Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Oh, what is going on? Welcome in happy early Wednesday
- 0:05Speaker 1: morning to you fired up about game five Wednesday night,
- 0:12Speaker 1: Calves going to the Pistons on the road in Detroit.
- 0:16Speaker 1: We'll have a little bit on that, but ball is
- 0:19Speaker 1: on the brain. We are bala holocks over here, love football.
- 0:23Speaker 1: And the NFL continues. It's little strip teas over here,
- 0:26Speaker 1: a little bit by bit, piece by piece, like Denzel
- 0:31Speaker 1: said in Man on Fire. Huh, great line from that movie,
- 0:35Speaker 1: Peace by piece. That's what the NFL is doing with
- 0:39Speaker 1: its schedule reveal right here. As the strip teas continues.
- 0:42Speaker 1: We got a little bit more of the strip teas
- 0:44Speaker 1: on Tuesday here. Yeah. I woke up to some Schefter
- 0:51Speaker 1: tweets and the first tweet said, this season's first Monday
- 0:55Speaker 1: night football game, September fourteenth, will be the Broncos versus
- 0:59Speaker 1: the Chiefs. I love this part. This game site still
- 1:04Speaker 1: has not been determined, as the NFL still is finalizing
- 1:07Speaker 1: its schedule for Thursday's release. It's like, we don't know
- 1:12Speaker 1: where it's gonna be. We just know it's Broncos and Chiefs. Huh.
- 1:15Speaker 1: And then there was a site update. This is what
- 1:18Speaker 1: Schefter tweeted a little bit later site update. The opening
- 1:22Speaker 1: Week one Monday Night football game between the Broncos and
- 1:25Speaker 1: Chiefs will be played in Kansas City. The NFL had
- 1:29Speaker 1: not finalized the game site until today. That's what he
- 1:33Speaker 1: tweeted on Tuesday after noonish, somewhere around there. It's like, okay, alright,
- 1:40Speaker 1: so it's gonna be in Casey. So there are a
- 1:42Speaker 1: couple of things here. I would read into this a
- 1:46Speaker 1: certain way. Now, not everybody will look at this the
- 1:49Speaker 1: same way. Some might disagree, some might push back. That's fine,
- 1:52Speaker 1: reasonable minds can disagree. But the way I look at
- 1:55Speaker 1: this game being in Week one is this bet by
- 2:00Speaker 1: the NFL. When the NFL makes big bets, the NFL
- 2:04Speaker 1: normally wins big bets. Okay, So by having the Chiefs
- 2:08Speaker 1: play in Week one Monday night football prime time, they're
- 2:13Speaker 1: hosting the Broncos, who won the division last year were
- 2:17Speaker 1: a bon Nicks injury away from probably going to the
- 2:22Speaker 1: Super Bowl. So for the Chiefs to be hosting the Broncos,
- 2:29Speaker 1: it's a pretty good clue that all Mahomes probably gonna
- 2:32Speaker 1: be upright and ready to go in Week one, coming
- 2:34Speaker 1: off the torn ACL It's just another clue. Now, well,
- 2:39Speaker 1: before this was announced, I've thought all along that Mahomes
- 2:43Speaker 1: will be there. He will be playing in Week one.
- 2:47Speaker 1: I hear a lot of talk, a lot of conversations,
- 2:49Speaker 1: a lot of questions. Is he gonna be ready? Do
- 2:51Speaker 1: we know if he's gonna Yeah, he's gonna be ready.
- 2:54Speaker 1: And the NFL scheduling this game in week one is
- 2:58Speaker 1: an indication of that. It's a clue that Mahomes will
- 3:01Speaker 1: be out there. Who is quick, off the top of
- 3:04Speaker 1: your head, who's the Chief's backup quarterback? I don't know either,
- 3:08Speaker 1: Have the look it up real bad. Who is the
- 3:10Speaker 1: Chiefs backup quarterback? That would be one Justin Fields. Okay,
- 3:15Speaker 1: so just picture this week one Monday night football. We
- 3:20Speaker 1: got Troy Aikman, we got Joe Buck. They're ready. Let's
- 3:24Speaker 1: go first Monday night game of this of the season.
- 3:27Speaker 1: We're fired up over here, all right. We got bone
- 3:30Speaker 1: Knicks and the Broncos bon Nicks healthy back from injury.
- 3:33Speaker 1: Taking on Justin Fields and the Kansas City Chiefs. Like,
- 3:38Speaker 1: what the hell was the old uh Vincelbarty? What the
- 3:41Speaker 1: hell's going on out here? Right? That's what we'd be saying.
- 3:44Speaker 1: If that's the case, that's not gonna be the case.
- 3:47Speaker 1: All Right, Mahome's gonna be out there. Man, You're gonna
- 3:49Speaker 1: rehab like a crazy person. He'll be ready to go.
- 3:53Speaker 1: I'd be shocked if he's not stunned. I am ninety
- 3:57Speaker 1: five to five that Mahomes will be there. And I
- 4:01Speaker 1: think that the NFL is probably close to the same thing.
- 4:05Speaker 1: Otherwise they scheduled some other game in Week one, so uh,
- 4:09Speaker 1: Broncos Chiefs in Week one. And I think the other
- 4:15Speaker 1: thing is this. Now you might not agree with this,
- 4:19Speaker 1: but I think it's a It's an indication if the
- 4:23Speaker 1: if it were up to the NFL, Okay, they could
- 4:27Speaker 1: have they could They could write the storyline, right. They
- 4:29Speaker 1: always say the script, the NFL script. The NFL was
- 4:33Speaker 1: actually writing the script if they could have it their
- 4:37Speaker 1: way and they had a choice between which team has
- 4:42Speaker 1: a great season. Do you think they'd sign up for
- 4:45Speaker 1: the Broncos to have a great season or for the
- 4:48Speaker 1: Chiefs to have a great season. It's the Chiefs all day, Okay,
- 4:53Speaker 1: all day. And it's a small indication because this game
- 4:56Speaker 1: is in Kansas City. Are they're not starting in Denver?
