Speaker 1: lead this hour is from La La Land and update. Update.

33
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 1: After refusing very oddly to answer questions about the status

34
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 1: of Matthew Stafford over the weekend, which led some to

35
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: conclude it wasn't good. It wasn't good. The Rams broke

36
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:27,239
Speaker 1: their radio silence. Hellllelujah, hellllelujah. So if you didn't see

37
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,079
Speaker 1: this or hear about it, maybe not. We've learned now

38
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: that Super Bowl champion quarterback Matthew Stafford was a full participant.

39
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 1: Oh my god, you saw that. No full participant. I know.

40
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 1: It's a shocking revelation. In the hour or so that

41
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:52,079
Speaker 1: he did practice, he ran wait for it, twenty six

42
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:57,119
Speaker 1: plays oh my god. In team drills twenty six place

43
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 1: now Stafford his return of the field, this being celebrated

44
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 1: by Maddy. This is a great sign. It's a great mitchfoot.

45
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 1: Sean McVay, who did not comment over the weekend, McVeigh

46
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: said Stafford quote look good in his return to Ram workouts.

47
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 1: This is the big injury storyline of the exhibition season.

48
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: McVeigh also, though, said that the Rams will continue to

49
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: take things a day at a time. Well, I always

50
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: try to take things three or four days at a time,

51
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 1: but McVeigh is only going to take it a day

52
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: at a time. And in regarding these status the back

53
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: injury of Matthew Stafford. So let us discuss the question,

54
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: how would you describe Sean mcvay's update on the health

55
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: of Matthew Stafford with the Rams. So my thoughts on this,

56
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: I've got Midas, wedding invitations and sand castle and we'll

57
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: mix all of these things together and make some amazing sauce.

58
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: Will it be barbecue sauce, Will it be honey mustard sauce,

59
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: to zeke sauce. We'll just make some good sauce. Now

60
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: A My first reaction to the update on Matthew Stafford

61
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: is what it is. The plot thickens. It's like the

62
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: old radio mystery theater that I'm so old. When I

63
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: was a kid, they still played reruns of that and

64
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 1: my dad used to listen. They love that, that mystery

65
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 1: theater on the radio. They used to do that at night.

66
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: And Sean McVay is giving us a whole lot of

67
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 1: what that's right, a whole lot of nothing the old

68
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 1: day by day day by dayline now using the Mallar

69
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 1: Rosetta stone. And if you do talk radio, you need

70
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 1: a Mallard Rosetta stone is what you need. So we

71
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: just go through coach speak. We dissect coach speak. And

72
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: what McVeigh said is the equivalent of when you visit Midas,

73
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,359
Speaker 1: and the mechanics says, well, keep an eye on it.

74
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 1: Regarding Sean mcvay's like the mechanics, I mean, we're gonna

75
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:10,359
Speaker 1: keep an eye on that. It's like, no, pal, I

76
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 1: need the car to get me where I have to

77
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: go to work, and I have to run some errands

78
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,599
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. Uh, not to the junkyard, Okay,

79
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 1: I don't want to have a tow truck. And McVeigh

80
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:21,840
Speaker 1: says he doesn't, you know, he doesn't want to put

81
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: the cart before the horse. That was one of the

82
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: quotes I saw from mcvey's media session on Monday. And

83
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 1: guess what. The cart is already wobbling, wobble, wobble, wobble.

84
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 1: It's already wobbling it is. The horse looks like it's

85
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 1: limping a little bit. It's got a bad leg. You

86
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: know what happens to the horses that have bad legs,

87
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:46,279
Speaker 1: Elmer's glue. Yeah, that's right. And and mcvay's out there

88
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: he's telling the fan base. He's like, hey, relax, relax, well,

89
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 1: see where this goes. Let's see where this goes. It's

90
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,839
Speaker 1: like turning on your car in the morning. I just

91
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: have a car like this. My I inherited, well, my

92
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: grandfather was still about his old car and that was

93
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: like my first car, and I look really cool because

94
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 1: it's your car. Your first car is big thing. Back

95
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: when I'm so old, I used to like driving. Like

96
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 1: I guess the kids today don't want to even drive.

97
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: They're like, I don't need to go anywhere. I get

98
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:16,839
Speaker 1: them on my phone. I don't need to go in.

99
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 1: But I was like a big deal to drive. And

100
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 1: so I got my grandfather's car, and it looked cool,

101
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: and it seemed like it was perfect, and it didn't

102
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: always start, and sometimes you turn on and make that that,

103
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 1: you know, kind of weird sound, and and you know,

104
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: trying to get the engine going and all that, and

105
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:37,719
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, I don't live in a cold place.

