Set 1: Grade 1 Hammy (w/ Kyle Brandt) · Stugotz and Company

• 0:03
  Speaker 1: And there's Dan Lanning out there because no one can
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: yell at him. There is Lanning out on the field,
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: not focused on the opponent, not focused on his team,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: not focused on the game. He is focused on making
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Pat McAfee laugh.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: Enough. Terrible.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Terrible job by Lanning.
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: Dan Lanning is the Nick Saban of Mike Norvell's.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: Who the hell is Dan Lanning?
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: Could at least give us Ben Johnson might be the
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: greatest coach ever.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: Uh, no.
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: It's knock if you agree with me.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Give me the frozen dungeon.
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: I know we're doing overreaction Mondays.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: I would still be surprised. And it's Tuesday.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: You got nothing right there.
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: It's time to get your pint.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Tomato, tomato.
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: There is no worse surprise than surprise Gouda.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: I felt so bad for Arch Manning playing so poorly.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: I was saying to myself, he doesn't have it. He's
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: not a Manning.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: Everyone is a fraud.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: This is Steve Spurrier, former Gator head ball coach.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: And you've been listening to Stugatz and Company.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: Everyone is a fraud. Surprise Gouda.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: It is Stugatz and Company presented by FanDuel and the
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: FanDuel Sportsbook. Kyle Brant going to join us in about
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: 15 to 20 minutes here. Looking forward to speaking with him.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Todd McShay going to join us as well today. Taylor
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: says it's over for Aaron Glenn. We'll get to that
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: in just a second. But yesterday was a fun Sunday
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: until a couple of quarterbacks decided to get hurt. Well,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: they didn't decide it, but they got hurt. both from
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: the same draft class, Caleb Williams and Jaden Daniels again.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Jaden Daniels, that was gruesome. Let's start there. The Jaden
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Daniels injury was gruesome, and they showed it way too
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: many times, too many times. And I think Tom Brady,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: was it Tom Brady on that game, Mikey? He represented.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: What did he say when he saw Jaden Daniels' dislocated elbow?
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: Tom Brady was all of us because when they showed
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: the slow motion, like, cause they, Oh, I think Jaden
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: Daniels got hurt on that. And then they show the
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: slow motion and you see J Daniels elbow bend in
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: a way that elbows are not supposed to bend.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Tom Brady, like all of us was watching and went,
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Oh shit. Yes.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Well, I love that Brady is so relaxed now and
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: he's getting better in that booth and he is saying
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: things that we're saying in our living room because I
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: think that's one of the keys to doing that job
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: in a way that's great, in a way that's different,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: in a way that's unique, in a way that's fearless.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Him just blurting out, oh, bleep, is exactly what I
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: was saying when I saw the injury.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: It's funny, you said two quarterbacks got hurt. One got
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: hurt and one got injured. And I think that is
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: something we need to get into at some point.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Jaden Daniels leaving that game is acceptable to most. Caleb
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Williams leaving the game somehow has become unacceptable to just
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: about everyone who doesn't live in Chicago. What is going
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: on with Caleb Williams, Taylor, the greatest quarterback I've ever seen?
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: So the update from Tom Pelissero is that Bears quarterback
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: Caleb Williams avoided any major injury to his hamstring Sunday
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: test confirmed. The team isn't even ruling him out for
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: next Monday's game against the Eagles. Caleb Williams, listen.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Come on. Leave my guy alone, man.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: He was hurt. No, absolutely not.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Go ahead, Taylor.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: I love Caleb Williams. You simply cannot get carded off
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: the field for a hamstring injury.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: I thought it was an Achilles at the time, maybe
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: an ACL. I thought he died.
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: I thought he literally just a sniper took him out
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: because the way he went down and then there's a
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: moment on the broadcast where the play-by-play guy Stop talking.
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: And you heard Caleb Williams roll over and let out
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: this primal scream.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: Yes. Like he had just ruined his entire season.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: I don't think anyone touched him. He felt Van Ginkle's
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: presence and he had to kind of make a move
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: from there. And he took a big step and I
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: thought he was going to score and the Bears would
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: go on to win that game. But that didn't happen.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: He just fell to the ground.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: So the Twitter doctors came out and they were like,
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: looks like a hamstring strain. And you have Bears fans
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: mad at them responding back saying, can you not open
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: your eyes? Look, he couldn't put any pressure on the leg.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: Did you not see his reaction, you idiots? It's an Achilles.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: It's an ACL. Something that is very clearly season-ending when
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: he's got tears in his eyes, the towel over his head,
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: the thumbs up to the crowd, the emphatic thumbs up
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: to the crowd.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: The towel.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: Then Mike Florio comes out after Sunday Night Football and goes,
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: by the way, guys. Bears think it's a grade one
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: hamstring strain.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Could have stayed in the game.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Grade one.
