- 0:27Speaker 1: Radio from Philadelphia. And right there there it was big Game,
- 0:38Speaker 1: Big Game AFS and not AFC, NFC, NFC Sloberknocker. On
- 0:43Speaker 1: a cool night in the Delaware Valley. You had Jared
- 0:47Speaker 1: Goff leading the motorcade from Motown, the Detroit Lions taking
- 0:52Speaker 1: on the phili eddelphiing is with Jalen Hurts and the
- 0:56Speaker 1: Birds the birds oll thumb wrestling action and out of
- 1:00Speaker 1: that cause we had Mike Tarrico, you had Collinsworth. They
- 1:03Speaker 1: were calling the game for Peacock NBC doing their thing.
- 1:05Speaker 1: They're an island game, living the island life. And if
- 1:10Speaker 1: you didn't see the game ibe you missed it, well,
- 1:12Speaker 1: don't worry. We watched so you would not have to it.
- 1:15Speaker 1: As our act of kindness, our public service, if you will, so.
- 1:18Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts did score a touchdown, he didn't throw a touchdown,
- 1:22Speaker 1: he scored a touchdown, and otherwise mostly bupkus for the
- 1:28Speaker 1: team representing the state of Pennsylvania. They're a feeble offensive effort, anemic.
- 1:36Speaker 1: But yet the Eagles offense despite not doing their job.
- 1:39Speaker 1: He's supposed to do your job. They didn't do their job. However,
- 1:42Speaker 1: it was enough for a sixteen to nine win over
- 1:46Speaker 1: the Lions, who failed on every fourth down attempt, and
- 1:51Speaker 1: they kept going and going and going and going and
- 1:55Speaker 1: going and going. But we're going to begin with the losing.
- 2:00Speaker 1: Jaalen Hurt's not good, right, we know that. But the
- 2:02Speaker 1: better story is in the losing locker room, as the
- 2:06Speaker 1: team from Michigan an absolute stinker. The Eagles offense was
- 2:11Speaker 1: bad that the Lions offense somehow was worse, led by
- 2:15Speaker 1: the quarterback Jared Goff and trickling down. The suck, the
- 2:22Speaker 1: gooey ooey suck was going everywhere in that Detroit Lions
- 2:28Speaker 1: locker room. The offensive side, defensively, they were not even
- 2:31Speaker 1: how good they were. The Eagles were so bad on
- 2:33Speaker 1: offense it's hard hard to tell bad all the way around.
- 2:37Speaker 1: But let us discuss good jumping off point on that.
- 2:40Speaker 1: So we start with the quarterback Jared Goff. How do
- 2:44Speaker 1: you measure Jared Goff's performance for the Lions in this game?
- 2:49Speaker 1: So on this one, I've got software, Punk Rock and
- 2:54Speaker 1: Tom Hanks and we will combine all of these things
- 2:57Speaker 1: together and we're gonna put them into a food processor
- 3:01Speaker 1: and just see what we get. We'll just chop everything up,
- 3:04Speaker 1: make a puree, is what we're going to do. So
- 3:08Speaker 1: a listen, we measure it like the famous review years
- 3:13Speaker 1: ago on the Internet of the Popeyes cheddar Baby butterfly
- 3:17Speaker 1: shrimp thing. Remember that video. It's gone, it's a few
- 3:20Speaker 1: years old, but still funny. Your disappointment when you watch
- 3:24Speaker 1: Jared Goff play, Your disappointment is immeasurable watching him try
- 3:27Speaker 1: to play quarterback for the Lions, and your day is ruined.
- 3:30Speaker 1: Your day is absolutely ruined watching Jared Goff attempt to
- 3:33Speaker 1: play football. This was a v g situation, vintage golf,
- 3:40Speaker 1: watching Jared golf on Sunday night, straight out of the
- 3:43Speaker 1: vault from his era with the Rams back in the day.
- 3:47Speaker 1: And you could ram it all day. You could ram
- 3:49Speaker 1: it all night. But when Jared Golf was there, you
- 3:50Speaker 1: could not ram it in cold weather. Couldn't do it,
- 3:53Speaker 1: could not do it, couldn't happen. It's so important for
- 3:56Speaker 1: the Lions. They played a dome. You mentioned if they
- 3:58Speaker 1: played outdoors, Jared Goff would be out of the NFL.
