• 2:01
  Speaker 1: social media that are they really think they programmed the show.

  Speaker 1: I will send out if you follow the show on

  Speaker 1: have somebody to look forward to dear like God, it's good,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: like you actually look forward to this crap. And then
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: sometimes I'm so busy I don't have time to do that.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: You know, I have staff of thousands that work on
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: the show, being the overnight guy, so I did not
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: have a chance to send that out, but I will
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: do that later.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: I'm efforting. That is that we're supposed to say. Efforting.
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: I think you're supposed say everything. Yes, yes, according to
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: my friend Larta, we're efforting to get that out.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: So we will have that out within the hour. If
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: you're listening in real time and listening live.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: But our lead this hour is from Phildelphia.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: The curtain and the championship banner went up to the rafters.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: There was raised the twenty twenty five NFL season. Were
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: you watching, well, probably probably, I mean just had to
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: get a really good rating, really good rating. Cowboys were involved,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: and so you had Jalen Hurts. We told you yesterday
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: and one of the many Draft Kings commercials that Jalen
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Hurts scoring a touchdown seemed like a good idea to us.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: He did not only one, but two touchdowns. So Jalen
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Hurts rushing for two scores The Eagles with stood a
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: rare although not quite as rare as it should be,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: weather delay, and they needed a late stop to beat
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys twenty four to twenty, game ending early in
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: the overnight hours in philadel For you, there is the
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: sixty five minute delay. A wild start to the NFL season.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Looked like the game would be in the forties in
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: the first half. The Eagles led twenty four to twenty
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: with four forty four to go in the third court.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: So fours across the board, fours across the board.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: And then the yeah.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: And then the game was delayed I mentioned for sixty
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: five minutes because.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: Of lightning in the area. We'll get to that some
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: point later on in the show around Lincoln Financial Field.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: So the game ended up just after midnight. I love
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: these people that are used to working during the day.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: They get so freaked out.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, Mike Tarico, I thought it was got
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: have a heart attack. On NBC. He was, Oh my god,
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: the game in after mid no Oh my god.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Hey Mike, there's people up overnight, you dope, they work
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: the overnight shift.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: You're moron.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: You might want to acknowledge the people that drive trucks
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: and work in factories and make donuts. So when your
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: fat ass goes to the donut shop, you can eat
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: a donut in the morning. They're making them overnight. Okay,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: So I oh, I can't believe what we ended it
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: after midnight?
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: Holy crap. Anyway, the Cowboys had a chance. They had
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: multiple chances.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Now Dak Press got through an incomplete pass on a
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: fourth down and three. That was the final blow with
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: one fifty four to go, the last gasp. The better story, though,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: is in the losing locker room. The better story is
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: in the losing locker room.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: We had the.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Debut of Shatzi or Shady Brian Schottenheimer. He took over
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: as the coach. He's the latest sock puppet for Jerry Jones.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: And there's this story within the story here. If you
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: saw the game, I believe you know where we're going
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: with this. So many pointing the finger at CD Lamb
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: and that's the Dallas pass catcher. In fact, even Ceedee
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Lamb was pointing the fingers that who was pounding his
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: chest like at the end of the game, kind of hey,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: blame me, it was my fault.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: Bad job by me.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: He melted down in the fourth quarter of this game
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: with multiple drop passes and voting a backbreaker for the Cowboys.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: So let us discuss is.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: It inbounds or is it out of bounds to blame
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Cedee Lamb for the Cowboys loss. So is it inbounds
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: to blame Ceedee Lamb for the Cowboys loss or out
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: of bounds? So my thoughts on this, I've got Marvel Comics, iPhones,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: and Hermit Crab and we will combine all of these
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: things together and we are going to make Cotton Candy,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: which is about as tough as the Cowboys defense was
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: early in that game. Now a better second half for
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Dallas defensively, But it's not about that. This is about
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: the story within the story. Cee d Lamb hole Lee crap.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Now, he did have seven catches for one hundred and
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: ten yards. That's a good stat line if you play
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: fantasy football. But in terms of the making a play
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: when it mattered, he did not. Here is the head
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: coach of the Dallas Cowboys, Brian Schottenheimer. Brian Schottenheimer commenting
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: on the night of Ceedee Lamb take, I don't.
