• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Our lead this hour from the Cowboys. Oh yeah, well
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: why not? So now Dallas played the Rams. I can't
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: get into these these exhibition games. I can't. I know
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: there are some people that are better people than me
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: that can talk about these exhibition games. I can't do it.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: I just I can't. I try to watch two seconds
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: of them. I want to puke in my mouth watching
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: this crap. That being said, That being said, I do
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: have a talk show to do right now. And there
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: are some stories that came out of these exhibition football games.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: One of them Dallas losing to the Rams over the
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: weekend in a practice game, not real game, not real game,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: a practice game. We Rams won, all right. So quarterback
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Joe Milton, quarterback Joe Milton, who played for the Patriots
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: last year now with the Dallas Cowboys, and he played
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: in that game, played a lot in that game, did
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: not do anything all that memorable as the QB two
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: for the Cowboys. It was at meh, meh performance for
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Joe Milton, and that was that left bruising his shoulder
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: in the third corps, so he left the game early,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: although he was likely going to come out of the
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: game anyway. Around that time, he gave himself a D minus.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: He gave himself the D the D minus grade on that. However,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: that's not what I want to chat with you about.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: It will lead up to that exhibition game. Coaches say
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: the darnedest things. We got a hum dinger humdinger of
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: a quote recently from the coach I say that loosely
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: coach in Dallas. If you did not hear what he said,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: perhaps not. Coach Brian Schottenheimer shotzi Brian Schottenheimer describing Joe
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Milton's passes as quote, piss missiles. That's what he said.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: That's a quote from the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: When speaking to reporters prior to that Cowboy exhibition game
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: with the Rams, he compared his throwing to that of
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Brett Farv, the Hall of Fame former Green Bay Packer quarterback.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: So you know what that means. Let's parse the words.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Let's parse the words here of the Cowboys coach Brian
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Schottenheimer as we discuss so Brian Schottenheimer up selling obviously
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: up selling backup quarterback Joe Milton saying that he throws
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: quote piss missiles, compared him to Brett Farv Is this
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: something or is this nothing? All right? So I've got twister,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: hot tub and cinnabun. Cinnabun so good, and we'll combine
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: all of these things together, and we are going to
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: make the Gabba Ghoul. We're gonna make the Gabba gol
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: so a. Where's the beef? The first question is where
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: is the beef? This is a burger. It's not an
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: in and out burger, is not a McDonald's Burger's not
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: a whopper from Burger King. It is a nothing burger,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: is what it is. It's your typical coach high Garbai
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: garbais listen. How many let me ask a questions, how
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: many quarterbacks have great arm talent in the month of August?
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: How many? The answer all of them physically right, They're
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: all listen, they're there, they're in the NFL. They all
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: can make all the throws and all that stuff. So listen,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Joe Milton. If you look at the raw ingredients, he's
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: a specimen. He's got the prototypical cannon arm and mobilities,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: the whole deal, and then some and then some, and
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: the kind of stuff that coaches and scouts get all
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: horny for. They're, oh, man, the problem is it's all unprocessed.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: It is all unprocessed. And you can throw a fastball
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: and just zing it downfield, and it can also go
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: into the fifteenth throw and that's great. Can you consistently
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: read the defense and find the open receiver and all that?
