  Speaker 1: raq dot com the way tire buying should be. So normally,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: we start with the Sunday Nike. It was such a dud.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, my god, you all told me JJ McCarthy, all,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy, he's gonna be better because he didn't play
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: as a rookie. He got hurt, and he went to
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: all the meetings and he learned everything, and oh man,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: he's so good. The guy blows Okay, two games in
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: McCarthy sucks and it's bad television. How did that game
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: end up in Sunday night football? How does Minnesota and Atlanta?
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: What a clunker that was? In my opinion, that sucked.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: So in an active protest against this malfeasans by the
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: NFL that's supposed to put the top teams in the
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Sunday night window, we're gonna skip over that game till
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: later we've got four hours and instead a rematch the
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: game of the weekend, which also wasn't all that great,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: but it was at Arrowhead Stadium in Cannes City, and
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: so that is where we will start and That is
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: our lead here. As the Chiefs, who have been consistently
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: dominant even when they're bad, they get to the AFC
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Championship game. They're at the point now where mathematically it's
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: not looking very good. Two weeks into the NFL season,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: it's not looking very good. Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: are zero and two. They are all and two, which
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: I'm told is not good. I didn't play in the NFL.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: I know Ryan Clark probably doesn't want me to give
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: a take on this, but I don't think that's that good.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's not good. So oh and two
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: after losing the much anticipated rematch there on America's Game
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: of the Week, and if you saw this game or not,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: we're watching it was everywhere. Not a lot going on
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: in the late television window. And if you didn't see it,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: well listen. We know the better stories in the losing
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: locker room. So that is where we're going to focus here.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: While it's not the the outcome that is shocking. I
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: picked on Benny versus the pay. We had to be
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: the Eagles on that. If you watch the YouTube show,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: we had the Eagles in that game. On a few
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: things we got right this weekend, So it's not shocking
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: the Chiefs loss. This is only a second time Mahomes
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: has been an underdog at home, and there's a reason
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: he was an underdog because the Chief's an't very good.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Right now, they're oh and two. Mahomes was asked about this.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: He said, well, it's not the start we wanted. Mahomes said,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: he believes Kansas City is quote close he said, to
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: figuring things out. Quote. I know it sucks to hear
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: it for the fans, Mahomes said, but you know what
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: butt means. He said, I feel like we're close. He said,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: we're We've got to keep working and get ready for
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: the Giants next week, all right, close quote on that.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: So let us discuss the question. Can you please decode
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: the message within the message from Patrick Mahomes as the
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Chiefs are as he says, close, they're close to figuring
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: things out, all right. So my thoughts on this, I've
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: got Tutoring, Lightning and Marvel Comics, and we will combine
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: all of these things together and we are going to
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: make some delicious, crunchy taketos is what we're going to make.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: We're going to make those so ah, there's not too
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: deep to dig in this particular commentary from Patrick Mahomes.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: He here's what Mahomes is really saying. Keep it simple, stell,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: but is what he's saying. He's saying that, hey, we've
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: got he said it. We got the Giants on NBC
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: coming up on Sunday night. That is the NFL's version
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: of a layup line. That is a pitch and putt
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: is what that is. That is homecoming opponent time when
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: you play well. The Giants scored a lot of points
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: against the Cowboys. How'd that turn out? Yeah, they scored
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: their quota of points, which means the Giants are likely
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: they're going to go back to scoring I don't seventeen
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: points or something like that next week. That is a
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: pinata game. You want that game. That is a well
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: scheduled game. It's show up, collect a win. And Moms
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: is essentially admitting here that, hey, the Chiefs are not
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: right all right. The schedule maker, though, handed us a
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: gift and that's a nice soft serve cone. That's a
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: delicious soft serve cone. And so don't worry about it.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: We're gonna be back on track here and we'll be Okay,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: we'll win the game. It's not gonna be pretty, but
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: we're gonna win the game. That's it. The Giants are
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: exactly exactly what the Kansas City Chiefs need right now.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: And let's not kid ourselves here. This Chiefs offense is lacking.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: They're lacking a lot. I mean they are. It's a
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: hot mess. It's a stew, and not a good kind
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: of stew. That's simmlary there there there's not a lot
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: of meat on the ball. Where's the razzle dazzle. There's
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: not a lot of razzle dazzle. Where's the circus sole,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: the circus act that used to terrify defenses and all
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: that stuff. Where's that? It's gone? I doubt say it.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Do you see it? I don't see it. Maybe my
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: eyesight's going back. I do not see it when I
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: watch the Chiefs play, I don't see that in the
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: first two games. And this is a plodding team. It
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: is a paint drying type team. Offensively, when you watch
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: this team go about their business, there is just not
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: Eliza Well, they're good. Injuries. Okay, As far as Mahomes saying,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: we're close to figuring it out, isn't the whole job
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: to figure it out when the when the games begin,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: and not a couple of weeks into the season. That
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: isn't the whole thing to come out here. You've been around,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: You've got the championship pedigree and all that stuff, and
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: you just come out of the gates and and get
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: it going. Well. Andy Reid chimed in on this big riot,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Andy Reid, and do you think Andy Reid is blaming Mahomes?
