1 00:00:01,400 --> 00:00:18,439 Speaker 1: The volume What is going on Everybody? John Middlecoff Three 2 00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:22,239 Speaker 1: and Out podcast. How are we doing? My people? We've 3 00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:25,639 Speaker 1: had a Sunday night game that wasn't great, but we 4 00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:27,560 Speaker 1: watch it because that's what we do, is we watch 5 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:31,320 Speaker 1: football and then talk about it. The Vikings beat the 6 00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:38,199 Speaker 1: Colts and Joey Flacco doesn't look great, and Minnesota is 7 00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:41,720 Speaker 1: now six and two and the Colts, I don't want 8 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:44,519 Speaker 1: to say all but assured to not win the division, 9 00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,520 Speaker 1: but it's gonna be pretty tough for them a couple 10 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:49,960 Speaker 1: games back now of the Houston Texans and they've lost 11 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:54,080 Speaker 1: both games to them. So the Colts have some serious issues, 12 00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 1: and I want to talk about some other teams with 13 00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 1: some serious issues. The Packers got to figure out their 14 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:05,279 Speaker 1: quarterback not throwing bad picks. Caleb Williams not great, Trevor 15 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:09,360 Speaker 1: Lawrence also bad when it matters the most. Eber Flus, 16 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 1: Derek Carr. I mean, today was a rough day. I 17 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:18,319 Speaker 1: go on with Colin every Sunday, So we talked about 18 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:22,679 Speaker 1: a lot of stuff, from the Cowboys to Sirianni to 19 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:27,120 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills, so you can listen to that. I 20 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 1: try to separate some stuff that we didn't talk about 21 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:31,759 Speaker 1: or stuff I want to go into more in depth 22 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 1: than we do today on Sunday Night.

The Minnesota Vikings win a game twenty one 51 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,520 Speaker 1: to thirteen. And as the game was going on in 52 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 1: the second half and Flacco mainly looked like shit, and 53 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 1: Sam Darnold was throwing touchdown pass after touchdown pass. Now, 54 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,639 Speaker 1: he did throw a couple interceptions. In one of them, 55 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 1: you know, it was a really good play by the 56 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 1: defensive back that, as they said on the broadcast, kind 57 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 1: of turned into like Troy Paulamalu did a little freelancing, 58 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 1: went in front of a ball to Justin Jefferson. Good play. 59 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 1: But you know, I guess where I want to start 60 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 1: with this is, you know, whenever you just draft a 61 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 1: guy high and just make him the quarterback and your 62 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 1: team turns out to be really talented, you could have 63 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 1: problems because those guys go well. I had to earn 64 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 1: my job because at most other positions, basically every other position, 65 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 1: you have to earn the job. Right when you're drafting 66 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 1: the second round, the third round, the fourth round, guys 67 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 1: that you sign as free agents, like, everything's kind of competitive. 68 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 1: No one is on scholarship, and even if you are 69 00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 1: a highly paid player, if you do not perform, you 70 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 1: will get benched really really quick and in a lot 71 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:09,839 Speaker 1: of the positions because you're constantly rotating wide receiver, running back, 72 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 1: tight end, defensive line, even defensive backs. The guys that 73 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 1: start playing well, it's like riding the hot hand. They 74 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 1: just end up playing more and then they eventually become 75 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 1: starters very very quickly. Right, there's some offensive line positions. 76 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 1: If I sign you to a big contract as a 77 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,599 Speaker 1: free agent, I'm gonna make you the starter because I 78 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 1: paid you a lot of money. But if you don't 79 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,920 Speaker 1: perform well, we will rotate other guys in It happens 80 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 1: all the time. I will not just roll with a 81 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 1: bad right tackle. But at quarterback, it's like, and I 82 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:44,480 Speaker 1: saw this with the forty nine ers a couple of 83 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 1: years ago when they just named Trey Lance the starter. 84 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 1: It's like, well, Jimmy Garoppolo, who ended up coming back 85 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 1: to the roster, if they just would have had a 86 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:57,920 Speaker 1: quarterback competition, he never would have beat him out. Ever, 87 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,599 Speaker 1: It's why I give Kevin O'Connell a lot of credit. 88 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:05,360 Speaker 1: He signed Sam Donald to ten million dollars and then 89 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 1: he drafts a guy in the top fifteen who he goes, 90 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 1: he's our future. But he didn't even go, hey, we 91 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 1: are going to have a quarterback competition. He basically just 92 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:18,480 Speaker 1: names Sam Donald the starting quarterback, and a lot of 93 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,159 Speaker 1: people are pushing like, why don't you make this quarterback competition. 94 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 1: Probably essentially was clearly wanted to take the pressure off 95 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,359 Speaker 1: of his top draft pick. Now, obviously JJ ended up 96 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 1: getting injured in preseason, so it became a moot point. 97 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,160 Speaker 1: But it's pretty clear that JJ McCarthy could never beat 98 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 1: out this version of Sam Donald if they had a 99 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:44,840 Speaker 1: quarterback controvertial competition. And then during the game tonight, as 100 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 1: Sam Donald's making a bunch of plays, they go over 101 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 1: and show the uh, you know, the camera goes right 102 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,839 Speaker 1: to JJ and Mike Tarico throws it to Chris and 103 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 1: he goes He's the quarterback of the future. They have 104 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 1: created their books to make it about him. Well, there 105 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:06,359 Speaker 1: is no guarantee that JJ McCarthy is going to be 106 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 1: even close to as good as this version of Sam 107 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 1: Darnold in two years, let alone next year. And right now, 108 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,840 Speaker 1: as you saw tonight, Justin Jefferson is by ford, in 109 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 1: my opinion, the best wide receiver in the NFL. If 110 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,920 Speaker 1: you gave every general manager and every head coach you 111 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 1: know a draft pick and they said you could have 112 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 1: one wide receiver in the NFL, I think it would 113 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,839 Speaker 1: be borderline unanimous that he would be the pick. And 114 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 1: he's in the peak of his powers. Jordan Addison is 115 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:41,040 Speaker 1: a excellent number two wide receiver obviously. Now you got 116 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 1: Hockinson back from injury, and Aaron Jones, as collins Or 117 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 1: said the night, is kind of like a receiver in 118 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 1: this running back body. Fantastic player. These guys are built 119 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 1: to win right now and clearly this team, now they 120 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 1: got six wins, They're probably not going to win the division. 