 689 00:41:04,046 --> 00:41:06,606 Speaker 1: my dad reflected in that story of the older women 690 00:41:06,686 --> 00:41:11,046 Speaker 1: giving your your dad gifts. Um, it was about helping people, right, 691 00:41:11,246 --> 00:41:15,126 Speaker 1: helping our communities specifically, and that goes a really really 692 00:41:15,206 --> 00:41:17,326 Speaker 1: long way. So I'm proud of us. This is the 693 00:41:17,446 --> 00:41:20,526 Speaker 1: legacy that our dads, um you know, have have instilled 694 00:41:20,526 --> 00:41:22,526 Speaker 1: in us, and it's a really proud moment for sure. 695 00:41:44,646 --> 00:41:48,286 Speaker 1: There's always a few games, a few matchups actually that 696 00:41:48,566 --> 00:41:52,806 Speaker 1: peak our interest. Well, let's get into buy yourselva, ladies 697 00:41:52,846 --> 00:42:00,566 Speaker 1: and gentlemen, it's time or buy or selva. Let's start 698 00:42:00,646 --> 00:42:03,926 Speaker 1: with Titans at Chargers. That's four twenty five and CBS 699 00:42:04,366 --> 00:42:09,406 Speaker 1: the tight will lose their fourth straight game. Out buy 700 00:42:09,526 --> 00:42:13,166 Speaker 1: or selva on that. This is a hard one because 701 00:42:13,486 --> 00:42:16,366 Speaker 1: I don't want to bet against Mike Vrabel and his 702 00:42:16,606 --> 00:42:23,646 Speaker 1: coaching and his staff. So I am going to buy 703 00:42:23,806 --> 00:42:27,326 Speaker 1: that they are going to lose their fourth straight game. Now, 704 00:42:27,406 --> 00:42:30,286 Speaker 1: I do believe that Derrick Henry is going to get 705 00:42:30,406 --> 00:42:34,286 Speaker 1: his yards because the run defense for the Chargers is porous. 706 00:42:34,886 --> 00:42:38,446 Speaker 1: I do think though, a problem area for the Titans 707 00:42:39,166 --> 00:42:43,046 Speaker 1: is that secondary in particular, those young cornerbacks were smaller 708 00:42:43,086 --> 00:42:46,206 Speaker 1: in stature, so I think that is going to allow 709 00:42:46,366 --> 00:42:49,926 Speaker 1: guys like Keenan Allen Mike Williams to get after it 710 00:42:49,926 --> 00:42:53,726 Speaker 1: and put up some big numbers. I think that right now, 711 00:42:53,886 --> 00:42:57,686 Speaker 1: they are backsliding big time, and I think the Titans 712 00:42:57,846 --> 00:43:03,246 Speaker 1: are going to end up losing their fourth straight game. 713 00:43:03,766 --> 00:43:07,166 Speaker 1: So I'm buying on this. MJ. You know what, that's 714 00:43:07,246 --> 00:43:10,406 Speaker 1: not that dissimilar from what I saw when I looked 715 00:43:10,446 --> 00:43:13,926 Speaker 1: at this matchup. I think the Chargers definitely rolland feeling themselves. 716 00:43:14,006 --> 00:43:16,366 Speaker 1: A healthy Mike Williams, who we'll talk about in a bit, 717 00:43:16,686 --> 00:43:19,566 Speaker 1: healthy Keenan Allen Man. What a difference that has made. 718 00:43:19,686 --> 00:43:23,326 Speaker 1: All right, let's go to the NFC East. They've given 719 00:43:23,406 --> 00:43:25,446 Speaker 1: us so much to talk about this year. We've got 720 00:43:25,526 --> 00:43:29,806 Speaker 1: Giants at Commanders under the Lights Sunday Night Football. Buy 721 00:43:29,926 --> 00:43:34,206 Speaker 1: or Selva. The Giants will take control of the wildcard race. 722 00:43:36,446 --> 00:43:39,606 Speaker 1: This one is an easy one for me. I'm going 723 00:43:39,726 --> 00:43:44,606 Speaker 1: to say Selva on this only because I believe that 724 00:43:45,246 --> 00:43:48,486 Speaker 1: the Commanders are the more talented team. They have a 725 00:43:48,606 --> 00:43:53,846 Speaker 1: better roster, They're more physical, they have a great running game. 726 00:43:54,006 --> 00:43:57,886 Speaker 1: Nice one to punch there with Brian Robinson and Antonio Gibson. 