- 0:26Speaker 2: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio. Oh what is going on?
- 0:30Speaker 2: Happy Friday morning too. You hope all is well? Helpe
- 0:34Speaker 2: Christmas Day was fantastic for you. For over forty years,
- 0:38Speaker 2: ty Iraq has been helping customers find the right tires
- 0:40Speaker 2: for how, what and where they drive, ship fast and
- 0:43Speaker 2: free back by free road hazard protection with convenient installation
- 0:47Speaker 2: options like mobile tire installation ti rack dot com. The
- 0:50Speaker 2: way tire buying should be all right. So I'd love
- 0:54Speaker 2: to be spreading Christmas cheer in these early morning hours,
- 0:59Speaker 2: but uh, man, man, I don't have a dose of
- 1:04Speaker 2: Christmas cheer right now. I've got a dose of reality.
- 1:08Speaker 2: And man, I'm not going to redo the exact same segment,
- 1:13Speaker 2: but I have to touch on bits and pieces of
- 1:16Speaker 2: it again because there's new information. There is new news
- 1:21Speaker 2: new developments if you will. So I had this thought
- 1:26Speaker 2: that Lamar Jackson last game against the Patriots with a
- 1:33Speaker 2: back contusion, a back bruise. Okay, you got to get
- 1:39Speaker 2: back in that game. You got to get back in
- 1:41Speaker 2: the game in the second half. You got to find
- 1:44Speaker 2: a way. You've got a bruise. You're day to day
- 1:46Speaker 2: with a bruise. So the cliffs notes version of that is, look,
- 1:51Speaker 2: if he gets back in that game, it changes everything.
- 1:55Speaker 3: Now.
- 1:55Speaker 2: Granted, they built a lead, they led by eleven points,
- 1:58Speaker 2: even with their backup quarter back Tyler Huntley in there.
- 2:01Speaker 2: Huntley didn't do anything specially. He had nine completions for
- 2:04Speaker 2: sixty five yards. It was like the bow Knicks dink
- 2:07Speaker 2: and dunk, right, it was a dink and dunk special.
- 2:11Speaker 2: But if Lamar Jackson is in there, maybe they build
- 2:14Speaker 2: a bigger lead. Maybe they build the same lead. But
- 2:17Speaker 2: guess what, Lamar Jackson just being in the game, he
- 2:22Speaker 2: affects a defense much differently than Snoop Huntley does. He
- 2:26Speaker 2: is a bigger threat. Even just the mere presence of
- 2:31Speaker 2: threatening the defense affects the defense. And so he's gotta
- 2:36Speaker 2: find a way to get back on the football field.
- 2:38Speaker 2: And he didn't and the Ravens dropped that game, and
- 2:42Speaker 2: now they need help. They don't even control their path
- 2:44Speaker 2: to the playoffs. They need the Steelers to lose to
- 2:49Speaker 2: the Browns this weekend or they are done. And they
- 2:52Speaker 2: also before we even get to Sunday's game with the Steelers,
- 2:56Speaker 2: the Ravens have to win on Saturday. Are there. Season
- 3:00Speaker 2: is a rap? It is over. So it's a gotsa
- 3:04Speaker 2: have it game for the Ravens at the Packers. And
- 3:07Speaker 2: now we get the new information. So okay, day to
- 3:11Speaker 2: day with the bone bruise, a back bruise, Lamar should
- 3:14Speaker 2: be good to go. Well, think again, He's missing practice
- 3:18Speaker 2: left and right this week. He's the only player not
- 3:21Speaker 2: to practice on Wednesday, the only Ravens player not out there.
- 3:26Speaker 2: And the new information is that Lamar is listed as
- 3:31Speaker 2: doubtful for Saturday night's game at Green Bay. If he
- 3:35Speaker 2: can't go, well, it's Tyler Huntley again. Get the Tyler
- 3:39Speaker 2: Huntley Show instead of Lamar Jackson. I don't know what
- 3:45Speaker 2: to say, man, I really don't. Again, I'm not acting
- 3:49Speaker 2: like it feels good, like he's like, ah my back
- 3:52Speaker 2: feels amazing. He took a knee to the back. It's painful.
- 3:56Speaker 2: I get that, but it's a bruise and your season
- 4:02Speaker 2: is hanging by a thread. You have to beat the
- 4:06Speaker 2: Packers or your season is over. Even if you beat
- 4:10Speaker 2: the Packers, you have to have the Steelers beat the
- 4:13Speaker 2: Browns the next day or your season is over. That's
- 4:18Speaker 2: a result of the Ravens not beating the Patriots, and
- 4:23Speaker 2: so for Lamar Jackson to not get back in that game,
- 4:26Speaker 2: that Sunday night game they desperately needed against the Patriots
- 4:30Speaker 2: with a back bruise and now listed as doubtful most
- 4:35Speaker 2: likely not playing against the Packers with a back bruise,
- 4:40Speaker 2: it's indefensible. It just is. There are twenty quarterbacks in
- 4:46Speaker 2: the NFL today that would be playing, no question about it,
- 4:52Speaker 2: with the exact same injury, somewhat similar playing styles. So
- 5:00Speaker 2: I just don't get it, man, I don't get it.
- 5:02Speaker 2: And he's gutted his way through multiple injuries this season.