121 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 1: I think we all like the Lions, but they're going 122 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 1: to the playoffs. This is a playoff team. And this 123 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:06,600 Speaker 1: is one of those teams that you would not feel 124 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 1: that comfortable playing as like the Atlanta Falcons if I'm 125 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 1: the three seed and they're the sixth seed, like, good 126 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 1: luck of that game. Like excellent defensive coordinator, excellent offensive 127 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 1: head coach, slash play caller, quarterback who has a lot 128 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 1: of experience, is playing at a high level, and obviously 129 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 1: a ton of weapons. I'm not saying that they are 130 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 1: locked to win a playoff game, but they are going 131 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 1: to be a very, very tough out. But how can 132 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 1: you look at any of the players on your team, 133 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 1: especially their defensive guys. Van Eagle's a really good player. 134 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 1: They have some other young bodies up front and say 135 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 1: that Sam Darnold doesn't give us the best chance to win. 136 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 1: And this goes to the Colts current problem of they 137 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 1: made a move this week because they had to. None 138 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,360 Speaker 1: of those guys on the Indianapolis Colts could look at 139 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 1: Anthony Richson after that game and take them seriously. It 140 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 1: couldn't happen. You had to go to it. But I 141 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 1: talked about it with Stucky on Thursday when we recorded 142 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 1: for the weekend. It's like, listen, I like Joe Flacco 143 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 1: and He's a fun story, and I understand why. If 144 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 1: I was in the shoes of general manager or head 145 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 1: coach for the Colts, I would have gone to him too. 146 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 1: But I do think we hold him to a higher 147 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 1: esteem because it's been such a fun story over the 148 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 1: last whatever twelve months. Essentially, he probably started playing, you know, 149 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 1: early to mid November last year, and then the couple 150 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 1: games that he played this year for the Colts. Then 151 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,199 Speaker 1: he actually is as a player, and you saw to 152 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 1: night against a good defense, can't really move, can't add 153 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 1: lib and showed some signs of his age. Now is 154 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 1: he still better than Anthony Richardson? Clearly the Colts believe 155 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,839 Speaker 1: that's so. But part of the reason they got into 156 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 1: this problem when you look at Minnesota, that was like, listen, 157 00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,959 Speaker 1: this guy's our starting quarterback. Now if JJ was so unbelievable, 158 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 1: I do believe if he was healthy, he could have 159 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,320 Speaker 1: beaten him out, But that would have meant he would 160 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 1: have looked like Jayden Daniels or something CJ. Stroud last year. 161 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:10,960 Speaker 1: That wasn't gonna be the case because this was a 162 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 1: project to begin with when you watched him in Michigan. 163 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 1: But they at least like Hey, the best guy is 164 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,200 Speaker 1: gonna play, and it was clearly Sam Darnold. Meanwhile, the 165 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 1: Colts just put a guy in on scholarship because he 166 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 1: was drafted at number four overall. But it doesn't happen 167 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 1: in other positions, Like I draft lot too lat too 168 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 1: really high, like if he's not playing well, other guys 169 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 1: are gonna rotate. I drafted Donnie Mitchell really high from Texas, 170 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:39,079 Speaker 1: like if he's not producing, other guys are gonna play. 171 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,960 Speaker 1: Every other position. It's like the fucking Hunger Games. Yet 172 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 1: at quarterback, it's like, this guy's on scholarship, we draft 173 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,440 Speaker 1: them the top five, here's your spot, and then it's like, uh, 174 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 1: this guy's not good enough. And Jonathan Taylor and Michael 175 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 1: Pittman and DeForest Buckner and Kenny Moore and all these 176 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 1: cats are looking around like what the hell? Man? Like 177 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 1: this is how it works. And I give the Minnesota 178 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 1: Vikings a ton of credit for just running a high 179 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 1: level operation and not finding themselves in that situation. Now 180 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 1: I do think, like big picture, they're they're good. I mean, 181 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:16,040 Speaker 1: you see Jefferson tonight, Like how dominant of a player 182 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 1: is that guy their offense? I mean, I know they 183 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 1: only scored twenty one points. The Colts defense actually played 184 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 1: pretty well. It's just hard not to like all the 185 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,959 Speaker 1: guys on that offense. Devastating blow last week, losing their 186 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 1: left tackle. Good move by the front office, you know, 187 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:35,080 Speaker 1: trading for the dude from Jacksonville, which an upgrade over 188 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,440 Speaker 1: the backup they had who was getting smoked last week 189 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 1: in the second half. But I just think that big picture, 190 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,079 Speaker 1: you got to ask yourself, like, he's gonna let this 191 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,880 Speaker 1: guy walk and go to JJ McCarthy, who you hope 192 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 1: like that. That's not a great business strategy. Keeping your 193 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 1: fingers cross is crossed and hoping. That's usually when you 194 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 1: find yourself in these situations. And next year, if the 195 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 1: kid was struggling, all of a sudden, you would get 196 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 1: resentment from your star wide receivers, from your stud defensive players, 197 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:09,720 Speaker 1: be like, we didn't have to go down this route. 198 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 1: And now the Colts find themselves in this really weird situation. 199 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,320 Speaker 1: What is the right thing to do? What is the 200 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 1: wrong thing to do? Where do we go from here? 201 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,960 Speaker 1: Does this guy really just get indefinite starts or we 202 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,960 Speaker 1: go back to Anthony Richison? Did our team already turn 203 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,960 Speaker 1: on the guy, I don't know, but you watch him, 204 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,000 Speaker 1: n You're like, well, I understand. Minnesota is a tough 205 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 1: defense to play because you never know what's coming every 206 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,080 Speaker 1: other play. He's got like nine guys in the line 207 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,640 Speaker 1: of scrimmage. Collins is the worst, Like he could bring 208 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 1: them all or he could drop eight, you know, so 209 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,480 Speaker 1: you just never know what's gonna happen. And Flacco is 210 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 1: swimming now. Is every defense that good? Of course not, 211 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 1: but like to make a run to make the playoffs, 212 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 1: like you're gonna have to be good teams, And I 213 00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,559 