• 2:48
  Speaker 1: we settle into a busy night, and we begin with
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: the Monday night football game and a memorable game. Not
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: a great game, well, I mean if you like turnovers,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: it was close. The game went to overtime in the
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Hood and Inglewood and up to no good. The Birds
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: the reigning champions of the NFL and not playing like
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: it right now. No, they're not the bright lights of
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Monday night football. The La Power Company was hosting the
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: team from Philadelphia, and Joe Bock Troy Aikman were there.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: They had the call on ABC, So I don't saw
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: a game or not if we're watching. I was at
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: the game for a good chunk of it. Had to
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: leave early to get here. It's my duty to the
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: American people to come in here do sports talk. So
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: I couldn't be stuck in traffic. But Cameron Dicker, the kicker,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: had to go ahead fifty four yard field goal. He
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: ended up kicking five field goals in the game. And
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Tony Jefferson, who well, he intercepted on a tip pass
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts the one yard line and that lifted the
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Chargers to a twenty two to nineteen victory over the
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: free falling Philadelphie Eagles. What a bunch of chumps the
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Eagles are, and it was somewhat enjoyable to see the
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: very braggadocius Eagle fan base who looked a little numb
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: the way that Jalen Hurts was playing in this particular game. Now,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: the better story is in the losing locker room, and
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: so that is where we're going to go. Jalen Hurts
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: had to be kind a clunker, a clunker for the
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: ages for Jalen Hurts, who threw not one, not two,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: not three, but four four interceptions and the Eagles committed
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: five turnovers in the game. Jalen Hurts said the two
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: for one. We'll get to that coming up in a minute.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: And here is the man of the hour, though, start
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: with Jalen Hurts. Here on the overtime, the Eagles had
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: gotten into field goal range, there was a penalty on
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: the Chargers on a fourth down play that extended the
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: drive for Philadelphia, which set up the interception and the
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: final blow, the final body blow, body blow. Here is
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts on what a night for intercession. Let's talk
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: about that last one.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: I knew it was going to be a tight window throw.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: I'd have to watch the film to see it from
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: the eyes film's point of view. Ultimately, it's a play
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: that I didn't make. You got to handle the ball
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: That's a play that we've made a million times in
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: that scenario versus a cloud corner, and I didn't make
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: that play this time around.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Yes, you did not make that play. So the reigning
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl champions lose their season worst third in a row.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: They are just three games above five hundred. Now, the
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: good news is they're in the right division. The Giants
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: aren't trying the Commander's blow and the Cowboys suck, so
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: they're in a good division. There's no one else who's
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: even competing with them, so they've got that going in Philadelphia. However,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: it doesn't change the fact that Eagles are a total
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: fraud in terms of being a Super Bowl content. Does
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: anyone disagree with that? Like, at this point we do
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: the show today, we have to worry about the show
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: right now, we do the overnight show at this moment.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Is there a bigger pretender than the Philadelphia Eagles in
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: terms of actually winning anything the way they are right now?
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: My god?
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: All right, but let's focus in and it's good jumping
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: off play. Let's focus in on the quarterback though, and
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: let's discuss the question, what is Jalen Hurts play? What
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: is the smell around Jalen Hurts, Like, let's break it
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: down like that, right, what's Jalen Hurts play smell like
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: for the Eagles. So my thoughts on this, I've got
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: John Madden, Gator, and spicy margarita, and we will combine
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: all of these things together and we are going to
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: put the biscuit in the basket. So a, the smell
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: surrounding Jalen Hurts is a pungent smell. It's punging it up.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: It's so strong it's actually peeling the paint at the
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: link in Philadelphia's that bad. The paint's peeling down. It
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: smells so bad. And this was a masterpiece of malfunction.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: And I'm happy I got to see something I've never
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: seen before that we're not sure has ever happened before,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: and it happened on a Monday night game here. But
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: before we get to that, when I say that Jalen
