Speaker 1: The Around the NFL Podcast cleans as bests from the

2
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:09,800
Speaker 1: Factory of Sadness. Welcome back to another edition of the

3
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:12,119
Speaker 1: Around the NFL Podcast. My name is Dan Ands, and

4
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 1: I'm joined by a room filled with heroes, Mark Sessler,

5
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:19,320
Speaker 1: Chris Wesley, Greg Rosenthal, a lot of boys. Hey, Dan,

6
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:22,320
Speaker 1: it's happening. I had to spend one summer at an

7
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 1: asbestos awareness class. Was that part of your approbation? Now,

8
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 1: I was involved with my old law firm job. They

9
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 1: were remodeling and I was the only one allowed on

10
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,240
Speaker 1: the floor, so I had to go. I think I

11
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 1: probably got asbestosis for a while, contributed to my asthma

12
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 1: the entire summer. Well, you had to go like for

13
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:43,879
Speaker 1: a week or two. Chris Wesley's Roaring thirties. I was

14
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:47,200
Speaker 1: in my twenties when this, when this happened. Um, well,

15
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 1: I'm glad. We're all glad that you're still with us.

16
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:51,840
Speaker 1: And while on the subject of health, I just want

17
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 1: to send out a wish for a speedy recovery to

18
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 1: someone who's very close to us at this podcast, someone

19
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 1: we look up to. We're back their work, suffered an

20
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:06,319
Speaker 1: unfortunate injury and an athletic uh, contest of some kind

21
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 1: bano of you two. So get well soon, but just

22
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 1: kidding Daniel Jeremiah towards Achilles Tendon playing basketball. DJ. So

23
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 1: I know that we sometimes or I have have my issues,

24
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: don't include us on this. However, I did not want

25
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: to see that happen. And to Damashek who said on

26
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 1: Twitter that on some level I was using this as

27
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 1: an angle to get onto DJ show, not totally inaccurate,

28
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 1: but at the same time, I never wanted to happen

29
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 1: this way. Get well soon. I sent him a message

30
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,479

Speaker 1: unique personality, and it's not just the group agreeing on everything.

68
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,640

71
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: Mark my number one overall podcasts and number one NFL

72
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: should be daily show based purely on entertainment value. That's

73
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 1: pretty good. That's a good one, which one of you

74
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: guys wrote that that's almost uncomfortably nice. I don't like

75
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: it here. I felt uncouple of reading it at first,

76
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 1: but then as the compliments started to wash over, it

77
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: felt good and I just start getting into the read

78
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: a little bit. I like it, you know, So if

79
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: you maybe it's a little bit much, let's just you know,

80
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: wait's we're at the point. We're just gonna gloat over

81
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: ourselves at this point. Have you been around the last

82
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:36,159
Speaker 1: year and a half. That's all we do. Maybe maybe

83
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 1: people are here this, they'll leave their own and you

84
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: know they'll get written. Maybe they can be more creative

85
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: than this. It'll be funny something. You know, if you

86
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: write review a nice job, none of this four star

87
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 1: garbage or three star not so bad, not so good,

88
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 1: five star classic podcast, we might read it on the air.

89
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 1: So if you go to iTunes, this is despicable stuff

90
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,799
Speaker 1: we're doing right now. But that's how you win the game.

91
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: You play to win the game. We won the game

92
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: last year without pandering to our audience. Now we pander.

93
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 1: Oh we pander in two K fourteen. Uh, let's do

94
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 1: some news. But behind the glass, there's something different going

95
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 1: on there in a familiar face. Look at this handsome face,

96
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 1: and man that so eligible as a bachelor once drew

97
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 1: the crushing admiration of one of our female fans. He

98
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: is the immortal gold standard. Oh yeah, don't act like

99
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: you don't have a sound bit there. I didn't. I

100
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 1: felt round of aplause. Give yourself a fake round of applause.

101
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 1: Can we do this one? Sure? Why not? No one?

102
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 1: No one hanging out with TV too much. No one

103
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 1: has helped the bank account of cooling the gang more

104
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,159

107
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 1: last year. I can't even really remember anymore. It's all

108
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,840
Speaker 1: just a blur, but it's good to happen so much.

109
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: TD busy working on another project he deemed more important

110

Speaker 1: I'm in alright, gold Centered, welcome back. We love having

124
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:55,559
Speaker 1: you here. Let's do some news. Let's do it. We start.

125
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,039
Speaker 1: I'm used to having one of TD's little sound bites.

126
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:01,280
Speaker 1: There now little you a little bit about missing out

127
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 1: on t DA. There's a that he's locked in another

128
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:09,160
Speaker 1: room with duct tape over his mouth. Cannot confirm this fact.

129
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: We told you about abductions in a broom closet. All right,

130
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: let's start. Let's start with some news and we'll go

131
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: with Adrian Peterson, who was suspended officially without pay for

132
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 1: the rest of two thousand fourteen. This came down on Tuesday.

133
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: The NFL announced that Peterson will be uh out without

134
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: pay and cannot be considered for reinstatement before April two

135
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: thousand fifteen. Uh. They there was an appeal a correct

136
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: rag already that well, his grievance was heard already and

137
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 1: that has been shot down by an independent arbitrator. So

138
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 1: that isn't making the NFL or or you know, Adrian

139
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 1: Peterson very happy. So it's hard to see him coming

140
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: back to the field anytime soon. Yeah. So this is

141
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: uh and that's it. I mean, barring something really crazy,

142
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson will not play this season. Uh, you know,

143
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: without get too much into it, I find the whole

144
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: thing very frustrating. I don't think anybody handled this well,

145
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: starting with Peterson's actions off the field, how the Vikings

146
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 1: try to get him back on the field and then

147
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: pulled him off and then turn their back on him.

148
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 1: In my in my mind, the way the NFL maybe

149
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,679
Speaker 1: wasn't exactly done in a way that that is easy

150
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 1: to follow and follows the letter of the law they'reind

151
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: It kind of seems like it's going all over the place.

152
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: So it just ends with Adrian Peterson, one of the

153
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 1: great players of of our generation, disappearing for a year,

154
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 1: and that's what happened. It's not over quite yet because

155
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,319
Speaker 1: he still has the appeal to the NFL, but now

156
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 1: there's an argument who's going to hear that appeal, whether

157
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 1: it's Roger Goodell or someone else. So don't worry, we'll

158
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 1: still have more Adrian Peterson post wonderful, a little more

159
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 1: Adrian to come in the show, but a little more

160
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 1: fun talking about him. We move on. Robert Griffin, the

161
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,959
Speaker 1: third is again at the center of controversy in Washington.

