1
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:11,479
Speaker 1: This is straight Fire with Jason McIntyre. What is up?

2
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:18,279
Speaker 1: Straight Fire, fam, It's me Jason McIntyre. Straight Fire for Tuesday, November.

3
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 1: What a game last night? Holy cow's tough to go

4
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 1: to bed last night after the Eagles undefeated run comes

5
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 1: to an end at the hands of the immortal Taylor Heiinicky.

6
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:33,239
Speaker 1: What a game that was? You know, all week all

7
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:37,199
Speaker 1: we heard was Eagles number one. See could they go undefeated? Uh?

8
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 1: Turn over margin? They don't turn the ball over. They

9
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 1: got the great quarterback. They can beat you with the run,

10
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 1: they can beat you at the past. The Eagles, Oh

11
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 1: my gosh, they're the best team in the NFC. They're

12
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 1: right there with the Bills and the Chiefs. And then

13
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 1: the Eagles come out and lay a massive egg. I

14
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 1: cannot wait to talk about this one. Obviously, the under

15
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 1: whiffed badly. That was not a good call. The if

16
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 1: you had the Eagles and survivor, I'm sorry, r I

17
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 1: p to your Survivors season. That stinks. Hopefully you won

18
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: your fantasy league. Me and my son went for in

19
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 1: a very very very good weekend in Casa de McIntyre.

20
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 1: On the fantasy front, Um, I've got an incredible NFL quote.

21
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 1: We're gonna play a quick game where I say the

22
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 1: quote and I will give a pregnant pause and you

23
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: will try to guess who said it. It's an amazing quote.

24
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 1: Will do that, But first I need to talk quickly,

25
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: well not quickly, I might take my teeth into this one.

26
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 1: I need to talk about Eagles twenty one Commanders Commanders two.

27
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 1: This was the NFL weekend where two of the three

28
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:46,400
Speaker 1: best teams lost. The Bills lose, crazy, the Eagles lose.

29
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: I think this qualifies as crazy. They were undefeated. I

30
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: don't think anybody really thought they'd go and beat and

31
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 1: I think people had circled the Dallas game. Uh, this

32
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: is a very good Eagles team. They were writing, I mean,

33
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 1: what eight no hurtling towards number one seed. Now, all

34
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: of a sudden, the door is ajarm. Minnesota Vikings fans

35
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 1: are excited. They're like, hold up, we're not tied with them.

36
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: I know they have the tiebreaker, but if they have

37
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,919
Speaker 1: another slip up, the Giants are playing well, which is insane.

38
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 1: Cowboys are gonna be there. Cowboys play the Vikings this

39
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: weekend in a massive game. Lots to be determined, I'll

40
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 1: say this. I want to start. So we're at the

41
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: dinner table last night. Obviously I have the game on. Listen.

42
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 1: This is what I do the Herd, the podcast. You know,

43
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: my life is kind of sports. So the wife is

44
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: cool with me watching Monday night football at the dinner table.

45
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: Now we got that all mute and everything. But we're

46
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 1: watching the game and Taylor Heineke is just making play

47
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 1: after play after play. And by the way, this is

48
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: a bonus of living in California is that Monday night

49
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: football is on when you're eating dinner on the East Coast.

50
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,799
Speaker 1: It starts when the kids are going to bed. And

51
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 1: my kids have obviously listen. They know football. We talk

52
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: about it a lot, they know NBA, NFL. Son and

53
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 1: daughter obviously locked in, and I start telling him the

54
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: story of Taylor Heineke. And you know, they kept showing

55
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz. I was like, Carson Wentz has done guys.

56
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: He he's not coming back, He's not getting his job.

57
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: Taylor Heineke has this job, it's his and he's a

58
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 1: great story. And I start telling him about Taylor Heineke

59
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 1: as his kid, who you know, he was a plucky

60
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: college football player, at O d U. He had a

61
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: cup of coffee with a couple of teams in the NFL,

62
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: and then it was like over to the XFL and

63
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: then he's like, you know what, my career is basically over.

