One Leg Up On Remembering September 11th's Impact on Sports With Derek Jeter, Ryan Clark and Terminello's Take 9-12-24 · OneLegUpAlex Media

• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Here's your host, Alex Garrett. Hey everybody, I'm Alex Garrett,
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: and obviously, yesterday we did not do a show because
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: I believed in going dark for nine to eleven in
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: honor of the fallen and those innocent lives lost during
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: the nine to eleven terrorist attacks. But on September twelfth,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: we're back on and that means got some thoughts in
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: the sports world when it comes to the aftermath of
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: nine to eleven. We'll get to that Piazza home run
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: with lou Terminello in a second, but Ryan Clark, the
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: former nfler who was part of the Pivot podcast, had
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: this great question for Derek Jeter at the Fanatics Veest
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, and I just wanted you to hear
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: that before we get to Terminello's take.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: What were some of those moments like for you and
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: how proud were you to be not only just an
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: American but in New Yorker at that time it was
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: the first time it's a professional athlete where I felt
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: as though it didn't matter what we were doing, It
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: doesn't make a difference, it doesn't count, you know. I mean,
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: there's bigger issues in the world as supposed to whether.
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: Or not the Yankees win or lose. And it wasn't until.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: We had a chance to meet a lot of families
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: who had lost loved ones.
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: And they had told us how much joy.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: We had brought their families and how they were pulling
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: for us to continue to play well. And so we
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: took that as a huge respon responsibility to not help
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: people forget, because you're never gonna forget, but at least
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: for three hours during the day or three hours at night,
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: just give them something to cheer for. And we took
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: that personally and it was probably as electric as energetic
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: as I've seen the old Yankees when we got to
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: the World Series, even though we lost. The three games
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: that we played in New York and the way the
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: city rallied around us. First time we went on the road,
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: people weren't booing us. That's the first, maybe the only
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: time I ever played in Boston. People weren't booing us
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: because they understood that we were represented.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: We're all in this together. So it was it was
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: a time that I looked back on, and I don't
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: even know if I'm saying it right, but it's a
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: time I looked back on and I.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Appreciated, I really appreciated being a part of the Yankee
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: organization and representing.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: The work, you know, And that's.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: So you could tell that there was an immense responsibility,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: a monumental task to keep the families of nine to
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: eleven victims uplifted, the spirit uplifted, and quite frankly, this
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: entire city uplifted. And I felt that the Piazza home run,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: that the Yankees World Series run did just that. And
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: those three games at the stadium weren't remarkable, weren't they.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Luizer Manello, I know that you have some thoughts on
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: September eleventh and the aftermath.
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: What you just remember what happened twenty three years ago.
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: It's almost hard to believe. That's something I never thought
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: could happen in the United States. And you can't you
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: can't shake it, you know. They you know, they always
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: say never forget, never forget. We should never forget, and
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: that and the young people who weren't born yet, they
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: really need to know the heroic people not only in
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: New York but at the Pentagon in Pennsylvania that day.
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: Those are American heroes that we can't forget, and.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Truly icons and and and really heroes. And by the way,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: know sports played a big role, and we talk about
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: a timetime again, but it's worth examining the Piazza home
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: run the Yankees World Series run in O one. I mean,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: those two things really rallied the city and I think
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: in more ways than people realized at the time.
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: Oh correct, you know, sports still are our getaway from
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: everyday life. And you know, at that time, we didn't know,
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: especially that day and the day after, if that was it,
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: if anything, ecause remember they totally shut down, the terrorists
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: totally shut down the air the planes, and there was
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: no flights for three four days. It was it was really,
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: it was really horrendous. And uh, you know, ironically, twenty
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: three years ago, tonight, the Giants are playing Monday night
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: football game in Denver and they had they lost the
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: Broncos that night, and they flew home and they got
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: home early in the morning, probably around seven, into Newark Airport.
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: And I'm almost sure, I'm ninety nine percent sure that
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: the Giants charter flight landed next to flight ninety three,
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: which ended up going down in Pennsylvania, which the passengers
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: took down before it hit its wherever The terrorists were
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: going to take him, and I think to this day,
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: we don't know where that was going to be. Was
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: it going to be in the Capitol Building, the White House?
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: But just justice, just an unbelievable, just an unbelievable time
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: for Americans. And like I said, I never thought that
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: could happen, Never thought that could happen in New York City,
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: never thought that could happen in America. So but we
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: lean on sports to get our minds away from a
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: lot of things that happened in this world. But we
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: can never forget what happened on September eleventh, and sports
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: played a major help everyone in their return to somewhat normalcy.
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: I don't know if the world has been normal since
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: that day, but sports that definitely played played its part
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: into into healing a little bit. But it was an
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: interesting week in the NFL Alex I thought to play
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: as I was watching all the games on Sunday, I
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: thought the play was poor throughout the league. I thought
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: the quarterback play was poor throughout the league. And you
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: know that could be because a lot of these teams
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: don't play their regulars in the preseason. And I still
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: understand that, and I would do the same thing. But
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: the quality of play this weekend was not what you're
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: going to see a month from now. And it's going
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: to be interesting to see when the injuries report comes
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: out today and tomorrow to see how many teams have
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: major injuries well, I don't want to say major injuries,
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: but more on the injury list than you normally would
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: see on a weekly basis.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: I know, well, the one unseen was Christian McCaffrey last
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: night and the Jets. I thought they would have an
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: advantage with McCaffrey out to be completely honest and Rogers
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: out there what went wrong? And I feel like you
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: were right over reaction Monday did happened it? And Tuesday
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: now too well overreaction.
