  Speaker 1: So our lead this hour, we start out, Play the Hits,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Play the Hitts. We'll start out with that Sunday night
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: game in New Jersey as the Chiefs oh in two,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: the Giants oh in two, And there they were. You
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: had Collinsworth and Mike Tarrico yapping what Collin's worth, going
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: gaga over the Chiefs as he normally does. And they
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: had all the documentation of these two bad football teams.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: And so the Chiefs trying.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: To get off the schneid right and Russell Wilson desperate
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: to get that taste of victory. How did that play out? Well,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: e if you didn't see the game, he didn't miss much.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: As Patrick Mahomes had two hundred and twenty four yards passing,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: It's fine and a touchdown. It was a relative bumpy
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: ride for the majority of the game for the Chiefs
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: offense yet again, and they ended up taking advantage of
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: the lowly Giants. Point future generations will not realize. Even
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: the current generation does not realize. Jazz used to be good.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: What an embarrassment to Giants and it is so bad,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Holy crap. Anyway, the Chiefs get to win, they improve
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: the one and two. The Giants drop to zero and
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: three on the seasons. But the better story is in
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: the losing locker room. So that is where we go.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: A lot of chatter about a quarterback change in New
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: York with the Giants. As you were watching this game,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: he saw that Jackson Dart did come in a couple
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: of times, as they did that last week. But Russell Wilson,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: all right, so let us discuss the question. Is Russell
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Wilson done as the Giants starting quarterback?
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: That's the question. So I've got.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Suntan City, Lettuce and George thorergood and we will combine
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: all of these things together.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: We're gonna make some deep fried mac and cheese, is
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: what we're going to do. Delicious.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Anything deep fried is both bad for you and good
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: for you at the same time. Anyway, So in terms
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: of the question, is Russell Wilson done as the Giants
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: starting quarterback. Well, you can spell it out if you
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: watch D O N E. That's how you spell the
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: We're done. Of course he is, Come on, of course
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: he is. Russ is cooked. It's microwave leftovers at this
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: particular point, and it's the kind of microwave leftovers that
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: were left in the break room for a little too long,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: just a little too long there. And of course you
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: could argue he was showing signs of being dune skis
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: when he was playing for the Seattle Seahawks at the
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: end there, and they got rid of him and they
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: went to Denver and kind of confirmed, yeah, I'm done.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: I can't really play that well. And then the steers said, well,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: we think you're not done. We'll bring in He sucked there,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: and now the Giants are like, wow, we want you
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: to suck for our team as well. I guess we
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Maybe the news doesn't travel, is it possible? Like the
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: this is one of those times, like the fans, no
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: more than the people running the sport, they all, oh,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: we're going to turn things around. Oh yeah, I won't
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: be fine. We're gonna unlock Russ mister unlimited, how's that
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: going for you? How's that going with a bunch of
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: dingleberries around the NFL? As Russ going out there and
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: another stinker. And then you've got Brian Dayball, the coach
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: of the Giants, who is basically running suntan city. Here,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: they're laying in suntan beds. You've got one side has Russ,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: the other side had Brian day Ball in it, and
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: it is kind of laying there and they've got that
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: artificial heat lamp above them, and they're sweating bullets, getting
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: paid a lot of money and just kind of waiting
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: for the pink slip to.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: Come down, down, down, down down.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: At this point, you do wonder what Brian Dable has
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: to do to lose his job. Coaching bad football is
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: not enough, clearly, I mean it's I mean, if you
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: just judged him off his record, which usually is what
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: happens in that business, Brian Dayball would have been fired
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: long ago. The guy blows as a head coach. What
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: more does he need to show you? He's he's telling
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: you I suck as a head coach, and the chants
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: are like, oh no, we're loyal, we don't fire coaches
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: really Okay, he stinks horrific And anyway, here's that Brian
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Daball the fans were serenading the team in Boo Flat.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: Here is Brian Dabele on the fans giving the Giants
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: the business.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: Jackson's progressing.
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: Well, we'll continue to work with him.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: I got a lot of confidence in him, his development.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: That he's had, and that's what.
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: We'll continue to do.
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: Jack by boor too.
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: To be honest with you, in terms of not being
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: good enough, no, not scoring, not finishing, I understand that
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: that's that's a nature of it.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: So the Giants under Brian Dable have a three forty
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: winning percentage, which ironically.