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Can you hit the open player more importantly underneath when
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: it's third down and four or are you one of
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: those checkdown charlie guys when it is I say, third
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: and seven, and you complete a pass at the line
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: of scrimmage and then it gets five yards so you
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: come up short, but your completion percentage is good. Milton
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: was chased out of New England in part because Drake May,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: who was the chosen one, the chosen one there with
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: the Patriots. Drake May was uncomfortable. So those around the
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Patriots said, with Joe Milton, which is odd because if
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: you look at the resume of the new Cowboy backup
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: quarterback here Joe Milton. His biggest NFL moment, the thing
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: that stands out on his resume was a believe it
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: was Week eighteen last year, last year when he beat
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: the Buffalo bill backups backups in the final game of
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: the regular season, a meaningless game. That's it. That's the resume,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: that's all. Now, regardless of that, you can't just overlook
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: the fact. And this is why I'm intrigued by this
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: to a point, not just the great quote from Schoenheimer
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: piss missile describing the throws, but the fact that you've
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: got the incompetent Dakota Prescott as QB won there in Dallas.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: The man is made of toilet paper. And I'm not
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: talking about charman. I'm talking about one plied toilet paper
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: that you see at a truck stop on the side
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: of the Jersey Turnpike. That's what I'm talking about, that
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: one plied toilet paper. He's always hurt. And Jerry Jones
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: knows this. He's aware of this because it happens every
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: year where Dakota Prescott gets hurt. So Jerry Jones is
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: out there playing twister now nobody wants to see Jerry
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Jones play twister, But Joe Milton is one twisted ankle
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: or twisted knee or tweaked elbow away from playing in
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: the regular season for the Dallas Cowboys. And while again
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: piss missile, great quote, really, good quote, wonderful. However, Joe Milton,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: if you look at the comparison, it's like, well, certainly
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: more of a JaMarcus Russell, though Russell was the number
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: one over of the old Oakland Raiders. I'm old, I
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: remember the Raiders played in Oakland, and Brett Farv certainly
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: nowhere near Brett Farrv. Joe Milton in that category. Now,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: we would enjoy, we would absolutely enjoy watching him play
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: in real game. Now. Why is that, I'll tell you
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: because of chaos with a capital C. Chaos with a
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: capital C. Here it could be awesome, right, real games.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: So there's a little bit of intrigue there. Why not
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: see what he can do? But for now, we're doing
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: the show right now. For now, this is just a
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: nice puffy pastry in August, a nice delicious pastry served
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: up in August, and Brian Schottenheimer trying to build up
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: the player and give him some false confidence and all that,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: and that's really what he's going for here. Now, we
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: will revisit this. We're gonna file this one away. We're
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: gonna revisit this around week three when Dak Prescott feels
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: a twinge in his hamstring, and then we'll revisit all
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: this now, Page two. Staying though, staying in Jerry's world,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: because we had a wonderful mall mate, a wonderful moment.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: I did not see this live, but let me set
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: the scene here for you. So again, Cowboys preseason. Cowboys
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: playing a nothing game against the Rams in the hood
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: in Inglewood on Saturday. And Ceedee Lamb. That's a high
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: paid wide receiver, not an actual Lamb, a football player
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: named Lamb, Ceedee Lamb. So Ceedee Lamb doesn't even playing
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: the game. Why would he. He's a star, he's a diva.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: Divas don't play. Stars don't play in these first exhibition games.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: So fine, he didn't play in the game, but he's there.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: He doesn't take a snap in the game. He's not
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: wearing a uniform. You're not able to take a snap.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: And so somehow, some way, this player, Ceedee Lamb, somehow
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: manages to get the biggest hit of the game. He
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: was involved in the biggest hit of the game. Well,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: how did he do that? I don't understand, all right,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: So without even being in uniform again, we'll go back
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: to Joe Milton, the backup quarterback who played a lot
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: because this was an exhibition game. So Joe Milton is
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: in there and he unquirks a deep pass down the
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: sideline to someone named Jonathan Mingo to the Mingo down
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: the sidelines and Lamb who is standing there right on
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: that white painted area and that stripe on the sidelines
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: where you're not allowed to be that literally is the
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: get out of the way zone in football. And so
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: he's in the lane where the officials are running down
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: the field, and sure enough he starts celebrating like this
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: is the Super Bowl. Cose playing for the Cowboys. They
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: don't actually get to the Super Bowl, so you have
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: to celebrate these kind of things. And so he was
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: so engaged, so caught up into the moment. How caught
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: up was he, Cede Lamb. He was so caught up
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: he did not notice in his peripheral vision a bad
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: situational awareness, did not notice the side judge barely down
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: the sideline in full sprint. Eh ca boom a cup boom.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: It was great. Obliterated the side a sideline judge there
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: obliterated Ceedee Lamb from behind, blind side hit pancake in
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: Madden on the blind side. Fifteen yard penalty for the
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: Cowboys for unsportsmanlike conduct. And it's good to know that
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: the coaches have changed, that the calendar has changed, all
