1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.

2
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:07,600
Speaker 2: Let me just say this first and foremost, to many

3
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 2: of you who spent today watching football. I know exactly

4
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:16,840
Speaker 2: what you were doing today. You probably stopped rooting for

5
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:20,319
Speaker 2: your real team for just one week so that you

6
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:23,959
Speaker 2: can root for your fake team. I hope each and

7
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:28,159
Speaker 2: every one of you got whatever you needed today to

8
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 2: make your fantasy football playoffs. And if that answer is

9
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 2: not here yet, because there's two more games to go,

10
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 2: good luck to you, my brothers and sisters, because that

11
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 2: is what this is really all about. Hi you from Salam.

12
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 3: How you doing.

13
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 2: I'm good man, I'm good. I'm good. I actually had

14
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:56,279
Speaker 2: the laziest football Sunday I've had all year for multiple reasons.

15
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 2: I'm a fantasy nerd. Just like the rest four leagues.

16
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 2: I was eliminated in two, had already clinched in the

17
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:09,039
Speaker 2: other two. So and then my real team was up

18
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 2: twenty four to nothing at halftime. I actually spoke to

19
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 2: my relatives and loved ones today. It's amazing.

20
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:16,479
Speaker 4: That's a beautiful thing.

21
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:18,119
Speaker 3: How about that?

22
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:18,679

28
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,759
Speaker 2: have any relationships that are going on.

29
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 3: Two years and three years, and four years, and.

30
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 2: Five years and six years and all of that and

31
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 2: twenty one twenty one years, my man, right, and sure

32
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 2: there are going to be moments and things about which

33
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 2: you're not on the same page.

34
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 3: That's life, that's relationships.

35
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 2: But if you've kind of always not been on the

36
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 2: same page, like seemingly the entire time, I would argue

37
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 2: that when the calendar starts turning two different months in

38
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 2: different years, I don't know, maybe there's a bigger problem

39
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 2: at hand.

40
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 3: So when I hear that the.

41
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 2: Eagles passing game as talented as it is, Jalen Hurts

42
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 2: to aj Brown, to DeVante Smith, to a team that

43
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 2: outside of like the last month and a half of

44
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 2: last year, for the last three years, this has been a.

45
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 3: Phenomenal football team.

46
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:39,079
Speaker 2: But they win a football game today over the Carolina Panthers.

47
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 2: Thank you Xavier Leguette for dropping that ball. If you're

48
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,920
Speaker 2: a Philly fan or else, the Panthers would have had

49
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 2: him today. But outside of that, you still won your

50
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 2: game today. But they come away really frustrated. And I'm

51
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 2: at a point now where I like, I guess if

52
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 2: for my needs your help, I need to know what's

53
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 2: going on with Jalen Hurts.

54
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 3: The art of the year with a lot of chatter.

55
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 2: And disrespect from the Philly fan base, win almost all

56
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 2: of your games and that stuff will quiet down. But

57
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 2: it still also seems like, I don't know, they don't

58
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 2: they still don't like what they have and maybe they

59
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 2: don't believe that it actually has They don't have what

60
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,920
Speaker 2: they need to actually do something in January. What do

61
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,799
Speaker 2: you see with that particular group in that quarterback?

62
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 5: I mean, is there is there some questions about Jalen Hurts,

63
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 5: if he's the are people questioning if he's the guy

64
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 5: the well?

65
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 2: I would say that at the beginning of the year, absolutely,

66
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 2: And if you want to go from the what's written

67
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 2: in the papers to what's said on TV and radio

68
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 2: to what fans are calling in to radio stations and

69
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 2: talking about, Yes, there was a lot of uneasiness surrounding

70
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts. Then they started winning almost all of their games,

71
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 2: and that kind of takes care of that. But you

72
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 2: go into a locker room today after a six point

73
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 2: win over the Panthers and the headline from Tim McManus,

74
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 2: who's covered Philly sports forever for ESPN. The headline is

75
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 2: Eagles not on the same page as passing attack struggles

76
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 2: and his first word of the article is the word frustration.

77
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 2: That's after their what have they won nine games in

78
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 2: a row or something like that.

79
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, So what I know to be true and what

80
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 4: I believe.

81
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:56,160
Speaker 5: As the Eagles sit here, I can almost promise you

82
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 5: that at twelve and two, they're not listening to that.

83
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 5: And number one, it's hard to be twelve and two

84
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 5: in this league, and they consistently, you know, win double

85
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 5: digit games. Now, the thing that's different this year than

86
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 5: it was last year and the year before for the

87
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 5: Eagles is they now have the league's best Russian attack

88
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 5: in terms of they have Saquon Barkley and he is

89
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 5: featured heavily as he should be. If you have a

90
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 5: Saquon Barkley on your team, then you're passing quarterback should

91
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 5: take a step back because essentially it's not about him.

92
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 5: It's not about him and It's not about his numbers.

93
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:02,600
Speaker 5: It's really about the best way to win a ball game. Now,

94
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 5: you're not going to be your best every week. You're

95
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 5: not going to come out and blow everyone out. The

96
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 5: NFL and pro sports have taught us that you're not

97
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 5: gonna come out and throw for four hundred yards and

98
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 5: so on and so forth weekend and week out. But

99
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,039
Speaker 5: what you know you can do is you can hand

100
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 5: the ball off twenty times to a guy and he

101
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 5: gets you one hundred and twenty four yards.

102
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 4: Like to me, I.

103
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 5: Feel Jalen Hurts passed the ball twenty one times. They

104
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 5: ran the ball thirty one times as a team, including

105
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 5: eight from him at seven point four yards to carry.

106
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 5: They they carried the ball almost seven yards to carry.

107
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 5: Why on earth would you want to disrupt that and

108
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:56,600
Speaker 5: make Jalen Hurts the guy We need to pass the ball. No,

109
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 5: you need to win the games.

110
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 3: Well, did you see the mess from the locker room?

111
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 3: My friend?

112
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 2: Like, this isn't This is not a reporter that just

113
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 2: went rogue. This is not somebody looking for clicks. Uh

114
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 2: Aj Brown and I quote when asked what does the

115
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 2: offense need to do better? Quote passing how hard hold on.

116
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 2: I asked, how hard is it for a receiver to

117
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 2: get into a rhythm when the offense doesn't throw the

118
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 2: ball that much? Quote incredibly tough. Uh. DeVante Smith asked,

119
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 2: how you're feeling about the offense.

120
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 3: Well, we need to be quote on the same page.

121
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 2: We need to start thinking the same seeing the right signals,

122
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 2: just going out there and making it work. Jalen Hurts

123
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 2: and I quote, the Panthers did a good job. We

124
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 2: did a bad job. That starts with me and how

125
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 2: I execute. Ultimately, you year learn and I yearn for

126
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 2: a better synchronization, for a more complimentary style of ball

127
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 2: in a sense from this isn't coming from anybody but them.

128
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, because that's how the questions are poet pollsed right now.

129
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 5: If you're going to go to a receiver and ask

130
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 5: them what's going on, what's up with the offense, and

131
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 5: they haven't gotten the targets that they would normally. What

132
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 5: we do know about receivers is they're very one sided

133
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 5: in terms of their view of everything. Fair enough, right,

134
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 5: you win a ballgame, you catch four passes, you you're

135
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 5: definitely going at twelve and two, eleven and two. Excuse me,

136
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 5: You win a ballgame in December and you catch four

137
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 5: passes and your first thing was we need to pass

138
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 5: the ball more.

139
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 4: So to me?

140
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 5: To me, right, that's the problem because how I would

141
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,680
Speaker 5: have answered the question was, hey man, sometimes you gotta

142
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 5: win the way you gotta win. Today it was our

143
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 5: running game. But I have every faith that our passing

144
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 5: game will be there when we need it.

145
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,679
Speaker 4: That's what I'm saying. That's how you answer that.

146
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 3: Question, right, because if you.

147
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 5: Answer it like that, we don't have to spend the

148
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 5: first segment of this show trying to decipher all is

149
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 5: in trouble in Philadelphia, what's going on in that locker,

150
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 5: and what's going on with the passing game, what's going on?

151
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 5: Because you're not going to win like that every time.

152
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 5: There will be times where you catch eight for one

153
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 5: p twenty and two touchdowns.

154
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, but as of right.

155
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,839
Speaker 5: Now, you have a guy on your team named, say

156
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 5: Kwan Barkley who's leading the league in rushing.

157
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 4: A lot.

158
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 5: That's every time he touches the ball at six yards,

159
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 5: it's six yards. So the focal point shouldn't be this

160
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 5: man has sixteen hundred yards already sixteen hundred yards, so

161
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 5: the focal point shouldn't be on Jalen Hurts and that

162
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 5: passing game.

163
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you know what, like you're saying, spoken like

164
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 2: a true wide receiver, and I think it'd be fair

165
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 2: for me to say spoken like a true offensive lineman.

166
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, but this I'm you know what off lineman

167
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 5: want to do? You know what I'm want to Limon

168
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 5: want to do. They want to win a game. Whether

169
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 5: you pass the ball forty times or you run the

170
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:48,079
Speaker 5: ball forty times. Our singular focus, right, we don't care

171
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 5: because a job has to be done. That's why they're

172
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 5: the unsung heroes of every single championship team because we

173
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,680
Speaker 5: don't care. It's not about passing scene and is not

174
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 5: about running. It's about how it works.

175
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 2: You know that. I agree with you. However, I also

176
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 2: do understand the thought process that a young Carolina Panthers

177
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 2: receiver dropped a football on our home field.

178
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 3: It's the only reason we won today.

179
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts hasn't thrown for over two hundred yards in

180
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 2: a month, and.

181
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 5: They've won all the games. They've won all the games.

182
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 5: They won all the games.

183
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 2: But in January, we are probably going to need to

184
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 2: go to Detroit and do we think that we can

185
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 2: do this. There I'll answer for you no, I don't

186
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 2: I and you'll disagree, and you might be right.

187
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 4: I'm not.

188
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 5: Look, I'm not going to disagree. What I'll say is

189
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,440
Speaker 5: Detroit is going to have a hell of a time

190
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 5: trying to stop say Kuon Barkley. Sure, they're going to.

191
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 5: So what it's going to make them. It's going to

192
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 5: force them to do some things that they wouldn't normally

193
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,079
Speaker 5: want to do. They're not going to be able to

194
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 5: keep seven in the box and stop say Kuon Barkley.

195
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 5: So that means, oh, you have to bring a safety down.

196
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 5: You have to bring a safety down.

197
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,319
Speaker 2: And when you do that, we'll see.

198
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 4: But that's what I'm saying. So, but.

199
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 5: AJ Brown wants his numbers, he wants his stats, he

200
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 5: wants to touch.

201
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 3: AJ Brown threw a helmet today.

202
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 5: Of course what receivers or receivers. Sure, that's just what happens.

203
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, it's not like their opinion is completely

204
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 2: out the windows.

205
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:44,960
Speaker 4: No, no, no, no, Look, I get it.

206
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 5: Everybody wants to feel like they're part of the reason

207
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 5: the team is winning. Everybody wants to be uh, you know,

208
00:12:55,640 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 5: called on. And let me show you what I can do.

209
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 4: We get it.

210
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 5: But the moment they signed Saquon Barkley, the whole entire

211
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 5: offense change. That's what New York couldn't figure out. New

212
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 5: York couldn't figure out, Oh, we have what we need

213
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 5: in the locker room. With Saquon Barkley one year removed,

214
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 5: he's leading the league. Mind you you are asking me

215
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 5: win will the receiver bubble burst? And what's going on

216
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 5: with the running backs we keep? You can see the shift, right, sure,

217
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 5: you can see the shift. Absolutely every single running back

218
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 5: that a team devalued last year is having a phenomenal

219
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 5: year for another team. Yep, yep, for an entirely another team. Yep,

220
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 5: Barkley mix in. You're right, every single one of them,

221
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 5: and they just happened to be on teams that are

222
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 5: vying for playoff spots our division titles.

223
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 2: Yes.

224
00:13:58,200 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 5: So when you want to ask me about the Pin

225
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 5: Gillum swinging back, where all those high price receivers? Now right,

226
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 5: we're where how's Brandon Nyuk's teams doing? How is chases

227
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 5: team ceedee Lamb's team doing? This is the this is

228
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 5: how it swings back. Because what teams are finding out

229
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 5: is if you can control the ball and take the

230
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 5: pressure off your young or old quarterback. You have a

231
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 5: better opportunity to win ball games and compete for a

232
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 5: division title.

233
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 4: And you must do that not with a group of

234
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 4: running backs, but with a stud.

235
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 5: And all those guys you name are studs, and they

236
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 5: were on other teams last year.

237
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 4: How are those teams doing right now?

238
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 2: That's an interesting point. There's no two ways about that.

239
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 2: All right. We will continue this coming up next. We'll

240
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 2: also get you ready for a pretty fancy Sunday night

241
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 2: football game that's about to start later on this hour.

242
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 2: We answer the question, if you're Sam Donald, how are

243
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 2: you handling this offseason? If you're the Vikings, how are

Speaker 2: just I just listen, hold on.

259
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 5: So I'm Muslim, So I didn't grow up with Christmas,

260
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 5: all right? The reason fairy, right, the reason we celebrated

261
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 5: now we celebrate in my household, Chris Mahanna Kwantica, we

262
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 5: celebrate Christmas, Quita and Hanukkah because we want our kids

263
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 5: to understand and be accepting of all cultures and beliefs.

264
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 5: We're raising good people, good human beings. There is no

265
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 5: prejudice there. So in our household, we don't just celebrate Christmas.

266
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 5: We celebrate Chris Mahana Kwantica.

267
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 2: How long did you have to work to figure out

268
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 2: how you were going to combine the three words? Not

269
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 2: very long, okay, because that could have gone I'm thinking

270
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 2: about a hundred different ways.

271
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:07,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, it could have right, Yeah.

272
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 2: You could have just gone with like Quantamous. You could

273
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 2: have done this a lot more efficient. Quantamous could have

274
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 2: done that. You didn't do it trying to find out

275
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 2: how it works, Christ.

276
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:24,440
Speaker 3: Like you, like Muhammad a hummada hummada or whatever you said.

277
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 3: You know, Christmas it I just wanted.

278
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,919
Speaker 5: We have our Kwanza set up. We have we have

279
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 5: our Monora set up. Yeah, and we learned every year,

280
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 5: we learned about all of the cultures. That's man, that's

281
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 5: how that when when you're when I love our kids

282
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:46,360
Speaker 5: are adults and their parents and all of that. Their

283
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,879
Speaker 5: view of the world will be a little bit more enlightened,

284
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 5: uh than that of the previous generation and our generation.

285
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:57,400
Speaker 4: And that's the whole problem.

286
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:00,119
Speaker 2: I love that. I love that. Do you do you

287
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,280

315
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 5: We get the boys, we go pick the tree. We

316
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 5: named the trees and then uh, you know the one

317
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 5: I picked and name came home with us this year.

Speaker 4: This do dug the tree and look and to be transparent.

324
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:03,639
Speaker 5: This was that enlightened me because when my wife and

325
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:07,120
Speaker 5: I first got together, me being Muslim, and she was like, hey,

326
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:08,680
Speaker 5: I want a Christmas tree. Ain't a getting no damn

327
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 5: Christmas tree, right, I'm all militant. And then the reality

328
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 5: of it is like, what get out of here, man,

329
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 5: It's not about that. My wife wanted to celebrate and

330
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 5: feel the Christmas spirit because in her household, it just

331
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 5: reminds her of the family, the family getting to things

332
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:37,120
Speaker 5: of that sort. And so I'm enlightened and I've evolved,

333
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 5: and I enjoy it. I enjoy spending time with my

334
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 5: family doing things that make them happy.

335
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 2: That's the difference, well said. And as long as you're

336
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:54,159
Speaker 2: teaching the lesson of making it about family, man, Like

337
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,919
Speaker 2: that's and I get it is at a certain age,

338
00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 2: you're not like if you're eight years old, you're not

339
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 2: going to be like so really looking to spend a

340
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 2: time with my uncle, Like no, you want the puppies

341
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:09,360
Speaker 2: jumping out of Christmas boxes and wrapping paper all over

342
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 2: the place. And I get it. I understand that, but

343
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 2: I mean it sounds to me and I already knew

344
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 2: this about you. You're putting in the work to teach

345
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 2: all the lessons.

346
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:18,200
Speaker 4: Well, I'm trying, man.

347
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 5: You know, there was some shortcoming in some lessons I

348
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 5: didn't get as in my rearing. Oh, I'm trying to

349
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:32,160
Speaker 5: eradicate a lot of that and focus on them being happy,

350
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:37,159
Speaker 5: them being fulfilled, in them being well rounded, similar to

351
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 5: like their uncle. And when I mean their uncle, I

352
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 5: mean the guy that I know that I can call

353
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 5: on at any moment, a guy with a silky, sultry

354
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 5: voice that we all get enthralled with. And that is

355
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 5: one Stephen, uncle disaver.

356
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 6: I wish I had come up with Doug the tree

357
00:21:59,320 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 6: I must know.

358
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 2: And Steven, I'm bummed that Ephraim took the ball over

359
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:06,439
Speaker 2: the goal line there. It's fine, but I was going

360
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:08,440
Speaker 2: to be like, you want to know what I named my.

361
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 4: Tree, Steve.

362
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 2: That was gonna be my lead in and.

363
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 3: Now it's ruined.

364
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 4: I'm devastated, Uncle Steve.

365
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,159
Speaker 6: Clearly it is Douglas.

366
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:20,680
Speaker 3: Douglass.

367
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 6: See we go any further here, We've got an early

368
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,160

373
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 6: Chargers without young wide receiver Lad McConkie, who has almost

374
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 6: sixty receptions this year. He is by far their number

375
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:50,920
Speaker 6: one receiver over eight hundred yards receiving, which is more

376
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 6: than double anybody else on the Chargers that Justin Herbert

377
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:57,760

Speaker 2: In the NBA.

412

Speaker 6: Last night, Nikola Jokic scored fifty six points for Denver

413
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,680

418
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:09,640
Speaker 6: ends the Hawks six game winning streak. And we must

419
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 6: talk college football. To close, SMU and Clemson made the

420
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 6: College Football Playoff. It is a twelve team playoff field

421

423
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 6: to Oklahoma. SMU will open its postseason at Penn State. Yes,

424
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 6: there are first round home games campus sites. Clemson will

425
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:37,679
Speaker 6: open at Texas on Saturday, the twenty first. Texas by

426
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:40,960
Speaker 6: the way. Eleven and two both losses to Georgia, including yesterday.

427
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:44,440
Speaker 6: Number one Oregon is off until it's Rose Bowl quarterfinal.

428
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 6: Number two Georgia is off until it's Sugar Bowl quarterfinal.

429
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:48,680
Speaker 6: New Year's Night.

430
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:52,640
Speaker 2: Back to you, okay, I tell you what, this might

431
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 2: be an even bigger version of what we talk about

432
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 2: in the NFL when teams have the buy and there's

433
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 2: the whole rest versus rust thing. It's gonna be pretty

434
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 2: interesting for these top four man because they're getting put

435
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:10,400
Speaker 2: on the shelf for a while. They again put on

436
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:13,640
Speaker 2: the shelf for a while before they're gonna go play

437
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:17,640
Speaker 2: these games. So that's gonna be real interesting. But I'm

438
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 2: thankful for this, man. I like, it's still not perfect,

439
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 2: and I have taken many a shot at college football

440
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:29,400
Speaker 2: through the years, not because of the colors and the

441
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:32,440
Speaker 2: band and the players and the all of the fun stuff,

442
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,119
Speaker 2: but what I've hated is that at the end of

443
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:39,879
Speaker 2: the year we would get to December and people in

444
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 2: suits would sit there, look at each other and decide

445
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 2: who got to play for a title. And I just

446
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 2: think that that's the stupidest thing I've ever seen in

447
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:50,920
Speaker 2: any sport anywhere ever. And so we're moving further away

448
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:54,119
Speaker 2: from that with this new current format, and for that

449
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 2: I'm thankful.

