• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Jenen Hurts and the boys that love the Toush Push
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: taking on the guys that don't like the Toush Push.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: They tried to have it banned from the NFL. It's
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: a it's a bad blood match up here. Jordan Love
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: and the Cheeseheads, a key NFC battle Royale. A chamber
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: of commerce kind of night in Northern Wisconsin. Why was
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: it a chamber of commerce? Canada night? Kickoff? Temperatures in
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: the low thirties. It was thirty three degrees a kickoff.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Welcome to mid November football in Northern Wisconsin. The home
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: team a slight favorite at the beginning of the week
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: the game, some of the books had the game of
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: pick them. By the time they kicked off on Monday night.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: You had Joe Buck and Troy Aikman, the Fox refugees
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: who were there calling the game on the boob tube.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Did you watch? Were you riveted? No?
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: You were?
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: What else were you doing?
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: Okay?
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: I got you? Well, we watched so you would not
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: have to. It was our public service and this game,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: despite what Joe Buck was trying to sell, was a
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: yawn fest. Call that a hollering James Special, A lot
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: of snoring, A lot of snoring. You missed. The first
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: scoreless tie of the NFL season, the first scoreless tie
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: in a couple of years in the NFL. You had
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: on one highlight if you want to call that, Jalen
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Hurts hitting a thirty six yard catch and run for
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: a touchdown as DeVante Smith made the play there as
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: the phil at deelf Eagles. That was the only touchdown
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: of the game. The Eagles defense made some plays, not
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: that many. He didn't have to make money plays. Jordan
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Love's not very good. And ten to seven your final
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: that's right, ten to seven. That was it. Seventeen points
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: in the game and it goes to the team on
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: the road on Monday night, the Packers go down Brandon
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: McManus because of some coaching miscues by Nick Siriatti. Brandon
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: McManus had an opportunity to tie the game. We've been
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: a game tyme sixty four yard field goal? How did
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: that go? As time ran out?
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: Not?
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: I were close. I didn't even make it into the
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: actual Green Bay in Green Bay nowhere there so nowhere close,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: So green Bay I can straight loss. Now the Packers
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: are five to three and one. They drop into third place,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: third place in the NFC North behind Detroit and Chicago.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: So this is a painful night of football. The results
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: of that and the Packers who did have the top
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: record in the NFC. They were at the very top
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: in the NFC, and that was back on November second.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: They've now they lost to Carolina at home. That's embarrassing,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: tied to Dallas Cowboys, that's embarrassing. And now they're barely
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: hanging on by their fingernails. At this point, the Green
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Bay Packers for the seventh and final playoff spot in
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: the National Football Conference. So there's not a guarantee that
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: the Packers end up making the playoffs. Now, Jordan Love
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: in particular is getting charbroiled for his suck bag performance
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: in this game. He gets the brunt of the raspberrys
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: for a royal a stinko performance there for Jordan Love,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: and that is a good jumping off point as we discuss.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: So the question, after another week performance by Jordan Love,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: after another pathetic performance, does Jordan Love the Green Bay
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: quarterback belong in the elite category of quarterbacks? That's the question.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: What's the answer. So on this one, I've got Marvel,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: spin Off, Culvers and the lou and we will combine
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: all of these things together and we are going to
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: make some delicious cheese fondue yum yum to my Tom, Tom,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: tell me it's just outstanding. So hey. To answer the
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: question Jordan Love is he's not even in the same
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: zip code. If there was a town called Elite Town,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: he would not be in the zip code of Elite Town.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Do we all agree on that? Okay, everyone's great, very good.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: He is the antithesis of elite. They said, well, this
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: was just a bad game. Well, this seems seems we've
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: been a lot of these bad games for Jordan Love.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: He averaged in this game less than five yards per
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: pass attempt. Now, the argument for the Jordan Love marching
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: in Chada society is, well, he didn't have Tucker Kraft,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: the breakout star for Green Bay. He's out for the
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: year with injury, and Tucker Kraft was a guy would
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: run through defenses like a wrecking ball, right m right
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: right through defenses and so glo. Without him, did Love
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: elevate anyone else? No, he was a glorified checkdown artist,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: and he did not did not elevate to anyone else
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: on that offense, and did not set them up. Finished
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: with a passer rating below seventy, which I don't think
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: is all that good. Had a fumble key fumble as
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: green Bay was matriculating the ball down the field and
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: they were gonna get at least a field goal attempt
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: before halftime, and Jordan Love, uh, he fetched around, fumbled
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: the ball there and just handed it back to Philadelphia,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: which cemented the first half scoreless tie. Now the Eagles
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: say whether they're legit, and yeah, they're legit. The Eagles
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: are or another solid team this year. There's product. They
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: won the Super Bowl last year. They're obviously could this year. However,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: I go back to the resume of this Green Bay
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Packer team. You tied a bad cowboy team. That's a
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: bad Dallas cowboy team. You tied them. You lost at
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: home to Carolina. That should be like four losses. Carolina
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: just got their doors blown off by the Saints, and
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: you lost at Cleveland the Browns. You lost to the Browns.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: So that's that should be worth three losses. So they