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: Worry about Sea Lamb.
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: Cee.
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: He's gonna be fine. What a great player.
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: Again, Yeah, this was a This.
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: Was a team defeat, and we own that. You know,
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: we understand where we can go as a football team.
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: We understand. I love the competition. I thought guys competed
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: their butts off. I thought that was great. But we're
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: all about winning, and we didn't win tonight, and so
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: therefore it's not good enough.
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: If I was Jerry Jones, I'd fire Shotenheimer right now.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: I'd say, all right, you're not allowed to go back
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: to Dallas.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: You're a dope. Uh No, how about some accountability? How
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: about your guy, your mister one hundred million dollar man?
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: Fed up? Why can't we say that?
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, what was it gonna rain down lightning
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: like it did in Philadelphia there when the game was delayed?
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: If you say that, like this is the stuff about
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: sports that just drives me insane.
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: Like they just think.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: You're a moron. The customer is a dope. You can't
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: acknowledge what everyone sees. Right, you're the one hundred million
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: dollar oh man, you're supposed to be the difference maker.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: It's like Marvel Comics. I learned this from my friend
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: Spider Man. With great power comes great responsibility. You're a
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: one hundred million dollar receiver. That means when the ball's
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: in the air and it hits your hands in the
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: fourth quarter, you've got to make the play. You don't
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: get to play well. I had seven catches for one
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: hundred and ten yards, card and your coach can defend
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: your Well, it's a team loss.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: Empty.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: Those are empty calories. They're empty stats by Ceedee Lamb
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: and Jerry Jones.
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: Cowboys.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: They pay this guy to be a special ingredient. Not
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: everyone is treated the same.
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: We know that. Oh, it's a meritocracy. No, it's not.
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: Everyone's treated a little bit differently. Right. The stars get
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: a little more wiggle room. This is the thing.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: You get one hundred million dollars that is supposed to
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: separate you from a guy on the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. Okay,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: any Jibbrody can go there and dropped the ball in
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: crunch time.
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: That's not one hundred million dollars receiver. But wait, there's more.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: How about the other receiver George Pickens, who I think
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: had more success picking buggers out of his nose than
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: he did in this game. He coming over from Pittsburgh.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Three catches for thirty yards. You know what, that makes
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: him a jar, just a receiver, and you can find
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: those guys anywhere also.
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: But I want to go back to Cede Lamb.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Ceede Limb is supposed to be more right, and I
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: don't want to live in a world you.
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: Can't criticize the bone as the team loss. I trust him?
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: How would you trust him?
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: How many times the sports that we've seen when players
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: get the yips, sometimes they never recover from that.
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: That was a yips game. Yepity, yippity yip yip. It
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: was a yep game.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Right, don't let that distract you, all right, that the
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: coaches out there, Sore has a team lot.
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: This was Lamb when it mattered. He shrank, right, he shrank.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: He was the guy who was wide open hero down
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: four touchdown, you have the lead pressure on the Eagles,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: and he tripped over his own kid. You know it's
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: like if you ever go to Times Score, you know
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: those ripoff spider Man, ripoff characters, like a rip off
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: spider Man that tripped over his own cape in Times
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Square in a photo thing trying to you know, hustle
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: people for money, like do better be better? That's the
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: whole job description when you're being paid to be the superhero.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: It's like when you make a movie and the movie tanks.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: Do you say, well, we all were bad in the movie,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: or do you say with the headliner of the movie sucked.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: You don't blame the extras in the movie. Like, that's
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: not how any of this works. Where you it bothers
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: me when it's money time, poof, poof. This is the Cowboys.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: The stars vanished and now it's not all on CD Lamb. Though,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: we got to pass the buck over to Dak Prescott.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: How did you grade Dak Prescott's performance for the Cowboys?
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: So he wasn't in the very front of the Vomit comet,
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: that was Cedee Lamb. However, he was riding shotgun in
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: the Vomit Comet. Dak Prescott now drops aside he was
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: an NGE not good enough performer. NNGE not good enough.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: This was supposed to be and it is a measuring sticky.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Now we assume the position that the Cowboys are not
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: going to be a playoff team. They weren't a playoff
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: team last year. They have a worse team this year
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: than they did last year. But that's the assumption. You
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: can change assumptions by your performance. The Eagles and Cowboys
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: this is an nfcast grudge match which started with one
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: of the key Eagle defenders ejected for spitting a nice
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: juicy loogie the direction of Dak Prescott, who had spin
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: on the ground and some Eagle fans.
