- 5:56for sure So I'm Malcolm the milkman. I'm Scott
- 6:02the visionary home and this is off the bench
- 6:04London. Let's get into it alright, so Last week
- 6:08obviously I lost a little bit of the I lost a
- 6:11huge portion of our episode Um, but it was a
- 6:15great chat. Well, what we did recover was everything
- 6:18before we talked football. Oh, nice. Right. So
- 6:22a lot of it. So people don't listen to us for
- 6:24our football. Oh, I know, I know, I know, I know.
- 6:27Uh, so that the cruise part was taken care of.
- 6:30Um, one thing I think we didn't talk about people
- 6:34who listen to our Spotify probably don't know
- 6:36is we talked about lanterns, the TV show. And
- 6:40I think this week, how many episodes did you
- 6:42watch or last week? See, you make it sound like
- 6:47I watched so much of it. There's what, like six
- 6:51episodes out now? As of today, there's like as
- 6:54of today, there are six episodes. I've watched
- 6:55like three and a half. OK, OK. And when I was
- 7:00talking highly of this TV show, though, did you
- 7:03understand what I meant by this is like amazing
- 7:07TV? No, like I get it. I get it. Okay, I like
- 7:12that It's more of like a because DCA likes to
- 7:18do a lot more like darker shows. Okay, it kind
- 7:22of reminds me of like Not a hundred percent of
- 7:26like Titans when that came out, okay, but it's
- 7:29a little bit darker But it still has that DC
- 7:32undertone for sure for sure I'm curious to see
- 7:36like how it's gonna play out moving forward because
- 7:39like, you can only hide the green lantern miss
- 7:43of it for so long. Okay, that makes sense. Okay.
- 7:47Because like, once you start dabbling in the
- 7:50like using the ring, and okay, it's gonna get
- 7:54off the rails. And once you start involving everything
- 7:57else, so it'll get out there and then today is
- 8:03obviously Monday, September 21. episodes come
- 8:07out. on Sundays at 9 p .m. Obviously, I'm busy
- 8:13watching football and then I have to do my backups
- 8:16at work and have to do a few other things. And
- 8:19then he gets to the point where like 3 a .m.
- 8:21I have an opportunity or 2 a .m. I have an opportunity
- 8:24to watch an hour episodes before I get up for
- 8:27work. I'm going to say that this is more so and
- 8:34I'm not trying to do any spoilers. Listen to
- 8:36this. There's no spoilers. Um, this is true detectives
- 8:41and loss put together with a side of superhero.
- 8:47I wouldn't say lost dialogue, character, like
- 8:52developments, like loss. It's more true detective
- 8:55in that sense. And then it has like a sprinkle
- 9:00of DC. So then it's like, it hits a wider audience.
- 9:04Yeah. I would say it's almost. And more reachery
- 9:10Okay, like Reacher. Okay. I'm I need to start
- 9:13watching that you definitely watch Yeah, my wife
- 9:15watches it and I just haven't had time like yeah,
- 9:19there's so many great TV shows that right now
- 9:21I'm back -to -back with Lanterns and Ted lasso
- 9:24To that's see it's so funny those two shows cuz
- 9:29you're like, they're not even they're not even
- 9:31close Yeah, yeah, but like it hits my rotation
- 9:34because lanterns comes out on Sundays Ted Lasso
- 9:37comes out on Tuesdays. Tuesdays or Wednesdays
- 9:41or Wednesdays either or you know how I have my
- 9:45my system. Yeah. All I do is I know it uploads
- 9:48then, you know, but the old lanterns I'm telling
- 9:52you right now, I am addicted to the show. Like
- 9:56it's beyond addiction because I have a buddy
- 9:58named Darcy where like we're sending each other
- 10:01messages after we watch the episode. And it's
- 10:04literally to the point like We were having phone
- 10:06conversations about what was going on after episode
- 10:09one and then episode two and we were so wrong
- 10:12after every episode and then like a lot of things
- 10:15have developed where there's only two more episodes
- 10:17left. I feel like. And it's it's intense. If
- 10:25you knew what direction they were going. You
- 10:30say that, but you're on episode three. Yeah,
- 10:33but I think I have an idea of a lot of things
- 10:36anyway. Yeah, well if you haven't had an opportunity
- 10:39to watch lanterns yet I Highly suggest you take
- 10:44some time and at least watch one episode. You'll
- 10:47be hooked up to the first episode I Was hooked
- 10:52the bank honestly, and I don't understand but
- 10:56like these British actors are dominating the
- 10:59American scene Tell me I'm wrong. Tell me I'm
- 11:03wrong. No, you're wrong. You're sorry. You're
- 11:05not wrong, but You really like I just can't believe
- 11:10but you love this show It's like all over it.
- 11:14Yo. Yes, like alright everybody. Let's talk about
- 11:17football. But before that Has anyone seen Lanter?
- 11:21Yo, but this is like a sports and life show like
- 11:23yo This is the like I get why some people enjoy
- 11:27watching TV for like shows like this. Oh, yeah
- 11:31For some other people they love days of her lives.
- 11:35I'm not old enough to start appreciating that
- 11:38yet Now see that's like dr. Who to me Oh dr.
- 11:43Who was a game changer dr. Who's amazing, but
- 11:46it's one of those things where there's so many
- 11:49like Seasons of it. Yes, and I'm one of those
- 11:53people that's like I like to know everything
- 11:55so I want to watch it from the beginning Yes,
- 11:57and it's literally impossible That's like if
- 12:02you were to be like, oh, you know what? I think
- 12:05I'm going to start one piece at episode one.
- 12:08Oh, no, no, no. All the way through. No, no.
- 12:11Like that is not like you just you physically
- 12:13cannot do it. No, for sure. You can't. It's impossible.
- 12:16Absolutely impossible. Yeah, like we got we got
- 12:23that out of the way. We got the lenders there.
- 12:25I said my piece, Ted Lasso, if you're not watching
- 12:27the season of Ted Lasso. It's fine. We're in
- 12:31episode 7. It's finally to the point where like
- 12:34I get their identity getting back to normal Yeah,
- 12:37it's not even normal. It's their normal like
- 12:40this seasons I see the seasons identity and it
- 12:43took seven episodes actually get to this point
- 12:46see I but I do like that they're Developing it.
- 12:50Yeah, not just like jumping in and being like
- 12:53cuz like If they were to just jump in and be
- 12:57like, okay Yeah, we're playing and then they
- 12:59would it would just be the exact same as season
- 13:03one. Yeah, you can't do that. Redo season one.
