  Speaker 1: God bless football, Mikey A.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: God bless football, Taylor.
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: God bless football, Stu Gotts.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Taylor. We have yet to get Taylor's thoughts
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: on everything that transpired over the weekend with the NFL.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: He also has a statement game of the week. Mikey
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: has a bad bet that he made. I was 5-1
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: on Stu Yagatz. How you doing?
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: On NFL Stu Yagatz.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Yes, on NFL Stu Yagatz. My bad bet of the
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: week was trusting the Chargers. How about that? I mean,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: Justin Herbert, Jim Harbaugh. John Harbaugh did fine. Jim Harbaugh,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: not so well. And Mike McDaniel. I am so tired
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: of that quarterback and so tired of the praise we
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: heap on that quarterback. Every time we enter an NFL season. Enough.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: I've seen the light when it comes to Justin Herbert.
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: Because I was one of the people in the media...
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: Who every time Justin Herbert struggles... I'm finding any excuse
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: to figure out why Justin Herbert struggled. Was it his O-line?
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: Was it his receivers? And then you see more and
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: more coming out. Jim Harbaugh saying... The only weakness Justin
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: Herbert has is his teammates have to rise to his level.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: This is the best quarterback I've ever seen. The best
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: quarterback you've ever seen does not lose to the Cardinals
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: in week one. And look that unprepared. And I think
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: the smartest thing that Justin Herbert has ever done in
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: his life. If I was in Justin Herbert's camp and
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: trying to fix his PR, the smartest thing he's ever
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: done is attaching himself to Madison Beer so everybody forgets
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: just how bad a quarterback he is.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Why does the attachment to Madison Beer make us forget
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: about what a bad quarterback he is? I don't know
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: who Madison Beer is, but if I knew, I'd still
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: look at him and say, hey, that guy's not playing
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: quarterback well. Yeah, but if you knew.
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: Who Madison Beer was when you're watching the Chargers-Cardinals game,
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: they put her on the TV, and all of a
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: sudden you get a little distracted.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: You forget for.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Just a second.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: You start to forget just how bad Justin Herbert actually
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: was in that game. And it's almost like you kind
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: of have to shake yourself out of a trance and
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: be like, oh, Justin Herbert does kind of stink.
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: I just looked up. I just did a Google image search.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: And you guys are right. Herbert is the best quarterback
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: I've ever seen.
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: It's one of those you start rooting for him to
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: do good just because you know they're going to cut
• 2:27
  Speaker 5: to her.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: You want him to do good for her so he
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: doesn't lose her. Right.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Well, no, so that they cut to her.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay.
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: It's like Taylor Swift.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: But not.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Do they cut to her when he makes bad plays? No.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Just to see her reaction, you know, concerned girlfriend.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: There was a couple of times where they cut to
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: her and she looked just as confused as everybody else
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: as to how Jacoby Brissett, who Jacoby Brissett, by the way,
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: we kind of laughed Jacoby Brissett out of the room.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: He should have held out longer. Yeah.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: When Jacoby Brissett held out, we were like, oh, what
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: is this guy holding out for?
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: He kind of makes an impact when he's in the game.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: So does Jeremiah Love, yes, and that defense was very good.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: And Justin Herbert stinks. I think when they go to
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Madison Beer and she looks confused, I think she's confused because...
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Why does everyone tell me that this guy, my boyfriend,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: he's so good at this thing? He's not. That's why
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: she's confused and she doesn't understand why everyone heaps praise
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: on him every single year headed into the NFL regular season.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: No one knows.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: The other thing I loved about that game was every
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: time they cut to Mike LaFleur's parents in the crowd,
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: who they're watching on their phone, Matt LaFleur in green. Minnesota.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: And I know this was Mike LaFleur's debut as an
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: NFL head coach, but it feels very clear that Mike
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: LaFleur is the favorite child of the LaFleurs. To go
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: to a game where your son is a nine and
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: a half point underdog, realistically, not too many people gave
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: this Cardinals team a chance. And the other game, Matt LaFleur,
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: who you've probably seen countless times already, play and underwhelm
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: with the green Bay Packers. That was a divisional game.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: And they, they chose let's, let's just go to LA.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Well, they chose their other son's first game as a
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: head coach. That's what they chose. I understand that. Right.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: But do you think they really went into that? Like,
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: I know, I know Michael first parents probably love him.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: Do you really think his parents went into that game saying,
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: Jacoby Brissett and this Cardinals offense and this Cardinals roster?
