• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Festiva is gonna start out with the Sunday Night game
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: in the Land of the Insurs, the Land of the Injurs.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: That's the story, big game made for TV extravaganza there
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: and we go to the confluence. Now why do we
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: go to the confluence because that's where they played the game,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Right there, where the Monongahela and the Alleghany get together.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: They have a baby and the baby is the Ohio River.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: So that is the birth of the Ohio right there.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: It's very public the PDA type display there and so
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: that is where the story was. Mike Tarrico, Chris Collinsworth.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Collinsworth had his knee pads out for the quarterbacks as
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: he always does there and if you didn't see the game.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Maybe not eh, it was a game for a half,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: game for a half in a quarter about a quarter
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: not so good. So we watched so you would not
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: have to. As Jordan Love passed for almost almost four
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: hundred yards and not one, not two, but three touchdowns
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: as Green Bay, after falling behind at halftime, sprinted past
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: the Pittsburg Steelers in the second half. Now, the better story, though,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: is in the losing locker room. So that is where
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: we will begin. And despite him down playing it, saying, well,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: it was not a revenge game. It will be different.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: It was at Lambeau. That'd be Aaron Rodgers. Now, Aaron
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Rodgers was put on a pedestal. He was absolutely put
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: on a pedestal here, and he went against his old team.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: We all know the backstory, right, we all know it.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: You're listening to a sports talk radio show late at
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: night here, you know the backstory. So Rogers was out
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: there doing his thing, and how did that go? Not good?
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Not good? Rogers pathetic in the second half in particular
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: there and we'll get into it. But here's Rogers, first
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: of all, pointing out that things just didn't go right
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: in many areas, including paying attention to what you're supposed
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: to do. Here's Rogers complaining about the execution of the Steelers.
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: We had some discipline issues and some penalties everyone necessary,
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: and then you're not going to win a lot of
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: games when we're so bad on third down. Boz bailed
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: us out some four incredible kicks. But you're playing good teams,
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: you need to square touchdowns, and we just stalled out
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: in the high red zone.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: All right, so let us discuss. That's a good jumping
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: off point. So the question, how do you explain ain Rogers'
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: performance or lack thereof for Pittsburgh in the second half.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: So I've got Tommy Hill, figure, eye wash, and tiki bar,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together and
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: we are going to make an outstanding rice cake, which
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: is about what the Steelers were in the second half.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: A rice cake. As you know, it's disgusting rice cakese
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: who wants to eat that crap? So A so much
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: for the Aaron Rodgers payback for game and all that stuff,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: which he tried to downplay, but Mike got and Rodgers
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: was a big part of it. With the defense was embarrassing.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: And we'll get to that here in a minute. Even
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: if the Packers had not gotten the benefit of being
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: able to bait the Steeler players because they're undisciplined into
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: excessive penalties. Even if that had not been the case,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: the way the Steelers tackled it would not have mattered.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: We're starting out with Aaron Rodgers here, So Aaron Rodgers,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: who was okay. I wouldn't say he was great in
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: the first half. He was okay in the first half.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: He watched the game, forget the stats, just watched the game.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: And then the second half, if he was at the
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: movie theater, he would have been what kind of snack
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: at the movie theater? He would have been a milk
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: dud is what he would have been. It was an
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: absolute dud. The shine came off Aaron Rodgers in the
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: second half there real quick in the steel City and
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: the first half. I wouldn't say he was great. I
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: would say he was function functional in the first half
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: of the game. I thought in the second half there
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: was system malfunction for Aaron Rodgers, and it's like someone
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: went in there and unplugged the motem. It's like the
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: motem got unplugged and he couldn't get connected he couldn't
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: get online, like everything was kind of messed up there.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: It's like, what's up with that? The Steelers actually had
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: a nine point lead at halftime. They're up sixteen to seven.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Not riveting football, but they're up by nine points. They
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: got the ball to start the third quarter. Every meatthead
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: ex jock that gets a microbe. Oh they have all
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: the momentum. Oh my god, they have all the moment
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: lah blah lash shoving up your tuckers. They had all
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: the momentum, all of them moremtium. The Pittsburgh Steelers had
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: all of them metum. Then they had to play the game.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: They rode the vomit comet in the second half momentum
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: I ass outscored twenty eight to night. It should have
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: been worse than that. In fact, in many ways it
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: was worse than that. It was really twenty eight to
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: three in the second and a half. There was a
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: late touchdown there. But that is not just a leak, okay,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: that is a full on pipe burst in the basement,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: is what That is what happened in the second half
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: of this game. And so they got that late touchdown.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: The garbage time touchdown was a little bit of a
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: sprits little sprits that was some Tommy Hill figure cologne
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: there right on top of a clogged toilet, which was
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: the Steelers in the second half, and they just put
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: a little spritz of Tommy Hill figure cologne on there,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: right on top of the toilet was clogged up Rogers
