• 0:32
  Speaker 1: A game we were not planning on discussing too much,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: and here we are. We go where the stories take
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: us on the Ben Malers Show and our lead from
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Viva Las Vegas. Viva Las Vegas had a big F
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: one race in Vegas and that was over the weekend.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: And then they had an NFL game that featured two
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: morbid franchises, the Factory of Sadness Road Show visiting Sin
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: City for a one day, one day sore in Vegas. Now,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: why would this game get top billing here in hour
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: number three?
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: Why? Oh why?
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: All because of the Spaun of Dion, the spawn of Dion,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: the much ballyhood first start for everyone's favorite fifth round
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: draft pick currently playing in the NFL, Shedur Sanders making
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: his first appearance as QB number one from beginning of
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: the Cleveland going against Gino Smith.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: Oh my, what an epic quarterback matchup that was. Did
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: you watch? Of course you didn't watch it.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Well, maybe you watch it was regional coverage, but most
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: people watch multiple games, right you got that you pay
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: extra for that bougie YouTube thing.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: You watch all the games, So maybe not. Though no worries.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: This game was was in our rotation, was in our
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: rotation as Brown's rookie sherder Sanders.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: He did not have the sexiest of stat lines.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: He finished with two hundred nine yards passing in a
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: touchdown in his NFL starting debut for the team from Cleveland.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: And Miles Garrett. Miles Garrett, how's he doing? He's doing good?
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Good player, bad team. Good player, bad team, good player,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: bad team. Miles Garrett three of the ten sacks ten
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: sacks the Browns had against Gino Smith.
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: Oh God, does he sucked?
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Man?
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: Is he bad? Wow? Anyway, so that was the story.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: The Browns end up winning the game in the game
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: that really wasn't all that close, shockingly as you would
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: think that team would be close. Both teams stake, but
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: it really wasn't all that close. Browns are three to eight.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: They ended a three game skid mark for the Cleveland
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Browns there, and they started their forty second forty second
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: different quarterback since returning to the NFL in nineteen ninety nine.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: The old Cleveland Browns became the Baltimore Ravens. It's all confusing.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Sanders replaced fellow rookie Dylan Gabriel, who was in the
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: concussion protocol so it was not available, and in doing
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: so well, he ended shoulder. Sanders ended a seventeen game
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: losing streak for Cleveland quarterbacks, making their first start. We
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: had that at the end of last week. I think
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: that was the who Am I?
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: Game?
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Before the game, though, Shooter Sanders in the lead up
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: to the game, he said he wanted to show the
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Browns that he's who they've been looking for. Well, here's
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: a shoulter talking about the expectations, what he was looking
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: to accomplish.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: Here we go. What do you hope to.
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: Show against this Raiders defense, your teammates, yourself, and these
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: Browns fans with their play.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: Today, I'm who they've been looking for. Appreciate it. Okay,
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: thank you, thank you? Okay.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: That's a good jumping off point. Let us discuss the
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: question Shouldeur Sanders. As you heard there, he wanted to
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: show the Browns that he's who they've been looking for.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Did he do that?
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: Did he? Did he do that? All right? So I've
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: got on this one.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: I've got time capsule as tech, and we also have onion,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together and
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: we are gonna make the Baba Ganooche. We're gonna make
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: the Baba Ganooche. So my first thought here is that
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: this is a if. It's a sales pitch by should Sanders.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: The sales pitch.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: Went a little sideways. Well, they won the game. When
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: you're talking about what are you such a hater?
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Yeh shoulder Sanders showed Cleveland that he is not totally incompetent.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: He's still better at YouTube and TikTok and occasionally he
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: can find someone named Dylan Samson or Isaiah Bond on
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: a broken play and get a bunch of yards. Congratulations
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: on my scorecard, the malor scorecard, should Sanders, he made
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: two place, two place, and that means he's like every
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: other Browns quarterback. Occasionally it's the old line of a
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: blind squirrel finds a nut every once in a while, Well,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Shouldhur Sanders occasionally will find a big pass play. On
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: my scorecard, he had a fifty two yard pass play
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: and a sixty six yard pass play for a touchdown,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: And those are good highlights.