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: should really have if you do the math on this,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: like six losses based on this, and you can lose
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: to those teams, right, you can lose to those teams,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: uh and and and you did, but you're gonna get
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: killed for it, right, And you can't be in the
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: elite conversation when you're losing. Even once in a while,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: you're gonna have a stinker against an inferior opponent. But
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: you can't convince anyone when you lose those type of
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: games that you're an ascending football player. And that's the
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: issue here for Jordan Love and the fact Love is
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: lacking that Gennisi quah. He is right that sparked that magic.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: Dust I don't see it, at least not on a
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: weekly base. They have been flashes of it. Usually when
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: he plays the Dallas Cowboys, he seems to play very well.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Could that be I don't know the Cowboy defense. Could
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: that be why he's playing well. I'm just saying, but
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: Jordan Love is part of what we call the trust
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Fund generation of quarterbacks. And this is something that's changed
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: in my lifetime. And someone is going to write a
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: great book about this. There'll be a great docu series
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: about what's gone on in the NFL the last five
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: years or so. It is fascinating. There was always this
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: mindset in the NFL you really got to prove it
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: before you got the big money. You had to prove it.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: You had to show that you were legit, and at
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: some point the money got so cartoonish in the NFL,
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: so ridiculous in the NFL. They just said, I screw it,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: We'll just pay everybody, right, We'll just pay these guys
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: all got so rich, these NFL teams because it's the
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: only thing people watch live on television. Everything else is
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: on demand, right, nobody watching stuff live anymore. He's watch
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: it when you want to watch it. This is the
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: only communal experience left in American television. And so they
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: got so much money. At this point, the salary cap
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: keeps going up. It's like faster than bitcoin back in
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, right, just keeps going up and up
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: and up. And the league so flushed. They're like a
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: drug cartel and they're trying to get rid of the cash.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: They have so much cash. It's in the washing machine,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: it's in the dishwasher, it's in the sink, it's everywhere,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: and so they're the accountants are essentially their money laundering,
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: and they're doing it by paying these suck bag quarterbacks.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: It is wild. It is I mean serious. I mean
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: you look at some of the guys that got paid
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: that really suck, Like we all agree that they're not good, Like,
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: how did this happen, and it happened because there's so
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: much money. They just had to give everyone the money.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: The quarterbacks all got. Jordan Love, unproven got two hundred
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: and twenty million dollars, an NFL record at the time.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: I don't know if it's been broken. Seventy five million
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: signing bonus. Seventy five million in the signing bonus for
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: Jordan Love criminal criminal, absolute heist, absolute heist. What Jordan
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: Love got from the Green Bay Packers, my god. And
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: you look around and Love is sitting there at the
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: kiddy table in the quarterback group, and you've got on
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: one side of the table, you've got two a tongue
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: of by Law, you got Treor Lawrence right in front,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: and then you've got Kyler, alligator Arms Murray. Now this
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: is actually a Marvel spinoff. The late great Stan Lee
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: came up with the Fantastic Four for Marvel. Well, this
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: grew of quarterbacks is we'll call them the Boorresome Forsome,
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: those four. So think about these guys all nothing in play.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Kyleermbers aren't benched, Trevor Lawrence just lost to the Houston Sexs,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: did nothing in the fourth quarter of Note I did
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: the malor math on this. If my math is correct,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: the Boresome Forsome of Trevor Lawrence Kyler, Murray Jordan Love
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: and to a tongue of a Loa have gotten contracts
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: worth nine hundred and thirty million dollars. Let me repeat
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: that for those of you a little slow in the
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: back of them. Nine hundred and thirty million dollars for
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: the Marvel spinoff, the Borso Forceome. Wow, that is the
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: price of delusion in the NFL, where potential gets paid
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: like production. Didn't used to be like that, but now
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: you do. That's how you do it. That's the nerd
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: taking over the NFL. Well, we don't want to pay
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: someone for what they have done. We want to pay
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: them for what they're going to do. So what you
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: end up doing is gambling your betting that these guys
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: are going to live up to your projections. Unfortunately, there's
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: the human element where most of these guys don't live
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: up to that, and then you end up with the
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: Boresom Foursome getting nine you know about a bestling nine
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: hundred million dollars. This is gonna be an amazing documentary.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Holy crap, they all suck they all got paid two
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: hundred million dollar contracts, every one of them. Trevor Lawrence
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: is like two seventy five and he blows. It's wild.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: He is so great. Like, listen, Jordan Love was born
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: at the right time. He was born under the right star.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: It's a green and gold star and its shaped like
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: a dollar sign. So good for him, good for him.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: I'm not listen, I'm not blaming him. These teams are stupid.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: They're run by smart idiots, Ivy League educated academia. They're
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: idiots giving those contracts out. Criminal, criminal, and it's fomo.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: They were all afraid fear of missing out, fear of
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: missing out. Now digging deeper the question also when we
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: talk about the Packers, how about the edge rusher Micah Parsons.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: Let's do a deep dive on that at this point.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: So Michaeh. Parsons the big story in the NFL coming
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: over from the Dallas Cowboys. So how is that Micah
