  Speaker 1: bond should be. So we're one man band here. So
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: I got a lot going on, a lot to do
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: to get ready for the show. So when you do
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: it all by yourself, you have late on the Twitter
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: stuff and all that. So we'll get that up at
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: some point. But our lead to begin the festivities here
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: we start with the Sunday Night game and all what
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: a Sunday night game it was from Western New York.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you were tuned in. Supposed to
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: be a big matchup made for TV. Couple of AFC
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: heavyweights here, the Bills and the Race going at it,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: scoring up the first Sunday night Island game. You know,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: we love our island games, so let's they suck and
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: then we don't talk about it. But this was a
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: game worthy of conversation. So I don't know if you're
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: watching it or not. So the Bills are not as
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: fun to me. Early in the year, when the weather's
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: okay to watch a Bills game in Orchard Park, like
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: it's got to be nasty weather. When the weather's not
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: that bad. It's like, who cares, It's just not as compelling.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: But the weather was fine, and the Bills taking on
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: the Ravens squaring up, and that was the matchup. And
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: if you did not watch it, you were burned out
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: on football. You missed a doozy. You missed a doozy.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: So Josh Allen putting the team on his back. There
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: he leads the Buffalo football team for three scores, not one,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: not two, but three scores in the final four minutes,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: and it was capped off by a thirty two yard
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: field goal by vagabond kicker Matt Prater, who they made
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: a big deal about the fact that he just joined
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: the team. That's what kickers do. They're not real players.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: They just changed teams all the time. Anyway, Matt Prater
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: gifted a thirty two yard chip shot field goal as
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: time expired. Turn out the last the parties over see
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: you later, that's it, goodbye, And so the Bills rally
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: from fifteen points down, fifteen points down, and they clipped
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: the wings of the once proud Ravens say bye bye,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: see you later, alligator there as the Ravens go down
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: forty one to forty in the season opener, A thriller,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: and somebody do a wellness check on Chris Colesworth. I
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: think he might have had an orgasm in the fourth quarter.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: He was so excited. Oh my god, he was so
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: put your pants up, Chris. It's okay, It's all right, pal. Anyway,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: so Buffalo somehow scores what turned out to be sixteen
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: points in the final three p. Fifty six of the
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: football game, and it was capped off, as we said,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: by the kick by Matt Prater. There but May three
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: hundred and ninety four totally aurds for Josh Allen and
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: the Bills offense, click a lick and couple of touchdown throws,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: a couple of touchdowns on the ground for Josh Allen
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: as the past couple of MVPs in the NFL getting
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: together there and guys that are in the shadow. Let's
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: face it, these guys aren't as good as Patrick Mahomes,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: but you know they're night fun to watch each other
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: play one on one. There only they could do something
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: against the Chiefs in the playoffs, it would be different. Now,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: the better story is in the losing locker room, we
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: talk about losers. We love losers. We live for the losers.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: That's where the story is. Especially the Rivens, like the
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: losers are just more compelling to talk about. They're just
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: better talk radio. Losers always more compelling than winners one
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: hundred percent of the time. There the tragedy is more
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: important than the triumph in a sporting context, and the
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: heartbreak the common denominator the heartbreak for a great story.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: And there's a lot of finger pointing, a lot of
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: finger pointing going on on the Baltimore side of things,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: as it's not very often that you are that incompetent,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: it considered a good team, and you play like El
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Poopo down the stretch of that game. So let us
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: discuss the question did the Bills win this game? Outright?