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: There's a lot of overreaction in a lot of NFL
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: cities today, both positively and negatively. Obviously, the forty nine
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: ers are the favorites to go back to the Super
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: Bowl from the NFC. Obviously, the forty nine ers have
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: their program totally set in place. You know what I
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: think of Kyle Shant, and we've talked about it last year.
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: I think he is one of the most underrated coaches
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: in the NFL. His game preparation is on a scale
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: of one to ten, a nine point nine. He's a
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: great offensive coach. They the Niners put guys in motion,
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: they run, the Jets sweep their schemes totally had the
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: Jets off balance defensively, and I was shocked that the
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: Jet defense, which you know, really confused Patrick Mahomes last year,
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: confused c J. Stroud and the Jet's biggest win of
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: the year thirty to six against the Texans had Josh
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: Allen turning the Bowl over on Opening Night last year,
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: even after Aaron Rodgers went down. You know, they were
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: top three defense statistically the last two years. Last night, Alex,
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: they were terrible. They were dominated, They were physically dominated.
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: They didn't they put no pressure on Party. They couldn't
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: stop the run game, which surprised me. There was wide
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: open receivers in the middle of the field. Now, Robert
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: Sala was a defensive coordinator with Shanahan at the forty
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: nine ers when they went to that first Super Bowl,
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: so he should know what was You would think he
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: should know, doubt what was going on and what they expect,
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: But they were out coach last night. They were not prepared,
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: which surprised me. I don't think it's something. I hope
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: it's not something we're gonna see throughout the rest of
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: the season. And you know, the offense was only on
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: the field for twenty one minutes, and really, let's let's
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: the last four minutes and twenty two seconds that they
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: were on the field with Tyrod Taylor, you could you
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: could throw that down the toilet bowl. The Jets really
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: had the both for like seventeen or eighteen minutes with
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: Rogers at the quarterback. The Jets defense was scored on
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: eight consecutive possessions happen, And I think that'll get straightened out.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: They won't be playing a team as good as the
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: forty nine ers every week, but the forty nine is
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: now rather at a time in their development where the
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: only thing they have to do is they got to
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: win the Super Bowl. They go into the Super Bowl,
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: which they've done twice, is not good enough. They could
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: put they had interchangeable parts. They knew McCaffrey wasn't gonna
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: play since it seemed like since Thursday or Friday. So
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: Jordan Mason an undrafted rookie. Again, we talk about running backs,
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: here's another kid who was undrafted as a running back
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: had one hundred and forty seven yards last night. And
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: that's why you gotta be careful how you spend money
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: on running backs and where you pick him in the draft.
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: But they kicked the Jets butt. There's no other way
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: to say it. The defense really has I would not
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: want to be in that room when they get back,
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: whether it's I assume tomorrow, since they they landed at
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: seven o'clock this morning in Newark, I assume they'll be
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: back in tomorrow. I wouldn't. I would not want to
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: be in that defensive room. I would not. I mean
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: everything that the coaches rip them on, the players have
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: no kick coming. No one played well for the Jets. Defensively,
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: they were.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: At that's a surprise because last year they were one
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: of the top defenses in this in the league.
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: I felt right, and they were, and statistically they were,
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: And I think this is an aberration and I think
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: this is a wake up poll. Maybe they were reading
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: their press. Climpings has a great defense. I thought Rogers through.
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: Now getting back to the offense, I thought Rogers threw
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: the pool very well, which was a positive thing, but
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: they couldn't run the football. And the Jets couldn't run
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: the football last year, even though Breis Hall came within
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: six y odds of a thousand yards. But there's no opening,
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: so that they have to improve in that area. I
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: thought the pass protection was good. He was sacked once,
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: ironically by Leonard Floyd, who hit him last year when
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: he tore his achilles. When Floyd was on the Bills,
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: there was only five pressures on him, including the sack,
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: for the entire game, So I mean that was positive.
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: But as I said, I wasn't worried about who they
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: were playing in the first eleven days. The fact that
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: they're playing three games in eleven days makes every game problematic.
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: It really does. I did not expect them to win
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: last night, but I expected the game to be closer.
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: I expected the game to be more competitive, and it wasn't.
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: I mean, the last two and a half quarters, the
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: forty nine ers did anything they wanted to do both ways,
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: offensively and defensively. And I mean brock Perdy knows how
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: to run that offense. And you go back to the
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: draft of twenty twenty two, and he was the last
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: quarterback drafted. He was the last player drafted. You do
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: that draft all over again. He's the first quarterback drafted.
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: You look at that list of quarterbacks from twenty twenty two.
