3:19
Speaker 3: this weekend. I am also doing TikTok live right now
3:22
Speaker 3: as I do this podcast. So actually, the funny thing
3:25
Speaker 3: is people who are watching live get to see my
3:30
Speaker 3: podcast live right now. Everybody else, you guys, get to
3:33
Speaker 3: hear it recorded later. So that's crazy. But here we go.
3:36
Speaker 3: Let's kick off the show. Let's talk about some Chicago
3:39
Speaker 3: Bears news. As you heard, we just kicked off the
3:41
Speaker 3: show with Bear downs Chicago Bears. My Bears finally signed
3:46
Speaker 3: a real head coach. I am so excited. The Detroit
3:50
Speaker 3: Lions lost on Saturday. By Monday afternoon, it was announced
3:54
Speaker 3: that the Chicago Bears signed offensive coordinator Ben Johnson as
3:58
Speaker 3: our new head coach. It was amazing. Chicago Bears did
4:02
Speaker 3: something that I've never seen them do. They pulled a
4:05
Speaker 3: non Bears move and actually signed who we wanted. Okay,
4:10
Speaker 3: and now, not every single person in the world wanted
4:13
Speaker 3: as a Bears fan wanted Ben Johnson. Some wanted Pete
4:16
Speaker 3: Carroll someone and Mike McCarthy, you know. Some wanted other
4:21
Speaker 3: guys from other teams, you know, to come in and
4:23
Speaker 3: be the head coach. But Ben Johnson was probably eighty
4:27
Speaker 3: percent of Bears fans and analysts wanted Ben Johnson. So
4:33
Speaker 3: that's crazy. I am so excited. I think it's gonna
4:37
Speaker 3: be a brand new day. Detroit actually lost not only
4:44
Speaker 3: their offensive coordinator, but they also lost their defensive coordinator,
4:48
Speaker 3: who is going to be the new head coach of
4:50
Speaker 3: the Jets. Crazy crazy thing. I cannot believe that the
4:54
Speaker 3: Lions went from a Super Bowl contender to losing two
4:58
Speaker 3: of their big coordinators. Now we're going to see because
5:02
Speaker 3: a lot of fans in Detroit are claiming that it
5:05
Speaker 3: was never the coordinators, it was always Dan Campbell. We're
5:08
Speaker 3: going to see what they can do now now that
5:11
Speaker 3: they're gone, because I don't believe we are going to
5:15
Speaker 3: see the Lions be as good as they were. The
5:19
Speaker 3: Lions went from the best team in the NFC to
5:24
Speaker 3: a well, I'm not gonna say a first round exit,
5:27
Speaker 3: first round for them because they were in the second week,
5:30
Speaker 3: they had the bye week, They had all that time
5:32
Speaker 3: to prepare for the Washington Commanders with a rookie quarterback. Now,
5:37
Speaker 3: I'll tell you now, Jade Daniels I believe is going
5:40
Speaker 3: to be Rookie of the Year. But I think that
5:45
Speaker 3: by the end of their careers because of Ben Johnson,
5:49
Speaker 3: I think Caleb Williams is going to be a better
5:53
Speaker 3: quarterback than Jane Daniels. You can't judge a man by
5:59
Speaker 3: his first year in the NFL. You just can't. You
6:01
Speaker 3: cannot judge by the first year. We all know this,
6:07
Speaker 3: so yeah, I am all excited. I am all in
6:10
Speaker 3: on Ben Johnson coming here. I think the Bears turning around.