- 13:06No, no, because that impact was fantastic. And
- 13:10it was like, we all know, like by season four,
- 13:14we're like, oh, are you following the same path
- 13:16or are you going a different one? And just adding
- 13:18women and doing the same path does not work.
- 13:20I do like that. They've got into. The. the pay
- 13:28They can touch on a lot of topics that in the
- 13:33very relevant. Yes Yeah, I guarantee at some
- 13:38point. I don't know if they're risked that they
- 13:41might do it. They might not throw a trans athlete
- 13:44in there Maybe next season. Yeah Because yeah,
- 13:50I think right now this season what they're doing
- 13:52right now is they're setting a tone. We're like
- 13:55well I like we've all said this women's sports
- 13:58is growing. So fast right now and people are
- 14:05starting to invest and with Ted Lasso doing a
- 14:08women's version of AFC Richmond, they are hitting
- 14:11on points as I say, if you want sports to be
- 14:14successful, you have to support the women too.
- 14:16Yeah. Right. You can't just support the men.
- 14:18You have to support the women as well. And I'm
- 14:20all for it. Well, and I think that also comes
- 14:22down to like. Everybody needs to like you can't
- 14:27just complain and be like they don't get paid
- 14:30enough But then not support it yourself. Yes
- 14:34like there's a reason that Like if it has like
- 14:41take gender out of it completely it's like this
- 14:43league gets paid 50 million dollars this Pete
- 14:46Lee gets paid fifty thousand dollars This league
- 14:51has a billion dollars in revenue and this One
- 14:54has, um, a hundred million in revenue, whatever,
- 14:59whatever the thing is, but like taking gender
- 15:01out of it completely. If you support the other
- 15:04league and you want them to get paid more, they'll
- 15:08get paid more. Sure. If you don't support them,
- 15:10they won't get paid. Correct. 100%. But it's
- 15:17always interesting when you start seeing, seeing
- 15:19stuff like that. No, honestly, it's. What they're
- 15:24doing right now, I I'm all for it. I appreciate
- 15:27it. And I'm I'm looking to where they develop.
- 15:29But all right. So. We're calling this episode
- 15:34one of off the bench. Obviously, we talked about
- 15:38that. Since we're in episode one. Yes. What is
- 15:44one new thing that you started doing recently?
- 15:50You're hilarious. Um, okay. Well, I guess we're,
- 15:56if we're going to talk about, we might as well
- 15:57talk about it. Let's get into it. Yeah. No. Um,
- 16:00so I got a recently, I got the call last week
- 16:03and, um, there's a local high school team that
- 16:07was looking for coaches and I ended up signing
- 16:11up and, uh, taking the initiative to join, uh,
- 16:15the coaching staff of Clark road, uh, Trojans.
- 16:18That's awesome. Um, honestly, the Honestly, the
- 16:21the junior team is what I'm helping coach and
- 16:24they are a static You know, like I'm coaching
- 16:30the D line and a little bit the old line but
- 16:33mostly D line just using my defensive like background
- 16:37and Just seeing those people and like those kids.
- 16:41I won't even say they're young adults. Yeah That's
- 16:45like grade point nine and ten. So yeah Yeah,
- 16:49there's so much more person they have so much
- 16:52more personality now You're gonna learn so many
- 16:55new words Yeah, sure learn all the hip cool things
- 17:00true true true true to say things and I'm gonna
- 17:02be like what? Nah, nah, I think the biggest thing
- 17:06for me though is just like it's it's reaching
- 17:08out and like understanding How to communicate
- 17:11my knowledge from what I used to play whether
- 17:13it's when I played for CCH when I played for
- 17:16the Beefeaters or want to play for Grand Prairie,
- 17:18Alberta drillers, just trying to relate the things
- 17:22that I know, things that I know that work and
- 17:25give them the tools necessary. So when they apply
- 17:27on the field, they can start learning how to
- 17:30develop it. So by the time they get to the senior
- 17:33level, they have a good foundation to where they
- 17:36can dominate. And if they want to take it to
- 17:38the next level, then they have a good basis so
- 17:41that another coach can come in. Um, I think it's
- 17:45important to do that because like, there are
- 17:48certain things that work in all, in all sports
- 17:53at all. Even in life? No, but like at a low level.
- 17:58So like you can teach someone super basic things
- 18:01that work against people that don't know what
- 18:03they're doing, but they will not work at all
- 18:06if someone actually knows what they're doing.
- 18:10True. So true. So actually so true. So it's like,
- 18:13there's a bunch of things I'm sure you're like,
- 18:15Oh, I could teach you this. Like the kids will
- 18:17discover it on their own and they'll start doing
- 18:18it. And you're like, no, don't do that. And they'll
- 18:20be like, why coach it works. And you'll say,
- 18:23because it will not work at all next year. It
- 18:28may work temporarily. Yes. Keep it in your bag.
- 18:31Just, just for fun. But keep in mind, it's not
- 18:34going to work forever. That's the one thing also
- 18:36that I learned. Cause like Obviously, I didn't
- 18:38grow up playing soccer. Obviously picked it up
- 18:40as I got older and Let's be honest Playing soccer
- 18:46and you're seeing like the Ronaldo's or Ronaldinho's
- 18:49and and the mess He's doing all these moves and
- 18:52then you go up and try to do that It's a person
- 18:54who doesn't know what they're doing on defense
- 18:57and you try to do all these fancy moves and it
- 18:59doesn't work because it doesn't work because
- 19:01they They don't, they don't know enough to bite
- 19:04on the thing that you want them to bite them.
- 19:06Exactly. Bite on. Exactly. Cause you're like,
- 19:09you can sell the head movement, but if they're
- 19:11not even paying attention to your head, you're
- 19:12just moving your head for no reason. Yeah. I
- 19:16think for COVID soccer, that was like one of
- 19:18the things that I had to learn. Just like dial
- 19:20it back. Like you can still do though, but you
- 19:22got to dial it back to like the person that you're
- 19:25playing against. Yeah. And then that's why I
- 19:27like. You're like, is someone will never like.
- 19:30Doesn't open their legs at all this talking about
- 19:33soccer It's impossible to put it through them.
- 19:37Yes They're like regardless like you can do all
- 19:40the step over all the moves you want But if they
- 19:43just don't bite on anything, it'll never work
- 19:45hundred percent hundred percent agree with that
- 19:46statement hundred percent Yeah, I'm in so yeah,
- 19:51I think there's there was a direction on I wanted
- 19:55this episode to go and it's like The concept
- 19:59of always saying yes. Ah, like a recent episode
- 20:04of a hit show that is not Lantern. Yes, yes.
