1 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:11,879 Speaker 1: This is straight Fire with Jason McIntyre. What is up? 2 00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:17,840 Speaker 1: Straight Fire? Fam? It's me Jason McIntyre, Straight Fire for Tuesday, 3 00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:23,960 Speaker 1: December twenty one, and oh my goodness, so listen, everybody's 4 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,160 Speaker 1: gonna have the same take today on the two NFL 5 00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:29,240 Speaker 1: games from under football. I'm more excited for tonight's game 6 00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:31,840 Speaker 1: because obviously I'm heavily invested in the Eagles in that 7 00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:35,840 Speaker 1: survivor league where eighty two thousand maybe on the line. Um, 8 00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:37,720 Speaker 1: but we'll get to the Eagles in the best bet later. 9 00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:40,320 Speaker 1: Browns did not get me to the window, and the 10 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:44,080 Speaker 1: contest had them at plus one vikings. Did I feel 11 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,760 Speaker 1: bad for anybody who had the Bears plus seven. I 12 00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,120 Speaker 1: had a buddy text me, I can't believe bleep, bleep, 13 00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:51,760 Speaker 1: bleep bleep extra point Um, they didn't even kick it. 14 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 1: Bear score at the horn and the announcer goes, it 15 00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:58,320 Speaker 1: doesn't matter, Actually it did? Uh the spread with seven? 16 00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:00,080 Speaker 1: I forget the you know what? Rob you what the 17 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:05,400 Speaker 1: guy's name? Who's the MNF announcer, Steve something Leavy? I 18 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:07,080 Speaker 1: remember he was like a sports center guy and all 19 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,280 Speaker 1: of a sudden he's calling Monday Night football. How did 20 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 1: I miss that. He's got a great agent. I mean 21 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 1: he must he skipped like I mean he got the 22 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:19,080 Speaker 1: elevator right to the penthouse. My gosh. Anyway, Steve Leavy, 23 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 1: gambling matters, and you missed that one. But I think 24 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 1: everybody's going to have the same take on the games. 25 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 1: Oh they were awful. They stunk. You know what My 26 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:31,840 Speaker 1: takeaway was, I absolutely loved back to back games a 27 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 1: Monday night football in December. It was this Instantly, I'm like, 28 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,840 Speaker 1: wait a minute, why on earth isn't this a normal 29 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 1: thing in December? Like, you know, I got home from work. 30 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 1: When did the Fox Gambling show with Cowward get home 31 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 1: and out here? I think the game kicked off at 32 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 1: two o'clock in the afternoon, so it's like, I'll watch 33 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 1: a quarter obviously it's not a great game. Then I 34 00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 1: put it on TV to play a quick game of FIFA, 35 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 1: played my son in chess. It's halftime, Um, worked on 36 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 1: some work and then you know, took a little breather 37 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 1: and then came back for the second game, and it's like, 38 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 1: this is awesome. My biggest takeaway was, oh, my gosh, 39 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 1: I'm so excited for Tuesday when there's two more games 40 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 1: now of course, Uh today not as ideal because both 41 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:27,119 Speaker 1: games are at seven, and as luck or unluck would happen, 42 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 1: they're both Fox games, So we're only going to get 43 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 1: regional coverage and Jason, who's heavily invested in the Eagles, Uh, 44 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:37,920 Speaker 1: we'll be getting rams Seahawks, and Uh, I don't have 45 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 1: a solution to how I'm gonna rectify it, rob G, 46 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 1: do you have any strategies for this, Like, it's not 47 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:44,799 Speaker 1: on an NFL network, right, I don't know how I'm 48 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 1: gonna find this game. I'm gonna have to call up 49 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 1: any legal feed to watch both. Well, they're not illegal feed. 50 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,960 Speaker 1: They are streaming services that you can access online. That's 51 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 1: the way you choose to phrase it to protect yourself 52 00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 1: from the feds. Just wait, hold on, hold on Strea teams. 53 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,080 Speaker 1: You mean like, if I call on the Fox app, 54 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 1: I can stream the game. That's one way. But if 55 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 1: if you let's say, we're not a subscriber to Fox 56 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 1: or CBS or whatever it is you don't have cable, 57 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 1: there are internet streaming services that you can use and 58 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 1: click on the link and watch these games where I've 59 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,400 Speaker 1: been little bit of delay, but I used to do 60 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 1: that that feels like so five years ago everything. I 61 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,080 Speaker 1: just choose not to use the word illegal streams because 62 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 1: of the hypothetical fans which may or may not be 63 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,799 Speaker 1: listening to the Street Fire podcast. Some people away ask me, 64 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:32,359 Speaker 1: how come you never talk about how much money you 65 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 1: gamble on games? I'm like, do you work for the 66 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 1: I R S? Like, I mean, you know, I don't 67 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: put all the money out there on that, you know, 68 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 1: Like sometimes if I've got a ticket from Vegas, what 69 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 1: I'm in Vegas? Yeah, I don't I'm putting that on 70 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 1: there whatever, but um, you know it's more than I 71 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 1: make in a year America. That's not stop things come on. 72 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 1: But but you know these offshore gambling shops, Um, if 73 00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 1: you live in a state that's not legalized gambling, like 74 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 1: you know, I just I just don't feel like you 75 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 1: need to put that information out there, Like, hey, you 76 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 1: can if you want to. I kind of choose not to. Um, 77 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 1: some of the big ones, that's fine, I get it. Um, 78 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 1: you want to act like a big ball or go 79 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 1: for it, but I have I have nothing to prove 80 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 1: like a big gambling I still remember people sometimes ask well, 81 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 1: how did you get into the game? Like, so when 82 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:24,160 Speaker 1: I was in college, Um, my mom had worked at 83 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 1: like the Starwood Resorts. She worked for whatever the company 84 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 1: that had Starwood is it. I don't know if it 85 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 1: was maryott rob do you know that or not? Do 86 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 1: you know Starwood? I have no idea. Okay, I think 87 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 1: it's maybe a bigger, bigger on the East Coast. Anyways, 88 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 1: and you know, I turned twenty one and my mom 89 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 1: was like, you know, I can get you and I 90 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,159 Speaker 1: can get you guys, like a free hotel room in Vegas. 