- 1:22Speaker 3: Okay, I want to get to.
- 1:25Speaker 2: The top five quarterbacks that would benefit the most from
- 1:30Speaker 2: winning a Super Bowl ring this season. And it's a
- 1:33Speaker 2: doozy of a list. That's a it's a tough thing
- 1:35Speaker 2: to put together. Really, I put a lot of thought
- 1:38Speaker 2: into it. I'm gonna share that with you right around
- 1:40Speaker 2: the corner. But I saw a tweet that caught my
- 1:42Speaker 2: attention and I just wanted to share it with you. Okay, Now,
- 1:47Speaker 2: if you were watching Monday night football, or if you
- 1:50Speaker 2: just caught the highlights, that's good enough. At the end
- 1:54Speaker 2: of the game, the Rams are trying to get in
- 1:56Speaker 2: field goal range to tie the game. They weren't able
- 1:59Speaker 2: to do so they lost to the Falcons. Okay, but
- 2:03Speaker 2: Poka Nakua. It's third down. Rams are out their own
- 2:07Speaker 2: thirty five only ten seconds left. Matthew Stafford has to
- 2:10Speaker 2: throw the ball deep down the field and get out
- 2:13Speaker 2: of bounds. Receiver has to catch it get out of bounce.
- 2:16Speaker 2: They can maybe kick a field goal so that's exactly
- 2:18Speaker 2: what happened. Stafford threw a beautiful pass to Poka Nakua.
- 2:22Speaker 2: Looked like he made a sensational catch, dragged his feet,
- 2:27Speaker 2: stuck his left hand out there, just grabbed the ball.
- 2:30Speaker 2: Looked like a brilliant one handed catch. But the replay
- 2:34Speaker 2: showed it was not. The cornerback aj Terrell. Great play
- 2:39Speaker 2: by him. He was just pulling on Puka's arm and
- 2:43Speaker 2: doing that forced the ball to be out of Puka's
- 2:48Speaker 2: control for just a millisecond, like he just lost control
- 2:52Speaker 2: of the ball. His feet weren't in bounds. It's not
- 2:55Speaker 2: a catch. It would have it was like this close.
- 2:58Speaker 2: You can't see my fingers, but my thumb and index
- 3:01Speaker 2: finger they're real close. That's close right to being a
- 3:04Speaker 2: brilliant catch.
- 3:06Speaker 3: But it wasn't. He lost control of the ball. I
- 3:08Speaker 3: saw this tweet.
- 3:11Speaker 2: I don't know this guy, John Ursella, and he just
- 3:15Speaker 2: tweeted this. It's I'm just gonna read it to you
- 3:18Speaker 2: and then I'll tell you what I think. I think
- 3:20Speaker 2: you probably already know what I think. If this isn't
- 3:23Speaker 2: a catch, just cancel the sport of football. No one
- 3:28Speaker 2: knows what a catch is.
- 3:29Speaker 3: Anymore.
- 3:30Speaker 2: Insane effort by Poka Nakua, unbelievable coordination and hand eye
- 3:36Speaker 2: I see enough control and I see toes.
- 3:40Speaker 3: Dragging game on the line. It's a catch.
- 3:43Speaker 4: For me.
- 3:45Speaker 2: This is the dumbest tweet I've read in a long time.
- 3:50Speaker 2: It's like, dude, this idea. Granted, there are some catches
- 3:54Speaker 2: where you're like, okay, he had two feet down, now
- 3:58Speaker 2: he's got to make a football move, and it's like,
- 4:00Speaker 2: what is a football move?
- 4:03Speaker 3: Was this enough? Does it mean a third step?
- 4:06Speaker 2: Or I get that there's some times where you're like,
- 4:10Speaker 2: is that I don't know if that's a catch or
- 4:12Speaker 2: they're going to rule it a catch or but we
- 4:15Speaker 2: know this much.
- 4:17Speaker 3: If you're like Pukin.
- 4:18Speaker 2: Nakua and you're along the sideline, you drag your feet,
- 4:22Speaker 2: you have possession of the football. Then for a little bit,
- 4:26Speaker 2: you lose possession of the football, your feet are no
- 4:29Speaker 2: longer in bounds. Textbook, not a catch. I don't care
- 4:35Speaker 2: that it was an insane effort, which it was. I
- 4:38Speaker 2: don't care that it was great hand eye coordination, which
- 4:42Speaker 2: it was. I don't care that the game was on
- 4:44Speaker 2: the line that uh, you know, the toes were dragon
- 4:48Speaker 2: it's not a catch. I don't care that you want
- 4:52Speaker 2: it to be.
- 4:52Speaker 3: It's not a catch. I wanted it to be a catch,
- 4:55Speaker 3: but he lost control. It's not a catch.
- 4:58Speaker 2: Like, stop rooting for things and be objective. My gosh,
- 5:02Speaker 2: like this idea, we don't know what it catches. I'll
- 5:05Speaker 2: tell you what a catch isn't. It's like losing control
- 5:09Speaker 2: of the ball when your feet are no longer in
- 5:11Speaker 2: bounds and not completing the catch. That's what a catch isn't.
- 5:17Speaker 2: And that's exactly what happened with pukin Nakua. So spare
- 5:20Speaker 2: me the tears on. Oh, it's a catch for me.
- 5:22Speaker 2: That's terrible tweet, terrible tweet. I don't know who that
- 5:25Speaker 2: guy is, but you gotta do better than that, all right.
- 5:27Speaker 2: So some people might be saying that about me. Here
- 5:31Speaker 2: when I unveil a list, I know Ben is anti list.
