  Mouth. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and

  www.worldwidesportsradio.com And I I stopped for a second because
• 3:04
  there is a lot to get into tonight.
• 3:07
  A lot of craziness in sports. Some of them I, I just wonder if
• 3:12
  these organizations actually know what they're doing and I, I
• 3:17
  will mention them as we move forward in the topics tonight.
• 3:20
  But nevertheless, I had an opportunity to go to Montreal,
• 3:24
  Canada and I, I drove about 7 1/2 hours to get there and 7 1/2
• 3:30
  hours to get home. It was craziness.
• 3:33
  And I will say this do not rent a Subaru four Wheeler because as
• 3:39
  much as it's so nice inside on the I guess the seats are just
• 3:43
  so damn bad. I hurt my ass.
• 3:46
  I had sciatica. It was horrible the whole drive
• 3:49
  home I was trying to like lean towards one like 1 cheek.
• 3:54
  And what I mean by cheek is my right cheek because my left
• 3:57
  cheek was absolutely in pain. I couldn't put pressure on it
• 4:00
  because it was shooting down my leg.
• 4:02
  Subaru cars are not the way to go Ladies and gentlemen, stay
• 4:06
  away from the Subaru cars. But I, I got a chance to go out
• 4:11
  there. I want to give a shout out to
• 4:12
  Brittany. She, you know, pretty much took
• 4:15
  care of the whole practically adventure over there to Montreal
• 4:18
  and we rented a car. It was fun.
• 4:21
  I guess at some points it was fun, but we got a chance to stay
• 4:24
  at the, I guess the Bonaventure. It it was a nice hotel.
• 4:28
  It was, it was really cool to go over there because I they have a
• 4:31
  heated pool. It was like foaming it, it it
• 4:35
  wasn't foaming. It was heated.
• 4:36
  It was like that. It was so cold outside.
• 4:39
  It was like 9° when we got there that the heat was just rising.
• 4:43
  It looked like. We were like the whole, the pool
• 4:46
  was a heating frenzy and they had a hot tub and it was, it was
• 4:52
  fun. It was definitely interesting.
• 4:54
  The only place you can go is the 10th floor, so you're like 10
• 4:57
  floors above everything in the city.
• 5:00
  It was, it was nice. It was a really nice hotel.
• 5:02
  We got a chance to sightsee on the final day, but it was
• 5:06
  snowing. It was garbage and and I got a
• 5:09
  can't. I got a chance to go to the
• 5:10
  underground mall. We went there multiple times
• 5:13
  because speed. It's speedy.
• 5:15
  Brittany loves the shop. She loves to go and buy those
• 5:18
  Canadian socks in those Canadian different, you know, peril.
• 5:23
  So she enjoyed it. I did buy a new pair of
• 5:26
  sneakers, ladies and gentlemen, as I always do.
• 5:27
  I bought a new pair of Clouds, I got a couple of new headbands
• 5:31
  and then off I went. But it was a cool four days.
• 5:35
  Jabba reached out to me, which I appreciate your job.
• 5:38
  Everybody reached out to me. Nithin couldn't stop bothering
• 5:41
  me. But I love Nithin.
• 5:44
  And by the way, Nithin is in the back end.
• 5:47
  Shout out to the old NIT, our PR manager, NNIL.
• 5:52
  Yes, he's the NIL vice president of his company.
• 5:55
  So he's doing some big things. We're working on some big
• 5:59
  stories and all that other stuff.
• 6:01
  Jabba, how are you, my friend? Everything's good, you know, we,
• 6:05
  we're, we're cold again. So the bipolar is, is done for a
• 6:09
  little bit and I'll just be cold.
• 6:12
  Just had to put in a huge Walmart order for my son.
• 6:17
  And other than that, man, it's just been kind of just getting
• 6:20
  back in that routine and just it's kind of nice to have that
• 6:24
  again after the holidays and getting settled.
• 6:27
  And I'll be in New York here come next week, so we'll figure
• 6:34
  that out. Yes, we will.
• 6:35
  Got to plan all that, but yeah, just nice to kind of get back in
• 6:39
  a schedule and get on a routine. And yeah, it's just getting
• 6:45
  excited with, with everything that's going on right now.
• 6:48
  It's it's kind of been all crazy, like just just trying to
• 6:52
  digest all of what is going on in sports right now from so many
• 6:56
  different angles. It's my brain is hurting, but
• 7:02
  it's a great time of the year. So I'm excited to talk about it
• 7:04
  all and share and see what see what you guys think about.
• 7:07
  I will say this, my brain has been hurting since Friday
• 7:11
  because everything that has happened when I was away
• 7:14
  happened. I mean, everything.
• 7:16
  And it seems like when it rains, it pours.
• 7:19
  And here in New York, boy, oh boy does it pour.
• 7:22
  And, and I think Giant fans are happy.
• 7:24
  And we will get into that. As John Harble was announced
• 7:27
  today as the new head coach of the New York Giants.
• 7:29
  I'm going to give you my take, ladies and gentlemen, why I do
• 7:32
  not believe John Harbaugh was the right choice.
• 7:35
  Just my opinion on the Jackson dart development, but that's a
• 7:40
  whole nother story. We will get into that in a very
• 7:42
  few, I guess a few segments. We'll get into the whole higher
• 7:47
  frenzy and the craziness that's gone on over the last couple of
• 7:50
  days. But yeah, a little bit later in
• 7:52
  the show at 9:30, we'll be talking to Vikings linebacker,
• 7:55
  Well, former linebacker and current Vikings radio show
• 7:58
  broadcaster and radio show host. Ladies and gentlemen, gentlemen,
• 8:01
  Pete Persik will be joining us. He loves us.
• 8:04
  We love him. And I'm sure he'll have some
• 8:06
  Jets jokes. So of course, a lot of Jets
• 8:08
  jokes. I mean, why not?
• 8:09
  I mean, Robert Soller is now a Titan.
• 8:11
  We will get into that a little bit later.
• 8:13
  Oh, man, I put we're going to be putting out a story must read.
• 8:17
  I'm telling you, Speedy, read it twice because you couldn't stop
• 8:20
  playing. So a lot to get into.
• 8:22
  And like Choppa said, we're going to get into it right now.
• 8:25
  The Broncos beat the Bills 33 to 30 in overtime to advance to
• 8:30
  their first AFC championship game since 2015.
• 8:34
  The Broncos defense forced 5 turnovers in this game,
• 8:38
  including a controversial interception in overtime on a
• 8:42
  play that looked like it was a catch by Cooks.
• 8:46
  The Seahawks blew out the 49ers 41 to 6 to advance to their
• 8:50
  first NFC Championship Game since 2014.
• 8:54
  Rashid Shahid had a kick off return touchdown on the first
• 8:58
  play of the game and the Seahawks ran away with it after
• 9:02
  that. The Patriots beat the Texans 28
• 9:05
  to 16 in a sloppy turnover, filed game or filled game.
• 9:09
  I I guess I'm going to file it. CJ Stroud had four interceptions
• 9:13
  and the Texans offensive line allowed five sacks in this game.
• 9:16
  The Rams won in overtime 20 to 17 to beat the Bears, the only
• 9:21
  Rd. team to win in the NFL Divisional Round.
• 9:25
  Caleb Williams had an unbelievable throw to Cole
• 9:28
  Commit to tie the game with 18 seconds left in regulations.
• 9:34
  But to tie the game in 18 seconds left a little damper
• 9:40
  because when it went to overtime, yes ladies and
• 9:44
  gentlemen, he threw an interception in overtime which
• 9:47
  led to a Rams game-winning field goal kick.
• 9:53
  So let's get into the Broncos game and Sean McDermott is no
• 9:58
  longer the head coach of the Buffalo Bills.
• 10:01
  And I don't know if we're going to blame Sean McDermott for this
• 10:04
  loss. He did speak up after the game.
• 10:06
  He said his piece. He he stuck up for his team.
• 10:09
  He stuck up for his organization.
• 10:11
  That shows a lot about who Sean McDermott is.
• 10:14
  He said a lot of graceful things about Josh Allen.
• 10:18
  Josh Allen went up there after the game, cried.
• 10:20
  It showed he put his heart out there.
• 10:22
  We love that about Josh Allen. He's one of very few guys that
• 10:25
  will go out there and cry in front of the media and give his
• 10:28
  personality and show his personality to the world.
• 10:32
  That's something special about this kid and why I think Josh
• 10:35
  Allen is an elite and one of the elite quarterbacks in this
• 10:38
  league and has been one of the elite quarterbacks in this
• 10:40
  league for over 10 years. But here's the facts and this is
• 10:45
  the facts. This game went back and forth.
• 10:48
  Was it sloppy? There was some sloppiness in the
• 10:51
  game. There's no question when you
• 10:53
  have 5 fourths turnovers, there's definitely a sloppy.
• 10:56
  It was definitely a sloppy game and Josh Allen didn't have one
• 10:59
  of his unbelievable games. But Josh put his team on his
• 11:02
  shoulders. He made every single play he
• 11:05
  needed to to get this game into overtime, and he came up short.
• 11:10
  And the Bills come up short every single time, over and over
• 11:14
  and over again. Against Kansas City, over the
• 11:16
  years, against Baltimore, against the Bengals.
• 11:19
  It seems like Josh Allen can never get over the hump.
• 11:22
  And this year, he had his chance.
• 11:24
  Bonex is a rookie quarterback. He's not a rookie.
• 11:27
  He's been in a league for a couple of years.
• 11:29
  But to me, this guy is a rookie. He doesn't know what to do in
• 11:33
  the playoffs. And, and again, going into this
• 11:35
  game, I didn't expect Bonex to have a great game, But he showed
• 11:39
  up in certain parts of the game. He made certain throws that was
• 11:43
  fun to watch. And I could say this about
• 11:45
  Bonex, if he was still in the playoffs, if he didn't break his
• 11:49
  ankle as he did and it was announced by Sean Payton at the
• 11:52
  end of the game, maybe the Broncos go to a Super Bowl and
• 11:55
  maybe Bo Nicks and the Broncos win a Super Bowl.
• 11:59
  But I don't know if they're going to.
• 12:00
  Because to me, when you look at this game, there's a lot of
• 12:04
  questions about this Broncos team.
• 12:06
  First, this. This is an elite defense.
• 12:09
  This is one of the best defenses in the league.
• 12:11
  One of the best secondaries in the league.
• 12:13
  Yes, they forced 5 turnovers, but made a lot of mistakes in
• 12:16
  this game against a Buffalo Bills team that didn't have a
• 12:19
  number one wide receiver. Not one number one wide
• 12:23
  receiver. If you think Shakur is one of
• 12:28
  those guys, you're out of your damn mind.
• 12:31
  They don't have a #1 Coleman played at certain parts of this
• 12:33
  game. They have not had.
• 12:35
  They lost Gabe Davis. They have not had a number one
• 12:38
  wide receiver since somebody that's playing for the Patriots
• 12:41
  and you know, I'm speaking about.
• 12:43
  All your favorites. Stefan Diggs, they haven't had
• 12:46
  one of those guys. And these are the facts here.
• 12:50
  The Broncos to me are not an elite offense.
• 12:54
  They're not. They don't have I they have a
• 12:56
  great wide receiver. They don't have any elite wide
• 12:59
  receiver, they don't have elite offensive style of players.
• 13:03
  Now, obviously we'll get into the Patriots and we will get
• 13:06
  into the Broncos as we move into Thursday.
• 13:09
  But the fact here is I worry about this particular team in
• 13:14
  the Broncos because if they could stop Harvey, if teams can
• 13:18
  stop Harvey, what do they have offensively?
• 13:22
  They're they've been known to run the ball.
• 13:24
  You know, Sean Payton is that old time type of football.
• 13:27
  He likes to run the ball first throw second.
• 13:30
  This is not Drew Brees. Bo Nicks is not Drew Brees over
• 13:33
  the years. Now they got a guy named Stidham
• 13:36
  who's going to be the quarterback in in the AFC title
• 13:41
  game. There's a lot of questions to
• 13:43
  where the Broncos are going to go and move on.
• 13:45
  What I do know about this particular game is Josh Allen
• 13:48
  was the best quarterback still in the playoffs besides Matthew
• 13:53
  Stafford. As far as I'm concerned.
• 13:55
  When you look at CJ Strout, a young guy, I would say rookie in
• 13:59
  the playoffs, a guy that doesn't have a lot of experience.
• 14:01
  Bonics don't have a lot of experience in the playoffs.
• 14:04
  Caleb Williams don't have a lot of experience in the playoffs.
• 14:06
  Drake May doesn't have a lot of experience in the playoffs and
• 14:09
  you you look at all these guys and how about Sam Donald doesn't
• 14:13
  have a lot of experience in this the playoffs.
• 14:15
  Brock Birdie has experience and just absolutely blew it and
• 14:19
  we'll get into it in in just a few moments.
• 14:22
  The fact here is when I look at the Broncos, it was fun to
• 14:26
  watch. The Broncos got lucky.
• 14:28
  It was a missed call by the referees.
• 14:31
  I've always said that the game is rigged.
• 14:33
  I believe the NFL is trying to give the Patriots the easiest
• 14:37
  way, the easiest path to the Super Bowl.
• 14:40
  I'll. I don't care what anybody says.
• 14:42
  I've always believed A controversy.
• 14:45
  Yeah, I think it's controversy. You want to say I'm
• 14:48
  controversial? I'm as controversial as they
• 14:51
  get. The fact here is the fact that
• 14:55
  you hear that Bonex goes down and he's out for the playoffs.
• 14:58
  And I'm not saying the league wanted or knows that Bonex was
• 15:01
  going to go down. I'm not saying that.
• 15:03
  But this, this game should have been over.
• 15:06
  Brady Cooks caught that ball. He was down.
• 15:08
  His knee hit the ground. It was ripped out of his hands,
• 15:13
  ripped out of his hands when he was down, but nevertheless the
• 15:17
  referees missed it and didn't want to call a timeout, didn't
• 15:20
  want to review it, didn't want to do anything.
• 15:21
  Sean McDermott was absolutely right.
• 15:23
  But guess what? There's no crying in football.
• 15:26
  As we all know in sports. We've heard it actually in
• 15:31
  baseball, we we all know when somebody had said in a league of
• 15:34
  their own and Tom Hanks said it, there's no crying in baseball.
• 15:38
  This is a manly sport. There's no crying in football,
• 15:42
  except if you're Josh Allen, and I got to give him credit for
• 15:45
  that. Showed his, showed his
• 15:47
  personality, showed who he is as a person.
• 15:49
  I I'm just telling you right now, going into this game,
• 15:52
  looking at this game and look at the true hope.
• 15:55
  If you're a Broncos fan, I know Joppa, your son is a Broncos fan
• 15:59
  and we're going to go from game to game and I'm going to ask you
• 16:01
  all your opinions. But the fact here is the Broncos
• 16:05
  to me is not made to win a Super Bowl without Bonex.
• 16:10
  And I don't even know if with Bonex they would go to the Super
• 16:14
  Bowl knowing that the Patriots are as bad as they they have
• 16:19
  been with Drake May in the play offs and Drake May has not
• 16:22
  looked good in the play offs. I don't care what anybody says,
• 16:24
  he has not looked good. I don't want to hear what the
• 16:26
  announcers say. I don't want to hear what the
• 16:27
  analysts say. He has not looked good when he
• 16:30
  goes against great talent. He's had problems against great
• 16:34
  talent. I don't know if I trust this
• 16:37
  team as a whole when it comes down to winning the big game
• 16:41
  Speedy. Yeah, I've always been under the
• 16:43
  belief that the NFC had the top four teams probably going into
• 16:46
  the playoffs. If obviously if Michael Parson
• 16:48
  was healthy for the Packers, I thought that was the angle it
• 16:50
  was on. Obviously, now that he's not, it
• 16:52
  was probably the Bills were my AFC pick as well in the Super
• 16:55
  Bowl. I thought it made a lot of
• 16:56
  sense. They had the number one pass
• 16:57
  defense in the league and Denver I didn't think could run the
• 17:00
  ball enough consistently in this game.
• 17:02
  But the Broncos and the Bills, and This is why I probably will
• 17:05
  get to McDermott getting fired later.
• 17:07
  But I think the biggest reason why McDermott eventually they
• 17:09
  had to wear out on him. The Bills defense has been
• 17:11
  historically bad in the playoffs.
• 17:13
  And I think a lot of that had to do with facing top offense,
• 17:17
  obviously. But still you've seen good
• 17:19
  defenses still be able to win. And the Broncos, you're right,
• 17:22
  they're not a lethal passing attack.
• 17:24
  They shut down Courtland Sutton. He had two catches in the whole
• 17:26
  game. And they let Marvin Mims do a
• 17:28
  bunch of great things. They let the these tight ends
• 17:31
  get it going in the later in the game.
• 17:33
  And I think for that reason, you can't blame Josh Allen.
• 17:37
  But at the same time, Josh Allen did have those turnovers at
• 17:40
  lateral play made absolutely no sense.
• 17:42
  Like I don't know where he was seeing something there.
• 17:44
  I know we've seen teams a lot more do these hook and ladder
• 17:46
  type plays. But again, it's one of those
• 17:49
  things that you have to a team blamed if they think.
• 17:53
  And that's why I don't think the Broncos are great either.
• 17:55
  The NFC has the best teams left. We'll get to the other games in
• 17:57
  a bit, but they're the quality of the Seahawks and the Rams are
• 18:00
  that much more significant than the quality of the Broncos.
• 18:02
  The Bills are the only shot to do it.
• 18:03
  And then again, they throw it away.
• 18:04
  They just keep beating themselves in any way.
• 18:06
  Now, again, you mentioned the referee you call.
• 18:08
  Was it a catch? Was it not?
• 18:09
  I don't think you could do that justification like you did last
• 18:12
  year with the Chiefs. Last year, it was obviously a
• 18:14
  first down. Like they should have gotten
• 18:15
  that first down call on the QB sneak.
• 18:17
  The pass interference I thought was the right call, the non pass
• 18:20
  interference I thought was the right call on the Broncos.
• 18:22
  And I just don't know if there was enough to overturn it on a
• 18:24
  catch. What I have called it a catch
• 18:26
  probably, but I don't know if there was enough to overturn it.
• 18:28
  And that's why I can't blame them here for this instance to
• 18:31
  say that kind of thing. Was there conspiracy with the
• 18:34
  Patriots and the Broncos wanting them in the AFC championship
• 18:37
  game Again, who knows, but who knows.
• 18:39
  Would it be funny if Jared Siddam gets his revenge on the
• 18:41
  on the on the Patriots after Jeff who loved Jarrett, said him
• 18:44
  at the time when he got drafted in 2019 was rave?
• 18:47
  Oh, the Patriots got their QB of the future.
• 18:49
  Wouldn't have been funny to see them knocked out.
• 18:50
  But yeah, it's tough to tell with this Broncos team if they
• 18:52
  could actually do it. Yeah, I was wondering too.
• 18:56
  Like I wanted to get your guys's perspective of this.
• 18:58
  Like you, you've seen a lot more.
• 19:02
  I guess the best word to use is trickery.
• 19:04
  Like are the like, is that the right time or like sweetie, like
• 19:07
  you said, like what did he see like to do those things?
• 19:10
  Like do you think this is the right time to to use those type
• 19:14
  of plays and bring it out of the playbook?
• 19:16
  I just I don't think this. I don't even think that was a
• 19:18
  design play. I just think it was just Josh
• 19:20
  Allen thinking he had a lateral and it just backfired on and
• 19:23
  then badly at the wrong spot in the game.
• 19:25
  It's one thing if you're trying in the third quarter or
• 19:27
  something, you're at the end of the half and you're giving him a
• 19:29
  gift field goal essentially. Yeah, I, it's, I think there
• 19:34
  was, there was a tale of a lot of stuff that was going on.
• 19:38
  And I think defensively, offensively there, there were a
• 19:42
  couple, I guess either, I don't know if it was miscommunication
• 19:47
  from from one side or the other, but it just it felt like
• 19:51
  something was a little off on certain guys.
• 19:54
  And I don't know if the moment got too big or they couldn't
• 19:56
  slow the game down or they just weren't able to read what was
• 20:01
  going on as far as, you know, plays and check offs and all the
• 20:05
  other stuff. And it was, it was interesting
• 20:08
  because like. When you guys say like, did they
• 20:11
  want them in in this situation and is it rigged?
• 20:16
  I hate to admit when Errol's right or he's almost right, but
• 20:21
  I think he's on to something where it, I wouldn't say it's
• 20:26
  scripted, but it's put into place.
• 20:31
  And I know everybody's going to attack me when I come out with
• 20:34
  these these crazy theories. And it is a theory.
• 20:37
  But guess what? I've been saying it for 10 years
• 20:39
  and now you have ex NFL players going out on podcast and saying
• 20:43
  the same thing that I'm saying. And I've been saying it.
• 20:45
  I've been attacked by fans all over the world.
• 20:47
  Speedy How many people have attacked?
• 20:49
  Me. Oh believe me, my first year I
• 20:50
  was with the network. Remember your whole Tom Brady's
• 20:53
  cast is fake and Jeff ripped you.
• 20:56
  For everybody ripped me for it. Everybody ripped me for all
• 20:59
  these particular theories that I have, but guess what?
• 21:04
  As much as their theories, their theories that have somewhat
• 21:07
  grown over the years and now everybody is saying it.
• 21:11
  Now you have Stephen A Smith bringing it up.
• 21:12
  Hey, maybe this is true. Maybe it is rigged or there's
• 21:15
  other guys, other analysts. Pat McAfee has said it on his
• 21:18
  show quite a few times that he thinks that there's some things
• 21:21
  about the NFL that's kind of become more scripted, maybe
• 21:24
  because of betting, sports betting, I don't know.
• 21:27
  But here's my theory to the situation.
• 21:30
  When you think about the way the referees make calls in certain
• 21:34
  football games, you wonder if there is somebody speaking to
• 21:37
  them upstairs telling them something during the game.
• 21:41
  Or if something happens during the game on maybe calling it not
• 21:47
  a catch or hits the ground or something of that magnitude.
• 21:50
  And I, and I believe in this particular moment, I, I think
• 21:55
  Sean McDermott was absolutely right.
• 21:57
  This was a. Do you think in the headset?
• 21:59
  Because they obviously never let us hear the headset?
• 22:01
  Yes. You think there's things being
• 22:03
  said 100%, That's why we don't get to hear that. 100% I, I
• 22:07
  think the NFL, obviously with the referees, you're not going
• 22:10
  to hear what the referees are saying.
• 22:11
  And you know, I don't know if anybody knows.
• 22:13
  Whenever there's a penalty called or some kind of call,
• 22:16
  usually the referees go and talk to the coaches right after that
• 22:19
  play. What are the referees try to do?
• 22:20
  They tried to speed up the play, right?
• 22:22
  They tried to move the play along as quick as they can so
• 22:26
  there was no stoppage of play and they can move on to the
• 22:28
  game. So they don't call a time out or
• 22:31
  something is not called. And, and to me, Sean McDermott
• 22:35
  was absolutely right. I think he had he had a reason
• 22:38
  to argue about that. I think he's upset about it.
• 22:40
  He lost his job possibly because of that one play.
• 22:43
  Think about it, if Buffalo moves on, I think the only way
• 22:47
  McDermott wins his or keeps his job is if they make it to the
• 22:51
  Super Bowl. That's the only way he keeps his
• 22:53
  job. I just think that this is their
• 22:55
  best chance. When you don't have Pat Patrick
• 22:57
  Mahomes in the playoffs or Joe Burrow or Lamar Jackson dealing
• 23:01
  with three of those guys that are tremendous talented
• 23:03
  quarterbacks who you can argue those are the four, the four
• 23:06
  most talented quarterbacks in the league and the elite
• 23:09
  quarterbacks of the elite besides Matthew Stafford.
• 23:12
  You, you would say that these guys are the faces of the NFL
• 23:15
  and they're not in the playoffs for the first time in their
• 23:17
  careers all together. It tells you this is your
• 23:20
  easiest ride to the finals. This is your easiest ride to
• 23:23
  give your Super Bowl. And they failed.
• 23:26
  They failed against to me, I know it was in Denver, a team
• 23:30
  that they're better than I, I don't care what anybody says.
• 23:32
  And, and maybe the records don't show that because Denver had the
• 23:35
  best record in the EFC. Denver was very lucky on a lot
• 23:38
  of these games all season long. Everything fell their way and
• 23:42
  this game did not fall their way.
• 23:44
  As a matter of fact, they can. To me, Buffalo can run the ball
• 23:47
  and they did pretty well stopping the run 2 in this game.
• 23:50
  They did very well to me. I thought this was going to be
• 23:55
  just a complete dominant of running and and potential
• 23:58
  running against the the Buffalo Bills because the Buffalo Bills
• 24:02
  have been so bad at stopping the run this year.
• 24:04
  But guess what? It wasn't.
• 24:05
  It was very close. It was back and forth and again,
• 24:09
  Josh Allen just couldn't do enough to win that game.
• 24:13
  Speaking of not doing enough the 49ers, what an embarrassment.
• 24:19
  I will say this and I'll say this because our friend Owen is
• 24:24
  probably listening right now. Owen reached out to me after the
• 24:28
  49ers moved on to play Seattle. He says, are you going to ever
• 24:32
  give Kyle Shanahan his props? And I said, no, I'm not.
• 24:36
  And he says why not? He's look what he's doing with
• 24:38
  all these injuries, OK? I said we'll wait and see what
• 24:42
  he does in Seattle and what did he do in Seattle?
• 24:45
  It looked like Kyle Shanahan didn't have the troops moving
• 24:48
  because Seattle was dancing around and prancing around after
• 24:52
  winning, after winning the the conference, winning the NFC.
• 24:57
  They were dancing and it was on their board.
• 24:59
  Everybody was like Christian McCaffrey was all about Kyle
• 25:01
  Shanahan and Ed McCaffrey and Michael Shanahan.
• 25:05
  They were talking about the connection and how great it is
• 25:08
  and what did what happened in this game.
• 25:10
  Well, let's look at the score. Let's look at the score and the
• 25:13
  score will tell you everything. Let's look at it.
• 25:16
  It was 41 to 6. Now, when you look at a score
• 25:22
  like this, you would think, I don't know, Browns, Arizona, New
• 25:28
  York Jets, I mean, you name it. That's that's the kind of score
• 25:32
  you would expect from teams like this, not the San Francisco
• 25:36
  49ers. And I don't want to hear about
• 25:37
  George Kittle or any of these Nick Bosar or any of these guys
• 25:44
  order I I don't want to hear. I don't want to hear about any
• 25:48
  of these guys being out. You play who's ever in front of
• 25:51
  you and you and your team, Owen, Kyle, Shanahan and yes, Bambi
• 25:58
  Sala, who is now the head coach of the Titans and I'll get into
• 26:01
  that a little bit later. He didn't show up.
• 26:03
  Sala did not show up to this game or he didn't have his
• 26:06
  troops show up to this game because they were nowhere to be
• 26:08
  found. And Brock Purdy, who's looked
• 26:11
  good all season when he's come back, has in this game.
• 26:15
  I don't even think he believed that he was playing in the game.
• 26:17
  I think he was playing in an arcade.
• 26:20
  Think about it. 15 for 27140 yards, one interception, no
• 26:25
  thrown touchdowns, none. Brock Purdy.
• 26:28
  That's unheard of since he's come back.
• 26:31
  Brock Purdy has been the most efficient quarterback in the NFL
• 26:35
  since he's been back. You think about it.
• 26:37
  I don't want to hear you still have Christian McCaffrey.
• 26:40
  Christian McCaffrey rush for 35 yards, 35, and he caught for 39.
• 26:46
  Tell me the last time that on all-purpose yards that Christian
• 26:50
  McCaffrey didn't have over 100 yards.
• 26:52
  I can't even remember. And that goes for Mike McDonald.
• 26:56
  And you know what I'm talking about speedy Mr. McDonald, who
• 27:01
  has been the best coach in the NFL all season long, who I
• 27:04
  believe is coach of the year. He has been sensational.
• 27:08
  He deserves a little bit more credit than anybody gives him
• 27:11
  because guess what? Since he's left the Baltimore
• 27:15
  Ravens, where is Baltimore's defense been ranked?
• 27:18
  Horrible. He's left and Sanford and and
• 27:21
  you think what Seattle's done since he's gone there, I don't
• 27:24
  know. He takes Sam Donald now.
• 27:26
  Sam Donald, do you have an out like outspoken game that he
• 27:31
  spoke volumes of what he is in the playoffs.
• 27:33
  He was 12 for 17124 yards. That is not great, but he didn't
• 27:39
  need to be great because guess what?
• 27:40
  He had Kenneth friggin Walker, who had 19 rushing yards, 116
• 27:48
  yards and three touchdowns, absolutely exploding off the
• 27:51
  paper, who has been a beast since he's been drafted and I
• 27:55
  remember when he was drafted in the second round.
• 27:58
  They have had a tandem of players all season long show up.
• 28:03
  We all, hey everybody keeps making fun of Cooper Cup. 5
• 28:05
  receptions for 60 yards is pretty damn good.
• 28:09
  How about Jackson Smith Najigba, who didn't have one of his best
• 28:13
  games? He didn't need to three for 19.
• 28:17
  That's what he had. He had a touchdown. 3 receptions
• 28:20
  for 19 yards. When was the last time you know
• 28:22
  Jackson Najigba had only 19 yards in the game?
• 28:27
  Here's what I'm going to say. What happened in this game, and
• 28:30
  it's pretty simple, The 49ers and Kyle Shanahan had his head
• 28:33
  up his ass. That's what happened.
• 28:35
  And, and, and Robert AKA Bambi Sala was probably thinking he
• 28:39
  was in a Disney movie because he was definitely not playing in
• 28:42
  this game. Because if he was, he would
• 28:44
  actually knew how to call the right place.
• 28:47
  Because to me it was run, run and more run.
• 28:51
  And they couldn't stop the run, which I got news for you.
• 28:54
  I I don't know how that's going to work in Titanville because to
• 28:58
  me this was an embarrassment, an absolute embarrassment.
• 29:03
  And to me, it's a firing offense.
• 29:05
  Kyle Shanahan losing 41 to 6 as a National Football game,
• 29:12
  divisional game against the Seattle Seahawks team.
• 29:15
  Yes, they were home. Yes, they're the best team in
• 29:17
  the NFC. They had many chances.
• 29:19
  They played them twice this year and we're in both those games
• 29:24
  and then go into a game in the playoffs and lay up a lousy
• 29:27
  goose egg. To me, it is a firing offense.
• 29:31
  So yes, Owen, I'm not going to compliment, compliment Kyle
• 29:34
  Shanahan because here's the facts.
• 29:36
  Kyle Shanahan, as we all know, can't coach the big game, can't
• 29:40
  call the big plays, and the guy is a failure to launch.
• 29:44
  Remember that I've been naming movies.
• 29:46
  Remember that speedy failure to launch Matthew McConaughey
• 29:50
  because he wasn't launching anything but a stick up his ass?
• 29:53
  Yeah. And again, that game looked like
• 29:55
  it was being coached by Robert Salo when he was a head coach.
• 29:57
  Like, that's how bad it is. It was for the 49ers.
• 29:59
  I always thought they were kind of fraudulent anyway.
• 30:01
  Like they did well with surviving the injuries
• 30:04
  throughout the regular season, fine.
• 30:05
  But again, the NFC West, there's a reason there's three teams
• 30:07
  there. They had one of the easier
• 30:09
  schedules coming into the league.
• 30:10
  And we talked about all time the 49ers had the preseason, the
• 30:12
  easiest schedule coming into the league.
• 30:14
  Obviously the Patriots now surpassed that, but
• 30:16
  nevertheless, they were a team that was battling through and
• 30:19
  winning in ways were very ugly. Their point differential wasn't
• 30:22
  great throughout the year and now you're certainly seeing them
• 30:24
  because a really high quality, well-rounded Seahawks team, just
• 30:27
  how good they are. The Seahawks do it on all three
• 30:29
  levels. The Seahawks have always prided
• 30:31
  themselves on special teams. What do they do?
• 30:33
  They get a kick return touchdown, the first play of the
• 30:35
  game. And 49ers who fired their
• 30:38
  defensive or special teams coaching staff for a while and
• 30:41
  had a special teams coach to their previous defensive
• 30:42
  coordinator before the great Bambi Sala.
• 30:46
  We're not ready for that kind of thing.
• 30:47
  And Brock Purdy I was worried about it being being ready for
• 30:50
  the interior pressure that Seattle brings a three good
• 30:52
  defensive tackles and boy did they get out matched in this
• 30:54
  game. Brock Purdy had no time to throw
• 30:56
  the ball and they have no receivers that can create
• 30:58
  separation because they decided, all right, let's make our best
• 31:01
  receiver, our best route runner. And Brandon Iuke frustrated when
• 31:04
  he came back from injury, so he never wanted to come back at all
• 31:07
  in Week 12 or Week 13 when he was ready.
• 31:10
  And all right, let's just go in with what we got.
• 31:12
  No Ricky Pierce, all because he's hurt too.
• 31:14
  All right, let's see where we're going to go with.
• 31:15
  We're going to go with DeMarcus Robinson.
• 31:18
  You mentioned last week, Jawan Jennings, who's fine but can't
• 31:20
  separate. Yeah, that's the guy we're going
• 31:22
  to go up against against Devin Witherspoon and I'm in Warry and
• 31:25
  Kobe Bryant and all these other guys that are really good in the
• 31:28
  secondary and a pass rushes. That's good.
• 31:30
  Then we go to the great Bambi Sal on his defense, a defense
• 31:33
  that has struggled to rush the passer since they lost.
• 31:35
  Nick Bose can't get pressure on Sam Darnold and Sam Donald, like
• 31:39
  you said, didn't have to throw the ball much.
• 31:40
  And that's another scary level that Seattle has to bring
• 31:42
  because they can run the ball effectively in this game with a
• 31:45
  17 nothing lead. And we talked about it
• 31:47
  throughout the year. Their their rushing volume is
• 31:49
  actually still really high. As good as Najiba's season was
• 31:52
  that they could just play that kind of game against a bad run
• 31:54
  defense and the 49ers, a rookie essentially defensive line with
• 31:58
  all these linebackers that are hurt and all these other guys
• 32:00
  hurt. And they just played a complete
• 32:02
  ball controlled defensive coach type of game with a little mixer
• 32:05
  of Seahawks flashiness and special teams in there.
• 32:07
  And the 49ers and Bambi Sala and Kyle Shannon were not ready.
• 32:12
  That's what kind of what I said earlier.
• 32:14
  It just, it felt like something was off and you've seen that
• 32:19
  team answer the bell all year with the injuries and CMC
• 32:24
  obviously being healthy and doing that.
