1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:08,520
Speaker 2: Oh what is going on everybody on this Championship Sunday Eve?

3
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:11,280
Speaker 2: Right here, we are raring to go. You know what,

4
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:17,760
Speaker 2: I've got to melt your mind stats about Championship Sunday

5
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 2: to get us started here. Huh. Let's start with the

6
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,160
Speaker 2: NFC and good morning, gentlemen. How about this the forty

7
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 2: nine ers. They have gone twenty one straight seasons either

8
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 2: missing the playoffs entirely or making at least the NFC

9
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 2: Championship game. That blows my mind. Twenty one straight seasons,

10
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 2: either you're not even in the dance or you're at

11
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 2: least a game away from the Super Bowl. That's pretty

12
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 2: wild that for Yeah, to lead us off this morning,

13
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 2: it's it's boom or bust, you know what I mean,

14
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 2: It's it's all or nothing.

15
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 3: Basically. It's a very strange statistic to have. And I

16
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 3: don't know what exactly it says to me. I don't

17
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 3: know if it quantifies anything, but that is interesting thing

18
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 3: is all get out.

19
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 2: I didn't know that. I did not know that either,

20
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 2: But it doesn't surprise me.

21
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,960
Speaker 4: If you think about what the Niners have been, I mean,

22
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 4: they like they they really have been kind of I

23
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 4: don't want to say like a juggernaut, but like it

24
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 4: kind of reminds me of that Eagles run, you know,

25
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 4: with the Andy Reid McNab stuff. Like they were in

26
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 4: the NFC Championship Game five times. I think I might

27
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 4: be wrong on that five times in like a ten years,

28
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 4: fifteen year stretch, somewhere in that range.

29
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's uh, I forget. I want to say Andy

30
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 2: was there at least four times? Yeah, right, yeah, I

31
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:33,040
Speaker 2: think they were.

32
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 4: I think they went to the I think they I

33
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 4: think what it was is they won the NFC Championship

34
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 4: Game once and then they lost four other times. But

35
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 4: they were there a lot.

36
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, they were there a lot. We'll verify that. But

37
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 2: you might be right about that. Jared. Here's another melt

38
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 2: your mind slash face stat. As far as the AFC goes,

39
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 2: I find this to be pretty crazy. So this will

40
00:01:55,600 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 2: be the first AFC title game in Baltimore since January

41
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 2: of nineteen seventy one. Yeah, that's wild, right, wasn't the Colts?

42
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 2: That's pretty crazy, right? It was the Baltimore Colts and

43
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 2: then we had a little twelve year hiatus where they

44
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:14,920
Speaker 2: turned into the Indianapolis Colts. But we're talking about twelve

45
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 2: seasons as the Baltimore Colts since that seventy one title game, right,

46
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 2: and then there were twenty eight seasons as the Baltimore Ravens.

47
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:28,239
Speaker 2: So we're talking it's taken forty seasons for the city

48
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 2: of Baltimore to have another AFC title game in that city.

49
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 2: And think about this, they won two Super Bowls in

50
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:40,239
Speaker 2: that span, but there's just no AFC title game in Baltimore.

51
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 2: And to take it once that further their opponent, the Chiefs.

52
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 2: They've hosted the last five AFC Championship games. So it's

53
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 2: pretty crazy. It's taken forty seasons for the city of

54
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 2: Baltimore to host another AFC title game.

55
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, and when you look at this playoff field, the

56
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 3: four remaining teams, and especially how it shakes out who

57
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 3: has to play who the home field advantage for Baltimore,

58
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 3: it feels obscenely important because I think even if the

59
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 3: Niners were on the road, they would be pretty large favorites,

60
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 3: you know, in Detroit, as difficult of a place as

61
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 3: that is to play, by the way, and we've talked

62
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 3: about this on this show. I've played at Ford field.

63
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 3: It gets loud in there when that team's good. You

64
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 3: could argue it could rival Lucas Oil Field in Indianapolis.

65
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 3: It's that type of environment. Or like Houston, when Houston

66
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 3: has a decent team, that energy or whatever they're calling

67
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 3: it now field down there in Houston that gets loud

68
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 3: as heck. So, I mean, this is the type of

69
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 3: environment that you would assume would really help a team

70
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 3: like the Lions if they were playing home. But I

71
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 3: think San Francisco is so good it has less of

72
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 3: an impact.

73
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 2: On that matchup.

74
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 3: But Baltimore and Kansas City, it really feels like splitting hair.

75
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 2: Who's gonna win this game?

76
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 3: So you really do swing the spread based on where

77
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 3: this game landed. If it were in Kansas City, maybe

78
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 3: it's closer to.

79
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 2: A pick them.

80
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 3: If the fact that it's in Baltimore really does aid

81
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:18,280
Speaker 3: the Ravens.

82
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, if you just want to do the math, right,

83
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 4: we're giving about let's call it on average one and

84
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 4: a half points for home field advantage, So sure the

85
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 4: Niners are a seven point let's call it seven and

86
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 4: a half because they're kind of trending towards seven and

87
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 4: a half.

88
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 2: So if you take away that point and a half.

89
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,839
Speaker 4: For home field, you would probably be looking at a

90
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 4: six point game on a neutral and then if you

91
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 4: move the game to Detroit, you add one and a

92
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:44,039
Speaker 4: half to Detroit's spread and you'd get to probably four

93
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 4: or four and a half on the Lions. So if

94
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,479
Speaker 4: this game was played in Detroit, Niners are probably about

95
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 4: a four to four and a half point favorite for

96
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 4: the Chiefs Ravens one. It's interesting because it's moving around

97
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 4: the three right. Of all the numbers that a game

98
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 4: could possibly land on, three is about ten percent of

99
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 4: the time. I'm by far the most landed on number.

100
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 4: That's why we call it the keyest of all numbers.

101
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 4: Three and seven being the most key for the Ravens,

102
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 4: I would say probably would be maybe a one point favorite.

103
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 4: But the irony with this thing is, guys that if

104
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 4: this game was played like four weeks ago, I think

105
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 4: the Ravens would be at home like almost a touchdown favorite.

106
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 4: Like I think we are paying a pretty severe Mahomes

107
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 4: playoff tax in this game. And that's why you've seen

108
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 4: this number get wider throughout the week, right Like it

109
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 4: opened at three and we've seen three and a half

110
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 4: and now we're seeing fours and even maybe a four

111
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 4: and a half could pop up in the market, I

112
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 4: think before tomorrow. And it's twofold, right, It's the Chiefs

113
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 4: have some injuries and stuff like that.

114
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,599
Speaker 2: But I think overall the professional betters are.

115
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 4: Looking at this number and they're like, man like, the

116
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,479
Speaker 4: Ravens should probably be like a five or a six

117
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 4: point favorite at home in this game, but they're not

118
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 4: because it's Mahomes on the other side and they're giving

119
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 4: a lot of respect to him. So I think for

120
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 4: the Baltimore side, you can make a case of this

121
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 4: line should be a lot wider.

122
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 2: For the Lions Niners game.

123
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 4: I think that number's fair and I think if San

124
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 4: Francisco plays their game, I think it'll be a pretty.

125
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 2: One sided affair. Okay, let me segue from a melt

126
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 2: your mind bundle of stats to a melt your face question. Okay,

127
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 2: I like it. Here's the question, what is your biggest

128
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 2: takeaway from last week's games that could impact this week's games? Right?

129
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 2: And I think of it like this. I look at

130
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 2: the Chiefs defense, which played pretty well last week against

131
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 2: the Bills. This is crazy to me. So the Bills

132
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 2: had thirty one more offensive plays than the Chiefs and

133
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 2: gained seven more yards. Think about that. That's a lot

134
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,839
Speaker 2: of plays and not a lot of yardage. So it

135
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 2: speaks to what Mahomes and company were able to do

136
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 2: when they had the ball, and it shows that defensively,

137
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 2: the Chiefs played pretty well all things considered. The one

138
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,280
Speaker 2: thing that didn't do it very good job of was

139
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 2: trying to limit Josh Allen's effectiveness running the ball. He

140
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 2: had twelve carries for seventy two yards and two touchdowns.

141
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 2: So as good as the Chiefs played defensively last week,

142
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 2: they didn't do a great job slowing down Josh Allen.

143
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 2: And as it pertains to Lamar Jackson and what he

144
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 2: did last week, one hundred yards against the Texans on

145
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 2: the ground, and we know what he's done all season

146
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 2: and throughout his career, So that to me is one

147
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 2: of my biggest questions about the Chiefs defense. They played

148
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 2: really well, but the one thing they didn't do a

149
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 2: great job of is something that could completely bite him

150
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 2: in the butt against the Ravens and Lamar's running ability, I.

151
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:44,679
Speaker 3: Would say the one aspect of the weekend last weekend

152
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 3: that I think is gonna have the biggest impact this

153
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 3: week would be Deebo Samuel's injury. Now we don't know

154
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 3: how severe it is. It's always tight lipped in the playoffs.

155
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 3: We do know that he was practicing. We saw some

156
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 3: practice film, but running route on air or you know,

157
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 3: running routes at practice where you know that if you

158
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 3: lose Debo for this game, your playoff hopes are somewhat

159
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 3: in jeopardy as a result of not having him in

160
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 3: the game plan. So I'm sure he took zero hits

161
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 3: this week. I'm sure they bubble wrapped him when he

162
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 3: was on the field. They might have even given him

163
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 3: a red jersey. I've seen that sometimes on players coming

164
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 3: back from injury during practice, to make sure that everybody

165
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 3: remembers hands off this guy. But if you don't have

166
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,839
Speaker 3: Deebo Samuel, the forty nine ers offense change is a

167
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 3: great deal. And we saw that mid season during that

168
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 3: three game losing streak for the Niners, because that was

169
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,079
Speaker 3: the biggest injury, that was the most key of the injuries.

170
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 3: You saw Trent Williams get banged up, but Deebo Samuel

171
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,679
Speaker 3: was really the only skilled position player who was off

172
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 3: the field that entire stretch. And brock Purty struggled, and

173
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 3: he struggled for two reasons. One, you don't have one

174
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 3: of your best passing threats on the field, and so obviously,

175
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,679
Speaker 3: when you're in trouble, throwing it to Debo is an

176
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 3: answer to the trouble you're in. But the other part

177
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 3: of it is not having him tilting the field toward him.

178
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 3: When you have such a threat on the field, the

179
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 3: defense has to respect that threat.

180
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 2: Are we gonna double them?

181
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 3: Are we going to put our best coverage guy on him?

182
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 3: You know, that makes other opportunities for other guys on

183
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 3: the field, like George Kittle, like Christian McCaffrey, you know,

184
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 3: so like Brandon Ayuk. So I think that's the biggest

185
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 3: thing from last week in terms of a carryover effect

186
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 3: into this week.

187
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 2: I agree one hundred percent. Debo on the field is massive.

188
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 4: I think if I had to guess, and we'll get

189
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 4: into this more during the game and when we break

190
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 4: down the game, if I had to guess, he's on

191
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,839
Speaker 4: the field a lot as a decoy just to get

192
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:48,319
Speaker 4: the Lions into their nickel coverage. And that's a tease.

193
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 4: I'll tell you why that the Lions. If you're a

194
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 4: Niners fan, you want the Lions in their nickel coverage again.

195
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 4: When we break down this game a little later in

196
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 4: the show, I think, for me, I'll go big picture, guys.

197
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:03,679
Speaker 4: I think we're not appreciating this Ravens team enough. I

198
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 4: honestly think if they're able to get past the boss

199
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 4: Man tomorrow, mister Mahomes, and then win the Super Bowl next.

200
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 2: Week, I thought we were playing done Martin Momio.

201
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 4: Sorry, man, admit the legit. I think we might end

202
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 4: up viewing this Ravens team now. It's not as pretty

203
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 4: on the eyes as we normally like when we're when

204
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 4: we're thinking about like elite teams of all time, like

205
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 4: we don't We're not probably not going to think about

206
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 4: this Ravens team, but we should because dating back to

207
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,959
Speaker 4: nineteen eighty one, like this is a long time, right.

208
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 4: The DVA numbers, which are kind of viewed as like

209
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 4: industry standard for like efficiency, peak efficiency, they have the Ravens.

210
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 4: This year's Ravens through the Division round have the highest

211
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 4: weighted dv OA of any team since nineteen eighty one,

212
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 4: more than the eighty five Bears, higher than the ninety

213
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 4: six Packers.

214
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 2: With Brett farv.

215
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,359
Speaker 4: I mean, we are talking about in terms of efficiency analytics,

216
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:13,079
Speaker 4: arguably the greatest team of our generation. If they're able

217
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 4: to you know, you have to win the Super Bowl, right,

218
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 4: it doesn't matter if you don't win the Super Bowl.

219
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 4: Ten of the fourteen teams on this list have won

220
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,839
Speaker 4: the Super Bowl. The highest ranked team that didn't win

221
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 4: it was the twenty twenty Bills who were defeated by

222
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 4: Patrick Maltz in the AC Championship Game.

223
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 2: So there is a bit of a history here.

224
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 4: I think with the Ravens, if they are able to

225
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 4: get past what I consider to be like the great

226
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 4: you know, boss man of the of the AFC right now,

227
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 4: and they're able to win the Super Bowl in two weeks,

228
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 4: they in analytical you know view will go down as

229
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:48,559
Speaker 4: one of the greatest themes of all time.

230
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is pretty crazy, the Ravens. They're the first

231
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:57,719
Speaker 2: team in NFL history that led the league in points allowed, sacks,

232
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 2: and takeaways. Like that's historical defense right there, and it

233
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 2: isn't just in today's game, and it's kind of grading

234
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 2: on a curve. They allowed sixteen point five points per game.

235
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 2: Sixteen point five is really low in an era like

236
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 2: today and then they sack you and they also take

237
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 2: the ball away the most Like, that's a lot of

238
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 2: stuff right there. And they have Lamar who's probably gonna

239
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 2: be a two time MVP when it's all said and done.

240
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,240

Speaker 2: king of sports books, the King of parlays. Okay, so

285
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 2: this is a real sentence. The Atlanta Falcons have shows

286
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 2: Raheem Morris to be their next head coach over Bill Belichick.

287
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 2: That is a real thing where Bill Belichick, who is

288
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 2: in striking distance of winning more games than Don Shula

289
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 2: for the most wins ever as a head coach in

290
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 2: the history of the NFL, has six rings as a

291
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 2: head coach. He got the cold shoulder for a guy

292
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 2: that in the NFL as a head coach, his record

293
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 2: is seventeen and thirty one. That's Raheem Morris. I'm not

294
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 2: saying he's that guy going forward, but that's his resume

295
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 2: to date. And the Falcon said we'll take him over

296
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 2: the goat, and it looks like Belichick is gonna get

297
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 2: shut out as far as this coaching Mary Garround goes,

298
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 2: and he might have to wait until next season. That

299
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 2: that's crazy, but here we are.

300
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is the ultimate proof that this is what

301
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 3: have you done for you me lately?

302
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 2: Type of league. I think it's odd.

303
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 3: I think it's it's a little bit maybe on Belichick.

304
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 3: Somebody actually said this to me yesterday. I forget who

305
00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 3: I was talking to, but somebody said, hey, you know,

306
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 3: maybe this is one of those things where Bill kind

307
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 3: of forgot how to interview, you know, like it's when

308
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 3: a guy gets divorced and he's on the scene for

309
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 3: the first time in twenty years.

310
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,479
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I know that very unfortunately.

311
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 2: Well that's a example for me.

312
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 3: A lot of our listeners do too. You know, you're

313
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 3: stuck in a relationship, whether you're married or not. Everybody

314
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 3: has had that experience where you're in a relationship and

315
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 3: then it ends and then you're like, wait, how do

316
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 3: I do this again? You know for the ladies, you know,

317
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 3: how do I approach a guy I'm interested in without

318
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 3: coming off weird?

319
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 2: You know? For a guy it's like, you know, am

320
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 2: I coming up to you? Strong.

321
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, exactly, Yeah, I mean, in fact, I mean

322
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 3: the sometimes your weirdness is your charm and you have

323
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 3: to sort of recapture that. And there is something about

324
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 3: being charming that a candidate.

325
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 2: Needs to embody like. It is a little bit like dating.

326
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 3: When you're going in for a job interview, you you

327
00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 3: do have to be a little bashful, and you know,

328
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:04,439
Speaker 3: maybe play a little hard to get, or maybe not

329
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 3: come on too strong, or or maybe allow the other

330
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:09,880
Speaker 3: person to talk even though you're not all that interested

331
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 3: in what they have to say. Like there's that give

332
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 3: and take that perhaps Belichick has forgotten about, you know.

333
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 3: And I could see this situation being like, well, you know,

334
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 3: I want to go coach in Atlanta, and I've made

335
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:26,440
Speaker 3: up my mind, and so I'm just waiting for them

336
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:29,199
Speaker 3: to come to their senses because I told them what

337
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 3: I wanted in terms of my salary structure, and in

338
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 3: terms of my coaching staff, and in terms of the

339
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 3: amount of control and power I wanted to have in

340
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:42,639
Speaker 3: this relationship. And you know what, I'll just cross my

341
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 3: arms over here and I'll wait for them to call

342
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:47,920
Speaker 3: me eh, and then all of a sudden Raheem Morris

343
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 3: walked in and blew the doors off the place. Because

344
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 3: he's been there. He knows how to talk to those people.

345
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 3: You know, he's coached with the Atlanta Falcons before. He's

346
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:00,880
Speaker 3: been a head coach with the Atlanta Falcons before. An interim.

347
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 2: But they said to themselves, Hey, wait a minute, we

348
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 2: forgot how great this guy is.

349
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 3: And we were sitting here talking to Bill Belichick and

350
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 3: he was expecting us to pick up the tab on

351
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:13,919
Speaker 3: this nice dinner we were having. You know what, Raheem,

352
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 3: you're our guy, And all of a sudden, Bill Belichick's

353
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 3: left kind of looking around the bar.

354
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 2: Like, hey, did she say if she was coming back?

355
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:27,640
Speaker 4: I love The dating references are just it's it really

356
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 4: does hit close to home.

357
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 2: Guys.

358
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,680
Speaker 4: Let's just leave it at this, and this is maybe

359
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 4: advice for Bill, someone who has been there before. Right

360
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:40,640
Speaker 4: with this second turn, you can't use the same tactics

361
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 4: you use the first time around, because you're gonna pick

362
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:44,880
Speaker 4: up the same type of women.

363
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,879
Speaker 2: You're gonna make the same mistake. Let's just call it

364
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 2: what it is.

365
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 4: Raheem Morris a better fit for the Falcons and Bill

366
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 4: Belichick Like like period, end of story. All of the

367
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:58,120
Speaker 4: accolades that Bill has racked up. I mean good for him,

368
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 4: Like he's had an unbelievable career. He's seventy one years old. Like,

369
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:04,880
Speaker 4: the Falcons need a guy that's gonna come in there

370
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 4: and do what Dan Campbell did change the culture. I

371
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,160
Speaker 4: don't know if Bill's the right fit for that. I

372
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 4: think Bill is the culture and you have to adapt

373
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,920
Speaker 4: to him. I don't think that's the right fit for

374
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 4: the Falcons right now. I think the right fit for

375
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 4: the Falcons is a guy that's been a head coach before.

376
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:27,400
Speaker 4: It's been like ten years since then he has been

377
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,120
Speaker 4: to I mean you want to talk about the stop since.

378
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 2: Rahiem Morris has been a head coach.

379
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 4: I mean he won a Super Bowl with the Rams,

380
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:36,199
Speaker 4: Like the defense was the reason why they won that

381
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 4: Super Bowl down the stretch, I mean they were unbelievable,

382
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:43,680
Speaker 4: Floyd Miller and Donald I mean then you now take

383
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:46,680
Speaker 4: the next step further where you're back in the head

384
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 4: coaching circle and you got guys like Kyle Shanahan and

385
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 4: Sean McVay that are calling up the owner and saying,

386
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:55,159
Speaker 4: man like, we need to hire this guy, whereas Bill's

387
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 4: just kind of like all right, I've got all the rings.

388
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 4: Who wants to hire me? Like that's it's not the

389
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:04,119
Speaker 4: right attitude to be a leader of men in the NFL.

390
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,920
Speaker 4: Like again, I'm not one of those guys. Rich has been.

391
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 4: He could speak to it.

392
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:08,680
Speaker 2: He played for Bill.

393
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 4: But I think what was best for the Falcons right

394
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 4: now was to get a guy in there that really

395
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 4: wants to change the culture and isn't going to take

396
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:18,920
Speaker 4: all the power and just kind of be this manger

397
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 4: at the top of the CEO food chain. Like it

398
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 4: just didn't make sense. And I think Rahie Morris deserves

399
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 4: the shot, and I'm glad he got it. Well.

400
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 2: I think a couple of things here. It's a little

401
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 2: bit like the Falcons looking for their next quarterback, right,

402
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,359
Speaker 2: Think about that as it relates to them when they

403
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:37,879
Speaker 2: were looking for their next coach. Where ideally you'd like

404
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 2: to draft a guy who's gonna be your guy for

405
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 2: the next ten to fifteen years. That's ideal, but that's

406
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 2: easier said than done. Where if you look at a

407
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 2: guy like say Kirk Cousins, that was the rumor it

408
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:54,439
Speaker 2: might be Kirk Cousins in Belichick, Kirk Cousins might be

409
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:56,680
Speaker 2: really good in the short term, but due to his age,

410
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 2: not gonna be there for too long. But that still

411
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 2: could put your franch in a better spot than going

412
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 2: the you know, pie in the sky young quarterback route

413
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:10,639
Speaker 2: that might not pan out. That's how I look at

414
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:15,119
Speaker 2: Raheem Morris. Yeah. The thought is he's younger. He's forty seven,

415
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 2: So if this guy pops, he could be our guy

416
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:21,919
Speaker 2: for a long long time. But I look at Belichick

417
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 2: and I think about their last head coach, Arthur Smith.

418
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 2: Arthur Smith was there for three years. Raheem Morris might

419
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 2: only be there for three years. That's where he was

420
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 2: in Tampa when he was seven, seventeen and thirty one.

421
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 2: You know, I just think that in betting, I'll bring

422
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 2: it back to this. Sometimes it's so sharp it's actually dumb.

423
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,400
Speaker 2: That's what I think about this higher where I had

424
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,959
Speaker 2: like the quote unquote sharp play one week when I

425
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 2: took the LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels his under rushing yardage

426
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 2: and it's like, WHOA, that's a sharp play. Yeah, until

427
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 2: he had like a buck fifteen and it's no longer

428
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 2: sharp at all. That's how I think about ooh, Raheem Morris. Well,

429
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:04,200
Speaker 2: that's kind of the wild card. Yeah, I could see,

430
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:06,439
Speaker 2: can you start talking yourself into it? That is the

431
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 2: sharp move. I think over time it's gonna pan out

432
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 2: to be dumb. You passed on the goat for Raheem Morris,

433
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 2: who's fourteen games under five hundred with Tampa and if

434
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:19,360
Speaker 2: you throw in the interim days with Atlanta at four

435
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,719
Speaker 2: and seven, he's twenty one and thirty eight as an

436
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 2: NFL head coach, five four set of his games, Yeah,

437
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 2: thirty five percent. That's it's crazy to me.