- 4:00Speaker 1: Now they had to play outdoors in Detroit. Holy crap,
- 4:03Speaker 1: in the dome. He's fine, but there there it was
- 4:07Speaker 1: the sequel that nobody asked for. Watching Jared Goff futs
- 4:10Speaker 1: around out in the field. Now, Sean McVay top coach
- 4:13Speaker 1: in the NFL, Sean mcvavry. Sean McVay was so fed
- 4:17Speaker 1: up with Jared Goff. How fed up was he he
- 4:20Speaker 1: actually put together a basket of first round draft picks
- 4:24Speaker 1: and said, listen, this guy blows so much, we're gonna
- 4:27Speaker 1: give you multiple first round picks to get take Jared
- 4:30Speaker 1: Goff plays. We don't want to be haunted by the
- 4:33Speaker 1: demons of Jared Goff. And the Lions took him. Suckers, suckers,
- 4:39Speaker 1: you took Jared Goff. Haaa, he stinks. I'm not. This
- 4:44Speaker 1: is a guy. He's a little bit better than Sam Donald,
- 4:46Speaker 1: who also blows. Where are those Seahawks fans by the way,
- 4:49Speaker 1: where you're at Haha, he sucks anyway. Listen, Jared Goff
- 4:53Speaker 1: completed less than forty percent of his passes in this game.
- 4:58Speaker 1: He had one touchdown and one interception and twenty six.
- 5:04Speaker 1: I went back in, I count twenty six negative plays
- 5:08Speaker 1: for Jared Goff. Twenty six. That's not a quarterback, Okay,
- 5:12Speaker 1: that is a weather report gone wrong, which is often
- 5:16Speaker 1: the case when you watch Jared Golf play. It's not
- 5:19Speaker 1: one bit surprising if you happen to watch Benny versus
- 5:21Speaker 1: the Penny on the YouTube. This last episode, we broke
- 5:24Speaker 1: down the Lions game and on that TV Slash YouTube
- 5:29Speaker 1: show we talked about we talked about this and the
- 5:31Speaker 1: issues that Jared Golf has. When it's not some kind
- 5:35Speaker 1: of secret. I'm not giving inside information here. Anyone working
- 5:39Speaker 1: brain knows this. When the thermist that I mean, tad works,
- 5:43Speaker 1: when the thermist that drops before what's called California comfortable
- 5:49Speaker 1: anything below sixty degrees California comfortable anying below that, you
- 5:54Speaker 1: give this guy forty degree weather and win like they
- 5:57Speaker 1: had in Philadelphia at the start of the game, got
- 6:00Speaker 1: colders the night when I was like forty five degrees.
- 6:02Speaker 1: Suddenly the software crashes. It just crashes. He starts buffering.
- 6:08Speaker 1: He needs an update. There's a glitch, the thing of
- 6:10Speaker 1: a jig's not working. The watching MC call, you can't
- 6:12Speaker 1: fix it. Watching Jared Golf play in cold weather is
- 6:17Speaker 1: like watching a preview of a horror movie. You know
- 6:21Speaker 1: there's gonna be some kind of jump scare somewhere in there.
- 6:24Speaker 1: You're not sure exactly where it's going to be, but
- 6:25Speaker 1: it's gonna be in there. It's coming. And with Jared Goff,
- 6:28Speaker 1: is it going to be I don't know. Is it
- 6:30Speaker 1: gonna be a fumble? Is it gonna be the horrific interception?
- 6:34Speaker 1: What is it going to be?
- 6:35Speaker 3: Right?
- 6:36Speaker 1: The sack, the ill time sack? Which one is gonna be?
- 6:39Speaker 1: You know it's coming, It's coming. Attractions with Jared Golf
- 6:43Speaker 1: outdoors cold weather, I'm wasn't even that cold. It's gonna
- 6:47Speaker 1: get a lot worse, right, And here's the Lions' only hope.
- 6:51Speaker 1: And they actually had this last year and he still
- 6:53Speaker 1: left it up. But the Lion's only hope is home
- 6:56Speaker 1: field advantage and stay relatively healthy and then do some
- 7:01Speaker 1: kind of deep meditation something along those lines. And if
- 7:06Speaker 1: you do all that, you'll still probably end up screwing
- 7:09Speaker 1: this thing up. But if you go on the road,
- 7:11Speaker 1: forget about it. You know, imagine if the Lions have
- 7:14Speaker 1: to play on the road in the playoffs in Philly
- 7:15Speaker 1: or Detroit or Green Bay or somewhere like that. Oh man,
- 7:19Speaker 1: that's not gonna end. Well, it's not anywhere outside where
- 7:23Speaker 1: the breeze goes above eight miles an hour. It's not
- 7:27Speaker 1: going to be a pleasant situation for the team that
- 7:30Speaker 1: wears the Honolulu Blue. There you can say it would
- 7:33Speaker 1: be OvR over. He just fizzles and shrivels, Jared Goff,
- 7:40Speaker 1: and it just you know it's gonna happen. Well, here's
- 7:43Speaker 1: Jared Goff, in his own words, the man that's stunk
- 7:47Speaker 1: it up for the Detroit Lions in golf. Here, let's
- 7:51Speaker 1: jump the cut two here pointing out that he did
- 7:53Speaker 1: not get the job done.
- 7:54Speaker 3: Take a list six and four right in the middle
- 7:56Speaker 3: of the season, got three home games coming up, got
- 7:58Speaker 3: a lot to look forward to, a lot of a
- 8:01Speaker 3: lot of us things in front of us. We got
- 8:03Speaker 3: a good veteran unit. We respond the right way, We
- 8:05Speaker 3: will respond the right way. And yeah, it sucks as stings.
