Speaker 4: You know, here's the thing.

17
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 5: I hit Week eighteen with a little bit of sorrow,

18
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,319
Speaker 5: but a lot of appreciation. You know, Like we've talked

19
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:08,960
Speaker 5: over the course of the last couple of months a

20
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 5: few times about the fact that, hey, you know, right

21
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 5: around the corner, this whole thing is gonna be ending, right,

22
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 5: we won't have any more NFL every single weekend and

23
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 5: there's something about Week eight team where I just look

24
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 5: around and it's like the last day in high school.

25
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 5: You're just you're hanging out with your buddies. You're like,

26
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 5: this has been fun. It's been it's been a wild ride.

27
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:30,399
Speaker 5: This season has been an incredibly interesting and hard to

28
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:31,040
Speaker 5: predict season.

29
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,199
Speaker 4: I'm not sure the football has been great. Who cares.

30
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 5: It's been entertaining, Like it's like a fast and furious movie.

31
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 5: You knew things were gonna blow up, the good guys win,

32
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 5: Like we got it all figured out here. Like there's

33
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 5: a sense of appreciation as we go into week eighteen.

34
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 3: For me, that's a great perspective.

35
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 2: Dude, that's a great perspective because I give you more

36
00:01:50,440 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 2: selfish sorrow. I appreciate that. Man, figgys don't Figgy's oh god,

37
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 2: he's gonna come to me today. He's gonna have the

38
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 2: same thing because I've been for years. I would bend

39
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:12,679
Speaker 2: Figgy's ear. I'd say, oh my god, it's almost over,

40
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 2: and then when it would be over, I would cry,

41
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 2: like it's terrible.

42
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 3: You know, like you have a great healthy attitude today.

43
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 5: I mean, but let's be honest, can we can we

44
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 5: all acknowledge that the Sunday after the Super Bowl is

45
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 5: the weirdest Sunday of the entire calendar year. Like you

46
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 5: just sit there on your couch and there's this weirdness

47
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 5: of am I supposed to do something? Then you realize,

48
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,799
Speaker 5: did I really spend the last several months not doing anything?

49
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 4: Like it wasted? Do I have?

50
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 5: Like is there a honey do list I'm supposed to

51
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 5: go out there and accomplish.

52
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 4: I don't know.

53
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 5: The Sunday after the super Bowl is always a weird one,

54
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:49,920
Speaker 5: but right now, I mean, heck, we still got like

55
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 5: we're actually gonna have weekends of good football coming at

56
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 5: us too, from at least presumably decent football teams.

57
00:02:55,880 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 3: Although oh yeah, well but left yeah have some good football.

58
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 2: I have an existential NBA problem too that I have

59
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 2: to throw what you guys, Yeah, yeah, No it's not.

60
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 2: It's depressing because that's to do with football. Good morning, figure,

61
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 2: Happy New Year.

62
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 1: Yes, Happy New year, gentlemen. Yeah, far beard from me

63
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,799
Speaker 1: to lament the fact that we're gonna not have a meaningless,

64
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:23,239
Speaker 1: you know, bad NFL football games moving forward, and only

65
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: good teams as we made to hit the postseason the

66
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: most exciting part of the year. Yes, I know it's

67
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: tough that the it's the end of the year and

68
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:31,959
Speaker 1: there's no more red zone and bouncing around from game

69
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: to game and having all the games going on at once.

70
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: But isn't this kind of what we look forward to

71
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: the best of the best as we gear up towards

72
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl? I think what it is, Anthony, you

73
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: have to live in the moment. I live in the moment.

74
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 5: I'm pushing back right away. I mean, now we've got

75
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 5: our first Fellows fight of the new year.

76
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: It's been five minutes into the show. Let's go.

77
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 5: I'm gonna be very clear to the entire world. I

78
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 5: would rather watch a Terrible Raiders game than any good

79
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 5: football I don't care. Like I would rather go on

80
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 5: there seeing my favorite team take the field and the

81
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 5: juice that you get when you know you're watching the

82
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 5: silver and black out there, that just does it for me, right, Like,

83
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 5: you know, look, we're gonna I've heard so many people

84
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 5: tell me, oh, the best weekend and all the year

85
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,599
Speaker 5: is Championship Sunday, where you've got the AFC and NFC

86
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 5: Championship because it's the four best teams. Let me be clear,

87
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 5: I would rather watch the Raiders play the Browns week

88
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 5: one of next season than I would ride then watch

89
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 5: the AFC NFC Championship.

90
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 3: I'm just saying, from watch week one.

91
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, week one week once about.

92
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, because week one, I know I have the whole

93
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 3: season aaded me.

94
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,479
Speaker 1: See, you're looking ahead to the end as opposed to

95
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 1: just appreciating the moment that we're actually living. That's the

96
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: thing I need you guys kind of just take a

97
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: couple of deep breaths and just appreciate where we are.

98
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: Why don't fast forward the calendar a month from now?

99
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:53,160
Speaker 1: The super Bowl is a month from now. Why right

100
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: now you want to watch?

101
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 5: Like I don't want to watch, you know, my buddy

102
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 5: go out on a date with the hot girl. I

103
00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,799
Speaker 5: want the hot girl date right Like so like watching

104
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:02,280
Speaker 5: some somebody else playing the AFC NFC championship game, I

105
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 5: don't care about that, Like I want my own AFC

106
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 5: NFC Championship. I mean, I care about it because I

107
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,840
Speaker 5: love football. But no, I'd rather watch Week one not

108
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 5: just because of what's coming, but just because I want

109
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:15,039
Speaker 5: to watch my favorite team play, like after after tomorrow.

110
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 5: The only way that's fascinating see.

111
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 2: You know, it's funny we all view it differently because

112
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 2: you view it strictly from the prism of your team.

113
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 2: I even like, even if the figure will tell you,

114
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,719
Speaker 2: like if last year the Eagles are, you know, in

115
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 2: the super Bowl and I was depressed because I mean,

116
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 2: you know, like listen, you know, I grew up an

117
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 2: Eagle fan, the whole thing. But I love football and

118
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,039
Speaker 2: you know what it is. And I'll give you this figgie.

119
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 2: I have an existential NBA problem. Last night, I'm watching

120
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 2: six Ers next it's just a bad.

121
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: Game, right, oh yeah, well bad game for one team.

122
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 3: And then you know I was watching, Yeah it was.

123
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 2: And then I'm watching and I you know, I had

124
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 2: the NBA thing, and I'm checking on Boston. That's a blowout,

125
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 2: and I'm looking around and Indiana it's fun. They go

126
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 2: up and down. Halid Burton's great, but you know whatever,

127
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 2: And then I'm going on on and I'm and I'm

128
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:24,840
Speaker 2: realizing that man, it's early January and I'm not into

129
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 2: it and I'm not getting into it until the playoffs.

130
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: So I like that about the NBA regular season. That's

131
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:33,159
Speaker 1: uh that you're excited.

132
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 2: Because it finally got me, like I watched this stuff

133
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 2: as a loser that I am but all the time.

134
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 3: But I got news for you.

135
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:48,159
Speaker 2: The NBA regular season really is it's just too much

136
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 2: meaningless ball.

137
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 5: Look, I don't I don't disagree with any of that.

138
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 5: I think part of what you're talking about, and this

139
00:06:58,640 --> 00:06:59,280
Speaker 5: is interesting to me.

140
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 4: I've never thought about it.

141
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,840
Speaker 5: So you just mentioned this, honestly, But when you think

142
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 5: about it, there is fatigue that sets in for a

143
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 5: lot of just casuals. Right in the NFL season. There's

144
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 5: fatigue maybe through the year where you've got to you know,

145
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 5: two terrible teams that have won three games all year

146
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 5: between them facing off in Week thirteen and we're sitting

147
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 5: there saying, God, why are we watching this matchup? Fatigue

148
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 5: sets in. I think that fatigue sets in earlier in

149
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 5: the NBA because the regular season just is not perceived

150
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 5: as this important piece, you know.

151
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 4: And this year.

152
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 5: What's interesting, we were talking about some of this the

153
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 5: other day with Yahoo. We're talking about the fact that

154
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 5: Minnesota sits in first place and nobody seems to even

155
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 5: be paying attention, you know, And yet again we're sitting

156
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 5: here with the Lakers outside the playoffs, and frankly, it's

157
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 5: not because the main two haven't played well, so like

158
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 5: what do you do with that? But I don't think

159
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 5: anybody's paying attention to any of that because you still

160
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 5: have months and months and months. Like in the NFL,

161
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 5: it feels like you have to watch it even if

162
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 5: it's bad, because it's really one day a week that

163
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 5: is this cultural phenomenon every night.

164
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 3: And I don't think it's bad. Now you have bad teams, yeah, no,

165
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 3: of course, but the products good. The product is way

166
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 3: better than the NBA product.

167
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 5: But if if two bad teams are playing, if you

168
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 5: don't have red Zone and you don't have Sunday ticket

169
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 5: and two bad teams are playing on your local market

170
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 5: on a Sunday, you watch because it's the one day

171
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 5: a week that it's a cultural phenomenon that is the NFL.

172
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 4: In the NBA, you could just.

173
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 2: Missed the Thursday like games Like I missed the Thursday.

174
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 2: I'm trying to figure out why. Like I would watch

175
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 2: every I mean every night. I would be in on NBA.

176
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 2: I love the NBA, right, so I'd be in on

177
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 2: the NBA every night, and really the last couple of

178
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 2: years and now this year I'm last night I'm just

179
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:48,200
Speaker 2: going stop doing it for me.

180
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 1: Well, go ahead, I don't understand. I mean, I look,

181
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: I understand. I guess why that is to your point,

182
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 1: And we've talked about it for the through the years

183
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 1: on this show that the regular season maybe a little

184
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 1: bit too long, drags on a little bit, find a

185
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:04,679
Speaker 1: way to make things more interesting. I think that's what

186
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: they at least attempted to do with the Ncason Tournament.

187
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 1: Didn't do a whole lot for a lot of people,

188
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 1: me included. When it comes to that. I also think

189
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 1: it's just a tough perspective at this point in time

190
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 1: because we do still have football on the calendar, and

191
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 1: it's also very easy for us to say, at this

192
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 1: very moment in time on January sixth, you know where

193
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 1: are we going to be on March eighth, when there's

194
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 1: nothing going on football wise, and really all we're going

195
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: to have is gearing up for the NCAA Tournament and

196
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: gearing up for the NBA postseason. I think that it's

197
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 1: going to change a little bit, but we still are

198
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: still in the midst of fightball.

199
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 2: Being on the calendar right now. No, I think you're right.

200
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:41,319
Speaker 2: I think the NBA like I'll get way more into

201
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 2: like I'll gear back into it as you are towards

202
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 2: the playoffs. But I man, I you know, I mean

203
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 2: it's it's not the best product in season.

204
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 4: Because let me let me ask you a question.

205
00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 5: As somebody that loves the NBA, you also love and

206
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 5: we make a lot of movie and music analogies on

207
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 5: the show. When you're going in and you're seeing some

208
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 5: sort of an action movie, we can all agree that

209
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 5: no matter what it is, good or bad movie, you

210
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:13,680
Speaker 5: need a hook at the beginning, something that really brings

211
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 5: you in, right, Like, there has to be a moment.

212
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,679
Speaker 5: Whatever movie you're watching, you got the first ten to

213
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 5: fifteen minutes to really capture you.

214
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 4: Right.

215
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 5: Yes, I would argue that that's what the NBA is

216
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 5: missing most nights. I don't as a I'd say that

217
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,679
Speaker 5: I'm past a casual, but not a diehard. That's why

218
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,320
Speaker 5: I'm on the NBA. And what's interesting to me is

219
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 5: that when I turn on a game, I don't feel

220
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 5: electricity from the players.

221
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 4: I don't feel.

222
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 5: Electricity from the broadcast. I don't feel electricity from the arena.

223
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 5: Nothing feels special. I don't feel like, oh my god,

224
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 5: I have to watch.

225
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 4: This, and that's what a great movie. Like.

226
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 5: When we were playing concerts, you certainly didn't wait till

227
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 5: six songs in to get somebody into your set, right like,

228
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 5: you got to come out with a banger, Gotta get

229
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 5: him in right away, got to lock them in. The

230
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 5: NBA lacks that lock them in moment because there is

231
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 5: not the same intensity from the fans of players, the coaches,

232
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 5: from everybody early on in the season, when we're just

233
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 5: flipping through. And if I'm just flipping through and you

234
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 5: got me for three four minutes, man, that three four

235
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,559
Speaker 5: minutes better capture me. They better catch me, and they don't.

236
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 5: And so if they don't catch me, you just keep

237
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 5: flipping through and through and through. I don't know how

238
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:20,679
Speaker 5: you manufacture intensity when you simply have more games.

239
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 4: That players don't care about as much.

240
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 2: And then the only game, like I'll tell you, the

241
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 2: only game that I lot that caught me last night

242
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 2: was you know, the Pacers are nuts because they play

243
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 2: at such a high pace and I love watching hal

244
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,439
Speaker 2: Burton play, right yep. But that but then the game

245
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,679
Speaker 2: becomes a blowout quick and then you know that's it,

246
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 2: right that was the first half was kind of fun,

247
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 2: and then it died out and then it was just

248
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 2: like very little intensity. I just don't feel like I

249
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 2: think Fitzi's right in that there's the energy, doesn't feel

250
00:11:58,760 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 2: like it's there.

251
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 1: Well, the problem with the NBA is when you have,

252
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 1: you know, twenty games or fifteen games or whatever it

253
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 1: is on a given night, sometimes it can be hard

254
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,719
Speaker 1: to parse through which ones are the most important to

255
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 1: have the most intensity too of them. But I mean,

256
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 1: if you, I don't know if you watched any of

257
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,439
Speaker 1: that San Antonio Milwaukee game the other night, are you telling.

258
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 2: Me that.

259
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 5: There?

260
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 1: Did you see did you see Boston take on Oklahoma

261
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 1: City the other night? I think that was one twenty

262
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,319
Speaker 1: five and one twenty eight or something. There was intensity

263
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 1: between two really good team right with phenomenal talks.

264
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 3: Now, you're right about the Bucks Burs game.

265
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 1: So it's it's good fun.

266
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 2: Web Web was and Weby had me like, you know,

267
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 2: Weby's interesting.

268
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 1: So I'm just saying that those games do exist, and

269
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 1: they might be few and far between at times. You're

270
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:45,200
Speaker 1: right there, they are there.

271
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 4: You can't you can't.

272
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 5: I hear you on that, and I think you're right,

273
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 5: and your specific examples are absolutely one hundred percent correct.

274
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 4: They were great games to watch.

275
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 5: I guess in part of my thought process here, having

276
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 5: not really thought about this until these moments, but part

277
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,959
Speaker 5: of my thought process here is that, like you start

278
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 5: to know as the season wears on in the NFL,

279
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 5: what teams bring that energy, what teams don't. You start

280
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 5: to know consistently, like what you're gonna watch, and if

281
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 5: you don't like what you're watching in a red zone world,

282
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,319
Speaker 5: you got twenty other games you can you can find

283
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 5: the best one. I don't know that the NBA product

284
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 5: makes it as easy to do that. So, like, again,

285
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,959
Speaker 5: it's just tougher because more often than not, if I

286
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:23,959
Speaker 5: flip on the NBA on a Tuesday night and I

287
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 5: don't like what's happening, I just flip it off right

288
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 5: Like I'm just I'm not on Sunday. You're you're in

289
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 5: this moment, You're in the thick of it. And because

290
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 5: you're in the thick of it, and it's the one

291
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,080
Speaker 5: day that you have all of these games going on

292
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,960
Speaker 5: at once, to flip through capability is better.

293
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 4: Like, I just don't know that consistently.

294
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 5: Like your examples are great, but I mean, am I

295
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 5: watching Wemby every night to see that same level of

296
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 5: intensity from the Spurs. No, like it happens some nights

297
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 5: when it's a big matchup and we're paying attention because

298
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 5: it's against Giannis. You know, we're paying attention to Jaw

299
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 5: dunking on somebody. But like that's a much different, Like

300
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 5: that's not a consistent every night thing even from those teams.

301
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 1: Now, for the nfls and just football in general, because

302
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:04,680
Speaker 1: of how it's set up, is just easier to track.

303
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,199
Speaker 1: Like you know, on a Sunday, you're watching eight games

304
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 1: at once and you can bounce around. If the NBA

305
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 1: had a schedule where you knew they played Monday, Wednesday, Friday,

306
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 1: everybody played in two different windows, it might be easier

307
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: to kind of sift through and flip over through games

308
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 1: that you think might be better versus another. Because teams

309
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 1: that have such staggered schedules and they play seven nights

310
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 1: a week, you just don't know what there could be

311
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 1: a game, a night full of dog games and a

312
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 1: night full of really good games and some in between.

313
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 1: It just makes it more difficult to kind of pick

314
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 1: those out. So I do think the NFL is football

315
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: in generals, that didn't hear an advantage because of the

316
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 1: way it's set up.

317
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I hear you. Listen, I feel you like

318
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 2: the Magic are a good story. And I guess, you know,

319
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 2: I watched, Yeah, you know, I guess what I'll do is,

320
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 2: you know, I guess after that, at some point the

321
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 2: season will be over and I'll, you know, just find

322
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 2: myself there.

323
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 3: And it's more of a.

324
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 2: Of a mourning the loss of Paul than anything else,

325
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 2: and probably that's kind of what it is.

326
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 1: Look, I certainly understand it. But there are there are

327
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 1: good teams to look forward to watching in the NBA.

328
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 1: We mentioned a couple already. Indy, the Celtics are really good.

329
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 1: The Clippers are on fire right now. Celtic do I

330
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 1: hate the Celtics too. I grew up in now Los Angeles,

331
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 1: trust me, but they're They're a phenomenal team. Minnesota is excellence,

332
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 1: the best record in the Western Conference where they got

333
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 1: a good young team and one of the best players

334
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 1: in the NBA there. So I mean there's you know,

335
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 1: the Mavericks have Luca didn't even play the other night

336
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 1: and they still dropping one forty. There's some good stories

337
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 1: in the NBA.

338
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, there are.

339
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 5: But as we've talked about before, I'll just say this quickly.

340
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 5: If Minnesota doesn't lose another game for the rest of

341
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 5: the season and then goes out and loses in the playoffs,

342
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 5: nobody will remember this season. That's the other part of

343
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 5: it that is very like because regular season success does

344
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 5: not translate to postseason success, and because of the way.

345
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 4: We cover it, like it's hard.

346
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 5: It's hard for me to sit here and sell somebody

347
00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 5: man start watching Minnesota every night because if they're in

348
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 5: their questions, ooh they can win the chip maybe, and

349
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 5: if they don't, then it all feels like it was

350
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 5: for not and useless.

351
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, I'd say in most years in the NBA,

352
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 1: more than any other sport usually that the cream rises

353
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 1: to the top every single time, but the top couple

354
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 1: of teams in the conference generally speaking, or right at

355
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 1: least in the conference finals every single year. You can

356
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 1: say that in basketball more than any other sport, just

357
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 1: because of the way the talent is distributed.

358
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, no, I feel you, all right, I

359
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 2: got one thing. Happy birthday, Shay.

00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,440

370
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 6: bag and they put all the spices in it and

371
00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 6: like they sovey it. Have you guys had that before?

372
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:05,360
Speaker 5: Okay, yes, I've had a crabil crap like or crawfish

373
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:08,200
Speaker 5: boil either one. But you just said they survey it.

374
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 6: Is that what they do?

375
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 4: Okay?

376
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,920
Speaker 5: Like okay down in like in New Orleans. That like

377
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 5: they're not out there doing like fancy cheffing techniques to it.

378
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:17,360
Speaker 5: They're just putting it in the bag and shake. That's

379
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:19,879
Speaker 5: just just very.

380
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 6: And shake it very. I thought they survey it. I

381
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 6: thought they like survey it in the bag.

382
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 5: Maybe they cook it in the bag, but they also

383
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 5: cook it in the bag. Like what what he ain't

384
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 5: using any of them terms down it like that that

385
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 5: that is not happening, Like I don't know man, that

386
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:36,640

00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 6: A very thing, just cooking it in the bag.

388
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 5: Well again, though, we're using terms here that I don't

389
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:44,440

390

448
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:57,800

450
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 2: the clock stops, and the Texas viewers comes down the

451
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 2: field and he's got real chances to win the game.

452
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,879
Speaker 2: That was such an amazing New Year's Day of football.

453
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:19,480

458
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,840

467
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 5: you know, Washington. It's got the ball, though, run the

468
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 5: clock out. I'm gonna go ahead and make my video.

469
00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,239
Speaker 5: And all of a sudden, I go to look at

470
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 5: the stat line while I'm talking to the camera, I'm

471
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:01,919
Speaker 5: getting out.

472
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 4: I do the little like tab over.

473
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:05,679
Speaker 5: So I can see the final stat line, and I

474
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 5: see in the court of my eye Dylan Johnson get hurt,

475
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:11,159
Speaker 5: stops the clock and I look the say looking at

476
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 5: a camera, I said, son of a biscuit, like I

477
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 5: because here I am. I'm halfway through my video, and

478
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 5: all of a sudden, now we don't know what's gonna happen.

479
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 5: It's crazy that the end of that game got as

480
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,440
Speaker 5: wild as it did. I just have one, like one

481
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:25,119
Speaker 5: general beef right now because I keep hearing people tell me,

482
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 5: oh my god, Michael Pennix Junior played in a way

483
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,640
Speaker 5: we haven't seen all Like, tell me you haven't watched

484
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,440
Speaker 5: Washington football all year? Without telling me you haven't watched

485
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,119
Speaker 5: Washington if you thought that most of that game was

486
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 5: outside the norm of who they've been as an offense,

487
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 5: particularly this year, Like, at what point are we just

488
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 5: going to start respecting that football team?

489
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 2: I dude, we talked about this only show yep. We

490
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 2: talked about this last week. We talked about it again.

491
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 2: They're good. Panix is great, the receivers are great. The

492
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 2: NFL it's it's yeah. The nobody goes down the field

493
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 2: like them and that, and that's what's gonna be very

494
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 2: interesting because they're gonna be able to go down to

495
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 2: field on Michigan. That's that's This game's gonna be incredible.

496
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 2: I think this game is gonna be incredible. What do

497
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:15,920
Speaker 2: you think, fake?

498
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 1: I'm one hundred percent with you, guys. It's contrasting styles,

499
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 1: you know, the high flying offense is almost like the

500
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 1: nineteen sixties Packers versus the greatest show on turf. To

501
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,200
Speaker 1: a certain degree, Michigan wants to make it ugly, run

502
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 1: the ball up and down the field, eat up some

503
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:30,680
Speaker 1: klock in. Washington wants to throw the ball all over

504
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,399
Speaker 1: the place it really is. And maybe you guys can

505
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 1: think of one. But from a national championship standpoint, I

506
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,400
Speaker 1: really don't know which way it's gonna go, because these

507
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 1: teams are just so fundamentally different in how they're built

508
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 1: and how they play, more so than any other two

509
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,679
Speaker 1: teams that I can remember playing in this game throughout

510
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:48,120
Speaker 1: the course of the fourteen playoff.

511
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 4: I think both teams are.

512
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 5: Gonna get fed because of that, though, Figgy like, I mean, look,

513
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,440
Speaker 5: I think Blake korm is gonna have a huge game.

514
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:58,400
Speaker 5: I think Blake korm is gonna go off and that's

515
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,120
Speaker 5: gonna be amazing to watch. I don't think Washington can

516
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 5: slow down the way he runs the football. But conversely,

517
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:08,200
Speaker 5: if you're Michigan, your method has been we're gonna disrupt

518
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:11,239
Speaker 5: the pocket, We're going to take over, And I don't know,

519
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 5: I know everybody keeps hiving Pact twelve teams. It's still

520
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,160
Speaker 5: the Joe Moore Award winning offensive line for a reason

521
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 5: they communicate well. So part of Alabama's problem is communication

522
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 5: on the front end. So I think if you can

523
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 5: leave Pennick junior, like, if he can stay standing, and

524
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:26,920
Speaker 5: I believe he will be able to, then he's gonna

525
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 5: be able to carve up Michigan secondary. Like this honestly

526
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,120
Speaker 5: feels to me like you're going to have to get

527
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 5: to the mid thirties to have any shot at winning

528
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:34,399
Speaker 5: this football.

529
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I completely agree, and I'll be honest with you.

530
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:44,920
Speaker 2: McCarthy has to like, you can't just ride Korm. I love,

531
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 2: I love Korm, but you just can't ride him. Yeah,

532
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 2: that Washington pass defense is not good. Yep, Right, You're

533
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:55,680
Speaker 2: going to have to and and Washington will have explosive

534
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,399
Speaker 2: scores like we like, you know, he's going to go

535
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:01,400
Speaker 2: down the field, listen, should get its your of sacks

536
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 2: right and you're like you saw Alabama the first the

537
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:09,159
Speaker 2: first half, first quarter, they were they were in his

538
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:10,200
Speaker 2: grill all day.

539
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 3: Right.

540
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:13,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, Now, I will say too, like Michael Pennix just

541
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 1: doesn't get sacked because on top of by the way

542
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,160
Speaker 1: that you know, everybody talked about the Texas front seven

543
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:21,120
Speaker 1: and now great they were, and the a few times

544
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:24,200
Speaker 1: they did get pressure of Michael Pennis, he just slid

545
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 1: it to the side, slide to the left, slide to

546
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 1: the right extra time. And that's just something that that

547
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 1: you know, Alabama's quarterback just wasn't able to do and

548
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:34,200
Speaker 1: really hadn't been able to do all season long, and

549
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 1: talking about him, he thrived on being able to sit

550
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 1: back in the pocket and take deep shots and that

551
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 1: really was the reason why their offense took off on

552
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 1: this the second half of the season. Well is also

553
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 1: a game Yeah, it's a game changer.

554
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 2: He's ridiculous and and he's like you see the difference

555
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 2: the rawness from Milroe right right to now, you know,

556
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:58,360
Speaker 2: Panics reminds me like of an NFL veteran, no doubt

557
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 2: he's got that. The way he now navigates the pocket.

558
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 2: So like, I agree with it, But Michigan still still

559
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:07,160
Speaker 2: will pressure him. He's going to complete He's they're gonna

560
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 2: minley play is they're gonna go down the field and

561
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:12,399
Speaker 2: they're gonna you're gonna get some big plays. Mischig just

562
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 2: can't run the ball like they're gonna need McCarthy to

563
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 2: match because the Washington pass defense will give you plays.

564
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 1: Right, and that was my only thought. Fits. Ye, I

565
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 1: do think Korm is gonna have a good game, but

566
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 1: I also believe Washington basically is gonna dare J McCarthy

567
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 1: to beat him.

568
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't disagree with that as an approach.

569
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 5: And by the way, I think Harball's constant you know, oh,

570
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,119
Speaker 5: JJ McCarthy's the best college quarterback maybe of alt I

571
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,359
Speaker 5: like all he's doing is like, I mean yeah, Like

572
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:42,199
Speaker 5: I'm frankly to be very transparent. I'm gonna go to

573
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 5: media days right after this show where we have the

574
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:46,720
Speaker 5: opportunity to try and talk to the coaches. And my

575
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:49,720
Speaker 5: question to Harball if I get the opportunity to ask,

576
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 5: what will be about that? Like, why does he keep

577
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:54,640
Speaker 5: telling the world that JJ McCarthy is one of, if

578
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 5: not the best college quarterbacks of all time, yet he

579
00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:59,439
Speaker 5: won't let the offense open up to take advantage of it.

580
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 4: Right, It makes no sense in my mind.

581
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 5: If he's just this great, incredible quarterback the way that

582
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 5: Hardball is talking him up, then you should be comfortable

583
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:11,120
Speaker 5: with that. I think that's the right approach at times

584
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 5: to beating Washington. But I also think that you know,

585
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 5: we'll go back to what keeps Washington's offense on the

586
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 5: field is controlling the life. I don't know that Washington's

587
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:20,919
Speaker 5: defense honestly is gonna be able to stop most of

588
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 5: what Michigan does. Like I could see Korum just going

589
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,359
Speaker 5: off and JJ still having some big moments. It's the

590
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 5: real question here is can Michigan get enough stops to

591
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 5: keep this thing in like right now?

592
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 4: I mean, definitely, I put my money on Washington to cover.

593
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:36,879
Speaker 5: I just can't figure out if Washington's actually gonna win

594
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 5: this football game.

595
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 4: I think they have a really good shot at it.

596
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 3: I do too. I do too. I think they have

597
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 3: a really good chance. I like him.

598
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,439
Speaker 1: I'm actually surprised that, and I believe, unless it's been

599
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:53,640
Speaker 1: updated in the last day or so, I mean, Michigan

600
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 1: is still favored by what four points or something like that. Yeah,

601
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm surprised by the ad words. I thought

602
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:01,159
Speaker 1: this should be a pick them, and I mean, if not,

603
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:03,440
Speaker 1: I would have Washington favor by a point or two.

604
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 1: I'm surprised that Michigan is favored, especially by more than

605
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:08,199
Speaker 1: a field goal. That really surprised me.

606
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 5: An interesting nugget on the gambling side was that before

607
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:14,439
Speaker 5: the playoff games actually happened. You know, they do the

608
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 5: future spread on what the games would look like, and

609
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 5: the largest spread of any possible outcome from the semi

610
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 5: final before the semifinal was played was Michigan over Washington.

611
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 5: At the time, they set that line at almost seven,

612
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 5: and so it tells you how much they thought of Washington.

613
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,159
Speaker 5: Then Washington gets the win over Texas, and then you know,

614
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,439
Speaker 5: the it opens and it's moved a little bit.

615
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:37,400
Speaker 4: I got it at four and a half.

616
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 5: But I just I feel like at some point it's

617
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 5: just about the fact that every single week people just, oh, no,

618
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 5: this is the week it's going to fall apart.

619
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 4: For Washington. It's like, guess what has Every time.

620
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 1: It's calling back to the Oregon game. I mean they've

621
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 1: been underdogs for the last I feel like four games

622
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 1: they've played, and they've answered the bell every time.

623
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, and listen, maybe I don't know what is the

624
00:28:57,560 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 2: Utah game.

625
00:28:58,360 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 3: There's a couple of games.

626
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, why to the Apple the Apple Cup? Yeah, it

627
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 1: was a close one. The Arizona State game they played

628
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 1: horribly and found a way to win. They definitely have

629
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 1: won by the skin of their teeth. To a certain

630
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 1: degree can't deny that.

631
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 2: No, I but but they're so dynamic, they really are.

632
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 2: I also don't think Texas.

633
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 1: Is that good. Uh well yeah, I mean.

634
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 2: What like honestly, like and I know we talked of

635
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 2: this a million times, you know, and you couldn't put

636
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 2: Georgia in because of Alabama but losing the Texas, But

637
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 2: Georgia is better now than Texas.

638
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I'm not sure Alabama's all like right, I mean,

639
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 5: I think in this moment, let's say it this way.

640
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 5: Alabama was certainly a flawed team in the semi final

641
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 5: and we saw that. And Texas had some flaws of

642
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 5: their in the semi final and we saw that. But

643
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 5: I don't I don't know that. I look, Georgia might

644
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 5: be better than all of them, but in this situation,

645
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 5: I don't know. I mean, Georgia couldn't figure out a

646
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 5: way to handle Jalen Milroe. Georgia's defense couldn't figure out

647
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 5: a way to get past Alabama. Washington's a much more

648
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 5: dynamic offense than Alabama could present to anybody.

649
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 4: I know, they're different, you know, styles make fights, But.

650
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 3: More about Georgia versus Texas.

651
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah, No, I mean Georgia is a better

652
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:18,480
Speaker 5: team than I think george is probably a better team

653
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 5: than Texas. But also that feels like that feels like

654
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 5: a little revisionist history, only because a few weeks ago,

655
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 5: everybody was sitting there saying, well, Texas might actually be

656
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 5: the best team in the country. Not everybody, but a

657
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 5: lot of people were saying, well.

658
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 2: I was arguing for Georgia, which is why I bring

659
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 2: it up now. It's more self serving that I never

660
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 2: believed in Texas.

661
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 1: So it was more considering how the rolls ball specifically

662
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 1: played out. I mean, if all things were equal, and

663
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 1: let's say that, you know, everybody was healthy and nobody

664
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 1: opted out, and Florida State actually made it in, do

665
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:54,880
Speaker 1: we believe that Florida State couldn't have put up the

666
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 1: same effort that Alabama put up against Michigan. I think

667
00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 1: they could have easily. Really yeah, absolutely, I don't think

668
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 1: they're any good. I didn't think Forest State was any good.

669
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 1: All right, Well, that's i'd sorted considering how good they

670
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 1: have been defensively all season long. If Jordan Travis is healthy,

671
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 1: they put up at least as good of an effort

672
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 1: in my opinion as Alabama put up in that game.

673
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 4: I think if Jordan Travis was healthy, I would give

674
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:21,959
Speaker 4: you that that. I think that. Yeah, I think they

675
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 4: could have been.

676
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 2: I think they came out quickly interesting. It'd be interesting.

677
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 2: It's interesting. Yeah, I don't. I don't see that one

678
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 2: I think is why I do say. I see some trending.

679
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 1: Oh, I see a lot of NBA, Anthony, I know

680
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 1: you're looking forward to that.

681
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 3: I told you existential problem.

682
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 1: I know, I understand. I understand. We'll start with some

683
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 1: of some Left Coast basketball from Friday night, Warriors beating

684
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 1: the Pistons one thirteen to one on nine step Curry

685
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 1: scoring twenty six points. The big story out of that game,

686
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 1: Chris Paul left in the third quarter with the hand

687
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 1: injury later diagnosed as a fractured left hand and it's

688
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 1: going to require surgeries. To a tough blow there for

689
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 1: a Golden State Memphis beating the Lakers one twenty seven

690
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:06,560
Speaker 1: to one thirteen. How about Marcus Smart making nine three

691
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 1: pointers scored a team high twenty nine points for the griz.

692
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 1: La has lost four games in a row. A triple

693
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 1: double for de Monta Sabonis as the Kings defeated Toronto

694
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 1: one thirty five to one thirty Clippers, the hottest team

695
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 1: in the NBA. They've won fourteen of their last sixteen games,

696
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 1: with Anthony's favorite former Sixer James Harden one eleven to

697
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 1: ninety five victory there over New Orleans for the Clips, Dallas,

698
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 1: Chicago and the Knicks, also with victories New York hammering

699
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 1: the Sixers one twenty eight to ninety two. In college basketball,

700
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 1: top rank Purdue with verb which FIRB, what do you mean? Hammering?

701
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:44,239
Speaker 1: Just a college basketball perdue beating Illinois eighty three to

702
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 1: seventy eight. They improved a fourteen and one on the season.

703
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 1: Fourth ranked Yukon picking up an eighty eight to eighty

704
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:52,560
Speaker 1: one win over Butler. Some injury news out of the NFL.

705
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 1: Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence expected to be a game time decision,

706
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 1: officially listed as questionable for that matchup against the Titans

707
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 1: on Sunday as he nurses a shoulder injury. Falcons quarterback

708
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:04,920

725
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 2: I know you're down there, finci uh so, I forgot

726
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:04,240
Speaker 2: you were down there so far.

727
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:06,240
Speaker 5: It's it's you know, I mean, it's early in the

728
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:09,440
Speaker 5: morning today, I got yesterday. People are starting to flock in.

729
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:12,880
Speaker 5: It's not yet slammed, but I did you know me,

730
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:13,839
Speaker 5: I'm gonna go do.

731
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:15,239
Speaker 4: Orange Theory no matter where.

732
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 5: Went to Orange Theery in Houston yesterday a bunch of

733
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 5: Washington fans, bunch of us so based solely on the

734
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:22,880
Speaker 5: T shirts I've seen there. And then I went to

735
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 5: the Fan Experience thing yesterday. It feels like the Washington

736
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 5: fans are already out and here. That doesn't surprise me, though.

737
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 5: I think given the history of both of these teams

738
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:32,920
Speaker 5: and both of these programs and how long it's been,

739
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:36,240
Speaker 5: I honestly think it's just gonna be an absolute madhouse

740
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 5: all weekend. I feel like even people without tickets are

741
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:40,719
Speaker 5: gonna be coming down here just to try and be

742
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:42,400
Speaker 5: around the experience and the environment.

743
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:44,840
Speaker 4: So it's it's it's it's gonna be electric.

744
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:48,160
Speaker 5: It's always electric anyway, but I feel like with these

745
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 5: two particular teams in this city, it's gonna be pretty spectacular.

746
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:55,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's. Uh, I love it, man. It's

747
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:58,040
Speaker 3: such a great match up. The whole thing. It's it's

748
00:34:58,040 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 3: gonna be a lot of fun. And you know what

749
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 3: the best is, guys.

750
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:04,960
Speaker 2: I mean, college football is going to be awesome next

751
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 2: year because you have the expanded playoffs. I was talking

752
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:14,480
Speaker 2: with buddy of mine who's works for a big program,

753
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:19,919
Speaker 2: and he said that he loves the He thinks what's

754
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:22,359
Speaker 2: going to happen is do you remember the idea we

755
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 2: talked about with like the AFC and the NFC, basically

756
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 2: the big ten in the SEC.