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: Maybe not ironically, is pubbing at the word.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: The Giants has the same winning percentage they've had the
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: last decade. There is ten years of poo poo, and
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: for the New York Jiants ten years, ten years. It's
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: almost like those Fluke championships. They made a deal with
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: the devil. Those the Giant teams that weren't good enough
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: to win the championship but did when they beat the Patriots. Right,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: fraudulent teams that got you know, played well, played well
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: at the end of the year in the playoffs, but
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: they weren't really worthy of being a championship team. So
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: now the payback on that is a decade of suck.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: That's the Giants. And they're not even rebuilding, they're just rotting.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: They're just rotten. That's the Giants, right. Russell Wilson in theory,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: was supposed to be the bridge. He was gonna be
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: the study veteran hand that would come in there. And instead,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: at this point Russ looks like a guy who missed
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: the bridge and he drove. He didn't listen to the GPS,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: he missed the bridge. He somehow drove into the East River,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: which you're not supposed to do. You're not supposed to
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: miss the bridge and drive into East.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: Rivers, but he did.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: And the biggest sin is being unable to find Molik
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: neighbors until I don't know, garbage time's the right word.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: But for most of the game you failed.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: To get the ball to your top guy.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: Bad job by none never played in me n if.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: I know Ryan Clark doesn't want to hear this, but
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: that sucks, all right. Neighbors had as many catches as
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: you had, and I had combined going to the fourth quarter.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: He had zero catches through three quarters. Zero buppkis nothing
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: zip oo. That was Molik neighbors in this game, that
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: malpractice and the fans and rhythm. They were also rhythmically
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: chanting for Jackson Dart as Russell Wilson tossing a couple
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: of interceptions in the first half. Of course, they assume,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: what do they think he's.
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: Going to be?
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: They just want to be average? Well, I guess they
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: want to be Eli Manning. Eli Manning was just an
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: average quarterback. Elis not a Hall of Famer with that
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: good had a couple of fluke playoff runs. So I
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: guess they want Jackson Dart to just be average.
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: Just please be having. We need average, is what they're saying.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: And you know, the crowd's basically sending you a a
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: door dash receipt saying, get Dart in there now him.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: Of course he'll stink also, and then what are they
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: gonna do?
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: Uh?
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: They're trying to push that back as long as they
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: can because the chances are pretty good he's gonna be terrible.
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: Why not.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: I love the fact that Russell Wilson was the safe bet.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: I love the fact that Wilson was the safe bet,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: which is which is great, which is kind of like
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: saying the Bad News Bears were. You know, they're gonna
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: go out win a championship, you know that, except their
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: their pitchers are drunk and the head coach there doesn't
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: care and all that, and the catcher's probably smoking SIGs
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: behind the stands. So it's just ridiculous. And so they
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: got Wilson and day Ball together here, and you got
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: the coach. How about the GM here, Joe Shane, the
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: guy that came over from the Buffalo Bills.
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: You've got this guy.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: And they thought Russell Wilson would keep them afloat, keep
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: their jobs, And how's that looking right now? Instead he's
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: he's been an anchor, like the kind JJ and Renton
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: makes those big giant anchors for those massive that the
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Navy uses. And so just a giant anchor strapped to
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: the bottom of the boat, right there at the bottom
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: of the boat. And he's only, I guess good against
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys last week.
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: A lot of yards, a loss, a loss, a lot
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: of yards.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: But otherwise Russ has been pretty much completely guilty of
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: strategic incompetence as a quarterback for the Giants, the Steelers
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: and the Broncos, and so they've turned big blue, which
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: they used to.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: Brag, oah, we're big blue. We're the Giants, We're big blue.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: And now they're like big blab blab blab, big blab,
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: that's what they are, right, And you know, waste three
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: quarters of elite neighbors. And at this point you're just
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: gonna waste the early part of his career. And then
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: he's gonna have to run off to the Rams and
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: win a championship like Odell Beckham did back in the day.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: But the Giants are owing three. They are lifeless, and
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: next step, logical step would be the bench. Russell Wilson. Now,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: I was sending some correspondence to people I know around
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: the football world. The consensus is actually that he will
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: not be benched. This he should be benched. But the
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Giants play the Chargers. That's a good team. And if
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: you open a restaurant, what do they tell you want
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: to soft launch? Right? You want a soft launch. You
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: don't want to open it up with a rush crowd.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: So the Chargers would be a rush crowd. They're pretty good.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: So after that you play the Saints. That's the game.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: The Saints, I mean, they're the Yints. Then when I
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: was a kid there the Aints, they they're terrible. So
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: that's the that's the game. If you want a soft
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: start for Jackson Dart, you toss him out there against
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: the New Orleans Saints, which is not this coming weekend,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: a week four.
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: It be week five of the NFL season.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Meanwhile, on the cansa City, the Kansas City side of things,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: and the question here, I've been seeing some of the
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: commentary after the game and a lot of the commentaries, right, well,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: and the Chiefs got back on track. The train is
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: back on the tracks and all that. So question, indeed,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes, did Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs offense find something?
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: Did they find the spark? Did they find the spark?
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: On a Sunday night in Jersey against the Giants and
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: they find a spark? And after a minutes long deliberation
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: on that question, right, everyone wants to throw rose pedals
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: at Patrick Mahomes right at his feet because the Chiefs
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: beat the Giants. But to answer the question, pump the
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: brakes on that. No, they found the giants. They found
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: the giants. It's a tomato can that's the Giants. As
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: we've laid out that, that's it. That is your cure all.