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: James Daniels got hurt in a way that if you
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: get into a bad car accident, you could get hurt.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: Caleb Williams got hurt in a way where if I
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: step wrong mowing my lawn, I get hurt.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: He's not going to be back next week. There's no
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: way he's coming back next week.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: And this is an unpopular take when it comes to
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: Caleb Williams, because I know Stu Gatz has already done
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: the thing where he crowns him.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: Even before Caleb Williams got hurt, he struggled against that
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: Vikings defense. He did not look good against the Flores Blitz.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: He didn't look good when he was pressured. He didn't
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: look good throwing outside the pocket. I know the conditions
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: weren't favorable, and would I take Caleb Williams as my
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: franchise quarterback?
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: 100%.
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: Do I think he has all the tools to be
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: an elite quarterback?
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: I don't think Caleb Williams, though, is anywhere close to
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: the tier of quarterbacks with Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes and
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: Joe Burrow. And games like Sunday kind of just prove
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: that where the flashes for Caleb Williams are there. but
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: the consistency really isn't.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: The elements cannot be an excuse. If you're going to
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: be the quarterback in Chicago, right? Like the elements can't
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: be like that has to be just part of your game.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: No, I know.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: But Robert floor has is really good at his job.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: That defense is really, really good. And I've seen Caleb
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Williams make throws against the wind in that stadium that
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: no other quarterback in the NFL can make other than
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Josh Allen, essentially.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: So, Just a quick correction. Robert Flores is the MLB host.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Roflo. Roflo.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: Brian Flores.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Brian Flores. Roflo was always on my mind. I mean,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: he was one of my closest friends when I was
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: at ESPN. I can't stop thinking about him. Sorry about that.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: Brian Flores.
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: But when it does come to Caleb Williams, the baseline
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: for those other quarterbacks that we mentioned, the Mahomes, the Allens,
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: the Burroughs, The baselines are so high for those guys
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: that even when they're not at their best, you still
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: trust them to consistently operate the offense. With Caleb Williams,
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: the accuracy, the decision-making, the pocket presence, the ability to
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: just stay on schedule as a quarterback, it does leave
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: a lot to be desired on a week-to-week basis.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: He was pretty consistent last year. I mean, he was.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: He got injured. I mean, what are you going to
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: do about it? The NFL, everyone stopped. It was like
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: everyone stopped. That stadium became silent. I was sitting at
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: home watching it. I was saying to myself, oh, my God,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: the greatest young talent we have in the game. He's out.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: This is not good. I thought he was going to
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: be out for the year. It is pretty ridiculous that
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: we find out hours later that he might play next week.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: I don't know what to do with Caleb Williams because
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: now he's going to be labeled as someone who is,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: I guess, too emotional, not a tough guy. He's going
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: to get those labels, right? Taylor's already doing it to him.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: You're tearing him down. We built him up for a year,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: and now we're going to tear him down because he
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: had a misstep.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: No, I don't have any problems with Caleb Williams showing
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: emotion on the football field. I'm just saying from a
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: quarterbacking perspective, his quarterback play leaves a bit to be
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: desired before you start comparing him to the Josh Allens.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Of the world. Right, because he only had three points
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: headed into that before the injury, right?
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he could run up a score against the Carolina Panthers,
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: but when Brian Flores comes to town, all of a
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: sudden you don't look like Superman anymore.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Speaking of the Panthers, they're good. I like that team.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers, they are fun to watch. They're a good
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: little football team. Spunky. You guys don't agree?
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: I I've been I've been on the Panthers train since
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: they won their own Super Bowl last year in the
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: playoffs by giving the Rams a game.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: I was like, you know what?
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: Right. This team's on to something.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying it's going to be all right. I'm
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: just saying of all those lousy teams in that division,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: that's the team I love the most in that division.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: That's all. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: Lousy teams. Yes. The Saints beat the Ravens.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's right. Oh, your boy. Your boy. He's becoming
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: a star, man.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: We are mother shuckers, baby.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I have to reach out to him. I do.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: I have to see if he'll join us this week.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: This is the right time to get him. The Ravens,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson now 1-1. The Saints should be 2-0, Mikey.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: You are right. I apologize. Carolina is not my favorite
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: team in that division. It is the Saints. They're exciting.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: They're fun to watch. They have the quarterback position figured out,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: and now they just get to build.
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: I'm just saying, it's going to be fun watching those
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: two teams battle it out to see who's going to
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: be 9-8 to go to the playoffs for years to come.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: You have them both. Did they play each other last
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: game of the season? It'd be great if they did.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: I hope so. They both entered that game 8-8. One
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: goes 9-8, one goes 8-9, and God forbid there's a tie.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: 8-8-1.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: You're checking the schedule right now? Yes.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: No, the Saints play the Bucs.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: That's unfortunate. They should reschedule. Yes. The Bucs losing, huh?