- 20:12Ted Lasso. Spoiler, not spoiler. I feel like
- 20:17that's not a spoiler. It's not a spoiler because
- 20:19there's too many memes there right now. If you're
- 20:22a fan, you're a fan, you know. Yeah, I know,
- 20:24you know. Yeah, I'm starting to learn. That always
- 20:29saying yes is not necessarily a bad thing that
- 20:32episode obviously they they talked about the
- 20:35concept of saying yes and Yeah, set set their
- 20:38boundary is not always saying yes, but sent those
- 20:40boundaries like yes And if you do this, then
- 20:42it opens a door for other things and it holds
- 20:45more credibility That's one of those like give
- 20:50-and -take yeah, especially when it comes to
- 20:53coaching that's super important cuz like the
- 20:55kids Or whoever is going to they're going to
- 20:58want to do stuff like coach. Can I play forward
- 21:01or coach? Can I? Can I work out with the first
- 21:05team like? Yes. And and we'll see how it goes.
- 21:11Yeah. Yeah, I. It's it's building those layers
- 21:15on the concept of yes, you can try it, but I
- 21:19need you to learn that they're happy. You have
- 21:22to get to a point to get to that. Yeah. And it
- 21:27also builds like a level of endearment towards
- 21:31another person when you add that and statement
- 21:33For me when I was saying like this that constable
- 21:36was saying yes We you and I do a lot we work
- 21:41two jobs You know, we have a podcast now. Yeah,
- 21:45you know You did the we both did punch out Last
- 21:49season it was we're always saying yes. Yes. Yes.
- 21:51Yes. Yes and I know there's a lot of people out
- 21:56there who, as we say, yes, there's a lot of people
- 22:00out there that say no. Yeah. And that's how it
- 22:04is. It's how you get into fun situations though.
- 22:06Like obviously you can get yourself into some
- 22:08not as fun situation. Correct. But that, but
- 22:12saying yes to things doesn't mean saying yes
- 22:14and locking it in forever. That's where I was
- 22:17getting at. That's where I was getting at. I
- 22:19was getting to the point where it was just like,
- 22:21you know what? We can say yes to all these things.
- 22:23But we're building that tolerance to then say
- 22:27yes to the things we actually want to do. Yeah.
- 22:30You're building it like a toolbox almost. You're
- 22:34like, Oh, I've done this, this, this, this, and
- 22:37this all because I said yes to stuff. And now
- 22:40I know maybe I want to do more of that. Maybe
- 22:44I don't want to do more of that. I see it kind
- 22:48of like gives you more knowledge. Yes, you just
- 22:52say no you're like Well, and you never know what
- 22:56what you don't you don't know what you don't
- 22:58know it's true until you try it it's true For
- 23:02me when I got that call to coach. It was just
- 23:04like yes, like I'll definitely help out I also
- 23:07realized the scope of it. I'll be coaching for
- 23:10about a month in a bit Yeah, so I have to sacrifice
- 23:13my time for a month in a bit too, but The amount
- 23:17of opportunities that that could also lead down
- 23:19the line Oh yeah. Could be endless. If I say
- 23:23yes now, I can say yes to another great opportunity.
- 23:26Who knows what will happen in a few years just
- 23:29because you said yes at that moment. I know exactly
- 23:32what's going to happen because of this podcast.
- 23:35All the kids on the Clark Road football team
- 23:38are going to watch Lanter. Yo, just because I
- 23:42said yes. I mean, we need to be sponsored by
- 23:45lanterns. That's all I'm saying. DC, yo, you
- 23:50need a sponsor. There's a bunch of headlamps,
- 23:53green stuff. Yo, fun fact, when I was younger,
- 23:56I always thought I was going to get a tattoo
- 23:57and it was always going to be a green lantern
- 23:59tattoo. Oh, there you go. Now, obviously, I don't
- 24:02have any tattoos because I can't actually go
- 24:04through with it. But I was going to say something
- 24:07else. That's OK. Hey, don't don't be like converse
- 24:11What never mind that went over your head? Well,
- 24:15I'll tell you yeah a Converse guy But yeah, man.
- 24:19No, honestly that is that was one of the things
- 24:22for me. It's just like Seeing us and learn and
- 24:25learning the concept like I may say yes now.
- 24:27I will say no there's times where I do say no
- 24:30Yeah, the majority of the time. I will say yes
- 24:32because there's There's a lot of opportunities
- 24:35that you miss They don't know you're missing
- 24:38Because you've been closed mind any automatically
- 24:41said no Because like five years from now, I mean
- 24:45it sounds like you're loving coaching already
- 24:48100 % Understand the coaching staff that they
- 24:51have already is amazing. You'll regardless you'll
- 24:54always have the experience Whether you continue
- 24:57coaching for a long time sure or you coach this
- 25:00season and that's where you stop My guess is
- 25:04you probably won't stop But either way, you'll
- 25:06always be like, oh, yeah, I just like you always
- 25:09have that coaching experience. Sure. Yeah. Well,
- 25:13there was a time where I did coach MTS when I
- 25:15was younger. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Coach MTS. But like,
- 25:19here's the other thing. And it's like, it's funny
- 25:21that we're talking about saying, yes, this podcast
- 25:24would have never really started if you didn't
- 25:27say yes to go to a football game. While you're
- 25:31at work. Oh, yeah, true. Right. It all comes
- 25:36in full circles, like saying yes sometimes leads
- 25:39to opportunities down the road that you may not
- 25:41even know. I'd like to say that I didn't say
- 25:45yes when you said, hey, do you want to start
- 25:47a podcast? And I said, yeah, yeah, for sure.
- 25:49I totally have time for that. And now look at
- 25:51us. We're still trying to find time to fit in
- 25:54the podcast at times. But yeah, man, honestly.
- 26:01All I'm going to say is say yes and. build boundaries
- 26:05on it if you need to have those boundaries say
- 26:07yes and or just say yes more often because you
- 26:10never know what opportunities you might get whether
- 26:13it's a new job promotion you know you might meet
- 26:17your new future partner because just just because
- 26:19you said yes yeah you know i mean there's so
- 26:22many different avenues and different opportunities
- 26:25out there that by saying no sometimes you're
- 26:29closing a door and don't necessarily know that
- 26:31you did Don't limit yourself, but don't burn
- 26:34yourself. Exactly. Exactly have limits to a degree.