727 00:43:58,366 --> 00:44:01,126 Speaker 1: I think they've got a guy that we have mentioned before, 728 00:44:01,286 --> 00:44:04,006 Speaker 1: I think as a bet Romacho, and if not, we'll 729 00:44:04,046 --> 00:44:06,726 Speaker 1: need to at some point time. Taylor Heineke. I think 730 00:44:06,806 --> 00:44:12,406 Speaker 1: they are embodying his personality here. And I think for 731 00:44:12,766 --> 00:44:15,726 Speaker 1: the Giants the way that they've looked, especially over the 732 00:44:15,846 --> 00:44:19,206 Speaker 1: last few games, they just have not been able to 733 00:44:19,286 --> 00:44:22,926 Speaker 1: find their footing. I think finally those injuries have cut 734 00:44:23,046 --> 00:44:26,006 Speaker 1: up to them. They don't have any weapons to throw to. 735 00:44:26,286 --> 00:44:29,766 Speaker 1: For Daniel Jones, I think the focus is going to 736 00:44:29,886 --> 00:44:34,886 Speaker 1: be solely solely on say Quon Barkley, who, by the way, 737 00:44:35,046 --> 00:44:39,886 Speaker 1: over the last four games is averaging over thirty yards 738 00:44:39,966 --> 00:44:42,606 Speaker 1: a game, and that's not going to cut it. And 739 00:44:42,806 --> 00:44:46,526 Speaker 1: I think that their time is run out here, and 740 00:44:46,646 --> 00:44:51,486 Speaker 1: I think the defense for Washington is getting after it 741 00:44:51,846 --> 00:44:57,286 Speaker 1: that d line with Pain and Sweat, that alone should 742 00:44:57,366 --> 00:45:01,326 Speaker 1: just make you concerned if you're Daniel Jones, if you 743 00:45:01,406 --> 00:45:04,606 Speaker 1: have a guy like Sweat and Pain coming after you, soul. 744 00:45:05,566 --> 00:45:09,486 Speaker 1: I think that with Heineck there, who's leading the way 745 00:45:09,766 --> 00:45:12,406 Speaker 1: by the way five one and one as a starter, 746 00:45:12,646 --> 00:45:17,086 Speaker 1: only Jalen Hurtz has a higher QB win percentage. And 747 00:45:17,206 --> 00:45:20,806 Speaker 1: then also consider this from Heineke. Heineke is one of 748 00:45:20,966 --> 00:45:25,766 Speaker 1: two Washington quarterbacks with a winning record since two thousand, 749 00:45:26,686 --> 00:45:32,126 Speaker 1: So trust, yes in Heinewe. Trust he's trying to pick 750 00:45:32,246 --> 00:45:36,246 Speaker 1: up more Jordan once and oh my god, he's earning 751 00:45:36,406 --> 00:45:39,006 Speaker 1: m I want to know when he's going to wear 752 00:45:39,086 --> 00:45:43,086 Speaker 1: these again, right, like he's probably not, probably just collects them, 753 00:45:43,326 --> 00:45:46,886 Speaker 1: big old stack at Jordan once. You gotta have four 754 00:45:46,886 --> 00:45:52,646 Speaker 1: a month. I would love that, jet Man. If you're listening, um, 755 00:45:52,886 --> 00:45:55,486 Speaker 1: you you touched on it just a bit. You said 756 00:45:55,526 --> 00:46:04,646 Speaker 1: the words Barrol Macho. So let's get into it. Who 757 00:46:04,926 --> 00:46:08,006 Speaker 1: is it this