34
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 2: and you know it's you know, it's hilarious about this

35
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:12,959
Speaker 2: whole discussion when it comes to the Chargers, Like it's

36
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 2: a discussion that surrounds Jim Harbaugh because people can look

37
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 2: at the Chargers now and say, well, you got Justin Herbert.

38
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 2: He's one of the best quarterbacks in the league. He

39
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 2: got no Like this just confirms what we've thought, or

40
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 2: at least people that aren't haters have thought for several

41
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 2: years now. Coaching matters in the NFL. It just does,

42
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 2: and in fact, good coaching matters the most. And Jim

43
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 2: Harbaugh is a good coach, and it has worked everywhere

44
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 2: he's gone. It worked at Michigan, it worked at Stanford,

45
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 2: he turned around San Diego, it worked with the forty

46
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 2: nine Ers, and now it's working with the Chargers. And

47
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 2: I'm not saying that the Chargers are going to go

48
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 2: on to win a Super Bowl this year. I'm not

49
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 2: saying the Chargers would ever maybe ever win a Super

50
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 2: Bowl with Jim Harbaughs coach there. But the point is

51
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 2: the discussion here in La where we are doing this

52
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 2: show live from the tirak dot com studios, the discussion

53
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 2: around the Chargers was always potential. Yeah, there's a ton

54
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 2: of potential there. They got a ton of talent, but

55
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 2: you know what just always seemed to come up short.

56
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 2: The discussion was always about, yeah, but Brandon Staley, is

57
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 2: he ever going to be able to get the most

58
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 2: out of this guy? I mean, christ Justin Herbert didn't

59
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 2: get his first start in the NFL until a trainer

60
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 2: accidentally stabbed Tyrod Taylor.

61
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 5: He punctioned as lung.

62
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 4: Like.

63
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 2: It was always about potential, this, potential that, and then

64
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 2: you realize, okay, well there's an opportunity to upgrade and

65
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 2: to add a coach to this team who has worked

66
00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 2: and gotten the most out of every place he's ever been, to, NFL, college,

67
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 2: you name it. They make the move, and the conversation

68
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 2: surrounding the Chargers is completely different. You're not worried about dysfunction.

69
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 2: You're not worried about even when they do have injuries.

70
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 2: You're not overly concerned by it like there have been

71
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 2: in years past with the Chargers. If they get into

72
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 2: late game situations, you're not worried about whether or not

73
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 2: Brandon Staley is going to make a ridiculous call or decision.

74
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 2: Like even the ones that didn't burn them, which were

75
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,359
Speaker 2: few and far between, you look back at and you go,

76
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 2: wait what, Like you decide in Cleveland to go for

77
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 2: it on fourth down with under a minute left at

78
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 2: midfield up by two to give the brown and if

79
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 2: not for the Browns missing that kick, like that's another two.

80
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 2: But you don't have any of that discussion when it

81
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 2: comes to Jim Marvaud, no thing, Like there's this feeling

82
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 2: that no matter what, they're going to be okay, no

83
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 2: matter what, And that hasn't been the case here with

84
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 2: this franchise in this organization in years, maybe ever, even

85
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 2: when they did have good coaching, like they had a

86
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 2: really good coach. We're talking like a Hall of Fame

87
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 2: caliber coach. We're talking a guy who's on the short

88
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 2: list of two hundred career wins. Even when they had him,

89
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 2: they fired him after he went fourteen and two. That's

90
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 2: mind boggling. That already shot in. Ieber was fired because

91
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 2: it was, well, it was a disappointing playoff loss, and

92
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,479
Speaker 2: it was okay, well, there was you know, a lot

93
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 2: going on there and that game was a little wild

94
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 2: against the Patriots, and by the way, it was the Patriots.

95
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:54,600
Speaker 2: But now Harbaugh's there, and all of those concerns, all

96
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 2: of the expecting and impending doom that you were so

97
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,159
Speaker 2: used to in this town when it comes.

98
00:05:59,920 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 5: To the Chargers.

99
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 2: Even when they were in San Diego playing at that

100
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:08,039
Speaker 2: outhouse Qualcomm, which is basically a porta John with no

101
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 2: urinal cakes, even when they were there, you always were like,

102
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 2: oh my god, something's gonna go wrong. Okay, there's I mean,

103
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:20,159
Speaker 2: there's gonna be a catastrophic injury, or there's good. With Harbaugh,

104
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 2: everything's kind of cool. The guy will do a postgame

105
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 2: press conference and talk about Justin Herbert being able to

106
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 2: survive in a broken elevator and how it inspired the team.

107
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 2: Justin Herbert's all these weird, quirky things that he said.

108
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 2: All anybody's doing is paying attention to that. And now

109
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 2: you look and you go, oh, well, wait a second.

110
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 2: They're about to be ten and six after they take

111
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 2: care of business here at Foxborough, and then you know,

112
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 2: depending on what's on the line, you know, maybe they'll

113
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 2: play their starters like this is going to be an

114
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 2: eleven win team that presents a problem with whoever they

115
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 2: meet in the first round of the postseason and the

116
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,599
Speaker 2: first round of the playoffs. So if anybody was wondering

117
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 2: whether or not a you know, is coaching that important

118
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 2: in the NFL level, It's all about talent. With this situation,

119
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 2: Harball was the perfect fit, the perfect guy for the

120
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 2: job because all of the stuff in the past nobody

121
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 2: talks about. They're just focused on the fact that they've

122
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 2: got hope now and Jim Harbaugh is here to save

123
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 2: the day and it's already working. Jonas Knox here Fox

124
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 2: Sports Radio, So I was thinking about this. We love football,

125
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 2: right like you and I listening right now having a conversation.

126
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 2: Like if you're driving around in the car, you're just

127
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 2: you know, you got your air pods in. You're just

128
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 2: trying to ignore the screaming downstairs because you know somebody

129
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 2: can't find like the key piece to the toy you

130
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 2: got them three days ago that they've already ruined. Like,

131
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 2: we love football, all right, you got this show on,

132
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 2: you're watching that game. There's some bowl games on. We

133
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 2: love football, specifically the NFL.

134
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 5: We love the NFL.

135
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 2: But I'll be honest with you, the NFL owes us one.

136
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 2: You know what that one is? They owe us a

137
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 2: good game. That's what they owe us. Because the NFL

138
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 2: this week has proceeded to roll out bag of vomit

139
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:30,239
Speaker 2: after bag of vomit after bag of vomit, and we've

140
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 2: just taken it all and been like, sweet, got any

141
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 2: more for us? We are owed a decent game by

142
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:43,199
Speaker 2: the NFL. Now, I love the NFL. You love the NFL.

143
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 2: We all acknowledge that even though you got listen, Lebron

144
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 2: James is talking to Christmas is our day? Okay, Okay,

145
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 2: you're right. You know what about that extra twenty million

146
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,959
Speaker 2: viewers in all, but who cares. Don't don't get caught

147
00:08:55,000 --> 00:09:00,679
Speaker 2: up in the numbers. Like we love football, and we thought, man,

148
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 2: what if there was a way to where the NFL

149
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 2: could be like almost every single day? And then you

150
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 2: start to look around and you go, well, that was

151
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 2: kind of like this week. You had Monday Night. You know,

152
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,839
Speaker 2: Monday Night was there? You had that one that was

153
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 2: going on and that was cool and all, and it

154
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 2: was a holiday week and you're like, all right, so listen,

155
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 2: we got a game on Monday night. Big deal. We

156
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 2: always have a game on Monday night. Okay, what about

157
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 2: two on Wednesday? What about one on Thursday? What about

158
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,319
Speaker 2: three on Saturday? What about more tomorrow? What about another

159
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 2: one on Monday? That's a lot. I don't know if

160
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 2: I can recall the last time we've had that much

161
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 2: NFL and a short span of time, maybe during COVID.

162
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 2: I have no idea. I think I was too busy

163
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 2: listening to lies being told by people about having to

164
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 2: wipe down your groceries when you bring them home. But

165
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:54,680
Speaker 2: the point is that's a lot of football. The problem

166
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 2: is it's been a lot of bad football, Like find

167
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 2: me the good game that we've seen during this inundated

168
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 2: NFL schedule we've gotten during the holidays. Find me the

169
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 2: good game please, Packers Saints. Awful football game New Orleans stinks.

170
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:21,599
Speaker 2: That game wasn't competitive. The Christmas games, those games were competitive,

171
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 2: great performances, fun performances. MVP worthy performed. Got it not competitive?

172
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 2: Thursday Night football? Good God literally set back the NFL

173
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 2: thirty years easy, to the point to where Al Michaels

174
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 2: made the tired joke of yeah, I believe there was

175
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 2: a White Sox Mariners game that was scored six '

176
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 2: three and he was right. It we've got and then

177
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 2: just to start off, we've got a game that opened

178
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 2: up seventeen to nothing. New England has scored.

179
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:06,680
Speaker 5: They've tried.

180
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 2: But the point is, while we sit here and clamor

181
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,680
Speaker 2: for more NFL and the NFL will never get tired.

182
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, Look, it's not so much a complaint,

183
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 2: it's just a request. But it is a request that

184
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 2: we have earned. We have been fed garbage NFL games

185
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:29,680
Speaker 2: for several days in a row during an overloaded NFL schedule.

186
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 2: To start out the week, at least give us a

187
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 2: decent game. That's all we're asking. Give us a couple

188
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 2: of decent games Lions Niners on Monday Night football is

189
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 2: probably going to be a good game. I have no

190
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 2: idea how this game is going to finish up between

191
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:44,679
Speaker 2: the Chargers and the Patriots. It's probably going to be

192
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 2: a wipeout. But Denver, since he come on, can you

193
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 2: help us out a little bit here? We're not asking

194
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 2: for a lot, We're just asking for a little because

195
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,680
Speaker 2: we've gotten a lot of bad NFL games lately. And

196
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 2: while we appreciate having the NFL and we're gonna miss

197
00:11:58,280 --> 00:11:59,559
Speaker 2: it when it's gone in about a month and a

198
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 2: half or two two months, it hasn't exactly been spectacular

199
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 2: football that we've gotten over the past several weeks. Jonas

200
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,560
Speaker 2: Knox here Fox Sports Radio at the Jonas Knox on

201
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 2: X at the Jonas Knox on X where, by the way,

202
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 2: the positive feedback has already come in. I have reached

203
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:22,199
Speaker 2: out via X and wished a police Navidad to one

204
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,839

Speaker 2: You can go check that out for yourself. If you

206

207
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 2: loud if you don't. But I wouldn't do it in

208
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 2: front of children, so that would just be my recommendation,

209
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 2: do you But you can't check that out at the

Speaker 2: Somebody has managed to pull it off in the most

228

00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,560

00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 2: social media at the Jonas Knocks on x where somebody

244
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 2: said all sorts of raunchy things to me in Spanish.

245
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 2: I only know like exactly what he said because a

246
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 2: the in laws are Mexican and BFC narcos, so I

247
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 2: know exactly what was being said. So you can go

248
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 2: check that out for yourself if you'd like to. Also,

249
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 2: I wanted to address this t longtime loyal listener to

250
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 2: the program and Fox Sports Radio in general reached out

251
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 2: and asked if I've already taken down the Christmas lights

252
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 2: and if that happened on December twenty sixth per tradition

253
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 2: that I've talked about on the show. Oh yeah, like

254
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 2: Santa's fat ass wasn't even out the window before the

255
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 2: lights were down.

256
00:14:57,840 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 5: Up and vanished like a fart in the wind.

257
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 2: Wife and son weren't even awake on the twenty sixth,

258
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 2: and I had everything down, boxed up and gone, swept up,

259
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 2: everything gone, and we had a lot everything gone. So yeah, no, no, no, no,

260
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 2: this isn't one of those keep it up until February

261
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 2: or keep it up until the middle of January. Now,

262
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 2: all the inside stuff, my wife loves Christmas, so she'll

263
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 2: hold on to that for as long as possible. She'll have,

264
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 2: you know, everything done because it's got to be on

265
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 2: this certain day in January. And it's got it like

266
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 2: all of the I mean, it's it. And also there's

267
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 2: way too much of it, so it takes her a

268
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 2: long time to have to put it all away. But

269
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 2: as far as the outside stuff goes, my jurisdiction gone

270
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 2: like it never existed, literally gone. And it's so fast

271
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 2: that my wife and son don't even know how to

272
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 2: respond to it, like it's not even like they're and

273
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 2: they catch me in the middle of taking it down

274
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 2: and it's a slow process, and it's like, hey, are

275
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 2: you sure about that?

276
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 5: I mean, you got he loves the lights. No, you

277
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 5: don't have a say in the matter. It's over. It

278
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 5: is over.