- 26:37Yeah, but yeah, um So what's cap let's I know
- 26:44we're saying yes to things. Okay, but what's
- 26:47your coaching style? Um, I know it's like a week
- 26:52It's very fresh Actually, I'm gonna be on whistleblower.
- 26:58No screamer. No, I don't look Uh, the glasses
- 27:03help. Uh, I do wear shades and, um, I mean, they
- 27:08don't know where you're looking and they don't
- 27:09see you roll your eyes when they, um, um, my
- 27:13Gucci style has changed dramatically from when
- 27:15I was younger. I think now it's more because
- 27:19of like watch Ted lasso huge, like huge. I know
- 27:23how we're talking implementing like the TV shows
- 27:25into this episode. Um, but it's more like relatable
- 27:30to them. Right. I asked them what they actually
- 27:33want to learn because well cuz at the end of
- 27:35the day, you're not coaching professionals You're
- 27:37coaching kids. Yeah that Want to learn they're
- 27:41gonna be sponges after these kids, especially
- 27:43in junior Yeah, I've ever never played sports
- 27:47before majority of time haven't even watched
- 27:49the game I remember me when I first joined football.
- 27:52I never lost football. Yeah, exactly right like
- 27:55the Head coach will be walking around school
- 28:02whatever class they're teaching. Well, they'll
- 28:05see a kid in the hallway and be like, Hey, you're
- 28:07big. Have you ever played football? Yeah. Uh,
- 28:12no. Do you want to? Sure. It's the same thing
- 28:15with like, uh, uh, like when I did like wrestling,
- 28:19like all the sports, like it's, they're just
- 28:22looking for like whatever kids want are willing
- 28:26to put in the effort. Oh, for sure. Cause I remember,
- 28:29uh, When I first joined like junior football,
- 28:32it's such a big commitment For as like for kids
- 28:39for those kids it is every day after school For
- 28:45What a month and a half About that, but that's
- 28:51a significant amount of time for a kid That is
- 28:55like now that I look back on it that Like for
- 28:58us a month and a half, that's that's nothing
- 29:01but for for kids, whether it's high school, mostly
- 29:05for high school and elementary, a month is a
- 29:08long time. Like time is slow for kids. Well,
- 29:11it's I feel like time is relative. Oh, no. The
- 29:16less amount of time that you've existed, the
- 29:19longer time feels. I like that. I like that.
- 29:24Where'd you steal that from? I don't know. But
- 29:27it's true, like to a 10 -year -old, one year
- 29:31is 10 % of their life. To a 40 -year -old, one
- 29:38year is 4 % of their life. Yes. Yes. No. More
- 29:45or less. Yes. Whatever. I know what you're getting
- 29:47at. Yeah. Math. But the point is, it's a significant,
- 29:53like to a 15 -year -old, A month and a half is
- 29:57a long time is, well, you don't really remember
- 30:01anything until you're, let's say, five. So they
- 30:03only remember 10 years of their life. So that
- 30:06month and a half is a significant amount of time.
- 30:08Mm hmm. Mm hmm. And then for us, now that we're
- 30:12older, it's just like, man, the summer flew by
- 30:15and it's like, well, how many summers have we
- 30:17had to remember? And like we've done so much
- 30:21and it just it all slowly blends together. And
- 30:24then every day with responsibilities, you kind
- 30:27of lose those moments. Well, yeah, it's like.
- 30:31I've had Rocko for. Over two months. Damn, that
- 30:37flu. Actually, yeah, like I've had two months
- 30:44today, actually. Yeah, about that. Yeah, because
- 30:46like, yeah, we've had Morales for about almost
- 30:50we've had him for more than two years now. Yeah.
- 30:52I've been married for almost two years now. Fun
- 30:55fact, everybody. There's a picture of me holding
- 30:58his dog when it was a puppy wearing this sweater.
- 31:01Fun fact. Fun fact. Fun fact. Um, yeah. No, honestly,
- 31:06that that's crazy. Yeah. She doesn't mean like
- 31:10I've had Rocco longer than your football season.
- 31:14Yes, you have. But it's it's even like like the
- 31:20NFL season. You always think it's way longer
- 31:23than it is. 17 weeks goes by fast. It's not that
- 31:28long. You're not wrong. You are not wrong. Like
- 31:36we're already done two weeks, almost done two
- 31:40weeks. Yep. And so there's what? Less than three,
- 31:46less than four months ago. Valentine's Day. Remember,
- 31:52Valentine's Day this year is Super Bowl. Make
- 31:55sure you plan accordingly. Make sure you plan
- 31:59accordingly. You heard it here with us. Plan
- 32:02Valentine's Day. Your partner would love you.
- 32:06If you're ready to be like, hey, make sure you
- 32:08have this date off. It could be, you know, the
- 32:11day before. It could be the Monday. On the bright
- 32:14side, because Valentine's Day falls on a Sunday,
- 32:18you can be like, you know what? I we probably
- 32:23both work on Monday. So why don't we go out and
- 32:26do something really fun on sun the Sunday night
- 32:29or the Saturday night? That way we can go do
- 32:33whatever and well, you know what? I'll even throw
- 32:35in breakfast in the morning. Then you'll be all
- 32:39ready to go. Just telling you right now for Super
- 32:44Bowl. Tell you right now when accordingly you
- 32:48have a head start. Okay. We can talk football,
- 32:54though. Yeah, you can talk some. Oh, a lot of
- 32:57a lot. A lot has happened. Like a lot was kind
- 33:01of a shit show. Yeah, that's what I was going
- 33:03to say, but I didn't know if we're allowed to
- 33:05say that I could blur it out if I really want
- 33:07to. It was a shit show. Yeah. Yeah, there's like
- 33:11Cape. It kind of felt like. Everybody blew their
- 33:18load on week one. So they didn't have anything
- 33:22left except for Josh Allen. Oh Lord. You know
- 33:26what I mean? Oh Lord. Yes. Yes. Yes. There was
- 33:29a lot of that. Um, Josh Allen, like he said the
- 33:34tone, he said the tone and then no one followed
- 33:37it. He said the tone for the week one mentality.
- 33:40Um, I don't understand. Okay. I do understand.
- 33:44The lines are not good. I'm sorry. The lines
- 33:47are not good. So their biggest problems aside
- 33:53from their holes everywhere on defense is they've
- 33:58they were too good when you get to a certain
- 34:02point and it's because of your coordinators people
- 34:07start poaching all your coordinators well then
- 34:11your culture just kind of like fizzles and like
- 34:15so they've lost After run game, their offensive
- 34:21coordinator, they're down three DBS and corners.
