• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the right time. A wave original.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: My name is Bomani Jones. Thanks for listening wherever you
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: get your podcasts. Thanks for watching us on YouTube. Subscribe, like,
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: rate us, review us, give us five stars. You only
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: give us four stars. I'm inclined to believe you are
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: a hater. It is first Fridays with Dominique Fosworth.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: What's going on, big dog?
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Not much, man.
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: Just happy that we got the playoffs. That final week
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: of football, man. I know they're trying to add more. Like, God,
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: we don't need no more. That last week was rough.
• 0:37
  Speaker 4: Oh, no.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: And it's just look, man, every like my dad always say,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: every everything you own is a bill waiting to happen.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Every week of football disaster is just a little bit closer.
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: It's just like it's so I don't know, maybe. Well, no,
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: I feel like mathematically. So the more games you add,
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: the more likely you're going to have irrelevant games.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: Right. Right.
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: Like it's more chance. So, yeah, that's the thing that.
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: It's like, man, there's just so many games that didn't
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: matter with quarterbacks whose names I had never seen before.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: It's like, what are we doing?
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, it feels like such a short-sighted money grab
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: in the end. Like, 16 felt like the sweet spot, right?
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: But now we're here. It's the playoffs that they added
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: one more team to that nobody needed that. That's my
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: thing with the playoffs is, hey, man. We don't have
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: enough good teams. Like, when they talk about expanding the
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: NCAA tournament, who you letting in?
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: And the thing is, like, it seems so obvious and
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: it seems so silly a decision, but obviously they know
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: what they're doing. They recognize what they're selling. They're like, yeah,
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: they know the trade-off. Yeah, I bet y'all going to watch.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: I bet y'all going to watch.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Exactly right. All right, you going to talk all that shit, but.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: You going to watch, but it's my job. I got
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: to do it for work.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right.
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Get your ass out there and get to work, you know?
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: But before we get to the playoffs, and we have
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: a lot there, you are a former Baltimore Raven. You
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: played for John Harbaugh. Here on the right time, we
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: expected him to get fired. Were you surprised?
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I think it's one of those things
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: that you know is going to happen eventually, inevitably, and, like,
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: it was reasonable for it to happen now, but it
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: still was like, damn. You just got used to it. So, like,
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: it was kind of, it wasn't like... wasn't something that
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: I was like, I can't explain this. This is so ridiculous.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: But it's still like, oh, damn, they really did it.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: Especially the time when it happened. Like I was at
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: dinner with Swagoo. Like I had moved on. Well, I
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: guess we weren't at dinner yet. I was headed to
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: dinner with Swagoo and it came through the thing.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm old. I go to early dinners.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: I was hungry.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: It was a spur of the moment type of thing.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: He wasn't planning on being there. I'd be hungry on
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: the spur of the moment, too.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying? Next week, what you doing, man?
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: I'll be here.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: You know where I'm at. All right. I'll be up
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: there next week. Guaranteed.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: You got to realize, Dominique be here every weekend. I
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: see Dominique. What's a football season?
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: Not every weekend. It's during the week. I mean, every week.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: Either way.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Either way. I'm not mad.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: It was like three times this season.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: It was twice. But you know what the thing is, though?
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: And I have to explain this to people about New York.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: It's eight million people here. Right? So when somebody come
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: into New York, maybe you see them, maybe you don't.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Because there's a million people here.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: I got to be honest with you.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: And the same thing that I said to Marcus is,
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: it's not about that there's a bunch of different people
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: to see.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: It's that I don't never want.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: To do nothing, but I'm always happy I did it.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: It's the most ridiculous dynamic that maybe other people understand.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: Maybe it's my own personal thing. It's like, I'd be like, man...
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: I don't really want to do this.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: I don't want to go out. I want to go
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: to bed.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: And every time I get together with some friends and
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: go do something, whether it's here or anywhere else, I'm.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Always like, that was nice. I really enjoyed doing that.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: But I still can't get myself to make no plans.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: No, well, that's what that's what it is.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: It is interesting.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Neither of us is the imposing type.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: But you have to be imposed upon. right like if
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: you are imposed upon you will go for it and
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: you will be cool but it's not i'd be like
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: y'all man dominique down there i'm gonna let him do
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: what he gonna do no that is not actually going
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: to work like that's not that's that's not next week.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: We locked it guaranteed.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: We all good it's all good but i think i
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: just realized i hope that didn't sound as passive-aggressive as
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: it felt because it really wasn't making sure no okay
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: you and swag uh you and swag will go to
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: dinner bowl Yeah.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: And as I'm walking, I get the alert that's like,
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: it pops up and I'm like, oh, damn. And so
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: like it stunned me, but it wasn't something that I
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: was like completely shocked by.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: And anybody who the rumors got louder and louder.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: So like I'm a little bit closer, like physically and
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: also like socially closer to the Ravens than most people.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: So like some of the rumors that are starting to
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: come out and some of the reporting that's coming out
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: about relationships and discomfort and lost connection, locker room or
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: things that I've been hearing for a little while. And so, like,
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: when that stuff starts to bubble up, especially with a
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: guy who is as talented and important to the organization
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: as Lamar Jackson is, then, of course, it's going to
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: lead to this stuff at some point.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: But, yeah, it's still surprising.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: So this is my question about that because, you know,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: we talked about it here on a YouTube video that
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: we did. And, look, you've been there for 18 years. Like,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: this happens. This is just kind of what it is.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: You guys were– they were highly disappointing– this season they
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: decided it was time for a change there also appear
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: to be reports that lamar jackson has some growing up
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: to do one might argue and i think the question
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: i have and i'm curious your thoughts on is not
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: even so much like it feels patronizing to say somebody
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: needs to grow up especially because he's almost 30 years
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: old now like he's a guy that you got me
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: like yo he ain't as young as it seemed like
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: he was but i wonder like i look at kawaii
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: leonard in the nba and i say Oh, you want
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: the money, right? And you want to be able to
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: show up whenever you want because you're the best, but
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: you don't want none of the burden or the onus
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: that comes with that to be the leader, the example setter, right?
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Like the guy that says how everything is going to be.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Like we get reports that Lamar, they don't even know
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: from day to day whether he feel like practicing or not.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: And that to me, from where I stand, feels like
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: something that needs to change.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: It's very un-football too. It's like you brought up Kawhi. Basketball,
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: you hear about things like this more often, where there's
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: guys who are really talented and they take advantage of
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: that talent. But you also hear the stories of the
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: guys who have the most success are the guys who
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: are those superstars, but they are reluctant to use that card. Like,
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: you know, we set up this operation, but I know
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: what it takes and I know that the way that
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: I behave is going to impact the culture of this team.
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: I think what you said like grow up is like
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: a euphemism for like be more professional, you know? And
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: I don't think that this is a unique work environment.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: And so, and you come into a ton of power
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: and to your point, like he's about to be 30.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: If you think about it's only in sports, you know,
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: I guess maybe startups, you know, Where it's a 30-year-old.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: That's running all this. Like, you know what I mean?