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: Those are nice highlights and all that stuff.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Outside of those plays, though, Shouldhur Sanders completed fifty percent
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: of the other passes that he attempted fifty percent averaged
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: five yards per pass attempt outside the two broken plays.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: So the rest of the time, this was a time
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: capsule game. Now what was the time capsule the time
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: capsule game, go back a few years. It felt like
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Tim Tebow watching Tim Tebow playing with the Malibu sunglasses.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: That's essentially what this was here, Tim Tebow time two
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: point zero is what it felt like.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: At a lot of hype.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: You got a guy get a lot of publicity here,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: a lot of hey, this guy's so good, Oh my god,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: I hadnt done it yet, And he got a lot
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: of hype, and then not a lot there, not a
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: lot of meat on the bone. And let's not forget
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: that Shader Sanders was not going against the two thousands.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Ray Lewis Ravens defense.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: He was not. He was not going against the legion of.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Boom defense, although they have Pete Carroll who put that
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: team together back in the day.
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: In Seattle. There were a couple of fireworks.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Kaboom, kurfui, a couple of fireworks, and then there were
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: some medicine balls he threw into the turf. There was
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: some of that. And let's not forget also that the Raiders,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: they have a middling defense. There's zero fear factor when
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: you talk about the Raiders defense in this game. And
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Shoulder's passer rating. Again, we're judging him based on the
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: full body of his work and we're not just saying, well,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: what about the two big pass plays, because okay, those
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: are broken place the consistent connecting on passes, driving the ball,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: leading the team down the field. He didn't do any
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: of that. He just didn't. There was none of that.
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: For Shuder Sanders.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: So outside of those two broken plays, he had a
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: forty one point six passer rating, which I'm told is
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: not good, and you don't need analytics to know that
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: generally stinks.
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: That's just kind of a way that it is.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: The Browns had two hundred and seventy two hundred and
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: seventy total yards, eleven first downs. Three of those were
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: gifted by penalty from the Raiders. That means the Browns
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: offense with Shude Sanders, by my computer life, they had
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: all of eight first downs that were not gifted to
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: them by incompetence of malfeasans by the Raiders. You're supposed
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: to be the future of the franchise, supposed to be
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: the future of the franchise, Shooter Sanders, and you're getting
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: with five yards of pass and you had eight first
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: downs in the game. That's generally not what you're looking for. Now,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: what you're looking for that is a pop gun offense
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: is what that is? Not even a water gun. That's
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: a pop gun offense by the Browns. So did Shooter
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Sanders prove that he's what the Browns are looking for?
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: That would be Ann with the Capitol Enn with the
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Capitol end.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: No, of course, not.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Bernie Kozar who just got a new liver. Bernie Kozar
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: could have gone out there in his sleep and would
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: have while ordering Uber eats from Femi who came down
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: from Minnesota, and still would have done at least as
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: well as that. The malor report card on Shooters.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: I'm not I'm not gonna be outraged. Am I gonna
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: give him an A? No, he's not an A, A, B, A, C,
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: D and F No, none of that.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: I give Shitara Sanders an I for incomplete.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: The report card is incomplete. I give an eye. Did
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: he drown? No, no, he didn't drown. He didn't drown.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: Did he swim No, not really. I wouldn't call that swimming.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: He floated. He had some water wings on, some floaties,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: and so that's good. He had the floaties. Good for him.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: And uh and and the rounds gotta win, which is
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: I guess exciting for them.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: They're happy about that.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: And I guess the lifeguard didn't really need to go
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: into the water too much. And so there's that.
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: And is he the QB one. We'll see about that now.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Meanwhile, a lot of news from the Raiders as they
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: made some headlines after the game, not any during the game.
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: On the Vegas side, the.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: Raiders said bye bye to offensive coordinator Chip Kelly and
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: don't let the door hit you where the Good Lord
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: split you as you're out, chip Kelly whack. What a
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: great gig for Chip Kelly. Holy crap, I'm so jealous
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: of chip Kelly. So chip Kelly fired hours after the
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: Raiders dropped to two and nine on the season, and
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: they lose to the Browns by a couple of touchdowns.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: So chip Kelly is the fall guy. Gotta have a
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: fall guy. Raiders made Chip Kelly the highest paid offensive
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: coordinator in the NFL this season, and the Raiders have
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: been not only a football team, they've been absolutely dismal
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: on offense.
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: How bad is it?