91 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 1: I was like, of course. But the kicker was it 92 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,840 Speaker 1: wasn't like on the strip. It was at a Starwood hotel, 93 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,159 Speaker 1: which was like kind of off the strip and you 94 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 1: could walk, but it was a bit of a hike 95 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 1: so you end up having to take cabs all the time. 96 00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 1: But it was free. So who cares? Um, And we 97 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 1: went and you know, me and my the uh Pete, 98 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,599 Speaker 1: you know, um, probably my longest one of my longest friends, 99 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 1: the longest time friends, known him since elementary school. And 100 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,599 Speaker 1: you know, we go out there and playing a lot 101 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 1: of um black jack obviously, and roulette and then some 102 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 1: sports gambling. And the kicker is when you come back 103 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 1: from Vegas you're still jones into gamble, especially back when 104 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 1: we were twenty one, So I'll never forget this. We 105 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:31,600 Speaker 1: would we opened online accounts offshore and we were betting 106 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:37,840 Speaker 1: on college basketball games in like to February, like Tuesday night, 107 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:42,799 Speaker 1: like Indiana, Michigan, and we would bet online. The internet 108 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 1: was very new. Um. This was way back, like right 109 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 1: at the turn of the century now, and I know 110 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 1: it sounds like forever ago, um, but you know, you 111 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,360 Speaker 1: go on the internet and I'm almost certain we were. 112 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 1: It was like, um, you know, I don't know if 113 00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 1: it was offshore, if it was a guy had set 114 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 1: up a website, like a local guy. But either way, 115 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: we were getting down on these college basketball games. And 116 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,279 Speaker 1: then we would go out to the bar and the 117 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 1: games would be on TV and we would like, you know, 118 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 1: have we know who we were on and we're watching 119 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 1: the game and hitting on girls and getting hammered, and 120 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,279 Speaker 1: it was like awesome. It was just like this is 121 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 1: so fun, like gambling, college drinking girls like doesn't get 122 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 1: what's better than this? And you know, you kind of 123 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 1: get that bug and you kind of stick with it. Um. Again, 124 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:27,720 Speaker 1: at the time of your college you don't have a 125 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 1: lot of money, So we weren't getting down big or anything, 126 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 1: but just the pure adrenaline rush that having skin in 127 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:38,039 Speaker 1: the game, and UM, it's just awesome. And I don't 128 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:39,919 Speaker 1: want to say it's tough for me now to watch 129 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:41,720 Speaker 1: a game without gambling, because that's obviously not the case. 130 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 1: I watched plenty of NBA Finals games without um having 131 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:46,719 Speaker 1: money on it. You know, I'll have some money on 132 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 1: some props. But you don't have to get down on 133 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 1: every game. There's no rule that says you have to 134 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 1: bet now Vikings Bears. I put a little on the 135 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:59,039 Speaker 1: Vikings next little win, UM, But for instance tonight, I 136 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,919 Speaker 1: have zero dollars on ram Seahawks. I don't know what 137 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 1: to make of that game. Let me see who's in 138 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 1: or out for COVID tonight, Eagles. I'm pot committed. I'm 139 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 1: all in UM. But that adds rob and I know 140 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 1: a lot of people are gonna say all those games 141 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 1: sucked Brown's Raiders. Was that bad football? Of course it was. 142 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 1: It was not pretty. I mean I think if you 143 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 1: were um looking up the four drunkest teams in the 144 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 1: NFL right now, just from a pure visual perspective. Nick 145 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 1: Mullins versus Derek Carr is certainly up there. Car actually 146 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 1: moved the ball. Well, I'm sorry for calling your Raiders 147 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 1: drunk um rob, but they that was not a pretty victory, 148 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 1: but they got the dub who cares? And the other 149 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 1: game was I mean almost comedy. I mean, Minnesota Chicago 150 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 1: was such a ship show. I'm looking at the stats here, 151 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 1: Mike Zimmer hundred and ninety three yards of total offense 152 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 1: facing a defense. It was down like six starters. They 153 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 1: had practice squad guys in the secondary and they didn't 154 00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 1: even throw the ball. I mean, they really were. Zimmer 155 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 1: essentially said, we're gonna just hand it off the Dalvin 156 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 1: Cook handed off to him again, and then maybe throw 157 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 1: on third down if we have something. And then Kirk 158 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 1: Cousins that ended up getting sacked a bunch. But the 159 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 1: funniest part about Kirk Cousins going twelve for eighty seven yards, 160 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 1: people are like laughing at him. I'm like, hol hola, hola, hola, hola. 161 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 1: Did you guys watch Carson Wentz on Saturday? Did you 162 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 1: did you see what happened with him against Belichick? Are 163 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 1: you aware? Were you just blinded by how bad Mac 164 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 1: Jones was for a half and the Jonathan Taylor touchdown 165 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 1: run because Carson Wentz was five for twelve for fifty 166 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 1: seven yards. And this is how narratives are built. Kirk 167 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 1: Cousins prime time joker, Oh my gosh, she's so terrible. 168 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,599 Speaker 1: Viking stink. They got the win on the road. The 169 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:48,599 Speaker 1: quarterback was bad. Colts, maybe they could win the a 170 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 1: f C. Carson Wentz is way better than he used 171 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,320 Speaker 1: to be. Carson Wentz is five for twelve for fifty 172 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 1: seven yards. The coach trusts him so little that he 173 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 1: doesn't want him to drop back and pass because the 174 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,960 Speaker 1: chance for a turnover is much greater than when you 175 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,320 Speaker 1: hand her off to Jot the tailor, or Ashton Doulin 176 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:14,679 Speaker 1: or or Naim Hinz. Honestly, if you ask me, who 177 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 1: are you taking, Jake kirk Cousins or Carson Wentz, I'm 178 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 1: going Kirk Cousins. Rob g is probably gonna say Carson 179 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 1: Wentz because he hates Kirk Cousins. I love Kirk Cousins. 180 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,199 Speaker 1: You kidding me? Adams Adam Feeland carried me to the 181 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:30,200 Speaker 1: fantasy football postseason. Not this year. I have him my team. 182 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,840 Speaker 1: He's hurt. No, he got me there and then promptly 183 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:34,560 Speaker 1: left me when I got to the playoffs, you know. 184 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 1: And by the way, how did you do this week? 185 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:40,080 Speaker 1: I have one shot in the dark tonight. I have 186 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:45,320 Speaker 1: my kicker versus kicks hicker. I got Matt Gay right 187 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 1: from the Rams. I need him to score fourteen. I 188 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 1: need the other guy score zero for me to win. 189 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 1: So we'll see what happens. I know nobody cares about 190 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 1: fantasy updates, but in one league, I have Cooper Cup 191 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,440 Speaker 1: and the Eagles defense. He has Odd Penny and DK Metcalf. 192 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:05,199 Speaker 1: Ramsey is a go though tonight, right, yes, so Ramsey 193 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 1: will be on Metcalf should lock him down. No, Tyler 194 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,679 Speaker 1: locket and then basically you gotta stop for shot Penny 195 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 1: um on the road. I don't see Penny having another 196 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,079 Speaker 1: monster game. I'm feeling good. I mean Cooper Cup against 197 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,320 Speaker 1: the Seahawks secondary. I feel good about that one. The 198 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:23,679 Speaker 1: other one, the big money league, little bit DICEI er 199 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:25,959 Speaker 1: Rob and I know again people say, oh, fantasy content, 200 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 1: nobody cares you guys, You're in fantasy you care. I 201 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:34,320 Speaker 1: hold a four point lead. Four that's it. I have 202 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:38,840 Speaker 1: Eagles kicker. He has Davonte Smith of Philadelphia. What do 203 00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 1: you think Rob four and Jake Elliott versus Devonte Smith. 