• 32:27
  And like they, they alienated, I feel like from what they've done
• 32:32
  all year. Obviously the Seahawks change a
• 32:35
  little bit of that and in the way they defend and what they
• 32:37
  can do. But it just felt like as an, as
• 32:41
  a coach and, and you know, as a scheme, you make those
• 32:44
  adjustments and they didn't make any adjustments.
• 32:46
  That game was tough to watch. And I you felt it from the kick
• 32:51
  off when they ran a baggage court.
• 32:52
  And I'm like, Oh, I don't think this is going to end well, but I
• 32:55
  didn't think it was going to end like.
• 32:56
  That Java just just ask your ask your son's team how that works
• 32:59
  for them when they played in the Super Bowl a. 100% and you know,
• 33:03
  he's, he literally called me as soon as it was over.
• 33:07
  And then, you know, 15 minutes later he's texting and he's
• 33:09
  like, damn it. And I'm like, well, yeah, it's,
• 33:12
  it's going to be a little bit different now.
• 33:15
  And I had to ask him. I go, who the hell is your
• 33:16
  backup at this point? Like I had, I had no idea.
• 33:20
  Like, and he was like, you don't want to know.
• 33:23
  And I'm like, do I know him? And he goes, no.
• 33:25
  And then he I was like, I have no idea who the hell that is.
• 33:28
  But the Niners for, for what they've got through season with
• 33:34
  all the injuries and then to lay an egg like that, it just it
• 33:38
  kind of boggled my mind that they didn't make any
• 33:40
  adjustments. They've obviously done it
• 33:42
  throughout the year and they just, they didn't, they look
• 33:45
  flat. There was no adjustments.
• 33:48
  And when we talk about coaching as as we've done and how
• 33:51
  important that is, when you see how the game is progressing and
• 33:56
  you don't make the adjustments and you don't change up a play
• 34:00
  call, you don't change up your scheme, you don't change
• 34:01
  anything. And you score 6 points and CMC
• 34:04
  has less than 75 all-purpose yards.
• 34:07
  I'd have to look it up. I don't know that answer, but I
• 34:09
  don't know the last time that he's had less than that.
• 34:12
  Tampa did it once, I think when he was with Carolina, like I
• 34:15
  remember, I think he had like. 10 yards in the.
• 34:17
  Game, Yeah. This guy is one of the best pass
• 34:21
  catching running backs in NFL history.
• 34:24
  If you look at his numbers, they're ridiculous.
• 34:26
  And to see what CMC couldn't do in this game.
• 34:29
  And it says a lot about McDonald during the way he calls his
• 34:32
  plays. And, and you have to give some
• 34:34
  of the defensive players a lot of credit because they were
• 34:37
  sensational. They did everything they needed
• 34:38
  to do to keep their team in the game.
• 34:41
  And, and again, I that goes a lot for Williams and a lot of
• 34:44
  people, including Jet fans were wondering what happened to
• 34:47
  Williams when he was here with the New York Jets.
• 34:50
  He was drafted by the New York Jets.
• 34:51
  He was a first round talent. This guy was an elite player
• 34:54
  coming from USC. Remember that Speedy.
• 34:57
  And then he goes to the Giants. The Giants sign him and he
• 34:59
  played pretty well with the Giants.
• 35:01
  The Giants overpaid him and the Giants let him go.
• 35:04
  The Giants let him go. As a matter of fact, the Giants
• 35:06
  traded him and he goes over there to Seattle and then
• 35:09
  McDonald goes over there and develops him even more.
• 35:11
  This guy has gone through layers in his career and now he's
• 35:15
  becoming a lead pass rusher, an elite defensive player, elite
• 35:19
  defensive lineman. Going from The Jets to the
• 35:22
  Giants and now going to a team that is giving him an
• 35:25
  opportunity to become an elite player says a lot about the
• 35:28
  team. Their secondary is sensational,
• 35:29
  speedy, absolutely sensational. What Seattle does and what the
• 35:32
  way they put pressure up and, and, and they make you, they
• 35:35
  force you to throw the ball into places feel so very
• 35:38
  uncomfortable doing. Kyle Shanahan had no answer, no
• 35:43
  answer to Seattle's defense, none whatsoever.
• 35:46
  By the I believe by the second quarter, I think Kyle Shanahan
• 35:50
  was waving the red flag. I, I really do believe he knew
• 35:53
  that there was no way in hell they were coming back in this
• 35:55
  game. And that says a lot about who
• 35:57
  McDonald is and the way he coaches.
• 35:59
  The way the place think about it, before this game, everybody
• 36:03
  was talking about the board being, whoa, let's watch.
• 36:06
  Let's go see these guys celebrate what they did, winning
• 36:09
  the conference and dancing and prancing around and drinking
• 36:12
  wine like they won a Super Bowl. They were going to a Super Bowl
• 36:15
  And and that was something that IA lot of people believe they
• 36:18
  were going to mimic and and and try to attack going into the
• 36:22
  game. San Francisco.
• 36:23
  Well ladies and gentlemen, before the game started and
• 36:26
  after the game, the only team that's dancing and prancing
• 36:28
  around is the same team that was doing it before the season ends
• 36:32
  ended. It was Seattle.
• 36:34
  They absolutely embarrassed the San Francisco 49ers with George
• 36:40
  Kittle. Not with George Kittle.
• 36:42
  You could put Nick Bosa there, Warner, it doesn't matter who
• 36:45
  was there. I don't think they stood a
• 36:47
  chance against the Seattle Seahawks team.
• 36:50
  They had a game plan. They out outsmarted Robert
• 36:54
  Soller and outplay called Kyle Shanahan.
• 36:57
  That is the facts Jack and that's all I'm going to say
• 36:59
  about that. There is nothing else to say
• 37:02
  about about this game, but utter embarrassment by San Francisco
• 37:06
  putting up and laying up a lousy goose egg.
• 37:09
  Being that, guess where the Super Bowl is going to be this
• 37:12
  year, Speedy. Oh yeah, San.
• 37:13
  Francisco remember the last time it was in San Francisco?
• 37:16
  Who was playing in it? Oh, it was.
• 37:18
  It was the Broncos, I believe. No, it wasn't.
• 37:22
  Was it the IT was the Broncos and the Panthers, I'm pretty
• 37:24
  sure. No, it wasn't the last time they
• 37:26
  played in San Francisco. Speedy was the San Francisco
• 37:31
  49ers and the Baltimore Ravens. Remember when the lights went
• 37:34
  out? That was New Orleans.
• 37:36
  You sure that was new? That was in New Orleans,
• 37:37
  remember, because I had the conspiracy theory.
• 37:39
  Wait a second, you sure about that?
• 37:40
  Yes, because I remember I was, I was in high schools my senior
• 37:43
  year of high school. I remember I had the conspiracy
• 37:45
  theory of, oh, this is Sean Payton's revenge on the Saints
• 37:47
  organization. Oh OK, so maybe I was wrong
• 37:49
  about that it. Was the Broncos of the Panthers?
• 37:51
  It was the first year that stadium.
• 37:52
  The fact here is with with Kyle Shanahan in the position that
• 37:56
  Kyle Shanahan is going to be in the offseason is is put up or
• 37:59
  shut up now It's put up or shut up time for Kyle Shanahan in
• 38:03
  that San Francisco 49ers team. Because I we're not going to get
• 38:07
  into Robert Soller big thing because we're going to talk
• 38:10
  about a little bit later, but this is a team that's going into
• 38:13
  an offseason once again failing. And Kyle Shanahan, all he knows
• 38:18
  is fail, failure because this guy is not won a Super Bowl.
• 38:21
  Every time he's gone to the Super Bowl, he's failed as an
• 38:23
  offensive coordinator, as a head coach.
• 38:25
  He is an absolute failure. And then going into a divisional
• 38:28
  game where everybody thought that this was going to be
• 38:30
  somewhat of a game, somewhat of a challenge because of the way
• 38:32
  Brock Purdy was playing in the play call.
• 38:34
  And Kyle Shanahan, what he did was a masterful thing last week
• 38:38
  and just lay up in a lousy goose egg says to me one thing and one
• 38:42
  thing only. I don't want to see ESPN.
• 38:44
  I don't want to see Cbsi don't want to see anybody Bleacher
• 38:46
  Report or anybody interview Ed. And I'm saying this Ed
• 38:50
  McCaffrey, and I'm saying this from the heart or Mike Shanahan.
• 38:53
  Like they want something like, Oh my God, they they have a
• 38:57
  chance to do something great. I remember when and I'll say
• 39:00
  this, Kyle, it wasn't Kyle Shanahan.
• 39:04
  It was it was I'm trying Christian Mccaffrey's mom
• 39:10
  sitting there and she when they mentioned the Super Bowl that
• 39:13
  they lost against Kansas City, she got up and she she rolled
• 39:16
  her eyes like they should have won the game should have could
• 39:20
  have, would have. Here's the reason why you lost
• 39:21
  that game because she stopped running the ball to who your son
• 39:25
  that was obviously didn't get the rock enough in the fourth
• 39:28
  quarter, which if they got the rock enough in that in the
• 39:31
  fourth, in the fourth quarter, maybe they beat the Kansas City
• 39:34
  Chiefs. Maybe they shocked the world and
• 39:36
  knock off the great Patrick Mahomes in D Reed, but they
• 39:39
  didn't. You know why?
• 39:40
  Because they're an absolute joke.
• 39:42
  All right, before we transition to the next game, we have a we
• 39:44
  have a caller. Our 49ers fan of our network,
• 39:46
  Mr. Brian Snow, is on the phone. Brian, let's hear you.
• 39:51
  Errol, I'm going to playfully yell at you.
• 39:54
  I can't. Wait, I can't wait.
• 39:58
  No, I'm kidding. I'm kidding.
• 40:00
  I'm kidding. What you guys said are absolute
• 40:02
  facts. And I got, I got no argument.
• 40:06
  I sat and called that game Saturday night and I was
• 40:11
  embarrassed. I've been a 49er fan since 1980
• 40:15
  and I've seen my share of clunkers, even under the quote
• 40:19
  UN quote great Jet York's leadership.
• 40:22
  But what happened Saturday night put an end to that era as far as
• 40:25
  I'm concerned. It may be time for Kyle Shanahan
• 40:29
  and company to just push the plunger and blow it up and start
• 40:34
  a game because you got 4, maybe five players, two of them on
• 40:40
  injured reserve in terms of Nick Bosa and Fred Warner.
• 40:45
  And you can build. You can build with them, but
• 40:48
  it's just going to take a few years to do so.
• 40:51
  But you got to bring in some fresh minds, some good minds to
• 40:56
  rebuild, to rebuild that. And as far as the two Super
• 40:59
  Bowls that they played in with, with Kyle Shanahan, both of
• 41:04
  those should have been wins. First of all, Raheem Mostert
• 41:08
  should have run for 200 yards in that game.
• 41:10
  And a hundred of those should have come in the fourth quarter
• 41:13
  because they had the Chiefs on the ropes and they didn't knock
• 41:18
  them out. They had they had the Chiefs on
• 41:21
  the rolls twice, once in Vegas and once in Miami, both Super
• 41:27
  Bowls 54 and 58 and they didn't deliver the knockout punch.
• 41:31
  I have a problem with that. I have a big problem with that.
• 41:34
  And since that's and since those two Super Bowls happen, it's
• 41:39
  been, as you say, best Errol. And I know I owe you an
• 41:43
  appearance on Snowman in the morning.
• 41:44
  I've been revamping and put putting everything back
• 41:47
  together. It's been in the emotive words
• 41:51
  of Joe Beningo. What a disgrace.
• 41:56
  And that's all I got. And you said it best.
• 41:59
  And that's a 49er fan, ladies and gentlemen, a guy that I,
• 42:01
  I've come to respect. He, he does do all the calls for
• 42:05
  the 49ers every single week. He's he's a die hard 49er fan.
• 42:10
  And I'm talking about the Joe Montana era.
• 42:12
  I'm talking about this wrong era.
• 42:14
  This is this is a guy that's been following them for years
• 42:17
  and he speaks the truth. And, and to me, I think they
• 42:20
  should break everything up. And that means Kyle Shannon and
• 42:22
  John Lynch get rid of them all. Start over, start from scratch.
• 42:26
  They they got to start, they they got to start over because
• 42:29
  if they try to run it back with this group, considering Seattle
• 42:32
  not only not not only socked them in the mouth, but kicked
• 42:35
  them in the stomach and kicked them in the ass.
• 42:38
  What are they going to? Where are they going to go from
• 42:39
  here? That's why Sal is gone, Kubiak's
• 42:42
  next, and then Shanahan's going to be the lone wolf.
• 42:47
  What are you going to do, bring Steve Wilkes back in?
• 42:49
  Steve Wilkes got lucky for six games in San Francisco in 2023
• 42:53
  and let and LED them to the Super Bowl.
• 42:55
  But in listening to an interview with their fabulous voice, Greg
• 42:59
  Papa, another cancer survivor who's near and dear to my heart,
• 43:03
  he lost the locker room. He lost the locker room.
• 43:06
  And you can have a team as proud as the 49ers have coordinators
• 43:12
  be on a revolving door and continue to lose the locker
• 43:16
  room. We've seen it before with many.
• 43:19
  We've seen it before with many Super Bowl champions that have
• 43:21
  fallen off the radar, especially in football.
• 43:25
  Sean Payton. Sean Payton in New Orleans, Dan
• 43:28
  Reeves in Denver. Now, Dan Reeves with the New
• 43:30
  York Giants in 1993, when they miraculously, and I mean this
• 43:37
  got to the playoffs in 1993, what happened?
• 43:40
  Ricky Waters happened and they had to blow and, and they had to
• 43:43
  blow it up then. So they, they, they got to,
• 43:47
  they, they got to start over. They, they, they got, they, they
• 43:51
  got to start over. And this is coming from a fellow
• 43:55
  who's followed the 49ers since 1980 and has been an insider
• 43:59
  from my own website since 2003. They they got to blow it up.
• 44:03
  They, they have to blow it up. And they got to get some fresh
• 44:06
  players in there and they got to follow Seattle's pattern in.
• 44:10
  And in turn, Seattle followed San Francisco's pattern.
• 44:13
  Get them young, get them into the draft, coach them up, get
• 44:16
  the right coach in there. And they and they going to start
• 44:20
  over again. And Errol, you've heard people
• 44:22
  criticize me many times, but I don't tell the truth about my
• 44:25
  teams. Let me say this to those who
• 44:28
  think that you haven't listened to my show for once, have you?
• 44:31
  Because I call it like you listen to me every morning.
• 44:35
  I call it like I see it every day do.
• 44:38
  You feel better. I call it.
• 44:40
  Do you feel better now? I do.
• 44:44
  All right, I, I just want to, I just want to make sure you feel
• 44:46
  better because I, I wanted to give you your time to just like,
• 44:50
  just to, to get the feeling out. You know, I, I know how it feels
• 44:54
  to to want to punch something because being a Jet fan, I want
• 44:57
  to punch everything. Right.
• 44:59
  You want to think about this funny alternative universe?
• 45:01
  What if the 49ers actually do fire Kyle Shanahan?
• 45:04
  He becomes the Bambi Salah offensive coordinator.
• 45:10
  That would be so funny. I'm I can't wait for you.
• 45:14
  I can't wait for you to call. I can't wait for you to call in
• 45:16
  and and talk jets with me, because the other times that the
• 45:20
  other times that you did, I did nothing but put the camera on
• 45:23
  you and give you the floor. So I thank you for doing that
• 45:26
  doing that for me and I thank you guys for allowing me
• 45:29
  allowing me to call in. I love you guys very, very much
• 45:32
  Thank you for having me. I appreciate.
• 45:33
  It Bryan Snow, ladies and gentlemen, snowman in the
• 45:35
  morning. He airs every single morning on
• 45:38
  the Worldwide Sports Radio Network.
• 45:40
  He does such a great job all over or he does the play
• 45:43
  calling. He calls so many games.
• 45:45
  He does everything and I, I love him.
• 45:47
  He's a cancer. Obviously all the cancer
• 45:51
  awareness, he's gone through so much stuff and the guy is still
• 45:54
  taking, still doing so many great things and we love him.
• 45:56
  He is a great person and and one of the best voices on the radio
• 46:00
  today. So thank you, Brian, for joining
• 46:03
  us, and we love you. And now let's get into probably
• 46:06
  the worst game of the weekend. And boy, oh boy, was this a bad,
• 46:12
  watchable game. And if you're a Patriot fan, I
• 46:16
  don't want to hear you. Patriot fans, give me that.
• 46:18
  Drake May is this, and Drake May is that.
• 46:20
  Drake May had a horrible game, a horrible game.
• 46:24
  Now does it? Do I think Drake May is a bad
• 46:26
  quarterback? No, I think Drake May could be
• 46:29
  an elite quarterback in this league for many, many years.
• 46:31
  We'll see how his development works with Mike Vrabo.
• 46:34
  Mike Vrabo making excuses. We all know that he makes a lot
• 46:38
  of excuses after, you know, during the half, they asked him,
• 46:40
  what do you need to do to keep the fumbles away and, and, and
• 46:43
  keep the fumbles from happening. And he says, well, we got to
• 46:46
  protect the quarterback. Really.
• 46:48
  Because here's what I would have done if I was Drake May.
• 46:50
  Stop holding the ball in the pocket as long as you did.
• 46:53
  And this has been his problem all season long.
• 46:56
  How many fumbles has Drake May had in the game in the league
• 47:00
  all season long? He led the league in fumbles, He
• 47:04
  led the league in fumbles. And in this game, what did he
• 47:07
  have 3/4? Four and two lost.
• 47:09
  Two lost and I, I will say this, you can't blame the Texans
• 47:13
  defense on this loss. You can't.
• 47:16
  I mean, Anderson was all over the place.
• 47:17
  This guy to me and I'll I'll give a shout out to Jeff because
• 47:21
  Jeff has told me many, many times what this kid is going to
• 47:24
  be in the league and how talented he is going to be.
• 47:27
  Anderson is one of the elite pass rushers in the league.
• 47:29
  There's no question that he does.
• 47:30
  It is him and he had his first all pro season of his career.
• 47:34
  He was sensational. He really was Danielle.
• 47:38
  Danielle Hunter was great too, man, 22 sacks in a game.
• 47:42
  You can't blame the front 7 of this team.
• 47:44
  They were all over the place. They were sensational all game
• 47:49
  long. Put pressure on Drake May, put
• 47:52
  pressure on the offensive line, the young offensive line of the
• 47:57
  the snowy, snowy New England fans and snowy New England
• 48:01
  offensive line. I will say this to me, CJ
• 48:06
  Stroud, you have to watch in this game is not the answer.
• 48:10
  He's not. And to me, I Speedy, you know, I
• 48:14
  was talking about, you know, before this show and who I blame
• 48:17
  for this. Hey, Coach.
• 48:19
  D'amico Ryan's. Yeah, D'amico Ryan's is to blame
• 48:22
  on not bringing in Mills. Mills was the reason why they
• 48:27
  went on that winning streak. And I I know everybody's going
• 48:29
  to say you got to trust your veteran quarterback.
• 48:31
  You got to trust your kid that you're drafting in the first
• 48:34
  round, this number two pick of the draft.
• 48:36
  But guess what? CJ Strout was not good all
• 48:38
  season long. In the second-half of the season
• 48:40
  against really bad talent. He showed up and he played
• 48:43
  decent, but he wasn't the elite quarterback he was the first two
• 48:47
  years in and especially his freshman year where he had one
• 48:50
  of the greatest seasons of fresh a freshman quarterback has had
• 48:53
  in the NFL. He made a load of mistakes.
• 48:56
  He threw 4 interceptions in this game.
• 48:58
  He did not show up in this game and really look like he wanted
• 49:01
  to play in this game. Do you know what his quarterback
• 49:03
  rating was in this game? Probably the worst in NFL
• 49:07
  history. Playoff in a divisional game In
• 49:10
  any game, any Series A 28. Oh wow, I was going to say 32.
• 49:14
  OK, A. 28I. Was going to I was going to be
• 49:17
  in the 30s. 28 I mean it was in a horrendous game for him and
• 49:24
  Drake made Drake made was not good. 16 for 27179 yards, 3
• 49:29
  touchdowns, 1 interception, 4 forced fumbles.
• 49:32
  He was not good. But guess what?
• 49:35
  The Patriots did enough and boy oh boy, that one handed grab in
• 49:39
  the fourth quarter by how do you pronounce his name?
• 49:41
  Booty Booty, Booty. Java's favorite wide receiver.
• 49:45
  I I mean. You got to have the booty.
• 49:47
  Hey, Sean Booty was that catch that he made in this game, that
• 49:52
  one handed grab, one handed grab was sensation one of the
• 49:55
  greatest grabs I've seen in the playoffs in a very long time.
• 49:59
  That was sensational to watch. And I, I know everybody would
• 50:03
  have thought, hey, Stefan Diggs was going to be that go to guy.
• 50:06
  No, when they needed booty to make a play, they were going to
• 50:09
  booty, especially in the fourth quarter.
• 50:11
  And I, I, I, he spread out the ball very well.
• 50:13
  Drake me. I can't say that he didn't.
• 50:15
  He gave the ball to Austin Hooper.
• 50:17
  He gave the ball to Douglas and Diggs and booty and Henry.
• 50:21
  Everybody touched the ball in this game.
• 50:23
  But Kyle Williams it was. Like a sixth round rookie.
• 50:28
  Yeah, but I'm just saying everybody touched the ball and
• 50:31
  and I'll say this, if they play like this, they're not going to
• 50:34
  beat the Bo Knicks lost Broncos in Denver.
• 50:40
  But to me, Drake May is better than what is his name again,
• 50:46
  Shitham or Jared Stidham? Just just boy, you didn't get
• 50:50
  that joke, did you? Oh, I did.
• 50:52
  I mean, I just, there's no way in hell that the Broncos are
• 50:58
  going to win this game against Drake May, even though they have
• 51:01
  the home game now, unless the Broncos put up a great defensive
• 51:05
  game plan against Drake May in this defense, on this offense.
• 51:08
  I, I, I'll say this, Rabel's defensive play calling and this
• 51:12
  defense was sensational. Their secondary was great.
• 51:15
  Jones was sensational. Gonzalez was, Gonzalez was
• 51:18
  sensational. And I'll say this, all the teams
• 51:21
  that passed up on Christian Gonzalez, Oh, oh, the Patriots.
• 51:26
  And, and I'll say this, yes, Bill Belichick is laughing to
• 51:30
  the bank because he was Bill Belichick's last, I think last
• 51:34
  first round draft. He was, He was the 17th overall
• 51:36
  pick when a lot of people thought he was the top 10 corner
• 51:39
  definitely, and then maybe a top five corner.
• 51:41
  Now, Seattle obviously looks smart taking Witherspoon because
• 51:43
  Witherspoon's a great too. But there are a lot of other
• 51:45
  teams that took some corners that have already been cut from
• 51:48
  their rosters that don't look as bright, right?
• 51:50
  Now, it was horrible to watch. This is the worst football you
• 51:53
  could possibly watch. And when you look at the score,
• 51:55
  you're going to say, well, how could you say that?
• 51:56
  I mean, it was still a high scoring game, 28 to 16.
• 52:00
  I it was something that if you're a football thing, you
• 52:03
  don't want to watch. Yeah, if you like good defense,
• 52:06
  maybe, But it wasn't even the defenses forcing the fumbles.
• 52:09
  Except I guess I, I would say the Texans were, but they were
• 52:13
  just. To me, CJ Stroud's mistakes were
• 52:16
  his mistakes and his mistakes only.
• 52:19
  He made more mistakes than I could even try to compare to any
• 52:24
  player, any quarterback in history in the playoffs.
• 52:27
  I don't even think a hurt Peyton Manning would have made as many
• 52:30
  mistakes as is a guy of CJ Stroud's talent.
• 52:34
  I mean, seriously, Peyton Manning at the tail end of his
• 52:36
  career when he won a Super Bowl, he was not good, but he made the
• 52:39
  throws that he needed to make to win a Super Bowl against the
• 52:42
  Carolina Panthers. This guy did not show up.
• 52:45
  He looked like he didn't want to be there.
• 52:47
  He looked like he was completely beat in the first half of the
• 52:50
  game. Speedy.
• 52:51
  Yeah, and we've heard over the, we've seen it over the last like
• 52:54
  15 years or so when before Houston became more relevant
• 52:58
  franchise because they were up pretty bad the 1st 10 years of
• 53:00
  their existence. But the Texans were always like
• 53:03
  a a great team that just needed the quarterback for a while.
• 53:05
  They had TJ Yates and Case Keenum and all these other
• 53:08
  random rotational guys. They overpaid Brock Osweiler
• 53:11
  after they won the Super Bowl with the Broncos.
• 53:14
  Yes, yes, you're trying to forget that one.
• 53:16
  I'm sure your son is too Java, but they gave him that
• 53:20
  ridiculous contract and then they got to Sean Watson.
• 53:22
  Obviously he was good in the playoffs for a little while, but
• 53:24
  then obviously that flamed out. But now CJ Stradley bringing in
• 53:27
  is the number two overall pick was supposed to be this
• 53:29
  allegedly most talented guy in that draft class.
• 53:32
  He didn't go number one. I thought Bright Shung was
• 53:34
  better, but most people thought Straw was better and he had that
• 53:36
  unbelievable rookie year. And obviously the expectation
• 53:38
  will be a lot higher. He's kind of fallen to that,
• 53:41
  kind of just mediocre. Falling flat on his.
• 53:43
  Face and I don't think he's reached that level where he
• 53:46
  thinks I I could just be a gay manager type and that's where.
• 53:50
  He tastes himself. That's where I think that he
• 53:52
  wasn't ready for that kind of thing with Mike Vrabel, a coach
• 53:55
  who's familiar with him. He coached him with the Titans,
• 53:58
  against him with the Titans. He has played Harold Landry,
• 54:01
  that's played against him with the Titans, others with the
• 54:03
  Jaguars and Chase On, and a bunch of others that played
• 54:06
  against him know his tendencies and they just exposed his
• 54:10
  weaknesses badly. You're right, the Texans defense
• 54:12
  did everything they counted in that game.
• 54:13
  It's not their fault. And Jeff said something very
• 54:15
  interesting. OSU quarterbacks have always
• 54:18
  been bad in the NFL, correct? And, and, and I, I thought this
• 54:22
  was going to change because I thought CJ Stroud was going to
• 54:24
  change the whole thought to that.
• 54:25
  Now I don't know what saying it's going to be.
• 54:28
  Maybe he's the best one. We'll see how that all works out
• 54:31
  and and more, more than likely he goes to the New York Jets and
• 54:34
  absolutely bombs out. So it it's typical The Jets
• 54:38
  draft saying and he is a completely bomb.
• 54:40
  Thrust. I don't know The Jets.
• 54:40
  The Jets are usually bet worse at cursing Ohio State wide
• 54:43
  receivers. I'm just saying, I mean Ohio
• 54:45
  State wide receivers are good. I mean, we, we've.
• 54:47
  Finally broke it, but after the Devin Smith and Steven Hill era.
• 54:51
  No, but I'm saying that the most first round Ohio State Buckeye
• 54:55
  wide receivers are pretty damn good.
• 54:57
  OK, so I, I just my question here is, is how is how bad is
• 55:02
  this game going to be next week in Denver?
• 55:05
  Are we going to watch a Drake made complete passes?
• 55:08
  Are we going to watch Stidham outclass and I'll play an
• 55:13
  organization that drafted him in the seventh round?
• 55:15
  I, I don't know what to believe, but here's what I do know.
• 55:18
  CJ Strout is on the hot seat. He's on the hot seat.
• 55:22
  There is no way this organization in the offseason.
• 55:25
  And by the way, Mills is a free agent.
• 55:27
  A. 100%. Well, yeah, it's Year 3, so they
• 55:30
  have to decide on a fifth year option, which they will probably
• 55:33
  give him. But we were talking about even
• 55:35
  if like, he had a good game and maybe they make a run to a Super
• 55:37
  Bowl, maybe pay him this offseason, a good contract, now
• 55:39
  you can't even do that. You can't, no.
• 55:41
  You cannot do that because Mills, to me, play better.
• 55:44
  And D'amico Ryan should have let Mills play you.
• 55:46
  You should have went ride or die with all the guys on your team.
• 55:50
  And I know you're going to ride or die with your starting
• 55:52
  quarterback. I know that's the guy you
• 55:53
  drafted, but Mills was the one that helped you get there.
• 55:56
  You're going to ride or die with that guy.
• 55:58
  We've seen backup quarterbacks take teams to a Super Bowl.
• 56:01
  We've seen that before. So why can't we see that again?
• 56:04
  So remember the Tampa Bay Buccaneers?
• 56:06
  More crimes than not too. And then that turns into them
• 56:09
  getting another contract and and extending their career.
• 56:13
  I'm telling you right now, if I'm The Jets.
• 56:14
  Might be the case. I'm reaching out to Mills, agent
• 56:17
  to Neoses. I think he's a free agent.
• 56:19
  I'm absolutely reaching out to Mills agent and trying to bring
• 56:22
  him in. That's the guy I'm looking for.
• 56:25
  And there are other teams are gonna be looking at Mills too.
• 56:28
  But he has proven that he can play as a quarterback in this
• 56:31
  league and he's played efficient.
• 56:33
  I, I talked to Jeff about this before and I said, what do you
• 56:35
  think about Mills? He says Mills is competent
• 56:37
  quarterback. He's one of the more competent
• 56:39
  backup quarterbacks in the league.
• 56:40
  I've talked to a lot of experts about some of these guys in the
• 56:43
  league and who you what backup quarterback would you start in
• 56:46
  the future if he becomes available?
• 56:48
  And a lot of guys like Mills, I, I think that's a guy that's a
• 56:51
  find. And if you're an organization
• 56:53
  looking for that guy or looking for a guy or a diamond in a
• 56:56
  rough, that's the guy in Tamika Ryan's completely struck out on
• 57:00
  this, completely struck out on this.
• 57:01
  And that's why they're not moving on.
• 57:03
  That's why the Texans in that dominant defense.
• 57:05
  If, if the Texans win this game, the Texans, Texans beat the
• 57:08
  Broncos and, and maybe win the Super Bowl this year.
• 57:11
  I think the way they way Anderson is playing and Hunter
• 57:14
  is playing, they're as good of a tandem as anybody we've seen in
• 57:17
  the league. And to watch them go down the
• 57:20
  way they did, yes, it was snowing, but there's no excuse
• 57:22
  to it to to make the excuses that they made with the
• 57:26
  offensive side of the ball was just absolutely putrid.
• 57:29
  Say a lot about Tamika Ryan's and his play calling.
• 57:31
  Yeah, on the Patriots standpoint too, I do want to bring that up
• 57:34
  because the the Broncos are still going to apply pressure to
• 57:37
  them where the Texans, they now they're maybe tested with facing
• 57:40
  that good of a pass rush. They're going to have to adjust
• 57:42
  to play differently on offense than they did because Drake May,
• 57:45
  his reads were not great, especially in the in the second
• 57:48
  in quarter. I thought that's where I think
• 57:50
  two of those fumbles happening and then the one he lost was in
• 57:52
  the third quarter and it really he really only looked like he
• 57:55
  was crisp maybe towards the fourth quarter.
• 57:57
  But at that point, like you said, the Texans defense is
• 57:58
  going to be tired at that point because of how ballovers they've
• 58:01
  been on the field because the CJ strike kept turning the ball
• 58:03
  over. They can't have that kind of
• 58:04
  game plan against the Broncos and expect to, even if they do
• 58:08
  play Jarrett Stidham because that's where the route they're
• 58:10
  going. Sean Payton's a smart coach.
• 58:12
  This is a really good championship caliber defense.
• 58:14
  Patriots have a good defense, but it's not a championship
• 58:17
  caliber defense like you see the Broncos, the Texans, even the
• 58:20
  Seahawks like teams like that. They can't afford to play like
• 58:23
  that. As sloppy as they were, they're
• 58:24
  not going to be able to run the ball as effectively either as
• 58:26
  they did in this game or Andre Stevenson.
• 58:27
  I believe it's 75 yards in this game.
• 58:30
  Henderson got it going in the second-half a little more.
• 58:32
  But the Broncos can stop the run a lot better too.
• 58:34
  And I they can't be comfortable with the way they played and
• 58:37
  expect to be able to go to a Super Bowl and nevertheless win
• 58:39
  1. What do you what do you think
• 58:41
  the Broncos have to do from their end?
• 58:43
  Obviously not having Bo Nicks that they're going to have to
• 58:46
  change up to to try and win this game.
• 58:48
  I've got it. Ron.
• 58:50
  Ron, run. That's it.
• 58:53
  And it's interesting there is a practice window.
• 58:55
  Maybe he'll play for JK Dobbins. We'll see.
• 58:57
  The other thing is run with their receivers, too.
• 59:00
  Mims is a speedy guy. They could use a lot of the
• 59:02
  rookies that they, a lot of the rookies they drafted later.
• 59:05
  Gadget guys are going to. Sean Payton's a great gadget
• 59:08
  caller, so he is going to try to use gadget plays.
• 59:11
  I don't know if there's any wide receivers that at one point of
• 59:14
  their careers have been a quarterback in high school or
• 59:18
  something of that magnitude. If there are, we've seen some
• 59:21
  crazy things by Sean Payton. This guy is the masterful, he's
• 59:24
  a masterful coach that likes to use trick plays and, and gadget
• 59:29
  plays over the years. So am I going to be crazy to
• 59:32
  believe that something, somebody like John Payton's going to have
• 59:35
  some cut, some kind of thing drawn up or some kind of play
• 59:38
  drawing up or how many players are going to be drawn up in the
• 59:41
  game in the first or second quarter that can absolutely
• 59:43
  devalue the opportunity to take over this game?
• 59:47
  I, I think it might and, and, and, and again, this defense is
• 59:49
  elite. It is elite, but they're going
• 59:52
  to have to show up in the big parts of this game and shut down
• 59:54
  Drake May. Drake May is still a quality
• 59:56
  quarterback. You can't say that he's not.
• 59:58
  And they're going to have to put pressure like the Texans did if
• 1:00:02
  they plan to beat him. Before we move on to the Bears
• 1:00:04
  and the Rams game, Jabba, you were talking about how many
• 1:00:06
  trick plays A-Team should do too.
• 1:00:07
  Like the Bears and the Rams will play fearless that we saw.
• 1:00:10
  We've seen the Broncos at times play fearless with some of their
• 1:00:14
  reverses. They can't back off now just
• 1:00:16
  because they have a backup quarterback in and just all of a
• 1:00:18
  sudden be too conservative because I can burn them so.
• 1:00:22
  Fair. All right, ladies and gentlemen,
• 1:00:26
  the final game of the week was a doozy.
• 1:00:30
  Boy, oh boy, was it a doozy. And if you're a Rams fan, you,
• 1:00:37
  you were sweating. I was sweating.
