• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Ten Takes is a production of the NFL in partnership
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: with iHeartRadio. Welcome you did it. You're here, new year,
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: same show, same format. Ten Takes ten minutes me spouting
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: at you, thanks for joining us.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: I'm really flatter that you clicked and I'm not going
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: to waste any of your time.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Start the clock. Take number one. The Ravens are the
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: best team in the world. They just had their best
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: game of the year against the Dolphins.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: Or did they.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: That's what's fun about the Ravens. You can just sit
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: here and lay out their wins out on the table.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Pick the prettiest one, picked the nastiest one. They destroyed
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: the Dolphins, They pantsed the Niners, they crushed the Lions.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: They beat the hell out of the Seahawks. You can
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: just keep on going, just keep going. That was an
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: annihilation against the Dolphins. The Ravens are so far ahead
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: of the field. It's you don't see a team often
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: that is this far ahead of the pack. What's crazy
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: is the Niners were this team a month ago and
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: they got destroyed by Baltimore. It was the end of
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: the game, when the game was already in hand, and
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: the Ravens just said, who hasn't scored yet? Anybody else
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: want a touchdown? I was reminded of my adolescence the
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: ninety eight NBA Finals Bulls Jazz Jordan Malone. There was
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: a game you can look it up at The Bulls
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: won by forty two points, and every single player on
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: the roster scored.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: Everyone.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: It wasn't just Michael and Scotty and Harper and Luke
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Longley and Rodman. Everybody on the bench scored. Judd Bushler scored,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Bobby Hansen, Randy Brown, you name it. Keep on going
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: because I remember it. There was only one player who
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: hadn't scored yet, only one, and it was Bill Wennington,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: their center, who looks like an English teacher, and he
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: had a baseline jumper towards the end of the game.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: And I think it was cost Us on the call
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: saying the night is complete. That was the Ravens victory
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: over the Dolphins. Melvin Gordon one is on the Ravens
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: two scored a touch against the Dolphins. Pat Ricard, my
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: favorite Raven number forty two, the full back, scored his
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: first touchdown of the year. I think it was this
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: fifth catch of the year. He doesn't have any carries.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: That was the Ravens. They're going Bill Wennington on a really,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: really good Dolphins team. That's how good they are.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: Take number two. I told you about the Steelers.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: I told you, and I told your friend, and I
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: told your brother, and I told your sister, and I
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: told your children.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: I told your mother and your father.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: I told you. Don't give up on this team. Don't
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: give up on the Steelers. I don't care how bad
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: they look. They can trabisky their pants three two games
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: in road, doesn't matter.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: Don't give up on the Steelers.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: They go to Seattle, they have an incredible win in
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: which Najie Harris has the best game of his career.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Jalen Warren is my idol. They destroy He didn't even
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: need the big TJ. Watt game. They did it. Don't
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: ever give up on the Steelers. Just trust the logo,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: trust the brand. I remember during COVID you might remember
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: the same type of thing. There was all kinds of
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: crazy things going on, where, oh my god, what's gonna
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: happen with the stock market, what's going to happen with finances?
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: And you know he's telling you should you should pull
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: your money out, you should do this do that put
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: it in a mattress. I like to talk to about
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: my dad about financial things, and I remember calling him.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: I'm like, Dad, I'm hearing some pretty scary things. Should
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: you know, should I pull out pull any money I
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: have out of the stock market? And he goes, never,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: always have faith, and Uncle Sam, it'll be all right.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: And I was like, always have faith and Uncle Sam,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: that sounds pretty naive and corny, Dad, But I think
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: he might be right, and he was. I didn't lose
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: all my money, thank god. The Pittsburgh Steelers are like
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Uncle Sam in the stock market and make it really
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: scary and make it really ugly. You may lose some
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: have faith. Take number three. The Eagles are terrible, terrible.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Do you understand that they were at home against an
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals team that's gonna have a top five pick
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: in the draft, and the Cardinals didn't punt in that game.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: They didn't punt in that game. That is something that
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: the Kurt Warner Cardinals never did a puntless game, that
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: the Carson Palmer Cardinals never did puntless games. Those teams
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: that went deep in the playoff since to the Super Bowl.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: But Kyler Murray just walked in there to the link
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: and didn't punt. You know, the Cardinals at thirty two
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: first downs, do you know that is the second most
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: they have ever had in the history of the organization,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: an organization that's only been around since eighteen ninety eight.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: God, the Eagles suck. I said this yesterday.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: The city of Philadelphia and their sports fans got more
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: defensive intensity from James Harden while he was a seventy
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: six er than they're getting from anybody on the Eagles
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: right now. You could bring in James Harden, put a
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: pads and helmet on him and say James play middle linebacker,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: and his effort in tackling and intensity would be an
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: increase over what's out there right now. Thirty two first
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: downs to the Cardinals. Ugh, take number four Dolphins Bills.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Is an awesome Week eighteen game. Awesome Week eighteen game
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: at night in Miami. It's gonna be in the air tonight,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: the Phil Collins Miami. I don't know how Miami's gonna
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: stop Josh Allen. And I hate to be such a
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: homer or a honk. I'm not can't be a homer.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: I'm not from Buffalo about Josh Allen A bet I'm
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: not being Just look at the stats. Look at his
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: record against the Dolphins, look at his record against the
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Mike McDaniel Dolphins. The recent Dolphins. He throws a ton
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: of touchdowns, very few interceptions, and the only perfect passing
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: game of his entire career Josh Allen was against the
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Dolphins this year, just a couple of months ago. It's
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: like the best game he's ever ever played. I don't
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: know how they're gonna do it because no Bradley Chubb,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: no Jalen Phillips. Those are the wranglers. Those are the
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: guys who get Allen down. They're gonna need an Outlandis
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: game from their offense, I think because Allen will Cook
