Joe Burrow best Borough interview yet he became 16 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:08,039 Speaker 1: tight with rap legend Kid Cutty and I know my 17 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:12,399 Speaker 1: rap It's obvious. He talks about two of concussions that 18 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:16,640 Speaker 1: made news plush the Action Networks. Chad Milman Sharper Square 19 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,480 Speaker 1: my best bets for Week five, first though Top takes 20 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:25,959 Speaker 1: of the week. So a story was reported yesterday New 21 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 1: York Post page six that Tom Brady and Giselle Bunch 22 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 1: and his wife have sought divorce attorneys. Generally speaking, in 23 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:37,920 Speaker 1: celebrity marriages, you all know this. For them to work, 24 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:43,120 Speaker 1: somebody sacrifices. You know, Paul Newman, Joanna Woodward lasted forever. 25 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 1: She sacrificed her career, Tom Hanks, Rita Hanks, She's probably 26 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 1: sacrificed some of her career. The fact that Giselle was 27 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 1: a top two to three supermodel, Brady a top two 28 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 1: or three quarterback when they met, and it lasted thirteen 29 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 1: years before they sought divorce attorneys is kind of surprising 30 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 1: because there weren't issues earlier. You know, Gazelle has done 31 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,519 Speaker 1: a lot of the sacrificing. But what makes this really 32 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 1: unique is, you know, the old rule in sports is 33 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 1: keep doing it until you do it poorly. And I'm 34 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 1: watching Brady perform against Kansas City, and Kansas City's run 35 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:26,799 Speaker 1: defense is really good, so Brady had to throw it 36 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 1: like fifty times. I swear to God, his accuracy and 37 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 1: his velocity is as good or better than it was 38 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 1: ten years ago. I mean, if you ask a supermodel 39 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: who is still getting covers and endorsements. Hanger up. Why 40 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 1: if Steph Curry great relationship, happily married, was averaging twenty 41 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 1: nine a game and his wife said stopped playing basketball, 42 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:59,800 Speaker 1: He'd be like, why, We've never seen anything like this. 43 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 1: Older players look old. Big Ben looked old. Far played old. 44 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,239 Speaker 1: I saw Michael Jordan as a member of the Wizards. 45 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 1: He could score twenty five, but he wasn't his vertical 46 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:15,639 Speaker 1: Kobe couldn't really defend at the end. Shack fell apart. Physically. 47 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,639 Speaker 1: Every player in my life, even Lebron now struggles to 48 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 1: stay healthy, can play in spurts, but you're not getting 49 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 1: thirty eight minutes. Tom Brady, I mean, if I said 50 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:32,360 Speaker 1: to you right now, ninety seconds left Super Bowl, what 51 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 1: quarterback outside of Patrick Mahomes that would be my number one? 52 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 1: Would you take over? Brady? I go Mahomes one. Josh 53 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: Allen Brady tied for two. Seriously, So you know my 54 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 1: wife in the Brady Gezelle marriage, my wife Anze was like, well, 55 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 1: she sacrificed for him for fifteen years. It's his turn. 56 00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 1: And my takeaway is, yes, you're right, But to ask 57 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 1: a supermodel or a star quarterback when they're still getting 58 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 1: magazine covers. Hey, could you hang it up? I think 59 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 1: it's really really hard. I also think what makes it tougher. 60 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:19,600 Speaker 1: Tom is generally realistic about his career. Look at the 61 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 1: NFC right now. He looks around the NFC and says, 62 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 1: the best team may be led by Jimmy Garoppolo or 63 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:32,039 Speaker 1: led by Jalen Hurts. He's thinking, that's who I'm gonna 64 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,839 Speaker 1: end up against in the NFC Championship. It's one thing 65 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 1: if it's Alan Lamar, Herbert Burrow, Mahomes. He's looking around 66 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 1: thinking Jalen Hurts. As a kid, you've never been in 67 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: a game like that. Garoppolo was my backup. So, like, 68 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:52,039 Speaker 1: I get it the NFC right now, I mean Aaron Rodgers. 69 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 1: You think Tom Brady fears that team They almost took 70 00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,799 Speaker 1: him to overtime. He didn't have Mike Evans, Chris Godwin 71 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:05,040 Speaker 1: or Julio Jones. So I think Brady's looking around, going, honey, 72 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 1: I'm still getting magazine covers. I still want to play. 73 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,120 Speaker 1: I'm still great. I think it's harder than we imagine, 74 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 1: just because you've done something a long time. Listen, I'm 75 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,839 Speaker 1: in my fifties and I kind of think like I 76 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,480 Speaker 1: just made the turn. This is my tenth hole, right, 77 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 1: maybe my eleven. But in like ten years, if I'm 78 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 1: like mid sixties and I still feel like I feel 79 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 1: and I'm still beloved by America, I'm gonna be like, well, 80 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,919 Speaker 1: what do you want me to do? I don't whittle, 81 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 1: I get bored with backgammon. Well what do you want 82 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,360 Speaker 1: me to do? I mean, Brady's kids aren't four, they're 83 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 1: getting close to having their license. They've got social lives. 84 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 1: So I know you can position it as Tom should 85 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,279 Speaker 1: sacrifice more, and Tom is selfish. It'd make it a 86 00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 1: lot easier. If he was as good as Annie Dalton 87 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:05,159 Speaker 1: right now, it would make it much easier. But he's 88 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 1: literally outside of my homes. I'm not sure there's a 89 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 1: quarterback in the league I would want with a ball 90 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: a minute thirty in a Super Bowl more than Tom. 91 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 1: Maybe Josh Allen, But Josh Allen hasn't won a lot 92 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 1: of those big games. He's just been in him, So 93 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:25,280 Speaker 1: I think it's hard. Like Steph Curry, I'm great, I'm 94 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 1: dominating games, I'm winning finals, MVP. He has a great relationship. 95 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 1: If that's not the time you bow out right, you 96 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 1: bow out after your fourth knee surgery. In the NBA, 97 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 1: once you have to wear two knee braces, it's time. 98 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,279 Speaker 1: Like Brady hasn't gone to a first knee brace yet. 99 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 1: So I do a weekly interview now with Sean Payton 100 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,920 Speaker 1: and pick his brain and it's really as much fun 101 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 1: as I have during the week. I do it on 102 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 1: FS one and on my syndicated Ready Show for about 103 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:06,480 Speaker 1: twenty five minutes. He's such a smart guy and the 104 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 1: NFL is very much and this has changed in my life. 105 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 1: There is one way to win now. You have to 106 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 1: have an elite quarterback. Period. You probably have to have 107 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 1: in most cases an offensive coach. Belichick now struggling, right, 108 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 1: So you can win with a defensive coach if you 109 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 1: have a Josh Allen. I'm I'm not saying it's impossible, 110 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,679 Speaker 1: but the defensive coaches, as we've talked to ad nauseum, 111 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 1: are struggling over the last several years as the league 112 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 1: is pivoted to an offensive league. There used to be 113 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:43,840 Speaker 1: an understanding that an NFL job, the pension was better, 114 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:47,559 Speaker 1: the pay was better, was always better than a college job. 115 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 1: But you know, I look around and as the league 116 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 1: has become so quarterback centric. I think Sean Payton retired 117 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 1: because he knew even he couldn't win with like Jameis Winston, 118 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 1: he couldn't win. It's to me the downside of the NFL. Like, 119 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 1: if you're Lincoln Riley right now or Nick Saban, what's 120 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 1: appealing about the NFL. Tell me the job that is 121 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 1: open right now in the National Football League that Saban 122 00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 1: or Lincoln Riley could go in and feel they have 123 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 1: a top seven or eight quarterback. Okay, Niners have a 124 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:33,200 Speaker 1: great roster. They're not getting rid of Shanahan. McVeigh has 125 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 1: one of those quarterbacks. Rams aren't getting rid of him. 126 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 1: Andy Reid's not retiring Either's John Harbaugh. Sean McDermott safe 127 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 1: in Buffalo. The only job in the NFL that is 128 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 1: really interesting to me that could be open if Brandon's 129 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,840 Speaker 1: Daley doesn't get Justin Herbert to the playoffs for the 130 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 1: second straight year, that job may be open. But you 131 00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:02,680 Speaker 1: don't control your personnel you do in college seventeen games now, 132 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,560 Speaker 1: I mean, the Giants and the Patriots are already on 133 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 1: third string quarterbacks. So there's this convergence of weird things. 