• 1:00:40
  Taking a deep breath, that's what you're doing.
• 1:00:42
  You were sweating because what Caleb Williams did in the fourth
• 1:00:46
  quarter and I don't, I don't have to talk about anything more
• 1:00:49
  than the 4th. Quarter, give a damn what
• 1:00:50
  anybody says to do what he did, throw off his back foot, rotate
• 1:00:55
  his hips like people that haven't thrown a ball to run
• 1:01:00
  back and throw that 50 yards in the air off your back foot to be
• 1:01:04
  able to rotate. Yeah, they fell out of position
• 1:01:07
  or whatever. I don't care.
• 1:01:08
  You can say whatever you want. That was one of the most
• 1:01:12
  impressive things I've ever seen because I know how hard it is to
• 1:01:15
  throw an object. But what he did right there, I,
• 1:01:18
  my mouth dropped and I don't get impressed by people throwing
• 1:01:21
  things a lot. But that right there was
• 1:01:24
  something where I'm just like you, you can't, you can't
• 1:01:28
  describe it like how hard that is in the moment.
• 1:01:32
  And we're like, he could do that in any aspect, but like in that
• 1:01:36
  moment to be able to have the awareness and just, and you've
• 1:01:40
  talked about it, you, you were sold on Caleb from the get go.
• 1:01:43
  8th grade. In the way he was as an athlete
• 1:01:45
  and like as we seen him grow in the second-half and become the
• 1:01:50
  better quarterback that you said he was from the get go, to be
• 1:01:54
  able to slow the game down and do those things, that was
• 1:01:57
  absolutely one of the most unbelievable throws I've seen
• 1:02:00
  from a quarterback. I've been wrong about certain
• 1:02:02
  quarterbacks, Zach Wilson, B1, but I was not wrong about Caleb
• 1:02:05
  Williams and nobody wants to give me any credit when I do
• 1:02:07
  pick the right. Actually, I know you don't.
• 1:02:10
  You did. But there are a lot of people
• 1:02:12
  that don't and and Caleb Williams is special.
• 1:02:15
  The things that he does off the back foot and moving inside and
• 1:02:19
  out of the pocket, how he escaped from those 3 defensive
• 1:02:21
  lineman and to get that ball off to Cole Commit was just just
• 1:02:26
  absolutely amazing. It really was in the game was
• 1:02:29
  boring. It was defense, it was mistakes.
• 1:02:32
  There was just really the first half was pathetic and and the
• 1:02:36
  Rams, I thought they were going to put up points and I thought
• 1:02:38
  there was going to be chase, there was going to be high
• 1:02:40
  scoring and it was going to be a path all the way.
• 1:02:42
  If it goes to overtime, it would be like 35 to 30 or 37 to 42 or
• 1:02:49
  something of that magnitude. That was going to be, you know,
• 1:02:51
  Puka Nakua's day or something like that.
• 1:02:53
  It just wasn't it really wasn't. It was to me, it was, it was bad
• 1:02:58
  out. It was snowing.
• 1:03:00
  But there's no excuse. I know the, the, the field out
• 1:03:03
  there, it is grass and it's an old Chicago Bears stadium.
• 1:03:07
  But it it to me, the fans were loud at the Rams.
• 1:03:11
  It was cold. You can see Matthew Stafford,
• 1:03:13
  and I got to give Matthew Stafford, and I'll say this, I'm
• 1:03:18
  not a Sean McVeigh fan. Anybody that listens to the
• 1:03:20
  show. I'm not a Sean McVeigh fan.
• 1:03:21
  I got to give Sean McVeigh a little bit of credit for this
• 1:03:24
  because to travel all the way to Chicago, when everybody said
• 1:03:27
  that and they were practicing in 80° weather and they were using
• 1:03:33
  like this, I don't remember what they were saying before the
• 1:03:36
  game. They were putting things in
• 1:03:37
  their shoes and their gloves. And I'll get to that at the end
• 1:03:39
  of the sell. This crazy crap that they were
• 1:03:42
  putting to try to make sure that their feet and their hands were
• 1:03:45
  warm. It it says a lot about Sean
• 1:03:48
  McVay and and the way he believes in his team and the way
• 1:03:50
  he believes in his quarterback and Matthew Stafford.
• 1:03:53
  He didn't have one of his best days, but he did enough, enough
• 1:03:57
  to win this game. And that's scary to go to play
• 1:04:02
  the Rams in Seattle. That to me, Seattle should be
• 1:04:05
  afraid of the Rams because the Rams are finding ways to win
• 1:04:08
  games that honestly, a lot of people probably would have
• 1:04:11
  thought they were going to lose that game after Caleb completed
• 1:04:13
  that pass with 18 seconds left. I really believe going into
• 1:04:17
  overtime, Chicago was winning that game and Caleb Williams
• 1:04:20
  made a bad throw to curl through an interception and it looked
• 1:04:23
  like they were going to win the game.
• 1:04:25
  They it looked like Caleb Williams was confident and and
• 1:04:29
  Caleb Williams didn't cry. I mean, what we've known him to
• 1:04:31
  do over the years, especially at USC is cry when he loses the big
• 1:04:35
  game. He, he was a man about things.
• 1:04:38
  Even when he spoke to the press, he was man, he was a manly
• 1:04:41
  person and a player. That's something I got to give
• 1:04:43
  Caleb Williams a little bit of credit for because over the
• 1:04:46
  years that we've watched him, he's done things that you make
• 1:04:49
  you shake your head, But I, maybe it's Ben Johnson and, and,
• 1:04:53
  and I, I do believe Sean McVeigh stuffed it down Ben Johnson's
• 1:04:57
  throat. And if, if Ben Johnson came back
• 1:04:59
  and won that game, you know, Ben Johnson would have been, it
• 1:05:01
  would have been as as loud and as rambunctious as he's been
• 1:05:06
  over the last couple of weeks. So I, I got to give the Rams a
• 1:05:10
  little bit of credit. It was back and forth in the
• 1:05:13
  fourth quarter. It was so fun to watch in the
• 1:05:16
  fourth quarter. The rest of the game was
• 1:05:17
  pathetic. And then the overtime I the Rams
• 1:05:20
  made a mistake. Matthew Stafford thought he lost
• 1:05:22
  it for his team. He he looked like he did and,
• 1:05:25
  and and and the Bears defense played very well.
• 1:05:28
  Put a lot of pressure. You got to give the Bears a lot
• 1:05:30
  of credit the defense in the way they they drew up some of these
• 1:05:33
  defensive play calling. It was fun to watch.
• 1:05:35
  And but the the, the play of the day and the play of the game and
• 1:05:39
  the play of the week was the unbelievable toss by Caleb
• 1:05:43
  Williams was absolutely amazing. If you want to pick something
• 1:05:47
  out of anything I saw this weekend, it was that it was
• 1:05:50
  special. Yeah, and you were talking about
• 1:05:52
  the the ability to make throws in so many different areas for
• 1:05:56
  any of these quarterbacks, too. Like, you're making it, you're
• 1:05:58
  making it 20 yards back essentially.
• 1:06:00
  With that much pressure on you, it's very hard for any
• 1:06:03
  quarterback to do. We talk about some of these.
• 1:06:05
  Hello, marries. Aaron Rodgers have made the
• 1:06:07
  obviously the unbelievable escape that Eli Manning made in
• 1:06:09
  the Super Bowl against the Patriots, like just a throw,
• 1:06:13
  just an ability backtracking. That might be the best one that
• 1:06:15
  we've seen. And in the pressure of that kind
• 1:06:18
  of moment to have that kind of composure to do it in the
• 1:06:20
  playoffs is put is going to put Caleb Williams on another level
• 1:06:24
  before we get to, I know Jeff on the phone.
• 1:06:26
  That's why I want to get to in a bit.
• 1:06:27
  You mentioned the Bears defense, though.
• 1:06:28
  This was the game I wanted to see their secondary, get their
• 1:06:31
  tests in. And they did that in the game.
• 1:06:32
  They held their own. The pass rush did very well, but
• 1:06:34
  the Rams just that much better and Chris Schwell is harder for
• 1:06:36
  his defenses. All right.
• 1:06:38
  Are you ready to hear Jeff? All right, ladies and gentlemen,
• 1:06:41
  Jeff from Tampa. Jeff, you could call back.
• 1:06:44
  You could call back. I don't know if he got
• 1:06:45
  disconnected. He might have got disconnected,
• 1:06:46
  maybe he was a little upset. All right, Jeff, Jeff call back,
• 1:06:49
  I'll finish my thoughts on this game as well with the the Rams
• 1:06:52
  running game I think just was a little bit better.
• 1:06:53
  I think that was the main difference where the Bears, I've
• 1:06:56
  mentioned they're against the Rams top five run defense and
• 1:06:59
  we're not going to be able to get it going.
• 1:07:00
  And I worried on the inside run game they wouldn't be able to
• 1:07:03
  and they didn't. And I think that was a hard for
• 1:07:05
  them to overcome and be the well-rounded offense that they
• 1:07:07
  were supposed to be. And I think the Brams just had a
• 1:07:10
  little more when the Bears shut down Pokonukua, they had a good
• 1:07:12
  game plan for. Him.
• 1:07:13
  All right, we got Jeff on the phone.
• 1:07:15
  How are you my friend? I'm good, Earl.
• 1:07:18
  How are you of? Course you would say something
• 1:07:20
  stupid like that, but typical Jeff, what's up?
• 1:07:23
  Buddy, Caleb Williams is an absolute luck box.
• 1:07:27
  That's all he is, is an absolute luck box.
• 1:07:30
  That dude makes some worst throws you've ever seen.
• 1:07:34
  Jeff, I knew you were going to come out and try to attack
• 1:07:37
  something that I was going to say, but not.
• 1:07:39
  Attacking you, There's no attack there.
• 1:07:41
  Caleb Williams stinks. He does not.
• 1:07:43
  Every weapon in the world. He's got Roma Doonsie, he's got
• 1:07:46
  DJ Moore, Colston, Loveland. Luther Burden is emerging.
• 1:07:50
  Cole Commet is on that team. How many more weapons do we have
• 1:07:53
  to give this guy? And we're still watching him
• 1:07:55
  fall down and throw terrible passes half the time.
• 1:07:58
  Jeff, when when a guy goes out there and makes a pass like that
• 1:08:02
  on national television at the end of the game with 18 seconds
• 1:08:06
  left of a. Game, it was you.
• 1:08:08
  Could say it's luck all you want, you could say whatever you
• 1:08:10
  want to say about it. It's still a pass.
• 1:08:12
  He made the pass and you got to give him credit.
• 1:08:14
  It was a it was a good pass, but you guys are all acting like no
• 1:08:17
  one else can do it. Josh Allen did it, but Lamar
• 1:08:20
  Jackson's done it. Patrick Mahomes has done it it.
• 1:08:22
  Was 18 seconds. You're naming probably the few
• 1:08:24
  that can. 18 seconds in the fourth quarter where your team
• 1:08:28
  is going to lose, they did that. When do they do that?
• 1:08:31
  Right. OK, So what about the fourth
• 1:08:33
  down conversions that he was throwing terrible passes earlier
• 1:08:36
  in the game? Do those not count?
• 1:08:38
  You make mistakes. Only the one he completed
• 1:08:40
  counts. See, the only one he completed.
• 1:08:43
  That was the only one he completed.
• 1:08:45
  On 4th he there was several. Yeah, they had some misses on
• 1:08:49
  4th down. Yes, obviously Ben Johnson's
• 1:08:51
  going to coach that way. He coaches like Dan Campbell.
• 1:08:53
  There were some. I'm not saying Caleb Williams
• 1:08:54
  had the most amazing game, but no like the Rams have a good
• 1:08:57
  defense so. When they needed to make a
• 1:08:59
  throw, he made the throw and I you could sit here and you can
• 1:09:02
  look. Boxed it.
• 1:09:03
  Absolute luck boxed it. Well, that's your opinion.
• 1:09:06
  I disagree with you. I think that obviously he had to
• 1:09:10
  know that Coke met, was there. There's no way he didn't know
• 1:09:13
  that he was there. There's no way.
• 1:09:15
  There's absolutely. Wearing the same jersey and he's
• 1:09:17
  got eyes. Come on.
• 1:09:18
  He knew he was there. Dude, the way he moved inside
• 1:09:22
  and out of that pocket and escaped from three big defensive
• 1:09:26
  lineman and get that ball off on the back foot was since.
• 1:09:29
  So a little fast guy outruns 3 fat dudes.
• 1:09:32
  A little fast guy. That's the thing you've ever.
• 1:09:34
  Not little, I mean A6263 quarterback is not small.
• 1:09:38
  He's like, he's probably like barely 6 feet.
• 1:09:40
  Probably two of those three guys were an interior rush.
• 1:09:43
  That's hard for quarterbacks. He's not 6.
• 1:09:45
  Feet. He's a rush.
• 1:09:46
  You know what that means? Speeding.
• 1:09:47
  They're £350. If you can't outrun someone to
• 1:09:50
  £350, you got it. You know damn well that these
• 1:09:54
  defensive lineman can run a 4546.
• 1:09:58
  They've done it before. So you can't sit here and tell
• 1:10:01
  me that they can't get at them and try to.
• 1:10:03
  Put them back in the league, can outrun them.
• 1:10:06
  I disagree. Matthew.
• 1:10:07
  Stafford, Ken. Matthew Stafford has a broken
• 1:10:11
  back and still can outrun them. You're out of your mind.
• 1:10:14
  You're out of your mind. I I love your play.
• 1:10:16
  Typical Jeff, ladies and gentlemen.
• 1:10:18
  He will attend. Matthew Stafford still in the
• 1:10:20
  playoffs because every time he throws A touchdown, they show
• 1:10:23
  Kelly Stafford and that's worth it.
• 1:10:25
  Typical. Typical.
• 1:10:28
  Why? Because he was with Georgia,
• 1:10:29
  too. The great Georgia quarterback,
• 1:10:32
  by the way, and great George? No, but have you seen Kelly
• 1:10:34
  Stafford? He throws A touchdown pass.
• 1:10:37
  They show Kelly Stafford. That's America winning America's
• 1:10:40
  back, baby. Leave it up to Jeff, ladies and
• 1:10:44
  gentlemen, giving us his take on Caleb Williams.
• 1:10:46
  Amazing and you're. Not giving enough credit to that
• 1:10:49
  New England defense, by the way. What are you talking about?
• 1:10:52
  I gave him a lot of credit. Were you?
• 1:10:53
  Are you listening to the day it? Was all CJ Shroud no defense is?
• 1:10:56
  Pretty I said their secondary was amazing.
• 1:10:59
  Jones was amazing. God was a secondary.
• 1:11:01
  That was amazing. It was their line.
• 1:11:03
  Oh dude, it was their secondary. Their safeties.
• 1:11:06
  Exactly. They hovered over every single
• 1:11:08
  wide receiver. Anything.
• 1:11:10
  Dude, they were unbelievable that secondary.
• 1:11:12
  Was amazing right? But go and look right But go and
• 1:11:14
  look at Woody Marks first half stats.
• 1:11:16
  Do you know what he rushed for in the first half?
• 1:11:18
  Dude. He he had eight carries for
• 1:11:21
  seven yards and one of of woody Marks and one of the
• 1:11:26
  interceptions Stroud through was because Palevan Chaison
• 1:11:29
  absolutely murders Stroud. Woody Marks we arguing about
• 1:11:35
  Woody Marx, is that where? We're not no, no, no.
• 1:11:38
  It's the fact that the Patriots have a top five rush number one
• 1:11:42
  run defense. Yeah, they.
• 1:11:43
  Don't. Nobody said that they don't, and
• 1:11:44
  nobody said that they weren't good.
• 1:11:46
  But when you can't run on a team, you have to pass.
• 1:11:48
  That's the whole thing. Yeah, to me, CJ Stroud could
• 1:11:52
  have passed against any defense. He was going to throw those
• 1:11:54
  interceptions. One hand washes the other in
• 1:11:56
  football, right? If you have an amazing pass
• 1:11:58
  rush, it makes the quarterback's jobs easier.
• 1:12:01
  And they were getting home. I mean, mostly because the
• 1:12:04
  Texans were playing with it. Ended up being a third Stringer
• 1:12:08
  at right tackle, right? Because they were without.
• 1:12:12
  Who were they without? I think it was Earth 3, their
• 1:12:15
  rookie. No Earth 3 was there, it was
• 1:12:17
  round their right tackle and when their backup got hurt and
• 1:12:21
  they had to go to a third Stringer.
• 1:12:24
  There is no issue. They were hurt.
• 1:12:26
  I don't care. To me, D'amico Ryan's to me
• 1:12:30
  should have done what I thought he should have done in the
• 1:12:32
  second-half is bringing Mills. See what you're what you're
• 1:12:35
  going to get at, what you're going to get out of Mills.
• 1:12:36
  You weren't getting enough out of Stroud.
• 1:12:38
  At least bring him in and see what you have.
• 1:12:40
  Maybe he makes one or two acrobatic passes, gets his team
• 1:12:44
  wounded up and maybe they they find a way to win the game or
• 1:12:48
  find a way they take this overtime and and and find a way
• 1:12:51
  to beat the Patriots in New England.
• 1:12:52
  I don't know. But the way D'amico Ryan's was
• 1:12:55
  calling the game and it really in the second-half has you to
• 1:12:58
  me, has me questioning if he's the right guy for the job.
• 1:13:02
  That's just my opinion. I mean, maybe not, but you can't
• 1:13:05
  bench CJ Stroud because they're going to end up signing him to
• 1:13:07
  an extension. Well, they're making a mistake.
• 1:13:09
  And not because they want it, but because they have.
• 1:13:11
  To yeah, I know they're making. A mistake, yeah.
• 1:13:12
  They're a bad quarterback franchise overall, so they got
• 1:13:15
  to get. Some, I mean it's not even just
• 1:13:16
  that, but like look around the league.
• 1:13:18
  How do you think Tua got a contract?
• 1:13:19
  When you look around the league, there's nobody else that can
• 1:13:22
  come in. It's why Justin Fields keeps
• 1:13:24
  getting jobs, because there's no quarterbacks out.
• 1:13:27
  There's why Russell Wilson kept getting a job.
• 1:13:29
  There's no one out there to come in and replace them.
• 1:13:31
  So if they're not going with CJ Stroud, what are they gonna go
• 1:13:34
  with? What are they gonna be The Jets
• 1:13:35
  and draft a quarterback every year?
• 1:13:37
  There he is, ladies and gentlemen.
• 1:13:38
  Jeff. Buddy, I'm a Jets guy.
• 1:13:41
  I'm a Jets guy. I'm tired of drafting quarter.
• 1:13:43
  Throw me a curveball, ladies and gentlemen.
• 1:13:45
  Let's talk about The Jets, baby. Let's talk about you and me.
• 1:13:50
  Buddy, I'm a Jets guy. You know, I'm a Jets guy, but
• 1:13:53
  it's like it's and we go through quarterbacks.
• 1:13:55
  Let's talk about all the good things and the bad things that
• 1:13:59
  they'll be. I mean, you can't, you can't do
• 1:14:04
  it otherwise. Like that's why he's probably
• 1:14:05
  going to get an extension instead.
• 1:14:07
  Like that, Speedy? Oh yeah, do.
• 1:14:10
  You do you just want to be the New Orleans Saints?
• 1:14:12
  Is that what they want to be? And they when they can't figure
• 1:14:14
  out quarterback. I I don't, no, I don't.
• 1:14:19
  But hey, as a, as a Jet fan or an Eagles guy or anybody you
• 1:14:24
  want to point or you want to play darts with, I could say
• 1:14:27
  this CJ Strout is not the answer.
• 1:14:30
  D'amico Ryan's has proven to me that when the going gets tough
• 1:14:34
  and you need to make a decision to make that decision, you make
• 1:14:37
  the right decision. You make the decision to say
• 1:14:40
  that this quarterback did not have it that day.
• 1:14:42
  You take him out, you show everybody that you're going to
• 1:14:46
  go and try to get that win and he didn't he.
• 1:14:49
  What happened to CJ Stroud? Rookie year?
• 1:14:51
  CJ Stroud was unstoppable. Yeah, well, I don't know what
• 1:14:54
  happened to him, but if the Grinch stole Christmas, CJ
• 1:14:58
  Stroud stole the Texans heart. This offseason, because they're
• 1:15:04
  going to be watching golf or playing golf and watching the
• 1:15:07
  Super Bowl and they're not going to be in it.
• 1:15:09
  That's for. Sure, they were never going to
• 1:15:10
  win anyways. Do you realize, like, think
• 1:15:12
  about this, right? Everyone gives like Denver love
• 1:15:14
  because Denver's a hard place to like, win.
• 1:15:16
  Go and win. Everyone gives Seattle love.
• 1:15:18
  Oh, it's so loud. When was the last time a road
• 1:15:21
  team won in New England? Oh, I got you, man.
• 1:15:25
  It's a tough. Place to play and win the Fraval
• 1:15:27
  got you. Jeff, we got to go.
• 1:15:30
  And that was like 5 years ago dude.
• 1:15:33
  Jeff. And before that, it was crazy.
• 1:15:35
  Jeff, we love you and you can call back whenever you want.
• 1:15:38
  I don't care what. No, no, no, no, no.
• 1:15:40
  I can't do that. This is because someone isn't
• 1:15:42
  there. Like that's what he said and I
• 1:15:44
  don't, I don't want to make that person.
• 1:15:45
  No, you can call when he's there too.
• 1:15:46
  We. Could call.
• 1:15:47
  When every if that person gets mad, I don't know what I'll do.
• 1:15:50
  You can call a big deal you. Can call when he's there too.
• 1:15:53
  We. Call whenever you want, we love.
• 1:15:54
  You know how much he told me not to.
• 1:15:56
  You can. We just told you you can, so we
• 1:15:59
  override. Can't go against him.
• 1:16:01
  Do you know how much of a big deal he is?
• 1:16:02
  Goodbye. Goodbye, Jeff.
• 1:16:04
  Thank you. Jeff.
• 1:16:06
  Thank you, Jeff. There it is.
• 1:16:08
  The Lord and savior of this show has reappeared from the depths
• 1:16:14
  of beyond Jeff from Tampa. That's a good way to play.
• 1:16:17
  Thank you. And, and Jabba was probably just
• 1:16:20
  sitting. There, no.
• 1:16:22
  We had the Jabba versus Snug YouTube battle.
• 1:16:24
  It was very entertaining. As well.
• 1:16:26
  I didn't get a chance to see that.
• 1:16:28
  There's some comments. Speaking of something that I got
• 1:16:30
  a chance to see Indiana and Miami, a national championship.
• 1:16:35
  Indiana beats Miami in the national championship game 27 to
• 1:16:38
  21 to finish off an undefeated season, a win win their first
• 1:16:43
  title in school history. Both teams started slow
• 1:16:46
  offensively until Indiana had 1414 play 85 yard touchdown
• 1:16:52
  drive in the second quarter to give them a 10 nothing lead.
• 1:16:56
  Mark Fletcher Junior had a 57 yard touchdown run to open up
• 1:17:02
  the second-half after Miami had just 61 yards in the entire
• 1:17:06
  first half. Indiana black the punt later in
• 1:17:09
  the third quarter and recovered it for a touchdown to extend
• 1:17:13
  their lead 17 to 7. After Miami responded to make it
• 1:17:18
  17 to 14, Fernando Mendoza got his only touchdown in the game,
• 1:17:23
  a 12 yard rushing touchdown on 1/4 down and 4th 4.
• 1:17:27
  Indiana converted to 4th downs on that drive.
• 1:17:32
  Miami responded to make it 2421 on a 22 yard touchdown pass from
• 1:17:39
  Carson Beck to Malachi Tony. After Indiana made it 2721 with
• 1:17:45
  a field goal, Miami had one more chance, but Carson Beck threw an
• 1:17:50
  interception and Indiana won their first National
• 1:17:54
  Championship. There's a lot of layers in this
• 1:17:57
  game. And here's the thing, I am a
• 1:18:01
  Mendoza fan. I love Fernando Mendoza, but
• 1:18:05
  throughout the playoffs, Fernando Mendoza was not good.
• 1:18:08
  I don't care what anybody says. He did not show me why he should
• 1:18:12
  be the number one pick in this year's draft.
• 1:18:15
  Now he will be and I love him and I know Jeff is not a big fan
• 1:18:19
  of him. And he said, Jeff told me
• 1:18:21
  straight out that there is not a quarterback that should be
• 1:18:24
  drafted at #1 in this class. He said that to me.
• 1:18:30
  And maybe he's right. And now that Dante Moore has
• 1:18:33
  gone back to college, he will be the only quarterback drafted in
• 1:18:36
  the top ten this year. The the, the one thing that
• 1:18:40
  shined for Mendoza in this game was that fourth and four in the
• 1:18:45
  fourth quarter. It was a gutsy call.
• 1:18:49
  A gutsy call. You see, you see his forearm
• 1:18:52
  after the game. Yes, it it to me.
• 1:18:56
  The dude's toughest nails. Signetti made gutsy call after
• 1:19:02
  gutsy call throughout the game. He really did.
• 1:19:06
  And you got to give Signetti a lot of credit because he has
• 1:19:08
  been the best coach in the NCAA for back-to-back years.
• 1:19:12
  He goes over there to Indiana in his first year and goes to a
• 1:19:15
  national championship undefeated on guys that were in the portal.
• 1:19:20
  Think about that. Five star recruits?
• 1:19:24
  Not really. Mendoza wasn't even his recruit.
• 1:19:27
  He came from Cal. Think about that and you watch
• 1:19:32
  this game and Miami did what they were supposed to do.
• 1:19:36
  Bain was all over the play. Mazda door was all over the
• 1:19:39
  place. They were doing everything that
• 1:19:41
  they needed to do to keep the game close.
• 1:19:44
  That's what they did. The secondary Lucas was great.
• 1:19:49
  To me. Miami did what they needed to
• 1:19:51
  do. They did more in this game that
• 1:19:54
  Oregon and everybody else did against this Indiana Hoosier
• 1:19:58
  team that was just absolutely dominant throughout this playoff
• 1:20:02
  run, throughout the season in so many aspects.
• 1:20:07
  But here's the thing. Carson Beck has made enough
• 1:20:11
  mistakes. Over the years, Carson Beck's
• 1:20:14
  was Carson Beck was supposed to walk away from football.
• 1:20:17
  He was thinking about walking away from football before he
• 1:20:19
  decided to go to Miami. Miami took a chance with him.
• 1:20:24
  They snuck into this playoff, they made a lot of noise.
• 1:20:29
  They knocked off the Ohio State Buckeyes.
• 1:20:33
  They beat the national champion last year and to me, a lot of
• 1:20:39
  people's pick to win everything this year.
• 1:20:42
  And what made it so sensational to watch all season long was
• 1:20:47
  Miami getting better and better. The coach and I, I pronounce his
• 1:20:51
  name. Cristobal.
• 1:20:52
  Cristobal who who was sensational all all season long
• 1:20:56
  and even at the end of the game, you got to give Crystal Ball a
• 1:20:59
  little bit more credit because he gave a shout out to Indiana.
• 1:21:04
  He gave a shout out to the Miami Hoosier.
• 1:21:06
  I mean, Indiana, who's your fans and how they showed up in Miami?
• 1:21:10
  As loud as they were, this was Miami.
• 1:21:12
  They had a home game. Think about that.
• 1:21:18
  Nobody expected Miami to be in this championship game, but they
• 1:21:21
  played in their home field. Think about it.
• 1:21:26
  And to go out there, the Hoosier showing up, the fan showing up
• 1:21:29
  as much as they did and the way they just caused so much havoc.
• 1:21:34
  You or you saw Carson Beck when he was at the line of scrimmage
• 1:21:37
  trying to hold his ear because he couldn't hear anything says a
• 1:21:42
  lot about the Indiana Hoosier fans.
• 1:21:45
  So I I mean, the game was fun to watch.
• 1:21:48
  This was a great championship game and and, and all you wanted
• 1:21:53
  to see was Miami get a chance to win because Miami had a chance
• 1:21:56
  to win this game. They did you.
• 1:21:59
  Got to admit first half was all slow.
• 1:22:00
  Yeah, it was. It was boring it.
• 1:22:02
  Was really the first quarter. I think it got good after that.
• 1:22:04
  It was. Boring 10 Nothing You thought
• 1:22:07
  this was going to be a blow out after the first half.
• 1:22:09
  You thought that? How big do you think that Doink
• 1:22:12
  kicked when he hit the upright to end the end the first half it
• 1:22:17
  it hurt them having no points on the.
• 1:22:19
  Board it hurt, but you can't make that excuse now because
• 1:22:23
  they still won by 6. No, I'm not saying at.
• 1:22:25
  Least you have. Points on the board going into
• 1:22:26
  the. Half now, let's say if they lost
• 1:22:28
  24 to 21 and then then you're going to look at that kick and
• 1:22:32
  you're going to be like, oh, you know, if he hit that, the game
• 1:22:37
  could have been different. But it was just the battle of
• 1:22:42
  the coaches and I, I got it. Like I said, Signetti has had
• 1:22:46
  such a great season. This guy deserves a lot of
• 1:22:49
  credit. If the Raiders want to reach out
• 1:22:51
  to him, if they think they're bringing Mendoza in and they can
• 1:22:54
  try to pry or ply or whatever word you want to use to take him
• 1:22:59
  away from Indiana and Hoosier Nation, to bring him to Las
• 1:23:03
  Vegas to coach his quarterback, that would be an absolute slam
• 1:23:07
  dunk. Give him whatever he wants.
• 1:23:09
  Cignetti did what he needed to do.
• 1:23:11
  This was one of the greatest runs we've ever seen a football
• 1:23:14
  team have. Think about this.
• 1:23:16
  They were undefeated with to me when the playoffs was never like
• 1:23:20
  this. Think about this, they won a
• 1:23:23
  national championship. Going through how many teams
• 1:23:26
  think about it, this is might be one of the greatest playoff runs
• 1:23:30
  we will ever see in history. The way the Indiana Hoosiers
• 1:23:35
  played in this game. And I you got to give just a lot
• 1:23:38
  of credit to just Mendoza when he needed to make the play, he
• 1:23:42
  made the play. I mean, that play was
• 1:23:43
  unbelievable. I mean, to escape, to go inside
• 1:23:46
  and out of the pocket and, and get hit the way he did and, and
• 1:23:50
  to make that spinning move to get to the end zone was amazing.
• 1:23:53
  His mom cheering his mom, I I don't remember what she has Ms.,
• 1:24:00
  multiple sclerosis and and to see her.
• 1:24:03
  She's got it since she's been 18.
• 1:24:04
  Yeah, yeah. They've raised a lot of the NIL
• 1:24:07
  funding and there's another foundation that's like I think
• 1:24:10
  7.27 hundred $20,000 or something they've raised for.
• 1:24:13
  That it was just, and to see his father and his mother and even
• 1:24:17
  on his brother, his brother on the sidelines tutoring and it's
• 1:24:20
  it's fun to watch. And Mendoza, you know, he's a
• 1:24:23
  Cuban American Christian who went out there after the game
• 1:24:26
  and it when everybody thinks God but, and I don't know if I'm not
• 1:24:30
  saying that those guys don't mean it, but you know,
• 1:24:33
  sincerely, this man absolutely means it.
• 1:24:36
  He feels it. And it's just an amazing story
• 1:24:41
  guy. This If you're there's a season
• 1:24:43
  that you want to have or you want to remember as a player, to
• 1:24:46
  win a Heisman Trophy, to win a national championship, to do it
• 1:24:49
  the way they did it on an undefeated year, I think this
• 1:24:52
  was the ultimate like greatest season a player could ever have
• 1:24:56
  Speedy. Yeah, it's the combination of
• 1:24:58
  everything that works and you talked about with the way that
• 1:25:01
  Mendoza behaved at the Heisman, he knew he was stole that team.
• 1:25:04
  First, I was there. I stole everything you were.
• 1:25:05
  Mentioning how such of a team first guy he was and I think he
• 1:25:08
  accepted his role. We talked about in the during
• 1:25:10
  the NFL playoffs with CJ Stroud, with the Texans, Patriots.
• 1:25:13
  I don't know if he knew how to accept his role when he had such
• 1:25:15
  a flashy rookie year and now all of a sudden he has big game
• 1:25:18
  managing quarterback. I think Mendoza knew he had to
• 1:25:20
  be a game managing quarterback because of the way this Miami
• 1:25:22
  pass force was doing now. I think Indiana's offensive line
• 1:25:24
  held their own better than I thought.
• 1:25:25
  Secondary was great and for for Miami too.
• 1:25:28
  Yes. Miami secondary, I think, made a
• 1:25:30
  lot of interesting coverage disguises.
• 1:25:32
  They had to do a lot of contested catches in the first
• 1:25:34
  half of that game and even in the third quarter, Indiana's
• 1:25:36
  receivers held their own and I think won some of those battles.
• 1:25:39
  But it wasn't enough where you were saying, all right, this guy
• 1:25:41
  is a lot of spacing like you saw in the Oregon game, a lot of
• 1:25:44
  spacing like you saw at points during the Alabama game, and
• 1:25:47
  they were getting all those yards for the catch.
• 1:25:48
  It was really the Indiana running game that was doing a
• 1:25:50
  lot in the Indiana and a defense on the special teams with the
• 1:25:53
  block punt doing a lot of it. And Miami, there were points.
• 1:25:56
  I thought they were out playing them because Tony was getting a
• 1:25:59
  lot of space, they were getting yards after the catch, they were
• 1:26:01
  extending drives. They just stalled a lot of the
• 1:26:03
  time at midfield. In the beginning.
• 1:26:04
  The missed field goal hurt Job. I think he's missed 4 kicks
• 1:26:07
  already this tournament, which hasn't helped in Miami special
• 1:26:10
  teams department. But there were points of it
• 1:26:12
  where they just had to do enough and they just never could finish
• 1:26:16
  drives in the red zone. And that was, I think.
• 1:26:17
  What a Jagger that block punt was too.
• 1:26:20
  That was a dagger. I mean, think about that.
• 1:26:23
  If they didn't block that punt and it wasn't a touchdown, Miami
• 1:26:26
  wins the game. Yeah, Miami wins the game.
• 1:26:28
  Right, because you're looking at a defensive duel in the
• 1:26:30
  second-half the way that that turned around.
• 1:26:32
  But now Indiana's back up by 10. It changes a lot with Miami's
• 1:26:35
  playbook. Mark Fletcher was getting it
• 1:26:36
  going with the running game standpoint, but now you can't
• 1:26:39
  run the ball as much down 10. And Tony did everything he could
• 1:26:42
  pretty much will his team back. But Indiana's offense just
• 1:26:45
  getting too much time of possession.