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: How about that, Baker Mayfield? You take that chip off
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: his shoulder and look what happens. This is going to
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: be so fascinating. How Deshaun Watson is going to be
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: greeted when he gets back to Cleveland, because they played
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: two road games. They're one and one. No one expected
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson and the Browns to win that game yesterday.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: He played fairly well in that game, and Todd Munkin
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: was very adamant after the game, and now they're forced
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: to start Deshaun Watson here and it seems like he'll
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: be the starter long term you're not going to sit
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: him after that start right Mikey.
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah no I that was their plan they seem to
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: be just anti going to Shador Sanders And now he
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: gets a win on the road. And it's like, well, see,
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: we were right. No, the bucks just might not be
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: as good as we thought they were.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: But Todd Monken, this is the first time he's had
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: a head coaching job. And whatever happened before he got there.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: And I hate to say it this way, but it's
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: not his problem. His problem is deciding on the best
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: quarterback that's going to help him win football games in
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: his first season as a head coach. And he chose
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson. And yesterday, he was proven to be right.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, Deshaun Watson was good yesterday. He won a
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: game on the road. That game took five hours because
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: of a lightning delay. But Todd Munkin was right. He
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: chose the quarterback that gives him the best chance to
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: win football games. And as Bomani said last week on
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: the show, think about it. If he is starting Deshaun Watson,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: who is so unpopular, not just in that city, but
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: every city, think about how bad Shador Sanders has to be.
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: It was a great win for Todd Munkin to get
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: his first career NFL win. But I was kind of
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: sick of him by the time he got to his
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: press conference where he's sticking out his chest and he's doing,
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: same old Browns, same old Browns, F that. We're not
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: the same old Browns. We took offense to that. Like, okay,
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: you beat a downed Buccaneers team in some sloppy conditions
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: in a one-score game. Todd Munkin, let's not act like
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: all of a sudden the Browns are going to be
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: some contenders in that division.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: He was too defiant? Is that what you're saying?
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: Like, if Todd Munkin– if the Browns finish this season– 2-15,
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: nobody will be surprised.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: I think I would be now, though. I mean, do
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: you guys think Deshaun played well?
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: No, not particularly. I mean, I think the defense played
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: well to win the game.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: No, they didn't.
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: I think Baker played poorly, and I think Deshaun Watson
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: did enough.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, it was 24-30 with two touchdowns, no interceptions.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: I mean. It's a pretty decent game. Yes.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: That's a decent game. Gino Smith had a decent game.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Are you all like, yeah, no, I'm just saying I
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: have Deshaun Watson was going to Mikey. He was tracking
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: to be one of the great quarterbacks in the NFL
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: until all the off the field stuff happened. And that's
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: on his own. That's his fault. That's no one else's fault.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: But Deshaun Watson, I'm just.
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: Saying that Deshaun Watson was bad his last year before
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: that stuff came out.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: Understood. But this is the best game I've seen him
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: play since he was actually good. Is that fair?
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: Okay. Right.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: That's fair. How do you think he's going to be
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: greeted in Cleveland? Like standing ovation? What do you think
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: the Browns fans are going to do? Because they're happy
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: just to get a win. I mean, they are starved
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: for their team just to be relevant, you know?
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: If you're right, that's sad. If you're going to look
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: at Deshaun Watson's body of work and then he gets
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: an ugly road win against the Bucs with a five-hour
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: lightning delay.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: And suddenly he's the toast of the town.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: And then all of a.
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: Sudden he gets standing ovations, then maybe it's time to
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: look in the mirror and think, maybe I should root
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: for a different team.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: That is fair. Who do they play this week at home, though?
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: Because fans have short memories, man, especially when it makes
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: them feel, especially when the things going on make them
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: feel good, you know? Who do they play next week
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: at home? Do we know?
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: The Panthers.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Oh, wow. Exciting. Game of the week. I mean, Sunday
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: night football.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: No, that's a hard one o'clock.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I know. Taylor, why is it over for
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Aaron Glenn? I have a feeling you're right. I can't
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: stand Aaron Glenn. I mean, I really can't. We were
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: so close to being 2-0, but why is it over
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: for him? Clock management?
