  Speaker 1: office and see how Express can help you hire smarter
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: and faster. So our lead this hour is from Canton, Ohio.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: As this continues to have legs, can we just keep
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: going here? It's our in depth team coverage of the
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: voting quagmire involving the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Bill
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Belichick is outside. He's banging his hand on the glass.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: I would like in, then deny it. Denied entry to
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: the Pro Football Hall of Fame, the first ballot snub
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: which continues to feed the content machine in these parts.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: So another day, and another dope who didn't vote for
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Belichick has crawled out from behind the refrigerator and put
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: his name on it. So we're happy about that, right,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: there's something to talk about here. So if you did
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: not hear, perhaps not Mike Chappel, I believe he's the
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: gentleman's name. He's a Indianapolis based Hall of Fame vote
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: and he's one of the people, one of the at
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: least eleven who omitted the greatest coach in modern NFL history,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Bill Belichick from the twenty twenty six ballot, and he
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: claims it was not not as not what you might think,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Not like the other guy, the Kansas City guy who said, well,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: I just wanted to get old guys in. I just
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: wanted to get these old guys in. So this guy Chapel,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: the go F in Indianapolis, he said, I didn't vote
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: for Belichick. It was not as a direct punishment, but
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: he claimed to prioritize Robert Kraft, the owner and his
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: contributions to the NFL, the owner of the Patriots, of course,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: and then cited Spygate as the ethical blemish on Belichick's
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Wikipedia page there despite all the Super Bowl wins that
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: he put together there with the Patriots them and then
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: was with the Giants when they won a couple. So
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: that's a good jumping off point. Let us discuss the
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: question for the class and you're in the class welcome,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: you're not late welcome. So the question, what is your
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: takeaway from the latest voter claiming they rubber stamped Robert
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Kraft over Belichick and did bring up spygate as an
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: ethical blemish in order to get Kraft a gold jacket
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: right away. Now, I know Craft's been on the ballot before,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: but now over Bill Belichick. So my thoughts on this.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: I've got Midway Arcade, Golden Corral, and Doppelganger, and we
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: will combine all of these things together. We're gonna make
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: some fun fetti cookies. This is what we're gonna make. Yum,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: yum to my tumb tumb all right. So, ay, this
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: is another one of these head scratchers. You try to
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: figure it out. The logic behind it doesn't make a
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: lot of sense. This guy, Mike Chappele again, the guy
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: I believe that's his name. He appears to be a
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: first of a dinosaur like t Rex. I believe t Rex.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: I think he's related to tears. Hall of Fame voter leaving,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Let's just try to try to go down a logical
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: path together. What you say, all right, So you leave
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Belichick off the ballot, and you then you give the
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: thumbs up to Robert Kraft to give him the fast
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: pass to Canton, Ohio, and you use one of the
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: things you use is this ethical conversation about spygate you
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: play the Spygate card from the bottom of the deck,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: and so the coach is radioactive, like Belichick is obviously radioactive.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: That's why you didn't vote for him. But the billionaire
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: owner who hired Belichick and signs the checks gets a halo.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Is that? Am I reading the room? Right? Did I
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: get the right? I think I got right right. So
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: it's I believe we call this selective morality. That's what
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: we call that, kerry picking. It's kind of like going
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: to the Midway arcade and you're excited to go to
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: the arcade, get all your tokens ready to go, and yeah,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: you go to the claw machine right now, ignore the
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: busted machines, grab the shiny prize and pretend the game's
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: fair and all that stuff. It's moral cosplay. Now, if
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Spygate was so horrible, right, this was the worst thing ever. Now, No,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: I didn't see him mentioned the flake Gate because that
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: was fugezy. So he mentioned spy Gate. He leaned into that.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: So if Spygate was horrible and it disqualifies Belichick and
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: that's your opinion, that's fine. And he said, Okay, I
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: believe the NFL is different. Pro football is different. Than baseball,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: although baseball they're okay with that now too. They like