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: I am not saying it's the game they wanted to attend.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: I'm saying they had to attend that game. That is
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: all I'm saying. And why are you saying that they
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: probably love their son? Of course they love their son.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Why is there a qualifier in front of that?
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: No, I don't think it's clear. I think it is
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: clear which son they love more.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: You don't think they love the son who coaches the
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers?
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: No, they love him.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: They just love the son that coaches the Cardinals more.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Okay, so they love both their sons, just so we're clear.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Not probably. Probably. definitively, they love both of their sons, right?
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: I want to go on the record and say, I
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: think the LaFleurs love both their sons.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: So put this on the poll. Do the LaFleurs love
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: both sons equally?
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: They don't.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: No one does.
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: They just don't.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: It's one of those things.
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: That conversation was probably, hey, Matt, listen, we can watch
• 5:22
  Speaker 5: you disappoint us next week, but for this week, we're
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: going to go see Mikey's first game.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: And yes, they call him Mikey. Yes.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Listen, it's a good thing they didn't go to the
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: other game. I mean, what a disaster. What were they
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: outscored in the fourth quarter? It was like 22 to
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: nothing by Carson Wentz. Yeah, pretty much. Which LeFleur is
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: going to last longer? I mean, I guess Arizona's LeFleur.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: The strangest part in that Vikings-Packers game was early in
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: the fourth quarter, Green Bay was leading by five. They
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: kick a field goal on a fourth and six. There's
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: a penalty, which... erases the field goal because LaFleur's like,
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: I'm just going to go for it on fourth and
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: one instead of just taking the eight-point lead. And then,
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: of course, they get stuffed on the very next play,
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: and then everything kind of unraveled after that point.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: He took points off the board.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: Always take the points.
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: No, no, no.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Well, listen, you don't have to take the points. You
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: can take them off the board if the five yards
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: gives you a first down. How's that sound?
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: Correct. Right.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: It just went from fourth and six to fourth and
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: one and a half.
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: That's it.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: It was a long yard. It was.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: And it felt like an analytic play.
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: It just felt wrong at the time.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: It really did.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: You were just like, no, man, you just take those points.
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: You're good. Put yourself in a position where even if
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: they score a touchdown with a two-point conversion, you're tied.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: That's it.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: Yes. Carson Wentz has to do that to you, by
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: the way.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: Carson Wentz has to march down the field, score a touchdown,
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: and get a two-point conversion.
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: And it would be one thing if on this fourth
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: and one, you had Jalen Hurts as your quarterback who
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: specialized in the tush push. It would be another thing.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: If you had Josh Allen, you have Jordan love. Nobody
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: really looks at Jordan love and says like he's some
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: physical specimen.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: It would be another thing. If you had Josh Jacobs
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: at running back, but you didn't.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: I think the jets are going to upset them in
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: week two.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Listen, Mikey hates. Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop. Mikey did
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: not like the fact that I picked the jets and
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: still you gots. They won.
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: They covered.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: They look like a competent football team. They didn't turn
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: the football over. Granted, it was Tennessee, but it was
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: on the road against Salah, former coach. We'll take it.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Jets are 1-0, the Patriots are 0-1. I'm good. And
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: I do think they could upset the Packers next week.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: I do.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: The Jets are in no position to poo-poo any opponent
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: that you win. I don't want to hear people that
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: are Jets fans today say, oh, I mean, it was
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: only the Tennessee Titans. You have been a losing program
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: or a losing franchise for quite some time now.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: We'll take it.
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: You got to take any wins you can. And I
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: know there's people who are going to say the Jets
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: have to position themselves better To get a quarterback?
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: No, they don't.
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: I think Aaron Glenn just has to show what Stu
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: Gotts mentioned, that they could be a competent team.
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: And it feels like that's what they are with Geno
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: Smith at quarterback.