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: Parsons trade working out for the green Bay Packers As
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: we sit here week ten now in the books, we
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: head on to week eleven, so ten weeks in to
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: the seventeen game season and green Bay currently holding on
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: barely barely by their fingernails, as we said, and they're
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: biting their fingernails for that final playoff spot. It's like
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: the cheeseheads traded for a treadmill because what they got
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: most of these games. Now, I don't watch every second
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: of every Packer game, but when I've watched the Packers,
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: what I have seen from Micah Parsons is TV guys
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: wearing knee pads talking about him, and then when I
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: watch them actually on the field, it's like he's getting
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: a nice workout in it's cardio. In this case, it
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: was Cardio Knight for Micah Parsons, and he had let
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: me do the math of his So he had zero sacks,
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: zero quarterback kids, zero tackles for loss. Hmm, okay is
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: that good? I don't know. I just do an overnight
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: talk show. Is that good? Does anyone think that's good? Okay?
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: All right? Now? His biggest impact, and I might be
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: wrong on this, I believe the biggest impact that Micah
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: Parsons had was he took a selfie at halftime with
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: some soldiers. They were honoring the military there, and I thought, well,
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: that was kind of cool, cool move, bro, way to
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: go right. But that said, you're getting paid one hundred
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: and thirty six million guaranteed from Green Bay. I don't
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: think they're paying you that to run a photo booth,
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: but maybe they are.
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: I think it set you up on the mezzanine there
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: at Lambeau they have got that nice big event haul
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: where they have weddings and things. You can go in
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: there and put a photo booth up and knock yourself
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: out in the main concourse, have a great time. But man, really,
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: the way Parsons played, at least in this game, you
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: could have gone down to Culver's and gotten a bag
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: of cheese curds from Culvers and that would have had
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: the same amount of impact plays as Micah Parsons. And
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: at least you know with that you get the cheese
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: curds there. They're delicious and satisfying. Michah Parsons, I don't
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: know about that. He was totally boxed up, totally boxed
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: up in this game, and the Eagles and everyone's doing
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: the same thing. He's like, well, Parsons is good, so
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: we'll just scheme against him. And the offensive line when
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: they did go his direction there, they neutralized Micah Parsons,
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: and he was pretty much just background. It was a
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: classical music you'd hear in the background, and that's it.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: That's what he was. And so mostly false adversary. He
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: was builed as a game wrecker, a game rerecord. I've
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: not seen that. Have you seen that? Am I missing?
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: Maybe I'm missing something? Am I getting a different feet
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: of the Green Bay Packers? Maybe that's it. I don't
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: know because I haven't seen it. If you look at
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: ROI return on investment for Micah Parsons, could the Green
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: Bay Packers have been third place in the division if
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: they hadn't traded. Now, I like the fact that they
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: did it, but they're not very good. They're not They
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: tied the Cowboys, they lost to Carolina, lost the clip.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: That's not a good football team. And so Parsons looks
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: like a very expensive cardio machine, the kind of thing
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: you know people buy. They say the number one waste
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: of money for homes is the the treadmill or the
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: workout device that you buy and then you just hang
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: clothes on it because you don't actually use it all
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: right now, last word on the Philadelphia side of things here, question,
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: what is the pulse of the birds. Nick Sirianni's Eagles here,
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: What is the pulse of the Eagles as they get
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: another grinded out win, and this one in an island
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: game at lambeau Field, So you know what the Eagles are.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: I had this epiphany as I was making the long
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: drive in on the winding road from the north Woods
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: here into the main studio. The Eagles have mastered the Picasso.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah you know what that means. So it's like going
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: to the toulou In perie and you know, you go
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: in there and you can't quite and I've never been there.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: I've seen photos and what now you can't quite tell
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: what you're looking at. And so everyone's there because you're
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: supposed to be there. But most people don't give a
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: crap about art, and I don't really care about this,
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: but you're supposed to go, you go, and so you
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: show up and you're like, well, that's kind of stupid.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: What is that? But it's abstract. The way the Eagles
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: are playing, it's abstract. It's confusing, somewhat successful, I guess valuable.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: They're winning another cold night rock fight, and I don't know.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: Rock fight is the way we're throwing pebbles, not really rocks,
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: little pebbles is what they were throwing. Not bombs, definitely
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: not bombs in this game, and so let's not kill ourselfs.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts had been playing well. If you watched Benny
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: versus the Penny on YouTube, which I know you did,
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: we talked about Jalen Hursts the last few games and
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: how good he had been playing. And he had had
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: a bunch of touchdown passes, only one interception I believe,
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: and thrown for a good amount of yards by his standards.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts was playing at a very high level coming
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: into this game. He was not sharp at all. Was
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: this the weather? If that's the case, it's problematic. It
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: gets cold in Philadelphia too. He completed less than sixty
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: percent of his passes and he had a funnel not
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: quite in the red zone, but kind of close to
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: the red zone where he fumbled there. And that was
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: on the opening drive of the game for the Eagles.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: How about AJ Brown? They refused to trade AJ Brown?