- 5:35Speaker 2: He thinks it's lazy. I don't rely on lists. I
- 5:38Speaker 2: don't bust out lists left and right. But every now
- 5:41Speaker 2: and then I'll start thinking of something. I'm like, you
- 5:44Speaker 2: know what, I didn't mean for it to be this way,
- 5:46Speaker 2: but this would actually be a really good list. I
- 5:49Speaker 2: was thinking about the quarterbacks that are left that look
- 5:53Speaker 2: to be in the playoffs, and we don't know. We
- 5:55Speaker 2: don't have our playoff field set just yet. We don't
- 5:57Speaker 2: know if it's going to be the Steelers or the
- 6:00Speaker 2: We don't know if it's going to be the Panthers
- 6:02Speaker 2: or Tampa Bay. We don't know that yet. We'll find
- 6:04Speaker 2: out by Sunday. But based on who we think is
- 6:10Speaker 2: going to be in what the quarterbacks? And we know
- 6:13Speaker 2: what twelve of the fourteen already, there's just a couple
- 6:17Speaker 2: of spots we don't know yet of the quarterbacks that
- 6:20Speaker 2: are going to be in the playoffs. Who are the
- 6:23Speaker 2: top five quarterbacks that would benefit the most from winning
- 6:28Speaker 2: a super Bowl? And now let me just say this,
- 6:31Speaker 2: because I'm gonna throw out my list and it's going
- 6:34Speaker 2: to turn into, well what about this guy? What about
- 6:36Speaker 2: that guy? It's everybody. Every quarterback that's going to be
- 6:42Speaker 2: in the playoffs. Each one of them could benefit greatly,
- 6:47Speaker 2: would benefit greatly from winning a super Bowl, every single one.
- 6:51Speaker 2: So you're gonna hear my top five, and just make
- 6:53Speaker 2: sure you understand that I am fully aware that anyone
- 6:57Speaker 2: winning a super Bowl it would be a big deal
- 7:00Speaker 2: for them. Now I'm trying to find the top five,
- 7:03Speaker 2: like the biggest of big deals, right, who doesn't mean
- 7:07Speaker 2: the most four because Aaron Rodgers, it would meet a ton,
- 7:12Speaker 2: it'd be a second Super Bowl ring, it'd be another
- 7:15Speaker 2: ring with another franchise, to be huge for Rogers. But
- 7:18Speaker 2: he doesn't crack my top five. He's already got a ring.
- 7:21Speaker 2: He's already an all time you know talent. He's on
- 7:26Speaker 2: the short list of all time great quarterbacks in NFL
- 7:29Speaker 2: history already with the one ring. Matthew Stafford winning another
- 7:33Speaker 2: ring that'd be a huge deal for him, So.
- 7:36Speaker 3: You could go with these guys.
- 7:37Speaker 2: He didn't crack my list though he's already got a ring,
- 7:40Speaker 2: and we already think very, very highly of Matthew Stafford.
- 7:44Speaker 3: So my list is it's all quarterbacks who haven't.
- 7:47Speaker 2: Won a ring yet who would benefit the most from
- 7:51Speaker 2: winning one this season. So I look at this and
- 7:54Speaker 2: the first thing I will say is Lamar Jackson is
- 7:56Speaker 2: not on my list, and not because I don't think
- 7:59Speaker 2: he would benefit a great deal.
- 8:01Speaker 3: He would benefit a ton.
- 8:04Speaker 2: Like what we say about Lamar is he's been great
- 8:08Speaker 2: in the regular season, outstanding what a talent. Two time
- 8:11Speaker 2: MVP arguably should have been a three time MVP, but
- 8:15Speaker 2: man in the playoffs, he wets himself time and time
- 8:17Speaker 2: and time again. He does not have a good record
- 8:20Speaker 2: in the playoffs, he does not have good individual numbers
- 8:23Speaker 2: in the playoffs, and he leaves a lot to be
- 8:26Speaker 2: desired when he's in the playoffs.
- 8:28Speaker 3: If he won a Super.
- 8:29Speaker 2: Bowl, ring that would change a ton of the narratives.
- 8:33Speaker 2: It would mean a ton to Lamar to win a
- 8:37Speaker 2: Super Bowl. But the reason I don't have him on
- 8:40Speaker 2: my top five the Ravens. They might not even make
- 8:45Speaker 2: the playoffs, and if they do, they're going nowhere right
- 8:49Speaker 2: Like we know this, okay, So I just can't get
- 8:52Speaker 2: beyond the logical part of this, where it's like the Ravens, dude.
- 8:58Speaker 3: That they're not going in anywhere.
- 9:01Speaker 2: They've had a lackluster defense, They've had significant injuries. Lamar
- 9:06Speaker 2: isn't close to himself right now. He's dealt with the
- 9:09Speaker 2: injuries he's had the hammy and the knee and the
- 9:12Speaker 2: calf and the ankle, and he went three games in
- 9:16Speaker 2: a row without accounting for any touchdowns. Like, he's not
- 9:20Speaker 2: close to the same guy right now. They have no
- 9:22Speaker 2: chance to win a Super Bowl. So I just can't
- 9:26Speaker 2: wrap my mind around what a super Bowl would mean
- 9:29Speaker 2: for Lamar when they just have no chance to win
- 9:32Speaker 2: a super Bowl this season. So it's more so that
- 9:34Speaker 2: than anything. So the five quarterbacks that I have on
- 9:37Speaker 2: my list that could benefit the most from winning a
- 9:39Speaker 2: super Bowl, number five I would go with Justin Herbert.
- 9:43Speaker 3: Justin Herbert has been a really good NFL quarterback.
- 9:47Speaker 2: He has no playoff wins, and there are a lot
- 9:50Speaker 2: of people that say that and throw it in his
- 9:54Speaker 2: face that were the playoff wins? Where are they? I
- 9:57Speaker 2: would look at the first playoff game against Trevor Lalawrence
- 10:00Speaker 2: and Jacksonville.
- 10:02Speaker 3: Justin Herbert played really well.
