  Speaker 3: Yep, big game. It really is.
• 1:21
  Speaker 5: Big game.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: So this week for Think About It Thursday, I want
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: you guys to power rank these five things that you
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: would want in a stadium.
• 1:30
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: So we're power ranking five things we would want in
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: a new stadium?
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: In a new stadium.
• 1:35
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 1:37
  Speaker 5: The first thing. Yeah.
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: Comfortable seats.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: Comfortable seats. I'm just writing down comfy seats. Is that okay?
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: The next option, elite food options.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: Elite food options. Okay.
• 1:51
  Speaker 5: Fast Wi-Fi. Fast Wi-Fi.
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: Great tailgating setup slash bar options, like maybe if it's
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: in a downtown area. So tailgating setup.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: Okay. Location.
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: Location.
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: And then the fifth one is a massive video board
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: slash jumbotrons.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: Video board. I don't like going to games, just so
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: we're clear, okay?
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: But if I had to. I love going to games.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: Do you really? Well, I probably, yeah. But you miss
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: all the other games when you go to a game,
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: you know?
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: Well, if it's a standalone game like tonight. It's a
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: good game to go to.
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: Right. But you missed that Syracuse Pitt game.
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: Oh, no.
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: How will I ever recover?
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: It's a big one.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: Pitt.
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: What was the last one? Video boards?
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: Like a massive video board jumbotron. Like, think the one
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: that the Cowboys have.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: Okay. All right.
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: I got mine. I got my power rankings.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: I want to make sure I have the options here.
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: Yep.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: Elite food option.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: Fast Wi-Fi.
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: Yep.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: Good tailgating.
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: Yep.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: Video boards.
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: Yep.
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: And you're missing one. Comfy seats.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: No, no, no. I had that. Comfy seats.
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: Yes. I wasn't finished yet.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: I wrote it down last. It was a weird thing
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: to do. All right, Mikey.
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: Considering he read them to you in the reverse order.
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: I know. Well, thank you. Yes, that's why I said
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: it was weird. I'm thinking you tipped your hand into
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: your power rankings. That's what I'm thinking happened.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: Wait, you have yours ranked already?
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: I had mine ranked easily. Easily? Which is the.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: Least important of these things to you?
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: To me? Yes. The video board.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: Taylor, what is the least important thing to you?
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: A comfortable seat.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: Oh, wow.
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: No. It's going to be up there.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: I'm going to go.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: I say video boards to video boards is number five
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: for me. I don't care about a nice video board.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Just give me a video board. It doesn't have to
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: be nice.
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: Thank you.
• 3:52
  Speaker 6: That's what I'm saying. Like any video board will do
• 3:54
  Speaker 6: if it's not the Jerry. Like you go in, you
• 3:57
  Speaker 6: see Jerry's where they're like, oh, that's cool. But I
• 3:59
  Speaker 6: want to watch the game. I don't want to watch
• 4:01
  Speaker 6: the video board.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: So on the contrary though, like if you go to
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: the Miami heats arena, those video boards look like they
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: have not been touched since that building was open.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: And it's almost detracting from, from the game day experience.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: Well, what do you mean?
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: Well, yeah, it's like such a bad jumbotron that you're
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: looking at and you're like, man, you got.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: To update this.
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: Get with the times guys.
• 4:26
  Speaker 6: I assume if you're building a new stadium, the video
• 4:29
  Speaker 6: boards are not going to be, you know, seen as
• 4:31
  Speaker 6: televisions from 1987.
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: If you put it.
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: Fifth, you're telling your stadium creator, hey, it's not that important.
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: We're not worried about it.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: It isn't.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: You know, EP Jason writes in that Mikey really didn't
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: give this any thought.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: It's a think about it Thursday, and you were just
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: ready to go.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: Boom.
• 4:48
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: All right. Hold on. Hold on. Just slow down. I'm
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: still thinking. Number four. For me, Mikey, I don't care
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: about tailgating options. Do not care. So that would be
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: number four for me.
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: You? Me?
• 5:05
  Speaker 6: This is going to surprise you guys. My number four,
• 5:08
  Speaker 6: elite food options. If I go to a game, I'm
• 5:10
  Speaker 6: not trying to have some gourmet meal. I don't really care.
• 5:14
  Speaker 6: If I go to a game, I expect that I'm
• 5:16
  Speaker 6: going to eat bad food. If I'm going, I'm probably
• 5:21
  Speaker 6: going to eat beforehand.
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 5:24
  Speaker 6: Sure, if they have something fun, I'll get it. But
• 5:26
  Speaker 6: I don't need elite food options. Give me a hot
• 5:29
  Speaker 6: dog and a beer, and I'll.
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: Be all right.
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: I'm shocked.
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: I really am.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: I figured you would be. Based on my knowledge. Because
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: I'm fat. Well, that's not why.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: You like food. You just happen to be fat. But
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: you like food.
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: It's a vicious cycle.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: I haven't been this shocked since the Cardinals strolled in
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: LA and beat the chargers.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: I mean, I'm.
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: With Mikey here where elite food is for, for me,
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: because it's, You could prioritize food in a tailgate. Like,
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: just because you don't choose great in-stadium food doesn't mean
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: you're not getting great tailgating food beforehand. And, like, when
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: I go to a Yankee game, for instance, I'm clear-bagging
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: and I'm bringing in my own food to that game anyways.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: Speaking of the Yankees, judges heard again, huh?
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: I'm not prepared to talk about that.
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: For my own mental health.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: Perhaps Booney was right, taking him out in the fifth
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: inning that one game.
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: Different injury.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: Of course. It's always something.
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: At least he didn't do it rehabbing and falling down
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: like somebody.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Listen, I told you guys he gets injured all the time.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: You came back to me with he's missed like four
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: games in the last two years.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: I was right, though. I mean, he's injured again.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: All right, number three for me is elite food. I mean,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: I just need food options. I need good food. It
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: doesn't need to be gourmet food. I just want to
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: know that there's good food there, and I have options.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: That's all.
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: A hot dog is a hot dog in almost any stadium.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: No.
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: Exactly.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: I don't think it is. Oh, you disagree?
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: Fenway Franks are different.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: They're different.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: I will tell you, growing up, going to Islander games
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: at Nassau Coliseum out in Uniondale, Long Island, they had
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: beer dogs. And those are the best hot dogs I've
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: ever had. They dipped them in beer. And they were
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: the best hot dogs I've ever had.
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: Did you have to show an ID for that? No.
• 7:20
  Speaker 7: I mean.
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: It was a different time.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: My dad used to send my dad.
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: It was the 60s.
• 7:23
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: You can't walk into a stadium with anything anymore. My
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: dad used to walk in with an extra kid. We
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: had two seats, and he would bring.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: Both of us. How about that?
• 7:36
  Speaker 5: It's a handy play.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: It is a handy play, yes. He would just grease
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: the guy.
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 7:41
  Speaker 6: What's number, Mikey, what was your three? So my number three,
• 7:46
  Speaker 6: it should be higher, but the other things are just
• 7:49
  Speaker 6: more important to me. Number three is Wi-Fi. I want
• 7:53
  Speaker 6: good Wi-Fi. It's just probably the other things.
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: Are more important. Yeah.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: I'm with you. It's so important to me. It's number two.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: I need Wi-Fi. If I'm at a game, attending a game.
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: I want to know what Taylor's number three is before
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: we get to your number two. That's a good point.
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: You're right.
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: Spoiler alert.
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: My number three is the video board because at some
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: point I'm paying all this money to go to a game.
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: I don't need this giant TV in front of me.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: The game should be the entertainment. Right. It should be five.
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: I'm just looking up on occasion to make sure like
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: a replay or maybe the guess what ball the hat
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: is under, you know, that game. Yeah. The shuffle.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: Oh, I love that game.
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: I'm undefeated at that, by the way. Yes.
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: Are you really?
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: So I used to be really good at that game.
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: And then I think I got a concussion one time
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: at North Carolina. And ever since then, I have not
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: been able to follow where the ball is.
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: Really? You should get that checked out.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: You're talking about the shell game, essentially.
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: Yes, exactly. I was the Mikey A of the shell game. Like,
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: I was batting 100%. Right. And then ever since I
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: got hit one time.
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: Once I got hit one time, once you get to
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: where they stack them all three and then they go
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: to their new positions, I can't follow it anymore.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: Batting 100 will get you sent down to the minors.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: Mikey was right, 1,000.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: So the video board's not important to you. Wi-Fi is
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: very important to me. If I'm attending a game, I
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: want to have fast Wi-Fi. I want to watch the
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: Red Zone channel. I want to check my fantasy team.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: I want to see all the stuff that I need
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: to see on a Sunday.
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: If you're putting in bets, you want to see how
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: those bets are doing.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't want it to glitch. I need good internet. Yes,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: that's very important. It's number two for me, yes.
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: Mikey?
• 9:33
  Speaker 6: My number two is tailgate space. If I'm going to
• 9:36
  Speaker 6: a game, I'm going for the tailgate and the event.
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: It's a whole day. So, yeah, number two is tailgate space.
• 9:43
  Speaker 6: There's nothing worse than going somewhere and you get no
• 9:47
  Speaker 6: tailgating space.
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: You loved Kansas City. We went there for the opening
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: game a couple of years ago. We went to their
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: tailgate area. They were out there since 7 in the
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: morning for an 8 o'clock game.
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: You loved that experience. That was perfect for you, right?
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: Exactly.
• 10:00
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: Exactly.
• 10:01
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: What do you have, Taylor? What's your number two here?
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: My number two, I am also going with Wi-Fi. Because
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: it is important to me, but it's not the end-all, be-all.
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: You left out... Smoking sections.
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: What is this, the 1990s? Mikey C has it number one.
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: I need options, man. I do. I need options. So
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: my number one is comfy seats.
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: Same.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: I think that's a terrible choice at number one.
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: Why?
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: When I'm at home watching the game, I'm comfortable. I'm
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: in a comfy seat. And if I go to a
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: game at a stadium, if I dare go to a
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: game at a stadium, I would like to sit in
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: something not as comfortable, but still comfortable nonetheless.
• 10:52
  Speaker 6: When you say comfy seat, I just have to make sure, like, A,
• 10:57
  Speaker 6: I'm not stacked up on top of the next person,
• 11:00
  Speaker 6: that there isn't anything digging into me, that I have
• 11:02
  Speaker 6: enough leg room to put my drink down. Like, it's
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: important to me the space I get to watch a game.
• 11:11
  Speaker 5: Michigan giving me a bleacher? Get out of here. Oh, no,
• 11:14
  Speaker 5: I like that.
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: Because I think a true fan experience, true games, you're
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: supposed to stand for games. Like, I don't really believe
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: in the sitting. I hate when I'm standing and the
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: person behind me is yelling, hey, sit down. I came
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: to this game, I could stand or sit if I choose.
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: And most of the time, I am choosing stand because
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: if you have comfortable seats, you're leaning into the laissez-faire atmosphere.
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: And I want a rowdy atmosphere. I want more bleachers.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
• 11:43
  Speaker 5: Standing is a young skinny man's game i am neither
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: of those.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: Things i stand at home i pace at home uh
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: but that guy tells you to sit down do you
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: tell him to stand up.
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: Yes i look at you funny there's two outs yeah
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: there's two strikes right i'm standing up and i'm getting
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: the crowd pumped up.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: It's so annoying we're at a football game man stop
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: telling me to sit down you stand up I.
• 12:07
  Speaker 6: Yell at Taylor to sit down, but it has nothing
• 12:10
  Speaker 6: to do with the fact of the thing.
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: It's just like, hey, you, guy, sit down. You're bothering everybody.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: What's the stadium you went to where they tricked you
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: into thinking seat one was an aisle seat and it
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: turned out to be a middle seat?
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: That was Michigan. That was the big house.
• 12:24
  Speaker 6: I always buy aisle seats so that I could pour
• 12:27
  Speaker 6: my fat self into the aisle a little bit, have
• 12:29
  Speaker 6: a little more room.