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: of this has changed, all of this has changed, and
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: yet here we are. So my reaction to that particular place, well, yes,
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: it was entertaining. It was entertaining, I'll give you that.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: But my reaction to the Cowboy wide receiver Ceedee Lamb
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: being trucked in a exhibition game that he didn't even
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: play in, I loved it. This was exactly exactly the
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: kind of dopey staff that the preseason is fourth. That
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: was my first thought. Here, what a bonehead move. And
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: you can't keep your third or fourth or fifth string
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: this guy and that guy and these battles. You know,
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: some people into that kind of stuff, the analytical crowds
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: into that. Give me an all pro level player in
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: street close getting bulldozed by a referee any day, NFL films.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: You know what they need to do. They need to
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: go in the hot tub time machine. Go into the
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: hot tub time machine and bring back the classic old
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: school NFL's Greatest follies. Bring that back and you can
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: just stream it. You don't have to do the DVD.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: You don't have to do obviously the VHS, that's old tech.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: But you can bring back NFL's Greatest follies and slap
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: CD Lamb in there right in between. The mascot falling
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: off the ATV always a classic, always very entertaining. The
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: quarterback who lines up behind the guard not realizing where
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: they are on the field, that's also very entertaining. Put
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: the Dunce cap on him, and CD seemed to appreciate
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: the fact that he was the butt of the joke.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: After the game, and be cause you can have all
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: the follies, the usual follies, the fumbles, the ball bouncing
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: off a player's helmet, all that stuff just bobbled passes here,
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: there and everywhere. You know, guys slipping on the logo
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: and now you can add ceedee Lamb, the cowboy player
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: not in uniform and taking a shoulder from the side judge.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: There like he's running the Oklahoma drill. And it was
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: very very inertending, so instant classic and the rookie sock
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: puppet coach Brian Schottenheimer out there saying that CD knows better,
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: he knows better, and that is the Dallas Cowboys in
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: a nutshell. As we said, things change, the calendar changes,
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: the names change, the coaches changed, and all that. But
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: even in August, even in August, they're still drawing thumb
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: penalties for nothing, for nothing at all, preseason or regular season.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: You can count on Dallas for one thing, entertainment at
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: their own expense, and they did it it yet again.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: Now turning the page on that last word, we go
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: to Cleveland, the Mistake by the Lake. That is where
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: Shadur Sanders, rookie quarterback Brownies out there over the weekend
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: they played the Panthers. Also of course all these games
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: meaningless exhibition games and all that stuff, and he apparently
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: it was very good. The numbers were good by all accounts.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: So Shuldar Sanders went out there and looked like he
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: was back in Colorado and he was playing Colorado State
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: or Texas Tech and lighting up the stat sheet, except
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: he was wearing an NFL uniform and lighting up the
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: stat sheet in this game. That was not the story here. No, no, no, no,
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: that's not the story. The story here happened after the game,
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: not during the game, but after the game. And if
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: you saw this or heard about it, you know where
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: I'm going with this. Maybe not, he meaning Shadar Sanders confronted,
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: confronted a longtime Cleveland sports radio gas bag, and I
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: guess this guy works on the Browns broadcasts as well.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: During the exhibition season in the tunnel Tony GROSSI longtime
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: Cleveland media guy, and the Sanders was recorded there. The
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: message to the sports radio gas bag. The message was
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: you always say negative stuff about me. Never seen you
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: say anything positive. That was the gist of the quote.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: So then you had Dion Sanders come out and he
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: made his comment. He was of course, he's the patriarch
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: of the family. And Dion Sanders insisting that Shuder Sanders
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: tunes out all the media rhetoric, all the noise from
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: the media, does not hear anything, all right, that's what
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: Dion was selling. He's oh no, no, he does not
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: know the narrative, does not know any of that stuff.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: So what is your verdict, what is your vertic on
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: the Browns rookie quarterback Shoulder Sanders confronting a Cleveland sports
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: radio host over negative commentary about his play. So on
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: this one, as as Big Red would say, quoting Andy Reid,
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: film don't lie, Film don't lie. So if you watch
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: the film or hear the audio from the film, should
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: it was preseason game number one, number one? You shredded guys. Congratulations?
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: Who will be selling insurance or maybe they'll be trying
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: their hand at door dash next month and try to
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: deliver some sandwiches. But it's not the super Bowl. This
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: is not I know, based on the preponderance of the evidence,
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: you might think it's the super Bowl, but it's not,
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: and it is indisputable. It is indisputable. Shoulder is a
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: consumer of sports talk radio, So for that, brav, he's listening.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: And to be perfectly clear, these guys are always listening,
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: and they're not listening. They have relatives who do listen
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: and monitor everything that is said twenty four hours a day,
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: and they read every word about them. Should certainly is
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: doing that, which is fine if you're a fan. If
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: you're the quarterback, that's bad news. Browns is what that is?