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: Like, to be the person that everyone looks to for
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: leadership and guidance and, like, the vibes in the building
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: today are going to be based on how much sleep
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: you got last night.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: You 30?
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: That's normally somebody that at the youngest is 55.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: They maybe 42. I don't know.
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: But, like, normally you've lived a whole bunch. And you've also, like,
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: worked your way up. through these other settings where you've
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: seen what it's like to be there. So like, we
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: assume that those guys are ready for that automatically, but
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: also like to the interpersonal stuff. I don't know exactly
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: what's going on in the building, but if you feel
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: like you get mistreated and we all can attest to this,
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: you feel like you getting mistreated or underappreciated or whatever
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: it is that you're feeling.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: And again, I'm not talking about Lamar specifically.
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: It's not anything that I know firsthand, but when you
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: get one side of the story, it sounds like it's
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: one person that's like, eh, I don't really care about this.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: Not to say that the actions that were reported are justified,
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: but sometimes the actions are in response to something that
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: you are feeling or a way that you feel like
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: you are being treated.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: Again, it's indefensible. Ultimately, no one is going to.
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: You are also the person who all this is going
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: to hang on, which is why I kind of understand
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: and ultimately came around to like, if this was.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: something that was pushed by.
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: Lamar by all means, because we not going to look
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: back on his career and say, man, he was the greatest.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: It don't matter how many Superbowls he won. He was
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: the greatest.
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: They let him down in this way, that way, the
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: other way. No, we're going to be like, Hey, he
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: couldn't get it done in the big moments.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: And look, for whatever reason, the Todd Munkin thing didn't
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: really work for him. The idea that Harbaugh was like,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: I refuse to fire Todd Munkin. Okay. You must've just
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: wanted to go somewhere else. Cause this is a, like,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: gotta do what you gotta do sometimes, big dog. Like,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: I know Bruce Arians does not speak to Mike Tomlin
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: anymore based on a very similar situation, but sometimes that's
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: just a trade you gotta make. Like, if you, if Lamar,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: if the quarterback doesn't want to play for the offensive coordinator,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: then we gotta go get a new offensive coordinator.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that sounds to me like it was a, it
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: was a piece of a bigger picture.
• 9:38
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: Where it's like, one thing about the Ravens has been
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: they've been such a, like, professionally run and, like, top heavy, like,
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: leadership structure from Ozzy, who's still involved, to DaCosta, to Harbaugh,
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: and Joe Flacco wasn't going to be the guy, and
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: he wasn't, like... he wasn't good enough frankly to be
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: that guy it's a unique place that this organization has
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: been in they've been good the whole time they existed
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: pretty much like competitive right they've never had a superstar
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: quarterback and they've never had and they had like superstar
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: linebackers and defensive players but and quarterbacks right yeah and
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: so like to me at least it comes down to
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: That felt like it wasn't about Todd Munkin. They've been
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: through so many coordinators over there. Harbaugh been there 19 years.
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: He done hired and fired a ton of people. It
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: wasn't about Todd Munkin. It was about, at least to me,
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: I'm in charge. We're going to do it my way.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: And I'm going to bend a little bit, but this
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: is the final one. Like, no, you're not going to
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: tell me. And I respect that from both sides where
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: it's like, look, at a certain point, There's some level
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: of power that I must maintain if I'm going to
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: run this. You're not going to tell me who I
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: can hire and fire. I want a Super Bowl. If
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: I got to go for that, I got to go
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: for that. Like, I respect both of them and ultimately
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: how this panned out.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it bees like that sometimes. You know, like, OK,
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: one of us is like something I would never forget
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: is when Russell Westbrook left Houston and was just like,
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: I won't play with James anymore. And James is like,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: I don't want to play with Russell anymore. And them
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: boys is still freaking frack, man. Like, they just looked
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: at each other and was like, hey, man, I don't
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: think we meant to be roommates.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: It beats like that sometimes.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: I said a whole bunch of words, and you quite
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: succinctly boiled it down to the truth.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: It's like, man, sometimes it beats like that.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Beats like that. By the way, I don't know if
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: you saw this, but on Wednesday, Josina Anderson reported that
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins had been in touch with John Harbaugh,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: which was a bit of an issue because on Wednesday,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins still had a head coach. Mike McDaniel
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: was their head coach. And the fact that he was
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: still the head coach made me raise the question where
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: I always say is like, so who does and does
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: not know that this man is black? Apparently, Stephen Ross
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: figured it out because on Thursday, the man got fired.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: Ooh. Yeah, yeah.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, McDaniel's gone. I mean, look, man, once you start...
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: I didn't even see that.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: McDaniel got fired. Once... It's always bad news when the
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: streets find out that you tried to holler at another
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: coach while you still got the coach. It's over.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: It's over. It's over.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: Well, it raises the question, though. Would Steven Ross have
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: kept McDaniel if he didn't think that maybe he would
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: have a chance at John Harbaugh? Harbaugh's a fool if
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: he goes and takes that job, just so we're clear.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: They.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: Who go throw the ball for them?
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't agree with that wholeheartedly.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: And it took me, I like figured this out on
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: air at get up where I was like, everyone who's
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: looking at the most favorable situation is someone who's looking
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: your people, the people who are looking at like the
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: roster and how close you are. When you're a coach
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: like John Harbaugh, you don't need to prove yourself early on.
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: you don't necessarily, if you look at the jobs that
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: are available, point to the quarterback that you want.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: To be tied to. It ain't there.
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: Like, outside of that, everywhere you're looking for a quarterback,
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: but you point to a spot where there is no GM,
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: which is huge, because no matter where John was going,
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: he was firing a GM, unless he went with Monty
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: Austin for it, which apparently out in Arizona they have, like,
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: a relationship.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: Maybe that would have worked out. But wherever he going,
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: y'all gone. He got that type of power, you know, right?
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: And he also can build up this team in the
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: image that he wants. I don't know that, like, if
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: Herbert's available, like, when his brother took the job, if
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson's available, you want to attach yourself to that.
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: But of the available jobs, is there... And, like, you
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: could take the Raiders job and get Mendoza. But, like,
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: if it's all about the roster... He's not in a position,
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: if you're a first year head coach, you're in a
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: position where like, man, I got to show they got
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: something this year or.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: The clock ticks.
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: But I think Harbaugh, what you want is an owner
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: that's willing to spend money and is committed to trying
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: to win, but also don't meddle too much. And you
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: might have that with Steven Ross, maybe.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: So I agree with everything that you're saying, right? First
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: of all, before I forget, Monty Ossenfort, hashtag white Monty.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: It's Monty with an I, by the way. And I
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: looked up a picture because I was like, huh, it
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: could go either way. And no, no, no, no, no.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: He is actually from Luverne, Minnesota. And, I mean, he
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: a white man with a baldy and a goatee. So, like,
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: maybe on the phone he sound like Monty. You know
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying? But just throwing that out there. My
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: thing with Miami is, I guess we've just been watching
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: 30 years of various levels of ineptitude from the franchise.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: And to me, it's not even a matter of them
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: having a great quarterback. What's the how are we supposed
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: to get one? And I don't know what the path
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: is there on it, because I agree with you in
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: the sum total point and the rest of the roster.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: I'm with you on. Hey, I'm John Harbaugh. Maybe you'll
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: give me some time. But at the same time, I
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: just saw them run Pete Carroll out of there after
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: one year. Now, granted, they look terrible, but I just
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: saw them run him out of there after one year.