438
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:34,440
Speaker 3: I think Atlanta made one really large misstep, and it's

439
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:37,440
Speaker 3: not their fault because they really, I think, were interested

440
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:39,399
Speaker 3: in Bill Belichick and what he had to say and

441
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,399
Speaker 3: what he was going to do with this franchise. But

442
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 3: it didn't work out in this interview process for whatever reason.

443
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 3: The reportedly it's because they wanted a more longer term

444
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 3: thick than Bill Belichick maybe was willing to offer.

445
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:54,879
Speaker 2: Whatever that means.

446
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:58,639
Speaker 3: Here's here's my thought process though, the fact that you

447
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:02,399
Speaker 3: got so far down the road with Bill Belichick before

448
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 3: abruptly pausing that interest and then steering toward Raheem Morris,

449
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 3: and now it now begs comparison. Now there's gonna be

450
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:17,360
Speaker 3: Falcons fans and analysts around the NFL going, yeah, well,

451
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:20,719
Speaker 3: how much better would the Falcons have been after the

452
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 3: twenty twenty four season comes to an end if they

453
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 3: struggle this upcoming season, which potentially they could if it

454
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 3: were if it were Bill Belichick coaching instead of Morris coaching.

455
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 3: And so that's the unfortunate reality for the Falcons. They

456
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:38,680
Speaker 3: have now set themselves up for comparison, especially if Bill

457
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 3: takes one of the other two coaching spots remaining has

458
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,359
Speaker 3: some success, you know they're gonna be Atlanta fans or

459
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:48,160
Speaker 3: a pissed if he's having success elsewhere and they're struggling

460
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 3: with Raheem Morris.

461
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 2: I don't think.

462
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 4: Bill's gonna get a job coaching this year, Like the

463
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,119
Speaker 4: odds are pretty are stacked pretty high against it.

464
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 2: Granted, the odds are pretty.

465
00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 4: High that he was going to get this Falcons job,

466
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 4: And I think that just shows the uh, the inconsistencies

467
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 4: with booking a market that there's really no like, there's

468
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 4: no way to book this market, Like it's really hard

469
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 4: to set odds on on on these coaches going to

470
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 4: these places.

471
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:14,240
Speaker 2: I hope Raheem does well. I think you're right, Rich.

472
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 4: I think if he doesn't do well, you're gonna hear

473
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:19,880
Speaker 4: a lot of well Bill would have done this, Yeah,

474
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:23,119
Speaker 4: and that's unfortunate for Raheem. He doesn't deserve that. I

475
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 4: I don't know what his like. I've never been a

476
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:29,200
Speaker 4: fan of hiring defensive minded head coaches, Like I'm personally

477
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 4: under the I would rather have an offensive guy kind

478
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 4: of running the show. I think their minds work a

479
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 4: little bit differently. They're a little bit less conservative in

480
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 4: certain spots. So we'll see how Raheem handles a lot

481
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 4: of those intricacies, the little nuances of the game that

482
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 4: sometimes can move a little fast for the rookie or

483
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:52,439
Speaker 4: the you know the first time, the first you know,

484
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 4: you know second, basically a second year head coach. I

485
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:59,679
Speaker 4: think I'm happy for Raheem. I think it was the

486
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:03,119
Speaker 4: right I don't think Bill Belichick would have succeeded in Atlanta.

487
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,160
Speaker 4: I think he would have lasted. Like if we're worried

488
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,200
Speaker 4: about Raee Morris lasting three years, like, how long do

489
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 4: you think Bill would have really lasted? Like, I think

490
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 4: two years probably would have been the max.

491
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:11,920
Speaker 2: There.

492
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 4: He said he's seventy one years old. And I just

493
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 4: I think it's a good fit. Now we'll see if

494
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,400
Speaker 4: it ends up working out, but I do think the

495
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 4: move was like I think eventually Arthur got some advice

496
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:24,919
Speaker 4: Arthur Blank, the owner, that if you go down the

497
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 4: Belichick road, you better be prepared to give up everything.

498
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,159
Speaker 4: And he actually they made a move this week and

499
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:32,200
Speaker 4: they moved one of their presidents to like a different

500
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,639
Speaker 4: division because they're worried that future coaches that want to

501
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 4: come in and take full power will be a little bit.

502
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 4: I think his name is McKay, I forget his first name.

503
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:40,680
Speaker 4: He was like the president of the team. That was

504
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 4: kind of the organizational move they were worried about. So

505
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:44,919
Speaker 4: there's a lot of behind the scenes stuff with the

506
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 4: power structure that can get kind of thrown off with

507
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 4: these hires. But I do think for what the Falcons

508
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 4: needed right now, I think.

509
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 2: Rahee Morris better suits that. Two years Max for Belichick.

510
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, guys, he's seventy one.

511
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 2: I completely disagree with you could not how long is

512
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 2: he coaching Brian past two years? Max? He's not. I

513
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 2: don't even know if he gets shut out, which he

514
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:10,400
Speaker 2: most likely will, and he's back in the NFL next year,

515
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:12,680
Speaker 2: you think that he's one and done. No, I didn't

516
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:14,360
Speaker 2: say that. I said too, I said, I know, right,

517
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:16,920
Speaker 2: So if he if he got the coaching job this year,

518
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:18,920
Speaker 2: he got this year and next year. So if he

519
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 2: shut out this year, he's one and done. Next year

520
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 2: is the one and done.

521
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 4: I said two years, right, two years, not one.

522
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 2: That's two. You're not listening to me. So if you

523
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:33,400
Speaker 2: have a head coach, now, he's this year and next year.

524
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 2: So if he's not coaching, that's not one and done.

525
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:39,720
Speaker 2: So that he's one years, that's two.

526
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 4: You said one and done.

527
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 2: That one means he would have been fired this year,

528
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 2: one and done. Right if the two years begins this year,

529
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 2: but it doesn't, he's not two years, then begins the

530
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 2: next year. I don't know what arguing about, but what

531
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:54,920
Speaker 2: it would be two? It would be three.

532
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,640
Speaker 3: Right now, Let's bring it back to like the bar

533
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:01,479
Speaker 3: scene where Belichick is a single divorce man and the

534
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:04,679
Speaker 3: falcons are trying to swoon him. I'm curious what drink

535
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 3: he orders, like, what kind of vibe is he trying?

536
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:08,119
Speaker 3: Is here a martini?

537
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:08,440
Speaker 6: Man?

538
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 2: You know? Is he saying, you know, hey, you know,

539
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,119
Speaker 2: just give me a straight up bill as a beer

540
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:15,959
Speaker 2: or whiskey guy. Come up. Yeah, I've never saw him

541
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 2: as a matter of fact.

542
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 4: Drink you know him, see you give that's context, you've

543
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 4: actually met him.

544
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 3: We had one opportunity to party with Bill whilst with

545
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 3: the team. It was when Randy Moss invited him to

546
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:32,360
Speaker 3: a Halloween party that he threw at a United Skates

547
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:36,880
Speaker 3: of America. It was one of the funniest things I've

548
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 3: ever been involved in because Belichick showed up with his

549
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 3: girlfriend at the time, completely dressed in full pirates regalia,

550
00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:48,639
Speaker 3: Like he showed up as a pirate, like wearing like

551
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 3: it looked like a five hundred dollars costume. Like this

552
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 3: guy went to the hilt and his girlfriend too, like

553
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 3: with the you know, like everything, with like the boostdia

554
00:27:57,640 --> 00:27:58,200
Speaker 3: and everything.

555
00:27:58,320 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 2: It was the craziest thing.

556
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,200
Speaker 3: And then you know, he's walking up to you wearing

557
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,119
Speaker 3: an eyepatch and he's like, hey, Rich, you know, how's

558
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:06,879
Speaker 3: it going. And I'm just like, good coach, how are you?

559
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,639
Speaker 3: How's everything? But yeah, I didn't see what he was

560
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 3: drinking though, Yeah.

561
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:14,880
Speaker 2: I don't know about eye low. I could see him

562
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 2: wearing an eyepatch. I could see that, and I don't

563
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 2: know what his beverage of choice is, but he might

564
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:23,959
Speaker 2: enlighten us right here. He's got some information for us

565
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 2: around the sporting landscape and a little bit of a

566
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:30,639
Speaker 2: history with his own personal background. I low with the latest.

567
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:32,040
Speaker 2: What's going on here? My friend?

568
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:37,680
Speaker 7: Would you believe we actually have audio of Randy Moss

569
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 7: inviting Bill Belichick to that Halloween party back in two

570
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:43,480
Speaker 7: thousand and nine?

571
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 1: You want to hear it?

572
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:44,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, here we go.

573
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 1: We're trying to from a team standpoint, We're trying to

574
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 1: have a Halloween party.

575
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 2: So you're not interested in it? Are you in Halloween party? Well,

576
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 2: this is what it is. We were in dressed as

577
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 2: the devil. No, that's what we're doing.

578
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 5: Basically, Well, you will get you might win the damn prize.

579
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 1: Trying to you know, get us a little DJ, get

580
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 1: us to roll the ring, and I don't have so.

581
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 2: Have us good night. But like I said, you're more

582
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:11,480
Speaker 2: than welcome or what sure if you invite the coaches

583
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 2: there on dinner, do you think they will do? Okay?

584
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 3: If you don't want no, no, no, no, no, no, that's

585
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 3: the opposite, because it's like Flance is Halloween.

586
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:21,479
Speaker 2: I mean, we don't go out no more, right, you

587
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying. Right, But we still have that

588
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 2: great holiday.

589
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 7: Yeah, nothing like to the greatest of all time discussing

590
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 7: the merits of Halloween. That's how it sounded back in

591
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 7: two thousand and nine. Fellows, we begin in the NBA,

592
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 7: and to paraphrase Casey Stengle, can't anybody here play defense

593
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 7: because on Friday night, Luka Doncic of the Dallas Mavericks

594
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 7: scored seventy three points in a one forty eight one

595
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 7: forty three win at Atlanta, tying Wilt Chamberlain and David

596
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 7: Thompson for the fourth highest scoring game in NBA history.

597
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 7: Also Friday night, Devin Booker of the Phoenix Suns scored

598
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 7: sixty two points at a one to thirty three, one

599
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 7: thirty one loss at Indiana. It's the fifth time in

600
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 7: NBA history the two players have scored sixty plus on

601
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 7: the same day. Two of those five happened this week.

602
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 7: Back on Monday, Joe Ellenbida the Sixers dropped seventy. Karl

603
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 7: Anthony Towns of the Timberwolves scored sixty two. Also Friday night,

604
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 7: the Cleveland Cavaliers wanted Milwaukee one twelve to one hundred.

605
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 7: The Cavs have won nine of ten ESPN reporting Doc

606
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 7: River is expected to make his Milwaukee head coaching debut

607
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 7: on Monday against Denver. Finally, fellas in soccer, the Egyptian

608
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 7: Football Association, in an effort to bring them more luck

609
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 7: at the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations tournament, has sacrificed

610
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 7: a cow.

611
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:59,040
Speaker 3: What oh my gosh, Well, I guess technically for everyone

612
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 3: every every night when I'm having a ribbi, So it's

613
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:05,240
Speaker 3: not that's ridiculous.

614
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 7: And to their credit, the federation did distribute the meat

615
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 7: from the slaughtered cow to needy people in Cairo, but

616
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 7: apparently they feel that that is going to bring them

617
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 7: good luck at their upcoming tournament. We will be tracking

618
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 7: the results closely back to you guys.

619
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:27,480
Speaker 2: No shortage of weird when it comes to soccer stories. Man,

620
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:31,240

Speaker 2: beverage credits. Har let's do this check this out with

655
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 2: Harlay Letter. Okay, Jared Smith has been hard at work,

656
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:36,720
Speaker 2: and this is probably the most detailed parlay that you've

657
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:39,719
Speaker 2: thrown together, I believe, is it not? Is it is?

658
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:43,720
Speaker 4: It's a little more robust than Parlay's pass. But listen,

659
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 4: slim pickens, guys. We only have two games. So I

660
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 4: took one of the games that I think is gonna

661
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 4: be a blowout, and I try to slant the numbers

662
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 4: in my favor. A lot of these bets are correlated,

663
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 4: so I think if one hits, it'll kind of be

664
00:33:57,480 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 4: like a trigger that sets off the other. But let's

665
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 4: start with the first half. We're gonna take the Niners

666
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 4: in the first half to cover a six and a

667
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:06,520
Speaker 4: half point spread. We're gonna take the Niners in the

668
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 4: first half to exceed fourteen and a half points.

669
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:10,800
Speaker 2: Right, those are pretty correlated.

670
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 4: If the Niners cover six and a half in the

671
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:15,120
Speaker 4: first half, odds are they're probably gonna go over fourteen

672
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 4: and a half with their team total for the full game.

673
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 4: We're gonna lay nine and a half points. We're gonna

674
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:22,040
Speaker 4: sell two points with the Niners here. I may lay

675
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 4: nine and a half and then take the team total

676
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:26,439
Speaker 4: to thirty and a half.

677
00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 2: And bet the over.

678
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 4: So again, I think if they cover nine and a

679
00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:32,839
Speaker 4: half for the game, odds are the Niners are also

680
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:36,920
Speaker 4: going over their team total. Rock Purty over two hundred

681
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 4: and seventy nine and a half passing yards. He's gone

682
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 4: over this in five of seven games at home this year.

683
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:41,680
Speaker 4: I think this is gonna be a game where he's

684
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:43,319
Speaker 4: gonna have a lot of success. I think all the

685
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 4: Kyle Shanahan doesn't trust Brock Purty stuff is nonsense. They're

686
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 4: gonna be very aggressive against the line's defense that struggles

687
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:51,080
Speaker 4: to stop the deep pass. So we're gonna pair that

688
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:54,840
Speaker 4: with rock Perty forty or more yards for his longest completion.

689
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:56,319
Speaker 2: Right, if he goes over to two hundred and seventy

690
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:57,279
Speaker 2: nine and a half passing yard.

691
00:34:57,160 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 4: It's probably gonna hit a long completion at some point

692
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:01,719
Speaker 4: of forty yards or more. And then finally got to

693
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 4: give you one Lions prop to really boost the odds.

694
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:06,240
Speaker 2: Right, that's the non correlated part of the parlay.

695
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:08,480
Speaker 4: So we'll go Jamior Gibbs over forty four and a

696
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:10,799
Speaker 4: half rushing yards. I think this is the matchup for

697
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:14,840
Speaker 4: the Lions. Take advantage of the Niners been susceptible to

698
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:16,279
Speaker 4: the run at.

699
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:16,799
Speaker 2: Times this year.

700
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 4: So Niners in the first half minus six and a half,

701
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:21,560
Speaker 4: Niners team total over fourteen and a half. First half

702
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:24,959
Speaker 4: Niners game minus nine and a half, game over thirty

703
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:27,040
Speaker 4: and a half for the team total, Brock Purty over

704
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 4: two seventy nine a half passing yards, Brock Party forty

705
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:30,799
Speaker 4: yards longest pass and.

706
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:32,719
Speaker 2: Jamieer gives over forty four and a half rushing yards.

707
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:36,160
Speaker 4: Who is fifteen to one if all of these things happen,

708
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 4: seven leg parlay, good luck, got speed.

709
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:41,000
Speaker 2: It's probably not hitting, but we're gonna try anything.

710
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:44,759
Speaker 3: We don't have the odds on the individual legs of

711
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:48,280
Speaker 3: the parlay. I'm guessing the longest odds are that party

712
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 3: forty plus yards?

713
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:51,680
Speaker 2: Yeah pass, Yeah, yeah.

714
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 3: I mean but I could see it because there are

715
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:58,160
Speaker 3: definitely issues, as you alluded to, with the Detroit Lions secondary.

716
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:02,319
Speaker 3: So that's uh some poor tackling at that. So that's, uh,

717
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:04,680
Speaker 3: that's gonna be tricky. But I like it.

718
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 2: I like it. You gotta juice up them odd somehow.

719
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:09,399
Speaker 2: I like it a lot. Don't go hard on this guy.

720
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:13,279
Speaker 2: Slip bage sprinkle. Yeah, you just gave Chris Purfett our

721
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:19,400
Speaker 2: technical in my goodness, Lions fan, Lions podcaster, you know

722
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:23,719
Speaker 2: it's so splittered with san fran Over's right there. This

723
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:27,879
Speaker 2: does it reminds me a little bit of Kashawn Right.

724
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:31,760
Speaker 2: So this is your Patriots wide receiver. He was arrested

725
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:35,160
Speaker 2: on Thursday for a legal betting while he was a

726
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:40,480
Speaker 2: minor at LSU, and he allegedly plays eighty nine hundred

727
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 2: bets and a little over a year span wild six

728
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:48,560
Speaker 2: of them involved his own team. I do love this.

729
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 2: So of the eighty nine hundred bets, seventeen were on

730
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:56,880
Speaker 2: college football games. That's it. That's all we got on

731
00:36:56,960 --> 00:37:02,520
Speaker 2: college Paul Okay, and then he allegedly had an eight

732
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:08,120
Speaker 2: leg parlay huh where he had himself scoring a touchdown

733
00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 2: and surpassing eighty two and a half receiving yards against

734
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 2: Florida State in twenty two. Wow, he ended up with

735
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:16,280
Speaker 2: two catches for twenty yards.

736
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 4: Don't They didn't even get there? Dude, bet on him,

737
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:20,640
Speaker 4: So we always say, oh, we're gonna fix the games.

738
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:23,080
Speaker 4: Even if they bet on themselves. He still doesn't guarantee

739
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:23,759
Speaker 4: you're gonna get there.

740
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 2: No, no, and it didn't. So one eight hundred gambler.

741
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:32,320
Speaker 3: I'm assuming he I'm assuming he was taking bets and

742
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:35,000
Speaker 3: he was taking action for a Yes, he made then

743
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:39,640
Speaker 3: and people who weren't so interested in taking the risk,

744
00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:43,879
Speaker 3: but we're we're definitely interested in placing wagers. So that's

745
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:46,840
Speaker 3: I mean, which, by the way, through their investigation, if

746
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:51,799
Speaker 3: if that's found out that he was actually running you know,

747
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:55,080
Speaker 3: a betting house out of his dorm room or something,

748
00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:57,920
Speaker 3: that that's gonna be even more trouble that he'll get into.

749
00:37:58,360 --> 00:37:59,759
Speaker 2: But again that's just speculation.

750
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:03,320
Speaker 3: You know this, this feels a little bit and fellas

751
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 3: I believe in personal accountability, But it's kind of like

752
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:10,680
Speaker 3: that that rule in law, it's called an attractive nuisance,

753
00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:13,279
Speaker 3: Like if you leave a bab gun out on your

754
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 3: front yard and some kid wanders onto your driveway and

755
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 3: picks it up and accidentally, you know, shoots himself in

756
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 3: the eye, Like that can be the landowner's fault because

757
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:25,400
Speaker 3: children are inherently.

758
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:30,359
Speaker 2: Curious and the law protects kids. And so I mean,

759
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 2: is there a little bit of that to this? I

760
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:33,399
Speaker 2: know he went out of his.

761
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 3: Way as a minor to do this, he created an

762
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:38,000
Speaker 3: alias and all that, but it's there a little bit

763
00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:40,720
Speaker 3: of that here with the rules we're putting on gambling

764
00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:42,640
Speaker 3: when it pertains to college affletes.

765
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 4: Well, the thing is that he didn't really try that

766
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:47,279
Speaker 4: hard to create an alias. Like when I was looking

767
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:49,920
Speaker 4: at the user names, it was like, hey, Sean Booty

768
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:53,040
Speaker 4: eighty nine, Like I'm.

769
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:55,600
Speaker 2: Not even joking. I'm not like Joan knows ip number

770
00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 2: eighty or whatever. I'm not even joking. It's actually crazy here.

771
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:00,560
Speaker 2: Actually no, I thought on the tweet.

772
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 4: So while playing more in eight hundred bets, while including

773
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 4: some on his own team, he used the user name

774
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:09,040
Speaker 4: Kashawan Booty seven kay Shan booty.

775
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:12,359
Speaker 2: Oh one. He didn't even try to hide his use.

776
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:14,440
Speaker 4: Like it's basically like creating a burner and using your

777
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 4: actual name. Like it's wild and eighty nine hundred bets. Guys.

778
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:21,080
Speaker 4: Put it in perspective in a year long time, that's

779
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 4: twenty four wagers a day.

780
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:26,480
Speaker 2: I do this for a living. I don't get close

781
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:26,799
Speaker 2: to that.

782
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 4: Like, that's a lot of ways, Like to Riches's point

783
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 4: has to be from other people.

784
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:33,799
Speaker 2: Has to be. Yeah, I don't know. When you break

785
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:36,000
Speaker 2: it down per day, you can get there. You can.

786
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:43,640
Speaker 2: I got to about sensitive fan base in sports. Oh,

787
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:48,000
Speaker 2: what's going on? Happy championship Sunday, Eve to you as

788
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:52,799
Speaker 2: we ramp up toward the Final four NFL style, I'll

789
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:55,520
Speaker 2: tell you this, as we look forward to this Lions

790
00:39:56,000 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 2: Niners matchup, I think this is the most sense fan

791
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:05,320
Speaker 2: base in sports. Oh it would be the brock Purty

792
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:08,759
Speaker 2: fan club. Ooh yeah, I actually agree with this.

793
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:12,280
Speaker 3: I know somebody who's a big time fan of the Niners,

794
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 3: and some of the things that left his mouth this week,

795
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 3: it just me, oh my gosh, that trash.

796
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:22,160
Speaker 4: Rich let's go.

797
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:25,759
Speaker 3: I mean, well, here up, here's the crazy thing. And

798
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:28,200
Speaker 3: I'm sorry for jumping all over you, Brian. But this

799
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:30,640
Speaker 3: one hits this one, I can't tell it hit.

800
00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:32,440
Speaker 2: Close to Yeah, I struck a nerve here.

801
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:36,279
Speaker 3: It plucks all the right strings because I've been dealing

802
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:37,280
Speaker 3: with it all week long.

803
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:40,440
Speaker 4: Are we getting a name or is this is an

804
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:43,240
Speaker 4: anonymous Actually yeah, yeah, yeah, no, he's He's a sports

805
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:45,320
Speaker 4: talk radio show host in San Diego.

806
00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:47,240
Speaker 2: I do a show called Big Rich.

807
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:50,719
Speaker 3: TD and Fletch and the third leg of the the

808
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:55,799
Speaker 3: name there Fletch, Ben Fletcher. Fletch an enormous and I

809
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:58,960
Speaker 3: mean an enormous Niners fans fan.

810
00:40:59,040 --> 00:40:59,760
Speaker 2: And Brock Purty.

811
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:05,239
Speaker 3: Now he doesn't need to apologize for much because Brock

812
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:09,160
Speaker 3: Purty and I'll admit this, and I've loved watching his

813
00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:13,680
Speaker 3: ascension to a starting quarterback off the roster last year.