- 8:07Speaker 3: You want to come out here and play well and
- 8:09Speaker 3: beat a really good team and be able to have
- 8:10Speaker 3: you know, a kind of hallmark win of the middle
- 8:12Speaker 3: of the season, but didn't get a ton and got
- 8:14Speaker 3: to move on final way to win next week. We
- 8:16Speaker 3: had to do our job and try to score. Wow,
- 8:18Speaker 3: we didn't.
- 8:18Speaker 1: He still goes horrible.
- 8:19Speaker 3: It's worse. You know, our defense plays well and I
- 8:21Speaker 3: feel like you let them down, and you know, I know,
- 8:23Speaker 3: I certainly do, and it sucks.
- 8:25Speaker 1: I think that might take the right I don't know.
- 8:28Speaker 1: That seemed like the record setter for most cliche. That
- 8:30Speaker 1: was pretty good.
- 8:31Speaker 3: Here.
- 8:31Speaker 1: That's how long was that sound?
- 8:32Speaker 2: By?
- 8:32Speaker 1: What are we looking at here? Thirty seconds? Thirty seconds?
- 8:37Speaker 1: I wasn't counting at the beginning. I want to play
- 8:40Speaker 1: the cliche game. Do we have? Do we have the standard?
- 8:43Speaker 1: Do we have? You give me some Scott pod Sednik
- 8:45Speaker 1: to get me in the mood here. This is the
- 8:46Speaker 1: all time king of the cliches. Here. This is a
- 8:49Speaker 1: guy used to be a baseball player. Well he still
- 8:51Speaker 1: guess a former baseball player played for the Dodgers at
- 8:53Speaker 1: the end of his careers, know as a White Sox.
- 8:55Speaker 1: He was on the White Sox team that won the
- 8:56Speaker 1: World Series twenty years ago, and he played for the
- 9:00Speaker 1: He bounced around, play with the Mariners, play with the Dodgers. Anyway,
- 9:02Speaker 1: he was doing the Dodger post game thing, and he
- 9:04Speaker 1: gave us the gold standard for most cliches. Take a list.
- 9:08Speaker 1: It's Zidy right here.
- 9:09Speaker 4: Well, they're all important. We got to win as many
- 9:11Speaker 4: as we can. A lot of baseball we played. Anything
- 9:14Speaker 4: can happen. Yeah, We're gonna come the yard each and
- 9:16Speaker 4: every day, bottle each night and look up at the
- 9:18Speaker 4: end of see what we say, and we know our
- 9:19Speaker 4: work is cut out for us.
- 9:20Speaker 1: We got a lot of work to do.
- 9:22Speaker 4: Hopefully we can all come together, realize what we have
- 9:25Speaker 4: here and try to get something done.
- 9:26Speaker 1: That's the gold standard. Let's hear now, we will juxtapose
- 9:30Speaker 1: what you just heard, and now we will do the count.
- 9:33Speaker 1: Before we count though, Let's play a little game. You
- 9:35Speaker 1: can play along as well as you listen here and
- 9:38Speaker 1: try to stay focused on what you're doing. Let's try
- 9:40Speaker 1: thirty second sound bite. Let's try to guess how many
- 9:43Speaker 1: cliches Jared Goff worked into a thirty second sound bite.
- 9:45Speaker 1: I'm gonna say I'm gonna go fourteen. I'm gonna go fourteen.
- 9:50Speaker 1: Anyone else went in on this a lot? That is
- 9:52Speaker 1: a lot.
- 9:52Speaker 5: I'll go half of you half.
- 9:54Speaker 1: That's seven. Oh, it's more than seven. It's got to
- 9:56Speaker 1: be more than seven. All right, coop for a thirty
- 9:59Speaker 1: second sound and he doubled up on some. But we're
- 10:02Speaker 1: gonna count those.
- 10:03Speaker 6: So I think he's closer to Loraina. I think there
- 10:07Speaker 6: was a lot of talking with them without saying much.
- 10:10Speaker 1: So okay, all right, I don't know. All right, here
- 10:12Speaker 1: we go. We're playing the Jared golf cliche game. This
- 10:15Speaker 1: is the suck bag quarterback of you Detroit Lions. Let's
- 10:18Speaker 1: go to the audio tape. Here we go, play again,
- 10:20Speaker 1: six and four.
- 10:21Speaker 3: Right in the middle of the season, got three home
- 10:22Speaker 3: games coming up, got a lot to look forward to,
- 10:24Speaker 3: got a lot of football ahead of us. Everything's in
- 10:27Speaker 3: front of us. We got a good veteran unit. We
- 10:29Speaker 3: responded the right way.
- 10:30Speaker 1: We Sava spawned the right way.
- 10:31Speaker 3: And yeah it sucks his stings. You come out here
- 10:33Speaker 3: and play well and bed a really good team and
- 10:35Speaker 3: be able to have you know, kind of hallmark win
- 10:37Speaker 3: of the middle of the season. But didn't get a
- 10:38Speaker 3: ton got to move on final way to win next week.
