What am I doing with 16 00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 1: my life? Every other week? Hourly every night before bid West? 17 00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:00,960 Speaker 1: How you doing, buddy? You're trooper. We got a text 18 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,959 Speaker 1: from you earlier this morning that you were had all 19 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,040 Speaker 1: sorts of medical issues, you were dealing with um and 20 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 1: yet you're here grinding. Yeah. I went to uh, my 21 00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:14,560 Speaker 1: cancer doctor yesterday. My scans are, to quote him, beautiful, 22 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 1: just beautiful excellent party music. But I've come down with 23 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 1: a bad quote, and it's made worse by a hiatol 24 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 1: hernia that I've been dealing with as an after effect 25 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 1: of the surgery. Is that in the butt. No, it's 26 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 1: a theosophagus stummach diaphragm region. Why did you need to 27 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 1: go there with the diagnosis because I'm not a doctor, 28 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,399 Speaker 1: so I didn't know what that meant. But I just 29 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 1: had a hunch, you know, like I was watching Jeopardy. 30 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,280 Speaker 1: Jeopardy James is back with the Tournament of Champions, and 31 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 1: sometimes you just blurred out the first thing that comes 32 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 1: to your mind, and it's right. I thought that was 33 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 1: about the butt. It was wrong, because you're usually wrong 34 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 1: and changely almost always. With Dan, the first thing that 35 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 1: comes out of his mind is the butt. Hernie's hernie 36 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 1: is usually are not associated with the but um. So 37 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:08,919 Speaker 1: you're hanging in there, buddy, and you are. That's leadership. 38 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 1: Yeah to dealing with my heine hernia. A lot happening 39 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 1: right out of the game. Uh, you're a warrior. That's 40 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 1: that's that's what I would call you. Thank you. Today's 41 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 1: show good one. We are going to dig into the 42 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 1: news and catch up on the uh big Colin Kaepernick news. Also, 43 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 1: a NFL owner speaks out. He's getting impatient and the 44 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 1: goat Greg, as you refer to him as many others, 45 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 1: Number twelve, he's an unhappy a little bit upset. We'll 46 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:46,239 Speaker 1: get into that. Um. Speaking of unhappy and upset, we're 47 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 1: bringing it back, maybe for one show only. Stick a 48 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 1: fork in him reboot and Greg, I know that why 49 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 1: don't you use the floor here to share your rambling 50 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,639 Speaker 1: soliloquy the floor you were using downstairs delivered to Mark 51 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 1: and I, Um, you know that this was killed. Well yeah, 52 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 1: you said though that the hook this time is if 53 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 1: if we get any wrong, we're gonna kill it. And 54 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 1: I said that was the hook. That was the huck. 55 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 1: When we killed that, Greg, you heard like a drawer 56 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 1: open up and he pulled out his notes and he 57 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 1: was like reading almost like some type of like stenographers 58 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: notes from seven years ago. In the newsroom. We didn't 59 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 1: remember that. Mark and I. We thought it was what 60 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 1: the rules were were if we got any teams wrong, 61 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 1: and if you're newer to the show, when you stick 62 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,679 Speaker 1: a fork in a team, if uh, we declare that 63 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 1: team has no chance of making the playoffs, their season 64 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 1: is effectively over if they if they come back to 65 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 1: make the playoffs, we would then on Greg well, Greg 66 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,119 Speaker 1: would do it because he was the boss at the time. 67 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 1: He would make a charitable donation to that's the team 68 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 1: city we did in behalf of the We got it. 69 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 1: I think we did it three or four years and 70 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 1: we were there's only one year that we actually got right. 71 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 1: We were wrong in all the rest and you guys 72 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 1: were annoyed that year. I remember too, because we played 73 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 1: it to say, I know, I think it makes sense. Now, 74 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 1: this is what our seventh season together. It's kind of 75 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 1: like the seventh season of you know, Friends, or any 76 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 1: long running sitcom. It's like, hey, what's that idea we 77 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 1: had back in season two that people like, let's circle 78 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 1: back to that. You have their receipts for those charitable contributions. Yeah, 79 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 1: i'd like to see. I remember tracking that effectively actually 80 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 1: remembers always the Red Cross. It's always the Red Cross 81 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 1: in converse to the Supreme Court. If we have to 82 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 1: get these financials cracks for Greg Um. No, this is 83 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 1: we've We've also talked about this before. Greg. We've don't 84 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,840 Speaker 1: done too many of these shows. This is what like 85 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 1: introducing the step child that's five years old and you know, 86 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,719 Speaker 1: precocious on a sitcom in that season seven about episode 87 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 1: one D some of the kids originally in the show 88 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,280 Speaker 1: or in puberty at this point, and it's not as 89 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 1: cute to be confused with young Sheldon, which was just 90 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 1: that's a whole separate. That's a great idea, bringing the ginger. 91 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,720 Speaker 1: That's what they do. There must be some perfect science 92 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:00,720 Speaker 1: behind all that, because you h are these kids when 93 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,839 Speaker 1: they're like four or five, how do you know they're 94 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,839 Speaker 1: not going to grow up to look hideously on It happens, 95 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 1: So it's happened typically not though, I mean like some 96 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 1: of these child actors grow up looking now then they 97 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 1: leave acting and they get arrested, they have like face 98 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 1: tattoos and stuff. But we're going to replace you with 99 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,480 Speaker 1: Ted McGinley to save the show. Anyway, greg Um, just 100 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 1: make one promise, that's all, Greg that you will you 101 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,039 Speaker 1: will play the stick of stick of work in the game. 102 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,320 Speaker 1: I'll play in good faith, absolutely. I always that was. 103 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 1: I always played it, you know the way I wanted 104 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 1: to play it. I don't I don't think you would 105 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,360 Speaker 1: submarine the game. But but now I have your word 106 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 1: on it. Thursday night football preview Indie at Houston. Oh, 107 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,280 Speaker 1: that's a good one with huge ramifications in the a 108 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 1: f C South. But before we do that, let's close 109 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:53,920 Speaker 1: out week eleven with a little Monday night football. Yes, Espanola, 110 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:16,559 Speaker 1: let it again, Rivers of Quarto Lano, Phannip Rivers. Fourth 111 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 1: interception by Philip Rivers. You're fluent, fluent. That was great. 112 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 1: Do we know who called that? Riggy? People that know 113 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 1: Spanish with the call from Mexico City. Philip Rivers intercepted 114 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 1: by a ball hawk Chiefs the events four times and 115 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 1: the Chiefs hold on seventeen over the Chargers at a 116 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 1: raucous Azteca Stadium, sight of some of the great soccer 117 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,919 Speaker 1: matches in the history of the sport. You've got the 118 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 1: accent down. I'll give you that. Espanol Azteca Studio Studios, 119 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 1: Stecca Steca. Um. Yeah. So this was a game where 120 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 1: you expected, uh, you know, big scoring, potentially Patrick Mahomes 121 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 1: against Philip Rivers. It didn't work out that way because, 122 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 1: first of all, the Chiefs barely had the ball it 123 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 1: felt like, in the first half, and the Chargers went 124 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 1: up and down the field and did what the Chargers do. 125 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 1: Charger is gonna charge. Are found ways to kick away 126 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 1: multiple scoring opportunities, Gregg in the first half, um the 127 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 1: Chiefs go on a roll, they get ahead, the Chargers 128 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 1: battle back, but Rivers kept on making mistakes, and you 129 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 1: wonder if this is a game you remembers kind of 130 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 1: the beginning of the end of the Philip Rivers era 131 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 1: in Chargers Land. It's been a tough year for Philip Rivers. 132 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 1: You know, he's had terrible protection, which has been the 133 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 1: case for most of his career, especially this week. You 134 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 1: know you're without both starting tackles. You have a third 135 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 1: round pick, Tray Pipkins, and he tried to almost refuse 136 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 1: to play early in the season. He's getting destroyed by 137 00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 1: Frank Clark. But ultimately Rivers has made too many of 138 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 1: these is big time mistakes. Each week. There's been one 139 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 1: or two plays each week for Rivers that has really 140 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 1: put his team in a tough spot. And this was 141 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 1: a game where his defense played lights out and really 142 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 1: gave the Chargers often. So you can blame Rivers, you 143 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 1: can blame the play calling. Everything about the Chargers offense 144 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 1: failed and it's so Chargers because for most of the year, 145 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 1: the offense was carrying them and so whenever like one 146 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 1: side of the ball plays well, the other doesn't. They 147 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 1: had the ball within i think the thirty yard line 148 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 1: four times in the first half and they had you know, 149 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,840 Speaker 1: six or nine points and they just could not make 150 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,240 Speaker 1: the big play what they needed to. Yeah, I thought 151 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,959 Speaker 1: up until the Packers game. Through that Packers game, he 152 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 1: was playing well despite having the two worst set of 153 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,719 Speaker 1: tackles in the league blocking for him, and then the 154 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,200 Speaker 1: last two weeks it's mostly on him. Last night was 155 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,560 Speaker 1: mostly on him. Frank Clark beat Trey Pipkins on that 156 00:08:56,600 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 1: strip sack that might have been ruled in interception was um. 157 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,680 Speaker 1: But other than that, I thought it was on Philip Rivers. 158 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 1: I saw a guy struggling to complete throws that coming 159 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 1: from Philip Rivers. It was kind of stunning and shocking 160 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,200 Speaker 1: to watch. And I mean, we all kind of have 161 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 1: been through this journey with aging quarterbacks and it's not 162 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 1: the beauties though he did at the end, did at 163 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 1: the end, but there were still just certain plays where 164 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 1: you can just see something shifting with Philip Rivers. And 165 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 1: it's not the final season of Brett Favre, which was 166 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 1: incredibly painful to watch over those final five or six games. 