  Speaker 1: Got all my Christmas shopping done and one fell swoop.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: By the way, there's a story attached to that. I'll
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: tell you in a second, and I'll get two sports
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: thoughts as well. You know, I'll be a bad guy
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: when it comes to a certain quarterback not named bo Nicks.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Good news for you, Coop was bracing for impact not
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: bo Nicks related, not yet, at least. For over forty years,
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: tire Reck's been helping customers find the right tires for how,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: what and where they drive, ship fast and free back
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: mobile tire installation, tire rack dot Com. The way tire
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: buying should be. So on the way to Christmas shopping
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: on Tuesday, I hit a snat fo okay, so the
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: day before tonight before I was sorry to say this,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: but I was driving well texting you know so and
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: don't do that. I know, and I learned the hard
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: way Lorraina. And this is a good public service announcement
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: for anybody who's thinking about doing this or doing this
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: right now while they're listening. Not a good idea. So
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: I went off the road a little bit and the
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: boom into a big old pothole is what happened to
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: yours truly. And I'm like, okay, are we good? Are
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: we good? We're still going?
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Is it?
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Tire? Flat? Tire? Seems okay, all right, we should be
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: all right. I think I don't know. But then today,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: then today things took a turn. So I'm driving and
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: then I get the little light on my car where
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: it's like, ah, you got a tire that's a little
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: bit low. I's like, all right, let me see. It's
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: a little cold here in Indiana. So I'm like, well,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: maybe that's what did it. Maybe it's, you know, the
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: tire pressure's down just because it's so cold out. Maybe
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: instead of like thirty three, it's at twenty eight. Yeah,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: let's put a little air in it. Yeah, being logical, Yeah,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: I looked at it, Loraina. It was down at nine.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Oh no, that's supposed to me at thirty three. It's
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: at nine. I'm like, oh, this is not good. So
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: I go straight to the tire store and you know,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: it's like two o'clock. They're like, yeah, we'll probably get
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: this done at like seven forty two. I'm like, good lord, dude,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: you're serious right now.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: I'm surprised you weren't driving on rims at that point.
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: I know it can't change your own tire.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Well, it wasn't about that. Yeah, I thought that I
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: had a flat you know, I thought I just go
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: to discount tire, shout out to them, and they fix
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: it if it's a flat tire. You know, if you
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: buy tires there, they just fix your tire. So that's
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: what I went there, and hopefully they're going to repair
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: the tire. So in the meantime, I'm like, good lord,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: I got like five hours. I'm just Christmas shopping on foot.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: I'm hoofing it. I'm going here, there, everywhere getting stuff done.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: They finally call back and they're like, yeah, so it's
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: your wheel. They're like, your whole wheel is just bent
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: to hell basically, and so they're like, yeah, you need
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: new wheel. And so you know it's like this that, well,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: we have wheels of our own, but it's not gonna
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: look the same. I'm like, dude, I need the same wheels,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: man like, and they're like, all right, we got to
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: go through the dealers. It's gonna be expensive. And they
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: quoted me. They're like, it's gonna be seven. I'm sorry,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: five seventy seven. Holy's what they said. I'm like, goodness, man,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: just for texting while driving. Goodness, We're gonna have been
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: way worse, way worse than that. I think this is
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: like a yo, don't do this. This is a healthy
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: reminder of like, don't do this. Luckily you didn't hit
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: anybody or they do damage to yourself, like really off
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: road in it. And I'm like, hey man, can you

• 3:42
  Speaker 1: of discount, some deal anything, And he's like, let me,

• 3:54
  Speaker 1: than you know, five seventy seven. That's fine, just do it.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's honestly not not bad that crazy. Something
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: similar has happened to me. Really yeah. It's because you know,
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: I'm pretty aware of other drivers and whatnot, and so
• 4:10

  Speaker 3: be thinking about the other stuff, not not just other cars,
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: other stuff, like you said, like a pothole, And in

  Speaker 3: my case, it was a giant trash bind like one
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: of those what yes, like like one of those you know,
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: large bins that you would see in the back of
• 4:38

• 4:43
  Speaker 3: it's it's three thirty in the morning, it's really dark outside.

• 5:06
  Speaker 1: at all.