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: It's kind of like, if.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: You don't feel good, you got a headache, maybe you
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: take some ibuprofen. If your football team's not playing well,
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: play the Giants.
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: That's it.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: But that being said, we realize the Giants are a
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: medicine ball of incompetence. But the game was still sitting
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: there was It wasn't anyone's game, but it was a
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: one score game, fourth quarter one against Giants.
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: One score.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: Again, if Kansas City had really found something, this game
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: would have been forty one to ten or something along
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: those lines.
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: They would have.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Blown the doors off the Giants. But that didn't happen.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: Did not happen. Instead, we got more of the Andy Reid,
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: which is ironic. He didn't usually eat this the plotting
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: Chiefs offense, which is it was essentially they're serving up
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: iceberg lettuce and much like myself and me and Andy
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: have that in come, we don't enjoy iceberg lettuce because
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: it's got no taste to it. It's ninety six percent water.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: But that's essentially what the Chiefs offense is, right, even
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: in this game, for a mild flavor. There's not a
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: lot of spice to it.
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: You look at the numbers.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: Mahomes average six point one yards to seven yards per
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: pass is average. Above seven is really good. Six point
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: one is not even average quarterback play for Mahomes. Oh,
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: but he was the Chiefs found something. Then you had
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: certain he wasn't a video game guy. And then you
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: look at Travis Kelcey. More on him later this hour.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: But Travis Kelly, mister Taylor Swift had four catches for
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: twenty six yards.
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: He better get married. She's gonna dump him.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: He keeps playing like this, and Taylor Swift's gonna dump
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: his ass because he sucks.
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: She's got I'm gonna find a younger tight end. I'm
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: gonna marry. I'm gonna marry you. You're terrible.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's not even a decent his standard. That's
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: not even a decent half for Travis Kelcey. His production.
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: Low, how low all?
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's terrible. The Giant and I guess the Giants. Oh,
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: the Giants have all these first round back draft picks. Wonderful,
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: But then when Kelsey's not producing, it's a big factor
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: in the Chiefs offense looking like they're stuck in molasses
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: and Mahomes and company. They barely cracked three hundred yards.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: He said, well, that's acceptable. Three hundred yards. Yeah, until
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: you realize the Giants gave up almost five hundred yards
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: to the Cowboys last week. You know, well wait a minute,
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: hold on a second. So the Chiefs are like two
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: hundred yards worse offensively than the Dallas Cowboys at this
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: particular point. Dallas carved them up like the Thanksgiving Turkey
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: and the Kansas City struggling to get to twenty two
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: points with Russell Wilson turning the ball over with two
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: interceptions in this game. And so it's just not a
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: championship level of football for the Chiefs even it's more
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: like survival. It's and they got the Ravens. They have
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: the Ravens next week. That's looking like that's the way
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: they played against the Giants. Obviously they got to played better,
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: but that man, play like that, you're gonna lose that.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: You'd be one in three the first four games of
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: the year to start the year. You had special teams problems.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: Harrison Buckner missed a field goal, missed an extra point
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: in this game. That's four points left on the table
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: by the special teams and three games in and the
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: offense for the Kansas City Chiefs still looks broken. That's
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: my diagno. I'm now working at the repair shop and
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: it just looks broken. And this is the supposed to
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: be the improvement though, again because all the Chiefs salents
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: just showed some signs of improvement here. And if that's
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: the case, the bar is. I don't know what's below
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: the basement, but whatever's below the basement, that's where the
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: bar is.
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: And so it's just not a scary team.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: You know, that offense does not intimidate anyone, despite having
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes and they got some trash from the Patriots
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: who had a good game at wide receiver. I mean,
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: you look around here and they still are searching for
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: answers in Kansas City. Andy Reid's got to clean a
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: lot up before you put them as a legit title threat.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: And they can get there. They certainly can get there.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: There's no doubt that defense is legit. They're not there yet,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: there's no guarantee they're going to get there. So for now,
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: because we do the show right now today, you have
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: to downgrade, continue to downgrade to Kansas City Chiefs. What
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: they found is they found the giants, which is just
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: what the doctor ordered.
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: That's what they found, all right. Now, last word to Atlanta.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: We go and is there a quarterback change on the horizon? Say, why, Well,
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: this is one of the surprising games and Benny versus
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: the Penny, and we hope you watch that and enjoy.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: We had a middling week yet again, had a couple
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: of bad beats. The worst beat I've had in probably
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: fifteen years. The Eagles Cowboys Eagles Rams game. Holy crap,
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: that is like a PSA. Maybe you should stay away
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: from certain things. My god, the Rams. We'll get to
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: this later. It's on my big board. Not a list
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: terry in England, but a big board. The Rams were
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: trying to kick a game winning field goal. So the
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: options were, they made the field goal, they win the game.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: If they missed the field goal, I still win the
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: bet because of the points spread. The only way that
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: bet loses if the kick is blocked and returned for
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: a touchdown.