757
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:30,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, like that, that's how it will.

758
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 2: The alignment will wind up, and then there'll be all

759
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:37,799
Speaker 2: the divisions for all the teams, and then everybody else

760
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:40,719
Speaker 2: will will be like a secondary league like in the

761
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:43,800
Speaker 2: NIT type of thing, and then there'll be relegation.

762
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:47,920
Speaker 5: Here's here's my big question for you, with all of

763
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 5: this expansion happening, with all of the changes happening, if

764
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:55,279
Speaker 5: Washington wins the National Championship Monday Night next year, when

765
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:57,720
Speaker 5: they come into the Big ten, is there some moment

766
00:35:57,760 --> 00:35:59,880
Speaker 5: here where the Big ten claims him as a champion?

767
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 1: Right?

768
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:06,359
Speaker 2: That's a violation. I mean, that's a violation. I don't

769
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 2: figure would lose his mind.

770
00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:11,800
Speaker 1: I mean, technically they would not be a Big Champion

771
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 1: as a Big ten representative since they don't join the

772
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:15,960
Speaker 1: Big Ten I believe until August first, So.

773
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:19,560
Speaker 5: But they would still be the reigning champions when they

774
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 5: joined the Big Ten.

775
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:28,879
Speaker 1: Eh Nah, that's a violation. I'm sorry, by the way,

776
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:31,160
Speaker 1: I will respect them to a certain degree for trying it,

777
00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:33,120
Speaker 1: but that's not gonna fly. No.

778
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 3: Well, you, especially the way you feel about the PAC twelve.

779
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 1: Now, the interesting thing is the PAC two. Whenever they

780
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 1: have hanging on left. You know are Washington State, Oregon State,

781
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:46,440
Speaker 1: and it's like, you know, you guys won the national championship.

782
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:48,200
Speaker 1: There's a trophy that goes to the conference, or the

783
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:51,719
Speaker 1: trophy that goes to the team. The conference is the

784
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:53,920
Speaker 1: two of us. Let's let's get our get that conference

785
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 1: trophy and send it on this way, send it to

786
00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 1: the Pacific Northwest and keep it here with the pack

787
00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:00,960
Speaker 1: two pack. Yeah.

788
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 5: And to the point of relegation, I think if relegation

789
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:07,640
Speaker 5: was added to every sport in every league, in every

790
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 5: possible way, it would be amazing.

791
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:11,600
Speaker 4: Like I am, I am such a fan.

792
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:14,680
Speaker 2: Of that's a way to actually, yeah, I mean, that's

793
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:17,799
Speaker 2: a way to pump up the via regular season. Is

794
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:22,160
Speaker 2: that your franchise is going down. The problem is there's

795
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 2: no other ways. It only works at college football because

796
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:29,880
Speaker 2: you need, you know, massive numbers of teams.

797
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:33,480
Speaker 1: Well even in college football, when you're talking about conferences

798
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:36,440
Speaker 1: and power fives and groups of fives and revenue distributions

799
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 1: with TV contracts. I'm sure there's a way around it,

800
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 1: and I'm not smart enough to figure it all out,

801
00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:43,759
Speaker 1: but it's tough to tell. Hey, all right, Vanderbilt, you're

802
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:47,160
Speaker 1: playing Western Kentucky and whoever loses goes down. It's like, well,

803
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:50,359
Speaker 1: we allotted, we allocated all this money for our leg

804
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 1: athletic department next year, and we can't turn this all

805
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:56,960
Speaker 1: around based on one game here in December. Look, I'm

806
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:58,880
Speaker 1: sure there's some way around it eventually in the future

807
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:00,400
Speaker 1: and they can figure it out, but that that's a

808
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:03,279
Speaker 1: tough hurdle to have to jump through, even though because look,

809
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:05,520
Speaker 1: usually at the end of the season we talk about

810
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:08,240
Speaker 1: these ball games that people feel are meaningless. I still

811
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:10,080
Speaker 1: like them. I don't know fits is really into a

812
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:12,279
Speaker 1: lot of them as well, But these ball games are

813
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:16,359
Speaker 1: flipped to turn into pop tar and Mayo. I mean

814
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:18,760
Speaker 1: it was pop Tart was cool. I like that, although

815
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:20,719
Speaker 1: I to be a pop Tart man, I don't know

816
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:22,600
Speaker 1: if I want to win the Mayo bawl sometime about

817
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:23,440
Speaker 1: again dumped.

818
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:28,920
Speaker 5: With cultural phenomenon, but you got to shower a lot afterwards.

819
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:32,360
Speaker 5: Like the other part of relegation from the college football

820
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:34,359
Speaker 5: standpoint that I think we have to acknowledge is that

821
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:38,279
Speaker 5: not everybody in the conferences want the Vandy's out. Like

822
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:40,719
Speaker 5: I talked to one SEC team a couple of years ago,

823
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:44,759
Speaker 5: you know, making the Vanderbilt particular conversation because let's face it,

824
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:47,160
Speaker 5: they don't invest in athletics and to the to the

825
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:49,239
Speaker 5: right degree, and they never have and they don't care,

826
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 5: like their student body largely doesn't care. I learned that

827
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 5: national over time talking to people there, and I was

828
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:57,359
Speaker 5: asking one person in the SEC a couple of years ago,

829
00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 5: you know, at what point do you guys kick Vandy out?

830
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:02,520
Speaker 5: And I got laughed at and the answer that I'll

831
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:05,040
Speaker 5: never forget was we want Vandy in the SEC because

832
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 5: not only does it help some of the academics. Sure,

833
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:09,400
Speaker 5: that's great, it's an in conference win. You know you're

834
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:12,040
Speaker 5: gonna get every single year. Like that's a real thing

835
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:14,960
Speaker 5: for some of these like hey we you could say.

836
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:18,400
Speaker 3: Each other, yeah, we necessary.

837
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:20,919
Speaker 1: It's a built in victory along with the other three

838
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:24,239
Speaker 1: non conference built in victories SEC gets every year. So sure,

839
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:24,799
Speaker 1: I get it.

840
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 4: I mean, if you're Tennessee, you're starting every year. Want

841
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:28,719
Speaker 4: to know because you know you got Bandy coming up.

842
00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:31,640
Speaker 1: That's right right after Valdasta state that your scheduled.

843
00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:35,480
Speaker 3: The week before Figott state.

844
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:40,000
Speaker 1: Hey, I'll take the payout by all means, I'll go

845
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:41,560
Speaker 1: one on twenty two, bring it on.

846
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:44,520
Speaker 3: I once wrote a story from the eye of the

847
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:45,120
Speaker 3: Pats scene.

848
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 1: You tell me about this.

849
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:47,600
Speaker 4: I like it.

850
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:49,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was. It was cool.

851
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 2: What the teams that get paid just to get drubbed

852
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 2: by these big you know, mammathed walking into the minds, then.

853
00:39:57,120 --> 00:39:59,160
Speaker 1: The ones that get paid and come in and actually

854
00:39:59,160 --> 00:39:59,920
Speaker 1: pull the upset.

855
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:06,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's a lot that get drubbed though. Crazy.

856
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:09,719
Speaker 2: Alright, Uh, listen, we got a lot of NFL to

Speaker 2: East Coast getting ready for a storm, at some I

871
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:10,680
Speaker 2: maybe Boston. I think should be getting hit with a

872
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:14,319
Speaker 2: lot of snow somewhere in New England. You see some

873
00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:16,120
Speaker 2: snow in the mid Atlantic States, is going to be

874
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:20,040
Speaker 2: a lot of rain. It's a big nor'easter. But like

875
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:25,160
Speaker 2: right now, guys, it's twenty four degrees. So you dodged it.

876
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:28,480
Speaker 2: You know that FITSI you got out of Connecticut.

877
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:31,960
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, no. But here's the thing. I'm very frugal.

878
00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:34,640
Speaker 5: You know, I'm frugal. Everybody knows I'm frugal. But I'm

879
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:36,920
Speaker 5: also frugal for the companies I work for, Like I

880
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:39,719
Speaker 5: spend everybody else's money like it's my own. So I'm

881
00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:42,279
Speaker 5: usually the person when I fly out, I will go.

882
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 5: There's one parking lot at thee at the Hartford Airport,

883
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 5: right there's one parking lot that's like it's a solid

884
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:51,040
Speaker 5: ten minute drive from the airport, but it's only like

885
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:52,480
Speaker 5: five bucks a day to park there.

886
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:54,200
Speaker 4: It's an outdoor, just awful lot.

887
00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:57,040
Speaker 5: I usually park there because here's the thing.

888
00:41:57,120 --> 00:41:57,839
Speaker 4: Even though I can.

889
00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:01,080
Speaker 5: Expense this like it's corporate travel, like I can expense it,

890
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:03,959
Speaker 5: I never want the bosses to look at the line

891
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:06,080
Speaker 5: item at the end and be like, oh, why would we.

892
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:06,960
Speaker 4: Be that much fat? Right?

893
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:09,719

Speaker 5: garage that's right at the airport for like twenty five

897
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:18,920
Speaker 5: bucks a day.

898
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:19,480
Speaker 4: Nope, I am.

899
00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:21,160
Speaker 5: I don't care if I gotta pay for it my

00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:23,160
Speaker 5: cheap you know what. Was like, Nope, I am not

00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:25,080
Speaker 5: gonna do it. I'm not gonna bury myself out, dig

902
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:27,640
Speaker 5: myself out of snow when I get back from Houston.

903
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:29,360
Speaker 4: I'm not doing it. I'm not doing cousins.

904
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:33,839
Speaker 2: Yah, Yeah, that's all. That's miserable. No, you can't do that. Hey,

905
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:36,440
Speaker 2: you made the right call, man, Listen, feel good about it.

906
00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 2: If if it's you know, spring, summer, you know, no

907
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:45,520
Speaker 2: problem to fight out a lot, you know what I mean? Yeah, fall, whatever,

908
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 2: but not like the dead of winter. There's nothing worse

909
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:51,280
Speaker 2: than getting into a car that's frozen.

910
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:54,080
Speaker 5: Like I'm not getting I'm not getting the brush out.

911
00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:56,399
Speaker 5: That's the weirdest, the weirdest thing for anyone that's ever

912
00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:59,439
Speaker 5: never tri ever never. That's beautiful for anyone that's ever

913
00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:02,880
Speaker 5: traveled to New England. If you ever rent a car,

914
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:05,239
Speaker 5: when you get there, like you know, when you're at

915
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:07,359
Speaker 5: that time of the year when the car rental come,

916
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:09,120
Speaker 5: like you just look in the back seat and there's

917
00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:11,600
Speaker 5: a brush sitting there. That's the snowbrush to tell you,

918
00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:14,560
Speaker 5: hey man, welcome to New England. That's a real thing

919
00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:16,600
Speaker 5: in every rental car when you start to hit like

920
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:20,040
Speaker 5: November December, and it's the realization that you can bark

921
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:22,239
Speaker 5: your car, go inside for an eight hour workday and

922
00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:24,120
Speaker 5: come out and you're like, there's eight inches of snow

923
00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:25,359
Speaker 5: all over my entire car that.

924
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:27,480
Speaker 4: I now have to deal with. Like it's it hits different,

925
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:28,160
Speaker 4: my friend.

926
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:34,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, it does so for uh, for us, it's twenty

927
00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:38,680
Speaker 2: four degrees right now. Now somehow the temperature is gonna rise,

928
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:43,319
Speaker 2: so the storm hits at noon. We'll see if the

929
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:47,320
Speaker 2: temperature rises fast enough for us to get rain instead

930
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:47,800
Speaker 2: of snow.

931
00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:51,280
Speaker 4: Is that what you want? Would you prefer rain over snow?

932
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:51,920
Speaker 5: No?

933
00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:55,640
Speaker 3: I want, I like snow. So do I be to Philadelphia?

934
00:43:56,560 --> 00:44:00,279
Speaker 2: We like, we don't get nearly the amount of snow

935
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:02,160
Speaker 2: snow two years here.

936
00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:04,239
Speaker 3: It used to.

937
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:06,719
Speaker 2: When I was a kid, we were always gad you know,

938
00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:13,560
Speaker 2: maybe four five storms a year in winter, like significant

939
00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:18,080
Speaker 2: snow storms, and now it's like next to nil, So yeah,

940
00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:18,640
Speaker 2: I miss it.

941
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:22,719
Speaker 5: My My hottest of hot takes is that I would

942
00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:26,920
Speaker 5: rather shovel the driveway than mow the lawn, like like,

943
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:29,640
Speaker 5: it doesn't bother me to to get out Like, so I.

944
00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:29,920
Speaker 1: Agree with that.

945
00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:32,520
Speaker 5: Look at this, this is why the fellows work.

946
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:33,799
Speaker 1: Like, I agree with that.

947
00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:37,520
Speaker 5: Hey, if I'm mowing the lawn, which I'm allergic to

948
00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:39,680
Speaker 5: grass anyway, so I can't buy something.

949
00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:42,359
Speaker 3: No, no, I'm allergic to that too.

950
00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:44,480
Speaker 5: It's one of those When I was a kid, this

951
00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:47,200
Speaker 5: true story, when I was as opposed to the false ones.

952
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:48,719
Speaker 5: When I was a kid, I would go out there,

953
00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:50,320
Speaker 5: my mom would make me mow the lawn, and I

954
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:52,600
Speaker 5: would come inside and I'd be wheezing and I could

955
00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:55,520
Speaker 5: barely breathe, and my mom, being the tough woman that

956
00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:57,080
Speaker 5: she is, would look over and she'd be like, maybe

957
00:44:57,080 --> 00:44:58,640
Speaker 5: a fat ass needs to get in shape. That's my

958
00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:00,879
Speaker 5: mom used to always say, seeing to me after I'd

959
00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:03,440
Speaker 5: come in from mowing the lawn. Well, then in high school,

960
00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:06,040
Speaker 5: my senior year in high school, would see an allergistet

961
00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:08,279
Speaker 5: stung by a Bee would see an allergist, and the

962
00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:10,880
Speaker 5: allergist says to my mom, it's like, I'm really surprised

963
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:13,040
Speaker 5: you guys have never noticed this. He has a very

964
00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:16,200
Speaker 5: severe allergy to cut grass. The chemical that is released

965
00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:18,719
Speaker 5: when you cut grass makes me welt up, like I

966
00:45:18,719 --> 00:45:21,640
Speaker 5: gotta roll my windows up if my neighbor's like cutting

967
00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:23,840
Speaker 5: the grass, Like, so it's bad for me. So it

968
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:26,640
Speaker 5: saves me from mowing the grass. But that being said,

969
00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:29,840
Speaker 5: like I actually enjoy getting bundled up, put on the gloves,

970
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:32,680
Speaker 5: get the tiny, like one hundred dollars snowblower that I

971
00:45:32,719 --> 00:45:34,880
Speaker 5: have that really doesn't blow anything, and just sort of

972
00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:38,160
Speaker 5: like make my way across the driveway takes like solid

973
00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:41,560
Speaker 5: thirty minutes, come inside, get some cocoa afterwards, Like, oh

974
00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:42,440
Speaker 5: that is divine.

975
00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:43,239
Speaker 4: I'm all in for that.

976
00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:48,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's I'm completely with you, man. I'm still away

977
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:51,800
Speaker 2: thinking's like what I'll the snow.

978
00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:56,040
Speaker 1: You're like just enjoying a sixty one degrees in partly

979
00:45:56,080 --> 00:45:59,400
Speaker 1: cloudy the forecast for Los Angeles this weekend.

980
00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:05,279
Speaker 5: Figgy. So, I got in my uber in Houston when

981
00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:08,000
Speaker 5: I landed and it was like fifty five and the

982
00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:11,200
Speaker 5: guy had the heat cranking and he was like, oh man,

983
00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:13,040
Speaker 5: it's just so cold. And I looked at I was like, man,

984
00:46:13,120 --> 00:46:16,239
Speaker 5: this does not work for me. I like fifty five

985
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:19,720
Speaker 5: coming out of Connecticut right now, I'm like doing, I'm.

986
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:22,000
Speaker 1: Surprised fifty five is even hot and is I consider

987
00:46:22,080 --> 00:46:24,400
Speaker 1: cold in Houston even that's surprising to me.

988
00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:26,120
Speaker 4: He was. He was cranking it.

989
00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:29,120
Speaker 1: Geez. Yeah, I've been I've been in the snow what

990
00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:33,920
Speaker 1: three times, two or three times in my life, and uh,

991
00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:35,600
Speaker 1: you know what, I was a fan, to be honest

992
00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:39,160
Speaker 1: with you, Uh no, it's all to the East Coast.

993
00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:41,080
Speaker 1: Went to Philly once when I was a kid, New

994
00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:44,239
Speaker 1: York another time when I was a kid, uh, And

995
00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:45,920
Speaker 1: it was cool. It was like it was a driving

996
00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:47,279
Speaker 1: like snow. I don't know if I can call it

997
00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:47,800
Speaker 1: a storm.

998
00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:48,200
Speaker 2: Uh.

999
00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:50,480
Speaker 1: I mean you guys, you've actually experienced no storms.

1000
00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:50,920
Speaker 4: But it was.

1001
00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:53,319
Speaker 1: It was. It was pretty crazy when I was out

1002
00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:55,120
Speaker 1: there in k but I enjoyed it. You know, you

1003
00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:56,960
Speaker 1: were a kid and you hear about like white Christmas

1004
00:46:57,000 --> 00:46:57,360
Speaker 1: is and all that.

1005
00:46:57,520 --> 00:46:58,440
Speaker 3: It was time.

1006
00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:00,640
Speaker 1: But I was like, wow, this is pretty cool. I'm

1007
00:47:00,640 --> 00:47:02,279
Speaker 1: freezing my ass off, but it's pretty cool.

1008
00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:03,520
Speaker 3: That's awesome.

1009
00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:05,360
Speaker 1: After being outside for about twenty men. So I was like,

1010
00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:07,359
Speaker 1: all right, can we head inside and somebody light up

1011
00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:09,560
Speaker 1: the fire and we can retire for the day.

1012
00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:13,319
Speaker 2: You know, you know, it's awesome about snow and a snowstorm.

1013
00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:16,400
Speaker 2: What I love about storms is that everything kind of

1014
00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:19,560
Speaker 2: shuts down. Yeah, yeah, and it's like you get like

1015
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:23,319
Speaker 2: two days, especially in the city, right because I lived

1016
00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:29,239
Speaker 2: in the city forever. The city during a snowstorm, it's

1017
00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:33,960
Speaker 2: like pristine, Like you don't see this until the snow

1018
00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:38,680
Speaker 2: turns gray and black with the soot and everything else.

1019
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:42,600
Speaker 2: But it's quiet, like all of a sudden, because there's

1020
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:44,320
Speaker 2: the buses stop running.

1021
00:47:45,080 --> 00:47:45,439
Speaker 3: The car.

1022
00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:49,920
Speaker 2: It's just quiet and you almost hear like the flakes

1023
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:54,640
Speaker 2: falling like feathers, and it's just beautiful, it really is.

1024
00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:59,400
Speaker 5: You have shown you your talents as a writer in

1025
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:03,480
Speaker 5: the situation because you're describing such a perfect scene. And

1026
00:48:03,719 --> 00:48:05,759
Speaker 5: I tell people all the time, like, if you know,

1027
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:08,040
Speaker 5: going back to Christmas the end of the movie, you

1028
00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:10,120
Speaker 5: know Christmas story where he's sitting on the couch and

1029
00:48:10,120 --> 00:48:12,719
Speaker 5: it's facing the window and the snow is falling. That

1030
00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:15,040
Speaker 5: doesn't necessarily happen at Christmas time anymore.

1031
00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:16,759
Speaker 4: For whatever reason in the world.

1032
00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:18,960
Speaker 5: But I feel like that is what I love about

1033
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:21,760
Speaker 5: February and Connecticut. Everybody I know that lives in Connecticut

1034
00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:24,880
Speaker 5: absolutely hates January of every March because it's winter. To me,

1035
00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:27,720
Speaker 5: it's that exact moment where like I'm sitting on the couch,

1036
00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:30,040
Speaker 5: I got my dog curled up with me, I'm looking

1037
00:48:30,040 --> 00:48:32,759
Speaker 5: out the big window. The snow is like halfway up

1038
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:35,280
Speaker 5: the window, and you realize like, hey, I can't go anywhere.

1039
00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:37,959
Speaker 5: I'm not going to do anything, so I'm just gonna

1040
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:40,120
Speaker 5: sit back and be calm for a little bit. And

1041
00:48:40,160 --> 00:48:44,000
Speaker 5: it's like, I don't know, for me, it's serene.

1042
00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:44,839
Speaker 1: You're right.

1043
00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:49,319
Speaker 2: I think we as human beings, especially Americans, because we're

1044
00:48:49,360 --> 00:48:54,000
Speaker 2: always on the go, you need that those moments, that

1045
00:48:54,160 --> 00:48:57,960
Speaker 2: blocks of time of serenity, like of just peacefulness.

1046
00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:00,520
Speaker 5: I always laugh too, because then I've got friends that

1047
00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:02,360
Speaker 5: are like, I've just got capin fever, I got to

1048
00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:04,680
Speaker 5: do something. I'm like, you're the same people that wanted

1049
00:49:04,719 --> 00:49:06,680
Speaker 5: to sit in a pool at the at the bar

1050
00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:09,680
Speaker 5: in Mexico for like five straight days and just get drunk.

1051
00:49:09,760 --> 00:49:12,000
Speaker 5: Like for me, I get bored there, Like if I'm

1052
00:49:12,040 --> 00:49:13,560
Speaker 5: sitting in a pool in the middle of summer and

1053
00:49:13,600 --> 00:49:16,880
Speaker 5: I'm not doing something, I get wildly bored. So like

1054
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:19,080
Speaker 5: it's it's funny how we're all different in how we

1055
00:49:19,120 --> 00:49:21,799
Speaker 5: respond to that. I find tremendous peace and being at

1056
00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:25,040
Speaker 5: home inside in that atmosphere, knowing, hey, this is gonna

1057
00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:27,200
Speaker 5: be a couple of days snowed in then we.

1058
00:49:27,160 --> 00:49:27,600
Speaker 4: Can go there.

1059
00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:29,279
Speaker 5: But I don't find that same piece just you know,

1060
00:49:29,640 --> 00:49:31,840
Speaker 5: sitting somewhere do it nothing I got you.

1061
00:49:31,920 --> 00:49:35,040
Speaker 2: Well, you know what would be better during February is

1062
00:49:35,080 --> 00:49:37,600
Speaker 2: if you had all like a full slate of football

1063
00:49:38,040 --> 00:49:41,800
Speaker 2: to watch while you're see snobal.

1064
00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:45,240
Speaker 1: That's the thing that I and I've never experienced or gotten.

1065
00:49:45,440 --> 00:49:47,759
Speaker 1: The you know, you're freezing your tail off. You're going

1066
00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:50,319
Speaker 1: to a football game and you're literally sitting and or

1067
00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:53,600
Speaker 1: standing there for three and a half hours watching a game.

1068
00:49:54,520 --> 00:49:57,200
Speaker 1: That's that's next time, that's the worst. That's next level.

1069
00:49:57,480 --> 00:49:59,880
Speaker 5: That right there is the reason I watch this segue

1070
00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:02,640
Speaker 5: into football. That right there is the reason that the

1071
00:50:02,760 --> 00:50:07,080
Speaker 5: entire NFL is rooting against the Buffalo Bills, like nobody

1072
00:50:07,360 --> 00:50:09,360
Speaker 5: wants to watch their favorite team have to go. Not

1073
00:50:09,440 --> 00:50:11,319
Speaker 5: because I think the Bills are a great football team.

1074
00:50:11,840 --> 00:50:14,480
Speaker 5: I think this year the Bills have been maddeningly and consistent.

1075
00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:17,279
Speaker 5: They have some huge wards that were just glossing over

1076
00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:19,799
Speaker 5: because we presumed coming into the season they'd be very good.

1077
00:50:19,880 --> 00:50:23,520
Speaker 5: But that being said, I don't think anybody wants to

1078
00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:26,840
Speaker 5: have to go into Buffalo in January just chance it

1079
00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:30,040
Speaker 5: that the weather's not going to create that exact atmosphere.

1080
00:50:31,120 --> 00:50:33,040
Speaker 3: Year one, you know, I mean, I think it's a

1081
00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:34,120
Speaker 3: different story this year.

1082
00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:36,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, But also one of the few teams that could

1083
00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:38,680
Speaker 1: probably you know what, we can weather this. We were

1084
00:50:38,760 --> 00:50:40,200
Speaker 1: used to it. We can handle it.

1085
00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:43,399
Speaker 5: It's just the thought of most of the Like, if

1086
00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:46,719
Speaker 5: you're Jacksonville and you're thinking, man, might have to go

1087
00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:48,000
Speaker 5: on the road to take on Miami.

1088
00:50:48,040 --> 00:50:50,439
Speaker 4: That's gonna be tough. Yeah, that is gonna be tough.

1089
00:50:50,520 --> 00:50:52,319
Speaker 5: If you're Jacksonville and you're like, might end up having

1090
00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:53,799
Speaker 5: to go to Buffalo at some point, that.

1091
00:50:53,920 --> 00:50:58,040
Speaker 1: Just heaven forbid Miami. The Buffalo gainst the two seat

1092
00:50:58,080 --> 00:50:59,640
Speaker 1: in Miami has to hop up there for some reason.

1093
00:50:59,760 --> 00:50:59,880
Speaker 4: Yea.

1094
00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:01,520
Speaker 5: And then all you need is that to be the

1095
00:51:01,560 --> 00:51:03,680
Speaker 5: weekend that there's seventy four inches of snow and all

1096
00:51:03,719 --> 00:51:06,560
Speaker 5: of a sudden, the whole season That's part of why

1097
00:51:06,640 --> 00:51:09,520
Speaker 5: I hate this conversation so often of you know, what

1098
00:51:09,560 --> 00:51:11,960
Speaker 5: does playoffs success mean for each of these individuals?

1099
00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:13,920
Speaker 4: Like the weather variable in.

1100
00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:17,160
Speaker 5: The playoffs is such a huge part of how these

1101
00:51:17,200 --> 00:51:19,520
Speaker 5: games play out. It's it's the thing that I become

1102
00:51:19,560 --> 00:51:22,160
Speaker 5: scared of. Maybe it's the remembering the tuck rule in

1103
00:51:22,200 --> 00:51:24,040
Speaker 5: the snow. I'm the first to admit that that's part

1104
00:51:24,080 --> 00:51:26,239
Speaker 5: of it, but I forget, like there is something about

1105
00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:30,120
Speaker 5: Yea that I can't there is something about the variables

1106
00:51:30,160 --> 00:51:34,640
Speaker 5: you cannot control, and the variables you cannot control in Buffalo.

1107
00:51:34,160 --> 00:51:36,840
Speaker 4: With weather are more severe than they are in most places.

1108
00:51:38,360 --> 00:51:42,640
Speaker 2: I did, You're spot on. I mean, it's crazy. Did

1109
00:51:42,719 --> 00:51:47,480
Speaker 2: you see Bill's Mafia taking over Miami? There are flights

1110
00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:52,080
Speaker 2: and flights from Buffalo filled with Bill's Mafia.

1111
00:51:52,120 --> 00:51:55,279
Speaker 3: It's singing Bill's songs. It's pretty awes for.

1112
00:51:55,239 --> 00:51:55,840
Speaker 4: Them, dude.

1113
00:51:55,840 --> 00:51:58,920
Speaker 5: I So I flew to do people by way of

1114
00:51:59,080 --> 00:52:01,960
Speaker 5: Orlando for some reason, and that was where my layover was.

1115
00:52:02,080 --> 00:52:03,000
Speaker 4: I have no idea.

1116
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:06,080
Speaker 5: I'm not It's like I'm not a scholar. But it

1117
00:52:06,120 --> 00:52:08,240
Speaker 5: seemed like there should be an easier way than Connecticut

1118
00:52:08,280 --> 00:52:11,680
Speaker 5: to Orlando to Houston. But the Southwest had digress. The

1119
00:52:11,680 --> 00:52:13,719
Speaker 5: funny thing to me is I was sitting and then

1120
00:52:13,760 --> 00:52:15,279
Speaker 5: the flight was delayed. So I was sitting in the

1121
00:52:15,360 --> 00:52:18,239
Speaker 5: Orlando airport for two and a half hours a couple

1122
00:52:18,280 --> 00:52:20,480
Speaker 5: of nights ago. And the crazy thing is I was

1123
00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:23,960
Speaker 5: sitting there, the food court was packed with people that

1124
00:52:24,040 --> 00:52:27,280
Speaker 5: were all wearing the same like nineties zubaz like Bills

1125
00:52:27,360 --> 00:52:29,600
Speaker 5: pants and shirts, like they'd all out of it. I

1126
00:52:29,640 --> 00:52:31,160
Speaker 5: sat there and I was like, man, this is the

1127
00:52:31,160 --> 00:52:34,200
Speaker 5: connecting flight. Buffalo was out. So I'm not surprised to

1128
00:52:34,200 --> 00:52:37,359
Speaker 5: hear that, because I note it was noticeable in the

1129
00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:40,400
Speaker 5: Orlando airport that the entire place was taken over with

1130
00:52:40,440 --> 00:52:40,959
Speaker 5: Bills fans.

1131
00:52:41,160 --> 00:52:42,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's awesome.

1132
00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:44,360
Speaker 1: Now, if I was a football fan of living in

1133
00:52:44,360 --> 00:52:46,000
Speaker 1: Buffalo and I had a chance to get to Miami

1134
00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:48,960
Speaker 1: in January, I'd probably do that too. So like SCE

1135
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:50,000
Speaker 1: to me, Yeah, it.

1136
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:54,640
Speaker 2: Makes perfect sense. Man, this is perfect time, all right,

1137
00:52:55,000 --> 00:53:00,120
Speaker 2: So let's do this. Let's go through every game of

1138
00:53:00,160 --> 00:53:03,560
Speaker 2: the weekend. And we got playoff ratifications and we got

1139
00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:06,960
Speaker 2: Black Monday ramifications, right, So we'll go through each of

1140
00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:09,719
Speaker 2: the games and we'll look at the state of each

1141
00:53:09,760 --> 00:53:12,239
Speaker 2: of these teams all right.

1142
00:53:12,200 --> 00:53:15,600
Speaker 1: And then I'm looking forward to this deep dive in

1143
00:53:15,719 --> 00:53:18,680
Speaker 1: and he had I found maybe you're good?

1144
00:53:19,080 --> 00:53:19,759
Speaker 3: We good all that?

1145
00:53:20,440 --> 00:53:21,160
Speaker 4: Oh, I can't wait.

1146
00:53:21,320 --> 00:53:21,600
Speaker 1: Let's go.

1147
00:53:22,680 --> 00:53:26,000
Speaker 3: Well, I can hear Figgy's eyes rolling.

1148
00:53:27,120 --> 00:53:28,839
Speaker 1: Now you know what, for once, I'm actually looking forward

1149
00:53:28,840 --> 00:53:31,080
Speaker 1: to this. Let's do it all right? Every game?

1150
00:53:31,080 --> 00:53:31,400
Speaker 3: Why not?

1151
00:53:31,719 --> 00:53:37,040
Speaker 2: Let's go every game? I can just all right, that's good.

1152
00:53:37,280 --> 00:53:39,560
Speaker 2: I will take quick time out. We'll come back and

1153
00:53:39,640 --> 00:53:44,040
Speaker 2: we'll start with today's games. Yes, Steelers and Ravens, and

1154
00:53:44,200 --> 00:53:48,239
Speaker 2: my god, the Ravens, they're amazing. We'll talk about both

1155
00:53:48,280 --> 00:53:52,200
Speaker 2: those teams, the Steelers' chances. We'll talk about the playoff

1156
00:53:52,280 --> 00:53:56,640
Speaker 2: game that is tonight in Indianapolis where we got the

1157
00:53:56,719 --> 00:54:00,480
Speaker 2: Chexans and the Cults. That's coming up next right here, fellas,

1158
00:54:00,560 --> 00:54:07,280
Speaker 2: right on Fox Sports Radio. Fellas from the ti iraq

1159
00:54:07,440 --> 00:54:13,640
Speaker 2: dot Com studios. Jason Fitz, Kevin Figures, I'm Anthony Gargano,

1160
00:54:15,160 --> 00:54:16,360
Speaker 2: Shay and Mighty Mark.

1161
00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:20,000
Speaker 3: All right, a couple of things, let's get right to it.

1162
00:54:20,239 --> 00:54:26,160
Speaker 2: So first on the docket, the Mighty Mighty Ravens, who

1163
00:54:26,480 --> 00:54:32,879
Speaker 2: I've destroyed Miami. After destroying the Niners, they absolutely annihilated

1164
00:54:32,920 --> 00:54:33,719
Speaker 2: the Dolphins.

1165
00:54:34,400 --> 00:54:37,200
Speaker 3: Lamar cemented his MVP rain.

1166
00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:42,719
Speaker 2: They signed Dalvincook too, which I thought it was a

1167
00:54:42,719 --> 00:54:45,839
Speaker 2: good move. And you know what, look I mean you

1168
00:54:45,880 --> 00:54:49,960
Speaker 2: saw the Jets were just a mess of their offensive line.

1169
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:53,640
Speaker 2: Breace Hall, who's a I think a star waiting to happen.

1170
00:54:54,239 --> 00:54:57,640
Speaker 2: I couldn't get enough carries on the field. Dalvin Cook

1171
00:54:58,320 --> 00:55:02,879
Speaker 2: had like seventy touches all season long, so he's fresh.

1172
00:55:03,239 --> 00:55:07,400
Speaker 2: You saw what Zeke being fresh in New England kind

1173
00:55:07,400 --> 00:55:10,000
Speaker 2: of breathes a little life into him. They could get

1174
00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:12,239
Speaker 2: a little something with Dalvin Cook for the playoffs.

1175
00:55:12,480 --> 00:55:12,640
Speaker 7: Yeah.

1176
00:55:12,680 --> 00:55:13,600
Speaker 4: I like that move a lot.

1177
00:55:13,640 --> 00:55:15,839
Speaker 5: And there are certain moves that I look at and

1178
00:55:15,920 --> 00:55:19,120
Speaker 5: to oversimplify, just say why not, right, Like, why not

1179
00:55:19,320 --> 00:55:21,960
Speaker 5: add a little bit of depth there? Give themselves that situation.

1180
00:55:22,239 --> 00:55:24,000
Speaker 5: It's good for the player, it's good for the team.

1181
00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:26,520
Speaker 5: I think it's frankly, it's good for Everybody's the smart.

1182
00:55:26,320 --> 00:55:29,080
Speaker 2: And they're running back. Yep, I've gotten beat up, you

1183
00:55:29,080 --> 00:55:30,960
Speaker 2: know it just lost Keaton Mitchell. It was a big

1184
00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:32,279
Speaker 2: weapon too. That fits you.

1185
00:55:32,719 --> 00:55:35,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, and by the way, you mentioned rising star like

1186
00:55:35,400 --> 00:55:38,000
Speaker 5: he every week. I feel like we've looked at that

1187
00:55:38,080 --> 00:55:39,440
Speaker 5: over the course of the year and been like is

1188
00:55:39,480 --> 00:55:41,719
Speaker 5: this Mitchell thing sustainable or is it just popping big

1189
00:55:41,800 --> 00:55:44,520
Speaker 5: runs And it looks like it is sustainable, you know

1190
00:55:44,640 --> 00:55:47,520
Speaker 5: for them, So congratulations, I'm fine to that. But yeah,

1191
00:55:47,560 --> 00:55:49,600
Speaker 5: I think anytime you can add depth going into this,

1192
00:55:49,640 --> 00:55:51,920
Speaker 5: why not, especially when you know what's on the line

1193
00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:54,200
Speaker 5: for the Ravens, Like, let's be let's be honest. I

1194
00:55:54,200 --> 00:55:56,680
Speaker 5: think they understand that that building what it's taken most

1195
00:55:56,719 --> 00:55:59,520
Speaker 5: of us two months to figure out, this is that

1196
00:55:59,600 --> 00:56:01,680
Speaker 5: super window for him. So why not add a little

1197
00:56:01,719 --> 00:56:04,000
Speaker 5: bit of depth knowing that you're going into a situation

1198
00:56:04,120 --> 00:56:06,399
Speaker 5: in the playoffs where you're gonna get that coveted by,

1199
00:56:06,440 --> 00:56:07,960
Speaker 5: You're going to get that home field advantage.

1200
00:56:08,760 --> 00:56:11,239
Speaker 4: Everything is lined up the right way for Baltimore right now.

1201
00:56:12,360 --> 00:56:16,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean think how about it likely becomes a star,

1202
00:56:16,920 --> 00:56:22,680
Speaker 2: Andrews goes down, likely becomes terrific. They had directed likely

1203
00:56:22,719 --> 00:56:25,960
Speaker 2: and Charlie Kohlar two tight ends and their back it's

1204
00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:29,840
Speaker 2: paying off is eight Flowers Is Flowers an amazing player,

1205
00:56:30,160 --> 00:56:33,240
Speaker 2: right You got obj and.

