1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:00,920
Speaker 1: Oh, what is going on?

2
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:07,520
Speaker 2: Welcome in happy early Wednesday morning. We are all on

3
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:09,760
Speaker 2: the same page now that the West coast has caught

4
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:13,040
Speaker 2: up Wednesday morning. Here we go home day. Hope your

5
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 2: Christmas shopping is complete. You're ready for the holidays, right

6
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:20,639
Speaker 2: to celebrate, unwined, have a good time, maybe friends and

7
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:24,439
Speaker 2: family involved, all that good stuff. Wish you a happy

8
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 2: holiday season for sure. All right, So I'll get back

9
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 2: to DK Metcalf. But more than DK going on in

10
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:33,279
Speaker 2: the sports world. If you've got thoughts, feel free. Eight

11
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:36,199
Speaker 2: seven seven ninety nine on Fox is your number. If

12
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 2: you've got DK Metcalf thoughts. This two game suspension was upheld,

13
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 2: and you know, some people have thoughts on the whole

14
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 2: situation right there, as do I. But I've got more

15
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 2: thoughts than just that. And we'll stick with the the

16
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 2: NFL vibe and coincidentally the Steelers vibe here, because I

17
00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 2: think there's an accomplishment that is insane and a lot

18
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,399
Speaker 2: of us just glossing over it. So the Steelers, by

19
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 2: beating the Lions this last Sunday, they've clinched another winning

20
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:13,759
Speaker 2: season in a row, another one. That's twenty two straight

21
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 2: winning seasons and Mike Tomlin has been the head coach

22
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 2: for nineteen of those twenty two seasons. So for Mike

23
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 2: Tomlin to have nineteen straight winning seasons, that is an

24
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 2: outrageously great accomplishment. Like, not one losing season, not one

25
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 2: year where you lost a bunch of close games.

26
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 1: Look at the Chiefs. Look at the Chiefs from.

27
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,119
Speaker 2: Last year to this year. They won all those one

28
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 2: possession games last year all of them, and then this

29
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 2: year hardly any of them. And that's with Mahomes healthy

30
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 2: throughout most of the season. He got banged up last

31
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 2: week and now he's out for the season. They already

32
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 2: had a losing record anyway. With Mahomes, he was upright

33
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 2: for what fourteen fifteen games something like that, almost the

34
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 2: whole season. Still losing season. That's you know, getting to

35
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,519
Speaker 2: the super Bowl for three straight seasons, winning two of them,

36
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 2: and they were gonna have a losing record with Mahomes.

37
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 2: That's insane. So for the Steelers and Mike Tomlin, nineteen

38
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 2: straight seasons, not one year where he had a brutal schedule.

39
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 2: Look at the Lions Gauntlet this season. Their road schedule

40
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 2: is just hideous. Have you if I just rattle off

41
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 2: what they had to face on the road this season.

42
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 2: I'll get it for you real quick. There's not one

43
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 2: year where the Steelers faced this ridiculous paths. Here's what

44
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 2: the Lions had on the road at the Packers, at

45
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 2: the Ravens, at the Bengals, at the Chiefs, at the Commanders,

46
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 2: at the Eagles, at the Rams, at the Vikings, at

47
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 2: the Bears.

48
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: That's freaking brutal, man.

49
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 2: And based on how things kind of ebbed and flowed, like,

50
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 2: for instance, on the road at Minnesota, it's not as

51
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 2: nasty as it once looked. Right, there's not even JJ McCarthy.

52
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 2: It's the Max Brosmer Show. We'll get more into that.

53
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 2: But still a ridiculous road schedule for the Lions, or

54
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 2: even more so with the Steelers nineteen straight from Mike Tomlin.

55
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 1: A year where you just had a ton of injuries.

56
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 2: The injury bug just hit you hard. Lions last year,

57
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 2: injuries all over the place, right, So they haven't had

58
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 2: one year where they lost a bunch of close games.

59
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 2: They either had a brutal schedule, they had a ton

60
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 2: of injuries. You know, they had some bad lugs and

61
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 2: crazy bounces. Look at the quarterbacks that they've had throughout

62
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 2: this winning streak. You go back, it's been there for

63
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 2: a long time. With Mike Tomley, he took over an nine.

64
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 2: Actually sorry, he took over an seven for Bill Cower.

65
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 2: Look at some of these quarterbacks. So he had Big

66
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 2: Ben all the way up until twenty eighteen. Then it's

67
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 2: well a little bit longer than that twenty one you

68
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 2: had Mason Rudolph. These are your leading passers, Mason Rudolph,

69
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 2: Kenny Pickett for two years, Russell Wilson. Know he's got

70
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 2: Duck Hodges in there for a little bit. Look look

71
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 2: at these quarterbacks that he's done it with not one

72
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:24,599
Speaker 2: losing season. And look, I'm not telling you that this

73
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:28,239
Speaker 2: is like on par with winning a super Bowl. Of course,

74
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 2: the accomplishment that you're gonna get more props for and

75
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 2: more roses for, You're gonna get more bouquets for winning

76
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,479
Speaker 2: a super Bowl. We all know that that's the way

77
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 2: it goes. And when you have all of this success,

78
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 2: you're kind of like the nineties Atlanta Braves, you know,

79
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 2: when you win all these division championships and.

80
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: We're like, well, where are the World Series rings? You

81
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: got one?

