35
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 1: So we will play the hits, and we begin with

36
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 1: Quarterback Injury Roulette for a thousand and a little rice

37
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 1: crispy Snap crackle pop. Yeah. Where do we start? Let's

38
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 1: see big money, big money, No whemies stop, all right,

39
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: We're gonna go to La That's what we're gonna start.

40
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 1: We start in Los Angeles and problems for a former

41
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: super Bowl hero, former super Bowl champion quarterback If you've

42
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: not heard yet, as things are not looking particularly good

43
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: for a quarterback that won the championship in la a

44
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:47,799
Speaker 1: couple years back there, and the coach is running interference.

45
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 1: So if you didn't follow this, Sean McVeigh, the head

46
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: coach of the Rams, knowing you can ram it all day,

47
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,639
Speaker 1: ram it all night, and you can ram your quarterbacks

48
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: back into the ground where he's all messed up. So

49
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 1: Sewan m walking the proverbial tightrope without a safety net

50
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: here protecting or attempting to protect Matthew Stafford, his starting

51
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 1: quarterback QB one. Remember the offseason when Tom Brady took

52
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford out in Montana and then a private enclave

53
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: there and they were trying to whine and dine him

54
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 1: and get him to go to the Raiders. And then

55
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: Tom Brady had to settle for Gino Smith, Holy crap,

56
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: And there were other teams that were flirting with Matthew Stafford. Well,

57
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 1: he ended up going back to the Rams. And now

58
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: he's not able to play. Say what, yeah, not able

59
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 1: to play? We are about a month about a month

60
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: away from the start of the NFL regular season. Matthew

61
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: Stafford's health a lingering cloud of doom over the Rams?

62
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: Is this the end of his career as a quarterback

63
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 1: in the NFL? Stafford has continued to be absent from

64
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: RAM training camp. And he has an issue on my

65
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: aching back. That's his issue. He's got back sore on this.

66
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 2: Now.

67
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: That prompted Sean McVay to describe the situationton as week

68
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 1: to week now. There was no official setback, there was

69
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: nothing stated. Might have been something, who knows, maybe he

70
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: bent over to get something in the kitchen and the

71
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 1: back snapped. But nonetheless, despite no official, no official setback,

72
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford, thirty seven has already now visited the spine specialists,

73
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 1: a specialist on the back twice twice. Now, that certainly

74
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: signals that this is not just a minor a minor bump.

75
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 1: There's something else going on. So let us discuss the question.

76
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: Rams coach Sean McVay continuing to downplay to downplay Matthew

77
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: Stafford's back issues with the Rams. What are your ears

78
00:04:57,839 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: tell you? What are your ears tell you? On this?

79
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: So I've we've got rocket fizz, piping hot and homecoming King,

80
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together and

81
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 1: we are going to make the Gabba ghul. We're gonna

82
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 1: make the Gabba gool. So A, Now, what did the

83
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: years say? I'll tell you my years. Hey, listening between

84
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:25,280
Speaker 1: the words, listening between the words here, it sounds like agony,

85
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: absolute agony. A week to week to me, sounds like

86
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: he's done, he's out. That's it, that's cod that's coach speak.

87
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: I've been around too long. I've heard the coach speak for.

88
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 1: We are praying to the gods to make sure that

89
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 1: we get something to happen. We need to go into

90
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: the sorcerer's workshop here and cook up a spell for

91
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:57,359
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford. We have to find something magical because that

92
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: spine is toast and they know it. He's cooked. You

93
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:09,160
Speaker 1: do not visit a spine specialist multiple times unless there

94
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 1: is something big time going on with that back there,

95
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: and why not. You look at the supporting evidence for

96
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford. He's in your seventeen, he's got the Super

97
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:27,039
Speaker 1: Bowl Championship there on his resume, he's got a lot

98
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: of touchdowns, a lot of broken body parts, and just

99
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: clued together. At this point, we're going to assume his

100
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 1: podcast wife there probably wants him to retire. So then

101
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 1: you've got Sean McVay in this soap opera. You've got

102
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 1: Sean McVay who's candy coating everything like he's working at

103
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,359
Speaker 1: Rocket Fizz and he's, Oh, everything's good, everything I covered

104
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,279
Speaker 1: in sugar, We're good. Everything's all right here. And he's

105
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 1: trying to feed the ram fan who's just trying to

106
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 1: ram it all day and Raymond all night, trying to

107
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:01,600
Speaker 1: feed the ram fan jolly ranchers. And then they're like, well, no,

108
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 1: this is not a jolly rancher situation. There's a hot Tomali.

109
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 1: This is hot Tomali situation. Yeah, spicy, all right. So

110
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 1: you're trying to walk the thin line. You're trying to

111
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: walk the line from being optimistic pep by Sean McVay

112
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 1: to wait a minute, this is a disaster, so I

113
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 1: got to do disaster control. But actions do always speak

114
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: louder than words. We've had that mantra for a long time.

115
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 1: It's kind of everyone's good should have that mantra. So

116
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford has in practiced, He hasn't thrown. He's essentially

117
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 1: just walking around like he's just walking the aisles at

118
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 1: home depot, looking at stuff. And if I hear week

119
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 1: to week week to week one more time, I am

120
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 1: going to rip my headphones off my head and throw

121
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 1: them against the wall, is what I'm going to do.

122
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: Week to week, week two week. Oh my god, that

123
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 1: is the phrase that you use as an NFL head

124
00:07:56,280 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: coach when you don't want to admit your pork. You

125
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 1: don't want to admit that. So yeah, week to week.