- 10:03Speaker 2: They had a huge lead, and the lead went bye bye,
- 10:07Speaker 2: and they lost in very embarrassing fashion to Jacksonville. That's
- 10:11Speaker 2: more on the Chargers defense than anything. I don't know
- 10:14Speaker 2: why Herbert took such a tongue lashing for the like,
- 10:17Speaker 2: not from his coach or any It was like from fans,
- 10:21Speaker 2: from listeners, from people out there just like, oh, Justin Herbert,
- 10:25Speaker 2: It's like, play some freaking defense man. That's not a
- 10:27Speaker 2: Justin Herbert thing. That's a lack of defense. That's a
- 10:30Speaker 2: lack of closing the deal, but he took He took
- 10:34Speaker 2: a big hit, fair or not. He took a lot
- 10:38Speaker 2: of criticism for not getting that win. And then last
- 10:42Speaker 2: year fully should be criticized through four interceptions against Houston.
- 10:46Speaker 2: So I don't give him the benefit of the doubt
- 10:48Speaker 2: obviously for that performance. But if he were able to
- 10:51Speaker 2: win a super Bowl this season, think about that. He's
- 10:55Speaker 2: got a broken hand, had surgery on it, not missing
- 10:58Speaker 2: any time, not only gets his first playoff win, but
- 11:03Speaker 2: he stacks win on top of win on top of win.
- 11:05Speaker 2: He has a magic carpet, right he wins it all
- 11:08Speaker 2: that would mean a ton for him. It would silence
- 11:11Speaker 2: a lot of the critics that are saying, where's the
- 11:13Speaker 2: playoff success?
- 11:14Speaker 3: Where where is it?
- 11:15Speaker 2: Another guy a little higher on my list would be
- 11:18Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence. Trevor Lawrence, nobody says anything positive about the
- 11:23Speaker 2: guy in the regular season. You know, at least people
- 11:25Speaker 2: say things positively about Herbert in the regular season, they'll
- 11:29Speaker 2: say that about Trevor Lawrence. Trevor Lawrence is just like
- 11:32Speaker 2: this freaking guy. We thought he was going to be
- 11:34Speaker 2: the truth in the NFL. He had some really good
- 11:37Speaker 2: college success. Look to have all the tools, and he
- 11:40Speaker 2: just hasn't put it together. And if he's able to
- 11:43Speaker 2: win a ring, that would mean a ton for him,
- 11:46Speaker 2: especially in Jacksonville. Though I would have him number four
- 11:49Speaker 2: on my list, number three, I'd go Donald. Donald would
- 11:54Speaker 2: obviously greatly benefit from winning a ring. He's zero to
- 11:58Speaker 2: one in the playoffs and he's mostly looked at as
- 12:03Speaker 2: just it's like a collective eye roll, you know when
- 12:06Speaker 2: you think about Donald, and hey, who's gonna merge from
- 12:09Speaker 2: the NFC, and it's like Donald Man, Like the one
- 12:14Speaker 2: playoff game he's had, he lost to the Rams and
- 12:18Speaker 2: he got sacked nine times. I didn't have a bet
- 12:24Speaker 2: on the game. I didn't have a dog in the
- 12:26Speaker 2: fight at nothing. And I'm watching the game and I'm
- 12:28Speaker 2: just yelling, like throw the ball, man, Like what are
- 12:33Speaker 2: you doing?
- 12:34Speaker 3: Throw it? Throw it away, don't get sacked for a
- 12:37Speaker 3: loss of ten yards.
- 12:38Speaker 2: Just throw it, throw it at the feet of a
- 12:42Speaker 2: covered guy and just save the yardage, man, Like.
- 12:45Speaker 3: What are you doing?
- 12:47Speaker 2: So everything we've said about Donald, everything we've thought about Donald,
- 12:51Speaker 2: would be completely flipped if he's able to win it all.
- 12:55Speaker 2: And listen, Seattle's got a shot. They've got a real defense,
- 12:59Speaker 2: They've got a real number one wide receiver in Jackson
- 13:01Speaker 2: Smith and Jigba. If Sam Donald is all of a
- 13:04Speaker 2: sudden playing sound football, not turning it over, yeah, like productive,
- 13:10Speaker 2: they absolutely have a shot to win it all. And
- 13:13Speaker 2: if he's able to do that, we're clowning, you know,
- 13:16Speaker 2: the Jets version of Sam Donald.
- 13:18Speaker 3: I'm seeing ghosts. I'm seeing ghosts. That's what he's known for.
- 13:21Speaker 2: He's known for seeing ghosts and choking in big moments.
- 13:25Speaker 2: That's his brand. His brand recognition is choking and coming
- 13:29Speaker 2: up small on the big stage. And if he completely
- 13:33Speaker 2: flips that, that would be massive for him. Number two
- 13:37Speaker 2: on my list what a super Bowl would mean a
- 13:41Speaker 2: great deal for brock Purty. I put brock Purty number
- 13:46Speaker 2: two because listen, brock Purty is a good quarterback and
- 13:51Speaker 2: he's known as mister irrelevant last pick of the draft.
- 13:55Speaker 2: And like people like me, I've been critical of Rock
- 14:00Speaker 2: Party throughout the years because I just I don't understand
- 14:05Speaker 2: the level of people just rushing to his defense. Like
- 14:10Speaker 2: people act like you're saying something far worse about brock
- 14:13Speaker 2: Purty than you actually are. Right, I've never said brock
- 14:16Speaker 2: Purty sucks. He's no good. This guy's a hack. I
- 14:19Speaker 2: don't even know why he's in the NFL. He shouldn't
- 14:21Speaker 2: get paid a penny. I've never said any of those things,
- 14:24Speaker 2: none of them. I'm just like, he's good. He's just
- 14:27Speaker 2: not great.
- 14:28Speaker 3: He's good. He's just not worth the contract that they
- 14:30Speaker 3: gave him.
- 14:31Speaker 2: He's good, he's just not a difference maker, meaning when
- 14:34Speaker 2: they have to skimp on the roster, he can just
- 14:36Speaker 2: take them to the promised Land. He's not on that level.