82
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 2: That's it's where's all the success world series wise? If

83
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 2: you're winning the division, that's great, but you got to

84
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 2: win it all at some point.

85
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,359
Speaker 1: That's the way it goes. I guess at that.

86
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,280
Speaker 2: But I think this, and this might be a little

87
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 2: bit radical, but you gotta let it digest, you know,

88
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 2: you gotta let it swirl.

89
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: Around your brain a little bit.

90
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 2: But I think that winning having a winning record nineteen

91
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 2: straight seasons, I think that it's actually harder to do

92
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 2: than win a Super Bowl. I honestly believe that. Look,

93
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 2: you can have one year where things are just going

94
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 2: your way.

95
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: Look at this season. Look at the Bears.

96
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 2: The Bears have had and I don't expect them to

97
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 2: win a super Bowl, but they're in position. They're in

98
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 2: position seating wise, where you win a couple of games

99
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 2: and all of a sudden, man, you're in the NFC

100
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,840
Speaker 2: Championship game. You got a chance to make some real noise.

101
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 2: Look at all the breaks that they've gotten this season.

102
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 2: They had what a point five percent chance to beat

103
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 2: the Packers this past Sunday point five before they got

104
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 2: the onside kick. Unbelievable that they got that win somehow,

105
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 2: some way, And maybe I'm getting my dates mixed up.

106
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:09,720
Speaker 2: I don't know if that was Saturday. I think it

107
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 2: was Saturday. It was late Saturday night. Technically it was

108
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 2: Saturday night. A point five percent chance. They have had

109
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 2: six wins this season where they trailed in the final

110
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 2: two minutes. That's ridiculous. They've gotten all these wins, all

111
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 2: these breaks. Last year, the Washington Commanders got a lot

112
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 2: of breaks, one being against the Bears. You know, they

113
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 2: had the hail Mary against the Bears. He had a

114
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:39,160
Speaker 2: Bears player talking smack to the fans while the hail

115
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 2: Mary is going on, and Washington caught it. And look, man,

116
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 2: Jayden Daniels was sensational last season. I'm not saying it's

117
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 2: all luck, but they had a lot of lucky breaks.

118
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 2: The Bears have the golden horseshoe this season. They're eleven

119
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 2: and four. They have six wins where they rallied in

120
00:06:55,680 --> 00:07:01,359
Speaker 2: the final two minutes. That is unsustainable to t and

121
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 2: yet here they are. So the point is, you can

122
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 2: have a season where you're good and then man, there's

123
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 2: a lot of stuff that goes your way. There are

124
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 2: a lot of things that a bounce here, abounce there. Hey,

125
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 2: the Packers recover the on side kick well, guess what,

126
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 2: you lose that game, you know what I mean? Like,

127
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 2: it's stuff like that, and you can believe that you

128
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 2: create your own luck, and there's some truth to that,

129
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 2: but there are a lot of lucky breaks that just

130
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 2: coincidentally happen for teams randomly from season to season, and

131
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 2: one year it's your season, the other year it is not. Like,

132
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 2: for instance, the Lions, this season is not their year

133
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 2: for luck.

134
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: It just is not.

135
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 2: Look at the game against the Steelers on Sunday, right

136
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 2: before halftime, Kenneth Gainwell is getting hit by a linebacker

137
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 2: Alex Azeloni. It's gonna be a pass interference penalty. There's

138
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 2: only two seconds left in the in the half. You

139
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 2: know the Steelers gonna kick a field goal, but instead,

140
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 2: while getting tackled to the ground, Kenneth Gainwell sticks his

141
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 2: arm out, the ball hits his forearm, he just catches it,

142
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 2: runs into the end zone for a touchdown with two

143
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 2: seconds left in the half. You're telling me that's not

144
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 2: an unfortunate break for the Lions. Of course it is.

145
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 2: And stuff like that where those things have happened more

146
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 2: often this season than not for the Lions, and it

147
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 2: is just not their year man one thing after another,

148
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 2: just things are going wrong, snowballing the whole thing. So

149
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:33,079
Speaker 2: you can get lucky one year on top of being good,

150
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 2: and you get in a rhythm, you start stacking wins,

151
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:38,199
Speaker 2: and all of a sudden you're knocking on the door

152
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 2: to win a Super Bowl. I don't want to make

153
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 2: it sound like it's easy, but I do think it's

154
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 2: easier than nineteen straight seasons of winning. That's what Mike

155
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 2: Tomlin has done. I don't think we can gloss over that.

156
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,200
Speaker 2: You know what I think is happening. Honestly, I think

157
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 2: this is the worst franchise to have a winning streak

158
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 2: like this. Four to the Pittsburgh's. They've won six Super Bowls,

159
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 2: they have a rich tradition. Yes, they were horrible, yes,

160
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 2: in the thirties, forties, fifties. Yet we get to the seventies,

161
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:13,239
Speaker 2: they're printing Super Bowls. They're winning four out of six seasons.

162
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 2: They've stacked two more on top of that, since they're

163
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 2: one of the proudest franchise and most respected franchises in

164
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 2: all of sports, not just the NFL. So to win

165
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 2: nineteen straight, have nineteen straight winning seasons and one Super Bowl.

166
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 2: Most people are gonna be like, here we go again

167
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 2: with Tomlin and the lack of playoff success, and that's

168
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:37,319
Speaker 2: what he's more so known for, and I hate that.

