00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 1: Welcome back to another edition of the Around the NFL Podcast.

00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:13,720
Speaker 1: My name is Dan Hansis, and I am joined by

00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 1: the room filled with heroes, Mark Sessler, Chris Westling and

5
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:24,480
Speaker 1: Greg Rose ital What is up? Boys? M Mark's face

6
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 1: when that money tag intro was said was priceless. You

7
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,880
Speaker 1: looked like something had been seriously wrong in your diet

8
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,159
Speaker 1: or something like that. I mean, it was fine. I

9
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 1: made a similar Sydney. Sydney was did a great job.

10
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 1: I think it was last Friday where she did a

11
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,159
Speaker 1: little isolated video of the reaction of the four of

12
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: us when we played Ray Ray Lewis is terrible rap

13
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 1: single or R and B signal or whatever it was.

14
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 1: You call it great, I call it horrifying. Um listen,

15
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 1: the evidence is out there and you were into it right,

16
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 1: but seeing it was horrified. I thought you you came

17
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,400
Speaker 1: out the best out of all of us. And it

18
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:11,399
Speaker 1: was so funny. It really was a split of generations

19
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 1: because Greg and I were both enjoying ourselves dancing, and

20
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,759
Speaker 1: west and Mark we're having none of it. The old

21
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 1: Men on the Porch another episode of absolute Selective Memory

22
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: by Dan. I was jacked up on cold medicine. I

23
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 1: wouldn't have danced if a fire were on in this

24
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 1: in this building, I was trying to hear what words

25
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 1: were coming out of ray Lewis's mouth. I could not

26
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: always understand him. That was also the fifth time that

27
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: song had been played that day for anyone involved in

28
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 1: this podcast. That was the first time I ever heard it.

29
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 1: But I don't I'm not in the cube with you

30
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 1: guys anymore necessary. When the lights are on mark, you

31
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: have to react as if it's the first time. This

32
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: is showbiz. And by the way, if you had taken

33
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: no cold medicine, I can't imagine that you would be dancing.

34
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: Regard well, I am on record saying that Ray Lewis

35
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: is the most annoying human being in North America. So

36
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: I'm not why would I have What were you expecting? Well,

37
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody really liked the song. Just having

38
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: a little fun and that was That was a spontaneous

39
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: eruption of fun by Greg uh So. Yes, that is

40
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 1: the there is all four of us were you know,

41

Speaker 1: we're one, but we're not the same. And now we

42
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: look ahead, are you Yes? I am moving ahead to Tuesday,

62
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: right to We'll start with the Monday night football game. Yes,

63
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 1: a game. We thought that Houston Texans were going to

64
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: be over and matched by the Cincinnati Bengals, but it

65
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: didn't work out that way. Oh, by the way, this

66
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: is not the ESPN Primetime Music Shadowy League figures. Deemed

67
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 1: that to be not permissible on the podcast anymore. This

68
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: is pretty juno. It's got a little John to it.

69
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: We did the best we could, so this is what

70
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: we're using. Okay, here we go. What we learned. This

71
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 1: was the big game between the Houston Texans and the

72
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals, a ten six Texans win. T J. Yates,

73
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: a certified Bengals killer, throws the touchdown late in the game,

74
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 1: um to DeAndre Hopkins on a great catch by Hopkins.

75
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 1: The Bengals have one last chance to go downfield. They

76
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 1: can't get it done. They get to the red zone

77
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 1: when A J. Green gets stripped. Game over Chris Westling.

78
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: So the perfect season for Cincinnati is over. They are

79
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 1: now eight and one in the Houston Texans are in

80
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: first place in the AFC South. How is this happening? West?

81
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: Your takeaways? You wrote the what we learned peace on

82
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 1: NFL dot Com this game. The Bengals were doomed as

83
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: soon as Brian Hoyer got a concussion because T J.

84
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 1: Yates is a flat out bank. He owned of Bengals.

85
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: He I mean, he's got property in Cincinnati. He didn't

86
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: even look particularly good. I was gonna was willing to

87
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: throw the ball up for Graham to DeAndre Hopkins instead

88
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: of handing the ball off to Jonathan Grimes, which was

89
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: turned out to be a smart move. If they played

90
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 1: that game ten times from the moment T J. Yates

91
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 1: comes in, how many times do you think the Texans win?

92
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 1: I would say the Bengals win eight out of ten times.

93
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 1: Agree with the Bengals. I think I think the the

94
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: eight out of ten times to the Bengals because the

95
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 1: end of it came down to a turnover, which was

96
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 1: you know, not how it's gonna end with A J.

97
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 1: Green time again. It was a weird game though, well,

98
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 1: not only does T. G. A. Yates inn the Bengals,

99
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,840
Speaker 1: but Jonathan Joseph owns a J. Green. A J. Green

100
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 1: has never scored in five meetings with Jonathan Joseph. Joseph

101
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: has four picks. I mean that was one of those

102
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,840
Speaker 1: games where you play your former team in your former

103
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: home that you played that. He couldn't have made the bank,

104
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:58,600
Speaker 1: He couldn't have buried the Bengals anymore. Was one of

105
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 1: the better performances we've seen for a cornerback all year.

106
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 1: The whole game, by the way outstanding. The rookie cornerback

107
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 1: on the other side, Kevin Johnson. I thought it hadn't

108
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 1: an even better game than Jonathan Joseph. He's had other

109
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: good games this year's good cornerback. A lot of penalties,

110
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 1: but their defense suddenly is playing well. They played well

111
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: against Zach Mettenberger, which I guess a lot of teams do,

112
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 1: held them to six points, and then hold the Bengals.

113
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: This is another four team for us to have to

114
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: worry about now, but they're in first place. It is.

115
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: It is outrageous how many of the Texans best moments

116
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: in franchise history were authored by t J. Yates, who

117
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: has only started five games in his career. The win

118
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati to clinch a playoff spot, that's a big one.

119
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 1: The first ever win in team history. That's t J. Yates.

120
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: They've only won two and he's got one of this

121
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: one first playoff in which J. J. Watt I believe,

122
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 1: batted the ball down and took it to the house.

123
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: Right Yates did very little, but that's that's kind of

124
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: how it goes. It's it was amazing to see the

125
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 1: Bengals often struggle. This by White, what got it? Who

126
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 1: possessed Tyler If turned him into the most stone handed

127
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 1: received tight end in football. That was a big, big

128
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: deal in this game. And A J. Green had a

129
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: big drop in the fourth quarter. This was not obviously

130
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: a j um Andy Dalton's best game. He did not

131
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 1: play particularly well, but his weapons let him down in

132
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 1: a big spot here. I think it's for for me

133
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 1: because now it's ok can is this Bengals team going

134
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 1: to become what we sort of thought they were a

135
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 1: revert closer to that than than what they've been for

136
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: the first eight games they won. They play Arizona now

137
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: on Sunday night, and you either go eight and in Arizona,

138
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: which is absolutely the toughest game they faced all season,

139
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: huge tests for them, and I want to see them

140
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 1: bounce back. I think they will. There was a narrative

141
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: and it was brought up in our meeting this morning

142
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 1: that Dalton didn't really have that bad a game that

143
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: drops really hurt him the whole team, and I would

144
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: I would disagree with that he was lucky that he

145
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 1: only had one interception. It could have been three or four.

146
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: That game could have ended in a lot of different

147
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: ways where they dropped interceptions. I also thought he hasn't

148
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 1: really thrown that well deep now for three straight weeks.

149
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 1: He started out the season being the old Andy Dalton.

150
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 1: He had a good game against Cleveland, but just kind

151
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: of a move the sticks type of game, and I

152
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 1: would say two of his worst three games are in

153
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: the last few weeks. He did not have a good

154
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 1: game against Pittsburgh either. So it's a little bit of

155
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: a trend that he's not playing as well as he

156
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: was early in the season. Can't you look at any

157
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 1: quarterback in the league right now and say that there

158
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,679
Speaker 1: have been at least a couple of games after every

159
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 1: one of these guys where they've struggled. And so it's

160
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 1: the same with Andy Dalton, not Tom Brady or he's

161
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 1: a figure of suspicion. Though what you get, um it

162
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 1: is just funny because there isn't Andy Dalton. It's almost

163
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 1: like maybe He's a little star crossed in the sense

164
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 1: that he was leading them down the field at that

165
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 1: end of the game, including it was a huge third

166
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 1: and seventeen was a fourth and seventeen, third and nineteen

167
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 1: nineteen and keep the game alive there in the red zone,

168
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 1: and then who lets him down his wide receiver. Sometimes

169
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 1: you think, is Dalton just cursed? Well, I think cursed Sandy.

170
00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: Guys like Russell Wilson and Aaron Rodgers even get critic

171
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 1: size for sand football being a little too improvisational for

172
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 1: letting the play break down and then you know, running

173
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 1: around the pocket trying to create plays. Andy Dalton's the

174
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: Opiti's opposite. He's sort of a paint by numbers quarterback.

175
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 1: He does what the play calls for, and if the

176
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 1: play breaks down, he doesn't really have an answer for that.

177
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 1: And Jake John Gruden, who I think is having the

178
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 1: renaissance season, people like to I'm being dead serious. I

179
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 1: think people like to pick on Gruden. I I don't.

180
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: I think he might be the best color guy that

181
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: there is right now because I learned something from him

182
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 1: when he watches and when I watched the game, and

183
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: I think he was nailing how Romeo Cornell was mixing

184
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 1: up the coverages and to exactly what you were saying,

185
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 1: confusing Dalton right on his first read and then he

186
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: didn't know it. But they're a common opponent. The Texans

187
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 1: have played the Bengals almost every year, and they know

188
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 1: what what Hugh Jackson and what Andy Dalton do. Well,

189
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:49,839
Speaker 1: that said that, the Bengals came out with some of

190
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 1: the most bizarre and multiple looks that we've seen from

191
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 1: any team all season. Well on the opening drive. Yeah,

192
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 1: and then and then it all went away. I am

193
00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: I've always liked rooted good. I don't I have seen

194
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,199
Speaker 1: I feel like anybody that does. The primetime games are

195
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 1: under a microscope, especially the color guys, even I like

196
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 1: I love Collins where he gets killed all the time. Um,

197
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: but yeah, Gruden's a boy. It took Gruden like five

198
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 1: years to actually criticize a player. Well, that's part of

199
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,320
Speaker 1: why I think he's better now than he's been, because

200
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: I think more critical than than he used Absolutely, But

201
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:21,959
Speaker 1: I think part it was he was potentially going to

202
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,079
Speaker 1: be a coach again at some point, and now I

203
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 1: don't think that's happening. Life's too good. That's a good gig.

204
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 1: He's got work one day a week. We gotta give

205
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 1: Charles jameson Love by the way, seven tackles in that

206
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:35,079
Speaker 1: game significant action as a pro. Is that standing? Um? Yeah?

207
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 1: We should also talk about what happened after the game.

208
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 1: J J. Watt Uh was interviewed by who was at

209
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 1: least assaulters who and this is this is how that

210
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 1: played out. Yeah, I mean our goal was to come

211
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 1: out here and the red rifle looked like a red

212
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 1: rotter B gun and I think that first of how

213
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 1: how long did was this rehearsed by J. J. Watt

214
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 1: ahead of this game? He I, I tweeted us and

215
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: got I got banged by Houston fans. Whatever he was

216
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 1: staring in the mirror with that red rider BB gun

217
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 1: line he was he was waiting to drop it and

218
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: he got his opportunity. It was lame, It was corny,

219
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: and it was just a very gentle dick. Gentle dick

220
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:20,119
Speaker 1: this and then this is how how Andy Dalton responded

221
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: to the dig when asked about it during his post

222
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 1: Grant postgame presser and disappointed in him too. I mean,

223
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: for the integrity of this game. You know, I have

224
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 1: a lot of respect for him. He's a really good player,

225
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 1: and so there's a lot of a lot of kids

226
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 1: and a lot of people that look up to him,

227
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 1: and for him to make comments like that and mean,

228
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 1: he's just showing that, you know, yeah, that's acceptable to

229
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 1: to do that kind of stuff and see that kind

230
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 1: of stuff. That's well, somebody please think of the children.

231
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 1: Come down Andy. That was I don't need to know

232
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 1: anything else about Andy Dalton ever. Again, if he's gonna

233
00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 1: be this thin skin, no wonder why he doesn't perform

234
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 1: well under pressure. That was a very telling I know,

235
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: what's a tough situation. He just lost, but he got

236
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,079
Speaker 1: called a red driver bb gun and he acted like

237
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 1: Greg Hardy insulted his wife or something. Here's the thing

238
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 1: with some of these professional modern professional athletes is that

239
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 1: so many ninety eight percent of these guys will never

240
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 1: say anything interesting on camera or to a reporter, and

241
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 1: then when somebody does. I'm not saying what Wat said

242
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 1: was funny or cutting or interesting, but it was different.