- 5:05Speaker 2: That's what I don't get. He's gutted through a knee, calf, ankle,
- 5:10Speaker 2: he's had hamstring, He's had a lot of injuries that
- 5:13Speaker 2: he's gutted through. He's not cutting through this one. I
- 5:17Speaker 2: just don't understand it. Now it's not the same injury, okay,
- 5:21Speaker 2: but the concept is the same. I did mention this
- 5:24Speaker 2: a couple of nights ago, but I didn't have the audio.
- 5:27Speaker 2: I went back and got the audio for you. So
- 5:29Speaker 2: this goes back to the two thousand and six season
- 5:33Speaker 2: the Colts. Eventually, you won a Super Bowl that year
- 5:38Speaker 2: and they beat the Bears. But anyway, en route to that,
- 5:42Speaker 2: it was the AFC Championship game. They're hosting the Patriots
- 5:48Speaker 2: and Peyton Manning got banged up. You're hearing the audio.
- 5:52Speaker 2: He's throwing this pass and he hits his thumb on
- 5:56Speaker 2: a Patriots player's helmet. They knew it was in bad shape, right,
- 6:01Speaker 2: and so you'll hear Peyton Manning. There's music underneath this.
- 6:04Speaker 2: It's from America's Game on NFL Network, tremendous show. You'll
- 6:10Speaker 2: hear in the audio Peyton Manning's explaining this injury and
- 6:13Speaker 2: almost very philosophical, almost like poetic, if you will. He's
- 6:18Speaker 2: weighing do I stay in the game and maybe hurt
- 6:21Speaker 2: the team, or do I do I leave and maybe
- 6:23Speaker 2: that's gonna help the team a little bit more. Hey,
- 6:25Speaker 2: Jim Sorgy, warm up, buddy. And that's where Jeff Saturday
- 6:30Speaker 2: the center is like, whoa time out? What's happening, Sorgy? No, No, Peyton,
- 6:36Speaker 2: you gotta suck it up, baby, you gotta find a
- 6:39Speaker 2: way to get back on the football field. That's basically
- 6:41Speaker 2: what's going on here. And so you can understand where
- 6:44Speaker 2: I'm coming from. It ties to Lamar Jackson. Granted we're
- 6:47Speaker 2: talking about a back bruise with Lamar, a thumb injury
- 6:51Speaker 2: with Peyton Manning, but it's Peyton Manning's right thumb on
- 6:56Speaker 2: his throwing hand completely affecting his game. And when he
- 7:02Speaker 2: was thinking about man, maybe I should just I should
- 7:04Speaker 2: let the backup go in there, That's when he gutted
- 7:07Speaker 2: it out and the Colts benefited from that. That's what
- 7:11Speaker 2: has to happen with Lamar as well. Here's the audio
- 7:14Speaker 2: I'm talking about. It starts off with Peyton Manning AFC
- 7:17Speaker 2: Title Game six season against the Patriots. Here it's his
- 7:21Speaker 2: thumb and you got to hear the payoff at the
- 7:23Speaker 2: end with Jeff Saturday. I just love this audio.
- 7:25Speaker 4: Check it out and doing whatever I can to complete
- 7:27Speaker 4: this pass. And I got down the left sideline out
- 7:30Speaker 4: and Pullack come right down the helmet I know right away,
- 7:32Speaker 4: said this is not good. The fingernail had bent back,
- 7:37Speaker 4: so I was, you know, sucking the blood off my
- 7:40Speaker 4: off my hand.
- 7:41Speaker 2: I try to throw a.
- 7:42Speaker 4: Couple on just ugly, ugly looking tastes. I'm asking myself
- 7:49Speaker 4: what's fair to the team. You know what if I
- 7:51Speaker 4: get out there and Reggie Wayne's wide open, I want
- 7:55Speaker 4: to hop it to him because of my thumb. That's
- 7:58Speaker 4: selfish on my part. So I tell Sorgie. I said,
- 8:02Speaker 4: I said, get ready, and.
- 8:04Speaker 2: I was like, wait a minute, hold on, man, we're
- 8:07Speaker 2: in that. We're in the chaps. You game more tied,
- 8:09Speaker 2: and I lived. I was like, brother, you gotta go,
- 8:12Speaker 2: right Like that's the that's the most important part at
- 8:14Speaker 2: the end, Like, brother, you gotta go. You gotta find
- 8:18Speaker 2: a way to suck it up and get out there.
- 8:21Speaker 2: This is football, okay, Like can you somehow some way
- 8:28Speaker 2: get out there? Could other players with the same injury
- 8:33Speaker 2: somehow find a way to get out there? If they can,
- 8:37Speaker 2: then you can, right, Like that's what it comes down to.
- 8:41Speaker 2: Would Josh Allen, the Bills quarterback, be out there with
- 8:44Speaker 2: a back bruise? Hell yes, he would, Like are you
- 8:48Speaker 2: it's not even a question so if other players would
- 8:52Speaker 2: get out there, why is Lamar not getting out there?
- 8:55Speaker 2: He should have been out there against the Patriots last game.
- 8:58Speaker 2: He should be out there the next game against the Packers.
- 9:02Speaker 2: And with him being listed as doubtful, that's exactly what
- 9:06Speaker 2: it means. It almost means out doubtful is the kissing
- 9:08Speaker 2: cousin to out not playing? And it's like, bro, again,
- 9:14Speaker 2: he's day to day. This isn't oh man, We're talking
- 9:18Speaker 2: about six weeks recovery timetable. And he's like, you know,
- 9:22Speaker 2: what the hell with it. I'm just gonna get out
- 9:23Speaker 2: there and gut it out. It's like, whoa, dude, that's radical.