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: in the second half. If you take away the charity
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: score game, Packers were playing the would just prevent type
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: defense situation. They had a two score lead, two scores
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: and two two point conversions, and so then Pittsburgh goes
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: down the field, they drive down with Rogers and they
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: score a touchdown with a couple of minutes to go
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: in the game. You take that away because it's really
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: a cheap, garbage time score. The rest of the second half,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: Rogers averaged less than five yards per pass in the
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: second half. Basically handing it off sideways was the way
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: you would describe the Pittsburgh Steelers offense there. And people
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: will point out the overall numbers Rodgers are not terrible.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: In fact, some would say they're even good if you
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: just go by the pure stats. Aaron Rodgers overall passer rating.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Even after this game on Sunday night, where he was
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: not very good in the second half. Rogers still has
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: a higher passer rating at this point. We're at week
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: eight of the season. Now the Packers and Steelers next
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: time they play will be Week nine. So Josh Allen
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: and Patrick Mahomes do not have as good a quarterback
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: rating as Aaron Rodgers. If I had said in the offseason,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: if I said back in July, all right, whenever Rodgers signed,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: maybe like August, whenever you finally signed. So we're gonna
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: be sitting on the NFL schedule week nine going in
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: to pass the midway point. It's seventeen games, so eight
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: and a half weeks is the midway point of the
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: NFL season. So we're gonna go in there and Rogers
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: is going to have a higher passer rating than Mahomes
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: and Josh Allen. He said, okay, all right, we got
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: something here, all right, the Steelers are gonna be great
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: watch out and yeah, and this is again for those
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: people that dry hump stats. And stats tell you what
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: has happened, not what's going to happen. But they also
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: they also tell you a cloudy version of events that
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: took place, a foggy version of events that took place.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: For example, it's like, would you rather read sheet music?
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Because you love music, you want to read the sheet
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: music rather than hear the song. I would rather hear
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: the song. That the stats are the sheet music, right,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: that's the musical notes on there. But you really would
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: rather hear the song rather than just read it. You
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: get the whole vibe and all that. You watch the game.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: The mood, Oh, it's all about the mood. The mood
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: changed after afterime Rogers flat lined and the Packers' offense
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: or Packer's offense did whatever they wanted while Rogers on
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: the other side with the Steelers forget about it now.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: Speaking of that, turning the page here, Jordan Love became
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: the first Packers quarterback since Brett Farvre to complete twenty
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: straight passes in a game. Farv did it way back
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: in oh seven. I was barely alive then. I was
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: like a kid. I remember Rogers having a big game,
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: but I was a child. So twenty oh seven for
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: that performance there. That was his final season in Green Bay,
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: where he was having problems with Aaron Rodgers and so
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: far then left went to the Jets and then the
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: Vikings and all that and so so be it. But
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: the question is not so much about Jordan Love, it's
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: the other side. What on God's green Earth was that
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: by Mike Tomlins Pittsburgh Steelers defense. What happened to making adjustments?
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: What happened to improving as the season goes on? Now,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: we saw the Pittsburgh Steelers get sliced up by Joe Flacco.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: So you took the position that they were going to
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: make that a point of emphasis and they were going
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: to cut down on their mistakes there and clean some
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: stuff up. They had a mini bye week, they being
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers. How did that go? The adjustments were
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: non existent, They were non existent. The Steelers defense just
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: stood there like they were watching a Matt Nay at
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: the Cinerama Dome. They were just enjoying buttered popcorn. Whatever.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: What was that? Horrific? Unacceptable, absolutely unaccepted. Here's Mike Tomlin
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: commenting on one of the most pathetic defensive performances you'll
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: see in the Black and Yellow, Black and Yellow, Black
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: and Yellow Tail is you know, we all.
• 11:36
  Speaker 5: Have to own it. Certainly you start with the schematics, man,
• 11:39
  Speaker 5: because you know that's the leadership component of it. And
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: certainly we'll be looking at everything that we're doing, man,
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: because some of these problems are somewhat repetitive and we're
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: not getting better fast enough. Mike, I'm not gonna talk
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: too much tonight. We'll take a look at it. As
• 11:52
  Speaker 5: I mentioned, they made some significant plays on possession down
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: ball and you know, you got to get off on
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: third down.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: Okay, got it so very important to get off according
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: to Mike Tom It's all right. So anyway, it's like
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: they went to these Cinerama doomas I said there they
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: had the buttered pop going there and oh my god.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Now maybe it was just my TV. Sometimes my TV
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: sees things that other TVs don't see. I have no idea,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: but I saw these Steelers playing. I call it the
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: cover m defense, as in the cover Matador. Alright, alright, alright, oay, yeah.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: If you want miss tackles, check the Steelers are really
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: good at miss tackles, really good. If you want arm tackles,
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: they got those two. A lot of arm tackles, a
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: lot of arm tackles. You want poor pursuit ankle angles
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: where they come at the wrong direction, you know how
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: you're supposed to cut down the path. They don't do that.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: Never never see that.