204 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 1: I mean, the problem is that Smith scores a touchdown 205 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 1: probably a loss, yea does run? I mean, first of all, 206 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 1: if Minshew goes, I'm i'm aft um. Although actually Devonte 207 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 1: Smith last couple of games two receptions twenty two yards, 208 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 1: two catches fifteen yards, he hasn't scored a touchdown in 209 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:10,000 Speaker 1: three weeks. Interesting m hm. You know, I know people 210 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:11,559 Speaker 1: are something like I don't care about your fancy team. 211 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 1: You know, all I care about how are you gonna 212 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:14,719 Speaker 1: make my fantasy team better? Right? Why don't you get 213 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:17,320 Speaker 1: Matthew Berry on again to make it better for everybody? 214 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:19,439 Speaker 1: Let me just say this, the kind of dovetails of 215 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:23,960 Speaker 1: what you said earlier about gambling on games fantasy football 216 00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 1: and on a much grander scale, but I believe on 217 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 1: in a much cheaper scale is what makes the NFL 218 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 1: so popular, what makes it the best sport to watch 219 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,559 Speaker 1: bar none in America for the same reasons you bear 220 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 1: up with gambling. If you don't care about the teams 221 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,560 Speaker 1: that are playing, you can at least have a vested 222 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 1: interest because you have Matt Gay as your kicker or 223 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 1: or in this case last night. You know, the Vikings 224 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,080 Speaker 1: and the Bears game was terrible, but you got David 225 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,720 Speaker 1: Montgomery and you're in the playoffs and you need eight points. 226 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 1: You're watching every play, You're watching every single minute of 227 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 1: that game. And and that's something that I think the 228 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 1: NFL does better than any other sport, better than the NBA, 229 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:11,080 Speaker 1: better than baseball, is they found a way to make 230 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:14,680 Speaker 1: it so that the casual fan can still ride or 231 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 1: die with their quote unquote team the same way I 232 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: would with the Raiders or someone in Texas with the 233 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 1: Cowboys and so on. I listen that that's a great point. Actually, 234 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:27,920 Speaker 1: but you said the NFL made it. I'm curious. Did 235 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 1: the NFL star fantasy or did something like random people 236 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 1: start fantasy football. I don't know the answer to that. Well, 237 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,440 Speaker 1: I think they were the first ones to embrace the 238 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:41,079 Speaker 1: fantasy aspect because they were having fantasy on television, fantasy podcasting. 239 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 1: Like I remember hearing about Matthew Berry before I even 240 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 1: knew what fantasy football was. You know, I remember getting 241 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 1: a newspaper articles that would say, Hey, if you're gonna 242 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,559 Speaker 1: do a fantasy draft, these are the top thirty names 243 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 1: to know. And it was like Dante could Pepper was 244 00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,199 Speaker 1: number one, you know, and I was like, well, what 245 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:00,560 Speaker 1: the heck is fantasy football? I don't know what that is. 246 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,960 Speaker 1: I don't care about that. And it's like the NBA, 247 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 1: for all of their progressive, you know, nature that they 248 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 1: have from their front offices and with you with a 249 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 1: player empowerment, all that they haven't done as good of 250 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 1: a job. I don't think of selling that part of 251 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:17,760 Speaker 1: the game. And the NFL, to their credit, to their credit, 252 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,559 Speaker 1: even though they really lagged behind with the gambling, they 253 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 1: were all in on fantasy very early. Just so unique 254 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:28,359 Speaker 1: with with only basically fourteen weeks and then the playoffs, 255 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:32,600 Speaker 1: it's so easy to like play fantasy football. Dude, we 256 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:37,240 Speaker 1: did fantasy NBA last year. And this is gonna sound embarrassing, 257 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:41,040 Speaker 1: but like the commissioner and I mean many guys and 258 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,560 Speaker 1: len didn't even know this season was starting when it 259 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 1: did this year, so we missed it, just forgot to renew. 260 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 1: And it's like, well, I would blame them, but I'm like, 261 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, it's tipping off and you're like, oh, 262 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 1: I forgot about fantasy basketball. There's just so many games, 263 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,439 Speaker 1: you know, and baseball is where I got started in 264 00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 1: fantasy baseball. We were doing it by hand. And I 265 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 1: remember it was like nineteen eighties seven, maybe I was 266 00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 1: a young kid, and I remember having the draft and 267 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 1: we had like those composition notebooks and you have to 268 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 1: get the box score out of the newspaper, and if 269 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:11,680 Speaker 1: it was a late game on the West Coast, you 270 00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:13,840 Speaker 1: have to wait for the next day's newspaper, like two 271 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 1: days later and then fill in the stats. We're doing 272 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,040 Speaker 1: it by hand, Rob, And that's how I got it. 273 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 1: And I was a huge baseball fan back then. And 274 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,320 Speaker 1: then of course it was like it's a lot of 275 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 1: time and energy, hundred sixty two games. But when you're 276 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,120 Speaker 1: a kid, you got you know, you're not working during 277 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:31,400 Speaker 1: the summer um And so I don't know, Rob, I 278 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 1: lit'sten fantasy baseball. I haven't. I just stopped doing that. 279 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:36,320 Speaker 1: And if you notice, you know, I don't want to 280 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 1: call out Matthew Berry. He just stopped doing it like 281 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 1: six years ago. He just used to be fanting baseball football. 282 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:42,960 Speaker 1: He's just like, let me just go all in on football, 283 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 1: right right. Well that was a smart move by him 284 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,440 Speaker 1: because it made him the face of fantasy sports in America. 285 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,400 Speaker 1: So anyway, do you have any you want to boast 286 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:52,160 Speaker 1: about your Raiders, you want to say anything. I mean, 287 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,760 Speaker 1: it was they got the dub. You know, I'm happy 288 00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,320 Speaker 1: for your Raiders. I don't think Let me just check 289 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:00,320 Speaker 1: the playoffs standings. Way, you go ahead and you know, 290 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 1: get the floor for a couple of minutes about your 291 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 1: Raiders if anyone knows. I mean, obviously I've said this 292 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 1: multiple times. I do produce the odd couple of Fox 293 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 1: Sports Radio weeknights with Christmas starting Rob Parker shameless plug, 294 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,080 Speaker 1: and that game was on in the middle of the show, 295 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:16,400 Speaker 1: and of course, as uh Cleveland takes the four lead, 296 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 1: Chris and Robert killing me, like, what's up with your guys? 297 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 1: This is embarrassing. Half the Browns are on COVID protocols, 298 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,080 Speaker 1: And as it's happening live, I'm having a meltdown, you know. 299 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 1: I bring up Henry Ruggs and Damon Arnett and John 300 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:30,160 Speaker 1: Grunen's email and it's like, well, what do you think 301 00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 1: was gonna happen? We had all this stuff going on 302 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,080 Speaker 1: the next segment, we had a commercial break. The very 303 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 1: next segment, Daniel Carson is the game when he field 304 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 1: goal and I'm back, you know, then I'm back tweeting 305 00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 1: my ass off about how I was never in doubt 306 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 1: and how this is what's gonna happen. It was preordained. 