• 2:26
  Speaker 1: lead this hour. Don't bury the lead, my man. All right,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: We're not gonna bury the lead. So our lead this
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: hour from Philadelphia are ongoing coverage as we have a
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: follow up to the follow up to the follow up.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: As the birds sitting at the very top there their nest,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: the bird nest the very top of the NFC either
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: tied with the Rams, but they won the tiebreaker because
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: the Rams special team sucked and had a kick block
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: that would have won the game. But not all is
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: right in the Delaware Valley. No, no, no, no, no.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: We've been talking about the Eagle players who have been
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: whispering in hushed tones, whispering in hushed tones to medium
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: members in Philadelphia frustrated. Who are they frustrated with Jalen Hurts? OMG,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: they're upset with Jalen Hurts and his approach this season now,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: specifically when it comes to his hesitancy to throw the
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: ball into U. I don't know, tight windows, they say,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: when you could be picked off right, it's not a
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: no risk situation for the quarterback and he's tried to
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: avoid that. Now, Hurts address this. I don't know if
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: you heard what he had to say or not. Maybe not.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: I believe we have some audio here. So Eagles quarterback
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts said he was not startled by the many
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: reports that are bouncing around the echo chamber. People frustrated
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: inside the organization on with his play. The finger being
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: pointed at him, A number of fingers being pointed at
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts for what he's been doing here and well
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: he's used the a word accountability. Let's go to the
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: audio tape. Take a listen.
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: I guess I get a lot of attention when things
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: are going well and when things are not going so well,
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: and so I never run away from holding myself accountable.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: And I think, you know, I think that's exactly what
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: I've taken the approach of doing.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Okay, so I never run away from holding myself accountable.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: I think exactly what I've taken that approach of doing
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: and all that. All right, So that is a good
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: jumping off point. Let's get into this right now. The
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: question Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts as you just Hurt says
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: he never runs away from holding himself accountable. How do
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: you interpret the meaning of this? Is it straightforward? Is
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: there some nuance to it? So on this one, I've
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: got Ruth, Chris steakhouse, wooden palettes, and gymnastics, and we
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: will combine all of these things together and we are
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: going to have some delicious, delicious banana cream pie. The
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: king of the pie is the banana cream pie. So A,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: there's really no need for us to sit here and
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: just blab blah blah blah blah blah blah, blah blah blah,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: and give you all kinds of fluff. We cut through
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: the fluff. We actually have a machete. We cut through
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: the fluff. It's a fluff cutting machete and we use
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: that every night. So Jalen Hurts did not actually accept accountability. Well,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: we shuid it. What are you talking about? He shut it?
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Oh shut up, Okay, here's what he did. He said,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: I'll never run away from it. But really, yeah, it's
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: really I know I'm at fall, and the key part
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: is I'm not changing. I did not get the sense
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: from watching the Jalen Hurts news conference that he has
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: any intention of doing anything differently. And that's how the
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Mallor Rosetta Stone ruled. When we listened to what he
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: had to say. This is the modern day quarterback news conference.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: What do you do with these things? Right? You do
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: some news conference? Jiu jitsu is what you do. You
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: say accountability, and if you say it, certain percentage of
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: people don't pay attention. Oh he said it, he said accountability.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: But you say that, but you do stubbornness. Okay, you
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: do stubborness. Meanwhile, the Eagles offense, despite that great record,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: they are circling the drain. They're twenty fifth overall on offense.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: That's not good. Oh, you're being too critical. Twenty eight
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: been passing. I think that sucks. Oh why'd you say that?