243
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 1: These guys are robots. They don't even know how to react.

244
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 1: Their wires get across solo. He defaults to this guy's

245
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 1: impugning upon the integrity of the league, The other thing

246
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 1: tracking both these guys in Hard Knocks seasons over recent summers,

247
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 1: is that what is you know, phony's a strong word,

248
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: but he's very calculated and he's trying to present himself

249
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 1: in a certain way, a modern day Paul Bunyan with

250
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:51,679
Speaker 1: his sharp tongue or whatever it is. I don't know

251
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 1: what's going on in a love of hip hop. And

252
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:57,679
Speaker 1: then you have Andy Dalton, who's like a super super

253
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 1: seems like a nice Christian and boy he uh there

254
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 1: was a Hard Knocks clips where he was singing Christian

255
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 1: music in his locker and he's a nice guy. You know,

256
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 1: he's not like a nasty person. So I think he

257
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 1: was just taken way aback by anybody throwing shade at

258
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 1: him in a public spot like that. We've been taking

259
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 1: shade publicly for five seasons now. And does he have

260
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 1: a problem with Marvin Lewis calling Johnny Manzella midget? I

261
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 1: don't know that's a good question. I mean, it's the

262
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 1: Bengals throw shaded people, and Andy Dalton didn't complain about that.

263
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 1: But I don't only have a problem with Andy Dalton

264
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 1: getting upset over J. J. Watt, who I do think

265
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 1: is relatively phony, right, And my problem a little bit

266
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 1: is that it's J. J. Watt, who since the summer

267
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 1: has struck me as as Dan said it perfectly best,

268
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 1: one of the more calculated people. I think where Dan

269
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,719
Speaker 1: is tapping into the common man, I think you hit

270
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 1: you hit it on the head that when you watch that.

271
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 1: He had a little point about, you know, the people

272
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 1: who didn't believe we were gonna win this game, and

273
00:13:57,559 --> 00:13:59,439
Speaker 1: that felt like it was rehearsed to but it didn't

274
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 1: come out white right, Like you didn't nail that landing.

275
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:04,839
Speaker 1: Whatever that joke was, it was that line. But the

276
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 1: red rider thing he got out. It was good that

277
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 1: he practiced, waiting for J. J. Watts in turn to

278
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 1: change his Twitter profile to modern day Paul Bunyan with

279
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 1: a love of hip hop. I don't know what that was.

280
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: It's all accurate though, all right, So that's the Monday

281
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: night game. So it bears watching both these teams to

282
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 1: first place teams in the NFC. What is happening in

283
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 1: the NFL? Uh, Sydney, Why don't we do some news now?

284
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 1: I drink a lot of milk. That was Big Ben.

285
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 1: That was Roethlisberger. That's how he Uh, he returned to

286
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 1: action so quick. I only know that was Big Ben

287
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 1: because I read Marx consistently incredible Tuesday here. Wow, what

288
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 1: a description. Consistently incredible. That's exactly what you want. Some

289
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 1: of the best football writing on the internet. I think

290
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 1: anything else go ahead. That's I mean, that's I like

291
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 1: Mark's writing. Is there as we all do? Is there vanity?

292
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 1: U R L? Mark? Not that I know of Greg.

293
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 1: What is the vanity you're all gonna do for anyone?

294
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 1: I don't know. It just gives a little more legitimacy,

295
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 1: takes it to the next level. Uh, let's start a

296
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 1: lot of news. As I said, So we're gonna have

297
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: to move through this, uh relatively quickly with each story,

298
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 1: but we're gonna make sure I hit all the important stuff.

299
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 1: Will start with what's going on in Denver. Uh. Peyton

300
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 1: Manning will not face former Broncos coach John Fox when

301
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 1: the Broncos traveled to Chicago to take on the Bears

302
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 1: this week. He has been ruled out. He has a

303
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 1: case of Planter fasciitis. Is that how you pronounce that fasciitis? Uh?

304
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 1: That means brock Osweiler gets the start. Manny of course,

305
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 1: coming off the worst game statistically of his career, a

306
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 1: zero passer rating. Uh, and now it is brock Osweiler's

307
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 1: chance to get the job. Mark Sessler, Do you believe

308
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 1: if brock Osweiler plays well that Peyton Manning will be

309
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 1: told to get comfortable and rest that foot as much

310
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 1: as possible. No, I don't think so. I mean, my

311
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 1: feeling with Kubiak was that although it was sort of

312
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 1: poorly constructed on how long Manning was out there, that

313
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 1: he genuinely felt bad that Manning was not healthy. He

314
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 1: was also taking blame for what happened. But I don't

315
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 1: think that you you keep Manzell on or you keep

316
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 1: Manning on the bench. If if brock oswar comes and

317
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 1: just does what his job is, which is be a backup,

318
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 1: winning game, get out there until you're till Peyton Manning

319
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 1: is healthy, They've got to see him melt down again

320
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 1: before you bench the guy, but they I think there

321
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 1: has to be a level of play from Oswiler that

322
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 1: if he reaches that level, you keep the job. Maybe

323
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 1: it's a really high level based on what you're saying,

324
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 1: he has to light it up. But if he throws

325
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 1: for four touchdowns this week and three d yards and

326
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 1: then the next week he beats the Patriots, he'd be

327
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 1: it'd be insane to take him out. So I do

328
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 1: think there's a level. If he played really well that

329
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 1: then yeah, I think he keeps the job. We say

330
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 1: this almost every time there's a quarterback controversy, no matter

331
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 1: what the heck ghost has. Every think in the NFL

332
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 1: is a fluid situation. Adjustments can be made for your

333
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 1: philosophy based on how well the other quarterback plays. And

334
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:12,920
Speaker 1: look Planter Fish schitis landed ended Larry Bird's career. Antonio

335
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,160
Speaker 1: Gates had never missed a game and finally missed when

336
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:16,879
Speaker 1: he had to deal with this in half the season.

337
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 1: This could cause bat Manning to miss the rest of

338
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 1: the season. He might never be himself again. And I

339
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 1: think it's not your average quarterback controversy because you've got

340
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,159
Speaker 1: an NFL legend. On the other hand, Kubiak owes it

341
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 1: to his team in a Super Bowl window to play

342
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:30,919
Speaker 1: the better player. I think if he comes in and

343
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 1: he plays one game and they say Manning is healthy

344
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:35,400
Speaker 1: after that, which it sounds like with this injury, that's

345
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:39,359
Speaker 1: a stretch. If he plays multiple games Osweidler and performs well,

346
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 1: then it opens up the window first switch. Well, there's

347
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 1: areas of gray here because of the the inherent nature

348
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 1: of the injury. I don't know if there's gonna be

349
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,439
Speaker 1: a moment where they're like, Okay, you're cured. You know

350
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 1: there's gonna be canny manage the pain enough. He is

351
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 1: an older quarterback. His younger brother had the same injury,

352
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:01,479
Speaker 1: or had Planter forsitis and the two thousand nine and

353
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:03,439
Speaker 1: played through it the whole time. I think it is

354
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:08,879
Speaker 1: just pishities. I think I like them. And Eli Manning

355
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:11,639
Speaker 1: never sat down. I mean he played, he played through it.

356
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 1: But the difference is that Eli had a really strong

357
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,679
Speaker 1: arm and had other physical attributes that could maybe make

358
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 1: up for it, whereas Peyton Manning this is a cascading

359
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:22,360
Speaker 1: thing where he doesn't have the arm to make up

360
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 1: for you know, planting, and there's all sorts of things. Also,

361
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:28,400
Speaker 1: when you're Manning's age one, one injury like this leads

362
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:32,199
Speaker 1: to further injury, you will start compensating. Moving on, the

363
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:36,919
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys will finally get they're starting quarterback back on

364
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 1: the field. Tony Romo is expected to start for the

365
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:43,159
Speaker 1: team on Sunday. The Cowboys have played seven games without

366
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 1: Romo since he fractured his collar bone in a week two.

367
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 1: They have lost each of those games, and yet are

368
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: still just two and a half games back in the

369
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 1: NFC East. Romo got a little cute on Twitter today

370
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:58,439
Speaker 1: and posted a clip from the old movie Major League.

371
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 1: You know, Charlie Sheen movie. I might have to suspend

372
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 1: the winning. Yeah, I wight put that on ice for

373
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:07,479
Speaker 1: a tad. All right, let's just look. I'm gonna let

374
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:09,399
Speaker 1: it look because you know, I'm very important. It's important

375
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,359
Speaker 1: to me to bring back dough winning. But I don't

376
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 1: want to, you know, I don't want to mess this up.

377
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna put it on the shelf again. Greg,

378
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 1: I didn't know it was still available and available. I mean,

379
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 1: I haven't heard it said by any human other than

380
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 1: you once a month in this studio. It's disrespectful. It's

381
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 1: one of the great catch phrases of all time. Anyway,

382
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 1: So Romo, uh yeah, post the video of Major League

383
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 1: was like a clip from that movie where We're gonna

384
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 1: win the whole bleeping thing kind of a nodding thing.

385
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 1: But also, you know, maybe in a week division the

386
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 1: Cowboys can go on a run, so that's where he

387
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,119
Speaker 1: was coming from. To make room on the roster, they

388
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:51,120
Speaker 1: dumped Brandon Weeden, who literally two months ago, not even

389
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 1: two months ago, Um a month ago. Uh No, it

390
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:59,639
Speaker 1: was about two months ago when Jerry Jones made the comment,

391
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 1: uh that you won't see a more gifted passer, power, accuracy,

392
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:11,359
Speaker 1: the entire aspect of it. He's a thing of beauty exactly. Uh.

393
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,400
Speaker 1: Then we Din goes oh and three, they bench him.

394
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 1: They go get Matt Castle, who's been owing four but

395
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,399
Speaker 1: played a little bit better, so they decided Castle is

396
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 1: the better option behind Romo Cowboys getting their house in order.

397
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 1: Kristen Michael also released on Tuesday, so that never really

398
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:29,160
Speaker 1: worked out in their backfield. It's been um a lot

399
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 1: of things moving, a lot of moving parts in downas

400
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,399
Speaker 1: right now. Think you really have to question the Cowboys

401
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 1: front office when they're just gonna go and release the

402
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 1: most gifted passer. I mean, what's the acumen there? Yeah,

403
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,920
Speaker 1: and your your Cowboys running back sandwhich is and now

404
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:49,879
Speaker 1: evening out, you're getting some for Joseph Randall's troubles. But

405
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,479
Speaker 1: Kristin Michael, your boy is gonna cost you something. The

406
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 1: projection that you had just for the listeners was that

407
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 1: Michael would lead the Cowboys and running rushing. I don't

408
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:01,399
Speaker 1: know did he get more than even two carries. I

409
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 1: remember that my second son, Colton, was born, and you know,

410
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 1: hours after he was born, when it was time for

411
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:11,360
Speaker 1: everyone to try to go to sleep, I snuck out

412
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 1: to go watch the first round of the two thousand

413
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:17,119
Speaker 1: and twelve draft, knowing that the Cleveland Browns had two

414
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 1: picks and they're going to change their franchise forever for

415
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 1: the better looking back. That is one of the worst

416
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:26,200
Speaker 1: drafts of all time. Trent Richardson and Brandon Weeden both

417
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 1: on the scrap heap. Now, if you want to Browns

418
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 1: will get him back. They could have. That would be

419
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:34,680
Speaker 1: too I have justin Gilbert, Johnny Manziel, Brandon Weeden, uh

420
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 1: and Trent Richardson all under the same roof. If they

421
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 1: wanted a franchise quarterback and Johnny Manzel. Wow, yeah, maybe

422
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 1: speaking of Johnny, the Browns will do what they needed

423
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 1: to do. This is a good job marked by your

424
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 1: organization here. They will start Johnny Menzel at quarterback for

425
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 1: the rest of the season. Mike Petton announced this on Tuesday,

426
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:02,159
Speaker 1: that Manzel will be their guy, not Josh McCown. The Browns,

427
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,919
Speaker 1: of course at two and eight not going anywhere, but

428
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 1: McCown is Manzelle is coming off a game where he

429
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 1: played very well against the Steelers uh so, and Patton

430
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 1: said that he took a quote big step forward. So

431
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,680
Speaker 1: the decision was made, Let's roll roll with Manzel, see

432
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: what we got, and it allows them to truly evaluate

433
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 1: this young passer mark before they make their next next

434
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,679
Speaker 1: big decision at a future draft. Well, you're right. It

435
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 1: was the only way to go, and it probably should

436
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 1: have come sooner than this. It's funny, I don't you

437
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 1: never know how any decision is being made inside that

438
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:36,920
Speaker 1: building at this point, but it sounds like Petton for

439
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 1: so many months felt like, if I'm going to keep

440
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:42,200
Speaker 1: my job and my coaching staff is gonna keep their jobs,

441
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:44,200
Speaker 1: we've got to go with McCown because he's the better

442
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,919
Speaker 1: speedter quarterback. But it feels to me today that this

443
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:50,119
Speaker 1: is the only way for that coaching staff to really

444
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,400
Speaker 1: go into the off season with some momentum. Is Manzel

445
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,680
Speaker 1: proving that he might have a spark of a franchise

446
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 1: quarterback or someone that can lean on with some value

447
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:02,200
Speaker 1: versus nothing. Well, and what it's wrong with Manzel having

448
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:06,119
Speaker 1: to prove himself, which he did. Ultimately, he gave Petting

449
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:09,160
Speaker 1: no choice. When I watched that game, I think, well,

450
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,879
Speaker 1: there's no chance they bench him now because he played

451
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:16,440
Speaker 1: so much better in that game in terms of his decisiveness.