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: They have the third and the fifth round pick next year.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: In the first round. Third and fifth pick in the
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: first round. That doesn't change. If the season ended today? Well, no.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: It doesn't change. If the season ends any day, they
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: still have those picks. Am I wrong?
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: They might not be the third and fifth pick.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: All right. So, I mean, you could still parlay it
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: to get a quarterback is my point, right? And at
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: least these quarterbacks are seeing, hey, there's a competent football.
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: Team over there.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: And maybe Peyton and Eli allow Arch to play for
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: the Jets, even though neither of those guys are his dad.
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: There has to be a happy middle between Jets fans
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: shouldn't be rooting to lose and And Jet fans shouldn't
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: be saying, we're going to the Super Bowl and we're
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: going to beat the Packers next week because we beat
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: the Titans. Yes, Jet fans should be happy they beat
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: the Titans. That was awesome. Live in this moment. Live
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: in this.
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: Moment right now where you are 1-0.
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: Let's not start talking about beating the Packers next week
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: going to the playoffs, winning the Super Bowl.
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: We're just talking about the Packers. It's the next game up.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: No one said Super Bowl.
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: We're on to Green Bay.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: You've already got them with the upset, and it's just like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Okay, slow down.
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: I don't think I would be talking Super Bowl right
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: now if I was a Jets fan, but I do
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: think it is fair for Jets fans to change expectations
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: after a week one game where There was no stress
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: in that game. It felt like the Jets were in
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: control of that game from the moment it kicked off.
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: And you have the pieces on offense where the quarterback
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: play has been so bad the couple of years that
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: Geno Smith just being an average quarterback and pairing him
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: with somebody like Garrett Wilson, who probably could be a
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: top 10 wide receiver in the NFL, but again, he's
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: had so much turnover at that quarterback position. All I'm saying, Mikey,
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: is I think it's fair for Jets fans to change
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: expectations today and say, maybe we can sneak into the
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: playoffs and be a wildcard team, especially because of how
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: bad it's been recently.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: I think what Mikey is trying to tell you, though,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: is when we start thinking about changing our expectations, that's
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: when everything goes back to normal.
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: That's when you get hurt. That's the hope that kills you.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Yes, don't dream big.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: It's the hope that kills you.
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: Don't, no, no, no, no.
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: Let's just live here. And remember this. Week one is
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: a liar. Week one in the NFL is always a liar.
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: Last year, the Raiders beat the Patriots week one. That happened.
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: The Patriots went on to the Super Bowl. The Raiders
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: went on to the first overall pick.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: That happens. The Jets being competent could just be a lie.
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: Who's this year's Raiders? It's probably the Cardinals, right?
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Probably. Well, the Raiders won their game, too. I mean,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: against the Dolphins.
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: Maybe it's the Jets.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Yes, who were as bad as advertised. Stu, are you
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: saying it could be the Raiders again? Could be the
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: Raiders again, yes.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: No, you got to beat somebody good. You got to
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: beat somebody good.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: That's fair.
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: They beat the Dolphins. That's an interesting question that Taylor
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: brought up in terms of fan base and changing their
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: expectations after week one. And I'm okay with fans doing that.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: I'm a fan, and that's how fans cheer. What fan base,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: rightfully so, should change their expectations, good or bad, after
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: one week? Meaning, is there a fan base that thought
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: their team was going to be good, and after a week,
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: they're like, eh, you know what? Not so sure. And
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: a fan base that thought their team was going to
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: be bad, and after one week, they're like, hey, not
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: as bad as I thought. How about that?
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: I will put the Dallas Cowboys in that. We were told,
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: just like just like the chargers.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah.
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: The Cowboys, they fixed their defense.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: They did all this.
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: No, you, you just gave up 28 points to the
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: New York giants who were going into this.
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: Another one of.
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: Those teams are like, ha ha. The giants lose, right?
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: Like the Cowboys pump the brakes.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: They need to readjust their expectations. They're not as good
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: as everyone said they were going to be headed into
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: the season, even though it's only week one. I like that.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: I think the other one is the LA Rams. I
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: do where the expectations were, Hey, Rams of the field.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: Can the Rams go undefeated? Well, they've already lost once,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: even though that game feels like it was played last season.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: But they've already lost once. Miles Garrett is now out.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: Aaron Donald obviously coming back. Good substitution for Miles Garrett.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: But the point was those two were going to play together.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: If I'm a Rams fan, I change my expectations. I do.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Not going to be as great as I thought we
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: were going to be.