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: That's why you're doing overnights twenty ninth in terms of
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: third down play, which is not great either. Last year
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: behind Sakwan Barkley, they were bulldozing people one hundred and
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: seventy nine yards rushing per game. I believe last season ridiculous.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: This year it's like a buck fifteen or something like that.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: That's not a dip, that is a sixty four foot
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: plunge off the Ben Franklin Bridge. All right, and then
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: and the locker room knows it, and the Eagle, the
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: people around the Eagle are claiming that, hey, listen, they
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: got the game plan. Jalen Hurts is using the I
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: word ignorance in terms of the game plan there. He
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: will not throw into the tight windows against the zone,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: and you know he plays he essentially the translation is
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: he doesn't want to risk anything at all, Like you know,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: he's the guy that will buy stock and if it
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: goes down, he keeps it. He just it's a long
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: term strategy. Here, and this all started a couple of
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: years back in twenty twenty three through a bunch of interceptions.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: He got buried for it. Jalen Hurts is that what
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: are you doing? You're turning the ball over too much.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: And so he' say, okay, I'm going to get ripped
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: for that. So I'm going to now go into my
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: safe space. And he the last seven hundred and twenty
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: one pass attempts since that fateful twenty twenty three season,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: he has seven interceptions. He's playing safe. He's being very
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: conservative with the football. The Eagles winning. Yes, they're being
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: very successful on the field. It's also uninspiring, right, they're spending.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Here's the issue. If Jalen Hurts was being paid a
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: pedestrian amount of money and they didn't go out and
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: fill out the roster, it would be fine. But they're
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: paying him as a franchise quarterback. He's a checkdown merchant,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: is what he is, Charlie. Checkdown is what they're getting.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: They're paying him for a franchise quarterback. They're not getting that.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: It's kind of like going to Ruth Chris steakhouse and
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: they have all those delicious steaks and all that and
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: you're like, you know what I want to order. The
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: I would like to order the lettuce wedge is what
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: I would like? Well, no, no, it's a steak. Well no,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: it's on the menu though it says lettuce which I
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: know it's on the menu, but you should get a steak.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: But I don't want a steak. I want the lettuce witch.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: When nobody orders the lettuce witch, we don't even know
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: why it's on the menu. You're the first person ever
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: to order that. It's fine, that's what I want, Okay whatever,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: So technically reads a meal, but it's like kind of
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: a waste, right, It's like, you know you're not there
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: for that. And you got aj Browne prime years of
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: his career. He's the only one that's been vocal and
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: spoken on the record put their name on it. Davonte
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Smith is also another guy who might as well trade him.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: You don't need him. If you're just gonna check down,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: you're wasting the entire buffet of playmakers. And you've got
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: this big offensive line and all that. And so the
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Eagles they're winning winning, You know what they remind me
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: of they used to be. I'm gonna talk hockey here, much.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: The New Jersey Devils, believe it or not, years ago,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: won a bunch of Stanley Cups. They had a really
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: good run and they were contenders every year, and they
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: were so boring. They were so boring boring winners is
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: what they were. And kind of like the San Antonio
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: Spurs when they won. They were boring in basketball. So
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: you're doing that, you're winning, and you're paying a luxury
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: rate for your roster, and you've just dumbed down everything.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: You've dumbed down everything. And so they've got a team
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: that plays football like they're trying not to wake up
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: a baby. There's a baby sleeping off to the site.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: They don't want to wake up the baby. And Jalen Hurts,
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: he says he'll never run from accountability, which is fine.
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: Men.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts has been a great SoundBite in terms of cliches.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: And remember when he first came on the scene against
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys and they played terribly the Eagles against Dallas
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: in Dallas, and yeah, he gave us that great quote
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: when you drop a deuce, you don't stop and stare
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: at it, You flush it and move on, which is
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: still one of my favorite Jalen Hurds quotes, but here's
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: the deal. Just to be clear, for those of you
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: that are late, like a Dallas Cowboy receiver, you're a
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: little late there in the back of the room. So
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts admits that he's the problem. He's not running
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: from it. He just won't solve it. So that's the
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Philly paradox is what it is. And as long as
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: they win, you can't say anything. Everything is good. Blah
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. All right. Meanwhile,
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: to Arizona we go, where another coach on the hot seat,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: Jonathan Gannon. Jonathan Gann, the Cardinals head coach, was questioned
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: about his job status. The Cardinals off to the typical
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: three and seven start, and they now have they benched
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: their starting corp back. They made some fake injury up
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: for him, a little fella the garden home their alligator
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: arms Murray, so Gannon on the hot seat. He was
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: asked about this. He dismissed it. Of course, I'm great.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: If he said yeah, they should probably fire my ass,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: I suck. He didn't say that, he said he would
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: he wouldn't pay attention to it. He said, it's not controllable.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: He said, quote, I didn't hire myself. I'm not going
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: to fire myself. Well, okay, that's the quote. Question what
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: are the chances? What are the chances that coach Jonathan
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: Gannon is Jonathan Gannon and he's out? What are the
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: chances he avoids the pinxil Let's look at that way?
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: So what are the chances he actually stays in Arizona?