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the clock management from Aaron Glenn was so bad,
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: and I've tried my best to be an Aaron Glenn
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: defender because I think you do see a different Jets team,
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: a team that Jets fans should probably be a bit
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: prouder of, but then there's just some decisions that he
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: makes where it's like, okay, this guy is a great
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: defensive coordinator, but he still doesn't really understand what it
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: takes to be a head coach, and you're always going
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: to be left wanting more with Aaron Glenn as the
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: decision maker, where the clock management at the end of
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: the fourth quarter was a disaster, where they basically stopped
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: the Packers on a fourth and five with 45 seconds left,
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: and then somehow, with two timeouts, you get to a
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: situation where the Packers have the 10-second runoff, are able
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: to call a timeout with two seconds and get a
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: free Hail Mary. Now, ultimately, it didn't cost you, but
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: even when Aaron Glenn was asked about it in the postgame,
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: he was like, yeah, I didn't even really consider taking
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: a timeout. It's like, whoa, you didn't even consider taking
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: the timeout? And then overtime starts, and they get the
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: coin toss, and the Jets win the coin toss, and
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: Aaron Glenn says, we want the ball. And you're like, no,
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: if you win the coin toss in overtime, you should
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: always want the ball second. And then Aaron Glenn's reasoning
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: in the postgame was, we wanted to control the clock,
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: which I'm not even sure what that means, Aaron Glenn
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: saying we want to control the clock, because both teams
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: get a possession in overtime.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure he knows what that means. He just
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: had to say something because he's up on the podium
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: after the game and everyone's grilling him and questioning his
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: clock management skills. And it's like he doesn't even know
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: what's going on out there on the field. He played
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: in the NFL and he was an assistant coach for
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: the Lions, a D coordinator. How does he not know
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: this stuff?
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: Because because he didn't know. That's the point.
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: He didn't know that both teams got the possession because
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: he hasn't been in a situation to be in overtime
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: because he hasn't been good enough to even bring a
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: team to overtime.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: OK, so when he got there, he was like, of course,
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: we want the ball. We're going to go down and
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: we're going to score.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: We're going to win the game.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: Yes. But you didn't because you shouldn't have taken the ball.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: Right now, some coaches will take the ball first. You
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: have to factor the weather in as well. The weather
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: was not good in New York yesterday during that game.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Some coaches will take the ball first because it's 10
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: minutes and perhaps they'll get a second possession. You know
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying? Some coaches do that. They do do that, Mike.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: What?
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: Did you see from that team the second half of
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: that game to think, we want two offensive possessions?
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: Right. That would be my question.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: Kick the ball off, play defense. Your defense has played
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: well the entire game.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: Hopefully you get a short field.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Yes, and then you know what you have to do, right?
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: You know what you have to do on your drive,
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: whether it's a field goal or a touchdown, and it
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: wins the game because once that second possession kicks in,
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: if the other team doesn't score, they win the game.
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: Mikey, I felt so bad because all my friends that
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: I grew up with are still Jets fans, and I'm
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: in the group chats with them from the times I
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: was Jets fans, and I was texting them during the game,
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: and I was like, hey, guys, I think this Jets
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: team might be different. This team looks a little good,
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: and they're just texting me. They're like, you have forgotten
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: what it's like to be a Jets fan. The other
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: shoe is going to drop, and I'm like, I don't know.
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: I think Aaron Glenn's really turning a corner, and then
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: the second I said that, The other shoe dropped.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: Well, because, yeah, we know. I mean, my friends were
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: saying the same thing to me, exact same thing to me.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: I said, stop it. Knock it off. They're like, Stu, 17-7,
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: we're going to be 2-0. And I said, guys, and
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: here's the thing with the Jets. If they've turned the corner,
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: they would have won that game. As an organization, if
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: they've turned any sort of corner, they would have won
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: that game. Do you know how many times me and
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: Mikey A have watched being up 17-7 in the second half?
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: Poor clock management and a coach blowing a game for us.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: My entire life I've watched that game. I knew it
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: was coming because I've seen it a thousand times before.
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: My buddy is a Packers fan and he went to
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: the game. And he texted me at halftime and he goes, wow,
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: you guys are going to get this one. And I go,
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: this game is not in doubt at all. You are
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: winning this game. There is 0% chance you don't win
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: this game.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: Aaron Glenn.
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: Is a great leader of men. He's just leading them
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: in circles. He has no idea where he's leading them to,
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: but he's just going round and round as same old Jets.
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: And as far as this team turn the corner, you
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: spent years drafting high, using high picks on offensive linemen
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: and pass rushers. You know what you couldn't do? Run
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: to pick up one yard with all your top players.
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: picks at offensive line, and you couldn't get a stop
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: when the defense was.
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: Able to pin their ears back and go get.
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: Oh, Bailey.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: Might be the defensive rookie of the year.
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: No, he was nowhere to be found when you needed
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: somebody to win a battle.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: Armand Membu, oh, he's a great right tackle. He fell
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: down on the fourth and one. Fell down. It was laughable.
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: Mikey, how many Jets Sundays... And exactly like that, where
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: it's just a wet ride home from MetLife and you're
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: just stuck in traffic for like a couple of hours.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: Most of them.
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: There is a reason I don't go to Jets games.
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: I go to football games every year. I never go
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: to a Jets game.
