- 0:19Speaker 2: How do you measure Jared Goff's play or lack thereof
- 0:24Speaker 2: for the Lions? He completed less than forty percent of
- 0:26Speaker 2: his passes. Also, why does Dan Campbell continue to be
- 0:30Speaker 2: a daredevil on fourth down? Detroit turned the ball over
- 0:35Speaker 2: on downs five times in that game last night. And
- 0:39Speaker 2: what's the most puzzling thing about the Eagles offense under
- 0:42Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts as they had another subpar performance even though
- 0:45Speaker 2: Philly got the win.
- 0:47Speaker 1: We'll talk about.
- 0:47Speaker 2: All that and more right now, settling to our number one. Well,

- 2:18Speaker 2: com the way tire buying should be. So lead this
- 2:20Speaker 2: hour from Philadelphia, and right there there was big Game,
- 2:28Speaker 2: Big Game AFS and not AFC, NFC, NFC slober knocker.
- 2:33Speaker 2: On a cool night in the Delaware Valley, you had
- 2:37Speaker 2: Jared Goff leading the motorcade from Motown, the Detroit Lions
- 2:41Speaker 2: taken on the philidelphiing Is with Jalen Hurts and the
- 2:46Speaker 2: Birds the birds. Oh thumb wrestling action and how did
- 2:49Speaker 2: that go? We had Mike Tarrico, you had Collinsworth. They
- 2:52Speaker 2: were calling the game for Petecock NBC, doing their thing.
- 2:55Speaker 2: They're an island game, living the island life. And if
- 2:59Speaker 2: you didn't see the game, maybe you missed it, well,
- 3:02Speaker 2: don't worry. We watched so you would not have to
- 3:04Speaker 2: it as our act of kindness, our public service, if
- 3:07Speaker 2: you will so. Jalen Hurts did score a touchdown. He
- 3:11Speaker 2: didn't throw a touchdown. He scored a touchdown, and otherwise
- 3:16Speaker 2: mostly bupkus for the team representing the state of Pennsylvania.
- 3:21Speaker 2: They're a feeble offensive effort anemic. But yet the Eagles
- 3:26Speaker 2: offense despite not doing their job. You're supposed to do
- 3:30Speaker 2: your job. They didn't do their job. However, it was
- 3:32Speaker 2: enough for a sixteen to nine win over the Lions,
- 3:36Speaker 2: who failed on every fourth down attempt. And they kept
- 3:41Speaker 2: going and going and going and going and going and going.
- 3:46Speaker 1: But we're going to.
- 3:47Speaker 2: Begin with the losing side. Jalen Hurts not good, right,
- 3:51Speaker 2: we know that. But the better story is in the
- 3:53Speaker 2: losing locker room. As the team from Michigan an absolute stinker.
- 3:59Speaker 1: The Eagles offense was bad.
- 4:01Speaker 2: The Lions offense somehow was worse, led by the quarterback
- 4:07Speaker 2: Jared Goff and trickling down the suck. The gooey ooey
- 4:13Speaker 2: suck was going everywhere in that Detroit Lions locker rooms.
- 4:18Speaker 2: The offensive so defensively they were not don't even know
- 4:21Speaker 2: how good they were. The Eagles were so bad on offense,
- 4:23Speaker 2: it's hard hard to tell bad all the way around.
- 4:27Speaker 2: But let us discuss good jumping off point on that.
- 4:29Speaker 2: So we start with the quarterback Jared Goff. How do
- 4:33Speaker 2: you measure Jared Goff's performance for the Lions in this game?
- 4:39Speaker 2: So on this one, I've got software, Punk Rock and
- 4:44Speaker 2: Tom Hanks and we will combine all of these things
- 4:47Speaker 2: together and we're gonna put them into a food processor
- 4:50Speaker 2: and just see what we get.
- 4:52Speaker 1: We'll just chop everything up, make a puree, is what
- 4:55Speaker 1: we're going to do.
- 4:56Speaker 2: So a listen, we measure it like the famous review
- 5:02Speaker 2: years ago on the Internet of the Popeyes cheddar Baby
- 5:05Speaker 2: butterfly shrimp thing.
- 5:07Speaker 1: I remember that video.
- 5:08Speaker 2: It's gone, it's a few years old, but it's still funny.
- 5:12Speaker 2: Your disappointment when you watch Jared Goff play your disappointment
- 5:15Speaker 2: is immeasurable watching him try to play quarterback for the Lions,
- 5:18Speaker 2: and your day is ruined. Your day is absolutely ruined
- 5:22Speaker 2: watching Jared Goff attempt to play football. This was a
- 5:25Speaker 2: v G situation, vintage golf, watching Jared Golf on Sunday night,
- 5:32Speaker 2: straight out of the vault from his era with the Rams,
- 5:36Speaker 2: back in the day, and you could ram it all day,
- 5:38Speaker 2: you could ram it all night. But when Jared Golf
- 5:39Speaker 2: was there, you could not ram it in cold weather.
- 5:41Speaker 2: Couldn't do it, could not do it, couldn't happen. It's
- 5:45Speaker 2: so important for the Lions. They played a dome. You
- 5:47Speaker 2: I mentioned if they played outdoors, Jared Goff would be
- 5:49Speaker 2: out of the NFL. Now they had to play outdoors
- 5:51Speaker 2: in Detroit. Holy crap in the dome.
- 5:53Speaker 1: He's fine.
- 5:55Speaker 2: But then there it was the sequel that nobody asked for,
- 5:58Speaker 2: watching Jared Goff futs around in the field. Now, Sean McVay,
- 6:02Speaker 2: top coach in the NFL, Sean mcvav ry, Sean McVay
- 6:06Speaker 2: was so fed up with Jared Goff. How fed up
- 6:08Speaker 2: was he he actually put together a basket of first
- 6:12Speaker 2: round draft picks and said, listen, this guy blows so much,
- 6:16Speaker 2: we're gonna give you multiple first round picks to get
- 6:19Speaker 2: take Jared Goff plays. We don't want to be haunted
- 6:22Speaker 2: by the demons of Jared Goff, and the Lions took him. Suckers, suckers,
- 6:29Speaker 2: you took Jared Goff. HAA, he stinks.
- 6:33Speaker 1: I'm not.
- 6:34Speaker 2: This is he's a little bit better than Sam Donald,
- 6:36Speaker 2: who also blows. Where are those Seahawks fans by the way,
- 6:38Speaker 2: where you're at? Ha he sucks. Anyway, Listen, Jared Goff
- 6:43Speaker 2: completed less than forty percent of his passes in this game.