126
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 1: Eh yeah, week to week, my fat ass week to week.

127
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 1: So the Rams are one and I gotta make sure

128
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 1: I say this properly because this is the number one

129
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: phrase that is messed up on people that give updates

130
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 1: on medical conditions involving the back. But the La Rams

131
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 1: are one bulging disc. I said it disc. They're one

132
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 1: bulging disc away from Jimmy Garoppolo under center. So you

133
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 1: talk about going from Frelemonreon to gas station beef jerky,

134
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 1: That's what Jimmy Garoppolo is at this point. Now, can

135
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 1: the Rams slap together a good season during the regular Yes,

136
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: they can, of course they can. Do you expect them

137
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 1: to go on a burner and to the championship unlikely?

138
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 1: Can they beat crappy teams like Seattle and Arizona and

139
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers. Sure those teams suck down the

140
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 1: line against the better opponents. That's the problem, right, you

141
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 1: have to become a defense. The Rams better become a

142
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 1: top five team. He's even a garoppolo place, He's a

143
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 1: porcelain doll. We know that the guy slips on a

144
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 1: wet leaf somewhere and he's in the injury tent, camping

145
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 1: out and all that stuff. So the Rams have to

146
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 1: have a dominant defensive team. As Stafford, it's not looking

147
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 1: so good at this point today. We do the show today,

148
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 1: and at this point today, based on the available information

149
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: we have, things are not looking good. Meanwhile, speaking of

150
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 1: not looking good, we go to Cleveland, where it never

151
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 1: looks good in terms of the football team, and update

152
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:40,319
Speaker 1: a new update to the depth chart. I know nothing

153
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 1: more exciting, more compelling on talk radio than the Cleveland

154
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 1: Browns depth chart. Boy, we know how to keep you

155
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 1: satisfied as a consumer of overnight talk radio. So the

156
00:09:53,000 --> 00:10:00,679
Speaker 1: former Colorado star Shirdur Sanders is right now, Berry, He's

157
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 1: buried on the Browns depth chart. He is currently listed

158
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: as the fourth string quarterback. So how does that taste?

159
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,679
Speaker 1: How does that one taste? So that tastes like piping

160
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:17,559
Speaker 1: hot fresh out of the oven. Humble pie is what

161
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 1: that is. Humble pie right there. You get a slice,

162
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 1: You get a slice. You get a slice. So Schener

163
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 1: Sanders the next big thing in college, the prodigy, the

164
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 1: amazing Prince of Prime and the spawn of Dion, all

165
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:36,439
Speaker 1: that stuff. Four string on the worst team in the NFL,

166
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns. You want to talk about an emasculation situation,

167
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 1: that would be that. And that's what happens when the

168
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 1: hype does not match the tape and you apparently do

169
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 1: not get the red carpet rolled out for you because

170
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:58,680
Speaker 1: your daddy was flashy and worn sunglasses. If only Shirdhur

171
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 1: Sanders had been an NBA player, then he'd be in

172
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 1: really good shape, right Like Brownie James sucks and he's

173
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:08,319
Speaker 1: on the Lakers and all that. He can't play. Should Sanders,

174
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 1: though there's no guarantee, even makes the Cleveland Browns at

175
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 1: this particular point. And man, it appears that despite the

176
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 1: social media clout Schauduur Sanders has, the coaches don't seem

177
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 1: to care, his teammates don't seem to care very much.

178
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 1: And it's billed as a meritocracy. Now we know that

179
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 1: it's not always a meritocracy, at least it should be,

180
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 1: but it's not. And Shoulder has flunked the eye test.

181
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 1: So far, you get one shot. You get one shot

182
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: to make a first impression when you start a new job,

183
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 1: and it would appear, based on the outside looking in,

184
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 1: that he has tripped over his own shoelaces, Shudur Sanders

185
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 1: at this particular point. So, now I have watched some

186
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 1: of the practice clips. Now, usually they only send out

187
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 1: the good stuff, they don't send out the bad stuff

188
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 1: and all that. But even from what they've sent out,

189
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: which you know is heavily edited, and things are left

190
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 1: on the cutting room floor that you probably should see.

191
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 1: So there's nothing special from what I've seen. So kind

192
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 1: of reads things slowly, doesn't have an amazing top flight

193
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 1: arm and didn't see any of that in the practice clips.

194
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 1: And so much like we were talking about the Rams

195
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 1: sugar coating things with Matthew Stafford, we don't need to

196
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 1: sugarcoat things with sugar Sanders. You've got Joe Flacco, who

197
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 1: I just checked on his Pro Football reference page, just

198
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 1: turned four hundred years old, So happy birthday, Joe. Flacco.

199
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: You've got Kenny Pickett, who sucks, and then you've got

200
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 1: Dylan Gabriel who's left handed, which should mean that you're downgraded.

201
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 1: You're left handed. And he barely got drafted, but yet

202
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 1: was drafted ahead of Sudar Sanders. So shdu has been

203
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 1: unable to leap frog any of them. He's barely ahead

204
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 1: of Deshaun Watson Ben Watson game in play this year,

205
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 1: So man, what a mess. If Shoulder it was the

206
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 1: real deal in practice, not a game, we would assume

207
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: he'd be getting more opportunities, more chances, and would be

208
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 1: higher up on the depth chart. But what do we know.

209
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 1: We just do the overnight show. And so it turns

210
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:20,320
Speaker 1: out that at this point, despite all the big things

211
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,959
Speaker 1: on the socials, this is the NFL, not some kind

212
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 1: of branding seminar. And you produce your fourth on the

213
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:35,199
Speaker 1: depth chart and in danger of being gonzo see you later.