106
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: I live in southern California. If I lived in like Appleton, Wisconsin,

107
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 1: where my brother lives right now, my younger brother, and

108
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 1: then I'd think, Okay, it's a little cold, get to

109
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: warm the car up, like I don't. And and so

110
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,919
Speaker 1: some days it would start, and some days I did

111
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 1: make the call of shame over the Triple A and

112
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 1: get them out there with the tow truck and all

113
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 1: that stuff. But that's Stafford right now. That is essentially

114
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 1: the life and times of Matthew Stafford. And remember a

115
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: couple weeks ago, the reason that this is so interesting,

116
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: in the mystery of it all, is that the company

117
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 1: line that was being fed to useful idiots in the media.

118
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 1: I remember Adam Schefter, for example, was parroting Ram officials saying,

119
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 1: you know, nothing to worry about with Stafford, It's just

120
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 1: a maintenance issue. There's zero panic in the RAMS organization,

121
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 1: and now it looks like the RAMS are treating Matthew

122
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: Stafford like a piece of fine china, and you just

123
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: don't breathe on him too hard. He might crack, maybe

124
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 1: break or toe. And the weekend silence, which turned out

125
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 1: to be a case where it wasn't Stafford had a

126
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: setback or anything like that, but it's still a bad sign.

127
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: It's still a bad sign. It's like he who must

128
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: not be discussed, Like are you paying him forty million

129
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: or something like that a year, Matthew Stafford, and you're

130
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 1: tiptoeing around like he's a sleeping toddler and you don't

131
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 1: want to wake him up. I mean, you don't want

132
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 1: to upset him. I was like, really, what is that about.

133
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 1: We're nothing about a sore hamstring. Here is just sitting

134
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 1: and let it rest a little bit. You're talking about

135
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 1: the back, Oh my aching back, that's what you talking about.

136
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: And the back, as we have pointed out in previous

137
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 1: episodes of this radio show, the back, and I'm not

138
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 1: a doctor, but I can play one on the radio,

139
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 1: is the engine that everything is connected to. Everything is

140
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 1: connected to the back. Right. And if you're back screwed up,

141
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 1: you're screwed right, You're screwed. It's the engine. You mess

142
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 1: with the back, everything shuts down everything. And the backup

143
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 1: plan at this moment is the fellow rotting carcass of

144
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo and Stetson Bennett. Now I am confident whoever

145
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: plays quarterback for the Rams, they'll win at least ten games.

146
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 1: The bar is ten. The defense is good enough, they'll

147
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: get good special teams. McVeigh knows what he's doing. They'll

148
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 1: win ten. The problem is, can you really catch lightning

149
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: in a bottle and be a legitimate contender. You have

150
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: to downgrade obviously, the Rams. You have to downgrade them

151
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: until proven otherwise. And then the NFCS, which pretty wide open. Oh,

152
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 1: Philadelphia's dynasty, now they're not. That was a nice year

153
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 1: last year. Let's see what they got this year, the

154
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles. Anyway. So that's the dear with the Rams.

155
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: And so for those of you in the back of

156
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,839
Speaker 1: the room, a little slow in the back of the

157
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 1: room there, when the Rams say day to day, When

158
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 1: McVeigh says day to day, that to me, that is

159
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: a dead give it dead. Give it. That is code

160
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 1: for we have no idea if he's going to be

161
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 1: able to play or not, so we'll check back to

162
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 1: my It's like the weather in the Midwest, right, it's

163
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: going to change. Just wait a few minutes, it'll change.

164
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 1: I'll just wait a day, it'll change. Now, speaking of

165
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 1: the Midwest or the Atlantic States, well, I guess it

166
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,439
Speaker 1: is the Midwest, but it's like the lowest kind of

167
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: the border of the South. I've been told, I've been

168
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: yelled at by my friends that live in Cincinnati that

169
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 1: it is not the South. But yet when I visited

170
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 1: the airport in Cincinnati, it was in Kentuck, and I

171
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: think of Kentucky as the South. But I was told

172
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 1: that Cincinnati is not a Southern city. So that would

173
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 1: mean it's a Midwestern city, I would assume. Anyway, we've

174
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 1: learned the Bengals and pass rusher Trey Hendrickson have agreement.

175
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 1: They have an agreement, well, not on an actual contract.

176
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:22,959
Speaker 1: They have agreed though, on the length of the hypothetical contract.

177
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 1: They've got the outline on how long the contract will be.

178
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: They also know the average annual salary. Well, that'll get

179
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 1: you through the night. Now, speaking during an absolute dreadful

180
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 1: Monday night football exhibition game that had Fox refugees Joe

181
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: Buck and Troy Aikman calling the game. Hendrickson on the

182
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 1: broadcast confirmed that those are dun skies. They have agreement.

183
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: They have agreement based on this update. I asked you

184
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 1: on the esteem panel, I ask you, is the glass

185
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 1: is it half full or is it half empty for

186
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: Trey Hendrickson with the Bengals. So I am going to

187
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:09,440
Speaker 1: go with half empty and cracked. That's what I wrote

188
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 1: on my scorecard. Why could you say that You can't

189
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 1: say that he's already got the agreement on the average

190
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 1: annual salary and the years, and that's a big thing. Okay,

191
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 1: mix may why I'm gonna I'm gonna hold your hand

192
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 1: and I'm I'm explaining to you like you're five years old. Okay.