- 14:40Speaker 2: That's what I've said about brock Purty the whole time.
- 14:42Speaker 2: But there are a lot of people like me. It's
- 14:46Speaker 2: like two sides is like Braveheart over here. It's the
- 14:48Speaker 2: people like me and the people that are like just
- 14:52Speaker 2: coming at my jugular for saying anything halfway critical about
- 14:56Speaker 2: brock Purty.
- 14:57Speaker 3: Like this guy, he's amazing. This guy, what do you
- 14:59Speaker 3: mean he's a It's like, oh my gosh. But for
- 15:01Speaker 3: the people like me that have been critical of brock perty.
- 15:05Speaker 2: If he won it all this season, he won a
- 15:07Speaker 2: super Bowl, he would have to play well. He's a
- 15:10Speaker 2: difference maker. He's making plays on the biggest of stages.
- 15:14Speaker 2: People like me would.
- 15:15Speaker 3: Have to go.
- 15:16Speaker 2: We just have to shut up and take the l right,
- 15:20Speaker 2: that's what would have to happen. So for brock Purty
- 15:23Speaker 2: to go from last pick of the draft contract extension,
- 15:27Speaker 2: a lot of people saying he's not worth that contract extension.
- 15:31Speaker 2: He doesn't have the goods, he's not elite, he's not great,
- 15:34Speaker 2: he's just good. To win it all, man, he would
- 15:37Speaker 2: silence a ton of people. That would mean a great
- 15:40Speaker 2: deal for him to win it all. And number one
- 15:42Speaker 2: on my list the top five players that would benefit
- 15:45Speaker 2: the most from winning a Super Bowl this season, Josh Allen.
- 15:51Speaker 2: That's right, I have the Bills quarterback Josh Allen number one,
- 15:55Speaker 2: and listen, he has been fantastic, Like he was rough
- 15:59Speaker 2: his first two years, inaccurate. I'm blown away how great
- 16:03Speaker 2: of a quarterback he's turned into. And I'm also blown
- 16:07Speaker 2: away how he's turned into this great quarterback and then
- 16:10Speaker 2: messed up a throw against the Eagles, Who's got a
- 16:14Speaker 2: wide open guy for a two point conversion and a
- 16:16Speaker 2: win That was stunning. He's turned into one of the
- 16:19Speaker 2: more accurate quarterbacks in the NFL. He's fantastic. But what
- 16:23Speaker 2: it would mean for Josh Allen to win a Super
- 16:25Speaker 2: Bowl one, he would obviously he would come into he
- 16:30Speaker 2: would you go into a different tax bracket. He would
- 16:33Speaker 2: all of a sudden be among elite quarterbacks, not just now,
- 16:37Speaker 2: but in the history of the NFL. Now he's starting
- 16:40Speaker 2: to he's starting to enter territory of Okay, he's stacks
- 16:45Speaker 2: five ten more years of great success and maybe builds
- 16:49Speaker 2: upon the one super Bowl ring. Now we're talking about
- 16:52Speaker 2: all time greatness for Josh Allen. We're also talking about
- 16:57Speaker 2: him winning a Super Bowl. The Buffalo Bills who have
- 17:03Speaker 2: just been known for coming up short, not having the
- 17:06Speaker 2: clutch gene, disappointment after disappointment after disappointment, you talk about
- 17:12Speaker 2: being knighted for eternity in the Buffalo community.
- 17:16Speaker 3: It would be winning a super Bowl and Josh Allen
- 17:20Speaker 3: doing that.
- 17:20Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, it would mean massive amounts for the
- 17:24Speaker 2: guy because he's been great in the regular season at times,
- 17:27Speaker 2: he's been great in the postseason, but he's come up
- 17:30Speaker 2: short every time, at least his teams have.
- 17:33Speaker 3: And if he's able to get.
- 17:35Speaker 2: Them over the hump, and man, we go back to
- 17:38Speaker 2: the four straight Super Bowl losses, all the pain, all
- 17:41Speaker 2: the heartache, all of that stuff, he's able to come through,
- 17:45Speaker 2: Oh man, it'd be massive for him, not just now
- 17:48Speaker 2: in the NFL.
- 17:50Speaker 3: I think about if he.
- 17:50Speaker 2: Wins it All this season and his game's next season
- 17:53Speaker 2: being promoted. You know, it's a Super Bowl champion Josh
- 17:57Speaker 2: Allen against Super Bowl champion Patrick Mahone.
- 18:00Speaker 3: Check it out week sick man like be huge.
- 18:03Speaker 2: It'd be huge for the NFL. That's the other thing.
- 18:06Speaker 2: Ask yourself who would benefit the NFL the most if
- 18:12Speaker 2: they were to win a championship.
- 18:14Speaker 3: I think it's Josh Allen.
- 18:16Speaker 2: Absolutely, You're able to promote all of these like marquee
- 18:20Speaker 2: matchups going forward. He's already an MVP. He's already one
- 18:25Speaker 2: of the best quarterbacks in the league. Some people think,
- 18:28Speaker 2: based on Mahomes taking a step back, that Josh Allen
- 18:31Speaker 2: is past Mahomes. There are a lot of people who
- 18:33Speaker 2: think that if he's able to add a Super Bowl
- 18:36Speaker 2: to that, man, now you're cooking with grease. So I
- 18:39Speaker 2: think the NFL would benefit the most if Josh Allen
- 18:43Speaker 2: won it All, and so I'd have.
- 18:45Speaker 3: Him number one on my list.
- 18:47Speaker 2: Again, everybody can benefit everybody would It would change a
- 18:52Speaker 2: lot of things for a lot of quarterbacks, you know,
- 18:55Speaker 2: Bo Knicks, coopskuy It'd be a big deal, be a
- 18:59Speaker 2: big deal for everybody. It'd be a big deal for
- 19:02Speaker 2: Caleb Williams to win a ring with all the criticism
- 19:05Speaker 2: he took as a rookie, and then the very next
- 19:07Speaker 2: year he wins it all. W Jalen Hurts wins another ring.