214
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 1: And he's not been the beacon of the Browns which

215
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: some were anticipating. There, he's at this point a footnote.

216
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 1: And right now that book is that book with the

217
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 1: footnote there that's closing rapidly. All right now, last word

218
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 1: to the gambling market we go. You know, we love

219
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:58,559
Speaker 1: the gambling market in these parts, and we can update

220
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: update the gambling odds. A very popular storyline this time

221
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,680
Speaker 1: of the year. Who is going to win the most

222
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 1: Valuable Player of the year. You know, they have that

223
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 1: ceremony before the Super Bowl where they have a red

224
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 1: carpet event and everyone gets all dulled up and they

225
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 1: hand out all these awards and pat each other on

226
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 1: the ass and say how great you are and all that. So,

227
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 1: according to our friends at DraftKings, a big sponsor of

228
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 1: this radio show, we're grateful for that. The people of

229
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 1: a DraftKings sportsbooks say, the public has spoken, and you

230
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 1: know who's the betting favorite according to the public to

231
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 1: be the most valuable player? Do you know who this is? No,

232
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 1: I want to take a guess. Who do you think

233
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 1: it is? Now you're wrong? Now you're wrong. Yet, No,

234
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 1: you're wrong. The correct answer if you said, if you

235
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 1: said Josh Allen the Bills.

236
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 2: You're wrong.

237
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 1: No, it's Bengals. It's Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow. That's the answer.

238
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: There plus six fifty most popular pick by popular people

239
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 1: in the NFL game market, Twenty two percent of the

240
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 1: bets have come in for the Bengals quarterback Lamar Jackson,

241
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 1: a multi time platinum MVP winner himself, plus fifty five

242
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 1: point fifty is behind Joe Burrow at twelve percent. Then

243
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 1: you've got Jayden Daniels of the Commanders, Patrick Mahomey. Patrick

244
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 1: mahomes is next, and then on the big board a

245
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 1: lot of dumb people in Philadelphia betting on Jalen Hurts

246
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 1: to be the MVP. Dumb d dumb, dumb dumb. Yeah,

247
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 1: good luck on that. So Joe Burrow at the very top,

248
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson right behind Joe Burrow among the most popular

249
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 1: NFL MVP bets at this particular point in time. What

250
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 1: does that tell you? So I'll go first. It tells

251
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 1: me the same thing it's told me every year since

252
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 1: we started talking about this. It is a PC situation.

253
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: Popularity contest is what it is. So you throw on

254
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 1: a pair of Gucci shades and you show up with

255
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 1: the cigar, got to have the stogy. You get the

256
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 1: cigar there and boom, you are the people's champ, right,

257
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 1: you are the people's Now listen, Joe Burrow, he's got

258
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 1: the swag and all that. He's got the arm and

259
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 1: when he is able to stay upright in Cincinnati and

260
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 1: not get tackled by a bowl of Skyline chili thrown

261
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 1: by just Josh or Justin in Cincinnati, when he's able

262
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 1: to avoid that. Sure, things are pretty good. Things are.

263
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 1: Things are pretty good. He's right there. And there's only

264
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 1: a few quarterbacks that are at that upper echelon in

265
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 1: the NFL, and he's one of them. But here's the

266
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 1: rub on this, here's the rub. The thing that bothers

267
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 1: me is I was asked the other day who I

268
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 1: like is the MVP, and I picked Joe Burrow. But

269
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 1: I don't want to be on the side of the public.

270
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 1: The public is always wrong. I don't want to be

271
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 1: on the side of the public. You're betting on Joe

272
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:04,120
Speaker 1: Burrow like he's already hoisting the trophy up in February,

273
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 1: and listen, I don't want to be on your side.

274
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 1: You've ruined that analysis for me that now he's gonna

275
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 1: be brittle Joe Burrow, and he's gonna get hurt and

276
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:17,200
Speaker 1: it's your fault. And now I'm gonna have to jump

277
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 1: away from Burrow. And as far as Lamar Jackson, listen,

278
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 1: Lamar's he's got the Hall of Fame regular season numbers,

279
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,920
Speaker 1: not so much in the playoffs. But Lamar Jackson, two

280
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 1: time Platinum MVP, he's second in bets. But you look

281
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:35,439
Speaker 1: at the AFC North, the quarterbacks in the AFC, nor

282
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 1: two of them here, that division turning into the Roman

283
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 1: Colosseum with two of the top picks to win the

284
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,119
Speaker 1: most valuable. And then you've got like washed up Aaron

285
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 1: Rodgers and then the slop the Cleveland Browns are thrown

286
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 1: out there. But man, those two. So the betting public,

287
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 1: the betting public loves a good story. They love a

288
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:03,200
Speaker 1: good story, and they love the swagger, the electricity of

289
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson and all that stuff. However, the MVP voting,

290
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 1: it is not the homecoming King situation. You do have

291
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 1: to stay relatively healthy for the balance of the seventeen

292
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,959
Speaker 1: week regular season that you play in. And again, we

293
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 1: love Burrow. We went with Burrow when we were asked

294
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 1: a while back, and so we've been Benny bright Side

295
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 1: on Joe Burrow for the MVP. The public writing this

296
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 1: one does bother it, bothers us bothers me a lot,

297
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 1: and you know it might be time to fade the

298
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 1: hype on that one. So MVP betting, MVP betting, the

299
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 1: Ultimate Instagram Contest. Right Instagram contest. You know, a little

300
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 1: football mixed in. They're just a little bit of football,

301
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:51,119
Speaker 1: just a teeny bit. And you're always not supposed to

302
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 1: bet with your heart. You're not supposed to bet with

303
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 1: your heart. And of course the casinos want you to

304
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:58,639
Speaker 1: bet with your heart because you're a loser. When you

305
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 1: bet with your heart, you lose who's much more than

306
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:02,359
Speaker 1: you win, So they want you to do that.