134 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:16,840 Speaker 1: Quarterbacks matter more than ever in the NFL, But offensive 135 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 1: line play protecting those quarterbacks is now worse because starters 136 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:25,080 Speaker 1: don't play in the preseason, meaning more soft tissue injuries 137 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:26,960 Speaker 1: to a lineman in the first month and a half, 138 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:31,200 Speaker 1: meaning quarterbacks get hit more. Quarterbacks get hurt more. I 139 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 1: mean the Patriots and Giants on third string quarterbacks. It's 140 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:39,480 Speaker 1: early October, so you know, I look around and I think, 141 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 1: what job is better in the world for Lincoln Riley 142 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 1: outside of USC the Chargers. Now, you'd be the second 143 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 1: biggest team in your own stadium, but you'd have Justin 144 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:57,760 Speaker 1: Herbert in the ability to play at the highest level. 145 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 1: But the great quarterbacks mostly right now, have the right 146 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 1: coaches as the league becomes more quarterback centric. If you 147 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,680 Speaker 1: don't have one, you have really it's a three year job. 148 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,559 Speaker 1: If by year three you're not getting to the playoffs 149 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:16,960 Speaker 1: year out, I mean, good god. Three games in Josh 150 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 1: McDaniel had a private meeting with the Reigners owner Mark Davis. 151 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 1: I think there's arguments it's almost a fifty fifty split. 152 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 1: To me, if you told me the ten best football 153 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:33,600 Speaker 1: jobs in America, Okay, Kansas City's number one, Buffalo maybe 154 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 1: number two right right now? Because you have great young 155 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 1: star quarterbacks. Then Nick Saban, maybe three, Lincoln Riley if 156 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 1: he gets it right, Ryan Day. You control your personnel, 157 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 1: you're gonna win minimum ten games. You're the most popular 158 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 1: person in the state. You don't have a billionaire. You 159 00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 1: get twenty five first round picks every year. There's the 160 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:04,320 Speaker 1: best jobs in the world for football coaching are in 161 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 1: the NFL, and there's four of them. But there's a 162 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 1: reason Sean Payton stepped down. Even Sean Payton, a top 163 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,960 Speaker 1: ten offensive coach in my opinion all time, can't win 164 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 1: in this league if you don't have an a list 165 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 1: or taking snaps you can in college.

So what did you do? 209 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:54,880 Speaker 1: What did you do with an extra day off? What 210 00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 1: are you doing? Cincinnati?

So let's start with this. 215 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 1: So you you have style. I don't um. You came 216 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 1: into the game with the Dolphins with an outfit that 217 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 1: if I wore it, my wife wouldn't let me out 218 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 1: of the house. I mean, seriously, you wore it and 219 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 1: it looks cool. So take me to where you got it, 220 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 1: the decision and the moment you're like, here's my credit card, 221 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 1: I'm buying it. I don't know. I was. I was 222 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 1: in California. That's usually where I go to do shopping 223 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 1: for the season outfits. Um, I don't know. I like flowers, 224 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:44,040 Speaker 1: I like nature. I saw it. I thought it was cool. 225 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 1: I don't know's there's not too much thought that goes 226 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 1: into it. If I see something like I get it 227 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 1: and I plan on wearing it at some point. Okay, 228 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,240 Speaker 1: here's here's a moment into my life. So my mom 229 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 1: was British. She loved the garden. The only time my 230 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,400 Speaker 1: mom ever got mad to school teacher. So it was 231 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 1: like third grade. I remember this, and our teacher, Lois Lane, 232 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:09,480 Speaker 1: told us to draw what you did this summer saw 233 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,080 Speaker 1: a little boy. This is back in the seventies, and 234 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 1: my mom was in the garden all summer, so I'd 235 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 1: hang out in the garden, make forts, you know, through 236 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 1: the garden. So I drew flowers, and my teacher said, 237 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 1: in front of the other kids, boys don't draw flowers. 238 00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:28,280 Speaker 1: It is the only time my mom was pissed and 239 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,440 Speaker 1: called a school. So the fact that you like flowers 240 00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 1: and you're secure with it, it warms my heart. Where 241 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 1: does it come from? I don't know, I mean doesn't 242 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:40,920 Speaker 1: I think everybody does deep down if they don't want 243 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 1: to admit it. I don't know where it started that 244 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 1: you can only give girls flowers. If I got flowers, 245 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:52,800 Speaker 1: I would be pumped, like somebody came to me after 246 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 1: a game, like, hey, great game, here's a rose. That'd 247 00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 1: be I'd be excited about that, thank you. Yeah, all right, 248 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:05,720 Speaker 1: don't spec one from von Miller Way, probably won't get 249 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 1: one from Vaughan. So let's be serious for a second. 250 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:13,400 Speaker 1: On the on the two injury. Listen, there's levels of 251 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 1: courage in America. There's a fireman or a cop. That's 252 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 1: a level of courage that I think I don't personally 253 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 1: running into a burning building. I don't even know how 254 00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,600 Speaker 1: to quantify that. Then there's the courage to be a 255 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:31,000 Speaker 1: UFC fighter, be a professional football player. So when I'm 256 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:35,800 Speaker 1: watching too, ah, I'm thinking, oh, brother, you're sitting there 257 00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 1: for fifteen minutes watching it, Joe, what's going through your mind? 258 00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 1: I mean, it's scary whenever. I mean, everybody knows the 259 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:47,040 Speaker 1: profession that we do is a dangerous game. That's always 260 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 1: a possibility, But then when it happens, you kind of 261 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 1: just collectively hold your breath in one hope that he's 262 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 1: okay too, that they can get him to a hospital safe, 263 00:16:57,920 --> 00:16:59,880 Speaker 1: because whenever something like that happens, you know he's going 264 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 1: the hospital. And three he can come back eventually and 265 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:09,760 Speaker 1: have a normal life and a career, which sounds like 266 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:13,080 Speaker 1: fortunately he's going to be able to. Then the game 267 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:16,080 Speaker 1: starts and you got a new quarterback out there, and 268 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,960 Speaker 1: one I thought Teddy did a really really good job 269 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,000 Speaker 1: when he was in there. I mean I told him 270 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,320 