- 19:12Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, big Jordan Love wins one. Think about
- 19:16Speaker 2: all these Packer quarterbacks, how decorated they are. He's the
- 19:19Speaker 2: next one in line to not only be really good,
- 19:22Speaker 2: but to win a ring. That'd be a big deal
- 19:25Speaker 2: for him individually, so he'd be big for everyone. But
- 19:28Speaker 2: that's my top five. I'd go Herbert fifth, Trevor Lawrence fourth,
- 19:33Speaker 2: Darnald third, Brock Purty second, Josh Allen number one.
- 19:38Speaker 3: That's my list. Do you have any thoughts on that?
- 19:40Speaker 2: Feel free to check in eight seven, seven ninety nine

- 21:35Speaker 2: count Down to Kickoff presented by BETMGM. I'm just used
- 21:39Speaker 2: to saying that on the weekend, So my bad. I
- 21:40Speaker 2: had a little flashback right there. Hey, this show is
- 21:43Speaker 2: sponsored by DraftKings sports book and official sports betting partner

- 21:59Speaker 2: all right, So, man, I give my guy Coop a
- 22:02Speaker 2: lot of credit. I'll get to the the heel of
- 22:06Speaker 2: the NFL as far as coaches here momentarily. But man,
- 22:09Speaker 2: my guy Coop is going through it. He's trying to
- 22:11Speaker 2: get to this Broncos playoffs.
- 22:13Speaker 3: Heck is Justin Cooper.
- 22:15Speaker 2: But Justin Cooper is the fine producer of this this.
- 22:18Speaker 3: Program here, I want a steamer. That's exactly who Justin
- 22:21Speaker 3: Cooper is.
- 22:22Speaker 2: He's a guy who says Reese's pieces and not Rece's pieces,
- 22:27Speaker 2: like I used to say, That's who Justin Cooper is.
- 22:29Speaker 2: You know, he's setting people on the right track. That's
- 22:31Speaker 2: that's what Justin Cooper does.
- 22:33Speaker 3: That's who he is.
- 22:34Speaker 2: But he's looking forward to seeing his Broncos play in
- 22:37Speaker 2: the NFL playoffs and sou they're either playing wild card
- 22:42Speaker 2: weekend or the divisional round. Looks like they're going to
- 22:45Speaker 2: get a buy and they're not gonna be playing the
- 22:48Speaker 2: first weekend, so it would be there the second weekend.
- 22:51Speaker 2: And so Coop is trying all every which way to
- 22:55Speaker 2: find a ticket. It's a there are good seats, We're
- 22:59Speaker 2: gonna have great view of the game. And you know
- 23:02Speaker 2: he doesn't have to dip into his four oh one
- 23:04Speaker 2: K for the whole value of the ticket, you know
- 23:08Speaker 2: what I mean, Like these tickets are expensive and sol
- 23:10Speaker 2: He's tried all this stuff, and so what's the latest
- 23:13Speaker 2: version here, Coop, where we're buying single tickets and we're
- 23:17Speaker 2: trying to make a savvy move here to save a
- 23:20Speaker 2: couple of ducats if you will, right, what's going on here?
- 23:23Speaker 3: Well?
- 23:23Speaker 6: Yeah, so all of these standard face value tickets, there
- 23:27Speaker 6: are no pairs of tickets left, but there are some
- 23:31Speaker 6: seats that are in the same row, individual seats in
- 23:35Speaker 6: the same row, but you know, there's people in between them,
- 23:39Speaker 6: and I'm wondering, you know, what my chance of success
- 23:42Speaker 6: would be of asking everybody to just slide over one
- 23:48Speaker 6: seat so that that me and my wife could sit together.
- 23:53Speaker 3: I think there's a good chance. Man, we're talking how
- 23:55Speaker 3: many there are? Eight people?
- 23:58Speaker 2: Is that right between you? Nine people in between you
- 24:00Speaker 2: and your girl? I mean I would I don't.
- 24:04Speaker 3: We're moving. I'm moving over one seat.
- 24:07Speaker 7: That's two out of the seven people between you, guys
- 24:09Speaker 7: that are willing to move.
- 24:11Speaker 2: Yeah, what if you only improve that, you know by
- 24:14Speaker 2: like four people are cool, and you still have five
- 24:17Speaker 2: people in between you and your girl.
- 24:18Speaker 3: You know, I'm so curious how this will go down
- 24:20Speaker 3: beers or something? Yeah, right, yeah, exactly. That's not a
- 24:24Speaker 3: bad move.
- 24:25Speaker 7: Yeah, I thought I thought about that, you know.
- 24:28Speaker 2: So, like roughly, how much would this move save you
- 24:32Speaker 2: in overall money? Getting like two individual tickets compared to
- 24:36Speaker 2: two next to each other.
- 24:38Speaker 7: Like two grand, oh my gosh, to Fiskits.
- 24:43Speaker 2: You can buy a lot of beers, you know, and
- 24:45Speaker 2: you're still coming out way ahead. Yeah, that's a good move.
- 24:49Speaker 2: That's a good idea by Lorena. You know, like you'll say, hey,
- 24:53Speaker 2: I'll get you something. I'll get your free beer, get
- 24:55Speaker 2: you whatever you want at the concession stand. You know,
- 24:58Speaker 2: you move over to your left, you get closer to midfield, right, like,
- 25:02Speaker 2: you get a better view.
- 25:04Speaker 3: Like why not?
- 25:05Speaker 2: I would absolutely move It's just one seat, you know,
- 25:08Speaker 2: it'd be a jerk move to be like, nope, this
- 25:10Speaker 2: is my seat, and I guess you can't sit next
- 25:12Speaker 2: to your girl. And I see what you're doing here,
- 25:15Speaker 2: cheap skate. I see you're just trying to save something. No,
- 25:17Speaker 2: I would move over for you, but I don't know
- 25:21Speaker 2: what do you think are they gonna do it? If
- 25:22Speaker 2: this is the move, are they gonna move for you?