307 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:48,600 Speaker 1: So they're not a good team. They're They're definitely not. 308 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 1: They have a lot of holes. I guess where I'm 309 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:53,680 Speaker 1: at now is I think I'm one of the last 310 00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:57,320 Speaker 1: remaining Raider fans who defends Derek Carr. I think I'm 311 00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 1: the only one left or one of the few who's 312 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:01,800 Speaker 1: You guys need to, you know, give this guy a 313 00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,760 Speaker 1: break because everything around him is crumbling and he's the 314 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 1: only thing we can actually count on. So six of 315 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:11,200 Speaker 1: their last seven games, rob they have scored fewer the 316 00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 1: sixteen or fewer points. I don't I mean that's offense, 317 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 1: Like they missed Gruden a little bit. You have to 318 00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:20,200 Speaker 1: offensive guy. And the good news is for your Raiders. 319 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 1: And this feel bad saying this, but Teddy Bridgewater's injury 320 00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 1: means it's concussion. Means Drew Lock We'll be starting the 321 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:32,520 Speaker 1: day after Christmas against your Raiders in what is basically 322 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 1: an elimination game, although the Raiders have the tiebreaker over 323 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,520 Speaker 1: the Broncos for now, right because they beat him, um, 324 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:41,840 Speaker 1: but then they close out with the Colts and Chargers. 325 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:47,480 Speaker 1: Not ideal. Um, So you're looking at probably eight and nine. 326 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:49,840 Speaker 1: I don't think that's gonna get it done, but you 327 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,720 Speaker 1: do have the tiebreaker over the Browns, and whoe are 328 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:54,680 Speaker 1: the Browns? Man? I don't know. I listen. I can't 329 00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:57,440 Speaker 1: kill the coach filling in for Stefanski for running it 330 00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:01,200 Speaker 1: with Nick Chubb endlessly like, I don't know that that 331 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:04,639 Speaker 1: offense just looked like they didn't really have much going on. 332 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 1: I mean other than people Jones. Like they had one 333 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,320 Speaker 1: pass over twenty yards to People Jones for the every 334 00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:16,399 Speaker 1: other pass was thirteen yards are fewer? It was just 335 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:19,520 Speaker 1: checked down central. Did they not look exactly like the 336 00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:23,119 Speaker 1: Browns have looked all season? I think that's a little 337 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 1: bit harsh. How is that harsh? I mean, look, Baker Mayfield, 338 00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,560 Speaker 1: if he even though he's limited in general as as 339 00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:33,640 Speaker 1: a prospect as an NFL quarterback, he's hurt. Okay, so 340 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,879 Speaker 1: he has Okay, how about this against a medium team. 341 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:40,560 Speaker 1: I'll give the Raiders average. The brown should be able 342 00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:44,320 Speaker 1: to do more with Baker Mayfield, Jervis Landry, Kareem Hunt 343 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:50,160 Speaker 1: with just Chubb and no Stefanski. It felt like we're 344 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,280 Speaker 1: gonna hand the ball off more than we're gonna have 345 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:54,359 Speaker 1: Nick Mullins lose the game for us. Did you not 346 00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:58,159 Speaker 1: get that vibe a little bit? Yeah? I mean they 347 00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,960 Speaker 1: also have some key drops, you know, the early in 348 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,280 Speaker 1: the game, People's Jones had like a thirty or forty 349 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:05,840 Speaker 1: yard passed down the sideline. He just dropped it. Also 350 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:09,160 Speaker 1: holding Mullins. Remember much was made about the offensive line 351 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:12,360 Speaker 1: and they're not getting Jeddrick Wills and this guy, Nick 352 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 1: Mullins was not sacked. And we heard this same thing 353 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,680 Speaker 1: with the Chargers. You remember Thursday against the Chiefs. Wow, 354 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:19,960 Speaker 1: they're missing Slater the left tackle, and the new guys 355 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:23,600 Speaker 1: a turnstyle. Oh my goodness, Herbert's gonna he was not sacked. 356 00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 1: So like these coaches know how to scheme up the 357 00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 1: quarterbacks when the offensive line is going to fold. It's 358 00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,240 Speaker 1: just coaches like I don't know, Arthur Smith and Naggie 359 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:35,720 Speaker 1: who have no clue what they're doing and they just 360 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:40,240 Speaker 1: let the quarterback get destroyed. I still I am dumbfounded 361 00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:44,000 Speaker 1: how Minnesota did not attack that Chicago secondary. I got 362 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,400 Speaker 1: lucky justin Jefferson. I was fantaing him in two fantasy leagues. 363 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 1: He scored a touchdown on the first drive, and I 364 00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:50,120 Speaker 1: think he had one catch to the rest of the way. 365 00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:53,000 Speaker 1: It's like, are you guys serious? But Zimmer doesn't want 366 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:54,600 Speaker 1: to take chances. He said, we got the lead, We're 367 00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:58,720 Speaker 1: just gonna plow cook and kill clock. Not great football, 368 00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 1: but I think we'll get better games tonight.

Big news in the NFL 374 00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:20,400 Speaker 1: on Monday was the Godwin injury. Chris Godwin, who got 375 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:23,280 Speaker 1: hit low. I don't it's unclear if that was a 376 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 1: dirty hit. I didn't see it live. I don't know 377 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:29,200 Speaker 1: if there was a flag or it looks pretty ghastly 378 00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,320 Speaker 1: when you see it. It was just like a helmet 379 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,159 Speaker 1: right to the knee. It was, and he's got an 380 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,840 Speaker 1: a c L. He's out for the year. U Mike 381 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,359 Speaker 1: Evans got hurt in that body bag game, and Leonard 382 00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:43,800 Speaker 1: Fournette did as well. UM Bucks are walking wounded. UM 383 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:48,160 Speaker 1: they do, however, get Antonio Brown back this week, and 384 00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:51,200 Speaker 1: there were reports that Antonio Brown would be getting shipped 385 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:55,640 Speaker 1: because of the fake vaccination car. I've I forgot how 386 00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:59,800 Speaker 1: acidine this guy is fake vaccination card. He got busted 387 00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:02,760 Speaker 1: for him and some other guy in the secondary. They're back, 388 00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,359 Speaker 1: And there was this whole like, Indonio Brown probably gonna 389 00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:09,240 Speaker 1: get dismissed, Like where was that coming from. There was 390 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:12,720 Speaker 1: no shot in hell that one of Brady's guys is 391 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:16,720 Speaker 1: gonna get tossed. None. If Brady wants you in Tampa, 392 00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:21,560 Speaker 1: you're in Tampa. I know everybody. Oh, Bruce arians respected coach. 