169
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: Imagine if Mike Tomlin.

170
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 2: Was the Jacksonville Jaguars head coach, Let's just say Lem

171
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 2: Cohen is doing a fantastic job. But let's just say

172
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:51,079
Speaker 2: Leam Cohen is out of that job two years from now. Right,

173
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 2: things are going great right now, expectations rays and then

174
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, the wheels just fall off the

175
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 2: tracks and we're talking disastrous seasons, losing seasons. He's out

176
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 2: of a job. Okay, just follow me on this. Imagine

177
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:06,559
Speaker 2: Mike Tomlin taking over for the Jacksonville Jaguars. He not

178
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 2: only wins a Super Bowl, he has nineteen straight winning seasons.

179
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 2: What do you think we'd be saying about that guy?

180
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 2: Then we'd be like, this guy's amazing. He walks on

181
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 2: water as a coach. But he's doing it with the Steelers.

182
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 2: So we're just like, yawn, not impressed. Where's the playoff success, Mike?

183
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 2: Where are the Super Bowls? And I'm not saying that's

184
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 2: wrong because he does need that, he does need more

185
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 2: playoff success. He does need another super Bowl, but both

186
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 2: things can be true, like he needs more playoff success.

187
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 2: But at the same time, nineteen straight winning seasons is

188
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 2: an outstanding accomplishment and I don't think we should just

189
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 2: gloss over it. If you look at some of the

190
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 2: best runs in NFL history, there are multiple times where

191
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 2: teams won multiple championships and didn't come close to nineteen

192
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 2: straight winning seasons. If you look at the Steelers, let's

193
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 2: use that same franchise. If you go back to the seventies,

194
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 2: they won four super Bowls in six years.

195
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,559
Speaker 1: Along that span, they only had nine.

196
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 2: Straight winning seasons nine not even half of what Tomlin

197
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 2: has done. Right from nineteen seventy two to nineteen eighty

198
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 2: that was it eighty one, they were five hundred as

199
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 2: not a winning season. They only had nine straight winning seasons.

200
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 2: And this is not an either or discussion. Of course,

201
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 2: you will take what's behind door one, which is four

202
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 2: super Bowls in that span, over what's behind door two,

203
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 2: which would be Mike Tomlin having nineteen straight winning seasons.

204
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 2: This is not which is better, which is more impressed?

205
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 2: Of course, for super Bowls, that's what you're in the

206
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 2: business for. That's what Mike Tomlin would take immediately. That's

207
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 2: not what the discussion is. The discussion is, let's not

208
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 2: gloss over nineteen straight winning seasons as if it's nothing,

209
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 2: as if it doesn't even matter. Look at the teams

210
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 2: with losing records this season. If I told you before

211
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:09,680
Speaker 2: the season, the Chiefs are gonna have a losing record,

212
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 2: the Bengals are gonna have a losing record, possibly the

213
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 2: Ravens are gonna have a losing record, you'd be like, okay,

214
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 2: all right, did all those quarterbacks get hurt in Week one?

215
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 2: It'd be like, well, Burrow kind of did almost week one,

216
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 2: but Lamar he missed a couple of games.

217
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 1: We'll get to Lamar in a second.

218
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, back contusion not out there, unreal. But

219
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 2: Mahomes was healthy throughout most of the year. And they're

220
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 2: gonna have a losing record. It's not easy to have

221
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 2: winning records for that long. If you look at the Patriots,

222
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 2: the Patriots won nineteen straight. They had nineteen straight winning

223
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 2: seasons from one to twenty nineteen, and in that span

224
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,559
Speaker 2: they won all those Super Bowls, six of them. Right,

225
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 2: What a what a run by the Patriots. But think

226
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,559
Speaker 2: about that not in either or. Of course, you'd rather

227
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 2: have the six Super Bowls than the nineteenth straight winning seasons.

228
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:12,680
Speaker 2: But they had Tom Brady throughout that whole run. Tom Brady,

229
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 2: Mike Tomlin had Old Big Ben throughout a lot of

230
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 2: these winning seasons.

231
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 1: Kenny Pickett.

232
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,320
Speaker 2: You see Kenny Pickett with the Raiders, by the way,

233
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks ago. You see that against the Eagles,

234
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 2: seventy five total yards, not like the first drive, not

235
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 2: the first half, seventy five total yards in the game.

236
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 2: Kenny Pickett the Raiders quarterback a little over a week ago,

237
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 2: he got blown out thirty one to nothing. He's had

238
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 2: winning seasons with Kenny Pickett as the leading passer for

239
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 2: two years. Like it's amazing what Mike Tomlin has done,

240
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,200
Speaker 2: and it's weird. I can feel like a collective eye

241
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,200
Speaker 2: roll from a lot of the listeners right now, like,

242
00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 2: oh my gosh, what is this guy doing, like waxing Poe.

243
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,199
Speaker 2: I think about nineteen straight winning seasons, where's the playoff success?

244
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 2: Where are the rings Sky talking about? I can feel

245
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:12,560
Speaker 2: that and it's unbelievable to me, Like you had the Niners.

246
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 2: Think about the Niners in the eighties and nineties, sixteen

247
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 2: straight winning seasons from eighty three to ninety eight, and

248
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 2: think about the quarterbacks that they had during that time.