450
00:26:56,640 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's look, I didn't think it should have be.

451
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:06,879
Speaker 5: It should have been expanded to twelve teams because of

452
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 5: the long layoffs and a lot more football to be played,

453
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 5: but I will say I was thoroughly and and I

454
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 5: was enjoying the season, not.

455
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 4: Just watching uh teams, good teams, you.

456
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 5: Know, rebound from tough losses or early losses and coming back.

457
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:29,880
Speaker 4: Uh you know you look at you know, notre Dame.

458
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:40,360
Speaker 5: Right, they lose to what was it, I uh, Northern Illinois,

459
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:41,920
Speaker 5: Northern Illinois, I.

460
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 4: Think, or something like that.

461
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:48,360
Speaker 5: And and if this was a normal four team that

462
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 5: there's no there, They're done.

463
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, right, there's no shot. Yes it was Northern Illinois.

464
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, Northern Illinois, right, like, so it'd be no shot.

465
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 5: But they buckled down and went on and continue to

466
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:03,360
Speaker 5: win in one out. And so I myself, I am

467
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 5: excited about this twelve team playoff. I don't necessarily like

468
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 5: the layoff, the long layoffs like that, but every new

469
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 5: thing takes time to get.

470
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:16,679
Speaker 4: Used to it.

471
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:19,119
Speaker 5: It was exciting coming down the stretch watching all of

472
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 5: the conference championships yesterday, all of the rivalry week games

473
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 5: last week, everything meaning something. So I was excited about it. Man,

474
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 5: I think this is going to be I think this

475
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 5: is going to be a good year for college football.

476
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 5: And look, Boise States in there. They gotta buy they're

477
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 5: dangerous because they can run the ball on any one.

478
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 5: And so I think it just adds new blood, new

479
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 5: teams to the equation.

480
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 2: Well, and I think that the other thing that's going

481
00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 2: to be really great that we've never seen in college

482
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:06,720
Speaker 2: football before in history, which is playoff games with implications

483
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 2: on the national title that are being played at home.

484
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 3: Oh, that's going to be That's fantastic.

485
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 2: That's fantastic because one of the one of the evil

486
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 2: secrets of college football, especially with the Whatever's happening on

487
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 2: December eighteenth, is it's a bowl game where somebody who's

488
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 2: in Virginia ends up in San Diego, Hawaii, and there's

489
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 2: twelve people there because they're like, we don't even know,

490
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 2: we don't even know who this is.

491
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 3: You know, people are who's coming to the Holiday Ball

492
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:40,959
Speaker 3: this year? Oh, I mean, you give no clue what

493
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 3: the hell's going on.

494
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 2: And now that they've stripped away the traditional conference stuff

495
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 2: for years, it's like who ended up in the Rose Bowl?

496
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 2: We don't People locally have no clue what's going on.

497
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 2: So the fact that now you mentioned Notre Dame, like

498
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 2: where does Indiana go? They go to South Bend yeah,

499
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 2: let's that to me, that's special.

500
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:04,720
Speaker 5: I love that. You know what, Look, i'm a I'm

501
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 5: a fan of Indiana this year.

502
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 3: That's gonna say that.

503
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 4: Boy, that coach, I love that coach.

504
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 5: Now, that's he got a little Dan Campbell in them, right,

505
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:16,320

00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 4: Walked off? I said, oh lord, I like that.

510
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, haven't been I've been a ranked team all year.

511
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:32,479
Speaker 5: That's all right, that's all right. They played hard, they

512
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 5: played good football. Man, they lost one game, they played

513
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 5: good football. And so like you know, when you get

514
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 5: to the playoffs, man, it's one and done. Anything happened, anything, anything, anything, anything,

515
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 5: but I.

516
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 2: But I love. I love that teams have earned, you know.

517
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:49,960
Speaker 2: I I love that they've earned that their home fans

518
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 2: get to watch this and to deal with that, you know,

519
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 2: and and that these games are going to be absolutely

520
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:58,479
Speaker 2: sold out and freaking out and all of that good stuff.

521
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 2: Like that's I so, you know, kudos for the bumpiest

522
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 2: road ever to get to where we are today. And

523
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 2: I'm still not saying it's perfect, but it's a hell

524
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:08,840
Speaker 2: of a lot better if you ask.

525
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 4: Me, it's exciting.

526
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah.

527
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 5: What wasn't exciting was whole hum same four teams or

528
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 5: a team being left out, an undefeated team being left

529
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:22,360
Speaker 5: out like that wasn't exciting to me.

530
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 2: No, and you also you the games that mattered. When

531
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 2: you got to today December eighth ish or December seventh,

532
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:34,080

Speaker 4: Like what yeah, exactly right?

535
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 2: A mom like, holy crap.

536
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 5: Right, And I watched the Cheeto's bowls watched it right,

537
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:50,320

538
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:54,840
Speaker 2: So we got in twelve days, Indiana and Notre Dame,

543
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 2: I want to ask you if there is a more

544
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 2: popular coach anywhere, anywhere, in maybe even in any sport

545
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:22,960

546
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 3: Than Dan Campbell.

547
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 2: But we also need to talk about the way he

548
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:28,680
Speaker 2: goes about his business. That is all coming up next

549
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 2: with me from Salam Mark Willard, Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 2: Felice, Chris Mahana, Kwanziko. Did I say it right? I

555
00:32:57,040 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 2: don't think I did. But anyway, Tyre Comm Studios keep trying,

556

Speaker 2: can do in life. What do you think of the

558
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 2: latest Dan Campbell fourth down escapades that we saw on

559
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 2: Thursday night?

560
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 5: Hey man, what I do know is he hasn't learned,

561
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 5: and that's dangerous. I don't trust him. Yeah, I don't

562
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:32,720
Speaker 5: trust him.

563
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:34,640
Speaker 4: I wonder that was ridiculous.

564
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 3: Well, I wondered right away.

565
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 2: I'm like, you know, I guess the question that that

566
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 2: keeps ringing in my head on this stuff. And I

567
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 2: don't want to assume that everybody knows what happened, but Dan, Dan,

568
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 2: just when it's fourth down, Dan goes for it. And

569
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:53,720
Speaker 2: and the latest kind of high profile one was this

570
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 2: the Lions and Packers are tied, the clock is running down.

571
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 2: I don't remember exactly how many seconds, but I felt

572
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:04,960
Speaker 2: like it was in the neighborhood of forty three. Forty

573
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 2: three seconds to go. You're in very makeable field goal range,

574
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:12,520
Speaker 2: and it's fourth and one, and every human who's ever

575
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 2: walked the face of the planet and coach the football

576
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:18,360
Speaker 2: game would kick the three, go up by three and

577
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 2: leave the Packers thirty eight seconds and no timeouts to

578
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:26,799
Speaker 2: deal with whatever comes. The way Dan thinks is why

579
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 2: do I need to give them those thirty eight seconds?

580
00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:30,719
Speaker 2: We're going for it.

581
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:32,319
Speaker 3: He gets it.

582
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:35,840
Speaker 2: He takes the clock down to two seconds, kicks the

583
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:36,399
Speaker 2: field goal.

584
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:37,600
Speaker 3: There it's a walk off.

585
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:40,920
Speaker 2: And the question that I think sits there for people

586
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 2: is is it a fair defense to say aphrom it worked?

587
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 3: Why not?

588
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:50,719
Speaker 5: Because when it matters and it doesn't work, you'd get

589
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:54,560
Speaker 5: what you got last year. So you get an opportunity

590
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 5: to go to the super Bowl for the first time

591
00:34:56,840 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 5: in ever, in ever, and you don't make the right choice.

592
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:06,359
Speaker 5: So when you do it in the regular season when

593
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 5: it really doesn't matter, you set a precedent for bad behavior.

594
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 5: Because when it works, you have the press conference you

595
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 5: have after the NFC Championship by saying this is how

596
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 5: we got here and in all reality, if he takes

597
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 5: those six points in that game against the San Francisco

598
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:33,440
Speaker 5: forty nine ers, he goes to the super Bowl.

599
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 3: Here, he goes to the super Bowl.

600
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:40,040
Speaker 5: And so to reinforce bad behavior, you have a child

601
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 5: or a toddler at home and they just nope, I'm

602
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:48,000
Speaker 5: just gonna do it my way. Right, I'm do it

603
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:50,759
Speaker 5: my way. Don't need to cook it. Let me eat

604
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:52,359
Speaker 5: the cookie. Don't need to cook let me eat the cookie.

605
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:55,359
Speaker 5: Don't need to cooking, Let me eat the cookie. So

606
00:35:55,440 --> 00:36:02,239
Speaker 5: what's to stop the behavior? And the part that really

607
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 5: upset me now, I'm not even talking about that one,

608
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:11,719
Speaker 5: The one that really I was alarmed by was the

609
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:18,319
Speaker 5: one on the thirty yard line in their own territory

610
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:24,000
Speaker 5: and he goes for it and immediately gives seven points

611
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:33,400
Speaker 5: to Green Bay immediately, Like that is crazy to me.

612
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 5: That'll get you beat. You go for it on the

613
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:49,759
Speaker 5: thirty yard line in your own territory, and I mean,

614
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:53,759
Speaker 5: you don't get it two plays, three plays later, touchdown

615
00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 5: in a tight football game.

616
00:36:56,640 --> 00:37:00,479
Speaker 4: How make it make sense? Makes sense?

617
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:02,840
Speaker 2: Let me read this to you, and I know, I

618
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 2: think I know what you're gonna say. I'm not saying

619
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:07,440
Speaker 2: this is right, But I thought that this is the

620
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:10,760
Speaker 2: best anyone has done that I've seen in at least

621
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:15,520
Speaker 2: trying to explain where it comes from. And Dan has

622
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:18,920
Speaker 2: explained it. But you know, it's our it's our world

623
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:25,120
Speaker 2: to sort of like, okss analyze Lindsey Rhodes, who has

624
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 2: done a lot of things covering the NFL for years,

625
00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 2: currently with NFL Network or not currently if he used

626
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:36,360
Speaker 2: to be NFL Network DirecTV now Sports Illustrated. This is

627
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:38,759
Speaker 2: what she wrote in the wake of Thursday Night's win.

628
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 2: She wrote, understand this about Dan Campbell on fourth down.

629
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 2: His approach on those downs is emblematic of the reason

630
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:48,840
Speaker 2: they are where they are. He has trained his team

631
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:53,319
Speaker 2: to consistently take the fight to the opponent. It is

632
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:57,640
Speaker 2: part of their identity. It's how they've outscored their opponents

633
00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:00,400
Speaker 2: by one hundred and eighty one points this year. We

634
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:03,799
Speaker 2: don't get to enjoy the spoils and then question the

635
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 2: process buy or sell.

636
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:11,920
Speaker 4: So why so I'm not buying that? Why because we

637
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:13,319
Speaker 4: saw what the outcome is.

638
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's not like I'm making something up. It's not

639
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:22,400
Speaker 5: like I'm like, you know, possibly, No, we have tangible proof.

640
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:27,040
Speaker 2: Although okay, Devil's advocate. That was one game. I know

641
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:29,759
Speaker 2: it was their biggest game one guess what.

642
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 5: So before you even start yeah, when you say that

643
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 5: was one game and you're talking about the playoffs, you

644
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 5: don't even need to say anything else.

645
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 3: That's fair.

646
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:43,480
Speaker 5: Not only that was it one game, it was the

647
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 5: NFC Championship game at home, which you completely had control of.

648
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:52,040
Speaker 3: I tend to agree with you, here's my thought on it.

649
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:57,240
Speaker 2: I don't like anything that has blanket rules and doesn't

650
00:38:57,320 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 2: allow for context period. I don't care if it's fourth

651
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 2: down or the way you parent your children. I just

652
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:10,480
Speaker 2: don't think there's one answer that's the same every single time.

653
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:13,640
Speaker 2: And it seems with the Lions it's the same answer

654
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:16,920
Speaker 2: every single time. It's going to fourth down, We're going

655
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 2: for it.

656
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:18,319
Speaker 4: Don't get you beat more time?

657
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 2: Right, Even if it's not like My thought on that

658
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:27,759
Speaker 2: one was, Dan, what'd you get? What did you get

659
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:30,719
Speaker 2: out of going forth on fourth down? Sure, you never

660
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 2: gave the Packers the ball in a situation where they

661
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:35,960
Speaker 2: were very likely not going to be able to do

662
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:40,440
Speaker 2: anything anyway, very good, So the risk reward to me

663
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:44,800
Speaker 2: was out of whack there, complete but it worked. Jared

664
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:49,239
Speaker 2: goff fell down, but it worked.

665
00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:53,200
Speaker 4: Today today, not today but Thursday.

666
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:57,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, all right, nowhere near done yet. We're cooking

667
00:39:57,400 --> 00:40:00,239
Speaker 2: on a Sunday night. Let's talk about Sam Darmo than

668
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:06,840
Speaker 2: his five TD throws coming up. Just getting started in

669
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:09,799

673
00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:25,440
Speaker 2: The way tire buying should be. The Eagles win again,

674
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:30,040
Speaker 2: but it's not without a bumpy road. Kyle Shanahan addresses

675
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:31,600
Speaker 2: his future with the forty nine ers.

676
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:32,359
Speaker 3: We'll get to that.

677
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:35,759
Speaker 2: There's more to say on the Dan Campbell conversation because

678
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:38,960
Speaker 2: it trickles to the rest of the NFC North, which

679
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:42,600
Speaker 2: is all amazing. And that brings us to Sam Darnald

680
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:46,279
Speaker 2: e from what do you do here? And when I

681
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:50,840
Speaker 2: say what you do, we can sub in two different

682
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 2: people for you. One of them is the collective of

683
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:56,320
Speaker 2: the Minnesota Vikings and the other one is Sam Darnald.

684
00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:59,000
Speaker 2: And I know what the stock answer is going to be,

685
00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:02,000
Speaker 2: which is, let's wait and see how this whole thing

686
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:06,160
Speaker 2: plays out. Do they win in January? Do they not?

687
00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:08,120
Speaker 3: That's going to have a lot to say.

688
00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:13,840
Speaker 2: But the Minnesota Vikings are eleven and two. Sam Darnald

689
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:18,960
Speaker 2: today had five more touchdown passes.

690
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:21,440
Speaker 3: And was very very good with the ball as well.

691
00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:24,960
Speaker 2: So Donald is now up to I think twenty eight

692
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:28,840
Speaker 2: touchdown passes against ten picks. He is leading a team

693
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:33,799
Speaker 2: that is eleven and two. They are a contender. Meantime,

694
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 2: Daniel Jones is hanging out on the practice squad and

695
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:40,319
Speaker 2: JJ McCarthy is over there making first round money and

696
00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:45,719
Speaker 2: getting healthier every day. So start with the Vikings. What

697
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:49,240
Speaker 2: do you do next year? Especially if January goes well?

698
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:56,040
Speaker 5: What you have your quarterback of the future in Jj,

699
00:41:56,760 --> 00:42:00,600
Speaker 5: but there's no rush to put him in. You know what,

700
00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:02,560
Speaker 5: did Sam Donald sign up? One year deal?

701
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:04,960
Speaker 2: One year deal? Right?

702
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:07,960
Speaker 5: So if i'm Sam, are you asking me what the

703
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:10,480
Speaker 5: Minnesota Vikings are going to do? Or what is Sam

704
00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:10,880
Speaker 5: gonna do?

705
00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:12,400
Speaker 3: I'm gonna ask you both.

706
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:15,439
Speaker 2: But I'm starting with the Vikings, okay, because right now

707
00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:19,400
Speaker 2: Sam Donald signed a one year, ten million dollar contract,

708
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:23,560
Speaker 2: and with the look of the draft, I know there

709
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:27,399
Speaker 2: should door and whatnot, But like if you've got one

710
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:30,480
Speaker 2: of those sort of ready made situations where you want

711
00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:33,920
Speaker 2: to just inject a quarterback and see if you can play.

712
00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:39,960
Speaker 2: Sam's your guy next year, and that's going to command

713
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:42,800
Speaker 2: a price, a real price.

714
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:43,680
Speaker 4: I agree.

715
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:47,080
Speaker 5: I think Sam Donald at the low end, has made

716
00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:50,520
Speaker 5: himself a bunch of money in the league. He's shown

717
00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:52,960
Speaker 5: that he can be a starter at a high level

718
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:57,000
Speaker 5: in this league. And so, you know, I am interested

719
00:42:57,040 --> 00:43:01,319
Speaker 5: to see how this thing plays out, because if they

720
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:03,799
Speaker 5: do make a deep playoff run, if they're somehow end

721
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:06,719
Speaker 5: up getting home court advantage in the in the playoffs, like,

722
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:14,160
Speaker 5: there's so much still up in the air for the Vikings.

723
00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:18,600
Speaker 5: But I'm I'm a fan. I'm a fan of what

724
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:22,080
Speaker 5: Sam is doing right now. I love the fact that

725
00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 5: he's put this team in a position to, you know,

726
00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:32,160
Speaker 5: not only make the playoffs and win the division, but

727
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:35,799
Speaker 5: also you know, solidify them as one of the top

728
00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:40,360
Speaker 5: teams in the entire league. I gotta think twenty eight touchdowns,

729
00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:44,759
Speaker 5: ten interceptions, yep, you know, yep, before it's all said

730
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:48,399
Speaker 5: and done, he'll be over four thousand yards passing. I mean,

731
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:50,480
Speaker 5: I mean, just.

732
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:52,799
Speaker 2: Think about the teams that might want to play with this.

733
00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:56,440
Speaker 2: I mean, it's probably politically never gonna come back together.

734
00:43:56,560 --> 00:43:59,000
Speaker 2: The first team that would probably want him next year

735
00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:02,560
Speaker 2: would be the Jets. That's not gonna happen.

736
00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:04,000
Speaker 4: No, never go back.

737
00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:05,600
Speaker 3: That's that's not going to happen.

738
00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:10,760
Speaker 2: But the New York Giants are are probably gonna want him.

739
00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:17,600
Speaker 2: For example, the Cleveland Browns might be interested. The Indianapolis Colts.

740
00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:22,000
Speaker 2: I could see them making a play. The Las Vegas Raiders.

741
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:25,160
Speaker 2: You bet where else?

742
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:28,000
Speaker 3: Could we go? Look at anything that.

743
00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:28,719
Speaker 2: I mean for me?

744
00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:30,200
Speaker 3: For Mew Orleans.

745
00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:36,000
Speaker 5: Probably maybe I'd be very cautious if I was Sam,

746
00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:36,480
Speaker 5: how so.

747
00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:39,920
Speaker 4: I wouldn't just go for the money. I go for

748
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:40,720
Speaker 4: the roster.

749
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:45,080
Speaker 2: I like that. Sure, I agree with you, because.

750
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:47,920
Speaker 5: The next step is his most important step of his career.

751
00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:52,280
Speaker 5: You don't want to just go, say to the Raiders,

752
00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:55,040
Speaker 5: because they pay you a bunch of money and their

753
00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:57,880
Speaker 5: cupboard is bare. You don't want to be put in

754
00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:01,040
Speaker 5: a situation where a team needs you to carry them.

755
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:04,480
Speaker 5: That's never been who he is. It's never been who

756
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:04,879
Speaker 5: he is.

757
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:07,520
Speaker 3: No, if I'm Sam, I want to stay in Minnesota.

758
00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:08,560
Speaker 3: But I don't know if they want me.

759
00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:12,759
Speaker 4: I don't think they look. I don't know at what price.

760
00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:17,680
Speaker 2: Right I feel like Sam is looking at a two year,

761
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:19,240
Speaker 2: sixty million dollar offer.

762
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:22,480
Speaker 4: If I was Sam, I would be like, you got

763
00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:22,920
Speaker 4: to give me.

764
00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:27,840
Speaker 5: Three okay, fine, at the same number, okay.

765
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:30,920
Speaker 2: And I don't know that Minnesota wants to do that.