279
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 2: December twenty sixth gone, just like the Christmas music being

280
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 2: played on this network. The second the twenty six hit,

281
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 2: it's over. Same with the lights at the house. Strong

282
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 2: belief in that and conviction, right, Jonas Knox here Fox

283
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 2: Sports Radio. Now they I would like, I don't want

284
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 2: to defend a position group, all right, this is not

285
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 2: necessarily a defense of a position group. But I think

286
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 2: now we're starting to understand that it's not just isolated

287
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 2: to a position group. Like there's this term that gets

288
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 2: thrown around diva wide receiver, and a lot of it

289
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 2: is warranted because you will see wide receivers act in

290
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 2: a way that you go, oh, it's just a wide receiver.

291
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 2: I mean, we'd like it, you know, we know that

292
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 2: we've we've heard all the stories, you've heard all the

293
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 2: different wide receivers, the issues they bat or whatever, and

294
00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 2: it's like, well, that's just how wide receivers are.

295
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 5: You know, they're away from the football, they're.

296
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 2: On an island, which you know, they got a me

297
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:08,399
Speaker 2: first personality. So that's why we celebrate non diva wide

298
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:14,400
Speaker 2: receivers whenever they come along. Perfect example, Mike Evans, Mike Evans,

299
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 2: no diva, no issues, no like the only issue he's

300
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,440
Speaker 2: ever had is when he throws down with Marshaun Latimer

301
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 2: when he was with the Saints. That's it, like, no issue,

302
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:26,880
Speaker 2: like you just like and it's just high level production

303
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 2: every single year. It doesn't matter if it's Jamis Winston

304
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 2: throwing to him, Tom Brady, Baker Mayfield, doesn't matter. Guys

305
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:36,360
Speaker 2: just gonna produce. You know what you get, No drama,

306
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 2: no bs, nothing, just a good dude, great player. You

307
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 2: know what you get. And then you'll get other wide

308
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 2: receivers like right, need listen. You know, George Pickens is

309
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:50,199
Speaker 2: in the news because you know, sometimes he wants to

310
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 2: run the route and then sometimes he's like in the

311
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,680
Speaker 2: middle of the route, not into this, just not not

312
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:59,879
Speaker 2: my thing. So like you hear that, and you know,

313
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:03,880
Speaker 2: like some guys maybe will unfairly get labeled diva widers.

314
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 2: But the point is when this stuff comes along and

315
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:13,880
Speaker 2: you see sort of, hey, this guy, you know, it's

316
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:15,680
Speaker 2: not working out here, but he ends up somewhere else.

317
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:17,239
Speaker 2: You look at the production and you go, well, why

318
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 2: would you want to move on from them? Well, it's

319
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 2: the behavior. It's not the numbers. The production is there

320
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 2: on the field, it's the other stuff off the field.

321
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 2: Antonio Brown all that you know, believe it or not,

322
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 2: that is not just a wide receiver thing. Apparently, to

323
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 2: where the production on the field is now outweighed by

324
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:45,639
Speaker 2: the other stuff off the field. Apparently that's not just

325
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 2: a wide receiver. And in fact, apparently that's not even

326
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 2: just a player thing. It's a coach thing too. I

327
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 2: have been on record as saying one of the more

328
00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 2: bizarre things that we have going into the season, that

329
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 2: if you followed along last year, or one of the

330
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,199
Speaker 2: most bizarre things, is the fact that Nick Sirianni was

331
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 2: on the hot seat. I didn't get it.

332
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 5: It doesn't make any sense to me.

333
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 2: All the guy does is win games, like you can

334
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:21,880
Speaker 2: go back to when he got to Philly. First off,

335
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 2: they've gotten to the playoffs every year, they went to

336
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 2: a super Bowl, nearly won it. He's twenty six games

337
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 2: over five hundred. We're talking like high level. You don't

338
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 2: see this almost ever, if ever, in the NFL. When

339
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:39,160
Speaker 2: it comes to the first four years as a coach

340
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 2: with the team, you go back to twenty twenty one,

341
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 2: there's two teams that have more wins than the Eagles,

342
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:54,120
Speaker 2: Buffalo and Kansas City. Like you don't hear anything about

343
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 2: Andy Reid's job security, You don't hear anything about Sean McDermott.

344
00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 5: You wondered, ay, what's this year? Nothing?

345
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,400
Speaker 2: Well, you don't hear anything. But with Sirianni you do.

346
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 2: And then you start to realize, Oh, it's kind of

347
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 2: like being.

348
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:09,879
Speaker 5: A diva wide receiver.

349
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 2: Like you're willing to put up with all the stuff

350
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 2: off the field as long as the production is there

351
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 2: on the field. But the second there's a slip up,

352
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:27,239
Speaker 2: gotta go, Like his latest altercation with Zach Ertz that

353
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 2: both of them are downplaying afterwards, you look at and

354
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 2: you go, where else does that happen? And where else

355
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:37,120
Speaker 2: does that happen? When you've had other stuff happen this year,

356
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:42,919
Speaker 2: like yelling at the fans or the reported issues with

357
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 2: Jalen Hurtz that may or may not be there the

358
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:50,440
Speaker 2: other stuff that went on last year, he was yelling at,

359
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:54,879
Speaker 2: you know, obscenities across the sideline all the then you

360
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:58,879
Speaker 2: start to realize, oh, so that's why his name was

361
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 2: even floated out there as far as potentially being on

362
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 2: the hook and being on the outs, and up until

363
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 2: like maybe three four weeks ago, I thought to myself, man,

364
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:14,920
Speaker 2: there's no chance, no way that they move off from him.

365
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 2: They're going to the playoffs. They're probably gonna win a

366
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 2: game in the playoffs, at least you would assume. And

367
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,400
Speaker 2: with all the injuries Detroit Scott, if Jalen Hurts comes

368
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:26,880
Speaker 2: back and he's healthy, like I mean, I'm looking at it, going, man,

369
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 2: Philly's got a real shot to go to another super Bowl.

370
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:34,159
Speaker 2: And now with the latest issue that came out and

371
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,400
Speaker 2: you start to pile that on to all the other

372
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,440
Speaker 2: stuff that goes on there with the team and AJ

373
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 2: Brown and Jalen Hurts, he just starts to look at

374
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 2: it and go, oh so, that's why that's why all

375
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 2: of this stuff is even a conversation like, why would you,

376
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 2: if you were the Pittsburgh Steelers, ever move off of

377
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 2: Antonio Brown?

378
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,479
Speaker 5: Why why would you have ever done it.

379
00:21:56,760 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 2: Antonio Brown for a time was the best, best wide receiver,

380
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,159
Speaker 2: one of the best players on the planet for a time.

381
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 2: We're talking Hall of Fame guy was on his way

382
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 2: to the Hall of Fame. Why'd you move on? Oh?

383
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:13,959
Speaker 1: Got it?

384
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:15,160
Speaker 5: Now?

385
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 2: What he's done, you know, post career and CTESPN. You know,

386
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 2: he also had had an award show yesterday on social media,

387
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,159
Speaker 2: which you know, I'm a little disappointed. I wasn't up for.

388
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:28,119
Speaker 2: I was really hoping to win that award. You can

389
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,160
Speaker 2: go look at it yourself. Was really hoping I could

390
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:33,679
Speaker 2: be at least nominated for the award. But the point is,

391
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 2: you needed all the other intel off the field to

392
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,719
Speaker 2: start to come out before you went, oh yeah, okay,

393
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 2: we get it. Like it's now gotten to that. And

394
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 2: I wonder if the Eagles are at the point now

395
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 2: it's where they're like, you know what, this now supersedes

396
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 2: all of the wins, Like now he said, like who

397
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 2: has ever had an altercation with zach Ertz?

398
00:22:58,520 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 5: Like who's ever had an issue with s?

399
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 2: And Nick Sirianni had one. It had to be separated

400
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 2: post game? Why like why are you yelling at the fans?

401
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 2: Like why is any of this stuff happened, and then

402
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 2: you realize, no, that's just him. Now I love it.

403
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 2: I think it's great. Like I love the fact that

404
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 2: Nick Sirianni's like this because it's entertaining as hell. But

405
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 2: I can understand why the Eagles maybe after the season

406
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 2: would be like, hey, dude, like we're we've really kind

407
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 2: of loaded, Like this roster is really good. We like,

408
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 2: we don't need all of it. We just need to,

409
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:45,160
Speaker 2: like somebody to stabilize and calm things down. And when

410
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 2: all the other stuff starts to come out, like the

411
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 2: hurts and aj Brown, the awkward thing, Brandon Graham speaking

412
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 2: on it publicly and them trying to go afterwards, Oh no,

413
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:57,680
Speaker 2: it's not you just start to wonder if maybe players

414
00:23:57,720 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 2: there feel like, well, we can do whatever the hell

415
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 2: he wants. Why can I? Why not? Like Jalen Carter

416
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 2: bashes some guy in the side of the head and

417
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 2: Nick Sirianni's the first guy to go over there and

418
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:13,440
Speaker 2: talk to him, and him and the defensive line coach

419
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 2: are like having words, and it's like the d line

420
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:17,919
Speaker 2: coach is probably like, dude, you know what you do?

421
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:23,359
Speaker 2: Like You're like, yeah, it's a teachable moment, So I

422
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:28,439
Speaker 2: now understand why the conversation is as loud as it

423
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,680
Speaker 2: is like, and now I get it because if it's

424
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 2: not about production, it can't be about wins. Because all

425
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:38,680
Speaker 2: he does is win games at like almost a record pace.

426
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,879
Speaker 2: It can't be about wins. So it's got to be

427
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 2: about something else. And the conversation sounds really similar to

428
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 2: a DIVA wide receiver or a DIVA player, or a

429
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 2: player whose production is at such a high level that

430
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:55,879
Speaker 2: makes you wonder why would you ever want to move

431
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 2: on from him? And then you find out, oh, it's

432
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,680
Speaker 2: the other stuff that led to the decision. Jonas Knox

Speaker 6: with the cap strain. Dolphins downgrade to a Tonguobai loa

464
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:32,919
Speaker 6: to doubtful with the hip injury if he can't go

465
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:36,560

Speaker 6: On this Joe Flacco gets to start for the Giants.

468
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 6: Tony Pollard, Titans running back, didn't travel to the team

469
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 6: with the team because he has the flu. His status

470
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 6: is in jeopardy for Sunday's game of Jacksonville. He's also

471
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 6: has an ankle injury that he had on the injury report.

472
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 6: Jalen Hurts didn't clear concussion protocol and enough time to

473
00:26:57,600 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 6: play it against Dallas on Sunday. Kenny Pickett's going to

474
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 6: be your guy for that you're talking about. Antonio Brown

475
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 6: likely would have been in Hall of Famer, and honestly,

476
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 6: I still think he's got a pretty good shot. We

00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 2: for the second to last time this year. It is

511
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 2: our TGFG Game of the Week, and this might be

512
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 2: the easiest of the entire year.

513
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 1: Titans at Jaguars.

514
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 2: Oh baby, Look, when you think TGFG Game of the Week,

515
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 2: you think of, all right, what can we get here?

516
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 5: Can we get like a couple.

517
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 2: Of teams that are bottom feeders in the league, teams

518
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 2: that are like you know, not good at all and

519
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:23,960
Speaker 2: also not all that entertaining, And step right up in

520
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 2: week seventeen to the AFC South Donnybrook, which is the

521
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 2: Titans and the Jags six and twenty four a combined

522
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 2: record between these two and that'll be going on at

523
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 2: Trevor Banks stadium there in Jacksonville. The Titans and Jaguars,

524
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:43,719
Speaker 2: both awful football teams. You know, it's hilarious though. This

525
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 2: is my favorite part about Tennessee. So report comes out

526
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 2: from Tom Pellisera which is the Titans are expected to

527
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 2: bring back Brian Callahan as head coach. Why would they

528
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 2: fire him? Got like you just walked away from Mike Rable,

529
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 2: Who's the hottest coaching candidate on the market. Everybody misses him.

530
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 2: He was the guy, the face of the franchise. You

531
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 2: bring in Brian Callahan, you gotta give him at least

532
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 2: a year, like you gotta give me at least a

533
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 2: year to see whether or not they can find a quarterback,

534
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 2: whether or not they can draft a quarterback, depending on

535
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 2: where they pick in the draft. But nonetheless, all that

536
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 2: being said, it does lead you up to this week,

537
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 2: seventeen Sunday, one pm Eastern time. They're in Jacksonville to

538

552
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 2: good thing in the NFL, but there's like a key

553
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 2: ingredient that's missing, you know what I mean, Like there's

554
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 2: something that's really lacking about this one thing other than

555
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 2: that it's great. Other than that is great. We will

556
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:33,360

Speaker 3: There are so many stories in the world of sports,

571
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:15,120

Speaker 3: Here's some of the big stories from the last week.

575
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 3: But Jonas, the real question is do you care?

576
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 2: And for that we turn it over to a man

577
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 2: he must have pissed somebody off because he's working this

578
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:32,840
Speaker 2: show again, the one and only Bo Benson Bow. What's happening?

00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:38,440
Speaker 2: That's right.