- 10:41Speaker 3: We had to do our job and try four points
- 10:42Speaker 3: and we didn't. It feels horrible.
- 10:44Speaker 1: It's there's worse.
- 10:44Speaker 3: You know, our defense plays well and feel like you
- 10:47Speaker 3: let them down, and you know, I know I certainly
- 10:48Speaker 3: do and it sucks.
- 10:50Speaker 1: I think that's I think I had thirteen. I counted thirteen.
- 10:54Speaker 1: He was like he was at seven. I feel like
- 10:57Speaker 1: he was at seven in like twelve seconds. Yes, it was,
- 11:00Speaker 1: it was. It was a rapid fire playing a guy.
- 11:04Speaker 1: Guys playing the guy.
- 11:05Speaker 3: You can't six and four. Right in the middle of
- 11:07Speaker 3: the season. One got three home games coming up.
- 11:11Speaker 5: We're right, we got home games.
- 11:13Speaker 1: We got home games coming up.
- 11:14Speaker 7: All we got home games.
- 11:16Speaker 1: Middle. That's not a cliche. You don't win all your
- 11:20Speaker 1: home games. It's a cliche. It's laziness, is what it is.
- 11:24Speaker 1: Plany guy, blady guy right.
- 11:26Speaker 3: In the middle of the season, got three home games
- 11:28Speaker 3: coming up to look.
- 11:29Speaker 1: Forward to, not to look forward by fat ass.
- 11:31Speaker 3: Out of us. Everything's in front of us. We got
- 11:33Speaker 3: a good veteran unit. We responded, call meself out here
- 11:38Speaker 3: and play well. And he had a really good team.
- 11:41Speaker 1: Okay, he's empty the man's got no soul. There's Jared Goff.
- 11:44Speaker 1: I can't wait till his cheesy radio show in Detroit.
- 11:46Speaker 1: I'm sure that'll be amazing anyway, all right now, move
- 11:49Speaker 1: turn the page. The other issue, the will the beast
- 11:52Speaker 1: in the room, if you will, for the Detroit Lions.
- 11:55Speaker 1: Here the Lions who entered the game averaging thirty one
- 11:58Speaker 1: point four points per game. Of course, that was mostly
- 12:01Speaker 1: in domes and against bad opponents. They turned the ball
- 12:05Speaker 1: over five times on downs. They didn't punk the ball away,
- 12:10Speaker 1: they didn't they didn't throw interceptions and fumbled. They turned
- 12:14Speaker 1: it over on downs, Okay, which is not ideal. Was
- 12:19Speaker 1: not the record, but it was close to the record.
- 12:22Speaker 1: And so that's where we are here is let's hear
- 12:24Speaker 1: from Jared Gough. This is a cut one on Jared Goff.
- 12:27Speaker 1: Here's Jared Goff on the fourth quarter or the fourth
- 12:30Speaker 1: down players. What do you ha to say?
- 12:32Speaker 3: I don't think there's anything to do with him and
- 12:34Speaker 3: I I think there was just tight coverage and yeah,
- 12:37Speaker 3: we just didn't connect. There's a few I'd like to
- 12:39Speaker 3: have back that I that I just missed on. Slight
- 12:42Speaker 3: miscommunication on our end on one or two of them maybe,
- 12:45Speaker 3: but it should never be that bad. It really shouldn't.
- 12:49Speaker 3: It wasn't good enough.
- 12:50Speaker 1: Okay, And now here's Dan Campbell, Dan Campbell just in general,
- 12:55Speaker 1: forget just the fourth downs, but here's Dan Campbell pointing
- 12:58Speaker 1: out that, well, this did not go as planned.
- 13:00Speaker 8: We were just a little off. I mean, it really
- 13:03Speaker 8: was kind of one of those days. I hate saying that,
- 13:05Speaker 8: but it was just a little bit of one of
- 13:06Speaker 8: those days. And Golf and Saint Brown don't connect more
- 13:10Speaker 8: than that. You know, that's just a rare thing because
- 13:13Speaker 8: those guys, those guys have such a good connection. But
- 13:17Speaker 8: you know, there again, man, we're all involved in this.
- 13:19Speaker 8: We all got a hand in it for me, the coaches,
- 13:22Speaker 8: all of us. Man, everybody that's part of this offense.
- 13:26Speaker 8: You know, we got to be better, especially in a
- 13:27Speaker 8: day like today when you're playing that kind of defense,
- 13:29Speaker 8: that kind of team.
- 13:30Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 13:31Speaker 1: Right, So that Dan Campbell took over as the play caller.