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: And like Pete Carroll's not. he's not John Harbaugh just
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: because their resumes are somewhat similar. Pete Carroll was a
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: decision that they made when they couldn't get the guy
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: that they wanted. It wasn't like the cycle started and
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: everyone was like, Ooh, can we get Pete Carroll? Kind
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: of like, I know it sounds ridiculous now, but kind
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: of like how Bill Belichick was like, if you'd have
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: hired Bill Belichick, he was going to give him five
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: years at least to do some, figure something out.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: And I think that's the same thing.
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: And so I guess the real question is how long
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: are they under this, this Tua thing? And you know
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: what I thought of, sean payton as the last coach
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: that kind of felt like the way belichick feel or
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: excuse me the way that harbaugh feels right now and
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: sean payton was like.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna go let me holler at these waltons yeah
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: let me holler at these.
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: Waltons in denver and build something up here i know
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: we are underneath this ridiculous cap um restriction because of
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: the russell wilson deal like but We got an organization
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: that with young or new owners that got all the
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: money that are willing to pay what I need to
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: pay in order to make this roster complete, like commit
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: money past time and commit, commit to the facilities, commit
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: to me hiring the best coaching staff that I can
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: in front office.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: Like all that stuff is the stuff that we don't
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: talk about when we talk about choosing jobs.
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: But ultimately, if you're going to be there for a
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: long time, have sustained success, like it's not a coincidence
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: that we, there are certain teams that, that only pop
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: up in a Super Bowl once in a while because
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: they got hot, Cincinnati.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: I mean, keep it real. That's the Giants.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: They won those two Super Bowls, but when they won them,
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: it is exactly the scenario that you described because you
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: hear Harbaugh's name pop up with the Giants. We treat
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: the Jets like a joke, and it's fair to treat
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: the Jets like a joke. I've been living here for
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: the ninth football season that I've done here. They the same, dawg.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: They just wear different colors.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: And they also, like, it's branding. It's this branding also.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but the Giants have four Super Bowls, right? The
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: Giants had Lawrence Taylor, all of those things. But for
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: however many years, the Giants and the Jets, lo mismo,
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: as they say in Espanol, lo mismo.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't love that.
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's another one where it's like, if you're
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: going there as John Albaugh, then that's because you think
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: Jackson Dart has a chance to be a top of
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: the league quarterback. And that's, that's about it. And they
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: have a bunch, they have tackle. That's really good. They
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: have pass rusher or whole D line. That's really good.
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: Like they have some exciting pieces, but I think when
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: you're a coach like this, it's a mistake for us
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: to think that the best job is the best roster.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: Well, let me ask you this. If the Steelers get
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: ran by the Texans, which is on the board, And
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: they decide to let Mike Tomlin go. Now, of course,
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: the trick bag in this is it don't matter what
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: none of us think. The Steelers' decisions are made by
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: the Steelers, right? Like, I don't even know if they
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: got a telephone line for the fans to call in.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying? Nah.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: But let's say they let Mike Tomlin go. Would they
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: dare hire John Harbaugh?
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: Absolutely not. See, that's the thing.
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: I think a lot of teams are looking around and
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: are attracted to john harbaugh because they don't they haven't
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: lived that life like this life for 20 years of
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: being good and competitive they haven't lived that life the
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: the um dolphins like we could be the ravens we
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: could lose this we could have disappointment in the playoffs
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: every year that would be marvelous and maybe have a
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: chance to win a super bowl in 19 years that'd
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: be tremendous the i guarantee you it's not only that
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: he's a raven and that's like sacrilege to the steelers.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: Is that we the same. We the same.
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they're going to look at him and be like,
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: at least we can say that Tomlin didn't have a quarterback.
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: You had an MVP. Don't you bring your ass over
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: here with that. I do not think that the Steelers
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: fans would be excited about. They would make fun of
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: Ravens fans and have a good time with that, but
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: they would not be excited about bringing him in because
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: they live in the same neighborhood.
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: That's not an upgrade to them.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: They ain't trying to make no trade. They ain't trying
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: to switch it out. They ain't trying to bring in Stefanska.
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: They not trying to do wife swap.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: Not right there. They are not swapping up in that situation.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: The coaching thing was interesting because I don't think there
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: was anything that was shocking. The shock was that Mike
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: McDaniel had kept his job and they went ahead and
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: clinked up that situation. That one got taken care of.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: I don't know who the people are that people want
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: to hire, but I have to acknowledge about NFL coaching,
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: NBA coaching. I always say you can go get a broadcaster,
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: a dude off the street, whatever. I got no idea
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: who's going to turn out to be that guy. Usually
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: like guys that look terrible in press conferences. And in
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: spite of his success, this does include Nick Sirianni. They
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: typically are not the guy, right? Sirianni, again, the weirdest
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: case of any coach of all time. I don't know
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: what it'll take for him to get credit. I don't
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: know what it'll take for him to get fired. I
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: don't have any answers to any of those questions. But
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: I will say this. That goddamn Liam Cohen seemed like
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: the biggest dork in the world at that press conference
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: and then looked like an even bigger dork when he
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: made Robert Sala threaten to kill him. Dominique, he appears
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: to be very good at his job.
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: He does appear to be very good at his job.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: That's the thing. And it's also....
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: The more I think about it, it's like authenticity matters
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: as far as connecting with players and connecting with the
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: players really matters. Then after that, the scheme stuff matters.
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: You have to be able to connect with them in
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: order for the scheme stuff to be executed. And like
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: that trust and that commitment, that stuff you don't really,
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: like there've been coaches who've had a spike. So we'll
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: see if, if Liam Cohen's able to sustain this over
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: a while, but it seems clear.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: That he's had immediate impact.
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: And then there's like so many other variables that determine like,
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: this season started. I made this point a long time ago,
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: like around, I don't know, week seven or so where
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: their offense wasn't quite where it needed to be. And
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: their defense was getting ridiculous turnover luck. And they were
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: still in good spirits. And I was like, you know what?
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: These turnovers are buying them time. It's buying them time.
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: Cause they were, they could have been like under it.
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: Like three, two, three wins by then, but they were
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: winning games because they were having good turnover luck. And I,
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: That's one of the variables that I think put them
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: in this position now where they just ripped off eight
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: wins in a row, just dominated the Titans on their
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: way into the playoffs. And if, to your point about
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: like the branding difference in the New York teams, it's
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: like if the Jags was in a different uniform, the
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: way that they closed this season out with a number
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: one overall quarterback playing the way that he's been playing,
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: there'll be no questions asked.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: We expect them to rip through the playoffs. I think that.