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: So the mallard of sports book odds, which is never
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: wrong because they're the maler of sports book gods, the
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: chances that Jonathan Gannon remained with the Cardinals of the
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: football variety is plus two thousand. Now, that implies, based
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: on the math, the mal of math about five percent,
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: give or take about five percent. So you'd be better
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: off wandering through the deserts of Arizona with no water
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: in July late July and just thinking, well, maybe I'll
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: stumble on some water somewhere. You know, you got better
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: odds of that happening. He's got a three forty one
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: winning percentage in Arizona and barreling towards his third straight
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: losing season. There. Cliff Kingsbury, who wasn't very good either
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: he was. He was the guy that gave the player's
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: cell phone breaks during practice and the orange slices and
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: all that. He got run out of town. He had
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: one bad year, and this guy, Jonathan Gannon is stacking
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: up bad performances like wooden palletts in a warehouse, and
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: the whole reason that you hire a guy like that.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: He was a defensive coach. He was with the Philadelphia Eagles,
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: and he's okay, he's going to fix the defense. They're
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: going to fix the defense. Okay, so let's see how
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: that's going. He's been there three years. First year thirty
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: second in the NFL. Second year twenty seventh, and now
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: they're twenty fifth in the NFL. So if you do
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: the math on that, you give another ten years, they'll
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: have the number one defense in the NFL. Not exactly
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: fixing things, it's kind of like you have a problem
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: with termites and you're like, let me hire the exterminator,
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: and the exterminator comes over and seals the house off
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: and fumigates the house with the family still in the house.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: That's essentially what's going going on here. And the bid Wells,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: the family that owns that team they're getting closer to
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: finally getting rid of alligator arms Murray. And once they
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: dump his little tush, they might as well just dump
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: the coach as well. Get a fresh start and reboot
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: the whole thing, right, reboot the whole thing, and get
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: a new quarterback and a new coach, and get a
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: new sofa, get a new television, all that stuff, all right,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: and now this is what they do. This is amazing
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: fun factor. So no Cardinals coach has lasted six seasons
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: since they became the Cardinals when they well the Arizona
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: or they were the Phoenix Cardinals for a while when
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: they moved from Saint Louis in nineteen eighty eight. Nineteen
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: eighty eight. That's been a minute. So this franchise treats
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: stability like it's contagious. They also can't seem to hire
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: a good coach to save their life, maybe once every generation.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: And johnthan Gannon is a again defensive guy coaching a
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: bad defense and it's like hiring a chef or in
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: this case, a baker, and the baker comes in he said, well,
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: I really, you know, I love My favorite thing is toast.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: I love perfectly made toast. And the baker says, well,
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: I I make toast all the time. That's it's not
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: really a baked that cookies. I make toast. I'll make
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: toast for you, sure, And he said, well, who do
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: you make toast for? I want to make toast for
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: Jim Nantz. I like burnt toast, and he likes burnt toast,
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: and I don't like burnt toast. But anyway, so again
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: it's a dead man walking in the valley of the sun.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: Now the last word here we go now to Mowtown.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: The Detroit football team hosting the New York NFC football
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: team that would be the Giants this weekend. Not a
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: game that has a lot of juice to it. Not
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: a game that has a lot of juice to it.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: And some interesting comments by Dan Campbell, the coach of
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: your Detroit Lions. Question, how do you process? Lions coach
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: Dan Campbell praising the Giants quote fresh energy? Fresh energy
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: was the quote under interim coach Mike Kofka. So on
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: this one, Dan Campbell suddenly turning into the meathead Lou
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Holtz on this SoundBite, just buttering the popcorn of the opponent. Here. Now,
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: the term that predates Lou Holtz is called poor mouthing.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: You can look it up. I'm not making that up.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: Poor mouthing one oh one, and he's taking that fresh
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: energy fresh energy under Mike Kafka, like the Giants somehow
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: just discovered fire and the wheel and just wonderful. It's like,
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: give me a break. It's the oldest move in the
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: coaching world. You're a double digit favorite, you being the
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: Detroit Lions. What are you gonna do? You inflate the
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: other guy. You turn them into the Jimmy Johnson, Troy Aikman,
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: Michael Irvin, emmittt Smith Cowboys back in the day. And
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: you're like, well, my team's not gonna get get caught
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: flat footage, sleepwalking all that, and Campbell he sees the odds.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: This is a trap game situation. You're not getting up
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: for it. The Lions have a Thanksgiving game next week,
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: as they always play on Thanksgiving, and so this is
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: a game you kind of get through and then the
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: whole world's watching next week and you see the standings
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: and so it's mental gymnastics, is what it is. It's
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: mental gymnastics now. The fresh energy thing, that's that's what
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: they say when a team fires the coach and still blows.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: There she blows. It's a red bull energy. The Giants
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: win three or four games a year. They don't beat anybody.
