  Speaker 1: Hey guys, welcome to the Daily Play with Joy Taylor.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Thanks so much for joining me.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Make sure you hit subscribe and follow us on social
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: at the Daily Play Joy Taylor. So the Texas Longhorns
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: beat Ohio State on Saturday in a huge win for
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: the program. Aside from the weird situation where head coach
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: Steve Sarkeesian ran off on his post-game interview with Holly Rowe,
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: Texas was number one in the polls and Archie Manning
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: was number one in the hearts of college football fans
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: after leading that incredible fourth quarter comeback.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: On Monday, he was asked if he watched any fan-edited
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: clips from the Longhorns' comeback win on social media. If
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: you haven't seen the clip yet, here's what he said
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: while smiling. I've seen a few AI edits of stuff,
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: but that's about it. I saw an AI edit of
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Sark's interview, Manning said, laughing. Have y'all seen that one?
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: That's a good one of him slapping Holly Rowe. It's hilarious.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: So obviously that did not sit well on social media.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: And he said this at a press conference. And needless
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: to say, the reaction got back to him and someone
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: got to him and had the 22-year-old quarterback call Holly Rowe.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: And then he issued his statements apologizing on social media.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: He said, at my press conference yesterday, I made an
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: insensitive comment about an AI video. There's nothing funny about it.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: It's easy to say I didn't mean it, but I
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: know my words and actions were hurtful for lots of people.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: I do not take that lightly and I'm deeply sorry
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: for that. I specifically want to apologize to Holly Rowe
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: for what she has personally had to.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Deal with because of my comments.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: I have a ton of respect for her and appreciate
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: her showing me grace in this moment. I need to
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: do better and will be more thoughtful going forward. Rowe
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: said that she and Manning have discussed his comment and
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: she accepted his apology.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: He said, thank you, Arsh. I appreciate your conversation about this,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: which will remain private. Apology accepted. We will move forward
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: with respect and kindness for one another.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Now, There's a lot that we can be outraged about
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: these days because there's a lot of terrible things happening.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: And if you're like.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Me and your algorithm is mostly just all of the
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: horrible things that are happening around the world and all
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: the horrible things that people are saying and doing to
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: each other, it can feel a bit overwhelming. And then
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: in some cases, it might feel trivial that a 22
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: year old kid is making a joke about an AI video.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Of course, if you want to look a bit macro,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: there's a lot that can be discussed when it comes
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: to this comment and why he would feel comfortable making
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: it in a space like that where he is in
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: front of a microphone and in front of reporters, why
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: reporters would think that's funny. And why social media backlash
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: would need to happen for people to understand how wrong
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: it is to make a joke about an AI video
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: of a woman being slapped.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Now add in that this is Holly Rowe.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: An incredibly respected reporter who was already disrespected by the
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: head coach. And now you're adding in an AI video
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: of violence against women. And that is the specific video
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: that he felt the need to bring up and make
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: a joke about. I don't think that anything that you do... Well,
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: let me not say that. You should not be defined
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: by your worst moment in most cases. There are obviously
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: exceptions to that. I don't think that... He needs to
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: be crucified for this. However, I do think this is
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: a good learning moment, not just about being media savvy,
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: which he most certainly is.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: His last name is Manning.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: He has been in the spotlight for quite some time,
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: and I'm sure he's had plenty of conversations with people
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: within that program and even before that about how important
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: the words are that he uses and chooses and how
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: that reflects on the program, how it reflects on him,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: how it reflects on his family.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: He's not new here. So he's not a child. He's
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: 22 years old. That's more than.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: more than old enough to know that you are in
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: a situation where you need to not be relaxed when
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: you're sitting in front of the media.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: I think the.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: Bigger conversation is it just becomes exhausting to constantly have
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: to point out how wrong things like that are. And,
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: you know, you have the guys who are like, you know,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: it's a joke.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Nobody can take a joke. Okay. But when we turn
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: the joke.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: Around and, And it's someone that you care about or
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: it's your life that's being made fun of or your
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: life that's being threatened or your well-being that's in danger,
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: which obviously is not on scale going to happen.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: So that you can.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: Feel the empathy needed to understand why it's beyond not
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: a good look to have the face of the University
