The way tire buying 8 00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:31,560 Speaker 1: should be heavy NFL tonight, as we are in a 9 00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:39,040 Speaker 1: very pivotal week. Fifteen playoff positions will be earned, playoff 10 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:44,599 Speaker 1: spots will be lost, Divisions could be clinched. We had 11 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,120 Speaker 1: a triple header today which I'm gonna get to in 12 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,440 Speaker 1: a second bottom of the hour. You know, if they 13 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:53,800 Speaker 1: were to write a book or film a movie about 14 00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,040 Speaker 1: the twenty fifteen season, I think you'd have to call 15 00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,040 Speaker 1: it the Year of the Quarterback. I'm going to dive 16 00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:01,640 Speaker 1: heavily into that and we'll talk some NFL in about 17 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 1: fifty minutes with Jason herscherm on one of our NFL 18 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:09,199 Speaker 1: in siders. Of course, Mark Medina, Midnight Magic, Medina Magic, 19 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 1: lots of stuff in the NBA never fails, never fails, 20 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,600 Speaker 1: and of course, two am the dance Sensation sweep in 21 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:18,319 Speaker 1: the nation. What kind of brand new fool of you? 22 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:24,679 Speaker 1: Followed by what my name? But we were treated to 23 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,280 Speaker 1: a triple header today, and as I talked about this 24 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 1: Friday night, all these games had playoff implications. They were important. 25 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,680 Speaker 1: All three contests were important. We don't really need to 26 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:40,200 Speaker 1: talk about the sixty three to twenty one debacle Thursday night. 27 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 1: We've already beat that to death. But on Saturday, the 28 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals kept their playoff hopes alive and what I 29 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 1: consider to be a pretty thrilling twenty seven to twenty 30 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 1: four victory over the Vikings in overtime. Two backup quarterbacks 31 00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 1: Nick Mullins and Jake Browning did themselves quite well. Meanwhile, 32 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 1: the Colts, they follow up with another backup quarterback, Gardner Minshew. 33 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,800 Speaker 1: They score thirty unanswered points in a thirty to thirteen 34 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 1: win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. They spot the Steelers a 35 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:18,240 Speaker 1: thirteen to nothing lead, and then Indianapolis goes to work. 36 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:20,639 Speaker 1: I don't know what they all happened to. Mitch Trubisky. 37 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 1: He was twenty five and thirteen as a start of 38 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 1: Chicago three years ago that offense couldn't score in a 39 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:27,799 Speaker 1: house Ofville repute with a fist full of fifties. They 40 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 1: just can't do it. Meanwhile, the Lions told you not 41 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 1: to panic. They're way better at home. They're eighteen and 42 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: five of their last twenty three games, and just because 43 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 1: they don't win every game by margin, people lose their mind. Samuel, Lions, look, 44 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 1: give them a chance. All I ever said at the 45 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 1: beginning of the season is I expect them to go 46 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,080 Speaker 1: at least ten and seven and have one playoff game. 47 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 1: They're gonna have a home playoff game. They're gonna be 48 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 1: a tough out at home. On the road. We'll see, 49 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 1: But let's not project. They made easy work of the 50 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 1: Broncos forty two to seventeen in a blowout Saturday night 51 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 1: that wrapped up the triple header slate. And let's tell it. 52 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 1: Let's start there, because the Lions offense all year has 53 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 1: had quite a swagger, I think, and then they somewhat 54 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:20,640 Speaker 1: lost it. Well did the Lions get their swagger back? Well? 55 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 1: Remember last week they only scored thirteen points against the Bears. 56 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:29,920 Speaker 1: That was somewhat predictable weather outdoor hothouse team grass Chicago's 57 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,919 Speaker 1: defense is much better, and the Lions sometimes played down 58 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 1: to their opponent, but they realized they had a great 59 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 1: riek of practice this week. They knew they were pissed. 60 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 1: It was frustrating, they were disappointed, they were embarrassed. They 61 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 1: responded with a strong home win, solid output both sides 62 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 1: of the ball. Amon Ross Saint Brown, coming off a 63 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 1: season low twenty one receiving yards last week, Jared goff 64 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 1: I get it, committed nine turnovers in a four game stretch. 65 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 1: They both stepped up big time. Saint Brown one hundred 66 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 1: and two receiving yards, golf throws, not one, not two, 67 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 1: not three, not for five, touchdown passes, no turnovers. And 68 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 1: by the way, Sam Laporta maybe a household name after all? 69 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 1: How about that? How about Sam Laporta? The Broncos, I 70 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 1: don't know, man, you gotta ask yourself. Can they gass 71 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 1: up for one more last playoff push? I'm not so sure. 72 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,599 Speaker 1: They played their head. Remember the Broncos had to play 73 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 1: their third World game in thirteen days, and they looked 74 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 1: a little travel weary. No two ways about it. They 75 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:33,720 Speaker 1: run defense isn't great. You get the picture. The Broncos 76 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 1: get to visit or they their home against New England 77 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 1: actually on Christmas Eve. That's your next game. Meanwhile, Indianapolis 78 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 1: Shane stik is making a case for Coach of the Year. 79 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:49,719 Speaker 1: Can the Colts finish the job? And it's a fair 80 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,920 Speaker 1: question because they are starting to get lots of injuries 81 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,359 Speaker 1: that are mounting up. They lost Michael Pittman Junior to 82 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,599 Speaker 1: a concussion, they lost Zach Moss to an arm injury. 83 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:04,919 Speaker 1: But they seem to block tackle play well and Gardner 84 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:09,160 Speaker 1: Minshew had seven completions of ten yards or longer. That's 85 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:13,479 Speaker 1: a good sign for a passer who's not really considered 86 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,040 Speaker 1: to be a guy who goes downfield right and left right. 87 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,839 Speaker 1: But when you slice it up, seventeen point win for 88 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:25,239 Speaker 1: Indianapolis at home, you have to like their chances moving forward. 89 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 1: They go to Atlanta on Christmas Eve. Steelers. I don't know. 90 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 1: Something is really really wrong here with the Steelers. They're 91 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,839 Speaker 1: home against the Bengals next Saturday. They've dropped three in 92 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 1: a row and there's nothing from their performances cumulatively to 93 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 1: suggest this team might not win another game the rest 94 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 1: of the seams. Forget the playoffs. This is not a playoff 95 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 1: team in any way. Shape or form in all three phases. 96 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 1: In their loss to the Colts. You already have a 97 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 1: short handed Steelers defense and they were outplayed by a 98 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 1: short handed Colts offense. The Steelers could not stop the 99 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 1: run period. The Colts had guys elevated from the practice 100 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:12,039 Speaker 1: squad and they were scoring touchdowns. So up on deck 101 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 1: for the Steelers. They're playing a Bengals team who was 102 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 1: surging and looking pretty good, a very stout Seattle Seahawks squad. 103 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:20,839 Speaker 1: It will bring it and guess what, no rest for 104 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 1: the wicked. They finish up with the Baltimore Ravens. I 105 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:26,719 Speaker 1: think this, you know, I'd like to thank the Steelers 106 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 1: for participating in the twenty twenty three season. Do I 107 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,360 Speaker 1: think Mike Tomlin will be back next year? Absolutely? Who 108 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,160 Speaker 1: you got to replace him with? Brandon Staley? Come on, 109 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:41,920 Speaker 1: Tomlin's your guy. Finally, Cincinnati Minnesota the game that started 110 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 1: the day. The question is, are the Bengals two banged 111 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 1: up to keep this magic ruling again? We are? This 112 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 1: is what happens in the National Football Given the year 113 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers when his only Super Bowl in Green Bay, 114 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:56,920 Speaker 1: they had fourteen players on the I are that year. 115 00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:01,480 Speaker 1: This is a way of life and what happened. Cincinnati 116 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,159 Speaker 1: suffered a couple massive injuries. DJ Reader left the game 117 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 1: lawer back injury. Jamar Chase got knocked out with the 118 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 1: right shoulder injury. They've been able to withstand the loss 119 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 1: of Joe Burrow, but now you lose a top defender. 120 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 1: When the league's best receivers, these things start to pile up. Fortunately, 121 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 1: they're at the Steelers next Saturday. We get a doubleheader 122 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 1: next Saturday, December twenty third, looking forward to that. Finally, 123 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 1: the Vikings. Why does an otherwise great defense keep giving 124 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 1: up late leads? I am impressed with how the Vikings play. 125 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 1: I'll cover the Raiders game last Sunday. The three nothing 126 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 1: Pitchers duel. The Vikings get after it. One defense, their 127 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 1: pursuit angles, they tackle, their physical they don't blow a 128 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 1: lot of assignments. Their simon sound. But Saturday marked the 129 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 1: third time in four games they won. They beat the 130 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 1: Raiders last week, the Vikings have lost after giving up 131 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 1: the winning score with less than two minutes remaining. When 132 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 1: the Vikings are up seventeen three early in the fourth quarter, 133 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 1: I figured they would finish it out. Then it was 134 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 1: seventeen seventeen, but the Vikings responded. It was twenty four 135 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 1: to seventeen with three forty eight remaining. T Higgins deserves 136 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 1: a lot of credit that acrobatic catch when he went up, 137 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 1: got the ball, leaned over the gold line with thirty 138 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 1: nine seconds remaining. Stuff legends are made of, right, But 139 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 1: the Vikings have proved vulnerable to these deep dig routes. 140 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:27,800 Speaker 1: And Jake Browning, who was very good at Washington. Chris 141 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 1: Peterson raved about him, Well, I'm starting to think he 142 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 1: might be legit. We shall see. But he completed ten 143 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,680 Speaker 1: or fourteen passes for one hundred and sixty six yards 144 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 1: and two touchdowns on their final six drives when it mattered. 145 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 1: Most take notes, Derek Carr take notes. But the Viking 146 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 1: stock has to be down. And I don't like their 147 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,560 Speaker 1: tush push. I don't know why anybody else tries this. 148 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 1: Let Philly do it. You all are a bunch of posers. 149 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 1: You can't do it. You look stupid trying anyway, believe 150 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 1: it or not. Here's how devastating this loss was to 151 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 1: the Vikings today. Had the Vikings held on to their 152 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,720 Speaker 1: two touchdown lead today and closed it out and one 153 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:10,079 Speaker 1: out the rest of the way that it would have 154 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,880 Speaker 1: been the Minnesota Vikings that would have won the NFC North. 155 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 1: They would have finished ten and six, that would have 156 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 1: included two wins over the Lions. And even if the 157 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 1: Lions check that eleven and six, even if the Lions 158 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 1: finished eleven and six, they would have owned the tiebreaker. 159 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:29,960 Speaker 1: Devastating loss, fantastic triple header, and they all meant something. 160 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 1: We are eleven hours away from another slate of games, 161 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 1: and later on the show we will dive into deep 162 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 1: analysis on all of those.

That's welcoming a gentleman. He's been 196 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,440 Speaker 1: on My show many times. An award winning NFL writer, 197 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:23,720 Speaker 1: He's contributed to NFL dot com as be Nation Sports Illustrated. 198 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,440 Speaker 1: He's the co founder of the Leap, a Packers newsletter. 199 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 1: Say healo to Jason Hershorn, Jason good evening a lot 200 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 1: to talk about. 201 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 5: It's great to hear from you. 202 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:37,680 Speaker 1: Yes, sir, hope Aul is going well with you. Let's 203 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 1: not bury the lead. The news was pretty big, pretty 204 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 1: severe after the sixty three to twenty one drubbing. Tom 205 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 1: to Les Goo gone, Brandon Staley gone. There are already 206 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 1: names emerging coming from three categories. Let's start from what 207 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:57,080 Speaker 1: I consider to be the least potential college coaches like 208 00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 1: Matt Campbell or Lincoln Riley. Do you give that any 209 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:05,199 Speaker 1: credence at all as potential candidates who could replace Brandon Staley. 210 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 5: So the Charges are a team that I've actually covered 211 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:13,120 Speaker 5: before extensively. I was the Sports Illustrated beat writer for them, 212 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 5: and in the multiple seasons in which I was in 213 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:17,760 Speaker 5: that position, it became very clear of the wall. There 214 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,080 Speaker 5: are a lot of parts of the organization that are 215 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:23,080 Speaker 5: well thought out, well run. It is still also an 216 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 5: organization that by NFL standards, runs on a shoe screen budget. 217 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:28,080 Speaker 6: I'm bringing up for this reason. 218 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,080 Speaker 5: This is not a team that is going to, at 219 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 5: any point in recent history spend relative to the rest 220 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:40,679 Speaker 5: of the league at the coaching positions plural. So if 221 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 5: you're hearing anything of this matters coming from tolls A 222 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:43,840 Speaker 5: Network's coming from somewhere else. 223 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:44,199 Speaker 7: In the NFL. 224 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,080 Speaker 5: Is that coach is going to require one of the 225 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,720 Speaker 5: larger salaries. It is not something that I would expect 226 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,560 Speaker 5: to happen. So if it's you know, Jim Harbor, if 227 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 5: it's Lincoln right of the as you mentioned, if it's 228 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:58,560 Speaker 5: anyone that's going to require a Briaks truck to bring 229 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 5: the coast to Mesa, I do anticipate that happening. It 230 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,560 Speaker 5: is not something that they've done, and it's something that 231 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 5: I think that they are going to do. The next 232 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 5: time they do that kind of thing will be the 233 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:08,840 Speaker 5: first time. 234 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 1: Jason, we are on a complete agreement. I am one 235 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:16,120 Speaker 1: hundred percent aware of the Spanos history. They're paying Brandon Staley, 236 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 1: I think four million dollars. Let's jump to the potential 237 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:24,560 Speaker 1: Harball Belichick situation. I know I talked to somebody Friday 238 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:26,680 Speaker 1: who talked to Jim Harball on Thursday, is a man 239 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 1: crush on Justin Herbert. But I don't think for a 240 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 1: minute that Dean Spanos is going to give him north 241 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,440 Speaker 1: of eleven million in total control. So can we sort 242 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:39,080 Speaker 1: of eliminate the Bill Belichick Jim Harbaugh candidate. I won't 243 00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:42,520 Speaker 1: rule it out completely, but it seems unlikely your thoughts. 244 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:45,559 Speaker 5: With Harvey, I find that very heart to believe. Not 245 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 5: because I don't think that there are reasons a coach 246 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 5: of his caliber would want to coach Justin Herbert and 247 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 5: the parts of that roster that are good. I mean, 248 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:56,080 Speaker 5: that's obviously very attractive. The monetary component, though, is too 249 00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 5: much of a hurle for me to project him overcoming. 250 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 6: Belichick is more of a. 251 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 5: Black box because he's a very different coastal perspective of 252 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:06,319 Speaker 5: He's already in his seventies. There's not going to be 253 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 5: another head coaching candidate for any job that's going to 254 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:12,120 Speaker 5: be an even close to that age, and you don't 255 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 5: know what his primary motivation is. So maybe he's willing 256 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:19,200 Speaker 5: to take less money to coach Justin Herbert and go 257 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,479 Speaker 5: for the all time wins record. I don't think that's impossible. 258 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,280 Speaker 5: I also don't know if that's true either. You know, 259 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 5: he's one of the higher paid NFL head coaches, we believe, 260 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 5: so would he go from that to being someone who's 261 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:34,640 Speaker 5: spacifically less. Keep in mind that the Patriots would probably 262 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:36,800 Speaker 5: have to trade him in that situation if they think 263 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:38,680 Speaker 5: there's a market for him. They don't necessarily have to 264 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,280 Speaker 5: fire him. There's a lot of moving parts there that 265 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:44,040 Speaker 5: make that extremely difficult project, whether involves the Chargers or 266 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,280 Speaker 5: another team. Belcheck is a story that we're certainly going 267 00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 5: to be monitoring, not for the next few weeks, but 268 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,160 Speaker 5: probably for the next two months. 269 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:57,080 Speaker 1: Absolutely, and I would surmise at Belichick's motivation for any 270 00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 1: job outside of New England would be to catch Don 271 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:03,440 Speaker 1: Shue George Allis. But conversation for a different day. So 272 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,400 Speaker 1: that leads us with the middle category, the hot shot 273 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:10,360 Speaker 1: coordinator of Frank Smith from Miami. Don't I think you 274 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 1: can rule out Kellen Moore of Ben Johnson right on 275 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:17,960 Speaker 1: down the line. It's the same, you know, roster of names, 276 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,400 Speaker 1: and I all these names I'm giving you, I kind 277 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,120 Speaker 1: of hold my nose. I'm throwing them out there because 278 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 1: there are the names that are emerging. Where do you 279 00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 1: think it's most likely of those categories that the Chargers 280 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:29,680 Speaker 1: end up well? 281 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 5: Of the jobs that are open or we anticipate could 282 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 5: be open when we reach Black Monday, the Chargers are 283 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 5: probably when you account for the players they have under centers, 284 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:44,080 Speaker 5: it's when healthy the most attractive or the second most 285 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:46,480 Speaker 5: attractive job. So it doesn't mean that it's really going 286 00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:48,160 Speaker 5: to get the best candidate, but they're going to have 287 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 5: the inside track to whomever they want. 288 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:51,520 Speaker 2: Now. 289 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:55,400 Speaker 5: Ben Johnson is, as you stated, like the hot coordinator candidates. 290 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,080 Speaker 5: But with the way the NFL has traditionally worked is 291 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,040 Speaker 5: if you've never held the head coaching position in the 292 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,800 Speaker 5: NFL and you're not trying to move from college as 293 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 5: a big time head coach, usually going to get on 294 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,040 Speaker 5: the lower end of sailor even if you're someone who 295 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:11,320 Speaker 5: has a lot of options in terms of potential landing spot. 296 00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 5: So I don't think Ben Johnson is outside of their budget. 297 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:17,400 Speaker 5: And if he wants to coach Justin Herbert and the 298 00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:19,119 Speaker 5: Chargers want him, it would not surprise. 299 00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 6: Me at all. 300 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 5: That's the way it goes, Frank Smith, and I'm glad 301 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 5: you brought him up. With the other interesting name. He 302 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:26,640 Speaker 5: has coached in a physitional capacity with the Chargers before, right, 303 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,640 Speaker 5: already familiar with the organization. Just as importantly you know 304 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 5: the Spanish family. Some of the hire of people who 305 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:33,800 Speaker 5: are still going to be there are familiar with him, 306 00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 5: so that could create a bridge there as well. The 307 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:39,520 Speaker 5: situation is also a little clud because, as you mentioned 308 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:41,960 Speaker 5: at the top, they also fire Tom Telesco when they 309 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 5: fire Brandon Stay. So are they going to hire a 310 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:45,800 Speaker 5: head coach and then figure out the GM? Are they 311 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 5: going to hire the GM and then figure out the 312 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,920 Speaker 5: head coach. It's really difficult to project them until we 313 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:51,760 Speaker 5: know what kind of structure they're looking for. 314 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:59,000 Speaker 1: Talking with Jason Kershorn, who foundered the Leap the Packers newsletter, Jason, 315 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,080 Speaker 1: let's work back. I think it's a fad, a compleat 316 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:05,199 Speaker 1: that Bill Belichick will be moving on. They'll do it 317 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:09,879 Speaker 1: in a ceremonious fashion. Who do you expect to end 318 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 1: up with the Reins following the legend Bill Belichick in 319 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:13,119 Speaker 1: New England? 320 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 5: I don't know who wants to have that job. And 321 00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,480 Speaker 5: it's not that there are parts of the Patriots organization 322 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:22,639 Speaker 5: that would be appealing to a candidate. I mean, this 323 00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:26,040 Speaker 5: is a team that has unprecedent instability, and it's not 324 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:28,280 Speaker 5: just that Bill Belichick has had all that success that 325 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 5: it does come from ownership as well, and it's certainly 326 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,480 Speaker 5: an overisition that is afraid to spend, whether that Don 327 00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 5: coaches with a Don personnel. So there's a lot of 328 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,480 Speaker 5: things there for Kenny to be intrigued Bosh. At the 329 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,439 Speaker 5: same time, you don't want to be the guy that 330 00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:46,840 Speaker 5: follows the guy. That's true in almost any situation. Bill 331 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:50,720 Speaker 5: Belichick is probably the greatest coach, not just of his 332 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:55,240 Speaker 5: generations but in NFL history. So it's really hard to 333 00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,360 Speaker 5: see someone stepping in there. I mean, could they go 334 00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:01,119 Speaker 5: with maybe a Geradveo, someone who has been grooed seems 335 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:02,920 Speaker 5: to be a head coach there, maybe the replacer for 336 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:06,000 Speaker 5: Belichick maybe, But also if you're moving on for Belichick 337 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,199 Speaker 5: when he's not the one deciding to move on, do 338 00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:11,320 Speaker 5: you want to just go with an extension of that 339 00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:13,840 Speaker 5: regime or do you want to go in a different direction. 340 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,560 Speaker 5: And also keep in mind Belchick isn't just the head 341 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,439 Speaker 5: coach there, he is the de facto general manager, So 342 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:23,919 Speaker 5: you're replacing that entire football structure, probably with something that 343 00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:27,040 Speaker 5: is not just a little different, that is wildly different. 344 00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:30,400 Speaker 5: And for those reasons, like we really don't know what's 345 00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:33,159 Speaker 5: going to happen there, they could plausibly pick off anybody. 346 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,840 Speaker 5: If two months from now Jim Harb wasn't the head 347 00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,160 Speaker 5: coach of the Patriots, I don't think we can be surprised. 348 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:40,760 Speaker 5: But turns out it's someone who has never held more 349 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:42,480 Speaker 5: than a quarter of position. I don't think that could 350 00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:44,080 Speaker 5: be surprised. We don't know if they're going to have 351 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,720 Speaker 5: additional general manager or not. There's more so than with 352 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:49,960 Speaker 5: the Chargers. There are more variables at play with the 353 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,280 Speaker 5: Patriots because of the unique situation with Belichick. 354 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 1: Jason, which direction do you expect the Raiders to go? 355 00:18:56,359 --> 00:19:00,320 Speaker 1: I know that Antonio Appears is in full campaign mode 356 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,160 Speaker 1: for this job, and they have responded the same way 357 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 1: they responded to Rich Basaccia two years ago. You think 358 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:10,240 Speaker 1: Mark Davis wants to go big name hunting again or 359 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:12,480 Speaker 1: do you think he maybe ends up with Antonio Appears. 360 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:17,280 Speaker 5: I fully understand that like the big win over the Chargers, 361 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,199 Speaker 5: that we mean big wins sixty three to twenty one 362 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 5: in a prime time matchup, that is certainly certainly had 363 00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 5: a way of forming opinion publicly about what Antonio Pears 364 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 5: can be as the head coach of the Raiders if 365 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:32,560 Speaker 5: he was to get that job full time. Also worth 366 00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:35,800 Speaker 5: pointing out here that prior to that game, the Raiders 367 00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,399 Speaker 5: had lost straight and when it comes to any interim 368 00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:40,840 Speaker 5: head coach, regardless of the team, regardless of the situation, 369 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,160 Speaker 5: there's a little bit of are they succeeding because they 370 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 5: didn't like the guy who was fired and they're happy 371 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,440 Speaker 5: to have the substitute teacher, or are they succeeding because 372 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 5: there's something about that coach that special And given that 373 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:57,399 Speaker 5: Josh McDaniels was what it seems now a very unpopular 374 00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:00,360 Speaker 5: coach in that locker room, in at least ways question, 375 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,800 Speaker 5: is Antoyo Pierce just the guy who's not Josh McDaniels 376 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 5: as opposed to being the coach that actually might have 377 00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:09,680 Speaker 5: something here? So I don't really know he's going to 378 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 5: go big name hunting, But I'm so skeptical. Even although 379 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 5: we just said that they're going to go with the 380 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,080 Speaker 5: Tonyal Pierce of this time, that can change. You know, 381 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:19,640 Speaker 5: they finish out strong. You can't rule it out. I 382 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:23,359 Speaker 5: know that Mark Davis and several people around him feel 383 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,760 Speaker 5: differently now about how they handled the Rich Pissac situation 384 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,000 Speaker 5: a few years ago. But I don't know if that 385 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,239 Speaker 5: alone is going to make them choose the instrum this time. 386 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 5: I think it's got to take a really strong finish 387 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:35,679 Speaker 5: to the twenty twenty three seasons. 388 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 1: Justin let's talk quickly about the Chicago Bears. Of course, 389 00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 1: they begin their December resurgence when there's no pressure in 390 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:49,160 Speaker 1: the sitting in the season's basically decided. How surprised would 391 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 1: you be if they brought back Matt Eberflus and brought 392 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,680 Speaker 1: back Justin Fields to run it back. 393 00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 5: I would be very surprised, and to a certain degree, 394 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,480 Speaker 5: I think the decision that's kind of out of those 395 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:05,680 Speaker 5: two people's hands, because while Fields has played well at times, 396 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:08,919 Speaker 5: keep combind this is his third season under multiple coaching 397 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:13,119 Speaker 5: staff and he still hasn't found consistency. With Eberflus, you know, 398 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:16,399 Speaker 5: you've seen progress, respecially on the defensive side. I'm not 399 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,439 Speaker 5: sure that he's someone who, under different circumstances, would be 400 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,240 Speaker 5: as much on the hot seat as he is. But 401 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,320 Speaker 5: the Bears are going to happen all likelihood the number 402 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 5: one overall pick because they made that trade last off 403 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:32,000 Speaker 5: season for the Panthers first rounder. And it is a 404 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:36,800 Speaker 5: draft that's expected to have multiple franchise quarterbacks. So you 405 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,240 Speaker 5: go back to the Bears, it's a general manager that 406 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 5: did not draft Justin Fields. It is a head coach 407 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,720 Speaker 5: who hasn't, at least in terms of him and the 408 00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,199 Speaker 5: staff developed Justin Field to a degree where you can 409 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:52,600 Speaker 5: feel comfortable moving forward with him giving better options. And 410 00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:54,760 Speaker 5: you could have Caleb willids you could have drafting Wage. 411 00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:56,840 Speaker 5: Every one of those guys you think is the guy. 412 00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 5: It resets the financial clock. Keep in mind, Justin Bield 413 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 5: is about to have his fifth year option to side 414 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 5: it on this upcoming offseason. Whereas you you draft Caleb Williams, 415 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 5: you draft Drake May, that's not decision you have to 416 00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:09,840 Speaker 5: worry about for several years. Those are guys who extremely 417 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 5: high upside. You can bring in, maybe not any coach 418 00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:15,080 Speaker 5: you want, but you're going to have a lot of 419 00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:18,960 Speaker 5: good choices. I think given all of those things, I 420 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,360 Speaker 5: just think Ryan Pols or whomever is making that decision 421 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:23,119 Speaker 5: for the Bears this offseason is going to go to 422 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:26,720 Speaker 5: a different direction, almost irrespective of what happens with Justin 423 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:28,879 Speaker 5: Fields and the Bears down the stretch if they make 424 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:30,879 Speaker 5: the playoffs somehow. And I want to point out that 425 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:32,119 Speaker 5: while there are only a few games out at the 426 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:35,240 Speaker 5: last wildcard spots in the NFC, they're also currently sitting 427 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:38,040 Speaker 5: in the number six pick positions. So this is not 428 00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,800 Speaker 5: a very good football team. I just think that barring 429 00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 5: and almost like a football miracle, that it's going to 430 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:46,639 Speaker 5: be a different head coach, any different quarterbacks in the 431 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:48,080 Speaker 5: Chicago Bears in twenty twenty four. 432 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:52,440 Speaker 1: Good stuff, justin appreciate it as always, joy your holidays, 433 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 1: Love to give you, get you back around when the 434 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:55,040 Speaker 1: playoffs start. 435 00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:57,240 Speaker 6: All right, take care, Bernie. 436 00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:03,919 Speaker 1: Thanks.