452
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 1: I thought they were very unlucky, and it wasn't really

453
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 1: on Manzel that they only scored nine points. I thought

454
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 1: he had a really promising game and that when they

455
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 1: saw that and and Petton you could hear it on

456
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 1: money before they made this announcement, he said he played

457
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 1: his ass off. He said he showed significant progress. You know,

458
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 1: he was very tough, and that he had that terrible

459
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 1: first play but then ended up bouncing back. I mean,

460
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 1: it was a really good young quarterback performance. It was

461
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:40,239
Speaker 1: only one, but at least you have one, and now

462
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 1: you want to see if he can do a bunch.

463
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 1: I think this is what the goal is for the Browns.

464
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 1: Uh if they can go five hundred in the second

465
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 1: half and Manzel can show something, I think do you

466
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 1: think that could save jobs? Do you think that would

467
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 1: be I think that's a petitive wins some games and

468
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,879
Speaker 1: him show progress, yes, much more than what the plans

469
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 1: seemed to be three weeks ago was we trust Josh McCown.

470
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 1: We're gonna try to get three or four wins with

471
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:06,439
Speaker 1: him down the stretch, which leaves you with nothing. The

472
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 1: season meant literally nothing. You can give a bad season

473
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,440
Speaker 1: some meaning and that can save jobs if the meaning

474
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,439
Speaker 1: comes from the quarterback position. It wasn't perfect, took some

475
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,719
Speaker 1: bad sacks. The first was the first few drives who

476
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 1: were a little erratic. But after that, I mean he's

477
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 1: improved from me, I think, uh more quarterback news Case Keenum,

478
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 1: It is Case Keenum time. Chris westling in St. Louis.

479
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 1: He will be starting for the Rams at Baltimore this week.

480
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:37,440
Speaker 1: Nick Foles benched uh Foles, who has been uh very

481
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 1: bad this year and he you know, he signed a

482
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:42,399
Speaker 1: big deal or a nice deal before the season. That

483
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 1: just that, just that turned out to be a great decision,

484
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:47,679
Speaker 1: a personal decision. Maybe maybe not for the Rams. But

485
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 1: now he's gonna be on the bench in Case Keenum, who,

486
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 1: as west will tell you, had some moments, some moments

487
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 1: early in his career, now gets a shot to lead

488
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 1: a rams team that would be legitimately good and a

489
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 1: playoff content if they can just get some you know,

490
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:05,680
Speaker 1: average quarterback play. Keen is not the answer, but it's

491
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,120
Speaker 1: a much more fun quarterback to watch because he lets

492
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 1: it fly like you let your case Keenum flag fly.

493
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:13,360
Speaker 1: He'll sell it down the field. He'll take chances, he'll

494
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 1: he'll run around the pocket, unlike Nick Fools, who will

495
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:19,640
Speaker 1: miss throws down the field, doesn't take too many chances.

496
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:23,359
Speaker 1: And basically, now the second coaching staff in a calendar

497
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 1: year this decided he's not the answer. Here's the default.

498
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:28,880
Speaker 1: This is now the default coach speak whenever they bench

499
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:32,439
Speaker 1: a guy at quarterback. You know, Nick just needs a break,

500
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 1: Jeff Fisher said, Nick just needs a break. Right now,

501
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 1: What does that even mean? Nick Foles was you know,

502
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 1: they gave up Sam Bradford for him. They did get

503
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 1: a second round pick back, but they gave him guaranteed

504
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:48,439
Speaker 1: money next year, so he is paid, I believe a

505
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 1: six point seven five million dollar roster bonus. He's due

506
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 1: seven or six and point seven five or seven point

507
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 1: point seven five next year, and that's on the books.

508
00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:00,119
Speaker 1: That is a high number for a guy who who

509
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 1: at best is going to be competing to start, you

510
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:04,879
Speaker 1: basically have to keep him around now to compete to start.

511
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,439
Speaker 1: It is an amazing thing, though, in the middle of

512
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 1: a season where they really need to make the playoffs

513
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 1: and show some progress under Jeff Fisher, that they're going

514
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:16,360
Speaker 1: to a guy who was undrafted, who was on their

515
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,440
Speaker 1: practice squad last year with the same team that they

516
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:23,200
Speaker 1: let him go freely last year back to Houston before

517
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:26,200
Speaker 1: they you know, resigned him. That's how they viewed case

518
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 1: keyed him last year. And yet this is the guy

519
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:29,640
Speaker 1: they still think has a better chance to help them

520
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 1: win the Nick Foles do they need to show that

521
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 1: what I mean, I think they go seven and nine

522
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 1: and they've got a gem with nice hair, and you

523
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 1: just roll right into next season. What they do every year,

524
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 1: They've always had the quarterback and at GM last year,

525
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 1: who said what Sam Bradford will never not be the

526
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:48,400
Speaker 1: quarterback of this team. Let Fisher once said, Sam Bradford

527
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:51,200
Speaker 1: can be the best quarterback in the NFL. He traded

528
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 1: him for a guy he just bitched and you know,

529
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:57,640
Speaker 1: less need is the GM equivalent of what Rob Deer

530
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 1: was in baseball in the early nineties, late eighties or

531
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 1: He's gonna strike out like two and eight times. He's

532
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 1: gonna hit twenty six home runs, some big hits, some

533
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 1: big misses. That's the less neat experience of the same

534
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,200
Speaker 1: year that he he adds a stud to his backfield,

535
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 1: he bombs out at the quarterback position. Falls was fine

536
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 1: in September. He started off this season okay, but he

537
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:20,359
Speaker 1: has been one of the very worst quarterbacks in the league.

538
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:23,119
Speaker 1: He hasn't had a decent game since Week four, so,

539
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:25,640
Speaker 1: which is a crazy amount of time. It's good news

540
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 1: for Rams fans that Jeff Fisher is right on track

541
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 1: to go seven and nine. So Nick Foles. Yes, he

542
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:34,200
Speaker 1: was traded for Sam Bradford in the offseason. And speaking

543
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:36,359
Speaker 1: of Sam Bradford, he is likely to miss the next

544
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 1: two games with those uh a pair of injuries suffered

545
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 1: against the Dolphins, a concussion and a separated shoulder. Uh.

546
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 1: The schedule does uh the Eagles no favors. Uh. They

547
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 1: have a game coming up on Sunday and then the

548
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving game uh coming up right after that. So it

549
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 1: looks like we're gonna get two games of Mark Sanchez

550
00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:01,160
Speaker 1: starting for the Eagles. This is all reporting from rap

551
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:04,919
Speaker 1: Sheeting and rap report. Uh, So here we go the

552
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 1: Sanchiz people wanted the Sanchiz. Here comes to Sanchiz. Second

553
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:11,360
Speaker 1: year in a row, we get Sanchez on a national holiday.

554
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:15,640
Speaker 1: He killed it last year on Thanksgiving Budding, but Bud

555
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:17,959
Speaker 1: Fumble a couple of years before that and Thanksgiving, so

556
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:20,400
Speaker 1: he's a bit of a grab bag on Turkey Day.

557
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 1: It's really become a tradition. Unlike any other Sanchez, the family,

558
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 1: the line, Turkey and this. He's a guy that brings

559
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 1: America together. Their schedule isn't terrible. I mean, the bucks

560
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:35,120
Speaker 1: are better than people give him credit for. But you've

561
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:37,920
Speaker 1: got Tampa Bay this week, then Detroit on Thanksgiving. I

562
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 1: mean it's not the worst situation. That's what's called the recipe.

563
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 1: Uh for Sanchez to keep that job as even though

564
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 1: he made some bad decisions last week, they didn't move

565
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 1: the ball. And I don't think he can. I think

566
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 1: he can live up. I think he can match whatever

567
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 1: Sam Bradford has been doing this year. Do we want

568
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 1: to break the news? Uh? Greg about Thanksgiving night? What

569
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 1: news is this about? The podcast? Well, we're gonna have

570
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 1: special video. I don't I don't know if it's going

571
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 1: to be an audio form. But if you really are

572
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 1: hankering for us that much, you will be able to

573
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 1: see some NFL now recaps from the Thanksgiving games with yours. Truly,

574
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 1: we should do like I'm making into a mini mini

575
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 1: audio show. We could. We can talk about that off

576
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 1: off the show, but that would have to be separate.

577
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 1: If you let's plan out the show in real time

578
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 1: right now on the podcast old off the show decision, Greg,

579
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:30,479
Speaker 1: just off the show, talk to me, which is basically like,

580
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 1: shut the f up, we'll talk about this. I just

581
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 1: want to have a good show for the listener. Well,

582
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 1: how do you know the listeners don't They're like, oh,

583
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 1: this is inside baseball. This is how the sausage, the

584
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 1: sauceage gets made. I like sausage. Okay, me too. You

585
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 1: know what I like? I like the throne of sleeves

586
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 1: dealing with issues, although I don't like to see injuries

587
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 1: cause that, And that's what's going on right now because

588
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 1: Julian Edelman, the star wide receiver, the handsome, charismatic Oh

589
00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 1: you do, like, why are you even pretending you don't

590
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 1: like in You're used to be a problem for them.

591
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 1: You totally like it. I don't like anybody getting hurt. Anyway,

592
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 1: le on your face right now as you're talking about

593
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:11,720
Speaker 1: Julian Edelman. He had a screw inserted in his foot.

594
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:14,960
Speaker 1: So he is out six to eight weeks. And if

595
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 1: you do the math, Greg, because we are entering week tens,

596
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 1: week ten, he's at weeks. We're entering week eleven, and

597
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:31,719
Speaker 1: your mathematician guy needs a raise. You're my mathematician guy anyway,

598
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 1: asking for a self raise January. He'll be back with

599
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 1: this foot injury. So no Dion Lewis, who was their

600
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 1: best passing game option out of the backfield. Now you

601
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 1: lose uh, your number one wide receiver. Greg. I think

602
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:48,560
Speaker 1: we talked about this a little bit on Sunday, but

603
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:51,720
Speaker 1: this is now a significant issue. I know Danny Amadola

604
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 1: West is one of your favorites. Perhaps he could step in,

605
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 1: and he was targeted a lot on Sunday. But this

606
00:30:56,840 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 1: is a real challenge for the old Belichick. It's not

607
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 1: just that you're losing Edelman and Lewis. You're losing the

608
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 1: ability to run three wide receiver sets. Touched on this

609
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 1: and next gen notebooks. Next gens that's notebook this week.

610
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 1: After Edelman is injurying the first quarter of The Patriots

611
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 1: ran just four of twenty six plays in the second

612
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 1: and third quarter out of three wide receiver sets sets.

613
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,200
Speaker 1: It wasn't until they had to go into comeback mode.

614
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 1: To Bill Belichicks finally said, I guess I have to

615
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:26,239
Speaker 1: trust Aaron Dobson. They don't want to use Aaron Dobson, right,

616
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:28,959
Speaker 1: they don't want to use Dobson. It's hoping that Scott

617
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 1: Chandler can step up. James White. You're now getting to

618
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 1: the guys that you don't believe can really be part

619
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 1: of a great offense. Yeah, you're going from an offense

620
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 1: that ha scored in every single quarter outside of the

621
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 1: first quarter of the season to one that's gonna be

622
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a run, heavier offense with fewer options

623
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 1: in it. It's funny because they could have signed Wes

624
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 1: Welker if this happened a week earlier. Now they can

625
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 1: just sign Chris Matthews. He can come in and have

626
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 1: four games. But if I played a lot of that,

627
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 1: I don't think want to signed Welker under any scenario.

628
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 1: That's just my Well, that's fine, but Brady and I

629
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 1: believe him on this one. He he argued the fact

630
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 1: where everyone says you just they'll just plug someone in

631
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 1: and he'll be great. That he did say what you

632
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 1: just said that this absolutely limits what we do on offense,

633
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 1: and two weeks in a row you've lost major contribute.

634
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:13,239
Speaker 1: You can see it against the Giants. They had a

635
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:16,480
Speaker 1: great first quarter. The second Edelman went down, they struggled

636
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 1: the rest of the game. The part of me that's

637
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 1: a thrown a vise type of reaction to this news

638
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 1: is is thinking, well, if you get him back for

639
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 1: the playoffs, that's all that really matters for the Patriots.