Speaker 1: after the game, unbelievably tough spot to be thrown into 271 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:29,480 Speaker 1: new team, new offense. The starter goes down with a 272 00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:31,640 Speaker 1: really really tough injury, you get thrown in on Thursday 273 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:35,200 Speaker 1: Night football, and I thought he played really well. Yeah, Joe, 274 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:36,840 Speaker 1: have you ever had your bell rung? Do you think 275 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:40,880 Speaker 1: you've ever been concussed? Yeah? For sure you have. Yeah. 276 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:44,199 Speaker 1: I think everybody has to play this game. Take me 277 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:49,640 Speaker 1: to the moment. What is it like? I don't know. Um, 278 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:53,919 Speaker 1: it's hard to say. Just you get you start to 279 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:57,959 Speaker 1: ring a little bit. I have never had any like 280 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:02,320 Speaker 1: lasting effects from a con I've I've been hit and 281 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,119 Speaker 1: forgot the rest of the game before. That's happened a 282 00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:08,479 Speaker 1: couple of times, but I've never had one where I 283 00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:12,560 Speaker 1: have headaches for like a week and I have symptoms 284 00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,960 Speaker 1: of concussion after the game. Like I said, I've had 285 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 1: somewhere you know, I don't remember the second half, or 286 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:22,120 Speaker 1: I don't remember the entire game, or I know that 287 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:24,480 Speaker 1: I got a little busy at one point, but nothing, 288 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:29,240 Speaker 1: nothing last long lasting. So I mean that's pretty remarkable, Joe, 289 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:33,320 Speaker 1: for somebody with your mind that, whether it was high 290 00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:35,480 Speaker 1: school or college, that you don't remember a second half, 291 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:37,879 Speaker 1: like when you look back at that, does that create 292 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:41,000 Speaker 1: anxiety for you or do you like believe it's going 293 00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:42,760 Speaker 1: to happen if you're a quarterback two or three times 294 00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 1: in your career. I think that's I mean, you can, 295 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,640 Speaker 1: you can make all the rules you want to make 296 00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 1: the game as safe as you possibly can, but there's 297 00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 1: an inherent risk and danger with the game of football. 298 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,800 Speaker 1: You're gonna have you have three hundred pound men running 299 00:18:57,840 --> 00:18:59,880 Speaker 1: twenty miles an hour trying to take your head off. 300 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,680 Speaker 1: You're standing still, trying to ignore it and find receivers 301 00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:04,480 Speaker 1: that are open. And then sometimes you gotta go run 302 00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:06,320 Speaker 1: and try to get it first down and you're running 303 00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,440 Speaker 1: twenty miles an hour and somebody else has round twenty 304 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,399 Speaker 1: two miles an hour and you gotta try to get 305 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:12,680 Speaker 1: the first down. That's part of the game. I think 306 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:15,840 Speaker 1: part of what we signed up for. You know, you're 307 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:17,919 Speaker 1: gonna have head injuries, you're gonna tear your racio, you're 308 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:21,120 Speaker 1: gonna break your arm. That's the game that we play, 309 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,560 Speaker 1: that's the life that we live, and we get paid 310 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 1: handsomely for it. And so I'm I think going into 311 00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,960 Speaker 1: every game and you know, we know what we're getting 312 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:34,840 Speaker 1: ourselves into. So I said to you, A lake was 313 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,720 Speaker 1: last week. I watched the second half against Dallas and 314 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,760 Speaker 1: I felt, despite losing the game, I felt they got 315 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,920 Speaker 1: it right they're fine, and I really felt it. I 316 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:45,920 Speaker 1: really felt this week I had sat on the air. 317 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:49,720 Speaker 1: I this was my favorite quote bat of the year. 318 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,199 Speaker 1: I'm like, since Miami's gonna run out of gas end 319 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:54,399 Speaker 1: of the third quarter, those dbs are gonna get tired. 320 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:58,679 Speaker 1: They played ninety plays, but seven sacks, six sacks, two sacks, 321 00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,680 Speaker 1: one sack. So obviously in your last like ten quarters, 322 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:05,199 Speaker 1: eight quarters, the protection has improved. So explain this to 323 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:08,600 Speaker 1: the audience. Some of that is you working. I mean, 324 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:11,679 Speaker 1: the offensive linemen are the same, So explain to me 325 00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 1: in our audience, how the protections better? Is it? The 326 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:23,359 Speaker 1: choreography is it? The offensive line gets your temple? Why 327 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:26,400 Speaker 1: is it better because it's the same guys. Well, first 328 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:29,720 Speaker 1: of all, we got guys up front that are majority 329 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 1: veterans in the league who we're finding their footing on 330 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:37,040 Speaker 1: a new team and a new offense and work really 331 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:40,439 Speaker 1: hard every day to get better too. I've done a 332 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:45,439 Speaker 1: better job of reading defenses, finding my outlet fast. And 333 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:49,600 Speaker 1: when you get the ball out quickly, it's gonna make 334 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:55,400 Speaker 1: the rush not as intense because you know they're they're 335 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 1: getting You're getting the ball off fast, They're not getting 336 00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 1: to the quarterback. Then they get frustrated and maybe they're 337 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:02,359 Speaker 1: trying to tip some balls now at the blind of 338 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:06,080 Speaker 1: scrimmage instead of rushing the passer. And so I'm doing 339 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:07,800 Speaker 1: a better job. And then we're also doing a better 340 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:12,639 Speaker 1: job overall getting to plays where I have more outlets 341 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:14,880 Speaker 1: faster that I can get to, and then we're taking 342 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,920 Speaker 1: our downfield opportunities when they're there. So they are playing 343 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 1: much better, so am I. We're just cohesively as a 344 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:24,760 Speaker 1: unit performing much better than when we're in the first 345 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:28,440 Speaker 1: two games. I hear this narrative take away the deep 346 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:33,080 Speaker 1: ball on Burrow and Mahomes, and it took Patrick. I 347 00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:36,480 Speaker 1: think it took eight seven eight games for Patrick to 348 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 1: go okay, I gotta be patient. So now people have said, okay, 349 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 1: Burrows a great deep ball thrower, which, by the way, 350 00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:45,240 Speaker 1: there's not many in the league, to be honest, there's 351 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:48,879 Speaker 1: six to eight. You're one of them. So you know 352 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:52,520 Speaker 1: you've got Jamar Chase te Higgins. And people are now saying, no, 353 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 1: you gonna have to be patient. We're not giving you that. 354 00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 1: Is that a struggle for you? Do you identify it 355 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 1: very quickly in your progressions? Can you see before the 356 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:05,760 Speaker 1: ball stap take me to that. Yeah, you can tell 357 00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:07,080 Speaker 1: at the beginning of the game what kind of game 358 00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:10,400 Speaker 1: it's going to be. And you know, the Dolphins came 359 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:12,880 Speaker 1: out early on Thursday and played us in a lot 360 00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 1: of soft zone. We're taking eight yards here, thirteen yards there, 361 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,560 Speaker 1: four yards here, and I think they got kind of 362 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:22,520 Speaker 1: frustrated with that, and at the end of the game 363 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,440 Speaker 1: they played majority man to man coverage. They were also 364 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,000 Speaker 1: down at the end of the game, which is in 365 00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:31,960 Speaker 1: our favor. Makes the defense become more aggressive, and that 366 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,040 Speaker 1: was the problem in the first two games were we 367 00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:36,360 Speaker 1: never had a lead. Defenses could just play that soft 368 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,560 Speaker 1: zone and keep everything in front and let the time 369 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,000 Speaker 1: take away. You know, when you jump out on people 370 00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:46,399 Speaker 1: and you're performing well early in the games, teams are 371 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:48,000 Speaker 1: going to have to be more aggressive and that's when 372 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:53,399 Speaker 1: we take our opportunities. So you played the Ravens this week. 373 00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:56,959 Speaker 1: Did you watch any of the Rams Niners game on Monday? 