• 12:47
  Speaker 6: Uh.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: It's essentially a video on how not to play defense
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: in the NFL. What the Steelers are doing on a
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: weekly basis. There's a lot of people on defense in
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: the secondary in particular, that are making business decisions, if
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying here. And he allowed the
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: Packers tied end. Who's a good player, Tucker Craft? Who
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: is not that good a player? My god, Tucker Craft.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: He went yak andy yack yards after the catch. There
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: no pushback. And what I've noticed, and the kicker on this,
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: is that they're the most expensive defense, they being the
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Stears in the entire NFL. They spend more money
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: on defense than anyone else. They're giving up now thirty
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: plus points most games. They played seven games, four of
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: the seven they've allowed thirty or more points per game.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: That's the Pittsburgh Steelers at this particular point. And the
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: one game where they looked okay against Drake May and
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: the Patriots, that was more of a byproduct because the
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: Patriots I think they had five turnovers in that game.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: That was the Ramando Stevenson fumble fumble game there. But
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: it's not bad luck it's like, look at the series
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: we've seen them now in Island games, the last couple
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: of games against the Bengals and against the Green Bay Packers,
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: and it's just systemic rot is what it is. I mean,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: they're just they're not anywhere close to being good.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: I get I made the mistake, was handicapped the games
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: that Mike Tomas gonna go in there, going to the
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: workshop and figure some things out. It doesn't look like
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: they figured anything out at all. And so listen, listen,
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: they're gonna end up winning nine or ten games. They're
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: over five hundred. As bad as the defense is, they're
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: still over five hundred. They're a fake contender. They're in
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: the fake contender zone. The Pittsburgh seis at this point
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: just enough there to kind of trick people into thinking
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: may matter and that anybody can win it. It's wide
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: open in the AFC here and nobody is scared of
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: that defense. But the thing about it too, though, is
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: you see the guys and it's it's eye wash in
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: the secondary. That's the term here. It's the fake hustle
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: where they're kind of around the ball, but it looks
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: like they're not just based on the eyeball test. It
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: looks like they're not hustling. It's eyewashes. Hustles stunt double,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: that's what eyewashes, right, It's guys flying around just enough
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: to get on cameras. So it looks like for the
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: low information fan that they're in position and looks like
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: they cared and looks like they're trying, and yet they're not.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: This is just ridiculous. So that's where we are on that.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: The last thing, we go to Denver where bo Nicks
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: had not one, not two, not three, but four touchdowns
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: and JK Dobbins ran for one hundred and seventeen yards
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: no touchdowns, but the Broncos mallywop the once proud Dallas
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: Cowboys beat them by twenty in the Mile High City. Now,
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: the better story, though, is in the losing the locker room.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: So some postgame comments from Jerry Jones. We'll get to
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: that in a second. Here. Dak Prescott, he commented all this,
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: Dak Prescott, he was swallowed up by the Broncos defense.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: I guess the I guess the MVP campaign for Dak
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: Prescott has gone off the rails at this point. Here.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: No touchdowns, two interceptions for Dak Prescott. Here he is
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: on postgame commentary about the Dallas cowbich ticulous surprise.