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: take number five. Quick time out to talk college football.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: I watched the Rose Bowl. Was that the worst play
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: call ever? At the end of the game? What was
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Alabama doing? That sucked? I really like Tommy Reese Saban, Saban.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: They're sitting there and they need to score. They have
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: a fourth and goal. They had about twenty minutes to
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: think about it. There were timeouts and timeouts and interminable
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: commercial breaks in that game, and then they're like here's
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: what we should do. Let's take our quarterback, line them
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: up in the shotgun behind the center who can't do
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: a shotgun snap? Who has proven it to us for
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: three hours, And let's just have a crappy snap, have
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: him pick it up off his shoelaces and then dive
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: headfirst into the back of that same lineman who can't
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: do a snap. That'll be the game. What a terrible call.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: The Michigan d line had eaten them up all day,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: all nights. They didn't even sprint the guy out, they
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: didn't get him. Just take the ball, the shotgun, snap
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: off the grass and run and dive into the line
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: and let's go home.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: God, that sucked. What a great game. What a terrible,
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: terrible call. Take number six.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: Justin Fields and his future is the most interesting story
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: in the NFL. The games are the most exciting, the
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: games are the most topical. Justin Fields is the most interesting.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Fact is the Chicago Bears locked up the number one pick.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Carolina. They have the number one pick for
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: the second year in a row. It's done. It doesn't
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: matter what happens the next week. What the hell did
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: they do with Justin Fields? I've been asking this for
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: two months. Do they take a quarterback and say Justin
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: we're done with you. Do they trade it for this
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: second year in a row and say Justin, we love you.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Do they do something really nuts and take Marvin Harrison
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: as the number one overall pick in the draft. It's
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: so fun, And you know what, I still don't think
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: they know what they're doing with Justin Fields. I'll tell
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: you this. The Bears go to Lambeau. They go to
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: against the Packers, the Packers who are fighting for a lot.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: If Justin Fields goes and plays well and wins that
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: game and ends the Packers season, wins in Lambeau, I
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: think you have to bring him back. If he goes
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: and he throws two interceptions and fumbles, then they lose
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: thirty one to sixteen. They may not bring him back.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: They may say it's enough we were drafting a quarterback.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: I really think it's like a playoff game for his career.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: It's that big. I don't think they've made up their
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: mind either way. I think they're standing there and the like,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: we're gonna watch one more game. This organization purportedly is
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: about beating the Packers. Let's go to lambo and see
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: if he can do it. It's amazing. Take number seven
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: tough to slam. The take on the Lions call into
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: our very tidy format here at the end of the
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: Lions Cowboys game has been talked about for days. The
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: one thing I cannot abide is the take where they
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: were too creative and they were too slick, and you
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: shouldn't have gone up there with all those linemen and
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: you confused the official just like you were trying to
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: confuse the Cowboys.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: Well, too bad. The officials' job is.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: To not be confused, don't penalize the Lions, or don't
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: blame the Lions because they were too creative amidst the
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: most creative era in the history of the sport, in
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: which you're nothing if you're not creative. They nailed that thing.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: The referee was overwhelmed. He should have slowed down and said, well,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: whoa hold on a second, let's make sure of this.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: He assumed it got away from them. They didn't do
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: everything perfect, the officials didn't do everything perfect, But don't
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: blame the Lions were being too creative because they nailed
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: that thing. Take number eight Lions Rams is the only
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: playoff game. I really really really really want do you
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: understand that this La Rams dumped Jared Goff after he
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: got them to the super Bowl, after a Super Bowl run,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: they dumped him. They said I'm out, I need an upgrade.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: And then the best part about it was that he
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: didn't even meet with Jared Goff.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: It was done over the phone.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: It was not done directly, and Jared Goff double back
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: and said, no, Sean, we're going to I'd like to
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: talk with you face to face. Can you imagine them
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: going into Detroit, the Rams with Stafford his upgrade, facing Jared.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: What if Jared lights them up? It's so so so good.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: I want it.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Take number nine. Lamar's gonna win the MVP. It's done,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: and he's not gonna do it necessarily statistics. He's gonna
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: go the avenue of best player on the best team,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: which I respect. I think Christian McCaffrey has had a
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: hell of a season and you could say he is
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: the best player in the best team, but he's not
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: the best team. They got hammered by Baltimore. I just
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: think it's funny. I've got to talk to Christian a
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: few times about this exact topic. When awards come up.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: No matter what the award is. He always kind of
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: rolls his eyes and laughs because he never wins awards. Said,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: he's like, I never win anything. I don't win the Heisman,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: I didn't win Rookie of the Year. I didn't want
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: Offensive Player of the Year. I don't win a Comeback
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Player of the Year. He lost it last year to
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Gino Smith. He had a thousand and a thousand season. McCaffrey,
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: not only do he not win MVP, didn't even win
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Offensive Player of the Year.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: He won't win.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Take number ten. I reached the height of laziness this
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: past couple of days. My wife and my family are
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: out of town. I did an Uber Eats order and
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: I specified on the order in the little comment section,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: please come in the front door, Come on in. I
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: wanted to see if I could get the delivery driver.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: It's come all the way in the house into my couch.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: I didn't even have to get off the couch.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: He came in. This guy's name was Brian.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: He drove a Subaru and he delivered and knocked on
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: the door and he said, hello, Hello, is anybody here.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: He made me get off the couch, but I still tried,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: and I regret. Nothing that's ten minutes doesn't take ten minutes.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: We talked about food, college football, pro football. We talked
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: some nineties bulls. It was really fun. Twenty twenty four
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: is going to be a great year. Thank you for
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: joining me. Let's get out tight. Episode ten takes ten minutes.