766
00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:35,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, so that would be the you know, three year, uh,

767
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:38,680
Speaker 5: you know, ninety million dollars.

768
00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:42,759
Speaker 2: Okay, So give me the roster. That's not Minnesota that

769
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:44,680
Speaker 2: makes you think about leaving?

770
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:45,960
Speaker 3: Is it Indianapolis?

771
00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:50,560
Speaker 5: I like Andy, I do like and they got some

772
00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:54,919
Speaker 5: young receivers they have, of course their running game.

773
00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:56,920
Speaker 3: Is it Tennessee?

774
00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:06,000
Speaker 5: I don't think Tennessee is gonna come off of well Levitt.

775
00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:09,279
Speaker 5: Oh not this year, not this year?

776
00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:11,960
Speaker 2: All right, So they're not interested in being serious yet

777
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:12,839
Speaker 2: that's fine.

778
00:46:12,680 --> 00:46:13,480
Speaker 4: Right right?

779
00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:15,319
Speaker 2: So is it Cleveland?

780
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:16,960
Speaker 3: Can they even fit that?

781
00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:20,600
Speaker 5: I don't think they can. They can't afford that, right,

782
00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:26,320
Speaker 5: They can't fit that. There's not a lot here?

783
00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:30,560
Speaker 2: Does does does Carolina go back to Bryce Young?

784
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:35,920
Speaker 4: I mean, when you look at the way he's playing.

785
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:37,560
Speaker 2: He's playing interesting football, man.

786
00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:40,560
Speaker 5: He's when you look at the way he's competing, I

787
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:45,160
Speaker 5: should say, which makes a difference. Looking at the way

788
00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:53,280
Speaker 5: he's competing, he's earned He's earned a shot.

789
00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:56,080
Speaker 2: And Sam was there not that long ago, right.

790
00:46:56,239 --> 00:46:57,000
Speaker 4: He was just there.

791
00:46:57,440 --> 00:47:01,399
Speaker 5: Yeah, so he I don't think he's going back, Okay, right,

792
00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:04,640
Speaker 5: I don't think he's going back anywhere. So when you

793
00:47:04,680 --> 00:47:09,160
Speaker 5: when you look at you know, New York has neighbors

794
00:47:12,280 --> 00:47:16,400
Speaker 5: I'd like I mean, I like Brian day Ball. I

795
00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:19,920
Speaker 5: think that may be a good fit if he survives.

796
00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:24,040
Speaker 5: Okay for Sam Donald, Yeah, that's our giant.

797
00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:27,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're going to have a very early draft pick. Yeah,

798
00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:28,719
Speaker 2: possibly the number one.

799
00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:31,880
Speaker 4: Get you a nice offensive well offensive tackle.

800
00:47:32,600 --> 00:47:34,520
Speaker 3: You wouldn't take shador if you're in New York.

801
00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:38,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, if they lend it, you do, you have to, right,

802
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:39,759
Speaker 4: you have to. Yeah.

803
00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:40,719
Speaker 3: Yeah.

804
00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:44,479
Speaker 2: And they're they're they're two and eleven right now, which

805
00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:47,719
Speaker 2: is tied with the Raiders for the worst record. I

806
00:47:47,719 --> 00:47:50,680
Speaker 2: don't know how the tiebreaker works. I think that just

807
00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:53,120
Speaker 2: kind of goes coin flip ish or I don't even know.

808
00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:55,719
Speaker 2: But obviously there's a long way to go, but they're

809
00:47:55,719 --> 00:48:00,080
Speaker 2: tied right now for the worst record in football. So

810
00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:04,279
Speaker 2: they're they're they're they're going to have an opportunity to

811
00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:07,160
Speaker 2: get a quarterback early. I don't know if it's somebody

812
00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:09,400
Speaker 2: they want to play right away. I think those teams

813
00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:13,640
Speaker 2: that were throwing out those are those are the teams? Yeah,

814
00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:15,800
Speaker 2: I mean it's not those are those are the options

815
00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:16,520
Speaker 2: for saying it is not.

816
00:48:16,719 --> 00:48:19,600
Speaker 4: It's not a real big market for retraite quarterbacks.

817
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:27,720
Speaker 5: So you know, because everybody else has a star wars

818
00:48:27,880 --> 00:48:32,799
Speaker 5: are young guys or rookies, are second year guys that

819
00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:34,880
Speaker 5: they're trying to figure out if they can be a

820
00:48:34,880 --> 00:48:41,200
Speaker 5: part of that. Right, and there is Carolina off the table?

821
00:48:41,239 --> 00:48:42,960
Speaker 5: Go ahead, Can I give you one more?

822
00:48:43,280 --> 00:48:47,920
Speaker 2: Of course, there is a potential out after this season

823
00:48:49,080 --> 00:48:52,719
Speaker 2: for a guy who senselessly got himself hurt today. I

824
00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:57,799
Speaker 2: don't know if you saw this play, but what if

825
00:48:57,800 --> 00:49:00,600
Speaker 2: the New Orleans Saints decided to move on from Derek Carr?

826
00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:04,280
Speaker 4: Oh, that'd be That's that would be the spot.

827
00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:05,800
Speaker 3: That's is that the spot?

828
00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:06,600
Speaker 4: That's the spot?

829
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:12,280
Speaker 5: Okay, there's those young those young receivers and and Alvin Kamara.

830
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:13,480
Speaker 4: That asks where you want to be.

831
00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:16,160
Speaker 2: It's good. This is a solid defense too, That's what.

832
00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:16,680
Speaker 4: You want to be.

833
00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:18,279
Speaker 3: It started out that way.

834
00:49:18,480 --> 00:49:20,839
Speaker 2: I know that it wasn't a great defense throughout the year,

835
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:22,640
Speaker 2: but I think that some of it's circumstantial.

836
00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:24,000
Speaker 3: They have some players.

837
00:49:23,640 --> 00:49:28,480
Speaker 5: There Yeah, that's what you want. Okay, that's what you want.

838
00:49:28,680 --> 00:49:31,359
Speaker 5: That's that one that I'm circling. That's the perfect fit.

839
00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:34,080
Speaker 2: I don't know if if New Orleans wants to move

840
00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:37,799
Speaker 2: on from Derek Carr. I don't. I don't know how

841
00:49:38,200 --> 00:49:43,959
Speaker 2: terribly different Sam and Derek Carr, Right, I think they're

842
00:49:44,040 --> 00:49:48,560
Speaker 2: pretty that's pretty much. They live in the same area code.

843
00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:53,400
Speaker 2: I would say, I agree with that. You know, like

844
00:49:53,680 --> 00:49:57,280
Speaker 2: Derek had a year where he's kind of doing Sam things,

845
00:49:57,320 --> 00:50:00,120
Speaker 2: where he was going to potentially win the MVP that

846
00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:05,120
Speaker 2: he got hurt. He can take you to the playoffs.

847
00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:07,960
Speaker 2: I don't think he can win them, but if you

848
00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:11,640
Speaker 2: surround him with talent and and a great defense and

849
00:50:12,320 --> 00:50:14,479
Speaker 2: good weather and a dome and all of those things.

850
00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:15,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, he played football.

851
00:50:16,680 --> 00:50:19,120
Speaker 2: I think I think they're you know, i'd give Sam

852
00:50:19,120 --> 00:50:21,719
Speaker 2: a slight edge on Derek, but not not a ton.

853
00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:26,920
Speaker 2: But that that's an interesting one that I that to

854
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:29,560
Speaker 2: me feels plausible.

855
00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:33,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree, that's a good spot.

856
00:50:34,360 --> 00:50:39,080
Speaker 5: That'd be the best spot for him in my opinion.

857
00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:43,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, and and an incredibly winnable division, as we know,

858
00:50:45,640 --> 00:50:48,000
Speaker 2: incredibly winnable division every year.

859
00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:54,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's only gonna cost you about ninety.

860
00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:56,719
Speaker 2: Well, that's I mean, that's not very much if your

861
00:50:56,719 --> 00:51:01,359
Speaker 2: shop quarterback. Not very much if you're shopping for quarterbacks.

862
00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:03,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a nice bargain.

863
00:51:04,400 --> 00:51:07,800
Speaker 2: Speaking of shopping for quarterbacks, can we talk both about

864
00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:11,160
Speaker 2: their quarterback and their head coach? That would be the

865
00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:14,080
Speaker 2: San Francisco forty nine ers. We'll do that coming up

866
00:51:14,080 --> 00:51:16,640
Speaker 2: here in just a second. That's it from Salam. I'm

00:51:38,040 --> 00:51:38,719

Speaker 5: Come on, man, hey man, live stop talking. Ok, you

871

Speaker 2: Scott Shapiro texted me that at the other day. Hey Man,

873
00:51:53,280 --> 00:51:58,919
Speaker 2: can you stop talking. It's tough in radio, brother, it's

874
00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:03,799
Speaker 2: tough tyreck dot Com Studios. That's the from Salama, Mark Willard.

875
00:52:03,520 --> 00:52:04,160
Speaker 3: Go ahead, pick it.

876
00:52:04,320 --> 00:52:08,359
Speaker 2: I want to hear your prediction. What annoying thing will

877
00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:10,920
Speaker 2: the Chiefs do to win a football game tonight?

878
00:52:12,360 --> 00:52:12,720
Speaker 3: Go ahead?

879
00:52:12,760 --> 00:52:13,200
Speaker 2: I'm listening.

880
00:52:13,280 --> 00:52:15,759
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, come on, I.

881
00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:20,080
Speaker 2: Can smell it. It's six nothing Chiefs. We got a

882
00:52:20,160 --> 00:52:22,640
Speaker 2: rock fight. We expected a rock fight. I thought the

883
00:52:22,719 --> 00:52:24,520
Speaker 2: under in this game was one of the best bets

884
00:52:24,520 --> 00:52:26,799
Speaker 2: of the week. Doesn't mean I'm gonna be right. We'll

885
00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:29,759
Speaker 2: see how this thing plays out, but we're gonna go back.

886
00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:32,040
Speaker 2: We're gonna go forth. You're not gonna have fun if

887
00:52:32,080 --> 00:52:36,160
Speaker 2: you're waiting for fantasy football numbers to show up. Somebody

888
00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:42,120
Speaker 2: will score a touchdown and then something stupid will happen.

889
00:52:41,840 --> 00:52:43,000
Speaker 3: In the end and the Chiefs will win.

890
00:52:44,480 --> 00:52:45,360
Speaker 4: That is a fact.

891
00:52:46,120 --> 00:52:46,359
Speaker 3: Yep.

892
00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:49,560
Speaker 4: Oh, and they won't cover, so there, nope.

893
00:52:50,200 --> 00:52:53,120
Speaker 2: Nope, And that's a small number. I think the number

894
00:52:53,120 --> 00:52:55,960
Speaker 2: it was number three something like that tonight.

895
00:52:56,920 --> 00:52:59,880
Speaker 4: I think it was three.

896
00:52:59,280 --> 00:52:59,720
Speaker 3: And a half.

897
00:53:00,040 --> 00:53:03,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think maybe mhm, four, I think four.

898
00:53:04,040 --> 00:53:08,120
Speaker 2: It got up to four. Oh, they definitely won't cover.

899
00:53:10,600 --> 00:53:12,479
Speaker 4: There's four it'll cover.

900
00:53:13,040 --> 00:53:16,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, but guess what the Chargers are doing right now

901
00:53:16,760 --> 00:53:18,760
Speaker 2: as we speaking, punting?

902
00:53:19,160 --> 00:53:23,040
Speaker 4: Yeah again, But anyway, you didn't answer my question.

903
00:53:23,160 --> 00:53:25,080
Speaker 2: What annoying thing are the Chiefs going to do to

904
00:53:25,080 --> 00:53:26,160
Speaker 2: win a football game tonight?

905
00:53:27,960 --> 00:53:32,360
Speaker 5: It'll it won't even be them, it'll be you know,

906
00:53:33,800 --> 00:53:36,400
Speaker 5: you're stopping them in the fourth quarters. A minute left,

907
00:53:36,719 --> 00:53:42,880
Speaker 5: it's third and third and seven and you you know,

908
00:53:42,920 --> 00:53:44,439
Speaker 5: get a penalty and extend to drive.

909
00:53:45,840 --> 00:53:50,120
Speaker 4: That's you know, it's it's like that. Man.

910
00:53:50,880 --> 00:53:57,680
Speaker 5: Although these are two well coached teams. They are, so

911
00:53:57,840 --> 00:54:00,000
Speaker 5: this is ah, this is gonna be interesting.

912
00:54:01,320 --> 00:54:04,040
Speaker 2: No turnovers yet in the game. I sort of feel

913
00:54:04,040 --> 00:54:09,960
Speaker 2: like that's what we're waiting for. But yeah, the Chargers

914
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:12,480
Speaker 2: have not been able to run the ball yet. These

915
00:54:12,520 --> 00:54:15,799
Speaker 2: two defenses, one could argue, are the best two in

916
00:54:15,840 --> 00:54:20,200
Speaker 2: the football and so I'm not surprised we're looking at

917
00:54:20,200 --> 00:54:22,200
Speaker 2: a six to nothing game with just over six minutes

918
00:54:22,200 --> 00:54:26,120
Speaker 2: to go until halftime. I do know that the Chargers

919
00:54:26,120 --> 00:54:27,680
Speaker 2: would use the end zone at some point in the

920
00:54:27,760 --> 00:54:33,160
Speaker 2: second half. I do know that they will be within

921
00:54:33,239 --> 00:54:36,200
Speaker 2: one score, if not leading, with five minutes to go

922
00:54:36,239 --> 00:54:39,719
Speaker 2: in this game. And I do know somebody gonna mess

923
00:54:39,800 --> 00:54:43,680
Speaker 2: up something and the Chiefs are gonna win. Those are

924
00:54:43,719 --> 00:54:51,080
Speaker 2: the things I know in life, not much else. Hey,

925
00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:57,600
Speaker 2: Ian Rappaport said something this morning. It's a report from

926
00:54:58,040 --> 00:55:04,480
Speaker 2: It's a report the San Francisco forty nine Ers are

927
00:55:04,640 --> 00:55:08,360
Speaker 2: still planning to extend brock Purty.

928
00:55:09,560 --> 00:55:10,279
Speaker 4: Why wouldn't they?

929
00:55:11,040 --> 00:55:15,840
Speaker 2: Exactly, I thought to myself, you know what this last

930
00:55:15,840 --> 00:55:18,600
Speaker 2: two weeks has been, and I am front and center

931
00:55:18,640 --> 00:55:22,560
Speaker 2: in San Francisco, and I fully fully understand how frustrated

932
00:55:23,239 --> 00:55:26,120
Speaker 2: everybody is and all the things that have gone wrong

933
00:55:26,200 --> 00:55:31,400
Speaker 2: and the certain pieces of that where blame can be laid. Like,

934
00:55:31,480 --> 00:55:34,960
Speaker 2: I get all of it. I understand it. However, the

935
00:55:34,960 --> 00:55:38,279
Speaker 2: forty nine or franchise this year, in twenty twenty four,

936
00:55:38,880 --> 00:55:43,439
Speaker 2: has become the home of stories being reported that never

937
00:55:43,520 --> 00:55:49,520
Speaker 2: had to be. Like everything that you're hearing about the

938
00:55:49,560 --> 00:55:56,440
Speaker 2: forty nine ers, the debatable topics, the buzz, none of

939
00:55:56,440 --> 00:56:01,080
Speaker 2: it is actually happening. That's how That's what I do know.

940
00:56:02,400 --> 00:56:06,120
Speaker 2: I know that everyone's like, would you pay Brock? The

941
00:56:06,200 --> 00:56:11,480
Speaker 2: Niners aren't asking if they'd pay Brock. Would would you

942
00:56:11,560 --> 00:56:16,040
Speaker 2: give up Kyle Shanahan for seventy eight draft picks? The

943
00:56:16,120 --> 00:56:20,200
Speaker 2: Niners aren't having that conversation. Do you think that Kyle

944
00:56:20,239 --> 00:56:24,359
Speaker 2: Shanahan would like to leave? Kyle Shanahan's not thinking about that.

945
00:56:26,680 --> 00:56:30,880
Speaker 2: There's all of these thoughts that and by the way,

946
00:56:31,160 --> 00:56:33,279
Speaker 2: for those of you who didn't hear this, the whole

947
00:56:33,320 --> 00:56:36,759
Speaker 2: idea of Kyle Shanahan being traded to the Bears that

948
00:56:36,960 --> 00:56:42,040
Speaker 2: started with Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk. And what

949
00:56:42,120 --> 00:56:45,759
Speaker 2: was really great is that Mike, after he reported it

950
00:56:45,800 --> 00:56:48,080
Speaker 2: on Pro Football Talk, he came on the morning show

951
00:56:48,120 --> 00:56:50,640
Speaker 2: on the station for which I work uh ninety five

952
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:52,600
Speaker 2: the game in San Francisco.

953
00:56:52,160 --> 00:56:55,000
Speaker 3: And they asked him, Hey, Mike, where did that come from?

954
00:56:55,080 --> 00:56:55,959
Speaker 4: You want to know what? He says.

955
00:56:56,440 --> 00:57:00,200
Speaker 2: This is a real conversation. He goes, what were in

956
00:57:00,239 --> 00:57:04,120
Speaker 2: there doing the podcast and we're talking about candidates for

957
00:57:04,200 --> 00:57:07,000
Speaker 2: the Bears opening, and then he goes and all of

958
00:57:07,040 --> 00:57:12,680
Speaker 2: a sudden, it just dawned on me that we weren't

959
00:57:12,680 --> 00:57:18,080
Speaker 2: thinking about the entire bevy of candidates known as people

960
00:57:18,080 --> 00:57:23,280
Speaker 2: who currently have jobs. So I just started, you know,

961
00:57:24,840 --> 00:57:30,520
Speaker 2: wondering if maybe that might be something. Ladies and gentlemen,

962
00:57:30,600 --> 00:57:34,200
Speaker 2: I give you what's called a report in twenty twenty four.

963
00:57:35,480 --> 00:57:40,920
Speaker 2: A human being scratches his head, and we've got a

964
00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:46,400
Speaker 2: week of content. The fact that Kyle needed to address

965
00:57:46,440 --> 00:57:49,840
Speaker 2: this after the game today saying that there's absolutely nowhere

966
00:57:49,840 --> 00:57:52,960
Speaker 2: else he wants to be. Then there's absolutely no one

967
00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:57,240
Speaker 2: else the forty nine ers want coaching the team. I'm

968
00:57:57,280 --> 00:57:59,640
Speaker 2: not saying they're going to give Brock sixty million, but

969
00:57:59,720 --> 00:58:03,480
Speaker 2: there's absolutely nothing that's happened with that football team that

970
00:58:03,520 --> 00:58:06,200
Speaker 2: would suggest the Niners feel like there is a better

971
00:58:06,280 --> 00:58:10,080
Speaker 2: option somewhere else. Right now, Currently there is quarterback or

972
00:58:10,080 --> 00:58:14,200
Speaker 2: a quarterback or at head coach. But here we are,

973
00:58:16,400 --> 00:58:22,560
Speaker 2: so here we are just it's just a whole lot

974
00:58:22,560 --> 00:58:24,040
Speaker 2: of manufactured drama. Man.

975
00:58:25,960 --> 00:58:32,160
Speaker 5: Well, sometimes people have to, you know, make things up,

976
00:58:33,240 --> 00:58:37,400
Speaker 5: are living hyperbole are or what ifs?

977
00:58:38,080 --> 00:58:40,960
Speaker 2: Well, like, I don't even mind if people want to

978
00:58:41,000 --> 00:58:44,440
Speaker 2: think out loud and have ideas and imagine, like I'm not.