Of course. 493 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,200 Speaker 7: That's a tough one. Fifty two. You can't cover that number. 494 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:08,879 Speaker 7: Go home, I should go home. Actually I am home. 495 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:15,920 Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about this year of the backup quarterback. Now, 496 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,080 Speaker 1: I get it. The season is not done, so there 497 00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:21,359 Speaker 1: may be one chapter left. But if this would have 498 00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:25,440 Speaker 1: been a movie, perhaps the foreshadowing and the opening scene 499 00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:28,879 Speaker 1: might have been Aaron Rodgers in the fourth play of 500 00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:31,400 Speaker 1: the season dropping back well, and you know what happened 501 00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,000 Speaker 1: his achilles. And by the way, I was going to 502 00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:37,000 Speaker 1: bring this up with Jason Hershorn, but I elected not to. 503 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:41,359 Speaker 1: Rogers will be medically cleared next week. Okay, do I 504 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,119 Speaker 1: think you'll see the field, not in game action, but 505 00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:46,480 Speaker 1: I'm told to be medically cleared and I'm scratching my 506 00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:49,800 Speaker 1: head on that one. But after Rogers, they felt like 507 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:56,240 Speaker 1: Domino's Joe Burrow, Justin Herbert, Daniel Jones, the Shawn Watson, 508 00:26:56,640 --> 00:27:03,399 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins, Anthony Richardson. Can he Pickett second? Your quarterback? 509 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:07,160 Speaker 1: He went ankles, he went, He underwent ankle surgery last month. 510 00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:12,320 Speaker 1: He can't play right now. Right Even Mac Jones has departed, 511 00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:15,640 Speaker 1: Bailey's Appy, Jimmy g has gone, Aidan O'Connell. You get 512 00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:20,960 Speaker 1: the picture. But what's interesting is some of these backup 513 00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:26,320 Speaker 1: quarterbacks are genuinely making a name for themselves. Jake Browning, 514 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:31,480 Speaker 1: who headed into today's game against Minnesota, and I thought, 515 00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:35,240 Speaker 1: again when it mattered most fourth quarter, one hundred and 516 00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:39,440 Speaker 1: sixty six yards, two touchdowns. Yeah, he's got a good 517 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:41,520 Speaker 1: supporting cast around it, but you kind of have to 518 00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:43,400 Speaker 1: have that if you're gonna win the National Football League. 519 00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:46,720 Speaker 1: Browning was solid in his first start against the Steelers, 520 00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:49,920 Speaker 1: except I get it, they only scored ten points in 521 00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:52,800 Speaker 1: a six point loss, but then the week later they 522 00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:55,400 Speaker 1: put up thirty four points on the board. They save 523 00:27:55,480 --> 00:28:00,160 Speaker 1: their season over Jacksonville. They follow up today with another wined. 524 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:03,520 Speaker 1: He wasn't great against the Colts, but he threw a 525 00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:07,800 Speaker 1: pick six, showed tremendous resolve, and he came back and 526 00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:11,120 Speaker 1: tied the score. Where am I going with this? I'm 527 00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:14,880 Speaker 1: intrigued to see what Jake Browning can do. Cincinnati might 528 00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:18,119 Speaker 1: be a playoff team. How about Tommy DeVito? Yeah, of 529 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:20,280 Speaker 1: course I'm Italian, I'm calibras. I get a kick out 530 00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:22,800 Speaker 1: of this. Although and you know dan or Lasky Bills, 531 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,520 Speaker 1: Oh you go ovu. You look stupid. Okay, when you 532 00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:28,919 Speaker 1: do that, it knock yourself out. But DeVito's really a 533 00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:31,240 Speaker 1: good story, a local kid make good. But you gotta 534 00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:35,199 Speaker 1: love his intangibles. He has showed some poise and tight situations. 535 00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:37,320 Speaker 1: Can he keep it going against Sunday? I don't know 536 00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:40,360 Speaker 1: what does it matter? The Giants are done? But Tommy 537 00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:45,320 Speaker 1: DeVito is now damn near a household name Gardner Minshew, 538 00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:48,960 Speaker 1: who's on about his fourteen and he went from what 539 00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:51,920 Speaker 1: Washington State to East Carolina or maybe the other way around. 540 00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:54,040 Speaker 1: He's a bit of a GluN slinger. He's at his 541 00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:58,240 Speaker 1: ups and downs. But Gardner Minshew all of a sudden, 542 00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:00,920 Speaker 1: and this is why I think Shane Steike should maybe 543 00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:03,760 Speaker 1: be Coach of the Year. Is frankly getting it done 544 00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:08,560 Speaker 1: for the Indianapolis Colts. And I thought they looked pretty 545 00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:12,480 Speaker 1: impressive today. Now I'm not real high on Bailey Zappy 546 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,240 Speaker 1: and he benefited from coming off one of the best 547 00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:18,120 Speaker 1: games of his career through three touchdowns in the first 548 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:21,320 Speaker 1: half when they beat the Steelers last Thursday night. But 549 00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:24,080 Speaker 1: unfortunately that might be as good as it gets. The 550 00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:27,320 Speaker 1: Pats finished with four very challenging games. We'll see how 551 00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:31,720 Speaker 1: they if he starts Sunday, how he fares against Kansas City. 552 00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:34,960 Speaker 1: Mitchter Whisky. You all know about him. I don't know 553 00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:37,920 Speaker 1: what the hell's gone gotten into mister Bisky, But again, 554 00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:42,200 Speaker 1: he is part of this backup quarterback miss Booka. How 555 00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:47,160 Speaker 1: about Nick Mullins. I he has surprised me. He has 556 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:52,040 Speaker 1: seventeen starts under his belt. He's been, you know, very average, 557 00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:55,320 Speaker 1: but I gotta tell you he looked pretty good. He 558 00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:57,560 Speaker 1: kept his team in position to win, stake them to 559 00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:01,400 Speaker 1: a two touchdown lead. I like Brian Flores defense. Why 560 00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:04,000 Speaker 1: they keep losing games in the last couple of minutes 561 00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:08,560 Speaker 1: is beyond me. Then, of course, Aidan O'Connell kid out 562 00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:11,440 Speaker 1: of Purdue. I don't think he's gonna be an NFL starter. 563 00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:17,360 Speaker 1: Heading into the game against the Chargers Thursday night, he'd 564 00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:20,360 Speaker 1: only thrown four touchdowns against seven interceptions all year. Six 565 00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:23,680 Speaker 1: point five yards per attempt. Not great. He's got to 566 00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:25,400 Speaker 1: pick up his game over the next month to be 567 00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:27,680 Speaker 1: in the mix to be considered as a starter next season. 568 00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:30,560 Speaker 1: He's got to cut down on turnovers. But he does compete, 569 00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:33,440 Speaker 1: and I think he's a good guy around in the 570 00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:36,040 Speaker 1: locker room. Eastern Stick another kid out of North Dakota 571 00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:41,920 Speaker 1: State that also produced Carson Wentz and Trey Lance. You know, 572 00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:45,120 Speaker 1: he's he's like Forrest Gump. You don't know what you're 573 00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:48,160 Speaker 1: gonna get. It's like a box of chocolates. He's throwing 574 00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:52,640 Speaker 1: twenty five passes, you know. And and when we again 575 00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:56,000 Speaker 1: based on his past, he looks like he knows his 576 00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,680 Speaker 1: way around the position because he threw eighty eight touchdown 577 00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:01,560 Speaker 1: passes in North Dakota State. But the truth of the 578 00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:05,000 Speaker 1: matter is he is not real accurate, and that's not 579 00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:08,560 Speaker 1: a good sign. But again, and he's somewhat mobile. But 580 00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:12,000 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, now this is your new NFL, 581 00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:16,520 Speaker 1: at least for now, the backup quarterback league. Like you 582 00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:21,000 Speaker 1: heard Martin say, four of them play it today. There's 583 00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:24,800 Speaker 1: one quarterback I haven't mentioned, and I want to talk 584 00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:29,280 Speaker 1: about him because well, he was sitting on a sofa 585 00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:33,840 Speaker 1: about a month and a half ago and he was 586 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:36,800 Speaker 1: trying out for TV gigs, and all of a sudden, 587 00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:40,120 Speaker 1: this thirty eight year old has divied father time and 588 00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:43,600 Speaker 1: he's leading his team to the doorstep of the playoffs. 589 00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:47,560 Speaker 1: We've got to talk about him.

Coming up midnight, Mark Medina, Medina Magic. 608 00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:46,440 Speaker 1: Pistons lost again by thirty two tonight to the Philadelphia Sixers. 609 00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:52,000 Speaker 1: They're now two and twenty four. Forty years ago the 610 00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:56,560 Speaker 1: Philadelphia seventy six Ers finished nine to seventy three. Could 611 00:32:56,600 --> 00:33:00,600 Speaker 1: the Pistons break that record and win less games as possible? 612 00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:04,000 Speaker 1: That six Ers team is actually four and fifty eight 613 00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,600 Speaker 1: on Valentine's Day, but they got hot with two weeks 614 00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:10,080 Speaker 1: to go in the season, went five and two down 615 00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:13,880 Speaker 1: the stretch and ended up with nine wins. But I digress. 616 00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:17,600 Speaker 1: The Cleveland Browns, well, they need two more wins to 617 00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:20,000 Speaker 1: be at nine wins. They have a thirty eight year 618 00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:24,280 Speaker 1: old quarterback who's defied logic defied Father time. He's got 619 00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:27,000 Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns knocking on the door of the playoffs. 620 00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:31,320 Speaker 1: I'm talking about Joe Flacco, the man who in his 621 00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:36,360 Speaker 1: prime had the mobility of an upright vacuum cleaner. But 622 00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:38,840 Speaker 1: he does have a good arm. He does have a 623 00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:43,680 Speaker 1: good arm, and that has actually revved up that Browns offense. 624 00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:47,120 Speaker 1: They defeated the Jacksonville Jaguars, who started a well, he 625 00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:50,520 Speaker 1: was kind of a hobbled Trevorer Lawrence thirty one twenty 626 00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:52,959 Speaker 1: seven last week. So not Actually, the Browns are eight 627 00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:56,120 Speaker 1: and five currently the fifth seed in the AFC, technically 628 00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:59,440 Speaker 1: still in the hunt for division championship. Technically see it. 629 00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:02,920 Speaker 1: All the teams clustered together with seven and six records 630 00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:07,280 Speaker 1: in the AFC. Fortunately, Cleveland's got eight wins. Joe Flacco 631 00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:11,520 Speaker 1: stepped in for the injury Deshaun Watson and Dorian Thompson Robinson, 632 00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:15,239 Speaker 1: and even with Robinson now healthy, head coach Kevin Stefanski 633 00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:19,160 Speaker 1: has said, Hey, Joe Flacco, he's my starter for the 634 00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:24,200 Speaker 1: rest of the season. Now. I will not take anything 635 00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:28,200 Speaker 1: away from Joe Flacco's performance just because Trevor Lawrence had 636 00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:30,920 Speaker 1: a bad ankle last week, had had nothing to do 637 00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:34,239 Speaker 1: with Flacco passing for three hundred and eleven yards and 638 00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:39,800 Speaker 1: three touchdowns. And you know his best plays. He launches 639 00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:42,839 Speaker 1: balls fifty yards in the air. Jakobe Chones streaking down 640 00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:46,799 Speaker 1: the field. Well, that was ten years ago against the Broncos. 641 00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:50,719 Speaker 1: What he's doing now, timing roots, A couple did go 642 00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:54,719 Speaker 1: for long touchdowns. He put David Joko to work six receptions, 643 00:34:55,400 --> 00:35:01,839 Speaker 1: ninety one yards and two scores. Telling somebody three years 644 00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:05,880 Speaker 1: ago that Joe Flacco might be a better quarterback than 645 00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:10,120 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson, you would be drug tested. It was implausible then, 646 00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:14,000 Speaker 1: It would have been impossible. Now that's exactly where we 647 00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:18,080 Speaker 1: are in twenty twenty three. Joe Flacco has a few 648 00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:22,320 Speaker 1: gray flecks in his beard, but he looks pretty damn 649 00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:27,640 Speaker 1: good if you're being honest. Week thirteen, Flacco played well 650 00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:29,799 Speaker 1: enough to keep the Browns within one point of the 651 00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:32,799 Speaker 1: red hot Los Angeles Rams until he under threw a 652 00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:36,840 Speaker 1: DP pass to Elijah Moura. That passes intercepted, who returned 653 00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:42,600 Speaker 1: deep into Cleveland territory, and that cost the Browns the game. However, 654 00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:45,480 Speaker 1: and that's part of the deal here. Turnovers are part 655 00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:50,040 Speaker 1: of the deal with Joe Flacco. That's undeniable. Even when 656 00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:52,279 Speaker 1: he was at his best with the Ravens years ago 657 00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:54,880 Speaker 1: and he was under center when they won a Super Bowl. 658 00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:57,560 Speaker 1: If he was a starter for the whole season, he 659 00:35:57,560 --> 00:36:01,000 Speaker 1: would inevitably throw a double digit intersetd through one of 660 00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:03,960 Speaker 1: the second quarter against the Jags last week, Browns were 661 00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:07,239 Speaker 1: in Jack's territory of fourteen to nothing that could have 662 00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:10,600 Speaker 1: put the game out of reach. So listen, I'm not 663 00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:13,680 Speaker 1: saying he's ready for the Hall of Fame, but the 664 00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:17,000 Speaker 1: Browns certainly know that by giving Joe flack With the 665 00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:20,080 Speaker 1: job for the rest of the season. Yes, he's going 666 00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:23,440 Speaker 1: to get the ball away at times. Then remember he 667 00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:25,800 Speaker 1: started three games for the New York Jets last season 668 00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:28,719 Speaker 1: while Zach Wilson was recovering from an eat surgery, and 669 00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:31,640 Speaker 1: in his final start he only completed like fifty percent 670 00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:33,520 Speaker 1: of his passes through two picks and lost two of 671 00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:36,040 Speaker 1: us three fumbles. Jets need even bother to bring him 672 00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:39,360 Speaker 1: back on the roster. After Aaron Rodgers' injury this season, 673 00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:44,520 Speaker 1: looks it's almost impossible to replace the starting quarterback. What 674 00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:47,960 Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins did in nineteen seventy two also defied logic. 675 00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:50,920 Speaker 1: Bob Greasy was their starter until Week six when he 676 00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:53,760 Speaker 1: went down. Then a thirty eight year old Earl Morales 677 00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:56,560 Speaker 1: from Mayor thirty eight years old, comes off the bench, 678 00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:59,399 Speaker 1: leads the Dolphins to the Super Bowl and they ended 679 00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:04,160 Speaker 1: up sevent and oh that's rare. It is very hard 680 00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:09,600 Speaker 1: to replace a starting quarterback. And one of the reasons 681 00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:12,680 Speaker 1: Flacco has looked so good is because, if I'm being 682 00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:16,000 Speaker 1: honest to Sean Watson barely resembled looking like a starting 683 00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:19,200 Speaker 1: quarterback for most of twenty twenty three. Combine that with 684 00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:21,160 Speaker 1: losing Nick Chubb in Week two for the rest of 685 00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:24,279 Speaker 1: the season, and that was the game right after their 686 00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:28,040 Speaker 1: start right tackle Jack Conklin had a season ending injury. 687 00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:32,960 Speaker 1: The Browns, they're doing this with duck tape and glue 688 00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:36,000 Speaker 1: and paper cliffs, and all of a sudden they're on 689 00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:38,879 Speaker 1: the hunt there eight and five. So here you have it. 690 00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:43,279 Speaker 1: Flacco's job is his for the next few games. He 691 00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:47,280 Speaker 1: is being asked to keep the offense from falling apart. 692 00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:51,200 Speaker 1: He's a veteran quarterback. He does have a good arm. 693 00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:54,880 Speaker 1: In the short term, I think he can handle the responsibility. 694 00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:58,600 Speaker 1: Even if he puts up an inevitable stinker that went 695 00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:00,719 Speaker 1: against the Jags last week. He gives the brown some 696 00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:05,040 Speaker 1: cushion in the postseason race. And by the way, and 697 00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:08,960 Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to this game. We're ten hours and 698 00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:12,359 Speaker 1: eight minutes away from the Browns hosting what looks like 699 00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:14,319 Speaker 1: to be the red hot Bears. Now, these teams haven't 700 00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:17,160 Speaker 1: played in three years. The last time they did play, 701 00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:22,640 Speaker 1: Miles Garrett had five sacks and Justin Fields had six completions. Now, 702 00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:25,680 Speaker 1: since returning from his injury in Week eleven, Justin Fields 703 00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:29,040 Speaker 1: is completing sixty six percent of his passes. Katie, keep 704 00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:33,040 Speaker 1: that going. He's gonna face a big test operating against 705 00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:36,480 Speaker 1: the Browns swarming defensive line. But gave it up to 706 00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:39,399 Speaker 1: the Bears. This will be a genuine test for Joe 707 00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:43,759 Speaker 1: Flacco on Sunday. The Bears. I'd be surprised if they 708 00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:46,440 Speaker 1: don't have at least one or two takeaways. That's what 709 00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:50,600 Speaker 1: they've been doing. They've had eight takeaways in their last 710 00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:54,200 Speaker 1: three games. And again, as I just mentioned, they're facing 711 00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:58,400 Speaker 1: a Browns offense that's been prone to turnovers. Joe Flacco, 712 00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:02,360 Speaker 1: for his success, has thrown at least one interception in 713 00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:05,440 Speaker 1: each of his two starts and also the Browns fumble 714 00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:08,600 Speaker 1: twice last week, So this is going to be a 715 00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:10,880 Speaker 1: slug it out game, a fistfight, and a phone booth 716 00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:15,239 Speaker 1: couple of good defenses. What do I think happens. I 717 00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:17,960 Speaker 1: think the Browns get them. It feels like a twenty 718 00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:23,040 Speaker 1: one to seventeen tech game Browns, and I think based 719 00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:25,360 Speaker 1: on the fact that it's on the road, and based 720 00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:28,200 Speaker 1: on the fact that I think Kevin Stefanski and the 721 00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:30,719 Speaker 1: Cleveland defense will be ready for what the Bears bring 722 00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:34,120 Speaker 1: them there. It's a very predictable offense. Drop back, hot 723 00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:36,200 Speaker 1: reeds covered. I'll just take off a run that she's 724 00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:39,319 Speaker 1: not sustainable. It's a highlight reel, but it's not sustainable. 725 00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:43,200 Speaker 1: We'll see if Joe Flacco can keep it going. Coming up, 726 00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:47,720 Speaker 1: Mark Medina, Medina Magic. Plenty of news in the NBA 727 00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:51,239 Speaker 1: this week, especially one particular name.