- 9:26Speaker 2: He's day to day and he's doubtful. What the hell?
- 9:32Speaker 5: Man?
- 9:33Speaker 2: Like, I just can't even defend it. TJ Watt. TJ
- 9:37Speaker 2: Watt just had surgery on a partially collapsed lung. He's
- 9:42Speaker 2: practicing this week. He's trying to get out there against
- 9:45Speaker 2: the Browns. Like, does this think about that the division
- 9:48Speaker 2: comes down to the Steelers and the Ravens. You've got
- 9:52Speaker 2: DJ Watt rush end right, partially collapsed lung, just had surgery.
- 10:00Speaker 2: He's practicing, He's on course to be playing this Sunday.
- 10:05Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson day to day with the bruise, missed the
- 10:10Speaker 2: second half against the Patriots, doubtful against the Packers. What
- 10:14Speaker 2: the hell? I don't even know what to say about that.
- 10:17Speaker 2: By the way, on a lighter note, how about that
- 10:20Speaker 2: vampire Peyton Manning just sucking his own dumb blood? How
- 10:23Speaker 2: about that? Okayon vent the nail back of he gotta
- 10:29Speaker 2: you know, yeah, gotta do some maintenance over here. But yeah,
- 10:33Speaker 2: by the way, shout out I don't want to be
- 10:36Speaker 2: too negative, but shout out to Cape Cod paper boy.
- 10:39Speaker 2: He came up with the right names, right. I couldn't
- 10:41Speaker 2: think off the top of my head. Our girl Andrea
- 10:44Speaker 2: and Berkeley her cats. So she had Diva, d e Va.
- 10:48Speaker 2: She did mention that I remember that, and Dove. I
- 10:52Speaker 2: forgot Dove. How dare I forget Dove? How could I
- 10:55Speaker 2: forget a cat named Dove? You know, it's not good,
- 10:59Speaker 2: not good. Gotta step it up in the memory department.
- 11:03Speaker 2: Many other things happened on Christmas Day. One thing that
- 11:07Speaker 2: I haven't mentioned at all. I want to get to
- 11:10Speaker 2: right around the corner, the last occurrence. You know, you
- 11:16Speaker 2: had the last dance with the Chicago bulls right the documentary.
- 11:19Speaker 2: Outstanding job they did with that one, except for you know,
- 11:23Speaker 2: let me digress for a second. I was let me
- 11:27Speaker 2: combine two things on the fly. I was just talking
- 11:31Speaker 2: about Maleik Neighbors, Giants wide receiver, and so he's doing
- 11:37Speaker 2: this I Hop commercial and he's making fun of himself. Right,
- 11:42Speaker 2: he got hurt early in the season, and so the
- 11:46Speaker 2: joke is that he lost some people their fantasy football leagues. Right,
- 11:52Speaker 2: that's the joke. And so the tie in with I
- 11:54Speaker 2: Hop is some bets that are paid off. You got
- 11:57Speaker 2: to stay in ie hop or waffle house for twenty
- 12:00Speaker 2: four hours, can't leave, And so they came up with
- 12:03Speaker 2: this bottomless pancakes thing at ihop. So it's a promotion
- 12:07Speaker 2: for that, and in turn, Molik Neighbors is making fun
- 12:10Speaker 2: of himself for being hurt most of the season, and
- 12:14Speaker 2: I think that's great. Like a lot of people are like, whoa, whoa. Oh.
- 12:17Speaker 2: I don't want to be associated with that. It's negative.
- 12:19Speaker 2: It makes me look bad, like, oh, Malik Neighbors, you
- 12:23Speaker 2: made me lose my fantasy league. Like no one wants
- 12:25Speaker 2: to be known like that. But Malik Neighbors was like,
- 12:28Speaker 2: it's funny. It's not that bad. It's harmless. But the
- 12:31Speaker 2: point is when I mentioned the last Dance, the only
- 12:34Speaker 2: thing about the Last Dance that was lame is that
- 12:38Speaker 2: Michael Jordan had full control over that thing and he
- 12:41Speaker 2: wasn't going to let hardly anything out that made him
- 12:46Speaker 2: look bad, you know. So it's sort of like, how
- 12:49Speaker 2: could I paint myself in the best life light piece?
- 12:53Speaker 2: You know at ten part this is Michael Jordan in
- 12:56Speaker 2: the NBA, and Wow, what a superstar and wow this
- 12:59Speaker 2: and wow that. And I want the documentary that is
- 13:03Speaker 2: like the Maleik Neighbor's IHOP commercial where Malik Neighbors is
- 13:08Speaker 2: making fun of himself. He's casting himself in a unfavorable light,
- 13:15Speaker 2: if you will. He's drawing attention to the fact he
- 13:19Speaker 2: was hurt most of the year and he was the
- 13:23Speaker 2: reason that some people lost their Fantasy League, right like that.
- 13:27Speaker 2: I think it's respectable, it's being real, But I want
- 13:30Speaker 2: the documentary where someone has full control and they tell
- 13:35Speaker 2: stories that make that person look bad. They're like, yeah,
- 13:40Speaker 2: oh yeah, let let that story be known of the
- 13:43Speaker 2: time where I did something wrong, the time where I
- 13:46Speaker 2: made a terrible choice. Let's go in great detail about
- 13:49Speaker 2: that instead of Oh wow, what a superstar and look
- 13:52Speaker 2: at him glide through the air and wow, like everybody
- 13:55Speaker 2: wanted his autograph in it. Instead of that, how about
- 13:58Speaker 2: the real stuff? How about the man I gambled millions
- 14:01Speaker 2: of dollars away? Man that that one night in Vegas?