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: What do you think is more likely, that the Rams
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: win the Super Bowl or the Rams miss the playoffs?
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: Because It sounds like a crazy question to ask after
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: week one, but the odds would suggest that they're more
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: likely to miss the playoffs than be a plus 600
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: Super Bowl winner.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, especially with Arizona in that division.
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: I have that Rams loss as a good loss.
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: Really?
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: Really. They lost Miles Garrett for four weeks.
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: Takes all the pressure off of going 17-0. Nobody's talking
• 13:00
  Speaker 5: about it anymore. Now you can just get back to
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: playing football.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: Get the loss out of the way.
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: Get it out of the way.
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: And the best is, it was a loss that came
• 13:09
  Speaker 5: with all sorts of built-in excuses.
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: Oh, the weather.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: Oh, the travel.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: Oh, the this.
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: Oh, game one.
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: It came with all the excuses that you could chalk
• 13:19
  Speaker 5: it up to. And now you get to say, hey,
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: Now we just get to go play football.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: And, of course, Todd in accounting.
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: Or Todd in accounting.
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: It's a good loss for the Rams until they lose
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: week two. Because if you lose week two and the
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: narrative was, okay, now we don't have to worry about 17-0. Okay,
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: now we don't have to worry about 16-1. And then
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: it's just going to keep adjusting that until this team
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: actually proves they can win.

• 15:06
  Speaker 1: So the Rams are at the Giants this week. And
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: speaking of fan bases that should change their expectations, the
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: New York Giants, which leads us to our statement game
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: of the week from Taylor. This is exciting. What do
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: you got, Taylor?
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: Is this it? This?
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: I didn't know.
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: Mikey.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: Mikey.
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: The New York Giants came in with a lot of
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: expectations this year. And Stugatz did the thing where he
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: was talking up the Giants' expectations, but also saying the
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: Giants shouldn't get as excited because he's not quite sure
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: that Jackson Dart might be this franchise quarterback. So he
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: was doing this thing where he was propping up Jim Harbaugh,
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: but he was also downplaying Jackson Dart.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, John Harbaugh.
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: John Harbaugh.
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: I'm tired of the Harbaughs. I'm tired of the Lakers.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Jim, John, tomato, tomato. Yes.
• 15:52
  Speaker 5: One of them needs to get fired on both brothers.
• 15:55
  Speaker 5: One brother needs to get fired on both of them.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: But none of them will. Ever.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: Matt's trying.
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: But this Giants performance, even with the expectations that you
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: had going into Sunday Night Football with Harbaugh coming in
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: and kind of changing the culture for this Giants team,
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: it feels like they surpassed all the expectations because that
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: Cowboys team, who rightfully so was probably a little bit overrated—
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: the Giants own that game from start to finish where
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: they never felt like they were out of control in
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: this game. And you saw somebody like Jackson Dart be
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: able to diagnose plays at the line of scrimmage. You
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: saw Jackson Dart be able to use his legs as
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: a threat, but also not wind up in the blue tent.
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: And then you saw a, a Giants defense who, for
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: the most part, there was nothing really flashy about the
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: Giants defense, but overall the, The biggest takeaway from New
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: York sports right now is it seems like you have
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: two competent football teams. And that's, again, more than you
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: could say for the past. And right now I feel
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: a lot more confident about the Giants being an NFC
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: East contender than I would with the Jets being an
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: AFC East contender.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: That's the kind of talk Mikey likes. Talk up the
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: Giants and don't talk about the Jets at all. That's
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: all he's saying, right?
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: I've been praying for years for competent football.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: That's all I want.
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: I don't need to win. Not yet.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: Just don't embarrass us, man.
• 17:19
  Speaker 5: Just don't be the game where you're like, ugh, look
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: at that ugly game.
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: I don't want to watch it.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: All right, so Taylor, the Giants made a statement with
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: their week one win is what you're saying. That's your
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: statement game of the week, Giants over the Cowboys.