- 25:25Speaker 6: I mean I like it, Like you said I would,
- 25:27Speaker 6: I would do it for for somebody, right, Uh, but
- 25:32Speaker 6: you know, you never you never know who's just uh.
- 25:36Speaker 2: Yeah, dude, you could who knows you could get that
- 25:38Speaker 2: one person, that one couple where we've come to Broncos
- 25:43Speaker 2: games for the last forty years, and these are my seats,
- 25:46Speaker 2: and I've you know, I remember when fill in the
- 25:49Speaker 2: blank happened and I was here for this game in
- 25:52Speaker 2: this seat.
- 25:53Speaker 3: Yeah, you could run into that. Maybe that could happen.
- 25:57Speaker 7: Wow.
- 25:57Speaker 3: Man, so you think you're gonna roll with this is
- 26:00Speaker 3: the move?
- 26:01Speaker 6: It might be I gotta you know, run it by
- 26:04Speaker 6: the wife and see if she wants to take that risk.
- 26:07Speaker 3: Man, you know her pretty well. What do you think
- 26:09Speaker 3: she's gonna say?
- 26:11Speaker 7: You guys take risks all the time. It's one of
- 26:14Speaker 7: your favorite things to do together is take risks. I
- 26:17Speaker 7: think you should do it.
- 26:19Speaker 3: What's like, what's a risk that Coop has taken before? Lorena?
- 26:22Speaker 3: What's what's something on his resume of about poker?
- 26:26Speaker 2: Yeah, well you went all in with Jack eight.
- 26:30Speaker 3: That was the risk the other night.
- 26:32Speaker 7: Like what I think she's just referring to the amount
- 26:34Speaker 7: of money that we risk.
- 26:36Speaker 3: Ah okay, all right, Yeah, I think.
- 26:37Speaker 6: It's worth it in terms of experience and like even
- 26:40Speaker 6: if you do have to sit a few seats away,
- 26:42Speaker 6: like we said, you could still make that fun.
- 26:45Speaker 3: Yeah right, you could just be a jerk about it.
- 26:47Speaker 2: If they're not gonna move, Oh, I would be a yeah, yeah,
- 26:51Speaker 2: could you pass this, uh, these peanuts down to my
- 26:55Speaker 2: wife that is like ten seats away from me.
- 26:58Speaker 7: Halfway through the game, you guys sit by each other
- 27:00Speaker 7: because you're so annoying, I know.
- 27:02Speaker 6: Yeah, And just every time, like every few minutes, say
- 27:05Speaker 6: like oh, excuse me, excuse me, excuse me, walk over there,
- 27:08Speaker 6: and just like say say something, just catter you.
- 27:11Speaker 3: Okay, I know you're alone. You're by yourself right.
- 27:14Speaker 7: Now, okay, good, good? Excuse me, excuse me, excuse me.
- 27:20Speaker 2: Oh dude, I would be I would be obnoxious if
- 27:23Speaker 2: you were just gonna be that fan who's like, no,
- 27:25Speaker 2: I'm not budging.
- 27:27Speaker 3: It's like, okay, all right, game on.
- 27:29Speaker 2: I guess you know, I'm gonna find some ways to
- 27:32Speaker 2: be obnoxious, and it probably won't.
- 27:34Speaker 3: You won't get your way that way at all. You know,
- 27:37Speaker 3: what is it?
- 27:38Speaker 2: You catch more bees with honey, you gotta sweeten the pot.
- 27:41Speaker 2: You got to buy him some beers, get them to
- 27:42Speaker 2: move over. You know my approach, I would just keep talking.
- 27:46Speaker 2: I think that would be the best way. Because if
- 27:49Speaker 2: I'm walking through this, if I'm sitting at a game, okay,
- 27:53Speaker 2: and these are my seats, this is where I'm posted
- 27:55Speaker 2: up for the game and someone just approaches me and
- 27:58Speaker 2: they're like, hey, bro, do you mind sit like moving
- 28:01Speaker 2: down one seat? I just want to sit next to
- 28:03Speaker 2: my girl. My first thought is why, why, why?
- 28:06Speaker 3: Why?
- 28:07Speaker 2: Why am I doing you a favor? Like, what's the point,
- 28:10Speaker 2: what's in it for me? I honestly I would think that,
- 28:14Speaker 2: And then if you give me a little bit of
- 28:16Speaker 2: time to just warm up to the idea, I'd understand.
- 28:19Speaker 2: I'm like, man, I'm sitting in between you and your girl,
- 28:21Speaker 2: and why Like, why would.
- 28:23Speaker 3: I do that? There's really no benefit for me. I'm
- 28:26Speaker 3: just being a jerk here. If you just kept.
- 28:28Speaker 2: Talking to me, I think I would finally get it.
- 28:32Speaker 2: You know, I don't think I would understand it first.
- 28:34Speaker 7: It's good karma.
- 28:36Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you're I think you should just talk until
- 28:39Speaker 2: they say yes.
- 28:40Speaker 6: And it's not like a window seat on a flight,
- 28:42Speaker 6: you know what I'm saying, Like, this is all one
- 28:44Speaker 6: big row of stadium seating.
- 28:46Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess The question is do you approach them
- 28:49Speaker 2: each individually with the same sales pitch or there's this
- 28:53Speaker 2: kuy like a.
- 28:54Speaker 6: You you would imagine that they're not all individuals, that
- 28:57Speaker 6: they're probably groups know at least two, if not more.
- 29:01Speaker 6: So you would just have to get each group to
- 29:04Speaker 6: agree to move down one seat. And so that may
- 29:07Speaker 6: only be three three asks, you know, it.