• 16:28
  Speaker 6: For sure, it's a good good word to use. Frustrated
• 16:31
  Speaker 6: as well. Frustrating. Yeah, as you said, right, what we've
• 16:33
  Speaker 6: been doing, what we're capable of doing, didn't really ever
• 16:36
  Speaker 6: get it going. Having an opportunity right there in the
• 16:38
  Speaker 6: first drive of getting down there in the red zone,
• 16:40
  Speaker 6: being able to have a chance to put put seven
• 16:42
  Speaker 6: up and settling for a field goal.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: That that was the start of it all right now.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: Jerry Jones also chimed on this. It was very bizarre.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: Jerry was praising the Broncos owners. He was celebrating the
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: ownership group. Being a Walmart family owns the Broncos. He
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: was celebrating that, and he's like, oh, yeah, yeah, the
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: great ownership. Want to congratulate the ownership group, he said postgame.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: They beat us physically, their lines beat us, Jerry said,
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: but their overall team, they did it with a young quarterback.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: He said, all right, So question, what is your reaction
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: to Jerry Jones calling out the Cowboys by praising the
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: Broncos and celebrating the fact that they won the game.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: With essentially I'm paraphrasing her with physicality. All right, So
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: does Jerry Jones know really when he was praising the
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: Broncos owner, I'm wondering, now, does Jerry realize they did
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: not actually play in the game. Does he realize that
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: no Broncos owner suited up for the Broncos, none of
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: them laced it up? So that was my first takeaways,
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: Like Jerry kept praising the owners like they were out
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: there making tackles or they were pushing around the offensive
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: line of the Dallas Cowboys there. And so to me,
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: it's coded. I look at this as coded. It's like
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: using invisible ink, Jerry Jones using some invisible ink. Hear
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: its owners speak, Now, what does it mean? It's you know,
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: my guys meeting Jerry Jones. His team got punched waylaid
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: in the mouth and they didn't swing back. Did not
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: swing back. That's essentially what Jerry Jones is saying. Right,
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys got treated like they were working at the
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: Tiki Juice bar at Disneyland and they served up some
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: dollwhip and nice soft, cold doll whip. That's essentially what
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys were in this game. Getting out muscled,
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: getting out hustled and out gutted, and not losing in
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: the margins. You lose in the margins when you hustle
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: and you muscle around and you play with vim and vigor,
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: you can still lose that game, but you lose in
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: the margins. This was not losing in the margins. This
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: was not that Denver did push around the couch. Who
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: the cowboysh some guys out? Oh boo hoo, hoo booh
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: six touchdowns. The Broncos scored six six touchdown. Bon Nicks
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: did not get sacked. I don't think he had to
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: wash his uniform after the game. That's the Cowboys defense
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: that this was trench warfare, is what it was. And
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys showed up with a NERF gun. Now it
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: was a good NERF gun. It was a nice NERF gun,
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: but it was a NERF gun. Is what it was.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: Is a referendum on Brian Schottenheimer. And just when you
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: thought the Cowboys had turned the corner and they figured
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: some things out, and that entire coaching staff got worked
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: over by Sean Payton and his coaching staff. Here they
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: were raggedalled manhandled however else you want to say it,
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: whatever phrase you want to use. And so Jerry is
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: essentially saying, hey, they're the ones. They being the Broncos.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: They had the juice and we had jello is what
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: we had a lot of jello is what we had there.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: And so there you go, physicality on one side, you
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: had finesse on the other, and the finesse ends up
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: getting steamrolled. Jerry Jones when he needs to do now,
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: he used to go on a field trip with the
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys, go down to Avery Island, a real island,
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: but it's in Louisiana, and every restaurant that has Tabasco sauce,
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: they says, from Avery Island, you get some of that
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: Avery Island Tabasco sauce and from right out of Louisiana there,
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: and maybe you grow some hair on your chest there
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: if you're the Dallas Cowboys. That was pathetic.

• 22:59
  Speaker 1: gonna change it up. We'll get back to the NFL
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: in a moment, I wanted to start with the story
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: in the by you and I am fascinated. I fully
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: admit you might not care about this. I'm fascinated by
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: these buyouts in college football. I have been whacked from
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: a number of radio jobs. I've lost a TV show
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: a couple of times. I've lost a lot of jobs.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: I've never been given the kind of golden parachute that
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: they hand out in college football. It's fascinating. The people
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: of academia are so stupid. They hire these football coaches,
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: they give them these massive contracts, and then they whack
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: them after a few years. It has happened yet again,
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: big shake up on Sunday while we were watching the
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: NFL in the shores are right on the shores of
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: the Mississippi, not far away from that. If he didn't see,
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: did not hear? Maybe not? I know Tiger Man very happy.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: He's very happy about this. But we've learned now that
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: LSU has said bye bye to Brian Kelly. Now he's
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: in his fourth season, signed a ten year contract worth
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: about one hundred million about one hundred million dollar contract
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: four years in turnout. The last the parties over now
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: that move comes on the heels of rhythmic chanting goofing
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: on Brian Kelly. Over the weekend, you see Texas A
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: and M quietly the number three, number three team in
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: college football Texas Center. They won against LSU forty nine
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: to twenty five. That is a second consecutive loss, we
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: are told for Louisiana State, third loss in four games.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: So LSU finds themselves at five and three. They're two
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: and three in the South Eastern Conference. That is a
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: good jumping off point. So let us discuss people questioning