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: The loss to the Browns was their fifth straight, and
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: congratulations to Raider nation. You have clinched your fourth consecutive
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: losing season. And but wait, there's more, eighteenth losing season
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: since the year twenty oh two, which means, if you're
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: in your early twenties, your entire life the Raiders have sucked.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Like your entire life the Raiders material like. I'm kind
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: of old, and when I was a kid, the Raiders
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: were great. They won all the time, They had really
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: good teams every year, they were in the playoffs seemingly
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: every year. And now, god, they bad Raiders through eleven games.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Through eleven games, their offense is ranked thirty if in
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: the NFL. I'm told that's not good. Two hundred and
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: sixty nine yards per game, that is ranked thirty first
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: in the NFL. They're averaging less than sixteen points per game.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: So the question what intrigues you? What intrigues you the
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: most about Chip Kelly being whacked as the Raiders offensive coordinator.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: So the thing that intrigues me the most is the
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: Tom Brady part of this story. He is getting a
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: full pardon by the other elites in the media. We're
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: not part of the mainstream. We do an overnight show.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: We've been very critical of Tom Brady. He deserves it.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: He's done a terrible job. He's the Michael Jordan of
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: NFL owners. He said, well, he only owns a small
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: part of it. Well, Mark Davis didn't know what he's doing.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: Mark Davis is like, listen, I just want to eat PF.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: Chang's and I want to date younger women and play
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: slot machines at the airport.
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: Leave me alone.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: And Tom, why don't you this is your baby, why
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: don't you run this thing? And Tom's like, Okay, I'll
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: run it. And so Tom Brady's acting like an Aztec here.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: He's doing the human sacrifice.
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: Is what he's doing, and.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: We saw the fact that he does own just a
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: small part of the Raiders, but it's enough where he's
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: the general manager by proxy. He hired his old college
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: buddy to be the general manager of the Raiders and
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: take care of a lot of the day to day stuff,
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: but any big decisions tom Brady's involved in. So you've
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: got that tom Brady handpicked the coach and the quarterback
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: who appeared to be washed up. The coach and the
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: quarterback at the same time there, and so you.
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: Look around, and first it was.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: The the special teams guy, as tom Brady's standing there
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: every few weeks now and he's dropkicking someone in the
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: actual black hole.
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: It was the special teams coach a couple weeks back.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: Now it's the offensive coordinator, Chip Kelly, as he's out.
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: So Chip Kelly is gone. He's gone.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: And so if you work on this staff with the Raiders,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: keep your resume updated and keep the car running in
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: the parking lot there at the Raider facility in Henderson,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: the Grim Reaper wears uggs and has a big basket
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: of TB twelve electrolytes. If you want some of those,
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: he'll give chip Kelly was the highest paid offensive coordinator
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: in football this year, and the Raiders are thirtieth in offense,
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: thirty first in scoring. That is a refund situation. And
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: chip Kelly's got two more years at twelve million totals,
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: so six million a year not to coach the Raiders.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: Man and I mentioned the average a little over fifteen
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: points a game the Raiders. That makes you qualified. If
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: chip Kelly wants to coach the Iowa Hawkeyes, he can
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: coach Iowa and the Big Ten. That's about Iowa Hawkeye territory.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: Fifteen points per game. There as a low blow. I'm
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: pretty sure chip Kelly did not forget how to coach.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: He was part of the Ohio State staff that won
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: the championship last year.
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: And with Vegas. You look around the room there with Vegas,
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: and he is attempting to polish turds and guess what
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: spider alert? Spider alert.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Chip Kelly's trying to polish turds and there's supply chain
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: issues at the turd polish factory, so he's run out
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: of turd polish unfortunately. There and the theme song for
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: the Raiders this season, as bad as it's gotten, is
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: a Toby Keith Classic the Wacky Tobacci because a lot
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: of those guys with the Raiders are smoking the Wacky
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: Tobacci right now. Chip Kelly's gone, the scoreboard hasn't changed,
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: and they had to have a new fall guy. Have
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: a new fall guy. The Raider assistants, they must be
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: checking their pulse hourly there if you're an assistant coach
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: with the Raiders, the Silver and Black disease remains undefeated.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: And is this going to be a one and done
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: situation for Pete Carroll? Are they going to remove Pete Carroll?
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: They've already undermined Pete.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: They got rid of there's the tripod, right, You've got
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: the coach, but then you've got the tripod.
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: You've got the.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: Defensive coordinator, the offensive coordinator, the special teams, coach coordinators.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: So they've gotten rid of two of the three. Two
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: of the three they've gotten rid of. That means that
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: Pete Carroll is on the short list. Then he would
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: be the next guy to go. Now, final thought, staying
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: with the game and the Raiders and the Browns. Not
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: only did Chip Kelly get whacked, the man that's responsible,
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: the coach killer, as we like to call him, Gino
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: Smith there totally incompetent. Camera's caught in over his head,
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: in over his head, drowning Raider quarterback Geno Smith, who
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: decided he had had enough. The man who's known legendary
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: mister softy, Geno Smith cannot handle any criticism, and he
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: decided he wanted to clap back at some fans that
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: were giving him the business after the humiliation situation, losing
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: it home by two touchdowns, getting sacked ten times Geno Smith.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: The sack is a quarterback stat So as Smith was
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: shane his way off the field there in Vegas, the
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: fans were serenading him, goofing on him, making fun of him.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: And as he was making his way to the tunnel well,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: Gino Smith was caught on candid camera and he was
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: flipping off some of the heckling Raider fans there. You
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: can see him doing it in slow mo.
