• 2:16
  Speaker 2: to seven simple things. Can't you handle that?

  Speaker 1: Yeah can't you handle that you know don't be like
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: our producer back there lazy no actually do something for
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: once do something anyway all right that's enough of that
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: let's get right into our special report the wussification of
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: the nfl special.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Report the wussification of the nfl.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: All right, as we told you up top, in week two,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: we saw three QBs go down. Jackson Dott, Jaden Daniels,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Caleb Williams, leaving the game, abandoning their teams. Yep.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: You know, rolling, rolling off the field. Rolling, exactly. Crying.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: See, I cry single handedly ruining the legacy of the
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: entire NFL. You know, if I'm one of these QBs
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: from the 70s and 80s, you know, the few that
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: are still alive because, you know, most of them are dead.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: From their injuries.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: You know, the ones who are alive, you know, they
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: must have been rolling in their reclining chairs or whatever, because,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: you know, what happened to toughen it out? You know,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: playing through the pain. You know, shooting yourself up with
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: whatever painkiller you could find, no matter how many countries
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: it was illegal in, you know, just to go out there,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: even though you couldn't feel your body from the waist down,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: you know, that's what football was all about.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: You know, Tony hundred percent. Couldn't agree more. You know,
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: these young QBs these days, like Jackson dot and Caleb
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Williams are so pathetic. Listening to their team doctors, taking
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: all this so-called sound medical advice and giving their bodies
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: time to rest and heal in order to prevent permanent
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: irreversible injuries. It's so embarrassing. It's terrible.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: And, you know, people forget this, but back in the 70s,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: they didn't have team doctors.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: No. The only medical specialist on the sidelines was the
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: team coroner.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Because that was the only way the teams would allow
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: a player to come out of the game, you know,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: only if they were dead.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: Exactly. You know, people forget this, but they didn't have
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: all these bone doctors and muscle doctors on the sideline.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: They just had a roll of scotch tape and, you know,
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: that string that keeps the pot roast legs together. So
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: that if your bones broke or your muscles came off
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: the bone, they would just tape it back on. Or,
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: you know, if they ran out of rope and tape,
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: use a staple gun. That way the players could get
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: back to what's truly important, winning. Exactly. And, you know,
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: people forget this, too.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: They didn't have these fancy X-ray machines and MRIs and
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: blue tents back then. I mean, if they wanted to
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: see if a player broke a bone, well, they would
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: just kick him, you know? And if he screamed and
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: said something like, you know, kill me now, well, then
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: they'd know something was wrong. But they'd still send it
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: back on the field, you know. And then, you know,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: when the game was done, well, then they'd reevaluate him again,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: you know. And if he was really injured, well, then
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: they just cut him from the team, you know.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: Exactly. And, you know, people forget this, too. but they
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: didn't have all these trucks and carts to take you
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: back to the locker room if you were injured. No,
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: they would tell you to walk, and if you couldn't
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: make it, they would just leave you there on the
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: field and, you know, play the game around you. Exactly.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: You know, it reminds me of one of the all-time
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: great moments.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: You know, remember when Larry Zonka was hit so hard
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: he was left paralyzed on the field?
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: Of course.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: And instead of clearing away his body, they just left
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: him there? Next play, what happens? Tony Dorsett comes running
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: up the middle, trips right over Larry Zonka's partially dead body. And,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: you know, Larry Zonka actually wound up getting credit for
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: that tackle. And it's one of the reasons why the
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Dolphins went all the way to the AFC Championship game
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: that year.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: Would not have happened had they cleared away the body,
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: you know? Exactly. And the worst part is you can't
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: find highlights of that anywhere. Exactly. I checked, too. And,
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: you know, talking about other things, people forget this, too.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: But back in the 70s and 80s, they didn't have
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: these stupid injury reports. You know, listing a player is
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: questionable or probable day to day. No, there were there
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: were two statuses alive or dead. And even if you
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: were dead, well, you were still expected to suit up,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: you know, just in case the.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: Coach called your number, you know? Exactly. And, you know,
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: people forget this, too. But in 1982, Eagles quarterback Ron
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: Jaworski's entire leg snapped off while chasing down a fumble.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: And instead of falling down and crying like Caleb Williams,
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Jaworski picked up the ball and his leg and took
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: them both into the end zone for a touchdown and
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: then gave the ball and his leg to a sweet
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: eight-year-old handicapped kid in the crowd who could then temporarily
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: walk using that leg all thanks to Ron Jaworski.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: Yup.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: And again, scrub from the internet, you know, you can't
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: find it anyway. And you know what that is? That's
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: the NFL covering things up again. You know, they, they
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: don't want that.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Tell you that quarterbacks ever played through the pain. They
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: want these wussies, you know, Caleb Williams, you know, running
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: off the field, you know.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Wussification of the NFL. That's what we're talking about. Speaking
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: of wussification, the wussification of our show.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: What?