- 29:11Speaker 2: Could be maybe do you stand in the aisle, you know,
- 29:15Speaker 2: like where the steps are and just say hey, hey,
- 29:18Speaker 2: you guys and you just address all nine of them
- 29:21Speaker 2: at the same time. Like, there's so many different ways
- 29:24Speaker 2: you could approach that. Yeah, wow, I'm curious. You should
- 29:27Speaker 2: video it. You should record this. You know this is
- 29:31Speaker 2: this is something for you know X, this is something
- 29:35Speaker 2: for you got to send it to me. I got
- 29:37Speaker 2: to see how this goes down. Man.
- 29:38Speaker 6: You know, somebody on Twitter said I should play the
- 29:42Speaker 6: do you Know who I Am?
- 29:43Speaker 7: Card? I don't think that'll work.
- 29:46Speaker 2: I mean, that's not bad to have in your back pocket,
- 29:49Speaker 2: you know, like did you see this movie?
- 29:53Speaker 3: Do you know who I Am?
- 29:59Speaker 4: It is?
- 30:00Speaker 3: It is?
- 30:00Speaker 2: But man's that's not a bad last resort in case
- 30:04Speaker 2: of emergency break glass type move.
- 30:07Speaker 3: You know, at least you have a card to play.
- 30:11Speaker 6: Yeah, I'll just bring like multiple copies of Liar Liar
- 30:15Speaker 6: and sign them.
- 30:18Speaker 2: I think beer is your ticket, man, Yeah, get there drinkers, Like, hey, man,
- 30:22Speaker 2: I'll buy you a beer.
- 30:23Speaker 3: It's it's free. It's a free beer for you to move.
- 30:27Speaker 2: One seat, Like why wouldn't you, you know, like, I'm
- 30:31Speaker 2: just trying to sit next to my girl, that's all
- 30:33Speaker 2: I'm for the Broncos. I'm wearing my overrated bow Nicks jersey,
- 30:37Speaker 2: you know, like, come on, I'm in this sh.
- 30:41Speaker 3: Maybe, yeah, I get it. You wouldn't say overrated. You
- 30:44Speaker 3: would say total fools gold if.
- 30:46Speaker 2: You're being very accurate. But now I'm just being a
- 30:49Speaker 2: jerk right now, I'm sorry. I take everything back. Who
- 30:51Speaker 2: it's from, your notre dame cheap shot from earlier.
- 30:53Speaker 6: Only quarterback in history, twenty plus wins, seventy five hundred yards,
- 30:58Speaker 6: fifty touchdowns, only one only in the first two years.
- 31:04Speaker 3: Only one.
- 31:05Speaker 2: Okay, can we go through these wins a little bit?
- 31:08Speaker 2: Can we do that for a second, Like the obnoxious
- 31:11Speaker 2: win by from against the Giants. The Giants are missing kicks,
- 31:17Speaker 2: the darts, throwing an obnoxious interception like that that was
- 31:20Speaker 2: a miracle comeback, you know, like.
- 31:23Speaker 3: That's I don't know, man, It's like the wins.
- 31:26Speaker 2: Like the goal is to win, I get it, But
- 31:30Speaker 2: some of these wins, man, it's just like, dude, you're
- 31:36Speaker 2: beating the Jets thirteen to eleven.
- 31:39Speaker 3: You know what I mean.
- 31:39Speaker 2: You're beating the Texans after you knocked out C. J.
- 31:42Speaker 2: Stroud with a late hit. You know, it's like you're
- 31:46Speaker 2: beating the Raiders ten to seven at home.
- 31:48Speaker 3: You know what I mean. Like, if you look closer
- 31:50Speaker 3: at the wins.
- 31:51Speaker 6: You can do that with every team, and and but
- 31:53Speaker 6: you can you can point to bad losses for all
- 31:59Speaker 6: the comp editors in the playoffs.
- 32:02Speaker 2: I can't point to that many luck wins or just
- 32:06Speaker 2: playing down to your competition type points.
- 32:09Speaker 3: Who's the who's the team, who's that?
- 32:11Speaker 2: Who's the team that has Hey we beat we beat
- 32:15Speaker 2: the Jets by two points in London. Hey we beat
- 32:19Speaker 2: the Texans minus their quarterback by three points.
- 32:21Speaker 3: We beat the Raiders by three talk.
- 32:24Speaker 7: About but what about the losses? Brian. You're criticizing the wins,
- 32:29Speaker 7: but the fact that are that they're wins.
- 32:31Speaker 2: I'm talking because you brought up the wins. You brought
- 32:34Speaker 2: up the stats that circles the wins. That's why I'm
- 32:37Speaker 2: focused on the wins. Sure, but the fact is nobody
- 32:40Speaker 2: else has done it. So you can go throughout the
- 32:43Speaker 2: course of NFL history, and I'm sure you can find
- 32:47Speaker 2: plenty of you know, lucky wins, but yet still nobody
- 32:52Speaker 2: has those stats.
- 32:57Speaker 3: Okay, I mean, I guess what's that? What he's excited
- 33:02Speaker 3: over here?
- 33:02Speaker 1: He is.
- 33:06Speaker 3: Probably yelling, isn't he?
- 33:07Speaker 7: Yes, he's aggressive.
- 33:09Speaker 3: Call h him down with some Reese's pieces, would you?
- 33:12Speaker 7: She finished them hours ago?
- 33:14Speaker 3: It's over with, it's done.
- 33:17Speaker 2: You know what, I'm gonna go from your your your your,
- 33:22Speaker 2: your savior quarterback if you will there, Coop, And I'm
- 33:24Speaker 2: going to talk about another one, my guy, Trucker Nav.
- 33:27Speaker 2: He's in so cal he wants to talk about one
- 33:30Speaker 2: brock Party and I'm curious what this is about?
- 33:33Speaker 3: What's going on? Trucker Nav?
- 33:35Speaker 1: Hey, Brian, always a pleasure talking to you.