- 13:33Speaker 1: Continue that. So the question, let's just focus in on
- 13:35Speaker 1: the fourth then we'll focus in on the on the
- 13:38Speaker 1: fourth down. So why does Dan Campbell continue to be
- 13:42Speaker 1: a unhinged daredevil on fourth then? So the obvious answer
- 13:48Speaker 1: is because this is who he is, this is who
- 13:49Speaker 1: he has become. He loves punk rock. He's a big
- 13:52Speaker 1: fan of punk rock. Dan Campbell his favorite band all
- 13:55Speaker 1: time is Bad Religion. Big fan of Bad Religion, and
- 13:58Speaker 1: this is nerd approved. I can't think of a more
- 14:01Speaker 1: meat head coach than Dan Campbell, and I like the guy.
- 14:04Speaker 1: I don't hate Dan Campbell. He the guy's a meathead.
- 14:06Speaker 1: The guy's an absolute meathead. I don't have a problem
- 14:09Speaker 1: with it. But some nerds said, okay, go for it
- 14:11Speaker 1: on fourth then, and Dan Campbell's like okay. So he
- 14:14Speaker 1: grunted like the caveman and said, Okay, I'll just go
- 14:17Speaker 1: for it on fourth out every single time. No logic,
- 14:20Speaker 1: no rhyme, no reason. I'll just keep going for it
- 14:22Speaker 1: on fourth out over and over and over and over,
- 14:24Speaker 1: and it gets approved and the geeks like it and
- 14:26Speaker 1: the smart people like it. I'm gonna keep doing it.
- 14:29Speaker 1: I can't stop. Dan Campbell wakes up every morning every
- 14:34Speaker 1: morning and he pounds a coffee the size of a
- 14:37Speaker 1: fire extinguisher and then whispers to himself, Live by the Sword,
- 14:42Speaker 1: Die by the Sword, and Sunday night. If you watch
- 14:45Speaker 1: the game, that was a bloody crime scene, very violent
- 14:47Speaker 1: death for the Detroit Lions, zero for five on fourth down.
- 14:51Speaker 1: A lot of stuff spilled everywhere, and as a result,
- 14:55Speaker 1: because of this, the Detroit Lions find themselves in the
- 14:59Speaker 1: eighth sp in the NFC. You want to take a
- 15:01Speaker 1: guess how many teams make the playoffs in the NFC.
- 15:04Speaker 1: In ain't eight. Right now, the Detroit Lions are a
- 15:08Speaker 1: non playoff team. Let me repeat that for those of you
- 15:11Speaker 1: in the back round. The Lions are not a playoff
- 15:14Speaker 1: team at this point. They're out. They're out of the playoffs.
- 15:18Speaker 1: Seven in their number eight. That's your twenty twenty five
- 15:21Speaker 1: Detroit Lions six and four and watching from the kids
- 15:25Speaker 1: table when the playoffs start if the Lions do not
- 15:28Speaker 1: pick things up here. Dan Campbell, he coaches like every
- 15:31Speaker 1: game is a bar fight at a waffle house at
- 15:34Speaker 1: two thirty in the morning, and look when it works,
- 15:39Speaker 1: and it has worked a lot the last couple years
- 15:40Speaker 1: of the Lions. He's the folk hero. He's the macho man,
- 15:44Speaker 1: Dan Hambell, biting kneecaps and all that stuff and lifting
- 15:48Speaker 1: weight weight up, and like he's like a superhero picking
- 15:52Speaker 1: a school bus up off somebody fell on top of.
- 15:54Speaker 1: He's just that's who he is. But when it doesn't,
- 15:57Speaker 1: it becomes biblical and not in a good one. All right,
- 16:00Speaker 1: the Lord give it, the Lord take it away for
- 16:02Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions here and on Sunday night he took
- 16:04Speaker 1: it away hard, hard, hard heart. And the best part
- 16:07Speaker 1: I love the shots of Dan Campbell when he seems
- 16:09Speaker 1: genuinely shocked that that fourth down play didn't happen, like
- 16:12Speaker 1: it didn't work. Oh my god, I can't believe it
- 16:14Speaker 1: didn't happen. It's amazing. What is up with that? All right?
- 16:18Speaker 1: Last word? We go now to the Philadelphia side of things,
- 16:23Speaker 1: where the Eagles win without any style points. What is
- 16:27Speaker 1: the here's the question, what is the most puzzling thing
- 16:30Speaker 1: about the Eagles offense under Jalen Hurts? A Super Bowl
- 16:35Speaker 1: winning quarterback? You can never criticize Jalen Hurts? What a bet?
- 16:40Speaker 1: Stay tuned, all right, So what is the most puzzling
- 16:42Speaker 1: thing about the Eagles offense with Jalen Hurts? How about
- 16:45Speaker 1: everything with the capitally, everything with the capital. It's like
- 16:50Speaker 1: Tom Hanks line from Forrest Gump Life and the Eagles
- 16:53Speaker 1: offense like a box of chocolate. You never know what
- 16:56Speaker 1: you're gonna get you just don't. And the Eagles they
- 16:59Speaker 1: seem fine to the low information fan. Everything's great, all right,
- 17:04Speaker 1: and it's working right now. They're eight and two. They're
- 17:06Speaker 1: on top of the NFC because of the tiebreaker, the
- 17:10Speaker 1: blocked fuel goal by the Eagles against the Rams. They
- 17:12Speaker 1: own the tiebreaker with the Rams, who beat a bad
- 17:16Speaker 1: Seattle Sam Dartle in that game. More than that later,
- 17:19Speaker 1: But the Eagles are in the presidential suite right now.