- 34:30They're they're just it's not the same. They're
- 34:33a one dimensional team. Yeah, especially with
- 34:36like when you have a. A quarterback that is not
- 34:41mobile, he's in golf is amazing, he's incredibly
- 34:45accurate. However, he is again one -dimensional
- 34:49He is either handing it off or he is throwing
- 34:53it. There is no possibility He is gonna run for
- 34:5720 years. Yes. He's not gonna sneak out for an
- 35:00option play a Not like all these other mobile
- 35:03quarterbacks that there are right. I Joe burrows
- 35:06the same way Okay, Joe burrows like he's very
- 35:10accurate. He's He can he can run a little bit,
- 35:14but he can run more than golf. But like. It's
- 35:18not part of their game. You're not like, yeah,
- 35:21it's definitely not part of the game, but like
- 35:23you say that he's accurate. I saw so many balls
- 35:27that were inaccurate against Buffalo. It's good.
- 35:31I don't think they're online is the same as it
- 35:32used to be. No, no, no, no. They're like, that's
- 35:35what I mean. They have polls all over the place
- 35:37and like. It's easy again. It's eat when they
- 35:41had the like the best Oh line. Mm -hmm It's very
- 35:44easy for an accurate quarterback with lots of
- 35:47time to go through the reads and you're not wrong
- 35:49with that statement You're not wrong with that
- 35:50statement. Um, but when you're under duress all
- 35:53the time true true true Makes it significantly.
- 35:57I the one thing I did notice though while watching
- 36:00that game is for sure the impact of them opening
- 36:08up that new stadium. Played a huge part for how
- 36:12Buffalo played. Buffalo played with like a chip
- 36:14on the shoulder like they there was no way they
- 36:17were losing. A home game in that stadium. Yeah,
- 36:22no, like that was I was an amazing atmosphere.
- 36:25Josh Allen definitely like was like, especially
- 36:27the first half was like putting the cape on.
- 36:30It was like he got four touchdowns in the first.
- 36:33It was like watching Captain America and Captain
- 36:35Canuck in one. Yeah. Right. Because obviously,
- 36:37Buffalo is slowly turning into Canada's team.
- 36:40Yeah. Right. Because they obviously did the national
- 36:44anthem of Canada at an NFL game, which I think
- 36:47is fantastic and hilarious. Yeah, it's definitely
- 36:51both. It's definitely both. And like, you know
- 36:54what? Dallas Cowboys, you could be America's
- 36:56team. Canada's team is Buffalo. Like, okay, this
- 37:01is here's something that just irks me. I'm listening.
- 37:06Self -proclaimed. What? Well, go ahead. No, no,
- 37:09no, no, no. They spent how much money on this
- 37:12stadium? Way too much. Way too much. OK, OK.
- 37:19How much did they spend on the roof? There is
- 37:23no roof. There is no roof and half the year they're
- 37:26going to be playing in like this. Like why? You
- 37:31know what I mean? Well, it was it was a sign
- 37:33off. I get that half the fun of being a Buffalo
- 37:38fan is freezing your ass off. It's the Winter
- 37:43Games. It's their identity. It's an identity
- 37:47and an experience. But if you had the option
- 37:55of watching a game inside or watching it in a
- 38:01blizzard, If you're going, you're not wrong.
- 38:06You're not wrong. You're not wrong But when they
- 38:10were designed that stadium they had that it was
- 38:12like do we build it a dome or like two billion
- 38:16dollars? Put a roof on it people requested that
- 38:19it was open because that was the identity and
- 38:22to answer your question It was two point two
- 38:25billion dollars to build that stadium. Yeah,
- 38:27right, but they built it off of the totem or
- 38:30Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and The fans will be
- 38:34warm because the house design but the field itself
- 38:37would still be snowing So even if there's a blizzard
- 38:40the roof is designed in a way that it will definitely
- 38:43hit the field But the fans will still be warm
- 38:46enough to enjoy the game. We will see we will
- 38:50see in December when that winter hits I Mean
- 38:55is it's fun as it is. It kind of does make you
- 38:57realize. Oh, yeah, they do play in the winter
- 39:00but like from like a stats perspective But like
- 39:06name some iconic games that were snow games Majority
- 39:10of the time they were in Buffalo and usually
- 39:12against the Eagles but like I just think it's
- 39:15funny when you're like It is such an advantage
- 39:20but like they built a team we're like, oh yeah
- 39:22We throw we like to throw the ball and then they're
- 39:25like they build a team. That's like an indoor
- 39:27stadium team and then they're like You know Well,
- 39:33let's go play in a blizzard and you're like watching
- 39:36them on Thursday though. They're not just a throwing
- 39:38team Yeah, right. No, right. They have definitely
- 39:41evolved That's what they used to yes They were
- 39:44before like that's why it never worked and then
- 39:46and then once it got cold they became a running
- 39:48team Yeah, so they were very one -dimensional
- 39:51but I don't know. I just think it's funny when
- 39:54You spend so much money and you're like, you
- 39:57know what? I think we'll make the players freeze
- 40:02to death. They know what they kind of sign up
- 40:07for. I say that even though they get drafted.
- 40:10But then there's the ones that come in free agency.
- 40:12Like remember that one game when who was it?
- 40:17He was was it Miami in Kansas City in Arrowhead?
- 40:22Yes. And like Andy Reid's mustache is freezing
- 40:26and like the. The ground is legitimate concrete.
- 40:30Yep. Cause it's like minus 35. Yep. Yep. They're
- 40:35just like, you know what would prevent all that?
- 40:37A roof. They're like, I don't know. It just,
- 40:43it, it seems crazy that you practice, like you
- 40:47do all these things. It's all like super precise
- 40:50precision. And then they like enter the elements
- 40:53that just best every. Well, let's be honest.
- 40:55Those elements make the game that much better
- 40:58because they're unpredictable. But all right,
- 41:02so but then when people like complain, they're
- 41:04like, oh, I can't believe you dropped that pass
- 41:07and like it was in a blizzard. What did you expect?
- 41:09True, true. Obviously, like we're not talking
- 41:12every single game. Yeah. But there's some games
- 41:14that we're definitely going to talk about. Obviously
- 41:19we just talked about the lines in them and in
- 41:21the bills and how like the bills were but there
- 41:24was a number one defense Playing against an offense
- 41:29that should have been dominant or wait was dominant
- 41:32and made a defense really look bad I'm talking
- 41:35about the Bengals versus the Texans 20 to 6 Yeah,
- 41:40I'm still like amazed at how that game went Not
- 41:48that like I didn't think our defense was legit,
- 41:51but I didn't realize it was gonna be like this.