64
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: I had a chance. COVID wrecked me. I'm going back

65
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: to school. Taylor Heineke, as I tell my kids, was

66
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: in the process of finishing his engineering degree at O

67
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: DU And how do I know O d you? While

68
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 1: I'm I grew up in Virginia, so I know OD

69
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: you obviously. And I had heard about Heineke when this happened,

70
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: because it was a great story. It's like, whoa, You're

71
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: about to finish your engineering degree and you're gonna put

72
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: that on hold. Doing Washington, I was like, WHOA Dwayne Haskins.

73
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 1: R I P Dwayne Dwayne Haskins. He was in the

74
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: mix bench. Heineke gets a chance. Heineke starts a wild

75
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 1: card game, signs an extension. You know, like it wasn't crazy,

76
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: And my son's like, do you think he made a

77
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: million dollars? I was like, of course, probably not the

78
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 1: first time he played, but yeah, Taylor Hernicky did well

79
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: enough to earn a backup quarterback contract. You know, you

80
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: got like a two year extension, I don't know, four

81
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: or five million dollars, whatever it was. And then Iineki,

82
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 1: it's what he is. He's a backup quarterback. I joked

83
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: initially he was QB one a k A Matt Saracen.

84
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: You know, undersized white guy, not a huge arm. What

85
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: do you want say, gritty, plucky, all those adjectives that

86
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: describe undersized Doug Flutey type guys. And Heineke when he

87
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,679
Speaker 1: when he came in for relief for Wentz, when Wentz

88
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: got hurt, I knew Heineke was gonna be the guy.

89
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: And I'm telling you guys, he had two super high

90
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 1: i Q plays from a backup quarterback that you absolutely

91
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 1: love to see. And I know Eagles fans are gonna

92
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,160
Speaker 1: hate this. Obviously, the knee at the end of the game,

93
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 1: right and he you know they want to melt clock,

94
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,159
Speaker 1: so you don't want to throw it away. He decides

95
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take a knee, slides down while he's down.

96
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,799
Speaker 1: Brandon Graham, I guess is you know veteran which stinks,

97
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 1: doesn't see that the play is done, and drills him,

98
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:20,840
Speaker 1: drills Heinicky, and that was it, and you could see

99
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: Heidiki all fired up right after it. He knew it.

100
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: He was like, oh, yes, got it, that's ball game.

101
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: Heineke was freaking out. He was like me playing basketball

102
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,039
Speaker 1: on big place. I'm freaking out, I'm excited, I'm stoked.

103
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: That was one earlier in the game, probably overlooked. There

104
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 1: was a snap that went over his head, at least

105
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 1: five yards over his head and like fifteen yards back.

106
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: It takes a bounce and you're like, oh my gosh,

107
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 1: this is gonna be a huge sack. Oh this is massive. Heineke,

108
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: cool as a cucumber, picks it up, make sure he's

109
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 1: outside the pocket, and just chucks it out of bounce,

110
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: and you're like, wow, that was smart as Ship Taylor.

111
00:05:55,600 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 1: Heinick just saved them yards bike bike by not panicking,

112
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: picking the ball up and chucking it out of bounce.

113
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 1: Just two small plays. The third one was not really

114
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: a high i Q play, but it was awesome to see.

