• 0:32
  Speaker 1: It's all over now, put a fork in it, take
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: it out of the oven, and our lead from Italy
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: where if you're addicted to watching the Olympic Games, there's
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: nothing left for you. It's all over. The final day
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: is in the books now the twenty twenty six Milan
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Courtina Winter Olympic Games, Bye bye, see it. Let you
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: get out of here. They're done. And it was a
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: breakfast showdown for the ages, for the Ages, the versus
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: the Americans, for all the gold, well whatever that is.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: I don't how much gold is actually in a gold medal,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: but they played the game dropping the puck just after
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: eight in the morning on the East coast, five in
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: the morning on the West coast. I don't know if
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: you watched or not. Maybe you got up early and
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: you were watching and perhaps you decided to pick sleep.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: That's what I did. I didn't get on. I do
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: an overnight show. I'm not getting up at that. How
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: are you kidding me? No way. Now, if the game's
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: played at a time I can watch it, I will
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: watch it. And I got up. Thanks to the world
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: that we live in and you can see everything you
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: need to see all that. But my god, I was
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: snoozing away. I had no concerns, no concerns at all.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: But I watched it on demand there as the game
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: ended up going to overtime and Jack Hughes, who Jack
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Hughes gets it done? There, the US hockey hero as
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: he scored what mister al were called the golden goal,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: the golden goal there against Canada and the game winner
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: won forty one into overtime and turn at the lads,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: the parties. Over forty six years, forty six years in
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: the making the Miracle on Ice, I guess they can
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: stop making documentaries about the Miracle on Ice now and
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: now I can do something with this. I'm probably made
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: a documentary right imagine there. So anyway, listen, the debate
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: now is taking place after the USA won the gold
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: in men's hockey. How big a deal is this? How
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: big a deal is it? So well, that's a good
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: jumping all point. Let us discuss the question who benefits
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: more from the Golden goal? Right, the golden goal, as
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Kenny Albert called it, who benefits more the NHL marketing
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: department or Jack Hughes himself, meaning that, Hey, now, this
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: big game. I'm sure the rings were great, even though
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: it was played at a ridiculous hour, and yet will
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: this elevate the game of hockey? So I've got my
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: thoughts on this. I got Marvel, Comics, iPad and beyond meat,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: and we will combine all these things together and make
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: some hot dogs and apple pie classic American meal, just
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: like that. All right? So ay, the answer to the
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: question who benefits more? Side by side, You've got the
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: NHL marketing people on one side, You've got Jack Hues
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: over here on the other side. And the arrow is
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: pointing towards Jack Hughes by a country mile, by a
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: country mile. The Olympics are all about what they're about,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: flag waving, chess thumping, taking condoms from the Olympics, like
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: all that stuff, like that's what this is about, and
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: patriotism and all that stuff. So it's a different audience.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: I've tried to explain this to people. They don't understand.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: They're called idiots, but I've tried to explain It's like
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: the we didn't talk too much about the Olympics on
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: this show because we know our audience, and this is
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: not that right. You're not getting the people that were
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: watching the Olympics, who are really into the Olympics are
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: not going to be watching a San Jose Sharks game
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: against the Columbus Blue Jackets on a random Tuesday night.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: They're just not Okay, it's not gonna happen. I can
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: watch a Devil's Stars game on a Thursday night. The NHL.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: The idea that the NHL, many of the people around
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: the NHL have that this is going to rise, you know,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: the the NHL players be in the Olympics the way