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: The trade deadline is coming gone, they being the Philadelphia Eagles.
• 19:54
  Speaker 5: A J.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: Brown might as well have been running wind sprints in
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: the combine and the forty yard dash of the combine
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: in your underwear. He might as well have been wearing
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: his underwear. He didn't need his shoulder pads or a
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: helm or anything like that. What can Brown do for you? Well,
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: what can Brown do for you? Two catches thirteen yards?
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: Two catches thirteen yards for aj Brown? You're paying the
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: guy eighty four million dollars. You targeted him three times?
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: Am I the bad guy for bringing that up? Maybe?
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: I am? Now you do get this sideline pout and
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: I have not seen. I'll try to dig up. I'm
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: sure he had some kind of nonsense in the locker
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: room postgame. That's normally how this goes, passive aggressive stuff.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: Even Nick Sirianni screwed this thing up. If you saw
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: the game. Late in the game, up a field goal,
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: fourth and eight in inside Green Bay territory, Nick Sirianni decided, rather,
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: you don't kick the field I don't blame him not
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: kicking the field goal. Why can't you coffin corner kick it?
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: Why did they stop doing that? Very rarely do you
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: see that when you just punt it out of bounds,
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: corner kick it out of bounds inside the ten yard line.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: And that's it, and then make the Green Bay Packers
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: have to go down and there wasn't really enough time
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: to do anything, but you turn the ball over on downs,
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: you went for it on fourth and eight. You then
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: allowed because of that decision, you allowed the Packers for
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: the Hail Mary field goal, which it turned out wasn't
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: It wasn't close, but Syrian it would have been absolute
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: and would have deserved to be destroyed for that that decision.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: It was coaching chaos. It worked out for him because
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: they won. So thats all is forgetting forgotten. It's nice
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: body spray and all that stuff, and they almost always win.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: It seems the Eagles are seven and two. They're technically
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: tied with Seattle for the top record in the NFC. However,
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: they have the tiebreaker, so they are currently the number
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: one seed in the entire NFC. And it seems like
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: most of these games for the Eagles, most of these
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: games is it's a disaster in terms of style points.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: You know, it's an aesthetic disaster, That's what I'm trying
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: to say for the team from Philadelphia. Yet on the scoreboard,
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: it's a masterpiece. Back in the old day, it's one
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: of the catchphrases of Jim Rome was scarboard. You know
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: that was big back in the day. Not anymore as
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: like thirty years ago. But they win, winning ugly, winning ugly.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: And do not confuse this. They're not invincible. They're not unbeatable.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: If you're Seattle or they got Sam Darman about that.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: But if you're the Rams somebody like that, you know,
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: you look, it's Philadelphia is they almost beat them the
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: first time. Your idiot kicker f that up. So you're
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: not really that concerned. The Eagles don't scare. They win
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: a lot. They don't really scary. They don't have the
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: fear factor in Philadelphia. They don't. And these Picasso wins
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: they look pretty good. I hang them up in a museum.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: You're not gonna win like that most of the time.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: It's certainly not in the playoffs.
• 22:52

• 25:28
  Speaker 1: The crown is yours. So I lead this hour. Change
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: it up the Monday night game bit of a dud
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: there as the Eagles win the riveting ten to seven game.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: We anyway, let's go to the coaching carousel, round and
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: round and round and round and round and round the
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: coaching carousel. So on a giving year, anywhere from seven
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: to ten coaches typically get whacked in the NFL. That's
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: normally how this goes. Seven to ten coaches typically get
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: whacked in the NFL, And so it got cranked up
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: on Monday. We anticipated that somebody was going to lose
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: their job when the sun rose in the East on Monday.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: We talked about this in the Overnight Show in a
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: previous episode, and it turns out that we were correct.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: We weren't sure whether it would be the head coach
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: or one of the coordinators. But it turns out if
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: you did not hear by now, perhaps not. We have
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: learned that the g A Hey and t S Giants
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: they fired coach Brian day Ball.