115
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 1: Usually the quarterbacks are over there looking at the Microsoft

116
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 1: Path tablet or whatever the thing is, and they're huddled

117
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 1: up in jackets. You know, they're locked in on what

118
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:23,159
Speaker 1: their next series is. Going to be when Jalen hurts

119
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: excuse me, when Jalen hurts through that bomb two Quez

120
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 1: Watkins with like five minutes left, You're like, oh, here

121
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: we go, Eagles, they got it. Quas Watkins catches it,

122
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 1: falls down, nobody touches him, gets up, starts running two

123
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 1: steps drilled fumbles. If you look at the replay, you

124
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 1: can go on YouTube, go look it up wherever on

125
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: the internet. As soon as I think it's Devonte Smith

126
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 1: jumps on it, can't corral it. You see a bunch

127
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,159
Speaker 1: of Washington football players on the sidelines starting to erupt

128
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: in cheers. As Washington recovers it. Taylor Heinekey is in

129
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,840
Speaker 1: the middle of that celebration, chumping around, sound like a

130
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 1: kid on Christmas morning. Taylor Heneke was stoked. He wanted

131
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 1: this game badly, folks. I gotta give it. I gotta

132
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 1: give it to the kid. He's got moxie. I'll throw

133
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: I'll just keep throwing out adjectives to describe Taylor Heneke

134
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 1: for the rest of the podcast. I was impressed. Now

135
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 1: we've seen this before from him. We know he's limited,

136
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 1: he's got a ceiling, but who gives a ship Monday

137
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: Night Football. I don't think he necessarily outplayed Jalen Hurts,

138
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 1: but he got the win. He did just what he

139
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 1: needed to do, delivered. And I know a lot of

140
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: people are gonna make this about the Eagles O their frauds.

141
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 1: Not really, but their cornerbacks got straight up cooked. Terry

142
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 1: McLarin eight for a buck twenty eight. I mean, folks,

143
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 1: big play sleigh, yikes, yikes. Terry McLaren had a big gig.

144
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 1: Curtis Samuel a couple of nice catches, Um John Dotson

145
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 1: had the one O p I. But basically, there were

146
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: twenty five targets. Terry McLarin had eleven of them. Okay,

147
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 1: Terry mclorin is the guy. He is the Justin Jefferson

148
00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: of the Washington Commanders. Basically, Heineke drops back, he's looking

149
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 1: for scary Terry. These Ohio State receivers are just bad

150
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 1: ass football players, and McLaurin could not be checked. I

151
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 1: can't wait for the Pro Football Focus grades to come out,

152
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: because whether it was Bradberry, whether it was Big place Ley,

153
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: they both got eviscerated. Terry mcclurin owned them. And the

154
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: bigger story, I guess you know, and this was due

155
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 1: to happen. Is every trend that favored the Eagles went

156
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 1: now every season long, thing that they had cooking just

157
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:34,599
Speaker 1: completely went out the window, and you knew what was

158
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 1: gonna happen. Okay, for starters, they had the fewest turnovers

159
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:42,319
Speaker 1: in the NFL, they had three. Next, we're talking about

160
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,679
Speaker 1: the most. They had the highest point scoring differential in

161
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,319
Speaker 1: the second quarter in the entire NFL all season, they

162
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 1: were outscored thirteen nothing. And the third one, which I

163
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 1: don't I don't even know how you quantify this, but

164
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 1: what are the odds a kicker is gonna hit not one,

165
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 1: but two in a game from plus fifty five yards out?

166
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 1: And the guy's name is not Justin Tucker. Okay, I'm

167
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,719
Speaker 1: not I'm not that familiar with this character. Joey Sly

168
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 1: four for four on field goals, two from fifty five

169
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 1: plus and the Eagles go down. They're now eight and one.

170
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: The Washington Commanders firmly, and I do mean firmly, are

171
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 1: in the wild card hunt. Fox Sports Radio has the

Speaker 1: listen live. It still is only week ten. There's a

176
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,959
Speaker 1: long way to go. Everybody will remember the Rams were

177
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 1: seven and five last year, struggling that they get hot,

178
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 1: and that's a wrap. Seven and five. That's much later

179
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 1: than we are right now. So we'll start in the

180
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 1: a f C right now. Chiefs one, Dolphins two, Titans three,

181
00:09:53,880 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 1: Ravens four, Jets five, Bill six, Patriots seven. So four

182
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 1: teams from the a f C East would make the

183
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 1: playoffs if the season ended today. Patriots had the tiebreaker

184
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 1: over the Chargers and over the over the Bengals as well.