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: that they were when they stopped the hockey season and
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: all that stuff. You know, rising tide lifts all boats
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: is the mindset, And well, that might be true. I
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: see no evidence that that is going to be the case.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: It's one speed boat. Granted it's a good looking speedboat,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: solid speed boat, and Jack Hughes is driving. He scored
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: the goal, golden gold and all that, and that's great,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: and had a mouthful of chicklets and took some lumber
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: from Sam Bennett. The teeth go flying, so that was
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: kind of cool. That's marketing gold, is what that is.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Forget the golden goal, that's marketing gold. You get the
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: bloody lip there, some teeth missing, and he's wrapped himself
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: in the flag. There the stars and stripes and all that.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Madison Avenue got a little chubby. They're drooling. They're so excited.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, we got his grit. And so the
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: NHL they will get a temporary sugar high. The NHL
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: will get a temporary sugar high. This wasn't twenty college
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: kids capturing the hearts, minds and souls of an entire
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: sporting nation by ending the Soviet Union's reign of terror.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: This was not that. This was a bunch of high
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: paid NHL stars who went out and beat a bunch
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: of other high paid NHL stars who happened to be
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: wearing laundry representing their country. Period. Stop. That's what this was. Busy,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: NHL's got other issues. Like all the sports league day
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: to day, they're in the purgatory of regional cable television,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: streaming issues, all that stuff. So they've got that now.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Jack Hughes, right, gotta think of this like Marvel Comics.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: I think of this like Marvel Comics because he just
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: became Captain America with that gap tooth grin and from
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: a marketing standpoint, you got it's a brave new world
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: with Jack Hughes. And while the Devils, the New Jersey Devils,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: are not exactly a glamour destination in the National Hockey League,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: this is for him breakout. I could see him doing
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: some insurance commercials, medical spots, sell toothpaste, some kind of
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: dental repair operation, advertising, all that stuff, and he'll get
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: the branding. You know, there'll definitely be some branding here
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: for Jack ues, that is for sure. And even you know,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: upset and I did kind of enjoy the people who
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: you know, those that live here in America who hate America.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: There are many of them who are very upset by
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: all of this, and it's just, oh, I've annoyed. Everyone's
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: wrapping themselves in the flag and all that stuff, and
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: it's all about the country. It was all about, right,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: I love the jack you said that after the games,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: I love the USA and all that, and the boys
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: got a phone call from the president and in the
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: locker room there to congratulate them, you had the FBI
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: director was out there futzing around celebrating, and so there
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: you go. So those of you that don't like the
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: American and all that, well, it was kicking the nuts
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: to you. I'm sorry about that. It'll be okay, all right.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Now the other side here, the losing locker room, which
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: is usually the better story. We had some interesting reactions here,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: including look at the Canadians and how they handle this
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: very embarrassing right for our brothers and sisters in Canada.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: So the Avalanche center, Nathan McKinnon is his name, and
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: he was asked about the final loss, you know, the
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Olympic loss there in the final game, the gold medal game,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: and he said, quote, you be the judge of who
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: was the better team today? That was the quote, You
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: be the judge of the better team? Was they clearly
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: implying that the better team lost the game. So the
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: question Nathan McKinnon part of the Canadians, and he says
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: essentially that the better team Canada lost to the lesser team,
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: the USA in the Winter Olympics gold medal hockey game.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Can you put it into context what he's getting at?
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: So?