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: His video that's gone viral. Even our friend Inka Terror
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: who's blind, has seen that.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: Question, how do you read how do you read Geno
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: Smith and his one finger salute one finger salute to
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: some some Raider fans, not Browns fans, Raider fans. So
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: they been saying they've been saying over the years. The
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: fish rots from the head down. In the case of
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: the Las Vegas Raiders, it rots from their thirty seven
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: and a half million dollars a year.
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: Quarterback on the way down.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of brain rot there with Geno Smith
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: hyper sensitive.
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: You talk about.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: Onion, he's onion skinned. Gino overly emotional. He's for klemped
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: sacked ten times. You know how bad a quarterback you
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: have to be to be sacked ten times? Like you
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: should you should go get another job if you're that
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: bad at your job.
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: But what about the other julyne Oh my god.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: Shut up, you don't know ball. You don't know ball.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: Ten sacks and then flip your own fans off as
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: you're coming off the field. That's your franchise quarterback right there.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: That's the Raiders, And that's the face that Pete Carroll
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: decided that he wanted to go into his bunker. He said,
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: I want that guy. He's the ultimate bunker buster, and
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: Geno Smith he is so Gino looks like the world's
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: most expensive crash test dummy as he continues to amaze
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: on a weekly basis. Here as the pressure is mounting,
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: and when the pressure mounts, Gino just gifts raps. So
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: the sack Browns have a good defense. This is a
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: historical game for the Cleveland Browns, and so you look
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: around the sack again. As a quarterback statistic, he isn't unlikely, unlucky.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: Gino is slow. And there's another quarterback who's not very
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: good but avoids sacks now, Davis Mills. We saw him
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: with the Texans back on Thursday, same crappy offensive line
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: in Houston, which everyone said is terrible. Just get get
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: rid of the ball, quicker, throw the ball away, and
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: you play a clean game. Don't get sacked one time.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: Not one time do you get sacked. Not one time
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: do you get sacked. And then in this game, well
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: yeah ten times. Because Gino doesn't know what the hell
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: he's doing on a lot of these plays, and it's
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: a shame. You hold the ball like you're waiting for
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: for Shakespeare to finish writing Act three, and you're like,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: I gotta he's writing it on the ball, So I'm
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: just gonna wait for Shakespeare to finish. Well, Shakespeare's dead,
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. I'm gonna wait for him to finish.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: I want him to finish and the moment right now,
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: in this moment, we worry about today's show. You look
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: at Gino Smith, who is thirty first in the NFL,
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: thirty first in the NFL among quarterbacks. He's behind Davis Mills,
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: the aforementioned Davis Mills, barely ahead of Dylan Gabriel who
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: was taken out with a concussion. And so Gino's not
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: just playing bad, that would be okay. He's becoming a
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: coach killer. As we mentioned previously, the Raiders getting rid
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: of some coaches here, and the middle finger that was
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: not really for the fans so much as that middle
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: finger was for Chip Kelly. Go to the guillotine. Chip,
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: your number one in line at the g. So the
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: Raiders thought they hired a savior and Pete Carroll and
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: they had paid big money for Chip Kelly and all
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: this stuff, and now they have a thirty seven and
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: a half million guy, a quarterback who can't play, who's
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: an emotional landmine in Geno Smith. And superstars run all
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: of these pro sports leagues. And when your star detonates
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: in slow mo, that's a no go. That's a no go.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: You don't have a quarterback, you a lot of turbulence.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of turbunance there with Gino Smith.

• 21:32
  Speaker 1: So our lead this hour, don't bury the lead, my
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: man heart or not. So the final game of the
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: weekend in the NFL, it is all over, just a
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: couple days off in the right back add it on Thanksgiving,
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: so it's just a brief pause in the NFL continues.
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: But our lead this.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: Hour from Santa Clara, not San Francisco. Santa Clara That
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: is where the forty nine ers play their home games.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: Forty five miles or so as a crow flies south
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: of San francisc coach only take you about three hours
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: with traffic, so this was the site of the final
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: game of the weekend. There came to an end. The
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: curtain came down. You had Bryce Young and the Panthers
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: skinning in to the Bay Area for a wrestling match
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: with Brock Party.