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: He gon' he's out here, Na La Day go bye.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: He's out. Brian dave Ball moving on from the coaching
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: ranks there head coach of the Giants and he's out
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: and midway through his fourth season of suckage with the
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: Giants two and eight record, two and eight. Oh Man
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: offensive quarter of Mike Kofka will take over as the
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: interim coach. At one point a up coming star and
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: the coach he rings and not lately, but he'll be
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: the interim coach always watch out for that interim coach.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: You always want to avoid giving the full time job
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: to the interim coach. If you don't believe me, look
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: up Romeo Crennell. Anyway, So the move made by ownership,
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: it came a day after the Giants did the impossible.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: They've been a laughing stock of a franchise and they
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: embarrassed themselves some more with that double digit blown lead
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: yet again against the man that has the manny and
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: the petty down Pat Caleb Williams and Chicago as the
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: Bears came back down ten and we talked about Greg Olsen,
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: the Fox broadcaster who put the coach, Brian Dayball on blast. Normally,
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: when a broadcaster goes after a coach or a player,
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: they've been given the green light to do that. So Olsen,
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: it turns out he blasted Brian Daball. He must have
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: known if the Giants did not win that game, the
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: coach was going to be fired, and he was. He
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: was whacked. That's it. So Joe Shane, the most amazing
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: part of this is this guy, Joe Shane, not spelled
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: like that, will remain as the general manager of the
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: of the Giants. Yeah, John Mara and the other ownership
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: people there said that the GM will lead a search party.
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: It's a rescue and recovery mission for the franchise, which
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: sucks now day Ball the second coach number two that
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: has been has been let go as Brian Callahan, whose
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: team as to quote cam Ward we asked, that was
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: his quote about the Tennessee Titans. So the we ass
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: coach got let go. He was let go after six games.
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: Titans started out one in five and they have not
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: won since then. So listen as far as the Giants,
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: not everyone is cleached, which blows me away, like this
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: seemed like one of those moves in sports that no
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: one would have a problem with. How could you possibly
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: justify keeping Brian day Ball as the coach? It makes
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: no sense. But sure enough, there are people of some
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: prominence depending on who you give prominence to, that are
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: on the record, on the record stating that this is
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: not a good move. Some of the commentary coming in
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: from the NFL, the poor Brian day Ball crowd, it's
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: not fair. It's not fair, led by who else but
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: that Dunce Dan Orlovsky, the man that famously playing for
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: the Ohen sixteen Lions decided to run out of the
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: back of the end zone. That guy's now giving you
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: football commentary on television. That's right.
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: Anyway, Dan Olasky and the usual other NFL pity party crew,
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: they're like, oh man, this is a mistake. This is
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: a mistake, saying the Giants should have let Brian day
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: Ball finish what is essentially like a love story with
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: Jackson Dart the coach and the player Jackson Dart there
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: because they had I love this good chemistry bull crap,
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: all right, So that is a good jumping off point.
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: Let us discuss the question did Brian day Ball deserve
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: more time? Did the Giants not give him enough time
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: to coach Jackson Dart the prodigy from Old miss, and
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: did he not get the fair shake with the Giants?
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: So on this one, I've got tender Muppet babies and
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: Windy's and we will combine all of these things together
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: and we're going to put that in a deep frier,
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: because anything in a deep frier just tastes good. Just
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: anything fried just as delicious. So, yeah, number number you
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: can tell who Brian day Ball's are in the media.
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: It's not that hard to test I'm not that bright
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: I do an overnight show, But I know the people
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: right now that are advocating and that are preaching and
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: singing the gospel about Brian Dayball. They are in the tank.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: They are in the tank. They're all his media buddies.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: And like I said, the word on the street is
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: that Brian Dave Ball is a great guy. Everyone loves
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: hanging out with him, which is how he was able
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: to keep the job that he was unfit for. For
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: as long as he kept the job with the Giants
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: and all these guys trying to convince you, you and me
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: that the Giants were building something. What were they building?
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: They were building an outhouse is what they were building. Okay,
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: there's one problem with his building the offense up. The
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: offense was dial up Internet. That was the Giants offense. Well,
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: what about that game when they scored a lot of plays? Okay,
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: what about the other games? What about the other games?
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: And I don't have any skin in the game, but
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: it was past time for the Giants here to go
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: on tender and swipe left, not right, not right, swipe
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: left unattractive. Brian day Ball has been living off borrow time.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: There's only so many days you get, well, I'm the
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: guy that coached up Josh Allen.
• 32:16
  Speaker 4: I'm the guy.