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: Having the right, having a little bit of luck and
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: understanding that all the variables aren't always going to work out.
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: Like there've been great coaches that have failed before. There've
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: been bad coaches that have had a tremendous amount of success,
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: but right now it seems like they got a good
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: marriage there. And there's no reason to believe that it's
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: going to fall off for them anytime soon, but we'll
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: find out things break up.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: Well, and Trevor Lawrence is starting to look like what
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: we thought was going to happen.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: That's the, That's the big one. Coaching. But he wasn't
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: at the beginning of the season is my point.
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: Remember Liam Cohen was pounding on his chest, like hit
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: him here with it. Like Trevor wasn't doing it. That
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: defense was holding him together.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: Man, I wish some dude named Liam would talk to
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: me like that. You know what I'm saying? Like that's
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: the good for him, man. He was a college quarterback,
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: wasn't he, I think. Yeah, yeah. He kicked it at
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: UMass with Victor Cruz. That was his man. It's still like... Okay,
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: I guess this is... When he told Robert Sala to
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: keep my name out your mouth, I was.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: Just like, oh, Mr.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: White Man, what are we doing here?
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: I got to do a quick Liam Google to make
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: sure I'm right about this thing.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: By the way, do you know what Liam is short for?
• 23:45
  Speaker 5: Uh-uh.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: Liam is short for Williams. Oh, I had long wondered
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: where the hell these Liam's come from. But that is
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: the origin of the name Liam is that it's short
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: for William. And I think that's trying too hard to
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: make a nickname.
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: I thought Liam Liam's not a name.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: No, no. Liam is like even if it is a
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: name that it is, it is a derivative of William.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, but I was just like, wow, why
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: would you do that? Because I'd always wonder where the
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: hell it came from.
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: I know people named Dre, but I assume at one
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: point it wasn't a Dre, it was an Andre or
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: something like that.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, then Dre became so mainstream that every now and
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: then you just get a Dre.
• 24:25
  Speaker 6: Yep.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: Yep, yep, yep. Did you get what you were looking for?
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, sometimes we like to communicate in show, and I
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: just wanted to send you that, which I wasn't sure about.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: Let me see, let me see.
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: Word? Word? Yeah, keep his name on your mouth. Hey,
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: I can't.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay.
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: I thought so, but I had to double check for
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: my man Liam.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: Yo, that was him. Okay, I was trying to remember
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: who I had seen a picture of him and his folks. Yeah.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: It was him where I was like, yo, let me
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: zoom in on this picture a little bit more.
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: That's why he gives you that R & B Duvall.
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: That man, he like a little rhythm and blues.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you this though, he appears to have some
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: very strong genes. Them look like Mike McDaniel's kids.
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: The kids do.
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: They do look like when they are applying for NFL jobs,
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: they're going to.
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: Be like, no, no, no, we checked that box too. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: They're going to have to tell you.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, we don't really need to talk about it
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: that much. Let's focus on what we got in common, baby,

• 28:16
  Speaker 1: We mentioned very briefly that the Steelers, they're going to
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: be playing against Houston. Hey, man, Texans, that's the Monday
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: night game. Hey, Mike Tomlin, be careful. That's an isolated game.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: At the very least, you want to keep that one close,
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: and it is possible that the Texans can blow their
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: doors off.
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and yeah, it's prime time.
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: Everybody's going to be locked in, and It's not only,
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: there's another thing like you, I think it was a
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: long time ago when you started like bringing attention to
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: these Island games and how important they were, which I
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: started to notice recently is it's not just the Island game,
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: but it's the last game before the next day of programming.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: And it's like- A1, A1 on the rundown.
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: What? So the Thursday night games, you better not have
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: a bad showing on a Thursday night because we ain't
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: got nothing to do on Friday.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: You better not. You better not show.
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: So the thing on the Thursday night is worse because
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: the Monday night, we still going to talk about what
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: happened on the weekend. We're going to start with what
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: happened last night. But when you had a Thursday night game,
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: we projected nothing. You give us something to talk about.
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: So this is similar to that because it's a Monday
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: night game on the playoffs. And it's also the Steelers.
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: They're like one of these public teams that everyone loves
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: to talk about. And you better hope there's some some
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: madness over the weekend, because if it's not, I guess
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: it doesn't matter because it feels.
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: Like if there's any ownership group that doesn't respond.
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: To the fans' outrage, it might be the Steelers, but
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: we are going to tear his ass up on Tuesday
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: morning if it don't look good on Monday night.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: And the part of it is when they lose these
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: games and they don't play well, it don't be looking
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: in spite of him. He keeps it, and I don't
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: mean this pejoratively, but it's not a complex approach, at
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: least it doesn't seem like, to what they do there, right?
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: It's kind of a do what you're supposed to do,
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: and then everything from there will work itself out. But
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: they're running up on a team that's just got a
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: different level of talent than they have.
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: Especially, I mean, obviously, on defense.
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: This actually is not the worst matchup for them. It's
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: like their front could potentially, their defensive front could dominate
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: the Texans offense, which could keep the game close, but
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: in their favor is they don't have to start throwing
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: short passes and screens just because they scared of this
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: pass rush.
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: They scared of every pass rush. They that's their offense.
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: So that would be the argument for them, but there's
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: no weak spots on, on this defense and the Steelers offense.
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: They get DK back, which helps, but they don't feel
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: like they have an advantage anywhere on that side of
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: the ball.
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, now I can take this back to coaching carousel
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: because that carousel ain't really finished. Saturday night might be
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: Matt LaFleur's last game as the coach of the Packers.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: Sunday at 1 o'clock, low-key could be Sean McDermott's last
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: game because they got the Jacksonville. They play against Jacksonville
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: on the road, and it just ain't for so long
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: that you can keep going with this. It's kind of
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: what happened with Harbaugh. It's only for so long that
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: coaching quarterback can keep going and not wind up at
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: least playing for the championship. before somebody decides to make
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: a decision. And LeFleur, I don't really know what's going
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: on there. I seem to think more highly of him
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: than his bosses do.
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that those situations are slightly different in
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: that the Bills situation seems obviously much more like the
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: Lamar situations where they gonna holler at my man after
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: he's all said and done and be like, hey, hey, menace,
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: do you believe?
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: All right, we good.
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: And if the menace take a second to think about it,
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: they're going to be like, oh, what's it like? Let's
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: go look around. But I think the LeFleur thing in
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: Green Bay is definitely different. And Stefanski became an attractive
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: candidate because of this year's crop. As soon as he
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: got fired, I think that LeFleur, his contract is expiring soon, right?
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: That's the major situation there. Next year, I think, will
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: be the lame duck year. Oh, next year will be
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: the lame duck year.
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: I think so.
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: Right, right, right, right.