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: So I'm like, you know what? Michigan, I'm buying. I
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: know it's bleachers. I'm going to buy seat one. I'm
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: going to be okay.
• 12:37
  Speaker 6: And seat one is in the middle of the section.
• 12:40
  Speaker 6: The aisles are at, like, seat 16. And I was like,
• 12:43
  Speaker 6: this was a very poor choice.
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: With the Bills making their debut tonight, There's a chance
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: that Josh Allen and Highmark Stadium become the best player-stadium
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: combo in all of sports. I have a couple of
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: other nominees if you guys want them.
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: Oh, wait, we're still thinking. Hold on.
• 13:00
  Speaker 5: Are we going to rank these two?
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: You don't have to rank them.
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: You can just think about them.
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: So you have Josh Allen and a stadium he hasn't
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: played in yet, right?
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the unknown of Highmark.
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: Okay, the unknown of Highmark.
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: But you know Josh Allen's.
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: Like an MVP. Of course, yes, yes. The other options
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: I have.
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: PCA and Wrigley.
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: Pretty good. MVP.
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: And the Friendly Confines.
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: And the Friendly Confines. Sorry.
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: Not a great stadium. I'm going to say it.
• 13:31
  Speaker 6: Historically, it's awesome to be there, but fifth inning, I'm
• 13:36
  Speaker 6: ready to go.
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: Well, that's any baseball game for me.
• 13:41
  Speaker 5: Same with Fenway.
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: What about the combo Jalen Brunson, Madison Square Garden?
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: The best. Yes.
• 13:48
  Speaker 5: I mean, I think that might be the answer.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: It's his house because the Packers don't really have anybody
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: with Lambeau. So far, who really cares about who plays
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: in L.A.? And then PNC, they have Paul Skeens.
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: Not Cam Schlittler.
• 14:04
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 14:05
  Speaker 5: You're right.
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: No one cares about, you know, where they play in L.A.,
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: who's playing in L.A. They just don't care.
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: Justin Herbert.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: They should take sports away from that city, college and professional.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: Booger McFarlane going to join us next to talk about
• 14:17

• 15:43
  Speaker 3: Mikey, you'll laugh at this.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: They are criticizing Matt Nagy for how much better the
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: offense is with Eric Biennemi in Kansas City, yet Matt
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Nagy is the toast of the town in New York.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: I can't figure football out, man. I have no idea
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: if Nagy is good at this or if he's bad
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: at this.
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: He had Patrick Mahomes. He was terrible. He has Jackson Dart.
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: He's great through one game.
• 16:04
  Speaker 8: Football I'll tell you what with Matt Nagy he focused
• 16:07
  Speaker 8: way too much on that Cody Parkey field goal miss
• 16:10
  Speaker 8: in Chicago the double doink like they were so fixated
• 16:13
  Speaker 8: on that they actually made the playoffs twice under Nagy
• 16:17
  Speaker 8: there but they were so worried about the stupid double
• 16:19
  Speaker 8: doink and man Win, win, win, as Michael Scott would say.
• 16:25
  Speaker 8: Because New York gets naggy. Chiefs have their. And the Ravens,
• 16:29
  Speaker 8: they wanted to get rid of John Harbaugh. And now
• 16:31
  Speaker 8: Declan Doyle and Jesse Minter are the toast of the town.
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: Everybody wins. Win, win, win, win, win, win, win.
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: The double doink, though, Dan. We win, too.
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: The double doink feels like something that's tough to come
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: back from as a head coach.
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: It is the most impossible thing to come back from.
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: Double doink loss. Yes.
• 16:50
  Speaker 8: Like we think of double doink is like how awful
• 16:52
  Speaker 8: is that? But it's also like how close that could
• 16:54
  Speaker 8: have gone in.
• 16:55
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 16:55
  Speaker 8: It had two opportunities to go in. And then when
• 16:58
  Speaker 8: they were trying out kickers because everybody was mad at
• 17:00
  Speaker 8: Cody Parkey, he's making them kick a 43 yard field goal.
• 17:03
  Speaker 8: which is focusing so much on what was a really,
• 17:06
  Speaker 8: really close kick.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: Do you guys remember the aftermath of that? Thank you
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: for jarring my memory, Dan, because they had tryouts for kickers.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, they were taking anyone off the street, anyone
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: who could kick.
• 17:18
  Speaker 8: From 43 yards, whatever. I think that was the distance,
• 17:21
  Speaker 8: but my goodness.
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: I also had this thought after the Thursday night football
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: game with Patriots Seahawks where Drake May has that catastrophic mistake.
• 17:31
  Speaker 5: And I was thinking like. That was Wednesday.
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: Last season.
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: Oh, that was the Wednesday game.
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: And the Rams 49ers was a Thursday night game.
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: I had the thought if Drake May's career never recovers
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: from this mistake, I wouldn't be that surprised. Even though
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: he was an MVP candidate. I know we're doing overreaction Mondays.
• 17:48
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: I would still be surprised. And it's Tuesday.
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: You got nothing right there.
• 18:00
  Speaker 8: That's a Brett Musburger. Mark it down. That's what it is.
• 18:04
  Speaker 8: Brett Musburger. Mark it down. 535 in the second quarter.
• 18:08
  Speaker 8: Mark it down.
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: I mean, if you wonder why I'm confused. And a
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: bit dizzy. No, he doesn't. He doesn't recover from these things.
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: I was confused.
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: I had no idea what he was trying to say.
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: Somebody bring in the righty.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: All right, I'm bringing in Mikey A. If the season
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: ended today, it's a tradition around here. We do it
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: every single week, and we are only through week one.
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: So, Mikey A., take it away.
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: If the season ended today....
• 18:38
  Speaker 6: All right, so as Stu said, this is something we
• 18:40
  Speaker 6: do a lot where we just end the NFL season
• 18:43
  Speaker 6: right now, and this is the world we're going to
• 18:45
  Speaker 6: live in. If the season ended today, your number one
• 18:50
  Speaker 6: seed in the AFC would be the Jacksonville Jaguars.
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: So what he's asking us is, do we think that's
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: going to hold, right? Essentially?
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: I'm just asking you if you'd be surprised if you'd
• 19:05
  Speaker 5: like that.
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: Well, I wouldn't be surprised.
• 19:07
  Speaker 5: I'll give you the playoff match.
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: Well, it's a fact, though. The Jaguars would be the
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: number one seed.
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: If the season ended today. Yes.
• 19:14
  Speaker 8: And the last place you'd want to go in the
• 19:16
  Speaker 8: playoffs in January is northeast Florida to a stadium that's
• 19:20
  Speaker 8: only half being used because it's being built for a
• 19:23
  Speaker 8: new stadium. And they have to put lights in the
• 19:26
  Speaker 8: upper deck because they have nowhere else to put them.
• 19:28
  Speaker 8: That's the last place you want to go in January
• 19:31
  Speaker 8: in the NFL.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: You're so right, Dan, because all the other AFC contenders
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: are saying, hey, if we're not going to be the
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: one seed, let us be two, three or four.
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: But let Jacksonville be the one seed. It's like a
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: home game for us. Right.
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: So here are your games in the AFC playoffs. If
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: the season ended today.
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: So if the season ended today.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: After a week uh this would be your playoff matchups
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: in the afc okay this.
• 19:55
  Speaker 6: Is correct all right all right the cincinnati bangles would
• 19:58
  Speaker 6: be traveling to the kansas city chiefs.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: I'll take that game right now so whenever right now
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: i would take this game.
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: Yes Would Mahomes take this game?
• 20:08
  Speaker 8: I like Kansas City in that matchup to make a
• 20:11
  Speaker 8: solid victory. However, not enough to say that they're there
• 20:17
  Speaker 8: in the playoffs, but give me the Chiefs.
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: Wow, what a great matchup. Bengals at Chiefs. Hold on.
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: I thought we're picking the game. I mean, it gets better.
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: You got to move. All right. I have the Bengals
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: in there.
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: It's hard to see how it's going to get better
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: than that game.
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: It's impossible.
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: The Buffalo Bills travel to the Baltimore Ravens.
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: It's possible. So now it's Bills at Ravens. If the
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: season ended today.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: You would have the greatest first round in the history
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: of the NFL playoffs. I wish the season did end today.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: But Bill's at Ravens. That's a battle of two quarterbacks
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: chasing a ring, man.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: And the winner goes on to face Cincinnati, I guess.
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 21:03
  Speaker 5: Or Jacksonville. Depends on the third matchup, too. Remember how
• 21:08
  Speaker 5: I said it gets better? Yes.
• 21:10
  Speaker 6: That was the last game. Your last matchup is the
• 21:12
  Speaker 6: Raiders at the Jets. That's your NFL Network Saturday night game,
• 21:16
  Speaker 6: I bet.
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: If the season ended today, people's heads would explode. Raiders
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: at the Jets.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: A revenge spot for gino smith gino right not the
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: exact revenge that he wants but revenge nonetheless.
• 21:32
  Speaker 8: We we also got a tweet this from 1968 yes
• 21:35
  Speaker 8: please on jets raiders 1968 loves that.
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: Matchup the oakland raiders right yes.
• 21:43
  Speaker 8: Raiders jets they're good with it i have the jets.
• 21:46
  Speaker 5: In that game oh yeah jets would be at least
• 21:49
  Speaker 5: minus four and a half.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: Wait that means kirk cousins would still be starting for
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: the raiders if they made it that far right sure
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: i mean if the season ended today if the season
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: ended today kirk cousins is still starting what a weekend
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: we have in store for.
• 22:01
  Speaker 8: Us i mean would gina smith be the first quarterback
• 22:04
  Speaker 8: to win a division without throwing a touchdown pass the
• 22:07
  Speaker 8: entire season i think that's that's also borderline history with
• 22:12
  Speaker 8: what we have.
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: Mikey did the steelers miss the playoffs at one and
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: oh They did tiebreaker.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: Tiebreakers. Yep.
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: If the season ended today.
• 22:21
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 22:22
  Speaker 5: Why undefeated?
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: You want to talk cruel.
• 22:29
  Speaker 5: Let's go to the NFC. Let's do it in the NFC.
• 22:33
  Speaker 6: Your number one seed is the San Francisco 49ers. They
• 22:35
  Speaker 6: get to buy. Your first matchup. The Philadelphia Eagles are
• 22:44
  Speaker 6: at the Minnesota Vikings.
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: So it's a loud revenge game for Carson Wentz.
• 22:49
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: I mean, if the season ended today, Carson Wentz would
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: be the quarterback in that game.
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: Yes. Your second matchup.
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 23:08
  Speaker 6: The Detroit Lions would also be traveling to New York.
• 23:13
  Speaker 6: to face the New York Giants.
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: So if the season ended today, both New York teams
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: would make the playoffs.
• 23:20
  Speaker 5: They're hosting two games in two days.
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: Yes. I mean, I think the Giants are going to
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: make the playoffs. I know the season doesn't end today.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: We have, you know, 17 more weeks of this crap.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: But I still have the Giants making the playoffs. I'm
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: trying to think who would win that game.
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: It's a tough game.
• 23:40
  Speaker 5: It's a tough game.
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: It is.
• 23:43
  Speaker 5: I mean, Campbell, Harbaugh.
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: I'll take the Giants.
• 23:52
  Speaker 5: Your last matchup in the playoffs if the season ended today. Yes.
• 23:56
  Speaker 6: The Chicago Bears would be traveling to the winless New
• 24:01
  Speaker 6: Orleans Saints who are hosting a playoff.
• 24:04
  Speaker 5: That can't be right. That can't be right.
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: You cannot have undefeated.
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: NFC South winner. Oh, I forgot.
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: It's so perfect for the NFC South.
• 24:13
  Speaker 8: They did enough.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: You can't have undefeated teams not making it to the
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: postseason and winless teams making it to the postseason.
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: You can't do it.
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: You sure can.
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: If the season ended today.
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: What was that matchup?
• 24:25
  Speaker 5: Bears at Panthers.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: No bears at saints no i wish every week was
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: bears at panthers.