167 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,960 Speaker 1: But you just when these quarterbacks hit the end, sometimes 168 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 1: it happens fast, and it happens quick, and you know, 169 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,960 Speaker 1: we're here from Steve weish that the Chargers certainly are 170 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 1: a team that you know, the mindset will soon become 171 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:46,960 Speaker 1: we need to think about this position, and they've thought 172 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 1: about it in years past. Two He also he got 173 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 1: credited with four a little bit unfair on the strips 174 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 1: act to hit him with the interception, but then he 175 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,560 Speaker 1: also threw up a balloon uh that was should have 176 00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 1: been intercepted but was lost in the lights by Honey 177 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 1: Badger I leave. So it was just that type of 178 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:03,960 Speaker 1: game where that was that was actually that's a great 179 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 1: example though. That was one where that's to me, that's 180 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 1: not on Rivers they got, they got. That was another 181 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 1: play where Frank Clark beat Pipkins in two and a 182 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 1: half seconds and even rivers when he got to the 183 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 1: back of his drop, it looked like maybe Pipkins had 184 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 1: a chance, and Clark beat him so fast that you 185 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:21,960 Speaker 1: you can't even like account for that. And he hits 186 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:23,840 Speaker 1: his art well and he gets picked off, but he's 187 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,320 Speaker 1: not playing. He's not playing. Did you not see throws 188 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,560 Speaker 1: from Rivers that were problematic? And of course he has 189 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,640 Speaker 1: fourteen interceptions that just second only to Jamis Winston in 190 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,319 Speaker 1: the league. This year. His QBR is forty six, with 191 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:38,320 Speaker 1: ranks twenty three amongst quarterbacks. It is he's always been 192 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 1: kind of a throwback guy, and maybe he is, like 193 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,200 Speaker 1: you know, he's not the type of guy that's gonna 194 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,000 Speaker 1: be able to play until he's forty. He's more like 195 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 1: what most NFL quarterbacks were for fifty years that once 196 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 1: you get to thirty seven, thirty eight, like Eli Manning, 197 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:56,560 Speaker 1: like so many peyton and he's he's the quarterback especially 198 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 1: that needs past protection. You gotta give the Chiefs defense 199 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:01,679 Speaker 1: credit though, even though they did give up three hundred 200 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 1: yards in the first half, this is a top five 201 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 1: past defense according to Football Outsiders. They've made a lot 202 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 1: of players on the ball all year. They've been a 203 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,079 Speaker 1: tough team to throw agains. That's why I'm surprised the 204 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:14,959 Speaker 1: Chargers didn't run more, uh throughout the game, because they 205 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,440 Speaker 1: were making hay when they wanted to run. And yet 206 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 1: everything about you know, Rivers, that's the conversation after the game. 207 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 1: To me, it's secondary. We can kind of stick a 208 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 1: fork in them. I'm sure we will later. They're done 209 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 1: for the year. To me, my biggest takeaway is what's 210 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,319 Speaker 1: up with the Chiefs offense. That's the worst game I've 211 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,839 Speaker 1: ever seen out of Patrick Mahomes uh in terms of 212 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:36,079 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes Chief's offense, and every week when you think 213 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,319 Speaker 1: they're finally turning it around, then they lose Tyreek Hill 214 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 1: right away, they lose Damien Williams right away, and they 215 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 1: can't get anything going. They punted four times in the 216 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 1: fourth quarter. It was a disastrous fourth quarter where the 217 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 1: only thing they could do was get Mahomes to scramble 218 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 1: for a first down or else they had no answers, 219 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,080 Speaker 1: which was to me, it was shocking. It was shocking 220 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,440 Speaker 1: the sea I can keep a running back healthy and 221 00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 1: with a hot hand. I thought one of the great 222 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 1: signs for the Chiefs was that Mahomes looked good scrambling. 223 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:05,960 Speaker 1: He looked like normal Patrick Mahomes and some of those 224 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,720 Speaker 1: throws he made to Travis Kelsey were beautiful. But but 225 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 1: Greg's right, that was not one of the better Patrick 226 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 1: Mahomes games. It doesn't help. That's someone like Sammy Watkins 227 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,599 Speaker 1: essentially refuses to step up when a Tyreek Hill is 228 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:19,960 Speaker 1: off the field. I won't do it. Well, there were six, 229 00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 1: maybe it was Mexico. You know, they were just so conservative. 230 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, this is one of the great offenses 231 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 1: we've ever seen, and I'm not used to seeing long stretches, 232 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:29,720 Speaker 1: which is the first three or four drives of the 233 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 1: game and then the last four drives of the game 234 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:34,079 Speaker 1: where they just do absolutely nothing and they're not playing 235 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 1: the Bears here. Let me do the half glass full. 236 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:39,959 Speaker 1: They had every excuse there laid out to find a 237 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,319 Speaker 1: way to lose that game. On the road to Mexico City, 238 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,319 Speaker 1: Mahomes throws for the fewest amount of yards a D 239 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 1: and eighty two that he's ever had in a game 240 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,160 Speaker 1: that he finished. You had, as we said, Tyreek Hill 241 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:53,360 Speaker 1: went out, Damian Williams Lashawn McCoy leaves with a concussion. 242 00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,560 Speaker 1: Field was a problem for both. You couldn't go side 243 00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:58,439 Speaker 1: to side, and they found a way and they did 244 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 1: it because their defense. Um, like you said, with Frank 245 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 1: Clark in the secondary making plays. So it's good to 246 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,200 Speaker 1: see that this team could win sometimes when they don't 247 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 1: have everything clicking on offense, which they didn't. I think 248 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:13,680 Speaker 1: that's fair. They are, i think a more complete team 249 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 1: defensively than they were a year ago. And that was 250 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 1: certainly Clark's best game of the year. He's been coming on. 251 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:20,959 Speaker 1: He did not start the season well, but he's been 252 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,080 Speaker 1: coming on. He had a bad nerve issue in his 253 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,320 Speaker 1: neck that was affecting the way he was playing. And 254 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,319 Speaker 1: to your point, Mark Sammy Watkins, Yeah, he's the greatest 255 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:30,959 Speaker 1: tease of the decade. I think in terms of the 256 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,560 Speaker 1: wide receiver he made. He made at least one play 257 00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:37,040 Speaker 1: last but he was supposedn't a zero across the box score. 258 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 1: But it's like you'd like to see when they have 259 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill, when they have Kelsey, and when they have 260 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:43,840 Speaker 1: a one running back plugged in and making huge plays. 261 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 1: What you've seen a couple of times, they're unstoppable. But 262 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,480 Speaker 1: when when you're leaning on one of the three year 263 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,800 Speaker 1: in hot Water and Travis Kelsey, after a quiet first half, 264 00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:52,320 Speaker 1: he had a monster second half, you kind of need 265 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:54,520 Speaker 1: your big guys to step up. Some of those were 266 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 1: amazing and and part of it is listening to the 267 00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:00,199 Speaker 1: players after the game. I mean they they're dying. I mean, 268 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:05,320 Speaker 1: did the elevation just changes that game for everyone? And 269 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,040 Speaker 1: I don't know if it was because the Chargers you know, 270 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 1: practiced in Colorado or not, but they did come out 271 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,720 Speaker 1: in the first half and they were running the Chiefs 272 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 1: up and down the field west and I locked that 273 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,720 Speaker 1: game and I I thought they the Chiefs do not 274 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 1: deserve to be in this game at halftime. They were 275 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 1: given a lot of uh chances by a sloppy Chargers team, 276 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:26,480 Speaker 1: and that's why you pick against the Chargers. But the 277 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 1: chief Chiefs had a chance to get run out of 278 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,160 Speaker 1: the building in the first half and it just didn't happen. 279 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,680 Speaker 1: That's another sweep for the Heroes. In the picks we're 280 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 1: starting to I would bet work around a seven percentage 281 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 1: in the last month or so. So yeah, the way 282 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 1: a team surges, you know, close to Thanksgiving and after 283 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 1: that is what this team is to means Patriots esque 284 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:49,880 Speaker 1: what we're doing right now with our picks. Any other 285 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 1: thoughts on the game, Jone, I have a long, long 286 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 1: and I'm just kidding. Great timing for the Chiefs. By 287 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:57,280 Speaker 1: the way, even if things don't seem like they're clicking 288 00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 1: for this team, and maybe this isn't the year. Maybe 289 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 1: it is. Who knows, by perfect timing for this bye, 290 00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 1: and then when they come out of the bye, they 291 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,320 Speaker 1: get the Raiders, so then they get the Patriots, so 292 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 1: they they have a really interesting schedule. And I think 293 00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 1: tyreeks Tyreek Hill's health. I think they were cautious with 294 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 1: him knowing they had the bye coming in these big 295 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,160 Speaker 1: games because he's not a jener piece, because they can 296 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:19,640 Speaker 1: still run their obins, but they are just not the 297 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 1: same without him. What happened to the September version of 298 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:26,680 Speaker 1: DeMarcus Robinson, right, he's disappeared. They were so considering. I mean, 299 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 1: I've never I've never wanted to criticize Andy Reid for 300 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 1: being conservative, but the play calling at the end of 301 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:34,560 Speaker 1: the game, they were just counting on their defense to 302 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,080 Speaker 1: win it. They were they were expecting Philip Rivers to 303 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,360 Speaker 1: give them the game, and ultimately they were right. You 304 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 1: ever had altitude sickness, like flown into a mountain town, 305 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:44,800 Speaker 1: It's not fun. Maybe that's what was happening to some 306 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 1: of these players. Yeah, I just I just wanted to 307 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 1: hear more about You thought that they were taking it 308 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:54,000 Speaker 1: easy with Tyreek Hill because of the injury going into 309 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:57,120 Speaker 1: the bye MM. So you're just I just wanted to 310 00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 1: know your thoughts about the injury. I should hand speculate 311 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 1: eating I don't really know. I'm just saying he sits 312 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 1: standing there on the sideline. The whole game a little different. 313 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:08,440 Speaker 1: I'm not saying what they should or shouldn't do. Trust 314 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,240 Speaker 1: the messical medical staff, right, so they guess they told 315 00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:13,680 Speaker 1: them sit on the sit on the sideline. Just wanted 316 00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 1: to clarify. Alright, let's move on to the news. And 317 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 1: so the main character is does this new mind greater, 318 00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:30,840 Speaker 1: greater mind and mind that yet is to be alright? 319 00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:35,880 Speaker 1: So we mentioned Colin Kaepernick. His workout scheduled a week 320 00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:40,320 Speaker 1: ago today for Saturday, on short notice. Kaepernick was given 321 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 1: short notice. Everybody has given short notice. UH. Teams invited. 322 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 1: Many teams showed up to Flowery Branch, where the Falcons 323 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:51,560 Speaker 1: practice facility is UH shortly before it was set to 324 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 1: begin on Saturday, Kaepernick's team announces, no, we're not gonna 325 00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:58,240 Speaker 1: do it here. We're uncomfortable with the waiver we were 326 00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:01,000 Speaker 1: being asked to sign. UH. Some of the legalities of 327 00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:04,200 Speaker 1: it were not kosher to us. So we're going sixty 328 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:07,679 Speaker 1: miles south, uh to a high school field and and 329 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:12,760 Speaker 1: hosting our practice uh and UH hosting the workout. They 330 00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,520 Speaker 1: wanted it to be more visible to the to the public, 331 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 1: which the NFL had it closed to the media. They're 332 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:23,200 Speaker 1: they're planned event at the Falcons facility. Uh. The workout 333 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:25,720 Speaker 1: as we're told. Uh. Most people that were there said 334 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,399 Speaker 1: that he looked good, streamed on YouTube, streamed on YouTube. 