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: So yeah, I'm great at using my eyes when they're

  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm quick, you know, Lorena, Like I'm not. I
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: don't take ten seconds away from the road. I'm like,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: I'm like an NFL quarterback. You know, you got to
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: have the internal clock right five seconds the ball's got
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: to come out, all right, that's the same thing. You

• 5:33
  Speaker 1: the road.
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: Hey, you said you went to tire Rack though.

• 5:56
  Speaker 1: how it goes. Okay, So I gotta be the bad
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: guy here, gotta be the bad guy. But what I'm
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: saying it's true, or what I'm saying is the truth
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: right here when it comes to one Lamar Jackson, Raven's quarterback.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: What's the deal with Lamar Jackson? You ask, Well, we
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: have the official designation from his injury that knocked him
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: out of the game on Sunday night against the Patriots.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: The head coach John Harbaugh has come out and said
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: that it is let me see hold on because I
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: had it in my notes. I have so many notes
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: right here. It's crazy, like I'm just looking down. We've
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: got Philip Rivers in the rundown, Notre Dame. I don't
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: know if I'm gonna get to them. Oh, Stafford's here.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Coop was ticked off at me on Sunday. We've got that.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Let's see playoff scenarios. Got all kinds of stuff, Draymond Green,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: gosh Anti tanking, all kinds of stuff, Lots lots of content.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Machine over here. Oh here it is Lamar Jackson. Sorry,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: but the the official injury designation what caused him to
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: miss most of the game Sunday night against the Patriots.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: It was a loss for the Ravens, big setback. It
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: is what's known as too much sand in the vagina.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Is what the official injury designation is for Lamar Jackson.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: It's a he's day to day with a Sandy Vijay.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Is what happened. Listen, you gotta get he's got a
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: back contusion, all right, That's what the real thing is,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: me being a radio idiot. The other part of it.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: He has a back contusion, which sounds severely Kyle, I
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: didn't know what a contusion was years ago. It's a
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: running joke with my mom, which is like, oh, you
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: might have a contusion. It's a bruise. It's a bruise. Okay,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: now listen, like a back contusion. I'm not saying it's
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: a walk in the park. I'm not saying it isn't painful,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: but it's something you can play with, you can get
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: back on the field in a game you gotta have.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: And yet here we are again. Now before I go further,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: let me just say this for anyone out there, I
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: know that Lamar Man he's got some ride or die
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: folks with him in his corner that are like wolverines
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: ready to pounce on the slightest thing that said that's
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: critical of their guy, Lamar. I like Lamar. It's that personal.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: The one thing I'll say about Lamar that I absolutely
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: love about the guy. He never threw it in our face.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: Like before he was in the NFL, there was all
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: this talk about is he gonna be a wide receiver.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: He's answering questions during the NFL combine like, Hey, are
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: you gonna work out with the receiver? He's like, no, sir,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: I'm a quarterback. Are you gonna like run forties with
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: the wide receipt. No, no, I'm a quarterback. He never
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: threw it in our face. That is a two time MVP,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: probably should have been a three time MVP, and he
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: never was Like MVP. Now what you thought I was
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: gonna be a wide receiver, I'm an MVP. What do
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: you have to say? No, he never threw it in our face.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: He's been a total pro. I love Lamar for that.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: I really respect him for that. So trust me when
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: I say this, This is not critical to a fault.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: I'm not a Lamar hater. I don't feel any certain
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: way about the guy. It's nothing like that at all.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: Just trust that I'm telling you something that's not born
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: out of emotion. I'm just telling you something that's born
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: out of football, which is I know this, and I'm
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: not telling you that Lamar never guts it out ever.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: Like look at this season. He's been dealing with a knee,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: a hamstring, a calf, and ainkle. Like he's got all
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: these injuries. It's greatly affected his production, the way he
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: plays his style. It's affected him quite a bit. But
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: he's gotten out there and he's got it through it.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: So I don't want to make it sound like he
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: doesn't play through anything, but I know this a back contusion.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Day to day, you realize howm gonna quarterbacks in the
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: past and currently in the NFL who have been back
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: on the field with the exact same injury. A lot
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: of quarterbacks, and that is the issue right there. Your
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: playoff lives are hanging by a thread. You are neck
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: and neck with the Steelers who won earlier in the
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: day against Detroit. You need this game. This is a
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: gotsa have it game, and you end the game with
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: Tyler Huntley on the field because Lamar isn't out there
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: again with a back contusion, and he's now day to day.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: You gotta suck it the bleep up and get your
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: ass back on the field. That's the bottom line. You
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: can't tell me with a straight face. Oh, Josh Allen
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: with a back contusion. Yeah, I don't think he finishes
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: the second half. Yeah right, he is out there, man.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: There are a lot of quarterbacks that would do that.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: Mahomes now, people look at Mahomes playing right now, he's injured.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: He's a torn acl and I think it's his torn
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: ace at LCL. He's got two torn knee ligaments. He
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: is injured. All right, it can't go no chance, know how.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: All right, he's on the shelf until next season. That's
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: being injured, being hurt, having like an awi, having something
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: that's really painful. But you can suck it up and
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: get back out there. Yeah, you gotta suck it up
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: and get back out there. You gotta do it. I remember.