249
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 2: Think about the era as well. This is not hard

250
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 2: salary cap, this is not free agency. I mean there

251
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 2: was a bit of the winning stream. Free agency came

252
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 2: around like ninety four, right around there, so it did

253
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 2: dip in to that era a bit, but it's just.

254
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: A portion of it, right.

255
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 2: Look at the leading passers Montana, Montana, Montana, Montana, year

256
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 2: after year, young young, Young, young young y. Shockingly, the

257
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 2: losing streak ended with Jeff Garcia the leading passer in

258
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety nine. You know, you went from young to

259
00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 2: Garcia and you went from twelve and four to four

260
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 2: and twelve. Shocking how that works. You know, Mike Tomlin's

261
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 2: done it with Duck Hodges. My gosh, that means something.

262
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 2: And you gotta go back a little while to find

263
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 2: Mike Tomlins's last playoff win. It's been too long. I'm

264
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 2: not here to tell you that it hasn't been too long.

265
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 2: It has been the last time they won a playoff game.

266
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 2: You gotta go back to the twenty sixteen season. Can

267
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 2: you believe it's been that long. That's amazing. That goes back.

268
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 2: We're talking almost a decade since they've won a playoff game.

269
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 2: And I'll never forget that game. They beat the Chiefs

270
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 2: eighteen to sixteen. And this is great hot tub time

271
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 2: machine stuff, especially if you're an NFL geek like me.

272
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 2: Uh So, that game, the Chiefs went for two and

273
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 2: I believe they originally got it, but there was a

274
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 2: holding penalty on Get this, Eric Fisher, he was holding

275
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 2: James Harrison. That's how long ago it's been since the

276
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 2: Steeler have won a playoff game. Remember after that playoff game,

277
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 2: in the locker room, Antonio Brown got in trouble because

278
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 2: he went on Facebook Live and he's recording Mike Tomlin

279
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 2: and he called the Patriots a holes and it turned

280
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 2: into this whole thing. That's how long it's been since

281
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 2: they've won a playoff game. It was the twenty sixteen season.

282
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 2: We're in twenty twenty five. It's been almost a decade.

283
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 2: So I'm not sitting here telling you that Mike Tomlin

284
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 2: doesn't need to win playoff games, he doesn't need to

285
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 2: win another Super Bowl.

286
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 1: He does.

287
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 2: But what I am telling you is the guy's a

288
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:37,479
Speaker 2: brilliant head coach and you give him a legitimate quarterback.

289
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 2: I fully believe that he could have big success, big

290
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 2: playoff success, big Super Bowl success. The problem isn't that

291
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 2: Mike Tomlin is a limited head coach. The problem is

292
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 2: that the Steelers have had limited quarterbacks for the last decade.

293
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 2: They've had that, and yet they still are cranking out

294
00:16:56,640 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 2: winning seasons that at least means something. And it turns

295
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 2: into this like overly complicated conversation where I'm not saying

296
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:11,640
Speaker 2: that it's okay to fizzle out in the playoffs year

297
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 2: after you.

298
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that.

299
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:17,679
Speaker 2: And that's where it becomes unnecessarily complicated. Right if you

300
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 2: just keep it simple and say he hasn't had one

301
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 2: year they lost a bunch of close games, not one

302
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 2: year where the schedule was just brutal and got the

303
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 2: best of them. Not one year where they just had

304
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 2: injuries go.

305
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 1: Lo or ravaged by injuries. TJ.

306
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 2: Watt has missed the last couple of games that right

307
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 2: there alone could have burned them. But what have they

308
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,400
Speaker 2: done the last two weeks? They're like, we're shutting down

309
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 2: the rush Lions. You can't run the ball at all.

310
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 2: Against US. I think they had what twelve rushes for

311
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 2: fifteen yards. The Lions averaged one point one yards per

312
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 2: rush this past weekend. One point one the Lions. They

313
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 2: can run it on anybody, not the Steelers. All of

314
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,119
Speaker 2: a sudden, the run defense is woken up.

315
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,680
Speaker 1: It's crazy. That's without TJ.

316
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 2: White, by the way, and they shut down the Dolphins

317
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 2: very good running attack, shut him down.

318
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:07,239
Speaker 1: Couldn't do it.

319
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,360
Speaker 2: And so that that just means something. That's all I'm

320
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 2: saying is nineteen straight winning seasons should not be glossed

321
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,919
Speaker 2: over as if it's like, yawn, what else is on

322
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:22,399
Speaker 2: the resume? Show me the playoff wins. I get it,

323
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:25,680
Speaker 2: he needs more playoff success, but not to the point

324
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 2: where you just just yawn at nineteen straight winning seasons.

325
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 1: I can't.

326
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:33,919
Speaker 2: I can't describe how hard it is to do that,

327
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 2: To have a run that long, it's insanely difficult. And again,

328
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:43,119
Speaker 2: I think it's more difficult than winning a super Bowl.

329
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 2: And believe me, I'm not telling you that's easy. It's

330
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 2: very very difficult to win one super Bowl, so difficult

331
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 2: to do. I don't want to make it sound like, yeah,

332
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 2: you just get kind of lucky. You get a couple

333
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 2: of breaks and yeah, presto, you win a super Bowl. No,

334
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 2: it's not like it's insanely difficult. Even with how insanely

335
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:04,160
Speaker 2: difficult it is to win a ring, I think it's

336
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 2: more difficult to win nineteen straight, nineteen straight winning seasons outstanding,

337
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 2: and I just don't think that could be glossed over.