193
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 1: The Bengals and Hendrickson have not agreed on the issue

194
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 1: of guaranteed money, which last I checked, is the most

195
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 1: important part of the deal. It's kind of like they're

196
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 1: at the point now where they have picked the font

197
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:42,839
Speaker 1: for the wedding invitations. Congratulations, you know what fonts you're

198
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 1: going to use. Meanwhile, the bride and groom are fighting

199
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 1: over whether the filemon is on the menu or not,

200
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 1: or do they go chicken and fish and avoid the

201
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 1: filet mignon because that's more expensive. And then you've got

202
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 1: the mashed potato option and the green beans, but who

203
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 1: wants green beans? And you have those annoying napkins that

204
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 1: are decorated and folded in special ways. So they've got that,

205
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 1: but the main course, no, no, no, that's guaranteed money, and

206
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: so that's still frozen. They're not sure what they're gonna

207
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 1: take out of the freezer. They don't know what they're

208
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 1: gonna do. And it's like agreeing to build a house

209
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 1: and then refusing, for no apparent reason, refusing to pour

210
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,199
Speaker 1: the foundation for the house. It's like, oh, yeah, we

211
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:32,680
Speaker 1: got the blueprints, we got the blueprints ready to go.

212
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 1: We picked the paint color, and we went out and

213
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 1: we bought some throw pillows, so we've got that for

214
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 1: the house. We're ready to go. And we've got a

215
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 1: coffee book table, and so we don't have a coffee

216
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: table'll get that next. And the concrete though for the foundation,

217
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: the thing that holds up the entire damn the house.

218
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 1: I don't know about that I'm not sure if we

219
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: want to do that or not. We don't know if

220
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 1: we want to have a foundation or not. And that

221
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 1: is the Bengal wait. That is what they do. The

222
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:08,439
Speaker 1: Bengals have a stance. They do not provide secured guaranteed

223
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 1: money after the first season of the contract. So that

224
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 1: has created a impass, and so they continue to be

225
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,959
Speaker 1: an impass, which leads me to despite the average annual

226
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 1: salary being agreed to, and despite Hendrickson indicating the amount

227
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: of years has been agreed to, it doesn't mean the

228
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 1: most important thing is the guaranteed money. Everything else is fluff.

229
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,839
Speaker 1: That's its cotton candy, and that's it all right now,

230
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:38,320
Speaker 1: last word. And then we get some calls and some nonsense.

231
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 1: Here we go to San Francisco, positive reports, boots on

232
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 1: the ground. This did not come from Ernesto the longtime

233
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 1: forty nine or apologist, but it did come from one

234
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 1: of our listeners that listens in the Bay area who said, hey,

235
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 1: mister Rampant, he sent me a message that and I'm

236
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 1: paraphrasing here. I did not write it down, but Mike

237
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 1: is the guy's name him and it was somewhere in

238
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: the Bay area I forget where, and he was saying,

239
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 1: is that well, Matthew Stafford's hurt, but the Niners have

240
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:11,679
Speaker 1: McCaffrey back, They have him back, positive reports The Athletic,

241
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 1: the Old Gray Lady behind a pay wall, telling us

242
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 1: that if forty nine Ers star Christian mccafrey is not

243
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 1: back to his twenty twenty three form, he's pretty close.

244
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 1: Mike was very excited about this report, so he passed

245
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 1: it on to me. Again, if forty nine er star

246
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey is not back to his twenty twenty three form,

247
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 1: which he was an MVP type player, he's pretty close

248
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 1: to it, believe it or not. So I'm gonna answer

249
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 1: it this way. True, perhaps irrelevant, though true, perhaps irrelevant

250
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 1: though And here's why I have this in the basket

251
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 1: that I wrote, and I wrote on the basket, supter

252
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 1: fuge is what I wrote on the basket, like you're

253
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 1: selling the idea that McCaffrey is still the same guy

254
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 1: right now starting the ear. Look, he's starting the year.

255
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 1: He's healthy, he's great, he's fine. And to that, I say,

256
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 1: whoop D damn do That's what I say, whoop D

257
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 1: damn dude. The whole issue with this guy has never

258
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 1: really been week one. It's week nine, it's week ten,

259
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 1: it's week thirteen. It's being a dependable, reliable workhorse. Outside

260
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 1: of a brief stretch which was a magical run of

261
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: greatness like a video game cheat code, Christian McCaffrey has

262
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 1: been more like a sand castle, a professionally made sand castle.

263
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 1: And if you've ever seen one, they're majestic. You're like, Wow,

264
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 1: that was made out of sand. How did someone do that?

265
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 1: That is so artistic, It is so amazing, It is beautiful.