• 11:33
  Speaker 6: Now.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying this is apples to apples in terms
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: of injury. But Peyton Manning he had a thumb injury
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: in the AFC Championship game against the Patriots years ago.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: It was the game that they won. They were losing
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: by a lot. They were down like twenty one to
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: six early on twenty one to three something like that
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: came all the way back won the game. But during
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: that game, Peyton messed up his thumb and he's like
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: like the backup is warming up. And during that game,
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: Jeff Saturday, the center, went up to Peyton Manning is like, brother,
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: you gotta go right, like, you gotta get back on
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: the field, like, suck it up. Find a way. I
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: don't know what to find a way. I don't care
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: if it's bent east and west and north at the
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: same time, like it's like the uh, it's like Lombard
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: Street in San Francisco, the Crooked Street. You know, I
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: don't care if your thumb looks like that, Peyton, Suck
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: it up and get back out there. Bro, you gotta go.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: You can't tell me that it's it's all right that
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: Lamar in that situation, they're up by eleven points somehow,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: and the lead just fizzles away as Lamar misses the
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: entire second half with a back contusion, a back bruise
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: day to day going forward. Bro, you gotta go. You
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: gotta get out there. Man, there are so many quarterbacks
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: right now that would be out there. You're telling me
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield wouldn't be out there, Patrick Mahomes wouldn't be
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: out there. Yeah, Mahomes has two tor kneelig amits. He
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: can't play with that. But Mahomes with a back contusion,
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: You think he's knocked out for the entire second half.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: Hell no, come on, man, Like I love Lamar, but dude,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: this is indefensible. You can't defend this with a straight face.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: I don't care. He's got a legion of backers and
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: dudes that come rushing to his defense. You can't come
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: rushing to his defense for this. It's indefensible. Dude, get
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: back on the field. It is football. It's not a
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: walk in the park. It's not gonna be roses. You're
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: not gonna feel great. You're gonna be in agonizing pain.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: Sometimes yeah, comes with the territory. But bro, you can't
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: help the club from the tub. And that's the deal
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: with him. He's in the tub too much. With being hurt.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: He's injured. I'm not going on and on about this
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: at all. But he's hurt, and you can play with
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: one of those awis with being hurt. You tell me
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: farv he's got a back contusion. It's like, oh, man,
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: I can't go in the second half. Yeah, man, Week
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: sixteen playoff lives just hanging by a thread. I'm sorry, man,
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: my back, man, it hurts. No come on, come on, dude,
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: suck it up and get out there. I'll be the
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: bad guy. You know a lot of people are like, oh,
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: I don't like to question anyone's toughness. I'll question your
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: toughness all day when it comes to this exactly a
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: back contusion day to day. Come on, man, and you
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: lose a game with Tyler Huntley on the field as
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: the Patriots scored two straight touchdowns and walk out of
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: there with the twenty eight to twenty four win. You
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: need the Steelers to lose out and you have to
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: win out these final two weeks. Whew, that's rough. Like
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: think of this. The scenario would be if the Ravens
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: win that game on Sunday, they beat the Patriots, well,
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: as long as you win in week seventeen, it comes
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: down to Week eighteen for the division. Now that's not
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: the scenario. If the Steelers beat the Browns, you're dead.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: Your season is over. You don't control your own path
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: because you lost that game to the Patriots. That's the
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: situation the Ravens are in right now. They do not
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: control their path to the playoffs. They have to have
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: the Steelers lose to the Browns to give them a chance.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: That's what they have to have. That's how important the
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: game was against the Patriots. And look, man, don't confuse
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I don't want to sound callous or
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: heartless or look man, I don't I don't want to
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: make it sound like Lamar is employee two one, six, five, three,
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: eight and he's not a human being. And like, I
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: don't want to make it sound like that, but Bro,
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: we're playing football over here. You have a back contusion.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: You're just day to day right now. I'm not saying