- 6:48Speaker 2: He had one touchdown and one interception and twenty six
- 6:54Speaker 2: I went back on I count twenty six negative plays
- 6:57Speaker 2: for Jared Goff. Twenty six. That's not a quarterback. Okay,
- 7:02Speaker 2: that is a weather report gone wrong, which is often
- 7:05Speaker 2: the case when you watch Jared Golf play. It's not
- 7:08Speaker 2: one bit surprising if you happen to watch Benny versus
- 7:11Speaker 2: the Penny on the YouTube. This last episode, we broke
- 7:14Speaker 2: down the Lions game, and on that TV A Slash
- 7:18Speaker 2: YouTube show, we talked about We talked about this and
- 7:20Speaker 2: the issues that Jared Golf has. When it's not some
- 7:24Speaker 2: kind of secret I'm not giving inside information here. Anyone
- 7:27Speaker 2: working brain knows this. When the thermist that I mean
- 7:32Speaker 2: Tad works, when the thermist that drops before what's called
- 7:36Speaker 2: California comfortable, anything below sixty degrees California comfortable. Anything below that,
- 7:43Speaker 2: you give this guy forty degree weather and win like
- 7:46Speaker 2: they had in Philadelphia at the start of the game.
- 7:49Speaker 2: He got colders the night when I was like forty
- 7:51Speaker 2: five degrees. Suddenly the software crashes. It just crashes. He
- 7:56Speaker 2: starts buffering, he needs an update. There's a glitch, the
- 7:59Speaker 2: thing's not working. The watching might call. You can't fix it.
- 8:03Speaker 2: Watching Jared golf play in cold weather is like watching
- 8:08Speaker 2: a preview of a horror movie. You know there's gonna
- 8:11Speaker 2: be some kind of jump scare somewhere in there. You're
- 8:13Speaker 2: not sure exactly where it's going to be, but it's
- 8:15Speaker 2: gonna be in there.
- 8:16Speaker 1: It's coming.
- 8:17Speaker 2: And with Jared Goff, is it going to be I
- 8:19Speaker 2: don't know. Is it gonna be a fumble? Is it
- 8:21Speaker 2: gonna be the horrific interception? What is it going to be?
- 8:25Speaker 1: Right?
- 8:25Speaker 2: The sack, the ill time sack? Which one is gonna be?
- 8:29Speaker 2: You know it's coming, It's coming. Attractions with Jared Goff
- 8:33Speaker 2: outdoors cold weather, I'm not even that cold. It's gonna
- 8:37Speaker 2: get a lot worse, right, And here's the Lions' only hope.
- 8:41Speaker 2: And they actually had this last year and he still
- 8:43Speaker 2: left it up. But the Lion's only hope is home
- 8:46Speaker 2: field advantage and stay relatively healthy and then do some
- 8:51Speaker 2: kind of deep meditation something.
- 8:54Speaker 1: Along those lines.
- 8:56Speaker 2: And if you do all that, you'll still probably end
- 8:58Speaker 2: up screwing this thing up.
- 8:59Speaker 1: But if you go on the road, forget about it.
- 9:02Speaker 2: You know, imagine if the Lions have to play on
- 9:03Speaker 2: the road in the playoffs in Philly or Detroit or
- 9:05Speaker 2: Green Bay or somewhere like that.
- 9:07Speaker 1: Oh man, that's not gonna end.
- 9:09Speaker 2: Well, it's not anywhere outside where the breeze goes above
- 9:14Speaker 2: eight miles an hour. It's not going to be a
- 9:18Speaker 2: pleasant situation for the team that wears the Honolulu Blue.
- 9:21Speaker 1: There you can say it would be ov r over.
- 9:26Speaker 2: He just fizzles and shrivels Jared Goff, and it just
- 9:31Speaker 2: you know it's gonna happen. Well, here's Jared Goff, in
- 9:33Speaker 2: his own words, the man that's stunk it up for
- 9:37Speaker 2: the Detroit Lions in golf. Here let's jump the cut
- 9:41Speaker 2: two here, pointing out that he did not get the
- 9:44Speaker 2: job done.
- 9:44Speaker 1: Take a list six and four.
- 9:45Speaker 3: Right in the middle of the season, got three home
- 9:47Speaker 3: games coming up, got a lot to look forward to,
- 9:49Speaker 3: got a lot of us things in front of us.
- 9:52Speaker 3: We got a good veteran unit. We respond the right way,
- 9:54Speaker 3: We will respond the right way. And yeah, it sucks
- 9:57Speaker 3: as things. You want to come out here and play
- 9:58Speaker 3: well and beat a really good team and to have
- 10:00Speaker 3: you know, a kind of hallmark win of the middle
- 10:02Speaker 3: of the season, but didn't get it done and got
- 10:04Speaker 3: to move on final way to win next week. We
- 10:05Speaker 3: had to do our job and try to score. Wow,
- 10:07Speaker 3: we didn't.
- 10:07Speaker 1: He still goes, well, it's worse.
- 10:09Speaker 3: You know, our defense plays well and feel like you
- 10:11Speaker 3: let them down, and you know, I know, I certainly do.
- 10:13Speaker 1: And it sucks.
- 10:15Speaker 2: I think that might take the right I don't know.
- 10:17Speaker 2: That seemed like the record center for most cliche. That
- 10:20Speaker 2: was pretty good.
- 10:20Speaker 4: Here.
- 10:21Speaker 1: That's how long was that sound?
- 10:22Speaker 5: Boy?
- 10:22Speaker 2: What are we looking at here? Thirty seconds? Thirty seconds?
- 10:27Speaker 2: I wasn't counting at the beginning. I want to play
- 10:30Speaker 2: the cliche game. Do we have what do we have?
- 10:32Speaker 1: The standard?
- 10:32Speaker 2: Do we have you give me some Scott pot sednik
- 10:35Speaker 2: to get me in the mood. Here, this is the
- 10:36Speaker 2: all time king.
- 10:37Speaker 1: Of the cliches. Here, this is a guy used to
- 10:39Speaker 1: be a baseball player.
- 10:40Speaker 2: Well he still guess a former baseball player played for
- 10:42Speaker 2: the Dodgers at the end of his.
- 10:43Speaker 1: Career as known as a White Sox.
- 10:45Speaker 2: He was on the White Sox team that won the
- 10:46Speaker 2: World Series twenty years ago, and he played for the
- 10:49Speaker 2: He bounced around, play with the Mariners, played the Dodgers anyway,
- 10:52Speaker 2: he was doing the Dodger post game thing, and he
- 10:54Speaker 2: gave us the gold standard for most cliches.
- 10:57Speaker 1: Take a list, it's it right here.