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Hurts went out there and had a masterpiece of malfunction,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: it was a performance so historically awful it deserves its
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: own wing at the loof across the Atlantic there. It
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: just deserves its own spot in the museum. And forget
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Van goll and the da Vini and all the greats
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts in this Monday night game was Jackson Pollock.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: He was splattering turnovers in the air every way right
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: across the gridiron like a man who was playing possessed
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: by the spirit of abstract incompetence. That was Jalen Hurts
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: in this game. And you saw the play in particular
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: was interception, fumble, recovery and then fumble on the same play.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: John Madden, if he were still alive, the ghost of
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: John Madden would call that the turnover. Tourducan is what
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: that was. That was a turnover to duccan. You got
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: the interception, you get the recovery, and then you get
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: the fumble. That's the Turducan of turnovers for Jalen Hurts.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Congratulations the rare double giveaway. The rare double giveaway on
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: one play. And the nerds claim that their data goes
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: back to nineteen seventy Apparently nothing happened before nineteen seventy eight.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Everything after nineteen seventy eight. They have no recorded history
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: of anyone sucking that much on one play like Jalen Hurts.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: And that's not quarterback play, mind you, that's finger painting
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: while on a dumb ball ride at Disney World is
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: what that was? Now Hertz who has gone recently from
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: the afterglow of the Super Bowl MVP to the LVP
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: as in lost Value Player. That's Jalen Hurts right now,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: the LVP, the lost Value Player, and he's strapped right
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: in that cockpit of the Vomit comet and he's on
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: a full comic Kazi mission with that Philadelphia Eagles offense
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: right now. And this is not just a one night
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: stink bomb. As we know. We've been documenting here. We
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: have a talk show to do every day, and we
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: come in here and the Eagles are good for business
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: because they won the Super Bowl. They're supposed to be
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: good and they're underachieving and so it's always fun to
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: talk about teams like this, and they are really living
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: up to the suck mantra in Philadelphia. So the last
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: five games, I mean, that's a good sample size. Is
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: that fair? That's fair? You're shaking her, Yeah, that's fair.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: So last five games, Jalen Hurts has a seventy two
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: point three passer rating. He's averaging six point four yards
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: per pass, completing less than sixty percent of his passes.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: Despite running a rudimentary Eagles offense. And he's got five
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: interceptions now and three fumbles. And that's the way it's
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: going for Jalen Hurts. And so that's not really a slump,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: mind you. That's a five alarm football funk, is what
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: that is for Jalen Hurts. And remember in the NFL,
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: there is no rest for the wicked. So right back
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: at it again for Jalen Hurts, although the competition does
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: soften going forward. Now page two, let's talk about the
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: leadership vacuum in Philadelphia here, and there's a there's a
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: theme to the Eagles as they continue to have their
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: issues here. And the question is do you have any
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: confidence as an outsider, do you have any confidence that
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: Nick Sirianni can stop the bleeding of the birds? Do
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: you have any confidence of that that day he can
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: get it done? There? So I'm gonna go nope on that.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: That's nope for those of you who don't have to
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: spell nope. Zero confidence. And I don't know how anyone
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: can have confidence. The Eagles had a similar free fall
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: I think it was twenty twenty three. They never got
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: out of it, they never were able to stop it,
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: and Sirianni was the head coach of that team. The
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Eagles right now are like the USS Gerald R. Ford.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: They are an aircraft carrier, and they're very difficult to
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: turn around. Those aircraft carriers. It's like they're drifting sideways
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: in the Delaware River right now. And Nick Sirianni is
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: standing on deck on the aircraft carrier and he's waving
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: pom poms, and instead of grabbing the wheel and trying
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: to turn, he's on, we're fine, Oh we're good. I
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: love these guys. Oh they're so good. Let's play rock
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: papercis is what do you say? Okay, why not? We'll
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: play rock paperci Uh? Fine, So you don't turn around
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: the aircraft carrier by saying let's go right into the
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: headset that doesn't work. Here is Nick Sirianni on the
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: four interception game for Jalen Hers. This here what Sirianni
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: had to say on this.