Hi, Mark Medina, 740 00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:42,480 Speaker 1: our Foxsports Radio NBA guru for a little Medina magic. 741 00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:46,680 Speaker 1: And Mark, every time we sign off the week before, 742 00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:49,839 Speaker 1: I wonder what will the news cycle bring us the 743 00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:53,440 Speaker 1: following week. And it's uncanny how it never seems to fail. 744 00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:55,719 Speaker 1: And I'm going to get to the big news out 745 00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:58,200 Speaker 1: of Golden State in just a minute, but I want 746 00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:00,840 Speaker 1: to talk about the Pistons in all seriousness. You know, 747 00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:03,960 Speaker 1: fifty years ago, Mark, the Philadelphia seventy six ers were 748 00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:06,680 Speaker 1: nine and seventy three, and believe it or not, they 749 00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:10,400 Speaker 1: were four and fifty eight on. I think it was 750 00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:14,000 Speaker 1: like right around Valentine's Day. They got hot down the 751 00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:15,919 Speaker 1: stretch it went five and two. Where am I going 752 00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:19,080 Speaker 1: with this? I realized, MONTI Williams stick over a Phoenix 753 00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:21,239 Speaker 1: team in twenty nineteen they'd only won nineteen games and 754 00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:25,600 Speaker 1: turn them around. But what is happening in Detroit, Mark 755 00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:27,560 Speaker 1: because they're losing by thirty points every night. 756 00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:30,480 Speaker 6: Yeah, it's terrible. I mean, they have a twenty three 757 00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:34,840 Speaker 6: game losing streak, and I believe that the longest losing 758 00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:37,520 Speaker 6: streak in NBA history. They might actually tie that pretty soon. 759 00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:42,360 Speaker 6: The Cleveland Cavaliers lost twenty four consecutive games on November tenth, 760 00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:44,600 Speaker 6: nineteen eighty two. You don't want to be in those 761 00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:47,400 Speaker 6: kind of record books. And while we did, we I 762 00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:49,719 Speaker 6: don't think anyone was under any illusion that they would 763 00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:51,680 Speaker 6: be a playoff team because they're a young team. But 764 00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:55,560 Speaker 6: you can't be an embarrassment like this, especially because he 765 00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:58,400 Speaker 6: became the highest paid coach at the time when he 766 00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:00,600 Speaker 6: got that contract, and they have a lot of good, 767 00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:04,080 Speaker 6: you know, young players, whether it's Kay Cuttningham j and Ivy, 768 00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:07,640 Speaker 6: et cetera. And as much as you know the percentage 769 00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:12,440 Speaker 6: blame pie, I go with the personnel. Minney Williams has 770 00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:16,239 Speaker 6: got to take some responsibility here because he's coming from Pedigree, 771 00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:20,120 Speaker 6: having some success in Phoenix in New Orleans at least 772 00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:24,000 Speaker 6: for a year. One The baseline expectation is he's laying 773 00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:26,960 Speaker 6: the foundation. He's at least getting guys to play hard 774 00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:29,719 Speaker 6: and play the right way. And even if he's been 775 00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:32,960 Speaker 6: preaching those things, players just haven't been buying it. It's 776 00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:36,560 Speaker 6: one thing not to execute it consistently. That's a young team, 777 00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:38,799 Speaker 6: but for them to not even play hard, it's just 778 00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:39,360 Speaker 6: beyond me. 779 00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:42,920 Speaker 1: Now, good stuff to unpact there. Because Montey Williams turned 780 00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:46,319 Speaker 1: down Tom glors, Gors flew to La put seventy eight 781 00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:48,200 Speaker 1: million dollars in front of him, was happy to do it. 782 00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:51,480 Speaker 1: He believed Monty Williams was the best blend of developing 783 00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:55,239 Speaker 1: young talent and someone who'd had, you know, experience with 784 00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:59,480 Speaker 1: a winning franchise and building a winning franchise. Interestingly enough, though, 785 00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:02,840 Speaker 1: u Manti Williams also said he was enticed by the 786 00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:04,799 Speaker 1: Pistons job when he finally took it, because they do 787 00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:07,120 Speaker 1: have a lot of young talent. But you just pointed 788 00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:10,960 Speaker 1: it out, they're not competitive. What is the internal dialogue 789 00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:13,040 Speaker 1: behind closed doors in Detroit? 790 00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:16,040 Speaker 6: I think there's a lot of frustration because they're terrible 791 00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:19,080 Speaker 6: in every single way. They allow an average of one 792 00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:21,840 Speaker 6: hundred and eighteen points a game, and they only score 793 00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:24,720 Speaker 6: one hundred and eight that the mat doesn't work well there. 794 00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:27,080 Speaker 6: They're one of the worst defensive teams in the league. 795 00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:29,880 Speaker 6: They're also one of the worst offensive teams in the league. 796 00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:33,399 Speaker 6: And Kay Cunningham he couldn't hit a shot out by 797 00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:35,759 Speaker 6: the barn here, even though he put up a lot 798 00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:40,040 Speaker 6: of great numbers hoped last season. So it's just confounding 799 00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:43,400 Speaker 6: across the board. And again, if these were games where 800 00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:48,280 Speaker 6: it's executional mistakes, you know they're losing close games. That's happened, 801 00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:51,520 Speaker 6: that's what happens to young teams. But to get to 802 00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:55,680 Speaker 6: be getting blown out every single night, it's just unacceptable. 803 00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:59,240 Speaker 6: And to be clear here, like Matty Williams's job is safe. 804 00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:03,560 Speaker 6: It's very rare, if at all, that a coach gets 805 00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:07,040 Speaker 6: fired first year into the league. But this doesn't set 806 00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:10,560 Speaker 6: a good foundation for entering next season when you know 807 00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:13,280 Speaker 6: things will be a lot more screwtinized even more. 808 00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:17,520 Speaker 1: Talking with Mark Medina Medina Magic every Saturday night midnight 809 00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:19,960 Speaker 1: on the Bernie Friddle Show, all right, we're going to 810 00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:23,359 Speaker 1: dive into this deep. It was only a month ago 811 00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:26,279 Speaker 1: I was railing on this and that is what I'm 812 00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:29,719 Speaker 1: calling the body of work for Draymond Green. Lo and 813 00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:34,839 Speaker 1: behold this past week another situation. First of all, they 814 00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:40,480 Speaker 1: are characterizing this mark as an indefinite suspension. Define indefinite, 815 00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:42,600 Speaker 1: because if it's not the rest of the season, then 816 00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:43,279 Speaker 1: I throw a flag. 817 00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:48,719 Speaker 6: Your thoughts, Yeah, well, indefinite suspension. Indefinite means we don't know. 818 00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:48,960 Speaker 5: Now. 819 00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:52,360 Speaker 6: I think that the very least baseline is it's going 820 00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:54,680 Speaker 6: to be more than five games, because that's the number 821 00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:57,960 Speaker 6: of games Raymond Green missed after putting in Rudy Gobert 822 00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:01,400 Speaker 6: in a chokehold, and so clearly because it just happened 823 00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:04,800 Speaker 6: literally a month ago. The idea is this punishment serious? 824 00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:08,960 Speaker 6: But it's very much open ended, and it partly depends 825 00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:13,440 Speaker 6: on how well Raymond Green addresses his behavior behind the scenes, 826 00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:18,000 Speaker 6: and you know, talking to the Warriors this week, Warriors 827 00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:20,239 Speaker 6: she and Mike Dunley Vy Junior said it was a 828 00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:26,480 Speaker 6: combination of team collaboration, league collaboration with Draymond and his representatives, 829 00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:29,920 Speaker 6: and so that's where the rubbers going to meet the 830 00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:33,480 Speaker 6: road here, Bernie on is this a matter of them 831 00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:36,520 Speaker 6: just saying okay, Draymond come back when we absolutely need you, 832 00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:39,560 Speaker 6: or will they take this seriously? And I know, knowing 833 00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:44,760 Speaker 6: the Warriors, well, they've never been thrilled with Raymond Green, 834 00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:47,000 Speaker 6: and they never wanted to be in a position where 835 00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:50,920 Speaker 6: it looks like they're enabling him. But it always felt 836 00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:55,120 Speaker 6: like they knew they had the talent the locker room 837 00:45:55,160 --> 00:45:58,640 Speaker 6: to absorb it. And this season they frankly don't because 838 00:45:58,719 --> 00:46:02,319 Speaker 6: Klay Thompson Andrew Wig they've gotten in shooting slumps up 839 00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:07,319 Speaker 6: until actually today's game, and then they don't have a 840 00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:10,120 Speaker 6: lot of those veteran players like Andrey Widala to keep 841 00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:13,080 Speaker 6: them in check. And so I really think when you 842 00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:15,799 Speaker 6: connect the dots here where they're talking about, hey, he 843 00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:19,920 Speaker 6: needs help and all this stuff, one he might finally 844 00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:23,719 Speaker 6: be getting some anger management. But two, I think this 845 00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:26,799 Speaker 6: is really his last chance that if he doesn't make 846 00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:29,880 Speaker 6: amends on this, this is going to be the final straw. 847 00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:33,759 Speaker 6: So as much as the Warriors have gotten some criticism, 848 00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:36,320 Speaker 6: and you know, some of it's fair because Draymond continues 849 00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:39,480 Speaker 6: to do this that they're handling him with kid gloves, 850 00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:43,040 Speaker 6: I think my sense when you connect the dots on 851 00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:46,480 Speaker 6: how they're talking about him that they're separating his recent 852 00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:50,160 Speaker 6: suspensions versus you know, the usual argue with the refs 853 00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:53,279 Speaker 6: skeeto tech in recent seasons, and the fact that they're 854 00:46:53,320 --> 00:46:55,760 Speaker 6: talking about how he needs help. This is the last 855 00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:59,440 Speaker 6: lifeline they're giving him, and if he doesn't pass this, 856 00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:02,160 Speaker 6: then I want to be surprised if they trade him. 857 00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:05,839 Speaker 1: I remember saying definitively in November when we talked it's 858 00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:09,560 Speaker 1: a month ago, November fourteenth, that people don't escape their 859 00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:11,440 Speaker 1: nature as much as you think they will. This is 860 00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:16,759 Speaker 1: Draymond's fourth suspension and counter year twenty twenty three. Remember 861 00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:19,400 Speaker 1: he got a sixteenth technical back in March that he 862 00:47:19,480 --> 00:47:22,960 Speaker 1: had the altercation with Demonis Sabonis when he stapped on him. 863 00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:25,360 Speaker 1: Then Rudy Gobert a month ago now this and he 864 00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:27,800 Speaker 1: was quoted as saying about a week ago quote, you 865 00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:30,719 Speaker 1: don't become what I've become if you can't control your emotions. 866 00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:33,560 Speaker 1: You don't win four championships if you can't control your emotions. 867 00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:37,440 Speaker 1: He's saying that I can control my emotions. He's defiant. 868 00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:40,120 Speaker 1: What is going to be different this time? If you 869 00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:42,959 Speaker 1: don't make this really hurt like he's done this year 870 00:47:43,200 --> 00:47:45,920 Speaker 1: and will see in November twenty twenty four. There is 871 00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:48,600 Speaker 1: nothing I believe that will happen that will cause him 872 00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:50,920 Speaker 1: to learn his lesson, which leads me to the question, 873 00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:55,840 Speaker 1: he's at a crossroads with the Golden State Warriors. Irrespective 874 00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:59,000 Speaker 1: of what happens, you expect Draymond to be back next year. 875 00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:02,520 Speaker 6: I expect him to be back next year if he 876 00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:06,600 Speaker 6: avoids getting these kind of suspensions. I think the complexity 877 00:48:06,640 --> 00:48:08,960 Speaker 6: with Draymond, and when I'm talking about this, it's not 878 00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:11,480 Speaker 6: about saying that he's misunderstood. We know who he is 879 00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:14,120 Speaker 6: at this point, but when when we are talking about 880 00:48:14,160 --> 00:48:18,680 Speaker 6: the technical foul era of Draymond Green and in fairness, 881 00:48:18,719 --> 00:48:21,960 Speaker 6: he would figure out how to control his behavior in 882 00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:25,560 Speaker 6: the sense of knowing which refs gave him more rope 883 00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:28,200 Speaker 6: and which didn't, and he would toe the line accordingly. 884 00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:32,000 Speaker 6: I think what's most disappointing about these suspensions in that 885 00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:36,560 Speaker 6: is that you know, with Rudy Gobert and with Joseph Nrkets, 886 00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:40,960 Speaker 6: this is beyond Draymond being Draymond, Like these are you know, 887 00:48:41,040 --> 00:48:45,040 Speaker 6: physical acts of violence. Frankly, and when we talk about 888 00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:48,439 Speaker 6: you know, someone of Draymond's caliber, though you don't want 889 00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:51,759 Speaker 6: to contain him too much, because this is what makes 890 00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:53,759 Speaker 6: him such a great player, and you want to play 891 00:48:53,800 --> 00:48:58,160 Speaker 6: with emotions. I'm sorry that doesn't cut it with these incidents. 892 00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:01,880 Speaker 6: Because of this reason, If we're going to launch Raymond 893 00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:05,839 Speaker 6: Green for being such an intelligent basketball player that can 894 00:49:05,880 --> 00:49:09,800 Speaker 6: defend on five positions and playmake and do all these 895 00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:14,120 Speaker 6: things by making quick decisions on the court in real time, 896 00:49:15,200 --> 00:49:18,120 Speaker 6: he should be able to do these things of not 897 00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:21,200 Speaker 6: punching someone in the face and not putting someone in 898 00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:25,239 Speaker 6: a choke hold. So it shouldn't be complex. His personality, 899 00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:29,160 Speaker 6: the way he's ticked is complex, but shouldn't be difficult 900 00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:32,960 Speaker 6: for him to tell himself, don't do these things because 901 00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:34,640 Speaker 6: it's obviously unacceptable. 902 00:49:36,120 --> 00:49:39,719 Speaker 1: Mark. It was reported that right around the time the 903 00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:44,200 Speaker 1: NBA was leveling the indefinite suspension, I think Green until 904 00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:47,400 Speaker 1: reporters he had intended to call Nurkin to apologize. Do 905 00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:49,840 Speaker 1: you know if he has in fact done that. 906 00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:53,840 Speaker 6: I do not know if he's done that. When the 907 00:49:54,320 --> 00:49:57,840 Speaker 6: Worriers are in town in LA against the Clippers, he 908 00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:01,400 Speaker 6: was not a shoot around. Excuse me, he was not 909 00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:05,440 Speaker 6: at shoot around, even though he's allowed to practice. I 910 00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:08,319 Speaker 6: think in the short term. He's being asked to stay 911 00:50:08,320 --> 00:50:11,920 Speaker 6: away for both sides, and he's not allowed to be 912 00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:14,799 Speaker 6: at the arena because of his suspension. So I don't 913 00:50:14,840 --> 00:50:16,520 Speaker 6: know if he's called him or not. I know, at 914 00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:22,560 Speaker 6: least publicly, he's expressed contrition, but look, words only mean 915 00:50:22,680 --> 00:50:27,799 Speaker 6: so much. But I wouldn't be surprised if Draymond does 916 00:50:27,880 --> 00:50:32,040 Speaker 6: apologize to him directly. Now, if Nurkic accepts it or not, 917 00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:34,879 Speaker 6: it's totally up to him. I mean, if I'm him, 918 00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:37,400 Speaker 6: I would totally understand why he wanted want to accept 919 00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:40,600 Speaker 6: that apology. But I think the thing in fairness to 920 00:50:40,719 --> 00:50:43,960 Speaker 6: Draymond is that if he does feel like he did 921 00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:48,239 Speaker 6: something wrong, and sometimes he's stubborn about this, but if 922 00:50:48,239 --> 00:50:51,360 Speaker 6: he does feel like he did something wrong, he will apologize. 923 00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:54,919 Speaker 6: He apologized to Kevin Durant when he unloaded on him 924 00:50:55,239 --> 00:50:58,279 Speaker 6: when they had their little argument a few years ago. 925 00:50:58,400 --> 00:51:03,880 Speaker 6: He hadn't apologized to Jordan Pool directly because he didn't feel, 926 00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:08,160 Speaker 6: you know, for whatever reason things behind the scenes that 927 00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:11,480 Speaker 6: he owed him an apology. Now, he did express contrition 928 00:51:11,600 --> 00:51:14,760 Speaker 6: publicly to him and his family and all that stuff, 929 00:51:14,760 --> 00:51:17,840 Speaker 6: but that's different behind the scenes, so as it pertains 930 00:51:17,840 --> 00:51:20,640 Speaker 6: some nurkice. I don't know if he's done that yet, 931 00:51:20,680 --> 00:51:24,360 Speaker 6: but I would expect he would do it only because 932 00:51:24,840 --> 00:51:29,440 Speaker 6: he immediately, you know, recognized that this was an obvious mistake. 933 00:51:30,239 --> 00:51:34,080 Speaker 1: Mark and Selso had been reported that before Draymond Green 934 00:51:34,160 --> 00:51:35,920 Speaker 1: can return to the Core, he's going to have to 935 00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:40,560 Speaker 1: meet certain league and team requirements to be eligible to return. 936 00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:42,360 Speaker 1: Is anybody define what those are? 937 00:51:42,920 --> 00:51:43,120 Speaker 4: No. 938 00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:46,280 Speaker 6: I've asked around, and you know, usually with these things, 939 00:51:46,360 --> 00:51:49,520 Speaker 6: you know, they they don't say specifics because of privacy matters, 940 00:51:50,680 --> 00:51:53,359 Speaker 6: So I don't think that we'll ever get specifics. But 941 00:51:53,400 --> 00:51:56,479 Speaker 6: when you connect the dots here, you know, when they're 942 00:51:56,480 --> 00:51:58,640 Speaker 6: talking about, hey, you need to take care of himself 943 00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:02,279 Speaker 6: and all this stuff, I want to be surprised if 944 00:52:02,280 --> 00:52:06,840 Speaker 6: involves you know, anger management, you know, maybe talking to therapists, 945 00:52:06,840 --> 00:52:10,480 Speaker 6: et cetera. But you know, because of the sensitivity of 946 00:52:10,520 --> 00:52:15,120 Speaker 6: those things, I understand why they won't divulge you know, specifics. 947 00:52:15,200 --> 00:52:19,200 Speaker 6: But to it, man, I do have concerns, you know, 948 00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:22,279 Speaker 6: not just with Draymond, but in John Morant's case over 949 00:52:22,360 --> 00:52:26,200 Speaker 6: an entirely different set of circumstances. But when parties invoke 950 00:52:26,440 --> 00:52:30,080 Speaker 6: you know, mental health issues, it's a very serious and 951 00:52:30,200 --> 00:52:33,600 Speaker 6: understandable thing that we should all have empathy for for 952 00:52:33,680 --> 00:52:36,680 Speaker 6: people that are struggling with that. But I do have 953 00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:40,880 Speaker 6: concerns when I've heard about teams talking about these things 954 00:52:40,920 --> 00:52:44,719 Speaker 6: that you know, there's some cynicism in me that wonder 955 00:52:44,760 --> 00:52:49,000 Speaker 6: are they hiding behind that talked as a way to shield, 956 00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:53,000 Speaker 6: you know, a specific player from actually being accountable. And 957 00:52:53,040 --> 00:52:55,879 Speaker 6: if that's the case, like that's, you know, shame on them, 958 00:52:55,960 --> 00:52:58,919 Speaker 6: because mental health is a very serious thing. 959 00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:03,000 Speaker 1: So Mark, you notice that little laundry list. I gave 960 00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:07,200 Speaker 1: you the four suspensions in this calendar year alone. I 961 00:53:07,280 --> 00:53:12,000 Speaker 1: omitted intentionally what got the ball rolling the beginning of 962 00:53:12,080 --> 00:53:16,120 Speaker 1: last year when he Draymond punched Jordan Poole at practice 963 00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:20,600 Speaker 1: and Bob Myers and who's longer there and Joe Lacup 964 00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:24,680 Speaker 1: told the league they believe they could appropriately handle the 965 00:53:24,760 --> 00:53:29,840 Speaker 1: situation internally. I think they failed big time. My question 966 00:53:29,960 --> 00:53:34,319 Speaker 1: to you is, you know, whether it's Steve Kerr or Joe, 967 00:53:34,680 --> 00:53:38,240 Speaker 1: you get the point he reports to people they've enabled 968 00:53:38,239 --> 00:53:40,799 Speaker 1: this behavior. Their shorts are and clean either. How much 969 00:53:40,800 --> 00:53:44,360 Speaker 1: would we be calling into question Warriors management for continuing 970 00:53:44,400 --> 00:53:45,319 Speaker 1: to enable this. 971 00:53:46,520 --> 00:53:51,800 Speaker 6: I think it's a fair thing to criticize, but I would, 972 00:53:52,120 --> 00:53:54,960 Speaker 6: you know, outline it this way. I mean, obviously Draymond 973 00:53:55,080 --> 00:53:59,080 Speaker 6: is the biggest offender here, he deserves the most blame. Now, 974 00:53:59,120 --> 00:54:03,240 Speaker 6: as far as the idea that the Warriors enable his behavior, yes, 975 00:54:03,360 --> 00:54:06,240 Speaker 6: they're not perfect. They make mistakes, but I would also 976 00:54:06,440 --> 00:54:10,360 Speaker 6: argue when whether it's with Steve Kerr, the head coach, 977 00:54:10,440 --> 00:54:13,680 Speaker 6: the front office, or how Steph Curry is as a leader, 978 00:54:14,440 --> 00:54:17,919 Speaker 6: I think that the fact that he hasn't been even 979 00:54:18,040 --> 00:54:22,680 Speaker 6: worse is a testament to not only the people involved, 980 00:54:22,680 --> 00:54:25,200 Speaker 6: but the fact that they've been winning basketball games. And 981 00:54:25,640 --> 00:54:29,200 Speaker 6: you know, when you look at Jordan Poole's situation specifically, 982 00:54:30,480 --> 00:54:33,920 Speaker 6: you know, obviously it was a terrible ordeal. The Warriors 983 00:54:33,960 --> 00:54:37,799 Speaker 6: didn't make excuses for why the punch happened. They immediately 984 00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:42,520 Speaker 6: criticized and condemned Raymond fort and defended Jordan Poole. And 985 00:54:42,600 --> 00:54:46,040 Speaker 6: so the relationship was never the same. And Draymond would 986 00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:48,480 Speaker 6: be the first to tell you, hey, the team chemistry 987 00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:51,080 Speaker 6: wasn't good. But I think there is something to be 988 00:54:51,160 --> 00:54:55,240 Speaker 6: said that even though both players have their lockers next 989 00:54:55,239 --> 00:54:57,960 Speaker 6: to each other, and you know they're not going out 990 00:54:57,960 --> 00:55:01,520 Speaker 6: to eat or close friends, but they're cordial enough to 991 00:55:01,600 --> 00:55:04,640 Speaker 6: still coexist. And even though the Warriors came up short 992 00:55:05,160 --> 00:55:07,880 Speaker 6: in the postseason, you know, making to the second round 993 00:55:07,960 --> 00:55:12,560 Speaker 6: under those under that dynamic, I would argue is, you know, 994 00:55:12,800 --> 00:55:14,600 Speaker 6: I don't want to say something to be celebrated, but 995 00:55:14,719 --> 00:55:16,680 Speaker 6: like as an example that it could have been a 996 00:55:16,719 --> 00:55:19,719 Speaker 6: lot worse. And I would also argue that they didn't 997 00:55:19,760 --> 00:55:23,200 Speaker 6: get past the second round because Andrew Wiggins was hurt, 998 00:55:23,320 --> 00:55:26,040 Speaker 6: Kway Thompson didn't shoot the ball well against the Lakers. 999 00:55:26,320 --> 00:55:30,080 Speaker 6: There are a lot more factors than the awkwardness between 1000 00:55:30,280 --> 00:55:36,440 Speaker 6: Draymond Green and Jordan Poole, so as it pertains to now, yeah, 1001 00:55:36,440 --> 00:55:39,760 Speaker 6: look he had two suspensions in less than a month, 1002 00:55:40,520 --> 00:55:45,040 Speaker 6: and you know clearly no one's blameless here. But again, 1003 00:55:45,320 --> 00:55:48,640 Speaker 6: you know, just knowing how the Warriors organization is operating, 1004 00:55:49,120 --> 00:55:51,520 Speaker 6: you know, it's not about oh, there are a culture 1005 00:55:51,640 --> 00:55:54,080 Speaker 6: and everything's kumbaya and they have all the answers in 1006 00:55:54,120 --> 00:55:56,879 Speaker 6: the world. I think part of their culture is more 1007 00:55:56,920 --> 00:56:02,239 Speaker 6: of handling very difficult things, things that happened to any 1008 00:56:02,360 --> 00:56:05,880 Speaker 6: NBA team, And I would say that if these things 1009 00:56:05,960 --> 00:56:09,080 Speaker 6: happened to another NBA team with Raymond in the mix, 1010 00:56:09,560 --> 00:56:12,240 Speaker 6: they would have spiral out of control, even a lot worse. 1011 00:56:12,520 --> 00:56:18,759 Speaker 1: Fair, I would just depart with this one. Raymond made 1012 00:56:18,840 --> 00:56:23,480 Speaker 1: the comment about the chemistry stinking last year, and he 1013 00:56:23,520 --> 00:56:25,279 Speaker 1: caused it. Now he comes out of the gate with 1014 00:56:25,320 --> 00:56:28,080 Speaker 1: an incident in November, an incident in December. So I'm 1015 00:56:28,120 --> 00:56:30,520 Speaker 1: a skeptic. Let's I got about a minute ago. Let's 1016 00:56:30,520 --> 00:56:33,040 Speaker 1: wrap it up on a lighthearted one. How did the 1017 00:56:33,600 --> 00:56:39,160 Speaker 1: whole oscar sway? Yeah, game ball gate end up in 1018 00:56:40,320 --> 00:56:43,160 Speaker 1: if cooler heads prevailed it as every they they sung 1019 00:56:43,239 --> 00:56:44,960 Speaker 1: Kumbaya and hugged it out. 1020 00:56:45,719 --> 00:56:49,000 Speaker 6: It doesn't seem like it, you know, I mean they 1021 00:56:48,800 --> 00:56:51,479 Speaker 6: the Bucks stormed the locker room here. I mean look, 1022 00:56:51,560 --> 00:56:57,920 Speaker 6: oh yeah, I don't know. I haven't obviously played NBA basketball, 1023 00:56:57,920 --> 00:57:00,719 Speaker 6: but it seems like a no brainer that if there's 1024 00:57:00,760 --> 00:57:03,719 Speaker 6: a star player who has a career high, like they 1025 00:57:03,760 --> 00:57:07,080 Speaker 6: get the game ball, that's some nameless rookie that scored 1026 00:57:07,120 --> 00:57:10,480 Speaker 6: his first basket. So like I think the Pacers and 1027 00:57:10,560 --> 00:57:13,600 Speaker 6: Rick Carlile, he's a great coach, great person. That our 1028 00:57:13,640 --> 00:57:18,080 Speaker 6: explanation doesn't fly. So the Bucks had the reason, you know, 1029 00:57:18,400 --> 00:57:21,720 Speaker 6: to feel upset. But it was really confusing though, is 1030 00:57:21,720 --> 00:57:23,960 Speaker 6: when you look at these security footage, or not the 1031 00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:27,200 Speaker 6: security footage, but the game footage. The buck security guard 1032 00:57:27,360 --> 00:57:30,560 Speaker 6: got the game ball, but then Giannis didn't feel like 1033 00:57:30,600 --> 00:57:33,560 Speaker 6: he actually got the real game ball, right, So who knows? 1034 00:57:33,600 --> 00:57:36,680 Speaker 6: I mean that part was confusing, but philosophically, like, I 1035 00:57:36,720 --> 00:57:38,800 Speaker 6: don't know why the Pacers would make such a big 1036 00:57:38,840 --> 00:57:42,040 Speaker 6: deal about a rookie that no one's really ever heard 1037 00:57:42,080 --> 00:57:44,720 Speaker 6: of of getting his first basket, Like who cares? 1038 00:57:46,080 --> 00:57:49,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, fair enough, fair enough, Oscar Sway was decorated to 1039 00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:53,120 Speaker 1: Kentucky but con fair point. And again I guess I 1040 00:57:53,240 --> 00:57:54,720 Speaker 1: was being, of course sarcastic about it. 1041 00:57:54,840 --> 00:57:57,040 Speaker 6: Yeah, I was being a little sarcastic to compare to 1042 00:57:57,080 --> 00:58:00,200 Speaker 6: Gyana's right, Mark. 1043 00:58:00,360 --> 00:58:03,200 Speaker 1: I say it every Saturday when we sign off. Let's 1044 00:58:03,200 --> 00:58:05,400 Speaker 1: see what the news cycle brings this next week. What 1045 00:58:05,440 --> 00:58:07,280 Speaker 1: do you want to bet we'll be scratching our heads again? 1046 00:58:08,280 --> 00:58:10,400 Speaker 6: Who knows? But if you don't mind, I do want 1047 00:58:10,440 --> 00:58:12,640 Speaker 6: to end it on a serious but somewhat is sure 1048 00:58:12,720 --> 00:58:16,240 Speaker 6: hopefully inspiring note. Wish all the best to Cream Abdul. 1049 00:58:16,040 --> 00:58:17,840 Speaker 1: Jabbar for who he broke recovery. 1050 00:58:17,920 --> 00:58:20,560 Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, he broke his heap. He's having surgery. He's 1051 00:58:20,600 --> 00:58:23,320 Speaker 6: seventy six years old. So you just never know how 1052 00:58:23,400 --> 00:58:27,160 Speaker 6: lengthy of a rehab he could have. But thankfully, the host, 1053 00:58:27,320 --> 00:58:30,000 Speaker 6: you know he's been well taken care of and trust 1054 00:58:30,040 --> 00:58:32,040 Speaker 6: that he'll have a good recovery because he takes care 1055 00:58:32,080 --> 00:58:32,560 Speaker 6: of himself. 1056 00:58:32,600 --> 00:58:36,800 Speaker 1: Well yeah, good thoughts. He fell at a function. Good stuff. Mark, 1057 00:58:36,840 --> 00:58:39,280 Speaker 1: appreciate you. We'll see you next Saturday for a little 1058 00:58:39,280 --> 00:58:43,760 Speaker 1: more Medina magic. That's Mark Medina our NBA Fox Sports 1059 00:58:43,880 --> 00:58:47,120 Speaker 1: Radio Gury. You hear him all around the network. Joins 1060 00:58:47,160 --> 00:58:51,120 Speaker 1: me every Saturday night at midnight for a little Medina 1061 00:58:51,320 --> 00:58:54,960 Speaker 1: NBA magic. By the way, coming up at the bottom 1062 00:58:54,960 --> 00:58:57,320 Speaker 1: of the hour, we're going to continue this Draymond talk. 1063 00:58:57,360 --> 00:58:58,680 Speaker 1: I want to bring the crew, and I want to 1064 00:58:58,680 --> 00:59:01,280 Speaker 1: bring Martin, and I want to bring in Patrick and 1065 00:59:01,360 --> 00:59:04,840 Speaker 1: get their thoughts. But coming up, want to switch gears 1066 00:59:04,960 --> 00:59:10,640 Speaker 1: ever so definitely. In this crazy, dizzying oddball world of 1067 00:59:11,760 --> 00:59:17,160 Speaker 1: college football, transfer portals and nil and coaches quitting before 1068 00:59:17,200 --> 00:59:20,320 Speaker 1: the game even starts, well, believe it or not, one 1069 00:59:20,360 --> 00:59:24,000 Speaker 1: particular quarterback fell back on tradition. He's actually gonna suit 1070 00:59:24,080 --> 00:59:27,280 Speaker 1: up for a game and he has nothing to do 1071 00:59:27,400 --> 00:59:29,640 Speaker 1: with the playoff games. Want to give him his flowers 1072 00:59:30,080 --> 00:59:32,120 Speaker 1: coming up, I'm Bernie Friddery. We are coming to live 1073 00:59:32,120 --> 00:59:34,920 Speaker 1: from the Las Vegas Fox Sportsradio Tirecht dot com studios. 1074 00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:37,080 Speaker 1: Keep it locked. You're listening to the Bernie Fraddle Show 1075 00:59:37,120 --> 00:59:43,280 Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio. We're back on the Bernie Fraddle Show, 1076 00:59:43,360 --> 00:59:45,640 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio. Covery of live at the Tarach dot 1077 00:59:45,640 --> 00:59:48,920 Speaker 1: com studios coming up after Martin's update, We're gonna bring 1078 00:59:48,960 --> 00:59:50,760 Speaker 1: in the crew. I want to get their thoughts on 1079 00:59:51,240 --> 00:59:55,520 Speaker 1: the Draymond Green saga. But first shift gears ever so quickly. 1080 00:59:55,760 --> 00:59:58,400 Speaker 1: This is a weird world of college football that we 1081 00:59:58,440 --> 01:00:02,160 Speaker 1: are in. You've got temporary restraining orders and now you 1082 01:00:02,200 --> 01:00:06,760 Speaker 1: can transfer twice without impunity. Be that as it may, Yes, 1083 01:00:07,040 --> 01:00:10,640 Speaker 1: accept it. It's the new reality. Portals nil. But there's 1084 01:00:10,680 --> 01:00:14,680 Speaker 1: always been players sitting out of college bowl games. The 1085 01:00:14,760 --> 01:00:17,680 Speaker 1: question is do you suit it for that one more game? 1086 01:00:17,840 --> 01:00:19,840 Speaker 1: If you're to be drafted and you wouldn't want to 1087 01:00:19,880 --> 01:00:23,120 Speaker 1: risk injury. We'll give it up to Oregon quarterback Bow Knicks. 1088 01:00:23,160 --> 01:00:25,800 Speaker 1: He announced he will actually be playing in the Fiesta 1089 01:00:25,840 --> 01:00:29,240 Speaker 1: Bowl against Liberty. This is a guy who's already started 1090 01:00:29,320 --> 01:00:33,920 Speaker 1: sixty games when you consider his time at Auburn and Oregon. 1091 01:00:34,480 --> 01:00:37,680 Speaker 1: He broke Kellen Moore, who started fifty three games at 1092 01:00:37,920 --> 01:00:41,600 Speaker 1: Boise State and Tech. I think Cold McCoy started over 1093 01:00:41,640 --> 01:00:46,000 Speaker 1: fifty games at Texas. Knicks broke the record against Washington State. 1094 01:00:46,240 --> 01:00:49,320 Speaker 1: It will be sixty one when he takes the field 1095 01:00:49,360 --> 01:00:54,120 Speaker 1: against Liberty. He's leaving behind probably his best college football 1096 01:00:54,160 --> 01:00:57,840 Speaker 1: season ever. His dad was a quarterback. Bow Knicks through 1097 01:00:57,840 --> 01:01:01,880 Speaker 1: for forty touchdowns one hundred yards this year is decision 1098 01:01:01,960 --> 01:01:05,760 Speaker 1: to play. It's rare, and you know it. We're in 1099 01:01:05,800 --> 01:01:09,280 Speaker 1: a world of college football that routinely sees players opting 1100 01:01:09,280 --> 01:01:11,480 Speaker 1: out of their ball games in order to prepare for 1101 01:01:11,520 --> 01:01:16,720 Speaker 1: the draft. Well, Knicks is expected to be selected in 1102 01:01:16,760 --> 01:01:19,720 Speaker 1: the NFL Draft, but he wants to play one final 1103 01:01:20,440 --> 01:01:22,560 Speaker 1: college game to close the book on what's been a 1104 01:01:22,680 --> 01:01:26,680 Speaker 1: very long chapter of his career and his college life. 1105 01:01:27,400 --> 01:01:30,080 Speaker 1: Get the do to hand. What he's doing is for everybody, 1106 01:01:30,680 --> 01:01:33,000 Speaker 1: and that's not the bag on Caleb Williamster not playing 1107 01:01:33,040 --> 01:01:36,160 Speaker 1: to each his own. It's a highly individual decision. You know, 1108 01:01:36,800 --> 01:01:40,040 Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey set out his final game. It's been forgotten, 1109 01:01:40,320 --> 01:01:43,480 Speaker 1: no one will remember, but still tip of the cap 1110 01:01:43,840 --> 01:01:46,240 Speaker 1: to bow Knicks coming up. I want to dive back 1111 01:01:46,240 --> 01:01:49,240 Speaker 1: into this Draymond Green situation. I want to hear what 1112 01:01:49,240 --> 01:01:50,960 Speaker 1: the guys have to say, but first let's go back 1113 01:01:51,000 --> 01:01:53,800 Speaker 1: to our guy, hardest working man in rock and roll. 1114 01:01:54,160 --> 01:01:55,360 Speaker 1: Martin Weiss with the latest. 1115 01:01:56,160 --> 01:01:59,400 Speaker 7: The Detroit Lions beat the Denver Broncos yesterday forty two 1116 01:01:59,440 --> 01:01:59,960 Speaker 7: to seventeen. 1117 01:02:00,320 --> 01:02:02,680 Speaker 4: Like you said, Bernie, don't worry just yet. Jared Goff 1118 01:02:02,680 --> 01:02:05,320 Speaker 4: had five touchdown passes. Sam Laporta caught three of those. 1119 01:02:05,480 --> 01:02:09,200 Speaker 7: Indianapolis calls beat the Pittsburgh Steelers thirty to thirteen. Gardner 1120 01:02:09,200 --> 01:02:12,520 Speaker 7: Mitshew with three touchdown passes Pittsburgh. They were six and 1121 01:02:12,640 --> 01:02:16,200 Speaker 7: three going into a Cleveland game against Dorian Thompson. 1122 01:02:16,280 --> 01:02:18,280 Speaker 4: Robins said, well, they've lost four of their last five. 1123 01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:21,880 Speaker 7: Cincinnati won in overtime against Minnesota twenty seven to twenty four. 1124 01:02:21,920 --> 01:02:25,040 Speaker 7: Bengals trails seventeen to three after three quarters. T Higgins 1125 01:02:25,120 --> 01:02:27,880 Speaker 7: caught the game tying touchdown pass with an impressive stretch 1126 01:02:27,920 --> 01:02:30,040 Speaker 7: back across the goal line, just broke the plane in 1127 01:02:30,040 --> 01:02:32,600 Speaker 7: the final minut of the regulation. Jamar Chase, though left 1128 01:02:32,600 --> 01:02:35,720 Speaker 7: that game with their shoulder injury. NFL today, case Keenan 1129 01:02:35,760 --> 01:02:37,880 Speaker 7: will get the start for the Houston Texans. The CJ 1130 01:02:37,960 --> 01:02:41,120 Speaker 7: Stroud is still in concussion protocol. In the NBA, the 1131 01:02:41,160 --> 01:02:44,320 Speaker 7: Detroit Pistons lost their twenty third consecutive game. 1132 01:02:44,320 --> 01:02:46,200 Speaker 4: They are creeping up on the record. At twenty six. 1133 01:02:46,680 --> 01:02:50,480 Speaker 7: Milwaukee was the victor, one forty six to one fourteen. 1134 01:02:50,880 --> 01:02:53,800 Speaker 7: Philadelphia won one thirty five to eighty two at Charlotte. 1135 01:02:53,840 --> 01:02:56,600 Speaker 7: Joel Andbiid had forty two points. And I heard Steve 1136 01:02:56,640 --> 01:03:00,680 Speaker 7: ja Seger say this earlier. That's the largest margin for 1137 01:03:00,760 --> 01:03:03,800 Speaker 7: a winning team on the road in NBA history, just 1138 01:03:03,960 --> 01:03:07,200 Speaker 7: under fifty points. Golden State earned just over fifty points. Rather, 1139 01:03:07,280 --> 01:03:09,080 Speaker 7: just Golden State earned a one twenty four to one 1140 01:03:09,160 --> 01:03:12,200 Speaker 7: twenty victory over Brooklyn.