979
00:58:44,600 --> 00:58:48,440
Speaker 2: That's fine though, I mean, yeah, well but but but

980
00:58:49,120 --> 00:58:51,880
Speaker 2: and that's fine too. But like like, I don't mind

981
00:58:51,880 --> 00:58:55,320
Speaker 2: if Floria wants to throw something against the wall. But

982
00:58:55,400 --> 00:58:57,680
Speaker 2: it's it's very very funny to me the way that

983
00:58:57,720 --> 00:59:03,080
Speaker 2: it gets picked up, regurgitated, circulated. And then also the

984
00:59:03,160 --> 00:59:06,080
Speaker 2: other side to it is it's just it's just a

985
00:59:06,120 --> 00:59:12,080
Speaker 2: window into how disappointing this season has been for them. Therefore,

986
00:59:13,240 --> 00:59:15,440
Speaker 2: a lot of people surrounding that team or those who

987
00:59:15,480 --> 00:59:20,320
Speaker 2: follow that team are willing to act from an emotional place,

988
00:59:21,160 --> 00:59:25,800
Speaker 2: which is the only place where ideas like let's trade

989
00:59:25,840 --> 00:59:28,160
Speaker 2: Kyle Shanahan for a couple of first round picks would

990
00:59:28,200 --> 00:59:28,680
Speaker 2: come from.

991
00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:38,840
Speaker 3: No, let me ask you this, did today's win do

992
00:59:38,880 --> 00:59:39,480
Speaker 3: anything for you?

993
00:59:40,440 --> 00:59:43,560
Speaker 4: I thought it was great. I thought it was great.

994
00:59:43,600 --> 00:59:47,480
Speaker 5: I thought they came out what a sense of urgency,

995
00:59:49,560 --> 00:59:52,720
Speaker 5: you know, be nice for them to come out like

996
00:59:52,800 --> 00:59:53,560
Speaker 5: that against a.

997
00:59:55,560 --> 00:59:56,040
Speaker 4: Good team.

998
00:59:56,160 --> 01:00:01,160
Speaker 5: Perhaps maybe they play the Rams in four days, that's

999
01:00:01,160 --> 01:00:04,480
Speaker 5: gonna be a good I mean, but they look defensively.

1000
01:00:04,520 --> 01:00:06,440
Speaker 5: They held the Chicago Bears to four yards in the

1001
01:00:06,480 --> 01:00:10,320
Speaker 5: first half. They did all right, So can you build

1002
01:00:10,320 --> 01:00:14,000
Speaker 5: on that? Brock Party missed five passes through for three

1003
01:00:14,040 --> 01:00:17,840
Speaker 5: twenty five. Look with these numbers, who could even argue

1004
01:00:17,880 --> 01:00:19,320
Speaker 5: if they're going to sign the man?

1005
01:00:19,480 --> 01:00:21,040
Speaker 4: Like that's crazy? Talk to me.

1006
01:00:21,320 --> 01:00:23,720
Speaker 2: This quarterback rating today was one hundred and forty five.

1007
01:00:23,760 --> 01:00:26,560
Speaker 2: And by the way, the Bears passing defense one of

1008
01:00:26,600 --> 01:00:28,080
Speaker 2: the best in football's top five.

1009
01:00:29,360 --> 01:00:35,760
Speaker 5: Like this notion of the grass is greener? Like, where

1010
01:00:36,280 --> 01:00:47,360
Speaker 5: where's that grass greener? Kansas City, Baltimore, Uffalo, Buffalo? Sure,

1011
01:00:48,160 --> 01:00:53,360
Speaker 5: all right, Bengals, Yeah probably.

1012
01:00:54,800 --> 01:01:01,800
Speaker 4: But I'm not stepping in anybody else's yard. I'm not

1013
01:01:04,800 --> 01:01:06,520
Speaker 4: I'm not stepping in anybody else's yard.

1014
01:01:09,400 --> 01:01:09,680
Speaker 3: Is that?

1015
01:01:09,840 --> 01:01:12,600
Speaker 2: Is that the list of quarterbacks that you would would

1016
01:01:12,680 --> 01:01:13,760
Speaker 2: trade brock Party for?

1017
01:01:15,120 --> 01:01:18,800
Speaker 4: Yeah? Pretty list? Yeah? Justin Herbert?

1018
01:01:20,760 --> 01:01:22,440
Speaker 2: You would you traded for Justin Herbert?

1019
01:01:22,520 --> 01:01:27,200
Speaker 4: Yeah? I like I like Justin Herbert a lot.

1020
01:01:28,160 --> 01:01:37,280
Speaker 5: Just Droud, Yeah maybe I got how about Jordan Love?

1021
01:01:37,440 --> 01:01:38,280
Speaker 3: How about Jordan Love.

1022
01:01:38,320 --> 01:01:39,280
Speaker 4: Oh, that's a good one.

1023
01:01:39,640 --> 01:01:40,280
Speaker 2: That's a good one.

1024
01:01:40,320 --> 01:01:41,360
Speaker 4: Right, that's a good one.

1025
01:01:41,640 --> 01:01:42,440
Speaker 2: He's a good player.

1026
01:01:42,640 --> 01:01:48,360
Speaker 5: He's a really good player. But so it was Brock Party.

1027
01:01:49,120 --> 01:01:52,040
Speaker 5: All of those guys were drafted a day three days

1028
01:01:52,080 --> 01:01:56,600
Speaker 5: before him. Yeah, everything of every single one of the

1029
01:01:56,600 --> 01:02:01,240
Speaker 5: guys we just named were drafted three whole days before

1030
01:02:01,280 --> 01:02:01,720
Speaker 5: he was.

1031
01:02:02,520 --> 01:02:04,600
Speaker 2: You left one name off the list, and I can't

1032
01:02:04,600 --> 01:02:07,720
Speaker 2: believe you missed this one. I know I would trade

1033
01:02:07,800 --> 01:02:08,880
Speaker 2: Rock Party for this guy.

1034
01:02:09,040 --> 01:02:11,720
Speaker 4: Oh uh huh.

1035
01:02:12,880 --> 01:02:13,680
Speaker 3: Steve de Sager.

1036
01:02:13,800 --> 01:02:15,800
Speaker 4: Let's go Steve Longo to Sager.

1037
01:02:17,520 --> 01:02:19,800
Speaker 6: By the way, as you talk about the Niners, it

1038
01:02:19,840 --> 01:02:24,080
Speaker 6: was such a blowout against Chicago today. San Francisco had

1039
01:02:24,200 --> 01:02:27,320
Speaker 6: nine different plays go for at least twenty yards, nine

1040
01:02:27,360 --> 01:02:28,919
Speaker 6: of them in one game.

1041
01:02:29,560 --> 01:02:33,240
Speaker 2: It was unbelievable. There was just space everywhere in this game.

1042
01:02:33,240 --> 01:02:34,760
Speaker 2: I don't know where the Bears were looked like they

1043
01:02:34,760 --> 01:02:35,880
Speaker 2: were playing with nine dudes.

1044
01:02:35,960 --> 01:02:37,760
Speaker 6: I'm not sure the Bears were there in the first half.

1045
01:02:37,880 --> 01:02:41,000
Speaker 6: Quite honestly, the exact numbers. In the first half, San

1046
01:02:41,040 --> 01:02:44,479
Speaker 6: Francisco out gained them three hundred and nineteen yards to four.

1047
01:02:45,080 --> 01:02:47,640
Speaker 6: Bears had one first down in the first half, So

1048
01:02:47,680 --> 01:02:50,960
Speaker 6: the final was thirty eight thirteen. Chicago's lost seven straight

1049
01:02:51,600 --> 01:02:54,600
Speaker 6: in the last three games combined. For San Francisco, they

1050
01:02:54,600 --> 01:02:57,160
Speaker 6: had thirty seven points. They scored thirty eight in this

1051
01:02:57,320 --> 01:03:01,400
Speaker 6: game today, and they sat Caleb Williams seven times, one fumble.

1052
01:03:01,520 --> 01:03:05,560
Speaker 6: He has been sacked this year fifty six times already,

1053
01:03:05,600 --> 01:03:07,880
Speaker 6: which is the most for any Bears quarterback in a

1054
01:03:07,960 --> 01:03:11,600
Speaker 6: season since the merger over fifty years ago. So San

1055
01:03:11,640 --> 01:03:15,680
Speaker 6: Francisco is hosting the Rams this Thursday night. If the

1056
01:03:15,760 --> 01:03:18,960
Speaker 6: Niners win that home game, they'll be seven and seven

1057
01:03:19,040 --> 01:03:22,520
Speaker 6: with three games left in the season. Somebody will win

1058
01:03:22,640 --> 01:03:26,200
Speaker 6: that division. Seattle did win again today thirty to eighteen

1059
01:03:26,240 --> 01:03:29,160
Speaker 6: at Arizona, Zach Sharboney one hundred and thirty four yards

1060
01:03:29,240 --> 01:03:31,640
Speaker 6: rushing in two scores as Kenneth Walker was out with

1061
01:03:31,680 --> 01:03:35,160
Speaker 6: ankle and calf injuries. The Rams led Buffalo thirty one

1062
01:03:35,400 --> 01:03:38,960
Speaker 6: fourteen in the third quarter forty four to forty two.

1063
01:03:39,200 --> 01:03:42,240
Speaker 6: Rams the final that ends Buffalo's seven game winning streak.

1064
01:03:42,480 --> 01:03:44,880
Speaker 6: And at Kansas City tonight, the Chiefs have a chance

1065
01:03:44,920 --> 01:03:47,959
Speaker 6: to clinch the AFC West title for the ninth straight year.

1066
01:03:48,720 --> 01:03:51,959
Speaker 6: Justin Herbert is down and being attended to. He's had

1067
01:03:52,040 --> 01:03:55,760
Speaker 6: earlier in the evening an ankle injury. Taylor Heineke is

1068
01:03:55,840 --> 01:03:58,960
Speaker 6: warming up in case he comes in for LA. It's

1069
01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:02,400
Speaker 6: currently six nothing Chiefs over the Chargers with under five

1070
01:04:02,480 --> 01:04:05,320
Speaker 6: minutes to go in the second quarter. Two field goals

1071
01:04:05,320 --> 01:04:09,000
Speaker 6: for Kansas City Patrick Mahomes one hundred and one yards passing.

1072
01:04:09,080 --> 01:04:12,920
Speaker 6: Herbert was seventy three yards passing. Chargers are on their

1073
01:04:12,960 --> 01:04:15,760
Speaker 6: fifth drive. They have four first downs in this game.

1074
01:04:16,160 --> 01:04:16,440
Speaker 4: JK.

1075
01:04:16,600 --> 01:04:19,520
Speaker 6: Dobbins, they're starting running back, is on injured reserve for

1076
01:04:19,560 --> 01:04:23,000
Speaker 6: a month, and their best, clearly best wide receiver, rookie

1077
01:04:23,080 --> 01:04:26,480
Speaker 6: Lad mccaukee is out tonight with knee and shoulder injuries.

1078
01:04:27,040 --> 01:04:29,920
Speaker 6: So good luck to the Chargers if they don't have

1079
01:04:30,080 --> 01:04:32,200
Speaker 6: Justin Herbert the rest of the night. And what you

1080
01:04:32,280 --> 01:04:35,919
Speaker 6: mentioned is just stay close and win a low scoring game.

1081
01:04:35,960 --> 01:04:38,120
Speaker 6: That's pretty much the only way they can win I

1082
01:04:38,160 --> 01:04:41,120
Speaker 6: think tonight. And that's how they almost won when they

1083
01:04:41,120 --> 01:04:43,880
Speaker 6: faced the Chiefs in LA in September. It was ten

1084
01:04:43,960 --> 01:04:46,480
Speaker 6: ten in the fourth quarter. Of course, the teams with

1085
01:04:47,160 --> 01:04:50,600
Speaker 6: Mahomes won the game. In fact, the Chiefs in games

1086
01:04:50,600 --> 01:04:53,720
Speaker 6: decided by one scorer or less have won fourteen straight,

1087
01:04:54,240 --> 01:04:59,080
Speaker 6: longest streak in league history. The Chargers do allow only

1088
01:04:59,120 --> 01:05:01,720
Speaker 6: sixteen points again this year. That's best in the NFL.

1089
01:05:01,760 --> 01:05:05,520
Speaker 6: They lost seventeen to ten to Kansas City in September.

1090
01:05:06,080 --> 01:05:09,240
Speaker 6: As for the earlier games, we did have another Philadelphia win.

1091
01:05:09,360 --> 01:05:12,960
Speaker 6: That's nine straight victories. Philly over Carolina twenty two to sixteen.

1092
01:05:13,040 --> 01:05:15,040
Speaker 6: But you may have heard the stories about somebody betting

1093
01:05:15,080 --> 01:05:16,840
Speaker 6: three million dollars on Philly.

1094
01:05:16,520 --> 01:05:17,280
Speaker 4: To win this week.

1095
01:05:18,120 --> 01:05:22,040
Speaker 6: Philadelphia started the fourth quarter trailing a Carolina Panthers team

1096
01:05:22,040 --> 01:05:25,240
Speaker 6: that was last in the NFC in total offense, had

1097
01:05:25,240 --> 01:05:29,280
Speaker 6: the league's worst rushing defense, was allowing over thirty points

1098
01:05:29,320 --> 01:05:32,960
Speaker 6: a game. The Eagles do have the league's top rank defense.

1099
01:05:33,160 --> 01:05:36,520
Speaker 6: The Eagles have Saquon Barkley, the NFL's rushing leader, a

1100
01:05:36,560 --> 01:05:39,480
Speaker 6: guy who averages one hundred and twenty five yards rushing

1101
01:05:39,560 --> 01:05:42,280
Speaker 6: a game. He had won twenty four on the ground

1102
01:05:42,280 --> 01:05:45,720
Speaker 6: in this one, twenty two to sixteen. The Eagles eke

1103
01:05:45,800 --> 01:05:49,040
Speaker 6: out of victory Miami in overtime beat the Jets. Minnesota

1104
01:05:49,080 --> 01:05:52,120
Speaker 6: won at six straight Sam Darnold five touchdown passes, beating

1105
01:05:52,160 --> 01:05:55,160
Speaker 6: Atlanta forty two to twenty one. That was Kirk Cousins

1106
01:05:55,160 --> 01:05:57,200
Speaker 6: back in Minnesota. By the way, he had three hundred

1107
01:05:57,200 --> 01:06:00,920
Speaker 6: and forty four yards passing two interseven sinz. The new

1108
01:06:00,960 --> 01:06:04,000
Speaker 6: had football coach at Purdue is Barry Odom from UNLV.

1109
01:06:04,200 --> 01:06:07,760
Speaker 6: He had also coached at Missouri. SMU made the College

1110
01:06:07,760 --> 01:06:12,560
Speaker 6: football Playoff, Alabama did not. College hoops Missouri beat number

1111
01:06:12,640 --> 01:06:16,400
Speaker 6: one Kansas seventy six sixty seven. Denver Nuggets won it.

1112
01:06:16,440 --> 01:06:19,680
Speaker 6: Atlanta and NBA play one forty one one eleven. Nikola

1113
01:06:19,760 --> 01:06:23,920
Speaker 6: Jokic with forty eight points after his fifty six in

1114
01:06:23,960 --> 01:06:27,520
Speaker 6: a defeat last night. And we've got the Pelicans up

1115
01:06:27,560 --> 01:06:31,400
Speaker 6: two in the final minute at San Antonio. The New

1116
01:06:31,480 --> 01:06:35,880
Speaker 6: Orleans Pelicans five and nineteen this year, and they've just

1117
01:06:35,920 --> 01:06:38,880
Speaker 6: blown the lead in the final seconds. Spurs went at

1118
01:06:38,880 --> 01:06:42,200
Speaker 6: one twenty one, one sixteen. Pelicans on the road now

1119
01:06:42,280 --> 01:06:46,120
Speaker 6: one and twelve and Brandon Ingram is out indefinitely with

1120
01:06:46,200 --> 01:06:47,080
Speaker 6: an ankle injury.

1121
01:06:47,120 --> 01:06:47,720
Speaker 4: Final note.

1122
01:06:47,720 --> 01:06:50,720
Speaker 6: The Baseball Hall of Fame's Classic Era Committee was tonight

1123
01:06:50,800 --> 01:06:52,919
Speaker 6: considering an eight man ballot for the Hall of Fame

1124
01:06:53,000 --> 01:06:56,520
Speaker 6: of contributors before nineteen eighty. This happened today because the

1125
01:06:56,520 --> 01:06:59,280
Speaker 6: Winter Meetings started today in Dallas. That's where they were.

1126
01:07:00,000 --> 01:07:03,360
Speaker 6: Committee's eight finalists included Louis Tillant, Ken Boy or Steve

1127
01:07:03,400 --> 01:07:06,240
Speaker 6: Garvey and others, but into the Hall of Fame these

1128
01:07:06,280 --> 01:07:09,520
Speaker 6: two Dave Parker, seven time All Star and an MVP,

1129
01:07:10,120 --> 01:07:13,080
Speaker 6: and Dick Allen, a seven time All Star and an MVP.

1130
01:07:13,840 --> 01:07:16,760
Speaker 6: Parker got fourteen of sixteen votes from the committee. Allen

1131
01:07:16,840 --> 01:07:20,320
Speaker 6: got thirteen of sixteen. So those two chosen today. We'll

1132
01:07:20,440 --> 01:07:23,480
Speaker 6: go into the Hall in July with whomever's voted in

1133
01:07:23,880 --> 01:07:26,760
Speaker 6: by the writers next month, and that probably will include

1134
01:07:26,760 --> 01:07:27,680
Speaker 6: Echuro Suzuki.

1135
01:07:27,720 --> 01:07:28,160
Speaker 4: Back to you.

1136
01:07:29,800 --> 01:07:33,040
Speaker 2: Who good stuff, Steve across the board appreciated Steve to

1137
01:07:33,120 --> 01:07:36,840
Speaker 2: sega with us every single hour we are live in

1138
01:07:36,960 --> 01:07:41,760
Speaker 2: the Tireraq dot com studios. There's a sentence in there.

1139
01:07:41,800 --> 01:07:43,040
Speaker 2: I mean, there might have been a few of them,

1140
01:07:43,080 --> 01:07:45,479
Speaker 2: but there was a sentence from Stevie from I don't

1141
01:07:45,520 --> 01:07:47,880
Speaker 2: think I ever thought I would hear a human being

1142
01:07:48,000 --> 01:07:55,960
Speaker 2: say SMU got into the playoff Alabama. Didn't I think

1143
01:07:56,000 --> 01:07:57,200
Speaker 2: i'd ever hear anybody say that.

1144
01:07:58,680 --> 01:08:01,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's pretty.

1145
01:08:00,760 --> 01:08:04,040
Speaker 2: I mean, so again, you know, we talked about it

1146
01:08:04,040 --> 01:08:09,000
Speaker 2: a little bit earlier. Nothing in the world is perfect,

1147
01:08:09,200 --> 01:08:12,400
Speaker 2: and you like what you like, and I get it.

1148
01:08:12,480 --> 01:08:16,879
Speaker 2: If you're a college football traditionalist, Man, you've been challenged

1149
01:08:16,920 --> 01:08:20,960
Speaker 2: a thousand different ways in the last decade. But I'll

1150
01:08:21,040 --> 01:08:25,320
Speaker 2: just say, for a few different reasons, this new structure,

1151
01:08:25,960 --> 01:08:31,439
Speaker 2: having more teams involved and therefore less boardroom decisions with

1152
01:08:31,479 --> 01:08:32,840
Speaker 2: regard to who gets to play for.

1153
01:08:32,800 --> 01:08:34,160
Speaker 3: This thing, I don't know.

1154
01:08:34,200 --> 01:08:37,800
Speaker 2: Man, to me, this is the best setup that they've

1155
01:08:37,840 --> 01:08:41,519
Speaker 2: had yet. We'll see how it looks. But again, I

1156
01:08:41,560 --> 01:08:44,920
Speaker 2: really like the fact that that you're gonna have some

1157
01:08:45,000 --> 01:08:47,639
Speaker 2: home games, and therefore you're going to have a real

1158
01:08:47,760 --> 01:08:50,799
Speaker 2: crowd with that has something to say in these games

1159
01:08:50,800 --> 01:08:52,760
Speaker 2: and all of that. So I'm interested to see what

1160
01:08:52,760 --> 01:08:55,839
Speaker 2: this looks like. And I'm not usually interested in college football.