- 17:21Speaker 1: They are. They've got the room service going, they got
- 17:24Speaker 1: the maid service they've got to turn down. So they
- 17:26Speaker 1: got everything you need all right there. All while they're
- 17:29Speaker 1: quarterback Jalen Hurts is delivering the minimum viable effort do
- 17:35Speaker 1: the bare minut. You might as well work at the
- 17:36Speaker 1: DMV watching them play quarterback? My god, what happened? Where's
- 17:41Speaker 1: the vertical passing game? Where did it go? Where was it? Ever?
- 17:45Speaker 1: I thought that was a superstar quarterback. You told me
- 17:47Speaker 1: all Jaalden Hursts need to win the Super Bowl, superstar quarterback.
- 17:50Speaker 1: Boo done. Okay, won the Super Bowl, and this is
- 17:52Speaker 1: what you get. That's a super Bowl winning quarterback there.
- 17:55Speaker 1: I thought Offensive Player of the Year, that kind of guy.
- 17:57Speaker 1: Where's that guy? You want checkdown, so he'll give you
- 18:00Speaker 1: a checkdown. A lot of checkdown misthrowsw sailing over the
- 18:06Speaker 1: head or bouncing on the ground, avoiding risk like it's gluten.
- 18:10Speaker 1: There's a lot of that. That seems to be the
- 18:11Speaker 1: biggest issue that Jalen Hurts is afraid to throw balls
- 18:14Speaker 1: into tight windows because it's gonna get picked off, and
- 18:17Speaker 1: so rather he'll check it down. And the result is
- 18:19Speaker 1: you score less than fourteen points most games. And so
- 18:23Speaker 1: that's your franchise quarterback. And you look at the play
- 18:25Speaker 1: mixer it with squamp Barkley and the background in the
- 18:27Speaker 1: background and backfield rather but aj Brown. Look at these
- 18:31Speaker 1: guys they have on offense in Philadelphia, and it's like
- 18:34Speaker 1: watching someone drive a Nascar in the right lane going
- 18:38Speaker 1: forty eight miles an hour. Well, no, the goal is
- 18:40Speaker 1: not to go forty eight miles an hour in the
- 18:41Speaker 1: right lane. And you know you've got to do something
- 18:43Speaker 1: more than that. That's not good. And Philly, listen, they
- 18:46Speaker 1: keep humming along, right, they keep humming along. Everything's great here.
- 18:49Speaker 1: They win ugly builds, character builds great, and they win
- 18:52Speaker 1: sloppy games, and they win in the mud. Of course,
- 18:55Speaker 1: there's no mud on these games, most of these fields
- 18:57Speaker 1: because they're all field turf. But they win ugly. They
- 19:00Speaker 1: win ugly. And the Eagles offense really the football version
- 19:05Speaker 1: of a student that didn't study the night before an
- 19:08Speaker 1: exam and then rolls in there bleary eyed, hungry, thirsty,
- 19:14Speaker 1: and they get it done. They get it done and
- 19:17Speaker 1: somehow get an a minus. That just seems to work
- 19:20Speaker 1: out for them. I don't know how they do it.
- 19:22Speaker 1: The defense in this case is bailing out. The last
- 19:24Speaker 1: couple of games. The Eagles defense is absolutely build them
- 19:27Speaker 1: out against Green Bay and now this week here, this
- 19:29Speaker 1: is another Island game against the Detroit Lions. The run
- 19:33Speaker 1: game does just enough with Barkley just enough, and Hertz
- 19:37Speaker 1: just does the bare minimum not to lose. And that's
- 19:40Speaker 1: the recipe right now for the Philadelphia Eagles. It shouldn't work,
- 19:45Speaker 1: but it does work. It is working. And that's the
- 19:47Speaker 1: paradox with the Eagles, because Mark my Worth, you look
- 19:50Speaker 1: at that puzzle and said, well, the puzzle's working. I
- 19:53Speaker 1: can hear Fats and Philly and Jonathan and Delaware and
- 19:55Speaker 1: those guys and Fry Daddy O all our Eagle fans,
- 19:58Speaker 1: so they oh, it's working. Those are you? Those are
- 20:01Speaker 1: mallards work gang? Okay, okay, all right, for now, for now,
- 20:06Speaker 1: sooner or later, sooner or later. It catches up to you.
- 20:10Speaker 1: It always does. It always catches up to you.
- 20:13Speaker 2: For now.
- 20:13Speaker 1: It's it's clicking. It's not sustainable, it's not Be.

- 21:29Speaker 1: So our lead this hour from Cincinnati. We go to Cincinnati.