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: Oh my aching Towe.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: Well he's back. Brock Party and the forty niners. Perty
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: missed a bunch of time with a messed up toe,
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: but he's back. This game was billed as the Christian
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: McCaffrey Revenge Game. It's all about the revenge. Did you
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: watch No, okay, you didn't miss anything. I'm not gonna
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: sit here and light you. Oh you should have seen
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: this game. Oh my god, No, I'm jealous. I mean
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: I did get paid to watch it. In theory, plausibly
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: got paid to watch it. But man alive. So Christian McCaffrey,
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: he hits the billing. I think it was his greatest game.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: He had one hundred and forty two yards from scrimmage,
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: touched the ball a ton ended up with one hundred
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: and forty two yards from scrimmage, scored a touchdown in
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: his first matchup against the team that he played for
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: that gave him away. They give him away, they got
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: draft picks, scratcherr tickets, but that was the deal. A
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: couple of years back, McCaffrey went from Carolina to San
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: Francisco after he got paid by the Panthers and then
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: proceeded to get hurt on a regular basis, so his
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: first game there three years ago. Niners haven't won any
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: championships with Christian McCaffrey, and he's been very productive for them.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: The Niners get the ugly twenty to nine win the
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: final over the Panthers. McCaffrey gets the Niners with his
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: performance to eight and four on the season. They were
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: able to overcome the systemic and competence of Brock Party,
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: who threw not one, not two, but three interceptions earlier.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: Holy Ernesto in the Bay our guy there, big forty
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: nine er fan not happy with Rock Party, but they
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: are still in playoff position. The Niners with that eighth
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: win heading into the stretch run of the regular season,
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: and down the stretch we go in the NFL. Now,
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: the better story is in the losing locker room. Carolina
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: had an opportunity, somehow, some way, Carolina had a shot
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: to move into the penthouse of the outhouse, which is
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: the NFC South. If they had won this game, ifs
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: and butts were candy and nuts, it'd be Christmas every day.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: It's not so. Bryce Young went out there and better
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: story in the losing locker room?
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: How did he do?
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: Bryce Young failing yet again, yet again to get the
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: job done. The former number one.
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: Overall traffick had one hundred and sixty.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: Nine yards, barely had that one touchdown, and not one
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: but two interceptions. That is a good jumping off points
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: to Let us discuss the question, how do you evaluate
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: Bryce Young's performance for Carolina in a game that was
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: certainly winnable. It's not like the Niners were that great.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: The game was right there for the taking in Carolina
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: unable to take it. So my views on this, I've
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: got Panda, Express, Zoo Animal and Express pros and we
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: will combine all of these things together, and we are
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: gonna put the biscuit in the basket, is what we're
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: gonna do.
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: Just put the biscuit in the basket.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: So hey, we'll start with this, the Carolina Panthers watching
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: them play, and I don't watch every game, and I
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: flip around.
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: They usually play in the early TV.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: Window on Sunday, But watching the Carolina Panthers play, it's
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: like a Nantucket's sleigh ride watching them play. They hooked
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: the whale. They thought they hooked the whale, Bryce Young,
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: and now they're getting dragged every week.
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: Every week they're getting dragged.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: And this was another opportunity to prove the haters wrong
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: and prove that you knew what you were doing. Instead,
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: he proved them right. He proved them right with this performance.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: It was an I game. Everyone was watching. Everyone was
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: watching against a battle scarred, weather beaten defense. They did
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: have Fred Warner and Nick Bosa in the stadium. They
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: happened to be watching while eating nachos and popcorn in
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: luxury boxes.
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: They showed him on the TV. They were not playing,
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: They were.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: Not playing in the game, and the Niners brock Perty
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: tried to hand the game to Carolina.
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: Try to give him the game. Here's the game. We
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: don't want the game. Take the guy, take the guy.
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: And what happened?
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: Well, the quarterback there, Bryce Young's like, you know what,
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: it's very plays, very plout of you. Try to give
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: us the game. You know what, we don't really want
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: that big road win. No, we why would we want that?
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: To Come on?
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: Bryce, Now, we're good, We're here's here's another punt. We're
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: gonna punt the ball. Knock yourself out, enjoyed the ball.
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: My god, what a debacle, What an absolute debacle watching Bryce.