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: We'll see Derek spit.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: We'll talk more about this later, but Dak spit on
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: the ground and they I think that's equal to a
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: loogie being spit by Jalen Carter on Dak Prescott. But
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: in terms of Dak's performance, I would have rather had
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: some phlegm in the second and a half.
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: That would have done better. Right, And so what Dak?
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: If you look at this as a measuring stick in
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: the second half, he also shriveled, shriveled up.
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: Now he didn't get help from cdee Lamb.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: But at halftime, as I was observing, you could say, hey,
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: Dak was fine.
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't say he was great.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: In the first half. Would you say it was great.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't say it was great. I thought he was fine.
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: Uh, he wasn't terrible.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: He passed the test. You know, the last person that
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: graduates medical school they call a doctor. You know, they
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: still call him a doctor. That Dak Prescott wasn't killing
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys, he wasn't killing the Eagles.
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: But then in the second half.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: It was how low can you go? It was how
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: low can you go? In the second half? How bad
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: was it? It was cover your eyes bad. Dakota after
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: halftime was nine of seventeen passing. He completed a little
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: less than fifty five percent of his passes, averaged three
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: point five yards per pass. That's I mean cheap, my god.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: That is a referendum on Dak Prescott. And this is
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: one of the arguments that Dak Prescott, you know, he
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: got paid and Jerry Jones has gotten played because he's
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: a fraud. Dak Prescott, he's a phony quarterback that puts
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: up numbers against god awful teams and then went against
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: better teams. He doesn't elevate people, and he doesn't rise
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: to the challenge and all that. And that's the argument.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: And if you had done a blind side by side
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: examination and said, okay, here's quarterback A and here's quarterback B,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: and their performance in the say and a half, you
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: would have said, was that Anthony.
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: Richardson or I mean that that's Dak Press.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: That's an Anthony Richardson stat line outside of he didn't
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: quit and take himself out of the game like that
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: gutlass Anthony Richardson. Or the other thing is he said,
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: well he didn't turn the ball over. But you know,
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: Richardson the definition of bad losing your job to Daniel Jones,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: but just a scattershot short arming throws, totally lost in
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: the moment, and Jerry Jones could have gone out and
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: gotten a guy from the XFL to do all that.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: Dak Prescott in the second half, you know, he was like,
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: if you didn't didn't hear the game or see the game,
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Dak was like one of those iPhones, you know, one
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: of those older iPhones where the battery says forty percent
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: and then you open up your Instagram app and then
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: it dies within a second.
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: As soon as you open it up. You're like, well,
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: so he said forty percent, but it died. Why did
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: it die? It said forty percent supposed to last.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: Well, well, no, it died right away because the battery
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: is defective, and you're like, what the hell happened here?
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: Just shut down, Dak. He turned into a pumpkin after halftime,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: and he did get some help. Ceedee Lamb did help
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: him by dropping a pass. But even if that catch
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: had been made by Cede Lamb, it still was not
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: a wonderful second half performance by Dak Prescott. Now, last word,
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: So we had celebrities in the house. NBC, if you
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: were watching the broadcast, made sure to shove this.
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: Down our throats.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: Were you surprised that Michael Jordan, the greatest basketball player ever,
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: Michael Jordan.
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: Was at the Eagles game?
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: All right?
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: So I was I was surprised. I'm not gonna say
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: here say I wasn't surprised mj showing up at an
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: NFL opener. It's kind of like going in your backyard
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: and seeing a unicorn. You don't expect to see a
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: unicorn in your backyard. You don't think you'd see a
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: unicorn because unicorns aren't real, But there's a unicorn in
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: your backyard. Like this is the living legend, the basketball
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: equivalent of a five star general, Michael Jordan, And he
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: doesn't just pop out for any Tom Dick and Harry
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: sporting Man. And mainly the main reason I'm surprised is
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: because he's a recluse in terms of the sports world.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: He doesn't need to ever leave his mansion, his casa.