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: Some fat ass for the Eagles ran it back for
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: a touchdown.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: Oh my god. All right, anyway, but we want to
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: focus on Atlanta. This is one of the surprising I
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: for some reason, I guess I'm a moron. I thought
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: Atlanta would actually play a competent football game. I know
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: that's on me, it's not on them. They're the Falcons.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: This is what the Falcons do. They're a joke of
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: a franchise. This is what jokes of a franchise do.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: So they benched Michael Pennex Junior, their next franchise quarterback.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: They benched him with eleven minutes left in the game
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: for veteran Kirk Cousins. The Falcons were trailing Carolina twenty
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: seven to nothing. You know how bad you have to
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: play to lose? Be down twenty seven nothing to Carolina?
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: My god.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: Anyway, So Raheem Morris after the game attempted to squawksh
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: any chance of a quarterback change, just dismissing the idea
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: that Michael Penick Junior is in jeopardy of being benched.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: So the question is, does Michael Pennex Junior deserve the
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: benefit of the doubt from Raheem Morris. Has he's shown
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: you enough in his brief time as an NFL quarterback
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: that he's worthy of the benefit of the doubt.
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: So I'm gonna go first year. No, of course not.
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: What are you doing?
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: Seriously, Michael Pennix Junior look like he didn't even belong
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: holding a football two picks, one for a pick six,
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: the other setting up a Carolina touchdown. So you do
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: the malor math on that. Michael Penix Junior was no
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: Falcon scored no points in this game. He led them
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: to no points. They scored no points. Penex was a
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: negative fourteen minus fourteen. And you know he was the
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: essence of the George Thoroughgood song bad to the bone.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: He was bad to the bone. What Mike, except without
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: the cool guitar rift. He didn't have that. Even I
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: didn't have that. He was an average four point eight yards.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: I guess Carolina the Panthers. All right, my god, so
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: they're so bad. And Michael Pennix Jr. Did he practice
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: this week? Was there something else going on? Maybe there
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: was a death in the family.
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: My god.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: And here's the other problem, all right, Michael, bad games.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: Well everyone has a bad game, Okay, fine, but you
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: don't normally have bad games against that opponent that is
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: who you fat in your stats up against the Carolina Panthers.
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: Anyway, So Penix is I believe he's twenty five.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: This is not some twenty year old kids straight out
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: of college, campus housing and all that. And he played
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: last year in the NFL. He came into the league,
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: he's already one of the older quarterbacks, and you're supposed
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: to get NFL that's always the argument. Well, the older player.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: He played a lot of games Michael Pennix junior at
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: Washington in Indiana, and we liked him at Washington, we did.
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: But this is terrible. It's absolutely terrible.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: And he had even the first couple of games he
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: wasn't all that good. So it's not like he showed
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: some overnight improvement from from a year to year improvement. Meanwhile,
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins standing there with the clipboard. You're paying him
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: all this money, right, what's the point of paying him
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: as your backup quarterback so we can rot on the
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: sidelines when Penex is clearly drowning at as QB number
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: one and you're you're paying Cousins. You were afraid to
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: trade him, So what what.
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: Are you doing?
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: I don't get it, and I don't I don't. I
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: don't get it again. I guess they're they're looking at
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: the long game. What is the long game?
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: Exactly?
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: Like the Falcons are always terrible, Like there is no
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: long game there anyway. So when coach Rahie Morris says
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: there's no quarterback controversy unless trade Kirk Cousins this week,
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: there is a quarterback controversy, it's coach speak for we
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: have a quarterback controversy.

• 24:40
  Speaker 1: the lead this out, We're gonna go to Philadelphia. It
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: was the craziest, zaniest, wackiest wild It's like that famous
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: call from the Stanford Band game, which is so long ago.
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: It's so long ago.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure most people don't even know what I'm
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: talking about when I say the Stanford Band game. But
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: it was was legendar the call on that at the
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: most zany crazy, Well, the band is on the field.
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: The band is on the field.
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: Anyway, So It was kind of like that rematch NFC
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: playoff game Philadelphia, led by Friy Daddy, he's a big
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: Eagles fan, fats in Philadelphia and all that. Jonathan and Delaware,
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: so they were hosting the Rams and they got together
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: to a PLAYD eight for Week three. If you saw
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: the game, you know what happened, but we'll tell you
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: about it anyway. If you didn't see the game, will
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: fill the endless. So the Rams built a nineteen point lead,
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: nineteen point lead, which turns out was not big enough,
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: not big enough for that great defense to hold the game.