- 14:05Speaker 2: What a disaster? What the hell was I thinking? Here
- 14:07Speaker 2: are all the details of that. That's what I want.
- 14:10Speaker 2: I want that documentary. I want the Malik Neighbors ihop
- 14:14Speaker 2: commercial as the next Netflix doc That's what I want.
- 14:18Speaker 2: I want the real thing. I want an athlete with
- 14:21Speaker 2: full control over what gets out, what's publicized, and they're
- 14:26Speaker 2: just like, here's the real here's everything that went on.
- 14:29Speaker 2: Whether it makes me look good, whether it makes me
- 14:31Speaker 2: look like the biggest idiot on the face of the earth,
- 14:35Speaker 2: that's what I want. I want someone with full control
- 14:37Speaker 2: that just gives you the whole story. I might be
- 14:40Speaker 2: waiting for quite a while, but that's exactly what I want.
- 14:43Speaker 2: But the Malik Neighbors thing, it gives me hope, gives
- 14:46Speaker 2: me hope that someone out there might be real enough
- 14:48Speaker 2: to be like, here's the whole story, and a lot
- 14:51Speaker 2: of it doesn't make me look good. I want to
- 14:54Speaker 2: see that. I want to see that coming up in
- 14:56Speaker 2: the not too distant future. Okay, eight seven seven ninety
- 14:59Speaker 2: nine on Fox, I do see a regular is poking
- 15:04Speaker 2: around the corner right here. We'll get to uh the
- 15:06Speaker 2: militia coming up next. And also, man, there was a
- 15:14Speaker 2: probable goodbye the last installment, the last dance, if you
- 15:20Speaker 2: will for a brilliant player. We will get to that
- 15:23Speaker 2: right around the corner. I'm Brian no In for Big

- 17:18Speaker 2: player for a long, long, long time. And the way
- 17:23Speaker 2: the Prime Video crew was handling it, they're like, this
- 17:27Speaker 2: could be his final home it's his final home game.
- 17:30Speaker 2: Like's it's just that's what it is. Okay, We're we're
- 17:35Speaker 2: like a week removed. Remember on his podcast, there was
- 17:39Speaker 2: a story where you might have heard the SoundBite where
- 17:41Speaker 2: he's talking to his brother Jason Kelce. He's like, look, man,
- 17:46Speaker 2: I'm just I'm searching for answers and I can't find anything. Right, Like,
- 17:53Speaker 2: he knows he's done. He knows he's not the same
- 17:57Speaker 2: brilliant player he once was. He's lost a couple of steps.
- 18:02Speaker 2: And when a player is as good as Travis Kelsey
- 18:05Speaker 2: has been throughout his career, when he's lost a couple
- 18:08Speaker 2: of steps, he knows it's time. And beyond that, just
- 18:11Speaker 2: look at the freaking guy's life, right, Like he he
- 18:15Speaker 2: jokingly he had a press conference and he handles it great.
- 18:18Speaker 2: You know, he just rolls with the punches very well.
- 18:20Speaker 2: And then he jokingly said during the press conference, He's like, man,
- 18:26Speaker 2: if I could just win Powerball, I wouldn't have to
- 18:29Speaker 2: work again. And it's like, uh, you hit Powerball, And
- 18:34Speaker 2: then some like you're you're engaged to Taylor Swift. Man,
- 18:39Speaker 2: Like that's that's powerball, that's powerball and human form right there?
- 18:42Speaker 2: Are you kidding me? Like he had a Grand Slam,
- 18:46Speaker 2: So yeah, it's time to enjoy life. Man, he's not
- 18:49Speaker 2: the same player he once was. He's older, all those
- 18:54Speaker 2: hits accumulating over many many years. You're engaged to Taylor Swift.
- 19:01Speaker 2: You both combine have more money than you could ever
- 19:04Speaker 2: spend in life. Like, it's just time to enjoy life,
- 19:07Speaker 2: you know, Like that's what's gonna happen. And you could
- 19:10Speaker 2: tell during you know, the game on Christmas Night against
- 19:14Speaker 2: the Broncos, he's just soaking it in. You know, you
- 19:18Speaker 2: could just tell he's he's kind of like enjoying the
- 19:21Speaker 2: anthem a little bit more, kind of looking at the
- 19:23Speaker 2: crowd a little bit more, waving to the crowd. Way
- 19:25Speaker 2: he walks off the field a little bit more, you
- 19:27Speaker 2: know what I mean, Like he knows that he's got
- 19:30Speaker 2: to walk away. He knows it's time. And I get
- 19:33Speaker 2: the competitor and all of us, you'd want one last ride.
- 19:38Speaker 2: You don't want this to be the final season. Think
- 19:41Speaker 2: about the you know, the documentary I was just talking
- 19:43Speaker 2: about the last dance was the nineteen ninety eight season
- 19:47Speaker 2: for the Chicago Bulls. What a way to go out?
- 19:50Speaker 2: You kidding me? You go out winning a sixth championship.