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: What is he getting so Nathan McKinnon after a minutes
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: long deliberation of the available information, Nathan McKinnon is in
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: full blown Morton's salt kind of mind. He's in like
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: a Morton saltzte of mind is what he's in right now.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: He's sprinkling the kosher salt on the wound, is what
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: he's doing here. Canada did win the box score. We
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: then when the boxers had forty two shots and team
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: USA had twenty eight. Congratulations you team Canada dominated the iPad. Unfortunately,
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: I don't know there's any way around this. Unfortunately the
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: game is not played on a tablet, which is just
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: a shame. It's played on ice, frozen water, and you
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: gotta put the puck in the net, not on the net,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: in the net. You gotta put it in the net.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: And the would have, could have, should have, which I
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: guess works in a therapy session when you're going to
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: see your shrink. I could have, I should have, I
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: would Okay, good, sit down, I'll charge you a redoculous
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: amount of money for the hour. Why not? And Team
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Canada saw what I saw on the re not rebroadcast.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: It's the stream, the thing of a jag I clicked
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: on there. They had prime rib opportunity, several of them,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: several of them, and they didn't cash in and they
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: left that on the plate. And that's on them. That's
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: on them, including the man who said that essentially the
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: Canadian team is better than the US team, Nathan McKinnon
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: who had an open net and somehow screwed it up,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: did not get the puck in the net. That's the
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: yetti in the room. That's the abominable snowman in the room.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: And then there's hell on ice. Connor Hellibuck, the goaltender
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: forty one saves forty one saves hell on ice for
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Team USA and oh it was so nice. And he
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: believe he plays for the Winnipeg Jets, so I'm sure
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: he'll be getting his balls busted when he goes back
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: to Winnipeg. But there you go, got it done. One
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: game situation, and that's usually how that goes. And you
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: don't want to go down to one game in hockey
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: because the goalie. When the goalie gets like that, it's
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: like a forest fire. You're not gonna You're not gonna
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: stop it. You're not putting it out. So good luck
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: on that now, last word, just from a wide angle lens,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: from thousands of feet up in the sky, looking down
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: and seeing what has happened here, the curtain coming down
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: on the Milana Cortina Winter Olympic Games and all that.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: They had the closing ceremonies then Sunday. Now, I did
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: not watch the closing ceremonies. I'm not a closing ceremonies guy.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: That's not my thing. If it's your thing, congratulations, I
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: hope you enjoyed it. If you like the dancing and
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: all that stuff, more power to you, not for me.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: Not for me. So I did not watch it. I
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: understand though there was quite quite the celebration. There quite
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: the celebration. Two weeks of competition, one hundred and sixteen
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: sets of medals were given out across sixteen different sports
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: at the Olympics. The country of France is next in
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: line for the Winter Olympics. In twenty thirty, the Winter
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: Games in the French Alps will be taking place there.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: La will host the Summer Games coming up in twenty
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: twenty eight, so you got that to look forward to.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: So with the men's hockey medal team, USA their final
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: medal count. They got thirty three overall medals, But do
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: we really count the bronze? Why did they even do?
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: Why do they still give out the bronze? This says?
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: Is that not the dumbest thing I've never met heared
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: anyone say that's a good thing. The bronze medals dumb,
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: The silver medals stupid.
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: Two.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: USA got twelve gold medals. That's really all that matters. Right.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: The thirty two is wonderful, but the thirty three, But
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: twelve gold medals, that's what should be all around. Norway
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: had an Olympic high eighteen gold medals, and they led
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: overall with forty one. If you're into that kind, I
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: think forty one medals, but the gold is really all
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: that metal. We don't sell the break second place in
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: any other sport? Is there any other than the college
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: basketball where you get the final four? Right? I should
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: say college basketball? They celebrate the final four in this case.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: Come on, so question, how much did you enjoy the
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: Winter Olympics. The twenty twenty six Milan Courtina Winter Olympic
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: Games on the Malord scale of enjoyment one to ten,
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: with ten being oh my god, I'm gonna have missed
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: this so much. Oh my god, got it, got this,
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: I need more of this. I'm at a five, meaning
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: I can take it or leave it. I'm at a five.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: This is not rebuy sports and it's all It's like
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: plant based pageantries. It's beyond meat for vegan sports fans.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: The Olympics. Uh, and I'm more into the whole meat
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: and potatoes thing. That's more my jam than this kind
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: of stuff here, football, baseball, basketball, those kind of things.

