- 0:43SPEAKER_05: We live for the post.
- 0:47SPEAKER_03: What's up, fellas?
- 0:49SPEAKER_03: All right, good to see you.
- 0:53SPEAKER_01: Let's go.
- 0:54SPEAKER_03: Let's go.
- 0:55SPEAKER_03: Man, Jay, you gotta share with this man on the top of the hour.
- 0:58SPEAKER_01: What would what was it like at Soldier Field?
- 1:01SPEAKER_01: Man, we lose the game.
- 1:03SPEAKER_01: I know you there.
- 1:03SPEAKER_01: You tailgated, started about 6 a.m.
- 1:06SPEAKER_01: Had a phone, probably.
- 1:08SPEAKER_02: It was uh you know, you know, it was funny because we actually thought that it was gonna rain throughout the tailgate, but it was dry and we had a nice tailgate, everything was good.
- 1:19SPEAKER_02: 11:35, we started walking to the stadium and the rain started coming down, and it rained the entire time.
- 1:29SPEAKER_02: Wow, it rained the entire game, and you know, outside of the Bears not playing well, neither one of the teams was playing well, and uh, so you know, we out there in the rain, and it's just like okay, this is a snooze fest, and then I can admit at halftime I went to the bathroom, my poncho got caught on the bathroom door.
- 1:54SPEAKER_02: You ripped it, and I ripped my poncho.
- 1:57SPEAKER_02: So I had to sit, I had to sit the entire second half uh with no ponto with my hoodie over my head, I drenched, drenched just just to be out there in that rain.
- 2:08SPEAKER_02: And and when Caleb got hurt in the fourth quarter, as we were getting excited because the bears was coming back at the time, and we getting excited, then he went down with the hamstring injury, and of course, silence went over the entire stadium.
- 2:23SPEAKER_02: You could have heard a pin drop in Soldier Field, and everybody looking around each other.
- 2:28SPEAKER_02: And the first thing I said, I was like, ooh, that looked like an Achilles.
- 2:31SPEAKER_02: That was the first thing I said, and when I hear the news around it when it happened, I heard a lot of people, even you know, you know, on ESPN on the score, they was like, the first thing I thought it was an Achilles because the way he went down, it was like had he stayed on his feet, he probably would have scored.
- 2:52SPEAKER_02: But the way he went down, it was so awkward looking.
- 2:55SPEAKER_02: And I'm like, ooh, that's an Achilles, this is not gonna be good.
- 2:59SPEAKER_02: So when they helped him off the field, we standing around, we looking because we own the bears' sideline, so now we stand around looking down at the sideline, like okay, who's warming up, who doing this, who doing this?
- 3:10SPEAKER_02: But overall, the game, the game was it was a bad game.
- 3:16SPEAKER_02: It was a bad game for our offense, it was a bad game for our special teams.
- 3:21SPEAKER_02: I can't say if our defense played well because of the conditions.
- 3:26SPEAKER_02: Uh Carson Wentz played a pretty decent game.
- 3:31SPEAKER_02: Uh, but our defense did step up, you know, in the beginning of the game.
- 3:37SPEAKER_02: Uh they had the long pass to Justin Jefferson.
- 3:40SPEAKER_02: We like, okay, is this gonna be what it's gonna look like for the rest of the game?
- 3:43SPEAKER_02: But for the most part, our defense they actually played pretty well.
- 3:47SPEAKER_02: Um, but it was uh the I mean nine nine to three uh snooze fest based on what we saw the week before.
- 3:57SPEAKER_04: Jay, if okay, first of all, uh with you going out there and losing your poncho.
- 4:02SPEAKER_04: The good thing about it is you don't get more wet, you just get wet.
- 4:06SPEAKER_04: You just get wet, you just get wet, you just get wet.
- 4:09SPEAKER_04: So once you wet, you just sit in there, you you deal with it, and you don't worry about it one way or the other.
- 4:14SPEAKER_04: Absolutely.
- 4:15SPEAKER_04: The interesting thing is when we were watching the game on Sunday, and I saw the replays of of Caleb Williams run and do all of that.
- 4:24SPEAKER_04: When I looked at the replays, I said, I don't, it doesn't look like he's hurt because I couldn't differentiate what action caused him to immediately stop.
- 4:34SPEAKER_04: It just kind of looked like he tripped over his own foot or he tripped over the other guy's foot.
- 4:40SPEAKER_04: So I was, you know, I kept replaying that, you know.
- 4:42SPEAKER_04: Every as Bears fans, every time we see things like that, we're replaying it over and over and over, and we see it in our head.
- 4:49SPEAKER_04: And I couldn't differentiate exactly when he was hurt.
- 4:53SPEAKER_04: So, you know, I didn't think it was necessarily his knee because I'm looking at uh the knee, it didn't look like it did any strange bending or anything like that.
- 5:01SPEAKER_04: So the next thing I went to is maybe it's his calf, maybe it's his hamstring, because it's harder to determine that.
- 5:07SPEAKER_04: Uh, to come out and find out that he has a grade one uh hamstring injury, that's the best news we could have got out of that circumstance.
- 5:16SPEAKER_04: But the other part of that is uh there's been a whole lot of conversation in the NFL about you know, he shouldn't have did this, he saw first of all, and I had this argument with people at work on Monday.
- 5:30SPEAKER_04: First of all, this guy took 58 sacks.
- 5:33SPEAKER_02: No, 68.
- 5:34SPEAKER_02: 68.
- 5:36SPEAKER_04: Was it 68?
- 5:37SPEAKER_04: Oh my god, 68.
- 5:38SPEAKER_02: That's even once.
- 5:40SPEAKER_04: Well, so we shouldn't be out there questioning his toughness, whether or not this guy is tough.
- 5:46SPEAKER_04: Second of all, let's talk a little bit about uh, you know, what happened with uh the gentleman that owns uh I forgot his sports team that he owns our sports program out of Boston, and he's talking about Caleb Williams is soft, and you know, he's not uh NFL quarterback.
- 6:05SPEAKER_04: That's the same guy that as soon as Gronk had the same type of injury years ago, in night, I think it was 2015, and Gronk was rolling on the ground and was looking like he couldn't stand and all of that, and they carted him out and brought him out, and he was not seriously hurt the same way.
- 6:25SPEAKER_04: So see, you're talking about Gronk versus Caleb Williams, that's that's kind of crazy.
- 6:30SPEAKER_04: What you got?
- 6:31SPEAKER_04: I'm sorry about that.
- 6:32SPEAKER_02: But but see to me, see, to me, as a mature sports fan, which I consider we we are we mature sports fans.
- 6:45SPEAKER_02: Okay, how can you how can you question how can you question this this kid's toughness?
- 6:54SPEAKER_02: And and guess what?
- 6:57SPEAKER_02: If I own the football team and Caleb Williams, they helped him off the field because first of all, he he in agony because he don't know, like, oh my god, I ain't never been injured before.
- 7:11SPEAKER_02: How can people question that?
- 7:13SPEAKER_02: So if they gonna help him off the field, take him to the tent, and then the doctor decide, hey, I'm gonna roll this cart next to this tent, pull you out, and roll you to the locker room as opposed to you walking to the locker room.
- 7:29SPEAKER_02: Why is that such a big deal?
- 7:32SPEAKER_02: We are protecting our number one asset.
- 7:36SPEAKER_02: So, Plank, if you ain't gotta walk, I'm not gonna let you walk.
- 7:40SPEAKER_02: Bernard, if you ain't gonna walk, if you ain't gotta walk, I'm not gonna let you walk.
- 7:45SPEAKER_02: So, I just think a lot of this stuff just be so blown out of proportion by the news media and just immature fans that don't understand the game.
- 7:58SPEAKER_02: This ain't 1983-84 with John Lway limping off the field with his ankle dangling.
- 8:06SPEAKER_02: Right, this ain't that era.
- 8:07SPEAKER_02: This is a new era, and until people, everything that I heard about Caleb Williams when they was talking about oh, he overreacted, I just blow it.