326
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 1: go to the quarterback derby and oh what a derby

327
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 1: is Indianapolis, Indiana known for the Indy five hundred and

328
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 1: mediocre football and we have a quarterback competition we so,

329
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 1: so it's time now for the obligatory mallor monologue on

330
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:49,120
Speaker 1: the high drama in Colts Camp. So you have on

331
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 1: one side of the aisle you have Daniel Jones, the

332
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 1: stumble bum. On the other side you have Anthony Richardson,

333
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:03,400
Speaker 1: built like a Dunnis and he plays like hollering James

334
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:09,440
Speaker 1: from Minnesota. So they are listed as co QB one.

335
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 1: So no, I didn't play in the NFL. However, if

336
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:18,399
Speaker 1: you have co starting quarterbacks, wouldn't that be great? If

337
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:21,639
Speaker 1: the Colts said we're gonna use both guys under center.

338
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:23,879
Speaker 1: We're just gonna have both of them out there at

339
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:27,159
Speaker 1: the same time, and we'll see what we're gonna do

340
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 1: at that point. Maybe we'll have Anthony Richardson in the backfield,

341
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 1: then he'll run out to the slot receiver, we'll have

342
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones, he'll go to the slop. But we're gonna

343
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 1: start the mote. So isn't that special? Now that's not

344
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 1: the story here. It did the lead to an absolute

345
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 1: gem of a quote from Anthony Richardson. So if you

346
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:54,239
Speaker 1: didn't hear this, and perhaps not, Richardson commenting about his

347
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 1: situation from top five draft pick to now having to

348
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 1: be in a dogfight with a literal dog in Daniel Jones,

349
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:08,680
Speaker 1: who sucks? So Richardson said, quote, even if they meaning

350
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 1: the Colts brought Tom Brady in here, he's the greatest,

351
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 1: but I just have to work and try to beat

352
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 1: him out. Richardson stated, he said, here's the key part

353
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:25,120
Speaker 1: of the quote. It's a me versus me type thing.

354
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:28,239
Speaker 1: It's a me versus me type thing. That is what

355
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 1: we call the money quote. That's a good jumping off point.

356
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:35,119
Speaker 1: So let us discuss the question Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson

357
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:41,199
Speaker 1: calling the QB competition in Indianapolis with Daniel Jones. A

358
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:47,439
Speaker 1: quote me versus me thing? How do you decode that quote?

359
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:52,879
Speaker 1: So I've got hot blonde, Cia level and fat kid,

360
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 1: three things that have never been thrown together, and we

361
00:22:56,040 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 1: will throw them together and say abra cadabra, hocus pocus.

362
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:05,120
Speaker 1: Here we go. So number I said, number one umber

363
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 1: just like QB one. This one smells like delusion. Now

364
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:17,439
Speaker 1: what does delusion smell like? Similar to rotten eggs, similar

365
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:21,959
Speaker 1: to sulfur, rotten eggs, that whole thing delusion. So you

366
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 1: are in a quarterback battle royale and you're brushing off

367
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 1: the guy who's right there with you, breathing down your neck.

368
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 1: Is what you're doing for Anthony Richards in a year.

369
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 1: So Daniel Jones, and I'm certainly not going to sit

370
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:43,399
Speaker 1: here and praise Daniel Jones. You know how I feel

371
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:45,439
Speaker 1: about him. If you've heard the show over the years,

372
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:48,879
Speaker 1: we've done many amoult of monologue about the many frailties

373
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 1: of Daniel Jones, how flawed he is, and we believe

374
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 1: he's covered in maggots. However, however, he's neck and neck

375
00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 1: for the starting job in Indianapolis. So what that tell you?

376
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:05,359
Speaker 1: It's the old Bill Parcell's line about Anthony Richardson. That

377
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 1: potential potential means you haven't done anything yet. And as

378
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,159
Speaker 1: we like to say, a prospect is a suspect and

379
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 1: to proven otherwise. And Anthony Richardson has been very suspect

380
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 1: when he's played. That's Richardson in a nutshell, is what

381
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 1: it is. Richardson. I'll tell you what Richardson is, the

382
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 1: hot blonde at the bar that looks amazing and then

383
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,479
Speaker 1: that kind of flirts with you, you know a lot

384
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 1: of contact, oh flirty and get you excited and then

385
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:39,440
Speaker 1: ghost you. That's what Anthony Richardson is, right, that's Richardson

386
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 1: in a nutshell. That's what he is. All tease, no please,

387
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 1: no results, nothing. And Richardson, who has a highlight reel,

388
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 1: if you want to call it, that of a little

389
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 1: bit of brilliance, a little bit of brilliance, heavily edited,

390
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 1: a lot of bonehead mistakes, a lot of those quitting,

391
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 1: taking himself out of the game. You don't you don't

392
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:02,920
Speaker 1: outlive that, you don't short change that. And every time

393
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:07,959
Speaker 1: Richardson rolls out in the pocket, and there's a lot

394
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 1: of people that go ooh and ah and all like

395
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:15,919
Speaker 1: he's the second coming, and then you look at the

396
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 1: actual results of that, and I guess accuracy does matter.