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: Can he Pickett Ritter whose I don't think he's on
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: anybody's practice squad. You can go right down the line
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: a Skylet Thompson. I believe he was in that draft
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: and he's a decent backup, and he's still on the
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: Dolphins roster as their backup. But the number one, the
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: number one pick quarterback that year, without a doubt, if
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: you have to redo the draft, would be Rock Perdy
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: and he was mister irrelevant. Think about that, Alex. A
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: couple of things that caught my eye on.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: Some Oh no, you're right, and you know Rock Party.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: We've had our debates. I guess you and I have
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: talked about him. I thought he was coming into his
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: own and then stumbled a little bit. But he is
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: becoming a notable no Also quarterback. But he's he's becoming
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: known a little more and he's gonna you.
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: Know what, Alex, he's one of the top He's one
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: of the top quarterbacks in the NFL. Would you call
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: him elitiat though I wouldn't call him elite yet, you know,
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: sometimes that that word is over overplayed. He's a leite
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: for that offense. He's a leak for that team.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: And not to go backwards, but if he was healthy
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: most of that game against the Eagles a couple of
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: years ago, they have a chance.
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: I really believe that at Alex. Actually, you beat me
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: too when I was going to say that, if he
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: didn't get hurt in that game, they might have been
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: in the super Bowl two years in a row without without,
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: without a doubt. Since he started, and I don't know
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: the number of exact number of games he started, but
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: I would have to say it's probably probably around about
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: twenty five. Since he started late in twenty twenty two,
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: he scored thirty points. The Niners have with him as
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: their quarterback fourteen times he scored thirty points. No other
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: quarterback in the league has done that. Not Josh Allen,
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: not Matt Patrick, Mahomes, not Lamar Jackson, not justin Herbert
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: rock Purdy. So he's he's the real deal. They're the
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: real real deal, and I think the Jets will bounce back.
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: I was I was disappointed last night. As you know,
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: I'm a I'm a longtime Jets ruder. I was disappointed
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: that they were so ill prepared.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: Did you find the Niners where we talk about this
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: during the Last Ball preview, were they more disciplined? I
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: mean we talked about Shanahan's coaching style and how sometimes
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: we look at the scene and say, man, they're not
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: disciplined for prime time yet, But they are. They are now.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: I think they're they're there, So they are.
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: And Fred Warner, three time pro bowler, came out like
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: a crazy man last night, said the tone for defense,
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: and like I said, after the first quarter, it was
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: the forty nine ers game and they never looked back.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: But well, around the league, I know we're gonna get
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: there in a second. But I have to say this,
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: Lou I had no problem with the Eagles winning. I mean,
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: I have no real qualms with the Eagles, but the
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: Giants losing of the Cowboys winning opening week killed me
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: because you know, I just don't know what it is
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: about Dallas. I just can't stand them personally.
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: Well, you're a Giants fan, so uh, you know.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: But to lose that the way we look, the way
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: that the Giants lost and then see the way the
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: Cowboys won really ticked me. All. I have to say,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: and the fact that I thought the actual Cowboys were
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: going to be shakier than the Giants, that's a little
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: more surprising too, Like maybe they will be down in
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: the long run. Maybe this was a flashing bad against
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: the Browns. But you know, it pissed me off to
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys one the kind of shocked me at the
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: same time.
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: Well, all right, let's look at the nfcas what happened
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: in the NCS this weekend. Real quickly, I thought the
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: Eagles were very shaky on on a Friday night, just
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: Jalen Hurts almost for a guy who came within a
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: couple of plays of winning the Super Bowl a couple
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: of years ago, made a couple of horrendous throws won
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: across his body that when they were up thirty one
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: to twenty eight, that was just head scratching at this
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: point in his career. They were to me, they were shaky.
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: The Cowboys. We talked about inconsistent quarterback play out throughout
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: the NFL, and before the game started, about eleven o'clock,
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: the word came out that the Cowboys had signed Dak
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: Prescott to a sixty year a sixty million dollar four
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: year contract. You see why why you know the poor
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: quarter pip play throughout the league. Dak Prescott is good.
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: He was second in the NFL MVP voting last year.
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: And I've always been a defender of Zach Prescott. Dak
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: Prescott as a quarterback. He was fantastic on Sunday, and
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: I thought that I thought the Cowboys are gonna have
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: a little trouble on Sunday. He was fantastic. And Deshaun
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: Watson he looked, he looked like he had like he
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: was one of those rookie quarterbacks. He was clueless. I
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: don't know how good I don't know how good the
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: Cowboys are going.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: I don't want to make a crash joke, but they
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: don't have the massage parlor type of things in Cleveland.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: But I gotta say this, Lou, I find the Browns
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: are picking up the all NFL rejects. Now they have
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: Kadarius Tony, who basically was eggs out from the Chiefs.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: It's very interesting how they're trying to Are they trying
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: to be a rehab of of I don't know exactly,
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: but they do pick up some some rejects and they
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: try and make them stars again.
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: Right, Well, I mean they want to make him a
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: productive player. I mean, Cadarius Tony was never a star.
