Latest / NFL Game Previews / 10 Takes with Kyle Brandt: Count how many times I say 'fascinating'
Transcript
- 0:04Speaker 1: Ten Takes is a production of the NFL in partnership
- 0:07Speaker 1: with iHeartRadio. Ten Takes ten minutes. It's very simple. It's
- 0:18Speaker 1: a promise, it's a pledge, it's a commitment, and we
- 0:20Speaker 1: do it every single week. Thank you for clicking, and
- 0:23Speaker 1: I'm going to deliver just as advertised. I'm about to
- 0:25Speaker 1: set the clock. If I don't get the ten takes
- 0:27Speaker 1: in in time, the bomb will explode. Jack Bauer from
- 0:30Speaker 1: twenty four is my muse. I got all kinds of
- 0:33Speaker 1: things that talk about coming off this week. I have
- 0:35Speaker 1: ten minutes to do it. Let's go take number one.
- 0:41Speaker 1: It's gonna be hilarious if the Eagles win the Super
- 0:43Speaker 1: Bowl and never lose another game, because they're going to
- 0:45Speaker 1: be nineteen and one, all right, There'll be a nineteen
- 0:49Speaker 1: and one team and the only loss will be to
- 0:53Speaker 1: Zach Wilson. I want that to happen in a way.
- 0:56Speaker 1: If the Eagles aren't going to win this whole thing,
- 0:58Speaker 1: can you imagine they'll be looked at as one of
- 0:59Speaker 1: the greatest of all time, one of the greatest records
- 1:01Speaker 1: of all time, ten twenty thirty, forty five years from now,
- 1:05Speaker 1: they'll look back on the twenty twenty three Eagles of
- 1:07Speaker 1: nineteen to one Super Bowl champs, and Zach Wilson was
- 1:09Speaker 1: the only one to beat him. Look the Chicago Bears,
- 1:12Speaker 1: eighty five Bears, they only lost one game, but they
- 1:15Speaker 1: lost to Dan Marino. Zach Wilson would be the answer
- 1:19Speaker 1: to the trivia question. Zach Wilson will be able to
- 1:21Speaker 1: do signings. He will show up to appearances based on
- 1:24Speaker 1: being the only team to beat the Eagles, Because until
- 1:28Speaker 1: the Eagles decide to lose a game, I don't know
- 1:30Speaker 1: if they're going to lose another one. This was supposed
- 1:32Speaker 1: to be the one. All these annoying, little bizarre circumstances
- 1:37Speaker 1: should have led up to them losing this game to Buffalo.
- 1:39Speaker 1: It's wet and windy, all right, Lane Johnson is out,
- 1:44Speaker 1: he's a scratch, doesn't play the right tackle. You get
- 1:47Speaker 1: the Superman game from Josh Allen, the full powers, four touchdowns, running, throwing,
- 1:52Speaker 1: doing it all. At the end of the game, even
- 1:56Speaker 1: when you're about to kick the tyne field goal, Kelsey
- 1:59Speaker 1: of all people, world's sexiest man, missus makes them move
- 2:03Speaker 1: back for five yards for a false start, for two
- 2:05Speaker 1: for flinching, and then he does it again. It's like
- 2:09Speaker 1: they're trying to give the game away and they still don't.
- 2:12Speaker 1: They have a magnetic attraction to winning. It's still never
- 2:16Speaker 1: this glorious Rembrandt and who gives a damn? They're ten
- 2:19Speaker 1: and one, ten and one, with that one lost being
- 2:22Speaker 1: a Zach Wilson I find hilarious. Take number two. The
- 2:25Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. They're not serious people right now. They're six
- 2:30Speaker 1: and six. They've lost three and four and four and six.
- 2:33Speaker 1: They've over the last two months lost to the teams
- 2:35Speaker 1: that matter. They've beaten the teams that don't matter. They
- 2:39Speaker 1: beat the Bejesus out of the Jets, they beat the
- 2:41Speaker 1: New York Giants, but they lose to the Denver Broncos.
- 2:44Speaker 1: They lost to the Jacksonville Jaguars. And they're not done.
- 2:47Speaker 1: They're going into the bye. I feel like it's week
- 2:49Speaker 1: fifty that they've waited for this buye. Finally, the Buffalo Bills,
- 2:52Speaker 1: the six and six twenty twenty three Buffalo Bills go
- 2:54Speaker 1: into the bye. If you're mcdermol, don't you have to
- 2:56Speaker 1: do one of these things. Just get out of here.
- 2:58Speaker 1: No film, no exercise, no treatment, get out of here,
- 3:01Speaker 1: be with your families. Reset, because when they come back,
- 3:04Speaker 1: they have to go four and one. And if you
- 3:05Speaker 1: think I'm gonna say I still believe in the Bills,
- 3:07Speaker 1: You're damn right. I still believe in the Bills.
