33
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 2: Deman's So this this is our a little scheduling update.

34
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 2: This is our last live show until the new year.

35
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:11,519
Speaker 2: Next week we will have we will have new content,

36
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 2: but they won't be live shows. It will be somewhat

37
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 2: year end review. We will also on our social channels

38
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 2: put out my Bets, which once again had another losing week.

39
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 2: It's a rough season. There's no way around it. As

40
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 2: a gambling show, I just got to admit to it.

41
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 2: I'm running out of real estate to keep my streak

42
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 2: of profitable years alive. I am running out of real

43
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 2: estate to ever hit a five and zero. We don't

44
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 2: have a lot of time left With that said, the

45
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 2: last time we didn't do a gambling show Thanksgiving and

46
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,399
Speaker 2: I gave out the picks online, I did go four

47
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,799
Speaker 2: and one, So maybe the key is not overthinking it

48
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 2: putting them out right before the games kickoff and going

49
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 2: from there. Maybe that's helpful. Also, it probably was helpful

50
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 2: that last time we did that, we had two of

51
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 2: those picks were Thanksgiving Day games and I gave him

52
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 2: out Thanksgiving morning, so I had all the available information,

53
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 2: Like this week, what am I supposed to do with

54
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:13,919
Speaker 2: some of these games when we don't know so bucks Jags,

55
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 2: I don't know if the Prince is playing or not,

56
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:18,919
Speaker 2: and if he is playing, I don't know the forecast

57
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 2: because my guy, the Prince, really seems to trouble to

58
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 2: have trouble with the slippery football. So there's a lot

59
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 2: of balls in the air, if you will. But we

60
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 2: have a full show for you today. We're actually gonna

61
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 2: do a four segment show. We'll try to keep it

62
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 2: to the regular time. So before we get into the

63
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 2: start of the show, let's get into what missed the cut,

64
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 2: including maybe the best performance in the NBA this season,

65
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 2: Joel Embiid scoring fifty one against arguably the league's best team,

66
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 2: inarguably the league's best defense in the Minnesota Timberwolves. That's

67
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 2: not on the show. Well, oh wow, taking shots at

68
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 2: Joel Embiid. I mean, listen, and he does, and I

69
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 2: think the kids call it him Well, so listen, the

70
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 2: kids call that being a foul merchant or something. Here's

71
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 2: the thing about him falling. Joel Embiid was taught to

72
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 2: fall when he was dealing with all those lower body

73
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 2: injuries early in his career. Now it might sound counterintuitive,

74
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 2: but what the Sixers training staff and doctors said was

75
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 2: because he's so big that landing awkwardly is worse for

76
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 2: his feet, his ankles, his knees than just kind of

77
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 2: like slowly falling to the ground because it dissipates more force. Now,

78
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 2: maybe you can argue he's taken that to an extreme,

79
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 2: but that's on purpose. What they didn't want him to

80
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,279
Speaker 2: keep doing was, you know, landing hard and trying to

81
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 2: keep his balance. They told him basically, you know what

82
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 2: I mean, almost cartoonishly fall to the ground. Now he

83
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,040
Speaker 2: does get a lot of foul calls that you know,

84
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 2: I would wish the oldest player in the league who's

85
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 2: played seventy thousand minutes could get. But I guess it's

86
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 2: never gonna happen. CJ. Stroud probably not gonna play against

87
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 2: the Brown still dealing with the concussion, and Tommy Cutlets

88
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 2: makes an appearance at a pizza shop, and a lot

89
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 2: of this Tommy DeVito commentary has struck me as slightly

90
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 2: anti Italian or at least stereotypical, and I don't really

91
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 2: love it. Is you know, your favorite Italian American sports

92
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 2: media member demons. Let's get to the show.

93
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:30,280
Speaker 3: All right.

94
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 4: So Miami and the Cowboys they go ahead to head

95
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 4: this Sunday Christmas Eve. Dallas doesn't have a statement win

96
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 4: outside of going one and one with Philly, and Miami

97
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 4: hasn't beating hasn't beaten a winning team.

98
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 3: I think we've got a tweet for those watching.

99
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 4: On YouTube from you, but which one of these which

100
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 4: one of these teams? Would prove to be a Super

101
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 4: Bowl threat with a statement win. I don't know, I can't.

102
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 2: Oh, that's fine. So the tweets from NFL on CBS

103
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 2: Cowboys Dolphins be the first game in NFL history between

104
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 2: teams with twenty combined wins but one or fewer against

105
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 2: teams above five hundred. Cowboys one and three against teams

106
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 2: above five hundred, Dolphins zero to three against teams above

107
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 2: five hundred. So, before I answer the question, something on

108
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 2: the above five hundred stuff. It is noteworthy, it's slightly misleading.

109
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 2: So here's the question I would ask the audience. Will

110
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 2: you think the Cowboys are a far better team than

111
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 2: you think they are right now? If the Rams beat

112
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 2: the Saints tonight? The Rams beating the Saints should have

113
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,599
Speaker 2: no impact on what you think of the Cowboys, right

114
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 2: And let's go ahead and say, also, if Seattle beats

115
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,280
Speaker 2: the Titans this weekend, will you think the Cowboys are

116
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 2: a far better team than you think they are right now?

117
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 2: Probably not, But if those two things happen all of

118
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 2: a sudden, the Cowboys have three wins against teams above

119
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 2: five hundred. So the reason the Rams and the Seahawks

120
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:03,479
Speaker 2: are above five hundred is because the Cowboys beat them.

121
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 2: They're both seven and seven, and so I understand the oh,

122
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 2: you beat up on bottom feeder's critique. But two of

123
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 2: the Cowboys wins came against teams that I think are

124
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 2: going to be playoff teams potentially certainly the Rams, impossibly

125
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 2: the Seahawks, and right now those don't count as above

126
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 2: five hundred wins, but they might by the end of

127
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 2: the year. Now to the question about who proves to

128
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 2: be a Super Bowl threat with a statement win this week,

129
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 2: I think it's Dallas. I think Dallas has all the

130
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 2: makings of a legitimate Super Bowl contender. Now maybe it

131
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 2: won't matter because the Niners are just too good for everybody.

132
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 2: That seems to be what Vegas thinks. That's certainly what

133
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 2: the media thinks. Every NFL conversation seems to be polluted

134
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 2: by the fact that the vast majority of the media

135
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 2: seems to think the whole league is as you would say,

136
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 2: Demont's a mid or worse except for the Niners and

137
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 2: maybe the Ravens. It's like, the Niners are great, the

138
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 2: Ravens are potentially really good, and everyone else thinks because

139
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 2: when we talk about the Chiefs, the Cowboys, the Dolphins,

140
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 2: who are in my opinion, third, fourth fifth in most

141
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 2: people's power rankings. We only talk about what they're not

142
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 2: good at. So if we're only picking apart top you know,

143
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 2: teams that are consensus top five the other you know what,

144
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 2: let me change it. I think the media actually thinks

145
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 2: there's three good teams, one great team, the Niners, and

146
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 2: then two good teams, the Ravens and the Buffalo Bills.