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: cheating in baseball. The Baseball Riders have endorsed cheating, a
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: cheating as two one thousand all is in the Baseball
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Hall of Fame, Carlos the Cheater belt, Round Bang Bang
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: from the Astros. So they're okay with it now. But
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: in football it's always been like, Hey, the forty nine
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: ers cheeted with Montana and Jerry Rice. The Dolphins with
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Don Shula were in some funny business when he came
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: to Miami. Initially, there were some other stories. There was
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: a site. It's not online anymore, but it documented everything.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: I'm sure if you go back on the way back
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: machine you can find it. Every single team, multiple cheating
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: scandals in the NFL, and it's you know, it's still
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: bouncing around the dark web. You can find that information.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: So okay, fine, But again, if Spygate was the worst
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: of the worst, and everyone's fingerprints are on it, that
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: would mean Robert Kraft. That would mean the players, not
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: just Belichick. Otherwise you're playing favorite. So if you connect
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: the dots on the voters so far that we know
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: did not vote for Belichick, you've got the guy from
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: Kansas City, the writer I've never heard of. You got
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: this guy from Indianapolis who's a first cousin of the dinosaurs,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: And you're telling me that Bill Pollian didn't do any
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: campaigning behind the scenes. I don't know about them. Don't
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: know about that one. Please. So the logical conclusion, if
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: you're looking for consistency, not that they're often is consistency,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: is that Tom Brady will not be voted into the
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: Hall of Fame when he's eligible in a couple of
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: years because of the optics. And then you've got the
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: last chance argument, which we've talked about in previous episodes
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: of the show, and I really don't understand it. I
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: don't If it's your last chance, then chances are that
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: you shouldn't get in the Hall of Fame, like Ken
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: Anderson not a Hall of Famer, Greenwood not a Hall
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: of Famer. But these guys are getting in because they
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: feel bad because it's the last chance. And it's not
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: really standards. It's like it's politics, which I guess we
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: should have known anyway. It's flashing lights over to the right.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: And then you've got some rigged thing of a jig
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: thing over here and you get all that all right? Now,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Meanwhile to Buffalo we go. Here, we go Buffalo. So
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: entering the rule on crutches after foot surgery, we had
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Bill's quarterback Josh Allen, Josh Allen, who addressed the blue
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: whale in the room. He commented for the first time
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: on his head coach getting poll axed after the loss
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: to the Broncos in the playoffs. Now, Allen had a
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: lot to say, but we'll focus in on the money quote.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: So Josh Allen said he was very emotional as the
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: owner called him. Pagoula called him with the news that
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: McDermott was being exterminated as the coach of the team
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: in Western New York given the pinksip. So he also
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: mentioned that he took responsibility for it in that he
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: played a role in this. So the question here Bill's
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: quarterback Josh Allen blaming himself for Sean McDermott getting fired.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: Is that authentic or is that optics? Authentic or optics?
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: So it's both authentic and it's strategic. I would say
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: it's one of those deals. What else are you gonna say?
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: If Josh Allen shrugged and say not my problem. Yeah,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: he'd look like a grade A douche nozzle if he
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: had said that this is basic quarterback damage control. Terry Pagoula,
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: the owner, the one who turned this into a soap op.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: But he's the one right the owners out here telling
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: everyone that the things that helped him decide to get
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: rid of Mcdermotdy claimed that after the loss in the
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: Mile High City, the owner Terry Pegoula, walked into the
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: locker room and saw Josh Allen crying, blubbering up and
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: all that after the Broncos loss, and that was the
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: final straw that broke the buffalo's back, or in this case,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: the coach is back. So now Alan Josh Allen's got
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: to eat it publicly. It's like claiming, Hey, it's my
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: fault the buffet Golden Corral. The Golden Corral buffet ran
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: out of butterfly shrimp. I don't work it, don't it's
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: not my job. I don't do that, But it's my
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: fault that we don't have butterfly shrimp at Golden Corral,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: even though it's not your fault. So we know the