1161
01:08:55,880 --> 01:08:57,040
Speaker 2: On December eighth, Yeah.

1162
01:08:56,920 --> 01:08:59,840
Speaker 5: I'm excited about it. I'm excited about it all year

1163
01:09:00,600 --> 01:09:05,559
Speaker 5: knowing this was coming down the pipe. I think it's

1164
01:09:05,680 --> 01:09:07,920
Speaker 5: great for college football. I think it's great for fans,

1165
01:09:08,200 --> 01:09:09,760
Speaker 5: and like you said, I think it's great for those

1166
01:09:09,880 --> 01:09:17,960
Speaker 5: universities to get to host the first round of these playoffs.

1167
01:09:15,360 --> 01:09:18,080
Speaker 3: No doubt about it. So glad you're with us.

1168
01:09:18,160 --> 01:09:22,599
Speaker 2: Also, that three point one million dollar bet on on

1169
01:09:22,640 --> 01:09:26,120
Speaker 2: the Eagles, I don't know what. Let me see to oh,

1170
01:09:26,280 --> 01:09:28,719
Speaker 2: do you know how much like that's a money line

1171
01:09:28,760 --> 01:09:31,439
Speaker 2: bet three point one million just to win the game.

1172
01:09:32,320 --> 01:09:35,000
Speaker 2: So do you know how much the bet actually wins

1173
01:09:35,120 --> 01:09:37,360
Speaker 2: if the Eagles win the game, which they did, what

1174
01:09:37,560 --> 01:09:41,000
Speaker 2: a couple hundred grands four and forty two thousand dollars. Yeah,

1175
01:09:41,560 --> 01:09:44,960
Speaker 2: so this bet was absolutely to me. This is no

1176
01:09:45,080 --> 01:09:49,240
Speaker 2: different than Dan Campbell going forward on fourth down. It's like,

1177
01:09:49,960 --> 01:09:53,680
Speaker 2: I get that you can do this. I get that

1178
01:09:53,840 --> 01:09:56,160
Speaker 2: you've got a lot of juice, but I get that

1179
01:09:56,240 --> 01:10:02,000
Speaker 2: you might win. But what's in it for you? Why?

1180
01:10:02,160 --> 01:10:05,080
Speaker 2: That's a bad risk reward? And oh, by the way,

1181
01:10:05,600 --> 01:10:08,040
Speaker 2: that four hundred and forty two grand that this guy won,

1182
01:10:08,840 --> 01:10:11,400
Speaker 2: I hope he sends half of it to exavierly get

1183
01:10:11,439 --> 01:10:12,719
Speaker 2: of the Carolina Panthers.

1184
01:10:14,600 --> 01:10:17,679
Speaker 4: Oh, you had it right in his hands.

1185
01:10:18,120 --> 01:10:19,160
Speaker 3: He had that ball.

1186
01:10:20,479 --> 01:10:24,040
Speaker 2: That was a beautiful drive by Bryce Young and that

1187
01:10:24,200 --> 01:10:28,120
Speaker 2: was a touchdown pass. And then it wasn't don't like.

1188
01:10:28,160 --> 01:10:32,080
Speaker 5: Look, I like what Bryce is doing, recalibrating, got his

1189
01:10:32,160 --> 01:10:37,160
Speaker 5: stuff together. He's competing now before it just seemed like

1190
01:10:37,200 --> 01:10:42,120
Speaker 5: he was there. Now he's competing, and so you know,

1191
01:10:42,280 --> 01:10:43,720
Speaker 5: we'll see how he finishes it up.

1192
01:10:46,520 --> 01:10:49,280
Speaker 2: Mark with Ardy from Salam, glad that you are with

1193
01:10:49,360 --> 01:10:51,920
Speaker 2: us tonight and nowhere near done yet. Coming up next,

1194
01:10:52,000 --> 01:10:56,400
Speaker 2: let's dive further into the NFC North and play this

1195
01:10:56,600 --> 01:11:01,120
Speaker 2: out in terms of the pecking order, how it might go,

1196
01:11:01,760 --> 01:11:05,520
Speaker 2: the actual contenders for tenders, Lions, Vikings, Packers.

1197
01:11:05,880 --> 01:11:07,960
Speaker 3: That's next on Fox Sports Radio.

1198
01:11:08,800 --> 01:11:12,479
Speaker 2: All right, TYRAG dot Com Studios with e from salam

1199
01:11:12,600 --> 01:11:15,920
Speaker 2: Mark Willard. Look, I've learned. I've learned not to do

1200
01:11:16,040 --> 01:11:19,679
Speaker 2: this on Twitter. I've learned not to follow stories on Twitter.

1201
01:11:21,439 --> 01:11:24,439
Speaker 2: If it's there, it means somebody who's actually in the

1202
01:11:24,479 --> 01:11:30,640
Speaker 2: no wants it there. Doesn't mean that that's accurate. You know,

1203
01:11:30,720 --> 01:11:34,800
Speaker 2: Twitter reports about free agency and things like that are

1204
01:11:34,840 --> 01:11:39,919
Speaker 2: probably no different than presidential election polls, for example. However,

1205
01:11:40,960 --> 01:11:43,519
Speaker 2: I do want to throw this at you take a

1206
01:11:43,600 --> 01:11:48,120
Speaker 2: momentary break from the NFL because there are a number

1207
01:11:48,160 --> 01:11:53,280
Speaker 2: of reporters tonight not suggesting where one Soto will land,

1208
01:11:53,560 --> 01:11:58,000
Speaker 2: but when, and there is a buzz there's a buzzy

1209
01:11:58,080 --> 01:12:02,160
Speaker 2: from that. It could be tonight, in fact, could be

1210
01:12:02,200 --> 01:12:03,799
Speaker 2: in the next hour and fifteen minutes.

1211
01:12:06,439 --> 01:12:11,800
Speaker 5: Wow, Okay, so he coming to LA huh.

1212
01:12:12,280 --> 01:12:14,720
Speaker 2: I certainly wouldn't be surprised, would you?

1213
01:12:15,520 --> 01:12:18,960
Speaker 4: Of course not? Why wouldn't and on his why wouldn't he.

1214
01:12:18,920 --> 01:12:21,240
Speaker 2: Want to come here because he's in New York.

1215
01:12:22,479 --> 01:12:24,559
Speaker 4: And that's it.

1216
01:12:24,680 --> 01:12:25,599
Speaker 3: He's in New York.

1217
01:12:25,640 --> 01:12:30,560
Speaker 2: And I've been told for years that Juan Soto is

1218
01:12:30,920 --> 01:12:33,360
Speaker 2: that kind of guy, and I know that he's not.

1219
01:12:33,360 --> 01:12:34,439
Speaker 3: A homegrown dude.

1220
01:12:34,479 --> 01:12:39,600
Speaker 2: But free agents of that size don't often leave the Yankees.

1221
01:12:41,040 --> 01:12:43,000
Speaker 3: They just don't, you know.

1222
01:12:43,280 --> 01:12:45,439
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not gonna say it can't happen, and

1223
01:12:45,479 --> 01:12:47,640
Speaker 2: it won't happen. And in fact, if you asked me

1224
01:12:47,720 --> 01:12:50,360
Speaker 2: to bet, I will bet that he'll leave the Yankees,

1225
01:12:50,400 --> 01:12:54,320
Speaker 2: but not for the Dodgers. I think he'll leave the

1226
01:12:54,400 --> 01:12:58,680
Speaker 2: Yankees for the Mets because he's a New York kind

1227
01:12:58,680 --> 01:12:59,040
Speaker 2: of a guy.

1228
01:13:00,000 --> 01:13:01,439
Speaker 4: Okay, who's offering what?

1229
01:13:02,840 --> 01:13:06,400
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know, but we've certainly had a number

1230
01:13:06,439 --> 01:13:10,320
Speaker 2: of reports that suggest that right now, to have a

1231
01:13:10,400 --> 01:13:13,320
Speaker 2: seat at the table, you need to bring your seven

1232
01:13:13,400 --> 01:13:21,920
Speaker 2: hundred million dollars. Now, I'm seeing reports that the Yankees

1233
01:13:23,040 --> 01:13:27,479
Speaker 2: are pushing upward from there. But that Steve Cohen who

1234
01:13:27,479 --> 01:13:30,760
Speaker 2: owns the Mets, and this wouldn't surprise me either. He's

1235
01:13:30,840 --> 01:13:41,479
Speaker 2: comfortable with changing that number seven to eight m and

1236
01:13:41,560 --> 01:13:47,080
Speaker 2: if he does, no one will join him.

1237
01:13:47,479 --> 01:13:55,280
Speaker 5: No, no, But look, it's it's it's going to be great.

1238
01:13:56,320 --> 01:13:58,479
Speaker 4: It's cold in New York right now. It's nice out here.

1239
01:14:00,520 --> 01:14:02,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's not baseball season.

1240
01:14:02,160 --> 01:14:05,080
Speaker 2: So for seven hundred million dollars, you go wherever the

1241
01:14:05,080 --> 01:14:07,439
Speaker 2: hell you want for Christmas.

1242
01:14:06,520 --> 01:14:09,400
Speaker 4: That's true.

1243
01:14:09,800 --> 01:14:11,760
Speaker 2: You'd be in Mexico for all on the.

1244
01:14:11,720 --> 01:14:13,920
Speaker 4: West coast, man, come on to the West coast.

1245
01:14:14,160 --> 01:14:14,720
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1246
01:14:14,880 --> 01:14:18,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh listen, I mean I get it.

1247
01:14:18,960 --> 01:14:22,640
Speaker 2: Believe me. It was. It was felt in uh in

1248
01:14:22,720 --> 01:14:26,200
Speaker 2: San Francisco when Blake Snell this was so funny to me.

1249
01:14:26,320 --> 01:14:30,160
Speaker 2: Nobody knows this spring training last year when he signed,

1250
01:14:31,000 --> 01:14:34,280
Speaker 2: they asked him about like why'd you you know, like

1251
01:14:34,520 --> 01:14:36,680
Speaker 2: why'd you pick the Giants? And are you.

1252
01:14:36,760 --> 01:14:38,560
Speaker 3: Cool playing in San Francisco?

1253
01:14:39,760 --> 01:14:42,280
Speaker 2: And he's like, I'm gonna be real with you, man,

1254
01:14:42,920 --> 01:14:47,160
Speaker 2: like this is a one year deal and we're traveling

1255
01:14:47,200 --> 01:14:51,760
Speaker 2: the entire time, so it doesn't matter as much as

1256
01:14:51,760 --> 01:14:55,720
Speaker 2: you think it does where we play. And then he

1257
01:14:55,800 --> 01:14:58,479
Speaker 2: signs with the Dodgers and his quote was, this is

1258
01:14:58,520 --> 01:15:02,639
Speaker 2: where you want to play it? Oh?

1259
01:15:03,040 --> 01:15:05,960
Speaker 3: Yes, that made me laugh. That made me laugh. Yeah.

1260
01:15:06,160 --> 01:15:07,880
Speaker 2: Why wouldn't you want to be a part of it?

1261
01:15:09,520 --> 01:15:11,160
Speaker 2: If you're a player, why wouldn't you want to be

1262
01:15:11,200 --> 01:15:13,040
Speaker 2: a part of it. You get paid for the rest

1263
01:15:13,040 --> 01:15:18,479
Speaker 2: of your career and then the rest of your life too. Yeah,

1264
01:15:18,520 --> 01:15:20,360
Speaker 2: so I don't I don't begrudge any player, and I

1265
01:15:20,360 --> 01:15:22,679
Speaker 2: don't even begrudge the Dodgers for doing it because it's

1266
01:15:22,680 --> 01:15:25,320
Speaker 2: within the rules. I don't know that it should be

1267
01:15:25,360 --> 01:15:29,120
Speaker 2: within the rules, but it is, so why not do it?

1268
01:15:29,160 --> 01:15:30,559
Speaker 2: And of course I'm talking about all the.

1269
01:15:30,520 --> 01:15:33,360
Speaker 4: Deferrals, defer, deferred defer.

1270
01:15:34,040 --> 01:15:40,840
Speaker 2: They're up at a billion dollars. Ephraim nice just in defer, Yeah,

1271
01:15:41,439 --> 01:15:48,840
Speaker 2: just in deferrals, one billion dollars. Good for the game.

1272
01:15:50,840 --> 01:15:56,320
Speaker 4: No, No, I don't like it because you can do anything.

1273
01:15:57,840 --> 01:15:59,160
Speaker 2: Yes, you can, and they have.

1274
01:16:01,040 --> 01:16:02,479
Speaker 4: That's why I don't count them out. Man.

1275
01:16:03,600 --> 01:16:05,400
Speaker 2: Oh I don't know, I don't.

1276
01:16:07,360 --> 01:16:08,799
Speaker 4: Could you imagine that lineup?

1277
01:16:10,200 --> 01:16:12,640
Speaker 2: Well, the report is that they told him that he

1278
01:16:12,640 --> 01:16:16,719
Speaker 2: would bat second behind show Heeo Tani and in front

1279
01:16:16,760 --> 01:16:17,559
Speaker 2: of Muki backs.

1280
01:16:17,560 --> 01:16:19,280
Speaker 4: Oh god, that's sweet spot.

1281
01:16:19,360 --> 01:16:21,880
Speaker 3: With Freddie Freeman coming up when the business loaded.

1282
01:16:22,880 --> 01:16:23,480
Speaker 4: Gracious.

1283
01:16:23,800 --> 01:16:28,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, they might win one hundred and thirty games.

1284
01:16:28,160 --> 01:16:31,920
Speaker 2: Man, they might, they might, you know, But I'd also

1285
01:16:31,960 --> 01:16:39,759
Speaker 2: say again, like as a larger sport, I'm a big

1286
01:16:39,800 --> 01:16:47,440
Speaker 2: believer in big brands. Great teams. That's all true. However,

1287
01:16:49,080 --> 01:16:51,479
Speaker 2: you know, when we think of super teams, we often

1288
01:16:51,479 --> 01:16:52,799
Speaker 2: are talking about the NBA.

1289
01:16:54,760 --> 01:16:57,320
Speaker 3: You have a soft cap there.

1290
01:16:58,040 --> 01:17:00,320
Speaker 2: Yes, there are some teams that have a little more

1291
01:17:00,360 --> 01:17:02,240
Speaker 2: in the way of resource, but you don't in the

1292
01:17:02,320 --> 01:17:06,280
Speaker 2: NBA have an Oakland A's or a Sacramento A's or

1293
01:17:06,320 --> 01:17:09,400
Speaker 2: whatever the hell they're going to call themselves. Now, where

1294
01:17:09,439 --> 01:17:12,040
Speaker 2: there are teams that just don't pay anything, you don't

1295
01:17:12,080 --> 01:17:15,679
Speaker 2: really have that, But in baseball you do. So it's

1296
01:17:15,720 --> 01:17:18,680
Speaker 2: like you could put this lineup together and it'd be

1297
01:17:18,720 --> 01:17:20,960
Speaker 2: fun to watch and they'll win all the games. But

1298
01:17:21,000 --> 01:17:24,680
Speaker 2: who did they beat? And so what you end up

1299
01:17:24,720 --> 01:17:27,599
Speaker 2: with is very much like an Alabama versus of the

1300
01:17:27,640 --> 01:17:29,200
Speaker 2: Citadel type of field.

1301
01:17:31,160 --> 01:17:33,040
Speaker 3: And so I don't know.

1302
01:17:33,080 --> 01:17:35,280
Speaker 2: If I were Rob Benford, I'd be like, are the

1303
01:17:35,320 --> 01:17:38,360
Speaker 2: rest of you in other cities? Are you watching this?

1304
01:17:38,520 --> 01:17:41,040
Speaker 2: Do you care anymore? If we just put all of

1305
01:17:41,080 --> 01:17:42,559
Speaker 2: the good players on two teams?

1306
01:17:43,600 --> 01:17:50,600
Speaker 3: I don't know. I want to disenfranchise the whole audience.

1307
01:17:50,280 --> 01:17:50,800
Speaker 2: Do you know?

1308
01:17:50,960 --> 01:17:53,600
Speaker 5: But that's I mean, I'm sure that number on that

1309
01:17:53,680 --> 01:17:55,480
Speaker 5: World Series was unbelievable.

1310
01:17:56,479 --> 01:17:57,160
Speaker 3: Oh for sure.

1311
01:17:57,200 --> 01:17:58,920
Speaker 4: Should they sign up for that every year?

1312
01:17:59,600 --> 01:18:05,360
Speaker 2: Yep? Yep, But I do wonder about the gate in

1313
01:18:05,479 --> 01:18:10,200
Speaker 2: Kansas City and Pittsburgh and et cetera. You know, at

1314
01:18:10,200 --> 01:18:12,240
Speaker 2: what point are people just like, what are we doing?

1315
01:18:13,040 --> 01:18:13,120
Speaker 5: Like?

1316
01:18:13,200 --> 01:18:17,360
Speaker 2: What what is this? Right? Why are the kindergarteners playing

1317
01:18:17,360 --> 01:18:19,559
Speaker 2: the fifth graders? Why are we doing this kind of

1318
01:18:19,560 --> 01:18:20,400
Speaker 2: open up the book?

1319
01:18:20,479 --> 01:18:22,880
Speaker 4: Man, everybody got an opportunity.

1320
01:18:24,360 --> 01:18:25,639
Speaker 3: Well, no, that's not true.

1321
01:18:26,040 --> 01:18:30,000
Speaker 2: Like, yes they do, but not everybody can defer a

1322
01:18:30,040 --> 01:18:31,960
Speaker 2: billion dollars.

1323
01:18:33,760 --> 01:18:35,639
Speaker 3: M right.

1324
01:18:35,840 --> 01:18:38,559
Speaker 2: Everybody's got a rich person or rich people up there.

1325
01:18:39,600 --> 01:18:41,799
Speaker 2: Not everybody's got the Guggenheim group.

1326
01:18:46,280 --> 01:18:52,640
Speaker 4: So I mean, the Yankees bought championships for years.

1327
01:18:52,360 --> 01:18:57,599
Speaker 2: So sure, yeah, oh yeah again, I'm not coming down

1328
01:18:57,600 --> 01:19:01,559
Speaker 2: the Dodgers road. If you can do it, do it

1329
01:19:01,600 --> 01:19:04,320
Speaker 2: any means possible within the rules. I'm a fan of.

1330
01:19:05,560 --> 01:19:07,360
Speaker 2: I just don't know, I don't know if it should

1331
01:19:07,400 --> 01:19:10,559
Speaker 2: be within the rules. So that's kind of what I'm

1332
01:19:10,600 --> 01:19:14,240
Speaker 2: getting at all. Right, we do still have the NFC

1333
01:19:14,280 --> 01:19:18,000
Speaker 2: North around the corner. Plus, I think I think since

1334
01:19:18,120 --> 01:19:22,960
Speaker 2: Brian Windhorse and others have been talking this week about

1335
01:19:23,160 --> 01:19:27,000
Speaker 2: Lebron James and the Warriors, feel like you and I

1336
01:19:27,080 --> 01:19:28,959
Speaker 2: should probably talk this out for a second.

1337
01:19:28,760 --> 01:19:30,400
Speaker 4: Don't you? Think, okay, let's do it.

1338
01:19:30,640 --> 01:19:34,080
Speaker 2: We should probably we'll talked this out for a second.

1339
01:19:34,120 --> 01:19:36,000
Speaker 3: We'll do that coming up next.