- 10:59Speaker 6: Well, they're all important, and we got to win as
- 11:00Speaker 6: many as we can. A lot of baseball we played.
- 11:03Speaker 6: Anything can happen. Yeah, We're gonna come the yard each
- 11:05Speaker 6: and every day, battle each night and look up at
- 11:08Speaker 6: the end of see what we say, and we know
- 11:09Speaker 6: our work is cut out for us.
- 11:10Speaker 1: We got a lot of work to do.
- 11:11Speaker 6: Hopefully we can all come together realize what we have
- 11:14Speaker 6: here and try to get something done.
- 11:16Speaker 1: That's the goal standard. Let's hear.
- 11:17Speaker 2: Now we will juxtapose what you just heard, and now
- 11:20Speaker 2: we will do the count before we count, though, Let's
- 11:24Speaker 2: play a little game. You can play along as well
- 11:26Speaker 2: as you listen here and try to stay focused on
- 11:29Speaker 2: what you're doing. Let's try thirty second sound bite. Let's
- 11:31Speaker 2: try to guess how many cliches Jared Goff worked into
- 11:34Speaker 2: a thirty second SoundBite. I'm gonna say, I'm gonna go fourteen.
- 11:39Speaker 2: I'm gonna go fourteen. Anyone else went in on this
- 11:41Speaker 2: A lot? That is a lot.
- 11:42Speaker 1: I'll go half of you, half to seven. Oh, it's
- 11:45Speaker 1: more than seven. It's gotta be more than seven.
- 11:47Speaker 2: All right, cool for a thirty second sound bite, and
- 11:50Speaker 2: he doubled up on some, but we're gonna count those.
- 11:52Speaker 1: So I think he's closer to Loraina. I think there
- 11:57Speaker 1: was a lot of talking with him without saying much.
- 12:00Speaker 1: So okay, all right, all right, here we go.
- 12:02Speaker 2: We're playing the Jared golf cliche game. This is the
- 12:05Speaker 2: suck bag quarterback of your Detroit Lions. Let's go to
- 12:08Speaker 2: the audio tape. Here we go play again, six and four.
- 12:10Speaker 3: Right in the middle of the season, got three home
- 12:12Speaker 3: games coming up, got a lot to look forward to,
- 12:14Speaker 3: got a lot of football ahead of us. Everything's in
- 12:16Speaker 3: front of us. We got a good veteran unit. We
- 12:18Speaker 3: responded the right way. We have spawned the right way,
- 12:20Speaker 3: and yeah, it sucks, hiss stings. You can come out
- 12:22Speaker 3: here and play well, and he did a really good
- 12:24Speaker 3: team and be able to have you know, kind of
- 12:26Speaker 3: hallmark win of the middle of the season, but didn't
- 12:28Speaker 3: get a town. Got to move on final way to
- 12:29Speaker 3: win next week. We had to do our job and
- 12:31Speaker 3: try to four points and we didn't. It feels horrible.
- 12:33Speaker 1: It's thirty worse.
- 12:34Speaker 3: You know, our defense plays well and feel like you
- 12:36Speaker 3: let them down, and you know, I know I certainly do.
- 12:38Speaker 1: And it sucks.
- 12:40Speaker 2: I think that's I think I had thirteen. I counted thirteen.
- 12:44Speaker 2: He was like he was at seven. I feel like
- 12:46Speaker 2: he was at seven in like twelve seconds.
- 12:49Speaker 1: Yes, it was. It was a rapid.
- 12:52Speaker 2: Fire, playing a guy, play the guys, playing the guy.
- 12:55Speaker 3: Okay, six and four right in the middle of the season.
- 12:57Speaker 3: Got three home games coming.
- 12:58Speaker 1: Up, Clea, We got home games.
- 13:02Speaker 2: We got home games coming up, and we got home games.
- 13:07Speaker 1: That's not a cliche.
- 13:09Speaker 2: You don't win all your home games. It's a cliche.
- 13:12Speaker 2: It's laziness, is.
- 13:13Speaker 1: What it is. Plandy guy, blady guy.
- 13:15Speaker 3: Right in the middle of the season, got three home
- 13:17Speaker 3: games coming up, got a lot to look forward to.
- 13:19Speaker 1: Not to look forward by fat ass out of us.
- 13:21Speaker 3: Everything's in front of us. We got a good veteran unit.
- 13:23Speaker 3: We responded veself out here and play well, and he
- 13:28Speaker 3: did a really good team.
- 13:30Speaker 2: Okay, he's empty. The man's got no soul. There's Jared Goff.
- 13:34Speaker 2: I can't wait till his cheesy radio show in Detroit.
- 13:36Speaker 2: I'm sure that'll be amazing anyway, all right, now move
- 13:39Speaker 2: turn the page. The other issue, the will the beast
- 13:42Speaker 2: in the room if you will, for.
- 13:43Speaker 1: The Detroit Lions.
- 13:44Speaker 2: Here the Lions who entered the game averaging thirty one
- 13:47Speaker 2: point four points per game. Of course, that was mostly
- 13:51Speaker 2: in domes and against bad opponents. They turned the ball
- 13:54Speaker 2: over five times on downs. They didn't punk the ball
- 13:58Speaker 2: away they need, they didn't throw interceptions and fumble. They
- 14:03Speaker 2: turned it over on downs. Okay, which is not ideal.
- 14:09Speaker 2: Was not their record, but it was close to the record.
- 14:11Speaker 2: And so that's where we are here is let's hear
- 14:14Speaker 2: from Jared Gough. This is a cut one on Jared Goff.
- 14:16Speaker 2: Here's Jared Goff on the fourth quarter or the fourth
- 14:20Speaker 2: down players.
- 14:21Speaker 1: What do you have to say.
- 14:22Speaker 3: I don't think there's anything to do with him and I.
- 14:24Speaker 3: I think there was just tight coverage, and yeah, we
- 14:27Speaker 3: just didn't connect. There's a few I'd like to have
- 14:29Speaker 3: back that I that I just missed on. Slight miscommunication
- 14:33Speaker 3: on our end on one or two of them, maybe,
- 14:35Speaker 3: But it should never be that bad. It really shouldn't.
- 14:38Speaker 3: It wasn't good enough.
- 14:40Speaker 1: Okay, wasn't.
- 14:41Speaker 2: And now here's Dan Campbell, Dan Campbell just in general,
- 14:44Speaker 2: forget just the fourth days, but here's Dan Campbell pointing out.
- 14:47Speaker 1: That, well, this did not go as planned.