- 8:18SPEAKER_02: It's all just blowing smoke to me.
- 8:22SPEAKER_01: Yeah, so what you know what?
- 8:23SPEAKER_01: Uh great, yeah, great, great point.
- 8:26SPEAKER_01: Uh you know what?
- 8:28SPEAKER_01: Um, Jackson Dart actually walked off the field on his own.
- 8:33SPEAKER_01: Did that make him less injured?
- 8:35SPEAKER_01: No, he actually done for the season.
- 8:37SPEAKER_01: Nope.
- 8:38SPEAKER_01: And to me.
- 8:45SPEAKER_04: Did he fright?
- 8:46SPEAKER_04: Did he freeze?
- 8:47SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 8:48SPEAKER_02: You froze, but not okay.
- 8:51SPEAKER_04: He's talking about Jackson Dart uh of the New York Giants and the issue that happened with him.
- 8:57SPEAKER_04: Uh, Jackson Dart was another of the quarterbacks that actually took an injury on that day.
- 9:03SPEAKER_04: So this was not just Caleb Williams.
- 9:05SPEAKER_04: There are people who will say right now.
- 9:08SPEAKER_04: I'm sorry, you back, Bernard?
- 9:10SPEAKER_04: You had froze for us.
- 9:11SPEAKER_04: Oh, yeah, yeah.
- 9:12SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I was trying to talk to you I know I yeah, I know I was spinning, so I didn't know if you can hear me.
- 9:17SPEAKER_01: There's there was also there's also people right now who will argue that Jay Colour was not hurt in that game, and you know, that playoff game years ago.
- 9:26SPEAKER_01: They it's still people playing.
- 9:27SPEAKER_01: That they're still arguing Jay Colour with uh Jay Colour was tough as nail, it's just perception.
- 9:32SPEAKER_01: If they like man, you are you're a competitor.
- 9:36SPEAKER_01: If they don't like you, then you'll you don't care, you'll solve right anything that happened, right?
- 9:43SPEAKER_01: You you don't care enough.
- 9:45SPEAKER_02: But see, I'm gonna tell y'all something.
- 9:47SPEAKER_02: This is why I hate to say stuff like this because I don't want people to feel like I think I know everything, and I and people don't know nothing, but they had a comparison.
- 10:01SPEAKER_02: Jaden Daniels dislocated his elbow again, and they had a clip where he dislocated his elbow, I believe it was on the fourth down, and all of his teammates was walking off the field, right?
- 10:22SPEAKER_02: And next to that clip, there was a clip of Jackson Dart injury, and all his teammates was running to the field to see if he was okay, and they was like, see, Jackson Dirt teammates care a lot more about him than Jaden Daniels teammates care.
- 10:43SPEAKER_02: This is what we're doing.
- 10:46SPEAKER_02: These are the comparisons that we're making in the NFL in 2026.
- 10:53SPEAKER_02: Jackson Dark's teammates don't care no more about him than Jaden Daniels' teammates care about him.
- 11:00SPEAKER_02: Now, because it was on a fourth down, and it's a change of possession, which people don't realize.
- 11:06SPEAKER_02: It's a change of possession.
- 11:09SPEAKER_02: So now the team that the the commanders are playing are shuffling onto the field on a fourth down, their players are going off.
- 11:19SPEAKER_02: You got the trainers coming on to see about the quarterback, but you want to make the comparison that his teammates don't care because Jackson Dark teammates came out to support.
- 11:31SPEAKER_02: It's just it's it's just nuts.
- 11:33SPEAKER_04: Well, I don't know about everybody else, but I've had three major injuries uh through my time competing, whether it was your uh football or karate or what have you.
- 11:43SPEAKER_04: The first and worse was a concussion.
- 11:46SPEAKER_04: I've had several different concussions, and that's extremely hard to come back for from.
- 11:51SPEAKER_04: And I understand the concussion protocol, and I'm glad they at least have a process to try to help these uh players ramp back up and get over get back on the field so it doesn't actually hurt them.
- 12:02SPEAKER_04: The second, I've had broken bones.
- 12:04SPEAKER_04: I broke my thumb and things like that, and that's hard to come back from.
- 12:08SPEAKER_04: The third is a lower body injury where I, you know, I ended up tearing a calf, tearing the hamstrings or whatever.
- 12:16SPEAKER_04: That is extreme.
- 12:17SPEAKER_04: The first time you go through that, it's extremely hard to be able to tell what's happening.
- 12:23SPEAKER_04: Well, it's not even so much the pain, it's the uncertainty about your next step.
- 12:29SPEAKER_04: Is it going to be worse?
- 12:31SPEAKER_04: And when that actual lower body extremity heals a little bit and you feel better, and you're like, okay, I can run now, you end up tearing it again, and you feel it pop like somebody hits you in the back of the leg with a with a bat.
- 12:44SPEAKER_04: So that's nothing to play with.
- 12:46SPEAKER_04: Uh, the hamstring is you know one of the largest bones in uh the largest muscles in your leg.
- 12:53SPEAKER_04: Your body, yeah.
- 12:54SPEAKER_04: So you don't really want to be playing with that.
- 12:56SPEAKER_04: So for somebody else to talk about how you should react and respond based on the injury, that's at best disingenuous.
- 13:04SPEAKER_04: That's crazy.
- 13:05SPEAKER_04: Can't nobody tell you that.
- 13:06SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it's nonsense, it's absolute nonsense.
- 13:10SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah, it is.
- 13:11SPEAKER_01: Um, you know, to be honest, I mean, I I was making fun of some people who was talking smack, like, get your quarter, get my quarterback name out your mouth.
- 13:21SPEAKER_01: I was like, look, you probably crying because your uh you crying because your fantasy players messed up, you know, right?
- 13:27SPEAKER_01: You'd be saying no, like even think about it.
- 13:30SPEAKER_01: This is what's part of part of some of it too, right?
- 13:32SPEAKER_01: Because you know, gamblers intertwined, and people are sometimes more upset about that, but they're not gonna be honest that man, I lost some fantasy points on that, right?
- 13:42SPEAKER_01: So they try to look maybe they arguing something else, but you know what?
- 13:49SPEAKER_01: You know what, gone to those days where you you're gonna put uh duct tape on injuries, yeah, or take a Tylenol, right?
- 13:58SPEAKER_01: These guys make too much money, yeah.
- 14:01SPEAKER_01: And unfortunately, the the injuries you have more non-contact injuries than any than anything.
- 14:09SPEAKER_01: Uh, I know a couple years ago I was we was doing something on quarterbacks, and I read this stat where most quarterbacks mobile quarter, not just not mobile quarterbacks, but most quarterbacks are either hurt in a pocket.
- 14:23SPEAKER_01: That was the biggest thing.
- 14:24SPEAKER_01: Then the next one was actually non-contact injuries.
- 14:28SPEAKER_01: If you look at this weekend, say you actually had uh Jaden Dadge, we mentioned he goes down on an injury where his his lineman just step on his foot and he doesn't stand his arm out to brace himself and shatters his elbow again.
- 14:46SPEAKER_01: Uh I don't know what was the thing with uh uh neighbors.
- 14:50SPEAKER_01: Uh what did you even hear anything with him?
- 14:52SPEAKER_01: I I saw he caught like he tried to catch a ball, and I can't think was his wrist or something.
- 14:57SPEAKER_01: It looked crazy.
- 14:58SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I couldn't tell.
- 15:00SPEAKER_04: First of all, with with Jalen Daniels, I thought it was horrific for them to keep playing that over and over and over again.
- 15:08SPEAKER_04: If we think about it, back in the in the day when you know Joe Seisman was tackled and everything by Lawrence, uh Lawrence Taylor, and he broke his leg.
- 15:18SPEAKER_04: They had the they had the good sense not to keep show not to show that.
- 15:22SPEAKER_04: I don't know if they showed it more than once, but I've I saw that one time and that was way more than I ever needed to say.
- 15:28SPEAKER_02: So the 86 Super Bowl over and over again.
- 15:32SPEAKER_04: This guy, you know, breaking his uh it looked like he broke his elbow.
