1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:05,760
Speaker 1: Be around the NFL podcast. Who doesn't care about your

2
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:11,400
Speaker 1: favorite team? Not true. That's the whole thing. That's what

3
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 1: we do here. We're actually the opposite of what Money

4
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 1: said some Money don't be a liar from the Chris

5
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:20,320
Speaker 1: Westling podcast studio. Wow, Money didn't write that. He just

6
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:23,799
Speaker 1: read what was written. He's just doing what they say.

7
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 1: It's around the NFL. I'm Dan Hansas, got some heroes here.

8
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 1: You already heard Mark Sessler, Greg Rosenthal as well. Gentlemen,

9
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 1: it is Tuesday, it is six pm on the West coast.

10
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 1: It is December, and COVID still coming for us. I'm

11
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:47,160
Speaker 1: getting a little nervous about this season right now. Big

12
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:51,880
Speaker 1: outbreak with the Browns, outbreak with the Rams starting to percolate.

13
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 1: Uh news about that, and um, Mark, I gotta give

14
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 1: it up to you, the new a t N Insider.

15
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 1: You're welcome to the family. I say, thank you. It's

16
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: good to be here. You did some really hard hitting

17
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 1: work and you want to share some of that right now.

18
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 1: I will. Well, we were you know, we were chatting

19
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 1: the four of us along with Ricky on yesterday just

20
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:14,320
Speaker 1: about the COVID thing, and I just asked out loud,

21
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: I guess over text is that autoued um? How many

22
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 1: cases have there been in terms of miss games this

23
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 1: year versus where we were a year ago? Would you

24
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 1: like to know the answer to that? I follow you

25
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 1: on Twitter? But yes, so I know. Okay, So let's

26
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: move on. Oh no, I do, I do? I do? Well?

27
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: You said this is a really good tweet in our sleep.

28
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 1: You're relying to me when you said that. Anyways, I

29
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: will get to like it was kind of like a

30
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: quasi off day and you were like digging through with

31
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 1: NFL media research on this COVID story. I was curious.

32
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: It was a good question. All right, Well how about this?

33
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 1: So two hundred and sixty two games have been missed

34
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: through week fourteen, where there's a lot of nonsense to

35
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: come at this time last year nine, so you know,

36
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: similar a slower place. Well, we're catching out Monday there

37
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 1: was thirty seven players tested positive. That was before Odell

38
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 1: Beckham in in a ton of other players on Tuesday,

39
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: and that was the most in any single day. And

40
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 1: if you look at the NBA, it sort of happened

41
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:17,399
Speaker 1: to them a week earlier, like they've had games pushback canceled,

42
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: entire teams like the bowls have been wiped out and

43
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 1: so it feels like it's coming. Yeah, it's it's something

44
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: unfortunately that is a part of this season as it

45
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 1: was part of last season, and we just hope because

46
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: obviously competitive balances shifted and we're gonna get to like

47
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 1: Monday Night football obviously where the best cornerback in football,

48
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,919
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey taken out of action. It just it just

49
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 1: feels inevitable that this is going to become um maybe

50
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: in every game situation where someone is going to be missing,

51
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 1: and you don't want it to be that way, but

52
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 1: that's just the world we live in right now. Today's

53
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 1: show will be UM a good one because in addition

54
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: to a really fun Monday night game, we had a

55
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: great we have a great Thursday night football match coming up,

56
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,239
Speaker 1: Chiefs and Chargers. We're gonna have the Great Connie Fox

57
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: dropping by here to preview that tilt. It is almost Christmas. Uh,

58
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,919
Speaker 1: we have the elf on the shelf is going off

59
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: in the hands house caused a lot of mishift. There's

60
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: a lot of belief in the house. And then Jack

61
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: also lost his front tooth um, so the tooth fairy

62
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:26,359
Speaker 1: rolled in and it's just like with the fairies. Yes,

63
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 1: we lost the jack tooth in a hot tub last summer.

64
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 1: This one we did recover the fairy. Um tooth Fairy

65
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: took care of that business. Just too many she's she's

66
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: riding in a weird time of year. You know, many

67
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: mystical figures and you know, got Santa, got the big

68
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 1: Man coming. It's like, how about you know, ask for

69
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: permission before you come in the house. Uh, ancient nymphs exactly.

70
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 1: We are the worst. One of the worst parenting gaffs

71
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: that our household UM fell victim too, was that our

72
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 1: child Colton lost his tooth. This was during Corona. There's

73
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: a lot of other stuff going on. Um put the

74
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: tooth under his pillow three nights in a row, Um

75
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: expecting the tooth fairy to come in and drop some

76
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: greenbacks down, you know, under there under the pillow. We

77
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: forgot three nights in a row to pay to pay off.

78
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: And so where does that leave a child that well,

79
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: a lot of trust issues for starters. Well, there's no

80
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: doubt believe though they're still believing the tooth. I think

81
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 1: it shook um any it shook faith that the tooth

82
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: fairy acted, you know, um, in a professional manner. It

83
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 1: should be stated that a lot of people are listening

84
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: to this podcast in cars right now. We don't know

85
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,919
Speaker 1: who else in the cars. So yes, the tooth fairy

86
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: does exist absolutely in this case. In this case, Um, yes,

87
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 1: you're right. Anyway, we're gonna get to all that. But

88
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: just one thing, just buttoning up. Sunday night Mark had

89
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: a really unfortunate gaff um that kind of rocked the show.

90
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: He had the false information about the Raider's greatest blowout

91
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 1: loss and it was ugly, to say the least. Greg

92
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: Mark apologized, Um, but I thought in a in a

93
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 1: that in a way that made me look good, right,

94
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 1: So that's why that's the important part of every apologist

95
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: to make yourself look Okay. Well that's one piece of

96
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:04,719
Speaker 1: the pie. And then you said you were going to

97
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: submit yourself to HR. I don't. Erica had sent me

98
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 1: this message that apparently landed in your inbox, um, and

99
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,159
Speaker 1: she did not. She knows that you don't want it

100
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 1: to be played. But what I feel like we have

101
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 1: a contract with our listeners that this is a show

102
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,279
Speaker 1: that's built on open Just Mark, I didn't want to

103
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: disobey your trust. But I just felt like, but that's

104
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 1: exactly what you did. Yeah, but I just well, first

105
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:33,799
Speaker 1: of all, I'm sorry, but I feel like the integrity

106
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: to the listeners, they needed to hear this. All right,

107
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 1: just hand out the trophies right now for best acting.

108
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: Go ahead, let's hear it. Hey, Mark, it's Tabby from

109
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: HR for starters. I don't find it entirely credible that

110
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 1: you would file a complaint against yourself, Like, let me

111
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 1: get this straight. You said something factually incorrect about the

112
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,359
Speaker 1: Raiders losing to the Chiefs. It feels more like something

113
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: for you to discuss with someone from editorial. Don't you

114
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 1: think it's not an HR violation on its own. It's

115
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:03,840
Speaker 1: more just like another example of you thinking you can

116
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 1: just do whatever and say whatever you please. That's basically you,

117
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 1: isn't it. Nothing applies to you or your behavior. Whatever

118
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 1: you say, whatever you promise, comes with zero consequences as

119
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: you roam around town following one person's rules, your dumb rules.

120
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 1: For example, when I suggested that we get coffee sometime

121
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:27,119
Speaker 1: back in fucking October and you never followed up or responded, Well,

122
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: my response to that is, go yourself. You can't ignore

123
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: me after we had that nice talk in the parking

124
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 1: garage in class Act. Then you have the audacity to

125
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 1: send the stupid podcast bit to me like I'm gonna

126
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,799
Speaker 1: play along with your latest attention seeking piece of both.

127
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 1: What value do you add to our company? I have

128
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 1: an answer to that, none, big guy, loser. I'm trying

129
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 1: to drive on the god forsaking four oh five right now.

130
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,280
Speaker 1: Why am I dealing with you and your idiot schemes?

131
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: I hate you? In class act? Wow, well it's good

132
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 1: to finally we don't need to release that whole thing.

133
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 1: That's good to match a voice to grave diggers. Uh

134
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 1: date to the as West would have said back in

135
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 1: the date, A lot of performative expletives there, but I

136
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 1: guess she just you know, Tabby was angry. I'm not

137
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: saying a thing because that's the HR person. And then

138
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 1: you see how you will Well, it seems like the

139
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 1: operation could use a bit of a reset. We'll put it,

140
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 1: put it at that, we'll leave it there. Let's uh,

141
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 1: as you would say, put a pin in that. And

142
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: I'm not saying another word troubling. Let's close the door now.

143
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: On week fourteen with some Monday night football talk. Wow,

144
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 1: that was disturbing. I'm londer center. Stafford play fixed brouts

145
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 1: out to his line. He's got Jefferson Vain president of

146
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: the line, middle field touchdown. L A, what a rocket

147
00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 1: shot from Matthew Stafford saw it coming all the way.

148
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: Oh J B. Long with the call and the l A.

149
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: Rams get it done. A huge win on Monday Night

150
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: football over the Arizona Cardinals. Final score. Gregree from State

151
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 1: Farm Stadium, a place where the Cardinals can't win a

152
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 1: ball game, three straight losses. They're they're undefeated on the road.

153
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,959
Speaker 1: So the Cardinals are part of this story. But isn't

154
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: the biggest story here? Greg Rosent tall well Mark lost

155
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:42,839
Speaker 1: his lock. That's a big story. That is the biggest story.