1206
00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:39,120
Speaker 3: An incredible defense, and you watch Lamar.

1207
00:56:39,120 --> 00:56:44,640
Speaker 2: And you know he's been just magical, Like just I

1208
00:56:44,680 --> 00:56:48,200
Speaker 2: think one of the things that is and you go

1209
00:56:48,280 --> 00:56:51,080
Speaker 2: back to thinking about last offseason where anybody could have

1210
00:56:51,320 --> 00:56:54,439
Speaker 2: him right, like it's it's wild. But you go back

1211
00:56:54,480 --> 00:56:57,719
Speaker 2: to what Lamar has become and I just think he

1212
00:56:57,920 --> 00:57:02,360
Speaker 2: understands the positions so much better, Like it just clicked

1213
00:57:02,360 --> 00:57:05,760
Speaker 2: in the focus for him, and he's just he makes

1214
00:57:05,800 --> 00:57:10,320
Speaker 2: every read, every throw. I mean, he's ridiculous just spinning

1215
00:57:10,400 --> 00:57:12,040
Speaker 2: it off as a risk thrower.

1216
00:57:12,600 --> 00:57:15,560
Speaker 3: But he's been just playing some amazing quarterback.

1217
00:57:15,680 --> 00:57:17,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, with a lot of question marks surrounding him as

1218
00:57:17,960 --> 00:57:19,640
Speaker 1: to why he didn't really get a lot of action

1219
00:57:19,800 --> 00:57:22,760
Speaker 1: last offseason. The contract, he wanted, all the guaranteed money,

1220
00:57:22,800 --> 00:57:24,920
Speaker 1: like Deshaun Watson, his mom was his agent, he had

1221
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:27,040
Speaker 1: knee injuries, he was dealing with, so a lot of

1222
00:57:27,080 --> 00:57:29,480
Speaker 1: reasons as to why he didn't get the sort of

1223
00:57:29,520 --> 00:57:32,560
Speaker 1: attention that he was looking for from other teams. But

1224
00:57:32,680 --> 00:57:36,400
Speaker 1: he signed the EXTENSI with Baltimore, and obviously everybody wins out.

1225
00:57:36,400 --> 00:57:38,800
Speaker 1: The thing I'm most happy about here is if you

1226
00:57:38,840 --> 00:57:41,320
Speaker 1: look at his statistics, they're not really gaudy at all.

1227
00:57:41,360 --> 00:57:44,120
Speaker 1: They're not anywhere close to what they were his second

1228
00:57:44,200 --> 00:57:46,040
Speaker 1: year in the league when he was a league MVP

1229
00:57:46,160 --> 00:57:49,560
Speaker 1: in Baltimore. You know, had that unceremonious exit against Tennessee.

1230
00:57:49,680 --> 00:57:52,680
Speaker 1: But it shows that a player can have such great

1231
00:57:52,760 --> 00:57:55,520
Speaker 1: value and be a difference maker for a franchise, and

1232
00:57:55,560 --> 00:57:58,080
Speaker 1: it goes beyond the statistics. Every single time, he doesn't

1233
00:57:58,120 --> 00:58:00,600
Speaker 1: have to put up gaudy numbers. You know the difference

1234
00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:03,920
Speaker 1: that he makes specifically when they're playing against quality opponents,

1235
00:58:04,280 --> 00:58:07,720
Speaker 1: and he plays his best when they're going against the best,

1236
00:58:08,040 --> 00:58:10,520
Speaker 1: And that's all you can ask. And he even though

1237
00:58:10,520 --> 00:58:13,240
Speaker 1: his numbers are not astronomical, and you know, all these

1238
00:58:13,320 --> 00:58:14,920
Speaker 1: numbers through the roof, all the passing yards and the

1239
00:58:14,920 --> 00:58:16,640
Speaker 1: tough passing touchdowns. I think he has twenty four to

1240
00:58:16,680 --> 00:58:19,760
Speaker 1: twenty five on the year. You cannot argue that he's

1241
00:58:19,760 --> 00:58:22,680
Speaker 1: not the most viable player in the NFL with the

1242
00:58:22,720 --> 00:58:25,440
Speaker 1: production he's had in the biggest moments in the biggest games.

1243
00:58:25,640 --> 00:58:28,760
Speaker 4: Well, isn't this where Cousin is right?

1244
00:58:29,120 --> 00:58:31,720
Speaker 5: Oftentimes because y'all know that I'm the guy that comes

1245
00:58:31,720 --> 00:58:33,760
Speaker 5: in and I'm like, yeah, we'll look at the numbers constantly.

1246
00:58:34,040 --> 00:58:35,600
Speaker 5: And this is one time where I'm like, you have

1247
00:58:35,640 --> 00:58:38,280
Speaker 5: a look at the tape, like just just missing all

1248
00:58:38,320 --> 00:58:41,520
Speaker 5: this conversation about like, watch the couple of things that

1249
00:58:41,640 --> 00:58:42,840
Speaker 5: stand out is that he.

1250
00:58:42,840 --> 00:58:45,080
Speaker 4: Doesn't ever make the wrong play, it feels like.

1251
00:58:45,160 --> 00:58:47,520
Speaker 5: And then when you talk about the thing that I

1252
00:58:47,520 --> 00:58:51,680
Speaker 5: think makes mahomes indefensible so often is that as he

1253
00:58:51,680 --> 00:58:54,520
Speaker 5: climbs the pocket, he keeps his hips and his feet

1254
00:58:54,640 --> 00:58:56,840
Speaker 5: forward in a way where he can always still throw

1255
00:58:56,880 --> 00:58:59,160
Speaker 5: the ball with the flick of the wrist. This year,

1256
00:58:59,240 --> 00:59:01,680
Speaker 5: particularly in ways that I don't think we have seen

1257
00:59:01,720 --> 00:59:02,880
Speaker 5: the last few years.

1258
00:59:03,160 --> 00:59:04,480
Speaker 4: We've seen that from Lamar.

1259
00:59:04,520 --> 00:59:06,480
Speaker 5: I think Tom Munkin has found a way to unlock

1260
00:59:06,560 --> 00:59:09,720
Speaker 5: the while you are moving you can still chuck the

1261
00:59:09,720 --> 00:59:13,040
Speaker 5: ball down field. And the accuracy on some of those throws,

1262
00:59:13,120 --> 00:59:15,760
Speaker 5: I mean, I get the likely we keep talking about

1263
00:59:15,760 --> 00:59:18,000
Speaker 5: the one handed catch for likely. I think he also

1264
00:59:18,040 --> 00:59:19,680
Speaker 5: put that ball in kind of the only bleaks he

1265
00:59:19,720 --> 00:59:22,960
Speaker 5: could right like while he's jumping and throwing the football,

1266
00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:25,000
Speaker 5: because he got his hips lined up like. That's the

1267
00:59:25,040 --> 00:59:27,160
Speaker 5: thing that I think is really impressive. You know when

1268
00:59:27,200 --> 00:59:29,960
Speaker 5: he talks two guys that played and you do this

1269
00:59:30,000 --> 00:59:32,480
Speaker 5: all the time because with Baldy, right like, when you

1270
00:59:32,520 --> 00:59:35,880
Speaker 5: actually look at at the way he's doing what he's doing,

1271
00:59:36,400 --> 00:59:38,680
Speaker 5: I just think that anybody that's sitting here and saying, yeah,

1272
00:59:38,680 --> 00:59:41,480
Speaker 5: but the numbers tell you that's just that's just their

1273
00:59:41,480 --> 00:59:43,080
Speaker 5: way of saying they haven't watched the Ravens.

1274
00:59:44,440 --> 00:59:45,760
Speaker 3: You said it beautifully.

1275
00:59:45,880 --> 00:59:47,400
Speaker 2: It's funny because I was just about to say the

1276
00:59:47,400 --> 00:59:50,360
Speaker 2: same thing, Like it's one of those things where you

1277
00:59:50,520 --> 00:59:53,720
Speaker 2: watch him and you go, oh wow, I get it.

1278
00:59:54,480 --> 00:59:55,880
Speaker 3: You know, you're spot on it.

1279
00:59:55,960 --> 00:59:59,080
Speaker 2: And you brought up Monkey who's done an amazing job

1280
00:59:59,600 --> 01:00:03,560
Speaker 2: as as Mike McDonald on defense for the Ravens. Like

1281
01:00:03,600 --> 01:00:07,040
Speaker 2: that Ravens defense that they play that matchup zone, which

1282
01:00:07,120 --> 01:00:11,080
Speaker 2: is awesome. It's nasty, right, I mean they got a

1283
01:00:11,120 --> 01:00:14,520
Speaker 2: great front, you got you know, they just float to

1284
01:00:14,600 --> 01:00:15,240
Speaker 2: the football.

1285
01:00:15,400 --> 01:00:17,080
Speaker 3: You got real linebackers.

1286
01:00:18,400 --> 01:00:23,400
Speaker 2: I mean they are they Roquon and Patrick Queen, Like,

1287
01:00:23,920 --> 01:00:25,200
Speaker 2: they're just nasty, man.

1288
01:00:25,240 --> 01:00:26,440
Speaker 3: They're They're really good.

1289
01:00:26,840 --> 01:00:30,360
Speaker 2: And I think the only time I've kind of saw

1290
01:00:30,440 --> 01:00:34,840
Speaker 2: them vulnerable was against you. Like, the quarterback has to

1291
01:00:34,880 --> 01:00:38,080
Speaker 2: play perfect. And we broke this down Baldy and I

1292
01:00:38,280 --> 01:00:43,280
Speaker 2: in the film room, and it was Stafford. And Stafford

1293
01:00:43,560 --> 01:00:48,640
Speaker 2: was so good, was so quick and accurate that that

1294
01:00:48,880 --> 01:00:51,560
Speaker 2: was the only quarterback that gave them real trouble.

1295
01:00:53,040 --> 01:00:55,840
Speaker 5: Well, now, now let's play that forward a second, because

1296
01:00:55,880 --> 01:00:57,480
Speaker 5: part of what we're looking at here is what it

1297
01:00:57,520 --> 01:01:01,000
Speaker 5: means for everybody, right, Like, how many quarterback in the

1298
01:01:01,000 --> 01:01:05,160
Speaker 5: AFC playoff discussion are the type of quarterback that are

1299
01:01:05,200 --> 01:01:08,160
Speaker 5: known to get the ball out of their hand quickly, accurately,

1300
01:01:08,480 --> 01:01:12,160
Speaker 5: tight window throws that they run with urgency. I'm not

1301
01:01:12,200 --> 01:01:14,600
Speaker 5: talking about a mobile guy that can beat you twenty

1302
01:01:14,640 --> 01:01:17,280
Speaker 5: seven different ways. I'm talking about a slice and dice,

1303
01:01:17,360 --> 01:01:19,520
Speaker 5: stand there guy, which is what Stafford is right Like,

1304
01:01:19,920 --> 01:01:22,880
Speaker 5: I don't think there are many quarterbacks, if any, in

1305
01:01:22,920 --> 01:01:26,480
Speaker 5: the AFC playoff conversation that really fit that mold.

1306
01:01:26,880 --> 01:01:28,360
Speaker 4: So you know, styles make fights.

1307
01:01:28,400 --> 01:01:30,960
Speaker 5: I feel like the Ravens are even stylistically in a

1308
01:01:30,960 --> 01:01:33,480
Speaker 5: pretty good situation. If that's the type of quarterback it's

1309
01:01:33,480 --> 01:01:35,240
Speaker 5: going to take to beat him, I don't think they're

1310
01:01:35,240 --> 01:01:36,200
Speaker 5: going to face that much.

1311
01:01:36,560 --> 01:01:39,320
Speaker 1: The only one who could, and he doesn't fit this

1312
01:01:39,360 --> 01:01:41,440
Speaker 1: profile because he's turned the ball over too much in

1313
01:01:41,520 --> 01:01:43,840
Speaker 1: his short tenure since he's been back, is Joe Flacco.

1314
01:01:44,800 --> 01:01:46,760
Speaker 1: He's a guy who can stand back there, stand tall,

1315
01:01:46,880 --> 01:01:48,840
Speaker 1: and pick you apart a bit. But he's he's been great,

1316
01:01:48,880 --> 01:01:50,800
Speaker 1: but he's also been a little bit reckless and against

1317
01:01:50,840 --> 01:01:54,280
Speaker 1: this defense here for the postseason and as far as

1318
01:01:54,360 --> 01:01:56,880
Speaker 1: just fitting the profile. No, no, you're a type of

1319
01:01:56,920 --> 01:01:58,040
Speaker 1: player that he'd be the guy.

1320
01:01:58,400 --> 01:02:00,640
Speaker 3: No, No, you're you're right. No.

1321
01:02:00,640 --> 01:02:03,240
Speaker 2: No, It's funny because I said the same thing that

1322
01:02:03,320 --> 01:02:06,920
Speaker 2: the Browns the only team that match that really kind

1323
01:02:06,960 --> 01:02:12,680
Speaker 2: of matches up against Baltimore, and that could be like

1324
01:02:13,120 --> 01:02:16,480
Speaker 2: an amazing game. Here's the thing about Flacco that's different

1325
01:02:16,520 --> 01:02:20,600
Speaker 2: than Stafford is that because he's so big, he extends

1326
01:02:20,640 --> 01:02:25,800
Speaker 2: plays almost like Roethlisberger. And that's that could be a

1327
01:02:25,840 --> 01:02:31,000
Speaker 2: little bit dangerous because it's it's they're so quick and

1328
01:02:31,040 --> 01:02:34,280
Speaker 2: flow to the ball, but the longer if the quarterback

1329
01:02:34,280 --> 01:02:37,520
Speaker 2: could extend to play on them and is accurate, that's

1330
01:02:37,560 --> 01:02:39,960
Speaker 2: when the defense is a little vulnerable, but.

1331
01:02:40,200 --> 01:02:42,000
Speaker 1: It goes accurate on the move a little bit too.

1332
01:02:42,160 --> 01:02:43,920
Speaker 3: So he is I mean you so over that.

1333
01:02:43,960 --> 01:02:46,800
Speaker 2: I mean Litsten that game got crazy against the Jets,

1334
01:02:46,840 --> 01:02:50,120
Speaker 2: but he I mean like he was throwing dimes all over.

1335
01:02:50,160 --> 01:02:54,360
Speaker 5: It feels like we're headed in my mind to a

1336
01:02:54,680 --> 01:02:57,320
Speaker 5: Browns Ravens AFC championship game. I mean, they are the

1337
01:02:57,360 --> 01:02:59,240
Speaker 5: two teams playing the best right now, that the two

1338
01:02:59,280 --> 01:03:00,840
Speaker 5: most complete teams right now.

1339
01:03:01,280 --> 01:03:03,280
Speaker 4: They're the two closest.

1340
01:03:02,800 --> 01:03:05,960
Speaker 5: Things I can say to trusting in this playoff conversation.

1341
01:03:06,120 --> 01:03:09,720
Speaker 5: So you know, I don't trust Miami for obvious reasons

1342
01:03:09,720 --> 01:03:10,840
Speaker 5: I just mentioned.

1343
01:03:10,880 --> 01:03:13,520
Speaker 4: I think the Bills have been a bit of a I.

1344
01:03:13,560 --> 01:03:15,520
Speaker 2: Think the Bills are legit. I'll be honest with you,

1345
01:03:15,520 --> 01:03:19,040
Speaker 2: I FITZI, I think the Bills are legit with Cook

1346
01:03:20,760 --> 01:03:24,520
Speaker 2: because Cook has just been incredible, right, So I think

1347
01:03:24,520 --> 01:03:27,320
Speaker 2: they kind of understand like if the balls inside the

1348
01:03:27,400 --> 01:03:31,080
Speaker 2: five or inside the three, Josh is going to take it.

1349
01:03:31,440 --> 01:03:34,560
Speaker 2: Otherwise we're gonna run it with Cook, right and then

1350
01:03:34,800 --> 01:03:37,040
Speaker 2: and then we'll throw off the running game.

1351
01:03:37,280 --> 01:03:39,680
Speaker 1: There's just so Jaklin Hyde, you just don't know what's

1352
01:03:39,720 --> 01:03:41,840
Speaker 1: gonna get from Buffalo. And I know they've played well,

1353
01:03:41,960 --> 01:03:43,840
Speaker 1: you know, down the stretch here, but I mean they

1354
01:03:43,880 --> 01:03:45,320
Speaker 1: easily could have lost to the Patriots.

1355
01:03:45,400 --> 01:03:50,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, football games, but that's there's a difference there. Like

1356
01:03:51,120 --> 01:03:53,800
Speaker 5: I think the Patriots the Chargers were two games that

1357
01:03:53,920 --> 01:03:56,720
Speaker 5: they almost lost. And I'm looking at it saying, my god,

1358
01:03:56,800 --> 01:03:58,560
Speaker 5: like I'm with you. I look at all of it

1359
01:03:58,600 --> 01:04:01,040
Speaker 5: on paper like this is one of those things where

1360
01:04:01,040 --> 01:04:03,800
Speaker 5: you open up the dating app and by god, she

1361
01:04:03,920 --> 01:04:05,560
Speaker 5: looks perfect, and then you go out on a date

1362
01:04:05,560 --> 01:04:07,320
Speaker 5: and you're like Nope, I'm out. Like that's where I

1363
01:04:07,320 --> 01:04:09,280
Speaker 5: am with the Bills at this point, Like everything is

1364
01:04:09,320 --> 01:04:11,760
Speaker 5: supposed to be perfect because it looks perfect and the

1365
01:04:11,800 --> 01:04:14,600
Speaker 5: talent's there, and you would think that there's the ability

1366
01:04:14,640 --> 01:04:16,720
Speaker 5: to go out and win a bunch of games. But man,

1367
01:04:16,800 --> 01:04:18,840
Speaker 5: and the funny thing is, I think the Bills are

1368
01:04:18,880 --> 01:04:21,919
Speaker 5: gonna beat the Dolphins. I genuinely think that's gonna happen tomorrow.

1369
01:04:22,200 --> 01:04:24,320
Speaker 5: I still do not trust them at all in the

1370
01:04:24,360 --> 01:04:27,800
Speaker 5: playoffs because they have not shown up too many times

1371
01:04:27,840 --> 01:04:28,240
Speaker 5: this year.

1372
01:04:29,600 --> 01:04:31,360
Speaker 2: All right, well, we'll get to them coming up in

1373
01:04:31,760 --> 01:04:34,680
Speaker 2: a minute. But let's let's talk about the Steelers for

1374
01:04:34,720 --> 01:04:37,959
Speaker 2: a second. Because Ball Theer's not gonna play, obviously, Lamar

1375
01:04:38,120 --> 01:04:41,360
Speaker 2: not playing. They're gonna sit a bunch of guys. Although

1376
01:04:41,640 --> 01:04:45,600
Speaker 2: Hontley is a good I like Huntley, it's a backup.

1377
01:04:45,960 --> 01:04:49,040
Speaker 2: I think he's dangerous. So this is not a walk

1378
01:04:49,080 --> 01:04:53,600
Speaker 2: for the Steelers. But since Rudolph has been quarterback, the

1379
01:04:53,680 --> 01:04:57,320
Speaker 2: offense looks so much better. Man, They're getting the ball,

1380
01:04:57,360 --> 01:05:00,240
Speaker 2: the pickings they're able to. That has opened up the

1381
01:05:00,320 --> 01:05:00,720
Speaker 2: run game.

1382
01:05:00,800 --> 01:05:01,120
Speaker 1: Nine M.

1383
01:05:01,240 --> 01:05:04,000
Speaker 2: Seattle is not good against the run. And you know

1384
01:05:04,560 --> 01:05:09,000
Speaker 2: Warren and Nagy had their way last week. So that's

1385
01:05:09,040 --> 01:05:14,000
Speaker 2: not going to happen against Baltimore. But they do need

1386
01:05:14,040 --> 01:05:16,200
Speaker 2: the game to give them a chance to get into playoffs.

1387
01:05:16,600 --> 01:05:19,880
Speaker 5: But here's the craziest thing, Like, if the Steelers win

1388
01:05:20,000 --> 01:05:22,640
Speaker 5: this game, a year that we have made sound like

1389
01:05:22,800 --> 01:05:26,040
Speaker 5: just the wheels are falling off the entire organization. We've

1390
01:05:26,040 --> 01:05:29,200
Speaker 5: had media people come in and saying this isn't Steeler football.

1391
01:05:29,200 --> 01:05:31,320
Speaker 5: You got Ben out there saying maybe the Steelers don't

1392
01:05:31,320 --> 01:05:32,520
Speaker 5: even remember who they were.

1393
01:05:32,800 --> 01:05:33,560
Speaker 4: All of these things.

1394
01:05:33,640 --> 01:05:36,360
Speaker 5: You got people calling for Tomlin to maybe be let

1395
01:05:36,400 --> 01:05:39,840
Speaker 5: go and go somewhere else. Steelers win, they get to

1396
01:05:39,920 --> 01:05:43,040
Speaker 5: ten and seven, ten wins, like we're talking about this

1397
01:05:43,120 --> 01:05:46,840
Speaker 5: season like it's been just an absolute dumpster fire, which

1398
01:05:46,960 --> 01:05:50,160
Speaker 5: just shows how stupidly some of the conversation has been

1399
01:05:50,240 --> 01:05:53,960
Speaker 5: dominated for the Steelers, Like maybe they're not a tremendous

1400
01:05:54,000 --> 01:05:55,840
Speaker 5: football team, but man, like it's hard for me to

1401
01:05:55,840 --> 01:05:57,280
Speaker 5: put them in the category, say.

1402
01:05:57,160 --> 01:05:58,480
Speaker 3: A tremendous football team we had.

1403
01:05:58,440 --> 01:06:02,960
Speaker 1: A quarterback right right exactly, or it's extremely difficult. You

1404
01:06:02,960 --> 01:06:05,520
Speaker 1: have a pretty dominant defensive run game if you're gonna

1405
01:06:05,520 --> 01:06:07,040
Speaker 1: get to that point in time and they don't have it.

1406
01:06:07,080 --> 01:06:09,240
Speaker 1: The crazy part Is you spend a first round pick

1407
01:06:09,280 --> 01:06:12,400
Speaker 1: on Kenny Pickett. You're throwing miss Trubisky and we know

1408
01:06:12,440 --> 01:06:14,000
Speaker 1: what he is at this point in time. Now, Mason

1409
01:06:14,040 --> 01:06:17,080
Speaker 1: Rudolph comes in and plays well, Mason Rudolph gets him

1410
01:06:17,080 --> 01:06:19,840
Speaker 1: into the postseason, and hean't forbid they actually win a

1411
01:06:19,840 --> 01:06:21,800
Speaker 1: playoff game. I don't think they will, but if they did,

1412
01:06:22,320 --> 01:06:24,360
Speaker 1: are you going into the offseason now saying like there's

1413
01:06:24,360 --> 01:06:26,640
Speaker 1: gonna be a quarterback battle between Mason Rudolph and Kenny

1414
01:06:26,640 --> 01:06:27,480
Speaker 1: Pickett for.

1415
01:06:27,560 --> 01:06:28,200
Speaker 3: Your start dealing?

1416
01:06:28,720 --> 01:06:34,439
Speaker 2: You know what I'm doing. I'm doing Who's who's available? Yeah,

1417
01:06:35,000 --> 01:06:41,400
Speaker 2: you're looking right fields available? Is Kyler Murray available?

1418
01:06:41,840 --> 01:06:47,200
Speaker 3: Like that? I'm looking. I'm squarely looking.

1419
01:06:48,600 --> 01:06:50,800
Speaker 2: Like I think the two teams that have to look,

1420
01:06:51,040 --> 01:06:54,720
Speaker 2: or three teams have to look, whether draft or free

1421
01:06:54,720 --> 01:06:59,160
Speaker 2: agency or whatever. Is you got it. You're Atlanta. It's

1422
01:06:59,240 --> 01:07:02,880
Speaker 2: clust you a season and Washington has to have a cart.

1423
01:07:02,880 --> 01:07:06,400
Speaker 2: I mean, I think show God bless him. Plays plays

1424
01:07:06,480 --> 01:07:09,520
Speaker 2: really hard and he's a tough kid, But I don't

1425
01:07:09,560 --> 01:07:13,360
Speaker 2: think he's your answer. Pittsburgh. You gotta have a quarterback,

1426
01:07:13,480 --> 01:07:15,440
Speaker 2: yea gona need the whole makeover.

1427
01:07:15,600 --> 01:07:18,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a lot of looking for quarterbacks is the issue.

1428
01:07:18,520 --> 01:07:22,080
Speaker 1: You know, the Raiders are in there. Saints, yeah, you're

1429
01:07:22,080 --> 01:07:24,960
Speaker 1: gonna stay with him. You know, there's a lot of

1430
01:07:25,040 --> 01:07:27,880
Speaker 1: quarterback needed teams. Denver is going to be in that mix.

1431
01:07:28,360 --> 01:07:29,320
Speaker 4: Going to have to draft something.

1432
01:07:29,480 --> 01:07:35,400
Speaker 2: You know, it's weird. I think they'll draft somebody. Peyton

1433
01:07:35,640 --> 01:07:41,280
Speaker 2: likes Stidham. I think he wants Stidham to take over that.

1434
01:07:41,640 --> 01:07:44,560
Speaker 2: I don't think it plays out like this without Peyton

1435
01:07:44,560 --> 01:07:46,280
Speaker 2: because he knows he's going to be in cap hell.

1436
01:07:46,800 --> 01:07:49,080
Speaker 2: But if Stifham's your quarterback and they're paying him nothing,

1437
01:07:49,960 --> 01:07:52,520
Speaker 2: I think that kind of you can get by over

1438
01:07:52,560 --> 01:07:55,400
Speaker 2: the next year or two because I think he's building

1439
01:07:55,440 --> 01:07:58,160
Speaker 2: that team. I don't think this is like some five

1440
01:07:58,240 --> 01:07:59,680
Speaker 2: year thing. I think he's wants to try to get

1441
01:07:59,720 --> 01:08:00,640
Speaker 2: to the next year.

1442
01:08:00,720 --> 01:08:03,400
Speaker 1: You'll consider how they played the majority of this. I mean, look,

1443
01:08:03,400 --> 01:08:05,000
Speaker 1: they got off to a bad start and then got

1444
01:08:05,080 --> 01:08:07,240
Speaker 1: hot and then kind of tailed off towards the end. There.

1445
01:08:07,720 --> 01:08:10,200
Speaker 1: If they can play, you know, play good defense, run

1446
01:08:10,280 --> 01:08:12,400
Speaker 1: the ball, and if Jared Stidham can be at least

1447
01:08:12,440 --> 01:08:14,400
Speaker 1: as effective and maybe not turn the ball over as

1448
01:08:14,440 --> 01:08:16,880
Speaker 1: often as Russell Wilson, maybe they can be in the

1449
01:08:16,880 --> 01:08:19,479
Speaker 1: same situation next season and be competing for a playoff spot,

1450
01:08:19,479 --> 01:08:21,000
Speaker 1: which if they're going to be in cap hell, which

1451
01:08:21,000 --> 01:08:23,840
Speaker 1: they will be with Russ's contract, that's probably the best

1452
01:08:23,840 --> 01:08:24,479
Speaker 1: you can ask for.

1453
01:08:24,920 --> 01:08:27,200
Speaker 5: I mean, they're in a kind of an interesting situation

1454
01:08:27,240 --> 01:08:29,479
Speaker 5: where all they have to do is decide they're going

1455
01:08:29,520 --> 01:08:31,559
Speaker 5: to keep Stidham and then let's see what the draft does.

1456
01:08:31,800 --> 01:08:34,080
Speaker 5: Right Like, if one of these quarterbacks have fallen and

1457
01:08:34,160 --> 01:08:36,519
Speaker 5: somebody they love happens to be there, great, and if not,

1458
01:08:36,920 --> 01:08:39,280
Speaker 5: then you address best player on the board, you keep

1459
01:08:39,280 --> 01:08:41,519
Speaker 5: addressing your whole roster, and you try and go after

1460
01:08:41,520 --> 01:08:42,479
Speaker 5: a quarterback next year.

1461
01:08:42,520 --> 01:08:44,280
Speaker 4: You know, I think they can.

1462
01:08:44,439 --> 01:08:46,240
Speaker 5: They have the luxury of trying to be patient because

1463
01:08:46,280 --> 01:08:48,479
Speaker 5: at least they have I'm not gonna say Jared Stidham

1464
01:08:48,560 --> 01:08:50,439
Speaker 5: is going to be very good, but at least they

1465
01:08:50,479 --> 01:08:52,800
Speaker 5: have somebody capable that they can put. I mean, you

1466
01:08:52,840 --> 01:08:55,760
Speaker 5: mentioned Tyler Huntley earlier in playing for the Ravens. I

1467
01:08:55,800 --> 01:08:57,760
Speaker 5: was a little surprised that Huntley didn't get some action

1468
01:08:58,280 --> 01:09:00,280
Speaker 5: this offseason to try and get a shot somewhere. Like,

1469
01:09:00,439 --> 01:09:03,080
Speaker 5: I think we're desperate enough at quarterback right now that

1470
01:09:03,960 --> 01:09:05,439
Speaker 5: every name is going to be out there. You know,

1471
01:09:05,640 --> 01:09:08,720
Speaker 5: it is interesting to see because Figgi's right, there are

1472
01:09:08,720 --> 01:09:11,600
Speaker 5: so many teams that need a quarterback. If you're the Steelers,

1473
01:09:11,680 --> 01:09:14,120
Speaker 5: you're gonna have to be aggressive because there is no

1474
01:09:14,200 --> 01:09:16,560
Speaker 5: way you can keep doing this and Kenny Pickett's not

1475
01:09:16,640 --> 01:09:17,080
Speaker 5: the answer.

1476
01:09:17,200 --> 01:09:20,479
Speaker 2: It's just not no you could tell, you know, I

1477
01:09:20,600 --> 01:09:24,439
Speaker 2: mean here Mac Jones, like, you know, it's a shame

1478
01:09:24,560 --> 01:09:27,080
Speaker 2: like at some point if all Picket had a chance,

1479
01:09:28,120 --> 01:09:29,680
Speaker 2: but you just don't say it.

1480
01:09:29,760 --> 01:09:32,519
Speaker 1: You just see flashes here and there, but not nearly

1481
01:09:32,520 --> 01:09:34,280
Speaker 1: consistent enough. He looks like a backup.

1482
01:09:34,880 --> 01:09:40,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, what do you think of Levis because I think

1483
01:09:40,320 --> 01:09:44,759
Speaker 2: he's got more of a chance than say mac Jones

1484
01:09:45,720 --> 01:09:47,679
Speaker 2: or or Picket.

1485
01:09:48,080 --> 01:09:51,799
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think Levis is one of the most interesting

1486
01:09:51,840 --> 01:09:53,640
Speaker 5: things that we're going to see this offseason because right

1487
01:09:53,680 --> 01:09:56,160
Speaker 5: now the Titans would pick seventh in the draft, so

1488
01:09:56,200 --> 01:09:58,880
Speaker 5: they will in theory have a shot at probably one

1489
01:09:58,880 --> 01:10:00,880
Speaker 5: of the top four quarterbacks draft. I would think, you know,

1490
01:10:00,920 --> 01:10:03,000
Speaker 5: maybe even one of the top three, depends on how

1491
01:10:03,000 --> 01:10:05,400
Speaker 5: it plays out. I think three are going to go one, two, three.

1492
01:10:05,760 --> 01:10:09,240
Speaker 5: But there is some level here of like, if you're

1493
01:10:09,280 --> 01:10:13,320
Speaker 5: the Titans, you can't keep wasting picks on quarterbacks and

1494
01:10:13,360 --> 01:10:15,519
Speaker 5: not giving him a chance, like well Levis was they

1495
01:10:15,520 --> 01:10:17,640
Speaker 5: traded up in the second round to get him. You

1496
01:10:17,720 --> 01:10:19,880
Speaker 5: got to give the kid a chance at some point,

1497
01:10:19,880 --> 01:10:21,280
Speaker 5: I would think, I don't know though the rest of

1498
01:10:21,320 --> 01:10:23,800
Speaker 5: the team is terrible. If I'm the Titans, I'm just

1499
01:10:23,840 --> 01:10:26,800
Speaker 5: looking at best player available. Let's just start an entire

1500
01:10:26,960 --> 01:10:31,240
Speaker 5: roster rebuild. It's interesting too, because I still can't get

1501
01:10:31,240 --> 01:10:33,160
Speaker 5: a sense on if Mike vrabel is back next year

1502
01:10:33,160 --> 01:10:34,639
Speaker 5: for the Titans, and that's going to make a huge

1503
01:10:34,640 --> 01:10:35,479
Speaker 5: difference in all this too.

1504
01:10:35,840 --> 01:10:38,200
Speaker 1: I think he's entering his lame duck season two, so

1505
01:10:38,280 --> 01:10:39,840
Speaker 1: this is kind of the time we were talking about

1506
01:10:39,880 --> 01:10:41,600
Speaker 1: an extension or you know, what are you going to

1507
01:10:41,680 --> 01:10:43,920
Speaker 1: end up doing there? But I think it's too early

1508
01:10:43,960 --> 01:10:46,160
Speaker 1: to cut bayd on Levis. Look, I wasn't necessarily a

1509
01:10:46,200 --> 01:10:48,559
Speaker 1: fan of his coming out of college, and he show flashes.

1510
01:10:48,600 --> 01:10:51,880
Speaker 1: He's had some solid performances, just not the consistency. But

1511
01:10:51,880 --> 01:10:54,000
Speaker 1: it fits his point. I mean, doesn't really have a

1512
01:10:54,040 --> 01:10:56,320
Speaker 1: lot of weapons to work with, and the offensive lines

1513
01:10:56,360 --> 01:10:58,920
Speaker 1: have been that good and Derek Henry yes has crossed

1514
01:10:58,920 --> 01:11:01,280
Speaker 1: a thousand yard rushing mark, but it's definitely hit the

1515
01:11:01,320 --> 01:11:03,719
Speaker 1: decline at this point. So you have a rookie quarterback

1516
01:11:03,760 --> 01:11:05,160
Speaker 1: that doesn't have a lot to work with, you can't

1517
01:11:05,200 --> 01:11:07,600
Speaker 1: really expect all that much. So I think it's a

1518
01:11:07,600 --> 01:11:10,040
Speaker 1: little bit too early or premature to try to draw

1519
01:11:10,080 --> 01:11:11,960
Speaker 1: a judgment based on what he can or can be

1520
01:11:11,960 --> 01:11:13,640
Speaker 1: because he just hasn't had much to work with.

1521
01:11:15,280 --> 01:11:20,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel you, I completely feel you, all right,

1522
01:11:21,400 --> 01:11:24,320
Speaker 2: the Texans and the Colts.

1523
01:11:24,720 --> 01:11:27,479
Speaker 3: Oh, this is a great game.

1524
01:11:28,479 --> 01:11:28,679
Speaker 1: Now.

1525
01:11:28,760 --> 01:11:29,719
Speaker 3: I love the Texas.

1526
01:11:30,200 --> 01:11:33,360
Speaker 2: I like the Texas, and I I just love CJ.

1527
01:11:35,040 --> 01:11:39,200
Speaker 2: The level of quarterback play. It's completely eclipped to anything

1528
01:11:39,240 --> 01:11:41,960
Speaker 2: I thought he would be at. I thought he was

1529
01:11:41,960 --> 01:11:43,559
Speaker 2: a project. I thought he was going to be good,

1530
01:11:43,920 --> 01:11:46,280
Speaker 2: but I thought it would take some time. He's just

1531
01:11:46,360 --> 01:11:50,320
Speaker 2: been incredible. I mean, I mean playing amazing quarterback.

1532
01:11:51,320 --> 01:11:54,160
Speaker 5: And to me, this game is very simple, which team

1533
01:11:54,240 --> 01:11:57,720
Speaker 5: is going to make the mistake? And so far this year, Now,

1534
01:11:57,760 --> 01:11:59,679
Speaker 5: I know the Colts didn't make a mistake last week,

1535
01:12:00,120 --> 01:12:02,600
Speaker 5: but so far this year c J. Stroud has not

1536
01:12:02,880 --> 01:12:05,360
Speaker 5: typically made the mistake that cost his team a game,

1537
01:12:05,640 --> 01:12:08,320
Speaker 5: and we have seen Gardner do that a couple of times. Right, So,

1538
01:12:08,760 --> 01:12:11,439
Speaker 5: to me, if all things being equal, going into this matchup,

1539
01:12:11,640 --> 01:12:14,120
Speaker 5: I like the Texans in the game, simply because I

1540
01:12:14,120 --> 01:12:16,120
Speaker 5: can't believe I'm saying this about a rookie that hasn't

1541
01:12:16,120 --> 01:12:17,160
Speaker 5: even finished his first year.

1542
01:12:17,400 --> 01:12:18,040
Speaker 4: I trust c J.

1543
01:12:18,160 --> 01:12:21,040
Speaker 5: Stroud far more than I trust Gardner Minshew. And that's

1544
01:12:21,080 --> 01:12:24,280
Speaker 5: just I trust the weapons too. I trust the entirety

1545
01:12:24,360 --> 01:12:26,960
Speaker 5: of the Texans' ability to hold on to the football.