147
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 2: The Buffalo Bills get more credit for their season, then

148
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 2: teams that have been consistently good all year get for theirs.

149
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 2: But that's you know, that is what it is now.

150
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 2: The Dolphins, I thought, had a really impressive win this

151
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 2: past week. I understand it was against the Jets, but

152
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 2: the way they did it and do it it without Tyreek.

153
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:07,959
Speaker 2: I'm also impressed by the media at large's ability to

154
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:14,559
Speaker 2: accurately and I think fairly watch Tua Tongue of Iloa

155
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 2: say he's good but probably not great, recognize the system

156
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:24,559
Speaker 2: about the exactly right, exactly right. It's amazing to me

157
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 2: that we can have and by the way, Tua this

158
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,839
Speaker 2: week did something perty has not been able to do,

159
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 2: which is play a game without one of his Avengers

160
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 2: and play great. We're yet to see that from Brock

161
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,439
Speaker 2: this year. But for some reason, I've got to deal

162
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 2: with Rock Party being an overwhelming favorite to win league

163
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 2: MVP and Tua, whose numbers aren't as good but they're

164
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 2: in the same ballpark, has just been totally dismissed as

165
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 2: a candidate, as he should be, by the way, because

166
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 2: people were like, oh, it's Tyreek. We see Tua do

167
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 2: it without Tyreek. Nobody cares. It's a weird thing going on.

168
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 2: With all that said, I think Dallas wins. Miami's in

169
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:05,200
Speaker 2: with a bunch of injuries. None of their their entire

170
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 2: offensive line miss practice yesterday. That seems like a problem.

171
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 2: We don't know if two is going to play, and

172
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 2: I think Miami is a good not great team. I

173
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 2: think Dallas can be a great team. And dating back

174
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 2: to December of twenty one, Dallas is nine to oh

175
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 2: with an average margin of victory of nearly twenty points

176
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 2: coming off a loss. So I like Dallas in this spot.

177
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:32,960
Speaker 2: All right, next, all right, So the Ravens are facing

178
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 2: off against the Niners. I think that's next Monday. Yeah,

179
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 2: what are you gonna do, buddy? That's Christmas Night, Who

180
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 2: are you rooting for? These are your two guys, this

181
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 2: is it, Brock and Lamar. But I mean you're a

182
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:49,319
Speaker 2: huge practice.

183
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 4: I just think you're unfair to me and I feel

184
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,559
Speaker 4: like I got a kpe for him sometimes. But uh okay,

185
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 4: But yeah, I think this will I think this will

186
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 4: be a good a good chance to see how we

187
00:10:59,200 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 4: match up against the Night.

188
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 3: I think it's scary.

189
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 4: I think if we stay within seven points, I'm happy.

190
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,439
Speaker 2: Oh wow, no faith in your Ravens.

191
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 4: No, it's it's I mean, LaVar is gonna be I

192
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 4: think it's gonna be forced to throw the ball this game,

193
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 4: and I would like to see him be forced to

194
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 4: throw the ball and see.

195
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 3: How it turns out.

196
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 4: I'm saying within seven to be modest, but I think

197
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 4: there's a chance they won the game. But I just

198
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:23,319
Speaker 4: haven't seen them face up against each other.

199
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 2: So so this is a weird spot for me because

200
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 2: I need the Niners to win. I'm gonna be Christmas

201
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 2: Night rooting for Brock party because I need the Ravens

202
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 2: to lose twice in the final three weeks for the

203
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 2: Chiefs to be over the over the Chiefs. Yeah, so

204
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 2: I need I need the Niner. I'm gonna be a

205
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 2: big Brock Party fan this weekend. I guess like my

206
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 2: best possible result would be somehow like a ten to

207
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:53,439
Speaker 2: three Niners victory where Party doesn't play well but the

208
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 2: Niners find a way to win. That would be for

209
00:11:56,080 --> 00:12:01,319
Speaker 2: my own take agenda, the best case scenario. I do

210
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 2: think that I I think the Ravens defense absolutely could

211
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 2: give the Niners some real trouble. With that said, this

212
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 2: is the Ravens going cross country to a Niners team

213
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 2: that is not only rolling, but fully healthy, and the

214
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 2: Ravens and I know, Demonse, maybe you agree with me.

215
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 2: I shouldn't say I know, because I don't know if

216
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 2: you agree or disagree with me on this. The Ravens,

217
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 2: despite the winning streak, have looked to me shaky the

218
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 2: last three weeks. I thought three weeks ago that Chargers game,

219
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 2: when the Chargers were just trying to give the game

220
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 2: away repeatedly, the fact that it was thirteen to ten

221
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter and the Ravens seemed like they

222
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 2: were ripe to lose. Then the Rams game goes to overtime.

223
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,679
Speaker 2: That was the worst defensive performance for the Ravens this year.

224
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 2: Their offense. Lamar was unbelievable in that game, and then

225
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 2: against in the Jags. The Jags could not have shot

226
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 2: themselves in the foot more. On every drive of the

227
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 2: first half, they move the ball, miss a field goal,

228
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:11,559
Speaker 2: they move the ball, miss a field goal, they move

229
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:13,839
Speaker 2: the ball, Trevor drops the ball, they move the ball,

230
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 2: they butcher the end of the half, and then despite

231
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,680
Speaker 2: all that, it's ten to seven midway through the third

232
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 2: and takes a couple one in particular really great Lamar

233
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,719
Speaker 2: Jackson plays for the Ravens to be able to get

234
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 2: some separation. So I understand both of these teams are

235
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 2: on winning streaks. The Niners winning streak, to me, has

236
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:41,560
Speaker 2: been more convincing than the Ravens winning streak. So I

237
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 2: do like the Niners in this spot. But I am

238
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,319
Speaker 2: very interested to see how Brock does against another one

239
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 2: of the league's best defenses. And I'm interested to see

240
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 2: how Christian McCaffrey does. But this is one of the

241
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 2: best games of the year. This is right now, the

242
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 2: one seed versus one seed. It is the super the

243
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 2: favorite Super Bowl matchup, and from a NFL intrigue perspective,

244
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 2: I would say this it's a bummer. If the Niners

245
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 2: blow out the Ravens. If the Niners just dog walk

246
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 2: the Ravens, They've already dog walked the Eagles, They've dogwalked

247
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 2: the Cowboys. If they annihilate the Ravens, then they're to

248
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 2: a degree to all. Let me tell you this much

249
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 2: right now, for neutral observers, or probably not neutral observers.

250
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 2: For people that don't want if the Niners crush the Ravens,

251
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 2: people that don't want the Niners to win the Super Bowl,

252
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 2: maybe you're a fan of a rival team or something,

253
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 2: you know who, they're all of a sudden gonna become

254
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 2: huge fans of the rest of the year the Chiefs.

255
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 2: If the Niners crush the Ravens, people are gonna the

256
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 2: only hope left for the league is gonna be that

257
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 2: the Chiefs offense starts clicking to go along with that defense.