814
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:18,480
Speaker 3: What he did in the postseason was beyond admirable until

815
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:23,319
Speaker 3: he hurt his elbow last season and then this year,

816
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:26,000
Speaker 3: to be frank, he played an awful game in the

817
00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:29,640
Speaker 3: Divisional round against the Green Bay Packers. However, he recovered

818
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:32,480
Speaker 3: well in that that last drive. I think we can

819
00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:36,080
Speaker 3: sort of, you know, very neatly in a couple of sentences,

820
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 3: describe his career as such, but the lengths that a

821
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:43,280
Speaker 3: forty nine Ers fan will go to prove that brock

822
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:46,719
Speaker 3: Purty is the next coming of Tom Brady. You know,

823
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:51,880
Speaker 3: to anybody who says anything negative about him is it's ridiculous,

824
00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:56,279
Speaker 3: it's strange, it's beyond what it needs to be. I mean,

825
00:41:56,360 --> 00:41:58,040
Speaker 3: don't get me wrong. I think there's a lot of

826
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 3: analysts who have brock Purty painted as something he isn't,

827
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:04,480
Speaker 3: as something far worse than he actually is. And I

828
00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:06,480
Speaker 3: think maybe that's a little bit of Hey, I'm trying

829
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:08,640
Speaker 3: to stir the pot, because this guy's coming off his

830
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:12,439
Speaker 3: worst playoff appearance as a starting quarterback. Mind you, he's

831
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:16,040
Speaker 3: only appeared in what now three playoff games, so very

832
00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:17,120
Speaker 3: short sample size.

833
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:21,799
Speaker 2: But it's odd. It's odd to hear people.

834
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:26,560
Speaker 3: So passionately defend a guy who's barely played football at

835
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:29,000
Speaker 3: this level. I mean, he's still in the infancy of

836
00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:31,879
Speaker 3: his career. He's got a lot left to prove. He's

837
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:34,480
Speaker 3: shown a lot, he's shown a great deal in fact,

838
00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:36,840
Speaker 3: but he still has a lot left to prove before

839
00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:39,279
Speaker 3: he gets the level of defense that some forty nine

840
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:40,319
Speaker 3: Er fans want to put up.

841
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:43,440
Speaker 2: For go ahead, Brian get Us back on track here,

842
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:46,799
Speaker 2: I may listen. He's preaching to the choir right here,

843
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:53,719
Speaker 2: because listen, it's one thing if you really do give

844
00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:57,600
Speaker 2: him no credit whatsoever and you're just taking shot after

845
00:42:57,719 --> 00:43:01,160
Speaker 2: shot and maybe taking some unreasonable bull shots. Okay, that's

846
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:04,680
Speaker 2: one thing. But if you say something that's completely accurate,

847
00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:08,080
Speaker 2: it should not be taken as if you just gave

848
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:11,920
Speaker 2: him double birds and you're giving him no credit whatsoever. Yeah,

849
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:15,080
Speaker 2: if you just simply say he's got to play better

850
00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:19,680
Speaker 2: for the Niners to win it all this season, that's true.

851
00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:22,640
Speaker 2: Honey did not play well against the Packers, and like

852
00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:24,719
Speaker 2: Rich said, give him credit for that final drive. He

853
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:27,360
Speaker 2: was six for seven. He showed up when it finally

854
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:30,520
Speaker 2: mattered most. But that was not a good game. Remember

855
00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 2: when Nick Saban was ticked off after wins at Alabama

856
00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:37,640
Speaker 2: where they'd win by like twenty eight points, and he

857
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:41,160
Speaker 2: would sound like he lost by thirty because he knew

858
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:46,000
Speaker 2: that wasn't gonna be good enough against better opponents. It's

859
00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:48,640
Speaker 2: the same thing with Brock Purdy. He's got to step

860
00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:50,680
Speaker 2: it up or they're not going to win it all.

861
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:55,439
Speaker 2: But if you say that, these Brock Perdy fanboys and fangirls.

862
00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:59,719
Speaker 2: They come after your freaking juggular. They are crazy. And

863
00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:02,359
Speaker 2: the one thing that I keep coming back to is

864
00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:06,759
Speaker 2: they're just like, oh, you can check that box. Comeback win.

865
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:11,719
Speaker 2: Done deal. It's like he's got one. He's got one.

866
00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:14,879
Speaker 2: Albeit it was a significant one, but there's one. Why

867
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:17,960
Speaker 2: are we acting like he's John Elway, He's the comeback

868
00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:23,240
Speaker 2: kid now after one comeback win, it's just I gotta

869
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:27,279
Speaker 2: see more. And I don't understand how that's just withholding

870
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:29,840
Speaker 2: all credit from the guy in the eyes of the

871
00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:33,120
Speaker 2: brock Purty fan club, It's just it's gotten crazy where

872
00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:35,640
Speaker 2: it's at now. Yeah, fan short for fanatic.

873
00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:38,160
Speaker 4: I think that's kind of what we're talking about here,

874
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:41,359
Speaker 4: because I think if you ask a lot of reasonable

875
00:44:41,719 --> 00:44:44,200
Speaker 4: NFL minds that have no dog in the fight, they

876
00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:46,239
Speaker 4: don't care if brock Purty is good or bad. They're

877
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:49,240
Speaker 4: just analyzing what they see and the numbers that come across.

878
00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:50,560
Speaker 2: Like Bro's one.

879
00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:53,840
Speaker 4: Of those guys that the efficiency numbers will pop at times.

880
00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:57,360
Speaker 4: But then you watch him play, and then you go

881
00:44:57,440 --> 00:45:00,800
Speaker 4: watch like, for example, you watch the game with brock

882
00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:04,960
Speaker 4: Purty facing Jordan Love and then imagine you just close

883
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:07,040
Speaker 4: your eyes and then reopen them. And then you're watching

884
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:11,319
Speaker 4: the Josh Allen Mahomes game. Like the level of quarterback

885
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:14,279
Speaker 4: play in that game, regardless of what the stats say,

886
00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:18,560
Speaker 4: was so far advanced from what Jordan Love and Brock

887
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:21,480
Speaker 4: Purty were doing. And it's not a knock on Brock

888
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:25,080
Speaker 4: or Jordan. Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes are like the

889
00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:28,080
Speaker 4: gold standard of quarterbacking in the NFL. Lamar Jackson two

890
00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:32,680
Speaker 4: time MVP, gold standard of efficiency of getting the ball

891
00:45:32,719 --> 00:45:35,919
Speaker 4: down the field without you stopping it like in any way,

892
00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:41,719
Speaker 4: shape or form, arms, legs always. Brock's just not that guy,

893
00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:44,400
Speaker 4: and that's okay. It doesn't make him a bad quarterback.

894
00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:48,719
Speaker 4: It just means he's limited by his physical restraints and

895
00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:53,040
Speaker 4: those physical upsides those tools. Doesn't have as many tools

896
00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:55,920
Speaker 4: in the toolbox as an Alan or a Mahomes or

897
00:45:55,960 --> 00:45:58,319
Speaker 4: a Lamar Jackson does. Again, it doesn't mean he can't

898
00:45:58,360 --> 00:46:00,440
Speaker 4: win a Super Bowl, doesn't mean he he's not a

899
00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:04,600
Speaker 4: perfect fit for the Niners offense. But he's not the

900
00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:07,040
Speaker 4: MVP of the league. He never was, he never will be.

901
00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:09,880
Speaker 4: And that's and that's okay, Like not everyone's gonna be

902
00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:14,160
Speaker 4: the MVP. Like that's Mahomes, that's Josh Allen, that's Lamar Jackson,

903
00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:17,000
Speaker 4: rock Perty. If he plays within the system and he

904
00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:19,319
Speaker 4: does everything he has to do, he can look like

905
00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:22,680
Speaker 4: an all star quarterback. But the tools, the physical tools

906
00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:26,759
Speaker 4: that really separate the greats. I just don't think Brock

907
00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:27,120
Speaker 4: has it.

908
00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:30,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I'm with you on that.

909
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:34,800
Speaker 4: And uh, he's gonna be better this week though, Yeah, yeah.

910
00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:37,920
Speaker 2: I do. Yeah, because that man, that lion secondary ex thing. Man,

911
00:46:38,080 --> 00:46:40,200
Speaker 2: it's a good matchup this week for him. Yeah. When

912
00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:45,280
Speaker 2: you look at Cameron Sutton dislike playing cornerback in the NFL.

913
00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:49,000
Speaker 2: So it gets torched by Justin Jefferson in week eighteen.

914
00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:53,239
Speaker 2: Then he draws up phukn Nakuwa, who torches him in

915
00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:55,320
Speaker 2: the wild card round, and then he's got to guard

916
00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:59,000
Speaker 2: Mike Evans who torched him in the divisional round. Now

917
00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:02,600
Speaker 2: he's probably got brand naiyuk, which is like good luck

918
00:47:02,640 --> 00:47:07,319
Speaker 2: to you. But man, Sutton, he is getting torched some

919
00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:09,960
Speaker 2: of these routes. Like Pokin Nakua had a fifty yard

920
00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:13,880
Speaker 2: touchdown catch and it was just like this simple little

921
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:18,880
Speaker 2: double move and Sutton was nowhere near Pookin Nakula. Like

922
00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:22,800
Speaker 2: that is a bad, bad matchup. That's why this Lion's

923
00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:26,440
Speaker 2: pass rush it's gotta get home. You gotta put pressure

924
00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:29,520
Speaker 2: on brock Purdy or he's gonna dice that secondary. Yup,

925
00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:32,800
Speaker 2: there's just not good enough well, and he's great against pressure.

926
00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:37,040
Speaker 3: Also, like brock Purdy, I think it's underrated his ability

927
00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:42,160
Speaker 3: to understand ball placement on deep routes, his anticipation on

928
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:46,680
Speaker 3: some of his throws. It's it's advanced beyond his years

929
00:47:46,719 --> 00:47:49,600
Speaker 3: in the NFL. There are times where he's doing stuff

930
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:52,200
Speaker 3: that you watch it and you say, oh, yeah, yeah,

931
00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:55,520
Speaker 3: that's the type of thing that we saw Tom Brady

932
00:47:55,560 --> 00:47:57,880
Speaker 3: do year five as a starter in the league, and

933
00:47:57,920 --> 00:48:00,440
Speaker 3: he's already doing it in year two. You know, there

934
00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:04,080
Speaker 3: are certain blitz pickups that he's helping the offensive line

935
00:48:04,080 --> 00:48:07,080
Speaker 3: with or hot reads on. You know, blitz is where

936
00:48:07,120 --> 00:48:11,040
Speaker 3: the defense is bringing more bodies than your offense or

937
00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:14,000
Speaker 3: you know your formation can block, and he's getting the

938
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:18,040
Speaker 3: ball out quickly to the right pass catcher. He does

939
00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:21,480
Speaker 3: a lot right and he plays extremely well within this system.

940
00:48:21,520 --> 00:48:23,520
Speaker 3: And by the way, Tom Brady was labeled as a

941
00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:27,800
Speaker 3: system quarterback ye for years a half a decade before

942
00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:31,160
Speaker 3: he started getting the respect that he quote unquote deserved.

943
00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:34,680
Speaker 3: But I also think that's respect that he earned. And

944
00:48:34,719 --> 00:48:37,320
Speaker 3: that's the part of this conversation that I'm so confused

945
00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:42,360
Speaker 3: about is where where do people who watch football? And

946
00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:44,840
Speaker 3: I consider a lot of the people I've heard from recently,

947
00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:48,200
Speaker 3: you know, the Richard Shermans of the world, and there

948
00:48:48,239 --> 00:48:50,440
Speaker 3: have been many others. You know, his name comes to

949
00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:53,600
Speaker 3: mind because of his ardent defense of brock perty It's like,

950
00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:56,360
Speaker 3: where do you come off, you know, talking about a

951
00:48:56,360 --> 00:48:58,880
Speaker 3: guy like he's earned it all at this level already,

952
00:48:59,040 --> 00:49:02,240
Speaker 3: and he's barely He just barely played over one season

953
00:49:02,280 --> 00:49:06,279
Speaker 3: in this league. I mean he started halfway through the

954
00:49:06,360 --> 00:49:08,960
Speaker 3: year last year, and I understand he played some postseason

955
00:49:08,960 --> 00:49:11,760
Speaker 3: games too, but he's only been a full time starter

956
00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:15,840
Speaker 3: for just this season. Could we pump the brakes on

957
00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:20,440
Speaker 3: welcoming him to Canton? But then on the other side

958
00:49:20,440 --> 00:49:24,120
Speaker 3: of it, I get it. Yeah, it was a really

959
00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:28,160
Speaker 3: crummy outing in the divisional round and Jordan Love undoubtedly

960
00:49:28,239 --> 00:49:31,360
Speaker 3: played a better game. He looked more poised, he looked

961
00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:34,240
Speaker 3: like the lights weren't too bright for him. Brock Perdy

962
00:49:34,239 --> 00:49:36,880
Speaker 3: it was the exact opposite. And if you have a

963
00:49:37,080 --> 00:49:39,560
Speaker 3: bad weather quarterback or if you have a quarterback who

964
00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:40,960
Speaker 3: can't play in bad weather.

965
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:41,759
Speaker 2: I got news for you.

966
00:49:41,840 --> 00:49:43,719
Speaker 3: That's gonna be a problem. That is going to be

967
00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:45,960
Speaker 3: a problem for you. So he's got to figure that

968
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:48,279
Speaker 3: out if that's the case. But steering back to the

969
00:49:48,320 --> 00:49:51,720
Speaker 3: point I was trying to make like it wasn't that bad.

970
00:49:52,040 --> 00:49:55,480
Speaker 3: Like so for anybody coming out against Brock Perdy like, well,

971
00:49:55,680 --> 00:49:58,760
Speaker 3: the Niners aren't gonna win until they fixed the party problem.

972
00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:02,120
Speaker 3: It's like whoa, Like, the Niners wouldn't have even been

973
00:50:02,160 --> 00:50:04,520
Speaker 3: in the playoffs last year if it weren't for Brock Purdy.

974
00:50:04,719 --> 00:50:07,160
Speaker 2: You could probably make that argument this year too.

975
00:50:07,320 --> 00:50:09,719
Speaker 3: So we got to pump our brakes on both sides

976
00:50:09,719 --> 00:50:12,960
Speaker 3: of this debate and let this thing bear out, because

977
00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:15,800
Speaker 3: I remember RG three back in twenty twelve looked like

978
00:50:15,840 --> 00:50:18,000
Speaker 3: he was going to take over the league, and then

979
00:50:18,040 --> 00:50:21,000
Speaker 3: within three years we were like, well that was a bust,

980
00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:24,799
Speaker 3: you know. And there are guys who who are kind

981
00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:28,680
Speaker 3: of on a slow simmer and they they heat up

982
00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:31,240
Speaker 3: into the quarterback, they're going to be in this league.

983
00:50:31,239 --> 00:50:33,920
Speaker 3: So I just say, we don't have to hit the

984
00:50:33,960 --> 00:50:37,000
Speaker 3: pause button, but we definitely got to take our finger

985
00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:39,920
Speaker 3: off of rewind or fast forward and just let this

986
00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:40,719
Speaker 3: thing play out.

987
00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:42,759
Speaker 2: Brock's the perfect quarterback for this.

988
00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:45,920
Speaker 4: I mean he's perfect, like, like, let's not try to

989
00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:48,200
Speaker 4: ask him to do something that he can't do. In

990
00:50:48,200 --> 00:50:50,160
Speaker 4: this particular case, I guess it's scripped the ball in

991
00:50:50,200 --> 00:50:53,480
Speaker 4: the wet weather, and that is a problem because again,

992
00:50:53,719 --> 00:50:56,960
Speaker 4: close your eyes and think about watching that Packers Niners game.

993
00:50:57,000 --> 00:50:58,920
Speaker 4: It was a little wet, a little slippy, right, but

994
00:50:59,040 --> 00:51:01,879
Speaker 4: it was what fifty to fifty five degrees very light

995
00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:05,400
Speaker 4: wins in Santa Clara. And then you close your eyes

996
00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:07,600
Speaker 4: and you think about the Bills Chiefs game, which was

997
00:51:07,640 --> 00:51:10,279
Speaker 4: played in ten to fifteen degree weather in twenty mile

998
00:51:10,280 --> 00:51:13,080
Speaker 4: an hour gus off the Lake Erie. You know, the

999
00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:16,600
Speaker 4: crazy Buffalo Western New York weather. Josh Allen and Patrick

1000
00:51:16,680 --> 00:51:20,080
Speaker 4: Mahomes are ripping it. The Chips average ten yards per play.

1001
00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:22,520
Speaker 4: Every time the Chiefs snapped the ball in that game,

1002
00:51:22,520 --> 00:51:26,120
Speaker 4: they were getting a first down. Like, you just can't

1003
00:51:26,160 --> 00:51:29,759
Speaker 4: compare what Mahomes and these guys can do to a

1004
00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:32,440
Speaker 4: Brock party. And again, it's not a knock on Brock.

1005
00:51:32,560 --> 00:51:35,000
Speaker 4: It's like saying, the six foot five guy can dunk,

1006
00:51:35,320 --> 00:51:37,359
Speaker 4: and you're mad that the guy that's five to ten.

1007
00:51:37,560 --> 00:51:41,520
Speaker 4: Can't like it. Just he's gifted, and not all humans

1008
00:51:41,560 --> 00:51:43,480
Speaker 4: are gifted with the type of skills that the.

1009
00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:45,319
Speaker 2: Mahomes and the Allens and Lamar Jackson's are.

1010
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:48,640
Speaker 4: And I think what Brock needs to do is get

1011
00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:50,360
Speaker 4: back to the bread and butter, Like this is a

1012
00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:55,080
Speaker 4: Niners offense when they are in rhythm and executing their scheme.

1013
00:51:55,320 --> 00:51:57,840
Speaker 4: There aren't a lot better with the efficiency, and Brock

1014
00:51:57,960 --> 00:51:59,680
Speaker 4: is great at putting the ball where it needs to

1015
00:51:59,719 --> 00:52:02,800
Speaker 4: be at the exact right moment, in the exact right spot.

1016
00:52:03,040 --> 00:52:05,480
Speaker 4: He won't have any weather or any win to deal with.

1017
00:52:05,560 --> 00:52:10,160
Speaker 4: It's perfect ideal conditions in Santa Clara Sunday. Granted the

1018
00:52:10,200 --> 00:52:12,319
Speaker 4: weather could change in twenty four hours, but right now

1019
00:52:12,320 --> 00:52:15,800
Speaker 4: we're seeing seventy degrees with like no win, no weather,

1020
00:52:15,920 --> 00:52:19,719
Speaker 4: nothing like literally perfect conditions. And to Brian's point, you're

1021
00:52:19,719 --> 00:52:21,920
Speaker 4: facing a Lion's defense that is kind of a sieve.

1022
00:52:22,160 --> 00:52:24,080
Speaker 4: And I was talking about getting DeBow onto the field,

1023
00:52:24,280 --> 00:52:27,560
Speaker 4: So even if he's just a decoy, get him onto

1024
00:52:27,600 --> 00:52:30,279
Speaker 4: the field to get into eleven personnel, which is one

1025
00:52:30,320 --> 00:52:33,440
Speaker 4: running back, one tight end, three wide receivers, because when

1026
00:52:33,480 --> 00:52:35,839
Speaker 4: the Lions have to match that with their nickel they

1027
00:52:35,840 --> 00:52:40,400
Speaker 4: are bottom five in almost every single passing metric I

1028
00:52:40,440 --> 00:52:44,839
Speaker 4: could find efficiency, success rate, explosive play rate. You get

1029
00:52:44,880 --> 00:52:47,760
Speaker 4: the Lions into their nickel coverage, you will have success

1030
00:52:47,800 --> 00:52:49,800
Speaker 4: throwing the ball down the field. It's just a matter

1031
00:52:49,840 --> 00:52:52,600
Speaker 4: of who's gonna catch it. Maybe it's Kittle, maybe it's Ayuk,

1032
00:52:52,680 --> 00:52:55,560
Speaker 4: Maybe it's Jennings, maybe it is Debo, maybe it's McCaffrey.

1033
00:52:55,880 --> 00:52:57,520
Speaker 4: Just get him in the nickel and you're gonna have

1034
00:52:57,560 --> 00:52:59,160
Speaker 4: success against this line's defense.

1035
00:52:59,320 --> 00:53:02,640
Speaker 2: You know, it's to me, there is a twist right here.

1036
00:53:02,760 --> 00:53:04,480
Speaker 2: I don't know if you guys agree with this, but

1037
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:10,319
Speaker 2: a lot of people think that the critics hold on

1038
00:53:10,520 --> 00:53:13,839
Speaker 2: to brock Purty being mister irrelevant right the last pick

1039
00:53:13,840 --> 00:53:16,800
Speaker 2: of the draft. I actually think it's the brock Purty

1040
00:53:16,880 --> 00:53:21,360
Speaker 2: fan club that holds on to that, more so because

1041
00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:23,520
Speaker 2: there is a school of thought where, hey, if brock

1042
00:53:23,560 --> 00:53:27,759
Speaker 2: Purty is the number three overall pick, like Trey Lance was,

1043
00:53:28,680 --> 00:53:31,520
Speaker 2: what are people saying? Are they knocking him as much?

1044
00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:34,600
Speaker 2: So maybe there's this feeling that you're short changing him

1045
00:53:34,600 --> 00:53:36,960
Speaker 2: because of where he's drafted. That could be the case

1046
00:53:36,960 --> 00:53:42,520
Speaker 2: from time to time, but the amount of support as

1047
00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:46,800
Speaker 2: if this is like a mother hog and her picklets

1048
00:53:46,840 --> 00:53:48,719
Speaker 2: are getting picked on her, you know what I mean? Like,

1049
00:53:49,480 --> 00:53:51,759
Speaker 2: I think a lot of that traces back to him

1050
00:53:51,800 --> 00:53:55,080
Speaker 2: being mister irrelevant. I think the fan club is more

1051
00:53:55,120 --> 00:53:57,880
Speaker 2: beholden to that, where if you say he's got to

1052
00:53:57,880 --> 00:54:00,839
Speaker 2: pick it up, are they're gonna lose going forward? This

1053
00:54:00,920 --> 00:54:04,120
Speaker 2: is only his fourth playoff game. He's won. Every game

1054
00:54:04,200 --> 00:54:08,279
Speaker 2: he's finished. They come after you, man, I don't know

1055
00:54:08,320 --> 00:54:11,440
Speaker 2: that they'd be coming after you the same way and

1056
00:54:11,560 --> 00:54:18,480
Speaker 2: really just absolving him of any wrongdoing whatsoever. I think

1057
00:54:18,520 --> 00:54:21,719
Speaker 2: it traces directly back to him being the last pick

1058
00:54:21,719 --> 00:54:25,520
Speaker 2: of the draft. I agree with you, I really do.

1059
00:54:25,920 --> 00:54:32,240
Speaker 3: I think that because Brock Purdy has outshined every single

1060
00:54:32,640 --> 00:54:37,920
Speaker 3: expectation for him at this level already, like being just

1061
00:54:38,080 --> 00:54:42,640
Speaker 3: merely competent, he would outshine any expectation because it is

1062
00:54:42,680 --> 00:54:46,400
Speaker 3: really hard just to be competent at this league level.