Speaker 1: just don't know, man. I think the Colts now are 214 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:03,320 Speaker 1: in this spot that they got to because of the 215 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:07,200 Speaker 1: way it led up in the offseason when they just 216 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,320 Speaker 1: put a guy on scholarship because they drafted them there 217 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 1: where it doesn't really happen in other position. Now, if 218 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,840 Speaker 1: the guy earns it like Jayden Daniels earns it like 219 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 1: clearly one of the best players in the league, even 220 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 1: Caleb who's having a shitty rookie year like Tyson Badget, 221 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:26,720 Speaker 1: ain't better than him, right, So you but when your room, 222 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 1: you better make sure the best player is on the 223 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 1: field because if you lose the group of players on 224 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 1: your own team, you got a problem. Now, obviously the 225 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,520 Speaker 1: Colts didn't. They were playing their ass off. Like the 226 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:45,680 Speaker 1: effort tonight the game was bad, the effort was really good. Yeah, 227 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:49,200 Speaker 1: I just you know Minnesota. Now they're six and two. 228 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:54,080 Speaker 1: They got at the Jaguars, at the Titans, in at 229 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,960 Speaker 1: the Bears. I mean, there's a pretty good chance that 230 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 1: you're gonna look up and they're gonna be eight and three. 231 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,199 Speaker 1: That's worst case. I mean, they're gonna be favored in 232 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 1: all three of those games. So it's not inconceivable. They're 233 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 1: nine and two. Shows you how good that division is. 234 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,320 Speaker 1: You know, Green Bay rough Day will dive into them 235 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 1: in a little bit, but you know that there was 236 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,559 Speaker 1: a stretch to night where you know, listen, I'm not 237 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 1: acting like Sam Darnold is the second coming of Joe 238 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:22,400 Speaker 1: Montana here, but it's just I've watched enough football to 239 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 1: know just because you draft a guy high, I mean, 240 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:28,720 Speaker 1: I mean, touchdown Sam Darnald throw this year? I mean 241 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:30,960 Speaker 1: I think he had fourteen coming into night, So what's 242 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,680 Speaker 1: he have now? He threw three more tonight, said seventeen 243 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:38,240 Speaker 1: touchdowns on the year. Dude's balling. Dude, Dude makes place 244 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 1: there's an explosive playmaker who's also athletic, and Kyle believed 245 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 1: in it. Now Kevin O'Connell believed in it, and I 246 00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,920 Speaker 1: do wonder if this offseason it could get a little weird, 247 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 1: Like if you're a coach, it's still a pretty big 248 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 1: risk to take with the unknown. You saw with Anthony Richardson. 249 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,120 Speaker 1: They just kept their fingers crossed, and it's just it 250 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:02,840 Speaker 1: was an absolute coaster ride.

Lions Packers, Colin 285 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 1: and I talked a lot about it, so you can 286 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 1: hear us kind of breaking down parts of the game, 287 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 1: and obviously, when Jordan Love through the interception for the 288 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:12,720 Speaker 1: pick six to make it seventeen to three, you could 289 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 1: essentially say the game ended on that give and play. 290 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,640 Speaker 1: I am guilty of this, so I'm not trying to 291 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,920 Speaker 1: act like I'm above this or I'm any different than anyone. 292 00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:28,120 Speaker 1: I get excited. I'm part of the hype machine. I 293 00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 1: love this stuff, so it's easy when you start talking 294 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,560 Speaker 1: about something, when you like a player or when you 295 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:36,040 Speaker 1: see something, to get over excited. I was like that 296 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 1: when I worked in the NFL, and I've been like 297 00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:41,800 Speaker 1: that for a decade plus podcasting and working on radio. 298 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:44,080 Speaker 1: It's just a natural. I think a lot of us 299 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,920 Speaker 1: fans us to talk about it. People in the NFL. 300 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,640 Speaker 1: It's easy to get excited. But I do think we 301 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 1: need to be careful and I'm learning a big lesson 302 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 1: right now of anointing guys because Jordan loves a good 303 00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 1: example that those final eight games of the season were unreal. 304 00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:06,000 Speaker 1: I mean, he looked like Aaron Rodgers. And then he 305 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,320 Speaker 1: plays the playoff game against Dallas and he lights him 306 00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:10,960 Speaker 1: up like a Christmas tree. And he played, you know, 307 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:15,800 Speaker 1: very valiant effort on the road against the Niners. This year. 308 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,640 Speaker 1: We have tried to make a million excuses for him, 309 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,119 Speaker 1: but he throws a bunch of touchdowns, but he lets 310 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:25,400 Speaker 1: it rip. Well, he's the best combination and has some 311 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:29,160 Speaker 1: of the qualities of Aaron Rodgers and Brett Farv. I've 312 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:33,200 Speaker 1: said these things. I started thinking today watching him throw 313 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,439 Speaker 1: that ball to I forget his name, thirty one on 314 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:38,720 Speaker 1: the Lions, who walked it right into the end zone. 315 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:45,560 Speaker 1: Like Aaron Rodgers and Brett Farv combined for seven MVP Awards, 316 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:52,240 Speaker 1: seven I think both would be considered top ten quarterbacks 317 00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:57,080 Speaker 1: of all time. And we throw these names around, and listen, 318 00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:02,119 Speaker 1: Jordan Love, if he is your third quarterback in the 319 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 1: order of those two guys, that's an incredible hit. Like 320 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:10,240 Speaker 1: he's already a hit. But he does some stuff right 321 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:14,479 Speaker 1: now that like his greatness does not rise above his 322 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:18,560 Speaker 1: disasters because that picked today, And listen, I understand he's 323 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:22,280 Speaker 1: banged up, which is also a problem, Like this is 324 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:26,000 Speaker 1: his second year playing and he's already had like multiple injuries. 325 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:30,000 Speaker 1: Today's a day against the Lions, who had a lot 326 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,320 Speaker 1: of question marks coming into the game. Can they play outdoors? 