258
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 2: It should be noted the only.

259
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 4: Thing can't the Chiefs can do it, given the way

260
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 4: the Chiefs season is gone.

261
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 2: But that's just me that well then so then it's nobody.

262
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 2: Well then it's nobody, demanse right, then then they'll just

263
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 2: think it's nobody, correct, I mean, if they've crushed the Cowboys.

264
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 2: They've crushed the Eagles, they've crushed the Ravens. I don't

265
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 2: know if there's anybody left and so, and maybe that's

266
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 2: the answer the oh yeah, Buffalo and so the the

267
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 2: other Oh, what I was trying to say was before

268
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 2: I was rudely interrupted, is that, uh, the only team

269
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 2: since the Niners got Christian McCaffrey, the only team to

270
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 2: beat them with a healthy McCaffrey, with like all of

271
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 2: their weapons in a game when the quarterback doesn't go

272
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 2: down was the Chiefs the first game they got McCaffrey.

273
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 2: When the Chiefs annihilated they've scored I think beat him

274
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 2: like forty two to thirty one or something early the

275
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 2: first game with McCaffrey last year. And so I think

276
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 2: it'll be a good game. I do think the Niners

277
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 2: will win. I think the Ravens, though, will equit themselves.

278
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 3: Well.

279
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 2: But this feels to me like the Ravens have been

280
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 2: flirting with the loss for a month and the Niners

281
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 2: have not been. So I like the Niners in this spot.

282
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 2: All right, next, all.

283
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 3: Right, fair enough.

284
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers is officially activated off injured reserve, but he's

285
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 4: not gonna be playing he's just gotten taken off of IR.

286
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 4: He just wants to build up chemistry with his teammates

287
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 4: while he's healing his achilles. Do you think this is

288
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 4: the last stunt by Aaron Rodgers in twenty twenty three,

289
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 4: or we're gonna hear from him again.

290
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 2: Well, we got ten days left, so I assume we'll

291
00:16:54,240 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 2: hear from him again. By the way, I've said enough

292
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 2: about Aaron. I've been right at every turn, and this

293
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,399
Speaker 2: isn't even a classic category two opinion. This is a

294
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 2: category one opinion. I was instantly correct, and I've been

295
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 2: correct every step of the way. It was one thing.

296
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:18,680
Speaker 2: This is more a media commentary. It was one thing

297
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:25,639
Speaker 2: for a lot of my colleagues to be credulous about

298
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 2: this idea that he was going to play this year.

299
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 2: It was, on its face ludicrous. You know. Shout out

300
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 2: while I criticize other media members, shout out to Melissa

301
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:44,679
Speaker 2: Stark and Sunday Night Football for not being credulous, because,

302
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 2: if you remember Week ten, he told Melissa Stark his

303
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 2: plan was to come back in mid December to be

304
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:58,639
Speaker 2: able to play, and NBC had that information and did

305
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,440
Speaker 2: not lead the show with it. It did not act

306
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 2: like it was a breaking news revelation and they just

307
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 2: kind of as a as an aside, set it mid

308
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 2: second quarter of the game because they knew this is nonsense.

309
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 2: I wish some other local and national media had taken

310
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 2: it as nonsense. I'm sure Jets fans wish the front

311
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:25,159
Speaker 2: office had taken it as nonsense, and then maybe they

312
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:29,919
Speaker 2: would have signed an actual backup quarterback rather than playcating Rogers' ego.

313
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 2: But set all that aside. What has been even more

314
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 2: maddening is in the last forty eight hours, I've got

315
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:43,679
Speaker 2: to listen to Ian Rapaport go on NFL Network and say, well, listen, guys,

316
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers did it. He accomplished what he said he

317
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:51,639
Speaker 2: was going to do. No, he bleeping didn't. And the

318
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 2: idea that we are now going to say, oh, unprecedented

319
00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 2: recovery based on what you don't think there have been

320
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:05,360
Speaker 2: other people who popped their achilles, who if they wanted

321
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:08,679
Speaker 2: to for a dog and pony show, take off the

322
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 2: walking boot early and put on a specialized shoe. They

323
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:16,160
Speaker 2: could do it. Of course they could. Now if they

324
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:19,959
Speaker 2: did it, their doctor would in say what are you doing?

325
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,440
Speaker 2: But they could do it. You don't think there are

326
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 2: other people that for three and a half months in

327
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 2: could cose play backup quarterback at practice. Of course they could,

328
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 2: but it would be ridiculous to no positive end and

329
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 2: just to be like, look at me, look at me.

330
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:45,680
Speaker 2: And it is the fact that now the Jets this morning, demons,

331
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 2: the Jets had to cut a player, cut him. We

332
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 2: have fifty three roster spots. Aaron saking on your cut. Yes,

333
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,679
Speaker 2: they had to cut a guy. Now they already the

334
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 2: media is cleaning this up. Aaron like, oh, he was

335
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 2: a vested veteran, so he still gets paid. Great. They

336
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 2: saw it to cut him, they had to move him down.

337
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 2: He will then revert to practice squad, which then you

338
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,640
Speaker 2: know what that means, someone on the practice squad gets

339
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:17,640
Speaker 2: cut in service of Aaron Rodgers ego. This would this

340
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 2: would be like if at Blue Duck, who produces this show,

341
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:25,639
Speaker 2: I was like, Hey, I'm sorry, Kara, You've got to

342
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 2: go because my imaginary friend needs that seat. It's like huh,

343
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 2: like no, sorry, like no, that seat is taken up

344
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:37,920
Speaker 2: by but it's important to me. My imaginary friend's gonna

345
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 2: take it. And she's just standing out in the hallway

346
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 2: because they're like, Ah, we don't want to upset Nick.

347
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 2: It's so outrageous. It's just such an im and I

348
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 2: cannot believe there are not Nora Princiati called him out

349
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,439
Speaker 2: on it. I've called him out on it a few others.

350
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 2: There have been others, but the some of the real

351
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:03,119
Speaker 2: taste makers in national football media are like, man, bravo Aaron.

352
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 2: And I will say this now for the second time.

353
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 2: And people think I think mistakenly that a lot of

354
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 2: my annoyance with Aaron Rodgers is because of his stance

355
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,679
Speaker 2: on the vaccine. That is not it. People can have

356
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 2: whatever stance they want on vaccines. The I am I'm

357
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:29,199
Speaker 2: not trying to have that argument right now. The what

358
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:30,160
Speaker 2: surprises you.

359
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 4: That surprises me that you're not like, like on his

360
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 4: tail because it's like a bit. That's not a big

361
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 4: part of you being annoyed with him.

362
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 3: It's like him acting.

363
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:42,200
Speaker 4: That's he's also promoting other people to not get the vaccine.

364
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 2: Well, so listen again, that is that isn't a separate bucket.