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: Bad news Browns here. Now, I get the fact. Listen,
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: he's twenty three years old and he grew up in
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: a generation where everyone's got a platform and you gotta
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: speak your mind, keep it real, all that stuff, right. However,
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: the fact that a rookie, a rookie quarterback got time
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: to in the bowels of the stadium hunt down the
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: sixty eight year old radio guy in the tunnel not
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: a great look. It screams insecurity, is what. It screams insecurity.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: And you gotta know time and place, time and place.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: There's always a camera there. And the radio guy. I
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: don't know this guy. I mean, we've talked about it
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: a few times over the years because he's gotten involved
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: in these type of situations. But he's been doing this
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: job for many, many decades. He's old school, he's got
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: a little bit of bite. And you know, younger talk
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: radio hosts, they do a lot of lists. They're lazy,
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: they do a lot of lists, and they don't have
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: strong opinions. That's the modern sports talk radio host The
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: old school guys though, they would throw fire, right, they
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: would have a flame throw and all that. So, yeah,
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: I get there's a lot of the social media fanboys
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: out there that are, oh man, shoo, there's the goat,
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: because he had good numbers and looked pretty good against
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: a Carolina team backups for Carolina in the first exhibition game,
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: and you know, all excited. He completed a slant against
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: a guy who will be working the counter at the
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: cinnabon at the airport in Charlotte in a couple of weeks.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: And as far as the critic, that's his job, and
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: I go back a refresher course of you will a reminder,
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: a reminder. The critic is the unleaded gasoline of sports
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: that you need that fuel, You need that fuel. Without it,
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: the whole thing is just vanilla ice cream. And it's unlistenable.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: If you've ever heard a boring sports radio host, my god,
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: is there anything worse in the world than someone that's
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: just dull and Moore has no opinion. It's horrible. But
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: every athlete, I mean, as long as I've been doing this,
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: every athlete, when they reach a peak, they reach the
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: top of the mountain, there it's always the hater that
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: is brought up. It's the they didn't think we could
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: do it, they didn't believe in us. This person didn't
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: believe in us. And yet they also say, well, I
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: don't listen to the noise and all that stuff. And
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: so Michael Jordan, the greatest ever to play basketball by
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: our country mile over every other stiff out there. Michael
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: Jordan had the slights right. The people have slighted him.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: Tom Brady had that late round six round draft pick
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: thing that he wore on his shoulder there, and so
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: I guess sure now apparently has the chip with a
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: sports radio guy in Cleveland. So my advice, it's late
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: night radio advice here. Stop acting like a thin skinned
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: Instagram influencer and try to act the part, at least
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: pretend to act the part as an NFL quarterback. And
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: if you want sports radio gas bags, old school guys
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: that still have critique to say something positive about you,
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: then win actual games. Not against Carolina in week one
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: of the exhibition season. We're talking about December. We're talking
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: about down the line, beating Baltimore in Baltimore, out playing
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. Do that, and then everyone will be shutting
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: up quicker and faster than you can possibly imagine. Until then,
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: Until then, these guys will continue to stay in business
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: and there can stay mad and angry and all that stuff.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: And so that's where we are.

• 24:00
  Speaker 1: So we talk about the news of the day or
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: lead this hour from the Garden State, and that is
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: where the Jets coach Aaron Glenn, Aaron Glenn, longtime Lion
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: defensive guru, if you want to call him that. Aaron
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: Glenn waxing poetic recently about his quarterback. That's my quarterback,
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: Justin Fields, Justin Fields, the vagabond football hobo who failed
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: in Chicago and failed in Pittsburgh and now the carpetbagger
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: going to Jersey trying to make it with the Jets.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: So I know you heard what he said. Perhaps not.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: We have audio on this Here is Aaron Glenn commenting
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: on his quarterback, Justin Fields and the criticism that his
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: quarterback is going to get. Take a listen, let's go
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: to the audio tape.
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: So much noise on the outside. And again I've told
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: you guys, let's and I'll tell him this. He's gonna
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: get criticized for every little thing. And the good thing
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: about him is he is so mature. We talk about
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: this on a consistent basis that he doesn't care, all right.