- 15:37SPEAKER_04: I mean, that's just an injury I don't ever want to say.
- 15:39SPEAKER_02: Oh the 86 the 86 Super Bowl with Tim Cromroye when he broke his leg.
- 15:46SPEAKER_02: That was brutal.
- 15:48SPEAKER_02: It was brutal.
- 15:50SPEAKER_02: Oh my god, and you saw it in real time, and but they didn't keep showing it over and over.
- 15:56SPEAKER_02: But you know, that's hey, we in 2026, man.
- 16:00SPEAKER_02: You know, people you know, this is what people thrive on.
- 16:03SPEAKER_02: This is what they thrive on, and I just think for for men to question another man's uh NFL or NFL quarterback, an NFL player.
- 16:17SPEAKER_02: I don't care if he's on the practice squad, for you to question his end his injury, it's something wrong with you.
- 16:26SPEAKER_02: That's just my thing.
- 16:27SPEAKER_02: It's something wrong with you.
- 16:28SPEAKER_02: Because, like you said, uh Bernard, you know, when Jay Culler got injured in that in that NFC championship game against against the Green Bay Packers, and people was booing.
- 16:38SPEAKER_02: And and I he wasn't, he wasn't what what are y'all talking about?
- 16:44SPEAKER_01: Yeah, what we're talking about.
- 16:46SPEAKER_01: So he didn't he didn't show enough pain, right?
- 16:50SPEAKER_01: He got uh so that's how you perceive it, right?
- 16:54SPEAKER_01: Because he didn't show pain.
- 16:56SPEAKER_01: Then there was people afterwards saying, See, man, I just saw I saw somewhere he was walking without crutches.
- 17:02SPEAKER_01: See, he then it's like he don't care, right?
- 17:06SPEAKER_01: And then Brian Erlock and I even had to come out and say, Hey, the man was injured, his leg was even shaken, right?
- 17:12SPEAKER_01: But it's still people that will not let that go because it's perception.
- 17:18SPEAKER_01: And I say this the most criticized player, unless it's some kind of villain in the league, everyone, you know, every once in a while you may get like for example, you get like the Shadur signers or something where people vilify.
- 17:29SPEAKER_01: Other than that, the most hated person is the Chicago Bears quarterback, naturally.
- 17:35SPEAKER_01: It don't matter who it is, they hate him, they hate color, they hate it.
- 17:39SPEAKER_01: You know what I'm saying?
- 17:40SPEAKER_01: They just have to have no, it has to be a reason of that.
- 17:43SPEAKER_01: They hated Justin Fields.
- 17:44SPEAKER_01: You would have thought Justin Fields was the first pick that year.
- 17:48SPEAKER_01: He was the 11 pick, but they talked about him like he was the first pick, the first quarterback off the you hardly ever heard anything about Trevor Lawrence.
- 17:55SPEAKER_01: All you hear was Justin Fields, Justin Fields, Justin Fields, Justin Fields, Justin Fields, you know, and from you know, I mean, come on, man.
- 18:03SPEAKER_01: Caleb tough as nail.
- 18:04SPEAKER_02: So but to me, the bottom line is when when you hear chatter like this, to me, and I just go back to how I feel, to me, it it just to me it separates fans from people that have knowledge of the game.
- 18:23SPEAKER_02: Now, y'all can take that however y'all want to take it.
- 18:26SPEAKER_02: But to me, when we hear chatter like this, it's fans versus people that have knowledge of the game.
- 18:34SPEAKER_02: That's all.
- 18:34SPEAKER_04: You got a point.
- 18:36SPEAKER_04: Uh, you know, it's interesting, you know, when you juxtapose the reaction on Jay Cutler versus Caleb Williams.
- 18:44SPEAKER_04: Two Chicago Bears quarterbacks both get injured during the game, and the reaction was inappropriate both ways.
- 18:52SPEAKER_04: One for Jay Cutler, the reaction is oh, he's faking, he's not really hurt, he's not showing pain.
- 18:58SPEAKER_04: He stood on the sidelines, still trying to cheer the rest of his teams, maybe trying to talk to the backup quarterback, give him advice, etc.
- 19:07SPEAKER_04: So he was still riding the bicycle, trying to get his knee.
- 19:10SPEAKER_04: Doing as much as he could at that time.
- 19:12SPEAKER_02: All of that, all of that.
- 19:13SPEAKER_04: Caleb Williams get carded out and all of those things.
- 19:16SPEAKER_04: And you're saying, well, he's soft too.
- 19:18SPEAKER_04: You can't have it both ways.
- 19:20SPEAKER_04: Oh, and I forgot the name of that gentleman.
- 19:22SPEAKER_04: It was Dave Portnoy of uh Bar Steel Sports, who owns this sports uh conglomerate, and he's the guy that's been arguing with Caleb Williams, and a lot of uh a lot of the pundits and other ex-players have come up and made him look like he's kind of uh extremely small.
- 19:41SPEAKER_04: So yeah, that's one good thing from there.
- 19:44SPEAKER_02: An idiot.
- 19:45SPEAKER_02: Yep, but to turn the page, and I would just want to make it real quick, boy.
- 19:56SPEAKER_02: Them packers look bad last night.
- 20:01SPEAKER_02: Oh my god, they look bad, and I you know, you know, a lot of injuries, they got a lot of injuries.
- 20:10SPEAKER_02: The Packers got a lot of injuries, but and y'all like you say, nope, because when we had injuries and we bad, don't nobody feel bad for us, but man, the Packers look the Packers look bad yesterday, they looked bad last night.
- 20:24SPEAKER_02: They looked bad and and for for the Atlanta to get right on the road to get B.
- 20:33SPEAKER_02: John Robinson rolling, and to get Drake London rolling with Michael Phoenix coming back as the quarterback, man.
- 20:41SPEAKER_02: I I had a lot of satisfaction in watching that game last night.
- 20:46SPEAKER_02: And that was the first time Lambeau, that was the first time the Green Bay Packers lost the opener at Lambo in 14 years.
- 20:52SPEAKER_02: That was the opener.
- 20:54SPEAKER_02: And they so they their first two games was on the road, they lost their opener last night, and they go back on the road week four.
- 21:01SPEAKER_02: So like we say, the NFL season comes to quarters, but this first quarter right now, for the Green Bay Packers, it don't look good.
- 21:15SPEAKER_04: Jay, they're they should actually beat them on three.
- 21:18SPEAKER_04: That makes sense.
- 21:19SPEAKER_02: The Jets should have beat them last week.
- 21:21SPEAKER_02: I'm watching that game.
- 21:22SPEAKER_02: I just want to mention that this ain't a Packers show, but I had to go ahead and it's important to mention that you the loss uh to the uh Atlanta Factors last night.
- 21:33SPEAKER_04: As a matter of fact, that made my day, that made my whole weekend.
- 21:37SPEAKER_04: I would rather eat a bowl of water with a fork than cheer for the Green Bay Packers.
- 21:44SPEAKER_04: I can't stand them that much.
- 21:46SPEAKER_04: Uh, you can't hear me.
- 21:49SPEAKER_04: Jay says he can't hear me.
- 21:50SPEAKER_04: Bernard, can you hear me?
- 21:51SPEAKER_01: Okay, yes, I can hear you.
- 21:53SPEAKER_04: Okay, I think something's going on with Jay's stuff.
- 21:55SPEAKER_04: So anytime, you know, my favorite two teams in the NFL.
- 22:00SPEAKER_04: Have always been number one, the Chicago Bears.
- 22:03SPEAKER_04: Number two, whoever is playing the Green Bay Packers.
- 22:07SPEAKER_04: So I'm glad that somebody beat the Green Bay Packers and the Atlanta Falcons made mincemeat out of those dudes.
- 22:14SPEAKER_04: It was wonderful to watch.
- 22:16SPEAKER_04: I wish I could see it again.
- 22:18SPEAKER_04: As a matter of fact, if I got a tape delay, I'm gonna watch it again from the beginning because it was just so enjoyable.