• 14:10
  Speaker 1: and some people love peas and carrots. Seem very nicely.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: My presentation was great. Thought NBC did a pretty good job.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: There were some people on there that annoyed me, but
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: for the most part, I thought they did a good job.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: And it something that looks good on the plate. You
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: look at you that's pretty good, you know, if you're
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: into that kind of thing. You're like, oh, it's great.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: I liked, but it's not my stake. I need I
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: need my I need where's the beef. We've got the meats.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Well they didn't have the meats. So it's sports, you know,
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: it's sports for non sports fans. Hey, I was watching.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: I watched a lot of it. My wife generally does
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: not want to watch a football game or basketball. I
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: watched that stuff all myself. She's not into that, doesn't

• 17:18
  Speaker 1: the NFL, the Rules of the Game. Expect a very
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: big week of NFL whispers. The Scouting Combine gets going
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: this week in Indianapolis. A good chance for NFL executives
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: to run up their expense accounts and hang out and
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: just throw rumors. That's what it's all about so the
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: rules of the game will also be addressed. We love
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: rules of the game. So we have been given an
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: update update on the future of the tushy pushy. Do
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: you see this? Maybe not, Maybe you were not paying
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: atention that we've learned. Now will the NFL outlaw the
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: tush push or are they gonna keep it? Well? The
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: co chairman of the NFL's Competition Committee, Rich McKay, another
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: NEPO baby, His dad a longtime NFL executive. So Rich
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: McKay not not anticipating an attempt to ban the tush push.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: The tushy is in the clear. The tushy is in
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: the clear. Big news for those of you that are
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: fans of the tushpush. Massive news, so coin Rich McKay.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: There's no team proposal that he has seen, he said,
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: following a day of meetings at the Combine in Indianapois. Overall,
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: the NFL saw the tush pushes go up slightly more.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: There were eleven more tush pushes in twenty twenty five
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: as opposed to twenty twenty four. The conversion rate was
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: actually lower as teams figured out some ways to slow
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: down the tushpush and the Eagles were not nearly as
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: effective as they had been, and in twenty twenty five,
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: team's made a first down seventy seven percent of the
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: time and compared to eighty two percent, so it went
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: down about five percent, about five percent from what it
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: had been. The Eagles were much higher prior to this
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: past year when the numbers went down, So that is
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: a good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question,
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: are you surprised that it appears the NFL is no
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: longer gung ho to get rid of the tushy pushy
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: in twenty twenty six? So my thoughts on this, I've
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: got Metamorphosis, Frankenstein and Cottonell Clean Care, and we will
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: combined all of these things together and we are going
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: to make some disinfecting wipes, which for some reason we
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: still have a bunch of. Here's a leftover from COVID.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: They have tons of this. The company doesn't like spending money,
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: but they love spending money on disinfecting wipes. A lot
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: of those, A lot of those here a right, so
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: number all right, So we are pleasantly surprised the tush
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: push is not going to be outlawed in twenty twenty six.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: We have been pro tushy pushy behind these microphones. We've
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: been part of that caucus from the very beginning. We
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: have done many Mallard monologues about how stupid it is
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: to get rid of the tushpush Is it pretty? No,
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: hell no, it's not pretty. It's not esthetically pleasing. It's
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: South Philly bar, bathroom hasn't been cleaned in a couple
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: of months. Dirty, it's ugly. It is ugly. Yet that
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: being said the whole we can't stop it, so you
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: must get rid of it. Mindset that crowd, that loser crowd.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: They did it in baseball. They had the shift. In baseball.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: Players couldn't figure out how to hit the ball the
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: opposite way to get base hit, so they just outlawed
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: the shift. Dumb da dum, dumb dumb. And so I
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: will give the NFL credit. It appears that even though
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: they were only a couple of votes away from getting
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: rid of the toushbush, they have had a one point
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: eighty and are now going back to say, well, okay,
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: we'll just leave it. Basketball got rid of the slam
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: dunk at one point because because of the way the
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: game was said. Oh, it's not fair. This guy's dunking
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: all the time. You know, we got to get rid
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: of it. Will Chamberl Kareema ablul Jabar, whoever got to
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: get rid of it, get rid of the dunk. So listen,
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: it's loser talk. It was always loser talk. We said
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: it from the bully pulpit that it was loser talk.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: And it's like, you know, let me, let me have