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: He was a star in the figment of his own
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: imagination and uh and in the media, he was never
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: a star. But he's a guy who has talent. He
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: can run fast, whether it's in a as in a
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: kick return game or as a receiver. So they're going
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: to give him a shot. And why not. I would
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: do the same thing if I if I was looking
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: for a receiver. So you know, we'll see what happens
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: with him. But Washington looked terrible the other day. And
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: Jaden Daniels look like a rookie. I mean, all three
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: rookie quarterbacks who started looked like fish out of water
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: on Sunday. None of them looked like Joe Burrow and.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: He and by the way, you are the one that
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: said look out for how these three these quarterbacks that
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: just got drafted start And I guess we got our
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: answer so far, right.
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: We didn't. And it's not I mean that's mean that
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: they're busts or anything like that. Absolutely not. But Caleb
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: Williams really was poor. But the Bears got a block
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: punt from Jonathan Owens, married to Simon Biles for block
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: punt that he returned for a touchdown, and Will lev Is,
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: still a young quarterback in his second year, just threw
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: a horrendous pass with the Titans still ahead with seven
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: forty to go that was returned for a touchdown and
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: he should have taken the sack and Levis didn't, and
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: he tried to try as he was falling down, tried
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: to make a side on pass that was picked off.
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: And the Bears won a game that they, as they
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: would say in sports, they stole.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: But yeah, but my dad would be happy about that.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, obviously, Caleb, my dad a huge Bear fan.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: So to see them win, at least one of my
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: weekend teams got a W.
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: That yeah, well that's the most important thing. They got
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: to a Dell W and they survived and now advance
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: the next week.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: And on the flip side, I mean, I thought the
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: Titans were going to come out. Yes, they don't have
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: Derrick Henry, but Titans are an interesting team, right, so
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: they're trying to rebuild. Lou speaking of them losing and
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: giving up seventeen points, then of course the game winning
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: pick six Will Levis, I remember when he got drafted.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: There was this huge hooplah, you know, like this, he
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: had this entourage, he had this big party going on
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: when he got drafted. Kind of a disappointing to start
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: for Tennessee. But are we going to expect them to
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: have some of these other games like this because they're
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: in the rebuilding mode? What do you think?
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: Well, I hope they have that on Sunday because that's
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: where the Jets go next.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: So we'll see that. I see that.
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: They have some talent. But again Will Levis, who has
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: an incredibly strong arm and I think could be an
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: NFL quarterback. I'm not sure yet, as with a lot
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: of these guys, but I think he can be.
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: He had some good games last year after he replaced
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: Tannehill Tananehill. As we said, it's still a free agent.
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: But uh, you know, you gotta remember Will Levis. You know,
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: I know I see you on uh TV. You've already
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: you're already doing a Mayo commercial because it's a big
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: Mayo guy. I guess he uh uses Mayo on everything,
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: including dunking it in his coffee. So, uh, you know,
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: we'll see again. Do do these guys redip plus clippings
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: before they've accomplished anything. Now did the Jets redip press
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: clipping was going into the Jets defense reached there, reached
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: their uh redid press clippings before going into the uh
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: game last night. I don't know, Alex, I don't know,
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: and uh so so uh well, we'll see. But these
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: rookie quarterbacks had a tough time. And I'll tell you
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: quarterbacks who didn't impress me. Baker Mayfield is tremendous. I
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: know it's only against the Redskins, excuse me, against the Commanders,
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: but he impressed me. The game on the best game
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: of the week was the Sunday night game between the
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: Rams and the Lions. Both teams are for real.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: Stare for it.
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: I mean he is on a Hall of Fame path
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: golf played that excellent game. Uh both teams are gonna
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: be playing postseason. Patrick Mahomes impressed me. What could you
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: say about Patrick Mahomes? He always he always does, but.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: They have but Mahomes is it. Mahomes is getting a
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: little bit in in a I hate to say lebron
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: esque way with the way he complains about things and
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: his mot his emotion. I don't know, He's just a
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: changed quarterback. He isn't as humble as he used to be,
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: and that's really shocked. I thought he'd stay humble through
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: all the winning. I thought he was gonna be built differently.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: Well, he probably figures that he's earned he's earned the
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: right to to speak and uh, you know, make his
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: feelings known. Obviously, he's he's the face of the league.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: By the way, can you believe that Duke is going
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: to be impacting my whole mood this entire season? I mean,
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: I have Notre Dame has Riley Leonard from Duke transfer
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: and Jones is their esteemed alum, and he's gonna drive
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: me crazy every every every Sunday. I didn't think Duke
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: football would have an impact on my life every week
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: this fall, But here we are.
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: Well, let's talk about the Giant debacle on on Sunday.
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: I did not expect them to play that poorly either,
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: just like I didn't expect the Jet defense to play
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: that poorly. But in the Giants casey, they played poorly
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: both ways, they really did, and I was I was
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: surprised that they played They played that poorly, and uh,
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: you know, it was Dable's first thing game calling the
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: offensive plays, and uh, it was, it was. It was
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: not good. It was, it was not good. There were
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: seven flags on the Giants that took it the first
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: in the first eight minutes of the game. And again
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: that's product of not not playing in the preseason. But
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: h they they couldn't run the ball, they couldn't throw
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: the ball. Their oline really didn't do a terrible job
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: protecting a Jones.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: I mean, so I'm watching this thing, and of course
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: the first quarter they caused the turnover. I think that
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: gave a lot of people hope that this Giant defense
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: caused the fumble. And that was a great play in
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: the Giants in the vikings, you know, Giants red zone.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: I guess the vikings end and you have Jones run
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: it and not try it. I don't know the play.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: I don't say the play calling there. I really don't.