185
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 1: That's why Jets Patriots is a monster game this week.

186
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: I was effort in getting former Jets quarterback who you

187
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 1: guys know well, but it looks like we're gonna have

188
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: to get him next week. Unfortunately, I don't think we

189
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,679
Speaker 1: can make it happen this week. Listen because guys, a busy,

190
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:28,839
Speaker 1: busy guy um In the NFC, Philadelphia eight and one,

191
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 1: they have the tiebreaker over Minnesota head to head. Obviously,

192
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 1: Seattle is three, Tampa four, the seven and two New

193
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 1: York Giants or five, Dallas six, San franc seven, Washington eight,

194
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 1: Green Bay nine. Folks this is I mean Washington was

195
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 1: d O a like four weeks ago. This is a team,

196
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: by the way, Washington should have beaten And you guys

197
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 1: know this, Okay, they should have two more wins. Um

198
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,559
Speaker 1: the game that I've lost two brutal bets with them,

199
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 1: the Tights I had, Um, I had Washington, they had

200
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 1: Carson wentz on I believe it was the two yard line,

201
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 1: three chances. I mean the guy tries to throw an

202
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,200
Speaker 1: interception on first down, almost does, tries to throw an

203
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 1: interception second, almost does, and on the third he threw

204
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:23,199
Speaker 1: an interception. They should have beat the Titans. Then they

205
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 1: peel off three in a row. Got a little lucky

206
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 1: against the Colds Taylor Heinikey too long drives in the fourth,

207
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 1: fortunate against the Packers, nice come back, and then they

208
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 1: shouldn't beat the Vikings last week up by ten and

209
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter at home, you gotta sault that one away.

210
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 1: So Washington all of a sudden five and five. They

211
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,719
Speaker 1: get the Texans. That should be a w even on

212
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 1: the road. They get the Falcons. They have a losing record.

213
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 1: All the Falcons could do is run. Washington has a great,

214
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 1: great run defense. Back to back games against the Giants,

215
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 1: and they have a late by which is really good.

216
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 1: Chase Young, by the way, also coming back they do

217
00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 1: close Niners, Deshaun Watson. Cowboys not gonna be easy, but

218
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 1: I'm not counting washing it out. I think they've got

219
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,560
Speaker 1: a great chance. This is an awesome story for Ron

220
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,079
Speaker 1: Rivera pretty much on the hot seat. The owner is

221
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 1: a disaster, really positive story for for Washington. The only

222
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 1: problem is they're gonna need somebody to start losing games.

223
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 1: The Giant schedule is easy. I don't see Dallas losing

224
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 1: a ton of games. San fran has more talent than

225
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: almost anyone in the NFC. The team you need to

226
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 1: start to fall off a cliff is the Seattle Seahawks,

227
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 1: And obviously I know I've got the whole deal with

228
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 1: shaving the Seahawks logo in my head. If they finish

229
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 1: over Seahawks have a by, then it's Raiders, Rams, Panthers.

230
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:50,959
Speaker 1: Those guys are all three struggling like badly, then it's Niners, Chiefs, Jets, Rams.

231
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 1: So those final four games are gonna be tough. But again,

232
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:55,679
Speaker 1: it's tough to project the head, you know, because remember

233
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,559
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the season, it was like Aaron

234
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 1: Rodgers Russell Wilson. Jets aren't beating those guys. They beat

235
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 1: Rogers and Russell Wilson was hurt. They didn't even have

236
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 1: to face him. So things can happen. But I think

237
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 1: Washington firmly in the wild card mix. They are going

238
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 1: to need some help and they're gonna have to hold

239
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 1: off the Packers who are gonna be coming strong. But

240
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:17,680
Speaker 1: if you're a Minnesota Vikings fan, you feel absolutely stoked tonight.