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: So he has one more year. Coaches don't go into
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: a contract with the final year of the contract. It
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: never really happens unless it's one of these particularly cheap teams.
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: So this is the extension time, right? So he has
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: the rest of this year and then next year, right?
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so normally because and whether it's true or not,
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: but because they want the coach to have ultimate power
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: and respect in the locker room, they won't let a
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: coach coach his lame duck season. So this is effectively
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: a year where they have to give him an extension
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: or move on from him. So he might be looking around.
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: The problem is he got a quarterback and a, and
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: a team that seems to consistently with good accounts, goodie man,
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: he'd be filling.
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: That roster man consistently. Like I wouldn't want to go nowhere.
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: However, he might be someone who's like, man, let me
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: get up out of here because right now it's a
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: buyer's market, man.
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: It's a buyer's market.
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: And he might want to get out there as a
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: quarterback guy and, because there's tons of good defensive assistants
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: out there. But if you're a mediocre offensive guy, they're
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: going to move you to the top of the list
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: because they have this foolish misconception that they are smarter
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: over there than we.
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: Are over here.
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: Now, can you imagine a world in which Lamar Jackson
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: tries to get himself out of Baltimore? Because he kind
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: of could if he wanted to, right? Like, no guaranteed
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: money left on his deal, a crazy high cap. Like,
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: they got to do something with his deal pronto. Yeah.
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: I mean, I assume that this was the first step
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: and that's the interesting thing about like, I know the
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: thing about him not having an agent comes up often,
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: but him not having an agent and also him not
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: being like super gregarious is like, I wouldn't have made
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: this move unless I had an understanding. Like I would
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: love him being unique in that way is I would
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: normally make the leap that they got that figured out.
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: It's like, this was a conversation. If this was, just
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: about any other player, I'd be like, oh, well, if
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: they did that, that means they got that figured out.
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: Because they don't want to end up in a world
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: where they have neither of those guys.
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: I just know our man Kravitz had a great idea.
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: Lamar forced himself to Atlanta. LeFleur, find your way to
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: Atlanta and let Matt LeFleur have Lamar Jackson, B. John Robinson,
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: Kyle Pitts, and Drake London. Now, of course, the Falcons
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: don't have a first-round pick this year, which would make
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: it very difficult for them to make that move. But
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: good God, if that happened, they'd never have to throw.
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: In that division.
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: They're playing bums.
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: Go ahead and get that bye every year. Go ahead
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: and get that bye every year. Keep the defensive coordinator.
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: Hey, you ever think that Arthur Blank feel bad about
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: holding the line about that Lamar Jackson thing a couple
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: years ago when they was all colluding to not give
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: him some deal? I'm like, you was too old to
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: be acting like this, dog.
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: I don't know, man. I can't imagine that that It's
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: so dumb.
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: Arthur Blank renegotiating his deal. You know what I'm saying?
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: Every year. There's a big cap hit looming right around
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: the corner every day for Arthur Blank. And instead of
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: finding a way to make it happen, renegotiate. Nah, man.
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: He should have been like, fuck y'all. What you want,
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: young man? You come play for us.
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, y'all can be mad at me.
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, y'all wind up, they traded picks to get, what,
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: the James Pierce dude. Did they have to move some
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: stuff around to get? No, they did not move things
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: around to get Michael Penix. They just gave Kirk Cousins
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: a zillion dollars. Come on. And then drafted a quarterback
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: with a first-round pick. Come on, dog.
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: That was absurd, especially when Lamar was gettable. Yeah, yeah, yeah, nah.
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: What you think about their 49ers-Eagles game? Because I watched
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: the 49ers play last week for the first time, and
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: I don't know how long. And I told you, they
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: had 11 dudes on defense. I ain't never heard of
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: 10 of them. And the 11th, I saw Patrick Mahomes
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: walk through on the goal line one time.
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they in trouble, man.
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: And you saw that offense that seemed unstoppable get stopped
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: by a really good defense.
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: They going up against another really good defense. And I think.
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: which will, if nothing else, slow that offense. But their
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: defense is not a sophisticated, complicated defense. And when you
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: have something like that, you got to have players, right?
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: You can't, like, I'd say Brian Flores, I think, will
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: elevate guys and take, he's capable of taking guys because
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: the defense will trick and confuse people. That 49ers, since
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: Kyle Shanahan's been there and through a number of coordinators,
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: it's never been complicated.
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: It's like, we gonna whoop that ass and we're not
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: gonna confuse ourselves.
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: We're gonna play zone on the back end and whoop
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: that ass up front. You ain't got no ass whoopers
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: up there no more, man. You saw what the Eagles
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: look like when they played some bad defenses late in
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: the season.
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: They played the Raiders and they played the Commanders. They scored.
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: They moved the ball. So I don't see the.
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: It's nuts because the 49ers were a few points away
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: from being the number one overall seed, but honestly don't
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: see them putting up too much of a fight.
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: Against If they had won that game, they wouldn't have
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: had to leave the crib until 2026. Well, I guess
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: it is 2026, but you understand what I'm saying. The
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: official 2026 season. They would have had home field advantage
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: and the Super Bowl was at the crib if they
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: managed to get that far. Now, they was never going
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: to get that far.
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: They can't stay healthy, man.
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: Nah, look, man, I just need the Eagles to keep
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: it fun, baby. That's the thing about this. If the
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: Eagles could just keep it. It's a role game, too,
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: so you never know what might happen. Like, the Eagles
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: need to just keep this close and then barely win.
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: And Sirianni seemed way too confident in himself. So we
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: could have clips of A.J. Brown looking at him again, like,
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: look at this. You see that? Look at this fool, man.
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, after that Bills game, man. It was a bad throw, man.
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: It was a bad throw. And some great defense by
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: young Vic Fangio. I guess not young, but Vic Fangio
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: and those guys. And he was walking through the locker
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: room or walking through that tunnel like, Like he just
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: adjusted the shit out of that thing. Like he out
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: adjusted everybody at half Tyler, man.
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: AJ does not take you seriously at all.
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: You saw Miles Garrett rolling his eyes at Stefanski.
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: Oh my God. That was so funny. He's like, I
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: don't lie.
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: And he was like, it was magical.
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: Like you think we don't know that like that, that
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: was that. Honestly, if I had been Jimmy Haslam and
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: I had been thinking about keeping him and then I
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: saw that video.
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: Now you got to go job.
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah. To be fair, you can go on the roster,
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: any roster and find some players who don't like their coach.
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: But if it's Miles Garrett giving the side-eye, we can't
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: play that.
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: Well, hold on.
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: It's the side-eye, and he wasn't side-eyeing into space. He
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: clearly had locked eyes with somebody else. Clearly, that sounded
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: like they'd be talking all the time about how he'd
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: be lying.
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: He's like, I don't lie. Have I ever lied to you?
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: I would love to get a list. Like the NFLPA
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: needs to do that where they got to take the survey.
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: of the facilities and the cafeteria and all those different things.