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: So my wife and daughter went to the first Aaron
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: Rodgers game. They were begging me to go. And what
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: are you laughing about? I said, I don't go to
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: Jet games. They said, why? I said, the ride home
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: is too much. It's always a disappointment.
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: Listen, say what you want about Aaron Rodgers. That man
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: tore his Achilles and tried to walk off the field.
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: Caleb Williams got a hamstring strain and needed to be
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: carted off.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: What are we doing to poor Caleb Williams, man? You
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: guys were waiting for this. You were waiting for the
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: moment where you could come in and crush Caleb Williams.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: He's still the greatest quarterback I've ever seen. He's going
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: to be great. He's going to be the greatest quarterback
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: we've ever seen. He's so good when he plays, guys.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: As long as he avoids Legos.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: Why is social media just crushing him today? They think
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: he's soft.
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: Deservedly.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: They think he's soft, huh? Oh, gosh.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: All right, let's get to Kyle Brandt here. Good morning, football.
• 19:56

• 21:39
  Speaker 1: quick here. Why'd you write the book, Kyle?
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: What a great question. One has to ask themselves that
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: exact question. A couple of reasons. I've had a really
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: weird life and a really weird career. My Twitter bio
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: for years has said my resume is stranger than yours.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: Doesn't mean it's better and it may be worse, but
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: I've been through some weird, weird stuff, guys. I've been
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: on MTV's The Real World. I was for three years
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: on a soap opera and then I started working for
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: Jim Rome and now I work for the NFL. I've
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: been all over the place. I played college football and
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: There's been a lot of superior resumes to mine, but
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: never one this weird, dude.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: How'd you transition? I think it was days of our lives, right?
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: That was the soap you were on. How'd you transition
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: out of that into the Jim Rome show? How did
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: that happen even?
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: It's a great question. So I was on Days of
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: Our Lives for three and a half years. I played
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: Philip Kiriakis. I was a one-legged Marine who became a
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: NASCAR driver, and I'm not making that up. I left
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: the show, I left town, and they recast me the
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: next day as some new actor. Because everybody does this
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: to guts. Everybody who's on a soap opera leaves because
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: they're all going to become Matt Damon. And same with me.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: I left, I did my three years. I'm like, okay,
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: now I'm going to become a movie star. One year later,
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: I was out of money. I was completely broke. I
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: was working an overnight infomercial with Jose Canseco. That story
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: is also in the book. But I had been keeping
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: a blog. That's what people did in the 2000s. We
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: just blogged. Just write any kind of nonsense. And Jim
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: Rome found my blog somehow, some way. And one morning,
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: I woke up on a Thursday at like 11.30 a.m.
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: I'd slept in my robe. And I get an email
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: on my BlackBerry curve from Jim Rome. And he's like,
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: I saw your blog, good stuff, strong takes, you know,
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: like we should meet. I'm thinking about adding to my
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: team here. And I went down and I met him
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: and I worked with him for nine years. And that's
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: what happened.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: That's amazing. So Rome was reading your blog and said,
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: I need that man to be my producer. I don't
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: care if he's doing soap operas, right?
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: There was a blog, and I remember I asked them,
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: I said, what was the blog entry that you liked?
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: That hooked you in, right?
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there was one, and I remember it strictly. So
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: I used to go and work out at the Valley
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: Total Fitness on Ventura in Studio City in L.A., in
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: the Valley. And one day I was running on the treadmill,
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: just doing like every other schnook, doing no big deal.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: And I noticed the guy to my right is tall
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: and really athletic. And as I'm running, I'm not making
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: this up, I look over, And the guy running on
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: the treadmill next to me is Carl Lewis.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: What?
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: I'm running next to Carl Lewis, the all-time legendary Olympian.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: And so I take a peek like one would at
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: the urinal, but it was at the treadmill. So I
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: look at his little display.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: I'm running faster than Carl Lewis on the treadmill. Like
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: I'm beating him. And so I suck at Carl Lewis.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: So I do this whole blog about that. And Rome's like, yeah, man,
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: that Carl Lewis blog was good. That was funny. It
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: made me laugh. And then that was the blog that
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: really sent me on a path that I'm talking to
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: you today on because that led to sports and ESPN
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: and then eventually the NFL and all of this stuff.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: And that's like just this book. I don't know if
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: it's good or if it's bad. Like, it's crazy. Like
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: that Carl Lewis and the treadmill thing is just a
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: drop in the bucket. And I put it all in there.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: We didn't even mention my Jose Canseco drive by, but
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: that's all true. Yes. So that's what's in the book.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: Well, tell us about the Conseco drive-by real quick. I
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: have follow-ups on the treadmill. I do.
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: Like I said, I was broke. Yes. And every actor
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: who's running out of money in L.A., there's a few
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: places you can go. You can become a personal trainer.