327 00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:39,400 Speaker 1: Can Jared GoF function in bad weather? And then right 328 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,920 Speaker 1: when you turn on the game, and I guess that's 329 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,040 Speaker 1: for me. Now Mountain West time because Arizona we don't 330 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:48,479 Speaker 1: change the clocks two twenty five Mountain West Time. Then 331 00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:51,439 Speaker 1: it's like, oh, this is pretty ugly. Listen. I like 332 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:54,640 Speaker 1: eighty degrees. I like eighty degrees about six months a year. 333 00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:56,719 Speaker 1: I do like the heat, so I don't mind one 334 00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,240 Speaker 1: hundred degrees three months a year. Don't love one ten, 335 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:03,760 Speaker 1: but I like it. I do love my football in 336 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:08,639 Speaker 1: shitty weather like I love ugly football. Not every game, 337 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,960 Speaker 1: but give me a game with a game that matters 338 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:17,000 Speaker 1: in bad weather, rainstorm, win, Like that to me is 339 00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 1: pro football. That game. And historically, I mean the Packers 340 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,680 Speaker 1: they're at home, LAMBA, they're used to it. Detroit also 341 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,840 Speaker 1: in a bad weather city, they played a dome. Jared 342 00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:30,359 Speaker 1: Goff historically bad outdoors. It's like Dan Campbell, he's built 343 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 1: like a hardball brother or a Mike Tomlin. Like that's 344 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:35,920 Speaker 1: kind of the you know under the umbrella that he 345 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,399 Speaker 1: would fall, but it's like can his team, Like I 346 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,720 Speaker 1: know he wants to be able to do it, and 347 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:42,879 Speaker 1: then they come in and they're just the more buttoned 348 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:46,720 Speaker 1: up outdoor team and Jared Goff doesn't even come remotely 349 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 1: close even throwing an incompletion, and you got Jordan Love 350 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:57,080 Speaker 1: slinging bombs down the field like bro in a driving 351 00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:02,120 Speaker 1: trential downpour, and also on floor. We don't need bombs. 352 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,440 Speaker 1: How about just throw some basic routes and move the chain. 353 00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:08,280 Speaker 1: But I do think we got to be very careful 354 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:11,560 Speaker 1: about Like he's got a little Rogers and Farm. I'm 355 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,600 Speaker 1: the number one culprit here, but we do it all over. 356 00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:19,080 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence greatest prospects since Lucking our Way and Peyton 357 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 1: Manning bullshit. I watched Trevor Lawrence and I go, this 358 00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:27,919 Speaker 1: guy's barely a top twenty quarterback in the NFL. He 359 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:32,200 Speaker 1: has been average as the day is long, all year long, 360 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 1: with a lot of shitty mixed in. And what happened 361 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:39,639 Speaker 1: today with Nick Sirianni dying to give them a chance 362 00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:43,520 Speaker 1: because he goes forward, he refuses to kick field goals 363 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:47,639 Speaker 1: when he finally does kicker misses and push pushes now working, 364 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 1: they have a chance to win the game. Trevor Lawrence 365 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:56,040 Speaker 1: throws a pick that wasn't even remotely close to being completed, 366 00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,480 Speaker 1: and all we heard for two years of him in college, 367 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:04,080 Speaker 1: this guy gonna change a team. Well, yeah, because that 368 00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:05,800 Speaker 1: team is gonna give him way too much money and 369 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 1: they're gonna be screwed because he's gonna be an anchor 370 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:11,120 Speaker 1: on their salary cap. We're seeing it with Caleb Williams. 371 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 1: All I heard and listen, I bought into it too 372 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:15,920 Speaker 1: because I watched him play. I'm like, God, this guy's 373 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:19,080 Speaker 1: a freak talent. Look at this guy move. Look at 374 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:24,199 Speaker 1: this armstring he's carrying. Lincoln Riley and USC's programmed sucks. 375 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 1: But when you watched him play, You're like, God, this 376 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:30,240 Speaker 1: guy can really play. You know what. Turns out two 377 00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:34,159 Speaker 1: months into the season, he's not even remotely close to 378 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 1: Jayden Daniels. Jane Daniels is in a different stratosphere. Jane 379 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:41,080 Speaker 1: Daniels isn't playing with the talent that he's playing with. 380 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 1: He's got Keenan Allen, who's been one of the best 381 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:46,120 Speaker 1: receivers in the league for like a decade, Dj Moore 382 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:49,639 Speaker 1: start on every team in the NFL in romandonesday he 383 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 1: was a top ten pick swift comet, Like, these guys 384 00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 1: are good players, and he looks terrible. I mean looks terrible. 385 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,840 Speaker 1: Is it all his fault? Of course not. Coaches on 386 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,800 Speaker 1: that staff are all gonna get fired, maybe even tomorrow, 387 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:09,520 Speaker 1: But he does not look good. And you can remove 388 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,160 Speaker 1: him from his coaching staff and watch him in a vacuum. 389 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:16,920 Speaker 1: Like obviously playing for Kevin O'Connell is good for Sam Darnold, 390 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:18,680 Speaker 1: but I can also just watch him on a give 391 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 1: and play and go. He had lib bad he broke 392 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:23,359 Speaker 1: a tackle, he scrambled out and he made a great pass, 393 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,840 Speaker 1: Like that's just talent. And I watched Kayleb Williams. I'm like, 394 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 1: where's I know you've got a big arm and I 395 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:31,879 Speaker 1: know you can move, but like, where is it? Like 396 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:36,480 Speaker 1: this stuff isn't that complicated. We're not creating SpaceX here. 397 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 1: We're just can you like complete a route when it's 398 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 1: not there initially? And the answer is like no, not 399 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:47,400 Speaker 1: really at all. So like the Jordan love thing, like Lafour, 400 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,520 Speaker 1: they gotta find some balance there. One they got to 401 00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:54,480 Speaker 1: find a way to keep him healthy. But the complete 402 00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:59,119 Speaker 1: reckless play is not gonna work in these big games. 403 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:03,560 Speaker 1: And yeah, Farv had his moments. Far also won three 404 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:07,000 Speaker 1: straight Most Valuable Player of the Year awards in a 405 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:11,919 Speaker 1: league that had guys like Troy Aikman, Steve Young, Barry Sanders, 406 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:16,159 Speaker 1: Emmett Smith was the best player in the league for 407 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:18,960 Speaker 1: three straight years and went to back to back Super Bowls. 408 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:21,359 Speaker 1: So yeah, the guy that threw a bunch of picks 409 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 1: and you know, I think has the most picks in 410 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:28,320 Speaker 1: NFL history and obviously had some bad moments. Aaron Rodgers 411 00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:31,880 Speaker 1: never threw a pick. Sometimes drive people nuts, like push 412 00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:34,879 Speaker 1: the ball. This guy is just making some of the 413 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:38,119 Speaker 1: most bonehead plays in a game where you couldn't afford 414 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:42,159 Speaker 1: it because in that type weather. The one part about 415 00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:45,800 Speaker 1: like some people just need thirty eight to thirty four 416 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:49,040 Speaker 1: to be entertained. I do not. I do not at all. 417 00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:52,000 Speaker 1: I can be thoroughly entertained in a game in the teams, 418 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,000 Speaker 1: and that was a game you could feel right away like, 419 00:23:55,119 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 1: you know, seventeen to fourteen might win this game. Turnovers, obviously, 420 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 1: there might be a freak fumble if someone doesn't hold 421 00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:06,240 Speaker 1: on the ball. We cannot throw any interceptions and he 422 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:09,200 Speaker 1: just handed the he might as well just handed the 423 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:13,520 Speaker 1: ball to the guy. That's basically what he did. And listen, 424 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:16,679 Speaker 1: like this guy went from zero to sixty because and 425 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,680 Speaker 1: I'm a fan, It's not like I'm jumping off the bandwagon, 426 00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:23,560 Speaker 1: but like this just can't happen. The play in the 427 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:26,160 Speaker 1: Minnesota game, the play like these are the best teams 428 00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:28,879 Speaker 1: we're not playing in a couple of weeks, like the 429 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:33,879 Speaker 1: eber Flus fucking Bears or the uh skinny former porn 430 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 1: attic Carolina Panthers Canals who actually won today so or 431 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 1: Dennis Allen. That's fairness to Canals. He won, Dennis Allen 432 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:47,840 Speaker 1: lost to Canals. That's pretty bad. But he just cannot 433 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:51,119 Speaker 1: happen not at home, Like that's part of your advantage 434 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,159 Speaker 1: is playing in that weather. That's what I was telling Colin. 