- 4:59Speaker 1: This is a Week one at Denver. This is Week
- 5:02Speaker 1: one at Kansas City. So and just do the math
- 5:06Speaker 1: on this. If you look at the Chiefs, they're a
- 5:08Speaker 1: more compelling storyline. We've got history with the Chiefs. They're
- 5:12Speaker 1: three time Super Bowl winners with Mahomes, they've been to
- 5:15Speaker 1: a couple other Super Bowls. They fell flat on their
- 5:18Speaker 1: face last year. Mahomes didn't have a great individual season.
- 5:22Speaker 1: He got hurt at the end of a disastrous season.
- 5:26Speaker 1: If the Chiefs get back to prominence, that's pretty interesting.
- 5:32Speaker 1: If the Broncos just continue building on the season that
- 5:36Speaker 1: they had, I mean, it's not like a dud story,
- 5:39Speaker 1: but it doesn't have the same pizazz as like the
- 5:44Speaker 1: riches to rags back to riches story that the Chiefs
- 5:48Speaker 1: could have. I think that's a more compelling storyline. And
- 5:52Speaker 1: so I think and some might disagree with this. They
- 5:54Speaker 1: might be like, Brian, you're reading way too far into this.
- 5:57Speaker 1: I don't think the NFL is in the business of
- 5:59Speaker 1: just Oh, I hadn't thought of that. Yeah, that's just
- 6:01Speaker 1: a random coincidence, you know, Like the NFL isn't down
- 6:04Speaker 1: like that. Okay, everything is thought about. There's a purpose
- 6:09Speaker 1: for these things. When these when these games are being released,
- 6:13Speaker 1: they didn't have to release this one. They purposefully released
- 6:17Speaker 1: this one. Why right, There are reasons why they released it,
- 6:21Speaker 1: and there are reasons why the game is in Kansas City.
- 6:25Speaker 1: I think if they were up to the NFL, they'd
- 6:28Speaker 1: be elated if Kansas City had a resurgence and all
- 6:32Speaker 1: of a sudden, there's this team that was on top
- 6:36Speaker 1: and then they're having this disastrous season. What were they
- 6:39Speaker 1: last year? Six and eleven? That's insane, man. I still
- 6:42Speaker 1: can't believe they had that bad of a season with
- 6:44Speaker 1: Mahomes on the field for most of the year, like
- 6:48Speaker 1: you would think the Chiefs six and eleven. He got
- 6:50Speaker 1: hurt on the first play in the first week. Not
- 6:52Speaker 1: the case. So I think that I think it's a
- 6:55Speaker 1: compelling storyline and for all the people that were just
- 6:58Speaker 1: worn out by the Chiefs, and I get that they
- 7:01Speaker 1: had such sustained success winning super Bowls, getting to Super
- 7:06Speaker 1: Bowls that if people are just tired of them getting calls.
- 7:11Speaker 1: That's the other thing. A lot of people hate the
- 7:13Speaker 1: Chiefs were getting favorable calls. I don't think that there's
- 7:17Speaker 1: any conspiracy theory. I think sometimes there's way too much
- 7:20Speaker 1: made of that. But I'm just telling you. There are
- 7:22Speaker 1: a lot of people that dislike the Chiefs because they
- 7:24Speaker 1: think they get the calls. I think a lot of
- 7:27Speaker 1: that went away last year. Now it can be rekindled
- 7:29Speaker 1: really fast. The Chiefs start off the season five to
- 7:33Speaker 1: zero and get a super favorable call in Week six,
- 7:37Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, the world hates their guts again.
- 7:39Speaker 1: It can happen like that very quickly. But listen, hate
- 7:43Speaker 1: it's good for business. If you're looking at this from
- 7:45Speaker 1: the NFL's perspective, you would want fans that are engaged.
- 7:51Speaker 1: What's the deal with the Cowboys? You either love them
- 7:54Speaker 1: or you hate them, but you're gonna watch. It's very
- 7:57Speaker 1: similar with the Chiefs of what they're doing. You love
- 8:01Speaker 1: their success or yet hate it and you're annoyed by
- 8:04Speaker 1: it and you want to see him lose. That's all
- 8:07Speaker 1: good for business for the NFL because you're paying attention.
- 8:11Speaker 1: So if the Chiefs are relevant again, I think the
- 8:13Speaker 1: NFL wins big time as far as that goes. Once
- 8:16Speaker 1: that connected to this first Week one matchup, first Monday
- 8:20Speaker 1: night football game, I can't believe this is even true.
- 8:24Speaker 1: So the running backs last year for the Chiefs, Isaiah
- 8:27Speaker 1: Pachecko and Kareem Hunt, they're two main guys. They combined
- 8:31Speaker 1: for only one rushing attempt that went farther than twenty yards.
- 8:37Speaker 1: That is unbelievable to me, man, Like that blows my mind.
- 8:42Speaker 1: Isaiah Pacheco was a really good running back. He just
- 8:46Speaker 1: ran so angry, right is the old Kyle Brant angry runs.
- 8:51Speaker 1: Pacheco was on it all the time. He's like he
- 8:54Speaker 1: was mad at the ground. He ran with such force
- 8:58Speaker 1: and then he got hurt and then he's he's never
- 9:00Speaker 1: regained his form. He's just not the same guy. And
- 9:04Speaker 1: for a Pacheco and Hunt to only have one combined
- 9:08Speaker 1: rush for more than twenty yards is astounding to me. Man.