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: What about me, jorsh Allen all shove it up your tuckers.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: With Josh Allen living on borrow time in that Fluke
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: Fugase playoff situation a couple of years ago, you go
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: two and eight this year, and since coach of the year,
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: he somehow won that eleven and thirty three. That is
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: a brown bag situation, as in brown backett. Pack your
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: stuff up in a brown bag and get out of
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: here and enough. Brian Dabole overall forty losses, twenty wins
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: and one time twenty games under five hundred, a three
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: thirty six winning percentage for the now former head coach
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: of the Giants. Now what does that mean in Layman's terms?
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: So that means if you look at the NFL since
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: the merger, there have been one hundred and sixty six coaches,
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty six coaches that have met the criteria,
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: and Brian day Ball has in that group one hundred
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: and sixty Sixty's ranked one hundred and fifty fourth, so
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: he's in the ninety third percent tile, which means ninety
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: three percent of all coaching hires have been better than
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: Brian Dayball. But yet his buddies get on television Who's
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: not in full and Jackson Dart and oh my god,
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: they're acting like the these day Ball stands are acting
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: like they just the Giants just got rid of Sean
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: McVay two point zero. Like if you combine Sean McVay
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: and the late Steve Jobs or someone along that is, say, well, no, no, no, no, no,
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: no no. Even the movie Man Moving Man matchs like, well,
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: this is ridiculous. Guess what. Brian day Ball is not
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: innovating any thing. Now. I'm sure he's great over a
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: prime rib dinner that's paid for by the Giants and
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: a nice bottle of alcohol and the whole thing at
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: a dinner. Do I want him coaching an NFL team?
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: No?
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: No. The Giants offense for the most part, You're gonna
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: judge him by the full body of work has been prehistoric,
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: prehistoric with Brian day Ball as the coach. And as
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: far as the whole chemistry experiment, this is not junior
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: high school chemistry. And I don't know where that's coming from.
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: I don't see it, do you? See it. I don't.
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: I must be missing something. There's got to be a
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: disconnect because I don't see any sign that this is
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: going as good as some of these idiots are saying.
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: So pump the brakes, pump the break. Jackson Dart, whether
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: or not he makes it or not, will have nothing
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: to do with Brian day Ball nothing. And they're making
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: it seem like he's a top five quarterback in the
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: NFL right now. It's because of the for Brian dave
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: Ball the coach, and everybody's being held back, and now
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: this evil ownership in the front office is involved in
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: all this stuff. It's like, is he a top ten quarterback?
• 35:11
  Speaker 5: No?
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: Is he a top fifteen? No, He's right in the middle.
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: He's an average NFL quarterback. Jackson Dart is ranked eighteenth
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: in the NFL. He is right now, he's in a wedgie.
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: He's wedged between Jade and Daniels, who's always hurt these days,
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: and c. J. Stroud, who's also missing games because of
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: concussions and other things. Here. So those are the two
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: guys right there. On one side, you got Jayden and Daniels.
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: On the other side, you got c. J. Stroud there
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: and for the most part, those other quarterbacks have been
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: like day old Seltzer. It's just not that great for
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: Jayden Daniels or CJ. Stroud. Now as far as Jackson Dart,
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: the jury is obviously still out. There is no formal
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: decision that has been made here, and they'll say, oh,
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: he'll figure something out. But the whole chemistry thing, it's like, dude,
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: come on, that tells you that they have I have
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: no argument to keep the coach because there'd be no reason,
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: absolutely no reason to bring that up, no reason if
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: there was something tangible like chemistry is just made up
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: sports gibberish. It's something that dumb people say. It's like momentum, chemistry, momentum.
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: It's all bull crap that people just get taught when
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: they're kids and they just get they repeat it because
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: they're lazy and all that stuff. And so yeah, I
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: always bring this up because I used to cover the
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: NBA a lot, and I covered the Clippers in the
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: nineties and they those guys, they loved each other. Late nineties,
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: early two thousands. They had a guy named Darius Miles
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: and oh he was the life of the party. Quentin
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: Richardson those guys hung out together all the time. They
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: were playing video games in the road. They went out
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: to dinner and meals and all that. And they could
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: not play basketball to saved their life. They sucked, but
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: they got they got along. While that great chemistry, great chemistry.
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: Oh man. Anyway, turning the page, so the question now
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: becomes Who's got next? Who's gotten next? Lane Kiffin has
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: entered the chat. Lane Kiffen and Clint Kubiak. Huh who? Yeah?