582
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 7: I want to start with probably the most important story

583
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 7: in sports over the last weeks or so. Chess great

584
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 7: hand icon Magnus Carlson quit the World Rapid World Rapid

585
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 7: and Blitz Chess Championships in New York on Friday after

586
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 7: the governing body of Chess barred him from participating in

587
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 7: a round of the tournament for the horrific crime of

588
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:02,040
Speaker 7: wearing jeans. Oh Jonas, do you care?

589
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, I'm good for you a stand you know

590
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 2: what I mean? Like, look, I wear jeans, Like, who

591
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 2: doesn't like a pair of jeans? Like, it doesn't matter

592
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 2: if they're blue jeans, jeans with holes in them, black jeans,

593
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 2: like whatever you need, Like, listen, they're good for everything.

594
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:19,600
Speaker 2: You can wear them with a sport code, you can

595
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 2: wear them with a T shirt. You can wear them

596
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 2: with like really messed up holy shirt that's you know,

597
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 2: like some old band's T shirt. You got a nice

598
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 2: pair of shoes, Like, listen, who does like a pair

599
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 2: of jeans? And if this guy wants to be a

600
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:36,480
Speaker 2: little bit more relatable, like that's the problem. Look, I'm

601
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 2: never I'm not really a chess guy. I'm more of

602
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 2: a Checkers Connect four type of guy myself personally. Not

603
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 2: that that's surprising here, but I do find it kind

604
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 2: of odd that anybody would find entertainment and like, hey,

605
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 2: what do you want to do today? Hey, let's go

606
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 2: down to the park and play chess. You ever seen

607
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 2: those guys sitting around playing chess at the park? Wait?

608
00:33:56,200 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 2: What dude, Like, why do you play with ball at

609
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 2: least like go play, go play corn hole, play some

610
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 2: beer pong, like like be like like have like a personality.

611
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:10,640
Speaker 2: So the fact that this guy tried to add a

612
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:14,279
Speaker 2: little personality to a chess tournament and stood on his

613
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 2: beliefs and his conviction, I'm happy for him.

614
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:20,240
Speaker 7: Next Rams running back. Former Rams running back Eric Dickerson

615
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:22,120
Speaker 7: told the La Times this week that he does not

616
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:25,239
Speaker 7: want to see Eagles running back Saquon Barkley break his

617
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:26,840
Speaker 7: single season rushing yarded record.

618
00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:29,280
Speaker 2: Jonas, do you care, Yeah, I cant. It's awesome.

619
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:29,680
Speaker 1: I love it.

620
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 4: I love it.

621
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:32,400
Speaker 2: I love Eric Dickerson. You know, we have an opportunity

622
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 2: to talk with Eric Dickerson a couple of times throughout

623
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:36,279
Speaker 2: the course of the year.

624
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:36,560
Speaker 1: Whatever.

625
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:39,880
Speaker 2: I'm filling in on the blowtorch A five seventy LA Sports,

626
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 2: and Eric Dickerson's great, Like he will he is not like,

627
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:48,239
Speaker 2: not ashamed, he will be brutally honest. Like he was

628
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 2: part of the reason why the falling out with Jeff

629
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:53,239
Speaker 2: Fisher and the Rams started to happen because he was like, yeah, listen,

630
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:55,320
Speaker 2: I wanted tickets. Jeff Fisher wouldn't hook me up with

631
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:58,440
Speaker 2: some good tickets so and went public and complained about it.

632
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:00,680
Speaker 2: He's going to call it as it is, and that's

633
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 2: his record that if he wants to hold on to

634
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 2: it for as long as he can, good for him.

635
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:07,240
Speaker 7: Next after being ruled out of the College fotball playoff,

636
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 7: Georgia quarterback Carson Beck has declared for the NFL draft.

637
00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:11,479
Speaker 2: Jonas, do you care?

638
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:12,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, not really.

639
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:15,319
Speaker 2: I'll be honest with you, because, look, I don't know

640
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:17,879
Speaker 2: where he's going to fall in line when it comes

641
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:19,360
Speaker 2: to the draft. Like you know, there's going to be

642
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:21,439
Speaker 2: a run on quarterbacks. I was talking to Brady Quinn

643
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:24,120
Speaker 2: about it. He thinks maybe he'll be the second quarterback

644
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:27,400
Speaker 2: off the board. Cam Ward's going to be an interesting breakdown.

645
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:30,719
Speaker 2: But as far as what's next for him at the

646
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 2: next level, I think we've already seen it doesn't matter

647
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:35,799
Speaker 2: where you get drafted in the NFL. If you don't

648
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:39,400
Speaker 2: have a structure around you, you can't succeed as a QB. Next.

649
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:43,279
Speaker 7: Sixer center Joel Embiid was fined seventy five grand by

650
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 7: the NBA for making obscene gestures during the Sixers win

651
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 7: over these Celtics on Christmas Day, Jonas, do you care.

652
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:53,279
Speaker 2: No, I don't care about this. I mean, well, look,

653
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 2: I'll say this though, it's better than the punishment, the

654
00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:00,399
Speaker 2: flag and potential fine that Travis Kelsey got for dunk

655
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:02,600
Speaker 2: in a bat for Duncan and football in honor of

656
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 2: Tony Gonzalez. Like that I didn't understand. Like, he passes

657
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:11,560
Speaker 2: Tony Gonzalez, he jumps up and dunks a football, and

658
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:14,320
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, it's like, oh, listen, we've got.

659
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 5: To punish this guy.

660
00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:19,080
Speaker 2: Have you seen some of the other celebrations in the

661
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 2: NFL throughout the course of the year. I mean, Jamiir

662
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 2: Gibbs against the Bears, scored, went to the goal post,

663
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:29,800
Speaker 2: was grinding on the goalpost with two other teammates around

664
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:33,239
Speaker 2: him dancing. It got called back for a holding penalty.

665
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 2: Then he scored again and did the exact same grinding

666
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 2: celebration with two teammates celebrating around him, and nobody thought

667
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:43,319
Speaker 2: anything of it. They're just like, oh, whatever, listen, you know,

668
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:46,759
Speaker 2: who's ever grinded on a goalpost before? What's wrong with that?

669
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:50,360
Speaker 2: So some of these punishments what they decide. And also

670
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 2: like people are like, oh, you know, he brandished a firearm?

671
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:55,680
Speaker 2: Did he really though, I mean, did he really like

672
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:57,720
Speaker 2: you ever looked at a buddy of year say, hey, baby,

673
00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:00,160
Speaker 2: you and me today and you do you like a

674
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:02,480
Speaker 2: little finger gun at him? Is that brandishing a firearm?

675
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 2: Are you just trying to be cheesy? I don't get it.

676
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 7: Next, Nuggets coach Mike Malone told the media that the

677
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:10,600
Speaker 7: Kings showed no class in how they handled the firing

678
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 7: of coach Mike Brown. Yesterday, Jonas, do you care? Yeah,

679
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:18,919
Speaker 7: I actually do, because you got screwed. So apparently Mike Brown.

680
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:21,879
Speaker 7: They're in the midst of a losing street. The Sacramento Kings.

681
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:23,680
Speaker 7: By the way, the Sacramento Kings are an NBA team

682
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:24,840
Speaker 7: For people that aren't familiar.

683
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 5: NBA is a basketball league.

684
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:29,000
Speaker 2: They shoot a round ball, goes into a hoop there

685
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 2: that's on both sides of the court. It's got a

686
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:33,040
Speaker 2: net on the bottom of the basketball. You probably haven't

687
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:34,799
Speaker 2: seen it based on the numbers, you probably haven't watched

688
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:38,200
Speaker 2: much of it this year. But so Mike Brown's coaching

689
00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 2: the Kings. They've been disappointing this year. I think they're

690
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:47,439
Speaker 2: like five games under five hundred. And he goes to practice,

691
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:51,759
Speaker 2: he has a media session he's in his car on

692
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:55,080
Speaker 2: his way to the airport to fly out with them

693
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:57,960
Speaker 2: on a road trip and then gets called and they

694
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:02,759
Speaker 2: tell them that you're fired, Like wait what? And so

695
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:08,160
Speaker 2: not only is Mike Malone burying the Sacramento Kings for

696
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 2: the decision, Steve Kerrz chimed in on it, obviously because

697
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:14,400
Speaker 2: that's somebody who coached with him in Golden State for

698
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 2: a long time. Tom Thibodeau has talked about it like

699
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:21,160
Speaker 2: he's gotten completely screwed by the Sacramento Kings. Then it's

700
00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:23,440
Speaker 2: not the first time. I mean, look what happened to

701
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:27,320
Speaker 2: Darvin Ham and the Lakers, Like they win this quote

702
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 2: unquote in Season Cup. In the next year, it's like

703
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:33,200
Speaker 2: he's got to go. Like the NBA, the players run

704
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:35,800
Speaker 2: that league, and if a player doesn't like you or

705
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 2: they're not getting along with you, you're on the hook

706
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:40,120
Speaker 2: and you're gonna be gone. And that's the way it goes.

707
00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:42,719
Speaker 2: And coaches around the NBA realize it and now they're

708
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:44,920
Speaker 2: speak it out about it. So good for them. Next.

709
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:48,400
Speaker 7: The much famed New Jersey drone sightings have continued to

710
00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:51,359
Speaker 7: fall as the holidays come to a close. Following an

711
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:54,680
Speaker 7: early December surge. I'm assuming there might be less flights

712
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 7: in the air. I don't know, Jonas. Do you care?

713
00:38:57,400 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 1: Yeah?

714
00:38:57,640 --> 00:38:59,399
Speaker 5: I care. Let me tell you why.

715
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:02,520
Speaker 2: Look, I have no idea whether or not it's a

716
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:05,320
Speaker 2: drone looking for nuke parts, or whether or not it's

717
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:08,000
Speaker 2: you know, like some kid who got a drone for

718
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:11,200
Speaker 2: you know, his bot mitz fun. He's like firing it

719
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:13,239
Speaker 2: up into the sky to like look at people, or

720
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:14,359
Speaker 2: maybe he's like a peeping tom.

721
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:15,160
Speaker 5: Like I have no.

722
00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 2: Idea, like what the hell these things are for. But

723
00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:21,799
Speaker 2: the point is it does open up conversation. Like there's

724
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:25,400
Speaker 2: a new UFO documentary from James Fox. It's out on Amazon.

725
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:27,880
Speaker 2: I watched it last night. There's, I mean, just a

726
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:31,920
Speaker 2: great encounter with the UFO. So at least it adds

727
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:34,879
Speaker 2: a little spice here. And let's be truthful, it's not

728
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 2: like the NFL has given us a lot of good

729
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:39,799
Speaker 2: content to break down this week. So if we can

730
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:42,279
Speaker 2: talk a little bit more about drones, if we can

731
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:45,200
Speaker 2: work in a UFO siding or two, if we can

732
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:48,279
Speaker 2: confuse Santa Sleigh with some sort of a you know,

733
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 2: an unidentified or aerial phenomenon, a UAP or whatever, they're

734
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:53,799
Speaker 2: calling them now because they come out of the water.

735
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 2: Sometimes at least it adds some interesting content to what's

736
00:39:57,560 --> 00:40:01,359
Speaker 2: been a really mediocre NFL week. So let the drones fly.

737
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:03,680
Speaker 2: As long as they don't peep on me. I'm good

738
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:07,840
Speaker 2: with everything involved. You know, there's something missing from a

739
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:11,400
Speaker 2: place in the NFL, and all they got to do

740
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:14,520
Speaker 2: is look across town and they can see it like

741
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 2: it's very obvious. We will get into that for you

742
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:18,359
Speaker 2: coming up here in just a couple of moments from now.

743

Speaker 2: and over ten thousand recommended installers. Tire rack dot Com,

754
00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:54,360
Speaker 2: The way tire buying should be. So I was opening

755
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:57,719
Speaker 2: up the show talking about the situation with the LA Chargers, who,

756
00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:01,880
Speaker 2: by the way, the chart Argers do have a twenty

757
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:06,120
Speaker 2: seven to seven lead over the New England Patriots. Another

758
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:10,000
Speaker 2: touchdown for lab mcconkeye. He's got two on the day

759
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:12,840
Speaker 2: from Justin Herbert. So the Chargers are running away with

760
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:16,080
Speaker 2: this game. As expected, the Patriots are not a very

761
00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:20,279
Speaker 2: good football team, and so the situation there looks just

762
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:22,560
Speaker 2: about how we all expected it to be. Was the

763
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:25,840
Speaker 2: Chargers going into Foxborough taking care of businesses. The Patriots

764
00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:29,600
Speaker 2: are just limping towards the finish line. So that said,

765
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 2: you look at the decision by the LA Chargers to

766
00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:39,080
Speaker 2: bring in Jim Harbaugh, and my point earlier was look

767
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:42,239
Speaker 2: coaching matters, and yeah, he's got a quarterback there, and

768
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:44,960
Speaker 2: there's some talent there, but it's not like everybody came

769
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 2: into the season going, man oh man, the Chargers have

770
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:50,320
Speaker 2: the most talented team in the league. You haven't years past.