- 9:14Speaker 1: But they picked up Kenneth Walker from the Seahawks to
- 9:18Speaker 1: be their main running back and he had a ton
- 9:21Speaker 1: of at least ten yard rushes last season. So hey,
- 9:25Speaker 1: maybe brighter days for the Chiefs. I just think that
- 9:28Speaker 1: it was a calamity last season. I think that they'll
- 9:32Speaker 1: be much better this season, and I wouldn't be surprised
- 9:36Speaker 1: if they're, you know, making a deep run in the
- 9:38Speaker 1: playoffs again. Wouldn't be surprised whatsoever. The other game that
- 9:40Speaker 1: was announced on Tuesday, was an international game, so be
- 9:44Speaker 1: Week nine. We're looking at November eighth, will be a
- 9:48Speaker 1: Sunday Bengals and Falcons in Madrid, Spain. And listen, a
- 9:58Speaker 1: couple of things come to mind with this game. The Bengals,
- 10:02Speaker 1: I just what a disappointment. It's funny when I talk
- 10:07Speaker 1: about the Bengals and I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah, pass
- 10:11Speaker 1: eight on the Bengals. I will get some pushback. There'll
- 10:15Speaker 1: be some random hoode fan that's like, oh, why do
- 10:18Speaker 1: you say that, Brian, Why do you think they don't
- 10:20Speaker 1: have a chances year? It's like, well, I don't know.
- 10:21Speaker 1: Their defense sucks. They always disappoint. You have Joe Burrow,
- 10:26Speaker 1: you have a franchise quarterback who gets banged up quite
- 10:29Speaker 1: a bit, and yet somehow the last three seasons they
- 10:33Speaker 1: were six and eleven. Last season they were nine and
- 10:36Speaker 1: eight in each of the previous two seasons. You know
- 10:39Speaker 1: what the Bengals are. The Bengals are a poor man's
- 10:44Speaker 1: version of the Steelers. That's what they are. That's exactly
- 10:48Speaker 1: what the Bengals are. We always talk about the Steelers like, ah,
- 10:51Speaker 1: they're gonna be ten and seven, They're gonna be nine
- 10:53Speaker 1: and eight. They'll sneak into the playoffs and then they'll
- 10:56Speaker 1: fizzle out right away. The Bengals are a lesser version
- 11:00Speaker 1: of that. Okay, the last three years, that's exactly what
- 11:03Speaker 1: they've been. Their record has been worse. They haven't even
- 11:06Speaker 1: gotten to the playoffs. So they're a lesser version of
- 11:09Speaker 1: the Steelers. And we don't speak about the Steelers in
- 11:12Speaker 1: glowing terms the last three years, do we? No, we don't.
- 11:16Speaker 1: The Bengals are a lesser version of Pittsburgh. That's what
- 11:18Speaker 1: they are. They actually have a franchise quarterback. The Steelers
- 11:22Speaker 1: have a band aid in Aaron Rodgers that's playing out
- 11:26Speaker 1: the rest of his NFL career. And yet the Bengals
- 11:29Speaker 1: are still a lesser version of the Steelers. That's crazy,
- 11:33Speaker 1: but that's exactly what they are. But rest assured I'll
- 11:36Speaker 1: get someone, well, Brian, not this year, man, I watch out.
- 11:39Speaker 2: Man.
- 11:40Speaker 1: Don't sleep on the Bengals. Okay, I'm fast asleep, all right,
- 11:43Speaker 1: fastest sleep. You gotta play this thing called defense in
- 11:48Speaker 1: the NFL these days. Got to be able to play
- 11:50Speaker 1: some defense, and I'm not convinced they're going to be
- 11:53Speaker 1: able to do that at a legitimate rate. They did
- 11:56Speaker 1: make some they made some pickups. They made that crazy
- 11:59Speaker 1: trade for Deck Lawrence. It got sexy dexy over there.
- 12:02Speaker 1: Try to stabilize the defensive line. But you lost Trey Hendrickson.
- 12:07Speaker 1: Did you gain in the office. I don't know that
- 12:09Speaker 1: you gained. You replaced Trey Hendrickson with Boye Mafe. I
- 12:14Speaker 1: don't think that's a gain. So I don't expect the
- 12:18Speaker 1: defense to be all world and the silly Bengals where
- 12:22Speaker 1: it's like, hey, we've got Jamar Chase, let's pay te
- 12:25Speaker 1: Higgins huge money. Also, let's do that. You know who
- 12:29Speaker 1: else is doing that pretty much? No one like to
- 12:32Speaker 1: give a long term extension to two top receivers, but
- 12:35Speaker 1: the Bengals are doing that, and shockingly, their defense is
- 12:38Speaker 1: a hot mess. Crazy how that works out. The other
- 12:41Speaker 1: question with the Falcons would be when Week nine rolls around,
- 12:46Speaker 1: who's playing quarterback for them? That's a crazy question to
- 12:50Speaker 1: wonder about right now, Like not barring injury, okay, because
- 12:55Speaker 1: you could go around the league and say injury is
- 12:58Speaker 1: not a factor. Hey, who's playing quarterback for the Bears
- 13:01Speaker 1: in Week nine? Well, if injury is not a factor,
- 13:04Speaker 1: it's going to be Caleb Williams. You know, you just
- 13:07Speaker 1: go around the league like, Hey, who's going to be
- 13:09Speaker 1: playing quarterback for the Rams in Week nine? Well, if
- 13:13Speaker 1: Stafford isn't injured, it's gonna be Stafford, right Like you
- 13:17Speaker 1: could play that game with a lot of teams in
- 13:19Speaker 1: the NFL. With the Falcons no injury issues, who's their
- 13:25Speaker 1: quarterback in Week nine? I don't know, it's either going
- 13:29Speaker 1: to be Michael Pennox Junior or to a tongue of
- 13:31Speaker 1: I looa. But your guess is as good as mine.