- 22:24unknown: Uh-oh.
- 22:25SPEAKER_00: Hold on.
- 22:27SPEAKER_04: Okay.
- 22:29SPEAKER_01: Yeah, you know what?
- 22:32SPEAKER_01: The Falcons put a beat down on him.
- 22:35SPEAKER_01: Man, you know what?
- 22:36SPEAKER_01: Talking about that game, man.
- 22:38SPEAKER_01: Uh man, they they run it back is so smooth playing.
- 22:45SPEAKER_04: He reminds me of you, but now I'm not trying to stroke your ego.
- 22:50SPEAKER_04: But his balance and the the way he would be able to keep going.
- 22:54SPEAKER_04: I'm like, that's something that you don't see every day.
- 22:57SPEAKER_04: You don't see it very often.
- 22:59SPEAKER_04: But when you see it, you're like, let me just sit back and enjoy it.
- 23:03SPEAKER_04: So for those that don't know, that's I think we have a couple technical issues.
- 23:13SPEAKER_04: Oh, yeah, I can hear you play.
- 23:15SPEAKER_04: Okay.
- 23:15SPEAKER_04: Yeah, yeah.
- 23:16SPEAKER_00: We can you hear me?
- 23:17SPEAKER_04: Uh yes.
- 23:19SPEAKER_00: Oh merry Christmas, everyone.
- 23:21SPEAKER_00: Merry Christmas, everyone.
- 23:23SPEAKER_04: Merry Christmas.
- 23:24SPEAKER_04: That sounds a little early.
- 23:25SPEAKER_04: That sounds like God.
- 23:27SPEAKER_04: Hey, yeah, that guy.
- 23:30SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that's me.
- 23:31SPEAKER_00: That's still I'm still I'm burning.
- 23:33SPEAKER_00: I was I was killing the comment section, man, because I was listening to you guys, man.
- 23:38SPEAKER_00: Unfortunately, the sad part about the state of affairs with the uh what they did to the Green Bay Packers.
- 23:46SPEAKER_00: I put it there, I said the Packers got smoked by a Penix.
- 23:52SPEAKER_00: But B.
- 23:53SPEAKER_00: John Robinson, man, looked like he was on like I like high IQ mode on Madden Man.
- 23:59SPEAKER_00: That dude was oh my god, man, he was like the prototypical running back that game, man.
- 24:05SPEAKER_00: I was in tears.
- 24:06SPEAKER_00: It was wonderful.
- 24:08SPEAKER_04: And they beat him, they beat him up with the running game, so I can't wait another what two and a half weeks until we play the Packers.
- 24:17SPEAKER_04: I think we can do the exact same thing to them, just run up the score on them.
- 24:21SPEAKER_04: So I'm looking forward to them.
- 24:22SPEAKER_00: Of course.
- 24:24SPEAKER_04: Jay, are you back?
- 24:25SPEAKER_04: Can you hear?
- 24:25SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah, I can hear y'all.
- 24:27SPEAKER_01: Oh, okay.
- 24:27SPEAKER_01: Good job.
- 24:28SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 24:29SPEAKER_01: Well, anyway, moving to this game.
- 24:31SPEAKER_01: I've been running around so much.
- 24:33SPEAKER_01: What is with the game being Monday?
- 24:35SPEAKER_01: Is the injury report official today or is it official tomorrow?
- 24:40SPEAKER_04: I thought it was official Sunday uh before the game, the day before the game.
- 24:45SPEAKER_04: So uh I'm not sure you know what who's gonna play or what have you.
- 24:49SPEAKER_04: We we're gonna have to start talking about leaning towards uh case keenum to see what the you know what we think the game looks like with Case.
- 25:00SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that's a convenience.
- 25:02SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that's a done deal.
- 25:02SPEAKER_02: That's a convenience, too.
- 25:06SPEAKER_02: That's a done deal.
- 25:06SPEAKER_02: Case Keenum will be starting their quarterback for the Bears on Monday night.
- 25:10SPEAKER_02: So if anybody, if anybody don't want to get with get with that, then they could they can be like, oh well.
- 25:17SPEAKER_02: But yeah, Case Kenan will be a starting quarterback.
- 25:19SPEAKER_02: And let's just hope the 38-year-old can do something because uh you're gonna have Melan Moss as a backup.
- 25:26SPEAKER_02: And I I ain't gonna say that.
- 25:28SPEAKER_02: I ain't gonna say that because there's a there is a scenario where that Tyson Bezie can actually get uh clear, you know, he can clear concussion protocol and still not start the game, but be the second string quarterback.
- 25:41SPEAKER_02: And of course, you know, Caleb Williams has not been ruled out uh of this game.
- 25:47SPEAKER_04: So yeah, he he hasn't practiced the whole time, though.
- 25:50SPEAKER_04: So I don't I wouldn't like to see him out there next game.
- 25:53SPEAKER_04: Uh myself, I like him to take the week week off and heal up as well as he could.
- 25:58SPEAKER_04: Um Case Keenum, I think this is gonna be a good thing that he's actually playing quarterback for the Bears because he plays the game a little bit different than Caleb Williams does.
- 26:11SPEAKER_04: He's more of an on-time quarterback, he's gonna look for the open, you know, he he goes through his progressions pretty quickly.
- 26:19SPEAKER_04: And here's the other thing that Case Keenum does: Case Keenum throws to the receivers that he has confidence in.
- 26:27SPEAKER_04: He doesn't worry about spreading the ball around and who didn't get the last uh catch or whatever.
- 26:34SPEAKER_04: If he has confidence in uh Lovelin, Loveland's gonna eat.
- 26:39SPEAKER_04: Everybody else might not eat, but you'll see him targeting his favorite guys, the guys he has confidence in, and that's who he's throwing the ball to.
- 26:48SPEAKER_04: So those check downs kind of go out the window a little bit with Case Keenum, but he has a winning record as an NFL quarterback.
- 26:56SPEAKER_04: You cannot uh think that that's a bad thing ever.
- 27:00SPEAKER_02: So second or I mean just to think, you know, it's it's a long, it's been a long time, but y'all know who hold the most yards thrown in college in C double A?
- 27:19SPEAKER_02: Case King.
- 27:20SPEAKER_02: University of Houston, he was he's the all-time passing leader in college.
- 27:25SPEAKER_02: Wow.
- 27:26SPEAKER_02: So it's been, you know, 2023 when he was with Houston was the last time he started a game.
- 27:31SPEAKER_02: I think it was against the Cleveland Browns.
- 27:34SPEAKER_02: Uh, I don't remember what his stats was, but it's it's it's been a few years.
- 27:38SPEAKER_02: But you know, I just think with Van Johnson and a quarterback of his stature, I don't think it's a bad thing.
- 27:48SPEAKER_02: Even when they said Tyson Bez's in uh uh uh uh concussion protocol, I was like, ooh, Case King might get a chance to start this week.
- 27:58SPEAKER_02: So I'm I'm really not I'm really not concerned as far as him running the offense.
- 28:05SPEAKER_02: Uh because as you said, Plank, I think it's one of those things where he he'll he'll be on schedule.
- 28:13SPEAKER_02: You know, you ain't gotta worry the offensive line, does not have to worry about where's Caleb at?
- 28:20SPEAKER_02: Did he scramble?
- 28:21SPEAKER_02: Did he go this way?
- 28:22SPEAKER_02: Did he go that way?
- 28:24SPEAKER_02: So, but I think you know, this is gonna be if we can duplicate, which I know we ain't gonna be able to do it because Vic Fangio right now is licking his chops.
- 28:34SPEAKER_02: If we can duplicate what we did on Black Friday last week, and you know, and have each back run for 100 yards, we can neutralize this team and try to get out of social field with a win.
- 28:47SPEAKER_01: How's Kyle Manonga doing?
- 28:48SPEAKER_01: Because I did see he had uh okay.
- 28:52SPEAKER_01: So yeah, and then the other person I saw uh well, he left the game was uh uh Stevenson.
- 29:00SPEAKER_01: Yeah, Tyreek Tyreek.