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Did they take the game? Or was this in case
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: where the Ravens lost the game. And so I've got
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: vending Machine, President Biden, and Global Tour and we will
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: combine all of these things together and we are going
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: to make some Buffalo wings, which were invented in Buffalo.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: The chicken wing. Yeah yeah, chickens didn't have wings before.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: A restaurant in Buffalo, the Anchor Bar, that's right, The
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: chicken did not have wings until the anchor bar in
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Buffalo started serving them. And that's true. I've been to
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: the anchor bar before that. Chickens did not have wings
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: all right. So let us discuss The first thought here
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: is that this was less It was less about Josh
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Allen riding in on a white horse with a cape
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: on to save the day. Josh Allen is here to
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: save the day. No, this it's about Baltimore lighting their
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: own house on fire and getting a full, all inclusive
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: trip on the vomit commet They flat's absolutely right. They
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: did ride the vomit comment. This was such a bad performance.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: When the game was over, the raven fiends were calling
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: billboard lawyers. You know those billboard lawyers who hurt you
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: and they will fight for you. Well, they were contacting
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: those lawyers I know who hurt me. Number twenty two
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: in your program, but number zero in clutch time. That
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: would be the running back for the Ravens, Dereck Henry again,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: number twenty in your program. Number zero when it matters
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: most there for the Ravens. At the end of this game,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Lord hen Lord Henry giveth and Lord Henry taketh away.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: In this game, here one hundred and sixty nine yards
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: and a couple of touchdowns, and then that monstrosity at
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: the end of the game there three ten or so
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: on the clock and bug on the rug, the bug
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: on the rug right, and that Sunday night game the
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Grinch on Christmas Eve. That was Derrick Henry. It'll fumble
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: on the ground there. And so he wanted a snack.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Derrick Henry's like, hey, it's Sunday night. I want to
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: have a nice little snack. So he went to the
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: vending machine and he ended up finding the vending machine
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: of Doom, and he went up there. He put a
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: dollar into the vending machine of Doom, and he wanted
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: a snickers bar. He thought that would be a nice
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: snack at dice delicious Snickers bar, And so he punched
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: in the number on the vending machine of Doom, and
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: for some reason it spit out a butterfinger. And that's
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: what he did. He'd say, you know, I got a
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: butter finger, so I'm gonna give a butterfinger performance. There,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: boom ball on the ground. That's it. It was a
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: three to zh six when the play stopped, three oh
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: six to go on the clock in that game, bug
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: on the rug and Ravens recover. And that's the thing
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: you can't do at the moment. You can't do it
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: for the Ravens. And the Ravens, make no mistake, they
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: had this game in the bag. The game was in
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: the bag. And it bothers me because obviously we know
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: what happened to Bills won the game, and so what
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: ends up happening now is like anytime a team is
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: down by a couple of scores, the cliche and broadcasting
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: at Sportscasters College is, well, let's keep talking about remember
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: that Bill's Ravens game. Yeah, this will not happen again
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: this season. This is it. This is the one, the
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: one off for the entire season that a team chokes
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: as badly and as pathetically as the Baltimore Ravens did
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: in this game. And then that is a flat out
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: choke job by the Ravens. There. Derrick Henry was the
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: if you look around here, all the Ravens had to do.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: I mentioned games in the back. All the Ravens had
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: to do was stroll down the monopoly board and pass
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: go collect two hundred dollars and a nice victory and
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: call it a night. That's it. Go back to Baltimore
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: and hang out with sports with Coleman. But what do
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: they do there? No, Instead, they landed on go directly
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: to jail, Go right to jail, Do not pass, go,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: do not collect squat you get nothing. And Derrick Henry,
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: the prison warden there handing, handing them the orange jumpsuit, saying,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: here you go, boys. It's a nice, big juicy L
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: right there, nice big, delicious L. And so now there
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: will be Some's not his fault. He put up great numbers.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: But okay, these are bad people. These are evil people.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: The people that believe that they're fantasy nerve there losers
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: we need. It's like a disease. We need to cut
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: the disease out people that believe that because listen, forget
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: the snut sheet. I'm not playing fantasy football, all right,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: forget the game plan, forget all that other stuff. Here.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: This was about the E word execution, and they failed.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Most games are lost, not one. Most games are lost,
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: not one. This is a great example. This is a
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: humiliation situation, is what it was. I mean the Ravens fans,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: they got served, and they got served some bad open
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: mic poetry is what they got, roses are red, violets
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: are blue, and I can hold on to a football
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: better than number twenty two. Yeah, wow, tell me I'm wrong. No,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: that was pretty bad. Listen. This was not somehow Buffalo
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: going Rocky Balboa. I don't want to hear that. I'm
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: sure that's already been written somewhere, but that's not my
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: position on this. This was ball more face planting, like
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: the iconic George Costanza back in the day running out
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: of the kid's birthday party fire drill, just about having
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: a melt down there and the bills there. Essentially, this
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: win is like, hey, I found a twenty dollar bill.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: I found a nice twenty dollar bill blowing down the street,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: and yeah, you know you take it. Yeah, maybe you
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: go out and buy some food with it, and you haven't.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: I don't think you can buy a full lunch with
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: that anymore twenty dollars. But you put the money down,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: you buy a little food, and that's it. But you
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: didn't earn it. You know, you found it, you didn't
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: necessarily earn it, per se. And so the w does
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: go to Buffalo, congratulations on that, and the scar tissue
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: goes to the Baltimore football team and l butterfinger wrapper
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: to Derek Henry. Let's hear from the head coach of
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: the Ravens one, John Harbaugh. John, your team just rode
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: the vomit comet. What do you have to say for yourself,
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: Coach Haarbaugh?