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: margins of razor thin. In the playoffs, typically the games
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: are decided in the fourth quarter unless the team doesn't
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: show up like the forty nine ers. And when you're
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: the franchise quarterback. When you're the franchise quarterback, the buck's
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: supposed to stop with you, even if the special teams
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: trips over their own shoelaces and the defense forgets how
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: to tackle. And let's be honest here, this last loss
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: is on Josh Alley. You can make the argument the
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: other ones were not, but this one was absolutely on
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: Josh Allen. He sucked at a time he cannot suck.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: He had four turnovers that melt down in the second
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: quarter there against Denver. That's a crime scene. And for
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: all of the sexy playoff numbers that Josh Allen has,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: it's often that one extra throw or that one scamper
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: in those classic games against the Chiefs where you could have,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: should have would have won, but you didn't. And so yeah,
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: he owns it, and that's what you're supposed to do.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: This is leadership. And even if the Bill's owner is
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: a wack adoodle, and the firing of McDermott was actually
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: baked month ago, banked into the team months ago, meaning
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: that if you don't win in the playoffs. That's it,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: it's over. You still have to play the game now.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: Speaking of that, we're going to stay in Buffalo for
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: the final part of this. The last word here the
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: new Bills coach Joe Brady, Joe Brady is now Tom
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: Joe Brady. So, Joe Brady, I never heard this guy talk.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: Joe Brady expressed his complete support for wide receiver Keon Coleman,
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: the battle wide receiver. In fact, he went over the
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: top here as Joe Brady said that Keon Coleman is
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: going to be a Buffalo Bill. He said that close
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: quote on that quote continued later, Joe Brady, the new
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: coach in Buffalo, said, I told Keon when I got hired,
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: the best thing that happened to Keon Coleman was me
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: being the head coach, Brady said, pumping his chest out
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: and all that stuff. He said, I was one of
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: the ones that stood on the table for Keon Coleman,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: and I believe in Keon Coleman now. Brady then dismissed
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: the incompetence of the player in twenty twenty five, saying
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: it was a learning year for Coleman, who was the
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: second round pick in the twenty twenty four NFL draft,
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: he said it was a learning year. Twenty five was
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: a learning year, he claimed, So any, I mean, we're
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: gonna break it down a million ways and all that.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: This comes after the owner, Terry Pagula, had that famous
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: news conference where he publicly stated that the coaching staff,
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: under Sean mcdner, it pushed to draft Coleman. That became
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: a talking point because Coleman sucks and he's bad at
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: his job, and it was not the GM Brandon Bean's fault.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: He absolved being of any wrongdoing, highlighting how bad a
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: player Keon Coleman is and whatnot.
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: And he was.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: He was an abject failure with the bill. So the question, though,
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: here's how we're going to get into this. So yet
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: the new coach, Joe Brady claiming that he stood on
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: the table for Keon Coleman, and you know, twenty twenty
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: five was just a learning year. What jumps out at
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: you about all this? So I mentioned this, I don't
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: know if you were pan attention. I had never heard
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: this cat speak Joe Brady. I don't remember. Maybe when
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: he was in college he was at LSU with Burrow
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: and those guys, and maybe he spoke at some point,
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: but I just remember the Cajun Fred Flintstone talking. I
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: don't remember Joe Brady, so i'd never really heard him speak.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: And now that we've heard the cat out of the bag,
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: it appears that he is a dopple ganger of Tony
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: Robbins giving a sermon, Awaken the giant within, raw raw,
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: clap clap, walk on fire and when you peel back
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: the curtain. Keon Coleman, so far and all we have
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: is to judge your body work, Keon Coleman from the
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: outside looking in. Keon Coleman treated the NFL like it
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: was a part time job. And he was working the
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: night shift at McDonald's and he didn't really like the job,
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: and he had to clean the ice cream machine and
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: he didn't want to do that, and so he just
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: not show up. But he was late to meetings. He