365
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 2: I can, I can. We can have that discussion. We

366
00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 2: can have that discussion at a later date or in

367
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 2: a different format. Here is though, what everyone should agree

368
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 2: with Aaron on the vaccine note three years ago said

369
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 2: after you know, misleading everyone and being disingenuous about it, Guys,

370
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:25,920
Speaker 2: I found an alternative to the vaccine, same immunization, none

371
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 2: of the downstream effects that he felt the vaccine had. Right,

372
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,639
Speaker 2: That's what he told us. Okay, we now since then

373
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 2: have learned he considers Big Pharma an evil entity, is

374
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 2: you know, challenging Fauci, debate, me bro all this stuff. Meanwhile,

375
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:50,639
Speaker 2: so he clearly believes that at least this specific vaccine

376
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:54,879
Speaker 2: was really bad and there was another way to go

377
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 2: about immunity, safety and health. That's what he told us.

378
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 2: Then why have you not told everyone what it is?

379
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:07,400
Speaker 2: If I thought that everyone would that millions of people

380
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 2: were doing something terrible for them, and I had an

381
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 2: alternative that was better, and I might do one hour

382
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:19,679
Speaker 2: interviews every week millions of people watch, you know what

383
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 2: I might do share the data. I might be like, hey, guys,

384
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 2: here's the thing. Here's what you do. You smoke some peyote,

385
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 2: you grind up a sugar pill, you rub it on

386
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 2: your forehead, you pray to the god, and this is

387
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 2: what you do here. It worked for me. Let me,

388
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 2: let it work for you. So that's the first thing.

389
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 2: Now the second time he pedaled, I solved Achilles injuries. Well,

390
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 2: I bet Kirk Cousins would like to know what you did.

391
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:59,400
Speaker 2: Poor guy's gonna be limping around Christmas morning, all those

392
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:03,160
Speaker 2: wonderful into his like, I mean, give me a break.

393
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 2: It's just so dumb and and we got all these

394
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 2: people who are like, man, he if the Jets. It

395
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 2: was a massive discussion on every sports TV show for weeks.

396
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 2: Looking this is segments that were done. They would put

397
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 2: up the Jets schedule and they would say, well, if

398
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:34,680
Speaker 2: they can win this game in this game, then week sixteen,

399
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 2: that's Aaron Rodgers target date. If they could just be

400
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 2: seven and seven, he could be back for the playoff.

401
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 2: People were having these discussions. They were being credulous about

402
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 2: the idea that Aaron Rodgers at forty years old, was

403
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 2: gonna play tackle football this year. And then three weeks ago,

404
00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 2: as a birthday present to the guy, they they started

405
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 2: and opened his practice window and we saw the video

406
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,359
Speaker 2: of him at practice and the quarterbacks are doing jumping

407
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 2: jacks and Aaron's like, you know, lightly bobbing on his

408
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:16,640
Speaker 2: knees and then guys are jogging and Aaron is thirty

409
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:21,679
Speaker 2: five paces behind him, and it's like, but in fifteen

410
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,919
Speaker 2: days he's gonna be trying to elude Miles Garrett. The

411
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 2: whole thing was so dumb, and I just I and

412
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 2: people are like, I mean, this is all from the

413
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:41,160
Speaker 2: same studio that gave us. I wasn't ducking your calls.

414
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 2: Everyone knows I don't have phone service where I live.

415
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:48,199
Speaker 2: You have to FaceTime me from the same studio that

416
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:52,160
Speaker 2: gave us. How dare you say I gave the Jets

417
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:56,359
Speaker 2: an offseason wish list? I never would. Meanwhile, they signed

418
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:59,680
Speaker 2: Randall Cobb, Alan Lazard, hired your bff to be there

419
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 2: offen of coordinator, and Tim Boils their third string quarterback.

420
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:07,640
Speaker 2: Like the guy just such phony nonsense, And I and

421
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:12,119
Speaker 2: I it is I don't know who what people are like,

422
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 2: uh the I don't understand and maybe I'm missing it.

423
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 2: Maybe this Bill's gonna come doe for me. Maybe I'm

424
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 2: gonna find out that, uh there there's power wielded that

425
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 2: I was unaware of. But everyone knows it, and so

426
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 2: few of us are just actively calling it out. The

427
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 2: same guy who had the audacity to call to go

428
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 2: after Kelsey, call him mister Pfizer when he works for

429
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 2: the air of the Johnson and Johnson fortune, and it's like,

430
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 2: what are we talking about this guy? Now? I gotta

431
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 2: hear how he accomplished his goal.

432
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 4: This is probably his version of Draymond's like antic s kidding,

433
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 4: all hyper aggressive and the choke holds. Oh, he's getting old,

434
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 4: running out of sauce new tactics.

435
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:06,439
Speaker 2: Well, that feel like that.

436
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:08,119
Speaker 4: I feel like he's always kind of been like this,

437
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 4: but it's just more extreme these days.

438
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,640
Speaker 2: Well, and here's the other thing. If you're a Jets fan,

439
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:16,879
Speaker 2: God love you. I read the rich so Mini article

440
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:19,919
Speaker 2: this week. This morning, it's like questions for the Jets.

441
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 2: The first one was should they bring back sala and Douglas. Well,

442
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 2: Douglas is twenty five and fifty five as a GM.

443
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:30,359
Speaker 2: Salas sixteen and thirty two is a head coach. Obviously

444
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:32,680
Speaker 2: the answer is no. But then it's like, but Aaron

445
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:35,160
Speaker 2: likes them, Well, then I guess you gotta bring him back.

446
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:37,879
Speaker 2: The next question was should they bring back Nat Hackett.

447
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 2: They're like, well, the Jets offense has scored thirteen touchdowns,

448
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:45,200
Speaker 2: they've played fourteen games. They probably shouldn't bring him back,

449
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 2: but it would upset Aaron Rodgers. They are doing all

450
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:55,200
Speaker 2: of this as if they have heat era Lebron James

451
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 2: as there as the guy. It's like, man might piss

452
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 2: him off, but like, what are we gonna do. He's

453
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 2: a guy who this year, the last time in the

454
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 2: last two seasons, the best Packer quarterback play we've seen

455
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:13,639
Speaker 2: has come from Jordan Love and they're doing it for

456
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 2: the soon to be forty one year old Aaron Rodgers.

457
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:22,919
Speaker 2: Get out of here, all right, well, welcome back in.

458
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:24,919
Speaker 2: We'll driving the card episode two or two or do

459
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 2: our picks in about ten minutes. But first, Demons, we

460
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 2: got a Shaq and Steph conversation, and then we're gonna

461
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:34,639
Speaker 2: play a quick holiday game. Go right ahead.

462
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:37,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, So Steph hit a game winning three in overtime

463
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:42,479
Speaker 4: versus my Celtics, obviously, and Shack says that Steph Curry

464
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 4: belongs in the goat conversation. Now we already know who

465
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 4: your goat is, but where do you think that Steph

466
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 4: Curry lines up as in the goat debate?