- 33:38Speaker 3: Thank you, Bud. Good to hear from you.
- 33:41Speaker 1: Thank you. So anyway, uh, let me just mention this
- 33:45Speaker 1: real quick that in the five biggest games of Doc
- 33:49Speaker 1: Prescott's career, he's lost Jimmy G. Sam Howell, mister irrelevant
- 34:00Speaker 1: McGregor this year against the Vikings. Oh yeah, and Jordan
- 34:05Speaker 1: Love in a playoff bashing couple of years ago. Right,
- 34:10Speaker 1: so back, according to you, brock Party is not worth
- 34:15Speaker 1: all that money, but he's got his team at least
- 34:17Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl. If you go back the last
- 34:19Speaker 1: ten years, I'm pretty sure Dak Prescott's always had a
- 34:23Speaker 1: pretty good offensive line. He's always had weapons, including a
- 34:27Speaker 1: few Hall of famers. He's always had a pretty good defense,
- 34:30Speaker 1: and actually the defense even got better this year after
- 34:33Speaker 1: they made their trades or the linebacker and the Quinn Williams.
- 34:39Speaker 1: But you know, but everybody always coddles him, makes excuses
- 34:44Speaker 1: about him. So what do you say, I mean, if
- 34:48Speaker 1: Dak Prescott was going to be in the playoffs, would
- 34:50Speaker 1: you have him on that top five list? And how
- 34:53Speaker 1: do you compare him to a brock party because you
- 34:55Speaker 1: said he's not worth the money, But this guy's making
- 34:58Speaker 1: sixty million. What's he ever want?
- 35:01Speaker 2: Well, listen, I hear you, Trucker nev And this is
- 35:04Speaker 2: the way I would say it, right, Like if this
- 35:07Speaker 2: is a way to make an argument for Brock Purty
- 35:10Speaker 2: and saying like he's better than Dak Prescott or whatever.
- 35:14Speaker 3: He's a I don't know he's been he's been more consent.
- 35:19Speaker 2: But that's what I'm saying, is no one's saying that
- 35:21Speaker 2: Dak Prescott is top five or this unbelievable court.
- 35:25Speaker 3: Nobody says that.
- 35:26Speaker 2: So the thing to me is it's not a good
- 35:29Speaker 2: way to make your argument for brock Purty saying he's
- 35:32Speaker 2: better than Dak Prescott, right, Like that would be like
- 35:36Speaker 2: a girl saying, hey, I'm a supermodel and I'm better
- 35:40Speaker 2: looking than a girl that's like a five. Like that's
- 35:43Speaker 2: that's not a good way to go about making your
- 35:45Speaker 2: argument that you're a supermodel, you know what I mean. Like,
- 35:48Speaker 2: you don't say brock Purty is legit and one of
- 35:51Speaker 2: the top guys because he's better than Dak. You would
- 35:54Speaker 2: say he's legit and one of the top guys because
- 35:57Speaker 2: you can make some argument that he's better than the
- 35:59Speaker 2: top guys.
- 36:01Speaker 3: Like you can't make that argument.
- 36:02Speaker 2: So that to me shows you where doc where brock
- 36:05Speaker 2: Purty is. If you're comparing him to Dak, it's like
- 36:08Speaker 2: bro like that doesn't show that he's elite at all.
- 36:12Speaker 1: No, I'm not saying I'm comparing it, but I'm just
- 36:14Speaker 1: saying that at least he's got his team to a
- 36:16Speaker 1: super Bowl.
- 36:19Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, he's also he's had a defense, Like
- 36:23Speaker 2: it's a team sport, you know, like Dak has put
- 36:26Speaker 2: up some great numbers.
- 36:28Speaker 1: Yeah, but uh, you know because this year Brock party
- 36:33Speaker 1: he's basically you know, I know he hasn't played all
- 36:35Speaker 1: the games, but when he has played, he has carried
- 36:38Speaker 1: that team on his on his show, on his back
- 36:41Speaker 1: the defense and not the forty nine defense that we've
- 36:44Speaker 1: always known. You know.
- 36:45Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I hear you, and listen. I appreciate you
- 36:48Speaker 2: checking in. It's crazy because with brock Purty, it was wild.
- 36:52Speaker 2: Just a couple of weeks ago. He was playing against
- 36:54Speaker 2: the Titans, remember when when the Niners hosted the Titans,
- 36:57Speaker 2: and it stood out to me because cam a rookie
- 37:01Speaker 2: quarterback at the time, he had nine touchdown passes seven interceptions,
- 37:06Speaker 2: and that's exactly what brock perty had at that time,
- 37:09Speaker 2: nine touchdown seven interceptions. It was also what Marcus Mariota
- 37:13Speaker 2: had at that time, exactly the same nine touchdown passes,
- 37:17Speaker 2: seven interceptions. That's just one thing to look at. There
- 37:20Speaker 2: are many things you could look at and dissect, but
- 37:22Speaker 2: the point is at that time brock Purty was on
- 37:26Speaker 2: the same block as rookie cam Ward and backup quarterback
- 37:31Speaker 2: Marcus Mariota. And since then, brock Purty has been fantastic.
- 37:36Speaker 2: He's fantastic against the Colts don't have a good defense,
- 37:39Speaker 2: and against the Bears don't have a good defense. Okay,
- 37:42Speaker 2: And if you want to get giddy about that, great,
- 37:44Speaker 2: knock yourself out. He's played great the last two weeks
- 37:47Speaker 2: in particular. But I don't know, man, I just when
- 37:52Speaker 2: your shoulder to shoulder with those guys, a rookie and Mariota,
- 37:56Speaker 2: I don't know that two outstanding performances granted against defenses,
- 38:01Speaker 2: if that's enough to swing it, I don't know. All right,
- 38:03Speaker 2: we got to hear from a Malard militia regular right
- 38:05Speaker 2: around the corner.

- 38:56Speaker 2: at Tyreek Hill with the deuces the he's done that,