266
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 1: You stare at it, you look at the ocean in

267
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 1: the background. You're like, this is the greatest thing. How

268
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 1: did they do this? I can't believe it. What a

269
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 1: great talent that is. And it looks really great. And

270
00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 1: then what happens? The tide rises and where does that

271
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 1: sand castle go? Right back to the beach. All that

272
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 1: saying comes washing it's washed away, and that's it. And

273
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 1: you look at the niners two and a hater. This

274
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 1: is a teetering on the brink situation because you got

275
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 1: you paid brock Purty. You had to pay them me,

276
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 1: Oh my god, you had to pay so you paid him. Fine, Okay, great,

277
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: it's a multi billion dollar business. You paid brock Purty

278
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 1: and so he got paid. Are you about to get

279
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 1: played here? He's a system guy. Even the biggest brock

280
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 1: Purty suck ups will admit to you he's a system guy.

281
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 1: And that means he's going to lean on Christian McCaffrey

282
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 1: and George Kittle and got rid of some of their

283
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 1: other playmakers and other guys are hurt. So those are

284
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 1: the guys are going to lean on until they come

285
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 1: tumbling down, down, down, down down. In Kyle Shanahan's offense

286
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 1: with brock Purty, it is a training wheels offense, and

287
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 1: it'll work fine until the playmakers end up in the

288
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 1: injury tent and they're roasting marshmallows and making s'mores around

289
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 1: the fire. Well, the games are going on, and then

290
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 1: brock Purty is exposed, and then all of a sudden's like, well,

291
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 1: wait a minute, I thought shanahan system was gonna be okay.

292
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 1: And then well, you paid them all this money and

293
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 1: he's a turn Burger brock party, And then questions will

294
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 1: start about Kyle Shanahan, did they miss their opportunity? Yes

295
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 1: they did, and they didn't win the championship. They got

296
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl, they had a championship level team.

297
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:32,360
Speaker 1: They failed, So therefore, what are we doing here? And

298
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:35,239
Speaker 1: then those kind of storylines will start popping up.

Speaker 1: from the Fox Sports Radio studios, much to the dismay

00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:52,240

321
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:58,119
Speaker 1: made possible by our friends at tire i Raq. For

322

326
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 1: dot com the way tire buying should be. And we

327
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 1: are back at it again and our lead this hour

328
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:25,640
Speaker 1: is from the Factory of Sadness in Cleveland, Ohio. That's right.

329
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:27,919
Speaker 1: We go where the news of the day takes us.

330
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 1: And we had three teams, three teams that had quarterback drama,

331
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:36,439
Speaker 1: O rama, drama, O rama, and one of them has

332
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 1: announced their QB one and that would be the Cleveland

333
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 1: football team. If you somehow missed this because pay attention

334
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 1: to the Browns, perhaps you missed it. The Browns have

335
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:53,200
Speaker 1: named We've learned Joe Flaco. That's right, as old as

336
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 1: a dinosaur, Joe Flaco as the starting quarterback in week

337
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 1: number one, against the He goes now, much to the

338
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 1: annoyance of the fanboys, the Cleveland officion NATO's, who are

339
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,680
Speaker 1: very upset by this. I remember a couple of years ago,

340
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco was the flavor of the month. It was anyone,

341
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 1: anyone other than Deshaun Watson. Well, Flacco now is old news.

342
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:24,879
Speaker 1: But he has beaten out Kenny Pickett hard to believe,

343
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 1: and rookies Shader Sanders and Dylan Gabriel. But Sanders look

344
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:34,440
Speaker 1: so good in those little practice games. Now. Flacco, when

345
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 1: he played for the Browns back in twenty twenty three,

346
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 1: somehow led the team to a playoff appearance, and it

347
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 1: didn't have great individual statistics in five starts. He did

348
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 1: win the AP Comeback Player of the Year award, which

349
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:53,160
Speaker 1: upset many people. They wanted Damar Hamlin, who the guy

350
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 1: that almost croaked on the field for the Bills. They

351
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 1: wanted him to win Comeback Player of the Year, but

352
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 1: it was Joe Flacco. Now. Last season playing for the

353
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 1: Horseshoes with the Colts, Flaco again had pretty middling numbers.

354
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 1: You'll give you twelve touchdowns and seven interceptions and it'll

355
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 1: play really well for one game or a half and

356
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:14,399
Speaker 1: then disappear for the next half or the next couple

357
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 1: of games. So let us discuss the question why why

358
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 1: did the Browns coach Kevin Stefanski go with Joe Flaco

359
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 1: as QB one. So my observations, I've got tuxedo, Alan Wrench,

360
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:34,639
Speaker 1: and Best Buy and we'll combine all of these things

361
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 1: together and we are going to make some chow. That's right,

362
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 1: We're gonna make some chow. So number why My first answer,

363
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 1: and I'm the first answer is always the top answer.