338
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,440
Speaker 2: I think it's unfortunate that it happens.

339
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:20,120
Speaker 1: Like that often. All Right, eight seven to seven ninety

340
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 1: nine on Fox is your number.

341
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 2: You have thoughts on DK, anybody who's left wants to

342
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:27,439
Speaker 2: do that, we can do that right around the corner.

343
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 2: Appreciate your patience, you know, I get passionate about some stuff.

344
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 2: Nineteen straight winning seasons matters. I'm standing on the table.

345
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 2: I'm not only pounding the table, I'm kicking the table

346
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 2: as well. This matters, is what I'm saying to you.

388
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 2: the call just a little bit, but he had a

Speaker 2: I appreciate that Stanley, I was I was a I

401
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 2: was a hack basically is what you're saying at the beginning,

402
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:20,640
Speaker 2: and now like slightly respectable. Hey man, it's improvement. I'll

403

Speaker 2: kind words. That's nice of you.

405
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:26,440
Speaker 5: Well, why I told you you were like a whiner.

406
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 1: I was whining too much at the beginning, Stanley.

407
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:35,959
Speaker 5: Yeah, like, just like Jonahs Knock, what a whiner?

408
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:39,359
Speaker 1: Can you?

409
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,399
Speaker 2: Stanley? Can you remember some of the things? What was like?

410
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:44,880
Speaker 2: What were the things I was whining about in your opinion?

411
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:53,399
Speaker 5: Any situations? Okay? Why does Sterrry Jones app to inner feel?

412
00:22:53,800 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 5: Why to me? Let's move on? Okay, the fucking get

413
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:05,919
Speaker 5: back to the Steelers. First of all, before I let

414
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 5: you go, the Steelers have nineteen winning but not winning seasons.

415
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:17,920
Speaker 5: Can you figure that out? Yeah?

416
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:20,120
Speaker 2: I mean I think you're saying they've they've got nineteen

417
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:24,359
Speaker 2: winning regular seasons and they haven't done it in the postseason.

418
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 2: They have one Super Bowl ring. But I think you're

419
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:29,120
Speaker 2: saying what really matters is winning at all.

420
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 5: Nineteen winning seasons but no winning anyways, net Calf in

421
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:44,479
Speaker 5: this but that right hand of that stupid dude in

422
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 5: the blue hair, right whip. He whipped on that. Nonetheless,

423
00:23:52,640 --> 00:24:01,440
Speaker 5: he can now join Le'Veon Bell Antonio Brown being mere

424
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 5: steamers who were really good players, who ruined the whole

425
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:14,240
Speaker 5: thing by their attitude. So he's in that club, don't you.

426
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 2: Think, Well, interesting, Stanley, listen, man, I appreciate you checking in.

427
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 1: It was good to hear from you again.

428
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 2: And I like that you don't think I'm as big

429
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 2: of a whiner as I once was, you know, at

430
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:26,359
Speaker 2: least in.

431
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 6: I love that he stops to think for like five

432
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 6: to seven sites, you know what.

433
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,879
Speaker 2: I kind of like because we're so fast and we're like,

434
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,479
Speaker 2: you know, you know, you know, Stanley just takes a breath,

435
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 2: collects his thoughts.

436
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:42,879
Speaker 6: I prefer that.

437
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's kind of soothing in a way.

438
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:45,399
Speaker 3: You know.

439
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 1: I've this is a therapeutic. I have no problem with that.

440
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 2: But listen, there's something to what Stanley is saying where

441
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 2: if you look at some guys that had a ton

442
00:24:56,840 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 2: of talent, were incredibly productive, but.

443
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,440
Speaker 1: They are getting in their own way, right.

444
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 2: Le'Veon Bell got in his own way, George Pickens got

445
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 2: in his own way as a steeler. Antonio Brown certainly

446
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:11,479
Speaker 2: got in his own way, and now, unfortunately DK has

447
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 2: done that. I wonder what, ask yourself this, what if

448
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 2: that punch landed? What kind of suspension are we looking

449
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 2: at for DK? You know, it's much more than two games.

450
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 6: Did you watch all the different angles of the video too, Brian, because.

451
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:28,120
Speaker 1: No, I've only seen this straightforward.

452
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:30,199
Speaker 6: Okay, I'm gonna send you the side shot of it

453
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 6: on Instagram right now, because I was really confused off

454
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 6: of that because he said he just grabbed his hair,

455
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 6: but in the side video you can see he blatantly

456
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 6: grabbed his shirt and you it looks like he made

457
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,680
Speaker 6: contact with his face. But the guy who got hit

458
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:48,479
Speaker 6: his initial statement said I did that wasn't what happened, right,

459
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:51,440
Speaker 6: He said, I did not get hit where he said

460
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 6: he barely got grazed. And so I'm curious how he's

461
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 6: gonna change it now.

462
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was weird.

463
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 2: It's funny you said that because I read something about

464
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,880
Speaker 2: DK ripping this guy's shirt, and I'm like, I didn't

465
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 2: even realize he was holding the shirt, you know, or

466
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 2: grabbing the shirt.

467
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,920
Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, that's crazy on Instagram.