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: They had a ten yard touchdown run by Kyron Williams,
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: the Rams went up nineteen. They then allowed twenty six
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: unanswered points. Twenty six unanswered points. This is a defensive
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: football team, I've been told, defensive football team. Game of
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: twenty six unanswered points to the Eagles, capped off by
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: the most ridiculous, craziest play, a sixty one yard after
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: a blocked field goal, Jordan and Davis rumbling and stumbling
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: and bumbling and into the end zone after blocking that
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: game winning field goal by Joshua Carty, and that was it.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: As the Eagles win it, Rams not only do they
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: not cover the spread, and they were getting a few points.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: They lost everything thirty three to twenty six. They head home,
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: licking their wounds to take on the Colts next week
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: in Los Angeles with a pit in their stomach, a
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: pit in their stomach after blowing such a massive lead
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: in the second and a half, and they did the
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: thing they wanted to do. They totally bottled up Sequon Barkley,
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: who was mister everything last year in Philadelphia and is
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: off to a very sluggish start here to begin. And
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: the Rams, you can pick it apart all you want.
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: In fact, before we get into the meat of the monologue,
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: let's hear from Sean McVay. The Rams had some major
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: issues on off fense, but really the third down was
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: that was the devil for them. Mister mcvagh, can you
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: comment on how bad you were on third Now.
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: We weren't good enough on third down. I just said
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: I had a touchdown called back in the red area.
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: That changes the dynamics of a lot of different things.
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: You go from you know, third and goal on the
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: two to third.
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: And goal on the twelve.
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: That's a big difference right there. And so ultimately we
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: got to be better in the red area. We could
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: really open that game up. Our defense was suffocating them.
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: They got going, they got a little bit of life,
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: you know, had some opportunities and and I'm looking forward
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: to h to responding accordingly. And that's exactly what you
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: guys are.
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: Going to see.
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: Oh good, So lose more games like that to see
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: how you respond. Wonderful great loss. We'll see how you respond.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: Wonderful loss. Here's Matthew Stafford, yet again trying to spin
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: a negative into a positive.
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: Here is Matthew stuff.
• 27:51
  Speaker 7: Learned from it. There's there's so many other plays in
• 27:52
  Speaker 7: this game, like I said earlier, that we can learn
• 27:54
  Speaker 7: from that, we can be better. Oh yeah, first and
• 27:56
  Speaker 7: foremost myself disappointed with how I threw it in some
• 27:58
  Speaker 7: instances today.
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: So just go back to it.
• 28:01
  Speaker 7: Continue to work hard and know that you know what
• 28:03
  Speaker 7: you're doing and the process that we're doing is the
• 28:05
  Speaker 7: right thing, and find ways to win games.
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: All right. So the better story is in the losing
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: locker room. That's where we're going to focus in.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: Here. At the start, the Rams had more first downs,
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: The Rams had more yards the Rams. If you go
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: by the statue, the Rams dominated the statuet in most areas,
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: and they still ended up losing the game. So let
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: us discuss who gets the blame Street Dog, who gets
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: the blame Street Dog for Sean mcvay's Rams after blowing
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: a nineteen point lead against Philadelphia. So my observations, I've
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: got cafeteria, Guardian and Apple sauce, and we'll combine all
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: of these together. We're gonna make your Babusha's favorite brisket.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: And they had I was freeloading at the ramsgate or
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: the Charges again. They had the They had the brisket sliders.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: It's a solid, solid halftime food. Not bad.
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: They were pretty good. They were pretty good, all right.
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: So number are.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: This is a jumbo size, not small, not baby size,
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: jumbo size bacon wrapped stuff with Halapago's dripping grease all
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: over it. Sidewalk loss for the La Rams embarrassing listen
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: and you guys also, oh, you're a houseman for the teams.
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: You're like, you know much hate I'm getting. Last week,
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: I did a model. I'll talk more about this later
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: in the week. It's a football Monday, but I talked
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: about Clayton Kershaw and they had a burial. They actually
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: dug up the pitching mound at Dodger Stadium.
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: Did you see this? Oh my god? And I'm still
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: getting crap. Oh.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: I used to like you, but you gave an opinion
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: I don't like. I can't listen it. But low information,
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: knuckle dragging Neanderthal fan, you know what I'm talking about.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: So on this one, I do like the Rams. That
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: is an unacceptable defeat. Unacceptable defeat cannot happen, cannot happen,
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: and it did.