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: He doesn't need to.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: Like Jordan's about his public as a hermit crab in
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: a titanium shell. Right, He's richer than rich, He's oligark rich.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: And yet here we are. This is MJ's second football
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: game this week. As he sat through I think he
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: left at halftime, the Bill Belichick debacle for his Tar
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: Hills getting squashed flatter than a soda can under a steamroller.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: That's two games in one week. You know, the odds
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: on that, the odds on that. That's like the Pope
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: making it back to back knights at a dive bar
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: down the street from the Vatican, Right, you wouldn't expect
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: to see that either. So Jordan was at the game
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: as a guest we are told of Jalen Hurts. So
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: then it makes a little more sense because this wasn't
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: just MJ saying I got to watch.
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: A football game, you know.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: Wasn't that you wouldn't feel nostalgic for some pig skin.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: Wasn't that at all? He was there as a Jalen
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: Hurts vip. It's all part of that Jordan brand.
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: Mafia.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: Hurts is a disciple, a disciple of Michael Jordan. And
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: then with Jalen Hurts hitting the Jordan shrug after one
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: of the touchdowns that he scored, that was pure Hollywood.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: It's almost like that was scripted and made for TV.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: You had the NBC cameras drooling like a dog over
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: at t Bone. They're all excited, all horny because they
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: get show Jordan. He got a no show job, like
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: Kawhi has, Jordan will be spewing cliches on NBC when
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: the basketball season starts here before long man, it's already September,
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: so the season starts around Halloween, so it'll be here
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: before you know it. But it was a nod to
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: the goat by Jalen Hurts there, and that was the moment.

• 20:01
  Speaker 1: tire buying show.
• 20:04
  Speaker 5: Me.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: So I was talking in one of our production meetings.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: We have a lot of production meetings. We have a
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: table read during the day. We don't just show up
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: here and roll in and do the show. There's a
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: lot that goes into it. A lot that goes into it,
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: and I'm so lucky to have a job.
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: I'm I'm.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: I guess I'm middle aged, maybe a little older than that.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: Now I'm getting older and I have a job where
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: I talk about people spitting and I get paid for it.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, what a great world we live in. So
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: I leave this hour is from Philadelphia. The Eagles held
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: off the Cowboys and they edged the Dallas there Delaware
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: Valley game that ended after midnight in Philly because of
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: long delay.
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: We'll talk more about that in a minute because of
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: the lightning.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: But the story within the story happened before the first
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: snap from scrimmage. So if you saw this or we're
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: listening to it on the radio, if you're blind, you
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: didn't see it, but you heard about on the radio.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: Perhaps you though if you were not paying attention. So
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter. Didn't this guy have a
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: reputation in college of being a hothead. Well, he's been
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: a boy scout for the most part in the NFL,
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: but not on this night. Jalen Carter, the Eagles defensive tackle,
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: he did not play a down, not a down before
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: he was ejected get out of here, Go take a shower.
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: You're done, go right now.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: This happened during an injury time out injury timeout after
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: the kickoff, one of the Eagles special teams players was
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: all mangled and messed up. I mean, what a way
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: to start the year. And the Cowboys offense was on
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: the field. They were huddled up. When Jalen Carter went
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: over there, there was an interaction with Dakota Prescott. Carter
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: ended up being caught on candid camera spatting a loogie,
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: a big juicy lougie right at Cowboy quarterback dak Prescott,
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: before turning and leaving the scene of the crime. Now,
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: Prescott motioned to the official who was stick right there
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: and flagged and immediately throughout Jalen Carter. You must protect
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: quarterbacks from lugi's at all costs. Well, later on there
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: was a bruder film like coverage, frame by frame breakdowns,
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: and it turns out there was a second spinner. There
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: was a second spinner, and that spitter was Dakota Prescott.
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: MG. So dak Scott, we came to learn after the fact.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: He had spit some phlegm, not a full lougie, more
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: phlem right there. On the ground in front of Jalen Carter.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: Now that led to some Sicka Fhan to derange the
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: members of the Philadelphia fandom who may or may not
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: be related to Fats in Philadelphia who lit himself on
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: fire for our show during the pandemic.
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: They said, well, the refs overreacted.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: This was a spit versus spit, eye for an eye,
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: spit for a spit, Lugi for alugi. This guy should
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: not have been should not have been ejected. It's a
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: bad job by the referees. So that's a good jumping
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: off point. Let us discuss now the question did did the.