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: Well again, uh, you know, I guess some people are
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: criticizing the fact they didn't go to neighbors more. But
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: you know, I watched most of the first three quarters.
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: But once once I said the game was at hand,
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: there was just so many games on at the same
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: time I got away from it. There weren't a lot
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: of open receivers Alex for Jones, and you look at that,
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: you look at the quarterback on the other side of
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: the of the line, and Sam Darnold. Here's a guy
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: who played a great game on Sunday. Here's a guy
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: who I always thought who was an NFL quarterback. But
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: going back to when the Jets draft of number three overall,
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: they should not have put him behind center right away.
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: He should have been he should have watched maybe for
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: the whole year. They should have got a backup quarterback.
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: The Jets weren't gonna win the Super Bowl out that
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: year anyway, and they put him in and they ruined
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: the kid. And remember they don't have the offensive weapons
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: like they have now. There was no Breeze Hall when
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: Sam Donald was there, or or Garrett Wilson or people
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: like that. He's the Vikings might be the right fit
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: for him. He threw a couple of fantastic passes right
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: on the money, justin Jefferson the touchdown the end zone.
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: I was impressed with Donald, I really was.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: And oh yeah, Darnold actually that one. And of course
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: I was telling my future following Lawn, I said, look,
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: Jefferson's a you know, he was MVP can it last year.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: He's not some random wide receiver. He's good for the Vikings.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: And can you imagine if he connects with Donald like
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: he did with Cousins for a few you know moments
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: there when when Cousins on the team. I mean, look,
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: you have that one to two connection. Vikings could be
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: very dangerous in that NFC North.
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: I think I think the Vikings could be they they
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: could be a fifth or succeed the Lions, barring major injuries,
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: are loaded. I mean, this is a year that they
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: they couldn't be playing on February ninth. They almost did
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: last year. They almost made the Super Bowl. Last year,
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: the Rams excellent, they could have. That was a great
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: game the other night. The Rams will be in the
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: playoffs again, always barring major barring major injuries, I think,
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: you know, you can almost pencil in San Francisco, Detroit,
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: the Rams, even though Phil was shaky on Friday night.
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: I think you can pencil them in. And then you
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: have Dallas next, and then we'll go and see who
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: rises in the AFC. Houston's gonna be real good. You know,
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: Buffalo is gonna be Buffalo because of Josh Allen. The
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: thing that might hurt Buffalo. They would rely so much
• 29:25
  Speaker 4: on him, Alex He's single handedly brought them back in
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: the game that they were losing seventy to three to
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: the Arizona Cardinals and could have he easily lost that game.
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: And leaning on him and he does a lot of running,
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: they gotta be careful there. Pittsburgh tough one out. They
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: are the mental toughness of the Pittsburgh Steels. And we
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: talked about them always being good no matter who they lose,
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: no matter what happens, whether it's through free agency, losing
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: a person, or through through an injury, They're always ready
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: to play and Tomlin always has them ready to play.
• 30:05
  Speaker 4: And in that game against Atlanta, Kirk Coussins looked like
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: a guy who was aware that he was coming back
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: from an Achilles' tendon injury. He looked he looked tentative
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: to me, he really did. I'm sure he'll get better
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: as you know, as the season goes on, but he
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: looked tentative the other night. Just a couple of other
• 30:25
  Speaker 4: things that caught my eye. Only two three hundred yard
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: passes this week, only two. There were seven one hundred
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: yard rushers. But as I was watching a game on Sunday.
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: Everybody was lining up for field goals, not thirty five
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: yard field goals Alex. This weekend, including last night, there
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: were nineteen field goals of fifty yards or more. The
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: kickers have become elite athletes in their own right. Brandon Aubrey,
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: he kicked one from sixty six yards the other day
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: that would have tied the NFL record in Cleveland, and
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: Dallas had a clock violation or else he would have
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: tied the record. NFL analytics and trackers said that the
• 31:18
  Speaker 4: kick would have been good from seventy two yards. If
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: they're gonna start kicking sixty five sixty two yardfield goals
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: fifty eight yard field goals on a consistent basis, this
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: is just my observation in the next five years, the
• 31:32
  Speaker 4: NFL will come up with some kind of rule.
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: I had seen that. By the way, I'd seen that,
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: a sixty seven yarder for Dallas. It's like, how far
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: back from the logo do you want to be?
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: And it worked?
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: He got it? He got it, didn't.
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: He he got it? But Dallas didn't get the playoff
• 31:49
  Speaker 4: in time, So you.
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: Know that, Oh yeah, that's right. They got the McCarthy
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: was furious, right, and.
