  Speaker 1: you know I'll be on the One Voyage Cruise, October

  Speaker 1: use the code JOY. So, referees have been a big
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: topic of conversation across sports, WNBA playoff games, obviously, college football,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: and now the NFL has had some issues of their
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: own between players and referees this week, and they were caught...
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: in 4k so and the giants win over the cardinals
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: a ref was caught on the broadcast cameras telling trey
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: mcbride fu fu the footage is actually wild because after
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: he says mcbride turns around and points at the camera
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: like we got you in 4k caught in 4k um
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: and then judge so judge jeff seaman is the one
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: who has uh who did that he has been suspended
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: for two games And additionally, the head referee in the
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Vikings went over the Dolphins. Adrian Hill was suspended for
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: a game because he was knocked over. And Minnesota linebacker
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Eric Wilson tried to help him up. And he sort
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: of flipped out on him. I really love that the
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: NFL did something about this. And the punishment feels appropriate.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: I know that some people will think that it's kind
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: of an overreaction. But I think it's very important for...
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: this kind of behavior to be regulated. And if it
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: was the other way around, the players would get punished,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: the players would get fined, maybe even suspended. You have
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: to have integrity at the highest level when it comes
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: to referees. And listen, there's a lot of money that
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: goes into gambling now. There's obviously the integrity that the
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: fans want to see from the game. The players want
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: to be able to trust that the referees are doing
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: their job and that there's a mutual respect. So I
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: think this was a great job by the NFL to
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: be quick about it and make sure that this kind
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: of toxicity doesn't continue and isn't rewarded by inaction. So
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: consequences have consequences. Decisions have consequences. And this... Seems fitting.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: After the McBride incident, NFLPA executive director J.C. Tretter posted
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: a statement on X saying this kind of behavior from
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: an official towards a player is unacceptable. Players are consistently
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: held accountable when roles are reversed. We expect the NFL
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: to hold officials to the same standard. Totally agree. It
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: might seem like everyone's being a little whiny, like I said,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: and I think overall people get a little crazy about
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: the referees from time to time. I mean, they have
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: a very hard job. It's very easy for us to
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: sit at home with replay and with slow motion and
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: and say, you know, how could you miss that? This
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: is happening in real time, in a loud stadium, with lights,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: players flying around, different angles, you can't see everything, nor
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: are you going to catch everything. However, in a situation
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: like this, where the referee is clearly out of bounds,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: is clearly doing too much, and is clearly being disrespectful,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: there has to be action taken. So, you know, I
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: think when we're talking about some of the players and
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: what they say to referees, do they get away with it?
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Probably so, and... look, at the end of the day,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: the referees are just there to make sure that the
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: game is played fairly and that there is a tone
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: set for what the competition is going to be. They're
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: not the main characters and they should never be behaving
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: as such. So good job on the NFL on moving
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: on that quickly and not letting that story get out
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: of control or waiting until somebody is really pissed before
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: you react. Sticking with the NFL, two teams that I
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: want to talk about that surprised me in a bad way.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: I'll get to Philly in a second, but I want
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: to start with the Texans who are 0-4 to start
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: the season. So it's not officially a nail in the coffin,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: but it's pretty close. There's only one team ever has
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: come back to make the playoffs with that kind of start.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: I'm kind of perplexed by Houston. They have a ton
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: of talent, defensive-minded, good head coach, good quarterback. But through
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: four games, they have not been able to put it together.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Last season, they got off to a slow start as well.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: They lost their first three games and then turned around
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: to win their last nine regular season games, go win
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: a wildcard game. They lost in the divisional round as
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: they have for the three previous seasons with CJ Stroud
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: and D'Amico Ryans as the head coach. He said, we
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: have to be able to get ourselves out of this hole.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: We're the only ones that can do it. This is
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: CJ Stroud. We're all we got. Nobody's going to come
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: save us. We have to make sure we're looking ourselves
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: in the eye, being accountable and honest and going to work.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: I still want to believe that there's some version of
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: the Texans that can dig themselves out of this hole,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: that AFC South isn't looking as weak as I thought.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: The Jags are sitting at the top and the Colts
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: are coming up with their second straight win. So they're
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: going to have a little bit of work to do.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: The Titans are not doing anything. And CJ Stroud, from
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: a sort of selfish perspective from him, really needs to
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: turn it up. Now, he's putting up numbers. He's fifth
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: in the NFL with 1,141 passing yards this season. He
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: threw for 347 yards and two touchdowns and a 126.7