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: The only thing that we care about is how is
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: he operating and is he getting better? And we see
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: that in house, so we love where he's at right now.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: All right. So that was Aaron Glenn. The key part
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: of that two words, doesn't care about the media, narrative
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: and all that, and he but praised how mature he is. Okay, congratulations.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: So let us discuss the question Jets coach Aaron Glenn,
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: as you just heard coach of the Jets, Aaron Glenn
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: saying quarterback Justin Fields quote doesn't care about the media,
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: saying he'll be a criticized for every little thing. Do
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: you believe that Justin Fields does not care about the
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: critics and he's so mature, he doesn't care. So my
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: observations on this one. I've got Craftsman, doctor Strange, and Sephora,
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: three things that have never been thrown together. But yet
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: here we go, and we'll put them all together, and
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: we are gonna make the Baba Ganooche. We're gonna make
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: the Baba Ganoosh. Now, number I said number one. Now,
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: when it comes to Justin Fields, I am firmly on
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: the side of the aisle that is agnostic. I'm a
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: non believer. I am a non believer on Justin Fields.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: How about ignoring the cliches and completing the basic five
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: yard pass play? How about that? See, that's been one
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: of the problems. That has been one of the problems.
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: Justin Fields flopped in Chicago. He got benched for the
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: rotting carcass of Russell Wilson in Pittsburgh. And listen, we
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: do not care if he's now Buddha reincarnated. Congratulations zend
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: like Phil Jacks like bull crap. We don't care about that.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: How about you not get sacked on every third play?
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: How about that? Oh, it's the offensive loads full bid,
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: Shut up, you're a moron. It's the NFL. It's not
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: some kind of yoga class. It's not We're not doing
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: hot yoga, although there's a hot yoga studio right across
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: from the Fox Sports radio studios. The numbers do not
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: lie by any measurement. Justin Fields as a quarterback blows
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: in pirate terms. There she blows Justin Fields his record
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: as a starter. When the other team scores more than
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: twenty one points, more than twenty one points, his team
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: has a zero and twenty one record. Now, I didn't
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: play in the NFL. That sucks. That sucks. The numbers
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: don't lie. They're right there in front of you. You
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: literally cannot win with Justin Fields at quarterback based on
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: what has happened, unless the defense is better than average.
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: Even every bridge is not good enough with Justin Fields. Literally,
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, the numbers speak for themselves. And yet the
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: fanboys are out there and they're telling you it's the
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: over its lines fault. It's ner fault. Give me a break.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: Justin Fields is in that Vince Young. If you're old
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: enough to remember the old Texas Longhorns quarterback Vince Young
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: who loved the cheesecake factory, JaMarcus Russell. Yet again comes
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: up on the show and Tim Tebow in that mold
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: of quarterback. All the tools, all the tools, you know,
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: that's the word you always hear from the scouts, the
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: talient talent evaluators. They talk about all the tools. They
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: love talking about tools, Oh my god. And it's kind
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: of like buying a craftsman set. You've got all the
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: tools you can possibly want there. You've got the hammer
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: and congratulations on that's good hammer, craftsman hammer, but you
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: don't have a screwdriver. For some reason, they did not
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: have the screwdriver in there. And that's a job quarterbacked
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: in this case that requires a screwdriver. You don't have one.
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: Justin Fields, no screwdriver doesn't have it right. He's trying
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: to screw in the shelf that he got from Ikea,
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: and he's using a sledgehammer to try to screw in
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: the shelf. Great runner, live arm. If you want him
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: to throw the ball seventy yards and make a great
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: sizzle reel for TikTok man? Is he good man? Is
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: he good? Right? Just absolutely great? That the accuracy don't
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: ask right, forget about it. The release time. That's the biggest,
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: biggest knock on Justin Fields is how long it takes
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: to get rid of the football. He does not treat
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: it like a hot potato. He treats it like it's
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: a stuffed animal and he wants to cuddle with it.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: You can make a tuna fish sandwich, a large, not
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: a small, not a small, A large tuna fish sandwich.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: You can pair the sandwich with all the toppings you
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: could possibly want. In the time that it takes Justin
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: Fields to release the ball. It's a one one thousand
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: and two, one thousand and three, one thousand chickens tuna
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: sandwich has done three with about four one thousand and five,
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: and Bombi throws the ball right now at some point,
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: at some point, just observing on the sidelines, observing the NFL,
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: you have to update the processor. It's kind of like
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: using a computer from nineteen ninety seven and then using
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: a computer from twenty twenty five. Processes things much quicker. Right,
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: You don't have that little thing spinning the wheel spinning. Uh,
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: Justin Fields has a lot of spinning wheel when he's processing,