1340
01:19:39,280 --> 01:19:43,680
Speaker 2: All right, it is Week fourteen NFL Action. We'll all

1341
01:19:43,680 --> 01:19:48,000

1345
01:20:00,720 --> 01:20:04,559
Speaker 2: We are going to dive into the NFC North. We're

1346
01:20:04,560 --> 01:20:07,640
Speaker 2: going to get into a little bit of the Lakers

1347
01:20:07,680 --> 01:20:11,880
Speaker 2: and the Warriors and Lebron and Steph and we're also

1348
01:20:12,000 --> 01:20:15,439
Speaker 2: following into the second half and following the Justin Herbert

1349
01:20:15,439 --> 01:20:20,599
Speaker 2: injury in the situation with the big bad Kansas City Chiefs.

1350
01:20:21,800 --> 01:20:25,280
Speaker 2: Maybe it feels kind of like an obvious answer, because

1351
01:20:25,280 --> 01:20:29,240
Speaker 2: I get how everybody feels about Detroit right now. Twelve

1352
01:20:29,240 --> 01:20:32,320
Speaker 2: and one looks like they've got a fast track to

1353
01:20:32,360 --> 01:20:34,960
Speaker 2: home field advantage, but then again, who knows.

1354
01:20:35,040 --> 01:20:36,719
Speaker 3: They still got to play the Vikings again.

1355
01:20:36,760 --> 01:20:38,919
Speaker 2: I know they got a game in hand against them,

1356
01:20:39,080 --> 01:20:43,439
Speaker 2: they're four to zeroing their division. But I like watching

1357
01:20:43,479 --> 01:20:46,160
Speaker 2: the Packers go in there on Thursday night. Gave them

1358
01:20:46,200 --> 01:20:48,559
Speaker 2: everything they could handle, didn't win the football game. I

1359
01:20:48,640 --> 01:20:53,960
Speaker 2: understand that. But how if somebody landed here from another

1360
01:20:54,000 --> 01:20:58,479
Speaker 2: planet and said, describe the differences in these three teams

1361
01:20:58,880 --> 01:21:00,840
Speaker 2: and their chances come January.

1362
01:21:00,880 --> 01:21:12,200
Speaker 5: What would you say the differences between Detroit.

1363
01:21:12,280 --> 01:21:16,040
Speaker 4: Lions, Vikings, Vikings and Packers.

1364
01:21:16,400 --> 01:21:26,240
Speaker 5: I'd say, hmmm, that's good man, that's a that's a

1365
01:21:26,360 --> 01:21:28,000
Speaker 5: that's a tough one.

1366
01:21:29,200 --> 01:21:31,559
Speaker 2: Can you see the Lions as head and shoulders ahead

1367
01:21:31,640 --> 01:21:32,160
Speaker 2: or no?

1368
01:21:32,160 --> 01:21:37,559
Speaker 5: No, no, because look, look, I like the Lions. I

1369
01:21:37,720 --> 01:21:41,800
Speaker 5: like who they've become. I like the fact that they've changed,

1370
01:21:43,920 --> 01:21:51,120
Speaker 5: you know, the fundamental direction of that team. The culture

1371
01:21:51,200 --> 01:21:54,519
Speaker 5: is completely different. I know, I spent some time in

1372
01:21:54,600 --> 01:21:59,760
Speaker 5: Detroit with the Lions. It is not your father's Lions team.

1373
01:22:01,920 --> 01:22:05,360
Speaker 5: The problem I have, and this is a big problem,

1374
01:22:05,520 --> 01:22:10,760
Speaker 5: because it stems from the leadership. The very same leadership

1375
01:22:10,800 --> 01:22:14,920
Speaker 5: that had had to force its way to change the

1376
01:22:15,000 --> 01:22:20,400
Speaker 5: culture is the same leadership I don't trust. And so

1377
01:22:20,640 --> 01:22:25,280
Speaker 5: when I look at them talent wise, there's talented as anybody,

1378
01:22:25,360 --> 01:22:30,439
Speaker 5: if not talent more talent than anybody in the league.

1379
01:22:30,520 --> 01:22:34,880
Speaker 5: They got a real gun slinger at quarterback. They got

1380
01:22:34,960 --> 01:22:40,400
Speaker 5: some bona fide dogs on the outside. They got about

1381
01:22:40,439 --> 01:22:46,880
Speaker 5: three running backs that can just eat you alive. And

1382
01:22:46,960 --> 01:22:51,839
Speaker 5: their defense is holding strong even without their best player available,

1383
01:22:51,920 --> 01:22:56,080
Speaker 5: even without a bevy of their best players. Their injury

1384
01:22:56,080 --> 01:22:59,519
Speaker 5: on the defense, their injuries on the defensive side of

1385
01:22:59,560 --> 01:23:04,760
Speaker 5: the ball, is what gives me great pause because eventually,

1386
01:23:05,160 --> 01:23:07,719
Speaker 5: at a certain point, if those guys don't start coming back.

1387
01:23:08,000 --> 01:23:11,080
Speaker 5: And I'm not talking about eight Nutchinson, he's probably done

1388
01:23:11,200 --> 01:23:12,880
Speaker 5: unless they play in the super Bowl and he does

1389
01:23:12,920 --> 01:23:16,760
Speaker 5: something miraculous. But outside of that, they're missing guys all

1390
01:23:16,800 --> 01:23:20,200
Speaker 5: across the board. I'm talking about they played in that

1391
01:23:20,240 --> 01:23:24,599
Speaker 5: game Thursday with guys they just met that they just met,

1392
01:23:25,680 --> 01:23:29,960
Speaker 5: and so that, on top of the injuries and on

1393
01:23:30,000 --> 01:23:33,759
Speaker 5: top of the decision making, is the thing that gives

1394
01:23:33,800 --> 01:23:37,400
Speaker 5: me pause. Now, I like Green Bay. Green Bay has

1395
01:23:37,439 --> 01:23:39,880
Speaker 5: a young core. They grew up a lot from last year.

1396
01:23:40,920 --> 01:23:46,320
Speaker 5: Jordan Love is also a gunslinger, I like Matt Lafleur,

1397
01:23:47,439 --> 01:23:50,880
Speaker 5: and they're just playing well. They will get pressure on

1398
01:23:50,920 --> 01:23:54,800
Speaker 5: the quarter but they will get after you, and so

1399
01:23:56,680 --> 01:24:01,639
Speaker 5: I you know, with those type of quarterbacks, you'll always

1400
01:24:01,680 --> 01:24:03,920
Speaker 5: be in the game. Right, Jordan Love can make every

1401
01:24:03,960 --> 01:24:06,920
Speaker 5: throw right. No one saw this, I guess well they

1402
01:24:06,960 --> 01:24:10,320
Speaker 5: saw it. Coming, especially after the way they started last

1403
01:24:10,400 --> 01:24:12,640
Speaker 5: year and the way they ended. They just picked right

1404
01:24:12,720 --> 01:24:14,720
Speaker 5: up where they left off, which is is great, that's

1405
01:24:14,760 --> 01:24:18,600
Speaker 5: what you need. And for the Minnesota Vikings, it's like

1406
01:24:19,600 --> 01:24:24,320
Speaker 5: they're playing with house money because this is unexpected. This

1407
01:24:24,400 --> 01:24:31,240
Speaker 5: is that they have the best receiver in football, they

1408
01:24:31,280 --> 01:24:34,040
Speaker 5: have a quarterback trying to prove something and extend his

1409
01:24:34,160 --> 01:24:39,479
Speaker 5: career as a starter, and their defense has always been solid.

1410
01:24:40,240 --> 01:24:43,559
Speaker 5: So who do I see? Who do I see in

1411
01:24:43,640 --> 01:24:54,719
Speaker 5: that's in this scenario separating themselves? Man, I'd have to say,

1412
01:24:56,680 --> 01:24:59,240
Speaker 5: so this is really tough. Well I thought I would

1413
01:24:59,240 --> 01:25:01,280
Speaker 5: at least talk my self into an answer.

1414
01:25:01,640 --> 01:25:06,040
Speaker 2: I know that. Why don't I play it out? Why

1415
01:25:06,040 --> 01:25:07,400
Speaker 2: don't we try to play it out a little bit?

1416
01:25:07,439 --> 01:25:12,960
Speaker 2: With the numbers? So Lions one seed, Eagles, two seed,

1417
01:25:13,960 --> 01:25:16,679
Speaker 2: three seed, four seed, I don't care, and I don't

1418
01:25:16,680 --> 01:25:21,320
Speaker 2: care just for the moment, right whoever wins the South,

1419
01:25:21,320 --> 01:25:23,400
Speaker 2: whoever wins the West, if you want to call that

1420
01:25:23,479 --> 01:25:27,800
Speaker 2: Tampa Bay in Seattle, they've got the inside tracks right now. Okay, fine,

1421
01:25:28,880 --> 01:25:32,160
Speaker 2: there's your three and your four, Your five is Minnesota,

1422
01:25:32,680 --> 01:25:35,400
Speaker 2: your six is Green Bay, and your seven is I

1423
01:25:35,400 --> 01:25:41,439
Speaker 2: don't care. That's either Washington or the Rams. Maybe the

1424
01:25:41,600 --> 01:25:44,479
Speaker 2: Falcons are forty nine ers or Cardinals can get into

1425
01:25:44,560 --> 01:25:49,439
Speaker 2: this conversation. But if we do spotlight those four teams,

1426
01:25:49,840 --> 01:25:52,759
Speaker 2: you're looking at a buy for the Lions. You're looking

1427
01:25:52,800 --> 01:25:55,439
Speaker 2: at an opening game for the Eagles where they're hosting

1428
01:25:55,439 --> 01:25:59,080
Speaker 2: a team that's barely five hundred. Maybe it is the

1429
01:25:59,200 --> 01:26:02,360
Speaker 2: Washington Command, maybe it is the Los Angeles Rams. Not

1430
01:26:02,360 --> 01:26:05,200
Speaker 2: saying that can't be a game, but that's that one.

1431
01:26:05,800 --> 01:26:09,599
Speaker 2: But then look at the Lions. I'm sorry. The Vikings

1432
01:26:09,600 --> 01:26:15,000
Speaker 2: and the Packers headed directly to the homes of the

1433
01:26:15,040 --> 01:26:18,880
Speaker 2: division winners of the South and the West, and they'll

1434
01:26:18,880 --> 01:26:19,840
Speaker 2: be favored in those games.

1435
01:26:21,600 --> 01:26:23,000
Speaker 3: They'll be favored in those games.

1436
01:26:23,560 --> 01:26:26,320
Speaker 2: I don't know that this will happen, because life doesn't

1437
01:26:26,360 --> 01:26:31,880
Speaker 2: work this way. But the way it should go if

1438
01:26:31,880 --> 01:26:35,800
Speaker 2: the NFC is defined as we think it is right now,

1439
01:26:37,439 --> 01:26:41,920
Speaker 2: is that Week two in the NFC playoffs, the Philadelphia

1440
01:26:41,960 --> 01:26:45,920
Speaker 2: Eagles will host the Minnesota Vikings and the Detroit Lions

1441
01:26:45,920 --> 01:26:48,920
Speaker 2: will host the Green Bay Packers. And for everybody who

1442
01:26:48,960 --> 01:26:51,599
Speaker 2: thinks that the Lions are going to the Super Bowl,

1443
01:26:52,000 --> 01:26:54,920
Speaker 2: take a moment to spotlight what their playoff looks like.

1444
01:26:55,640 --> 01:27:01,400
Speaker 2: It goes by Packers and then either Vikings or Eagles.

1445
01:27:02,560 --> 01:27:05,479
Speaker 2: That's about as hard of a one seed run as

1446
01:27:05,520 --> 01:27:06,120
Speaker 2: I could think of.

1447
01:27:06,320 --> 01:27:07,400
Speaker 4: That's gonna be pretty tough.

1448
01:27:07,760 --> 01:27:08,479
Speaker 3: That's hard.

1449
01:27:09,520 --> 01:27:12,280
Speaker 7: You got back to back games, and it's gonna be

1450
01:27:12,320 --> 01:27:16,080
Speaker 7: against double digit win teams who are very, very capable,

1451
01:27:16,520 --> 01:27:18,920
Speaker 7: and you have a coach who will be going forward

1452
01:27:18,960 --> 01:27:19,720
Speaker 7: on fourth and three.

1453
01:27:21,040 --> 01:27:23,720
Speaker 5: That's not gonna bowl well for them. It's not, man,

1454
01:27:23,800 --> 01:27:27,360
Speaker 5: it's gonna be bad. It's against those that caliber of

1455
01:27:27,360 --> 01:27:30,880
Speaker 5: teams in the playoffs. Points are premium in the playoffs.

1456
01:27:30,920 --> 01:27:33,679
Speaker 5: Any point you can get, whether it be one, two, three,

1457
01:27:34,880 --> 01:27:39,639
Speaker 5: you gotta get him. And he will give. He will

1458
01:27:39,680 --> 01:27:44,080
Speaker 5: believe points out there by the boat load, just to

1459
01:27:44,160 --> 01:27:52,720
Speaker 5: prove a point. And that that is what that is

1460
01:27:52,760 --> 01:27:58,320
Speaker 5: what frightens me about about them, Not from a talent standpoint,

1461
01:27:58,360 --> 01:28:02,040
Speaker 5: but literally from a decision making standpoint. That hole, this

1462
01:28:02,080 --> 01:28:03,840
Speaker 5: is who we are and this is how we got here.

1463
01:28:04,240 --> 01:28:09,960
Speaker 5: That does not work in the playoffs, man, it doesn't.

1464
01:28:10,160 --> 01:28:13,519
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a challenge. The Packers are not going

1465
01:28:13,600 --> 01:28:17,479
Speaker 2: to be scared of the Lions. No, the Vikings and

1466
01:28:17,520 --> 01:28:19,519
Speaker 2: Eagles will not be scared of the Lions.

1467
01:28:19,560 --> 01:28:21,800
Speaker 4: They will not and they're gonna put pressure on them.

1468
01:28:22,320 --> 01:28:24,320
Speaker 3: And let me add one more thing. For Detroit.

1469
01:28:26,080 --> 01:28:29,880
Speaker 2: We watched it to a certain degree last year as

1470
01:28:29,920 --> 01:28:32,519
Speaker 2: they had a twenty four to seven lead in Santa

1471
01:28:32,520 --> 01:28:36,040
Speaker 2: Clara at halftime. It came out in the second half

1472
01:28:36,200 --> 01:28:38,720
Speaker 2: and you start looking at the faces of everybody on

1473
01:28:38,760 --> 01:28:43,120
Speaker 2: the sideline, and the weight of the city and its

1474
01:28:43,200 --> 01:28:50,880
Speaker 2: history suddenly starts showing how firm it is. And you

1475
01:28:50,920 --> 01:28:53,920
Speaker 2: could see it. As soon as the forty nine ers

1476
01:28:53,920 --> 01:28:58,879
Speaker 2: started to make their comeback. Everybody's face and their Adams

1477
01:28:58,880 --> 01:29:03,280
Speaker 2: apples all got big. It was like, gope, because it

1478
01:29:03,479 --> 01:29:08,920
Speaker 2: means so much so those fans, those players. It's almost

1479
01:29:08,960 --> 01:29:11,400
Speaker 2: like you have to deal with sifting through your own

1480
01:29:11,560 --> 01:29:14,960
Speaker 2: emotions as much as executing a football play.

1481
01:29:16,000 --> 01:29:17,120
Speaker 3: Well, flash forward to.

1482
01:29:17,080 --> 01:29:19,599
Speaker 2: This January and it is my belief from that they're

1483
01:29:19,640 --> 01:29:21,160
Speaker 2: gonna They're gonna be doing that.

1484
01:29:21,160 --> 01:29:24,960
Speaker 3: Again, but this time in front of those fans.

1485
01:29:27,160 --> 01:29:29,280
Speaker 2: And I just don't know that I can think of

1486
01:29:29,880 --> 01:29:33,799
Speaker 2: something that's a comp like this, which is, let's pretend

1487
01:29:33,880 --> 01:29:37,160
Speaker 2: that the NFC Championship game is at Ford Field in

1488
01:29:37,240 --> 01:29:41,000
Speaker 2: Detroit and the game is tied in the fourth quarter

1489
01:29:41,040 --> 01:29:46,280
Speaker 2: with five minutes ago. I like I don't. I don't

1490
01:29:46,439 --> 01:29:51,080
Speaker 2: know if there's tension anywhere that matches that, Like that's

1491
01:29:51,240 --> 01:29:56,160
Speaker 2: just like fans crying immediately just because kind of stuff.

1492
01:29:57,320 --> 01:30:00,400
Speaker 2: And you may say, hey, they're professionals, that's the job

1493
01:30:00,439 --> 01:30:05,519
Speaker 2: to just whatever, like work through that. But man, the

1494
01:30:05,640 --> 01:30:09,880
Speaker 2: pressure is going to be so intense for that football team.

1495
01:30:10,000 --> 01:30:17,800
Speaker 4: Oh, it is unbearable. Unbearable. Man.

1496
01:30:17,880 --> 01:30:20,040
Speaker 5: I hope, I hope we are not having one of

1497
01:30:20,080 --> 01:30:26,120
Speaker 5: these conversations after a playoff game, fourth down and we're like, man,

1498
01:30:27,120 --> 01:30:29,639
Speaker 5: he left nine points out there on the on the field.

1499
01:30:32,040 --> 01:30:34,599
Speaker 2: By the way, I think he's got a kicker who's

1500
01:30:34,640 --> 01:30:36,080
Speaker 2: missed one field goal this year.

1501
01:30:36,240 --> 01:30:43,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, that part I won't to use him.

1502
01:30:43,479 --> 01:30:47,120
Speaker 2: That part they might want to use him. All right,

1503
01:30:47,560 --> 01:30:52,360
Speaker 2: let's we promised Lebron rumors and I don't know if

1504
01:30:52,400 --> 01:30:53,880
Speaker 2: that's the right word for it yet.

1505
01:30:54,560 --> 01:30:57,600
Speaker 3: Speculation is the correct word. It's nothing more than that.

1506
01:30:58,600 --> 01:31:00,920
Speaker 2: But it's also coming up for the second time, and

1507
01:31:01,000 --> 01:31:03,960
Speaker 2: I believe there's a reason for that. So let's get

1508
01:31:04,000 --> 01:31:06,280
Speaker 2: to that. Coming up next with E from Salam, Mark

1517
01:31:38,720 --> 01:31:42,320
Speaker 6: have agreed to a fifteen year deal with outfielder Juan

1518
01:31:42,479 --> 01:31:47,519
Speaker 6: Soto worth seven hundred and sixty five million dollars. No

1519
01:31:47,720 --> 01:31:51,360
Speaker 6: money deferred. Oh, there's an opt out after five years.

1520
01:31:51,520 --> 01:31:55,760
Speaker 6: New York Post says the Yankees offered sixteen years, not fifteen,

1521
01:31:55,800 --> 01:31:59,040
Speaker 6: but a little less money. Juan Soto is a Met

1522
01:31:59,200 --> 01:32:01,120
Speaker 6: on a fifth teen year deal.

1523
01:32:02,720 --> 01:32:06,360
Speaker 4: Wow, that just landed in our laps.

1524
01:32:06,800 --> 01:32:09,840
Speaker 2: I mean we said an hour ago. I'm like, I'm

1525
01:32:09,880 --> 01:32:12,719
Speaker 2: seeing it everybody. I don't know if they're right or wrong.

1526
01:32:12,800 --> 01:32:15,519

Speaker 4: Oh my goodness.

1528
01:32:17,280 --> 01:32:20,760
Speaker 2: And it did. And by the way, when Steve says

1529
01:32:20,800 --> 01:32:24,000
Speaker 2: the Yankees reportedly offered a little less money, he really

1530
01:32:24,080 --> 01:32:27,160
Speaker 2: means a little less money instead of seven hundred and

1531
01:32:27,160 --> 01:32:30,519
Speaker 2: sixty five, they'd offered seven hundred and sixty But yes,

1532
01:32:31,080 --> 01:32:36,240
Speaker 2: over an additional year, right, sixteen years as opposed to fifteen,

1533
01:32:37,120 --> 01:32:39,120
Speaker 2: so the aav a little bit different.

1534
01:32:39,760 --> 01:32:42,240
Speaker 4: Would you lose him for a year?