162
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: We talked about how awful he was on Sunday as

163
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: a player, did not play well at all in a

164
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 1: loss to the Bucks at home. Him After the game,

165
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 1: he made some comments about how a quarterback can't be

166
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 1: great unless his teammates are great. That led to Jake

167
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 1: Ruden on Monday, UH calling out r G three and

168
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 1: saying he's not even close to playing good enough as

169
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: a quarterback, and then also admonishing him for making those comments,

170
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,199
Speaker 1: saying Robert has to worry about Robert. Then r G

171
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 1: three comes back on Wednesday, after UH sending a Facebook

172
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: message out, this is exhausting, but this is the Redskins

173
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,199
Speaker 1: sending a Facebook message out saying I would never throw

174
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 1: teammates on the bus. R G three has his media

175
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,439
Speaker 1: conference and gives the same answer over and over again.

176
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 1: We're we're focused on San Francisco, gets a little cute,

177
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 1: pulls a little Belichick move, and then Jake Ruden came

178
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 1: out on and his press conference couple hours after that

179
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 1: and apologize for being so blunt in his assessment of

180
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 1: RG three, saying he shouldn't have done that on Monday.

181
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 1: This team, this franchise is addicted to drama and it

182
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 1: is none of it is healthy. RG three can't say

183
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 1: what he said, whether he threw his team he under

184
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 1: the bus or not. You're the quarterback, you're the leader.

185
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,439
Speaker 1: You cannot disparage your teammates by comparing them to what

186
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 1: other quarterbacks have. And I'm glad Jay Gruden came down

187
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 1: hard on him, and I prefer that Jay Gruden who

188
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 1: got to speak his mind before Redskins management came to

189
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 1: him and told him he had to change his message

190
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: so obvious. Not only did Redskins management go to Jay

191
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: and be like pipe down, Jay, they went to r

192
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 1: G three and said, don't say a thing, and you're

193
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 1: a presconster. Every everyone's getting muzzled, as if that's gonna

194
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 1: fix it. It's just the whole thing is a mess.

195
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 1: It's an exhausting team to deal with, I think as

196
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 1: a football writer at this point, and I and I

197
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: think part of it is the is the media in

198
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 1: Washington are all over r G three's every move and

199
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:41,559
Speaker 1: as are we. But I would just say that of

200
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 1: all the teams that had so much hope a couple

201
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 1: of seasons ago to where they are now, and it

202
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 1: doesn't everyone thought. I thought, oh, when they get when

203
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 1: they flush Shanahan out of there, remember how crazy that

204
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 1: was at the end of the last year. You wouldn't

205
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 1: have thought it could have been just as bad this year.

206
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 1: It's somehow has gotten that bad. And I think it

207
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: starts with the fact that r G three's play on

208
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: the field. He hasn't won a game where he started

209
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 1: and finished the game and over a year. At this point,

210
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:07,199
Speaker 1: it's like everyone had the comparison to him and luck

211
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 1: or home runs. It's just whatever which whatever one you pick,

212
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 1: you can't go wrong for your organization. That's not been

213
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 1: the case on any level. He's been a drama magnet.

214
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,559
Speaker 1: You guys are saying, you know, the organization told Gruden

215
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,079
Speaker 1: to doing a boat face, and I'm sure there was conversations,

216
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 1: you know, with pr with hires up, but I don't

217
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: doubt that Jay Gruden regrets going that hard because he

218
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 1: napalmed him. I mean, we don't normally see a coach

219
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: say things like he took three step drops when he

220
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 1: should have taken five. He took a one step drop

221
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 1: when he should have taken three on a couple of tenies.

222
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 1: He stepped up when he didn't have to. You know,

223
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 1: Robert wasn't even close to being good enough. You can

224
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,079
Speaker 1: make the points that he's making without you know, going

225
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 1: out of your way to embarrass him and say, like

226
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 1: this guy is not even close to being a good quarterback.

227
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 1: And I don't doubt that Gruden had some regrets that

228
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 1: he took that public instead of private. You know what

229
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 1: that sounded like to me, like a coach that was piste.

230
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 1: He was it was a viscer reaction, and not just

231
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: to the play, but to wait what Griffin said afterward,

232
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,199
Speaker 1: and he got it came off his chest in a

233
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 1: bad spot a rookie coach. I guess that's a mistake

234
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 1: that happens. And West we were talking about it today

235
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: during lunch. How R G three used to be this

236
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 1: guy that was so fun to watch, not just on

237
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 1: the field, but also when he talked to the media.

238
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 1: The way he was open and and fun. Now with

239
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 1: the same things that that I personally liked about him

240
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 1: when he would speak to the press and be kind

241
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 1: of a unique guy, are the same things that drive

242
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 1: me crazy about him. Uh, The way he kind of

243
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 1: talks and circles some of the just the strange turns

244
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 1: of phrases, the way he brings attention on to himself

245
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 1: when he's pretending like he's not trying to bring attention

246
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 1: on to himself. There's some almost like a rod lack

247
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: of self awareness. Totally agree. It's almost like he's tone deaf.

248
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 1: And for me, the final straw was calling a press

249
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 1: conference to say that you're not playing and quoting Winston

250
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:54,959
Speaker 1: church Hill along three or four weeks ago, right before

251
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 1: the bye week when he wasn't allowed to play it.

252
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 1: I would think it was quote McCoy's first game, and

253
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:03,080
Speaker 1: he quoted Churchill for like three paragraphs. Well, they compared

254
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 1: himself to Rogers and Peyton Manning right when he was

255
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,560
Speaker 1: talking about the other quarterback. So you know how the

256
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 1: Landry era Cowboys ever won super Bowls without reassuring messages

257
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 1: from stallbacks facebook page and how did before something? I

258
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 1: am and I tweeted that what happened to r G three?

259
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 1: The guy? He went off the deep end? I got

260
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 1: tons of feedback, negative feedback, critical feedback from Redskins fan,

261
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 1: including one guy that wrote, you had like I wrote,

262
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 1: what happened to r G three? You happened? Yeah, hunchback hippie,

263
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,719
Speaker 1: My back is awesome. You're not a hippie either. No,

264
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,959
Speaker 1: you're the farthest thing from I. I agree with with

265
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 1: Wesleyan's initial assessment that Gruden his honesty is appreciated. I

266
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:52,439
Speaker 1: liked the idea that he came in kind of raw.

267
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 1: But I would say this about Gruden. He's not off

268
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 1: the hook either. He's done a poor job coaching his

269
00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 1: team from top to bottom. They brought him in to

270
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 1: be a quarterback whisper of sorts. He's been anything but that. Well,

271
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: the biggest travesty is how hard Griffin is to watch.

272
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 1: I mean, all this stuff off the fields one thing,

273
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 1: but the fact that he's dropping back and then he

274
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 1: just hops up in the air out of nowhere, and

275
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,080
Speaker 1: you can tell he just is so uncomfortable about what

276
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 1: he's seeing that this offense looks way better with Colt

277
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 1: McCoy like it's it's just not fun to watch. All Right,

278
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 1: we move on, We have to move out. We could

279
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 1: do a whole show talking about the Redskins, and we'll

280
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 1: talk about him on Thursday. We'll continue to talk about it.

281
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 1: So anyway, Buffalo, Western New York to be specific, well,

282
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 1: I guess Buffalo would be more specific than Western New York.