435 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:57,119 Speaker 1: Like one of the great parts about the Patriots that 436 00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:02,440 Speaker 1: made him this unstoppable dynasty was for two months. I mean, 437 00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:05,399 Speaker 1: how many games did Belichick and Brady play in games 438 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,280 Speaker 1: didn't look like that and they were so comfortable in 439 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:11,840 Speaker 1: them always And now that like their entire team either 440 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:14,600 Speaker 1: has a podcast or is on TV. They're like, yeah, Bill, 441 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:17,720 Speaker 1: just make us practice outside, make us practice outside. Hell, 442 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,320 Speaker 1: he'd take us outside sometimes during rainy weeks and we'd 443 00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:23,959 Speaker 1: be like, Coach, we're playing the Vikings this week on 444 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:25,679 Speaker 1: the road. They playing the Dome. He's like, yeah, we 445 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:28,440 Speaker 1: just want to practice so when we do see rain later. 446 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:32,960 Speaker 1: And they were always so comfortable in those weather environments. 447 00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:37,720 Speaker 1: The Packers live breathe all their players like that's and 448 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:41,520 Speaker 1: Detroit comes and they're like extremely comfortable in that. So 449 00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:46,359 Speaker 1: incredible win by the Lions. Just punk Jordan Love in 450 00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:52,600 Speaker 1: La floor, who obviously is kimping around out there. But man, 451 00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:54,719 Speaker 1: the hype train on some of these guys is just 452 00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,959 Speaker 1: not living up to it. Hell, you even Tua, Like, 453 00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:01,480 Speaker 1: I give the guy credit, Like he played. He's looked 454 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:04,840 Speaker 1: really good the last two weeks. Concussed healthy Tua or 455 00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:08,680 Speaker 1: not concussed. Healthy Tua is just like a very functional player. 456 00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:11,600 Speaker 1: Now when the weather turns, you gotta be careful. You know, 457 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:14,440 Speaker 1: Toua you would not like him in a Packer environment 458 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,800 Speaker 1: today that's you bet against them, But I give to 459 00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:21,000 Speaker 1: a credit. He just plays well most weeks. One thing 460 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,360 Speaker 1: that happened though today in that game and this has 461 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:28,920 Speaker 1: been something that just eats at me. Is in college football, 462 00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:33,960 Speaker 1: when you get targeting the kid because that's what they are. 463 00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:38,200 Speaker 1: Kids who get tossed out of the game and then 464 00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:41,399 Speaker 1: have to miss a half of the following game is 465 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:45,840 Speaker 1: the most egregious penalty in the history of sports. It 466 00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:49,679 Speaker 1: is pure insanity. Do you know that most of these guys, 467 00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:54,840 Speaker 1: like ninety five percent of them, I don't care what 468 00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 1: school we're talking about, will not play football after college. 469 00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,760 Speaker 1: So you were talking a tiny, tiny percentage of players 470 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:07,119 Speaker 1: in college football that will ever play in the NFL. 471 00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:11,560 Speaker 1: And most guys in college football are not three or 472 00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:15,919 Speaker 1: four year starters. I would say over half start for 473 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:19,160 Speaker 1: like two years bax. So you're talking even if you're 474 00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:24,119 Speaker 1: at a power for conference like twenty six to twenty 475 00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:29,520 Speaker 1: eight games max in your playing career. So to kick 476 00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:31,760 Speaker 1: a guy out of a game and then to remove 477 00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:35,680 Speaker 1: him from a following game is to me beyond over 478 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:38,399 Speaker 1: the top. I've been saying this forever in college and 479 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:42,600 Speaker 1: the pros. No one's trying to hurt anyone anymore. These 480 00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:46,760 Speaker 1: players are happening at warp speed. Obviously, sometimes helmet to 481 00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:50,640 Speaker 1: helmet collisions happen, but there to me, I don't even 482 00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:53,280 Speaker 1: remember the last time I saw in ten. And here's 483 00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:55,480 Speaker 1: the other thing. And Tom Brady hit on this a 484 00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:57,560 Speaker 1: while back when he went on that long like kind 485 00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:02,760 Speaker 1: of rant about quarterback play. There are things called hospital balls. 486 00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:06,800 Speaker 1: Derek Carr threw one today, they got Chris o'love killed. 487 00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:10,760 Speaker 1: Jordan Love threw one today, they got Brian Burr or 488 00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:16,000 Speaker 1: Brian Branch thrown out of the game. Why do the 489 00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:21,120 Speaker 1: defenders pay the price for horrendous quarterback play? Last year, 490 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:24,960 Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew did it against the Steelers, and the Steeler 491 00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:28,760 Speaker 1: player who got tossed out of that game then got suspended. 492 00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:32,520 Speaker 1: Nothing happens to the quarterback. It's like, ah, three fifteen 493 00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:38,040 Speaker 1: yards for a shitty pass, who in thirty five years 494 00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:42,280 Speaker 1: of my life would have got been an incompletion and 495 00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:46,400 Speaker 1: got his teammate more than likely stretchered off. Now, no 496 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:51,120 Speaker 1: one wants anyone stretchered off. So I understand, you know 497 00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:53,719 Speaker 1: the penalty system, and I even get helmet to helmet, 498 00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:57,400 Speaker 1: But kicking people out of the game and nothing ever 499 00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:01,200 Speaker 1: happens to the quarterback to me is like there's something 500 00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:05,480 Speaker 1: something's off here. The pendulum is swung too far. To 501 00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:09,640 Speaker 1: throw Branch out of that game. It was fucking insanity. 