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: Lane Kiffin and Clint Kubiak are among the betting favorites
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: as the body is not yet cold for Brian day
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: Ball in terms of coaching the Giants, and already the
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: talk is Lane Kiffin and Clint Kubiak among the favors
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: to be the next head coach of the Giants. So
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: how would that play? How would that play with the
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: bass with the Giants? If this assume for the purposes
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: of this monologue that those are the two guys, So
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: how would that play? So what you have here, you
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: have the Muppet babies is what you've got? You've got,
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: or actually the Netpole babies would be a better way
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: to discover you've got the netpo babies. You've got the
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: sons of former NFL big shots Monty Kiffen and Gary Kubiak.
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: Monty Kiffen the father of the Tampa two all right
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: back in the day, Gary Kubiak, John Elways caddie who
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: hold he able to board for John Lway. Both dads
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: coached a long time in the NFL, and certainly Monty
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: Kiffen considered royal he died I think it was last year,
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: but he considered royalty because of the Tampa two defense,
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: which is still mimicked by a bunch of teams in
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: the NFL, and not so much Jared Kubiak. But if
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: you look around right, both of them NEPO babies. So
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: we know that going in. What is an Internet meme
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: and the other ones just kind of there. I think
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: we know who the internet meme is. The other guy,
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: Clint Kubiak, is like a carbon neutral coach. He's a
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: carbon neutral coach. Now what does that mean. That means
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: there's no real carbon footprint, no noise, no headlines, nothing
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: gets you all excited. Just a guy with the right
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: last name who went into the family business and because
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: his dad he got him connections, he was able to
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: get some jobs and he's currently working in Seattle, and
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: things are going well for the Seahawks, and Sam Darnold,
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: who played well last year in minnesota's playing well again
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: in the regular season until it's a big game, and
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: then he rides the vomit comet. And so because of that,
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: and there's really a supply chain shortage of coaches. The
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: name Clint Kubiak has been mentioned for the Giants. Now
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: Lane Kiffin. Meanwhile, all right, so Lane Kiffen would bring
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: the full circus parade, and I'm there for I am
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: talking elephants, camels, zebras, clown cars, the whole shebang. There'll
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: be a thing of a jig and watch you might
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: call it. Oh, I'm all for it. He's the ultimate
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: look at me coach? Is there any coach more about
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: looking at me than Lane Kiffen. Everything he does is
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: for the matrix. He's fully immersed in the fake world
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: of social media.
• 39:48
  Speaker 5: He is.
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: He's the ultimate look at me guy in college football.
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: He could get any college football job he wants. Really,
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: he's like the big name that could get any job
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: he wants. But you'd much rat a coach in the NFL.
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: College football is a joke. Compared to the NFL. You'd
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: much rather coach in the NFL. All these guys want
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: to coach in the NFL. And Lane Kiffin, though, here's
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: the thing. He would turn the Giants into a reality show.
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: It would be a content superstore for those of us
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: that do sports talk radio. Man, Now, would it work?
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: Probably not? Probably not. Wouldn't work, but it doesn't matter.
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: I don't care about that. It'd be a fun thrill ride.
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: Be pretty cool, right, you know, lots of loopy loops
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: and maybe a few barf bags mixed in. For Lane
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: Kiffin with the Giants, the problem, he's got to get
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: the job. The Giants are so buttoned up as a franchise,
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: so conservative, that's the family brand for the New York Giants.
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: Doesn't seem like they'd go for Lane Kiffin's striking a
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: pose at the thirty five yard line. They wouldn't like that, right,
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: So there you go. And the fact that the Giants
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: are to allow this guy, Joe Shane allegedly to continue
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: as the gym. We'll see if that actually happens when
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: we get to the end of the year. Feeling there
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: be a switch rou on that one that he doesn't
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: seem like he's willing to go off off the grid
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: on a coach, and so you're gonna bring in another coach,
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: but you're going to keep the general manager, which means
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: the coach and GM are not aligned, and so you're
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: essentially rearranging the furniture on the Exxon Valdiz. It's not
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: going very well. It's gonna be a big oil spill there,
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: and so so much for the full reboot. You know,
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: turn the computer off, turn it back on. Wait a minute,
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: blah blah blah, blah blah. Now someone's gonna take the job.
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: It pays very well. It's New York while it's New Jersey.
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: And yeah, you get pay a lot in taxes, and
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: I guess you can get free free bus rides if
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: you coach the giants. You get free cheese at the
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: government store, so that'll be good. And there's only thirty
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: two of the jobs, so there you go, you know,
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: so somebody will take it. And if it's Lane Kiffin,
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: buckle up, I'm there for it. Why not. It's gonna
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: be gonna be loud, and it'll be fast and will
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: likely crash and burn spectacularly, but that's fine. A r
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: final point. So, now that Brian Dayball has been decommissioned
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: as the coach of the Giants, what do you think happens?
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: Suddenly he becomes hot to trot. He becomes the hottest
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: offensive mind on the market, the guy that just proved
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: he can't get the job done as a head coach.