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: Young try to play quarterback.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: And then, as many it pointed out, he's very robotic.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: You can tell he's been schooled. I don't know whether
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: it was Nick Saban or the people that are writing
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: his coattails making their living off his performance. And you know,
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: his posse of people that are around him. All these
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: athletes have groups of people that are hangers on, and
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: somebody gave him the sports cliche one oh one rhetoric.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: I saw his news. Gonna be very robotic is the
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: word I keep going back to. Anyway, here's a little
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: taste of Bryce Young talking about the trip back to
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: North Carolina.
• 27:37
  Speaker 5: Playing right back's gonna suck. I don't even know if
• 27:39
  Speaker 5: we have the twenty four hour luxury now when it's
• 27:41
  Speaker 5: you know, we're all competitors. It sucks to have this
• 27:44
  Speaker 5: outcome again. We don't have luxuries to think about big picture.
• 27:48
  Speaker 5: You think that that's that's not a good recipe for
• 27:51
  Speaker 5: this league. Everyone demands our most intention so we'll fill
• 27:53
  Speaker 5: the page and go next week.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: You know, he reminds me of a zombie. He's saying
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: thing that you would determine or write. She don't feel
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: like it's legit, like you know what I'm saying. You
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: ever talked to him his phony. I do a podcast
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: on the weekends. I used to do a lot of
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: interviews on the podcast, and then I realized almost all
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: of them are terrible, So what am I doing wasting
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: my time? So I stopped doing them. But I had
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: a lot of people on over the years on the podcast.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: One of the ones that stand out is this guy
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: named Tim Donnahey. Now I don't know if you know
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: who Tim Donnie is or not. Tim Donahey is the
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: guy that was fixing NBA games and got caught. By
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: the way, I'm sure he's not the only one as
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: far as referees, he just happened to be the one
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: that got busted years ago, and he wrote a book
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: about it. There have been documentaries about Tim Donnie. So
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: I had him on my podcast, very excited to get
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: him on, like this is big Tim Donnie. This guy's
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: big scannal what the big scandals of my life? And
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: this guy was a central figure in it, involving like
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: the mob. And so we had him on and asked
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: him a bunch of questions and he just was lifeless.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: He answered the questions like a zombie. And that I
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: watched Bryce Young interview and it's like, there's no real
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: I just just like, here's what I'm supposed to say.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna say it. I'm not gonna put any feel
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: you know, because I don't believe any of it. And
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: that's that you talk about blowing an opportunity. I mean,
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: this was it. And here's a refresher course, by the way,
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: on Bryce Young. Bryce Young is not a super nova.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: He is not a super nova. He's the Panda Express
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: Sweet and sour chicken is what he is. He's a
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: that's that's that's essentially what he is. Right, And you
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: think you're getting something flavorful. You going to Panda Express
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: and I used to eat there all the time back
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: and they go in there, Panta get that you get
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: that sweet and sour chicken and then you find out
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: that it was made two hours ago. It's lukewarm, it's
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: soggy in five minutes, and you're like, holy crap, what happened?
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: Consistently inconsistent. Yeah, so a week ago, somehow the Atlanta
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: Falcons should be sent to the Canadian Football We should
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: trade the Falcons for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. They allowed
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: Bryce Young to throw for four hundred and forty eight
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: yards in the previous game, this week one hundred and
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: sixty nine yards. Now, we did expect this to happen, right,
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: We expected him to have a worse performance. Of course,
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: because he had a career game, it gonna be worse.
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: And this is more of the standard performance for the
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: quarterback there Bryce Young. By the way, that is a
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: sixty two percent decline from his previous performance. The two interceptions, now,
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: brock Perdy Gift wrapped three possessions in a row ended
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: with interceptions for the forty nine ers in the first half,
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: three straight.
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: That is literally, as we said, giving you the game.
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: And what did Carolina do.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: They turned those three interceptions into three points one field goal.
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: That's it. That's all that's criminal. In fact, this entire game.
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: Was an FCC warning obscenity in decency and profanity watching
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: this particular game. And hey, we were never really in
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: on this guy, the little fella. We're definitely out on
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: the quarterback, Bryce Young. If you haven't figured out that
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: part of the story. This and the Carolina Panthers, they
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: swung big, They traded for the wrong guy. They gave
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: up the family Jewels to the Bears to get their
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: hands on this other worldly quarterback, and they ended up
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: getting a country bumpkin.
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: They didn't want a country bumpkin.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: They got a country bumping that is regular mouthfeasance with
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: him out there, quarterback that you get in Carolina. They
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: need competence, and they've got a lot of confusion, a
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: lot of confusion with him out there. And you cannot
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: have a quarterback, cannot have it who plays real sweet
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: one week and then sour the next two or three.