week? Well, who's your Barromacho? Okay? So 758 00:46:08,606 --> 00:46:14,446 Speaker 1: my Promacho is Patriots lambacker Josh Uch. I just love 759 00:46:14,566 --> 00:46:17,726 Speaker 1: saying his name and I love to watch him play. 760 00:46:18,406 --> 00:46:22,726 Speaker 1: He's recorded all ten of his sacks since Week eight, 761 00:46:23,166 --> 00:46:26,246 Speaker 1: which is the most in the NFL in that span. 762 00:46:26,846 --> 00:46:30,926 Speaker 1: This man deserves to be highlighted. This man deserves attention. 763 00:46:31,606 --> 00:46:37,566 Speaker 1: Wucha and Matthew Judeon, who is a Perromacho alumnus. They 764 00:46:37,606 --> 00:46:40,646 Speaker 1: have combined for twenty four and a half sacks, the 765 00:46:40,846 --> 00:46:44,806 Speaker 1: most by a teammate duo and Uch and the Patriots 766 00:46:44,886 --> 00:46:48,766 Speaker 1: will be playing the Raiders Sunday in Vegas, and I 767 00:46:48,886 --> 00:46:53,926 Speaker 1: think Derek Carr watch out because here comes here comes 768 00:46:55,926 --> 00:46:59,966 Speaker 1: Judean Baron down on you and that's one leaves. Yeah, 769 00:47:00,326 --> 00:47:04,286 Speaker 1: this Patriots defense certainly has been doing their part because 770 00:47:04,326 --> 00:47:09,166 Speaker 1: the offense has not. I all I think. All I 771 00:47:09,326 --> 00:47:13,046 Speaker 1: think of now with Mac Jones is him doing his 772 00:47:13,286 --> 00:47:18,046 Speaker 1: SloMo uh you know, not F bombs. Well, I guess 773 00:47:18,086 --> 00:47:20,046 Speaker 1: he's done some slow f bombs, you know me. I'm 774 00:47:20,086 --> 00:47:24,686 Speaker 1: big into the SloMo f bombs from Aaron Rodgers game. 775 00:47:25,366 --> 00:47:29,686 Speaker 1: Mac now does it and it's not good, you know, 776 00:47:29,806 --> 00:47:34,166 Speaker 1: probably because they're running too many damn screens. So I'm 777 00:47:34,286 --> 00:47:37,126 Speaker 1: right there with them. They need to to be creative 778 00:47:37,206 --> 00:47:39,726 Speaker 1: with their offense. Don't know if they're ever going to 779 00:47:39,846 --> 00:47:42,646 Speaker 1: do that, but I do know that you've got some 780 00:47:42,806 --> 00:47:46,966 Speaker 1: betro MACHOs on that other side for the defense. Wait, 781 00:47:47,046 --> 00:47:50,206 Speaker 1: but we've got a two fer. We've got a twofer 782 00:47:50,366 --> 00:47:53,966 Speaker 1: more defensive love who also is a petromatch This week 783 00:47:54,966 --> 00:48:00,006 Speaker 1: Bengals defensive tackle DJ Reader, and I love Reader even 784 00:48:00,366 --> 00:48:05,646 Speaker 1: more than I did before. Here's why Reader pair tackling 785 00:48:05,766 --> 00:48:08,926 Speaker 1: Nick Chubb to wrestling with his three year old son. 786 00:48:10,606 --> 00:48:14,806 Speaker 1: I can attest to this because I've tried wrestling my son. 787 00:48:15,766 --> 00:48:21,486 Speaker 1: His head is a weapon and literally can thump you 788 00:48:21,766 --> 00:48:26,966 Speaker 1: right in your chest and Leivia literally like Mike White 789 00:48:27,006 --> 00:48:31,526 Speaker 1: after being hit by Milano. You're still in it's like 790 00:48:31,686 --> 00:48:36,446 Speaker 1: six hundred pounds. This was a diss, yes, yes, but 791 00:48:36,606 --> 00:48:40,246 Speaker 1: consider this though, DJ Readers a very big man. He 792 00:48:40,486 --> 00:48:45,566 Speaker 1: is something like three hundred forty five pounds of man, 793 00:48:46,366 --> 00:48:50,526 Speaker 1: and he helped to stop Chubb and he only had 794 00:48:50,606 --> 00:48:53,366 Speaker 1: something like thirty four yards rushing and Readers said, he 795 00:48:53,526 --> 00:48:57,686 Speaker 1: thinks he's going to run over me and that's not happening. 