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: You can become a realtor. Yes. Or you can, like,
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: go into hosting. So I'm like, yeah, maybe I'll try
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: to be, you know, I can't be Matt Damon. Maybe
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: I can be Mario Lopez. And my agent found this
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: thing that, like, you know those things you see late
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: at night, Stugatz, where it's like, I got this $ 5, 000
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: set of golf clubs for just $ 12 because I bid
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: on it. I'm like, you know those things?
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: Yes, of course.
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: I was hosting one of those, and it was called
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: Bid for Prizes. Bid the number four prizes. And I
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: show up to do the thing, and they're like, well,
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: you know, we flexed a little muscle. We have a
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: friend of a friend here. We're going to have Jose
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: Canseco co-host it with you. I'm like, what? The Bass brother? Like,
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: the juiced-out Bass brother is going to come in here?
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: Me and Jose and, like, three Barker's beauties– screaming at
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: the camera to bid on this cappuccino machine right now
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: because we're running out. And it was just absolute rock bottom,
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: terrible moment. I got through it and eventually Rome found me.
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: But again, it's all in the bleeping book.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: Right. To be fair to the other, you know, to Ginseko,
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: they were both juiced, I mean. Yeah, definitely.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: Yes. I think I was too at the time.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: Back to Carl Lewis before we get to some football
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: real quick. When you walked into the gym, was he
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: already on the treadmill? I ask this for a specific reason.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: Was he already on it?
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think when I got on, you know, there's
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: 400 treadmills lined up and every single one of them
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: is taken. It's one of those things, Stugatz, where it's like,
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: 30 minute maximum time on the treadmill. So there's like
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: a waiting line, like who's got next. Someone got off
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: and I scurried right up there and got on it.
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: So he had already been on.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: I asked this because I was staying at the Doubletree
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: in Bristol. Mikey knows this story, I think. And I
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: walked into their gym at the time when I was
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: still walking into gyms. And Merrill Hodge was on the treadmill.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: And I was so afraid to go on the one
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: next to him because he's in such better shape than
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: me that I decided to delay my workout for a
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: half hour until Hodge got off, you know?
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: Well, I don't blame you because Hodge is one of
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: those guys who's going to go so hard, he's going
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: to have the shrapnel, like that Shamu splash zone. You're
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: going to get all of his sweat all over you.
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: It's disgusting, and I think you made the right call.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: Thank you. Go ahead, Taylor.
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: Kyle, right now it feels like social media is divided
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: between Bears fans and everybody else because a lot of
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: people are saying, Caleb Williams, you can't do the whole
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: cart it off thing anymore. With the crying and the
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: thumbs up to the crowd for a grade one hamstring.
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: And Bears fans, in defense of their quarterback, saying, sorry
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: that he cares.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: Yes, and I hate this because I have anointed him
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: as the greatest quarterback in NFL history. I have.
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: That was a fun six days ago. Listen, this thing
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: went from like, Oh my God, a football tragedy that
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: we lost this great talent to like 100 out of
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: 100 meme in a couple of hours. The second the
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: word got out that it might be like a hamstring pull, Like, every, like,
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: every dick who's been in high school football who's pulled
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: his hamstring is making a million. I'm seeing them all.
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: They're like, here's me when my legs fall asleep on
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: the toilet in the morning. And they're, like, waving as
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: they come up. Here's me when I step on a Lego.
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: All of that. I would just say this. I would
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: say the cart I understand is the franchise quarterback with
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: the lower body injury. And a year ago, if you
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: guys remember... Joe Burrow got hurt in the Bengals game
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: in the second week of the season. He had a
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: serious foot injury. Yep. And the dumbass Bengals made him
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: walk like 80 yards off the field, like with no support,
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: and everyone was killing him for not putting him on
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: the cart. The cart, I don't mind. The towel over
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: the head, I'm going to be all right, thumbs up
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: like someone on a spine board slash Kobe just ripped
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: his Achilles was a lot. Caleb, though, one of the
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: things that's very likable, an incredibly emotional guy, very emotional, up, down, everywhere,
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: crying at USC. We get it. I like that. So
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: I think that is him being himself. But the Paul
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: Pierce comparisons are just sitting there. And it's like they
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: almost like I saw the last report. It's like they're
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: not even declaring him out for week three. I think
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: they may have to just to save face. Yes. At
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: least give him one week out. Right, right. If you're
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: doing this on the cart, you cannot start week three. Yes.
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: Because then everyone's going to come out and say, why'd
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: you come out of the game in the first place, right?
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: I know. I know. You got to sit him.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: You got to. Put it on the bowl, Taylor. Do
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: you have to, for Optic, do you have to sit
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: Kayla Williams at least a week? Just for Optic.
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: At least a week.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: Yes. Who's the NFL team that has surprised you? I
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: know it's early. We're two weeks into this thing. But
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: what NFL team has surprised you the most thus far?