- 19:55Speaker 2: That's the way to go out. That's sensational. That's like
- 19:59Speaker 2: a storybook d going out like six and eleven or
- 20:04Speaker 2: seven and ten, best case scenario. That's not going out
- 20:08Speaker 2: on top. And that's really really difficult for Travis Kelcey,
- 20:12Speaker 2: and I know you start thinking, you know, you give
- 20:14Speaker 2: it a little bit of time. You get into the
- 20:16Speaker 2: off season and your body starts feeling better and you're like, man,
- 20:21Speaker 2: what a story it would be. Mahomes comes back from
- 20:24Speaker 2: the torn acl we come back from a disastrous season,
- 20:28Speaker 2: losing record, and we're the same Chiefs again. We're back
- 20:33Speaker 2: in the super Bowl, we're winning it all. Then I
- 20:36Speaker 2: go out on top. You know, like anybody would love
- 20:40Speaker 2: to think that way, but if you're thinking realistically, it's
- 20:44Speaker 2: like the Chiefs have a lot of work to do
- 20:45Speaker 2: to get back to where they once were, and the
- 20:49Speaker 2: toll on your body and the beating you've taken over
- 20:53Speaker 2: the years and not being the same player. If you're
- 20:56Speaker 2: just honest with yourself, No one wants to be a
- 20:59Speaker 2: lesser version of themselves, like a noticeably lesser version of themselves.
- 21:04Speaker 2: And that's what Travis Kelce is right now. He knows that.
- 21:07Speaker 2: So that was his final home game. Make no mistake
- 21:11Speaker 2: about it. As tempting as it would be to commit
- 21:14Speaker 2: to a full season, that's not going to happen. I
- 21:17Speaker 2: do wonder, I wonder if we're going to see a
- 21:19Speaker 2: little bit more. I thought this would happen with Gronk.
- 21:22Speaker 2: I was wrong, but I was convinced we would see
- 21:25Speaker 2: this with Gronk when he stepped away, when he like
- 21:28Speaker 2: quote unquote retired, I was like, yeah, okay, he'll be
- 21:32Speaker 2: back for the stretch run of the regular season. He'll
- 21:34Speaker 2: be back for a playoff run for sure. And that
- 21:37Speaker 2: never happened. Never happened. Now we are seeing well, I
- 21:42Speaker 2: don't know. We almost saw it with It was the
- 21:46Speaker 2: Lions center Frank rag Now, remember he came out of retirement,
- 21:51Speaker 2: he was going to come back, and then he failed
- 21:54Speaker 2: as physical and he was no longer back. But it
- 21:57Speaker 2: starts to get the wheels right, like, is this going
- 22:02Speaker 2: to become a little bit more normal, not the norm
- 22:06Speaker 2: where it happens left and right, but a little bit
- 22:08Speaker 2: normal where you know a player like Travis Kelcey, instead
- 22:13Speaker 2: of playing the entire season, does he he just comes
- 22:16Speaker 2: back and uh, let's call it week fifteen. We've got
- 22:20Speaker 2: a four week ramp up for the playoffs. Weeks fifteen, sixteen,
- 22:23Speaker 2: seventeen eighteen. Get four games under your belt. You're ready
- 22:27Speaker 2: for a postseason run. Do you start to see that
- 22:30Speaker 2: a little bit more often? Is never gonna become commonplace
- 22:34Speaker 2: where it's just happening left and right and not like that,
- 22:38Speaker 2: But here and there a little more often I could
- 22:40Speaker 2: see it. I don't even think that's gonna happen with
- 22:43Speaker 2: Travis kelce So watch that will happen? You know, I
- 22:46Speaker 2: thought it would definitely happen with Gronk. It didn't happen.
- 22:48Speaker 2: I don't think it'll happen with Travis Kelcey. It will
- 22:51Speaker 2: happen somehow, some way. No, I don't think so. I
- 22:54Speaker 2: think we're the last game for Travis kelce will be
- 22:56Speaker 2: next week. That's my hunch. Hey, but time will tell
- 23:00Speaker 2: if that's correct or not. I'll get to a tweet
- 23:04Speaker 2: that was very eye opening to me. In just a second.
- 23:09Speaker 2: We got the Mala militia here wanting to check in though.
- 23:12Speaker 2: Very nice, and I'll get back to Kelsey. I just
- 23:15Speaker 2: saw look at the look at the crew hard at work.
- 23:17Speaker 2: We've got some Travis Kelcey sound. We'll get to that momentarily. First, though,
- 23:21Speaker 2: we've got my guy Marcel in Brooklyn. He's with us
- 23:24Speaker 2: this morning. What's going on, Marcel? You're on Fox Sports

- 27:32Speaker 5: I just going on in my mind right now. Just

- 28:29Speaker 2: What's going on in these early morning hours.
- 28:31Speaker 3: The first thing you'd see me do with enter of
- 28:33Speaker 3: the ring wearing a new England's Villain shirt out five
- 28:36Speaker 3: and everybody I build their trust. If they turned their backs,
- 28:38Speaker 3: I'd rip the shirt open. I'd have a t Marcel.
- 28:40Speaker 8: Showed on and I sit them on the back with
- 28:42Speaker 8: a chair.
- 28:42Speaker 3: Good for you, Marcel, and I'd be god, god dam
- 28:46Speaker 3: And I didn't. I did say a whole kagans of
- 28:49Speaker 3: speech with Randy or macho man range, savages, tone, you
- 28:53Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. If it didn't make my third week,
- 28:55Speaker 3: that would be very very important. I like the I
- 28:57Speaker 3: like people answering the phones. Tonight. I didn't feel like
- 28:59Speaker 3: there was nobody condescending to me, like, hey, I'm famous.
- 29:01Speaker 3: I'm famous when I was younger, his bow down and
- 29:03Speaker 3: so I would really like that even as a young child.