- 29:01SPEAKER_01: I think Tyreek is gonna be out this week.
- 29:03SPEAKER_02: I think Tyreek is gonna be out this week.
- 29:05SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I think he's gonna be out this week.
- 29:07SPEAKER_02: So look for uh Malik Muhammad to get his glory.
- 29:11SPEAKER_02: They probably gonna push him outside to the corner, and they're gonna drop Pam Lewis and uh Xavier Woods in the nickels slash uh safety spot, and we and we're gonna roll from there.
- 29:23SPEAKER_02: So um we're gonna be okay.
- 29:27SPEAKER_02: We're gonna be okay.
- 29:28SPEAKER_02: Uh, you know, I'm looking at the Eagles team.
- 29:30SPEAKER_02: It's a different team.
- 29:31SPEAKER_02: No AJ Brown.
- 29:33SPEAKER_02: Uh Dallas Gardett is on the injuries, is is not is is out.
- 29:38SPEAKER_02: He's not even playing.
- 29:39SPEAKER_02: And then you got Landon Dixon, who's not playing.
- 29:42SPEAKER_02: Uh, they had a guard that got injured last week, so they they limping into soldier field, just like we limped out of Hallis Hall to Soldier Field.
- 29:51SPEAKER_02: So it's gonna it's gonna be an interesting matchup.
- 29:54SPEAKER_04: I look at it from a positive and a negative standpoint.
- 29:57SPEAKER_04: From a positive standpoint, I think it's great because the Bears are effectively a running team, they want to run the ball, and you know, that gives us the ability to set the tempo.
- 30:08SPEAKER_04: The negative thing about that is Bradbury is not Dalman, and that really hurts to say.
- 30:17SPEAKER_04: I thought he was a serviceable uh center, he's gonna he's gonna be better because he has to be, and because there's somebody behind him that's kind of pushing him off the field.
- 30:29SPEAKER_04: But as far as I'm concerned, that that showing that he put out there was horrible, man.
- 30:35SPEAKER_02: It was absolutely horrible.
- 30:37SPEAKER_02: Yeah, he had he had three penalties, he had three penalties all last year.
- 30:45SPEAKER_02: Right season.
- 30:46SPEAKER_02: He had three penalties all last season, he had four in one game.
- 30:50SPEAKER_02: It was just a bad game.
- 30:51SPEAKER_02: But but if you look at if you go back and look at last week's game, it was just a bad game all around.
- 31:00SPEAKER_02: I think Ben got caught up in first of all, the season opener, the weather, Brian Flores, who he had to listen, he had to listen to that in his ear the entire game.
- 31:19SPEAKER_02: And then the inclement weather.
- 31:21SPEAKER_02: I just think last week was a bad thing, you know.
- 31:24SPEAKER_02: I hate it for the kid that they cut the long snapper, you know.
- 31:29SPEAKER_02: Somebody gotta be the fall guy, somebody gotta be the fall guy, you know.
- 31:33SPEAKER_02: They cut the long snapper, but I'm actually surprised because they brought back Scott Daly, and I'm like, okay, why did y'all get rid of Scott Daly?
- 31:41SPEAKER_02: So that was that was an interesting thing to me.
- 31:44SPEAKER_02: They was like, the bears bring back long snapper goddamn.
- 31:46SPEAKER_02: I'm like, okay, wait a minute, he wasn't on nobody else's team.
- 31:50SPEAKER_02: I thought he was dead.
- 31:54SPEAKER_02: So so so I I just think I just think last week was an aberration.
- 32:00SPEAKER_02: Uh not saying that the bears are gonna win this week or turn it around, but I just think last week was one of them things where the expectations were so high coming off the 59-point game against Carolina, and then for you to score three points.
- 32:18SPEAKER_02: Everybody's like throw the baby out with the bath water after the Sunday's game.
- 32:21SPEAKER_02: They go, Oh, oh my god, the Bears are terrible.
- 32:25SPEAKER_02: It's it's it's week three, man.
- 32:28SPEAKER_04: I'm worried about the Bears being one of those teams that plays up or plays down to the opponent.
- 32:34SPEAKER_04: So when they played the Panthers, the Panthers got a lot of points too.
- 32:38SPEAKER_04: By the same token, they end up playing against the Vikings, and the Bears couldn't get any points, but the Vikings couldn't get any points either.
- 32:45SPEAKER_04: So they looked just as bad as the team they're playing.
- 32:49SPEAKER_04: I'd rather us establish our identity and go out there with that and see what that takes us.
- 32:54SPEAKER_02: So let's you think about it, you think about the best that scored 59, 66, 62 points in the season.
- 33:02SPEAKER_02: So over two games, they still averaging 31 points.
- 33:05SPEAKER_04: You sound like Stacy King saying me and Michael Jordan scored 50 points, I scored two, and he scored 48.
- 33:15SPEAKER_02: You know what I'm saying?
- 33:16SPEAKER_02: So that's how you look at that, man.
- 33:18SPEAKER_02: You know, it is week two of it's week three coming up of a long NFL season, and you know, which is why, like I say, I try to stay on social media because I just see you know, overreaction and reaction, and I just be like, wow, so y'all just gave up after two weeks.
- 33:35SPEAKER_04: That bandwagon's getting light again, ain't but that's good.
- 33:39SPEAKER_02: That's good because I don't want to buy no new tires, I don't want to buy no new tires, so that's good.
- 33:44SPEAKER_04: Well, I'm moving up to the front seat.
- 33:45SPEAKER_04: I'm glad I got a better seat now that a lot of people that move, so let's do it.
- 33:51SPEAKER_01: Yeah, hey, I would say plank uh Bradbury is serviceable serviceable if he was a manador.
- 34:02SPEAKER_01: Yeah, okay.
- 34:04SPEAKER_01: You know, let them guys in.
- 34:06SPEAKER_01: You know what, but guys like that.
- 34:09SPEAKER_01: If you got some pride, you you go on to do something that whatever it takes this week, he needs to do to prove himself.
- 34:19SPEAKER_01: But you know what?
- 34:20SPEAKER_01: This is why sometimes I would go back and forth about uh PFF grades that sometimes I'd be like, That's a bull.
- 34:28SPEAKER_01: That's why I know we have this thing going back and forth with with uh Mark a lot.
- 34:32SPEAKER_01: It looked like we lost guy for a minute, and Mark will argue about Braxton Jones.
- 34:39SPEAKER_01: This believe me, the coaches are not just going back and forth this thing with Braxton Jones that they actually thought Braxton Jones was good.
- 34:47SPEAKER_01: I don't know how Jackson Jones, even last year, the year before, how some games I would watch and he would have a 70 rating, and you you literally looking at him getting drove back, and I don't know, maybe got friends there or something, and they always grade him well because I see he had like a 75 uh pass pro and somewhere around 75 and maybe 78 and run block.
- 35:15SPEAKER_01: Come on, we was just talking about in that uh post-game plank where you was talking about how bad they were on the left side, even in run game.
- 35:23SPEAKER_04: So yeah, what if you're gonna go?
- 35:28SPEAKER_04: It sounds like they have Braxton Jones on a pitch count.
- 35:32SPEAKER_04: So, you know, he's out there as offensive tackle, and then they ended up spelling him uh, you know, with the with the backup for a percentage.
- 35:40SPEAKER_04: And I'm like, okay, if if he can't hold the position, you need to get a back, you need to get somebody else in there.
- 35:48SPEAKER_04: Uh, offensive linemen are some of the most notorious players of never wanting to get out, uh, get out of the rotation.
- 35:55SPEAKER_04: You know, you see a good law offensive lineman, they're like, I don't care what happens, I'm staying in the game.
- 36:01SPEAKER_04: Because, you know, that's how committed they are.
- 36:04SPEAKER_04: So I'm not sure what he's doing with coming out for plays or whatever.
- 36:08SPEAKER_04: A pitch count with an offensive lineman is not a uh that's not a good thing to be going and looking at.
- 36:14SPEAKER_04: What's up, guy named Guy?