283
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 1: Let's just move forward. There is a snow apocalypse going on,

284
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 1: a snow catastrophe, snow tastrophe, snow rageous, four feet of

285
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 1: snow landed joke, snow joke bro four ft landed by Wednesday.

286
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 1: Another several feet are expected before Saturday. This is paralyzed

287
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 1: the region region and also led to a no driving

288
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 1: zone in the whole area, which is keeping all the

289
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 1: players try in their beautiful homes and condos, and some

290
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 1: of the coaching staff that made including Doug Moron, that

291
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 1: made it to the facility are bunker down there. They

292
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 1: couldn't leave if they wanted to, though knowing how coaches work,

293
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 1: they probably wouldn't want to leave anyway. And all of this,

294
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 1: all this is swirling around with a home game against

295
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 1: the Jets scheduled for Sunday afternoon, and there is a

296
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 1: lot of concern or a lot of uh thinking that

297
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 1: this game could be hard to get in because there's

298
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 1: just a pound of snow on every inch of ground

299
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 1: and it's a disaster. I think it was over two

300
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 1: hundred thousand tons of snow they had to get rid

301
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 1: of in the and the team was just made a

302
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: statement that we've never dealt with this amount of snow,

303
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 1: and that's even just talking about the fore feet that's there.

304
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 1: Now another foot or two are gonna come there. Have

305
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 1: they've offered to pay people uh, game tickets and ten

306
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 1: dollars an hour to help shovel them out. But it's

307
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 1: it's unchartered territory. Nice global warming gore one thing. My

308
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 1: grandfather grew up in that area, and I've been going

309
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 1: there since I was a young little kid. And this

310
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 1: isn't a shock to the people of Buffalo. This is

311
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 1: a little bit more immense than anything they've seen. But

312
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 1: I went to school up there, and around August twelve, now,

313
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 1: let's say September twelve or so, the the wind starts

314
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 1: to pick up and the females vanish and you don't

315
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 1: see them until late spring and literally Hyberna because people

316
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 1: just disappear on and you just see people coming by

317
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 1: and huddled layers of clothing. Now, this this issue may

318
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 1: be of larger proportion, but the NFL has got enough

319
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 1: money to dig themselves out of this. They can get

320
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 1: to Sunday. Well, it's this lost a ton of money

321
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 1: to get to clean the place up. How much. First

322
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 1: of all, are the Bills players loving this. They're just

323
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 1: hanging out extra, eating potato chips, getting into extra activities.

324
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 1: They don't even have to practice. Marona is just just said, well,

325
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 1: you know they might have the munchies or whatever is

326
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 1: going on. You know, Maron meanwhile sending the game plan

327
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 1: through their iPads, Like, do you think it's like being

328
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 1: intercepted by John Zick's computer nerds in a room? I

329
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 1: just can't imagine Bryce Brown Brais Browns like yeah, Real

330
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:08,159
Speaker 1: Housewives playbook. It's like, no, you're just hanging out. I

331
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,359
Speaker 1: want potato chip. First of all, you're giving you're giving

332
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 1: John zeck way too much credit to think that he

333
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 1: would be able to steal transmissions like that? Is it

334
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:16,679
Speaker 1: doesn't even know it's snowing right now? Is this the

335
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 1: beginning of a New York Jets season that comes back

336
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,199
Speaker 1: from the bridge? You're gonna win this week and it

337
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 1: has nothing to do with the snow. Maybe this is

338
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,680
Speaker 1: the final embarrassment to this Jet season. You're gonna get

339
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 1: beat by a team that didn't even get the practice,

340
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 1: just like the Patriots gonna get beating the Super bowls

341
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 1: New York. Does the glacier grow in size? Maybe it's

342
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 1: a good call. One interesting note, kind of funny note

343
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 1: from Edward or before we move on? Uh? He tweeted

344
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 1: today Bill Polly and told me yesterday the reason Ralph

345
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 1: Wilson Stadium was built in Orchard Park. Was land was

346
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 1: cheap because of the highest highest accumulation of snow. So

347
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 1: you know, the bill comes to sometimes the bill always

348
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 1: comes to, alright, Moving on, like Garrett Blunt was released

349
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 1: by the Pittsburgh Steeler. Is this after Monday night where

350
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 1: he left the field? Uh prematurely in the in the

351
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,239
Speaker 1: midst of Levy on Bell's career night, the two d night,

352
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:11,959
Speaker 1: Blunt did not get a single carry left the field.

353
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 1: This obviously led to a lot of internal consternation and

354
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:20,120
Speaker 1: ended with the Steelers cutting Blunt on Tuesday, and they

355
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:25,160
Speaker 1: moved forward and marquise uh marquise uh paltsy I think

356
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 1: spoke for the whole team where he came where better?

357
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 1: This is a blessing in disguise. Blunt was not a

358
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:31,639
Speaker 1: popular guy in that locker room. That's not gonna do

359
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 1: well for his free agent value. When they say it's

360
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 1: a blessing in disguise, this guy's a known knucklehead. I

361
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 1: mean he was averaging about six carries a game, and

362
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,400
Speaker 1: they didn't make a rush to go get any veteran

363
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 1: to replace him or anything that they don't have much

364
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 1: behind him buying Bell, They've got what Josh Harris, an

365
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 1: undrafted guy, and Dree Archer who Dree Archer has proven

366
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 1: himself not to be a running back at this point

367
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 1: for the most part. Remember early, like in training camp,

368
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 1: when fantasyly people were concerned about drafting Levy on Bell

369
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:06,159
Speaker 1: too early because Garrett Blunt was going to steal his

370
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 1: carries and his touchdowns. And I don't think there was

371
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 1: a shocking, terrible thing to think. I do relatively not

372
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 1: that we knew Bell was going to be one of

373
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 1: the best running backs in the league, but la Garrett

374
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: Blunt is a role player, and well, it's amazing that

375
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 1: Bell now has come to the point where it's like,

376
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:24,200
Speaker 1: would you was there any other running back you would

377
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 1: rather have for the next five years. I don't think

378
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 1: there would be for me. Ran for almost four hundred

379
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 1: yards over two games. I mean, he looked good in

380
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:38,160
Speaker 1: New England's he was joining his third team, and he's

381
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 1: one of the worst players on third downs, which you

382
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 1: know limits his versatility of anyone in the league for

383
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 1: his size. He's been one of the worst short yardage

384
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,159
Speaker 1: backs in the NFL since he entered the league. I

385
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 1: think he'll get a job eventually, but teams weren't exactly

386
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 1: clamoring to pick him up. Another malcontent running back also

387
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 1: was shown the door. It's such a strong word. It's

388
00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 1: a little bit of a score guy qualify. Ben Tate

389
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 1: was released by Mark's boys, the Browns. UH. Tate had

390
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 1: also fallen out of favor within UH the coaching staff,

391
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 1: and also didn't seem to be a very popular guy

392
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 1: in the locker room, so they said goodbye Ben Tate

393
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:15,680
Speaker 1: after a long courtship in the offseason that didn't work out.