- 41:53Okay, like they held mind you the Texans I guess
- 41:59it was there's mostly in the second half when
- 42:01the Bengals were up by a lot. Yeah They held
- 42:04them to like 18 rushing yards or something. Yes,
- 42:07which is unheard of for a Bengals to They're
- 42:10not wrong. So everyone that was saying oh Dexter
- 42:13Lawrence is a bust all that like no, you're all
- 42:15wrong. Yeah I think he is like the highest grade
- 42:19for defensive tackle this year. Did he actually?
- 42:23Yeah. Oh, damn. I mean, like, that's what happens
- 42:26when you are just blowing up plays left, right
- 42:29and center. Like he was playing. He played so
- 42:32well and like our offense. Granted, the Texas
- 42:35defense is really good. But not this week. Well,
- 42:41they would agree like to have a very good offense.
- 42:44They didn't weren't doing anything. Great. But
- 42:48it's one of like the Bengals punted eight times.
- 42:52Yes, I did, which is a lot. And I think the.
- 42:58The Bengals actually punted more than the. I
- 43:04then the Texans, it's crazy because like when
- 43:06you look at it, the Bengals total yards, 267
- 43:11Texans, 374, but Texas only scored six points.
- 43:16Yeah. Like, I know it's great. It's crazy. The
- 43:21like the Bengals defense is looking like that
- 43:26very strong bend. Don't break. Like when you're
- 43:30holding them to six, six points in a game is
- 43:34amazing. The question is, is that sustainable,
- 43:37though? I guess we'll find out. Right. We play
- 43:41the Steelers next week, so I can't imagine the
- 43:44Steelers often I'm more worried about the Steelers
- 43:46defense scoring on us than their offense Is the
- 43:50defense has gotten just as many touchdowns as
- 43:52their offense has You're not wrong. You're not
- 43:55wrong, which is hilarious You're wrong Okay But
- 44:01anyway, the Bengals are fantastic chase bounce
- 44:03back. Yep So once they're once the Bengals offense
- 44:07starts clicking clicking Well, everyone's in
- 44:10trouble. We'll see. We'll see that this is we
- 44:13got the Steelers and then we got the Jags and
- 44:16then we got a Got the Dolphins. Okay, so you
- 44:22got a few easy games We'll see the Steelers in
- 44:28bagels in Like in division games are always a
- 44:32little harder 100 % there. Everybody knows each
- 44:35other really well. Yeah, and then The Jags are
- 44:39I don't even know. I don't know if the Jags are
- 44:40good. It's so hard to say. OK. And then the Dolphins
- 44:44are awful. So let me get a bottle. True. One
- 44:48game that did catch me off guard, though, was
- 44:50like the Packers and Jets. We're talking about
- 44:54the Packers and Jets going into overtime. Now,
- 44:58I don't really want to spend much time talking
- 45:00about it, but like there were so many. That game
- 45:02was ugly. There was so many penalties in that
- 45:05game. There was like. Almost 300 yards and penalties
- 45:07and it was like the it was the first time a team
- 45:10had won with getting under 200 yards in like
- 45:16forever And it was in overtime. So you had an
- 45:19extra drive true true. That was successful. I
- 45:25Think for me the biggest the biggest takeaway
- 45:27that I took from that game though was that I
- 45:30Was watching to see if the Jets were gonna go
- 45:332 -0 Yeah, like And the Jets look are looking
- 45:37better. The Packers. I don't know what's happening
- 45:40with them. They're not playing well. They like.
- 45:45Ever after they played a really good first half
- 45:47week one and then it's been downhill ever trip
- 45:50structure. But yeah, we'll see how that all plays
- 45:58out this year. For me, I'm a little concerned
- 46:01with my Eagles. We play the the Titans. And that
- 46:05was sketchy. And we did over. That was a sketchy
- 46:08way. Jalen Hurts has is Mr. Clutch. I'll give
- 46:12him that. But it was iffy. Yeah, I was very,
- 46:17very concerned about that whole deal. Saquon
- 46:22went down. That was just temporary, though. But
- 46:26Goddard's out now to the point where we had to,
- 46:29as you mentioned earlier, off the air. Zach Hertz
- 46:34is now assigned to the practice squad, so it's
- 46:36only a matter of time till he's back on. Is that
- 46:39frozen? Are we frozen? It looks frozen, but I
- 46:42have it backed up. I'll show you. And pause.
- 46:55There we go. All right. I'm less sketched out
- 46:59now. Okay, so we might have to splice together
- 47:08some audio. Just just for your hiccups to start
- 47:16the year. Yeah, that's what it is. Get them out
- 47:19of get them out now. Before this is exactly just
- 47:23like the Eagles are getting their hiccups out
- 47:25now. Oh, yo, I wish it was that easy, though.
- 47:28Okay, at least they got the win. Oh, yes. I am.
- 47:32So those are the ones that like it sucks. If
- 47:35you play bad and lose, playing good and the other
- 47:39team plays better is different than you play
- 47:42bad and the other team plays slightly better
- 47:46than you, but they're not a good team. True.
- 47:50Because honestly, I would consider this a win
- 47:53for the Titans. Oh, 100%. The Titans are 1000%,
- 47:58not a playoff team. This is just helping them
- 48:05out in that draft the the race to the bottom
- 48:09But it's helping them or their morale and being
- 48:12like oh we can hang with the Eagles. Yes So it's
- 48:16like it gives them that boost without giving
- 48:18them that win that they don't really need It
- 48:21sounds awful. But like you know what I mean?
- 48:27I'm concerned about the Eagles. I Mean, I wouldn't
- 48:31be a fan if I wasn't concerned Um, for me right
- 48:35now, I'm looking at it and. All the issues that
- 48:39we usually say about the Eagles. We said that
- 48:43last year near like the middle to end of the
- 48:45season, and now we're saying it kind of right
- 48:48now. And with Nick Sirianni, he's the type of
- 48:51person that's just like, we'll just deal with
- 48:53it and try to like get better. Yeah, I get that
- 48:56until like we have to. And it's like, we can't
- 48:59run the ball right now. And like they need like.