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: Or just pointing, We're just gonna have to regroup and
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: get ready to go play a long season. We've got
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: sixteen games in front of us. It's a good football team,
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: tough environment. Obviously, we did many good things, but we
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: didn't play well at the end. Two big situations. The
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: fourth down play, I mean, that's kind of a play
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: that you don't really expect to happen. I mean, it
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: was pretty pretty lucky play, but they made it between
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: the scrambles. Josh Allen played a great game obviously, especially
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: at the end on the fourth quarter to make those plays.
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: Scrambled plays, extended extended completions, and then a couple of
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: big pass plays. So that's it. We're disappointed, but we'll
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: be fine.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: Play like that, you might not have sixteen more games
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: to play. Holy crap, all right now, aside from Derrick
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: Henry and his putting the bug on the rug and
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: that that was a trend around the NFL. I think
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: there's a certain Houston Texans player we can thank for
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: that as well. Anyway, aside from Derrick Henry, who else
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: ends up? Who else ends up eating a piece of
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: the Baltimore Blame crabcakes. Henry's clearly got half the crabcake.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: He's got like the majority of the crab cakes and
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: all that stuff. But you gotta hand Lamar Jackson a fork.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: You gotta hand Lamar Jackson the fourth Lamar gets a
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: doggie bag as well. Oh he's a former MVP. What
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: are you talking about? You didn't watch the game? Ban
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: a shut up Lamar Jackson as guilty as anybody of
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: taking his foot off the gas as well. That's John
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: Harbaugh's strategy to just let up in the fourth quarter
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: of the game was over and all that. They let
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: up on the gas too soon. Though, they let up
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: on the gas too soon, that's the issue here. For
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: three quarters, the Ravens as a team were a well
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: filtered Instagram booty model. I mean, they had a lot
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: going on looking good, right, and then in the fourth
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: quarter that's when it all went to hell. Right. The
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: Henry fumble was brutal, but they roll around there and
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, did he finish the game properly? Let's see here,
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Let's go to the eyeball test and the stats. The
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: eyeball test said no. The stats say no as well.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: He put on cruise control like he was driving Miss
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: Daisy in the fourth quarter there, and turns out that
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: bit him. Fifteen yards passing in the fourth quarter for
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson and a fifty nine passer rating. It was
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: kind of like he was playing Madden but demo mode.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: It was like the demo mode on Madden. He ever
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: done that? Yeah, it's not good, and he just kind
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: of gave the controller back. Now. Meanwhile, Josh Allen in
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: the fourth quarter was doing the electric boogaloo. He was
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: doing the electric slide there for the Ravens right into
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: the end zone. And let's also not not forget here,
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: since we're playing the blame game, let's not forget the
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: Baltimore defense. Let's not take them off the hook here.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: The Baltimore defense was ooey gooey and then went kabbouie.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: They just went kubed blue kab blue kablue. At the
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: end of that game, they gave up two hundred and
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: sixty four yards and twenty two points in the fourth quarter.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: Tell me you saw defense without telling me the second events.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: Didn't they spend a bunch of money on defensive players,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: improving the secondary in Baltimore? Wasn't I told that? Where
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: was that? Oh? I guess they'll play well against the
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns, though they'll do very well against the Cleveland Brons.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: That's good. Okay, So they'll play well against them. That's good,
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: all right. Against the Bills, not so much. That was
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: not defense that the team from Baltimore played. That was
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: an open borders policy, is what that was. And somewhere
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: former President Biden is very proud of the way the
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills approached that, and the Ravens defensively approached that
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: because it was like, come on, fellas, come on in here,
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: take the end zone, take yourselves, make yourselves at home,
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: settle right in. The Ravens opening the door here, no
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: resistance at all, borderless end zone for the Baltimore Ravens.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: Tremendous here, and the secondary wide open. Kind of like
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: when you get to Costco if you get there early
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: before the rush on a Saturday and there's Costco samples
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: and if you get there early enough before the rush boom,
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: you're in as many samples as you wants. Way to go, man,
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: And we heard the salway from John Harball, the Ravens
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: head coach. Here he was just standing there. It appeared
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: based on my television I was watching the game, and
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: what I saw was John Harbaugh standing there. He had
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: his headset and a guy he was trying to return
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: something like a TV or something that was broken. He's
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: getting no answers from the desk. And that was it.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: And so there you go. And there'll be people said, well,
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: you just don't you don't know ball, but Lamar Jackson
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: had a great stat line and all that, just like
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: Derrick Henry. And of course my response is always whoopie
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: damn doo. That's my response on that. And games generally
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: are decided in the fourth quarter. That game should not
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: have been decided in the fourth quarter. You have a
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: fifteen point lead, you should be very comfortable. They were
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: not very comfortable in that position. You should have been
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: very comfortable there in that position. So down the stretch
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: it was a game we call crazy eights or in
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: this case crazy eight as Derrick Henry, Yeah, Derek Henry
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: holding he was already holding the scarlet letter card. And
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: then Lamar he drew another eight, and the defense for
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: the Ravens they were playing and they struck with the draw.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: Four game over is what they had there. So hand,
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: everyone at the table, everyone gets a crab cake and
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: they all stink. And we talk about absolutely setting the tone,
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: and they set the tone. They all blew it. Henry Lamar,
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: Henry the most Lamar, and that defense defense could have
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: picked up the slack that was, who's at your dinner
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: table right there eating crabcakes? The blame crabcakes now quick right,
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: all right? Last word here? So how encouraging? We'll go
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: to the winners locker room. How encouraging is this performance
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: and victory for Josh Allen and the Buffalo football team.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: A team that's been lurking around in contender status, but
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: a Fox contender. They find new and creative ways to
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: choke in big games. So this is not a big game.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: It's a regular season game. And how big could it be?