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: the league step in his big brother and get rid
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: of this play because we can't figure it out. I
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: just left a bad taste, just a bad taste. It's
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: it's like a soggy, cold cheese steak that's sitting under
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: a heat lamp and you don't really want to eat
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: it in the whole thing. Now, some people say, well,
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: it's just strategy, that's all it is. Others call it
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: a cheap play and that's that. But the novel idea
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: was always Okay, stop it, that's it. It's not that hard,
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: it's not that deep. Just stop the play. And if
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: you can't stop it, just run it yourself. Then if
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: it's the unstoppable play, just run it. That's it and
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: use it to your own advantage. Put that in your
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: bag of tricks. And by the way, it wasn't the
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: whole league. If you look at the math on this,
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: it was two teams that were mostly running the toush push.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: As almost forty percent of the plays where they ran
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: the tush push in the NFL last year were by
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles and the Buffalo Bills. Those were the
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: two teams that were all about the tush push. So
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: that's not exactly a crisis. I think it was about
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: forty percent of all the tush push plays were run
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: by those two teams, the Eagles and the Buffalo Bills,
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: and so it's not a crisis. There's a little bit
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: of competitive advantage for Buffalo and Philadelphia. They were good
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: at it, they ran it a lot. But the real reason,
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: give me some real talk. We start to calling him
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: real talk, the real talk about why the toush push
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: cooled off? Like, what was it they cooled off? Well,
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: the Eagles underwent a metamorphosis this past year. They went
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: from angry birds, angry birds to bird brains in Philadelphia,
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: from champs to chumps. Now they made the playoffs. That
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: is true. They were no longer juggernauts. They were no
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: longer a dominant team. They had internal issues in Philadelphia,
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: and the people that were screaming and pounding the table
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: to get rid of the toush push, well, they didn't
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: sense as much outrage and lose early in the playoffs, playoffs,
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: and suddenly the angst goes away, It vanished. It's funny
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: how that works. It's odd. It's odd how that works.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: But it does seem to work that way. And suddenly
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: nobody's clutching their pearls and it's no longer a big
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: issue now. Page two. Keeping the theme of the hour going,
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: I checked my inbox on Sunday and had several correspondents
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: from my friends in the Pacific Northwest who were dog
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: piling on very very upset. I don't think upsets the
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: right word. They were taking joy from a story that
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: also popped up over the weekend. We learned that the
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: la Rams planned to submit at the Combine this week
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: where they're having the rules meetings, they're going to submit
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: a rule change proposal this offseason regarding the bogus two
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: point play that was given to Seattle that they did
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: not earn. Just one of the more ridiculous moments in
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: NFL history, one of the more embarrassing moments. Cheapened everything
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: Seattle did. Everything Seattle did was cheapened by that play.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: And there was a two point conversion of Week sixteen
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: rams in Seattle if you missed it. On the play.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: Late in regulation, Sam Donald attempted a backward pass that
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: was deflected off a RAM defender's helmet chaired verse and
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: it went forward unintentionally. Now, players on both sides assumed
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: it was an incomplete dead ball because there was a whistle.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: They whistled the officials whistle, so it plays over. So
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: they went to replay. While they were selling nachos or
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: whatever and putting stuff on television commercials, so they went
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: to replay to review the play, and they overturned the
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: play to fumble recovery for Zach Charbonneau in the end zone,
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: who casually walked over and picked up the football, and
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: they gave him two points. I know you're shaking your head.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: This is like the most embarrassing. It is embarrassing. I
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: agree with you. It's embarrassing. Cheapmans everything Seattle did. I agree.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: So now my guys in Seattle, they their tone in
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: the emails was like, oh, this is embarrassing. You should
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: be embarrassed as a RAM fan. Your team's in a
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: joke and all this stuff. So the RAMS are being mocked, apparently,
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: and being ridiculed and tarred and feathered because Sean mcvay's
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: team and his buddies with the RAMS are looking to
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: tweak the rule that wacky, bogus two point conversion fiasco
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: against the Seattle Seahawks. And so people say, oh, sour grapes,
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: and oh you petty, all right, question, do you have
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: an issue? Do you have an issue with the RAMS
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: looking to change the rules on the two point conversion controversy?