397
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 1: It does matter. He's a compass rose co North, south, east,

398
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,640
Speaker 1: west and anywhere else in between. You want to turnover,

399
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 1: he'll give you a turnover. You want zero, ability to

400
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:34,680
Speaker 1: stay on the field, He'll give you that as well.

401
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 1: He's got that. Richardson is. I believe he's in year

402
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 1: three now if I'm not mistaken, although really based on

403
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 1: games played a lot less than that, and yet this

404
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 1: far into his career, the conversation about Anthony Richardson is

405
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,640
Speaker 1: still well, let's talk about the traits that he has.

406
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:54,879
Speaker 1: Traits that's you know what that is. That's what dopey

407
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 1: sports radio hosts like me talk about. In the NFL

408
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 1: draft season in March and April, we talk about the

409
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 1: traits of quarterbacks, right, well, the combine in the NFL draft,

410
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 1: not in August of year three of your career. We're

411
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 1: not talking about your traits unless you blow Okay. So

412
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:16,679
Speaker 1: that's where we are. That's where we are, and I

413
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 1: hate to break it to Anthony Richardson, but it's not

414
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 1: me versus me. That's not a me versus me situation

415
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 1: based on a minutes long deliberation. It's you versus reality

416
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 1: is the situation. Right, You are in a dead heat.

417
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:35,639
Speaker 1: You are in a dead heat. Anthony Richardson with a

418
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 1: guy the Giants ran out of town and they had

419
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 1: nobody else other than Tommy Cutlet's they've ran your ass

420
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 1: out of town, right, And you're acting like you're baggling

421
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 1: the ghost of Peyton Manning or something like that at

422
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:53,679
Speaker 1: quarterback in Indianapolis. It's amazing, like the clock is ticking

423
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:57,399
Speaker 1: on both these guys. Now, listen, Daniel Jones. I know

424
00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 1: he has to stopover in Minnesota and he didn't play

425
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 1: or anything like that. But the Colts front office, okay,

426
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:07,359
Speaker 1: Jim Hersay left this mortal coil. Jim had a hard life,

427
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 1: a lot of sex, drugs, rock and roll. He's gone out.

428
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:14,400
Speaker 1: So now the daughter's running the team and so there's

429
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 1: a changing of the guard there. You ain't even sit around. Wait, well,

430
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 1: the upside upside, upside, upside upside, how about your upside down?

431
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 1: And your took us is what you want? Bill Parcells.

432
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 1: Another quote you lose with potential. You lose with the Naville,

433
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 1: you win with performance. And that's that's the Colts in

434
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:35,359
Speaker 1: a nutshell. You got Shane Steichen who's still hanging around there,

435
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 1: and does he really want to go six and eleven

436
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:42,440
Speaker 1: or seven and ten again while waiting for something to change.

437
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 1: Get that full Anthony Richardson experience there, and maybe he'll

438
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:49,440
Speaker 1: finally show up and this will be the year. Yeah,

439
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:54,439
Speaker 1: he's due, he's due. Right when you're the guy with

440
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 1: the most talent in the room, okay, you're the player

441
00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 1: with the most talent in the room, gets a little

442
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 1: bit brighter on your ass.

443
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 3: Uh.

444
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:06,400
Speaker 1: That's the way it works. So when you flame out,

445
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:10,359
Speaker 1: and that's what Richardson's doing right now, it does burn

446
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 1: a little bit bigger. The fire is a little bit bigger,

447
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:16,399
Speaker 1: and so the bar is higher for Richardson, as it

448
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 1: should be, as it should be. So instead of embracing

449
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 1: it and say I've sucked. You know, I'm terrible, and

450
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 1: I gotta be I gotta be better. And it seems

451
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,640
Speaker 1: just sounded like a deflection to me this quote, as

452
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:31,199
Speaker 1: we parse the words, it sounds to me like a

453
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 1: deflection like, well, the pressure just doesn't apply and if

454
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 1: you would like to impress gas bags like this one me,

455
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 1: then then don't give don't give me the zen, don't

456
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 1: give me the zen quotes about me versus me and

457
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 1: all that stuff that sounds like a bad morning radio show,

458
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 1: me versus me. Uh, get out there, take care of

459
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 1: the football, Take care of the football, maybe win some games.

460
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 1: Don't take yourself out of a game. Don't quit on

461
00:28:57,600 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 1: your team because you're a little gas because everyone's gassed

462
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 1: in second half of games, and all that stuff. Until

463
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 1: then you're just another failed draft pick clinging on getting

464
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 1: opportunities still because of the scouting report and based on

465
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 1: things you haven't actually done, but things you're supposed to do,

466
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 1: and it hasn't translated into on field success. Now, speaking

467
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 1: of on field success, we go now to Denver. Another

468
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 1: interesting quote. This one comes from Sean Payton, the former

469
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 1: Fox broadcaster current head coach of the Denver football team.

470
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 1: So Sean Payton thinks that Bronco quarterback Bownicks will be

471
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 1: a quote superstar soon. What is your verdict on this one?

472
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:46,959
Speaker 1: From Sean Payton made this comment recently in Colorado that

473
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 1: Bownicks will be a superstar. So we need a verdict

474
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 1: on this one. So my weasel word detector started vibrating,

475
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 1: just like that's what sounds. So he said superstar Sean

476
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 1: Payton soon, bow Knicks soon? Like, how soon? What are

477
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 1: we looking at? Like the end of this season? Superstar? Tomorrow? Tomorrow?

478
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 1: Tomorrow is another day? How about next year? Maybe next

479
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 1: year will be the year he's a superstar? So this

480
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 1: is you know, I guess to be plays right, Oh,

481
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:28,719
Speaker 1: you'll play, You'll be fine, He'll play. Soon is a hedge.