1535
01:32:43,320 --> 01:32:47,280
Speaker 2: I don't like. I'm just I'm not built for this.

1536
01:32:47,960 --> 01:32:52,840
Speaker 2: I'm just not Like if somebody was like fifteen for

1537
01:32:53,000 --> 01:32:55,719
Speaker 2: seven sixty five and the Yankees are like, we can't

1538
01:32:55,760 --> 01:33:01,280
Speaker 2: go a penny over seven sixty what, Like, what the

1539
01:33:01,400 --> 01:33:03,320
Speaker 2: hell's another five million dollars?

1540
01:33:03,400 --> 01:33:03,719
Speaker 4: Nothing?

1541
01:33:04,120 --> 01:33:05,040
Speaker 3: What are we doing?

1542
01:33:05,120 --> 01:33:09,479
Speaker 2: Like why wouldn't you why wouldn't you match that? That's

1543
01:33:09,560 --> 01:33:10,519
Speaker 2: so weird to me.

1544
01:33:10,800 --> 01:33:15,360
Speaker 4: Oh man, so he doesn't have to move or anything.

1545
01:33:15,680 --> 01:33:18,800
Speaker 3: Nope, Nope, no, man, it was New York.

1546
01:33:18,920 --> 01:33:20,240
Speaker 2: It was always New York.

1547
01:33:21,200 --> 01:33:23,040
Speaker 3: I really believe it was always New York.

1548
01:33:24,560 --> 01:33:25,679
Speaker 4: Wow, that's a big deal.

1549
01:33:26,360 --> 01:33:31,120
Speaker 2: Fifteen years, seven hundred and sixty five million dollars.

1550
01:33:30,800 --> 01:33:33,800
Speaker 4: And show a show it was uh ten for seven

1551
01:33:33,840 --> 01:33:34,639
Speaker 4: hundred right.

1552
01:33:34,840 --> 01:33:38,639
Speaker 2: Right, but but six hundred and ninety nine million point

1553
01:33:38,800 --> 01:33:44,000
Speaker 2: nine nine nine nine deferred? Yeah, I think show he

1554
01:33:44,120 --> 01:33:47,400
Speaker 2: got like twenty million dollars over the current life of

1555
01:33:47,439 --> 01:33:48,200
Speaker 2: his deal.

1556
01:33:51,200 --> 01:33:53,479
Speaker 3: And that and that one was only for ten right.

1557
01:33:53,640 --> 01:33:54,439
Speaker 4: Ten years years?

1558
01:33:54,520 --> 01:33:57,160
Speaker 2: Ten years? Yeah, And he's much older than Soto, So

1559
01:34:00,560 --> 01:34:02,800
Speaker 2: I like the way Bob Nightingale wrote it, he goes

1560
01:34:02,840 --> 01:34:05,880
Speaker 2: he's got an opt out after five seasons, just in

1561
01:34:06,000 --> 01:34:10,240
Speaker 2: case he's somehow undervalued. After the twenty twenty nine season.

1562
01:34:13,479 --> 01:34:16,320
Speaker 5: Oh my god, this this baseball season is gonna be

1563
01:34:16,400 --> 01:34:16,920
Speaker 5: something else.

Speaker 3: New York Mets literal answer, Oh.

1565
01:34:21,439 --> 01:34:23,360
Speaker 4: I waited that playoff series again.

1566
01:34:24,640 --> 01:34:27,280
Speaker 2: And by the way, for those who don't want to

1567
01:34:27,320 --> 01:34:29,599
Speaker 2: do the quick math, that, yeah, that is fifty one

1568
01:34:30,520 --> 01:34:31,720
Speaker 2: million dollars per year.

1569

01:35:04,760 --> 01:35:07,800
Speaker 2: It won that long ago that the Washington Nationals offered

1581
01:35:07,880 --> 01:35:10,960
Speaker 2: him a little bit over four hundred million dollars, and

1582
01:35:11,040 --> 01:35:17,240
Speaker 2: one was like no, and people were like, you turned down.

1583
01:35:18,640 --> 01:35:21,080
Speaker 3: Four hundred.

1584
01:35:22,000 --> 01:35:25,880
Speaker 5: Half a billion dollars. I turned it down for three

1585
01:35:25,960 --> 01:35:27,240
Speaker 5: quarters of a billion dollars.

1586
01:35:27,760 --> 01:35:30,200
Speaker 3: Exactly. I did, because.

1587
01:35:31,360 --> 01:35:34,040
Speaker 2: They were like, maybe you'll like, maybe you'll get five

1588
01:35:34,120 --> 01:35:37,960
Speaker 2: hundred sure or six or seven or more than halfway

1589
01:35:38,000 --> 01:35:43,400
Speaker 2: to eight. He was right, he was right, right, And

1590
01:35:43,439 --> 01:35:45,599
Speaker 2: I don't you know, it doesn't matter that almost half

1591
01:35:45,640 --> 01:35:49,320
Speaker 2: a billion dollars, Like, there's no way, right, Wan Soto

1592
01:35:49,439 --> 01:35:52,320
Speaker 2: is he couldn't spend this much money in his lifetime

1593
01:35:52,400 --> 01:35:56,479
Speaker 2: even if he tried. But it doesn't matter. That's that's

1594
01:35:56,560 --> 01:35:59,719
Speaker 2: a hell of an additional asset. He basically just got

1595
01:35:59,800 --> 01:36:03,559
Speaker 2: three three, one hundred and forty million more dollars by

1596
01:36:03,600 --> 01:36:04,280
Speaker 2: saying no to.

1597
01:36:04,240 --> 01:36:05,320
Speaker 3: The Washington Nationals.

1598
01:36:05,360 --> 01:36:07,800
Speaker 4: What two years ago? Y?

1599
01:36:08,439 --> 01:36:11,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, two and a half years ago, years ago, Yeah,

1600
01:36:11,120 --> 01:36:12,840
Speaker 2: I mean it was prior to him leading, But I

1601
01:36:12,840 --> 01:36:16,439
Speaker 2: mean him saying why he's that's why they traded him.

1602
01:36:16,439 --> 01:36:17,720
Speaker 4: That's why he was right.

1603
01:36:18,280 --> 01:36:21,880
Speaker 2: Why traded him to the Padres and then and then yeah,

1604
01:36:21,960 --> 01:36:26,240
Speaker 2: and then over to the Yankees and uh and now

1605
01:36:26,280 --> 01:36:27,639
Speaker 2: this is it? Last stop?

1606
01:36:28,720 --> 01:36:33,760
Speaker 4: Last stop? That's exciting, man.

1607
01:36:35,120 --> 01:36:39,240
Speaker 2: Yeah. Oh, I'd like to say one other thing too,

1608
01:36:41,080 --> 01:36:46,719
Speaker 2: Hey Baseball, look at you, you cute little thing actually

1609
01:36:46,800 --> 01:36:54,320
Speaker 2: having winter meetings. See how fun this is? See how

1610
01:36:54,360 --> 01:36:58,160
Speaker 2: fun it is when the lead dog of your free agency. Actually,

1611
01:36:58,280 --> 01:37:03,639
Speaker 2: I don't know signs as opposed to taking us into

1612
01:37:03,680 --> 01:37:08,040
Speaker 2: February and baking it two screwdrivers in each other's ears

1613
01:37:08,400 --> 01:37:11,200
Speaker 2: while we sit here and not only wait for him,

1614
01:37:11,560 --> 01:37:14,280
Speaker 2: but therefore have to wait for all the other players too,

1615
01:37:14,280 --> 01:37:16,920
Speaker 2: because everyone's waiting for that person to set the market.

1616
01:37:18,280 --> 01:37:20,839
Speaker 2: So I'd like to thank Juan Soto and Scott Boris

1617
01:37:20,880 --> 01:37:21,080
Speaker 2: for that.

1618
01:37:23,479 --> 01:37:25,519
Speaker 4: Scot Boris, do it?

1619
01:37:26,000 --> 01:37:29,759
Speaker 2: Just do it? How much sitting around thinking and ringing

01:37:36,000 --> 01:37:37,360
Speaker 2: I love that and that's what they did.

1623
01:37:37,479 --> 01:37:41,080
Speaker 3: So good for them.

1624
01:37:41,160 --> 01:37:43,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like, yeah, this is This is about as

1626
01:37:48,760 --> 01:37:51,559
Speaker 2: in the winter meetings in quite some time. And now

1627
01:37:51,760 --> 01:37:52,240
Speaker 2: I would.

1628
01:37:52,080 --> 01:37:53,680
Speaker 3: Imagine there's going to be a lot more because the

1629
01:37:53,760 --> 01:37:54,880
Speaker 3: lead dog set the market.

1630
01:37:56,680 --> 01:38:00,719
Speaker 4: Big dog man. I thought he was coming to Blue

1631
01:38:01,320 --> 01:38:01,960
Speaker 4: did you really?

1632
01:38:02,240 --> 01:38:06,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll try to tell you New York like, I

1633
01:38:06,800 --> 01:38:12,160
Speaker 2: don't put anything past the Dodgers. Remember when, uh remember

1634
01:38:12,200 --> 01:38:15,280
Speaker 2: when Shoheo Tani was like a he was a Blue Jay.

1635
01:38:16,920 --> 01:38:17,960
Speaker 4: I don't know who thought that.

1636
01:38:18,080 --> 01:38:21,560
Speaker 2: I mean, well, his plane apparently was in Toronto or

1637
01:38:21,720 --> 01:38:27,280
Speaker 2: all right right, and and Arson Judge was going to

1638
01:38:27,320 --> 01:38:32,519
Speaker 2: be a giant and uh, it's like, yeah, I never

1639
01:38:32,880 --> 01:38:34,120
Speaker 2: I never put.

1640
01:38:33,960 --> 01:38:35,679
Speaker 3: It past the Yankees and the Dodgers.

1641
01:38:37,200 --> 01:38:40,639
Speaker 4: Never. You guys just resigned Adam Zohan.

1642
01:38:41,640 --> 01:38:45,479
Speaker 2: Oh A Domas not re signed. That's they took him

1643
01:38:45,479 --> 01:38:50,519
Speaker 2: from the brook Yeah, Willie Domas. Yeah, No, Buster Posey's

1644
01:38:50,560 --> 01:38:52,280
Speaker 2: going to come in and do some things. But whatever

1645
01:38:52,320 --> 01:38:55,160
Speaker 2: they got, they got a long way to go. But

1646
01:38:55,200 --> 01:38:59,000
Speaker 2: that was a good signing. It's a good signing. That'd

1647
01:38:59,040 --> 01:39:01,240
Speaker 2: be interesting for a guy to come in and sign

1648
01:39:01,280 --> 01:39:03,840
Speaker 2: someone right away to the biggest contract in the history

1649
01:39:03,840 --> 01:39:07,840
Speaker 2: of the organization, breaking the contract they signed you too,

1650
01:39:09,280 --> 01:39:14,599
Speaker 2: like seven or eight years ago. He broke his own record. Yeah,

1651
01:39:14,720 --> 01:39:18,679
Speaker 2: that contract, So that's kind of fun. Anyway, Juan Soto

Speaker 2: is a met fifteen years, seven hundred sixty five million dollars.

1659
01:39:45,600 --> 01:39:48,120
Speaker 2: this show posted right after we get off the air,

1660
01:39:48,320 --> 01:39:50,360
Speaker 2: will you tell me right now before we get into

1661
01:39:50,360 --> 01:39:54,120
Speaker 2: this with this three game losing streak and the awful

1662
01:39:54,160 --> 01:39:56,639
Speaker 2: defense and everything, like, how are you feeling about Laker

1663
01:39:56,680 --> 01:39:57,599
Speaker 2: basketball right now?

1664
01:39:57,800 --> 01:40:02,160
Speaker 4: I'm disgusted. I'm disgusted by it.

1665
01:40:03,600 --> 01:40:04,320
Speaker 3: Do tell.

1666
01:40:08,040 --> 01:40:18,760
Speaker 5: The problem I'm having is the turnovers, and a lot

1667
01:40:18,800 --> 01:40:21,599
Speaker 5: of them, the majority of them are stemming from Lebron James.

1668
01:40:22,920 --> 01:40:26,360
Speaker 5: He's too cavalier with the ball. Before Lebron James would

1669
01:40:26,360 --> 01:40:28,559
Speaker 5: turn the ball over, then chase you down and dribble

1670
01:40:28,600 --> 01:40:31,639
Speaker 5: it off the backboard. Now Lebron James turns the ball

1671
01:40:31,680 --> 01:40:35,680
Speaker 5: over and stops. So I'll put you at a disadvantage

1672
01:40:35,680 --> 01:40:40,600
Speaker 5: on the other end when you have individually double digit turnovers,

1673
01:40:40,720 --> 01:40:44,400
Speaker 5: and then you look at the stats and the team scores,

1674
01:40:44,880 --> 01:40:47,840
Speaker 5: you know, twenty seven points off turnovers. Come on, man,

1675
01:40:48,520 --> 01:40:52,519
Speaker 5: that's a recipe for disaster. As the LA Chargers drive

1676
01:40:52,600 --> 01:40:55,960
Speaker 5: down the field and score their one point away from

1677
01:40:56,040 --> 01:41:00,160
Speaker 5: dying this game, like we knew they would.

1678
01:41:00,240 --> 01:41:03,200
Speaker 3: Of course, either one point away from taking the.

1679
01:41:03,200 --> 01:41:03,960
Speaker 2: Lead in this game.

1680
01:41:04,000 --> 01:41:07,040
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, that's right, Yeah, it's thirteen thirteen thirteen.

1681
01:41:07,320 --> 01:41:11,960
Speaker 2: Yeah again again, what annoying thing are the Chiefs about

1682
01:41:12,000 --> 01:41:17,479
Speaker 2: to do to win this game. I only know one

1683
01:41:17,520 --> 01:41:19,360
Speaker 2: man who I actually trust to tell.

1684
01:41:19,240 --> 01:41:21,880
Speaker 4: Us, please bring this young man on.

1685
01:41:22,720 --> 01:41:25,240
Speaker 2: Not done with your lebron take There's more on the

1686
01:41:25,280 --> 01:41:28,640
Speaker 2: bone there. But not before Steve Desager, who was just

1687
01:41:28,680 --> 01:41:30,679
Speaker 2: with us, now gets to be with us again.

1688
01:41:31,120 --> 01:41:33,320
Speaker 6: I say the game winning field goal for the Chiefs

1689
01:41:33,360 --> 01:41:36,000
Speaker 6: will go off the back judge's head and over the cross.

1690
01:41:36,680 --> 01:41:40,760
Speaker 2: Yes, I love it. I love it that the officials

1691
01:41:40,800 --> 01:41:44,400
Speaker 2: actually head the ball into the in through the goal

1692
01:41:44,479 --> 01:41:46,080
Speaker 2: posts and the Chiefs win.

1693
01:41:46,720 --> 01:41:48,640
Speaker 6: So we're not quite to the fourth quarter yet, but

1694
01:41:48,680 --> 01:41:51,040
Speaker 6: stay tuned, fins. We got three and a half minutes

1695
01:41:51,080 --> 01:41:54,320
Speaker 6: to go in the third. The Chargers are up fourteen

1696
01:41:54,320 --> 01:41:57,240
Speaker 6: to thirteen at Kansas City. Chiefs enter within eleven to

1697
01:41:57,240 --> 01:42:00,559
Speaker 6: one record. They can clinch yet another AFC West tonight.

1698
01:42:00,600 --> 01:42:03,040
Speaker 6: This would be a ninth straight year winning the division.

1699
01:42:03,520 --> 01:42:06,559
Speaker 6: The Charger offense in the first half tonight six drives

1700
01:42:06,960 --> 01:42:11,480
Speaker 6: six first downs. In the second half two drives two touchdowns,

1701

01:44:54,320 --> 01:44:56,439

01:44:56,560 --> 01:45:01,000
Speaker 6: in defeat, Josh Allen had three touchdown passes and three

1749
01:45:01,320 --> 01:45:05,519
Speaker 6: one yard TD runs, but winds up a two point loss.

1750
01:45:05,520 --> 01:45:07,840
Speaker 6: The Rams got a touchdown in the first half on

1751
01:45:07,920 --> 01:45:12,520
Speaker 6: a block punt return back to you.

1752
01:45:12,560 --> 01:45:16,320
Speaker 2: What a day, man, What a day? What a day.

1753
01:45:16,439 --> 01:45:19,639
Speaker 2: And the Chiefs are losing in the second half yet again.

1754
01:45:21,040 --> 01:45:22,880
Speaker 2: And I wanted to add this, Ephraim. I don't know

1755
01:45:22,920 --> 01:45:24,959
Speaker 2: if this is going to make you make some more noises.

1756

1767
01:46:07,520 --> 01:46:12,559
Speaker 2: the contract about three hundred million more than any player

1768
01:46:12,680 --> 01:46:14,160
Speaker 2: in the history of the game.

1769
01:46:22,280 --> 01:46:25,000
Speaker 3: Can I ask you real quick, where's this all going.

1770
01:46:27,120 --> 01:46:29,720
Speaker 4: That I don't I don't just need a billion? It's

1771
01:46:29,760 --> 01:46:31,840
Speaker 4: going right right? Yeah right?

1772
01:46:32,000 --> 01:46:36,000
Speaker 2: I mean your your NBA stars are already tickling the

1773
01:46:36,680 --> 01:46:38,680
Speaker 2: area of sixty to sixty.

1774
01:46:38,360 --> 01:46:39,160
Speaker 3: Five a year.

1775
01:46:41,560 --> 01:46:46,240
Speaker 2: Baseball, right, Baseball stars are now up to north of fifty.

1776
01:46:46,640 --> 01:46:49,639
Speaker 2: I guess you could call show, hey, seventy it's deferred,

1777
01:46:49,640 --> 01:46:52,200
Speaker 2: but whatever, it's seventy per year.

1778
01:46:53,640 --> 01:46:57,559
Speaker 3: So of course a.

1779
01:46:57,600 --> 01:47:01,760
Speaker 2: Life of the deal billion dollar contract is coming. How

1780
01:47:01,840 --> 01:47:04,479
Speaker 2: far off our way are we from someone making one

1781
01:47:04,560 --> 01:47:07,360
Speaker 2: hundred million average annual value?

1782
01:47:07,479 --> 01:47:10,360
Speaker 4: Probably maybe three four years?

1783
01:47:10,800 --> 01:47:11,320
Speaker 3: That's it.

1784
01:47:11,400 --> 01:47:14,000
Speaker 4: That's it, man, Hey, guess what's about to happen? Right now?

1785
01:47:14,560 --> 01:47:15,320
Speaker 2: Good lord?

1786
01:47:15,680 --> 01:47:21,120
Speaker 5: And over and over again. The quarterback market is being

1787
01:47:21,200 --> 01:47:24,800
Speaker 5: reset on the daily, almost.

1788
01:47:24,479 --> 01:47:26,160
Speaker 2: On the regular, on the regular.

1789
01:47:26,720 --> 01:47:28,759
Speaker 4: It's at sixty plus right now.

1790
01:47:29,320 --> 01:47:32,400
Speaker 2: Well, but but you know what, this might be a

1791
01:47:32,439 --> 01:47:36,360
Speaker 2: this might be a year off coming out.

1792
01:47:36,439 --> 01:47:39,920
Speaker 5: Oh, don't worry, you can take a year off, Yeah,

1793
01:47:39,920 --> 01:47:41,280
Speaker 5: but you can't take too.

1794
01:47:42,000 --> 01:47:45,000
Speaker 2: I don't think, and I and I did think this

1795
01:47:45,680 --> 01:47:47,920
Speaker 2: not that long ago. I don't think if I had

1796
01:47:47,920 --> 01:47:50,000
Speaker 2: to predict right now, I do not think Rock Party

1797
01:47:50,040 --> 01:47:51,000
Speaker 2: is going to get sixty million.