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: What an entertaining game.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: Yes nfc south winner i have the bears winning that
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: game and then winning the next game and the next
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: game and the next game how about.
• 24:44
  Speaker 6: That and listen don't don't don't dismiss tyler shuck he's
• 24:49
  Speaker 6: your uh nfl passing leader if the season ended today.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: Without a win without a win they would be the
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: first winless team to ever make it to the playoffs
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: so the saints get in the league in uh interceptions
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: the season ended today the jets tj watt uh tj
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: of course.
• 25:12
  Speaker 8: Saints get in based on best combined ranking among conference
• 25:15
  Speaker 8: teams in points scored and points allowed.
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: Wow yep Really taking this seriously, Dan. I like it.
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's the point of the game.
• 25:25
  Speaker 5: He's checking my work, and I like it.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: I appreciate it. I am so happy that you're this
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: into it. I didn't think anyone was this into it
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: other than me and Billy Gill.
• 25:32
  Speaker 8: 100 bucks, these matchups are better than what we actually
• 25:34
  Speaker 8: get in January. Like, these are magnificent so far.
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: They really are.
• 25:39
  Speaker 5: You're right.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: We should stop the season today because we might not
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: get these come January.
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 25:46
  Speaker 6: Listen, as a Jets fan, if the season ended today,
• 25:49
  Speaker 6: the Jets are picking second Thanks to the Green Bay Packers.
• 25:53
  Speaker 5: Right. Sixth. Thanks to the Indianapolis Colts.
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 25:57
  Speaker 5: And the Tampa Bay Bucks are on the clock.
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: So they make the playoffs.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: They still have the second pick and the sixth pick
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: in next year's NFL draft. And if, you know, perhaps
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: they get bounced out in the first round, Gino's getting older,
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: they could still get their quarterback of the future.
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: What a season.
• 26:12
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: The other option there.
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: We had a week.
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: You get Gino Smith, some help Jeremiah Smith in New
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: York next year.
• 26:20
  Speaker 5: That's what the sixth pick is for.
• 26:25
  Speaker 8: You mentioned the Carson Wentz bowl. I'm still stuck to
• 26:27
  Speaker 8: Sam Bradford show up in the half and half Jersey,
• 26:30
  Speaker 8: like the half Vikings, half Eagles Jersey for that game.
• 26:33
  Speaker 8: There's a lot riding on, on the line here. A
• 26:37
  Speaker 8: lot of cross-pollination. If the season ended today. If the
• 26:41
  Speaker 8: season ended today.
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: Wait, so the Texans aren't in?
• 26:46
  Speaker 5: Texans aren't in?
• 26:47
  Speaker 8: No. Seahawks aren't in.
• 26:49
  Speaker 5: Oh, wow.
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: Now I know why he's pissed off. This is why
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: he's so engaged.
• 26:55
  Speaker 5: This is why I'm reading tiebreakers. The Texans are picking fourth. Oh, wow.
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: They get their quarterback.
• 27:03
  Speaker 5: If the season ended today.
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: When would the draft be?
• 27:10
  Speaker 5: Tomorrow.
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: I would be fine if we just got rid of
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: the NFC South entirely.
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: Put it on the poll. Would you be okay if
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: we got rid of the NFC South entirely?
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: Just like disband them and send them to other divisions.
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: Agreed.
• 27:22
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: I'm all for it.
• 27:24
  Speaker 5: I mean, why?
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: What's the point?
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: I mean, one of those teams is going to go
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: 8-9 and make it to the postseason and bounce out
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: in the first round.
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: A tradition unlike any other.
• 27:35
  Speaker 5: That was the Panthers Super Bowl last year, remember?
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: If the season ended today.
• 27:39
  Speaker 5: Go toe-to-toe with the Rams.
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: If the season ended today, who would be your MVP?
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: One week.
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: For me, it would be Josh Allen.
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: I would go Kenneth Walker.
• 27:49
  Speaker 5: Wow, I forgot about Kenneth Walker already, actually. That was impressive.
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: So it's the MVP of week one, essentially, is what
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: I'm asking.
• 27:58
  Speaker 8: Caleb Williams. Oh, that's right.
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: I forgot about it.
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: Coach of the year, Ben Johnson.
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: Coach of the year, Ben Johnson, MVP, Caleb Williams. Yes,
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: I agree. Yes. The Bears winning the Super Bowl. If
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: the season ended today.
• 28:15
  Speaker 5: Chris Olave, your offensive player of the year, leads the
• 28:17
  Speaker 5: league in receiving.
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: Does it?
• 28:20
  Speaker 8: Derek Henry would also get some votes.
• 28:22
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: He would love a one-game season because eventually Olave is
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: going to get hurt.
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: So.
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: First year, he stayed upright the entire season.
• 28:34
  Speaker 8: He's covered with the Guardian cap now.
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: Those days are in the past. I like the Saints, man.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: I want the Saints to do well. I like Shuck.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: I like that team. They're entertaining.
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: They're fun. Why are you shaking your head, Taylor? You
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: don't like that division?
• 28:48
  Speaker 5: I like Shuck.
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: I don't like the supporting cast around Chuck.
• 28:54
  Speaker 5: They leave. We're supposed to have Chuck on.
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: They leave a lot to be desired, the New Orleans Saints.
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: I'm working on it.
• 29:01
  Speaker 5: Work harder.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: You think Chuck likes his surrounding talent? I think he
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: likes the guys on offense. The defense, he probably has
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: some questions.
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: Remember when we had Tyler Shuck on and we asked him, like,
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: who would you add to this team? And he said,
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: Alec Pierce. And everybody kind of looked around and said.
• 29:15
  Speaker 5: Alec Pierce.
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: Yes, it was weird.
• 29:16
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: No, I asked him, hey, you can have one wide
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: receiver in the NFL. Anyone.
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: You can pick anyone. They're all at your disposal. And
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: he thought for a minute. And then he thought some more.
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: And what he blurted back to us was Alec Pierce.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: And we all looked at each other like he was
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: an alien.
• 29:32
  Speaker 6: I mean, but that's Tyler Shuck playing chess while we're
• 29:36
  Speaker 6: playing checkers. He knew if he said somebody currently on
• 29:39
  Speaker 6: a team. he could get fined for tampering. So he
• 29:42
  Speaker 6: said a free agent. He said the best free agent available.
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: It's a heady blood.
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: I'm not sure there's any world where Alec Pierce is
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: the best free agent available.
• 29:50
  Speaker 5: Best wide receiver free agent available.
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: So you're saying at the time he just didn't know
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: his options is essentially what you're saying.
• 29:56
  Speaker 5: He just can't say Justin Jefferson. Right.
• 29:59
  Speaker 6: Vikings sue for another tampering and they cost him a
• 30:02
  Speaker 6: second round pick or something.
• 30:04
  Speaker 5: Can't do it.
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: No, but Taylor's saying there could be two free agent
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: wide receivers and the best one is never going to
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: be out here.
• 30:10
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 30:11
  Speaker 8: Alec Pierce is Sterling Shepard. Who do you like? Who
• 30:13
  Speaker 8: are you taking?
• 30:16
  Speaker 5: I'll take OBJ over.
• 30:18
  Speaker 6: Is it possible he thought I said white receiver instead.
• 30:20
  Speaker 5: Of wide receiver?
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: That concludes if the season ended today. Luckily, it doesn't.
• 30:33
  Speaker 5: Well, the Jets did.
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: And I love it.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: Taylor, what is happening with this Tennessee Titan fan who's
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: getting attacked by the internet?
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: What is going on there?
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: So a Titans fan made the catastrophic mistake of putting
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: out a promise on social media if the Titans were
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: to lose to the Jets.
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: So August 23rd, a Twitter user by the handle of BallinFFB,
• 30:59
  Speaker 4: if the Tennessee Titans lose to the Jets today, If
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: the Tennessee Titans lose to the Jets week one, I
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: will walk from MetLife Stadium all the way to Nissan
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: Stadium nonstop.
• 31:10
  Speaker 5: Right. OK.
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: And?
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: Time to pay up the bet because the Jets win.
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: The Jets beat the Titans 23 to 10. And this
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: guy has come to Twitter and said, I'm not walking.
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: He's the Stugatz of the day. I mean, how about that?
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: He is not walking.
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: Why would he put that out there and then not
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: pay off the bet?
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's ridiculous.
• 31:31
  Speaker 5: Because his nickname, his Twitter handle is balling. Yes. That's why.
• 31:35
  Speaker 5: Because he's one of those people. Yes.
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: So once he put this up on August 23rd, the
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: next day it had started to blow up because Jets
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: fans were like, hey, we are going to hold you
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: accountable if the Jets win this game.
• 31:47
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: And Jets fans are tweeting at him like, make sure
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: you hydrate. He's like, oh, we're not losing to the
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: lousy Jets. So when you put Nissan Stadium to MetLife
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: Stadium in Google Maps or Apple Maps.
• 31:58
  Speaker 5: Right. It says you can't walk. What?
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: It says you can only drive because I'm assuming they're
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: saying you can't walk on like major highways.
• 32:06
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: So that's what this guy, this fan is now using
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: as his excuse. The walk apparently is impossible. But if
• 32:13
  Speaker 4: a car could get you there.
• 32:15
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 32:15
  Speaker 4: So can your feet. And this guy better get walking.
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: He found the loophole.
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, and it's funny, the least accountable fan base
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: in all of sports is trying to hold someone accountable
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: for something they said on social media. I mean, Jet
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: fans holding a guy accountable is laugh out loud funny.
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: He should walk, though.
• 32:36
  Speaker 5: Stu, 1000%.
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: The second you put it on social media, if blank happens,
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: I'll do blank. You have to follow through on that
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: because I don't know if you guys remember this. A
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: Florida State fan did something similar when they were playing
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: Boston College back in 2024.
• 32:50
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: He would eat something coming from a dog out of
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: a Red Solo cup using a spoon and post a
• 33:03
  Speaker 4: video because he was that sure that they would not
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: lose to FSU.
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: And FSU wound up losing the game 28 to 13.
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 33:11
  Speaker 5: And since that has happened.
• 33:13
  Speaker 4: Fsu is cursed like nothing has gone right for fsu
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: since this fan made made this proclamation.
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: They fired their ad correct not their coach mike norvell
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: that's coming they fired the ad florida state yes.
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah this is what we call in the business the
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: move before.
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: The move they fired the guy who made the hire
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: right and then the.
• 33:32
  Speaker 4: New ad comes in and it's a lot easier for
• 33:35
  Speaker 4: the new ad to say hey this guy's not my
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: guy get him out of town.
• 33:38
  Speaker 8: This is the severe thunderstorm watch That's what this is.
• 33:42
  Speaker 8: And the warning is very, very soon to follow.
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: The guy, the only supporter you have in the entire
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: school is no longer there. Deion Sanders is head of
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: the Florida State. I think Taylor is going to be
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: right about this.
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: I do.
• 33:57
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: It just makes too much sense. And you would assume that.
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: norvell's buyout is like 50 plus million dollars fsu's not
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: going to want to break the bank on their next
• 34:07
  Speaker 4: coaching hire dion going back to his alma mater shouldn't
• 34:11
  Speaker 4: necessarily do that especially like it's not like dion you're
• 34:15
  Speaker 4: going to be bidding against other schools for dion because
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: if another school wanted dion by now he wouldn't still
• 34:21
  Speaker 4: be at colorado.
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: Are you saying that dion would give them a hometown
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: discount is that what you're kind of saying Not so.
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: Much a hometown discount because nothing about Deion Sanders gives
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: off that he's going to give anybody a hometown discount. No,
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: but you get him at market value at the very least.
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: I think he might give them an actual hometown discount
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: because Deion Sanders has money. I think people are surprised
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: just how seriously Deion is taking the coaching thing. I
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: think at first everyone thought he was in it for
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: his son, and he has proven that that was not
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: the only reason he was doing this.
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: He loves to coach.
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: And why not coach at Florida State?
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: He would be the perfect coach for Florida State.
• 34:56
  Speaker 5: He would be. Yeah, Mikey.
