The Rams Leaving St. Louis Killed My Interest in The NFL · Kenny Wallace Media

  What's up everybody, Charlie Marlowe here.
• 0:02
  For all you aspiring Youtubers, you always think of the title
• 0:08
  first. I think the title of this video
• 0:11
  is the Rams killed my passion for the NFL or the Rams leaving
• 0:18
  killed my interest in the NFL, something like that.
• 0:23
  I was thinking about this last night.
• 0:25
  Everybody was excited about the NFL opener, Kansas City Chiefs
• 0:30
  fun team, Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelsey, Taylor Swift and
• 0:36
  all that. Baltimore Ravens Lamar Jackson.
• 0:40
  Does he have to take the next step?
• 0:42
  Does he have to win a Super Bowl?
• 0:44
  Is he elite? Is he super elite?
• 0:47
  All the stupid arguments that all of the first take dumb
• 0:50
  shows, national shows have every single day.
• 0:54
  I was at the gym yesterday before the game starts.
• 0:58
  It was already Does Lamar Jackson have to win this game?
• 1:02
  I get it, Lamar Jackson needs a Super Bowl run.
• 1:05
  I understand it's week one of the season.
• 1:09
  But I bring this up because I did not watch one second of that
• 1:16
  game last night and I blame the Saint Louis, now Los Angeles
• 1:20
  Rams leaving for killing my interest in the NFLI.
• 1:24
  Heard it was an unbelievable game.
• 1:27
  I was going to bet on the game. A lot of times I'll bet on the
• 1:29
  game with my buddies and not even watch.
• 1:32
  So I saw what 2720 Chiefs win apparently went down to the
• 1:36
  wire, some type of call. I don't even know what happened.
• 1:39
  I just heard somebody maybe stepped out of bounds in the
• 1:42
  last play, something like that. I I didn't even care to look.
• 1:45
  I just know something like that happened.
• 1:47
  It was a great game by the way, NFL still amazing.
• 1:50
  I'll watch the Super Bowl. I'll watch some playoff games,
• 1:53
  but the fact that we no longer have a team, even the shitty ass
• 1:57
  Rams, they were shitty the whole time I was here.
• 2:02
  I got here in 2008. I think the best season was
• 2:04
  Fisher's first season, right? Correct me if I'm wrong, right?
• 2:08
  7-8 and one. Here's how bad the NFL has been
• 2:11
  to me in my illustrious broadcasting career.
• 2:16
  I start out Upper Peninsula Michigan and we covered the
• 2:22
  Lions but the Packers were closer so I got to go to a
• 2:25
  Packers game and Packers mini camp back when Aaron Rodgers was
• 2:31
  Aaron Rodgers first year. So I actually got to see the
• 2:33
  first game ever Aaron Rodgers played in regular season.
• 2:38
  Correct me if I'm wrong. Somebody looked this up.
• 2:40
  I believe it was Packers Saints. Probably 2000.
• 2:47
  God Dang what year was it? 2005 I think if that checks out.
• 2:53
  I'm pretty sure the Packers sucked that year.
• 2:56
  They went like 3 and 13. Maybe Mike Sherman's last year
• 3:01
  and then Mike McCarthy gets gets hired the next year.
• 3:05
  Something like that. Anyway, I went to a game where
• 3:08
  the Packers actually smoked the Saints and it was Aaron Rodgers
• 3:13
  first game he ever played in as the backup in a regular season
• 3:16
  game. I bring that up because even the
• 3:18
  Packers, who are usually good, sucked that year.
• 3:21
  Then I moved to Lansing, we cover the Lions.
• 3:24
  I went to a ton of Lions home games to cover them.
• 3:28
  All kinds of practices and mini camps and whatnot at the
• 3:31
  facility. The Lions freaking sucked both
• 3:36
  years. Although one year I think they
• 3:38
  went maybe maybe 7 and 9. I think 7:00 and 9:00.
• 3:43
  It was the John Kitner year where John Kitner was really
• 3:46
  good. Mike Furry, remember, Mike Furry
• 3:49
  had a huge year. Former Ram.
• 3:52
  I'm just trying to I'm trying to basically paint the picture that
• 3:54
  everywhere I go the NFL team suck.
• 3:56
  So then I come. So that was let's just say 2005.
• 4:00
  That was Green Bay Packers were covering O6O7, covering the
• 4:04
  lions. They suck.
