00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 4: A lot of wind, a lot of miss sure.

26

27
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 4: Like at first, like some field goals like that was

28
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 4: I thought, I'm.

29
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 3: Not an exciting That was a messy game, right but

30
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 3: at that.

31
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,640

32
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,319

33
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 2: you're like, please just win and let's move on. I

34
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 2: mean last night was also great. We're going to dive

35
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 2: into that a little later. But Alabama beating Oklahoma, come

36
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:32,039
Speaker 2: and come behind.

37
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 4: That was football playoff history.

38
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 3: That was incredible.

39
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:38,119
Speaker 2: We have Ole Miss in Tulane going on right now,

40
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 2: will Miss up fourteen nothing over Tulane, Oregon and James

41
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 2: Madison tonight. Two NFL games today, Eagles and Commanders in about.

42
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 3: An hour on the line. Dude, well that's that's next.

43
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 2: Eagles can clinch the NFC East with the winner of

44
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 2: the Commanders Packers at Bears.

45
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 3: That one that is like gonna be the winner.

46
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 2: Clinch is a playoff berth and then but they also

47
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 2: need the Lions to lose this weekend in order for

48
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 2: that to happen. But that division is like the NFC

49
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 2: North in the NFC West are so tight, so messy,

50
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 2: and I love it. It's like we're also going to get

51
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 2: into that a little later too, just like how wild

52
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 2: the NFL is.

53
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 4: The football started last night. I lied, it started Thursday.

54
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 3: It did.

55
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 2: That was quite possibly We're going to get into that

56
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:26,959
Speaker 2: in just a second. Quite possibly one of the greatest

57
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,839
Speaker 2: games of the season. We're also instant classic. We're also

58
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 2: going to get to like I think we have a

59
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 2: new king. We're going to have a new king in

60
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 2: the AFC because Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs are own

61
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 2: not so dynasty. Come on, it's over. We'll get to

62
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 2: that a little later. We got some great guests. We

63
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 2: have Tracy Sandler to break down the NFC West Battle

64
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 2: of Rosch, Mark Cosey, who was at that Thursday night game.

65
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 2: We'll have them a little later, producer both with US Today,

66
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 2: Technical producer Chris Ppherveett, Martin Wise at the news desk.

67
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:55,359
Speaker 3: But yeah, let's dive into.

68
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 2: That NFC West because that was I think so far

69
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 2: the best game of the season on Thursday night.

70
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 4: The implications everything everything on the line.

71
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 2: Literally like first place in the NFC, first place in

72
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 2: the West on the line. Rams had already clinched the

73
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 2: playoff spot, but the Seahawks had a playoff berth on

74
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,920
Speaker 2: the line. Now It wasn't easy to watch as a

75
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 2: Rams fan, but you have to hand it to the Seahawks.

76
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,239
Speaker 3: Like the way they came back. The two point.

77
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,399
Speaker 2: Conversions were the star of the show in that game,

78
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 2: the first one that tied it. I don't think anyone

79
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 2: seen a two point conversion like that before. It was

80
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 2: so casual and it was so nonchalant like. And then

81
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 2: the two point conversion to win the game in ot

82
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 2: clinched the playoff Berth. The Seahawks are the first team

83
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 2: in NFL history. You guys do win a game on

84
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 2: a two point conversion and you can't like, he can't

85
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 2: be mad. And the Rams had it, and they blew

86
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 2: a sixteen point fourth quarter lead.

87
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 3: The Seahawks were down to a three percent chance to

88
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 3: win with just eight minutes left in regulation.

89
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 4: Listen Stafford was dealing hooka was wheeling. Yeah, but the

90
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 4: Seahawks didn't stop believing, Listen. They therefore they didn't quit.

91
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:20,239
Speaker 4: And and that uh Sobert two point conversion. So listen

92
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 4: to this. He's a he's a veteran blocking tight end. Yeah,

93
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 4: you probably haven't heard his name a lot this season.

94
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 4: Why because he's only had two catches this season that's

95
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 4: so sad. And what's more is that two point conversion, Yeah,

96
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 4: doesn't count in your statistics as a catch, so he

97
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 4: still only has two catches this season.

98
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 3: That's wild.

99
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 2: Did you see the like the post game in the

100
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 2: locker room or coach hands on the game ball?

101
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,280
Speaker 4: Yeah? And is I love those videos?

102
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 2: By the way, my face coming those are my again,

103
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 2: Like we're in the we're in a lot of rock

104
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:55,599
Speaker 2: locker rooms. That's where I spent the first part of

105
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 2: my career. And to get that kind of like insight

106
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 2: behind the scenes because we're like antached after after the speeches,

107
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 2: after all, that is just gold. And you really see

108
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 2: the that's where you see the raw emotion from these

109
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 2: players and the appreciation. Like he even said, I've bounced

110
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 2: around a bunch, but like you guys made me feel

111
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 2: like this was my home and like I was family

112
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 2: immediately when I came here.

113
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 3: And the unsung.

114
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 2: Heroes like that's literally that's what wins championships. We saw

115
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 2: it with the Dodgers, like it's everybody's got to step up.

116
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 2: It's the next manned up mentality, like it doesn't matter who,

117
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 2: it's just how are we gonna get there? And how

118
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 2: are we gonna win? And as you mentioned, like Stafford

119
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,039
Speaker 2: and Puka had solid games. Yeah for the Rams, Puka

120
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 2: twelve catches, a career high two hundred and twenty five

121
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 2: receiving ers and two touchdowns.

122
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 3: But you got to hand it to Sam Donald.

123
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,359
Speaker 2: You have really handed to Sam Donald because he has

124
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 2: lived up and I think exceeded the expectations that we

125
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 2: had of him in Seattle because again, like the beginning

126
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 2: of the season, there was always like, can he be

127
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 2: that same quarterback with out Kevin O'Connell who kind of

128
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 2: like turned his career around, And he has.

129
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 3: He's won.

130
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 2: I think he's the last thirty of thirty nine games,

131
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 2: the first quarterback with back to back twelve win seasons

132
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 2: with two different teams. Like and it's not always pretty well,

133
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:15,599
Speaker 2: it's actually most of the time not pretty.

134
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 3: He overcomes his struggles.

135
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 2: He will have turnovers, but the biggest part is he

136
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 2: doesn't let it get him down.

137
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:24,279
Speaker 4: What I really have to commend him on is the

138
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 4: last time these two teams met, he did not have

139
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:30,719
Speaker 4: a good game. No, and you know there's the whole

140
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 4: confidence factor. His team stood by him. Then you look

141
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 4: at this game, right, he has two back breaking interceptions.

142
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 4: They're in a sixteen point hole, and what does he do?

143
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 4: He has the composure I read that before every time

144
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 4: he takes the field, no matter what happened to drive.

145
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,359
Speaker 4: Before he warms up throwing the ball, he gets up

146
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 4: in there. You don't see a lot of quarterbacks doing that.

147
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,159
Speaker 4: He gets up and passes to his guys and just

148
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 4: kind of like locks in. Yeah, and to have that

149
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 4: like overtime mentality locked in, unflappable. Yeah, it was really impressive.

150
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 4: And it's, like you said, a microcosm of his entire

151
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 4: career to this point, right, Like the hits keep coming,

152
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 4: but you keep getting back up.

153
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,239
Speaker 3: Wild wild. Okay.

154
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 2: This is going to lead us into a fun little

155
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 2: segment that we're gonna call nailed it or failed it

156
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 2: on our hot takes. Either nailed the hot take or

157
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 2: you failed the hot take. And this is going to

158
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 2: go back to start of the season or things that

159
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 2: are happening right now. Right, Okay, I'm gonna start with

160
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 2: a nailed it because I like to start on the

161
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 2: happy side of life. Nailed it, nailed it, and they're

162
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 2: also playing today and can make the playoffs for the

163
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 2: first time since twenty twenty, I said, Ben Johnson will

164
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 2: be a generational hire for the Bears, and he would

165
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 2: be the best thing for that team, and he can

166
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 2: turn this franchise around. In his first season, you guys,

167
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 2: as head coach, he's led the Bears to a ten

168
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 2: and four record. They haven't won at least ten games

169
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 2: in a season since twenty eighteen. They're currently leading the

170
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 2: NFC North. They are the two seed in the NFC.

171
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 2: Like I said, they haven't been to the playoffs since

172
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 2: twenty twenty, and they can clinch a playoff Berth today

173
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 2: with the winer of the Packers and the Lions loss

174
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 2: to the Steelers. The Bears offense is Chef's kiss. Fifth

175
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 2: in yards per game, ninth in points per game if

176
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 2: you look at years past, last season, they were last

177
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 2: in yards per game and tied for twenty eight in

178
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 2: points per game. So the way he is completely turn

179
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 2: this team around in one season. And again, if you

180
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 2: watch those postgame locker room right after moments he has

181
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:44,439
Speaker 2: with his team, like he created a culture. He created

182
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 2: a culture that this team so desperately needed. And it's fun.

183
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 2: Like Chicago's a great sports team, so great sports town.

184
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 2: So when you have those legendary franchises that are good.

185
00:08:57,720 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 2: It's just good for the league. It's good for the game,

186
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 2: and it's fun. So I nailed that one.

187
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 4: Go me, listen, I was just gonna go with what

188
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,439
Speaker 4: was a risk and what was nailed like nails when

189
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 4: you consider a successful gamble, okay, and that was Jacksonville

190
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 4: betting on Liam Cohne du the literally, I mean, honestly,

191
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 4: you know, you always wonder what's going on with the Jags, right,

192
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:32,199
Speaker 4: Trevor Lawrence builled as a generational quarterback, and to this

193
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 4: point he had underperformed, Right, but now he is playing

194
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 4: the best football of his career.

195
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 5: Yeah.

196
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 4: The Jacksonville Jaguars are also ten and four. Yeah, Lawrence

197
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 4: has had nine touchdowns and for the first time, three

198
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 4: games in a row without a turnover. He has triple

199
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 4: digit passer ratings in three straight games and just absolutely

200
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:02,959
Speaker 4: on top of this offense, right, which I think, so ultimately,

201
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 4: where I'm going with this one is that Jacksonville took

202
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,319
Speaker 4: the risk they poached con Maybe he didn't leave Tampa

203
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 4: in the best of circumstances. Yeah, but what he's doing

204
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 4: with Lawrence right now, I'm excited to see it. Only

205
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 4: continue to grow.

206
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 2: I'm just going to say, start of the season having

207
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 2: the Patriots, Steelers, Jags, and Broncos lead their AFC divisions.

208
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 3: Was not on my Bingo card.

209
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:27,679
Speaker 4: Absolutely not.

210
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 3: Not on my Bingo card.

211
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 4: And the Chiefs not making the playoffs not on my

212
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 4: Bingo card.

213
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 2: Okay, now we're going to go to the other side

214
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 2: to call out myself with a.

215
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:41,679
Speaker 3: Failed it hot take. Last week, I.

216
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 2: Had zero faith in forty four year old grandpa Philip

217
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 2: Rivers making his comeback after playing his last game and

218
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 2: retiring in twenty twenty. I said he was watched. I

219
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 2: did not have faith. I was worried about his safety.

220
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 2: This man had them in the game all the way

221
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:01,559
Speaker 2: down to the final minutes. Like he only got sacked ones.

222
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 2: He threw a beautiful touchdown pass like under a minute ago.

223
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 2: It was the Seahawks that kicked the game winning field goal.

224
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,839
Speaker 3: To get it. But like he had them in it,

225
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 3: he had them in it.

226
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 4: I don't really know if you could. I think you're

227
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 4: being a little hard on yourself with this. Because Philip

228
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:19,599
Speaker 4: Rivers wasn't playing football.

229
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:20,439
Speaker 3: It doesn't matter.

230
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 4: He was a season, So if you tell him washed,

231
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 4: that is fair.

232
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 3: Yeah.

233
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 2: Well, I was like, there's no way this is gonna

234
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 2: be catastrophic, this is gonna be horrible.

235
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 3: I don't know what the cultu were thinking.

236
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 2: I went harder than paint on the opposite side with

237
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:34,959
Speaker 2: zero faith, but I was like, you know what proved

238
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 2: me wrong because if this goes well, beautiful movie plot,

239
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:39,559
Speaker 2: beautiful movie plot.

240
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,319
Speaker 4: I'm just really happy he's getting insurance back for him

241
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 4: and his ten children and his grandchildren.

242
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 6: I know.

243
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 2: So like the bad part is like now he has

244
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:50,959
Speaker 2: to wait another five years to be considered for the

245
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame, but now he gets another five years

246
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 2: of health and trance.

247
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 4: We're fine with that. Go Philip, go, that's a pretty

248
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 4: good trade. It's nostalgia too.

249
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 2: It's but it's like he's a grandpa and he's not.

250
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 2: He's not Tom Brady forty four. So it's just yeah, I.

251
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,079
Speaker 3: And who they have. They're playing the forty.

252
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:13,680
Speaker 2: Nine ers on on Monday.

253
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're gonna talk to Trace about that one.

254
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm I'm I'm sure she's almost like fangirling

255
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,959
Speaker 4: at the I mean literally fangirl Sports Network. But I'm

256
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 4: sure she's almost excited to see Philip back in action

257
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 4: and the Shanahan narrative that he almost brought Philip out

258
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 4: of retirement. There's the story that if he had made

259
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 4: the NFC Championship game or one of the final round,

260
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 4: he would have brought Philip out of He would have

261
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 4: called Philip.