• 1:26:47
  And I think Steve White was talking about it last week with
• 1:26:49
  the NFL, how much time of possession that certain teams
• 1:26:51
  have had in the playoffs. Indiana's time possession, even
• 1:26:54
  though those drives they didn't score, were a big difference in
• 1:26:56
  why Miami could never get comfortable with their offensive
• 1:26:58
  game plan either. Yeah, no, I mean, for me it was,
• 1:27:02
  you see the first half and what Carson Beck obviously being in
• 1:27:04
  position, Mendoza having the year that he's had, I mean, he
• 1:27:08
  only had 100 and what, 16 yards in the first half.
• 1:27:10
  Carson Beck had like 86, right. But I think when when you put it
• 1:27:15
  together, we always talked about being in that experience and and
• 1:27:19
  understanding what it takes to win.
• 1:27:21
  It became a tale of two halves and that at one point they were
• 1:27:25
  both equal in yards in a second or total yards at 318.
• 1:27:29
  And so they were kind of in that same realm.
• 1:27:33
  But then I think just Mendoza's composure and just how much more
• 1:27:38
  elite he is as a quarterback. And I'm just going to say it
• 1:27:43
  like how big his balls are. And it showed in the way he did
• 1:27:48
  things. And, you know, when he carries
• 1:27:52
  himself in a way that people now are sometimes questioning, is he
• 1:27:56
  too nice? Well, I don't know if there's a
• 1:27:59
  thing that's too nice. Obviously you have to have a
• 1:28:02
  chip on your shoulder. And obviously he has that chip
• 1:28:05
  because he wouldn't be that. But he's also surrounded by
• 1:28:07
  great players and great coaches. But just the way that he
• 1:28:12
  constructed and how he did. Like if you heard the interview
• 1:28:16
  after the game, like he he could have checked that off to a pass
• 1:28:22
  and he said it and he literally just was like, hey, we're going
• 1:28:27
  to go for it. And he goes the offensive
• 1:28:29
  lineman and being selfless, like there are times you have to give
• 1:28:33
  yourself a little bit of credit. Like obviously you didn't get to
• 1:28:36
  that position without your offensive line and all those
• 1:28:38
  guys. But like he did a little bit if
• 1:28:42
  you read between the lines, because he was like, yeah, I
• 1:28:45
  could have checked off. I could have done this.
• 1:28:46
  This was this was the option of what it was.
• 1:28:48
  And he goes, I looked at it and said, hell, here we go.
• 1:28:53
  One of one of his one of the best offensive lineman's in the
• 1:28:56
  country on on Indiana at the end of the game if he didn't make
• 1:29:00
  that penalty, if he didn't step off.
• 1:29:02
  Yeah, they don't get a chance. He's literally one of the best
• 1:29:05
  offensive lineman and gets the roughing the passer #97 I don't
• 1:29:09
  remember his name, but yeah, it doesn't even give them a chance
• 1:29:13
  to do. But that second, I've made it so
• 1:29:15
  fun because it was literally talking to everybody.
• 1:29:18
  They were like, and I don't know if you guys felt this way.
• 1:29:21
  And then people you talk to, they were like, it's either
• 1:29:23
  going to be a boat race or it's going to be really close.
• 1:29:26
  And after the first half, I didn't know what to think at
• 1:29:30
  that point. I was like, are they going to
• 1:29:32
  come out? And then obviously Miami comes
• 1:29:33
  out, scores quick, then Indiana scores and they come back with a
• 1:29:37
  91 yard drive with like in I think it took 2.
• 1:29:40
  Minutes that was. That was both teams.
• 1:29:42
  They were all methodical drive so they scored on besides
• 1:29:44
  Fletcher's big play. Yeah, so it was after the first
• 1:29:49
  half I just, I kind of was just shaking my head and I'm like,
• 1:29:53
  well, I guess we'll see what happens to make adjustments.
• 1:29:56
  And. And then I, I felt the
• 1:29:59
  second-half was going to be the way the whole game was going to
• 1:30:01
  be. Personally, that's the way I
• 1:30:03
  felt. And, but that second-half was,
• 1:30:06
  was absolutely incredible. And it was so fun to see guys
• 1:30:10
  making plays all over the field and just a really good.
• 1:30:13
  I, I didn't like what Fletcher did after the game, think that
• 1:30:16
  was unwarranted and not needed. And it kind of took away from
• 1:30:19
  the celebration a little bit, But that's neither here nor
• 1:30:21
  there. But I, I, I think it lived up to
• 1:30:24
  the hype. And you know, hats off to to
• 1:30:27
  those guys and and Indiana Hoosiers.
• 1:30:29
  And are they are they a basketball score?
• 1:30:32
  Are they a football school? Now that's a question.
• 1:30:34
  Yeah, well, Mike Woodson's coaching there now, so we'll see
• 1:30:37
  if they can get their basketball program going.
• 1:30:39
  But I before we move on, I just want to mention Carl in the
• 1:30:41
  comments section to Miami outgaining Indiana.
• 1:30:43
  I need a little more air yards for Carson Beck on that last
• 1:30:45
  throw. And yeah, that would that's
• 1:30:46
  always been his flaws. Never been a big arm guy but
• 1:30:49
  just needed to do a little more there.
• 1:30:50
  All right, all the Giant fans couldn't wait for this segment
• 1:30:54
  and I'm going to give you my take now.
• 1:30:56
  Adam Schefner reports that the Giants have hired John Harbaugh
• 1:30:59
  to be their next head coach. Schefner added that the Giants
• 1:31:03
  will pay John Harbaugh A5 year $100 million deal, trying him or
• 1:31:08
  tying him with Andy Reed for the largest deal in NFL history
• 1:31:13
  really as a head coach in the league.
• 1:31:15
  The Athletic reports that Joe Shane will stay as the Giants
• 1:31:18
  general manager, but Harbaugh will have a lot of say in the
• 1:31:22
  offseason decisions and both guys will have to report to the
• 1:31:26
  owner. Who does this sound like, ladies
• 1:31:28
  and gentlemen? ESPN Jordan Rodham reports that
• 1:31:33
  Harbaugh believed that the Giants were in a better position
• 1:31:37
  than the Falcons and the Titans, the only other two teams that
• 1:31:42
  interviewed him. ESPN reports that the Giants
• 1:31:45
  interviewed 8 other coaches, including Kevin Stefanski, Vance
• 1:31:48
  Joseph and Mike McCarthy. The Ravens offensive
• 1:31:52
  coordinator, Todd Monken, is expected to follow Harbaugh to
• 1:31:58
  New York as long as he doesn't get a head coaching job
• 1:32:03
  elsewhere. Harbaugh was hired about a week
• 1:32:07
  after being fired by the Ravens after an 889 season.
• 1:32:13
  I'm sorry. Which is still more wins than
• 1:32:16
  the Giants have had in the last two seasons who have gone 7 and
• 1:32:21
  27. Well here's my take for all you
• 1:32:26
  Giant fans out there that are probably going to hate me after
• 1:32:29
  this. I love John Horrible, I think
• 1:32:34
  he's a great coach, but there's no way in hell he believes that
• 1:32:39
  the Giants have more talent and has a better roster than the
• 1:32:44
  Atlanta Falcons. For him to sell that to anybody
• 1:32:49
  tells me how stupid he really believes New York fans or Titan
• 1:32:54
  or Atlanta fans believe he thinks they are.
• 1:32:59
  I do not believe at any point whatsoever John Horrible had any
• 1:33:05
  interest to going to the Atlanta Falcons or the Titans.
• 1:33:08
  It was always the New York Giants.
• 1:33:09
  Or sit out for the season and wait until he sees what's out
• 1:33:13
  there next year. He only took this New York
• 1:33:15
  Giants job because the Giants were willing to pay him.
• 1:33:19
  Think about this. He is $100 million richer.
• 1:33:22
  It's guaranteed. Jon Gruden got $100 million
• 1:33:26
  guarantee contract. And boy, oh boy, he's singing to
• 1:33:28
  the the league, ladies and gentlemen, he's going because
• 1:33:32
  he's making himself a lot of extra money after he sued the
• 1:33:36
  NFL. But here's the facts, guys.
• 1:33:40
  The Giants don't know what they're going to be doing with
• 1:33:43
  Dexter Lawrence in the off season because they have no
• 1:33:45
  money. They're $11 million rich to go
• 1:33:49
  out there for free agents this year.
• 1:33:53
  They don't have a lot of draft stock.
• 1:33:54
  They don't have The Jets draft stock.
• 1:33:56
  The Atlanta Falcons lost a lot of draft stock because they made
• 1:33:59
  that move. But look at the talent that they
• 1:34:01
  have on the defensive line. Now I'm going.
• 1:34:03
  To say it's their best pass rush they've ever had, that's.
• 1:34:05
  That's I'm just saying think about that.
• 1:34:08
  To go out there and think that the Giants have more talent, Why
• 1:34:11
  Jackson Dart? What has Jackson Dart done so
• 1:34:14
  far? Please tell me sell it to me
• 1:34:17
  Giant fans. He look good.
• 1:34:20
  I like Jackson. He could be a great quarterback.
• 1:34:23
  Let me ask you guys a question. John Harbaugh is a great coach.
• 1:34:28
  We all know the greats that he coached.
• 1:34:30
  Ed Reed, was he his guy? Speedy, was he his guy?
• 1:34:34
  Suggs was his guy, his guy. Ray Lewis, was he his guy.
• 1:34:38
  But they won a Super Bowl. Joe Flacco, was he his guy?
• 1:34:40
  Yes. John Harbaugh does to me.
• 1:34:43
  Lamar Jackson didn't want him there and that's why he is
• 1:34:45
  swimming and he was looking for a new job.
• 1:34:47
  His guy that he developed didn't want him there.
• 1:34:51
  And if you look at the teams that he has developed over the
• 1:34:53
  years, have they won a Super Bowl besides the one that was
• 1:34:57
  really put together before he was there?
• 1:34:59
  The answer would be no, No. So who's he developed, what team
• 1:35:06
  and what players besides Lamar Jackson and quote UN quote, Joe
• 1:35:10
  Flacco, who is not a Hall of Famer?
• 1:35:15
  Tell me. The answer would be nobody.
• 1:35:18
  So the Giants reached they could have hired Kevin Stefanski, Mike
• 1:35:23
  McCarthy, guys that I believe are a better fit as far as I'm
• 1:35:28
  concerned when it comes to the quarterback in Jackson Dart, if
• 1:35:31
  you want to develop him. And to think, and I'm I'm not a
• 1:35:34
  Kevin Stefanski fan when it comes to developing quarterbacks
• 1:35:36
  because he couldn't do it over there and with the Browns, but
• 1:35:38
  at least he won coach of the year twice.
• 1:35:41
  Mike McCarthy was the guy. He was the guy.
• 1:35:44
  He developed Aaron Rodgers, he developed Dak Prescott.
• 1:35:49
  Say whatever you want. You want to make jokes.
• 1:35:51
  He did. And maybe he doesn't interview
• 1:35:55
  very well because Mike McCarthy still not hired by anybody.
• 1:35:59
  Todd Munkin and I got news for you guys.
• 1:36:02
  Lamar Jackson did not like, he did not want to be coached by
• 1:36:05
  Monken. So you Giant fans better hope
• 1:36:08
  that Jackson, Lawrence Jackson Dart likes Todd Monken because
• 1:36:14
  Lamar Jackson didn't. And I, I, I got to give him a
• 1:36:17
  little bit of credit. John Harbaugh is a great
• 1:36:19
  personality. He'll be great for the players.
• 1:36:22
  I I don't know if he's a developmental coach and I know
• 1:36:25
  Giant fans are going to attack me on this And and I know Giant
• 1:36:28
  fans believe that he'll make them a competent team this year,
• 1:36:32
  even though they're going into a season with very lean of money
• 1:36:35
  and they're going to have to move one of these guys including
• 1:36:38
  and one of those guys might be Dexter Lawrence.
• 1:36:40
  How is that going to work when you're losing a guy that was
• 1:36:43
  injured all season long and he's your best defensive player?
• 1:36:47
  In my eyes, I know what Burns did this year, but he's not next
• 1:36:51
  to Lawrence. Let's be honest.
• 1:36:54
  I just and I don't trust Joe Shane and I don't trust John
• 1:36:58
  Marra. And by the fact that you're
• 1:37:00
  hearing that they have to go to ownership, they it reminds me of
• 1:37:03
  Woody Johnson that when did have you ever heard AGM and a coach
• 1:37:09
  have to go and speak to the Giants brass?
• 1:37:12
  Never. I've never heard this.
• 1:37:14
  Tom Coughlin never had to go and speak to John Marra.
• 1:37:18
  Never. Bill Parcells never had to do
• 1:37:21
  that. Think about that.
• 1:37:23
  What it tells me right now is they're transitioning into the
• 1:37:28
  teams in the organizations that have failed to do the right
• 1:37:31
  thing for their organization. And that, ladies and gentlemen,
• 1:37:34
  is guys and team. I'm sorry, guys like Woody
• 1:37:37
  Johnson and the New York Football Jets.
• 1:37:40
  So we go back and we talk about John Horrible and his
• 1:37:44
  announcement in his press conference today.
• 1:37:47
  John is a likable person. You got to like him and he he
• 1:37:50
  speaks very well about the New York Giants organization and
• 1:37:52
  that this was the team. And I, I'm going to, I'm going
• 1:37:55
  to be as graceful and, and happy to be here just as much as I was
• 1:37:59
  with the Ravens. This is a one of the the top
• 1:38:02
  organizations in the NFL and all this lovely, great things that
• 1:38:06
  you heard John Mayer, John Harble say and, and John Mayer
• 1:38:09
  say about John Harble at the press conference.
• 1:38:13
  Here's the facts. John Horrible has not won
• 1:38:17
  anything since that Super Bowl. He failed to beat the Kansas
• 1:38:23
  City Chiefs. Year of.
• 1:38:25
  What was it 3 years ago, Two years ago in the AFC title game,
• 1:38:30
  AFC title game, when you were the better team, you were by far
• 1:38:35
  the better team than the Kansas City Chiefs.
• 1:38:39
  It was a failure and John, you're the reason why they
• 1:38:42
  failed. Your defensive coach in
• 1:38:46
  McDonald, he goes over there to Baltimore.
• 1:38:48
  Your defense was one of the worst defenses in the NFL this
• 1:38:52
  year. Why John?
• 1:38:54
  Why do you? Think nobody wanted you there
• 1:38:55
  anymore? Because guess what?
• 1:38:59
  Your coaches are gone now you're reaching.
• 1:39:02
  You're trying to find guys from the, you know, the, the escape
• 1:39:05
  route. I'm trying to find somebody
• 1:39:07
  that's going to fit in as a Baltimore Ravens defensive
• 1:39:10
  minded coach. But by the way, your defensive
• 1:39:13
  coordinator there sucked and you suck.
• 1:39:16
  So giant fans. You can attack me on my take.
• 1:39:20
  You can attack me till I'm blue in the face.
• 1:39:23
  This was a bad hire and the only reason why is Joe Shane's there.
• 1:39:27
  If Joe Shane goes, you're going to have John Harbaugh choose his
• 1:39:31
  GM. Well, how does that work?
• 1:39:33
  When have you heard your coach ever pick the GM?
• 1:39:38
  Sweetie, could you tell me the last time you can remember a
• 1:39:41
  head coach pick his GM? I'm going to tell you.
• 1:39:43
  I believe it's your boy, Kyle. Shanahan, Kyle Shanahan and how
• 1:39:46
  many Super Bowls have they won? 0.
• 1:39:49
  Zero. That's right, ladies and
• 1:39:52
  gentlemen, I'm not striking. I'm hitting home runs.
• 1:39:57
  And here's the home run for you giant fans when you hear any.
• 1:40:03
  Of the thoughts of your coach coming out there and saying that
• 1:40:07
  this is a better roster than the Atlanta Falcons only tells you
• 1:40:11
  what you know. And we know about your head
• 1:40:14
  coach. He is dumb.
• 1:40:16
  Absolutely dumb. Yeah, I don't know where you're
• 1:40:20
  seeing they have more talent on the Atlanta Falcons, maybe
• 1:40:23
  besides the front 7. And that's even close because
• 1:40:26
  Atlanta pass rush, like we said, even though they traded up a lot
• 1:40:29
  to get that second, second first round pick, that pass rush duo
• 1:40:33
  for the Atlanta Falcons did very well.
• 1:40:34
  And their interior has been pretty good all year.
• 1:40:37
  And their secondary is a lot better than the Giants.
• 1:40:39
  And this is the same Joe Shane that spent a lot in the
• 1:40:41
  secondary this offseason and it didn't amount to much of
• 1:40:43
  anything. Their run defense was
• 1:40:45
  historically bad. They were second worst in the
• 1:40:47
  NFL this year, even with Lawrence having.
• 1:40:49
  Go ask. Go ask Joe Shane who his number
• 1:40:52
  one pick was in his first draft. How good is he?
• 1:40:55
  Yeah, your corner who everybody says is the worst corner in NFL
• 1:40:59
  history. Oh yeah.
• 1:41:00
  Well, that's not ideal. And then he also.
• 1:41:02
  That's Joe Shane, ladies and gentlemen, combined attack with
• 1:41:06
  the one and only guy you call your head coach now, John
• 1:41:09
  Horrible, who is $100 million richer.
• 1:41:13
  And then you also have to deal with a lot of these other guys
• 1:41:15
  that while they have produced at times are still inconsistent.
• 1:41:18
  You have a complete bust with Evan Neal, who doesn't even
• 1:41:21
  start even this season when the Giants off.
• 1:41:23
  No, the Joe Shane guy. Yep, that was his first draft.
• 1:41:25
  Yvonne Thibodeau. Is a mystery because you have
• 1:41:29
  $11 million of salary cap. You have Abdul Carter there now
• 1:41:32
  as a second guy on a rookie contract to go along with Burns.
• 1:41:35
  Like, do you pay him? Do you trust anything to pay
• 1:41:37
  him? At this point, he probably seems
• 1:41:39
  like the most reasonable trade value casualty because you game
• 1:41:43
  the fifth year option. But again, going back to what
• 1:41:46
  you're inheriting, you're inheriting Joe Shane's team with
• 1:41:48
  Joe Shane now trying to make more decisions to try to make
• 1:41:50
  this roster better. And it's just a not an ideal
• 1:41:52
  thing. And John Harbaugh, obviously
• 1:41:54
  what worked under Ozzie Newsome was one of the best GMs this era
• 1:41:57
  that we've seen develop great talent with the Ravens.
• 1:42:00
  But like you said, the Ravens core since I think he had to
• 1:42:03
  restart it after that Super Bowl hasn't been the same as much.
• 1:42:07
  They had some good defensive players.
• 1:42:08
  Marlin Humphrey I would say was good.
• 1:42:09
  CJ Mosley when he was there was good.
• 1:42:11
  They've had some good ones, but not enough where there's enough
• 1:42:13
  consistency on key positions. Corner depth, edge rushers has
• 1:42:17
  always been a big problem for the Ravens, and receivers
• 1:42:20
  especially has been a big problem for the Ravens.
• 1:42:22
  Guess what's the risk problem for the Giants besides the leak
• 1:42:24
  neighbors who's not 100% healthy wide receivers.
• 1:42:27
  Yeah, good luck trying to find that, Joe Shane, because you
• 1:42:29
  haven't done it all that time. Now you bring in John Harbaugh
• 1:42:31
  coming in from the Ravens disciple.
• 1:42:33
  Have that work too. And you have neighbors coming
• 1:42:35
  back from a big injury. You don't know what you're going
• 1:42:37
  to get out of. Here, Robinson, come on now.
• 1:42:39
  Who had finally a Goodyear? They're not going to be able to
• 1:42:41
  signify that top ten in catches. I mean and and looks to me he's
• 1:42:48
  the blanket for your guy Jackson Dart and now.
• 1:42:51
  He's going to go to free. Agency, he's going to get a lot
• 1:42:53
  of money. He'll probably, he'll probably
• 1:42:54
  go to the Chiefs and be like in a Pro Bowler over there or
• 1:42:57
  something. He's going to get a lot of money
• 1:42:58
  in the offseason. And the Giants don't have the
• 1:43:00
  money to pay him. So where does Jackson Dart go?
• 1:43:02
  Next year. And why does any giant fan
• 1:43:04
  believe that this move is going to make them not much better?
• 1:43:07
  Yeah, they're you can't expect anything to be an instant
• 1:43:10
  success by any means. Now when I posted your article.
• 1:43:13
  You could check out Eric Errol's article on John Harbaugh on the
• 1:43:14
  Worldwide Sports Radio Network. When I posted it on I Love it
• 1:43:17
  20,000 fans. Yes, on our on our Reddit board,
• 1:43:20
  there were a lot of Giants fans that were being realistic,
• 1:43:22
  saying. 6-7 win season. Probably is all we're going to
• 1:43:24
  expect that FM, but there are others that had those
• 1:43:27
  expectations that it's high. You can't expect it to be a
• 1:43:29
  quick fix overnight. This is a guy that is a veteran
• 1:43:32
  head coach. Yeah, he had a great first year
• 1:43:35
  with the Ravens. He went to the AFC championship
• 1:43:36
  game with Flacco. But again, those types of years
• 1:43:39
  don't happen all the time, and you can't expect it to happen
• 1:43:42
  instantly in just one year of a turn around.
• 1:43:44
  He's no Tom Coughlin, right? He's no Bill Parcells.
• 1:43:49
  Yeah. And I was going to say, the
• 1:43:51
  Giants roster is not anywhere close to where that Ravens
• 1:43:54
  roster. Was at the time they had one bad
• 1:43:56
  year, their team got a little old fine.
• 1:43:58
  The Giants team is I guess on the younger side, but they're
• 1:44:01
  not super young either with a ton of upside where you could
• 1:44:04
  expect it to be turned around right away in a division that's
• 1:44:06
  pretty tough. Eagles, Cowboys.
• 1:44:08
  Cowboys should get better this offseason with the draft stock
• 1:44:10
  they have in Washington. They're not going to be as as
• 1:44:12
  they were like this year, like they were unlucky.
• 1:44:14
  You can't sell me. You can't sell me when when you
• 1:44:17
  hear your your coach come out and.
• 1:44:19
  Say that this is the best roster, this is the best team
• 1:44:23
  out of the teams that he was interviewing with.
• 1:44:24
  Maybe they're better than the Titans.
• 1:44:26
  You can argue better than the Titans.
• 1:44:28
  You can argue that. You can argue that like we were
• 1:44:31
  ranking it last week. I was definitely saying Atlanta
• 1:44:33
  was the one. Now we know the Bills.
• 1:44:35
  Are open. The bills are probably #1 now
• 1:44:37
  the Ravens and the Steelers are both better.
• 1:44:39
  Obviously, I, I was on the fence of even thinking Arizona was
• 1:44:43
  just as good as the Giants, right?
• 1:44:44
  Right now the Giants are probably more upside.
• 1:44:46
  But again, you can't expect a quick fix right now with, with
• 1:44:49
  John Harbaugh. Is it a good move?
• 1:44:51
  Maybe. But again, I agree with you.
• 1:44:52
  I would rather have a McCarthy. It's a stabilizer.
• 1:44:55
  Maybe the Giants do need A and you got and you got guys like
• 1:44:58
  Fish coming out and I love you Fish and I I I.
• 1:45:01
  Had my take on Fish. If you read the story, you'll
• 1:45:03
  probably laugh. And Fish didn't like some of the
• 1:45:06
  takes that I shot at him by the hip.
• 1:45:08
  And that's what I do. Ladies and gentlemen, I'm not
• 1:45:10
  going to beat around the Bush. I love Fish.
• 1:45:12
  Fish is my guy. But I'm not going to beat around
• 1:45:14
  the Bush. I'm going to come out and I'm
• 1:45:16
  going to come out strong. If you're a Giant fan and you're
• 1:45:18
  going to sit here and you're going to try to sell me this and
• 1:45:20
  you're going to try to argue with me about all John
• 1:45:23
  Horrible's going to make a difference.
• 1:45:24
  But then you don't know football.
• 1:45:26
  You don't know football. Because the fact here is John
• 1:45:30
  Horrible had the best quarterback in the NFL on his
• 1:45:34
  roster. Has he won anything with him?
• 1:45:36
  No, really. And it was he going to win
• 1:45:39
  anything? No.
• 1:45:40
  And that's why Lamar Jackson didn't want him there anymore.
• 1:45:43
  Lamar said I had enough with John.
• 1:45:45
  I want somebody else in there, a younger voice, a better voice
• 1:45:49
  and a voice that's going to help me get over the hump because God
• 1:45:52
  knows John Harbaugh wasn't. And that is a fact.
• 1:45:56
  And by the way, you Baltimore Raven fans out there, don't cry.
• 1:46:00
  Don't cry because you still have an elite quarterback.
• 1:46:03
  And if there's anybody that I trust in an organization that's
• 1:46:08
  going to find the right guy, Ozzie Newsome is still there.
• 1:46:11
  He's still working with the organization.
• 1:46:13
  He's still there. If there's anybody that's going
• 1:46:16
  to choose the right guy, that's going to put them in the right
• 1:46:18
  position to succeed, it's Ozzie Newsome.
• 1:46:21
  And thank God it wasn't Robert Solo.
• 1:46:23
  Yeah, that doesn't Bola with that one.
• 1:46:24
  But before you go Job, I just want to mention this, too.
• 1:46:26
  Like I'd rather have. Harbaugh than a lot of these
• 1:46:29
  flashy rookie coaches, Kubiak or any one of those guys that would
• 1:46:33
  have been available. Because again, I don't think the
• 1:46:34
  Giants are one coach away. I don't think, I don't think you
• 1:46:37
  can expect a transformation like you saw with Houston their
• 1:46:40
  rookie year or Washington the the previous year.
• 1:46:44
  Like those kind of things just don't happen overnight.
• 1:46:46
  So I'm fine with the culture stabilizer guy for that kind of
• 1:46:48
  thing. But again, to expect John
• 1:46:50
  Harbaugh to put them in or any coach don't really put them as
• 1:46:52
  an instant contender is something that's could be
• 1:46:55
  questioned. Now, I'm fine with the money.
• 1:46:56
  I mentioned it last year with Ben Johnson.
• 1:46:57
  The Bears had to take a big swing for Ben Johnson, even have
• 1:47:00
  to pay him more. And look how it's turned out for
• 1:47:01
  them. But the Bears have a lot more
• 1:47:03
  talent than the Giants do, too. A lot more.
• 1:47:04
  Yeah. And it was just being wasted by
• 1:47:07
  even worse coaching and a lot more money.
• 1:47:08
  Brian. David, a lot more draft stock.
• 1:47:11
  Brian Dabel looks like a a genius compared to bad Everflu
• 1:47:14
  spot. Nevertheless, Todd Monkey, if he
• 1:47:16
  does go over there, hopefully we get the Tampa version of him.
• 1:47:19
  That was a little more pass happy for Jackson dart to
• 1:47:21
  develop and not the run heavy type kind of hybrid that you saw
• 1:47:25
  with Lamar Jackson, because that kind of system is not going to
• 1:47:26
  work with Dart otherwise. He's running the ground.
• 1:47:30
  No, I, I wanted to switch gears a little bit and and you kind of
• 1:47:33
  touched on it with the Ben Johnson.
• 1:47:34
  Thing. I I find it very interesting
• 1:47:37
  and, and these contracts that these coaches are getting,
• 1:47:40
  coaches don't count against the cap.
• 1:47:42
  So that's why I'm OK with the deal.
• 1:47:44
  OK, so that for me it's. Like trying to understand
• 1:47:46
  because obviously players, we go against players.
• 1:47:49
  And contracts and how we see it and obviously that doesn't go
• 1:47:52
  against the cap, but do do is there any like system that they
• 1:47:58
  use as far? As what it is Or is it?
• 1:48:00
  Just like, no, it's just the owner.
• 1:48:01
  It's just. The ownership has to pay.
• 1:48:03
  But they're fine with paying it. The Raiders are still paying Jon
• 1:48:05
  Gruden, I wrote. That up earlier, yes, I did.
• 1:48:08
  But it's just, it's fascinating to me, like learning.
• 1:48:12
  A lot from. You guys and where my brain
• 1:48:14
  kicks in and I'm like, OK, well, coach wise it's like now he's
• 1:48:19
  always paid like does is there ramifications from other sides?
• 1:48:23
  Because we've obviously seen with Sean Payton and people can
• 1:48:26
  trade for Tomlin because they still have his rights for
• 1:48:28
  another year. And we've seen obviously Sean
• 1:48:29
  Payton when he went to the Broncos with with draft picks
• 1:48:32
  and stuff like that is do do they release the description of
• 1:48:37
  their contract or is it just they don't have to?
• 1:48:40
  Again, it's they're under. The difference with that is
• 1:48:42
  they're under the team control with with.
• 1:48:44
  The Saints, the Saints got a first round pick.
• 1:48:46
  They drafted Brian Bracy was a good defensive tackle with that
• 1:48:48
  pick. In this case, with the, in the
• 1:48:50
  case with the Raiders, it was a whole because it was a
• 1:48:52
  resignation, it was a whole buyout thing.
• 1:48:54
  And I would imagine it's the same kind of thing.
• 1:48:56
  If it doesn't work out with the Giants and Mike Tomley got
• 1:48:58
  himself a lot of money from wherever he's going to be work.
• 1:49:00
  I think he's working for Fox. Now he he could sit out for a
• 1:49:04
  couple of years if he wants. I don't think he will.
• 1:49:07
  He'll stay out for a year and then decide, hey, you know what,
• 1:49:10
  I could come back or I could coach this team or some team
• 1:49:14
  will go out there and offer him a significant portion of money.
• 1:49:18
  So I don't believe in any part of what I have seen over the
• 1:49:22
  last couple of years when it comes to coaches that have sit
• 1:49:26
  out like a Rex Ryan who never came back.
• 1:49:28
  I cannot see Mike Tomlin sitting out long enough like his his
• 1:49:32
  predecessor and Coward who decided, oh, I don't need to go
• 1:49:35
  back. Tomlin loves the game too much.
• 1:49:37
  And and Tomlin, remember he got the job when he was 34 years
• 1:49:40
  old. He's still fairly young.
• 1:49:41
  He's what, 52 years old? He's still very young.
• 1:49:44
  He's as a head coach. He's got a lot of years left if
• 1:49:47
  he wants another job. I just don't believe there's any
• 1:49:50
  jobs that interest him going into this offseason.
• 1:49:53
  So he's going to take the money as a broadcaster and spend time
• 1:49:56
  with his family. And next year, if a team is out
• 1:49:59
  there that has tremendous, A tremendous amount of talent and
• 1:50:02
  draft stock. I'm mentioning one if if Aaron
• 1:50:05
  Glenn fails, I wouldn't be surprised if he gets a phone
• 1:50:09
  call from Woody Johnson. It it's typical because Miami is
• 1:50:14
  another team that likes to hire coaches and fire him just as
• 1:50:17
  quick. So I, I mean, what's interesting
• 1:50:21
  to me is Mike McDaniel. It's it's still out there.
• 1:50:24
  Apparently the Browns want him badly.
• 1:50:27
  And then there's other teams. Now, obviously with the Bills,
• 1:50:29
  we'll get to them in a. Bit I think the Bills are going
• 1:50:30
  to try, but they have a weird rule where they have a delay
• 1:50:33
  where they can't interview these coaches.
• 1:50:35
  It's strange, but the Browns were the team and Sean McDermott
• 1:50:38
  is a quality head coach. I mean, he's done a great job.
• 1:50:42
  Over there in Buffalo, he's the one that developed Josh Allen, I
• 1:50:46
  think. I don't think people give him
• 1:50:47
  enough credit for the Josh Allen development.
• 1:50:49
  He was there from the beginning and he was there and you got to
• 1:50:52
  give him credit for that. So Sean McDermott might not get
• 1:50:55
  a job this year. Or if somebody wants to reach
• 1:50:58
  this year and if Sean wants to get another job, I think Sean
• 1:51:00
  should sit out this year, take a break and then take another job.
• 1:51:04
  Sean McDermott is going to be a hot commodity next year.
• 1:51:07
  I just want to point out cuz shout out to Nathan, you
• 1:51:09
  mentioned in the chat too as well, but you mentioned Mike
• 1:51:11
  McDaniel. Mike McDaniel.
• 1:51:13
  Actually just got picked up by the Chargers as their new
• 1:51:15
  offensive coordinator. Wow, really?
• 1:51:16
  Yes, so he is now with the Chargers on Jim Harbaugh's
• 1:51:20
  coaching and I'm. Going to tell you.
• 1:51:21
  Why he did that? Ladies and gentlemen.
• 1:51:23
  And the reason why he did that is cuz Mike McDaniel.
• 1:51:25
  Knows that playing with Justin Herbert next year and with the
• 1:51:28
  offensive lineman they're getting back next year, could
• 1:51:32
  you imagine what that offense is going to be?
• 1:51:33
  The way they can run the ball when they get their offensive
• 1:51:36
  firepower, their running backs back.
• 1:51:38
  I, I not only are they going to be dynamic, it's going to give
• 1:51:41
  Mike McDaniel another chance to be head coach in this league.
• 1:51:44
  He to me, if I, and I'll say this, he's my favorite coach.
• 1:51:48
  Oh yeah, he's my favorite. And if there's any coach out
• 1:51:52
  there, Mike Tomlin or? Any of these guys I'm.
• 1:51:54
  Taking Mike McDaniel IF. If the New York Jets.
• 1:51:56
  Are listening to me today and they they might be or they might
• 1:51:58
  not. If Aaron Glenn ever gets fired
• 1:52:00
  and I don't want him to get fired, but if he ever gets
• 1:52:02
  fired, if, if the fans push out Aaron Glenn, that's the guy I
• 1:52:06
  want. I want an offensive mighty
• 1:52:08
  coach. He's weird.
• 1:52:10
  He has a weird way of speaking because he doesn't speak right,
• 1:52:14
  but his drawing up plays, his understanding of the speed of
• 1:52:18
  the game and the way he finds players in the draft and and
• 1:52:22
  really looking for the players that fit his offense.
• 1:52:25
  He is the guy that I would bring there.
• 1:52:27
  You need an offensive mighty coach.
• 1:52:29
  He's the best one. That's the guy you're not
• 1:52:31
  worried about the trend of draft of maybe a weird, not at all.
• 1:52:34
  My ex, my heavy coach, is not out of gaze.
• 1:52:36
  I know not at all quickly eyes no, because Adam gaze is it's
• 1:52:40
  not Mike McDaniel I. I think what Mike?
• 1:52:42
  McDaniel brings to the. Table is an understanding on how
• 1:52:46
  to under the understand the speed of the game and use the
• 1:52:49
  players to work in his system. I don't think Adam Gates
• 1:52:52
  understand it what understood what kind of system he wanted to
• 1:52:55
  run. I think Mike McDaniel is the
• 1:52:57
  system trender and that's why I think he's the best hope for a
• 1:53:01
  lot of teams. And they got in and go to the
• 1:53:03
  Browns because he would have failed there.