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: This game is the ultimate team game. So it's all
• 12:35
  Speaker 5: it's never you know, it's never just on one person. Ultimately,
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: he always has the ball in his hands, and I
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: know he'll he'll wear a lot of that and own
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: that and and I got to do a better job
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: of helping them in those scenarios. Again, it's always it's
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: never just on execution, right, It's it's always that we
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: look at ourselves as coaches first and we help them
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: be in position to succeed and then execute right. So
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: obviously now want to turn the ball over. We've been
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: pretty good at that, and tonight was a little uncharacteristic
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: of ourselves.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: So there's a couple of things here that are classic
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: deflection moves. Jalen hurts in the soundbock we played, So
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: I gotta watch the tape. That's a classic. I'm not
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: answering the question. I'm gonna say, I'm gonna watch the tape.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: You'll never ask me about it again, or when you
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: ask me about it again, i'm gonna say, well, we've
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: moved on to the next game. And then the it's
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: never on one guyline from Sirianni, when yeah, kind of is.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: That's why the quarterback gets paid ten times with the
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: other players get it's on him, so you can say
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: whatever you want. It's a team game and all that. Well,
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: the team games are lost by individuals, and Sirianni is
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: a show pony. He is a show pony. He's a
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: sideline cheerleader who thrives when the wind is at his back.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: And when the wind changes and the storm hits, all
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: of a sudden, the high tides and the birds they
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: start leaking oil, and all of a sudden, Syrianni does
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: a costume change and he becomes a gator. The inflator
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: Gator is Nick Sirianni. As he pumps air into every
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: minor issue, does not solve anything. And then it becomes
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: a full blown circus balloon. And that's the Eagles, and
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: it says, literally blocking the highway there, it's blocking Broad
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Street there in Philadelphia. It's a mess. And so Jalen Hurts,
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: who looked like a man whose football soul had been mugged.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: He was numb as a bug. And just the whole
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: thing is like, what is.
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: Going on here?
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: Passes were being tipped. They were just a little bit off.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: And that's the difference between good and bad, success and failure.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: And so you've got the AJ Brown situation where he
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: had a bunch of yards, but yet the underlying condition
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: is still alive. They're not singing from the same song sheet,
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts and AJ Brown. As you look at it.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: The coughing is still there as thirteen targets and aj
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: Brown had six catches. There was a key drop in
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: the fourth quarter down in the end zone in a
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: forty six percent catch rate, which doesn't appear to be
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: very good. It screams miscommunication for the Philadelphia Eagles, and
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: there's obviously a lot of frustration with a little dash,
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: just a little dash of Diva sprinkles on top at
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: this point. So the schedule, if there is a positive,
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: if you want me to be Benny Brightside, the positive
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: here is the schedule is cotton candy like the Eagles.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: Even though the Eagles are trash right now, they still
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: should win three of their final four games to close
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: the regular seasons. Anyone want to push back on that?
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: Have you seen who they play? The Raiders? The Raiders
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: are up next in Philadelphia. The Raiders have already given up.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: They are bunch of quick. They've got Geno Smith. That
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: tells you they're not trying to win. When you have
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: Geno Smith, you are trying not to win football games.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: You're just trying to cover. And Pete did cover the spread.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: Goodship by him. They do have to play the Bills,
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: that's in Buffalo, that'll be a loss. But then you
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: also have two games home and home with the Washington Commandos,
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: so they appear to quit or have quit the way
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: they played against the Minnesota Vikings. So that's what's up ahead. However,
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: right now, the Eagles, they don't need cupcakes is what
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: they need. Competence is what they they need here. And
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: so even if you beat up on the Raiders and
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: the Commanders a couple of times, you're not battle tested
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: when you eventually play a better team. And so Nick Sirianni,
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: he's not exactly stopping the bleeding here, and if anything,
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: he's picking at this gap. Now what's going to be
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: interesting is this was the kind of game and as
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: we were going through it, there's some chatter in the
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: press box like that somebody's gonna get fired. Now I'm
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: not saying Sirianni's gonna get fired, but this is the
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: kind of a performance when you know, and everyone's watching
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: your offense and people are questioning whether or not you
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: should have demoted the offensive coordinator. This is the kind
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: of game that gets Kevin Patulo sacrificed and whacked by
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: the Eagles, Like that's the kind of game where he
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: will either be demoted or just removed from the coaching room.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: So stay tuned on that. Now, last word on the
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: Chargers side of things, show me your lightning bolt. Good