6:13
Speaker 3: I think next year we win eleven or twelve games,
6:17
Speaker 3: he's not playing around. I'm gonna read you a few
6:20
Speaker 3: quotes really quick from Ben Johnson's incoming press conference about
6:27
Speaker 3: different things. So hold on one second, all right, So
6:29
Speaker 3: here's some takeaways from the press conference with Ben Johnson
6:33
Speaker 3: over the week. Number one point, Johnson badly wanted to
6:37
Speaker 3: coach Caleb Williams. Johnson himself said that that afternoon that
6:41
Speaker 3: the NFL is a quarterback driven league and he clearly
6:44
Speaker 3: believes that Chicago already has a quarterback that can win
6:47
Speaker 3: Super Bowls. In his prepared remarks, he listed three reasons
6:51
Speaker 3: for why he chose the Bears, and Caleb Williams was
6:53
Speaker 3: one of them. Later, during a Q and A session,
6:56
Speaker 3: reporters press Johnson for more details on what exactly about
6:59
Speaker 3: the Bear's job was more appealing than the openings with
7:02
Speaker 3: other teams. Johnson mentioned the people and the atmosphere in
7:06
Speaker 3: the organization. He then gave a choy smirk and added,
7:09
Speaker 3: having a quarterback helps. Now was that a dig? Oh,
7:13
Speaker 3: thanks Jess, thank you, thank you so much. I had
7:16
Speaker 3: somebody said they love my hair. That's awesome, Thank you
7:18
Speaker 3: so much. It doesn't always look like this, but I
7:22
Speaker 3: am I'm recording my podcast so you can come along
7:25
Speaker 3: and listen to my podcast. It's fun. We're talking sports
7:28
Speaker 3: right now. Later during the Q and A session, some
7:33
Speaker 3: reporters preus Johnson for more details. He said he loves
7:36
Speaker 3: having a quarterback. Was that a dig at Goff? I'm
7:43
Speaker 3: wondering because Goff is not as good as people think,
7:46
Speaker 3: and the Rams definitely won that trade. I don't care
7:49
Speaker 3: what anybody says. The Rams won that trade. They have
7:52
Speaker 3: already won a super Bowl and golf has proven that
7:56
Speaker 3: he can't even get past the second round. This year,
8:00
Speaker 3: they actually regressed. They had a better record, but in
8:04
Speaker 3: the playoffs they actually regressed. They went backwards. They last
8:07
Speaker 3: year made the NFC Championship game this year, and no,
8:11
Speaker 3: the whole sery that he threw that game because he
8:14
Speaker 3: knew who was coming to the Bears. No, that did
8:16
Speaker 3: not happen. Ben Johnson would never have just thrown a game.
8:20
Speaker 3: First of all, can you imagine him bringing a Super
8:23
Speaker 3: Bowl championship to Chicago. That would have been an amazing
8:28
Speaker 3: way to start your head coaching career. So here we go.
8:34
Speaker 3: Let's see Chicago's offense will not be a copycat of Detroit.
8:39
Speaker 3: A lot of people wonder was he going to bring
8:41
Speaker 3: his playbook. Well, here's the thing. The most of the teams,
8:45
Speaker 3: especially in the NFC North, already know that playbook. So
8:50
Speaker 3: he said he is going to make a playbook around
8:53
Speaker 3: the quarterback, which is what you do. He did the
8:56
Speaker 3: same thing with golf. He made a playbook around golf,
8:59
Speaker 3: So now he's going to do that with Caleb. Caleb
9:01
Speaker 3: has a better offset upside than golf does. And we
9:04
Speaker 3: all know this. Making the playoffs in twenty twenty five
9:07
Speaker 3: is not out of the question. When asked about the
9:09
Speaker 3: timeline he envisioned forgetting the Bears back into the playoffs,
9:12
Speaker 3: Johnson mostly demurred to answer, giving a couple of coach
9:17
Speaker 3: speak platitudes, but when pressed on whether he thought he
9:21
Speaker 3: would get Chicago into the playoffs as soon as next year,
9:23
Speaker 3: he didn't rule it out. That's what I like to hear. Accountability.
9:28
Speaker 3: We've heard this one from Thomas Brown, and Thomas Brown
9:32
Speaker 3: was a lot better of an offensive coordinator than anybody else.
9:36
Speaker 3: But here we go. Johnson used the word over and
9:40
Speaker 3: over in his press conference. Even in his prepared remarks,
9:43
Speaker 3: Johnson's stressed that every player will be pushed to become
9:46
Speaker 3: the best version of themselves. In fact, he said to
9:49
Speaker 3: the players, this was a quote, be comfortable being uncomfortable.
9:55
Speaker 3: That's what he said to the players. And it also
10:03
Speaker 3: sounds like Jalen Johnson, Cole Comett, and Montest Sweat could
10:06
Speaker 3: step in a major leadership roles, which they should. They
10:09
Speaker 3: are They've been there for a long time. These Bears
10:12
Speaker 3: players have been around. Okay, Montest Sweat's been in the
10:16
Speaker 3: league for a while. Cole Comett has been with the
10:19
Speaker 3: Bears for a long time. Jalen Johnson just signed a
10:22
Speaker 3: you know, decent sized contract. These players need to step up.