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: anything barbaric. This is foot ball. You are going to
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: be hurt. You could we could go down the roll
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: indecks of Jack Youngblood playing on a broken leg, of
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: Philip Rivers played for the Chargers on a torn acl
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: against the Patriots. The list goes on and on and
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: on and on Emmett Smith playing with a shoulder that
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: was mangled against the Giants and just being outstanding that
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: day and winning a very very important game. The list
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: goes on and on and on and on of players
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: that have played with things much worse than a back contusion. Like, Bro,
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: that's the baseline. You got to get back out there
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: with an injury like that. Have to. There's no two
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: ways about it. It's not like, well, Brian, I mean
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: you're being a no, no no, not in the NFL,
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: not when there's that much on the line. You gotta
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: find a way. And he didn't. And I'm sorry, there's
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: no defending that. But listen, I've made my point clear.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: No need to go on and on about it, but Bro,
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: that's brutal. You cannot go Your season might have ended
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: again if the Steelers beat the Browns on Sunday, the
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: raven season is over. And the Ravens season might have
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: ended with Lamar Jackson not getting on the field in
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: the second half with a bone bruise, I'm sorry, with
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: a back bruise day to day going forward and Tyler
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: Huntley out there, and oh, by the way, not giving
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: the ball to Derrick Henry, which is like he was
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: going off, he was going crazy. How do you not
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: give him the ball? What are you doing? Ravens? So
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: that's my thing is how do you not give Dereck
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: Henry the ball? How does Lamar Jackson not find a
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: way to gut it out and get back on the field.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: It can't. It can't go down like that, man, It
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: just can't. And it did. Hey. This show is sponsored

  Speaker 1: get to a potential revival for this quarterback in a second.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: But a couple of people have thoughts on Lamar. So
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: I hope this doesn't turn into a you know, dis
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: Lamar situation over here. I just think the guy, you
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: gotta got it out. You got to get on the field.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: You got a back bruise. Come on, man. But Andrew
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: is in Baker's field. He's got some thoughts for us
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: on Lamar. What's going on? Andrew? You're on Fox Sports Radio?
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: What's up? Brian? Merry Christmas?
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: Same to you, man?
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: All right? So I just have you ever had a
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: heal contusion.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: I can't say that I have no. No, I don't
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: think I've had a heel contusion.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: Okay, I have, and they hurt like you can't walk
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: on them, can't put any pressure on them. You know,
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: my sister had one and she had it for a
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: long time. I think a couple of years.
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: But so.
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: In my opinion, I don't know, maybe it was just
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: too much. Have you ever had any bone bruised or no?
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: Well I've had. I mean, I've had plenty of broken bones,
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: torn ligaments, I don't not many bruises for some some reason,
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: not many contusions right there. But Andrew, before you go like,
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: have you have you played in the NFL? Oh?
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I was Hall of Fame material.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: I thought I was inside linebacker, but white out okay,
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: wide receiver. But that's the thing though, man, Like I
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: get it. I'm not saying these injuries aren't incredibly painful.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: But guess what, man, they got they got uh you know,
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: you get the Mexicans shots, you got Corti Zone, you
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: got you know, all kinds of stuff to mask the pain. Bro,
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: you gotta get back out there with a bone bruise,
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: with a back Bruce. Your day to day, you gotta
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: find a way to get back on the field. I
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: know it's painful, I know it sucks, but you gotta
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: grit your way through that man, and he just didn't again.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: All right, thanks, all right, man, there he is Andrew
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: and Bakersfield had a bruised heel. That doesn't sound fun.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: Does not sound like a fun time.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: Uh. You know, coincidentally, I'll get to another quarterback in
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: the same division. I didn't plan this out, but here
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: we are. So Deshaun Watson, there's some news on Deshaun Watson,
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: Brown's quarterback. This was Kevin Stefanski. He had his press
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: conference and he gave an update on old Deshaun Watson.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: Here is what Kevin Stefanski had to say on the roster.