335 00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 1: His arm strength is still there. He looked big. Um. 336 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:34,600 Speaker 1: Some others saw a guy that was more average, not 337 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:36,960 Speaker 1: a not a standout guy, but somebody that could probably 338 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 1: play in the NFL. And then Kaepernick, who in all 339 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:43,720 Speaker 1: of this, over three years since this whole process that began, 340 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,480 Speaker 1: of course, when he kneeled during the national anthem as 341 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,240 Speaker 1: a member of the forty nine to protest social injustices 342 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:53,160 Speaker 1: and police brutality, to now, you've almost never heard from 343 00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:57,639 Speaker 1: him outside of Nike commercials or or whatever. Well, he's 344 00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:59,159 Speaker 1: here and there, but he's been very much out of 345 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 1: the spotlight in terms of as a speaker. He spoke 346 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,320 Speaker 1: to the assembled media at the high school. Here's a 347 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,720 Speaker 1: little bit of it. I appreciate you all coming out. 348 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,040 Speaker 1: That means a lot to me. Our biggest thing with 349 00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:13,199 Speaker 1: everything today was making sure we had transparency and what 350 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:16,480 Speaker 1: went on. We weren't getting that elsewhere, so we came 351 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:19,720 Speaker 1: out here. It's important that y'all here. Y'all bad attack 352 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,879 Speaker 1: for the last three years. Y'all continue to be attacked. 353 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:27,119 Speaker 1: We appreciate what y'all do. We appreciate you being here today. 354 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:29,560 Speaker 1: We appreciate the work you do for the people and 355 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:31,800 Speaker 1: tell him the truth, and that's what we wanted everything. 356 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:35,399 Speaker 1: I've been ready for three years. I've been denied for 357 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,080 Speaker 1: three years. We all know why I came out here, 358 00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:40,520 Speaker 1: showed it today in front of everybody. We have nothing 359 00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,600 Speaker 1: to hide. So we're waiting for the thirty two owners, 360 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,879 Speaker 1: the thirty two teams, Roger Goodell, all of them to 361 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:50,040 Speaker 1: stop running, stop running from the truth, stop running from 362 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:53,879 Speaker 1: the people. We're out here. We're ready to play, ready 363 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:56,679 Speaker 1: to go anywhere. My agent, Jeff Nally, is ready to 364 00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,920 Speaker 1: talk to any team, interview with a team at any time. 365 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,760 Speaker 1: I've been ready, I'm staying ready, and I continue to 366 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,360 Speaker 1: be ready. It's all the people that came out here 367 00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:10,200 Speaker 1: today to support. I appreciate y'all. I love y'all to 368 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:13,840 Speaker 1: the people that are here I'm thinking of you. Appreciate 369 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,840 Speaker 1: you supporting from where you are. We'll continue to give 370 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,800 Speaker 1: you updates as we hear. We'll be waiting to hear 371 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 1: from Roger Goodell, the NFL, the thirty two teams. Will 372 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,280 Speaker 1: let you know if we're hear from them. Balls in 373 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 1: their court. We're ready to go alright, So a lot 374 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,240 Speaker 1: to unpack here, and as you imagine, even when right 375 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,040 Speaker 1: when it was announced, you knew this is gonna be 376 00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,600 Speaker 1: fireworks over the weekend. What's gonna happen and will but 377 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:40,680 Speaker 1: it felt like a very slim chance, Gregg that it 378 00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:44,080 Speaker 1: would go exactly to plan or what the NFL's version 379 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,040 Speaker 1: of the plan was, and it certainly did not. What 380 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:49,400 Speaker 1: was your kind of takeaway from from the whole thing. 381 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:55,520 Speaker 1: I'm an optimist, and I despite all the confusion of 382 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:59,719 Speaker 1: everything that happened and the understandable skepticism on both you know, 383 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 1: Kaepernick's side about the NFL and really the public side 384 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,280 Speaker 1: about like what what is going on with this? I thought, well, 385 00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,200 Speaker 1: maybe this, maybe this has a happy ending. Like I'm 386 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,760 Speaker 1: an optimist that's thinking maybe he is back in the 387 00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:14,840 Speaker 1: league at some point, which I think would be a 388 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:18,680 Speaker 1: great thing for him and for everybody, And I come 389 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:22,960 Speaker 1: away from this weekend feeling like there's less of a 390 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 1: chance than that than when I then going into the weekend. 391 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:30,520 Speaker 1: So that, to me, that's that's disappointing, because you know, 392 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,680 Speaker 1: you you thought, okay, maybe there there's a chance here, 393 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:38,800 Speaker 1: And I actually was mildly impressed or surprised. The eight 394 00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:44,199 Speaker 1: teams went to the separate work so so that so 395 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:47,479 Speaker 1: some scouts went and and watched them. I thought. David Tepper, 396 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 1: the owner of the Panthers, had an interesting comment. Um 397 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,240 Speaker 1: you know, he of course signed Eric Ready. The Panthers 398 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:54,639 Speaker 1: were not one of the teams that even sent the 399 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,680 Speaker 1: team to Atlanta, and he said, look, we if if 400 00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 1: we wanted to sign him, we would sign him. And 401 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:01,200 Speaker 1: if we id wanta sign we just have them to 402 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,439 Speaker 1: a private workout. We felt no need to go to that. 403 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:07,040 Speaker 1: So that's like another perspective of it. But after everything 404 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:10,240 Speaker 1: that happened, it shouldn't be too surprising. But I feel 405 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 1: like there's a less of a chance than ever that 406 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:15,240 Speaker 1: a Kaepern expecting. To me, the thing that sticks out 407 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:19,080 Speaker 1: is the timing and the planning, and they created the 408 00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:21,359 Speaker 1: controversy with the whole the way the whole thing was 409 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:24,120 Speaker 1: staged in the sense that you have Steve Weise reporting 410 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:27,800 Speaker 1: that there were high ranking people within the league office 411 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,840 Speaker 1: that had no idea this workout was happening until it 412 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:34,840 Speaker 1: was announced on Tuesday. That obviously teams did not until 413 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 1: the email landed. And to me, it's counter to how 414 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:44,000 Speaker 1: the NFL plans essentially everything, which is extremely lead up heavy, 415 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:46,880 Speaker 1: with a lot of notice, and even something like a workout, 416 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 1: you're asking people. We already talked about the fact that 417 00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:51,480 Speaker 1: it didn't happen on the off Tuesday, had happened on 418 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,320 Speaker 1: a Saturday, which is an awkward time to have teams 419 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,760 Speaker 1: ship people out to a second location, and that there's 420 00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:00,720 Speaker 1: a lot of other with the waiver that Kaepernick was 421 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:02,960 Speaker 1: asked to sign going on with that, right, Like, there's 422 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:05,960 Speaker 1: takes about the waiver and I feel like you need 423 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,080 Speaker 1: a low degree to break it down. And I read 424 00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:12,240 Speaker 1: a couple of articles Brian uh McCann on Sports Illustrated 425 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,480 Speaker 1: and Mike Florio wrote about it, and they explained it better, 426 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:16,440 Speaker 1: Like I don't I don't even feel like having an opinion, 427 00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 1: you know, like being informed enough to talk about that. 428 00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:23,160 Speaker 1: But I guess I understood why he decided to do 429 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,119 Speaker 1: it as he did it, and it doesn't seem like 430 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:28,439 Speaker 1: it would, you know, totally. I mean that no owner 431 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 1: could just make a decision down the line. It just 432 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 1: felt doomed from the very start. It felt from the 433 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:36,720 Speaker 1: time of the announcement, and then when Saturday when you 434 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,360 Speaker 1: heard that there was there was a catch here. That 435 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,560 Speaker 1: was all expected because my one thought about the whole 436 00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,320 Speaker 1: thing and I you see it from both sides, and 437 00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:48,399 Speaker 1: you see there's this trust from Kaepernick's camp towards the NFL, 438 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:50,879 Speaker 1: and perhaps likewise based on the way this was all 439 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:55,520 Speaker 1: planned out. Um My, my general thought is that I 440 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:58,199 Speaker 1: came out of this thinking because of the way it 441 00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:02,439 Speaker 1: was set up that Kaepernick's mindset it was almost more 442 00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna let the NFL dictate the terms of 443 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,840 Speaker 1: what this is. I'm gonna show them that I'm in 444 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 1: control of this situation. This is my story, and I'm 445 00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 1: gonna tell it the way I want to tell it. 446 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:14,440 Speaker 1: And perhaps, and I'm not even saying this is the 447 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:16,520 Speaker 1: wrong thing for him his mindset, because he's been through 448 00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:18,760 Speaker 1: a lot over the last three years, perhaps he put 449 00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:21,399 Speaker 1: that a war, if you will, with the NFL ahead 450 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,240 Speaker 1: of actually trying to get hired to play football. Because 451 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,080 Speaker 1: there are people out there that took out of this, uh, 452 00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:29,480 Speaker 1: ESPN Stephen A. Smith was a very vocal person and 453 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,359 Speaker 1: on this front that this all felt like just a 454 00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:34,879 Speaker 1: total pr move by Kaepernick in a show that he 455 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:37,080 Speaker 1: put on to to be in the be in the 456 00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:40,320 Speaker 1: media and and stay as a figure, you know, wearing 457 00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:43,640 Speaker 1: the Kunta Kinte shirt and uh, you know, the big 458 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:46,760 Speaker 1: statement to the press. All that stuff felt like a 459 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,840 Speaker 1: show more than actual guy trying to get hired. Um. 460 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:53,720 Speaker 1: But that's my feeling is it's just so doomed. There's 461 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:56,320 Speaker 1: too much mistrust on both sides for this ever to 462 00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:58,159 Speaker 1: end with him getting work again. I don't think he 463 00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,280 Speaker 1: plays again. I don't think anything changed. In fact, I 464 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 1: think it's worse off than it was a week ago. 465 00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:04,080 Speaker 1: I thought all along the number one hurdle as you 466 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,280 Speaker 1: cannot force a team to believe a free agent is 467 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:10,920 Speaker 1: worth signing. No team thinks he's worth signing. Uh. And 468 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:14,439 Speaker 1: along with Greg, I've had some level of optimism before 469 00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:18,840 Speaker 1: the change of venue that some leader among the coaches, 470 00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:21,480 Speaker 1: among the GM, some leader out there says, I'll take 471 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:26,680 Speaker 1: the disruption to my routine, these people being strong creatures 472 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:28,879 Speaker 1: of habit during the football season, I'll take it on 473 00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,920 Speaker 1: me to change my routine to have that disruption during 474 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:33,840 Speaker 1: the week. I'll go on a limb and do it. 475 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,320 Speaker 1: And then he changed the venue, made it a headache 476 00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:39,639 Speaker 1: for everyone. And I don't see any point where someone's 477 00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:42,760 Speaker 1: gonna say this guy is worth signing. He to me, 478 00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:46,160 Speaker 1: he's even less worth signing now after what happened with that. Well, 479 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 1: I think what should inform all of this is something 480 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 1: you know, people are like, well, what changed. You know 481 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:54,200 Speaker 1: he's been out of lake for three years. Well, here's 482 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:58,000 Speaker 1: what changed. The NFL and Colin Kaepernick agreed to a 483 00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:01,720 Speaker 1: settlement that in a case where the NFL was being 484 00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:05,640 Speaker 1: alleged to collude against providing him employment. That's what happened 485 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:09,000 Speaker 1: this