1063
00:54:46,880 --> 00:54:50,040
Speaker 3: When I mean just period, I'm just gonna say, it

1064
00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:52,000
Speaker 3: doesn't matter if you're a first rounder or if you're

1065
00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:54,800
Speaker 3: an undrafted free agent. It's difficult to be a competent

1066
00:54:54,840 --> 00:54:58,359
Speaker 3: football player in the NFL. So he's already overshined every

1067
00:54:58,400 --> 00:54:59,520
Speaker 3: expectation for him.

1068
00:55:00,120 --> 00:55:02,239
Speaker 2: Now he is being held.

1069
00:55:02,080 --> 00:55:06,560
Speaker 3: By some to an unfair level of expectation, and unfortunately

1070
00:55:06,760 --> 00:55:12,360
Speaker 3: for diluted Niners fans out there, they're going to take

1071
00:55:12,600 --> 00:55:15,680
Speaker 3: Brock Purdy and they're gonna protect them like a mother

1072
00:55:15,800 --> 00:55:19,200
Speaker 3: hen or like uh like mom, hen like mom a pig.

1073
00:55:19,600 --> 00:55:22,120
Speaker 2: They're going to you know, I mean, like it really does.

1074
00:55:22,160 --> 00:55:25,200
Speaker 3: It feels like a Barnyard fable out there because they're

1075
00:55:25,200 --> 00:55:28,440
Speaker 3: not letting anybody talk about their Brocky and it's like, well, listen,

1076
00:55:28,640 --> 00:55:31,080
Speaker 3: Brock's a big boy. He's playing big boy sports now

1077
00:55:31,280 --> 00:55:32,879
Speaker 3: and he's been doing it on one of the best

1078
00:55:32,880 --> 00:55:33,880
Speaker 3: teams in the NFL.

1079
00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:35,960
Speaker 2: So let's uh, let's let's.

1080
00:55:35,840 --> 00:55:38,880
Speaker 3: Allow this to percolate a little bit and not jump

1081
00:55:38,920 --> 00:55:40,239
Speaker 3: to so many conclusions.

1082
00:55:40,280 --> 00:55:41,200
Speaker 2: But it is.

1083
00:55:41,400 --> 00:55:43,760
Speaker 3: I had no idea he was such a polarizing character

1084
00:55:43,840 --> 00:55:44,920
Speaker 3: until Monday morning.

1085
00:55:45,160 --> 00:55:46,880
Speaker 4: We're getting a ton of tweets, all right, Like I'm

1086
00:55:46,920 --> 00:55:49,560
Speaker 4: getting some tweets right now, see him showing up in

1087
00:55:49,680 --> 00:55:52,279
Speaker 4: your uh and you're mention too, Hey, listen, if you

1088
00:55:52,320 --> 00:55:53,919
Speaker 4: guys tweet us, we might read it on the air.

1089
00:55:53,960 --> 00:55:56,480
Speaker 4: So I'll read this one and you guys can respond.

1090
00:55:56,560 --> 00:55:58,640
Speaker 4: And this is a good This is a very valid question.

1091
00:55:59,719 --> 00:56:01,640
Speaker 4: He's from Happy for Life on Twitter. Thank you for

1092
00:56:01,640 --> 00:56:02,000
Speaker 4: the question.

1093
00:56:02,040 --> 00:56:02,200
Speaker 2: Pal.

1094
00:56:02,320 --> 00:56:04,640
Speaker 4: We're not claiming Purties the best quarterback in the league.

1095
00:56:04,680 --> 00:56:07,680
Speaker 4: We're pushing back on people who discredit his success by

1096
00:56:07,680 --> 00:56:10,440
Speaker 4: saying it's not because of him best QB stats in

1097
00:56:10,440 --> 00:56:12,439
Speaker 4: the NFL two straight championship games start Curry, what else.

1098
00:56:12,360 --> 00:56:13,920
Speaker 2: Gonna do it?

1099
00:56:13,920 --> 00:56:16,840
Speaker 4: It's not him. It's a team sport. The Niners have

1100
00:56:16,880 --> 00:56:18,880
Speaker 4: the best team in the NFL, and he is the

1101
00:56:18,880 --> 00:56:22,120
Speaker 4: perfect fit at quarterback. It is the one situation I

1102
00:56:22,160 --> 00:56:26,440
Speaker 4: think in the NFL where the quarterback doesn't deserve all

1103
00:56:26,560 --> 00:56:29,600
Speaker 4: of the credit or the blame when his team loses

1104
00:56:29,640 --> 00:56:32,080
Speaker 4: and wins. I think it's the one situation in the

1105
00:56:32,160 --> 00:56:34,080
Speaker 4: NFL at a high level, right, Like the Niners are

1106
00:56:34,120 --> 00:56:36,200
Speaker 4: winning at a high level. None of the other teams

1107
00:56:36,239 --> 00:56:37,680
Speaker 4: in the final four. You can say this.

1108
00:56:37,600 --> 00:56:39,000
Speaker 2: About Lamar Jackson.

1109
00:56:39,200 --> 00:56:40,759
Speaker 4: I guess maybe you could talk a little bit about

1110
00:56:40,760 --> 00:56:43,560
Speaker 4: it with the Lions, but they're more of a team too.

1111
00:56:43,840 --> 00:56:46,479
Speaker 4: But Lamar Jackson, Patrick Mahomes like, let's be honest, guys,

1112
00:56:46,480 --> 00:56:49,320
Speaker 4: those teams are there because their quarterbacks are great and

1113
00:56:48,960 --> 00:56:52,600
Speaker 4: they've got good defenses. With the Niners, their offense is

1114
00:56:52,680 --> 00:56:56,400
Speaker 4: like a team offense, Like all eleven guys have to

1115
00:56:56,520 --> 00:56:59,600
Speaker 4: be on the same page. And if all of those

1116
00:56:59,640 --> 00:57:03,120
Speaker 4: things are happening, Brock Purty's the perfect trigger man. But

1117
00:57:04,040 --> 00:57:06,640
Speaker 4: you could put another like if you put Lamar Jackson

1118
00:57:06,719 --> 00:57:09,480
Speaker 4: or Patrick Mahomes on the Niners, they would probably be

1119
00:57:09,520 --> 00:57:12,360
Speaker 4: in the same spot. They probably would be I'll get you.

1120
00:57:13,440 --> 00:57:16,800
Speaker 3: Brian answered this question if Brock Purdy was the starting

1121
00:57:16,880 --> 00:57:18,600
Speaker 3: quarterback for the Kansas.

1122
00:57:18,280 --> 00:57:21,600
Speaker 2: City Chiefs, the Chiefs being the AFC Championship, No, they

1123
00:57:21,600 --> 00:57:23,680
Speaker 2: would not. That's the thing is. I don't know what

1124
00:57:23,800 --> 00:57:27,320
Speaker 2: it is about the Purty fan club where they have

1125
00:57:27,800 --> 00:57:31,720
Speaker 2: so much in their favor to make good arguments on

1126
00:57:31,760 --> 00:57:34,760
Speaker 2: the behalf of their boy Purty, they would they always

1127
00:57:35,280 --> 00:57:39,680
Speaker 2: manage to royally step in it. I don't know how

1128
00:57:39,720 --> 00:57:42,960
Speaker 2: they managed to do that every time. They don't recognize

1129
00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:45,760
Speaker 2: that the success is because of Brock Purty. Do you

1130
00:57:45,840 --> 00:57:51,040
Speaker 2: really think that the Panthers, that the Patriots, they'd be

1131
00:57:51,200 --> 00:57:53,880
Speaker 2: doing what the Niners are doing if Purdy were there?

1132
00:57:54,000 --> 00:57:55,480
Speaker 2: What are you talking about?

1133
00:57:55,720 --> 00:57:59,080
Speaker 4: The Panthers might be worse. Frankly, they actually might.

1134
00:58:00,280 --> 00:58:03,200
Speaker 2: It's possible. Hey from live betting, the player props betmgm

Speaker 2: We welcome in Seamus McGee, team lead of sports Trading

1163
00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:37,440
Speaker 2: at BEDMGM. Good morning, Seamus. We missed our Shamus fix

1164
00:59:38,280 --> 00:59:42,120
Speaker 2: last week, so I'm waiting to hear all of your

1165
00:59:42,200 --> 00:59:46,200
Speaker 2: Championship Sunday nuggets here. What's something that stands out most

1166
00:59:46,280 --> 00:59:48,720
Speaker 2: to you? I want to give you a blank canvas

1167
00:59:49,040 --> 00:59:52,280
Speaker 2: where the sharp money is. Any line move, anything that

1168
00:59:52,480 --> 00:59:54,080
Speaker 2: hits the shamous radar for you.

1169
00:59:55,880 --> 00:59:59,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean it's not gonna ton of sharp money

1170
00:59:59,120 --> 01:00:02,520
Speaker 6: come in so Are this week. I mean we've really

1171
01:00:02,560 --> 01:00:05,320
Speaker 6: set three to three and a half on that Chiefs

1172
01:00:06,520 --> 01:00:10,160
Speaker 6: Ravens game. And then between seven seven and a half

1173
01:00:10,200 --> 01:00:14,720
Speaker 6: on this on this Niners Lions game, and it's a

1174
01:00:14,720 --> 01:00:17,400
Speaker 6: lot of money coming in on the Ravens minus three,

1175
01:00:17,560 --> 01:00:20,560
Speaker 6: people buying a half point, and we're, I mean, we're

1176
01:00:20,560 --> 01:00:24,200
Speaker 6: gonna need the Niners in the game, but it's spot

1177
01:00:24,280 --> 01:00:27,960
Speaker 6: for us because the Niners are worst liability for the

1178
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:30,560
Speaker 6: Super Bowl. But again, if you think the Lions win

1179
01:00:30,760 --> 01:00:33,880
Speaker 6: this game, I could easily see the Lions fans just

1180
01:00:33,960 --> 01:00:37,360
Speaker 6: jumping all over them if they get there. So it's

1181
01:00:37,960 --> 01:00:39,880
Speaker 6: we're we're ruining for an asc team to win the

1182
01:00:39,880 --> 01:00:42,760
Speaker 6: Super Bowl long term. But I think for the for

1183
01:00:42,800 --> 01:00:45,960
Speaker 6: the most part, Lions Niners covering seven and a half

1184
01:00:46,280 --> 01:00:48,320
Speaker 6: and Chiefs plus three and a half are best results

1185
01:00:48,400 --> 01:00:48,760
Speaker 6: right now.

1186
01:00:49,440 --> 01:00:52,440
Speaker 4: Interesting because and you know, if you look at some

1187
01:00:52,560 --> 01:00:55,080
Speaker 4: of the broader markets, you know, we saw four and

1188
01:00:55,120 --> 01:00:57,800
Speaker 4: a half even pop up with the Ravens yesterday, and

1189
01:00:57,840 --> 01:01:00,560
Speaker 4: now that's been bought back down to four, So it

1190
01:01:00,600 --> 01:01:03,560
Speaker 4: does look like four is kind of the stopping point here, Seamus,

1191
01:01:03,560 --> 01:01:05,800
Speaker 4: do you expect you know, MGM, you guys have been

1192
01:01:05,800 --> 01:01:08,560
Speaker 4: one of the few holdovers at three and a half.

1193
01:01:08,600 --> 01:01:12,320
Speaker 4: Do you think tomorrow this line closes for or are

1194
01:01:12,360 --> 01:01:15,320
Speaker 4: you pretty confident that you know, the Chief's money significant

1195
01:01:15,360 --> 01:01:16,680
Speaker 4: enough for you to stay three and a half.

1196
01:01:17,880 --> 01:01:21,320
Speaker 6: We haven't seen anything, you know, yet to make us

1197
01:01:21,400 --> 01:01:24,720
Speaker 6: go to four. Right now, it's still like we're again,

1198
01:01:25,120 --> 01:01:29,000
Speaker 6: we're gonna need you know, Chiefs plus three and a half? Sure,

1199
01:01:29,040 --> 01:01:32,160
Speaker 6: but nothing sharp enough yet from our screens as still

1200
01:01:32,160 --> 01:01:33,960
Speaker 6: as we need to move to four yet what a

1201
01:01:34,040 --> 01:01:37,440
Speaker 6: shockmans we moved to four? Absolutely not, but yeah, we'll

1202
01:01:37,440 --> 01:01:38,680
Speaker 6: see come tomorrow.

1203
01:01:39,000 --> 01:01:39,920
Speaker 2: Hey Seamus.

1204
01:01:39,920 --> 01:01:43,520
Speaker 3: We're discussing home field advantage, Like, for example, if this

1205
01:01:43,720 --> 01:01:47,520
Speaker 3: Ravens game was going to be played at Arrowhead and

1206
01:01:47,600 --> 01:01:50,560
Speaker 3: the Chiefs were hosting them, how different this spread would be?

1207
01:01:50,960 --> 01:01:53,640
Speaker 2: You know, considering Mahome's success.

1208
01:01:53,240 --> 01:01:56,720
Speaker 3: In the postseason and what the Chiefs have been historically

1209
01:01:56,760 --> 01:01:59,920
Speaker 3: with him as their starting quarterback, are there are there

1210
01:02:00,080 --> 01:02:03,439
Speaker 3: home field advantages in the postseason that you will weigh

1211
01:02:03,520 --> 01:02:06,880
Speaker 3: out differently as a result of I don't know the

1212
01:02:07,000 --> 01:02:10,160
Speaker 3: volume of the crowd, the decibel level, how well the

1213
01:02:10,240 --> 01:02:12,560
Speaker 3: team plays at home, or is it pretty much standard

1214
01:02:12,560 --> 01:02:13,520
Speaker 3: one and a half points.

1215
01:02:15,200 --> 01:02:18,400
Speaker 6: I am of the opinion that not all home advance

1216
01:02:18,560 --> 01:02:22,720
Speaker 6: all home field advantages created equal, Like I think going

1217
01:02:22,720 --> 01:02:25,920
Speaker 6: to Arrowhead is a much bigger home field advantage than

1218
01:02:26,640 --> 01:02:29,400
Speaker 6: the Rams hosting in LA depending on where the team,

1219
01:02:29,440 --> 01:02:31,080
Speaker 6: because you've got a factor in travel, of course, But

1220
01:02:31,160 --> 01:02:33,400
Speaker 6: like if you remember when the Rams were hosting the

1221
01:02:33,480 --> 01:02:36,919
Speaker 6: Niners in the Nasty Championship a couple of years back,

1222
01:02:37,360 --> 01:02:39,440
Speaker 6: you can hardly can call that a home field advantage.

1223
01:02:39,480 --> 01:02:42,560
Speaker 6: It was practically not his home game. But I mean

1224
01:02:43,320 --> 01:02:47,160
Speaker 6: some of these teams like Green Bay absolute home field advantage.

1225
01:02:48,120 --> 01:02:50,080
Speaker 6: But you know, some of these Dome teams, or you know,

1226
01:02:50,760 --> 01:02:53,400
Speaker 6: the or Florida teams, or maybe some other fans will

1227
01:02:53,440 --> 01:02:56,760
Speaker 6: come down. I think other teams have much larger home

1228
01:02:56,760 --> 01:02:57,520
Speaker 6: field advantages.

1229
01:02:58,600 --> 01:03:01,520
Speaker 2: Is that a surprise to you at all that you're

1230
01:03:01,600 --> 01:03:05,080
Speaker 2: saying we're gonna need the Niners to cover seven or

1231
01:03:05,120 --> 01:03:08,160
Speaker 2: seven and a half? Does that stand out to you?

1232
01:03:08,320 --> 01:03:10,800
Speaker 2: Is a bit odd in this spot? Relatively speaking?

1233
01:03:11,960 --> 01:03:14,360
Speaker 6: I say yes, But this playoffs has been a little

1234
01:03:14,400 --> 01:03:17,200
Speaker 6: weird where you get these public dogs where everyone just

1235
01:03:17,280 --> 01:03:19,640
Speaker 6: falls in love with everyone was on the Texans last week,

1236
01:03:19,680 --> 01:03:23,880
Speaker 6: for example. So it doesn't really shock me, especially with

1237
01:03:23,920 --> 01:03:28,520
Speaker 6: the way we get in Michigan and meeting anyone who

1238
01:03:28,560 --> 01:03:31,440
Speaker 6: plays the Lion, So it doesn't shock me all that much.

1239
01:03:32,080 --> 01:03:32,520
Speaker 2: Is it weird?

1240
01:03:32,520 --> 01:03:35,120
Speaker 4: Shame as I was looking at some you know, advanced

1241
01:03:35,160 --> 01:03:38,320
Speaker 4: lines for the Super Bowl, and I was surprised. I

1242
01:03:38,320 --> 01:03:40,400
Speaker 4: guess maybe not surprised when I dug into a little

1243
01:03:40,400 --> 01:03:43,240
Speaker 4: bit more, but it was eye opening to me that

1244
01:03:43,560 --> 01:03:46,520
Speaker 4: the Niners would still be a I would call it

1245
01:03:46,560 --> 01:03:49,040
Speaker 4: maybe a one or a two point favorite in the

1246
01:03:49,080 --> 01:03:51,200
Speaker 4: Super Bowl against the Ravens. And the reason why I

1247
01:03:51,280 --> 01:03:53,760
Speaker 4: was surprised by that is because I think since that

1248
01:03:53,800 --> 01:03:57,280
Speaker 4: game where the Ravens were about a touchdown dog, we've

1249
01:03:57,280 --> 01:03:59,400
Speaker 4: seen a lot of improvement I think with Baltimore, and

1250
01:03:59,400 --> 01:04:01,240
Speaker 4: I would say maybe a little decrease with the Niners.

1251
01:04:01,240 --> 01:04:02,520
Speaker 2: Obviously there would be a neutral.

1252
01:04:02,240 --> 01:04:05,080
Speaker 4: Site game, but maybe it's not a neutral site game

1253
01:04:05,160 --> 01:04:07,440
Speaker 4: if the Niners play in Vegas, right, Jamus, would you

1254
01:04:07,520 --> 01:04:10,400
Speaker 4: give and I'm hearing some pros here in town maybe

1255
01:04:10,480 --> 01:04:12,080
Speaker 4: a half a point or even a full point to

1256
01:04:12,080 --> 01:04:14,400
Speaker 4: the Niners for home field in the Super Bowl considering

1257
01:04:14,440 --> 01:04:15,080
Speaker 4: it's in Vegas.

1258
01:04:16,080 --> 01:04:17,880
Speaker 6: That's not a bad shout at all. I mean, you

1259
01:04:17,880 --> 01:04:20,480
Speaker 6: should see the tickets we have on the Niners in

1260
01:04:20,560 --> 01:04:25,439
Speaker 6: Vegas to win the Super Bowl. It's definitely a thing

1261
01:04:25,920 --> 01:04:29,600
Speaker 6: I would agree with because personally, I would I would

1262
01:04:29,640 --> 01:04:31,320
Speaker 6: have this line up at a pick them if they

1263
01:04:31,400 --> 01:04:33,800
Speaker 6: met neutral field. But I think it's a really good point.

1264
01:04:33,800 --> 01:04:35,360
Speaker 6: I think it's gonna be a ton of Niners fans

1265
01:04:35,360 --> 01:04:38,400
Speaker 6: mare if it is Niners Ravens or even Niners Chiefs.

1266
01:04:38,520 --> 01:04:43,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, hey, Seamus, when when you think about AFC NFC

1267
01:04:43,440 --> 01:04:47,560
Speaker 3: Championship game, you don't necessarily think about the props the

1268
01:04:47,600 --> 01:04:50,920
Speaker 3: same way you would for a Super Bowl. Like, obviously

1269
01:04:50,920 --> 01:04:53,560
Speaker 3: there's a two week respite, so I think, you know,

1270
01:04:53,720 --> 01:04:56,000
Speaker 3: odds makers and books make like you could have a

1271
01:04:56,040 --> 01:04:57,640
Speaker 3: lot more fun developing.

1272
01:04:57,800 --> 01:04:59,080
Speaker 2: But are there fun.

1273
01:04:59,600 --> 01:05:02,200
Speaker 3: Champion chip game props that may or may not be

1274
01:05:02,320 --> 01:05:05,680
Speaker 3: available since there's only two games playing the NFL that

1275
01:05:05,760 --> 01:05:08,600
Speaker 3: people can bet on this week as opposed to other

1276
01:05:08,640 --> 01:05:10,640
Speaker 3: weeks in the postseason or the regular season.

1277
01:05:11,720 --> 01:05:13,680

01:05:23,560 --> 01:05:25,400
Speaker 6: the question we get to the super Bowl, people really

1289
01:05:40,720 --> 01:05:43,800
Speaker 2: Okay, Seamus, we need to know the Shamus special for

1290
01:05:43,840 --> 01:05:46,480
Speaker 2: the weekend you go in football or college hoops on us.

1291
01:05:47,160 --> 01:05:49,440
Speaker 6: I think we already know the answer to that, Jared.

1292
01:05:52,600 --> 01:05:57,040
Speaker 6: The Kansas Jayhawks are pretty overrated basketball team. Oh okay,

1293
01:05:57,080 --> 01:05:59,640
Speaker 6: and I think guy with State's going to cover four

1294
01:05:59,680 --> 01:06:00,000
Speaker 6: and a half.

1295
01:06:00,480 --> 01:06:06,840
Speaker 2: Oh, I love it. Yeah, I can see it right.

1296
01:06:06,880 --> 01:06:10,160
Speaker 2: They forced a ton of turnovers that line.

1297
01:06:10,240 --> 01:06:12,400
Speaker 6: You wouldn't think the Jams to be getting four and

1298
01:06:12,440 --> 01:06:15,520
Speaker 6: a half yeah, in any game, So I think the

1299
01:06:15,520 --> 01:06:16,640
Speaker 6: line speaks for itself.

1300
01:06:16,960 --> 01:06:19,840

Speaker 3: not finish this game.

1378
01:10:40,040 --> 01:10:41,840
Speaker 2: He went into the blue ten on the sideline. He

1379
01:10:41,920 --> 01:10:43,760
Speaker 2: was in the very next series, of course.

1380
01:10:43,800 --> 01:10:45,960
Speaker 3: And then in the second half they rolled up on

1381
01:10:46,479 --> 01:10:50,240
Speaker 3: his knee and it looked like an MCL but he

1382
01:10:50,360 --> 01:10:52,280
Speaker 3: was able to get to his feet and sort of

1383
01:10:52,320 --> 01:10:54,040
Speaker 3: test it out on the field and he stayed on

1384
01:10:54,080 --> 01:10:54,519
Speaker 3: the field.

1385
01:10:54,760 --> 01:10:57,960
Speaker 2: So that's one tough dude. And as a result of.

1386
01:10:57,920 --> 01:11:01,640
Speaker 3: The win, I believe there was huge contributions made to

1387
01:11:01,760 --> 01:11:05,120
Speaker 3: his to his charity, which you know that that was

1388
01:11:05,160 --> 01:11:08,160
Speaker 3: really a cool side storyline to the whole thing. But yeah,

1389
01:11:08,200 --> 01:11:10,880
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm with Frank. If you got an opportunity

1390
01:11:10,880 --> 01:11:13,920
Speaker 3: to play an NFC championship game. I mean, you could

1391
01:11:13,960 --> 01:11:16,200
Speaker 3: go ahead and saw my leg off before I'm gonna

1392
01:11:16,240 --> 01:11:16,880
Speaker 3: be on the bench.