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: the timing on this. They should have let it breathe
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: a little bit longer, should have waited. So the question
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: was Brian Kelly's firing as coach at LSU justified or
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: was it premature? All right, So on this one, I've
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: got Pitt Boss, Rosetta Stone and best Buy and we
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: will combine all of these things together and we are
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: going to make some delicious yogurt which I believe would
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: have put more of a fight up a little cup
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: of yogurt than the LSU football team did for Brian
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: Kelly in the game over the weekend. So number is
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: number one. So this one is absolutely in the basket
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: that is called justified. It's justified is what it is
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: here Brian Kelly. You knew the moment he got to
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: Baton Rouge that Brian Kelly was. The clinical term is
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: carpet bagger. That is what Brian Kelly was when he
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: walked into Baton Rouge. If you don't know, look it up.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: He was a carpet bagger. And the minute he stepped
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: off the plane and went to that little shin dig
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: there in Baton Rouge with the family, trying to say
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: like he was in the South there that phony drawl.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: I can't even do justice when Brian Kelly was trying
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: to pronounce and speak in an accent there when he
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: took over as the OLC coach, he went, he flew
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: from South Bend down to Battown Rouge and somewhere over
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: maybe Arkansas, he picked up the Southern drawl, which was
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: really bad. This fake accent, this fake Southern charm and
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: fake connection, trying to connect the people who are LSU fans.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: And now he has a fake job that pays a
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: lot of real money. So Brian Kelly has a fake
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: job because he's not going to be doing the job anymore. However,
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: he's got a lot of real money. So this was
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: not about just the loss to Texas and M. That
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: was embarrassing. That was a emasculating situation. This has been
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: a slow burn, a slow burn. It's like embers on
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: fire growing into a wildfire. LSU got passed at home.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: They gave up I think it was thirty five straight
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: points at one point in the second half of that
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: game to Texas and M. So that's embarrassing. Even that
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: does not get to the point where LSU is now
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: going to have to cut a giant, oversized cartoon check
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: to the old Golden Domer coach Brian Kelly. The Boosters
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: reaching into their back pocket, grabbing their wallet out and
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: starting to say, okay, well do I give a credit card?
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: Is this direct deposit? Can I pay in crypto? Like?
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: What do we have to do? Let's let's have a GoFundMe.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: How are we going to handle this year? Imagine being
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: so incompetent, so underwhelming at your job that the employer
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: you work for goes out and raises funds to pay
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: you almost fifty four million dollars to go away. That's
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: where we are. And if you look at the story.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: That's where we are in the Brian Kelly story. That
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: is not firing is all. Brian Kelly was fired as
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: coach at LSU. No, no, listen. That is a luxury
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: cruise for the rest of your life to the riviera
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: and as many my ties as you possibly want to have.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: You can afford everything. This guy basically worked Brian Kelly.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: The moment he got to LSU, he was like going
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: down to floor and decors and the golden parachute which
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: was wrapped in of all things, all things, a carpetbag
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: right there. He can land anywhere he wants. Maybe not
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: the French Riviera. Maybe he wants to go to Hawaii,
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: can Coon I hear is nice and can go to
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: any of those locations. LSU is not paying that kind
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: of money. What they did is they found a sugar daddy,
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: is what they did to come up with the money.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: That's what we understand. How they haven't even worked out
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: the final details on the actual payout. They fired him
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: and they said, well, we'll figure it out. It's rather simple.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: Unless Brian Kelly is willing to take less. They got
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: to pay him every single dollar and as the old
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: Yukon coach said back in the day, not a dimeback,
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: not a dime, you know, I want every dollar, every penny,
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: every nickel, everything. So LSU found somebody, some old oil
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: baron or some tech mogul to pay the money, the
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: bulk of it. And he was never the guy. Brian
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: Kelly was never the guy, never was. And we're talking
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: about the opening news commerce right from Jump Street. It
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: was a disaster. When he took over for the LSU
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: Bengal Tigers. He's like a Midwestern politician coming down from
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: South Bend. If you remember it was a couple of
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: years ago. He's got the purple blazer, kind of a
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: purple outfit. I think you get a sweater actually, but
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: he had the purple outfit as I remember, and he
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: was acting like he was the pit boss at a
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: Louisiana barbecue joint, even though he'd never eaten barbecue. He's like, well,
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: it doesn't really make sense, come on, just never fit
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: in now. Fortunately nobody died falling off a tower while
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: he was coaching LSU, like happened at Notre Dame. So
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: that's good. So baby steps there. But the Bayou gave
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: Brian Kelly a Bronx cheer as they kicked him out
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: on a pontoon boat down the mighty Mississippi River and
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: out to the golf right there. Good knock yourself out now,
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: page two. So as the story, the coaching carousel we'll
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: call it, starts spinning around in college football, seeing high
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: profile removals at places like Penn State, Oklahoma State. Now
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: LSU's on that short list, and there's some other places
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: as well that have made changes that are not UCLA,
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: not a high profile job. So we have a shortage.