467
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 2: He's not in it. No, he's not in it. No

468
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 2: I mean, but this is why, like I love Shack,

469
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 2: and Shack also said he was like, He's like, STEP's

470
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 2: better than I was. We can have that discussion. Obviously

471
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 2: couldn't find two more different players, but like in all

472
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 2: time rankings, we can have that discussion. Shack is very

473
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 2: generous of spirit when it comes to like other legendary

474
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 2: players versus him. Yeah, the only guy he always tries

475
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 2: to tear down is Barkley and other modern and modern centers.

476
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 2: Modern centers and Barkley he tries to tear down. But

477
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 2: all the other guys, like the legends before him and

478
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 2: the current legends, he's great about. But the goat conversation

479
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 2: he's not in. It is just not there is So

480
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 2: I don't want to spend a ton of time on

481
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 2: this because the problem with doing this is.

482
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 3: Well, I guess that's a different.

483
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, definitely. Yeah, he's the greatest shooter of all time,

484
00:29:55,440 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 2: and he might be the best ball handler of all time. Kyrie, uh,

485
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 2: Pistol Pete actually are in that discussion. His godfather Rod

486
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 2: Strickland not quite to that level, but.

487
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 3: Is not there.

488
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 2: Oh, now, Magic's the greatest passer of all time, right,

489
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 2: you know what I mean? And so there, but Magic,

490
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 2: I mean Magic's Lebron's size. Magic was a great ball

491
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 2: handler for his size. But no, no, no, I think I

492
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 2: think Steph and Kyrie are the two best ball handlers

493
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 2: I've ever seen. But the problem with doing this is

494
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 2: we then end up tearing a guy down. If you say,

495
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 2: if you say, let me demons, what's up? What's up?

496
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 2: I'm gonna this is a terrible analogy. I apologize. What's

497
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 2: a food you like? Like that you every time you

498
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 2: eat it, you enjoy it. But it's not just something

499
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 2: you like, like, ah, that's good.

500
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 3: Uh, burger from in and Out? All right, Okay, that's good.

501
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 2: That's good. Okay, So you enjoy that, you like that.

502
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 2: When you have it, you're happy. But if I were

503
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 2: to say the burger from in and Out is the

504
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 2: single greatest food in the world, you would then end

505
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 2: up spending time talking about why it's not. You would

506
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 2: be like, well, no it doesn't. It's not as good

507
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 2: as this, is not as that, and now something you like,

508
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 2: you're actually spending your time and energy. So the problem

509
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:32,280
Speaker 2: overrating guys is actually, by accident, the most disrespectful thing

510
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 2: you can do to them, and underrating them is kind

511
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 2: of the nicest because if Shaq had said Steph Curry

512
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 2: not one of the twenty five best players ever, guess

513
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 2: what we would have spent the last couple of days

514
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 2: doing talking about how awesome he is. But instead, if

515
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 2: you like Steph Curry greatest player ever, maybe what do

516
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:55,960
Speaker 2: we spend the last couple of days doing talking about

517
00:31:56,000 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 2: why he's not? And so, the and the the reality

518
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 2: is this, The goat conversation in the NBA is three

519
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 2: people wide. It's Lebron, Michael and Kareem. Those are the

520
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 2: three people eligible for the conversation with If you want

521
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 2: to expand it to include Bill Russell, you can be.

522
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 2: But it does feel like that's almost a different conversation.

523
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 2: But then after that, that next group of the greatest

524
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 2: players ever that has Magic, that has Kobe, that has Bird,

525
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 2: that has Duncan, that has Wilt, that has Shack, that

526
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 2: has a Cheam, that has Steph, that that is Bird.

527
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 2: If I didn't mention him in that group, you can

528
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 2: make an argument for Steph against any of them. Now,

529
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 2: I don't have him ahead of any of those guys

530
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 2: I just listed. I don't, But if someone were like

531
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 2: Steph Curry was better than Shack or Steph Curry is

532
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:10,720
Speaker 2: better than a chem or Steph Curry was better than

533
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 2: Larry Bird. You can at least craft the argument. I

534
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 2: know people started to have the Steph versus Magic argument.

535
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 2: I I don't think that one is actually all that close,

536
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 2: but I can listen to it. But that's the apex

537
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 2: of where it's listenable. Like you can, if that makes sense,

538
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 2: the just like I think, you can, at least without

539
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:48,360
Speaker 2: making a fool of yourself, make the Steph was better

540
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 2: than Kobe argument. You can. I disagree with it, but

541
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:55,080
Speaker 2: you can make it. You can make the Steph was

542
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 2: better than Duncan argument. I disagree with it, but you

543
00:33:57,120 --> 00:34:00,200
Speaker 2: can make it. You can even squint hard enough to

544
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:03,360
Speaker 2: make this step was better than Magic argument. Who I

545
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 2: believe is the fourth gradest player ever. But that's where

546
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:10,399
Speaker 2: it ends. So the absolute top of where he can

547
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 2: get to from a credible argument standpoint is fourth. I

548
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:18,960
Speaker 2: think he's more like eleventh, but it would be fourth

549
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:22,440
Speaker 2: and the absolute bottom if you do the opposite of it,

550
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 2: every guy who has a credible argument is better than him,

551
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:31,759
Speaker 2: give it to him. So that would mean magic other

552
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:34,160
Speaker 2: than your top three that I've already said. Right, So

553
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 2: obviously you have lebron Kareem Michael, and then I'm not

554
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:40,279
Speaker 2: gonna do order, but I'm gonna do the guys. I'm

555
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:41,399
Speaker 2: trying to do him off the top of my head.

556
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:43,320
Speaker 2: If I say, if I'm missing anyone obvious, say it

557
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:46,399
Speaker 2: in my ear. But you would then have You would

558
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 2: have Magic, You would have Russell, you would have Wilt,

559
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:52,479
Speaker 2: you would have Duncan, you would have Kobe, you would

560
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 2: have Bird, you would have a chem you would have Shack,

561
00:34:57,160 --> 00:35:01,920
Speaker 2: you would have Moses, you would have Doctor J. You

562
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 2: would have and again I have Steph ahead of Moses

563
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:06,919
Speaker 2: and Doctor J. But I'm just trying to You would

564
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 2: have Isaiah Thomas, you would have Kevin Durant. Am I

565
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:14,480
Speaker 2: leaving anybody out? I hope I'm not. I think I

566
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:18,040
Speaker 2: listed all all. So that's fifteen. Go ahead, Daniel or anybody.

567
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:22,560
Speaker 2: If you think I'm leaving out somebody obvious, Yannis and

568
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:25,320
Speaker 2: Jokicic would be guys. At some point, you know what

569
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:27,840
Speaker 2: I mean that you would anticipate moving into that realm.

570
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:31,759
Speaker 2: Not there yet. So here's the point I'm making. You

571
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:38,400
Speaker 2: cannot have an intelligent conversation about Steph Curry's all time

572
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:45,680
Speaker 2: ranking and have him lower than sixteen or higher than four.

573
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:54,600
Speaker 2: Anywhere from four to sixteen. You can make a semi

574
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:59,719
Speaker 2: to wholly credible case for anywhere out lower than that.