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: looking uniforms by the Chargers, right, they dressed for success.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: They had that electric blue one on the Monday night.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: But can Jim Harbaugh Can Jim Harbaugh now exhale with
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: the Chargers getting the overtime win over the reigning champions
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: of the NFL. So the answer to this is no,
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: It's just no on this one, and not even close.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: I'm shaking my head now. No, just for those of
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: you who can watch on the YouTube, we have Ben
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: Mather Show on YouTube. We're actually streaming the the monologue.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: So I'm shaking my head. No, here's why I'm shaking
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: my head. No, all right, In fact, I'm shaking my head.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna shake my head so much I'm probably need
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: a chiropractor. No no, no, no, no, no no no
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: no no no no no, like just like that. And
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: here's why this was an ugly duckling win. It is
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: an ugly duckling win. The offense, the defense was great.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: The I say great, but the Eagles, the Eagles have
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: their own issues. But here's the deal. The offensive display here.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: This was a capital you ugly is what it was
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: you had, and you underline it. You can highlight it,
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: however you want to put a spectacle around it, and
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: you put on a billboard if you want, on the
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: four h five. Take one of those ambulance chasing lawyer
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: billboards off the four h five and put that that
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: up there. But depending on dicker, the kicker, the idiot
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: kicker for five field goals. And this is we always
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: say the same thing with the Cowboys. It's a blessing
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: and a curse to have a great kicker. Cowboys in charge,
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: just have great kickers. It's a blessing and a curse
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: because you depend on the kicker and you don't win
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: big games with field goals. You don't this ill regular
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: season game, you won it. Congratulations. However, normally, when you
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: get five turnovers, am I not wrong in saying you
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: should win that game by thirty points? If you get
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: five turnovers, you're at home, You put your feet up,
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: you grab a spicy margarita, and you enjoyed garbage time
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: and you play grab ass on the sidelines. That was
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: not what happened here. They were not on some kind
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: of Royal Caribbean cruise. They were not not the bolt
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: the Chargers who had turned Jalen Hurts, and Jalen was
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: very generous. It's the season of giving, and Jalen Hurts
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: his generosity was generosity machine here for the Philadelphia Eagles,
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: and they managed to get. If my math is correct,
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: I believe six points off five turnovers by the Eagles.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: They only monetize those into six points. Two field goals.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: That's all they got off five turnovers. Now they did
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: get the you know, technically the last one they sealed
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: the game because that ended the game, the final interception,
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: But the other four they only got six points out
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: of it, a couple of field goals. And this was
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: the type of game that you have to go back
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: in time. This was a super duper football follies VHS
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: tape the kind your uncle got at the gas station
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: in like ninety three is what this was. And and
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: Justin Herbert, he's playing hurt. They didn't touch. They didn't
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: talk about that at all on the broadcast, didn't they. No,
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: Justin Herbert, who looked like he was trying to throw
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: a piano on every drop back. Now, the Eagles got
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: to him a fair amount. And this is the same
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: thing I say all the time. Just you're gonna repeat
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: yourself again, I know, yeah, say it about CJ. Stroud,
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: Gino Smith. I'm gonna say it about Justin Herbert. Rid
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: of the damn ball, Okay, rather of tat tat, get
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: rid of the ball, dummy, And Justin Herbert kept holding
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: onto the ball, holding on the ball, holding on the ball.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: What are you doing? Just get rid of it and
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: throw it away, my god. And he had two fumbles, lost,
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: one of them an interception. Under fifty percent. He's the
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: Golden child. Every broadcaster licks this guy's toes. Justin Herbert,
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: I don't see it. I don't say he was holding
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: on the ball like was a family heirloom. Like, dude,
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: it's just the duke. Get rid of the duke. The
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: Chargers had only two hundred seventy five yards of offense
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: in this game. They had sixteen first downs, two of
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: those via penalty by the Philadelphia Eagles. So you look
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: ahead now that you check the schedule, they play at
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: Kansas City. Kansas City's a lightweight this year, so you
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: play at Arrowhead. Then you've got at Dallas, the Texans
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: in la or in Inglewood, and then at Denver. That
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: is what's left. Four games left in the regular season
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: for the Chargers at this point. So that's not a
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: stretch round. That's a rocky road. Arrowhead not easy to
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: play at. Dallas has some good offense, although they're not
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: a complete team, and so that's where we are. That's
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: rocky road for Jim Harbaugh, and so you can't excel.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: Plus Harbas's he's not like that. He doesn't exhale about anything.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: He's always got to stick up his tookist, doesn't he
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: That's what he looks like. It's one of those people
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: and they can barely inhale.