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: You've been bashing Jackson Dart, Jaden Daniels, and Caleb Williams
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: for not playing through the pain. Where was all this
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: talk when Carson Wentz got injured in 2017? What?
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: Huh? Excuse you?
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: Wentz didn't play through the pain. He went on IR
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: and he was out for the rest of the year.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: So why aren't you bashing him?
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: Oh, don't worry. I'll be bashing your head with my
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: frying pan. Yeah, you're going to be out for the
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: rest of eternity. Now, shut up. Be quiet. We got
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: other things to get to. In fact, let's get to
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: the fallout from all these injuries.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: OK, first, Caleb Williams, you know, because the Bears are
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: going to be playing the Eagles Monday night. Well, now
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: the Bears are facing questions, you know, about who will
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: be starting that game. Well, Tony, you've got over this situation.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: What's your take?
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: Well, frankly, whether or not Caleb Williams plays on Monday,
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: he's still going to need to play an important role.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: He's got to focus on the man behind him, that
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: backup quarterback, because Caleb should know from experience, you can't
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: just shove a guy into that gaping hole that you
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: left in the offense. You've got to slowly guide him in.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: And Caleb Williams is the best guy to show him
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: how to fill that hole. You can't just expect the
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: guy to come into that game and into that hole
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: without properly handling that entry. And if anyone knows how
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: to handle a guy coming behind him, it's Caleb Williams.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Perfect breakdown there, Tony. And we'll now do the other
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: backup QB coming in. Jameis Winston taking over for the
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Giants now that Jackson Dodd is out. Now, people, haters,
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: they're saying that this is a downgrade at quarterback.
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: Please.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: That all depends how you look at Jameis' stats.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: Right, Tony?
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: Exactly.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: Exactly. You know, a lot of amateurs say that Jameis
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: Winston's a so-called bad quarterback because he throws double the
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: amount of interceptions as the average NFL quarterback. But, you know,
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: that's just a real negative way to look at it.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: What you need to do is look at the amount
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: of passes Jameis Winston throws that don't get intercepted. That's
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: why I devised a new stat, NIP. non-interception percentage. And
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: Jameis Winston's NIP is a whopping 96.5%. Wow. And, you know,
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: think about it. If you're in eighth grade or something
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: and you get a 96% on a test, you're going
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: to Harvard. You know, so Jameis Winston is basically the
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: Harvard of quarterbacks. Very helpful statistical perspective there, Tony.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: And, you know, on the subject of stats and perspective,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: the Eagles are 2-0, undefeated. Well, that hasn't stopped so
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: many of these blowhard experts out there from claiming that
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: they're the worst 2-0 team because their average margin of
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: victory is three points. But as usual, this is just
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: the biased anti-Eagles media at work again, isn't it, Tony?
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: A hundred percent. What's the most important thing a football
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: team needs to have? Consistency, of course. And the Eagles
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: are far and away the most consistent team in the league.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: They're the only team to win both games and score
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: exactly 24 points in both games. You can't say that
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: about inconsistent teams like the 2-0 Bengals. Look at these scores.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: Week one, the Bengals beat the Bucs 33-27. Then in
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: week two, the Bengals beat the Texans 20-6. Where's the consistency?