• 34:57
  Speaker 6: Yeah, but you don't need a hometown discount. You just
• 35:00
  Speaker 6: kind of have to match what Colorado is paying.
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 35:02
  Speaker 6: And then it's like, well, would you rather make this
• 35:04
  Speaker 6: much money in Colorado or Florida State?
• 35:07
  Speaker 5: And there's your answer. Right.
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: The mistake Florida State can't make is the mistake that
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: North Carolina make. No, not by hiring Bill Belichick. But
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: when you look at the contract.
• 35:16
  Speaker 5: Mike Lombardi.
• 35:17
  Speaker 4: No disaster i mean two-part disaster only three and a
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: half point underdog against clemson on the road this week i.
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: Tell they're better i mean you have to get belichick
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: credit the carolina is better this.
• 35:28
  Speaker 4: Year yes but the mistake that north carolina made is
• 35:31
  Speaker 4: when you look at bill belichick's contract and you slot
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: it against other college football coaches the results you're getting
• 35:37
  Speaker 4: are nowhere near a top 10 paid coach in college
• 35:40
  Speaker 4: football but that's what they paid belichick to be at
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: North Carolina. And you're looking around at the landscape of
• 35:46
  Speaker 4: college football, like who was North Carolina bidding against for
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: bill Belichick to come back where you had, you feel
• 35:52
  Speaker 4: like you had to give them, you know, 10 plus
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: million dollars a year to coach.
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: I'd like to get the guy who's supposed to be
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: walking to Nissan stadium on the show.
• 36:00
  Speaker 4: Can we get, no, cause he's also doing this pivot
• 36:03
  Speaker 4: now where he's like, I'll donate money to charity instead.
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: And it's like, he said he would donate a hundred
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: dollars for every point that jet scored and if they
• 36:12
  Speaker 4: beat the Titans, which is $ 2, 300, a good amount of
• 36:15
  Speaker 4: money to go into charity, but also, like, get your walk.
• 36:18
  Speaker 4: Use some of that money to get some walking shoes, buddy.
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: Would you walk from New York to Tennessee if it
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: meant you didn't have to part with $ 2, 300?
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: That's a good chunk of change.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, what, you would fork up the $ 2, 300? I
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: wouldn't make a stupid claim. That walk is like eight days.
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: I understand that, Mikey, but it was the Jets.
• 36:45
  Speaker 5: You had no way of knowing.
• 36:48
  Speaker 4: If North Carolina loses to Duke and basketball, I'll walk
• 36:50
  Speaker 4: from UNC to Duke.
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: It's a mile. You guys play that open. I went
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: five and one. Still, you guys this week. I mean.
• 37:01
  Speaker 5: How'd you do in college?
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: Not so well.
• 37:04
  Speaker 4: And what was your loss in the NFL?
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: The Chargers.
• 37:07
  Speaker 5: Oh.
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: Go ahead.
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: Taylor set that up perfectly. Sal, your thoughts on Justin Herbert,
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: who has been a topic of discussion here on God
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: Bless Football.
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: We're all tired of him.
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: We're sick of everyone telling us how great he is
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: heading into every NFL season.
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: Sal? The floor is yours.
• 37:28
  Speaker 5: Okay, I appreciate that.
• 37:29
  Speaker 11: Thank you, guys.
• 37:30
  Speaker 5: First, let me preface this by.
• 37:31
  Speaker 11: Saying I'm really mad at myself.
• 37:34
  Speaker 7: So I'm going to say some things that are not
• 37:36
  Speaker 7: too kind to Justin Herbert here, but really it's more
• 37:39
  Speaker 7: mad at myself for getting in a bed with the
• 37:42
  Speaker 7: lousy Chargers and Herbert who do the.
• 37:44
  Speaker 11: Same thing every single year.
• 37:48
  Speaker 7: Now, I wanted to ignore Herbert and say because of Harbaugh,
• 37:54
  Speaker 7: I hate picking favorites. whether it be in a survivor pool,
• 37:57
  Speaker 7: whether it be the spread, whatever. I never pick favorites.
• 38:00
  Speaker 7: But week one, I'm like, ah, I like the Chargers
• 38:02
  Speaker 7: because of Harbaugh. How are they going to lose to
• 38:04
  Speaker 7: the Cardinals? They were one of the worst teams last year.
• 38:07
  Speaker 5: And then you.
• 38:07
  Speaker 7: Watch the game, and you see Jacoby Brissett significantly outplaying big,
• 38:12
  Speaker 7: bad Justin Herbert, who can't move and is eight feet
• 38:17
  Speaker 7: tall and yet still throws the ball directly into the
• 38:19
  Speaker 7: defensive lineman's hands.
• 38:21
  Speaker 5: What is wrong with this guy? I don't know. I
• 38:24
  Speaker 5: don't understand. But enough about Justin Herbert.
• 38:27
  Speaker 7: I think if Harbaugh wants to win, he's going to
• 38:28
  Speaker 7: have to find himself another quarterback in Los Angeles.
• 38:32
  Speaker 5: Really?
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: And now Herbert's out of excuses because Mike McDaniel was
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: the guy who was going to boost him up.
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: And Mike McDaniel appears.
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: I love doing this. They played one game. A single game.
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: And maybe Mike McDaniel will do that, but I don't care.
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: That's how fans react. We react based off of one week,
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: and I'll do the same thing next week. And if
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: he has a great game next week, perhaps I'll say
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: he's figured it out. But as of today, Justin Herbert,
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: for me, I'm with you, Sal, the most overrated quarterback
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: in the NFL.
• 38:57
  Speaker 7: But it's not just one week with him. With McDaniels, yes.
• 39:00
  Speaker 7: And I would expect the offense to be better, running
• 39:02
  Speaker 7: the football, all those different things. They'll play a much— I
• 39:05
  Speaker 7: would hope. I mean, they played a lousy game. It
• 39:07
  Speaker 7: wasn't just him. They've got to clean some things up,
• 39:09
  Speaker 7: and I trust Harbaugh and his staff to do that.
• 39:11
  Speaker 7: But with Herbert, too, even when he's at his best,
• 39:13
  Speaker 7: there's something off there with this guy. I don't know
• 39:17
  Speaker 7: what it is exactly. He's got the physical traits. I
• 39:20
  Speaker 7: don't think we're ever going to see him turn into,
• 39:22
  Speaker 7: let's say, Matthew Stafford. I don't think that's happening with Herbert.
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: Yes. You're right about the physical traits.
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: Like if you put all the quarterbacks in a room
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: and just ask like a gm or coach hey go
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: just based on physical appearance go choose your quarterback for
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: the next 10 years a lot of those guys are
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: walking out with justin herbert because he looks the part
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: there's no doubt about it what do you have tell
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: it Sal, I was.
• 39:43
  Speaker 4: Just going to ask you, how do you feel about
• 39:44
  Speaker 4: this headline from two days ago? It was Jim Harbaugh,
• 39:46
  Speaker 4: and he said, Justin Herbert will be remembered as the
• 39:50
  Speaker 4: greatest quarterback ever.
• 39:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 39:53
  Speaker 11: He's clearly trying to gas up his own guy.
• 39:56
  Speaker 7: Look, Harbaugh, he's going to attach his wagon to Justin Herbert?
• 40:01
  Speaker 7: He's going to be looking for another— he' ll be going back
• 40:03
  Speaker 7: to Michigan— if that's going to be the case.
• 40:05
  Speaker 5: They cannot win with Justin Herbert. Enough.
• 40:08
  Speaker 7: It's year two with Harbaugh there, right, with the Chargers.
• 40:11
  Speaker 7: He should be better than what he seemed. Is it
• 40:13
  Speaker 7: year two or is it year three? I get them
• 40:14
  Speaker 7: all mixed up. But either way, he should be better
• 40:16
  Speaker 7: by now.
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: Harbaugh and Herbert. They should both be better by now.
• 40:20
  Speaker 7: Well, I still love Harbaugh, Stu, but if he's going
• 40:24
  Speaker 7: to tell us with a straight face that Herbert is
• 40:26
  Speaker 7: that good, this guy won games with Colin Kaepernick years ago.
• 40:30
  Speaker 7: You're telling me Justin Herbert can't do anything good here?
• 40:34
  Speaker 7: It's been too long. He's got to be better than
• 40:36
  Speaker 7: what he's been. With the tools that he possesses, there's
• 40:39
  Speaker 7: no reason for the Chargers to continue to play the
• 40:41
  Speaker 7: same type games. over and over again he's got a
• 40:44
  Speaker 7: cannon he's a physical specimen as far as being the
• 40:47
  Speaker 7: size and the strength and all that stuff he he
• 40:49
  Speaker 7: just is i don't i just don't think he's very
• 40:51
  Speaker 7: good i think he's the most overrated quarterback that we've
• 40:54
  Speaker 7: seen in a while Yeah, this is.
• 40:56
  Speaker 4: Year three for Harbaugh. They went 11-6 2024, and then
• 41:00
  Speaker 4: 11-6 2025. So when's the next step being taken?
• 41:04
  Speaker 5: Like, it's the same stuff.
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: Yes, well, it's not going to be taken if Justin
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: Herbert's his quarterback, is what you're saying, right? He needs
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: to find a new one. How exactly are they going
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: to find a new one? They just signed Herbert to
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: a big deal. Like, he's stuck with them. They're saddled together.
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: That's it. It's a problem.
• 41:22
  Speaker 7: Now, I trust Harbaugh more than I would trust myself to,
• 41:25
  Speaker 7: you know, notice a good football player or not. But
• 41:28
  Speaker 7: just the way that he performs, he's got, okay, he
• 41:32
  Speaker 7: may have the tools.
• 41:33
  Speaker 5: And he may have a cannon. How about a little
• 41:34
  Speaker 5: bit of touch, dude?
• 41:36
  Speaker 7: He's throwing laser beams all over the field.
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: There's zero.
• 41:39
  Speaker 5: Taylor, you're a receiver. There's zero touch there.
• 41:42
  Speaker 11: There seems to be zero feel for the game. Just
• 41:45
  Speaker 11: something is off with this guy.
• 41:47
  Speaker 5: Hmm.
• 41:48
  Speaker 6: It seems to me you mentioned like Harbaugh knows what
• 41:51
  Speaker 6: he's looking at better than we do. It seems to
• 41:53
  Speaker 6: me like everybody who's supposed to be in the know
• 41:56
  Speaker 6: loves Justin Herbert.
• 41:57
  Speaker 5: But every time we watch it, we're like, this is
• 41:59
  Speaker 5: what it is.
• 42:00
  Speaker 6: This is what where everybody's fawning over who's supposed to
• 42:03
  Speaker 6: know what they're looking at.
• 42:04
  Speaker 5: Because every time I watch Justin Herbert, I'm.
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: Like, he's OK.
• 42:07
  Speaker 5: Right. Same with Trevor Lawrence. I put them in the
• 42:10
  Speaker 5: same category where they get.
• 42:11
  Speaker 6: Oh, you have to see the way he releases the
• 42:13
  Speaker 6: ball and everything he sees.
• 42:16
  Speaker 5: But it never translates. It never translates to wins on
• 42:19
  Speaker 5: the field like that.
• 42:20
  Speaker 7: But you could be seeing Lawrence now, and I'm not
• 42:22
  Speaker 7: going to overreact to week one, but last year with
• 42:24
  Speaker 7: Liam Cohen, they were very good. And then in week
• 42:27
  Speaker 7: one this year, an eye-opening performance. When Lawrence was coming out,
• 42:32
  Speaker 7: it was supposed to be, oh, my God, he's going
• 42:33
  Speaker 7: to be the next best thing since Peyton Manning. It
• 42:35
  Speaker 7: didn't happen. But now we're seeing the progression. Where is
• 42:38
  Speaker 7: the progression with Justin Herbert?
• 42:40
  Speaker 4: The opposite end of that spectrum that you just mentioned, Mikey,
• 42:43
  Speaker 4: where everybody props up Justin Herbert and Trevor Lawrence, the
• 42:48
  Speaker 4: opposite end of that is Jalen Hurts because Jalen Hurts,
• 42:51
  Speaker 4: people pick apart his game left and right.