374 00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:02,080 Speaker 1: I did. It's so obvious their division rivals. It's so pissy, 375 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:06,359 Speaker 1: it's so chippy. I mean, you're facing these guys looks 376 00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:09,120 Speaker 1: like the eighth time you face the same rush end. 377 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:16,280 Speaker 1: So with Baltimore, it's an intense organization. So you know, 378 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:18,480 Speaker 1: you talked about this two weeks ago. You're like, it's 379 00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:23,439 Speaker 1: just different. It's just it feels different. They have some 380 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,639 Speaker 1: new faces on the back end, though, I mean, take 381 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:31,520 Speaker 1: me to preparation for a division rival. Does Zach Taylor 382 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:35,159 Speaker 1: talk about it, you know the weaknesses? Is it a 383 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:40,480 Speaker 1: completely different feel in the week? Yes, and yeah it 384 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:44,280 Speaker 1: is because you know what they've done game to game 385 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:46,879 Speaker 1: throughout your career, and you know that they're always going 386 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,199 Speaker 1: to have a new wrinkle to what they're doing. So 387 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:51,040 Speaker 1: you go back and watch your games from the past 388 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 1: and you think, you know, how might if I was 389 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:56,560 Speaker 1: a defense, how would I try to stop this team? 390 00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:58,600 Speaker 1: And then you look at their defense, what they've been 391 00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 1: doing and how they could do it with that scheme. 392 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:05,000 Speaker 1: It's always tough because there's good coaches across all the league, 393 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:07,119 Speaker 1: and you know you're gonna get something different when you're 394 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:08,840 Speaker 1: playing in the division because you play so much so 395 00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:12,920 Speaker 1: they understand you, you understand them, and you know, let's 396 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:14,400 Speaker 1: be honest, last year, at the end of the year, 397 00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:17,199 Speaker 1: they didn't have all their horses. No, they have all 398 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:20,159 Speaker 1: their corners back, they got new safeties, their pass rushes 399 00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 1: playing well. They got their linebackers back, and so we 400 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:25,480 Speaker 1: know it's gonna be a dog fight. They're going to 401 00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:28,439 Speaker 1: be prepared, they got a great secondary. I know our 402 00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:29,840 Speaker 1: guys are going to be up for the task, but 403 00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:32,200 Speaker 1: we know it's gonna be a challenge. Do you think 404 00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:36,000 Speaker 1: you tell me what feels more intense LSU Bama, Ohio State, 405 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:39,160 Speaker 1: Michigan or like Bengals Ravens. Is there a different feel 406 00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:42,160 Speaker 1: or are they the same? The NFL has always had 407 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:45,600 Speaker 1: a different field in college. College was I felt like 408 00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:49,280 Speaker 1: played more on emotion. In the NFL has played more on, 409 00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:54,159 Speaker 1: you know, being technical and understanding your assignment. So I 410 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:57,800 Speaker 1: would say college always had a different feel. Yeah, So 411 00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:02,240 Speaker 1: it's interesting. People are now trying to take away Jamar 412 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:06,639 Speaker 1: Chase a lot, and I remember Dez Bryant and Dak. 413 00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:09,439 Speaker 1: Dez got really frustrated. Now, I think Jamar is faster 414 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:11,840 Speaker 1: than Dez Bryant, so he has the ability to get 415 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,919 Speaker 1: open deep more often. But they're both big play guys, 416 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,280 Speaker 1: and there were times that Dez really lashed out at 417 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:22,200 Speaker 1: Dak on the sidelines. So you and Jamar are pretty tight. 418 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 1: But you're sensing now I'm sensing bracket coverage, people shading 419 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,600 Speaker 1: stuff over to Jamar, which is ultimately a compliment, But 420 00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:35,000 Speaker 1: how do you alleviate him. It's just natural he wants 421 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,440 Speaker 1: the ball when he touches that it's magic. People don't 422 00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:39,639 Speaker 1: want him to have the ball, Like do you have 423 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:43,160 Speaker 1: to kind of sometimes massage that relationship because you get 424 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:45,880 Speaker 1: to touch the ball every down. I mean people are 425 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:51,320 Speaker 1: trying to literally just take the throws away to him. Yeah, 426 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:54,040 Speaker 1: it's As a quarterback, part of your job is managing 427 00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:58,280 Speaker 1: the personalities in the walker room. Unfortunately, for me, the 428 00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:02,520 Speaker 1: personalities and the receiver room are the best that I've 429 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:05,560 Speaker 1: been around. There's no ego from any of them. And 430 00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:08,200 Speaker 1: obviously they all want their touches and they all want 431 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:11,119 Speaker 1: to score touchdowns, but they're all just as happy to 432 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:14,840 Speaker 1: see each other succeed as they would be themselves. And 433 00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:18,439 Speaker 1: you know, Jamar is a great person, hard worker that 434 00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:20,520 Speaker 1: you know, if I don't get him the ball for 435 00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:22,080 Speaker 1: a quarter, he's not going to come and cuss me 436 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:25,560 Speaker 1: out on the sideline. We have a relationship that you know, 437 00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:27,520 Speaker 1: we can just say one or two things to each 438 00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:31,600 Speaker 1: other that you know, a lot doesn't need to be said. 439 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:34,199 Speaker 1: We just give each other a look and we understand it. 440 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,639 Speaker 1: And so you know, we've been around each other long 441 00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:38,439 Speaker 1: enough that that's the case, and we have trust in 442 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,760 Speaker 1: each other that I know he's going to get open 443 00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,560 Speaker 1: and be where he's supposed to, and he has trusted 444 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:46,199 Speaker 1: me that I'm going to read the coverage correctly and 445 00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:48,240 Speaker 1: get the ball to where it's supposed to go. And 446 00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:51,600 Speaker 1: so you know, he got him and he's being doubled 447 00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 1: every every play almost and he hasn't been We've been 448 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:58,720 Speaker 1: able to to get the ball to him. We probably 449 00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:00,800 Speaker 1: need to do a better off of that, just because 450 00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:03,680 Speaker 1: of how explosive he is with the ball in his hands. 451 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:06,720 Speaker 1: Get creative, find ways to move around and get him 452 00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:09,200 Speaker 1: the ball. But he's not the kind of guy that's 453 00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:13,320 Speaker 1: gonna go off on somebody on the sideline. He's gonna 454 00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,520 Speaker 1: tell you what he needs and and make it clear, 455 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:18,119 Speaker 1: but he's not going to make a big show of it. 456 00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:21,880 Speaker 1: You know, when I grew up, Joe, there were no 457 00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:25,399 Speaker 1: back shoulder throws. That didn't exist. And then at some point, 458 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:26,919 Speaker 1: I don't know who the first to do it. Some 459 00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:29,400 Speaker 1: say it was Marino, some say it was Aaron Rodgers. 460 00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:33,240 Speaker 1: Fifteen years ago that you throw a ball to a 461 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:38,320 Speaker 1: guy that's covered. So you're really young in high school? 