394
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 1: So he actually lands somewhere. He's claimed on waivers by

395
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings. That happened on Wednesday afternoon, So bent

396
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:28,159
Speaker 1: Tate looks like he will officially replace Adrian Peterson or

397
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,880
Speaker 1: take his spot on the roster, perhaps indefinitely. Uh. Your

398
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 1: thoughts on this, Mark, Well, it was one of those

399
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:38,480
Speaker 1: things where for weeks Tate had You can go watched

400
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 1: his pressers online and there's just sort of this prickly

401
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,640
Speaker 1: ornerary nonsense between him and the press, which means nothing.

402
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 1: Maybe we don't care about that. That's tons of athletes.

403
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,199
Speaker 1: But when he was flushed out of there, some of

404
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 1: those reporters who had talked to other players, like I

405
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:54,920
Speaker 1: saw one guy from the Associated Press basically, and he

406
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 1: hadn't reported this before, but one player had told him

407
00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 1: a month Agoways said he won't be here for long,

408
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 1: Like there was some seed and something growing here where

409
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:04,879
Speaker 1: Tay just wasn't fitting in and probably especially in that

410
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,440
Speaker 1: law in the running back room where you couldn't tell

411
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:09,239
Speaker 1: who was going to get the carries each week. These

412
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 1: guy's gotta be smarter, especially if you're running back and

413
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 1: know how they're treated as a dime a dozen. Uh

414
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 1: you you, I guess if it's your disposition, you can't

415
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 1: help who you are. If you're gonna be a guy

416
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:19,920
Speaker 1: that's a pain in the ass. But he did not.

417
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 1: I mean he he left himself extremely vulnerable because what

418
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:24,880
Speaker 1: you're not contributing to the team, if you're not gonna

419
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:26,680
Speaker 1: be a good guy in the locker room, why why

420
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 1: do they have any reason to hold onto And one

421
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:32,200
Speaker 1: thing since week five two point two yards per carry. Yeah,

422
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:35,120
Speaker 1: he's not stood out as someone that was helping them

423
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 1: at all. And he was awful against the Texas what

424
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 1: he stood out as one of the worst running backs

425
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 1: in the league. He's so indecisive and he's not gonna

426
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 1: make anyone. But you know, he looked good with the Texans.

427
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 1: I thought it's in stretches. Running Backs don't get better

428
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 1: of the course as this season. Really they are what

429
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:52,200
Speaker 1: they are. They might get better in an off season.

430
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 1: But this guy, he had a six yard loss against

431
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:57,399
Speaker 1: the Texans. I've run slower in my nightmares when I

432
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:01,159
Speaker 1: kept falling down. Then he did the corner. They're not

433
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 1: the Vikings aren't getting a good running back here. It's strange, though,

434
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 1: because not that we were as a group falling over

435
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:08,479
Speaker 1: ourselves saying what a great move by the Browns when

436
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 1: they signed him. But I think a lot of people

437
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 1: saw this as an upgrade in the Cleveland Black backfield.

438
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 1: So what happened from his time in Houston to Cleveland

439
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:18,400
Speaker 1: where now he looks like a guy that can't even

440
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 1: get it done in the NFL. You know, Zack, I

441
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:25,399
Speaker 1: would expect, Oh it's not Zack. As TV is taking

442
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,160
Speaker 1: the scene, I was gonna say, you know, i'd expect

443
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 1: more from Zach, and I do not. That is the

444
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 1: way to know that TV is back when he drops

445
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 1: the factory, didn't we talk about he didn't just couldn't

446
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 1: give up either. I do like that. He was kind

447
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,399
Speaker 1: of like, I'm trying to think who's a quarterback? Who

448
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 1: the backups doing a little too well? And TV gets

449
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 1: back in there, and even before he's fully healthy again,

450
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 1: you're limping around like Tony Romo, Right, Hey, man, I

451
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 1: gotta be here, gotta be back. Well, I think we've

452
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:58,159
Speaker 1: compared running back to starting pitchers before in baseball. You

453
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,200
Speaker 1: you don't know how good his legs are, just like true,

454
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,360
Speaker 1: you don't know how good their arms are. And take

455
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 1: just didn't have it this year. Well, yeah, it hurt

456
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 1: the first game, so that that would be a good answer.

457
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 1: He got hurt in game one, missed a month, and gentlemen,

458
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 1: that's what's happening. Stick up for King um. Here lies

459
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:24,920
Speaker 1: Christopher Theodore Westling, who passed away Sunday after a long

460
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:30,159
Speaker 1: battle with ineffective prognostication. West will be remembered for his smile,

461
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 1: large collection of hats, and deep and lasting disgusted for

462
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 1: Eli Manning and Louis Flowers. Please drink responsibly at Huckapoos.

463
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:48,120
Speaker 1: It's over. My middle name is not Theodore. I took

464
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 1: a shot. I was like I was jogging my memories like,

465
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 1: did he ever tell me his middle name? But Theodore

466
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 1: sounds right? Robert, Robert Christopher Robert westling West. This was

467
00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:58,920
Speaker 1: a group decision. I don't want you to think that

468
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,920
Speaker 1: I'm just throwing under the bust. We're not literally killing you.

469
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:05,120
Speaker 1: It's just your picks for the season is out through

470
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:08,640
Speaker 1: week eleven. It seems to be an impossible road to plow.

471
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 1: Greg forked me last year. This year you get the fork.

472
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 1: All right, your thoughts, Let's see what happens. Do you

473
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,680
Speaker 1: believe you have a miraculous runs in you? Of course,

474
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:22,439
Speaker 1: mark your thoughts. I like that you believe that. Why

475
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 1: if you didn't have that belief, then you would be

476
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 1: the one to be forking yourself right now. But you're saying,

477
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:29,959
Speaker 1: we're gonna get one of these forks wrong. We've now

478
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,359
Speaker 1: put you in the fork mix. Maybe we get you wrong.

479
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:34,639
Speaker 1: If I can cause Greg to write out a handsome

480
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 1: check to a charity, that will make me feel good.

481
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 1: So your problem here is you're behind four different people.

482
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 1: So what you know, Dan, who's in first struggle? But

483
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,640
Speaker 1: maybe you can't catch up all four. I am two

484
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 1: games up, I excuse me, sorry, three games up on

485
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:55,359
Speaker 1: Greg two games, Greg, Uh, yeah, close two games up

486
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 1: on Patra and three on Cessler and ten on Wet.