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: Now there's a supply chain shortage, which is a slight
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: issue if you're going to fire your coach, because there
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: are not that many coaches available that you would hire
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: and excite your fan base. They just aren't. So the
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: question who is LSU targeting to replace Brian Kelly? Who
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: are they looking at? Give me some names? So I
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: looked around. As you know, we don't talk much college
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: football on the show. We mostly talk about in the NFL.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: But if you look at this, this is such a
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: big money deal to pay somebody fifty million dollars to
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: not coach your team, you must have somebody really exciting
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: lined up in the on deck circle. You must have
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: a coach there that everyone's gonna be happy about. Oh
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: my god, it is so exciting unless you don't. So
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: the coaching carousel at LSU is spinning round and round
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: and round, like going to the waffle house and looking
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: at the ceiling fan at three in the morning. Round
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: and round and round and round and round and round
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: and then so the booster is down in buffal Rouge.
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: As we understand it, they want a name, They want
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: some sizzle. If you're going to cut a check for
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: fifty million dollars on one side, you better get something,
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: get you a little Tingley on the other side, gotta
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: get something little Tingley on the other side. So what
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: is that? Well, if you look around, the hottest name,
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: the hottest name, the hottest fish. I will do it
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: like Southern fish fry. The hottest fish in the frying
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: pan is not a catfish. No, no, no, no, it's
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: Lane Kiffin. Lane Kiffin, the old miss coach So Florida.
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: They also whacked their coach, and Lane Kiffin has been
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: tied to that job. Now you've got LSU, that job's
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: open up. The LSU job's better than the Florida's job
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: rather than going to the to the swamp in Gainesville.
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: You can go coach in Baton Rouge and do your
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: thing and all that stuff. So if it's not Lane Kiffen,
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: and to my knowledge I might be wrong on this,
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: Lane can only coach one team at a time. So
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: either he stays at Old Miss, he runs off to
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: Florida to Gainesville, or he goes to Louisiana State. But
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: he only have one of those jobs. So let's assume
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: he does not. We'll take the position that Lane Kiffin
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: does not end up taking the gig for LSU. So
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: that's when the circus just gets cranked all the way
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: up because there's nobody else right, there's nobody else who's
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: rather obviously it brings any kind of muscle, any kind
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: of juice is just not much there. And you look
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: around and you've got the reject pile. And who's on
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: the reject pile? Well, James Franklin. How would that go over? Well,
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: he was at Vanderbilt. Will hire him. He knows the South. Okay,
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: that'll go over very well. The failed Penn State coach
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: has got a terrible record in big games. We'll hire him.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: How about Jimbo Fisher. You can't get anymore baton rouge
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: than jim Bow Fisher. Although why would Jimbou Fisher want
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: that job when he's still getting paid aristocrat money, not
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: the coach Texas A and M. So that doesn't make
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: any sense. He's getting those giant checks the lottery from
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: A and M. So don't go there. And Jimbo would
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: be like reheated gumbo is what he would be. Technically
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: it's edible. Okay, it's edible. However, you're not gonna really
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: enjoy it and you'll regret it later, if you know
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. All right, now, will former LSU coach?
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: Now?
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: I say former because he just got whacked Brian Kelly
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: coach again?
• 34:05
  Speaker 7: Right?
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: What about that? Is Brian Kelly going to coach again?
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: So he will coach again if he wants. That's the caveat.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: And it's great to be in a position in life.
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: Will you don't need a job? You can get a job,
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: but you don't need a job. That's Brian Kelly right.
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: The days of him, I will say this, the days
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: of Brian Kelly getting a big boy job O V
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: E R. He's not going to get one of those
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: bougie boogie bougie type gigs. That's over and he doesn't
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: need it. He does not need it. Brian Kelly just
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: got the golden handshake. Congratulations, you've got the retirement package.
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: Your retirement will be paid for from Louisiana State University.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: He's not getting another big time upper conference, blue blood job.
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: That is not happening, not gonna happen. Hudoo boo boodoo
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: Penn State. Okay, yeah, good luck on that. Maybe Ucla
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: because he's already getting paid by Louisiana States, So maybe
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: UCLA and in Oklahoma State somewhere like that. If he
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: wants to work on his accents, he can do that
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: as well, and just go somewhere some mid tier job
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: if you want to coach again and there's low expectations
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: and you can golf a lot, and the weather's got
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: to be good for golfing, So that's important in all that.