156
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,079
Speaker 1: Isn't the biggest? Isn't the biggest story here? The Rams

157
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 1: showing life, showing hey, we can be a super Bowl contender,

158
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 1: even though some people said there were too soft to

159
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 1: hang in a big spot some people. I wasn't me.

160
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 1: I don't know who it was in this room. A

161
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 1: big spots up. This season is so long and there's

162
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: four games to go after this that this is the

163
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 1: time of year that teams like the Rams who have

164
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: shown signs. I mean, they did blow out the Bucks

165
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: in Week three. Need to show up and be accounted for.

166
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 1: And if you're the Cardinals, it's like a division loss.

167
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 1: You tied the series to a very good team bawling. Now.

168
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 1: I think on in their best game of the season,

169
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 1: and I wouldn't be devastated. But if you're the Rams,

170
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,559
Speaker 1: it's so important because that's the best game Matthew Stafford

171
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 1: played all season. It's certainly the most integrated Odell Beckham

172
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 1: has been as part of the offense all season. The

173
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 1: running game complimented Matthew Stafford was Sony Michelle. That was

174
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 1: really positive. And more than anything, the defensive energy was

175
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 1: there from the first snap of the game when Aaron

176
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 1: Donald threw that guard aside into Kyler Murray to the

177
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: very end. Every play that Murray made in this game

178
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 1: had to be spectacu killer because the guards that really

179
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:06,199
Speaker 1: the interior line of Arizona was just decimated and dominated

180
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 1: and even without Jalen Ramsey, to me, that defense just

181
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:13,679
Speaker 1: made life so difficult on Arizona. They gave Stafford the chance,

182
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 1: and they gave this offense a chance to go win

183
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 1: it and be special on their own. It killed a

184
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 1: flock of narratives that were chasing down the rams um

185
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 1: you know, previous to their bye week and really ever since,

186
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: because no one looked at that Jaguars win as meaningful

187
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 1: on any level. I think it says a lot that

188
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 1: like it's it's almost like this is a team one

189
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 1: of the few teams that will be helped even by

190
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 1: that extra week of the season because Stafford, oh, b J,

191
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 1: the rest of them, they were not where they were

192
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: last night in weeks past. I mean it tells you

193
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: that you know, when you have a new quarterback in

194
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 1: a new system, it is going to take time. It

195
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 1: took time last year for Tom Brady. I mean there

196
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 1: there by week changed everything for them, and we saw

197
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 1: Brady of a couple of bad games last year that

198
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 1: he's not duplicated this way this time around. And I

199
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 1: think that Stafford the questions about him last night were answered. Um,

200
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:00,680
Speaker 1: they want a big game in prime time against what

201
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 1: I thought was the best team in football and the Cardinals.

202
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: It's it shows you the razor's edge they're on because

203
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 1: they're not a mistake prone team. They've overcome their mistakes

204
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 1: really well. But Kyler Murray, who I thought actually played

205
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 1: one of the best games of the Sea. I honestly

206
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 1: thought he was awesome. I know he had the two

207
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 1: bad interceptions, one was a tipped ball, but Cliff Kingsbury

208
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:21,439
Speaker 1: said he was super proud of him after the game,

209
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 1: the way that some of the stuff that he pulled off.

210
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 1: The Cardinals cannot mistake make those mistakes though, I mean,

211
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: he made mistakes, and I think that there are some

212
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 1: killer penalties down the stretch by their own line, and

213
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 1: then the meltdown at the end, the final minute meltdown.

214
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 1: See I I totally disagree. I'm not saying that Kyler Murray,

215
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 1: you know, is a goat or anything or wearing the

216
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 1: goat horns I should say, like, but I don't think

217
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 1: he played a good game here. I know he used

218
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 1: his athleticism to make some incredible plays because he's a

219
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: great athlete, but um, you know, he doesn't throw a

220
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 1: touchdown pass. He has the two interceptions. There could have

221
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:55,959
Speaker 1: been more than that, and it was very ugly the

222
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 1: way the end of that game played out. I thought,

223
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: that's you know, that's that's money time for a true

224
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 1: superstar quarterback. And I thought he was a little bit

225
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 1: out of sorts, and I think it was the first

226
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 1: like punch in the mouth game for the Cardinals, or

227
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: at least at this juncture of the season. And I

228
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 1: wasn't really overly impressed. And I thought the thing that

229
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 1: when I think about like the big picture, look at

230
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 1: this game. It was what happened when the Rams stars

231
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 1: needed to step up and play big, and they did.

232
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,679
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford playing his best game of the year. I

233
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 1: agree with that. I thought he was excellent. The throws

234
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: he was making down the field, short, everything was spot on,

235
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 1: and he was in complete control of that game. Aaron Donald,

236
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 1: I mean I've talked about on this podcast. Come on,

237
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald, take over a game, show us why you're

238
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,720
Speaker 1: one of the best players to ever play our game.

239
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 1: And he absolutely did. Fourteen pressures, he had three sacks,

240
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 1: he had the tip that led to that interception, numerous

241
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 1: holding calls because you can't you just can't stop the man,

242
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,200
Speaker 1: including the key one late after the onside kick recovery

243
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup. He might have two house and receiving yards.

244
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 1: He steps up and Odell Beckham, a guy that's been

245
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 1: obviously I don't love the way things ended in Cleveland,

246
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 1: and I thought it was laughable that they would even

247
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 1: carry the water Forum on that show and report what

248
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 1: he said, which was, I got fired on my day

249
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 1: off in Cleveland. Dude, you quit on your team and

250
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 1: they had to dump you because you didn't want to

251
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 1: play with them anymore. But that's all in the past.

252
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 1: He played really well in this game as well, and

253
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 1: we just didn't see the same thing with the Cardinals. Greg.

254
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 1: I didn't see big performances from them. Well, he's the

255
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 1: number two Beckhams a number two receiver now, which is

256
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 1: kind of huge. Like the Cup is the guy, and

257
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 1: the way the game started with Stafford kind of hitting

258
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,439
Speaker 1: him with jabs over and over and being patient to

259
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,679
Speaker 1: Cup short, short, short, and then he ends up kind

260
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,679
Speaker 1: of going with the Haymakers after that, it was like

261
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 1: really mature, really awesome, and like, you know, the deep

262
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 1: throat of Jefferson, the over to Cup, we're just like

263
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:57,560
Speaker 1: outrageous throws that. Yeah, you you picked on Robert Alfred.

264
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 1: I've been waiting for this Cardinals secon Dairy to show

265
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 1: some holes. They've been so feisty all year, and Alfred

266
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 1: to me was the weak link last night. He he

267
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,560
Speaker 1: got picked on. But for the most part, like those

268
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,199
Speaker 1: took great throws. And that's why I'm kind of with

269
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 1: Mark that Murray played pretty well in that game, aside

270
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 1: from that one Leonard Floyd tipped interception which he just

271
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 1: misjudged it, and Floyd made a fantastic play. Like I

272
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 1: I looked at the PF grades for this game and

273
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 1: I wasn't surprised. Murray had an eight, which is very high,

274
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 1: which is quite high. It's like not amazing, but it's

275
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: quite high. But he had five big time throws in

276
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 1: this game and four turnover where he plays, which like

277
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 1: that's like putting crooked numbers up in baseball. Like he

278
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 1: was all spectacular and a lot of bad too, especially

279
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 1: at the end of it. And what I mean like

280
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 1: with the Murray stuff, I mean again, I think that

281
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 1: he put a lot of great stuff on display, a

282
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 1: lot of the mistake. You can't have the mistakes. But

283
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 1: if this is the low point for the Cardinals, I

284
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 1: don't come out of here shook by what happened. I

285
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 1: think that they they have not been blown out this season.

286
00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: They barely lost to the Packers. My thing with their

287
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 1: zone and I feel the same way about the Rams.

288
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 1: These are teams that I think need to get home

289
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 1: field advantage, and it's not because you're right, the Cardinals

290
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 1: have lost at home. This was a decisive setback. It

291
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 1: put them back to the third seed in the NFC.

292
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 1: They're not in control of all that right now, and

293
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 1: had they beaten the Rams, we'd be talking about them

294
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 1: in a completely different way. But this was not If

295
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 1: this was the floor for Arizona. This is an excellent

296
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 1: football took. It took an excellent effort from the Rams.

297
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 1: They want it felt, It's not like they wanted it more,

298
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 1: but they they played physical on defense. I think they

299
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 1: set a tone. Did you see the look on mcveigh's

300
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 1: face to the whole game. I think that they came

301
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 1: into this thing wanting they needed it And sometimes that's why.

302
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 1: I mean, if the Cardinals end up going fourteen and three,

303
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 1: it's like this is one of those games that you lose,

304
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. It's like, I'm not gonna

305
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 1: be too hard on them when you lose the turnover

306
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 1: battle to to nothing. The two plays to me that

307
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 1: changed the game more than anything. Obviously, there was the

308
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 1: first play. I mean, they first interception, which would they

309
00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 1: would have gone up to nothing and that was the

310
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 1: part of the game where Murray was playing out of

311
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 1: his mind because every catch James Conner's making, every throw

312
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 1: Murray's making are so contested and they're figuring it out.

313
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 1: And then he gets intercepted on the goal line and

314
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 1: got tipped up a couple of times, like his height

315
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 1: was in bit of an issue with some of those tips.