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: Nowhere to be found. And, you know, look at the Vikings.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: Week one, they beat the Packers 39-22.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: But then they beat the Bears 9-3.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: Are you an offensive team or a defensive team?
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: You can't make up your mind. They can't make up
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: their minds. And don't get me started on the Bills.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: Week one, they beat the Texans 36-31. But then they
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: beat the Lions in week two, 41-31. You know, hats
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: off to the defense. But the offense... Are you a
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: 30-point team or a 40-point team? You can't even make
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: up your mind. How can you make a game plan
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: when you don't know which offense you're getting week to week?
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: You can't.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: And we're talking about people being unprepared. There's an ESPN
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: report that a woman claimed that she notified the 49ers
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: about that 49ers impersonator, Dajon Love.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: Eight months before he was arrested.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: And yet that team did jack squat.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: And well, shame on the 49ers. Right, Tony? Exactly. You know,
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: if someone is out there on all these social media
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: platforms pretending to be associated with your football team. you know,
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: wearing the logo, acting like he's having private conversations with
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: people in your organization, then you got to shut that
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: down immediately and have that person put behind bars. You know,
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: you can't wait months before doing it. Oh, what?
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: By that definition, doesn't that mean that you two should
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: be arrested for pretending to be official spokespeople of the
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: Philadelphia Eagles? Because there's no evidence of that being true.
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: You should be arrested for breathing.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know what nobody's seen any evidence of?
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: Your penis. Oh, now shut up. Yeah, be quiet.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: We're going to take a break and then come back
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: with Tony's lock bets for week three.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: Be right back. All right, we're back from breaking. You
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: know what that means.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: It's time to get out your full scope bet app
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: because Tony's about to bring you his best bets for
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: NFL week three. Tony, let's kick it off with Bengals
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: at Steelers.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers in the Steelers did a great job moving
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: the ball last week. Unfortunately, most of it went backwards.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: So I'm taking the under Steelers negative 78 rushing yards.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: Titans at Giants. I'm going to take the under here,
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: under 100 viewers. Ravens at Cowboys. This game will be
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: played in Brazil, where there's concerns about the quality of
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: the playing field. But I've always heard Jerry Jones say,
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: if there's grass on the field, play on. And I
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: like that attitude. So I'm actually taking the Cowboys here, 6-3.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: Eagles at Bears. The Eagles have proven they are the
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: most consistent 2-0 team in the NFL, scoring 24 points
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: in their first two wins. Meanwhile, the Bears went from
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: scoring 59 points in week one to scoring only three
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: points in week two. So based on that trend, I
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: predict the final score of Eagles 24, Bears negative 53.
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: Boom book it book it and you know you can
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: also book new in the merch store a new item
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: just added this go fusco yourself logo wow you can
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: put it on hats shirts mouse pads just a great
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: way for you to tell people you're a fan of
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: the show and also that they should not talk to
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: you and leave you alone exactly well.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: You know Honestly, we're done talking to you. That was terrific.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: Somebody I'd like to tell to go Fusco himself. Yeah, exactly.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: Can you stop? Producer, what? Just go.
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: You said Ron Jaworski's leg fell off during an Eagles
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: game in 1982 and he played right through it and
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: the NFL deleted all the evidence of that ever happening.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I remember it happening, bro.
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: Yep. It's the NFL cover-up, bro. It's because it never happened.
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: If a person's leg fell off during a game, everybody
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: would have remembered that.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, well, you know what nobody remembers?
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: The last time you got invited to a party.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know what everyone remembers? Banging your mom. Oh,
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: now shut up. Yeah, let's get out of here. He's
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: still talking. What?
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: You said the phrase going down in flames... Like the
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: Goodyear blimp.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, bro. Yeah, learn history, bro. Yeah. I did.
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: That's why I know you were clearly thinking of the
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: German blimp, the Hindenburg, going down. The Goodyear blimp never exploded.
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, well, you know what's never gone down? A
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: woman on you. Yeah, and on the subject of blimp,
• 16:48