• 25:14
  Speaker 1: As we begin this hour, still talk about the Monday
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: night game as the Chargers up in the Philadelphia Eagles
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: at SOFI Stadium. A lot of angry birds, the Eagle
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: fan base not happy there. The Eagles go down and
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: they go down hard in overtime game. They should have
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: lost in regulation, but they ended up playing a little
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: extra time there in the overtime. But our lead this hour,
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: all right, let's go to Indianapolis. That is the lead story.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: And a hum dinger, What a homedinger. So with Daniel
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: Jones out for the year, snapcrackle pop, and Riley Leonard
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: listed a week to week, the old golden domer, Riley Leonard,
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: who has a strained kneele oh my aching knee. So
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: the Colts are scheduled later on Tuesday to work out
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: Philip Rivers. Yes, that Philip Rivers, not his kid, the
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: same Philip Rivers. Yep, the charger Colt got yep that guy,
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: and the state sponsored the NFL networked a proble the
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: news service of the NFL for informing us that the
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: workout is scheduled. Now, if you didn't hear about this,
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: maybe not, it will it will coincide. It's it's Philip Rivers'
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: birthday week this week, So happy birthday, Philip forty four
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: years young, Happy birthday, Happy birthday. He last played in
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: an NFL game during the pandemic season of twenty twenty,
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: was the last time he played. And the Colts are
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: going to work out Philip Rivers. So they need help,
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: and so the Colts will work out Rivers, see what
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: type of shape he's in. Matgin TV shows up and
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: he looks like a sumo wrestler. Likely won't sign him,
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: but by all accounts, Rivers is in pretty good shape.
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: There.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: So the former quarterback who is now a grandfather, that's right,
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: he's a grandfather, Philip Rivers, and he has to figure
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: out whether or not he wants to play in the
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: NFL or not. For now, he is clearly considering and
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: contemplating playing quarterback in Indianapolis, as he's willing to fly
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: from his native land in Alabama and go to Indy
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: to hang out with the Colts and have a nice
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: meet and greet, a nice luncheon and all that. So
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: that is a good jumping off point. Let us discuss
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: the question what is crazier the fact that the Colts
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: are interested in Philip Rivers or the fact that Philip
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: Rivers is considering this and it didn't immediately say no.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: What is the more ridonculous part of this story? So
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: I've got family business, gold bar and turkey vultures, and
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: we will combine all of these things together and we
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: are going to make some delicious Saint Elmo's Surf and Turf,
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: which we had famous dinner there years ago. Is doing
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: some radio stuff in Indy. We had to meal at
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: Saint Elmo's. It's really a right if you're in the
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: media to go to Saint Elmo's in Indianapolis and order
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: the most expensive thing on the menu and just have
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: your company pay for it. That's the way to do it.
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: So number one, let me just start with the fact.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: I know the fact that the Indianapolis Colts are so desperate,
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: they're so horny for a quarterback that they're rummaging through
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: the attic at their facility and they're opening up these
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: dust covered boxes, and they came across an old Philip Rivers.
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: Jersey said, Okay, I'll have an epiphany. Why don't we
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: call Philip Rivers and see if he wants to play?
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: And he last played when TikTok was still a toddler.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: Philip Rivers, okay, And now he's a forty four year
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: old grandpa coaching. At last I heard he was coaching
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: high school football in Alabama. And so the arrow on
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: this one, the arrow on this one is pointing squarely
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: at the Colts, squarely at the Colts. That's just the
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: way it is. And what are the horseshoes thinking? Even
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: if Rivers comes in and does okay? Right, even if
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: he were to do okay, the risk factor at forty
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: four years old, not being in the NFL shape, there
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: is his next level, right, it's next level. So this
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: franchise has yet again, this is what the culture. This
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: is what the culture. The Colts have entered the wack
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: a doodle twilight zone. Wack a doodle do what they do.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: And you thought that jimmers say, when he crossed the
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: pearly gates and left this mortal coil, you thought, well,
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: that's it. The culture gonna be like every other NFL team.
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: They're not gonna do these wack of doodle things anymore
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: because Jim Mersay would be on a bender and he'd
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: do these crazy things. So he had issues. Surprise, surprise, surprise,
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: because hey, he might no longer be with us, Jim irsay,
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: but his sweet daughter is carrying on the family business.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: And I guess the apple does not fall far from
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: the tree. The DNA it's baked into the ursa DNA.