640
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 1: And Edelman, of all people, has such a great chemistry

641
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 1: and history with Brady. If you if he really came

642
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 1: back fairly healthy, you still get him for the game

643
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 1: that matter? Right, It actually all works out perfectly for you. Actually,

644
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 1: he'll come dance onto the field and the a f

645
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 1: C Divisional playoffs sixty six yards off ten catches, like, hey, Sully,

646
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 1: it's like the David Ortiz game. I don't know, just

647
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 1: like you know some Boston folk hero stuff. You know, Oh,

648
00:32:56,160 --> 00:33:03,720
Speaker 1: there's Edelman. He's a wicked dan showing no respect for

649
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 1: the city that educated him. I just need to say

650
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 1: this time, I need to say this, uh, just to

651
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:14,720
Speaker 1: get a quick tangent. Uh. David Ortiz, I believe is

652
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 1: announcing his retirement after this season. All you read, I

653
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 1: didn't even know that better than that, your Red Sox fan,

654
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 1: all the Red Sox fans that went nuts on Derek

655
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 1: Jeter for a year getting gifts during his retirement tour,

656
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 1: Big Poppy is going to do the same thing. So

657
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:34,719
Speaker 1: I don't want to hear you being like, oh, this

658
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 1: is so cool that he got a harp from the

659
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 1: San Diego Padres when you were killing Jeter for the

660
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 1: same thing that you know, fans could not be consistent

661
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 1: with who they hate, and like, I just I just

662
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 1: first one you heard it here first, I'm gonna call

663
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 1: you on your BS. But I liked that he's getting

664
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 1: a harpy. There was weird stuff given to It was

665
00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 1: actually the Marianna Rivera and jeter uh retirement laps where

666
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 1: they ran out of things to give him, so like

667
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 1: he would go to l A and they would give

668
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:08,879
Speaker 1: him fishing rods, or or he would get like an

669
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 1: ice sculpture, and it was like, what am I gonna do?

670
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:12,799
Speaker 1: Quickly handed to an intern and shuffle to like a

671
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 1: back room. They'll never see it, I mean since you

672
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:18,279
Speaker 1: brought it up. Though. The difference is big Poppy is

673
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 1: retiring while he's still hitting thirty five home runs a year.

674
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 1: Derek Jeter is walking around with a piano on his back,

675
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 1: barely able to play. You know, synthetic drugs will do that. Wow,

676
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:29,759
Speaker 1: whatever it gets it done. Have you ever looked into

677
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 1: the history of this final tour thing? Dr J is

678
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 1: the first one I remember. Really, that's a that's good.

679
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 1: I'd like to see his There is none of that

680
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 1: in the NFL though, really well, Ozzie knew something when

681
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 1: he left his final season in Cleveland because he made

682
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:45,960
Speaker 1: so many consecutive games grow that at one point there

683
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 1: was a game where someone it was an opposing team,

684
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 1: and handed him a giant portrait of him. He d

685
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 1: up a hand crafted painted portrait of him and half

686
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:55,080
Speaker 1: you wouldn't see that at all today. The first one

687
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:57,320
Speaker 1: I remember being annoyed by was creating the shows My

688
00:34:57,360 --> 00:35:00,200
Speaker 1: Ages freemabdul Jabbar. That one seemed to go for ever

689
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:03,279
Speaker 1: and you would get like piano right now. He didn't.

690
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 1: He's like, okay, it's a eighty two game. But yes,

691
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 1: to go back to the throne of these Everything's gonna

692
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:12,799
Speaker 1: be fine. I'm sure, I'm sure it will be good

693
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:16,080
Speaker 1: for you moving forward. Is not a good situation for

694
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 1: Rob Bryan, who is now unemployed. The New Orleans Saints,

695
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:24,120
Speaker 1: fresh off a waxing by the Redskins and at four

696
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:28,759
Speaker 1: team blowout loss last week, UM decided to dismiss their

697
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator coordinator, so Rob Bryant out of work. Dennis Allen,

698
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:38,080
Speaker 1: who was a senior defensive assistant on the staff prior

699
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:41,560
Speaker 1: to this announcement, is now the defensive coordinator Sean Payton,

700
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:43,400
Speaker 1: who I feel like he likes to play games with

701
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:46,440
Speaker 1: the media because this leaked out early Monday, and he

702
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:48,799
Speaker 1: made a point in his press conference to say that

703
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 1: nothing was gonna happen, like you know, that his staff

704
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 1: was intact, that maybe, thank you the GM Mickey Louis,

705
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:57,480
Speaker 1: maybe it would take a look at the staff, but

706
00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:00,480
Speaker 1: he had no changes on the horizon, and then three

707
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 1: hours later, Rob Bryan out of a job. Good job showing, Peyton.

708
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:07,240
Speaker 1: I think we finally have our answer to the question,

709
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:09,360
Speaker 1: what does Rob Bryant have to do to get fired?

710
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 1: Make Kirk Cousins look like Johnny United. Yeah, I think

711
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:16,800
Speaker 1: there was a stat out there that he became or

712
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:19,759
Speaker 1: this they became the first team to ever allow three

713
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 1: consecutive quarterbacks to pass for over three dred yards and

714
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:25,840
Speaker 1: four touchdowns without an interception like the one of the

715
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:30,000
Speaker 1: more gruesome statue I'll ever hear, uh landed against the defense.

716
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:32,800
Speaker 1: We wrote a making the lead piece on Rob Bryan

717
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:36,239
Speaker 1: season before he actually had a good year with the

718
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:38,440
Speaker 1: Saints and then the wheels completely fell off. But looking

719
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 1: at every one of his defenses when he's been the

720
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:44,839
Speaker 1: coordinator outside of one or two seasons, they have been

721
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:49,080
Speaker 1: a disaster, consistently just ranking in the low twenties, high twenties,

722
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 1: of of of being the worst in terms of yardage

723
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:54,920
Speaker 1: and points given up year after year. Sean Payton is

724
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:56,600
Speaker 1: a tough guy to work for, though he hasn't gotten

725
00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 1: along with his coordinators, every single one of them Spagnolo,

726
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:04,360
Speaker 1: Greg Williams, Gary Gibbs, people probably forget ever existed. Uh,

727
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 1: They've all struggled. Peyton, I believe, is the one picking

728
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:10,360
Speaker 1: the players which aren't very good. Mickey Loomis has the

729
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:12,719
Speaker 1: GM title. They have a scouting department. Mickey Loomis is

730
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:16,520
Speaker 1: running two major businesses, including an NBA team. I don't

731
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:18,720
Speaker 1: think he's going out there on the road beating the bushes.

732
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:22,279
Speaker 1: So Sean Payton deserves I will say, you can't say

733
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:25,640
Speaker 1: Peyton wasn't patient with Rob Bryan. They could have easily

734
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:27,920
Speaker 1: candom after last year when they were wretched. But how

735
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:30,279
Speaker 1: many head coaches are bickering with their coordinators on the

736
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:35,680
Speaker 1: sidelines on a regular basis? So insteads happened with Ryan's before.

737
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:38,920
Speaker 1: But that's you could say that's his fault. Then why

738
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 1: why bring in a replacement in Dennis Allen who was

739
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:44,120
Speaker 1: on the Saint staff I believe for four or five years,

740
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:48,640
Speaker 1: uh last decade. Have him sitting there waiting, so hey,

741
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 1: you can replace him, maybe, just you know, make the change,

742
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:54,920
Speaker 1: making a decision. Paints fans love Rob Ryan. I know

743
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:57,640
Speaker 1: we want to move Saints fans love Rob Ryan. Jeff

744
00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:01,320
Speaker 1: Duncan did a tweet about it, basically like no coaches

745
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 1: connected with the city more more than that, and showed

746
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:07,800
Speaker 1: this like candle that was being sold called St. Ryan

747
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:09,680
Speaker 1: and it was, you know, it was like in the

748
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:14,840
Speaker 1: French quarter that they're selling the St. Ryan candles the

749
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 1: year when they were good Yeah, the year when they

750
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 1: were good on defense with Ryan, that was a lot

751
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:23,720
Speaker 1: of fun because he was popping up over and over again,

752
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:27,560
Speaker 1: buying entire bars filled with people, like rounds of shots

753
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:29,879
Speaker 1: and enjoying the life. I think it might be good

754
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:31,640
Speaker 1: for Rob to get out of there. And Rex, by

755
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:34,200
Speaker 1: the way, of course, was asked about it on Tuesday

756
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:36,759
Speaker 1: and said he did not rule out the idea of

757
00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:41,200
Speaker 1: some type of brother brotherly reunion on his own staff

758
00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:44,440
Speaker 1: that should turn the Bills around. Yeah. Uh, the New

759
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:47,319
Speaker 1: York Giants will not have Victor Cruz this season. Uh.

760
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:49,880
Speaker 1: He is undergoing season and in calf surgery. So that

761
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:54,080
Speaker 1: torn for teller Uh tendon suffered last fall. Uh. They're

762
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:57,080
Speaker 1: saying it's not connected, but obviously there's something going on

763
00:38:57,120 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 1: with his lower body and that was a catastrophic injury

764
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:02,600
Speaker 1: last year. No cruise, so we will not get to

765
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:05,760
Speaker 1: see the O. D B Cruise mash up this season.

766
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:10,120
Speaker 1: More lockness monster news from the Giants. Yes, and finally,

767
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 1: the NFL has acknowledged an officiating era that costs the

768
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:18,239
Speaker 1: Ravens a game on Sunday, The final play against the Jaguars,

769
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:20,960
Speaker 1: the one that led to a face mask penalty um

770
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:24,719
Speaker 1: and the opportunity to kick along field goal which Jacksonville converted,

771
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:27,840
Speaker 1: should have never happened because Luke Jokel had not gotten

772
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:30,080
Speaker 1: set at the line. That should have been a false

773
00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 1: start and a ten second runoff. No timeouts for the Jaguars,

774
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:36,000
Speaker 1: means the game should have ended because of that ten

775
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:42,200
Speaker 1: second runoff. The NFL blew it unfortunately, and uh, I'm

776
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:44,600
Speaker 1: sure the Ravens aren't very thrilled that that happened. Not

777
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:47,759
Speaker 1: a banner year for NFL officiating, and I think they

778
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:49,640
Speaker 1: need to go back to the drawing board on the rules.

779
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:53,000
Speaker 1: A lot of on what rules well, starting with the

780
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:54,839
Speaker 1: catch roll, which is the worst rule in the history

781
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:56,879
Speaker 1: of sports. I think this should be able to be

782
00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 1: reviewed too. If you can say after the game that

783
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:02,200
Speaker 1: a call like the changes the game, and for all

784
00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:03,960
Speaker 1: the bad calls this year, this is the only one

785
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:08,200
Speaker 1: we know for certain directly change the win and loss

786
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:10,400
Speaker 1: in the standings, that they should be able to review that.

787
00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:12,080
Speaker 1: If they were able to say it the next a

788
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:13,800
Speaker 1: couple of days later, No, they should be able to

789
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:19,720
Speaker 1: review it that at the moment. Yeah, it's it's weird.

790
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:21,840
Speaker 1: The breakdown and what can be reviewed and what can't

791
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 1: like the safety that the Cardinals should have had. You

792
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:26,880
Speaker 1: can't review the fact that Russell Wilson didn't make the

793
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:30,000
Speaker 1: ball back to the line of scrimmage, which is odd.

794
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:31,920
Speaker 1: Of course it should be reviewed. Yeah, I mean, do

795
00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:35,880
Speaker 1: you think that down the road this should be handled differently?

796
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:39,680
Speaker 1: Should this be a Ravens victory not? I think they

797
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:42,920
Speaker 1: need to. I think they need to review all plays

798
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:45,799
Speaker 1: at the time. Then if if it's something that's so

799
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:49,560
Speaker 1: obvious in terms of a pre snap penalty, like why

800
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:52,320
Speaker 1: can't that be reviewed? But why can't a spot or

801
00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:56,440
Speaker 1: upstairs say no, I want to take a look. I

802
00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:59,320
Speaker 1: think there maybe was movement because if that was someone's

803
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:02,759
Speaker 1: job that that's all they're doing from upstairs is is

804
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:05,239
Speaker 1: officiating reviews. I think they would have been able to

805
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:07,320
Speaker 1: spot that. What if this happens in the a f

806
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 1: C Championship game, right and the wrong team goes to

807
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:12,960
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, there was going to be an absolute

808
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:15,960
Speaker 1: international melting. That's true. If this game was bigger, this

809
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:18,560
Speaker 1: story would be way bigger. All it does is keep

810
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:21,400
Speaker 1: the Jaguars a f C South hopes alive for not

811
00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:24,120
Speaker 1: no one cares about. But if it was a bigger game.