• 4:05
  Get to Saint Louis 2008 and the Rams suck. 2008 all the way till
• 4:11
  the last year they were here was at 2015.
• 4:14
  I can't even remember. But whatever year it was that
• 4:16
  they left, and even though the Rams sucked, the NFL is so big.
• 4:21
  It was fun to cover the games. It was fun to cover the drafts.
• 4:24
  It was fun to cover free agency. I mean, the games were fun even
• 4:29
  though the Rams were terrible. You had good opponents coming in
• 4:34
  and then they leave. And I just don't care about the
• 4:37
  NFL anymore. I'm into fantasy football,
• 4:42
  folks, Fantasy football. And then, but all sometimes
• 4:45
  instead of watching the games, I will monitor the NFL Sunday just
• 4:49
  by watching my fantasy app. Anybody else do that?
• 4:53
  I just don't have a ton of interest in watching the games.
• 4:56
  Now. Maybe that's because I'm getting
• 4:57
  older. I have kids always doing stuff
• 5:00
  on Sundays as well. But I also have no rooting
• 5:03
  interest in any NFL team whatsoever.
• 5:06
  I really don't care about any NFL team.
• 5:09
  I have no fan passion whatsoever in the NFL, whereas Ohio State
• 5:14
  football, even though I miss a lot of their games because I'm
• 5:17
  doing stuff on Saturdays, but also Ohio State usually blows
• 5:21
  out a team in about half their games.
• 5:22
  There's only like 4 or 5 interesting games a year.
• 5:25
  Penn State, Michigan, maybe one good non conference game,
• 5:28
  although this year they play nobody.
• 5:30
  Hopefully the Big 10 championship, hopefully a
• 5:32
  College Football Playoff. Add that up.
• 5:34
  Maybe 5 interesting games per year, probably more like 4,
• 5:39
  maybe 5 if they have a good non conference opponent, let's say
• 5:42
  Michigan, let's say Penn State, let's say maybe Wisconsin's good
• 5:46
  in a particular year. Let's say they make the Big 10
• 5:48
  championship. Let's say they actually get to
• 5:49
  the national championship game. OK, that would be 7 interesting
• 5:52
  games out of in that scenario. That would be about 15 games,
• 5:56
  right? Still not a lot of interesting
• 5:59
  games. I know you don't feel sorry for
• 6:01
  me as an Ohio State fan. It's all good.
• 6:03
  By the way, got my starboard shirt.
• 6:07
  Best bar ever. Dewey Beach, DE greatest place
• 6:10
  ever to go. If you're a young person, you
• 6:12
  need to go to Dewey Beach from Memorial Day weekend
• 6:15
  specifically, but also they have they have what, 4th of July,
• 6:20
  Labor Day? And they have this thing called
• 6:22
  the running of the Bulls, which is fantastic.
• 6:24
  You need to check it out. Dewey Beach is awesome.
• 6:26
  Where was I yes, I don't know. I don't really.
• 6:29
  I don't really give a shit about the NFL and it kind of stinks.
• 6:34
  If, if the Rams were still here, I feel like I might even get
• 6:38
  more into it than the Cardinals, just because it's such an easy
• 6:41
  watch. You just watch.
• 6:43
  On Sundays, you go to a bar with your buddies for an hour or two,
• 6:47
  right? Get in there, noon kickoff, get
• 6:51
  out of there. By three, you're kind of drunk,
• 6:54
  but then you kind of let it go throughout the day.
• 6:56
  By the time night comes, maybe you start drinking again.
• 6:59
  Then you got Sunday Night Football.
• 7:01
  Sunday Night Football, though, in the fall when the weather's
• 7:04
  crisp and you got a fire going, maybe you're grilling.
• 7:09
  I'll watch every once in a while if it's intriguing.
• 7:12
  I don't know. Are you guys like me?
• 7:15
  Saint Louis's? Did you find another team?
• 7:18
  Do you like the Chiefs? Do you watch less?
• 7:22
  Are you into it because of gambling?
• 7:24
  Is it more because you think I'm getting older?
• 7:25
  I'm 42, I have two kids that I don't watch as many games.
• 7:28
  Maybe if my kid was into it, my kids were into it, I'd watch
• 7:31
  with them. But I don't know.
• 7:33
  My kids aren't really into watching sports very much.
• 7:36
  My daughter knows I like Ohio State, so she likes Ohio State,
• 7:39
  but she's not really going to sit down and watch the games.
• 7:44
  I don't know. What do you guys think?