- 13:35Speaker 1: Who's behind center come week nine? I have no idea.
- 13:39Speaker 1: I just know that a lot of people believe that
- 13:42Speaker 1: they didn't bring into a tongue of Iloa to be
- 13:45Speaker 1: a backup to Pennix Junior. So I'm very curious to
- 13:48Speaker 1: see how that whole thing sorts itself out. The one
- 13:50Speaker 1: answer that we haven't gotten yet, and I thought of
- 13:55Speaker 1: the phone call that we had last night we had
- 13:58Speaker 1: was it Kevin in Phoenix. I think Kevin gave us
- 14:00Speaker 1: a call and we're looking for the week one opponent
- 14:03Speaker 1: for the Seahawks, and so we got a couple other teams.
- 14:07Speaker 1: They're off the list now, So no Rams, no Niners,
- 14:11Speaker 1: those teams are playing each other in Australia the next night,
- 14:15Speaker 1: so the first game of the season Seahawks hosting a
- 14:18Speaker 1: mystery opponent on Wednesday. Then Thursday we'll see the Rams
- 14:24Speaker 1: and the Niners, so that's not on the list right.
- 14:27Speaker 1: We also know that the Cowboys are facing the Giants
- 14:31Speaker 1: in week one, so those teams the Seahawks can't host.
- 14:35Speaker 1: We also learned that the Chiefs they're gonna be playing
- 14:39Speaker 1: on Monday night, so they're not a possible home game
- 14:42Speaker 1: for the Seahawks either. So it's down to four teams
- 14:44Speaker 1: and I think three. Real answer it was Mike in Phoenix,
- 14:48Speaker 1: My bad Mike, not Kevin. Mike hit us up and
- 14:51Speaker 1: he was like, it's gonna be the Arizona Cardinals taking
- 14:54Speaker 1: on the Seahawks. And I'm like, no, it's not. But
- 14:58Speaker 1: he was cool. We had some fun, but he gave
- 15:00Speaker 1: us a couple of reasons. He's like, you got Notre
- 15:02Speaker 1: Dame running backs. Jeremiah loved Jadarian Price on opposite teams
- 15:06Speaker 1: going up against each other, kind of a fun angle.
- 15:08Speaker 1: You know, it's not a national it's not a national game,
- 15:11Speaker 1: it's not a national matchup. That's not going to be it,
- 15:14Speaker 1: So it's really down to three teams. It's either the Chargers,
- 15:17Speaker 1: the Bears, or the Patriots for that Week one season opener.
- 15:23Speaker 1: It's the Banner Day, you know, the whole thing with
- 15:26Speaker 1: the Seahawks. Who are they hosting? I kind of hope
- 15:28Speaker 1: it's the Bears. I do hope it's the Bears. I
- 15:30Speaker 1: think that's the most intriguing matchup. I don't know that
- 15:34Speaker 1: they would run it back with the Patriots. You really
- 15:37Speaker 1: want to go through all that. Can you imagine if
- 15:38Speaker 1: that's the Week one matchup, first game of the year,
- 15:41Speaker 1: Wednesday night, Wednesday Night football, the Patriots come to town
- 15:46Speaker 1: to take on the Seahawks. And maybe you heard about
- 15:49Speaker 1: this whole Mike Vrabel thing all off season long. Do
- 15:53Speaker 1: you think the NFL wants to go into that Week
- 15:56Speaker 1: one for your premiere event season? Is back? Ball's back? Baby? Hey,
- 16:01Speaker 1: let's talk more Mike Vrabel in the love boat with
- 16:03Speaker 1: Diana Rassinia. Probably not, Probably not so, And really just
- 16:09Speaker 1: put that to the side the matchup itself, just football wise.
- 16:15Speaker 1: As a football fan, I'm not that intrigued with that matchup.
- 16:18Speaker 1: If that's what it is, I'd watch it beginning to
- 16:20Speaker 1: end don't get me wrong, but Patriots Seahawks. I just
- 16:23Speaker 1: watched the Seahawks smack around the Patriots on a neutral field.
- 16:29Speaker 1: You think it's gonna be completely different with the Patriots
- 16:32Speaker 1: on the road. I don't, So I'm not huge on
- 16:37Speaker 1: that matchup. So I hope it's the Bears. I'd be
- 16:41Speaker 1: okay with the Chargers. I wouldn't hate that, but i'd
- 16:44Speaker 1: go Bear Seahawks. I think those two teams, they're gonna
- 16:48Speaker 1: be in the mix throughout the season, should be in
- 16:51Speaker 1: the playoffs. I'm guessing they will be there. You know
- 16:54Speaker 1: what's crazy is both the Patriots and the Seahawks, the
- 16:58Speaker 1: teams that were in last year's Super Bowl, right last
- 17:01Speaker 1: season super Bowl, they were not playoff teams the season prior.
- 17:06Speaker 1: That's pretty crazy, right, So you think about the Seahawks
- 17:10Speaker 1: not only won the Super Bowl, they were the one seed.
- 17:13Speaker 1: They went from non playoff team to number one seed
- 17:17Speaker 1: and super Bowl champs. The Patriots went from four and
- 17:21Speaker 1: thirteen to a two seed and a Super Bowl appearance.
- 17:27Speaker 1: So it just shows you how much parody there is
- 17:30Speaker 1: in the NFL. Where really, give me your best guess.