316
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 1: But DeAndre Hopkins dropped a fourth down conversion inside the

317
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 1: five and James Conner has a wide open hole on

318
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 1: a fourth and one at the forty yard line in

319
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. Those are two fourth down conversions that

320
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 1: the Cardinals two best players are two of their best

321
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 1: players on offense kind of just blew it. The games

322
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 1: is a little different if they pick up those, you

323
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 1: know what I mean. There was also a close game

324
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 1: between two good teams. He he had a j Green

325
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 1: deep I think it was on the first drive where

326
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 1: he missed him. He just flat out and missed him,

327
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 1: and that that triggered a field goal. I mean, that's

328
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 1: points left on the board. So they just can't make

329
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 1: those mistakes. That's not been who they've been, you know,

330
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 1: game to game. I thought James Conner was incredible in

331
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 1: that game. Overall though, and I think AJ Green's giving

332
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 1: you more than you expected this season. The DeAndre Hopkins

333
00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 1: thing is something to keep an eye on. Now. He's

334
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 1: getting an m R I as we record this on

335
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 1: his leg and he came out of this game limping.

336
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,679
Speaker 1: But you know, even if you watch that game, you

337
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:08,440
Speaker 1: know that should have been a money game for him

338
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 1: with Jalen Ramsey had the lineup, and he just didn't

339
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 1: seem to have a lot of burst. And I just

340
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,439
Speaker 1: wonder if his leg ever truly got better or if

341
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 1: this is a situation where he's had a setback. It's

342
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 1: something to keep an eye on because he is so

343
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,879
Speaker 1: important to where what the Cardinals do in terms of

344
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 1: the red zone and playmakers when you need somebody to

345
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 1: step up, um. So that is something for fifty four yards,

346
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 1: he has not topped ninety yards in a game this season,

347
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:37,399
Speaker 1: and he's barely practiced for about three years now, and

348
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:39,919
Speaker 1: he got away with it didn't seem to really affect him.

349
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 1: Are you saying good trade by the Texans with you?

350
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 1: He did to that point, did go fourteen hundred yards

351
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:49,359
Speaker 1: last year fifteen catches, so he was fine. But he

352
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 1: hasn't practice. He has been on the Julio schedule where

353
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: he's like always banged up and never practices going about

354
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,400
Speaker 1: about three years, and this year it felt like it's

355
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 1: caught up to him. Can I ask you a question, Greg,

356
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 1: This is something you've said numerous times, and I've always

357
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 1: I haven't really come at you on it because I

358
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 1: kind of saw, do you like Teddy Bridgewater so what

359
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:08,919
Speaker 1: you were talking about? But at the same time, I

360
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 1: thought maybe you weren't given the guy enough credit. I

361
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 1: think Matt Stafford is better than it's not. Like you've

362
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 1: said numerous times, Matt Stafford is who he is. He's

363
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 1: not gonna magically change because he went from one place

364
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 1: to another. I thought this was an example, and we

365
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 1: saw it in the beginning of the season as well

366
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,359
Speaker 1: as no like put him in a fresh setting with

367
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:30,159
Speaker 1: better players and great coaching, and he could be the

368
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 1: guy that everyone thought he was gonna be when he

369
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 1: was the number one overall pick. When he's at top

370
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 1: flight this season, he's a top three quarterback. I I

371
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 1: sincerely believe he's that good when he's locked in as

372
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:43,199
Speaker 1: he was yesterday, No doubt to me. That is the

373
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford experience. That he has three or four games

374
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 1: a year where he plays like a top three or

375
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,920
Speaker 1: four guy. You would think with Sean McVeigh and the

376
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:54,119
Speaker 1: Rams that you'll get more consistency down this stretch. He

377
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:59,880
Speaker 1: was sensational last night in every respect, like physically, men

378
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 1: to leave ball, location, all of it. But I have

379
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 1: seen that out of Stafford with the Lions, like so

380
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,120
Speaker 1: many Lions fans are twenty out how much they missed

381
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 1: them because they missed those Stafford games. But you get

382
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 1: like three or four of them a year, and you

383
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 1: get some inconsistency. And you have to also include the

384
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 1: games where they came out saying the Rams were soft,

385
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:19,679
Speaker 1: when I think the game those losses had more to

386
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 1: do with Stafford. The good thing is like with all

387
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:26,399
Speaker 1: these teams, you know, while I'm in the end and

388
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 1: you got a hit. That's what old Robert McKay says,

389
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 1: played by Brian cox On in adaptation. You know it's

390
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 1: all about the end of this season that Greg really

391
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 1: is with it pop culture succession. Forget about succession. He's

392
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 1: talking cox in Here's adaptation. Here's just like some housekeeping.

393
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 1: Though the Rams will lose the tie break even if

394
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 1: they tie the Cardinals in this division. If the Cardinals

395
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:00,440
Speaker 1: win their Week eight team matchup against the Seahawks. Basically,

396
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 1: the Cardinals win Week eighteen against the Seahawks, they lock

397
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 1: up that division record tie break over the Rams. That

398
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 1: ultimately kind of puts them up one and a half

399
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 1: or two games with four to play. So the Rams

400
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 1: still have some have an uphill battle here and we'll

401
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:17,879
Speaker 1: have to get some help to get out of that

402
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 1: five spot. Really feels like they're stuck there unless the

403
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:23,360
Speaker 1: Cardinals slip up and the Cardinals have some tough games.

404
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 1: I know what happens with these games. Now everyone's down

405
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 1: on the Arizona and we're all flying high on the Rams.

406
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 1: I think they're both excellent teams. But I'm not replacing

407
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,359
Speaker 1: the Cardinals with the Rams at this point, not yet.

408
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,160
Speaker 1: The Rams have been inconsistent. I think they're rounding into

409
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 1: something special. I don't sense anybody in this room right

410
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 1: I have been bearing the Rams the whole time, not

411
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 1: been bearing the Rams the whole time. The Rams have

412
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 1: been up and down. We're now forgetting how they got

413
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 1: thumped viciously. That's I'm I'm saying. It's part of the story,

414
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 1: but part of the whole thing is they're rounding into

415
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,119
Speaker 1: something really good. But the Cardinals are not a problem.

416
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,119
Speaker 1: To me, they're not, and I don't think anybody thinks that.

417
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 1: I'm I think what the Rams gave us last night was, Hey,

418
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 1: we could be as good as any of these teams.

419
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:09,920
Speaker 1: So that was a nice reminder because it's been a while.

420
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 1: They gotta show it to themselves. I think there's five

421
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 1: teams in the NFC that could go to the super Bowl.

422
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:17,160
Speaker 1: To me, it would be a little surprising if San

423
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 1: Francisco got there or whoever wins the seventh seed. And

424
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:23,239
Speaker 1: I think the Rams needed to have that be a

425
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 1: little more than just something you say and like that.

426
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:27,879
Speaker 1: You know intellectually it could happen, like yeah, yeah, this

427
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 1: is a team that could get on a roll. Now

428
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 1: they know it, we know it, we know it a mark.

429
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 1: Let's take inventory. Um, Obviously the lock competition means a

430
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:41,199
Speaker 1: lot to you. What was destroyed in your house too?

431
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 1: You're looking for your first title here, Dan, I have

432
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,880
Speaker 1: a title too, But I'm asking you what was destroyed

433
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:50,119
Speaker 1: in your house while you watch the I was my

434
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:53,199
Speaker 1: behavior was serene, it was freezing, and I was in

435
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 1: my garage underneath there were no blankets, so I just

436
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 1: unfurled his sleeping bag and just put it over my body.

437
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,920
Speaker 1: While I watched that game, pretty said, actually, what I'm

438
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 1: gonna get you? You know what, We're gonna be giving

439
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 1: out some Christmas gifts. I got one coming for you.

440
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,159
Speaker 1: Now that I heard that, let's take a break it

441
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 1: and then hand out some gifts. All right, here we go,

442
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 1: welcome back to the old you know podcast. Uh and

443
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:21,360
Speaker 1: it is Christmas time. Hanakah has in the rear view.

444
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 1: But that doesn't mean you can't send a gift over

445
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 1: to Greg and his people. These are all options we

446
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,919
Speaker 1: celebrate Christmas to. You're a Christmas house as well. I

447
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 1: have no product as well. No hanaka, no hanaka Christmas.

448
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:41,199
Speaker 1: You identify as Jewish, I don't. It's not religious. I

449
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 1: mean through it, I identify as not religious. I think

450
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:48,880
Speaker 1: that you know Jewish. You feel some cultural connection because

451
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 1: my dad was born in Nazi Germany. That was part

452
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,199
Speaker 1: of it, so like that was a big part of

453
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:57,199
Speaker 1: his identity, is family's identity. But never been to a tempo.

454
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:01,359
Speaker 1: So you do not have a bar now, I would

455
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 1: have loved to be It's Greg Rosenthal bar. Mitzvah. It

456
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 1: sounds so plugged, and it would be it would be

457
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 1: an incredible show. But Greg was born age thirty two,

458
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 1: so he could not have been thirteen. There it is

459
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,119
Speaker 1: c connected doubts with the red string. Never been to

460
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:17,360

Speaker 1: for your sad garage football games. I don't feel sad.

00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:39,639
Speaker 1: It's like a total and joy I will. This is

469
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,400

471

Speaker 1: of five stars on Amazon, really good reviews. You might

472
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,159
Speaker 1: need an extension cord depending where you're setting up the

473
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 1: electric blanket and maybe the chords. You know, you might

474
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:56,920
Speaker 1: not have too many outlets in the garage. Right about

475
00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 1: the couch, there's an outlet. Actually, it's it's a perfect

476
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 1: gift based on source of water in the area. There's

477
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 1: a there's an excellent pure water filter in there that

478
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 1: I have delivered, you know, the waters delivered monthly. Get

479
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:11,119
Speaker 1: all snugly in that one. I watch Browns Raiders this weekend.