- 21:34Speaker 1: We do not go back and rehash the Monday night game,
- 21:38Speaker 1: the Cowboys winning big over the Raiders. But our leader
- 21:42Speaker 1: is from Cincinnati, where the flem flies. The talk follows
- 21:47Speaker 1: When the flem Flies, the talk follows follow up, follow
- 21:51Speaker 1: up to a previous Malard monologue. We now have the
- 21:56Speaker 1: Court of the NFL ruling on what happened. You might
- 22:00Speaker 1: remember Bengals wide receiver Jalen Jamar rather Jamar Chase. The
- 22:05Speaker 1: Bengal wide receiver Jamar Chase got into it with Jalen Ramsey,
- 22:10Speaker 1: the journeyman defensive back. They went back and forth. Ramsey
- 22:14Speaker 1: was ejected and he said Posting said, listen, that guy
- 22:18Speaker 1: sped on me. That guy's a spinner. And uh, oh my,
- 22:22Speaker 1: oh my god. Well, the NFL's ruled because at the
- 22:26Speaker 1: time Jamar Chase said, well, I didn't do it. I
- 22:29Speaker 1: didn't spit. No spit from me didn't happen. Well, it
- 22:34Speaker 1: turns out that Bengals wide receiver Jamar Chase has been
- 22:37Speaker 1: suspended for one game one game for spitting on Jalen Ramsey.
- 22:44Speaker 1: Chase can and will appeal the NFL's ruling to suspend him.
- 22:50Speaker 1: They say it's it's up in the air. I've heard
- 22:52Speaker 1: he has already started the appeal process. The evidence is overwhelming,
- 23:00Speaker 1: overwhelming evidence that he did it, and barring some kind
- 23:05Speaker 1: of eleventh hour plea deal, some kind of pardon from
- 23:10Speaker 1: the NFL, Jamar Chase will miss the Week twelve game
- 23:14Speaker 1: against the New England Patriots. If the suspension is uphill,
- 23:19Speaker 1: he'll be out. So that is a good jumping off point.
- 23:22Speaker 1: Let us discuss the question did did Bengals wide receiver
- 23:28Speaker 1: Jamar Chase actions warrant the one game NFL suspension. So
- 23:33Speaker 1: my observations of this, I have Planet Earth, Anthony Bourdain,
- 23:38Speaker 1: and rotting barn in the woods, and we will combine
- 23:43Speaker 1: all of these things together and we are going to
- 23:46Speaker 1: make some delicious kettle corn. Man, If you get kettlecorn
- 23:51Speaker 1: with just the right salt and sugar, it's one of
- 23:54Speaker 1: the great things. Not good for your teeth, but it's
- 23:56Speaker 1: really good, all right. So Number one, to answer the question,
- 24:03Speaker 1: did Jamar Chase actions did his actions warrant the suspensioned? Uh,
- 24:07Speaker 1: I'm gonna go a hell to the yeah, with a
- 24:10Speaker 1: giant chunk of mucus, big gooey green gob of mucus. Yes, yes, yes, yes.
- 24:18Speaker 1: The tape, don't lie, the tape, don't lie. We saw it.
- 24:21Speaker 1: It wasn't ai. You spin on a guy, you're out.
- 24:25Speaker 1: You spin on a guy, you're right now. In the
- 24:27Speaker 1: old days, they would encourage spitting, but not right now,
- 24:31Speaker 1: not right now. There's really no gray area on this.
- 24:34Speaker 1: Like I was thinking about as I was driving in,
- 24:36Speaker 1: was there any really out on this that you can
- 24:39Speaker 1: you can go to. It's the single most disrespectful thing
- 24:44Speaker 1: that one can do on a football field outside of
- 24:47Speaker 1: kicking someone in the nuts kick him in the pills.
- 24:50Speaker 1: That's pretty bad, I would say, spitting a giant loogie
- 24:55Speaker 1: right there in your face. Man, that's it. And it's
- 25:01Speaker 1: it's on four K video, it's not like the Who's
- 25:04Speaker 1: AI really okay? Crystal clear pristine video. And it looks
- 25:11Speaker 1: like someone shot the video on a brand new iPhone.
- 25:16Speaker 1: Like you know how you watch those commercials like the
- 25:18Speaker 1: iPhone and they show like yeah, they slow down everything
- 25:21Speaker 1: and they show you how good the camera is.
- 25:23Speaker 3: It.
- 25:23Speaker 1: It was that kind of thing. It was like, oh, man,
- 25:24Speaker 1: that's really good. Look at that camera. Wow, that's expensive,
- 25:28Speaker 1: but that's a good camera. I can see look at
- 25:30Speaker 1: I can see that. I can see the little flem,
- 25:33Speaker 1: the pieces of phlegm, I can see it coming out
- 25:34Speaker 1: of the mouth of the player. You can literally see
- 25:37Speaker 1: the lugie, the launch angle. Baseball people love launch angle.