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: It's I mean, we're sitting here talking in September. The
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: season will go all the way through end of December
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: and then January the playoffs in February, the Super Bowl
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: and all that. So how encouraging. This is the daily double.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: It is the daily double. Here you get the one
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: to oh record for the Bills. Check that box. So
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: you're one to zero and you have more importantly, the
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: game in hand, the head to head, assuming that the
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: Ravens don't completely fall off the map this year, you
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: have the hand in hand with the Ravens AFC bragging
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: rights if it comes down to Buffalo and Baltimore at
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: the end of the year. And Buffalo, to their credit,
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: played until the final whistle, unlike the Ravens who had
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: the lead and gave up. And that is a gutless
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: performance at the end of that game by the Baltimore evens,
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: the Bills, to their credit, did not play like that.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: They went right until the end. But I would not
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: get too excited though, if I'm a Buffalo Bill fin
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: based on this win, because you were getting your ask
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: for the vast majority of that game and a fluky
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: thing does not change the fact that for the balance
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: of that game you could not match up with the
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens offensively. The Ravens lost this game because of
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: more self inflicted wounds. It wasn't anything the Buffalo Bills did.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: It was what the Ravens did to cost themselves this game.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: Baltimore had been manhandling, absolutely manhandling the Bills dollar general defense.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: In this game, Ravens scored on seven of the first
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: eight possessions, seven of them including not one, not two,
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: three to nine, four, but five touchdowns. So Buffalo's defense
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: ready to go on a global tour as a matador.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: Holy holy yeah, bullfighting baby. In this case, they actually
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: won though Ravens averaged eight point six yards per play
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: and lost. How do you do that? They averaged nine
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: point two yards per pass, eight point two yards per
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: run and still lost the game. Now, in a positive note,
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: the Bills have some time to work out their defensive frailties.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: They have the hostess schedule coming up. They play the Jets,
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: that's pretty much a guaranteed win. They play the Dolphins,
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: and then they also play the Saints. Those last two
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: games at home, two of what figured to be the
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: worst teams in the NFL this year, the Dolphins and
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: the Saints. That's Cupcake City.

  Speaker 1: dot com, the Way Tire Buying showbet so our lead
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: this hour is from Jersey. We start in New Jersey.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: That is where the traveling circus of the Pets, Steelers
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: the Yinsers made their way to the Garden State Board.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: What a long trip unless it's not playdate with the
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: Jet Suck Suck suck, So they went at it out.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: If you saw this game or not, if you were
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: watching this game, the Steelers quarterback Aaron Rogers had not one,
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: not two, not three, but four touchdown passes. I didn't
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: play in the NFL, so I know Ryan Clark probably
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: doesn't value my opinion, but I think that's actually pretty good.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: I think that's pretty good. Four touchdown passes as he
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: beats his former team. Now, following the win, Aaron Rodgers now,
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: he said it was satisfying to beat the Jets. He
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: was asked specifically about the coach, Aaron Glenn, who apparently
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: treated him like a douche and rather lean me just
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: read the quote, why don't we go to Aaron Rodgers himself.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: Here's Aaron Rodgers reacting on how sweet it is to
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: beat your former team mytory. All right, apparently we don't
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: have that. Well, Rogers said, I was happy to beat
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: everybody associated with the Jets. He did not specifically name Aaron.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: Glenn In said SoundBite which I thought we had, but
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: we don't. So let us discuss the question can you decode?