1393
01:11:17,000 --> 01:11:18,880
Speaker 2: That's that's awesome though, that he's doing it.

1394
01:11:19,200 --> 01:11:22,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's gonna play. How well he plays, how effective

1395
01:11:22,640 --> 01:11:26,240
Speaker 4: he'll be that that's a tough question to ask. The

1396
01:11:26,280 --> 01:11:30,120
Speaker 4: big issue is the guy to his left, Jonah Jackson,

1397
01:11:30,160 --> 01:11:34,920
Speaker 4: the left guard is also out and his replacement, Coyote Owosika.

1398
01:11:35,760 --> 01:11:38,240
Speaker 4: I have him in my notes as a quote liability

1399
01:11:38,320 --> 01:11:40,639
Speaker 4: based off the numbers that I was looking at. That's

1400
01:11:40,680 --> 01:11:44,160
Speaker 4: literally the only line I have for him. And the

1401
01:11:44,240 --> 01:11:46,920
Speaker 4: problem here is, I like the Lions have to run

1402
01:11:46,960 --> 01:11:49,880
Speaker 4: the ball. The only reason the Packers were really in

1403
01:11:49,920 --> 01:11:52,400
Speaker 4: that game last week. They got a couple of breaks,

1404
01:11:52,560 --> 01:11:55,519
Speaker 4: They recovered a crazy fumble, Jordan Love made a couple

1405
01:11:55,600 --> 01:11:59,360
Speaker 4: of really nice throws, especially early in the game. There

1406
01:11:59,439 --> 01:12:02,840
Speaker 4: was a couple of slippy, a little slipper slippy moments there.

1407
01:12:02,880 --> 01:12:05,519
Speaker 4: The Niners had the wrong cleats on the big forty

1408
01:12:05,560 --> 01:12:08,360
Speaker 4: yard play to Dobbs where war just like fell down

1409
01:12:08,600 --> 01:12:11,040
Speaker 4: and Aaron Jones ripped off some really nice runs like

1410
01:12:11,160 --> 01:12:13,920
Speaker 4: that was kind of the heartbeat. So if the Lions

1411
01:12:13,920 --> 01:12:16,160
Speaker 4: offensive lines manged up and they can't get the running

1412
01:12:16,160 --> 01:12:18,680
Speaker 4: game going. Who I don't know what the path is

1413
01:12:18,720 --> 01:12:19,400
Speaker 4: in this one, guys.

1414
01:12:19,720 --> 01:12:22,000
Speaker 2: Well, and that's the other part is you got to

1415
01:12:22,040 --> 01:12:24,680
Speaker 2: run the ball effectively. That's obvious, like what Jared is

1416
01:12:24,680 --> 01:12:29,000
Speaker 2: saying right there. But also we know Goff struggles with pressure. Yeah,

1417
01:12:29,040 --> 01:12:32,519
Speaker 2: so if you're able to get that interior pass rush

1418
01:12:32,560 --> 01:12:35,559
Speaker 2: cranked up for the forty nine ers, that could be

1419
01:12:35,600 --> 01:12:38,960
Speaker 2: bad too. That could be very bad for Detroit as well.

1420
01:12:39,040 --> 01:12:43,080
Speaker 2: So yeah, Frank Rag now he's gonna go. It'll probably

1421
01:12:43,080 --> 01:12:46,479
Speaker 2: play well, right, But no, Jonah Jackson, as Jared pointed out,

1422
01:12:46,640 --> 01:12:49,040
Speaker 2: that's a big deal. Like we'll get to Joe Tooney

1423
01:12:49,080 --> 01:12:52,400
Speaker 2: being out how about that language over here Orren Berger?

1424
01:12:52,479 --> 01:12:55,599
Speaker 2: You know, yeah, we got guards out here. What it means. Well,

1425
01:12:55,600 --> 01:12:58,519
Speaker 2: we'll get to that Chiefs matchup against the Ravens at

1426
01:12:58,520 --> 01:13:00,639
Speaker 2: the top of the hour. We've got rich Sjoan Berger,

1447
01:14:12,479 --> 01:14:13,120
Speaker 2: What do you like?

1448
01:14:13,800 --> 01:14:16,680
Speaker 4: Well, guys, knowledge is power. In this case, we're going

1449
01:14:16,760 --> 01:14:20,040
Speaker 4: to talk about power run concepts for the Baltimore Ravens

1450
01:14:20,040 --> 01:14:22,360
Speaker 4: and why I think that is the key to success

1451
01:14:22,400 --> 01:14:24,800
Speaker 4: against the Kansas City Chiefs. Why, Well, the Ravens run

1452
01:14:24,920 --> 01:14:27,679
Speaker 4: more power run concepts than any other team or most

1453
01:14:27,680 --> 01:14:29,840
Speaker 4: teams in the NFL. The Chiefs aren't very good at

1454
01:14:29,880 --> 01:14:32,320
Speaker 4: stopping it, one of the worst that success rates allowed.

1455
01:14:32,360 --> 01:14:34,759
Speaker 4: So how do we attack that in the props market? Well,

1456
01:14:35,120 --> 01:14:38,760
Speaker 4: rushing attempts for who who else? Lamar Jackson over ten

1457
01:14:38,800 --> 01:14:41,720
Speaker 4: and a half or Gus Edwards over ten and a half.

1458
01:14:41,800 --> 01:14:44,439
Speaker 4: Both guys kind of line right around the same. And again,

1459
01:14:44,479 --> 01:14:46,559
Speaker 4: I think if you just look at gamescript, we think

1460
01:14:46,560 --> 01:14:48,360
Speaker 4: the Ravens are going to have the lead. We think

1461
01:14:48,400 --> 01:14:50,040
Speaker 4: the running game is going to be a big factor.

1462
01:14:50,120 --> 01:14:52,040
Speaker 4: We think weather could be a factor as well. All

1463
01:14:52,080 --> 01:14:53,960
Speaker 4: of that leads to running it. And oh, by the way,

1464
01:14:54,040 --> 01:14:57,720
Speaker 4: the success rates say the Ravens will have success in

1465
01:14:57,760 --> 01:15:01,320
Speaker 4: this scheme running the ball against the Chiefs defense over

1466
01:15:01,439 --> 01:15:04,000
Speaker 4: ten and a half rushing attempts for both or and

1467
01:15:04,240 --> 01:15:06,880
Speaker 4: or pick your poison, Lamar Jackson and go seven.

1468
01:15:07,360 --> 01:15:11,799
Speaker 3: All right, I like where you're at with the rushing

1469
01:15:11,880 --> 01:15:15,320
Speaker 3: stats with the Ravens against that Chiefs rush defense. So

1470
01:15:15,360 --> 01:15:18,800
Speaker 3: I'm gonna take Lamar Jackson going over sixty five and

1471
01:15:18,880 --> 01:15:21,479
Speaker 3: a half rushing yards in this game. All it takes

1472
01:15:22,120 --> 01:15:26,719
Speaker 3: is one explosive play and he could get near or frankly,

1473
01:15:26,840 --> 01:15:30,920
Speaker 3: maybe even over the rushing total in one full swoop.

1474
01:15:31,000 --> 01:15:33,960
Speaker 3: So I look at Lamar Jackson going over that rushing

1475
01:15:34,000 --> 01:15:38,080
Speaker 3: total and then Brock Purdy on the other side, two quarterbacks,

1476
01:15:38,080 --> 01:15:39,040
Speaker 3: two different.

1477
01:15:38,720 --> 01:15:41,960
Speaker 2: Ways that you can win on props. I have over

1478
01:15:42,080 --> 01:15:42,720
Speaker 2: two hundred and.

1479
01:15:42,760 --> 01:15:45,639
Speaker 3: Eighty and a half passing yards against a very weak

1480
01:15:46,080 --> 01:15:50,479
Speaker 3: Detroit Lions secondary when you have four receivers on the field,

1481
01:15:50,920 --> 01:15:53,479
Speaker 3: and really you don't even need four receivers. You could

1482
01:15:53,520 --> 01:15:57,000
Speaker 3: have three receivers and your pass catching tight end George Kittle,

1483
01:15:57,439 --> 01:16:00,240
Speaker 3: and it puts the Lions in a bind. Are you

1484
01:16:00,320 --> 01:16:02,840
Speaker 3: gonna go big people and try to protect against the run.

1485
01:16:03,280 --> 01:16:05,200
Speaker 3: It doesn't feel like you can. You're gonna have to

1486
01:16:05,240 --> 01:16:08,599
Speaker 3: add a defensive back to the equation, and I don't

1487
01:16:08,600 --> 01:16:10,439
Speaker 3: think they're gonna be able to cover everybody.

1488
01:16:10,479 --> 01:16:12,320
Speaker 2: So I got Purty going over the two eighty and

1489
01:16:12,360 --> 01:16:16,400
Speaker 2: a half. Yeah, it's interesting. Rich Circling back to Lamar,

1490
01:16:17,240 --> 01:16:20,000
Speaker 2: I don't know how you guys feel, but sometimes I

1491
01:16:20,120 --> 01:16:24,680
Speaker 2: hate being reactionary from like what happened last week, But

1492
01:16:24,920 --> 01:16:27,479
Speaker 2: you have to guard against that sometimes when the matchup

1493
01:16:27,640 --> 01:16:29,920
Speaker 2: favors you. Yeah, you know what I mean. Where the

1494
01:16:30,000 --> 01:16:33,839
Speaker 2: Chiefs haven't done a very good job limiting rushing quarterbacks.

1495
01:16:33,840 --> 01:16:36,479
Speaker 2: They didn't do a great job against Josh Allen last week.

1496
01:16:37,040 --> 01:16:40,439
Speaker 2: And if you're playing man coverage and your eyes aren't

1497
01:16:40,479 --> 01:16:44,800
Speaker 2: on Lamar, you know, I can see him getting the

1498
01:16:44,840 --> 01:16:47,080
Speaker 2: over sixty four and a half again, right, Like, I

1499
01:16:47,080 --> 01:16:48,720
Speaker 2: don't know how you guys feel about that, because he

1500
01:16:48,920 --> 01:16:51,519
Speaker 2: rushed for a hundred last week. I love it, and

1501
01:16:51,600 --> 01:16:55,080
Speaker 2: my default is like, ah, you know, I don't. Sometimes

1502
01:16:55,080 --> 01:16:56,720
Speaker 2: I don't want to run it back, but if the

1503
01:16:56,760 --> 01:16:59,760
Speaker 2: matchup favors you, run it back because.

1504
01:16:59,479 --> 01:17:03,160
Speaker 4: There's so square, it's sharp the opposite, right you said

1505
01:17:03,240 --> 01:17:03,679
Speaker 4: last time?

1506
01:17:03,760 --> 01:17:06,479
Speaker 2: Right, that's right? Yeah, yeah, sometimes it does. Words like that.

1507
01:17:07,680 --> 01:17:11,280
Speaker 2: I'm going with Brandon Ayyuk. I just think seventy six

1508
01:17:11,320 --> 01:17:14,120
Speaker 2: and a half receiving yards. It's a high number, but

1509
01:17:14,200 --> 01:17:16,320
Speaker 2: I think with good reason, I'm gonna take the over

1510
01:17:16,400 --> 01:17:19,559
Speaker 2: on that one. He's matched up on Cameron Sutton, which

1511
01:17:19,600 --> 01:17:22,120
Speaker 2: you will be throughout a good portion of the game.

1512
01:17:22,479 --> 01:17:26,800
Speaker 2: That's advantage Brandon Ayyuk. All day, Sutton has head a

1513
01:17:26,840 --> 01:17:31,280
Speaker 2: lot of struggles and you're talking about potentially one default

1514
01:17:31,320 --> 01:17:34,360
Speaker 2: and we're more than halfway home and I could easily

1515
01:17:34,360 --> 01:17:37,400
Speaker 2: see that happening. So I think Brandon Ayyuk is the

1516
01:17:37,439 --> 01:17:40,519
Speaker 2: guy to target here, and you know, all these can

1517
01:17:40,560 --> 01:17:44,479
Speaker 2: go wrong. You could target deebo Is a little healthier,

1518
01:17:44,720 --> 01:17:47,479
Speaker 2: Christian McCaffrey out of the backfield, or George Kittle has

1519
01:17:47,520 --> 01:17:50,840
Speaker 2: a day like this could backfire where Ayuk still has

1520
01:17:50,880 --> 01:17:53,400
Speaker 2: a day and ends up with like seventy five yards

1521
01:17:53,960 --> 01:17:56,639
Speaker 2: and a touchdown and it's like, man, what a game? Yeah,

1522
01:17:56,680 --> 01:18:00,720
Speaker 2: you went under. But I do think that he is

1523
01:18:00,800 --> 01:18:04,720
Speaker 2: going to surpass that. It's just that secondary is two

1524
01:18:04,760 --> 01:18:06,679
Speaker 2: week I think for him not too.

1525
01:18:07,040 --> 01:18:10,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, how about this one based off of that handicap

1526
01:18:10,160 --> 01:18:13,759
Speaker 4: and this is a special conference championship special Brandon Ayuk's

1527
01:18:13,800 --> 01:18:16,320
Speaker 4: actually the favorite to have the most receiving yards of

1528
01:18:16,400 --> 01:18:19,880
Speaker 4: any player this weekend plus two fifty over at bet MGM.

1529
01:18:20,200 --> 01:18:22,880
Speaker 4: So that kind of leads you down that road, Brian, Like,

1530
01:18:23,040 --> 01:18:25,639
Speaker 4: I think it's gonna be somebody on this Niners offense

1531
01:18:25,680 --> 01:18:27,320
Speaker 4: that's gonna have a big game, and if it is

1532
01:18:27,360 --> 01:18:29,799
Speaker 4: Brandon ay if the books think he's gonna lead the

1533
01:18:29,920 --> 01:18:32,840
Speaker 4: NFL or lead the whole group in receiving yards this week.

1534
01:18:32,880 --> 01:18:35,040
Speaker 2: That's pretty interesting right there. I might have to dabble

1535
01:18:35,200 --> 01:18:37,800
Speaker 2: there you go, all right? Coming up next, this team

1536
01:18:37,840 --> 01:18:42,880
Speaker 2: will have to play Goldilocks defense. Ah, yes, what is

1537
01:18:42,960 --> 01:18:47,439
Speaker 2: going on? Happy Championships Sunday Eve. As we get you

1538
01:18:47,520 --> 01:18:51,240
Speaker 2: all set for both matchups. Here, let's dive head first

1539
01:18:52,280 --> 01:18:57,479
Speaker 2: into this Chiefs Ravens AFC title game. I think that

1540
01:18:57,560 --> 01:19:00,200
Speaker 2: the Chiefs are gonna have to play what I call

1541
01:19:00,240 --> 01:19:06,960
Speaker 2: Goldilocks defense. Okay, where if you're rushing Lamar Jackson, Okay,

1542
01:19:07,439 --> 01:19:10,759
Speaker 2: you can't run past him, or you're gonna create rushing

1543
01:19:10,840 --> 01:19:12,880
Speaker 2: lanes for him to step up and just dice you

1544
01:19:12,960 --> 01:19:17,080
Speaker 2: up that way. And then also, if you're rushing too shallow,

1545
01:19:18,240 --> 01:19:22,320
Speaker 2: you're gonna create outside rushing lanes for Lamar. So it

1546
01:19:22,360 --> 01:19:26,080
Speaker 2: can't be too shallow, it can't be overly aggressive. It's

1547
01:19:26,080 --> 01:19:29,360
Speaker 2: got to be just right against Lamar because we know

1548
01:19:29,400 --> 01:19:31,920
Speaker 2: what a threat he is with his legs. I think

1549
01:19:31,960 --> 01:19:36,000
Speaker 2: that's gonna be a big, big deal for the Chiefs defensively. Yeah, yeah,

1550
01:19:36,040 --> 01:19:36,640
Speaker 2: you nailed it.

1551
01:19:37,360 --> 01:19:40,080
Speaker 3: The reality of the situation is the Chiefs are going

1552
01:19:40,160 --> 01:19:43,360
Speaker 3: to have to commit five players most of the time,

1553
01:19:43,439 --> 01:19:46,360
Speaker 3: if not more to the line of scrimmage, four rushers

1554
01:19:46,920 --> 01:19:50,600
Speaker 3: and a spy in order to try to contain him

1555
01:19:50,920 --> 01:19:52,880
Speaker 3: and do exactly what you said.

1556
01:19:52,920 --> 01:19:53,120
Speaker 2: You know.

1557
01:19:53,479 --> 01:19:57,120
Speaker 3: Many times it's described as bottling up a mobile quarterback

1558
01:19:57,200 --> 01:20:01,760
Speaker 3: by defensive line coaches defensive coordinators. The goal is to

1559
01:20:01,880 --> 01:20:05,200
Speaker 3: not allow him to do what he's most productive doing,

1560
01:20:05,400 --> 01:20:09,000
Speaker 3: which is improvising, extending plays or finding a run lane

1561
01:20:09,400 --> 01:20:12,400
Speaker 3: and hurting your defense that way, especially when you're in

1562
01:20:12,520 --> 01:20:14,000
Speaker 3: zone concepts and things.

1563
01:20:13,800 --> 01:20:16,200
Speaker 2: Of that nature, it can really screw you up.

1564
01:20:16,360 --> 01:20:20,879
Speaker 3: So it's it's tricky because the unfortunate reality for the Chiefs,

1565
01:20:21,000 --> 01:20:24,280
Speaker 3: as talented of a roster as they have, there's not

1566
01:20:24,360 --> 01:20:27,040
Speaker 3: a single player on that team who you could stick

1567
01:20:27,080 --> 01:20:30,960
Speaker 3: at scout team quarterback and replicate what Lamar Jackson does.

1568
01:20:31,479 --> 01:20:33,640
Speaker 3: And that's the problem for every team preparing for the

1569
01:20:33,680 --> 01:20:37,080
Speaker 3: Baltimore Ravens. How do you prepare for them, the most

1570
01:20:37,200 --> 01:20:41,439
Speaker 3: unique player in the NFL. The unfortunate answer is you can't.

1571
01:20:41,560 --> 01:20:45,160
Speaker 3: You just have to come up with a strategy, apply it,

1572
01:20:45,640 --> 01:20:49,360
Speaker 3: be disciplined in that strategy, and hope to god it works.

1573
01:20:50,280 --> 01:20:53,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's not a lot of good options, I think

1574
01:20:53,400 --> 01:20:55,599
Speaker 4: for the Chiefs defense here in this spot. Big one

1575
01:20:55,720 --> 01:20:57,320
Speaker 4: is the big injury to keep an eye on, as

1576
01:20:57,360 --> 01:21:00,840
Speaker 4: Willie Gay, the weak side linebacker who is one of

1577
01:21:00,880 --> 01:21:04,160
Speaker 4: their best run defenders, and he hurt his neck and

1578
01:21:04,280 --> 01:21:05,320
Speaker 4: was injured last.

1579
01:21:05,080 --> 01:21:06,519
Speaker 2: Week against the Bills.

1580
01:21:07,080 --> 01:21:09,360
Speaker 4: I think he'll play kind of like Rag now, like

1581
01:21:09,400 --> 01:21:11,080
Speaker 4: we don't know how like Deebo, we don't know how

1582
01:21:11,080 --> 01:21:15,040
Speaker 4: effective he'll be after that, you know, initial offensive line

1583
01:21:15,120 --> 01:21:18,280
Speaker 4: wave of hits right, We'll see how that next feeling

1584
01:21:18,320 --> 01:21:21,120
Speaker 4: after a quarter or two. But if he can't go

1585
01:21:21,240 --> 01:21:23,000
Speaker 4: or again less than one hundred percent, like it just

1586
01:21:23,040 --> 01:21:26,000
Speaker 4: it just makes things so much harder to have to

1587
01:21:26,040 --> 01:21:29,240
Speaker 4: put another guy in there to try to spy Lamar Jackson.

1588
01:21:29,280 --> 01:21:31,880
Speaker 4: Like I think based off of how the chief scheme

1589
01:21:32,000 --> 01:21:34,040
Speaker 4: was gonna play out, that Gay was gonna kind of

1590
01:21:34,040 --> 01:21:37,400
Speaker 4: spy Jackson for this game, and we'll see how that

1591
01:21:37,439 --> 01:21:40,920
Speaker 4: plays out. I trust Steve Spagnolo, He's as good as

1592
01:21:41,000 --> 01:21:43,719
Speaker 4: anyone at scheming this kind of stuff.

1593
01:21:44,040 --> 01:21:45,960
Speaker 2: But I don't know if he has the chess.

1594
01:21:45,680 --> 01:21:49,839
Speaker 4: Pieces in this matchup to really match up against the Ravens.

1595
01:21:49,920 --> 01:21:52,800
Speaker 4: And then you talk about just the attrition nature of

1596
01:21:52,800 --> 01:21:56,200
Speaker 4: this sport. The Ravens had an extra day and I

1597
01:21:56,240 --> 01:21:59,479
Speaker 4: know that doesn't sound like a lot but Rich an

1598
01:21:59,479 --> 01:22:01,960
Speaker 4: extra twe ty four hours to heal those battered and

1599
01:22:02,000 --> 01:22:04,920
Speaker 4: bruised bodies. I think it does matter. And then you

1600
01:22:05,040 --> 01:22:07,280
Speaker 4: throw in the fact that the Chiefs had to play

1601
01:22:07,320 --> 01:22:10,920
Speaker 4: the Dolphins two weeks ago in frigid conditions. They did

1602
01:22:10,960 --> 01:22:13,320
Speaker 4: get the rest in Week eighteen, which was huge, but

1603
01:22:13,439 --> 01:22:15,360
Speaker 4: down the stretch of the season it was a grind,

1604
01:22:15,560 --> 01:22:18,640
Speaker 4: I mean an absolute grind, whereas the Ravens had the

1605
01:22:18,720 --> 01:22:22,479
Speaker 4: buye they had a second half basically to coast last week.

1606
01:22:23,160 --> 01:22:25,920
Speaker 4: I think the physical nature of this game and how

1607
01:22:26,000 --> 01:22:29,640
Speaker 4: much the Ravens want to play bully ball, the status

1608
01:22:29,640 --> 01:22:33,400
Speaker 4: of each team's physical bodies, I think is a factor here.

1609
01:22:33,439 --> 01:22:36,760
Speaker 4: Whereas the Ravens are one week healthier I think, and

1610
01:22:36,800 --> 01:22:40,040
Speaker 4: definitely a day of rest and rejuvenation compared to the

1611
01:22:40,080 --> 01:22:43,160
Speaker 4: Chiefs coming off that really physical game against the Bills.

1612
01:22:43,439 --> 01:22:47,240
Speaker 2: Yeah. To me. Defensively, it's about the Chiefs rush defense.