468
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:13,879
Speaker 2: You know, it's funny. I don't have Instagram. Let me

469
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 2: break it down so you'll love this story. I was

470
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:20,919
Speaker 2: walking into Sofi Stadium for a Rams playoff game with

471
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 2: our guy Lee, Robert delap It was me and Lee

472
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:26,920
Speaker 2: me Yeah, we were going to see the Rams take

473
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:30,680
Speaker 2: on the Arizona Cardinals. And I'm walking into the stadium

474
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 2: and I get a text from my guy Duke. This

475
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:37,199
Speaker 2: guy Duke in Albany, New York. Shout out to him.

476
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:40,200
Speaker 2: He owns Duke's Barbershop. If you're in upstate New York,

477
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 2: go check it out.

478
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 1: Great.

479
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 2: I love the Wi Fi password. He's a Yankees fan.

480
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 2: I'm like, what's the password, Duke. He's like, it's the

481
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:51,920
Speaker 2: number one twenty seven times for their twenty seven championships.

482
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:55,400
Speaker 2: Great password all time. But I thought Duke was texting

483
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 2: me and it was like, hey, man, can you can

484
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:00,640
Speaker 2: you copy this link and send it to me. It's

485
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 2: for this haircut thing. And I'm trying to be number

486
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 2: I'm like yeah great. I'm walking into the stadium. I'm

487
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 2: like yeah, sure, great. Next thing, I know, I'm getting

488
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 2: blown up by all of my friends. Dude, I think

489
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 2: you just got hacked on igh.

490
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:14,919
Speaker 1: Because you got.

491
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, I never had I got I got hacked and

492
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:19,119
Speaker 2: I never opened a new one, you know, I was

493
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:21,640
Speaker 2: trying to recover the old one and I just never

494
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,119
Speaker 2: opened a new one. So anytime anyone sends me an

495
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 2: ig video, I'm like, I can't watch it.

496
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 6: I don't even think you can watch what I just

497
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 6: sent you.

498
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got nothing. Yeah it on YouTube. Okay, there

499
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:35,159
Speaker 1: you go. I can watch that.

500
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 2: I haven't been hacked for my YouTube account, thank goodness yet.

501
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:42,920
Speaker 2: Uh let me get to Eric is in Iowa. He's

502
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:45,440
Speaker 2: got a thought on DK, lots of thoughts on DK tonight.

503
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 1: What do you have for us? Eric, you're on Fox

504
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:47,680
Speaker 1: Sports Radio.

505
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 7: Hey, good morning thought. I'm chying in on with DK.

506
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 7: With all the crap that's still going on with it,

507
00:27:56,640 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 7: I can't believe that they actually decided and shared it

508
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 7: out there that Almos should have been pushed the next

509
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 7: year and done that way.

510
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 2: So what are you saying, Eric, You think you should

511
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:15,399
Speaker 2: have been suspended next year and they like, do their

512
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 2: due diligence find out exactly what happened.

513
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:22,439
Speaker 7: Well, that would be dispensable thing in my opinion, right,

514
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 7: even though I'm not even though I'm not a DJ

515
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 7: metcalf fan or a Steelers fan, but hey, you know,

516
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 7: there just seems to be too much going on with it,

517
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:35,680
Speaker 7: and just like you said, the angles of all the

518
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 7: shots of it, it just doesn't make a whole lot

519
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 7: of sense. So that would be my suggestion.

520
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 2: I you know what, I hear you, Eric. I appreciate

521
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 2: you checking in man. I'm going to disagree with you, though.

522
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 2: The reasons I would disagree are are this a couple

523
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 2: of reasons. One unfortunately, and I hate that this is

524
00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 2: the reality. But there's nothing that could be said that

525
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 2: would justify DK doing what he did. Unfortunately, that's just

526
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 2: the way it works. The NFL can't have any of

527
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 2: its players throwing punches at fans, like, regardless of what's happened,

528
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 2: there's nothing that will come out where it's like, I

529
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 2: don't know, there's there's a micro there's microphone audio of

530
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 2: the fans saying some crazy, crazy stuff, and the NFL

531
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 2: is just like you know, in light of this, no

532
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 2: suspension for DK. There's nothing that could exist. Nothing, So

533
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 2: he's gonna get suspended. Like I said before, the NFL

534
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 2: can't have any of its players go into the stands

535
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 2: throw punches at fans. They can't have that because if

536
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 2: you allow that to happen. That's basically that turns into

537
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 2: your sales pitch. What kind of sales pitch is that?

538
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 2: The NFL is like, Yeah, come on out, see our game,

539
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 2: see NFL action. It's great, but act appropriately or you're

540
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 2: gonna get decked. You're gonna get punched in the nose

541
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 2: if you don't act right. That's not a sales pitch, Matt.

542
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 2: You can't have that as a league. You're trying to

543
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 2: make money. This is a business, this is an operation.

544
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 2: You can't have your players be violent in any capacity

545
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 2: with fans, regardless of what said.

546
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:20,120
Speaker 1: I hate that, that's the reality.

547
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 2: I think some idiotic fans should be dealt with physically.

548
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 1: But that's not the reality.