- 49:02As soon as Kelsey retired Our own line has never
- 49:07been the same. No, like we're talking about the
- 49:10Lions and how like an OC Yeah, and a DC would
- 49:15be fair. Jalen Hurts has had like five OCs 10
- 49:18and there's a 10 in his whole career. He's never
- 49:21had a career I mean with the Eagles, but he's
- 49:23never had it like he's never had a stable OC
- 49:25stay with them It's always been a new one every
- 49:28year. But yeah, like even when we're we're talking
- 49:31about Saquon Barkley can't can't get going because
- 49:34he gets if your running back is getting hit while
- 49:37he can still touch your quarterback. That's not
- 49:41a good ola. You're not wrong. Like that's an
- 49:44issue. Yes. Like he should be getting at least
- 49:48to the line of scrimmage. At least he should
- 49:51be at least running forward when he gets hit.
- 49:56No, you're definitely correct. This is a huge
- 49:58win for the Titans. More so than it was for the
- 50:02Eagles. Yeah, I'm happy that we did. We still
- 50:05have Mr. Clutch on our side and he's still playing
- 50:08on like AJ Brown over there. But I'm not salty
- 50:13or salty. I don't know what you're talking about.
- 50:17That's what I got. Other than that, like overall,
- 50:20I'm just happy to be an Eagles fan. So yeah,
- 50:23it's it's ones like this. This is like may not
- 50:29be sustainable. But you might as well win the
- 50:33ones you can. So then the ones that you have
- 50:35to win. Well, you have a blueprint, you have
- 50:39a foundation. This was just a weird week, though,
- 50:42like the the difference in like offense last
- 50:46week versus this week. Like, for example, the
- 50:49the Bears. What happened? Oh, my God. OK, so
- 50:54they went from both before we fifty nine points
- 50:57to three. So what I'll say is 56 less points
- 51:04than last meeting I'm huge shadow to Emily Gillett
- 51:08cuz Gillett Last week was talking about how amazing
- 51:13her fantasy football team was and I'm snipping
- 51:15this accordingly how amazing her oh She's gonna
- 51:20go over 200 points in fantasy football and I
- 51:24know she finished with 157 so still up there.
- 51:27Yeah, don't get me wrong, but I think she Just
- 51:30a lot of Chicago players. Yeah, right and Like
- 51:34yeah, like we said in this Loveland he got me
- 51:38one and a half points a better than last week.
- 51:40That is Yeah, one percent better. No, not even
- 51:44one percent better. That's incidentally better
- 51:46What I'll say is it is funny how It's so up and
- 51:55down. Well, no we said Josh Allen set the tone
- 51:58for this week and no one else followed. It's
- 52:00it. Yeah, right Obviously Caleb Williams going
- 52:04down And during his hamstring and it was a weird
- 52:09one because like I was watching I was like, how
- 52:12did you injure and it's like just a simple movement
- 52:15react I I was initially thinking like oh is it
- 52:19Achilles but like he kind of limped off, but
- 52:22then he was like doing a like Crying like his
- 52:28season was done. So it's like, oh, is it his
- 52:31knees? It is Achilles. Is it like something real
- 52:34bad? Like. And then he's like day to day with
- 52:38a hamstring strain. You're like, really? Like,
- 52:43no, I'm not like saying, but like that's his
- 52:46style, like he needs to be able to be mobile
- 52:47in the market or he can't be as dynamic as part
- 52:51is a hamster like a hamstring strain. The day
- 52:54to day ones are the ones that are like. Those
- 52:56are going to be a lingering injury the whole
- 52:59year that it doesn't get better as me. If he
- 53:01comes back for a game, then hurts it more or
- 53:05pulls out for a little bit longer. Yeah. And
- 53:08then you got, uh, Daniels. Ooh. Shout out to
- 53:15Lee fell on his arm. Shout out to Gillette again.
- 53:19She sent me a, a great name. I think it was like
- 53:23not funny, but. Uh, in one of my leagues, nobody
- 53:27wanted to touch him because everyone was like,
- 53:30that man has made a glass and everyone was like,
- 53:32and then the one guy finally actually picked
- 53:34him up like super late and was like, Oh, I got
- 53:37him for the steal. But like, Oh God, I'll post
- 53:43that for y 'all too. But, uh, he just can't stay
- 53:49healthy. But you know what I think the grossest
- 53:52part of that entire play was? What's up? Not
- 53:55his arm. The fact that he fell, injured himself,
- 54:02his entire offense, saw him laying on the ground,
- 54:07holding his arm, hobbling around, and they all
- 54:10just looked back, looked at him, and then turned
- 54:14their heads and walked off. You know what I mean?
- 54:18It wasn't that concern that was like, oh yeah,
- 54:21this happens sometimes. That's a leadership issue
- 54:23though. Yeah, that's a huge leadership issue,
- 54:26especially when we know how dominant and like
- 54:29dynamic he is as a quarterback. If your own line
- 54:32is has that mentality. Out of respect, they should
- 54:35keep him out for five weeks. Why do you say that?
- 54:40Five. I can't with you. I can't. But I honestly,
- 54:51I think like those shenanigans are the reason
- 54:55why no one respects, respects him in that aspect.
- 54:59Oh my God. Like everyone's annoyed with like
- 55:02those off field shenanigans. And then when he
- 55:05gets hurt on the field, they're like, eh, Mariota
- 55:07can do it. It's fine. Oh my God. That is hilarious.
- 55:11Um, cause it's funny. Cause like there's a, there's
- 55:14a video about Michael Irving obviously played
- 55:17for the Dallas Cowboys number 88. And they're
- 55:20like, why don't you get your number retired?
- 55:22And he's just like, it is so disrespectful for
- 55:27yourself to be having your number retired because
- 55:30the only other time you're going to be recognized
- 55:32is when you pass away. And then be like, oh,
- 55:34huge shout out to Michael Irvin. Yeah. Picture
- 55:37of his jersey and then back to the game. But
- 55:41since he doesn't ever want his jersey number
- 55:43to be retired, he will live on. as a Dallas Cowboy
- 55:46legend, because C .D. Lamb is number 88. So if
- 55:50C .D. Lamb doesn't catch that ball, they're like,
- 55:53Michael, everyone would have got that ball. Yeah.
- 55:55Or if he catches it and makes an amazing plays
- 55:58like that looks a lot like Michael Irving. He
- 56:01lives on. Yeah. Right. When when you retired,
- 56:04the number lives on with you. But no one can
- 56:07compare you when you're like numbers like that.
- 56:10You're like, oh, look at all the great players
- 56:12that have worn this number. You're like it's
- 56:15less of like I feel like I wouldn't want my number
- 56:18retired. I would want my number reserved for
- 56:21star players That yeah or You know, I mean like
- 56:28it builds a legacy and be like, oh that player
- 56:30wore that jersey You have a big shoes to fill.