262
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 3: So Shanahan wanted yes when back.

263
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 4: It was either one or two two, I think two

264
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 4: seasons ago. We have to ask about that.

265
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 2: He's been on a lot of coaches radars, right, I

266
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 2: don't know, that is wild?

267
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 4: And then did you hear like Cam Newton being like

268
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 4: it's disrespectful.

269
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 3: Ro He's just not everything is about you?

270
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 2: But again he it is because he's also a quarterback

271
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:11,079
Speaker 2: that probably still could have played, was in good shape,

272
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 2: and he's not getting a call.

273
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,559
Speaker 3: So it's he's but hurt. It's not like it's more

274
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 3: of like, excuse me, what?

275
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 4: Right?

276
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 2: I just yeah, there was more faith in Philip Rivers

277
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 2: being a game manager, which is what he did and

278
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 2: what he's doing. And okay, yeah, so he's not in

279
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 2: the game anymore, but he's been a high school coach,

280
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,199
Speaker 2: so he's still kind of throwing the ball. I would

281
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 2: imagine at practice, like again, not in the same shape,

282
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 2: not working out and lifting like you would be like

283
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 2: everyone else you're playing against that has been like lifting

284
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 2: and playing and fighting for their lives for the last

285
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 2: five years.

286
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,959
Speaker 3: But I again like I had zero faith.

287
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 4: Listen, I had zero faith and and to so go

288
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,200
Speaker 4: up with myself, Yeah, to put myself in in the

289
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 4: same corner as you. I was a fer. I was

290
00:13:55,960 --> 00:14:00,120
Speaker 4: firm believer in the Chiefs until until I literally saw

291
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 4: the mathematically is this your failed it? Yeah? So your

292
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 4: fail it failed it is Chiefs will make the postseason.

293
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 4: I was always, you know, count them in till they're out.

294
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 4: And they're out, and I mean, man, what a what

295
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 4: a tough what a tough moment. But I think the

296
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 4: Chiefs are going to be back sooner, sooner than a

297
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 4: lot of people might be believing. What Yeah, I just

298
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 4: I just trust. I trust that franchise. And uh they

299
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 4: put on that Dynastics show.

300
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're gonna we're gonna dive into that a little

301
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 2: later in the show.

302
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna hold my.

303
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 2: Hot take at Okay, I was, I was too, and

304
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 2: I also feel like I failed that take. So okay,

305
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 2: let me end it with one more here. Another fail

306
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 2: take I had was that Joe Burrow and the Bengals

307
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 2: are going to be good this year. I was buying

308
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 2: Burrow and the Bengals stock this season. Joe coming in healthy,

309
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 2: they paid both their big guys in Jamar and Jason T.

310
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 3: Higgins.

311
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 2: It felt like they were on the up and up.

312
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 2: It was the first two oh start of the season

313
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 2: for the first time in Burrow's career. But you can't

314
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 2: win games when your defense is horrible, worst in the league.

315
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 2: You guys in yards per game, in points per game,

316
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 2: and they got eliminated last weekend.

317
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 4: Burrows seems really I don't interesting.

318
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 3: He's had some interesting comments last week. I think people

319
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 3: were like, is he like hinting at retirement.

320
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 2: Like this week was asked if he sees himself like

321
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 2: going on with the Bengals.

322
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 3: There's a lot but again, like, well, you get the guy.

323
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 2: You got to get the guy a moment to Breathe

324
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 2: like his season is over and he still has more

325
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 2: games to play, which is so frustrating because he has

326
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 2: been playing amazing. He has been playing great, But again,

327
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 2: you can't win games when your defense is the worst

328
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 2: in the league.

329
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 4: Joe's one of those like kind of esoteric guys too.

330
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 4: When he talks it's a word, oh thank you. I

331
00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 4: don't want to put him in the same category as

332
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers, but like sometimes it's like they're aware they

333
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 4: have aura.

334
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 2: Right, he literally captivates a room no matter what he says,

335
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 2: what he's wearing. You watched Quarterback Netflix special, and he

336
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 2: goes with a stylist like he he understands what he's

337
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 2: doing in the effect that he has on the field

338
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 2: and off the field.

339
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 4: So that being said, you just put the first puzzle

340
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 4: piece down. I think his comments were a and acting,

341
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 4: maybe sad. I don't know if that's the way you

342
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 4: would categorize his presence at the podium. I think that

343
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 4: was a way of showing unhappiness without necessarily asking for

344
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 4: a trade from Cincinnati. Remember he's an Ohio kid, so

345
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 4: I think he was fine playing for the Bengals, you know,

346
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 4: hoping to restore them, you know, bring up to the postseason,

347
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 4: et cetera. But I do think that the way he

348
00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 4: delivered it might be eight. There might be something larger.

349
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 2: So here, let me just like last Wednesday, it was like,

350
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:04,399
Speaker 2: if I want to keep doing this, I want to

351
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 2: have fun doing it. I've been through a lot and

352
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 2: it's been fun. But and it's not been fun, then

353
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 2: what am I doing it for? So that's the mindset

354
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:14,199
Speaker 2: I'm trying to bring to the table right now. And

355
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 2: then this Wednesday, he was asked if he could see

356
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 2: a world in which he wasn't playing for the Bengals

357
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty six. He said, I can't see that, no,

358
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 2: and then he thought about ever playing elsewhere. He said,

359
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:27,440
Speaker 2: you think about a lot of things. So I think

360
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 2: it was just like, hm, hmmm.

361
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 3: Okay, Joe, we see you. We're going to take a

362
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:34,160
Speaker 3: quick break here.

363
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 2: But when we come back, you guys, college football playoffs

364

Speaker 2: a win's a win. And in the playoffs you had

404
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 2: just move was it. It was into the third quarter

405
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,199
Speaker 2: like that, right if you're going into halftime and there

406

Speaker 4: close battle here.

409
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,639
Speaker 2: It was with every with every sport, you know, you

410
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 2: love a good like defensive battle. No, I don't. I

411
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:50,479
Speaker 2: want an offensive explosion. I want like scores points at

412
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 2: the Wazoo. So that's what I want.

413
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 4: I covered that historic Oklahoma Texas Tech football game where

414
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,680
Speaker 4: it was Baker Mayfield versus Patrick Mahomes in college in

415
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 4: in Lubbock. I just got it was it was an

416
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:07,360
Speaker 4: offensive explosion. I was loving it. And my coworkers like, oh,

417
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:09,160
Speaker 4: this is disgusting defense.

418
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 3: What's happening. I'm like good.

419
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 4: Meanwhile, I like, bring it on another one, another, one,

420
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 4: another one.

421
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 3: We love it.

422
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:20,160
Speaker 2: Last night was also a great game, Bama winning. They're

423
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 2: now going to play Indiana in the Rose Bowl. Like

424
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:29,199
Speaker 2: Bama came from a seventeen point deficit. Yeah, and in

425
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 2: the first half to come back and win thirty four

426
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 2: to twenty four. Like they're the first team to win

427
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:36,160
Speaker 2: on the road in the first round of the College

428
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 2: football playoffs because last year all home teams won.

429
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:42,679
Speaker 4: And you know, first of all, well, we gotta we

430
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 4: got to check in on our fans in Oklahoma right now,

431
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 4: because man, oh you're in Oklahoma.

432
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 3: I forgot, Yes, that was that was one of your

433
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 3: stops on.

434
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:52,920
Speaker 4: Your on the on your tour, the media tour. Yeah,

435
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:56,719
Speaker 4: on the media tour. No, I've covered the Sooners. I

436
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:58,920
Speaker 4: was there when Baker Mayfield, Kyler Murray.

437
00:20:58,960 --> 00:20:59,440
Speaker 3: That makes sense.

438
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 4: Why you link it that, Lincoln Riley? Yeah, So you know,

439
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 4: Norman is a beautiful place, and in Oklahoma, I would

440
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 4: say it's predominantly oh U fans. There's a lot a

441
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 4: good contingent of Oklahoma State fans, but it is OU football.

442
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:17,200
Speaker 4: Boomer Sooner baby, Yeah, you've got grandma too. Who knows

443
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:19,919
Speaker 4: the fourth string safety's name on the right, Like this

444
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:25,640
Speaker 4: is everything Oklahoma parenally in the playoff conversation, hasn't won

445
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:30,120
Speaker 4: a postseason game since twenty fifteen. Last night they gave

446
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 4: up the largest like lead, right, the biggest comeback.

447
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:36,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, and hometowns you had the advantage. You

448
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 2: good home teams have had the advantage. And this was

449
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:40,879
Speaker 2: the second time they met the season. Oklahoma won the

450
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:44,439
Speaker 2: first meeting. Like everything was on their side. I mean,

451
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 2: they're eight to nine rankings. So like, again, anything can.

452
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 4: Happen, Anything can happen.

453
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:51,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was that was wild.

454
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 2: Right Now we have two more games today, we have

455
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 2: ole Miss and two lanel Misses up fourteen to three.

456
00:21:58,400 --> 00:21:59,679
Speaker 4: The last time they played, I think it was a

457
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:04,160
Speaker 4: four five win, so yeah, I think it was yeah, yeah.

458
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 3: Earlier this season.

459
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:07,399
Speaker 2: I mean ole Miss is a seventeen and a half

460
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 2: point favorite. Yeah, winner will play Georgia in the Sugar Bowl.

461
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:11,640
Speaker 3: I mean.

462
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 2: The only knock on ole Miss I think is the

463
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:16,439
Speaker 2: fact that they're dealing with the loss of Lane Kiffin,

464
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 2: like leaving the team and going to LSU, like before

465
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 2: the season is done.

466
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:22,640
Speaker 3: Weird.

467
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:26,119
Speaker 4: It's just the saga keeps going. You know what I

468
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 4: got on a niche part of social media, and it

469
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:35,440
Speaker 4: was old like it was Oxford ole Miss is an Oxford, Mississippi.

470
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 4: Oh okay, okay, so I just say, yes, okay, yes

471
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:44,719
Speaker 4: it was. It was Oxford, Mississippi yoga studio slander on

472
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 4: Lane Kiffin because apparently he would go do hot yoga

473
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 4: in Oxford, Mississippi. And then yeah, I can finally play

474
00:22:55,359 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 4: my playlist without your commentary. Oh oh great, like I

475
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 4: can finally do my yoga without your incessant jumping Jackson

476
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 4: the back, like just all the yes, all the direct

477
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 4: shade cast.

478
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 3: Oh, it doesn't feel right.

479
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:11,399
Speaker 2: It doesn't feel right if your team is in the

480
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 2: playoffs and you have a chance to go and move on,

481
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:18,119
Speaker 2: Like it's really unfortunate because again the transferporter of all

482
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:20,120
Speaker 2: these different things that come into play in college football.

483
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:22,640
Speaker 3: But it just it does not feel right to leave

484
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 3: before the job is done.

485
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 4: Okay, So I went to UCLA. We just got Bob

486
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 4: Chesney from James Madison University. I went to I met

487
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:34,879
Speaker 4: Chesney his intactresss conference. Really cool because he said it

488
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:37,680
Speaker 4: wouldn't sit right with me or I wouldn't want to

489
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 4: go to a new university that wouldn't let me see

490
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 4: out the mission I started. So he is with James

491
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,680
Speaker 4: Madison and he's talking about how his heart and head

492
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 4: are in two different places right now, and that's a

493
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 4: beautiful privilege to have.

494
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 3: It is, but that's the right thing to do, right,

495
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:53,679
Speaker 3: it's the right thing to do. I don't know.

496
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 2: It's hard though, because once you make the announcement as

497
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 2: the players, it's like you're already one foot in, one

498
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:01,360
Speaker 2: foot out. So that it was probably a vote decision

499
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 2: to see what happens, because that's all.

500
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:04,680
Speaker 4: I just never want to go to Lane Kiffin to

501
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:06,919
Speaker 4: leave college football. He is good for the sport like

502
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:09,400
Speaker 4: he has drama and I love it.

503
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:10,200
Speaker 3: It's beautiful.

504
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 5: All right.

545
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:12,160
Speaker 2: Okay, Arash, you were at that crazy Ram Seahawks game

546
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:15,920
Speaker 2: on Thursday. First of all, what was it like in

547
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:19,200
Speaker 2: that stadium for that Seattle comeback with the two point

548
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:19,919
Speaker 2: conversion to win it?

549
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,360
Speaker 6: O T It was surreal? You know, you know, you

550
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:25,120
Speaker 6: you go to you know, late in the fourth quarter,

551
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 6: the Rams are up to thirty to fourteen, You're thinking

552
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 6: the game is over, and then all of a sudden,

553
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 6: it flips, you know. I mean it's just I had

554
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 6: heard that the loominfield literally shakes like it is an earthquake.

555
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:39,400
Speaker 6: And that's when it felt like when they had tied

556
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 6: up the game of certainly the walk off two point

557
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,119
Speaker 6: to win the game, so, you know, game of the years.

558
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:46,640
Speaker 6: I mean, that was certainly the hepes going into the game,

559
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 6: and it lived up to it.

560
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, did Arash?

561
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 4: First and foremost, I got to ask you about that

562
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 4: clam chowder bread bull you.