- 17:34Speaker 1: The two non playoff teams from last season, that will
- 17:39Speaker 1: be a one seed and a two seed and meet
- 17:42Speaker 1: in the super Bowl this season. But good luck, good
- 17:45Speaker 1: luck figuring that one out. It's not easy to do
- 17:48Speaker 1: at all, as far as the team's pulling it out
- 17:51Speaker 1: and as far as guessing who would be a great
- 17:55Speaker 1: candidate to do that. So pretty crazy that the planets
- 17:59Speaker 1: aligned and that the super Bowl matchup after a lack
- 18:01Speaker 1: of success the season prior. But I love all this stuff.
- 18:05Speaker 1: I do love the strip tease of the NFL and
- 18:07Speaker 1: the schedule just slowly being unveiled. I'm totally fine with
- 18:10Speaker 1: all of that. You like that you're a fan of
- 18:14Speaker 1: the strip teas, schedule reveal there, Lorreno slow. Yeah, it's
- 18:20Speaker 1: just like you know, we're not just gonna just rush
- 18:22Speaker 1: into things. Yeah right, let's build up to this a
- 18:27Speaker 1: little NFL for play if you will. I'm totally fine
- 18:30Speaker 1: with it. I like it gives me something to talk about.
- 18:33Speaker 1: They also have points spreads on these games. The game
- 18:37Speaker 1: gets released, it's like boom, They're favored by two and
- 18:39Speaker 1: a half totals forty six and a half. It's crazy,
- 18:43Speaker 1: man's wild man. We can't get enough of the NFL.
- 18:47Speaker 1: One other thing that I would throw out there and
- 18:50Speaker 1: I would give I would give this website a shout
- 18:55Speaker 1: out if I remembered where I read it. But this
- 18:58Speaker 1: didn't come from my head. It came from some I read.
- 19:00Speaker 1: I don't know where I read it, but it might
- 19:03Speaker 1: have been Pro Football Talk. I actually think that's where
- 19:05Speaker 1: it was. But they wrote something about, hey, when you
- 19:10Speaker 1: know how the NFL teams they do these viral videos
- 19:14Speaker 1: for their schedule to be revealed, Like the Chargers will
- 19:18Speaker 1: put together this whole graphics animation thing of their schedule,
- 19:24Speaker 1: and some teams do. It's really creative stuff. It's really
- 19:27Speaker 1: funny sometimes. I know the Titans a few years ago,
- 19:30Speaker 1: they sort of did the man on the street thing
- 19:33Speaker 1: and they just put the logo of say the Titans
- 19:36Speaker 1: face I don't know the Falcons in Week one, just
- 19:39Speaker 1: just say for the sake of argument, that's the case,
- 19:42Speaker 1: and they put a Falcon's logo in front of a
- 19:44Speaker 1: person on the street. And the answers that they came
- 19:48Speaker 1: up with were just hysterical, where they they clearly don't
- 19:51Speaker 1: say the Falcons, they say something completely off the wall,
- 19:54Speaker 1: and so that's how they unveil the schedule. It's really
- 19:57Speaker 1: funny so the schedule reveal is a big deal and
- 20:01Speaker 1: Pro Football Talk they threw it up there where they
- 20:04Speaker 1: must have had a segment on the show and they
- 20:06Speaker 1: talked about this. I didn't watch the video. I just
- 20:08Speaker 1: saw the headline and it was will teams address Mike
- 20:14Speaker 1: Vrabel in their schedule videos? Right? Are they gonna clown Vrabel?
- 20:18Speaker 1: Left and right? Whoever's on the whoever's facing the Patriots
- 20:22Speaker 1: this year? On their viral you know, schedule reveal video
- 20:27Speaker 1: that they put together that's become this big thing. I'm like,
- 20:31Speaker 1: it's whatever. It's a shoulder shrug to me. Some of
- 20:33Speaker 1: it's creative, some of it's funny. But of their schedule,
- 20:37Speaker 1: like who talks trash the most? They do have the
- 20:39Speaker 1: Chargers on their schedule. The Chargers are well known for
- 20:43Speaker 1: their schedule reveals. So did the Chargers put some sort
- 20:47Speaker 1: of you know, tie in with Vrabel and there's like
- 20:51Speaker 1: a love boat that just kind of like goes by
- 20:55Speaker 1: the screen or I don't know. I don't know, but
- 20:58Speaker 1: be kind of interesting to see if that's what happens.
- 21:01Speaker 1: Don't I don't know what the NFL. If the NFL
- 21:04Speaker 1: is like, you know, hey have at it, have some fun.
- 21:07Speaker 1: Cut it loose. So there's like, yo, let's downplay this
- 21:11Speaker 1: whole thing. Let's not get too crazy with Mike vrabel
- 21:14Speaker 1: off off season story, and they kind of put the
- 21:18Speaker 1: kebash on that. I don't know. I would imagine we're
- 21:21Speaker 1: going to see a couple We're going to see a
- 21:22Speaker 1: couple of videos that you know, they give a little,
- 21:26Speaker 1: you know, a little nod, a little nod to old
- 21:29Speaker 1: Vrabel over there. You know, we'll see, we'll see if
- 21:32Speaker 1: that happens or not. Something to keep in mind though.
- 21:34Speaker 1: All Right, eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox is
- 21:38Speaker 1: the phone number make Coop work for his money tonight. Huh,
- 21:41Speaker 1: get on in here. Love talking to you, militia, love
- 21:44Speaker 1: being interactive, And if you're on hold, I'll get right
- 21:49Speaker 1: to you. You know, Mike, Mike the Leprechaun. I might
- 21:52Speaker 1: make him wait a little while. He had an unnecessary
- 21:55Speaker 1: cheap shot at me the other day, so I do
- 21:58Speaker 1: like trolling him back a little bit. But everybody else,
- 22:00Speaker 1: if you get on on the line, I'll get right
- 22:02Speaker 1: to you immediately. Coop tells me who's on the hold,
- 22:05Speaker 1: and I'm like, all right, we're talking to John and
- 22:09Speaker 1: Puerto Rico over here or whatever. Not a great example,
- 22:13Speaker 1: but you know you can tell it's off the top
- 22:14Speaker 1: of my head, so we get to the phones right
- 22:17Speaker 1: around the corner. Also, interesting injury update for a certain athlete,
- 22:24Speaker 1: and some people think like this could bother him. Some
- 22:28Speaker 1: people think that has no big deal whatsoever. But I'll
- 22:30Speaker 1: throw it your way coming up. I'm probably though in

- 23:51Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, some people could find it not the
- 23:58Speaker 5: best advice, but others could be like, you know what,
- 24:02Speaker 5: you're brilliant.