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: And Brian Kelly, whatever headset he wears next, I know
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: the logo is either going to be a FS one
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: logo or an ESPN logo. We will see Brian Kelly
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: on television breaking down third down conversions like he's the
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: genius of geniuses there in between rounds of golf and
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: Palm Beach. That's essentially what he'll be doing here and
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: cashing checks, not calling plays, and what a great life
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: that is going to be. He is the Rosetta Stone
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: of phonies, Phony, funny phony. Yeah, he is. You mix it,
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: get a little bit of Boston, little sprinkle of Dixie.
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: I think this should be a great TV show. By
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: the way, I'm recommending. I'm an ideas guy, So why
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: not have Brian Kelly, whether it's f S one or ESPN,
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: wherever he ends up one of these TV gigs, these
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: no show TV jobs where you show up in spue
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: cliches and everyone thinks you're the smartest person in the
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: room because people are dumb. So Brian Kelly shows up
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: there and he gets accents with Brian Kelly, Like we say,
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: you do a little Boston accent. He can do a
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: little Dixie because he practiced that down there in Louisiana.
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: He can get that Fargo flair, that Minnesota Fargo accent
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: and get that going a little bit there. Boom done,
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: and his future though much less Death Valley, much less
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: Death Valley than it is easy Street. It's like Sesame
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: Street for sunny days are here again for Brian Kelly
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: there who has been fired as the coach at s U.
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: Now meanwhile, back to the NFL, we go, back to
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: the NFL, we go and the news out from Atlanta.
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: We mentioned this game last hour as to a tongue
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: of Iloa man. He was great, had a bad eye,
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: woke up, went out there and sliced up the falcons.
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: He carved him like a turkey, and it's illegal to
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: do that to a falcon, but he did it. It's
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: a protected bird, that type of falcon, but he did
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: it anyway. So Kirk Cousins went out there, replaced an
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: injured Michael Pennex Junior on the other side, the backup
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins hadn't seen him play any meaningful football sometime
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: and we still haven't seen him play any meaningful football.
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: And sometimes Cousins was at the controls, he had his
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: hand on the throttle and how did that go? Atlanta
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: totaled eleven first downs in a sixty minute game. They
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: had two hundred and thirteen yards of offense in that game,
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: and now under five hundred men when they beat Buffalo,
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: all the Falcons have arrived. Everyone's all horny for the Falcons.
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: How's that working out for you? Now? Under five hundred?
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: They lose by twenty four points to the Dolphins. Dan
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: Marino and the Miami Dolphins went into Atlanta and dominated
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: a domination situation there. So the question what is the
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: word we like words on the Overnight Show? What is
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: the word to describe Kirk cousins performance or lack thereof?
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: As Miami took them and took them behind the woodshed,
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: they'd kicked their ass up and down the field. So
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: on this one, the word I will use is alarming
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: with the capital A. Alarming with the capital A. That
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: is the word I will use to describe this. And
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: here's why. Cousins was out there looking like a guy
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: that had won a raffle. So hey, everything goes in
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: the hopper, All the names go on the hopper, and
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: they pulled his name out and it's like, okay, Cousins,
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: you get to play quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons. Congratulations,
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: your name came up in the hopper. We pulled it
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: out of the raffle and that how did that work
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: out for you? Everything was bad, The throws were terrible.
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: The reads. It looked like he didn't know how to read.
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: Bad job by him. He needs the reading rainbow on
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: how to read defenses. The body language was not good.
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: There was one clip that went all over the plays
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: that showed Cousins who was audibling at the line and
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: he just called the wrong player. The players didn't know
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: what he called. And it was a big to do it,
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: a big mess and all that stuff. Anyway, Rahee Morris,
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: who was in over his head as coach of the Falcons,
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: how long before he's whacked? Here is Rahee Morris pointing
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: out his opinion of Kirk cousins performance.
• 39:31
  Speaker 6: Take a list, you know, tough to discuss anybody's play
• 39:34
  Speaker 6: when you go out and play that way.
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: It was why why why?
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: He sucks something that we got to fix all together,
• 39:40
  Speaker 4: and we got to go and get those things done
• 39:41
  Speaker 4: this week.
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: It's not a wee, it's a heat and he sucks.
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: We're gonna watch the tape. He didn't say watch the tape.
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: He might as well said watch the tape. So it
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: was a masculating that's another word you can use to
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: describe this year. My god, everything went kurkfluey. It went
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: Kurkfluey for Kirk Cousins. Everything from soup to nuts was
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: a hot mess there and breaking the huddle in the
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: third quarter, it was like a walk of shame. Walk
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: of shame. The loan touchdown, see the final score was
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: thirty four to ten. The loan touchdown came in an
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: empty building. There were a few dozen fans there wearing
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: dolphin gear and with just a little time left on
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: the clock, there was a garbage time touchdown there, garbage
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: time points in the morgue. The stadium was like a
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: morgue at that point there, and you can't even spin it.