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: of Texas making jokes about fake videos where women are
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: being slapped. And not just any woman, the woman who
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: is there on the sidelines covering your game.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Now, do I think he's learned his lesson? Yeah, I do.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: I think Holly probably gave him a very.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Serious talking to, and it's good that Holly gave him
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: some grace. However, that grace is only extended based off
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: of your future behavior because I'm a little bit different.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: I think we all deserve some grace, right? We all
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: make mistakes. I've made mistakes. We've all done things that
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: we would like to take back, that we regret, that
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: have hurt people, that, you know, in the moment we
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: thought we were being funny or we were getting some
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: attention and, you know, it was a mistake. And listen,
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Young people and college students, I give more grace for
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: because I was an idiot when I was 22 years old. Now,
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: I wasn't media trained, the face of an organization, coming
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: from a legacy football family of quarterbacks. You know, the
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: circumstances are certainly different. And all of that nuance does
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: need to be included in this. As somebody who has
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: survived domestic violence, I'm obviously very hypersensitive to these things.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: And I understand how these tiny little cuts lead to
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: deeper societal problems. So I'm not going to say that
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: Arch Manning is responsible for the domestic violence epidemic in
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: this country because he's making a joke about slapping a woman.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: That would be a ridiculous statement.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: I am going to say that him making a joke
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: about a fake video slapping Holly Roe is a symptom
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: of the epidemic. is a symptom of the normalized behavior
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: surrounding violence against women, surrounding discrimination against women in sports,
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: in the workplace, so on and so forth. So I
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: do hope that he understands the gravity of what saying
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: something like this, particularly in the setting in which he
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: said it. This wasn't him drunk being recorded in privacy
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: of his home. This was him in front of a
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: press conference where you're supposed to be absolutely at your
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: absolute best. It's important to know what is actually funny.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: And if you're not a.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: Comedian, it's probably best to not make jokes. People aren't
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: paying you to be cheeky, be entertaining. Probably should stay
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: out of the joke department. So I hope you learned
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: this lesson. And I do think it is something that
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: is serious enough to have warranted an apology, to have warranted.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Making that phone call.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: And I hope that the program as a whole tightens
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: up because it's one thing to be the villains, but
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: that stuff turns around real quick. And that grace only
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: gets you so far. So really unfortunate story, but let's
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: get into.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: Some actual football.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: Week one, uh, 2026 tied 20, 2012 as the highest
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: scoring weekend in the Superbowl era. It was my biggest
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: takeaway from this weekend was just how potent the offenses are.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: Usually at the start of the season, the defenses are
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: ahead of the offenses, not the case. Um, fans that,
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: of teams that I want to know are acting like
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: Super Bowl is next in line. But I do want
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: to check in on some of the major injuries that
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: we have already seen. Some of this will pertain to
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: you when it comes to gambling or some of your
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: fantasy teams. And also just, you know, as football fans,
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: we are missing some pretty big names very early. And
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: I do think a lot of these are going to
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: have a really big influence on some of the teams
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: that we thought were going to be and still do
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: think are going to be in the Super Bowl conversation.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: So Myles Garrett, obviously this move was.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: a huge move this off season, but he is heading
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: to IR to undergo a knee scope. So at least
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: four weeks, which is crazy. So the Rams are hoping
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: to get Aaron Donald on the field against the Giants
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: on Monday night in LA. Now that is obviously incredibly
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: significant because a big part of why the Rams were
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: considered to be a lock for the Superbowl this year
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: is because of their incredibly potent defense, which will be
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: missing this, one of their defensive player of the years
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: in miles Garrett and their main off season acquisition. So
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: not the situation that they wanted to start the season with,
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: with miles Garrett.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: Now, Sam Darnold. This is a huge story.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: Because he is dealing with a unique soft tissue injury
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: in his glute. It's considered a short-term injury, but it
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: could be up to four weeks that he is out.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: He suffered this very early in the Seahawks' week one
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: win over the Patriots. So if he misses, which he
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: likely will, on Sunday against the Cardinals, Drew Locke would
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: be in line to be the starter.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: He was 16 of 22 for 187 yards and a touchdown.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: In relief of Darnold.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: For the 13-10 win over the Patriots in week one.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: This is significant.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: When you are talking about a backup quarterback, they are