• 1:53:04
  I think sitting out a year and try not to copy Robert Sala.
• 1:53:08
  I mean, we'll get into that a little bit later.
• 1:53:10
  But this guy is to me a slam dunk.
• 1:53:14
  Whoever hires him next. He had a winning record when he
• 1:53:16
  left Miami. Miami fired him with no
• 1:53:19
  quarterback. Think about that.
• 1:53:21
  He had no quarterback there. He took over for a coach that
• 1:53:24
  should have never been fired. Think about that and people
• 1:53:27
  questioning them bringing Mike McDaniel in.
• 1:53:30
  He to me, he did everything you wanted a coach to he two times
• 1:53:35
  in the playoffs with a quarterback, backup quarterback,
• 1:53:38
  one year a third string quarterback and almost won that
• 1:53:42
  game. I mean, it's an it's an amazing
• 1:53:44
  feat when you think about a young guy who has a tremendous
• 1:53:48
  ability, understanding that the game and and understanding the
• 1:53:51
  new style of game that teams and quarterbacks have to learn how
• 1:53:55
  to play. So that's the guy, man.
• 1:53:58
  That is the guy. That's the slam dunk, baby
• 1:54:01
  Jabba's, you know, in and out tonight.
• 1:54:03
  He's, you know, jiggling and wiggling as we all know him.
• 1:54:06
  We're waiting for the old peatster as we all know, ladies,
• 1:54:10
  and he's coming in. But my golf clap is right around
• 1:54:14
  the corner. This deserves a golf clap, no
• 1:54:18
  doubt. Golf clap.
• 1:54:19
  Golf clap. And my golf.
• 1:54:23
  Clap of the. Day goes to the MLB.
• 1:54:26
  Finally, the Riders. Get it right.
• 1:54:29
  And ladies and gentlemen, Carlos Beltran and Andrew Jones is now
• 1:54:36
  going to the Hall of Fame and I think very well worth it.
• 1:54:40
  I think about it. Andrew Jones, who's one of the
• 1:54:42
  greatest defensive center fielders we've ever seen from
• 1:54:45
  the Atlanta Braves. I, I think he doesn't get enough
• 1:54:48
  credit on his defense. And yeah, maybe he did steroids.
• 1:54:51
  Maybe at a time that he did steroids because he had a couple
• 1:54:54
  of seasons where he had over 40 home runs and one time fifty
• 1:54:58
  home runs. Maybe he did steroids, but it
• 1:54:59
  was never been proven. But guess what?
• 1:55:01
  There are a lot of guys that are in the Hall of Fame that I
• 1:55:04
  believe did steroids. Jeff Bagwell, you're going to
• 1:55:06
  tell me he never did steroids. How about Mike Piazzo, we've
• 1:55:09
  heard many, many times he had pimples all over his back.
• 1:55:11
  I know that doesn't mean steroids, but hey, that's the
• 1:55:14
  sign of it. I mean, there are a lot of guys,
• 1:55:16
  David Ortiz, who was on the list.
• 1:55:17
  There are guys that are in the Hall of Fame.
• 1:55:19
  Carlos Belt, he did some nasty things as a manager.
• 1:55:21
  There's no question that he did. He was a part of that Astro
• 1:55:24
  scandal and he was a part of that.
• 1:55:26
  That's why he didn't get the match job and that's the facts.
• 1:55:29
  And I still think he should get a coaching job or a manager job
• 1:55:32
  one way or another. Guy's a great baseball mind.
• 1:55:34
  This guy was one of the greatest playoff players we've ever seen.
• 1:55:38
  When he was when he went to the Astros, from jumping from one
• 1:55:40
  team to another when he when he left Kansas City, what he did in
• 1:55:43
  Kansas City, when he was then when they went to the playoffs,
• 1:55:46
  then what he did with the Astros, then what he did with
• 1:55:48
  the Mets. I mean, this guy was an all
• 1:55:50
  around beast, great defender, great offensive player, very
• 1:55:55
  well deserved. And Andrew Jones did just as
• 1:55:57
  much of of he's just as much of A talent as Carlos Beltran
• 1:56:01
  Beltran has for what he did on the football, on the baseball
• 1:56:04
  field, when it came to power, when it came to hitting, when it
• 1:56:07
  came to defense, everything very well deserved and the writers
• 1:56:11
  got it right. They finally got it right.
• 1:56:13
  These guys belong in the Hall of Fame.
• 1:56:15
  These guys are two of the greats of this era and very well
• 1:56:18
  deserved. So my golf course goes to the
• 1:56:20
  writers. Finally, I'm going to give him a
• 1:56:22
  golf clap on sending Carlos Beltran and Andrew Jones to the
• 1:56:27
  the Baseball Hall of Fame. Cooper's down.
• 1:56:30
  Golf clap. Golf clap.
• 1:56:32
  All right, ladies and gentlemen, when we come back, we're going
• 1:56:35
  to have him pop in and boy, oh boy, he's going to have a lot of
• 1:56:39
  popping because Minnesota didn't do much popping for them or him
• 1:56:45
  throughout the season. When we come back, a lot to get
• 1:56:48
  into on JJ McCarthy and this organization moving funny
• 1:56:51
  forward, or I almost said funny because there's a lot of jokes
• 1:56:54
  he's going to be making on the New York Jets.
• 1:56:56
  I'm going to be making on his Minnesota Vikings.
• 1:56:59

  Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages,
• 1:58:55
  wonder of us all is in the file now.
• 1:59:00
  Ladies and gentlemen, we are now speaking to former Vikings
• 1:59:03
  linebacker and current Vikings radio broadcaster, our friend,
• 1:59:07
  the one, the only, Pete Bersik Petey.
• 1:59:12
  What's up, my friend? How are you guys?
• 1:59:14
  You're worldwide now. That's pretty.
• 1:59:16
  That's pretty impressive. Thank you, man.
• 1:59:17
  And we're a. Top 200 show.
• 1:59:19
  We've been a top 200 show for the last couple of months.
• 1:59:22
  In the country on Spotify and Apple, we're rocking it.
• 1:59:25
  And we were at 117 during I think the early December time,
• 1:59:30
  so we were almost in the top 100.
• 1:59:33
  We're not on a major network yet, so we're getting there and
• 1:59:37
  we're boxing our way through. My friend, how are you?
• 1:59:41
  Good. That's all the work, man.
• 1:59:43
  At least it pays off a little bit, right?
• 1:59:45
  I mean you. Sit there and do this.
• 1:59:46
  I mean, what do you do this every night?
• 1:59:48
  Five nights a week? 7 nights a week?
• 1:59:50
  No, we actually nights a week. We do it Mondays and Thursdays.
• 1:59:53
  If I did it five nights a week, I wouldn't.
• 1:59:55
  Have a voice, my friend. I wouldn't have a voice.
• 1:59:58
  He tried to start singing like he tried to do in the intro.
• 2:00:00
  Pete, I'd be lost. Pete, I'd be.
• 2:00:02
  Fed to the. Crocodiles OK, at least you have
• 2:00:05
  a nice comfy. Couch now I do I I listen
• 2:00:07
  inflatable or is that what is that?
• 2:00:10
  Doesn't look like it's inflatable.
• 2:00:12
  My friend, come on. Come on.
• 2:00:14
  Look like I'm pressing on it. That's not inflating, you know,
• 2:00:17
  it's it's it's got some cushion, Pete, but is that a air hockey
• 2:00:21
  table or what is that behind you?
• 2:00:22
  Yeah, it's an Right now it's an. Air.
• 2:00:25
  It's an air hockey table you can flip over.
• 2:00:27
  It has a pool table. Then we have ping pong table
• 2:00:30
  board that we can put on top of it, and that's ping pong's more
• 2:00:33
  my jam. I mean, air hockey's fine, but
• 2:00:36
  ping pong is is kind of my kind of my thing.
• 2:00:38
  All right, How could it only three star balls that your
• 2:00:41
  house, right? Yeah, I'm not good.
• 2:00:45
  Enough to for all that, but. Yeah, I've heard I'm a good.
• 2:00:49
  Ping pong. I've heard that before.
• 2:00:51
  I'm a good ping pong player, you know.
• 2:00:52
  I don't know. I'm not that good yet.
• 2:00:55
  Well, Pete, are you willing to go?
• 2:00:57
  Out on a limb and play me in ping pong whenever.
• 2:01:00
  We meet for the first time, Yeah, with with with biceps like
• 2:01:05
  that and doing push ups during commercial break.
• 2:01:08
  I don't do that buddy. I I don't do that there when I
• 2:01:11
  do. When I do go to the gym, I do
• 2:01:13
  3000 push ups every single week. The Herschel work, Herschel
• 2:01:16
  Walker workout, I do a lot of it.
• 2:01:18
  I I've taken in 12,000 push ups every single month.
• 2:01:22
  I do certain calisthenics workouts when I go to the gym.
• 2:01:26
  So there's a lot of things that I do and it keeps me young and I
• 2:01:29
  try to stay as young as I possibly can.
• 2:01:31
  Like you. You look good man, you are a
• 2:01:33
  great football player. If I was doing 3000 push ups a
• 2:01:37
  week, my elbows and my shoulders would be done.
• 2:01:40
  That's the hardest part. I mean, you get to a certain
• 2:01:44
  age, you just don't wake up. And feel good.
• 2:01:45
  Anymore right and then as you get a little bit older you
• 2:01:50
  actually have to work out and feel like crap in order to feel
• 2:01:54
  good the next day it's a 0 sum game in that in that regard and
• 2:01:57
  it doesn't get any better you're not that much older enjoy it now
• 2:02:00
  while you can you're not that much older than me buddy I mean
• 2:02:03
  I'm I'm. 43 there. Are a lot of miles on the
• 2:02:06
  chassis. Though that's true, you did play
• 2:02:08
  professional football. You did.
• 2:02:09
  Beat up your body. Yeah, Yeah.
• 2:02:11
  Yeah, it wasn't. Yeah, four years of Lou Holtz
• 2:02:14
  and all that. It doesn't.
• 2:02:16
  Yeah. It'll it'll shorten the
• 2:02:17
  lifespan, no question is a tendency to do so.
• 2:02:21
  Speaking of lifespans, JJ McCarthy, I mean, yes.
• 2:02:26
  Here. Here's the facts.
• 2:02:27
  Here, I mean, Sam Donald did wonders for you guys last year.
• 2:02:31
  You guys decided to part ways with Sam.
• 2:02:34
  He goes to Seattle. Now these one way.
• 2:02:36
  He's one game away from being in a Super Bowl and winning a Super
• 2:02:39
  Bowl. We all know this because I'm a
• 2:02:41
  Jet fan. We drafted him.
• 2:02:43
  He goes over there, develops over there with O'Connell and
• 2:02:47
  now he goes over the Seattle and Seattle's enjoying the riches of
• 2:02:51
  Sam Donald. What are your thoughts of JJ
• 2:02:53
  McCarthy in his first full season as the starting
• 2:02:57
  quarterback? I mean he he improved to get
• 2:02:59
  better but there is a season 1 you.
• 2:03:02
  Know the, the problem, the main, I think the main challenge, so
• 2:03:06
  right now is just consistency, consistency #1 and just your
• 2:03:11
  ability to stay on the field. Because it was, I mean, he's
• 2:03:15
  been around for, he's been around for two seasons, right?
• 2:03:18
  So that's 35 games because we had a playoff game.
• 2:03:22
  I believe he's missed 17 or 18 of those games at least.
• 2:03:29
  In fact, it's probably more than that.
• 2:03:32
  Yeah, it's. Way more than that, yeah.
• 2:03:34
  You're looking at 18 plus probably 5.
• 2:03:37
  It's something around 10 I think.
• 2:03:39
  He's played in in in in two years.
• 2:03:42
  It's just so the injury bug, the injury bugs a big deal.
• 2:03:46
  And I say this and it's more, you see it more now than you
• 2:03:50
  really than you have ever. It's just you got to stay
• 2:03:52
  healthy if you want to. If you want to continue to take
• 2:03:54
  your game to the next level, especially if your defensive
• 2:03:57
  back, your quarterback, you've got to stay healthy.
• 2:04:00
  Why? Because you're going to have a
• 2:04:03
  game plan that the coach wants you to execute to your skill.
• 2:04:06
  Set, you go out and execute it and then.
• 2:04:08
  Defenses are going to figure out a way to stop it.
• 2:04:10
  And then you sit down with the hit with your coach and you
• 2:04:12
  figure out, OK, they're doing this, so we're going to do this.
• 2:04:15
  And then you stay. It's just that it's that cat and
• 2:04:17
  mouse game, right, that you play and you have to be around week
• 2:04:23
  in and week out in order to benefit from that experience,
• 2:04:27
  right? You're not, you're not going to
• 2:04:30
  take it to the next level or it's going to be much more
• 2:04:33
  difficult to take to the next level if you're just not in,
• 2:04:36
  you're in and you're out. And I mean, the, the injuries
• 2:04:39
  are very frustrating. It's a concussion ankle and
• 2:04:43
  they're all different. It's not like it's the same body
• 2:04:45
  part that's failing. It's just constant plays against
• 2:04:48
  Green Bay and then runs the ball out of bounds.
• 2:04:50
  He lowers his shoulder and tries to run over defensive back on
• 2:04:53
  his way out of bounds. And it's like, have you not
• 2:04:55
  learned anything yet? The NFL?
• 2:04:58
  These are men. You're going to get hit and
• 2:05:00
  you're going to get hurt again and you can't, you know, you
• 2:05:03
  can't afford that. So I think from that aspect of
• 2:05:05
  it, if that's the most frustrating part, we just never
• 2:05:08
  really got to see him put together 456 games.
• 2:05:13
  There's always something nagging.
• 2:05:14
  There's always, you know, every Tuesday you're sitting there
• 2:05:17
  going, Oh my God, what's it going to be this week?
• 2:05:19
  It's going to slow. His progress is he's already 2
• 2:05:22
  years into it, right? He's only 22.
• 2:05:25
  I actually just had a birthday. So he might be 23 or yeah, he
• 2:05:28
  might be just turn 23. So that part of it is that part
• 2:05:34
  of it is frustrating. You know, a lot of interceptions
• 2:05:37
  this year, six of his, I think he had 10 or 12 by the end of
• 2:05:41
  the season. I don't know off the top of my
• 2:05:43
  head. They were targeting Justin
• 2:05:45
  Jefferson and that you know, you have Justin Jefferson who whose
• 2:05:50
  cap number is going to be close to 50 million this year.
• 2:05:53
  You know, they may restructure them.
• 2:05:55
  So you have that, you have that that piece.
• 2:05:58
  You got to find a way to get the football to them and you know
• 2:06:02
  that relationship. I don't think really blossomed
• 2:06:06
  at all, you know, even more toward the end of the season.
• 2:06:09
  As you know, Justin Jefferson, I believe in week five against
• 2:06:12
  Cleveland was his last 100 yard performance.
• 2:06:16
  So, you know, you, you, yeah, you scratch your head and you
• 2:06:21
  go, OK, so he had a Justin Jefferson had a touchdown
• 2:06:25
  against Detroit. I believe that was week 6 or 7
• 2:06:29
  or somewhere in there, right around the middle enough to
• 2:06:31
  spoil them out of the playoffs. Well, no.
• 2:06:34
  This is the first time we played.
• 2:06:36
  When we kind of surprised everybody.
• 2:06:38
  But that was his, that was his last touchdown.
• 2:06:40
  He scored one on opening night fourth quarter to beat the Bears
• 2:06:44
  and then scored one against Detroit and that was it.
• 2:06:46
  So again, you can't, there's a lot there that needs to be
• 2:06:52
  developed. He's made some great throws,
• 2:06:55
  shown some accuracy, done some good things from getting out of
• 2:06:59
  the pocket. He he's, he's athletic, not as
• 2:07:02
  athletic as your guy. I think Dart is, is more
• 2:07:05
  athletic. Well, no, I'm sorry.
• 2:07:07
  He's with the Giants. I don't know why you're.
• 2:07:11
  Laughing. That's.
• 2:07:14
  True, I didn't. Think all the interceptions.
• 2:07:16
  You guys. Anyway, I digress, but.
• 2:07:21
  Yeah, we're, you know, it's. You look at Darnold.
• 2:07:25
  I mean, Darnold was Darnold was. Cut before we ever signed him
• 2:07:28
  because he drafted JJ McCarthy #10 you traded up to get him
• 2:07:33
  round one a year before. And so that decision was already
• 2:07:36
  made. So it's not as if the Vikings
• 2:07:38
  didn't keep Darnold. They offered him a contract,
• 2:07:39
  says that Darnold said no, I'm I need to be the man and the
• 2:07:42
  starter. And Seattle said, OK, here's a
• 2:07:45
  here's a ton of money, let's go. It's tough.
• 2:07:47
  It's the first time in the history of the NFL at a
• 2:07:50
  quarterback. Won 14 games with the team and
• 2:07:52
  didn't return with said team. And now he's a game away from
• 2:07:55
  going to the Super Bowl. So tough to see.
• 2:07:57
  Makes you wonder. But when you draft the
• 2:07:59
  quarterback in the first, all right, there you go.
• 2:08:01
  Here he goes, here he goes, there he goes, ladies and
• 2:08:04
  gentlemen. I was waiting.
• 2:08:06
  I was waiting for him to bring up the New York Jets, but that's
• 2:08:09
  coming. Ladies, I will stop it.
• 2:08:11
  I was surprised Jackson Dart was worked in tabs.
• 2:08:14
  Jab Yeah, you came up with a cable with a new bag of tricks.
• 2:08:18
  It's coming, ladies. And gentlemen, so I.
• 2:08:21
  Just continue on with the passing game, the Vikings
• 2:08:23
  offense. I think a lot of other
• 2:08:24
  circumstances, obviously. Happening obviously Addison with
• 2:08:27
  a suspension then he was kind of up and down without the
• 2:08:29
  offensive line injuries. I was actually at the Vikings
• 2:08:31
  Giants game right before Christmas and I think one of the
• 2:08:34
  Vikings interior offensive lineman got hurt in that game
• 2:08:36
  and Hawkinson same kind of thing.
• 2:08:38
  Do you think McCarthy didn't trust a lot of those guys and
• 2:08:41
  was wrote one read to Jefferson a lot of the time or do you
• 2:08:43
  think it's a lot about the offensive coaching?
• 2:08:44
  The offense has changed quite a bit from this year to last year.
• 2:08:47
  We last year with Darnold the very.
• 2:08:49
  Vertical team and Darnold can make those throws a lot of deep
• 2:08:55
  over routes, you know double moves things like that a lot of
• 2:09:00
  progress. You know, pure progressive
• 2:09:02
  progression type reads where you you're not necessarily you don't
• 2:09:07
  necessarily know where you're going to go with the ball pre
• 2:09:09
  snap. You read as you go, which takes
• 2:09:12
  a little bit longer and yeah, it it didn't quite work out very
• 2:09:18
  well early on. And I think.
• 2:09:21
  We saw the offense. Change a little bit along the
• 2:09:24
  way and they simplified it, cut the field in half form, made
• 2:09:28
  some good throws, but it's just it's not the style of offense I
• 2:09:33
  think that Justin Jefferson is best suited for.
• 2:09:37
  We'll see. Well, you know, they'll, they'll
• 2:09:39
  get there, I would assume. But, you know, right now we'll
• 2:09:41
  see. But it it's, yeah, it's, it's a
• 2:09:45
  little disappointing on that end.
• 2:09:49
  Turnovers killed us. Penalties killed us early.
• 2:09:52
  I mean, we were last in the league in sack rate, which Chris
• 2:09:58
  Cooper, our offensive line coach was was let go.
• 2:10:01
  So they're going to try to make some changes there.
• 2:10:03
  Yeah. So we're we're still.
• 2:10:06
  Yeah. Ryan Kelly's the center.
• 2:10:08
  He's the guy that you're talking about.
• 2:10:09
  He just got back from a concussion and he's got another
• 2:10:12
  one. So he might be done.
• 2:10:13
  His career might be over with. I think he had three of them
• 2:10:17
  this year, so 2 for sure. So, yeah, it's we got a lot of
• 2:10:21
  rebuilding to do. We are talking to former Vikings
• 2:10:23
  linebacker and Curry Vikings radio broadcaster Pete Bursick.
• 2:10:27
  He's been on our show quite a few times and very likable
• 2:10:32
  person. We love him and we've gone,
• 2:10:35
  we've gone back and forth. We still haven't met.
• 2:10:37
  We still haven't gone to a game where and I got a ping pong rule
• 2:10:41
  hasn't put me, he hasn't put me on a broadcast because I was in
• 2:10:44
  New York. I.
• 2:10:45
  Was in New York, we. What came out there Thursday
• 2:10:48
  before the Giants? Game Oh yeah I get it I was I
• 2:10:51
  was at that game it was a birthday guy I don't know I
• 2:10:53
  totally forgot I. Forgot about us, Pete.
• 2:10:55
  We're we're we're not a forgetful bunch of.
• 2:10:57
  Guys, but you're forgetting about us.
• 2:10:59
  I'm. I'm a little upset, man, little
• 2:11:01
  upset there, but you know, like the rest of the New York teams
• 2:11:04
  and you, you work out of New Jersey well.
• 2:11:08
  Well, there's a lot to get into. I mean my take on John Harbaugh.
• 2:11:12
  Was pretty much the giants don't have anything and for him to
• 2:11:15
  come out and say that the Atlanta Falcons are not the
• 2:11:18
  better team is a ridiculous take.
• 2:11:20
  It just tells me that he's going for the money and that's that's
• 2:11:23
  the facts and and and and I like Jackson dart but we don't know
• 2:11:27
  what Jackson dart is The guy doesn't obviously throw the
• 2:11:30
  ball. He slides he doesn't slide very
• 2:11:32
  much. He puts himself in harm's way.
• 2:11:34
  When is it going to take we saw scataboo.
• 2:11:36
  We've heard that, we've seen the stuff and I he said that about
• 2:11:39
  Scatterpot Watch, he's going to have a bad injury this year.
• 2:11:42
  He's going to go down. He's not going to be the same
• 2:11:43
  person as same player and what happens he goes down, he has a
• 2:11:46
  horrible injury and and Cam Scatterpot might not be the same
• 2:11:49
  person. I just you play that way, it's
• 2:11:52
  going to eventually haunt you. And I think John Harbaugh is an
• 2:11:56
  interesting selection. I think the Giants think that
• 2:11:58
  they won something, but they still got Joe Shane there.
• 2:12:01
  And now you got to they're they're becoming The Jets now
• 2:12:04
  because now they got to answer to ownership.
• 2:12:07
  Who, when have you heard on a coach in AGM go and have to talk
• 2:12:14
  to ownership before they make a move?
• 2:12:16
  The New York Jets, It's typical. So how is this work?
• 2:12:20
  It doesn't work. So it tells me the Giants are
• 2:12:23
  putting themselves in a really bad position.
• 2:12:25
  And by the way, and I said this and I'll say it again and you
• 2:12:28
  can say this and I, Pete, you might like John and I, I don't
• 2:12:31
  hate John. What does he want besides taking
• 2:12:35
  over for a Ray? You know, remember he took Ray
• 2:12:37
  Lewis, he took Ed, Ed Reed, he took Suggs.
• 2:12:41
  These weren't his guys. He took those guys on a roster
• 2:12:44
  that was pretty much made for him to win and he won with that
• 2:12:48
  roster. Since then, his development of
• 2:12:51
  Lamar Jackson is guess what? Lamar Jackson didn't want him
• 2:12:53
  there. Lamar was the reason why he
• 2:12:55
  didn't go back. So that tells me one thing.
• 2:12:58
  It tells me that he lost his team.
• 2:13:00
  He lost his one player, the player that he believed was on
• 2:13:04
  his side. So what it tells me is John
• 2:13:07
  Harbaugh is going to be there. He signed A5 year deal.
• 2:13:10
  He won't be there more than three or four years.
• 2:13:12
  He will fail over there with the Giants and then he'll ride off
• 2:13:15
  into the sunset like all the other coaches and GM's.
• 2:13:18
  As I wrote my story, they've had four coaches and three GM's in
• 2:13:22
  10 years. Failure, failure, failure,
• 2:13:25
  failure. He's got a chance, though.
• 2:13:26
  We'll see. I mean, it's, it's crazy this
• 2:13:30
  year. The decisions that that have
• 2:13:32
  been have been made like in Buffalo, you know what, what
• 2:13:37
  ultimately went down there and and you're right too, we don't
• 2:13:39
  know. We don't know all the stories.
• 2:13:41
  I mean, if it came down to the quarterback or the head coach
• 2:13:46
  and something had to give, sometimes it's a lot easier to
• 2:13:49
  get rid of a head coach than it is a quarterback.
• 2:13:51
  Apparently he was critical of the Bills roster or something
• 2:13:53
  like before the playoffs. And you know what's funny?
• 2:13:56
  I, I I'm sorry to. Cut you off and the reason why
• 2:13:57
  I'm flipping it is if you look at what's going on with.
• 2:14:00
  Buffalo and you look at what's going on with the Giants.
• 2:14:02
  I know a lot of Jet fans are saying Aaron Glenn this and
• 2:14:05
  Aaron Glenn that, but Dan Campbell, his first year only
• 2:14:08
  had three wins and this was not Aaron Glenn's team.
• 2:14:11
  And look at the draft stock The Jets have right now moving
• 2:14:15
  forward and they can move down in the set in the first round at
• 2:14:18
  2nd because there isn't going to be a quarterback available now
• 2:14:21
  that Dante Moore is going back into the either, he's going to
• 2:14:25
  the portal, he's going back to Oregon.
• 2:14:27
  So The Jets are in the driver's seat once again to really put
• 2:14:32
  themselves in a great position and they have a lot of money.
• 2:14:35
  They have third most money in the offseason to add players.
• 2:14:38
  So the driver's seat is, I don't care what John Harboll said and
• 2:14:42
  said. And I heard there was a story
• 2:14:43
  that came out that The Jets reached out to him and he didn't
• 2:14:46
  want to even have a conversation with The Jets.
• 2:14:48
  Well, guess what, John? Let's see how you work with $11
• 2:14:51
  million. Let's see what you work with
• 2:14:53
  with the least amount of draft stock that you have in the next
• 2:14:56
  two years. And we'll see how that all works
• 2:14:58
  with you and this organization, which you got to go to John
• 2:15:01
  Mayer to make decisions. Wonderful.
• 2:15:03
  I can't wait. This isn't Ozzie Newsome, this
• 2:15:05
  is John Mayer who decided or didn't speak up for Saquon
• 2:15:09
  Barkley. And what did he do?
• 2:15:10
  He almost broke Eric Dickerson's record.
• 2:15:12
  And by the way, Saquon Barkley won a Super Bowl last year.
• 2:15:15
  Kiss my ass, Johnny. Yeah, I'm speechless.
• 2:15:18
  I I'm. I don't know what to say.
• 2:15:19
  But after that one, I'm sorry, Pete.
• 2:15:21
  I'm just. No, I don't.
• 2:15:23
  Apologize, I'm trying to, I'm trying to wear it on your
• 2:15:25
  sleeve, man. It's.
• 2:15:26
  A good thing I I'm trying to be an.
• 2:15:27
  Influencer here. And I I I if anybody.
• 2:15:30
  Listens to show knows and I'm out of my.
• 2:15:31
  Mind I, I speak the truth and I'm a personality and I'm not
• 2:15:36
  going to sit here and beat around the Bush if you're going
• 2:15:38
  to sell me. I wrote a book.
• 2:15:39
  I wrote a book, I wrote. I wrote a story that drew 20,000
• 2:15:44
  fans to attack me on social media.
• 2:15:47
  Now I've been writing a lot and terrorizing the Reddit area of
• 2:15:52
  the world and I'm my store user. That's a rough.
• 2:15:55
  I love it. I love it.
• 2:15:57
  Pete if you want if you want to respond to all his articles.
• 2:15:59
  Where all the. Worldwide sports radio website
• 2:16:01
  Worldwide Pete I got. To sing, we got to swap.
• 2:16:03
  We got to swap numbers. I got to sing you some of the
• 2:16:06
  the stories that I write. I think you would enjoy it.
• 2:16:08
  You laugh your ass off. Yeah, you'd be good.
• 2:16:11
  I will. And I'll.
• 2:16:12
  I'll have speed to get your number.
• 2:16:13
  But I have been a person. Of.
• 2:16:16
  Personality over the over the years and I've always come out
• 2:16:20
  and I've told you from from the gun how I feel about something
• 2:16:24
  and I'm not going to beat around the Bush.
• 2:16:25
  And if there's any Bush that I'm beating around, it's the Bush
• 2:16:27
  that Speedy needs to cut. So.
• 2:16:33
  But my thought here is, yeah, if you look at all three New York
• 2:16:38
  teams, if you're in a driver's seat right now, I, I, Josh Allen
• 2:16:43
  is by far the best quarterback. And The Jets don't have a
• 2:16:46
  quarterback and the Giants think they have a quarterback.
• 2:16:48
  Besides that, the team that's in the driver's seat right now, as
• 2:16:52
  much as you don't want to believe it, is the New York
• 2:16:56
  Jets. And for John Harbaugh to come
• 2:16:58
  out and say, well, I don't even want to talk to them, they're
• 2:17:02
  not worth my time, tells me that John Harbaugh is doing one thing
• 2:17:07
  and one thing only. Not doing yourself, you know, a
• 2:17:10
  service on understanding what's out there and the possibilities
• 2:17:14
  of taking a team that's failed for 50 years or 60 years on not
• 2:17:18
  winning a Super Bowl and bringing them to the winning
• 2:17:21
  ways that they want to be. That's the way you go.
• 2:17:24
  You don't go to a team. Oh, I'm going to go and jump
• 2:17:26
  and, and be a Mara bitch, you know, cuz that's what he is.
• 2:17:29
  He's a Mara bitch. So that's, that's what he is.
• 2:17:32
  He took the money, he's a bitch and that's the way I look at it.
• 2:17:36
  And until he proves me otherwise, the fact that he has
• 2:17:39
  say what say do you have? You have $11 million, you are
• 2:17:43
  going to have to move text to Lawrence.
• 2:17:45
  He is your best defensive lineman who wasn't healthy this
• 2:17:48
  year and you're going to move your best defensive lineman
• 2:17:50
  because you can't afford them? Hey, that tells me an
• 2:17:53
  incompetent GM and he's still there running the show and
• 2:17:57
  telling you what he is doing and you're going to have say on it.
• 2:18:01
  Good friggin luck. That's all I'm going to say.
• 2:18:04
  Good luck. If that is the case, then there
• 2:18:07
  will be clues because that you know, coaches will never come
• 2:18:10
  out and. Say what exactly is going on,
• 2:18:12
  but he'll I think Harbaugh would make it clear that he's not
• 2:18:16
  making personnel decisions. If, you know, keep an eye out
• 2:18:20
  for any any comments along those lines where you know, and I'm
• 2:18:24
  not I don't do personnel or it's, you know, I don't make
• 2:18:26
  those final decisions. You know, those are the those
• 2:18:29
  are the little Nuggets that you that's how you read between the
• 2:18:31
  lines with with coach speak. They're good at it.
• 2:18:34
  They're going to, I mean, and I think the other thing too might
• 2:18:36
  be just what are your thoughts on just the divisions that the
• 2:18:40
  Giants are more likely to succeed right in the NFC East
• 2:18:44
  then maybe a team is now with the emergence of New England.
• 2:18:48
  Here's what I'm going to tell you.
• 2:18:50
  The Giants have to still deal with the Eagles, and I'm sorry.
• 2:18:53
  The Eagles have a way built more talented machine over there.
• 2:18:58
  They still got to deal with the Cowboys.
• 2:19:00
  The Cowboys are missing a corner and a defensive lineman to be an
• 2:19:03
  elite team. OK, elite.
• 2:19:06
  Maybe a little more. I I don't really think so.
• 2:19:07
  I I think they're real. Maybe maybe another corner.
• 2:19:10
  They bring George Pickens. They have the money.
• 2:19:12
  They they have all the ability in the world to be a contender
• 2:19:15
  next year. Washington, they got to prove
• 2:19:18
  themselves. They got to stay healthy.
• 2:19:19
  The Giants are in a harder division than Jess.
• 2:19:21
  I don't trust the Patriots. They they had the third easiest
• 2:19:24
  schedule in NFL history. Third, the easiest schedule in
• 2:19:28
  NFL history. And let me ask you a question as
• 2:19:30
  good as Drake. May was and everybody.
• 2:19:32
  Says an. MVP candidate which is Matthew
• 2:19:34
  Stafford. No question.
• 2:19:36
  Drake may tell me how many over 500 teams did he beat this year?
• 2:19:43
  Don't know. Didn't follow the Patriots this
• 2:19:45
  year exactly. He won 10 games.
• 2:19:48
  They. Won 10 games in a row and beat
• 2:19:49
  nobody. They beat nothing.
• 2:19:51
  And by the way, they'll change next year, that's for sure.
• 2:19:53
  Yeah, definitely will. Let's ask you how, how, how good
• 2:19:57
  did? He look last this past.
• 2:19:58
  Week, you know I didn't watch. Much.
• 2:20:01
  Of that game, you're better off not because that was the.
• 2:20:04
  Worst I just I can. Only I can, only I can't
• 2:20:07
  dedicate. Two entire days to it so.
• 2:20:10
  I don't watch, you know, a little a little bit of it.
• 2:20:12
  It's just turnovers were listen, listen, I mean, that's that,
• 2:20:17
  that whole that that Texans offensive line was getting.
• 2:20:19
  Pushed around, they couldn't run.
• 2:20:21
  It's like. You're thinking to yourself,
• 2:20:22
  just run the ball because it's better than turning it over.
• 2:20:26
  And they just couldn't even run the ball because their offensive
• 2:20:29
  line was getting destroyed, you know?
• 2:20:31
  So yeah, the Texans just, yeah, they, they, they look rough.
• 2:20:35
  I'd rather take a dump than watch the Texans and the
• 2:20:38
  Patriots play in that football. Game honestly it massive dump
• 2:20:43
  because I was in Montreal watching this game and me and my
• 2:20:46
  girlfriend was sitting there and was saying what are we watching
• 2:20:48
  I mean how are you doing in Montreal well we took a ride we
• 2:20:51
  take a vacation we love Canada so we we.
• 2:20:54
  We fly or drive. We usually you've been a
• 2:20:57
  Whistler. I've been a Whistler, yeah.
• 2:21:00
  Vancouver Whistler, yeah. Yeah, I, I, I was at the.
• 2:21:03
  NHL draft over there in Vancouver.
• 2:21:05
  It's beautiful. It's beautiful.
• 2:21:07
  Went up there before we played, played the Seahawks this year,
• 2:21:10
  right Thanksgiving time. It's just.