1613
01:22:47,280 --> 01:22:50,559
Speaker 2: I'm not worried about their past defense. They were really

1614
01:22:50,600 --> 01:22:53,599
Speaker 2: strong against Josh Allen last week. Josh Allen with only

1615
01:22:53,680 --> 01:22:56,720
Speaker 2: a buck eighty six through the air, and it was

1616
01:22:56,840 --> 01:22:59,679
Speaker 2: just check down after checkdown after checkdown. There just wasn't

1617
01:22:59,720 --> 01:23:03,960
Speaker 2: a lot available and so we know Lamar is not,

1618
01:23:04,439 --> 01:23:08,280
Speaker 2: you know, upper echelon passing quarterback. I'm not telling you

1619
01:23:08,280 --> 01:23:10,600
Speaker 2: you can't pass at all, but he's not upper echelon.

1620
01:23:11,200 --> 01:23:15,000
Speaker 2: So if the Chiefs can hold the Ravens in check

1621
01:23:15,479 --> 01:23:18,920
Speaker 2: running the ball, they've got a real shot. But that's

1622
01:23:19,040 --> 01:23:22,000
Speaker 2: obviously easier said than done, building off everything that Jared

1623
01:23:22,120 --> 01:23:24,439
Speaker 2: just told you. How about this? Also, if you look

1624
01:23:24,479 --> 01:23:30,080
Speaker 2: at Mahomes, the opposing quarterback, his postseason numbers are ridiculous.

1625
01:23:30,760 --> 01:23:34,400
Speaker 2: This guy he's got Now, this is sixteen games, right,

1626
01:23:34,479 --> 01:23:38,800
Speaker 2: so almost a full NFL season. So he's thirteen and three.

1627
01:23:38,840 --> 01:23:43,200
Speaker 2: This is all playoff numbers. Forty five hundred plus passing yards,

1628
01:23:43,439 --> 01:23:47,360
Speaker 2: thirty eight touchdowns, seven interceptions. His passer rating in the

1629
01:23:47,360 --> 01:23:51,639
Speaker 2: playoffs alone one oh six point seven. These are all

1630
01:23:51,840 --> 01:23:55,280
Speaker 2: playoff games. These are the best of the best teams,

1631
01:23:55,760 --> 01:23:59,400
Speaker 2: and he's playing up just nasty numbers. He's got two

1632
01:23:59,439 --> 01:24:02,400
Speaker 2: touchdown pass is at a minimum in seven of the

1633
01:24:02,479 --> 01:24:06,920
Speaker 2: last eight playoff games he's played. So if anybody can

1634
01:24:07,080 --> 01:24:08,920
Speaker 2: do something then pull the rabbit out of the hat,

1635
01:24:08,960 --> 01:24:12,680
Speaker 2: it's Mahomes. The question is will his rush defense do

1636
01:24:12,920 --> 01:24:14,519
Speaker 2: enough in this one? Yeah?

1637
01:24:14,600 --> 01:24:16,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, And you know, and to tag along with what

1638
01:24:16,960 --> 01:24:21,479
Speaker 3: both of you were saying. One accurate Jared on the

1639
01:24:22,760 --> 01:24:26,320
Speaker 3: war that the Kansas City Chiefs were coming off of.

1640
01:24:26,920 --> 01:24:29,120
Speaker 3: It is difficult to recover from any game.

1641
01:24:29,320 --> 01:24:29,479
Speaker 2: You know.

1642
01:24:29,640 --> 01:24:33,160
Speaker 3: Ask any player how they feel on Monday compared to

1643
01:24:33,280 --> 01:24:36,360
Speaker 3: Tuesday after a Sunday game. Ask them how they feel

1644
01:24:36,400 --> 01:24:40,360
Speaker 3: on Wednesday compared to Tuesday. Ask them how they feel

1645
01:24:40,360 --> 01:24:42,559
Speaker 3: on Thursday. Like, the further out you get from the

1646
01:24:42,680 --> 01:24:47,200
Speaker 3: violence and the physicality of any game, the better you feel.

1647
01:24:47,520 --> 01:24:51,639
Speaker 3: And you know the fact that the Buffalo Bills are

1648
01:24:51,800 --> 01:24:54,599
Speaker 3: such a physical team and the Chiefs had to play

1649
01:24:54,640 --> 01:24:58,160
Speaker 3: two games compared to the Baltimore Ravens. Really, if you

1650
01:24:58,200 --> 01:25:00,720
Speaker 3: think about it, they've only played one game the postseason,

1651
01:25:00,800 --> 01:25:02,920
Speaker 3: and they didn't put a lot of their starters on

1652
01:25:02,960 --> 01:25:05,200
Speaker 3: the field the final game of the regular season because

1653
01:25:05,240 --> 01:25:10,400
Speaker 3: their fate was sealed. They are more rested now. Getting

1654
01:25:10,400 --> 01:25:14,439
Speaker 3: to what you said, be no, like you look at this,

1655
01:25:14,880 --> 01:25:19,760
Speaker 3: you look at this postseason record that Mahomes has. You

1656
01:25:19,920 --> 01:25:22,919
Speaker 3: put it up against Lamar Jackson's very different stories.

1657
01:25:23,479 --> 01:25:23,720
Speaker 2: You know.

1658
01:25:24,200 --> 01:25:27,360
Speaker 3: Mahomes, Yeah, he's got a big arm, and he's great

1659
01:25:27,360 --> 01:25:29,840
Speaker 3: improviser and he'll get you some yards with his legs

1660
01:25:29,840 --> 01:25:32,639
Speaker 3: when he absolutely needs to. He's a good enough athlete

1661
01:25:32,640 --> 01:25:35,040
Speaker 3: to do that. He could throw from every platform. He's

1662
01:25:35,080 --> 01:25:38,320
Speaker 3: intangibly a great quarterback, but he has that clutch gene

1663
01:25:38,680 --> 01:25:41,879
Speaker 3: that was so important to a quarterback like Tom Brady's

1664
01:25:41,880 --> 01:25:45,599
Speaker 3: success or Peyton manning success. Big moments call for big plays,

1665
01:25:45,840 --> 01:25:48,280
Speaker 3: and there's certain quarterbacks who can make those big plays

1666
01:25:48,280 --> 01:25:51,559
Speaker 3: and there's certain quarterbacks that can't. Lamar Jackson still to

1667
01:25:51,600 --> 01:25:54,280
Speaker 3: this point in his career, has not won an AFC

1668
01:25:54,360 --> 01:25:57,040
Speaker 3: Championship game, and there's a reason for that. It's because

1669
01:25:57,040 --> 01:25:59,480
Speaker 3: he's only been able to win one in the postseason

1670
01:26:00,160 --> 01:26:03,080
Speaker 3: so far, and that's only been one time. And guess

1671
01:26:03,080 --> 01:26:05,680
Speaker 3: what happened in that second game after winning in the

1672
01:26:05,680 --> 01:26:10,719
Speaker 3: wildcard round. He absolutely stunk the next outing. So we'll

1673
01:26:10,720 --> 01:26:13,799
Speaker 3: see what happens here. I'm not completely sold on Lamar

1674
01:26:13,920 --> 01:26:17,360
Speaker 3: Jackson the postseason performer yet. And this is a good

1675
01:26:17,439 --> 01:26:21,200
Speaker 3: Chiefs defense, and they may be coming off that physical

1676
01:26:21,280 --> 01:26:25,320
Speaker 3: matchup and they may have some defensive liabilities against the rush,

1677
01:26:25,640 --> 01:26:28,960
Speaker 3: but but again, big players make big plays in big moments,

1678
01:26:28,960 --> 01:26:31,680
Speaker 3: and Lamar Jackson that's been the one knock against him

1679
01:26:31,680 --> 01:26:32,439
Speaker 3: his whole career.

1680
01:26:33,280 --> 01:26:36,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree, I think it's hard to you know,

1681
01:26:36,840 --> 01:26:38,800
Speaker 4: look at the two quarterbacks and put them on the

1682
01:26:38,840 --> 01:26:41,880
Speaker 4: same plane in terms of their you know, ability to

1683
01:26:41,920 --> 01:26:44,680
Speaker 4: win playoff games. I think it's obvious Mahomes has the

1684
01:26:44,760 --> 01:26:48,000
Speaker 4: edge there. It's just this is this is a tough spot.

1685
01:26:48,560 --> 01:26:52,240
Speaker 4: This is I think we're gonna see if Patrick Mahomes

1686
01:26:52,280 --> 01:26:55,479
Speaker 4: goes into Baltimore tomorrow and pulls out this win.

1687
01:26:56,439 --> 01:26:59,000
Speaker 2: Like unlike the prior years.

1688
01:26:58,760 --> 01:27:01,320
Speaker 4: Where I think the Chiefs had an edge in all

1689
01:27:01,320 --> 01:27:04,519
Speaker 4: these games with their offense, their scheme, they don't have

1690
01:27:04,560 --> 01:27:07,240
Speaker 4: an edge in this game. The edge is very minimal.

1691
01:27:07,439 --> 01:27:09,840
Speaker 4: The only edge that I see in terms of matchups

1692
01:27:10,240 --> 01:27:12,559
Speaker 4: the Chiefs who run inside zone a lot. The Ravens

1693
01:27:12,640 --> 01:27:15,040
Speaker 4: give up some big plays to inside zone, and if

1694
01:27:15,040 --> 01:27:18,040
Speaker 4: the Chiefs do a good job in throwing it from

1695
01:27:18,080 --> 01:27:20,720
Speaker 4: their heavy personnel, that's something in the Ravens have been

1696
01:27:20,720 --> 01:27:24,320
Speaker 4: susceptible to. But the Chiefs don't throw a lot out

1697
01:27:24,360 --> 01:27:26,479
Speaker 4: of twelve personnel two tight ends, like it's just not

1698
01:27:26,520 --> 01:27:28,599
Speaker 4: what they do right. The Chiefs don't run a lot

1699
01:27:28,640 --> 01:27:31,479
Speaker 4: of inside zone with Pacheco like, it's just not their

1700
01:27:31,520 --> 01:27:34,759
Speaker 4: bread and butter. The matchups in this game don't favor

1701
01:27:34,800 --> 01:27:37,400
Speaker 4: Kansas City. That doesn't mean Mahomes can't pull a rabbit

1702
01:27:37,400 --> 01:27:40,200
Speaker 4: out of his hat, because these games can get fluky

1703
01:27:40,240 --> 01:27:42,839
Speaker 4: and weird. But if you just want to talk straight

1704
01:27:43,160 --> 01:27:46,679
Speaker 4: x's and o's, the Ravens what they do best against

1705
01:27:46,680 --> 01:27:49,439
Speaker 4: the Chiefs, what they do best. All of the matchups

1706
01:27:49,479 --> 01:27:53,240
Speaker 4: favor Baltimore. Here, the physicality, the power run concepts, the

1707
01:27:53,280 --> 01:27:57,080
Speaker 4: war of attrition, the only matchup edge and I wouldn't

1708
01:27:57,080 --> 01:27:59,439
Speaker 4: even call it a matchup edge. The only advantage the

1709
01:27:59,520 --> 01:28:02,240
Speaker 4: Chiefs have in this game they have Patrick Mahomes and

1710
01:28:02,280 --> 01:28:04,920
Speaker 4: the Ravens don't like And I know that sounds crazy

1711
01:28:04,960 --> 01:28:07,280
Speaker 4: when we're handicapping a football game where there's eleven players

1712
01:28:07,320 --> 01:28:09,920
Speaker 4: on the field, you know, twenty two offense defense, and

1713
01:28:09,960 --> 01:28:12,280
Speaker 4: we're talking about one guy. But that's how important the

1714
01:28:12,320 --> 01:28:15,519
Speaker 4: quarterback position is. Obviously in the NFL, the Ravens don't

1715
01:28:15,560 --> 01:28:19,519
Speaker 4: have the great equalizer, but twenty one out of twenty

1716
01:28:19,560 --> 01:28:21,479
Speaker 4: two guys, I mean, the Ravens have the edge year.

1717
01:28:21,520 --> 01:28:24,240
Speaker 4: It's just it's a matter of can Mahomes pull out

1718
01:28:24,280 --> 01:28:24,719
Speaker 4: some magic.

1719
01:28:25,479 --> 01:28:28,160
Speaker 2: Well. I also think that in the playoffs have shown

1720
01:28:28,200 --> 01:28:32,519
Speaker 2: us this, as every year does. Many playoff games are lost,

1721
01:28:32,960 --> 01:28:35,679
Speaker 2: not just sure one right. And so when you're looking

1722
01:28:35,760 --> 01:28:38,120
Speaker 2: at the xes and o's, and you're looking at matchups

1723
01:28:38,160 --> 01:28:41,080
Speaker 2: and who's got the favorable matchup, that's all well and good,

1724
01:28:41,160 --> 01:28:43,920
Speaker 2: and that might be the difference in the game. But

1725
01:28:44,160 --> 01:28:47,640
Speaker 2: what can also determine the difference is a team just

1726
01:28:47,680 --> 01:28:51,400
Speaker 2: screwing up. And look at last week Tyler Bass missed

1727
01:28:51,400 --> 01:28:55,200
Speaker 2: a game tying field goal for the Bills wide right right.

1728
01:28:55,200 --> 01:28:58,280
Speaker 2: If you look at that Packers game, Andrews Carlson missed

1729
01:28:58,280 --> 01:29:00,000
Speaker 2: a kick that would have put him up by seven

1730
01:29:00,280 --> 01:29:02,519
Speaker 2: points late in the game. He missed it, and then

1731
01:29:02,640 --> 01:29:05,559
Speaker 2: Jordan Love with I don't know what the hell the

1732
01:29:05,640 --> 01:29:08,120
Speaker 2: guy was doing throwing late across the middle of the field.

1733
01:29:08,760 --> 01:29:12,879
Speaker 2: That was brutal weird, right, So it gets me thinking

1734
01:29:13,720 --> 01:29:19,719
Speaker 2: which team, which player is most likely to potentially lose

1735
01:29:19,760 --> 01:29:22,800
Speaker 2: the game, not just win it. Right, So you start

1736
01:29:22,920 --> 01:29:25,720
Speaker 2: doing that exercise that it's like, is it Mahomes, Probably not,

1737
01:29:26,080 --> 01:29:30,800
Speaker 2: you know, is it Goff maybe? Is it Lamar? Like, Like,

1738
01:29:30,880 --> 01:29:35,719
Speaker 2: for context, think about this, Lamar in the postseason five

1739
01:29:35,800 --> 01:29:39,559
Speaker 2: touchdown passes, five interceptions. His passer rating is seventy five

1740
01:29:39,640 --> 01:29:43,360
Speaker 2: point seven in the postseason. For context, that's lower than

1741
01:29:43,400 --> 01:29:47,439
Speaker 2: the passer ratings of Mac Jones and Zach Wilson this

1742
01:29:47,560 --> 01:29:52,080
Speaker 2: past season. Okay, so I hear you, Jared. The matchups

1743
01:29:52,200 --> 01:29:55,759
Speaker 2: favor the Ravens. But when I start opening the door

1744
01:29:56,040 --> 01:30:01,920
Speaker 2: of hey, if a game is lost, who might lose it?

1745
01:30:02,400 --> 01:30:04,800
Speaker 2: And some of that stuff is completely unpredictable. It's the

1746
01:30:04,840 --> 01:30:07,960
Speaker 2: punt returner who muffs the punt and that changes the game. Right,

1747
01:30:08,160 --> 01:30:11,400
Speaker 2: There's some stuff that's going to be unforeseen. But I'm

1748
01:30:11,520 --> 01:30:15,080
Speaker 2: like rich Man, I'm still not convinced that we've seen

1749
01:30:15,200 --> 01:30:18,479
Speaker 2: Lamar like one win against the Texans. That's all well

1750
01:30:18,479 --> 01:30:21,320
Speaker 2: and good, and he was spectacular last week, but this

1751
01:30:21,360 --> 01:30:24,120
Speaker 2: is a different defense and a different test and the

1752
01:30:24,200 --> 01:30:26,920
Speaker 2: resume it leaves something to be desired in the postseason.

1753
01:30:27,000 --> 01:30:29,320
Speaker 2: So I'm just leaving that possibility open here.

1754
01:30:29,520 --> 01:30:33,720
Speaker 3: Well, look, I think I'm here, you know, for a

1755
01:30:33,760 --> 01:30:37,040
Speaker 3: couple of reasons, but maybe the most important reason, as

1756
01:30:37,080 --> 01:30:40,400
Speaker 3: a former football player and having played in the postseason,

1757
01:30:40,479 --> 01:30:45,000
Speaker 3: to lend you guys the perspective of that experience and

1758
01:30:45,960 --> 01:30:49,919
Speaker 3: how it can really have an effect on people and

1759
01:30:49,600 --> 01:30:53,960
Speaker 3: their ability to perform. You know, the more practiced you

1760
01:30:54,080 --> 01:30:58,280
Speaker 3: are at playing in big games, the more routine it

1761
01:30:58,400 --> 01:31:00,960
Speaker 3: becomes for Lamar Jackson.

1762
01:31:01,280 --> 01:31:04,880
Speaker 2: This is the biggest moment of his career. Oh yeah.

1763
01:31:04,920 --> 01:31:06,200
Speaker 2: For Patrick Mahomes.

1764
01:31:06,560 --> 01:31:09,920
Speaker 3: This is what Patrick Mahomes does playing in an AFC

1765
01:31:10,000 --> 01:31:12,519
Speaker 3: Championship game. I think a lot of people are really

1766
01:31:12,760 --> 01:31:16,760
Speaker 3: overrating the fact that he's playing his first AFC Championship

1767
01:31:16,840 --> 01:31:19,800
Speaker 3: game on the road. He has lived in the postseason.

1768
01:31:19,920 --> 01:31:24,240
Speaker 3: It's like Bane from Batman. He was born of this.

1769
01:31:24,720 --> 01:31:28,720
Speaker 3: He knows nothing but this. He hasn't he hasn't he

1770
01:31:28,760 --> 01:31:32,719
Speaker 3: hasn't seen anything butt postseason. So he is the most

1771
01:31:33,000 --> 01:31:37,120
Speaker 3: low heartbeat operator left in the field. I mean, you

1772
01:31:37,160 --> 01:31:39,160
Speaker 3: could compare it to guys who've even played longer in

1773
01:31:39,200 --> 01:31:42,160
Speaker 3: the league than Patrick Mahomes, Jared Goff. I mean, there's

1774
01:31:42,200 --> 01:31:45,080
Speaker 3: not a single quarterback left in the field that has

1775
01:31:45,160 --> 01:31:49,639
Speaker 3: more postseason experience. And then you look at his coach,

1776
01:31:49,800 --> 01:31:53,200
Speaker 3: Andy Reid. I mean, none of this, nothing is going

1777
01:31:53,240 --> 01:31:56,400
Speaker 3: to surprise him. So I just look at this from

1778
01:31:56,400 --> 01:32:02,840
Speaker 3: the standpoint of the emotional tax that playing in a

1779
01:32:03,640 --> 01:32:07,959
Speaker 3: heightened environment where you have this reality and this pressing

1780
01:32:08,920 --> 01:32:11,479
Speaker 3: emotion that I've got to do make the play. I've

1781
01:32:11,479 --> 01:32:13,720
Speaker 3: got to make the play. You know, Patrick Mahms has

1782
01:32:13,760 --> 01:32:15,639
Speaker 3: been through this. He knows what it feels to lose

1783
01:32:15,760 --> 01:32:18,200
Speaker 3: these games. He knows what it feels to win these games.

1784
01:32:18,280 --> 01:32:21,800
Speaker 3: He knows what you know, energy conservation you need to

1785
01:32:21,800 --> 01:32:24,320
Speaker 3: put into this. And I'm not saying Lamar Jackson won't

1786
01:32:24,360 --> 01:32:27,599
Speaker 3: win and the Ravens won't win, and John Harbaugh isn't

1787
01:32:27,600 --> 01:32:31,720
Speaker 3: a talented postseason coach. You know all of that yet

1788
01:32:31,840 --> 01:32:34,120
Speaker 3: is yet to be determined. Really, John Harbaugh has his

1789
01:32:34,720 --> 01:32:37,720
Speaker 3: success in the postseason. But but in terms of what

1790
01:32:37,760 --> 01:32:39,760
Speaker 3: the outcomes will be, we don't know yet. But I

1791
01:32:39,800 --> 01:32:43,960
Speaker 3: can tell you from experience, the postseason is a completely

1792
01:32:43,960 --> 01:32:48,160
Speaker 3: different animal. Your energy level is a completely different level.

1793
01:32:48,520 --> 01:32:52,400
Speaker 3: And when you when you have more experience in those games,

1794
01:32:52,439 --> 01:32:56,200
Speaker 3: more experience in those moments, you tend to perform looser.

1795
01:32:56,600 --> 01:33:00,280
Speaker 3: You have an easier time handle those stressors. And it's

1796
01:33:00,360 --> 01:33:04,320
Speaker 3: like anything else, it's the more experience you have, the easier,

1797
01:33:05,240 --> 01:33:06,759
Speaker 3: at least the easier it feels.

1798
01:33:06,760 --> 01:33:07,000
Speaker 2: It is.

1799
01:33:07,080 --> 01:33:08,320
Speaker 3: It doesn't mean that this is going to be an

1800
01:33:08,400 --> 01:33:11,400
Speaker 3: easy game for the Chiefs. It just feels easier because

1801
01:33:11,400 --> 01:33:12,920
Speaker 3: it's a hill they've climbed before.

1802
01:33:14,000 --> 01:33:18,200
Speaker 4: You think darkness is your ally, you merely adopted the

1803
01:33:18,320 --> 01:33:21,519
Speaker 4: doc I was bonning it molded by it. That's such

1804
01:33:21,520 --> 01:33:26,160
Speaker 4: a great bank quote, very underrated villain in a superhero

1805
01:33:26,320 --> 01:33:29,360
Speaker 4: movie lore. I thought that was one of my favorite

1806
01:33:29,600 --> 01:33:33,519
Speaker 4: Christopher Nolan flicks there. All right, to go off topic,

1807
01:33:33,720 --> 01:33:35,160
Speaker 4: I think this game is going to be kind of.

1808
01:33:35,080 --> 01:33:36,719
Speaker 2: Played out like a Hollywood script.

1809
01:33:36,960 --> 01:33:39,640
Speaker 4: You've got the team. I mean, let's just call it

1810
01:33:39,680 --> 01:33:41,880
Speaker 4: what it is, guys. The Ravens are the best team

1811
01:33:41,880 --> 01:33:43,439
Speaker 4: in the NFL. They've been the best team in the

1812
01:33:43,520 --> 01:33:46,559
Speaker 4: NFL this season. Every time they've managed up in class,

1813
01:33:46,600 --> 01:33:50,000
Speaker 4: they have smacked those opponents down. That doesn't mean they're

1814
01:33:50,000 --> 01:33:52,000
Speaker 4: going to win the super Bowl. The Patriots were the

1815
01:33:52,000 --> 01:33:54,400
Speaker 4: best team in NFL history until they lost to the

1816
01:33:54,439 --> 01:33:56,680
Speaker 4: Giants in the Super Bowl. But it's obvious to me

1817
01:33:57,040 --> 01:34:00,719
Speaker 4: that you have the best team in the NFL, the Ravens,

1818
01:34:00,960 --> 01:34:05,679
Speaker 4: against the best player, Patrick Mahomes. How that works out.