- 3:09Speaker 2: Four and one.
- 3:10Speaker 1: They have to win at Arrowhead in the regular season,
- 3:11Speaker 1: which they've done before. They're not afraid of. They have
- 3:13Speaker 1: to beat the Cowboys they're not afraid of. Then there's
- 3:16Speaker 1: some couple who cares teams and then a week eighteen
- 3:18Speaker 1: against the Miami Dolls go four and one. They'll make
- 3:20Speaker 1: the playoffs. They're not a team that matters right now.
- 3:22Speaker 1: They're not serious people, but they can become serious people.
- 3:25Speaker 1: Take number three, Frank Reich is fired. People look at
- 3:30Speaker 1: this job. Here's why you would want the panther's job.
- 3:32Speaker 2: I heard that.
- 3:32Speaker 1: Take who is David Tepper ever gonna hire after this?
- 3:36Speaker 1: All he does is fire coaches. He fires coaches and
- 3:38Speaker 1: the football team he owns in the soccer team he owns,
- 3:41Speaker 1: even fires coaches left and right. Who's ever gonna want
- 3:43Speaker 1: that job?
- 3:44Speaker 2: Well?
- 3:44Speaker 1: Number one, someone who really likes money is gonna pay
- 3:47Speaker 1: him a ton of it. And someone who likes signing
- 3:49Speaker 1: a big coaching contract getting fired and then not having
- 3:52Speaker 1: to work and still get paid, just like Matt Ruhle
- 3:55Speaker 1: is doing, just like Frank Reich is doing. It's the
- 3:57Speaker 1: worst coaching gig you could have. Are you saying that
- 4:00Speaker 1: staying at home and making millions of dollars after you
- 4:02Speaker 1: get fired by David Tepper is a bad gig. It's
- 4:04Speaker 1: an incredible gig. People should line up and fight for that.
- 4:06Speaker 1: And if you don't care about the Panthers and you're
- 4:08Speaker 1: rolling your eyes that the terrible Panthers fired their coach,
- 4:11Speaker 1: remember this is a ripple effect type firing. You know
- 4:15Speaker 1: who should be terrified about the Panthers fining Frank Raig
- 4:17Speaker 1: the Bears, because the Bears have their pick and it's
- 4:20Speaker 1: the number one damn pick in a Superstar draft. So
- 4:24Speaker 1: if you're a Bears fan, all you want the Panthers
- 4:26Speaker 1: to do is just lie down and die. Don't fire anyone,
- 4:28Speaker 1: don't replace anyone, don't promote anyone. Just keep losing so
- 4:31Speaker 1: we can get the number one pick. You don't want
- 4:33Speaker 1: to get that sweet juice of the interim head coaching
- 4:36Speaker 1: bump that everybody gets. You know, the Panthers are going
- 4:38Speaker 1: to mess this up and win one or two games
- 4:40Speaker 1: and the Bears are gonna get screwed out the number
- 4:41Speaker 1: one pick. You know who should be happy, the Arizona
- 4:44Speaker 1: Cardinals and the New England Patriots, because if the Panthers
- 4:47Speaker 1: do win a couple games with Durnam head coach, they
- 4:50Speaker 1: could jump up to the number one pick. Can you
- 4:51Speaker 1: imagine Bill Belichick with the number one overall pick being
- 4:55Speaker 1: able to draft whatever quarterback he wants, And it'll be
- 4:58Speaker 1: like when the Night King finally got one of those dragons.
- 5:00Speaker 1: He pulled it up out of the ice water from
- 5:02Speaker 1: Kalisi after he speared it, and then he brought it
- 5:05Speaker 1: right to the Great White Wall and just melted the
- 5:07Speaker 1: thing down in two seconds. The Night King with a dragon,
- 5:11Speaker 1: Bill Belichick with a number one overall pick. The Panthers
- 5:14Speaker 1: mess around and winning a couple games.
- 5:15Speaker 2: It could happen. Take number four.
- 5:17Speaker 1: I have a set of taboos set up with the
- 5:18Speaker 1: Denver Broncos that I will abide by for the rest
- 5:20Speaker 1: of the season, seeing as how they have the longest
- 5:22Speaker 1: win streak in the NFL and they cannot lose. Here's
- 5:25Speaker 1: my taboos. No more talking about Russ with Seattle. When
- 5:29Speaker 1: he makes a great play with Denver, you don't have
- 5:31Speaker 1: to mention that it's vintage Russ, it's the Tyler Lockett,
- 5:35Speaker 1: or it's a Doug Baldon.
- 5:36Speaker 2: Don't have to do that.