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: and he just does not has not shown the ability
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: to make the quick decision, the proper decision, and he
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: does not make the throws in time. And so justin
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: fields out there. You talking about his maturity. Ah, he's
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: so mature. He's been in the league now for several
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: years with multiple teams. He's not some raw rookie, although
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: he often looks like a raw rookie when he's out there.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: And you got Aaron Glenn on cbe as predicted, right,
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: what was the scouting report on Aaron Glenn. He's like
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: a poor man's Dan Campbell. He's doing that Tony Robbins
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: bull crap a quarterback therapy. That's the scouting report on
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: Aaron Glenn. All right, enough, justin Field is the summer
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: blockbuster quarterback. All the hype, a lot of hype coming
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: to the Chicago Bears from the Ohio State University, all
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: the trailers. When you looked at the clips online, boy
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: those look good? Man? Did he look good? And you
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: got that superhero poster kind of look to you and
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: all the explosions and all that man looks really good,
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: looks really good. Then you actually watch the film and
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: it's fast and the Furious nine and it's all over again.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: You're like, what are we doing here? Like, what are
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: we doing here? It's loud, it's flashy, and you walk
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: out thinking that one't very good. I mean, why did
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: I spend my time? Why'd I spend my money? That's
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: it rotten tomatoes score, forget about it, forget about how
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: low can you go? How low can you go? But
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: somehow the coach here thinks that the critics, well they
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: just don't get it right, that he's not going to
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: listen to them, and he's very mature, and maybe the
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: critics are right. Though what if they're right? What if
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: the critic in this case is accurate about justin fields? Right? Fields?
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: Is yet another quarterback in his what is this his
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: third proven year? He had approven year with the Bears
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: failed and last year in Pittsburgh a stopover but really
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: a prove it situation. And Mike Tomlin, one of the
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: more respected coaches in the NFL, he thought so much
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: of justin fields he continued to throw out a player
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: that has been done for multiple years in Russell Wilson.
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: But that's how little he thought of justin fields. He
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: wanted to put Russell Wilson out there instead. And so
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: here we are if field does not does not figure
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: things out, and the passing part, the passing part of
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: the job and all the maturity that Aaron Glenn loves
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: to talk about there and not caring about the criticism.
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: You can flush that right down the toilet. There you go.
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: The Jets will move on. They'll bring in some other
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: slub will play quarterback next season. Not page two. We
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: continue a trend of talking about mediocre quarterbacks. We go
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: to Las Vegas. Now they know a thing or two
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: about mediocre quarterbacks in Vegas. After confronting a Seattle fan
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: who had a mean sign, you can't make this stuff up.
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: How embarrassing. So this literally happens, So I don't watch
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: the game. I saw the clip. Raiders played Seattle recently
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: and a fan had a derogatory sign mocking the Raiders
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: quarterback and Raider coach Pete Carroll. Pete Carroll confronted said
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: Seattle fan, there were the bird is the word? The
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: bird is the word. Situations going on with multiple Raider
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: players flicking the bird to the fan. Very upset by
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: a side by a fricking sign. You talk about empowering
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: a Seattle Seahawk fan. What are you doing, you dummies?
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: My God, who cares anyway? So Raider coach Pete Carroll,
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: good old Pete. Now he said this is not about
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: the sign, but he talked about his quarterback, Gino Smith,
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: and said, Gino Smith is quote the leader we needed.
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: He said, can you decode this quote from Pete Carroll,
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: So Pollyanna Pete strikes again, good old Pollyanna, Pete Pete Carro,
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: keep in mind, did not say that Geno Smith is
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: a quote great quarterback. He didn't say that. He did
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: not say he's going to win us a lot of games.
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: Pete Carroll did not say that. He used the L word,
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: which also goes for not only leader but loser. But
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: he used a leader. That is coach speak. That is
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: invisible ink. Coach speak is what it is, invisible ink.
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: Now we are like doctor Strange, and we have a
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: mastery of the mystical arts, a mastery of the mystical arts,
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: and we can translate the meaning the meaning about this.
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: So Carol said leader, because even Pete, good Pollyanna, Pete
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: Carroll cannot blow that much smoke up your keyster about
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: the ability of Geno Smith, the great arm that he
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: has and all this. So let's talk about his locker
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: room presence, just like Aaron Glenn was talking about Justin
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: Field's maturity, then talking about how great Justin Fields is.
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: He talked about his maturity. Well, here's Pete Carroll talking
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: about what a leader Gino Smith is. That's what you say,
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: by the way, about a guy who cannot consistently play
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: at a high level. Hello, exactly, he's a leader. He's
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: a leader. You know who else is a great leader?