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: The Rams had.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: Philadelphia cooked, baked and wrapped in rental rap is what
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: they had, right, and they somehow had a reversal fortune,
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: which is still hard to believe. It's still hard to be.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: The Eagles had thirty three yards of offense in the
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: first half of the game. Thirty three get for all purposes,
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: it's the games Oh yep, nineteen points, the game's over
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: and then obviously it wasn't here but the Rails up nineteen.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: That's a stranglehold situation. Jalen Hurts had seventeen yards passing
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: at halftime, seventeen. Sekwan Barkley kept running into his own lineman.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: The Rams defense did look in the first half like
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: the Steel Curtain reincarnate. They were living up to the
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: hyde and then the problem they had to play the
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: rest of the game. The Rams second half turned into
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: a cafeteria line. They were serving only one item, sloppy
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: Joe's or sloppy tackles. And there's a lot of manadors
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: out there for the Rams. Ole ole o leo le Yeah,
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: they were out there. And suddenly Jalen Hurts, who look
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: like he should maybe be selling insurance in the first
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: half of the game, right, and then all of a sudden,
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: he's the old vintage Montana back in the day. Or
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: Drew Brees completed seventy one percent of his passes, seventy
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: one percent of his passes, three touchdowns, no picks in
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: the second half, a passer Randy of one hundred and
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: thirty seven, which I'm told is good. I'm told as good. Now,
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: apparently I didn't think he could do that. He did
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: the impossible, and the Rams were accomplices in this, and
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: the Rams made it possible. Spineless football by the Rams. Uh,
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: you parlay that with the extra special wink wink special
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: teams that they get in the doghouse or or if
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: they're in the doghouse there as well. And you got
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: the kicker, jo idiot kicker Joshua Carty there, josh Carty coordinator,
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: Chase Blackburn. That's the Rams special teams coordinator. Absolute debacle,
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: Absolute debacle. You had the game, it was your game.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: You said, I don't want the game. I don't need
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: the game. It'd be a signature win. I don't want
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: a signature win. You take the signature win, you go away.
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: So it went from a signature win to a signature loss.
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: The kind of a loss that the rest of the year,
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: whenever the Rams go up by two or three touchdowns,
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: they say, well, they did blow the game in Philadelphia.
• 32:15
  Speaker 8: They can lose this game. The defense is good, but
• 32:19
  Speaker 8: they caved in. Yeah, well, these special teams. I hope
• 32:23
  Speaker 8: they took the short bus to the airport because I
• 32:25
  Speaker 8: know they should. They took the short bus to the stadium.
• 32:28
  Speaker 8: The way they were playing, it's comical. And I want
• 32:30
  Speaker 8: to point something out. This is a once in a
• 32:33
  Speaker 8: generation situation.
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: What happened to the Rams. And I'm not blowing smoke up.
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: You took us the Rams.
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: Going back to nineteen eighty four, when then they playing
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: an Anaheim, the Rams one hundred and seven and one
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: when they led by at least nineteen points one hundred
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: and seven and one, when they had a nineteen point lead,
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: That is Vegas jackpot one hundred and seven and one.
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: That is a historical low for the Rams.
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: You don't blow those games, except they've now done it
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: twice in forty years. That's once every twenty years, so
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: they've gotten that out of their system at this point.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: Once every twenty years, the Rams will blow a game
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: like this, and mcveig's crew found a way to add
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: their name to the Wall of shame. And it's not
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: even so much that Philadelphia won the game. The Rams
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: flat out gifted them the comeback. I'm not impressed with Philadelphia.
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: They should should have, could have would have lost the game.
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: The Rams turned what was going to be a feel
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: good Sunday cookout into a case of food poising. Everyone
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: got food poisoning at the cookout. It was supposed to
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: be fun. What was that about?
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: All right? Now?
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: Page due Now, we would be remiss if we did
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: not mention the heal a monster in the room that
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: is dressed up like a zebra. They played a massive
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: role in this game. Now Rams wide receiver Puka Nokua,
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: who had I believe eleven catches. I think he went
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: over one hundred yards at big numbers for Puka in
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: this game, and he was called for a very questionable,
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: very questionable taunting penalty.
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: Towards the end of the third quarter. There was a.
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: Big third down catch play for a first down for
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: Pulka had a twenty yard grab, so big play in
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: the game. Rams trying to settle things down here, he
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: stood up and did what he's done.
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: Every other time.
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: He flexed before pointing towards the end zone, which is
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: what he always does. Pretty harmless, benign act unless the
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: Philadelphia referee there, who's got a big poster of Jalen
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: Hurts in his bedroom, said wait a minute, here's my
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: opportunity to meddle with the outcome of the game, and
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna take advantage of it because everyone wants a
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: referee to medal with an effing game.
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: And he did.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, now he called a penalty harmless. Something that happened
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: had been happening for a couple of years. Now, all
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: of a sudden it was a penalty in that moment.
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: Greg Olsen, if you're watching the Fox broadcast. He thought
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: it was ridiculous. Pooka Nicoua said his flex that led
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: to the taunting penalty wasn't any different and it wasn't,
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: by the way, from what he usually does after first
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: down ketches. Nicole also pointed out that Aj Brown, who's
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: playing for the Philadelphiagos, but the referee apparently like that.
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: He had a big celebration.
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: On third down, saying, you know, feeling that that plays
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: very similar, but just didn't feel like it went both ways,
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: said Pookin the Coua. Now keep in mind that the Rims,
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: even with that should have could have would have won
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: the game.
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: They did not.
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: But the question, does Ram wide receiver Pookinn Coua have
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: a compelling argument in questioning the taunting penalty was called
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: against him? And I'm nodding my head, yes, absolutely. It's
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: the inconsistency of it all. And you've got Eagle coach
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: Nick Sirianni over there who should have been handing out
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: game balls in the locker room. And I'm not talking
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: about the Eagles locker room. I'm talking about the officials
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: locker room. Holy crap. Nkoua makes that huge third down
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: play again. He then flexes and he points downfield, he
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: points down.