• 31:56
  Speaker 4: They looked like they would have him kicked a seventy
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: one yard if kickers. Chris Boswell for the Steelers against
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: the Falcons kicked two fifty sevens and a fifty six
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: yard field goal. I mean, in the next five years,
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: is it just me talking? I wouldn't be surprised if
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: they put in some kind of rule to discourage field
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: goal kicking from those distances. I don't know what it is.
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: It's just something that I'm gonna keep an eye on
• 32:30
  Speaker 4: because I mean, you complete complete two passes at the
• 32:34
  Speaker 4: end of the game and start kicking sixty eight yard
• 32:36
  Speaker 4: field goals. Sixty seven yard field goals. I mean, I
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: think that's that's something too to look out there. The
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: most impressive teams, in my opinion were the Niners, the Lions,
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: the Rams in defeat the Buccaneers, even though he were
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: just playing the Redskin, the Commander, and the Cowboys.
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: You know, I think that those games. I just think
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: by the way, I was just thinking of kou who's
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: great kicker for the Falcons. I like what he does
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: too down there in Atlanta. He's solid for them. But no,
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: I just think the first week was a bit of
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: a confusing week in the sense of how big the
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: scores were. I mean, the Saints forty seven points. I
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: don't know if that's gonna be an anomaly or if
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: that's going to be the norm. I don't know if
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: it's going to be the norm. I just felt like
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: we have to wait for another few weeks to see
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: where we are by the trade deadline. Maybe we'll have
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: a better deal. I don't like people writing off the
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: Giants after one week. I don't like people writing off
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: the Jets after one week. I know that people feel
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: like this is a continuation of last year, and maybe
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: in some ways it is, but you know.
• 33:55
  Speaker 4: Well, go in the Jets case, I would be shocked
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: if they if they don't bounce back uh and have
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: a and have a real good season.
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: The bags thinking with the Jets is how strong did
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: Rogers look in the pocket? That's my question because.
• 34:09
  Speaker 4: Obviously I would say I would say he looks very strong.
• 34:12
  Speaker 4: He just didn't get enough opportunities.
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: But that's the thing. If he looks strong, then the
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: Jets are going to be fine. And you know what,
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: we talk about the Italians here because you're a mister
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: proud Italian American lou uh de Vito will have another
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: chance this year if things go south with Daniel Jones. Well,
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: the problem with that is they can't do that because
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: they've locked Jones in to this ridiculous contract. And that
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: is on Joe Shane, isn't.
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: It It is? But again, Joe Shane did put out
• 34:40
  Speaker 4: put it out in that contract. So I doubt if
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: he'll be the Giant quarterback next year. And I'm sure
• 34:48
  Speaker 4: whatever cap hit they gotta take, they will. They have
• 34:50
  Speaker 4: an out to get out of the remaining three years
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: of that deal. I think it's three years of that deal,
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: and they will. They will get out because if you
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: soar Hot Knocks, there was no doubt about the Giants
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: were trying to trade up to to draft another quarterback,
• 35:06
  Speaker 4: to draft to draft.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: And I'm sure that leads a frustration from Jones. You know,
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: he looked.
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: You know, we watched hard Knocks.
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: The other thing, one last thing is off the field,
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill in another incident and he was back out there.
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: It almost it's a little different because Scheffler is not
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: a career you know, a fender and and what I
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: mean by that's three Kills been known to have some
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: trouble with the law, not that Scheffler has, But like Scheffler,
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: he's back out their play. I found that fascinating. He's
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: had he's handcuffed, that he's back on the field. It's
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: amazing how those few hours transpired. Uh it just if
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: you're the Dolphins, how do you handle that kind of character?
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: That's my question.
• 35:52
  Speaker 4: Well, the thing is is how you handle it. After
• 36:00
  Speaker 4: Travis et and fumbled in the end zone, which would
• 36:02
  Speaker 4: have put Jackson Mill up twenty four to seven and
• 36:05
  Speaker 4: probably flinched the game for them, two plays later, two
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: hits Tyreek Hill down the left side line for an
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: eight OFR touchdown pass. Yes they know that he has
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: a pass. Yes, they never know what They might get
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: a phone call at what time. That's something that happened
• 36:24
  Speaker 4: to Hill as far as something no good. But he
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: can play the NFL plays vote him the best player
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: in the league. I disagree with him. Mahomes is the
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: best player in the league. But Tyreek Hill is an
• 36:43
  Speaker 4: MVP candidate all the time. So teams have a way
• 36:50
  Speaker 4: to turn their head when a guy has that much talent.
• 36:54
  Speaker 4: If he was Kadarius Tony he'd be on somebody's practice squad.
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: Well, we kind of rounded out that earlier that the brownsmen.
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: I picked him up and we'll see what they do
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: with them. By the way, speing of the Chiefs one
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: more time, I'm very happy that Taylor Swift is not
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: like the storyline. Now. It's back to football and she's
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: just part of the Chiefs family now. And I think
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: that's the way it should be. It shouldn't be all
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: about the Taylor Swift show. It should be all right,
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: she's supporting Travis. That's the way it should be praised nowadays,
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: because it seems like she's just settled in there with him.
• 37:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I would say so. I mean, I really don't.