563
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:54,680
Speaker 3: Got was the best?

564
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 4: Was it?

565
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:56,640
Speaker 3: The best you've ever had.

566
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 4: That just looked insane, and I know Seattle is the

567
00:26:58,600 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 4: place to get clam chowder.

568
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 6: It was. It was incredible. By the way, I am

569
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 6: such a tour so if I go, I'm going to place, Yeah.

570
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 2: I'm gonna did you it's gross fun I've done.

571
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 4: It, okay well, And second, Hirash, you know you're you're

572
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 4: a proud Trojan. You've known Sam Darnold and you've seen

573
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 4: his career just evolve. So first of all, he's just such.

574
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 3: A likable guy.

575
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:29,159
Speaker 4: And to be able to see him succeed against you know,

576
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 4: from the being drafted by the Jets to then you know,

577
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 4: just bopping around and now having this success in Seattle

578
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 4: despite some bad games, to just overcome that even in

579
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 4: that game itself, overcoming the two turnovers and uh, you know,

580
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:46,399
Speaker 4: thriving in the in overtime there. What's it? What's it

581
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 4: like to see him bounce back time and time again?

582
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:52,640
Speaker 6: It was the one silver lightning And someone obviously who

583
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 6: covers Los Angeles sports and was hoping quite selfishly that

584
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 6: we would have some home games, home playoff games for

585
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:01,359
Speaker 6: the Rams. We've seen Sam Donald having the season that

586
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 6: he's had the last two years for the Vikings in

587
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:05,680
Speaker 6: this season for the Seahawks, but it was something when

588
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 6: he went up against the Rams and it certainly looked

589
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 6: like this was going to play out this way where

590
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:11,680
Speaker 6: he's a different quarterback. I mean, he was in three

591
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 6: going into Thursday Night against the Rams to go to

592
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 6: the playoff game a year ago. You go to the

593
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 6: Thursday night game a year ago when he was with

594
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 6: the Vikings. I he's just amazing quarterback these last two seasons,

595
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:25,120
Speaker 6: but it's not been that way when he has gone

596
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,120
Speaker 6: up against the Rams. And so for him to turn

597
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:29,359
Speaker 6: it around and come back and again in the most

598
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:33,400
Speaker 6: unlikely of ways with that weird two point backward past

599
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 6: fumble that didn't look like a fumble from whatever. I

600
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 6: am happy for.

601
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 10: Sam Donald, right, I am.

602
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 6: I am hoping. I think all football fans, by the way,

603
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 6: are hoping this is because of how great these the

604
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 6: two games have been. Maybe we get Ram Seahawks one

605
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 6: more time in the playoffs.

606
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 2: Right, Okay, So do you see the Seahawks as a

607
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 2: legitimate threat to win the NFC even the Super Bowl?

608
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:58,360
Speaker 2: They are I think the second favorites right below the Rams.

609
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 6: It's like this it's so crazy that I still think

610
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:04,240
Speaker 6: the Rams are the best team. They had a ports

611
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 6: propecial team and we saw the newest today about the

612
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 6: special team work. I mean, they are really three. You know,

613
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 6: in again, there's a clear reasons why you lose a game,

614
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 6: But you go to the Philadelphia game, you go to

615
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 6: the San Francisco game, and you go to the game

616
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:18,479
Speaker 6: against Seattle. Really kind of like a couple of plays

617
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 6: on these special teams may have decided that that things

618
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 6: that Seattle is certainly a contender. San Francisco is, but

619
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:28,480
Speaker 6: the Rams offense, defense, and if they can get special

620
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 6: teams short up, I still think that the team to be.

621
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 6: But to your question, Seattle can certainly win it. But

622
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 6: just to why this season is so great, nobody knows

623
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:38,959
Speaker 6: who's gonna win.

624
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 10: There is not a Chiefs team, There's not.

625
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 6: A Philadelphia dominant team. It is wide open this season.

626
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 4: Now, I was just saying the parody. This season has

627
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 4: been so fun when you don't have an inevitable team

628
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 4: like the Chiefs, it's like some teams look great one

629
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 4: week and then it's like what's going on the next

630
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 4: But the Rams have been kind of in the contender

631
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 4: conversation and the most consistently I would say, And it's

632
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 4: just so wild when you think at the start of

633
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 4: the season Matthew Stafford was lying on a glass table

634
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 4: because of his back.

635
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 3: Can he make it right? How much longer is he

636
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 3: going to play?

637
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 4: A rash from being around the team, the partnership between

638
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 4: him and McVeagh, the emergence of Puka nakua, Like what

639
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 4: what is it about it that makes them work?

640
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 6: They are just so comfortable together, you know, Stafford and mcdagh.

641
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 6: It's just such a great play caller, quarterback combo. But

642
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 6: to your point, we we like at the end of

643
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 6: training camp and at the end of that preseason, I

644
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 6: was really questioning, is Matthew Stafford began to play this

645
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 6: name He's going to retire? Because they were so secretive.

646
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 10: I go back to the last preseason game at home

647
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:49,720
Speaker 10: and they didn't even confirm or deny whether Stafford showed

648
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 10: up to so fight not played obviously, but like, was

649
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 10: he like.

650
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 6: Even in the building? And I was like, well, we'll

651
00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 6: address that later, And I'm like, is he even retire?

652
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 6: So for him? Now I have this season and I listen,

653
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 6: I still think he's by a hair the favorite again.

654
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 6: It's a good thing for the Rams and they closed

655
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 6: out the season as they're going up against the Falcons,

656
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 6: going up against the Cardios. If Stafford can has two

657
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 6: more big games, I think he's you know, one of

658
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 6: his first most valuable player in a season where I

659
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 6: was really questioning if he was even in a plate

660
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 6: in the season, which.

661
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 3: Is absolutely wild.

662
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:27,120
Speaker 2: There was also last week there was a lot of

663
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 2: noise around Pukaakua. He was reportedly fined for his comments

664
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 2: about the officials. He also issued an apology for the

665
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 2: gesture he made on a live stream.

666
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 3: I just I saw you.

667
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 2: McVeigh was asked about it right after the game. Puka

668
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 2: was also asked about it right after the game. What

669
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 2: was the vibe with the team and how do you

670
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 2: see them dealing with this a young player who is

671
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 2: like obviously you know he's learning hard action, he's learning hard.

672
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 6: It was the first time I had seen mcveigh's fluster

673
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 6: during the press conference. The press conference in totality, there's

674
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 6: a point at the midway part where he regathers himself

675
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 6: and realizes, okay, wait a minute, I am talking in

676
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 6: a press conference, like I need to gather at myself.

677
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 6: He did not know about the Fuka Nakua tweet post game.

678
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 6: That is the one indefensible party. Sometimes you agree to

679
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:21,240
Speaker 6: go on on a live stream and maybe you don't

680
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 6: know certain things.

681
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 10: Whatever, you can kind of use it.

682
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:26,760
Speaker 6: Although he's an adult, sad thing said for you to

683
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 6: run to the locker room, like literally minutes after that game,

684
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 6: stick up your phone, go on social media when you

685
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 6: just know the hot water you were in before. That

686
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 6: is indefensible. So again, we've got a long week ahead.

687
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 6: They'll need one change with special teams. Fukaku is going

688
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 6: to be talked to and they're gonna behave that like,

689
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 6: what the heck are you.

690
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 10: Doing with that?

691
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 4: And it's interesting because being around Pooka and hearing him

692
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 4: speak and watching him maybe and he'll go to other

693
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 4: sporting events and take pictures with every fan.

694
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 3: He's a calm, chill doo.

695
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 4: And he's also young.

696
00:32:57,840 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's so young.

697
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 2: And when you're young and you're in the spotlight, you

698
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 2: don't realize how big your platform is and what you

699
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 2: say and how big of an effect it has until

700
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 2: you do something right into and he's learning hard.

701
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 6: Book has never been involved in a controversy really so

702
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 6: not only this, but like if you loop in like

703
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 6: his brother and stuff, just like the worst like week

704
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:23,640
Speaker 6: you could probably have. I think he learns from this.

705
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:26,200
Speaker 6: I think he gathers himself to move on. But just

706
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 6: a really bad week.

707
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 4: I want to take a real big detour here and

708
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 4: ask you, Okay, what the heck is going on with

709
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 4: the Clippers, because it's like drama after drama and.

710
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:37,960
Speaker 3: Chris Paul had a Halloween party.

711
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:38,479
Speaker 4: And no one showed up.

712
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:43,960
Speaker 6: No, and you guys know the party.

713
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:45,640
Speaker 4: I know we would have gone.

714
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 3: That's so sad.

715
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 6: Wedding and you guys were at my wedding. Like if

716
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:50,960
Speaker 6: I had a party and no one showed up, like

717
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 6: that was devastating, but me, it would kind of tell

718
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 6: me where I stood with this team. And so that's

719
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 6: like the really the unfortunate thing on a night where

720
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 6: the Clippers are fading the Lakers, you were really hoping

721
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 6: both teams would be. The really unfortunate thing is if

722
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 6: this was a normal season, he'd be.

723
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 10: Like, all right, tank and get a top five pick

724
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:09,360
Speaker 10: and move on.

725
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:11,759
Speaker 6: Their pick belongs to the Open City.

726
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:14,120
Speaker 10: Yeah, the Tank and they.

727
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 6: Got a top five pick. And by the way, guys,

728
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:18,040
Speaker 6: if they lose tonight to the Lakers, which they probably will,

729
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 6: they will be tied for the worst record in the West,

730
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:23,000
Speaker 6: which is something that I never thought what happened doing

731
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:23,480
Speaker 6: in the wall.

732
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:26,440
Speaker 4: And it's like the news around the team just I mean,

733
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:28,319
Speaker 4: we start with the Kawhi controversy.

734
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so clips are gonna clip, and the.

735
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 3: Just extend that invite. You know, we got your buddy, Ash.

758
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:42,160
Speaker 2: I'm starting with ad do mess around and find out.

759
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:47,680
Speaker 2: Jake Paul caught knocked out last night by Anthony Joshua

760
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:50,919
Speaker 2: a broken jaw in two places.

761
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:52,720
Speaker 3: And the Internet had a field day today. Jake Paul's

762
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:54,720
Speaker 3: reaction to the knockout just doing a big.

763
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 2: Wow every time he got hit, like having his tongue out,

764
00:35:58,640 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 2: like it's not.

765
00:35:59,000 --> 00:35:59,439
Speaker 1: A big deal.

766
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:00,440
Speaker 3: I'm okay.

767
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:05,880
Speaker 4: Is that kind of my face Jack's makes when Alex's baby,

768
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:09,960
Speaker 4: it looks perpetually surprised and enamored with everything. Wow, my

769
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 4: mom is.

770
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:11,879
Speaker 3: Crazy, but I love her.

771
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:15,279
Speaker 2: It's his first fight, like not against an old man,

772
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:17,759
Speaker 2: and his last one, I think was Tyson, So like,

773
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 2: you're facing one of the scariest knockout artists and he

774
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:22,120
Speaker 2: got knocked on his booty.

775
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:22,520
Speaker 3: He's lucky.

776
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:24,160
Speaker 2: It was just a broken jaw, Like that's all I

777
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 2: gotta say. But again, like that was like, I think

778
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:29,919
Speaker 2: one of the highest paydays in boxing, Like you don't

779
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 2: even want any the amount of millions of dollars both

780
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 2: those men made.

781
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 3: It's wild. He's a draw.

782
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 2: I'll give it to him. Jake Paul is a draw.

783
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 2: But that was like naughty, Like that wasn't close.

784
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:42,000
Speaker 4: Okay, do you want me to give you a do

785
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 4: or don't you tell me? Okay, I'm gonna start with

786
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:48,560

00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:37,840
Speaker 4: I don't really mess with mashed potatoes.

945
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:38,560
Speaker 3: Whoa woman?

946
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:39,160
Speaker 4: Yeah?

947
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:45,239
Speaker 3: Whoa psycho path whoa whoa? Okay, so obviously I was

948
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:46,240
Speaker 3: having a Laca party.

949
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:50,440
Speaker 2: Last night, Nikki was at our SOHO Christmas party and

950
00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:54,680
Speaker 2: so yeah, so I's a yoga studio in her Mosa Beach.

951
00:43:54,719 --> 00:43:57,000
Speaker 2: It's also the best six man team in the South Bay.

952
00:43:57,160 --> 00:43:58,600
Speaker 2: It's just facts that were stay.

953
00:43:58,440 --> 00:43:59,759
Speaker 4: Legends made there.

954
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:02,920
Speaker 2: But let's shout out to our founding fathers, Richard Jefferson

955
00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:06,759
Speaker 2: and Nicki Maestrall, Like it's just we we love it.

956
00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:09,920
Speaker 2: Nikki was representing for the two of us last.

957
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:10,200
Speaker 3: Night, right.

958
00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:12,759
Speaker 4: It was very festive and it's really cool because this

959
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:15,200
Speaker 4: is normally a crew that we meet once once a

960
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:17,400
Speaker 4: year and in the summer, in the thick of summer,

961
00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:21,040
Speaker 4: and we got to be festive, and you know, we

962
00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:23,279
Speaker 4: called it six Miss Mary, six mouths. I love that.

963
00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:27,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, I might have an unpopular opinion here.