• 2:21:12
  Beautiful. It's Blood Canada.
• 2:21:13
  It's been the band for me. I used to go to Calgary every
• 2:21:15
  summer and so I'm I'm with you on that.
• 2:21:18
  Love it. And we went to Montreal, but it
• 2:21:20
  was snowing. It was disgusting out.
• 2:21:21
  We did sightsee and she never got a chance to see.
• 2:21:23
  It, I used to go there as a hockey player, so I, I love
• 2:21:26
  Canada and I don't know if I would ever live there because
• 2:21:29
  the food is just absolutely putrid.
• 2:21:31
  It's horrible. But the, the courtesy, the, the
• 2:21:36
  politeness of people there are so much better here there than
• 2:21:39
  they are here. I guess it's the king now, but
• 2:21:43
  they used to have a picture of the Queen and all and all the
• 2:21:45
  hockey rinks. Yes, they have Queen.
• 2:21:47
  They have pictures of all different people on their money
• 2:21:49
  too. Their money's easy to.
• 2:21:50
  RIP Very nice to look at, but our money is definitely worth
• 2:21:53
  more money. So I'd rather play here in New
• 2:21:56
  York or in the States then play out there in Canada and have to
• 2:21:59
  deal with that. But you know, my question and
• 2:22:02
  and my thought here with with you is you mentioned the New
• 2:22:06
  York teams and there are four teams still in the playoffs and
• 2:22:11
  there are the Rams in Seattle, the Patriots and I call them
• 2:22:16
  shits them because Stidham is the starting quarterback of the
• 2:22:21
  Broncos going into the AFC title game.
• 2:22:24
  And this when you when you talk about the NFL and rigging
• 2:22:28
  opportunities, this is the beautiful and most polite way of
• 2:22:34
  saying, hey, Seattle or the Rams or the Patriots.
• 2:22:38
  Both teams played the Patriots in less than 10 years.
• 2:22:42
  And what a Kuwinky dink that would fall together for the old
• 2:22:45
  crafter who likes to go to massage parlors, too.
• 2:22:49
  So I I mean, this would be perfect for him.
• 2:22:51
  He could go to San Francisco and go to whatever massage parlor he
• 2:22:54
  wants. I mean, your thoughts, you mean.
• 2:22:57
  Well, the game's in San Jose. It's not really in San Fran.
• 2:23:00
  Well, yeah, I guess you're. Right.
• 2:23:02
  I mean, well, whatever you want to put it, whatever you want.
• 2:23:04
  To slice it and dice it, but you think they think they're going
• 2:23:07
  to be flipping things to see who gets the workout at the San
• 2:23:09
  Francisco facility. Oh well.
• 2:23:12
  Probably all the you know with the substation radiation.
• 2:23:15
  Poisoning, yeah. All.
• 2:23:17
  That stuff. Yeah, we're going there.
• 2:23:18
  Thank you. Thank you.
• 2:23:19
  We're heading. There for the old.
• 2:23:21
  Super Bowl and we're going. To have to deal with that
• 2:23:23
  ourselves. So you may want to, you know,
• 2:23:26
  get a or two of blood taken out before you go out there.
• 2:23:28
  Oh, thank you. Thank you, Pete for making me
• 2:23:30
  feel very good about myself and heading out to San Francisco.
• 2:23:34
  Where the the dust is glooming and the vampires might be well,
• 2:23:38
  you're going to the Super Bowl. We probably are.
• 2:23:40
  We're we're, we're going to do radio row again.
• 2:23:42
  I'm not going probably. Yeah, we're we're.
• 2:23:45
  We're waiting on verifications. We're waiting for verification.
• 2:23:48
  Verifications. Because verifications.
• 2:23:50
  Don't come out until like 2. Weeks before the Super Bowl, I
• 2:23:53
  got you. Which is absolutely pathetic.
• 2:23:55
  The NFL needs to stop, stop doing this because I'm not going
• 2:23:58
  unless we're doing Radio Row and last year, I'm not doing what we
• 2:24:01
  did last year. I didn't like the way.
• 2:24:04
  Here's the thing with the NFL, and I don't disrespect anything
• 2:24:08
  that they've done building a product as good as it is.
• 2:24:11
  What I hate about the NFL is you put people at Radio Row that
• 2:24:15
  don't belong there. You have college kids that don't
• 2:24:18
  belong there. They're eating, they're doing,
• 2:24:21
  and then they're sitting at this table.
• 2:24:22
  They're not even doing anything. They're not interviewing,
• 2:24:24
  they're not doing anything. Nobody cares what they have to
• 2:24:26
  say. And we are a top 200 show in the
• 2:24:30
  country. We are better than half the
• 2:24:33
  show. We're better than every single
• 2:24:34
  show at Radio Row. And we're just so, you know,
• 2:24:38
  Pete, when we were at Radio Row the last day that we were
• 2:24:40
  jumping table to table just to get our interviews, everybody
• 2:24:43
  wanted to be interviewed by us. Everybody, everybody came to our
• 2:24:47
  table. There were people from other
• 2:24:48
  tables wanting to watch the interviews that we were giving
• 2:24:51
  because we were so outlandishly crazy.
• 2:24:53
  We didn't even they're they were amazed how I would get out
• 2:24:57
  questions not knowing who I was interviewing.
• 2:24:59
  You know how they come up to you and they say, well, you're
• 2:25:01
  interviewing this guy at this time, so you have to get your I
• 2:25:03
  don't it was like right off the ball.
• 2:25:05
  You know what? Just just skip and go to the
• 2:25:07
  combine. All you got the combine the
• 2:25:11
  combine. Radio row is fantastic, you got
• 2:25:13
  plenty of room. You can stretch out.
• 2:25:14
  You got all the, you know. Let's go.
• 2:25:16
  All the all the guys on the other side of the of the
• 2:25:18
  curtain. You can go over there.
• 2:25:19
  Interview players. Yeah, I think Pete, let's go.
• 2:25:22
  Let's get into that, Pete. No, no.
• 2:25:24
  Let's do it together, man. I'll be there.
• 2:25:25
  Let's do it. Let's work.
• 2:25:27
  Let's do it. It's a good bit.
• 2:25:28
  Let's do it. If you're going to.
• 2:25:30
  Be there, Let's let's college kids eating chips.
• 2:25:32
  You know none of that. You don't.
• 2:25:33
  Have to deal. With any of that stuff, no, no
• 2:25:34
  Chips Ahoy or any of. That stuff.
• 2:25:36
  I like those cookies by the way. I like to dip them in a nice.
• 2:25:39
  Cup of milk, if you know what I mean.
• 2:25:41
  You know, a little slice, a little dice and pop it in the
• 2:25:44
  mouth, as Speedy loves to do himself, right, Speedy.
• 2:25:47
  Yes, I do like cookies, but I prefer other types of cookies
• 2:25:50
  over that. And other sausages.
• 2:25:51
  Yeah, other. Sausages.
• 2:25:52
  I'm going to say you, Eddie, I would caution you to.
• 2:25:56
  Agreeing with anything that guy say.
• 2:25:58
  I'm aware I'm. Aware of that I've I've been
• 2:26:01
  following for any of his. Vague.
• 2:26:02
  Terms, as he likes to put it, I've I've followed for enough of
• 2:26:07
  his traps. Well, you know I.
• 2:26:09
  You know I throw. I throw a leash like Nathan
• 2:26:12
  would. Say And I'm hoping that it
• 2:26:14
  connects hopefully not to the wrong people.
• 2:26:17
  So I get arrested. You don't know Nathan, but
• 2:26:21
  Nathan likes to tie leashes to. Women.
• 2:26:23
  I don't. Know.
• 2:26:25
  He likes to put him on a leash. Here.
• 2:26:27
  I got a take for you. I'm putting you on a leash now.
• 2:26:29
  Breaking news, a lot of hot ladies.
• 2:26:31
  Breaking news. I got to go.
• 2:26:33
  Back off now. Breaking.
• 2:26:34
  News Do you want to jerk me off? The.
• 2:26:41
  Soundboard is a lot more well put together since the last time
• 2:26:45
  you were on the show. Breaking news.
• 2:26:47
  Smell my ass. Breaking news story.
• 2:26:51
  Well, this we, we, we're out. We're we're a little late.
• 2:26:54
  Now it's. Over 10:00 so you.
• 2:26:56
  Know the kiddies are out to bed. I like to have a little fun.
• 2:27:00
  You know, we like to enjoy our guests and we like to let our
• 2:27:05
  guests understand that we're not like every other show.
• 2:27:08
  We, we throw curve balls and we make sure that it sticks and
• 2:27:11
  hopefully it's not a dartboard and, and if it is, it's going to
• 2:27:15
  be bullseye. But Speaking of bullseyes, I
• 2:27:19
  know I didn't give Speedy a chance to ask you a question,
• 2:27:21
  but here is a good question for you.
• 2:27:23
  Mike McDaniel, the announcement he is heading to the Chargers.
• 2:27:28
  What do you think that does for the Chargers in a new season
• 2:27:32
  with a healthy Slater, a healthy Alt, a healthy Johnson, McKay,
• 2:27:37
  Becton and Justin Herbert and Jimmy H Jim Harbaugh, with Mike
• 2:27:43
  McDaniel calling the place? I think, I think that'll be
• 2:27:48
  that'll be good for him, very good for him.
• 2:27:52
  You know, Herbert, Herbert's, Herbert's impressive.
• 2:27:55
  He, I think what's most impressive, at least until he
• 2:27:59
  gets to the playoffs, is just how he doesn't turn the ball
• 2:28:02
  over very much. Same thing I think Caleb, Caleb
• 2:28:04
  Williams throughout the year did a very, very good job of and
• 2:28:10
  you're going to get a lot more creativity, a lot more energy
• 2:28:14
  with that offense now. And so that you know, everyone,
• 2:28:19
  it's like, it's like back and when they went back a year or
• 2:28:23
  two ago, everyone was saying I did the Chargers just going to
• 2:28:26
  be running the football, running the football.
• 2:28:28
  You know, it's Harbaugh's way. Well, you know, now you now
• 2:28:31
  you've got now you have a number of different things that you're
• 2:28:35
  going to do. And for, you know, for Daniels,
• 2:28:37
  I think it's it'll be refreshing for him, I think just to be a
• 2:28:41
  coordinator instead of having to take care of everything.
• 2:28:44
  His paychecks obviously going to be smaller.
• 2:28:46
  Well, it depends on if you have any time left on his contract
• 2:28:49
  and then still get paid, but he'll be responsible for a lot
• 2:28:52
  less. So I think that's going to be, I
• 2:28:54
  think that's a good move. For the.
• 2:28:55
  Chargers. I really do.
• 2:28:57
  I think that's can help open up that offense quite a bit.
• 2:29:00
  So 2 coaches you're from, you're familiar with Brian Flores,
• 2:29:02
  obviously the current defensive coordinator with the Vikings and
• 2:29:04
  then Kevin Stefanski, who? Used to be with the Vikings
• 2:29:06
  before you got the Browns job and now back with Kirk Cousins
• 2:29:09
  in Atlanta. What are your thoughts to 1st
• 2:29:11
  Kirk Cousins in Atlanta that fit Stefanski with that fit because
• 2:29:15
  he'll have to play a lot of the year and then Brian Flores, does
• 2:29:17
  he get a head coaching job and where do you like him?
• 2:29:19
  It'll be interesting to see what happens, you know, with with
• 2:29:23
  Stefanski down in Atlanta. I.
• 2:29:24
  Know Baker Mayfield's already taking a few shots at him.
• 2:29:28
  You know that that division needs some spicing up right that
• 2:29:32
  the the Falcons Buccaneers game need some spicing up.
• 2:29:36
  So Mayfield decided all right, I'm going to take a few shots at
• 2:29:39
  coach and you know we're going to we're going to see if we can
• 2:29:41
  get us slotted for the first Monday night game right there.
• 2:29:45
  I think they're trying to ramp up viewership in that regard.
• 2:29:48
  Kirk cousins. It's one of those things where
• 2:29:51
  when we had Kirk Cousins, a lot of people complained because
• 2:29:54
  there was just certain things that he do.
• 2:29:56
  He was he didn't scramble. He was in the pocket.
• 2:29:58
  Sometimes look brilliant, other times not so much.
• 2:30:01
  Could protect, you know, the protection was tough because
• 2:30:04
  defenses know where the quarterback is going to be.
• 2:30:07
  He's going to be in the pocket. And as everyone's complaining
• 2:30:14
  about Cousins, in the back of your mind, you're kind of.
• 2:30:16
  Letting them know hey, it can get a hell.
• 2:30:18
  Of a lot worse OK I mean no one you know everybody's upset about
• 2:30:21
  cousins and what not but it could get a lot worse and in a
• 2:30:24
  in a lot of ways I think it has I mean Darnold bailed us out
• 2:30:28
  last year and now we're we're finally seeing what it's like to
• 2:30:31
  develop a young quarterback. It's not fun and it takes a long
• 2:30:34
  time and you know, for Cousins to come back.
• 2:30:41
  You know, I don't know. I mean it he was already, I
• 2:30:45
  think on the decline physically, as you know, as you just as we
• 2:30:50
  let him go. So, you know, a couple years
• 2:30:53
  later and Achilles tear later and it's I I think he's on that
• 2:30:59
  list for the Vikings. I don't think he's.
• 2:31:01
  Priority number one, but I think.
• 2:31:02
  He might be a name that they wouldn't mind having back at
• 2:31:07
  obviously a lot lower pay scale than when we were paying him
• 2:31:10
  before. But you know, it's ultimately
• 2:31:13
  for ultimately, I believe Stefanski's decision now, right,
• 2:31:16
  Whether or not they want to keep them or move or move on from
• 2:31:19
  them. So, you know, who knows?
• 2:31:23
  I mean, Kevin's just got to go somewhere.
• 2:31:25
  Where? There's not a lot of
• 2:31:26
  quarterback. Controversy you just can't seem
• 2:31:28
  to get. Can't.
• 2:31:29
  Seem to get out of the way. He doesn't know how to we deal
• 2:31:31
  with any with any of that. Holy cow, he doesn't know how to
• 2:31:34
  develop them. We are talking.
• 2:31:36
  To former. Vikings linebacker and current
• 2:31:38
  Vikings. Radio broadcast our friend Pete
• 2:31:40
  Persik. He's drinking an energy drink.
• 2:31:42
  It looks like he's trying to keep the speed up because he's
• 2:31:47
  about to fall asleep. There it is, monster.
• 2:31:49
  If you want to have a heart attack, you can fart it.
• 2:31:53
  I farted. Fart your way out drinking some
• 2:31:55
  monster, ladies and gentlemen, as Nathan would say.
• 2:31:58
  I farted. Or I want her melons.
• 2:32:01
  You can get her melons too. If you want a monster, you can
• 2:32:03
  get his melons and her. Melons and everybody else's
• 2:32:05
  melons. Bagel hole, Bagel hole.
• 2:32:07
  Anyways, before we let you go man, because I know you're busy.
• 2:32:12
  And. I like I said, we'll swap.
• 2:32:14
  Not really. That's good.
• 2:32:15
  All right. Maybe he's prepping his ping
• 2:32:17
  pong trash talking. That's true.
• 2:32:19
  I mean, we could. Trash talk anytime you want,
• 2:32:21
  Pete. I mean, I, well, you know one
• 2:32:23
  thing. Just to if I, if you don't mind
• 2:32:26
  if I jump in, go ahead. I started my I started a YouTube
• 2:32:29
  channel. Oh, OK.
• 2:32:30
  It's called Eye in the sky. It's.
• 2:32:32
  At. Pete versus 56 and I do a lot of
• 2:32:37
  I do the the film breakdowns, but I do them taking my time
• 2:32:43
  talking to the talking to the viewer, talking about matchups
• 2:32:47
  throughout the season. But a lot of it's just pure, you
• 2:32:49
  know, just plain old football. One of the videos like this when
• 2:32:53
  I got up here, Dallas Turner and his his growth and progress,
• 2:32:56
  what he's doing better. It's really, it's just something
• 2:33:00
  I enjoy just kind of teaching the game to fans because I think
• 2:33:06
  the game is a lot more compelling when you understand
• 2:33:09
  what's going on out there. The more you understand about
• 2:33:11
  what's going on out there, the more fun it is to watch these
• 2:33:15
  games instead of having to bet money on them and all that to
• 2:33:18
  make them interesting. You can, once you learn enough
• 2:33:20
  about them and it's that's kind of that's kind of life, right?
• 2:33:24
  The more you let you try to learn something every day.
• 2:33:26
  I'm still trying to learn the game, but I get to sit down and
• 2:33:29
  share that with the fans, mostly Viking fans, but there's all
• 2:33:32
  other, you know, there's all kinds of stuff on there.
• 2:33:34
  Well, you're great. I just hate you too because the
• 2:33:38
  the algorithms and the change it.
• 2:33:39
  To transition it just yeah, I, yeah, it's like it's one of
• 2:33:43
  those things where I'm doing this just to get it out just to
• 2:33:46
  just to. Put it out there.
• 2:33:47
  Yeah, I got it. And it's like with the
• 2:33:48
  algorithm. Yeah, I understand that.
• 2:33:51
  It's there's a game within a game, right?
• 2:33:54
  You're a game within a game. And Pete, your brain is a game
• 2:33:57
  within a game. I mean your voice.
• 2:33:59
  Your perception, your thoughts, your personality, everything
• 2:34:04
  about you we love. I got to see about that.
• 2:34:06
  I do. I I do.
• 2:34:07
  I love you. You're one of my favorite
• 2:34:09
  guests. You know I'm I should have.
• 2:34:11
  I should. Have had my guitar all hooked up
• 2:34:13
  for you. Yeah, that would be good.
• 2:34:15
  I mean, play some, play some, you know?
• 2:34:18
  Slayer, Metallica. That's what I'm.
• 2:34:20
  Talking about. For Whom the Bell Tolls.
• 2:34:23
  Donut. Donut Dong.
• 2:34:26
  Yeah, I I would. I used to.
• 2:34:30
  I used to cover. A lot of bands, man, I was.
• 2:34:31
  A drummer, as you know. But really, yeah, I was a
• 2:34:36
  drummer. Battle of the Bands.
• 2:34:37
  I I drummed for a group called Taylon.
• 2:34:39
  I actually sang backup. I actually had a decent voice
• 2:34:43
  when I was younger. Let's let's, let's, let's see
• 2:34:46
  top three drummers go, man. The guy, the guy from Dream
• 2:34:50
  Theater is definitely one of them.
• 2:34:57
  I OK Dave Matthews Band lead drum.
• 2:35:01
  Drummer, he he's. Fantastic.
• 2:35:04
  And Motörhead, the motor the the drummer from or left or left Def
• 2:35:11
  Leppard, the drummer from Def Leppard with the one arm.
• 2:35:14
  Yeah, yeah, I like him too. I like him too.
• 2:35:16
  Can't remember the names, right? No.
• 2:35:18
  Not a wrestling match, but. I, I I I I'm not an arm.
• 2:35:22
  Wrestler, I'm more of a. Mercy.
• 2:35:23
  He's a, he's an electronic drum guy.
• 2:35:25
  Yes, I was waiting. I was waiting to hear some Neil
• 2:35:28
  Perch. Some John Bonham, Yeah.
• 2:35:30
  Listen, listen. Something like that.
• 2:35:32
  I. Can't remember names right now
• 2:35:33
  because my my head is spinning I.
• 2:35:35
  Mean, I drove almost, I would say in the last five days, I
• 2:35:40
  drove about 20 something hours. I mean, it's it's enough for me.
• 2:35:43
  I'm a little tired, you know? He'll do it to you.
• 2:35:46
  Yeah. But I I try to give him a live,
• 2:35:48
  you know, personality. By the way, one of our fans
• 2:35:50
  wanted me to ask you this question.
• 2:35:53
  O'Connell. Is he on the hot seat?
• 2:35:55
  More so, yeah, it'll be more so than then before his.
• 2:36:00
  Relationship with, I think this draft is going to be very
• 2:36:03
  important for both he and Koici Doflomenza because we have some
• 2:36:07
  draft equity. We haven't had a ton of it in
• 2:36:08
  the last couple of years. So we have some holes to fill.
• 2:36:14
  So for Kevin O'Connell, yeah. And then this is if you look at
• 2:36:19
  if you look at his record, it's been, you know, double digit
• 2:36:23
  wins missed the playoffs, double digit wins missed the playoffs.
• 2:36:27
  And so for him, it starts quarterback position developing
• 2:36:31
  JJ McCarthy. But you got to have Plan B
• 2:36:33
  because we talked about earlier, he's played 10 out of 35 games.
• 2:36:36
  You can't just all of a sudden go into the season like you did
• 2:36:40
  this year and not have much in the way of a backup plan.
• 2:36:44
  That's the probably the first thing that they're going to
• 2:36:46
  correct or at least deal with. And then for him, for Kevin
• 2:36:49
  O'Connell, you know, keeping Brian Flores around is, is going
• 2:36:54
  to be huge. Brian Flores will probably end
• 2:36:56
  up in Pittsburgh if he's going to go somewhere.
• 2:36:58
  I, I, I love the guy. You hear players complain he's
• 2:37:03
  too this, he's too tough. It's like they're, they're just
• 2:37:05
  whining. I mean, I've been around him
• 2:37:07
  enough. He's, he is a very, very good
• 2:37:12
  dude. I mean, just, he's a, he's a,
• 2:37:14
  he's a good guy. Loves talking football, talk
• 2:37:16
  football with anybody all day long.
• 2:37:20
  And he's just got to find himself a good offensive
• 2:37:23
  coordinator. And then and then away, away you
• 2:37:25
  go and he gets more. We had a top three defense.
• 2:37:28
  Now we, you know, we played some teams toward the end of the
• 2:37:31
  season. I think that helped.
• 2:37:34
  But you end up with the top three defense and, you know, you
• 2:37:37
  look at that defensive roster and you're kind of like, you
• 2:37:40
  know, Andrew Van Ginkel, you know, it's, it's who do you?
• 2:37:46
  There are no huge names. We don't have any perennial Pro
• 2:37:49
  Bowl players on this defenses. His scheme is just so different.
• 2:37:52
  He's just so aggressive that a lot of you know, it's, it's a
• 2:37:57
  problem for teams, especially young quarterbacks to deal with
• 2:38:01
  all the things that he'll throw at you.
• 2:38:04
  So now the whole lawsuit with the league and, and all the off
• 2:38:07
  the field stuff, it's just, you know, it's just going to be a
• 2:38:11
  matter of 1 of it just takes 1 owner to step up and step out of
• 2:38:14
  line with the rest of that group and say, you know what, I'm
• 2:38:17
  going to take a chance on this guy.
• 2:38:18
  And, and here we go again. So but for Kevin O'Connell,
• 2:38:23
  getting Brian Flores back is going to be the biggest thing to
• 2:38:27
  getting him back to double digit wins and playoffs for the
• 2:38:32
  Vikings next year. Pete, we love you man.
• 2:38:35
  And I want you to. I'll have speedy reach.

• 2:39:45
  What it when you're GM that's that's what it's it's all about
• 2:39:48
  the what abouts and what ifs and and second guessing.
• 2:39:51
  I mean that's the that's the pretend GM loves loves the
• 2:39:55
  draft. But yeah, Rick's gonna Rick's
• 2:39:58
  out there helping out and I hope that I hope things can change.

• 2:40:11
  Thank you, Pete. Pete Persic, ladies and
• 2:40:14
  gentlemen, we love him #1 as he puts up the number one, he's
• 2:40:19
  number one, we love him number one in my heart and #1 hated Jet
• 2:40:24
  Fan. So there you go.
• 2:40:26
  Thank you, Pete. All right, we'll see you.
• 2:40:29
  I love him. Absolutely great.
• 2:40:31
  One of the best. Personalities.
• 2:40:33
  And. I saw Jabba.
• 2:40:34
  Pop out. I think he just.
• 2:40:36
  Wanted to leave it up to us to get that interview out.
• 2:40:38
  We'll get Jabba back in because we have the speedy stat of the
• 2:40:43
  week. The speedy?
• 2:40:47
  Well, you may run like me. But you hit.
• 2:40:50
  Like stat. Of the week.
• 2:40:54
  All right, so we've hinted at it a lot.
• 2:40:55
  It's a lot of stuff to do with this.
• 2:40:57
  Insane. Caleb Williams.
• 2:40:58
  Throw that we've seen pretty much all all throughout the
• 2:41:02
  show. This is how rare it was for him
• 2:41:04
  to be able to pull this kind of thing off.
• 2:41:07
  So 26.5 yards behind the line of scrimmage he was which broke the
• 2:41:12
  previous record in the Next Gen. Stats era which is 2015 on of 22
• 2:41:16
  yards behind the line of scrimmage which was done by Josh
• 2:41:19
  Allen. 51.2 air yards on that throw and a 17.8% completion
• 2:41:25
  probability for Caleb Williams on that insane just insane 4th
• 2:41:30
  down touchdown. That will be one of the best
• 2:41:32
  plays ever in a playoff loss unfortunately for the Bears
• 2:41:36
  sake. But look how far back he is.
• 2:41:38
  It's just miracle workers and just how insane it was is
• 2:41:44
  defined in those steps. No question.
• 2:41:47
  The one and only Caleb Williams did what he needed to.
• 2:41:50
  Do and he was sensational. We love you, Kay.
• 2:41:53
  I mean see or whatever the hell you want to go and look at his
• 2:41:56
  strong well, look at his beauty. Look at this boom right there in
• 2:41:59
  the hands of Cole. Commit.
• 2:42:01
  Beautiful. Speaking of in the hands, the
• 2:42:04
  NFL Network reports that the Bills have fired the one and
• 2:42:08
  only head coach Sean McDermott after nine seasons in Buffalo.
• 2:42:12
  NFL insider Jonathan Jones reports that the Bills can't
• 2:42:15
  interview any coaches from remaining playoff teams until
• 2:42:20
  they get eliminated, but can schedule interviews with anybody
• 2:42:23
  else. Bills offensive coordinator Joe
• 2:42:26
  Brady could be likely a candidate to replace McDermott,
• 2:42:30
  but he also has an interview scheduled with the Ravens,
• 2:42:33
  Raiders and Cardinals as well. Mike McDaniel could also, yes,
• 2:42:37
  so, but he just signed, so I'm not going to say that I'm going
• 2:42:41
  to skip that. NFL Network reports that the
• 2:42:44
  Falcons have named Kevin Stefanski as their next head
• 2:42:49
  coach a week after naming Matt Ryan their president of football
• 2:42:54
  operations. The Miami Dolphins have named
• 2:42:58
  Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Haffley right am I right as
• 2:43:03
  their next head coach, their 8th consecutive head coach with no
• 2:43:08
  previous head coaching experience.
• 2:43:10
  The Tennessee Titans have hired former Jets head coach Robber
• 2:43:14
  AKA Salah Bambi as their next head coach less than two years
• 2:43:20
  after being fired by the New York Jets.
• 2:43:25
  Well, ladies and gentlemen, I am not surprised about Sean
• 2:43:28
  McDermott getting fired. I'm not.
• 2:43:31
  I've, I've said this over and over and over again.
• 2:43:35
  Sean McDermott was really hanging on a thread.
• 2:43:40
  And after that loss against the Broncos and losing against a
• 2:43:44
  young quarterback in Bo Nicks after Lamar Jackson, Bo, you
• 2:43:49
  know, I'm sorry, I forgot the names.
• 2:43:51
  Lamar Jackson, Patrick Mahomes and Joe Burrow is out of the
• 2:43:56
  playoffs. You would have thought that Josh
• 2:43:58
  Allen would have his easiest path to a Super Bowl and failed
• 2:44:02
  to do that. McDermott is a great defensive
• 2:44:04
  mind. There's no question they have
• 2:44:05
  one of the best pass rushes, pass rushes in the league.
• 2:44:08
  But failure to win and get this team into the Super Bowl with
• 2:44:12
  Josh Allen at the prime of his career is going to make that
• 2:44:15
  happen. As far as coaching candidates,
• 2:44:21
  you would think that Joe Brady would take this job if he's
• 2:44:24
  going to get offered this. Why would you want to go to the
• 2:44:27
  Raiders? Why would you want to go to the
• 2:44:28
  Cardinals, the Ravens? Interesting thought.
• 2:44:31
  I, I think the the better pick would be the Bills.
• 2:44:33
  You know, the quarterback, you know the offense.
• 2:44:36
  It would make a lot of sense for Joe Brady to stay there and take
• 2:44:38
  over this team and get his first head coaching job.
• 2:44:41
  I just don't know if I would go that route.
• 2:44:43
  Mike McCarthy's the guy that I would go with, with Josh Alley.
• 2:44:47
  If you want to get over the hump, you want to get to a Super
• 2:44:50
  Bowl, Mike McCarthy is the guy. I think that this team is
• 2:44:53
  lacking leadership and I think Mike McCarthy has the ability to
• 2:44:57
  give that leadership a chance. And, and the reason why I took
• 2:45:00
  out Mike McDaniel because he signed obviously with the
• 2:45:04
  Chargers as Tommy Poops gave us that announcement with the old
• 2:45:07
  NIF so and the Atlanta Falcons signing Stefanski, wonderful,
• 2:45:12
  wonderful signing. The question is, can he develop
• 2:45:15
  a quarterback in Michael Pennings when he comes back?
• 2:45:18
  He's had a problem doing that over there with the Browns.
• 2:45:21
  The guy is 1 coach of the year back-to-back time.
• 2:45:23
  Well, not back-to-back but within I think 2:00 in the
• 2:45:26
  amount of four years he has been one of the elite coaches in the
• 2:45:29
  NFL. Very surprised the Browns fired
• 2:45:32
  him, but taking the Atlanta Falcons job, he's got a lot of
• 2:45:36
  weapons over there. If they bring Kyle Pitts back,
• 2:45:39
  London, I obviously Bijon Robertson, they have weapons off
• 2:45:43
  on offensive line that play very well.
• 2:45:45
  A good young defense now with a great secondary.
• 2:45:48
  I think he's stacked. I think he has ability to
• 2:45:49
  automatically win that division this year.
• 2:45:52
  He's much better than Raheem Morris.
• 2:45:55
  There's no question that he is. Raheem Morris will never get a
• 2:45:57
  coaching job again in the NFL. No offense, Raheem, you know,
• 2:46:01
  obviously a Long Island guy, you know, played for Hofstra, not a
• 2:46:05
  guy that I would hire as a coach ever again.
• 2:46:07
  Miami hiring this guy, Jeff Hasley, don't know much about
• 2:46:11
  him. What I do know is he comes from
• 2:46:13
  the Packers organization. He is the the defensive
• 2:46:15
  coordinator. I don't know if this is slam
• 2:46:17
  dunk. I don't know if this is a double
• 2:46:20
  or a a single or a triple. Might be a strike out.
• 2:46:23
  I don't know. But the Dolphins have been known
• 2:46:26
  to make those mistakes. And why would you fire Mike
• 2:46:29
  McDaniel to bring in another rookie coach when you had a
• 2:46:32
  winning coach over there in Miami who was a game changing
• 2:46:35
  type of coach? So it makes no sense.
• 2:46:37
  And now, ladies and gentlemen, I saved the best for last, because
• 2:46:41
  there is no way in. Hell.
• 2:46:44
  An organization would go this route and bring Bambi Sala in
• 2:46:49
  after the debacle he left over there in New York.
• 2:46:53
  Hard Knocks, all the mistakes that he made, all gas, no break
• 2:46:56
  and all this other garbage that he had.
• 2:46:58
  And I have a story coming up and going up on the Worldwide Sports
• 2:47:01
  Radio Network. I'm telling you, it's a must
• 2:47:03
  read. It will be up tomorrow.
• 2:47:04
  It's funny. It's definitely a draw and you
• 2:47:07
  fans will love it. This guy is an absolute joke.
• 2:47:10
  I feel bad for Cam Ward. I feel bad for him that he has
• 2:47:14
  to take on this idiot of a head coach.
• 2:47:17
  This guy has been gone. He took over as a defensive
• 2:47:19
  coordinator over there with San Francisco.
• 2:47:21
  He was over there filling in as an offensive coach with the
• 2:47:24
  Packers last year. How did that help?
• 2:47:27
  I mean, and then he goes over to San Francisco, had a good year
• 2:47:29
  and then goes into a playoff run where he lose and gets his not
• 2:47:33
  his his butt blocked right off or knocked off by 41 to 6
• 2:47:38
  against a team in Seattle that just completely pulverized him
• 2:47:42
  as a defensive coordinator. And then you sign him.
• 2:47:44
  Then you give him a five year deal to have the run of your
• 2:47:47
  organization. This makes no sense.
• 2:47:49
  You bring it. You have a young quarterback
• 2:47:51
  that needs to learn how to be developed.
• 2:47:52
  Robert Sala has not made the right choices and go ask Michael
• 2:47:55
  Floor how well, why do you think they gave him five years and
• 2:47:58
  then keep it shorter. I'll tell you why Cam for.
• 2:48:01
  Five years you're going to see if Cam Ward is worth.
• 2:48:04
  That fifth year option and if if Robert Sala fails to get this
• 2:48:08
  kid that extra contract, Karen Ward will be gone with Robert
• 2:48:12
  Sala. He is signing his ass over there
• 2:48:15
  with Cam. That's what he did and he took,
• 2:48:18
  he took on a big responsibility. He had his quarterback.
• 2:48:21
  He had his quarterback of choice.
• 2:48:22
  And Zach Wilson, how long did that last before he was screwing
• 2:48:25
  somebody else's mom or somebody else's mother's girlfriend?
• 2:48:29
  I, I don't know. I and Roberts all had no
• 2:48:31
  control. He's telling people private
• 2:48:33
  information that was going on after games to broadcasters here
• 2:48:37
  in New York. This, this is a guy that doesn't
• 2:48:39
  know how to keep a secret. He was the one that a lot of
• 2:48:41
  people was believe was squealing to the press on what was going
• 2:48:44
  on in the locker room. When it was going on with him
• 2:48:46
  and Garrett Wilson in Aaron Rodgers, who do you think was
• 2:48:49
  opening his mouth and giving all the feedback?
• 2:48:52
  It was Robert Solid. And now you have Cam Ward, who I
• 2:48:54
  I've come to respect. I think the kid is a tremendous
• 2:48:57
  amount of talent. He's going to fail because this
• 2:49:00
  guy doesn't know how to pick the right offensive coordinator.
• 2:49:02
  Go ask Mike Lafleur. He's doing wonders over there
• 2:49:05
  working with, you know, Sean McVay.
• 2:49:07
  Isn't he pretty successful over there as what is offensive
• 2:49:10
  coordinator? Pretty damn good.
• 2:49:12
  Pretty much a puppet. Yeah, but still pretty damn
• 2:49:14
  good. It doesn't matter if he's a
• 2:49:15
  puppet. He's definitely not Robert
• 2:49:17
  Soller. Kate Bambis fucking puppet.