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: was a healthy scratch multiple times piling up. Those things
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: were plying up like parking tickets. There was zero sense
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: of urgency. The watch, you McCall, it was not locked in.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: And Brady, Joe Brady calling twenty twenty five a learning
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: year is wild spin And I might be wrong. I
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: don't really know. I'm just in the Overnight Show, so
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: what do I know? But I don't think the NFL
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: is a trade school. It's like you can go and
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: become a plumber and you go to school and you
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: learn about that and make good money and have a
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: good life and good career and all that. However, the
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: NFL is like it's supposed to be uber competitive, right,
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: this is the NFL not for long. Jerry Glanville taught
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: me that when I was a little boy, this old
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: NFL coach. NFL stands for not for long. And there
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: is no on the job training, like you either do
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: or you don't, and if you don't, you are replaced.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: And so this feels like Joe Brady crawling into the
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: trunk looking for a fix a flat because Coleman, Keon
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: Coleman's got a he's got a flat tire. And if
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: we're just keeping it real here the other issue now,
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: I still believe Keon Coleman will be gone by the
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: time we get through the NFL Draft. It'll be traded
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: on like day three of the draft, when no one's
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: paying attention for a conditional something something. His current value, though,
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: I looked it up. If you look at the websites
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: that track value, Keon Coleman's value in the trade market
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: is a bag of fertilizer which is half used, and
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: some farts to be named later. And they're not even
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: wet farts, they're just regular farts. So belief is nice.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: Productions seemingly more important than belief. And this, yeah, I
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: mean this, This guy can't even show up on time,
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: and the coaches out there saying, I know it was metaphorical,
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: but I got on the table for this guy. Why
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: would you get on the table for a guy it
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: doesn't like his job, doesn't show up to his job.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: It's mind boch like they they must think, he must
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: think Joe Brady, this guy is so talented that he
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: gets him all horny, that he's so down, because that
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: must be it, right Otherwise, if some if you have
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: an employee that doesn't show up and doesn't take their
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: job seriously and lolly gags around like why are you
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: going to bat for the guy? Like what are you doing?
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: Does he have the nuclear codes or something like that?
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: The guy's a second round baker who doesn't appear to
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: like his job, and so let him move at a
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: real job. You get them go somewhere else and work somewhere
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: and find out what life's like and all that.

• 19:46
  Speaker 1: Our lead this hour is from Baltimore. Big day for
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: new coaches in the NFL. They were welcomed in the
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: pep rallies. We we we're so excited. Hey, all right,
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: So the Ravens who didn't need to get rid of
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: a coach, but did they welcomed their new poet. Their
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: new lead poet was a gala event Big Media, Spread
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: Sports with Coleman. All the freeloaders were there showing down.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: So following in the footsteps of John Harbaugh was a
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: disciple of John Harbaugh and Jim Harbaugh. If you didn't
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: hear the welcome to town shindig, perhaps not. We're talking
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: about the new coach of the Ravens. Jesse Minter is
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: his name, and defense is his game. He was with
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: the Chargers with Jim Harbaugh last couple of years, so
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: he was welcomed and he immediately announced the money quote.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: We're not going to give you all the nonsense. The
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: money quote here from jesse Minter. He said that he
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: was looking forward to building a relationship with the quarterback
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. In fact, just to prove I'm not lying
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: about this, here is jesse Minter waxing poetic about what
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: he's looking to do with the two time MVP and
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: epic video game player, Lamar Jackson.
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: Lamar and I have had multiple conversations. It's been great.
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: It's been great to get to know him. I think
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: relationships take time, and so you don't become the head
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: coach of the Ravens and expect to have a deep
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: relationship with anybody.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: So those take time.
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: We've we've been working towards that already, We've had wonderful conversations.