• 37:32
  Speaker 4: I don't really care one way or the other. If
• 37:35
  Speaker 4: I was a Chief fan, I just want to see
• 37:37
  Speaker 4: the Chiefs win, and obviously they will and they did
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: the best team in the league along with the Niners.
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: So we didn't get into this Brady's first time behind
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: the mic. I did not get a chance to hear it.
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: What did you think of how he called the game?
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: I thought it was very average. I thought he sounded
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: like a rookie, and I'm not That doesn't mean he
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: can't be a great analyst, but uh, he was for
• 38:01
  Speaker 4: the most part. He wasn't He wasn't a definitive in
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: a lot of his on field opinions. Now, the game
• 38:07
  Speaker 4: wasn't close, so it wasn't like, uh, there was a
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: fourth and one at the end of the game, and
• 38:15
  Speaker 4: should they go for it, should they kick? Should they
• 38:18
  Speaker 4: do this, or should they do that? So there was
• 38:19
  Speaker 4: no strategy opinions that came from from Brady. But I
• 38:27
  Speaker 4: thought he was nervous. I really did, Alex. I thought that,
• 38:31
  Speaker 4: And you know, he's still trying to buy a piece
• 38:33
  Speaker 4: of a Las Vegas Raiders, which if he does, I
• 38:37
  Speaker 4: think will limit some of the things he could say
• 38:40
  Speaker 4: as a color commentation one hundred.
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: I remember when the whole thing with Gruden, why is
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: he hype? You know, Gruden was criticized for sounding like
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: a coach because he wanted to be hired together. He
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: wasn't able to be like the guy to talk to
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: because he was so biased, you know. So it's just
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: it's it is a complic of interest, and I wonder
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: if that'll change even Fox's playing with having him in
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: the booth. I don't know, but I've always I've always
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: thought his postgame interviews with with folks were actually decent.
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: I didn't think he was bad.
• 39:13
  Speaker 4: Oh, I thought he was a good post game.
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: I agree with you, and I just look at you know,
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: the second company in AFC, which is Mahomes. He's a
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: little gruffer with with his post game. I don't know,
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: it's just a little different kind of style. So I
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: was thinking Brady would take the post game Brady into
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: the booth of them, and he might. He's still might,
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: you know, give him all the time.
• 39:34
  Speaker 4: I guess, oh, without without a doubt. I mean without question.
• 39:37
  Speaker 4: I mean ape Ben, who I think is the best,
• 39:42
  Speaker 4: and I think Buck and Aikman as a team are
• 39:44
  Speaker 4: the best team. Aipman didn't get to where he is
• 39:49
  Speaker 4: now when he started in nineteen ninety four, ninety five,
• 39:53
  Speaker 4: whenever that was with Fox. So give Brady a give Brady,
• 39:58
  Speaker 4: give Brady more.
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: As long as and the biggest thing was being of
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: that is going to see how he calls a Patriot game.
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: I'm very curious to see if he's on the Patriot
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: game this year, how he calls that, because we know
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: when Aigman was on the Dallas Cowboys broadcast he always
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: was a homer for them, and he still has a
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: Monday Night football But anyway I.
• 40:14
  Speaker 4: Would I can't agree with that, Alex. I don't think
• 40:17
  Speaker 4: he was a homer. I don't. I really don't for
• 40:20
  Speaker 4: the Cowboys. I don't. That's like saying, is Kenny Albert
• 40:24
  Speaker 4: a homer for the Rangers when he's doing a Ranger game?
• 40:27
  Speaker 4: I don't think so.
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: I did love that Kenny was the first game out
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: at the Giant MetLife save he was there for one
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: hundredth season opener. I mean that would of course Kenny
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: would be there, right. That was cool to see that.
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: So well.
• 40:40
  Speaker 4: A couple of things wrapping up on my end, the
• 40:43
  Speaker 4: new rules. It seems like, at least for week one,
• 40:46
  Speaker 4: they've gone on to these kickers are being instructed by
• 40:50
  Speaker 4: the special teams and the head coach to kick it
• 40:53
  Speaker 4: into the through the end zone. We don't care about
• 40:57
  Speaker 4: this year, losing five extra yards from the twenty five
• 41:01
  Speaker 4: to the thirty. I mean, I did not see a
• 41:04
  Speaker 4: lot of kick returns. And the other thing I did
• 41:08
  Speaker 4: see a couple of uncalled hip drop tackles, one of
• 41:13
  Speaker 4: them in last night's game where Michael Carter of the
• 41:17
  Speaker 4: Jets brought down Juan Jennings and that was a classic
• 41:22
  Speaker 4: hip drop tackle and the officials didn't call it. And
• 41:25
  Speaker 4: Sunday unscramble up the middle Josh Allen, when I was watching,
• 41:31
  Speaker 4: definitely was brought down a hip drop tackle. I don't
• 41:35
  Speaker 4: remember the name it was. I believe the uniform number
• 41:38
  Speaker 4: was thirteen, but I don't remember the guy's name. I
• 41:39
  Speaker 4: was watching multiple games at one time.
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: So, oh, yeah, the red zone and all that fun.