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Do you think he's blaming Travis Kelcey, or do you
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: think he's doing what every else coach, every other coach
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: in the world does, say, I'm the guy, blame me,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: I'm the guy. Let's take it this.
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: I'll take four responsibilities for the game.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: I probably said too aggressive on that, and that's my responsibility.
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: But my guys played their tail off and played hard
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: and aggressive football, and and they stuck together throughout the game,
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: and and they'll pay for us down the road when
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: as we continue to grow.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: So you're never ever there's a couple of cardinal rules
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: in sports. One of them is you can never ever
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: say your team is lazy and they don't play hard.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: That is a capital offense. Right, That gets you fired.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: So even when your team is terrible, you have to
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: say they're playing hard. You have to say that. But
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: you look at the offense. I keep going back to this.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: It's a paint drying type situation here. But there's a
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: lot of playmakers that are more like traffic cones when
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: you watch them go about their business. There, there's nobody
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: that really scares you. Nobody that scares you you. Kelsey
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: has continued to get he's old, he's an old player,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: and he's more worried about podcast and is a little
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: lady friend that he's gonna marry. And that's fine, that's
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: his life, but doesn't help the Chiefs out right now.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: You talk about what he was, not what he is
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: anymore because he's a shell of what he used to be,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: and that's normally how that works. But he's still out
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: there that can't can't get rid of him because he's
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey. You gotta keep throwing his rotting carcass out
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: on the field in every game. But you look around.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: The defense is legit in Kansas City, so you figure
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: they just got to get a little bit more, just
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: a little slightly more on offense and they can be
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: okay at the moment, and we do the show today
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: and at the moment that is a yawn fest. That
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: is an absolute yawn fest. And let's not gloss over
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: this that Patrick Mahomes himself has not been good enough
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: so well, he doesn't know the playmakers, all right. Wasn't
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: it the quarterback that makes the players around him better?
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Isn't that always the argument that we make that the
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: elevate the quarterback elevates the people around him, and the
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: early placement exam a couple weeks into the regular season,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: and Kansas City needs some tutoring, is what they need?
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: They do. The Eagles are a measuring stick game. Every man,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: woman and child knows that. And Kansas City they got
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: measured and they got weighed and they were found wanting
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: is the way it was? Right? The game was again,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: it was not They had a chance. They did have
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: a chance to win the game. And you know, mathematically
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter and you can do the math
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: on that, but both offenses looked like they were slogging
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: through the mud. And I didn't see any mud. Did
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: you see mud? I didn't see mud. Did you see
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: I didn't see any mud? Some of homes saying we're close,
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: and using that line is really like, hey, please, you
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: loyal minions, you loyal minions, do not freak out. No, no,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: nothing to see here. We've got the Giants, and that's
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: a feel good opponent. That is a feel good opponent
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: when you play the Giants, feel good. But the week
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: after that, the Ravens they come a call in at Arrowhead.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: So you gotta beat the Giants. You don't beat the
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: Giants the way the unless the Chiefs get a bunch
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: of guys back that all of a sudden can run
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: and catch passes and run through the defense, then you're looking.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: If they don't beat the Giants and you're going to
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: zero four, then's doomsday prophecies. So you gotta beat the
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: You've got to beat the Giants, and then maybe are
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: pulling upset against Baltimore you are at home, But that's
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: a wood chipper game after that. So yeah, close in
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: Chiefs verbiage saying you're close. You know, we're close to
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: getting a get well game, get well game. You're close
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: to that there, and then we get slapped back in
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: the face right after that. Now, meanwhile, the story within
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: the story here, the subplot from this particular game. I
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: think you know where I'm going with this. It involves
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: one of my favorite things to talk about, the tush push.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: That's right, the touchboard. So instead of everyone focused in
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: on Mahomes, I started with Ohlmes. But instead of most
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: people focusing in on Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid and
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: even Nick Sirianni, it's all the conversation, all the rage,
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: all the rage. It's all about Jalen Hurts and the
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: caboose being pushed. Push the caboose, push the caboose, push
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: the caboose. Just like that, you're being shoved across the
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: line to gain the line of scrimmage here. So there
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: was a famous play, I say famous relatively speaking, in
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: the fourth quarter of this game. Tom Brady was on
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: the call on Fox and he still stinks as a broadcaster.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: But Tom Brady was crying a foul, crying a foul
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: about the Eagles offensive line moving early, which is they
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: obviously did. You don't have to have seen the play,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: even are blind listeners know they moved early. So the
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: question on this one, it's not just that particular play
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: that was the ignition point, if you will. So it's
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: not just that play that was the ignition point, but
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: the question, give me your reaction, give me your reaction
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: to the latest kurffluffel over the Eagles, Jalen hurts, tush
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: push as this is now like the swallows returning to Capistrano,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: and it's it's a nons It's a story that every year,
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: every single year, becomes a talking point here and a
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: couple times a year. And so anyway, here's Andy Reid again.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: Here's Andy Reid his take on what appeared to be
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: a clear violation that was not called by the referees.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Eagles jumped off side stinke is.