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: Field, and it's nothing. That literally is nothing, And in a.
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: Game that is promoting violence and all of a sudden,
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: it's nothing until the official decides. I think I'm going
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: to inject myself in the story, like what is that?
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: And there was also some funny business on the Toush push, which, oh,
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: by the way, didn't the NFL send some kind of
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: memo out that we're going to clean this up, We're
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: gonna call the penalty on the touch.
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: Push and all that.
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: It makes you buy into the conspiracy that the NFL
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: is purposely misofficiating the touch push. So at the end
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: of the year they can claim, well, listen, the officials
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: just can't call it right. We have to get rid
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: of it. It was just not fair. We told the officials,
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: we made this a point of emphasis. They still screwed up.
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: We just have to get rid of the play.
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: That's it.
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: But in the meantime, the Eagles are still running it
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: and there's no consistency in general. Back to the Puka
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: Nkua gyrations there, aj Brown was out there doing these
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: Broadway level performances after every catch, look at me, look
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: at me, I made j Brown, Aren't I special? I
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: can smell myself.
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: So there he was.
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: And posing and stomping and whatever, and nobody bat an
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: eye but Pookin Nicoua flexes and all of a sudden
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: fifteen yard penalty. It's a fifteen yard pedalany that's not
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: enforcing the rules. That is selectively deciding who gets dinged
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: ding ding ding ding ding, who gets ding? And when
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: you do that in that particular spot, you're giving Philadelphia
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: a little bumpity bump is what you're doing there, and it's.
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: The ultimate bailout.
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: The Rams had converted a big third down play, and
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: so in many ways, the officials here in this game
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: were the guardian angels that helped guide Philadelphia to the comeback. Now,
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: Pukakua celebrated perfectly fine, perfectly fine, unless the officials subjectively
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: wanted to decide, no, you can't do that, and that's it.
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: So that's the way it was handled. The ref essentially saying, hey, Philly,
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: you need a little help. We're here for you, and
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: we were here to help you, and we did. We
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: helped you. I hope you appreciate that. Send us some
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: flowers or candy or something.
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: Like that. We'd like that. That would be good. Probably
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: candy more than flowers. Probably candy.
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: So all right, now, final point to Vegas. We love losers,
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: And how about the Raiders? How much money did Is
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: Tom Brady the worst GM by.
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: The way in football?
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: Holy crap, he is so bad Tom Brady because you
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: can't rip Tom Brady.
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: He's a demigod. Cannot do it.
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: So the Raiders traveling circus stopped in DC. I say
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: stopped because they stopped playing when they got to DC.
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: They somehow gave up forty one points to a team
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: playing with backup quarterback.
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: How does that happen?
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: Forty one to twenty four year final? The team formerly
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: knows the Redskins played their backup quarterback Marcus Mariota.
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: And it's just insane.
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: So now people are saying, well, wait a minute, Pete
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: Carroll anything like the Seahawks. This anything like Gino Smith
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: and Pete Carroll in Seattle when they would have at
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: least competitive teams to five hundred team, this team looks
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: just like they didn't make any any changes to last
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: year's coachings to have it which was not a good
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: team by the end of the year, or any of
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: the other coaches in recent years. It's like, why are
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: you bringing in Pete Carroll? And this is what you're
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: gonna get. So the question is how much heat does
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: Pete Carroll deserve for the Raiders getting blown to bits
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: by the Washington football team? So how much heat? About
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: one thousand percent? One thousand percent? Playing Washington without Jayden Daniels,
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: he's the bloody franchise in Washington. And that's a great
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: mitzvah if you if I said before that, ye, you're
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: gonna play Washington on the road. The weather won't be
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: a real big factor, and you're gonna be playing a
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: team with.
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: Their backup quarterback.
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: Okay, and Daniels is the one that stirs the drink
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: for that offense. And you got panted by Marcus Mariota.
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: You got pants, Mariota pants you. That's the Raiders. It's
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: a member of the Witness Protection program for quarterbacks. And
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: it's it's worse than just Marcus Mariota embarrassing you, because
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: it was really you were really gutted by the ground
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: game physicality.
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: You're soft.
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: That's a soft football team, the Raiders softing Washington ran
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: for two hundred one yards and three touchdowns. Somebody named
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: Jeremy McNichols. I have no idea that freaking Jeremy McNichols,
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: who I thought was working at Trader Joe's Bagging Groceries,
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: who ripped off a sixty yard run against the Raiders.
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: That is not soft. That is that Matt's apple sauce.
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: Soft is what that is by the Raiders. You can
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: spoon feed this defense to a toddler. The Raiders defense
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: there trench warfare. What happened to that? What happened to
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: Pete Carroll Man? I know you're mister positive and all that,
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: and rah ra guy and me supposed to coach them
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: up right? I know, realize the Raiders have a talent gap.