771
00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:54,000
Speaker 2: But the difference is they have a coach who you

772
00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:55,960
Speaker 2: look at and go, man, this is going to work,

773
00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:59,480
Speaker 2: because it's worked everywhere he's gone. And what's so funny

774
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:04,919
Speaker 2: about that is that this was like a coach who

775
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:09,600
Speaker 2: wanted to be elsewhere, believe it or not, Like this

776
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:15,680
Speaker 2: coach had like two preferred places Jim Harbaugh did. Like

777
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:18,440
Speaker 2: he did two places like he wanted to go to,

778
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:22,440
Speaker 2: like he preferred to go to, you know, like one

779
00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:25,879
Speaker 2: of them was the Raiders and you know they went

780
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:28,600
Speaker 2: with Antonio Peers because you know, the players there really

781
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:31,240
Speaker 2: liked him and all that. And then the other one

782
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:35,759
Speaker 2: was last year he reached out and was interested in

783
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:40,919
Speaker 2: the Bears head coaching job. Jim Harbaugh. You know that guy,

784
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:45,239
Speaker 2: this guy who like has changed the optimism with the

785
00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:48,040
Speaker 2: Chargers unlike we've seen in a long time. There.

786
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:51,080
Speaker 5: Like he wanted to be in Chicago because that was

787
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:52,080
Speaker 5: the team that drafted him.

788
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:54,080
Speaker 2: He played for the Bears for a long time and

789
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:56,400
Speaker 2: you know, like he's still very fond of that and

790
00:42:57,040 --> 00:42:59,560
Speaker 2: he wanted to be there. But the Bears were, like

791
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:01,479
Speaker 2: Kevin Warren said, Nan.

792
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:02,400
Speaker 5: And I, We're not interested.

793
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:05,239
Speaker 2: We're not We're you know, we're just gonna we're gonna

794
00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:07,359
Speaker 2: go with Matt Eberflus again this year. We're gonna give

795
00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:10,759
Speaker 2: him a chance. All good, listen, all good, gonna give

796
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:13,080
Speaker 2: him a chance. And then after he gets fired, then

797
00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:16,400
Speaker 2: we're gonna turn the keys over to an offensive coordinator

798
00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:20,719
Speaker 2: passing game coordinator who just became the offensive coordinator because

799
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:25,000
Speaker 2: we've already fired the offensive coordinator. And as you've seen

800
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:28,239
Speaker 2: how that's all played out, like you've seen it. And

801
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:29,959
Speaker 2: you know what's so funny about this, I was thinking

802
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:37,280
Speaker 2: about it. The Bears are like the Cubs without Wrigley Field,

803
00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:45,320
Speaker 2: which without Wrigley Field, the Cubs are just an underwhelming,

804
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:50,040
Speaker 2: historically bad franchise.

805
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:52,120
Speaker 5: Who's won one.

806
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:56,840
Speaker 2: World Series that's gonna keep them afloat and keep everybody

807
00:43:57,000 --> 00:44:01,200
Speaker 2: into the team for decades. Upon deck aides, and it

808
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:04,319
Speaker 2: kind of sounds similar because the Bears have been living

809
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:08,279
Speaker 2: off the eighty five season for ever now ever since then,

810
00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:13,160
Speaker 2: it's almost like, hey, that's good. That'll that'll just carry,

811
00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:15,640
Speaker 2: that'll carry the optimism, that'll carry like everything we look

812
00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:17,520
Speaker 2: back on this and that, And I've talked about it before.

813
00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:20,440
Speaker 2: Since that eighty five season, they've got six playoff wins.

814
00:44:22,040 --> 00:44:25,520
Speaker 2: Like they've been bad, they've had some good teams, Like

815
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:27,800
Speaker 2: they've had some really good players. They've listened in the

816
00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:30,719
Speaker 2: two thousands, they had some really good players. Devin Hester

817
00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:32,720
Speaker 2: is a Hall of Famer, er Lackers, a Hall of Famer,

818
00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:35,359
Speaker 2: Olden Krutz, borderline Hall of Famer. Like they've had really

819
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:37,600
Speaker 2: really good players, like good team Lovey Smith was a

820
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:39,640
Speaker 2: good coach. You know what they did after he went

821
00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:43,759
Speaker 2: ten and six one year he fired him. Yeah, you know,

822
00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:50,719
Speaker 2: why not. But it's literally the Cubs, but without like

823
00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:56,000
Speaker 2: the awesome venue that they play at. It's like a

824
00:44:56,040 --> 00:45:02,280
Speaker 2: restaurant that's got mediocre food, but there's something else about

825
00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:05,520
Speaker 2: the restaurant that you go to be a part of.

826
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:08,120
Speaker 2: Like I don't want to name the place, but there's

827
00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:14,040
Speaker 2: this place in town. It's an Italian place, and the

828
00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:18,400
Speaker 2: food's like, you know not, I mean it's okay, Like

829
00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:22,560
Speaker 2: you order chicken palm and like, you know, you're hoping

830
00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:26,720
Speaker 2: that it's not burnt, Like the sauce isn't all that flavorful,

831
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:29,719
Speaker 2: Like you know, occasionally you'll get an espresso at the

832
00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:31,520
Speaker 2: end of the meal. Maybe it's hop maybe it's not.

833
00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:35,880
Speaker 2: You know, you're just hoping there's you know, enough caffeine

834
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:38,000
Speaker 2: in it to like overcome the food coming. But like

835
00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:41,640
Speaker 2: the point is, like you go to this place and

836
00:45:42,120 --> 00:45:44,840
Speaker 2: the venue feels festive.

837
00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:47,359
Speaker 5: The waiters sing.

838
00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:51,919
Speaker 2: To you, like as you're waiting for your meal, they'll

839
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:55,440
Speaker 2: just start singing opera and they're really really good, Like

840
00:45:55,480 --> 00:45:59,520
Speaker 2: they're singing Italian opera. Like it is like that place

841
00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:03,160
Speaker 2: is awesome because of that, Like they recognize, hey, you

842
00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:07,319
Speaker 2: know what, food's not all that great, all right, and

843
00:46:07,400 --> 00:46:09,719
Speaker 2: it's hit or miss on on exactly what you're gonna

844
00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:10,759
Speaker 2: get from one meal to the next.

845
00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:12,520
Speaker 5: But you know what, though, here's some entertainment.

846
00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:15,520
Speaker 2: We've got waiters who are like professional singers, and the

847
00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:19,319
Speaker 2: whole place it feels like you're in Italy. Like it

848
00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:23,719
Speaker 2: feels Italian. You know, it's like going to a Mexican restaurant. Look,

849
00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:25,520
Speaker 2: the food's not all that great, but man, they got

850
00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:28,160
Speaker 2: the best mariachi band that comes to your tables. They're

851
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:31,560
Speaker 2: making your guacamole. Like it's if you were to take

852
00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:34,799
Speaker 2: away the singing waiters and the mariachi band, you just

853
00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:39,040
Speaker 2: got a mediocre restaurant to bad restaurant. That's it. But

854
00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:42,200
Speaker 2: they recognize, hey, at least you've got something to offer you.

855
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:49,759
Speaker 2: The Cubs are historically a bad franchise, a nickel and

856
00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:55,359
Speaker 2: dime franchise, but Wrigley Fields awesome. People go there when

857
00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:58,279
Speaker 2: it's not baseball season, just to be in the neighborhood

858
00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:00,520
Speaker 2: because they look at it and go, this is history.

859
00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:03,440
Speaker 2: This has been here for you know, a century. This

860
00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:07,239
Speaker 2: like you got the it's it's right next to all

861
00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:10,600
Speaker 2: these cool spots, and there's a vibe there and Wrigleyville's fun.

862
00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:14,279
Speaker 2: Like you like, you go there and you don't even

863
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:18,920
Speaker 2: care that the team sucks. I was there two years ago,

864
00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:22,520
Speaker 2: Like you're walking around the place looking at it. I

865
00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:25,200
Speaker 2: remember some guy stop me and he goes, hey, man,

866
00:47:25,239 --> 00:47:28,359
Speaker 2: you think they were actually good. I'm like, yeah, right,

867
00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:32,880
Speaker 2: Like you know, like there's people everywhere, like it's a

868
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:35,719
Speaker 2: tourist attraction. You gotta go when they take when you

869
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:38,600
Speaker 2: look up like things to do in Chicago, Wrigley Field's

870
00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:42,000
Speaker 2: one of them. You know, it's not a Bears game.

871
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:46,080
Speaker 2: It's not like they don't even want to be in

872
00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:49,880
Speaker 2: that stadium anymore. They can't even find a place to

873
00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:52,359
Speaker 2: put the new stadium in. They're still arguing over us

874
00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:55,279
Speaker 2: that Arlington is it? Here is it? They're like, we're

875
00:47:55,320 --> 00:48:01,000
Speaker 2: not quite sure, but here's a new drawing of the stadium.

876
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:02,759
Speaker 2: Look at this. It's all like, ah, this is what

877
00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:05,000
Speaker 2: it's going to look like, yeah, where people supposed to park?

878
00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:12,120
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Like they're the restaurant

879
00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:20,719
Speaker 2: with bad food and no entertainment. Like how many times

880
00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:23,600
Speaker 2: do they have to be presented on national TV or

881
00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:26,560
Speaker 2: a big spotlight game where you go, this team is

882
00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:32,000
Speaker 2: not good at all, Like if you were to look

883
00:48:32,040 --> 00:48:37,400
Speaker 2: across town, at least, at the very least, the Cubs.

884
00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:38,240
Speaker 5: Can give you Wrigley Field.

885
00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:40,160
Speaker 2: Like you remember Mark Cuban was trying to buy the

886
00:48:40,160 --> 00:48:43,040
Speaker 2: Cubs years ago, and they tried to say, well, listen enough,

887
00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:44,719
Speaker 2: if you want to buy the Cubs, Wrigley Field is

888
00:48:44,719 --> 00:48:48,279
Speaker 2: a separate thing altogether. That's a set, And Mark Cuban said, now,

889
00:48:48,320 --> 00:48:51,359
Speaker 2: I'm good, thanks, Like why would I want to buy

890
00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:54,080
Speaker 2: this team if I can't have Wrigley Field. That's the attraction,

891
00:48:55,440 --> 00:48:59,160
Speaker 2: that's the singing waiter, that's the mariachi band. Other than that,

892
00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:04,440
Speaker 2: this is below average food. The Bears don't even have that.

893
00:49:07,320 --> 00:49:12,520
Speaker 2: They know that. So I'm looking at this on Thursday

894
00:49:12,680 --> 00:49:14,560
Speaker 2: and you look back to all of the ten game

895
00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:16,640
Speaker 2: losing streak and all, and it's like.

896
00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:20,200
Speaker 5: Oh, okay, all right, we're just gonna wow.

897
00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:22,759
Speaker 2: Let's let's mercifully get get to the end of the

898
00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:27,040
Speaker 2: season and they but we've got no like, there's not

899
00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:29,520
Speaker 2: as much hope as you think that there is. And

900
00:49:29,560 --> 00:49:33,560
Speaker 2: what's playing out that everybody's just now tuning into has

901
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:38,560
Speaker 2: been going on for decades. They've been living off one season.

902
00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:43,280
Speaker 2: They've been living off some great players at certain points

903
00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:45,799
Speaker 2: of time, and other than that, they've been floundering trying

904
00:49:45,840 --> 00:49:48,760
Speaker 2: to figure out what direction to go. And you're watching

905
00:49:48,760 --> 00:49:51,759
Speaker 2: a team like the Chargers, who's got Jim Harbaughs show

906
00:49:51,840 --> 00:49:55,400
Speaker 2: up to town and all of their historical dysfunction and

907
00:49:55,480 --> 00:49:59,319
Speaker 2: issues and late game mismanagement and injury, all of that

908
00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:02,120
Speaker 2: isn't even just we're not even talking about anymore, because

909
00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:04,839
Speaker 2: there's actual hope there. Okay, even if they don't win

910
00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:07,839
Speaker 2: a Super Bowl this year, and they probably won't, at

911
00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:09,759
Speaker 2: least you know they've got the guy who's gonna send

912
00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:12,799
Speaker 2: him in the right direction. With the Bears, you don't

913
00:50:12,840 --> 00:50:17,160
Speaker 2: have that, and you don't have a bunch else. Jonas

914
00:50:17,200 --> 00:50:20,080
Speaker 2: Knox here, Fox Sports Radio at the Jonas Knox at

915
00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:21,960
Speaker 2: the Jonas Knox and X By the way, thirty to

916
00:50:22,040 --> 00:50:26,239
Speaker 2: seven is the score there. The Chargers over the Patriots

917
00:50:26,640 --> 00:50:30,480
Speaker 2: third quarter, four minutes and change left to go in. Hey,

918
00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:32,080
Speaker 2: what do you know? Another wipe out in the NFL

919
00:50:32,120 --> 00:50:35,400
Speaker 2: this week? Awesome? So another bad game that the NFL

920
00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:37,680
Speaker 2: has given us here. But maybe who knows, maybe Drake

921
00:50:37,719 --> 00:50:39,839
Speaker 2: Mail starts slinging it around a little bit and get him.