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: Can you decode this message from Aaron Rodgers on beating
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: everybody associated with the Jets. He wouldn't just specifically name names.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: He just said a wide with a wide rush, beating
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: everybody associated with Jets. My observations, I've got Hawkeye, Caprice, Sons,
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: and Ikea, and we will combine all of these things
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: together and we're gonna make you're Babushka's favorite falafel is
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: what we're going to make. So number one, so this
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: one is rather straightforward, rather straightforward. So Aaron Rodgers, he
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: decided to serve up a cuisine. It was a revenge
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: cuisine for the world to see you. Of course, whoever
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: had won this game, the story would have been, that's
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: the story. But Rogers did not just burn the bridge.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: At his age, he ain't gonna be trying to get
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: a job from the Jets again. He wants nothing to
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: do with the only Jets he wants are the ones
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: at the airport. He wants nothing to do with the
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: football Jets. So Rogers is fine burning that bridge, burn
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: baby burn right, Nate bombed and paved it over and
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: built the raising canes on top of it. Is what
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: he did with the Jets and the jets itis and
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: all that stuff, the Jets and and so Rogers took
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: his old team, the team that wears green there, and
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: he took them down to Baskin Robbins and he handed
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: them thirty one flavors, thirty one flavors of humiliation. Unable
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: to stop a forty plus year old ayahuasca drinking Joe
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: Rogan podcast, Buddy Quarterback, What uh that is a payback attack,
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: is what that is? That's the flavor payback attack. So
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: the Jets ordered a scoop of pride. We want pride.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: It's all about the pride and all that. And Aaron
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: Rodgers gave them instead of a little rocky road. He said,
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: you're gonna have a little rocky road. And you got
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: your just desserts is what you got. You got you
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: just deserts there. Now Rogers is forty one. But against
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: the Jets. This was a hot tub time machine game.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: He went back and you know, maybe not hot top
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: time machine. Howbought back to the future Doc Brown. Maybe
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: Doc Brown was there somewhere, and he got right into
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: the DeLorean and went back to what twenty eight age
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: twenty eight Aaron Rodgers twenty nine, somewhere around there in
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: Green Bay. It was vintage Aaron Rodgers. Back in his
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: days at lambeau Field, MVP level quarterback play did not
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: have a gazillion passing yards. However, he was here's a
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: dated reference. Hawkeye Piers. There used to be show called
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: mash It's on reruns if there are such a thing.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: But this guy, Hawkeye Piers a surgeon and he had
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: not a football. He had a scalp scalpel in his hands,
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: and he surgically sliced up the Jets in the red zone.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: These Steelers were three for three, three trips inside. The
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: twenty three touchdowns for the team from Pittsburgh was clean.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: It was precise, no wasted motion there. And Aaron Rodgers
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: treating Aaron Glenn. Treating Aaron Glenn. He's so called. Remember
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: he was the defensive coach. He was not the offensive coach.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: He was the defensive coach of the Lions. So you
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: got a defensive guy, you figure, all right, we're gonna
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: be able to slow down Rogers a little bit. He's old,
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: he's washed up. Aaron Glenn wanted nothing to do with
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. Aaron Glenn determined, for better or worse, that
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers had cooties, he had the ick factor. Wanted
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: nothing to do with and he took another suckbag quarterback instead.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: But he's younger, so younger suck over older suck That's
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: the Jets mantra. We'd rather have younger suck bag than
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: old suck bag. They went younger suck back, and then
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: to watch that happen and Aaron Glenn and that Jets defense,
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: they it was like working at a sub shop somewhere
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: and it's closing time and you're out of bread and
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: people are coming in there. Well, I don't have any
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: bra I can't make you a sandwich. I don't have
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: any bread. There's no bread now, Pittsburgh. They didn't need
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: the gaudy stats because if you look at the overall
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: offensive stets, if you're just a stat humper, oh it
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: wasn't that impressed. So he's scoring a lot of points,
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: but they didn't have the stats. Okay, I can't help you.
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: I can't help you. The Jets thought they were done
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: with Aaron Rodgers obviously on this day on Sunday, they
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: were not done with Aaron Rodgers. There. They thought they
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: had moved on. Instead, they got reminded that you do
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: not you do not break up with Aaron Rodgers. Aaron
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: Rodgers breaks up with you, and that's over with. He
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: punked them. There's no other way to say it. And
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: he said, well, if this guy had cut that, yes,
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: it would have been different. Okay, I know, and we
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: can make the old joke about twigs and berries all
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: you want and all that stuff, but listen, he was
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: terrible when he played for the Jets. He no longer
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: plays with the Jets, and all of a sudden, Aaron
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: Rodgers is back back in the catbird seat yet again,
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: at least for a week now. Whether that continues or not,
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: who knows. Rogers delivered the sweet taste of revenge, the
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: flavor of revenge there, and it was a double double
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: scoop Sunday with little sprinkles on top. There they had
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: the sprinkles and it was only green sprinkles. Though it's
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: very odd that he only put green sprinkles out there.