480
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 1: How about that? All right? Now, one gift is already down.

481
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:16,880
Speaker 1: Do you wanna hand out a gift here? Mark? Yeah,

482
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 1: I will give a gift to Greg. I'm very proud

483
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 1: of Greg for starting up his UM tennis podcast this year. Okay,

484
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:30,920
Speaker 1: here we go. Wow, see what's in there? Oh? This

485
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 1: is great? Yeah, well, I'm giving Greg a weekend with

486
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:37,280
Speaker 1: Boris Um. That would be ex tennis star Boris Becker

487
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 1: al right, who was my favorite tennis player growing up

488
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 1: because of his electric athlete German. Yes, he's still on

489
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 1: the scene. I follow him. Also, he also escaped Nazi Germany.

490
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 1: That's true as well. I think he was on the

491
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:52,679
Speaker 1: other side just by the looks. Okay, yeah, the narrative

492
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 1: it's different there. Anyways, Greg, this is what you get

493
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 1: in a weekend with Boris Um. He was going to

494
00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 1: give you a series of next level tennis lessons. You

495
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 1: can also just hit it around with him. Um. He'll

496
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 1: take three chords of thunder pods with you as your guests.

497
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,440
Speaker 1: He will smoke some high octane tree in the evenings

498
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,439
Speaker 1: with you. Um and all you said tree there just

499
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:15,400
Speaker 1: that was the president in itself. And also he will

500
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,679
Speaker 1: wax your entire body along with the body tactician named Oliver.

501
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:23,159
Speaker 1: These are all included for the absolutely it fits right.

502
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:27,440
Speaker 1: That's the football angle that that would be fun. Maybe

503
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 1: we could have him do like an Australian Open preview

504
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:33,200
Speaker 1: that's generally my favorite tournament, but it does come during

505
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:35,159
Speaker 1: the NFL playoffs. It might be tough to bring back

506
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 1: courts the thunder Then we'll see, but then away for

507
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 1: a week of course. Has had a nice post tennis

508
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 1: career as like a controversial commentary tater who like occasionally

509
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 1: goes a little too far um with some old school views,

510
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 1: but still well loved, you know what I mean, Like

511
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 1: this is perfect. You guys will do great. He's like

512
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:57,680
Speaker 1: that Jimmy the Greek of Greg. Do you want to

513
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:01,439
Speaker 1: hand out again? I will minds more just um you

514
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 1: know generic here, not more football. It's it's for the

515
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 1: Wesleyan brothers and Brad spicer Um the spice rack who's

516
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:12,639
Speaker 1: opening that gift if all of them it's just set

517
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 1: the Cincinnati and it's just opened up and inside, um

518
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 1: is actually a heart for uh Zach Taylor like that,

519
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,159
Speaker 1: like he actually grows a pair here. It gets a

520
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 1: little more aggressive down the stretch and recognizes the quarterback

521
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 1: that he has and stops like calling what is it

522
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 1: the cowardly lion gets the heart, starts stops calling games

523
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 1: as if Joe Burrow is this like rookie ham and

524
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 1: Egger and starts playing to win here because the city

525
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:46,199
Speaker 1: of Cincinnati and their Bengals fans deserve this. Based on

526
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:49,159
Speaker 1: I think it was Nick's texting or was that was

527
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:54,719
Speaker 1: I can imagine Spice Rock sending uh, the still beating

528
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 1: heart of a lion to Zach Taylor or the Bengals.

529
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:00,640
Speaker 1: That would be troubling, Yeah, I could. I can imagine

530
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 1: that because you could say that it's like, oh, they've

531
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:07,159
Speaker 1: already overachieved there over there over under total for the

532
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 1: year here in week fourteen. No, if this thing goes

533
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:13,440
Speaker 1: sideways and there is like a Bengals e feeling to it,

534
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:18,119
Speaker 1: in my mind, um, it'll be horrible. And Uh, I

535
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 1: think he's just got to see the guy that he

536
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 1: has in Joe Burrow and start coaching that one. I

537
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:23,400
Speaker 1: want to say, I just want to make this clear

538
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:25,680
Speaker 1: because somebody had tweeted at me and I even caught

539
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,680
Speaker 1: myself on Sunday and I say, oh, Bengals fans shouldn't

540
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:30,680
Speaker 1: get upset. They have a fun team. Now, I get

541
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,640
Speaker 1: it doesn't mean that like you can't be frustrated because

542
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:38,120
Speaker 1: they they have graduated from league dormat to fun team

543
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:40,439
Speaker 1: with potential. But the next step where they become a

544
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:43,160
Speaker 1: consistent winner. That's what the Browns, for instance, are trying

545
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:45,639
Speaker 1: to do right now that continues to elude them. And

546
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 1: I understand exactly the moment, although maybe there were many

547
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:51,920
Speaker 1: moments in that game, but watching the game on game

548
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:55,200
Speaker 1: pass and over time they roar down the field. Bengals

549
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:58,400
Speaker 1: roar nailed it. I think it's first intended the six

550
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:02,120
Speaker 1: of San Francis go and they run it twice, round

551
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 1: pass and then take a sack and then settle for

552
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 1: the field goal. They make the field goal. But it's like,

553
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 1: if you're a decimated forty Niners secondary and you're moving

554
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 1: the ball, just attack, go win the damn game. And

555
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 1: I get that that and Zach hopefully learns from that.

556
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:17,720
Speaker 1: You think he would. I mean, but I think you're saying, also,

557
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:20,359
Speaker 1: Bengals fans, relative to what you're going through as a

558
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 1: Jets fans should be feeling on the up and up

559
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 1: and you know what that because that was where they were.

560
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: That's fine. But I would say because it sounds a

561
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,400
Speaker 1: little bit game is also on my radar, this Bengals

562
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 1: Broncos game coming up, and that it would feel it

563
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:36,920
Speaker 1: would feel troubling if you lose to the like that,

564
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 1: then it starts starts to get I don't even remember

565
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 1: at this point. I believe you were making a comment

566
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 1: about my fandom and the oh well, I think that

567
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:47,160
Speaker 1: as if your team moves into that, we don't totally

568
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 1: rot category. We have some hope. You're you change is

569
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:52,479
Speaker 1: a fan pretty quick. You want more and more. You're

570
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 1: not sitting there in satisfied ville. I get that. UM

571
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 1: I will hand out Greg. You deserve it. Another gift.

572
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 1: You've been a very good boy. He's you know, he's

573
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 1: a man that celebrates Christmas. So I will open up,

574
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 1: do a good job with it. Look at those hands

575
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 1: at work, tearing those hold the rain. UM I have

576
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 1: gifted to you as you could see their uncomplicated love

577
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 1: for the Patriots. I've been tracking this with you, I think, Mark,

578
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 1: we haven't had a private conversation, but I know you

579
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 1: have sensed it as well that Greg for some reason.

580
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 1: But but there is a reason. I think I know

581
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 1: what it is, because Greg likes to play the game like,

582
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 1: you don't know what's going on in my head. Ever

583
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 1: I do. I do know what's going on in that

584
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 1: breaks the gain the game I'm playing, and you don't

585
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 1: know my game. And what's going on with Greg is

586
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 1: Greg is He's a He's a serious football analyst, and

587
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 1: he looks around the landscape and he says, like, how

588
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 1: many of these people that I respect in the game,

589
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 1: like have a favorite team. It's like, no, I think

590
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:00,080
Speaker 1: it's time for me to move away from that. I

591
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 1: think that's what he was attempting to do. Once Brady

592
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 1: left town and the dynasty ended, I got what else

593
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:10,000
Speaker 1: could I ever ask for? Six rings, all these endless memories,

594
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 1: both as a professional and as a just a straight fan.

595
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 1: And it was a clean break. So now I could

596
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 1: be the analyst that doesn't have a fandom. I root

597
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 1: for all teams, I root for stories that old gang

598
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 1: But then what happened. Bill made some great draft picks,

599
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 1: some deft signings, and here we are again with the

600
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:32,960
Speaker 1: Patriots team that is uh lovable to the people of

601
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 1: New England, that is a bit of an underdog outfit,

602
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 1: with a young quarterback that's got a lot of moxie

603
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 1: and potential. And you've been negging them this season. You

604
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 1: keep on, you keep on saying, oh, well, this is good.

605
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 1: They're good, but maybe not that good. Every week, every

606
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 1: time they get a big win, a little nagging, a

607
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:51,680
Speaker 1: little nagging, a little nagging. Maybe it's time to make

608
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:54,880
Speaker 1: your love uncomplicated again, get away from the what do

609
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 1: I need to do professionally to be the analysts that

610
00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:00,240
Speaker 1: people will respect the most, and just say I'll aways,

611
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 1: aren't I No, I mean I want I I enjoy

612
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:14,600
Speaker 1: this more when I do love like the teams and

613
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 1: a lot in teams and players, and my love for

614
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 1: a lot of these teams. There it goes away. But

615
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 1: it's not complicated. I wish I kind of wish I

616
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 1: had it. I mean, it's sort of the other way around.