482
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:33,120
Speaker 1: Soon is a hedge. It is c I a level

483
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:38,600
Speaker 1: plausible deniability. I said soon. It's vague enough. It's vague

484
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 1: enough where if bow Knicks goes out there and plays

485
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 1: like flatulence, Sean Payton can say, well, I didn't mean

486
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:48,560
Speaker 1: this season. I said soon. Why did you expect me

487
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 1: to him to be great this year? I didn't say

488
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 1: it being superstar this year? I said. So. You know,

489
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:57,239
Speaker 1: soon as a relative term. If you're a turtle, If

490
00:30:57,760 --> 00:30:59,719
Speaker 1: you're a turtle, you lived like two hundred years, right,

491
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 1: soon could be you know, fifty years soon for a

492
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 1: turtle that's not that long, live two hundred and fifty years.

493
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 1: Whatever it is. If you're a tree, you lived two

494
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 1: thousand years on those big sequoia trees that live fifteen

495
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 1: hundred two thousand years and soon. That's a relative term.

496
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 1: So again, now on the flip side, if bow Knicks

497
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 1: does go out there and play well, and then Sean

498
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 1: Payton can say, hey, I told you, told you so.

499
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 1: I told you guy. Nobody likes I told you guy.

500
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 1: He could be I told you guy. It's again, coach

501
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 1: speak is what it is. It's a good time of

502
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 1: the year for coach be it is and pumping the

503
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 1: tires Sean Payton, they're pumping the tires on his hand

504
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 1: picked quarterback they got rid of. They chased out Russell Wilson,

505
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 1: mister unlimited. It was stunk up the joint in Colorado,

506
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:47,600
Speaker 1: and so they had to get somebody. This is the

507
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 1: guy they got. And you're the pr director of the Broncos.

508
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 1: But it's not really like analysis. It's not analysis, and

509
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 1: you don't take talent talent evaluations from a head coach

510
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 1: because the way I always look at these things, like

511
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:06,360
Speaker 1: if bo Nicks is terrible, is Sean Payton gonna says terrible. No,

512
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 1: he's not gonna say that. Nobody ever says it. Now,

513
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 1: I would take these comments as the gospel. If I

514
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 1: got coaches to say, boy, we got a quarterback who

515
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 1: is a bag of suck and that's our guy right now,

516
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 1: But they never say that New Orleans Saints have suck

517
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 1: bag over there. They have got a dog a poo

518
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 1: that's one of their quarterback options. And then they have

519
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 1: a bag of cockroaches that's the other option. Those are

520
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 1: the three options at quarterback there in norms. But you

521
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:38,240
Speaker 1: don't hear that. He said, well, this guy's got a

522
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 1: lot of love sign blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. Now,

523
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 1: how does one classify the superstar? What is a superstar

524
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 1: in the NFL? So you obviously have to dominate. It

525
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:53,640
Speaker 1: goes without saying there's a domination situation. You have to

526
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 1: be a player that people go out of their way

527
00:32:56,760 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 1: to watch, meaning that if you have more multiple games on,

528
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 1: you know the red zone, which he has beens about

529
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:04,960
Speaker 1: to kill, But if you had the red zone on,

530
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 1: you would tune out of the red zone to watch

531
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 1: the player because he's that good. He's a superstar. Okay,

532
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:15,960
Speaker 1: so you fill the stadiums, people tune in big ratings

533
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:19,600
Speaker 1: on television, and it's like the magic Johnson quot is

534
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 1: that you have to inspire the city a little much.

535
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:25,840
Speaker 1: But he said it. You know, superstars changed the mood

536
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 1: of the whole building and all that, and so I did.

537
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:30,520
Speaker 1: There's something to that. There's something to that that I

538
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 1: buy into. And at this point, based on today, bo

539
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 1: Nicks is not that guy. You're not that guy, Palt,

540
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 1: You're not that guy. He will give you lots of

541
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 1: bubble screens and system stats and all that stuff, and

542
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 1: you'll never be a superstar just being a system guy.

543
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 1: That will not be the case, just like Brock Purty's

544
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 1: never going to be the guy a superstar because he's

545
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 1: just a system quarterback in San Francisco. He got paid

546
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 1: a lot of money. Congratulations, but you're just a system guy.

547
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 1: Bo Nicks last year was the seventeenth ranked quarterback in

548
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 1: the NFL. So now I know I'm being just a

549
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:07,080
Speaker 1: hard oh and a jackass and you're being too mean.

550
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 1: But that's not superstar, you know, it's not. Now you

551
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 1: know what that makes you? By the way, average that

552
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:16,239
Speaker 1: is right in the same category with Geno Smith. Does

553
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 1: anyone think Gino Smith is a superstar? No, Gino Smith

554
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 1: is a placeholder at the Academy Awards. When you go

555
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:25,000
Speaker 1: to take a whiz, somebody has to fill your seat.

556
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:28,240
Speaker 1: That's Geno Smith, That's what he is. Certainly not anywhere

557
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:30,960
Speaker 1: near you talk about the upper echelon, which is Mahomes

558
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 1: and Joe Burrow and players like that. But man, so

559
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 1: you don't exactly become a superstar because your head coach

560
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:44,720
Speaker 1: says you're you're going to be that at a news

561
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 1: conference in the month of August. So we'll see. By

562
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:54,320
Speaker 1: dragging your team deep in the playoffs, that certainly changes

563
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:57,759
Speaker 1: the narrative. And we'll see if BO knows, If BO

564
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:01,040
Speaker 1: knows how to do that in Denver hasn't done it yet,

565
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:03,400
Speaker 1: only one year, small sample size, but that's all we

566
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 1: have to go on now. Final point to La La

567
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 1: Land we go follow up to the follow up to

568
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:12,320
Speaker 1: the follow up to the follow up Coach Jim Harbaugh.