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: And that was it. Now the other part of this
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: to the Jets and the Jets side of things. So
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: he had quarterback Justin Fields, and he went viral for
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: something he said after the game. Justin Fields stood up
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: there at the Dais the podium after the game, and
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: Field's had a good stat line. So if you played
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: fantasy football, you're probably pretty excited about that. You don't
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: care about who wins and loses. You're a loser and
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: so you don't care about that. So anyway, Justin Fields
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: went out there and he stood up at the podium
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: after the game. He kind of pumped his chest out
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: a little bit, had good stats, just lost the game.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: Talked about how his former team, the Steelers, had added
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: a couple of future Hall of famers to their roster
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: on defense, and yet the Jets put up thirty two
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: points from Justin Fields. He said, did He was going
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: on and on about it. He was very proud of
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: the fact that they scored a lot of points. He
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: did the whole you didn't think we could do it,
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: which is both quarterbacks because Aaron Rodgers said something similar
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, Well, people thought I couldn't do this anymore. Well,
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: the same thing goes, the same thing goes for Justin Field.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: Justin Fields is like, hey, listen, you didn't think we
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: could do this. There is a bit of a difference
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: on this which is rather obvious. So does this performance
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: a statistically solid game passing the football. We've been very
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: behind these microphones about Justin Fields and his ineptitude at
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: throwing the football. We've been right. He was good in
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: this game throwing the football. So does this count as
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: a breakthrough performance for Justin Fields? His first start as
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: a jet So I am shaking my head no on this.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: I'm going no on this. Uh So, I would like
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: at some point, I know we're early on and we've
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: got a lot of football to go, but I would
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: like to at some point when I become king of
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: the world, convince people, convince people that this means nothing,
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: because it does. But it's called an impressive loss, is
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: what it is, right, That's what it wassive. It was
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: an impressive loss, and it doesn't exist where you or
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: you've turned things around statistically because you had good stats,
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: but you lost the game and they don't. And maybe
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: they'll change this. I think the way society is going,
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: eventually we'll get to that point where they just hand
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: out orange slices and you get a caprice son and
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: it's like eighth grade and everybody gets a trophy and
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: a little star, little puffy sticker near their name, and
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: it's very exciting. Right now, they don't do that, maybe
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: they will be wonderful. They don't do that right now.
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: So they don't give you a medal or an atta
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: boy for trying. They don't, and you don't get a
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: pat on the head for putting up a lot of
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: points but your team lost. Okay, that's justin Fields. So
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: the NFL, generally speaking, is a zero sum game. One
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: team is going to have a nice steak dinner and
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: the other team will be licking crumbs off the plate.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: And that's kind of how that goes there. But Fields
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: has an amazing ability and I will give him credit
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: for this. So on a day where Justin Field's put
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: up statistically his finest performance as an NFL quarterback, and
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: yet he goes out there he just oozes with confidence,
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: even though he is one of the more average to
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: below average quarterbacks in his time in the NFL. But
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: he does not realize that. He's apparently obtuse to the
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: fact that he is that. And so this was cringeworthy
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: is a word I will use here, Like the jumbo
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: tron does not lie atop the stadium. There, the scoreboard,
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: the stats are for losers, all that mantra and all
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: that stuff. But when the other teams celebrating at the
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: end of the game and they're running into the tunnel
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: because they've won the game, and you're standing at the
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: podium and you're talking about essentially moral victories, That's what
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: it sounded like, based on what I heard. That is
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: the definition of a loser. DNA is what that is.
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: You are announcing to the world without announcing to the world,
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: you're a loser, is what you're doing. And so that's
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: what Justin Field chose to do. I didn't tell him
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: to do that. I don't think you told him to
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: do that. He chose to do that. I don't he
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: chose to take a victory lab But you guys didn't
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: think we could do this or don't but you lost
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: the game. You literally went out there and Fields is
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: bragging like he ran a marathon, but he actually ubered
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: the last ten miles to get to the finish line.
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: Here it's at fumble Ruskie, Fumbo Ruski on the talkie
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: for for justin fields there. So you either win or
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: if you don't win, you're the other guy. That and
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: that's it. And so you're the other guy here on
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: state sponsored NFL network highlights. They lumped them all in
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: there and the highlight montage and you're you're somewhere in there,
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: and that's that's that. That's that all right. Now, final
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: part of this. We now go to Miami, Miami, Miami,
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: and it turns out reports of the demise and the
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins were not inaccurate. Holy crap, do they suck?