364
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 1: The answer I'm going with, I want to see if

365
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 1: you agree or disagree? Is it starts with a d decorum? Right,

366
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:56,880
Speaker 1: football decorum. That's the ticket. You follow the protocol. When

367
00:21:56,920 --> 00:22:00,639
Speaker 1: in doubt, you go buy the book. When in you

368
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 1: go by the way. So in my head, Stefanski's looking

369
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 1: at the quarterback depth chart. He says, well, this guy sucks.

370
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:10,479
Speaker 1: That guy blows, that guy's garbage and that guy's trash.

371
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:12,199
Speaker 1: But I got to name a starter. So what do

372
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 1: you do? What do you do? You followed the protocol,

373
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 1: Kevin Stefanski, it's the safe pick. If Flacco sucks, you say,

374
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 1: I was just going by the book. I was just

375
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 1: going by the book. That's it. You're not reinventing anything here.

376
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:32,359
Speaker 1: You're just polishing the hupcap. You're not inventing the wheel.

377
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 1: The wheel has already been invented. You're just polishing the hubcap.

378
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:37,639
Speaker 1: That's it. Now, Joe Flacco has more mileage at this

379
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 1: point than a rusted out nineteen ninety four Taurus. A

380
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 1: lot of miles and a lot of rust. It's been

381
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 1: left outside, it hasn't been parked in the garage. There's

382
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:49,639
Speaker 1: a lot going on here. Is the guy you start

383
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:55,119
Speaker 1: when you want to give the illusion you're a competent franchise,

384
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,199
Speaker 1: right that you're you're actually competent, and but you're not

385
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 1: committing to the few you're worried about. Now. You're living

386
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 1: in the moment, and it's it's kind of like if

387
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,639
Speaker 1: you put on a tuxedo to have a nice frozen dinner.

388
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,720
Speaker 1: You're gonna have a nice microwave dinner, but you're getting

389
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:13,159
Speaker 1: all dressed up here. Listen, I can go to a

390
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:15,640
Speaker 1: five star restaurant where a tuxedo. I can sit here

391
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:20,399
Speaker 1: and eat my one pound of fish sticks and the

392
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 1: potato on the side there. I can do that. And

393
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,119
Speaker 1: so that is what they're doing here. They're like, well listen,

394
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:28,160
Speaker 1: we're gonna get all dressed up. This is a Super

395
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 1: Bowl champion quarterback, Joe Flacco. The single greatest postseason run

396
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,360
Speaker 1: of my lifetime was Joe Flacco for the Baltimore Ravens.

397
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 1: It'll never be matched. Well, I'm around and Joe Flacco

398
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 1: did it. Uh, and he got paid a lot of

399
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 1: money and then he stole that money and that was it.

400
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:47,239
Speaker 1: But the TV dinner thing as well, it looks good, right,

401
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:49,440
Speaker 1: you run, the tuxedo looks good, the food looks good,

402
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:50,719
Speaker 1: and then you start eating in it. It's like, well

403
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,160
Speaker 1: it's a little robbery. That's not very good and all

404
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 1: that stuff. So they're going with the VHS option. The

405
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 1: Browns are saying, we'll go via. I know everyone's doing streaming,

406
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 1: but we like that old school that click, you know,

407
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 1: when you put the VHS tape. You're old enough to

408
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 1: remember VHS to you put that in. Thathing locks in

409
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 1: there and you're like, I'm in, I got a movie.

410
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 1: I got a movie and that's it. Now. The streaming,

411
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:17,680
Speaker 1: of course, you dependent on the Wi Fi and all

412
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 1: that stuff. And Joe Flacco is he outdated? Absolutely? It

413
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 1: still occasionally works, much like a VCR. Occasionally it'll still work.

414
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:30,919
Speaker 1: And he's the analog quarterback and in a digital league.

415
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 1: And that's what Joe Flacco is. And you're going with

416
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 1: that the way I approached this. Now, I am not

417
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:37,679
Speaker 1: a Cleveland brown fan. I was for one year. I

418
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 1: was forced. I switched teams every year, and you idiots

419
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:41,679
Speaker 1: voted me a Cleveland Browns fan for one year. So

420
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 1: I do have some Browns merch at the Malor mansion.

421
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,719
Speaker 1: Although I did. I lost the one piece of Browns

422
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:51,199
Speaker 1: merch I wish I had. I cannot find it. Somebody

423
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 1: sent me. They thought it was the ugliest Cleveland brown

424
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:59,239
Speaker 1: hat and it had the Brown's Elf mascot on it,

425
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:03,160
Speaker 1: and I thought it was so ugly. It was good. Look.

426
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 1: I actually wore that, and I wore it so much.

427
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 1: I never lose hats, and I can't. I cannot find

428
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 1: the hat. I don't know what happened to it. It was

429
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:14,200
Speaker 1: like his orange hat and it had these ugly brown

430
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 1: leprechaun the mascot. But I had, I had Brown's jersey.