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: generally backups for a reason, and the expectation that he
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: will be able to hold this ship straight is for
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: more than four weeks, I think is unrealistic. I know
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: they're a good organization and they have a lot of
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: good talents and a lot of good leadership. But look,
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: the Cardinals stunned the Chargers on Sunday. And this is
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: no longer one of those Those matchups on the schedule
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: that you can guarantee you're going to win, especially when
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: your starting quarterback is not available. So I think that's
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: a very, very significant injury for a team that obviously.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: Just won the Super Bowl. A.J.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: Brown, also massive offseason addition, went down in the loss
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: of Seattle. He is on IR with a high ankle sprain.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: He will miss reportedly about six weeks. Horrible news, not
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: just for A.J. Brown, but also obviously for the Patriots.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: This is a very significant loss. And for a team
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: that was trying to recover from a Super Bowl loss,
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: bolster their offense with a really strong veteran, this is devastating.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: A high ankle sprain is tough. I hate it for A.J.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: And yeah, I mean, essentially, he probably won't get back
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: to where he needs to be until about midseason, which
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: is awful. Some other players to watch on the injury front,
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: Zay Flowers. He's day-to-day with a hamstring injury. They're already
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: light at receiver, and he's their number one guy. The
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: Eagles move guard Landon Dickerson to IR, bone bruise to
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: his right knee, and the Cowboys have injuries to their
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: defensive starters.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Overshawn and Bland.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: Overshawn will be out a week or two with hamstring
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: injury and injury. Deron Bland is doubtful with a forearm fracture.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: And then finally, Raiders star tight end Brock Bowers is
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: also listed day-to-day. So a lot of injuries to some
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: big stars to start the season, which is obviously very disappointing.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: We hate injuries. And, you know, in general, they're not.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: updates that i would normally do but i do think
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: that the star power that a lot of these teams
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: that we think are you know capable of competing for
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: a championship might not be able to be active until
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: mid-season so how are these teams going to fare without
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: them and do we see you know some teams that
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: we weren't expected to be in the race uh rise
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: up simply because they're healthy the chiefs rolled the broncos
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: on monday night football i talked about it yesterday patrick
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: holmes doesn't think he played very well of course he
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: ran for a touchdown and threw for a touchdown the
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: first half 14-7 lead at half after halftime seven of
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: nine for 122 yards in the second half he said
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: i didn't play my best we were still able to
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: go out there and beat a really good team the
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: guy stepped up around me specifically kenneth walker um.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: I disagree with patrick.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: Holmes i mean i think He's going to be his
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: own biggest critic. But I think the defense in this
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: situation was great. And I think that the Chiefs are
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: looking like themselves again. And everyone should be afraid of that.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: I love dynasties. I love what they bring to the table.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: I love what they provide for us from a media standpoint, selfishly.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: They give us things to talk about. They give you
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: someone to root against. And in this case, I still
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: think that Patrick Mahomes is the big dog. I think
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: he is still the best and they are a team
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: that is going to be a problem this year. And
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: I think that's what we learned from Monday Night Football. Look,
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: the Broncos are a team that we're expecting to compete
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: in the postseason and compete for a Super Bowl. We
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: didn't know what Patrick Mahomes was going to look like.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: We didn't know what Travis Kelsey was going to look
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: like or what this Chiefs team was going to look like, honestly.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: Kenneth Walker coming out there and having that game is incredible,
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: incredible news for the Chiefs and terrible news for the
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: rest of that division. The Broncos, who have obviously lost,
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: the Chargers, who have lost, the Raiders, who got a
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: win against the Dolphins, but they're not going to be,
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: I think, making a lot of noise this year. They're
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: in a transition year into Fernando Mendoza. So yeah, like
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: Chiefs very well, once again, could have home field advantage
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: in the postseason if they continue to play this way,
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: which I believe that they will because they are a dynasty.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: And people always talk about how they hate dynasties, and
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: I get it. But the truth is, the leagues are
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: better with dynasties.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: They just are.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: And I, for one, even though I am not rooting
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: for the Chiefs, I'm not a Chiefs fan, I should say,
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: I love that they are back. I love that they
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: looked this way, and I love that they are striking
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: fear around the league because it just makes for a
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: better league, in my opinion. So even though Patrick Mahomes
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: is saying that he didn't look his best, Well, when
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: he does start getting to look his best, everyone should
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: be looking out. So I am excited about it. Thanks