year. So I don't know why happened this weekend 486 00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:12,320 Speaker 1: versus some other time during this year, but that to 487 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:17,239 Speaker 1: me informs everything between these two sides. Like that, I mean, 488 00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:19,760 Speaker 1: there's there is no other player like people like well 489 00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:23,719 Speaker 1: could other veterans like, there is no other player like 490 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,760 Speaker 1: Colin Kaepernick in the history the NFL. You're not just 491 00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:31,359 Speaker 1: signing another backup quarterback. You know he's gonna He's gonna 492 00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:34,240 Speaker 1: be Colin Kaepernick. That's who you would be signing up for. 493 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:36,920 Speaker 1: What's not changed, though, is that you have thirty two 494 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:39,960 Speaker 1: owners and I this is just my personal belief, there 495 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:43,200 Speaker 1: isn't one among them right now that wants the distraction 496 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:46,959 Speaker 1: and the sponsorship hit and other things to come along 497 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:49,680 Speaker 1: with bringing Colin Kaepernick in at this point, who's not 498 00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:53,200 Speaker 1: a starting quarterback necessarily, there are a lot of coaches 499 00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:55,439 Speaker 1: that are not gonna want to go fight that battle 500 00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:57,159 Speaker 1: with their own owner. If it was gonna happen, it 501 00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 1: would happen when to me in the off season when 502 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,080 Speaker 1: the ross there's are ninety men and things are just 503 00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:07,000 Speaker 1: a little different than right now. Who even needs a 504 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,520 Speaker 1: backup quarterback right now? Where they're gonna make this burning 505 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:14,000 Speaker 1: the host headline Houston Texans, Well, I mean they You 506 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:16,480 Speaker 1: saw a J McCarron in a game last week. Um, 507 00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:19,360 Speaker 1: all right, let's move on. We mentioned David Tepper, he's 508 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:24,719 Speaker 1: the Panther's owner, and he spoke on Monday after the 509 00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:28,920 Speaker 1: team's loss to the Falcons and ugly loss to three 510 00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 1: UM that dropped the Panthers to five and five, their 511 00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:36,400 Speaker 1: second straight loss. There's also um, you know, really bad 512 00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:38,840 Speaker 1: loss to the Niners that's really kind of put into 513 00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:41,879 Speaker 1: focus h that this is kind of a team that 514 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,720 Speaker 1: might be mediocre. And David Tepper, the owner who bought 515 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:48,639 Speaker 1: the team a couple of years ago, UH told reporters 516 00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:53,360 Speaker 1: that his mood is to use his word every time 517 00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:56,560 Speaker 1: they lose, and he added that he does not want 518 00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 1: to have a mediocre team. Mediocrity is not what he 519 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,359 Speaker 1: wants the Panthers to be associated with. It's been that 520 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:05,320 Speaker 1: way for too much of the team's history. Um, Mark, 521 00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:07,200 Speaker 1: what did you take out of these comments? He also 522 00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:10,560 Speaker 1: left the door open for um Cam Newton remaining with 523 00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:13,040 Speaker 1: the team. But this does sound like a guy now 524 00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:15,240 Speaker 1: that he's got his you know, his feet on the 525 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:16,920 Speaker 1: ground with this job, that might be ready to make 526 00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:19,399 Speaker 1: some noise. I think David Tepper is one of the 527 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:23,399 Speaker 1: new wave of owners who is UH can have come 528 00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:25,520 Speaker 1: from a different place than some others. And this is 529 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:28,400 Speaker 1: the moment where in a season with a team that's 530 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:31,639 Speaker 1: been swirling in questions about what will happen with Ron Rivera. 531 00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:34,680 Speaker 1: Oh and now everyone just assumes Cam Newton's out the door. 532 00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:36,760 Speaker 1: The owner is saying, I don't speak much, but when 533 00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:39,520 Speaker 1: I do, I'm gonna remind you that everyone here serves, 534 00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:41,720 Speaker 1: as they say, in the White House, at the pleasure 535 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:43,720 Speaker 1: of the owner of this company. And he was a 536 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:47,080 Speaker 1: very active business owner. And you know, you have these 537 00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:50,520 Speaker 1: guys that buy teams as a plaything to invite their 538 00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:52,159 Speaker 1: friends to and sit up in the box, and they 539 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:54,719 Speaker 1: want nothing to do with the football side. David Tepper 540 00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,359 Speaker 1: has never struck me as that at all. He is 541 00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:00,600 Speaker 1: hands on now, not in a necessarily met us some way, 542 00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:03,320 Speaker 1: but in a way where he knows has his own 543 00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:06,560 Speaker 1: strong opinions about what he's observed with Ron Rivera where 544 00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:08,600 Speaker 1: the team's at right now, and certainly on the Cam 545 00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:12,000 Speaker 1: Newton front, saying no one's gonna tell me what happens 546 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:15,000 Speaker 1: with Cam Newton. I'm gonna tell you. Yeah. He might 547 00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:17,840 Speaker 1: have been sending a message there of how these reports 548 00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:21,119 Speaker 1: get out. Reading between the lines. He did, you know, 549 00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:24,920 Speaker 1: clean house immediately with the Panthers on the business side 550 00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:26,840 Speaker 1: of things, and you know it's not something that we cover, 551 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:30,639 Speaker 1: but he changed out a lot of people, brought in 552 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:34,199 Speaker 1: his own people, and the continued mediocrity line is the 553 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:38,560 Speaker 1: one that apparently he hit multiple times during the interview, 554 00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:41,760 Speaker 1: and it reminded me that the Panthers have never had 555 00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:45,280 Speaker 1: winning consecutive winning seasons in the history of their franchise, 556 00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:47,920 Speaker 1: which includes the nine years Ron Rivera has been there. 557 00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:51,840 Speaker 1: He's gone win, you know, winning season, losing season basically 558 00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:54,280 Speaker 1: every year since two thousand twelve, after starting with two 559 00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:58,360 Speaker 1: straight losing seasons, and that spells trouble, you know, because 560 00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:02,880 Speaker 1: it's not like Rivera's defense is is playing sensationally. These 561 00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:05,960 Speaker 1: comments alone make me just believe that Hernie and Rivera 562 00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:09,240 Speaker 1: are gonna be gone unless they, you know, win six 563 00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:11,960 Speaker 1: straight games. Here also makes me thinks Kyle Allen will 564 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:15,760 Speaker 1: not be the quarterback because what is he if not mediocrity? Well, yeah, 565 00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:17,560 Speaker 1: at no point have I yeah, I have liked I 566 00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:20,640 Speaker 1: liked watching Kyle Island, but I thought his best case 567 00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:23,960 Speaker 1: scenario is competing with someone that probably has a better 568 00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:27,200 Speaker 1: chance to be the start right here. Uh. In other news, 569 00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:30,760 Speaker 1: the New England Patriots beat the Eagles seventeen ten, a 570 00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:33,360 Speaker 1: game where their defense stepped up and shut down Carson 571 00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:36,080 Speaker 1: Wentz and company. We you know, things move very quick 572 00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:38,920 Speaker 1: for us on Sunday, uh into Sunday night when we 573 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,200 Speaker 1: tape our show, So I didn't. I didn't see. I 574 00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:42,680 Speaker 1: don't know if you guys that I didn't even see 575 00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,880 Speaker 1: the Brady comments. But it became a story on Monday 576 00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:50,000 Speaker 1: about how dejected he was after the game, upset about 577 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:53,880 Speaker 1: the play of the offense. Uh, so far this season, Ricky, 578 00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,560 Speaker 1: we have a little bit of that up and down. 579 00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:59,040 Speaker 1: That's what it looks like to me. So, yeah, we 580 00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:04,080 Speaker 1: probably do everything better. Yeah, well, we just played for 581 00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:06,760 Speaker 1: three hours, so I think everyone's a little tired. And 582 00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:10,000 Speaker 1: then they also asked him, Uh, what does he think 583 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,520 Speaker 1: will get the offense on track? I don't think it 584 00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:17,040 Speaker 1: matters what I think. That's what we do. And then 585 00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:20,240 Speaker 1: he's on the radio the next day doing one of 586 00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:24,000 Speaker 1: his spots on the Greg Hill Show that I didn't 587 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,480 Speaker 1: know that's the thing he does. Uh. He said the 588 00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:29,800 Speaker 1: strength of our team is our defense and special teams, 589 00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,280 Speaker 1: which I don't know. Mark, Does it feel like we're 590 00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:35,600 Speaker 1: this is a ropadope situation or do you think he 591 00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:40,040 Speaker 1: really is? Is this maybe a late period Peyton Manning 592 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:42,600 Speaker 1: thing where I'm I'm passing the torch on what makes 593 00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:45,560 Speaker 1: this team special? What what's going on? Break it down 594 00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:48,680 Speaker 1: from me, Mark, as only you can please mark, how 595 00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:51,160 Speaker 1: is yours? A few times? You got Tom Brady to 596 00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:55,000 Speaker 1: get this agitated. I don't like the next team coming 597 00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:57,720 Speaker 1: in to play the Patriots typically, I I this is 598 00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:01,040 Speaker 1: but is it's? Is this still? Is this different than 599 00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:07,640 Speaker 1: all the other years? Because different at all? Well, to me, 600 00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:11,840 Speaker 1: it's factually different that their efficiency in their offensive production 601 00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:15,640 Speaker 1: is average for the first time in sixteen seventeen years. 602 00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:18,080 Speaker 1: So when he spoke on Monday, I did listen to 603 00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,160 Speaker 1: that too, and his tone was much different on the 604 00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:25,200 Speaker 1: Greg I was not aware of it, but I do 605 00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:27,040 Speaker 1: know he's been on w E I and I guess 606 00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:30,880 Speaker 1: they've changed their programming. I wasn't. I had never heard 607 00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:35,160 Speaker 1: of it either. Uh. And he had a different tone, 608 00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:39,360 Speaker 1: which was talking about complementary football, saying we want a 609 00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:41,640 Speaker 1: super Bowl thirteen three and that was good. We lost 610 00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:45,160 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl three. Uh, that wasn't good. So I 611 00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:47,320 Speaker 1: don't know how many points I'm gonna need. It's a 612 00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:51,440 Speaker 1: complementary game. And I do think he's, you know, distraught 613 00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:53,800 Speaker 1: and disappointed. You come out of a bye week in 614 00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:56,560 Speaker 1: the Eagles defense handed it to them, and he wants 615 00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:58,720 Speaker 1: this offense to be great because he's not used to 616 00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:02,120 Speaker 1: coaching a mediocre offense. Then again, I do think what 617 00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:06,680 Speaker 1: he's saying about complimentary football informs what they do. He 618 00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:11,960 Speaker 1: doesn't throw interceptions, He gives up on plays amazingly quickly. 