617
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 1: Like Emmachus talked to me about it, like you're not

618
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 1: really that into the Patriots. I kind of wish I

619
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 1: had I wish I liked them as much as the

620
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 1: Mark like them this year. I don't know, it's not

621
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:39,959
Speaker 1: there like totally. Well, it's an honest response, but Dan

622
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 1: is giving you a gift that will allow you to

623
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 1: feel that again, that's what the special I'm not against it,

624
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 1: but I like, I kind of. I mean, you're on

625
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 1: point that I'm not like that into the Patriots, but

626
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 1: that's more of like a shameful thing than something I'm

627
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 1: like looking. So I'm not anything with you having a

628
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 1: chance of clean break and changing the way you frame

629
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 1: your football viewing experience at this stage in your life.

630
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 1: I don't you think I like have a lot of

631
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 1: teams that I'm like overly emotional about, and I would

632
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 1: put that, I would put them in that mix, but

633
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 1: it's not the same. I'm not like it's more embarrassing

634
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:18,760
Speaker 1: than anything that I'm not that into the Patriots. All right,

635
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 1: before we go to Mark, I just want to quickly Eric,

636
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 1: I want to give you a gift. Everything's gonna be

645
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 1: I've got a gift for Ricky too that I think

646
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 1: a little bit more trenchant. Okay, that's important. Yeah, that's

647
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 1: expects very functional gift that you gave that would keep

648
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 1: that dog in business and giving legit good gifts, useful gifts.

649
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 1: I say, Blant is gonna literally save Mark's life to

650
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:24,840
Speaker 1: our group last night, to Mark and said, coming from

651
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 1: a man in a grown man in a blanket in

652
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 1: his garage, that's my house. You're sending first trap photos

653
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 1: of like your legs and blankets last night watching this,

654
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:39,720
Speaker 1: that's how you respond to give that. You know the

655
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 1: stories of the guy. The wife kicks him out of

656
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 1: the house and he goes and like rents the U

657
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 1: haul temporary storage unit and lives out of there until

658
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:50,160
Speaker 1: he gets busted. Like Mark just practicing. Well, it's getting close,

659
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 1: that's hitting close to home. To be honest, can I

660
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 1: give this gift to Ricky. It's a two part gift.

661
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:56,760

690
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:37,759
Speaker 1: health in the form of the Browns winning the rest

691
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:40,400
Speaker 1: of their games. Not it's not for Mark, it's actually

692
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:44,279
Speaker 1: for us. Um. If the Browns continue to win, like,

693
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:47,839
Speaker 1: we're all happier. I mean the Super Bowl, right, Dan

694
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:51,680
Speaker 1: was watching that game the other week, you know, last Sunday,

695
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:54,640
Speaker 1: and we're on the edge of our seats hoping the

696
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 1: Browns don't blow this. I'll be watching Saturday, Um, you

697

698
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:05,759
Speaker 1: COVID party and playing this fraudulent Raiders team. And I'm

699
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 1: gonna be a nervous because I know Mark would hate

700
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 1: nothing more than to lose to this sort of Raiders team,

701
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:12,440
Speaker 1: and I want a happy Mark at the office. And

702
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:16,520
Speaker 1: I'm tentatively locking up locking up your brownies this weekend.

703
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:19,480
Speaker 1: But I gotta see how the old shakes out. I mean,

704
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 1: it stepped back to me. I think we kind of know,

705
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 1: don't we, Landry Hooper. It's a lot of play, but

706
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 1: maybe they can if they're vaccinating, they can get cleared

707
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 1: by Saturday. Not looking too hot though. It's funny because Mark,

708
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:33,439
Speaker 1: I did, You're very special to me, so I did.

709
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:35,840
Speaker 1: I have this huge gift for you as well. It

710
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:42,080
Speaker 1: is Browns related and I hope it kind of dovetails nicely. Here, Um,

711
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:45,279
Speaker 1: I got you the go ahead over up, let's see

712
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:49,799
Speaker 1: here lifting the lid off the box. It is a

713
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:55,880
Speaker 1: four year, four million dollar extension for Baker Mayfield. It

714
00:36:55,880 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 1: includes ten million dollars guaranteed money takes care through the season,

715
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:04,399
Speaker 1: and it ties Baker to the franchise for five more

716
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:06,759
Speaker 1: years and a hundred and forty one million dollars. That

717
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:09,560
Speaker 1: is the Jared Goff contract actually from two years back.

718
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:13,080
Speaker 1: And I just went ahead and um, rubber stamp that sucker.

719
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:16,880
Speaker 1: So he's all yours. You got your quarterback. That's my

720
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:20,920
Speaker 1: gift from you. Well, the great thing about it is

721
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:23,239
Speaker 1: then you don't have to worry about all these questions.

722
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:25,800
Speaker 1: Is he the guy? Is he good or not? The

723
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:29,800
Speaker 1: money proves it. It's the gift for years and years

724
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:32,399
Speaker 1: he's the guy and he's great. I'm going to hold

725
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:35,359
Speaker 1: off on the gift that I was going. I'm going

726
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:38,240
Speaker 1: to just press pause on the gift giving at this point.

727
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:42,200
Speaker 1: Wait a second, because you're gonna give me something nice

728
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:43,840
Speaker 1: and now you're not gonna do it. I was, but

729
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:48,280
Speaker 1: I just gave you a Baker Mayfield for guaranteed extension.

730
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 1: But I'm not ready to accept that gift. You're taking

731
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:53,200
Speaker 1: that back to the return I'm just not ready to do.

732
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:55,200
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just gonna sit there like in the

733
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:57,080
Speaker 1: in the spare room, and we'll see, we'll deal with

734
00:37:57,120 --> 00:37:59,879
Speaker 1: it down the road. But thank you so much. All

735
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:02,680
Speaker 1: see not sometimes with gifts, you you have the right

736
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:05,920
Speaker 1: intentions and then doesn't always get received in the way

737
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:09,120
Speaker 1: you imagined it. That's that's true. That's how that works.

738
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:11,239
Speaker 1: Do you have you have one on the fly you

739
00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:12,920
Speaker 1: want to give me like a lump of coal. No,

740
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:15,399
Speaker 1: actually was gonna give you a tow a very quick

741
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:18,960
Speaker 1: two part gift, um one confirmation over the next four

742
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:24,360
Speaker 1: weeks that you have a quarterback and you will also

743
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:28,400
Speaker 1: extend Zach Wilson with the same contract that the Baker

744
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:34,719
Speaker 1: Mayfield received from the Browns on January January, So we'll

745
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:38,359
Speaker 1: never get to that day. Um. Yeah, I I kind

746
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 1: of had this to talk about on the Thursday preview show.

747
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:44,399
Speaker 1: But yeah, uh it's people can tell me to shut up,

748
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:46,880
Speaker 1: but it's never too early to worry about a Jets quarterback.

749
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:51,800
Speaker 1: I'm not overly thrilled with the trajectory of his early career,

750
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:54,840
Speaker 1: and I know he's not in a great setup right now. Uh,

751
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:57,319
Speaker 1: but I'm a little nervous about it. I'll leave it

752
00:38:57,320 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 1: at that. What about this gift minus the contract business,

753
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:02,040
Speaker 1: which was just a I don't know what he could do?

754
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:04,480
Speaker 1: And well, I guess if he played lights out for

755
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:07,000
Speaker 1: a month like and you just saw it, would I

756
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:09,239
Speaker 1: mean I would be over the moon. Although that kind

757
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:11,719
Speaker 1: of happened with Donald in two thousand eighteen in his

758
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:14,520
Speaker 1: last few games. But even though even then then I

759
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:18,839
Speaker 1: would take it because he's really struggling right now. And uh,

760
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,359
Speaker 1: I can't blame it really on coaching. You could blame

761
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:23,279
Speaker 1: it on personnel a little bit, or maybe his health

762
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:26,360
Speaker 1: a little bit, but he is not taking the steps

763
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:29,279
Speaker 1: um where you're thinking to yourself, Wow, this guy is

764
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:31,759
Speaker 1: gonna keep getting better than we have somebody so far.

765
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 1: It's very much open ended at this point. So I

766
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:37,920
Speaker 1: would hold off on the massive extension, uh for Zach

767
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:41,760
Speaker 1: Wilson at this time, five year deal against league rules.

768
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:45,920
Speaker 1: I'm here to break rules for Dan, but the Baker

769
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 1: contract is well within league limits. Yes, but it's not

770
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 1: something that I desired the way that you think I do.

771
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:55,920
Speaker 1: All right, and uh, that is anybody else have anything?

772
00:39:56,440 --> 00:40:00,279
Speaker 1: There you go and there are the gifts of the

773
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:02,880
Speaker 1: on the NFL podcast, I had a gift for Grave Digger,

774
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:07,359
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna I'll deal with that in private. I'm

775
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:11,200
Speaker 1: peeking over at Mark's notes and I see the words

Speaker 1: have in your new house, very very calm squirrel that

780
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:27,759
Speaker 1: could sit with you on the even though I still

781
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:29,319
Speaker 1: have a scar from when he bit me. But that

782
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:32,440
Speaker 1: was that was my fault, that was not his fault.

783
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:39,399

Speaker 1: with Nazi Germany. Um, just based on the previous part

802

Speaker 1: not have to worry about it ever again, and it

808

00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:27,920
Speaker 1: make me one promise? Can you give me one more gift?