1819
01:34:06,439 --> 01:34:08,439
Speaker 4: That's why they have a points spread, That's why they play.

1820
01:34:09,280 --> 01:34:11,320
Speaker 4: I think it's obvious, based off of my handicap that

1821
01:34:11,360 --> 01:34:13,400
Speaker 4: I like the Ravens in this spot, especially at three

1822
01:34:13,439 --> 01:34:16,040
Speaker 4: and a half. I think this is one of the

1823
01:34:16,080 --> 01:34:19,639
Speaker 4: cases where the best team matters because of the factors

1824
01:34:19,640 --> 01:34:22,479
Speaker 4: that we talked about, the injuries up front, especially to

1825
01:34:22,560 --> 01:34:24,680
Speaker 4: Joe Tooney, who haven't talked about yet, probably the best

1826
01:34:24,760 --> 01:34:26,920
Speaker 4: run blocking guard in the league, maybe top five on

1827
01:34:26,960 --> 01:34:29,800
Speaker 4: that list. And of course on the other side, you've

1828
01:34:29,840 --> 01:34:32,160
Speaker 4: got some defensive injuries for the Chiefs that might hinder

1829
01:34:32,200 --> 01:34:33,960
Speaker 4: them in stopping the run, which is what the Ravens

1830
01:34:34,000 --> 01:34:34,400
Speaker 4: do best.

1831
01:34:35,360 --> 01:34:37,280
Speaker 2: I don't know how it's gonna play out on the field.

1832
01:34:37,360 --> 01:34:39,400
Speaker 4: Mahomes will probably have a moment or two where he

1833
01:34:39,560 --> 01:34:42,960
Speaker 4: can steal this game. But we haven't talked a lot

1834
01:34:43,000 --> 01:34:45,439
Speaker 4: about the Ravens defense. A lot of the attraction goes

1835
01:34:45,439 --> 01:34:48,720
Speaker 4: towards Lamar and the offenses, but this Ravens defense is

1836
01:34:48,880 --> 01:34:51,640
Speaker 4: historic as well. So if there was one defense that

1837
01:34:51,800 --> 01:34:57,160
Speaker 4: was properly equipped to keep Patrick Mahomes from stealing this game,

1838
01:34:57,640 --> 01:35:00,280
Speaker 4: maybe the Ravens are that one defense that can kind

1839
01:35:00,280 --> 01:35:03,639
Speaker 4: of hem him in enough to keep them off balanced.

1840
01:35:03,640 --> 01:35:05,479
Speaker 4: But this is gonna be obviously it's the shorter of

1841
01:35:05,479 --> 01:35:08,519
Speaker 4: the two spread. It's gonna be a fantastic game. I

1842
01:35:08,560 --> 01:35:11,639
Speaker 4: think the Ravens have a little bit too much physicality here,

1843
01:35:11,680 --> 01:35:13,519
Speaker 4: and I think it could get out of hand late

1844
01:35:13,560 --> 01:35:16,280
Speaker 4: if the bully mentality comes in a full effect, just

1845
01:35:16,280 --> 01:35:17,400
Speaker 4: like the Ravens Texans game.

1846
01:35:17,400 --> 01:35:18,000
Speaker 2: Did last week.

1847
01:35:18,040 --> 01:35:20,760
Speaker 4: But man, I'm not counting out Patrick Mahomes. I just

1848
01:35:20,920 --> 01:35:21,680
Speaker 4: you just can't do it.

1849
01:35:22,880 --> 01:35:25,760
Speaker 2: Mark Andrews is back. The Ravens tight end miss seven

1850
01:35:25,800 --> 01:35:28,320
Speaker 2: straight games with an ankle injury, so that could be

1851
01:35:28,320 --> 01:35:31,000
Speaker 2: a big deal. Sure, when you have Andrews and Isaiah

1852
01:35:31,200 --> 01:35:34,040
Speaker 2: Likely that's a nasty one to two combo right there.

1853
01:35:34,080 --> 01:35:37,320
Speaker 2: And then how about this, Travis Kelce. He needs seven

1854
01:35:37,400 --> 01:35:41,920
Speaker 2: catches to pass Jerry Rice for the most in postseason history.

1855
01:35:42,560 --> 01:35:44,720
Speaker 2: That's pretty struggle against Kyle Hamilton in this game.

1856
01:35:44,760 --> 01:35:45,320
Speaker 4: I think.

1857
01:35:46,920 --> 01:35:49,720
Speaker 2: We'll see, Hey, shout out Irish. You know, I can't

1858
01:35:49,760 --> 01:35:52,439
Speaker 2: say anything but my guy Kyle Hamilton right there, he's

1859
01:35:52,600 --> 01:35:55,599
Speaker 2: very good. But that's a pretty crazy company where he's

1860
01:35:55,720 --> 01:35:59,280
Speaker 2: seven catches away from surpassing Jerry Rice for the most

1861
01:35:59,360 --> 01:36:02,840
Speaker 2: ketches and season history. So that's the thing. It's it's

1862
01:36:02,840 --> 01:36:06,080
Speaker 2: not just the Mahomes thing. Mahomes has thirteen wins in

1863
01:36:06,160 --> 01:36:11,280
Speaker 2: the playoffs. That's more than twelve NFL franchises. It's crazy.

1864
01:36:11,320 --> 01:36:13,160
Speaker 2: It's more than the Saints have, it's more than the

1865
01:36:13,200 --> 01:36:16,800
Speaker 2: Bengals have, and they're freaking history, right. But it's not

1866
01:36:16,880 --> 01:36:19,519
Speaker 2: just a Mahomes number. Travis Kelsey's been around for all

1867
01:36:19,600 --> 01:36:23,240
Speaker 2: that stuff too, So we'll see, we'll see if experience

1868
01:36:23,640 --> 01:36:25,920
Speaker 2: makes a big difference in a game like this. All right,

1869
01:36:25,960 --> 01:36:29,400
Speaker 2: We've got Rich Hornberger, Penn State All American, Jared Smith FSR,

1870
01:36:29,439 --> 01:36:33,320
Speaker 2: betting analyst, I'm Brian No coming up next. A debate

1871
01:36:33,439 --> 01:36:38,640
Speaker 2: so heated. We might not be friends afterwards. And there's

1872
01:36:38,680 --> 01:36:43,519
Speaker 2: nothing dramatic about that at all. This is true the knockdowns. Now,

1873
01:36:44,479 --> 01:36:47,400
Speaker 2: can we confirm you and I know being rich? Yes? Okay,

1874
01:36:47,439 --> 01:36:50,799
Speaker 2: fair enough. It is Fox Sports Radios Countdown to Kickoff,

1875
01:36:51,000 --> 01:36:54,839
Speaker 2: presented by Bet mgm. It is Fox Sports Radios Countdown

1876
01:36:54,880 --> 01:37:02,080
Speaker 2: to Kickoff, presented by Bett MGM. So on the text

1877
01:37:02,160 --> 01:37:06,880
Speaker 2: thread that we share for this show on Saturdays, it

1878
01:37:06,960 --> 01:37:11,120
Speaker 2: made my heart sink. Made my heart sink. After the

1879
01:37:11,240 --> 01:37:15,960
Speaker 2: Chiefs Bills game last week, where there's word. According to

1880
01:37:16,040 --> 01:37:20,080
Speaker 2: Jeremy Fowler, he put out a tweet on x he wrote,

1881
01:37:20,080 --> 01:37:22,880
Speaker 2: good chance the touchback rule for fumbling through the end

1882
01:37:23,000 --> 01:37:28,360
Speaker 2: zone will be changed this offseason. Momentum behind NFL correcting it.

1883
01:37:29,280 --> 01:37:32,760
Speaker 2: Interesting wording right there, correcting a brain dead ruling. I'm

1884
01:37:33,200 --> 01:37:37,960
Speaker 2: editorializing right there, penalty considered by many to be too

1885
01:37:38,040 --> 01:37:41,439
Speaker 2: harsh and on the text thread we mentioned this and

1886
01:37:41,560 --> 01:37:45,200
Speaker 2: rich was like, I actually like it. Actually no, I

1887
01:37:45,840 --> 01:37:48,400
Speaker 2: take it back. I saw a tweet from our guy

1888
01:37:48,520 --> 01:37:52,720
Speaker 2: Rich Oe and was like, you know, unpopular stance of mine.

1889
01:37:52,760 --> 01:37:55,840
Speaker 2: I like the touchback rule. And I'm like, oh my gosh,

1890
01:37:55,920 --> 01:37:59,280
Speaker 2: here now here's the thing, Rich, Yeah, go ahead. Let

1891
01:37:59,360 --> 01:38:03,280
Speaker 2: me just say a couple things. Because Jeremy Fowler his tweet,

1892
01:38:03,320 --> 01:38:06,680
Speaker 2: there was a comment right under underneath it. This might

1893
01:38:06,720 --> 01:38:11,240
Speaker 2: be your burner. I'm not sure, Rich. It said, why please,

1894
01:38:11,360 --> 01:38:16,759
Speaker 2: don't don't reward someone who fumbles. It's like, no, don't

1895
01:38:16,880 --> 01:38:21,720
Speaker 2: reward a team who doesn't recover the fumble. Remember when

1896
01:38:21,800 --> 01:38:25,960
Speaker 2: Josh Allen fumbled last week around midfield. It was late

1897
01:38:25,960 --> 01:38:29,080
Speaker 2: in the game and Josh Allen fumbled the ball and

1898
01:38:29,120 --> 01:38:31,720
Speaker 2: it was just rolling around right there. Chiefs tried to

1899
01:38:32,000 --> 01:38:35,360
Speaker 2: scoop it. Who got possession of that ball? Do you

1900
01:38:35,400 --> 01:38:39,760
Speaker 2: guys remember who got possession of the ball when who

1901
01:38:39,880 --> 01:38:44,040
Speaker 2: fumbled it? Josh Allen, Josh Allen quarterback Bills fumbled around midfield.

1902
01:38:44,320 --> 01:38:46,200
Speaker 2: Chiefs tried to scoop it up. I know you're getting

1903
01:38:46,240 --> 01:38:50,639
Speaker 2: your notes ready for your crazy argument about a stupid rule, Buddy,

1904
01:38:50,640 --> 01:38:54,000
Speaker 2: Well I don't remember. I don't remember who scooped.

1905
01:38:54,080 --> 01:38:55,599
Speaker 4: No one recovered it, right, it went out of bounds?

1906
01:38:55,600 --> 01:38:56,679
Speaker 4: Didn't someone hit it out of bounds?

1907
01:38:57,000 --> 01:38:59,280
Speaker 2: Was a penalty or something? No, I think that was

1908
01:38:59,520 --> 01:39:02,320
Speaker 2: I think that the other one, but I'm not sure.

1909
01:39:02,360 --> 01:39:06,920
Speaker 2: But the Bills retain possession because the Chiefs didn't recover

1910
01:39:07,200 --> 01:39:12,080
Speaker 2: the bumble. Okay, I remember why they didn't get yes, exactly.

1911
01:39:12,120 --> 01:39:14,599
Speaker 2: It rings a bell now. Yeah. It's just it's way

1912
01:39:14,640 --> 01:39:17,360
Speaker 2: too harsh. It's never made any sense. It never will.

1913
01:39:18,080 --> 01:39:20,439
Speaker 2: It's like if I steal a candy bar, I should

1914
01:39:20,439 --> 01:39:23,599
Speaker 2: get punished. I shouldn't go to jail for three years. Okay,

1915
01:39:23,920 --> 01:39:27,639
Speaker 2: that's what fumbling through the end zone is. You get charity,

1916
01:39:27,680 --> 01:39:29,839
Speaker 2: you get the ball, and you get it at the twenty.

1917
01:39:30,600 --> 01:39:34,599
Speaker 2: It's never made any sense. You are penalized for gaining

1918
01:39:34,600 --> 01:39:37,559
Speaker 2: more yards. The closer you get to the end zone,

1919
01:39:38,360 --> 01:39:41,439
Speaker 2: the more risk you are at the other team being

1920
01:39:41,479 --> 01:39:45,559
Speaker 2: rewarded with something they never earned. It's so stupid. I

1921
01:39:45,680 --> 01:39:47,920
Speaker 2: freaking hate it. I won't go as far as to

1922
01:39:47,920 --> 01:39:50,080
Speaker 2: say I hate the people who support this, but it's close.

1923
01:39:50,240 --> 01:39:53,400
Speaker 3: I mean, I do love the rule, and I'll tell

1924
01:39:53,439 --> 01:39:57,120
Speaker 3: you why I love it. Because it makes the end

1925
01:39:57,240 --> 01:40:02,599
Speaker 3: zone even more consequential than it already is. Obviously, all

1926
01:40:02,680 --> 01:40:05,040
Speaker 3: these rules are just made up, you know what I mean,

1927
01:40:05,080 --> 01:40:06,080
Speaker 3: if you really think about it.

1928
01:40:06,080 --> 01:40:07,040
Speaker 2: I don't want to get too.

1929
01:40:06,920 --> 01:40:10,120
Speaker 3: Philosophical here, but like, if you think about it, all

1930
01:40:10,200 --> 01:40:15,679
Speaker 3: these rules, they're just ideas that people once had implemented, liked,

1931
01:40:15,840 --> 01:40:16,879
Speaker 3: and so they stuck.

1932
01:40:17,400 --> 01:40:19,200
Speaker 2: And that's all football is.

1933
01:40:19,240 --> 01:40:22,479
Speaker 3: It's just a conglomeration of rules that sort of make

1934
01:40:22,600 --> 01:40:26,280
Speaker 3: sense together, some more than others, and you pile them

1935
01:40:26,360 --> 01:40:28,960
Speaker 3: up and you have what we have is now the

1936
01:40:29,000 --> 01:40:32,479
Speaker 3: most popular game in this country. And I like this

1937
01:40:32,560 --> 01:40:36,360
Speaker 3: rule because it makes it makes the painted area of

1938
01:40:36,439 --> 01:40:38,679
Speaker 3: the fifty two and a half or whatever the width

1939
01:40:38,760 --> 01:40:41,519
Speaker 3: of the field is plus the ten yards depth so

1940
01:40:41,680 --> 01:40:45,400
Speaker 3: much more consequential, not just for the offense in terms

1941
01:40:45,439 --> 01:40:48,160
Speaker 3: of positive but for the offense in terms of negative.

1942
01:40:48,840 --> 01:40:51,519
Speaker 2: So that, but Rich, why don't we make field goals

1943
01:40:51,640 --> 01:40:54,960
Speaker 2: worth seven points? It'd be way more consequential, you know

1944
01:40:55,000 --> 01:40:57,640
Speaker 2: what I mean? Like, Well, just because it's more consequential

1945
01:40:57,680 --> 01:40:58,960
Speaker 2: doesn't mean it makes any sense.

1946
01:40:59,360 --> 01:41:02,599
Speaker 3: I'm I'm not debating for a second that you can

1947
01:41:03,080 --> 01:41:06,200
Speaker 3: you can institute rule changes to make the game more

1948
01:41:06,240 --> 01:41:09,160
Speaker 3: consequential and it would make the game worse.

1949
01:41:09,800 --> 01:41:11,880
Speaker 2: This is a game. This is a play.

1950
01:41:11,640 --> 01:41:13,320
Speaker 3: That makes sense in terms of the rules of the

1951
01:41:13,360 --> 01:41:16,000
Speaker 3: game because, as we know, on a kickoff, a kickoff

1952
01:41:16,040 --> 01:41:19,040
Speaker 3: is considered a free ball, and if it goes out

1953
01:41:19,040 --> 01:41:21,280
Speaker 3: the back of the end zone or out the end

1954
01:41:21,360 --> 01:41:25,360
Speaker 3: zone in any fashion, it's a touchback. And so it

1955
01:41:25,520 --> 01:41:29,000
Speaker 3: makes sense when you're defending an end zone, if there's

1956
01:41:29,040 --> 01:41:31,439
Speaker 3: a fumble that goes out the back of the end zone,

1957
01:41:31,479 --> 01:41:34,559
Speaker 3: it should be a touchback for the team on defense.

1958
01:41:34,920 --> 01:41:37,800
Speaker 3: So in terms of like just changing a rule to

1959
01:41:37,840 --> 01:41:40,280
Speaker 3: make an area of the field or an aspect of

1960
01:41:40,280 --> 01:41:43,040
Speaker 3: the game more consequential, I agree with you, Brian, that

1961
01:41:43,120 --> 01:41:46,000
Speaker 3: may not make the game better, But in this case,

1962
01:41:46,040 --> 01:41:49,920
Speaker 3: this rule makes sense. This rule makes the game more critical,

1963
01:41:50,120 --> 01:41:53,200
Speaker 3: especially in the low red zone, as if you needed

1964
01:41:53,320 --> 01:41:56,439
Speaker 3: more impact than a seven or a six point swing.

1965
01:41:56,880 --> 01:41:59,679
Speaker 3: If you allow a team to score for the offense,

1966
01:41:59,760 --> 01:42:02,479
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, it puts onus on them. It's like, okay,

1967
01:42:02,720 --> 01:42:04,880
Speaker 3: so not only are we trying to get this ball

1968
01:42:04,920 --> 01:42:09,280
Speaker 3: past this magical plane into this magical area so that

1969
01:42:09,320 --> 01:42:12,840
Speaker 3: we can take a points benefit, but also we got

1970
01:42:12,880 --> 01:42:17,759
Speaker 3: to be super protective, especially near the sideline or in general,

1971
01:42:18,000 --> 01:42:18,479
Speaker 3: in the end.

1972
01:42:18,479 --> 01:42:21,200
Speaker 2: Zone, because if we do lose possession.

1973
01:42:20,800 --> 01:42:24,280
Speaker 3: Of this football, it could be so consequential to the

1974
01:42:24,280 --> 01:42:26,640
Speaker 3: outcome of this game, because we could take the potential

1975
01:42:26,720 --> 01:42:29,639
Speaker 3: or perceive six points we could have scored, and then

1976
01:42:29,680 --> 01:42:32,640
Speaker 3: not only not get that six points, but put the

1977
01:42:32,680 --> 01:42:36,400
Speaker 3: ball in the hands of our opponent with only seventy

1978
01:42:36,400 --> 01:42:39,439
Speaker 3: five yards left to go to get to their end zone.

1979
01:42:39,520 --> 01:42:42,680
Speaker 3: It's it's a beautiful thing. I think it makes the

1980
01:42:42,720 --> 01:42:46,160
Speaker 3: game more exciting near the goal line, and it just

1981
01:42:46,360 --> 01:42:50,599
Speaker 3: I understand the ardent defense of the rule. I also

1982
01:42:50,760 --> 01:42:54,719
Speaker 3: understand how many fans have been burned because of this rule.

1983
01:42:54,960 --> 01:42:57,920
Speaker 3: It is and that's the reason why people argue against

1984
01:42:57,920 --> 01:43:01,640
Speaker 3: it so so so emotionally.

1985
01:43:02,160 --> 01:43:04,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, my guess is the Chiefs fans think it's the

1986
01:43:04,880 --> 01:43:07,519
Speaker 4: dumbest rule ever, whereas the Bills fans are like, this

1987
01:43:07,680 --> 01:43:11,360
Speaker 4: rule is awesome. I love this rule saved our chances

1988
01:43:11,400 --> 01:43:14,320
Speaker 4: for another few minutes until you missed the field goal.

1989
01:43:15,120 --> 01:43:17,639
Speaker 4: I was listening very intently to both of your answers

1990
01:43:17,680 --> 01:43:20,880
Speaker 4: because I, you know, to give you a peek behind

1991
01:43:20,880 --> 01:43:22,720
Speaker 4: the curtain. When we were talking about this segment in

1992
01:43:22,760 --> 01:43:26,080
Speaker 4: our group chat this week, I specifically withheld my opinion

1993
01:43:26,600 --> 01:43:30,040
Speaker 4: to raise the level of tension and excitement for this segment.

1994
01:43:31,320 --> 01:43:33,800
Speaker 4: Let's just leave it at this. This is an impossible

1995
01:43:33,880 --> 01:43:37,439
Speaker 4: rule to give one answer on this rule is layered

1996
01:43:37,960 --> 01:43:39,320
Speaker 4: the pros of this rule.

1997
01:43:39,479 --> 01:43:40,360
Speaker 2: I agree with you Rich.

1998
01:43:40,439 --> 01:43:45,080
Speaker 4: It heightens the awareness and the importance of the goal line.

1999
01:43:46,120 --> 01:43:48,880
Speaker 4: It penalizes the offensive team for fumbling, Like, I think

2000
01:43:48,880 --> 01:43:50,400
Speaker 4: those are positive things.

2001
01:43:50,120 --> 01:43:52,799
Speaker 2: Like you shouldn't be you know, you should be penalized

2002
01:43:52,800 --> 01:43:53,839
Speaker 2: when you fumble the football.

2003
01:43:54,280 --> 01:43:57,760
Speaker 4: But logic says, why does it go out to the twenty? Right? Like,

2004
01:43:57,840 --> 01:44:00,719
Speaker 4: you can't advance a fumble on the offen offensive side,

2005
01:44:01,120 --> 01:44:03,840
Speaker 4: but on the defensive side, you can advance a fumble.

2006
01:44:03,880 --> 01:44:05,360
Speaker 4: Like guy fumbles at the one yard line on the

2007
01:44:05,360 --> 01:44:07,040
Speaker 4: goal line, it gets advanced out to the twenty.

2008
01:44:07,280 --> 01:44:09,040
Speaker 2: And I know that's because it's a touchback.

2009
01:44:09,080 --> 01:44:13,040
Speaker 4: But you kind of get hamstrung by these like conflicting rules.

2010
01:44:13,160 --> 01:44:15,960
Speaker 4: Logic says you can't advance a fumble, and logic says

2011
01:44:15,960 --> 01:44:17,600
Speaker 4: you gotta recover a fumble for the team. So like

2012
01:44:17,640 --> 01:44:19,960
Speaker 4: it kind of goes against a couple of logical points.

2013
01:44:20,640 --> 01:44:25,240
Speaker 4: The final assessment I made here was possession is nine

2014
01:44:25,280 --> 01:44:28,000
Speaker 4: tenths of the lall right, I feel comfortable about that.

2015
01:44:28,840 --> 01:44:31,599
Speaker 2: But who does the end zone belong to?

2016
01:44:32,520 --> 01:44:35,160
Speaker 4: I think it's the defense, right, Like the end zone

2017
01:44:35,360 --> 01:44:39,760
Speaker 4: is the defensive you know protection, you are protecting the

2018
01:44:39,920 --> 01:44:43,040
Speaker 4: end zone. So the fact that the ball goes into

2019
01:44:43,120 --> 01:44:46,719
Speaker 4: the end zone and is technically recovered by the end zone,

2020
01:44:47,200 --> 01:44:50,920
Speaker 4: if the end zone belongs to the defense, I think

2021
01:44:50,960 --> 01:44:53,200
Speaker 4: the rule kind of does in a weird way, makes sense.