• 2:49:19
  I mean seriously, this is pathetic.
• 2:49:22
  Absolutely pathetic. The Titans made a big mistake.
• 2:49:24
  Out of all the guys you can interview all the guys.
• 2:49:26
  John Harbaugh was interested in this job and you're going to
• 2:49:29
  hire Robert Sala after John Horrible decided to take the
• 2:49:32
  Giants job? What a joke.
• 2:49:35
  Reach out to Sean McDermott, Mike McCarthy, any one of those
• 2:49:38
  guys would have been better. Brian Flores would have been
• 2:49:40
  better than this idiot. I mean, a Jackass who can't do
• 2:49:44
  anything right. He is an absolute joke and he
• 2:49:48
  made everybody here in New York think that this guy was getting
• 2:49:51
  picked on when the guy was an absolute idiot.
• 2:49:54
  He didn't know how to run an organization.
• 2:49:56
  He didn't know how to control personalities in a locker room
• 2:49:58
  and he died. Definitely does not know how to
• 2:50:01
  coach a whole football team. What an absolute joke.
• 2:50:05
  An offseason of absolute shattering moves for the
• 2:50:09
  Tennessee Titans. With all the draft stack they
• 2:50:10
  have and all the money they have.
• 2:50:12
  They could shove it up their ass because Robert Saul is going to
• 2:50:14
  screw this one up. Yeah, I was mentioning at the
• 2:50:16
  beginning when we were talking about Black Monday and these
• 2:50:18
  coaching trends. We've seen a lot of these teams.
• 2:50:20
  With younger quarterbacks or teams that have longer playoff
• 2:50:23
  drafts with younger rosters, go after these veteran coaches for
• 2:50:26
  a sense of stability. I mentioned the Broncos is the
• 2:50:28
  perfect example. That was Sean Payton.
• 2:50:30
  Sean Payton it seemed like forever, especially after they
• 2:50:33
  tried to get Russell Wilson and that failed.
• 2:50:35
  The Broncos after Peyton Manning retired were good roster that
• 2:50:38
  didn't have a quarterback for a while.
• 2:50:39
  Then Russell Wilson actually has a decent year with Sean Payton.
• 2:50:41
  But again they the situation with him wanting to get benched
• 2:50:45
  and not all that stuff with the whole buyout of this contract
• 2:50:47
  and they bring in Bonex and they make the playoffs 2 years in a
• 2:50:49
  row. Now they're in an AFC
• 2:50:50
  championship game. I see the Chargers with Jim
• 2:50:53
  Harbaugh going after, they're replacing Brandon Staley.
• 2:50:55
  Justin Herbert's a young quarterback.
• 2:50:56
  Now all of a sudden they're 2 years a row in the playoffs.
• 2:50:59
  This is the opposite direction that the Titans should be going
• 2:51:02
  in. I'm not saying never hire a
• 2:51:03
  defensive coach. I'm, I know Fish was saying that
• 2:51:05
  in the past like you should stay away from defensive coaches, but
• 2:51:08
  I, I don't, I don't really have that kind of angle.
• 2:51:11
  Brian Flores is a much better pick for a culture stabilizer.
• 2:51:14
  If you want a flashy offensive, there's enough flashy young
• 2:51:17
  offensive guys out there, go go get a Kubiak.
• 2:51:19
  Even the Kubiak on the 49ers, the clay, go get him.
• 2:51:23
  If you want a young quarterback developer, maybe the Titans
• 2:51:25
  didn't wanted that because of Brian Callahan's failures.
• 2:51:27
  But then go get a veteran guy. Go get Mike McCarthy like he's a
• 2:51:30
  quarterback developer. This was awful on so many
• 2:51:33
  levels. I don't I can't imagine this.
• 2:51:35
  How did he sell him himself? He's just that good of an
• 2:51:38
  interviewer apparently. Obviously is Mike.
• 2:51:40
  McCarthy is a terrible interviewer because he hasn't.
• 2:51:42
  Gotten a job in two years and. This idiot who you can't even
• 2:51:46
  understand, you can't even understand how he speaks.
• 2:51:49
  He's taking receipts and he's going to be taking receipts over
• 2:51:52
  there because there's a lot of receipts that are not going to
• 2:51:54
  be able to be cashed over there after he fails.
• 2:51:57
  And you would think it's AGM. That comes from the Chiefs
• 2:51:59
  organization too. You would think, Jabba, you're
• 2:52:01
  muted. You will be.
• 2:52:02
  Able to learn from that kind of thing too.
• 2:52:06
  But do you think too some of these moves they they get guys
• 2:52:10
  based? On what they have on the field,
• 2:52:12
  like you talk about, you know bringing guys in established or
• 2:52:16
  whatever. Do do you think when they make
• 2:52:18
  these decisions they look at what they have to bring like an
• 2:52:23
  old head in that's been in the game or like get another like
• 2:52:26
  younger energy guy that they have but who is that for Robert
• 2:52:30
  Sala. Robert Sala is neither of those
• 2:52:31
  things. Well, yeah, and and, but that's.
• 2:52:34
  Where did where do they look at that when they bring somebody in
• 2:52:37
  like as? We touched on with Harbaugh and
• 2:52:39
  and what people think is going to happen.
• 2:52:42
  Do they look at is can he control a clubhouse?
• 2:52:45
  Can he control a locker room, whatever you want to call it?
• 2:52:48
  Can he manage his coordinators? He's a puppet, which we haven't
• 2:52:52
  seen what and is. Is that what they do as well?
• 2:52:55
  Do. They look at it from top to
• 2:52:57
  bottom and it's like, you know what, we can control him and
• 2:53:00
  kind of what we want to do and just and, and he's just a piece
• 2:53:03
  in the puzzle where he he's not the queen that can do everything
• 2:53:07
  or the king. That is the end of all.
• 2:53:09
  You said it. You, you right there, choppy
• 2:53:12
  you, you gave it. You hit the nail on the coffin.
• 2:53:15
  And it's a coffin and it's going to be 6 feet under by the time
• 2:53:19
  Robert Sala touches it. I, I mean, this guy is an
• 2:53:23
  absolute joke and if you're a Titan fan, I feel bad for you
• 2:53:27
  guys because I've seen enough of Robert Sala to make you want to
• 2:53:31
  barf. And this guy does know out does
• 2:53:33
  not know how to speak to the press.
• 2:53:35
  He doesn't how he beats around the Bush.
• 2:53:37
  He doesn't know how to protect players.
• 2:53:39
  He throws players onto the bus offset of talking to people to
• 2:53:43
  the media when he shouldn't be speaking to the media.
• 2:53:46
  When the team tells him to stay away from the media, he goes out
• 2:53:50
  there and and reports things to me.
• 2:53:52
  The guy's an idiot. He's not he's not a fit.
• 2:53:54
  I'm telling you he's not a fit. It's going to be a a big smack
• 2:53:57
  in the face and unfortunately the Titans are going to regret
• 2:54:00
  it. Cam Ward's going to regret it.
• 2:54:02
  I feel bad for the kid yeah. Shifting to the other three
• 2:54:05
  moves, though, happily with the Dolphins, was interesting
• 2:54:08
  because. He was one of the higher touted
• 2:54:09
  defensive guys at the beginning of the coaching process along
• 2:54:12
  with Jesse Minter. But once all these other
• 2:54:15
  coaches, Harbaugh and Tom and took leave from their teams.
• 2:54:17
  Now obviously McDermott, he wasn't even thought of as much
• 2:54:20
  of the candidate. But Green Bay going over there,
• 2:54:22
  I guess Miami wanted they think because maybe 2 was going to be
• 2:54:24
  gone, they're going to have to be more of a defensive team next
• 2:54:27
  year. We'll see if they can get the
• 2:54:28
  best of the talent because the talent has been very injury
• 2:54:30
  prone over there in Miami, but I guess that's what they're
• 2:54:32
  thinking. They believe 8.
• 2:54:33
  Chan and Waddle will be the future on offense, but not Tyree
• 2:54:36
  Killer not to us. So maybe that's the direction
• 2:54:37
  they want to go in. I agree with on Stefanski.
• 2:54:39
  I love it for the Falcons. This is a 2 tight end type
• 2:54:42
  offense that he had with the Browns for a while.
• 2:54:44
  You get pits and a good rotation of 2nd if they reside pits,
• 2:54:48
  which it seems like that is the case because they're bringing in
• 2:54:51
  a guy that's a tight and centric.
• 2:54:52
  Offense Guy and. Obviously he's going to cost
• 2:54:55
  more than probably would have thought because he's had a
• 2:54:56
  great, he had a great year this year.
• 2:54:58
  So he's going to probably get maybe 15,000,000 a year or
• 2:55:01
  something like that, but a little bit less maybe, But pay
• 2:55:04
  up. You have to make it work on that
• 2:55:05
  offense. Bijan again.
• 2:55:07
  Nick Schaub worked on that. Offense, look at all the random
• 2:55:09
  running backs that work on that offense and even Algier in that
• 2:55:11
  offense with Atlanta too. I I think that's going to be a
• 2:55:13
  really good move. He's every three years coach of
• 2:55:15
  the year. Don't be surprised because he
• 2:55:17
  makes an incident impact on the Atlanta Falcons.
• 2:55:18
  I love this move. And then McDermott, we'll see.
• 2:55:20
  I don't think I agree with you. I don't think he gets another
• 2:55:22
  head coaching job this year. But I think it was time because
• 2:55:25
  the Bills defense, like I mentioned before, historically
• 2:55:27
  bad. I think it just got stale and
• 2:55:29
  predictable after a while. I mentioned when Bursic was on.
• 2:55:32
  I will say this, if I were The Jets, I would reach out to Sean.
• 2:55:37
  McDermott and bring him in as my defensive coin?
• 2:55:39
  Sure. I would do that.
• 2:55:41
  You bring in a guy, you have a young coach there.
• 2:55:45
  Sean McDermott is one of the best defensive minds in the NFL
• 2:55:48
  right now. Even if it's a year as Sean, if
• 2:55:51
  he'd come in, help Aaron Glenn out, help him get how help him
• 2:55:54
  in the draft. Help this, help Moji.
• 2:55:57
  This is a great opportunity with this draft class with the talent
• 2:56:00
  of draft stock when it comes to defensive lineman.
• 2:56:03
  This is the draft I bring. I, I they're, they're talking a
• 2:56:07
  week. Martindale I would reach out to
• 2:56:09
  Sean McDermott. Absolutely reach out to Sean
• 2:56:11
  McDermott and see if he would be interested in coming for a year
• 2:56:14
  or two. I think that makes sense too
• 2:56:16
  because he's more of a four three and he's an AFC guy zone
• 2:56:19
  type of defense and. Not that he's as much zone as he
• 2:56:22
  used to be when he first started with.
• 2:56:23
  The Bills, but he's. More of closer to what their
• 2:56:25
  personnel type is than what the Wick Martindale.
• 2:56:28
  Plus he has coaching experience. Do you think too like him
• 2:56:32
  staying in the AFC? And being in a division.
• 2:56:36
  He wants to be a head coach again, obviously, but staying in
• 2:56:40
  the. Division and seeing.
• 2:56:41
  What he can do from the other side of the fence, yes, because
• 2:56:45
  he's been a defensive guy, but you don't want to take a year
• 2:56:47
  off, right? I I, I think, I think the best
• 2:56:50
  thing for him to do is to prove his worth you.
• 2:56:53
  Go over there with Aaron Glenn, who's a a young coach who has no
• 2:56:57
  experience at that position. And you you go over there as the
• 2:57:00
  defensive coordinator to a team that you know very, very well
• 2:57:04
  and a division that you know as good as anybody does to beat
• 2:57:08
  those quarterbacks and beat those teams.
• 2:57:10
  I'm absolutely, if I'm the judge, reaching out to Sean
• 2:57:13
  McDermott and trying to pitch him because guess what?
• 2:57:16
  If Aaron Glenn gets fired next year, I guess who goes right in
• 2:57:20
  there as the next head coach? Sean McDermott?
• 2:57:23
  Yeah. I was just going to bet you that
• 2:57:24
  that's worst case scenario. And then best case scenario, you
• 2:57:26
  have a good mentor for somebody like Aaron Glenn.
• 2:57:28
  A. 100%, I think it makes a lot of sense, yeah, for a guy that
• 2:57:32
  was in a similar circumstance. Aaron Glenn, obviously coming
• 2:57:35
  from the the Saints organization.
• 2:57:36
  That inherited a similar type of defense to what The Jets had, or
• 2:57:39
  at least had before their trades, obviously, but again,
• 2:57:41
  still have to an extent with the talent that they have.
• 2:57:44
  You get a a coach that has a good calming presence, but a
• 2:57:47
  good relationship with his players like Aaron Glenn with
• 2:57:49
  McDermott. I think it's a really good fit.
• 2:57:51
  Shifting back to the Bills, though, you mentioned they have
• 2:57:53
  to hire a veteran coach. I don't think they have to
• 2:57:54
  necessarily do an offensive guy. But yeah, they do need somebody
• 2:57:57
  with experience. McCarthy I do like.
• 2:57:59
  I also like the idea potentially because I think they do need a
• 2:58:03
  good game planning defense as well.
• 2:58:05
  Brian Flores I think could be a good fit over there too because
• 2:58:08
  he's going to want to stick it to the AFC East because the
• 2:58:10
  Dolphins, the Patriots and I think they need a game planning
• 2:58:12
  defense. This is a talented defense.
• 2:58:14
  My Miami had an awful defense like Pete was mentioning.
• 2:58:17
  The Vikings don't really have these household names on
• 2:58:19
  defense. Buffalo, with the talent that
• 2:58:20
  they have on the top end guy, they need a good game planner
• 2:58:24
  like Flores. I think that could actually be a
• 2:58:25
  good fit. There's a lot of questions and
• 2:58:28
  again, with these coaches and I, we can go back.
• 2:58:31
  And forth, because we have a long show left, we got a lot of
• 2:58:33
  baseball to get into. And I don't want to be holding
• 2:58:36
  on this. But I will say this, if I am The
• 2:58:39
  Jets organization right now, I'm reaching out to Sean McDermott
• 2:58:42
  right now. You haven't hired A defensive
• 2:58:44
  coordinator yet. Sit down, have a conversation
• 2:58:47
  with him. And if you think that this kid
• 2:58:49
  is your offensive coordinator, I'd still reach out my Mike
• 2:58:53
  McCarthy. I'd bring in veteran guys to
• 2:58:55
  help Aaron Glenn out this year. Help him out, help him develop
• 2:59:00
  his personality, what he is as a head coach.
• 2:59:03
  And then if these guys decide to part ways with The Jets in the
• 2:59:06
  offseason, so be it. If not, you give him one.
• 2:59:09
  You give one of these guys the job.
• 2:59:11
  If if, if Aaron Glenn is a failure or he just doesn't know
• 2:59:14
  how to get to these players. That's just my opinion.
• 2:59:16
  All right? Save your tears, Mom.
• 2:59:19
  What's one thing that you can't talk to me about?
• 2:59:22
  My sexual fantasies. It is not.
• 2:59:27
  Ideal, but if it's what means it is.
• 2:59:29
  Not ideal, but if it's just not ideal.
• 2:59:31
  But if it is, what means? You can't treble stamp a double
• 2:59:34
  stamp. You can't treble stamp a double
• 2:59:35
  stamp. Lord, you can't dribble stamp a
• 2:59:37
  double stamp. Lord, you guys, now it's.
• 2:59:42
  Time for Save your tears because they don't have tongues.
• 2:59:47
  I don't know who's chopping off tongues.
• 2:59:49
  Nowadays. You guys know what that.
• 2:59:52
  Any lies on the phone? So we're not going to bring him
• 2:59:54
  in, right? Where was where was the Savior?
• 2:59:56
  Tongues from. Savior.
• 2:59:57
  Tongues. Who knows?
• 2:59:59
  Because they. Don't have tongues?
• 3:00:01
  Yeah. Playing around with the.
• 3:00:04
  Soundboard. For your daily lives.
• 3:00:09
  Yes, there's a lot of daily lives in a lot of these.
• 3:00:11
  Football players, this was This was the board from.
• 3:00:14
  Last week, the gross sexual action of cream on daily lives
• 3:00:17
  that work out for some and not work out for others.
• 3:00:20
  But you guys, we have a long show.
• 3:00:22
  Ahead you guys, just quick because naturally beneficial.
• 3:00:25
  I did win with my advantage again.
• 3:00:27
  Java, you were second. Good valiant effort.
• 3:00:31
  Christian McCaffrey letting it down a little bit.
• 3:00:33
  Don't worry, you still finish ahead of Fish and Tommy.
• 3:00:37
  You got the bronze this week. I guess we'll have to wait for
• 3:00:39
  Nathan. 'S compliments for.
• 3:00:41
  Him to get off the phone. It can wait.
• 3:00:44
  I don't know if Nathan is ready for this yet.
• 3:00:46
  Nathan. You could.
• 3:00:47
  I don't care. Signal in the private.
• 3:00:48
  Chat whenever you're ready. I guess Errol, you could go
• 3:00:50
  first for the time being and then we'll go back.
• 3:00:51
  Oh, how wonderful. Well Speedy with these extra
• 3:00:55
  points it only. Bears only bulge well for you.
• 3:01:00
  Any edge that you have only gives you more edge because you
• 3:01:02
  study this stuff. I don't care.
• 3:01:04
  I sit here and I just pick whatever I pick.
• 3:01:07
  Win or lose, it won't matter to me.
• 3:01:08
  I don't care who wins. But you.
• 3:01:11
  If you win, lose, draw, kiss somebody'd ass.
• 3:01:15
  That would be fine with me. I love you, man.
• 3:01:19
  Can keep up the good work. Don't play with yourself, all
• 3:01:22
  right? Nothing.
• 3:01:22
  I don't think it's ready yet. So I guess, Tommy, you're next.
• 3:01:25
  All right. And Speedy.
• 3:01:27
  Like you were saying, I mean it's it's tiring.
• 3:01:29
  Not for you, of course. How does?
• 3:01:31
  Anyone, it's not tiring for you to be at the top of the hill,
• 3:01:33
  but it's tiring for us of course to.
• 3:01:35
  Keep on giving you this. Compliments.
• 3:01:37
  But no, it's not tiring at all, of course.
• 3:01:38
  But dude, you of course did it. You are the divisional week
• 3:01:42
  champion and you know, I know, of course we're going to have
• 3:01:44
  something next week for conference championship.
• 3:01:47
  But man, you keep doing everything you do every week in,
• 3:01:50
  week out. Especially on the show.
• 3:01:51
  And especially within the Savior tears, you really honestly do
• 3:01:55
  everything correct the right way.
• 3:01:57
  And like what Errol said, these points are giving you an
• 3:02:00
  advantage that you're obviously kicking all of our asses in.
• 3:02:03
  So Congrats again, Speedy. All right, thank you so much.
• 3:02:06
  And I think, I guess Nathan will have to give it to me in the.
• 3:02:09
  The private chat because he's on the phone right now.
• 3:02:12
  So Jabba, you rounded out. I don't drink a lot of milk.
• 3:02:14
  No, I don't. Yeah, no, I don't drink a lot of
• 3:02:17
  milk either. Speedy I want to go after.
• 3:02:20
  You just because it always. Makes sense.
• 3:02:22
  And now that you get extra points, I'm like toilet paper
• 3:02:26
  bringing up the rear and it it, it, it just doesn't end.
• 3:02:31
  And you're always going to be. At the top of that.
• 3:02:33
  Mountain and we rely on you for a lot of stuff and we know why
• 3:02:39
  you're the best because you stand on that mountain
• 3:02:42
  everywhere. A little bit paper bringing up
• 3:02:46
  the rear, that'll be your most huge drop off.
• 3:02:48
  For the month of February, Java. The dude wipes will take his
• 3:02:53
  back seat to that now. No, I would rush from the
• 3:02:55
  hospital. I mean they coincide with each
• 3:02:58
  other a little bit. They do, I don't.
• 3:03:00
  Care, let's not save your tears. Nath is like, I don't know what
• 3:03:11
  Nath is doing over there. Probably playing with himself.
• 3:03:14
  I'll give him my my private chat.
• 3:03:16
  Couple of that's how you saved, yeah.
• 3:03:19
  Because the word jizz is really structural.
• 3:03:21
  All right, when we come back, we got Jabba rules, Dodgers side
• 3:03:24
  Kyle Tucker and. We're going to pivot as the Mets
• 3:03:27
  pivot to somebody else overpaid player that can't stay healthy a
• 3:03:32
  lot more. Any questions?
• 3:03:34
  We're back. This is the Jabba and the Mouth
• 3:03:37

• 3:04:02
  Everything. All of everything it was like it

• 3:04:08
  It just have you ever heard that word flop?
• 3:04:10
  It's not in that context, definitely not flopped.

• 3:05:16
  I was like swallowing on my phlegm and I was, I got caught
• 3:05:19
  in the throat. It was like, yeah, you know it
• 3:05:23
  definitely. It's like a flim wall.
• 3:05:24
  You brought something back from Canada, apparently something I
• 3:05:27
  caught the speedy he wants to go burn a Bush in a.
• 3:05:29
  Crab. Oh, something.
• 3:05:30
  I don't think they have crabs. In Canada I don't know anyways
• 3:05:33
  not. Stopping you from doing it.
• 3:05:35
  No, you haven't. Anyways, ladies and gentlemen.
• 3:05:37
  We call this. Jabba rules.
• 3:05:43
  Rules. Rules that.
• 3:05:46
  We we've. Covered in this and I haven't
• 3:05:49
  got my Nebraska in. Yet.
• 3:05:51
  But we're going to get Nebraska basketball in on this Java
• 3:05:55
  rules. By the way, we are 18 and O we
• 3:06:01
  are. We have.
• 3:06:02
  Won our last 22. Games the longest in college
• 3:06:07
  basketball right now, we are the highest.
• 3:06:10
  Ranking that we've. Ever had at this university at
• 3:06:15
  #7 before that it was. 1966. That we were ranked #8 we're
• 3:06:23
  going to have a little bit of an uphill climb here coming in a
• 3:06:26
  few weeks. But what rules is?
• 3:06:29
  Nebraska Ball rules because we are in the top 10.
• 3:06:34
  And. Nobody had ever thought Nebraska
• 3:06:36
  would be a basketball school. And I.
• 3:06:39
  Stand on Nebraska and I always will.
• 3:06:42
  And now I have. Something to root for because.
• 3:06:44
  Our football team has let me down for a lot of years.
• 3:06:48
  Don't share a poutang pie with the.
• 3:06:57
  Rock, you guys watch our team play?
• 3:06:58
  Yes, I've been watching. I've.
• 3:07:00
  Seen a few this year not. As much as I usually watch
• 3:07:03
  college. Basketball, I haven't watched as
• 3:07:05
  much. This year, but I saw in the
• 3:07:08
  recent Bracketology, you guys were a three seed.
• 3:07:10
  Yeah, some of us, they have us in one in the Midwest.
• 3:07:16
  We got a tough. We got a tough stretch.
• 3:07:18
  We got Washington tomorrow and then we go Michigan, Illinois or
• 3:07:24
  we go Minnesota on the road, which Minnesota's record isn't
• 3:07:27
  great, but they've been in games with Michigan.
• 3:07:31
  They were ahead of Michigan and then we got Michigan at home.
• 3:07:35
  Then we got to play Illinois at our.
• 3:07:40
  Our place. Then we got Rutgers, which
• 3:07:43
  that'll be a dub. And then we've got Purdue.
• 3:07:46
  So it's it's going to be it's going to be a stretch, but we
• 3:07:51
  have never won. And like I said in what's your
• 3:07:55
  call? And you know, I'm going to get a
• 3:07:57
  booty lick because we've never won.
• 3:08:01
  I never heard of a skin flute. And it's.
• 3:08:04
  It's going to happen. And I love it.
• 3:08:07
  And one of. Carter's.
• 3:08:08
  Buddies probably won't win freshman of the year, but he's
• 3:08:12
  going to be a freshman All American #5.
• 3:08:14
  Braden Frager. So if you guys watch a game,
• 3:08:17
  watch him, No. And so, yeah, he hooped with
• 3:08:21
  Carter. And so it's fun.
• 3:08:23
  So. We're vested.
• 3:08:23
  And. It's cool to see when you don't
• 3:08:27
  expect a program like that, and it's always.
• 3:08:30
  Nice, I. Wouldn't say Cinderella because
• 3:08:32
  Fred Hoiberg has done it with Iowa State.
• 3:08:35
  Wasn't the best with the Bulls, I'll give him that.
• 3:08:38
  It wasn't great in the tournament, too.
• 3:08:39
  I know I picked them a lot and with Iowa savings or not.
• 3:08:45
  So, yeah, So what? We're the only school that's.
• 3:08:47
  Never won a. Game.
• 3:08:49
  In March Madness. Wow.
• 3:08:51
  And like I said, it is documented.
• 3:08:54
  It's gonna happen. Speaking.
• 3:08:56
  Of happened ESP NS Jeff Passan. Jeff Passan reports that the
• 3:09:02
  Dodgers have signed Kyle Tucker. To a four.
• 3:09:05
  Year $240 million deal The deal includes $30 million in deferred
• 3:09:09
  money, opts out after opt outs, after Year 2 and Year 3 and has
• 3:09:16
  an average annual value of 57.1 million per year, breaking Mr.
• 3:09:23
  Juan Soto's record of 51 million per year.
• 3:09:27
  The Dodgers also gave Tucker a signing bonus of 64,000,000 and
• 3:09:32
  a $54 million. Fifty, $4 million of that will
• 3:09:37
  be paid up front. ESP NS Kylie McDaniel reports
• 3:09:43
  that the Blue Jays offered him a 11 year, $418 million deal, and
• 3:09:47
  we're the only team that offered him a deal more than five years.
• 3:09:51
  McDaniel adds that the Mets were willing to sign Tucker for $50
• 3:09:57
  million per year, but many baseball executives never
• 3:10:00
  believed that Tucker wanted to play in New York.
• 3:10:04
  Well, here's the facts guys. This is a catastrophe, it's bad,
• 3:10:11
  and I know Jabba's going to be behind it and argue.
• 3:10:14
  This that, hey. You know what actually, this way
• 3:10:17
  you finish. But I'm you're going to, you're
• 3:10:19
  going to be surprised with what I tell you.
• 3:10:22
  The deferred money thing needs to change.
• 3:10:24
  This is ruined the game of baseball.
• 3:10:26
  It really. Has, and as much as a lot of
• 3:10:29
  people say, well, guess what, it's been in baseball for a long
• 3:10:31
  time, I believe the Dodgers have perfected it.
• 3:10:35
  I think the Dodgers have figured out a way to use this to their
• 3:10:39
  advantage to hurt everybody else but themselves.
• 3:10:43
  And I think that you look at this Tucker move and there's a
• 3:10:46
  lot of questions to it. And they had a lot of
• 3:10:49
  deficiencies out of the out in the outfield, a lot of
• 3:10:51
  weaknesses. Now they don't.
• 3:10:52
  They had one of the best power hitters at in the outfield.
• 3:10:55
  Now in Kyle Tucker, who can defend.
• 3:10:57
  He can play multiple positions out there.
• 3:11:00
  Not the best defender, but a guy that can absolutely defend at
• 3:11:04
  that position. I, I think to me, when you look
• 3:11:08
  at Edwin Diaz and all the, the, the offseason moves, you wonder
• 3:11:12
  if baseball needs to step in. I don't know if there's going to
• 3:11:15
  be a salary cap. I, I do believe there is going
• 3:11:17
  to be a baseball strike. I think the owners are going to
• 3:11:19
  step in and do something about this.
• 3:11:21
  I think the Dodgers have put themselves in a position where
• 3:11:24
  they can win another title and obviously right off into the
• 3:11:28
  sunset when they does go on strike, after this year, when
• 3:11:32
  the strike is going to allow the league to decide if they're
• 3:11:36
  going to continue playing or are they going to sit out for a
• 3:11:38
  significant amount of time. I I think this hurts baseball.
• 3:11:42
  I do. And the fact is, is that he
• 3:11:44
  didn't want to go to New York. He didn't want to deal with the
• 3:11:46
  New York press, the media. He's a quiet guy.
• 3:11:48
  He played for the Astros. He went to the Cubs.
• 3:11:50
  Even though the Cubs are a loud organization, they're not as bad
• 3:11:53
  of a media place than New York. And the Blue Jays are just not a
• 3:12:00
  very good organization. I know what they did last year.
• 3:12:02
  I know a lot of people think, oh, they're making moves now.
• 3:12:05
  And they signed their big time bopper.
• 3:12:08
  They gave them that extension that really will settle, settle
• 3:12:12
  in as we watch it, as it gets heavier and in the next 5 to 6
• 3:12:16
  years and put them in a drought of just absolute turbulence.
• 3:12:21
  The the Blue Jays had the chance to win and they failed.
• 3:12:24
  They were never getting a Tucker.
• 3:12:26
  They were never. It was either the Yankee step in
• 3:12:29
  and offer him a boatload of money because the Yankees, I
• 3:12:31
  think he would have bought into it because it is Yankees.
• 3:12:34
  It's pinstripes or it was the Dodgers.
• 3:12:37
  I, I, I, I was surprised that he didn't choose the Mets.
• 3:12:41
  But let's be honest, the Mets are a stupid organization, a
• 3:12:44
  losing organization hasn't won since 1986.
• 3:12:47
  Why would he go to an organization that fails to get
• 3:12:50
  the right players and everything that they've done so far?
• 3:12:53
  If you look, if you were, if you were Tucker right now and you
• 3:12:55
  watch the moves that the Mets made and you look at Polanco
• 3:12:58
  moving the first base who's never played that position
• 3:13:00
  before in his life, does that bode well for the New York Mets
• 3:13:04
  going into a season? The answer was would be no.
• 3:13:06
  Kyle Tucker had no interest. I guess I thought Kyle Tucker
• 3:13:09
  was going to the Mets. It made a lot of sense. 50
• 3:13:12
  something, $1,000,000. He was going to get a lot of
• 3:13:14
  money and the Mets were going to give him what he wanted it.
• 3:13:17
  It was never going to happen. So my take on the Kyle Tucker
• 3:13:20
  thing, because we have the Beau Bichette thing after you guys,
• 3:13:22
  your your take is this is a catastrophe for the league.
• 3:13:26
  The league needs to do something during the strike time.
• 3:13:30
  They need to step in and figure out how to control this deferred
• 3:13:33
  money. I wrote an article article about
• 3:13:35
  this job. I sent it to you.
• 3:13:36
  I sent it to a lot of guys. I think baseball needs to look
• 3:13:40
  at what I kind of like put and implemented in when I was in
• 3:13:43
  Montreal and look at it that way for it to help the game and
• 3:13:48
  define the understanding what deferred money can or shouldn't
• 3:13:51
  do for a team. Yeah, it's interesting because I
• 3:13:54
  thought for once Bregman was signing with the Cubs.
• 3:13:56
  I always thought, I always thought Cubs were going to.
• 3:13:58
  Get Tucker back anyway. But I thought even more
• 3:14:00
  incentive for them to try to be creative and get either more
• 3:14:03
  deferred money or like the Dodgers did an extra signing
• 3:14:05
  bonus, stuff like that. There's ways to manipulate
• 3:14:07
  contracts that maybe you don't realize just because of the
• 3:14:10
  payroll discrepancies. Just because MLB doesn't have a
• 3:14:12
  salary cap, you're looking at the NFL.
• 3:14:14
  How can we manipulate the cap? We joke about with the Saints
• 3:14:16
  all the time. They've been manipulating the
• 3:14:18
  cap for 10 years now. They're in debt.
• 3:14:19
  And the, the the Cubs, I thought had a good leeway to do that.
• 3:14:23
  And the Blue Jays, because of the way that they could defer
• 3:14:26
  money. And you saw the Blue Jays do it
• 3:14:28
  with Cease and it looked like there was finally a direction to
• 3:14:31
  go in. And then all of a sudden, we go
• 3:14:32
  back to this now, and all of a sudden, the Dodgers are just
• 3:14:34
  taking back over where, Yeah, maybe there's a spawning point
• 3:14:37
  where there has to be some restrictions with how either how
• 3:14:40
  much you can defer, how many players can be deferred at this
• 3:14:43
  point. Because as long as there's no
• 3:14:45
  salary cap, I don't think you're going to have that rule
• 3:14:48
  completely taken away because there's enough guys already
• 3:14:51
  dealing with it. But there has to be restrictions
• 3:14:53
  on it. The Dodgers maybe because they
• 3:14:55
  already have six or seven guys on it, can't do it for another
• 3:14:58
  five years. They're going to be doing this
• 3:14:59
  favor. Yeah.
• 3:15:00
  And that's where it's tricky. Like what?
• 3:15:02
  What rule makes sense to be fair?
• 3:15:03
  To both parties. What rule makes sense?
• 3:15:06
  We will never see another World Series champion if this
• 3:15:09
  continues to be allowed to be going on in.
• 3:15:11
  Baseball. The Dodgers are always going to
• 3:15:13
  be in the driving seat to get whoever and whatever they want
• 3:15:16
  because what they're doing is they have talked to these
• 3:15:19
  players. These players understand what
• 3:15:21
  they're trying to do and how they're doing it.
• 3:15:23
  And it's it's working because they've got everybody buying
• 3:15:26
  into it. A whole organization needs to
• 3:15:29
  buy into this for the to work. It's not working.
• 3:15:32
  Everybody says, well, all the other organizations could do it.
• 3:15:34
  Not necessarily when all the other players are not buying
• 3:15:37
  into it, They're buying into it. They had Mookie Betts, they had
• 3:15:41
  Friedman, they have all these guys, Ohtani, Everybody's buying
• 3:15:44
  into this move, Snell, everybody because they have a chance.
• 3:15:48
  Hey, listen, you're still going to get your money, You're still
• 3:15:49
  going to win, still have a chance to do it in the bright
• 3:15:52
  lights of LA and you're still going to get the money at the
• 3:15:55
  tail end of your career anyway. So you guys are going to be
• 3:15:57
  laughing all the way to the bank and making all the endorsements
• 3:16:00
  because we're going to be winning.
• 3:16:01
  And Tucker's case is different, I think, because 60 million I
• 3:16:04
  think was above any worse expectations of the market.
• 3:16:07
  Value of how long it took him him to sign too.
• 3:16:09
  And Tucker is another one, like a lot of the other guys besides
• 3:16:12
  Freeman, who was obviously traded over there, weren't ring
• 3:16:14
  chasing at that time because Otani obviously never played in
• 3:16:17
  the playoffs. And all the other guys were
• 3:16:18
  Japanese comb overs. And Tucker signed this one for
• 3:16:23
  the money, I think exclusively and all the signing bonuses and
• 3:16:26
  all that stuff. But still going to the Dodgers.