487
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:01,639
Speaker 1: So I'm tied with the boss and I told him

488
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 1: I will let him win. That's how you got that

489
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 1: glowing review last week. This is how is how this

490
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 1: happens in this business. That's why Dan wasn't at last

491
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 1: Thursday's show. I don't like these pick standings. Listen, I

492
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 1: get with the program and now I'm back. Uh so, yes,

493
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 1: all right, West, you say you will come, you arise

494
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:25,200
Speaker 1: from the dead like a phoenix. That's my plan such

495
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:28,439
Speaker 1: as it was. I like it, all right, let's uh

496
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 1: that's the only fork for this week. By the way,

497
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:32,679
Speaker 1: it seems a little shoehorned in, but we just need

498
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 1: to get it in on the West. Seems a little contrived,

499
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 1: a little labor, Yeah, a little labor, little forest, but

500
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:44,160
Speaker 1: sometimes these things that's how they come off. Next week, though,

501
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 1: we will be forking actual teams, and uh, of course,

502
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:50,119
Speaker 1: I guess we'll check in on West's proclamations see if

503
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:52,199
Speaker 1: maybe he does start to get back into it. Now,

504
00:25:52,320 --> 00:26:00,160
Speaker 1: let's play some games. Why From Culver City, California, It's

505
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 1: America's favorite game show, The Gold standard. They took away

506
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 1: his body, but they can't take away his spirit. He's

507
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 1: with us always, whether you literally kicked him out of

508
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 1: the room TV. Is he even back there? He hasn't

509
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 1: setting him down to edit something. He's actually down below

510
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:28,680
Speaker 1: sweeping the carpets with any of my boy. He has

511
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 1: other stuff to do. He was helping out TD. Everything

512
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 1: that we do reveals character or lack of it. Omen

513
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 1: is great for helping me off of the first fifteen

514
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 1: minutes of the show. Alright, did you meet social media

515
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 1: Mike by the way to You're right, he's the week.

516
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:49,879
Speaker 1: Come on, he flushed your TV just seeing him. Hey,

517
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 1: what's up Mike? Why do you want to ask him

518
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:57,360
Speaker 1: what his favorite route tree is or something? Route concept

519
00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:01,439
Speaker 1: bro rout concept. Yeah, social media Mike, by the way,

520
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:03,160
Speaker 1: he's teaching You missed this part of the policy. He's

521
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,440
Speaker 1: teaching us how to take over the Internet in a

522
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:08,200
Speaker 1: in a deeply kind of a little bit of a

523
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 1: dirty way, playing a little dirty pool. But that's all

524
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 1: we want to get that chetah. We want to get paid,

525
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 1: We want to get more likes, we want to get

526
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 1: more rewards, more money. This isn't new, by the way,

527
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 1: if you remember the k Rich era of producing. She pushed,

528
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 1: She pushed through that Stitcher award pretty hard. You know

529
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:27,119
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. She did push that Stitcher award right

530
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:28,879
Speaker 1: out of our grasp. I don't know where it is.

531
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:32,160
Speaker 1: Where is that there was a physical award handed out

532
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 1: for that feat on our part winning So inside right now,

533
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 1: I'm a big fan of the name social media, Mike.

534
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 1: I like it. Okay, it's good, it's original. Uh and uh,

535
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 1: here we go. So this is what's more likely. It's

536
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:48,120
Speaker 1: pretty easy game to figure out. I'm gonna throw out

537
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 1: two possibilities to the to the room, and then I'm

538
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:55,119
Speaker 1: you guys are gonna tell me what's more likely of

539
00:27:55,160 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 1: those two possibilities. So let's start. What are likely Robert

540
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:05,359
Speaker 1: Griffin the third keeps his job beyond the season, or

541
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:09,879
Speaker 1: Rex Ryan keeps his job beyond the season, giving it

542
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 1: dropping a hammer right to clarify, you mean they would

543
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:14,440
Speaker 1: the other option, but they would not even be with

544
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:17,720
Speaker 1: the team anymore. If you're if you're RG three, why

545
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 1: are you trying to get my paper notes? I wanted

546
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:22,160
Speaker 1: you to repeat the question that was gonna read, reread again.

547
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 1: It wasn't really RG three keeps his job beyond. That's good.

548
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:29,680
Speaker 1: I actually I always suspected it, but now it's going

549
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 1: in just that one time. You know r G three

550
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 1: beyond or Rex Ryan beyond and their current jobs. What

551
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 1: were you saying? It's it's uh, let's just continue on.

552
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 1: I think that right now Rex Ryan is better at

553
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 1: his job than r G three is. That's not answering

554
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 1: the question r G three, I'll answer r G three

555
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 1: is much more likely to be with the Red Sky.

556
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 1: I would agree with Ryan. I'm gonna go against the

557
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:58,479
Speaker 1: grain here and say Rex Ryan us. I think Rex

558
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 1: Ryan has a chance. I think of Rex gets six wins,

559
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 1: maybe seven wins, and RG three plays like this for

560
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 1: another five weeks and then has a sixteen million dollar

561
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 1: roster uh and salary do next year? I think the

562
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 1: Redskin is gonna say, you know, smell you later, buddy. Well,

563
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 1: this might be a push, but we have to pick something.

564
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 1: What did you pick? I went with Rex being gone,

565
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 1: but I mean there's there's outstanding logic for both people

566
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 1: not being with the I don't think it's close because

567
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 1: I don't think Rex has any realistic chance at this point,

568
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 1: barring like winning the rest of the games, which I

569
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 1: just don't see happening at all. What are they going

570
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 1: to think? Okay, next year is the year Rex Ryan

571
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 1: finally figures out there's an offensive side of the ball too.

572
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 1: Like that, that's not going to change. He could use

573
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 1: a quarterback, by the way, he could have a plan.

574
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 1: He could do something that would fix half of the side,

575
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 1: you know, half of the sport. The ultimate Jet fan nightmare,

576
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 1: by the way, is Rex going somewhere else where a

577
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 1: real quarterback is entrenched and someone on the other side

578
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 1: of the ball that can coach that position. And he

579
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 1: wins the Super Bowl and it's like the biggest celebrity

580
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:00,480
Speaker 1: in America in sports not only went to Super boyl

581
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 1: has a fifteen year stretch Like Bill Belichick, I got

582
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 1: one for your Rex Ryan takes over Gruden's job in

583
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 1: Washington and takes r G three to the playoffs. That's good. Well,

584
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 1: just spun that question on its ear. He really did.

585
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 1: Is that was that, assessor? Do you think that will happen?

586
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 1: I dislike the concept of it. Okay, still waiting for

587
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 1: that Tom Brady trade or whatever was going on. More

588
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 1: likely the Detroit Lions flame out and missed the playoffs.

589
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 1: Or the Cowboys flame out and missed the playoffs. Two teams,

590
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 1: I believe, or seven to three, is that correct? That's correct.

591
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 1: My first instinct is the Cowboys, But then I the

592
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 1: Lions go to the page, go to New England this week.

593
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 1: Nobody wins in New England, and they finished the season

594
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 1: in Green Bay. Nobody wins in Green Bay. So that's

595
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 1: two lowsomees right there. But the games in between that

596
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 1: that's fair. I don't expect them to win either one

597
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 1: of those. But the games in between, three home games

598
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 1: against Tomato Cans, Bay Airs, Bucks, Vikings in a row.