It's not just the 1166 01:04:30,360 --> 01:04:34,840 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen suspension of Game five in the NBA Finals 1167 01:04:34,840 --> 01:04:39,080 Speaker 1: after Draymond had the altercation with Lebron James. I'm firmly 1168 01:04:39,120 --> 01:04:43,160 Speaker 1: convinced that cost the Warriors the championship that year. Not 1169 01:04:43,280 --> 01:04:46,720 Speaker 1: just the suspension in twenty nineteen after an altercation with 1170 01:04:46,760 --> 01:04:50,800 Speaker 1: his own teammate Kevin Durant. Not just the suspension for 1171 01:04:51,160 --> 01:04:55,840 Speaker 1: punching Jordan Poole. Now you've got the season long technical 1172 01:04:55,920 --> 01:04:58,960 Speaker 1: follow him at suspension, he had the five games for 1173 01:04:59,240 --> 01:05:04,440 Speaker 1: Rudy Goberten headlock. And now what happened Tuesday night with 1174 01:05:05,000 --> 01:05:08,440 Speaker 1: Yusef Nirki Martin, you got the floor take this wherever 1175 01:05:08,480 --> 01:05:09,160 Speaker 1: you want. 1176 01:05:09,480 --> 01:05:12,040 Speaker 7: Well, I didn't know that when Lebron James was talking 1177 01:05:12,040 --> 01:05:14,440 Speaker 7: about not one, not two, not three, he was talking 1178 01:05:14,440 --> 01:05:17,640 Speaker 7: about Draymond Green suspensions, right, you know, I didn't know 1179 01:05:17,680 --> 01:05:18,560 Speaker 7: that was the case. 1180 01:05:18,960 --> 01:05:19,160 Speaker 1: You know. 1181 01:05:19,840 --> 01:05:22,439 Speaker 4: The thing that I've been the discourse has been great. 1182 01:05:22,480 --> 01:05:24,320 Speaker 7: I've heard Mark Madeena did a great job at the 1183 01:05:24,320 --> 01:05:27,080 Speaker 7: top of the hour breaking it down. This isn't basketball. 1184 01:05:27,120 --> 01:05:29,840 Speaker 7: This is much farther from basketball. This is the type 1185 01:05:29,840 --> 01:05:32,640 Speaker 7: of stuff that like, Okay, if you catch an elbow 1186 01:05:32,680 --> 01:05:35,480 Speaker 7: in the post, that's one thing. However, when you turn 1187 01:05:35,520 --> 01:05:38,520 Speaker 7: around and get a spinning four arm, open hand slap 1188 01:05:39,000 --> 01:05:41,120 Speaker 7: coming back around, use off Nurkics. 1189 01:05:40,800 --> 01:05:43,200 Speaker 4: Like did he flops maybe, but you know what, he 1190 01:05:43,240 --> 01:05:45,400 Speaker 4: definitely did. He definitely got hit in the face. 1191 01:05:45,960 --> 01:05:48,800 Speaker 7: So some of these things that Draymond has been doing, 1192 01:05:48,880 --> 01:05:52,840 Speaker 7: it's like, it is not it's football season, Burnie. He'd 1193 01:05:52,840 --> 01:05:55,160 Speaker 7: get ejected out of football games for some of this stuff. 1194 01:05:55,320 --> 01:05:57,800 Speaker 7: And we know there's different rules for different folks at 1195 01:05:57,840 --> 01:06:01,680 Speaker 7: different sports. But the and finally, the last point that 1196 01:06:01,760 --> 01:06:03,960 Speaker 7: I have on this whole thing, and you feel free 1197 01:06:03,960 --> 01:06:07,160 Speaker 7: to rebut me on any of them, but the conversation 1198 01:06:07,360 --> 01:06:09,919 Speaker 7: is going around with Draymond talking about, you know, maybe 1199 01:06:09,960 --> 01:06:12,480 Speaker 7: he's got something going on at home. Maybe it's just 1200 01:06:12,680 --> 01:06:15,080 Speaker 7: you know, there's some type of stress or that is 1201 01:06:15,160 --> 01:06:17,800 Speaker 7: causing him to do this type of stuff while at work. 1202 01:06:17,960 --> 01:06:20,680 Speaker 7: Because remember he is a professional basketball player, so he 1203 01:06:20,840 --> 01:06:24,000 Speaker 7: is again at work. Now, what I just say back 1204 01:06:24,040 --> 01:06:27,120 Speaker 7: to that is, if this is how Draymond Green handles 1205 01:06:27,160 --> 01:06:30,520 Speaker 7: his resolutions at home, he should probably be in jail. 1206 01:06:31,120 --> 01:06:32,960 Speaker 4: Okay, you can't just. 1207 01:06:33,000 --> 01:06:36,760 Speaker 7: One around hitting people, stepping on people, dancing home. 1208 01:06:36,760 --> 01:06:39,720 Speaker 4: Kicking people in the private parts. It's a no goal 1209 01:06:39,800 --> 01:06:40,080 Speaker 4: for me. 1210 01:06:40,440 --> 01:06:45,320 Speaker 7: And it really I would really hope that the NBA's 1211 01:06:45,360 --> 01:06:48,200 Speaker 7: Players Association does not make a big stink about this 1212 01:06:48,320 --> 01:06:51,200 Speaker 7: indefinite suspension they having so far, I hope they continue 1213 01:06:51,240 --> 01:06:54,360 Speaker 7: not to because while they represent Draymond Green, they also 1214 01:06:54,440 --> 01:06:57,360 Speaker 7: represent everybody he's been beating up on the court for 1215 01:06:57,440 --> 01:07:00,680 Speaker 7: the last five years, like especially speaking so so for 1216 01:07:00,760 --> 01:07:04,120 Speaker 7: the huge of Nurk Demontisa Bonuses and Steven Adams of 1217 01:07:04,160 --> 01:07:04,520 Speaker 7: the world. 1218 01:07:04,880 --> 01:07:07,120 Speaker 4: Get this guy out of here. That's my take. 1219 01:07:07,600 --> 01:07:09,400 Speaker 1: So here's the deal, Martin, and I'm not going to 1220 01:07:09,480 --> 01:07:12,840 Speaker 1: practice psychology without of license. That's against the law. I 1221 01:07:12,840 --> 01:07:16,400 Speaker 1: will say this, though there are seven he has seven incidents, 1222 01:07:16,480 --> 01:07:19,960 Speaker 1: is now okay, he's got a body of work. My 1223 01:07:20,120 --> 01:07:23,320 Speaker 1: question to you is your commissioner for a day? How 1224 01:07:23,360 --> 01:07:25,640 Speaker 1: long is this indefinite suspentially gonna last? 1225 01:07:25,760 --> 01:07:28,160 Speaker 4: At least ten? I think up to fifteen. 1226 01:07:29,680 --> 01:07:32,200 Speaker 7: He kind of got the John Moran treatment and Kyrie 1227 01:07:32,240 --> 01:07:35,080 Speaker 7: treatment of you've got to check off a few boxes 1228 01:07:35,200 --> 01:07:37,520 Speaker 7: before you can come back here. I'm with that with 1229 01:07:37,720 --> 01:07:43,040 Speaker 7: this scenario because he's damaging. He could really hurt somebody, 1230 01:07:43,080 --> 01:07:45,040 Speaker 7: and I know that people that kind of scoff at that. 1231 01:07:45,120 --> 01:07:48,920 Speaker 7: And when you see just the image of him flopping 1232 01:07:48,960 --> 01:07:51,800 Speaker 7: out like a dead fish on a boat or fish 1233 01:07:51,800 --> 01:07:53,920 Speaker 7: out of water on the bottom of a boat and. 1234 01:07:53,960 --> 01:07:56,120 Speaker 4: Ends up hitting Nurkage in the face with his arms. 1235 01:07:56,360 --> 01:07:58,720 Speaker 7: It's funny to look at, but the reality is he 1236 01:07:58,840 --> 01:08:01,240 Speaker 7: could really hurt somebody. He could really I mean, it 1237 01:08:01,280 --> 01:08:03,960 Speaker 7: doesn't take much to break a jaw, fracture in an 1238 01:08:04,080 --> 01:08:07,800 Speaker 7: orbital socket, something of that nature, or some bonus, you know, 1239 01:08:07,960 --> 01:08:10,360 Speaker 7: break a rib stomping on somebody like that. 1240 01:08:10,520 --> 01:08:14,640 Speaker 4: So he's got to be taught a lesson. And I 1241 01:08:14,640 --> 01:08:15,600 Speaker 4: don't even mean like in. 1242 01:08:15,560 --> 01:08:17,680 Speaker 9: The punitive way of like, you got to teach this 1243 01:08:17,720 --> 01:08:20,439 Speaker 9: guy a lesson, But he's causing harm to others on 1244 01:08:20,479 --> 01:08:24,080 Speaker 9: the court in a way that is just not it's 1245 01:08:24,360 --> 01:08:25,840 Speaker 9: you know what it reminds me of I watched that 1246 01:08:25,920 --> 01:08:28,880 Speaker 9: BS High documentary this We're. 1247 01:08:28,760 --> 01:08:30,240 Speaker 1: Going to talk about that at the end of the year, 1248 01:08:30,240 --> 01:08:30,519 Speaker 1: all right. 1249 01:08:30,560 --> 01:08:35,240 Speaker 7: It so remember the reporter saying that some things are illegal, 1250 01:08:35,479 --> 01:08:38,520 Speaker 7: but some things aren't illegal because no one ever contemplated 1251 01:08:38,520 --> 01:08:41,920 Speaker 7: that you people would try to do it, like there 1252 01:08:41,960 --> 01:08:44,479 Speaker 7: are not necessarily rules in the rule, but for what 1253 01:08:44,560 --> 01:08:48,559 Speaker 7: Draymond does, because no one was thinking about guys running 1254 01:08:48,600 --> 01:08:51,920 Speaker 7: around kicking people into privates and stomping on people's chests 1255 01:08:51,960 --> 01:08:56,000 Speaker 7: in basketball like, so we have to come with something 1256 01:08:56,160 --> 01:08:59,040 Speaker 7: new because what he is doing is something we have 1257 01:08:59,200 --> 01:09:01,799 Speaker 7: not seen. And I mean, you know, I was talking 1258 01:09:01,840 --> 01:09:03,920 Speaker 7: with Nick Young, former Lakers. 1259 01:09:03,920 --> 01:09:05,559 Speaker 4: Have you said he played? You know, he was on 1260 01:09:06,160 --> 01:09:06,920 Speaker 4: at my day. 1261 01:09:06,800 --> 01:09:09,719 Speaker 7: Job, and yeah, he was saying, you know, the Pistons 1262 01:09:09,760 --> 01:09:11,760 Speaker 7: would in eighty and you know in eighty nine, the 1263 01:09:11,760 --> 01:09:12,400 Speaker 7: Pistons would have. 1264 01:09:12,400 --> 01:09:15,080 Speaker 4: Been with this. I don't even know if that's true 1265 01:09:15,280 --> 01:09:15,960 Speaker 4: at this point. 1266 01:09:16,240 --> 01:09:19,600 Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, no, no, these are not basketball exactly. 1267 01:09:19,720 --> 01:09:22,760 Speaker 4: He's not a hard file at the real No. 1268 01:09:22,760 --> 01:09:25,280 Speaker 1: No, they had Jordan rules. I was around then you're 1269 01:09:25,280 --> 01:09:27,840 Speaker 1: going to the paint. You're gonna they were within the rules. 1270 01:09:27,840 --> 01:09:32,120 Speaker 1: The Piston dance the line. My issue, Martin is seven incidences. Okay. 1271 01:09:33,040 --> 01:09:34,960 Speaker 1: And by the way, if the suspension is fewer than 1272 01:09:35,000 --> 01:09:37,800 Speaker 1: twenty games, Draymond will be docked about one hundred and 1273 01:09:37,800 --> 01:09:40,120 Speaker 1: fifty four grand per game. But if it's more than 1274 01:09:40,120 --> 01:09:42,920 Speaker 1: twenty games, interestingly enough, he'll be docked two hundred and 1275 01:09:42,920 --> 01:09:48,160 Speaker 1: three thousand per game. He's diminishing the product. I don't 1276 01:09:48,160 --> 01:09:50,599 Speaker 1: really think fans go to see this or kids go 1277 01:09:50,680 --> 01:09:53,720 Speaker 1: to see this. And again he made a mistake, made 1278 01:09:53,760 --> 01:09:56,639 Speaker 1: a couple of dollars, four of them. In twenty twenty three. 1279 01:09:57,200 --> 01:09:59,720 Speaker 1: I was there November nineteen, two thousand and four, do 1280 01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:02,280 Speaker 1: remote from the lobby. So the whole thing in my eyes, 1281 01:10:02,520 --> 01:10:04,439 Speaker 1: I'm talking about the mouths of the palace for coming 1282 01:10:04,520 --> 01:10:07,559 Speaker 1: up on twenty years. The pacers have never recovered from that. 1283 01:10:07,920 --> 01:10:09,760 Speaker 1: Now roun Our tests had to come back and do 1284 01:10:10,040 --> 01:10:12,439 Speaker 1: community service. He's one of the coolest dudes ever. Right, 1285 01:10:13,280 --> 01:10:16,600 Speaker 1: he got suspended the whole year. I will be disappointed 1286 01:10:16,640 --> 01:10:19,320 Speaker 1: if he's not suspended the whole year, because I'll tell 1287 01:10:19,320 --> 01:10:21,600 Speaker 1: you why. He's got to feel this one man, not 1288 01:10:21,720 --> 01:10:24,280 Speaker 1: ten games come back. I said, I'm sorry. I met 1289 01:10:24,280 --> 01:10:27,599 Speaker 1: with doctor Ruth. We're cool. Let's go No, no, no, 1290 01:10:27,640 --> 01:10:30,320 Speaker 1: you gotta feel this one. We'll see in November twenty 1291 01:10:30,360 --> 01:10:33,160 Speaker 1: twenty four, and you're gonna feel what. You know that 1292 01:10:33,240 --> 01:10:36,479 Speaker 1: if you do this again, you know what it's gonna 1293 01:10:36,479 --> 01:10:38,639 Speaker 1: cost you. You don't want to You don't want to watch 1294 01:10:38,640 --> 01:10:40,880 Speaker 1: your teammates play basketball for a year.

And all 1328 01:12:08,720 --> 01:12:09,679 Speaker 8: I could say, well. 1329 01:12:09,840 --> 01:12:13,360 Speaker 1: If you get if you have seven traffic tickets and 1330 01:12:13,680 --> 01:12:17,040 Speaker 1: they suspend your license for ten days, you're gonna find 1331 01:12:17,040 --> 01:12:20,240 Speaker 1: a way around that. They spend your license for a year. 1332 01:12:20,479 --> 01:12:23,679 Speaker 1: You're gonna feel that one. Right, You're gonna feel that one, Martin. 1333 01:12:24,160 --> 01:12:26,000 Speaker 1: Let me circle back to you for just a second. 1334 01:12:26,720 --> 01:12:31,600 Speaker 1: How culpable are the Warriors brass for frankly enabling this? 1335 01:12:32,320 --> 01:12:34,720 Speaker 7: I mean, flat honestly, I'm pretty sure this is why 1336 01:12:34,760 --> 01:12:36,400 Speaker 7: Bob Myers is on TV right now. 1337 01:12:36,880 --> 01:12:40,599 Speaker 1: You saw Charles Barkley what he said, congratulations for jumping 1338 01:12:40,640 --> 01:12:42,599 Speaker 1: off the sinking ship. That's part of it. 1339 01:12:42,880 --> 01:12:45,479 Speaker 7: I mean, I mean for real, because not only do 1340 01:12:45,600 --> 01:12:49,000 Speaker 7: I mean Klay Thompson and Andrew Wiggins. That's a different 1341 01:12:49,000 --> 01:12:50,280 Speaker 7: story than the money that they got. 1342 01:12:50,360 --> 01:12:50,760 Speaker 4: Right now. 1343 01:12:51,080 --> 01:12:53,680 Speaker 7: Clay's you know, obviously not Bay like he'd like to. 1344 01:12:53,760 --> 01:12:56,840 Speaker 7: And maybe it's impacting his play. Also, maybe just two castrophic, 1345 01:12:57,040 --> 01:13:01,240 Speaker 7: catastrophic lower body injuries is impacting his play. But in 1346 01:13:01,320 --> 01:13:06,120 Speaker 7: terms of Draymond, it's not only been it's been rewarded, 1347 01:13:06,240 --> 01:13:09,360 Speaker 7: it's been championed, and over the span of the several 1348 01:13:09,840 --> 01:13:13,439 Speaker 7: several different instances of like somehow like this is the 1349 01:13:13,479 --> 01:13:17,160 Speaker 7: ads needed to win, which I just disagree with fundamentally, 1350 01:13:17,200 --> 01:13:20,400 Speaker 7: Like I don't think you need to be yeah, exactly. 1351 01:13:21,439 --> 01:13:25,080 Speaker 7: And last season, you know all, I mean really last season, Bernie, 1352 01:13:25,120 --> 01:13:27,639 Speaker 7: they won eleven road games in the regular season, right, 1353 01:13:27,800 --> 01:13:30,519 Speaker 7: So it's like like that's the type of thing to me, 1354 01:13:30,680 --> 01:13:33,160 Speaker 7: that is the canary and the coal mine that you 1355 01:13:33,200 --> 01:13:35,120 Speaker 7: will see in terms of, oh, this thing is going 1356 01:13:35,200 --> 01:13:37,479 Speaker 7: up in flames. This thing is a disaster. We are 1357 01:13:37,520 --> 01:13:39,880 Speaker 7: choking out of oxygen right there. 1358 01:13:39,880 --> 01:13:42,519 Speaker 4: And it's all started, in my opinion, with punching Jordan 1359 01:13:42,560 --> 01:13:45,439 Speaker 4: Poole in a face. Like it's like, that's crazy. 1360 01:13:45,479 --> 01:13:48,400 Speaker 7: You can't just punch people in the face at work. 1361 01:13:49,400 --> 01:13:54,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, And he's had multiple incidents habitual line stepper. No, 1362 01:13:54,720 --> 01:13:58,599 Speaker 1: it's all true. Martin coming up, We're gonna switch gears. 1363 01:13:59,680 --> 01:14:04,800 Speaker 1: Tom Current out of Boston.