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: Eagles defensive tackle Jaalen Carter.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: Deserve to be kicked out of the NFL opener for
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: spitting on the Cowboys quarterback?
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: So I have my observations. I've got weird science.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: Arcade and burpies, okay, and we'll combine all of these
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: things together and we are gonna make your Babushka's favorite
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: sugar cookies is what we're going to make. Absolutely, So
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: before we get fully into this, let's get some flavor.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: We have some audio postgame audio from the scene of
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: the crime there in Philadelphia on a rainy night in
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: the City of Brotherly Love. Let's start out with Nick Sirianni.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: Everyone's got a take.
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: On this logie.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: So here is Eagles coach Nick Sirianni. I'm sure he's
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: gonna rip Jalen Carter, but here's the Eagles coach, his
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: take on what happened.
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: Take a listen.
• 23:58
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm gonna keep all our conversation and all my
• 24:00
  Speaker 8: disciplinary things in house.
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: Oh we got to do to fix it as coaches?
• 24:05
  Speaker 5: Is it something where you might take disciplinary.
• 24:08
  Speaker 8: Action against jail again. I will keep everything in house
• 24:11
  Speaker 8: and we will we will. Uh, you won't ever get
• 24:14
  Speaker 8: that from me. We'll all, we will. Everything will always
• 24:17
  Speaker 8: be handled in house, just like private conversations that I
• 24:19
  Speaker 8: have with players. None of that, none of that will
• 24:22
  Speaker 8: ever be out to you guys. I'm sorry.
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: Of course it's unless it's on NFL films and then
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: it'll be broadcast. But we can't do that anymore.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: They've ruined, they've ruined hard knocks and things like that
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: because the players are so soft and the coach is
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: apparently soft too. That's not like a soft coach to me.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: A real doesn't a real leader, doesn't a real leader
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: come out and say this is embarrassing. I'm gonna you know,
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: this guy's I'm gonna punish his ass, not Nick Sirianni,
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: what a coward. All right, here's Dak Prescott. We learned
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: he was the first spitterer. Here's the code of Prescott's
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: take on Spitgate. Take a listen.
• 24:54
  Speaker 9: I'll probably spent a thousand times throughout the game. I
• 24:56
  Speaker 9: mean especially game that maybe even in general and something
• 25:00
  Speaker 9: I guess I'm not proud of. But in that case,
• 25:02
  Speaker 9: he was trolling. I guess you could say, trying to
• 25:04
  Speaker 9: mess with Tyler Booker. I was just looking at him.
• 25:07
  Speaker 9: I was right here about the two linemen, and I
• 25:09
  Speaker 9: guess I needed to spit and I wouldn't gonna spend
• 25:11
  Speaker 9: on my liman, and I just spit ahead. But I
• 25:13
  Speaker 9: would say he was back there where Joelry was in
• 25:15
  Speaker 9: that sense, and he asked, or he goes, you're trying.
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: To spin on me.
• 25:19
  Speaker 9: And at that point, I mean, I felt like like
• 25:21
  Speaker 9: like he was insulting me, like I don't I wouldn't
• 25:24
  Speaker 9: spend on somebody. I'm damn su You're not trying to
• 25:25
  Speaker 9: spin on you, like we're about to play a game.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: So that was his way of saying, I'm a better
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: person than that other guy because I don't spit on people.
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: That guy spin on me. Let's do the math on that.
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: How about this?
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: Dak Prescott says he spits a thousand times a day,
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: So three hundred and sixty five days a year. That
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: means Dak Prescott spits three hundred and sixty five thousand
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: dollars three and sixty five thousand times.
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: Not dollars he gets paid that probably.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: Per day, but three hundred and sixty five thousand loogies
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: per day per year, that's a lot.
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: That's a lot. All right. Let's hear from the man
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: of the hour though, a player that.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: Was ejected before the first play from scrimmage, Jalen Carter,
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: what do you have to say for yourself?