813
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:31,440

Speaker 1: out your closet and like making sure that things are

818
00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:48,319
Speaker 1: still in style. It just does it automatically. For what

819
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:51,719
Speaker 1: I specifically wanted, though, I want at least one compartment

820
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:54,040
Speaker 1: or one part of the wardrobe to be like the

821
00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:57,040

822
00:42:57,120 --> 00:42:59,520
Speaker 1: with like the boa for and the I want I

823
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:01,680
Speaker 1: want to wear that on this show. He's you know

824
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:04,480
Speaker 1: that he does all of that like I've learned, and

825
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:07,160
Speaker 1: I've learned that he is. You know that that I was.

826
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:10,600
Speaker 1: I was responding to everything during that podcast, walking around

827
00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:12,520
Speaker 1: like the grossery store, and I was like, no, no,

828
00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:15,440
Speaker 1: that's not how it works. Mark, Well, and I listen,

829
00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:17,840
Speaker 1: I am a naife on that front. So I have like,

830
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:20,120
Speaker 1: I wear like four shirts on this show, and I

831
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:23,160
Speaker 1: need to change my ways. Did you know, Colleen, the

832
00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:26,479
Speaker 1: green shirt I referred I referred to whenever Mark wears

833
00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:28,040
Speaker 1: big green and I turned the corner, I see him

834
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:29,879
Speaker 1: the first time. I always go here. I am your

835
00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:35,760
Speaker 1: little army man. Oh yeah, yes, you are wearing that again.

836
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:41,040
Speaker 1: I've missed you, guys, Sergeant Cessler. All right, Connie, funny business.

837
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:43,960
Speaker 1: Did you think I nailed it with Greg and the

838
00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:46,480
Speaker 1: patriot psychology? It was good. I thought it was good.

839
00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:49,279
Speaker 1: I think I got him to realize it in real time.

840
00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:52,640
Speaker 1: It's been a topic. It was a topic at my house.

841
00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:58,960
Speaker 1: Your gifts are a little stinky, Dan, like they names

842
00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:04,560
Speaker 1: like they be a part of period. And there was

843
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:06,920
Speaker 1: more of my mind, a blank of course I remember,

844
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:10,160
Speaker 1: guess I love that. I love that little guy. In fact,

845
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 1: I kept um it was never clear, but I kept

846
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:16,239
Speaker 1: a little picnic table that I bought that I put

847
00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:20,759
Speaker 1: into the tree. Uh. And then my neighbor rich I

848
00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:23,600
Speaker 1: taught him about the ways of the squirrels and and

849
00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:25,960
Speaker 1: he took it. He took it on. So the squirrels

850
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:29,600
Speaker 1: continued to be fed by humans. That's great, what a story.

851
00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:32,200
Speaker 1: And believe you saved that update till now. That was

852
00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:37,440
Speaker 1: Chiefs Chargers from Sophi Stadium right across the sidewalk, preaka

853
00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:44,160
Speaker 1: give it, turn it up, my head set. Everybody's outen here.

854
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:51,839
Speaker 1: Oh and by the way, it's like cut c come home. Well,

855
00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:56,279
Speaker 1: I am slathered all over this um the project. Hey,

856
00:44:56,719 --> 00:45:00,480
Speaker 1: how many are we? I'm gonna miss the and then

857
00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:03,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get, you know, destroyed about how we suck

858
00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:05,000
Speaker 1: at my job. I think one thing you can do

859
00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:06,799
Speaker 1: is you can take notes, Ricky. When you hear I

860
00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:14,160
Speaker 1: do take notes, Mark, why don't you take a note

861
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:17,640
Speaker 1: that was a gift for me? That right there, Uh,

862
00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:20,800
Speaker 1: just a little time code and then that way exactly

863
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:22,640
Speaker 1: it's right there in front of you. You You don't have

864
00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:27,200
Speaker 1: to Josh's going to murder you. I'm staying in this room. Yeah,

865
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:30,640
Speaker 1: just a little update the project that got cooking behind

866
00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:34,759
Speaker 1: the scenes, a reworked version. Remember when um Paul McCartney

867
00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:38,000
Speaker 1: was really upset with the Phil Specter Let It Be

868
00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:39,880
Speaker 1: album that had all this production on it, so he

869
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:43,319
Speaker 1: released it was called Let It Be Ellipses Naked and

870
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:45,440
Speaker 1: it was like a stripped down version. We will have

871
00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:49,160
Speaker 1: a stripped down version of that pan hit at some

872
00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:51,399
Speaker 1: point end of the season, and we have a very

873
00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:55,440
Speaker 1: special musical artist handling handling the duties. It won't be Priana,

874
00:45:55,680 --> 00:45:57,759
Speaker 1: but she wasn't my first choice anyway. And talk about

875
00:45:57,760 --> 00:46:00,560
Speaker 1: a Christmas gift, holiday gift depending on what holiday you

876
00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:04,040
Speaker 1: or whatever it is you're in supportive. Very good mark. Alright.

877
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:12,480
Speaker 1: The Chargers coming off a wamping, the Chiefs are nine

878
00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:16,520
Speaker 1: and four lead the NFC West. Uh, one of three

879
00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:19,160
Speaker 1: teams in the a f C. Did you know that

880
00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:21,799
Speaker 1: this is the first time in the history of our

881
00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:25,439
Speaker 1: league since conference play began in nineteen seventy that there's

882
00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:29,319
Speaker 1: a three way tie record wise a top both conferences

883
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:34,080
Speaker 1: entering Week four team. That is it is real? And Uh,

884
00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:35,640
Speaker 1: that old stat that you brought up a few weeks

885
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:37,799
Speaker 1: ago Greg about how many teams were in the mix.

886
00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:40,160
Speaker 1: We are still right there. There are twenty six thirty

887
00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:42,800
Speaker 1: two teams within a game of the playoffs are currently

888
00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:46,840
Speaker 1: in position. That's where we're at playoff spots clinched with

889
00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:50,560
Speaker 1: four weeks to go. That a dirt nap. That is

890
00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:52,799
Speaker 1: exciting to me. So the Chiefs are nine and four.

891
00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:56,400
Speaker 1: They're coming off a really big win as well, Connie.

892
00:46:56,560 --> 00:46:59,560
Speaker 1: So you have two teams fighting it out for division

893
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:03,080
Speaker 1: supremacy here on Thursday night and both feeling pretty good

894
00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:06,040
Speaker 1: about themselves right now. Yes, So I think the biggest

895
00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:10,320
Speaker 1: headline going into this game his COVID and the playoffs

896
00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:12,440
Speaker 1: that won't be available. So I feel like let's just

897
00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:14,360
Speaker 1: get that out of the way off the bat, because

898
00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:17,560
Speaker 1: Chris Jones was added to the COVID list and it's

899
00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:19,719
Speaker 1: still unclear if he'll be able to come back in

900
00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:23,759
Speaker 1: time unless it's of like false positive. Yeah, that's that's

901
00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:27,239
Speaker 1: one of the most talented defensive players. He's been amazing

902
00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:30,520
Speaker 1: With Frank Clark, they've been all over quarterbacks. So that's

903
00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:32,799
Speaker 1: going to be really important because on the other side

904
00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:36,120
Speaker 1: of things, Rashawn Slater the Chargers left tackle. He also

905
00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:40,560
Speaker 1: tested positive for COVID. So when I saw that, UM thinking, okay,

906
00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:42,759
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert, if he doesn't have his left tackle, this

907
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:44,600
Speaker 1: is going to be an issue with Chris Jones and

908
00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:46,760
Speaker 1: Frank Clark on the other side. But now it's almost

909
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:50,960
Speaker 1: a little bit even because of those two guys being out. Additionally,

910
00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:55,879
Speaker 1: Josh Gordon tested positive, the Chiefs wide receiver, and then

911
00:47:56,000 --> 00:48:01,080
Speaker 1: you have probably hanging out with Manzel Baby who knows um.

912
00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:03,520
Speaker 1: So there's there's a lot of guys who whether it's

913
00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:06,000
Speaker 1: through injury or COVID, their status is up in the air.

914
00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:08,719
Speaker 1: Austin Ekeler, we saw that the Chargers running back. He

915
00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:12,160
Speaker 1: heard his ankle um a short week, so we're gonna

916
00:48:12,520 --> 00:48:14,879
Speaker 1: monitor his status. We're gonna see how he does. But

917
00:48:15,360 --> 00:48:18,239
Speaker 1: there's there's so many things to look at in this game.