You know they say the the last impression 1382 01:15:02,040 --> 01:15:06,200 Speaker 1: is the lasting impression, and it has not looked good 1383 01:15:06,200 --> 01:15:13,040 Speaker 1: for Bill Belichick recently and you know why. And it 1384 01:15:13,200 --> 01:15:16,960 Speaker 1: now appears that Bill Belichick's time with the New England 1385 01:15:16,960 --> 01:15:21,840 Speaker 1: Patriots is absolutely coming to an end, regardless of how 1386 01:15:21,880 --> 01:15:25,960 Speaker 1: the rest of the season plays out. According to NBC 1387 01:15:26,000 --> 01:15:30,320 Speaker 1: Sports Boston's Tom Kerrn, the Pats already decided to move 1388 01:15:30,320 --> 01:15:33,479 Speaker 1: on from Bill Belichick at the end of the season, 1389 01:15:33,560 --> 01:15:38,800 Speaker 1: and apparently they decided over a month ago. The flashpoint 1390 01:15:38,960 --> 01:15:41,759 Speaker 1: was when the Patriots played a game in Frankfurt, Germany, 1391 01:15:41,800 --> 01:15:46,120 Speaker 1: on November twelfth, and lost to the Indianapolis Colts. And 1392 01:15:46,160 --> 01:15:49,240 Speaker 1: according to Tom Kern, and I quote, when they came 1393 01:15:49,280 --> 01:15:52,120 Speaker 1: out of Germany, conversations I had that week made it 1394 01:15:52,200 --> 01:15:54,960 Speaker 1: very clear the decision was made and they were going 1395 01:15:55,000 --> 01:15:57,000 Speaker 1: to play out the string and at the end of 1396 01:15:57,040 --> 01:15:59,360 Speaker 1: the year there would be a parting of the ways 1397 01:16:00,240 --> 01:16:03,879 Speaker 1: for a variety of reasons. You don't fire Bill Belichick 1398 01:16:03,960 --> 01:16:08,559 Speaker 1: during the season, it's just not going to happen. End quote. 1399 01:16:09,439 --> 01:16:11,640 Speaker 1: When you think of Bill Belichick, remember this is a 1400 01:16:11,680 --> 01:16:15,920 Speaker 1: guy who's been to eleven Super Bowls. Remember Bill Parcells 1401 01:16:15,920 --> 01:16:19,599 Speaker 1: in those great New York Giants teams back in nineteen 1402 01:16:19,640 --> 01:16:22,599 Speaker 1: eighty seven when they stuffed Denver and in nineteen ninety 1403 01:16:22,600 --> 01:16:24,679 Speaker 1: one where they beat Buffalo and the K gun offense. 1404 01:16:26,400 --> 01:16:31,640 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick was Bill parcells trusted advisor and defensive coordinator. 1405 01:16:32,560 --> 01:16:37,360 Speaker 1: So in fact, Bill Parcells never won a Super Bowl 1406 01:16:37,720 --> 01:16:42,880 Speaker 1: without Bill Belichick by its side, and clearly Belichick a 1407 01:16:43,040 --> 01:16:45,559 Speaker 1: long time ago solidified himself as one of the best 1408 01:16:45,560 --> 01:16:48,639 Speaker 1: head coaches in the National Football League. He was hired 1409 01:16:49,120 --> 01:16:52,280 Speaker 1: in two thousand, following he had a five year stint 1410 01:16:52,320 --> 01:16:54,920 Speaker 1: in Cleveland, and then, of course he'd had assistant jobs 1411 01:16:54,960 --> 01:16:57,400 Speaker 1: with the Pats and Jets, and like I talked about 1412 01:16:57,400 --> 01:17:00,720 Speaker 1: in the Giants, and he quickly turned the Patriots into 1413 01:17:00,760 --> 01:17:03,040 Speaker 1: one of the best dynasties the sport has ever seen. Now, 1414 01:17:03,520 --> 01:17:06,840 Speaker 1: I covered Michigan football when Tom Brady was there. Tom 1415 01:17:06,880 --> 01:17:11,120 Speaker 1: Brady almost didn't make the team. They're gonna keep Michael Bishop. 1416 01:17:11,760 --> 01:17:15,639 Speaker 1: They voted in the room to cut Brady. The vote 1417 01:17:15,720 --> 01:17:19,120 Speaker 1: was like five to one. The vote that was the 1418 01:17:19,160 --> 01:17:22,639 Speaker 1: one was Bill Belichick. He saw something. They kept Brady. 1419 01:17:22,720 --> 01:17:25,880 Speaker 1: No one could see what would happen, and then Drew 1420 01:17:25,920 --> 01:17:28,680 Speaker 1: Bletsoe would go down, et cetera, et cetera, and the 1421 01:17:28,920 --> 01:17:33,080 Speaker 1: Brady Belichick team led the Patriots to six Super Bowl 1422 01:17:33,080 --> 01:17:36,920 Speaker 1: wins and an incredible They even had a seventeen win season. 1423 01:17:38,560 --> 01:17:41,160 Speaker 1: Or check that. Well, well, in two thousand and eight 1424 01:17:41,360 --> 01:17:46,679 Speaker 1: without Brady, that team won what twelve games and didn't 1425 01:17:46,680 --> 01:17:50,800 Speaker 1: make the playoffs eleven games with Matt Castle, but in 1426 01:17:50,880 --> 01:17:55,520 Speaker 1: Brady's tenure, checked that Belichick's tenure, New England had seventeen 1427 01:17:55,680 --> 01:17:58,600 Speaker 1: seasons with double digit victories. Now this is in the 1428 01:17:58,640 --> 01:18:02,160 Speaker 1: salary cap era. Okay, they only missed the playoffs five 1429 01:18:02,200 --> 01:18:05,200 Speaker 1: times under Belichick's watch. Again, made it to nine Super Bowls. 1430 01:18:05,280 --> 01:18:07,679 Speaker 1: I get it. Since Brady, it's been a very different story. 1431 01:18:08,200 --> 01:18:11,040 Speaker 1: The team's been to the playoffs just once since Brady 1432 01:18:11,080 --> 01:18:13,800 Speaker 1: left for Tampa Bay back in twenty twenty. They got 1433 01:18:13,920 --> 01:18:16,080 Speaker 1: knocked out of the wild card round in the twenty 1434 01:18:16,120 --> 01:18:20,800 Speaker 1: twenty one season. Obviously, Brady's replacement, Mac Jones, has struggled. 1435 01:18:21,040 --> 01:18:24,240 Speaker 1: He's been benched multiple times. Now you got Bailey's appy 1436 01:18:24,240 --> 01:18:28,479 Speaker 1: out of Western Kentucky. It's not ending great. The patcher 1437 01:18:28,680 --> 01:18:31,160 Speaker 1: three to ten when they kick off against Kansas City 1438 01:18:31,200 --> 01:18:34,200 Speaker 1: here in about nine hours. New England has last in 1439 01:18:34,200 --> 01:18:37,760 Speaker 1: the AFC East. They've had multiple blowout games this year. 1440 01:18:37,800 --> 01:18:40,519 Speaker 1: They lost thirty eight to three to Dallas, thirty four 1441 01:18:40,479 --> 01:18:42,559 Speaker 1: to nothing to the Saints, and They're one of two 1442 01:18:42,560 --> 01:18:45,880 Speaker 1: teams in the league that are already eliminated from the playoffs. 1443 01:18:46,240 --> 01:18:48,240 Speaker 1: Even if they went out, they'd finished seven to ten. 1444 01:18:49,280 --> 01:18:52,480 Speaker 1: But when you remember Bill Belichick, remember his full blown 1445 01:18:52,680 --> 01:18:55,400 Speaker 1: body of work, and he is only twenty seven victories 1446 01:18:55,400 --> 01:18:58,000 Speaker 1: behind the all time leader Don Chula. So does he emerge? 1447 01:18:58,320 --> 01:19:01,479 Speaker 1: I guess we'll find out. Have to watch. But it's 1448 01:19:01,600 --> 01:19:05,800 Speaker 1: over in New England and usually it never ends the 1449 01:19:05,840 --> 01:19:08,760 Speaker 1: way you want it to end.

One was the Chiefs, one was the Eagles, 1465 01:19:58,720 --> 01:20:01,559 Speaker 1: and the other was the Lions. All of them lost 1466 01:20:01,680 --> 01:20:05,720 Speaker 1: ground in their hunt and their quest to be the 1467 01:20:05,800 --> 01:20:10,360 Speaker 1: number one seed in their conference. Detroit lost the head 1468 01:20:10,360 --> 01:20:15,280 Speaker 1: scratcher to the lowly Bears. They drop to nine and four, 1469 01:20:15,640 --> 01:20:17,679 Speaker 1: falling a game out of the top spot in the NFC, 1470 01:20:18,240 --> 01:20:21,760 Speaker 1: and the Lions had their worst offensive performance in their 1471 01:20:21,800 --> 01:20:23,479 Speaker 1: loss to the Bears. They only had two hundred and 1472 01:20:23,520 --> 01:20:26,040 Speaker 1: sixty seven total yards, they turned them ball over three times. 1473 01:20:26,800 --> 01:20:29,040 Speaker 1: As of that game, Detroit was still in third pay 1474 01:20:29,479 --> 01:20:31,840 Speaker 1: checked that third place in the NFC at nine to four, 1475 01:20:32,880 --> 01:20:36,280 Speaker 1: and what was being reported was that their upcoming schedule 1476 01:20:36,320 --> 01:20:38,599 Speaker 1: was pretty tricky because they were going to be playing 1477 01:20:38,600 --> 01:20:42,439 Speaker 1: with surging Broncos before closing the season with two games 1478 01:20:42,479 --> 01:20:47,000 Speaker 1: against the feisty Vikings and a road game against the Cowboys. 1479 01:20:47,400 --> 01:20:50,960 Speaker 1: Were the Vikings lost and the Broncos got smoked by 1480 01:20:50,960 --> 01:20:58,639 Speaker 1: the aforementioned Lions, and all is okay for now. Now 1481 01:20:58,720 --> 01:21:01,240 Speaker 1: let's talk about the Chiefs. They lost to the Bills 1482 01:21:01,280 --> 01:21:04,000 Speaker 1: at home. They're now eight and five, sitting in third 1483 01:21:04,040 --> 01:21:08,080 Speaker 1: place in the AFC. And I get it. The Chiefs 1484 01:21:08,120 --> 01:21:13,599 Speaker 1: loss followed a familiar formula, as they're unreliable receiving corps. 1485 01:21:13,640 --> 01:21:16,759 Speaker 1: If you want to call them matt costs of another game. Remember, 1486 01:21:17,040 --> 01:21:21,640 Speaker 1: and here's what kills me, because Kadarius Tony made a 1487 01:21:21,720 --> 01:21:24,679 Speaker 1: high school mistake. I was a wide receiver in high school. 1488 01:21:24,680 --> 01:21:26,960 Speaker 1: You check with the ref, you line up, you look 1489 01:21:27,000 --> 01:21:28,720 Speaker 1: at the ball, you look at the line of scrimmage. 1490 01:21:28,800 --> 01:21:30,479 Speaker 1: There were times I had line up, I'd forgotten what 1491 01:21:30,520 --> 01:21:34,680 Speaker 1: the kidence and the count was, so I watched the ball. 1492 01:21:33,479 --> 01:21:37,320 Speaker 1: I'll get off the line of scrimmage. When the ball snapped, 1493 01:21:37,360 --> 01:21:39,599 Speaker 1: there's You've got to be better. And by the way, 1494 01:21:39,600 --> 01:21:42,880 Speaker 1: if Kadarius Tony hadn't dropped the wide open pass Week 1495 01:21:42,960 --> 01:21:46,519 Speaker 1: one against Detroit, the Chiefs would have been in line 1496 01:21:46,600 --> 01:21:49,559 Speaker 1: for a chip shot field goal. The Chiefs might very 1497 01:21:49,560 --> 01:21:52,000 Speaker 1: well be ten and three. Then again, if your ant 1498 01:21:52,040 --> 01:21:53,840 Speaker 1: had balls, you'd be your uncle. So that's not where 1499 01:21:53,880 --> 01:21:56,000 Speaker 1: I'm going with this. I just don't think they're nearly 1500 01:21:56,479 --> 01:21:59,759 Speaker 1: in trouble as people think they are now. Kansas City's 1501 01:22:00,200 --> 01:22:03,080 Speaker 1: plenty of games this season due to its receivers dropping passes. 1502 01:22:03,640 --> 01:22:08,120 Speaker 1: They've dropped twenty five coming into this coming week, and 1503 01:22:08,160 --> 01:22:10,040 Speaker 1: that last week they lost the game in a completely 1504 01:22:10,080 --> 01:22:13,680 Speaker 1: different way. You may have already forgotten because there's been 1505 01:22:13,680 --> 01:22:16,640 Speaker 1: so much other news. Minute twenty five to play in 1506 01:22:16,640 --> 01:22:19,519 Speaker 1: the game, Patrick Mahomes completes the pass to Travis Kelsey, 1507 01:22:20,280 --> 01:22:24,560 Speaker 1: who throws this improvised lateral to Cadarius Tony. They executed 1508 01:22:24,600 --> 01:22:27,840 Speaker 1: it perfectly. It was a gadget play. Tony, who is 1509 01:22:27,880 --> 01:22:29,800 Speaker 1: a great athlete, was able to waltz into the end 1510 01:22:29,880 --> 01:22:32,280 Speaker 1: zone and beat the defense for what appeared to be 1511 01:22:32,320 --> 01:22:34,240 Speaker 1: the go ahead touchdown. But the play was waved off 1512 01:22:34,360 --> 01:22:37,800 Speaker 1: side or check that waved off because Tony had lined 1513 01:22:37,880 --> 01:22:43,920 Speaker 1: up off sides again, a very baffling play by Cardarius Tony. 1514 01:22:44,360 --> 01:22:47,360 Speaker 1: He was offside by a mile for no other reason 1515 01:22:47,880 --> 01:22:53,000 Speaker 1: than pure carelessness. It gapped out. It wasn't as though 1516 01:22:53,000 --> 01:22:55,800 Speaker 1: the Chiefs were washing to get to the line. The 1517 01:22:55,840 --> 01:22:59,120 Speaker 1: clock was stopped. It's the kind of mistake you can't 1518 01:22:59,120 --> 01:23:01,400 Speaker 1: even make in high school at any point in any game, 1519 01:23:01,760 --> 01:23:04,559 Speaker 1: let alone as you're driving to win, and what would 1520 01:23:04,560 --> 01:23:08,519 Speaker 1: have been a key victory against Buffalo to win the game, 1521 01:23:09,479 --> 01:23:12,680 Speaker 1: then it gets wiped out. And it was a remarkable touchdown. 1522 01:23:13,400 --> 01:23:16,320 Speaker 1: It goes from a highlight film to a highlight real 1523 01:23:16,400 --> 01:23:22,800 Speaker 1: play to a depressing event. The good news for the 1524 01:23:22,880 --> 01:23:26,439 Speaker 1: Chiefs is they quote have a pretty easy schedule coming up. 1525 01:23:26,479 --> 01:23:28,759 Speaker 1: I always cringe when people say that about the National 1526 01:23:28,760 --> 01:23:32,479 Speaker 1: Football League because it's a gauntlet. These guys are trained killers. 1527 01:23:32,960 --> 01:23:35,200 Speaker 1: You better be on your best behavior because anybody can 1528 01:23:35,240 --> 01:23:39,519 Speaker 1: beat anybody on any Sunday. That's a fact. They do 1529 01:23:39,560 --> 01:23:41,400 Speaker 1: face the Packs and they're notine and a half point 1530 01:23:41,439 --> 01:23:44,240 Speaker 1: favorite Sunday. We're gonna coming up. We're gonna break down 1531 01:23:44,280 --> 01:23:47,400 Speaker 1: all these games in depth. Then you play the Raiders, 1532 01:23:47,439 --> 01:23:50,240 Speaker 1: and then you got the Bengals and Chargers. All those 1533 01:23:50,320 --> 01:23:54,920 Speaker 1: four teams, only Cincinnati has a winning record. So would 1534 01:23:54,920 --> 01:23:57,360 Speaker 1: it surprise me if the Chiefs still finish eleven and six, 1535 01:23:57,880 --> 01:24:00,880 Speaker 1: still win the AFC West, still get home playoff game, 1536 01:24:01,040 --> 01:24:04,320 Speaker 1: Not at all. Actually expect that to happen. And when 1537 01:24:04,360 --> 01:24:08,080 Speaker 1: they play the Chargers, they're gonna have a backup. That's 1538 01:24:08,120 --> 01:24:11,160 Speaker 1: the theme of this year, the year of the quarterback, backup. 1539 01:24:11,640 --> 01:24:15,639 Speaker 1: Justin finger broke Justin finger. Listen to me, Justin Herbert 1540 01:24:15,680 --> 01:24:19,680 Speaker 1: broke his finger Sunday. And it's not time for the 1541 01:24:19,720 --> 01:24:22,920 Speaker 1: Chiefs to panic the Broncos. Yeah, they're a game back 1542 01:24:22,920 --> 01:24:26,320 Speaker 1: in the division race, not anymore. They got smoked in Detroit. 1543 01:24:27,120 --> 01:24:32,320 Speaker 1: So their path to a six straight conference championship game 1544 01:24:33,120 --> 01:24:38,320 Speaker 1: or conference championship it may look a little a little challenging, 1545 01:24:39,120 --> 01:24:41,200 Speaker 1: but I'm betting the Chiefs will write the ship. As 1546 01:24:41,240 --> 01:24:44,160 Speaker 1: long as you got Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid, They're 1547 01:24:44,160 --> 01:24:46,400 Speaker 1: gonna figure this thing out. Now. Philadelphia has lost to 1548 01:24:46,439 --> 01:24:49,760 Speaker 1: the Cowboys might have been the most damaging because it 1549 01:24:49,880 --> 01:24:53,880 Speaker 1: dropped them to ten and three. That's the same record 1550 01:24:53,960 --> 01:24:58,719 Speaker 1: as Dallas, but the Cowboys hold the tiebreaker, which means 1551 01:24:59,240 --> 01:25:01,760 Speaker 1: if the Eagles don't figure this out, they could be 1552 01:25:01,800 --> 01:25:06,120 Speaker 1: relegated to the NFC's top wildcard spot. But this is 1553 01:25:06,160 --> 01:25:09,439 Speaker 1: a week to week league. People can easily be prisoner 1554 01:25:09,479 --> 01:25:12,320 Speaker 1: of the moment, and they can easily overreact to what 1555 01:25:12,400 --> 01:25:15,479 Speaker 1: happened the week before. Everybody had high hopes for Denver. 1556 01:25:15,640 --> 01:25:17,920 Speaker 1: You saw what happened Saturday night. People were ready to 1557 01:25:18,000 --> 01:25:19,920 Speaker 1: jump ship on Detroit. I was not one of them. 1558 01:25:20,080 --> 01:25:26,639 Speaker 1: You saw what happen Saturday night Minnesota. They'd been hard charging, 1559 01:25:26,880 --> 01:25:30,600 Speaker 1: believe it or not, heading into Saturday's game against Cincinnati. 1560 01:25:30,920 --> 01:25:33,519 Speaker 1: Had Minnesota run the table in their final four games 1561 01:25:34,120 --> 01:25:36,600 Speaker 1: they would have won the NFC North that would have 1562 01:25:36,600 --> 01:25:40,200 Speaker 1: included two victories over Detroit. Minnesota would have ended eleven 1563 01:25:40,240 --> 01:25:42,639 Speaker 1: and six, and even if Detroit into eleven and six, 1564 01:25:42,760 --> 01:25:46,840 Speaker 1: Minnesota would have had the tiebreaker. It's a week to 1565 01:25:46,960 --> 01:25:51,640 Speaker 1: week league. You cannot overreact, you cannot panic. Coming up, 1566 01:25:51,680 --> 01:25:54,280 Speaker 1: we're going to start to break down these games, the 1567 01:25:54,400 --> 01:25:58,519 Speaker 1: storylines to watch.

Tampa Bay visits Green 1584 01:27:05,920 --> 01:27:08,879 Speaker 1: Bay The Bays Green Bay Land three and a half 1585 01:27:09,680 --> 01:27:13,360 Speaker 1: the storyline to watch sort of believe it or not, 1586 01:27:13,560 --> 01:27:15,880 Speaker 1: This is a third straight year Baker Mayfield has had 1587 01:27:15,880 --> 01:27:19,000 Speaker 1: to play a game at Lambellfield with three different teams. 1588 01:27:19,320 --> 01:27:22,439 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, by the way, he's throwing five interceptions in 1589 01:27:22,479 --> 01:27:25,800 Speaker 1: those two games. However, the Packers they don't get a 1590 01:27:25,840 --> 01:27:28,599 Speaker 1: lot of interceptions, even only had six picks the entire year, 1591 01:27:29,240 --> 01:27:32,559 Speaker 1: one in the last five games. But both of these 1592 01:27:32,600 --> 01:27:35,240 Speaker 1: teams are alive for the playoffs, and even the Buccaneers, 1593 01:27:35,560 --> 01:27:39,280 Speaker 1: they're very much alive to potentially win the NFC South title. 1594 01:27:40,080 --> 01:27:43,960 Speaker 1: A win, according to these stupid analytics, would give them 1595 01:27:44,280 --> 01:27:47,240 Speaker 1: a forty nine percent chance. It would also give the 1596 01:27:47,240 --> 01:27:50,000 Speaker 1: Bucks a sixty five percent chance to make the playoffs overall. 1597 01:27:50,640 --> 01:27:54,120 Speaker 1: Might be a tough talk, tough task, though Tampa Bay 1598 01:27:54,200 --> 01:27:58,960 Speaker 1: historically has not done well playing under forty degrees up north. 1599 01:27:59,320 --> 01:28:02,640 Speaker 1: In December, and you know, the Packers have won and 1600 01:28:02,720 --> 01:28:05,880 Speaker 1: covered three straight home games. I'm very impressed with what 1601 01:28:06,040 --> 01:28:09,120 Speaker 1: Jordan Love has done Tampa Bay one of the things 1602 01:28:09,120 --> 01:28:12,960 Speaker 1: to watch. Tampa Bay likes to blitz a lot. Jordan 1603 01:28:13,040 --> 01:28:15,400 Speaker 1: Love is excellent against the blitz. He ranks fourth in 1604 01:28:15,479 --> 01:28:19,519 Speaker 1: QBR and against the blitz he's throwing eight touchdowns and 1605 01:28:19,600 --> 01:28:23,320 Speaker 1: no interceptions. Can he keep it going? I think so. 1606 01:28:24,200 --> 01:28:26,519 Speaker 1: I'm impressed with Jordan Love, and we'll see if he 1607 01:28:26,520 --> 01:28:28,840 Speaker 1: can keep it going. This feels like a twenty four 1608 01:28:28,880 --> 01:28:34,880 Speaker 1: to seventeen type. Packers w Texans seven and six. I 1609 01:28:35,120 --> 01:28:38,120 Speaker 1: said it a bazillion times. I cannot say enough good 1610 01:28:38,120 --> 01:28:42,000 Speaker 1: things about Themico Ryans. They're seven and six. They got 1611 01:28:42,000 --> 01:28:44,479 Speaker 1: a shot at the playoffs. They visit the Titans, who 1612 01:28:44,479 --> 01:28:47,880 Speaker 1: are five and eight. Titans coming off that huge Monday 1613 01:28:47,960 --> 01:28:52,559 Speaker 1: Night win as a double digit dog, big win. Now 1614 01:28:53,240 --> 01:28:57,600 Speaker 1: the Titans, Uh, well, you're gonna see again. Here we 1615 01:28:57,640 --> 01:29:00,679 Speaker 1: are again with backups, right, I think see Jay Stroud 1616 01:29:00,840 --> 01:29:03,960 Speaker 1: is out. You're gonna see he's got I don't think 1617 01:29:04,000 --> 01:29:07,439 Speaker 1: he's cleared concussion protocol for the best of my knowledge. 1618 01:29:08,000 --> 01:29:12,240 Speaker 1: So you'll see case keenum and you see Will Levis again. 1619 01:29:12,960 --> 01:29:17,360 Speaker 1: The motif continues, the movie continues. This is the year 1620 01:29:17,439 --> 01:29:21,280 Speaker 1: of the backup quarterback in the National Football League. Now, 1621 01:29:21,880 --> 01:29:24,760 Speaker 1: the Titans have not exactly been stellar through the air 1622 01:29:24,840 --> 01:29:30,040 Speaker 1: this year, but they do have ten passing plays of 1623 01:29:30,280 --> 01:29:33,479 Speaker 1: forty or more yards, which puts him in a time 1624 01:29:33,560 --> 01:29:37,439 Speaker 1: for second place. Yeah, those Titans. Here's what's interesting. Of 1625 01:29:37,479 --> 01:29:41,200 Speaker 1: those ten passing plays, Will Levis is responsible for five 1626 01:29:41,240 --> 01:29:45,879 Speaker 1: of them in only seven starts. But styles make fights. 1627 01:29:46,520 --> 01:29:51,840 Speaker 1: Houston has an excellent secondary. They're allowing about two hundred 1628 01:29:51,840 --> 01:29:53,640 Speaker 1: and forty yards passing per game, but they don't give 1629 01:29:53,680 --> 01:29:56,800 Speaker 1: him a lot of big plays. We shall see what 1630 01:29:56,840 --> 01:30:01,280 Speaker 1: we shall see in that game. Derrick Henry seems to 1631 01:30:01,320 --> 01:30:03,559 Speaker 1: be getting into mid season form. He's at least two 1632 01:30:03,600 --> 01:30:07,400 Speaker 1: rushing touchdowns in three straight games, second time in his career. 1633 01:30:08,200 --> 01:30:11,360 Speaker 1: And what's at stake, Well, all playoff fives are on 1634 01:30:11,400 --> 01:30:14,439 Speaker 1: the Texans here. If they win this game on the 1635 01:30:14,520 --> 01:30:19,240 Speaker 1: road with a backup quarterback at Tennessee, the stats give 1636 01:30:19,280 --> 01:30:22,120 Speaker 1: them fifty eight percent chance to make the playoffs, and 1637 01:30:22,160 --> 01:30:25,479 Speaker 1: this is a divisional game, but if they lose, they 1638 01:30:25,600 --> 01:30:29,600 Speaker 1: drop to a twenty five percent likelihood. Any way you 1639 01:30:29,720 --> 01:30:35,240 Speaker 1: slice it. Demico Ryan's team has already been successful this year, 1640 01:30:36,040 --> 01:30:38,519 Speaker 1: and their chances to win the division they're not zero, 1641 01:30:38,600 --> 01:30:41,120 Speaker 1: they're not great. But the fact that you're even having 1642 01:30:41,160 --> 01:30:44,800 Speaker 1: this discussion in December says everything you need to know 1643 01:30:46,240 --> 01:30:49,280 Speaker 1: as far as betting. Titans are two and six outright 1644 01:30:49,320 --> 01:30:53,080 Speaker 1: and against the number against teams with winning records. But again, 1645 01:30:53,479 --> 01:30:55,679 Speaker 1: I don't know if that correlates here because you don't 1646 01:30:55,680 --> 01:30:58,599 Speaker 1: have CJ. Stroud. Where am I going with this? Stay 1647 01:30:58,640 --> 01:31:02,120 Speaker 1: away from this game. It's a pick them. I think 1648 01:31:02,160 --> 01:31:04,760 Speaker 1: the first team to twenty points wins this game. That's 1649 01:31:04,800 --> 01:31:06,559 Speaker 1: the way I see it, And I don't know which 1650 01:31:06,560 --> 01:31:08,559 Speaker 1: team to get to twenty points. And there could always 1651 01:31:08,560 --> 01:31:12,400 Speaker 1: be defensive scores, there could be special team scores. You 1652 01:31:12,439 --> 01:31:15,960 Speaker 1: know where I'm going with that, all right? The Dolphins 1653 01:31:16,479 --> 01:31:21,759 Speaker 1: find themselves in a similar position. They're an expensive home favorite. 