- 14:50Speaker 7: We were just a little off. I mean, it really
- 14:52Speaker 7: was kind of one of those days. I hate saying that,
- 14:54Speaker 7: but it was just a little bit of one of
- 14:55Speaker 7: those days. And Golf and Saint Brown don't connect more
- 15:00Speaker 7: than that. You know, that's just a rare thing because
- 15:03Speaker 7: those guys, those guys have such a good connection. But
- 15:06Speaker 7: you know, there again, man, we're all involved in this.
- 15:08Speaker 7: We all got hand in it. For me, the coach
- 15:12Speaker 7: is all of us. Man, everybody that's part of this offense.
- 15:15Speaker 7: You know, we got to be better, especially in a
- 15:17Speaker 7: day like today, when you're playing that kind of defense,
- 15:19Speaker 7: that kind of team.
- 15:20Speaker 2: Yeah, right, So that Dan Campbell took over as the
- 15:22Speaker 2: play caller. Continue that. So the question, let's just focus
- 15:24Speaker 2: in on the fourth down. We'll focus in on the
- 15:27Speaker 2: on the fourth down. So why does Dan Campbell continue
- 15:31Speaker 2: to be a unhinged daredevil on fourth then? So the
- 15:37Speaker 2: obvious answer is because this is who he is, this
- 15:39Speaker 2: is who he has become. He loves punk rock, He's
- 15:42Speaker 2: a big fan of punk rock. Dan Campbell his favorite
- 15:44Speaker 2: band all time is Bad Religion. Big fan of Bad Religion.
- 15:47Speaker 2: And this is NERD approved. I can't think of a
- 15:50Speaker 2: more meat head coach than Dan Campbell, and I like
- 15:53Speaker 2: the guy. I don't hate Dan Campbell. He the guy's
- 15:55Speaker 2: a meathead. The guy's an absolute meathead. I don't have
- 15:58Speaker 2: a problem with it. But some said, okay, go for
- 16:01Speaker 2: it on fourth then, and Dan Campbell's like okay. So
- 16:03Speaker 2: he grunted like the caveman and said, Okay, I'll just
- 16:06Speaker 2: go for it on fourth out every single time. No logic,
- 16:09Speaker 2: no rhyme, no reason. I'll just keep going for it
- 16:12Speaker 2: on fourth out over and over and over and over,
- 16:14Speaker 2: and it gets approved and the geeks like it and
- 16:16Speaker 2: the smart people like it.
- 16:17Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep doing it. I can't stop.
- 16:21Speaker 2: Dan Campbell wakes up every morning every morning and he
- 16:25Speaker 2: pounds a coffee the size of a fire extinguisher and
- 16:28Speaker 2: then whispers to himself, Live by the sword, Die by
- 16:32Speaker 2: the sword. And Sunday night, if you watch the game,
- 16:35Speaker 2: that was a bloody crime scene, very violent death for
- 16:38Speaker 2: the Detroit Lions, zero for five on fourth down, a
- 16:41Speaker 2: lot of stuff spilled everywhere. And as a result, because
- 16:45Speaker 2: of this, the Detroit Lions find themselves in the eighth
- 16:49Speaker 2: spot in the NFC. You want to take a guess
- 16:51Speaker 2: how many teams make the playoffs in the NFC.
- 16:54Speaker 1: It ain't eight.
- 16:55Speaker 2: Right now, the Detroit Lions are a non playoff team.
- 17:00Speaker 1: Let me repeat that for those in the back room.
- 17:01Speaker 1: The Lions are not a playoff team at this point.
- 17:04Speaker 1: They're out. They're out of the playoffs. Seven in their
- 17:08Speaker 1: number eight.
- 17:09Speaker 2: That's your twenty twenty five Detroit Lions, six and four
- 17:13Speaker 2: and watching from the kids table when the playoffs start.
- 17:16Speaker 1: If the Lions do not pick things up here, Dan.
- 17:18Speaker 2: Campbell, he coaches like every game is a bar fight
- 17:22Speaker 2: at a waffle house at two point thirty in the morning,
- 17:26Speaker 2: and look when it works and it has worked a
- 17:29Speaker 2: lot the last couple years of the Lions.
- 17:31Speaker 1: He's the folk hero.
- 17:32Speaker 2: He's the macho man, Dan Hambell biting kneecaps and all
- 17:36Speaker 2: that stuff and lifting weight, you know, weight up and
- 17:40Speaker 2: like he's like a superhero picking a school bus up
- 17:42Speaker 2: off somebody fell on top of He's just that's who
- 17:45Speaker 2: he is. But when it doesn't, it becomes biblical and
- 17:49Speaker 2: not in a good way. Right, the Lord give it,
- 17:51Speaker 2: the Lord take it away for the Detroit Lions here
- 17:53Speaker 2: and on Sunday night, he took it.
- 17:54Speaker 1: Away hard, hard, hard heart.
- 17:56Speaker 2: And the best part, I love the shots of Dan
- 17:58Speaker 2: Campbell when he seems genuinely shocked that that fourth down
- 18:01Speaker 2: play didn't happen, Like it didn't work.
- 18:03Speaker 1: Oh my god, I can't believe it didn't happen. It's amazing.
- 18:06Speaker 1: What is up with that?
- 18:07Speaker 8: All right?
- 18:08Speaker 1: Last word? We go now to the Philadelphia side.
- 18:12Speaker 2: Of things, where the Eagles win without any style points.
- 18:16Speaker 2: What is here's the question, what is the most puzzling
- 18:19Speaker 2: thing about the Eagles offense under Jalen Hurts? A Super
- 18:25Speaker 2: Bowl winning quarterback. You can never criticize Jailing Hurts?
- 18:28Speaker 1: What to bet? Stay tuned?
- 18:30Speaker 2: All right, So what is The most puzzling thing about
- 18:32Speaker 2: the Eagles offense with Jalen Hurts. How about everything with
- 18:35Speaker 2: the capitally, everything with the capital. It's like Tom Hanks
- 18:40Speaker 2: line from Forrest Gump Life and the Eagles offense like
- 18:44Speaker 2: a box of chocolate.
- 18:45Speaker 1: You never know what you're gonna get. You just don't.
- 18:47Speaker 2: And the Eagles they seem fine to the low information fan.
- 18:51Speaker 2: Everything's great, all right, and it's working right now. They're
- 18:55Speaker 2: eight and two. They're on top of the NFC because
- 18:58Speaker 2: of the tiebreaker, the fuel goal by the Eagles against
- 19:01Speaker 2: the Rams. They owned the tiebreaker with the Rams, who
- 19:04Speaker 2: beat a bad Seattle Sam Dartle in that game. More
- 19:08Speaker 2: than that later, But the Eagles are in the presidential
- 19:10Speaker 2: suite right now.