599
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 1: I don't know if the Bucks are gonna be a

600
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 1: Tomato Can down the stretch, and then they go to

601
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 1: the Bears. Cowboys missed the playoff. All right, Let's look

602
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 1: at the because I think all of us think deep

603
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:12,960
Speaker 1: down the Cowboys are gonna miss the playoffs potentially. Let

604
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 1: me just take a look at their schedule. They have

605
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 1: coming off thereby at Giants. Mark we're gonna play the

606
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 1: game where you decide who wins or loses at Giants.

607
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:23,960
Speaker 1: This is the Cowboys. They're gonna win eight and three

608
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 1: home to Eagles Thanksgiving, lose eight and four at Bears,

609
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 1: win nine and four at Eagles win tenant four home

610
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 1: to Colts, lose tenant five at Redskins. They're gonna lose

611
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 1: tenant six. Will probably make the playoffs anyway, But I

612
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:43,480
Speaker 1: love that they would blow the game against the Redskins

613
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 1: and weeks and then six might not be good enough.

614
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 1: Maybe not could be a tie. That is a really

615
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 1: tough one. Thanks. I'm gonna say the Cowboys are more likely.

616
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 1: What did you say? I did not pick yet, and

617
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 1: I this this is a great pairing because the one

618
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 1: the ones to eat up the other. I Detroit. Detroit

619
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:06,719
Speaker 1: misses the playoffs, right, learn how to score more than

620
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 1: fourteen points? How about it? Bang? What more likely the

621
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers win the NFC South or Greg's adolescent

622
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 1: angst band Delaware reunites and scores a top ten hit

623
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 1: with the IMO single Hurt Hurts. It was not emo

624
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 1: or goth at all. It was more of a mix

625
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:34,960
Speaker 1: between like they might be giants and you know, I

626
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 1: don't know there was It's more like indie stupidity. There

627
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 1: was more revelations by the way downstairs today, Greg did

628
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 1: not play an instrument. He called it an instrumental band

629
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 1: at first, and then revealed that he was the singer

630
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 1: and did not play an instrument So he's either not

631
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 1: doing anything. I said, I was not the lead singer

632
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 1: necessarily because a lot of different people sang. But that

633
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 1: what do you play the triangle? Yeah, little things like that.

634
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 1: You know what Again, I will implore the readers or

635
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 1: the listen ship if you could track down Delaware. They

636
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 1: were a band based out of western Massachusetts. They played

637
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 1: some talent shows. A lot of it was videotaped by

638
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 1: the mothers of one of the people in the band,

639
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 1: the drummer. I believe that's out there somewhere. Is it

640
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 1: out there? A band called Della with Greg is the

641
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 1: leadish singer. They might be Giants mixed with the Dead Milkman.

642
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 1: I would say, we got to get this thing skater boys. Anyway,

643
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 1: for the answer, I'm gonna go with that the band

644
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 1: has a better chance to get back together. The Bucks

645
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 1: are done. But we haven't even begun to get into

646
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 1: the part of Greg's life where there's the pollings of

647
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 1: the midlife crisis. And he still knows the name of

648
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:40,080
Speaker 1: the other people in the band, and he's talked about

649
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 1: them is like an old friend. I could see that

650
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 1: deep well. But they start connecting and I'm not saying

651
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 1: it's gonna happen next week, but yes, they're gonna get

652
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 1: back together. Greg's gonna do his crooning, and this goth

653
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:54,200
Speaker 1: outfit is gonna rise. We once at a talent show

654
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 1: under a different name. Thing did. We're not gonna take it.

655
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 1: You guys are on the edge. Listen to the nostalgia

656
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 1: that's helping me with my pick. Here you go, the

657
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 1: nostalgia in his voice. And Mark's right. Greg's only thirty five.

658
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 1: He has another five ten years before his life, well

659
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:15,279
Speaker 1: before midlife crisis and before you know, maybe the fact

660
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 1: that l A is kind of vapid creeps into his

661
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:19,960
Speaker 1: thoughts and he's looking for something more meaningful in a

662
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 1: return to his music roots. I could see that happening.

663
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 1: I'm going with the Bucks, This saint happening, Love E Smith,

664
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:31,279
Speaker 1: Jash mccow going to Chicago this week. They're angry. I

665
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 1: just want to hear the cringe worthy acoustic valves about

666
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:37,040
Speaker 1: Greg's daughter. That would definitely be in the back end

667
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:43,240
Speaker 1: of the album. That would be great. What more likely

668
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:47,480
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown breaks Marvin Harrison's single season reception record. He's

669
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:50,319
Speaker 1: on pace for one one. The record is one forty three.

670
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 1: Or DeMarco Murray sets a single season rushing record. He's

671
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:56,520
Speaker 1: on pace for nineteen seventy three. The record is five.

672
00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:00,320
Speaker 1: This one's easy for me. Antonio Brown is more like Gleet.

673
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:03,319
Speaker 1: He gets five every game, and most games it gets

674
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:05,359
Speaker 1: nine or ten. I have to echo that. I mean,

675
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:07,719
Speaker 1: it's the rushing thing where I we're talking about a

676
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,400
Speaker 1: running back who's on fire, But is he can he

677
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:12,400
Speaker 1: miss a game or two that would end that right away.

678
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 1: I have a bit of assesslor he doesn't reach eighteen hundred,

679
00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna They're just giving him the ball

680
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:19,920
Speaker 1: too much. He's gonna get hurt. I'd go. I'd go

681
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:22,399
Speaker 1: with you guys as well. We all agree that's not fun.

682
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:28,879
Speaker 1: Can't all be home runs? What more likely someone gives

683
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 1: a what entroll roll says has to say, or someone

684
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 1: gives about what Tiki Barber has to say. Oh, I

685
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:38,760
Speaker 1: definitely care more what Tiki Barber. Just some background, Tiki

686
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:41,400
Speaker 1: came out and said Tom Coughlin should be fired again.

687
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 1: He came out and said something negative about the Giants

688
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:45,279
Speaker 1: and troll role for the third year in a row.

689
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:48,040
Speaker 1: Connor or Totally this morning has come out and said

690
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:50,239
Speaker 1: the Giant in November has come out and said the

691
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:52,480
Speaker 1: Giants will run the table and make the playoffs. I

692
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 1: go Tiki because he's far removed from his playing career

693
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 1: and is still getting people to ask him questions and

694
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:01,319
Speaker 1: pay him money. There's no proof at all that once

695
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:03,760
Speaker 1: atral role is done with his Giant screw that, anyone's

696
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:06,319
Speaker 1: gonna care what he has to say. What we did

697
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:11,000
Speaker 1: post on both of them today, you did a funny one. Well.

698
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:14,920
Speaker 1: Eli Manning's response was pretty funny to the Tom Coughlin

699
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,160
Speaker 1: bit that Tiki barber said. He said, that's nice of him.