619 00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,240 Speaker 1: I mean, he does not risk anything. They are fourth 620 00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:17,520 Speaker 1: in the league and fewest turnovers, uh, and that's largely 621 00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:19,800 Speaker 1: because of Tom Brady. He doesn't take sacks because he 622 00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:23,680 Speaker 1: doesn't really take hits. He doesn't take interceptions. Aaron Rodgers 623 00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:26,080 Speaker 1: plays a very similar style. He's much more athletic, but 624 00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:29,240 Speaker 1: he plays a similar style. You know, he's not trying 625 00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:32,040 Speaker 1: to put the defense in a bad situation. I believe 626 00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:34,200 Speaker 1: that that he is kind of playing to the defense 627 00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:36,800 Speaker 1: where he's not being as aggressive because he knows they're good. 628 00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:39,240 Speaker 1: But that's gotta be humbling, and he doesn't want it 629 00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:41,440 Speaker 1: to stay that way. When you're used to rolling up 630 00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:44,160 Speaker 1: points with Rob Gronkowski every year, they usually pick up 631 00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:46,959 Speaker 1: steam in December, and last year was they found their 632 00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:49,800 Speaker 1: running game with Sony Michelle, and they were putting over 633 00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:52,240 Speaker 1: a hundred on everybody to complement that defense. And I 634 00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:55,120 Speaker 1: think that's what you're talking about with complementary football. The 635 00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:58,080 Speaker 1: running games the worst I've seen Isaiah went back who 636 00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:00,760 Speaker 1: was the most talked about two games played in his 637 00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:04,560 Speaker 1: life left tackle. I've ever heard Shack Mason played way 638 00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:07,160 Speaker 1: better what you got, Marshall Newhouse. Every week out there, 639 00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:09,640 Speaker 1: you're just like, okay, Hopefully a first round pick can 640 00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:11,720 Speaker 1: help you get improvement out of Shack Mason, and you 641 00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:14,600 Speaker 1: get Isaiah win back, and maybe Sony Michelle starts making 642 00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:16,960 Speaker 1: people miss again. Maybe you get a running back, maybe 643 00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:19,040 Speaker 1: you get a running game. Who knows? Can you can 644 00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:20,480 Speaker 1: you give me one? Now? Can you give me the 645 00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:24,320 Speaker 1: floors yours? Dan? The floor is now yours? He gone? 646 00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:28,480 Speaker 1: How many times have we done this? This is the year. 647 00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:33,480 Speaker 1: There are whispers and then we've talked about our show 648 00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:36,200 Speaker 1: that he is And I wanted to retire at Angeles. 649 00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:39,080 Speaker 1: They've they've won enough. I don't want to see any 650 00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:42,720 Speaker 1: uh any bad fine years. Just leave that is fine. 651 00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:46,280 Speaker 1: That is the high water mark of like descending Patriots 652 00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:50,200 Speaker 1: fandom just want Tom Brady to retire any other team, 653 00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:53,920 Speaker 1: and I just don't want an ugly end. I don't 654 00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:55,880 Speaker 1: think they could win without you know, they could certainly 655 00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:58,080 Speaker 1: win when he's gone to why off the Super Bowl 656 00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:00,240 Speaker 1: win where he he looked fine in the playoff. For 657 00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:02,080 Speaker 1: the most part, he's not the same guy physically. Would 658 00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:04,040 Speaker 1: you want him gone? I mean that just seems a 659 00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:07,240 Speaker 1: little bit like you've been given too much as at Yes, 660 00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:09,600 Speaker 1: of course they've won too much. They've achieved it all. 661 00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:13,600 Speaker 1: Let's move on to the next era, moving on to 662 00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:16,080 Speaker 1: the next Patriots story. Gronk will not be there to 663 00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:20,480 Speaker 1: help out Tom Brady this season. He had a you know, 664 00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:26,280 Speaker 1: a painfully transparent announcement scheduled for nine am uh this morning, 665 00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:29,560 Speaker 1: and as pretty much everyone expected, it wasn't an announcement 666 00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:31,799 Speaker 1: that he'd be coming back to the NFL, but rather 667 00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:35,600 Speaker 1: that he is in the business of partying. Let's listen 668 00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:39,040 Speaker 1: to a little bit of that. This is a bad 669 00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:43,240 Speaker 1: game plan, bro, you're still in the pro party career. Listen, 670 00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:46,760 Speaker 1: this isn't just some club event. This is a possible 671 00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:50,480 Speaker 1: center around from you. You can turn it down a 672 00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:53,960 Speaker 1: little bit, Ricky, but keep it up. I just I 673 00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:57,799 Speaker 1: get it, Gronk. I get it, Like you're you're a businessman. Now, 674 00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:01,080 Speaker 1: can we stop hammering this? So it's like Kyle Shanahan 675 00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:03,279 Speaker 1: with the flat brind cat. So we're talking about it. 676 00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:06,160 Speaker 1: It's no, but it's like does anyone want you to 677 00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:09,280 Speaker 1: talk about more that he's not just a football player, 678 00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:14,000 Speaker 1: he's a businessman. We get it. Enjoy your party. That's 679 00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:16,719 Speaker 1: what this is. It's a Gronk party at Miami for 680 00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:19,120 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. Kevin Patra tweeted at me, said, are 681 00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:21,799 Speaker 1: you going to resurrect the super Bowl party beat, which 682 00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:25,000 Speaker 1: I once once covered for this website. I will not be. 683 00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:27,400 Speaker 1: I will not be at the Gronk beach getting some 684 00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:31,320 Speaker 1: firefest vibes from Oh that would be so gronk fest. 685 00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:37,680 Speaker 1: Just people people stranded looking for food. Are you dang? 686 00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:39,799 Speaker 1: You've given up on the idea that he's coming back. Yeah, 687 00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:41,279 Speaker 1: I'm taking the l on that. But you know what, 688 00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:43,919 Speaker 1: I still even when when I made the sandwich prop 689 00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:47,120 Speaker 1: that Gronk will play by December, I knew it was 690 00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:50,000 Speaker 1: a win win situation. Either I lose a sandwich or 691 00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:55,560 Speaker 1: Grounk doesn't play, and I don't. Never you never actually 692 00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:59,279 Speaker 1: exchange sandwiches, you does anything. Um And one more note, 693 00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:00,799 Speaker 1: he does set at the say at the end of 694 00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:04,440 Speaker 1: that infernal video that he uh, he's done playing this year, 695 00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:07,000 Speaker 1: so he'll be back with the Patriots next year. I'll 696 00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,239 Speaker 1: put another sandwich on that I'll double down. Maybe he's 697 00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:10,960 Speaker 1: taking a look at that New England offense and saying 698 00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:12,239 Speaker 1: I don't want to be a part of that, and 699 00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:18,560 Speaker 1: it would take me on a sandwich. Why not this year? 700 00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:26,200 Speaker 1: What a goober um a chooche he is? Uh, you 701 00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:27,800 Speaker 1: take me up on that? Doesn't have to be with 702 00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:29,600 Speaker 1: the Patriots. And he's playing in the NFL next year. 703 00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:31,799 Speaker 1: He said, he's a business man. That's what that comment was. 704 00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:35,240 Speaker 1: Maybe next year or whatever. I'll take you on that. Okay, 705 00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:38,880 Speaker 1: I mean, why not playing next year? I'll take you 706 00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:40,880 Speaker 1: on it. That's a win win too for me. You know, 707 00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:45,160 Speaker 1: he comes back, that'd be great. Finally, in the news, 708 00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:47,719 Speaker 1: this also popped up Sunday that the Redskins had a 709 00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:50,719 Speaker 1: disheartening loss to the Jets at home. Greg, you mentioned it. 710 00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:56,359 Speaker 1: Uh there was even a THOMASO wrote a column calling 711 00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:58,799 Speaker 1: it the low point in the team's history. Nobody at 712 00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:02,160 Speaker 1: the game that they've lost us the city. Uh. Well, 713 00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:04,960 Speaker 1: it got worse because there was a sideline video that 714 00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:08,319 Speaker 1: kind of went viral by the local NBC affiliate down 715 00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:12,879 Speaker 1: there that showed Dwayne Haskins, who's obviously had a tough 716 00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:15,719 Speaker 1: go of it so far in his rookie season, he 717 00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:19,400 Speaker 1: doesn't have a lot of help um imploring his teammates 718 00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:21,759 Speaker 1: as he's taking a beating against the Jets. I think 719 00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:24,840 Speaker 1: he was sacked five times. What can I do to 720 00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:27,880 Speaker 1: help you? What can I do to help you? And 721 00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:30,160 Speaker 1: the lineman for the most part, and just kind of 722 00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:33,279 Speaker 1: sitting there. And that led to a lot of speculation 723 00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:36,200 Speaker 1: greg both ways that this was a bad look for Haskins, 724 00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:38,799 Speaker 1: This is a bad look for the Redskins. Well, we 725 00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,919 Speaker 1: are the offensive line. We don't really know the whole 726 00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:45,640 Speaker 1: story between the interaction and everything around what's going on 727 00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:47,759 Speaker 1: behind the scenes there. But in general, it's just yet 728 00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:50,520 Speaker 1: another kind of this is uh, not a great time 729 00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:53,239 Speaker 1: in the history of the Washington Redskins. I don't know. 730 00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:54,920 Speaker 1: I thought it was faster. You're gonna say it's a 731 00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:56,400 Speaker 1: great time in the history of the No, no, no, 732 00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:58,839 Speaker 1: I just mean the video. The video I didn't put 733 00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:03,720 Speaker 1: any higher, wasn't wasn't great. I felt like I needed 734 00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:07,160 Speaker 1: to know more about the context. I didn't have any 735 00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:10,080 Speaker 1: like hot takes, good or bad. I just found it 736 00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:14,120 Speaker 1: interesting to watch. I think that like great great podcast 737 00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:15,840 Speaker 1: s fodder, But like, I don't know, I feel like 738 00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:17,759 Speaker 1: I need to know more like of their relationship, and 739 00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:21,279 Speaker 1: that's maybe that's a pretty happened. I put this on 740 00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:23,840 Speaker 1: par with what Greg has said about telling teams what 741 00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:27,000 Speaker 1: they should do with injured players. The disconnect between what 742 00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:30,959 Speaker 1: you're seeing thousands of miles away on a video out 743 00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:33,799 Speaker 1: of context, versus what's going on on a sideline during 744 00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:35,880 Speaker 1: the game. You can't make heads or tails of it. 745 00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:37,640 Speaker 1: I think I don't think you can sit there and 746 00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:39,520 Speaker 1: and translate what's going on on. It was one where 747 00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:42,319 Speaker 1: I wanted to hear what ex players said, and interestingly, 748 00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:45,040 Speaker 1: there were I feel like equal people on both sides 749 00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:47,080 Speaker 1: who thought it was great and or thought it was 750 00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:49,520 Speaker 1: terrible that you have to earn that and a whole 751 00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:52,760 Speaker 1: damn it. I maybe this maybe someone it's a veteran 752 00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:55,319 Speaker 1: teammate right now with Morgan Moses said that it was 753 00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:58,440 Speaker 1: him just trying to figure out because we're a veteran 754 00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:00,719 Speaker 1: group what we've got. You're looking at me, you want 755 00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:02,359 Speaker 1: me to come up with a different take that He's 756 00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:04,160 Speaker 1: also I don't need anybody on my side on this. 757 00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:06,520 Speaker 1: I saw it. I don't think it's I. I don't 758 00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:08,640 Speaker 1: think it's I think that that Redskins have been an 759 00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:12,080 Speaker 1: absolute train wreck. They are running the most bland offense. 760 00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:14,800 Speaker 1: That dude that does nothing to help with rookie quarterback, 761 00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:18,240 Speaker 1: and he was probably out of his shell trying literally 762 00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:21,760 Speaker 1: trying to plead with these guys, let's wake up and 763 00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:23,680 Speaker 1: and get some advice. So what did you see, Dan? 764 00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:26,000 Speaker 1: An offensive line that wants nothing to do with that quarterback. 765 00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:27,480 Speaker 1: I don't want to say that. I don't want to 766 00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:29,759 Speaker 1: say that. I just thought in general, there was there 767 00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:32,319 Speaker 1: seemed to be. There wasn't a lot of passion, there 768 00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:34,960 Speaker 1: wasn't a team working together thirty four to three at 769 00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:40,680 Speaker 1: the time it was, And there was a telling moment 770 00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:43,640 Speaker 1: to watch the video at the very end, Haskins pleading 771 00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:46,080 Speaker 1: for any type of feedback. He gets very little of it. 772 00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:48,640 Speaker 1: There's even a linement that Greg you even said yourself 773 00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:50,480 Speaker 1: looked like he kind of rolled his eyes almost there's 774 00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:53,160 Speaker 1: one guy who was really just kind of but that's 775 00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:54,799 Speaker 1: not a good look. And then at the very end 776 00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:57,880 Speaker 1: of the video, Haskins essentially just turns and almost in 777 00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:01,600 Speaker 1: a dejected uh way bodyline, who drives walks away. It's like, 778 00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:03,920 Speaker 1: I went to these guys, how can we fix this? 779 00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:06,120 Speaker 1: How can can I help you in terms of the protection, 780 00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:08,719 Speaker 1: get the ball quick, or make better decisions. There was 781 00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:10,520 Speaker 1: no back and forth about how do we fix this, 782 00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:13,279 Speaker 1: and he just walked away. Nothing solved, although they did 783 00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:15,400 Speaker 1: score ports right, and they'd score the next couple of 784 00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:18,320 Speaker 1: times they have. If having a co worker like disinterested 785 00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:20,920 Speaker 1: in what you say was a like a killer flaw, 786 00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:22,760 Speaker 1: like I would have been out of this company about 787 00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:26,360 Speaker 1: fifties thousand different times. Right. I think in that situation, 788 00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:28,759 Speaker 1: thirty four to three, after a long season in a 789 00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:33,080 Speaker 1: long decade, any rookie quarterback, no matter is personality or whatever, 790 00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:35,320 Speaker 1: in that situation is going to get the same treatment. 