- 5:37Speaker 1: Rule number two, no talking about last year's Broncos team
- 5:42Speaker 1: night and day. I don't care about Nathaniel Hackett, that's true.
- 5:45Speaker 1: Rule number three, No talking about how the defense gave
- 5:48Speaker 1: up seventy points. It was incredible and we've talked about
- 5:50Speaker 1: it for two straight months. The defense now does not
- 5:52Speaker 1: give up seventy points. They did not give up thirty twenty.
- 5:54Speaker 1: They wreck people. They're really good. Those are my taboos.
- 5:57Speaker 1: I suggest you follow him. Take number five. I'm fascinated
- 6:00Speaker 1: by Joey Bosom. I have nothing to say about Chargers
- 6:02Speaker 1: Ravens other than the Ravens got a good, sloppy win
- 6:05Speaker 1: and they're getting some groin pains without Mark Andrews. The Chargers,
- 6:07Speaker 1: I have less than nothing to say about them, less
- 6:09Speaker 1: than they deserve. But the fact that the NBC broadcast
- 6:12Speaker 1: with Mike Cheriko on the call showed a shot of
- 6:14Speaker 1: Joey Bosa up in the booth, who was not playing.
- 6:16Speaker 1: He was up in a luxury box and of all things,
- 6:18Speaker 1: he's eating cereal he's eating raisin bran crunch. It was
- 6:23Speaker 1: six thirty to seven pm Pacific, and he is eating
- 6:26Speaker 1: cereal as he watches his team. I'm talking about one
- 6:28Speaker 1: of those little miniature plastic buckets that you pull back
- 6:31Speaker 1: the coating on the top, the little metal cover, and
- 6:35Speaker 1: then you eat it with a plastic spoon.
- 6:38Speaker 2: Why is he eating cereal seven o'clock? I love cereal.
- 6:40Speaker 1: Look get me wrong, but it's fascinating that he's doing that.
- 6:43Speaker 1: And they don't have cereal set up for an evening
- 6:46Speaker 1: game in one of those luxury boxes. There's no way.
- 6:49Speaker 1: So did he bring that with him? And did he
- 6:52Speaker 1: also bring milk and a spoon? Joey Bosa is so weird.
- 6:56Speaker 1: I kind of like it in this sense. I've eaten
- 6:57Speaker 1: cereal at night. It's not my proudest moments, but not
- 7:00Speaker 1: in like a luxury box at a stadium. Bizarre take
- 7:03Speaker 1: number six Dealers keep on winning. I still think this
- 7:06Speaker 1: can't be right. But the research says they get four
- 7:09Speaker 1: hundred yards of offense for the first time in fifty
- 7:11Speaker 1: eight games, just.
- 7:13Speaker 2: Four hundred yards.
- 7:14Speaker 1: They had a streak of fifty eight games of not
- 7:16Speaker 1: getting four hundred yards offense and they got it. I'm
- 7:19Speaker 1: not talking five hundred or something crazy like six or
- 7:21Speaker 1: four hundred yards of fifty eight game streak that goes
- 7:23Speaker 1: back to Roethlisberger and Antonio Brown, but they did it.
- 7:26Speaker 1: Najee Harris is likely going to win angry runs this week.
- 7:29Speaker 1: He does not like angry runs. He's bitter about it,
- 7:32Speaker 1: and we send him the scepter. He doesn't even want
- 7:34Speaker 1: to take the picture. It's going to be uncomfortable follow
- 7:36Speaker 1: angry runs. I don't think Naji wants to win it,
- 7:38Speaker 1: but if he has the angriest run, he will win it.
- 7:40Speaker 2: And I don't care. Keep on Curuiz and I'm way
- 7:43Speaker 2: behind schedule. I don't care.
- 7:44Speaker 1: I'm gonna lean into it. Take number seven the tagov
- 7:46Speaker 1: I LOOA family is fascinating. I'm talking about TUIs family.
- 7:49Speaker 1: I went to the Jets Dolphins game on Black Friday,
- 7:53Speaker 1: brought my family. We were seated a few rows away
- 7:57Speaker 1: from TUIs family. Four family members deep, including his mother
- 8:01Speaker 1: and father. They're all wearing the two jerseys. I have
- 8:03Speaker 1: to tell you, it's the most fascinating thing to watch
- 8:05Speaker 1: them watch the game. This family is the portrait of composure.
- 8:11Speaker 1: They sit there, they watched the game. I didn't see
- 8:15Speaker 1: them eat, drink, or even look at their phones a
- 8:20Speaker 1: single time. And what I was most riveted by was
- 8:23Speaker 1: that they're so composed as they watched the game. They
- 8:26Speaker 1: don't have any wincing or reacting or high fiving or
- 8:30Speaker 1: cheering about anything that happens in the game. Case in point,
- 8:34Speaker 1: the Dolphins are knocking on the door early in the game.