• 42:54
  Speaker 5: I don't.
• 42:54
  Speaker 4: And then every time you watch the Eagles, it's like, oh, wait,
• 42:57
  Speaker 4: the Eagles just won and Jalen Hurts is winning another
• 43:00
  Speaker 4: Super Bowl.
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: All he does is win.
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: Listen, one day I'll get to side-by-side comparisons of the
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: last four years of Jalen Hurts and Patrick Mahomes.
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: I will.
• 43:08
  Speaker 3: I'll get to it.
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: And show you that Jalen Hurts has been a better
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: quarterback than Patrick Mahomes over the last four seasons in
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: the NFL.
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: Or you guys can look it up yourselves and save
• 43:18
  Speaker 3: me the work.
• 43:18
  Speaker 5: I mean... I'm good.
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: Dan, where are you on Jalen Hurts? He's a winner,
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: that guy. I would love for that guy to be
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: my quarterback. Although, if he were the Jets quarterback, we'd
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: be losers. Jalen Hurts, I'm fine with. He's a winner.
• 43:35
  Speaker 8: I don't know if they're going to win big this year,
• 43:39
  Speaker 8: but he does win football games. Yesterday, three touchdown passes.
• 43:42
  Speaker 3: I think he.
• 43:43
  Speaker 8: Just, you know, clipped 200 yards in what he did.
• 43:47
  Speaker 8: But when they needed a score to answer after what
• 43:49
  Speaker 8: Washington did, finds Dallas Goddard, and the rest is history.
• 43:52
  Speaker 8: So it didn't look like they missed A.J. Brown yesterday.
• 43:55
  Speaker 8: So I have no problems with Jalen Hurts. I've never
• 43:57
  Speaker 8: had really problems with Jalen Hurts.
• 43:59
  Speaker 3: The problem that I would have, though. How about that?
• 44:02
  Speaker 7: If you move, Stu, you gave me this one before,
• 44:05
  Speaker 7: but if you put what we're talking about, Cam Ward
• 44:07
  Speaker 7: and Patrick Mahomes or whatever it was, if you put
• 44:09
  Speaker 7: Jalen Hurts on the Titans or the Browns or whatever,
• 44:14
  Speaker 7: is he going to elevate them the way that the
• 44:17
  Speaker 7: great quarterbacks would elevate a franchise?
• 44:20
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: It's a great question. Probably not. I mean, they have
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: a great defense, great offensive line, running game with Saquon Barkley.
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: They've had wide receivers. They still have wide receivers. I'm
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: not certain if you put Hurts on a team like
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: the Titans that the Titans automatically become good.
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: In fact, my guess is no.
• 44:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and that's kind of the point.
• 44:40
  Speaker 7: I mean, maybe the Titans are an extreme, but even
• 44:42
  Speaker 7: if you put him on a mediocre team, would.
• 44:44
  Speaker 11: He have as much success? And I'm not trying to
• 44:46
  Speaker 11: knock hurts.
• 44:46
  Speaker 5: I like him. I just don't. I've never watched him
• 44:50
  Speaker 5: once and thought to myself, wow.
• 44:52
  Speaker 7: This guy is that type level where he's done that
• 44:55
  Speaker 7: type winning.
• 44:56
  Speaker 5: But I think he's that type level.
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: But that's on us. I mean, he's outplayed Patrick Mahomes
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: in not one but two Super Bowls.
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: I mean, he did.
• 45:02
  Speaker 7: Right, but again, don't you think that that's more what's
• 45:05
  Speaker 7: around him as opposed to him versus Mahomes?
• 45:09
  Speaker 5: Perhaps.
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: Mahomes had some good people around him as well. And listen,
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: Mahomes won one of those games. I'm just saying Hurts
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: outplayed him in that game.
• 45:17
  Speaker 3: What do you have, Dan?
• 45:17
  Speaker 8: Are the Philadelphia Eagles unstoppable if Justin Herbert's their quarterback?
• 45:22
  Speaker 3: Oh, God. Are the Falcons unstoppable if Justin Herbert's the quarterback?
• 45:25
  Speaker 8: The reason I say that is because, listen, I think
• 45:29
  Speaker 8: that there's only a certain amount of people that we're
• 45:30
  Speaker 8: going to look at and talk about, like the greatness
• 45:33
  Speaker 8: of quarterbacks. I don't think that Jalen Hurts is one
• 45:35
  Speaker 8: of those guys. I think he works for Philadelphia and, yeah,
• 45:38
  Speaker 8: has probably the best offensive line any team in the
• 45:40
  Speaker 8: NFL has had over the last five years or whatever
• 45:43
  Speaker 8: it's been. So there are obviously pluses with it. But
• 45:46
  Speaker 8: I think Justin Herbert, to kind of go back to
• 45:48
  Speaker 8: that conversation, we're looking at Justin Herbert as that quarterback
• 45:53
  Speaker 8: that is a generational or one that we're going to
• 45:56
  Speaker 8: talk about like we did with Breeze, Manning, Brady, Roethlisberger, Rivers.
• 46:00
  Speaker 8: And he's not even to that point just yet. I
• 46:03
  Speaker 8: don't know if we can put Jalen Hurts or if
• 46:04
  Speaker 8: we ever will put him in that quarterback conversation. you know,
• 46:08
  Speaker 8: with some of the greats. But I feel like Justin
• 46:10
  Speaker 8: Herbert felt like he was being fast-tracked to that conversation
• 46:13
  Speaker 8: and has been stuck in neutral for, like, the last
• 46:16
  Speaker 8: couple of years.
• 46:17
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 46:17
  Speaker 4: So, Dan, I don't know how Justin Herbert would look
• 46:19
  Speaker 4: on the Eagles, but what I do know is that
• 46:22
  Speaker 4: Dan Orlovsky would be caping up for Justin Herbert, telling
• 46:24
  Speaker 4: us that it was going to be the greatest thing
• 46:26
  Speaker 4: he's ever seen since sliced bread.
• 46:30
  Speaker 3: Orlovsky and Harbaugh.
• 46:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and the second they lose, it's like, oh, the
• 46:33
  Speaker 4: Eagles offensive line is actually not as good as you
• 46:35
  Speaker 4: think they are.
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: Yes, Al.
• 46:39
  Speaker 7: No, what we talk about, well, was Cam Ward or
• 46:41
  Speaker 7: is Cam Ward in a position to succeed? I do
• 46:43
  Speaker 7: believe Herbert now with Harbaugh, especially with McDaniels, he is
• 46:49
  Speaker 7: in a position to But three years now, or this
• 46:53
  Speaker 7: is year three, as you said before, with him under Harbaugh, I.
• 46:57
  Speaker 5: Just don't see it. I need to see. I see
• 47:00
  Speaker 5: a strong arm. I see a big body.
• 47:03
  Speaker 7: I don't see a winning quarterback that can make big throws,
• 47:07
  Speaker 7: that can put touch on the football when needed. I
• 47:10
  Speaker 7: just don't see it from Herbert. And when you compare that,
• 47:13
  Speaker 7: it's all relative to the expectations. The expectations were through
• 47:15
  Speaker 7: the roof for him. I'm not even seeing a mediocre
• 47:18
  Speaker 7: quarterback with Justin Herbert at this point.
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: All right, let's get to Taylor's winners and losers from
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: a week one here in the NFL.
• 47:25
  Speaker 3: Give me the music. How about that? What do you got, Taylor?
• 47:34
  Speaker 5: My first winner.
• 47:36
  Speaker 4: Josh Allen, because I don't think we're talking enough today
• 47:39
  Speaker 4: about how much he got bailed out with Kamari Lasseter
• 47:43
  Speaker 4: dropping that pick in the end zone where Josh Allen
• 47:45
  Speaker 4: throws that ball up and everybody's like, whoa, that's the
• 47:48
  Speaker 4: only thing you can't do in that situation.
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: Yes, it reminded me a few years ago, if you
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: remember Stafford on his Super Bowl run, just threw a
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: duck up at the air and someone on Tampa should
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: have picked.
• 47:59
  Speaker 3: It off and the game would have been over and
• 48:01
  Speaker 3: Stafford never wins a Super Bowl. He dropped it. We
• 48:03
  Speaker 3: forget those plays all the time, man.
• 48:06
  Speaker 5: I know that they're professionals and I know they always
• 48:08
  Speaker 5: do that. Oh, we'll pick each other up. And it's
• 48:10
  Speaker 5: not about one guy. It's one flight. But if you're
• 48:13
  Speaker 5: on the Texans, you got to be looking at Lassiter
• 48:14
  Speaker 5: different today, right? He was terrible. You got to just
• 48:16
  Speaker 5: be looking at him side.
• 48:17
  Speaker 6: I'd just be like, you know, you cost us the game.
• 48:22
  Speaker 3: What exactly are you saying here? That the Texans are
• 48:26
  Speaker 3: looking at him now?
• 48:26
  Speaker 6: He's probably the most hated person in the locker room
• 48:29
  Speaker 6: right now, and nobody will say it because they're all
• 48:31
  Speaker 6: going to be good professionals and good teammates, but everybody.
• 48:33
  Speaker 5: Hates him tonight.
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: Taylor, put it on the poll. Do the Texans secretly
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: and quietly hate Lassiter?
• 48:39
  Speaker 4: My biggest loser today. father time derrick henry is absolutely
• 48:45
  Speaker 4: whooping father time right now derrick henry finishes 24 carries
• 48:49
  Speaker 4: 144 yards and three.
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: Touchdowns father time is undefeated not anymore not anymore.
• 48:54
  Speaker 7: How old is he henry he's always looked old but
• 48:57
  Speaker 7: he's 32 but in running back years that's like yeah
• 49:00
  Speaker 7: 65 yeah right.
• 49:01
  Speaker 6: Yeah it's not like he doesn't have low mileage on
• 49:04
  Speaker 6: those 32 years is he any years.
• 49:05
  Speaker 5: Old George years.
• 49:09
  Speaker 4: He's my Honda civic with 300,000 miles on it. Chugging along.
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: Is he third all time and touchdowns that for running
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: backs third, I think Derek Edward.
• 49:19
  Speaker 4: My next winner. We're staying in the AFC North, the bangles.
• 49:23
  Speaker 4: I think the bangles have a complete roster.
• 49:25
  Speaker 7: Oh, do you say that finally the defense with sexy decks?
• 49:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah. I like boy Moffay that they got from the Seahawks.
• 49:34
  Speaker 4: A lot of guys that they got this off season
• 49:36
  Speaker 4: made an instant impact in week one.
• 49:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Taylor, this is just for you, and we can
• 49:41
  Speaker 5: put it on the poll if you want.
• 49:42
  Speaker 6: Will Stugatz's head explode if it's Joe Burrow versus Caleb
• 49:45
  Speaker 6: Williams in the Super Bowl?
• 49:46
  Speaker 5: Oh, that's a win-win.
• 49:47
  Speaker 3: It really is. I take it over the Jets.
• 49:51
  Speaker 4: They'll be floating that week at Radio Row.
• 49:55
  Speaker 5: My two guys.
• 49:58
  Speaker 4: My next biggest loser, Stefan Diggs.
• 50:03
  Speaker 8: Ah.
• 50:04
  Speaker 4: Now, Stefan Diggs has a redemption where he scores a
• 50:09
  Speaker 4: touchdown and they're down by two. And I don't think
• 50:13
  Speaker 4: this cost them the game because there was so much
• 50:15
  Speaker 4: game left after it. But Stefan Diggs scoring and then
• 50:19
  Speaker 4: doing the celebration where he goes and hugs the goalposts
• 50:22
  Speaker 4: and immediately getting flagged, it's like... We brought you here
• 50:26
  Speaker 4: to the commanders to kind of be the adult in
• 50:28
  Speaker 4: the room at the receiver position.
• 50:29
  Speaker 3: He never is.
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 50:30
  Speaker 4: You can't, you can't bring Stefan Diggs.
• 50:33
  Speaker 5: When you need an adult in the room.