812
00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:26,360
Speaker 1: It would be huge. You know who cares about the

813
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:31,319
Speaker 1: Jaguars still being alive for playoff contention? NFL Network does,

814
00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:35,240
Speaker 1: because let's talk about Thursday night football. That's what's happening

815
00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:38,239
Speaker 1: in the news. By the way, the Tennessee Titans and

816
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:42,200
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars face off the first game of week eleven

817
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:46,560
Speaker 1: is Gregg corrected me very astute by Greg my mathematician

818
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 1: double checker. Although that's not really math. Well neither is

819
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:55,600
Speaker 1: the other quality control. Yes, you're like the guy on

820
00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:58,440
Speaker 1: the sideline that her telling you how many teams are

821
00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:01,439
Speaker 1: on a buy is not really math either. Well, it's

822
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:05,400
Speaker 1: a number. Yes, it's content provider. So this is a

823
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:08,160
Speaker 1: This is a game. You would think between two and

824
00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:11,359
Speaker 1: seven Tennessee team and a three and six Jaguars team

825
00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:14,520
Speaker 1: that would mean nothing and not worth watching. But they're

826
00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:16,560
Speaker 1: both in the a f C South, where yes, the

827
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:19,839
Speaker 1: Houston Texans and Indianapolis Colts are tied at four and five,

828
00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 1: so it amounts to uh, really a loser goes home

829
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:26,600
Speaker 1: match for at least Tennessee, who can't go two and eight.

830
00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:29,480
Speaker 1: But Jacksonville can be right in the mix near the

831
00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:34,560
Speaker 1: top of the division with the win. Mark your thoughts though, No,

832
00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:37,200
Speaker 1: I mean the league got lucky that you've got two

833
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:40,239
Speaker 1: very interesting quarterbacks to watch. That's the centerpiece of this

834
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:42,040
Speaker 1: game because for the second year in a row you

835
00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:45,439
Speaker 1: put a Jaguars Titans Tilts on very late in the year,

836
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:48,560
Speaker 1: very dubious. But this is interesting because you gotta get

837
00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:51,680
Speaker 1: each team a national game. That's the new rule. Yeah,

838
00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:53,000
Speaker 1: but you could have done this in a week. Three

839
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:55,120
Speaker 1: point is this game is still interesting because of the

840
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 1: quarterbacks and because of the fact that both teams are

841
00:42:57,719 --> 00:43:00,440
Speaker 1: alive in the worst division in football, is back the

842
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:03,359
Speaker 1: curtain in a big spot. Well, plus, they don't want

843
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:05,520
Speaker 1: to stick to pull back even more, they don't want

844
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:07,680
Speaker 1: to stick these teams on CBS, you know, not to

845
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:11,120
Speaker 1: have more to do with it. I love watching Blake

846
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:13,120
Speaker 1: Bortles each week, but he's got to play better. He's

847
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:15,320
Speaker 1: not played well over the last month. This breakout season

848
00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:18,839
Speaker 1: that he had that he's having is better statistically than

849
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:21,400
Speaker 1: it really is. Last week he could have had so

850
00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:25,239
Speaker 1: he could have had more turnovers over the last week

851
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:27,160
Speaker 1: that have been dropped by the other team. I mean,

852
00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:31,160
Speaker 1: even to play before the final uh face masks that

853
00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:32,880
Speaker 1: they won the game on. He just threw it up

854
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:35,440
Speaker 1: for grabs and the Ravens dropped it more turnovers than

855
00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:38,239
Speaker 1: Betty Crocker. That's what you were looking for. I I

856
00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:40,280
Speaker 1: want to echo Mark on this and let him develop.

857
00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:43,720
Speaker 1: Let him develop. I mean, he had an awful rookie season.

858
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:47,160
Speaker 1: He's made huge strudgsy right, He's not helping his team win,

859
00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:50,160
Speaker 1: but he's making huge straws. He's a much better quarterback

860
00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:53,560
Speaker 1: than he's moving the offense. That that's fair. And he

861
00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:57,000
Speaker 1: he's I think has more wow plays per game than

862
00:43:57,920 --> 00:44:00,759
Speaker 1: maybe any quarterback in the NFL. Right now, Well you

863
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:04,520
Speaker 1: really believe that in terms of just spins away where

864
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:06,400
Speaker 1: the an he throws it down the field, and his

865
00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:08,960
Speaker 1: running ability and he has got a huge arm and

866
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:11,640
Speaker 1: he goes for tough basses. He is about as flashy

867
00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:13,520
Speaker 1: as it gets. That's why I I find it more

868
00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:16,200
Speaker 1: fun to watch than Mariota, who's more of a consistent

869
00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:18,840
Speaker 1: sort of paint by numbers. Well, you're right, because Bortles

870
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:21,320
Speaker 1: is third in the league and passes the twenty plus yards.

871
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:23,560
Speaker 1: I mean, he's not afraid to fire it down field.

872
00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:26,959
Speaker 1: And you're absolutely right, West, Like, let's give these guys

873
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:29,120
Speaker 1: time him and Mariota maybe on a different track in

874
00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:31,800
Speaker 1: terms of their development. We're seeing things from Mariota that

875
00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:34,680
Speaker 1: Bortles does not do. But three or four years from now,

876
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:37,800
Speaker 1: this division will be completely different because of these two players.

877
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:41,360
Speaker 1: All right, let's go around the table and pick this game. Marcus,

878
00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:45,000
Speaker 1: start with you score and winner. Where is this game

879
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:49,239
Speaker 1: being played? Jacksonville. I'm gonna go Jaguars in a very

880
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:59,120
Speaker 1: very tight game twenty to nineteen. I'm gonna go Jaguars Titans. Alright, listen,

881
00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:02,719
Speaker 1: nobody goes ever bank Field. It comes out alive in

882
00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:05,839
Speaker 1: prime time, So I'm going with Jacksonville Jaguars as well.

883
00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:10,280
Speaker 1: I'm picking the Jaguars because that's what I want to happen.

884
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:13,279
Speaker 1: I want them to only be one half game back

885
00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:15,680
Speaker 1: of the first place team. They only play one winning

886
00:45:15,719 --> 00:45:18,719
Speaker 1: team the whole rest of the season, and that's the Falcons.

887
00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:21,480
Speaker 1: It's a pretty bad winning team, so maybe the Jaguars

888
00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:23,920
Speaker 1: can get on a run. Titan's got some short shrift

889
00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:26,919
Speaker 1: in this in this preview, but it's surroundful. You gotta

890
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:30,680
Speaker 1: stop playing Harry Douglas, Antonio Andrews, and Anthony Fasano as

891
00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:34,200
Speaker 1: Mariota's first three targets and I had a good team.

892
00:45:34,239 --> 00:45:36,600
Speaker 1: There should have been more clear about when going around

893
00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:38,719
Speaker 1: the table. I didn't think that you were gonna pick

894
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:41,719
Speaker 1: Greg because you know, well's where do you say that

895
00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:44,719
Speaker 1: You seem to have a problem with the fact that

896
00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:47,600
Speaker 1: I picked last week's game. I think it came up

897
00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:49,879
Speaker 1: and I've done it every single week, so it took

898
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:52,200
Speaker 1: you ten weeks to notice. I have a little problem

899
00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:54,880
Speaker 1: with the host of the show not being tuned into

900
00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:57,799
Speaker 1: what's been going on. Where is the burlap sack right now?

901
00:45:57,960 --> 00:46:00,800
Speaker 1: So it's still behind my monitor. We'll find it, alright, alright,

902
00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:04,040
Speaker 1: So that's it for the Thursday night preview. Give us

903
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:06,520
Speaker 1: a good show, a FC South, we beg of you,

904
00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:11,120
Speaker 1: And now we move on to a segment. Uh. We

905
00:46:11,520 --> 00:46:17,640
Speaker 1: like to call kualas to Fantasia. And essentially what this

906
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:22,439
Speaker 1: is is that we go around the table, and all

907
00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:25,800
Speaker 1: four of us go around the table, and we present

908
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:30,400
Speaker 1: a scenario and then we give the rest of the

909
00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:33,319
Speaker 1: group an opportunity to react. What would they do in

910
00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:39,160
Speaker 1: that situation that those are the basic rules or general

911
00:46:39,200 --> 00:46:44,120
Speaker 1: explanation of what is kualast Fantasia, which loosely translates to

912
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:48,880
Speaker 1: what's your fancy, So Mark, let's get going. Okay, this

913
00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:51,040
Speaker 1: hasn't This doesn't have to do at all with football.

914
00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:55,799
Speaker 1: Correct when you do it, it tends not to do

915
00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:57,640
Speaker 1: You want to save your non football one or they

916
00:46:57,719 --> 00:47:06,200
Speaker 1: go for it. Scenario one with the music anywhere. From

917
00:47:06,239 --> 00:47:09,680
Speaker 1: now until the end, you and your family want for nothing.

918
00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:15,400
Speaker 1: You all enjoy excellent health, vibrant friendships, endless money, and

919
00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:17,880
Speaker 1: no need to work a day job unless you want to.

920
00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:21,200
Speaker 1: You can travel the world at will, with the requisite peace,

921
00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:24,120
Speaker 1: quiet in time to accomplish a laundry list of personal

922
00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:26,919
Speaker 1: goals from now until old age, when you pass away

923
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:30,879
Speaker 1: peacefully with many friends and family at your side, one

924
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:35,319
Speaker 1: caveat at eleven o six pm of every night, a

925
00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:38,920
Speaker 1: small eleven like figure with black eyes appears by your

926
00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:41,600
Speaker 1: side to take a three by three millimeter chunk of

927
00:47:41,640 --> 00:47:44,239
Speaker 1: flesh out of your body with his razor like t

928
00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:55,720
Speaker 1: or Scenario too. You live for the next five years

929
00:47:55,760 --> 00:47:59,520
Speaker 1: as a lauded international superstar who brings peace to the world,

930
00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:02,799
Speaker 1: but every day is a quiet torment because you have

931
00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:06,720
Speaker 1: a forty parasite inside of you, slowly eating your innerts,

932
00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:10,560
Speaker 1: leading to your death on a November seventeen, two twenty

933
00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:17,040
Speaker 1: flight to Moscow. Um, this really does speak to perhaps

934
00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:19,160
Speaker 1: where you are in life right now. Mark, there's a

935
00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:22,879
Speaker 1: lot of darkness in this can One just made these up,

936
00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:27,279
Speaker 1: but it's it's showing your inner, inner cessler, your id.

937
00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:32,759
Speaker 1: Can one survives with a three but three millimeter chunk

938
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:36,520
Speaker 1: of flesh being taken out of here's the thing. I

939
00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:40,200
Speaker 1: picked the location, so it's different each time. But what's

940
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:46,359
Speaker 1: a three millimeter? Is nothing? Right? Every day I'm still

941
00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:49,640
Speaker 1: to me if I'm taking there, Yeah, it's clear the

942
00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:55,160
Speaker 1: eleven creature millimeters, they're small. The second option sounds terrible.

943
00:48:55,400 --> 00:48:57,719
Speaker 1: I wouldn't even really want to be a superhero. You know.

944
00:48:57,920 --> 00:49:00,799
Speaker 1: It's got a not only can you not enjoy being

945
00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:02,959
Speaker 1: the superhero because you have the thing inside your body.

946
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:04,759
Speaker 1: You're gonna die in five years, So all of it

947
00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:08,160
Speaker 1: bring peace to the world, but only for five years,

948
00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:11,759
Speaker 1: because once you're dead that everything can revert back. Will

949
00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:15,680
Speaker 1: you bring peace to the world the whole thing? I

950
00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:21,640
Speaker 1: would assume it's and everyone's getting along. You give the

951
00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:24,120
Speaker 1: world a reset button, but you'd be gone because of

952
00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:28,120
Speaker 1: this massive keep. This is very similar. You often have these.

953
00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:32,319
Speaker 1: One is one is riches and and ease, and then

954
00:49:32,320 --> 00:49:34,720
Speaker 1: the other is like saving the world and then dying.

955
00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:37,880
Speaker 1: There's always death involved as well. There will be in

956
00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:41,160
Speaker 1: any scenario, We're all gonna die. That's true. Uh My,

957
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:43,520
Speaker 1: this is gonna seem cynical about the world. But number

958
00:49:43,520 --> 00:49:45,400
Speaker 1: two doesn't work as an option for me because I

959
00:49:45,440 --> 00:49:52,480
Speaker 1: think we would regress as humanity after I was gone. Essentially,

960
00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:54,320
Speaker 1: if I'm putting myself on the shoes of this character,

961
00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:57,040
Speaker 1: I don't like to be getting a goblin to be

962
00:49:57,120 --> 00:49:59,400
Speaker 1: biting into my flesh every night. But I'm gonna go

963
00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:03,959
Speaker 1: with that. That's fair. Hoame with choice A, and I'll

964
00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:08,520
Speaker 1: save my reasoning for the theology podcast. Yeah, I think

965
00:50:10,320 --> 00:50:12,680
Speaker 1: I'm kind of a night person, so like the eleven

966
00:50:12,680 --> 00:50:17,160
Speaker 1: oh six thing doesn't bother me. All right, West, you're up.