- 24:04Speaker 1: So it all depends. Hey, listen, unconventional can sometimes work
- 24:08Speaker 1: every now and then unconventional could be awful.
- 24:11Speaker 6: Yeah, Like, date both the sisters, see which one you
- 24:13Speaker 6: like best?
- 24:14Speaker 1: There you go right, Yeah, give it a whirl.
- 24:17Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, date both friends, see which one you go
- 24:20Speaker 6: better with.
- 24:21Speaker 1: Hey, maybe go to the same restaurant together.
- 24:24Speaker 6: That's a good idea, see which one orders better food.
- 24:29Speaker 1: What's the honest question, though, what's the dumbest reason you've
- 24:33Speaker 1: lost interest in someone? There's gotta be some reason, Like,
- 24:38Speaker 1: I don't know, man.
- 24:39Speaker 6: Oh, I got one, I got one easy easy, it's easy.
- 24:43Speaker 6: He was a He was a really it was one
- 24:45Speaker 6: of my first boyfriends, maybe number five. Anyways, his name
- 24:51Speaker 6: was Michael, and he was tall and nice, blonde hair,
- 24:55Speaker 6: really really cute, good looking guy. And we're at fair
- 24:58Speaker 6: and we're in a group with all of our friends,
- 25:01Speaker 6: and we're not from the same like friend group. We
- 25:03Speaker 6: go to different at schools, so you know, we're kind
- 25:04Speaker 6: of like joining together. Anyways, so he said something and
- 25:08Speaker 6: he patted me on the head like a dog, like
- 25:10Speaker 6: on the top of my head. He's so much taller
- 25:13Speaker 6: than me, and it turned me off so much.
- 25:16Speaker 1: That was it. That was it. That's what did it.
- 25:18Speaker 1: That was it. You got anything on your list, Coop.
- 25:20Speaker 1: You ever lose interest in a girl for some stupid reason? No, yeah,
- 25:31Speaker 1: I don't know. There could be something about you, Brian,
- 25:33Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, I don't know. Off the top
- 25:36Speaker 1: of my head, I don't I don't know. I'm sure
- 25:39Speaker 1: there's something on my resume that I'm forgetting. But it
- 25:43Speaker 1: makes me think of you guys. Know, you'll say my
- 25:45Speaker 1: last girlfriend, she was the queen of you know, Like, no,
- 25:50Speaker 1: I didn't have interest in this guy because his ears.
- 25:53Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, my gosh, are you serious right now?
- 25:56Speaker 6: She's like, yeah, when he smiled, his nose flared a
- 25:59Speaker 6: little too much. It was right, yeah, too much for me.
- 26:01Speaker 1: It's like she would say the littlest things of like,
- 26:05Speaker 1: it's amazing you ended up with anybody. It's crazy. But yeah,
- 26:08Speaker 1: she was very picky. She was particular, but nothing about
- 26:12Speaker 1: you bugged her. I'm sure there are many things, but
- 26:15Speaker 1: not enough to not date me, right, Like, you know,
- 26:18Speaker 1: she was around for a while, so yeah, nothing like
- 26:22Speaker 1: she's like, all right, your ears they kind of check out.
- 26:25Speaker 1: You know, your nostrils seem all right, Okay, I can
- 26:29Speaker 1: I can live with them.

- 27:04Speaker 1: I'll get right to you. But to h to pay
- 27:06Speaker 1: it off. There's a there's a an injury here. How
- 27:11Speaker 1: about Rory McElroy. We don't talk a whole lot of
- 27:13Speaker 1: golf here, but I thought this the story was interesting.
- 27:16Speaker 1: Rory McElroy, he left practice on Tuesday a little early.
- 27:21Speaker 1: He has a blister under the nail on his right
- 27:26Speaker 1: pinky toe. That's what he's dealing with, a little blister
- 27:30Speaker 1: under the right pinky toe nail, which sounds horrible. It
- 27:35Speaker 1: sounds annoying, it doesn't sound sounds fun. Yeah, but some
- 27:40Speaker 1: golfers are just like Andy North. He does his coverage
- 27:43Speaker 1: for ESPN and he's like, yeah, not a big deal.
- 27:47Speaker 1: Tape it up. It's fine. Kind of comes with the territory.
- 27:50Speaker 1: He might have a little discomfort, but shouldn't be a
- 27:52Speaker 1: big deal at at least that's what he said. He
- 27:54Speaker 1: didn't think it was a big deal whatsoever. But yeah,
- 27:58Speaker 1: the other thing is Rory mckelroy. He mentioned that he
- 28:01Speaker 1: was happy that he was dead wrong because he was
- 28:04Speaker 1: pushing for a merger. This was a little while ago,
- 28:08Speaker 1: between the PGA Tour and Live Golf. He was pushing
- 28:11Speaker 1: for the two to unite, you know, and he admitted
- 28:15Speaker 1: on Tuesday, he was like, I'm glad I was wrong.