569
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:17,719
Speaker 1: Coach Jim Harbaugh said, Chargers running back Nasei Harris one

570
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:21,920
Speaker 1: eyed nase that's too me. Naji Harris, who was playing

571
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 1: with fireworks and got the wrong end of the fireworks

572
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:28,319
Speaker 1: on the fourth of July at Stravaganza in Northern California. Well,

573
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:31,480
Speaker 1: some bad news here, Jim Harbaugh saying that Charger running

574
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:34,439
Speaker 1: back Naji Harris, he said he's getting better, And then

575
00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:37,760
Speaker 1: in the same breath, he said, right now at Charger

576
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:41,480
Speaker 1: training camp preparing for a National Football League season, Naji

577
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 1: Harris is currently walking laps as part of his rehab.

578
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:51,080
Speaker 1: He still has no timetable, no timetable to return to

579
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 1: the field in uniform. So where are you at on

580
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:58,000
Speaker 1: this one? Where are you at on this one? So

581
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:01,800
Speaker 1: that is wild. So Jim Harbin's, Oh, he's making progress.

582
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:06,759
Speaker 1: He's walking laps around the field. There's no timetable for

583
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:08,920
Speaker 1: him to put on pads and all that stuff. So

584
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 1: I keep going back to the calendar. We're now in

585
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:15,960
Speaker 1: early August. We're doing this on August fifth, and the

586
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:19,200
Speaker 1: Chargers have already played a preseason game. They have another

587
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:23,360
Speaker 1: exhibition game coming up this weekend, so they've got another

588
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:26,680
Speaker 1: exhibition game to look forward to. You here, and you've

589
00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:30,160
Speaker 1: got Jim Harbaugh out there. He's like, well, no, he's

590
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:34,520
Speaker 1: getting better. He's uh, he's getting better. He's so how

591
00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 1: exactly how does that work? Remember, the agent for Najie

592
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:42,800
Speaker 1: Harris said, but he suffered a superficial eye injury playing

593
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:46,359
Speaker 1: with fireworks, and here we are in training camp and

594
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 1: he's still walking laps. Yeah, yeah, there's a Does that

595
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:52,359
Speaker 1: help your eye? By the way, I should have great eyes.

596
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:54,400
Speaker 1: I walk a lot. I should have really good eyesight.

597
00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 1: My eyes should be freaking great. Why am I wearing glasses?

598
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:00,920
Speaker 1: I walk a lot. I should have really good eyesight.

599
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 1: So there is no timetable, no drills, no contact, just laps.

600
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:10,520
Speaker 1: And that's what the fat kid at junior high school

601
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 1: has to do in Pe when they forget their sneakers.

602
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:16,520
Speaker 1: You know, I know that I was the fat kid.

603
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:19,800
Speaker 1: I was the fat kid that had to walk laps

604
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:22,800
Speaker 1: in Pe. So I guess I could be an NFL

605
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:25,480
Speaker 1: player because I can walk labs. I could play for

606
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:29,520
Speaker 1: the Chargers. I could rehab for the Charge. The fat

607
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 1: kid walking laps, that's me. And that's Naje Harris, your

608
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:38,360
Speaker 1: big free agent running back pick up. There. It's great.

609
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:42,919
Speaker 1: It's not rehab. It's like a liability waiver. Well, you can't.

610
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:44,759
Speaker 1: We can't put you in pats. You can't see out

611
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:47,319
Speaker 1: of one of your eyes, unfortunately, and we can't give

612
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:49,160
Speaker 1: you cleats and a helmet and all that stuff. If

613
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:51,759
Speaker 1: Nasee could see I would assume he'd want to be

614
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:54,400
Speaker 1: out there and be cutting and exploding and taking handoffs

615
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:57,719
Speaker 1: and all that stuff, and he's you can't actually play

616
00:37:57,760 --> 00:37:59,920
Speaker 1: with one eye, that's the thing. And there was a

617
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:03,560
Speaker 1: the reason we have the combine is there was a

618
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:07,120
Speaker 1: guy drafted by the Jets that was blind, legally blind

619
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:10,239
Speaker 1: in one of his eyes and got drafted in the

620
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:12,280
Speaker 1: second round. Actually had a good career with the Jets,

621
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:14,839
Speaker 1: but they were so upset they drafted a blind guy

622
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:18,520
Speaker 1: that they started the combine to test people's vision and

623
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:20,440
Speaker 1: to see whether or not they could see or not

624
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 1: things like that. But anyway, listen, so Naji, he's pacing

625
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:29,000
Speaker 1: the sidelines and wandering around like he's waiting for a

626
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:32,719
Speaker 1: delay in the terminal or Spirit Airlines to get their

627
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:37,160
Speaker 1: act together and all that stuff. So not safe. Not saying,

628
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:42,360
Speaker 1: but that's the chargers, baby, show me your lightning bolt

629
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:45,440
Speaker 1: can take the Chargers out of San Diego. And they

630
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:48,680
Speaker 1: left years ago. But that's the that's the charge. That's

631
00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 1: the charge. I remember the old Chargers right. And if

632
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:55,759
Speaker 1: something goes sideways, if something can go wrong for the Chargers,

633
00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:58,800
Speaker 1: they they will will figure out a way. If it

634
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:00,759
Speaker 1: can't go wrong, they'll find a way for it to