393 00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:25,359 Speaker 1: Yeah that's true. Um, it's Tom Brady's team. We know this. 394 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:27,440 Speaker 1: There was some tug of war over it last year 395 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:32,480 Speaker 1: and pretty clearly Brady one and then went to the 396 00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:36,400 Speaker 1: Super Bowl and one and they were the Super Bowl 397 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:40,160 Speaker 1: favorites much of this season. Even without Godwin. They're still 398 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 1: very dangerous. I don't know right now if they're better 399 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:47,080 Speaker 1: than the Packers. My guess is no. The Super Bowl 400 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:51,120 Speaker 1: odds agree with me. But this idea robbed the Antonio 401 00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:55,239 Speaker 1: Brown I'm sorry, and yeah, Antonio Brown was gonna not 402 00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 1: return to the Bucks because it's fake vaccination card. Like, 403 00:20:58,040 --> 00:20:59,919 Speaker 1: you gotta be kidding me. There's no there was no 404 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:03,679 Speaker 1: way he was getting tossed. Well, if Bruce Arians had 405 00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:05,679 Speaker 1: any stones, he would have been tossed. Let me just 406 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:10,280 Speaker 1: say that stones. Well, here's the thing before before I 407 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 1: lay out my whole spiel, shout out to Antonio Brown 408 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 1: who turned a ten thousand dollar debt into a two 409 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,200 Speaker 1: dollar lost by missing three game checks and then still 410 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:20,400 Speaker 1: having to pay the guy back the ten thousand dollars. Oh, 411 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 1: he had to pay one quarter. I don't I don't 412 00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:24,840 Speaker 1: know how much of it he paid, but we'll assume 413 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:26,879 Speaker 1: that he paid all of it. So it's rather than 414 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,480 Speaker 1: pay the ten g's up front months ago, he gets 415 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 1: suspended for three games, loses like a eighty grand and 416 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 1: game checks and then plus that. So tough tough scene 417 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:38,439 Speaker 1: for the Brown family right now in Tampa Bay. But 418 00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:42,760 Speaker 1: this whole Antonio Brown thing, it reminds me of a 419 00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:44,919 Speaker 1: lot of what's going on in the NBA right now 420 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:49,880 Speaker 1: with Kyrie Irving the Nets ownership. Similar to the books. 421 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:54,399 Speaker 1: You know, Bruce Arians laid out right in the beginning, said, look, 422 00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:57,240 Speaker 1: we're not going to allow Kyrie Irving to be a 423 00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:00,159 Speaker 1: part time player. That is not what we do here, 424 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,520 Speaker 1: that is not our culture. He needs to be all 425 00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:06,760 Speaker 1: in or not at all. Bruce Arian says, I don't 426 00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:09,639 Speaker 1: want Antonio Brown. We don't need Antonio Brown. Tom Brady 427 00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:10,879 Speaker 1: pushes for him, and he said, all right, well we're 428 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:14,679 Speaker 1: gonna bring him in, but if he slips up one time, 429 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 1: he's gone. There are no second chance to win me. 430 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:22,719 Speaker 1: But notice both situations change their tune as soon as 431 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:27,199 Speaker 1: it became clear that as constructed they may not be 432 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:31,439 Speaker 1: good enough to win a championship anymore. In Brooklyn, we 433 00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:34,840 Speaker 1: thought James Harden and Kevin Durant alone would be enough 434 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:36,679 Speaker 1: to get them through the East and then hopefully the 435 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 1: role players will get them the rest of the way 436 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,920 Speaker 1: for the championship. James Harden has not been All Caps 437 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,840 Speaker 1: James Harden at all this season. Kevin Durant is having 438 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 1: to play forty plus minutes just for them to win games. 439 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,160 Speaker 1: Half their roster, or more than half, like three quarters 440 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,920 Speaker 1: of the roster has COVID. They hadn't beaten a good team, 441 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:57,480 Speaker 1: I believe, all season, so their ownership is like, shit, 442 00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:00,720 Speaker 1: maybe maybe we do need Kyrie. Maybe we'll just take 443 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:02,320 Speaker 1: Kyrie back on the part time bass. I know that 444 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:04,800 Speaker 1: we said it goes against everything that we believe in, 445 00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:08,440 Speaker 1: but we can't win as constructed. Let's allow him to 446 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 1: come back on a part time basis, Tampa Bay. If 447 00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,680 Speaker 1: Mike Evans is not hurt and Chris Godwin is not hurt, 448 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,320 Speaker 1: do you really think that they're still gonna bring in 449 00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:21,760 Speaker 1: Antonio Brown and then welcoming back with open arms, knowing 450 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:26,640 Speaker 1: that he is a volatile character to say the least. Yeah, 451 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:30,239 Speaker 1: I still think they would really remember they needed him 452 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:34,600 Speaker 1: last year. Man, this team is good, but Antonio Brown 453 00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:36,760 Speaker 1: takes some They make the jump to light speed with 454 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,200 Speaker 1: Antonio Brown in the slot? What are the other options? 455 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:42,880 Speaker 1: That guy? Tyler Johnson's serviceable guy. I'm sure the white 456 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:47,440 Speaker 1: kid who caught the touchdown pass against the Packers. Why 457 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:49,520 Speaker 1: is he got to be Scotty because he's a white guy, 458 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:56,400 Speaker 1: Little Scott Miller Um. But no, no, listen, they if 459 00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:59,320 Speaker 1: Tom Brady wants remember didn't Tom Brady say I'm gonna 460 00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:01,840 Speaker 1: have Antonio Brow live in my house in Tampa my 461 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:06,040 Speaker 1: you know, fifty square foot mansion so he stays out 462 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:08,520 Speaker 1: of harm's way. Isn't that what happened that's exactly what. 463 00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:10,480 Speaker 1: And he's staying out of harm's way. Now, I guess 464 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:13,960 Speaker 1: he's like, oh, grown up Dnio Brown on his own. 465 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:16,880 Speaker 1: But Tom Brady chef is kind of keeping one eye 466 00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:20,400 Speaker 1: on him, right, tom Brady's um TV twelve guy. What's 467 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:23,640 Speaker 1: his name? Oh Alex Garrero? Yeah, you know, boy, isn't 468 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:27,280 Speaker 1: it great? Now? Alex Guerrero, who by all accounts as 469 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,080 Speaker 1: the stand up guy, has never been tied to anything Shady, 470 00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 1: has never had any of his clients get popped for 471 00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,800 Speaker 1: performance and hancing drugs in any kind of way. The 472 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:40,879 Speaker 1: only story that we hear of Alex Guerrero in is 473 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 1: that when Antonio Brown submitted his vaccination card to the 474 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,680 Speaker 1: Bucks for review, that Alex Guerrero was in the room 475 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:50,560 Speaker 1: as he took the picture. That that's the only, the 476 00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:53,640 Speaker 1: only tie and he has all years is that situation. Look, 477 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:55,680 Speaker 1: you know you've been hanging out with Rob Parker too much. 478 00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:58,280 Speaker 1: You are just such a Tom Brady hater.

Man, alright, barely remember that game? What 485 00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:19,760 Speaker 1: do you mean you launched Tom Brady's whole career, bro, 486 00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 1: That was like eighteen years ago. Yes, Tom Brady would 487 00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:24,240 Speaker 1: not have a single Super Bowl well there not for 488 00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:32,280 Speaker 1: the touch rule.

Look, 490 00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:37,800 Speaker 1: I mean, listen, Antonio Brown is not a stand up dude. 491 00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:39,880 Speaker 1: I would not vouch for him. I don't think he's 492 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:42,280 Speaker 1: a good human being based on everything you've read him out. 493 00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:44,800 Speaker 1: The guy that being said like Tom Brady is a 494 00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:46,760 Speaker 1: freaking boss.