• 26:05
  Speaker 10: I heard the rough talking and then I heard him
• 26:07
  Speaker 10: say this is a tosson ball offense or something like that,
• 26:10
  Speaker 10: and that's when I know, did you have a conversation
• 26:13
  Speaker 10: with Nick and ex with the what kind of message
• 26:16
  Speaker 10: did he y? I know I didn't have a conversation yet,
• 26:18
  Speaker 10: I know we're going to have that conversation. They had
• 26:20
  Speaker 10: to focus on the game. Still, I don't want to
• 26:22
  Speaker 10: be strapping from the game. You know, are you worried
• 26:24
  Speaker 10: about the new people?
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: Uh?
• 26:26
  Speaker 10: I get you know that text what I call and
• 26:28
  Speaker 10: a lot of conversation that Will had as now you know,
• 26:31
  Speaker 10: I walked off to feel calmly.
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: I was not mad. That's pretty much.
• 26:35
  Speaker 10: I couldn't really do nothing else, you know.
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: The REP decision is the rough decision on the situation.
• 26:39
  Speaker 10: When things started to come out and you started seeing
• 26:41
  Speaker 10: things that if you can go off that, but I
• 26:43
  Speaker 10: don't got nothing to say about it, you know.
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: All right, I got a lot a lot of ambient
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: noise there in the locker room from Jalen Carter.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: So again the question that we jumped off on was
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: eagle defensive tackle jailing Carter? Did he deserve to be
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: kicked out considering that he retaliate after Dak Prescott spit first.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: So absolutely, one thousand percent, Jalen Carter deserved to be
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: kicked out. You cannot do that in twenty twenty five.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: It is not nineteen seventy five. Back when I was younger,
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: I used to watch these NFL films documentaries back when
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: they were good. Was a mom and pop operation, and
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: there were guys gouging player's eyes, twisting face mask, leg
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: whipping was going on, tripping, spitting hell. Some of them
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: were practically biting each other's fingers off. Back then, it
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: was thunderdome. Today, it's weird science. Today, it's where it suns.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: Everything is under the PC microscope of your corporate overlords
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: at the NFL. There are cameras in every crevice of
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: the field and your body. Dak Prescott did spit, but
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: he spat on the ground. Spoiler alert. That is allowed.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: It is allowed. Dirt is fair game. Now someday there'll
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: be a lawyer that represents dirt and will sue and say, well,
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: dirt has feelings. You can't spin on dirt. And then
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: some other dumb people will support the lawyer who supports
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: the dirt, and then there'll be a fund of money
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: to pay for the dirt.
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: But we're not at that point yet. Give us a
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: few years.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: So Dak Prescott spit first, but he who spits second
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: gets caught. Plus, you can't be out there hawking loogies
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: on people like you're a caveman.
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: It's disgusting, it's inconsiderate, it's rude. You're not the hawk
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: to a girl. Stop it, knock it off. What's wrong
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: with you?
• 28:37
  Speaker 5: You're gonna get in that hawk? Dude spin on that day.
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, nobody wants to see that on the field. Now,
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: maybe in some other environments they want to see that,
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: but not on the field. Okay, nobody wants to hear
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: that sound on the field either. That man makes your
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: skin crawl. And I don't know what they're teaching today,
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: but when I was in kindergarten, kindergarten, I was taught.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: I was taught, now, keep your bodily fluids to yourself.
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: This is the NFL opener. It's not some middle school
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: locker room, Pop Warner All Star team or anything like that.
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: It's Neanderthal stuff.
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: You got seventy thousand whatever fans there in Philadelphia, millions
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: of people pretending to pay attention, watching on television, and
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: Jalen Carter decides it's time to unload his sinuses onto
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: another human being.
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: Now, there was cartoon I sed to like called the Flintstones.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: You're not Fred Flintstone there spitting off the side of
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: a dinosaur crane.
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: You're not doing that. It's the NFL.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: Everyone's watching in high def everyone's watching. And again the
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: whole neanderthal thing, stop acting like Captain Caveman. It's gross,
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: it's stupid, and chose a complete lack of understanding of
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: what you can and cannot do. And also like the
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: whole opponent thing and sportsmanship and all that. Now, listen,
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: if you want to be a tough guy, go out.
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: There and just dominate the line of scrimmage.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: But hawking a loogie does not necessarily work. And who
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: in their right mind thinks they're gonna be able to
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: get away with that? Right?
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: And then who thinks that's a power move power move
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: power move to do that. It's not very intimidating, it's not.