575
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 2: If all of a sudden you're like d Wade was better,

576
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:05,919
Speaker 2: Dirk was better, because those are the Barkley was better.

577
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:07,880
Speaker 2: Those are the guys in the next kind of grouping,

578
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:14,960
Speaker 2: you sound ridiculous. And anywhere above I think above six

579
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:18,319
Speaker 2: you probably sound semi ridiculous, but you at least can

580
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:21,400
Speaker 2: craft the argument of Steph versus magic. You can craft it.

581
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 2: But anywhere above that you sound ridiculous. So he has

582
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 2: to be if you want to seriously taken ranking somewhere

583
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:35,760
Speaker 2: from four to sixteen all time in the pantheon, I don't.

584
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:39,720
Speaker 2: And so anything lower you're gonna sound like a total hater,

585
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 2: and anything higher you're being ridiculous. All right, let's play

586
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 2: the game naughty or nice? Go ahead? All right, we

587
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:50,360
Speaker 2: haven't played this game like that graphic go ahead.

588
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:53,080
Speaker 4: Kind of looks like Adam Sandler, but we haven't played

589
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:53,879
Speaker 4: this game in a year.

590
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:57,160
Speaker 3: We're bringing it back. Yeah, my bad.

591
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:02,640
Speaker 4: So we're playing, and we'll give you an couple examples.

592
00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:04,759
Speaker 4: A naughty and a nice one. So the NBA has

593
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:08,279
Speaker 4: given US Celtics versus Lakers on Christmas Day, we'd call

594
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 4: that a nice category. And the NFL is giving US

595
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:14,319
Speaker 4: Broncos versus the Patriots on Christmas Eve, we would call

596
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 4: that naughty.

597
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:19,840
Speaker 2: Disagree. I actually think that's quite nice. It's a total

598
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:26,800
Speaker 2: non watch Christmas even Yeah, exactly, exactly right. I actually

599
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:29,560
Speaker 2: think it's quite naughty that the NFL is giving US

600
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:34,960
Speaker 2: Niners Ravens on Christmas Day one of the best games

601
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:40,239
Speaker 2: of the year. On Christmas Day, Chiefs Raiders. Also, I

602
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:44,319
Speaker 2: think it's a I I really think the NFL putting

603
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:47,040
Speaker 2: a one pm game on Christmas Day one BM East

604
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:50,239
Speaker 2: Coast time, involving a West Coast team, which means you're

605
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:54,520
Speaker 2: a diehard Raider fan ten am Christmas Morning, your team's playing.

606
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:56,799
Speaker 2: I don't love it. I don't love it all right,

607
00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:57,280
Speaker 2: but go ahead.

608
00:37:57,360 --> 00:37:59,000
Speaker 3: Christmas music probably won't be going.

609
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:02,799
Speaker 4: But first off, Mike Tomlin, Pittsburgh fans are starting to

610
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:05,400
Speaker 4: get impatient with the Super Bowl winning coach Mike Tomlin,

611
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:07,960
Speaker 4: who can't seem to figure out the offensive side of

612
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:08,480
Speaker 4: the football.

613
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:11,120
Speaker 3: Since Big Ben Prime's prime ended.

614
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 4: Would Pittsburgh moving on from Mike Tomlin be naughty or nice?

615
00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:20,800
Speaker 2: I think naughty. Listen. I think Mike Tomlin's still a really,

616
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:22,480
Speaker 2: really good coach. They haven't been able to get the

617
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:26,880
Speaker 2: quarterback situation right and that's killed him. But I think

618
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:29,239
Speaker 2: that I understand if they do it, I think it

619
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 2: would be a mistake.

620
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:35,080
Speaker 4: Next, the NBA has always owned Christmas Day, but now

621
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:38,000
Speaker 4: the NFL has taken over again. On one hand, it's

622
00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:40,799
Speaker 4: nice for NFL fans, but on the other football is

623
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:43,880
Speaker 4: getting greedy during the holiday season. Is the NFL And

624
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:47,200
Speaker 4: is the NFL encroaching on Christmas Day and naughty or nice?

625
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:50,759
Speaker 2: I think it's naughty. I just kind of alluded to it.

626
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:55,719
Speaker 2: I don't. The thing about the NBA is, especially this

627
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:59,440
Speaker 2: time of year, even on Christmas, you can passively watch,

628
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:02,520
Speaker 2: like you can just have it on, but you don't

629
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:05,040
Speaker 2: have to be locked in for the entire game. If

630
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:06,920
Speaker 2: it's close late, you know what I mean, you lock in.

631
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:10,680
Speaker 2: It's a nice background noise on Christmas. NFL is not

632
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:16,160
Speaker 2: like that, especially if it's your team, and putting three

633
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:19,719
Speaker 2: games on Christmas Day. I'm just not a huge fan

634
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 2: of I'm just not like this. There were three last

635
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:27,800
Speaker 2: weekend there were three Saturday games, then the full Sunday slate.

636
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 2: Now this coming weekend there's three Saturday games. December twenty third,

637
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:38,520
Speaker 2: a full slate of Christmas Eve games, and then three

638
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:43,440
Speaker 2: Christmas Day games. I just don't love it all right, last.

639
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:44,799
Speaker 4: The Suns and Mavericks have been one of the best

640
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:47,680
Speaker 4: rivalries over the past few years in the NBA. Luca

641
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:49,960
Speaker 4: and Booker have gone at it in these games and

642
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:52,560
Speaker 4: have been chippy, to say the least. Well, the Suns

643
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:54,360
Speaker 4: and Mavericks play naughty or nice.

644
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:58,120
Speaker 2: Oh no, they don't like each other. And I love it.

645
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:02,279
Speaker 2: I love the chip on that Luca and Booker have

646
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:05,200
Speaker 2: towards each other. And no, I think that that's a

647
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:09,200
Speaker 2: great budding rivalry that I really do enjoy. All Right,

648

668
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:27,560
Speaker 2: I looked at Twitter, and I see this tweet. Kurt

669
00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:31,319
Speaker 2: ben Kurt, who's was an NFL backup quarterback for a

670
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:37,120
Speaker 2: bit with the Packers, tweeted Brock Purdy is simply a

671
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:45,279
Speaker 2: modern day Drew Breese with more athleticism. And then David Lombardi,

672
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:52,279
Speaker 2: who covers the Niners for The Athletic that not a

673
00:41:52,360 --> 00:42:01,320
Speaker 2: nobody a professional NFL writer one hundred thousand Twitter followers. Okay,

674
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:07,480
Speaker 2: this is what he wrote. Brock Party is Drew Brees

675
00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:15,480
Speaker 2: with Lamar Jackson's ten yard verse, which is exactly what

676
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 2: Kyle Shanahan was looking for at the quarterback position in

677
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:23,160
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one. You want to find Drew Brees who

678
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:28,520
Speaker 2: can move like Lamar Jackson. Yeah, I know, yes, agreed,

679
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:30,799
Speaker 2: you would like to. You would like to pair up

680
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:34,160
Speaker 2: the most accurate quarterback in the NFL history with the

681
00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:37,920
Speaker 2: most athletic quarterback in NFL history. And maybe I'm just

682
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:39,560
Speaker 2: a fool, and they did it.