- 36:18SPEAKER_00: What's up, peeps?
- 36:20SPEAKER_00: I was just looking at this thing, man.
- 36:21SPEAKER_00: Some stats, man.
- 36:22SPEAKER_00: Saquon Barkley has 92 yards on 19 carries in two games.
- 36:32SPEAKER_00: 4.8.
- 36:34SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that's about 4.8, if I'm not mistaken.
- 36:38SPEAKER_00: Hopefully we can keep them.
- 36:43SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that'd be nice.
- 36:46SPEAKER_00: But I'm just kind of getting and uh yeah, I'm just getting my bearings here.
- 36:51SPEAKER_00: I just walked in, man.
- 36:52SPEAKER_00: Sorry about that.
- 36:53SPEAKER_00: As you were, gentlemen.
- 36:56SPEAKER_01: No problem.
- 36:57SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it looked like you know, they they've been having us spooling all us food in a little bit here and there, but hey, we're we're we're championing through the internet's connection.
- 37:07SPEAKER_01: Look like Plank only one has a stable connection tonight.
- 37:10SPEAKER_01: Look like Jay is losing, I'm losing mine, this guy losing his.
- 37:15SPEAKER_01: It is an interesting week that they wanted to the third week.
- 37:20SPEAKER_01: You know, I know you mentioned the Panthers.
- 37:22SPEAKER_01: Matter of fact, I just want to work through this real quick, then I uh we could go for two for two pretty uh so I think the Panthers is gonna uh yeah, I think the Panthers is going to be.
- 37:33SPEAKER_01: I think I'll be a pretty good team.
- 37:35SPEAKER_01: I think the Panthers about to uh put a beating on the Browns where the Browns eventually go to Shadow Sanders because difficulties tonight.
- 37:44SPEAKER_01: Oh, did somebody just drop again?
- 37:46SPEAKER_01: It looked like guy talking, but it don't look like he looked he was looking down.
- 37:49SPEAKER_01: He was talking.
- 37:49SPEAKER_01: I think that was Jay.
- 37:50SPEAKER_01: I mean, I mean oh that was Jay.
- 37:54SPEAKER_01: Yeah, Jay Jay's having some he's he come in and he goes back out.
- 37:58SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I think the Panthers.
- 38:00SPEAKER_01: So I I I don't think the Bears, the reason I bring up that game, I don't think the Bears getting that many points on them was a fluke, and them getting that many points on the Bears was a fluke.
- 38:09SPEAKER_01: I think the Panthers are gonna be a pretty good team.
- 38:11SPEAKER_01: They got some big boys at receivers, too.
- 38:13SPEAKER_01: I mean, it was some huge guys.
- 38:16SPEAKER_01: I I think I think all three two, three, three of them are what six, four, six, three, six, six, four, and up, yeah.
- 38:25SPEAKER_04: T T uh Metal Uh McDaniels or uh Tetarola, that dude's six five, easy.
- 38:33SPEAKER_04: Uh 220, 225.
- 38:35SPEAKER_04: So uh he's not a it's not a small guy at all.
- 38:40SPEAKER_02: JK.
- 38:41SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I was having some technical issues.
- 38:43SPEAKER_02: I'm like, okay, what's going on tonight?
- 38:47SPEAKER_02: I can hear you guys now.
- 38:49SPEAKER_02: Okay, good deal.
- 38:51SPEAKER_01: Okay, they put tariffs on our cable.
- 38:55SPEAKER_01: I was trying to find my roll run.
- 38:57SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 38:58SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 38:59SPEAKER_00: Two for two.
- 39:01SPEAKER_00: Two for two.
- 39:02SPEAKER_04: Look at that sexy voice.
- 39:04SPEAKER_04: Go ahead.
- 39:04SPEAKER_04: Oh man, two for two.
- 39:06SPEAKER_02: Two for two.
- 39:08SPEAKER_02: Oh, y'all doing two for two?
- 39:10SPEAKER_02: Two for two.
- 39:11SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 39:11SPEAKER_01: Let's go see two for two.
- 39:13SPEAKER_01: Yeah, let's go for two for two.
- 39:15SPEAKER_02: Oh man.
- 39:17SPEAKER_02: Uh Miami.
- 39:19SPEAKER_02: And it's hard to say because Cleveland won the game.
- 39:26SPEAKER_02: It's gonna be interesting with Cleveland because they're playing their first home game with Deshaun uh Watson at quarterback this week.
- 39:34SPEAKER_02: But um I I guess I'm gonna say Miami and Tennessee are the worst right now.
- 39:43SPEAKER_02: And and then, of course, on on top right now, I gotta go.
- 39:46SPEAKER_02: I gotta go Bills and Chiefs.
- 39:48SPEAKER_01: Okay, Bills and Chiefs.
- 39:50SPEAKER_01: Yeah, okay.
- 39:52SPEAKER_01: I just had mine in front of me and see if I could pull it back up.
- 39:57SPEAKER_01: What you got, guy for two for two?
- 40:00SPEAKER_00: Uh I got Washington, Miami, and I got uh the Bills, and I think I will say Seattle.
- 40:10SPEAKER_02: Okay, even they got a quarterback missing, they still rolling.
- 40:19SPEAKER_02: Hey, right.
- 40:20SPEAKER_04: Well, my bottom two uh gonna be Cleveland and Miami.
- 40:25SPEAKER_04: Everybody got Miami.
- 40:26SPEAKER_04: Jump on that bandwagon because those guys are horrible.
- 40:30SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 40:30SPEAKER_04: Um, until further notice, and Seattle loses, I'm gonna have to go with Seattle as being one of the top teams.
- 40:38SPEAKER_04: Um, they're getting uh Sam Darnold back, and that other dude that's playing for that team, the Kansas City Chiefs.
- 40:49SPEAKER_04: Uh they are now even more scary because they got a running game.
- 40:54SPEAKER_04: And Greg and uh Kelsey, man, that dude looked like a brand new tight end.
- 41:00SPEAKER_04: I haven't seen that dude run and catch like that uh for about five seasons.
- 41:05SPEAKER_04: So they are a very scary team.
- 41:08SPEAKER_02: Because Kendall's buried now.
- 41:10SPEAKER_02: But you know the beauty, but you know the beauty about Travis Kelsey, and this is the thing when you notice when you notice the passing game.
- 41:19SPEAKER_02: Next time y'all watch the Chiefs game and y'all watch uh Travis Kelsey run out for routes, everything he do is improvised.
- 41:28SPEAKER_02: He is like a safety blanket for Patrick Mahomes.
- 41:33SPEAKER_02: So when they call the player in the huddle, he doesn't have a specific route.
- 41:37SPEAKER_02: Every route he runs is a choice route, and because he's a veteran and knows how to sit down in these zones, is it is what makes him so wide open, and he be open and be like, Oh my god, didn't nobody see this guy's wide open?
- 41:55SPEAKER_02: Because he's running choice routes, and this and it just makes Patrick Mahomes look so much better.
- 42:01SPEAKER_04: He's making it up as he goes, man.
- 42:03SPEAKER_04: That's horrible.
- 42:06SPEAKER_00: Y'all don't understand the the intricacy of his routes.
- 42:10SPEAKER_00: If you look over here, he be making letters like a R and a Q and like that Spanish tilde, that little thing up there.
- 42:19SPEAKER_00: But think about this, though, and I know y'all gonna laugh, but think about the relevance.
- 42:24SPEAKER_00: You marry a woman that's worth close to a billion dollars, and you got your own bag.
- 42:28SPEAKER_00: What else you worried about?
- 42:30SPEAKER_03: Nothing, yeah.
- 42:33SPEAKER_03: I gave it a bottom.
- 42:35SPEAKER_04: That you got your name hooked up in, so yeah, but he lost how many.
- 42:39SPEAKER_04: You don't have your own issues, too.
- 42:41SPEAKER_00: So, yeah, but he lost that money, and this is what he did, right?
- 42:44SPEAKER_00: Right, that's it.
- 42:45SPEAKER_00: Well, you got that type of cash, but yeah, it just seemed like he ran his own little routes, but I mean, you're Hall of Famer, so whatever he's doing is working.