964
00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:29,080
Speaker 4: I just said I don't like potatoes.

965
00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:31,839
Speaker 3: That is okay. We both might be geting attacked here.

966
00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:36,200
Speaker 2: I love the weeks leading up to Christmas more than

967
00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:37,360
Speaker 2: the actual day of Christmas.

968
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:40,279
Speaker 4: Can I say I love it all?

969
00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:41,120
Speaker 3: You can?

970
00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:45,160
Speaker 4: Okay? Yeah, I do love this time. And I've really,

971
00:44:45,239 --> 00:44:49,440
Speaker 4: i think, grown into trying to cherish every moment that

972
00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:50,400
Speaker 4: you can create.

973
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:53,480
Speaker 2: That's why I like the weeks leading up because I

974
00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:56,520
Speaker 2: think there's just there's like there's so much pressure on

975
00:44:56,600 --> 00:44:58,920
Speaker 2: the actual day for it to be perfect, and you're

976
00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:00,840
Speaker 2: making all these stuffs. F you gotta do this, and

977
00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:02,279
Speaker 2: you gotta do that, and you gotta do this. One

978
00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:04,560
Speaker 2: of the weeks leading up, it's just like, oh, I'm

979
00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:05,080
Speaker 2: so happy.

980
00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:07,240
Speaker 3: Everyone's in a good school. Soon we're going to party.

981
00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:11,920
Speaker 3: Everyone throws like, let's make cookies. Yeah, diets out the window.

982
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:14,839
Speaker 2: Everyone's having a good time, and you're just like you're

983
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:15,520
Speaker 2: here for joy.

984
00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:17,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, and all the day is blend together and all

985
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:18,800
Speaker 4: of a sudden you're like, oh my gosh, I'm not

986
00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:20,680
Speaker 4: don my holiday shopping.

987
00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:21,120
Speaker 10: Okay.

988
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:23,400
Speaker 2: I'm like that's the in between between Christmas and New

989
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:25,879
Speaker 2: Year's where like time does not exist and no one

990
00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:27,800
Speaker 2: knows what day it is unless you work in sports,

991
00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:29,399
Speaker 2: because like we're still on the clock.

992
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:30,520
Speaker 3: Yep, we're here to.

993
00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:32,480
Speaker 2: Tell you what day it is and how to have

994
00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:35,480
Speaker 2: a good time. But ah, I love it. I love

995
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:39,080
Speaker 2: our holiday tangent. Nikki's wearing a great holiday sweater today,

996
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:41,200
Speaker 2: says game over, and it's got a t Rex eating

997
00:45:41,239 --> 00:45:42,160
Speaker 2: three gingerbread men.

998
00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:46,040
Speaker 4: Yes not the gum drop bush. My first ugly Christmas sweater.

999
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:47,719
Speaker 3: I'm not the gum drop.

1000
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:52,319
Speaker 4: I've never owned an ugly Christmas sweater. And I was

1001
00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:55,359
Speaker 4: on a Christmas walk, yeah, and saw a rack of them,

1002
00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:56,600
Speaker 4: So this is like authentic.

1003
00:45:56,800 --> 00:45:56,920
Speaker 3: Oh.

1004
00:45:56,960 --> 00:46:00,120
Speaker 2: I love vintage. That's my favorite. That's my favorite. I

1005
00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:01,160
Speaker 2: love I have a Star Wars one.

1006
00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:04,120
Speaker 4: I don't know how dinosaurs have entered the Christmas chat why,

1007
00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:06,880
Speaker 4: because I've seen a couple. Now I've seen it's a theme.

1008
00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:09,440
Speaker 4: Since when did Dino's become festive?

1009
00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:10,200
Speaker 3: Dinah Rock?

1010
00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:10,880
Speaker 4: Yeah?

1011
00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:16,759
Speaker 3: Hell yeah, the drop? No, Okay, Okay, let's let's get

1012
00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:17,319
Speaker 3: back on the road.

1013
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:19,040
Speaker 2: Let's get back. We took a hard left, which I

1014
00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:21,800
Speaker 2: love doing. Okay, let's dive back into the NFL because

1015
00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:25,480
Speaker 2: it's a new era. You guys in the AFC, I

1016
00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:28,560
Speaker 2: think it's no, it's a new era. Mahomes and the

1017
00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:31,480
Speaker 2: Chiefs were eliminated from the playoffs for the first time

1018
00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:35,400
Speaker 2: since twenty fourteen. It's kind of having this feeling that

1019
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:39,120
Speaker 2: it might be Travis Kelcey's last season. Nothing has been

1020
00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:42,000
Speaker 2: reported and like no one has actually said it, but

1021
00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:43,759
Speaker 2: like it was a big story this week, like is

1022
00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:45,239
Speaker 2: he going to play the last three games? Of course

1023
00:46:45,239 --> 00:46:46,959
Speaker 2: he's going to play the last three games. Why because

1024
00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:52,280
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes isn't there. I it's feeling and leading towards

1025
00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:58,480
Speaker 2: the way that this that this might be it for him.

1026
00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:04,319
Speaker 4: I just Okay, So we just watched Philip Rivers come

1027
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:06,520
Speaker 4: back at forty four years old, and I know he's

1028
00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:08,160
Speaker 4: not running around different than.

1029
00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:10,120
Speaker 2: A tight end, yes, different than a tight end who

1030
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:12,279
Speaker 2: just takes a beating constantly throughout the entire game.

1031
00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:14,080
Speaker 4: Do you see a world And I kind of want

1032
00:47:14,080 --> 00:47:18,279
Speaker 4: to make this a take. I'm I'm like, lightly, I'm

1033
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:22,080
Speaker 4: one foot standing on business with this take. Let's say

1034
00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:27,040
Speaker 4: you know Travis theoretically retires at the end of this season. Yeah,

1035
00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:30,960
Speaker 4: and you know Patrick heals from his ACL tearr. You know,

1036
00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:33,759
Speaker 4: they're not back in the Super Bowl next year, but

1037
00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:36,640
Speaker 4: it's the year after and they're knocking on the door

1038
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:39,680
Speaker 4: of another AFC championship and they pick up the phone,

1039
00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:42,520
Speaker 4: Travis want to come join us?

1040
00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:44,680
Speaker 2: I mean, we saw Tom Brady do with Gronk, right,

1041
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:47,520
Speaker 2: Tom Brady Buss saw Gronk out of retirement, and this

1042
00:47:47,600 --> 00:47:51,520
Speaker 2: is the this is the only other comparable quarterback tight end.

1043
00:47:51,719 --> 00:47:54,239
Speaker 2: Do I think of our generation that we can talk

1044
00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:59,480
Speaker 2: about and do because I mean, I would love that.

1045
00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:03,600
Speaker 2: That's the I'm rooting for Mahomes. Kelsey's like postseason numbers

1046
00:48:03,640 --> 00:48:06,560
Speaker 2: are legendary. They have the most completions, they have the

1047
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:10,400
Speaker 2: most yards, they have the most touchdowns, like from a

1048
00:48:10,480 --> 00:48:16,640
Speaker 2: quarterback target combination in the postseason in NFL history. It's just,

1049
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:20,000
Speaker 2: you know, it's this whole season is just it was heartbreaking,

1050
00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:22,880
Speaker 2: like seeing Mahomes go down and Tear's ACL. He already

1051
00:48:22,880 --> 00:48:24,560
Speaker 2: had surgery on Monday. You never want to see the

1052
00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:27,400
Speaker 2: best of the best go down with injury. But his

1053
00:48:27,480 --> 00:48:30,480
Speaker 2: timeline to be back is at least nine months. That's

1054
00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:32,440
Speaker 2: early September, maybe the start of the season. But you

1055
00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:34,319
Speaker 2: don't want to rush him back and then have them

1056
00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:36,319
Speaker 2: get injured and then deal with this whole situation that

1057
00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:39,919
Speaker 2: you're dealing with right now, where if he could injure

1058
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:45,240
Speaker 2: himself again. I mean, their last home game this season,

1059
00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:47,719
Speaker 2: I think is Christmas against the Broncos.

1060
00:48:48,320 --> 00:48:50,240
Speaker 3: Will that be the last time Travis plays an arrowhead?

1061
00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:53,960
Speaker 4: Well, okay, before we go there, I also think you

1062
00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:56,719
Speaker 4: have to look at this Chief's organization, which is a

1063
00:48:56,840 --> 00:48:58,319
Speaker 4: championship organization.

1064
00:48:58,680 --> 00:49:02,400
Speaker 2: They were dynasty, the last dynasty after the Patriots.

1065
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:05,839
Speaker 4: And I feel weird saying we're like, I'm not I'm

1066
00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:08,399
Speaker 4: not ready to say past tense yet, but I mean,

1067
00:49:08,960 --> 00:49:10,360
Speaker 4: but also.

1068
00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:11,120
Speaker 3: It's not getting better.

1069
00:49:11,239 --> 00:49:14,400
Speaker 4: You think about how much football these players have played

1070
00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:17,840
Speaker 4: over the past five years and the extended runs, and

1071
00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:20,799
Speaker 4: it's really crazy to think that they'll be playing a

1072
00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:22,680
Speaker 4: meaningless regular season game.

1073
00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:26,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're gonna be the ones trying to upset who

1074
00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:27,239
Speaker 2: they're playing opposed to.

1075
00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:29,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, like, let's just cause a little chaos for the

1076
00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:31,160
Speaker 4: heck of it.

1077
00:49:31,600 --> 00:49:33,000
Speaker 3: But that's all it is. But it's hard.

1078
00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:35,399
Speaker 2: Like again, going back to Travis Kelsey the way he's

1079
00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:38,080
Speaker 2: been talking about this season. We heard him talk about

1080
00:49:38,160 --> 00:49:42,080
Speaker 2: how much training and work he put in this last

1081
00:49:42,120 --> 00:49:45,200
Speaker 2: offseason because he came off the worst statistical season of

1082
00:49:45,200 --> 00:49:46,959
Speaker 2: his career last year.

1083
00:49:47,560 --> 00:49:49,200
Speaker 3: And this is just.

1084
00:49:49,360 --> 00:49:53,080
Speaker 2: I think Father Time being undefeated because he came in,

1085
00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:57,080
Speaker 2: he did the work, he was in good shape. It's

1086
00:49:57,200 --> 00:50:01,160
Speaker 2: your body at some point when you play a position

1087
00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:03,920
Speaker 2: like tight end, as we saw with again Gronk, like

1088
00:50:04,040 --> 00:50:06,399
Speaker 2: your body just kind of gives up at a certain time.

1089
00:50:06,440 --> 00:50:10,080
Speaker 4: I'm rooting for late a late run return.

1090
00:50:10,239 --> 00:50:12,920
Speaker 2: I mean two or three years. Don't call it a comeback.

1091
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:14,960
Speaker 2: You never know again. Like I don't think anyone had

1092
00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:19,240
Speaker 2: on the beach of card Philip Rivers five years later

1093
00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:23,040
Speaker 2: coming back out of retirement to start a game for

1094
00:50:23,120 --> 00:50:25,160
Speaker 2: the Colts and like having them in it and like

1095
00:50:25,239 --> 00:50:26,160
Speaker 2: doing a good job.

1096
00:50:26,760 --> 00:50:28,240
Speaker 3: Like that is wild.

1097
00:50:28,360 --> 00:50:30,600
Speaker 4: So anything can happen.

1098
00:50:30,640 --> 00:50:33,000
Speaker 2: Don't cry because it's over. Be happy that it happened.

1099
00:50:33,239 --> 00:50:36,879
Speaker 2: You know, Chiefs fans like, take a breather. You guys

1100
00:50:36,920 --> 00:50:42,680
Speaker 2: have been the kings of the AFC for as long

1101
00:50:42,719 --> 00:50:44,879
Speaker 2: as Patrick Mahomes has been in the league. It's gonna

1102
00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:46,680
Speaker 2: be the first time since twenty ten that Mahomes or

1103
00:50:46,719 --> 00:50:49,360
Speaker 2: Tom Brady I would be in an AFC championship nugget.

1104
00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:51,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like that's wild.

1105
00:50:51,960 --> 00:50:54,680
Speaker 2: So the question is who is going to be crowned

1106
00:50:54,719 --> 00:50:57,200
Speaker 2: the new king of the AFC.

1107
00:50:57,560 --> 00:51:00,440
Speaker 3: Right, Burrow is out Lamar Jackson and is on the

1108
00:51:00,480 --> 00:51:02,080
Speaker 3: outside looking at.

1109
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:04,040
Speaker 4: It going on with him and Harba by the way,

1110
00:51:04,200 --> 00:51:04,680
Speaker 4: I don't.

1111
00:51:04,520 --> 00:51:07,359
Speaker 2: Know, man, but he's also been in like his knee, ankle, toe,

1112
00:51:07,440 --> 00:51:11,480
Speaker 2: hammy sickness. He's just I feel like he's constantly injured

1113
00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:15,000
Speaker 2: this season, which is tough. They still, you know, they

1114
00:51:15,040 --> 00:51:16,279
Speaker 2: still have the chance, but they have to beat the

1115
00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:22,080
Speaker 2: Steelers but there are some There are some solid quarterbacks,

1116
00:51:22,680 --> 00:51:25,640
Speaker 2: like who have a chance now that Mahomes the King

1117
00:51:25,760 --> 00:51:30,000
Speaker 2: is not in the postseason? Uh, this year you got

1118
00:51:30,080 --> 00:51:32,520
Speaker 2: Josh Allen and the Bills, Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers,

1119
00:51:32,640 --> 00:51:34,880
Speaker 2: Justin Herbert and the Chargers, Drake May and the Patriots,

1120
00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:38,160
Speaker 2: who like has been the pleasant surprise I think for

1121
00:51:38,200 --> 00:51:39,200
Speaker 2: everybody this season.