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: Look forward to many, many more. I just look forward
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: to connecting with him, helping him become the best version
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: of himself, creating a team identity that allows him to thrive,
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: which he's already proven to be an elite, elite, one
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: of the best, the best player in the National Football League,
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: and put a team around him that allows him to
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: reach out ultimate goal of bringing a Super Bowl back
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: to Baltimore.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: Okay, so that's a good jumping off point. Let us
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: discuss the question. You just heard it, the new Ravens
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: coach Jesse Minter wanting to build a bond with Lamar Jackson.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: How do you see this working out? How do you
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: see this one working out? So I've got my observations,
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: I got Elvis Presley Tender, and I hop and we
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: will combine all of these things together and we are
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: gonna play tick tack two is what we're going to play.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: So number one, all right, enough enough, all right, so
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: buckle up the old Woody roller coaster, the woody roller
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: coaster here because this was a verbal bouquet for Lamar.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: Now we know, those of you that pay close attention
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: know that all Jesse Mintor really said was Lamar Jackson
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: is as good as every other player in the NFL.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: Because the term best means as good as all the
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: others in that category. He didn't say that he was
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: better than all the other players. He said he was
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: the best player in the NFL. Therefore, Jesse Mintor thinks
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: that Lamar Jackson is good as that stiff Justin Herbert
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: and Kyler Murray and all these other guys. So it's
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: what you have to do right the toll you paid
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: across the bridge. And the reality is when you talk
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: about whether or not you can build a bond with
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, if you do not connect with Lamar, you
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: do not last. It is non negotiable. It's one of
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: those non negotiable situations here. The Baltimore job lives and
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: dies with Lamar Jackson. It does. If you lose Lamar,
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: you're not a head coach. You're doing the moonwalk and
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: you're a generic coordinator picking up frequent flyer miles is
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: what you are. If this goes sideways, like if this
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: makes a dramatic turn sideways, it's Elvis Presley return to
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: sender stamp it gone see you later. He'll be back
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: as a defensive coordinator for the Chargers or wherever else.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: But mintor assuming, assuming he can can get a bond here,
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: then you got something. If not, again, you just go
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: over to Express pro and you update your profile and
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: all that. The ugly truth is, and this has now
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: been confirmed, My instinct was proper. My instinct validated what
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: we initially said. When Lamar Jackson failed to endorse John
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: Harbaugh after the ravens idiot kicker cost them a playoff
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: berth against the Pittsburgh Steelers, and Lamar was asked point
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: blank whether whether or not in the locker room you
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: want John Harbaugh back, And he gave some bull crap excuse,
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: which some of you dumb people thought, Oh, it's okay.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: It was just after the game. You get why would
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: he be able to endorse his coach right after the game. Well,
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: it turns out he was stabbing John Harbaugh on the back.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: He's a coach killer, Lamar Jackson. He was at loggerheads
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: with John Harbaugh, and this was apparently going on behind
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: the scenes, and the chatter is that it reached crescendo
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: when that story. Forget what publication in Baltimore, but was
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: it the Baltimore Son anything one of the there's like
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: two possibilities. They wrote the story that claimed that Lamar
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: Jackson fell asleep in meetings, he wasn't taking his job
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: seriously and all that stuff. And so the theory was
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: they think that came from Harbaughs people and then Lamar
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: got all upset and that's that. And now either way
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: there was something there, whether that's it or something else,
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: and that does matter. Right. The kemodo dragon in the
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: room continues to be that this is one of the
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: biggest choke artists in the playoffs. Lamar Jackson a terrible
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: big game quarterback despite all the sex appeal that he's
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: got during the regular season. Eight years with the Raid,
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: I can't believe it's been that long. That's wild to me.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: I believe it's eight seasons now, three playoff wins. In
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: some of those playoff wins, he was terrible. Never passed
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: the AFC Championship Game. The bigger the stage, the shakier
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: the return. And that's been the way it has gone
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: for Lamar. So yeah, you bond all you want. And
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: yet if January comes around and Lamar turns into a
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: pops and playoff, Lamar shows up blank blank bye bye,
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: see you later, and Jesse Mintter's tenure will not even
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: be a footnote in Ravens history. I didn't get the
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: sense this is going to be one of the great leaders.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: Now you can't go to Gaga one way or the other.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: On the opening news conference, I didn't get the vibe
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: this guy's gonna be really good. I didn't get that.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: I got like he's just a diamond dozen. There's nothing
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: really special about him. He's just just a coach, a jack.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: He's just there all right now. Pitch duo. We head
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: to the Great White North. We go a lot of buzz,
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: you can hear it, a lot of buses, a lot
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: of buzz about the Vikings. Now, some of this coming
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: from Mobile, where all the NFL scouts are gathered to
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: It's like a mini meat market there. They're trying to
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: figure out who they're gonna draft and who's gonna break
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: their heart next year, and they draft them in April.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: So on one hand, there's some noise saying, well, how
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: the Vikings have faith in JJ McCarthy, the quarterback from Michigan,
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: a Michigan man, although he's not from Michigan, that faith
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: in JJ McCarthy, And ye, yeah, they're worried about the
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: injuries and that's not ideal. That's the main worry. And
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: then on the other hand, there's reports that Minnesota is
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: also keeping an eye on forty nine or backup quarterback
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: Mac Jones and colts back up Anthony Richardson as possible
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: add on items. No, how you order the meal and
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: you can add on some other items there. Yeah, so
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: the question Vikings supposedly and miss old Vikings executives, they
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: like JJ McCarthy, yet are kicking the tires on mac
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: Jones and Anthony Richardson. So how does all of this
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: sound to you? Thanks for asking? All right? So the
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: Purple people eaters tell us that JJ McCarthy's the guy,
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: and yet their actions you know what this is like
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: the analogies. It's like the sorority girl that swears she's
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: head over heels for her boyfriend and then secretly under
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: the table at dinner she's scrolling tender trying to find
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: some other Schmendrick. It's mixed messages. McCarthy has shown nothing.