635
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:04,960
Speaker 1: go wrong. And so fourth of July completely goes off

636
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 1: the rails. And now this player's career hanging in the balance,

637
00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:12,320
Speaker 1: hanging in the balance here, and then you've got Harball

638
00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:16,080
Speaker 1: over here giving coach spik. Yeah, he's getting better, and

639
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:19,399
Speaker 1: he's currently walking laps as part of his rehab. He's

640
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:23,480
Speaker 1: walking laps as part of his rehab. Okay, is that

641
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:25,680
Speaker 1: what they record? Like if you're an eye doctor, do

642
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:29,440
Speaker 1: you recommend Okay, you've got a bad eye, just walk lapse,

643
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 1: that'll make it better. No. But he's getting ten thousand

644
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 1: steps a day, which I'm jealous of. So he's got

645
00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:39,440
Speaker 1: he's got his he's got his Apple watch. There he's

646
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:41,480
Speaker 1: getting the ten thousand steps a day or whatever. So

647
00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:46,239
Speaker 1: there you go. So, based on just reading the t

648
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:49,640
Speaker 1: leaves here, I think he's gonna be coming back. I

649
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:51,160
Speaker 1: hope I'm wrong. I hope I'm wrong. I hope he

650
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:52,880
Speaker 1: comes back and is able to play and all that stuff.

651
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:56,480
Speaker 1: But he's a running back. This was kind of a

652
00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:59,920
Speaker 1: second chance. The Steelers dumped him. He's just a plo

653
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:03,239
Speaker 1: odding running back. When he can see they got other

654
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:06,440
Speaker 1: guys there It's not looking good for Nachie Harris at

655
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:08,480
Speaker 1: this point if you look at the long range forecast.

656
00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:10,880
Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of the Ben Mellor

659
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:15,400
Speaker 1: we go.

660
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:22,760
Speaker 2: This is one gets grilled.

661
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 4: So another thing Sean Payton said over the weekend was

662
00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:29,759
Speaker 4: that the short term goal for the Broncos is winning

663
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:31,880
Speaker 4: the division, but that he thinks this team is capable

664
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:34,000
Speaker 4: of winning the Super Bowl. Ben, do you think the

665
00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:36,320
Speaker 4: Broncos are capable of either of those things this season?

666
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:39,200
Speaker 1: No? Well, not the super Bowl, And the only way

667
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:42,920
Speaker 1: they'll win the division is a proper knee ligament tear

668
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:46,560
Speaker 1: and twisted ankle at the right time. Like, the Broncos

669
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:50,520
Speaker 1: will be a good team. There'll be a middleweight contender,

670
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:52,520
Speaker 1: but not a heavyweight contender next.

671
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:55,759
Speaker 4: DK metcalf told reporters that the Steelers defense is the

672
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:58,640
Speaker 4: best that he has ever seen. Last year, they were

673
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:00,560
Speaker 4: eighth in the league in scoring defense. Do you expect

674
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:01,879
Speaker 4: a big improvement from them this season?

675
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:04,520
Speaker 1: So it's nice of DK metcalfe to urinate all over

676
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:06,920
Speaker 1: the Seattle defenses that he had there. It's nice of

677
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:09,759
Speaker 1: him to say that, but but no, listen, Pittsburgh will

678
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:12,560
Speaker 1: be around that area. They the big additions. They picked

679
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:16,320
Speaker 1: up Darius Slay who was with Philadelphia, and Jalen Ramsey

680
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:18,800
Speaker 1: from Miami. Those are the two big additions on defense,

681
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:21,440
Speaker 1: So they're there. Are both players who have been around

682
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:25,440
Speaker 1: a while, good players. I believe they will end off

683
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:29,239
Speaker 1: right around that seven to ten range defensively, so they'll

684
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 1: be in that same department. But it's good that DK

685
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:35,399
Speaker 1: metcalf is the hype man for the Pittsburgh defense. Has TJ.

686
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:37,080
Speaker 1: Watt gotten paid yet? I don't think so.

687
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:41,319
Speaker 4: Next, Chad Johnson recently told TMZ that Jamar Chase is

688
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:43,640
Speaker 4: the best wide receiver ever to play for the Bengals

689
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:46,120
Speaker 4: and actually the best player in the NFL right now, Ben,

690
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:47,720
Speaker 4: do you agree with either of those statements?

691
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:51,359
Speaker 1: Well, he's better than Chad Johnson. I was a big

692
00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:54,240
Speaker 1: Chad Johnson fan. But Jamar Chase is better than Chad Johnson.

693
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:59,160
Speaker 1: So Chad Johnson was considered the top receiver with apologies

694
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:02,680
Speaker 1: to Chris Cowns in Bengals history. So yes, Jamar Chase

695
00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:05,320
Speaker 1: better than Chad Johnson. Uh No, he's not the greatest

696
00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:07,680
Speaker 1: receiver in the NFL, as a certain guy in Minnesota

697
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:11,360
Speaker 1: right now who has that title as the top receiver

698
00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:14,080
Speaker 1: in the NFL. I do like the word best coop,

699
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:15,560
Speaker 1: as you know, the best means as good as all

700
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:17,440
Speaker 1: the rest. So he's really just as good as all

701
00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:20,760
Speaker 1: the rest. But there is Mallard to the third degree.

702
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:23,080
Speaker 1: How did we do you failed this edition? What are

703
00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:26,759
Speaker 1: you heavy? West? Such a horseman? No, they're not. They're

704
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:31,560
Speaker 1: middleweight contender, middleweight content. That's all they are, middleweight contender.