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: Let's not rewrite the Bible over here. Dan Campbell knows
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: what this is. He's just planting some insurance, is what
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: he's doing. If Detroit goes out and wins the game
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: in a dominating fashion, which according to the pointspread, they're
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: supposed to be doing if they win this game, big big, big,
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: big big big, big, big big big. Then he said, well, yeah, hey,
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: we respected him. We showed up to play. And now
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: if they don't, if they don't win big, well we warned,
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: we warned. Guys. You know this is fresh energy. Now
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: the Lions actually lose this somehow, you might have to
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: cancel the Thanksgiving game in Detroit and pull the Ford
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: Field fire alarm. You might have to do that, and
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: then Dan Campbell's knee biting card will be taken away.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: No more knee biting for you. So there's that.
• 18:18

  Speaker 5: over Promised. You see, we're having so much fun in
• 18:42
  Speaker 5: our two hour show. We never get to everything, honestly,
• 18:46
  Speaker 5: because this guy is over promising things we never have
• 18:49
  Speaker 5: time for. Yeah, you blobber li lame and me.
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: Well, you know what it's called over promise. You should
• 18:53

  Speaker 5: Well, it's a Cavino and Rich after show, and we
• 18:57
  Speaker 5: want you to be a part of it. We're gonna

  Speaker 5: be talking, of course, but we're also going to talk
• 19:01
  Speaker 5: life and relationships. And if Rich and I are arguing
• 19:04
  Speaker 5: about something or we didn't have enough time, it will
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: continue on our after show called over Promised.
• 19:09

  Speaker 4: It's gonna be the best after show podcast of all time.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: There you go, over promising.
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: Remember you could see it on YouTube, but definitely join us.
• 19:24
  Speaker 5: Listen over Promised with Cavino and Rich on the iHeartRadio app,
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: Our lead this hour from the high speed sports wires.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: My old mentor in San Diego used to say, as
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: we try not to throw a wobbler, so we head
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: to the buy you as the transaction wire heating up.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: If you did not hear about this, perhaps not well
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: if you missed it. The New Orleans Saints have fired
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: wide receiver Brandon Cooks. He will become a free agent,
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: assuming he is not claimed on waivers. I don't know
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: why anyone would claim him, as his career is in
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: ashes at this point, Cooks asked to be fired. And
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: the team that made the paper bag famous, the team
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: that's now back to the Aints. They're Innaulvence. And now,
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: if you dig a little deeper, Cooks had a bunch
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: of incentives in his contract for things like receptions and
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: touchdowns and playing time and receiving yards. Would you like
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: to take a guess how many of those incentives he
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: reached this year? Yeah? None, none. That is a body blow,
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: body blow, body blow. He finished his time in New
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: Orleans his second run with the Saints with nineteen catches
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: for one hundred and sixty five yards and as many
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: touchdowns as you and I scored none. All right, so
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: that is a good jumping off point. Let us discuss
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: this is post trade deadline. This is a player that
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: the Saints tried to trade nobody wanted. So the question
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: does former Saints wide receiver Brandon Cooks budge the needle
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: at all? Does he budge the needle at all? My
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: observations on this. I've got Alan Wrench, Elmer's brand ambassador,
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: and The Big Lebowski, a classic movie, and we will
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: combine all of these things together, and we are going
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: to hire an exterminator to kill the gremlins, is what
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: we're going to do, all right. Rap punch right to
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: the gut, right to the gut is what we're gonna do,
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: all right. So number wh I said number? Why? Yes?