10:27
Speaker 3: The only thing I'm wondering will Keenan Allen be back?
10:30
Speaker 3: Is Keenan Allen gonna be a Bear next year? And
10:32
Speaker 3: I kind of hope he does. I would love to
10:35
Speaker 3: see the offense run it back with the wide receivers
10:39
Speaker 3: that we had, and you know, get the offensive line
10:43
Speaker 3: better have swift in there, and then maybe draft a
10:47
Speaker 3: quarterback at number ten. Here a lot of people are
10:50
Speaker 3: gonna say, no, you got a draft an offensive lineman
10:53
Speaker 3: at number ten. The best offensive linemen are going to
10:56
Speaker 3: be gone within the first like eight spots. In fact,
11:01
Speaker 3: we're gonna start doing our mock drafts pretty soon because
11:04
Speaker 3: now we get into the draft. We signed a coach.
11:07
Speaker 3: Now we get into the draft, and we see what's
11:09
Speaker 3: gonna happen from there. So all right, let's move on
11:12
Speaker 3: now to football, because to the NFL games for the weekend.
11:16
Speaker 3: We have games going on this weekend. Oh and here's
11:18
Speaker 3: breaking news that I just saw today. Raiders and Pete
11:21
Speaker 3: Carroll agree on a three year deal to make him
11:24
Speaker 3: the new head coach. So Pete Carroll got the job
11:28
Speaker 3: as the Raiders head coach. That is awesome. Good for him.
11:31
Speaker 3: I hope he does really good. I just I feel
11:35
Speaker 3: like we got our coach with Ben Johnson. We don't
11:37
Speaker 3: need old Pete Carroll. We don't need Mike McCarthy. You know,
11:43
Speaker 3: people who wanted those guys don't remember John Fox. Okay,
11:47
Speaker 3: the people who say, oh, these offensive coordinators never pan out.
11:52
Speaker 3: Every head coach was once an offensive coordinator, or a
11:55
Speaker 3: defensive coordinator or a special teams coordinator. Every coach, no
12:01
Speaker 3: coaches walks right in. Ninety nine percent of head coaches
12:05
Speaker 3: don't just walk into a head coaching job without being
12:09
Speaker 3: something before that. So yeah, let's move on and talk
12:12
Speaker 3: about the NFL games. This weekend. So we got two
12:15
Speaker 3: NFL games this weekend, and let's talk about it. So
12:20
Speaker 3: here we go, all right. So here we go two
12:26
Speaker 3: games this weekend. The winners go on to the super Bowl.
12:30
Speaker 3: That is amazing. I can't believe we are already at
12:33
Speaker 3: Super Bowl. It's insane to think about. But here we go,
12:37
Speaker 3: all right. So the first game on the docket is
12:40
Speaker 3: the Commanders and the Eagles in Philly on Sunday, January
12:44
Speaker 3: twenty sixth at two pm. I'll go with the Eagles.
12:49
Speaker 3: I'll go into that in the second. The second game
12:52
Speaker 3: of the window is right after that at five point thirty.
12:55
Speaker 3: It's the AFC Championship game, the Bills and the Chiefs
12:59
Speaker 3: in Kansas City. I'm taking the Bills. Statistically, everybody thinks
13:06
Speaker 3: the Chiefs are gonna win. The referees might try to
13:09
Speaker 3: sway that game, but I don't think it's gonna happen.
13:13
Speaker 3: I think Buffalo wins. I think Josh Allen makes it
13:16
Speaker 3: to the super Bowl, and then the Commanders and Eagles.
13:20
Speaker 3: I don't feel Jayden Daniels is ready for it yet.