796 00:48:58,206 --> 00:49:02,846 Speaker 1: So imagine direct quote, So imagine what he's gonna do 797 00:49:03,286 --> 00:49:08,526 Speaker 1: to Leonard Fournette and Rashad White this Sunday bias when 798 00:49:08,566 --> 00:49:13,286 Speaker 1: you see the reader coming through. Okay, MJ. So so 799 00:49:13,566 --> 00:49:17,926 Speaker 1: far on this podcast, you and I have disagreed about 800 00:49:17,966 --> 00:49:24,406 Speaker 1: the Grinch Christmas movie. We also have have dropped swear 801 00:49:24,486 --> 00:49:28,726 Speaker 1: words as well. So I feel like we're really you know, 802 00:49:28,766 --> 00:49:36,406 Speaker 1: we're really yeah. Yeah. This is a week where we 803 00:49:36,526 --> 00:49:39,686 Speaker 1: are just going for it. We are absolutely going for it. 804 00:49:39,966 --> 00:49:43,326 Speaker 1: We have unraveled at this book. I feel like we 805 00:49:43,526 --> 00:49:48,766 Speaker 1: have the power, not just any power, power, plat no power. 806 00:49:55,766 --> 00:49:58,606 Speaker 1: One guy who really stood out to me definitely had 807 00:49:58,726 --> 00:50:02,646 Speaker 1: some tostones maybe before the game. And look, I'll say this, 808 00:50:03,406 --> 00:50:07,886 Speaker 1: I may be petty, but I recognize game always and 809 00:50:07,966 --> 00:50:12,086 Speaker 1: I give credit where credit is due and watching Mike 810 00:50:12,206 --> 00:50:17,086 Speaker 1: Williams in person on Sunday at Sofi Stadium was really 811 00:50:17,166 --> 00:50:19,926 Speaker 1: cool to see. I mean, I remember interviewing Mike Williams 812 00:50:19,966 --> 00:50:22,126 Speaker 1: when he first got in the league, when the Chargers 813 00:50:22,206 --> 00:50:24,686 Speaker 1: drafted him. On Sunday he put up one hundred and 814 00:50:24,806 --> 00:50:28,326 Speaker 1: sixteen yards and a tug. That is a big boy. 815 00:50:28,446 --> 00:50:30,566 Speaker 1: If you guys have never stood next to Mike Williams, 816 00:50:30,646 --> 00:50:34,846 Speaker 1: can confirm he's gigantic, very hard to cover. Clearly one 817 00:50:34,926 --> 00:50:39,046 Speaker 1: hundred and sixty yards just off a six receptions. When 818 00:50:39,086 --> 00:50:44,006 Speaker 1: he's healthy, He's unstoppable. He truly is. He is such 819 00:50:44,046 --> 00:50:46,606 Speaker 1: a force. When he can really go out there and 820 00:50:46,686 --> 00:50:48,366 Speaker 1: be part of that offense, you could see it. It 821 00:50:48,446 --> 00:50:50,326 Speaker 1: made a huge difference for just in her but as 822 00:50:50,326 --> 00:50:52,566 Speaker 1: well as soon as he got back into the into 823 00:50:52,606 --> 00:50:56,606 Speaker 1: the mix of things. So Mike Williams was definitely out there. 