549
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 2: That's not the world we live in, and that's not

550
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:32,960
Speaker 2: the way any functioning business would ever operate. So I

551
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 2: think you've got to suspend DK right away. And I

552
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 2: get it that maybe you do your due diligence and

553
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 2: you interview this person, and you interview the lady that

554
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 2: was sitting next to the Yahoo fan, Maybe you uncover

555
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 2: some more information, but it's not gonna change anything to

556
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 2: the degree of well, in light of this, we're not

557
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 2: suspending DK for one game. There's nothing that exists, and

558
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 2: so I think it's better for the league to deal

559
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 2: with it immediately. And unfortunately for DK walking over there

560
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:09,240
Speaker 2: throwing the punch, he's he's gonna get. He's gonna get

561
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 2: the short end of the stick on that one. And

562
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 2: I hate that, especially if what he alleges was said

563
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:19,400
Speaker 2: was actually said. That that's brutal. And I don't know

564
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:22,360
Speaker 2: how the fan, if he came close or actually said

565
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 2: those things, how he's allowed to sit there the rest

566
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:30,360
Speaker 2: of the game. That blows my mind. But I'll tell

567
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 2: you this. The bottom line is we go back to

568
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 2: the central truth. Can't DK can't do what he did.

569
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 2: Nothing that we say will change or distort that he

570
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:43,760
Speaker 2: can't do what he did. And the NFL has to

571
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:47,600
Speaker 2: do a better job of policing this type of stuff

572
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 2: where the players don't feel like they have to police

573
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 2: it themselves. NFL's got to step it up. We've got

574
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 2: Andrea in Berkeley. My girl is with us here today.

575
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 1: What's going on? Andrea? You're on Fox?

585
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 8: And as a fellow black cat owner and lover, I

586
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 8: really wanted to call and talk about Oreo.

587
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 1: And oh cool. Yeah I didn't know you owned a

588
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 1: black cat. That's great.

589
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, this is my second black cat.

590
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 6: That's very fitting for you.

Speaker 1: You got your little black cat right like.

596
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 8: A little magical being.

597
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:49,720
Speaker 1: Two of them. So what are the names of these cats?

598
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:50,920
Speaker 1: Andrea throughout to you.

599
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 8: Yeah, I know I had a very special black cat.

600
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 8: I got it Animal Rescue Foundation. It was Tony Learus's RF.

601
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 8: It said people saving animals, Animals saving people. When you

602
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:07,600
Speaker 8: walked in the building was very special. It's it's different.

603
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:10,880
Speaker 8: I think it's called joybound now. So the black cat

604
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 8: was called Diva d easy A. The first one okay.

605
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 8: The second one is called Dove d O v Okay,

606
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 8: both black cats. I like the Oreo because it makes

607
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:28,480
Speaker 8: me think of like Oreo cookies, dark on the outside. Yeah, no,

608
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 8: sweet on the inside. And then I was thinking, it's like, oh,

609
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 8: we haven't Scorpio trifector tonight got you Lorena and Coop?

610
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 1: That's right? How cool is that gangang? That's right? The

611
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 1: gang is back together.

612
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 5: Yeah.

613
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 8: I thought that was kind of a unique, uh trifecta.

614
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 8: And yeah, no, black cats are magical beings. Where did

615
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 8: you happen to get yours?

616
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 1: Well? I never owned Oreo.

617
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 2: So the story with Oreo is Oreo has a home

618
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:01,600
Speaker 2: and we're just staying in an apartment complex.

619
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:04,240
Speaker 1: Right. It was me and my now ex girlfriend.

620
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 2: We were living there for the last year in Vegas, right,

621
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:11,399
Speaker 2: And so Oreo would just slowly we would see him

622
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:14,319
Speaker 2: outside and then he just came by and just like

623
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:17,000
Speaker 2: walked in and was checking out the place. And then

624
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:19,400
Speaker 2: he would hang out. Then we would feed him. Then

625
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 2: he's hanging out every day. He would come over every day. Yeah,

626
00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:24,400
Speaker 2: but he was never our cat. He was just a

627
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:27,880
Speaker 2: neighborhood cat who has a home, but he's sort of

628
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:30,360
Speaker 2: outside ish as well, and he would just roam the

629
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:32,440
Speaker 2: neighborhood and visit random people.

630
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:35,239
Speaker 1: And he would visit us every day, and we love him.

631
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 8: It's almost like a special gift. When the cat us,

632
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:41,719
Speaker 8: she would say, thank you, thank you, you're hearing you

633
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:43,320
Speaker 8: honored me with your presence.

634
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:44,960
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, no.

635
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:47,360
Speaker 2: I was always so excited, Like Oreo would kind of

636
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:50,399
Speaker 2: claw there's like this sort of like metal screen door

637
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 2: or he would me out at the door and I

638
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 2: would hear it immediately, like the TV could be on

639
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:58,279
Speaker 2: full volume, and somehow I would feel like Oreo's there.

640
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:00,959
Speaker 1: I'm like Oreos here, I get all. He's the best.

641
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:02,760
Speaker 1: I love Oreo to death. He's awesome.

642
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:05,920
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, I know the very magical beings black cats.

643
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 8: And there was National black Cat Day just a couple

644
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 8: of weeks ago on Facebook. Brian, I just happened to

645
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 8: notice that. It was like, oh wow, it's always like

646
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:18,720
Speaker 8: black Cat Day here, but it was apparently a National

647
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 8: black Cat as well.

648
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 1: Very nice. Well, I like the I like Diva, Dove.