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: He was horrific in that job, one of the worst
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: coaches in the ninety third percent tile as a head coach,
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: and his resume actually got better from getting canned, actually
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: got better from getting canned. Yeah, So okay, that's that's
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: the way it is. So they asked the Buffalo Bills.
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: He used to work in Buffalo, has claimed to him
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: the reason he got the Giants' job is because he
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: was credited with Josh Josh Allen could not even eat
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: his food without being being cut up and all that,
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: and he he was eating baby food until Brian Daball
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: came in. And so Buffalo coach Sean McDermott was asked
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: about this and basically said, now we're good. When asked
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: whether or not Brian day Ball would be joining the Giants,
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: joined the Bills from the Giants and some kind of
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: fluff no show consulting job which all these guys get,
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: you know, pay a lot of money, fly in, you know,
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: text a few times a day, that kind of thing.
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: So when asked about a reunion, he essentially said, we're good.
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: So the question is this with Brian Dable on the
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: market the Buffalo Bill's underachieving this season, what was that
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: response by McDermott about why would you not at least
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: text and say come buy sometime, I'll get you a
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: cream puff. You can you can have a cream puff
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: and watch Josh Allen practice. So my theory on this,
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: and I don't think I'm wrong on it, is this
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: is personal to totally dismiss this is a personal situation,
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: like the old marketing campaign for Windy's back in the day.
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: Where's the beef. Where's the beef? Now, here's the beef.
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: There's clearly a beef there. And if there was no beef,
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: if there was no beef, then you'd say, well, we'll
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: talk to him, but we, like our coaching staff, we'll
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: see you never know, he might not want to coach.
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: He didn't say anything. McDermott and day Ball I remember
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: from doing monologues about this back in the day and
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: went back and I checked some of my notes, and
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: they were not They were not best buds at the end.
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: In fact, there was a lot of chatter that you're
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: not gonna see McDermott and day Ball splitting chicken wings
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: at the Anchor Bar in Buffalo. It's not gonna happen.
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: They were loggerheads, didn't really like each other all that much,
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: and McDermott was, I believe, jealous of the amount of
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: attention that the day Ball coaching genius was getting and
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: getting credited by all the TV guys for propping up
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: Josh Allen Wood abow me and all that stuff. So
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: Dave Ball now he has been type cast. He has
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: been type cast as a good coordinator and a bad
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: head coach, the kind of a guy that will keep
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: getting gigs year after year after year after year until
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: the next offensive fad comes along, and then he will
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: be persona non grata. Brian David that's the NFL's comfort food.
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: It's saying what we want. He's got coaching experience, head
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: coaching experience. Yeah, but he suck. Doesn't matter. He's got
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: coaching experience. You know, same names. They just get reshuffled
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: around the NFL and there is a supply chain shortage
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: on available coaches. But you just microwave the resume. That's it.
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: Serve it up again. Go to a new town like
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: the Carpetbaggery that you are.
• 45:54

  Speaker 5: How about that?
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: To the third degree? This is one gets up.
• 46:09
  Speaker 6: After the Buccaneers lost to the Patriots on Sunday, Baker
• 46:11
  Speaker 6: Mayfield said he thinks the team lacks killer instinct and
• 46:14
  Speaker 6: has a problem with complacency.
• 46:17
  Speaker 4: Ben, do you think that's the problem with Tampa Bay?
• 46:19
  Speaker 5: No?
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: First of all, the problem is they're not like wired
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: like Baker Mayfield. There's a lack of talent there. Receivers
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: are out and the guys have not stepped off. That's
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: the issue. They they played pretty hard. I thought they're
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: just not that talent. They're not good.
• 46:31
  Speaker 6: Next, the Seahawks have not won four straight games. Following
• 46:33
  Speaker 6: the blowout win of the Cardinals. After the game, Jackson
• 46:36
  Speaker 6: Smith and Jigba said that the team feels like they have
• 46:38
  Speaker 6: something special.
• 46:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Ben, do you think they have something special?
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: Uh? Well, that could be why they ride the short bus.
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, what do you mean by that? I don't
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: know what. There is something special, I don't know. No,
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: it's that's like chemistry and momentum. It means nothing. Next.
• 46:53
  Speaker 6: Over the weekend, an NHL agent turned podcaster made the
• 46:56
  Speaker 6: claim that he heard an MLB official threaten Bryce Harper.
• 47:00
  Speaker 6: Mishall reportedly scolded Harper for cursing the commissioner, saying, that's
• 47:03
  Speaker 6: how you end up in a ditch. And are you
• 47:05
  Speaker 6: buying that story?
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: Absolutely? I believe it. There are some real scumbags that
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: work for Major League Baseball in the commission's office. I've
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: heard similar things. I'm not shocked by it. How do
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: we know that is a way?