700
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:19,760
Speaker 1: It's always good to hear from old Tiki. That speaks

701
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 1: more operation than to either of those two clowns. Oh

702
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:25,680
Speaker 1: and they have. Then they asked them, you know, if

703
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:28,840
Speaker 1: it's a distraction when a former teammate asked for the

704
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:31,440
Speaker 1: coach to be fired, and Eli responded, I think it

705
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:34,160
Speaker 1: depends on your opinion of that player. Judy Pattista had

706
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:36,560
Speaker 1: a great hammer drop. She said that was a sledge

707
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 1: hammer wrapped in velvet from Eli Manning. Anyway, I think

708
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 1: Andra Roll just by virtue of being on the team

709
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:47,279
Speaker 1: still carries a little more I give a little bit

710
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:50,479
Speaker 1: more of an s uh than that, but we both

711
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:53,400
Speaker 1: are equally annoying ands I'm disturbing. No one else has

712
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:56,759
Speaker 1: followed through him my moratorium, no more Andrell role post

713
00:36:56,960 --> 00:37:01,200
Speaker 1: or Carrie Williams or Bernard Pollard. Connor Or, by the way,

714
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:04,359
Speaker 1: was apprehensive when we were chatting on a hip chat

715
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:07,160
Speaker 1: this morning about whether to do the post, because I

716
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 1: think he knew that this might lead to you being

717
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:11,960
Speaker 1: disappointed in as I like Connor Or, he's doing a

718
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 1: great job. But that's uh, that's strike one. What more

719
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:22,840
Speaker 1: likely Adrian Peterson is a member of the Minnesota Vikings.

720
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 1: Or Taylor Swift is arrested on felony meth possession with

721
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:33,920
Speaker 1: the intent to distribute in two Taylor Smith Swift come West.

722
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 1: You don't even try that, don't less. I know you.

723
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:44,439
Speaker 1: She's aunty country songstress who writes a lot of breakup songs.

724
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:47,960
Speaker 1: There you go, she will definitely break up technically pretty

725
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:51,200
Speaker 1: goods technically. The way the question is worded, I mean

726
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:54,200
Speaker 1: he will be a Minnesota Viking for parts of two

727
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:58,000
Speaker 1: thousand fifteen. He's not off of his suspension until I

728
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:01,759
Speaker 1: think I think he means season, but I I'm just

729
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:06,000
Speaker 1: saying semantics. Yeah, I say more likely Peterson place for

730
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:09,520
Speaker 1: the Vikings. Ian's report last week or last few days

731
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:12,400
Speaker 1: seemed just sound like the Vikings had tested the waters

732
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:14,279
Speaker 1: and feel like their fans won him back. I felt

733
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:16,200
Speaker 1: like that was this year though, while they're just trying

734
00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 1: to win a few games and they don't have to

735
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:20,640
Speaker 1: start out, and they've already paid him his money essentially,

736
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:23,719
Speaker 1: and next series due ten million, and I think he's gone.

737
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:26,480
Speaker 1: I'm going Taylor Swift involved in the drug trap. Ben

738
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 1: Tate's gonna, you know, really light up the league. I

739
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:32,319
Speaker 1: think it's more likely that Taylor Swift does meth does

740
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:35,960
Speaker 1: I would say she probably and I don't want to,

741
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:38,320
Speaker 1: you know, step out of bounce here. She probably already

742
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:41,800
Speaker 1: has sold it. Well, yeah, you usually you do it

743
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 1: for a while before you get caught. I would think

744
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:46,719
Speaker 1: she almost has like a Walter White empire going on,

745
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:50,320
Speaker 1: and it's all funded with her amazing pop career. I

746
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:51,880
Speaker 1: like how you preface that with I don't want to

747
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:54,360
Speaker 1: step out of bound here. Well, I'm not claiming to know,

748
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:59,200
Speaker 1: but but my sense would we have we have your

749
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:05,800
Speaker 1: right day good Zack back in the area, just so

750
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:08,920
Speaker 1: everyone knows we have no we have no proof for

751
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:13,640
Speaker 1: evidence that Taylorswift is involved with drunks at all. Yeah,

752
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:16,080
Speaker 1: it's good to put that disclaimer out there right now.

753
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 1: What more likely the Cults successfully talked themselves into Trent

754
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:25,360
Speaker 1: Richardson as a Super Bowl running back, or the Cardinals

755
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 1: successfully talked themselves into Drew Stanton as a Super Bowl quarterback,

756
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 1: which everyone doesn't involve Trent Richardson doing Well, what do

757
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:35,400
Speaker 1: you mean by talk into like they actually believe it?

758
00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 1: They believe that? Yeah, who believes it more in their

759
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:42,440
Speaker 1: hearts at this point. I don't think the Colts believe

760
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 1: it anymore. How could they believed that? Maybe going into

761
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 1: this offseason, But after seeing this body of work again,

762
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:51,680
Speaker 1: I think that Arians stays and Cardinals they believe it.

763
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 1: Of Bruce. Bruce Arians believes Stanton I think percent does.

764
00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 1: But deep down in the back of that gang, he

765
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 1: knows he's done. He's got too much sway. But that's

766
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:05,520
Speaker 1: how you feel about Carson Palmer too. We've got a

767
00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:08,040
Speaker 1: great We've got a great piece up on the site.

768
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:11,080
Speaker 1: Chris Wesley gave it the highest recommendation possible and it

769
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 1: is really good. Stars Michael Silver's piece on Bruce arians

770
00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:17,880
Speaker 1: nfl dot com slash Cardinal rule. How about you know

771
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:21,000
Speaker 1: we promoted someone else for once at first, in my opinion,

772
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:23,120
Speaker 1: one of the best people writing about football right now

773
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:25,319
Speaker 1: in the game, one of the best in the games.

774
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:30,320
Speaker 1: That's good. I do throw out some compliments other people

775
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:33,800
Speaker 1: as well. Makes us seem humble. We will make you

776
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:37,160
Speaker 1: feel good inside. Calling yourself humble doesn't make you make

777
00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 1: you feel humble. Yeah, and social media Mike has done

778
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:41,719
Speaker 1: at Just ask anyone. I'm the most humble guy in

779
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:47,440
Speaker 1: the in the entire league whatever. I just can't say that.

780
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:58,320
Speaker 1: I'm just alright, alright, alright. We move forward, and that

781
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:01,200
Speaker 1: takes us to Thursday and night football, gentlemen, where we

782
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:04,360
Speaker 1: have an a f C West preview UH showdown between

783
00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:07,920
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs and Oakland Raiders. The Chiefs, winners

784
00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 1: of seven of eight and five straight tied for first

785
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:14,200
Speaker 1: in the division against the Raiders who are oh in

786
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:17,400
Speaker 1: ten UH still looking for that win. Chris Westley, I

787
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:20,440
Speaker 1: ask you the mailman, is there any chance the Raiders

788
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 1: finally getting the win column in prime time. Well, on

789
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:27,480
Speaker 1: one hand, there is trap game potential. The Chiefs are

790
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:29,880
Speaker 1: coming off a home victory over the Super Bowl champions.