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: Like a list of who be lying, like a Pinocchio
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: index of coaches where they just be lying. Like they
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: be lying about stuff that you ain't even got to
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: lie about.
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: That's the thing is that the coaches who should be
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: against the PA doing something like that are the coaches
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: who don't lie. Because you know what that's going to do?
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: That's going to encourage the rest of y'all to be decent.
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: Yes. And that might make you better coaches.
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: Like, we're not stupid. We know what's going on here.
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: Tell me the truth, and I'll believe in you. I'll
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: run through a wall and tell me the truth. Oh, no, see,
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: this is where I disagree with you. It's because them cats,
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: they just be lying.
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: It's a lifestyle. So you can tell everybody that they
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: be lying, and you know what they going to do?
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: Lie about the fact that they be lying. That's fair.
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: There's no truth that a lie can't fix.
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: That's true. You don't think that there is... I agree
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: that there are some people.
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: I've been around long enough to know some people, they
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: just be lying. But you don't think there's some middle
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: ground of people who are lying for advantage or lying
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: for ease. It's like, I go see this player, it's
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: much easier to tell him that he got a chance
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: to make this team and that he's starting or he's
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: benched because the guy in front of him is better
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: than him. Or the guy in front of him, or
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: you tell him whatever you got to tell him. This
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: guy is, he's better in this position because of whatever reason.
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: Then to be honest and be like, look, we got
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: a lot of money tied up in him. He going
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: to get all the chances.
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: Or is this a matter of, because the guys that
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: you just described right there, they don't have that much leverage.
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: So like finding out who be lying, they don't really
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: get to do something about it. How about if we
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: could somehow like, you know how you got like adjusted
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: DVO way, adjusted net yards per attempt, right? The lion
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: is adjusted for how good a player is or is not.
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: Like you can't be lying to your best player, but
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: you can lie to these bums. Maybe you got a
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: little bit more leeway in that regard.
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: I like next-gen lion statistics. We got the advanced analytics
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: on you. Live VOA.
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: We on live VOA, right? Like, is it different? And
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: so people don't know how DVOA works. It works from
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: down to down. And so if you get 10 yards
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: on second and eight, that is treated as more impactful
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: than getting 10 yards on second and 17, right? It's
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: as a function of yards to go is the way
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: that they come up with the formula. And so, yeah, man,
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: if you, you know, these 30 and 18 cats on
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: the bottom, tell them all kinds of lies. You know,
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: but that 31 up there, you better be straight up
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: with him.
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: I can't tell you no lies, man.
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: That's absolutely right.
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: Brother, I can't even lie. I can't lie to you. Yeah.
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: Uh-uh. I'm going to keep it real with you. You
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: can tell who you want to tell.
• 42:37
  Speaker 3: Maybe you can tell them the truth, but I'm going
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: to keep it real with you.
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: Oh, gosh.
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: And in football, it seemed like the kind of place where, like,
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: you might as well just tell the truth.
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: That's my thought, man. I never got the coaches who
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: was out there lying to anybody, even the second and
• 42:55
  Speaker 3: 18 guys.
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: Like, we ain't dumb. We know the deal.
• 42:58
  Speaker 3: By the time you got here, especially these modern players
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: who are in college in a way that's more professional
• 43:03
  Speaker 3: than it's ever been, who are transferring from year to year.
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: Like, let's keep it real, man. Like, my hands are
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: tied on some things. I want to do this.
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: I know Jeff told on my show the other day, Saturday,
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: was talking about how his O-line coach back in the
• 43:17
  Speaker 3: day was like, look, we all working towards the same thing.
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: I'm going to tell you how I want to do it.
• 43:22
  Speaker 3: If you do it your way out there, better work.
• 43:25
  Speaker 3: But if you do it my way, I can tell
• 43:26
  Speaker 3: you how to fix it. But, like, we all going
• 43:28
  Speaker 3: to get fired. Like, I don't want to fight you.
• 43:30
  Speaker 3: That's the thing that coaches make that mistake all the
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: time where it's like it's such– They're so like incentivized
• 43:36
  Speaker 3: to be top down.
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: It was like the best teams I ever.
• 43:38
  Speaker 3: Been around was the ones where we was much closer
• 43:42
  Speaker 3: to peers and we would be honest about it.
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: Like, yeah, we got to do this. I don't feel
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: comfortable about this matchup. You know what?
• 43:49
  Speaker 3: I would never say that to anybody who I didn't
• 43:51
  Speaker 3: trust and believe in. Right.
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: I'm not lying. I got him. Don't worry.
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: I got him.
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Worried as hell.
• 44:00
  Speaker 3: No, I don't want no safety over here. You know
• 44:03
  Speaker 3: how many times I told him I ain't need no
• 44:04
  Speaker 3: safety help? Never tell nobody I need no safety help,
• 44:07
  Speaker 3: but I was hoping. I was hoping that he knew.
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: You want to slide a little something over there, baby.
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, if you need
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: it somewhere else, go ahead. You put it over there.
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: But I'm just saying, if he ain't spoken for.
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: If he ain't doing nothing else.
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: Bring him on over here.
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: Just a couple steps.
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: A couple steps. Yeah, this show. This show's in color
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: over there.
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: Hey, how bad would it look for Justin Herbert? if Drake,
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: if they going on the road to play against new England,
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: but if, if Drake made a quarterback over there and
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: he out plays Justin Herbert, I mean, let's not forget
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: Justin Herbert was out there when they blew that lead
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: to the Jaguars that year.
• 44:49
  Speaker 3: I think the thing with Justin Herbert is he's got
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: so much.
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: He's already got the built in excuse.
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: I think we look at this season for Jeff, Justin
• 44:57
  Speaker 3: Herbert already as a demonstration and over and overcoming. Like
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: it's not only that he lost his tackles, is that
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: that team was built around having two incredible tackles. And
• 45:11
  Speaker 3: you didn't go from, like, having one good tackle or
• 45:14
  Speaker 3: two mediocre tackles to having, like, bad offensive line. You
• 45:18
  Speaker 3: went from saying, like, yeah, we don't got the best
• 45:22
  Speaker 3: receiver in the league, but, you know, we got these
• 45:24
  Speaker 3: tackles that we can do whatever we want with that. So, like, ultimately,
• 45:28
  Speaker 3: I think if I'd have told you, not if I'd
• 45:30
  Speaker 3: have told you, before this season started, when they was
• 45:32
  Speaker 3: all hurt, I was like, damn, lost year.
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: So it feels unfair.
• 45:36
  Speaker 3: Well, maybe people will do it, but it honestly, it
• 45:38
  Speaker 3: feels unfair to, I guess it depends on how he plays,
• 45:42
  Speaker 3: but it feels unfair to then go and be like, eh, Justin.
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: Herbert, you do stink. Nah, kind of overachieved, all things considered.
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: I want to bring up one last thing before we
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: start wrapping this up to get out of here. And
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw this. What you know
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: about Jendricus?
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: Hold on, hold on.
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: Y'all know about Ginger Cuz?
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: Hold on.