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: All right? So I would say it's not a zero.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: The needle moves a smidge, just a smidge. This is
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: not clearly Puka Nakua. It's not Justin Jefferson or Jamar
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: Chase spitting a loogie in your face. This is a
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: depth piece, that's all. This is He's a receiver that is.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: I don't even know how serviceable he is. You put
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: him in the huddle, he won't hurt you. He's obviously
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: not the focal point Brandon Cooks of anyone's offense at
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: this point. You know what he is. He's like an
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: Alan wrench. You know everyone's got that junk drawer. He's
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: the Allen wrench in the junk drawer. You keep it
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: around because you might need it. It could be useful,
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: but you're not building the house with it. You know
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Cooks might be the Johnny Cash of
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: the NFL because he has been everywhere. Man, He's traveled
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: every road in this year football land he has. He
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: started with the Saints, went to the Patriots, was traded
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: again to the Rams, Texans, Cowboys. Now he's gone back
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: to the New Orleans Saints and he's on the market again.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: So that's one, two, three, four, five, five teams. He's
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: thirty two years old. He just turned thirty two, not
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: that long ago. He's got more luggage tags than Delta
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: Airlines has available. And this dude has been traded so
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: many times. Imagine the Marriotte points, because when you change
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: teams during the year. He's done that a couple of times.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: You end up living in a hotel most of the time.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: And so this production of Cooks at one point very productive.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: That's what teams wanted him. And he has been fading
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: like the sun off in the horizon there, fading down,
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: and you're not getting the twenty seventeen vintage of Brandon Cooks.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: That model has been discontinued. Yards per target down. At
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: the very peak, which was actually twenty sixteen, he averaged
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: nine point three yards. Now he's in the mid sixes
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: this season. His legs not young, not young, over one
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: thousand snaps a year. Eventually, the mileage, it affects the
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: injured quality of the engine. And so what you're signing
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: is a high end number three receiver, wink wink, a
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: situational number two receiver, possibly in the red zone. Own
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: you can get something out of him. Occasionally he'll go
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: into the hot tub time machine Brandon Cooks, and he'll
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: burn one down the sidelines. But Cooks does not change
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: the trajectory of your season. He does not. He's there
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: for depth. He's a nice player. You could talk about
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: what he used to be. He doesn't move the needle,
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: just a little smidge. That's it now, page two, that say,
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: we all know one of the great things about life.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: One man's trash is another man's treasure. If you don't
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: believe that, go to like a good Will store or
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: any of the any of the stores where they sell
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: you know what, one of my friends, you say, dead
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: people's stuff. You know, people that die and they donate
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: their stuff when they're gone, and people run to buy
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: that stuff at thrift shops and all that. So again,
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: one man's trash, another man's treasure. So we know that
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: this is not a dynamic playmaker at this point, but
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: he's going to continue to hammer away. And clearly he
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: made the decision that there's somebody that wants You don't
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: ask to be fired from the job that you have
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: if you have nothing else out there that would be
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: that would be ridiculous. So the question I have now
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: deputized you as the career counselor for the ballplayer. Okay,
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: so the question where should wide receiver Brandon Cooks take
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: his talents, the wandering white out and that big suitcase
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: to finish the season and most likely his career. So
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: after eight minutes long deliberation. Of the available options, there
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: are two primetime landing spots and sleeper team. Sleeper Team,
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: Sleeper Team. Now at the very top. This is not
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: a list for Terry and England. This is not a list.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: It's Big Ben's Big board, which is nothing like a list.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: It's Big Ben's big board. And the first up here.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: Here we go, Buffalo, Here we go, Buffalo. Josh Allen
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: the Bazooka arm An MVP season a year ago. What's
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: not to like? And the Bills don't have much at
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: the wide receiver position. There's some reports out here that
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: Keon Coleman, who was benched for malfeasance last week, is
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: going to be benched again for the game coming up
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: here on Thursday night in Houston. So Keon Coleman's in
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: the doghouse. He's in the very back of the doghouse.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: Heck he's He's not in the back of the doghouse.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: He's in the basement of the dog house. Oh, they
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: don't have a basement of the doghouse. Well, yes they do.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: Now He's in the basement of the doghouse. So they
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: need help there, and that would be a smart football fit.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: In theory, Josh Allen the deep ball, and every once
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: in a while you could get a throwback highlight from
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks maybe once a game or one and a
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: half times on average per game. Now if not Western
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: New York, do I hear Kansas City? You can go
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: there and Andy read and loves a good lottery ticket
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: and Brandon Coosk can enjoy the Ben Mallard chicken fingers
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: at the landing and Liberty Missouri delicious food. Rashie Rice
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: is the man. He's the man. Although they didn't throw
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: to a much in the second half of the game
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: against Denver, but Rashie Rice, that's it, that's all. They
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: certainly could use another grown up in the room there
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: at the wide receiver position, a savvy veteran who knows
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: how to line up and can run, run the route