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: Did you see this? No? How low can you go?
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: Miami Dolphin foot they are garbage. They are Holy moly.
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: Had all off season to get ready, right, they decided,
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: I don't want to get rid of Tyreek Hill. We want
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: to keep Tyreek Hill. We want to keep the band together.
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: So the Miami Dolphins went out there and they were
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: turned into sushi by the Indianapolis Colts. There's no other
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: way to say it. Here. It was a blowout, never
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: in the game, never competitive in the game. So how
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: are things looking? How are things looking for? Dolphins coach
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: Mike McDaniel. All right, at this point, Mike McDaniel, So
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: what we witness now? I was flipping. I had the rotation.
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: Since the Red Zone decided to add commercials, I'm done.
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: Not that I really watched it anyway. I was kind
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: of made my own red zone thing. Anyway, It's better
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: that way. It keeps you active. Your right hand gets
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: a workout when you're using the remote control, flipping from
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: game to game because you got to have I got
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: my laptop. Some people use their phones, but you got
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: to look at the scores. He was in the red zone?
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: Who's driving? And then you can flip from game to
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: game to game to game to game. But as far
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: as how are things looking for Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel,
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: what we witnessed was the Dolphin franchise, all of them.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: They were stripped down to their skivvies and then they
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: for the whole football world, they were pants. Everyone saw
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: their under rus everyone saw it right there. And Indie
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: did not just beat Miami. And it's not like the
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: Colts are supposed to be a good team. But Inny
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: did not just beat Miami. They emasculated Miami in this game.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: It was never in the game and it was essentially
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: the Dolphin team that showed up. It was like sending
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: a shitsu to fight a pit bull. Now we know
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: how that's gonna end up, and the shitsu's a nice
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: appetizer for the pit bull, a blood bath. And the
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: numbers back up what appeared to be going on here,
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: what appeared to be going on. The Colts racked up
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: four hundred and eighteen yards, four hundred and eighteen yards
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: of offense. They doubled, They just about doubled the Dolphins
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: in every way. Miami had two hundred and eleven yards
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: of offense, twenty seven first downs to twelve first downs,
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: And it read not like a box score. It was
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: like an obituary. For one game season, Miami has been
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: eliminated from playoff consideration. See you later, turn out the last.
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: The party's over for the Miami Dolphins. There Mike McDaniel,
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: who's already been sitting on a hot seat. Mike McDaniel, Right,
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: he's already been on a hot seat, McDaniel, And with
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: everything's been going on around him and whatnot, and so
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: he's got a lot of carry on baggage, a lot
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: of carry on baggage, kind of like a comedian bombing
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: on stage. And it's like the first two minutes, but
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: you got a fifteen minute set, you haven't even gotten
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: your first punch line. That's essentially Mike McDaniel with the
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins and now Miami. They went out and they
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: validated the Miami Dolphins. That was a valid situation. The
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: Dolphins validated every doomsday, every doomsday prophecy, like they were
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: reading from the book of Nostradamus. And maybe they've met
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: the friend. You know, I'm a friend of No Stredenis.
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: Of course, maybe they've met No streudenas he lives in Seattle.
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: But this was an indie domination situation, plain and simple.
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: And that's it. Not that complex. The Dolphins effort, that's
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: the thing. That was a piece meal effort. That was
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: a team that looked like they thought they had something
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: else they wanted to do, but they had to work
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: and they didn't really want to work, and it was
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: like it was a Sunday and they didn't want to
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: work on Sunday. But your football player as supposed to
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: work on Sunday, but I don't want to work on
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: Sunday if something else I want to do. But your
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: job is to literally work on Sunday. But I don't
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: want to do that. And that's how they played, right,
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: That's how they played. And Tua Tua suckamalala wow coughed
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: up a hairball big enough, big enough to clog the
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: toilets at the Dolphins Stadium. That's how big the hairball
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: was that he coughed up in this game. Man, not
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: one but two picks. Now one was at the end
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: of the game there, but also a fumble gifting the
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: Colts seventeen points. Seventeen points directly off klutz plays by
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: Tua Tongue Bailoa. And the word is nutnick, What a
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: nut nick? And meanwhile, the defense, what defense supposed to
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: be a sturdy backbone for the Miami football team. They
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: allowed Danny Dimes. We'll talk more about him later, but
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: Danny Dimes to carve them up like a hibachi chef.