918
00:48:18,320 --> 00:48:20,360
Speaker 1: For me, I've been looking at the Chiefs defense because

919
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:23,120
Speaker 1: who hasn't and they've sort of risen from the dead,

920
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:27,000
Speaker 1: which is why it's such a huge, huge it's just

921
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:29,799
Speaker 1: Chris losing Chris Jones if they do in fact not

922
00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:33,120
Speaker 1: have him for this game, it's massive. It's defense they've

923
00:48:33,160 --> 00:48:36,319
Speaker 1: played so well, causing five turnovers in that last game

924
00:48:36,360 --> 00:48:38,759
Speaker 1: against the Raiders. They've allowed more than twenty points just

925
00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:41,400
Speaker 1: once since Week five, um not at all during the

926
00:48:41,440 --> 00:48:44,120
Speaker 1: six game winning streaks. So they've done a really great

927
00:48:44,200 --> 00:48:47,600
Speaker 1: job taking pressure off of Mahomes with the takeaways the

928
00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:50,520
Speaker 1: points scored off of those, giving him and the offense

929
00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:53,600
Speaker 1: a short field, so he hasn't had to do all

930
00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:55,400
Speaker 1: of the things that he was doing earlier in the

931
00:48:55,440 --> 00:48:58,880
Speaker 1: season and pressing and doing that. He looks and this

932
00:48:58,960 --> 00:49:02,360
Speaker 1: offense in general, they look efficient. They're spreading the ball around,

933
00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:04,760
Speaker 1: they're moving the ball well. They've been great on third down,

934
00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:07,120
Speaker 1: So we'll have to see how that plays out without

935
00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:10,840
Speaker 1: Chris Jones. That's what changed about the Chiefs more than

936
00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:15,359
Speaker 1: anything was Chris Jones turned back into Chris Jones, one

937
00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:17,719
Speaker 1: of the best interior defensive lineman in league. Frank Clark,

938
00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:20,600
Speaker 1: who was terrible for about a month and a half

939
00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:23,960
Speaker 1: in this season like a net huge negative, turned back

940
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:26,759
Speaker 1: into Frank Clark. And Melvin Ingram was a great pick up,

941
00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:30,200
Speaker 1: Like thank you Steelers. He he has really helped in

942
00:49:30,280 --> 00:49:33,200
Speaker 1: terms of their interior rush. And when I saw Rachion

943
00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:36,080
Speaker 1: Slater's out, I thought, oh, I was because I was thinking,

944
00:49:36,080 --> 00:49:38,360
Speaker 1: I'm picking the Chargers in this game, and then I

945
00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:41,560
Speaker 1: saw that and I, you know, I started to lose

946
00:49:41,600 --> 00:49:44,000
Speaker 1: my nerve a little bit because Storm Norton is their

947
00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:45,960
Speaker 1: right tackle a little bit of a problem. Then if

948
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:48,960
Speaker 1: you've got a problem at left tackle, yeah, you get

949
00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:51,719
Speaker 1: a little more worried. But now it's like this in

950
00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:54,319
Speaker 1: all of these games, the availability just feels like it's

951
00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:56,800
Speaker 1: so different which team you get on a week week basis.

952
00:49:56,840 --> 00:49:59,359
Speaker 1: For instance, they were careful with Derwin James last week.

953
00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:02,840
Speaker 1: Sounds like hell be back Joey Bosa. They were careful

954
00:50:02,880 --> 00:50:04,480
Speaker 1: with two weeks ago. He kind of came out last

955
00:50:04,480 --> 00:50:07,400
Speaker 1: week and he was fresher, like Chris Harris should be playing,

956
00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:10,279
Speaker 1: Echoler should be playing. But you know, unless unless something

957
00:50:10,320 --> 00:50:14,280
Speaker 1: pops up. So it's it comes down to that stuff.

958
00:50:14,280 --> 00:50:16,480
Speaker 1: And yet we know the Chargers can like go toe

959
00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:18,600
Speaker 1: to toe with the Chiefs because they did it. They

960
00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:20,520
Speaker 1: already beat him once this year in the game that

961
00:50:20,600 --> 00:50:23,279
Speaker 1: actually the Chiefs racked up a ton of yards and

962
00:50:23,320 --> 00:50:25,120
Speaker 1: went up and down the field, but it was the Charges,

963
00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:26,880
Speaker 1: if you remember, at the end of that game, and

964
00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:29,360
Speaker 1: I think it was week three or so, scored the

965
00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:32,280
Speaker 1: last ten points uh and kind of closed out the Chiefs.

966
00:50:32,280 --> 00:50:34,799
Speaker 1: Was like, Oh, is this a different Chargers team? Show

967
00:50:34,800 --> 00:50:37,280
Speaker 1: it to us again and sweep them. This is that moment.

968
00:50:37,719 --> 00:50:39,759
Speaker 1: This is that moment for them, because I mean, they

969
00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:44,640
Speaker 1: broke the Bengals two weeks ago. They absolutely decimated the

970
00:50:44,719 --> 00:50:48,120
Speaker 1: mentality of the Giants by halftime last week. I mean,

971
00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:51,600
Speaker 1: I'm not calling that the biggest achievement of the year,

972
00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:53,680
Speaker 1: but the way that their offense has appeared over the

973
00:50:53,719 --> 00:50:56,759
Speaker 1: past two games answers some of the concerns in the

974
00:50:56,800 --> 00:50:59,719
Speaker 1: fretting over Joe Lombardi's scheme. In general, they are letting

975
00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:03,320
Speaker 1: just Ston Herbert be Justin Herbert. And we have tracked

976
00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:05,960
Speaker 1: the Chargers as this hot and cold, up and down

977
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:09,919
Speaker 1: team snake bit to the last our entire podcast run.

978
00:51:10,239 --> 00:51:12,960
Speaker 1: If they pull this thing off, they go nine and five,

979
00:51:13,280 --> 00:51:15,799
Speaker 1: they take over the division, and they are something we've

980
00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:18,120
Speaker 1: never seen before. And that's what I'm hoping will happen.

981
00:51:18,239 --> 00:51:20,720
Speaker 1: I kind of remember, Greg, you're good with this history stuff.

982
00:51:20,760 --> 00:51:23,040
Speaker 1: A few years back, Bill Rivers maybe going to Kansas

983
00:51:23,040 --> 00:51:25,560
Speaker 1: City in a primetime game late in the season and

984
00:51:25,680 --> 00:51:29,920
Speaker 1: scoring a huge one. Yes, Okay, so that that was

985
00:51:29,960 --> 00:51:31,520
Speaker 1: another I'm thinking of that game when I think of

986
00:51:31,560 --> 00:51:34,280
Speaker 1: this game where the Chargers have an opportunity to really

987
00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:36,760
Speaker 1: say hey, when you talk about the Super Bowl contenders,

988
00:51:36,760 --> 00:51:38,759
Speaker 1: of course it didn't work out for that Chargers team.

989
00:51:38,800 --> 00:51:40,880
Speaker 1: Has never worked out for a Chargers team when you

990
00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:43,480
Speaker 1: talk about the big goal here. But this team they

991
00:51:43,520 --> 00:51:47,239
Speaker 1: go and beat the Chiefs, and Justin Herbert plays at

992
00:51:47,239 --> 00:51:49,160
Speaker 1: the level he's been playing at recently. Some of the

993
00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:51,080
Speaker 1: throws he's been making these last couple of weeks, What

994
00:51:51,160 --> 00:51:54,360
Speaker 1: a great showcase for him. Like I'm taking my boys

995
00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:57,719
Speaker 1: to the game on Thursday, and they are unrestricted free

996
00:51:57,719 --> 00:52:00,680
Speaker 1: agents as football fans. Um they think they want to

997
00:52:00,680 --> 00:52:03,640
Speaker 1: be Jets fans because they want their dad to love them.

998
00:52:03,640 --> 00:52:06,120
Speaker 1: But they don't understand that I'm trying to push them away.

999
00:52:06,160 --> 00:52:08,200
Speaker 1: But if I pushed too hard in that direction, we

1000
00:52:08,239 --> 00:52:10,440
Speaker 1: will only make Jack especially be like, no, I am

1001
00:52:10,480 --> 00:52:13,360
Speaker 1: a Jets fan. So it's a very delicate dance. So

1002
00:52:13,440 --> 00:52:15,560
Speaker 1: money has helped me out. Got tickets to this game,

1003
00:52:15,840 --> 00:52:18,520
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna put them in their seats, and I'm

1004
00:52:18,520 --> 00:52:22,120
Speaker 1: gonna just pray that Justin Herbert goes to town on

1005
00:52:22,200 --> 00:52:24,320
Speaker 1: the Chiefs and lights them up. And I think it

1006
00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:26,400
Speaker 1: could happen and maybe they become Chiefs fans. Remember we

1007
00:52:26,400 --> 00:52:29,239
Speaker 1: did the fan Redraft took the Chiefs and that so

1008
00:52:29,600 --> 00:52:32,719
Speaker 1: mahomes Justin Herbert. That's just gonna be a showdown and

1009
00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:34,560
Speaker 1: a matchup we've been we getting to watch for a

1010
00:52:34,560 --> 00:52:37,960
Speaker 1: long time coming. And Justin Herbert, he's played so well

1011
00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:41,799
Speaker 1: when he has solid protection, and that's been especially over

1012
00:52:41,960 --> 00:52:46,160
Speaker 1: the last two weeks. He's completing like seventy of his passes.

1013
00:52:47,280 --> 00:52:51,440
Speaker 1: His passes, six touchdowns, one interception. So losing Slater is

1014
00:52:51,600 --> 00:52:54,720
Speaker 1: such a big deal here because Slater is the only

1015
00:52:54,760 --> 00:52:57,799
Speaker 1: player on the Chiefs or the Chargers offense that has

1016
00:52:57,800 --> 00:53:02,279
Speaker 1: played every single offensive snap this year. That's what's like,

1017
00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:04,319
Speaker 1: you know, we've covered the COVID thing, but that's just

1018
00:53:04,400 --> 00:53:06,719
Speaker 1: what's so deflating. Is like I think even for these

1019
00:53:06,719 --> 00:53:09,160
Speaker 1: coaches too, when you find out sometimes the who knows

1020
00:53:09,160 --> 00:53:10,600
Speaker 1: who will be out else will be out, that you

1021
00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:13,759
Speaker 1: have to do more adjusting than when re rerealize when

1022
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:15,879
Speaker 1: suddenly you lose a tight end or a tackle, it's

1023
00:53:15,880 --> 00:53:19,200
Speaker 1: a total mess. I will say this about the Chargers

1024
00:53:19,239 --> 00:53:21,839
Speaker 1: like I they're starting to compel me in a way.