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: You know, you try to get penetration as what you
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: try to do and be able to stop it. That's
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: a pretty rough one, you know. I might have a
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: couple of them that they got off a little early on.
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: But we'll look at that.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what is there to look at. We all saw it.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: You don't look at it. You know it's gonna change anything,
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: all right. So the NFL spends all this money on
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: replay and they spend all you all this, Yeah, and
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: we got to every call right, every call right, of course,
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: not the human elements part of it. Was obvious thing.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: It's like three guys jumped off sides, at least two,
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: probably three, and they didn't call it. So on the
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: play in question, the obvious off sides. The officials, it
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: was like Ray Charles and his friends were all there
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: as we had Stevie Meatball's blind Emmett. We had that
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: guy used to call a show that quits like a
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: lunatic every other week, Blind Scott. They all, they all
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: did it. They were all the referees there. Clearly we
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: we had terror. He was the lead official in this.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: So the Zebras they need to go out to lens
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: crafters is what they do here. And a multiple bird
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: brain linemen who were doing the cha cha cha before
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: they were supposed to be doing the cha cha cha
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: before the snap. Of course, people lose their minds, Oh
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: my god, lose their minds because this was supposed to
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: be America's Game of the Week, right, get the calls right,
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: all that stuff. Mahomes versus Hurts a super Bowl rematch
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: for the ages two time super Bowl rematch. Instead, it's
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: another mcmillion scandal, is what it is. For the Philadelphia
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: football team, some shady business instead of stealing the McDonald's
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: monopoly piece, one of the great documentaries of all time,
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: that mcmillion documentary from a few years ago. But Nick Sirianni,
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: Nick Sirianni, the very pompous, arrogant, a hole coach of
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles. They're stealing firsts by shoving Jalen Hurts,
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: shoving his Badonka Donk over the line to gain. And
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: so it's infuriating the many. That's the whole point of this.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: People are very upset by this. And here's why. Because nobody,
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: nobody does it like Philadelphia. We've had these conversations the
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: last couple of years. This thing's been around for several years,
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: and it's for the Eagles. It's going to Disneyland. It's
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: the lightning it's the Lightning Lane. You gotta pay a
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: little extra for it. But you go to Pirates of
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: the Caribbean, it's lined up around the block. It doesn't matter.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: Straight to the front of the line, right, go right
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: to the front of the line. There works every single time.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: And the Eagles, they are the unstoppable locomotive, the unstoppable
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: locomotive Philadelphia Eagles. When they run that play, it's a freebie.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: For Jalen Hurts, and it's shocking how often they have
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: a third and one or a fourth and one right,
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: And it's wild. It's like trying to win the electoral college.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: They can't get enough votes. Roger Goodell in terms of
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: they tried to get rid of it the last couple
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: of years. They came a few votes short. But the
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: electoral college, too many teams are like, ah, we don't care,
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: we don't want to get rid of it. And it's
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: the same old argument. The argument against the torch pushes.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: It's clear, it's it's unsafe, it's unfair, it's ruining the
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: purity of the game. It's the same argument back in
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: the day. I've read about in college basketball when for
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: a few years in the nineteen sixties they got rid
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: of the slam dunk because a guy named Luel Sinder
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: who would change his name to Kareem Aldul Jabbar was
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: a dunking and they had to get rid of it
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: and all that stuff. But the same exact argument, the
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: same exact argument. It's a different decade years later, and
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: the whining is extreme. So here's my take. My take is,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: don't ban it. Do I like the bottle love to play.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: But I wouldn't ban the play just like I would.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: That's the cowardly thing to do. That's what baseball does.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: That's what you don't want to be like baseball. Right,
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: the shift, we got to ban the shift. No, you
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: don't need to ban the shit, but they did because
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: they're dumb. They're weak. Don't be dumb. Don't be weak.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: Don't be dumb. Don't be weak. That's what baseball is.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: Don't be that, don't be that, don't do that. Don't
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: do that. NFL. So I wouldn't ban it, right, I'd
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: copy it. And that's the thing. These teams are so
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: stupid in the NFL. The Eagles have spelled out an
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: unstoppable play, and you're so you're so worried about your
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: high your dava quarterback, you can't run the play. Seriously,
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: like you look at the Andy Reid GT. Do the
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: Chiefs ever run the toush push? I don't see it.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan and San Francisco, Sean McVay with the Rams,
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: Dan Campbell, run it yourself. You know, no one can
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: stop it, right if everyone's doing it, if every team's
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: doing a version of the Toush push. Then it will
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: not be an advantage anymore. It's not gonna be I
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: until then, Jalen hurts, tush push is the most uns
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: stoppable thing around and people know they can run it,
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: and they have chosen not to run it. All right now,
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: last word to New Jersey. We go quick right where
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: Josh Allen and here we go. Buffalo had a dominant
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: victory over Gang Green blow out City at the Meadowlands.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: There as the Jets head coach Aaron Glenn stealing the