922
00:50:39,719 --> 00:50:41,120
Speaker 5: Back into this game. We'll keep you posting.

923
00:50:41,800 --> 00:50:43,480
Speaker 2: By the way, a lot of positive feedback here on

924
00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:46,600
Speaker 2: social media, A big fans of the program thus far.

925
00:50:46,680 --> 00:50:48,319
Speaker 2: On what we're doing here on a Saturday. By the

926
00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:53,080
Speaker 2: final Saturday show of the twenty twenty four years, you

927
00:50:53,120 --> 00:51:00,520
Speaker 2: would expect all the classics, Derek writes in glad to

928
00:51:00,520 --> 00:51:04,800
Speaker 2: see that unwatchable NFL is now catering to these bleeps

929
00:51:04,840 --> 00:51:08,800
Speaker 2: like Jonas so they can entertain you bleepwads with Beyonce

930
00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:11,960
Speaker 2: instead of the actual sport. Next to you and your

931
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:17,480
Speaker 2: pack of bleeps can beg bleep ass Goodell to book

932
00:51:17,560 --> 00:51:24,360
Speaker 2: t Swift to perform you bleep gobbler. Aaron wrights In

933
00:51:24,840 --> 00:51:32,000
Speaker 2: figures that Jonas's show because if it wasn't for uh D,

934
00:51:32,040 --> 00:51:34,759
Speaker 2: I can't even read that never mind. That's yeah, that's

935
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:40,320
Speaker 2: that's inappropriate. Tony writes in Bleep, Sirianni should whoop Joni

936
00:51:40,560 --> 00:51:44,880
Speaker 2: Jayoff's pasty ass instead of feuding with bleeps in the media,

937
00:51:45,080 --> 00:51:49,680
Speaker 2: fans or loser bum ass Eagles you soy boy, bleep

938
00:51:51,880 --> 00:51:56,040
Speaker 2: so happy holidays from everybody on social media here on

939
00:51:56,080 --> 00:51:59,080
Speaker 2: a Saturday, an hour two of this two hour extravaganza.

940
00:51:59,160 --> 00:52:01,080
Speaker 2: Coming up next here though, from the tire rack dot

941
00:52:01,160 --> 00:52:04,719
Speaker 2: com studios, We're going to tell you how one team

942
00:52:04,760 --> 00:52:08,719
Speaker 2: in the NFL has got a really interesting decision to

943
00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:12,760
Speaker 2: make really interesting but apparently they're not taking any chances.

944
00:52:12,840 --> 00:52:14,640
Speaker 5: We'll get into that for you here on FSR.

945
00:52:15,360 --> 00:52:19,319
Speaker 2: Jonas Knox Fox Sports Radio, by the way, coming up

946
00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:21,320
Speaker 2: a little over ten minutes from now here from the

947
00:52:21,520 --> 00:52:24,640
Speaker 2: tire Raq dot com studios. I believe that maybe the

948
00:52:24,680 --> 00:52:28,640
Speaker 2: greatest of all time might be the greatest of all time.

949
00:52:29,120 --> 00:52:32,560
Speaker 2: I believe he's wrong. I believe he took the wrong

950
00:52:32,560 --> 00:52:35,560
Speaker 2: approach when it comes to something in the world of

951
00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:38,000
Speaker 2: football here that he has said recently. We'll get into

952
00:52:38,040 --> 00:52:41,360
Speaker 2: that for you again a little over ten minutes from now.

953
00:52:41,239 --> 00:52:42,919
Speaker 5: Here on FSR.

954
00:52:43,200 --> 00:52:46,520
Speaker 2: A quick update for you from the game currently taking

955
00:52:46,520 --> 00:52:47,920
Speaker 2: place at Foxborough.

956
00:52:47,960 --> 00:52:50,239
Speaker 5: It is the Chargers with a thirty.

957
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:53,000
Speaker 2: To seven lead over the New England Patriots. A minute

958
00:52:53,040 --> 00:52:55,000
Speaker 2: twenty left to go on the third quarter, it's been

959
00:52:55,040 --> 00:52:55,960
Speaker 2: all la.

960
00:52:56,320 --> 00:52:57,279
Speaker 5: New England's trying, man.

961
00:52:57,320 --> 00:52:59,319
Speaker 2: I mean they're going forward on fourth down from their

962
00:52:59,320 --> 00:53:03,080
Speaker 2: own territory. They're doing whatever they can and it's not

963
00:53:03,280 --> 00:53:05,799
Speaker 2: enough at all or even close. So it looks like

964
00:53:05,840 --> 00:53:07,960
Speaker 2: New England's on their way to four to a three

965
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:10,759
Speaker 2: and thirteen record. With one game remaining, the Chargers are

966
00:53:10,800 --> 00:53:13,760
Speaker 2: going to be ten and six. What is interesting about

967
00:53:14,080 --> 00:53:17,839
Speaker 2: the Chargers situation when it comes to the playoffs. If

968
00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:23,800
Speaker 2: you're the Chargers in the Broncos like, you're looking around going, dude,

969
00:53:23,800 --> 00:53:26,560
Speaker 2: is there any possibility or any hope for us to

970
00:53:26,560 --> 00:53:29,839
Speaker 2: get into the five seed? Like, is there any hope

971
00:53:29,880 --> 00:53:31,320
Speaker 2: for you to get in the five seat? Because whoever

972
00:53:31,320 --> 00:53:33,680
Speaker 2: gets in the five seed, because right now the Pittsburgh

973
00:53:33,680 --> 00:53:39,839
Speaker 2: Steelers have the five spot, whoever gets there. I mean,

974
00:53:41,840 --> 00:53:45,160
Speaker 2: you're looking at Houston in the first round. Of all

975
00:53:45,320 --> 00:53:49,520
Speaker 2: the teams in the AFC playoffs, especially the division leaders,

976
00:53:49,920 --> 00:53:52,799
Speaker 2: anybody in the five spot I look at as being

977
00:53:52,840 --> 00:53:55,600
Speaker 2: a team that can beat Houston any of them. Other

978
00:53:55,640 --> 00:53:58,480
Speaker 2: than that, you're gonna end up with either Buffalo or Baltimore.

979
00:53:58,840 --> 00:54:02,320
Speaker 2: So if Baltimore is sitting there and maintains that three spot,

980
00:54:02,520 --> 00:54:05,760
Speaker 2: and you're the sixth seed, whether it be Denver, whether

981
00:54:05,800 --> 00:54:08,200
Speaker 2: it be the Chargers. I actually think it might be

982
00:54:08,239 --> 00:54:10,440
Speaker 2: more difficult to go in and beat Baltimore right now

983
00:54:10,440 --> 00:54:13,239
Speaker 2: than it would be Buffalo, because I'll say this, man,

984
00:54:13,560 --> 00:54:16,360
Speaker 2: I've been pounding the table for Josh Allen as MVP

985
00:54:16,560 --> 00:54:18,399
Speaker 2: for weeks and weeks and weeks. I think I might

986
00:54:18,440 --> 00:54:22,440
Speaker 2: be wrong. Lamar Jackson's unbelievable. We were talking about this

987
00:54:22,520 --> 00:54:26,120
Speaker 2: on the show this week, that he was already an

988
00:54:26,200 --> 00:54:32,200
Speaker 2: MVP last year and he's gotten better, significantly better. And

989
00:54:32,239 --> 00:54:35,479
Speaker 2: I don't know that there's another quarterback in the league

990
00:54:35,480 --> 00:54:37,520
Speaker 2: who's had as good of a year as Lamar Jackson.

991
00:54:38,120 --> 00:54:41,680
Speaker 2: He's unbelievable, and Josh Allen's had a great year. And

992
00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:44,080
Speaker 2: whoever wins, there's going to be a debate, because of

993
00:54:44,080 --> 00:54:45,920
Speaker 2: course there is at sports. There's always going to be

994
00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:49,080
Speaker 2: a debate. But I think Lamar Jackson's got a real

995
00:54:49,120 --> 00:54:52,520
Speaker 2: opportunity to steal this thing, which three four weeks ago,

996
00:54:52,600 --> 00:54:55,360
Speaker 2: I thought it was a done deal. I thought Josh

997
00:54:55,400 --> 00:54:58,360
Speaker 2: Allen was a slam dunk MVP. I thought it was over.

998
00:54:58,480 --> 00:55:01,000
Speaker 2: I thought, listen, it's the store it's you know, he's

999
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:04,120
Speaker 2: never wonted. He's never man. I don't care how many

1000
00:55:04,160 --> 00:55:07,839
Speaker 2: times Lamar Jackson has won it. He's better this year

1001
00:55:08,320 --> 00:55:13,480
Speaker 2: than any of his MVP seasons before, Like he's gotten

1002
00:55:13,560 --> 00:55:15,640
Speaker 2: that much better. And so if you just look at

1003
00:55:15,640 --> 00:55:18,000
Speaker 2: the Baltimore Ravens right now, I don't know that they're

1004
00:55:18,040 --> 00:55:20,000
Speaker 2: not the most dangerous team in the AFC or in

1005
00:55:20,040 --> 00:55:23,759
Speaker 2: the NFL period, based on what they have figured out

1006
00:55:23,760 --> 00:55:25,520
Speaker 2: and what they're putting together. And then it becomes the

1007
00:55:25,560 --> 00:55:27,920
Speaker 2: conversation of, well, listen, we see what happens in the

1008
00:55:27,960 --> 00:55:31,480
Speaker 2: postseason with them, because they've come up short every single time.

1009
00:55:33,200 --> 00:55:36,799
Speaker 2: But I just I thought it was a done deal.

1010
00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:39,080
Speaker 2: I thought Josh Allen had this whole thing wrapped up.

1011
00:55:39,120 --> 00:55:42,200
Speaker 2: I was wrong. Lamar Jackson should be the MVP. Whether

1012
00:55:42,320 --> 00:55:44,120
Speaker 2: or not he wins it, who knows, that's a whole

1013
00:55:44,200 --> 00:55:47,480
Speaker 2: nother discussion. But he's been the best quarterback in the NFL.

1014
00:55:47,560 --> 00:55:50,080
Speaker 2: And I don't even think it's close. At the Jonas

1015
00:55:50,160 --> 00:55:52,360
Speaker 2: Knocks on X. At the Jonas Knocks and X, and

1016
00:55:52,400 --> 00:55:54,359
Speaker 2: you can hang out with us as always on the

1017
00:55:54,400 --> 00:56:00,960
Speaker 2: iHeartRadio app. There was a report from Diana Versine of

1018
00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:06,160
Speaker 2: the Athletic earlier that was discussing the situation in Minnesota

1019
00:56:06,160 --> 00:56:09,239
Speaker 2: at quarterback, because you know, the Vikings find themselves in

1020
00:56:09,320 --> 00:56:15,640
Speaker 2: a really interesting spot. So apparently the Minnesota Vikings, who

1021
00:56:15,680 --> 00:56:18,960
Speaker 2: have Sam Darnald as their quarterback for ten million dollars

1022
00:56:18,960 --> 00:56:22,839
Speaker 2: a year, apparently there is some discussion about what they

1023
00:56:22,880 --> 00:56:25,960
Speaker 2: will do moving forward, and that they'd like to bring

1024
00:56:26,040 --> 00:56:29,600
Speaker 2: him back at least for another year so they can

1025
00:56:29,680 --> 00:56:31,640
Speaker 2: either franchise tag and which is going to be over

1026
00:56:31,719 --> 00:56:35,480
Speaker 2: forty million dollars, they could give him a shorter term deal,

1027
00:56:35,600 --> 00:56:36,600
Speaker 2: whatever the case may be.

1028
00:56:36,680 --> 00:56:38,040
Speaker 5: But what makes this interesting is.

1029
00:56:37,960 --> 00:56:42,360
Speaker 2: That JJ McCarthy was drafted just this past year in

1030
00:56:42,400 --> 00:56:45,799
Speaker 2: the top ten, and you would assume that that would

1031
00:56:45,800 --> 00:56:51,440
Speaker 2: be their franchise quarterback. And if I'm the Minnesota Vikings

1032
00:56:51,440 --> 00:56:55,200
Speaker 2: and I'm looking around at this, I don't know that

1033
00:56:55,400 --> 00:56:58,480
Speaker 2: I even risk or take a chance at moving on

1034
00:56:58,560 --> 00:57:02,160
Speaker 2: from Sam Darnold. I think I try and lock him

1035
00:57:02,200 --> 00:57:04,960
Speaker 2: up long term. And you could say, well, it's just

1036
00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:08,680
Speaker 2: because he's with Kevin O'Connell. Okay, Well, if Kevin O'Connell's

1037
00:57:08,719 --> 00:57:12,880
Speaker 2: not going anywhere, what does it matter? Like who cares

1038
00:57:12,960 --> 00:57:16,680
Speaker 2: that it's the system? If it's working, go with it.

