Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Here's your host, Alex Garrett. All Right, I'm gonna get
- 0:05Speaker 1: to my shake it off SoundBite of the week soon,
- 0:07Speaker 1: but I have to say there was a daily one
- 0:11Speaker 1: leg up award. It would go to two entities today,
- 0:17Speaker 1: the US Senate and the New York Giants. If you
- 0:21Speaker 1: missed it out my social media last night, Alex d
- 0:23Speaker 1: NYC one, I called for the writing of the ship
- 0:27Speaker 1: and look, I actually like meeting it. Brian Dable back
- 0:30Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four, I thought there was a lot
- 0:34Speaker 1: of promise, especially with a new quarterback that they drafted,
- 0:36Speaker 1: and I just thought there was a lot of potential here,
- 0:44Speaker 1: and especially after that long touchdown from Russell to neighbors
- 0:52Speaker 1: in Dallas, I thought this is gonna be a different year.
- 0:55Speaker 2: But it literally has felt like the same script again.
- 0:59Speaker 1: And at two and eight, keep in mind, there's still
- 1:04Speaker 1: a chance for this team to be over five hundred
- 1:07Speaker 1: or at least not again embarrassedly under five hundred. And
- 1:11Speaker 1: I think that's why they did this now, to stop
- 1:15Speaker 1: the wheels from completely falling off. And some are saying
- 1:19Speaker 1: that it's the way Dable was close with Dart and
- 1:22Speaker 1: misused darts playing time and load management that led him
- 1:26Speaker 1: to the concussion tent again and now out with a
- 1:28Speaker 1: concussion where everything fell apart last night with five point
- 1:33Speaker 1: thirty to go in the game against my Dad's Bears.
- 1:38Speaker 2: But I have to give it to ownership. You have
- 1:40Speaker 2: to understand, this is a.
- 1:42Speaker 1: Town that has seen consistently either blowing up teams aka
- 1:49Speaker 1: the Rangers blowing up their team little by little, or
- 1:53Speaker 1: the Jets, who actually got to win yesterday, blowing up
- 1:56Speaker 1: their team by trading away Saw and Quentin Williams just
- 2:04Speaker 1: shy of, you know, trading Breeze Hall. They didn't do that,
- 2:06Speaker 1: and he.
- 2:06Speaker 2: Actually won the game yesterday, so that might have lit
- 2:09Speaker 2: a fire under his ass.
- 2:10Speaker 1: But anyway, anyway, it's a town that we've seen sameness
- 2:16Speaker 1: and same inconsistencies. But what happens finally the entity of
- 2:24Speaker 1: the New York Giants, who are one hundred and one
- 2:27Speaker 1: years old now by the way, one hundred first season
- 2:31Speaker 1: that is, did football one on one and canned a
- 2:35Speaker 1: struggling coach. It's amazing was he was Coach of the
- 2:39Speaker 1: Year with the Giants. He brought us back to the playoffs,
- 2:43Speaker 1: so the first time since the Coafflin era. He was
- 2:46Speaker 1: a ballsy coach at times, but there were a lot
- 2:49Speaker 1: of head scratching decisions as well along the way here.
- 2:55Speaker 1: But the Giants maybe turning the tide for New York Sports,
- 3:00Speaker 1: saying we're.
- 3:00Speaker 2: Not gonna put up with it anymore.
- 3:03Speaker 1: And I know everybody wanted Boon fired, but I think
- 3:05Speaker 1: if that track continues after his contract's done, they will
- 3:10Speaker 1: fire him next year.
- 3:13Speaker 2: Maybe this is the impetus.
- 3:15Speaker 1: For all these other teams too. And of course I
- 3:18Speaker 1: don't know why the Knicks fired Thibs. I still can't
- 3:20Speaker 1: understand that one, but it might be the impetus for
- 3:24Speaker 1: all these teams to straighten up or not or get out,
- 3:30Speaker 1: because now a stake's in the ground by the New
- 3:34Speaker 1: York Giants that says we're not gonna take it anymore.
- 3:39Speaker 2: We know we're better than this. I'm gonna get the
- 3:41Speaker 2: right people in place.
- 3:44Speaker 1: Now. This defensive coordinator who has seen three blown losses
- 3:48Speaker 1: like this, I include the Dallas game still here. I
- 3:52Speaker 1: don't really understand that one, but for now, and Kafka
- 3:57Speaker 1: now becomes the coach after histruggling ways. But now it's
- 4:03Speaker 1: time for these other organizations' other teams to work to
- 4:07Speaker 1: put that product.
- 4:08Speaker 2: On the field anyway possible.
- 4:13Speaker 1: The Giants did this at a moment where they're about
- 4:15Speaker 1: to face the Packers.
- 4:17Speaker 2: They want a better.
- 4:19Speaker 1: Situation for them heading into Sunday. I was telling Ryan
- 4:25Speaker 1: and Lou I said, you know, if the Giants can
- 4:27Speaker 1: reel off well, two and eight, right, so that's ten games,
- 4:31Speaker 1: they can reel off seven wins here and go nine
- 4:35Speaker 1: and eight, it's not impossible it could end.
- 4:41Speaker 2: Up being worthy of a playoff spot. I don't know.
- 4:43Speaker 2: The NFC seems really good this year, but hey, you
- 4:46Speaker 2: never know if you don't try.
- 4:49Speaker 1: And I think the dark concussion clearly has been an issue,
- 4:56Speaker 1: and he has had some wild plays.
- 4:58Speaker 2: As Bruce Beck was noting on the NBC Forges.