1122
00:51:39,280 --> 00:51:40,440
Speaker 3: Bonnicks and the Broncos.

1123
00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:43,520
Speaker 4: And put some respect on Trevor Lawrence and the Jags.

1124
00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:49,520
Speaker 2: Okay, I yeah, I know you're hot on them. That

1125
00:51:49,640 --> 00:51:52,960
Speaker 2: was your nailed it and failed it. I don't know

1126
00:51:53,080 --> 00:51:57,719
Speaker 2: if I trust them in the postseason against all of

1127
00:51:57,760 --> 00:51:59,279
Speaker 2: these other Well, I'm kind of.

1128
00:51:59,239 --> 00:52:01,560
Speaker 4: Like I've like bo Nicks and the Broncos might be

1129
00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:03,600
Speaker 4: a little bit of a farce. And I think it's

1130
00:52:03,640 --> 00:52:05,359
Speaker 4: like approved, I know they've got the best run.

1131
00:52:05,480 --> 00:52:06,040
Speaker 3: I mean it could.

1132
00:52:06,320 --> 00:52:08,560
Speaker 2: He got into the playoffs last season, but he lost

1133
00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:10,720
Speaker 2: to the Bills, so he doesn't have the playoff experience.

1134
00:52:10,719 --> 00:52:13,400
Speaker 2: And this is where I think it's tough with a

1135
00:52:13,440 --> 00:52:15,720
Speaker 2: lot of these quarterbacks who don't have playoff experience. Everyone

1136
00:52:15,760 --> 00:52:20,200
Speaker 2: that I just listed what Rogers, let's tells like Rogers

1137
00:52:20,239 --> 00:52:23,560
Speaker 2: has the most playoff experience currently leading the AFC North.

1138
00:52:24,640 --> 00:52:27,279
Speaker 2: He's also the only quarterback with a Super Bowl ring

1139
00:52:27,640 --> 00:52:31,320
Speaker 2: that we just listed off. But again, like they have. Okay,

1140
00:52:31,360 --> 00:52:33,600
Speaker 2: it's not an easy road Josh Allen and the Bills.

1141
00:52:33,880 --> 00:52:36,040
Speaker 2: He's seven and six in the playoffs, but Mahomes has

1142
00:52:36,040 --> 00:52:38,520
Speaker 2: always been his biggest hurdle to get over.

1143
00:52:38,480 --> 00:52:38,960
Speaker 4: In the past.

1144
00:52:39,080 --> 00:52:43,879
Speaker 2: Is this feels like it should be Josh Allen's year,

1145
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:46,040
Speaker 2: But that means all the pressure is on him because

1146
00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:48,719
Speaker 2: it's a season with no Mahomes. Can he carry this

1147
00:52:48,800 --> 00:52:51,000
Speaker 2: team to a super Bowl? He hasn't been able to.

1148
00:52:52,760 --> 00:52:55,560
Speaker 2: I guess what, like lead the division because here you

1149
00:52:55,600 --> 00:52:57,279
Speaker 2: have Drake May and the Patriots, Like.

1150
00:52:57,600 --> 00:52:59,640
Speaker 4: Herbert hasn't had any postseason success.

1151
00:52:59,800 --> 00:53:04,880
Speaker 2: Helo, he's Ohen too and one of those losses was

1152
00:53:04,920 --> 00:53:06,719
Speaker 2: to the Jags and he blew a twenty seven point lead.

1153
00:53:06,880 --> 00:53:10,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, so what I like, Let's say we're doing AFC

1154
00:53:10,440 --> 00:53:13,520
Speaker 4: quarterback tiers right now. Of the elite group we just mentioned,

1155
00:53:13,640 --> 00:53:19,120
Speaker 4: I'm gonna have Alan alone, Yeah, right below him, I'm

1156
00:53:19,120 --> 00:53:25,640
Speaker 4: gonna put May, Herbert, and I'm gonna put Laurence up there,

1157
00:53:26,320 --> 00:53:29,440
Speaker 4: and then below that, I'm gonna put Rogers and Nicks.

1158
00:53:30,360 --> 00:53:31,560
Speaker 4: What are your tears.

1159
00:53:32,239 --> 00:53:34,520
Speaker 2: I'm gonna put Rogers a little higher up there, Okay, Like,

1160
00:53:34,600 --> 00:53:37,800
Speaker 2: this is a guy who has the experience. Again, I

1161
00:53:37,840 --> 00:53:40,479
Speaker 2: didn't have a lot of faith in him coming into

1162
00:53:40,480 --> 00:53:45,520
Speaker 2: this season. Again, coming off of an achilles injury, this

1163
00:53:45,560 --> 00:53:48,160
Speaker 2: late in your career, bouncing around teams and just not

1164
00:53:48,280 --> 00:53:50,440
Speaker 2: having the success I think everyone thought he was going

1165
00:53:50,520 --> 00:53:52,919
Speaker 2: to have with the Jets and then Steelers at the

1166
00:53:53,280 --> 00:53:55,600
Speaker 2: like literally at the buzzer, being like, all right, we

1167
00:53:55,680 --> 00:54:02,080
Speaker 2: got him, let's go. It's definitely been a more positive

1168
00:54:02,120 --> 00:54:04,960
Speaker 2: situation than I expected. He hasn't been in the media,

1169
00:54:05,120 --> 00:54:07,680
Speaker 2: like outside of the game as much as we're used to,

1170
00:54:07,719 --> 00:54:12,279
Speaker 2: Like he's not on the Pat McAfee show, nobody. I

1171
00:54:12,560 --> 00:54:15,520
Speaker 2: feel like it's a little more just kind of focusing

1172
00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:23,479
Speaker 2: on everything. So I I anything can happen. I'm gonna

1173
00:54:23,480 --> 00:54:25,120
Speaker 2: pu Yeah, I'm gonna put Josh Allen at the top.

1174
00:54:25,719 --> 00:54:30,359
Speaker 2: Okay here, and again this is postseason, not regular season, right,

1175
00:54:35,200 --> 00:54:37,840
Speaker 2: It's hard. I think they're all kind of right there

1176
00:54:37,880 --> 00:54:43,719
Speaker 2: because the Herbert not having playoff success, Drake May having

1177
00:54:43,719 --> 00:54:45,640
Speaker 2: an incredible sophomore season.

1178
00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:47,480
Speaker 3: Bo Nick's also just.

1179
00:54:49,600 --> 00:54:52,239
Speaker 2: And I think my tier was Sean Payton is like

1180
00:54:52,760 --> 00:54:54,200
Speaker 2: as it's insane.

1181
00:54:54,280 --> 00:54:55,320
Speaker 3: That's the reason.

1182
00:54:55,480 --> 00:54:57,239
Speaker 2: Like he is where he is and he is having

1183
00:54:57,239 --> 00:55:02,040
Speaker 2: the success that he is having in his career so far, Alan.

1184
00:55:03,280 --> 00:55:05,479
Speaker 3: It has to be like if it has, it has

1185
00:55:05,520 --> 00:55:06,480
Speaker 3: to be. This has to be.

1186
00:55:06,760 --> 00:55:09,359
Speaker 4: And he's got the baby bump, like I always call

1187
00:55:09,400 --> 00:55:12,799
Speaker 4: it when players have babies, they always I feel like

1188
00:55:12,800 --> 00:55:14,239
Speaker 4: they're games after they.

1189
00:55:14,800 --> 00:55:17,560
Speaker 3: There is there is a stat I remember hearing this.

1190
00:55:18,040 --> 00:55:20,000
Speaker 2: I don't want to butcher it, but like players who

1191
00:55:20,920 --> 00:55:26,240
Speaker 2: like just become parents have like their best years ever

1192
00:55:26,960 --> 00:55:27,520
Speaker 2: after the kids.

1193
00:55:27,640 --> 00:55:30,040
Speaker 4: So are you saying you're in your MVP year right now?

1194
00:55:30,320 --> 00:55:31,520
Speaker 3: I mean I'm always in Miami.

1195
00:55:31,600 --> 00:55:32,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, oh duh yeah?

1196
00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:37,560
Speaker 2: Also not yeah, not on the field anymore. We are

1197
00:55:37,880 --> 00:55:39,120
Speaker 2: decades retired.

1198
00:55:39,320 --> 00:55:41,520
Speaker 4: Any studio though, MVP studio.

1199
00:55:41,800 --> 00:55:42,319
Speaker 3: I'll take that.

1200
00:55:43,880 --> 00:55:44,280
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1201
00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:47,040
Speaker 3: I it's hard because.

1202
00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:52,719
Speaker 2: I thought, again my failed it situation and take is,

1203
00:55:52,880 --> 00:55:56,440
Speaker 2: I thought Burrow was going to be in this conversation

1204
00:55:57,640 --> 00:56:00,279
Speaker 2: and he's not. So who's going to be the new king?

1205
00:56:00,320 --> 00:56:01,919
Speaker 2: I'm putting my money on Josh Allen me too.

1206
00:56:02,880 --> 00:56:06,120
Speaker 4: That's not that's not very like, you know, controversial of me,

1207
00:56:06,160 --> 00:56:08,840
Speaker 4: but I looking at that list, it's Alan and I

1208
00:56:08,880 --> 00:56:11,479
Speaker 4: also just I mean I I was kind of looking

1209
00:56:11,480 --> 00:56:15,880
Speaker 4: at those names in terms of pure play, not necessarily postseason.

1210
00:56:15,960 --> 00:56:18,320
Speaker 2: No, no, this is postseason where anything can happen. Who's

1211
00:56:18,320 --> 00:56:20,640
Speaker 2: going to be the new king of the AFC. I'm

1212
00:56:20,680 --> 00:56:24,680
Speaker 2: gonna go Josh Allen? Yeah, yeah, yeah, all right. You

1213
00:56:24,680 --> 00:56:27,840
Speaker 2: don't have to agree with me. You were hot for Lawrence?

1214
00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:30,200
Speaker 4: No, no, no, no, no, I'm but I'm taking me take.

1215
00:56:31,480 --> 00:56:33,600
Speaker 4: I know, but I believe in Josh Allen and I

1216
00:56:33,640 --> 00:56:36,239
Speaker 4: think he's sensational, and I think he's MVP. You know,

1217
00:56:36,280 --> 00:56:40,880
Speaker 4: he's the reigning MVP for a reason. And I what

1218
00:56:40,920 --> 00:56:45,359
Speaker 4: they did against the Patriots, like, I just think he's

1219
00:56:45,400 --> 00:56:45,680
Speaker 4: the man.

1220
00:56:45,840 --> 00:56:47,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, and when he wants to, he can step up

1221
00:56:47,680 --> 00:56:49,000
Speaker 2: and he can get it done. All Right, guys, we're

1222
00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:50,520
Speaker 2: gonna take a quick break here when we come back.

00:57:56,640 --> 00:57:57,440
Speaker 3: I don't know if I've heard that.

1253
00:57:57,480 --> 00:58:01,040
Speaker 4: Oh my god, Justin Bieber's Christmas album so underrated. Okay,

1254
00:58:01,120 --> 00:58:02,240
Speaker 4: you got to you gotta put it out.

1255
00:58:02,360 --> 00:58:04,080
Speaker 3: Okay, No, I don't listen to that. On the way home.

1256
00:58:04,160 --> 00:58:09,919
Speaker 2: I've been doing Christmas jazz, a jazzy Christmas elitist. Okay,

1257
00:58:10,440 --> 00:58:12,480
Speaker 2: I'm a I start my day with like I go

1258
00:58:12,520 --> 00:58:14,320
Speaker 2: through like my different phases and playlists.

1259
00:58:14,680 --> 00:58:16,520
Speaker 3: I wake up with jazzy morning.

1260
00:58:16,360 --> 00:58:20,000
Speaker 2: Like coffee table jazz, and it's like peaceful and fun,

1261
00:58:20,040 --> 00:58:23,280
Speaker 2: and then we get into like Fleetwood Mac Radio, and

1262
00:58:23,320 --> 00:58:26,240
Speaker 2: then we get into Jimmy Hendricks Radio, and then we're

1263
00:58:26,280 --> 00:58:29,040
Speaker 2: like we get into rock and blues, and then it's

1264
00:58:29,080 --> 00:58:31,520
Speaker 2: pop midday for the pick me up, and then we

1265
00:58:31,560 --> 00:58:33,000
Speaker 2: go back to Christmas jazz at night.

1266
00:58:33,520 --> 00:58:36,200
Speaker 4: All right, Yeah, that is way more sophisticated than my

1267
00:58:37,080 --> 00:58:40,400
Speaker 4: than my girly pop Spotify playlist that I have and

1268
00:58:40,480 --> 00:58:41,920
Speaker 4: listen to on repeat.

1269
00:58:42,000 --> 00:58:43,520
Speaker 3: I love it. We love it, though.