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: And that's what happened.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: You need a driver, got to have a driver, right,
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: You gotta have a driver, and you got a passenger.
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: You got somebody to buy. Ticking the back of the bus,
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: high pick, low impact. That's pretty much it. And the
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: Panthers now that they have to hit the flea market,
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: they have to get either another reject from somebody else
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: or draft somebody and start this whole thing over.
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: This is not the guy, and you're not gonna pay him.
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: Why would you pay him?
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: He sucks, So there's no reason to pay him, and
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: you're gonna have to move on.
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: Meanwhile, on the other side, the San Francisco side of things,
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: So what is your appraisal here's the question, what is
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: your appraisal of the other quarterback brock Purdy and his
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: play for the Niners in this Monday night game. So
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: I have an unpopular opinion, unpopular opinion alert, unpopular opinion.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: All right, here's my unpopular opinion. We just slayed Bryce Young.
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: How bad Bryce Young was? Brock Purdy was more humiliating.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: He actually was worse than Bryce Young. If that's possible
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: that brock Purdy could be worse than Bryce Young.
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: He was.
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: And here's why Bryce Young is still in the beta
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: testing mode. He's in the beta testing mode, still running
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: on the pre release software. They have not signed him,
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: they have not given him the bag in Carolina, Brockhurdy,
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: brock Purty Hurdy rock Perdy Forudian slip. Brock Party got
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: the loot, he got the train heist from the forty
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: nine ers, so he's not the trial version. They've signed
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: up for the full subscription model. The forty nine ers
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: with brock Party, John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan, the smartest
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: people in the room, did the full background check. They
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: dated for a while, had a cute little romance. It
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: was wonderful, puppy dog eyes, the whole thing, litt Netflix
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: and chill. They were friends with benefits for a while,
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: and they Niner said, let's put a ring on it.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: So they put a ring on it. And they gave
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: him one hundred and eighty two million. They gave that
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: guy Dredyo Ballad one hundred eight too big, I can't play.
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: They gave a guy who can't play all right, too
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: Billy even Terry.
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: In England, the big forty nine er fans crying right now,
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: Oh my god.
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: Forty one million dollars per per year.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: He gonna go off. That's where he is right now.
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: Forty one million dollars a year for this guy. And
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: what do they get if brock Purty was a zoo animal,
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: if he was a zoo animal. What would rock Perty be.
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: He would be a donkey, but he would be a
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: swamp donkey, if you know what I'm saying.
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: And man, did that look like a forty one million
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: dollars a year quarterback? I don't think so.
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: One hundred and sixty nine yards and three picks I
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: jotted down. I was writing some notes on my end
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: my notes thing on my phone when I was watching
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: the game. And he should have had three more interceptions.
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: The Panthers dropped two, and I'll say two for sure.
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: The third other one was iffy, but they could have
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: six interceptions of the game. Panthers defensively, they're not that great.
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: They're okay, they're not that great. And they turned him
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: into a sock puppet brock Party, and my god, he
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: was like he was daring Carolina, Hey, pick me off.
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna just throw it. I'm gonna like I say,
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: I'm Stevie Meatballs, I'm gonna be blind. Just chuck the
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: ball up. We'll see what happens here. And so the
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: ugly truth is, and people don't want to say it,
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: brock Party is just a system guy. If everything's great
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: around him, he's fine. Well, everything's not great around him
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: right now. He's clearly not fine. The Niners, they were
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: thinking they were gonna get a Ferrari, They ended up
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: getting a Kia. They paid for a Ferrari, they paid
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: a Ferrari price, so they got a Kia. And he's
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: just the middle of the pack guy, that's all he is.
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: And now they're seemingly stuck with him unless they can
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: convince another dumb team like the Jets of somebody to
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: take brock Purty off their hands. Good luck, all sales
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: are final in terms of the contract. The Panthers defense
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: making brock Purty look bedraggled, a big draggled Brock. That
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: should be his nickname, be draggled brock rattled and all
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: of that, like he was searching for his Stuffy in
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: the middle of the game. I need my support, Stuffy.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: Where's my stuffy?
• 35:53
  Speaker 6: Uh?
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: And this is who he is. That's that's that's what
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: we tried to warn The Niners say.
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: Oh, you're just a rampant. Well you do the Overnight
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: show you. I'm not gonna listen to you.
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: I tried to tell you, okay, I tried to help
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: you out. Did you listen. No, did the Niners listen? No, well,
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: good luck. I'm actually happy you didn't listen. And I
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: laugh at you. I laugh at you because this ain't
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: the guy. This ain't the guy. You're not the guy, Poalp,
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: You're not. It's the boondoggle by the Bay, the boondoggle
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: by the Bay with Brock Party.