462 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,760 Speaker 1: Did you have back shoulder throws? Was it okay? So 463 00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:44,159 Speaker 1: that's what I thought so at the end of year, 464 00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:48,000 Speaker 1: So I would say, do you remember the first back 465 00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:51,880 Speaker 1: shoulder throw in a game live? Who was against? Who? 466 00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:55,800 Speaker 1: It was too? No? I don't remember the first one, 467 00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:58,639 Speaker 1: but I can. I mean in high school, I just 468 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:02,520 Speaker 1: couldn't make that throw. That's really helped the bank. It's 469 00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,920 Speaker 1: you know, the back shoulder throw that I'm thinking of. 470 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:10,879 Speaker 1: Isn't the one forty yards down the field that you 471 00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:12,600 Speaker 1: just gave your guy a chance and he does a 472 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:17,200 Speaker 1: great job of giving late hands and adjusting to the football. 473 00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:19,520 Speaker 1: I'm talking to the one that's like fifteen yards down 474 00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:23,800 Speaker 1: the field. That is really a timing ball placement throw. 475 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:26,679 Speaker 1: And that's something that you have to work over and 476 00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:30,640 Speaker 1: over and over and over because there's a certain time 477 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:32,959 Speaker 1: where the receiver has to get his eyes around and 478 00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:36,080 Speaker 1: he has to read where the defender is on his hip? 479 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:38,000 Speaker 1: Is he high hip? Is he low hip? Is he 480 00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:40,720 Speaker 1: even with me? Where can I expect this ball? And 481 00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,760 Speaker 1: you know, I was really me and T actually worked 482 00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:45,960 Speaker 1: on haven't worked on this a ton and before the 483 00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:49,040 Speaker 1: Jets game. We missed a couple in the Dallas game, 484 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:51,120 Speaker 1: and so the week after, like, hey, we got to 485 00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:55,000 Speaker 1: get these these back shoulder throws down, and so we 486 00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,200 Speaker 1: worked them all week and then they showed up on Sunday. 487 00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:58,960 Speaker 1: We hit two of them, and that was awesome to 488 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:00,760 Speaker 1: see when you put in the world like that to 489 00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:02,280 Speaker 1: have a show up on the field because you work 490 00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:04,960 Speaker 1: so hard and so we're excited about that, and I 491 00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:07,280 Speaker 1: think that just shows how how much work it that 492 00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:11,480 Speaker 1: that throw really does take. I had this discussion the 493 00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:15,280 Speaker 1: other day with my wife that I think the single 494 00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:19,760 Speaker 1: biggest crisis in America is mental health for fourteen to 495 00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:22,440 Speaker 1: twenty four year old kids. I have a sixteen year 496 00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:26,560 Speaker 1: old son a twenty two year old daughter. I better 497 00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:29,840 Speaker 1: get that right twenty two. You guys just edit whatever 498 00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:34,320 Speaker 1: I'll figure out. After you just started your foundation today. 499 00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:38,280 Speaker 1: A big component to it is mental illness. I really 500 00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:42,160 Speaker 1: saw it during the pandemic, where my son's not overly 501 00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:46,760 Speaker 1: social my daughter is, so he flourished in that time 502 00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:51,880 Speaker 1: my daughter didn't. So you could have done this foundation 503 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:53,680 Speaker 1: for a lot of things that you went right after. 504 00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:58,400 Speaker 1: The mental health part of this explain your foundation. Yeah, 505 00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:00,480 Speaker 1: it's something that we've been thinking about for a while, 506 00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:04,320 Speaker 1: ever since my highsman speech that raised so much money 507 00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:07,960 Speaker 1: from my area and food insecurity. You know, there was 508 00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:12,320 Speaker 1: so much money going to that that they were able 509 00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:14,680 Speaker 1: to spread that around to the surrounding counties and the 510 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:20,920 Speaker 1: surrounding area, and so I felt obligated to start something 511 00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:26,520 Speaker 1: of my own and have a focus on food insecurity 512 00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:29,240 Speaker 1: and mental health that I think could help a lot 513 00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:30,920 Speaker 1: of people. And we're not just going to be focusing 514 00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,520 Speaker 1: on that. We're going to be serving a lot of 515 00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:41,640 Speaker 1: underprivileged families and communities around the country. Ohio, Southeast Ohio, Cincinnati, Louisiana, 516 00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:43,280 Speaker 1: all these places that I think we can do a 517 00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:45,600 Speaker 1: lot of good. You can go donate at Joe Burrow 518 00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:50,560 Speaker 1: dot org. I think I'm really passionate about about this. 519 00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:55,280 Speaker 1: I've seen all the good that has come from foundations 520 00:30:55,600 --> 00:31:00,480 Speaker 1: like mine, and I think not just my area, but 521 00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:02,040 Speaker 1: across the country it's going to be a great thing. 522 00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:06,720 Speaker 1: So as uncool as I may appear, I know who 523 00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:11,200 Speaker 1: Kid Cutty is, and you're now he I don't know 524 00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:14,680 Speaker 1: your relationship, but he has has lyrics, he has a 525 00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:18,360 Speaker 1: new song and you're in it. Yeah, all right, so 526 00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:25,040 Speaker 1: I imagine you're fairly tight. So first explain the relationship. Well, 527 00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:29,120 Speaker 1: he was so he was growing up. He was the 528 00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:32,240 Speaker 1: music that I listened to, you know, sixth seventh, eighth grade, 529 00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:34,960 Speaker 1: when you're finally starting to figure out your own taste, 530 00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:36,640 Speaker 1: you're not just listening to the same music that your 531 00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:40,000 Speaker 1: parents were and not so you do growing up. So 532 00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:43,000 Speaker 1: I listened to you know, Crosbie Stills and Nash because 533 00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:45,080 Speaker 1: my dad liked him and all that stuff. And then 534 00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:48,520 Speaker 1: you know, you start to mature and I started to 535 00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:51,160 Speaker 1: like Kid Cutty and that's the music that I grew 536 00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:55,960 Speaker 1: up on and found myself personally listening to all the time. 537 00:31:56,680 --> 00:32:01,200 Speaker 1: And then he reached out before I got drafted to Cincinnati, 538 00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:04,880 Speaker 1: and we've kind of kept this relationship going. We're friends now. 539 00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:08,160 Speaker 1: He told me he was going to make this song. 540 00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:10,840 Speaker 1: You know, we hung out together after the Super Bowl. 541 00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:13,240 Speaker 1: He kind of cheered me up after that, and so 542 00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:16,040 Speaker 1: we have this relationship that has continued for a couple 543 00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:17,920 Speaker 1: of years, and it's exciting for me. He's been a 544 00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:20,720 Speaker 1: good friend. He's helped me a lot, and I'm lucky 545 00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:23,840 Speaker 1: to have a guy like that. I mean, you're both performers. 546 00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:29,400 Speaker 1: I'm not an envious person, but I will admit I 547 00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:34,560 Speaker 1: have gone to concerts and thought, damn, that is cool. Yeah, 548 00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:37,080 Speaker 1: I mean right, like you've you've gotten to a concert 549 00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:41,280 Speaker 1: and thought just to own the crowd, right, Yeah, it's awesome. 550 00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:45,240 Speaker 1: It would be an exhausting lifestyle, all the travel movie 551 00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:47,920 Speaker 1: you have to do. I mean, they're on tour for 552 00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:51,400 Speaker 1: six months at a time, just sit sitting in a 553 00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:56,960 Speaker 1: bus eating fast food. But it would definitely be exciting. Okay, 554 00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:59,120 Speaker 1: I'm gonna play a little game here. It's called finish 555 00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:03,120 Speaker 1: the kid cutty leer game. All right, Okay, okay, Joe, 556 00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:05,520 Speaker 1: I'm not cool. I'll do the best I can.