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: headlines here, Aaron Glenn said, much like Andy Reid said,
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: blame me, It's my fault. I'm the guy. Well, Jets
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: coach Aaron Glenn said that his preparation was lacking in
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: the days leading up to the game with Buffalo. Buffalo
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: wins this game by twenty points. It was not even
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: that close, he said. Quote apparently Aaron Glenn said, apparently,
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: I didn't have the guys ready to play. He said,
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: it's not okay to lose like that close. Quote. Glenn
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: answered several other questions from the assembled media about individual
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: performances that were lacking by saying he has to watch
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: the tape, which is of course the default position. So
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: question is, how do you react to Aaron Glenn taking
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: the blame for not having the Jets prepared to play
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: a divisional opponent at home in week two of his
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: first year on the job as a head coach in
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: the NFL. So, Aaron Glenn is, he's got his shoes on,
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: he's dancing, he's singing. It's the old standard head coach
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: song and dance routine. That's what you're doing here. I
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: didn't have the guys ready. You gotta go watch the tape.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: Gotta watch the tape. That's it. Gotta go watch the tape. Yeah,
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: buy the book. As in the comic book, this is
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: Marvel Comics, the Iron Man Act. Absorb the grenades and
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: deflect with cliches. That's how you do it. There, you
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: just knock yourself out. And why not. That's the oldest
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: trick in the coaching playbook. There. You take the bullet,
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: you deflect the heat, and you hope, you hope people
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: don't notice that your team just got absolutely steamrolled. They
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: just look like the same old Jets, right, the same
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: old pathetic Jets. There was just pathetic, absolutely pathetic anyway
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: you slice it and listen, get what's really going on here.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: It's a cover job. We know it's a cover job.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: A bunch of players who didn't show up. That's on them,
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: you know, that's on them. And Aaron Glenn knows it.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: He knows who wasn't prepared to play, who was prepared
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: to play, and deep down the people within the Jets
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: know who was ready to perform. One guy in particular
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: who was horrific, Justin Fields. Holy crap, man, that guy,
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: we know he sucks. He looked good last week. He
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: actually looked like he knew what he was doing. Against
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers. The defense was not very good, but
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: the Justin Fields experience in particular, my god, and the
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: Jets defense made James Cook look like vintage Thurman Thomas
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: or Marshawn Lynch or someone like that. They're a true
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: Gang Green performance. We know with Gang Green there you
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: just chop it off before it infects the entire body.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: Of course, you'd have to chop off multiple limbs of
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: this Jets team.

• 23:15
  Speaker 1: I leave this hour from Cincinnati where they had an
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: extra item on the menu there. At the Bengals game,
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: it was snap Crackle pop. As we follow the drama
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: of the day. There was some drama on the field.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: The Bengals able to come back with their backup quarterback
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: and beat the Jacksonville football team. The story here, though,
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: is why they needed to put their backup quarterback in
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: as Joe Burrow popular pick by popular people, including yours truly,
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: to win the Most Valuable Player of the Year award.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: You can tear that ticket up. If you've spent some
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: money on Joe Burrow winning the MVP. You can take
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: that and cut it up. You can burn it, you
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: can wipe your ass with it and flush it down
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: the toilet, do whatever you want. It ain't happy. Joe
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: Burrow has suffered what we are told is a grade
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: three Go to web MD, go to the introweb a
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: grade three turf toe injury. Oh my aching toe. Yeah,
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: So turf toe injury for Joe Burrow, which will require
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: surgery and we'll sideline him. Various reports of the overnight
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: say he'll be out for three months, at least three months,
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: the very minimum three months. So take the over on that. Wow.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: All right, So let us discuss if you're unfamiliar with this,
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: the story here. The left toe of Joe Burrow mangled
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: during a sack by the Jacksonville football team. Happened in
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: the second quarter. Bengals did win the game thirty one
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: twenty seven, killing one of my bets by coming back
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: getting a late touchdown. Not that I'm bitter about that.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: They were three and a half point favorites. They won
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: by four. Not that that stings, but that's aside the
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: point we're talking about here. So the story is Joe
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: Burrow is injured and say he's gonna be out three
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: months if surgery is deemed necessary. Again, there are difference
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: of reporting overnight. Some say it's gonna happen, others say
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: not so much, but he is the franchise player. But
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: if it's deemed necessary, he's expected to be out again
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: upprossimately three months, which is mid December, mid December, and
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: that's it. Burrow was seen in a walking boot and
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: he was on crutches after the game, so generally not
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: a good sign. Again, I didn't play in the NFL,
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: so I know Ryan Clark probably don't want to comment
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: on that, but generally he's not a good sign. When
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: you're starting quarterback is leaving on crutches in a booty.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: That's not good. So does not look particularly the good
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: and that means that back up Jake Browning. Yep, that
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: guy will get the keys to the Bengals kingdom for
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: the time being.