502 00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:13,040 Speaker 1: I felt the moment like a couple series later, when 503 00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:16,640 Speaker 1: Jordan Loved threw the pick six, karma worked. He did 504 00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:18,200 Speaker 1: not deserve to get thrown out of the game. The 505 00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:22,480 Speaker 1: other thing is you cannot throw the NBA. Nothing drives 506 00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:26,160 Speaker 1: me more nuts when a player says like fu to 507 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:31,480 Speaker 1: a referee and he gets tossed. It's like, guys, this 508 00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:34,560 Speaker 1: is in high school. This ain't even college. This is 509 00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:37,680 Speaker 1: the big leagues with millions of dollars on the line. 510 00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:41,400 Speaker 1: In normal business situations, people scream at each other all 511 00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:45,000 Speaker 1: the time. Sometimes you know, in business, someone else fucks you, 512 00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:48,840 Speaker 1: and what usually happens, You scream at each other and 513 00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,360 Speaker 1: you either figure it out in court over the phone, 514 00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:55,880 Speaker 1: someone mitigates it. Something happens in sports like I'm sorry. 515 00:29:55,960 --> 00:30:00,880 Speaker 1: Bad words fly around that always drives me just crazy. 516 00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:03,720 Speaker 1: And this happened to Draymond a lot. I will never 517 00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:06,000 Speaker 1: ever agree with, like, oh he said a bad word, 518 00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:10,560 Speaker 1: you gotta go. This ain't high school basketball, and I'm sorry. 519 00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:14,160 Speaker 1: In the pros for someone to hit someone really hard, 520 00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:17,520 Speaker 1: and sometimes it's also based on the result. When a 521 00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:21,080 Speaker 1: guy's lying, they're dead, you toss him out. That didn't 522 00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:24,280 Speaker 1: happen here in the Lions Packer game, but for him 523 00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:26,560 Speaker 1: to get thrown out was I think one of the 524 00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:28,880 Speaker 1: most egregious things I've seen this year from the officiating, 525 00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:33,120 Speaker 1: and then Tom Brady, who is in the booth, is 526 00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:36,440 Speaker 1: like a scared cat because if it was Akman or 527 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:40,240 Speaker 1: if it was Collinsworth, they would have lost their shit 528 00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:43,880 Speaker 1: because no one could watch that game unless you're a 529 00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:46,880 Speaker 1: Packer fan and not go. That's one of the worst 530 00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:50,360 Speaker 1: calls I've ever seen. That cannot happen. And Brady's like, eeh, 531 00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:52,960 Speaker 1: kind of disagree with it, And I don't blame him. 532 00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:56,880 Speaker 1: He just invested into something for probably way cheaper than 533 00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:58,360 Speaker 1: it should have been, and it's gonna make him a 534 00:30:58,360 --> 00:30:59,760 Speaker 1: ton of money and probably lead him to know in 535 00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:03,080 Speaker 1: the one day. So I'm not trying to be anti 536 00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:05,720 Speaker 1: invested in the Raiders. If I was him, I would 537 00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:09,720 Speaker 1: do that too. And I've also thought that not being 538 00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:12,120 Speaker 1: able to communicate with the teams and the coaches a 539 00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:15,120 Speaker 1: little overblown. Why he can get these guys on the 540 00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:19,520 Speaker 1: phone at a moment's notice, he calls Sean McVay or 541 00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:22,000 Speaker 1: Andy Reid in a game plan meeting, and they would 542 00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:24,920 Speaker 1: pick up his call. There's a small list of human 543 00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:27,640 Speaker 1: beings in every industry they get their phone call picked 544 00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:31,000 Speaker 1: up basically, no matter what. Twenty four to seven, three 545 00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:34,280 Speaker 1: sixty five, he happens to be one of those. A 546 00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:37,760 Speaker 1: lot of other broadcasts. Jonathan Ville mayn't getting his phone 547 00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:40,200 Speaker 1: call picked up by every coach in every GM in 548 00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:43,600 Speaker 1: the league. He might get a call back eventually, but 549 00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:46,400 Speaker 1: Tom Brady Peyton manning their phone calls are being picked 550 00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:49,840 Speaker 1: up when they call, but not being able to criticize 551 00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:53,560 Speaker 1: the officials. Part of being an analyst is representing us 552 00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:58,240 Speaker 1: and understanding what the consumer is watching and know when 553 00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:02,200 Speaker 1: something isn't fair, isn't right, And he couldn't say anything, 554 00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:05,920 Speaker 1: and I do like part of the sport. Now. The 555 00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:10,840 Speaker 1: most controversial part of football is the officiating because it 556 00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:16,120 Speaker 1: is consistently so terrible. Akerman and collins Worth constantly lose 557 00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:19,320 Speaker 1: it. It's the most relatable thing on television when it comes 558 00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:22,880 Speaker 1: to football, and Tom's not gonna be able to do 559 00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:28,680 Speaker 1: it because he can't because he owns a team. I 560 00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:31,080 Speaker 1: was playing golf on Saturday morning, so I watched the 561 00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:34,360 Speaker 1: Penn State game. I watched the first quarter at my house, 562 00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:37,360 Speaker 1: and then I watched probably the last three quarters on 563 00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:39,440 Speaker 1: my phone. I actually watched some of it this morning 564 00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:42,320 Speaker 1: because they were replaying on Fox Sports one at the gym. 565 00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:45,600 Speaker 1: And I know a lot of people from you know, 566 00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:47,640 Speaker 1: Philly that went to Penn State, some of my very 567 00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:51,080 Speaker 1: good buddies, and I can't even imagine how disappoint I 568 00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:52,880 Speaker 1: haven't talked to any of them, how disappointed they are, 569 00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:57,000 Speaker 1: because that was embarrassing. And I think sometimes like once 570 00:32:57,040 --> 00:33:00,120 Speaker 1: someone establishes who they are, we just we got I 571 00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:03,000 Speaker 1: believe him and just acknowledge, like this is is what 572 00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:06,000 Speaker 1: it is. And like James Franklin, like there is no 573 00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:09,560 Speaker 1: debating it anymore. Like when he plays a big game, 574 00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:12,920 Speaker 1: bet against him, bet against him. Your boy right here 575 00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:15,840 Speaker 1: might sprigakle a little. I just wanted a little I 576 00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:19,440 Speaker 1: wanted a little sweat. Nothing crazy took him plus three. 577 00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:21,840 Speaker 1: Regretted it not immediately because they were up to ten 578 00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:25,280 Speaker 1: to nothing. But game's over. There's nothing even debate anymore. 