• 23:50
  Speaker 8: We will not activate DeShawn, so he will go to
• 23:54
  Speaker 8: reserve back to reserve pup. But really proud of the
• 23:59
  Speaker 8: progress that he's made, doing a really nice job in
• 24:02
  Speaker 8: the mating room on the field of these last few weeks.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: Okay, So no Deshaun in twenty twenty five. Not the
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: biggest shock in the world. But here's the thing that
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: I was thinking of in lighted this news. Can you
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: see a potential revival somewhere down the road, maybe next season,
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: maybe a couple of years from now for Deshaun Watson.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: And before you say no, way, just consider a couple
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: of things. Okay, if you say, oh, Brian, it's been
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: way too long. This guy has been hurt for how
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: many years now he's been suspended, Now he's been hurt.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: He's missed so much time, Like it's just too long
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: in between when he was a viable starter and now
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: there's too much time. Okay, maybe you think like that.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: Let me introduce you to a guy named Geno Smith. Okay,
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: now Gino is having his struggles right now, but it
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: was what six seasons in between him being a starter
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: in the NFL. He started his first two years with
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: the Jets. That was twenty twenty, thirteen, twenty fourteen. He's
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: not a starter in fifteen, not a starter in sixteen
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: or seventeen or eighteen or twenty twenty. He started three
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: games with the Seahawks in twenty twenty one, finally got
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: a chance to start again in twenty twenty two. So
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: from fifteen out like one, two, three, four, five, six
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: seasons not being a full time starter, then got a
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: chance in twenty twenty two and revived his career. Had
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: a couple of pretty good seasons in Seattle. You look
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: at his numbers. Here's Gino after again, six seasons without
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: being a full time starter. Twenty twenty two, he threw
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: thirty touchdown passes eleven picks. The next year twenty touchdown passes,
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: nine picks. Just to give you an idea passer rating.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: First year a little over one hundred, second year ninety two,
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: last year in Seattle ninety three. Respectable numbers. Revived his career,
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: and think about how Gino Smith looked his first two
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: years with the Jets and then he got on track.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: Think about other quarterbacks. Baker Mayfield, We've seen him revive
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: his career. Sam Darnold has revived his career. Daniel Jones
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: before he got hurt, revived his career with the Colts.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: Is it possible that Deshaun Watson his career could be revived.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: I'm here to tell you I think it can. I'm
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: not banging the table. It will. It'll happen. By gosh,
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying that. I'm telling you there's a chance.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you it's possible, and I think one of
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: the things that needs to happen, it's got to happen
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: outside of Cleveland's I get the Shawn out of Cleveland,
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: because that's where quarterbacks go to die. Now, I will
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: stand by this. I do think if a quarterback truly
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: is a difference maker, he still can make a difference
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: in Cleveland. I think it was just too early in
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield's career to make a difference because if you
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: look at Baker Mayfield, the running opinion on the Browns is, oh,
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: they don't have talent there. They just you know, they
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: just don't have enough to work with. That wasn't the
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: case when Baker Mayfield was there. I think it was
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: just too early in his development in the NFL. But
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: he had a legitimate offensive line at the time, very
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: good offensive line. You've got what you had at one time,
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: Odell Beckham, Junior Jarvis Landry, you had David and Joku,
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: real offensive line, real running game. That's when you had
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt. That's more than enough to
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: be a good, functioning upper echelon offense. They just weren't.
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: They just weren't with Baker. But I won't buy the
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: idea that he just had nothing to work with. I
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: just think he was a little young. I think he
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: was immature. I just don't think he was ready at
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: that time just yet. And give Baker a lot of credit.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: He took the scenic route. Eventually got to Tampa after
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: a brief stint with Carolina, like, got there on a Tuesday,
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: balled out on a Thursday for the Rams, that was insane,
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: beat the Raiders, you know, revived his career, got to Tampa,
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: and here he is. He's played really well now that
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: the production has gone a little bit south this season,
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: but a lot of injuries he hasn't been as good.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: Maybe losing Leam Cone as now the head coach of
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: the Panthers, maybe that has something to do with it.