- 42:55SPEAKER_02: Like I said, everything he runs is pressing.
- 42:57SPEAKER_01: I got my uh top two and my bottom two.
- 42:59SPEAKER_01: Hey, my top two is KC in Seattle.
- 43:02SPEAKER_01: My bottom two right now, I'm gonna say coats in Houston.
- 43:08SPEAKER_01: Uh, I don't know, man.
- 43:09SPEAKER_01: He coats look like the bottom falling out with them right now, and I'm not saying they're gonna be bad all year, but it's a couple of winless teams, and the coats is surprising one of them.
- 43:20SPEAKER_04: Matter of fact, the charges are winless too.
- 43:23SPEAKER_04: What's again the in the game?
- 43:25SPEAKER_04: The game they played Monday night, they did not look that bad, you know.
- 43:29SPEAKER_01: They were at least competitive, right?
- 43:32SPEAKER_01: Right, but I'm just going with them with the winless team because even the charges, I don't think the charges have won a game yet.
- 43:38SPEAKER_02: Hey, haven't they look hey hey, hey, hey, hey, I'm gonna tell y'all they might wind up being like oh and eight, oh and ten because the charges you look if you look at their first two games were supposed to be the first two games that they win.
- 43:58SPEAKER_02: If you look at their schedule.
- 44:01SPEAKER_02: From week three on to like week 10, you might not see a game.
- 44:06SPEAKER_02: We're like, okay, they're not gonna be favored in this game.
- 44:09SPEAKER_02: They're not gonna be favored in this game.
- 44:11SPEAKER_02: Jim Harbaugh is definitely on the hot seat, but again, shout out to my boy Sean Muhammad.
- 44:19SPEAKER_02: Because me and he'll be talking about stuff.
- 44:21SPEAKER_02: And I'm gonna tell y'all, everybody has propped this kid up on a pedestal.
- 44:31SPEAKER_02: Herbert.
- 44:32SPEAKER_02: Justin Herbert is just a physical specimen playing quarterback.
- 44:40SPEAKER_02: I still don't know.
- 44:41SPEAKER_02: This is another sad thing.
- 44:43SPEAKER_02: What everybody thinks.
- 44:46SPEAKER_02: Read it off, guy.
- 44:47SPEAKER_02: Read off their schedule.
- 44:49SPEAKER_00: They gotta go play the Bills.
- 44:51SPEAKER_00: They gotta play the Bills in Buffalo, and then they gotta go right back over to the other end of the West Coast and go play the Seahawks.
- 45:00SPEAKER_00: Then they come home and play the Broncos, then they go to Kansas City to play the Chiefs, then they go to play the Rams.
- 45:08SPEAKER_00: Oh, is them at home against the Texans on November 8th, and that ain't even a shoe in.
- 45:16SPEAKER_00: That's man.
- 45:18SPEAKER_00: Brutal.
- 45:19SPEAKER_01: See that that's why I got to that's why I got them in my um.
- 45:24SPEAKER_01: I just looked at the schedule and I'm like, I don't know where they're gonna get a win.
- 45:31SPEAKER_02: You know, so so Jim, so Jim Harbaugh not on the hot seat after this, you know.
- 45:39SPEAKER_02: I really don't want to say I really don't know what to say.
- 45:42SPEAKER_02: But but the uh schedule makers didn't do no favors to the to the Los Angeles Chargers with that schedule.
- 45:52SPEAKER_01: Yeah, man.
- 45:53SPEAKER_01: Hey, y'all got a y'all got a game of the week?
- 45:57SPEAKER_02: Oh uh I think my game of the week.
- 46:03SPEAKER_02: I was just looking at this.
- 46:07SPEAKER_03: I'm gonna go with I'm gonna go with the uh teams fan base had a bigger case than movies.
- 46:12SPEAKER_01: Oh, let's say okay.
- 46:13SPEAKER_01: I'm I'm gonna go with the the Pat the uh Patriots and the Jaguars.
- 46:18SPEAKER_01: Uh matter of fact, I'm I'm picking the Jaguars to win that game.
- 46:21SPEAKER_01: I think they're gonna beat the Patriots.
- 46:23SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah.
- 46:25SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 46:25SPEAKER_02: My game of the week is actually uh Denver and the Los Angeles Rams.
- 46:30SPEAKER_02: Denver is playing at home.
- 46:32SPEAKER_02: Denver is playing at home.
- 46:33SPEAKER_02: I want to see, you know, what the Rams can do on the road in Denver.
- 46:38SPEAKER_02: Um, although, albeit they looked pretty good last week.
- 46:42SPEAKER_02: Aaron Donald came back, you know, four tackles, uh, one under uh one pressure.
- 46:48SPEAKER_02: So, you know, he looked good.
- 46:49SPEAKER_02: But I'm interested to see that how they're gonna how how are they gonna respond on the road to a Denver team that's really hasn't played well.
- 47:01SPEAKER_02: Bo Knicks hasn't really played all that well this year, but anytime you go to Denver to play a game, it's it's um it's not an easy feat.
- 47:13SPEAKER_02: So that's my game of the week.
- 47:15SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 47:16SPEAKER_04: My game of the week is Chicago Bears versus Philadelphia Eagles.
- 47:20SPEAKER_04: Yeah, yeah.
- 47:23SPEAKER_04: At the end of the day, I mean, this is still a Chicago Bears home game.
- 47:28SPEAKER_04: Uh, we in our stadium, you know, we've had some success in the past with Philadelphia, even you know, whether we travel to their house or they travel to ours.
- 47:37SPEAKER_04: So this is gonna be a bit of a grudge match, especially if you're thinking about big Fangio coming back.
- 47:43SPEAKER_04: Uh he is not gonna be very happy about that beating that that we gave him last year.
- 47:49SPEAKER_02: That 300 yards, that 300 yards.
- 47:52SPEAKER_04: That was less than a year ago.
- 47:53SPEAKER_04: Yeah, so yeah, you're right.
- 47:57SPEAKER_01: Unfortunately, I I think Case Bit Cannum is gonna be running for his life a lot.
- 48:03SPEAKER_01: And I I have them, the Eagles beating the Bears 18 to 12.
- 48:09unknown: Okay.
- 48:10SPEAKER_04: Okay.
- 48:11SPEAKER_04: I've seen Case Keenan get out there, you know, it's been a couple years, but he's a proficient uh he's a proficient runner.
- 48:18SPEAKER_01: Um he could throw, yeah, he is.
- 48:20SPEAKER_01: Yeah, he is.
- 48:20SPEAKER_04: So he's a whole lot better than people remember him, but oh he is father time has been knocking on his door loudly.
- 48:30SPEAKER_00: So see, you don't have to you don't have to search for him, you know exactly where he is, and that's the thing that makes you and it's no disrespect to him at all.
- 48:40SPEAKER_00: But you as a defensive player plank, what would you rather have a mobile quarterback, a quarterback that can run all over the place, or a dude that's just gonna sit in the pocket?
- 48:49SPEAKER_04: I'd rather have the one that's gonna run all over the place because I get a chance to get a couple licks on him, so yeah.
- 48:56SPEAKER_00: But the mobile guy, they might be calling like three or four consecutive blitz plays and get and call your number.
- 49:02SPEAKER_00: You'd be like, Happy birthday to me.
- 49:05SPEAKER_01: Come on, yes, so hey, that uh this this is gonna be a tough one, man.
- 49:10SPEAKER_01: This this is actually just a game when I looked at the season that I put that L by uh you know, even without with Caleb being in or not being in, this was the L I had put early on of the game that they had, of course.
- 49:25SPEAKER_01: I didn't play a couple of games, and uh so reluctantly, I'm like, man, let me just stay with what I think is gonna happen.
- 49:34SPEAKER_01: Not that I want the bears to lose, it's just I just don't I don't know if they fix those issues right now that they have crazy.
- 49:42SPEAKER_02: This is the get right game.