- 28:17Speaker 1: I can admit when I'm wrong, and that was one
- 28:20Speaker 1: that I did get wrong. Because live golf is on
- 28:24Speaker 1: life support right now, man, because the Public Investment Fund,
- 28:28Speaker 1: the old Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund, they have said, yeah,
- 28:32Speaker 1: not sponsoring live golf anymore. So they've sponsored it since
- 28:37Speaker 1: its inception in June of twenty twenty two. Now, if
- 28:41Speaker 1: you were to guess how much money the PIF, the
- 28:46Speaker 1: Public Investment Fund has poured into live golf, We're talking
- 28:52Speaker 1: huge contracts, huge paydays. Twenty twenty two is not that
- 28:56Speaker 1: long ago. June of twenty twenty two, so we're not
- 28:59Speaker 1: even four years into this right twenty three, we're not
- 29:03Speaker 1: even four years yet. How much money do you think
- 29:06Speaker 1: the PIF poured into live golf. We'll do a little
- 29:10Speaker 1: guessing game. Loraina, you're up first. How much money do
- 29:13Speaker 1: you think the Public Investment Fund poured into live golf
- 29:17Speaker 1: in just under four years? What would be your guest?
- 29:19Speaker 6: I'm gonna go with two million dollars.
- 29:22Speaker 1: Okay, all right, Coop, you're up. We're talking big purses,
- 29:26Speaker 1: big contracts. What do you think?
- 29:29Speaker 7: I think that Loraina just gave the worst guests of
- 29:32Speaker 7: all time.
- 29:33Speaker 1: You know, I almost just cost. I almost just cost
- 29:36Speaker 1: on the radio. You almost said F you, Coop, F
- 29:40Speaker 1: you and the horse you rode in. Almost I almost
- 29:43Speaker 1: did it.
- 29:44Speaker 5: Instead, I'm just gonna slam my stuff down. I'm leaving
- 29:47Speaker 5: and I'm.
- 29:47Speaker 1: Taking the M and m's with me in Jerseys. Let's
- 29:52Speaker 1: go five billion? Oh my gosh, you're right on the money.
- 29:58Speaker 1: You must have read this story, am I really?
- 30:01Speaker 3: Yes?
- 30:02Speaker 1: So it literally says the PIF has purportedly now you
- 30:07Speaker 1: know it's serious, right, they have purportedly spent more than
- 30:11Speaker 1: five billion dollars funding the breakaway circuit since its inception
- 30:17Speaker 1: in June twenty twenty two. Coop, like right on the
- 30:22Speaker 1: muddy bullseye. Five billion dollars. That's that's an impressive, guess, Coop,
- 30:29Speaker 1: that's sus, thank you, thank you. That's that's pretty good.
- 30:33Speaker 1: I had a dump, did you? Were you? Uh? Yeah?
- 30:39Speaker 1: All the ring Now, I.
- 30:40Speaker 6: Actually threw an eminem at Coop when I when I
- 30:43Speaker 6: left the room, I threw an M and M and
- 30:45Speaker 6: M and then I was looking for it and I
- 30:47Speaker 6: left my mic on.
- 30:48Speaker 1: But the eminem is a very oddly shaped eminem. Did
- 30:51Speaker 1: you already eat it? Yeah? I thought, you know what's
- 30:55Speaker 1: funny is and I yelled over by him. I was like,
- 30:58Speaker 1: what the I die? I heard something. I was sure
- 31:01Speaker 1: I heard something because I listened to metal and every
- 31:04Speaker 1: now and then it's just like, you know, I'm like,
- 31:07Speaker 1: I think I just heard an F bomb. I think
- 31:09Speaker 1: that's what I heard, just myself. Yeah, just to be sure. Yeah, well,
- 31:14Speaker 1: if you missed it, Coop was on the money. He
- 31:16Speaker 1: guessed it just over five billion dollars key if is
- 31:22Speaker 1: poured in to live golf. Nope, not No, you need
- 31:26Speaker 1: a lot of two millions to get to five billion,
- 31:30Speaker 1: like a whole lot of them. But you know whatever,
- 31:32Speaker 1: you know you'll get them next time. Loraine, It's all right,
- 31:35Speaker 1: no problem, all right, eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. Okay,
- 31:39Speaker 1: let's see we might have a surly Bengals fan. We're
- 31:43Speaker 1: talking about the Bengals. There was one of the games
- 31:46Speaker 1: was released on Tuesday. It's gonna be the Bengals and
- 31:48Speaker 1: the Falcons Week nine in Madrid, Spain, And I just
- 31:53Speaker 1: had a little Bengal spiel where they are the poor
- 31:56Speaker 1: man's version of the Steelers, lesser record, not even getting
- 31:59Speaker 1: to the playoffs. They're a lesser version of the Steelers.
- 32:04Speaker 1: That's a cold dose of reality for who Day right there.
- 32:07Speaker 1: That's exactly what they've been in the last three years.
- 32:09Speaker 1: I don't know that things are going to be dramatically
- 32:11Speaker 1: better this year either, but we've got cardiac Stanley wants
- 32:15Speaker 1: to talk to some Bengals. What's going on? Stanley? How
- 32:17Speaker 1: are thanks? Man? Welcome to Fox Sports Radio.
- 32:21Speaker 2: Thank you, Brian, Hey, I think you've been working too
- 32:23Speaker 2: many late nights over there with your assessment of the Bengals. Okay,
- 32:28Speaker 2: this year they picked up two defensive free agents from Seattle. Okay,
- 32:37Speaker 2: m hm. Anyway, Brian, thes are, what's you over and
- 32:42Speaker 2: under on the Bengals this year?
- 32:44Speaker 1: That's a good question me look it up. It'd probably
- 32:46Speaker 1: be about I'd say eight and a half or nine
- 32:49Speaker 1: and a half would be my rough cast. What do
- 32:51Speaker 1: you want you want? Bet MGM DraftKings? What do you
- 32:53Speaker 1: want you want? Bet MGM. Let's do that. Let's go
- 32:55Speaker 1: bet MGM over here. I'll look it up. Profest ten
- 33:00Speaker 1: and a half, nine and a half, nine and a half,
- 33:02Speaker 1: all right there, you go. Sounds about right.