- 19:11Speaker 1: They are.
- 19:11Speaker 2: They got the room service going, they got the maid service.
- 19:14Speaker 2: They've got to turn down something. Got everything you need
- 19:17Speaker 2: all right there. All while they're quarterback. Jalen Hurts is
- 19:21Speaker 2: delivering the minimum viable effort, do the bare minut. You
- 19:25Speaker 2: might as well work at the DMV watching him to
- 19:28Speaker 2: play quarterback. My god, what happened? Where's the vertical passing game?
- 19:32Speaker 2: Where did it go?
- 19:33Speaker 1: Where was it? Ever?
- 19:35Speaker 2: I thought that was a superstar quarterback. You told me
- 19:37Speaker 2: all Jaalen Hursts need to win the Super Bowl, superstar quarterback.
- 19:39Speaker 2: Boom done. Okay, won the Super Bowl. And this is
- 19:42Speaker 2: what you get. That's a super Bowl winning quarterback.
- 19:44Speaker 5: There.
- 19:45Speaker 1: I thought Offensive player of the Year, that kind of guy.
- 19:47Speaker 1: Where's that guy? You want checkdowns, He'll give you a checkdown.
- 19:51Speaker 2: A lot of checkdown misthrows you sailing over the head
- 19:56Speaker 2: or bouncing on the ground, avoiding risk like it's gluten.
- 19:59Speaker 2: There's a a lot of that. That seems to be
- 20:01Speaker 2: the biggest issue that Jalen Hurts is afraid to throw
- 20:03Speaker 2: balls into tight windows because he's gonna get picked off,
- 20:06Speaker 2: and so rather he'll check it down. And the result
- 20:08Speaker 2: is you score less than fourteen points most games. And
- 20:12Speaker 2: so that's your franchise quarterback. And you look at the
- 20:15Speaker 2: play mixer, it was squamp Barkley and the background in
- 20:17Speaker 2: the background and backfield rather but aj Brown. Look at
- 20:21Speaker 2: these guys they have on offense in Philadelphia, and it's
- 20:23Speaker 2: like watching someone drive a Nascar in the right lane
- 20:27Speaker 2: going forty eight miles an hour. Well, no, the goal
- 20:29Speaker 2: is not to go forty eight miles an hour in
- 20:31Speaker 2: the right land. And you know you've got to do
- 20:33Speaker 2: something more than that. That's not good. And Philly, listen,
- 20:35Speaker 2: they keep humming along, right, they keep humming along. Everything's
- 20:38Speaker 2: great here. They win ugly, builds character builds great. They
- 20:41Speaker 2: win sloppy games, and they win in the mud. Of course,
- 20:44Speaker 2: there's no mud on these games, most of these fields,
- 20:46Speaker 2: because they're all field turf.
- 20:48Speaker 1: But they win ugly. They win ugly.
- 20:51Speaker 2: And the Eagles offense really the football version of a
- 20:55Speaker 2: student that didn't study the night before an exam and
- 20:58Speaker 2: then rolls in there eye hungry, thirsty, and they.
- 21:05Speaker 1: Get it done.
- 21:06Speaker 2: They get it done and somehow get an a minus.
- 21:09Speaker 2: That just seems to work out for them. I don't
- 21:11Speaker 2: know how they do it. The defense in this case
- 21:13Speaker 2: is bailing out. The last couple of games, the Eagles
- 21:15Speaker 2: defense is absolutely build them out against Green Bay and
- 21:18Speaker 2: now this week here, this is another island game against.
- 21:21Speaker 1: The Detroit Lions.
- 21:22Speaker 2: The run game does just enough with Barkley just enough,
- 21:25Speaker 2: and Hertz just does the bare minimum not to lose.
- 21:29Speaker 2: And that's the recipe right now for the Philadelphia Eagles.
- 21:32Speaker 2: It shouldn't work, but it does work. It is working.
- 21:36Speaker 2: And that's the paradox with the Eagles because Mark my Worth,
- 21:40Speaker 2: you look at that puzzle and said, well, the puzzle's working.
- 21:42Speaker 2: I can hear Fats and Philly and Jonathan and Delaware
- 21:45Speaker 2: and those guys and Fry Daddy, all all our eagle fans,
- 21:48Speaker 2: so they oh, it's working.
- 21:49Speaker 1: You those are you? Those are Mallard's working. Okay, okay,
- 21:53Speaker 1: all right for now, for now, sooner or later. Sooner
- 21:58Speaker 1: or later. It catches up to you. It always does.
- 22:01Speaker 1: It always kisses up to you.
- 22:02Speaker 4: For now.
- 22:03Speaker 1: It's it's clicking. It's not sustainable. It's not. It is

- 24:44Speaker 2: we Go Gunner from a walmart In northern Minnesota, and
- 24:51Speaker 2: he's quite the character. He says, how about my Panthers,
- 24:54Speaker 2: they're looking like a playoff team.
- 24:56Speaker 1: They could easily beat your Rams. Yeah, okay, well good
- 24:59Speaker 1: luck on that, Connor.

- 25:07Speaker 2: Chip and the Q's right, since says hey, plus on
- 25:09Speaker 2: the opening mouth monologue, want proof that Dan Campbell is
- 25:11Speaker 2: truly a caveman.
- 25:13Speaker 1: See if you can get him to.
- 25:15Speaker 2: Say Yabba dabado, Tom from Fullerton and Socau writes, and
- 25:20Speaker 2: he says, hey, Mallard, how about my Chargers? After punching
- 25:24Speaker 2: the Steelers in the mouth, they then proceed to fold
- 25:26Speaker 2: like paper before the feeble Jaguars.
- 25:29Speaker 1: Yes, we'll get to that later on. Get to that
- 25:33Speaker 1: later on.
- 25:33Speaker 2: Nature Boy says, when Dan Campbell keeps trying to go
- 25:36Speaker 2: for it on fourth down, he reminds me of somebody nature.
- 25:39Speaker 1: Well, it's somewhat somewhat of.
- 25:42Speaker 2: A good analysis there. Absolutely Nostradinas is a delusional still
- 25:50Speaker 2: spreading Seahawk propaganda. What else do we need this page?
- 25:54Speaker 2: Dan Brock writes, and says again the Philadelphi Eagles are
- 25:57Speaker 2: going to win the Super Bowl.
- 25:59Speaker 1: They're gonna do it again. They're gonna do it again.
- 26:01Speaker 2: Okay, Chris and de Moines, says Ben who's leading the
- 26:04Speaker 2: NFC North, the Bears, Dob bears, these specialist writes in
- 26:10Speaker 2: and says that these Seahawks were exposed. They are not
- 26:13Speaker 2: for real as I've suspected. And Sam Darnald was playing
- 26:17Speaker 2: like Gino Smith. That's the real Sam Darnel.