791 00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:38,240 Speaker 1: I usually have interesting things unless you start talking about tennis. 792 00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:42,680 Speaker 1: That's the only time I kind of start to you know, dude, 793 00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:44,400 Speaker 1: I guess maybe you're on a thread. Were like the 794 00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:46,960 Speaker 1: Jets are quarterback records and they you know, they go 795 00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:50,120 Speaker 1: from city to city destroying offenses. I'm not sure I'm 796 00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:53,080 Speaker 1: I'm with you on that either. Uh, I don't. I 797 00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:55,640 Speaker 1: don't know what that means, but uh, it is a 798 00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:57,640 Speaker 1: bad sign when the Jets are wrecking you in the 799 00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:00,879 Speaker 1: backfield because they can't get any a great sign. All right, 800 00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:04,160 Speaker 1: it's back Maybe for the last time ever. So make 801 00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:08,920 Speaker 1: sure you enjoy this everyone. Um. Greg had detailed copious 802 00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:11,239 Speaker 1: notes of that he he had he had ended it. 803 00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:13,080 Speaker 1: He tried to get us to sign a contract, and 804 00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:15,560 Speaker 1: we weren't comfortable with I don't know what you're talking about. 805 00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:19,680 Speaker 1: So we moved. We moved the conversation, UH to another room. 806 00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:22,480 Speaker 1: It's this studio. It's stick a fork in a reboot. 807 00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:27,480 Speaker 1: I'm just happy to remember something better than someone else's. 808 00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:30,759 Speaker 1: I first, so what is As I said at the 809 00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:34,080 Speaker 1: top of the show, this is when we go through UH, 810 00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:38,360 Speaker 1: we go through the league and we make a strong, strong, 811 00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:45,240 Speaker 1: strong declaration that a finite decision. Does that make sense 812 00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:49,520 Speaker 1: that their season is over? When we bring up and 813 00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:51,399 Speaker 1: and we had to when we did it. We would 814 00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:53,399 Speaker 1: occasionally bring up, you know, just one or two teams 815 00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:55,600 Speaker 1: a week and have a long discussion. We're pretty deep 816 00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:57,640 Speaker 1: into this podcast. The key though, was it had to 817 00:41:57,680 --> 00:41:59,800 Speaker 1: be unanimous, because it's got to be in it. That 818 00:41:59,920 --> 00:42:01,279 Speaker 1: was to what There was a lot of a lot 819 00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:03,799 Speaker 1: of hurt feelings over the year. You know, it's tough 820 00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:06,960 Speaker 1: to get that unanimous agreement. I can already tell you 821 00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:09,000 Speaker 1: how this can go. Mark and I any team that 822 00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:12,759 Speaker 1: is borderline boring to watch. We want them forked, and 823 00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:16,680 Speaker 1: Greg's can all right, let's see how let's see how 824 00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:19,840 Speaker 1: it plays out. And I'll use uh the Power rankings 825 00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:22,759 Speaker 1: as a guide here, So, uh, we'll start twenty to 826 00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:30,840 Speaker 1: thirty two. Bengals, Redskins, Giants, Dolphins, Bucks, everybody in favor 827 00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:36,439 Speaker 1: of the fork. Yeah, Bengals officially eliminated Cynthia Freeland three 828 00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:42,040 Speaker 1: and seven. They're done. Cynthia's coming on Thursday, right, He's 829 00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:46,400 Speaker 1: joining us on our recap, so you know, we can 830 00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:49,160 Speaker 1: break that news. She said that she had to put 831 00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:51,279 Speaker 1: that the Bengals had a one percent chance and all 832 00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:53,320 Speaker 1: the teams at the bottom had a one percent chance 833 00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:57,040 Speaker 1: going into last week, even though they had zero percent chance. 834 00:42:57,080 --> 00:42:59,680 Speaker 1: That the NFL was making her say that there was zero, 835 00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:01,840 Speaker 1: you know, even though the maths said, if you round 836 00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:04,279 Speaker 1: it down, you're rounded down to zero. To ask her 837 00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:06,799 Speaker 1: about that, to me, is so they had no chance. 838 00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:09,880 Speaker 1: A while back they asked her to compromise her model. Wait, 839 00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:12,840 Speaker 1: so it wasn't zero, it was yeah, it was like point. 840 00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:15,719 Speaker 1: It was like point you know, one or point oh one. 841 00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:17,520 Speaker 1: And so she had to put because I was like 842 00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:19,799 Speaker 1: one percent for the Bengals, that seems high like go 843 00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:21,799 Speaker 1: they were, Oh night, how could it even be one? 844 00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:24,600 Speaker 1: If there's a chance, there's a chance. All right, So 845 00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:26,880 Speaker 1: all in favor of the fork for those teams, says I, 846 00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:30,760 Speaker 1: What a what a time it's been as a gamus. 847 00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:32,800 Speaker 1: A lot more debate over the Bengals than I expected. 848 00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:34,840 Speaker 1: Right there, I didn't catch an eye. What's the state 849 00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:37,640 Speaker 1: of you, you know in your fandom for Jamis? Oh 850 00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:41,080 Speaker 1: it's over? Whoa, that's big news. Are you in favor 851 00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:43,800 Speaker 1: of the fork? Yeah? Yeah, good, good? All right? Is 852 00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:47,160 Speaker 1: your daughter is still a fan? Seven is never a 853 00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:51,000 Speaker 1: fan of Jamis? She just like uniforms the name to 854 00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:53,520 Speaker 1: twenty three? We got the Jets. I like that they 855 00:43:53,560 --> 00:44:01,799 Speaker 1: got out of this last group that was cute. Cardinals, Lions, Roncoes, Uh, 856 00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:06,799 Speaker 1: Broncos So Broncos, Lions, Cardinals, Jets. I'm in favor of 857 00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:08,600 Speaker 1: forking them all. It would have been interesting if the 858 00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:11,160 Speaker 1: Broncos had finished off that Vikings game had been four 859 00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:15,120 Speaker 1: and six, but they didn't. Gonners everyone they gone they 860 00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:18,239 Speaker 1: go all right, so far, so good, Greg, I thought 861 00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:19,879 Speaker 1: you were going to make your push for the Jets there. 862 00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:22,400 Speaker 1: That's why they got out of the bottom tier. They're not. 863 00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:24,399 Speaker 1: I mean, they're twenty seven out of thirty two. They're 864 00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:26,000 Speaker 1: only one game behind the Browns, who are going to 865 00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:29,960 Speaker 1: talk about I suspect Browns have a tiebreaker on the Jets. 866 00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:33,960 Speaker 1: All right, here we go. Next group, although the Browns 867 00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:37,600 Speaker 1: are going Yeah, the Jets are three and seven. It's 868 00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:46,919 Speaker 1: pretty tough, all right, Next group, Bears, Falcons, Greg's Falcons. Great, 869 00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:56,280 Speaker 1: this will be a real test. Browns, Jaguars, Chargers. Okay, well, 870 00:44:57,239 --> 00:45:00,320 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna jump in and say I would fork 871 00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:05,399 Speaker 1: the Bears and the Falcons and the Chargers who all 872 00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:08,799 Speaker 1: have uh Actually, the Bears only have six losses, the 873 00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:12,359 Speaker 1: Falcons have seven, the Chargers have seven. I would fork 874 00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:14,920 Speaker 1: all of them. Despite you know, the Falcons I think 875 00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:17,080 Speaker 1: could make it interesting down the stretch, but they're in 876 00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:18,960 Speaker 1: the wrong conference at three and seven in the a 877 00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:21,080 Speaker 1: f C. The way they're looking, I would maybe give 878 00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:23,200 Speaker 1: them a chance. But right now, the Vikings are eight 879 00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:26,600 Speaker 1: and three and the Seahawks are eight and two. Worst 880 00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:29,279 Speaker 1: case scenario, you need ten wins. I think it might. 881 00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:31,400 Speaker 1: It's probably gonna take eleven wins. I think the odds 882 00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:33,480 Speaker 1: would say you're gonna need eleven in the NFC, so 883 00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:35,839 Speaker 1: even nine wouldn't get it done. Even if they did, 884 00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:38,560 Speaker 1: you know, run the table. They banged themselves with that one. 885 00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:41,319 Speaker 1: That's seventh loss before they've gotten hot. Even if they 886 00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:44,759 Speaker 1: get super hot, it's probably doomed. So I'm surprised, though, 887 00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:46,640 Speaker 1: So you're gonna fork the Falcons in a big spot? 888 00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:50,000 Speaker 1: I will just because I I legit think if they 889 00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:53,680 Speaker 1: win eight straight they're out, which is you know, there's 890 00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:56,200 Speaker 1: still they would need the Saints to collapse. There's still 891 00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:58,919 Speaker 1: a way if you do the ESPN playoffs. Yeah, there's 892 00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:01,680 Speaker 1: certainly it can get a second seed. Still, now that 893 00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:04,439 Speaker 1: is not happening. I am happily. I'm fine to fork 894 00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:08,000 Speaker 1: the Falcons at this point. Too much self inflicted wounds, 895 00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:11,759 Speaker 1: all right. I am not comfortable forking your Browns yet, Mark, 896 00:46:12,280 --> 00:46:14,960 Speaker 1: I will wait until Sunday night. I noticed Greg did 897 00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:17,000 Speaker 1: not have them on his list of approved teams for 898 00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:19,759 Speaker 1: forky right. I I'm with Dan. I would not want 899 00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:23,000 Speaker 1: to fork them because their schedule schedules Cake. You know, 900 00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:26,040 Speaker 1: if Garrett hadn't been suspended, I think there'd be a 901 00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:28,920 Speaker 1: real feel that they're gonna that they can beat mine 902 00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:32,799 Speaker 1: Miami this week, and that the Pittsburgh game is the 903 00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:35,319 Speaker 1: toughest game they have until they play the Ravens I 904 00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:38,200 Speaker 1: think in week sixteen, so that Pittsburgh game would have 905 00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:39,839 Speaker 1: been the key one for them. I still don't think 906 00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:43,080 Speaker 1: they're out of it, and I also talking about this 907 00:46:43,120 --> 00:46:46,200 Speaker 1: with Mark this morning and looking at the standings. Maybe 908 00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:48,240 Speaker 1: eleven wins is what you need to get a wild 909 00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:50,399 Speaker 1: card in the NFC, but we always seem to shoot 910 00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:52,520 Speaker 1: a little high with that. I think attend when team 911 00:46:52,520 --> 00:46:54,720 Speaker 1: will probably get in the NFC. That means the vikings 912 00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:57,120 Speaker 1: which could happen, don't vikings in the Seahawks would have 913 00:46:57,160 --> 00:46:59,480 Speaker 1: to go to They'd have to go under the rest 914 00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:01,319 Speaker 1: of them. Don't will out of nine and seven team 915 00:47:01,320 --> 00:47:03,360 Speaker 1: making it in the a f C. I think everyone 916 00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:05,560 Speaker 1: just assumes, oh, you gotta get to ten. But the 917 00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:08,120 Speaker 1: Browns will get to nine and like at four and 918 00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:10,960 Speaker 1: six with a soft schedule. Now, they could also lose 919 00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:12,360 Speaker 1: three in a row right now. I I they're a 920 00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:15,760 Speaker 1: hard team to figure out, but they will have uh markets, 921 00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:17,279 Speaker 1: you pointed out to me they played the Bills, so 922 00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:20,080 Speaker 1: they have the tiebreaker on the Bills if they win 923 00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:23,359 Speaker 1: it must win against the Steelers. Basically, if they win 924 00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:25,480 Speaker 1: that game, they sweep the Steelers and they'll have the 925 00:47:25,480 --> 00:47:28,319 Speaker 1: tiebreaker there and then you have a real shot of things. 