Yeah, I'll 559 00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:18,280 Speaker 1: tell you what. It's a lot tougher to figure out 560 00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:20,520 Speaker 1: what song it is when you're singing it then when 561 00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:26,440 Speaker 1: he Okay, let me let me try one more. Tell 562 00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:29,400 Speaker 1: me what you know about dreaming? Dreaming? You don't really 563 00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:34,840 Speaker 1: know about nothing nothing. Boom, All right, there you go. Okay, 564 00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:38,280 Speaker 1: that's one one for two. Okay, hold one, hey, mister 565 00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,680 Speaker 1: mister Rager, tell me where you're going, tell us where 566 00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:47,440 Speaker 1: you're headed. First of all, it's mister Rager, mister Rangers. 567 00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:53,880 Speaker 1: The song. This is so embarrassing, so embarrassing. Try. I 568 00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:56,320 Speaker 1: don't think I'm helping the game much. I gotta so. 569 00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:02,720 Speaker 1: I don't think I did anything for you. So I 570 00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:06,920 Speaker 1: want to go to something like Trent Dilford told me 571 00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:11,440 Speaker 1: this years ago that he said, Colin, by week three, 572 00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:14,439 Speaker 1: everybody's sore like you just have. It's just the way 573 00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:17,359 Speaker 1: it is. And at the end of Trent's career he 574 00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:19,719 Speaker 1: had a battle line and I think it was Cleveland 575 00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:22,120 Speaker 1: and he said one day, Monday morning, I crawled to 576 00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:26,080 Speaker 1: the bathroom. So we are in week four. You still 577 00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:27,719 Speaker 1: have a pretty young body, but you told me you 578 00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:31,120 Speaker 1: bruised like a peach. So let's say after Miami you 579 00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:34,279 Speaker 1: get hit a couple of times. We're moving into October. 580 00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:37,799 Speaker 1: How do you feel today? I feel great. You know 581 00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:41,560 Speaker 1: that long weekend is big to get your body recovered. 582 00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:46,719 Speaker 1: Those Thursday night games are tough. Now, that's you really 583 00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:49,600 Speaker 1: only have if you have an away game on Sunday. 584 00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:53,759 Speaker 1: You have to travel back Monday. You work out Tuesday 585 00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:57,120 Speaker 1: trying you have your only practice of the week trying 586 00:34:57,120 --> 00:34:59,160 Speaker 1: to get your body back, and then Wednesdays the day 587 00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:01,600 Speaker 1: before the game, Thursday's game day. You don't have a 588 00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:04,680 Speaker 1: lot of time to recover. So those games are tough. 589 00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:07,680 Speaker 1: But the weekend after, you know, you're able to kind 590 00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:10,680 Speaker 1: of relax, get your mind away from it, get all 591 00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:13,880 Speaker 1: the body work done that you need to feel good. 592 00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:17,080 Speaker 1: So I'm feeling really good right now for this next 593 00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:19,319 Speaker 1: stretch before the bye week, that that we gotta get 594 00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:25,200 Speaker 1: some wins and feel good about it. Joe, the seasons 595 00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:28,520 Speaker 1: are so long in college football. Let's say LSU Ohio State. 596 00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:32,239 Speaker 1: Let's take LSU. You can grab that pocket schedule and 597 00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:35,360 Speaker 1: you can circle three games. You're like, you know, Georgia, 598 00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:39,759 Speaker 1: LSU whatever, it is, an m whatever. In the NFL, dude, 599 00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:42,160 Speaker 1: the margins are like that. If you don't have it 600 00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:45,520 Speaker 1: buttoned up, you can go to Houston and I mean 601 00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:49,000 Speaker 1: just get whacked. I remember last year the Chargers went 602 00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:51,560 Speaker 1: I think it was to Houston. It just got rolled 603 00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:54,960 Speaker 1: and I was just I remember talking to somebody inside 604 00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:56,919 Speaker 1: the organization. They're like, we just didn't come to play. 605 00:35:57,040 --> 00:36:01,200 Speaker 1: We just weren't prepared. So do you, like, do you 606 00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:04,120 Speaker 1: do you put the season in quarters, Like, how do 607 00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:07,719 Speaker 1: you emote? I mean, otherwise you can't be intense for 608 00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:10,040 Speaker 1: eighteen weeks, like you have to take a deep breath. 609 00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:15,319 Speaker 1: How do you psychologically compartmentalize the season? Really, I know 610 00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:17,200 Speaker 1: it sounds cliche, but I just think about a week 611 00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:20,360 Speaker 1: to week. Now, let's get through this. The beginning of 612 00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:23,200 Speaker 1: the week is always pretty daunting. You know, you're getting 613 00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:26,919 Speaker 1: all this new information about this new team, new game plan, 614 00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:28,680 Speaker 1: and then by the end of the week you're feeling 615 00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:31,960 Speaker 1: really good going into game day. I really just keep 616 00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:35,680 Speaker 1: it week to week. If you look at the entirety 617 00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:38,800 Speaker 1: of the season, you're going to think it's such a 618 00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:41,040 Speaker 1: tall mountain to climb that you're never going to climb it. 619 00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:42,839 Speaker 1: And then by the time you're at the end, as 620 00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:44,480 Speaker 1: long as you're winning, you're like, where did the time go? 621 00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:47,440 Speaker 1: You know, it was such a fast season, but at 622 00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:50,400 Speaker 1: the beginning, you know it's a lot. And I think 623 00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:54,560 Speaker 1: what was big for me coming into the league was 624 00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:57,759 Speaker 1: learning how to lose. Because you're in college. You know, 625 00:36:57,760 --> 00:36:59,120 Speaker 1: you go to a place like alous Day, you go 626 00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:01,879 Speaker 1: to a place like Las you you're winning just about 627 00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:04,440 Speaker 1: every game you're playing, and if you lose you know, 628 00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:07,080 Speaker 1: the sky's following, the world is ending. You have no 629 00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:10,320 Speaker 1: chance to win the win it all. In the NFL, 630 00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:14,239 Speaker 1: you lose a game, it matters, but there's still six 631 00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:16,360 Speaker 1: team more. You can still win your division. Once you 632 00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:19,880 Speaker 1: get in the playoffs, anything can happen. And so you know, 633 00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:23,080 Speaker 1: my first year, the beginning of last year, every time 634 00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:25,879 Speaker 1: we lost a game, it was like ripping my heart 635 00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:27,640 Speaker 1: out and it was tough for me to get over it. 636 00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:31,399 Speaker 1: And part of the NFL is losing. You're gonna lose 637 00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:33,719 Speaker 1: to really good teams that have really good players that 638 00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:37,000 Speaker 1: you know, like you said, the margins are so thin. 639 00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:40,799 Speaker 1: You make one mistake, you can lose the game. So 640 00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:45,520 Speaker 1: learning how to lose for me was big. Just treating 641 00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:49,000 Speaker 1: it more professionally, looking at it through a lens of 642 00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:53,560 Speaker 1: not emotion but technicality. Hey I could have done this, this, this, this, 643 00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:56,920 Speaker 1: and this better. If I do that, we win the game. Okay, 644 00:37:57,040 --> 00:38:03,640 Speaker 1: move on onto the next rue All right. Chad Millman, 645 00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:07,160 Speaker 1: Action Network c CEO All Odds presented by a fan 646 00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:11,400 Speaker 1: duel It's sharp or Square. I didn't like the lines 647 00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:15,880 Speaker 1: initially this week, but I'm warming to them. Let me 648 00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:19,680 Speaker 1: throw you out one that just feels right. Tomlin is 649 00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:22,919 Speaker 1: one of the great underdog coaches in the league. Petsburgh 650 00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:27,280 Speaker 1: plus fourteen against Buffalo feels like the obvious one. Fourteen's 651 00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:31,440 Speaker 1: an absurd number. Buffalo jumps to a lead, hides the playbook, 652 00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:34,320 Speaker 1: pulls some starters. They're already missing five due to injury. 653 00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:40,560 Speaker 1: Steelers plus fourteen sharper square, totally sharp. That's Look, you 654 00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:44,000 Speaker 1: look at a fourteen point favorite in the NFL, and 655 00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:48,440 Speaker 1: it's like a forty two point favorite in college football. 