- 26:19Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 26:21Speaker 2: It is great though, because all these Seahawks people, I
- 26:23Speaker 2: get it. He played Donald plays for Seattle. So you're
- 26:25Speaker 2: gonna defend your guy like they they're they're saying the
- 26:28Speaker 2: same stuff the Minnesota Vikings said last year. Everything, that's
- 26:32Speaker 2: our guy. We got we love Sam, we support Sam.
- 26:36Speaker 2: He's our guy. And he just killed their season in Minnesota.
- 26:40Speaker 2: He's gonna do the same thing as Seattle. It's so good,
- 26:43Speaker 2: It is so great. These morons they're oh, no, no,
- 26:47Speaker 2: I don't anybody that criticizes Sam Darnald. I mean, my god,
- 26:50Speaker 2: he's beyond criticism. What are you talking about. I'm like, okay,
- 26:53Speaker 2: all right, let's go the phones and we'll say hello,
- 26:55Speaker 2: eenie meenie miney Moe. Let's start out with Tommy, who's

- 27:05Speaker 2: Actually, oh from Atlanta. All right, Well, Coop thinks Orlando
- 27:08Speaker 2: and Atlanta are very similar. What's going on, Tommy?
- 27:12Speaker 11: I mean, you got to go through Orlanta to get
- 27:14Speaker 11: to Atlanta.
- 27:14Speaker 1: I guess, I don't know, depends what directions you're going.
- 27:17Speaker 11: I guess, yeah, I guess, I guess.
- 27:19Speaker 8: So.
- 27:20Speaker 11: Yeah, while I called in a few times back in
- 27:23Speaker 11: the day for Sports Jeopardy, and we met at the
- 27:25Speaker 11: meet and greet down to South Carolina, so I just
- 27:28Speaker 11: thought that, say, hey.
- 27:29Speaker 2: Well, thank you, thank you, Tommy. I'm glad to know
- 27:32Speaker 2: you're you're there. We had a great time at the
- 27:33Speaker 2: meet and greet. Are you you Are you working because
- 27:36Speaker 2: you told me you were not allowed to call in
- 27:38Speaker 2: because your boss had a camera on you at all times?
- 27:41Speaker 11: That is true. Well, I was on the Dreaded day
- 27:43Speaker 11: Ship for a while, so I was catching a podcast.
- 27:45Speaker 11: But I'm on the I guess you call it the
- 27:48Speaker 11: Dreaded p and the Dreaded second shift, so I can
- 27:50Speaker 11: catch your show on the way home.

- 27:56Speaker 1: thank you appreciate that.
- 27:58Speaker 11: Yeah, awesome, Then I appreciate I appreciate the shout out
- 28:02Speaker 11: when you're talking about my suck back Falcons last week.
- 28:04Speaker 11: I didn't think we could get any worse, but uh yeah,
- 28:08Speaker 11: and there you go.
- 28:10Speaker 2: Very impressive, the very impressure. We left Bryce Young to
- 28:13Speaker 2: almost have five hundred yards passing. I didn't think that
- 28:15Speaker 2: was possible unless he went back to college. But all
- 28:17Speaker 2: you have to do is play the Atlanta's.
- 28:19Speaker 11: Funny how we have we make mediocre quarterbacks look like
- 28:22Speaker 11: Joe Montana.
- 28:23Speaker 12: It's funny, you know.
- 28:24Speaker 1: No, that was more than Joe Montana.
- 28:25Speaker 2: That was Dan Marino or Peyton Manning or someone along
- 28:29Speaker 2: the Drew Brees.
- 28:30Speaker 1: That was ridiculous.
- 28:32Speaker 4: So yeah, well you.
- 28:33Speaker 11: Should pray that your Rams get to play my Falcons
- 28:35Speaker 11: every week.
- 28:35Speaker 2: Let me tell you, well, no, we're happy because the
- 28:37Speaker 2: Rams have the Falcons draft picks.
- 28:39Speaker 1: So there there you go. That's yeah, you're welcome for that.
- 28:43Speaker 12: By the way, that's a.
- 28:44Speaker 2: Top ten pick. But tremendous job by Arthur Blank. I
- 28:47Speaker 2: bet you have Raheem Morris really wooed, really wooed Arthur
- 28:50Speaker 2: Blank to hire him he chose No. Listen, I'm not
- 28:52Speaker 2: saying Belichick would have been any better, but at least
- 28:54Speaker 2: it's a better name.
- 28:55Speaker 1: You had Belichick who wanted the job.
- 28:57Speaker 2: You hired Raheem Morris money thinking like, why would you
- 29:01Speaker 2: even bother doing that?
- 29:03Speaker 11: I've throwing my hands up, just just like you. I
- 29:07Speaker 11: don't understand.
- 29:08Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, be safe Tommy, thank you sir.
- 29:10Speaker 2: All right, there's a great Tommy from Atlanta there, long
- 29:12Speaker 2: time supporter. Met him at the meet and greet we
- 29:14Speaker 2: did in Charleston a while back, and that was great.
- 29:18Speaker 2: So it's nice that he's still engage.
- 29:20Speaker 1: Just want to go to Charleston, Charlie. Should you love Charleston.
- 29:23Speaker 1: It's a good little time, a little flapper address.
- 29:26Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's a lot of history there in Charleston,
- 29:28Speaker 2: South Carolin.
- 29:29Speaker 1: Go to Danny, a lot of history where he is
- 29:31Speaker 1: too in the Boston area. What's going on? America's favorite
- 29:33Speaker 1: trash man, the great Danny?
- 29:34Speaker 5: To me?
- 29:34Speaker 1: Now, what's going on? Danny?
- 29:36Speaker 8: Mister?
- 29:36Speaker 12: Now, what's going on? A couple of things about this
- 29:39Speaker 12: great league? I want to talk to you about. Number one,
- 29:42Speaker 12: how of the Chicago Biz seven and three? They must
- 29:47Speaker 12: be the worst seven to three team of all time.
- 29:49Speaker 12: I can't believe that. But quarterback is suspect. The de
- 29:52Speaker 12: sense is terrible. That's gonna bottom out eventually.
- 29:55Speaker 1: I would think, Well, they haven't. I don't unless I'm wrong.
- 29:59Speaker 2: I don't think they've beaten a playoff team, right, they have?
- 30:03Speaker 1: No, they have the seven wins.
- 30:06Speaker 2: They beat the Cowboys, Raiders, Commanders, Saints, Bengals, Giants, Vikings.