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: It's my statement game of the week because I went
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: in kind of downplaying Harbaugh coming in year one, changing
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: the culture that fast. And after week one, I'm watching
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: this Giants team, and I guess kind of it is
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: also to what you saw in the Commanders-Eagles game where
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: Neither of those two teams look that impressive where I'm
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: watching the Giants and I'm like, okay, I could start
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: to talk myself into the way that this team wants
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: to play football. They want to bully people at the
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: line of scrimmage. They rush for 37 carries, 165 yards.
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: Isaiah Likely, I could talk myself into him being a
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: top five tight end in the NFL.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: I mean, we've been doing that for years, though. He
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: had Lamar Jackson as his quarterback.
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: I'm saying it might be more likely.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I'm saying he didn't reach that. With Lamar Jackson,
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: and you have him reaching that with Jackson Dart. He
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: was clearly Jackson Dart's favorite wide receiver, tight end, on
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: the field last night. It's good to have neighbors back, too.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: He helps, you know? Yeah.
• 18:27
  Speaker 5: But you guys are glossing over what John Harbaugh really
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: brings to this team. Because everybody's talking about, oh, he
• 18:33
  Speaker 5: makes him stable.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: Oh, he buttons them up.
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: No, no, no, no, no.
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: What John Harbaugh brings is Patrick Richard, the fullback. Because
• 18:41
  Speaker 5: that's the guy that stole the show yesterday. Everywhere he went,
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: it was like, oh, well, that's where they're going. They
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: brought back fullback football.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: To the nth degree, and I was here for it.
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: Mikey, when I watch him... block at fullback i have
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: the the delusional confidence to say i think i could
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: run at running back behind him sure if he's leading
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: the way i could talk myself into.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: A thousand yards yes yes i don't know a thousand
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: yards listen 17 games all right let's do this how
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: many yards per game do you need to get a
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: thousand yards in today's nfl 17 games now it's like
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: 60 some odd yards yeah 58.8 so what you guys
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: are saying is this fullback what's his name Patrick Rashard.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: Patrick Rashard.
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: Came over from the Ravens.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: Yes. If you were running behind Rashard, Taylor, in the NFL,
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: do you think you can get yourself, I don't know,
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: 65 yards a game? What do you think?
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: Now that it's broken down into that math, 58 yards
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: is like, I just need a break like a couple
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: of loose. And the Giants offensive line is good enough
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: that Richard is also good enough that I think I
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: could rush for 60 yards a game in the NFL.
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: But also, the bigger thing is, I would be so
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: good in the goal line finding the holes because, again, Patrick,
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: I just have to follow Patrick Richard. If a first
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: and goal from the three– I'm scoring on that 99%
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: of the time.
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: All you want to do is you want to put
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: your hand on his back and let him lead the way,
• 20:14
  Speaker 5: and then when he makes contact, just go the other way.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: Taylor, put it on the ball.
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: Touchdown.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: Could you run for 1,000 yards behind Patrick Richard? Put
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: that on the ball, please.
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: The answer is yes.
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: So my problem playing football, especially at the D1 level
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: at North Carolina.
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: Is I was a little bit chicken shit when I
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: got the ball, and not being able to trust, hey,
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: the scout team offensive line in front of me is
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: going to be able to block this D1 defensive line.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: Right, but you didn't have a Patrick Richard. Exactly, Stu, exactly.
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: If I had a Patrick Richard blocking me at North Carolina,
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: I don't think I'm on the scout team. I think
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: I'm in the NFL right now. You guys probably don't
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: even know me. You guys are talking about me on
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: this episode.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: If Taylor put it on the poll, if Patrick Richard
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: played at North Carolina, would Taylor be in the NFL?
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: Yes. Yes. I mean, you would have been a bust
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: in the NFL.
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: Yes, but you would have gotten drafted.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: It depends.
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: Do I have Patrick Richard blocking for me still?
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: What a great poll question. Could you run for a
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: thousand yards behind Patrick Richard and if Patrick Richard played
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: fullback at North Carolina, would Taylor be in the NFL?
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: That is so good.
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: It feels like So with Cam Scadaboo, it feels like
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: there's a bit of a distraction part that comes when
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: he's your running back.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: Because he's doing all the backflips, he's talking, he's streaming,
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: which feels very anti-Harbaugh. But when you watch Cam Scadaboo
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: play at the running back position and his running style where...