579 00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:30,760 Speaker 1: When he plays a real team Ohio State, Oregon, Georgia, Texas, 580 00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:33,520 Speaker 1: you name it, when they get to the playoffs. Bet 581 00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:39,360 Speaker 1: against him. Last week, Matty Eberflus showed us who he 582 00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:43,680 Speaker 1: was the second to last play. They were clueless. They 583 00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:46,920 Speaker 1: gave up a free fifteen yards the last play, one 584 00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:50,880 Speaker 1: of his starting defenders is screaming at the fans and 585 00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:55,440 Speaker 1: royally fucks them. I know coaches and players, but specifically 586 00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:58,760 Speaker 1: coaches love to say that one play didn't lose us 587 00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:04,080 Speaker 1: the game. No one can argue that play literally lost 588 00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:08,479 Speaker 1: him the game. Tyreek Stevenson lost him the game last 589 00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:11,120 Speaker 1: week and I mentioned this to Colin and I thought this. 590 00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:13,120 Speaker 1: I flipped on the TV and there he is. He's 591 00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:16,160 Speaker 1: dressed out today. He didn't start the game. And then 592 00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:19,239 Speaker 1: eventually a couple series and he came in like, this 593 00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:22,920 Speaker 1: is peewees and you're late to practice or don't hustle 594 00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:25,800 Speaker 1: and you get bench the following game. This is the pros. 595 00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:30,879 Speaker 1: When you screw up like Zeke Elliott, you get left 596 00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:33,920 Speaker 1: at home, you get made inactive. I said it last week. 597 00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:37,680 Speaker 1: I would have made him inactive. If he's gonna dress, 598 00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:41,040 Speaker 1: he just starts. We don't teach life lessons in the 599 00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:45,080 Speaker 1: big leagues. All you guys know, in whatever industry you're in, 600 00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:48,440 Speaker 1: your boss is not trying to help shape you as 601 00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:51,160 Speaker 1: a human being. You have a job, you either get 602 00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:53,719 Speaker 1: it done or you don't. Now if you need to be, 603 00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:58,240 Speaker 1: you know, reprimanded. It's black and white. And I felt 604 00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:00,960 Speaker 1: like ibra Flus looked like a high scho coach doing this, 605 00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:05,600 Speaker 1: and then his team got just curb stomped in Arizona, 606 00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:10,439 Speaker 1: thoroughly embarrassed. I thought the most well Saints, but Saints suck. 607 00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:12,840 Speaker 1: Like the Bears win this game, then they get the 608 00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:14,920 Speaker 1: Patriots next week. It's like their record is gonna be 609 00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:20,480 Speaker 1: pretty good and they got killed today. If you're a 610 00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:22,680 Speaker 1: Bears fan, this is how Penn State fans are now, 611 00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:25,120 Speaker 1: how could you look at James Franklin the same? Like 612 00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:27,359 Speaker 1: you are who you are. You're gonna win US our 613 00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:30,479 Speaker 1: nine ten games, maybe we'll get the ten to eleven seed. 614 00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:32,520 Speaker 1: We're gonna have a bunch of guys drafted and we'll 615 00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:36,000 Speaker 1: just be won and done. You're not a championship coach. 616 00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:38,320 Speaker 1: You're just not even a high level coach. You're a 617 00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:41,120 Speaker 1: great recruiter, a good program builder. But it is what 618 00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:44,920 Speaker 1: it is, the Eberflus thing. There's nothing even to argue anymore. 619 00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:49,600 Speaker 1: Your rookie quarterback looks like shit. Your defense missed a 620 00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:52,560 Speaker 1: very important player today, Montest sweat, and it looked like 621 00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:57,319 Speaker 1: you were missing Reggie White, Montes sweat, Mike Singletary, I mean, 622 00:35:57,320 --> 00:36:00,759 Speaker 1: and Brian her Locker and Pina Tillman. I mean, you 623 00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:07,960 Speaker 1: got shredded. Is doa It's oh? Now do you want 624 00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:09,480 Speaker 1: to fire him tomorrow? Do you want to let them 625 00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:13,560 Speaker 1: coach out the season? It's done? And it just I 626 00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:17,800 Speaker 1: didn't think. I didn't know if they would win this weekend, 627 00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:19,920 Speaker 1: but I did not think it would look like that. 628 00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:24,120 Speaker 1: I thought they would have a little little something to them. 629 00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:27,640 Speaker 1: I mean, on the flip side, look at Washington, who 630 00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:30,480 Speaker 1: gets the great win? Then they're playing New York like 631 00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:32,759 Speaker 1: classic young team. You could be like Aunt, They'll be 632 00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:36,759 Speaker 1: feeling themselves. Maybe it wouldn't have been the I mean, 633 00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:38,520 Speaker 1: it would have been a very consistent theme throughout the 634 00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:42,080 Speaker 1: history of sports. Washington goes in New York laysing egg 635 00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:44,879 Speaker 1: or even has to like somehow pull a game out 636 00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:47,359 Speaker 1: of their ass because they were screwing around for a half. Nope, 637 00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:51,400 Speaker 1: went in kicked ass. Tech names looked awesome. The score 638 00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:54,480 Speaker 1: does not reflect what I witnessed. Now, granted I had 639 00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:55,960 Speaker 1: it on a four box. Every time I looked at 640 00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:58,360 Speaker 1: them like this game, Now, for one snap, did you 641 00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:01,719 Speaker 1: ever think the Giants had a chance? And I would 642 00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:04,399 Speaker 1: say the same thing about the Bears, now for one 643 00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:06,359 Speaker 1: second to day, did you ever think they had a chance? 644 00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:10,840 Speaker 1: And now, if you're a Bears fan, you know life 645 00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:13,040 Speaker 1: came at you fast. You were hoping that this would 646 00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:14,759 Speaker 1: just kind of play itself out, even if you just 647 00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:16,879 Speaker 1: got a wild card, got beat in the first round. Hey, 648 00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:20,680 Speaker 1: we took a step. Your quarterback any good? Like that's 649 00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:24,120 Speaker 1: a fair question. Not talented? We know he's talented. Is 650 00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:28,120 Speaker 1: he any good at playing football? We don't know. And 651 00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:29,680 Speaker 1: the whole excuse is going to be it's all in 652 00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:32,120 Speaker 1: the coaching staff, which may be fair, but now you 653 00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:34,239 Speaker 1: know you got to fire all those guys. So it's 654 00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:38,200 Speaker 1: just a disastrous situation for the franchise. And I think 655 00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:41,840 Speaker 1: you know, Penn State fans learned at a higher level 656 00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:46,520 Speaker 1: something very similar in last but not least. I just 657 00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:51,400 Speaker 1: don't know how you shake this loss. I got some 658 00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:53,560 Speaker 1: things wrong this year. I'll be the first to admit. 659 00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:56,200 Speaker 1: I had the Saints winning the division. I had him 660 00:37:56,200 --> 00:38:01,000 Speaker 1: making the playoffs. I had bo Nicks winning the offensive 661 00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:04,000 Speaker 1: rookie of the year, like swinging a miss sometimes you know, 662 00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:06,000 Speaker 1: Aaron Judge gets up there, everyone's want to hit a 663 00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:10,760 Speaker 1: home run. Chargers playoffs no big deal for to one. 664 00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:14,320 Speaker 1: Derek Carr and the Saints losing to Bryce Young in 665 00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:18,000 Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers. I just pulled up the playoffs, you know, 666 00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:20,879 Speaker 1: for the NFC, just to see where, you know, who 667 00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:24,400 Speaker 1: was where, and basically just to see the whole conference. 