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: You can close the gap by good coaching. Scheme them
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: up instead, that's not happening and it's just a hot man.
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: Then you have Geno Smith, this dingle Berry who entered
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: the chat. Did you hear what Geno Smith had to say?
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: He said, listen, things are not going well right now. Well,
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: I'll let him say, take a list.
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: I believe in the type of guys that we have.
• 41:51
  Speaker 3: I believe in the Raider nation.
• 41:52
  Speaker 7: I know that we can get this thing headed in
• 41:54
  Speaker 7: the right direction, and that's what I'm focused on.
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: I really want to, you know, get back to work.
• 41:58
  Speaker 7: I can't wait to get back to work so we
• 42:00
  Speaker 7: can solve these problems and come out next week with
• 42:02
  Speaker 7: a new enthusiasm.
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: Is there a bigger fraud than Gino Smith. I'll answer
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: the question for you. No, No bigger fraud than Gino Smith.
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: He did it again, and yet there are so many
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: dumb people that I was, well, Gino had a good game.
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: It's not his fault. Raiders loss.
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: Tell me you didn't watch the game, Geno Smith. Another stat, Bandito,
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: Gino Smith. So the Commanders, let me give you the
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: basics on this. So the Commanders were up thirty four
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: to ten going to the fourth quarter, and then the dumpster
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: diving Gino Smith racked up one hundred and sixty five
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: yards passing and two touchdowns in the fourth quarter, down
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: by twenty four points. That's fifty seven percent of his
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: passing yards for the game, sixty six point six percent
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: of his touchdowns as after the game was already decided.
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: Those are say it with me now, O. Their phony
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: stats is what they are. They are empty calaries. It's
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: like eating a tube of pringles and saying, just had
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: my dinner. Well, no, you ate a tube of pringles.
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: They're good, but that's not your dinner. No, they are.
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: And the Raiders again, this is a problem.
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: I'm getting old, but when I was younger, the Raiders
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: always had that tough guy image.
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: The autumn wind is a Raider and the autumn wind.
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: If the autumn wind blows, now, they'll fall over and
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: get in the feed up position.
• 43:20
  Speaker 3: That's the radars. They'll start sucking that thumb.
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: That's raider football pirate ship, my ass more like a dinghy.
• 43:28
  Speaker 3: That's the Raiders right there.
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: If they were there's like a cruise line is in
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: all you can eat buffet of mistakes for the Raiders.
• 43:36
  Speaker 3: It's terrible, terrible, terrible, turrible. It's captain of the carnival
• 43:41
  Speaker 3: cruise lines. There.
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: You got Pete Carroll on one side, chewing his gum
• 43:46

• 44:23
  Speaker 5: Over the weekend, Lakers legend Robert Or said that the
• 44:26
  Speaker 5: Lakers should trade Austin Reeves due to positional overlap with
• 44:30
  Speaker 5: Luka Doncik.
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: Is he right? So I have two theories on this coop.
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: My first theory is Robert Ori works for the Lakers
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: as a broadcaster. He would not just throw that out
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: unless that he's heard that they're trying to trade or
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: considering trading Austin Reeves. Secondly, based on small sample size
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: that playoff series against Minnesota, if you remember, Austin Reeves
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: was exposed he was not good in that playoff series there.
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: So just based on that, I think there's something to it.
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: I think there is something there. They got to get
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: a Luca friendly tea next.
• 45:01
  Speaker 5: So there's a survey of like twenty five thirty scouts done,
• 45:04
  Speaker 5: and only one scout has arch Manning at the top
• 45:07
  Speaker 5: of their draft board, and the main reason, apparently, is
• 45:09
  Speaker 5: that most expect him to return to Texas in twenty
• 45:11
  Speaker 5: twenty six. Ben, do you think that's the right move?
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: Well, as long as he can play who they play
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: Sam Houston State this weekend, as long as he can
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: play them in the NFL, he'll be in the shot.
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: The way he's played, he definitely has to go back.
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: Everyone's hyping up this Leonora's sellars. Have you heard that
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: from South Carolina? He's supposed to the next big quarterback.
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: Now he's pasted arch Manning by.
• 45:31
  Speaker 5: Next all right, so the Dodgers are gonna be without
• 45:33
  Speaker 5: catcher Will Smith for the rest of the regular season
• 45:35
  Speaker 5: and likely some of the playoffs as well.
• 45:37
  Speaker 3: How big of a blow has this been?
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: Well, it's not that big a blow because the biggest
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: problem the Dodgers have is their bullpen. That's the gas squad.
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: I'm not worried about that. They've got Ben wrote verd
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: or whatever his name is. They'll be all right. He'll
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: catch a good game. The bullpen's the problem. How did
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: we do he passes?
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: That?
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: Is they win the pot. I won the guys that