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: It's similar to Isaiah Pacheco, where it feels like an
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: offensive coordinator is going to him and saying, like, hey,
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: this might be your last carry ever.
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: Skadaboo runs like that all the time.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: Harbaugh loves him like a son.
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: It does feel a bit conflicting. Like, Harbaugh wouldn't really
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: like this running back, but the way he plays outweighs
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: anything that could potentially be an issue off the field.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: I'll take it this far. If given the choice, Derrick
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: Henry or Skadaboo to be his running back, John Harbaugh
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: would choose Skadaboo. How about that?
• 22:19
  Speaker 5: You'd choose Patrick Richard before both of them.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: Who wouldn't? Taylor beat the NFL today.
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: I really do think that.
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: I know you do.
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: This damn knee injury I had.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, you wouldn't have it if Richard was there.
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: Clear in the lanes. I just need a lane. I
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: just need a sliver of lane.
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: Listen. He'll get you one.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: Reach out to Pat Hanlon at the Giants. He's a
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: good friend of mine. He has gotten us Brian Dayball,
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: Joe Shane multiple times, who's also a good friend. Tell
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: him we want this fullback.
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: Oh, I thought you were going to ask for something else.
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: I thought you were going to ask if I could
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: go up to.
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: No, we're going right to the top.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: I am telling you, I'm telling you right now, Pat
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: Hanlon has not received a media request for a fullback
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: in probably a decade and a half. He's going to
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: be thrilled to get it. He's going to get him
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: right on the show. Okay.
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: So there's two things I could reach out to Giants
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: PR for. One, ask for Patrick Richard on the show.
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: Two, me go up to East Rutherford and try out
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: for the Giants because I think I'm perfect for this
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: John Harbaugh team.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: Well, try to get it done. Seriously. I would take
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: Rashard right now over Skadaboo. I would take him over
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: Jackson Dart. I would take him over John Harbaugh. I'd
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: take him over any Giant on the team in terms
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: of a guest. I would. We have built up the
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: mythology of Rashard to a point where I now want him.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: I'd ask him to be the co-host of this show.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: How about that?
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: Sorry, Patrick's busy.
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: Do you want Jackson? No, we'll wait.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: When's he going to be available?
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: We should rebrand the show as God Bless Patrick Richard.
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: God Bless the Fullback.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: The name of this episode is going to be the
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: Patrick Richard Show.
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: Thank you.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: Just so we're clear. Are there any other fullbacks out there?
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: Is he the last of his kind?
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: Who cares? He's the gold standard.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: So it depends what you classify Kyle Juszczyk as. Because
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: I would say he's a fullback.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: Receiver-ish, yes.
• 24:10
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: That's the problem with somebody like Kyle.
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: He wants all the glory. Right.
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: He's a glory hug.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: He is. Kyle, you stick.
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: No, no, no, no.
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: Shut up and block like Patrick Richard.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: Do the little things, the dirty things.
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: Keep people protected. Don't get them injured. Create holes. How
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: dare you catch a pass out of the backfield? The
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: Giants have the ball for nearly 37 minutes in last
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: night's game. Like, that's it. If they're going to control
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: the pace of play and have the ball 36, 37
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: minutes with Jackson Dart playing a near flawless game, the
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: Giants are going to be good.
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: The Cowboys scored to cut it to eight. Javante Williams
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: has that terrible taunting penalty. The second he has that
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: taunting penalty, I know how good Brandon Aubrey is, but
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: everybody had the same thought. Like, he's not making this
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: extra point.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: Bad karma, man. What are you doing?
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: But even then, it's still a one-score game, and the
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: Giants get the ball back with 521 left. It is
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: so impressive in this NFL to have a style of
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: play where you get the ball with 521 left, with
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: a two-minute warning, with however many timeouts Dallas had, and say,
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: we're not giving this ball back. And again, it's exactly
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: the way Harbaugh wants to play.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: Yes, 100%. That's exactly how he wants to play. Mikey,
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: so you made the worst bet of all time last
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: night or yesterday? What happened?
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: You ever just been so sure?