926 00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:30,480 Speaker 1: But I would add that you've got teams that two 927 00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:33,040 Speaker 1: weeks ago looked like they were heading in the right direction, 928 00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:35,640 Speaker 1: like the Chargers, that suddenly are four and seven and 929 00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:38,120 Speaker 1: heading in the wrong direction. Some of the trash is 930 00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:41,279 Speaker 1: heading downward. In AFC, you need the Raiders and or 931 00:47:41,360 --> 00:47:44,200 Speaker 1: the Bills, one of those teams to to stumble. But 932 00:47:44,239 --> 00:47:45,800 Speaker 1: I think that's very We'll get to the Bills, but 933 00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:48,400 Speaker 1: their schedule is not pleasant. Would you fork the Browns 934 00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:51,480 Speaker 1: was I would not fork the Browns unanimous. A f 935 00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:54,279 Speaker 1: C is two weak and the schedule is two weak. 936 00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:58,200 Speaker 1: Where are we at on the Jaguars, Yeah, I don't trust. 937 00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:00,319 Speaker 1: I think they're playing the wrong quarterback, and I know 938 00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:02,160 Speaker 1: I went back on that and said, I understand why 939 00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:05,719 Speaker 1: they're playing fools, but especially with this offensive line, I 940 00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:09,320 Speaker 1: just like took a lot of hits. Stardner Minsho's playing 941 00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:12,520 Speaker 1: style with this team better. I'm gonna keep them alive. 942 00:48:12,719 --> 00:48:15,000 Speaker 1: I don't feel great about it. This is definitely a 943 00:48:15,040 --> 00:48:19,040 Speaker 1: dirt knap game in Tennessee, where I think on Sunday 944 00:48:19,080 --> 00:48:22,480 Speaker 1: the loser loser goes home, because if the Titans lose, 945 00:48:22,520 --> 00:48:26,000 Speaker 1: they'll have gotten swept by the Jaguars. Jacksonville won that 946 00:48:26,080 --> 00:48:30,000 Speaker 1: game with I'm I'm with you guys in the sense 947 00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:32,319 Speaker 1: that and I'm on record on the spot not being 948 00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:34,600 Speaker 1: as big a fan as you guys are. But if 949 00:48:34,640 --> 00:48:37,399 Speaker 1: they if Foles doesn't move the needle in offense two 950 00:48:37,400 --> 00:48:39,520 Speaker 1: weeks in a row, I mean, it might be too 951 00:48:39,760 --> 00:48:41,520 Speaker 1: too late. If they are for I mean their defense 952 00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:43,719 Speaker 1: has to play a lot better, they need a lot 953 00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:46,440 Speaker 1: to do better. But they do not have an imposing schedule. 954 00:48:46,680 --> 00:48:48,520 Speaker 1: They the best team they play the rest of the 955 00:48:48,560 --> 00:48:52,600 Speaker 1: season record wise are the Colts and the Raiders, So 956 00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:55,480 Speaker 1: they really don't play any elite teams. Becauld they get 957 00:48:55,480 --> 00:48:57,000 Speaker 1: on a little run here, I think they could. Their 958 00:48:57,040 --> 00:48:59,320 Speaker 1: season is on the line. Thursday night, you might see 959 00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:02,760 Speaker 1: Minshoe at halftime if things were really really going south. 960 00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:08,280 Speaker 1: Sunday Sunday, Sunday Night, Sunday Day, Sunday Sunday. They actually 961 00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:13,480 Speaker 1: they're flexing nugets about broken Down Jack. They're like, you're 962 00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:15,920 Speaker 1: liked one Prime Time Jack's Titans game. Let's give you 963 00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:20,240 Speaker 1: a two we're forking the four and seven Chargers. Yeah, everybody, 964 00:49:22,480 --> 00:49:24,439 Speaker 1: I mean Rivers. They're going to kill them. I don't 965 00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:25,959 Speaker 1: care who they played. They're going to find a way 966 00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:29,200 Speaker 1: to let's to see them seven and seven next month. 967 00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:31,400 Speaker 1: I don't even know. I have to look at the schedule. 968 00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:34,399 Speaker 1: It's just kind of the Chargers way at Denver at 969 00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:38,120 Speaker 1: Jacksonville Home versus the Vikings home versus the Raiders at 970 00:49:38,239 --> 00:49:40,680 Speaker 1: Kansas City. That is not what you would call an 971 00:49:40,680 --> 00:49:44,359 Speaker 1: easy schedule. Seven and seven and then lose out. I mean, 972 00:49:44,360 --> 00:49:46,040 Speaker 1: they'll find a way to get your heart back. I 973 00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:48,440 Speaker 1: think they are more I think they're more likely to 974 00:49:48,480 --> 00:49:51,239 Speaker 1: go five and eleven than they are. All Right, you 975 00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:54,399 Speaker 1: got me convinced. I'll fork them, you guys, all right, Mark, 976 00:49:54,920 --> 00:49:57,800 Speaker 1: I didn't know Dan was gonna I'm happy to fork 977 00:49:57,880 --> 00:50:00,279 Speaker 1: as many teams as we can get consensed. The son 978 00:50:00,480 --> 00:50:03,000 Speaker 1: he's just he's just like permanent four. Well, it's like 979 00:50:03,080 --> 00:50:05,919 Speaker 1: we can mathematically get everyone back and vault if we want. 980 00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:07,719 Speaker 1: You still have to pay attention to these games for 981 00:50:07,719 --> 00:50:10,680 Speaker 1: the podcast, though, I have paid attention to every single 982 00:50:10,719 --> 00:50:13,680 Speaker 1: game from the beginning of the year until now. Okay, 983 00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:15,959 Speaker 1: there are no questions about that all right? Well now eight, 984 00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:18,480 Speaker 1: now it gets interesting. This is where the challenge. A 985 00:50:18,520 --> 00:50:21,120 Speaker 1: surprising result to me, that that we decided the Charger 986 00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:23,440 Speaker 1: season is over. Well, I mean I would end it. 987 00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:26,000 Speaker 1: Last said it last. I said before that game they 988 00:50:26,040 --> 00:50:27,880 Speaker 1: needed to win one of those games. They needed to 989 00:50:27,880 --> 00:50:30,240 Speaker 1: either beat the Raiders on the road or the Charges 990 00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:33,080 Speaker 1: of Mexico or the Chiefs of Mexico City. They didn't 991 00:50:33,080 --> 00:50:37,360 Speaker 1: do it too much to quote check. Just remember we 992 00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:40,160 Speaker 1: didn't do this to you do all right, Now it 993 00:50:40,160 --> 00:50:45,400 Speaker 1: gets tough. Titans, they're going eighteen to fourteen here um 994 00:50:45,680 --> 00:50:50,479 Speaker 1: Titans five and five, Panthers five and five, Steelers five 995 00:50:50,520 --> 00:50:56,160 Speaker 1: and five, Cults six and four, Bills seven and three. Well, 996 00:50:56,160 --> 00:50:58,720 Speaker 1: there's one obvious team here to me that is easy 997 00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:01,160 Speaker 1: to fork. I don't know. I'm gonna see if can 998 00:51:01,200 --> 00:51:03,120 Speaker 1: you guys guess which one. I think it's obvious. It's 999 00:51:03,120 --> 00:51:07,919 Speaker 1: the Panthers. They in the NFC. That team, I think 1000 00:51:07,920 --> 00:51:10,359 Speaker 1: what there's just what they got eight and eight would 1001 00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:13,040 Speaker 1: be a good outcome for them. And if I'm sticking 1002 00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:15,439 Speaker 1: with my theory that a nine and seven team gets 1003 00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:17,800 Speaker 1: into the n f C, well then I cannot eliminate 1004 00:51:17,840 --> 00:51:20,120 Speaker 1: the Titans. Who will go nine and seven as they 1005 00:51:20,160 --> 00:51:23,600 Speaker 1: always do. The Panthers played the Saints twice. The rest 1006 00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:25,960 Speaker 1: of the way they play at Indy, they play Seattle 1007 00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:28,640 Speaker 1: and they played Greg's jug or not the Folcon. We're 1008 00:51:28,640 --> 00:51:32,680 Speaker 1: just we're sticking a knife in two for anybody want 1009 00:51:32,719 --> 00:51:37,080 Speaker 1: to fork the Tytoons, the vision, the good all right, 1010 00:51:37,160 --> 00:51:42,440 Speaker 1: I'm with you. Uh, Steelers bad Thursday night. Uh, Rudolph 1011 00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:45,080 Speaker 1: could not have played worse. And that's in that stage. 1012 00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:48,799 Speaker 1: But I'm not ready to fork him. Won't do it now. 1013 00:51:48,840 --> 00:51:53,279 Speaker 1: This is one where I I would I would fork him. 1014 00:51:53,400 --> 00:51:56,680 Speaker 1: I would Uh what is it like an emotional fork? 1015 00:51:56,719 --> 00:51:59,880 Speaker 1: I'm thinking of trying to look at the bro and 1016 00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:03,799 Speaker 1: trying to look at the spiteful for just because, yeah, 1017 00:52:03,880 --> 00:52:07,960 Speaker 1: just because, like Mason Rudolph, you know, the story about 1018 00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:10,279 Speaker 1: him is obviously what happened last week, But that did, 1019 00:52:10,719 --> 00:52:13,600 Speaker 1: you know, over shadow us having to watch him play 1020 00:52:13,640 --> 00:52:16,239 Speaker 1: football for three hours before that, which was one of 1021 00:52:16,280 --> 00:52:19,960 Speaker 1: the worst performances we've seen. It was really what you know, 1022 00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:22,960 Speaker 1: it kind of ruined West's moment to crow about how 1023 00:52:23,040 --> 00:52:26,040 Speaker 1: right he was about Rudolf. But I will say that 1024 00:52:26,160 --> 00:52:29,000 Speaker 1: my doctor vaulty narrative by the way. My doctor is 1025 00:52:29,040 --> 00:52:31,480 Speaker 1: a huge Steelers fan, and and he I could tell 1026 00:52:31,560 --> 00:52:33,000 Speaker 1: he was just waiting for me to tell him that 1027 00:52:33,040 --> 00:52:35,080 Speaker 1: everything's gonna be all right. He said, what do you 1028 00:52:35,080 --> 00:52:37,359 Speaker 1: think of our quarterback? And I was like, well, let 1029 00:52:37,360 --> 00:52:40,880 Speaker 1: me unpack this one now. Their schedule is definitely a 1030 00:52:40,920 --> 00:52:43,000 Speaker 1: plus for them, and that's what Steelers fans have been 1031 00:52:43,600 --> 00:52:46,799 Speaker 1: holding on to all year, along with their defense. They 1032 00:52:46,840 --> 00:52:49,720 Speaker 1: do not play. They play. The Bills and the Ravens 1033 00:52:49,760 --> 00:52:52,320 Speaker 1: are the only two teams with winning records on their schedule. 1034 00:52:52,800 --> 00:52:55,239 Speaker 1: Uh so they they look at that Browns game and 1035 00:52:55,280 --> 00:52:57,480 Speaker 1: they see a winnable game, just like the Browns. Do 1036 00:52:57,680 --> 00:52:59,680 Speaker 1: you know that Bills as a tiebreaker game? I mean, 1037 00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:04,320 Speaker 1: if they were. The Steelers have damaged me so many 1038 00:53:04,360 --> 00:53:07,600 Speaker 1: times over the years, and it's with they haven't had 1039 00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:10,239 Speaker 1: seasons like this, But you want to count them out 1040 00:53:10,480 --> 00:53:14,520 Speaker 1: in their ultra resilient Yeah, I find a way to 1041 00:53:14,520 --> 00:53:16,799 Speaker 1: to eke back in. So I struggle to fork them. 1042 00:53:16,880 --> 00:53:18,840 Speaker 1: There's still a chance that Duck Hodges will make his 1043 00:53:18,880 --> 00:53:21,640 Speaker 1: way onto the field and save this season. Their defense 1044 00:53:21,800 --> 00:53:24,960 Speaker 1: is the best thing about any of these teams in 1045 00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:28,320 Speaker 1: this in this tiers that they do have a real 1046 00:53:28,360 --> 00:53:32,319 Speaker 1: strength um alright. Moving to the Colts, I think we 1047 00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:34,200 Speaker 1: all agree the Colts at six and four, I think 1048 00:53:34,239 --> 00:53:37,680 Speaker 1: we're done there. First place, the Bills at seven and three. 1049 00:53:38,120 --> 00:53:40,399 Speaker 1: How about the Eagles at five and five, because I'm 1050 00:53:40,440 --> 00:53:44,839 Speaker 1: ready to fork them a little bit of an emotional fork, 1051 00:53:45,200 --> 00:53:48,759 Speaker 1: that's all right. For five and five. They can't they 1052 00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:52,319 Speaker 1: can't score, and I don't see reinforcements on the way 1053 00:53:52,320 --> 00:53:55,479 Speaker 1: in Philly, and they're not gonna win. They're not gonna 1054 00:53:55,520 --> 00:53:57,600 Speaker 1: win the division. The Dallas is going to take the East, 1055 00:53:57,960 --> 00:54:00,239 Speaker 1: and then we're right back to the same conversation. At 1056 00:54:00,360 --> 00:54:03,320 Speaker 1: least ten wins is gonna get you a playoff spot, 1057 00:54:03,320 --> 00:54:05,600 Speaker 1: and they're five and five right now. They're gonna go 1058 00:54:05,680 --> 00:54:09,080 Speaker 1: five win five of six to close this thing. I 1059 00:54:09,120 --> 00:54:11,600 Speaker 1: think the Cowboys, who you know who have to play 1060 00:54:11,640 --> 00:54:13,640 Speaker 1: in New England. They both have tough games this Sunday. 1061 00:54:13,680 --> 00:54:15,759 Speaker 1: It's a big NFC East game that the Cowboys are 1062 00:54:15,800 --> 00:54:19,040 Speaker 1: in Foxborough and the Eagles have to host the Seahawks, 1063 00:54:19,080 --> 00:54:21,160 Speaker 1: so that you know, that could go either way for 1064 00:54:21,160 --> 00:54:23,960 Speaker 1: for those teams. But I still think the Eagles are 1065 00:54:23,960 --> 00:54:26,280 Speaker 1: going to be right in it. In Week sixteen, they 1066 00:54:26,320 --> 00:54:28,680 Speaker 1: they have a pretty easy schedule. The rest of it 1067 00:54:28,800 --> 00:54:32,839 Speaker 1: is Dolphins, Giants twice in Redskins. Sandwiched around those are 1068 00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:35,319 Speaker 1: four wins. I think. I think so too. And they 1069 00:54:35,320 --> 00:54:37,839 Speaker 1: had nine and they played the Cowboys like if they 1070 00:54:37,840 --> 00:54:41,240 Speaker 1: ever won that because definitely lose to the Giants once. 1071 00:54:42,080 --> 00:54:46,640 Speaker 1: And and I think Sunday's game against Seattle's huge to me. 1072 00:54:46,719 --> 00:54:49,480 Speaker 1: That's close to a coin flip in Philadelphia, I think 1073 00:54:49,480 --> 00:54:51,399 Speaker 1: they certainly have a chance to win that. I would 1074 00:54:51,480 --> 00:54:54,239 Speaker 1: like to do the emotional fork, but this schedule is 1075 00:54:54,239 --> 00:54:57,239 Speaker 1: too easy. So the Eagles survived, so we cut so 1076 00:54:57,560 --> 00:55:00,799 Speaker 1: so that wasn't the only one game behind the cow Boys, right, yeah, 1077 00:55:00,840 --> 00:55:02,719 Speaker 1: all right, let me read the list of teams that 1078 00:55:02,760 --> 00:55:09,040 Speaker 1: are forked. The Cincinnati Bengals, the Washington Redskins, the New 1079 00:55:09,080 --> 00:55:14,600 Speaker 1: York Giants, the g Man, the Miami Dolphins, top of 1080 00:55:14,719 --> 00:55:25,480 Speaker 1: the Bucaneers, the York Jots, Arizona Cardinals, the Try Lions, Broncos, 1081 00:55:27,560 --> 00:55:30,359 Speaker 1: and eyes rolled back into the back of his head 1082 00:55:30,400 --> 00:55:39,000 Speaker 1: when he pin you. Chicago Bears, stop Bears, the Atlanta Falcons, sorry, Craig, 1083 00:55:42,840 --> 00:55:51,279 Speaker 1: the Jacksonville's Yaguars, No we didn't kill apologies, the Los 1084 00:55:51,360 --> 00:56:03,920 Speaker 1: Angeles Superchary Years. They go the Carolina Panthers say, can 1085 00:56:03,960 --> 00:56:05,960 Speaker 1: you say the New York Jets one more time? In 1086 00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:10,879 Speaker 1: that person's get some guying green and get hit damn 1087 00:56:10,920 --> 00:56:15,280 Speaker 1: Josh Seph. So there you go. We forked and and 1088 00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:21,440 Speaker 1: Greg has he's taking notes. Hey, Mark, the Browns they 1089 00:56:21,520 --> 00:56:28,600 Speaker 1: gonna make the playoffs. Give us a heart that is accurate? Maybe, uh, 1090 00:56:28,640 --> 00:56:31,480 Speaker 1: if we get any of these wrong, this segment goes 1091 00:56:31,520 --> 00:56:34,239 Speaker 1: away forever. Who does a little jack? Who's most likely 1092 00:56:34,280 --> 00:56:35,600 Speaker 1: to come back to buy us? I don't think we 1093 00:56:35,640 --> 00:56:38,680 Speaker 1: took enough chances? Well we couldn't. We could have forked 1094 00:56:38,680 --> 00:56:40,719 Speaker 1: the Eagles. The Eagles would be the team most likely. 