241
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 1: And I just this was a bananas week ten. I

242
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 1: will wrap up Monday Night Football with this moderately insane stat.

243
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 1: Double digit favorites this season ten and twenty one against

244
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 1: the spread. If you blindly faded every double digit favorite,

245
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 1: you'd be a rich man. That being said, just because

246
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,679
Speaker 1: it has happened the first what ten eleven weeks, ten week,

247
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 1: ten weeks, that doesn't mean it's going to continue. We

248
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,680
Speaker 1: you guys know how these markets work, right, They're gonna

249
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,840
Speaker 1: get efficient. Things are gonna kind of even out. One

250
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:58,960
Speaker 1: of the and I'll just say this one of the

251
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 1: you know, if I'm on the fence gambling things that

252
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:05,440
Speaker 1: I'll do, and this is silly. You can laugh all

253
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 1: you want teams that did not cover versus teams that

254
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 1: did cover. If I'm on the fence about a game

255
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 1: and it you know, I gotta pick it for the

256
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 1: contest or whatever. I'm going to take the game where

257
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 1: it's a team that did not cover the priority for

258
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 1: thirteam that did. Last week there was only one of those.

259
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 1: It was Packers Cowboys. I took it in the contest.

260
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 1: It hit this week. There are let's see here, Oh

261
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 1: there's four. So the games where the team did not

262
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 1: cover verse did. The Dallas Cowboys did not cover against

263
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 1: the Packers and lost their playing the Vikings who did cover.

264
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 1: So the bet there, take the Cowboys if you want. Again,

265
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 1: there's a lot of other factors. It's more than just

266
00:14:55,400 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 1: this did not cover against the Chargers. Arizona Cardinals did.

267
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 1: If you're on the fence, maybe lean Niners. I'll tell

268
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 1: you the strategy that in a moment. Eagles obviously we

269
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 1: just saw them, did not cover. They're facing the Colts.

270
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 1: The Colts did cover. Um, there's this should have been

271
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:19,239
Speaker 1: the Carson Wentz revenge game, but it's it's not. Um.

272
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 1: And then finally the Washington Commanders did cover. They're facing

273
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 1: the Texans who did not. It would be very rich

274
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 1: of Washington to not cover in Houston. Now, the other

275
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 1: thought process with this is that the betting public tends

276
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 1: to gravitate towards what they just saw. If you saw

277
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 1: this team, especially in prime time, cover the spread or

278
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 1: not cover the spread, you're more likely to bet on

279
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 1: them the following week. So, for instance, everybody just watched

280
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 1: the Cowboys melt down against the lowly Packers. I think

281
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 1: Green Bay had lost like four in a row. Nobody

282
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 1: he's gonna want the Packers this. Everybody's gonna say, Minnesota Vikings.

283
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 1: Come on, they just beat the Bills. You've got to

284
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 1: ride with the Vikings. Now they're going home. Come on,

285
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 1: I think it's at home. Come on, are you kidding me?

286
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 1: Vikings all day and you'll see the line based on

287
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 1: where Vegas put it. Already money is flowing on the

288
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys, and people out there are like, wait a minute,

289
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 1: what why is that happening? Forty Niners Cardinals will be interesting.

290
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 1: I don't think the public and gravitate towards Arizona. But

291
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 1: the public did just get let down by the Niners

292
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 1: in prime time. Niners, Chargers, Eagles, Colts. Are people going

293
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 1: to ride the Chieff Saturday Matt Ryan wave against the

294
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 1: Eagles who just look pedestrian turnover prone in prime time.

295
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 1: And then Washington Texas. Washingtons like a hot team. Now

296
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 1: I think they've won four or five. Oh yeah, Texas,

297
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. They couldn't do anything against the Giants.