967
00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:21,399
Speaker 1: I'll have one to do with football here. Okay, you're

968
00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:24,920
Speaker 1: the head coach. You can talk yourself into suddenly fixed

969
00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:29,160
Speaker 1: coach Killer Jake Cutler is your franch franchise quarterback, devoting

970
00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:31,520
Speaker 1: twenty million dollars a year and compromising the rest of

971
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:35,200
Speaker 1: your roster in NFL twenty million year or whatever he

972
00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:38,720
Speaker 1: gets paid a year. Okay, but you're in NFL purgatory

973
00:50:38,760 --> 00:50:41,560
Speaker 1: because Jake Cutler's well, you're gonna talk yourself into or

974
00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:45,160
Speaker 1: sign Kirk Cousins in two thousand sixteen and hope for

975
00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:48,200
Speaker 1: a Ryan Fitzpatrick like patch for a contender while you

976
00:50:48,280 --> 00:50:53,040
Speaker 1: draft the future quarterback. That is easy for me because

977
00:50:53,080 --> 00:50:56,239
Speaker 1: I like like us. I like Kirk Cousins more than

978
00:50:56,400 --> 00:50:59,480
Speaker 1: some others, and I think Kirk Cousins is a more

979
00:50:59,520 --> 00:51:02,320
Speaker 1: a tract to target than Kurt than than Cutler. On

980
00:51:02,360 --> 00:51:06,880
Speaker 1: the free timing Cousins at the same set, the timing

981
00:51:06,920 --> 00:51:09,799
Speaker 1: of the Kirk Cousins after his best game, it makes

982
00:51:09,880 --> 00:51:12,480
Speaker 1: him look more attractive. But from a more big picture,

983
00:51:12,560 --> 00:51:15,279
Speaker 1: he hasn't been a very dynamic this season at all

984
00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:17,879
Speaker 1: or in the NFL. And completion percentage he's a higher

985
00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:20,520
Speaker 1: QBR than Cam Newton and Russell Wilson. He and that's

986
00:51:20,560 --> 00:51:22,719
Speaker 1: without the Sean Jackson and with a beat up off.

987
00:51:22,719 --> 00:51:24,640
Speaker 1: And the point you make is that you still can

988
00:51:24,719 --> 00:51:27,239
Speaker 1: keep an eye towards the future for another quarter. Absolutely,

989
00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:29,839
Speaker 1: I think you can do that with Cutler. I don't

990
00:51:29,920 --> 00:51:33,720
Speaker 1: accept that you have to. I am as a GM

991
00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:36,399
Speaker 1: and a coach. I'll pay Cutler the money and I'll

992
00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:38,920
Speaker 1: still draft a quarterback high because that's just how I'm

993
00:51:38,920 --> 00:51:40,880
Speaker 1: gonna roll. You need a quarterback. The key to this

994
00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:45,440
Speaker 1: change my my mental process. Key to this is you're

995
00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:47,720
Speaker 1: the head coach, which you know you will Jake Cutler

996
00:51:47,760 --> 00:51:50,719
Speaker 1: will get you fired exactly. Well, I'm not accepting that.

997
00:51:50,760 --> 00:51:53,160
Speaker 1: If you if you're if you're saying it gets you fired,

998
00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:56,680
Speaker 1: it's not really even an option. You're just got in. Yeah,

999
00:51:56,680 --> 00:51:59,520
Speaker 1: you're using it as a point any coach, and know that, right,

1000
00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:02,239
Speaker 1: I thought you, I thought you were more wise than that.

1001
00:52:02,960 --> 00:52:05,279
Speaker 1: I uh, First of all, the color is not getting

1002
00:52:05,280 --> 00:52:07,160
Speaker 1: anybody fired this year. By the way, can we talk

1003
00:52:07,160 --> 00:52:10,560
Speaker 1: about the present. He's getting someone hired, and in two

1004
00:52:10,600 --> 00:52:12,879
Speaker 1: thousand and thirteen he wasn't getting trustment fired. It took

1005
00:52:12,880 --> 00:52:15,839
Speaker 1: a year, Kirk Cousins. If he continues at this rate,

1006
00:52:15,880 --> 00:52:18,479
Speaker 1: the Redskins fans are convinced he's gonna get fifteen million

1007
00:52:18,520 --> 00:52:20,879
Speaker 1: dollars a year because the Redskins are suckers, and so

1008
00:52:21,040 --> 00:52:23,160
Speaker 1: it's really not that big of a difference. Anyways, I

1009
00:52:23,160 --> 00:52:27,120
Speaker 1: think they're both bridge quarterbacks. I'd give Cutler the extra money.

1010
00:52:27,760 --> 00:52:36,520
Speaker 1: Crazy talk. Moving to our next adventure. You are Aaron Rodgers.

1011
00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:39,800
Speaker 1: You have gone from the recognized greatest quarterback alive to

1012
00:52:39,880 --> 00:52:43,160
Speaker 1: the focus of widespread national scrutiny. As the Packers offense

1013
00:52:43,280 --> 00:52:46,680
Speaker 1: is stumbled during an embarrassing losing streak. One day, a

1014
00:52:46,760 --> 00:52:51,480
Speaker 1: small creature approaches you, maybe a goblin, a diminutive wizard,

1015
00:52:51,480 --> 00:52:54,240
Speaker 1: perhaps a magical gnome. It presents you with an option.

1016
00:52:54,280 --> 00:52:57,279
Speaker 1: He can instantly heal Jordy Nelson's a c L and

1017
00:52:57,360 --> 00:53:00,000
Speaker 1: allow the Packers to access a little known league loophole

1018
00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:04,000
Speaker 1: that restores Nelson to the active roster, effective immediately. The

1019
00:53:04,040 --> 00:53:07,160
Speaker 1: wizard suggests, but does not promise, that Nelson's return will

1020
00:53:07,160 --> 00:53:09,960
Speaker 1: spark a Super Bowl run for the Ages. In return

1021
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:13,120
Speaker 1: for this good fortune, the wizard says that Olivia Munn,

1022
00:53:13,600 --> 00:53:17,040
Speaker 1: Rogers's girlfriend will be blackballed from Hollywood and never work again.

1023
00:53:17,640 --> 00:53:20,320
Speaker 1: No explanation will ever be given. A truly crushing blow

1024
00:53:20,360 --> 00:53:24,359
Speaker 1: to a good woman. Only you, Aaron Rodgers, would know

1025
00:53:24,400 --> 00:53:27,600
Speaker 1: why and why this secret will never get out. What

1026
00:53:27,640 --> 00:53:32,439
Speaker 1: do you do? Or should I say? Well, this one's easy.

1027
00:53:32,480 --> 00:53:38,840
Speaker 1: You get Jordy Nelson. Why is Hollywood so great? She

1028
00:53:38,880 --> 00:53:41,120
Speaker 1: can still act on Broadway if she really loves acting?

1029
00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:45,240
Speaker 1: She's blackballed? From acting. Now you said Hollywood blackballed from Hollywood.

1030
00:53:45,280 --> 00:53:47,040
Speaker 1: All right, she can still act if you want to

1031
00:53:47,080 --> 00:53:51,960
Speaker 1: bang me on a loophole here, I'm saying, question, it

1032
00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:55,080
Speaker 1: was more about her superstardom and image. I think she

1033
00:53:55,200 --> 00:53:57,839
Speaker 1: as a person might be more whole by acting on

1034
00:53:57,880 --> 00:54:01,279
Speaker 1: Broadway or at your theater. You're deciding for her what

1035
00:54:01,360 --> 00:54:03,560
Speaker 1: her ambition should. I'm deciding because I'm Aaron Rodgers, and

1036
00:54:03,600 --> 00:54:06,479
Speaker 1: I get to make the choice. And if this woman

1037
00:54:06,600 --> 00:54:09,839
Speaker 1: is worth if she's worth what I think he is, well,

1038
00:54:09,880 --> 00:54:11,839
Speaker 1: I think she is. She's gonna be okay with not

1039
00:54:11,920 --> 00:54:16,480
Speaker 1: being some Hollywood sup That's nonsense. She that's her career,

1040
00:54:16,600 --> 00:54:19,480
Speaker 1: that's what she fights. That's her version of playing. Focuses

1041
00:54:20,520 --> 00:54:23,239
Speaker 1: find fulfillment. Once again, another man in this room is

1042
00:54:23,280 --> 00:54:26,320
Speaker 1: telling another woman how to think. Thank you, you know, Greg,

1043
00:54:26,520 --> 00:54:29,240
Speaker 1: thank you. That's what you're doing here. You're you're putting

1044
00:54:29,239 --> 00:54:31,960
Speaker 1: on Aaron Rodgers ahead of Oliviam as a person. No,

1045
00:54:32,160 --> 00:54:34,200
Speaker 1: I would think that if I was dating someone and

1046
00:54:34,239 --> 00:54:36,640
Speaker 1: it was just about the Hollywood of it. I mean,

1047
00:54:36,640 --> 00:54:39,200
Speaker 1: if she's into acting, she'd be okay with Broadway. Well,

1048
00:54:39,200 --> 00:54:42,880
Speaker 1: of course, well the Broadway thing. She said, she's not acting.

1049
00:54:42,920 --> 00:54:44,800
Speaker 1: She's not acting, she's out of the acting game. She

1050
00:54:44,840 --> 00:54:47,239
Speaker 1: can't get a job. I'm still going with Jordy Noble.

1051
00:54:48,080 --> 00:54:52,480
Speaker 1: I would not because it's one season and there is

1052
00:54:52,520 --> 00:54:54,759
Speaker 1: no loophole that would allow Jordy Nelson back. But let's

1053
00:54:54,760 --> 00:54:57,120
Speaker 1: say it was still I don't think it works in

1054
00:54:57,160 --> 00:55:00,200
Speaker 1: any situation where you're a human being and you pull

1055
00:55:00,280 --> 00:55:06,560
Speaker 1: the lever to essentially alter or completely leverage someone else's lifestyle,

1056
00:55:06,719 --> 00:55:09,239
Speaker 1: career or anything, and then just have that be on

1057
00:55:09,280 --> 00:55:11,880
Speaker 1: your conscience. I couldn't live with exactly. It's easy you

1058
00:55:11,960 --> 00:55:16,000
Speaker 1: go with keeping mind in business because you're Aaron Rodgers

1059
00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:18,080
Speaker 1: and you believe you can still take this team to

1060
00:55:18,120 --> 00:55:21,320
Speaker 1: the Zuero without Jordy Nelson because you're the best quarterback

1061
00:55:21,360 --> 00:55:23,600
Speaker 1: in the league or next year. That's sort of confidence

1062
00:55:24,440 --> 00:55:27,000
Speaker 1: you don't have. You come around with this logic. You

1063
00:55:27,040 --> 00:55:31,080
Speaker 1: still believe Olivia. I think she was worth selling jewelry

1064
00:55:31,160 --> 00:55:33,480
Speaker 1: at the Convention Center. If she was worth being with me.

1065
00:55:33,520 --> 00:55:36,680
Speaker 1: She wouldn't care that much about her image, her career,

1066
00:55:36,719 --> 00:55:40,080
Speaker 1: though it's her career. Who about couldn't write about football anymore?

1067
00:55:40,080 --> 00:55:42,120
Speaker 1: I have to write about garbage trucks. Trucks. I'll be

1068
00:55:42,160 --> 00:55:44,640
Speaker 1: fine with that. Okay, still writing, were now on the

1069
00:55:44,640 --> 00:55:47,920
Speaker 1: garbage truck whatever for around in the NFL. My son

1070
00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:55,880
Speaker 1: watches He's not alone. All right, that's it, Greg, alright, Uh,

1071
00:55:56,000 --> 00:56:01,640
Speaker 1: let's get going. You have a brother who's dying. Oh,

1072
00:56:02,640 --> 00:56:07,000
Speaker 1: he's gonna die. He has a rare disease that his

1073
00:56:07,160 --> 00:56:13,280
Speaker 1: emotional stability is connected to his physical health, and almost

1074
00:56:13,280 --> 00:56:16,799
Speaker 1: all of his emotions are tied to the fortunes of

1075
00:56:16,840 --> 00:56:20,040
Speaker 1: his favorite NFL team. But you have a chance to

1076
00:56:20,200 --> 00:56:24,600
Speaker 1: just erase his memory of who his favorite team is.