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: Just chop chop chop, chop, chop, chop, chop chop chop.
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: Jumpt Man and Daniel Freakin Jones You've gotta be kidding me.
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: What is that? He doesn't even play with the lowest
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: level of Madden. He still blows on. And he went
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: out against the Miami Dolphins, plasably a real football team,
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: and shoved it down their dolphin beak, is what he did. Man,
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: looks like Andrew Luck out there. Maybe he'll quit like
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: Andrew Luck quit a couple of years back. But it's
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: a total malfunction by the Miami Dolphins defensively. And it
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: was kind of like you build something like you go
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: to Ikea and you buy a bookshelf from Ikea, and
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: you get the thing up, you put books on it,
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: and then after a few minutes you thing starts falling
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: apart because you skip a screw and the whole thing
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: comes tumbling down here. And by the fourth quarter of
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: the whole roof had collapsed on the Miami Dolphins, and
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: they were they were swimming with the dolphins, which is
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: generally not not what you're looking to do there, and
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: they were drowning. They were being anchored to the bottom there.
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: And Mike McDaniel, it's never too early, Mike. It's always
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: easier to find your next job while you have your
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: current job. So I may I recommend polishing up the
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: old resume, embellishing the resume you want might want to
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: leave this out of the resume and go down find
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: a hipster coffee shop. Could you see Mike McDaniel being
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: as like a barista at a coffe shop or working
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: a morning show at NPR, all snotty and the elitist
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: at an NPR morning show. I could totally see that, right,
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: and he'd likely be better. Give him some oat milk
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: and give himim a microphone and there you go.

• 41:22
  Speaker 1: How about that?
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: To the third degree, this is one big event.
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: Gets grilled all right? Coop Helloop coop a loop.
• 41:32
  Speaker 5: So the Longhorns had a blowout win over San Jose
• 41:35
  Speaker 5: State on Saturday, Arch Many, had nearly three hundred passing
• 41:38
  Speaker 5: yards and four total touchdowns. Do you think Texas fans
• 41:41
  Speaker 5: can breathe a sigh of relief?
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: Yes, because there are rumors that the SEC is going
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: to add the Spartans of San Jose State to the Conference.
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: So There's really nothing to worry about because Texas will
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: play San Jose State every single year in the Southeastern Conference.
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: Nothing to worry about there. Now, of course that was
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: a money game. It the USC played Georgia Southern or
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: something like that. I don't even know where that. I
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: know it's in Georgia, but I've never heard last school.
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: This is the period of time teams play Tomato cans.
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: So we've determined that arch manning against a crappy opponent
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: is pretty good. Against a good opponent, He's pretty crappy.
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: Next until proven otherwise. That's the way it is. Next.
• 42:21
  Speaker 5: It was announced over the weekend that Jalen Carter will
• 42:23
  Speaker 5: not be suspended for spitting on Dak Prescott.
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: Benny think that's the right decision. Well, it's disgusting to
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: spit a nice juicy loogie on another human being. You
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: should not do that. A fine is fine. Now if
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: he keeps doing it, like maybe that guy in the
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: Boston Bruins that was licking people's faces, he said, then
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: he start suspending something. But yeah, one time, I'm okay,
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: not him not getting suspended. Next.
• 42:44
  Speaker 5: Cal Rawley is now at fifty three home rounds on
• 42:46
  Speaker 5: the season the Big Dumper, and it has people wondering
• 42:49
  Speaker 5: if Aaron judges Ale single season record of sixty two
• 42:51
  Speaker 5: is in jeopardy.
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: Oh, man, do you think he can get there? Ben?
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: Well can't? The math, Yes, he can get there. He'd
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: have to have an amazing ten days or so, because
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: there's only a few weeks in the baseball It's like
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: three weeks or whatever in the regular season. In baseball,
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: it's it's almost over. It's almost all gone. So he'd
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: really have to crank it up. So I'm gonna say, no,
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: the math, he can. I'm gonna bet against cal Raley. However,
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: even with that low batting average, he's right there neck
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: and neck for the MVB. How did we know he passes?
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: I won the game, hollering, James, I won.

• 43:51
  Speaker 1: away we go the incent advice on who needs our advice?
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: And I could give advice to the Baltimore Ravens who
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: gagged as sixteen point lead or fifteen point lead they're
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: late in the game to the Baltimore or Baltimore losing
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: to the Bills. But instead I'm gonna go with Miami Dolphins.
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: The Dolphins playing a mid level Indianapolis Colts team somehow
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: ended up falling behind thirty to nothing to the Indianapolis
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: Colts and Daniel Jones and the Colts ended up doubling
• 44:23