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: I got to send you. I've been saving this all
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: week to show you Ginger Cuz. I don't really understand.
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: I want to know the full thought process on this.
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: But for those who don't know, I've just sent this
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: to Dominique. And I think that they'll be able to
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: put this on the screen for YouTube.
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: But when the.
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: Seahawks were named division champs, Marshawn Lynch sent out a tweet.
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: And it was a picture with a bunch of guys
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: on the team. Um, and the demographics were largely as
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: an NFL team goes and Marshawn Lynch sent a tweet
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: because Marshawn Lynch somehow gets to say whatever he wants.
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: And his tweet said, and I will quote, but not
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: quote good shit, young in words. And then it's like,
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: he looked around the room and said, and ginger cuz
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: in reference to Sam Darnold. So Sam Darnold is now
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: hashtag ginger cuz.
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: You know what?
• 46:59
  Speaker 3: The thing that jumps out to me the most is like,
• 47:03
  Speaker 3: if I'm Cooper Cupp, am I complimented or offended?
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: Like, are you including me or are you excluding me? Like,
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: am I part of the crew?
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: Well, first of all, in this picture, Cooper Cupp looked
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: like he in the same rap group with that white
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: boy off of Beverly Hills 90210 that used to be rapping. Like,
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: he got curls and stuff. Like, he looked like he
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: had a boy band out there, right?
• 47:26
  Speaker 3: Uh but he's a bad boy though but he's a
• 47:28
  Speaker 3: bad boy yeah yeah he got a leather jacket and
• 47:30
  Speaker 3: holy deeds that's fair but.
• 47:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah he calls he calls sam darlin jim because have
• 47:35
  Speaker 5: you seen uh marcus teague jeff teague's brother on 520
• 47:38
  Speaker 5: telling the story about how they was somewhere and uh
• 47:43
  Speaker 5: he was with the celtics and jason collins was on
• 47:46
  Speaker 5: the team and they i think they ain't going to
• 47:47
  Speaker 5: china somewhere and again we're going to paraphrase here um
• 47:52
  Speaker 5: And Kevin Garnett's getting everybody hype.
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: And he's like, yeah, we're going to have all the girls.
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: Hell yeah.
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: And then he looked at Jason Collins and was like, oh,
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: we're going to get something for you too.
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: We got something.
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: We're going to get something for you too. And that's
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: kind of how Ginger Curz felt. Like keeping in mind
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: that he could have just completely edited his tweet.
• 48:18
  Speaker 7: It's written a bit differently to include everybody. No, no, no.
• 48:23
  Speaker 7: That is not a good tweet. An edited tweet is
• 48:26
  Speaker 7: not a good tweet. You would not have shared it
• 48:28
  Speaker 7: with me if he was like, you know what?
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: Let me fix this.
• 48:31
  Speaker 3: Let me call them my brothers. Nah, I can't include that.
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: And ginger cuz.
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: KG, man, I did see that story. And it's funny.
• 48:42
  Speaker 3: It's how I feel about, like, we got to remember it's,
• 48:47
  Speaker 3: it's progress, you know?
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 48:49
  Speaker 3: Like, and it don't always, I imagine that Kevin Garnett
• 48:52
  Speaker 3: grew up a lot. Like we grew up as far
• 48:54
  Speaker 3: as like the way that you feel and think about
• 48:56
  Speaker 3: things and the way that people around you talk about it.
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: That was a big jump up for him, for him
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: to be like, don't worry, brother, we will find what
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: works for you.
• 49:03
  Speaker 3: And I, this, this is something that I've been thinking
• 49:06
  Speaker 3: about it. Maybe this is something that I should not share.
• 49:09
  Speaker 3: Maybe I will share it as some, or maybe you'll
• 49:11
  Speaker 3: edit it out or whatever. But it's like, when I
• 49:14
  Speaker 3: think back on, times when we could have done something better.
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: As a society.
• 49:21
  Speaker 3: You got to congratulate people for progress that they've made.
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: I agree.
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: Like, that was the big thing. Like, I get it.
• 49:29
  Speaker 3: My football mindset is, let's get better. That one's behind us.
• 49:34
  Speaker 3: Let's get better. And while we should celebrate the people
• 49:38
  Speaker 3: who are in the places who have overcome, we also
• 49:41
  Speaker 3: got to remember to celebrate the people who encouraged and
• 49:47
  Speaker 3: allowed it to overcome.
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: Like February need to be about them too.
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: Brother, do you know how much I would love to
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: see some video of Kevin Garnett on the streets of Shanghai?
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: Try to find a.
• 49:58
  Speaker 4: Man for Jason Collins. Like, no, not me. My friend,
• 50:06
  Speaker 4: he over there. He's so determined, too. I don't think
• 50:10
  Speaker 4: he would let the language barrier get in the way.
• 50:12
  Speaker 3: That man, he gonna bang his head on the stanchion
• 50:16
  Speaker 3: and then hit the streets like, hey, what's up?
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: What you think? You all right?
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: And talking with his hands, right? Because you got to
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: talk with your hands when you don't speak the language, right?
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: It's like playing charades.
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: You got to try to come up. This is definitely
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: for not on air. Like the hand motions.
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: We keeping this. I'm not saying which hand motions.
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, no.
• 50:38
  Speaker 3: I'm saying the next part where I was going after that.
• 50:42
  Speaker 2: I was like, how are you wishing to communicate what
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: you want to communicate? No, no, no.
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: The next question for Marshawn Lynch is, does he know
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: Sam Darnold's name? Like, did he look at that picture
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: and was left uncertain which was Cooper Cup and which
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: was Sam Holt?
• 51:03
  Speaker 3: I think the prominence of the photo assumed it was
• 51:05
  Speaker 3: a quarterback. I think it's more likely that he did
• 51:08
  Speaker 3: not know his name, which, like, is consistent with the
• 51:12
  Speaker 3: trajectory that Marshawn Lynch is on.
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: As, like, he's headed fast for, like, cool-ass old dude. Yeah.
• 51:21
  Speaker 3: Cool-ass old dude don't know nobody's name. Nicknames for everybody.
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: What if he was like, hey, cuz, I didn't know
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: Andy Dalton was still playing, cuz?
• 51:30
  Speaker 3: Ginger cuz. I'm sure that's going to get picked up.
• 51:33
  Speaker 3: They probably got the t-shirts printed already. They're going to
• 51:35
  Speaker 3: be people at the game like ginger cuz.
• 51:38
  Speaker 2: Ginger cuz. Better get it together, though.
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: By the way, we're going to talk about them next
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: week because they don't play this week because they had
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: the best record in the NFC. They are really good.
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: And it really does only come down to Gentricus.