- 33:05Speaker 2: How are you going on that one? Brian?
- 33:09Speaker 1: I would take the under, but I wouldn't take it
- 33:12Speaker 1: for a ton. Yeah, they've been under nine and a
- 33:14Speaker 1: half the last three years. Do you think Sexy DEXI
- 33:17Speaker 1: is the missing piece? Their defense isn't good?
- 33:22Speaker 2: I think, well, we'll just have to wait and see.
- 33:24Speaker 2: You know, yeah, I don't want to sell. I don't
- 33:26Speaker 2: want the summon go by too quick to where we're
- 33:29Speaker 2: watching and all that can wait. But if Joe Burrow
- 33:34Speaker 2: says sol did they got? You know what they got?
- 33:37Speaker 2: They got two of the best receivers, a pretty good
- 33:39Speaker 2: O line, a good running back or two. The defense
- 33:43Speaker 2: would be well improved. Will you'd be surprised if they
- 33:47Speaker 2: go thirteen and four?
- 33:48Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I would. I would. I wouldn't know
- 33:52Speaker 1: what to do with my life from that point forward.
- 33:54Speaker 1: You know, it's not gonna happen. They're gonna win thirteen games, man, Like,
- 33:59Speaker 1: I think, just shut it down at that point, I'd
- 34:01Speaker 1: have I'd be cardiac, Brian at that point, Stanley, that's
- 34:04Speaker 1: what would happen.
- 34:07Speaker 2: Okay, you know I listen to the seven hundred w
- 34:11Speaker 2: W I'm shot of them, uh huh. And the Cincinnati
- 34:16Speaker 2: Bengals fans are all excited about the upcoming year.
- 34:21Speaker 1: I'm sure they are. They are about most seasons, and
- 34:23Speaker 1: then they fall flat on their face and the excitement
- 34:26Speaker 1: just goes away, you know.
- 34:27Speaker 2: But well, that's that's when Joe Burrow goes down.
- 34:32Speaker 1: Well, but he goes down often. That's the problem. I
- 34:35Speaker 1: love Joe cool, but he gets injured way too much, man,
- 34:38Speaker 1: way too much. Now we'll see.
- 34:41Speaker 2: Well now, hey, Brian, Yeah, thanks a lot for you.
- 34:46Speaker 1: Got it, man, Yeah, you got it. Thanks for checking in.
- 34:49Speaker 2: You do a real nice job filling in through the
- 34:53Speaker 2: big bloviator.
- 34:54Speaker 3: You really do well.
- 34:55Speaker 1: Thank you. I appreciate that, Cardiac Stanley, very nice, very good.
- 34:58Speaker 1: Appreciate the call. Nice. Look at that a Bengals fan
- 35:03Speaker 1: making nice with me. That's beautiful. It can be done normally.
- 35:06Speaker 1: You just yell at me, Brian, you're wrong, you're wrong.
- 35:11Speaker 1: Why would you say that. It's like cause they find
- 35:14Speaker 1: a way to lose games often. I don't know this. Yeah,
- 35:18Speaker 1: but anyway, that was good. I like that, very good
- 35:20Speaker 1: phone call. All right, I'll get back to the militia
- 35:22Speaker 1: here right around the corner. Also, a couple of tweets
- 35:25Speaker 1: here one he was listening and he gave me some advice,
- 35:30Speaker 1: so I want to share that. And also, ooh ray
- 35:33Speaker 1: checked in with some betting odds. You know me. I'm
- 35:35Speaker 1: a sucker for some betting odds. I'll share them with you.

- 37:18Speaker 1: that must have been awesome. It was the first real
- 37:21Speaker 1: concert I went to Coop and it was like Corn,
- 37:24Speaker 1: what a stupid name. And these guys got on stage
- 37:28Speaker 1: and are like, what the hell? Who is this band?
- 37:31Speaker 1: You know? And they blew up. They've had a great run,
- 37:34Speaker 1: an awesome run, but we had no idea. It was
- 37:37Speaker 1: just one of the lesser bands of that show. Kind
- 37:40Speaker 1: of crazy, but I'll never forget. It was fear Factor.
- 37:43Speaker 1: It was Corn, it was Flotsam and Jetsam. It was
- 37:47Speaker 1: like the old Jason Newstead band. He was the Bassis
- 37:49Speaker 1: of Metallica for a little while. That was his old band.
- 37:53Speaker 1: And there was Megadeth.
- 37:54Speaker 7: I remember seeing Corn in the you know, in the
- 37:57Speaker 7: early to mid nineties, like seeing their stickers and then
- 38:01Speaker 7: they're like their videos and things like who is this
- 38:03Speaker 7: scary goth band? And then later on I was like, yeah, Corn, Yeah.
- 38:10Speaker 1: It's funny man that They've got a lot of songs

- 38:48Speaker 1: They're playing this concert. These guys were jamming. They're pretty heavy,
- 38:51Speaker 1: and it was funny because they would just pause and
- 38:54Speaker 1: he would talk to the crowd, and he was just
- 38:57Speaker 1: saying all this religious stuff, you know. It like the
- 39:00Speaker 1: song ends like da dudad it ends, and he's like, look, man,
- 39:06Speaker 1: I just gotta say, just gotta say I was saved.

- 39:12Speaker 1: those like whole like two minute thing and they play
- 39:15Speaker 1: another heavy song and you do the same thing throughout
- 39:17Speaker 1: the whole concert. Was it was wild Man. But uh yeah,