1095 00:56:41,400 --> 00:56:44,000 Speaker 1: You guys, don't want to change your minds on that. 1096 00:56:44,120 --> 00:56:47,680 Speaker 1: Come on, guys, taken interesting in forked the Eagles? No, 1097 00:56:47,840 --> 00:56:50,759 Speaker 1: I don't want to that. That would be the last team. 1098 00:56:51,040 --> 00:56:53,160 Speaker 1: Who there was maybe one team out there that we 1099 00:56:53,160 --> 00:56:55,080 Speaker 1: were a little bold, but not Oh yeah you got 1100 00:56:55,120 --> 00:56:58,600 Speaker 1: now you saved the Steelers. Yeah, I'm not forking. Get on, 1101 00:56:59,239 --> 00:57:01,480 Speaker 1: I've forked to see. Let's do it. Let's get bold 1102 00:57:02,160 --> 00:57:07,040 Speaker 1: fork call of Pennsylvania. Can't do it, won't do it. 1103 00:57:08,000 --> 00:57:10,880 Speaker 1: I could be talked into it too, Bills talked into it. 1104 00:57:12,040 --> 00:57:14,080 Speaker 1: Seven and three just to get the people of Western 1105 00:57:14,080 --> 00:57:18,160 Speaker 1: New York the rams. I mean, this is saying their 1106 00:57:18,200 --> 00:57:23,760 Speaker 1: seas you want to get bold. This is this is uh, 1107 00:57:24,120 --> 00:57:27,919 Speaker 1: this is saying the season's over. That's six and four. 1108 00:57:28,320 --> 00:57:31,240 Speaker 1: I'm not working. I would have done it. I would 1109 00:57:31,280 --> 00:57:35,000 Speaker 1: have done it all right before we get out of here. 1110 00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:38,680 Speaker 1: Thursday Night football preview a huge matchup in the a 1111 00:57:38,800 --> 00:57:43,520 Speaker 1: f C South Colts at Texans. UH Colts coming off 1112 00:57:43,520 --> 00:57:46,080 Speaker 1: a win but also a lost. They lost Marlon Mack, 1113 00:57:46,160 --> 00:57:49,440 Speaker 1: who has a fractured hand, and it's the hand that 1114 00:57:49,440 --> 00:57:53,480 Speaker 1: he carries the football with no bueno. Uh so one 1115 00:57:53,520 --> 00:57:56,360 Speaker 1: of their best players. In fact, some people might be 1116 00:57:56,440 --> 00:57:58,400 Speaker 1: I know, not the people in this studio, because you 1117 00:57:58,440 --> 00:58:01,040 Speaker 1: guys like I've never met people more plugged into the sport. 1118 00:58:01,760 --> 00:58:03,800 Speaker 1: But some people might be surprised to know that Marlon 1119 00:58:03,880 --> 00:58:07,000 Speaker 1: Mack is the number five rusher in the NFL. He's 1120 00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:10,040 Speaker 1: had that type of impact on this offense. So he 1121 00:58:10,080 --> 00:58:13,080 Speaker 1: goes out. Now. There is good news, though, Wes in 1122 00:58:13,200 --> 00:58:15,280 Speaker 1: his place a man that ran for a hundred and 1123 00:58:15,280 --> 00:58:20,000 Speaker 1: sixteen yards on nine yards per tote. Jonathan Williams, the 1124 00:58:20,040 --> 00:58:24,400 Speaker 1: old spice rack. Spice Rack pounded the table for williams 1125 00:58:24,520 --> 00:58:27,520 Speaker 1: Uh come draft time a few years back. It's the 1126 00:58:27,600 --> 00:58:29,800 Speaker 1: only name we can extract from him. In a half 1127 00:58:29,800 --> 00:58:33,160 Speaker 1: an hour, six round pick of the Bills, a six 1128 00:58:33,280 --> 00:58:36,439 Speaker 1: round performance by spice Rack that day. But uh, yes, 1129 00:58:36,520 --> 00:58:40,040 Speaker 1: he actually he got himself into some trouble as I recall, 1130 00:58:40,120 --> 00:58:42,680 Speaker 1: and then how to try out? Was it with the Jets? 1131 00:58:42,680 --> 00:58:45,640 Speaker 1: And then he bounced spoke to the media. But has 1132 00:58:45,680 --> 00:58:50,320 Speaker 1: been in a lot of trouble. I asked, I did 1133 00:58:50,360 --> 00:58:55,760 Speaker 1: a contact spice Rack about the Donathan williams Uh contact, 1134 00:58:56,360 --> 00:58:58,000 Speaker 1: and he said it gave him some pepper and his 1135 00:58:58,040 --> 00:59:02,840 Speaker 1: step on Sunday he was decided a long sunday of 1136 00:59:02,960 --> 00:59:05,120 Speaker 1: results coming in. Did he need a pep in his step? 1137 00:59:05,400 --> 00:59:07,880 Speaker 1: I think Saturday was probably more the problem. It seems 1138 00:59:07,920 --> 00:59:10,600 Speaker 1: more like a Saturday guy. I feel like if if 1139 00:59:10,720 --> 00:59:16,720 Speaker 1: your wife ever checked your phone bill and saw the 1140 00:59:16,760 --> 00:59:19,200 Speaker 1: same number coming up over and over again, she would 1141 00:59:19,240 --> 00:59:20,720 Speaker 1: be a little bit worried. And they're like, no, no, 1142 00:59:20,760 --> 00:59:24,160 Speaker 1: that's spice Rack. I mean we've definitely never spoken on 1143 00:59:24,200 --> 00:59:27,360 Speaker 1: the phone. Uh, it's like you guys are in contact 1144 00:59:27,400 --> 00:59:31,680 Speaker 1: a lot. I like this phone bill scenario, you know 1145 00:59:31,720 --> 00:59:34,640 Speaker 1: this still existing? I mean, then it happened to me. 1146 00:59:34,840 --> 00:59:37,400 Speaker 1: But can you imagine I don't know. I can't speak 1147 00:59:37,440 --> 00:59:39,720 Speaker 1: for you guys, but that was like a number one 1148 00:59:39,720 --> 00:59:42,960 Speaker 1: way to get busted if you were being h you know, 1149 00:59:43,840 --> 00:59:47,040 Speaker 1: I'm pure relationship. Yeah, you have a well or I 1150 00:59:47,080 --> 00:59:49,720 Speaker 1: would even say going back to when like you'd have 1151 00:59:49,760 --> 00:59:52,680 Speaker 1: a long distance girlfriend in the early high school period 1152 00:59:52,720 --> 00:59:54,600 Speaker 1: and suddenly the parents like, why are there a hundred 1153 00:59:54,640 --> 00:59:59,840 Speaker 1: and two charges to Glastonbury, Connecticut? Because I love her? 1154 01:00:00,760 --> 01:00:05,480 Speaker 1: That didn't That didn't hold much water. Um Anyway, thoughts 1155 01:00:05,480 --> 01:00:07,640 Speaker 1: on this game. It's hard to preview this game because 1156 01:00:07,640 --> 01:00:09,560 Speaker 1: there's so many names up in the air, starting with 1157 01:00:09,600 --> 01:00:12,440 Speaker 1: wide receivers. T Y Hilton, I believe is not practicing 1158 01:00:12,480 --> 01:00:15,640 Speaker 1: on Tuesday. Will Fuller is not practicing for the Texans 1159 01:00:15,680 --> 01:00:18,720 Speaker 1: on Tuesday to keep components. I mean, t Y Hilton is, 1160 01:00:20,040 --> 01:00:22,480 Speaker 1: I mean, along with Quentin Nelson the most important player 1161 01:00:22,480 --> 01:00:24,240 Speaker 1: on this offense. I think i'd give him a week. 1162 01:00:24,560 --> 01:00:26,280 Speaker 1: I know I'm not allowed to say that around these parts, 1163 01:00:26,520 --> 01:00:28,600 Speaker 1: but rushing a guy back for Thursday night when he's 1164 01:00:28,640 --> 01:00:32,120 Speaker 1: not right is almost a almost always a recipe for 1165 01:00:32,280 --> 01:00:34,440 Speaker 1: exits the game early in the second quarter. I bet 1166 01:00:34,520 --> 01:00:37,400 Speaker 1: he wants to play because he always destroys these believable 1167 01:00:37,440 --> 01:00:40,280 Speaker 1: numbers against Jackson all lifetime. And you know, this is 1168 01:00:40,280 --> 01:00:44,440 Speaker 1: a game that Indianapolis. At an earlier point in the season, 1169 01:00:44,480 --> 01:00:46,400 Speaker 1: we thought this division was going to kind of start 1170 01:00:46,440 --> 01:00:49,080 Speaker 1: going towards the Texans. They came into Indianapolis with the 1171 01:00:49,160 --> 01:00:51,920 Speaker 1: head fullest team and they got beat, which happens a 1172 01:00:51,920 --> 01:00:55,480 Speaker 1: lot with the Colts have surprised us. The Texans are 1173 01:00:55,520 --> 01:00:58,600 Speaker 1: coming off a very concerning performance. I mean, Deshaun Watson 1174 01:00:59,720 --> 01:01:02,520 Speaker 1: that terrible game against Baltimore. I think it's okay, like 1175 01:01:02,840 --> 01:01:07,320 Speaker 1: great players can play poorly. He was inaccurate. It happens, 1176 01:01:07,480 --> 01:01:10,160 Speaker 1: you know, he was inaccurate, and more importantly, I think 1177 01:01:10,480 --> 01:01:13,360 Speaker 1: like the communication on the offensive line of recognizing where 1178 01:01:13,360 --> 01:01:17,440 Speaker 1: pressure is coming from. They were pretty scrambled up front 1179 01:01:17,600 --> 01:01:19,760 Speaker 1: of of knowing where the pressure and a lot of 1180 01:01:19,760 --> 01:01:22,200 Speaker 1: those sacks were on Watson. Maybe it's just a one 1181 01:01:22,240 --> 01:01:25,920 Speaker 1: game blip. I just worried that this Texans defense does 1182 01:01:25,960 --> 01:01:27,880 Speaker 1: not have enough juice, which is why I don't feel 1183 01:01:27,920 --> 01:01:30,280 Speaker 1: confident in picking them. Even you give him a little 1184 01:01:30,360 --> 01:01:34,480 Speaker 1: edge at home, but if you take out J. J. Watt. 1185 01:01:34,560 --> 01:01:37,880 Speaker 1: There's a stat on ESPN called pass rush win rate 1186 01:01:37,960 --> 01:01:40,439 Speaker 1: when he's not on the field. They are thirty feet 1187 01:01:40,480 --> 01:01:43,040 Speaker 1: in the league in terms of past the rush win rate, 1188 01:01:43,080 --> 01:01:45,280 Speaker 1: and I think Bengals are the only team that's worst. Yeah, 1189 01:01:45,280 --> 01:01:48,480 Speaker 1: the Texans also, they were battered in that loss to 1190 01:01:48,520 --> 01:01:53,040 Speaker 1: the Ravens. Justin Reid concussion, Mike Adams concussion, Lonnie Johnson 1191 01:01:53,160 --> 01:01:56,200 Speaker 1: a bad ankle injury. I when I go back and 1192 01:01:56,240 --> 01:01:57,960 Speaker 1: look at what happened the first time, along with some 1193 01:01:58,080 --> 01:02:02,520 Speaker 1: of the offensive numbers, was Darius Leonard doing what Darius 1194 01:02:02,640 --> 01:02:06,200 Speaker 1: Lennard does. Ten tackles and a game clinching interception and 1195 01:02:06,240 --> 01:02:09,440 Speaker 1: being a total difference maker. And he's healthy right now, 1196 01:02:09,480 --> 01:02:11,200 Speaker 1: and he's the kind of guy that I could imagine 1197 01:02:11,200 --> 01:02:14,720 Speaker 1: on TNF blowing up. Yeah. He he spoke about it 1198 01:02:14,760 --> 01:02:17,200 Speaker 1: that he's come on really strong. He had a tough 1199 01:02:17,240 --> 01:02:18,880 Speaker 1: start to the year, made a lot of mistakes, was 1200 01:02:18,920 --> 01:02:21,920 Speaker 1: getting beaten coverage with struggling. He admitted it. And he 1201 01:02:21,960 --> 01:02:23,960 Speaker 1: has been on fire the last couple of weeks. So 1202 01:02:24,000 --> 01:02:26,240 Speaker 1: as Justin Houston, they do have some players coming along 1203 01:02:26,280 --> 01:02:29,040 Speaker 1: on the Colts defense. Justin Houston was a home run signing. 1204 01:02:29,080 --> 01:02:31,480 Speaker 1: He's been fantastic that She's had a sack every week 1205 01:02:31,560 --> 01:02:35,840 Speaker 1: for the past five weeks, though presented four touchdowns the 1206 01:02:35,880 --> 01:02:38,680 Speaker 1: last time that wasn't a long fifteen to four touchdown 1207 01:02:38,720 --> 01:02:42,320 Speaker 1: interception ratio. You know he's crafty in the red zone. 1208 01:02:43,040 --> 01:02:45,280 Speaker 1: Give to Gubby brissets him left. I thought we don't 1209 01:02:45,320 --> 01:02:49,680 Speaker 1: count those stats around these parts, touchdown versus interception. Since 1210 01:02:49,760 --> 01:02:52,080 Speaker 1: when I thought those were stats that we don't look 1211 01:02:52,080 --> 01:02:56,200 Speaker 1: at to judge whether quarterback's playing well, I count them, said, 1212 01:02:56,600 --> 01:03:00,800 Speaker 1: I was told that last Thursday. When the film tells 1213 01:03:00,840 --> 01:03:04,400 Speaker 1: you drastically different than with the numbers, trust your no 1214 01:03:04,440 --> 01:03:06,120 Speaker 1: and none of us remember it that, So you gotta 1215 01:03:06,120 --> 01:03:08,640 Speaker 1: give us a Mason Rudolph. I think he was eleven 1216 01:03:08,680 --> 01:03:11,000 Speaker 1: and two going into that. Yeah, well that was that 1217 01:03:11,080 --> 01:03:14,600 Speaker 1: was clearly not matching what the film was showing. Um alright, 1218 01:03:14,640 --> 01:03:17,920 Speaker 1: so one quick quote, which coach? Which coach do you 1219 01:03:17,960 --> 01:03:20,520 Speaker 1: trust that this game is type Frank Reich, Bill O'Brien. 1220 01:03:21,960 --> 01:03:24,560 Speaker 1: I bill O'Brien got out coach last week. I like 1221 01:03:24,600 --> 01:03:26,680 Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien is a coach a lot got out Lamar 1222 01:03:26,760 --> 01:03:29,800 Speaker 1: Jackson in my mind, I don't know Bill O'Brien not 1223 01:03:29,960 --> 01:03:32,520 Speaker 1: liked around these parts. I understand that. I just said, 1224 01:03:32,560 --> 01:03:35,040 Speaker 1: I like Bill O'Brien a lot. It's that's why it's 1225 01:03:35,360 --> 01:03:38,840 Speaker 1: leg it's a legit question. I'm not just setting that 1226 01:03:38,840 --> 01:03:40,520 Speaker 1: that was just happened to be a one two punch. 1227 01:03:40,640 --> 01:03:43,000 Speaker 1: I didn't feel like getting into another Bill O'Brien argument. 1228 01:03:43,320 --> 01:03:45,720 Speaker 1: But no, I love the Texans in this game. Like 1229 01:03:45,800 --> 01:03:49,000 Speaker 1: Frank rich a lot, great coach, but I I don't 1230 01:03:49,000 --> 01:03:50,960 Speaker 1: trust the Texans as much as I would have liked, 1231 01:03:51,440 --> 01:03:53,600 Speaker 1: would have thought about a month ago. But also J J. 1232 01:03:53,680 --> 01:03:56,600 Speaker 1: Wattexon in the line of really is shaking my confidence 1233 01:03:56,640 --> 01:03:58,760 Speaker 1: with them. But I still think at home in a 1234 01:03:58,840 --> 01:04:02,560 Speaker 1: game they really need. I think Watson coming off a 1235 01:04:02,560 --> 01:04:05,880 Speaker 1: game where he played poorly, he loves it in prime time. 1236 01:04:06,440 --> 01:04:08,840 Speaker 1: I think we get a big Watson game. I was 1237 01:04:08,880 --> 01:04:10,600 Speaker 1: I was leaning towards maybe locking this up. I'm not 1238 01:04:10,640 --> 01:04:13,160 Speaker 1: going to, but because they are a little up and 1239 01:04:13,200 --> 01:04:15,600 Speaker 1: down right now in terms of the season. But I 1240 01:04:15,640 --> 01:04:18,360 Speaker 1: love the Texans this game. Anybody else, anybody else agreed 1241 01:04:18,360 --> 01:04:20,960 Speaker 1: with me or I'm gonna have to pick this game 1242 01:04:21,000 --> 01:04:24,120 Speaker 1: because I have to do it for game picks, and 1243 01:04:24,160 --> 01:04:27,160 Speaker 1: I will take the Texans. I don't feel great or 1244 01:04:27,280 --> 01:04:31,760 Speaker 1: just outright now. I think it'll be closer. I think 1245 01:04:31,920 --> 01:04:34,080 Speaker 1: whatever it is the Texans or decent favorites, I'll make 1246 01:04:34,080 --> 01:04:35,680 Speaker 1: it a one or two point. Yeah, that's the way 1247 01:04:38,080 --> 01:04:39,640 Speaker 1: I even be on the show at this point. Split 1248 01:04:39,680 --> 01:04:42,560 Speaker 1: the I'm going Houston because they are gonna split with 1249 01:04:42,600 --> 01:04:45,040 Speaker 1: the Cults. There's no way they're getting swept by Indianapolis. 1250 01:04:45,680 --> 01:04:47,840 Speaker 1: It's gonna feel too lopsided if all four of us 1251 01:04:47,840 --> 01:04:50,880 Speaker 1: go with the Texans, because it feels like a coin 1252 01:04:50,880 --> 01:04:54,000 Speaker 1: flip game. But I don't trust the Coults firepower. If 1253 01:04:54,040 --> 01:04:57,080 Speaker 1: t Y Hilton doesn't play and Marlon Mack doesn't play, right, 1254 01:04:57,080 --> 01:04:59,000 Speaker 1: I like looked up as how do they score thirty 1255 01:04:59,040 --> 01:05:01,080 Speaker 1: three points in this game? Thirty five points in this game? 1256 01:05:01,080 --> 01:05:03,800 Speaker 1: The Calts. It's always it's always a mystery. I guess 1257 01:05:03,840 --> 01:05:06,840 Speaker 1: it's the offensive line, it's the coaching. The defense is 1258 01:05:06,840 --> 01:05:09,400 Speaker 1: a little better than the sum of its part. Make 1259 01:05:09,480 --> 01:05:11,360 Speaker 1: here's what I like for the Texans. Seemed to break 1260 01:05:11,400 --> 01:05:14,439 Speaker 1: down every third game. Yeah, how how about let's see 1261 01:05:14,480 --> 01:05:17,120 Speaker 1: some deep Let's see some deep shots that DeAndre Hopkins. 1262 01:05:17,120 --> 01:05:19,720 Speaker 1: This has been a team that does not have a 1263 01:05:19,880 --> 01:05:22,880 Speaker 1: vertical element, which is shocking to me because Deshaun Watson 1264 01:05:22,880 --> 01:05:24,760 Speaker 1: throws such a great, great deep ball but it just 1265 01:05:24,800 --> 01:05:26,680 Speaker 1: hasn't been there for them. Will Fuller is always so 1266 01:05:26,760 --> 01:05:28,560 Speaker 1: much more important to that offense than you think he 1267 01:05:28,560 --> 01:05:32,440 Speaker 1: would be. All right, let's got some plugs in Greg 1268 01:05:32,640 --> 01:05:35,600 Speaker 1: the debrief debrief, I mean, it depends how you want 1269 01:05:35,600 --> 01:05:38,760 Speaker 1: to say it. I would go debrief, Yeah, NFL that 1270 01:05:39,080 --> 01:05:41,200 Speaker 1: What was the hook of the debrief this week? It 1271 01:05:41,360 --> 01:05:43,480 Speaker 1: wasn't really a hook, just kind of some some take 1272 01:05:43,560 --> 01:05:49,400 Speaker 1: place good uh Week twelve takeaways? Who's number one? I do? 1273 01:05:49,680 --> 01:05:52,320 Speaker 1: I have? You know, Russell Wilson Lamar. I think there's 1274 01:05:52,320 --> 01:05:56,160 Speaker 1: a nice gap there after those two. But I have 1275 01:05:56,240 --> 01:05:59,800 Speaker 1: Dack number three, Aaron Rodgers four, and let's throw in wide. 1276 01:05:59,800 --> 01:06:02,720 Speaker 1: We're seever Michael Thomas of the New Orleans Saints defenses. No, 1277 01:06:02,880 --> 01:06:05,280 Speaker 1: he's coming. They can't stop him. CMC out of the 1278 01:06:05,280 --> 01:06:08,560 Speaker 1: top five entirely now that hurts, But I guess Michael Thomas. 1279 01:06:08,600 --> 01:06:11,760 Speaker 1: I was like, why did Michael Thomas like my article? 1280 01:06:11,800 --> 01:06:13,800 Speaker 1: And I was like, oh, someone someone let him know 1281 01:06:13,960 --> 01:06:17,960 Speaker 1: he's mentioned there. Mark Sessler on my radar, what a column? 1282 01:06:18,000 --> 01:06:21,000 Speaker 1: And you are what? I like what you're doing lately? 1283 01:06:21,040 --> 01:06:24,720 Speaker 1: Mark um More high concept ideas of late and what 1284 01:06:24,840 --> 01:06:27,280 Speaker 1: is it this week? I mean we are. We're deep 1285 01:06:27,280 --> 01:06:28,920 Speaker 1: into the year, so I have to come up with 1286 01:06:29,200 --> 01:06:32,240 Speaker 1: reinvent the wheel every week, it seems like for something. 1287 01:06:32,280 --> 01:06:34,760 Speaker 1: But I came up with something called the joy Meter, 1288 01:06:34,880 --> 01:06:37,800 Speaker 1: which goes from zero to one, and it's things that 1289 01:06:37,840 --> 01:06:41,000 Speaker 1: are making me extremely in case in some cases me 1290 01:06:41,080 --> 01:06:43,600 Speaker 1: extremely happy. And I did a mia culpa in the 1291 01:06:43,600 --> 01:06:46,360 Speaker 1: sense that with Lamar Jackson, you know, inside of me, 1292 01:06:46,440 --> 01:06:48,720 Speaker 1: I wanted to push against the Ravens and push against 1293 01:06:48,960 --> 01:06:50,960 Speaker 1: the whole idea of them going to the Super Bowl 1294 01:06:50,960 --> 01:06:54,240 Speaker 1: a game, and he is too fun to watch, so 1295 01:06:54,280 --> 01:06:56,400 Speaker 1: he got the highest grade.