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: But the point is Baker Mayfield did revive his career
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: once he left Cleveland, right, not make Cleveland sound like,
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: I don't know, it's quarterback paradise. And I would blame
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson way more than I would blame Cleveland for
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: his deficiencies. You know there with the Browns. It's certainly
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: his fault way more than it is the Browns. But
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: the point remains let's just say DeShawn is eventually released,
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: like the Browns move on from Deshawn's a free agent.
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: You're telling me there's not a chance that some I
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: don't know, bright offensive mind. Let's say the Vikings. Okay,
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: let's just say for the sake of argument, the Vikings.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: Kevin O'Connell obviously knows what he's doing. Look at what
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: he did last season with Sam Donald. They won fourteen
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: games with Sam Donald. There and Sam Donald fizzled down
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: the stretch in Week eighteen, the playoff loss to the Rams,
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: it was a disaster. He won fourteen games with Sam Donald.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: That's really good. No one looks at Kevin O'Connell and says, yeah,
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: he just doesn't know what he's doing. This guy hack
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: hack City. No one thinks that with Kevin O'Connell. But
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: right now he's got JJ McCarthy who is rough, rough
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: this year, right and injured. Now gonna miss this Sunday
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: or Saturday. That's when they play, and you get the
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: Max Brosmer experience against the Lions. Right. Like, imagine if
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: the Vikings say, man, you know what, JJ McCarthy, he
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: might not be the real deal. So what are we
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: gonna do. Who are we gonna get? What if the
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: Vikings or a team that's similar has a bright, offensive
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: minded head coach and they say, you know what, we
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: still think there might be some tread on the tires
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: with old Deshaun Watson. Let's see how he does with
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: a pretty good offensive line, decent running game. Let's see
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: what he does with Justin Jefferson, one of the best
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: receivers in football, Jordan Addison, TJ Hockinson.
• 31:04
  Speaker 5: Let's see if he could play.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: Let's see if he can be as good as Sam
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: Darnold was for us. Like, you don't think Deshaun Watson
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: could do that? Even now, I do. I think he could.
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't close the door on his career being revived.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: It's gonna take the right situation, the right team, the
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: right offensive minded head coach, but surrounded by like upper
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: echelon talent, which the Vikings have.
• 31:34
  Speaker 6: Oh.
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: I think he could revive his career. I do. And
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: it's not gonna be easy, especially with the you know,
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: all the you know, the massage therapists and all that,
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: like the whole fiasco to come back from all of
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: that he's created. He's set so many hurdles in front
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: of himself. It's hard enough to thrive in the NFL,
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: Like if you're running the one hundred meters when everybody's
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: just running on a track, you don't want to set
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: hurdles in front of yourself. Like no one's running, no
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: one's jumping over hurdles except you. Like Deshaun Watson in
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: his lane set many hurdles in his way, high hurdles too.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: So I'm not telling you it's gonna be easy, but
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: to just be like, I just think the general vibe is, oh,
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: this dude's washed. No way, no way does he revive
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: his career. If Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold, Daniel Jones, Geno
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: Smith can do it, you don't think Deshaun Watson, in
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: the right situation, with good talent, bright offensive mind, he's incapable.
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: I don't believe that at all. I think he's fully capable.
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: I'm not telling you I'm running to the betting window
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: if there were such a wager to say, oh, yeah,
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: he's gonna revive his career. He might be, you know,
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: he might be a top quarterback. Again. I'm not running
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: to the betting window to do that. But oh, best
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: believe that door is open. Don't think that that door
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: is closed where there's no chance he could revive his career.
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: I don't think it happens in Cleveland. But if they
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: cut bait and he's on the open market, if he
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: ends up in the right situation, yeah, I think it
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: could happen. And think about this too, think about the
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: lack of quarterback talent on the open market. These teams,
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: they're gonna be like, all right, do we bring in
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson? E yikes? Wow? All right, what else do
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: we have to work with here? Like, bro, it's not
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: name recognition all over the league that's just readily available.
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: That's not gonna happen. And so yeah, I keep that
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: idea in the back of your head. I think there's
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: a legitimate chance that it could happen. Hey, all right,