- 29:06Speaker 3: Mind we all know whenever Mom ties to round us up.
- 29:08Speaker 3: I don't know if y'all had the county fairs, I'll
- 29:09Speaker 3: probably raised you know, urban raising out and the rule raising.
- 29:13Speaker 3: When you get the County fair, mom talks around you
- 29:15Speaker 3: up in the night's over, you throw the biggest ifty
- 29:18Speaker 3: kid you can. Nobody likes to see the end of anything,
- 29:21Speaker 3: but Travis Kelson needs to just get with the get
- 29:24Speaker 3: with the program, because there's there's I mean, I could
- 29:26Speaker 3: be tacky or corny, but like we.
- 29:28Speaker 8: Are never ever ever getting back together. That's him in
- 29:30Speaker 8: the super Bowl Trophy, all right, or about this is
- 29:33Speaker 8: why we can't have nice things like separation from righte
- 29:36Speaker 8: factors would be good. Or you don't know kids, And
- 29:39Speaker 8: that's talking to Patrion Ronalds right now.
- 29:41Speaker 3: That's what I think. That's what I think. And hey,
- 29:42Speaker 3: that's pretty I mean, And dude, I'm in the South.
- 29:44Speaker 8: We'll go, We'll go.
- 29:45Speaker 3: We're going to vessels.
- 29:45Speaker 5: Do there.
- 29:46Speaker 3: You're working for all that corn. That's what we got
- 29:47Speaker 3: to do. We're playing corn now. The last thing, fine,
- 29:49Speaker 3: I appreciate you getting over there. I don't know how
- 29:51Speaker 3: to follow morsels, so I'm just gonna keep trying to
- 29:53Speaker 3: do my best and and em plugging along.
- 29:55Speaker 8: I actually, dude, start on whole tell me vis on
- 30:00Speaker 8: hold it's Christmas.
- 30:01Speaker 3: Dude, tell me glind Scontone hold, I don't.
- 30:04Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think so.
- 30:05Speaker 8: Yeah, Chan calls over the hole on the whole system.
- 30:09Speaker 3: Do never mind. That's a good time, all right. So
- 30:12Speaker 3: I just want to know this. I'm not dissing any
- 30:13Speaker 3: of your coworkers. But I looked the other night when
- 30:16Speaker 3: I saw who was on Vince Splot on the weekends,
- 30:18Speaker 3: and dude, I wrote, very very volge. I had drafts
- 30:22Speaker 3: of very vulgar letters to the Fox Sports radio people,
- 30:25Speaker 3: but I think I saw this. You were you have
- 30:26Speaker 3: to share your airtime with other people doing Bernie Fratto
- 30:28Speaker 3: gets undivided airtime. That is a strange world in my opinion. Dude,
- 30:32Speaker 3: that's very strange world. Would I give Ernie Fratto any airtime?
- 30:36Speaker 5: Brian?
- 30:37Speaker 2: No, they they good. Good to hear from you, Jed.
- 30:42Speaker 2: I do love the line of you know, we can't
- 30:45Speaker 2: have nice things like separation from linebackers. That was a
- 30:49Speaker 2: great line. That was a fantastic line from Jed. Who
- 30:52Speaker 2: fled and I will tell you Bernie's my guy. I
- 30:55Speaker 2: love Bernie. I went to grab some food with Bernie
- 30:59Speaker 2: a couple of times when I was in Vegas. He's
- 31:01Speaker 2: over there in Vegas. Great, dude, great too, very nice
- 31:04Speaker 2: and yeah, we're gonna meet at south Point. We're gonna
- 31:09Speaker 2: grab a well I always eat a blt at this
- 31:11Speaker 2: deli that we've gone to, But the rodeo was in town,
- 31:15Speaker 2: so we had to go to Denny's. There you go,
- 31:17Speaker 2: there's my Bernie Frattos story for you. We went to
- 31:19Speaker 2: Denny's the last time across from south Point because there
- 31:23Speaker 2: was nowhere to park. The rodeo was in town and
- 31:25Speaker 2: there were ten thousand people in, you know, like cowboy hats,
- 31:29Speaker 2: so so Denny's it was absolutely hey. For over forty years,
- 31:35Speaker 2: tire rack has been helping customers find the right tires
- 31:37Speaker 2: for how, what and where they drive, ship fast and free,
- 31:39Speaker 2: backed by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options
- 31:43Speaker 2: like mobile tire installation tire rack dot com The way
- 31:46Speaker 2: tire buying should be. Okay, a tweet that kind of
- 31:50Speaker 2: blew my mind. So this guy, Zane Danini, I get.
- 31:57Speaker 2: I think I'm not trying to be cute. I don't
- 32:00Speaker 2: I not pronounce his name, but he used to be
- 32:02Speaker 2: a stats researcher at ESPN. Anyway, you put together a
- 32:05Speaker 2: brilliant tweet. I love how he put this together. Is
- 32:07Speaker 2: talking about the Denver Broncos. And again, I love my
- 32:10Speaker 2: guy Justin Cooper. Probably good that he's not in this
- 32:12Speaker 2: morning because it's negative towards Broncos and he would probably
- 32:17Speaker 2: just start raging against everybody in his general vicinity after
- 32:21Speaker 2: hearing this. But it's true. The Denver Broncos have almost
- 32:26Speaker 2: lost to the two and thirteen Giants, the two and
- 32:31Speaker 2: thirteen Raiders, the three and twelve Jets, the four and
- 32:36Speaker 2: twelve Commanders, and now the Chris Ola Docan Chiefs. I'm
- 32:43Speaker 2: having a hard time with his name, Ola Docan. They
- 32:46Speaker 2: almost lost to him. At least it was the tie
- 32:48Speaker 2: game late they scored the Broncos scored a touchdown in
- 32:51Speaker 2: the final two minutes, close game, close game. So those
- 32:55Speaker 2: five games the Broncos won by a combined fourteen points
- 33:00Speaker 2: against teams with two wins, two wins, three wins, four wins,
- 33:05Speaker 2: and what the Chiefs have six wins? That's wow.