683
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:41,120
Speaker 3: They did it.

684
00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:44,839
Speaker 2: I mean they you know what, guys, they did it.

685
00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:48,160
Speaker 2: That's making the television show today. I just I'm telling

686
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:51,880
Speaker 2: you right now, Hubbs, if you're watching this, this is

687
00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:56,839
Speaker 2: making the television show. David Lombardi uh San Francisco forty

688
00:42:56,920 --> 00:43:00,799
Speaker 2: nine ers coverage at the athletic Brock Party is true

689
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:04,959
Speaker 2: with Lamar Jackson's ten yard burst. Okay, all right, let's

690
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:07,200
Speaker 2: go to the picks. We need a five and oh

691
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:09,680
Speaker 2: week to get to five hundred. That's the reality of it.

692
00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:12,640
Speaker 2: Tampa plus three and a half, never a doubt, Miami

693
00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:15,160
Speaker 2: minus eight and a half, never a doubt. The Giants

694
00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:17,600
Speaker 2: plus six against New Orleans. That one didn't work out.

695
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:20,239
Speaker 2: Dallas plus one and a half at Buffalo they got annihilated.

696
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:24,200
Speaker 2: Jacksonville plus three and a half against Baltimore. It was raining,

697
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:25,960
Speaker 2: so I don't even know if that should count. But

698
00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:28,319
Speaker 2: we're you know, we've spent a lot of time in

699
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:31,720
Speaker 2: the past on these picks. I'm gonna rapid fireroom demonds

700
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 2: because the reality is this. Uh, people right now probably

701
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:37,080
Speaker 2: don't care about my analysis of it because I'm five

702
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:40,960
Speaker 2: games under five hundred, so my analysis probably flawed. All right,

703
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:41,960
Speaker 2: give me the first one.

704
00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:45,440
Speaker 4: First off, you got Indy plus one at Atlanta.

705
00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:49,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Atlanta stinks. I think Indy's getting healthier.

706
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:53,319
Speaker 2: Jonathan Taylor is supposed to play. Indy's the better team.

707
00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:56,160
Speaker 2: Indy needs the game at Lantai. I think people are

708
00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:59,760
Speaker 2: getting fired. They just went to Heinike, they go rit or, Heinekee, Heineke.

709
00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:02,759
Speaker 2: It's all the same. We like Indie plus one.

710
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:06,280
Speaker 4: Next, Yeah, Washington plus three at the Jets.

711
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:12,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean the Jets cannot. The Jets have looked

712
00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:15,040
Speaker 2: competent once in the last month and a half, and

713
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:17,640
Speaker 2: it was the one game that Zach Wilson had an

714
00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:23,000
Speaker 2: out of body experience and played great. He's he's got

715
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:24,920
Speaker 2: a concussion. He's probably not gonna play. It's gonna be

716
00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:28,000
Speaker 2: Trevor Simmy and the Jets can't score points. I think Washington.

717
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:30,920
Speaker 2: I'm getting Washington, who is better than the Jets, and

718
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:33,880
Speaker 2: I'm getting points. Now. Am I little worried about the

719
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:37,399
Speaker 2: turnovers from the quarterback position in Washington in this game?

720
00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:41,120
Speaker 2: Given that Jets defensive front, yes, but two bad teams,

721
00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:44,319
Speaker 2: two really bad teams, give me the three points. It's

722
00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:44,880
Speaker 2: that simple.

723
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:49,719
Speaker 3: Next Detroit minus three at Minnesota.

724
00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:52,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, this is Jared Goff and a dome.

725
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:55,759
Speaker 2: It's Jared Goff and a dome against a team who

726
00:44:56,239 --> 00:44:59,319
Speaker 2: you know is now on their third different quarterback of

727
00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:03,759
Speaker 2: the season. Detroit needs the game. I understand Minnesota desperately

728
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:06,400
Speaker 2: needs it. I don't believe in this version of the

729
00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:11,480
Speaker 2: Minnesota Vikings. Nick Mullins is one of the worst covering

730
00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:13,960
Speaker 2: quarterbacks of the last few years, five to eleven and

731
00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:18,320
Speaker 2: one in his career. I think Detroit, listen, Minnesota is

732
00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:20,399
Speaker 2: gonna blitz the hell out of Detroit. I think Ben

733
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:23,120
Speaker 2: Johnson's gonna have an answer for that. I think Detroit

734
00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:28,000
Speaker 2: against mid tier or worst teams or against most teams

735
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:32,200
Speaker 2: in a controlled weather environment like a dome is gonna cook.

736
00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:34,759
Speaker 2: I don't mind laying three points for a divisional road

737
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:38,600
Speaker 2: road favorite. I know that's typically not a great idea,

738
00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:41,600
Speaker 2: but I'm good with it in this spot. Detroit minus three.

739
00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:44,560
Speaker 3: Next Dallas plus one and a half at Miami.

740
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:49,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, like I just Miami is incredibly banged up. Dallas

741
00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:53,239
Speaker 2: doesn't lose back to back. Dallas's offense I think will

742
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:57,200
Speaker 2: click back in Miami. This is a bit of a

743
00:45:57,640 --> 00:45:59,759
Speaker 2: I don't want to say a trap game spot, but

744
00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:03,640
Speaker 2: my Miami's massive game is next week against Baltimore and

745
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:06,879
Speaker 2: then the following week against Buffalo. If there was ever

746
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:09,759
Speaker 2: a week that they could I don't want to say

747
00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:13,080
Speaker 2: overlook because it's national TV. They're at home, they're playing

748
00:46:13,120 --> 00:46:16,719
Speaker 2: a great team, but they have massive games coming up

749
00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:19,560
Speaker 2: in week seventeen to eighteen. Dallas coming off a loss,

750
00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:22,560
Speaker 2: Miami coming off an easy victory. Dallas has to have

751
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:25,400
Speaker 2: the win with Philly all of a sudden, looking really shaky,

752
00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:28,600
Speaker 2: Dallas can steal that division. I like Dallas to win,

753
00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:32,960
Speaker 2: and especially given yesterday's practice report where Hill's not practicing,

754
00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:36,520
Speaker 2: a Cham's not practicing. The entire offensive line didn't practice.

755
00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:37,680
Speaker 2: All right, last one?

756
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:41,400
Speaker 4: All right, you got the Giants plus twelve at Philly.

757
00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:46,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's I'm getting a dozen points in a divisional

758
00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:50,640
Speaker 2: game against a team that is in total disarray, and

759
00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:53,920
Speaker 2: against a team who just let Drew Lot go ninety

760
00:46:53,960 --> 00:46:56,760
Speaker 2: two yards. You let Drew Lot go ninety two yards

761
00:46:56,760 --> 00:46:59,680
Speaker 2: in ninety seconds. The idea that Tommy DeVito can't get

762
00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:02,160
Speaker 2: a back or cover out of this. If you let

763
00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:05,600
Speaker 2: if you can't stop Drew Locke to win a game,

764
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:09,880
Speaker 2: then anybody can cook on you. The Philly defenses in shambles.