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: That's what it is. Here.
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: We have seen better return on investment by sir scratch
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: Off going on and buying seven thousand Scratcher tickets. You
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: get more bang for your buck. Okay, we've seen that.
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: Party's not overrated.
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: He's not.
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: He's not overrated. He's just poorly rated and overpaid, is
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: what he is.
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: Meanwhile, last word, we go to the broadcast booth on
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: a B. See Robert Salah, the defensive coordinator of the
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: forty nine ers. Now, if you didn't know Robert sala
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: was the forty nine ers defensive coordinator, you knew everything
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: about him by the end of the broadcast. Okay, they
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: featured him. He was the star of the broadcast. They
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: showed him, they gave him more screen time. Robert Salah
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: the former Jets coach than Kyle Shanahan, the actual head coach,
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: of you know, the NFL team in northern California. So
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: the question what did you take away from the forty
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: nine ers defensive coordinator Robert Sala getting the spotlight on
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: Monday Night Football? So the ABC broadcast turned into the
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: Robert Sala Showcase. It was like a job fare for
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: Robert Sala. They showed him over and over and over
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: and over, and Joe Buck and Troy Aikman, the Fox
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: refugees over there at NBC. They were full slobber chops,
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: Robert slapper slaber. They gave him the manny in the
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: first half and the petty in the second half.
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: Very nice.
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: It sounded like they were lobbying for this guy to
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: get another head coaching job. It felt like an Express
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: Pros commercial that we do every once in a while
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: here on Fox Sports Radio, not a football game.
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: Oh look at Roberts.
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: You knew that they had crossed the rubicon when Carolina
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: missed a field goal and they got a reaction shot
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: of Roberts South.
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: He's he's not a special teams coach. He's the defensive.
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: Coordinator, and they wanted a reaction shot of the defensive coordinator.
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: When Carolina fed up a field goal.
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: Hello, what are we doing, dummies, dumb dumb?
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: What are you doing, dum dumb.
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: He's the defensive coordinator, all right, listen, we get it. Sala.
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: He was on TV more than brock Purty in this game,
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: and he was fist pumping and chest bumping and gyrating
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: and all of that, like he'd taken three smelling salts
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: or snorted something. I don't know why, but he was
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: jumping up and down. And they've done this before. They
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: did this when he was with San Francisco before, the
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: same thing. Right, the legend of Robert Sala, The legend
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: of Robert Salah, Animated celebrations, awkward sideline interactions, miked up
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: meme material. He's being become over his coaching career. He's
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: a sideline spectacle, is what he is. He's a walking
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: gift factory, Robert Salad. When he's on there coaching the
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: forty nine ers defensively, you'd think with that kind of
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: television time that he's got Sean mcvaighlit credentials and just amazing.
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: Then you read the fine print. Let me see it.
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: So he coached, let me see, fifty six games with
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: the Jets and had a three point fifty eight winning percentage.
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: I don't think that's good. Never made the playoffs, not once.
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: Was an abject failure as head coach of the Jets.
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: So there is that now.
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: Regardless, the broadcast on ABC treated him like he was
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: the next hot thing in coaching, big thing and Buck
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: and Aikman right there on the broadcast they were greasing
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: the skids for a second act. Give this man or
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: another opportunity, and NFL teams, you got to take a
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: look at this guy.
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: That was the vibe. That was the vibe they were
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: giving out.
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: And it's like Kyle Shannon, the actual coach, looked like
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: an extra in the movie.
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: It was so absurd.
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: Am I the only one that noticed this? But maybe
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: I'm the only one that notices. I just it was
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: one of those things. The game was sucked, and I
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: was like, I'm watching the game, like, Bud, this really stinks, man.
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: And then they kept showing salad, like why a they're
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: showing him he sucked as a head coach.
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: What are they doing?
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: And the tipping point and I was gonna bring this
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: up later, but the tipping point was when they missed
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: the Caroline missed the field goal which went even close,
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: and then they cut to a reaction shot from Robert Sala.
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: It's so perfect. He's even a special teams coach. They
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: cut to a reaction shot. It's great. He sells the emotion,
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: he sells it.
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: He must be a great guy in those production meetings,
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: very photogenic on TV. And there is clearly a shortage
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: of good coaches. So who the hell knows? Would it
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: shocked me if Robert Salah we got another opportunity somewhere
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: because it's.
• 41:01
  Speaker 3: Well, it just needs a second chance. You got to
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: have a second chance.
• 41:04