1270
00:58:43,560 --> 00:58:47,360
Speaker 2: Okay, let's talk about who's in the hot seat, Okay,

1271
00:58:47,440 --> 00:58:50,160
Speaker 2: because what we got three games left for a lot

1272
00:58:50,160 --> 00:58:55,040
Speaker 2: of these teams, and this might be the last three

1273
00:58:55,080 --> 00:58:58,240
Speaker 2: games for I think a few of these coaches with

1274
00:58:58,320 --> 00:59:03,160
Speaker 2: their franchise, and I'm gonna start with Mike McDaniels and

1275
00:59:03,280 --> 00:59:06,960
Speaker 2: the Dolphins.

1276
00:59:07,560 --> 00:59:10,560
Speaker 3: It has not looked great.

1277
00:59:10,800 --> 00:59:13,560
Speaker 2: I think the biggest move was that they benched Tua

1278
00:59:13,600 --> 00:59:18,320
Speaker 2: this week, who was benched for a rookie and two

1279
00:59:18,320 --> 00:59:22,080
Speaker 2: whistle has three years remaining on his contract, with fifty

1280
00:59:22,080 --> 00:59:25,280
Speaker 2: six point four million dollars guaranteed in twenty twenty six.

1281
00:59:25,320 --> 00:59:26,800
Speaker 3: I'm betting his time is done.

1282
00:59:26,960 --> 00:59:31,120
Speaker 4: I'm I'm in Miami with you. I just too, you

1283
00:59:31,120 --> 00:59:35,840
Speaker 4: know why. Okay, there's a great article by Marcel Luis

1284
00:59:35,920 --> 00:59:41,480
Speaker 4: Jacques on ESPN dot com and he detailed who Mike

1285
00:59:41,560 --> 00:59:43,200
Speaker 4: McDaniel is to these players.

1286
00:59:43,320 --> 00:59:46,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh we know. I am a huge Mike McDaniel fan.

1287
00:59:47,280 --> 00:59:50,800
Speaker 4: But the investment he has in that locker room, and

1288
00:59:50,880 --> 00:59:55,760
Speaker 4: I think for a franchise that has they've got problems,

1289
00:59:55,760 --> 00:59:59,680
Speaker 4: and they started off, they started off bad, but they

1290
00:59:59,840 --> 01:00:02,400
Speaker 4: they I found a little bit of momentum here and

1291
01:00:02,480 --> 01:00:04,720
Speaker 4: I think benching Tua was the right move.

1292
01:00:05,160 --> 01:00:08,000
Speaker 3: His time's done. I think that's that's it for him

1293
01:00:08,160 --> 01:00:08,880
Speaker 3: in Miami.

1294
01:00:09,000 --> 01:00:10,880
Speaker 4: I don't think that's a McDaniel problem.

1295
01:00:11,520 --> 01:00:15,640
Speaker 2: He's been leading this team right, but I don't sometimes

1296
01:00:15,680 --> 01:00:18,400
Speaker 2: you need like a full shift change.

1297
01:00:19,080 --> 01:00:23,080
Speaker 4: I would. I think he's safe. I don't think his Yeah,

1298
01:00:23,120 --> 01:00:23,520
Speaker 4: who do you.

1299
01:00:23,480 --> 01:00:24,840
Speaker 3: Think something hot seat?

1300
01:00:25,160 --> 01:00:30,240
Speaker 4: Well, not for virtue of his problems, but just the problems.

1301
01:00:30,760 --> 01:00:34,120
Speaker 4: Like another franchise that's just mired in trouble, are the

1302
01:00:34,200 --> 01:00:36,760
Speaker 4: Oakland Raiders. I think Pete Carroll needs to walk away

1303
01:00:36,760 --> 01:00:39,080
Speaker 4: from the job. I don't think you stay for another year.

1304
01:00:39,120 --> 01:00:41,120
Speaker 4: I think you leave your with your dignity INtime.

1305
01:00:41,600 --> 01:00:45,120
Speaker 2: I mean he's signed a three year deal with option

1306
01:00:46,840 --> 01:00:49,320
Speaker 2: this season, no more two to twelve. I mean it's

1307
01:00:49,320 --> 01:00:51,960
Speaker 2: hard because he's a like Pete Curle's a defensive coach,

1308
01:00:52,280 --> 01:00:55,400
Speaker 2: and the Raiders defense is sixteenth in points allowed in

1309
01:00:55,440 --> 01:00:56,120
Speaker 2: twenty fifth.

1310
01:00:57,480 --> 01:00:59,840
Speaker 3: It just it's it's bad.

1311
01:01:00,200 --> 01:01:01,920
Speaker 2: I think he's got to get out of Raiders offenses

1312
01:01:02,040 --> 01:01:05,200
Speaker 2: last in both total yards per game and points per game.

1313
01:01:05,800 --> 01:01:10,040
Speaker 2: They're like, they're clearly in a rebuild and Pete Carroll

1314
01:01:10,080 --> 01:01:12,120
Speaker 2: turned seventy five next September.

1315
01:01:12,160 --> 01:01:15,400
Speaker 4: Why would he sign himself up to deal with this again.

1316
01:01:15,160 --> 01:01:16,160
Speaker 3: Well, when you love the game.

1317
01:01:16,320 --> 01:01:18,160
Speaker 2: I just I think they thought there was a chance

1318
01:01:18,240 --> 01:01:22,120
Speaker 2: and the Raiders just have a lot more work to

1319
01:01:22,160 --> 01:01:23,200
Speaker 2: be done than just.

1320
01:01:23,760 --> 01:01:27,200
Speaker 4: Tom Brady walking around in a Raiders sweatsuit. Really had

1321
01:01:27,240 --> 01:01:28,320
Speaker 4: a selling like.

1322
01:01:30,440 --> 01:01:35,680
Speaker 2: Ownerships now, But it's it's more than just coach who again,

1323
01:01:35,760 --> 01:01:38,960
Speaker 2: I don't know, we thought maybe like he could.

1324
01:01:38,760 --> 01:01:42,920
Speaker 3: Be the culture the culture fit that they needed. I

1325
01:01:42,920 --> 01:01:43,360
Speaker 3: don't know.

1326
01:01:44,040 --> 01:01:46,640
Speaker 2: I like your I like your take that, like maybe

1327
01:01:46,640 --> 01:01:49,200
Speaker 2: he should just walk away opposed to them firing him,

1328
01:01:49,200 --> 01:01:51,480
Speaker 2: But like, are you going to walk away from millions

1329
01:01:51,520 --> 01:01:54,440
Speaker 2: of dollars? I think he's like a job that like

1330
01:01:54,480 --> 01:01:56,160
Speaker 2: you think, like, okay.

1331
01:01:55,800 --> 01:01:58,440
Speaker 4: But two and twelve it's not fun.

1332
01:01:58,880 --> 01:02:00,880
Speaker 3: It's not fun. Like are they going to go back?

1333
01:02:00,920 --> 01:02:03,560
Speaker 2: Are they going to go out and get acause this

1334
01:02:03,640 --> 01:02:06,240
Speaker 2: is a really good quarterback draft. Do you go out

1335
01:02:06,280 --> 01:02:08,320
Speaker 2: and get a star quarterback? Or do you go out

1336
01:02:08,360 --> 01:02:11,240
Speaker 2: and fill all the needs that this team needs to

1337
01:02:11,360 --> 01:02:14,680
Speaker 2: be a contending team again, because again that's another fun

1338
01:02:14,720 --> 01:02:18,480
Speaker 2: franchise that when they're good, Raider fans are gnarly.

1339
01:02:18,680 --> 01:02:21,240
Speaker 4: But then again it goes it goes the other way too,

1340
01:02:21,320 --> 01:02:24,400
Speaker 4: like if they miss in the draft and they're terrible again,

1341
01:02:24,600 --> 01:02:27,360
Speaker 4: like this is just an it'll be a bad mark

1342
01:02:27,440 --> 01:02:29,640
Speaker 4: on Pete Carroll's legacy as a coach if I were

1343
01:02:29,720 --> 01:02:30,800
Speaker 4: him walk away.

1344
01:02:32,040 --> 01:02:33,960
Speaker 3: Interesting, All right, let's check out with Martin Wise and

1345
01:02:33,960 --> 01:02:34,680

1352
01:02:59,000 --> 01:03:02,080

01:03:02,120 --> 01:03:05,120
Speaker 8: aj Brown kept the pass and scratch that they're in

1354

Speaker 5: six games, they didn't have George kill for five games.

1406
01:05:34,840 --> 01:05:37,040
Speaker 5: They're going to be on their seventh game Monday not

1407
01:05:37,160 --> 01:05:39,880
Speaker 5: having Ricky Piersal he was ruled out safe, and that

1408
01:05:40,160 --> 01:05:43,439
Speaker 5: Tatum but Soon was injured. Like there everybody that could

1409
01:05:43,440 --> 01:05:46,040
Speaker 5: be injured honestly has been injured. So it's been such

1410
01:05:46,040 --> 01:05:48,360
Speaker 5: a shuffle and I think it's such a credit to

1411
01:05:48,440 --> 01:05:52,800
Speaker 5: Kyle Shanahan and Robert Sala for keeping them focused and

1412
01:05:53,440 --> 01:05:56,400
Speaker 5: to the veterans on this team for keeping everybody focused.

1413
01:05:56,440 --> 01:05:58,400
Speaker 5: They really have taken it one game at a time.

1414
01:05:58,440 --> 01:06:00,680
Speaker 5: They obviously got tremendous play out of Mac Jones when

1415
01:06:00,680 --> 01:06:04,320
Speaker 5: Brockbury was out, but it's pretty amazing there in this position.

1416
01:06:04,480 --> 01:06:06,600
Speaker 5: Will they went out that, I'm not so sure, but

1417
01:06:07,440 --> 01:06:10,240
Speaker 5: to be in this position when it looked like you

1418
01:06:10,360 --> 01:06:13,760
Speaker 5: go back to the Tampa Bay game in Week seven,

1419
01:06:13,920 --> 01:06:16,600
Speaker 5: where it looked like the season was basically over, to

1420
01:06:16,720 --> 01:06:19,520
Speaker 5: be here now, it's really attestment to the coaching staff,

1421
01:06:19,520 --> 01:06:21,400
Speaker 5: and I think Kyle Shanahan should be in that Coach

1422
01:06:21,440 --> 01:06:21,840
Speaker 5: of the Year.

1423
01:06:22,400 --> 01:06:26,120
Speaker 4: I was literally just gonna say, Trace, Okay, you're you're

1424
01:06:26,160 --> 01:06:29,240
Speaker 4: walking into an elevator, give me your elevator pitch for

1425
01:06:29,440 --> 01:06:31,520
Speaker 4: Kyle Shanahan as coach of the Year.

1426
01:06:32,640 --> 01:06:34,880
Speaker 5: Well, the forty nine ers is going into Week sixteen

1427
01:06:35,440 --> 01:06:37,600
Speaker 5: controlled her own destiny and to get their number one

1428
01:06:37,600 --> 01:06:40,760
Speaker 5: seed in the NFC and when the NFC West, and

1429
01:06:40,800 --> 01:06:43,880
Speaker 5: that is about Nick Bosa. Fred Warner brought pretty out

1430
01:06:43,880 --> 01:06:46,520
Speaker 5: six games, George hil out five games, and all the

1431
01:06:46,560 --> 01:06:49,800
Speaker 5: Plesora of injuries. Coach of the Year Kyle Shanahan, how's

1432
01:06:49,800 --> 01:06:50,640
Speaker 5: the elevator Fishers?

1433
01:06:50,640 --> 01:06:53,320
Speaker 4: I did, Sharks, I'm asking you for ten percent. No,

1434
01:06:53,440 --> 01:06:54,080
Speaker 4: I'm just kidding.

1435
01:06:54,480 --> 01:06:56,200
Speaker 3: Yes, that was it, you got it.

1436
01:06:56,200 --> 01:06:58,920
Speaker 2: It really is wild when you think that's remarkable, the

1437
01:06:58,920 --> 01:07:03,800
Speaker 2: injuries that they overcame this season. It does help that

1438
01:07:03,840 --> 01:07:07,920
Speaker 2: they have one of the easier schedules in the NFL.

1439
01:07:08,120 --> 01:07:10,960
Speaker 2: Like I think, you also have to like strength of schedule.

1440
01:07:11,320 --> 01:07:13,919
Speaker 2: You have to add that into the mix. But what's

1441
01:07:13,960 --> 01:07:16,520
Speaker 2: been the most impressive thing you've seen from this group

1442
01:07:16,600 --> 01:07:20,120
Speaker 2: when kind of party goes down, top players go down

1443
01:07:20,520 --> 01:07:24,040
Speaker 2: to really just keep it going and be ten and

1444
01:07:24,120 --> 01:07:25,360
Speaker 2: four this season.

1445
01:07:26,400 --> 01:07:28,400
Speaker 5: Well, I know a lot of teams talk a lot

1446
01:07:28,440 --> 01:07:31,040
Speaker 5: about well we block out the noise. The people in

1447
01:07:31,040 --> 01:07:32,360
Speaker 5: this building don't listen to it.

1448
01:07:32,640 --> 01:07:33,600
Speaker 4: They really don't.