• 50:36
  Speaker 6: Just remember the commanders were trying to get Brandon Ayuk
• 50:39
  Speaker 6: and they'd settled for Stefan Diggs.
• 50:41
  Speaker 5: Maybe they don't know what a, what an adult in
• 50:43
  Speaker 5: the room.
• 50:45
  Speaker 7: What an idiotic, selfish penalty by Diggs. But is anybody surprised?
• 50:50
  Speaker 7: A clear situation where you need to go for two,
• 50:52
  Speaker 7: and he's selfishly hugging the pole, sliding down it like
• 50:55
  Speaker 7: a fire pole. I mean, come on.
• 50:56
  Speaker 4: And he was walking back to the sideline after like, yeah,
• 50:59
  Speaker 4: but the touchdown was pretty cool.
• 51:00
  Speaker 5: Guys, right?
• 51:00
  Speaker 3: That's all he cares about.
• 51:05
  Speaker 5: My next winner. One more winner, one more loser.
• 51:07
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 51:08
  Speaker 4: Last winner, Justin Jefferson. Eight catches, 92 yards, two touchdowns.
• 51:15
  Speaker 4: It's always a mess, that Minnesota quarterback room.
• 51:18
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 51:18
  Speaker 4: But every once in a while, Justin Jefferson kind of
• 51:20
  Speaker 4: reminds everybody, like, don't forget about me when you're talking
• 51:23
  Speaker 4: about who's the best wide receiver.
• 51:25
  Speaker 5: In the NFL.
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 51:25
  Speaker 3: He made Carson Wentz look good.
• 51:27
  Speaker 5: He did. My last loser.
• 51:33
  Speaker 4: Yep. Browns fans that game was over yes within the
• 51:39
  Speaker 4: first two drives and it's like all Browns fans got
• 51:42
  Speaker 4: into or went into week one saying we know what
• 51:44
  Speaker 4: this team is going to be we know what Deshaun
• 51:46
  Speaker 4: Watson's going to look like week one why are we
• 51:48
  Speaker 4: even playing Deshaun Watson and the Browns are like no
• 51:50
  Speaker 4: this is Deshaun Watson's redemption story oh so much for
• 51:53
  Speaker 4: that redemption story Shador Sanders is going to be starting
• 51:55
  Speaker 4: by week three.
• 51:55
  Speaker 3: Right but they're getting Deshaun starts over with before they
• 51:58
  Speaker 3: go home I mean.
• 51:58
  Speaker 11: It's And you hear Monken today doubling.
• 52:02
  Speaker 3: Down on it.
• 52:02
  Speaker 11: My God, I do feel bad for Browns fans.
• 52:04
  Speaker 5: There is no hope.
• 52:06
  Speaker 7: With that guy as the head coach sticking with that
• 52:08
  Speaker 7: guy as the quarterback, that's a wrap on this year
• 52:10
  Speaker 7: and probably next year too.
• 52:12
  Speaker 3: You wait your entire life to get a head coaching
• 52:14
  Speaker 3: job and you put your trust into Sean Watson. Good
• 52:18
  Speaker 3: decision like five years ago. Yeah, Mikey.
• 52:21
  Speaker 6: If you want to beat the traffic coming home from
• 52:23
  Speaker 6: a Browns stadium, you have to stay the whole game.
• 52:25
  Speaker 5: Is that how you beat the traffic?
• 52:28
  Speaker 3: Put it on the poll.
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: To beat the traffic in Cleveland after a Browns game,
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: do you have to stay until the final whistle?
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of Stu Gatz and
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: Company live weekdays at 3 p.m.
• 52:43
  Speaker 5: Eastern, 12 p.m. Pacific.
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: We'll get to Sherman Oaks and Dan Byer in the
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: update here in just a second. Taylor, you swore to
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: us that you would not watch a second of the
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: Falcons-Steelers game because Cooper Rush was playing quarterback in that game.
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: And it seems like the Falcons, who have a very
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: talented team, no one wants to play quarterback for them.
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: But did you watch any of that game, the Falcons
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: and Steelers?
• 53:06
  Speaker 5: No, I kept my word.
• 53:07
  Speaker 4: I was going to remain steadfast that I was not
• 53:09
  Speaker 4: turning that game on. I was not going to waste
• 53:11
  Speaker 4: a second of trying to find my remote and figuring
• 53:14
  Speaker 4: out putting on that Steelers-Falcons game.
• 53:17
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 53:18
  Speaker 4: I got my fix when I'm watching the Jets-Titans game
• 53:21
  Speaker 4: on my one-screen TV of just the occasional cut-in of B.
• 53:26
  Speaker 4: John Robinson doing something breathtaking.
• 53:30
  Speaker 3: He's on my fantasy team. The Falcons are going to
• 53:32
  Speaker 3: kill that poor man.
• 53:33
  Speaker 4: He's good for one 50-plus-yard play every game.
• 53:37
  Speaker 5: Which is awesome.
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: Yes, he had a touchdown yesterday. They lost, but he
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: did enough for me. Cooper Rush is bad, huh, Sal?
• 53:47
  Speaker 3: Dude. Okay.
• 53:49
  Speaker 7: Now, not only— I just want another preface here from me.
• 53:53
  Speaker 7: Not only did I grow up a Falcons fan. I
• 53:55
  Speaker 7: really don't even care that much about them anymore since
• 53:57
  Speaker 7: the Super Bowl. But I believed— That the public was
• 54:01
  Speaker 7: overvaluing in this particular game the Steelers and minimizing Atlanta
• 54:05
  Speaker 7: and their weapons. And like Cooper Rush, I'd be lying
• 54:08
  Speaker 7: if I said I really watched him play a lot.
• 54:10
  Speaker 7: But like I saw that he won some games as
• 54:11
  Speaker 7: a backup with the Cowboys, won some games as a
• 54:14
  Speaker 7: backup with the Ravens. And I'm like, well, how bad
• 54:15
  Speaker 7: can this guy be? Tua's been awful. Maybe it's going
• 54:18
  Speaker 7: to be an upgrade. And then I made the mistake
• 54:21
  Speaker 7: on Mike Taylor where I watched this game.
• 54:24
  Speaker 10: It was part of the four box.
• 54:26
  Speaker 7: I had this game on. I was locked in. I
• 54:28
  Speaker 7: actually bet on the stupid Atlanta Falcons. Plus six and
• 54:31
  Speaker 7: a half, money line, whatever. This guy, Cooper Rush, played
• 54:36
  Speaker 7: the worst game I have ever seen. Like I said before,
• 54:39
  Speaker 7: Herbert stinks. It's relative.
• 54:41
  Speaker 5: Herbert stinks, but like Cooper Rush.
• 54:43
  Speaker 7: Doesn't belong anywhere near an NFL football field. He basically
• 54:48
  Speaker 7: was handing the ball off to TJ Watt the entire game.
• 54:51
  Speaker 7: They missed two field goals. He threw two picks. They
• 54:53
  Speaker 7: still should have beaten the Steelers.
• 54:55
  Speaker 5: Taylor, I'm with you.
• 54:56
  Speaker 7: If Cooper rushes the quarterback again next week, I am
• 54:59
  Speaker 7: not watching the Falcons anymore until they get a real
• 55:01
  Speaker 7: quarterback in there.
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: This is a take that seems like it's drenched in
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: gambling losses. I mean, just soaked in gambling losses. I mean,
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: no one's this angry about Cooper Rush unless they were
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: dumb enough about the Falcons yesterday.
• 55:13
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Sal put on the sheet, Cooper Rush is the
• 55:16
  Speaker 6: worst quarterback I've ever seen. And I'm like, did we
• 55:18
  Speaker 6: not live in a word with Trevor Simeon or Nathan Peterman?
• 55:22
  Speaker 6: And I'm sitting there going like, why would he say
• 55:24
  Speaker 6: Cooper Rush was that bad?
• 55:25
  Speaker 5: And then I hear his take and I'm like, oh,
• 55:27
  Speaker 5: it's gambling losses too.
• 55:28
  Speaker 3: Got it.
• 55:28
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: He's the most recent quarterback that costs sound money.
• 55:33
  Speaker 5: No.
• 55:35
  Speaker 4: Sal, is this Cooper rushes or is this the Falcons
• 55:38
  Speaker 4: decision-makers fault? Because you went into a season with an
• 55:42
  Speaker 4: injury prone to an injury prone, Michael Pennix. And then
• 55:46
  Speaker 4: week one shows up and it's like, Where, where's Tua?
• 55:48
  Speaker 4: Where's Michael Penix? Oh, the two injury prone quarterbacks are injured.
• 55:52
  Speaker 4: And then you have Cooper Rush a couple of days
• 55:53
  Speaker 4: before the game where they're saying he's experiencing back spasm.
• 55:56
  Speaker 4: And it's like, oh man, you're not even going to
• 55:58
  Speaker 4: get a hundred percent Cooper Rush.
• 56:00
  Speaker 7: They should have then just went with whoever the emergency
• 56:02
  Speaker 7: quarterback was and did the wildcat.
• 56:05
  Speaker 5: They would have worked. What does Matt Ryan think? And
• 56:07
  Speaker 5: I love Matty Ice. He's now running the show down there.
• 56:09
  Speaker 7: How do you go from spending a gazillion dollars on
• 56:13
  Speaker 7: Kirk Cousins, picking Michael Penix in the first round, bringing
• 56:17
  Speaker 7: in Tua to have Cooper freaking rush starting week one
• 56:22
  Speaker 7: of a new NFL season? And it's not just because
• 56:24
  Speaker 7: I lost the bet or was wrong about the pick
• 56:25
  Speaker 7: or I'm a Falcon fan. Legitimately, this guy could not
• 56:29
  Speaker 7: make a throw. He kept throwing it to the Steelers.
• 56:33
  Speaker 7: They should have had more interceptions. He was an embarrassment.
• 56:36
  Speaker 7: I've seen awful quarterback play in my life, whether it's
• 56:39
  Speaker 7: with the Jets, the Giants, the Falcons, you name it.
• 56:42
  Speaker 7: This was beyond— I can't believe that they put him in
• 56:47
  Speaker 7: a position to take the field in an NFL game.
• 56:50
  Speaker 3: What a bad beat. Yeah, Dan.
• 56:51
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 56:52
  Speaker 8: If he could throw, his name would be Cooper Pass.
• 56:56
  Speaker 3: There you go. What? He got it for that?
• 56:58
  Speaker 8: That was good. Great job.
• 57:03
  Speaker 3: You feel good about that?
• 57:05
  Speaker 8: Just a drop Sam likes to play. Way too much,
• 57:08
  Speaker 8: by the way, on my dad. I love it.
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: Speaking of pass, I'm going to pass it to you
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: in Sherman Oaks. Dan Beyer with a sports update.
• 57:17
  Speaker 8: I do want to add one thing to Taylor's wins
• 57:19
  Speaker 8: and losses.
• 57:19
  Speaker 5: For the weekend.
• 57:20
  Speaker 8: How about Carolina when it's mid 90s on artificial surface?
• 57:25
  Speaker 8: They're like, yeah, we'll wear our black pants and black
• 57:27
  Speaker 8: helmet and dark blue jerseys.
• 57:29
  Speaker 3: My goodness.
• 57:30
  Speaker 8: Like every NFL team. I was like, maybe we'll wear
• 57:32
  Speaker 8: white week one because it's going to be hot.
• 57:34
  Speaker 3: Not Carolina.
• 57:36
  Speaker 8: Not when you're playing in an oven in Charlotte. Bears
• 57:38
  Speaker 8: put up 59 on them.
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: Uh taylor you see what uh sark had to say
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: by the way well since we were talking about him
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: earlier what'd he say ohio state should be commended for
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: playing texas.
• 57:48
  Speaker 12: I mean because they just they all stick to the
• 57:52
  Speaker 12: same script like ryan day comes out today and was
• 57:55
  Speaker 12: like oh you don't want us to play texas we're
• 57:57
  Speaker 12: fine playing youngstown state if that's what people really want.