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: Right there. Same game. The Vikings. They're the coolest 2-0
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: in the league. There's some 2-0. And I think the
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: Raiders have a say in that, too. The Raiders are 2-0.
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: Some other cool teams are 2-0. But the Vikings, like
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: the whole plan for their coaching staff and their organization...
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: They're going to stage a quarterback competition in the preseason,
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: which was never a quarterback competition. They're going to go
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: with Kyler Murray, and this is going to be the
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: guy Kevin O'Connell can finally unlock his talent. 12 seconds
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: into the season, he's out. Like, the whole plan just goes.
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: And who do they turn to but a guy who's
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: been on nine different teams and wasn't even part of
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: the alleged quarterback competition? Like, this old war horse, Carson Wentz, like,
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: get in there and try not to embarrass us. 2-0,
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: best defense in the league through two weeks, most fired-up
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: coordinator in the league in two weeks. The guy's setting
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: the NFL on fire, Brian Flores, while actively fighting the NFL. Like,
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: it's rock and roll right now with Minnesota, what they're doing. Because...
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: Here's the shame about Minnesota. All any of us want
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: to talk about is Caleb's injury. Screw Caleb's injury. The
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: Bears had three points when he got injured. Right. Three.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: And if you would have told Brian Flores, you'll hold
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: Ben Johnson and the Bears to 17 points in this game.
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: Will you take it? Probably you would take it. Three
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: points is like a scarlet letter on Ben Johnson. He'll
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: go to his grave with that number. That's a terrible,
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: terrible number. And that's before the injury. So I think
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: it's the Vikings. Yeah.
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: On the other side, how disappointing are the Chargers? And
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: is it possible they could be 0-9? Because after losing
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: at home to the Cardinals and Raiders, they go to Buffalo,
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: to Seattle. They play the Broncos, the Chiefs, the Rams,
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: the Texans, and the Ravens.
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I hope so.
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: The Chargers right now, for me, they're the C word.
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: I can't utter it. I don't even want to talk
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: about them. I don't want to look at them. Because
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: every bleeping year, it's like, All right, here they come.
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: They got a cool quarterback and they got cool uniforms
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: and they got this player and that player. And it's just,
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: it's nothing. And it's almost like the league was like,
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: all right, let's step in here. Let's give them two
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: of the stupidest, easiest games you could possibly give a
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: team to start the season. Let's give both of them
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: at home where they have no home field advantage. We'll
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: just spoon feed the Chargers so they can be something amazing.
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: before they play real-life, regular, big, grown-up football. Let's get
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: them to 2-0. They lost both games. They lost both
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: games by multiple scores. They didn't compete. And now it's
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: like there's a real fascinating thing with Herbert because every,
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: and I say this affectionately, like every football egghead dork,
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: and I love you people, They love Herbert and they
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: will go to war for Herbert. And it's like we're
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: running out of real estate with which to defend him
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: because it's like you got to support him better. Shut
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: up with that. They drafted both tackles in the first round.
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: They drafted wide receivers. They brought in running backs. They
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: brought in tight ends. They brought in allegedly the best
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: coach in the world. They brought in allegedly the smartest
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: offensive coordinator in the world. And they suck. And he
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: has never looked worse. And this guy, Justin Herbert, I
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: think he has the greatest life of all time. He's 6'6, gorgeous, strong,
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: right arm, tons of money, engaged to this pop star.
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: Her name is literally beer. And he's got everything going
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: for him, except he cannot move the chains on third
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: down or second down or first down or any down.
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: The only thing wrong with the life of this professional
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: football player is that the football sucks right now. So
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: the Chargers are pissing me off.
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: How do you think Deshaun Watson is going to be
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: received when he gets back to Cleveland?
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: I'm so mad that the Browns won. I'm so annoyed
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: that the stupid Buccaneers lost because I wanted this. I
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: really wanted to see if they had the balls to
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: go at 0-2 with Watson playing poorly and say, nope,
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: start him for the home opener because that place would
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: have been Thunderdome. Lord of the Flies. I think there
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: would have been security issues. Yep. I think it would
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: have been like Lane Kiffin over the weekend with all
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: those mounted officers on horses. But now it's like, well,
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: he did just win and he beat Baker and like
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: he made some good throws. It's now really anticlimactic. I
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: think they may boo him or something, but it'll be pedestrian.
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: That won't be much. I don't even blame the Browns anymore.
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: I blame the stupid Buccaneers for losing who are, by
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: the way, 0-2. Right.
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: Kyle, what did you think of Shane Steichen's decision to
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: give the ball back to Patrick Mahomes on Sunday Night Football?
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: Terrible.
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: Just terrible.
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: It seemed like he was just playing for the tie.