1025
00:53:22,400 --> 00:53:26,239
Speaker 1: Uh that is dangerous. So well, I'm going to this

1026
00:53:26,280 --> 00:53:30,160
Speaker 1: game too as a media member. What do you mean

1027
00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:33,080
Speaker 1: they're starting to compel you in a way that is dangerous?

1028
00:53:33,120 --> 00:53:35,560
Speaker 1: What does that mean exactly? Please break it down. Like

1029
00:53:35,600 --> 00:53:40,480
Speaker 1: I think about them a lot. I mean it's also

1030
00:53:40,520 --> 00:53:42,600
Speaker 1: I can see you being a big fan of They

1031
00:53:42,640 --> 00:53:45,120
Speaker 1: have someone on the team named Trey McKitty. Have you

1032
00:53:45,160 --> 00:53:49,120
Speaker 1: noticed that Mickkitty? I mean that is a Mark Sessler name.

1033
00:53:49,160 --> 00:53:53,200
Speaker 1: If I have to, that's that's a present, okay, but

1034
00:53:53,520 --> 00:53:56,760
Speaker 1: that fits right into this beautiful I want to see Herbert.

1035
00:53:57,800 --> 00:54:00,360
Speaker 1: I know he played well against back against the Chiefs astime,

1036
00:54:00,360 --> 00:54:02,520
Speaker 1: but that Chief's defense at the time was giving up

1037
00:54:02,560 --> 00:54:09,120
Speaker 1: like historic numbers. Since then, when Herbert's gone against a

1038
00:54:09,120 --> 00:54:12,480
Speaker 1: coordinator that's good at mixing up coverages and kind of

1039
00:54:12,520 --> 00:54:14,839
Speaker 1: making you hold the ball like, that's what stuck out

1040
00:54:14,880 --> 00:54:18,040
Speaker 1: to me. Uh with the Chiefs game last week and

1041
00:54:18,040 --> 00:54:20,120
Speaker 1: and really almost every week right now. He is making

1042
00:54:20,160 --> 00:54:23,239
Speaker 1: Derek Carr, for instance, who's you know, a bright quarterback,

1043
00:54:23,719 --> 00:54:26,279
Speaker 1: not being not sure with what he's seeing. And that's

1044
00:54:26,320 --> 00:54:30,520
Speaker 1: what Herbert's done in his down games. And they've especially

1045
00:54:30,560 --> 00:54:33,600
Speaker 1: like attacked like the protection in terms of like knowing

1046
00:54:33,680 --> 00:54:36,000
Speaker 1: who even to stop and they're good on the back end,

1047
00:54:36,040 --> 00:54:39,480
Speaker 1: Like I kind of just believe in this Chief's defense

1048
00:54:39,520 --> 00:54:42,000
Speaker 1: at some point. To your point, the guys that unspooled

1049
00:54:42,080 --> 00:54:48,280
Speaker 1: him Vic Fongio, like Simmer, Belichick and wink Mark and Martindale.

1050
00:54:48,280 --> 00:54:52,960
Speaker 1: For the interesting Vegas has this at Chiefs laying three.

1051
00:54:53,520 --> 00:54:56,040
Speaker 1: They got the wood out for three over under. It's

1052
00:54:56,080 --> 00:54:58,640
Speaker 1: the highest of any game this week at fifty two.

1053
00:54:58,680 --> 00:55:01,000
Speaker 1: So I could see into here. But also do I

1054
00:55:01,040 --> 00:55:03,120
Speaker 1: trust the Chief's offense not yet, That's what I was

1055
00:55:03,120 --> 00:55:05,400
Speaker 1: going to ask you, like, just the Chief's offensive general

1056
00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:08,000
Speaker 1: and Patrick Mahomes, because if they do win this game,

1057
00:55:08,480 --> 00:55:11,920
Speaker 1: then does it become okay? Are they Are they overtaking

1058
00:55:12,080 --> 00:55:14,160
Speaker 1: the Patriots for that number one spot? Like I don't

1059
00:55:14,239 --> 00:55:15,919
Speaker 1: have to look at their schedule to see what they're

1060
00:55:15,960 --> 00:55:18,080
Speaker 1: how they finish out the you know, the Patriots have

1061
00:55:18,120 --> 00:55:21,680
Speaker 1: a tough schedule. The Chiefs is a little earlier. They're

1062
00:55:21,680 --> 00:55:24,400
Speaker 1: all they're all tied. But yeah, I think to me,

1063
00:55:24,480 --> 00:55:27,760
Speaker 1: the Chiefs and the Patriots are the two best picks

1064
00:55:27,840 --> 00:55:32,239
Speaker 1: for the a f C Championship because there if they're

1065
00:55:32,239 --> 00:55:36,680
Speaker 1: winning this way, Like I was impressed or at least

1066
00:55:36,719 --> 00:55:39,319
Speaker 1: encouraged with the game that Mahomes had we go this

1067
00:55:39,360 --> 00:55:41,719
Speaker 1: game will be telling because the whole idea of like

1068
00:55:42,320 --> 00:55:44,839
Speaker 1: that we've heard ad nausea about playing the two high

1069
00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:48,279
Speaker 1: safety shells like that came from Brandon Staley. Like that

1070
00:55:48,440 --> 00:55:53,359
Speaker 1: is what Brandon Staley wants to do as a defensive coordinator. Now,

1071
00:55:53,360 --> 00:55:55,880
Speaker 1: it didn't totally work in when they played early in

1072
00:55:55,920 --> 00:55:58,719
Speaker 1: the season, but they did force a couple of turnovers,

1073
00:55:58,719 --> 00:56:03,200
Speaker 1: like they are the stereotypical, you know, too high shell

1074
00:56:03,320 --> 00:56:05,600
Speaker 1: that's gonna keep everything in front of them. And they've

1075
00:56:05,640 --> 00:56:08,920
Speaker 1: definitely been playing better over the last month the Chargers defense,

1076
00:56:08,960 --> 00:56:12,239
Speaker 1: Like you're starting to feel like Staley's imprint is being

1077
00:56:12,280 --> 00:56:14,680
Speaker 1: on them their run defense though. Still, yeah, they've been

1078
00:56:14,680 --> 00:56:18,399
Speaker 1: pretty good. They've been pretty good. They they've looked like

1079
00:56:18,400 --> 00:56:22,160
Speaker 1: like a more cohesive type of group. And Connie Fox,

1080
00:56:22,239 --> 00:56:24,360
Speaker 1: this is good news too. Just like we keep on

1081
00:56:24,400 --> 00:56:26,240
Speaker 1: here the Eagles, they don't get on a plane again.

1082
00:56:26,960 --> 00:56:28,640
Speaker 1: That's right, you don't have to get on a plane

00:56:28,680 --> 00:56:32,160
Speaker 1: this week. That's right across the sidewalk here. Uh, maybe

Speaker 1: have to remind Colleen to plug the show that we

1095

1096
00:57:04,239 --> 00:57:06,120
Speaker 1: like she does not even realize that she's on it.

1102
00:57:22,680 --> 00:57:25,400
Speaker 1: They gave me a heads up before we started. But

1103
00:57:25,720 --> 00:57:28,360
Speaker 1: I got a text from a g MFB producer today

1104
00:57:28,520 --> 00:57:30,320
Speaker 1: they want me to go back on the show tomorrow

1105
00:57:30,360 --> 00:57:36,520
Speaker 1: because Kevin or Brian Wednesday, he's co He's in the

00:57:36,600 --> 00:57:38,640
Speaker 1: Nate chair all week, which is wild, and they want

1107
00:57:38,680 --> 00:57:42,680
Speaker 1: to do a trivia bowl My office knowledge versus his

Speaker 1: NFL knowledge, ye who I love tomorrow and a quiz

1109
00:57:46,120 --> 00:57:48,120
Speaker 1: you know the office as well as anyone that I know.

1110
00:57:48,320 --> 00:57:52,040
Speaker 1: Here's my concern. My strength is in the early seasons.

1111
00:57:52,120 --> 00:57:54,360
Speaker 1: We've talked about him many times about you know, as

1112
00:57:54,400 --> 00:57:56,760
Speaker 1: the show went on, it lost a lot of steam.

1113
00:57:56,840 --> 00:57:58,880
Speaker 1: So as long as the questions are in that season

1114
00:57:58,920 --> 00:58:02,440
Speaker 1: one to four range, I don't think bomb Guarden Gardener's

1115
00:58:02,480 --> 00:58:04,760
Speaker 1: got a chance here. Yeah, but you need to go home.

1116
00:58:04,760 --> 00:58:07,080
Speaker 1: And I would go home and watch every one of

1117
00:58:07,360 --> 00:58:11,040
Speaker 1: every episode before this contest and throw that out as

1118
00:58:11,080 --> 00:58:14,480
Speaker 1: a disclaimer. It was. It was fascinating and the fact

1119
00:58:14,480 --> 00:58:18,400
Speaker 1: that he threw out there that he only wore readers

1120
00:58:18,640 --> 00:58:21,240
Speaker 1: in that one episode, the Poker one, and he was

1121
00:58:21,240 --> 00:58:23,680
Speaker 1: an accountant and never once did you ever see him

1122
00:58:23,720 --> 00:58:27,880
Speaker 1: put readers on when he was at work. Uh. And

1123
00:58:28,080 --> 00:58:29,680
Speaker 1: that's one of my favorite shows ever. So that was