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: passer rating. So it's not like he's not putting up numbers,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: but they are not materializing into wins. And he is
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: in the final year of his rookie deal. And the
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Texans have the fifth year option exercise. So he's, you know,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: he's really betting on himself and playing defensively. through to
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: get a deal so they have dealt with some injuries
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: tankdale's practice window has opened up but he's still not
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: ready and they need to get these next three games
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: before their week eight by gives them a chance to
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: reset now they do have at tennessee which hasn't won
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: a game yet they have jacksonville in london that'll be
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: huge and then they have the giants now even though
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: the giants have jamis winston and they've gone through a
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: lot of their own issues this year They're three and
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: one at the top of their division. So Houston has
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: won three straight and six of the past seven over Tennessee.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: So I do believe they will get their next win
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: at Tennessee. Jacksonville and London and the New York Giants
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: are not necessarily easy games, but they're not world beaters either.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: They also need really need to clean up the penalties,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: 13 penalties for 90 yards against Dallas. That is way
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: too many. And it is the second consecutive game where
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: the Texans defense has given up go-ahead points with less
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: than 45 seconds remaining. So the defensive struggles have been inexcusable.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: They were missing Aziz Alshair, and that's something, but they
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: should be deep enough to not be blowing games in
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: the last minute of the game. It's really confusing to me.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: It's really frustrating, I'm sure, for the Texans, Tameka Ryans
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: and CJ Stroud, but they've got to clean it up
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: and really go on a run if they have any
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: expectation to make the playoffs. And as far as CJ
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Stroud goes, you know, I think he's, I thought he
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: did enough before this season to have warranted a long-term deal.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: This isn't going to help if this continues in this direction. Now, again,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: if you want to risk not having a franchise quarterback
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: and moving on from CJ Stroud, someone will take CJ
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: Stroud off your hands happily. and pay a high price
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: for him. So we will see, but I think next
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: week has officially, officially, officially become an absolute must-win for
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: the Houston Texans because only the 92 Chargers have ever
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: rebounded from an 0-4 start to make the playoffs. And
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: so when you get into that territory, it is absolutely
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: a must-win game in Week 5 for the Texans. Now, Philadelphia,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: losing to the Rams 24-20, Jalen Hurts and the offense
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: were not able to reach 200 yards. They also shockingly
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: failed to convert a single third down 0-12. That is crazy.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Tank Bigsby was placed on IR, so hopefully he'll be
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: back in six weeks or so. Bigsby's workload increased Sunday
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: when Saquon Barkley left the game with a hamstring injury
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: in the first quarter. Nick Sirianni would not say whether
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: he will be available for Sunday's game against Jacksonville in London.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: The injuries are becoming a huge problem for Philadelphia. They
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: have a ton of injuries, and that is obviously playing
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: a role in their ability to be consistent. But, you know,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: you're missing Lane Johnson. You've got Devontae Smith. Saquon Barkley
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: is questionable. Tank Bigsby is out. there's a really long
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: list of injuries that they're dealing with. And they also
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: obviously have just this looming question about if Jalen Hurts
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: is good enough, which I think is obviously ridiculous. The
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: man is a Super Bowl MVP and a Super Bowl champion.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: But they have these issues with the A.J. Brown. There's
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: always these questions about, you know, does everyone on the
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: offense get along? And Philly is just not a patient
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: place when it comes to the Eagles struggling. They're vicious. And...
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: Before Sunday's game against the Eagles, McVay was 1-6 against
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: them and 1-4 at Lincoln Financial and 0-4 against the
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Eagles with Sirianni. So actually kind of a big win
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: for the Rams against Philly. The sequence at the end
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: when they had the opportunity to put it away, the
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: communication issue. it's just it's just always like this with
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: philadelphia now i'm not gonna throw them out throw them
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: to the wayside just yet dallas just got a big
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: win over houston um kind of you know due to
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: houston's ineptitude but a win is a win i'm not
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: going to take that away from the cowboys The Giants
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: are at the top of the division. I don't really
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: trust that. But again, if you keep letting these moments
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: slip from you, that's how the season gets away from
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: you in the NFL very quickly. Each game really matters.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: You can't look at any of them as a toss
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: away because even teams with backup quarterbacks and other injury issues,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: they find ways to put things together as the Giants have.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: So a lot of questions about what's going on in
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Philadelphia offensively. if they're going to be able to put
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: things together, if they're going to be able to hold
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: on with all of these injuries that they have, they
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: have Jacksonville next in London. Then they have Carolina and
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: Dallas on Monday night football. Not the easiest stretch. Carolina
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: has been playing decent and obviously Dallas is two and
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: two as well. And it's a divisional game on Monday
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: night football. So could get scary quickly for the Eagles.
• 11:08