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: or root and uh and not be worried about social media.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: And hey Cooks playing with Mahomes every once in a while,
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: why not give it a shot, right, Mahomes likes throwing
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: to old dudes. He throws to Kelsey all the time. Now,
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: the sleeper team, sleeper team, the Insers, Petsburg. Don't don't laugh,
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: do not know, don't laugh. Mike Tomlin has a PhD
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: in veteran rehab. He does, and he loves football guys.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: I love my football guys. Oh yeah, absolute the tape war,
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: his lunch pale grinders and all that. So Aaron Rodgers
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: at this point needs all the help he can get.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: Don't have that much to get the DK Metcalf obviously,
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: he's great, great player. There's not much else there. Now
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: we realize in a league that is absolutely obsessed, completely
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: obsessed with youngness, right, you know you want youth, it's
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: it's forty times, it's are you under the age of
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: twenty five? A guy like Brandon Cooks Still, there's still
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: a place for a guy like that, even though he's
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: running on fumes at this point. Brandon Cooks is an
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: Elmer's Glue brand adbassador. He's a glue guy, glue guy,
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: glue guy. Yep. He's a good guy, which means he's
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: not that good anymore, but used to be good and
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: has some redeeming qualities that makes you a glue guy.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: He's a glue guy. He's not good again, not get
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: you inter season. He won't ruin it, and there's a
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: chance he actually is value added. It's kind of like
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: Cooks think of him like if he was a phone,
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: he would be an iPhone, but he'd be like an
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: iPhone seven. Now, nobody needs an iPhone seven. Not exciting.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: It still works, you know he need it. You know
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: you want the newest one. But it's okay. You know
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: it still works and all the apps work for the
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: most part, and all that and nothing to really complain about.
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: Now, final point, we go to the land Cleveland to
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: be exactly where Shauldur Sanders announced. I know you're very
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: concerned about the new quarterback there in Cleveland. Should announced
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: that he is excited. He's excited to make his first
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: career start for the Brownies versus the Raiders. He said, quote,
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: I'm just excited for everything. I feel like I'm the guy.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: I know, I'm the guy Shoulder is saying, and said
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: that's the money quote the spawn of Dion. He's going
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: to fill in for the concussed Dylan Gabriel who is
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: currently well, he's taking some advill he's got a migraine
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: headache from the concussion protocol and all that. So the
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: question on this one Shader Sanders saying that he feels
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: like he's the guy for the Browns. Are you okay
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: with this? Are you okay with?
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: So?
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: This is on brand and as a struggling overnight gas bag.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: Struggling overnight gas bag would not have it any other way.
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: The thing that I am most impressed with from paying
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: attention to the story around Shuldhar Sanders is how powerful
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: the Dion Caucus is in the NFL. Now we knew
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: Dion was a star back in the day, in the
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: eighties and the nineties and all that, it's been a minute.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: The amount of influence that Dion Sanders has from all
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: the media jobs and all his buddies, his ex players
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: that are all doing meathead podcasts and all. I mean,
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: it's wild. I think this is the people talk about
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: the most most powerful political party, well, Democrats, Republican number three,
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: the Dion Caucus, my goodness, prime time politics. Really it's wild.
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: But as far as sure, this is showmanship, it's arrogance,
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: it's bravado. It's a modern day Big Lebowski, one of
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: the great movies. It's an old movie, but I highly
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: recommend it. And in this case, you've got Sadr Sanders
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: who's announcing to you and to me and the world.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: He says, hey, listen, I'm the dude or his dudinus
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: or el duderino. And if you're not into the whole
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: brevity thing and all that stuff, but he's got swagger.
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: Well you know, hopefully he has his own advil as well,
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: because life hits you fast in the NFL.
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: We know that.
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: And good luck. You're not going to get a parade here, Beau,
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: because your dad was a great player in a different
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: generation of the NFL. And we'll see how Shooter does.
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: Hard to imagine he'll be any worse than he was
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: in the opening performance there. But the test will be
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: when it's third down at eight and you've got Max
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: Crosby chasing you down like a junkyard dog. What are
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: you gonna do? What are you gonna do? So the Raiders, though,
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: if you think of this like a restaurant, I've had
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: a few friends of mine over the years that have
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: gotten into restaurants and they always say, well, you open
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: the restaurant, a million things that can go wrong. You
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: always have to have a soft launch before you have
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: the official official launch. And soft launch is normally friends
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: and family, friends and family, and you know, maybe somebody
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: will come in and just happen to be there and
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: look at your restaurant, and you want everyone in the
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: kitchen to know what they're doing and everything like that,
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: and you want to have just a small crowd, not
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: too busy. And in the NFL, if you're a quarterback,
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: you want to start against the Raiders because that defense
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: is cotton candy other than Mac Crosby cotton candy. We
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: like cotton candy, but you don't really need functioning teeth
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: to eat cotton candy. And as cam Ward would say,
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: total ass, total ass. So as for Shoulder say, it's
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: the Browns are praying that they get the razzle dazzle
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: and not just the frazzle. They want that razzle dazzle.