- 33:09Speaker 1: Man.
- 33:10Speaker 2: Hard to buy the Broncos going forward. I just don't.
- 33:13Speaker 2: But earlier in the show, I told you it's hard
- 33:16Speaker 2: to lock the door on them. They've got a chance
- 33:20Speaker 2: to be the one seed in the AFC playoffs, and
- 33:23Speaker 2: if you have to win two home games to get
- 33:25Speaker 2: to the super Bowl. Hey, man, they at least have
- 33:28Speaker 2: a shot. I don't like them at all, they at
- 33:31Speaker 2: least have a shot. It's a weird world we're living
- 33:34Speaker 2: in this season. If there's any like mediocre team that
- 33:39Speaker 2: has a shot, like a legitimate shot of getting hot
- 33:42Speaker 2: at the right time getting to the super Bowl. Man,
- 33:45Speaker 2: it is this season. You don't have My Homes and
- 33:47Speaker 2: the Chiefs, you don't have some of the usual suspects.
- 33:50Speaker 2: It's wide open. I can't wait for the playoffs. We
- 33:53Speaker 2: do have some Travis kelce audio, the crew hard at work,
- 33:57Speaker 2: the staff hard at work giving you the audio you
- 34:00Speaker 2: need a little bit of Travis Kelsey's thoughts after the game.
- 34:03Speaker 2: Check this out.
- 34:04Speaker 7: I think the integrity of being a man about your
- 34:06Speaker 7: your work and and and giving everybody, uh your you're
- 34:13Speaker 7: devoted attention and you know, your sense of urgency to
- 34:17Speaker 7: to be at your best for them. I think that's
- 34:19Speaker 7: that's just how you need to go about work, whether
- 34:22Speaker 7: or not you're in the race or not, you know,
- 34:24Speaker 7: And I think that's, uh, that's the mentality going into
- 34:26Speaker 7: these last three games is you know, we know what
- 34:29Speaker 7: kind of ends after that New Year's game or the
- 34:32Speaker 7: game right after New Year's in January. And but I'm
- 34:36Speaker 7: gonna make sure these guys know that I'm out there
- 34:38Speaker 7: giving them everything I got.
- 34:40Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's probably the last time Travis Kelsey is
- 34:42Speaker 2: going to be on a football field next week, which
- 34:45Speaker 2: is pretty wild. Man, brilliant career and respectable what he's
- 34:49Speaker 2: saying right there, You know, like you just don't go
- 34:52Speaker 2: through the motions just because we're out of the playoffs
- 34:54Speaker 2: and who cares? And no, man, you're a pro. You
- 34:58Speaker 2: you end given everything that you have and hopefully we
- 35:01Speaker 2: have a final good game and go out on top
- 35:04Speaker 2: as best he can with what turned out to be
- 35:06Speaker 2: a disastrous season and a losing season. But we'll see
- 35:10Speaker 2: how he plays next week. But that's my guess, is
- 35:12Speaker 2: that's it. I just don't think that's a hot take
- 35:14Speaker 2: at all. I think the handwriting's on the wall, not
- 35:17Speaker 2: the player used to be, not the team it used
- 35:20Speaker 2: to be either. And now he has this girl on
- 35:24Speaker 2: his arm named Taylor Swift, So I mean, retirement here
- 35:29Speaker 2: we come. You know, it just couldn't be more clear,
- 35:32Speaker 2: all right? Coming up next, we close the showdown in
- 35:34Speaker 2: style one of the funniest sound bites I heard on
- 35:38Speaker 2: Christmas Day. I'll share that with you. And then also, man,
- 35:42Speaker 2: I get really nervous about an upcoming movie when it's
- 35:47Speaker 2: promoted this way. We'll see if you are with me
- 35:51Speaker 2: on this one. If you think the same way or not,
- 35:53Speaker 2: I'm probably no in for big Ben Malor stay with
- 35:56Speaker 2: us right here on Fox Sports Radio. It is Fox
- 35:59Speaker 2: Sports Radio. I'm probably though in for big Ben Mallor Man.
- 36:04Speaker 2: That's why I love working with Mary Mack. This is
- 36:06Speaker 2: a tradition of ours. The intro music to the final
- 36:11Speaker 2: segment is this song. You tell me this isn't a
- 36:15Speaker 2: great way to end the show. You'd be lying. You're
- 36:19Speaker 2: telling me, fibbs. What's the name of this guy? Again,
- 36:23Speaker 2: Mary Mack, I always forget Josh Turner. Josh Turner. I
- 36:28Speaker 2: swear if I remember Josh Turner, I've broken ground. I
- 36:34Speaker 2: cannot remember Josh Turner for the life of me. I
- 36:39Speaker 2: had to think of a way JT JT Josh Turner.