13:22
Speaker 3: He shouldn't be as a rookie. Not a lot of
13:25
Speaker 3: rookie you had quarterbacks make it to the Super Bowl
13:28
Speaker 3: in their first year. In fact, no rookie quarterback that
13:31
Speaker 3: led his team has ever won a Super Bowl. And
13:35
Speaker 3: that's a stat that you can look up. Never happened,
13:38
Speaker 3: and it's not gonna happen this year. Either. Commanders had
13:40
Speaker 3: a great season. They will definitely be back next year
13:44
Speaker 3: in the playoffs. I think the Bears will be right
13:46
Speaker 3: with them. We may see a Kleb and Jayde and
13:50
Speaker 3: Daniels matchup next year, which I would love. But I
13:54
Speaker 3: don't want anybody to fail. And here's the thing I
13:58
Speaker 3: love when a QB draft. All have good seasons, all
14:03
Speaker 3: have good careers. I love Drake May, I love Bo Knicks,
14:07
Speaker 3: I love Michael Pennix Junior, I love Caleb Williams, I
14:10
Speaker 3: love Jade Daniels. I want all five of them to
14:16
Speaker 3: have a great career. I don't want any of them
14:20
Speaker 3: to fail. Why would you want any of them to fail?
14:22
Speaker 3: Why would you want any of them to be a bust.
14:25
Speaker 3: I still want to see Bryce Young have an amazing season,
14:30
Speaker 3: an amazing career, and I still think he can. C
14:34
Speaker 3: J Stroud, I love CJ Stroud, great player, second year
14:39
Speaker 3: in the league. Still did good this year. He did
14:41
Speaker 3: regress a little bit, and I think Jayden Daniels will
14:45
Speaker 3: regress a little next year. I think teams figured him out,
14:48
Speaker 3: and I think that once they figure you out, now
14:51
Speaker 3: you gotta change your game up. See the difference with
14:55
Speaker 3: Caleb is Caleb's going to have a brand new coach
14:58
Speaker 3: that knows how to scheme for a core. He knows
15:01
Speaker 3: what he's doing in there. He made Goff look amazing. Goff,
15:04
Speaker 3: He's an amazing quarterback in Detroit. He just can't get
15:07
Speaker 3: over that hump and make it to the super Bowl.
15:10
Speaker 3: But he is an amazing quarterback. Under Ben Johnson, We're
15:15
Speaker 3: gonna see what he does. Because he was okay with
15:18
Speaker 3: the Rams, they traded him for Stafford. The Rams already
15:23
Speaker 3: definitely won that trade. I mean, you can't even just
15:27
Speaker 3: like the Bears won that Carolina trade. Now with Ben Johnson,
15:33
Speaker 3: if Kayleb Williams becomes a superstar quarterback, that's it. Bears
15:39
Speaker 3: definitely won that trade. They already won just with Dj
15:42
Speaker 3: Moore alone and with that number one pick. And now
15:46
Speaker 3: we've got their number two pick or their number or
15:48
Speaker 3: their second round pick this year. So now we got
15:50
Speaker 3: two second round picks. This is gonna be an amazing draft,
15:54
Speaker 3: and Ben Johnson is not gonna let them skimp. They
15:57
Speaker 3: didn't skimp on him come in here. They pay him
16:00
Speaker 3: good money. I don't know. I didn't see the release
16:03
Speaker 3: of the contract. I don't even know if they released
16:05
Speaker 3: it yet, but I'm telling you now, he didn't come cheap.
16:08
Speaker 3: The Bears usually go for the cheapest coach that they
16:12
Speaker 3: can find, and I'll tell you now that wasn't Ben Jhonson.
16:18
Speaker 3: The Bears did something that I've never seen. The Bears
16:21
Speaker 3: did not pull a Bears move for the first time
16:25
Speaker 3: in decades of me being a fan. I've watched this
16:28
Speaker 3: team since I was like five years old, probably younger
16:32
Speaker 3: than that, but that's what I remember. I remember watching
16:36
Speaker 3: the Bears at five. So I've been a Bears fan
16:41
Speaker 3: for almost forty years of my life. I'm forty four.
16:44
Speaker 3: When I hit forty five, that will literally be and really,
16:47
Speaker 3: you can save forty five years because I've been watching
16:52
Speaker 3: him since I was born. I'm reading some of the
17:01
Speaker 3: I read some of the comments once in a while.
17:04
Speaker 3: Did you date my uncle Charles Lightcamp? No? I did not.
17:08
Speaker 3: Oh my god, people are funny and live but yeah,
17:11
Speaker 3: so I think that we're going to have Philadelphia and Buffalo.