1546
01:12:27,200 --> 01:12:28,800
Speaker 4: I think the Texans win this football game.

1547
01:12:29,479 --> 01:12:31,680
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, the people that made it play last week

1548
01:12:31,720 --> 01:12:34,519
Speaker 1: for Indianapolis with the zebras who called Jack Jones off

1549
01:12:34,520 --> 01:12:36,280
Speaker 1: sides on a clearly he was not and got a

1550
01:12:36,320 --> 01:12:38,240
Speaker 1: good jump on the field goal block. But I digress.

1551
01:12:38,560 --> 01:12:40,200
Speaker 1: I agree with you guys when we come back to

1552
01:12:40,280 --> 01:12:42,120
Speaker 1: Houston on this one.

1553
01:12:42,840 --> 01:12:43,120
Speaker 8: C J.

1554
01:12:43,160 --> 01:12:45,120
Speaker 1: Stroud, to your point, has been absolutely amazing, and they

1555
01:12:45,120 --> 01:12:46,760
Speaker 1: look they have the one game where case Keenum got

1556
01:12:46,760 --> 01:12:48,320
Speaker 1: the start and he played well and didn't play well

1557
01:12:48,360 --> 01:12:52,240
Speaker 1: the following week. The fact that we're at a time

1558
01:12:52,320 --> 01:12:54,400
Speaker 1: now where a rookie quarterback can make that much of

1559
01:12:54,439 --> 01:12:56,880
Speaker 1: a difference for an offense and it looks night and

1560
01:12:56,960 --> 01:13:00,200
Speaker 1: day when he's not in there just tells you how

1561
01:13:00,240 --> 01:13:02,160
Speaker 1: amazing of a player that he is and the impact

1562
01:13:02,200 --> 01:13:04,880
Speaker 1: that he's made from day one to your point, and

1563
01:13:04,960 --> 01:13:06,960
Speaker 1: He's an enjoyable watch. Every time I get a chance

1564
01:13:07,000 --> 01:13:08,640
Speaker 1: to watch the Houston Texans, I make sure that I

1565
01:13:08,640 --> 01:13:11,320
Speaker 1: do when c. J. Stroud is playing, because it's it's

1566
01:13:11,360 --> 01:13:14,200
Speaker 1: amazing to watch a rookie work the way that he does.

1567
01:13:14,240 --> 01:13:16,679
Speaker 1: I will give credit to the Indiapolis coas Stephen being

1568
01:13:16,680 --> 01:13:18,679
Speaker 1: in this position, because there are a lot of people

1569
01:13:19,000 --> 01:13:21,800
Speaker 1: coming into the season stand they're not good. You know,

1570
01:13:22,479 --> 01:13:25,360
Speaker 1: Richardson gets hurt early in the season. Minshew is a

1571
01:13:25,400 --> 01:13:27,880
Speaker 1: backup and for a back, and I think he's a

1572
01:13:27,880 --> 01:13:29,920
Speaker 1: really quality backup. To ask him to play for the

1573
01:13:30,120 --> 01:13:33,800
Speaker 1: basically the entire season, He's done an admirable job. And

1574
01:13:33,880 --> 01:13:36,240
Speaker 1: Psychin is gone a really good job getting this team

1575
01:13:36,280 --> 01:13:38,519
Speaker 1: to nine and potentially ten victories and even knocking on

1576
01:13:38,520 --> 01:13:40,000
Speaker 1: the door for the playoffs when a lot of people

1577
01:13:40,000 --> 01:13:42,800
Speaker 1: thought this was a four or five win team.

1578
01:13:43,080 --> 01:13:45,400
Speaker 4: Gardner's gonna start somewhere right next year.

1579
01:13:45,439 --> 01:13:47,360
Speaker 1: He's gonna be a bridge guy, right, I guess see

1580
01:13:47,360 --> 01:13:49,160
Speaker 1: one of those teams.

1581
01:13:47,960 --> 01:13:52,000
Speaker 3: That starts if.

1582
01:13:50,920 --> 01:13:53,880
Speaker 1: Depending on how the offseason breaks down and who drafts who,

1583
01:13:53,920 --> 01:13:55,760
Speaker 1: and if the if a rookie is not ready yet,

1584
01:13:55,920 --> 01:13:58,080
Speaker 1: I can see him being a bridge guy. One hundred per.

1585
01:13:59,560 --> 01:14:03,800
Speaker 2: We'll take quick till will come right back. We'll look

1586
01:14:03,800 --> 01:14:08,000
Speaker 2: at Tamar's Big slate where the fellas right here on

1587
01:14:08,120 --> 01:14:14,200
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio. Welcome back Fellas from the tai Raq

1588
01:14:14,280 --> 01:14:20,919
Speaker 2: dot Com studios. Jason Fitz, I'm Anthony Gargano, Kevin Figures Figgie.

1589
01:14:21,880 --> 01:14:28,320
Speaker 2: As we hang out on this incredible week. Last week eighteen,

1590
01:14:29,400 --> 01:14:33,000
Speaker 2: two interesting games, we were talking about Steeves Ravens, Texans Cults.

1591
01:14:34,240 --> 01:14:37,000
Speaker 2: Enough can't be said about Change Stikeen and what he's done.

1592
01:14:37,120 --> 01:14:42,000
Speaker 2: He not only have the Cults been really good nine

1593
01:14:42,040 --> 01:14:45,960
Speaker 2: and seven, the whole thing, but Dave endured injuries. You

1594
01:14:46,000 --> 01:14:50,200
Speaker 2: mentioned the quarterback spot with Anthony Richardson and Minshew having

1595
01:14:50,200 --> 01:14:53,559
Speaker 2: to come in. But beyond that, I mean Taylor's been

1596
01:14:53,600 --> 01:14:57,439
Speaker 2: in and out, Pittman has been in and out. Their

1597
01:14:57,560 --> 01:15:02,240
Speaker 2: defense has been split by injuries at times. I mean

1598
01:15:02,240 --> 01:15:04,879
Speaker 2: they've been banged up. For a team that's still alive

1599
01:15:05,600 --> 01:15:07,639
Speaker 2: in the AFC South, they've been banged up.

1600
01:15:08,360 --> 01:15:11,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that's a huge key of why sometimes

1601
01:15:11,360 --> 01:15:14,080
Speaker 5: the context of where season's gone as we start to

1602
01:15:14,080 --> 01:15:16,799
Speaker 5: look forward, and it's always difficult to look into future

1603
01:15:16,880 --> 01:15:18,679
Speaker 5: years because the league changes over so much.

1604
01:15:18,840 --> 01:15:20,240
Speaker 4: But if you're the Colts organization.

1605
01:15:20,320 --> 01:15:22,160
Speaker 5: Right now, you've got to feel good about the fact

1606
01:15:22,160 --> 01:15:24,479
Speaker 5: that you've got some young guys locked up that you

1607
01:15:24,520 --> 01:15:27,200
Speaker 5: know can play, and you've got young guys that are developing,

1608
01:15:27,240 --> 01:15:30,360
Speaker 5: like Pittman is has truly become this revelation, right, Like

1609
01:15:30,640 --> 01:15:33,040
Speaker 5: Pittman is not just pretty good, like right now, if

1610
01:15:33,040 --> 01:15:35,200
Speaker 5: you're the culture looking at and saying, we have a

1611
01:15:35,280 --> 01:15:39,120
Speaker 5: great weapon. So yeah, you start to look at the

1612
01:15:39,160 --> 01:15:41,479
Speaker 5: way the roster is constructed and you feel like, man,

1613
01:15:41,920 --> 01:15:44,000
Speaker 5: it's amazing how different we feel about the Texans and

1614
01:15:44,040 --> 01:15:46,720
Speaker 5: the Cults frankly right now compared to where we thought

1615
01:15:46,720 --> 01:15:49,599
Speaker 5: we would feel a year ago. Right, So kudos to them,

1616
01:15:49,600 --> 01:15:51,880
Speaker 5: and that's why I think this is such a building block.

1617
01:15:52,160 --> 01:15:55,320
Speaker 5: It is crazy that they've lost a year of reps

1618
01:15:55,360 --> 01:15:58,080
Speaker 5: for Anthony Richardson, because I do think we can't forget

1619
01:15:58,120 --> 01:16:02,679
Speaker 5: the one argument on Anthony coming in into the draft

1620
01:16:02,760 --> 01:16:05,000
Speaker 5: is that he just hadn't played a lot of football.

1621
01:16:05,280 --> 01:16:07,639
Speaker 5: So it's interesting that that's what we thought this year

1622
01:16:07,760 --> 01:16:09,840
Speaker 5: was going to be, was this learning curve year for

1623
01:16:09,920 --> 01:16:12,519
Speaker 5: Anthony richards and now that's going to be next year

1624
01:16:12,560 --> 01:16:14,600
Speaker 5: as he tries to learn and rock that knock the

1625
01:16:14,680 --> 01:16:17,599
Speaker 5: rust off like, that's a kind of a weird dynamic

1626
01:16:17,640 --> 01:16:20,240
Speaker 5: to go into next season with considering the success they've had.

1627
01:16:20,960 --> 01:16:23,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, especially difficult because he did get a few reps

1628
01:16:23,520 --> 01:16:27,040
Speaker 1: in the season opener and played pretty well against Jacksonville.

1629
01:16:27,120 --> 01:16:29,760
Speaker 1: So and then you talk about getting guys getting mental reps, Well,

1630
01:16:29,760 --> 01:16:31,960
Speaker 1: he wasn't even to get able to get practice reps either.

1631
01:16:32,000 --> 01:16:34,519
Speaker 1: He just bent the entire year rehabbing. So that's no

1632
01:16:34,640 --> 01:16:36,960
Speaker 1: reps whatsoever. It's be different if he was sitting on

1633
01:16:37,000 --> 01:16:39,040
Speaker 1: the bench as a rookie and just sitting behind a

1634
01:16:39,120 --> 01:16:41,200
Speaker 1: veteran and getting mental and physical reps in practice. He

1635
01:16:41,200 --> 01:16:43,519
Speaker 1: hasn't even been able to do that. And by the way,

1636
01:16:43,560 --> 01:16:45,479
Speaker 1: for a team like the colt some people would say like, oh,

1637
01:16:45,479 --> 01:16:47,880
Speaker 1: they haven't played anybody on their schedule. I mean, you

1638
01:16:47,960 --> 01:16:50,639
Speaker 1: realize they beat Houston earlier this year. They actually beat

1639
01:16:50,640 --> 01:16:53,320
Speaker 1: Baltimore and overtime earlier this year. I mean, they have

1640
01:16:53,400 --> 01:16:55,880
Speaker 1: some quality wins on their schedule. Granted most of them

1641
01:16:55,880 --> 01:16:58,640
Speaker 1: were early in the season, but Tampa Bay is a

1642
01:16:58,640 --> 01:17:02,080
Speaker 1: playoff caliber team. I'll be in the NFC South, but

1643
01:17:02,120 --> 01:17:04,000
Speaker 1: it's not like they've just had this cupcake schedule that

1644
01:17:04,040 --> 01:17:05,800
Speaker 1: they've run through to get to nine wins, They've had

1645
01:17:05,840 --> 01:17:08,320
Speaker 1: some really tough opponents that they've played when they've played

1646
01:17:08,360 --> 01:17:10,040
Speaker 1: really tough in most of these games, So I think

1647
01:17:10,400 --> 01:17:12,120
Speaker 1: it's a positive moment for them moving forward.

1648
01:17:12,320 --> 01:17:14,840
Speaker 5: But Figgie, like, I'm just going to make this bold

1649
01:17:14,880 --> 01:17:18,120
Speaker 5: proclamation about the NFL this year. I think any conversation

1650
01:17:18,200 --> 01:17:20,599
Speaker 5: about who you have or haven't beaten this year should

1651
01:17:20,640 --> 01:17:23,320
Speaker 5: just be used as toilet paper, like it is completely

1652
01:17:23,400 --> 01:17:26,720
Speaker 5: useless because this has been the most inconsistent up and

1653
01:17:26,760 --> 01:17:29,439
Speaker 5: down year I can ever remember in the NFL where

1654
01:17:29,439 --> 01:17:31,519
Speaker 5: a bad team comes out in place with the thunder

1655
01:17:31,560 --> 01:17:33,880
Speaker 5: of the gods, and so you can turn around and say, well,

1656
01:17:33,880 --> 01:17:36,160
Speaker 5: how did you lose to the Cardinals? Then you watch

1657
01:17:36,200 --> 01:17:38,680
Speaker 5: the game and say, man, the Cardinals came out and

1658
01:17:38,720 --> 01:17:42,360
Speaker 5: played lights out. This wasn't playing down to an opponent,

1659
01:17:42,400 --> 01:17:45,479
Speaker 5: This was an opponent playing up to that moment, right Like, So,

1660
01:17:45,840 --> 01:17:48,280
Speaker 5: I think because you're totally right in what you're saying

1661
01:17:48,479 --> 01:17:50,559
Speaker 5: in the context of their season, I just am also

1662
01:17:50,600 --> 01:17:54,040
Speaker 5: going to add the extra level here of because this

1663
01:17:54,160 --> 01:17:57,160
Speaker 5: year was so inconsistent as far as bad teams that

1664
01:17:57,240 --> 01:18:00,280
Speaker 5: came out big at different times. I think frankly, every

1665
01:18:00,320 --> 01:18:02,200
Speaker 5: win actually has a lot of weight this year in

1666
01:18:02,200 --> 01:18:02,679
Speaker 5: the NFL.

1667
01:18:03,760 --> 01:18:04,160
Speaker 4: It's fair.

1668
01:18:04,240 --> 01:18:06,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I would agree.

1669
01:18:06,360 --> 01:18:09,160
Speaker 1: Oh, We'll say, considering how how the Eagles have played

1670
01:18:09,160 --> 01:18:12,280
Speaker 1: of late, last week was a really bad omen for

1671
01:18:12,320 --> 01:18:14,920
Speaker 1: them against the Arizona Cardinals team that does not typically

1672
01:18:15,000 --> 01:18:17,800
Speaker 1: run the ball very well, and they just out muscle them.

1673
01:18:17,960 --> 01:18:19,760
Speaker 1: I mean, they out physical with them from day from

1674
01:18:19,800 --> 01:18:22,400
Speaker 1: from jump, if not from a couple of big plays

1675
01:18:22,400 --> 01:18:24,559
Speaker 1: in a pick six. I mean, Arizona was dominating that

1676
01:18:24,560 --> 01:18:26,960
Speaker 1: game pretty much from start to finish, despite the fact

1677
01:18:26,960 --> 01:18:28,160
Speaker 1: they were amusing at halftime.

1678
01:18:28,680 --> 01:18:28,920
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1679
01:18:28,920 --> 01:18:30,840
Speaker 2: Well, I'll give you the state of the Eagles. It's

1680
01:18:30,880 --> 01:18:31,960
Speaker 2: not it's not good.

1681
01:18:32,080 --> 01:18:32,320
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1682
01:18:32,600 --> 01:18:34,120
Speaker 4: Let me ask you this, who's mailed it in?

1683
01:18:34,640 --> 01:18:36,559
Speaker 5: Like because usually at this point of the like, I'll say,

1684
01:18:36,600 --> 01:18:39,200
Speaker 5: Carolina is you know, Carolina has been an easy win

1685
01:18:39,240 --> 01:18:42,920
Speaker 5: all year. Outside of Carolina, do we really believe like

1686
01:18:43,240 --> 01:18:45,000
Speaker 5: New England is one of the worst teams in the

1687
01:18:45,120 --> 01:18:47,040
Speaker 5: NFL not for lack of effort.

1688
01:18:47,760 --> 01:18:50,000
Speaker 3: I mean Giants White did Giants play hard?

1689
01:18:50,120 --> 01:18:50,479
Speaker 1: For sure?

1690
01:18:50,560 --> 01:18:52,960
Speaker 3: I mean Washington's been a little.

1691
01:18:52,960 --> 01:18:56,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, Washington, they've been lucky, but there don't have you know,

1692
01:18:57,560 --> 01:18:59,599
Speaker 1: I mean, I just still can't believe they traded away

1693
01:18:59,640 --> 01:19:01,799
Speaker 1: when they trade away Chase Young Montest sweat.

1694
01:19:02,280 --> 01:19:06,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, like that was a big that was it for

1695
01:19:06,120 --> 01:19:06,679
Speaker 2: their defense.

1696
01:19:06,720 --> 01:19:07,960
Speaker 3: Their defense just became horrid.

1697
01:19:08,000 --> 01:19:10,000
Speaker 1: It was actually puzzling for me that they traded Montes,

1698
01:19:10,600 --> 01:19:12,799
Speaker 1: that Chicago traded for him. But he's made a difference

1699
01:19:12,800 --> 01:19:15,640
Speaker 1: and they put themselves to a great position at the

1700
01:19:15,680 --> 01:19:18,000
Speaker 1: end of the season going into next year.

1701
01:19:18,120 --> 01:19:20,400
Speaker 2: Oh my god, we gotta talk about the Bears, Like, yeah,

1702
01:19:20,400 --> 01:19:23,160
Speaker 2: we've been talking about them a lot, but yeah, you know,

1703
01:19:23,200 --> 01:19:25,360
Speaker 2: it's funny. The team that missed out on Montest sweat

1704
01:19:25,400 --> 01:19:28,400
Speaker 2: was the Lions. Like, could you imagine if you guys

1705
01:19:28,479 --> 01:19:33,680
Speaker 2: him opposite Hutchinson's shoes? Scary it would have been. It

1706
01:19:33,720 --> 01:19:36,880
Speaker 2: would have been frightening, it really would. We got a

1707
01:19:37,000 --> 01:19:41,120
Speaker 2: full slate on Sunday games to get to all kinds

1708

1722
01:20:37,080 --> 01:20:41,160
Speaker 2: tonight's games, and let's look at tomorrow boys. As we

1723
01:20:41,240 --> 01:20:46,960
Speaker 2: dive into it and we begin, Tampa can win the

1724
01:20:47,600 --> 01:20:53,960
Speaker 2: NFC South Derrik Carolina Carolina. Well, first, let's tackle the Buccaneers.

1725
01:20:54,840 --> 01:20:58,840
Speaker 2: Can the Buccaneers make any noise like it's funny? They

1726
01:20:58,840 --> 01:21:01,719
Speaker 2: got trounced last week two weeks ago? They look good.

1727
01:21:02,200 --> 01:21:06,760
Speaker 2: Baker was sensational a couple of weeks ago. Can the

1728
01:21:06,840 --> 01:21:10,639
Speaker 2: Buccaneers like especially if they match up against like say,

1729
01:21:10,680 --> 01:21:14,120
Speaker 2: the Eagles. Can the Tampa Bay Buccaneers win a playoff game?

1730
01:21:14,520 --> 01:21:18,559
Speaker 4: Nah? No. The thing of it is, you're right.

1731
01:21:18,640 --> 01:21:21,040
Speaker 5: And Baker, by the way, gonna make himself some money

1732
01:21:21,320 --> 01:21:23,160
Speaker 5: today if they make the playoffs. He gets a nice

1733
01:21:23,160 --> 01:21:26,200
Speaker 5: little cash bonus for that too, So good for him.

1734
01:21:26,200 --> 01:21:28,840
Speaker 5: I hope that that opportunity comes. I think Baker is

1735
01:21:28,920 --> 01:21:32,320
Speaker 5: interesting because part of the Bucks season sort of becomes

1736
01:21:32,320 --> 01:21:34,840
Speaker 5: about what we've seen from him in my mind, and

1737
01:21:34,880 --> 01:21:36,479
Speaker 5: you just mentioned a couple of weeks ago he looked

1738
01:21:36,520 --> 01:21:38,880
Speaker 5: fantastic and then sort of the wheels fell off. I'm

1739
01:21:38,920 --> 01:21:41,639
Speaker 5: trying to figure out what's real with Baker Mayfield, what's

1740
01:21:41,680 --> 01:21:44,439
Speaker 5: real with the Bucks, what's real with how good they

1741
01:21:44,479 --> 01:21:47,320
Speaker 5: actually are. I just think every year there's one of

1742
01:21:47,320 --> 01:21:49,519
Speaker 5: those teams. And we always used to see Hawks years

1743
01:21:49,520 --> 01:21:53,479
Speaker 5: ago in the losing record, there's one team that you're like, eh, yeah,

1744
01:21:53,560 --> 01:21:56,439
Speaker 5: you made the playoffs, Congratulations, you weren't any good. I'm

1745
01:21:56,479 --> 01:21:58,240
Speaker 5: not saying the Bucks aren't good. I just think that

1746
01:21:58,280 --> 01:22:00,479
Speaker 5: they're a lot closer to being one of those teams

1747
01:22:00,640 --> 01:22:02,600
Speaker 5: than they are to being an actually good foot. Like

1748
01:22:02,640 --> 01:22:05,000
Speaker 5: I know, the Eagles have their wards and the sky

1749
01:22:05,120 --> 01:22:07,400
Speaker 5: is falling and it hasn't looked as good as it should.

1750
01:22:07,840 --> 01:22:10,479
Speaker 5: But I still think that you just you stack the

1751
01:22:10,520 --> 01:22:11,960
Speaker 5: two of them together. If I had to bet my house,

1752
01:22:11,960 --> 01:22:13,559
Speaker 5: I would take Philly over Tampa right now.

1753
01:22:13,880 --> 01:22:16,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, because you spotlight Tampa and say, Okay, what's one

1754
01:22:16,120 --> 01:22:18,599
Speaker 1: thing that they do exceptionally well, I don't know if

1755
01:22:18,640 --> 01:22:21,200
Speaker 1: there is. You know, they they don't run the ball

1756
01:22:21,280 --> 01:22:24,160
Speaker 1: exceedingly well. Rash Out White is solid at times. Baker

1757
01:22:24,200 --> 01:22:27,680
Speaker 1: Mayfield had a good year, but certainly had to make consistencies.

1758
01:22:28,200 --> 01:22:30,920
Speaker 1: And I don't really trust them defensively either. Most weeks

1759
01:22:30,960 --> 01:22:33,960
Speaker 1: they're fairly inconsistent. So even against the team that is

1760
01:22:34,000 --> 01:22:36,920
Speaker 1: as inconsistent as the Eagles are, I really don't know

1761
01:22:36,960 --> 01:22:38,320
Speaker 1: if I trust them to really make a lot of

1762
01:22:38,360 --> 01:22:41,519
Speaker 1: noise against any potential opponent in the NFC playoffs in the.

1763
01:22:41,520 --> 01:22:44,800
Speaker 2: First round, to be honest, So I obviously I would

1764
01:22:44,840 --> 01:22:45,639
Speaker 2: agree with you guys.

1765
01:22:45,840 --> 01:22:48,440
Speaker 3: The only thing that would give me pause against.

1766
01:22:48,120 --> 01:22:52,639
Speaker 2: Tampa and it is a fact the Eagles back seven

1767
01:22:52,800 --> 01:22:56,920
Speaker 2: so bad, Yeah that you got you still got Mike

1768
01:22:56,920 --> 01:22:59,040
Speaker 2: Evans and you still got God when they both can

1769
01:22:59,080 --> 01:23:02,519
Speaker 2: play so and in Cotton's not a bad tight end,

1770
01:23:02,600 --> 01:23:07,080
Speaker 2: so are kaye Otton. So I mean that would be

1771
01:23:07,160 --> 01:23:11,040
Speaker 2: the only danger, like why the game could be a

1772
01:23:11,200 --> 01:23:14,439
Speaker 2: swag because I could see Baker from for like three

1773
01:23:14,520 --> 01:23:16,960
Speaker 2: hundred yards and the game being you know, I could

1774
01:23:16,960 --> 01:23:19,880
Speaker 2: see the Eagles like winning, but it would be like

1775
01:23:19,920 --> 01:23:22,479
Speaker 2: twenty seven, twenty four or something along those lines.

1776
01:23:22,720 --> 01:23:25,360
Speaker 5: All this too has me and I was going to

1777
01:23:25,439 --> 01:23:29,080
Speaker 5: run this by you today anyway, to me, you see

1778
01:23:29,120 --> 01:23:31,120
Speaker 5: the demise. I won't say the demise, you see the

1779
01:23:31,160 --> 01:23:32,439
Speaker 5: step back from the Eagles.

1780
01:23:32,520 --> 01:23:33,360
Speaker 4: Let's say it that way.

1781
01:23:33,680 --> 01:23:35,360
Speaker 5: This year, we've talked a lot about the fact that,

1782
01:23:35,439 --> 01:23:38,800
Speaker 5: you know, coordinators, replacing coordinators isn't always easy, and then

1783
01:23:38,840 --> 01:23:42,320
Speaker 5: you see what particularly those two coordinators have done as

1784
01:23:42,360 --> 01:23:45,519
Speaker 5: head coaches. I think it just speaks to how good

1785
01:23:45,560 --> 01:23:48,800
Speaker 5: the staff was last year and how much Chef's kiss

1786
01:23:48,880 --> 01:23:52,040
Speaker 5: credit the coaches deserve and part of what was accomplished there,

1787
01:23:52,080 --> 01:23:54,639
Speaker 5: because like the loss of Shane steike and Jonathan Gannon

1788
01:23:54,680 --> 01:23:56,840
Speaker 5: has been as significant as anything we've seen in the

1789
01:23:56,960 --> 01:23:59,360
Speaker 5: NFL this year when you look at the impact it's

1790
01:23:59,400 --> 01:24:02,720
Speaker 5: had on any particular team. The Eagles taking a step back,

1791
01:24:02,760 --> 01:24:05,639
Speaker 5: the Colts taking a step forward. The Cardinals, while they're

1792
01:24:05,680 --> 01:24:08,120
Speaker 5: not a great football team, have played really tough and

1793
01:24:08,200 --> 01:24:10,160
Speaker 5: have had some big wins along the way. Like, I

1794
01:24:10,200 --> 01:24:12,479
Speaker 5: feel like there's some sort of a coaching statement that

1795
01:24:12,479 --> 01:24:14,800
Speaker 5: comes out of what's happened from those former coordinators of

1796
01:24:14,840 --> 01:24:15,320
Speaker 5: the Eagles.

1797
01:24:15,680 --> 01:24:18,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll tell you this, they missed stiking big time.

1798
01:24:18,800 --> 01:24:23,160
Speaker 2: They do. They Missedtyking in a big, big way. I

1799
01:24:23,320 --> 01:24:25,439
Speaker 2: like Brian Johnson a lot. I don't know that he's

1800
01:24:25,479 --> 01:24:27,160
Speaker 2: ready to or that he was ready to be the

1801
01:24:27,160 --> 01:24:32,680
Speaker 2: play caller. I thought they were proved too predictable, you know.

1802
01:24:33,880 --> 01:24:38,080
Speaker 2: I think stike In was sharp, and I think he's

1803
01:24:38,080 --> 01:24:43,240
Speaker 2: showing that in Indianapolis. As far as the defense concern,

1804
01:24:46,479 --> 01:24:48,760
Speaker 2: not taking either from Gannon and they had a ton

1805
01:24:48,800 --> 01:24:51,360
Speaker 2: of sacks last year, But there was a couple of

1806
01:24:51,400 --> 01:24:54,960
Speaker 2: things that played in their favor. One their front was

1807
01:24:55,040 --> 01:24:58,920
Speaker 2: so ridiculous last year. Yeah, I mean, Hargrave was amazing.

1808
01:24:59,520 --> 01:25:04,240
Speaker 2: Son was amazing. Uh, you got veterans like Brandon Graham

1809
01:25:04,280 --> 01:25:05,000
Speaker 2: and Fletcher Cox.

1810
01:25:05,000 --> 01:25:10,160
Speaker 3: They were a year younger. So this year, I mean

1811
01:25:10,160 --> 01:25:11,080
Speaker 3: he had a rookie wall.

1812
01:25:11,560 --> 01:25:15,000
Speaker 2: Jordan Davis and Baldy pointed this out the other day

1813
01:25:15,080 --> 01:25:19,200
Speaker 2: during our show. George Davis has just been a non factor.

1814
01:25:19,920 --> 01:25:22,160
Speaker 2: He's barely a factor in the run game. Like, he's

1815
01:25:22,320 --> 01:25:25,080
Speaker 2: just been a huge disappointment.

1816
01:25:25,160 --> 01:25:27,680
Speaker 1: He made such an impact for them last year. That's surprising.

1817
01:25:28,320 --> 01:25:31,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's I mean, he has been bad and non

1818
01:25:31,560 --> 01:25:34,920
Speaker 2: existent in passing down and passing down. He's out of shape,

1819
01:25:35,240 --> 01:25:37,400
Speaker 2: Baldy said, he heard it. You know, they're struggling with

1820
01:25:37,439 --> 01:25:40,320
Speaker 2: his weight. That was always the fear with him is

1821
01:25:40,400 --> 01:25:43,120
Speaker 2: that you know, would he be okay, you know, would

1822
01:25:43,160 --> 01:25:46,040
Speaker 2: be able to navigate and take care of himself. So

1823
01:25:47,120 --> 01:25:50,400
Speaker 2: that's been a big problem. And then they're back their

1824
01:25:50,439 --> 01:25:55,280
Speaker 2: back ends not good Yeah, not good man, Well he's

1825
01:25:55,320 --> 01:25:55,760
Speaker 2: been out.

1826
01:25:55,920 --> 01:25:56,160
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1827
01:25:56,240 --> 01:25:57,680
Speaker 1: I mean the back end to a degree was there

1828
01:25:57,720 --> 01:25:59,760
Speaker 1: Achilles Hill last year, but it was covered up because

1829
01:25:59,800 --> 01:26:00,920
Speaker 1: the seven was so good.

1830
01:26:01,800 --> 01:26:03,880
Speaker 5: That's I mean, that's the approach for so many teams,

1831
01:26:03,880 --> 01:26:06,200
Speaker 5: Like we hear that for years, but I think you

1832
01:26:06,240 --> 01:26:08,920
Speaker 5: really see it this year that you know, you as

1833
01:26:09,000 --> 01:26:11,599
Speaker 5: a team, when you build your your structure right now,

1834
01:26:11,640 --> 01:26:13,360
Speaker 5: I think you've got to decide you're gonna either be

1835
01:26:13,439 --> 01:26:16,599
Speaker 5: dominant in coverage or you're gonna be dominant in trying

1836
01:26:16,600 --> 01:26:19,519
Speaker 5: to rush the passer. And we are seeing so many

1837
01:26:19,840 --> 01:26:21,280
Speaker 5: we talked about this about a month ago.

1838
01:26:21,680 --> 01:26:24,080
Speaker 4: There are so many freakish.

1839
01:26:23,840 --> 01:26:26,719
Speaker 5: Pass rushers in the NFL right now, Like that seems

1840
01:26:26,760 --> 01:26:28,960
Speaker 5: to become the methodology. Can you get somebody that can

1841
01:26:28,960 --> 01:26:31,559
Speaker 5: get after the quarterback quickly? And pass rushers are gonna

1842
01:26:31,560 --> 01:26:33,439
Speaker 5: make more and more and more money. Like we're living

1843
01:26:33,479 --> 01:26:36,479
Speaker 5: in an era where, you know, a generation to go,

1844
01:26:37,200 --> 01:26:39,240
Speaker 5: it would have been any one of these guys getting

1845
01:26:39,240 --> 01:26:41,519
Speaker 5: after the pastor would have been the guy for that generation,

1846
01:26:41,640 --> 01:26:44,400
Speaker 5: like Max Crosby would have been a superstar in the

1847
01:26:44,560 --> 01:26:49,360
Speaker 5: like defining league guy my uh Garrett would have been

1848
01:26:49,400 --> 01:26:51,479
Speaker 5: one of those guys. JJ Watt would have been or

1849
01:26:51,520 --> 01:26:53,479
Speaker 5: t J Watt would have been one of those guys. Like,

1850
01:26:54,080 --> 01:26:56,040
Speaker 5: and they're all right now feasting in the league at

1851
01:26:56,080 --> 01:26:59,760
Speaker 5: the same time, right, Like, Yeah, that's just it's amazing

1852
01:26:59,840 --> 01:27:02,640
Speaker 5: how pass rush has really impacted everything.

1853
01:27:03,560 --> 01:27:05,040
Speaker 3: No, I know, you're right.

1854
01:27:06,000 --> 01:27:08,200
Speaker 2: The other thing that I think was I don't want

1855
01:27:08,200 --> 01:27:10,360
Speaker 2: to say half a fool gayzy, but if you go

1856
01:27:10,479 --> 01:27:12,639
Speaker 2: back last year, they did not this year. They played

1857
01:27:12,640 --> 01:27:16,479
Speaker 2: the first play schedule last year. They did not last year.

1858
01:27:16,800 --> 01:27:20,880
Speaker 2: They did not play uh many good quarterbacks. They got

1859
01:27:20,960 --> 01:27:25,000
Speaker 2: lucky that they faced a lot of teams without your

1860
01:27:25,479 --> 01:27:29,800
Speaker 2: either they faced bad quarterbacks or quarterbacks who were hurt.

1861
01:27:30,080 --> 01:27:30,599
Speaker 3: Even in the.

1862
01:27:30,560 --> 01:27:33,439
Speaker 2: Playoffs, they got, you know, six plays at a party

1863
01:27:34,120 --> 01:27:36,240
Speaker 2: and then you had to face the Giants and Daniel

1864
01:27:36,320 --> 01:27:39,840
Speaker 2: Jones and that was it until you face Mahomes who

1865
01:27:39,880 --> 01:27:42,760
Speaker 2: weigh them up on one leg. So I think their

1866
01:27:42,800 --> 01:27:46,760
Speaker 2: defense last year was a bit of I don't want

1867
01:27:46,760 --> 01:27:49,400
Speaker 2: to say it a fraud, but it was it was,

1868
01:27:50,400 --> 01:27:51,280
Speaker 2: there were factors.

1869
01:27:51,840 --> 01:27:56,200
Speaker 4: Is it is it? Is it gazy?

1870
01:27:57,920 --> 01:28:02,280
Speaker 3: It's a little gayzy, little yeah, a little big.

1871
01:28:03,400 --> 01:28:06,840
Speaker 5: Like the name of a rapper, little gayzy. Oh my god,

1872
01:28:06,880 --> 01:28:09,080
Speaker 5: that's what you know what? Nevermind, guys, forget it.

1873
01:28:09,120 --> 01:28:11,160
Speaker 4: I quit. I'm gonna go make a rap album that.

1874
01:28:12,840 --> 01:28:15,320
Speaker 5: I'm just I'm gonna be a little gazy and that's

1875
01:28:15,320 --> 01:28:16,160
Speaker 5: gonna be my name.

1876
01:28:16,360 --> 01:28:18,080
Speaker 4: And I'm gonna be a hip hop since.

1877
01:28:18,240 --> 01:28:20,599
Speaker 1: If you can fiddle while spitting bars at the same time,

1878
01:28:21,080 --> 01:28:23,599
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, I will bow with your feet,

1879
01:28:23,760 --> 01:28:24,200
Speaker 1: let's go.

1880
01:28:25,280 --> 01:28:28,800
Speaker 5: If the the phrase spitting bars, the way I say

1881
01:28:28,800 --> 01:28:30,880
Speaker 5: that in and of itself shows you that I should

1882
01:28:30,920 --> 01:28:33,679
Speaker 5: never be part of hip hop in general, like there

1883
01:28:33,760 --> 01:28:36,400
Speaker 5: is zero reason that I should actually make a hip

1884
01:28:36,400 --> 01:28:38,200
Speaker 5: hop record. All the more reasons like I'm gonna be

1885
01:28:38,200 --> 01:28:41,479
Speaker 5: the Lindsay Sterling of hip hop violin and I'm just

1886
01:28:41,520 --> 01:28:42,479
Speaker 5: gonna spit bars.

1887
01:28:42,680 --> 01:28:46,160
Speaker 4: I'm gonna show my flow as as as as as

1888
01:28:46,200 --> 01:28:49,160
Speaker 4: I make an iconic hip hop album works for me.

1889
01:28:49,479 --> 01:28:52,120
Speaker 1: I love it, a little gazy.

1890
01:28:51,880 --> 01:28:52,479
Speaker 3: Little gayzey.

01:28:53,000 --> 01:28:56,920
Speaker 2: I love it because a little gayzy figie man at.

1892
01:28:59,160 --> 01:29:00,599
Speaker 3: You won't get a man.

1893
01:29:00,640 --> 01:29:04,120
Speaker 2: You imagine that that way that's a little gayzy over there.

1894
01:29:05,720 --> 01:29:07,920
Speaker 4: Did I just get my Philly nickname? Did I just

1895
01:29:08,000 --> 01:29:10,360
Speaker 4: get all? You know you're making it.

1896
01:29:10,560 --> 01:29:14,080
Speaker 5: Like yeah, yeah.

1897
01:29:13,080 --> 01:29:15,439
Speaker 1: Because yeah, I like it.

1898
01:29:15,720 --> 01:29:19,880
Speaker 3: I like it roll, it's gayzy. What's some gazy it flows?

1899
01:29:20,840 --> 01:29:24,160
Speaker 1: Does it flows? That's man a little gazy over there. Yeah,

1900
01:29:24,200 --> 01:29:25,719
Speaker 1: it's good. It's good people.