- 56:33Yeah. Yeah you have those those numbers that
- 56:37you're like If I For example Joe burrow retires
- 56:46and or gave another bangles one 85. Okay. Oh,
- 56:54okay. But it's also just think of just think
- 56:59of, yes. So you kind of like, he's kind of continuing
- 57:05that legacy of that number. Yes. Yes. Like 85
- 57:08is always open. 85 is usually always open. Yeah.
- 57:13Oh yeah. I like that. I like that. It's like
- 57:17it's kind of like when you have a house and you
- 57:21put all this this effort into making it nice.
- 57:24And then you move. You want to drive fast back
- 57:29past your old neighborhood and see that old house
- 57:32and be like. Oh, damn, they made it look nice.
- 57:36That's my house. Like, oh, look at that catch.
- 57:40He's got my number. Yeah, I like that. I like
- 57:44that. Um, I Know like we're getting to the point
- 57:49where like we're near the end One thing I'll
- 57:54talk about is that's Sunday night game we have
- 57:58to talk about it She's got lucky No, you know
- 58:06what the Colts got lucky at that end. Oh, yeah
- 58:10the overtime Where they fumbled the ball and
- 58:15it was down and then they decided to run the
- 58:18ball three times That was that's poor coaching.
- 58:22That is poor coaching as a fan of the game I
- 58:26was looking at it was just like you had an opportunity
- 58:29to do what we were all Screaming for you to do
- 58:32and beat the Chiefs. Yeah Prime time and you
- 58:36decided to run the ball with Taylor. No, don't
- 58:38get wrong Taylor was having a great fantasy game
- 58:41He was having no, he was having a great game,
- 58:43but like. When that's where you're going and
- 58:46you're like, you're not getting to like, you
- 58:49got to do something true. Sure, I know I they
- 58:55they definitely needed to find a way to finish
- 58:58that game. When they were like fourth and eight
- 59:01near the end, they needed to go for it, taking
- 59:05the field goal. What are you doing? OK, I'm.
- 59:10At that point you're only play you're playing
- 59:12for the top here, you know at that point you're
- 59:15either tying or losing Because you knew the Chiefs
- 59:20are not gonna give the ball back. There is not
- 59:22enough time So you're either Playing for a tie
- 59:26or you're losing. Do you want to lose? Or do
- 59:30you want to win? I I was having this confidence
- 59:34there. I was having a discussion. It was like
- 59:38You at least a fourth and eight is kind of hard.
- 59:41I I was saying you don't run the ball for your
- 59:44first two Yeah, right you throw the ball and
- 59:48then I if you can't Get it cuz like you make
- 59:52sure that the only person you receive the ball
- 59:54is your wide receiver or you're running bad Or
- 59:58you try to get a little bit closer and get a
- 1:00:01first down and so that your last resort is to
- 1:00:03kick it Drop down the time So then gave the city
- 1:00:07didn't have enough time to come back. You play
- 1:00:10for the tie. At the end. Exactly. Right. You
- 1:00:16don't pay for that. You don't kick the tie. You
- 1:00:19play for the tie where you play for the win.
- 1:00:21Yeah. Right. You don't play to lose the game.
- 1:00:23And I was watching it was like, cool, it's near
- 1:00:26the end of that game. You were playing to either
- 1:00:28win or lose. And you had an opportunity to just
- 1:00:31tie the game. Tying the game has more of an impact.
- 1:00:35than losing Yeah, but not like Especially when
- 1:00:43they the way the game has gone. Yeah If it was
- 1:00:48a game that was very defensive That's different
- 1:00:52true like if let's say I don't know the Vikings
- 1:00:57and Bears were tied Six six at the end of the
- 1:01:01game. Okay, obviously you kick the field goal.
- 1:01:03No offenses are working Yes, yes. But when the
- 1:01:06game is tied at 27. Going into overtime, both
- 1:01:12offenses are moving the ball down the field,
- 1:01:16so the odds of them getting in like the. The
- 1:01:20Chiefs getting into field goal range is very
- 1:01:24hot 100 % 100%. So kicking that field goal is
- 1:01:27basically like giving the game away. Yes. Correct.
- 1:01:33Clock management all it took was clock management.
- 1:01:36Yeah, but hey I'm intrigued now. We got a big
- 1:01:40game going on right now That's happening tonight.
- 1:01:43Obviously. We're at clubhouse where if you come
- 1:01:46to clubhouse on Monday night You have a chance
- 1:01:48to win an amazing jersey Our in a bit we got
- 1:01:52a jersey to give away exactly exactly. It's the
- 1:01:56New York Giants versus the LA Rams Let me know
- 1:01:59your prediction Ah, it's gonna be very hard to
- 1:02:04predict because the Rams were so awful in Australia
- 1:02:07Obviously, they don't have miles Garrett. Yeah,
- 1:02:11because he's injured. Yep. They don't have puka
- 1:02:13crap, but they do have Aaron Donald back So it's
- 1:02:16kind of gonna be like a little bit vintage. Yeah,
- 1:02:18I'm predicting a lot of running a lot of play
- 1:02:21action. Yep and I'm predicting a lot of fun from
- 1:02:28the Giants. I don't know what's gonna happen
- 1:02:30but They're a very exciting team right now. True,
- 1:02:33true, true. For me right now, I'm looking at
- 1:02:36it and. I know they're playing in LA. Yeah, but
- 1:02:42I bet you there's it's going to be a lot of Giants
- 1:02:45fans that, but I also want to say this. The Giants
- 1:02:51surprise me and with hardball as their coach,
- 1:02:54I think this is going to be a lot closer due
- 1:02:57to the fact that the experience. and the eagerness
- 1:03:00of the Giants wanting to win might push them
- 1:03:04to be similar to the cheese and indie game where
- 1:03:09it this game could go to overtime. Maybe. I don't
- 1:03:13know. I feel like I kind of want to go with the
- 1:03:16Giants. I want to ride with the Giants even though
- 1:03:18I'm an Eagles fan. They're just fun. Yeah, but
- 1:03:22they're fun. They're exciting. The Rams are like,
- 1:03:24you know, you're like they were so hyped up at
- 1:03:27the beginning of the year. Not that I want to
- 1:03:29forget about them immediately, but they're like,
- 1:03:31everyone's number one. And then they just put
- 1:03:34up an absolute say, mind you, it could be, I'll
- 1:03:37have a lot to do with traveling to the other
- 1:03:40side of the world, which is a big thing. I don't
- 1:03:45know. It's just exciting. Oh my God. Those are,
- 1:03:49those are white yellow hideous jerseys. Well,