656 00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:50,960 Speaker 1: And I'm not even exaggerating, that's just what it is. 657 00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:53,480 Speaker 1: And you're talking about Mike Tomlin being in a Mike 658 00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:57,120 Speaker 1: Tomlin ro ros spot. That's the favorite spot. And that 659 00:38:57,160 --> 00:39:01,360 Speaker 1: doesn't matter if he's got Ben Roethlisberger or Duck Hodges 660 00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:06,520 Speaker 1: or now Kenny Pickett, who at least showed some mobility, 661 00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:10,160 Speaker 1: He showed some ability to throw the ball downfield, he 662 00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:13,360 Speaker 1: showed some athleticism. This is a team that I think 663 00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:16,080 Speaker 1: has more opportunities with Kenny Pickett to move the ball 664 00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:18,800 Speaker 1: than they had with Miss Rubisky. So and it's always 665 00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:20,360 Speaker 1: hard to play a quarterback for the first time. You 666 00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:23,600 Speaker 1: don't have any film on him yet. The wise guys 667 00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:25,800 Speaker 1: are going to be on the Steelers at plus four team. Okay, 668 00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:30,200 Speaker 1: here's a game. Sometimes a line is so weird. I 669 00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:33,120 Speaker 1: think Vegas knows something, or Fan Duels knows something that 670 00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:37,360 Speaker 1: I don't. Saints minus six hosting the Seahawks, who have 671 00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:41,480 Speaker 1: looked good, I don't get it at all. I think 672 00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:43,439 Speaker 1: the line should be three and a half. I would 673 00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:49,759 Speaker 1: lean Saints. Sharper square, Well, you would lean Saints if 674 00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:52,480 Speaker 1: you think the line should be three and a half. Well, 675 00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:55,759 Speaker 1: there's something here I am missing. Now. I know the 676 00:39:55,840 --> 00:40:02,200 Speaker 1: Saints defense is really good. They're at home. Gino has 677 00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:06,400 Speaker 1: done it a little bit, they have rookie tackles, a 678 00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:09,520 Speaker 1: little bit smoke and mirrors playing better at home on 679 00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:14,520 Speaker 1: the road. Saints awful loss. It seems to me the 680 00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:18,399 Speaker 1: Saints that line seems way too big. So Vegas knows 681 00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:21,920 Speaker 1: something I don't. I would lean Saints. All right. So 682 00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:25,680 Speaker 1: this is a very interesting game, and it's come up 683 00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:31,160 Speaker 1: a lot in plenty of wise guy conversations, because there's 684 00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:35,560 Speaker 1: no planet in which the Saints are worthy of being 685 00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:40,839 Speaker 1: six points exactly over anybody right now. So I saw 686 00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:42,959 Speaker 1: this on Sunday night. It was one of the first 687 00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:46,720 Speaker 1: bets I made of the Seahawks plus five and a half, 688 00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:50,360 Speaker 1: and this is where it gets really interesting, and betting 689 00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:54,480 Speaker 1: betters like to bet the number and then they like 690 00:40:54,640 --> 00:41:00,920 Speaker 1: to sprinkle in and compliment the number with situations and personnel. 691 00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:05,759 Speaker 1: The Seahawks had just beaten up on the Lions on 692 00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:09,520 Speaker 1: the road. Gino Smith has looked amazing, one of the 693 00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:14,080 Speaker 1: better quarterbacks in the NFL this year, and offensively, the 694 00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:16,480 Speaker 1: Seahawks are second in DVOA, which I don't have to 695 00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:18,960 Speaker 1: break it down, but essentially it means, according to all 696 00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:21,400 Speaker 1: the advanced metrics that every geek likes to play with, 697 00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:24,040 Speaker 1: the Seahawks are the second best offense in the NFL 698 00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:27,239 Speaker 1: right now. The Saints, we don't know who's going to 699 00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:31,360 Speaker 1: be quarterback. Alvin Kmaro looks like he's not Alvin Kimara anymore. 700 00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:34,040 Speaker 1: Michael Thomas, we don't know if he's going to be playing. 701 00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:37,960 Speaker 1: Everybody was questionable this week on the injury list. The 702 00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:40,040 Speaker 1: defense has not been getting to the quarterback the way 703 00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:42,880 Speaker 1: they have. It feels like the books have not adjusted 704 00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:45,880 Speaker 1: on this game yet from what they thought in the 705 00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:48,279 Speaker 1: beginning of the season, which was the Saints could be 706 00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:51,400 Speaker 1: contenders in the NFC South and the Seahawks are supposed 707 00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:52,920 Speaker 1: to be one of the two or three worst teams. 708 00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:55,680 Speaker 1: I think there's still value in the Seahawks here. The 709 00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:58,319 Speaker 1: wise guys have been betting the Seahawks in this game. 710 00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:02,160 Speaker 1: The line just feels fishy to me. It feels very fishy. 711 00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:05,360 Speaker 1: Hate big favorites. Don't think I'm getting the best of 712 00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:07,879 Speaker 1: the number. But the Buccaneers are getting healthy. I think 713 00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:10,120 Speaker 1: the Chiefs are the best team in the league and 714 00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:18,560 Speaker 1: are competitive. Atlanta is really bad against good teams. Little 715 00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:21,200 Speaker 1: bit fool's goal. They can play average and below average 716 00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:24,760 Speaker 1: teams close. Buccaneers and my blowout of the week minus 717 00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:28,959 Speaker 1: nine ten. I think I'd take them sharper square. So 718 00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:33,080 Speaker 1: this is the game, Colin. As you know on the 719 00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:36,040 Speaker 1: podcast that I co host with my friend Simon Hunter. 720 00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:38,360 Speaker 1: Because I don't want you trying to drive a wedge 721 00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:43,120 Speaker 1: between us, we'll do the segment sharp Calls, where professional 722 00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:45,720 Speaker 1: betters will call us about games that we talked about 723 00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:47,600 Speaker 1: in part one of the podcast early in the week 724 00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:49,680 Speaker 1: so they can give us their input when we talk 725 00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:51,320 Speaker 1: about it in part two of the podcast later in 726 00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:55,560 Speaker 1: the week. We loved Atlanta early in the week. Atlanta 727 00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:58,200 Speaker 1: one of the three bets I made on Sunday along 728 00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:00,960 Speaker 1: with the Seahawks in one other game we may talk about. 729 00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:04,000 Speaker 1: At eight and a half, I loved it. I am 730 00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:07,760 Speaker 1: shocked the line has moved to ten. Even more shocked 731 00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:10,640 Speaker 1: because this is a pro Joe's game. The bets are 732 00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:12,719 Speaker 1: coming in on the Buccaneers. When you see bets on 733 00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:16,040 Speaker 1: one side, that's usually the public. The money is on 734 00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:19,200 Speaker 1: the Falcons, that's usually professional money. The line usually moves 735 00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:22,600 Speaker 1: in the direction of the professional money. Simon got a 736 00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:24,359 Speaker 1: lot of calls this week about how much people love 737 00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:29,239 Speaker 1: the Bucks, and betting is a little bit like investing. 738 00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:31,920 Speaker 1: You want to ride the wave and then you want 739 00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:36,200 Speaker 1: to sell at the peak. And with the Falcons specifically, 740 00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:38,879 Speaker 1: professional betters have been on the Falcons every single week. 741 00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:41,400 Speaker 1: They are four and against the spread. Professional betters have 742 00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:43,839 Speaker 1: loved him every single week. I think what they saw 743 00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:47,000 Speaker 1: with the Bucks last week was Tom Brady playing really 744 00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:49,360 Speaker 1: well in a high scoring game when he's got a 745 00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:53,359 Speaker 1: full complement of his receivers available, and I think they're 746 00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:57,239 Speaker 1: thinking we're selling high on the Falcons and getting in 747 00:43:57,320 --> 00:44:00,360 Speaker 1: on the Bucks. So there's a little bit of a 748 00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:03,080 Speaker 1: split in what the conversation is I can't fault you 749 00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:06,680 Speaker 1: for taking the bucks. I'll be on the falcons, all right. 750 00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:09,000 Speaker 1: Here's a game where I liked the Rams initially. Then 751 00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:12,360 Speaker 1: I got news the lines moved Cowboys plus five and 752 00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:17,000 Speaker 1: a half, and news the Rams are missing another starting 753 00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:21,120 Speaker 1: offensive lineman. They're now down to a right tackle off 754 00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:25,680 Speaker 1: last year's Super Bowl team until Alan Robinson becomes something. 