298
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 1: Like I'll say it quietly, like you know, Texans got

299
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 1: in the red zone six times against the Giants. They

300
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 1: were in for six Lovey Smith is kind of a buffoon,

301
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:06,440
Speaker 1: so I I get lots go into the handicap. You

302
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: can break it down any way you want. If you're

303
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 1: on the fence, just keep the did not cover verst

304
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:13,199
Speaker 1: did in mind. I'll say this it there was a

305
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 1: year that I had. I rode that pretty hard in

306
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 1: the contest, and it did me very very well. I

307
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,639
Speaker 1: just finished outside the money. It sucked, but it was

308
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 1: one of those like weird, Like jeez, is the market

309
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:30,479
Speaker 1: just watching it and following it? It's just crazy? Anyways,

310
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 1: all right, let's move on from that. Um I want

317
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 1: The whole week during practice, the way he led and

318
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 1: the professionalism there, early stayed late, communication was through the roof.

319
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 1: It was awesome to see. Okay, just the only hints.

320
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,879
Speaker 1: This is an NFL coach who said this, and he

321
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 1: said it Sunday night or Monday morning, one of us too.

322
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 1: I'll repeat it. The whole week during practice. The way

323
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 1: he led and the professionalism there, early stayed late, communication

324
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,400
Speaker 1: was through the roof. It was awesome to see, folks,

325
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 1: and he guesses who said that. I've given you ample time.

326
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 1: You've gone through the rollerdecks of NFL coaches in your head,

327
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:40,719
Speaker 1: the winners from Sunday even you could even rule out Thursday,

328
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:48,400
Speaker 1: you can rule out Monday. It was Cliff Kingsbury leading

329
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:57,119
Speaker 1: at practice, professionalism, being there, early, staying late communication, that's his.

330
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 1: That's as much of an open jab to Kyler Murray

331
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:07,160
Speaker 1: as you will see. That's unbelievable. Cliff Kingsbury is sending

332
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:11,160
Speaker 1: a message to Kyler Murray. Now, this is it's openly

333
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 1: everybody knows they've disagreed a lot. They have not got along.

334
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 1: I don't think Kyler respects Cliff. I think Kyler knows

335
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,119
Speaker 1: he got paid and he doesn't care. Remember he was

336
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:24,120
Speaker 1: mouthing in that Thursday night game against the Saints, Calm

337
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 1: the F down, Calm the F down, and DeAndre Hopkins

338
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 1: had to step in. And then last week, yeah, last

339
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,199
Speaker 1: week and lost the Seattle The Hard Knocks behind the

340
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 1: Scenes show, there was a clip of DeAndre Hopkins coming

341
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,159
Speaker 1: off the field asking Kyler, like, what the f was that?

342
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: And Kyler was getting all defensive and DeAndre Hopkins was like, calling, listen, guys,

343
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 1: I'm just telling you. The Kyler Murray situation in Arizona.

344
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 1: Bears watching now. They're not moving him obviously. I don't

345
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:55,360
Speaker 1: think he's gonna up and leave for baseball. But nobody

346
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 1: is happy in Arizona. They don't like their quarterback, who,

347
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 1: as Cliff Kingsbury alluded to, loves to get there late

348
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 1: and leave early. And you guys know the stories about

349
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 1: Buddha Baker not like King Kyler Murray. You've seen the

350
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 1: video DeAndre Hopkins, like, the guy's not endearing himself to

351
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 1: the locker room. J. J. Watt is in that locker room.

352
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:25,399
Speaker 1: He's a leader. I would love to hear J. J. Watt.

353
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 1: I would love to hear what Larry Fitzgerald has to say.

354
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 1: And believe me, behind the scenes, I've heard he's not

355
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 1: not a fan of Kyler Muri. I would love to

356
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: hear an honest interview with Larry Fitzgerald about Kyler Murray.

357
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 1: I don't know that we'll get honest, because Arry FitzGeralds

358
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 1: are pro He's not gonna throw the guy under the bus.