1901
01:29:27,160 --> 01:29:28,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I like it.

1902
01:29:28,479 --> 01:29:32,520
Speaker 5: There's so much now because I'm just saying, like we are.

1903
01:29:31,800 --> 01:29:37,400
Speaker 2: Sha works shouts more of a nickname than the first name.

1904
01:29:37,479 --> 01:29:38,320
Speaker 4: Can we double it up?

1905
01:29:38,320 --> 01:29:43,479
Speaker 5: Can it be like like and it's just there, like

1906
01:29:43,720 --> 01:29:46,120
Speaker 5: something extra. I'm just thinking, like we walk into the bar,

1907
01:29:46,240 --> 01:29:48,400
Speaker 5: we're rolling deep into the bar, and we walk in

1908
01:29:48,479 --> 01:29:50,920
Speaker 5: and you're like, yeah, that's cousin Figgy and that's a

1909
01:29:50,920 --> 01:29:53,320
Speaker 5: little gayzy and that's sh I mean, I'm just.

1910
01:29:55,080 --> 01:30:02,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, Shah works. I like, I'm definitely works. It works.

1911
01:30:02,000 --> 01:30:04,280
Speaker 4: Say you gotta spit pars for us.

1912
01:30:04,320 --> 01:30:06,960
Speaker 6: At some point, me and my me and my friends

1913
01:30:06,960 --> 01:30:08,800
Speaker 6: we used to, uh, we used to have this rap

1914
01:30:08,840 --> 01:30:10,800
Speaker 6: game we used to play and you would have to

1915
01:30:11,000 --> 01:30:14,479
Speaker 6: like rhyme three words back to back to back. But

1916
01:30:14,520 --> 01:30:18,880
Speaker 6: then you can't stay within like the same like like

1917
01:30:18,920 --> 01:30:21,400
Speaker 6: the same genre of like whatever you were talking about

1918
01:30:21,960 --> 01:30:24,000
Speaker 6: and we would just go around for like hours on it,

1919
01:30:24,040 --> 01:30:26,479
Speaker 6: and one time we went for like twenty minutes without

1920
01:30:26,560 --> 01:30:27,479
Speaker 6: like messing up.

1921
01:30:28,479 --> 01:30:29,800
Speaker 1: And I don't know, I don't know why I'm.

1922
01:30:29,720 --> 01:30:31,080
Speaker 6: Explaining this, but it was just a game that we

1923
01:30:31,160 --> 01:30:33,240
Speaker 6: played just between us and it was a lot of fun.

1924
01:30:33,360 --> 01:30:37,040
Speaker 6: But yeah, I'm a I'm a rapist, as you could say,

1925
01:30:37,080 --> 01:30:38,360
Speaker 6: a rapper rapist.

1926
01:30:38,360 --> 01:30:41,640
Speaker 1: A rapist rapper is better. Let's go with that one. Yeah,

1927
01:30:41,760 --> 01:30:44,160
Speaker 1: I'm not a fan of the previous one. It sounds

1928
01:30:44,160 --> 01:30:47,600
Speaker 1: a little too close to something we'd Yeah, I was

1929
01:30:47,680 --> 01:30:52,360
Speaker 1: thinking I don't think it would be alone our shaw.

1930
01:30:56,760 --> 01:31:01,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, fellas gonna watch.

1931
01:31:03,520 --> 01:31:10,400
Speaker 1: All right, two piece. You are talk about a violation.

1932
01:31:13,640 --> 01:31:23,240
Speaker 2: He wants to be a rapist better of his trappists. Uh,

1933
01:31:24,560 --> 01:31:28,840
Speaker 2: let me tackle this real quick, Carolina. Uh, first of all,

1934
01:31:28,880 --> 01:31:33,000
Speaker 2: who's the coach? Do you want to work for Temper?

1935
01:31:33,880 --> 01:31:38,320
Speaker 2: Because David Tepper is a guy, is it? Obviously howly successful,

1936
01:31:38,560 --> 01:31:42,200
Speaker 2: very very wealthy, one of the most wealthiest people in

1937
01:31:42,200 --> 01:31:43,200
Speaker 2: the country.

1938
01:31:44,840 --> 01:31:46,240
Speaker 3: But very hands on.

1939
01:31:47,120 --> 01:31:52,720
Speaker 2: Like I heard stories that he would like the offensive coordinator.

1940
01:31:53,120 --> 01:31:54,599
Speaker 3: Not this year, this is going back.

1941
01:31:55,320 --> 01:31:59,920
Speaker 2: Would did not know who the quarterback would be until

1942
01:32:01,280 --> 01:32:06,800
Speaker 2: Tapper said it like it was. It was like that, Yeah,

1943
01:32:06,840 --> 01:32:09,880
Speaker 2: that's like those old stories that you like on Wednesday,

1944
01:32:09,920 --> 01:32:14,559
Speaker 2: like what who's wait, you can start? It was that

1945
01:32:14,640 --> 01:32:15,120
Speaker 2: sort of thing.

1946
01:32:15,720 --> 01:32:17,720
Speaker 5: So I think when you ask who the coach is

1947
01:32:17,720 --> 01:32:20,160
Speaker 5: going to be h not to not to give you

1948
01:32:20,200 --> 01:32:23,240
Speaker 5: a bailout answer here, but this, this one's pretty simple

1949
01:32:23,240 --> 01:32:27,479
Speaker 5: to me. I think every substantial candidate that even takes

1950
01:32:27,479 --> 01:32:30,960
Speaker 5: an interview with Carolina Panthers is simply using the entire

1951
01:32:31,080 --> 01:32:33,720
Speaker 5: organization for leverage to get a real contract somewhere else.

1952
01:32:34,040 --> 01:32:35,920
Speaker 5: They're going to end up with a coordinator that we're

1953
01:32:35,920 --> 01:32:39,040
Speaker 5: not expecting. And I don't think the thing of it is.

1954
01:32:39,080 --> 01:32:42,480
Speaker 5: I think the lasting effect of the Frank Reich experience

1955
01:32:43,080 --> 01:32:46,479
Speaker 5: is that if you're a second term coach, if you're

1956
01:32:46,520 --> 01:32:48,679
Speaker 5: one of those guys that you know, I saw somebody

1957
01:32:48,680 --> 01:32:51,400
Speaker 5: the other day saying Raheem Morris, for example, deserves some

1958
01:32:51,479 --> 01:32:53,720
Speaker 5: interviews in a shot. If you're a guy like that

1959
01:32:53,720 --> 01:32:56,080
Speaker 5: that wants your opportunity to show that you do belong

1960
01:32:56,120 --> 01:32:58,400
Speaker 5: as a head coach in the league, and you realize

1961
01:32:58,439 --> 01:32:59,840
Speaker 5: you're probably not going to get a third chance, I

1962
01:33:00,040 --> 01:33:02,040
Speaker 5: don't think there's any chance to taking the Carolina job.

1963
01:33:02,120 --> 01:33:04,920
Speaker 5: So I feel like this ends up being kind of

1964
01:33:05,040 --> 01:33:08,120
Speaker 5: like Matt Rule came from out of nowhere in that

1965
01:33:08,240 --> 01:33:10,160
Speaker 5: sense when he took that job. I think this ends

1966
01:33:10,240 --> 01:33:12,680
Speaker 5: up being some sort of a coordinator that we're all

1967
01:33:12,680 --> 01:33:15,280
Speaker 5: looking at saying, oh, like somebody that's just taken the

1968
01:33:15,320 --> 01:33:17,800
Speaker 5: stab at a bunch of money and hopeful that they

1969
01:33:17,800 --> 01:33:19,439
Speaker 5: can be the one that gets it right. I don't

1970
01:33:19,439 --> 01:33:22,439
Speaker 5: think this is where any of the big name options go.

1971
01:33:22,600 --> 01:33:26,200
Speaker 1: I'm thinking like a David Cully, who's a guy that just, hey,

1972
01:33:26,360 --> 01:33:28,320
Speaker 1: just itching to get a head coaching job. I've been

1973
01:33:28,400 --> 01:33:29,760
Speaker 1: in the league for a while. I just want to

1974
01:33:29,800 --> 01:33:33,280
Speaker 1: see what I can do. Ben Johnson, anybody that will

1975
01:33:33,320 --> 01:33:35,280
Speaker 1: be in this year, I will say, fine, take the

1976
01:33:35,320 --> 01:33:37,559
Speaker 1: interview to put it on the resume. For the love

1977
01:33:37,600 --> 01:33:39,559
Speaker 1: of God, do not work for this guy. Do not

1978
01:33:39,600 --> 01:33:42,400
Speaker 1: take this job. There's gonna be better jobs. The offense

1979
01:33:42,479 --> 01:33:44,880
Speaker 1: is going to be better next year, other jobs. There'll

1980
01:33:44,920 --> 01:33:47,080
Speaker 1: be other opportunities for you. But if this is the

1981
01:33:47,080 --> 01:33:49,280
Speaker 1: one that his name is, and this is the one

1982
01:33:49,320 --> 01:33:51,960
Speaker 1: he's been connected to more than any other, there's no

1983
01:33:52,000 --> 01:33:53,880
Speaker 1: way in hell I go work for David Tepper right now.

1984
01:33:53,960 --> 01:33:54,960
Speaker 1: Absolutely think he's.

1985
01:33:54,800 --> 01:33:57,880
Speaker 5: Just using that fifteen million dollars a year price tag

1986
01:33:57,920 --> 01:34:01,680
Speaker 5: to let the Chargers and the Raiders and the Patriots know,

1987
01:34:01,800 --> 01:34:04,240
Speaker 5: like where his where his price tag's gonna end up?

1988
01:34:04,439 --> 01:34:04,599
Speaker 1: Right?

1989
01:34:04,640 --> 01:34:06,320
Speaker 3: Well? Yeah, interesting?

1990
01:34:06,479 --> 01:34:13,160
Speaker 2: I Brown's and Bengals Bengals out. They put a valiant

1991
01:34:13,240 --> 01:34:18,000
Speaker 2: effort that Bengals day have to lose in Barrow, but

1992
01:34:18,080 --> 01:34:21,880
Speaker 2: they're they're cooked. And uh and then Cleveland Joe, how

1993
01:34:21,920 --> 01:34:28,280
Speaker 2: about this? How about Flacco sits on Sunday tomorrow to

1994
01:34:28,400 --> 01:34:29,800
Speaker 2: protect him for the playoffs?

1995
01:34:30,320 --> 01:34:31,880
Speaker 1: I think that's wild? Is it?

1996
01:34:32,479 --> 01:34:35,439
Speaker 5: You think Flacco is is back next year? Like, I'm

1997
01:34:35,439 --> 01:34:38,320
Speaker 5: not even trolling with this, Like he's played well enough.

1998
01:34:38,320 --> 01:34:40,160
Speaker 5: I know he's four thy, seven hundred and thirty two

1999
01:34:40,240 --> 01:34:44,559
Speaker 5: years old, But I mean, if you're the Browns, he's

2000
01:34:44,560 --> 01:34:46,559
Speaker 5: played well enough that you you got to consider at

2001
01:34:46,600 --> 01:34:48,599
Speaker 5: least bringing it back if he's willing, right, Like, But.

2002
01:34:48,600 --> 01:34:51,280
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're him, don't you say maybe I

2003
01:34:51,360 --> 01:34:53,720
Speaker 1: go start the chance to start, because Deshaun Watson is

2004
01:34:53,720 --> 01:34:57,639
Speaker 1: going to start next year by the way, you're thirty eight, right, yeah,

2005
01:34:57,640 --> 01:35:00,000
Speaker 1: which I mean in today in the NFL as a quarterback.

2006
01:35:00,320 --> 01:35:03,120
Speaker 1: I mean, and look what he's done with no training camp.

2007
01:35:03,120 --> 01:35:05,040
Speaker 1: He's played five games. He's gonna win Comeback Player of

2008
01:35:05,040 --> 01:35:07,559
Speaker 1: the Year, probably playing amazing after sitting on the couch

2009
01:35:07,600 --> 01:35:09,880
Speaker 1: the entire offseason. You get this guy a full training

2010
01:35:09,880 --> 01:35:12,559
Speaker 1: camp with another team that has just a modicum of talent.

2011
01:35:13,320 --> 01:35:15,080
Speaker 1: This guy can still play for a couple more years.

2012
01:35:15,200 --> 01:35:18,320
Speaker 6: I know, if he wins the Super Bowl, I don't

2013
01:35:18,320 --> 01:35:19,599
Speaker 6: think he'll play again.

2014
01:35:20,800 --> 01:35:22,400
Speaker 1: I think he'll have a way to walk off. That's

2015
01:35:22,439 --> 01:35:24,800
Speaker 1: exactly I think he'll walk off. You imagine winning a

2016
01:35:24,840 --> 01:35:26,880
Speaker 1: championship for Baltimore and then coming back and winning a

2017
01:35:26,960 --> 01:35:29,040
Speaker 1: championship for Cleveland. Yeah, you.

2018
01:35:31,200 --> 01:35:33,240
Speaker 5: Win a championship for the Browns. The first thing you

2019
01:35:33,280 --> 01:35:35,439
Speaker 5: do is you go buy a palace in Cleveland for

2020
01:35:35,520 --> 01:35:37,360
Speaker 5: your whole family. You move there because you're never going

2021
01:35:37,439 --> 01:35:38,840
Speaker 5: to pay for anything for the rest of your life,

2022
01:35:38,880 --> 01:35:40,320
Speaker 5: and you're gonna be a hero. You're gonna be in

2023
01:35:40,360 --> 01:35:43,200
Speaker 5: every parade. You you're the starting quarterback that wins the

2024
01:35:43,200 --> 01:35:45,519
Speaker 5: Browns of Super Bowl. My god, that that that you're

2025
01:35:45,520 --> 01:35:46,240
Speaker 5: a made man.

2026
01:35:46,120 --> 01:35:49,240
Speaker 1: For the rest your statue next to Lebron's would it

2027
01:35:49,240 --> 01:35:52,599
Speaker 1: would solidifyz I mean the last time, the last time I've.

2028
01:35:52,439 --> 01:35:54,960
Speaker 6: Talked about Joe Flacco before he was on the Browns.

2029
01:35:55,000 --> 01:35:57,759
Speaker 6: I was calling him lazy. Oh this guy that got lazy.

2030
01:35:57,800 --> 01:35:59,639
Speaker 6: He won a Super Bowl ring and just didn't care.

2031
01:35:59,720 --> 01:36:01,559
Speaker 6: He just kind of was just going through the motion,

2032
01:36:01,800 --> 01:36:05,200
Speaker 6: just being a high paid quarterback in the NFL. That's

2033
01:36:05,200 --> 01:36:08,400
Speaker 6: literally what everyone was saying, Like just no one was

2034
01:36:08,400 --> 01:36:10,800
Speaker 6: really talking about Joe Flacco. But the fact that we're

2035
01:36:10,840 --> 01:36:14,719
Speaker 6: even having this discussion that he might walk off after

2036
01:36:14,760 --> 01:36:18,759
Speaker 6: winning a super Bowl with the Browns is like something

2037
01:36:18,960 --> 01:36:20,759
Speaker 6: that you would have to slap me in the face

2038
01:36:20,840 --> 01:36:22,479
Speaker 6: and be like, no, you're lying to me.

2039
01:36:22,760 --> 01:36:23,880
Speaker 1: There's no way this is real.

2040
01:36:24,320 --> 01:36:26,160
Speaker 6: So it's just the fact that we're talking about this

2041
01:36:26,320 --> 01:36:28,920
Speaker 6: right now, I think just for him is like one

2042
01:36:28,960 --> 01:36:32,480
Speaker 6: of the coolest things. And then on top of it,

2043
01:36:32,560 --> 01:36:34,679
Speaker 6: just the fact that he's giving the Browns a Super

2044
01:36:34,680 --> 01:36:37,200
Speaker 6: Bowl and just being a Browns fan, Like, are you

2045
01:36:37,280 --> 01:36:37,720
Speaker 6: kidding me?

2046
01:36:38,120 --> 01:36:39,160
Speaker 4: The only variable.

2047
01:36:39,800 --> 01:36:42,840
Speaker 5: And look, I haven't talked to her, been around anyone

2048
01:36:42,840 --> 01:36:44,840
Speaker 5: that knows him for several years, but I did in

2049
01:36:44,840 --> 01:36:47,840
Speaker 5: the Baltimore days. I knew his agent really well at

2050
01:36:47,840 --> 01:36:50,599
Speaker 5: the time. And the one thing that I always got

2051
01:36:50,640 --> 01:36:54,639
Speaker 5: the impression of with Joe is that he's he's perceived

2052
01:36:54,640 --> 01:36:57,360
Speaker 5: a certain way because he's just not a dynamic human being.

2053
01:36:57,400 --> 01:37:00,120
Speaker 5: Like he's very low key in everything he does. He

2054
01:37:00,160 --> 01:37:04,479
Speaker 5: absolutely loves football, like he lives eats breeze football. That's

2055
01:37:04,479 --> 01:37:08,240
Speaker 5: all he cares about. Like there are pretty legendary stories

2056
01:37:08,280 --> 01:37:11,599
Speaker 5: of him being offered massive endorsement deals and he's like, Eh,

2057
01:37:11,640 --> 01:37:12,400
Speaker 5: I don't really care about that.

2058
01:37:12,439 --> 01:37:13,400
Speaker 4: I just want to play football.

2059
01:37:13,439 --> 01:37:16,200
Speaker 3: Well, I will tell you that's true. I know.

2060
01:37:16,400 --> 01:37:20,120
Speaker 2: I mean he lives twenty minutes from me, literally, I

2061
01:37:20,160 --> 01:37:23,160
Speaker 2: mean he lives in Jersey, South Jersey, like twenty five

2062
01:37:23,160 --> 01:37:23,800
Speaker 2: minutes from me.

2063
01:37:24,560 --> 01:37:28,439
Speaker 3: And he's that guy. He went to Delaware.

2064
01:37:28,479 --> 01:37:32,040
Speaker 2: He loves football, man, I think he would play next year.

2065
01:37:33,200 --> 01:37:37,080
Speaker 3: I think he loves it. I think he's happy. I

2066
01:37:37,120 --> 01:37:37,800
Speaker 3: got the sense.

2067
01:37:38,560 --> 01:37:40,080
Speaker 2: In fact, we were going back and forth this week

2068
01:37:40,080 --> 01:37:41,719
Speaker 2: because I was trying to get him on the show

2069
01:37:41,720 --> 01:37:45,840
Speaker 2: with Baldy and I.

2070
01:37:44,080 --> 01:37:47,160
Speaker 3: I get the sense that he's he's feeling great.

2071
01:37:47,280 --> 01:37:48,160
Speaker 1: I do.

2072
01:37:48,320 --> 01:37:50,839
Speaker 3: I you know, listen, he's with the kids.

2073
01:37:51,120 --> 01:37:53,920
Speaker 2: He realized the whole thing's fleeting, so I could see

2074
01:37:53,960 --> 01:37:56,439
Speaker 2: him taking another shot. I think it's you know, because

2075
01:37:56,520 --> 01:37:58,200
Speaker 2: I think I don't think he missed the training camp

2076
01:37:58,200 --> 01:37:58,960
Speaker 2: and that sort of thing.

2077
01:37:59,320 --> 01:38:02,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, but think like when we sit here and say, oh,

2078
01:38:02,120 --> 01:38:05,080
Speaker 5: it's Cementsa's legacy. Again, I haven't talked to him years,

2079
01:38:05,080 --> 01:38:07,760
Speaker 5: because you know this better. I think he's one of

2080
01:38:07,800 --> 01:38:11,240
Speaker 5: those people that does not give a damn what any

2081
01:38:11,280 --> 01:38:14,240
Speaker 5: of us say about whether Joe Flacco's He doesn't care

2082
01:38:14,240 --> 01:38:17,040
Speaker 5: about the legacy. He doesn't care what any of us think.

2083
01:38:17,280 --> 01:38:20,519
Speaker 5: He doesn't care about how will perceive his career. He

2084
01:38:20,800 --> 01:38:24,519
Speaker 5: just loves playing football. And like that's so simple that

2085
01:38:24,600 --> 01:38:28,000
Speaker 5: we've made it like he's weird. I just think I

2086
01:38:28,120 --> 01:38:30,160
Speaker 5: just that's what makes this hard to predict, because when

2087
01:38:30,200 --> 01:38:32,040
Speaker 5: you were one of those guys, like we all know

2088
01:38:32,120 --> 01:38:34,000
Speaker 5: coaches that have been around the game forever that just

2089
01:38:34,040 --> 01:38:36,439
Speaker 5: refused to go away because they can't imagine their life

2090
01:38:36,439 --> 01:38:38,280
Speaker 5: without the game. I think there's a bit of Flacco

2091
01:38:38,360 --> 01:38:40,200
Speaker 5: that's just like, if I can play football, i'm'na play

2092
01:38:40,200 --> 01:38:41,839
Speaker 5: fooball because it's fun and I love playing football.

2093
01:38:41,920 --> 01:38:43,200
Speaker 1: I feel like that's part of the reason why he

2094
01:38:43,240 --> 01:38:45,880
Speaker 1: has such great success in the postseason, because he doesn't

2095
01:38:45,880 --> 01:38:47,479
Speaker 1: really feel the weight of it because he's playing the

2096
01:38:47,479 --> 01:38:49,800
Speaker 1: game that hel he loves and enjoys and doesn't feel

2097
01:38:49,800 --> 01:38:52,040
Speaker 1: the pressure. I think to a certain degree, that's why

2098
01:38:52,040 --> 01:38:54,000
Speaker 1: at times Eli Manning played well in the playoffs. He

2099
01:38:54,040 --> 01:38:55,560
Speaker 1: just didn't know any better. I'm just playing. He was

2100
01:38:55,600 --> 01:38:58,879
Speaker 1: having a good time. Peyton had to wait on his shoulders.

2101
01:38:58,920 --> 01:39:00,519
Speaker 1: Eli's like, let's just go out and see what we

2102
01:39:00,560 --> 01:39:01,320
Speaker 1: can do. Who cares?

2103
01:39:01,600 --> 01:39:03,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's great, it's a great point.

2104
01:39:03,040 --> 01:39:04,599
Speaker 6: I don't know if I could agree with you guys there,

2105
01:39:04,680 --> 01:39:06,680
Speaker 6: just because I feel like with this one, it's like,

2106
01:39:06,760 --> 01:39:09,120
Speaker 6: if he wins the super Bowl, he's for sure going

2107
01:39:09,200 --> 01:39:11,120
Speaker 6: to be in the Hall of Fame. Like, if he

2108
01:39:11,160 --> 01:39:13,160
Speaker 6: doesn't win the Super Bowl, do you think Joe Flacco

2109
01:39:13,240 --> 01:39:13,680
Speaker 6: is going to be.

2110
01:39:13,600 --> 01:39:14,200
Speaker 3: In the Hall of Fame?

2111
01:39:14,479 --> 01:39:17,400
Speaker 6: I don't think if he wins the super Bowl with

2112
01:39:17,560 --> 01:39:20,559
Speaker 6: the brownsn first, come on.

2113
01:39:20,720 --> 01:39:25,599
Speaker 4: Jim gets got to superl Yeah.

2114
01:39:25,720 --> 01:39:28,240
Speaker 5: And also, I genuinely don't think he gives a damn

2115
01:39:28,280 --> 01:39:30,479
Speaker 5: about being in the Hall of Fame, right, Like, these

2116
01:39:30,479 --> 01:39:32,120
Speaker 5: are not the things that motivate him.

2117
01:39:32,520 --> 01:39:36,200
Speaker 1: With legacy stuff like say like Browns fans would care.

2118
01:39:36,439 --> 01:39:38,479
Speaker 1: But so I to the your guy points, I don't

2119
01:39:38,520 --> 01:39:40,040
Speaker 1: know Flac cares one way or the other.

2120
01:39:40,160 --> 01:39:42,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, And to and to what you guys are saying,

2121
01:39:42,800 --> 01:39:46,200
Speaker 2: what Figures saying with fits he was saying, or little

2122
01:39:46,439 --> 01:39:53,320
Speaker 2: little gage he was saying, is that Flacco right now

2123
01:39:53,479 --> 01:39:56,840
Speaker 2: has the game figured out. It's like Brady. If you

2124
01:39:56,920 --> 01:39:59,400
Speaker 2: remember when Brady was like forty one or forty two,

2125
01:40:00,160 --> 01:40:02,320
Speaker 2: he said that he was playing he was a better

2126
01:40:02,400 --> 01:40:06,720
Speaker 2: quarterback then than he was at thirty Do you remember.

2127
01:40:06,479 --> 01:40:09,679
Speaker 1: Him saying that, yes, yeah, and Black.

2128
01:40:09,479 --> 01:40:10,080
Speaker 3: Goes thirty eight.

2129
01:40:10,160 --> 01:40:13,160
Speaker 2: He's got the game figured out, like he knows where

2130
01:40:13,200 --> 01:40:14,160
Speaker 2: to go with the football.

2131
01:40:14,600 --> 01:40:16,360
Speaker 3: He's sees like when.

2132
01:40:16,320 --> 01:40:21,320
Speaker 2: You've read defenses that long, nothing gets by you. So

2133
01:40:21,360 --> 01:40:26,800
Speaker 2: you're you're you're, you know right, you're computing this stuff right,

2134
01:40:27,560 --> 01:40:31,360
Speaker 2: you know the line of scrimmage. You're so confident, like

2135
01:40:31,439 --> 01:40:34,719
Speaker 2: you just see it and you know it. So that's

2136
01:40:34,840 --> 01:40:37,559
Speaker 2: I think where he You know, why wouldn't you want

2137
01:40:37,600 --> 01:40:40,160
Speaker 2: to play when you had the game figured out? Now

2138
01:40:40,520 --> 01:40:42,760
Speaker 2: again taking a hit and you know you're going to

2139
01:40:42,840 --> 01:40:45,880
Speaker 2: get bagged around, But at some point you look at

2140
01:40:45,920 --> 01:40:49,080
Speaker 2: him right now, he's playing the best football of his career.

2141
01:40:49,680 --> 01:40:53,200
Speaker 1: This is incredible to say at his age and considering again,

2142
01:40:53,439 --> 01:40:56,280
Speaker 1: didn't play all season long, came in in a pressure

2143
01:40:56,280 --> 01:40:59,000
Speaker 1: cooker where there was a team with high expectations and

2144
01:40:59,479 --> 01:41:02,439
Speaker 1: in a playoff team, and came right in and did

2145
01:41:02,439 --> 01:41:04,639
Speaker 1: not miss a beat. It's like you've been playing all

2146
01:41:04,640 --> 01:41:05,160
Speaker 1: season long.

2147
01:41:05,360 --> 01:41:07,400
Speaker 3: I know it's it's amazing.

2148
01:41:07,720 --> 01:41:10,439
Speaker 2: But again it goes back to like when at that age,

2149
01:41:10,479 --> 01:41:13,080
Speaker 2: if you're in shape, and you're and you're and and

2150

Speaker 2: you can navigate this. Your mind is so mature. It's

2152
01:41:21,760 --> 01:41:23,880
Speaker 2: like the Brady thing. All right, we'll take a quick too,

Speaker 5: I feel like this is this is the street crowd

2161
01:42:01,240 --> 01:42:03,880
Speaker 5: I've always needed. I feel like I'm about to go

2162
01:42:03,960 --> 01:42:04,679
Speaker 5: to a different edge.

2163
01:42:04,760 --> 01:42:09,320
Speaker 4: You know, like here's the thing that fits fitsy.

2164
01:42:09,520 --> 01:42:11,920
Speaker 5: All those things like that, that's that they're they're good,

2165
01:42:11,960 --> 01:42:14,600
Speaker 5: they're natural, they flow part of me.

2166
01:42:14,880 --> 01:42:17,360
Speaker 4: I get it. But man, you gotta have like on.

2167
01:42:17,360 --> 01:42:20,439
Speaker 5: This show particularly, you gotta be part of the spruns,

2168
01:42:20,520 --> 01:42:22,680
Speaker 5: right like you're just like you gotta have the I

2169
01:42:22,800 --> 01:42:27,000
Speaker 5: sat outside of a deli. I'm having a peculiarly small

2170
01:42:27,120 --> 01:42:29,240
Speaker 5: cup of coffee, Like don't understand why it's in the

2171
01:42:29,280 --> 01:42:32,000
Speaker 5: tiny thing. And I'm standing out there full suit. I'm

2172
01:42:32,040 --> 01:42:34,479
Speaker 5: just I'm sitting there full suit and uh and and

2173
01:42:34,520 --> 01:42:37,080
Speaker 5: like nobody's really saying anything and we're just sitting there

2174
01:42:37,120 --> 01:42:39,439
Speaker 5: like that. This this is the scene and and in

2175
01:42:39,439 --> 01:42:42,720
Speaker 5: that scene, fits just feels too happy. Gayzy feels like

2176
01:42:42,800 --> 01:42:44,640
Speaker 5: you know, you know you don't mess with Gayzy, like

2177
01:42:44,720 --> 01:42:47,639
Speaker 5: Gayzy smiling at you, but you might understand that, you know,

2178
01:42:47,479 --> 01:42:49,559
Speaker 5: you know, you don't walk away. You don't walk away

2179
01:42:49,600 --> 01:42:52,240
Speaker 5: from Gayzy, like nope, you keep one like your side

2180
01:42:52,240 --> 01:42:54,479
Speaker 5: eyeing as you walk away, like maybe you turn around

2181
01:42:54,520 --> 01:42:56,280
Speaker 5: backwards so that you can face me when you walk away,

2182
01:42:56,320 --> 01:42:58,200
Speaker 5: Like I feel like I have the street edge I've

2183
01:42:58,240 --> 01:42:58,960
Speaker 5: always deserved.

2184
01:43:00,080 --> 01:43:00,920
Speaker 3: What do you think that.

2185
01:43:03,040 --> 01:43:06,680
Speaker 1: Makes sense to me? I like it.

2186
01:43:11,040 --> 01:43:12,920
Speaker 6: Gayzy is like your serious name. When you want to

2187
01:43:12,920 --> 01:43:14,920
Speaker 6: get serious, we're gonna call you Gayzy.

2188
01:43:15,800 --> 01:43:17,920
Speaker 5: The funny thing is, like here's the thing, Like if

2189
01:43:17,960 --> 01:43:20,840
Speaker 5: I'm just smiling at somebody, like everybody thinks, look at

2190
01:43:20,840 --> 01:43:24,160
Speaker 5: that goofy s O B right, Like Kazy smiling at

2191
01:43:24,200 --> 01:43:25,920
Speaker 5: somebody they're like, what's he smiling about?

2192
01:43:25,960 --> 01:43:29,519
Speaker 4: Like what like he's up to something like something like you.

2193
01:43:29,479 --> 01:43:33,439
Speaker 1: Know why that just appears and disappears into the brushes,

2194
01:43:33,479 --> 01:43:34,080
Speaker 1: into the weeds.

2195
01:43:34,160 --> 01:43:40,240
Speaker 2: You know, here's why it works because gayzy feels like

2196
01:43:40,400 --> 01:43:43,040
Speaker 2: crazy a little bit, you know what I mean.

2197
01:43:43,320 --> 01:43:47,880
Speaker 3: So it kind of works.

2198
01:43:47,920 --> 01:43:53,559
Speaker 2: Like who like the the how it originated was half

2199
01:43:54,120 --> 01:43:56,920
Speaker 2: of a fool gazey a half of fraud.

2200
01:43:57,040 --> 01:44:01,080
Speaker 3: Is it gazy? Right? That's that the origination of it.

2201
01:44:01,320 --> 01:44:06,760
Speaker 5: Right, So like which is also actually works in some

2202
01:44:06,800 --> 01:44:09,439
Speaker 5: ways because think about it, like, in general, I'm the

2203
01:44:09,520 --> 01:44:10,600
Speaker 5: least intimidating.

2204
01:44:10,920 --> 01:44:12,120
Speaker 4: I'm all happy, go lucky.

2205
01:44:12,160 --> 01:44:14,439
Speaker 5: I'm more likely to awkwardly hug somebody than I am

2206
01:44:14,479 --> 01:44:16,479
Speaker 5: to ever start a fight, like like I'm gonna bring

2207
01:44:16,560 --> 01:44:19,519
Speaker 5: everybody together and hug, so like it's a little bit,

2208
01:44:20,000 --> 01:44:21,920
Speaker 5: you know, it's a little fugazy for me to try

2209
01:44:21,920 --> 01:44:25,040
Speaker 5: and have any edge, So it only makes more sense

2210
01:44:25,160 --> 01:44:26,559
Speaker 5: that it's just just a little gazy.

2211
01:44:27,479 --> 01:44:30,840
Speaker 3: I like it. I like it. Well, figure, do me

2212
01:44:30,920 --> 01:44:32,599
Speaker 3: favor and hit it's what's treadick?

2213
01:44:32,760 --> 01:44:37,400
Speaker 1: All right? That'll go to the NBA. Sweet night for

2214
01:44:37,479 --> 01:44:41,080
Speaker 1: the Golden State Warriors. They did defeat Detroit one thirteen

2215
01:44:41,120 --> 01:44:43,800
Speaker 1: to one O nine. Some say Detroit's a fugazi basketball team.

2216
01:44:43,840 --> 01:44:46,800
Speaker 1: I would not say that, but somewhat anyway, the Cood

2217
01:44:46,880 --> 01:44:50,320
Speaker 1: State Warriors didn't learn unfortunately that guard Chris Paul fractured

2218
01:44:50,320 --> 01:44:52,439
Speaker 1: his left hand is going to require surgery. He's going

2219
01:44:52,479 --> 01:44:55,679
Speaker 1: to be out indefinitely. Memphis handed the Lakers their fourth

2220
01:44:55,680 --> 01:44:58,160
Speaker 1: straight loss. The final score there was one twenty seven

2221
01:44:58,520 --> 01:45:01,040
Speaker 1: to one thirteen. Le Broad James scoring thirty two points

2222
01:45:01,080 --> 01:45:03,600
Speaker 1: there in the losses quote after the game, we just

2223
01:45:03,680 --> 01:45:06,840
Speaker 1: suck right now. I would say that's accurate. Lebron thirty

2224
01:45:06,840 --> 01:45:08,920
Speaker 1: one points from Grayson Allen, of all people, hit nine

2225
01:45:09,000 --> 01:45:10,920
Speaker 1: three pointers for the Suns. They defeated the Heat one

2226
01:45:11,000 --> 01:45:14,320
Speaker 1: thirteen to ninety seven, Indiana and Dallas with victories Clippers,

2227
01:45:14,360 --> 01:45:16,599
Speaker 1: who are on fire. They got twenty four points from

2228
01:45:16,640 --> 01:45:19,439
Speaker 1: Paul Georgia one to eleven to ninety five victory in

2229
01:45:19,720 --> 01:45:22,360
Speaker 1: New Orleans. A couple of college basketball matchups as well.

2230
01:45:22,439 --> 01:45:25,400
Speaker 1: Number one Perdue beating ninth rink Illinois eighty three to

2231
01:45:25,560 --> 01:45:28,200
Speaker 1: seventy eight fourth ranks Yukon and eighty eight to eighty

2232
01:45:28,200 --> 01:45:31,599
Speaker 1: one victory over Butler, NFL injury Newspackers running back aj

2233
01:45:31,720 --> 01:45:34,880
Speaker 1: Dillon out against Chicago with the stinger. Falcons quarterback Taylor

2234
01:45:34,920 --> 01:45:37,599
Speaker 1: Heineke a game time decision against New Orleans with an

2235
01:45:37,640 --> 01:45:38,519
Speaker 1: ankle injury.

2236
01:45:38,960 --> 01:45:44,640
Speaker 2: Back to the Fellas, Fellas, that's us from the tyraq

2237
01:45:44,760 --> 01:45:50,439
Speaker 2: dot com studios. All right, so here's the deal. Let's

2238
01:45:50,880 --> 01:45:56,320
Speaker 2: keep going back to tomorrow and where we stand. Let's

2239
01:45:56,360 --> 01:46:02,920
Speaker 2: go to Minnesota and the Lions. We're up tomorrow. How

2240
01:46:02,960 --> 01:46:07,439
Speaker 2: we feel about the Lions fellas as opposed to are

2241
01:46:07,439 --> 01:46:11,600
Speaker 2: they It's a shame because they got screwed that Saturday

2242
01:46:11,720 --> 01:46:16,720
Speaker 2: night in Dallas a week ago. That was clearly ridiculous.

2243
01:46:17,400 --> 01:46:21,360
Speaker 2: They got completely hosed. But I like the way they're

2244
01:46:21,400 --> 01:46:25,080
Speaker 2: playing now. Can they hold up outside of a dome?

2245
01:46:26,520 --> 01:46:28,840
Speaker 5: I think two things can be true too about getting

2246
01:46:28,840 --> 01:46:31,920
Speaker 5: screwed last weekend. They can get screwed, and it also

2247
01:46:31,960 --> 01:46:34,080
Speaker 5: can be their fault they lost that football game. Like,

2248
01:46:34,200 --> 01:46:38,000
Speaker 5: I don't understand why at some point you don't just

2249
01:46:38,080 --> 01:46:40,559
Speaker 5: reevaluate the fact that, hey, let's just kick the extra point,

2250
01:46:40,800 --> 01:46:42,960
Speaker 5: you know, let's just make things let's make things easy.