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: Alex Smith was a great leader. Ryan Fitzpatrick a great leader,
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: really good locker room guys. Leaders. And Gino is the
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: definition the living, talking, the whole thing, walking embodiment of
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: mid You know, those are the type of quarterbacks that
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: you throw out there and you don't want to tank
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: the season. You don't want to finish with a top
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: five pick, but you also know that you're not going
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: to a super Bowl. You just want to be somewhere
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: in the middle. Somewhere in the middle. Gino is that guy.
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: He's that guy, right, This is the guy you add
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: your rock when you're like, well, listen, we don't want
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: to bottom out, because that's what the Raiders normally do.
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: We don't bought him out, but we also we don't
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: have a franchise guy, so we'll just plug him in
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: there and we'll pretend. And if seventeen things go right,
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: if we have that number one defense in the NFL,
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: the Raiders, and they have great special teams, they have
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: all that going for them, then a couple of weird
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: things happen here and there with turnovers and the play,
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden, the Raiders find themselves in the
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: super Bowl. But because you've got that guy, not a
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: great guy, you just got a guy who's out there.
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: That's what you got. And who are you gonna call?
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: All right, who are you gonna call when things are
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: not looking good? You need a quarterback? Who are you
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: gonna trade for? Gino West is what you're gonna call.
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: His career record eighty three games, starting forty and forty three.
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: Geno Smith. You can practically hear, if you listen closely,
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: you can hear the five hundred mark in and the
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: voice in the voice there when he's in the huddle.
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: Just just average, just average, average average. Gino Smith is
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: the NFL spam at quarterback. He's a spam quarterback. It's
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: the canned meat of quarterbacks that is Geno Smith. And
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: now you can't live off that. You can't live off spam.
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: There are people that love spam and they eat a
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: lot of spam. Many of them live in Hawaii. I'm
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: amazed how much spam are friends in Hawaii eat. But
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: you can live on on spam. Nobody's going to host
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: a dinner party with friends and families and say, hey,
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: what's on the menu spam? No one's doing that. A
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: little salt, little protein, and processed mystery meat is what
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: you got there. I don't know where it is. That's
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: where the Raiders find themselves today. That's where the Raider
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: franchise is. They're so pathetic. How pathetic, God, they're so pathetic.
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: You've got Pete Carroll who's just just out there and
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: you know, essentially drooling over Gino Smith, like this is
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: the I had to get. This is who I want.
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: It's like, calm down, Pete, everything, calm down. You're not
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: getting the Legion of Boom Defense. You're not getting Russell
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: Wilson from twenty thirteen. You're getting Gino, who is a
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: PA quarterback, perfectly adequate quarterback, PA, perfectly adequate quarterback. And
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: you call someone a leader a leader when you can't
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: call them elite because you know they're not elite. You
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: don't want to blatantly lie. It's kind of like saying
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: that you went on a blind date and your blind
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: date has a great personality, really good personality. You're like, okay,
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: what does that mean? That means buckle up? It is
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: the mediocrity. Merry go round, round and round and round
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: and round on the mediocrity. Merry go round, We go
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: all right? Final point? Wait, guy to Miami, Miami, Miami
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: that Dolphins and bare has played an exhibition game. No,
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: I am not going to talk about that. Instead, we
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: have learned over the weekend that there are said to
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: be multiple multiple teams that are monitoring Dolphins wide receiver,
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: the always disgruntled Tyreek Hill, Dolphins wide receiver for a
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: potential trade. Could you see that happening? Could you see
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill actually being traded? The windows seemingly closed once
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: the training camp portion opened up, But there are reports
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: multiple teams are eyeing the Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: for a late training camp trade before the regular season
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: gets going early next month. As we do this show
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: here on this eleventh of August. So I am one
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: thousand percent, one thousand percent in the camp of yes,
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: I could see this happening. The Dolphins should have could
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: have would a trade Tyreek Hill in the offseason. That's
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: what they should have done. They did not do that.
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: Bad job by them, and so here we are. Tyreek
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: Hill is like a high end sports cars, like a Maserati.
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: You got the turbo engine, everything looks really good, and
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: yet the check engine light keeps coming on. The second
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: you stop complimenting the turbo engine, Tyreek hill check engine
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: light pops on just like that. And he's a guy.