1449
01:07:33,680 --> 01:07:37,200
Speaker 5: I mean, they've gone into every game thinking they could

1450
01:07:37,240 --> 01:07:40,760
Speaker 5: win it, and I think this team blocks up the noise.

1451
01:07:40,760 --> 01:07:42,640
Speaker 5: For Granted, I don't cover other teams, so I don't know,

1452
01:07:42,880 --> 01:07:44,480
Speaker 5: but it seems to me that they block out the

1453
01:07:44,520 --> 01:07:47,760
Speaker 5: noise as well as you possibly can. And I think

1454
01:07:47,920 --> 01:07:50,280
Speaker 5: I noticed it a lot with Christian McCaffrey when we

1455
01:07:50,320 --> 01:07:53,440
Speaker 5: talk to him every week, and Christian is always saying,

1456
01:07:53,560 --> 01:07:55,840
Speaker 5: we're focused on this week. It is so easy to

1457
01:07:55,840 --> 01:07:58,280
Speaker 5: lose in the NFL, and we have to go into

1458
01:07:58,280 --> 01:08:01,160
Speaker 5: every game and take it no matter what. And there's

1459
01:08:01,160 --> 01:08:03,680
Speaker 5: something about the way he says it. There's a consistency

1460
01:08:03,720 --> 01:08:07,360
Speaker 5: of his message, which means a consistency along the team.

1461
01:08:08,000 --> 01:08:11,400
Speaker 5: And I just think that's been really, really impressive because

1462
01:08:11,440 --> 01:08:14,400
Speaker 5: even when Botha went down, when Fred Warner went down,

1463
01:08:14,440 --> 01:08:17,040
Speaker 5: everybody was really emotional, and he's such a leader on

1464
01:08:17,080 --> 01:08:19,559
Speaker 5: the team, he said face of the franchise, such a

1465
01:08:19,560 --> 01:08:21,880
Speaker 5: big part of the Bay Area community, and they were

1466
01:08:22,320 --> 01:08:24,640
Speaker 5: very emotional. But by the time they got back to

1467
01:08:24,680 --> 01:08:27,920
Speaker 5: practice on Wednesday, it was like, okay, but this is

1468
01:08:27,960 --> 01:08:31,280
Speaker 5: what it is, and now we move forward forwards Data Bassoon,

1469
01:08:31,320 --> 01:08:33,720
Speaker 5: You're up and let's go. And I think that has

1470
01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:36,200
Speaker 5: put them in this position. Yes, the strength of schedule

1471
01:08:36,520 --> 01:08:39,400
Speaker 5: has certainly helped. I think these next three games will

1472
01:08:39,439 --> 01:08:43,240
Speaker 5: give a more realistic idea of where this team stands.

1473
01:08:43,680 --> 01:08:47,520
Speaker 5: But for them to be in this position is pretty impressive.

1474
01:08:48,200 --> 01:08:53,839
Speaker 4: And Tracy a funny overlapping storyline right facing the Colts

1475
01:08:53,920 --> 01:08:58,960
Speaker 4: with Philip Rivers, what is the lure? Didn't Kyle Shanahan

1476
01:08:59,080 --> 01:09:01,680
Speaker 4: say there was one point in a postseason where he

1477
01:09:01,840 --> 01:09:05,320
Speaker 4: was this close to calling up Philip and asking him

1478
01:09:05,320 --> 01:09:07,880
Speaker 4: to come play for the forty nine ers in a game.

1479
01:09:08,840 --> 01:09:10,640
Speaker 5: It sure he sure did. It was the year that

1480
01:09:10,800 --> 01:09:13,719
Speaker 5: Trey Lance went down, Jimmy Garoppolo stepped in, Jimmy Garoppo

1481
01:09:13,720 --> 01:09:16,479
Speaker 5: went down and in Camp Rock party, and that was

1482
01:09:16,520 --> 01:09:18,879
Speaker 5: the season in the playoffs that they'd consider it. Apparently

1483
01:09:18,920 --> 01:09:21,880
Speaker 5: he was on a couple of Zoom meetings. George Kittle

1484
01:09:21,920 --> 01:09:23,479
Speaker 5: said he had no idea he was there, which I

1485
01:09:23,479 --> 01:09:24,160
Speaker 5: think is very.

1486
01:09:24,000 --> 01:09:27,360
Speaker 3: Funny, But he was on a few of the Zoom.

1487
01:09:27,160 --> 01:09:30,439
Speaker 5: Meetings, and I mean, it's it's quite the lore. In fact,

1488
01:09:30,520 --> 01:09:34,840
Speaker 5: I believe that Jason Pinnock the Fortnight are Safety. I

1489
01:09:34,880 --> 01:09:37,080
Speaker 5: think his uncle may have played with Philip Rivers. That's

1490
01:09:37,120 --> 01:09:39,640
Speaker 5: how old Philip Rivers is. And that's kind of just

1491
01:09:39,640 --> 01:09:44,280
Speaker 5: the wow side back on this whole thing. But it's

1492
01:09:44,320 --> 01:09:47,479
Speaker 5: really a fun storyline and the four hours of course

1493
01:09:47,600 --> 01:09:49,880
Speaker 5: running right into it. And I think this is a game.

1494
01:09:50,520 --> 01:09:52,120
Speaker 5: Five six weeks ago this looked like one of the

1495
01:09:52,200 --> 01:09:54,799
Speaker 5: toughest games in the schedule. Obviously, the Colts have suffered

1496
01:09:54,840 --> 01:09:57,360
Speaker 5: quite a few injuries of their own, including a quarterback.

1497
01:09:57,439 --> 01:09:58,920
Speaker 4: So forty four ye old Philip.

1498
01:09:58,720 --> 01:10:02,320
Speaker 5: Rivers is stepping in. It's a game where they got

1499
01:10:02,320 --> 01:10:05,840
Speaker 5: to be careful because the cults are fighting too. And

1500
01:10:06,000 --> 01:10:08,320
Speaker 5: Philip Rivers, for somebody who has not played in five

1501
01:10:08,400 --> 01:10:11,840
Speaker 5: years and at his age, did not look terrible. Kyle

1502
01:10:11,840 --> 01:10:14,599
Speaker 5: Shanahan said, he didn't look as fast by any means.

1503
01:10:14,640 --> 01:10:16,240
Speaker 3: Well for five years.

1504
01:10:16,360 --> 01:10:19,400
Speaker 5: He's a game. The ball still going where he wants

1505
01:10:19,400 --> 01:10:22,240
Speaker 5: it to go, and that's obviously a huge thing for

1506
01:10:22,240 --> 01:10:25,840
Speaker 5: a quarterback. But it's definitely going to be a fun storyline.

1507
01:10:26,000 --> 01:10:29,759
Speaker 5: A few nights before Christmas, Monday Night Football Old Man Phillips,

1508
01:10:29,760 --> 01:10:32,200
Speaker 5: old Man Rivers under center for the Cold.

1509
01:10:32,400 --> 01:10:34,599
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just wild because the forty nine ers

1510
01:10:34,600 --> 01:10:37,519
Speaker 2: can clinch their playoff spot with a win.

1511
01:10:38,280 --> 01:10:40,840
Speaker 3: So does the mentality change.

1512
01:10:40,520 --> 01:10:44,519
Speaker 2: At all because you are going up against a forty

1513
01:10:44,520 --> 01:10:46,840
Speaker 2: four year old grandfather in Philip Rivers.

1514
01:10:47,439 --> 01:10:49,519
Speaker 5: No, I don't think the mentality changes at all, and

1515
01:10:49,560 --> 01:10:52,520
Speaker 5: I think that's why they're in this position. The mentality

1516
01:10:52,560 --> 01:10:54,599
Speaker 5: has not changed week after week, so we don't think

1517
01:10:54,640 --> 01:10:58,920
Speaker 5: to them it matters or makes any difference. So they

1518
01:10:58,960 --> 01:11:00,920
Speaker 5: look at this one as just and it is difficult.

1519
01:11:01,000 --> 01:11:03,880
Speaker 5: You're on the road in Indie, you're a different time zone,

1520
01:11:04,120 --> 01:11:06,719
Speaker 5: and it's a tough game. No matter what, they're still

1521
01:11:06,720 --> 01:11:09,439
Speaker 5: playmakers on that team. The War's run defense has been

1522
01:11:09,479 --> 01:11:12,080
Speaker 5: pretty leaky as of late or pretty much all season,

1523
01:11:12,400 --> 01:11:14,400
Speaker 5: and they're going up against Jonathan Taylor. I mean, this

1524
01:11:14,439 --> 01:11:16,840
Speaker 5: is going to be a tough game for them and

1525
01:11:17,000 --> 01:11:20,720
Speaker 5: a tough matchup, so I would say they have to

1526
01:11:20,760 --> 01:11:23,200
Speaker 5: be really focused. And then today, kind of a surprise,

1527
01:11:23,600 --> 01:11:25,880
Speaker 5: one of their cornerbacks, Ronardo' Green is out with a

1528
01:11:25,960 --> 01:11:29,040
Speaker 5: neck injury and he's been very good for them. He's

1529
01:11:29,040 --> 01:11:31,639
Speaker 5: a starting corner so now you're adding that into the

1530
01:11:31,720 --> 01:11:34,680
Speaker 5: plesor of injuries. They're getting a couple guys back, but

1531
01:11:35,160 --> 01:11:36,680
Speaker 5: they've got to be really focused on this no matter

1532
01:11:36,720 --> 01:11:38,839
Speaker 5: who's playing. Even if I was playing quarterbacks, they would.

1533
01:11:38,640 --> 01:11:41,120
Speaker 2: Have to be pretty focused, which is better than I'm not,

1534
01:11:42,400 --> 01:11:46,720
Speaker 2: you know, and a little different there. But Jersey, I mean,

1535
01:11:46,720 --> 01:11:48,839
Speaker 2: the forty nine ers have always been in the playoff

1536
01:11:48,840 --> 01:11:51,880
Speaker 2: conversation in the NFC in the NFC West for years,

1537
01:11:51,880 --> 01:11:55,680
Speaker 2: but this year how close the NFC West is is

1538
01:11:55,800 --> 01:12:00,640
Speaker 2: absolutely wild, especially after watching that game on Thursday with

1539
01:12:00,720 --> 01:12:04,360
Speaker 2: the Seahawks coming back to beat the Rams. What was

1540
01:12:04,520 --> 01:12:08,240
Speaker 2: kind of the reaction in the locker room with this

1541
01:12:08,320 --> 01:12:10,880
Speaker 2: forty nine ers team now seeing that and knowing that

1542
01:12:10,880 --> 01:12:12,960
Speaker 2: they do control their own destiny, and were they watching it.

1543
01:12:13,040 --> 01:12:15,960
Speaker 2: Was there even a reaction they were watching it.

1544
01:12:16,080 --> 01:12:18,200
Speaker 5: They all admitted that they did watch the game and

1545
01:12:18,240 --> 01:12:21,679
Speaker 5: they thought it was crazy and obviously an incredible game.

1546
01:12:21,760 --> 01:12:24,880
Speaker 5: The two point conversion was a big topic of conversation

1547
01:12:25,120 --> 01:12:28,000
Speaker 5: and everybody being on a high alert. You pick up

1548
01:12:28,000 --> 01:12:30,680
Speaker 5: that ball no matter what to make so you know,

1549
01:12:31,240 --> 01:12:34,439
Speaker 5: so that doesn't happen to you. But Rob pretty made

1550
01:12:34,479 --> 01:12:36,720
Speaker 5: a good point. He said, the reality is is we

1551
01:12:36,760 --> 01:12:41,000
Speaker 5: don't handle business Monday, then none of it matters. So yes,

1552
01:12:41,160 --> 01:12:43,280
Speaker 5: they could get the one seed, but they lose Monday

1553
01:12:43,280 --> 01:12:46,040
Speaker 5: and now they can't. And if they lose Monday, then

1554
01:12:46,040 --> 01:12:48,720
Speaker 5: they have two tough games against the Bears and the Seahawks.

1555
01:12:48,800 --> 01:12:50,240
Speaker 5: They have to win one of them to even go

1556
01:12:50,280 --> 01:12:52,040
Speaker 5: to the playoffs. And Kyle is just saying this, for

1557
01:12:52,080 --> 01:12:55,160
Speaker 5: the last two weeks, you could win out, you could

1558
01:12:55,160 --> 01:12:57,559
Speaker 5: lose out, yes, and easily it could go either way.

1559
01:12:58,000 --> 01:13:00,639
Speaker 5: So they have to be focused. But they he definitely

1560
01:13:00,680 --> 01:13:02,639
Speaker 5: did watch that game, and I think they were all

1561
01:13:02,680 --> 01:13:05,880
Speaker 5: just kind of amazed by the excitement entertainment level of

1562
01:13:05,920 --> 01:13:09,639
Speaker 5: the game. But Brock is right, if they lose, it

1563
01:13:09,680 --> 01:13:12,080
Speaker 5: doesn't really matter. All that excitement goes away. You had

1564
01:13:12,080 --> 01:13:14,120
Speaker 5: three days of being super excited and then it's gone

1565
01:13:14,120 --> 01:13:15,080
Speaker 5: if you lose Monday.