- 49:44SPEAKER_01: I think the next game becomes a get right game because you go into the uh Green Bay game pissed and being one and two.
- 49:53SPEAKER_02: Well, well, I actually I actually had the Bears actually going three and one after these first four games because we got the Jets next week at home.
- 50:04SPEAKER_02: You know, we got the Jets next week at home.
- 50:06SPEAKER_02: I actually did I actually did pistol this game in as a loss, but I had the first two games as wins.
- 50:14SPEAKER_02: So now that we lost to the Vikings, I feel like this is the good, the get right game to get my three and one, to get my three-and-one Moxie back on the board.
- 50:25SPEAKER_02: So, but but it it's gonna be a tough game.
- 50:28SPEAKER_02: This is definitely gonna be a tough game.
- 50:31SPEAKER_02: And uh if the Bears come out on the losing end of this, I uh I mean uh it wouldn't surprise me.
- 50:36SPEAKER_02: It wouldn't surprise me at all.
- 50:38SPEAKER_04: Well let's keep in mind it's still an anomaly for the home team in NFL to lose a bunch of games, especially back to back to back.
- 50:46SPEAKER_04: So the fact that the bears are home and they do have the opportunity to get three back-to-back uh home games, I think the bears are gonna establish themselves and and come out with a W.
- 50:57SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 50:58SPEAKER_01: Okay, okay.
- 50:59SPEAKER_01: Yeah, man, I would love, man.
- 51:01SPEAKER_01: Look, I love coming from here saying bears win.
- 51:04SPEAKER_01: You know what?
- 51:04SPEAKER_01: And that'd be my that'd be a good birthday present for me because I turned 61 on Monday.
- 51:12SPEAKER_01: So happy birthday, baby boy.
- 51:14SPEAKER_01: You're gonna get your ARP back on my man.
- 51:17SPEAKER_02: Happy born day, yeah.
- 51:20SPEAKER_02: Happy born day.
- 51:21SPEAKER_01: So, you know, that'd be a good gift that day coming with the VC day.
- 51:26SPEAKER_02: Absolutely, absolutely.
- 51:29SPEAKER_01: Hey, uh, so this Christian is doing since there's no game, the band's game, we're so game um Sunday night.
- 51:37SPEAKER_01: It's a game Sunday night, but we we won't be doing the show on Sunday night.
- 51:42SPEAKER_01: So Christian's gonna do the uh two-minute drill on Sunday, and I believe tomorrow Sean will be uh running uh past the poor picks sometime tomorrow for you know for those who need some fantasy tips and you know, leading hands laid on them by him, you know.
- 52:01SPEAKER_01: You know, he put the holy water on their picks, they fantasy picks.
- 52:06SPEAKER_04: Yeah, you had a couple good shows this week already.
- 52:09SPEAKER_04: Good show with uh high school legends with Rod Gray.
- 52:12SPEAKER_04: Absolutely, and Quick had a really good show as well.
- 52:15SPEAKER_04: I watched that, so you know, I'm a fan, I'm gonna sit back and watch any content you put out there.
- 52:21SPEAKER_04: We're doing a good job, but let's keep it up.
- 52:23SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah, man.
- 52:24SPEAKER_01: Excellent show.
- 52:25SPEAKER_01: Both of them were excellent.
- 52:26SPEAKER_01: I mean, the the one with Rod Gray, it was so informative and emotional at the same time.
- 52:34SPEAKER_01: Uh just things he talked about, but I I keep the thing that stood out the most on his interview.
- 52:41SPEAKER_01: Uh, for those who missed it, go look it up.
- 52:43SPEAKER_01: It's a high school uh football legends podcast.
- 52:48SPEAKER_01: It was an interview with um Rod Gray, a semi on prep star from the 1980s.
- 52:55SPEAKER_01: But the thing that stood out to me in his interview was when he said, We don't have to do this alone.
- 53:02SPEAKER_01: And what he was referring to, for those who didn't see it, he was talking about when we go through illnesses that we may be that maybe extended, like we're in hospital, or maybe we need extended care, that he stressed the point that you don't have to do this by yourself.
- 53:17SPEAKER_01: It's nothing to be ashamed about uh people, you know, if you need help or people seeing you in a state where you know, maybe it does it's not that you know, maybe you the guy that always groomed well and you're going through an illness and you're not gonna be groomed well.
- 53:34SPEAKER_01: That's that's irrelevant.
- 53:36SPEAKER_01: That's irrelevant when you're going through a health challenge.
- 53:39SPEAKER_01: And let your, like he just said, let your village help you, man.
- 53:43SPEAKER_01: Because sometimes you even hurt the people who want to help you because they they feel like this is what they've been wanting to do, right?
- 53:51SPEAKER_01: They they're your friend, they're your ride and die, and then when you should get into that position of need, and then you don't want them to see you.
- 54:01SPEAKER_01: I mean, you know, I mean it's different things, different strokes with different folks.
- 54:06SPEAKER_04: You know, I always want my village there.
- 54:08SPEAKER_04: Forget that.
- 54:10SPEAKER_04: Anything happened to me, I expect to see y'all.
- 54:13SPEAKER_00: Well, we need to understand, especially as black men or black people, it's okay to not be okay.
- 54:20SPEAKER_00: You know, yeah, you can't sit around here and be in your feelings.
- 54:24SPEAKER_00: And I'm just gonna say this real quick this year alone, man.
- 54:28SPEAKER_00: Through people like loved ones in my lodge, the lodge brothers, all six people, man.
- 54:33SPEAKER_00: So imagine having to deal with that.
- 54:36SPEAKER_00: So when I wake up in the morning, I got aches and pains and stuff, but I just thank God for allowing me to arise, man.
- 54:42SPEAKER_00: All that other stuff I can deal with, but I'm not too into myself if I'm not feeling well that I'm afraid to say anything to somebody, man.
- 54:52SPEAKER_00: Because sometimes you need some of them people out there to save you from yourself.
- 54:56SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah, I agree.
- 54:58SPEAKER_01: Hey, did y'all have anything else before we close out for tonight?
- 55:03SPEAKER_03: Oh no, what'd you say, guy?
- 55:09SPEAKER_00: I said free Pablo.
- 55:13SPEAKER_00: No, I just want everybody to go through this weekend, man, and just sort of reflect on those levels and just think about things, man, with your help, man.
- 55:21SPEAKER_00: Just look at some of the brothers and sisters out there that you know that's hurting, and don't be afraid for them to feel some type of way for you to say something like that.
- 55:31SPEAKER_00: If you love someone as much, if not more, to yourself, you willing to take that L of getting cussed out or going off because on that other end, when they're feeling better, they'll appreciate you for it.
- 55:44SPEAKER_01: Okay, yeah, great, great point.
- 55:47SPEAKER_01: Hey, we appreciate everybody who tuned in tonight.
- 55:49SPEAKER_01: Make sure you hit the subscribe button.
- 55:52SPEAKER_01: Excuse me a little bit.
- 55:52SPEAKER_01: I know I sound a little hazy tonight, been battling with a lot of mucas and all that stuff, but hey, this is that season, right?
- 56:00SPEAKER_01: Because you're transitioning from warm weather, a lot of rain this summer to this week.
- 56:06SPEAKER_01: I mean, I broke down plank, I switched it over to the heat.
- 56:11SPEAKER_01: You and me both.
- 56:13SPEAKER_01: Yeah, y'all both the day.
- 56:15SPEAKER_01: Okay, I switched it over to the heat, man.
- 56:18SPEAKER_01: I was like, no, I uh I don't work to be in my house cold.
- 56:23SPEAKER_01: There you go.
- 56:24SPEAKER_01: You're gonna pay for it anyway.
- 56:26SPEAKER_01: Exactly.
- 56:26SPEAKER_01: Right, they'll find a way to get you, even if they just raise the rates, they're gonna get the same amount of money from you.
- 56:32SPEAKER_01: Yes, sir.
- 56:33SPEAKER_01: Hey, until next time.
- 56:35SPEAKER_01: Let me get this ready.
- 56:37SPEAKER_01: Peace.