359
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 1: But I can say this, Um, I know a guy

360
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 1: at f S one who was really critical of Kyler Murray.

361
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 1: I think I might even said it, and within like

362
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 1: forty eight hours, this guy's reps reached out to the

363
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:57,639
Speaker 1: guy and we're like, Yo, what's going on, dude with

364
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 1: a little harsh He's very sensitive. He's sensitive to criticism,

365
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:07,679
Speaker 1: whether it's from a coach, a teammate, the media. You know,

366
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:12,399
Speaker 1: I defended It's weird when you get new information, you

367
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 1: adjust your previous thoughts. And I was a staunch defender

368
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:20,160
Speaker 1: of Ben Simmons for a long time. The long time

369
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 1: listeners of my radio show, UM, they know I defended

370
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:25,959
Speaker 1: Ben Simmons for a long time. I can do that

371
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 1: no more. I defended Kyler Murray. I was a huge fan.

372
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,479
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously I like watching him. The more you

373
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,360
Speaker 1: hear about what's going on there, you just you're out

374
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:40,199
Speaker 1: on him. He's just not a fan. It's like, no.

375
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 1: But I'm I'm curious if this quote makes the rounds

376
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 1: today or if it gets buried. Listen, Kyla Marie is

377
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 1: a powerful agent. He also reps Kingsbury. Curious if the

378
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 1: agent is aware of the issues between those two. But

379
00:21:56,359 --> 00:22:00,239
Speaker 1: I've followed on Arizona enough. Um, while we're here, just

380
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 1: for the listeners who stayed to the very end, did

381
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 1: fire a couple of wagers for NFL Week eleven. I'm

382
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 1: calling up one of the accounts here and we have, uh,

383
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers plus five against the Bengals. I laid twelve

384
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 1: and a half with the Ravens. Don't like that, and

385
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 1: I took the over on Bears Falcons over fifty and

386
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,359
Speaker 1: a half. I'm excited for that game. I just like

387
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 1: watching Justin Fields and the Chicago Bears right now. I

388
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:37,920
Speaker 1: guess we could wrap up with a quick minute on

389
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 1: the NBA. Yeah, I was watching the highlights. Nice to

390
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 1: see the Warriors get the dub. Um happy for my Hawks. Yes,

391
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 1: they're my Atlanta Hawks. Good to see um what's his name?

392
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:55,119
Speaker 1: LaMelo Ball back in action? Um, you know, didn't shoot

393
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 1: it particularly well, but Charlotte got the dub. Still no

394
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 1: Paolo Banko, which is not great for Orlando here. No disrespect,

395
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 1: but they're kind of unwatchable without Paolo and um, it's

396
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 1: also kind of nice to see Kawai Leonard not playing

397
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:15,640
Speaker 1: for the Clippers. Paper clips by the way, eight and six.

398
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 1: The Rockets are just they're terrible. Jabari Smiths struggling the

399
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 1: rookie Kawhi Leonard every night. One of the first things

400
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 1: I do is I looked at Kawhi Leonard play. It's like, wait,

401
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,400
Speaker 1: he didn't start. Did he come off the bench? No,

402
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 1: he didn't come off the bench. John Wall not always playing.

403
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 1: It's basically Paul George, Reggie Jackson and and this Clippers team.

404
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 1: I cannot believe I took them to maybe go far

405
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:46,199
Speaker 1: in the Western Conference, Like how stupid was I? But

406
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:48,680
Speaker 1: at least my Hawks got the win over the Bucks.

407
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,440
Speaker 1: Bucks are starting to um take some hits here. They're

408
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 1: not the undefeated Milwaukee Bucks. They once were all right.

409
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 1: We'll be back tomorrow. We may have a super special guest.

410
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 1: Don't know if we've locked him down yet. We're efforting it,

411
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:01,879
Speaker 1: but we'll talk to you tomorrow. Eight