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: The damage control. I go back to the Dion caucus.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: With circle back to the Dion Caucus. It's happened. Anyone
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: and everyone who has Dion's phone number has magically blamed,
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: among other things, the offensive line, the play calling, the weather,
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: the lack of practice reps. I believe mercury being in
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: retrograde has also been blamed. We'll having to check with
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: our astrology insider. Some kind of cosmic event in the
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: Farmer's Almanac and essentially anything but Shader. He is not
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: culpable at all. He gets a full pardon from the
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: Dion Caccas. And you can tell who exactly is in
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: Dion's DMS, who's getting text messages from Dion based on
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: how loud they are capping for his kid. It's wild.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: No shame, no shame that. There was a point, you know,
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: I got again, I'm getting old. But there was a
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: point where people would never take part in that because
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: it was so embarrassing. Now they're lining up to wear
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: knee pads with Dion's logo on it to support the kid.
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: It's wild. We got generation after generation of excuses and
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: all of that, of course, is prologue. And if you
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: say you're the guy, if you say that, then you
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: go out and be the guy. You know, do I
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: expect him to play well? No, although, boy, the Raiders
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: are so they're so bad, uh, I mean, the NFL
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: generally does expose the fraudsters, the con artists right faster
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: than Dion's dad can sen out a message saying here
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: are the talking points for you on television, Here are
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: the talking points for you, you insider, A woman who
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: just repeats whatever I tell you, that kind of thing,
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: because I'm the Big Khuda, the Big Khuda.

• 35:33
  Speaker 6: I was reported on Tuesday that Aaron Rodgers will not
• 35:35
  Speaker 6: need surgery on his left wrist, and he's reportedly pushing
• 35:38
  Speaker 6: to play this week. He's spoke to the media said
• 35:40
  Speaker 6: it's more of a safety issue than a pain tolerance issue.
• 35:43
  Speaker 6: But do you think the stealers should let him play
• 35:45
  Speaker 6: against the Bears?
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes, you only get seventeen games. If he's medically
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: cleared the play, he should play. I don't see what
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: the issue is. That's a winnable game, that's a toss
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: up game. The Bears have a good record. They've been
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: winning with as Tree in Chicago and yourphemeio in weird ways.
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: But yeah, if he's able to go, and he's medically cleared,
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: there's no reason not to play him. I'd put him
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: out there next.
• 36:08
  Speaker 6: There's apparently chatter in some circles that the Vikings will
• 36:11
  Speaker 6: explore trading for Mac Jones this upcoming offseason. Do you
• 36:14
  Speaker 6: think Jones is a good insurance policy for JJ McCarthy, He.
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: Is an insurance policy. I do not know that I
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: would use the word good. I do not know that
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: I would use the word good in that there are
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: some advantages to mac Jones. He has cooled off though,
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: right for a couple of weeks it looked like Bob
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: this guy's great, not so much anymore with the forty
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: nine ers, and now brock Perty's obviously back in the
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: picture and all that stuff. But you know, I don't
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: think there's gonna be a beating war for mac Jones.
• 36:43
  Speaker 6: How about that next well, Like Fatherlike Son, apparently as
• 36:47
  Speaker 6: a bad season for the Buffaloes wraps up, Dean Sanders
• 36:49
  Speaker 6: addressed the media and assured everyone that Colorado has the
• 36:53
  Speaker 6: right man for the job. He is the guy. Do
• 36:55
  Speaker 6: they have the right man?
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: Ben? It would be more fun if Deon said, you know,
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: I am not the right for the job. I am not,
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: and I'm in the cockpit on the vomit comment. It
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: is not going well. But Dion, it just looks like
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: he's he's one of those, not the vomit comment, but
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: like he's a comed He burned brightly for a little bit,
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: quickly gone. That's it like or like a rainbow kind
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: of fading off in the distance there. I love the
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: Deon story, but man, does he look like he doesn't
• 37:21