17:16
Speaker 3: That's my dream, but I have a feeling it's going
17:18
Speaker 3: to be Philadelphia and Kansas City. There's there's no way
17:23
Speaker 3: that I think that you're going to see Jane Daniels
17:29
Speaker 3: in the super Bowl this year. So we are going
17:33
Speaker 3: to move on now to something different. Now, let's move
17:36
Speaker 3: on to a little bit of wrestling talk, all right.
17:41
Speaker 3: So WW Royal Rumble is going to be live next
17:44
Speaker 3: Sunday or next Saturday, February first, from Lucas Oil Stadium
17:48
Speaker 3: in Indianapolis, Indiana. You can watch it on Peacock. Of course,
17:54
Speaker 3: it says beginning at six pm Eastern, so that's probably
17:57
Speaker 3: the pre show because I doubt it's start in that time.
18:01
Speaker 3: All right, so let's see what are the matches so far.
18:05
Speaker 3: We've got Kevin Owens and Cody Rhodes for the WW Championship.
18:09
Speaker 3: You're gonna have the Eagle Championship and Cody Rhodes Championship
18:14
Speaker 3: hanging from the ladder from the little thing they gotta
18:17
Speaker 3: climb the ladder, grab it and there's your winner, and
18:20
Speaker 3: then the Royal Rumble men and women's match. So far
18:22
Speaker 3: for the men, Robert Rains, CM Punk, Seth Rollins, Drew
18:27
Speaker 3: McIntyre and Sammy Zain have all came out, oh In
18:30
Speaker 3: La Night have all came out, so they're gonna be
18:32
Speaker 3: in there, which means there's still about twenty three other
18:36
Speaker 3: people that they haven't announced yet, so there's gonna be
18:39
Speaker 3: a lot of surprises. I bet for the women it's
18:43
Speaker 3: Royal Rumble. So far, they only got Bailey and Nia Jax,
18:47
Speaker 3: which leaves a lot of spots left. There's thirty, so
18:51
Speaker 3: there's twenty eight people that still have to be announced,
18:54
Speaker 3: which they won't. They're just gonna have a bunch of
18:55
Speaker 3: people coming back. I think you're gonna see Becky Lynch
18:58
Speaker 3: and Charlotte Flair come back, a few TNA people. I
19:02
Speaker 3: think Joe Hendry is gonna be in the Royal Rumble.
19:04
Speaker 3: Maybe Dol Ziggler that that'd be cool to hear his
19:08
Speaker 3: music hit again. Uh So, I think we just see
19:11
Speaker 3: a lot of crazy surprises in the Royal Rumble this year.
19:15
Speaker 3: They haven't announced as many people. We'll see tonight on SmackDown.
19:18
Speaker 3: Maybe they'll add some more. But uh so, let's move
19:23
Speaker 3: on to NCAA football and it's over. It's officially done.
19:27
Speaker 3: Ohio State Buckeyes are the national champions. The Big Ten
19:31
Speaker 3: has won it three years in a row. Michigan won
19:34
Speaker 3: a two and then now Ohio State. So yeah, I
19:41
Speaker 3: mean it was a good game. I really was excited
19:45
Speaker 3: to see Notre Dames start coming back in that game.
19:50
Speaker 3: I thought that I didn't want a big blowout, so yeah,
19:54
Speaker 3: I was excited. I'm very very happy for Ohi State though,
20:00
Speaker 3: even though I am a oh Man. CHSN is live
20:09
Speaker 3: they said invite them to be a guest. Maybe we
20:12
Speaker 3: should talk some Bears football. But yeah, so no, that's great.
20:15
Speaker 3: I'm excited and I'm very very excited for Ohio State
20:21
Speaker 3: to win that game. I wasn't going for Notre Dame,
20:24
Speaker 3: but I think Ohio State was just a better team
20:26
Speaker 3: and that's why they won. All right, So let's move
20:29
Speaker 3: on to some college basketball. Let's see the top twenty
20:33
Speaker 3: five for that top twenty five college basketball alright, So
20:42
Speaker 3: just like we do every single week, let's see where
20:46
Speaker 3: everybody ranks. Okay, so number twenty five is Louisville at
20:51
Speaker 3: fourteen and five. Number twenty four is Memphis at fourteen