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: There the family business, the whimsical football chaos. The same
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: family that brought us Jeff Saturday, the television guy who
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: was like a high school coach as an NFL head
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: coach a couple of years back, and that was the Horseshoes.
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: And now we have the daughter going down a similar
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: road with the quarterback and it's just next level. So
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: Indianapolis is basically what Indianapolis is doing here is there
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: rebooting a classic sports movie, putting an NFL spin on
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: Major League the movie. Remember that that movie, Major League.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: It's a classic movie. And in this scene, you've got
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: the general manager, Chris Ballard of Indianapolis on the phone,
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: ring ring, ring, Hey hey, Philip, it's Chris Ballard, the
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: GM of the Indianapolis Colts. You want to play quarterback
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: in the NFL for the Colts again? And then Rivers responds, well,
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. Let me get back to
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: you on that. Christ. I got a kid doing burpies
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: here in high school football practice. I'll get back to
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: Rivers has been retired. I assume when you retire, you
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: play shuffle board and you play bingo and you hum
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: Jimmy Buffett tunes from Latitude Margaritaville. That's what you do. No,
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: all right, And so India is so desperate. How desperate
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: are they? They're so desperate Indianapolis here, they're so desperate
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: that they are they're actually doing this. They're checking aarp
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: cards at quarterback and saying, hey, you got a membership,
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: You're good to go. Here we go and uh and
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: what a great gig though there's only four games to go.
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: Maybe you get to the playoffs and play an extra
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: game or two if you're Philip Rivers there And what
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: are you going to get a million dollars to play
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: the rest of the year or something like that, some
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: absurd amount of money. Let me tell you something. The
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: holidays are here, and those Christmas gifts do not pay
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: for them? Say you got he's got like ten kids.
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: I think he needs one more. He can feel his
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: own eleven man roster on the play both ways. But
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: this is Malard theater is what this is, Okay, embracing
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: the absurd. And while I think it will not work,
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: I love the fact that Colts are doing. It's so crazy,
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: so bonkers. It's like, what are you doing? And this
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: is how the NFL's operated current Warner told stories. He
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: left the NFL, he said for like five years after
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: he left the NFL. People were calling up, Hey, how
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: would you like to come back and play quarterback? All right?
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: Now to San Francisco we go. Follow up, follow up
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: to the mouthy wide out by the Bay forty nine
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: is wide receiver Jawan Jennings. Not a household name. Not
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: a household name, Jawan Jennings. He was asked about his
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: war of words, uh with the Cleveland Browns. You might
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: remember defensive tacker tackle Shelby Harris who announced to the
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: world that Juwan Jennings is a what what is? That's right?
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: Demand's a how all right? And so he went on
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: and said that Jennings said things you should never say
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: to another man, that's right, And Shelby Harris went on
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: as this big rant and said, well he said that,
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: and he said surprised he sees exactly why the Carolina
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: Panthers punched him in the nuts, and surprised somebody hasn't
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: punched him in the jaw. And then Miles Garrett responded
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: by saying he also took issue with whatever Juwan Jennings
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: said in that forty nine Ers Browns game. And then,
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: of course, well, Shelby Harris just again said your hoe
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: and that's that's it. But the question on this one,
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: so the response, let me, let me give you a
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: responsible So the response by Juwan Jennings, he says he
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: did not he did not say anything that bad to
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns. So the question, all right, question on
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: this Juwan Jennings says, I didn't say anything that bad
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: to the Browns. How do you break this one down?
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: So I'm gonna break this down this way. So it's
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: a he said, he said situation. The whole Juwan Jennings
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: Shelby Harris dust up. It's like two guys arguing on
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: who insulted who louder in the nightclub bathroom while someone's
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: there trying to get a tip and hand you some
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: cologne you don't need and some candies you don't need
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: in the bathroom. It's that kind of thing. So the
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: way I look at this, and I am the judge, jury, executioner,
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: all that stuff. So nobody is innocent on this. Nobody
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: is in everyone's guilty. Everyone's got blood on their hands
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: and all it. The only truth is somewhere floating in
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: the stadium rafters there, uh you know, Shelby Harris calling
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: Jennings a what that's right? A ho ho ho ho,
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: that's right. That is radio gold is what that is?