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: So no, In fact, I actually smiled when I saw
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: all of these Settle Seahawks fans. I say all of them,
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: the two people that emailed me. I smiled because I thought, man,
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: they just won the Super Bowl and they're still worried
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: about the Rams. They're still bothered by the Rams. They
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: know that this is bogus, that their reaction is one
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: of like, wow, we didn't really earn those two points,
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: and like I can hear no Stredinis right now saying, yeah,
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: you know you're right, Ben, that was that was a
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: bad play. The referees screwed that up and we benefited
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: from it. But it was a bad play. So I
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: support this one hundred percent. Right. Uh, And here's why
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: they explained why. Because you blow the whistle, you play
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: to the whistle. Right. This wasn't like a bang bang
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: live ball rugby scrum situation. Wasn't that at all. This
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: wasn't a case where one team clearly out hustled the
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: other team. No, both teams stopped on the play. The
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: whistle blew. Bodies relaxed at that point, Helmets came off,
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: Defensive linemen stopped chasing, offensive players stopped blocking because you
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: played to the whistle. And everyone, every man, woman too,
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, everyone operated under the universal football commandment. You
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: to the whistle. That's it. And then hours later, of course,
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: you know NFL time. Hours later, it was a couple
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: of minutes. They go to the replay center in New
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: York and actually, psych surprise, we're gonna give Seattle two
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: points because Pooka Na Puoh went on a podcast and
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: ripped our officials. So we're gonna screw over the rams
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: and give two points. The Seahawks didn't earn, didn't I
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: didn't earn it, did not earn it. Give it give it.
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: So you can't and I think we'd all you cannot
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: retroactively revive a dead play. Can't do it like it's
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: like Frankenstein's Monster. You're wreaking. No, you can't do that.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: They did it. The whistle creates a change in behavior.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: It always has, it always will right, and in this
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: case there's an integrity issue. Everything's compromised when you just decide, well,
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: everyone stopped in the play, and this one guy walked
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: over and picked up the football, so we'll give him
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: to a point. No, it's ridiculous. Muscle memory tells you
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: when you hear a whistle, you stop. That's it, survival instinct,
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it. That's the way this
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: is done. And so when the critics are out calling
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: out the rams, sour grapes, this, that and the other thing, please,
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: it's not about hurt feelings. It's about truth. Justice in
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: the American way in the NFL, is what it's about.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: The whistle alters effort, it always has, It alters effort, reaction,
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: all of that. Fundamentally, it's supposed to do that. So
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: you cannot hand out points in a laboratory somewhere in
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: New Jersey or New York when everyone's been disengaged. Cannot
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: do it. But they did it, and the Rams are
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: trying to trying to take that loophole and say you
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: can't do it, and that's great. You know you can't
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: do it. You play bunker in Manhattan, can't do it
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: in the stadium, can't do it anywhere. You play to
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: the whistle. That's it all, right, final point. So, a
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: new poll out of NFL executives found that Indiana quarterback
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: Fernando Mendoza is not considered the top player in the
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty six NFL Draft. Now, I pointed out that
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: I was not impressed with Fernando Mendoza, and I learned
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: that there are a bunch of bots that love Indiana
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: Hoosier football. And I don't know how many of those
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: people were real. I think most of them were not.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: I think they just kind of got caught up the
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: bots in what I had to say. But turns out
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: I was on the right side of history, based on
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: what I'm reading here. Over the weekend, in a poll
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: of NFL executives, coaches, and players who were asked who
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: the best players in the twenty twenty six NFL draft
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: class were regardless of positions a position. Take it out
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: of here. Things did not go well for Fernando Mendoza
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: not In fact, turns out that Ohio state pass rusher
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: Arvel Reese was dubbed the top NFL prospect or suspect.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: He got the most votes, followed by Notre Dame running
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: back Jeremiah Love. That's a great name. If he's good,
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: that's a star's name. Jeremiah Love. That's going to be
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: a star. So Jeremiah Love. He also had more votes.