• 58:01
  Speaker 5: Nope no apology in there stew to holly row that's
• 58:03
  Speaker 5: what i care.
• 58:04
  Speaker 3: About No, or Laura Rutledge. No apologies.
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: He blew off two sideline reports. He has an obligation
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: to do it. You guys are right. Everyone has a
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: right to be upset over Sork not doing that. He
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: has a media obligation. That's part of the deal. It's
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: why ESPN, ABC is paying so much money for the rights.
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: Part of the reason they want the games, but that's
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: just a perk of having the games, is you get
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: the coach coming off during halftime and after a big victory,
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: and he blew him off twice.
• 58:30
  Speaker 3: Bad job by Sork.
• 58:31
  Speaker 11: It was just rude to me. Now, back to that. Like,
• 58:34
  Speaker 11: don't we all know? Like, why does he got to
• 58:36
  Speaker 11: remind us?
• 58:37
  Speaker 7: Oh, well, credit to Ohio State. Like, we all know
• 58:40
  Speaker 7: Ohio State's good and Texas is good. I'd rather see
• 58:42
  Speaker 7: those games. And they're not going to be penalized to
• 58:44
  Speaker 7: the death penalty for losing a game, especially with the
• 58:47
  Speaker 7: playoff now. Like, what do they need to explain themselves for?
• 58:50
  Speaker 7: We could see it with our own eyes who they're playing.
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: I think what Sark is trying, he's laying the groundwork.
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: He's a big resume guy. That's what I'm saying.
• 58:57
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: No, but he's setting the groundwork for when he loses
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: three games, he still wants to make it to the playoff.
• 59:02
  Speaker 3: Oh, I got you. I got you.
• 59:04
  Speaker 5: Building up Ohio State, right.
• 59:06
  Speaker 4: Ohio State's loss this past weekend was better than any
• 59:09
  Speaker 4: other team's win. this past weekend. That's basically what Sark
• 59:12
  Speaker 4: is arguing.
• 59:12
  Speaker 3: Yes. It's a good argument. I don't mind it. Like,
• 59:15
  Speaker 3: it's fair. Totally fair, right? I agree.
• 59:17
  Speaker 7: Who do Miami play? Like, look at some of the— what
• 59:19
  Speaker 7: about Georgia? Like, I'm not trying to minimize them, but
• 59:21
  Speaker 7: that's what college football is. You get 50-point spreads regularly
• 59:25
  Speaker 7: throughout the course. When you get a rare good game
• 59:27
  Speaker 7: like that, it's intriguing.
• 59:29
  Speaker 5: I'd rather that.
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: I was more impressed with that Ohio State loss than
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: I was with just about any win this weekend.
• 59:35
  Speaker 5: Seriously.
• 59:35
  Speaker 3: I mean, they were on the road in Texas.
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: I know they blew a lead, but they're on the
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: road against Texas, a very good football team. They lost
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: a very close game. And that's all Sark is saying.
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: Don't hold it against them because they scheduled us.
• 59:46
  Speaker 3: And that's it. And I agree.
• 59:48
  Speaker 4: Sal, I made a catastrophic mistake when it comes to
• 59:51
  Speaker 4: radio last week.
• 59:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he heard it.
• 59:54
  Speaker 5: I admitted, no.
• 59:56
  Speaker 3: Not that one? Not that one. A different one. Okay, sorry.
• 59:59
  Speaker 3: There's so many.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 4: What I did, Sal, was I admitted I was wrong.
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 4: I watched the Oklahoma State-Tulsa game after Oklahoma State was
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 4: my darling in the preseason. And when they lose to Tulsa,
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 4: I came in here and I said, hand up, guys.
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 4: I couldn't have been more wrong about this team. And
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 4: then by admitting I was so wrong, I sold all
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 4: my stocks on this Oklahoma State team.
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 3: Not your socks, your socks.
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 4: I didn't sell my socks. I'm still wearing my socks.
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 4: But I sold my stocks when it comes to this
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 4: Oklahoma State team. And then, of course, what happens? Oklahoma
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 4: State has arguably the win of the weekend upsetting Oregon
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 4: and Dan Lanning.
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 7: The mistake was not apologizing. The mistake was getting off
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 7: your original pick too soon. Like I was trying to
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 7: say last week, if you believe something, stick it out
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 7: a little bit longer.
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 11: And obviously you jumped off that bandwagon. Now you can't
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 11: get credit for it. There's no going back.
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 5: No backsies.
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 6: Nope.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 3: Mike Gundy and them boys.
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 5: Not Mike Gundy.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: It was the joke. I was shocked that he's still
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: not the Oklahoma State coach.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 3: I thought he would. Anyway, he did that, Sal, just
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 3: to get me to Dan Lanning. That's why he did it.
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: He set me up to rip Dan Lanning because he
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: wants me to rip Dan Lanning because Dan Lanning's annoying.
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 3: Dan Lanning.
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 5: 90 minutes before kickoff.
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: How about you stop palling around and having a chuckle
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: fest with Pat McAfee and the entire game day crew
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: and Nick Saban.
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 3: And focus on the football game.
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: He is sitting there. He's mic'd up for sound. He's
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: walking across the field. He's yucking it up with McAfee.
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: He's got a football in his hand. And then McAfee,
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: of course, because he has endless amounts of money, challenged
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: him to hit the goalpost with a football and he
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: would give $ 500, 000 to a charity. Now, I'm all for
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: raising money for a charity, but I'm also all for
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: a football coach focusing on the game that takes place
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: in 90 minutes. Not trying to hit a goal post
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: that once, not twice, but three separate times with McAfee
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: and the game day crew. Imagine if Dan Lanning walks
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: out on that field. And 90 minutes before kickoff, one
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: of his players is yucking it up with Pat McAfee,
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: trying to raise money for charity and doing everything but
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: being focused on the opponent and the game that is
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: coming up in 90 minutes at Stillwater. That guy would
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: get ripped by Dan Lanning. And there's Dan Lanning out
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: there because no one could yell at him. There is
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: Lanning out on the field, not focused on the opponent,
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: not focused on his team, not focused on the game.
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 3: He is focused on making Pat McAfee laugh.
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 5: Enough. Terrible.
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 3: Terrible job by Lanning.
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 5: Taylor, I feel good. Sue, that was great.
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 7: I just feel bad ripping a guy who's doing the
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 7: charitable thing.
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: Listen, you're making $ 10 million a year. By the way, McAfee, $ 500, 000.
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: Lanning tossed in an extra $ 50, 000. I mean, how about
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: just peel off a check for charity and focus on
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: the football game?
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 3: How does that sound?
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 4: So I've had one eye on Dan Lanning ever since
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 4: he got to Eugene, where everybody's praising him being the
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 4: next golden boy in college football. And his results leave
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 4: a lot to be desired. And I think I've just
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 4: come to the conclusion that Dan Lanning is the Nick
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 4: Saban of Mike Norvell's.
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 5: Can I make a confession to you guys?
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 7: You're live on national radio.
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah, go ahead.
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 3: You don't care about Oregon?
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 7: I had no idea who Dan Lanning was until I
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 7: looked it up. In the middle of that rant— I
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 7: was like, who the hell is Dan Lanning?
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 11: Oregon head coach.
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 3: Okay. Now, Mikey is putting his hand in his face
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 3: here because we're on national radio. No, I had to
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 3: learn this as well.
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: Sal grew up in an area where no one cares
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: about Dan Lanning. And I'm starting to wonder why I
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: care this much about Dan Lanning. I mean, the man
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: was raising a half million dollars for charity, and I'm sitting.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 5: Here ripping Dan Lanning.
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 3: I mean, he did a good thing right up until
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 3: he lost Oklahoma State.
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 5: Would you have ripped him?
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 3: I'd be totally fine with it.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 3: Good job by Dan.
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 5: What a good guy.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 4: I think there is a conversation to be have that
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 4: Dante Moore. skips the NFL draft last year because the
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 4: premise was basically, I don't want to go to the Jets.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 4: Now it looks like Dante Moore is going to avoid
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 4: the first round entirely next year because everybody's having questions
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 4: about him. And I think there is a conversation to
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 4: be had that he loses his OC. His OC takes
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 4: the head coaching job at Kentucky. I think you can
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 4: have the conversation today. Should Dante Moore, if he didn't
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 4: want to go to the Jets, if he didn't, if
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 4: he would so foot down, I'm not going to the Jets.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 4: you should have at least considered going with your offensive
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 4: coordinator to Kentucky.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 5: Stu, you said stop. Like that doesn't happen.
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 6: Like last year, preseason, we weren't talking about Nussmeyer or
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 6: Klubnick going top five and none of them went in
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 6: the first round. Like Dante Moore could legitimately fall to
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 6: the third, fourth and fifth round with how bad he's
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 6: been two weeks in.
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 6: And then you add that the fact that he's saying
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 6: he's a quarterback who's suffering from anxiety. Like that's not
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 6: a quarterback I want coming to New York. I don't
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 6: want a quarterback who's worried about playing in Eugene, Oregon.
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 5: Coming to New York. This actually happens.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 3: That's totally fair.
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: But I do trust Todd McShay, who says he's the
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: best quarterback in college football. Like, I trust his scouting.
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 5: He said that three weeks ago.
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 3: Before those two games.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: I understand that. And that could change, and maybe it
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: will as the season rolls on. But again, and I'm
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: sitting here and I'm overreacting to everything because it's fun
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: to do on a Monday after one week of NFL football.
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 3: But they played three games.
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 2: I mean.
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: They've played three games. That's all I'm saying. Maybe he
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: will slip out. Maybe he will fall out of the
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: first round.
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 3: I have no idea. It's just three games, though.
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 7: They change all the time. Remember Drew Aller a couple
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 7: years ago was like, oh, my God.
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 8: Drew Aller.
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 5: I can't wait to get my hands on him.
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 11: And then he stays in college the next year.
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 8: It's like.
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 7: You can't find him. Where is Drew Aller? So those
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 7: things change so quickly. He had a chance last year,
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 7: and he didn't want it. And now he's got to
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 7: pay the consequences. You gamble on yourself or whatever the
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 7: proper term there is with college kids, and you know what?
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 7: Now he may pay the price.
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 3: Who's the quarterback?
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: When you think of quarterbacks who stayed one year too long,
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: I think of Matt Leinart. I know they went to
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: the championship game. They were going for a three-peat. But
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: Matt Leinart, if he left after his junior year, was
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: going to be a top five pick in the draft.
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 3: He stayed. He didn't have a great year. They had
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 3: a great year. I know.
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: But, Mikey, that's a big difference between top three and 13.
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 1: I mean... Just last.
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 6: Year, Nussmeyer, Klubnick, both of them, if they would have
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 6: come out last year in the draft, the year before
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 6: last year in the draft, they're probably top 10 to
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 6: 15 picks. They go back to school. They're talked about. Oh,
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 6: these guys are going to be... And they both stunk.
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 5: And they both fell in.
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 6: they didn't fall spots like like liner they fell rounds.
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 4: If it's not liner i would say you would you
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 4: would stay at usc and it's probably matt barkley who
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 4: came back for his senior year because he was like
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 4: i think usc could win a national title and then
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 4: barkley got so hurt his shoulder that he fell all
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 4: the way in the fourth round in 2013 yes uh.
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 1: Sal i'm so proud of you for admitting to a
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 1: national audience that you had no idea who dan lanning.
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 5: Was it's a big step for you i wouldn't have
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 5: done it i.
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 3: I get it.
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 11: What's the worst that could happen?
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 4: I get fired again.
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 11: I mean, I'm not worried about it.
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 3: I'm not going to fire you. I'm proud of you.
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 3: I've been saying forever that you in your car. Okay.
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: There are people driving in their car all over this
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: country who know more about sports than the people on
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: the microphones. And it's okay to acknowledge that and admit it.
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: I've been doing it my entire career.
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 5: They do.
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 3: They care about it more than we do sometimes.
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean, look, have I heard of his name?
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 5: Maybe, but I totally blanked on it.
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 7: So, yeah, I'm not afraid to admit that. Wouldn't you
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 7: rather me be honest with you? I'm not going to pretend.