2251
01:46:43,040 --> 01:46:45,760
Speaker 5: But I also think that speaks to a little bit

2252
01:46:45,800 --> 01:46:49,960
Speaker 5: of the Dan Campbell, you know, unpredictability in this situation, too,

2253
01:46:50,080 --> 01:46:50,280
Speaker 5: you know.

2254
01:46:50,439 --> 01:46:51,920
Speaker 4: So, look, the.

2255
01:46:51,880 --> 01:46:56,240
Speaker 5: Lions are not quite where I thought the Lions would be.

2256
01:46:56,400 --> 01:46:57,160
Speaker 4: I want to be fair.

2257
01:46:57,200 --> 01:46:59,640
Speaker 5: I think a couple of months ago I made the

2258
01:46:59,680 --> 01:47:01,200
Speaker 5: case for why I thought they would have the number

2259
01:47:01,200 --> 01:47:03,800
Speaker 5: one seed simply because their schedule was so easy in

2260
01:47:03,800 --> 01:47:06,679
Speaker 5: front of them. They have had some hiccups and they've

2261
01:47:06,720 --> 01:47:08,200
Speaker 5: had some problems with turnovers.

2262
01:47:08,240 --> 01:47:09,679
Speaker 4: Those are all very real things.

2263
01:47:09,720 --> 01:47:12,120
Speaker 5: And now because of where they sit, not just from

2264
01:47:12,120 --> 01:47:14,040
Speaker 5: that one play, they're gonna have to go on the

2265
01:47:14,120 --> 01:47:16,360
Speaker 5: road and that's gonna make things more difficult as the

2266
01:47:16,360 --> 01:47:18,800
Speaker 5: playoffs advance, right, Like, they're gonna have to find a

2267
01:47:18,800 --> 01:47:22,160
Speaker 5: way to win against a tough team at that tough

2268
01:47:22,200 --> 01:47:23,280
Speaker 5: team spot.

2269
01:47:23,360 --> 01:47:26,439
Speaker 4: So that's just a variable Detroit.

2270
01:47:26,160 --> 01:47:29,080
Speaker 5: Home field as long as it's been since they've had

2271
01:47:29,080 --> 01:47:31,840
Speaker 5: anything like that, it could be magical. But like, if

2272
01:47:31,880 --> 01:47:34,880
Speaker 5: they gotta go on the road for any meaningful sort

2273
01:47:34,920 --> 01:47:39,080
Speaker 5: of playoff victories, I struggle to the turnover thing bothers me.

2274
01:47:39,880 --> 01:47:42,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, just the over aggressiveness at times too, talking about

2275
01:47:42,760 --> 01:47:45,320
Speaker 1: going for two from the seven yard line the game

2276
01:47:45,360 --> 01:47:47,679
Speaker 1: against Green Bay that they lost, they just kept going

2277
01:47:47,680 --> 01:47:49,720
Speaker 1: for two or excuse me, going forward on fourth down

2278
01:47:49,760 --> 01:47:52,360
Speaker 1: and missing it. Yes, they had a risky one. Yeah,

2279
01:47:52,360 --> 01:47:55,200
Speaker 1: they had a risky one against the Chargers that they

2280
01:47:55,280 --> 01:47:57,360
Speaker 1: ended up getting and winning. But at the time you're

2281
01:47:57,400 --> 01:48:00,600
Speaker 1: like I was coaching Brandon Stay right now. I like

2282
01:48:00,640 --> 01:48:03,479
Speaker 1: it to a certain degree, but when it has to

2283
01:48:03,560 --> 01:48:07,040
Speaker 1: be smart aggressiveness, and oftentimes I do think Dan Campbell

2284
01:48:07,080 --> 01:48:09,320
Speaker 1: is where the tougher football team, we're gonna ram it

2285
01:48:09,360 --> 01:48:11,720
Speaker 1: down their throats and we're gonna there's a time and

2286
01:48:11,760 --> 01:48:14,680
Speaker 1: place for that. I do think that it's timing and

2287
01:48:14,800 --> 01:48:17,960
Speaker 1: strategy at certain times has been questionable, and you just

2288
01:48:17,960 --> 01:48:21,560
Speaker 1: can't afford to make those sorts of decisions in the postseason.

2289
01:48:21,600 --> 01:48:23,720
Speaker 1: So I do like them. They're very talented. Obviously the

2290
01:48:23,760 --> 01:48:25,759
Speaker 1: defense is taking a bit of a step back recently,

2291
01:48:26,479 --> 01:48:29,439
Speaker 1: but we know they can score points. But the decision making,

2292
01:48:29,560 --> 01:48:31,400
Speaker 1: you know, down the stretch, when the teams get better,

2293
01:48:31,479 --> 01:48:34,799
Speaker 1: the competition is better, games get tighter. Every single solitary

2294
01:48:34,840 --> 01:48:36,880
Speaker 1: decision that you make, whether to punt, whether they kick

2295
01:48:36,880 --> 01:48:39,120
Speaker 1: a field goal, go forward, or fourth down is magnified.

2296
01:48:39,600 --> 01:48:41,320
Speaker 1: And as of right now, I don't know if I'd

2297
01:48:41,320 --> 01:48:45,280
Speaker 1: necessarily trust Dan Campbell's game management skills whether they're at

2298
01:48:45,280 --> 01:48:46,800
Speaker 1: home or on the road to be honest with you.

2299
01:48:48,080 --> 01:48:52,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, And the one of the other offshoots is I

2300
01:48:53,040 --> 01:48:57,000
Speaker 2: just don't know do they translate out of the of

2301
01:48:57,040 --> 01:49:02,200
Speaker 2: that that their offense is so good, it's so exports outside.

2302
01:49:01,760 --> 01:49:03,400
Speaker 3: Of a dome? Can they trains?

2303
01:49:03,520 --> 01:49:03,560
Speaker 4: Like?

2304
01:49:03,640 --> 01:49:05,559
Speaker 2: So that's the one thing I worry about. I do

2305
01:49:05,640 --> 01:49:08,040
Speaker 2: agree with them out at the same brown that he

2306
01:49:08,120 --> 01:49:08,759
Speaker 2: got hosed.

2307
01:49:08,800 --> 01:49:11,040
Speaker 3: How is he not a Pro Bowl? Yeah?

2308
01:49:11,400 --> 01:49:12,120
Speaker 4: That's wild to me.

2309
01:49:14,000 --> 01:49:14,960
Speaker 1: He's ridiculous.

2310
01:49:15,200 --> 01:49:15,439
Speaker 3: Yeah.

2311
01:49:15,680 --> 01:49:17,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, people say like, oh, the Pro Bowl is just

2312
01:49:17,240 --> 01:49:18,960
Speaker 1: a flag game or whatever. It's not even about go

2313
01:49:19,120 --> 01:49:21,920
Speaker 1: playing in the actual game. These guys have contract incentives

2314
01:49:21,920 --> 01:49:24,040
Speaker 1: of the you know, part of their career resumes. It's

2315
01:49:24,040 --> 01:49:25,840
Speaker 1: a big deal to be named to a Pro Bowl.

2316
01:49:25,880 --> 01:49:29,160
Speaker 1: So it's not about playing flag football in Hawaii or

2317
01:49:29,160 --> 01:49:30,639
Speaker 1: I don't even where the hell of game is this year,

2318
01:49:30,680 --> 01:49:32,400
Speaker 1: But you know that it's not about that.

2319
01:49:32,880 --> 01:49:37,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, what do we think about the Vikings moving forward?

2320
01:49:39,000 --> 01:49:41,360
Speaker 5: The Vikings are funny because they're gonna have to figure

2321
01:49:41,360 --> 01:49:43,360
Speaker 5: out what to do with the quarterback position. You mentioned,

2322
01:49:43,760 --> 01:49:46,040
Speaker 5: like earlier we were talking about teams that need a quarterback.

2323
01:49:46,320 --> 01:49:47,400
Speaker 4: Are we just willing to.

2324
01:49:47,360 --> 01:49:50,360
Speaker 5: Presume that Kirk Cousins is gonna be happy go lucky

2325
01:49:50,400 --> 01:49:53,480
Speaker 5: coming off that Achilles injury, and everything's gonna be glorious,

2326
01:49:53,479 --> 01:49:57,479
Speaker 5: Like right now, I wouldn't be shocked in a if

2327
01:49:57,520 --> 01:49:59,720
Speaker 5: in a year Kirk Cousins is sitting at a TV

2328
01:49:59,800 --> 01:50:02,680
Speaker 5: desk somewhere like, I don't know what the future of

2329
01:50:02,760 --> 01:50:05,599
Speaker 5: Kirk Cousins hold. And and that suddenly means now you've got

2330
01:50:05,640 --> 01:50:07,799
Speaker 5: to figure out the quarterback position, right like, and that's

2331
01:50:08,080 --> 01:50:12,080
Speaker 5: it's just such a everything hinges on it. They've had

2332
01:50:12,080 --> 01:50:14,799
Speaker 5: a pretty good season considering what they've been up against.

2333
01:50:15,200 --> 01:50:17,599
Speaker 1: Their defense was improved better than more.

2334
01:50:18,600 --> 01:50:21,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, but I just what good is that

2335
01:50:21,720 --> 01:50:22,439
Speaker 4: going to do? I'm going in.

2336
01:50:22,520 --> 01:50:26,200
Speaker 2: I like Chandler the running back, young running back. I listen,

2337
01:50:26,240 --> 01:50:28,759
Speaker 2: I think there's some things I agree with you. Although

2338
01:50:28,800 --> 01:50:32,240
Speaker 2: coming back from Achilles, now you can so let's you know, he's.

2339
01:50:32,160 --> 01:50:34,400
Speaker 1: Up there in age though too, not the necessarily the

2340
01:50:34,400 --> 01:50:38,680
Speaker 1: most mobile guy. So where's Yeah, thirty thirty seven, I

2341
01:50:38,760 --> 01:50:41,120
Speaker 1: think thirty six, maybe thirty thirty six or thirty seven

2342
01:50:41,479 --> 01:50:42,000
Speaker 1: thirty six?

2343
01:50:42,080 --> 01:50:45,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not sure. I got to look it up, all.

2344
01:50:45,920 --> 01:50:51,160
Speaker 2: Right, Jets and Patriots, Man, uh, it does do these codes?

2345
01:50:51,200 --> 01:50:55,439
Speaker 2: This is interesting, like what happens to Belichick and what

2346
01:50:55,600 --> 01:51:00,800
Speaker 2: about you know, sala Is is Robert sala Is he

2347
01:51:01,040 --> 01:51:01,639
Speaker 2: safe now?

2348
01:51:01,920 --> 01:51:04,720
Speaker 1: I feel like Woody Johnson gave him and Douglas the

2349
01:51:04,840 --> 01:51:06,559
Speaker 1: voting confidence a few weeks ago, right.

2350
01:51:06,520 --> 01:51:09,120
Speaker 2: Yeah he did, he did, But like you don't, you

2351
01:51:09,160 --> 01:51:12,240
Speaker 2: don't never know what's looming. So true, that's your reason

2352
01:51:12,280 --> 01:51:15,320
Speaker 2: I bring it up. I think obviously with the Rogers situation,

2353
01:51:15,520 --> 01:51:17,519
Speaker 2: Rogers played GM for Joe Douglas, so.

2354
01:51:17,640 --> 01:51:21,439
Speaker 1: God winning most inspirational players, Like can we please stop?

2355
01:51:22,240 --> 01:51:24,280
Speaker 1: I know, God get everything, but gave this guy an

2356
01:51:24,280 --> 01:51:26,280
Speaker 1: ownership stake and they probably would have if they could have.

2357
01:51:26,680 --> 01:51:27,920
Speaker 1: I know, it's ridiculous.

2358
01:51:28,320 --> 01:51:30,439
Speaker 5: I think the other side of it is the more

2359
01:51:30,479 --> 01:51:33,840
Speaker 5: interesting one only because of this, Like I'm not one

2360
01:51:33,880 --> 01:51:37,120
Speaker 5: hundred percent sure that everybody's right, Like I know everybody

2361
01:51:37,160 --> 01:51:39,160
Speaker 5: thinks Belichick's gone in the next week.

2362
01:51:39,840 --> 01:51:42,120
Speaker 4: I just I have a hard time finding it, I

2363
01:51:42,160 --> 01:51:42,559
Speaker 4: really do.

2364
01:51:42,680 --> 01:51:45,600
Speaker 5: I know, I trust the reporting of smart people, and

2365
01:51:46,160 --> 01:51:48,479
Speaker 5: you know, Tom Kerrn has done a good job covering

2366
01:51:48,479 --> 01:51:50,439
Speaker 5: that team for a long time, and I'm not taking

2367
01:51:50,439 --> 01:51:54,120
Speaker 5: anything away from that. I just wherever Bill Belichick goes,

2368
01:51:54,320 --> 01:51:56,559
Speaker 5: I do believe that he's probably going to have to

2369
01:51:56,600 --> 01:51:58,439
Speaker 5: work with the GM. If he's going to have to

2370
01:51:58,520 --> 01:52:01,240
Speaker 5: work with the GM anyway wherever he goes, why would

2371
01:52:01,280 --> 01:52:04,560
Speaker 5: he not at least consider having a GM come in

2372
01:52:04,560 --> 01:52:07,439
Speaker 5: in New England to help with some of the personnel stuff.

2373
01:52:07,560 --> 01:52:09,599
Speaker 5: Stepping back and just being a coaching that's where he's

2374
01:52:09,600 --> 01:52:10,320
Speaker 5: gonna be where he goes.

2375
01:52:10,320 --> 01:52:13,480
Speaker 2: Next to be your favorite sit tight on that. Let's

2376
01:52:14,439 --> 01:52:18,719
Speaker 2: go a little deeper with it coming up next, Gayzy. Okay, Yeah,

2377
01:52:18,760 --> 01:52:24,400
Speaker 2: we're the fellas right here, Fox Sports Radio Fellas from

2378
01:52:24,439 --> 01:52:34,120
Speaker 2: the tai Iraq dot Com studios. All right, we're going

2379
01:52:34,200 --> 01:52:37,320
Speaker 2: through the last weekend. It sees a kind of state

2380
01:52:37,400 --> 01:52:39,880
Speaker 2: of all these teams heading into the playoffs or heading

2381
01:52:39,960 --> 01:52:42,519
Speaker 2: into the abyss of the off season.

2382
01:52:43,720 --> 01:52:45,840
Speaker 3: So we were talking.

2383
01:52:45,600 --> 01:52:49,719
Speaker 2: About the Patriots and with the future holds for New England.

2384
01:52:50,479 --> 01:52:53,960
Speaker 2: So you think that Belichick returns to the Patriots, Gayzy,

2385
01:52:54,000 --> 01:52:54,519
Speaker 2: Isn't that right?

2386
01:52:54,840 --> 01:52:55,040
Speaker 1: Yeah?

2387
01:52:55,280 --> 01:52:57,320
Speaker 4: I'm taking Belichick to run it back for one more year.

2388
01:52:57,640 --> 01:52:59,960
Speaker 5: And I was talking to an insider a couple of

2389
01:53:00,160 --> 01:53:02,240
Speaker 5: days ago and he said something that I'm going to

2390
01:53:02,360 --> 01:53:05,320
Speaker 5: just start putting to my mind around every time we

2391
01:53:05,360 --> 01:53:07,719
Speaker 5: break down situations like this, and what he was saying

2392
01:53:07,800 --> 01:53:11,400
Speaker 5: was that oftentimes we take really complicated things, and we

2393
01:53:11,479 --> 01:53:14,080
Speaker 5: try to make them simple. And when it comes down

2394
01:53:14,120 --> 01:53:17,439
Speaker 5: to something like Belichick, if you're the Patriots, there's very

2395
01:53:17,439 --> 01:53:20,000
Speaker 5: little about this that is simple. If your bill even

2396
01:53:20,000 --> 01:53:21,120
Speaker 5: there's very little about this.

2397
01:53:21,120 --> 01:53:23,640
Speaker 4: This is simple. If your bill and you want to

2398
01:53:23,640 --> 01:53:25,559
Speaker 4: go somewhere else, what's that look like? Who are you

2399
01:53:25,600 --> 01:53:26,200
Speaker 4: taking with you?

2400
01:53:26,280 --> 01:53:28,599
Speaker 5: If you're the Patriots and you want a fire bill,

2401
01:53:28,960 --> 01:53:32,240
Speaker 5: you'd be firing everybody that's in the building. Also, you'd

2402
01:53:32,320 --> 01:53:35,160
Speaker 5: have to replace everybody that's in the building. And the

2403
01:53:35,240 --> 01:53:38,400
Speaker 5: Mike Rabel conversation is interesting because so many people have

2404
01:53:38,439 --> 01:53:41,280
Speaker 5: been trying to link Vrabel to the Patriots job. But

2405
01:53:41,320 --> 01:53:44,599
Speaker 5: that's also not simple. You would have to actually trade

2406
01:53:44,640 --> 01:53:47,519
Speaker 5: for Mike Rabel because he is still under contract. And

2407
01:53:47,800 --> 01:53:50,160
Speaker 5: are you willing to trade assets to get a coach?

2408
01:53:50,600 --> 01:53:53,080
Speaker 5: Are you going to try and hold Belichick to trade him.

2409
01:53:53,840 --> 01:53:57,679
Speaker 5: The layers of complication on the Patriots, other than simply

2410
01:53:57,680 --> 01:53:59,680
Speaker 5: walking in and saying you're fire real parting ways, the

2411
01:54:00,360 --> 01:54:04,240
Speaker 5: layers of complications even in replacing him, are so stacked.

2412
01:54:04,920 --> 01:54:07,840
Speaker 5: I just am left to wonder at this point if

2413
01:54:07,840 --> 01:54:10,400
Speaker 5: it doesn't make the most sense for everybody involved. Again,

2414
01:54:10,439 --> 01:54:12,600
Speaker 5: I don't think Bill's gonna take the Chargers job and

2415
01:54:12,600 --> 01:54:15,400
Speaker 5: then suddenly get complete creative control, right like they are

2416
01:54:15,439 --> 01:54:17,719
Speaker 5: going to be checks and balances. I would think wherever

2417
01:54:17,760 --> 01:54:21,000
Speaker 5: he ends up. Also, he's not a spring chicken, So like,

2418
01:54:21,120 --> 01:54:23,160
Speaker 5: is he gonna want to go somewhere and decide that

2419
01:54:23,200 --> 01:54:26,280
Speaker 5: he wants to rebuild That could take three years to initiate.

2420
01:54:26,400 --> 01:54:28,920
Speaker 5: Like I just all of these layers have me thinking

2421
01:54:28,920 --> 01:54:29,599
Speaker 5: he's headed back.

2422
01:54:31,000 --> 01:54:33,160
Speaker 3: We think fake that you gotta tell you.

2423
01:54:34,680 --> 01:54:36,520
Speaker 1: For some reason, My gut is telling me that it's

2424
01:54:36,760 --> 01:54:39,560
Speaker 1: that it's still over and that well, look, there's been

2425
01:54:39,560 --> 01:54:42,320
Speaker 1: talk about a potential rift between Belichick and Craft to

2426
01:54:42,360 --> 01:54:45,840
Speaker 1: a certain degree for the last few years. And look,

2427
01:54:45,880 --> 01:54:48,320
Speaker 1: the defense still players played well. The team has played

2428
01:54:48,360 --> 01:54:50,400
Speaker 1: hard for him. I don't think he's lost the locker room,

2429
01:54:50,880 --> 01:54:52,680
Speaker 1: but you just wonder. And I'm never a fan of

2430
01:54:52,720 --> 01:54:55,400
Speaker 1: making change for the sake of change, But if you're

2431
01:54:55,440 --> 01:54:57,000
Speaker 1: gonna make one, I guess you can say the way

2432
01:54:57,000 --> 01:54:58,880
Speaker 1: the team has performed, or at least the record on

2433
01:54:58,920 --> 01:55:01,040
Speaker 1: the field the last couple of years as would justify that.

2434
01:55:01,080 --> 01:55:03,560
Speaker 1: And Belichick's gonna have I won't say any job that

2435
01:55:03,600 --> 01:55:05,640
Speaker 1: he wants because he's gonna come with a high price tag.

2436
01:55:05,640 --> 01:55:08,280
Speaker 1: And I don't disagree with you, Fitzie that wherever he goes,

2437
01:55:08,320 --> 01:55:10,000
Speaker 1: there's probably gonna have to be some sort of line

2438
01:55:10,040 --> 01:55:12,800
Speaker 1: of check and checks and balances. But there's also a

2439
01:55:12,800 --> 01:55:14,120
Speaker 1: part of me that says, I don't know if a

2440
01:55:14,160 --> 01:55:17,000
Speaker 1: franchise has been desperate enough. If you're the Chargers and

2441
01:55:17,000 --> 01:55:18,720
Speaker 1: you haven't won the way that you've tried to win

2442
01:55:18,760 --> 01:55:21,360
Speaker 1: the last fifteen to twenty years, and you're willing to

2443
01:55:21,400 --> 01:55:24,000
Speaker 1: give up total control to somebody. Is that somebody gonna

2444
01:55:24,000 --> 01:55:26,120
Speaker 1: be Jim Harball. Is that somebody gonna be Bill Belichick?

2445
01:55:27,360 --> 01:55:29,520
Speaker 1: I would personally give it to Horrorball, but Belichick, I'm

2446
01:55:29,560 --> 01:55:31,640
Speaker 1: sure will be in the running for that. And it

2447
01:55:31,640 --> 01:55:33,880
Speaker 1: wouldn't surprise me if somebody were to say, well he

2448
01:55:34,000 --> 01:55:35,840
Speaker 1: just wired as welcome into England. We can run it

2449
01:55:35,880 --> 01:55:37,680
Speaker 1: back and give Hi an opportunity to do it here too.

2450
01:55:37,920 --> 01:55:40,520
Speaker 1: So if I if I were a gambling man, I'd

2451
01:55:40,520 --> 01:55:42,640
Speaker 1: still say that Belichick is probably done in New England.

2452
01:55:43,640 --> 01:55:47,600
Speaker 2: It's gonna be fast staked too, Like Horrball is the

2453
01:55:47,680 --> 01:55:51,600
Speaker 2: big Fix is the big Fish? So where does Horball

2454
01:55:51,720 --> 01:55:55,440
Speaker 2: wind up? Chicago made a lot of sets up until

2455
01:55:55,440 --> 01:55:59,000
Speaker 2: the last, you know, six weeks where the Bears are

2456
01:55:59,040 --> 01:56:03,640
Speaker 2: playing great football. Ebra Flues deserves to be back. He's

2457
01:56:03,640 --> 01:56:08,200
Speaker 2: done a good job. I understand the allure of Harball.

2458
01:56:08,920 --> 01:56:12,200
Speaker 2: So but if not Chicago, if I'm Washington, I go

2459
01:56:12,400 --> 01:56:15,720
Speaker 2: make a big play to try to have the hardball brothers,

2460
01:56:16,160 --> 01:56:18,200
Speaker 2: you know, down the road from each other, down ninety

2461
01:56:18,200 --> 01:56:19,120
Speaker 2: five from one another.

2462
01:56:20,000 --> 01:56:22,800
Speaker 1: But where does he go? Washington hasn't come up much,

2463
01:56:22,840 --> 01:56:25,480
Speaker 1: and I'm surprised by that considering Josh Harris and the

2464
01:56:25,520 --> 01:56:28,040
Speaker 1: deep pockets and wanting to make a splash with Washington.

2465
01:56:28,680 --> 01:56:30,760
Speaker 1: Of all the franchises, that will seem to make the

2466
01:56:30,760 --> 01:56:32,800
Speaker 1: most sense, because I would doubt that Josh Harris would

2467
01:56:32,800 --> 01:56:35,080
Speaker 1: care about Hey, Jim, if you want to be the

2468
01:56:35,080 --> 01:56:37,040
Speaker 1: guy and want to hire her own general manager, by

2469
01:56:37,080 --> 01:56:40,320
Speaker 1: all means, the football operation is yours. The Chargers historically

2470
01:56:40,320 --> 01:56:43,160
Speaker 1: have not done that to their own detriment, and many

2471
01:56:43,200 --> 01:56:45,400
Speaker 1: other franchises are just wary of doing making that sort

2472
01:56:45,440 --> 01:56:48,120
Speaker 1: of decision. So Washington, to me kind of makes the

2473
01:56:48,120 --> 01:56:48,680
Speaker 1: most sense.

2474
01:56:49,320 --> 01:56:52,400
Speaker 3: Well, I bring it up because I do think Washington's.

2475
01:56:51,920 --> 01:56:54,880
Speaker 1: In play, and that should be, absolutely should be.

2476
01:56:54,960 --> 01:56:57,800
Speaker 2: And I know you have it heard, I know you

2477
01:56:57,920 --> 01:57:01,520
Speaker 2: have it heard them a lot. But I think there's

2478
01:57:01,560 --> 01:57:04,800
Speaker 2: a reason for that. Remember, Josh, he's new in the league,

2479
01:57:05,040 --> 01:57:09,440
Speaker 2: and he's he's not a big you know, not one

2480
01:57:09,440 --> 01:57:13,360
Speaker 2: of these guys. It's always talking a ton, So I

2481
01:57:14,120 --> 01:57:16,920
Speaker 2: could see it and he listened. He's a guy I

2482
01:57:16,960 --> 01:57:19,320
Speaker 2: saw with the Sixers. He'll go out and get the

2483
01:57:19,320 --> 01:57:22,840
Speaker 2: most expensive coach out there. Yeah, he's He had a

2484
01:57:22,960 --> 01:57:28,000
Speaker 2: coaching staff filled with like ex coaches, and Doc had

2485
01:57:28,040 --> 01:57:30,880
Speaker 2: an amazing coaching staff at one point, so he's not

2486
01:57:30,960 --> 01:57:32,720
Speaker 2: afraid to put money into coaching.

2487
01:57:33,120 --> 01:57:34,920
Speaker 1: So I could totally see Horball down there.

2488
01:57:35,120 --> 01:57:38,440
Speaker 5: I honestly, guys, I think he stays in Michigan. I know,

2489
01:57:38,520 --> 01:57:40,920
Speaker 5: like everybody thinks he's headed in the NFL. But if

2490
01:57:40,960 --> 01:57:43,480
Speaker 5: the reports are true that there's a ten year contract

2491
01:57:43,480 --> 01:57:45,920
Speaker 5: out there that's been offered to him, that ten year

2492
01:57:46,000 --> 01:57:48,280
Speaker 5: contract at whatever one hundred and twenty five one hundred

2493
01:57:48,320 --> 01:57:51,280
Speaker 5: and fifty million dollars plus incentives, even if he gets

2494
01:57:51,320 --> 01:57:54,720
Speaker 5: a five year offer from somebody in the NFL, you're

2495
01:57:54,760 --> 01:57:59,200
Speaker 5: talking about substantially more money to simply stay at Michigan

2496
01:57:59,520 --> 01:58:01,360
Speaker 5: because of the length of the deal. In the fully

2497
01:58:01,400 --> 01:58:05,480
Speaker 5: guaranteed aspect of coaching contracts, like, if you turn around,

2498
01:58:05,520 --> 01:58:08,800
Speaker 5: if Washington turns around and offers him twenty million dollars

2499
01:58:08,800 --> 01:58:11,200
Speaker 5: a year for a five year deal, that's one hundred

2500
01:58:11,240 --> 01:58:11,880
Speaker 5: million dollars.

2501
01:58:11,960 --> 01:58:13,440
Speaker 4: But if he turns.

2502
01:58:13,200 --> 01:58:17,000
Speaker 5: Around and gets a even slightly covered even in Michigan

2503
01:58:17,000 --> 01:58:19,920
Speaker 5: only Upstair offered a fifteen million, that's one hundred and

2504
01:58:20,000 --> 01:58:21,040
Speaker 5: fifty million dollar.

2505
01:58:21,040 --> 01:58:24,360
Speaker 4: That's a fifty million dollar difference. I think he's back

2506
01:58:24,360 --> 01:58:24,760
Speaker 4: in Michigan.

2507
01:58:24,840 --> 01:58:26,680
Speaker 1: Yeah. The only two things that fight against that is one,

2508
01:58:26,800 --> 01:58:28,920
Speaker 1: he hired Don Yee earlier this week, and he as

2509
01:58:28,960 --> 01:58:32,879
Speaker 1: an NFL guy and well tied into the National Football League.

2510
01:58:32,960 --> 01:58:36,120
Speaker 1: And then two, as toothless as the NCAA is. We

2511
01:58:36,200 --> 01:58:38,280
Speaker 1: know he's not well liked in those offices. And if

2512
01:58:38,320 --> 01:58:40,760
Speaker 1: they can and will, they will throw the book at

2513
01:58:40,800 --> 01:58:44,760
Speaker 1: him for the COVID situation, with the recruiting and the

2514
01:58:44,760 --> 01:58:47,760
Speaker 1: O'Connor stallion situation. And it wouldn't surprise me if they

2515
01:58:47,800 --> 01:58:50,160
Speaker 1: try to go like show cause level with this guy

2516
01:58:50,200 --> 01:58:52,600
Speaker 1: and try to do something really, really punitive against him.

2517
01:58:52,760 --> 01:58:54,160
Speaker 1: That will be the only reason why I think he's

2518
01:58:54,160 --> 01:58:55,000
Speaker 1: on his way out.

2519
01:58:55,200 --> 01:58:59,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree, don't. I don't see him coming back, man,

2520
01:58:59,520 --> 01:59:03,400
Speaker 2: I just don't. And By the way, it's an easier

2521
01:59:03,440 --> 01:59:04,840
Speaker 2: life in the NFL.

2522
01:59:06,800 --> 01:59:08,800
Speaker 1: In many senses. Yeah, especially if you're the head of

2523
01:59:08,800 --> 01:59:10,600
Speaker 1: the snake and you're you're high, you're the president of

2524
01:59:10,640 --> 01:59:12,480
Speaker 1: football operations and the coach, no doubt.

2525
01:59:13,480 --> 01:59:16,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, especially all the stuff to deal you gotta deal

2526
01:59:16,320 --> 01:59:19,280
Speaker 2: with college and everything else. All right, big our naxt

2548
02:00:43,600 --> 02:00:48,320
Speaker 2: And then you're in Houston, FITZI, and you're getting ready

2549
02:00:48,320 --> 02:00:52,920
Speaker 2: for the National Championship Monday night, and I think all

2550
02:00:52,960 --> 02:00:55,480
Speaker 2: of us kind of leave Washington in this game.

2551
02:00:56,760 --> 02:01:00,680
Speaker 5: God, I think Washington covers do I think Washington outright?

2552
02:01:00,800 --> 02:01:03,600
Speaker 4: Ah, it's hard for this is.

2553
02:01:03,560 --> 02:01:06,760
Speaker 5: So tough because you know, you look at the way

2554
02:01:06,800 --> 02:01:09,600
Speaker 5: Michigan is built, and we talked about it earlier, but

2555
02:01:09,600 --> 02:01:12,800
Speaker 5: they can't stress this. Michigan's gonna eat, right, Like, you know,

2556
02:01:12,880 --> 02:01:15,240
Speaker 5: Michigan's gonna eat. They're gonna be able to throw the football,

2557
02:01:15,400 --> 02:01:16,879
Speaker 5: They're gonna be able to run the football.

2558
02:01:16,920 --> 02:01:17,880
Speaker 4: They are going to eat.

2559
02:01:18,560 --> 02:01:21,880
Speaker 5: This whole game to me just comes down to the

2560
02:01:22,040 --> 02:01:27,160
Speaker 5: very basic Michigan's defensive line versus Washington's offensive line. And

2561
02:01:27,480 --> 02:01:30,240
Speaker 5: everybody keeps telling me, well, they you know, they won

2562
02:01:30,280 --> 02:01:33,080
Speaker 5: the Joe More Award. Washington's offensive line that is, which

2563
02:01:33,120 --> 02:01:35,360
Speaker 5: goes to the best offensive line in the country, and

2564
02:01:35,480 --> 02:01:38,000
Speaker 5: people then say, well, but they played against pac twelve teams. Okay,

2565
02:01:38,240 --> 02:01:41,080
Speaker 5: I should just at least remind everybody that Joe Moore

2566
02:01:41,160 --> 02:01:44,280
Speaker 5: Award voters are fat guys that played right, and so

2567
02:01:44,800 --> 02:01:47,480
Speaker 5: the fat guys that played the game that are watching,

2568
02:01:47,520 --> 02:01:49,960
Speaker 5: fat guys that play the game think that these fat

2569
02:01:49,960 --> 02:01:52,280
Speaker 5: guys communicated and did a better job than any.

2570
02:01:52,160 --> 02:01:54,160
Speaker 4: Other group of fat guys in the country. Like that

2571
02:01:54,200 --> 02:01:55,080
Speaker 4: has meaning to me.

2572
02:01:55,560 --> 02:01:58,440
Speaker 5: And what we saw in the game against Alabama was

2573
02:01:58,600 --> 02:02:02,200
Speaker 5: so much miscommunication up front, Like the stunts were getting

2574
02:02:02,320 --> 02:02:05,320
Speaker 5: right up the gut, the tackles were slow to get

2575
02:02:05,320 --> 02:02:09,080
Speaker 5: out of their stance. For Alabama, like Michigan just absolutely

2576
02:02:09,120 --> 02:02:12,000
Speaker 5: dominated in every way because they were better, they were faster,

2577
02:02:12,080 --> 02:02:14,880
Speaker 5: they were more explosive, but also because Alabama's offensive line

2578
02:02:15,240 --> 02:02:16,280
Speaker 5: us played poorly.

2579
02:02:16,400 --> 02:02:18,640
Speaker 4: I just it was a huge mismatch.

2580
02:02:18,720 --> 02:02:21,240
Speaker 5: I don't know if you can get that sort of

2581
02:02:21,240 --> 02:02:24,800
Speaker 5: an advantage over that Washington offensive line. And then go

2582
02:02:24,880 --> 02:02:27,240
Speaker 5: back to what Sarks said afterwards, where he said, there

2583
02:02:27,240 --> 02:02:29,440
Speaker 5: were a couple of times we thought we had Panick sacked,

2584
02:02:29,480 --> 02:02:32,440
Speaker 5: but he's just he's slippery, He got away, he climbs

2585
02:02:32,440 --> 02:02:35,920
Speaker 5: the pocket, really well, Like this is interesting because I

2586
02:02:36,000 --> 02:02:38,840
Speaker 5: genuinely think this is going to be an incredibly high

2587
02:02:38,920 --> 02:02:40,040
Speaker 5: scoring football game.

2588
02:02:41,280 --> 02:02:45,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't see how either of these teams, you know,

2589
02:02:45,280 --> 02:02:48,400
Speaker 2: get a lot of stops. I because first of all,

2590
02:02:48,440 --> 02:02:51,880
Speaker 2: you mentioned you know, Panix and who is just amazing.

2591
02:02:52,400 --> 02:02:58,840
Speaker 2: He's got ridiculous NFL weapons. I mean, you know, they're

2592
02:02:58,840 --> 02:03:01,280
Speaker 2: going to move the ball, They're gonna go down the field,

2593
02:03:01,840 --> 02:03:07,960
Speaker 2: and they will stress Michigan secondary and you know, well conversely,

2594
02:03:08,040 --> 02:03:09,640
Speaker 2: you know, Michigan's gonna go up and down the field.

2595
02:03:09,680 --> 02:03:13,400
Speaker 2: I mean the run of a quorum and Washington's pass

2596
02:03:13,440 --> 02:03:17,960
Speaker 2: defense is just bad. So yeah, you saw it. You

2597
02:03:18,080 --> 02:03:20,320
Speaker 2: actually saw at the end of the game. I didn't

2598
02:03:20,440 --> 02:03:23,840
Speaker 2: like the Texas's game plan. I thought they should have

2599
02:03:23,840 --> 02:03:25,520
Speaker 2: been attacking down the field more often.

2600
02:03:26,320 --> 02:03:28,200
Speaker 1: Well, if anything, I thought they should have run more

2601
02:03:28,240 --> 02:03:30,160
Speaker 1: often because they were having success, and they kind of

2602
02:03:30,200 --> 02:03:32,680
Speaker 1: got away from it. And when you thought that Washington

2603
02:03:32,680 --> 02:03:35,360
Speaker 1: was really gonna pull away, you know, be up by ten, twelve,

2604
02:03:35,400 --> 02:03:37,560
Speaker 1: fourteen points, whatever it was, it never really happened. And

2605
02:03:37,560 --> 02:03:40,040
Speaker 1: I think Texas sort of panicked, and maybe that's what

2606
02:03:40,080 --> 02:03:42,840
Speaker 1: it was. Washington strikes so much fear in you. You

2607
02:03:42,840 --> 02:03:44,560
Speaker 1: feel like, well, we got to score touchdowns and score

2608
02:03:44,600 --> 02:03:46,280
Speaker 1: them as soon as we possibly can. We can't afford

2609
02:03:46,360 --> 02:03:48,160
Speaker 1: to run and get stopped and give them the ball back.