1566
01:13:14,840 --> 01:13:18,360
Speaker 4: Night Tracy, George Kittle is one of my favorite personalities

1567
01:13:18,439 --> 01:13:23,400
Speaker 4: to assume. His quotes from AFAR What has been your

1568
01:13:23,439 --> 01:13:25,479
Speaker 4: favorite thing? He said? This season?

1569
01:13:26,760 --> 01:13:29,280
Speaker 3: Oh wow, that is such a.

1570
01:13:29,240 --> 01:13:32,480
Speaker 4: Give me a couple of give me a couple of kittles.

1571
01:13:33,000 --> 01:13:35,160
Speaker 5: Could I give you a kittle? Can I give you

1572
01:13:35,200 --> 01:13:37,160
Speaker 5: one from last season? And then I can think of

1573
01:13:37,160 --> 01:13:39,280
Speaker 5: one of this season too. Last season they're playing the

1574
01:13:39,320 --> 01:13:41,920
Speaker 5: Bill Sunday Night football. Last season was obviously awful for

1575
01:13:41,960 --> 01:13:46,280
Speaker 5: San Francisco. They get absolutely destroyed by the Bills. And

1576
01:13:46,360 --> 01:13:50,080
Speaker 5: we're in the postgame press conference and I started to

1577
01:13:50,080 --> 01:13:51,920
Speaker 5: ask him a question. I was wearing a beanie with

1578
01:13:51,960 --> 01:13:53,800
Speaker 5: like a big birth thing on the front, and I

1579
01:13:53,840 --> 01:13:57,120
Speaker 5: start to ask him a question and he says, goodness gracious, Tracy,

1580
01:13:57,439 --> 01:13:59,760
Speaker 5: that is the biggest fur I've ever seen on top

1581
01:13:59,760 --> 01:14:02,439
Speaker 5: of the beanie. Also, congratulations on Michigan beating O House,

1582
01:14:03,400 --> 01:14:05,080
Speaker 5: Like this is the.

1583
01:14:06,840 --> 01:14:09,000
Speaker 3: He's a lot. He is just always locked in. We

01:14:09,080 --> 01:14:09,680
Speaker 3: love him for it.

1585
01:14:09,720 --> 01:14:12,120
Speaker 2: We love his Taylor Swift moment, we love everything about it.

1586
01:14:12,840 --> 01:14:13,360
Speaker 4: He really is.

1587
01:14:13,439 --> 01:14:16,040
Speaker 3: He really is, Tracy, thank you so much for coming.

1588
01:14:17,640 --> 01:14:18,680
Speaker 3: Happy holidays.

1589
01:14:18,800 --> 01:14:20,000
Speaker 2: Oh, by the way, I have to give you a

1590
01:14:20,000 --> 01:14:23,400
Speaker 2: shout out the caviar on your loachas. I brought that

1591
01:14:23,479 --> 01:14:26,160
Speaker 2: to my family honka party last night and it was

1592
01:14:26,200 --> 01:14:26,720

1610
01:15:15,439 --> 01:15:20,160
Speaker 2: we're gonna kind of go through our NFL game picks

1611
01:15:20,520 --> 01:15:22,000

01:15:31,600 --> 01:15:32,320
Speaker 4: we gonna see him?

1617
01:15:32,600 --> 01:15:34,400
Speaker 12: I was just yelling at him to snap the ball

1618
01:15:34,439 --> 01:15:37,519
Speaker 12: with more than one second on the play clock, would

1619
01:15:37,560 --> 01:15:40,000
Speaker 12: be nice. We don't have to talk about this game anymore.

1620
01:15:40,000 --> 01:15:42,160
Speaker 3: Thah, we do, Yeah, we do.

1621
01:15:42,320 --> 01:15:43,120
Speaker 1: The game of the.

1622
01:15:43,160 --> 01:15:46,200
Speaker 12: Day today on a Saturday. The last is Packers at

1623
01:15:46,240 --> 01:15:49,400
Speaker 12: Bears in Chicago. The Bears a one and a half

1624
01:15:49,439 --> 01:15:52,840
Speaker 12: point favorite. Dude, what are your thoughts here?

1625
01:15:53,000 --> 01:15:56,400
Speaker 2: I mean, it's going down in just a couple of hours.

1626
01:15:56,479 --> 01:15:59,519
Speaker 2: Bears currently first in the NFC North, and the winner

1627
01:16:00,200 --> 01:16:03,320
Speaker 2: can clinch a playoff birth an the Lions lose, but

1628
01:16:03,400 --> 01:16:08,160
Speaker 2: division games are always spicy. Bears have just been the

1629
01:16:08,200 --> 01:16:14,960
Speaker 2: comeback Kings this entire season. I I'm wrong with the

1630
01:16:15,000 --> 01:16:18,400
Speaker 2: Bears and Ben Johnson. I just I feel like this

1631
01:16:18,600 --> 01:16:21,559
Speaker 2: is their time, Like this is this is their time

1632
01:16:21,600 --> 01:16:23,720
Speaker 2: in the division. This is their time to finally make

1633
01:16:23,720 --> 01:16:24,559
Speaker 2: a stand and be good.

1634
01:16:24,840 --> 01:16:27,640
Speaker 4: What we're seeing in Chicago right now is believe I mean,

1635
01:16:27,680 --> 01:16:30,400
Speaker 4: and you got CJ. Gardner Johnson talking about this being

1636
01:16:30,400 --> 01:16:33,679
Speaker 4: the moment where teams separate themselves. Belief has been foreign

1637
01:16:34,120 --> 01:16:36,120
Speaker 4: in Chicago until this season.

1638
01:16:36,320 --> 01:16:39,160
Speaker 2: I will even bring in Carmen about this, right, Like

1639
01:16:39,160 --> 01:16:40,200
Speaker 2: we were talking about it last week.

1640
01:16:40,240 --> 01:16:43,600
Speaker 3: I was like, girl, your bears are good. She's like, no, no, no, no, no,

1641
01:16:43,640 --> 01:16:44,960
Speaker 3: we're not talking about it. I can't.

1642
01:16:44,960 --> 01:16:48,000
Speaker 2: I can't even talk about it. Like, it's just it's stressful.

1643
01:16:48,080 --> 01:16:50,880
Speaker 2: Like they it's hard because they can't have nice things

1644
01:16:50,920 --> 01:16:52,679
Speaker 2: that they have, right, It's.

1645
01:16:52,600 --> 01:16:55,880
Speaker 4: Like and I think it's like whispers, right, And I

1646
01:16:55,920 --> 01:16:59,640
Speaker 4: think it was good that Chicago dropped their last meeting

1647
01:16:59,720 --> 01:17:00,559
Speaker 4: degree just a.

1648
01:17:00,479 --> 01:17:01,240
Speaker 3: Couple of weeks ago.

1649
01:17:01,320 --> 01:17:04,679
Speaker 4: There the fire. This is a rivalry and so yeah.

1650
01:17:04,600 --> 01:17:05,400
Speaker 3: Is this gonna be wild?

1651
01:17:05,640 --> 01:17:08,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm going to Chicago much a good.

1652
01:17:07,920 --> 01:17:08,479
Speaker 3: Game, Tony.

1653
01:17:09,920 --> 01:17:12,320
Speaker 12: All right. Next up tomorrow, we have the Tampa Bay

1654
01:17:12,360 --> 01:17:15,360
Speaker 12: Buccaneers heading to Caroline to take on the Panthers. The

1655
01:17:15,439 --> 01:17:19,479
Speaker 12: Buccaneers uh favored by three in this one for some reason. Yeah,

1656
01:17:19,560 --> 01:17:21,679
Speaker 12: I don't know. So what do you guys think here?

1657
01:17:21,880 --> 01:17:25,200
Speaker 2: I mean, this is a big game for the NFC South.

1658
01:17:25,280 --> 01:17:28,719
Speaker 2: One of them will win the division and they play again.

1659
01:17:28,680 --> 01:17:32,600
Speaker 4: Week eighteen, the NFC South is just like it's so

1660
01:17:32,720 --> 01:17:34,120
Speaker 4: wild and how bad it is.

1661
01:17:34,600 --> 01:17:37,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I'm still just gonna go and Baker, we

1662
01:17:37,840 --> 01:17:39,000
Speaker 2: trust and I'm gonna take the Bucks.

1663
01:17:39,000 --> 01:17:40,000
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with the favor here.

1664
01:17:40,160 --> 01:17:43,280
Speaker 4: I'm gonna I'm gonna take the Panthers. I think they're frisky,

1665
01:17:43,439 --> 01:17:46,559
Speaker 4: no pun intended, but the Bucks, I just feel like intended.

1666
01:17:46,720 --> 01:17:49,080
Speaker 4: I feel like the Bucks have been just trending the

1667
01:17:49,120 --> 01:17:51,719
Speaker 4: wrong way. Baker had you know, what was the making

1668
01:17:51,760 --> 01:17:55,240
Speaker 4: of an MVP campaign earlier in this season, and it

1669
01:17:55,360 --> 01:17:58,160
Speaker 4: just seems like every time, I mean, they've they've had

1670
01:17:58,200 --> 01:18:01,759
Speaker 4: their fair share of injuries, right, But I yeah, I'm

1671
01:18:01,800 --> 01:18:03,439
Speaker 4: gonna just go opposite.

1672
01:18:03,640 --> 01:18:06,640
Speaker 3: I'll pick Charlotte, Okay, keep pounding.

1673
01:18:06,560 --> 01:18:09,960
Speaker 12: Team that will not go away. The Pittsburgh Steelers in

1674
01:18:10,040 --> 01:18:12,719
Speaker 12: Detroit to take on the Lions. The Lions a full

1675
01:18:12,760 --> 01:18:14,160
Speaker 12: touchdown favorite in this one.

1676
01:18:14,040 --> 01:18:14,439
Speaker 9: Though.

1677
01:18:16,400 --> 01:18:16,960
Speaker 3: It's big.

1678
01:18:17,160 --> 01:18:22,400
Speaker 2: I mean, Steelers are top of their division, Lions are

1679
01:18:22,439 --> 01:18:25,799
Speaker 2: on the outside looking into the playoff picture. If they lose,

1680
01:18:25,840 --> 01:18:29,640
Speaker 2: the winner of Bears Packers clinches of playoff birth. Today

1681
01:18:29,960 --> 01:18:34,720
Speaker 2: it's in Detroit, they got I'm taking the Lions here,

1682
01:18:35,000 --> 01:18:37,000
Speaker 2: like it has to be you.

1683
01:18:36,920 --> 01:18:40,479
Speaker 4: Want to know why I'm taking the Lions. Okay, since

1684
01:18:40,560 --> 01:18:44,760
Speaker 4: Week three they've flip flopped wins losses every week, and

1685
01:18:44,800 --> 01:18:48,519
Speaker 4: so their last game they lost. So I'm gonna say

1686
01:18:48,560 --> 01:18:49,000
Speaker 4: Lions win.

1687
01:18:49,920 --> 01:18:53,439
Speaker 2: I love like keeping the pattern Alie picking games.

1688
01:18:53,479 --> 01:18:55,000
Speaker 3: It's a quick flip. Anything can happen.

1689
01:18:55,720 --> 01:18:59,280
Speaker 12: Yeah, speaking of anything can happen, the Patriots in Baltimore

1690
01:18:59,320 --> 01:19:02,280
Speaker 12: take on the raven again. I said this to my

1691
01:19:02,280 --> 01:19:04,160
Speaker 12: friend who's a Patriots fan last week watching the game

1692
01:19:04,160 --> 01:19:06,960
Speaker 12: when they were Yeah, I'm like, how are the Bills

1693
01:19:07,400 --> 01:19:10,280
Speaker 12: favored in this game? How are the Ravens favorite in

1694
01:19:10,320 --> 01:19:10,599
Speaker 12: this game?

1695
01:19:10,680 --> 01:19:11,280
Speaker 9: I don't get it.

1696
01:19:11,479 --> 01:19:14,519
Speaker 12: But the Ravens three points favorites at the home here.

1697
01:19:14,439 --> 01:19:15,200
Speaker 3: That I don't get.

1698
01:19:15,240 --> 01:19:18,880
Speaker 2: Patriots have been great on the road six and zero.

1699
01:19:19,320 --> 01:19:22,240
Speaker 2: Like I just they've been the better team. I'm taking

1700
01:19:22,280 --> 01:19:27,679
Speaker 2: the underdog Patriots like this feels, especially with like whatever's

1701
01:19:27,720 --> 01:19:28,080
Speaker 2: going on.

1702
01:19:29,520 --> 01:19:33,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't not good vibes. I Yeah, I'm taking

1703
01:19:33,920 --> 01:19:34,400
Speaker 3: the Patriots.

1704
01:19:34,439 --> 01:19:36,479
Speaker 4: I'm also putting my money on Drake May. I'm sure

1705
01:19:36,520 --> 01:19:39,600
Speaker 4: like their last outing, they're they're all gonna want it

1706
01:19:39,760 --> 01:19:41,800
Speaker 4: a little bit of redemption and.

1707
01:19:41,760 --> 01:19:43,800
Speaker 2: Then to get knocked down towards the end of the

1708
01:19:43,800 --> 01:19:46,639
Speaker 2: season if your playoff bound, just to be like, oh yeah, okay,

1709
01:19:46,680 --> 01:19:47,720
Speaker 2: I don't want to feel that again.

1710
01:19:47,800 --> 01:19:48,240