1039
00:57:17,640 --> 00:57:19,760
Speaker 2: And if they make a deep run, which they've got

1040
00:57:19,800 --> 00:57:22,960
Speaker 2: an opportunity to based on the injuries and what's happening

1041
00:57:22,960 --> 00:57:24,680
Speaker 2: in the NFC. If they make a deep run and

1042
00:57:24,720 --> 00:57:27,160
Speaker 2: Sam Darnold continues to play the way that he's playing,

1043
00:57:27,680 --> 00:57:30,520
Speaker 2: how the hell do you move off of that? Like,

1044
00:57:30,560 --> 00:57:32,280
Speaker 2: how the hell do you just bring him back for

1045
00:57:32,320 --> 00:57:34,720
Speaker 2: a one year deal? Like if you could lock him

1046
00:57:34,760 --> 00:57:38,600
Speaker 2: up long term and you see, hey, this works, this

1047
00:57:38,640 --> 00:57:41,440
Speaker 2: has got staying power here. We've already got Justin Jefferson,

1048
00:57:41,480 --> 00:57:45,680
Speaker 2: We've got Jordan Adison, and look, Addison's a really good player.

1049
00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:47,400
Speaker 2: I mean, I wouldn't let him pick me up from

1050
00:57:47,400 --> 00:57:50,920
Speaker 2: the airport, but he's a really good player, you know,

1051
00:57:51,200 --> 00:57:53,080
Speaker 2: like just you know some of the other stuff he's

1052
00:57:53,080 --> 00:57:57,320
Speaker 2: gonna work on. But point is, Minnesota's got talent. And

1053
00:57:57,360 --> 00:58:01,480
Speaker 2: if you can have that talent in place around to

1054
00:58:01,600 --> 00:58:04,760
Speaker 2: Sam Donald, even though you've already drafted a quarterback.

1055
00:58:04,440 --> 00:58:05,680
Speaker 5: Why would you take the chance?

1056
00:58:07,720 --> 00:58:11,960
Speaker 2: Like like why go in a different direction just because

1057
00:58:12,880 --> 00:58:15,160
Speaker 2: you want to play kate to the move that you

1058
00:58:15,200 --> 00:58:18,280
Speaker 2: already made, Like you didn't expect this from Sam darna

1059
00:58:18,400 --> 00:58:21,720
Speaker 2: You were optimistic, like Justin Jefferson was optimistic. You know,

1060
00:58:21,720 --> 00:58:25,840
Speaker 2: obviously knew JJ McCarthy was injured, He knew that Kirk

1061
00:58:25,880 --> 00:58:28,760
Speaker 2: Cousins was gone, but you were you were hoping like

1062
00:58:28,840 --> 00:58:31,240
Speaker 2: there was some hope there that then and some optimism

1063
00:58:31,320 --> 00:58:33,560
Speaker 2: that Sam Donald was going to be able to get

1064
00:58:33,560 --> 00:58:35,440
Speaker 2: it done for you. But I think he's performed at

1065
00:58:35,440 --> 00:58:38,040
Speaker 2: a level that is way beyond anything that they thought.

1066
00:58:39,160 --> 00:58:39,240
Speaker 4: Now.

1067
00:58:39,280 --> 00:58:41,960
Speaker 2: I think it's completely opened the door for them to

1068
00:58:42,000 --> 00:58:44,240
Speaker 2: want to make him their long term answer quarterback. Now

1069
00:58:44,240 --> 00:58:47,480
Speaker 2: what you do with JJ McCarthy. Pete Prisco and I

1070
00:58:47,520 --> 00:58:50,600
Speaker 2: were kind of throwing it around during the week. Look,

1071
00:58:50,600 --> 00:58:52,760
Speaker 2: there's gonna be some teams on the outside looking in,

1072
00:58:52,960 --> 00:58:55,520
Speaker 2: some teams that wanted a quarterback in last year's draft

1073
00:58:55,560 --> 00:58:57,560
Speaker 2: that weren't able to get one. Do you entertain the

1074
00:58:57,600 --> 00:59:02,240
Speaker 2: idea of maybe trading JJ McCarthy, even though he's never played,

1075
00:59:02,880 --> 00:59:05,160
Speaker 2: even though he's coming off this injury. Do you entertain

1076
00:59:05,200 --> 00:59:07,760
Speaker 2: the idea of trading him if you believe Sam Donald

1077
00:59:07,800 --> 00:59:11,640
Speaker 2: your guy, and one of those teams that's going to

1078
00:59:11,680 --> 00:59:13,240
Speaker 2: be out there that's going to be looking for a

1079
00:59:13,320 --> 00:59:15,360
Speaker 2: quarterback that's going to be on the outside looking in

1080
00:59:15,600 --> 00:59:17,960
Speaker 2: at one of these top quarterbacks in this draft that

1081
00:59:18,080 --> 00:59:19,960
Speaker 2: was on the outside looking in at one of the

1082
00:59:19,960 --> 00:59:24,520
Speaker 2: top quarterbacks in last year's draft is the Raiders. And

1083
00:59:24,600 --> 00:59:28,360
Speaker 2: I just wonder, if you're the Minnesota Vikings, do you

1084
00:59:28,400 --> 00:59:31,680
Speaker 2: call up the Raiders and say, are you interested in

1085
00:59:31,760 --> 00:59:35,440
Speaker 2: JJ McCarthy, because if he was there and available last year,

1086
00:59:35,440 --> 00:59:40,120
Speaker 2: they would have drafted him. I think Sam Donald's completely

1087
00:59:40,200 --> 00:59:43,040
Speaker 2: changed the conversation for the Vikings. I think he's completely

1088
00:59:43,160 --> 00:59:45,880
Speaker 2: changed it. And if you want to do the Michigan

1089
00:59:45,920 --> 00:59:50,240
Speaker 2: connection and say, hey, Tom Brady's going to have personnel

1090
00:59:50,360 --> 00:59:54,880
Speaker 2: say there and JJ McCarthy is a Michigan guy, like,

1091
00:59:54,920 --> 00:59:57,760
Speaker 2: maybe maybe there's some But if I'm Minnesota, I'm looking

1092
00:59:57,760 --> 01:00:00,480
Speaker 2: around going, man, this isn't just a one year deal

1093
01:00:00,520 --> 01:00:02,440
Speaker 2: for me. I'm not franchising him to see what I

1094
01:00:02,440 --> 01:00:06,120
Speaker 2: got in JJ McCarthy, Why take the chance at all? Like,

1095
01:00:06,160 --> 01:00:09,960
Speaker 2: if it's me, I'm locking him up long term. And

1096
01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:12,640
Speaker 2: if I've got to move on from JJ McCarthy, so

1097
01:00:12,720 --> 01:00:14,280
Speaker 2: be it. But I think I found my quarterback of

1098
01:00:14,320 --> 01:00:18,240
Speaker 2: the future. And if anybody wants to say, well, no,

1099
01:00:18,840 --> 01:00:21,560
Speaker 2: he's gonna regress. It's the Sam Donald of old. I

1100
01:00:21,560 --> 01:00:25,640
Speaker 2: don't know, man, Like this looks pretty good and all

1101
01:00:25,680 --> 01:00:28,480
Speaker 2: the key ingredients are there. Kevin O'Connell's going to be

1102
01:00:28,520 --> 01:00:32,400
Speaker 2: locked up long term. They're not letting him go justin

1103
01:00:32,480 --> 01:00:35,280
Speaker 2: Jefferson has locked up long term. Why would you not

1104
01:00:35,400 --> 01:00:37,400
Speaker 2: lock up a guy who's having the best year of

1105
01:00:37,440 --> 01:00:40,280
Speaker 2: his career and one of the best quarterback seasons in

1106
01:00:40,320 --> 01:00:43,680
Speaker 2: the NFL just because you drafted an unknown in the

1107
01:00:43,680 --> 01:00:47,080
Speaker 2: top ten last year. To me see what maybe you

1108
01:00:47,120 --> 01:00:49,640
Speaker 2: could potentially get for JJ McCarthy. I think the Raiders

1109
01:00:49,680 --> 01:00:51,600
Speaker 2: make a ton of sense, and I would go with

1110
01:00:51,600 --> 01:00:55,360
Speaker 2: Sam Donald long term. So the theory and the info

1111
01:00:55,440 --> 01:00:57,920
Speaker 2: put out from Diana Rassinia that the Vikings are thinking

1112
01:00:58,000 --> 01:01:01,320
Speaker 2: we want to keep him long term there in Minnesota.

1113
01:01:01,360 --> 01:01:03,280
Speaker 2: What that looks like, we'll see. I think it makes

1114
01:01:03,280 --> 01:01:05,520
Speaker 2: a ton of sense. He's been fantastic this year. Jonas

1126
01:01:42,480 --> 01:01:44,880

01:01:44,920 --> 01:01:49,520
Speaker 2: Schwartz has become a degenerate gambler. Good for him, good friend,

1128

Speaker 2: started his journey down this road. And Brian Knows always

1130
01:01:54,440 --> 01:01:56,640

1135
01:02:07,000 --> 01:02:11,640
Speaker 2: the greatest of all time, who apparently is taking the

1136
01:02:11,680 --> 01:02:14,160
Speaker 2: wrong approach when it comes to one of the great

1137
01:02:14,200 --> 01:02:17,120
Speaker 2: things we get every single football season. We'll get into

1138
01:02:17,200 --> 01:02:19,240
Speaker 2: that for you here on FSR, but for all the

1139
01:02:19,280 --> 01:02:21,960
Speaker 2: latest from around the world of sports, including the most

1140
01:02:22,040 --> 01:02:27,200
Speaker 2: recent scoring touchdown for the La Chargers at Boxborough. He's

1141
01:02:27,200 --> 01:02:28,160
Speaker 2: the one and only Martin.

1142
01:02:28,000 --> 01:02:29,440
Speaker 4: Wise, that'd be JK.

01:02:29,680 --> 01:02:32,520
Speaker 6: Dobbins right through the a gap, one touchdown on the

1144

1145
01:02:36,160 --> 01:02:37,320
Speaker 4: For the New England Patriots.

1146
01:02:37,360 --> 01:02:40,160
Speaker 6: Right now, it's not been pretty doing thirty seven to

1147
01:02:40,160 --> 01:02:43,360
Speaker 6: seven score with twelve minutes left in the fourth quarter.

1148
01:02:43,680 --> 01:02:45,400
Speaker 4: You were talking earlier about this.

1149
01:02:45,520 --> 01:02:48,680
Speaker 6: How you know you would just you know, all we

1150
01:02:48,720 --> 01:02:50,280

01:02:52,520 --> 01:02:52,920
Speaker 2: Nope.

1153
01:02:53,040 --> 01:02:56,520
Speaker 6: Right now we're looking at the winnings. Teams have scored

1154
01:02:56,800 --> 01:02:59,880
Speaker 6: one hundred and three points. If this margin of third

1155
01:03:00,240 --> 01:03:03,000
Speaker 6: seven and seven between the Chargers and the Patriots Holls,

1156
01:03:03,000 --> 01:03:05,720
Speaker 6: that means the teams that have won from Christmas to

1157
01:03:05,880 --> 01:03:09,160
Speaker 6: now will have scored one hundred and three the losing

1158
01:03:09,200 --> 01:03:13,160
Speaker 6: teams will score twenty two. So one hundred and three

1159
01:03:13,200 --> 01:03:16,040
Speaker 6: to twenty two scoring margin there wins and losses. That's

1160
01:03:16,080 --> 01:03:19,960
Speaker 6: exactly the way they drew it up. Yeah, jeez man,

01:05:11,120 --> 01:05:13,000
Speaker 2: Coming up in about fifteen minutes from now, we are

1200
01:05:13,040 --> 01:05:15,720
Speaker 2: going to have the week seventeen edition of Knox Locks

1201
01:05:15,760 --> 01:05:19,080
Speaker 2: that will be yours here on FSR. I wait, look,

1202
01:05:19,160 --> 01:05:21,240
Speaker 2: last week, we're kind of we find ourselves in the

1203
01:05:21,240 --> 01:05:22,960
Speaker 2: same spot, all right, But it all comes down to

1204
01:05:23,000 --> 01:05:25,400
Speaker 2: the final two weeks, trying to get over the hump,

1205
01:05:25,720 --> 01:05:28,640
Speaker 2: trying to do something we haven't done I think all

1206
01:05:28,720 --> 01:05:31,440
Speaker 2: year long, if if my memory serves me correct. So

1207
01:05:31,480 --> 01:05:33,480
Speaker 2: we will get into the details on that for you again,

1208
01:05:33,480 --> 01:05:36,680
Speaker 2: coming up here at about twelve minutes from now from

1209
01:05:36,760 --> 01:05:42,600
Speaker 2: the tiraq dot com studio. So I love me some

1210
01:05:42,800 --> 01:05:46,320
Speaker 2: Nick Saban, all right. I love the fact that he

1211
01:05:46,440 --> 01:05:49,960
Speaker 2: is forever a red ass. I love the fact that

1212
01:05:50,080 --> 01:05:52,760
Speaker 2: he got pissed off at Shane Gillis and it became really,

1213
01:05:52,800 --> 01:05:57,200
Speaker 2: really awkward. I love it. I got to disagree with

1214
01:05:57,320 --> 01:05:59,960
Speaker 2: Nick Saban on something. He was on the Pat McAfee

1215
01:06:00,120 --> 01:06:04,840
Speaker 2: show this week and he was talking about Ohio State fans,

1216
01:06:05,280 --> 01:06:07,880
Speaker 2: and he was talking about Ohio State fans who were

1217
01:06:08,360 --> 01:06:12,560
Speaker 2: really caught up in this Michigan rivalry so much so

1218
01:06:12,640 --> 01:06:15,880
Speaker 2: that it feels like it supersedes even them going after

1219
01:06:15,920 --> 01:06:18,080
Speaker 2: a national championship. Let's take a listen.