1654 01:31:21,760 --> 01:31:23,759 Speaker 1: They're laying eight and a half against the visiting Jets. 1655 01:31:24,520 --> 01:31:27,720 Speaker 1: But now it appears that the Dolphins offense isn't hurting. 1656 01:31:27,760 --> 01:31:31,360 Speaker 1: They were the recipient of that kick in the shins 1657 01:31:31,880 --> 01:31:34,960 Speaker 1: by the Tennessee Titans yet a night after leading by 1658 01:31:35,000 --> 01:31:39,840 Speaker 1: two touchdowns, and now in addition, I'm not sure if 1659 01:31:39,840 --> 01:31:42,639 Speaker 1: they'll have Tyreek Hill. He injured his ankle and Monday's 1660 01:31:42,640 --> 01:31:46,559 Speaker 1: loss to the Titans. That would hurt the Dolphins, Okay, 1661 01:31:47,600 --> 01:31:49,599 Speaker 1: and it would be in charge of territory. He'll did 1662 01:31:49,600 --> 01:31:51,679 Speaker 1: play last week, he just had to leave the game. 1663 01:31:52,080 --> 01:31:54,799 Speaker 1: He hasn't missed a single game since he was treated 1664 01:31:54,800 --> 01:31:57,920 Speaker 1: to the Dolphins in twenty twenty two. The question would 1665 01:31:57,960 --> 01:32:00,840 Speaker 1: be can the Jets and it's a relative meaningless game 1666 01:32:00,880 --> 01:32:04,800 Speaker 1: for the Jets are playing for pride. The question is 1667 01:32:04,840 --> 01:32:09,400 Speaker 1: can the Jets capitalize on the injuries that the Miami 1668 01:32:09,680 --> 01:32:12,720 Speaker 1: Dolphins have. They've got a couple starting offensive linemen that 1669 01:32:12,760 --> 01:32:16,200 Speaker 1: have missed a bunch of games that are out and 1670 01:32:16,720 --> 01:32:19,760 Speaker 1: you know they've got a couple of linemen they're gonna 1671 01:32:19,760 --> 01:32:22,000 Speaker 1: miss the rest of the year. And then even even 1672 01:32:22,000 --> 01:32:25,920 Speaker 1: though you've got guys like toront Armstead, he can make 1673 01:32:25,960 --> 01:32:27,840 Speaker 1: his return to the field, but he's not one hundred percent. 1674 01:32:28,560 --> 01:32:32,719 Speaker 1: The question will be, of course, will Zach Wilson performed 1675 01:32:32,720 --> 01:32:36,360 Speaker 1: better against the Dolphins that Tim Boyle did three weeks ago. 1676 01:32:36,479 --> 01:32:40,200 Speaker 1: That's almost impossible not to do. I try to warn you, 1677 01:32:40,479 --> 01:32:43,160 Speaker 1: we saw what Tim Boyle did in Detroit. Hey, he 1678 01:32:43,240 --> 01:32:45,519 Speaker 1: got to the National Football League. He's gonna be a 1679 01:32:45,520 --> 01:32:47,880 Speaker 1: big man on campus at his high school reunion. But 1680 01:32:47,960 --> 01:32:51,120 Speaker 1: he didn't resemble a major league quarterback, did he? All Right, 1681 01:32:51,920 --> 01:32:56,360 Speaker 1: Wilson hasn't played well historically against Miami. I get you 1682 01:32:56,360 --> 01:32:59,880 Speaker 1: can say it's a short sample size. He's never thrown 1683 01:32:59,920 --> 01:33:03,040 Speaker 1: a touchdown pass against Miami. Part of the reason is, 1684 01:33:03,320 --> 01:33:06,920 Speaker 1: let's not forget Miami's done well with Tula, and they've 1685 01:33:06,960 --> 01:33:12,360 Speaker 1: been very prolific offensively. It's still a Vic Fangio coached defense. 1686 01:33:13,360 --> 01:33:15,600 Speaker 1: Not to mention you got a couple pretty good quarterbacks 1687 01:33:16,200 --> 01:33:20,439 Speaker 1: in Jalen Ramsey and Xavian Howard. Meanwhile, the Jets, well, 1688 01:33:20,479 --> 01:33:24,120 Speaker 1: they've lost ten straight divisional road games. That's a very 1689 01:33:24,280 --> 01:33:28,880 Speaker 1: long streak. The X factor well, Tula, he struggled Monday 1690 01:33:28,920 --> 01:33:31,799 Speaker 1: without Tarreek Hill. Now he's facing a pretty good defense 1691 01:33:31,840 --> 01:33:35,000 Speaker 1: in the Jets that, according to FPI, is the best 1692 01:33:35,000 --> 01:33:37,599 Speaker 1: in the NFL. This is going to be a test 1693 01:33:37,640 --> 01:33:44,160 Speaker 1: for the Dolphins offense, especially if Tyreek Hill is out. Dolphins. Yes, 1694 01:33:44,200 --> 01:33:46,599 Speaker 1: they are seven to two against the number his favorites 1695 01:33:46,600 --> 01:33:49,920 Speaker 1: this season. Tua seventeen and eleven against the number in 1696 01:33:50,000 --> 01:33:53,360 Speaker 1: his career as a favorite, including nine to four when 1697 01:33:53,400 --> 01:33:55,280 Speaker 1: he's laying at least six points. They're laying eight and 1698 01:33:55,280 --> 01:33:59,719 Speaker 1: a half. I believe strongly the Dolphins will win this game. 1699 01:34:00,720 --> 01:34:04,040 Speaker 1: It depends. It depends if they can get their offense 1700 01:34:04,080 --> 01:34:06,439 Speaker 1: going and if Tyreek Hill plays or they adjust without them. 1701 01:34:06,560 --> 01:34:08,479 Speaker 1: If they do, I think they score thirty points. I 1702 01:34:08,520 --> 01:34:11,160 Speaker 1: don't think the Jets can get above seventeen points. If 1703 01:34:11,160 --> 01:34:13,680 Speaker 1: they struggle, they might score twenty one points. Still, I 1704 01:34:13,680 --> 01:34:16,280 Speaker 1: don't think the Jets can get above seventeen points. Not 1705 01:34:16,360 --> 01:34:18,320 Speaker 1: a game i'd be rushing to the window to play. 1706 01:34:18,600 --> 01:34:20,320 Speaker 1: But if you're looking for a teaser and you want 1707 01:34:20,360 --> 01:34:22,840 Speaker 1: to cross through the key numbers of three, four, six, 1708 01:34:22,880 --> 01:34:25,320 Speaker 1: and seven, you can tease Miami down on a six 1709 01:34:25,320 --> 01:34:27,559 Speaker 1: point taser down to two and a half, and we'll 1710 01:34:27,560 --> 01:34:29,519 Speaker 1: find you another game to pair it up with. That 1711 01:34:29,640 --> 01:34:32,800 Speaker 1: might be the way to go. I can't see the 1712 01:34:32,880 --> 01:34:36,360 Speaker 1: Jets stealing a w down there. But again, but again, 1713 01:34:36,840 --> 01:34:41,280 Speaker 1: I didn't see Tennessee beating the Dolphins Monday night either. 1714 01:34:42,560 --> 01:34:45,040 Speaker 1: Another game that's a little on the weird side for 1715 01:34:45,160 --> 01:34:49,080 Speaker 1: multiple reasons. I told you Derek Carr is everything I 1716 01:34:49,120 --> 01:34:52,000 Speaker 1: thought he wasn't in less, there's a reason he's sixty 1717 01:34:52,040 --> 01:34:56,600 Speaker 1: three and seventy nine against as a starter before he 1718 01:34:56,640 --> 01:34:58,439 Speaker 1: got to the Saints. The Saints as six and seven 1719 01:34:58,479 --> 01:35:00,120 Speaker 1: this year. I don't think he's making a lot lot 1720 01:35:00,120 --> 01:35:02,760 Speaker 1: of friends down in New Orleans. He's been brutal in 1721 01:35:02,800 --> 01:35:05,479 Speaker 1: the red zone, brutal on third down. The Saints passing 1722 01:35:05,520 --> 01:35:09,719 Speaker 1: offense has struggled. Derek Carr had only thirty seven yards 1723 01:35:10,080 --> 01:35:12,559 Speaker 1: through most of Sunday's wins against the Panthers last week, 1724 01:35:12,600 --> 01:35:15,200 Speaker 1: before he did throw a couple of late touchdowns at 1725 01:35:15,240 --> 01:35:18,240 Speaker 1: Jimmy Graham and Chris o'lavey finished with the lopping one 1726 01:35:18,320 --> 01:35:22,120 Speaker 1: hundred and nineteen passing yards. That's the Derek Carr we 1727 01:35:22,240 --> 01:35:25,080 Speaker 1: know in love. The Giants could prove to be passky. 1728 01:35:25,120 --> 01:35:27,639 Speaker 1: They're catching six points here, they're five and eight. They're 1729 01:35:27,680 --> 01:35:31,080 Speaker 1: playing with pride now, and the Giants defense has only 1730 01:35:31,080 --> 01:35:34,280 Speaker 1: been giving up one hundred and eighty yards passing yards 1731 01:35:34,320 --> 01:35:38,360 Speaker 1: per game over the last four weeks. I expect Saquon 1732 01:35:38,439 --> 01:35:40,559 Speaker 1: Barkley to have a pretty good day. I expect him 1733 01:35:40,560 --> 01:35:44,639 Speaker 1: to go over one hundred yards, and I think the Saints. 1734 01:35:44,840 --> 01:35:47,360 Speaker 1: I mean, if you look at the Saints defense, they've 1735 01:35:47,360 --> 01:35:49,759 Speaker 1: actually allowed more than one hundred and fifty rushing yards 1736 01:35:50,160 --> 01:35:53,800 Speaker 1: and for their past six games. Again, here we are 1737 01:35:54,120 --> 01:35:59,439 Speaker 1: another backup quarterback. Tommy DeVito has seven passing touchdowns and 1738 01:35:59,479 --> 01:36:02,439 Speaker 1: his four starts that's tied it for the second most 1739 01:36:02,479 --> 01:36:05,360 Speaker 1: passing touchdowns by a player in their first four starts 1740 01:36:05,360 --> 01:36:09,400 Speaker 1: with the Giants since fran Tarkented did it like sixty 1741 01:36:09,439 --> 01:36:13,200 Speaker 1: five years ago, bolled kids, fran Tarket it was pretty good. 1742 01:36:13,840 --> 01:36:15,679 Speaker 1: I think I've told you the joke many times about 1743 01:36:15,680 --> 01:36:18,240 Speaker 1: when he hosted Saturday Night Live. How about the hell 1744 01:36:18,240 --> 01:36:22,000 Speaker 1: I'll tell it again. The Raiders beat beat forty, they 1745 01:36:22,040 --> 01:36:24,880 Speaker 1: beat the Well. Super Bowl eleven played at the Rose 1746 01:36:24,880 --> 01:36:28,800 Speaker 1: Bowl January ninth, nineteen seventy seven. The Vikings lost thirty 1747 01:36:28,800 --> 01:36:34,960 Speaker 1: two to fourteen. The following Saturday, fran Tarkented hosted Saturday 1748 01:36:35,040 --> 01:36:38,360 Speaker 1: Night Live and he get us up there and gives 1749 01:36:38,360 --> 01:36:41,760 Speaker 1: the monologue and he says, I'm fran Tarktin, quarterback of 1750 01:36:41,800 --> 01:36:44,880 Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings. We've been to the Super Bowl four 1751 01:36:44,960 --> 01:36:49,120 Speaker 1: times in the last eight years, and we've lost all four. 1752 01:36:49,320 --> 01:36:51,960 Speaker 1: And you know what, we're going back next year. E 1753 01:36:51,960 --> 01:36:55,960 Speaker 1: We're gonna lose again. Nice job, mark right on. Cute. 1754 01:36:56,760 --> 01:37:00,799 Speaker 1: The bottom line is well, Tommy DeVito and Tommy Cutltz 1755 01:37:00,880 --> 01:37:02,160 Speaker 1: or whatever you want to call him, or you want 1756 01:37:02,160 --> 01:37:05,920 Speaker 1: to hear Dan Orlowski's goofy accent. That really looks goofy. 1757 01:37:06,600 --> 01:37:09,519 Speaker 1: What's gonna happen here? You know? Honest to god, I 1758 01:37:09,520 --> 01:37:11,240 Speaker 1: think the Giants could really be a thorn in their 1759 01:37:11,320 --> 01:37:15,240 Speaker 1: side tomorrow. There's no way I'm laying the six and 1760 01:37:15,320 --> 01:37:18,559 Speaker 1: I may grab the six. It feels like a twenty 1761 01:37:18,600 --> 01:37:25,839 Speaker 1: to seventeen Saints win just because but the Giants defense, 1762 01:37:27,200 --> 01:37:31,680 Speaker 1: they've only allowed three touchdowns per game. Believe it. It's well, 1763 01:37:31,920 --> 01:37:34,240 Speaker 1: let's not get into the numbers, because you've got a 1764 01:37:34,280 --> 01:37:37,320 Speaker 1: situation with a backup quarterback who's been hot. And what 1765 01:37:37,400 --> 01:37:39,839 Speaker 1: if I told you already a bunch of times tonight? 1766 01:37:41,000 --> 01:37:43,880 Speaker 1: The NFL is a week to week league. You could 1767 01:37:43,920 --> 01:37:46,400 Speaker 1: see a great effort out of the Saints Sunday and 1768 01:37:46,479 --> 01:37:48,559 Speaker 1: shut the Giants down. Am I expecting that? 1769 01:37:48,720 --> 01:37:48,800 Speaker 8: No? 1770 01:37:49,320 --> 01:37:52,800 Speaker 1: The Giants are free and easy looses a goose. The 1771 01:37:52,840 --> 01:37:55,320 Speaker 1: Saints they're in danger of not winning that division and 1772 01:37:55,360 --> 01:37:57,400 Speaker 1: not going to the playoffs. And Derek Carr was supposed 1773 01:37:57,400 --> 01:37:59,640 Speaker 1: to be their SAVI of year. I told you, I 1774 01:37:59,680 --> 01:38:02,040 Speaker 1: told you I'm gonna I'm gonna continue to tell you, 1775 01:38:02,640 --> 01:38:05,400 Speaker 1: so we'll see what happens. But I would take a 1776 01:38:05,439 --> 01:38:07,000 Speaker 1: hard look at grab at the points. That is not 1777 01:38:07,080 --> 01:38:10,320 Speaker 1: a teaser candidate. You've got to be above seven and 1778 01:38:10,360 --> 01:38:12,960 Speaker 1: a half for there to be a teaser candyd don't 1779 01:38:13,000 --> 01:38:16,200 Speaker 1: tease the Saints down to pick them and think you're 1780 01:38:16,200 --> 01:38:18,000 Speaker 1: doing the right thing. You're not. And don't tease the 1781 01:38:18,000 --> 01:38:20,240 Speaker 1: New York Giants up. That's not the way this game works. 1782 01:38:20,240 --> 01:38:24,000 Speaker 1: You gotta let the math work for you. One of 1783 01:38:24,000 --> 01:38:27,080 Speaker 1: the games I'm interested to, very interested to watch Sunday 1784 01:38:27,120 --> 01:38:30,639 Speaker 1: because I am of the belief the Chiefs get right 1785 01:38:30,800 --> 01:38:32,479 Speaker 1: and go three and one down the stretch, if not 1786 01:38:32,520 --> 01:38:35,360 Speaker 1: four to zero down the stretch, and finish strong. I 1787 01:38:35,400 --> 01:38:39,160 Speaker 1: believe in the organization. Again, a drop pass by Kadarius 1788 01:38:39,200 --> 01:38:41,280 Speaker 1: Tony in week one or they likely would have beaten 1789 01:38:41,280 --> 01:38:44,000 Speaker 1: the Lions, although again I give the Lion's top credit 1790 01:38:44,520 --> 01:38:46,720 Speaker 1: for going into Arrowhead and winning. That gave youn knowee 1791 01:38:46,760 --> 01:38:50,040 Speaker 1: they didn't have Travis Kelce. Chiefs could have won Cadarious 1792 01:38:50,040 --> 01:38:53,120 Speaker 1: Tony drops the pass last week. You saw what happened 1793 01:38:53,160 --> 01:38:55,320 Speaker 1: on the off sides. The Chiefs could easily be ten 1794 01:38:55,360 --> 01:38:58,320 Speaker 1: and three, but they're not fifts and butts for Kenny 1795 01:38:58,360 --> 01:39:01,439 Speaker 1: and nuts. You know I have a merry Christmas. Santa 1796 01:39:01,479 --> 01:39:04,920 Speaker 1: Claus is coming in eight days. Look. Bill Belichick is 1797 01:39:05,000 --> 01:39:09,080 Speaker 1: second on the all time wins list, and if you 1798 01:39:09,120 --> 01:39:11,160 Speaker 1: include playoffs, he's won three hundred and thirty two games. 1799 01:39:11,200 --> 01:39:14,720 Speaker 1: By the way, Andy Reid, he's no piker either. He's 1800 01:39:14,760 --> 01:39:17,240 Speaker 1: closing ground quickly. He has two hundred and seventy seven 1801 01:39:17,320 --> 01:39:19,799 Speaker 1: victories that ranks him fourth of all time behind Belichick. 1802 01:39:21,000 --> 01:39:25,559 Speaker 1: This is the first time that two head coaches in 1803 01:39:25,600 --> 01:39:31,559 Speaker 1: the top five in career regular season wins have faced 1804 01:39:31,600 --> 01:39:35,679 Speaker 1: off against each other since Week four of nineteen ninety 1805 01:39:36,080 --> 01:39:40,559 Speaker 1: that's when Don Schules Dolphins met Chuck Noll Steelers. The 1806 01:39:40,600 --> 01:39:44,240 Speaker 1: game was originally scheduled for ESPN Monday Night Football before 1807 01:39:44,280 --> 01:39:48,040 Speaker 1: becoming the first ever Monday night game flexed to Sunday. 1808 01:39:49,280 --> 01:39:51,080 Speaker 1: This is the first year of the league has experimented 1809 01:39:51,120 --> 01:39:54,840 Speaker 1: with money games, mainly due to the Patriots struggles. But 1810 01:39:56,000 --> 01:39:58,719 Speaker 1: if you're three to ten, even if you're Bill Belichick, 1811 01:39:58,760 --> 01:40:00,920 Speaker 1: I don't think people want us on Monday Night. But 1812 01:40:00,960 --> 01:40:02,200 Speaker 1: at the beginning of the year this looked like it 1813 01:40:02,320 --> 01:40:04,400 Speaker 1: might be a Monday night game. But you got two 1814 01:40:04,479 --> 01:40:08,120 Speaker 1: top five coaches of all time wins right. What do 1815 01:40:08,160 --> 01:40:11,160 Speaker 1: I think's gonna happen? I think Bailey Sappy's gonna get 1816 01:40:11,240 --> 01:40:13,760 Speaker 1: hit more than Rocky bell Ball. He'll be sacked three 1817 01:40:13,840 --> 01:40:18,040 Speaker 1: or four times. Travis Kelcey he's only six receptions away 1818 01:40:18,360 --> 01:40:21,720 Speaker 1: from nine hundred for his career. What's at stake? The 1819 01:40:21,800 --> 01:40:24,679 Speaker 1: Chiefs can get right here if they win their ninety 1820 01:40:24,680 --> 01:40:27,240 Speaker 1: five percent to win the AFC West, if they can 1821 01:40:27,560 --> 01:40:31,240 Speaker 1: just beat the Patriots. What do I think is gonna happen? 1822 01:40:31,800 --> 01:40:34,120 Speaker 1: I believe the Chiefs win by ten or more. I 1823 01:40:34,120 --> 01:40:36,080 Speaker 1: think you're looking at a twenty seven to ten game, 1824 01:40:36,760 --> 01:40:38,840 Speaker 1: twenty four to ten, thirty, whatever the case may be. 1825 01:40:38,920 --> 01:40:40,880 Speaker 1: The reason I like the Lions Saturday is I told 1826 01:40:40,920 --> 01:40:43,840 Speaker 1: you last night the Lions can put up thirty. Denver 1827 01:40:43,880 --> 01:40:46,439 Speaker 1: really can't. And once the Lions did that, it was over. 1828 01:40:46,640 --> 01:40:50,479 Speaker 1: I think he sees something similar on Sunday and the 1829 01:40:50,520 --> 01:40:54,640 Speaker 1: Chiefs get right. Coming up, we continue with Falcons, Panthers, 1830 01:40:55,240 --> 01:41:02,720 Speaker 1: Commander's Rams, forty nine, Ers, Cardinals, Cowboys, Bill and Ravens Jaguars, 1831 01:41:02,720 --> 01:41:06,360 Speaker 1: and that's also not forget Eagles Seahawks on Monday night. 1832 01:41:06,439 --> 01:41:09,360 Speaker 1: But first let's go back to our guy, the hardest 1833 01:41:09,360 --> 01:41:12,240 Speaker 1: working man in show business, Martin Weiss, You. 1834 01:41:12,200 --> 01:41:13,840 Speaker 4: Just said you liked the Lions. You knew they could 1835 01:41:13,840 --> 01:41:14,559 Speaker 4: score thirty. 1836 01:41:14,640 --> 01:41:17,960 Speaker 7: Well, they scored twelve more than that, forty two against 1837 01:41:17,960 --> 01:41:21,560 Speaker 7: the Denver Broncos. Do I win the price if you 1838 01:41:21,680 --> 01:41:22,679 Speaker 7: bet minus four? 1839 01:41:22,720 --> 01:41:23,120 Speaker 4: You did? 1840 01:41:23,479 --> 01:41:27,160 Speaker 7: I did, Son and I Lions beat the Broncos forty 1841 01:41:27,160 --> 01:41:30,320 Speaker 7: two to seventeen. Jared Golf five touchdown passes. Sam la 1842 01:41:30,360 --> 01:41:33,519 Speaker 7: Porter caught three of those. The Indianapolis Colts Bradie they 1843 01:41:33,520 --> 01:41:36,000 Speaker 7: were down thirteen or nothing in the second quarter and 1844 01:41:36,040 --> 01:41:38,599 Speaker 7: then it all went right for Indy Garder Mitchell could 1845 01:41:38,640 --> 01:41:41,240 Speaker 7: throw three touchdown passes on the way to a thirty 1846 01:41:41,280 --> 01:41:44,360 Speaker 7: to thirteen win over Pittsburgh. It's ugly right now in 1847 01:41:44,640 --> 01:41:47,840 Speaker 7: Steeler Land. They've lost four of the last five. Cincinnati 1848 01:41:47,880 --> 01:41:50,240 Speaker 7: won an overtime against Minnesota twenty seven to twenty Fourte 1849 01:41:50,360 --> 01:41:52,880 Speaker 7: Higgins had one of the more impressive touchdown catches you 1850 01:41:52,880 --> 01:41:55,759 Speaker 7: will see in the NFL this season off a golf 1851 01:41:55,800 --> 01:41:57,920 Speaker 7: ball from Jake Brownie, came out of the end zone, 1852 01:41:58,000 --> 01:42:01,519 Speaker 7: leaned back like Fat Joe, cross over the end zone 1853 01:42:01,600 --> 01:42:05,200 Speaker 7: line to go ahead and tend that game into overtime. 1854 01:42:05,360 --> 01:42:08,000 Speaker 7: We'll see case keenom starting today for the Houston Texans 1855 01:42:08,000 --> 01:42:12,000 Speaker 7: c J. Stroud in concussion protocol. Still the Detroit Pistons 1856 01:42:12,040 --> 01:42:14,919 Speaker 7: sad story, sad state of affairs for a once proud franchise. 1857 01:42:14,960 --> 01:42:18,320 Speaker 7: They've lost twenty three straight games, one forty six to 1858 01:42:18,320 --> 01:42:20,479 Speaker 7: one fourteen at Milwaukee. And if you look around on 1859 01:42:20,520 --> 01:42:23,840 Speaker 7: social media, you'll see videos of Giannis sitting with his kids, 1860 01:42:23,840 --> 01:42:25,040 Speaker 7: not at the postgame. 1861 01:42:24,640 --> 01:42:26,479 Speaker 4: Press conference, Bernie. 1862 01:42:26,000 --> 01:42:26,759 Speaker 1: In the game. 1863 01:42:27,120 --> 01:42:29,160 Speaker 4: His kids were sitting on the bench during the game. 1864 01:42:29,280 --> 01:42:30,639 Speaker 4: I mean his brother's already there. 1865 01:42:30,640 --> 01:42:33,360 Speaker 7: He got this a family affair for the antiety coup 1866 01:42:33,360 --> 01:42:37,320 Speaker 7: post Philadelphia beat the living hell out of Charlotte one 1867 01:42:37,400 --> 01:42:40,240 Speaker 7: thirty five to eighty two. JOELINGBII had forty two points 1868 01:42:40,479 --> 01:42:44,120 Speaker 7: Golden State one twenty four oh to one twenty against Brooklyn. 1869 01:42:44,120 --> 01:42:46,800 Speaker 7: Steph Curry had thirty seven in the win. Clippers won 1870 01:42:46,840 --> 01:42:48,920 Speaker 7: their seventh straight game, one forty four to one twenty 1871 01:42:48,960 --> 01:42:52,440 Speaker 7: two over the Knicks. The Bowl season is upon us UCLA, 1872 01:42:52,560 --> 01:42:57,759 Speaker 7: Fresno State, Appalasia State, Jacksonville State, and Ohio University all winners. 1873 01:42:58,040 --> 01:43:01,639 Speaker 7: College basketball per Due defeated Arizona ninety two to eighty four. 1874 01:43:01,800 --> 01:43:05,479 Speaker 7: Kansas won at Indiana seventy five to seventy one, Houston 1875 01:43:05,479 --> 01:43:05,840 Speaker 7: to beat. 1876 01:43:05,680 --> 01:43:07,360 Speaker 4: Texas A and m seventy to sixty six. 1877 01:43:07,640 --> 01:43:11,719 Speaker 7: But in Detroit, Michigan State upset numbers six Balers State. Oh, 1878 01:43:11,800 --> 01:43:14,080 Speaker 7: a rough year, this rough start this year, but this 1879 01:43:14,160 --> 01:43:16,679 Speaker 7: is gonna make time. Mizzo happy eighty eight to sixty 1880 01:43:16,680 --> 01:43:20,240 Speaker 7: four of the final margin and that matchup. Creighton beat Alabama, 1881 01:43:20,320 --> 01:43:22,760 Speaker 7: Kentucky over in North Carolina and then the NHL. He 1882 01:43:22,800 --> 01:43:25,760 Speaker 7: had two overtime victories last night, the Rangers and the 1883 01:43:25,800 --> 01:43:26,679 Speaker 7: Saint Louis Blues. 1884 01:43:26,920 --> 01:43:27,760 Speaker 4: Burniey back to you. 1885 01:43:28,439 --> 01:43:31,160 Speaker 1: This just in Martin. Wayne State has just accepted an 1886 01:43:31,160 --> 01:43:32,719 Speaker 1: invitation to playing them a newte. 1887 01:43:32,560 --> 01:43:36,240 Speaker 4: Ball Horian Martin, Come on, buddy, all. 1888 01:43:36,200 --> 01:43:41,519 Speaker 1: Right we continue. Most of us haven't noticed this, And 1889 01:43:41,560 --> 01:43:44,120 Speaker 1: if I wasn't such your nerd doing research for the show, 1890 01:43:44,200 --> 01:43:47,839 Speaker 1: I wouldn't have believe it or not when the Falcons 1891 01:43:47,880 --> 01:43:50,919 Speaker 1: take the field at Carolina Sunday. Now get it, Carolina 1892 01:43:51,040 --> 01:43:53,519 Speaker 1: was only one to twelve and the Falcons are six 1893 01:43:53,600 --> 01:43:57,000 Speaker 1: and seven Falcons laying three on the road. Obviously, this 1894 01:43:57,120 --> 01:44:00,519 Speaker 1: game matters a lot more for Atlanta. Why they're actually 1895 01:44:00,520 --> 01:44:03,960 Speaker 1: in a three way tie with the aforementioned Saints, who 1896 01:44:04,000 --> 01:44:06,640 Speaker 1: hosted New York Giants, and Tampa Bay, who hits the 1897 01:44:06,680 --> 01:44:11,559 Speaker 1: Green Bay. There's a three way tie for the NFC 1898 01:44:11,720 --> 01:44:15,400 Speaker 1: South Division lead. Now, do I think Tampa Bay is 1899 01:44:15,439 --> 01:44:18,400 Speaker 1: gonna win in Green Bay? Don't think so. Do I 1900 01:44:18,400 --> 01:44:21,360 Speaker 1: think New Orleans is gonna beat the Giants? They might, 1901 01:44:21,439 --> 01:44:23,519 Speaker 1: but it's far from a loc But I expect the 1902 01:44:23,560 --> 01:44:26,680 Speaker 1: Falcons to defeat the Panthers, which means they would be 1903 01:44:26,800 --> 01:44:30,599 Speaker 1: seven and seven. The Panthers. They've been focused the past 1904 01:44:30,600 --> 01:44:32,439 Speaker 1: few weeks on trying to get a running game going 1905 01:44:32,479 --> 01:44:35,200 Speaker 1: to take the pressure off of Bryce Young. But guess what. 1906 01:44:35,960 --> 01:44:39,000 Speaker 1: The Falcons have a top twelve run defense. They have 1907 01:44:39,000 --> 01:44:43,519 Speaker 1: allowed an NFL low five rushing touchdowns. Now, I like 1908 01:44:43,560 --> 01:44:46,200 Speaker 1: Bryce Young. He is not a deer in the headlights. 