431
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,959
Speaker 1: I've had all this stuff. I had all this stuff. Anyway,

432
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 1: back to the story, So I look at this. I'll

433
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:28,639
Speaker 1: be Benny bright Side. I am Benny bright Side. The

434
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 1: Browns are using these first couple games of the regular

435
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 1: season as a showcase. That's what they're doing. And Flacco

436
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 1: is not the Browns quarterback. He is the available asset

437
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 1: for the Cleveland Browns. They'll trot him out there and

438
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:47,879
Speaker 1: they'll let him sling the duke pass the football around

439
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 1: for the first three or four weeks of the season

440
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 1: and they're just gonna wait and there'll be some voodoo

441
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 1: bugoaloo that'll pop up. And not that you want Mahomes

442
00:25:57,800 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 1: to twist an ankle or Josh Allen to get a

443
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 1: case to the yips, or Lamar Jackson to pull a

444
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 1: hammy and have it go whammy. You don't want any

445
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 1: of that. However, if any of that does happen, Boom

446
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:11,199
Speaker 1: goes to dynamite. Boom goes to dynamite, and then you

447
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 1: look at I need a starter and this let me

448
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:16,959
Speaker 1: get a classic. I want a vintage. I want a

449
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 1: stratocaster at a pawn shop. That's Joe Flacco. I want

450
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:25,440
Speaker 1: the stratocaster from the pod shop. Boom, Joe Flacco, done, undone, done,

451
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 1: all right now, Page two. So what is the text message,

452
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:33,680
Speaker 1: if you will, What is the text for Brown's rookie

453
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 1: Shadur Sanders and Dylan Gabriel. What is the message the

454
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:42,440
Speaker 1: Browns are sending for them not getting the starting job

455
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:47,199
Speaker 1: and being who knows third four string? So Kevin Stevanski

456
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:50,919
Speaker 1: is sending the text message. The text message that he

457
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:56,200
Speaker 1: is sending is that hey said, listen, Shadur Sanders, Dylan Gabriel.

458
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:59,679
Speaker 1: We don't do on the job training, not right now.

459
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 1: We're not into that. That's not what we're going for.

460
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:05,919
Speaker 1: This is not a some kind of school. It's not

461
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 1: a Montassory school in the it's the AFC North and

462
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 1: we're not willing to give the keys to one of

463
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 1: you rookies. So you're sorry. That's it. We're not doing it.

464
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:20,360
Speaker 1: So Sanders and Gabriel they're still in the IKEA phase

465
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:23,879
Speaker 1: of their careers. Now what does that mean? That means

466
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:27,119
Speaker 1: some of you believe there is endless hope because you

467
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 1: think every young player is going to be great. You

468
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 1: do you tell me that when I rip prospects, you said,

469
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 1: oh my god, you were so wrong. The two things

470
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 1: that I get ripped apart most for are I would

471
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 1: trade every draft pick. I would be like, there's this

472
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 1: guy named Mike Ditka. You don't know who that is,

473
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 1: but he used to coach the football team in Chicago,

474
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:45,199
Speaker 1: and then he coached the team in New Orleans. He

475
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:47,200
Speaker 1: traded all of his draft picks one year to get

476
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 1: this running back named Ricky Williams who loved weed more

477
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 1: than football, which was a problem. But you know they

478
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 1: went for and I had no problem with that. I

479
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 1: was like, trade all the picks. So I get ripped

480
00:27:56,600 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 1: for that, Well, you know, what are you doing? Prospect

481
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,439
Speaker 1: is a suspect, that's my go to. And also I

482
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 1: get ripped for pointing out there is no such thing

483
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 1: as momentum. People get very upset, very upset because they've

484
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 1: been raised on Uncle Moe. And I say, well, Uncle

485
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 1: Mo lives in New Jersey. He used to live in Brooklyn,

486
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:18,200
Speaker 1: and Uncle Moe moved from Brooklyn to New Jersey. So

487
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:20,879
Speaker 1: I know Uncle Ma. I've not met Uncle Moe. But

488
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 1: Uncle Mo is that's a person. That's not That's not

489
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 1: a thing. Anyway. Get back to the point. So Sanders

490
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 1: and Gabriel, the rookies, they're in the IKEA phase of

491
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:30,119
Speaker 1: their careers. What does that mean there's a lot of

492
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 1: hope and all that stuff, but you need an Alan wrench.

493
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 1: You need an Alan wrench, and you got to work

494
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 1: your way through the Swedish instructions because for some reason

495
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:41,720
Speaker 1: they didn't include the English instructions. So you've got to

496
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 1: read the Swedish instructions to make it all work. And

497
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 1: Stefanskyn saying, well, we're get a build for the future,

498
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 1: but were you want these guys to watch, We want

499
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 1: them to observe what is going on and all that stuff.

500
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 1: And right now we're going with not the Ikea sofa.