2022
01:44:53,240 --> 01:44:55,439
Speaker 4: But I don't like the advancement. You should fumble, you

2023
01:44:55,439 --> 01:44:59,280
Speaker 4: should get possession where the ball was fumbled. But I'm

2024
01:44:59,280 --> 01:45:01,040
Speaker 4: okay with the de fence keeping possession.

2025
01:45:02,280 --> 01:45:08,720
Speaker 2: I need a break. I just have one more thing

2026
01:45:08,760 --> 01:45:12,320
Speaker 2: to add. But I need a respite over here, okay,

2027
01:45:12,320 --> 01:45:19,600
Speaker 2: and Isaac Lowenkron, do I have one? I have Isaac Lohankron.

2028
01:45:19,680 --> 01:45:24,280
Speaker 2: He's my phone to friendy. Please take it away here.

2029
01:45:24,360 --> 01:45:26,880
Speaker 2: I low glad to be there for you.

2030
01:45:27,000 --> 01:45:30,360
Speaker 7: We will start with some NFL news on this Saturday,

Speaker 2: You, It definitely didn't. It definitely still he helped. It

2051
01:46:46,360 --> 01:46:49,240
Speaker 2: helped a little bit, absolutely, as it always does. Isaac

2060
01:47:10,520 --> 01:47:14,799
Speaker 2: we get off the air. Here's the thing for anybody

2061
01:47:14,840 --> 01:47:17,880
Speaker 2: who says it makes a little bit of no, it

2062
01:47:17,960 --> 01:47:21,639
Speaker 2: makes no sense if I fumble. All right, let's take

2063
01:47:21,680 --> 01:47:23,920
Speaker 2: myself out of this. If a team fumbles out of

2064
01:47:23,960 --> 01:47:28,599
Speaker 2: bounds at the one, it's their ball at the one. Yeah,

2065
01:47:28,720 --> 01:47:32,320
Speaker 2: if they fumble through the end zone, it's the other

2066
01:47:32,479 --> 01:47:35,760
Speaker 2: team's ball at the twenty. I agree with that you.

2067
01:47:35,760 --> 01:47:37,920
Speaker 4: Should bring it back to the one yard line. You

2068
01:47:37,960 --> 01:47:39,360
Speaker 4: shouldn't be able to advance a fumble.

2069
01:47:39,680 --> 01:47:42,840
Speaker 2: Okay, that's just crazy to be It's crazy not only

2070
01:47:42,960 --> 01:47:46,320
Speaker 2: the advancement, but just giving the team the ball when

2071
01:47:46,320 --> 01:47:49,280
Speaker 2: they never recovered it. And here's the thing. Sometimes we

2072
01:47:49,400 --> 01:47:51,760
Speaker 2: just get used to stuff in life where it's been

2073
01:47:51,800 --> 01:47:54,760
Speaker 2: that way for ever since you can remember. And even

2074
01:47:54,800 --> 01:47:56,439
Speaker 2: though it doesn't make a whole lot of sense. You're

2075
01:47:56,560 --> 01:47:59,479
Speaker 2: used to it, and it seems to make more sense

2076
01:47:59,520 --> 01:48:02,040
Speaker 2: than some a weird way. So what if the NFL

2077
01:48:02,120 --> 01:48:05,160
Speaker 2: did this. We always talk about changing the rule where

2078
01:48:05,240 --> 01:48:07,880
Speaker 2: we do away with the other team gets possession or

2079
01:48:07,880 --> 01:48:09,920
Speaker 2: they get it at the twenty. What if the NFL

2080
01:48:10,040 --> 01:48:13,120
Speaker 2: took the current rule and just extended it. They just

2081
01:48:13,280 --> 01:48:15,960
Speaker 2: ran with it even more, and they said, you know what,

2082
01:48:16,880 --> 01:48:19,920
Speaker 2: not just fumbles through the end zone, all fumbles in

2083
01:48:20,040 --> 01:48:23,639
Speaker 2: the red zone that go out of bounds other team's

2084
01:48:23,720 --> 01:48:27,800
Speaker 2: ball at the twenty. If you fumble at the opponent's

2085
01:48:27,840 --> 01:48:31,479
Speaker 2: fifteen yard line, it's your opponent's ball at the twenty. Like,

2086
01:48:31,560 --> 01:48:35,280
Speaker 2: what would you think about them extending this rule even more?

2087
01:48:35,720 --> 01:48:39,760
Speaker 2: It doesn't make any sense, Like, what would be the

2088
01:48:39,920 --> 01:48:42,599
Speaker 2: counter to that? I just think the point is you

2089
01:48:42,640 --> 01:48:45,160
Speaker 2: get used to stuff being the way they are, and

2090
01:48:45,240 --> 01:48:47,400
Speaker 2: I think a lot of people are used to the

2091
01:48:47,520 --> 01:48:49,960
Speaker 2: rule being the way it is, the people who support it.

2092
01:48:49,960 --> 01:48:53,440
Speaker 2: It just doesn't make any sense. Well it does.

2093
01:48:53,520 --> 01:48:57,120
Speaker 3: Again when you relay it back to kickoffs, where a

2094
01:48:57,160 --> 01:48:59,840
Speaker 3: free ball going out the end zone is a touchback.

2095
01:49:00,120 --> 01:49:02,400
Speaker 3: So that's the reason why it happened. Not for the

2096
01:49:02,479 --> 01:49:04,920
Speaker 3: other team, Well, no, it is for the team.

2097
01:49:04,960 --> 01:49:07,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, the team that kicked off doesn't get possession exactly.

2098
01:49:07,800 --> 01:49:09,160
Speaker 2: It's for the defense.

2099
01:49:09,280 --> 01:49:11,679
Speaker 3: So when you kick off, you're in possession of the football,

2100
01:49:12,080 --> 01:49:15,040
Speaker 3: and then the defense is waiting to return.

2101
01:49:15,760 --> 01:49:17,080
Speaker 2: That ball is free.

2102
01:49:17,040 --> 01:49:19,519
Speaker 3: And it's given to the defense at the twenty five

2103
01:49:19,600 --> 01:49:21,200
Speaker 3: yard line. If the ball goes out the back of

2104
01:49:21,200 --> 01:49:23,320
Speaker 3: the end zone, the same way it would that the

2105
01:49:23,360 --> 01:49:25,920
Speaker 3: defense is rewarded with the touchback when a free ball

2106
01:49:25,960 --> 01:49:26,960
Speaker 3: goes out the end zone.

2107
01:49:27,000 --> 01:49:29,920
Speaker 2: The same thing with the punt, yep, exactly, And so no,

2108
01:49:30,240 --> 01:49:33,680
Speaker 2: it's not the same thing because like you're gonna the

2109
01:49:33,720 --> 01:49:36,200
Speaker 2: only way you can get the ball as the kicking

2110
01:49:36,240 --> 01:49:39,320
Speaker 2: team is if you recover it. That's the only way

2111
01:49:39,360 --> 01:49:41,759
Speaker 2: you can get it. It's not the same thing.

2112
01:49:42,200 --> 01:49:44,160
Speaker 3: As the kicking team, right, But we're not talking about

2113
01:49:44,200 --> 01:49:46,360
Speaker 3: the kicking team. We're talking about the defense. We're talking

2114
01:49:46,400 --> 01:49:47,840
Speaker 3: about the returning team.

2115
01:49:48,040 --> 01:49:50,400
Speaker 4: So technically the defense on that play they.

2116
01:49:50,520 --> 01:49:54,439
Speaker 3: Exactly exactly the ball starts with the kicking team. So anyways,

2117
01:49:54,560 --> 01:49:57,519
Speaker 3: the rule does make sense, and for any anybody who

2118
01:49:57,600 --> 01:50:01,000
Speaker 3: thinks it doesn't, it it just I'm there is no

2119
01:50:01,160 --> 01:50:04,840
Speaker 3: convincing you then, Brian, But I will, I will, I

2120
01:50:04,880 --> 01:50:05,559
Speaker 3: will say this.

2121
01:50:05,840 --> 01:50:07,720
Speaker 2: I understand how. It's a frustrating rule.

2122
01:50:07,880 --> 01:50:10,240
Speaker 3: Yes, I understand how, and I'll even apply it to

2123
01:50:10,320 --> 01:50:13,080
Speaker 3: a rule change that I don't necessarily think is for

2124
01:50:13,120 --> 01:50:16,880
Speaker 3: the best for the NFL, like, for example, a spot

2125
01:50:17,000 --> 01:50:20,920
Speaker 3: foul on a pass interference play. I mean, it feels

2126
01:50:20,960 --> 01:50:25,640
Speaker 3: at times to be way, way overly punitive to the defense.

2127
01:50:26,080 --> 01:50:29,040
Speaker 3: You know, there have been changes made to the NFL

2128
01:50:29,200 --> 01:50:33,000
Speaker 3: over the years that you know, and whatever they're trying

2129
01:50:33,040 --> 01:50:36,200
Speaker 3: to hide it as competitive disadvantage for one side or

2130
01:50:36,200 --> 01:50:39,679
Speaker 3: the other that needs to be rectified or player safety.

2131
01:50:40,000 --> 01:50:41,680
Speaker 3: There have been a lot of rule changes that have

2132
01:50:41,760 --> 01:50:45,680
Speaker 3: severely affected the game, and I don't know if this

2133
01:50:45,840 --> 01:50:48,639
Speaker 3: is necessarily one of them, but I know that I'm

2134
01:50:48,640 --> 01:50:51,400
Speaker 3: in support of it because the end zone has been

2135
01:50:51,479 --> 01:50:54,280
Speaker 3: told me told or has been taught to me to

2136
01:50:54,360 --> 01:50:57,400
Speaker 3: be this magical area of the field where so many

2137
01:50:57,479 --> 01:51:00,759
Speaker 3: good things can happen for the offense, were there only

2138
01:51:00,800 --> 01:51:04,519
Speaker 3: to be really one major and it is major, major

2139
01:51:04,640 --> 01:51:08,040
Speaker 3: negative that can occur to you offensively down in that

2140
01:51:08,160 --> 01:51:11,479
Speaker 3: area of the field for only one and it only

2141
01:51:11,520 --> 01:51:14,400
Speaker 3: comes up what maybe a handful of times a year.

2142
01:51:14,920 --> 01:51:18,000
Speaker 3: I think there's way too much emphasis on how this

2143
01:51:18,120 --> 01:51:20,960
Speaker 3: rule is so outdated or needs to be changed, or

2144
01:51:21,000 --> 01:51:24,200
Speaker 3: it's a you know, a revision like it's I think

2145
01:51:24,240 --> 01:51:26,719
Speaker 3: it makes the game more exciting that there is something

2146
01:51:26,800 --> 01:51:29,759
Speaker 3: punitive that can happen to the offense in the area

2147
01:51:29,760 --> 01:51:32,960
Speaker 3: of the field that's supposed to benefit benefit them so greatly.

2148
01:51:33,760 --> 01:51:36,559
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm not against your stance on it, Brian, Like

2149
01:51:36,760 --> 01:51:38,960
Speaker 4: I I it's fine you don't like the rule. There's

2150
01:51:39,000 --> 01:51:41,040
Speaker 4: a lot of rules that I don't like about a

2151
01:51:41,040 --> 01:51:43,599
Speaker 4: lot of things. I don't like broccoli. It's not gonna

2152
01:51:43,600 --> 01:51:45,960
Speaker 4: eat it right, Like I think. I think the rule

2153
01:51:46,200 --> 01:51:49,960
Speaker 4: is in place because of historical things that you know,

2154
01:51:50,240 --> 01:51:52,519
Speaker 4: came to be and we're just stuck with it. But

2155
01:51:52,560 --> 01:51:55,200
Speaker 4: most of the rules do favor the offenses. This one

2156
01:51:55,400 --> 01:51:58,719
Speaker 4: favors the defense. And I think the reason that I'm

2157
01:51:58,840 --> 01:52:01,360
Speaker 4: in favor of it is is because of the whole

2158
01:52:01,520 --> 01:52:04,240
Speaker 4: the end zone does belong to the defense. Now they're

2159
01:52:04,240 --> 01:52:06,639
Speaker 4: gonna change, guys, They're gonna change this rule. It's gonna

2160
01:52:06,640 --> 01:52:09,439
Speaker 4: get changed, and what that will lead to is guys

2161
01:52:09,560 --> 01:52:13,600
Speaker 4: like Superman launching from the five yard line now with

2162
01:52:13,840 --> 01:52:16,880
Speaker 4: no rewarding, with no risk of losing, a fumble out

2163
01:52:16,920 --> 01:52:19,519
Speaker 4: of bounds into the end zone. So it's a weird rule.

2164
01:52:19,560 --> 01:52:21,479
Speaker 4: It's a quirky rule. What's one of those things that

2165
01:52:21,520 --> 01:52:23,200
Speaker 4: makes football, you know, intriguing.

2166
01:52:23,439 --> 01:52:23,919
Speaker 2: IM.

2167
01:52:23,960 --> 01:52:25,360
Speaker 4: It's fine that you don't like it, Brian, but I

2168
01:52:25,800 --> 01:52:27,920
Speaker 4: understand a little bit, a little bit of logic behind it.

2169
01:52:27,920 --> 01:52:29,599
Speaker 4: The part that I don't like is that it's advanced.

2170
01:52:29,680 --> 01:52:31,400
Speaker 4: You shouldn't be able to advance a fumble. You're kind

2171
01:52:31,400 --> 01:52:35,120
Speaker 4: of hamstrung by the touchback rules there. But I understand

2172
01:52:35,200 --> 01:52:36,719
Speaker 4: why that that takes place.

2173
01:52:36,960 --> 01:52:39,040
Speaker 2: You want the ball, recover the ball.

2174
01:52:40,479 --> 01:52:42,240
Speaker 4: The rules say you don't have to in this case though.

2175
01:52:42,360 --> 01:52:44,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, and their rules make no freaking sense.

2176
01:52:44,600 --> 01:52:45,799
Speaker 4: And it's gonna get your problem.

2177
01:52:45,840 --> 01:52:48,920
Speaker 2: It's gonna get changed. It's been long overdue. I can't wait.

2178
01:52:49,200 --> 01:52:52,519
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a celebration when they finally change that rule.

2179
01:52:52,760 --> 01:52:56,479
Speaker 2: We've got Rich Ornberger, Penn State All American supporter of

2180
01:52:56,520 --> 01:53:01,479
Speaker 2: the crazy touchback rule. We've got jared'st FSR betting analyst

2181
01:53:02,720 --> 01:53:06,280
Speaker 2: kind of supporter, kind of not of I like to.

2182
01:53:06,200 --> 01:53:08,680
Speaker 4: Be on the fence to give the ambig you know, ambiguity.

2183
01:53:08,720 --> 01:53:09,920
Speaker 4: That's the politics version.

2184
01:53:09,920 --> 01:53:13,920
Speaker 2: I'm Brian no dead set against that rule. Oh gosh.

2185
01:53:14,439 --> 01:53:14,559
Speaker 6: Uh.

2186
01:53:14,680 --> 01:53:18,040

2198
01:53:59,479 --> 01:54:06,240
Speaker 2: Let's do it rapid fire, All right, Jared, what are

2199
01:54:06,240 --> 01:54:06,840
Speaker 2: you thinking here?

2200
01:54:06,840 --> 01:54:07,040
Speaker 6: Man?

2201
01:54:07,560 --> 01:54:09,719
Speaker 4: Well, I was going back and forth if I wanted

2202
01:54:09,720 --> 01:54:12,280
Speaker 4: to do a prop here or a total. I'm gonna

2203
01:54:12,280 --> 01:54:14,599
Speaker 4: give you two sides, one for each game coming up,

2204
01:54:14,600 --> 01:54:16,680
Speaker 4: But the third pick I was kind of up in

2205
01:54:16,720 --> 01:54:18,439
Speaker 4: the air about. So I'll give you a bet that

2206
01:54:18,479 --> 01:54:20,320
Speaker 4: I think if you make it today, by the time

2207
01:54:20,320 --> 01:54:22,360
Speaker 4: we get to kick off tomorrow, you will have some

2208
01:54:22,560 --> 01:54:26,000
Speaker 4: CLV in your pocket, and that's the Lamar Jackson rushing

2209
01:54:26,040 --> 01:54:28,599
Speaker 4: crop to be over right now. Betmgm's dealing sixty five

2210
01:54:28,640 --> 01:54:30,639
Speaker 4: and a half again. Everyone's gonna be.

2211
01:54:30,560 --> 01:54:32,120
Speaker 2: Betting this prop. I love it.

2212
01:54:32,120 --> 01:54:34,600
Speaker 4: It's a fantastic matchup, and I think the number will

2213
01:54:34,600 --> 01:54:36,920
Speaker 4: probably land around seventy or so. So if you bet

2214
01:54:36,960 --> 01:54:38,920
Speaker 4: over sixty five and a half now, probably have a

2215
01:54:38,920 --> 01:54:41,720
Speaker 4: decent wag during your pocket because the prop market, especially

2216
01:54:41,840 --> 01:54:44,280
Speaker 4: the star players, usually gets bet at pretty high. And

2217
01:54:44,360 --> 01:54:46,400
Speaker 4: of course I'm taking the Ravens minus three and a half.

2218
01:54:46,400 --> 01:54:48,920
Speaker 4: They've got the better defense. I know Patrick Mahomes is

2219
01:54:48,920 --> 01:54:52,680
Speaker 4: the great equalizer, but this is Baltimore's year. They are

2220
01:54:52,720 --> 01:54:54,160
Speaker 4: the better team and they will be playing in the

2221
01:54:54,160 --> 01:54:55,720
Speaker 4: Super Bowl in two weeks here in Vegas.

2222
01:54:55,800 --> 01:54:59,320
Speaker 3: All right, So I'm gonna start with the forty nine

2223
01:54:59,400 --> 01:55:01,880
Speaker 3: Ers De Troy Lions game because I have two bets

2224
01:55:01,920 --> 01:55:02,640
Speaker 3: on this one.

2225
01:55:03,240 --> 01:55:04,960
Speaker 2: First, I'm taking the Lions getting.

2226
01:55:04,680 --> 01:55:09,360
Speaker 3: Seven points, and in San Francisco, I should say Santa Clara

2227
01:55:10,200 --> 01:55:13,879
Speaker 3: because I like the fact that as we get nearer

2228
01:55:13,920 --> 01:55:16,640
Speaker 3: and nearer to the Super Bowl, it feels like the.

2229
01:55:16,560 --> 01:55:18,120
Speaker 2: Competition is evening.

2230
01:55:18,200 --> 01:55:22,160
Speaker 3: Out, meaning that we're not seeing such wide blowout margins

2231
01:55:22,200 --> 01:55:24,640
Speaker 3: like we did in the Super Wildcard rounds.

2232
01:55:24,640 --> 01:55:26,960
Speaker 2: So I like the Lions getting seven points. I also

2233
01:55:27,040 --> 01:55:27,920
Speaker 2: like the point.

2234
01:55:27,680 --> 01:55:32,120
Speaker 3: Total at fifty two, taking the over there. The Lions

2235
01:55:32,160 --> 01:55:36,560
Speaker 3: since the beginning of last season have had ten backdoor covers,

2236
01:55:36,920 --> 01:55:40,320
Speaker 3: So even if this looks like blowout central for the

2237
01:55:40,360 --> 01:55:43,200
Speaker 3: forty nine ers, the Lions have a way of sneaking

2238
01:55:43,240 --> 01:55:46,840
Speaker 3: back into games and just getting their numbers up, and

2239
01:55:46,880 --> 01:55:49,280
Speaker 3: I think that'll be the case. Even if I miss

2240
01:55:49,320 --> 01:55:51,839
Speaker 3: on the point spread, I think I'll hit on the total.

2241
01:55:52,080 --> 01:55:55,160
Speaker 3: Which brings us to this this Kansas City Chiefs game.

2242
01:55:55,520 --> 01:55:57,640
Speaker 3: They're on the road for the first time in mahomes

2243
01:55:57,720 --> 01:56:01,480
Speaker 3: career in the AFC Championship game. But anytime you're giving

2244
01:56:01,800 --> 01:56:05,720
Speaker 3: Mahomes points, I'm gonna take those points plus three and

2245
01:56:05,720 --> 01:56:09,160
Speaker 3: a half at bed MGM. I got the Chiefs getting

2246
01:56:09,200 --> 01:56:11,120
Speaker 3: points on the road in Baltimore.

2247
01:56:11,760 --> 01:56:16,440
Speaker 2: Okay, I am looking at the Chiefs Ravens first half number.

2248
01:56:16,520 --> 01:56:19,760
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take under twenty two and a half, so

2249
01:56:19,920 --> 01:56:23,040
Speaker 2: fantastic defenses. I think we're making a handful of field

2250
01:56:23,040 --> 01:56:24,880
Speaker 2: goals in the first half. I'll take under twenty two

2251
01:56:24,920 --> 01:56:28,600
Speaker 2: and a half. Speaking of field goals, give me Harrison Butker,

2252
01:56:28,920 --> 01:56:33,760
Speaker 2: oh Chiefs kicker over one and a half field goals. Okay,

2253
01:56:33,800 --> 01:56:36,280
Speaker 2: I like that number. We got a lot of ways

2254
01:56:36,320 --> 01:56:39,760
Speaker 2: to get there. First quarter field goal before halftime. Still

2255
01:56:39,760 --> 01:56:42,840
Speaker 2: a tight game. Late, I think he gets there and

2256
01:56:42,840 --> 01:56:45,960
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go parlay on you. Okay, make sure you

2257
01:56:46,000 --> 01:56:50,080
Speaker 2: got your listening years on Brandon Aiyuk. I'm gonna take

2258
01:56:50,160 --> 01:56:54,200
Speaker 2: over four and a half catches. I'm gonna take Iowa

2259
01:56:54,320 --> 01:56:58,879
Speaker 2: State little college basketball on the money line. Wow. Yes,

2260
01:56:59,160 --> 01:57:02,640
Speaker 2: that's plus one fifty right there. Wow, I you can

2261
01:57:02,760 --> 01:57:07,400
Speaker 2: cyclones action. I love it, so I think there's a

2262
01:57:07,440 --> 01:57:09,360
Speaker 2: good chance that hits. All right, we've got time for this.

2263
01:57:09,480 --> 01:57:09,960
Speaker 2: Let's do it.

2264
01:57:12,120 --> 01:57:19,360
Speaker 5: This is the best play of the day, all.

2265
01:57:17,000 --> 01:57:18,920
Speaker 2: Right, Jared, what is it? Man? Sorry?

2266
01:57:19,000 --> 01:57:23,080
Speaker 4: Chris Niners big lay the seven. They're winning by two

2267
01:57:23,160 --> 01:57:23,879
Speaker 4: or three scores.

2268
01:57:23,960 --> 01:57:26,240
Speaker 2: Brock Purty is going to be dancing his way to Vegas.

2269
01:57:27,080 --> 01:57:32,360
Speaker 4: Have fun, good luck, wow man, Sorry Jesus, we.

2270
01:57:32,400 --> 01:57:35,360
Speaker 2: Are directly across from the other week sing at each other.

2271
01:57:35,480 --> 01:57:39,680
Speaker 2: Hurdy fan club. The touchback rule should stup forever