1077
00:56:24,840 --> 00:56:28,960
Speaker 1: So his health, his life, and his fortunes are tied

1078
00:56:29,239 --> 00:56:33,040
Speaker 1: to whichever team that you choose for him for the

1079
00:56:33,080 --> 00:56:36,520
Speaker 1: rest of the year. But you only have two options. Weirdly,

1080
00:56:36,600 --> 00:56:38,880
Speaker 1: I don't know why. Who knows why? You only have

1081
00:56:38,960 --> 00:56:42,960
Speaker 1: two options? And those two teams are the Denver Broncos

1082
00:56:43,160 --> 00:56:46,400
Speaker 1: and the Cincinnati Bengals, which everyone makes it further in

1083
00:56:46,440 --> 00:56:48,440
Speaker 1: the playoffs, is going to give him a better chance

1084
00:56:48,640 --> 00:56:53,080
Speaker 1: to live? Wals to Fantasia. I would say it would

1085
00:56:53,080 --> 00:56:55,480
Speaker 1: never be too soon, Greg to say goodbye to your brother.

1086
00:56:57,239 --> 00:57:00,799
Speaker 1: The scenario, What does that even mean? Because the poor

1087
00:57:00,880 --> 00:57:05,120
Speaker 1: kids banged either way? No, uh, I'm saying it looks

1088
00:57:05,160 --> 00:57:08,279
Speaker 1: medical science. It's it's a crazy world. You're looking for

1089
00:57:08,320 --> 00:57:11,719
Speaker 1: the best chance to keep him alive, and if you

1090
00:57:11,840 --> 00:57:14,000
Speaker 1: choose the team that goes further in the playoffs, that's

1091
00:57:14,120 --> 00:57:16,200
Speaker 1: really going to help his chance, probably kind of keep

1092
00:57:16,560 --> 00:57:19,080
Speaker 1: him alive. If you make the wrong choice, then you're

1093
00:57:19,080 --> 00:57:24,800
Speaker 1: playing with fire. Bengals. Yeah, Bengals, Yeah, I agree. I mean,

1094
00:57:25,040 --> 00:57:28,160
Speaker 1: I'm surprised we all agree, but I feel like the

1095
00:57:28,200 --> 00:57:30,680
Speaker 1: Broncos are in a really tough spot without a quarterback,

1096
00:57:30,680 --> 00:57:34,560
Speaker 1: potentially without a running game, without an offensive line. Yeah,

1097
00:57:34,600 --> 00:57:39,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I never believe that historic defense, great defense,

1098
00:57:40,400 --> 00:57:43,480
Speaker 1: quarterback league. It's a quarterback, not about going with the

1099
00:57:43,480 --> 00:57:45,960
Speaker 1: Panthers is not back in any team without a quarterback?

1100
00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:47,480
Speaker 1: What if they both go down in the a f

1101
00:57:47,560 --> 00:57:52,840
Speaker 1: C Division Round? Is so? What game happened earlier? Kid Croaks? Look,

1102
00:57:52,880 --> 00:57:54,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just putting a lot of pressure. That's

1103
00:57:54,920 --> 00:57:57,440
Speaker 1: why you gotta make the ultimate you are You're you're

1104
00:57:57,720 --> 00:58:00,920
Speaker 1: willing to give up West of this to save your brother. Oh,

1105
00:58:00,920 --> 00:58:03,840
Speaker 1: it's kind my brother. It's your brother that almost makes

1106
00:58:03,920 --> 00:58:06,400
Speaker 1: up for what you did to Olivia on West. She's

1107
00:58:06,440 --> 00:58:11,280
Speaker 1: still alive, she's still fine. It's you and the tricky

1108
00:58:11,280 --> 00:58:13,480
Speaker 1: thing for West is he actually has to choose which brother?

1109
00:58:13,800 --> 00:58:16,520
Speaker 1: Hey living living on I wanted to play short stuff

1110
00:58:16,520 --> 00:58:20,160
Speaker 1: for the Reds. It didn't happen. Deal with it. Sorry,

1111
00:58:20,240 --> 00:58:22,400
Speaker 1: I don't feel that badly for I know it's not

1112
00:58:22,440 --> 00:58:24,720
Speaker 1: the end of the world. There are people dying because

1113
00:58:24,720 --> 00:58:28,440
Speaker 1: you wouldn't choose world peace. Listen, that's fair. That is

1114
00:58:28,560 --> 00:58:31,120
Speaker 1: that is so unfair to throw that. That is extremely fair.

1115
00:58:31,160 --> 00:58:33,800
Speaker 1: I thought that out. All right, go ahead, Mark, not

1116
00:58:33,920 --> 00:58:37,960
Speaker 1: more time around the horn. Alright. Scenario one, you are

1117
00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:42,320
Speaker 1: frozen cryogenically and return to consciousness in the year twenty two.

1118
00:58:42,360 --> 00:58:45,640
Speaker 1: In your current state, you haven't aged a day, and

1119
00:58:45,720 --> 00:58:48,320
Speaker 1: all your family and friends are long gone, but you

1120
00:58:48,360 --> 00:58:50,560
Speaker 1: are given proof that the people close to you live

1121
00:58:50,640 --> 00:58:53,160
Speaker 1: joyous lives, are remembered you until the end, and now

1122
00:58:53,160 --> 00:58:59,000
Speaker 1: you fend for yourself in two or wait, wait, what's

1123
00:58:59,040 --> 00:59:02,360
Speaker 1: the upshot? That? Alright? Good? Well? At NFL honors or

1124
00:59:02,520 --> 00:59:05,320
Speaker 1: at NFL Honors, you are kidnapped off the red carpet

1125
00:59:05,360 --> 00:59:09,640
Speaker 1: by Isis taken along with Kate Winslet the two of

1126
00:59:09,680 --> 00:59:11,720
Speaker 1: you will remain in their grips for the rest of

1127
00:59:11,720 --> 00:59:14,880
Speaker 1: your life. Working as data entry specialists in a war

1128
00:59:14,960 --> 00:59:18,080
Speaker 1: torn mountain compound. You will never speak to anyone you

1129
00:59:18,080 --> 00:59:22,240
Speaker 1: know again. So I'm definitely taking the time trail into

1130
00:59:22,240 --> 00:59:25,520
Speaker 1: the future one where people I know and love are happy.

1131
00:59:25,760 --> 00:59:28,040
Speaker 1: But they're all dead, right, don't you say they were long?

1132
00:59:29,640 --> 00:59:35,440
Speaker 1: That's either way. I don't get to see my family

1133
00:59:35,480 --> 00:59:40,040
Speaker 1: and friends ever again. Are you suggesting, though, that the

1134
00:59:40,120 --> 00:59:43,320
Speaker 1: relationship with Winslet could turn out to be more than

1135
00:59:43,400 --> 00:59:45,560
Speaker 1: just friends. That's up to you. I'm not in charge

1136
00:59:45,560 --> 00:59:52,400
Speaker 1: of that. Okay, I could come back inter Yeah, I'm

1137
00:59:52,440 --> 00:59:55,120
Speaker 1: gonna have to. But if I'm if I'm living on

1138
00:59:55,160 --> 01:00:00,480
Speaker 1: a mountain compound of some kind doing office work with Winslet,

1139
01:00:00,480 --> 01:00:02,479
Speaker 1: I don't have any access to my friends and family either,

1140
01:00:02,600 --> 01:00:05,440
Speaker 1: right right, That's I said, you will never speak to

1141
01:00:05,440 --> 01:00:08,320
Speaker 1: anyone you know ever again. So there's there on somewhere

1142
01:00:08,600 --> 01:00:12,040
Speaker 1: that way too. So either both these scenarios, all my

1143
01:00:12,080 --> 01:00:13,800
Speaker 1: family and friends are dead, and you have to deal

1144
01:00:13,840 --> 01:00:16,320
Speaker 1: with isis And the only problem is that you know

1145
01:00:16,440 --> 01:00:18,920
Speaker 1: you you're twenty two, twenty two, who knows what's happening?

1146
01:00:18,960 --> 01:00:24,080
Speaker 1: You could there, you could actually live. You're counting on

1147
01:00:24,200 --> 01:00:28,240
Speaker 1: us to bank on this small upside of a romantic

1148
01:00:28,280 --> 01:00:32,360
Speaker 1: relationship with That's the only thing that's well, you'd probably

1149
01:00:32,520 --> 01:00:35,720
Speaker 1: have a better shot than anyone else around her. I think, yeah,

1150
01:00:35,720 --> 01:00:37,440
Speaker 1: I think that's maybe if you would have made it

1151
01:00:37,480 --> 01:00:40,200
Speaker 1: like Milana vine Trub or someone different. I don't know.

1152
01:00:40,200 --> 01:00:44,640
Speaker 1: Winslet doesn't really take the peaches off my tree, you know,

1153
01:00:45,640 --> 01:00:50,040
Speaker 1: to each his own, Yes, you're up. You can keep

1154
01:00:50,040 --> 01:00:55,200
Speaker 1: plugging away, grinding through the end of the regular season, January, coaching,

1155
01:00:55,320 --> 01:00:58,800
Speaker 1: change season, the super Bowl as you do every year.

1156
01:00:59,720 --> 01:01:01,880
Speaker 1: By basically, you're gonna keep doing your job like you

1157
01:01:01,920 --> 01:01:06,840
Speaker 1: do every year. Or much like Rob Ryan, your season

1158
01:01:06,960 --> 01:01:09,120
Speaker 1: is over. You're not fired, but your season is over.

1159
01:01:09,520 --> 01:01:12,480
Speaker 1: You can fade into a pristine forest land for the

1160
01:01:12,520 --> 01:01:15,800
Speaker 1: next three months and return at the combine with this

1161
01:01:15,960 --> 01:01:19,840
Speaker 1: jumbo size caveat. You have to write every making the leap,

1162
01:01:20,440 --> 01:01:24,520
Speaker 1: every roster reset, and every projected starters assignment with the

1163
01:01:24,520 --> 01:01:27,640
Speaker 1: other three people in this studio, take the entirety of May, June,

1164
01:01:27,640 --> 01:01:31,680
Speaker 1: and July. Offer vacation like this one. This one is

1165
01:01:31,680 --> 01:01:35,480
Speaker 1: directed at one person. It's written like one person in

1166
01:01:35,480 --> 01:01:38,280
Speaker 1: this room too. Um Mark, we'll give this one two

1167
01:01:38,320 --> 01:01:46,840
Speaker 1: first go ahead. It's attractive, it's real attractive, but I

1168
01:01:46,880 --> 01:01:50,320
Speaker 1: think stressing me out well What would stress me out though,

1169
01:01:50,440 --> 01:01:53,960
Speaker 1: is probably over the dwindling months between now and the

1170
01:01:54,040 --> 01:01:58,000
Speaker 1: count combine as each week chips, you realize that what's

1171
01:01:58,080 --> 01:02:01,960
Speaker 1: next is a disaster, and so I would stay with

1172
01:02:02,000 --> 01:02:06,080
Speaker 1: the steady flow of work among others. Over the very

1173
01:02:06,120 --> 01:02:09,080
Speaker 1: attractive scenario over three wells. First time you've ever turned

1174
01:02:09,080 --> 01:02:12,400
Speaker 1: down a Christine forest land? Right? That the forest land

1175
01:02:12,480 --> 01:02:16,720
Speaker 1: is what ruins it for me. I think you can

1176
01:02:16,800 --> 01:02:20,760
Speaker 1: have your own version of My version is yeah, my couch, uh,

1177
01:02:20,880 --> 01:02:23,360
Speaker 1: you know, go to the beach a little bit. Then

1178
01:02:23,480 --> 01:02:26,080
Speaker 1: if that's the case, now you said the other these

1179
01:02:26,200 --> 01:02:28,120
Speaker 1: three guys. You know, three people in this room are

1180
01:02:28,160 --> 01:02:33,360
Speaker 1: on vacation for three months. But do I have Connor

1181
01:02:33,440 --> 01:02:36,280
Speaker 1: and Kevin helping me with news? That's a big factor.

1182
01:02:36,400 --> 01:02:38,760
Speaker 1: You have Connor Kelvin helping me with your news, but

1183
01:02:38,800 --> 01:02:41,040
Speaker 1: you have to write every one of these features. I

1184
01:02:41,080 --> 01:02:44,280
Speaker 1: will take the vacation. You're gonna you're gonna take the

1185
01:02:44,280 --> 01:02:47,800
Speaker 1: rest of the season off if there's no social problem

1186
01:02:47,800 --> 01:02:50,400
Speaker 1: with that. Essentially, in this scenario, everyone is totally cool

1187
01:02:50,400 --> 01:02:54,680
Speaker 1: with that. There's downside. We can arrange this with shadow

1188
01:02:54,760 --> 01:02:57,000
Speaker 1: lead figures tomorrow, I would take I would take the

1189
01:02:57,040 --> 01:02:59,360
Speaker 1: time off would be great. I would work on this

1190
01:02:59,760 --> 01:03:02,600
Speaker 1: dur in the time off. I'd be at my own

1191
01:03:02,640 --> 01:03:04,680
Speaker 1: pace or whatever, and I think I could bang those

1192
01:03:04,720 --> 01:03:07,400
Speaker 1: out fairly. It would be okay if if I'm a

1193
01:03:07,520 --> 01:03:09,880
Speaker 1: west Can, I had one minor caveat you would have

1194
01:03:09,920 --> 01:03:14,640
Speaker 1: to go to handsome hanks Am meetings just once, that

1195
01:03:15,160 --> 01:03:17,160
Speaker 1: one thing about making the leap, Like, I could write

1196
01:03:17,160 --> 01:03:19,959
Speaker 1: them all now, because my accuracy rate will be as

1197
01:03:20,240 --> 01:03:22,160
Speaker 1: accurate as they are when we sit there in the

1198
01:03:22,200 --> 01:03:25,040
Speaker 1: summer thinking we know who Christine Michael is. You never

1199
01:03:25,080 --> 01:03:30,080
Speaker 1: answered it, h Um. I would work. I would not

1200
01:03:30,120 --> 01:03:33,240
Speaker 1: take the vacation because I think I would be staring

1201
01:03:33,280 --> 01:03:36,320
Speaker 1: at the calendar, uh, knowing that this break was ending

1202
01:03:36,320 --> 01:03:38,840
Speaker 1: and I was gonna get banged hard. Maybe I would

1203
01:03:38,880 --> 01:03:40,880
Speaker 1: do like one a day while I was on. Maybe.