755 00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:29,200 Speaker 1: They have a one man wide receiving crew beat up 756 00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:32,960 Speaker 1: on the offensive line. I think they'll tread water. But 757 00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:35,440 Speaker 1: at five and a half, with that injury, I would 758 00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:39,600 Speaker 1: take Dallas and the point sharper square. So that's square, 759 00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:42,400 Speaker 1: and this line is moving, really because the wise guys 760 00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:45,640 Speaker 1: like the Rams a lot. They liked him at four 761 00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:47,920 Speaker 1: and a half, they liked him at five, they'll like 762 00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:50,759 Speaker 1: him at five and a half. When you're betting, and 763 00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:54,000 Speaker 1: this is technical, five to five and a half, it's 764 00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:57,680 Speaker 1: a dead number. Games don't really land on those numbers. 765 00:44:57,960 --> 00:44:59,719 Speaker 1: So if you're getting four and a half, you might 766 00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:01,239 Speaker 1: as well bet the five, you might as well bet 767 00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:03,000 Speaker 1: the five and a half. If he gets the six, 768 00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:05,840 Speaker 1: then you want to reevaluate. But there's no real delta 769 00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:07,680 Speaker 1: between four and a half and five and a half. 770 00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:09,719 Speaker 1: I bet this game at four and a half. The 771 00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:12,160 Speaker 1: offensive line was in shambles, whether or not they were 772 00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:15,640 Speaker 1: down one more player. Matthew Stafford has been getting pressured. 773 00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:19,000 Speaker 1: This has been a challenging offensive year for the Rams, 774 00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:23,759 Speaker 1: but they're betting against Cooper Rush here, okay, And what 775 00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:28,759 Speaker 1: you're seeing is Cooper Rush starting off hot, not throwing interceptions. 776 00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:33,560 Speaker 1: If you look beyond the final score in these games, 777 00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:38,000 Speaker 1: look at who the Cowboys have played. They've played teams 778 00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:42,959 Speaker 1: in disarray, they've played not very good teams. And Cooper Rush, 779 00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:46,640 Speaker 1: while he doesn't have any interceptions, he's had three interceptions 780 00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:51,040 Speaker 1: called back because of defensive penalties and two interceptions dropped. 781 00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:55,920 Speaker 1: So this is not a team that is flawless in 782 00:45:55,960 --> 00:46:00,000 Speaker 1: any way. And people, I think are getting hypnotized by 783 00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:02,600 Speaker 1: what he's done and by Michael Parsons and what he 784 00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:05,800 Speaker 1: can do as a pass rusher against a Rams offensive line. 785 00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:07,920 Speaker 1: But I don't think this Cowboys team is good enough 786 00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:10,520 Speaker 1: to stay with the Rams for the record. Kyle Allen 787 00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:12,680 Speaker 1: won a bunch of games years ago, was a backup, 788 00:46:12,680 --> 00:46:15,640 Speaker 1: and then after about four games, everybody got tape and 789 00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:18,680 Speaker 1: then Kyle Allen's back to being a backup Cooper Rush. That, 790 00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:22,120 Speaker 1: by the way, is the exact comp I've heard. I've 791 00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:25,440 Speaker 1: heard so many people talking about that this week that 792 00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:29,200 Speaker 1: Kyle Allen is a perfect analog for this scenario. Okay, 793 00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:34,600 Speaker 1: I took I took the Texans based on your recommendation 794 00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:37,439 Speaker 1: last week and took it in the shorts. I ask 795 00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:41,360 Speaker 1: you every week for a bet you like fireaway Sharper Square. 796 00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:44,120 Speaker 1: The Texans last week was tough because they could have 797 00:46:44,160 --> 00:46:46,640 Speaker 1: covered that game right, And I'm glad you bring that 798 00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:50,960 Speaker 1: up because the Texans played the Chargers this week. The 799 00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:54,279 Speaker 1: Chargers are on the road again. The Chargers are three 800 00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:59,560 Speaker 1: point favorites at Cleveland. I'm not buying it. This is 801 00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:02,840 Speaker 1: a this is we talked about stock market terminology before. 802 00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:08,120 Speaker 1: This is a bylow sell high situation. The Browns coming 803 00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:11,040 Speaker 1: off a loss to the Falcons. The Chargers coming off 804 00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:15,080 Speaker 1: a road win against the Texans. The Browns have the 805 00:47:15,239 --> 00:47:20,239 Speaker 1: best running back in football. The Texans are missing their 806 00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:24,600 Speaker 1: best defensive player along the front seven in Joey Bosa. 807 00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:27,600 Speaker 1: I mean, not the Texans. The Chargers. They're still missing 808 00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:30,680 Speaker 1: their best offensive lineman and will miss him for the 809 00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:33,319 Speaker 1: rest of the year in Rashaan Slater. So you've got 810 00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:36,279 Speaker 1: a better defensive front in the Browns. You've got a 811 00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:40,600 Speaker 1: better rushing game in the Browns. You're playing the Browns outdoors, 812 00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:45,919 Speaker 1: not indoors outdoors, a really well coached team. I love 813 00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:48,279 Speaker 1: the Browns in this spot. I think the Browns are 814 00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:51,320 Speaker 1: going to win this game. I actually feel like Colin 815 00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:55,560 Speaker 1: I'm going to say it here now it's October. Browns 816 00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:58,000 Speaker 1: win this game. There's going to come a point in 817 00:47:58,040 --> 00:48:01,160 Speaker 1: time later in the year when Shaun Watson comes back 818 00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:04,000 Speaker 1: in December. The Browns are going to be hanging around 819 00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:05,840 Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, they're gonna get to 820 00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:08,040 Speaker 1: Shaun Watson. We're going to see how well rounded they are, 821 00:48:08,440 --> 00:48:10,960 Speaker 1: and we're gonna wish we had bought Cleveland Browns AFC 822 00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:17,280 Speaker 1: futures in October. And finally, don't have a strong feeling 823 00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:19,520 Speaker 1: on it, though I did tell you starting in the 824 00:48:19,680 --> 00:48:23,600 Speaker 1: second half against Dallas, I thought Cincinnati got right. I 825 00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:28,719 Speaker 1: think Miami's a very good team. Beating them is impressive. Half. 826 00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:32,360 Speaker 1: With two and a a half with Teddy Bridgewater, the Ravens 827 00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:37,239 Speaker 1: are struggling to score in the second half. Concerning just 828 00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:39,719 Speaker 1: where do you land on this again? All of our 829 00:48:39,719 --> 00:48:41,920 Speaker 1: odds provided by a fan duel. I don't know what 830 00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:44,200 Speaker 1: the latest number is, but I just kind of your 831 00:48:44,239 --> 00:48:49,840 Speaker 1: interpretation of a big division rivalry game where you know 832 00:48:49,880 --> 00:48:52,960 Speaker 1: they're going to put their best corner on Jamar Chase, 833 00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:55,560 Speaker 1: so they take him out. The Bengals aren't running it 834 00:48:55,680 --> 00:48:58,720 Speaker 1: very effectively. Where do you land on that one? So 835 00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:02,439 Speaker 1: I am on the Rape than at minus three in 836 00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:07,040 Speaker 1: this game right now checking it on FanDuel as we speak, 837 00:49:09,080 --> 00:49:12,239 Speaker 1: had been moving around a little bit, so it's three 838 00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:15,160 Speaker 1: and a half. So the money has been coming in 839 00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:19,000 Speaker 1: on the Ravens. I'm not surprised. I think it will 840 00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:22,319 Speaker 1: continue to come in. I think the Ravens. You say 841 00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:24,439 Speaker 1: they've struggled to score in the second half. I think 842 00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:28,320 Speaker 1: they're a couple of plays away from being four no 843 00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:33,520 Speaker 1: and having beaten two really good teams in Miami and 844 00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:37,759 Speaker 1: in Buffalo. And I think the Bengals, while I was 845 00:49:37,840 --> 00:49:39,759 Speaker 1: on them last week and I do feel like they 846 00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:42,719 Speaker 1: started to get right. I think this is a really 847 00:49:42,760 --> 00:49:46,040 Speaker 1: tough spot for them, and so I'm on the Ravens here. 848 00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:48,400 Speaker 1: The wise guys have been on the Ravens. It's one 849 00:49:48,400 --> 00:49:51,000 Speaker 1: of the reasons why this number is flash into three 850 00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:55,799 Speaker 1: and a half Chad Millman Action Network. As owas it's 851 00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:58,880 Speaker 1: great seeing you again, say hi to Simon Hunter. I 852 00:49:58,920 --> 00:50:01,640 Speaker 1: do feel bad about the fissures in your relationship, but 853 00:50:01,680 --> 00:50:05,080 Speaker 1: you can amend that hopefully over the course of the season.