I mean 496 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:54,280 Speaker 1: I definitely feels like a Tom Brady decision, that's for sure. 497 00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:56,800 Speaker 1: But I just think that if they had their full 498 00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:00,359 Speaker 1: complement of weapons, that Bruce Arians would have been able 499 00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:02,119 Speaker 1: to get this one over and say, look, Tom, we 500 00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:06,040 Speaker 1: gave you the opportunity. He helped us win. It paid off. 501 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 1: But this guy is not a cultural fit anywhere. You know, 502 00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,879 Speaker 1: if if you think the vaccination card is the reason, 503 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,400 Speaker 1: you know why we're dismissing him. That's not true. It 504 00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:20,680 Speaker 1: is everything else that happened before that. Yeah, I mean 505 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,680 Speaker 1: Antonio Brown is one of those guys robbed where when 506 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:28,560 Speaker 1: he retires within five years, you're worried, Like, yes, he's 507 00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:31,159 Speaker 1: probably hanging out with some shady characters. It's making some 508 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,280 Speaker 1: bad decisions off the field. Well he's not on the 509 00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 1: field anymore, so like it's gonna go downhill for him 510 00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:37,800 Speaker 1: if he doesn't clean up his act. And I don't 511 00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:41,200 Speaker 1: see that happening given the fake vaccination card thing. Um, 512 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:43,560 Speaker 1: my favorite part of the whole story was like he 513 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:47,240 Speaker 1: got busted for it, and then his lawyer makes a statement, Listen, 514 00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:52,040 Speaker 1: Antonio Brown has had his first shot. Okay, he is 515 00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:55,000 Speaker 1: doing the right thing. Makes no Manne mentioned at all 516 00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:58,920 Speaker 1: that he was in possession of a fake vaccination card 517 00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:01,920 Speaker 1: and at the time he did not have the vacs. 518 00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:05,399 Speaker 1: But now hey, he's got these guys anyways, Um, all right, 519 00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:08,720 Speaker 1: let's any other big stories. I'm trying to think, like, oh, 520 00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:12,720 Speaker 1: the NHL basically just said, hey, well COVID is running gramped. 521 00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:14,880 Speaker 1: We gotta pause life. We're taking the year off, taking 522 00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:17,199 Speaker 1: the rest of the year off. So NHL has stopped. 523 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:18,959 Speaker 1: I mean, it's like the third venture of the NHL 524 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:23,080 Speaker 1: in the history of this podcast. Um. I the NBA 525 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:26,359 Speaker 1: does not need to do this, okay, honestly, I mean again, 526 00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:29,199 Speaker 1: I'm not there to you it would help at all, 527 00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:31,520 Speaker 1: It wouldn't don't do anything. Yeah, I haven't pulled through 528 00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 1: all the data. Um, but I have yet to see someone. 529 00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:40,320 Speaker 1: I'm sure it'll make headlines someone like under the age 530 00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:42,040 Speaker 1: of I don't know, fifty you want to go with 531 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:46,480 Speaker 1: what do you want forty five? Under who's vaccine boosted? 532 00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:50,040 Speaker 1: And as on a ventilator or in the hospital, we're dead. 533 00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:52,879 Speaker 1: I don't That person does not exist now. If that 534 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,600 Speaker 1: they start to exist here in the coming weeks, well ship, 535 00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:58,359 Speaker 1: we got a big problem. But there's zero evidence of 536 00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:03,920 Speaker 1: that nothing. It's still very new, I know. But I 537 00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:05,919 Speaker 1: don't want to go down this road rout. But what 538 00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:10,800 Speaker 1: annoys me is we're approaching two years on this damn thing. 539 00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:17,520 Speaker 1: Are we supposed to just stop doing life, just stay 540 00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:19,680 Speaker 1: at home and do nothing? Like we're doing our part, 541 00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:23,040 Speaker 1: most of us. Anyway, If you get the VATS and 542 00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:27,439 Speaker 1: you're boosted as of now, like that's the best you 543 00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:30,440 Speaker 1: can do, So go have fun right, and it seems 544 00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:33,359 Speaker 1: to be working. Because everybody who's testing positive and pro sports, 545 00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:36,359 Speaker 1: is they symptomatic because they're vaccinated or and or boosting. 546 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:39,720 Speaker 1: I'll say this, Um, I won't name them, but I 547 00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:43,880 Speaker 1: do know too people who like a close isu to me, 548 00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:48,640 Speaker 1: Um text friends who tested positive and their symptoms are 549 00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:53,400 Speaker 1: nil or not significant at all, Um, but they are 550 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:57,600 Speaker 1: clearly bummed. Like it's Christmas week, you know, UM, a 551 00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:03,520 Speaker 1: little disappointing, and you know, you try to figure out 552 00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:07,720 Speaker 1: like what that happy medium is. But like I'll say this, 553 00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:10,840 Speaker 1: So my buddy got got me into this boxing class, 554 00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:12,960 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, I'm like, do I want 555 00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:16,200 Speaker 1: to go to a boxing class the week of Christmas? 556 00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:18,080 Speaker 1: I don't want to wake up Christmas morning sick and 557 00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,080 Speaker 1: not be able to be with my family. You know, 558 00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:22,800 Speaker 1: we're trying to take a little trip. Um, I got 559 00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:26,280 Speaker 1: any to play basketball this week indoors. I'm certainly not 560 00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:29,120 Speaker 1: turning that down. But what am I like? What am 561 00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:33,000 Speaker 1: I wearing a mask? Am I? You know? UM, this 562 00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:36,400 Speaker 1: is gonna sound really you guys are gonna laugh. Um, 563 00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:38,440 Speaker 1: So is it Rob? Have you been to the dentist 564 00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:41,680 Speaker 1: during COVID? Yes? Okay, So do you know that stuff 565 00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,479 Speaker 1: that they make you gargle with before you get started? 566 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:48,480 Speaker 1: You know? Yes? Okay, so you can buy that on Amazon. 567 00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:52,320 Speaker 1: It's pretty cheap. So I bought some bottles, and early 568 00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:57,440 Speaker 1: in COVID, I would um before I play basketball. During basketball, 569 00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:01,880 Speaker 1: I would be gargling and spitted out outside. UM. So 570 00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:04,280 Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna do that and play basketball. And again, 571 00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:06,160 Speaker 1: is that doing? You think? I What the hell do 572 00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:08,720 Speaker 1: I know? But if it's good enough for the dentist office, 573 00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:12,960 Speaker 1: you know, I mean? Yeah? But like, again, should I 574 00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,520 Speaker 1: completely pause everything I'm doing wrong? I don't know. Are 575 00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:17,480 Speaker 1: you what do you? Are you stopping doing stuff? Aren't 576 00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:19,840 Speaker 1: you hanging out with family? Yeah? I just got back 577 00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:23,080 Speaker 1: from a vacation this past weekend. You should. It's part 578 00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:25,959 Speaker 1: of the reason why I could not participate in yesterday's podcast, 579 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:27,680 Speaker 1: because I was like, look, man, it's too early for 580 00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:29,840 Speaker 1: me to be getting up when I'm on a siesta. 