- 5:00Speaker 1: Now, so maybe they do need someone to police him
- 5:05Speaker 1: a little bit, because it's amazing he leaves the game
- 5:09Speaker 1: and a concussion protocol and the game falls apart. What
- 5:14Speaker 1: does that tell you about the impact that Jackson Dart
- 5:17Speaker 1: has had. That's why Joe Shane deserves another year. I
- 5:21Speaker 1: know there are those like Pat Lenards as he should
- 5:23Speaker 1: be out too, but Shane's put together a te injuries aside,
- 5:29Speaker 1: they have a team, and then they need that team
- 5:32Speaker 1: to gell a little bit to be healthy.
- 5:34Speaker 2: All the way, we're looking at a dart scat Maleik
- 5:39Speaker 2: season next year.
- 5:41Speaker 1: How exciting is that With the right coaching staff, that
- 5:45Speaker 1: is what I'm looking forward to, as well as seeing
- 5:49Speaker 1: how they can salvage. But the other one leg up
- 5:52Speaker 1: award today, and maybe we should do this a daily thing,
- 5:54Speaker 1: a one leg up award of the day that might
- 5:56Speaker 1: get some traction.
- 5:57Speaker 2: Here Ryan got award of the day.
- 6:01Speaker 1: It's a co ownership today because the giants and then
- 6:04Speaker 1: the US Senate, those eight Democrats, those eight Democrats that
- 6:11Speaker 1: didn't fold.
- 6:12Speaker 2: They just did the right thing and came to the table.
- 6:16Speaker 1: And agreed on a deal to allow military funding, to
- 6:21Speaker 1: allow agricultural funding, and to allow snap benefits.
- 6:24Speaker 2: Through next September. And I think that deal will be
- 6:29Speaker 2: agreed upon no matter what how King Jeffreys.
- 6:31Speaker 1: Has to say, that deal will go through. But those
- 6:37Speaker 1: eight senators and the US Senate unagreeing, deserve the co
- 6:41Speaker 1: one leg Award of the Day because if they didn't
- 6:47Speaker 1: have that bravery, this shutdown would still be going on
- 6:52Speaker 1: into forty plus days. And not to get biblical, but
- 6:59Speaker 1: I you know, forty days and forty nights, and also
- 7:03Speaker 1: Noah's ark. I mean, all these different things you don't
- 7:05Speaker 1: want to go to forty days and maybe, just maybe,
- 7:09Speaker 1: in this period Senate Democrats, the eighth that stood up
- 7:12Speaker 1: for them, for those that need it most, looked inside themselves,
- 7:16Speaker 1: says this is ridiculous.
- 7:18Speaker 2: Why am I going to keep going along the party line?
- 7:21Speaker 2: This is stupid.
- 7:23Speaker 1: And they came to the table, I guess, and one
- 7:30Speaker 1: of them is an independent, but still the basically eight
- 7:34Speaker 1: Democrats came to the table. And so the US Senate
- 7:40Speaker 1: deserves that one leg of award of the day. And
- 7:45Speaker 1: I love that I was able to stand behind that
- 7:46Speaker 1: Senate podium and say how proud I am of that
- 7:50Speaker 1: Senate for coming together, because I said, last night or
- 7:53Speaker 1: early this morning, we've seen Washington dysfunction cause chaos. So
- 7:58Speaker 1: those for eight, for those eight to say we're done
- 8:00Speaker 1: with the chaos. I hope it inspires more Democrats, almost
- 8:04Speaker 1: like I hope this firing of Dable inspires all New
- 8:06Speaker 1: York teams to get their shit together. I hope that
- 8:09Speaker 1: inspires all Democrats to get their shit together. And I've
- 8:12Speaker 1: been cursing more, but look right now we're not on radio,
- 8:15Speaker 1: so I could do this we're not FCC regulated, and
- 8:18Speaker 1: these are frustrating times. These are frustrating times, but it's
- 8:24Speaker 1: amazing to me. In New York, you could turn on
- 8:26Speaker 1: NBC four and mom Donnie picking a chief.
- 8:31Speaker 2: Of staff and a deputy mayor. That's actually the fourth
- 8:34Speaker 2: lead of the day. Okay, that used to be the
- 8:36Speaker 2: first lead. But we're so hungry for sports to do well. Here,
- 8:41Speaker 2: Dable's firing with the top story. You couldn't make it up.
- 8:48Speaker 2: We were shot. That's number one here in New York today,
- 8:53Speaker 2: and it.
- 8:53Speaker 1: Deserves the one Leg Up Award for the giants riding
- 8:56Speaker 1: the ship and the US Senate riding the ship as
- 9:01Speaker 1: well in DC.
- 9:03Speaker 2: And so congratulations to the two co.
- 9:09Speaker 1: Owners and whatever you want to say of the one
- 9:12Speaker 1: Leg Up Award. My god, I want to get a
- 9:14Speaker 1: leg lamp now and give these outs.
- 9:16Speaker 2: That would be great. But one leg Up awards, let's
- 9:19Speaker 2: do them every day.
- 9:21Speaker 1: Let's see and maybe you can nominate those who you
- 9:24Speaker 1: think to deserve the one Lug Up Awards, and maybe
- 9:28Speaker 1: this could be a feature a.
- 9:30Speaker 2: Thing daily by my choice.
- 9:33Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden open up to you, guys,
- 9:35Speaker 1: who do you want to have the one Leg Up award.
- 9:37Speaker 1: Who has had one look up in your life that