824 00:50:57,366 --> 00:51:01,926 Speaker 1: I like to confiscate his bats before he plays my 825 00:51:02,086 --> 00:51:05,326 Speaker 1: Dolphins next time. I'll keep that in mind, make sure 826 00:51:05,326 --> 00:51:07,326 Speaker 1: I buy them all from the local Ralphs here in 827 00:51:07,446 --> 00:51:11,126 Speaker 1: Los Angeles. But yeah, he bawled out and rightfully, so 828 00:51:11,326 --> 00:51:14,966 Speaker 1: he's man man, he's good. Yeah, no good thing that 829 00:51:15,166 --> 00:51:18,806 Speaker 1: he is not in the Dolphins division. That's for sure, 830 00:51:19,046 --> 00:51:24,086 Speaker 1: good grief. And consider this, given the injuries that the 831 00:51:24,286 --> 00:51:28,966 Speaker 1: Chargers have suffered, the fact that they're still seven and six, yeah, 832 00:51:29,046 --> 00:51:32,606 Speaker 1: and they're still chugging along. They should be much better 833 00:51:32,686 --> 00:51:35,406 Speaker 1: than that. As we know, thought they were going to 834 00:51:35,566 --> 00:51:39,166 Speaker 1: completely take over that that division and that they were 835 00:51:39,206 --> 00:51:41,206 Speaker 1: going to be a force this year. But I hate 836 00:51:41,246 --> 00:51:46,446 Speaker 1: to say it, but the Chargers tend to charger. I 837 00:51:46,646 --> 00:51:49,206 Speaker 1: just want it to be that way. They're too talented. Yeah, 838 00:51:49,486 --> 00:51:52,086 Speaker 1: they're way too talented. And I think with Herbert and 839 00:51:52,206 --> 00:51:54,606 Speaker 1: I said this last week, get him out on the run. 840 00:51:55,206 --> 00:51:56,846 Speaker 1: Get him out on the run so it can make 841 00:51:56,926 --> 00:52:01,646 Speaker 1: some throws to Mike Williams, because that is just any 842 00:52:01,726 --> 00:52:03,886 Speaker 1: way to just be a little bit more inventive and 843 00:52:04,006 --> 00:52:07,726 Speaker 1: take advantage of his talent. So I think Mike Williams 844 00:52:08,286 --> 00:52:12,566 Speaker 1: great call for Blatano power. Now, as we transition in 845 00:52:12,606 --> 00:52:15,366 Speaker 1: our final moments here at the end of this podcast, 846 00:52:15,526 --> 00:52:18,246 Speaker 1: we have covered a lot here. I'm going to get 847 00:52:18,286 --> 00:52:23,726 Speaker 1: to Ibunto first if I may, And well, we were 848 00:52:23,766 --> 00:52:25,726 Speaker 1: just talking about the Chargers. Let's talk about the other 849 00:52:26,006 --> 00:52:30,366 Speaker 1: LA team, in particular the Rams and Baker Mayfield. Baker 850 00:52:30,446 --> 00:52:35,606 Speaker 1: Mayfield was only with the team for barely a day, 851 00:52:36,246 --> 00:52:40,206 Speaker 1: learned the playbook and led a game winning drive. We 852 00:52:40,366 --> 00:52:45,606 Speaker 1: have seen Jeff's Saturday come out of the studio and 853 00:52:45,806 --> 00:52:50,766 Speaker 1: onto the sideline and then win a game. I know 854 00:52:50,846 --> 00:52:53,766 Speaker 1: it's against the Raiders too, so sorry Raider fans, but 855 00:52:54,446 --> 00:53:01,126 Speaker 1: my point is that with Baker Mayfield, to be able 856 00:53:01,206 --> 00:53:04,766 Speaker 1: to do that said something about his spirit about coming back. 857 00:53:05,006 --> 00:53:08,526 Speaker 1: And we've seen some great comeback stories this year with 858 00:53:08,726 --> 00:53:13,326 Speaker 1: Jared Goff, Gino Smith and then now potentially maybe even 859 00:53:13,406 --> 00:53:19,406 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield who's setting himself up for one more contract 860 00:53:19,526 --> 00:53:21,926 Speaker 1: for another team to play for. Maybe it's the Rams 861 00:53:22,686 --> 00:53:25,886 Speaker 1: and who knows, But either way, I'm just going to say, 862 00:53:26,006 --> 00:53:29,486 Speaker 1: I punto if you are out there, and again I 863 00:53:29,566 --> 00:53:33,086 Speaker 1: think I said it last week, don't count yourself out. 864 00:53:33,366 --> 00:53:35,646 Speaker 1: I know Baker Mayfield has been counted out many times. 