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: It's it's kind of like, you know, back when I
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: was playing in the in the sandbox, you know, you're
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: you're throwing sand in the sandbox when you don't get
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: your way.
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: Well, that's not good either. You're not supposed to do that.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: You're not supposed to throw sand in the sandbox. You
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: shouldn't accept this sandbox. The NFL sandbox is different. The
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: sandbox does not have fifteen thousand cameras, replay officials, one
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: hundred million dollar broadcast deals attached to it. So Jalen Carter,
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: keep your flem to yourself all right now, page two. So,
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: how how should coach Nick Sirianni? Mister, I'm gonna keep
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: it in the house. I'm not gonna say anything. How
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: should coach Nick Sirianni be feeling about the Eagles after
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: they won this game? Cowboys won the statu sheet, Eagles
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: won the game. So on my scorecard, I wrote down
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: concerned capital c concern capital.
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: See if I'm the Eagles here, you can be in denials.
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: Oh we're the champs. Man be a total meathead fan
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: and not live in the real world. But I live
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: in the real world, and as an objective voice of
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: reason overnight, there are problems in Philadelphia.
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: There are problems with that Philadelphia Eagle team. And let
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: me tell you why. I'll explain how I came to
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: that conclusion. Dallas is a middling football team. Is that
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: an accurate statement? I'm nodding my head, yes, I think
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: you're nodding your head. Yes, dud Dallas is not expected
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: to be a playoff team, and yet it took their
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: one hundred million dollars wide out ceedee Lamb to have
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: multiple dunderhead plays where he could have made a play
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: and should have made a play for one hundred million
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: dollar receiver, and he blew it. That is not what
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: a Super Bowl contender looks like. Barely beating a team
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: like the Cowboys right in the arcade the Birds, If
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: you go into the arcade, the Birds played like a
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: bunch of undisciplined, angry birds. Jalen Carter getting tossed for
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: spitting is the Dictionary definition of self. Sabatine well, duck
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: dude a first, okay, Nolan Smith taunting penalty that happened later,
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: the roughing the passer call, same story.
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: Emotion, the raw emotion, boiling over without control. Playing with
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: fire is good. We all like that.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: It's more fun when our athletes play with fire. Playing
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: like a wildfire, generally speaking is bad.
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: But what do I know.
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: I just do the Overnight show.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: It's like the Eagles went out there and said, how
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: many dumb ways can we try to hand this game
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: back to Dallas? And they almost did it. They almost
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: did it. And Nick Sirianni, that dope. Sirianni's standing over
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: there chewing his gum like it's just another walkthrough at
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: Eagles practice on a Wednesday or something like that. Like, dude,
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: you're you're either coaching that crap to happen or you're
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: allowing it to happen. And based on the way Siriani
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: carries himself in some of his interactions, I'm guessing he's
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: coaching them to play like that, right.
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: It's none that he's allowing it to happen.
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: He's coaching them to play like that, undisciplined, reckless, and
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: they got lucky, right, And that's generally not a great
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: recipe for long term success against a average to below
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: average Dallas Cowboy football team with Shatzi as the coach,
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: Brian Schottenheimer. Now, final point, let's get to the weather
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: report in the corner.
• 33:30
  Speaker 9: Of the room.
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: What did you make of the sixty five minute lightning
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: delay during the Eagle Cowboy.
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: Game that caused the game to end up after after
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: midnight in Philly. So I'm of the mindset here. I'll
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: get into this.
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: I realize this is not new, it's been happening for
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: a number of years now, but it's still I'm of
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: the age where it still annoys me. I wrote down
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: burpies on this one. I wrote down burpies as in
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: the skyburn It's okay, the sky burped. There was lightning
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: within six miles, and suddenly it becomes a hostage situation
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: on the concourse at the stadium there in Philadelphia.
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: Your fans are running and trying to duck for cover.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: And we know why this happens. We've been through this before.
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: It's all because of the lawyers. It's always because of
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: the lawyers, right, the NFL. They they've got more liability
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: clauses the NFL than there are plays in that West
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: Coast offense.
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: You think Roger Goodell's really worried about players safety, No.