• 3:16:28
  He was getting more with the Blue Jays.
• 3:16:29
  He signed. He signed for winning a
• 3:16:33
  championship. Wins.
• 3:16:34
  That's all he signed for and he knows he's going to get money
• 3:16:37
  one way or another. He can opt out of it after a
• 3:16:40
  second or third year if he doesn't want to be there, he's
• 3:16:42
  not getting enough playing time or they're treating him like
• 3:16:44
  crap. He can opt out and he still
• 3:16:46
  gets, you know, a boatload of money right up front.
• 3:16:49
  He is living it large and the and and the Dodgers could do
• 3:16:52
  this because they have, you know, finagled money to, you
• 3:16:57
  know, hideaway for the next 12 years.
• 3:16:59
  Thank you to Otani and and all the other doofuses.
• 3:17:02
  So I, I just, it hurts baseball. I don't care what anybody says,
• 3:17:06
  it hurts baseball. And the reason I say it's about
• 3:17:08
  because I just think the market value is that much higher.
• 3:17:10
  I think the Blue Jays was probably slightly above the.
• 3:17:12
  Market value, the total money obviously was more before 18,
• 3:17:15
  but with the AAV, that's a lot. All right, Java, you're up.
• 3:17:19
  Fire away at the deferred money. I took a step back honestly, and
• 3:17:24
  I really tried to look. At what the game is as it
• 3:17:30
  stands. And I sat on this for a minute
• 3:17:34
  and I've thought about what you guys have said, Ariel,
• 3:17:36
  especially where I'm kind of I'm in a rock and a hard place.
• 3:17:44
  Honestly. And if.
• 3:17:46
  I'm being perfectly honest where I understand what they're doing
• 3:17:50
  and you're chasing championships.
• 3:17:52
  I I, I get that. And at the end of the day, what
• 3:17:55
  do you want to you, you want to have a legacy of winning?
• 3:17:59
  Yeah, you can have a lot of money in your bank account, but
• 3:18:02
  that only goes so far. If you truly love.
• 3:18:04
  This game, what do you want to do?
• 3:18:05
  You want to win, and so why? In between a rock and a hard
• 3:18:10
  spot. Is because.
• 3:18:13
  When it comes down to winning, where do you want to go?
• 3:18:18
  That's an easy answer. Are they hurting the game?
• 3:18:21
  The. Aspect of what they do.
• 3:18:23
  Yeah, they're paying. Two guys.
• 3:18:26
  More money than 10 whole organizations.
• 3:18:31
  They're paying $186.5 million in luxury tax.
• 3:18:35
  Can we can we kind of change that?
• 3:18:38
  We've kind of seen it in the. Past with the Marlins when?
• 3:18:40
  They weren't paying any money and then they they had that year
• 3:18:43
  where they signed Burley and Jose Reyes and we've seen how
• 3:18:47
  that worked, but they were just doing it because they were kind
• 3:18:50
  of their hand. Was forced to do it.
• 3:18:53
  But I think what this does and I don't think you're.
• 3:18:56
  Wrong. Here I think this.
• 3:18:58
  Is pushing towards a lockout because what are you really
• 3:19:02
  doing? Like if everybody's just going
• 3:19:05
  to go there and take all the deferred money?
• 3:19:09
  I don't think deferred money is wrong, but Speedy, I think you
• 3:19:13
  you kind of touched. On it a little bit.
• 3:19:15
  Where it's like, OK, you can have five, you can have 4,
• 3:19:18
  whatever that number is. I don't know what the magical
• 3:19:25
  the potion is of figuring this out.
• 3:19:27
  It's the same thing we talked about with the colleges like.
• 3:19:29
  How much you? Defer to 1 program versus the
• 3:19:32
  other. Right.
• 3:19:34
  And so for me, it's like, do you have a salary cap or do you have
• 3:19:38
  a salary? Floor.
• 3:19:40
  Like how? How do you defer those things
• 3:19:44
  in? What they?
• 3:19:45
  Do and I'm a baseball. To and.
• 3:19:51
  Through with everything and is Kyle Tucker a $60 million
• 3:19:56
  player? I said this, he's not, but I
• 3:19:58
  will never fault to do for taking his money and get the bag
• 3:20:01
  and and take it all the way to the bank.
• 3:20:04
  But when you're an outside guy just looking at it and it's
• 3:20:09
  like, oh, they're just doing this.
• 3:20:10
  They're paying to. And that's truly genuine that
• 3:20:14
  they are. But you also want to have that
• 3:20:16
  legacy of winning and being a part of something special.
• 3:20:21
  But I think it is really hurting the game in the way.
• 3:20:25
  The game is perceived. Now, because we're trying to
• 3:20:28
  create a younger audience and it's it's solely devoted now to
• 3:20:32
  money, where I think the caveat for me, where baseball is pure,
• 3:20:40
  you play it because you love it. And you have those.
• 3:20:43
  Guys, you look at the air and judges of the world took less
• 3:20:46
  money when he could have got more money.
• 3:20:50
  And that's where the part of it it's like I always, I, I want
• 3:20:54
  everybody. To make as much money as they
• 3:20:55
  can take. Care of their family, take care
• 3:20:57
  of their grandkids. Long time.
• 3:21:00
  But what it takes away from what my love is for this game is the
• 3:21:07
  authenticity of it and for. Me it's it's it's starting.
• 3:21:12
  To be taken away. And I don't like that.
• 3:21:16
  I don't like the fact that I'm like.
• 3:21:18
  Holy crap. This lineup.
• 3:21:21
  Is. The the best.
• 3:21:24
  Lineup we've ever. Seen.
• 3:21:27
  I mean, we can talk Murderers Row.
• 3:21:28
  We can talk all kinds of lineups, but when you look at
• 3:21:33
  what these guys are in their value of what they could be for.
• 3:21:36
  Each individual team. And I know people are going to
• 3:21:38
  argue that they didn't want to give Freddie a six year deal.
• 3:21:41
  They didn't want to, you know, pay Mookie.
• 3:21:43
  He left Boston and like, we can give all these exams.
• 3:21:46
  Well, Freeman, Freeman, the Braves got robbed because their
• 3:21:50
  agent didn't tell him. The Braves.
• 3:21:51
  Offer. I think Freddie said he would
• 3:21:53
  have matched it if they gave him the same offer.
• 3:21:55
  Yeah. And but they're doing things
• 3:21:59
  that everybody obviously says that.
• 3:22:01
  Everybody can do. And yes, it's been going on a
• 3:22:02
  long time, but you said it, Errol.
• 3:22:06
  It's like they found the perfect way to do it and created like we
• 3:22:12
  creating video games when we were kids.
• 3:22:14
  You create a dynasty. They're a video game right now.
• 3:22:20
  They're a damn video game. That is what it is.
• 3:22:24
  And it's I, I feel like, and I've never thought I would say
• 3:22:28
  this, I feel like it's taking away the integrity of the game.
• 3:22:34
  And I hate that because I love the parody.
• 3:22:37
  I love dark horses, I love the Cinderella story, I love all
• 3:22:42
  that stuff. But it's hard to combat that
• 3:22:45
  when you see a dynasty lineup and you've got multiple MVPS.
• 3:22:53
  Quite possibly the best player in the world that we've ever
• 3:22:55
  seen. And they're all on one.
• 3:22:58
  Team. So for me as a player, I go
• 3:23:02
  against that. It's like what the?
• 3:23:03
  Hell am I supposed to do? And I think it it it they need
• 3:23:08
  to find a way to combat. This I think.
• 3:23:11
  Speedy, I think that might be a thing.
• 3:23:14
  I think it's going to be a lock up.
• 3:23:16
  Do I think we lose the entire 27 season?
• 3:23:19
  I hope not. But if they don't find a way to
• 3:23:23
  be like, OK, you can defer money.
• 3:23:26
  You obviously can't backtrack now, you can't like so whatever
• 3:23:29
  it is, but OK if so, the Dodgers are at that limit.
• 3:23:34
  OK, you can't defer any more money, money amount or yeah and
• 3:23:39
  like we've talked about with with college and and how we do
• 3:23:42
  that and. I was sitting here and just
• 3:23:47
  reading stories. And I was just kind of shaking
• 3:23:50
  my head because never thought I would feel this way.
• 3:23:55
  Because I love what? Baseball is at its at its soul
• 3:24:00
  and at its heart, but I think it's changing and the integrity
• 3:24:04
  of the game has changed and now it it's it's solely focused on
• 3:24:10
  different things than what this game should be focused on.
• 3:24:15
  And that hurts my heart a little bit because I love this game
• 3:24:19
  near and dear and it provides every day.
• 3:24:23
  I get to walk my son and it's Kyle Tucker's a great player.
• 3:24:28
  All these guys are great players getting this money.
• 3:24:32
  How long is it going to take? Paul Skeens gets a free agency.
• 3:24:35
  Paul Skeens is a. Billion.
• 3:24:36
  Dollar player. If we're basing it.
• 3:24:39
  On right now. Because these guys.
• 3:24:42
  Kyle Tucker's getting $60 million, essentially.
• 3:24:47
  Otani's getting 70 Which? I will agree Otani probably
• 3:24:51
  should get more than. Everybody because he does two
• 3:24:53
  things that. Nobody else does.
• 3:24:57
  But when you have all of these deferred and we've seen
• 3:25:00
  Bregman's contract, Bregman's was a little bit deferred, yes,
• 3:25:04
  but the integrity. Of the game has changed.
• 3:25:07
  Because the way that they can do things, I just think it's going
• 3:25:13
  to. Be an argument.
• 3:25:15
  When it comes to the next CBA of how do we maintain the integrity
• 3:25:21
  of the game where we don't have shit?
• 3:25:24
  To talk about. During baseball, because it's
• 3:25:27
  like, all right, I know the game is not played on paper and I've
• 3:25:29
  said that before, but realistically, if we're going
• 3:25:34
  right now, who the Hell's beating the Dodgers?
• 3:25:36
  Like who it is their training staff.
• 3:25:39
  I will say this and I that's the only thing that's going to beat.
• 3:25:43
  Them. Is somebody them?
• 3:25:44
  Getting hurt Speaking of a team that got screwed.
• 3:25:47
  Is the. Mets and they.
• 3:25:48
  Signed Beau Bichette to a three-year 126 million.
• 3:25:51
  Dollar deal with a player option for a year one and year 2.
• 3:25:56
  No deferred money and an average annual of 42,000,000 per year.
• 3:25:59
  Reports say that the Phillies were ready to give Beau Pichette
• 3:26:03
  A7 year $200 million deal and Dave Dabrowski was blindsided by
• 3:26:08
  the Mets and made a panic move to steal him.
• 3:26:13
  Both the Dodgers and the Mets are over the luxury tax
• 3:26:17
  threshold and the Mets payroll is 414 million and the Dodgers
• 3:26:23
  are 571,000,000, meaning that the Mets would have to pay $95
• 3:26:28
  million in penalties and the Dodgers would have to pay 120
• 3:26:31
  million in penalties here. Here's what I'm going to say
• 3:26:35
  quickly about this. I don't know what the Mets
• 3:26:38
  organization is doing. I don't know what David Stearns
• 3:26:40
  is doing. I I have no idea if, if you're a
• 3:26:43
  Mets fan, you cannot be happy with this contract.
• 3:26:46
  This guy, Beau Bichette, who can't stay healthy, is making
• 3:26:48
  more money than average Judge, who is arguably the best player
• 3:26:52
  in the league right now. Think about that.
• 3:26:54
  This man is making more than Aaron Judge and Aaron Judge was.
• 3:26:58
  How many MVPS has he won? I mean, this guy's never won and
• 3:27:01
  MVP has never done anything. And as good as his father was
• 3:27:05
  and as good as he is in some parts of his game, this guy does
• 3:27:09
  not deserve 42,000,000 a year. Now, I'm not going to question
• 3:27:12
  the money that he's getting. I'm not going to question any of
• 3:27:15
  that. The Mets brought in not one, not
• 3:27:17
  2, not 3, but four infielders this offseason, and they're
• 3:27:22
  going to move two of them to the outfield.
• 3:27:23
  One of them never played one position in the infield in
• 3:27:26
  Polanco at first. What is David Stearns doing?
• 3:27:30
  What is it going to take for Met, the Mets organization and
• 3:27:35
  Uncle Stevie to realize that this guy is a screw up?
• 3:27:38
  He is. He doesn't have a game plan.
• 3:27:40
  He's just bringing in players that makes sense.
• 3:27:42
  And if he if he hits, he's going to be a genius.
• 3:27:45
  If he misses, he should be fired.
• 3:27:47
  But because he's a butt buddy, if Dave, Uncle Stevie, he's
• 3:27:51
  going to keep his job. This is a bad, bad thing.
• 3:27:54
  Met fans. You cannot sit here and tell me
• 3:27:56
  Beau Bichette is a slam dunk. He can't stay healthy.
• 3:28:00
  He's an overpriced, overpaid infielder who is now going to be
• 3:28:04
  moved to the outfield to which he's never played before in his
• 3:28:06
  career. It makes no sense.
• 3:28:08
  It's an absolute joke. And the Mets should be really
• 3:28:12
  being smacked. They should be smacked in the
• 3:28:14
  face. They failed to get Tucker, so
• 3:28:16
  they reached on Beau Bichette. Yeah, we even heard it last week
• 3:28:19
  from Laura Albany. She was like, oh, the Mets have
• 3:28:21
  900 outfield infielders and only two outfielders, 2 outfielders.
• 3:28:25
  But she was sticking up for them because she's a writer and she's
• 3:28:27
  a beat. OK.
• 3:28:28
  But she did mention that the extremity is a big difference
• 3:28:31
  where you haven't signed. Besides Devin Williams, any
• 3:28:33
  other like pictures of any? Notoriety in this offseason,
• 3:28:37
  even Devin Williams is coming off a.
• 3:28:38
  Bad year, you got all these infielders. 2 guys are not going
• 3:28:42
  to be playing out of place, whether it's Bichette, which is
• 3:28:43
  probably going to be him, them out of place playing third, or
• 3:28:46
  Bob Bouchette experiments in the outfield.
• 3:28:48
  I know Java, you did mention that maybe it works, But again,
• 3:28:50
  you're banking $42 million on that.
• 3:28:53
  Yeah. Dave Dombrowski, I hate to
• 3:28:54
  praise him 'cause I don't think he's great either, but he's
• 3:28:56
  right in this sense. Like, why can't?
• 3:28:58
  Why wouldn't the Mets let the Phillies, who've already paid a
• 3:29:01
  lot in their own infield as it is, give Bichette 7 years, 200
• 3:29:04
  million when they have Trey Turner, a bunch of other guys in
• 3:29:06
  these big contracts when the Mets could get two.
• 3:29:09
  I'm not saying amazing pitchers, but two decent starting pitchers
• 3:29:12
  at 20 and 25,000,000 a year. It just doesn't make any sense.
• 3:29:16
  And you're going to hope that these guys can pitch for
• 3:29:18
  strikeouts because their infield defense is not going to be
• 3:29:20
  horrible. Horrible move for the New York
• 3:29:24
  Mets. They're going to, I think, I
• 3:29:26
  think it's you said panic move or whatever.
• 3:29:29
  And then Dave came out and. Said we're good.
• 3:29:31
  With what we are right now. I think it was.
• 3:29:35
  It was. Weird on on a lot of levels.
• 3:29:38
  For me, the consistency factor that he's going to make more
• 3:29:43
  than Francisco Lindor doesn't really make sense to me because
• 3:29:47
  he hasn't been on the field enough to.
• 3:29:49
  Prove and then now he's. Going to go out of position
• 3:29:51
  because he came out and that that's part of the reason
• 3:29:55
  because he knew he wasn't going to get the money playing the
• 3:29:57
  position. That's why he said I'm open to
• 3:30:00
  playing second base wherever, hopefully, and for you at the
• 3:30:06
  Mets fan, speedy, I'm sorry, but you're not going to get your
• 3:30:10
  value in what he is because he has not proven it.
• 3:30:13
  He. Came out at the.
• 3:30:14
  Right time. Timing is a lot of things we've
• 3:30:16
  looked, we've seen a lot of guys do this, have a great year.
• 3:30:18
  Carbovano from the Twins to the Yankees getting the $45 million
• 3:30:23
  deal like and he was not great, but he had a he had a great out
• 3:30:27
  year. And that's what if you have a
• 3:30:28
  great out year and, and your crowd is low because it was
• 3:30:33
  outfielders and you had Bregman and then as Bichette and then it
• 3:30:37
  was pitchers. So you you are a different
• 3:30:40
  commodity and if and. If you think.
• 3:30:42
  About stocks and trading Well, if you're a.
• 3:30:45
  Hot commodity, that. There's nothing else.
• 3:30:48
  Going in you're. Going to get that is, is he is
• 3:30:51
  he worth 42,000,000? No, and I don't talk.
• 3:30:56
  I'm not talking trash that he's not a great player because he
• 3:30:59
  is. He's in the big leagues, but
• 3:31:02
  he's not 42. I'll say the same thing by Kyle
• 3:31:04
  Tucker. He's not 60.
• 3:31:06
  Do they deserve to get paid? Yes.
• 3:31:08
  Are there a lot of guys that should get paid that amount
• 3:31:11
  that? Are way better that aren't.
• 3:31:12
  Getting paid that. Yes, Java.
• 3:31:14
  Think about this, I know you. Like this guy, so I know.
• 3:31:17
  You would want the Mets to pay him Framber Valdez.
• 3:31:19
  You pay him 30 something million a year and then you pay Zach
• 3:31:22
  Gallander saying on a down year, maybe 20 million a year you get.
• 3:31:24
  Two good punchers. The same thing is under score is
• 3:31:27
  like give me give me those post season stats.
• 3:31:30
  Give me that like that contract was probably the best one that's
• 3:31:34
  came out this. Offseason for me personally
• 3:31:37
  because you get what he is. He's going to give you 150
• 3:31:40
  innings. 200's not the marketing.
• 3:31:43
  That. Used to be he's going to give
• 3:31:44
  you estimated 154 this year. He's going to win you double
• 3:31:48
  figure games, but he's going to be a beast in the playoffs.
• 3:31:52
  That was a great signing for me. Bullshit is not a great signing
• 3:31:55
  for me because you don't know what you're going to get.
• 3:31:59
  Is he going to be hurt? Is he going to play?
• 3:32:00
  You got to be on the field. He's getting 42.
• 3:32:04
  New position. New team, new dynamic, new
• 3:32:07
  clubhouse. Is he going?
• 3:32:08
  To try and step in. Because now you've demolished
• 3:32:12
  that clubhouse and all you have is Frankie and Soda.
• 3:32:16
  You went from one of the old, one of the youngest teams to now
• 3:32:19
  one of the middle age teams in league.
• 3:32:22
  You brought Polanco in, he's what, 33 years old?
• 3:32:24
  You brought in a A. 2nd baseman. Who's 36?
• 3:32:28
  I, I think you're reaching I, I, I think the Mets are reaching I,
• 3:32:32
  I and I reaching the understatement.
• 3:32:35
  I don't know what's going on. If I speedy, speedy if if they
• 3:32:39
  were going to get this deal, you as a Mets fan and as smart as
• 3:32:43
  you are, if they were going to take this and obviously.
• 3:32:48
  Giving him like what? Realistically, like everything's
• 3:32:51
  off the table. What would have been the number
• 3:32:54
  for you? He's young enough, so definitely
• 3:32:57
  35. I think it would have worked.
• 3:32:59
  I don't think I would have done more than that because he's 27.
• 3:33:02
  Still more. Yeah, maybe still. 30 million,
• 3:33:06
  yeah, again, that's it. I have a problem more with the
• 3:33:09
  process. Obviously the money is bad.
• 3:33:12
  It's. Really bad.
• 3:33:13
  I have a problem more with the process though because.
• 3:33:15
  Why don't you do that? Earlier in the.
• 3:33:16
  Offseason before you trade for Simeon because now like you're
• 3:33:19
  saying, the Simeon's defense, which is good at second Java is
• 3:33:23
  going to be wasted if Bichette has to move to second because
• 3:33:26
  then he has to move to 3rd and then Pelagos are playing first.
• 3:33:29
  Simeon that literally didn't miss a game for five years,
• 3:33:31
  right? I like to trade for Simeon.
• 3:33:33
  That's what he hasn't ever led the league in hits like Bichette
• 3:33:36
  did. Understand that.
• 3:33:38
  But. What I don't get is now if
• 3:33:43
  you're committed to what the process is and obviously he got
• 3:33:47
  opt outs, he's like now, OK, I'm 27 and you brought that up
• 3:33:52
  Speedy. It's like OK, 30 to 35.
• 3:33:56
  That's where that's where I would have been OK with.
• 3:33:57
  You said 35, I would have been OK with 35.
• 3:34:00
  I would have probably preferred like 32, but yeah.
• 3:34:03
  But now it's like. OK, now if I go ball out, I'm
• 3:34:06
  27. I'll play the whole year at 20.
• 3:34:09
  8 Now it's like, all right, the Mets suck ass.
• 3:34:14
  I led the league in hits. I hit 280 with 25 a showed I can
• 3:34:19
  play a position. Now he go gets another bag and
• 3:34:22
  he's out so. Realistically, you're talking
• 3:34:25
  about. Renting a player that's what did
• 3:34:27
  you gave him that opportunity to rent him.
• 3:34:31
  David Sterns guys, David Sterns and like I said, Jabba for maybe
• 3:34:35
  5 to 5 to $6 million more you could have gotten Valdez and
• 3:34:39
  Gallon. It's it's a.
• 3:34:40
  Joke, you know. There's not much more to see.
• 3:34:42
  You need pitching. I know and and.
• 3:34:44
  And here's the thing, they're going to have to dig deep for
• 3:34:47
  the Tarek school because he's going to be available next.
• 3:34:49
  Year, but there are going to be teams lining up for this guy.
• 3:34:53
  For about 500. $1,000,000 and now the Mets.
• 3:34:56
  I, I don't know how much money is, is this guy going to dig
• 3:34:58
  into his pockets for this man just to solidify the pitching
• 3:35:01
  staff. Their pitching staff is, is
• 3:35:03
  young and to me not ready for this season.
• 3:35:07
  When you're putting all their eggs in a basket of guys that
• 3:35:10
  have never played and playing out of positions, it makes no
• 3:35:13
  sense it David Stern should be fired for this.
• 3:35:16
  And I'm going to tell you this right now.
• 3:35:18
  If he's not on the hot seat, hot seat going into the season, I
• 3:35:21
  don't know what who is. This man should absolutely be in
• 3:35:25
  the hot seat for making a move like this and trying to sell
• 3:35:28
  this to Cohen. And if Cohen's going to sit here
• 3:35:30
  and make it seem like, oh, we got a batting champion, this guy
• 3:35:33
  can't stay healthy. This guy hasn't proven anything
• 3:35:36
  for $42 million and for three years and he can opt out.
• 3:35:41
  Makes no sense. Absolute debacle.
• 3:35:43
  Terrible move for the New York Mets, reaching after losing out
• 3:35:47
  on Tucker. That's all I'm going to say
• 3:35:48
  about this. This is just, it's pathetic,
• 3:35:50
  pathetic. They're a stupid organization
• 3:35:53
  that's making more mistakes. And no Mets fan should make
• 3:35:55
  excuses for David Stearns. And yes, ladies and gentlemen,
• 3:35:58
  I'm speaking to you, Josh. I'm speaking to you.
• 3:36:01
  You better not make an excuse for this.
• 3:36:03
  This is a bad freaking move. A bad one.
• 3:36:07
  And, and for you to sell this to me.
• 3:36:08
  Oh, it's not my money. It's not my money.
• 3:36:10
  I don't give a crap whose money it is.
• 3:36:13
  This is your team. This is a team that you're
• 3:36:14
  rooting for. And you're going to set your
• 3:36:16
  team back because you're reaching on this garbage.
• 3:36:19
  Reaching. All right, ladies and gentlemen,
• 3:36:23
  a final segment of the night we call this.
• 3:36:26
  What's that smell? Hold up.
• 3:36:28
  What is that smell? What's that smell?
• 3:36:36
  Wow, You don't see that every day.
• 3:36:38
  All right, ladies and gentlemen, what's that smell with?
• 3:36:41
  No fish. This is going to be interesting.
• 3:36:45
  All. Right, so.
• 3:36:46
  We're going to go first with Tommy Speedy.
• 3:36:51
  You know what, I'll go 3rd and Jabba last.
• 3:36:54
  How's that one? How about that one?
• 3:36:58
  All right, let's do it, that one.
• 3:36:59
  All right, so for my, what's that smell?
• 3:37:02
  I'm going to be going to the divisional round.
• 3:37:04
  I know we talked about the divisional.
• 3:37:05
  Games. A little bit earlier.
• 3:37:07
  But I'm going to be focusing. On Really the only good game of.
• 3:37:09
  The divisional round being the Bills and well, I wouldn't say
• 3:37:12
  the only game, the most exciting game being the Bills and
• 3:37:15
  Broncos. Basically, if you guys have been
• 3:37:16
  living under a rock or not following the playoffs, you
• 3:37:19
  would already know that. We've mentioned this as well,
• 3:37:22
  that Patrick Mahomes, the man who has made the last five out
• 3:37:24
  of the six Super Bowls, didn't even make the playoffs.
• 3:37:26
  So for whatever reason, watching the Bills game, we have Tony
• 3:37:31
  Romo over here calling Josh Allen multiple times, Patrick
• 3:37:34
  Mahomes. Now, I thought it was kind of
• 3:37:36
  funny because, hey, I mean, I understand the fact that could
• 3:37:40
  be a mistake. You know, Tony Romo was on CBS.
• 3:37:42
  They call a lot of CBS games. The Chiefs play on CBS a lot,
• 3:37:45
  and like I said, they've been making the goddamn playoffs
• 3:37:47
  every single year for the last six years, so actually in the
• 3:37:50
  last 10 years, so it makes sense.
• 3:37:52
  Tony Romo's been really the guy on CBS, but I found it
• 3:37:55
  absolutely hilarious that it doesn't.
• 3:37:57
  I don't know if it's that he it was actually a mistake or he
• 3:37:59
  misses him, but we can't escape. We can't seem to escape Patrick
• 3:38:04
  Mahomes out of the postseason. So what does that smell like?
• 3:38:07
  It smells genuinely like the molted garbage doughnut that
• 3:38:13
  Tony Romo and it looks like Josh Allen are going to have in their
• 3:38:17
  career when it comes to Super Bowl rings.
• 3:38:20
  So there we go. All right, I saw this on
• 3:38:23
  Facebook, actually, courtesy of a guy that used to be on our
• 3:38:26
  network, Errol, one of our fantasy guys, Bo, who did a
• 3:38:29
  fantasy show with us. I saw it on.
• 3:38:31
  His Facebook because he. Has the he has a hot sauce
• 3:38:33
  company big time flavor. So how's he doing?
• 3:38:37
  Doing a lot of fantasy stuff I've seen, I've seen recently
• 3:38:40
  and he's I see his food stuff all the time.
• 3:38:42
  If you want a good food, food social media site like he cooks
• 3:38:46
  all tons of great things. But yeah, he's doing well, a big
• 3:38:49
  good fantasy community. If we got to check out his
• 3:38:50
  stuff. I haven't checked in with Scott,
• 3:38:53
  though. Scott who has a daughter as
• 3:38:54
  well. He's doing some, I haven't heard
• 3:38:57
  talk to him in a while, but I saw this on Bose Facebook
• 3:39:00
  because he obviously he called himself the king of spice.
• 3:39:02
  So the Rams with cayenne pepper powder, I tried to warmed up
• 3:39:09
  their socks and their cleats inside of it.
• 3:39:12
  I'm like, what? I've read this.
• 3:39:13
  I'm like, this is the perfect thing for what's that spell?
• 3:39:15
  Because you already deal with athlete's foot as it is.
• 3:39:17
  When you're on a football field and.
• 3:39:19
  Then you're going to put in these really spicy.
• 3:39:21
  It's a really spicy pepper, cayenne.
• 3:39:22
  I think it was fifth or sixth among Peppers that grow in the
• 3:39:26
  US or. Whatever, and you're going.
• 3:39:28
  To put that in your sweaty feet and socks and all that stuff.
• 3:39:31
  So I'm like, yeah, this is perfect for this segment.
• 3:39:33
  And the Rams try to do it to keep them warm in the snow
• 3:39:36
  during the snow game against the Bears.
• 3:39:38
  So what does that smell like? Well, we're going to bring back
• 3:39:41
  a memory of a goodie. Try to have a Carolina Reaper.
• 3:39:44
  So it smells like that combined with the ice cream, that and the
• 3:39:47
  milk that he tried to eat. And if a bear were to digest
• 3:39:50
  that, what would it come out as? That's what it smells like.
• 3:39:54
  Wow. Before you go real quick, Carol,
• 3:39:56
  I just wanted to say since you guys got off the Mets, the Mets
• 3:39:58
  are actually training for Luis Robert Mets.
• 3:40:01
  I'm sorry, White Sox outfielder. So, yeah, they've been after him
• 3:40:05
  for two years. That's not surprising.
• 3:40:06
  Yeah, just saw it pop up. Just mention that.
• 3:40:08
  But yeah, go ahead. Jumping for joy.
• 3:40:11
  Great move. Yeah, two years on a downturn.
• 3:40:14
  After the game, Anthony Edwards admitted that.
• 3:40:17
  The Timberwolves are. Often.
• 3:40:19
  Don't listen to the. Game plan most.
• 3:40:21
  Of the time we don't listen to the game plan when we.
• 3:40:24
  Listen to it and execute. We're pretty good, Edwards said
• 3:40:29
  When asked why it's so, so damn hard to do this consistently,
• 3:40:34
  Edwards replied. I don't know.
• 3:40:36
  We're hard headed. We want to make the game harder,
• 3:40:39
  but we just listen tonight and and it works.
• 3:40:44
  Oh my God, what is why is Anthony Edwards speaking?
• 3:40:48
  Why is this guy speaking? Every time this guy speaks, he
• 3:40:53
  makes him look, he makes himself look stupider and he makes his
• 3:40:56
  team actually dysfunctional. It doesn't make any sense.
• 3:41:01
  And, and I love the guy. I think he's a great player and
• 3:41:04
  he's sensational as we heard what he did on that stupid
• 3:41:07
  Netflix show when he when Obama was talking to him and and they
• 3:41:13
  were asking, I forget who was asking.
• 3:41:15
  I think it was one of the big guys.
• 3:41:16
  He asked me, what do you think of what do you think of Anthony
• 3:41:19
  Edwards? He says he's good.
• 3:41:20
  He says good. I'm the truth, you know, and and
• 3:41:24
  and and when it was asked if if he's going to be the face, Yeah.
• 3:41:27
  And when he said he was, he was all about being the face.
• 3:41:30
  People are asking who's going to be the face of USA Basketball.
• 3:41:34
  Everybody knows it's Anthony Edwards when everybody starts
• 3:41:37
  to. Retire he.
• 3:41:37
  Says, yeah, I don't want it. I have no interest in doing it.
• 3:41:40
  As as we all know, this man does not know how to zipper his mouth
• 3:41:44
  and he makes himself look dumb. He makes his organization look
• 3:41:47
  dumb. When is it going?
• 3:41:48
  What is it going to take for this organization to just part
• 3:41:51
  ways with him? John Moran's going.
• 3:41:53
  It seems like Giannis is going not because of that, but I I I
• 3:41:57
  just don't know how much time this organization is going to
• 3:42:00
  spend listening to this idiot speak out and tell people that
• 3:42:05
  they're not following the game plan.
• 3:42:07
  It's embarrassing to come out there and throw his coach under
• 3:42:10
  the bus. You know what it smells like?
• 3:42:12
  Smells like that owl eating a Tootsie roll Pop, shove it up
• 3:42:15
  his ass and takes a fart. That's what I say. 1A2 Who?
• 3:42:19
  A three. He and it goes to take the
• 3:42:23
  touchy roll pop. Yeah, it goes Anthony Edwards,
• 3:42:25
  asshole. What an ass.
• 3:42:29
  Jesus. I'm going to go for the college
• 3:42:32
  football Chris Fowler because he he's been under a little bit of.
• 3:42:37
  Scrutiny. In these last few weeks, he he.
• 3:42:40
  Literally comes on and he says, oh, a blowout in the first half
• 3:42:47
  between Indiana and they're up 10 to nothing and nothing has
• 3:42:50
  happened in the game, he pronounced.
• 3:42:53
  You you brought up. Romo when he's pronouncing names
• 3:42:55
  wrong. Fowler did the same thing like 2
• 3:42:58
  weeks prior. Like back-to-back weeks.
• 3:43:01
  I know he's been in the game for a.
• 3:43:03
  While but is is he getting too old to to keep up with the game
• 3:43:09
  because 10 nothing in the national championship.
• 3:43:11
  Game is not a. Blowout don't understand where
• 3:43:14
  he was coming from and it smells like he has to use that little
• 3:43:19
  hook to put his socks on because he can't bend over and his older
• 3:43:24
  eaters aren't working. Are there any Siam Peppers on
• 3:43:27
  those socks? Java?
• 3:43:29
  He might need to try those. The gross sexual action of cream
• 3:43:32
  on. Somebody's face.
• 3:43:33
  You might need to try them well. There you go, ladies and
• 3:43:37
  gentlemen, that's what's your smell and.
• 3:43:40
  I It's crazy. No fish tonight, it was a great
• 3:43:43
  show. Great content, great.
• 3:43:45
  Guest thank you to Pete and Pete was sensational and I, I just, I
• 3:43:50
  love the personalities that we bring on the show.
• 3:43:54
  I I just love how the flow of the show has been working and
• 3:43:57
  it's been great. It's been such a success for all
• 3:44:01
  the transitions and, and all the different stories that we get
• 3:44:04
  into. So and we give the best takes.
• 3:44:06
  I don't care what anybody says. Our takes are as good as
• 3:44:09
  anybody's and we go outside of the box.
• 3:44:11
  I'm sure nobody says the things I mean, did anybody say, did
• 3:44:15
  anybody bring up McDermott going to The Jets?
• 3:44:18
  Did anybody even think to do that?
• 3:44:20
  I mean, Jets, The Jets haven't even thought to do that because
• 3:44:23
  they're dumb organization. So I I just think our takes are
• 3:44:27
  fresh, new and interesting. And I think people that haven't
• 3:44:31
  listened to the show or has heard of the show should be
• 3:44:34
  listening to it. Understand that we are the best.
• 3:44:37
  And I would put this show against anybody and I'll I'll
• 3:44:40
  take that to the grave. And when, when it goes, when it
• 3:44:43
  comes to and when it goes to an opportunity and comes to an
• 3:44:46
  opportunity in the future, you guys are going to see why I say
• 3:44:49
  this and why I believe we are the best.