• 25:52
  Speaker 5: Here.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: Everyone writing them off at this point, even though they
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: came back to beat Jacksonville, say well that's Browning's not
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: that good. So let us discuss question. Assuming worst case
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: scenario that Joe Burrow is dun Skis for the Bengals,
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: that he has dined on snap crackle pop thumbs up
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: or thumbs down, thumbs up, thumbs down. Can the Bengals
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: survive let's say, three months without Joe Burrow? All right?
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: So I've got ups, Skittles, bag and meatball Hero and
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: we'll combine all of these things together and we are
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: gonna put the biscuit in the basket, is what we're
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: going to do. So my first thought on this is
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: when you say survive, they're not gonna die. But in
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: terms of actually being competitive and in a position to
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: get in the playoffs, I'm gonna go no, capital N no,
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: and no they will not. Joe Burrow, for better or worse,
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: is the he is the franchise. He got paid like
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: the franchise, and they just lost the steering wheel. So
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: if you're driving along and you lose your steering wheel,
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: it's a problem. If you're in the demolition derby and
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: you lose your steering wheel, it's a bigger problem. So
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: you're telling me that Jake Browning, who actually liked when
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: he played a few years ago, that Jake Browning is
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: going to keep this GILOPI on the road in Cincinnati
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: because you know, at some point the defense is going
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: to completely unravel, like it's gonna just be tattered in Cincinnati.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: So you're gonna have to score more points and you're
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: gonna have to throw the ball more and browning. The
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: more you throw, the more interceptions, et cetera, et cetera,
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: et cetera. And it's a self fulfilling prophecy. So this
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: is a UPS special in honor of our friend Tree
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: in Chicago. So UPS special. What can browning do for you? Now?
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: What brown can do for you? What can browning do
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: for you? Well, you can deliver interceptions. He'll throw some
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: touchdowns and that's it. Now you can sugarcoat this if
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: you want. I choose not to, But if you want
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: to sugarcoat it, you can. You can do that all
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: you want. It is man up, suck it up. All
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: that stuff the Shaw musco on blah blah blah blah
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: blah blah blah. We've all heard the cliches. We've all
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: heard the cliches, But on this one, I just can't.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: I can't go there, cannot do it, cannot do it. Uh?
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: And Burrow, is it the receiver that makes the court.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: The quarterback of a quarterback that makes the receiver? Said, Well,
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: the Bengals have two absolute studs in Jamar Chase and
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: t Higgins as playmakers on offense, and that is true.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: And Browning is he gonna gonna use them to the
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: same degree that Burrow Diediver Burrows hadn't played great to
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: start the year here in the first couple of games
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: or so. It was terrible against Cleveland last week. So
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: what can Browning do for you? Well, what can he
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: do for you? Let's see, Well, he can put the
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: ball in the other team's hands, check that box. That's
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: what he can do. A lot, a lot of turnovers here,
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: hero ball one minute, he didn't win the game on
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: Sunday with a couple of plays late disaster the next though.
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: You know, he reminds me of the coup on Browning,
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: the backup for the bank. The comp is like Ryan Fitzpatrick.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick the Amish rifle without the beard and lacking charisma.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: Like if you had Ryan Fitzpatrick, you had him shave
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: and he had no charisma. There you go. So you're
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: telling me that in the AFC, a conference that has
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson in Baltimore, who's a great regular season player,
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: fraud in the playoffs, but great regular season player. Kansas
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: City was now zero and two. So you figure they
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: most likely if he continued down this path, there'ud be
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: a wild card team that's gonna be their path. Although
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: the AFC West will see what the Chargers do against
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: the Raiders tonight, and then you've got the Josh Allen
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: scenario in Buffalos. There's a couple of heavyweights in the AFC,
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: and Jake Browning is gonna keep you right in the
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: middle of that. Now, every time a quarterback gets hurt,
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: somebody said, well, what about Nick Foles? What about Nick Foles? Okay,
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: so that's a once a generation thing, spoiler alert, that's
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: already happened this generation. It's already happened to Nick Foles thing.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: This generation. It's not a different generation. It's the same generation.