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: There's no evidence that he's any good. He's heading into
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: year three although he didn't play his first year, and
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: let's be real here, guy had a red shirt season
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: to learn by osmosis and went out there and rode
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: the vomit comment. His only elite skill. I'm gonna be
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: Manny bright soon. I'm gonna be totally negative guy here,
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: overnight gas bag negative guy. The only elite skill that
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: he has so far has been he knows exactly where
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: to sit when he goes to the trainer's room and
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: get a massage. That's it. He's an elite guy in
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: the trainer's room. He's an all pro if you're a doctor,
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: because he keeps you busy, and he's got the medical
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: chart of a ninety year old and the stat line
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: of someone who's in the witness protection program. And so
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: you make the call, what should the Vikings do. It's
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: obvious what they're doing is their window shopping, whether or
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: not they want to give up what they have to
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: give up to get these players. They're kicking the tires
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: on mac Jones, who, let's face it, is a failed starter.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: He had a chance with the Patriots. He's the guy
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: that was in there with that first wave of quarterbacks
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: after Tom Brady left with Cam Newton and mac Jones
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: and did not play at a high level. He looks
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: like he's a good backup, bad starter. Then you've got
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson, who's claimed a famous He was overdrafted because
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: Jim Mersey was on a bender apparently and recommended drafting
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson, and he's most famous. This is not good.
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: You're when you're most famous for quitting, for tapping out
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: and pretending you're a boxer and saying no moss. That's
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: that's a problem. So and the reason the Vikings would
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: even consider going down either one of those roads is
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: rather obvious. That they had Sam Donald who's about to
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: choke in the Super Bowl and Daniel Jones, who fell
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: apart at the end for the Colts. But they did
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: play for the regular season. By NFL standards, they played
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: as high level reclamation projects. And so you look at
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: the GM there Quazy Adolpha Mensa, it's a mouthful and
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: he's like I worked with Donald before, so let's bring
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: somebody else in. Well, why don't we Let's have an episode.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: We're gonna do an episode of Extreme Makeover Quarterback Edition.
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: Who Says No? And the Vikings quarterback room. It's not
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: really moving forward. It's stuck in the neutral zone and
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: it's hovering in between waiting for a miracle that isn't
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: coming and just depression. It's in between. It's in between
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: those things. Now final point to phill A Delphia we go.
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: There were some rumors in the the echo chamber that
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: the Eagles could not find an offensive coordinator, so Nick
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: Sirianni was gonna end up being the de facto offensive
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: coordinator and nobody wanted to Jock Well, that turned out
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: to be erroneus because some news out of the Delaware
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: Valley the Eagles have named a new offensive coordinator. I
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: know you're fascinated by that. So we've learned that Nick
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: Sirianni has handpicked former Green Bay Packer assistant Sean Manion
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: as their new offensive coordinator. Huh why set Yeah, okay, yeah,
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: So the Cotton Candy Machine, the PR department for the
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: Philadelphia football team selling the fact that Manion played under
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: Sean McVay and Kevin O'Connell when he was with the Rams,
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: longtime Rams backup quarterback, and then he served as the
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: quarterback coach at lambeau Field under head coach Matt Lafleur.
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: So they're selling the resumes. It's one of those bowld
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: bet on you quarterback development, modern offense guy, that whole
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: crap question. So the Eagles hire Sean Mannon as their
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: new OC What does this tell us? It took a
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: while to get here, but what does this tell us?