1909 01:44:46,240 --> 01:44:48,920 Speaker 1: Give you this kid time, but he is coming. He 1910 01:44:49,040 --> 01:44:52,080 Speaker 1: is coming off arguably the worst game of his rookie season. 1911 01:44:52,439 --> 01:44:55,080 Speaker 1: He only completed thirty six percent of his passes last week. 1912 01:44:55,640 --> 01:44:58,120 Speaker 1: And oh, by the way, he fationed the same Atlanta 1913 01:44:58,200 --> 01:45:00,599 Speaker 1: defense that picked him off twice. And see as an opener, 1914 01:45:01,720 --> 01:45:04,800 Speaker 1: Be that as it may. I think this game goes 1915 01:45:04,840 --> 01:45:09,920 Speaker 1: down to the Nubs Atlanta Land three I think it's 1916 01:45:10,000 --> 01:45:12,519 Speaker 1: going to be a close flot game, and then in 1917 01:45:12,560 --> 01:45:15,639 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, I think Atlanta pulls away and wins 1918 01:45:15,680 --> 01:45:21,559 Speaker 1: by ten. I just cannot see. I cannot see Carolina hanging. 1919 01:45:21,640 --> 01:45:24,000 Speaker 1: This is just a playoff game for Atlanta, all intense purposes. 1920 01:45:24,200 --> 01:45:26,160 Speaker 1: Falcons five to one against his spread in their past 1921 01:45:26,160 --> 01:45:30,240 Speaker 1: six division games. It didn't cover Last week another interesting 1922 01:45:30,320 --> 01:45:33,479 Speaker 1: game from a betting standpoint. The Rams land six and 1923 01:45:33,479 --> 01:45:37,360 Speaker 1: a half. They're hosting the visiting Commanders. The Rams are 1924 01:45:37,360 --> 01:45:40,559 Speaker 1: only six and seven. Matt Stafford is throwing at least 1925 01:45:40,600 --> 01:45:43,880 Speaker 1: three touchdowns, throwing three straight games. That's the longest streak 1926 01:45:43,920 --> 01:45:47,120 Speaker 1: of his career, and he gets to face the worst 1927 01:45:47,160 --> 01:45:51,439 Speaker 1: passing defense in the National Football League, your Washington Commanders. 1928 01:45:51,439 --> 01:45:56,080 Speaker 1: They've allowed a league high thirty touchdowns. I expect the 1929 01:45:56,160 --> 01:45:59,000 Speaker 1: Rams to have their way with the Commanders. And by 1930 01:45:59,000 --> 01:46:03,280 Speaker 1: the way, for you fantasy knuckleheads, the Commander's defense gives 1931 01:46:03,360 --> 01:46:07,839 Speaker 1: up the second most fantasy points to quarterbacks. Wide receivers 1932 01:46:07,920 --> 01:46:11,160 Speaker 1: also score the second most fantasy points per game against 1933 01:46:11,479 --> 01:46:15,479 Speaker 1: Washington's defense. Now, yes, the Commanders are five to one 1934 01:46:15,479 --> 01:46:18,000 Speaker 1: against the numbers road underdogs this season. I don't think 1935 01:46:18,040 --> 01:46:22,200 Speaker 1: that correlates. I would be shocked if the Rams don't 1936 01:46:22,240 --> 01:46:26,280 Speaker 1: win this game by double digits unless Washington gets their 1937 01:46:26,280 --> 01:46:30,080 Speaker 1: offense going, because I guarantee, I would just about guarantee 1938 01:46:30,120 --> 01:46:33,960 Speaker 1: the Rams will score thirty plus points Sunday be shocked. 1939 01:46:34,640 --> 01:46:38,400 Speaker 1: So the question is can the Commanders score more than 1940 01:46:38,439 --> 01:46:41,559 Speaker 1: twenty three? Flip of the coin. This feels like a 1941 01:46:41,560 --> 01:46:43,840 Speaker 1: thirty one to twenty type game. That's the way I'm 1942 01:46:43,880 --> 01:46:46,360 Speaker 1: seeing it. But I do expect the Rams to win. Now, 1943 01:46:46,400 --> 01:46:48,680 Speaker 1: this game might surprise you for what I'm going to 1944 01:46:48,720 --> 01:46:51,080 Speaker 1: tell you. The forty nine Ers, who look like they 1945 01:46:51,120 --> 01:46:53,960 Speaker 1: are on the fast track of the Super Bowl barring injury. 1946 01:46:54,240 --> 01:46:56,479 Speaker 1: They're ten and three. They visit the Cardinals, who are 1947 01:46:56,760 --> 01:47:00,559 Speaker 1: three to ten. Now, Kyler Murray hasn't played forty nine 1948 01:47:00,600 --> 01:47:04,800 Speaker 1: Ers since October twenty twenty one because of injuries. But 1949 01:47:04,880 --> 01:47:08,479 Speaker 1: the last time Kyler Murray lined up against a very 1950 01:47:08,520 --> 01:47:12,479 Speaker 1: good San Francisco team in twenty twenty one, Kyler Murray 1951 01:47:12,479 --> 01:47:15,200 Speaker 1: beat him. Now, Murray's only two and two since he 1952 01:47:15,240 --> 01:47:19,040 Speaker 1: returned from his ACL injury, but Arizona's coming off a 1953 01:47:19,040 --> 01:47:22,080 Speaker 1: bye and the Niners don't really have any fresh tape 1954 01:47:22,600 --> 01:47:25,720 Speaker 1: on the new Carler Murray, including tape of the Cardinals' 1955 01:47:25,760 --> 01:47:29,920 Speaker 1: new scheme totally different scheme. Now. The Niners are banged 1956 01:47:29,960 --> 01:47:33,240 Speaker 1: up on defense, especially their front seven, and I think 1957 01:47:33,320 --> 01:47:35,760 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray have might have a little bit of a 1958 01:47:35,840 --> 01:47:37,840 Speaker 1: chance to go off. Where am I going with this? 1959 01:47:39,240 --> 01:47:41,800 Speaker 1: I would be inclined to grab the thirteen and a 1960 01:47:41,840 --> 01:47:46,599 Speaker 1: half points. I would be you got a divisional double 1961 01:47:46,680 --> 01:47:50,719 Speaker 1: digit home dog. Do I think the Niners are gonna win? Yeah, 1962 01:47:51,000 --> 01:47:52,760 Speaker 1: I think we're looking at like a twenty seven to 1963 01:47:52,760 --> 01:47:56,919 Speaker 1: seventeen game. But I think the I think the Arizona 1964 01:47:56,960 --> 01:48:01,720 Speaker 1: Cardinals can actually keep this game under two touchdowns, and 1965 01:48:01,720 --> 01:48:04,040 Speaker 1: that's probably what you're gonna get by kickoff. I wouldn't 1966 01:48:04,040 --> 01:48:06,320 Speaker 1: be surprised if this becomes a runaway line. It's an 1967 01:48:06,320 --> 01:48:08,679 Speaker 1: afternoon game. Guys, try to get even. You're coulda bet 1968 01:48:08,680 --> 01:48:12,760 Speaker 1: the favorite expect to blow out. Cardinals are pest. You know, 1969 01:48:13,040 --> 01:48:14,880 Speaker 1: you know, you know. I don't know if there's suck 1970 01:48:14,960 --> 01:48:17,120 Speaker 1: for luck or tank for two or whatever. See all 1971 01:48:17,360 --> 01:48:19,719 Speaker 1: that never seems to work. The Cardinals have actually played 1972 01:48:19,720 --> 01:48:22,160 Speaker 1: hard this year. Give it up to him. They have. 1973 01:48:23,040 --> 01:48:27,120 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray is the X factor and his QBR hasn't 1974 01:48:27,160 --> 01:48:28,880 Speaker 1: been great, but I think he gets up for this game. 1975 01:48:28,920 --> 01:48:32,400 Speaker 1: The bottom line is, though you got a divisional home favorite, 1976 01:48:32,479 --> 01:48:34,200 Speaker 1: or you get a visual road favorite, or thirteen and 1977 01:48:34,240 --> 01:48:36,760 Speaker 1: a half, that's a game. I think the books are 1978 01:48:36,760 --> 01:48:39,000 Speaker 1: gonna get healthy on. I believe people they've already been 1979 01:48:39,040 --> 01:48:41,720 Speaker 1: steaming the Niners. I think you're gonna see the Cardinals hang. 1980 01:48:41,760 --> 01:48:43,920 Speaker 1: That number we shall see could make a fool out 1981 01:48:43,920 --> 01:48:46,360 Speaker 1: of me, could be thirty nine to two. I don't 1982 01:48:46,360 --> 01:48:47,920 Speaker 1: think so. I think it's a ten point win for 1983 01:48:47,960 --> 01:48:51,000 Speaker 1: the Niners, not a thirteen point win. The game that's 1984 01:48:51,040 --> 01:48:54,280 Speaker 1: been very talked about this week, you're Dallas Cowboys and 1985 01:48:54,360 --> 01:48:57,040 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott Misster. October. They head to Buffalo, where it'll 1986 01:48:57,080 --> 01:49:00,240 Speaker 1: be thirty five degrees Buffalo seven and six. Buffalo's two 1987 01:49:00,240 --> 01:49:02,479 Speaker 1: point favorite, Cowboys ten to three. This is a big 1988 01:49:02,520 --> 01:49:06,040 Speaker 1: game for both teams. There are playoff implications involved here, 1989 01:49:06,680 --> 01:49:09,439 Speaker 1: but it could come down to which defense that's dealing 1990 01:49:09,439 --> 01:49:11,960 Speaker 1: with injuries because both of them are could make more 1991 01:49:12,000 --> 01:49:16,320 Speaker 1: stops against two offenses with the potential to put up 1992 01:49:16,360 --> 01:49:20,160 Speaker 1: big points. Cowboys offense leads the NFL points per game 1993 01:49:20,840 --> 01:49:23,679 Speaker 1: thirty two point four. The Bills are fifth twenty seven 1994 01:49:23,720 --> 01:49:26,840 Speaker 1: points per game. I think you're gonna see Josh Allen 1995 01:49:26,880 --> 01:49:29,519 Speaker 1: take off and run early and often. I think you're 1996 01:49:29,560 --> 01:49:34,160 Speaker 1: gonna see both defenses, maybe come up with a player two. 1997 01:49:34,240 --> 01:49:36,160 Speaker 1: But here's the deal, this is what's at stake. This 1998 01:49:36,200 --> 01:49:40,040 Speaker 1: is big in Dallas. Win would mean they don't have 1999 01:49:40,080 --> 01:49:42,200 Speaker 1: a forty four percent chance to win the NFC East 2000 01:49:42,240 --> 01:49:45,160 Speaker 1: and get that home playoff and a nineteen percent chance 2001 01:49:45,200 --> 01:49:46,760 Speaker 1: to finish with a number one seed. We all know 2002 01:49:46,800 --> 01:49:50,360 Speaker 1: how Dallas looks on the road during the playoffs. Those 2003 01:49:50,439 --> 01:49:54,040 Speaker 1: numbers would improve should Dallas go to eleven and three. 2004 01:49:54,640 --> 01:49:57,720 Speaker 1: Do I expect that to happen? I don't. I think 2005 01:49:57,800 --> 01:49:59,680 Speaker 1: it'll be a close game. I think it feels like 2006 01:49:59,680 --> 01:50:02,160 Speaker 1: a twenty seven to twenty four Bills win. It's not 2007 01:50:02,280 --> 01:50:04,960 Speaker 1: a game I'm gonna be involved when. But I think 2008 01:50:05,040 --> 01:50:08,040 Speaker 1: the sharp money is on Buffalo, but I'm not involved 2009 01:50:08,040 --> 01:50:11,880 Speaker 1: in it. Let's go to Sunday Night. Ravens Jags. Ravens 2010 01:50:11,880 --> 01:50:15,479 Speaker 1: are ten and three. They visit Jacksonville and they hobbled 2011 01:50:16,520 --> 01:50:20,320 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence. One week after facing the top Brady defense Cleveland, 2012 01:50:20,800 --> 01:50:23,120 Speaker 1: Jags now get the number two defense with the Ravens 2013 01:50:23,120 --> 01:50:26,400 Speaker 1: now Baltimore leads the league in sacks with forty nine. 2014 01:50:26,760 --> 01:50:29,320 Speaker 1: That's not good for a Jags offensive line. They're on 2015 01:50:29,360 --> 01:50:31,679 Speaker 1: their fourth left tackle and their third left guard because 2016 01:50:31,720 --> 01:50:34,040 Speaker 1: of injuries. And oh, by the way, Trevor Lawrence has 2017 01:50:34,040 --> 01:50:36,600 Speaker 1: been sacked thirty one times this season. He's on his 2018 01:50:36,640 --> 01:50:39,960 Speaker 1: way to a career high. There'll be some interesting matchups here. 2019 01:50:40,600 --> 01:50:45,719 Speaker 1: You get Jadavian Clowney and Justin Manabuki going against this 2020 01:50:45,320 --> 01:50:51,479 Speaker 1: this kind of patchwork offensive line in Jacksonville. They have 2021 01:50:51,479 --> 01:50:54,960 Speaker 1: the thirtieth rank pass block rate. If the Ravens win 2022 01:50:55,000 --> 01:50:57,400 Speaker 1: the odds and winning the AFC North go to about 2023 01:50:57,400 --> 01:51:00,160 Speaker 1: eighty percent ninety four percent, they'll be interested in the 2024 01:51:00,160 --> 01:51:03,560 Speaker 1: conference seating. He believed me Baltimore's designs on winning the 2025 01:51:03,600 --> 01:51:06,559 Speaker 1: Super Bowl, but they would like to play more games 2026 01:51:06,600 --> 01:51:08,960 Speaker 1: at home than on the road. I don't see how 2027 01:51:09,000 --> 01:51:11,760 Speaker 1: the Jags can hang with Baltimore. That doesn't mean they 2028 01:51:11,760 --> 01:51:14,280 Speaker 1: won't keep it close, but I'm having a hard time 2029 01:51:14,680 --> 01:51:19,439 Speaker 1: seeing Baltimore, you know, not leaving town from Jacksonville after 2030 01:51:19,479 --> 01:51:22,240 Speaker 1: Sunday Night's game with the victory, finally, our last game 2031 01:51:22,320 --> 01:51:25,400 Speaker 1: on the slate, Eagles ten and three. This is a 2032 01:51:25,400 --> 01:51:28,719 Speaker 1: tricky spot. They head to Seattle. Seattle's only six and seven, 2033 01:51:28,880 --> 01:51:32,400 Speaker 1: but Pete Carroll as a home dog, is typically very 2034 01:51:32,600 --> 01:51:35,559 Speaker 1: passky to a matchup two of the leading candidates for 2035 01:51:35,600 --> 01:51:38,759 Speaker 1: defensive Rookie of the Year Seahawks. They have a quarterback, 2036 01:51:38,800 --> 01:51:41,519 Speaker 1: Devin Witherspoon out of Illinois, who the Lions wanted a draft, 2037 01:51:41,520 --> 01:51:44,960 Speaker 1: but the Seahawks got him first, fifth overall pick. He's 2038 01:51:44,960 --> 01:51:47,519 Speaker 1: having an excellent year. He's got a ninety seven yard 2039 01:51:47,600 --> 01:51:51,320 Speaker 1: pick six on his resume. He's deflected sixteen passes he's had. 2040 01:51:51,400 --> 01:51:55,200 Speaker 1: He's got three sacks. Meanwhile, Jalen Carter out of Georgia 2041 01:51:55,240 --> 01:51:58,519 Speaker 1: has been everything as advertised, been fantastic. He was chowing four. 2042 01:51:58,600 --> 01:52:02,280 Speaker 1: He was chosen four spots after Witherspoon. He's got four sacks, 2043 01:52:02,320 --> 01:52:05,800 Speaker 1: six tackles for loss, and the fourth best pass rush 2044 01:52:05,840 --> 01:52:08,840 Speaker 1: win rate among interior defenders. Now this will be a 2045 01:52:08,920 --> 01:52:12,639 Speaker 1: national audience. This game go a long way and determining 2046 01:52:12,640 --> 01:52:15,680 Speaker 1: the defensive Rookie of the Year. But the Eagles have 2047 01:52:16,000 --> 01:52:18,679 Speaker 1: more important things than mine. They got to get back 2048 01:52:18,720 --> 01:52:21,439 Speaker 1: on track. Do I think the Eagles come away with 2049 01:52:21,479 --> 01:52:27,800 Speaker 1: a victory. I do. Seattle's offense is really frankly too inconsistent. 2050 01:52:28,320 --> 01:52:30,720 Speaker 1: I think the Eagles have a get right game in 2051 01:52:30,760 --> 01:52:32,360 Speaker 1: what might be a little bit more high scoring of 2052 01:52:32,400 --> 01:52:34,680 Speaker 1: a game here. But I still think the Eagles win 2053 01:52:34,760 --> 01:52:37,519 Speaker 1: this game and cover that three and a half on 2054 01:52:37,560 --> 01:52:43,200 Speaker 1: the road against Seattle coming up. Business is booming in 2055 01:52:43,240 --> 01:52:46,360 Speaker 1: the NFL, how much. We'll tell you they got some 2056 01:52:46,439 --> 01:52:49,400 Speaker 1: big plans.

By the way, this twenty twenty 2074 01:53:46,920 --> 01:53:49,519 Speaker 1: four salary cap is gonna jump to an all time 2075 01:53:49,640 --> 01:53:52,519 Speaker 1: high of two hundred and forty million dollars. That's a 2076 01:53:52,560 --> 01:53:56,360 Speaker 1: significant increase over the two twenty four that each team 2077 01:53:56,439 --> 01:53:59,920 Speaker 1: was allowed to allocate for the twenty twenty three season. 2078 01:54:00,400 --> 01:54:02,960 Speaker 1: When you compare that, just four years ago, the salary 2079 01:54:03,000 --> 01:54:06,800 Speaker 1: cap was one eighty eight. It's now jump fifty two 2080 01:54:06,800 --> 01:54:12,000 Speaker 1: million dollars in four years because well, hey, the NFL's 2081 01:54:12,080 --> 01:54:14,719 Speaker 1: killing it one hundred and ten billion million dollar media 2082 01:54:14,800 --> 01:54:18,760 Speaker 1: rights deal. I mean, okay, here's the bottom line. What 2083 01:54:18,800 --> 01:54:21,360 Speaker 1: are they gonna do next? Well, they're gonna expand more globally. 2084 01:54:21,880 --> 01:54:24,960 Speaker 1: There is gonna this year. You know, there were five 2085 01:54:25,000 --> 01:54:28,519 Speaker 1: international games is past fall, three in London, two and Frankfort. 2086 01:54:29,240 --> 01:54:33,920 Speaker 1: The NFL's not done. They're gonna explore the possibility of 2087 01:54:33,920 --> 01:54:37,920 Speaker 1: playing future games in Madrid, Spain, South Paulo, Brazil. They're 2088 01:54:37,920 --> 01:54:40,680 Speaker 1: gonna return to Mexico City, they're looking at Paris, France, 2089 01:54:41,120 --> 01:54:45,640 Speaker 1: and of course they're even talking about potentially Roger Goodell 2090 01:54:45,720 --> 01:54:49,040 Speaker 1: hint about playing a Super Bowl in London. No, do 2091 01:54:49,160 --> 01:54:52,760 Speaker 1: not do that. They don't even think about that. Stop 2092 01:54:53,400 --> 01:55:00,440 Speaker 1: stop far enough. I like that they have games overseas. 2093 01:55:01,920 --> 01:55:02,000 Speaker 8: Well. 2094 01:55:02,040 --> 01:55:04,880 Speaker 1: We're up to five. We did five last year. I 2095 01:55:05,000 --> 01:55:06,760 Speaker 1: think you could have one every week and give a 2096 01:55:06,800 --> 01:55:08,680 Speaker 1: team a second bye week. Now you make the season 2097 01:55:08,760 --> 01:55:11,720 Speaker 1: nineteen weeks, you play seventeen games, but there's at least 2098 01:55:11,880 --> 01:55:16,320 Speaker 1: one international game every weekend. You could have Germany, you 2099 01:55:16,320 --> 01:55:18,760 Speaker 1: could have France, you could have Brazil. Like we just said, 2100 01:55:18,880 --> 01:55:22,200 Speaker 1: Mexico City, two or three or four in London. Every 2101 01:55:22,320 --> 01:55:26,480 Speaker 1: team has to do it. It makes perfect sense. You 2102 01:55:26,480 --> 01:55:28,680 Speaker 1: want to build your brand. That's why Belichick got fired. 2103 01:55:29,360 --> 01:55:31,920 Speaker 1: Do you know the chiefs in the and the and 2104 01:55:31,960 --> 01:55:34,760 Speaker 1: the and the Patriots or they're fighting over the bragging 2105 01:55:34,800 --> 01:55:37,480 Speaker 1: rights for Frankfurt Germany. You both want that market. And 2106 01:55:37,520 --> 01:55:39,120 Speaker 1: when they even went there in there in late in 2107 01:55:39,160 --> 01:55:41,600 Speaker 1: eight ten to six and lost to Indianapolis, that kind 2108 01:55:41,640 --> 01:55:44,440 Speaker 1: of that kind of was curtains for Bill Belichick. But 2109 01:55:44,520 --> 01:55:46,880 Speaker 1: the NFL is making a strong push to expand its 2110 01:55:46,920 --> 01:55:49,600 Speaker 1: international footprint and what are they doing. We'll believe it 2111 01:55:49,640 --> 01:55:53,200 Speaker 1: or not. This coming week in Irving, Texas, the team 2112 01:55:53,240 --> 01:55:56,000 Speaker 1: owners are meeting. They're meeting on Tuesday and Wednesday. It's 2113 01:55:56,040 --> 01:55:58,600 Speaker 1: kind of a special league meeting and according to Front 2114 01:55:58,640 --> 01:56:01,720 Speaker 1: Office Sports, one of the parts of the agenda includes 2115 01:56:01,720 --> 01:56:05,400 Speaker 1: a vote expected on Wednesday that will require all thirty 2116 01:56:05,440 --> 01:56:09,520 Speaker 1: two clubs to play one designated home game outside the 2117 01:56:09,600 --> 01:56:13,520 Speaker 1: US every four years. Right now, teams are required to 2118 01:56:13,520 --> 01:56:16,520 Speaker 1: do so once every eight years. Well, Jacksonville played two 2119 01:56:16,640 --> 01:56:20,920 Speaker 1: this year. So again, as I mentioned, you played five 2120 01:56:20,960 --> 01:56:23,920 Speaker 1: international games as pass Fall three in London too, and Frankfurt. 2121 01:56:24,280 --> 01:56:29,000 Speaker 1: We're talking about other countries. According to Peter King, the 2122 01:56:29,080 --> 01:56:34,520 Speaker 1: new international measure should be easily approved that will allow 2123 01:56:34,560 --> 01:56:38,520 Speaker 1: the NFL to start playing those nine games abroad as 2124 01:56:38,560 --> 01:56:42,640 Speaker 1: soon as twenty twenty five now. Currently, the games in 2125 01:56:42,680 --> 01:56:45,000 Speaker 1: Europe are typically broadcast at nine thirty in the morning 2126 01:56:45,080 --> 01:56:49,200 Speaker 1: Eastern Time, mostly on the NFL network six point thirty 2127 01:56:49,200 --> 01:56:51,360 Speaker 1: here on the West Coast. You can't tell me you 2128 01:56:51,360 --> 01:56:54,720 Speaker 1: don't like it. It's more football. It gets your day 2129 01:56:54,800 --> 01:56:57,040 Speaker 1: started even sooner. Don't act like you don't like it. 2130 01:56:57,520 --> 01:57:00,440 Speaker 1: You watch them, you bet on them, you root for them, 2131 01:57:00,880 --> 01:57:03,760 Speaker 1: it's all good. How can it not be good? Which 2132 01:57:03,840 --> 01:57:07,520 Speaker 1: is why I like to see them do this every week. 2133 01:57:07,960 --> 01:57:10,960 Speaker 1: You got thirty two teams in the league. Sixteen weeks, 2134 01:57:11,360 --> 01:57:14,640 Speaker 1: everybody has won. You have a buye and you grow 2135 01:57:14,680 --> 01:57:16,960 Speaker 1: the game even faster. Do I want to see a 2136 01:57:17,000 --> 01:57:17,960 Speaker 1: super Bowl in London? 2137 01:57:18,000 --> 01:57:18,040 Speaker 5: No? 2138 01:57:18,280 --> 01:57:20,080 Speaker 1: First of all, look at the time, what do you 2139 01:57:20,080 --> 01:57:22,800 Speaker 1: gonn do? Play the damn game at midnight? Remember it's 2140 01:57:22,800 --> 01:57:24,840 Speaker 1: an eight hour different between London and the West Coast. 2141 01:57:25,280 --> 01:57:26,840 Speaker 1: The second thing is, I don't want to see a 2142 01:57:26,880 --> 01:57:31,520 Speaker 1: team based in Europe. Forget it, stupid, can't do it. 2143 01:57:31,520 --> 01:57:35,360 Speaker 1: It would be a major logistical disadvantage. And you want 2144 01:57:35,360 --> 01:57:37,880 Speaker 1: to eat beans on toast and bangers on mash every day? 2145 01:57:37,960 --> 01:57:39,960 Speaker 1: No you don't. You want you have your old good 2146 01:57:39,960 --> 01:57:42,440 Speaker 1: American food. Sorry I had to throw that in there, 2147 01:57:43,040 --> 01:57:46,320 Speaker 1: but anyway, it slice and business is booming in the NFL, 2148 01:57:46,720 --> 01:57:51,240 Speaker 1: and yes we're all going along for the ride coming up, 2149 01:57:51,720 --> 01:57:55,080 Speaker 1: the dance sensation sweeping the nation.

Clippers won their seventh straight game, one forty 2592 02:21:47,560 --> 02:21:49,560 Speaker 7: four to one twenty two over the Knicks. His college 2593 02:21:49,600 --> 02:21:53,520 Speaker 7: football Bowl season Ucla Fresno State at Palasian State, the 2594 02:21:53,680 --> 02:21:57,039 Speaker 7: Jacksonville State game Cox in Ohio University, all of them 2595 02:21:57,560 --> 02:21:58,760 Speaker 7: winners victorious. 2596 02:21:59,120 --> 02:21:59,920 Speaker 4: And college basket. 2597 02:22:00,320 --> 02:22:03,440 Speaker 7: We had a couple upsets bats per Due upset number 2598 02:22:03,480 --> 02:22:07,080 Speaker 7: one Arizona ninety two to eighty four in Michigan State. 2599 02:22:07,200 --> 02:22:10,600 Speaker 7: Upset number six Baylor eighty eight to sixty four.