• 25:35
  Speaker 5: I'm in what we call a picks pool with my
• 25:40
  Speaker 5: friends where everybody makes a pick every week and then
• 25:43
  Speaker 5: you put it all in a parlay and whoever loses
• 25:45
  Speaker 5: has to.
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: Pay for the next week's bet. Okay.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: I like that. Yes.
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: And somebody made a pick and I mocked them.
• 25:52
  Speaker 5: I was like, that is a god-awful pick and they
• 25:54
  Speaker 5: go okay what's your pick and i made this pick
• 25:56
  Speaker 5: and i was like this is this is not this
• 25:58
  Speaker 5: can't lose it just can't right lose.
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah can i guess what the pick was yeah you
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: you can my guess if this was the worst pick
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: ever yesterday the under and the bears panthers game.
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: You nailed it.
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: Really?
• 26:15
  Speaker 5: The over-under was 47. And I go, there is no
• 26:18
  Speaker 5: way in hell this game touches 45.
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: I wanted to ladder it.
• 26:24
  Speaker 5: I was going to go, I'm going to go 47, 45, 43,
• 26:27
  Speaker 5: because this game's ending 13-10.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: That's what's going to happen in this game.
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: I'm sure the Panthers will lose, but they'll play tough
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: at home. And not only... Did I lose the bet?
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: You lost it in the first quarter.
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: But it doubled.
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: It doubled.
• 26:42
  Speaker 5: Like, the over-under was 47. There was 96 points scored
• 26:46
  Speaker 5: in that game.
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: Yes. Stu, I'd rather lose a bet like that, though,
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: where the bet is very clearly going the opposite way,
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: and by the end of the first quarter, I don't
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: even have to think about it. It's like I don't
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: want to be let on for four quarters and then
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: we get backdoored with some kind of Caleb Williams touchdown.
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: Like that bet was over almost a second that game
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: kicked off.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: We'll get to Caleb in a second. What was the
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: total for that game, Mikey? First off, the way you
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: presented it to your friend, you can't do that because
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: you know there are no locks in the NFL. So
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: that's on you.
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: Well, that's the point of the whole thing is to
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: cop trash.
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: What was the total there?
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: It was 96.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: The over-under was set at 47 when I made the bet.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: So they scored 34 points combined in the second quarter.
• 27:28
  Speaker 5: Yep.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: After a 21-point first quarter.
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: Ben Johnson.
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: I lost by a half-time.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: They scored at least 14 points in every quarter.
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: I would have told you it was going to be
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: a 13-10 game.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: Yes. By the way, Kayla Williams, greatest quarterback of all time.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: So do you feel better about Caleb Williams today, or
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: do you feel better about Ben Johnson today?
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: Caleb.
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: No, Caleb.
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: I understand they're a bit of a package deal, and
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: you don't really have to have one success without the other.
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: Ben Johnson in the preseason was like, we are going
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: to set the NFL scoring record.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: And when somebody says that, it's almost like, oh, this
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: guy's a psycho. I do think Ben Johnson is a psycho,
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: but he's a good kind of psycho because he backs
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: up what he says.
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: Keep in mind, guys, he had job offers before he
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: left to take that job in Chicago. He took that
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: job in Chicago because Caleb Williams was the quarterback. So
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: if you think he's very good at his job, then
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: he's also very good at identifying who's the right quarterback
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: for his system and who he can win with, and
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: he chose that quarterback. Ben Johnson could have gone anywhere.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: He could have. Am I wrong?
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: No, you're not wrong.
• 28:36
  Speaker 5: I just think that The offensive philosophy, game plan, and
• 28:40
  Speaker 5: execution was more impressive than Caleb Williams.
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: And that's not to say Caleb Williams wasn't impressive.
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: I'm just saying they had, what, 200 yards rushing?
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: Something like that?
• 28:50
  Speaker 5: Like, that's... That's not Caleb Williams, even though Caleb Williams
• 28:54
  Speaker 5: ran for a bunch of those yards.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: He had 65 of them. They had two 100-yard rushers
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: in the game, and then Caleb was third with 65
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: and two touchdowns.