1204
01:03:40,960 --> 01:03:42,800
Speaker 1: I just really wanted to take the entirety of the

1205
01:03:44,040 --> 01:03:46,520
Speaker 1: one of you guys, that's everything, all right? Two more,

1206
01:03:46,560 --> 01:03:51,000
Speaker 1: here we go you are NFL rules are Dean Blandino. No,

1207
01:03:52,040 --> 01:03:53,520
Speaker 1: I didn't really have one for I wanted to come

1208
01:03:53,600 --> 01:03:55,960
Speaker 1: up with one for him, but I couldn't come up

1209
01:03:55,960 --> 01:03:58,240
Speaker 1: with one. I just wanted to say that here we go,

1210
01:03:58,880 --> 01:04:02,880
Speaker 1: you are pay Treot's owner Robert Kraft. One day next March,

1211
01:04:03,040 --> 01:04:05,800
Speaker 1: Tom Brady walks into your office and reveals to you

1212
01:04:05,840 --> 01:04:09,200
Speaker 1: that he does indeed plan to play until age seven.

1213
01:04:09,280 --> 01:04:13,920
Speaker 1: He confides that through sports science, healthy eating, and quote

1214
01:04:14,320 --> 01:04:18,040
Speaker 1: secret Gazelle related reasons close quote, he can guarantee he

1215
01:04:18,080 --> 01:04:20,360
Speaker 1: will play in an all pro level for the balance

1216
01:04:20,360 --> 01:04:23,640
Speaker 1: of his incredible career. But there's one catch. Brady demands

1217
01:04:24,240 --> 01:04:28,720
Speaker 1: that Craft renamed the Patriots the New England Tom Brady's. Furthermore,

1218
01:04:28,840 --> 01:04:31,600
Speaker 1: the Brady demands that you Lette Stadium be renamed be

1219
01:04:31,720 --> 01:04:36,320
Speaker 1: renamed Man Tom Brady is just two's perfect? Am I right? Stadium,

1220
01:04:36,560 --> 01:04:40,320
Speaker 1: Craft or his successor can reverse the changes after Brady's

1221
01:04:40,360 --> 01:04:47,800
Speaker 1: career is through. Well, what's the other option? Keeping keeping

1222
01:04:47,800 --> 01:04:50,920
Speaker 1: the name of the team. I would do it as

1223
01:04:50,920 --> 01:04:52,800
Speaker 1: long as I can. You would become a laughing stock

1224
01:04:52,800 --> 01:04:55,120
Speaker 1: of the league and laughing stock on my way to

1225
01:04:55,160 --> 01:04:57,680
Speaker 1: ten Lombardi Trophy. I think that New England Tom Brady

1226
01:04:57,760 --> 01:05:00,800
Speaker 1: sounds like a terrific idea. It doesn't even sound a downside.

1227
01:05:01,000 --> 01:05:03,920
Speaker 1: How the favor of it, does he play dot is

1228
01:05:03,960 --> 01:05:06,320
Speaker 1: their genuine proof that he'd play at this level for

1229
01:05:06,360 --> 01:05:09,920
Speaker 1: that entire time? Promises it that He's perfected the art

1230
01:05:09,920 --> 01:05:13,400
Speaker 1: of taking a seconfessional athletics, but be seen thirty years

1231
01:05:13,400 --> 01:05:16,040
Speaker 1: from now, fifty years from now is an absolute revolution.

1232
01:05:16,080 --> 01:05:19,760
Speaker 1: You've got the Cleveland Browns. I mean, I didn't see

1233
01:05:19,760 --> 01:05:24,040
Speaker 1: Paul Brown back there against the pass rush throwing for touchdowns.

1234
01:05:24,080 --> 01:05:26,760
Speaker 1: I'm down with the New England bradies. Let's do it tomorrow.

1235
01:05:26,840 --> 01:05:28,680
Speaker 1: Who cares if people are making fun of your name

1236
01:05:28,760 --> 01:05:30,959
Speaker 1: change when you've already had to go through the flake gate.

1237
01:05:31,160 --> 01:05:34,040
Speaker 1: So you guys, okay, nothing man. Tom Brady is just

1238
01:05:34,120 --> 01:05:38,160
Speaker 1: too perfect, am I right? There's like twelve stadiums that

1239
01:05:38,240 --> 01:05:41,520
Speaker 1: have worst names already. Here's why. Um, I don't think

1240
01:05:41,520 --> 01:05:44,080
Speaker 1: you would do it as Bob Kraft, That's true. I

1241
01:05:44,080 --> 01:05:47,560
Speaker 1: think I said one earlier ever bank Field. Um, I

1242
01:05:47,600 --> 01:05:50,960
Speaker 1: think the owners have egos and they would not be

1243
01:05:51,000 --> 01:05:54,560
Speaker 1: comfortable with the player getting that much glory his stadium. Right,

1244
01:05:54,560 --> 01:05:57,320
Speaker 1: But you said, I'm Robert Kraft, right, Yeah, I'm fine

1245
01:05:57,320 --> 01:06:03,320
Speaker 1: with it, right, No, Right, So we're all doing more

1246
01:06:03,400 --> 01:06:09,840
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, please? All right. The addition of multiple Los

1247
01:06:09,840 --> 01:06:14,480
Speaker 1: Angeles organizations to the NFL has thrown Roger Goodell and

1248
01:06:14,680 --> 01:06:18,520
Speaker 1: in the league for a loop. They're gonna let the

1249
01:06:18,680 --> 01:06:21,840
Speaker 1: entire league redraft in the off season, just to mix

1250
01:06:21,880 --> 01:06:25,400
Speaker 1: it up, capitalize on fate fantasy football. It's tied into

1251
01:06:25,480 --> 01:06:29,640
Speaker 1: draft kings as well. You have five year contracts in

1252
01:06:29,720 --> 01:06:33,360
Speaker 1: this new league. They're starting over at the end of

1253
01:06:33,360 --> 01:06:36,680
Speaker 1: those contracts. No matter what, the people become free agents again,

1254
01:06:36,760 --> 01:06:40,360
Speaker 1: you're probably gonna lose that player. You have the seventh

1255
01:06:40,400 --> 01:06:43,720
Speaker 1: pick in the draft. Here's who's available when you pick

1256
01:06:43,760 --> 01:06:47,480
Speaker 1: at quarterback. The best quarterbacks on the board. Derek Carr,

1257
01:06:48,680 --> 01:06:52,960
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan, and Cam Newton. Who do you take? You

1258
01:06:53,000 --> 01:06:55,720
Speaker 1: just get him for five years only. And let's throw

1259
01:06:55,720 --> 01:06:58,920
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers in there too. He's available. That's who I

1260
01:06:59,000 --> 01:07:03,880
Speaker 1: meant to say, five years only starting next season. Get

1261
01:07:03,920 --> 01:07:07,600
Speaker 1: one of those quarterbacks. Someone took Marcus Mariotto already, he's

1262
01:07:07,640 --> 01:07:11,840
Speaker 1: off the board. These are your best options. These are

1263
01:07:11,840 --> 01:07:13,560
Speaker 1: your best options. I don't know what pick it is

1264
01:07:13,560 --> 01:07:17,120
Speaker 1: these I'll go first this time. I think I would

1265
01:07:17,120 --> 01:07:19,320
Speaker 1: take Cam Newton. I know he's a little bit older

1266
01:07:19,360 --> 01:07:20,880
Speaker 1: than these other guys, but he still will be in

1267
01:07:20,880 --> 01:07:22,880
Speaker 1: his prime during those five years, and then I would

1268
01:07:22,920 --> 01:07:25,960
Speaker 1: be the GM that finally finally put some real gifted

1269
01:07:26,000 --> 01:07:29,760
Speaker 1: playmakers around him. Bang, we're winning some lombardies. He's the

1270
01:07:29,800 --> 01:07:31,200
Speaker 1: face of your franchise. You know, I know you had

1271
01:07:31,200 --> 01:07:33,439
Speaker 1: a problem with banner Gate. All all of that come

1272
01:07:33,640 --> 01:07:37,560
Speaker 1: comes to yes, and that shows that despite some issues

1273
01:07:38,320 --> 01:07:42,200
Speaker 1: with Cam Newton and his active antics, his play carries

1274
01:07:42,240 --> 01:07:44,840
Speaker 1: above all and he is a great marketable player. Will

1275
01:07:44,840 --> 01:07:49,280
Speaker 1: not deny that. That's a big part of its Rivers, Ryan, Carr, Cam,

1276
01:07:49,320 --> 01:07:53,600
Speaker 1: they're all there. I'd go Cam too, very tight over

1277
01:07:53,880 --> 01:07:58,000
Speaker 1: over Derek Carr, but much of what Dan said, I

1278
01:07:58,000 --> 01:08:00,760
Speaker 1: think we can. We've seen that Ham Newton can be

1279
01:08:00,760 --> 01:08:03,800
Speaker 1: a franchise quarterback and he's entering the prime of his

1280
01:08:03,880 --> 01:08:07,360
Speaker 1: career five years. Then they're free agents at the end.

1281
01:08:07,400 --> 01:08:10,680
Speaker 1: That's it. Give me Philip Rivers m hmm. Wow, he's

1282
01:08:10,720 --> 01:08:16,439
Speaker 1: got a lot of kids at home. I want to

1283
01:08:16,479 --> 01:08:19,599
Speaker 1: take Cam um, it would be cool, But I think

1284
01:08:19,640 --> 01:08:22,280
Speaker 1: you're a run running a defense team if you've got Cam,

1285
01:08:22,320 --> 01:08:24,559
Speaker 1: I don't think you're winning with a passing attacking Cam Newton.

1286
01:08:26,400 --> 01:08:28,040
Speaker 1: For what he does at the line of scrimmage pre

1287
01:08:28,160 --> 01:08:30,840
Speaker 1: snap and what he does without you take away a

1288
01:08:30,960 --> 01:08:33,599
Speaker 1: ride receiver in the offensive lineman. Every week every quarter,

1289
01:08:34,080 --> 01:08:37,000
Speaker 1: he still puts up number that quarterbacks play until they're

1290
01:08:37,000 --> 01:08:39,160
Speaker 1: forty now, they're playing well later in their career. Now

1291
01:08:39,479 --> 01:08:44,519
Speaker 1: three years I take Rivers five, I'm going Cam. I

1292
01:08:44,520 --> 01:08:48,000
Speaker 1: mean draft a quarter Carr. But maybe I shouldn't have

1293
01:08:48,000 --> 01:08:50,880
Speaker 1: thrown Cam in car was tempting to I would actually

1294
01:08:50,880 --> 01:08:53,640
Speaker 1: have Matt Ryan last on this list. This has been

1295
01:08:53,680 --> 01:08:55,960
Speaker 1: a little bit of a lot of deal mcnifico year

1296
01:08:56,040 --> 01:08:58,880
Speaker 1: from that Ryan to me and that we know who

1297
01:08:58,880 --> 01:09:01,760
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan is. I think it's very good. I think

1298
01:09:01,800 --> 01:09:03,720
Speaker 1: we have done that. He's very good. It's very good,

1299
01:09:03,720 --> 01:09:07,080
Speaker 1: but he's not great. I've always up I don't want

1300
01:09:07,080 --> 01:09:09,400
Speaker 1: a quarterback when he's not even he's not even the

1301
01:09:09,439 --> 01:09:11,880
Speaker 1: best player on his team. That's revealing to me. Julio

1302
01:09:11,960 --> 01:09:14,920
Speaker 1: Jones has always been better than Matt Ryan. So there

1303
01:09:14,920 --> 01:09:18,679
Speaker 1: you go. Nice discussion. That is that caps another game

1304
01:09:18,720 --> 01:09:23,920
Speaker 1: of hit us up with your thoughts on the game,