501
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:00,400
Speaker 1: We're going with the sofa that we got from the

502
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 1: thrift store, the Joe Flacco sofa from the thrift store.

503
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 1: It's not about winning. It's more about optics and doing

504
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 1: what you're supposed to do. As we mentioned the word protocol,

505
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 1: you're following the protocol. It's also about those I believe showcasing.

506
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 1: This is the mannequin in the window and you're putting

507
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco out there, and you're like, all right, we'll

508
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 1: put him out there, and he's a relic and maybe

509
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 1: he'll be okay for a couple of games and all that,

510
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:31,960
Speaker 1: and he's also been to more quarterback meetings Joe Flacco

511
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 1: than Shadura Sanders has college starts by a country mile.

512
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:40,720
Speaker 1: And he's not flashy, he's not good, he's not fast. However,

513
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 1: he's familiar. It's kind of like that as you get older.

514
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 1: There's certain clothes that you keep. It's a pair of

515
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 1: shorts or some old shoes. It's just stuff that we

516
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 1: keep that fits right. It doesn't necessarily look right, but

517
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 1: it fits right. You kind of keep it around and

518
00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 1: you keep that till you check out, and then somebody

519
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 1: else has to get rid of it. But you keep

520
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 1: that to the very end of the road, when you

521
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 1: reach the end of the line. There, you keep that stuff.

522
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 1: And we've got to get all these Browns monologues in.

523
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 1: Got to get them all in. And the reason we

524
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 1: have to get them all in is because once the

525
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,960
Speaker 1: season starts, those will be poison. And we're trying to

526
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 1: get them all in right now, and then we'll meet

527
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 1: the quota that we have for our friends in Cleveland

528
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 1: and whatnot. And did get an email from God? What

529
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 1: did you stop doing the you who's listening to the

530
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 1: podcast thing? I don't know. We should do it everyone,

531
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 1: but maybe we'll do it later, all right. Final point

532
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 1: to the high speed transaction wire, the sports wire. Couple

533
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 1: of veteran name brand, name brand defensive players on the move.

534
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 1: People you've heard of, people you've heard of, on the move.

535
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 1: Zaban Howard, a longtime Miami Dolphin defensive back. He goes

536
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 1: to the Colts on a one year deal. Matthew Judan,

537
00:30:57,840 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 1: an ex pat of the last year he played with

538
00:30:59,880 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 1: the Falcons. He is off to Miami Miami, Miami Miami

539
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 1: on a one year deal. So toss up question, Zavin

540
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 1: Howard to the Colts, Matthew Judan to the Dolphins. Who

541
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 1: is more likely to make some noise in twenty twenty five?

542
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 1: So the answer to this is both of these guys

543
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 1: are dunskies. Okay, however, all right, despite the fact they've

544
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 1: got more cooties and miles than a Motel six bedspread,

545
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 1: if you know what I mean, there's a reason they

546
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 1: were both unemployed and they just agreed to contracts here

547
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 1: a couple weeks before the regular season is the Over

548
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 1: the Hill Gang. It's kind of like arguing and having

549
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:44,240
Speaker 1: some kind of debate over whether or not you want

550
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 1: to go with the commodore sixty four or the Atari

551
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 1: twenty six hundred. If you're an old school computer historian,

552
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 1: you know what I'm talking about. But you I'm not

553
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 1: play fantasy. Should I do my fantasy on the Commodore

554
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 1: or the Atari? Neither one of them. Dude is connecting

555
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 1: you to the Internet in twenty twenty five. So you're

556
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 1: shopping at best Buy and you're in the scratch and

557
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 1: dent aisle at Best Buy. You're like, there's something good

558
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 1: in there? See what's in there? What is that? What

559
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 1: is that thing of a jake? What's the watch? MC call?

560
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 1: Now that said, if I got to pick knife to

561
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 1: the throat, gun to the head, god do it. I'm

562
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 1: going with Judon. I'm going with Matthew Judon. Now, I

563
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:30,760
Speaker 1: think Miami is gonna fall off the cliff this year,

564
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 1: but I'm still taking Matthew Judon. He doesn't have to

565
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 1: be the star. They actually have some decent players on

566
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 1: that defense in Miami. Not that they are a great defense.

567
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 1: They are an average defense. You don't have to go

568
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 1: in there and be Batman. He'd be Alfred the Butler

569
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 1: in Miami. He's just another body in the dolphin rotation.

570
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 1: And if he gets a couple of sacks now, and

571
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 1: again that's great for Judon, and he'll go down there

572
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 1: in Florida and to find Ponce de Leon and on Craigslist.

573
00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 1: He'll meet with Poncetelli on the parking lot of a

574
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:05,040
Speaker 1: waffle house and he'll have some water there and boom,

575
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 1: good to go, all right at Judon is actually older

576
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 1: than Xavion Howard. He's thirty three. He just had a birthday.