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, the people I was on TV with
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: this morning, they're like, no, that was the right move
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: and the distance and the timing. I like Shane Steichen
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: a lot. I've met him before. He's a guy that
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: you guys would like. He's a regular guy. He curses
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: a lot. He talks like a normal person. He's a
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: sports fan. I would have liked to see– the only
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: way to be the Chiefs is you've got to snap
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: the neck. Like, if you let them hang around, they'll
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: always beat you. Go for it on fourth. Go for
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: it when you're not supposed to. They didn't. I thought
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: it was an odd decision. But thankfully, everybody watched the
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: Jets game, so they're talking about those terrible decisions and
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: not the Colts. That's taking some of the steam away.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: How bad is Aaron Glenn? I mean, it's just– we
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: were so close to being 2-0. I wanted to be 2-0.
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: And I have people telling me, hey, at least they're
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: not embarrassing you.
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: You know what?
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: I don't care. Like, when you have a 17-7 lead,
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: prove to me that you're a different team and a
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: different organization by putting that game away at home. And
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: they couldn't do it.
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: 1-0 doesn't mean much. The weak one is weird. I
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: always say weak one's a lie. 2-0 is legitimate football.
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: We won two games in a row. And by the way,
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: we're going to see it tonight, right? Like, the Giants
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: are going to the Rams. And it's like, if the
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: Giants somehow win that game... And between you guys, my
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: hair won't get blown back at all if they do
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: win that game against the Rams. Then they come back
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: across the country and they land on the tarmac. We
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: are 2-0, not some dumb week one win where this
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: team won. 2-0 is like 6-0 compared to 1-0. And
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: it's ridiculous that the Jets did not get there.
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: Mendoza is not going to see the field. I mean,
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: the more they keep winning, he's not going to see
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: the field. Maybe the entire season.
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: You think? You know, I think that they wanted to
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: actually win some games. They weren't like, I don't, you know,
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: we're supposed to start the guy, let him learn on
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: the fly, do all that thing. I just think they're like,
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: I think they wanted to say like, we never win.
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: We're the Raiders. We always suck. We always get fired.
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: Let's go with the experienced guy and maybe we can
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: get out of the gates two and two and like
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: actually change how things feel around here. And you saw
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: at the end of the game, not only did they win,
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: they got the like macho man, savage elbow drop, screw
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: you safety on the chargers with a holding penalty in
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: the end zone, which is one of the most undignified
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: looks on offense could have. I thought the Raiders felt
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: different yesterday and it's because they started their best quarterback,
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: not their future.
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: Win or lose is Carolina. The most entertaining team in football.
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: God, that week one game of Chicago was must watch.
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: It was so fun. And you're like, What gets lost
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: in it, again, like I'm saying about the Vikings, is
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: that how good the Panthers' offense was in week one.
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: So good.
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: There's something amusing about watching Bryce Young, too, because he
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: does look kind of like a child out there, just physically.
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: He's so small and he's so skinny. And yet he
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: is chucking it all over and they are scoring. So
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: I understand why Josh Allen does what he does or Lamar.
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: Like they're just, they're these superheroes. But watching Bryce Young,
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: it feels like a kid got down on the field,
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: but the kid you look up, he's got 380 yards.
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: So I love watching the Panthers. And I think Canales
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: is like a real viable coach for years to come.
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: I believe in them.
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: All right, we'll get you out of here. Again, his book,
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: Do You? How to Bet on Yourself by Being Yourself.
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: It's out January 5th, available for pre-order now. I love
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: the title of the book. Welcome to the Authors Club,
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: by the way. I mean, congratulations, you and I.
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: What's your advice, Dugatz? I don't want to be, you know,
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: obnoxious book whore for the next four months on every
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: pod and every show because people will deliberately not buy
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: the book out of spite because they're sick of hearing
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: from me. What should I do?
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: Be a book whore.
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: Buy it.
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: Buy it. Buy it. Pre-orders.
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: Pre-orders.
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: They tell me they're very important.
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: They are. They're very important. Listen, you have all these
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: platforms now. Just promote it. Bring that book everywhere you go.
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: Get up anywhere you go. Just bring it.
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: All right? I will do it. I'm glad to be
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: on your show. Of course, I go way, way back
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: with the iconic Jason J. Stewart, who is like the
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: hardest working man in radio. Just ask him. And I
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: know he'll be buying the book, but the audio book.
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: And thank you, guys.
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: He actually told me he's waiting for you to send
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: him a free one.
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: I know he is. I know. Pony up, Jason.
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: We'll buy books, okay, for the whole crew. Kyle, thank
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: you for doing this, man. Good morning, football. Check him
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: out there as well. We appreciate it as always, man.
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: It's good to see you.
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: I'll see you guys at Playland. Take it easy.
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: Oh, I forgot to ask you about it. Rye Playland.
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: Next time.
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: Next time. An entire interview on the rides at Rye Playland, okay?