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: By the way, one last and Hansen does a great
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: job with that. But one last thing, Kevin O'Connell's aid. Boy,
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: there's been a lot of penalties this weekend. I guess
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: the refs have to sort that out as well. Hey,
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: one last thing, Lou yesterday Unfortunately the Gudrou brothers had
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: to be, you know, buried. I can't believe we're even
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: talking about this. That's just horrible. What do you remember
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: about Johnny and even Matthew who was in the Islanders organization,
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: and I think he played with the Islanders for a
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: little bit. What do you remember most about those.
• 42:16
  Speaker 4: Two Matthew got to the equivalent of double A two
• 42:22
  Speaker 4: levels from the Islanders. He played in the EHL for
• 42:25
  Speaker 4: the Islanders farm team, and then he played in Europe
• 42:30
  Speaker 4: for a couple of years. I never saw him play.
• 42:32
  Speaker 4: I might have seen him play at Boston College, but
• 42:34
  Speaker 4: I don't remember remember remember him in Boston College. Johnny Goudreau,
• 42:38
  Speaker 4: I mean, was a dynamic offensive player. Two years ago
• 42:42
  Speaker 4: we had one hundred and fifteen points. He was a
• 42:45
  Speaker 4: lady being a winner. He was a dominant offensive player,
• 42:50
  Speaker 4: one of the fastest guys in the league. And the
• 42:53
  Speaker 4: Islanders came very close to signing him two years ago,
• 42:56
  Speaker 4: as did the Devils. I think the Islanders and Devils.
• 42:59
  Speaker 4: I think the Devil's offered the most money, but Columbus
• 43:05
  Speaker 4: must sweeten the pot at the eleventh hour. I really
• 43:07
  Speaker 4: thought he was gonna end up with with the Islands
• 43:10
  Speaker 4: or the Devils. And uh I did see a little
• 43:13
  Speaker 4: bit of the funeral yesterday and it was heartbreaking. I mean,
• 43:16
  Speaker 4: it's heartbreaking. And then at the funeral, his wife makes
• 43:21
  Speaker 4: the announcement that she's pregnant with Johnny and her third
• 43:27
  Speaker 4: third child. I mean, it's just it's just horrific. And
• 43:31
  Speaker 4: Matthew's wife is going to have a baby in December.
• 43:36
  Speaker 4: It's unimaginable. What happened to the Goodreaux family. It's unimaginable, Alex,
• 43:43
  Speaker 4: I don't even know how you rectify it, and in
• 43:46
  Speaker 4: your own mind.
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: All because someone to this and and by the way,
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: Matthew's wife widow now is also pregnant. I mean, how
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: horrible is that to take his own hands that were
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: drunk behind the wheel. I just it's you know what
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: the problem is, lou to be commentary. No one's gonna
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: learn from it. No driver's gonna learn from it, and say, oh,
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: you know what if this could happen, you know, if
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: I see someone else behind the wheel drunk, I should
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: do that. I feel like no one's gonna really learn.
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: They're gonna keep making these mistakes. And it's horrible, but
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: maybe I don't know. You shouldn't drink and drive, that's
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: the whole point. But no one's gonna learn that lesson
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: Ye shouldn't. And I mean we see it every day,
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: whether it's whether it's an athlete, whether it's a regular civilian,
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: whether it's a woman like what happened a couple of
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: weeks ago, driving the wrong way and she had had
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: her license spended fifty six times and she killed her
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: nine year old son.
• 44:45
  Speaker 4: Because of her reckless driving, because she was intoxicated. I mean,
• 44:52
  Speaker 4: she should never be allowed she shouldn't have been allowed
• 44:54
  Speaker 4: to be being behind the wheel ever. Again, what is
• 44:58
  Speaker 4: going on here?
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: But and like it just shows these guys are more
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: than just athletes. They're people too. And that's that's why
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: I hate when I see fans throwing beer on the field.
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: It's like, dude, these people are at their jobs. Okay,
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: we don't go to your job and throw beer at you.
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: You screw up, you know, like it's just and.
• 45:17
  Speaker 4: You're right, Alex. And I guess coming out of MetLife
• 45:19
  Speaker 4: Stadium on Sunday was probably ninety minutes to two hours
• 45:24
  Speaker 4: after the game, there were people Giant fans waiting for
• 45:28
  Speaker 4: Daniel Jones to just to to harass them verbally and
• 45:31
  Speaker 4: goo the man. I mean, Daniel Jones knows the situation
• 45:36
  Speaker 4: that he's in and the Giant team is. He knows
• 45:39
  Speaker 4: he's not the quarterback of the Kansas City Chiefs. So
• 45:43
  Speaker 4: but these fans got gotta let up. I mean, I'm on,
• 45:47
  Speaker 4: I know they pay a lot of money. I understand it.
• 45:49
  Speaker 4: Fifty dollars to park one, hundreds of dollars to sit
• 45:53
  Speaker 4: in MetLife Stadium. I get it, but there's gotta be
• 45:58
  Speaker 4: a little humility to these fans.
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: Well, Loud, thanks so much for joining us today as always,
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: and we didn't have times talk baseball, but that's fine
• 46:07

• 46:09

• 46:13