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: That is radio gold. And it really is in the
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: holiday season in we could make our own song with
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: just him saying ho ho ho. Let's try it. Let's see,
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: here's Shelby Harris his new holiday song. He's now Santa Claus.
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: Go ahead say it, Shelby. Come on, here's a hope
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: on non no, oh oh man, we butchered it. Let's
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: try that. Yeah, here's a hope yeah, oh man. See
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: there's a glitch. It's the Gremlins, but it would be
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: he's a hoe' he's a ho, he's ho. So anyway, listen,
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: that is the kind of SoundBite when you do this
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: job for a living. That is the kind of SoundBite
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: you wrap in velvet and you keep that in a
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: trophy case. How often do we have someone call another
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: player a hoe? It doesn't happen very often. So here's
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: the twist, though, And I gotta be an accurate arbitrator
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: of what goes on. And so the Mallard scorecard as
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: a longtime boxing judge on these verbal rhubarbs. So the
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: Malard scorecard that outburst actually by by Shelby Harris handed
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: this to Juwan Jennings. I give the wind to Jennings,
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: and here's why, because the moment it's the bro code,
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: the moment you go public with locker room or on
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: field talk, locker room talk or on field talk. The
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: moment that you do that, you have breaked the the
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: golden wall, if you will. You've broken the the kfabe
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: that they have in wrestling, and you've ruined all the fun.
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: You violated the code of silence that what happens on
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: the field stays on the field, what happens in the
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: locker room stays in much like Vegas, it just kind
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: of stays there. And Jennings essentially said that yeah, I
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: said something, but not that bad. And if he wants
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: to smack me, you know, set your DVRs. Set your DVRs.
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: That's a pro wrestling heel energy by Juwan Jennings. And
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: the that's a man right there popping the balloon, popping
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: the balloon and letting all the faux outrage, all the
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: faux outrage hiss out like a cheap air mattress that
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: gets popped right there. Let's be real. The chatter almost
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: certainly is a two way highway. It's not one way.
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: It was also guaranteed to be obscene in decent and
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: rated NC seventeen for language. Regardless. You kind of expect that,
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: right in competition. You assume there's gonna be a lot
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: of things said in the heat of the moment, the
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: fog of competition. That's what happens. And it's not fit
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: for broadcast. It's not for men and men, women and
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: children who can't handle it. If you're fragile, it's not
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: for you. And for us, it's absolutely perfect. We love it.
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: We love it all right. Now the final point, we
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: go to Jersey. We go to New Jersey where the
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: New York Jets over the weekend. Congratulations to the Jets.
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: Tremendous job boys, you have you have done it yet again.
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: The Jets, by losing to the Dolphins, have reclaimed sole possession,
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: sole possession of the longest active postseason drought among the NFL, MLB, NHL,
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: and NBA at fifteen years without the post fifteen. That
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: means if you were born and are now in high
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: school as a fifteen year old your entire life, the
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: Jets have never made the playoffs in an age where
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: they have more playoff teams than ever in an age
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: where it's designed to be topsy turvy, and you suck
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: for a couple of years, then you're good for a
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: couple of years. And that's the way they do business
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: in the NFL. So following the defeat, we had multiple
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: Jets players who spoke about the tradition of the franchise,
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: including Brees Hall, who went on a mini rant Brisoll
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: talking about, you know, the other players are having fun
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: around the NFL away from the Jets, he said, Brisall,
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: he said, quote, it's a yearly thing. He said, it's definitely.
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: It starts to weigh on you. You see your peers, you
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: see other guys that you know, you're just as good
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: as or better than, Brisall said, And they get to
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: have a lot of fun, and you don't have any
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: fun apparently when you play for the Jets. So the
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: question do you have any wisdom you'd like to share
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: for the Jets and this stretch of futility again, they've
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: missed the playoffs now for fifteen years in a row.
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: We are just five years away from a full generation
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: without making the playoffs for the New York Jets, so
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: this is obviously not a slump. It's not. This is
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: a lifestyle brand, is what this is. It's a lifestyle
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: brand by the Jets here. And I love that Breeze Hall,
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: who wanted to be traded, who did everything he thought
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: he could possibly do to be traded. I love the
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: fact that Breecee Hall's out here talking like a philosopher
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: on the Staten Island ferryes saying it weighs on you.