765
00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:13,520
Speaker 2: They just they had Matt Patricia call him plays. Matt Patricia,

766
00:47:13,520 --> 00:47:16,000
Speaker 2: who famously carries around a pencil even though his play

767
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:18,760
Speaker 2: sheets laminated and you can't use a pencil on laminade

768
00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:20,759
Speaker 2: beats of paper, But he does it because he's trying

769
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:23,640
Speaker 2: to coseplay as Bill Belichick. Yeah, I'll take the Giants

770
00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:26,960
Speaker 2: getting a dozen points in a divisional game. So the

771
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:30,799
Speaker 2: picks this week are Indy plus one, Washington plus three,

772
00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:33,359
Speaker 2: Detroit minus three, Dallas plus one and a half, and

773
00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:36,439
Speaker 2: the Giants plus twelve. Last week, Demonse and I both

774
00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:41,560
Speaker 2: did a teaser. Uh, and well, Demonse's was unaired, mine

775
00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:44,720
Speaker 2: was aired. They both lost. We've been officially the worst

776
00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:48,319
Speaker 2: teaser show in America this year. But even okay on

777
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:51,440
Speaker 2: the offer, though, what's the offer? This week? We lost

778
00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:54,040
Speaker 2: to Moonse so I'll read the teaser. Don't worry about that.

779
00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:57,400
Speaker 2: We're calling this one. Joe Burrow is a system quarterback.

780
00:47:57,440 --> 00:47:59,600
Speaker 2: I'm not saying that. That's what the offer is. Jake

781
00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:02,399
Speaker 2: brown to throw for three hundred yards and over one

782
00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:05,440
Speaker 2: and a half touchdown passes for Pitt or versus Pitt

783
00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:08,600
Speaker 2: for Jake Browning. I'm not gonna take that. I do

784
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:11,400
Speaker 2: understand it, but I think that's a little too rich.

785

813
00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:44,680
Speaker 2: But we're about to wrap the show, anyway, Where do

814
00:49:44,719 --> 00:49:47,520
Speaker 2: the Lakers go from here? After an underwhelming fifteen and

815
00:49:47,600 --> 00:49:51,319
Speaker 2: thirteen start trade a new coach? Lebron asks out, there's

816
00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:53,359
Speaker 2: not gonna be a new coach. Lebron's not gonna ask out.

817
00:49:53,760 --> 00:49:56,319
Speaker 2: I do think that they're gonna make a significant trade

818
00:49:56,360 --> 00:49:59,120
Speaker 2: at some point. I also think that it does seem

819
00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:01,600
Speaker 2: like they put a lot of effort and energy into

820
00:50:01,640 --> 00:50:04,600
Speaker 2: that end season tournament, and since then for them and

821
00:50:04,680 --> 00:50:07,480
Speaker 2: the Pacers that things haven't been quite right. I don't

822
00:50:07,520 --> 00:50:09,279
Speaker 2: have really the answer on that, but you can't be

823
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:11,840
Speaker 2: getting blown out by the Chicago Bulls. Give me a break.

824
00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:17,800
Speaker 2: Daniel Christo christasect pardon me, asked, could Kadarius Tony's receiving

825
00:50:17,840 --> 00:50:21,640
Speaker 2: issues being equipment management issue? He's wearing different gloves and

826
00:50:21,719 --> 00:50:23,960
Speaker 2: other guys, I've never thought of that. I did have

827
00:50:24,040 --> 00:50:26,520
Speaker 2: the Galaxy Brain take though yesterday, and I think the

828
00:50:26,520 --> 00:50:29,960
Speaker 2: producers will love this, including producer Kara, who once upon

829
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:31,960
Speaker 2: a time I called an intern in just earlier the

830
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:36,360
Speaker 2: show I fired for an imaginary friend. Sorry about that, Kara. Uh,

831
00:50:36,440 --> 00:50:41,279
Speaker 2: here's my Galaxy Brain. Kadarius Tony drops take if he

832
00:50:41,360 --> 00:50:46,160
Speaker 2: were worse it'd be better. The take is this the

833
00:50:46,239 --> 00:50:50,680
Speaker 2: Kadarias Tony drops. If they were traditional drops that just

834
00:50:50,719 --> 00:50:55,640
Speaker 2: went through his hands down, nobody would care. But because

835
00:50:55,680 --> 00:50:59,080
Speaker 2: he's almost catching it and then trying to double catch

836
00:50:59,120 --> 00:51:02,680
Speaker 2: it and he pushes it up, they turn into interceptions.

837
00:51:03,080 --> 00:51:06,240
Speaker 2: If he was worse, nobody would care about these drops.

838
00:51:07,360 --> 00:51:10,400
Speaker 2: Cutlass asks, do you ever think we'll see Stephan Lebron

839
00:51:10,520 --> 00:51:14,280
Speaker 2: team up before they retire? Listen? If the Warriors, Suns,

840
00:51:14,280 --> 00:51:17,920
Speaker 2: and Lakers all have disappointing seasons as they are as

841
00:51:17,960 --> 00:51:21,960
Speaker 2: it looks like they're all going to I personally would

842
00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:25,560
Speaker 2: love to see I think Oklahoma City's the only team

843
00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:28,160
Speaker 2: that could make this happen as far as cap space

844
00:51:28,239 --> 00:51:31,120
Speaker 2: and trade assets. I'd love to see an old guys

845
00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:36,319
Speaker 2: team next year. Lebron at forty, step and Katie both

846
00:51:36,360 --> 00:51:40,080
Speaker 2: at thirty six. Those three guys just taking like in

847
00:51:40,120 --> 00:51:43,440
Speaker 2: a sports movie, three of the oldest players in the league,

848
00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:46,759
Speaker 2: three legends teaming up against all the young guys. But no,

849
00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:50,200
Speaker 2: I don't think we'll ever see it. And then the

850
00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:53,560
Speaker 2: last one is Zane Martin ask. Because the NFL's are

851
00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:56,480
Speaker 2: hard salary cap league, do you think salary should be

852
00:51:56,560 --> 00:51:59,799
Speaker 2: considered for MVP. Sure, let's have pretty, let's give pretty

853
00:51:59,840 --> 00:52:03,120
Speaker 2: more advantages. No, it shouldn't be considered for MVP. It

854
00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:07,520
Speaker 2: should be considered as far as what player is adding

855
00:52:07,640 --> 00:52:12,759
Speaker 2: most value given the cap. But that's totally separate from

856
00:52:12,760 --> 00:52:15,440
Speaker 2: what the award most Valuable Player is supposed to be.

857
00:52:15,719 --> 00:52:18,200
Speaker 2: All right, guys, be on the lookout. Next week we'll

858
00:52:18,239 --> 00:52:21,080
Speaker 2: have a kind of a year end recap, new episode

Speaker 2: if I don't talk to you before, then have a