668 00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:29,759 Speaker 1: The Saints and the Carolina Panthers. I mean, we've been 669 00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:32,080 Speaker 1: talking like Carolina Panthers one of the worst teams we've 670 00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:33,960 Speaker 1: seen in recent memory, and rightfully so. I mean they 671 00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:38,080 Speaker 1: were They're just an unwatchable squad. Then they play the Saints, 672 00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:40,000 Speaker 1: they get the ball late and they have to get 673 00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:41,920 Speaker 1: a touchdown to win the game, and they drive and 674 00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:44,880 Speaker 1: get a touchdown to win the game. Then the Saints lose. 675 00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:49,480 Speaker 1: Like Derek Carr has now lost to thirty one out 676 00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:52,240 Speaker 1: of the thirty two teams in the NFL, the only 677 00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:56,239 Speaker 1: player in NFL history to have that feat. And they 678 00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:58,960 Speaker 1: play the Raiders this year. So if you were to 679 00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:01,759 Speaker 1: lose to the Raiders, obviously he could never have lost 680 00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:03,319 Speaker 1: the Raiders. There's only a second year on the team. 681 00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:05,759 Speaker 1: They haven't played him yet, but and he was on 682 00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:09,560 Speaker 1: them forever obviously, just it's easy to figure out he 683 00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:12,719 Speaker 1: will have lost to all thirty two teams like that. 684 00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:17,319 Speaker 1: That's a pretty insane accomplishment and not some accomplishment that 685 00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:20,879 Speaker 1: any human would want. And now, Dennis Allen, this franchise 686 00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:25,080 Speaker 1: looks to be in complete shambles. You lose some games, 687 00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:29,439 Speaker 1: you get some injuries, you cannot, under any circumstances lose 688 00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:33,560 Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers and have anyone take you seriously, and 689 00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:37,440 Speaker 1: they are a sleeper. Now. If you can't beat Carolina, 690 00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:40,040 Speaker 1: like you're gonna be an underdog to every team you play. 691 00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:41,200 Speaker 1: And all that here is like they've got a bunch 692 00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:44,759 Speaker 1: of guys back that they are in shambles. They got one, two, 693 00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:48,080 Speaker 1: three CanCon written all over them, especially with a coach 694 00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:51,680 Speaker 1: who also, like eber Flu's, could be fired by Monday 695 00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:55,120 Speaker 1: morning or by Monday at lunch. That I just don't 696 00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:59,400 Speaker 1: think you shake that. That is by far the worst loss. 697 00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:05,920 Speaker 1: When you just say, if you're a fan, what how 698 00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:07,879 Speaker 1: am I supposed to watch this team play for another 699 00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:12,120 Speaker 1: two months? We have eight more games. I just don't 700 00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:16,000 Speaker 1: think I can do it. And I've known Derek since 701 00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:19,279 Speaker 1: he was at Fresno State. He has made a lot 702 00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:22,320 Speaker 1: of money he will have made when the dust settles, 703 00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:24,920 Speaker 1: more money in the NFL. Listen, I don't fault him 704 00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:29,160 Speaker 1: for signing these contracts than any other player at quarterback 705 00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:32,239 Speaker 1: who's never won a playoff game, and clearly he's never 706 00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:35,440 Speaker 1: going to win a playoff game. So this signing for 707 00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:40,080 Speaker 1: the Saints, which I thought was gonna come like and 708 00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:41,719 Speaker 1: be a positive this year, and they were gonna be 709 00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:43,560 Speaker 1: a good team and they won nine games last year, 710 00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:48,239 Speaker 1: has turned into an epic disaster. And Dennis Allen, now, 711 00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:54,120 Speaker 1: I mean, his win loss record is just an abomination. 712 00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:57,239 Speaker 1: So I feel for you Saints fans. At least you 713 00:40:57,320 --> 00:40:59,120 Speaker 1: got the LSU Tigers, who have a big game this 714 00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:02,520 Speaker 1: week against Alabama. But what a week. I noticed this 715 00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:06,239 Speaker 1: during the Sunday night game. You know, Kevin O'Connell, if 716 00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:09,800 Speaker 1: he was in Hollywood or like an actor, he would 717 00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:13,239 Speaker 1: either play like the all American dad who has like 718 00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:17,800 Speaker 1: a great job, ceo, beautiful wife, a couple of young kids. 719 00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:20,759 Speaker 1: Everyone likes him. He just always looks so clean cut, 720 00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:24,560 Speaker 1: so buttoned up, always looks well rested, even though he's 721 00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:27,600 Speaker 1: a coach. He has looked the same body wise, like 722 00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:31,080 Speaker 1: he never gains like an ounce of fat, like probably 723 00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:33,640 Speaker 1: not a big dessert guy. He just he just looks 724 00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:38,960 Speaker 1: the part. You know, it's like a he just that 725 00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:42,319 Speaker 1: guy was born to look good, and he's looked good 726 00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:45,480 Speaker 1: every room he's walked into six ' four, so the 727 00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:48,719 Speaker 1: ladies love him. He has not had an issue in 728 00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:52,440 Speaker 1: many departments of his life ever. And then you've got 729 00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:56,160 Speaker 1: Shane Steichen. You know, both these guys. One guy went 730 00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:59,000 Speaker 1: to UNLV, the other guy went to San Diego State, 731 00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:03,760 Speaker 1: so not exactly like Alabama in Texas. Shane Steiking always 732 00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:07,239 Speaker 1: looks like he's coming off three hours of sleep. If 733 00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:10,160 Speaker 1: he was in the movies or television shows, he would 734 00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:14,440 Speaker 1: be that strung out cop who can never figure out 735 00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:17,839 Speaker 1: who killed whoever and who's just sitting in the bar 736 00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:21,840 Speaker 1: slamming whiskey's on the rock by himself. Hell, his partner 737 00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:24,719 Speaker 1: could be Flacco, who's kind of a little more energetic, 738 00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:28,000 Speaker 1: better looking version of Stiking. But Shane Steiking right now 739 00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:31,560 Speaker 1: looks like shit. I mean, that guy just needs like 740 00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:34,600 Speaker 1: ten hours of sleep. I mean that guy looks like 741 00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:40,640 Speaker 1: just this season is driving him into the ground. Meanwhile, O'Connell, 742 00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:43,480 Speaker 1: I mean looks like he saw a player or something. 743 00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:46,480 Speaker 1: He just looks fantastic. I just couldn't get over the 744 00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:51,160 Speaker 1: contrast of those two human beings on the opposite sideline. 745 00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:54,520 Speaker 1: It really is crazy. You know, Shanahan went through this 746 00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:56,919 Speaker 1: a little bit when they were losing his first couple 747 00:42:56,920 --> 00:42:59,160 Speaker 1: of years. He went from being like thirty eight to 748 00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:01,400 Speaker 1: looking like fifty. And then he's kind of just had 749 00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:03,320 Speaker 1: the same grizzled look for like the last five or 750 00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:06,640 Speaker 1: six years. I thought Stiching. I mean, he's always kind 751 00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:08,600 Speaker 1: of had a little edge to him, you know, kind 752 00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:11,600 Speaker 1: of that kind of cop look. But you looked in 753 00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:16,080 Speaker 1: his eyes today, You're like, Jesus, this guy. This guy's 754 00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:19,319 Speaker 1: a weathered sob. This has been a long year and 755 00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:24,280 Speaker 1: a half in Indy. Anthony Richardson is driving this guy 756 00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:29,680 Speaker 1: into the ground. So yeah, hopefully we get a better 757 00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:33,400 Speaker 1: game next Sunday night than than Colts Vikings though. Hopefully 758 00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:36,200 Speaker 1: everyone's having a good night. Audios, talk to you soon. 759 00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:41,400 Speaker 1: The volume