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: It's already happened. So if you think that Browning can,
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm not saying he can't play well for
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: a week or two, because usually it's like the dead
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: cat bounce, the dead cat bounce where the backup comes
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: in and plays well and there's some excitement there and
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: teams rally around the backup quarterback, and so I believe
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: that's a legitimate thing. But long term, if it's a
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: three month situation for a month. Okay, three months, forget
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: about it, right, three months. It's like you know, you know,
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: smoking smoking crack. If you think that's gonna be the case,
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: good luck on that. It's not gonna end well now,
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: page two. So, staying with the theme of the Bengals,
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: who did win and off to the two and zero
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: start here, The question is popular opinion among popular people,
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: the usual media apologists that can never ever ever blame
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: the quarterback. It has to be somebody else's fault. Has
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: to be somebody else's fault. So they don't want to
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: blame Joe Burrow for being culpable in the situation he's
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: in Cincinnati. So instead they're like, they're blaming the Bengals
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: ownership for not protecting Joe Burrow. That that's the issue there.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: And so they said, well, you should have gotten a
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: better offensive line. That's the main argument, is that the
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: Bengals did not do a good enough job the front
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: office and getting an offensive line for Joe Burrow. So
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: does that work for you? Does that line of thinking
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: work for you? So I'll go first, and my reaction
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: is stop, stop, drop and roll. Please, No way that
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: is a cop out answer, is what that is, and
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: it makes me want to puke in my mouth when
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: I see that here. Joe Burrow himself lobbied. He had
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: a hissy fit. Burrow, he complained, I gotta get my receivers.
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: I need my pass catchers. He said, okay, so fine.
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: They went out and they got his pass catchers. But
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: he lobbied the ownership group in Cincinnati to dump a
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: quarter of the dreaded salary cap on Jamar Chase and T. Higgins.
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: Gotta have them both, gotta have them both. Most people said, well,
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: you get rid of T. Higgins, you keep Jamar Chase.
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: That's fine. No, no, no, Joe Burrow such a diva.
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: I need both these guys. I need them both. So
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: they kept them both. Okay, fine, So I'm as much
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: a salary cap truther as anyone. The math is the
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: math on that, though, and certainly with a tight watt
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: ownership group like in Cincinnati. So the Bengals were only
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: gonna pay a few guys. Burrow wanted them to pay
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: Jamar Chase, and they wanted He wanted them to pay T. Higgins,
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: so they did. Okay, fine, So that's your luxury tax
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: in shoulder pads right there, so you paid the wide outs.
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: You got them the money, and so that's on Joe Burrow.
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: You're playing GM. Joe, you're playing Lebron. You're the GM.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: You wanted these guys, okay, got him, You got So
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: let's not sugarcoat this. There's no need to put frosting
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: on it. It don't need to do that, you know.
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: Joe Burrow also is I'll see it quietly, injury prone.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: Job Burrow is injury prone. I said that. If you
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: look at his medical chart, have you done this even
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: if you're blind? Listen to the audio Joe Burrow his
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: injury chart. It looks like a Skittles bag with all
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: the different colors right picked your body part. You get
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: the green skittle for the ACL, the red skittle for
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: the MCL, those who have been torn. You've got a
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: purple skittle for the finger dislocation. You can have the
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: blue skittle for the calf strand the yellow skittle for
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: the sprain. And now you can add the turf toe.
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: I don't even know what other colors are left, but
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: that's it. So he's the Rainbow Warrior, not a Hawaii
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: rainbow Warrior, but a rainbow Warrior of the training room.
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: That's who Joe Burrow is. That's it, and so congratulations.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: He's the fragile rock Burrow. And when he plays usually
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: it's pretty good, not always, but usually pretty good. And
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: he misses a lot of times. So you can keep
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: selling Joe cool, this, that and the other thing if
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: every season, every single season, he's on the operating table
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: in a gurney wearing one of those outfits in the
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: hospital with the wrist tag and the whole thing. By Halloween,
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: you are what your record says you are, we'd like
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: to say in these parts, and you are what your
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: record says you are. Joe Burrow's record is riddled. He's
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: got more MRIs than MVPs. How about that, more MRIs
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: than MVPs. That's what he's got. And by the way,
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: by the way, if your quarterback is a Ferrari, congratulations,
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: you might want to stop driving your Ferrari through potholes.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: It generally does not go well. You call a tow truck,
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: and there's a lot of tow trucks there. The rims
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: get bent, the frame gets busted, the hood starts smoking,
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: and that's pretty much the career of Joe Burrow in Cincinnati.
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: All right, final point, dude, Jacksonville, we go the Jacksonville
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: side of things, the Jags on the losing side of
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: this game. I bring this up because rookie head coach
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: Liam Kohane in the middle of it, you talk about
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: being in the frying pan. He got into it during
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: the game with over raided Trevor Lawrence. I'm old enough
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: to remember that Trevor Lawrence at one point generationally all
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: time great player. You told me that tank for Trevor,
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: tank for Lawrence. And Trevor Lawrence has been in the
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: NFL a number of years now, and the only thing
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: he's good at is getting coaches fired. That's all he's
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: good at. The guy sucks Trevor Lawrence. So Trevor Lawrence.