• 51:55
  Speaker 3: Boy, like, they were fortunate. So I did that game
• 51:59
  Speaker 3: with the playbook telecast. So, like, we dived deep into
• 52:02
  Speaker 3: the action. It was the first time I, like, kind
• 52:04
  Speaker 3: of called the game. And in preparing for that game,
• 52:07
  Speaker 3: I watched so much film and was not surprised at
• 52:12
  Speaker 3: what I saw on the field by the film that
• 52:13
  Speaker 3: I watched. And he made a really great play on
• 52:15
  Speaker 3: the third and ten where he scrambled until somebody got
• 52:17
  Speaker 3: open and connected it late in the game. But the
• 52:19
  Speaker 3: way that they were calling that game, and you get
• 52:22
  Speaker 3: the all 22 when you watch the playbook way, and
• 52:26
  Speaker 3: it was not great, man.
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: It was not great.
• 52:28
  Speaker 3: They got so fortunate that that 49ers defense couldn't stop
• 52:32
  Speaker 3: the run. They're a team that doesn't run the ball well.
• 52:33
  Speaker 3: They ran it well better recently or lately, but they
• 52:37
  Speaker 3: don't run the ball well. They're most likely going to
• 52:38
  Speaker 3: run into some teams that's going to force Ginger Cuz
• 52:41
  Speaker 3: to make some plays, and the coaches don't believe in
• 52:44
  Speaker 3: Ginger Cuz at this point.
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: Dude, it's year eight of this season. And we still hold,
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: they still, I ain't going to say we, because it's they.
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: And yeah, I mean they. Still hold now hope for
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: Jinder Cuzz, man. They refuse to give up on Jinder Cuzz.
• 52:59
  Speaker 3: But to be fair to them, as soon as they
• 53:02
  Speaker 3: was ready to give up on him, he was supposed
• 53:04
  Speaker 3: to be a bench warmer in Minnesota.
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: He went off. He did.
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: He did.
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: But hey, but look at the way the year before
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: that Shanahan was talking about him. Like it was still like,
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: We are in a world where the platonic ideal quarterback
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: for the most, like the kind of prototype type now
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: for offensive mind is Kirk Cousins. That is so insane.
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: You think so?
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: I feel like we've moved.
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's what Kyle has said for all this time.
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: The fact that his brain ever said that. But all
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: these guys, it's the new West Coast offense in the
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: sense that they just like, hey, if you just do
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: what I say, but you got to lose. And it's
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: never that simple, guys.
• 53:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 53:49
  Speaker 3: And, I mean, Kyle stumbled into a guy in Purdy
• 53:53
  Speaker 3: who is not that.
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: That is very true.
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: He's not that.
• 53:57
  Speaker 3: Like, the one thing that I'll give Purdy that falls
• 54:00
  Speaker 3: into that category is he will trust the play.
• 54:04
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 54:05
  Speaker 3: And he'll throw. Like, he talks about this often. He'll
• 54:07
  Speaker 3: throw blindly. But Purdy, my man, hit that Dougie like
• 54:11
  Speaker 3: he is. his play style is consistent with the way
• 54:14
  Speaker 3: that he behaves out there. And I think you got
• 54:17
  Speaker 3: to have some of that. You got to have a
• 54:19
  Speaker 3: little bit of that variable out there. And ginger cuz
• 54:22
  Speaker 3: don't bring that variable too much, man.
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: High stakes for gender cuz we going to see. But
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: that is Dominique Foxworth. Check him out on the Dominique
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: Foxworth show available. We're all fine podcast giving away for free.
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: My brother, I appreciate you.
• 54:37
  Speaker 2: Thank you, sir.
• 54:38
  Speaker 6: All right, Bo, before we get out of here, we're
• 54:40
  Speaker 6: going to do three quick questions presented by FanDuel. Peach
• 54:43
  Speaker 6: Bowl is tonight. Oregon playing Indiana. Indiana favored by three
• 54:47
  Speaker 6: and a half points. Do you expect this big run
• 54:51
  Speaker 6: by Indiana and Kurt Cignetti to continue tonight?
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: I expect it to continue. Look, they beat Oregon in
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: their own house a.
• 54:58
  Speaker 2: Couple of months ago.
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: Maybe Dan Lanning will just cook up the magic formula
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: to come out here and beat them. But I have
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: no reason to think that Indiana is going to lose
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: to anybody based on what we see. Right.
• 55:09
  Speaker 6: I mean, they've had the best coach all year. They've had,
• 55:11
  Speaker 6: you know, we've had our questions about Mendoza, but he's
• 55:13
  Speaker 6: been the best quarterback all year and on a neutral side.
• 55:16
  Speaker 6: You know, it sort of just feels like their year.
• 55:20
  Speaker 6: everything that's happened. Reports came out Thursday. Kurt Cignetti looks
• 55:24
  Speaker 6: like he's getting a contract extension. He's going to be
• 55:27
  Speaker 6: paid $ 12. 5 million per year. Mark Cuban's coming in on
• 55:31
  Speaker 6: their NIL. Do you think he's the best coach in
• 55:33
  Speaker 6: college football right now?
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, he had the best coaching season in the world.
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: I say the world, and I mean that literally.
• 55:41
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: Last year.
• 55:42
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: And then he did it again this year, except even better.
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: It's the most impressive coaching thing that I could think
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: of anybody ever pulling off. Who's better? If somebody's better,
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: I can't tell you who that person is right now.
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: It's almost at that point now where when you talk
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: about who the greatest rapper of all time is, maybe
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: you don't have the same answer as me, but there's
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: some people who have to be in the discussion. This
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: man in two years has absolutely put himself at the
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: top of the discussion.
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 56:12
  Speaker 6: You go 25 and two at Indiana and, and, you know,
• 56:17
  Speaker 6: Bloomington of all places. And then, you know, currently the
• 56:20
  Speaker 6: favorites to win the national title.
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: And the two were against Ohio state Notre Dame last year,
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: if I recall.
• 56:25
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 56:25
  Speaker 6: But yeah, Ohio state who won the national title last
• 56:28
  Speaker 6: year and Notre Dame, who was the runner up.
• 56:30
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 56:30
  Speaker 6: So that's a, Again, an absurd job from a coach
• 56:34
  Speaker 6: coming from James Madison. And finally, a lot of rumors
• 56:37
  Speaker 6: have come around as quarterbacks start to clarify the draft,
• 56:39
  Speaker 6: what Oregon quarterback Dante Moore is going to do. If
• 56:43
  Speaker 6: you were Dante Moore, would you stay at Oregon and
• 56:45
  Speaker 6: get drafted to get possibly drafted by the New York Jets?
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: Hey, man, for the money that it looked like these
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: college quarterbacks are getting, I would much rather make $ 5
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: million a year playing for Oregon. than to make $ 10
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: million a year playing for the fucking Jets. I can't
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: make this any clearer. I mean, there's no way around it.
• 57:04
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no.
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: If I can keep getting this money and living this
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: college life, or I could go live with the misery
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: that has been the Jets, oh, no, no, no, no, no. Like,
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: if they told you you could play against the Jets,
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: at least then you know you'd never throw any interceptions.
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: Maybe we talking about something different, right?
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: But we not.
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: We talk about playing for the Jets. I would stay
• 57:25