1798
01:47:51,080 --> 01:47:53,280
Speaker 5: No, I don't think so either. But what I will

1799
01:47:53,280 --> 01:47:55,759
Speaker 5: say is Rock Party wasn't first pick in the draft,

1800
01:47:56,479 --> 01:47:58,120
Speaker 5: or the second or the third.

1801
01:47:58,280 --> 01:47:58,679
Speaker 2: Correct.

1802
01:48:01,000 --> 01:48:04,880
Speaker 4: Yes, it's going to shatter that.

1803
01:48:07,000 --> 01:48:08,479
Speaker 3: Which is wild because CJ.

1804
01:48:08,640 --> 01:48:11,320
Speaker 2: Stroud this year does not even look like I mean,

1805
01:48:11,400 --> 01:48:13,600
Speaker 2: I don't even know if he's a top ten quarterback.

1806
01:48:14,240 --> 01:48:17,280
Speaker 5: Not what we saw last year. Doesn't look like what

1807
01:48:17,400 --> 01:48:20,840
Speaker 5: we saw last year. But that's to be expected in

1808
01:48:20,880 --> 01:48:25,120
Speaker 5: a player's second year. When teams have, you know, footage,

1809
01:48:25,120 --> 01:48:27,120
Speaker 5: they've been hit with a bunch of injuries.

1810
01:48:27,200 --> 01:48:27,640
Speaker 4: We get it.

1811
01:48:27,880 --> 01:48:30,320
Speaker 5: They're still they're still gonna win the division, still gonna

1812
01:48:30,320 --> 01:48:34,400
Speaker 5: be in the playoffs. So as long as that keeps happening,

1813
01:48:35,320 --> 01:48:38,519
Speaker 5: uh huh. Right, And then you got Jaden Daniels coming.

1814
01:48:38,840 --> 01:48:41,519
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, three years from now, Jade and

1815
01:48:41,600 --> 01:48:43,559
Speaker 2: Daniels extension, what does that look like?

1816
01:48:44,120 --> 01:48:48,559
Speaker 4: Seventy for real? That's where it's going.

1817
01:48:49,000 --> 01:48:52,120
Speaker 5: Hey man, The NFL is only making more money, these

1818
01:48:52,160 --> 01:48:55,839
Speaker 5: deals of the NFL are signing these streaming deals.

1819
01:48:56,920 --> 01:48:59,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh yeah, when.

1820
01:48:59,200 --> 01:49:04,160
Speaker 5: The when the there the global expansion is going to

1821
01:49:04,240 --> 01:49:07,040
Speaker 5: happen when you find two teams outside the United States.

1822
01:49:08,800 --> 01:49:11,240
Speaker 5: Just imagine the revenue share that's going to open up.

1823
01:49:12,960 --> 01:49:15,960
Speaker 5: We're four years, five years away from one hundred million

1824
01:49:15,960 --> 01:49:17,360
Speaker 5: dollars a year quarterback.

1825
01:49:19,760 --> 01:49:22,559
Speaker 3: When do you know what? I want to know?

1826
01:49:23,160 --> 01:49:26,160
Speaker 2: We don't think about them so much because they've already

1827
01:49:27,280 --> 01:49:31,960
Speaker 2: signed extensions, but they're gonna come up again. When is

1828
01:49:32,040 --> 01:49:36,880
Speaker 2: Josh Allen up? Okay, he's not up until twenty twenty eight,

1829
01:49:37,800 --> 01:49:39,080
Speaker 2: so that's going to take a minute.

1830
01:49:40,000 --> 01:49:43,920
Speaker 3: What about Patrick? He signed that crazy long one.

1831
01:49:43,800 --> 01:49:45,760
Speaker 4: But then restructured it and.

1832
01:49:46,320 --> 01:49:47,439
Speaker 3: They've restructured it.

1833
01:49:50,840 --> 01:49:55,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess he's technically all locked up till twenty

1834
01:49:55,240 --> 01:49:57,120
Speaker 2: thirty one.

1835
01:49:57,840 --> 01:50:01,360
Speaker 3: God what in the end, What a smart thing by

1836
01:50:01,400 --> 01:50:02,040
Speaker 3: the Kansas City.

1837
01:50:02,200 --> 01:50:03,960
Speaker 4: They were like, hey man, you want to have billion dollars?

1838
01:50:03,960 --> 01:50:07,040
Speaker 2: Okay, cool, yep, yep, what a smart thing.

1839
01:50:08,880 --> 01:50:13,320
Speaker 4: Manage trying to play with that, right.

1840
01:50:13,560 --> 01:50:16,559
Speaker 2: I know, I know restructure. I get NFL has some

1841
01:50:16,600 --> 01:50:21,639
Speaker 2: funny money to it, but the original terms were ten year,

1842
01:50:21,840 --> 01:50:25,519
Speaker 2: five hundred, four hundred and fifty million. Yeah, forty five

1843
01:50:25,560 --> 01:50:33,720
Speaker 2: a year. Unbelievable bargain. Oh, beyond complete. Yeah, he's completed

1844
01:50:33,760 --> 01:50:36,080
Speaker 2: four years of the deal, He's won the Super Bowl

1845
01:50:36,120 --> 01:50:39,160
Speaker 2: and three of them, and the Chiefs still have him

1846
01:50:39,200 --> 01:50:43,519
Speaker 2: locked up after this season. One, two, three, four, five, six,

1847
01:50:43,920 --> 01:50:55,519
Speaker 2: seven more years. Uh, that's ridiculous, that's boom, that's just crazy.

01:51:22,760 --> 01:51:28,520
Speaker 2: Like I asked you about the Lakers, and you sound

1856
01:51:28,920 --> 01:51:30,320
Speaker 2: you sound feed up with Lebron.

1857
01:51:31,600 --> 01:51:36,719
Speaker 5: Look, it's the energy level, Okay, right, it's the energy level.

1858
01:51:36,760 --> 01:51:40,360
Speaker 5: They played great in sports spurts, but Lebron James forty

1859
01:51:40,439 --> 01:51:43,880
Speaker 5: years old. I'm not frustrated with Lebron. Right when you

1860
01:51:43,920 --> 01:51:46,559
Speaker 5: look at them playing tonight without Lebron because he's resting

1861
01:51:46,600 --> 01:51:53,759
Speaker 5: his foot, there's more energy. I don't expect Lebron James

1862
01:51:53,760 --> 01:51:58,240
Speaker 5: to be the old Lebron James that's impossible. So what

1863
01:51:58,439 --> 01:52:04,599
Speaker 5: has to happen is you have to, first of all,

1864
01:52:04,840 --> 01:52:13,040
Speaker 5: just stop turning the ball over. Don't do that. Whatever

1865
01:52:13,120 --> 01:52:15,559
Speaker 5: the pass is that you think you're about to make

1866
01:52:16,720 --> 01:52:19,960
Speaker 5: three quarter links with six defenders in front of you,

1867
01:52:20,000 --> 01:52:23,760
Speaker 5: even though itse five people in the court defending. I'm

1868
01:52:23,800 --> 01:52:28,960
Speaker 5: counting the sidelines too, don't throw it. Just dribble it

1869
01:52:29,000 --> 01:52:32,559
Speaker 5: in and let's throw it that way. The passes are

1870
01:52:32,560 --> 01:52:37,200
Speaker 5: so lazy, too, oh o god, so bad. And he

1871
01:52:37,240 --> 01:52:40,720
Speaker 5: doesn't have the explosive explosiveness that he had going to

1872
01:52:40,760 --> 01:52:44,520
Speaker 5: the rim, so he's playing under the rim a lot,

1873
01:52:44,880 --> 01:52:49,280
Speaker 5: and when he doesn't get the call, he stops to

1874
01:52:49,439 --> 01:52:53,720
Speaker 5: complain and have a conversation while the other team has

1875
01:52:53,760 --> 01:52:57,200
Speaker 5: the advantage going down. That's the problem I'm having because

1876
01:52:57,200 --> 01:53:00,479
Speaker 5: what happens is that two point ly that they have

1877
01:53:00,600 --> 01:53:02,599
Speaker 5: now is a five point leave because they came down

1878
01:53:02,640 --> 01:53:04,479
Speaker 5: to hit a three because somebody was wide open, because

1879
01:53:04,479 --> 01:53:06,559
Speaker 5: you were still looking at the ref tapping your full

1880
01:53:06,680 --> 01:53:10,679
Speaker 5: arm like someone hit you. After you miss the layup right,

1881
01:53:11,120 --> 01:53:15,040
Speaker 5: you throw the pass, it's intercepted. They're going down and

1882
01:53:15,120 --> 01:53:19,439
Speaker 5: now you know you were up by one, now you're

1883
01:53:19,439 --> 01:53:22,280
Speaker 5: down by two because the guy you should have been

1884
01:53:22,280 --> 01:53:26,000
Speaker 5: guarding is now hit a open three because you are

1885
01:53:26,120 --> 01:53:30,800
Speaker 5: standard at half court. It's things like that, and it's

1886
01:53:30,840 --> 01:53:34,320
Speaker 5: not just a Lebron thing. We need more from our bench,

1887
01:53:35,120 --> 01:53:40,519
Speaker 5: right We need the guys who are still hurt. Vanderbilt Woods,

1888
01:53:40,960 --> 01:53:44,439
Speaker 5: get off the team, give the money back and get

1889
01:53:44,439 --> 01:53:47,080
Speaker 5: off the team to open up a roster spot, or

1890
01:53:47,160 --> 01:53:53,479
Speaker 5: get on the court and play. I mean, you're holding

1891
01:53:53,560 --> 01:53:56,960
Speaker 5: up a roster spot. You're hurt. If you look at

1892
01:53:56,960 --> 01:54:05,280
Speaker 5: the Lakers bench, it's all G League plays, and so

1893
01:54:06,040 --> 01:54:07,920
Speaker 5: it's too early to be dealing with all of this.

1894
01:54:08,320 --> 01:54:11,960
Speaker 5: How you start the season hurts what you been doing

1895
01:54:11,960 --> 01:54:17,360
Speaker 5: all summer. Look literally, if you look over there at

1896
01:54:17,400 --> 01:54:20,160
Speaker 5: that bench, you don't know who these players outside of

1897
01:54:20,200 --> 01:54:21,120
Speaker 5: Bronnie James.

1898
01:54:21,439 --> 01:54:23,320
Speaker 4: You don't know who these other dudes are.

1899
01:54:24,439 --> 01:54:26,719
Speaker 2: I try and like hell not to make that comment

1900
01:54:26,840 --> 01:54:30,400
Speaker 2: right now, because every Laker fan I knew didn't seem

1901
01:54:30,479 --> 01:54:34,800
Speaker 2: to care about depth a couple of months ago. Who

1902
01:54:34,920 --> 01:54:37,360
Speaker 2: said this is so cool to have Bronnie James.

1903
01:54:37,440 --> 01:54:39,640
Speaker 5: I'm not talking about Bronnie James. I'm talking about the

1904
01:54:39,680 --> 01:54:42,000
Speaker 5: other four guys sit next to him.

1905
01:54:42,320 --> 01:54:44,600
Speaker 2: My point is is, maybe you could have used that

1906
01:54:44,680 --> 01:54:47,160
Speaker 2: roster spot on an NBA player in camp.

1907
01:54:47,680 --> 01:54:52,160
Speaker 5: Look, man, we have NBA players on the using roster

1908
01:54:52,200 --> 01:54:57,880
Speaker 5: spots who haven't played this year. That's my point. There

1909
01:54:57,880 --> 01:55:04,280
Speaker 5: are three guys who are NBA players who haven't played

1910
01:55:04,320 --> 01:55:10,760
Speaker 5: this year using roster spots. That's my problem.

1911
01:55:11,680 --> 01:55:14,480
Speaker 2: I hear you, all right, So then then how does

1912
01:55:14,520 --> 01:55:19,320
Speaker 2: this grab you? The NBA on ESPN crew and Michael

1913
01:55:19,360 --> 01:55:24,760
Speaker 2: Wilbon specifically was asked because there are reports everywhere, starting

1914
01:55:24,760 --> 01:55:28,360
Speaker 2: with Shams, that the Golden State Warriors are big game

1915
01:55:28,600 --> 01:55:33,760
Speaker 2: hunting and they they need another big name or big

1916
01:55:33,800 --> 01:55:37,440
Speaker 2: presence or number two score to go with Steph. They're

1917
01:55:37,440 --> 01:55:40,800
Speaker 2: trying to maximize the remainder of his career, and Wilbon

1918
01:55:41,000 --> 01:55:45,800
Speaker 2: was asked, Okay, so who's the person and what exactly

1919
01:55:46,720 --> 01:55:50,160
Speaker 2: what would you do? Quote we just saw them play together.

1920
01:55:50,360 --> 01:55:54,760
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, this is an easy answer. It's Lebron James.

1921
01:55:56,760 --> 01:55:59,640
Speaker 2: That phone call was made at the trade deadline last

1922
01:55:59,680 --> 01:56:03,560
Speaker 2: year or went anywhere. Both teams are hard cap, second apron.

1923
01:56:04,040 --> 01:56:06,360
Speaker 2: It does not leave a lot of flexibility. But one

1924
01:56:06,360 --> 01:56:11,040
Speaker 2: thing I've learned through the years of watching this guy's career,

1925
01:56:11,400 --> 01:56:15,280
Speaker 2: if Lebron wants something to happen, it happens, and Brian

1926
01:56:15,320 --> 01:56:18,600
Speaker 2: Windhorst literally said as much, this deal can happen if

1927
01:56:18,720 --> 01:56:19,760
Speaker 2: Lebron wants it to.

1928
01:56:22,320 --> 01:56:30,560
Speaker 3: Your thoughts? What come on, man?

1929
01:56:30,720 --> 01:56:32,800
Speaker 4: No, that means he would have to Steph would have

1930
01:56:32,840 --> 01:56:33,520
Speaker 4: to come in to La.

1931
01:56:34,720 --> 01:56:36,200
Speaker 2: No.

1932
01:56:36,200 --> 01:56:41,480
Speaker 8: No, no, no, it doesn't no, because the idea, I guess, like,

1933
01:56:41,640 --> 01:56:43,520
Speaker 8: let me ask it to you this way, based on

1934
01:56:43,560 --> 01:56:47,520
Speaker 8: the way you just sounded like, are you are you.

1935
01:56:47,560 --> 01:56:51,160
Speaker 2: Harboring thoughts of the Lakers being contenders this year?

1936
01:56:52,040 --> 01:56:52,280
Speaker 4: No?

1937
01:56:53,200 --> 01:56:57,880
Speaker 2: Okay, then if that's the case, I'd almost argue you'd

1938
01:56:57,920 --> 01:56:59,800
Speaker 2: be crazy not to explore this.

1939
01:57:00,040 --> 01:57:01,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, but what do we get it? What do we

1940
01:57:01,640 --> 01:57:03,040
Speaker 4: get assets?

1941
01:57:03,320 --> 01:57:05,600
Speaker 3: What a lot of young assets?

1942
01:57:05,840 --> 01:57:08,720
Speaker 2: What well I would imagine to train together?

1943
01:57:08,800 --> 01:57:10,000
Speaker 4: Come on, what we got.

1944
01:57:10,160 --> 01:57:12,680
Speaker 2: Well, you're gonna have to get up to what how

1945
01:57:12,880 --> 01:57:16,360
Speaker 2: was he made fifty? You got to add up a

1946
01:57:16,400 --> 01:57:21,560
Speaker 2: whole lot of stuff. So you're probably looking at a Kamingo,

1947
01:57:22,240 --> 01:57:26,800
Speaker 2: You're looking at a Wiggins, You're looking at draft picks,

1948
01:57:27,400 --> 01:57:32,760
Speaker 2: and then you're probably looking at filler filler contracts, Gary Payton,

1949
01:57:33,560 --> 01:57:36,240
Speaker 2: d Anthony Melton, who's hurt and injured for the rest

1950
01:57:36,280 --> 01:57:39,440
Speaker 2: of the year, things like that. That's what you're looking at.

1951
01:57:39,600 --> 01:57:42,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, that don't work. Sorry, why not? Why he's a

1952
01:57:42,680 --> 01:57:43,280
Speaker 4: non starter.

1953
01:57:43,920 --> 01:57:46,240
Speaker 2: That's a bunch of young assets for someone that you

1954
01:57:46,280 --> 01:57:48,120
Speaker 2: say is forty years old and isn't going to win

1955
01:57:48,200 --> 01:57:48,560
Speaker 2: this year.

1956
01:57:49,240 --> 01:57:53,160
Speaker 4: We're good. Why because I need something tangible. None of

1957
01:57:53,200 --> 01:57:53,919
Speaker 4: that's tangible.

1958
01:57:54,520 --> 01:57:56,160
Speaker 3: Jonathan Kaminga is not tangible.

1959
01:57:56,240 --> 01:57:57,640
Speaker 4: No, he not.

1960
01:57:58,600 --> 01:58:03,600
Speaker 5: No, he's great in that system. It's great.

1961
01:58:04,800 --> 01:58:05,360
Speaker 3: That's funny.

1962
01:58:05,400 --> 01:58:08,520
Speaker 2: We've been sitting here actually on our station for the

1963
01:58:08,600 --> 01:58:12,240
Speaker 2: last six months talking about how he doesn't.

1964
01:58:11,920 --> 01:58:12,400
Speaker 4: Fit the sis.

1965
01:58:12,640 --> 01:58:13,000
Speaker 2: He does.

1966
01:58:13,040 --> 01:58:13,640
Speaker 4: He fits it.

1967
01:58:15,120 --> 01:58:22,080
Speaker 5: Man. Interesting, I'm not We're not bolstering your team and

1968
01:58:22,160 --> 01:58:22,800
Speaker 5: get out of here.

1969
01:58:23,720 --> 01:58:25,960
Speaker 4: State will never do that.

1970
01:58:26,320 --> 01:58:28,840
Speaker 2: There, It's not up to him.

1971
01:58:29,200 --> 01:58:30,520
Speaker 4: Jennie Buss would never do that.

1972
01:58:30,920 --> 01:58:32,120
Speaker 3: It's not up to her.

1973
01:58:32,200 --> 01:58:32,560
Speaker 4: It is.

1974
01:58:33,160 --> 01:58:35,240
Speaker 3: It's not. It is, it's not.

1975
01:58:35,560 --> 01:58:37,560
Speaker 2: And you know her and I know her. And if

1976
01:58:37,640 --> 01:58:40,640
Speaker 2: Lebron tells her that it's gonna happen, it happens.

1977
01:58:40,680 --> 01:58:44,640
Speaker 5: Not gonna happen. Okay, Okay, We're gonna send him and

1978
01:58:44,720 --> 01:58:48,280
Speaker 5: his son. That's so basically, we'll send him and his son. Right,

1979
01:58:49,120 --> 01:58:51,600
Speaker 5: use the draft pick on his son. But he's not calling. Yeah,

1980
01:58:51,640 --> 01:58:54,240
Speaker 5: but that's that's that's who we send out there. Him

1981
01:58:54,240 --> 01:58:55,640
Speaker 5: and his son correct.

1982
01:58:56,240 --> 01:58:58,600
Speaker 3: Whatever, No, doesn't have to come.

1983
01:58:58,720 --> 01:59:02,520
Speaker 4: No, he's gotta go. Why leave his son behind?

1984
01:59:02,720 --> 01:59:05,720
Speaker 2: What they already executed the dream? They just wanted to

1985
01:59:05,720 --> 01:59:07,600
Speaker 2: play together. They did that. That's over now.

1986
01:59:07,720 --> 01:59:08,680
Speaker 4: No, it's not over.

1987
01:59:09,680 --> 01:59:14,240
Speaker 5: Is he's got and he's gotta go. You gotta go

1988
01:59:14,280 --> 01:59:16,080
Speaker 5: off my line with that foolishness.

1989
01:59:16,520 --> 01:59:17,240
Speaker 3: We got more time.

1990
01:59:17,480 --> 01:59:19,600
Speaker 2: Luckily, we got more time to talk about this for

1991
01:59:19,720 --> 01:59:21,040
Speaker 2: weeks and weeks to come.