You know, no, doctor James Natesmith 2602 02:22:17,640 --> 02:22:20,560 Speaker 7: in this matchup. They end up winning here seventy five 2603 02:22:20,640 --> 02:22:23,240 Speaker 7: to seventy one against Indiana and in the NHL two 2604 02:22:23,280 --> 02:22:25,920 Speaker 7: overtime victories last night the New York Rangers and the 2605 02:22:26,000 --> 02:22:26,760 Speaker 7: Saint Louis Blues. 2606 02:22:26,800 --> 02:22:28,480 Speaker 4: Bernie, you're up all. 2607 02:22:28,440 --> 02:22:32,000 Speaker 1: Right, Martin, good stuff, buddy, all right, this time every week. 2608 02:22:32,080 --> 02:22:34,280 Speaker 1: As you know, we started this about eighteen months ago, 2609 02:22:34,840 --> 02:22:36,920 Speaker 1: led into the Men's World Cup last year. About this 2610 02:22:37,080 --> 02:22:39,800 Speaker 1: time the Women's World Cup last summer were just months 2611 02:22:39,840 --> 02:22:43,800 Speaker 1: away from the Olympics in Paris. But whether it's on 2612 02:22:43,920 --> 02:22:48,440 Speaker 1: the field off the pitch, around the world, there's always 2613 02:22:48,560 --> 02:22:50,440 Speaker 1: news twenty four to seven in the world of soccer. 2614 02:22:50,560 --> 02:22:53,600 Speaker 1: That's why now it's time for Chris Purfetts World of Soccer. 2615 02:22:54,959 --> 02:22:56,080 Speaker 1: The Greatest Schools. 2616 02:23:01,040 --> 02:23:09,440 Speaker 2: The thrilling finishes, the international Drumapo. 2617 02:23:07,560 --> 02:23:09,760 Speaker 1: Hiei at the end of the level. 2618 02:23:10,800 --> 02:23:14,199 Speaker 13: It's all here in this report from the world of soccer. 2619 02:23:14,400 --> 02:23:17,680 Speaker 13: Strange tales, Bernie. As we move into the winter time here, 2620 02:23:17,800 --> 02:23:21,000 Speaker 13: but soccer never really sleeps around the world. 2621 02:23:21,800 --> 02:23:23,760 Speaker 1: First bit of news take care of. The United States 2622 02:23:23,840 --> 02:23:24,800 Speaker 1: and Mexico. 2623 02:23:24,480 --> 02:23:27,200 Speaker 13: Have submitted a joint bid to host the twenty twenty 2624 02:23:27,280 --> 02:23:31,840 Speaker 13: seven Women's World Cup, following in the pattern of the 2625 02:23:32,200 --> 02:23:35,800 Speaker 13: twenty twenty six Men's World Cup here, which is seeing 2626 02:23:35,800 --> 02:23:39,120 Speaker 13: the bids split between the United States, Canada, and Mexico, 2627 02:23:39,280 --> 02:23:42,680 Speaker 13: making it a true North American World Cup. It's a 2628 02:23:42,760 --> 02:23:45,640 Speaker 13: fascinating move and I think it's one that we might 2629 02:23:45,760 --> 02:23:49,560 Speaker 13: see more and more throughout the progressions of these bids 2630 02:23:49,600 --> 02:23:51,720 Speaker 13: of the World Cup. I think the United States has 2631 02:23:51,760 --> 02:23:54,560 Speaker 13: the power to host it by themselves, but having other 2632 02:23:54,680 --> 02:23:59,200 Speaker 13: federations involved, including a place like Mexico City and some 2633 02:23:59,320 --> 02:24:02,360 Speaker 13: of the great other Mexican cities where Lega MX stadiums 2634 02:24:02,360 --> 02:24:05,400 Speaker 13: are located. Can only help to improve the power of 2635 02:24:05,480 --> 02:24:08,560 Speaker 13: your bid when dealing with other hosts. Speaking of the 2636 02:24:09,000 --> 02:24:11,440 Speaker 13: United States, there was good news on the men's side 2637 02:24:11,600 --> 02:24:16,320 Speaker 13: as the draw came for the Copa America twenty twenty four. Now, 2638 02:24:16,400 --> 02:24:20,080 Speaker 13: Copa America, as we've explained for on this program, has 2639 02:24:20,200 --> 02:24:23,920 Speaker 13: been the pre eminent tournament, usually of South America nations 2640 02:24:24,240 --> 02:24:28,400 Speaker 13: in FIFA, which is important because only two regions in 2641 02:24:28,640 --> 02:24:32,760 Speaker 13: FIFA have won a World Cup, South America represented by 2642 02:24:32,760 --> 02:24:37,720 Speaker 13: their Federation of Commable and Europe with UEFA. Thus, in 2643 02:24:37,840 --> 02:24:42,040 Speaker 13: the two years in between the World Cups, attention has 2644 02:24:42,080 --> 02:24:47,840 Speaker 13: turned to Copa America and to UEFA's euro Championship. This year, 2645 02:24:48,160 --> 02:24:50,400 Speaker 13: the COPA has expanded. It now includes some of the 2646 02:24:50,520 --> 02:24:54,600 Speaker 13: top nations from CONCACAF, the North American region, which includes 2647 02:24:54,640 --> 02:24:57,240 Speaker 13: the United States, and so the United States was included 2648 02:24:57,320 --> 02:24:59,680 Speaker 13: in the Copa America draw. The United States, of course, 2649 02:24:59,720 --> 02:25:02,720 Speaker 13: all so being the host of this year's Copa America, 2650 02:25:02,840 --> 02:25:06,120 Speaker 13: which is fantastic for a lot of reasons. On Thursday, 2651 02:25:06,400 --> 02:25:08,400 Speaker 13: they found out who they will be playing as they 2652 02:25:08,440 --> 02:25:13,160 Speaker 13: were placed in Group C with Uruguay, Panama, and Bolivia. 2653 02:25:13,440 --> 02:25:17,920 Speaker 13: Mexico meanwhile got Ecuador, Venezuela and Jamaica in Group B. 2654 02:25:18,480 --> 02:25:20,960 Speaker 1: This is a bit fascinating right now. 2655 02:25:21,000 --> 02:25:24,280 Speaker 13: The United States sits about the same rank and just 2656 02:25:24,440 --> 02:25:28,160 Speaker 13: behind Uruguay in the FIFA Men's rankings. It is a 2657 02:25:28,360 --> 02:25:32,080 Speaker 13: fantastic showdown, but all it's going to ultimately be a 2658 02:25:32,280 --> 02:25:35,320 Speaker 13: very tough one and there are questions as to the 2659 02:25:35,440 --> 02:25:39,240 Speaker 13: US men's team really realistically win Group C at the. 2660 02:25:39,280 --> 02:25:40,959 Speaker 1: Twenty twenty four Copa America. 2661 02:25:41,240 --> 02:25:44,280 Speaker 13: The United States is stacked top to bottom, really, but 2662 02:25:44,800 --> 02:25:48,760 Speaker 13: Uruguay has always been a TA nation that is very 2663 02:25:49,080 --> 02:25:51,680 Speaker 13: hard to defeat, and the United States is going to 2664 02:25:51,760 --> 02:25:54,120 Speaker 13: have to start with Bolivia. And if the US can't 2665 02:25:54,160 --> 02:25:57,240 Speaker 13: be Bolivia, then there seems to be some problems going 2666 02:25:57,320 --> 02:26:00,800 Speaker 13: on there now. Panama the United States ismiliar with coming 2667 02:26:00,920 --> 02:26:05,280 Speaker 13: from Conker Calf, But ultimately it's going to come down 2668 02:26:05,400 --> 02:26:07,920 Speaker 13: to the match against Uruguay, which is going to be 2669 02:26:08,000 --> 02:26:11,080 Speaker 13: one of the last ones in that group. But we 2670 02:26:11,520 --> 02:26:14,119 Speaker 13: haven't talked much about the Premier League in the past 2671 02:26:14,200 --> 02:26:18,039 Speaker 13: few weeks, and something odd has happened at the top 2672 02:26:18,120 --> 02:26:21,080 Speaker 13: of the table since we last looked, Manchester City has 2673 02:26:21,240 --> 02:26:25,440 Speaker 13: fallen to fourth, falling behind aston Villa this past weekend 2674 02:26:26,160 --> 02:26:31,960 Speaker 13: in a one nil game, and I am confused. I 2675 02:26:32,080 --> 02:26:34,880 Speaker 13: am very confused as to how one of the great clubs, 2676 02:26:35,160 --> 02:26:38,000 Speaker 13: how a team that won a historic treble last year 2677 02:26:38,959 --> 02:26:42,840 Speaker 13: now finds itself coming into this weekend six points back 2678 02:26:42,920 --> 02:26:46,959 Speaker 13: behind Arsenal, with Arsenal and Liverpool being the ones fighting 2679 02:26:47,120 --> 02:26:50,320 Speaker 13: right now as we start to write the final chapters 2680 02:26:50,720 --> 02:26:55,360 Speaker 13: on the opening half of the Premier League. It's something 2681 02:26:55,480 --> 02:26:58,720 Speaker 13: that we don't usually see. Manchester City sitting in the 2682 02:26:58,840 --> 02:27:02,680 Speaker 13: back trying to back from it, looking sluggish, looking lost 2683 02:27:02,760 --> 02:27:06,920 Speaker 13: at times, getting defeated on set pieces. Their loss to 2684 02:27:07,520 --> 02:27:12,959 Speaker 13: aston Villa comes after three straight draws in the Premier League. Now, 2685 02:27:13,040 --> 02:27:15,120 Speaker 13: some of this can be chalked up to injuries, and 2686 02:27:15,280 --> 02:27:18,600 Speaker 13: it's the type of injuries that really matter. But I 2687 02:27:18,680 --> 02:27:21,360 Speaker 13: think Manchester City's problems can also be tracked back to 2688 02:27:21,600 --> 02:27:24,400 Speaker 13: one of the oldest problems for many clubs out there, 2689 02:27:25,000 --> 02:27:28,560 Speaker 13: the midfield. Yes, once again a club has neglected some 2690 02:27:28,720 --> 02:27:31,360 Speaker 13: of their midfield. A lot of their signings here this 2691 02:27:31,520 --> 02:27:34,920 Speaker 13: past couple of seasons have just not endeared them to 2692 02:27:35,040 --> 02:27:38,520 Speaker 13: replace pieces that they lost in their midfield and has 2693 02:27:38,640 --> 02:27:42,520 Speaker 13: left them with questions, and those questions will continue here 2694 02:27:42,959 --> 02:27:47,920 Speaker 13: as Manchester City prepares to take on Luttontown here on Sunday. Now, 2695 02:27:47,959 --> 02:27:50,680 Speaker 13: you might be thinking to yourself, Wow, Luton Town, that 2696 02:27:50,760 --> 02:27:53,640 Speaker 13: seems like easy baking right there. That's a club with 2697 02:27:53,800 --> 02:27:56,400 Speaker 13: only nine points to their name. They sit in the 2698 02:27:56,480 --> 02:28:00,920 Speaker 13: relegation zone currently, they have only two wins. Sure, but 2699 02:28:01,080 --> 02:28:03,440 Speaker 13: Luton Town is a club with a lot of heart 2700 02:28:03,760 --> 02:28:07,720 Speaker 13: and fire behind them right now, with those wins coming 2701 02:28:07,840 --> 02:28:10,840 Speaker 13: too straight out of the last three and then a 2702 02:28:11,080 --> 02:28:16,039 Speaker 13: narrow agonizing defeat four to three to Arsenal at home. 2703 02:28:16,680 --> 02:28:19,000 Speaker 13: If on the chance that Luton Town can pull off 2704 02:28:19,040 --> 02:28:21,960 Speaker 13: the impossible, it would be something for the ages to see. 2705 02:28:22,080 --> 02:28:22,480 Speaker 1: Either way. 2706 02:28:22,560 --> 02:28:26,000 Speaker 13: Manchester City sitting at the back of the pack here, 2707 02:28:26,200 --> 02:28:29,080 Speaker 13: still in contention for Champions League qualification obviously, and of 2708 02:28:29,120 --> 02:28:33,000 Speaker 13: course playing in the knockout rounds of this season's Champions League, 2709 02:28:33,360 --> 02:28:37,520 Speaker 13: not exactly a sympathetic figure. Nevertheless, it's always shocking to 2710 02:28:37,640 --> 02:28:40,880 Speaker 13: see such a heavyweight lose its lead like this in 2711 02:28:40,959 --> 02:28:43,400 Speaker 13: the season, but we've also seen Manchester City turn this 2712 02:28:43,560 --> 02:28:47,600 Speaker 13: around mid season and Earling Holland, their star young player, 2713 02:28:47,720 --> 02:28:50,040 Speaker 13: needs to really settle in and I think he will 2714 02:28:50,160 --> 02:28:52,480 Speaker 13: do it, but right now he's having games in his 2715 02:28:52,600 --> 02:28:56,039 Speaker 13: own head, spending too much time yelling at it official 2716 02:28:56,400 --> 02:28:59,800 Speaker 13: after a hot Spur draw when the referee wouldn't want 2717 02:28:59,840 --> 02:29:02,720 Speaker 13: to give him an advantage from his past to Gregalish 2718 02:29:02,840 --> 02:29:06,440 Speaker 13: late in the game. But as problems go for Manchester City, 2719 02:29:06,480 --> 02:29:10,480 Speaker 13: they still pale to the problems suffered by Manchester United, 2720 02:29:10,600 --> 02:29:15,400 Speaker 13: their crosstown rivals, as they have fallen into the sixth spot, 2721 02:29:15,560 --> 02:29:19,440 Speaker 13: tied with Tottenham Hotsper coming into this weekend and have 2722 02:29:19,879 --> 02:29:24,520 Speaker 13: been struggling to really get their star Marcus Rashford, who 2723 02:29:24,879 --> 02:29:28,000 Speaker 13: is no longer starting for the team but has said 2724 02:29:28,040 --> 02:29:30,680 Speaker 13: coming off the bench, and there seems to be some 2725 02:29:30,840 --> 02:29:35,280 Speaker 13: trouble brewing with him and manager Eric ten Hogg. I'm 2726 02:29:35,360 --> 02:29:38,080 Speaker 13: not sure why Marcus Rasher would ever be taken out 2727 02:29:38,120 --> 02:29:40,760 Speaker 13: of the starting lineup when the greats and really the 2728 02:29:40,879 --> 02:29:44,320 Speaker 13: face of Manchester United. And this isn't even the first 2729 02:29:44,360 --> 02:29:47,760 Speaker 13: time that Eric ten Hogg is really beefing with a player. 2730 02:29:48,120 --> 02:29:51,760 Speaker 13: Right now, we also have the Jaden Sancho question that 2731 02:29:52,000 --> 02:29:54,760 Speaker 13: still remains to be seen if ten Hog is even 2732 02:29:54,800 --> 02:29:57,200 Speaker 13: going to let him have any kind of comeback with 2733 02:29:57,360 --> 02:30:00,680 Speaker 13: this squad. But nevertheless this it seems to be the 2734 02:30:00,760 --> 02:30:04,160 Speaker 13: fate of Manchester United right now, a club mired always 2735 02:30:04,240 --> 02:30:08,360 Speaker 13: and always in controversy and nonsense. That seems to be 2736 02:30:08,440 --> 02:30:10,920 Speaker 13: one of the staples of Manchester United. The other happens 2737 02:30:10,959 --> 02:30:14,360 Speaker 13: to be an eternally ongoing question about whether the Glazers 2738 02:30:14,760 --> 02:30:17,680 Speaker 13: will sell and for how much. Twenty five percent of 2739 02:30:17,720 --> 02:30:21,760 Speaker 13: the club was now bought by English billionaire Jim Ratcliffe, 2740 02:30:21,800 --> 02:30:27,040 Speaker 13: but the absolutely unpopular in England Glazer families remains in 2741 02:30:27,400 --> 02:30:30,960 Speaker 13: full control of the club at this time. We have 2742 02:30:31,040 --> 02:30:33,640 Speaker 13: many more stories to go across Europe and across the 2743 02:30:33,680 --> 02:30:35,800 Speaker 13: world of soccer. Will bring them to you next week. 2744 02:30:35,920 --> 02:30:37,520 Speaker 13: Here We'll see you soon, Bernie. 2745 02:30:38,040 --> 02:30:41,720 Speaker 1: There you have it, Chrispherfett's World of Soccer.

When January rolls around, he looks like a 2752 02:31:03,440 --> 02:31:06,560 Speaker 1: drunk cross in an icy street. But if Dak Prescott 2753 02:31:06,680 --> 02:31:09,800 Speaker 1: never know that throws another touchdown pass again. He made 2754 02:31:09,879 --> 02:31:16,440 Speaker 1: a play recently off the field, which well, I'll tell 2755 02:31:16,440 --> 02:31:19,160 Speaker 1: you what he did. And you're gonna really like this 2756 02:31:19,320 --> 02:31:22,240 Speaker 1: story because it speaks to the man and the character. 2757 02:31:22,800 --> 02:31:26,600 Speaker 1: And he does bill himself as a community builder in Dallas. 2758 02:31:27,120 --> 02:31:30,560 Speaker 1: Well that's because he is. I'm Bernie Friday. We're comedy 2759 02:31:30,640 --> 02:31:33,160 Speaker 1: live from the Las Vegas Fox Sports Radio tyreck dot 2760 02:31:33,200 --> 02:31:35,560 Speaker 1: Com studios. Keep it locked right here. You're listening to 2761 02:31:35,600 --> 02:31:42,160 Speaker 1: the Bernie Frattle Show on Fox Sports Radio. I want 2762 02:31:42,200 --> 02:31:46,279 Speaker 1: to thank my broadcast team, my crew back in Los Angeles. 2763 02:31:46,360 --> 02:31:49,200 Speaker 1: They have been with me since eleven pm Pacific time 2764 02:31:50,120 --> 02:31:55,080 Speaker 1: on Saturday night. Martin Weiss on the updates, of course, 2765 02:31:55,240 --> 02:32:00,879 Speaker 1: Mark Ramsey, our technical producer, and Patrick Sweek, our executive producer. 2766 02:32:00,920 --> 02:32:03,760 Speaker 1: Guys turn all the dials, keeping us glued together, having fun, 2767 02:32:03,879 --> 02:32:07,880 Speaker 1: yucking it up. Great sessions tonight with brand Newfool and 2768 02:32:08,080 --> 02:32:12,160 Speaker 1: What My Name, and of course the discourse we had 2769 02:32:12,320 --> 02:32:16,560 Speaker 1: on Draymond Green, among other things. All Right, we're just 2770 02:32:16,720 --> 02:32:20,720 Speaker 1: hours away from the rest of NFL Week fifteen resuming 2771 02:32:21,840 --> 02:32:26,800 Speaker 1: and at one twenty five Pacific time four to twenty 2772 02:32:26,840 --> 02:32:31,000 Speaker 1: five Eastern Time. The Dallas Cowboys will teed up against 2773 02:32:31,080 --> 02:32:35,240 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills in a very pivotal game. And you 2774 02:32:35,320 --> 02:32:40,080 Speaker 1: know you've heard stories of the Bay Bruce story when 2775 02:32:40,160 --> 02:32:42,760 Speaker 1: he stopped off in a hospital and pretended he would 2776 02:32:43,080 --> 02:32:45,000 Speaker 1: hit a home run, not pretended, he said he would 2777 02:32:45,040 --> 02:32:47,680 Speaker 1: hit a home run for a young man, and he did, 2778 02:32:47,720 --> 02:32:52,680 Speaker 1: and allegedly the stories is true. It's true. I want 2779 02:32:52,720 --> 02:32:56,040 Speaker 1: you to watch the game Saturday Sunday between Buffalo and Dallas, 2780 02:32:56,120 --> 02:32:57,840 Speaker 1: or at least look for the highlights and see if 2781 02:32:58,800 --> 02:33:02,760 Speaker 1: see if Dak Prescott scores a touchdown and does the giddy, 2782 02:33:04,120 --> 02:33:08,440 Speaker 1: because it'll have special meaning. You see Dak Prescott has, 2783 02:33:09,280 --> 02:33:11,280 Speaker 1: he does have a lot of fans, and he's very 2784 02:33:12,400 --> 02:33:15,920 Speaker 1: much liked in Dallas. He has a community builder image 2785 02:33:15,920 --> 02:33:20,160 Speaker 1: and he does live up to it. And also, as 2786 02:33:20,240 --> 02:33:23,240 Speaker 1: you know, if you've seen Dak, he's catted up pretty good. 2787 02:33:23,240 --> 02:33:29,840 Speaker 1: He's got quite a few tattoos. Well. Interestingly enough, Dak 2788 02:33:29,920 --> 02:33:34,280 Speaker 1: Prescott has a very special young Cowboys fan. His name 2789 02:33:34,400 --> 02:33:39,520 Speaker 1: is Cason. I'm guessing Cason is maybe but ten eleven 2790 02:33:39,600 --> 02:33:43,680 Speaker 1: years old tops. He's a huge Cowboys fan. He's a 2791 02:33:43,760 --> 02:33:49,720 Speaker 1: huge Dak Prescott fan and Caseon is such a huge 2792 02:33:50,879 --> 02:33:55,920 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott fan, he decided he wanted to pay tribute 2793 02:33:56,000 --> 02:34:01,880 Speaker 1: to Dak Prescott by getting some tattoos. Who like Dak 2794 02:34:01,920 --> 02:34:04,680 Speaker 1: Prescott has, matter of fact, the same kind of tattoos. Now, 2795 02:34:04,760 --> 02:34:08,600 Speaker 1: this is not what you think. You see, Young Casin 2796 02:34:08,720 --> 02:34:11,920 Speaker 1: has a prosthetic leg, and what he did is he 2797 02:34:12,520 --> 02:34:19,120 Speaker 1: imitated Dak Prescott's tattoos on his prosthetic leg. Cason was 2798 02:34:19,240 --> 02:34:24,760 Speaker 1: very proud of his new tattoos. Somehow, the Dallas Cowboys 2799 02:34:25,440 --> 02:34:29,440 Speaker 1: managed to find out about this. Well, they've known about 2800 02:34:29,480 --> 02:34:33,720 Speaker 1: Casson for a long time, but they found out about 2801 02:34:33,720 --> 02:34:38,600 Speaker 1: the tattoos on his prosthetic leg, and knowing that it 2802 02:34:38,720 --> 02:34:42,640 Speaker 1: was a tribute to Dak, it was a little moving 2803 02:34:43,200 --> 02:34:48,640 Speaker 1: for the folks. So they decided to invite Cason to 2804 02:34:48,879 --> 02:34:53,880 Speaker 1: the Star in Frisco, where the Dallas Cowboys practice. And 2805 02:34:54,440 --> 02:34:56,720 Speaker 1: you probably remember seeing what that place looked like a 2806 02:34:56,800 --> 02:34:59,280 Speaker 1: couple of years ago when the cowboys around hard knocks. 2807 02:34:59,320 --> 02:35:05,840 Speaker 1: It's a spectator facility spectacular. But that doesn't end there, 2808 02:35:06,760 --> 02:35:12,040 Speaker 1: because the invitations actually came from Dak Prescott and Ceedee 2809 02:35:12,080 --> 02:35:15,600 Speaker 1: Lamb and in a video that's now gone viral and 2810 02:35:15,680 --> 02:35:20,840 Speaker 1: inspired a lot of emotion when little Cason showed up. 2811 02:35:21,320 --> 02:35:26,040 Speaker 1: You can see Prescott and Lamb seen meeting cases, gifting 2812 02:35:26,120 --> 02:35:30,080 Speaker 1: him with all kinds of Cowboys swag and merch, and yes, 2813 02:35:31,040 --> 02:35:35,480 Speaker 1: they even did the gritty to cheer him up and then, 2814 02:35:35,840 --> 02:35:39,240 Speaker 1: and this is why the Babe Ruth comparison, Dak Prescott 2815 02:35:39,360 --> 02:35:42,640 Speaker 1: even promised to do the giddy on the field in 2816 02:35:42,680 --> 02:35:49,640 Speaker 1: Buffalo this week if he scores a touchdown. Now, Beak 2817 02:35:49,720 --> 02:35:54,080 Speaker 1: has been the recipient of a lot of criticism, including 2818 02:35:54,120 --> 02:35:56,560 Speaker 1: for me, but no one can deny the man's off 2819 02:35:56,600 --> 02:36:00,400 Speaker 1: fields charm is undeniable. And the amount of time and 2820 02:36:00,440 --> 02:36:02,480 Speaker 1: effort he puts into help building the community and in 2821 02:36:02,480 --> 02:36:05,720 Speaker 1: effect change's second to none in the league. And I 2822 02:36:05,800 --> 02:36:09,000 Speaker 1: believe he's absolutely sincere what he does these things. He 2823 02:36:09,080 --> 02:36:11,280 Speaker 1: attracts a lot of attention, but this time it's for 2824 02:36:11,400 --> 02:36:14,320 Speaker 1: the right reason. Cason as a young boy and a 2825 02:36:14,400 --> 02:36:17,880 Speaker 1: Cowboys super fan who's got a prosthetic lag and he 2826 02:36:18,000 --> 02:36:21,040 Speaker 1: wanted to mirror his hero Dak Prescott, So we got 2827 02:36:21,080 --> 02:36:24,520 Speaker 1: a leg tattoo on his prosthetic leg and Ceedee, Lamb 2828 02:36:24,600 --> 02:36:27,480 Speaker 1: and Dak then decided to surprise him. You can see 2829 02:36:27,520 --> 02:36:32,959 Speaker 1: the video on Twitter. The reaction is priceless and social 2830 02:36:33,080 --> 02:36:37,000 Speaker 1: media was flooded with love for Dak Prescott and a 2831 02:36:37,040 --> 02:36:41,040 Speaker 1: lot of the comments really stood out, even from Eagles fans. 2832 02:36:42,400 --> 02:36:46,280 Speaker 1: So give it up to Dak. If he never makes 2833 02:36:46,320 --> 02:36:48,680 Speaker 1: a big play in the NFL again on the field, 2834 02:36:48,920 --> 02:36:50,800 Speaker 1: he's made one of the biggest plays of all time. 2835 02:36:50,920 --> 02:36:53,160 Speaker 1: Off the field, give it up to Dak and Ceedee 2836 02:36:53,240 --> 02:36:56,640 Speaker 1: Lamb and Cason the young fan with the prosthetic lag 2837 02:36:57,080 --> 02:36:59,600 Speaker 1: who was invited to the Star and Dak and CD 2838 02:37:00,080 --> 02:37:02,160 Speaker 1: made his day. See if he does the giddy on Sunday, 2839 02:37:02,440 --> 02:37:04,840 Speaker 1: if he scores a touchdown in Buffalo, it's going to 2840 02:37:04,879 --> 02:37:06,760 Speaker 1: do it for the Bernie Frattle Show. See you next 2841 02:37:06,800 --> 02:37:09,080 Speaker 1: Friday Night at eleven. In the meantime, keep it locked 2842 02:37:09,160 --> 02:37:12,680 Speaker 1: up next the Great Andy Furman, Fox Sports Radio.