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: Thank you, captain obvious, no kidding, my friend. The franchise,
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: they have more baggage than the Guardia over the Christmas holidays.
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: Got and my advice, lean into it. If I'm the Jets,
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: I lean into this. I do. Don't run from it.
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: Do not run from it. Embrace the annual misery tour.
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: That's my advice to the Jets. Make this a right
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: of passage. Make it a right of passion. It's kind
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: of like in Hinckley, Ohio. Every March they have the
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: Turkey vultures that return to Hinckley, Ohio and they celebrate.
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: Most people would say, we don't want to celebrate turkey vultures,
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: But in Hinckley, Ohio, they celebrate turkey vultures they do.
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: And so the Jets aren't the birds of prey. They're
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: not that. They're like the buzzards of the ball, the
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: buzzards of the ball, circling another lost season, yet again,
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: waiting for the next carcass, for a quarterback to drop
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: into their lap. And I did the maul or math
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: on this because I got a lot of free time
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: on hands, so I did the mather of math. The
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: Jets have had in this fifteen years. They've had six
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: head coaches, They've had twenty quarterbacks that have started. They've
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: had how many top ten picks? Nine top ten picks
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: in the last fifteen years, not top twenty, top nine
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: top ten picks. It's musical chairs on the Hindenburg k
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: boom is what it is. And every year someone new.
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: This is what I love about Jets. Every year someone
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: new sits down and says it's gonna be different. I
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: know what I'm doing, and those other guys didn't know
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: what they were doing, and I know what I'm doing,
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: and the whole thing explodes yet again. It's the warehouse
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: of regret FC is what that is there. And the
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: Jets business model, which other teams have copied. Here is
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: the sad model. Suck and draft suck and draft wash rints, repeat,
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: clog the drain. That's what they do. And so yeah,
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: I believe the Jets should just copy to the United
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: States Marines. Embrace the suck. Just embrace the suck. It's
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: one thing the franchise if they're actually executing at an
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: elite level. They're not doing that, so maybe they can
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: execute an elite level on the other side.
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of the Ben Maller

  Speaker 1: is one gets grailled? All right?
• 43:22
  Speaker 6: Here, wake go couple of It wasn't long ago that
• 43:25
  Speaker 6: Mike McDaniel's firing seemed all but inevitable. Now the Dolphins
• 43:28
  Speaker 6: have won four straight, there're still didn't playoff contention, and
• 43:31
  Speaker 6: McDaniel is talking about quote a special connection in the
• 43:34
  Speaker 6: locker room. Ben, has McDaniel already saved his job?
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: No, look at the Bills win was I guess legit?
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: But the Commanders, Saints and Jets are three of the
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: worst teams. No. No, In fact, it's more complicated now
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: because the Dolphins aren't terrible, They're not good. They're stuck
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: in the middle. He's gotta still be on the hot seat. Next.
• 43:55
  Speaker 6: GMZ caught up with Calvin Johnson on Sunday, and Megatron
• 43:58
  Speaker 6: said that Matthew Stafford is already Hall of Famer and
• 44:00
  Speaker 6: that an MVP award this year would cement it.
• 44:03
  Speaker 4: Is he right, Ben?
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: No, he's never even been an old pro. What are
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: you talking about? He's not a Hall of Famer. Now,
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: we want to see MVP in the Rams win the
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: super Bowl? Okay, even though the Super Bowl is a
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: team accomplishment. Then I will say yes, No, you just
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: put them a lot of empty stat Stafford next.
• 44:19
  Speaker 6: Early on in the season, Amika Agbuka seemed to be
• 44:21
  Speaker 6: running away with the Offensive Rookie of the Year award. Now,
• 44:23
  Speaker 6: after fourteen weeks, he's a long shot. Panthers wide receiver
• 44:27
  Speaker 6: Ted McMillan is the favorite to win, with Jackson Dart
• 44:29
  Speaker 6: not too far behind. Ben.
• 44:31
  Speaker 4: Do you see anyone else having a shot?
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: No, this is a terrible year for rookies on offense.
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: It's a bag you. The only other name that you'd
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: throw out there is Tyler Warren, who's a tight end
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: for the Colts. That's it. And remember this when we
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: watch the NFL Draft in April, how I'll horny you
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: guys get and these guys are mostly gonna snake in
• 44:47