581 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:31,560 Speaker 1: Can you go ahead knock this one out for me? 582 00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:34,120 Speaker 1: And You're like, yeah, no problem. So I definitely appreciated that. 583 00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:37,960 Speaker 1: But look, you said it before. We're a couple of 584 00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:41,400 Speaker 1: years into this. Now we've we've already missed the opportunity 585 00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:44,600 Speaker 1: to have this be stopped, because if it was gonna happen, 586 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:47,719 Speaker 1: had happened very early to stop the pandemic from becoming 587 00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,400 Speaker 1: a pandemic. We're at the stage now where it is 588 00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:53,240 Speaker 1: an endemic, which means that it is not going away. 589 00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:57,320 Speaker 1: It is is here forever. You can be vaxed, you 590 00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:00,200 Speaker 1: can be boosted, you can choose not to be what ever. 591 00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:04,640 Speaker 1: The fact is, this is going to be here forever 592 00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:08,040 Speaker 1: or as long as our lifetime dictates. Here's one. So 593 00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:10,880 Speaker 1: will you be wearing a mask at the grocery store 594 00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:19,880 Speaker 1: on June one? Depends what I actually we should we 595 00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:22,880 Speaker 1: should say this. We're obviously in Los Angeles. Yeah, a 596 00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:26,160 Speaker 1: little different when when they lifted the mandates. I remember 597 00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:28,120 Speaker 1: walking into Ralphs like, oh wow, this is cool. I'm 598 00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:30,600 Speaker 1: not having to wear a mask. I didn't even know that. Yeah, 599 00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,800 Speaker 1: they lifted it. Oh what a couple of months ago? 600 00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:36,800 Speaker 1: Months ago? Now? Yeah, it lasted for like two and 601 00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:39,520 Speaker 1: a half weeks. I did. It was it was like 602 00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:41,760 Speaker 1: right before summer started and then all of a sudden 603 00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:45,840 Speaker 1: it was back on. Um. It was because Newsom didn't 604 00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:47,080 Speaker 1: want to get recalls, so he was like, I'm gonna 605 00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:49,240 Speaker 1: lift the mask mandates. Remember that and then talk about 606 00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:53,280 Speaker 1: that prick so so so June one, will you be 607 00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:56,880 Speaker 1: wearing mask in a grocery store in l as long 608 00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:59,320 Speaker 1: as the man dates are lifted, then no, I will 609 00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:02,760 Speaker 1: not be wearing a man No, no, do you think 610 00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:04,760 Speaker 1: the mandates will be lifted that? Oh no, I think 611 00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:07,080 Speaker 1: I think it will definitely, especially in California. Yeah, it'll 612 00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,720 Speaker 1: still be here. Oh god. So now here's the big one. 613 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:15,440 Speaker 1: January one three. Okay, so twelve and a half months 614 00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:17,320 Speaker 1: from now, will you wear will you have to wear 615 00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:22,080 Speaker 1: a mask on an airplane? Oh? God, I hope not. 616 00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:24,760 Speaker 1: I can't honestly say for sure. Honestly, I will not 617 00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,160 Speaker 1: be surprised if they make people wear masks on airplanes, 618 00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:32,560 Speaker 1: like permanent. Seriously, like every winter there's a flu, So 619 00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:37,880 Speaker 1: there's gonna be a very very variation of COVID. That's 620 00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:40,880 Speaker 1: that's just my gut feeling, and that's what that wouldn't 621 00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:44,040 Speaker 1: bother me if I if we had as long as 622 00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:46,880 Speaker 1: it's a short flight. But you know, you're not flying internationally, 623 00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:49,760 Speaker 1: are you know? But I mean, like when when September 624 00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:51,840 Speaker 1: eleventh happened, there was a lot of changes that took 625 00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:55,080 Speaker 1: place in the way we travel, and they're kind of inconvenient. 626 00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:56,400 Speaker 1: You know, you have to take your shoes off to 627 00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:58,480 Speaker 1: go through security like that kind of stuff.

Um. I like the Eagles to win. 654 00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:32,840 Speaker 1: I like them to kind of win handily. My only 655 00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:35,960 Speaker 1: concern is I don't know as of this moment who 656 00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:38,320 Speaker 1: the quarterback is for Washington, and that's not great for 657 00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:40,120 Speaker 1: the Eagles when you don't have any clue who the 658 00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:45,120 Speaker 1: quarterback is. For instance, if case keenom wore Baker had 659 00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:49,360 Speaker 1: been a go against the Raiders Monday, you know, you know, 660 00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:51,160 Speaker 1: the Raiders would have been kind of they were kind 661 00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:53,200 Speaker 1: of in limbo, like who's starting? We don't know? Is 662 00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:55,520 Speaker 1: it Nick Mullins, who we have no tape on. And 663 00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:57,719 Speaker 1: Allins did not have an awful game. He wasn't great. 664 00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:01,360 Speaker 1: He also had no receivers, no offensive line. It's another story. 665 00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:05,080 Speaker 1: I just struggle to find a path to victory for Washington. 666 00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:10,200 Speaker 1: It's there. One secret is, hey, we got a quarterback. 667 00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:12,319 Speaker 1: They have no idea what's coming because he's been on 668 00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:15,880 Speaker 1: a practice squad. I would I wouldn't mind if it 669 00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:17,640 Speaker 1: was Kyle Allen. I know he's been with the system 670 00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:21,640 Speaker 1: with Rivera and um whatever his name Scott Turner for 671 00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:26,239 Speaker 1: a while, but he's no good. Um. Terry McLaurin has 672 00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:28,760 Speaker 1: cleared concussion protocol, which is a bit of a shocker 673 00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:32,440 Speaker 1: after that fall last week, and um, he's gonna play, 674 00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:36,879 Speaker 1: which kind of scares me. But Eagles secondary has not 675 00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:41,120 Speaker 1: been awful this year. A Darius big Place Sleigh grading 676 00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:43,320 Speaker 1: out as one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL. 677 00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:45,200 Speaker 1: I know that shocking because he hasn't been good in 678 00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:47,360 Speaker 1: a couple of years, but he's kind of having a 679 00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:51,960 Speaker 1: rebirth big Place sla. It helps when you know your 680 00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:57,440 Speaker 1: frontline Cox Barnett sweat. They're playing really well. I just 681 00:35:57,640 --> 00:35:59,800 Speaker 1: Eagles are gonna run the football and win. Um. I 682 00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:03,560 Speaker 1: would look at props for um Miles Sanders. He should 683 00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:06,239 Speaker 1: have a big game. Washington was able to run on 684 00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:08,799 Speaker 1: this Uh, I'm sorry, Dallas was able to run on 685 00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:11,600 Speaker 1: this Washington defense. I like the Eagles I'll take the 686 00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:18,960 Speaker 1: Eagles twenty seven Washington seventeen. Um, Ram Seahawks is a 687 00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:20,880 Speaker 1: good game, but this is a tough one. Rob. I 688 00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:23,200 Speaker 1: don't know how to handicap this because I don't. I 689 00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:25,239 Speaker 1: still don't have a good gauge on who's in for 690 00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:28,440 Speaker 1: the Rams, but I did see O'Dell is back, right, Um, 691 00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:32,760 Speaker 1: But it feels like everything's changing by by the day. 692 00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:34,919 Speaker 1: And I'm sorry, I'm not at the speed on who 693 00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:37,759 Speaker 1: the hell is in for the Rams. Yeah, I mean 694 00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:39,480 Speaker 1: that's the world that we live in these days, right. 