791
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:35,560
Speaker 1: They got up for that game next week Sunday Night Football,

792
00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 1: playing for first place against the Denver Broncos, the other

793
00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:40,759
Speaker 1: Super Bowl team, So the Raiders of the game in

794
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:42,719
Speaker 1: the middle. There's some trap game here. But then when

795
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:44,920
Speaker 1: you break this down, all the matchups are in the

796
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:49,279
Speaker 1: Chief's favor every single matchup, especially the Chiefs haven't allowed

797
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:53,040
Speaker 1: a rushing touchdown since last year's playoffs, and the Raiders

798
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:55,919
Speaker 1: are the worst rushing team in the last sixty years.

799
00:41:57,200 --> 00:41:59,640
Speaker 1: How do you mean the worst wreshing team just ailed

800
00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 1: that because year sixty years old, you've seen all the

801
00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:04,880
Speaker 1: teams or sixty three yards per game, which is the

802
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:09,120
Speaker 1: worst in the NFL since the nineteen six Lions. McFadden

803
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:11,560
Speaker 1: and Jones drew or averaging one point eight six yards

804
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:13,440
Speaker 1: per carry the last three games. And I look at

805
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:16,040
Speaker 1: like Derek Carr, who I think got off to a

806
00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:19,360
Speaker 1: real nice start for this team, obviously couldn't be involved

807
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:21,719
Speaker 1: in a more chaotic offense at this point. And here's

808
00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:23,640
Speaker 1: the thing. You give a rookie quarterback who has a

809
00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:27,160
Speaker 1: lot of nice traits, zero running game where he's on

810
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:29,279
Speaker 1: his heels. They get stuck in way too many three

811
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:31,720
Speaker 1: and ounce and you're going up against the best passing

812
00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:34,080
Speaker 1: defense in Kansas City in the league. Right now, I

813
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:37,040
Speaker 1: don't see a way out for Oakland minus some kind

814
00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:40,200
Speaker 1: of crazy turnover action or something that's just hyper unusual.

815
00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:42,640
Speaker 1: The Chiefs are like the like the guy in your

816
00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:45,080
Speaker 1: fantasy league who got off to a slow start, so

817
00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:47,439
Speaker 1: you kind of forgot about him, and you're you're doing

818
00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:50,000
Speaker 1: your thing, and this guy kept chipping away and winning weeks,

819
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:52,160
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, he's bamm. He knocks you

820
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:54,240
Speaker 1: out of the playoffs because you never paid him any attention.

821
00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 1: We're still not paying attention to the Chiefs. They're playing

822
00:42:56,640 --> 00:42:58,480
Speaker 1: just about as good as anybody for two and a

823
00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:01,000
Speaker 1: half months. Now, let's give the Chief's love. But they're

824
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:02,800
Speaker 1: not gonna get any love even after this game, because

825
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:05,920
Speaker 1: they're gonna be expected to beat the Raiders. But eight

826
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:07,279
Speaker 1: out of nine in six in a row. If they

827
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:10,239
Speaker 1: take care of business, well, they win ugly. They don't

828
00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:14,080
Speaker 1: win throwing. But that's why they're not getting attention. I've

829
00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:16,120
Speaker 1: been saying, I love this team because they max out

830
00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:18,240
Speaker 1: on their potential. I mean, things are things are crazy

831
00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:21,400
Speaker 1: right now in Kansas City. Andy Reid is winning with

832
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:24,000
Speaker 1: a running game, which is pretty creative. You know, they're

833
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:26,560
Speaker 1: getting the Anthony Thomas in the mixture. Maal Charles is

834
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:28,160
Speaker 1: back to being one of the two or three best

835
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:31,080
Speaker 1: running backs in the league. The running game, stopping the

836
00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:34,279
Speaker 1: run as you mentioned, and like no passing. And I

837
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:38,160
Speaker 1: knew something was a little crazy this year. When Andy

838
00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:40,719
Speaker 1: Reid made one of the best challenges of the year

839
00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:43,720
Speaker 1: last week, that's when you know the Chiefs are happening

840
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:46,120
Speaker 1: because Andy Reid's the worst that that and he turned

841
00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:48,080
Speaker 1: the whole game around last week against Seattle with that

842
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:50,239
Speaker 1: challenge in the fourth quarter. If coach of the year

843
00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:53,760
Speaker 1: of voters are against middle aged men that wear kangle hats,

844
00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:57,800
Speaker 1: andy Reid could win this thing. He could. Won't. He

845
00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:00,279
Speaker 1: won't because it's just Bruce arians Wards. But would be

846
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:03,320
Speaker 1: my number two yea. But specifically said if the voting

847
00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:09,360
Speaker 1: contingent disliked men that war kangle hats and middle age range,

848
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:12,960
Speaker 1: that's why through read out there, I've been slowed aboard

849
00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:16,080
Speaker 1: this Chief's train. But last week's game convinced me that

850
00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:17,640
Speaker 1: not only are there for real, but I would not

851
00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:19,800
Speaker 1: be surprised if they beat the Broncos for a f

852
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:23,440
Speaker 1: C West, I would not. I think they're better. They

853
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:25,440
Speaker 1: played together as a team than the Broncos. They have

854
00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:27,680
Speaker 1: an identity and I'm gonna sure if the Broncos do.

855
00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:29,520
Speaker 1: Are they the type of team though, if they get

856
00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:31,759
Speaker 1: into the playoffs that we can trust them to rail

857
00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:35,399
Speaker 1: off three wins or are they one and done type

858
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:37,920
Speaker 1: of deal. I just there's something about them feels incomplete.

859
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:40,239
Speaker 1: But they're tough. Their defense is better than I thought

860
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:43,839
Speaker 1: it was, and Sean Smith is having a Pro Bowl year,

861
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:46,840
Speaker 1: Ron Parker is having a breakout. You're at cornerback Justin

862
00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:48,800
Speaker 1: Houston and Tom Bali are back to being one of

863
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:52,320
Speaker 1: the best. Don Terry pose make a Pro Bowler this

864
00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:56,799
Speaker 1: year like guy Josh Mulaga. This list of twelve people,

865
00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:58,760
Speaker 1: so they must be doing pretty well. But their second

866
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:01,960
Speaker 1: only to the Lions and in points per game, I think,

867
00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:05,000
Speaker 1: and they have the first pass number one pass defense

868
00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:07,399
Speaker 1: and having allowed a rushing TV all year, that's pretty good.

869
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:10,000
Speaker 1: They're a team though that I think they're good enough

870
00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:11,880
Speaker 1: to be in any game and They're bad enough to

871
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:13,719
Speaker 1: keep bad teams in any game, so I think this

872
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:15,160
Speaker 1: could be close. You know what I mean. They play

873
00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:17,279
Speaker 1: that style alright, So the three of us took the

874
00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:20,600
Speaker 1: chief Sessler took the Raiders did not. That is not accurate,

875
00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:23,760
Speaker 1: but I would never do that. Yeah, across the board, Chiefe.

876
00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:26,120
Speaker 1: Let's see if the Raiders can shock the world. And

877
00:45:26,200 --> 00:45:27,800
Speaker 1: that does it for another episode of the Around the