865 00:53:35,766 --> 00:53:40,166 Speaker 1: He has not played well objectively, has played poorly, but 866 00:53:40,446 --> 00:53:43,126 Speaker 1: he was able to do what he did, came up 867 00:53:43,166 --> 00:53:46,846 Speaker 1: the sideline, came off the plane, and was able to 868 00:53:47,006 --> 00:53:50,646 Speaker 1: lead a game winning drive. So that's my I punto there. 869 00:53:51,326 --> 00:53:52,966 Speaker 1: That's a fair one. That's a good one. You gotta get. 870 00:53:53,006 --> 00:53:56,126 Speaker 1: You gotta give people their flowers when it's two. I 871 00:53:56,166 --> 00:53:58,646 Speaker 1: think my punto is a little bit more up touse. 872 00:53:59,126 --> 00:54:01,446 Speaker 1: You know, we mentioned a little earlier in the podcast 873 00:54:01,486 --> 00:54:05,646 Speaker 1: than week fifteen, people are players are certainly feeling run down. 874 00:54:06,606 --> 00:54:09,286 Speaker 1: It's just that time of the year where where things 875 00:54:09,326 --> 00:54:12,406 Speaker 1: are hectic, but for some things are slowing down as well. 876 00:54:12,846 --> 00:54:16,326 Speaker 1: I would love for everyone to just take a moment. 877 00:54:16,446 --> 00:54:18,966 Speaker 1: You know, we have a triple header on NFL Network 878 00:54:19,046 --> 00:54:22,406 Speaker 1: this weekend. What a time if you can take out 879 00:54:22,446 --> 00:54:24,686 Speaker 1: and just sit with your family, with your loved ones, 880 00:54:24,766 --> 00:54:27,286 Speaker 1: whatever your family looks like, and take in the game 881 00:54:27,326 --> 00:54:31,006 Speaker 1: and be present in the moment. Wrap some gifts, just 882 00:54:31,166 --> 00:54:34,126 Speaker 1: have some good food or just be there in silence 883 00:54:34,206 --> 00:54:39,606 Speaker 1: with one another. But I think being present, being available 884 00:54:39,686 --> 00:54:42,166 Speaker 1: from one another, checking in on one another is so important, 885 00:54:42,486 --> 00:54:45,046 Speaker 1: especially this time of the year. It's not just the 886 00:54:45,166 --> 00:54:47,686 Speaker 1: physical ailments right as we talk about the players sort 887 00:54:47,686 --> 00:54:50,086 Speaker 1: of getting worn down, but all of us need to 888 00:54:50,206 --> 00:54:52,166 Speaker 1: check in on one another. And what a great way 889 00:54:52,206 --> 00:54:54,006 Speaker 1: to do so. If you're a football fan and you're 890 00:54:54,006 --> 00:54:57,326 Speaker 1: listening to this, you got a full Saturday of NFL football. 891 00:54:57,646 --> 00:54:59,566 Speaker 1: I think it's great. It's a gift to us all. 892 00:54:59,966 --> 00:55:02,566 Speaker 1: But the gift of time is the bigger gift there. 893 00:55:02,646 --> 00:55:06,086 Speaker 1: So enjoy your loved ones, listen to the podcast with 894 00:55:06,166 --> 00:55:08,886 Speaker 1: your friends and family too, and familia as we like 895 00:55:09,006 --> 00:55:12,006 Speaker 1: to say, so Um, it's a beautiful time, but it 896 00:55:12,046 --> 00:55:13,686 Speaker 1: can also be a tough time to some folks.