- 25:41Speaker 1: You could see the launch angle on the lougie and
- 25:44Speaker 1: as it approached Jalen Ramsey and his shoulder pads, you
- 25:48Speaker 1: could see it the launch angle. I'll have to check
- 25:51Speaker 1: with the Elias Sports Bureau, but it looked like one
- 25:53Speaker 1: of those nature documentaries. I'm a big documentary guy, so
- 25:57Speaker 1: I'll watch even nature documentaries, because that's exciting life. I
- 26:00Speaker 1: live as a middle aged man, so I watched these
- 26:02Speaker 1: nature documentaries and it's like Planet Earth, the migration of
- 26:06Speaker 1: the saliva wad, and you get some big voiceover guy
- 26:10Speaker 1: there with a deep voice, and you do the voiceover
- 26:13Speaker 1: the giant blob just gliding through the air on a
- 26:18Speaker 1: thermal current right to the player. Boom, President has been set.
- 26:23Speaker 1: We know that we talked about this. This is the
- 26:26Speaker 1: at least the second spinning monologue that we've gotten. Remember
- 26:31Speaker 1: the first game of the NFL season Philadelphia and Dallas,
- 26:34Speaker 1: there was the there was Originally it was like Dak
- 26:38Speaker 1: Prescott spit, but he you're allowed to spit as long
- 26:41Speaker 1: as the phlegm does not touch another human being. You
- 26:44Speaker 1: can spin on the ground, which proves the NFL does
- 26:47Speaker 1: not respect Mother Earth, because the NFL allows you to
- 26:51Speaker 1: spit giant wads of mucus onto Mother Earth, but if
- 26:55Speaker 1: you spin on another human being, it becomes problematic. So
- 26:58Speaker 1: Jalen Carter got tossed before the game. That counted as
- 27:02Speaker 1: a He was like on the field, but he didn't
- 27:04Speaker 1: play in a play, an actual snap, and so that
- 27:08Speaker 1: counted as a game suspension. So actions create consequences. We
- 27:12Speaker 1: all know that. And you do the crime, and you
- 27:16Speaker 1: have to do the time. In this case, if you
- 27:18Speaker 1: spit crime, you spit time. You have to do that.
- 27:23Speaker 1: You have to do that. So and what would the
- 27:25Speaker 1: defense be? Let's try to workshop that. What do you
- 27:28Speaker 1: think the defense would be for Jamar Chase the Bengal
- 27:32Speaker 1: wide receiver, Like, what would the defense be? Sorry, your honor,
- 27:36Speaker 1: I'm sorry to have to go over this with you.
- 27:38Speaker 1: I missed the bullseye. The lugi actually drifted, and since
- 27:43Speaker 1: the lugi drifted, I should only be suspended for the
- 27:46Speaker 1: first half. Well don we don't do that. We do
- 27:49Speaker 1: full game, we don't do first time. Well no, no, no,
- 27:52Speaker 1: I did not hit Ramsey in the face with the phlem.
- 27:56Speaker 1: I did not, Like, what are we doing? It's you
- 28:00Speaker 1: don't get leniency because your spit had bad wind resistance.
- 28:06Speaker 1: Which is what happened to Jamar Chase. Here is he
- 28:08Speaker 1: hit the shoulder pad the jersey but not it did
- 28:10Speaker 1: not appear. There might have been some shrapnel, mucus, little
- 28:15Speaker 1: bits of bacteria that hit Ramsey, but the main lugi
- 28:21Speaker 1: and I watched this about one hundred times. The main
- 28:23Speaker 1: lugi hit the jersey shoulder pad area of Jalen Ramsey.
- 28:28Speaker 1: You know, so just listen't just own it, you hawk
- 28:31Speaker 1: to it. And that's what you did.
- 28:33Speaker 5: And night.
- 28:38Speaker 1: There you go. Now the good news I'll be Benny
- 28:39Speaker 1: Brightside because I'm not just a negative overnight gas bag.
- 28:43Speaker 1: I will be Benny Brightside here and as Benny Brightside.
- 28:46Speaker 1: The good news is Jamar Chase now has dinner reservations
- 28:49Speaker 1: with legends like Roberto Alomar and Carl Everett and who
- 28:54Speaker 1: else a Jalen Carter, Bill Romanowski, the greatest Rajon Rondo.
- 29:00Speaker 1: Remember when he's spat on some of your monologue about
- 29:02Speaker 1: that Reggie Miller a spinner. Do you know that? Yeah,
- 29:05Speaker 1: Reggie Miller. So, Paul, you spat on a fan back
- 29:08Speaker 1: in the day with the pacers. So now how cool
- 29:11Speaker 1: is that Jamar Jamar Chase can can pass the breadsticks
- 29:15Speaker 1: around the table, have some fetcini Alfredo with Roberto Alomar
- 29:20Speaker 1: and Carl Everett and Jalen Carter and Bill Romanowski and
- 29:24Speaker 1: all those guys. Rondo, that's a holy trinity of flem
- 29:29Speaker 1: It's great.