- 8:36Speaker 1: They have a fourth and goal. Mike McDaniel decides to
- 8:38Speaker 1: go for it, two throws a beautiful past the Tyreek
- 8:42Speaker 1: Oversauce Gardner.
- 8:43Speaker 2: Tyreek drops it.
- 8:44Speaker 1: Oh We're all jumping up and screaming, and oh my god,
- 8:47Speaker 1: what a dramatic play. I look at the tongue off
- 8:48Speaker 1: I love family sitting there, no facial expression, no frown,
- 8:53Speaker 1: no smile, no WinCE, no nothing. I looked at them
- 8:56Speaker 1: when they had the ninety nine yard pick six for
- 8:58Speaker 1: their son's team, and they didn't react, and I'm so
- 9:02Speaker 1: impressed with I'm so in awe of it. I'm watching
- 9:05Speaker 1: my son play at some dumb wreck gym ont of
- 9:08Speaker 1: Saturday morning playing basketball. If he makes a basket from
- 9:11Speaker 1: one foot away, I'm doing a backflip and fist pumping
- 9:14Speaker 1: like Jordan hitting the shot over Elo. They're watching their
- 9:17Speaker 1: son in an NFL game throw touchdowns.
- 9:20Speaker 2: And they're just locked in whatever they're having. I want
- 9:23Speaker 2: to have it.
- 9:25Speaker 1: Take number eight Texans Jaguars, really good game. Everyone's kind
- 9:30Speaker 1: of rooting for the Texans because their next best thing.
- 9:31Speaker 1: Jaguars said, not a chance. You know what's a fascinating
- 9:34Speaker 1: in I've said fascinating fifty times in this podcast.
- 9:37Speaker 2: Just what we're gonna do?
- 9:38Speaker 1: You know what as a riveting in game experience if
- 9:41Speaker 1: you're there as a fan, the doink, the boom, the boom,
- 9:45Speaker 1: and when it hits the crossbar or the uprights, it's
- 9:47Speaker 1: tough to beat. I've been in there for some block punts.
- 9:49Speaker 1: The double thud is fun, but the most fun sound
- 9:52Speaker 1: to hear as a fan attending the game is the doink.
- 9:54Speaker 2: Take number nine.
- 9:55Speaker 1: Tommy Devido for the Giants keeps doing the Italian gesture.
- 9:58Speaker 1: That's his new thing. I'm uncomfortable doing it. I feel
- 10:00Speaker 1: like I'm gonna get canceled because I'm appropriating Italian culture.
- 10:04Speaker 1: Are you allowed to do that as a non Italian American?
- 10:07Speaker 1: Can you put your hands up like that? Because there
- 10:09Speaker 1: is an emoji of it, so maybe that makes it
- 10:11Speaker 1: all right. Take number ten, Scott Hansen. We already knew it.
- 10:14Speaker 1: He's a national hero. He had alarms going off during
- 10:17Speaker 1: red zone and he did not abandon his post. Never
- 10:20Speaker 1: mind Santa Claus decembers about Scott Hansen. Wow, that was
- 10:27Speaker 1: a heavily truncated take about Tommy DeVito's hand gesture and
- 10:31Speaker 1: Scott Henson's standing on his post delivering the touchdown montage
- 10:35Speaker 1: as World War three is breaking around him. And I
- 10:37Speaker 1: thought sirens were going off, but I have to abide by.
- 10:40Speaker 2: The ten minutes. It's ten takes and it's ten minutes,
- 10:43Speaker 2: and that is it. That was a wild one.
- 10:45Speaker 1: I still have things to say about Joey Bosa Ceio,
- 10:47Speaker 1: but I don't have time to say them. Thank you
- 10:49Speaker 1: for listening, I love you, hope, Thanksgiving was great, Christmas,
- 10:52Speaker 1: New Year's coming down the pipe, teams are coming running
- 10:54Speaker 1: in the NFL. If you have thoughts on the best
- 10:57Speaker 1: sound to hear attending a game, if you have thoughts
- 11:00Speaker 1: on the DeVito gesture, about as okay as a professional
- 11:02Speaker 1: athlete to be on national television up the luxury box
- 11:05Speaker 1: eating cereal in the evening of the team that you
- 11:07Speaker 1: play for is down on the field. Send up to me,
- 11:10Speaker 1: Tweet it to me at Kyle Brandt, Like, subscribe, review
- 11:13Speaker 1: You're the best. Ten takes in ten plus minutes. I
- 11:16Speaker 1: should stop now because I stick to the promise. We
- 11:18Speaker 1: will see you next week. Thanks guys. Ten Takes is