• 7:45
  Are you into the NFL as much less the same as before?
• 7:49
  Also, what do you think of these sunglasses?
• 7:52
  These are super cheap. I don't know if I like them.
• 7:54
  First of all, I bought these. They were like $14.00.
• 7:56
  My little sunglasses that are expensive broke.
• 7:59
  I got them at frickin Dierbergs, but then I put them on in the
• 8:02
  car. They barely block the sun at
• 8:06
  all, honestly. Like right now, OK, a little
• 8:09
  bit, but when the sun is really shining in my truck, it's like
• 8:13
  they don't even do anything. And I was going to take them
• 8:16
  back, but I already took the tags off and it's only $15.
• 8:20
  Do they look OK though? I think they're all right for
• 8:23
  $15.00. It is what it is.
• 8:26
  What else? What else we got?
• 8:29
  That's about it. I feel like Cardinals who they
• 8:33
  got the Mariners see what happens.
• 8:36
  They got to go on a ridiculous run, ridiculous run.
• 8:39
  What do you think of our guy Jackson McNeil did a video
• 8:41
  yesterday. We're going to think have him do
• 8:43
  some more. You probably saw I want to get
• 8:45
  some more people contributing on the channel so I can devote more
• 8:49
  of my time to Kenny Wallace YouTube and podcast deal and
• 8:53
  everybody settled down is starting to grow.
• 8:55
  We've got a really good week on everybody settle down.
• 8:57
  So if you like reasonable news and political talk with myself
• 9:00
  and Eric Messersmith, even put some Cam Jansen stuff that we
• 9:03
  talked a little politics, just different clips.
• 9:05
  Try to put something up every day or so.
• 9:06
  Just talking politics, not crazy.
• 9:08
  We're not grifters. We're not accepting money from
• 9:11
  Russia either. Although maybe I should if
• 9:14
  they're giving out a lot of money, I'd probably do that,
• 9:17
  right? No, I shouldn't, but I think I
• 9:19
  would anyway. I probably shouldn't say that
• 9:22
  right before I talk about our sponsors.
• 9:24
  That was a joke, folks. Try it.
• 9:25
  Bank, corner butcher, Saint Louis lawn care, Saint Louis
• 9:29
  equipment, all those places, Corner butcher and chophouse.
• 9:32
  I'm going to go there next week. Check it out.
• 9:35
  The new location together now corner butcher and chophouse
• 9:38
  together, Saint Louis lawn care, lawn care, treatment, mulch,
• 9:41
  aeration, mosquito bug control. They do it all.
• 9:45
  Saint Louis equipment. They got the big time mowers,
• 9:47
  the skags, the right brands, small engines.
• 9:51
  Husqvarna blower I bought it's great.
• 9:54
  Crest battery operated trimmer. That's a powerful bad boy.
• 9:57
  And it's like you think battery. Oh, it's a little guy.
• 10:00
  No, no, no, it's powerful. And then Triad Bank, Triad
• 10:03
  banking.com, best thing I ever did for my rental property
• 10:05
  business, taking all my commercial loans from a big
• 10:08
  National Bank that doesn't care about me at all to a local bank,
• 10:11
  Triad Bank over there in front neck.
• 10:13
  They also have a location in Creve Core Triad banking.com.
• 10:19
  My guy Matthew Tobin over there I work with and they've been a
• 10:21
  sponsor also for a good three, three years or so.
• 10:24
  And I've been going to them for about 5 years.
• 10:27
  So all these places I'm talking about, I actually, I use them
• 10:31
  all. I'm a customer of all these
• 10:32
  places. So you can believe me when I
• 10:34
  tell you how great these places are.
• 10:37
  All right, have a great Friday, have a great weekend.
• 10:40
  Let me know what you think in the comments about the NFL.
• 10:41
  Do you care? Do you care less?
• 10:43
  Do you care the same? Do you care more?
• 10:45
  Are you pissed at Stan Cronkey in the Rams for leaving us?
• 10:48
  Just leaving us? We're like the we're like the
• 10:51
  single mother and then the husband left and married some
• 10:56
  younger woman, some trophy wife bombshell out there in LA and
• 11:02
  we're we're the 40 something single mother with kids now and
• 11:09
  we're just sitting here with no team.
• 11:11
  It's bullshit. See you guys.
• 11:12
  Is that a terrible analogy? I don't know you, you decide.
• 11:15
  See ya.