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: Mendoza was tied with Buck Guy's safety Caleb Downs. They
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: each only got one vote. That's it, all right, So
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: question how much stalk? How much stalk do you put
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: into Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza not being voted the top
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: player among the twenty twenty six eligible players for the
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: college draft. So this is something that we all want
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: when you do this for a living, and when you're
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: in the industrial complex of the hot take, and that's
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: what this is, industrial complex of the hot take. We're
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: fighting all the other hot take artists and you want
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: hot take validation. You need every once in a while
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: hot take validation. This is hot take validation. Listen, Fernando
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: Mendoz is fine, he's got mid round ability and you
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: should draft him in the mid round. And who knows,
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: it's possible that Fernando Mendozo will turn out to be
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: a decent NFL quarterback. You don't draft him with the
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: top pick. That's malfeasance. If you take him with the
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: top pick, right, you draft at the very top based
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: on the measurables, you draft on all of those. He's
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: not the biggest, strongest, fastest. The NFL is all about
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: the measurables, capital m that's what has always been about.
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: It's height, arm, wheels, all that stuff. He does not
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: pop off the tape, Fernando Mendoza. He does it. There's
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: no fireworks like it's the fourth of July. No, So
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: why do the Raiders have him at the very top
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: of the draft. It's Fomo. It's fear of missing out. Well,
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: what if we're wrong? What if he turns out to
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: be good. Everyone's afraid of Fomo because if you don't
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: draft Fernando Mendoza, even though you're pretty sure he's gonna
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: be average, not stink, but be average, and he turns
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: out to be better than that, you lose your job, right,
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: and so everyone's afraid of that, the fear of missing
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: out in case he's good, and so you end up
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: drafting him even though you know he's not great. There's
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: a supply chain shortage. There's a supply chain short of
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: the quarterbacks. It's the It's kind of like a Cottonell
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: Clean Care toilet paper in twenty twenty. You knew it
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: wasn't the greatest toilet paper, but you needed toilet paper
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: because everyone was trying to buy toilet paper and water
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: during the pandemic. And so you know that's rough and scratchy,
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: and it tears easily because it's not you know, we
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: had the dude wipes where they were the sponsor. I mean,
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: that's what you need right there. Yeah, fresh, keep your
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: fresh and the whole thing. However, when you're desperate, and
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: this would be desperate, you convince yourself the store brand
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: is gourmet. The store brand is absolutely gourmet. For an
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: a Mendoza, he doesn't have the razzle dazzle. He's lacking that.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: And the draft. There's some some dingle hopper involved in this, right,
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: you know, the dingle hoppers are are bluffing and they're

• 35:03
  Speaker 3: break the all time sack record. He said, he's I'm
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: going to take that down, and I prefer to I
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: take it down here in the next five years. Ben,
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: do you think he'll be able to break Bruce Smith's record.
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: No, he will not. It's nice to say. It's great
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: to throw it out there. I like the fact he's
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: given up on winning the Super Bowl now because he
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: played for the Cleveland Browns, so he's now all about
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: individual records. I do not foresee him breaking the sack record.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: You got to stay healthy, you got to play a
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: long time. He ain't gonna do that.
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: Next Jackson Smith and Jigba was the best wide receiver
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: in the league last season, and he is now eligible
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: for his second contract and he wants to be the
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: highest paid receiver in the game.
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: Do you think he will be? Yeah? I think he
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: actually will be because of the way the salarycap is,
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: it keeps raising every year, and the fact that Seahawks
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: are still on that dopamine high from the after goal
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: of the Super Bowl. So yeah, I think he will
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: becoming the high speed Next.
• 35:58