2610
02:03:48,160 --> 02:03:50,640
Speaker 1: And maybe that factored into their game plan. But they

2611
02:03:50,720 --> 02:03:53,000
Speaker 1: ran for almost two hundred yards. I mean, they didn't

2612
02:03:53,000 --> 02:03:56,080
Speaker 1: get stopped on the on the ground at all. It

2613
02:03:56,120 --> 02:03:58,440
Speaker 1: was just a really interesting strategy. I thought they should

2614
02:03:58,440 --> 02:03:59,840
Speaker 1: have stuck with the run a little bit more.

2615
02:04:00,480 --> 02:04:02,480
Speaker 5: Let me throw a variable at you guys here that

2616
02:04:02,560 --> 02:04:05,800
Speaker 5: I'm thinking of now, because I think of explosive offense

2617
02:04:05,840 --> 02:04:08,960
Speaker 5: and how's Michigan going to stop all these weapons? Is

2618
02:04:09,000 --> 02:04:12,800
Speaker 5: there some benefit that Michigan has from having not maybe

2619
02:04:12,800 --> 02:04:14,840
Speaker 5: not this year, but especially last year CJ.

2620
02:04:14,920 --> 02:04:16,360
Speaker 4: Stroud Marvin Harrison Junior.

2621
02:04:16,400 --> 02:04:19,720
Speaker 5: Like they faced an Ohio State team that is every

2622
02:04:19,760 --> 02:04:22,600
Speaker 5: bit as difficult to figure out how to defend, and

2623
02:04:22,640 --> 02:04:25,080
Speaker 5: they beat them, Like maybe there is some level. Maybe

2624
02:04:25,120 --> 02:04:30,800
Speaker 5: I'm under selling Michigan's past experience against explosive teams in

2625
02:04:30,840 --> 02:04:34,200
Speaker 5: this situation, because Michigan has certainly played teams over the

2626
02:04:34,240 --> 02:04:37,600
Speaker 5: last couple of years that are as capable as Washington

2627
02:04:37,640 --> 02:04:39,800
Speaker 5: of scoring. I don't know that Washington has faced a

2628
02:04:39,840 --> 02:04:41,600
Speaker 5: team over the last couple of years that are as

2629
02:04:41,680 --> 02:04:43,920
Speaker 5: capable of doing what Michigan can do as they've done.

2630
02:04:44,000 --> 02:04:46,000
Speaker 1: You know, I don't yet to a degree. Yes, I

2631
02:04:46,040 --> 02:04:49,560
Speaker 1: also don't know if Michigan has faced to this level.

2632
02:04:49,640 --> 02:04:52,360
Speaker 1: I mean, you got three two first round pick receivers

2633
02:04:52,360 --> 02:04:54,120
Speaker 1: and another guy that's going to be an NFL player

2634
02:04:54,120 --> 02:04:56,320
Speaker 1: at receiver. You got a first round pick at quarterback.

2635
02:04:56,520 --> 02:04:59,400
Speaker 1: Dylan Johnson is one of the better better running backs.

2636
02:05:00,080 --> 02:05:05,400
Speaker 1: Had twelve is a joe. I don't Ohio State had

2637
02:05:05,600 --> 02:05:10,360
Speaker 1: specifically this year with year even last year, Like, I

2638
02:05:10,360 --> 02:05:12,960
Speaker 1: don't think they faced the level of offense, uh that

2639
02:05:12,960 --> 02:05:15,560
Speaker 1: they're gonna face coming up on Monday, even last year.

2640
02:05:17,040 --> 02:05:20,200
Speaker 2: Wow, Yeah, I think last year's comparence the Ohio State

2641
02:05:20,280 --> 02:05:23,560
Speaker 2: was good. Last year, I mean cheefe, I mean you

2642
02:05:23,560 --> 02:05:26,640
Speaker 2: see we just talked about Yeah, no, I agree. I

2643
02:05:26,680 --> 02:05:29,280
Speaker 2: mean so you know, I don't know it's gonna be

2644
02:05:29,800 --> 02:05:32,440
Speaker 2: It's gonna be interesting. Yeah, I mean it's funny, man,

2645
02:05:32,600 --> 02:05:35,960
Speaker 2: Like you know, and I hear what you're saying about,

2646
02:05:36,040 --> 02:05:37,680
Speaker 2: you know, the Texas run game. I was just thinking

2647
02:05:37,680 --> 02:05:41,440
Speaker 2: about that. But man, I keep going back to yours.

2648
02:05:41,760 --> 02:05:47,160
Speaker 2: In the last the last frenetic, like six minutes, was

2649
02:05:47,320 --> 02:05:52,160
Speaker 2: just getting chunks of yardage down the field well.

2650
02:05:51,960 --> 02:05:54,480
Speaker 5: And youwers had the opportunity at the end to make

2651
02:05:54,520 --> 02:05:56,520
Speaker 5: the play a couple of times. I mean, just yea,

2652
02:05:57,200 --> 02:05:59,920
Speaker 5: it was there for Texas. That's that's also not lost.

2653
02:06:00,080 --> 02:06:03,000
Speaker 5: Both of these teams are in the championship game and

2654
02:06:03,080 --> 02:06:05,880
Speaker 5: both of them had operate like moments where I thought, Golley,

2655
02:06:05,960 --> 02:06:06,680
Speaker 5: they're gonna let this.

2656
02:06:06,600 --> 02:06:10,560
Speaker 2: Go Ala Bama took control in that third quarter. Baba

2657
02:06:10,680 --> 02:06:12,680
Speaker 2: took control of it.

2658
02:06:12,200 --> 02:06:14,920
Speaker 1: Control the game. I mean, because I mean, but Texas

2659
02:06:14,960 --> 02:06:18,520
Speaker 1: also has you know, Jatavion Sanders, Xavier Worthy and like

2660
02:06:18,600 --> 02:06:21,480
Speaker 1: legit receivers. I'm not hating on Michigan, but that's not

2661
02:06:21,520 --> 02:06:25,200
Speaker 1: necessarily the strength of their offense, which is why I said,

2662
02:06:25,280 --> 02:06:27,760
Speaker 1: for like, my belief is if Washington is just gonna

2663
02:06:27,760 --> 02:06:31,400
Speaker 1: sell out on the run and challenge Michigan, Yes, Washington's

2664
02:06:31,640 --> 02:06:34,360
Speaker 1: weakness is their secondary and for them, they might say,

2665
02:06:34,360 --> 02:06:36,240
Speaker 1: you know what, JJ McCarthy, if you are the best

2666
02:06:36,320 --> 02:06:38,960
Speaker 1: quarterback in the history of the University of Michigan, then

2667
02:06:38,960 --> 02:06:42,240
Speaker 1: improve it. We're not gonna let Blake cornbidaz. Blake's gonna

2668
02:06:42,280 --> 02:06:43,960
Speaker 1: have a good game. I don't know, he's gonna run

2669
02:06:43,960 --> 02:06:45,080
Speaker 1: for two hundred and thirty yards.

2670
02:06:45,120 --> 02:06:47,520
Speaker 2: Well, look now, because if you're Washington, you have to

2671
02:06:47,600 --> 02:06:50,440
Speaker 2: crew have to crowd the box, right, you gotta go

2672
02:06:50,520 --> 02:06:53,160
Speaker 2: with an eight man front, nine man. You gotta force

2673
02:06:53,720 --> 02:06:55,800
Speaker 2: JJ McCarthy to beach all day long.

2674
02:06:56,840 --> 02:06:59,640
Speaker 5: I agree with everything that you're saying, and that is

2675
02:06:59,640 --> 02:07:03,000
Speaker 5: the app right approach. My only question is do we

2676
02:07:03,040 --> 02:07:05,840
Speaker 5: really believe it? Like, look, I can all day long.

2677
02:07:06,080 --> 02:07:07,640
Speaker 5: You can roll the ball out in the court. I

2678
02:07:07,640 --> 02:07:09,280
Speaker 5: can hand it to Lebron and I can say, you

2679
02:07:09,280 --> 02:07:11,160
Speaker 5: know what, Lebron, I'm not gonna let you score on me,

2680
02:07:11,440 --> 02:07:13,040
Speaker 5: and he is still going to destroy me in a

2681
02:07:13,040 --> 02:07:14,840
Speaker 5: game of one on one. Right, Like I can try

2682
02:07:14,880 --> 02:07:17,320
Speaker 5: all day long to stop it, doesn't mean I can.

2683
02:07:17,720 --> 02:07:20,320
Speaker 5: I'm not sure even if Washington stacks the box that

2684
02:07:20,360 --> 02:07:24,040
Speaker 5: they're gonna Stopcorn from getting fed, Like that's just Washington's

2685
02:07:24,120 --> 02:07:26,720
Speaker 5: I mean, Alabama was certainly trying to stop him from

2686
02:07:26,720 --> 02:07:27,280
Speaker 5: getting fed.

2687
02:07:27,480 --> 02:07:29,080
Speaker 4: And that's a better Alabama.

2688
02:07:28,640 --> 02:07:31,440
Speaker 5: Defense than Washington's defense at this point. Right, So I

2689
02:07:31,680 --> 02:07:34,280
Speaker 5: just I hear that like that's the right approach. I

2690
02:07:34,480 --> 02:07:39,040
Speaker 5: I just you know well that you can stop that.

2691
02:07:39,320 --> 02:07:42,400
Speaker 2: No, no, no, and listen, I don't think just because

2692
02:07:42,400 --> 02:07:44,400
Speaker 2: you put eight men in the box and automatically you're

2693
02:07:44,400 --> 02:07:47,040
Speaker 2: going to stop it, even though the numbers game, but

2694
02:07:48,400 --> 02:07:51,080
Speaker 2: you know you're going to force like the correct way

2695
02:07:51,160 --> 02:07:54,240
Speaker 2: to the attack is to attack through the air. And

2696
02:07:54,400 --> 02:08:00,360
Speaker 2: I think either way, I think McCarthy, you're he's I'm

2697
02:08:00,480 --> 02:08:02,000
Speaker 2: curious how he's going to react.

2698
02:08:02,520 --> 02:08:05,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, because there's a lot of pressure on him.

2699
02:08:05,560 --> 02:08:07,960
Speaker 1: Man, And because within that, you know, you score twenty

2700
02:08:07,960 --> 02:08:10,640
Speaker 1: points in regulation to get to Alabama. Twenty points is

2701
02:08:10,680 --> 02:08:13,040
Speaker 1: not as good as Michigan's defense is. That's not gonna

2702
02:08:13,040 --> 02:08:16,040
Speaker 1: be enough to be Washington. It just isn't. So you're

2703
02:08:16,040 --> 02:08:18,200
Speaker 1: gonna have to be able to score some points and

2704
02:08:18,360 --> 02:08:20,520
Speaker 1: pound and corm up the middle, you know, three times

2705
02:08:20,520 --> 02:08:22,280
Speaker 1: and getting the first down here and there, you know,

2706
02:08:22,480 --> 02:08:25,640
Speaker 1: a long drive to score sit ten seventeen points. You're

2707
02:08:25,640 --> 02:08:27,520
Speaker 1: only gonna be able to do that so much macarth.

2708
02:08:27,560 --> 02:08:29,360
Speaker 1: If they're gonna win, mcarthy's gonna have to be the

2709
02:08:29,360 --> 02:08:29,840
Speaker 1: one to make.

2710
02:08:29,720 --> 02:08:30,280
Speaker 3: The big place.

2711
02:08:30,440 --> 02:08:34,560
Speaker 2: I feel, yeah, I agree, And I because I don't

2712
02:08:34,600 --> 02:08:38,120
Speaker 2: worry about Penix, Like I know Panis is gonna show

2713
02:08:38,200 --> 02:08:39,880
Speaker 2: up right, and what Peedicks is gonna get me?

2714
02:08:41,000 --> 02:08:42,960
Speaker 1: I don't know what McCarthy's.

2715
02:08:42,320 --> 02:08:45,600
Speaker 5: Gonna do is there, Like there's some level for me.

2716
02:08:46,040 --> 02:08:48,320
Speaker 5: I'm just if this is a thought process for me,

2717
02:08:48,360 --> 02:08:50,520
Speaker 5: because like I said, my money's on I put my

2718
02:08:50,560 --> 02:08:53,760
Speaker 5: money on Washington minus or plus four and a half because

2719
02:08:54,680 --> 02:08:57,000
Speaker 5: or minus four and a half. Because uh, there's just

2720
02:08:57,000 --> 02:08:59,080
Speaker 5: some level of I think the point spread was too high, right,

2721
02:08:59,120 --> 02:09:00,720
Speaker 5: Like I think we get the to me, this is

2722
02:09:00,760 --> 02:09:01,560
Speaker 5: a field coal game.

2723
02:09:02,160 --> 02:09:04,720
Speaker 4: But so I like, I like the points in this situation.

2724
02:09:04,800 --> 02:09:09,080
Speaker 5: But when we're talking about winning outright, the other complication

2725
02:09:09,200 --> 02:09:11,480
Speaker 5: and all of this is, like you win these games

2726
02:09:11,520 --> 02:09:15,440
Speaker 5: because somebody makes mistakes. JJ McCarthy, to his credit this year,

2727
02:09:15,840 --> 02:09:18,000
Speaker 5: has not made mistakes. What's he had four picks all

2728
02:09:18,080 --> 02:09:21,840
Speaker 5: year long? Like he's been efficient his completion present, Like

2729
02:09:21,880 --> 02:09:24,320
Speaker 5: he's been efficient as a quarterback. Do we have it

2730
02:09:24,560 --> 02:09:26,480
Speaker 5: and we've got two quarterbacks in this game that this

2731
02:09:26,560 --> 02:09:29,080
Speaker 5: is one of the interesting modern developments in college football.

2732
02:09:29,280 --> 02:09:31,600
Speaker 5: We have two quarterbacks that have played like they've played

2733
02:09:31,640 --> 02:09:34,280
Speaker 5: a lot of football. So, like, I think that's also interesting.

2734
02:09:34,320 --> 02:09:36,080
Speaker 5: I don't know who I think is more likely to

2735
02:09:36,080 --> 02:09:38,960
Speaker 5: make a mistake. If we're asking both quarterbacks, I.

2736
02:09:39,360 --> 02:09:40,920
Speaker 3: Think it's clear. I'll be honest with you.

2737
02:09:41,160 --> 02:09:43,720
Speaker 1: I think it's McCarthy, yeah, Gayzy.

2738
02:09:43,480 --> 02:09:48,120
Speaker 2: Like, look, look at Panics has been forced to carry

2739
02:09:48,160 --> 02:09:50,280
Speaker 2: that team. I mean, I like Dylan Johnson a lot,

2740
02:09:50,520 --> 02:09:55,160
Speaker 2: but come on, it's a Panics production, whereas Michigan will

2741
02:09:55,200 --> 02:09:59,040
Speaker 2: do anything not to throw right, Like, look and look

2742
02:09:59,080 --> 02:10:02,440
Speaker 2: at the streke. That's schedule who Washington played and who

2743
02:10:02,480 --> 02:10:06,960
Speaker 2: Michigan played and where they needed McCarthy to throw the

2744
02:10:07,000 --> 02:10:07,600
Speaker 2: ball to win.

2745
02:10:10,000 --> 02:10:13,240
Speaker 4: There is a level you're not You're not wrong everything

2746
02:10:13,240 --> 02:10:13,640
Speaker 4: you're saying.

2747
02:10:13,960 --> 02:10:16,160
Speaker 5: And by the way, Penix, I just looked it up

2748
02:10:16,160 --> 02:10:18,080
Speaker 5: because I was like, maybe I'm forgetting No, Penix has

2749
02:10:18,120 --> 02:10:20,440
Speaker 5: been incredibly efficient too. I want to give him his

2750
02:10:20,440 --> 02:10:23,800
Speaker 5: his flowers for this, and Dylan Johnson his health is

2751
02:10:23,840 --> 02:10:25,880
Speaker 5: a big part of this game too. I don't want

2752
02:10:25,880 --> 02:10:29,640
Speaker 5: to take anything away from Washington. I think there's just

2753
02:10:29,720 --> 02:10:34,000
Speaker 5: an element of I know, I know Michigan's pass rush

2754
02:10:34,040 --> 02:10:36,680
Speaker 5: can at least at least be disrupted, and one mistake

2755
02:10:36,720 --> 02:10:38,920
Speaker 5: can be such a turn in this game. But I'm

2756
02:10:38,960 --> 02:10:41,120
Speaker 5: with you, like I'm trying to I'm trying to pull

2757
02:10:41,160 --> 02:10:43,080
Speaker 5: holes in my own argument here. But the more we

2758
02:10:43,080 --> 02:10:45,080
Speaker 5: talk about it, the more I continue to lean Washington.

2759
02:10:45,120 --> 02:10:47,720
Speaker 5: I don't know if I'm just being counterculture on this,

2760
02:10:47,800 --> 02:10:49,920
Speaker 5: but they just man, it just feels like it's there.

2761
02:10:50,000 --> 02:10:52,360
Speaker 1: Well. The one thing I'll say about Washington's defense too,

2762
02:10:52,480 --> 02:10:55,240
Speaker 1: is they might not be very good at getting stopped,

2763
02:10:55,240 --> 02:10:58,080
Speaker 1: but they are extremely opportunistic and that's how they've you know,

2764
02:10:58,200 --> 02:11:01,120
Speaker 1: kind of made up for the deficiency. They force a

2765
02:11:01,160 --> 02:11:04,120
Speaker 1: lot of turnovers, so they're gonna be stripping that balls

2766
02:11:04,120 --> 02:11:07,000
Speaker 1: if they're going to challenge JJ McCarthy to make a play.

2767
02:11:06,800 --> 02:11:09,560
Speaker 1: They're very aggressive defensively, and I think that's part of

2768
02:11:09,600 --> 02:11:11,240
Speaker 1: the reason why they get beat as often as they do,

2769
02:11:11,360 --> 02:11:14,160
Speaker 1: is because they're aggressive. And so if we're talking about

2770
02:11:14,160 --> 02:11:16,720
Speaker 1: one turnover being able to turn the game as efficient

2771
02:11:16,720 --> 02:11:20,320
Speaker 1: as McCarthy has been to because his point, they just

2772
02:11:20,360 --> 02:11:21,880
Speaker 1: haven't leaned on him a lot. He hasn't had to

2773
02:11:21,880 --> 02:11:24,480
Speaker 1: throw the ball a lot. Michael Pennis, this is where

2774
02:11:24,520 --> 02:11:26,440
Speaker 1: he lives. He wants to throw the ball forty times

2775
02:11:26,440 --> 02:11:28,440
Speaker 1: a game. By all means, I've been doing this all season.

2776
02:11:28,440 --> 02:11:31,360
Speaker 1: I've been doing my entire college career. So that's kind

2777
02:11:31,360 --> 02:11:32,760
Speaker 1: of why I lean more on watching. If you're talking

2778
02:11:32,760 --> 02:11:34,840
Speaker 1: about who's more apt to make a mistake. Even though

2779
02:11:34,880 --> 02:11:37,440
Speaker 1: McCarthy hasn't made many, he hasn't had a lot of

2780
02:11:37,440 --> 02:11:39,840
Speaker 1: opportunities to make them because he's just been really conservative

2781
02:11:39,840 --> 02:11:42,879
Speaker 1: with the way they've played. I tend to trust pinis

2782
02:11:42,880 --> 02:11:44,920
Speaker 1: more putting up the ball in the air to make

2783
02:11:44,920 --> 02:11:46,160
Speaker 1: fewer mistakes than McCarthy.

2784
02:11:46,360 --> 02:11:48,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, can I give you one, like this is the

2785
02:11:48,280 --> 02:11:50,280
Speaker 5: one stat I think you could continue to say to

2786
02:11:50,280 --> 02:11:55,200
Speaker 5: everybody that will really encapsulates this whole thing. JJ McCarthy

2787
02:11:55,680 --> 02:12:00,000
Speaker 5: has less attempts this year than Michael Pennick Junior has completions.

2788
02:12:00,560 --> 02:12:05,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's not surprising. I mean, right, we talked

2789
02:12:05,320 --> 02:12:08,160
Speaker 2: about it before, Like penn State came, he be throw

2790
02:12:08,200 --> 02:12:11,040
Speaker 2: the ball in the second half rank, you know, I

2791
02:12:11,080 --> 02:12:12,840
Speaker 2: mean like and then you had then you had all

2792
02:12:13,040 --> 02:12:15,840
Speaker 2: the half the donkeys on the schedule that they played.

2793
02:12:16,840 --> 02:12:21,480
Speaker 1: Right now, there's a certain element of just because JJ

2794
02:12:21,720 --> 02:12:24,480
Speaker 1: hasn't done it doesn't mean he can't. But it's hard

2795
02:12:24,520 --> 02:12:26,440
Speaker 1: for me to ride with him when I just haven't

2796
02:12:26,440 --> 02:12:29,040
Speaker 1: seen him do it. You know, It's like, you gotta

2797
02:12:29,080 --> 02:12:31,280
Speaker 1: show me before I can actually have confidence that you can.

2798
02:12:31,680 --> 02:12:33,040
Speaker 1: That's kind of where I'm sitting with it.

2799
02:12:33,440 --> 02:12:38,480
Speaker 2: And and I just can't get passed. I can't get

2800
02:12:38,520 --> 02:12:46,200
Speaker 2: past panics down the field. His it's sick. It's unbelievable

2801
02:12:47,000 --> 02:12:49,400
Speaker 2: how he throws the ball down the field. I mean,

2802
02:12:49,760 --> 02:12:53,800
Speaker 2: I mean, first of all, those receivers are insane, three

2803
02:12:53,800 --> 02:12:56,840
Speaker 2: of them. They all they could all run, they all

2804
02:12:56,960 --> 02:13:00,680
Speaker 2: are great route runners, and they all can track them ball.

2805
02:13:00,960 --> 02:13:05,800
Speaker 3: But I mean he's thrown at fifty sixty yards on

2806
02:13:05,880 --> 02:13:06,800
Speaker 3: a rope.

2807
02:13:07,000 --> 02:13:09,480
Speaker 1: And dropping it in perfectly. We're only you know, a

2808
02:13:09,560 --> 02:13:12,560
Speaker 1: dude the left side line that at one pass last week.

2809
02:13:13,120 --> 02:13:16,480
Speaker 5: It was just like every you gotta believe, every single

2810
02:13:16,600 --> 02:13:20,160
Speaker 5: NFL scout just started salivating at that time. Have him

2811
02:13:20,160 --> 02:13:22,200
Speaker 5: streaking down the sideline and not even really have to

2812
02:13:22,200 --> 02:13:24,960
Speaker 5: put his hands out like it's just landed in the basket.

2813
02:13:25,040 --> 02:13:27,680
Speaker 5: Like that's insane, insane accuracy.

2814
02:13:28,120 --> 02:13:29,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, ridiculous.

2815
02:13:29,480 --> 02:13:33,080
Speaker 2: All right, real quick, because we got the big brain

2816
02:13:33,200 --> 02:13:36,240
Speaker 2: coming up and I want to be able to get

2817
02:13:36,280 --> 02:13:38,960
Speaker 2: the hand. But there's a couple of other games that

2818
02:13:39,000 --> 02:13:44,560
Speaker 2: we got to get to. Uh did Jaguars and Titans did?

2819
02:13:44,600 --> 02:13:48,160
Speaker 2: Speaking of teams leaking oil man, did Jaguars look so good?

2820
02:13:49,240 --> 02:13:51,560
Speaker 2: And now, man, you know, you don't know if Lawrence's

2821
02:13:51,600 --> 02:13:53,880
Speaker 2: going to play. I guess he's going to try. Obviously,

2822
02:13:53,880 --> 02:13:57,960
Speaker 2: he's going to try but that Jaguars team just fell off.

2823
02:14:00,840 --> 02:14:01,960
Speaker 3: What's the issue there?

2824
02:14:02,880 --> 02:14:03,720
Speaker 4: It's had a sink.

2825
02:14:03,840 --> 02:14:05,880
Speaker 5: You know when Trevor Lawrence said a few weeks ago,

2826
02:14:06,000 --> 02:14:08,360
Speaker 5: looked like we didn't even practice one thing. You and

2827
02:14:08,400 --> 02:14:10,800
Speaker 5: I talked about what probably two months ago, mob way

2828
02:14:10,800 --> 02:14:13,120
Speaker 5: through the season, was like, it felt like their offense

2829
02:14:13,160 --> 02:14:16,280
Speaker 5: had lost rhythm right, and as many stars as they

2830
02:14:16,280 --> 02:14:17,920
Speaker 5: have and as much as we thought that we could

2831
02:14:17,920 --> 02:14:20,680
Speaker 5: trust the development of this and the coach and all

2832
02:14:20,680 --> 02:14:23,560
Speaker 5: of these different things, it just feels like they have

2833
02:14:23,800 --> 02:14:27,360
Speaker 5: lost sink. And so what happens is they find themselves

2834
02:14:27,760 --> 02:14:30,600
Speaker 5: in negative down and distance too often, trying to get

2835
02:14:30,640 --> 02:14:33,480
Speaker 5: themselves out of a hole. Too often, one little play

2836
02:14:33,520 --> 02:14:36,080
Speaker 5: here and there has managed to just sabotage everything. Trevor

2837
02:14:36,120 --> 02:14:39,720
Speaker 5: Lawrence also not healthy. Like Frankly, I get that. You

2838
02:14:39,760 --> 02:14:41,440
Speaker 5: know he's going to try and play, but you're taking

2839
02:14:41,480 --> 02:14:43,880
Speaker 5: on Ryan Tannehill at this point, looks like he's going

2840
02:14:43,920 --> 02:14:47,000
Speaker 5: to start for the Titans. I just the Titans are awful.

2841
02:14:47,040 --> 02:14:50,080
Speaker 5: The Titans right now today, I think are the second

2842
02:14:50,080 --> 02:14:52,880
Speaker 5: worst team in the NFL. So you shouldn't need Trevor

2843
02:14:52,960 --> 02:14:55,200
Speaker 5: Lawrence to beat them, but man, you got to get

2844
02:14:55,240 --> 02:14:57,280
Speaker 5: some sort of good feeling. If you're the Jags going

2845
02:14:57,320 --> 02:14:58,520
Speaker 5: into this playoff.

2846
02:15:00,280 --> 02:15:00,720
Speaker 3: I don't know.

2847
02:15:00,800 --> 02:15:02,800
Speaker 2: I think they're going to and I think they're going

2848
02:15:02,840 --> 02:15:05,760
Speaker 2: to compete. I think Tennessee will compete.

2849
02:15:06,000 --> 02:15:08,480
Speaker 1: Oh, Tennessee, I think has a great shot to beat

2850
02:15:08,560 --> 02:15:10,800
Speaker 1: him based on the way Jacksonville has played all season long.

2851
02:15:10,840 --> 02:15:13,160
Speaker 1: You know, and this is something Anthony, you and I

2852
02:15:13,240 --> 02:15:15,560
Speaker 1: talked about this going into the season in Fitzy too.

2853
02:15:15,640 --> 02:15:18,280
Speaker 1: Is like success a lot of times, especially for young

2854
02:15:18,320 --> 02:15:20,800
Speaker 1: teams who don't have a lot of experience in young quarterbacks,

2855
02:15:20,920 --> 02:15:24,080
Speaker 1: is almost never linear. You know, the teams are going

2856
02:15:24,120 --> 02:15:25,680
Speaker 1: to adjust to you. They had that great end of

2857
02:15:25,680 --> 02:15:27,720
Speaker 1: the season to comeback against the Chargers in the postseason,

2858
02:15:27,720 --> 02:15:30,840
Speaker 1: played Kansas City tough in the divisional playoff game. You know,

2859
02:15:30,880 --> 02:15:32,560
Speaker 1: you have to be able to adjust to the adjustments.

2860
02:15:32,600 --> 02:15:35,520
Speaker 1: And it doesn't seem like, amid the injuries and other issues,

2861
02:15:35,920 --> 02:15:37,920
Speaker 1: that they've done a good job of doing that this year.

2862
02:15:37,920 --> 02:15:39,600
Speaker 1: And they've kind of taken a bit of a half

2863
02:15:39,600 --> 02:15:42,200
Speaker 1: of a step back, and that's been the big issue.

2864
02:15:42,200 --> 02:15:43,880
Speaker 1: I mean, Trevor Lawrence has been turning the ball over

2865
02:15:43,920 --> 02:15:46,600
Speaker 1: at an alarming rate, losing fumbles left and Right's been

2866
02:15:46,640 --> 02:15:50,440
Speaker 1: sacked almost forty times this year. It's just a bad look.

2867
02:15:50,480 --> 02:15:53,360
Speaker 1: I can absolutely see a path where Tennessee and Ryan

2868
02:15:53,400 --> 02:15:54,800
Speaker 1: Tannehill get to victory tomorrow.

2869
02:15:55,960 --> 02:15:58,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I kind of feeling the same thing, man.

2870
02:15:59,320 --> 02:16:05,040
Speaker 2: And then, of course, Tomorrow night is an amazing game

2871
02:16:05,240 --> 02:16:14,400
Speaker 2: for the AFC East Bill's mafia, traveling h to Miami

2872
02:16:14,440 --> 02:16:18,000
Speaker 2: and South Beach and droves. They're doing the Bills chance

2873
02:16:18,800 --> 02:16:24,480
Speaker 2: the Bill's songs, they're singing the songs. They're descending upon Miami.

2874
02:16:24,760 --> 02:16:28,640
Speaker 2: So this is a great game. I think the Bills win, man,

2875
02:16:28,720 --> 02:16:32,480
Speaker 2: I do. I Look, I know Miami's better than what

2876
02:16:32,520 --> 02:16:36,400
Speaker 2: happened last week and and no waddle last week against Baltimore,

2877
02:16:37,120 --> 02:16:40,120
Speaker 2: but I think the Bills handled him the first time

2878
02:16:40,200 --> 02:16:44,680
Speaker 2: forty five to twenty. And I think Sean McDermott knows

2879
02:16:44,680 --> 02:16:48,119
Speaker 2: how to knows how to limit Tyreek a little bit.

2880
02:16:49,080 --> 02:16:51,840
Speaker 2: Russell Douglas has been big for them. I like the

2881
02:16:51,840 --> 02:16:52,640
Speaker 2: Bills Tomorrow night.

2882
02:16:53,040 --> 02:16:57,359
Speaker 5: I do too, actually, And Miami is also just limping

2883
02:16:57,400 --> 02:17:01,240
Speaker 5: into this game, right, like the injuries are smart special defense.

2884
02:17:00,959 --> 02:17:03,480
Speaker 4: Right, yeah, And I just don't know.

2885
02:17:03,920 --> 02:17:06,119
Speaker 5: So often by the time you get to the playoffs healthy,

2886
02:17:06,240 --> 02:17:08,840
Speaker 5: his team wins and it feels like the wheels have

2887
02:17:08,920 --> 02:17:11,520
Speaker 5: fallen off on that. For the Dolphins, it's it's hard

2888
02:17:11,560 --> 02:17:13,400
Speaker 5: to figure out how they're going to manage the injuries

2889
02:17:13,400 --> 02:17:15,160
Speaker 5: going into the playoffs. There's even a part of me,

2890
02:17:15,240 --> 02:17:16,959
Speaker 5: I know this is ludicrous, they would never do this,

2891
02:17:17,320 --> 02:17:19,280
Speaker 5: but there's a part of me that that just wonders

2892
02:17:19,280 --> 02:17:21,280
Speaker 5: if I was sitting there, if I just sit a

2893
02:17:21,320 --> 02:17:24,000
Speaker 5: bunch of guys like, hey, well, we're gonna play next

2894
02:17:24,080 --> 02:17:26,760
Speaker 5: week either way, I'd rather play in the wild card

2895
02:17:26,800 --> 02:17:30,320
Speaker 5: healthy than play at home and be decimated. And right

2896
02:17:30,360 --> 02:17:32,560
Speaker 5: now that the injuries are just too much, they're stacked

2897
02:17:32,600 --> 02:17:33,440
Speaker 5: up against the Dolphins.

2898
02:17:33,440 --> 02:17:35,160
Speaker 1: You stole the words right out of my mouth. Fit. See,

2899
02:17:35,160 --> 02:17:37,160
Speaker 1: I would sit everybody and not even worry about winning

2900
02:17:37,160 --> 02:17:39,440
Speaker 1: the division championship. You've already made the playoffs. Let's get

2901
02:17:39,480 --> 02:17:42,720
Speaker 1: as healthy as you possibly can. Losing Bradley Chubb is huge,

2902
02:17:43,120 --> 02:17:44,959
Speaker 1: is a huge loss. The fact that he's out for

2903
02:17:45,200 --> 02:17:48,080
Speaker 1: however long this playoff run is for them. But these

2904
02:17:48,160 --> 02:17:51,000
Speaker 1: defense I've been playing so well the last month and

2905
02:17:51,040 --> 02:17:53,480
Speaker 1: to lose one of the biggest reasons for that turnaround

2906
02:17:54,360 --> 02:17:56,440
Speaker 1: is a hard one. And Xavian Howard's out too, So

2907
02:17:56,600 --> 02:17:58,640
Speaker 1: if those two guys are gonna be out in this game.

2908
02:17:58,800 --> 02:18:01,080
Speaker 1: We think Buffalo is gonna come in obviously with everything

2909
02:18:01,080 --> 02:18:03,480
Speaker 1: to play for. If I'm Miami, I don't even risk it.

2910
02:18:03,520 --> 02:18:05,480
Speaker 1: I'd sit most dirt, sit Waddle all the guys who

2911
02:18:05,520 --> 02:18:08,680
Speaker 1: are questionable, and just raise the white flag on this one.

2912
02:18:08,680 --> 02:18:11,840
Speaker 2: I'm playing yeah, because to your point, you gotta have

2913
02:18:12,080 --> 02:18:13,640
Speaker 2: Waddle and Tyreek healthy.

2914
02:18:13,840 --> 02:18:16,160
Speaker 3: Yes, right, like you got it, dude, and then Tyreek

2915
02:18:16,200 --> 02:18:16,800
Speaker 3: k went through.

2916
02:18:17,120 --> 02:18:20,840
Speaker 2: It's an awful thing with the house, the fire to kill,

2917
02:18:20,879 --> 02:18:23,480
Speaker 2: with the lighter and all that stuff. So like you

2918
02:18:23,600 --> 02:18:27,880
Speaker 2: want you just want those guys to be healthy next week,

2919
02:18:28,840 --> 02:18:32,440
Speaker 2: and you know, and they go at it because look,

2920
02:18:32,680 --> 02:18:36,280
Speaker 2: with those two healthy, you could beat almost anybody, no doubt.

2921
02:18:37,160 --> 02:18:39,000
Speaker 3: So think you just got to play.

2922
02:18:40,600 --> 02:18:40,800
Speaker 1: Yeah.

2923
02:18:40,920 --> 02:18:43,040
Speaker 5: It's by the way I said it earlier, I'll say

2924
02:18:43,040 --> 02:18:46,320
Speaker 5: it again, the entire AFC is rooting it against Buffalo

2925
02:18:46,400 --> 02:18:47,800
Speaker 5: in this game. Like you just don't want to have

2926
02:18:47,840 --> 02:18:50,280
Speaker 5: to go to Buffalo for a playoff game. It's such

2927
02:18:50,280 --> 02:18:53,600
Speaker 5: a variable and it's gonna be wild. We'll know by

2928
02:18:53,640 --> 02:18:56,400
Speaker 5: the time that game kicks off if it's winner or

2929
02:18:56,400 --> 02:18:59,039
Speaker 5: go home for the Bills, which is also just an

2930
02:18:59,040 --> 02:19:02,280
Speaker 5: insane scenario, they could end up with the second seater

2931
02:19:02,320 --> 02:19:03,560
Speaker 5: out of the playoffs all together.

2932
02:19:03,920 --> 02:19:08,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, what do we think of the Chiefs once again? Offensively?

2933
02:19:09,800 --> 02:19:12,640
Speaker 1: Not much of them, to be honest, this struggle well

2934
02:19:12,920 --> 02:19:16,000
Speaker 1: live it off their defense. It's really hard to flip

2935
02:19:16,040 --> 02:19:19,320
Speaker 1: a switch all of a sudden in the postseason. So

2936
02:19:19,440 --> 02:19:21,640
Speaker 1: I as much as I love Patrick Mahomes, it's hard

2937
02:19:21,640 --> 02:19:23,920
Speaker 1: for me to imagine that all of a sudden, you know,

2938
02:19:24,040 --> 02:19:26,080
Speaker 1: Tony and all these guys are gonna start making catches

2939
02:19:26,120 --> 02:19:27,879
Speaker 1: and the offense is going to light it up. And

2940
02:19:27,920 --> 02:19:30,080
Speaker 1: as good as the defense have been, it's shown some leaks.

2941
02:19:30,440 --> 02:19:31,800
Speaker 1: I mean, the fact that the Raiders were able to

2942
02:19:31,840 --> 02:19:33,920
Speaker 1: run down their throat and close out that game in

2943
02:19:34,000 --> 02:19:37,320
Speaker 1: Kansas City on Christmas says a lot. That defense has

2944
02:19:37,320 --> 02:19:39,600
Speaker 1: a lot on the shoulders and it's good, but it

2945
02:19:39,680 --> 02:19:42,800
Speaker 1: definitely has some holes. So I'm not confident in Kansas

2946
02:19:42,800 --> 02:19:43,280
Speaker 1: City at all.