- 30:12Speaker 1: That's not one.
- 30:14Speaker 2: One playoff team they played lost they like they played
- 30:16Speaker 2: the Lions. They lost by thirty points. Uh yeah, And
- 30:20Speaker 2: they lost the Ravens, who will likely be a playoff
- 30:22Speaker 2: team by the time this is all done, so they'll
- 30:24Speaker 2: be in the playoffs. And they lost by two touchdowns
- 30:25Speaker 2: to the Baltimore.
- 30:26Speaker 12: So yes, that's they've They've beaten a bunch of garbage
- 30:30Speaker 12: out there. No point attendant and uh the uh Sam
- 30:34Speaker 12: Vam Donald does it again? You already talked about it.
- 30:37Speaker 12: Four picks a big game and he get sits with
- 30:39Speaker 12: his all time. You know I had money on him.
- 30:42Speaker 12: I took him on the money line. I took the
- 30:44Speaker 12: three points, so I pushed on that, thank god, which
- 30:48Speaker 12: I put a lot of money on him. So I
- 30:50Speaker 12: broke even and I have to say the Kansas City
- 30:54Speaker 12: Chiefs are no longer a great team.
- 30:57Speaker 8: Man.
- 30:57Speaker 12: I don't know if you agree with that. Mahomes, I
- 31:00Speaker 12: don't know what's calling him. He's uh, he's throwing picks
- 31:03Speaker 12: at the wrong time of the games, he's taking sacks.
- 31:05Speaker 12: And all I keep hearing about is the receivers a
- 31:08Speaker 12: great uh RASI Rice is not a number one.
- 31:11Speaker 2: Well they didn't know he dropped, but I want to
- 31:13Speaker 2: talk about that because he dropped a pass in the
- 31:15Speaker 2: first half and then they stopped throwing him the ball
- 31:17Speaker 2: in the second half, which is fine if you have
- 31:19Speaker 2: other great playmakers.
- 31:21Speaker 1: The Chiefs don't. We'll get to that later.
- 31:23Speaker 2: But if you had the Seahawks mining or plus three,
- 31:26Speaker 2: you won the bet because they lost by two.
- 31:28Speaker 1: So unless you bet the money line, then you then
- 31:30Speaker 1: you lost.
- 31:31Speaker 12: Yeah. Well I took the money line. Then I took
- 31:34Speaker 12: the plus three.
- 31:35Speaker 1: You doubled You doubled up on that game. Really, I
- 31:39Speaker 1: took the ah.
- 31:40Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, and it came you know, as you know,
- 31:45Speaker 12: I thought minus had a real shot at the end there,
- 31:48Speaker 12: you know, but.
- 31:49Speaker 1: It's a sixty sixty something yard field goal. Come on, yeah,
- 31:53Speaker 1: I know it in doors, right, and it's a fake.
- 31:56Speaker 1: It's a fake indoor thing.
- 31:58Speaker 2: There's a roof on it, but the sides are open,
- 32:01Speaker 2: so it's kind of like a fake indoor thing.
- 32:03Speaker 12: But it's over there the nice weather. And now one
- 32:06Speaker 12: more thing. Somebody tell Dan and man Campbell and it's
- 32:10Speaker 12: okay to chicks three points. It's okay, No.
- 32:14Speaker 1: No, you can't.
- 32:15Speaker 2: He was given he was given Carl Blanche, he was
- 32:17Speaker 2: given the leeway to go for it on fourth down,
- 32:19Speaker 2: so he's gonna go for it. Some Poindexter told him
- 32:22Speaker 2: to go for it on fourth down. He said, okay,
- 32:24Speaker 2: I'll go for it on fourth down, and there he
- 32:26Speaker 2: did every single time.
- 32:27Speaker 1: Fourth down. Fourth down is so ridiculous.
- 32:30Speaker 12: Playing a video game.
- 32:32Speaker 2: Well yeah, well listen, this is this is it. I mean,
- 32:36Speaker 2: the Lions, it's not gonna last much longer. They're gonna
- 32:38Speaker 2: be in this window where they can win a super
- 32:40Speaker 2: Bowl and they're blowing it. Then they blew it the
- 32:42Speaker 2: last the last couple of years, lost to Washington home.
- 32:45Speaker 2: That's not a great Commander's team. You lost at home.
- 32:47Speaker 2: And then that game against the forty nine ers in
- 32:50Speaker 2: the NFC Championship game, and they did the same nonsense,
- 32:54Speaker 2: kept going forward on fourth down, as I remember in
- 32:56Speaker 2: that NFC Championship game.
- 32:58Speaker 12: So yes, and that's gonna happen again for probably two
- 33:00Speaker 12: when they get in there.
- 33:03Speaker 2: Oh, thank you Da the great day doubling off on
- 33:05Speaker 2: the Seahawks. There, that's what he he said, So Mark
- 33:10Speaker 2: and Queen's Mark from Queen's right, since says Big Ben.
- 33:13Speaker 2: Was Sam Donald seeing ghosts today? He was seeing a
- 33:16Speaker 2: lot of rams, a lot of ram logo stuff. Yeah,
- 33:21Speaker 2: Kathy in Madison rights, since she says, say Benny Jed,
- 33:25Speaker 2: I heard from half Pint two days ago.
- 33:27Speaker 1: She found her dog. She's doing well.
- 33:30Speaker 2: Remember Half Pint if you're a long time listening to
- 33:31Speaker 2: the show. There was a couple way before Lorena was here.
- 33:35Speaker 2: We had beer drinking Brian and Half Pint quite the couple,
- 33:39Speaker 2: really rock stars in the state of Missouri. And they're
- 33:42Speaker 2: the ones that would drive their tractor trailer down to
- 33:44Speaker 2: the walmart to get some some snacks.
- 33:46Speaker 1: Oh cool, Yes, living the full redneck life. Oh I
- 33:50Speaker 1: found some drops by them. Did Okay, let's see what
- 33:52Speaker 1: we got here. He tried to get it.
- 33:58Speaker 12: A rod of the room.
- 34:00Speaker 1: This half Pint right there, quite the cartoon character. Oh
- 34:03Speaker 1: here was one.
- 34:03Speaker 11: Singing yeah, no one in.
- 34:15Speaker 1: And and Okay, that's scary.
- 34:24Speaker 2: That's scary stuff thereh shaneon the moy writes and says,
- 34:27Speaker 2: your take on the Sunday Night game a spot on.
- 34:30Speaker 2: You take your take on Sam Donner was prisoner of
- 34:32Speaker 2: the moment. He says, uh, love you bet? Hey, didn't
- 34:37Speaker 2: we have a bet? Shane and the moyn where's my hat?