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: Mikey, when you see this stat line from the Bears
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: where they have 552 total yards of offense, they average
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: 7.9 yards per play. And Colson Loveland finishes with zero catches,
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: zero yards. Zero catches. I know the Bears are celebrating
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: in the locker room after week one.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: They should.
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: But Colson Loveland's probably sitting in that locker and being like,
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: all this yards, all these points, and I couldn't get
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: a catch.
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: Couldn't get me one.
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: Couldn't get me a two-yard out. And Cole Komet had
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: the big touchdown catch. Right.
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: But imagine when that guy clicks in. I mean, seriously.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: The Bears could win the Super Bowl. I'm not even joking.
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: That would be my... pick for a team that adjust
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: their expectations from a fan base.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: Chicago, yes.
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: Chicago, where.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, they made the playoffs last year and had
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: a magical ending to a playoff game.
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: They were the two seed.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: Right, they were the two seed last year.
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: They thought they were going to be good. With this
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: coach and that quarterback, they thought they were going to
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: be good. No?
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: But now Super Bowl good. Yes, I think that's the difference.
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: The Bears fans went into the season saying, let's hope for...
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: replicate the season that we had last year because the
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: turnaround in the NFL, just because a team was great
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: last year doesn't mean they're going to be great this year.
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: I think after week one, if you're doing overreactions, I
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: think Bears fans could stop saying, like, hey, let's just
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: get to the playoffs and more let's go win a
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: Super Bowl because that quarterback, that coach, it feels like
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: you have all the pieces you need.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: Mikey, do you think Arizona, that fan base, do they
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: care enough to change their expectations? Because you know what's
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: going on at WFAN today in New York. I mean,
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: it's Giants, Jets, Super Bowl. You know what's happening. You
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: think Arizona cares enough where they're calling into their local
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: radio show somewhere in Phoenix– To talk to, I don't know,
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: give me a former Cardinal, Stump Mitchell. Do you think
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: they're calling and saying, hey, cards to the Super Bowl?
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: Stump Mitchell was a good one.
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: That's not bad.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: EJ Jr. They're not, Arizona, right? They don't think they're
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: winning the Super Bowl.
• 31:00
  Speaker 5: No, I think you're probably, and this is the sad
• 31:03
  Speaker 5: state of fans, but I would imagine you have more
• 31:05
  Speaker 5: people that are angry about the win then you are
• 31:08
  Speaker 5: happy about the win because it's going to cost them
• 31:12
  Speaker 5: in the draft.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: That's an attractive job for a quarterback coming out of college, Arizona,
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: because you have McBride, right? You have Harrison, and you
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: have Jeremiah Love. It's not a bad spot for a
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: rookie quarterback.
• 31:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but the one thing every quarterback needs, every team needs,
• 31:28
  Speaker 5: is a better offensive line and a better defense.
• 31:32
  Speaker 4: That's what they need.
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: And they have the fun stuff on the outside. but
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure they have it up the middle.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: I'm just trying to identify who the Falcons are going
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: to sign as their next quarterback because it appears no
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: one wants to play quarterback for that team anymore.
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: I can tell you who's lurking around.
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: Cousins?
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: Phil Rivers.
• 31:49
  Speaker 4: Oh, Phil.
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: He always is.
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: Five years.
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: Five years when the insurance is going.
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: To go out.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: You think Flacco has his eyes on that job? Oh, 1,000%.
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: He would take it today.
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: 1,000%.
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: Get me out of Cincinnati. And if it goes bad
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: in Atlanta and you need me later in the season
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: because Burrow gets hurt, I'll be there.
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: They might win.
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: Let's do this. Quarterbacks that... Help the Falcons make a
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: deep run in the playoffs. Joe Flacco, deep run in
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: the playoffs. Falcons?
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: Deep run. They're in the playoffs.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: They make the playoffs.
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: Playoffs, yes.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: Is there a quarterback available where they go on a
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: deep run? Carson Wentz?
• 32:32
  Speaker 4: J.J.
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: McCarthy?
• 32:34
  Speaker 4: No.
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: No.
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: No. Got too far. I'm trying to think of a
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: quarterback that's out there.
• 32:41
  Speaker 5: Jameis?
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: Jameis?
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: I could talk myself into it.
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: That would be the most fun team in the NFL.