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: If you look at his resume, he will take you
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: from zero to sixty in under four seconds. Zero sixty
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: and under four second, and I want out of your
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: team in under two seconds. So zero to sixty in
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: less than four and I want out in under two Tyreek. Now,
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: I'm a talk shows. Tyreek Hill's good for what I
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: do because he does dumb things, and I live on
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: people doing dumb things and then go on them. That's
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: the job profile. I get it. But Tyreek, he's got
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: more mood swings on the sidelines than a Kardashian trying
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: to decide what to get at Spura, right, And it's
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: just there's a lot going on there. One minute, he's
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: grinning ear to ear, the happiest guy in the world, right,
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: and he just burns some defensive back for an eighty
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: yard catch and run touchdown. The next he's giving you
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: the silent treatment because he only had eight targets and
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: he thought he was gonna get nine or ten, but
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: she only threw the ball to him eight times, and
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: that's clearly not enough for a player of the pedigree
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: of Tyreek Hill. So we suspect what's going on here
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: with no insider information, we suspect that Miami is putting
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: out feels kind of like the drunk, horny guy on
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: Tinder at one p thirty or two o'clock in the morning.
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: Hey you up, what are you up to? You know,
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: it's like seeing if anyone else is also drunk enough
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: to take on the Now there are teams out there
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: that makes sense. The obvious ones, teams that are in
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: it to win it, the Detroit Lions, the Washington Commanders
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: who have these are both NFC teams. The Commanders have
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: a problem with Terry McLaurin, so there's an option there.
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: And then you look at some other teams in the
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: in the AFC. If the Dolphins would be willing to
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: deal the teams that they could use Tyreek Hill, like
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: the Chargers and the Broncos as possibilities.

• 43:40
  Speaker 5: John Gruden recently spoke to the Georgia Bulldogs and in
• 43:43
  Speaker 5: his speech he said he'd quote died to coach in
• 43:46
  Speaker 5: the SEC. There aren't any openings right now, but could
• 43:49
  Speaker 5: you see Gruden eventually landing somewhere.
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: Well, the SEC is a high turnover conference, and you absolutely,
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: you look at some of these teams that expect to
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: be good that haven't been good enough. You look at
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: to a school like the Florida Gators, for example, hiring
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: John Gruden will be a big get or a bottom
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: feeding team in the SEC like South Carolina or an
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: underachieving team Texas and m Absolutely, he's got a lot
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: of baggage, but they don't care about baggage in Southern
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: Fried football. If you can win next.
• 44:18
  Speaker 5: It's been one preseason game, but already people are saying
• 44:21
  Speaker 5: that Jackson Dart has closed the gap between himself and
• 44:24
  Speaker 5: Russell Wilson. Yeah, close the gap, and that Dart becoming
• 44:26
  Speaker 5: quarterback one could be closer than we think.
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: Ben, when do you think that happens? Listen, unless Russell
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: Wilson gets hurt, He's gonna start the regular season as
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: the QB one for the Giants. But they have a
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: tough schedule. They open up at Washington at Dallas. That
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: should be a winnable game Kansas City and the Chargers.
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: So I say week five, Week five. If Jackson Darts
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: doesn't blow, he could take over. The Giants play the
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: Saints in Week five, so I'm circling that date. Next.
• 44:55
  Speaker 5: Celtics legend Bob Coosey turned ninety seven years old Saturday birthday.
• 44:58
  Speaker 5: Cows Yeah, and he told a reporter that he sees
• 45:01
  Speaker 5: a major rebuilding effort by the Celtics because Jalen Brown
• 45:04
  Speaker 5: isn't the level of superstar that Jason Tatum is hot take,
• 45:07
  Speaker 5: and that he won't bring them to the Promised Land.
• 45:09
  Speaker 5: Kho's ripping him, is he right?
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: Man? Well, the Celtics have trimmed away a lot of
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: their roster. They got rid of Porzingis they got, you know,
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: several of those rotation guys, those secondary guys are gone.
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: So it's not if they have the same team and
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: Jalen Brown they just lost Jason Tatum. You say, okay,
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: there's something they can can work with, but you know
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: it's it's the Jalen Brown's weaknesses. He can only apparently
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: go one way and all that. I don't think Kuzzi's wrong,
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: and let's put it that way. But it's more than
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: just Jalen Brown is not the headline star. There's more
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: to it, are there? It is how did we do heat?
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: The guy I won the game? Hollering James.