- 34:39Speaker 2: I thought we had a bet. No, we don't have
- 34:40Speaker 2: I thought we had a bet. I guess apparently not.
- 34:43Speaker 2: We don't have a bet.
- 34:43Speaker 1: You always have a bet until they lose. Yeah, when
- 34:46Speaker 1: they lose, these guys disappear. I have noticed that when
- 34:48Speaker 1: we make bet that sounds familiar. Yeah, you've done that too.
- 34:52Speaker 1: That's right, you know about that?
- 34:53Speaker 2: Eileen writes in from San Francisco, says, hey, plus on
- 34:57Speaker 2: the openly monologue piling on the Lions with their own
- 35:00Speaker 2: sound bites, with your whole crew wing and loved it. Well,
- 35:04Speaker 2: we just played off the sound that we got.
- 35:06Speaker 1: That's all we had.
- 35:07Speaker 2: King Roy says the Lions might play themselves out of
- 35:09Speaker 2: the playoffs, but you.
- 35:11Speaker 1: Know who would be in the Green Bay Packers.
- 35:15Speaker 2: He says, the pack is back with outstanding performances by
- 35:18Speaker 2: Jordan Love, Michael Parsons and the rest of the team.
- 35:21Speaker 2: The rest of the NFC better watch out. Yeah, he
- 35:26Speaker 2: beat the Giants. That's where that's how low the green
- 35:28Speaker 2: Bay Packers are. Where you beat the Giants who are
- 35:32Speaker 2: now two and nine on the season, and it's time
- 35:35Speaker 2: to sell upbrate good times. Let's go to Neil. I
- 35:38Speaker 2: think this is can't close the deal, Neil?
- 35:40Speaker 1: What's going on?
- 35:41Speaker 4: Neil?
- 35:41Speaker 1: Welcome in Indian.
- 35:45Speaker 8: Talk to you.
- 35:45Speaker 1: Hello, do you how's everything?
- 35:48Speaker 8: Hey, everything's going good. Hey. I talked to you about
- 35:50Speaker 8: a month ago, and you talked to my son Corby.
- 35:52Speaker 2: I remember Met Corbyn was a rock star. Yeah, you
- 35:55Speaker 2: guys were on vacation in Florida.
- 35:58Speaker 8: You have no idea how happy you and I showed
- 36:00Speaker 8: the call to my whole family and my dad loved it.
- 36:03Speaker 8: Everybody was so thrilled with it.
- 36:05Speaker 1: You're such You're such a good your kid, your your son.
- 36:08Speaker 2: There quite the firecracker and no uh, no concern, no
- 36:12Speaker 2: stage right, none of that stuff.
- 36:14Speaker 1: He was just letting it rip. Was great. Yeah.
- 36:17Speaker 8: Yeah, I've been listening to the show for like eleven
- 36:20Speaker 8: years now, man, I love it. I listen to it
- 36:22Speaker 8: every day you got, you got the best. I know
- 36:25Speaker 8: best is as good as all the rest, but I
- 36:26Speaker 8: mean you're you're better than all that.
- 36:28Speaker 1: Well, thank you, Martin. I appreciate it.
- 36:29Speaker 2: I think it's been longer than eleven years, Neil. I
- 36:31Speaker 2: think we're going. I think we're pushing past that. I
- 36:33Speaker 2: think we've we've reached out.
- 36:35Speaker 5: I think the time is at well, yeah, I just
- 36:38Speaker 5: want to ask you about this, Uh, this Lions game.
- 36:41Speaker 5: So the Lions Jamison Williams, he like he like hugged
- 36:44Speaker 5: the goalpost or something.
- 36:46Speaker 8: You marry, you got to access the celebration telling it
- 36:48Speaker 8: cost him a point. Pretty pretty big play. But uh,
- 36:52Speaker 8: I feel like I feel like it's kind of the
- 36:54Speaker 8: double stand there, because sometimes they're allowed to celebrate and
- 36:56Speaker 8: sometimes they're not. What do you think about that? I mean, yeah, well, yeah.
- 37:01Speaker 2: He was called for an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty and then
- 37:04Speaker 2: the kicker you could still you could still make the kick,
- 37:07Speaker 2: but he didn't make.
- 37:08Speaker 1: The kick and then obviously turned out to be the
- 37:11Speaker 1: difference in the game. Yeah, I don't I don't like it.
- 37:12Speaker 2: But it's like this fine line, like I think I
- 37:15Speaker 2: would only find guys I've talked about this in the
- 37:17Speaker 2: past when that guys celebrate a sack when they're down
- 37:20Speaker 2: by thirty points. I think that's ridiculous, like that kind
- 37:22Speaker 2: of stuff. But it's like these guys, it's it is sporadic,
- 37:25Speaker 2: and it depends on the officiating crew Neil too. As
- 37:28Speaker 2: you know, like some some of the crews will be
- 37:30Speaker 2: more I can't use the word I want to use,
- 37:33Speaker 2: there'll be more uptight, shall we say there'll be more uptight.
- 37:36Speaker 8: Well, Well, in the Arizona Cardinal game, the Cardinals tight
- 37:39Speaker 8: end caught a pass and sniffed his fingers and moved
- 37:43Speaker 8: for a first down, and they called it for a penalty.
- 37:45Speaker 2: Too well because he had not washed his fingers. That's
- 37:48Speaker 2: why he had not. Yeah, it's a problem.
- 37:52Speaker 8: So yeah, I feel like there's a big double standard
- 37:54Speaker 8: because sometimes they're all celebrating down there in the end zone,
- 37:57Speaker 8: but that doesn't get called.
- 37:58Speaker 1: So what's the Yeah, they.
- 37:59Speaker 2: Allow him to celebrate as a team in the end
- 38:02Speaker 2: zone and all that stuff. But uh, yeah, And I
- 38:04Speaker 2: think Williams he's had some issues in the past where
- 38:08Speaker 2: he's gotten in trouble. He did remember with the I
- 38:11Speaker 2: think it was a playoff game against the commanders. What
- 38:13Speaker 2: he did what would be deemed an extra Remember he
- 38:16Speaker 2: started humping the ground. I think he was the guy
- 38:19Speaker 2: you remember that. Yeah, it was very awkward. I think
- 38:23Speaker 2: almost positive that he was the guy that did that.
- 38:25Speaker 5: Well.
- 38:26Speaker 8: Well, hey man, I kind of wanted to be immortalized
- 38:28Speaker 8: on your show, and I had some kind of little
- 38:30Speaker 8: thing prepared where I was gonna do a little thing
- 38:33Speaker 8: for your show. Do you care if I do it