- 37:00Speaker 2: funnier things I heard on Christmas Day, it was actually
- 37:04Speaker 2: the funniest thing was Jimmy Butler with the Warriors. So
- 37:09Speaker 2: he was being asked about the dust up that Draymond
- 37:13Speaker 2: Green and the head coach Steve Kerr had a couple
- 37:16Speaker 2: of nights ago. They were yelling at each other on
- 37:19Speaker 2: the bench and then Draymond just left, just left the team.
- 37:22Speaker 2: He's like, I'm out of here. Didn't play for the
- 37:24Speaker 2: final twenty minutes and didn't get punished either. But Jimmy
- 37:29Speaker 2: Butler was asked about it. Now I like his answer.
- 37:31Speaker 2: He starts off this way and then we get to
- 37:32Speaker 2: the funny part. So this is the serious part of
- 37:34Speaker 2: his answer. Check it out.
- 37:36Speaker 7: That's just word of the game.
- 37:39Speaker 3: Like, when you've been together for so long, y'all will
- 37:41Speaker 3: have arguments.
- 37:42Speaker 7: And it ain't gonna be it ain't gonna be quiet
- 37:45Speaker 7: all the time. It's okay, You've got two careers competitors
- 37:49Speaker 7: that have won it together and that want to continually win.
- 37:52Speaker 7: We know what it is, and you know, if you're
- 37:54Speaker 7: looking at me, I'm just looking.
- 37:55Speaker 3: Up like, all right, I expect that to happen.
- 37:58Speaker 4: That's okay.
- 37:58Speaker 2: We move over from that. It's understandable. He's like that.
- 38:02Speaker 2: Stuff happens where you know you're not gonna get along
- 38:05Speaker 2: in your marriage every single day. You know, there's in
- 38:09Speaker 2: sports you're gonna yell at each other. There's gonna be
- 38:10Speaker 2: some bad moments. It happens, We move on, we turn
- 38:13Speaker 2: the page. Makes sense. And then he said this, this
- 38:16Speaker 2: is great.
- 38:18Speaker 4: I'm not gonna.
- 38:20Speaker 2: I like the confrontation for him. Yeah, turned them on
- 38:25Speaker 2: a little confrontation like that. I meant to get the
- 38:27Speaker 2: Kirk cousins. You like that because this is the Jimmy
- 38:30Speaker 2: Butler version of that. Yeah, you have a whole conversation
- 38:34Speaker 2: between Kirk and Jimmy like that if you play the
- 38:35Speaker 2: sound bites a certain way. Something else that caught my attention,
- 38:39Speaker 2: So watching the Nightcap on Christmas evening, the uh the
- 38:44Speaker 2: Broncos beating the Chiefs twenty to thirteen in yawning, boring,
- 38:50Speaker 2: lethargic fashion, but getting a win nevertheless gives the backup,
- 38:54Speaker 2: backup quarterback. They're starting to promote the new Madden movie. Yes,
- 39:01Speaker 2: that's right, Nicholas Cage is going to play John Madden.
- 39:06Speaker 2: And this movie comes out, I believe on Thanksgiving Day
- 39:09Speaker 2: next year, right obviously, So they're starting to promote this
- 39:15Speaker 2: thing on Prime video. It's gonna be on Amazon, and
- 39:18Speaker 2: you're gonna have a Christian Bale playing Al Davis. Like
- 39:22Speaker 2: I said, Nicholas Cage playing John Madden. By the way
- 39:26Speaker 2: I saw his is it a crypt I think I
- 39:28Speaker 2: saw his crypt in New Orleans. I was living there
- 39:31Speaker 2: for about three months and you can tour these crypts
- 39:34Speaker 2: and he's got his picked out. He's like, yeah, I'm
- 39:36Speaker 2: gonna be buried here when it's curtains for me. Kind
- 39:38Speaker 2: of weird, right, but it's a New Orleans vibe, no doubt.
- 39:42Speaker 2: But anyway, Nicholas Cage very good actor. I don't know
- 39:45Speaker 2: how it's going to be playing Madden. I don't know
- 39:47Speaker 2: it's gonna work. But I'll tell you what is a
- 39:49Speaker 2: red flag to me. I don't know if you think
- 39:52Speaker 2: the same way or not. They're promoting the new John
- 39:55Speaker 2: Madden movie coming out next year. They're promoting it and
- 39:59Speaker 2: you see the graphics flash and it's like from the
- 40:02Speaker 2: director of American Hustle and Silver Linings Playbook, and then
- 40:06Speaker 2: it's like he's gonna be doing this movie now too.
- 40:10Speaker 2: I don't know about you, but I've noticed, almost without fail,
- 40:16Speaker 2: when they start to promote a new movie, and it's
- 40:19Speaker 2: like the director of such and such, that newest movie
- 40:23Speaker 2: is almost bad every time. I don't know what it is.
- 40:27Speaker 2: It like goes down in quality automatically. It's almost like
- 40:31Speaker 2: you know the subway that like the restaurant that's attached
- 40:35Speaker 2: to the gas station. Automatically the taste is worse. I
- 40:40Speaker 2: don't know how it just I don't know the fumes.
- 40:43Speaker 2: In fact, when you're like the director of American Hustle
- 40:46Speaker 2: and Silver Linings Playbook, I'm not expecting great things from
- 40:49Speaker 2: the Madden movie. And I loved both of those movies.
- 40:52Speaker 2: Some people are just sleeping on American Hustle, very good movie.
- 40:55Speaker 2: Hanging with you, guys, Enjoy the day.