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 7: I could easily just go to my phone and go
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 7: to Safari. Oh, yeah, Dan Lanning, you know, he's been
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 7: here since 2022. He's 56 and 48. Like, yeah, you
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 7: don't want that. I was honest with you.
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 3: I lied as well. I really thought Mike Gundy was
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 3: still coaching at Oklahoma State.
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 5: We all knew, though.
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: Before we get to last night's game and a big
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 1: football weekend coming up, I have to update the audience.
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 3: I lied to them. It won't be the last time.
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 1: But I did say during one of the podcasts that
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: Israel Gutierrez would be with us today.
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 5: I lied.
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 3: He'll be with us on Monday. OK, so Izzy is
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 3: coming back on Monday.
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: Let's get to last night's game before Bear joins us
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 1: here because we have a big college football weekend coming up.
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: He's been on fire, Mikey. I got to give Bear
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: credit because people criticize him. Israel criticizes him all the time.
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: Bear has been on fire recently, has he not?
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 5: He's been good. He's the bear.
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 6: And when he misses, you don't look a gift horse
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 6: in the mouth and then say, hey, that sucked.
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 3: Taylor, what were your thoughts last night?
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 1: I was surprised to learn earlier today that Mikey is
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: not a big fan of Josh Allen.
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 3: What were your thoughts?
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 1: What were your thoughts on last night's game? That man
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 1: has nine touchdowns, no turnovers. through two games.
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 3: He's on pace. to score 79 touchdowns this year. He
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 3: is overwhelming.
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 1: That offense is overwhelming. And Detroit's in trouble because that
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 1: defense is lousy.
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so players with nine-plus total touchdowns and zero turnovers
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 4: in the team's first two games of a season. 2013,
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 4: Peyton Manning, he won the MVP. 2018, Patrick Mahomes, he
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 4: won the MVP.
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 5: And 2026, Josh Allen.
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 4: There was no way Buffalo was losing the first game
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 4: at Highmark Stadium. And to go even further, there was
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 4: nobody that was scoring a touchdown to open that stadium
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 4: besides Josh Allen. Josh Allen was always going to rush
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 4: that first touchdown.
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: Well, Mikey's upset because he has James Cook on his
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: fantasy team.
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 5: Playing Josh Allen.
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 3: Oh, playing against Josh Allen. Taking all your rushing touchdowns.
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 4: So the reason why I'm not pressing the panic button
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 4: on the Detroit defense yet is they're missing their two
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 4: starting safeties. Like you get Kirby Joseph back, you get
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 4: Brian Branch back. Your defense should theoretically look a lot different. Overall, though,
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 4: it's not good because you give up 469 yards in
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 4: week one to New Orleans and then Buffalo follows that
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 4: with 446 yards. It feels like their offense doesn't matter
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 4: what their offense does. They were really never in that game.
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 4: And for that game to end as a 10 point game,
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 4: that might be the biggest blowout that ended in a
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 4: 10 point game I've ever seen in NFL history.
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 3: You know, it's it's you're right. Put it on the pole.
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 3: It was. It was a 10-point blowout. That game felt
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 3: like it.
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 4: Was 20-plus points to lead the entire game. You stopped
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 4: me dead in my tracks. I had to think about it,
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 4: and you were right.
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 1: And by the way, thank you for changing my opinion
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 1: and having me take Buffalo instead of Detroit last night.
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 3: You now get 20% of the pool if I win.
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 3: How about that? Yes. Wow.
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 5: Anyway.
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 3: Mikey, why don't you like Josh Allen?
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 1: What is the problem? I know he plays in Buffalo.
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 1: He plays inside your division. You're a Jets fan. I'm
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 1: a Jets fan. I respect the hell out of that guy,
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 1: and I like him. I enjoy watching him play, man.
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 1: He is one of one, Mikey.
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 5: Listen, I respect him and he is really good at football,
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 5: but I have a rule where if you want to
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 5: be a tough guy, you could be a tough guy.
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 6: Baker Mayfield is a tough guy at quarterback. He's a
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 6: guy who's going to put his head down. He's going
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 6: to try and run over a linebacker. He's going to
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 6: get up and say, come on, hit me harder. You
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 6: could be that guy. You could be what I would
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 6: call a wimp. Tom Brady was a wimp. Amazing quarterback.
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 6: But if you breathed on Tom Brady wrong, he was
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 6: going to scream for a flag.
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 9: You could be that. I expect that for most quarterbacks.
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 9: But you can't be both. And Josh Allen is constantly
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 9: running people over and then complaining for a flag. And
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 9: it just rubs me the wrong way. He's one of
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 9: the biggest floppers. He's one of the best quarterbacks. I'm
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 9: not trying to say he's not good. But come on, man.
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 5: Be one of them. Be one or the other.
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 3: Don't be both. Taylor, do you agree with this?
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 5: No. I love.
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 4: If you told me.
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 5: Thanks for going with me on that, Taylor.
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 3: Why would he?
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, you're alone and you deserve to be.
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 5: That's fine.
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 4: If you told me I could only watch one player
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 4: in the NFL for the rest of time.
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 3: It'd be him.
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 4: It'd be Josh Allen.
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 3: Seriously.
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 4: The highlight plays Josh Allen makes... I'm all for it.
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 4: And if he's getting preferential treatment from referees, because he
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 4: is a quarterback, he deserves it because Mikey, I don't
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 4: want there to even be a chance that Josh Allen
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 4: misses a game because he takes a bad hit or
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 4: an illegal dirty hit. So yes, I don't mind that
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 4: they're protecting Josh Allen and he's going to run you over.
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 3: To, well, Yeah.
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 4: But that's the problem.
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 6: If you're a defensive player and he's running you over
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 6: and then the next play you go hit him and
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 6: he gets up and he's screaming for a foul or
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 6: you don't hit him and he pretends you hit him.
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 5: Right. By the way, give that a Google search because
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 5: he does that a lot, too. Yes. Then go ahead.
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 5: And like, what are we even doing? What what sport
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 5: are we playing? Yes.
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 3: He's a great quarterback.
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 1: If I had one player to watch for the remainder
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 1: of time, it would be him or it would be
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 1: Caleb Williams.
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 3: It would be one of those two people. to watch
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 3: for the remainder of time.
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Taylor.
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 4: When I was watching that game yesterday, and you're getting
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 4: started on Thursday Night Football on Prime. It felt like
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 4: the Lions didn't know that Josh Allen was a rushing
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 4: threat until about halftime.
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 3: Weird, yes.
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 4: Where every time he's dropping back to pass, it felt
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 4: like they kind of had a guy spying, but the
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 4: guy spying was like, oh, Josh Allen's a lot slower
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 4: than I think he is.
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 5: He's not running.
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 4: And then Josh Allen would just rush for like 25
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 4: yards a carry.
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's crazy.
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 1: So I know you said you're not concerned yet about
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 1: the Lions defense because the safeties are out. You can
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 1: have those same concerns about the Bills defense because they
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 1: have not been great Through the first two games. The
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 1: difference is between the two teams. The Bills have an offense.
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 1: They don't care if the defense gives up 30. They'll
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 1: score 40. The Lions can't do that every single week offensively.
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 1: They've been good offensively. They put up 30-plus points in
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 1: each of the games, I believe, but they can't do that. Like,
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: if you score 30 against the Lions, Jared Goff is
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 1: not going to give you a Josh Allen game and
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 1: put up 45. The Bills can make those wins, you know,
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 1: when they give up 30, 35 points. Those turn into wins.
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 1: They've done it twice this season. The Lions were lucky
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 1: to win the first game, and they lost last night.
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 1: So I would be concerned about the Lions' defense more
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 1: than the Bills' defense only because the Bills' offense is
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 1: better than the Lions' offense.
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 4: Jared Goff might be the most milquetoast quarterback in the NFL.
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 3: Put it on the ball.
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 1: Is Jared Goff the most milquetoast quarterback in the NFL?
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 3: I think you're right. I'm voting yes.
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 4: Because we talk about him like he's a top 10 quarterback.
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 4: He's not a top 10 quarterback, but he's somewhere in
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 4: that 10 to 15 range.
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 1: But he's had a couple of coffees in the top 10.
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 1: He has like he has. He's had moments where he's
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 1: been a top. You consider him a top 10 quarterback. No,
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 1: it feels like his ceiling is like 13. And that's
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 1: as much as I'm willing to budge there.
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 5: Really? And his floor is 16.
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 4: Yes, Mikey, 1,000%. Jared Goff lives in the 13 to
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 4: 16 range because you're watching him play. And it's unfair
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 4: to compare Jared Goff to Josh Allen. But when a
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 4: play breaks down for... josh allen or lamar jackson or
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 4: caleb williams they have ways to extend plays right jared
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 4: goff's ability to extend plays is he's just gonna duck
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 4: his head in his lap and just go down.
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 1: Wait so there's no escapability zero i just well brady
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 1: didn't have much either and he was fine yeah.
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 6: But brady was a lot but the ball was out
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 6: with tom brady.
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 1: Right i know i understand it listen i wasn't trying
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 1: to make the argument that jared goff is better than
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 1: tom brady i'm just saying He couldn't move with. So golf,
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 1: just so I'm clear on this, you guys, there's a
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 1: window for golf. He'll never be rated in your minds
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 1: higher than the 13th best quarterback in the NFL, but
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 1: it'll never be lower than 16th.
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 5: Is that what you're saying?
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 4: Yep. That exact window.
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 5: Pretty much.
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 1: Wait, but do you guys agree that like maybe two
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 1: years ago, I think they got to the NFC Championship game.
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 3: I can't remember.
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 1: Wasn't he considered a top 10 quarterback at one point,
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 1: Jared Goff?
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 3: He was playing at that level, wasn't he?
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 4: He was probably playing at that level, but Jared Goff
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 4: is always going to be a quarterback that needs the
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 4: perfect situation around him where you give him the best
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 4: running back in the NFL with Jameer Gibbs. You give
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 4: him one of the best receivers in Amar'a St.
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 5: Brown.
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 6: If you gave Jared Goff another game or two, he
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 6: was going to come back to 13 or 16. Like,
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 6: at one point, he threw five interceptions in a game.
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 6: And you're like, oh, man, he stinks. And then the
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 6: next game, he throws for six touchdowns. And you're like, oh, man,
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 6: he's great. If you just stretch out the timeline a
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 6: little bit, it's always going to be 13 to 16.
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 1: If you play enough games, he'll always come back to that,
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 1: 13 to 16.
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 4: Water always finds its level.
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 1: I mean, he did have 37 touchdowns and 12 interceptions
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 1: one year.
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 3: I mean, it was a couple of years ago.
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 5: It was great.
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 1: It was 4,500 yards. That's a good season guys. I
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 1: had stopped at no.
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 4: Can I tell you what I'm tired of with this
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 4: Detroit lions team?
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 2: What?
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 4: Amon Ross St. Brown, he's a great wide receiver. I
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 4: am so tired of watching him when the Lions are
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 4: down by 20 and he makes a catch and he's
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 4: doing all his pointing celebrations. He's scoring in this garbage
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 4: time and he's doing all his dances. It's like Amon
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 4: Ross St. Brown, act like you've been there one time
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 4: and stop celebrating when your team is getting their teeth
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 4: kicked in by Josh Allen.
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 1: I am so focused here. I'm with you on that.
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 1: They're garbage touchdowns. They're always garbage touchdowns.
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 4: They're garbage yards, yeah.
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 3: Yes, but if you're a fantasy owner, you love it.
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 1: I am fixated now on Jared Goff, not the place
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 1: I thought we'd start today. Over three seasons, Jared Goff had–
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 1: you can check the numbers on this, okay? I believe
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 1: it's 101 touchdown passes against 32 interceptions. I mean, that's
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 1: pretty ridiculous. I feel like he's a top-ten quarterback in
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 1: the NFL. But you guys have them 13 to 16,
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 1: and you're unwilling to budge.
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 3: And I understand that because that's what sports radio is
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 3: all about. You have drawn a line in the sand.