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: Of course, Jacksonville blew the league because that's what they do.
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: They lose late to Cincinnati and Trevor Lawrence. You'll get
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: the numbers away. He had three touchdowns, two interceptions. Anyway,
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: get to the point. So during the game the loss
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: to the Bengals on Sunday, there, Trevor Lawrence was caught
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: on candid camera waving dismissively waving off Liam Khne after
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: throwing a inaccurate pass on a crucial down late in
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: the game. Now, we're big on body language, and you
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: don't have to be a body language expert to know
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: this is not good. This is not good. This is
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: not good at all. Now, during that particular game, Lawrence
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: did not take kindly to the criticism from Liam Cohne,
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: the head coach there, as we said, and he did
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: not complete the pass where it needed to go. On
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: the very next play though, after failing to convert on
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: third down, the Jaguars went forward on fourth down, and
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: this time Trevor Lawrence did did connect as he hit
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: Brian Thomas Junior, one of the rare times Thomas caught
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: a pass as the highly decorator wide receiver not very good,
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: get targeted twelve times, only caught four passes. Again, I
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: didn't play in the NFL. I don't think that's good.
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: I don't think that good. That's good. But the story
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: here is the interaction between the quarterback and the coach
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: and the fact that they ended up losing the game
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: later on, blew the lead in that game. So what
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: is your reaction? What is your reaction to the Jaguars
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence dismissively waving off his head coach Liam Kohne
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: on the sidelines. All right, So this is not nothing.
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: The only reason this clown, Liam Khne douve aal County.
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: The only reason this guy has a job is to
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: fix Trevor Lawrence. Like he is there, not the coach,
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: the entire roster. He is there because he's like the
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: next in the lineage of nerds. Liam Kohne is like
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: the new hot nerd. He's the centerfold nerd, right, and
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: so you've got the hottest nerd around, Liam Khne. You know,
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: he was with the Rams, the McVeigh tree, and then
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: he falling down, and then he went to college and
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: they went to Tampa, and then he had success with
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield. So he's like the sexiest nerd around and
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: he was hired to fix Trevor Lawrence. So here they are,
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: it's the second game of the season and they are
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: at loggerheads. They are at loggerheads on the sidelines. That
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: is not just heat of the moment, all right, That's
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: not like heat of the moment stuff. And all I
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: said that is body language. Divorce court is what that is? Right.
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: The quarterback just told his brand new head coach that
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: was hired for him. Get lost, pal, get a lot
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: of dope, get out of here. It's bad, that's bad,
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: all right. That was with the lead, they had the
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: lead at that time. You got Trevor Lawrence, who cantankerous
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: when he's ahead in the game. What's gonna happen when
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: they play Kansas City in a couple of weeks or whatever,
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: They're down by two scores, how's that gonna go? Sideline
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: is going to look like Jerry Springer back in the day.
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: And I'm all there for it. I'm there for it.
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: It's contentious and you would see or you could see
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: Liam calling the coach there, pounding his chest like a
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: gorilla and keep it low. Trevor, keeper low, Trevor like that,
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: and then Lawrence basically said, shut up, you meet ball hero,
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: you nerd, and meet ball sandwich. Get out of here.
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: You lose her. So and anyone. Every time there's a
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: sideline brujja, people bring up, well, Tom Brady got into
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: it with Josh McDaniels, he got into it with Bill Belichick,
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: And that's true, that is absolutely true. But that did
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: not start happening until Brady had established himself as good.
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: He wasn't doing that. When people thought he sucked, which
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: was the first two years of his career, they thought
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: he was a fraud and was not legit. And then
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: after a certain period of time people were like, well,
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: Tom Brady's legit, the real deal, all that stuff, So
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: you don't do that. Laurence stinks. Does anyone think he's
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: good under his family fix? He's good, He's terrible. He's
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: a highly overrated. He got the big contract because Jacksonville
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: has got low self esteem the franchise as a joke.
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: They paid the guy without earning the contract because they
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: were afraid they had, oh my god, we're gonna lose him,
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: you know, fear of missing out fo mo, and so
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: they paid him. All right, But if the quarterback is
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: not there with the coach and it is not good,
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: so Lawrence is not good and he's not there, doesn't
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: respect the coach. Keep an eye on this. This is
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: a it's a tinderbox situation in Jacksonville. It is. If
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: they're bickering like this on camera, they know the cameras
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: are on them all the time. When you're in the
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: NFL game, there's cameras all the time. There's twenty cameras
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: in an NFL game, they're all focused mostly on the
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: quarterback and the coach. And you know you're on camera
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: and you're doing that during the game. Okay with I'm
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: not gonna say millions because it's Jaguars game, but you know,
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: fifty people watching, So you have fifty people watching and
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: imagining the kind of squabbling that must be going on
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: behind closed doors. The thing about it, what's having Now
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: here's a Liam Cohen, the head coach of the Jaguars,
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: trying to downplay shocking, trying to downplay what happened with
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: his quarterback.