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: Right, he's not worried about that. What Goodell, and more importantly,
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: what the lawyers are worried about. They're worried about Tommy
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: the tank, the four hundred and fifty pound person sitting
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: in section three twelve getting zapped, getting charbroiled by lightning,
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: and then his family because he'll be dead, his family
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: suing the NFL for eighty million dollars in a share
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: of the television revenue.
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: That's what they're worried about. They're not worried about the
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: person getting hit by lightning. They're worried about the lawsuit.
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: So the shield, which when it was a mom and
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: pop thing, you know what times change and all that.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: No one wants to get hit by lightning. We don't
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: want anyone to get by lightning. But it is quite
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: the juxtaposition that is taking place in my lifetime. Like
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: when it was a mom and pop business, it was
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: like gritty. It was I gotta get the game in,
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: Gotta get the game in. And it was neither snow
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: nor rain nor gloom of night. It was the postal creed,
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: either snow nor rain nor gloom of night. And the
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: NFL seemed to adopt that for a long time. At
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: lambeau Field in December, Soldier Field in a blizzard. Gotta
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: play the game. Gotta play the game. You know, Buffalo
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: Lake effect storm, Gotta play the game. Gotta play the game.
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: Guys playing with Frostbite concussions, Gotta play the game. Gotta
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: play the game.
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: Now. Now it's let's go grab some snacks and we'll
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: wait and we'll see what the doppler thing looks like,
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: and then we'll be in good shape.
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: We'll check the doppler.
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. We go,
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: Here we go.
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: How about that? To the third degree?
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: This is one big ben gets grilled.
• 36:09
  Speaker 11: Here we go cool. Joe Burrow spoke with the media
• 36:13
  Speaker 11: on Wednesday, and he said that he believes that the
• 36:15
  Speaker 11: narrative surrounding the Bengals has shifted, implying that they're no
• 36:18
  Speaker 11: longer seen as contenders.
• 36:20
  Speaker 5: Is he right?
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: So he thinks now the Bengals are back to being
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: also rams? Is that what he's saying is that?
• 36:26
  Speaker 11: How I that they're under I mean, I think he's
• 36:28
  Speaker 11: trying to say that they're underdogs, that they're nobody believes.
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: The Bengals are actually a popular pick that bounce back.
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: Joe Burrow was the betting favorite to be the Most
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: Valuable Player. So he's blowing smoke if that's his position,
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: he's full of crap because there's a lot of people
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: like the Bengals are going to be better this year.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: They almost made the playoffs. Last year they got off
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: to a terrible start. They're gonna better, So I disagree
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: with that.
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: Next.
• 36:49
  Speaker 11: Lamar Jackson was asked this week about Josh Allen winning
• 36:51
  Speaker 11: MVP over him last season. He said, quote the voters
• 36:54
  Speaker 11: chose who they wanted to pick. Yes, not really sure
• 36:57
  Speaker 11: what that's usually what happens, Ben, Do you think it
• 37:02
  Speaker 11: was a case of voter fatigue last season?
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: So here's the thing.
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: If you go by the Nerd stats, if you just
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: look at the raw Nerd numbers as well, Lamar Jackson
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: had better numbers. Lamar Jackson's your MVP. I had no
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: problem with Josh Allen winning. I thought Josh Allen was
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: the MVP because it's more than just the stats. It's
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: more that goes into it than that.
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: It is a factor. We see it in all the sports.
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: When you win a lot of awards, people get tired
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: of you winning. It's just human nature, that's how it works,
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: and they got to knock you down a little bit.
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: So voter fatigue is definitely an element in the stew.
• 37:37
  Speaker 11: Next, Tyreek Hill spoke out about not being named a
• 37:40
  Speaker 11: captain by the Dolphins and said, I don't need a
• 37:42
  Speaker 11: title to be able to lead, Ben, how long do
• 37:47
  Speaker 11: you expect Tyreek.
• 37:48
  Speaker 5: To be on his best behavior?
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: Well, are there any women in the room. I don't know. Listen, listen,
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: Tyree Scott. You got some problems, you know, let's call
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: like it is here, and that's a good quote. That's
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: a good quote. I don't know why the Dolphins didn't
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: trade him.
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: He will be on his best behavior till the end
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: of the game on Sunday against the Colts, when something
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: goes wrong and Tyreek doesn't get targeted.