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: Rahee Morris chose to talk about we lose as a team,
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: we win as a team. All that crap, that standard
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: standard coaching. One on one, right, you deflect, you deflect
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: from the Komodo drag in the room. How about this? Though,
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: the trade deadline is coming up. It's a week from tomorrow.
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: Week from tomorrow, Tuesday of next week is the NFL's
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: trade deadline. So we asked the question, all right, what
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: ever price tag the Falcons thought thought they were getting
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: at the upcoming trade deadline? Where is that right now?
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: All right? So the Falcons it has been chatter they're
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: gonna try to trade Kirk Cousins here and this was
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: a showcase game for him to get out there and play.
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: So whatever price they put on Cousins, all right, whatever
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: it is, you slash it with a machete. It's like
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: chopping away the brush. Just chop it away. Imagine if
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: you will. You're at best Buy now, you could buy
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: a brand new refrigerator and spend thousands and thousands of
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: dollars on it. Or you can go to the back
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: there and they have the scratched and dented section of
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: refrigerators and just some cosmetic damage and you can get that.
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: You'll save save some money. So do you want it
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: at full prices? Cousins at this point is like a
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: dented refrigerator. He is. And the wild thing here's another guy.
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: They just have so much money in sports, our money.
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: People that buy tickets and watch games, They take the
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: money and they just fivolously spend the money. They're as
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: bad as politicians. Brian Kelly getting the money he got
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: from LSU, Kirk Cousins getting one hundred million dollars guaranteed
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: from the Atlanta Falcons, and the crazy thing is Michael
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: Pennix Junior, the regular quarterback for Atlanta. He isn't all
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: that great. It's not like he's good. However, side by
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: side with what we saw from Kirk Cousins, Pennix is
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: a beast, the Beast of the South.
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: Teams to the Here we go, this one gets grilled.
• 42:51
  Speaker 7: But after the Ravens win on Sunday, linebacker Rokwan Smith
• 42:55
  Speaker 7: that it's the start of something special. The Ravens are
• 42:57
  Speaker 7: actually favored to win the division on sports books.
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: Do you think that's gonna happen? No, their defense is terrible.
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: You wouldn't know the way the Bears played. I'm not
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: there yet. They have a lot to fix on defense.
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: I'll give you this. Because of the division. No one's
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: taken advantage of the generosity of the Ravens losing all
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: those games earlier in the year. Mathematically, they're still in
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: good shape. And Lamar is supposed to come back on
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: Thursday and all that. I wouldn't. I don't trust him.
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: How about that? I don't trust him? Next?
• 43:24
  Speaker 7: But over the weekend, it was reported that Steve Sarkisian's
• 43:27
  Speaker 7: representatives have let it be known to NFL teams that
• 43:30
  Speaker 7: he'd be willing to make the jump to the NFL.
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: Do you think there will be interest?
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: No?
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: I don't think he's a very good college coach. Why
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: would you bring him to the NFL. I think he's
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: a mid level college coach, And of course he did
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: everything he could deny the story. He's got one of
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: the most powerful agents in all of the NFL. I
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: think there's something there. I just don't think anyone's gonna
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: go out of their way to hire Steve Sarkisian because
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: he's not that great at coach.
• 43:54
  Speaker 7: Next, then Bill Belichick in North Carolina came close to
• 43:57
  Speaker 7: upsetting Number sixteen Virginia in overtime.
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: Yes, is this a glimmer of hope? Not just close? Count? Coop?
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: Does that you you get anything like you get a
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: little gold star? No glimmer?
• 44:09
  Speaker 5: No?
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, no, how do we do? Coop?
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: You passed the Senate? Went player on the bar? I
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: won the.

  Speaker 7: Why?
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: I usually try to give advice to someone in the NFL,
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: but this week's a little bit different. We had the
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: big story at the end of last week involving the
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: gambling Chauncey Billups, who was coaching the Trailblazers not anymore.
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: He's out for now, he'll never coach them again. And
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: Scary Terry Terry Rosier. Both of them have been indicted
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: by the Feds at this point. Chauncey Billups, they say poker,
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: although those rumors he's involved in some other stuff. And
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: Terry Rosier, according to the Feds, he threw a prop
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: bet for a minimal gain minimal game, considering his money
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: that he had on his contract at that time with
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: the Charlotte Hornets. So your advice to Chauncey Billups and
• 45:36

• 45:39