1220
01:06:18,880 --> 01:06:20,840
Speaker 8: These are high state fans. You know, they got a

1221
01:06:20,840 --> 01:06:24,600
Speaker 8: psychotic obsession with Michigan and they need to go get

1222
01:06:24,640 --> 01:06:27,120
Speaker 8: therapy or something to try to get it bit because

1223
01:06:27,120 --> 01:06:29,360
Speaker 8: they have a chance to win the national championship, and

1224
01:06:29,920 --> 01:06:33,400
Speaker 8: here you are. You know, nobody's excited about their opportunity

1225
01:06:33,440 --> 01:06:36,200
Speaker 8: to play because they lost to Michigan, which was a

1226
01:06:36,200 --> 01:06:36,760
Speaker 8: tough game.

1227
01:06:37,720 --> 01:06:41,320
Speaker 5: So I totally disagree with him. And here's why.

1228
01:06:42,280 --> 01:06:45,520
Speaker 2: When the expansion of the college football playoffs happened, one

1229
01:06:45,560 --> 01:06:47,520
Speaker 2: of the things that people were worried about is, well,

1230
01:06:47,560 --> 01:06:50,640
Speaker 2: you're going to diminish the regular season. You know, you're

1231
01:06:51,280 --> 01:06:53,920
Speaker 2: you're going to diminish some of these other games that

1232
01:06:53,920 --> 01:06:56,560
Speaker 2: are out there. And to a certain extent, I could

1233
01:06:56,680 --> 01:06:59,600
Speaker 2: understand the logic, but my point on it was always this,

1234
01:07:00,920 --> 01:07:05,440
Speaker 2: there are certain rivalries in sports that you don't need

1235
01:07:05,560 --> 01:07:09,680
Speaker 2: a record or a ranking attached to to make it worthwhile.

1236
01:07:10,800 --> 01:07:14,960
Speaker 2: You just don't. There are certain rivalries in sports that

1237
01:07:15,040 --> 01:07:18,880
Speaker 2: you don't need a bunch on the line as far

1238
01:07:18,920 --> 01:07:21,560
Speaker 2: as a chance to win a conference championship or a

1239
01:07:21,600 --> 01:07:24,040
Speaker 2: chance to go to a national championship. You don't need

1240
01:07:24,120 --> 01:07:26,960
Speaker 2: all that for it to matter and mean a lot

1241
01:07:27,000 --> 01:07:30,560
Speaker 2: to a lot of people. And Michigan and Ohio State

1242
01:07:30,720 --> 01:07:35,680
Speaker 2: is one of those. And it feels like the pressure

1243
01:07:36,400 --> 01:07:39,640
Speaker 2: and the heat has gotten ratcheted up in that rivalry

1244
01:07:39,680 --> 01:07:42,240
Speaker 2: over the past several years. Maybe more so than in

1245
01:07:42,320 --> 01:07:45,920
Speaker 2: years past. And if you talk to enough people there,

1246
01:07:46,920 --> 01:07:50,160
Speaker 2: they try and explain it to you as no, you

1247
01:07:50,160 --> 01:07:53,120
Speaker 2: don't understand, this is a big deal. Like Brady Quinn

1248
01:07:53,120 --> 01:07:54,960
Speaker 2: grew up in the area and he would tell me

1249
01:07:55,000 --> 01:07:59,000
Speaker 2: stories about it. I was like, wait, really, Albert Breer,

1250
01:08:00,080 --> 01:08:02,600
Speaker 2: who's a guest here on Fox Sports Radio. You hear

1251
01:08:02,680 --> 01:08:04,360
Speaker 2: him on Two Pros and a Cup of Joe. You

1252
01:08:04,400 --> 01:08:07,360
Speaker 2: hear him with Colin Coward. Albert's fantastic. Albert is a

1253
01:08:07,520 --> 01:08:12,120
Speaker 2: Ohio State alum. Remember, Like we asked him one time, Hey,

1254
01:08:12,160 --> 01:08:17,599
Speaker 2: would you rather beat Michigan but lose a national title

1255
01:08:17,880 --> 01:08:21,400
Speaker 2: or vice versa, win a national title and lose to Michigan,

1256
01:08:23,280 --> 01:08:25,439
Speaker 2: And he said, I'd rather beat Michigan and lose a

1257
01:08:25,520 --> 01:08:31,400
Speaker 2: national title, which is bizarre, which doesn't make any sense

1258
01:08:32,200 --> 01:08:35,280
Speaker 2: at any level in the NFL, like it doesn't matter,

1259
01:08:35,280 --> 01:08:38,360
Speaker 2: Like you can't even you can't even comprehend it. Like

1260
01:08:38,400 --> 01:08:40,920
Speaker 2: if you're an NFL team and you lost to your

1261
01:08:41,080 --> 01:08:43,479
Speaker 2: arch rival twice during the season, but you ended up

1262
01:08:43,520 --> 01:08:47,120
Speaker 2: winning a super Bowl, nobody cares. You're the super Bowl

1263
01:08:47,160 --> 01:08:51,559
Speaker 2: champion Ohio State. And it was part of the reason

1264
01:08:51,600 --> 01:08:53,960
Speaker 2: why I kind of liked Tennessee last week because I

1265
01:08:54,000 --> 01:08:55,799
Speaker 2: wasn't sure what I was going to get from Ohio

1266
01:08:55,840 --> 01:08:59,919
Speaker 2: State because they completely melted down in that game to Michigan.

1267
01:09:00,920 --> 01:09:04,639
Speaker 2: They completely unraveled in that game. And you could feel

1268
01:09:04,920 --> 01:09:08,160
Speaker 2: the intensity and the pressure ratchet up as that game

1269
01:09:08,200 --> 01:09:10,320
Speaker 2: got late, because they were like, oh god, we were

1270
01:09:10,320 --> 01:09:12,360
Speaker 2: supposed to run away with this game, and now we

1271
01:09:12,439 --> 01:09:14,960
Speaker 2: find ourselves trailing and it's the fourth quarter with five

1272
01:09:14,960 --> 01:09:18,040
Speaker 2: minutes left, or it's the fourth quarter with two minutes left,

1273
01:09:18,200 --> 01:09:20,559
Speaker 2: or oh my god, the clocks winding down, we're actually

1274
01:09:20,600 --> 01:09:24,240
Speaker 2: gonna lose. You could feel it. It was palpable while

1275
01:09:24,280 --> 01:09:25,840
Speaker 2: you watch the game. We were on the air what

1276
01:09:26,120 --> 01:09:30,400
Speaker 2: was happening, Like, you don't ever want to lose that.

1277
01:09:30,680 --> 01:09:32,960
Speaker 2: So when Nick Saban says, well, they need, you know,

1278
01:09:33,280 --> 01:09:35,840
Speaker 2: to get some sort of therapy and that no, no, no, no,

1279
01:09:36,479 --> 01:09:41,479
Speaker 2: they got it right, Like that is proof that some

1280
01:09:41,720 --> 01:09:46,400
Speaker 2: of these expansions don't diminish what that game means. And

1281
01:09:46,439 --> 01:09:49,360
Speaker 2: the second it does, that's when I think college football's

1282
01:09:49,400 --> 01:09:51,160
Speaker 2: got a problem. That's when I think sports has got

1283
01:09:51,200 --> 01:09:54,080
Speaker 2: a problem when all of a sudden, the rivalries start

1284
01:09:54,120 --> 01:09:56,880
Speaker 2: to go away because and the intensity of the rivalries,

1285
01:09:56,960 --> 01:09:59,800
Speaker 2: because one team did this and the other team went

1286
01:09:59,800 --> 01:10:02,360
Speaker 2: in direction. No, no, no, that game still got a

1287
01:10:02,439 --> 01:10:06,640
Speaker 2: matter and what we saw between those two teams a

1288
01:10:06,760 --> 01:10:09,720
Speaker 2: month ago and just sort of the fallout ever since

1289
01:10:09,800 --> 01:10:13,720
Speaker 2: to where look, Michigan is nowhere in the conversation of

1290
01:10:13,760 --> 01:10:16,519
Speaker 2: a national title this year, and they're running around like

1291
01:10:16,560 --> 01:10:20,639
Speaker 2: they won the national title because they beat Ohio State.

1292
01:10:22,880 --> 01:10:28,120
Speaker 2: But the two different conversations, Ohio State looked maybe like

1293
01:10:28,240 --> 01:10:30,840
Speaker 2: the best team of the opening round of the college

1294
01:10:30,880 --> 01:10:32,800
Speaker 2: football playoffs last weekend.

1295
01:10:34,200 --> 01:10:35,280
Speaker 5: Yet they'll never.

1296
01:10:35,160 --> 01:10:37,320
Speaker 2: Get the taste out of their mouth of oh my god,

1297
01:10:37,360 --> 01:10:40,120
Speaker 2: but we lost to Michigan. Like I'm telling you, they're

1298
01:10:40,160 --> 01:10:44,400
Speaker 2: the seniors that came back to beat Michigan because they

1299
01:10:44,439 --> 01:10:46,400
Speaker 2: hadn't done it in their career. If they were to

1300
01:10:46,439 --> 01:10:50,639
Speaker 2: go on and win a national title, they'll walk around

1301
01:10:50,640 --> 01:10:53,600
Speaker 2: with that ring and celebrate being a national champion, and

1302
01:10:53,640 --> 01:10:55,719
Speaker 2: they'll never be able to say, yeah, but I beat Michigan,

1303
01:10:57,560 --> 01:10:59,240
Speaker 2: like it's gonna haunt them the rest of their life.

1304
01:10:59,240 --> 01:11:01,360
Speaker 5: So when Nick Saban was all they need, no they don't.

1305
01:11:01,960 --> 01:11:02,679
Speaker 5: This is what.

1306
01:11:02,840 --> 01:11:07,400
Speaker 2: College football has to have, otherwise it just becomes the

1307
01:11:07,439 --> 01:11:10,800
Speaker 2: same as the NFL and the same as everywhere else where. Hey,

1308
01:11:11,240 --> 01:11:14,160
Speaker 2: we only put a premium on you winning a national title,

1309
01:11:14,479 --> 01:11:18,679
Speaker 2: and if you don't win a championship, then nothing else matters. No, no, no,

1310
01:11:18,760 --> 01:11:21,599
Speaker 2: This is proof that those teams could be bottom feeders.

1311
01:11:21,720 --> 01:11:26,559
Speaker 2: They could be national championship considerations. They get the fact

1312
01:11:26,600 --> 01:11:28,880
Speaker 2: that they care that much and they're this depressed about

1313
01:11:28,880 --> 01:11:30,519
Speaker 2: it tells you everything you need to know. Let's go

1314
01:11:30,640 --> 01:11:32,800
Speaker 2: live to our I have a thought on depression inside

1315
01:11:32,800 --> 01:11:34,080
Speaker 2: of Christophe for the latest.

1316
01:11:33,880 --> 01:11:36,599
Speaker 9: Quell I do, I do do depression. But either way,

1317
01:11:36,800 --> 01:11:39,439
Speaker 9: I grew up in Toledo, which is for those who

1318
01:11:39,479 --> 01:11:41,360
Speaker 9: don't know where, Toledo is just right on the border

1319
01:11:41,400 --> 01:11:44,519
Speaker 9: with Michigan and Ohio state. In fact, in history, Ohio

1320
01:11:44,680 --> 01:11:48,679
Speaker 9: and Michigan fought a war over Toledo, and the game

1321
01:11:48,760 --> 01:11:51,800
Speaker 9: is usually seen as an extension of that. But I

1322
01:11:51,840 --> 01:11:55,320
Speaker 9: think to your point, Jonas, I've been talking with people

1323
01:11:55,400 --> 01:11:59,240
Speaker 9: back home who are still rooting against Ryan Day in

1324
01:11:59,320 --> 01:12:01,320
Speaker 9: these playoffs just because they want a better.