649
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:26,440
Speaker 2: I think the next one is Dave, right, Like you

650
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:28,399
Speaker 2: got to keep the central theme going here.

651
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 1: There's something along those.

652
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:32,719
Speaker 8: Lines with uh the letters D and like Diva is

653
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 8: like a magical being, like the a Diva kind of thing,

654
00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:38,840
Speaker 8: and Dove I always think of like double peace, and

655
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:40,840
Speaker 8: I don't know, I think it's special once you go

656
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 8: to a shelter and you adopted cat and I kind

657
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:45,759
Speaker 8: of leave them with their names.

658
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:48,920
Speaker 1: I got one for you here, Andrea. How about Dame.

659
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 2: That'd be a great with Damian Lillard, right, Bay Area native.

660
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:54,560
Speaker 2: The next black cat is Dame.

661
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:55,239
Speaker 1: There you go.

662
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:57,320
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think you're onto something there, Brian.

663
00:35:57,680 --> 00:35:58,880
Speaker 1: I think that's what it's got to be.

664
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:03,600
Speaker 2: Absolutely does Okay, Well, Hey, happy holidays, Andrea. I always

Speaker 1: I like that. Yeah, you like that.

679
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:46,240

680
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:47,120
Speaker 6: like a dame. You know.

681
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:49,920
Speaker 2: Well, that's true. If it's a boy cat, it's not

682
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 2: gonna work. The same one about dime dime would be

683
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 2: fine back Darryl, right yeah.

684
00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 6: Dime peace dime, never mind.

685
00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:03,919
Speaker 1: Nicely done. I like it.

686
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:06,400
Speaker 2: Dime or Dame would work very well, I think for

687
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:09,919
Speaker 2: a black cat or an animal in general. Right there,

688
00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:12,359
Speaker 2: All right, we'll get to the coach who has got

689
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:15,480
Speaker 2: a great idea. It's not great for his team, but

690
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:17,680
Speaker 2: it is great for the entire sport. That's on the way.

705
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:09,840
Speaker 2: Ducks head football coach Dan Lanning, he had some interesting

706
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 2: comments here and he was talking about the upcoming game

707
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 2: for the Ducks. They're taking on Texas Tech and that

708
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:21,719
Speaker 2: game will be the Orange Bowl. And this is what

709
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:23,799
Speaker 2: Dan Lanning had to say. He said, the way we

710
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 2: do playoffs in college football is messed up. In my opinion,

711
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 2: this game should be played at Tech. There should be

712
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:35,239
Speaker 2: a home field advantage for them. I totally agree.

713
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:36,080
Speaker 1: I think that.

714
00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:40,840
Speaker 2: College football should do it exactly like the NFL. The

715
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:46,120
Speaker 2: college Football Playoff every game should be a home game

716
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:50,400
Speaker 2: except the championship. The championship, I believe, should be at

717
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:53,240
Speaker 2: a neutral site, just like the Super Bowl. Right the NFL,

718
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:57,440
Speaker 2: every game in the playoffs is a home game except

719
00:38:57,480 --> 00:38:59,920
Speaker 2: for the Super Bowl, which is at a neutral site.

720
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:01,360
Speaker 1: That's what college football should do.

721
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:05,879
Speaker 2: Every game should be a home game except their championship,

722
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:08,359
Speaker 2: which should be at the Rose Bowl every year. It's

723
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:12,480
Speaker 2: granddaddy of them all. Short of that, I say, screw

724
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:17,640
Speaker 2: the bulls, like it's not better for college football. Like, honestly,

725
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:20,920
Speaker 2: which is better for college football? Not Oregon, not Texas

726
00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:24,279
Speaker 2: Tech college football as a whole. Is it better to

727
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:30,040
Speaker 2: have Oregon versus Texas Tech in Florida at the Orange

728
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:33,920
Speaker 2: Bowl or is it better to have it at Texas Tech. Guy,

729
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:36,840
Speaker 2: it's another way to make the regular season matter more.

730
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:41,320
Speaker 2: If you have a great record, you have a high seed,

731
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:44,320
Speaker 2: guess what, you get a home game, and you're the

732
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:46,279
Speaker 2: higher seed. The next round, you get another home game.

733
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:50,440
Speaker 2: It's great incentive to have a strong regular season.

734
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:51,160
Speaker 7: No more.

735
00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:53,600
Speaker 2: Mulligan's right, Like if you're like, ah, we lost one,

736
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:55,320
Speaker 2: how we lost two, We're still in the playoff.

737
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:58,520
Speaker 1: It's gonna be mostly neutral site games. Anyway. What does

738
00:39:58,560 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 1: it matter?

739
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:01,560
Speaker 2: It matters a lot if all of a sudden these

740
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:06,040
Speaker 2: are all home games. Tell me which is better Miss

741
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:10,040
Speaker 2: versus Georgia at the Sugar Bowl. Is it better between

742
00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:13,799
Speaker 2: the hedges at Georgia or at a neutral site in

743
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:19,080
Speaker 2: New Orleans? It's at Georgia is way better for college football.

744
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:22,040
Speaker 2: They should absolutely play these games at home stadiums, except

745
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:25,400
Speaker 2: for the championship coming up next. I hate to be

746
00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:27,759
Speaker 2: the bad guy, but I will be when it comes

747
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:28,440
Speaker 2: to this player.

748
00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 1: Next