577
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 1: We don't do shout outs, so if you want a

578
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 1: shout out, go to Cameo. Judon's thirty three. His last

579
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 1: good year was in twenty twenty two, and this is

580
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 1: the one last spin around the track before the wheels

581
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 1: on the bus go off the bus. The wheels on

582
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 1: the bus go off the bus, and then you got Howard,

583
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 1: who's younger. However, I have spent minutes, long minutes of

584
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 1: my time debating this, and I've determined, after a brief deliberation,

585
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 1: that it is way harder, way harder to age as

586
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:45,280
Speaker 1: a defensive back than it is as an edge rusher.

587
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 1: Meaning once you lose half a step as a defensive back,

588
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 1: forget about it, forget it, buy your toast and trying

589
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:57,960
Speaker 1: to cover Justin Jefferson with a Walker it doesn't go well.

590
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:03,360
Speaker 1: And Judon at least he moves the needle like there's

591
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 1: just age is better. It's one of those things that's

592
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 1: just your pass rusher, a situational pass rusher. It's like

593
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 1: von Miller, right, von Miller, who's not an every down player,

594
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:16,360
Speaker 1: and he's with Washington now he's assuming he's somewhat healthy,

595
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:18,520
Speaker 1: and you put him out there occasionally he'll get your

596
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:21,040
Speaker 1: two sacks in a game. And like, I look at Judah,

597
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 1: who's not as good as von Miller, but he's the

598
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 1: situational edge rusher, and he can be that guy and

599
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:27,920
Speaker 1: get a couple more years out of his career.

600
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:30,320
Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Miller

601
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:33,480
Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.

602
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:36,840
Speaker 1: Here we go, It's Miller. How about that to the

603
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:37,399
Speaker 1: third day?

604
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is one big Ben gets Graill.

605
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 6: So the Bills got beat up thirty eight nothing by

606
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 6: the Bears in a preseason matchup on Sunday, and no,

607
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:51,120
Speaker 6: it means nothing. One of my closest friends, a Bills fan,

608
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:53,800
Speaker 6: is convinced that the entire AFC East is going to

609
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:55,320
Speaker 6: take a step forward while the Bills are going to

610
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 6: take a step backwards. He's a pessimist, Ben, you agree with.

611
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:02,279
Speaker 1: Any of that. I would not base any decisions based

612
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:04,759
Speaker 1: on an exhibition game and the I watched some of

613
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:07,160
Speaker 1: that game. It was on national television for some reason,

614
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 1: and the Buffalo Bills had the chronic case of id GAF.

615
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:13,239
Speaker 1: If you know what I mean, I don't give an

616
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:15,759
Speaker 1: f and so I know, like, I think the Bills

617
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:18,719
Speaker 1: will be good in the regular season, the Jets will

618
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:21,360
Speaker 1: be mediocre, the Dolphins will get worse. I think the

619
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:23,840
Speaker 1: Patriots will be better. So I think that's how the

620
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:26,400
Speaker 1: AFC East is going to go. And they're not going

621
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 1: to fall off the map there in Buffalo, although if

622
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 1: they have that attitude, if they come out flasted like that,

623
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:35,000
Speaker 1: sure Next.

624
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:37,240
Speaker 6: Speaking of that thirty eight and o win by the Bears,

625
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:39,440
Speaker 6: I got a lot of people excited about the Ben Johnson,

626
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 6: Caleb Williams parent.

627
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:42,439
Speaker 1: You're Gene in Chicago so excited, right Yeah.

628
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:45,440
Speaker 6: After Williams had a few quote big time throws.

629
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:48,880
Speaker 1: G manas also fired up. Is this year? Is this

630
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:52,200
Speaker 1: year gonna look better for the former Trojan Well.

631
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 2: I don't.

632
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:55,960
Speaker 1: I don't buy the Bears. I'm not on board with

633
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:59,080
Speaker 1: the Bears. I'm not like he had good numbers other

634
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:01,880
Speaker 1: than the sack thing last year. I think the Bears

635
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:04,280
Speaker 1: will be a mediocre team. I think they'll be about

636
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:06,440
Speaker 1: where they were when they had Mitch Trubisky, where you're

637
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:09,839
Speaker 1: in that nine eight, nine, ten win area where you're

638
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:12,359
Speaker 1: kind of a fringe contender for the playoffs, where you're

639
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:13,719
Speaker 1: not really next.

640
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:16,400
Speaker 6: So the Bengals aren't the only ones listening to trade offers,

641
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:18,879
Speaker 6: as it was reported that the Commanders are shopping. They're

642
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:22,680
Speaker 6: starting running back Brian Robinson junior benjam Commander's fans start

Speaker 6: to worry about the developments in DC.

644
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 1: No, they should be I'm okay with this, Like the

645
00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:30,160
Speaker 1: running back thing is a replaceable position, coop. Brian Robinson's

646

Speaker 1: in the last year, coming up on the last year

647
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:32,920