1325
01:12:01,080 --> 01:12:02,080
Speaker 2: Excuse to fire him.

1326
01:12:02,600 --> 01:12:05,559
Speaker 9: And you know, you know the name comparison that comes

1327
01:12:05,640 --> 01:12:10,000
Speaker 9: up to and it's a dming name, J Cooper, John Cooper,

1328
01:12:10,080 --> 01:12:13,639
Speaker 9: who went I believe two ten and one against Michigan

1329
01:12:13,720 --> 01:12:16,320
Speaker 9: in his tenure there, and that's all you will ever

1330
01:12:16,360 --> 01:12:19,160
Speaker 9: know John Cooper for is that he could not beat Michigan.

1331
01:12:19,560 --> 01:12:22,160
Speaker 9: But this is this is what hangs over Ryan Day's

1332
01:12:22,160 --> 01:12:23,400
Speaker 9: head and should hang over.

1333
01:12:23,320 --> 01:12:26,600
Speaker 2: His head and bo John Cooper won like over one

1334
01:12:26,680 --> 01:12:29,040
Speaker 2: hundred games or something, yes the time.

1335
01:12:29,960 --> 01:12:32,240
Speaker 7: Yeah, I just want to say real like real quick

1336
01:12:32,280 --> 01:12:34,360
Speaker 7: from Nick Saban to say this, like it's really rich

1337
01:12:34,760 --> 01:12:37,320
Speaker 7: because like you would have needed he would have needed

1338
01:12:37,360 --> 01:12:40,400
Speaker 7: like secret service protection to go grocery shopping in Alabama

1339
01:12:40,720 --> 01:12:43,320
Speaker 7: if Bama ever lost like three straight to Auburn.

1340
01:12:43,200 --> 01:12:45,240
Speaker 9: Or Yeah, I was gonna say, like you you played

1341
01:12:45,240 --> 01:12:46,880
Speaker 9: the Iron Bowl and you're talking like.

1342
01:12:46,840 --> 01:12:50,240
Speaker 2: This, come on, yeah, yeah, and uh it's that's why

1343
01:12:50,240 --> 01:12:54,320
Speaker 2: I'm like, dude, like this is like Ohio State fans

1344
01:12:54,479 --> 01:12:59,080
Speaker 2: being so miserable and still great is hilarious.

1345
01:12:59,720 --> 01:13:01,920
Speaker 5: That's that's the point, Martin, what's going on?

1346
01:13:02,200 --> 01:13:04,240
Speaker 6: Jonas c The thing you said, Michigan fans are walking

1347
01:13:04,240 --> 01:13:06,719
Speaker 6: around like they won the national championship as a result

1348
01:13:06,800 --> 01:13:09,160
Speaker 6: of this. What you're missing is we did win the

1349
01:13:09,240 --> 01:13:12,439
Speaker 6: national championship last year and then the entirety of the

1350
01:13:12,520 --> 01:13:17,840
Speaker 6: program left, like eighteen seniors, Jim Harpen the team, right

1351
01:13:17,880 --> 01:13:20,679
Speaker 6: now that's up thirty on the Patriots is being coached

1352
01:13:20,720 --> 01:13:23,240
Speaker 6: by the coach, and the defensive coordinator is the same

1353
01:13:23,240 --> 01:13:26,120
Speaker 6: defensive coordinator that was coaching in the National Championship Game

1354
01:13:26,479 --> 01:13:32,120
Speaker 6: last year and still undefeated against their rivals, and got

1355
01:13:32,120 --> 01:13:34,720
Speaker 6: the quarterback that everybody wanted in the port like got

1356
01:13:34,720 --> 01:13:38,559
Speaker 6: Bryce Underwood. Yeah, this is the best possible scenario for Michigan,

1357
01:13:38,560 --> 01:13:40,840
Speaker 6: cause we're never gonna be just bad again and still

1358
01:13:40,840 --> 01:13:42,080
Speaker 6: will be in Ryan Day's head.

1359
01:13:42,280 --> 01:13:45,360
Speaker 4: That's why this is amazing. It is a super Bowl.

1360
01:13:45,560 --> 01:13:47,839
Speaker 5: It's also the best result for college football.

1361
01:13:47,840 --> 01:13:49,880
Speaker 2: The fact that this is even a conversation, like the

1362
01:13:49,880 --> 01:13:52,880
Speaker 2: fact that Michigan actually pulled it off, went into Ohiowa State.

1363
01:13:52,920 --> 01:13:54,559
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, man, we were on the air what

1364
01:13:54,720 --> 01:13:56,479
Speaker 2: was happening, And I'm like, dude, they thought it was

1365
01:13:56,479 --> 01:13:58,280
Speaker 2: going to be a coronation, like this is going to

1366
01:13:58,320 --> 01:14:01,880
Speaker 2: be three years for four years pent up frustration they

1367
01:14:01,880 --> 01:14:03,839
Speaker 2: were going to take out on Michigan. And the second

1368
01:14:03,880 --> 01:14:06,479
Speaker 2: they started trailing, I thought, oh god, you can feel

1369
01:14:06,520 --> 01:14:07,200
Speaker 2: them start.

1370
01:14:07,000 --> 01:14:07,639
Speaker 5: To stress out.

1371
01:14:07,640 --> 01:14:10,839
Speaker 9: The highest paid roster in the history of college football

1372
01:14:10,840 --> 01:14:13,679
Speaker 9: and you only scored ten points at home.

1373
01:14:14,760 --> 01:14:17,000
Speaker 5: But damn they look good last week I'll say they.

1374
01:14:16,880 --> 01:14:18,160
Speaker 1: Really did it.

1375
01:14:18,280 --> 01:14:20,400
Speaker 2: Is a Jonas Knox here Fox Sports Radio at the

1376
01:14:20,520 --> 01:14:22,640
Speaker 2: Jonasknox coming up next here though, we will close up

1377
01:14:22,640 --> 01:14:25,200

Speaker 2: it is time for this lock it.

1409
01:15:55,520 --> 01:16:00,880
Speaker 1: Let's lock it Knox Locks, all right.

1410
01:16:00,920 --> 01:16:04,839
Speaker 2: So we go back to last week, and last week

1411
01:16:05,280 --> 01:16:08,320
Speaker 2: we were sitting at five hundred looking to get over

1412
01:16:08,360 --> 01:16:11,599
Speaker 2: the hump. Haven't been over five hundred the entire season.

1413
01:16:12,560 --> 01:16:15,960
Speaker 2: Fought Claude to get back to five hundred, and so

1414
01:16:16,040 --> 01:16:17,880
Speaker 2: we decided, you know what, We're gonna ride on the

1415
01:16:17,880 --> 01:16:23,080
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh Steelers plus seven at Baltimore. They've had Lamar Jackson's number. Oops.

1416
01:16:23,800 --> 01:16:26,479
Speaker 2: Thankfully we kept it in the AFC North and we

1417
01:16:26,520 --> 01:16:29,440
Speaker 2: took the Bengals minus eight and a half over the Browns.

1418
01:16:29,920 --> 01:16:32,600
Speaker 2: Cincinnati gets it done for us there, and then we

1419
01:16:32,640 --> 01:16:35,840
Speaker 2: had the Vikings and the Seahawks, with Seattle getting three

1420
01:16:35,880 --> 01:16:38,439
Speaker 2: points at home. If you watch that game, you know

1421
01:16:38,600 --> 01:16:41,720
Speaker 2: that was exactly the score. So that was a push

1422
01:16:41,800 --> 01:16:45,200
Speaker 2: which gave us a one one and one week a

1423
01:16:45,240 --> 01:16:48,400
Speaker 2: week ago, which keeps us at twenty three twenty three

1424
01:16:48,479 --> 01:16:52,760
Speaker 2: and two. We will try this week to finally get

1425
01:16:52,760 --> 01:16:53,439
Speaker 2: over five.

1426
01:16:53,320 --> 01:16:58,080
Speaker 3: Hundred thought Broncos at Bengals, and we're gonna do it

1427
01:16:58,080 --> 01:16:59,960
Speaker 3: with old Faithful the Cincinnati Bank.

1428
01:17:01,520 --> 01:17:04,840
Speaker 2: I will take the Bengals minus the three at home.

1429
01:17:04,880 --> 01:17:06,920
Speaker 2: This game is kicking off a little over a half

1430
01:17:06,960 --> 01:17:10,000
Speaker 2: hour from now on NFL Network. Look, Denver's been a

1431
01:17:10,040 --> 01:17:13,880
Speaker 2: great story, but Cincinnati is alive. They are alive thanks

1432
01:17:13,880 --> 01:17:16,080
Speaker 2: to that Denver loss to the LA Chargers.

1433
01:17:16,080 --> 01:17:18,960
Speaker 5: If you remember, this was actually a flex game.

1434
01:17:20,000 --> 01:17:23,320
Speaker 2: Sean Payton was okay with this because he thought, listen,

1435
01:17:23,400 --> 01:17:27,320
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go ahead and flex out. We will accept

1436
01:17:27,320 --> 01:17:30,800
Speaker 2: the short week because it'll give us extra time for

1437
01:17:30,960 --> 01:17:33,200
Speaker 2: this game on the back end and getting ready for

1438
01:17:33,240 --> 01:17:35,720
Speaker 2: the Cincinnati Bengals. But I think the way the Cincinnati

1439
01:17:35,760 --> 01:17:38,400
Speaker 2: Bengals have been playing. I'm gonna roll with Cincy at

1440
01:17:38,439 --> 01:17:40,559
Speaker 2: home here, and I think they get it done. I

1441
01:17:40,600 --> 01:17:42,800
Speaker 2: think it also would be who the NFL. I'm not

1442
01:17:42,840 --> 01:17:45,559
Speaker 2: saying he pull any Shenanigans. As great of a story

1443
01:17:45,600 --> 01:17:48,800
Speaker 2: as Denver is. We'd love to see Cincinnati and Joe

1444
01:17:48,800 --> 01:17:49,880
Speaker 2: Burrow in the postseason.

1445
01:17:49,920 --> 01:17:51,280
Speaker 5: We would love to that is.

1446
01:17:51,240 --> 01:17:53,559
Speaker 2: A live dog if they were to get in there

1447
01:17:53,800 --> 01:17:56,040
Speaker 2: against either team they meet in the first round, with

1448
01:17:56,040 --> 01:17:58,880
Speaker 2: the way Joe Burrows playing quarterback. But I like Cincinnati

1449
01:17:58,920 --> 01:18:01,120
Speaker 2: in this spot. Give me the Bengals minus three.

1450
01:18:01,280 --> 01:18:04,479
Speaker 1: Boodeta Cold said Giants.

1451
01:18:04,360 --> 01:18:08,479
Speaker 2: So Anthony Richardson is out, Joe Flacco is in. I'm

1452
01:18:08,479 --> 01:18:11,280
Speaker 2: gonna go with the Giants here against my better judgment.

1453
01:18:11,320 --> 01:18:15,559
Speaker 2: I'll take the Giants plus seven and a half at home. Listen,

1454
01:18:15,640 --> 01:18:18,360
Speaker 2: Indianapolis is not a good team. If you're the Giants,

1455
01:18:18,360 --> 01:18:21,120
Speaker 2: can you just not suck out loud for another week?

1456
01:18:21,160 --> 01:18:22,959
Speaker 5: At least keep it within a touchdown.

1457
01:18:23,040 --> 01:18:25,120
Speaker 2: If you can do that, you would give us a

1458
01:18:25,160 --> 01:18:27,240
Speaker 2: win here against Joe Flacco.

1459
01:18:27,439 --> 01:18:30,000
Speaker 5: I'm gonna roll with New York here plus the seven.

1460
01:18:29,840 --> 01:18:33,000
Speaker 1: And a half book deta Packers and Vikings.

1461
01:18:33,200 --> 01:18:35,599
Speaker 2: I nearly took the Commanders minus three and a half,

1462
01:18:35,640 --> 01:18:37,920
Speaker 2: but something smelled fishy about the lines. I'm gonna take

1463
01:18:37,960 --> 01:18:41,679
Speaker 2: the Minnesota Vikings and Sam Darnold minus a point against

1464
01:18:41,720 --> 01:18:44,519
Speaker 2: Green Bay. I think they're the better team. I think

1465
01:18:44,560 --> 01:18:46,960
Speaker 2: they get it done in a tight one against the Packers.

1466
01:18:47,000 --> 01:18:49,519
Speaker 2: All go with Minnesota and that is your Week seventeen

1467
01:18:49,680 --> 01:18:51,840