• 41:08
  Speaker 6: Take all, listen, it was just one throw. I was
• 41:11
  Speaker 6: just you know, it is what it is. It's not
• 41:14
  Speaker 6: that's emotion. It's not personal ever to bet. You know,
• 41:19
  Speaker 6: that's just kind of me getting worked up. So he
• 41:23
  Speaker 6: threw a dime in the back of the end zone.
• 41:25
  Speaker 6: It don't make a play, you know.
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: He was.
• 41:27
  Speaker 6: I was very pleased with his competitive nature, the ways
• 41:31
  Speaker 6: come on the sidelines that he doesn't get. You know,
• 41:35
  Speaker 6: he's pretty even keel, which is good for me.
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: I need that. Let me clear my throat here, bull crap,
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: excuse me, I'm sorry about that. Uh yeah, come on, please,
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: you know what it looked like. It looked like a
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: father yelling at his teenage son to clean your room, dude,
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: ball pick it up, Trevor, and then Trevor slams the
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: door right in your face, right in your face. It's
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: not exactly the leadership not respect. Would have been funny
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: if the coach had come out and said, oh, yeah, yeah,
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: we hate each other. We got to work together. We
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: can't stand each other. He hates me, he thinks I'm
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: a nerd. I think he's highly overrated. He's gonna get
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: me fired Trevor Lawrence. Now that would be funny. But
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: what a mess. So you got the quarterback who's like,
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: this guy's a dork, and my coach is a dork,
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: and Cohen's not. Not no of these nerd guys, No
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: of the nerds. Just like in Miami, right, you got
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: great ex's and those guy, but no leadership skills. That
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: generally does not end very well in that business. That
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: does not end well. You need the alpha, not the omega.
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: He's an omega and not an alpha, and that's a problem.
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller Show.
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: Weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: It's Mallard. How about that?
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: To the third degree, this is one big ben gets grilledo.
• 42:59
  Speaker 7: Texas fans are starting to turn on arch Manning. As
• 43:01
  Speaker 7: the Longhorn struggled in the first half against the UTEP,
• 43:04
  Speaker 7: they boot him boom.
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 43:07
  Speaker 7: Texas was like a six touchdown favorite and ended up
• 43:10
  Speaker 7: winning by only seventeen. Benet's still early, But do you
• 43:12
  Speaker 7: think Manning has already lost his projected number one draft status?
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: All right, So first of all, I look at arch
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: Manning the same way I look at J. J. McCarthy.
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: Both of them were spoon fed arch Manning. How many
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: is two years? Three years? He's already been in Austin
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy last year off. You cannot struggle against San
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: Jose State and sm Those are show up win domin
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: eight games. It's embarrassing. Now he's still got the Manning name.
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: So I'm not going to close the door that arch
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: Manning will be a top pick in the draft. But
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: it's not looking good. He looks like he doesn't know
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: what he's doing. It's embarrassing. I thought the guy was
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: gonna be good. He sucks.
• 43:48
  Speaker 7: Next, it was reported over the weekend that Baltimore Ravens
• 43:51
  Speaker 7: were set to take Shadur Sanders ahead of the Browns,
• 43:53
  Speaker 7: but that Sanders got word of the team that he
• 43:55
  Speaker 7: did not want to be taken by Baltimore.
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: Do you think that was the right move by Shador? Well,
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: let's see, he's the third string quarterback on the Cleveland Browns,
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: one of the worst teams in the NFL. He's really
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: the four string quarterback because that report over the weekend
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: said he doesn't even run the scout team, that Bailey
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: Zappi runs the scout team like you're not good enough,
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: You're not Hello. Of course it was not the right move.
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: Do something other than live off your daddy's last name.
• 44:21
  Speaker 7: Next, Carmelo Anthony was inducted into the Pro Basketball Hall
• 44:24
  Speaker 7: of Fame on Saturday, but it said that Melo won't
• 44:26
  Speaker 7: have his number retired by anyone, Ben, Do you think
• 44:28
  Speaker 7: that'll be the case.
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: Well, they hate him in Denver because he screwed over
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: the Nuggets. He wasn't that great with the Knickerbockers. So
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: who else is he good? I don't know. Is there
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: anyone else that can retire his number? Like Carmelo put
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: up a lot of points. There's the definition of a
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: stat Bandito Carmelo, Anthony. That guy total fraud. All right,
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: how do we do? Kobolo? You pass the guy? I won,
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: Mike Phelepricaan, I won the game snooker.