695 00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:42,920 Speaker 1: You know, heading into Monday night, we thought that the 696 00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:45,520 Speaker 1: Browns were going to have you know, twenty five guys 697 00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:47,600 Speaker 1: on COVID, and they end up getting I think two 698 00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:49,960 Speaker 1: or three back. And during the two days that the 699 00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:52,200 Speaker 1: game was delayed, the Raiders end up losing a starting 700 00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:55,120 Speaker 1: in the secondary because of COVID. So this can change 701 00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:59,960 Speaker 1: that quickly. Um. I think assuming everybody who was supposed 702 00:36:59,960 --> 00:37:03,239 Speaker 1: to a play does play. I like the Rams in 703 00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:05,000 Speaker 1: this spot. I think that this is a law season 704 00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:07,000 Speaker 1: for Seattle. I think you brought up a good point 705 00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:10,160 Speaker 1: earlier in the pot about Jalen Ramsey going up against 706 00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:13,360 Speaker 1: DK Metcalf. DK has been quiet. I hadn't been one 707 00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:14,960 Speaker 1: of my fantasy leagues for the last month or so 708 00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:19,000 Speaker 1: when since Russell Wilson has come back. Um, and I 709 00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:22,319 Speaker 1: think that the Rams got over a big, you know, 710 00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:25,920 Speaker 1: mental hurdle with that victory over Arizona. I think that 711 00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:29,120 Speaker 1: that that they needed that kind of performance to prove 712 00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:31,600 Speaker 1: that to themselves and more than anything that they are 713 00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:35,439 Speaker 1: one of the best teams in football. Although I do wonder, 714 00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:40,239 Speaker 1: rob do based on how bad Arizona looked against Detroit, 715 00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:44,000 Speaker 1: is that Rams win kind of downgraded because the Arizona 716 00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:47,960 Speaker 1: has been trending downward for a while. Yeah, but I 717 00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:50,759 Speaker 1: mean it's not just that they want, it's how they want. Like, 718 00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:54,120 Speaker 1: they have a formula for them that they like to follow, 719 00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:56,719 Speaker 1: and if they would have had to deviate from that 720 00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:58,880 Speaker 1: formula to get the win, that maybe you can argue that. 721 00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:02,279 Speaker 1: But the fact that imposed their style of play on 722 00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:06,120 Speaker 1: Arizona a lot of Matthew Stafford him looking like an 723 00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:08,960 Speaker 1: m v P caliber quarterback, O'Dell Beckham Jr. Looks like 724 00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:11,400 Speaker 1: he's working his way into the system very well. And 725 00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:15,279 Speaker 1: Cooper cup is arguably the best receiver in football and 726 00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:17,839 Speaker 1: he's being featured as such, so as long as they 727 00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:20,560 Speaker 1: can play on their terms, I think that they feel 728 00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:22,840 Speaker 1: that they should be able to roll over Seattle in 729 00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:27,000 Speaker 1: this game. Um. Okay, So I've got the updated the 730 00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:32,200 Speaker 1: biggest news around one pm Eastern today, the Seahawks will 731 00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:35,080 Speaker 1: find out if Alex Collins, their backup running back to 732 00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:39,279 Speaker 1: Penny and Tyler Lockett Russ a security blanket, will be 733 00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:43,680 Speaker 1: able to go. Um. It looks like Lockett and Collins 734 00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:47,560 Speaker 1: tested positive on Thursday, so they will have had four 735 00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:52,680 Speaker 1: days and change um to uh have it passed through 736 00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:56,560 Speaker 1: their systems. It's done clear if they're vaccinated it or not. Um. 737 00:38:56,719 --> 00:39:01,160 Speaker 1: The big one was cornerback DJ Reid one on the 738 00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:04,239 Speaker 1: list Sunday, very unlikely that he's able to go, and 739 00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:06,960 Speaker 1: the Rams and not to go too deep into COVID here. 740 00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:09,320 Speaker 1: The RAMS had eleven guys who came off the COVID 741 00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:13,440 Speaker 1: list since Friday. The big ones Odell Beckham of course, um, 742 00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:18,080 Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey. Uh. Those are two big starters. And if 743 00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:21,640 Speaker 1: you lose the cornerback in Seattle and you gotta face 744 00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:24,680 Speaker 1: Odell Beckham and Cooper Cup my guy Cooper Cup in Fantasy. 745 00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:26,400 Speaker 1: By the way, did I tell you Rob the funny 746 00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:29,320 Speaker 1: story Cooper Cup randomly I tagged him in some awesome 747 00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:31,440 Speaker 1: video that like I took during a game, and he 748 00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:34,480 Speaker 1: followed me on Instagram. So then a couple of months later, 749 00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:37,040 Speaker 1: I click on his profile and he had unfollowed me, 750 00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:40,560 Speaker 1: and that kind of stung, like it just stugg a little, 751 00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:42,000 Speaker 1: like what do you Why would you follow me? And 752 00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:46,440 Speaker 1: then unfollowed? Did you not like too much kid? Too 753 00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:48,920 Speaker 1: much flexing on my family? Like, well, I don't don't 754 00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:52,879 Speaker 1: shirt off again, you know, come on, it's a there's 755 00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:55,400 Speaker 1: a it's a fine line rob between like the content 756 00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:58,120 Speaker 1: and keeping um there the one that still I'm I'm 757 00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:00,960 Speaker 1: working on efforting as they say in the business. Uh, 758 00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:03,520 Speaker 1: Steph Curry follows me on Twitter, but I can't get that. 759 00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:06,360 Speaker 1: I g follow It's it's it's difficult. You know. He 760 00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:08,719 Speaker 1: probably doesn't even manage his own account though, or maybe 761 00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:11,440 Speaker 1: he just turns to you for the good gambling information, 762 00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:13,719 Speaker 1: but he doesn't care about your kids, Like that's maybe 763 00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:18,200 Speaker 1: what it is. So I'll ride with you. I like 764 00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:22,160 Speaker 1: the Rams to win, you know, McVeigh kinda um has 765 00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:24,000 Speaker 1: to big, has to win this and and I wonder 766 00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:26,920 Speaker 1: man after that. Arizona lost. The Rams are probably like, 767 00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:29,480 Speaker 1: why can't we win the division? And instead of being 768 00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:31,120 Speaker 1: a wild card team, why can't we get a home game? 769 00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:33,680 Speaker 1: And that's kinda that's kind of on the table now. 770 00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:36,319 Speaker 1: The way Arizona is playing and their Arizona schedule is 771 00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:39,120 Speaker 1: not easy. The stuff coming out of Kyler Murray's mouth 772 00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:41,960 Speaker 1: does not sound good. He's basically said, we were not 773 00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:46,440 Speaker 1: prepared to play Detroit. Cliff Kingsbury, by the way, now 774 00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:50,120 Speaker 1: a bit of a crazy set owen four in win 775 00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:55,040 Speaker 1: and get in the playoff games. Not good. I gotta 776 00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:56,879 Speaker 1: get that monkey off your back, Cliff, And you guys 777 00:40:56,920 --> 00:41:00,560 Speaker 1: know I have a soft spot for Arizona. Um, I 778 00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:02,520 Speaker 1: don't does it doesn't look good. I think they'll get 779 00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:04,120 Speaker 1: in the playoffs. I I don't think they're winning the 780 00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:06,759 Speaker 1: West if the if the Rams win tonight, they're gonna 781 00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:10,040 Speaker 1: probably get the West. All right, guys, enjoy the NFL, 782 00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:13,920 Speaker 1: and a quick shout at a happy birthday to my daughter, 783 00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:17,279 Speaker 1: the coolest nine year old on planet Earth.