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: So it tells me this job is radio active, unwanted.
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: We are talking about Chero Noble with a headset Cheron
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: Noble with a headset two years removed, two years removed
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: from winning the Super Bowl, and this is the best
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: that you can do. Manion, who was only there a
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: couple of years in the as a coach in the NFL,
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: and I remember with the Rams and when he was
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: playing for the Rams, it was always why I hope
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: he didn't get in the game. We're porked. If he
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: gets in the game, we can't. We had no chance.
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: So two years as an NFL assistant, he has not
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: been a play caller. And now he's supposed to walk
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: into a veteran in Leyden locker room with a lot
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: of big egos, like he's Moses with the tablets and
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: he's gonna stroll in there. Hello boys, Uh okay, good.
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: And it also reminds us that this is a starter job.
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: It should not be a starter job. It's a starter job.
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: It screams of instability. Two offensive coordinators in two years.
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts every year has a new offensive coordinator, and
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: so it's a guy essentially an intern two years in
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: coaching and now you're the offensive coordinator. You talk about
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: leapfrocking some other people and the chatter about bringing the
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: Sean McVay rams offense to the Delaware Valley. That is
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: Paulie with a capitol peak. Come on, that's I hoop
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: fluffy pancakes is what that is. It's marketing fluff. Fluffy
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: mcfluff is what that is. The problem with that is
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts ain't running the Sean McVay offense. It's not happening.
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: And the reason why is because he's unable to do it. Otherwise,
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: the Eagles would already want they would have already run
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: a version of that offense if he had the skill set.
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: It's not like the NFL doesn't know how to run
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: the McVeigh offense. Most of the teams run a version
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: of what McVeigh does these days anyway, So he's Jalen Hurts.
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: The one thing he does really well is the tushy pushy,
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: and he can't make all the throws, and so that
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: train derailed off the tracks before it left the station.
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: The buzz is that the team in Philadelphia offered Brian
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: Dayball the job, and Dave Ball had multiple offers the
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: former Giants coach, and he picked Nashville over Philadelphia rather
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: than coach Jalen Hurts and his old running backs to
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: Kwon Barkley. He instead chose Nashville so he could coach.
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: We asked cam mord We asked cam Ward, and then
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: you got Mike McDaniel, which would have been a terrible fit,
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: just an absolutely horrific fit, but would have been great
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: for talk radio, the old Dolphin coach. And he's right
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: now eating a bacon wrapped hot dog somewhere in the
• 35:02

  Speaker 5: Well.
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: Look, it is being reported that the Steelers have officially
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: given Aaron Rodgers a timeline and an ultimatum. Rodgers has
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: basically one month to figure out what he wants to do,
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: as the team wants an answer before free agency. Then
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: do you think Rogers will decide by them?
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: Rodgers, the way he's wired, He's gonna do things on
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: his own time. He's not rushing to go back to
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: Pittsburgh or anything like that with Tomlin not there, and
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure that he and McCarthy were not on
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: great terms at the end of McCarthy's running Green Bay.
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: So I he will do what Rogers wants to do,
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: and he'll take his time, go have some ayahuasca, hang
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: out with Joe Rogan, you know, kill Bigfoot, and then
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: he'll decide next.
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: On Wednesday, it was reported that Jason Tatum is pumping
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: the brakes on his rehab and is now considering sitting
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: out the entire season, Ben, the Celtics have done pretty
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: well without him. You think Jalen Brown can be the
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: guy to take them on a deep playoff run.
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: Well, he's not the guy. He's played great Jalen Brown
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: this season, and he's one of the guys in the
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: MVP conversation. He's behind Shay Jogis, Alexander Robbison some other guys.
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: But yeah, the East isn't that good. Like in the East,
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: they got a shot. The Celtics have a shot. They're
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: not consistent, they have a shot.
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: Next, the Raiders and the Cardinals are the last two
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: head coaching jobs remaining to be filled. Ben, which one
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: is the better job?
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: Okay, so really both teams suck. The Raiders used to
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: be good so that you could wake up the echoes
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: of the Raiders. The Cardinals have never been good. And