2947
02:19:43,520 --> 02:19:45,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, Kansas City, by the way, is who they are

2948
02:19:46,480 --> 02:19:50,440
Speaker 5: and happen all year like this. We've put so much

2949
02:19:50,520 --> 02:19:52,800
Speaker 5: emphasis in who Kansas City has been for a generation

2950
02:19:52,959 --> 02:19:55,040
Speaker 5: at this point, it feels like for five years at

2951
02:19:55,040 --> 02:19:57,320
Speaker 5: this point, like we put so much emphasis on who.

2952
02:19:57,200 --> 02:19:58,400
Speaker 4: The Chiefs usually are.

2953
02:19:58,720 --> 02:20:01,359
Speaker 5: It's okay to admit that she usually can fix everything

2954
02:20:01,680 --> 02:20:03,920
Speaker 5: while also admitting that right now the Chiefs are broken

2955
02:20:04,080 --> 02:20:06,959
Speaker 5: and they just for who Kansas City is. I know

2956
02:20:07,000 --> 02:20:09,240
Speaker 5: they sit with ten wins right now, they are broken

2957
02:20:09,240 --> 02:20:11,760
Speaker 5: as a football team. They're going to make the playoffs.

2958
02:20:11,959 --> 02:20:14,119
Speaker 5: That's great. I don't know that I would favor them

2959
02:20:14,120 --> 02:20:16,119
Speaker 5: in almost any playoff game in the first round.

2960
02:20:16,400 --> 02:20:18,320
Speaker 2: I mean, the only thing they need to do is, oh, well,

2961
02:20:18,320 --> 02:20:20,000
Speaker 2: the thing they need to do is become a power

2962
02:20:20,080 --> 02:20:22,879
Speaker 2: running team. They're gonna have to They're gonna have to

2963
02:20:23,240 --> 02:20:26,600
Speaker 2: let pitcheck o and then Andy has to get really creative.

2964
02:20:26,800 --> 02:20:27,520
Speaker 3: That's hard to do.

2965
02:20:27,600 --> 02:20:30,000
Speaker 1: And the you know, in week eighteen or week you know,

2966
02:20:30,040 --> 02:20:32,320
Speaker 1: the first week of the postseason, well the Bills kind.

2967
02:20:32,160 --> 02:20:34,440
Speaker 3: Of made the Bills did that transformation a little bit.

2968
02:20:34,720 --> 02:20:36,920
Speaker 1: Showing that they have the ability to do it. But

2969
02:20:37,360 --> 02:20:39,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if Kansas and Kansas City's offensive line

2970
02:20:39,560 --> 02:20:40,879
Speaker 1: isn't that great to.

2971
02:20:40,840 --> 02:20:43,800
Speaker 2: Help them lost in the whole thing the receivers and

2972
02:20:43,879 --> 02:20:47,880
Speaker 2: dropping pants is replacing both tackles. Yeah, really, what got

2973
02:20:47,920 --> 02:20:48,680
Speaker 2: Andy this year?

2974
02:20:48,760 --> 02:20:49,080
Speaker 1: Sure?

2975
02:20:49,600 --> 02:20:53,360
Speaker 2: You know, absolutely all right, we'll come right back, and

2976

2990
02:21:49,879 --> 02:21:52,039
Speaker 4: Oh my god, that's better than Houston.

2991
02:21:52,360 --> 02:21:55,800

2992

2994
02:22:01,600 --> 02:22:05,800
Speaker 2: and you deserve it. That's awesome. Uh, let's get let's

2995
02:22:05,800 --> 02:22:09,640
Speaker 2: get right to it. The you are mister Michigan. You

2996
02:22:09,720 --> 02:22:13,160
Speaker 2: went to Michigan. You are a huge Michigan fan.

2997
02:22:14,080 --> 02:22:14,360
Speaker 5: Uh.

2998
02:22:14,800 --> 02:22:17,520
Speaker 3: Most Michigan games. I think you're spot on.

2999
02:22:17,600 --> 02:22:19,959
Speaker 2: You were spot on last week you said it would

3000
02:22:19,959 --> 02:22:22,920
Speaker 2: be that the game you said Michigan would win a

3001
02:22:22,920 --> 02:22:27,440
Speaker 2: close one. This is an interesting one with Washington and

3002
02:22:27,600 --> 02:22:32,320
Speaker 2: the offensive threat the Huskies have with Panics and their receivers.

3003
02:22:32,879 --> 02:22:33,959
Speaker 1: How do you who you got?

3004
02:22:35,680 --> 02:22:38,439
Speaker 7: You know if you look, I'll be honest, that's interesting.

3005
02:22:38,800 --> 02:22:43,720
Speaker 7: I think what happens is people get certain people get

3006
02:22:43,760 --> 02:22:47,800
Speaker 7: caught up in their power ratings, like from what a

3007
02:22:47,879 --> 02:22:51,040
Speaker 7: team was before the year, and sometimes it just doesn't

3008
02:22:51,160 --> 02:22:55,840
Speaker 7: catch up. And in my opinion, Washington guys, their power

3009
02:22:55,920 --> 02:22:58,600
Speaker 7: rating hasn't caught up. They had a tough sketch stretch

3010
02:22:59,240 --> 02:23:01,160
Speaker 7: when they were not playing well down the end of

3011
02:23:01,200 --> 02:23:03,119
Speaker 7: the year, a little bit when they had some injuries

3012
02:23:03,120 --> 02:23:05,440
Speaker 7: to their wide receivers. Pennis was a little banged up.

3013
02:23:06,440 --> 02:23:09,720
Speaker 7: I think this line is way too high, I really do.

3014
02:23:10,120 --> 02:23:11,959
Speaker 7: Michigan has not had to face a team like this.

3015
02:23:12,440 --> 02:23:14,320
Speaker 7: I don't think there's many teams like this, just in general,

3016
02:23:14,400 --> 02:23:18,600
Speaker 7: that the passing game that Washington has. I kind of

3017
02:23:18,600 --> 02:23:22,200
Speaker 7: thought Washington would beat Texas and I think this can

3018
02:23:22,320 --> 02:23:27,280
Speaker 7: be a really hard game for Michigan. Anthony and the

3019
02:23:27,320 --> 02:23:30,280
Speaker 7: only way I can look it's taking the underdoalkofskies. I

3020
02:23:30,280 --> 02:23:33,400
Speaker 7: think this games can be close. Again. I lean here

3021
02:23:33,440 --> 02:23:37,800
Speaker 7: slightly to Michigan winning the game, but with the four

3022
02:23:37,800 --> 02:23:39,760
Speaker 7: and a half points spread. The only way I could

3023
02:23:39,800 --> 02:23:43,160
Speaker 7: look at the underdoalkofski is because I really do respect

3024
02:23:43,680 --> 02:23:46,360
Speaker 7: the passing offense quite a bit. I will say this

3025
02:23:46,440 --> 02:23:49,920
Speaker 7: from the line of scrimmage point of view. Michigan really

3026
02:23:49,959 --> 02:23:53,200
Speaker 7: could have their way. We saw they dominated offense Alabama's

3027
02:23:53,200 --> 02:23:58,080
Speaker 7: offensive line. Michigan again, I think there's a good chances

3028
02:23:58,080 --> 02:24:01,600
Speaker 7: as Kotar balls last game, and I think Michigan will

3029
02:24:01,600 --> 02:24:04,840
Speaker 7: have a lot of success offensively against the Washington defense.

3030
02:24:04,840 --> 02:24:07,600
Speaker 7: This is so great. I think games in the pass

3031
02:24:07,600 --> 02:24:11,119
Speaker 7: where dynamic offenses like this. You know with Sam Bradford

3032
02:24:11,120 --> 02:24:13,920
Speaker 7: going way back in the day with Oklahoma, they faced

3033
02:24:13,920 --> 02:24:16,080
Speaker 7: a good defense in Florida, then boom, they couldn't score.

3034
02:24:16,080 --> 02:24:17,320
Speaker 7: I don't think that's we're going to see though. I

3035
02:24:17,360 --> 02:24:22,640
Speaker 7: think Washington will have success against Michigan's defense enough successful least.

3036
02:24:22,640 --> 02:24:24,800
Speaker 7: I think it's gives to be close. Think Michigan went

3037
02:24:24,879 --> 02:24:26,800
Speaker 7: the close one lean over as well.

3038
02:24:27,440 --> 02:24:28,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's where I was going to go with you.

3039
02:24:28,720 --> 02:24:30,680
Speaker 5: Next, my friend is like just thinking about the over

3040
02:24:30,760 --> 02:24:32,840
Speaker 5: on this because it feels like points are just going

3041
02:24:32,920 --> 02:24:35,160
Speaker 5: to be galory. I'm not sure either side can score

3042
02:24:35,200 --> 02:24:36,119
Speaker 5: against either side.

3043
02:24:36,160 --> 02:24:38,840
Speaker 4: So I feel pretty confident on the over. You feel

3044
02:24:38,840 --> 02:24:39,560
Speaker 4: in the same way.

3045
02:24:39,360 --> 02:24:45,960
Speaker 7: Then, because listen, yeah, I think that Michigan really should

3046
02:24:46,120 --> 02:24:48,480
Speaker 7: have a lot of success offensively against Washington.

3047
02:24:48,520 --> 02:24:48,800
Speaker 3: I do.

3048
02:24:48,879 --> 02:24:51,920
Speaker 7: I would be very surprised if Michigan does not score

3049
02:24:52,720 --> 02:24:56,640
Speaker 7: into the thirties in this game. I would and Washington again,

3050
02:24:56,760 --> 02:25:00,200
Speaker 7: like it's hard to hold this Washington team in to

3051
02:25:01,400 --> 02:25:04,200
Speaker 7: less than thirty as well, just for how dynamic they've been,

3052
02:25:04,240 --> 02:25:07,040
Speaker 7: how great they've been. And I think Penis is a winner.

3053
02:25:07,160 --> 02:25:09,480
Speaker 7: Just going on a side note from the where he's

3054
02:25:09,480 --> 02:25:11,280
Speaker 7: going to be drafted, Like, I don't know why he's

3055
02:25:11,320 --> 02:25:13,480
Speaker 7: not getting more love.

3056
02:25:13,720 --> 02:25:14,440
Speaker 3: I love that kid.

3057
02:25:14,560 --> 02:25:18,080
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, like I think he's again. I don't know. Look,

3058
02:25:18,080 --> 02:25:20,800
Speaker 7: we'll see all it plays out, but I think Pennis,

3059
02:25:21,240 --> 02:25:24,440
Speaker 7: you know, I just you know, I happen to like

3060
02:25:24,520 --> 02:25:28,600
Speaker 7: him very very much. But anyway, fifty six is in total,

3061
02:25:29,120 --> 02:25:31,480
Speaker 7: I definitely lean to the over because I think Michigan's

3062
02:25:31,480 --> 02:25:33,400
Speaker 7: going to score over thirty. And they score over thirty,

3063
02:25:33,840 --> 02:25:35,720
Speaker 7: you know, then that means Brian Washington's only you need

3064
02:25:35,720 --> 02:25:38,640
Speaker 7: to score in the mid twenties, and I think Washington

3065
02:25:38,640 --> 02:25:39,560
Speaker 7: definitely will do that.

3066
02:25:40,160 --> 02:25:43,320
Speaker 2: All right, So let me ask you as we kind

3067
02:25:43,320 --> 02:25:47,600
Speaker 2: of move on tomorrow, Week eight today, Week eighteen. NFL,

3068
02:25:48,720 --> 02:25:50,800
Speaker 2: how do people get a hold of you? I'm sure

3069
02:25:50,920 --> 02:25:54,640
Speaker 2: if people want to playoffs and the whole thing. And NBA,

3070
02:25:54,920 --> 02:25:59,160
Speaker 2: I mean, your record is ridiculous, and I've seen it.

3071
02:25:59,480 --> 02:26:01,680
Speaker 3: I've seen it. It's unbelievable.

3072
02:26:02,520 --> 02:26:06,280
Speaker 7: Yeah, if the Brad's Best bets on Twitter, Brad's best

3073
02:26:06,360 --> 02:26:09,879
Speaker 7: bets on Twitter right now, six hundred and sixty wins

3074
02:26:09,879 --> 02:26:12,640
Speaker 7: one or ninety eight losses, something about ninety seven units.

3075
02:26:12,920 --> 02:26:15,720
Speaker 7: Ridiculously And if I do tip my cap to myself

3076
02:26:16,480 --> 02:26:19,360
Speaker 7: winning around fifty seven percent. No one in the industry

3077
02:26:19,400 --> 02:26:21,880
Speaker 7: is winning, has a winning percentage. But I know if

3078
02:26:22,200 --> 02:26:24,440
Speaker 7: anywhere in the United States as high as mine is

3079
02:26:24,520 --> 02:26:27,879
Speaker 7: right now, and you know, right on Brad's Bets bets

3080
02:26:27,920 --> 02:26:30,240
Speaker 7: on Twitter, I'm betting one unit per game, and in

3081
02:26:30,280 --> 02:26:33,359
Speaker 7: four months time, you're up almost one hundred units. Uh,

3082
02:26:33,600 --> 02:26:37,640
Speaker 7: that's pretty spectacular. And look, yeah, you get all my

3083
02:26:37,720 --> 02:26:40,320
Speaker 7: futures too, you get uh, and it's funny. I've gotten

3084
02:26:40,360 --> 02:26:42,720
Speaker 7: some bad luck with some of these futures. Anthony had

3085
02:26:42,800 --> 02:26:45,120
Speaker 7: brock Perty MVP ticket where he was a favorite at

3086
02:26:45,160 --> 02:26:48,480
Speaker 7: sixteen to one. Uh and I had a real chance

3087
02:26:48,560 --> 02:26:51,199
Speaker 7: to you know, that came down to that that Ravens game.

3088
02:26:51,240 --> 02:26:54,039
Speaker 7: But you get all my futures, which usually are amazing,

3089
02:26:54,160 --> 02:26:57,080
Speaker 7: and you get all my props, all my bets, everything

3090
02:26:57,440 --> 02:26:59,440
Speaker 7: on Brad's bets bets. Just go on Twitter and you

3091
02:26:59,480 --> 02:27:02,600
Speaker 7: click on it. But you know in again, you know, zamthy,

3092
02:27:02,640 --> 02:27:05,360
Speaker 7: I worked my butt off doing this. So this is

3093
02:27:05,520 --> 02:27:09,240
Speaker 7: my life. So I'm in the Bahamas. I gotta, I gotta,

3094
02:27:09,280 --> 02:27:11,080
Speaker 7: I getta. I have to keep winning to get going

3095
02:27:11,120 --> 02:27:11,760
Speaker 7: on these trips.

3096
02:27:11,840 --> 02:27:12,440
Speaker 1: That's right.

3097
02:27:12,959 --> 02:27:13,480
Speaker 3: I like it.

3098
02:27:13,560 --> 02:27:15,640
Speaker 1: I like it. Well, you want to try to send

3099
02:27:15,720 --> 02:27:16,920
Speaker 1: us to Bahamas.

3100
02:27:17,840 --> 02:27:22,720
Speaker 2: You came close the last couple of weeks. What do

3101
02:27:22,760 --> 02:27:27,160
Speaker 2: you got? What do you got anything today? Today's games?

3102
02:27:27,360 --> 02:27:27,520
Speaker 8: Yeah?

3103
02:27:27,560 --> 02:27:27,760
Speaker 3: I do.

3104
02:27:27,959 --> 02:27:29,520
Speaker 7: I do something today. And I want to tell you

3105
02:27:29,480 --> 02:27:33,600
Speaker 7: the interesting thing that people and again most people don't realize,

3106
02:27:33,959 --> 02:27:39,200
Speaker 7: but you know when people that these games on the

3107
02:27:39,320 --> 02:27:42,720
Speaker 7: last week, they're usually like so and so needs to win,

3108
02:27:42,760 --> 02:27:44,800
Speaker 7: the other team doesn't need the game, and they take

3109
02:27:44,879 --> 02:27:48,480
Speaker 7: the other team. Listen to this. In the last since

3110
02:27:48,520 --> 02:27:52,880
Speaker 7: nineteen ninety. Okay, teams in the last few weeks that

3111
02:27:54,040 --> 02:27:56,840
Speaker 7: need to win to make the playoffs versus teams that

3112
02:27:57,440 --> 02:28:00,000
Speaker 7: don't have anything to play for. Team has nothing to

3113
02:28:00,080 --> 02:28:03,920
Speaker 7: play for. One hundred wins, sixty four losses, four ties.

3114
02:28:05,240 --> 02:28:08,600
Speaker 7: The team is no, quote unquote no. Because what happens

3115
02:28:08,680 --> 02:28:13,320
Speaker 7: is these lines get over compensated. And there's four games

3116
02:28:13,320 --> 02:28:16,720
Speaker 7: this week that do fit that criteria. Well, one of

3117
02:28:16,760 --> 02:28:18,720
Speaker 7: them that I don't think technically, I don't know if

3118
02:28:18,720 --> 02:28:20,720
Speaker 7: it technically fits the I don't know if the team

3119
02:28:20,760 --> 02:28:22,560
Speaker 7: has nothing to play for. It it's actually you know

3120
02:28:22,560 --> 02:28:27,039
Speaker 7: it does. Is Baltimore against Pittsburgh. I was able to

3121
02:28:27,040 --> 02:28:30,760
Speaker 7: get four, and for my clients, it's still at three.

3122
02:28:31,320 --> 02:28:33,000
Speaker 7: Look when this line came out, I said, Fly would

3123
02:28:33,000 --> 02:28:36,160
Speaker 7: be Techham. Baltimo would be laying double digits in this

3124
02:28:36,200 --> 02:28:40,039
Speaker 7: team if they were playing their players is Lamar Jackson

3125
02:28:40,200 --> 02:28:43,920
Speaker 7: and a couple other starters worth like fourteen points. I'm

3126
02:28:43,920 --> 02:28:46,400
Speaker 7: gonna say no, I don't think they're worth that much.

3127
02:28:46,480 --> 02:28:49,960
Speaker 7: These games are always tight anyway. To me, the backup

3128
02:28:50,040 --> 02:28:53,959
Speaker 7: quarterback is a decent backup. You know, I've always liked him.

3129
02:28:53,959 --> 02:28:59,520
Speaker 7: I've always thought Huntley is serviceable. I know pittsburghquartericwoud has

3130
02:28:59,560 --> 02:29:02,760
Speaker 7: to win in rule I played, okay, but I bet Baltimore.

3131
02:29:02,800 --> 02:29:04,160
Speaker 7: I think it's you know, I kind of thought that

3132
02:29:04,160 --> 02:29:07,400
Speaker 7: game should be closer to pick. That's one game other

3133
02:29:07,440 --> 02:29:10,480
Speaker 7: games admit their criteria is and FYI that you know,

3134
02:29:11,600 --> 02:29:15,160
Speaker 7: Seattle against Arizona you can get three. I think that's

3135
02:29:15,160 --> 02:29:18,640
Speaker 7: a fifty to fifty game. I do give me Arizona

3136
02:29:18,680 --> 02:29:22,480
Speaker 7: getting three afty we saw them absolutely, you want to

3137
02:29:22,520 --> 02:29:26,840
Speaker 7: talk about it. They punt against the Eagles. I know, no,

3138
02:29:27,000 --> 02:29:31,160
Speaker 7: they I don't think they did. I think that's fifty games.

3139
02:29:31,600 --> 02:29:33,680
Speaker 7: I think that's a fifty to fifty game. You want

3140
02:29:33,720 --> 02:29:35,960
Speaker 7: to give me three points with the Arizona A I'll

3141
02:29:35,959 --> 02:29:38,400
Speaker 7: take it all day long against the Seattle team who's

3142
02:29:38,400 --> 02:29:42,800
Speaker 7: been very disappointing all year, and then other games that

3143
02:29:42,840 --> 02:29:46,160
Speaker 7: fit their criteria that you know, the quoteunquote motivation factor,

3144
02:29:46,480 --> 02:29:50,720
Speaker 7: Carolina going against a Tampa Bay team that clearly needs

3145
02:29:50,720 --> 02:29:52,880
Speaker 7: to win the game. Couldn't quite get myself to bet

3146
02:29:52,920 --> 02:29:56,160
Speaker 7: that one. But you know again that the Carolina doesn't

3147
02:29:56,160 --> 02:29:58,879
Speaker 7: need the game him does, you know, But they're baking

3148
02:29:58,920 --> 02:30:01,119
Speaker 7: that into the line where you're probably getting a point

3149
02:30:01,120 --> 02:30:05,320
Speaker 7: and a half from value extra by taking Carolina, and

3150
02:30:05,680 --> 02:30:07,360
Speaker 7: that would be a little I'll give you those games.

3151
02:30:07,400 --> 02:30:10,880
Speaker 7: I like, I'm gonna take New England laying two and

3152
02:30:10,920 --> 02:30:14,360
Speaker 7: a half points, guys against the Jets. If you look

3153
02:30:14,400 --> 02:30:16,800
Speaker 7: at what New England's done down the fire last seven

3154
02:30:16,840 --> 02:30:19,520
Speaker 7: eight games, every one of their games has either been

3155
02:30:19,560 --> 02:30:24,400
Speaker 7: a win or a very very razor in tight loss.

3156
02:30:24,600 --> 02:30:26,440
Speaker 7: The Jets have been blown out five times in the

3157
02:30:26,520 --> 02:30:30,600
Speaker 7: last eight games, probably Belichick's last game sim me a

3158
02:30:30,640 --> 02:30:32,640
Speaker 7: low scoring game. Obviously not a ton of points, and

3159
02:30:32,680 --> 02:30:34,280
Speaker 7: I know it's tough toly any points in a low

3160
02:30:34,280 --> 02:30:37,240
Speaker 7: scoring game, but I did bet New England. I think

3161
02:30:37,240 --> 02:30:40,160
Speaker 7: they win like a twenty to three kind of game

3162
02:30:40,280 --> 02:30:42,480
Speaker 7: or something like that, where I just think I'm gonna

3163
02:30:42,520 --> 02:30:45,440
Speaker 7: get a much better effort from them. Then i'd trust

3164
02:30:45,480 --> 02:30:47,200
Speaker 7: out of the Jets. And I know it's a quote

3165
02:30:47,280 --> 02:30:50,680
Speaker 7: unquote hold your nose game, but I like the way

3166
02:30:50,680 --> 02:30:54,200
Speaker 7: New England's playing, relatively speaking, guys, Another one, I like,

3167
02:30:54,760 --> 02:30:59,440
Speaker 7: we've seen coach McVeigh of the Rams treat three season

3168
02:31:01,360 --> 02:31:04,920
Speaker 7: with such a disdain, with such a I don't care

3169
02:31:04,959 --> 02:31:08,800
Speaker 7: what happened. They lose every game by fifty. You know,

3170
02:31:08,840 --> 02:31:10,840
Speaker 7: I've read a lot of quotes from Shanahan in the past.

3171
02:31:10,879 --> 02:31:13,240
Speaker 7: Now he isn't starting Purdy, but he talked about how

3172
02:31:13,600 --> 02:31:16,440
Speaker 7: with his dad, and he talked about with Peyton Manning

3173
02:31:16,440 --> 02:31:18,720
Speaker 7: with the Colts, how would they arrest the guys it

3174
02:31:18,879 --> 02:31:21,320
Speaker 7: hurt them in the playoffs. Well, I know he's resting

3175
02:31:21,360 --> 02:31:24,480
Speaker 7: some guys like McCafferty to injury and Purdy, who's also

3176
02:31:24,480 --> 02:31:26,280
Speaker 7: a little banged up. I think we'll see a lot

3177
02:31:26,320 --> 02:31:29,600
Speaker 7: more starters from San Francisco against our friend Anthony Carson wins.

3178
02:31:30,920 --> 02:31:33,160
Speaker 7: I think Chrisco wins this game by at least a touchdown.

3179
02:31:33,520 --> 02:31:35,879
Speaker 7: I do, I don't. I think Pukuo cool at his

3180
02:31:36,440 --> 02:31:38,680
Speaker 7: whatever he needs yardage wise, and then the Rams will

3181
02:31:38,720 --> 02:31:41,959
Speaker 7: shut it down. So that's another game that I happen

3182
02:31:42,000 --> 02:31:44,480
Speaker 7: to like, h and I know it's not a quote unquote,

3183
02:31:45,120 --> 02:31:47,120
Speaker 7: you know, one of the top games, but it's the

3184
02:31:47,160 --> 02:31:50,280
Speaker 7: game I like this week where I think that I

3185
02:31:50,360 --> 02:31:53,080
Speaker 7: just I don't trust McVeigh at all and those kind

3186
02:31:53,080 --> 02:31:54,840
Speaker 7: of spots, those kind of games, and not another game

3187
02:31:54,840 --> 02:31:58,400
Speaker 7: which I was just really off on the line. I

3188
02:31:58,440 --> 02:32:02,320
Speaker 7: really thought, guys that Myami Buffalo game would be close

3189
02:32:02,360 --> 02:32:05,040
Speaker 7: through a pick. Let's think last week they were laying

3190
02:32:05,080 --> 02:32:10,800
Speaker 7: three points uh baverage, laying three at home right against Miami.

3191
02:32:11,200 --> 02:32:15,160
Speaker 7: Now Buffalo, who's significantly worse, and I do mean significantly

3192
02:32:15,200 --> 02:32:20,280
Speaker 7: worse than Baltimore is laying three act Miami. And I

3193
02:32:20,280 --> 02:32:22,959
Speaker 7: know Miami has some injuries. Just think far too much

3194
02:32:22,959 --> 02:32:26,160
Speaker 7: of an overreaction there. I think that's gonna be a tight,

3195
02:32:26,240 --> 02:32:29,119
Speaker 7: close game. And I for one, don't like the way

3196
02:32:29,160 --> 02:32:31,840
Speaker 7: Buffalo is playing. Actually, I don't like the dude, trow Brady,

3197
02:32:32,040 --> 02:32:34,360
Speaker 7: let's run in the playoffense. I think you're taking the

3198
02:32:34,360 --> 02:32:37,000
Speaker 7: ball out of your best player's hands. And mark my words,

3199
02:32:37,120 --> 02:32:38,840
Speaker 7: this guy is there's gonna be a playoff game. They're

3200
02:32:38,879 --> 02:32:41,560
Speaker 7: losing twenty one, nothing like well we just kept running

3201
02:32:41,560 --> 02:32:43,720
Speaker 7: the ball, which I don't like the way this this

3202
02:32:43,840 --> 02:32:46,520
Speaker 7: Buffalo team has actually headed. They were detted, they were

3203
02:32:46,600 --> 02:32:49,840
Speaker 7: due for positive regression. Anyway, I think this run, run, run, run,

3204
02:32:49,920 --> 02:32:52,160
Speaker 7: run offense is only going to hurt some long term.

3205
02:32:52,480 --> 02:32:57,640
Speaker 3: A great stop as always, that's the luck.

3206

3235
02:34:29,440 --> 02:34:32,280
Speaker 2: it's great. I I'll be honest. You I root like

3236
02:34:32,400 --> 02:34:33,959
Speaker 2: hell for Washington.

3237
02:34:33,520 --> 02:34:35,920
Speaker 1: As am I Michael, you know me. I mean, like

3238
02:34:35,920 --> 02:34:38,240
Speaker 1: I said, this is the PAC twelve's last stand. Yeah,

3239
02:34:38,320 --> 02:34:40,960
Speaker 1: you imagine justice for them to win it. It really

3240
02:34:41,040 --> 02:34:43,640
Speaker 1: is for all the crap they've been through. Uh, listen

3241
02:34:43,640 --> 02:34:46,600
Speaker 1: to this whole ordeal Butcher in the TV deal, the

3242
02:34:46,640 --> 02:34:49,480
Speaker 1: commissioner not knowing as you know what from a hole

3243
02:34:49,520 --> 02:34:52,160
Speaker 1: in the wall and being the big reason why this

3244
02:34:52,200 --> 02:34:53,039
Speaker 1: thing is going down.

3245
02:34:53,800 --> 02:34:53,959
Speaker 7: Uh.

3246
02:34:54,040 --> 02:34:55,520
Speaker 1: I think it will be a great way for for

3247
02:34:55,560 --> 02:34:57,520
Speaker 1: the PAC twelve to go out to get a championship

3248
02:34:57,520 --> 02:34:59,800
Speaker 1: here in the fourteen playoff where they had been shut

3249
02:34:59,800 --> 02:35:01,280
Speaker 1: out for a long time.

3250
02:35:02,080 --> 02:35:06,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I agree, man, You're right. Justice, Justice all

3251
02:35:06,760 --> 02:35:09,600
Speaker 2: day long, says the Washington wins.

3252
02:35:09,640 --> 02:35:11,640
Speaker 1: And it's a classic matchup. It's like it reminds you

3253
02:35:11,680 --> 02:35:15,400
Speaker 1: of like rolls Bowls passed, Washington versus Michigan, the Big

3254
02:35:15,440 --> 02:35:20,520
Speaker 1: ten versus Pack Packed and Daddy have them all. Just

3255
02:35:20,600 --> 02:35:22,160
Speaker 1: a week later in Houston.

3256
02:35:22,400 --> 02:35:25,160
Speaker 3: I'd love to hear I would love to hear Keith Jackson.

3257
02:35:25,120 --> 02:35:30,959
Speaker 1: Called a another products.

3258
02:35:31,480 --> 02:35:39,400
Speaker 2: Only a year yard the vilely Wiley VU real quick,

3259
02:35:39,720 --> 02:35:45,240
Speaker 2: any chance there's a slip up in Washington, d C.

3260
02:35:45,920 --> 02:35:48,840
Speaker 2: On Sunday and the Cowboys do not win the division.

3261
02:35:49,320 --> 02:35:52,039
Speaker 1: Oh there's always a chance. Talking about the Dallas Cowboys

3262
02:35:52,080 --> 02:35:57,240
Speaker 1: here on the road, no doubt. Do I see it happening. No,

3263
02:35:58,160 --> 02:36:01,440
Speaker 1: But look, this happens almost every single year where there's

3264
02:36:01,440 --> 02:36:03,480
Speaker 1: a team that has everything to play for versus a

3265
02:36:03,520 --> 02:36:05,920
Speaker 1: team that has literally nothing to play for, and the

3266
02:36:05,959 --> 02:36:08,520
Speaker 1: team that has nothing to play for knocks them off,

3267
02:36:08,920 --> 02:36:11,760
Speaker 1: and really in convincing fashion. I mean, look, to a

3268
02:36:11,800 --> 02:36:14,360
Speaker 1: small degree, it wasn't everything, but that happened last week

3269
02:36:14,400 --> 02:36:17,520
Speaker 1: in Philly. He but Arizona Cardinal team that's playing out

3270
02:36:17,560 --> 02:36:19,720
Speaker 1: the string against the Eagles who basically help their own

3271
02:36:19,760 --> 02:36:21,880
Speaker 1: destiny in their hands to clinch clinch the AFC or

3272
02:36:21,920 --> 02:36:25,720
Speaker 1: the the NFC East, and they got dominated from start

3273
02:36:25,760 --> 02:36:29,080
Speaker 1: to finish. It's hard to explain. So there's absolutely a

3274
02:36:29,080 --> 02:36:30,640
Speaker 1: path for Washington to be able to do that.

3275
02:36:31,640 --> 02:36:33,760
Speaker 2: You have to tea Yeah, I'll tell you one thing, man,

3276
02:36:34,000 --> 02:36:35,680
Speaker 2: That Bears Packers games.

3277
02:36:35,480 --> 02:36:36,080
Speaker 3: Could be a good game.

3278
02:36:36,160 --> 02:36:39,840
Speaker 2: Yes, absolutely, because Chicago's the way Chicago's playing.

3279
02:36:40,520 --> 02:36:44,640
Speaker 3: They would love love to knock off Bag.

3280
02:36:44,720 --> 02:36:47,279
Speaker 1: But I'm telling you, you say, love who has played

3281
02:36:47,360 --> 02:36:50,160
Speaker 1: better at quarterback in the NFL than Jordan love for

3282
02:36:50,200 --> 02:36:53,120
Speaker 1: the last month. How about that kid, how he's turned

3283
02:36:53,160 --> 02:36:55,840
Speaker 1: the corner and out with people we're talking down about

3284
02:36:55,920 --> 02:36:57,400
Speaker 1: him in the first month, month and half of the

3285
02:36:57,440 --> 02:37:00,720
Speaker 1: season and rightfully so. But a lot that kid to

3286
02:37:00,760 --> 02:37:04,280
Speaker 1: be able to continue to develop, go through some growing pains, injuries,

3287
02:37:04,560 --> 02:37:07,600
Speaker 1: young talent at the receiver position. Now all of a

3288
02:37:07,640 --> 02:37:10,000
Speaker 1: sudden you look up and I know stats aren't everything,

3289
02:37:10,040 --> 02:37:12,960
Speaker 1: but his stats basically are better than Aaron Rodgers stats

3290
02:37:12,959 --> 02:37:14,280
Speaker 1: were when he was a first year starter.

3291
02:37:14,800 --> 02:37:17,880
Speaker 2: No, I mean, look, he's legit and just when you

3292
02:37:18,080 --> 02:37:19,840
Speaker 2: just watch him play, all you could do is just

3293
02:37:19,879 --> 02:37:22,800
Speaker 2: watch him play and you go, I love the work

3294
02:37:22,800 --> 02:37:26,240
Speaker 2: he's going. He's poised the whole thing. We were, You

3295
02:37:26,280 --> 02:37:28,040
Speaker 2: and I were high on him actually start the year,

3296
02:37:28,040 --> 02:37:31,400
Speaker 2: if we remember, we definitely were because I liked how

3297
02:37:31,400 --> 02:37:34,760
Speaker 2: he ended the season last year. The other guy, I

3298
02:37:34,920 --> 02:37:39,000
Speaker 2: tell you, man, I and I'm root for the kid

3299
02:37:39,400 --> 02:37:40,320
Speaker 2: is Fields.

3300
02:37:40,560 --> 02:37:43,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, because my own accounts.

3301
02:37:42,680 --> 02:37:44,720
Speaker 3: Well, Man, he's playing really well.

3302
02:37:44,800 --> 02:37:47,000
Speaker 1: He's playing as well as he possibly can to a

3303
02:37:47,000 --> 02:37:49,000
Speaker 1: certain I still think there's limitations to his game. He

3304
02:37:49,080 --> 02:37:52,000
Speaker 1: got one weapon though, yeah, and DJ Moore and he's

3305
02:37:52,040 --> 02:37:53,840
Speaker 1: wearing them out. And rightfully so, I would too.

3306
02:37:54,240 --> 02:37:58,120
Speaker 2: I mean, imagine if they get another receiver. I don't know,

3307
02:37:58,760 --> 02:38:02,119
Speaker 2: and I look at him like a man with one

3308
02:38:02,240 --> 02:38:04,680
Speaker 2: weapon to dude, dude's pulling out.

3309
02:38:04,840 --> 02:38:06,640
Speaker 1: I still think he takes a lot of sacks and

3310
02:38:06,680 --> 02:38:08,800
Speaker 1: he's not the most accurate. And then and look, he's

3311
02:38:08,800 --> 02:38:11,440
Speaker 1: still young, he's still developing. I think if with the

3312
02:38:11,520 --> 02:38:14,120
Speaker 1: right offensive coordinator or the right situation, he can be

3313
02:38:14,160 --> 02:38:16,080
Speaker 1: a solid starting quarterback. I don't think he'll ever be

3314
02:38:16,160 --> 02:38:18,200
Speaker 1: a star, but I think you can potentially win with

3315
02:38:18,280 --> 02:38:20,879
Speaker 1: him to some degree.

3316
02:38:19,640 --> 02:38:22,440
Speaker 3: I like him. I don't know what you know. I

3317
02:38:22,440 --> 02:38:23,480
Speaker 3: hear you, I listen.

3318
02:38:23,560 --> 02:38:26,160
Speaker 2: There's some flaws and some bugs that I see, but

3319
02:38:26,959 --> 02:38:28,920
Speaker 2: I think he can get a I think you can.

3320
02:38:29,160 --> 02:38:30,520
Speaker 3: I think you win with I'm with you, but I'm

3321
02:38:30,560 --> 02:38:32,080
Speaker 3: rooting for him. With him, And who are you watching?

3322
02:38:32,200 --> 02:38:34,400
Speaker 3: What are we watching? We always do that.

3323
02:38:34,879 --> 02:38:36,879
Speaker 1: Well, I mean I kind of have to watch. I

3324
02:38:36,920 --> 02:38:39,240
Speaker 1: have to watch my Raiders play off the string against Denver, Right,

3325
02:38:39,600 --> 02:38:41,240
Speaker 1: see if they see if they can lock up this

3326
02:38:41,280 --> 02:38:42,840
Speaker 1: saad coaching John for Antonio Pierce.

3327
02:38:43,440 --> 02:38:46,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'd love to see that happen. Man, same, right,

3328
02:38:46,480 --> 02:38:50,240
Speaker 2: he deserves it, he does, he really does. Hey, Shay
