  Speaker 1: Oh, what is going on? Happy Christmas Eve to you.
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Hope your early Wednesday morning is going swimmingly. Lots to do,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: lots to do. This is not like a mail it
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: in final hour here, not at all. We are off
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: and running over here. I got a video surveillance footage
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: of the DK Metcalf scenario, soap opera, whatever you want
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: to call it, compliments of Loraine. I've got some thoughts
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: on that. Oh, I had pushback on my Lamar take
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: had pushba. I'll get to that tweet. I think it's
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: a bad take, but you know, we'll see. We'll compare
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: notes that come in your way in just a couple
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: of minutes. Here, Hey, we are broadcasting live from the
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio studios. And for over forty years, tirek
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: has been helping customers find the right tires for how,
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: what and where they drive, shipped fast and free back
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: by free road hazard protection with convenient in elation options
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: like mobile tireinstallation, tire rack dot Com. The way tire
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: buying should be. I didn't have to buy tires. I
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: wish I would have had to buy tires, but I
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: bent my rim doing a little off roading, hitting a
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: pothole yesterday. So it's gonna cost me five hundred and
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: thirty two American dollars.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: Not good.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Not good. Hopefully I can win this confidence pool. Huh, Coop,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: you know if I could win this confidence pool, then
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: boom presto, everything's magically. I'm glad you asked that, Lorena.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: So the confidence pool, it is an evil pool. We'll
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: start off with that. It's it's gonna make you each
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Sunday say why did I pick this team? Or why
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: did I put this many points on that team? Right,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: that's what you do every Sunday. It's a great time, Loraina,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: you're missing out.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: It sounds awesome immediately.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so every game like this is a full week, right,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: like sixteen games, so you pick the winning side. Right,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: it's with the points spread every game, so you pick
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: let's say whatever, it's uh, what's a good example. Okay,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: let's say Minnesota. Minnesota is hosting the Lions, and let's
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: I don't know what the confidence pool has, but let's
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: say the Lions are favored by five and a half points, right,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: So you're like, okay, if you're going with the Lions,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: they have to win by at least six points right, right.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: If you go with the Vikings, they can't lose by
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: more than five points. So you pick Lions or Vikings,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: and then the real challenge begins. Now you have to
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: rank that selection with confidence points. So sixteen games this week,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: full week, sixteen points is the maximum amount of points
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: you can put on a single NFL game, right, So
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: you put your your games you feel real confidence.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: So the ones that you feel the best on you
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: put your extra confident power points.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: That's right, Okay. You gotta get your double digit point games, correct,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: That's where that's where the real money is, right, Okay,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: you can't be missing your fourteen point game here, Loraine,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: you can't be missing your twelve point games. A lot
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: of points right there. Think about your twelve point game.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: You could miss your one, two, three, four, like you know,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: and it's still I gonna equal twelve, right.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Breeze take them.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I get your twelve. Gotta get your twelve, right, Lorena,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Gotta do it, gotta get the double digit point game.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: How does that normally go for you?
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Brian? It went well last week? You know, I'm I
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: don't like checking the leader board. I know I'm up there,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: like I accidentally saw it a week ago when I
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: was fourth.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: I was doing very well this year.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: I don't want to know, Coop, don't tell me. Don't
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: tell me where I'm at. I don't want to jinx it.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: I'm doing alright, Loraina, Like I've got a fighting chance
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: to win some money in this freaking thing, as long
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: as the wheels don't fall off the tracks these last
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: two weeks, which you know, the dent in my wallet
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: do too.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: I was gonna say, if you're looking at your first wheel.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: Might not be a good example.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So I don't know. Hopefully I have a good
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: final weeks. I think Week eighteen is always insanely tricky
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: because it's just weird.
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Week eighteen. Next week is just strange. There's gonna be
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: some weird scenarios where, yeah, this team just said screw it,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: let's put this quarterback in there to see what he
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: can do. And you're like, oh gosh, this is a
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: rough call. So I think Week seventeen they call it
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: in golf, right, they call like Saturday moving day, and
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: this is moving day. Week seventeen, I think is moving week.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: You want to have a really good Week seventeen, so
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: you don't have to depend on week eighteen to make
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: your money, because week eighteen is always a little tricky. Really, goofy.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: So my wife is forty four spots better than me
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: and the overall standings, and I could.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Her go nice, shout out cash.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: She doesn't know anything.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Oh dude, hey, welcome to the NFL.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: How dare you say that your wife is ahead of
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: you and she doesn't know anything? Maybe you think you
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: know too much?
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Hi?
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: You ever think about that?
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: Relaxlerena. I got you, cat, I got you.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Very nice. Yeah, where are you? Coop? You do you
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: feel like saying? What place you're in?
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: Is it bade?
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Good? Lord?
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: Coop?
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: What has happened this year?
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Hey, man, I thought I sucked all year. I
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: really did. I'm like, I'm like, you know, five hundred
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: most weeks, I'll be like eight and eight, seven and seven,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: depending on how many games there are.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: You must do a really good job of assigning your points.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Then I don't know, man, Like last week, I was
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: eight and eight, but I got every double digit game
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: correct except one. I missed my fourteen point game, but
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: I got sixteen, fifteen, thirteen, twelve, ten, twelve, eleven, ten,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: I skipped eleven. I got all those right, and so
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: I had a good week. I started off horrible, by
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: the way, too. I missed the first three games. How
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: disgusting is.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: You said you were eight and eight.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: I think I was eight and eight last week. Yeah,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: and I had a really good week. I don't know.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: I got the double digit point games, right.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: No, you had an okay week.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: It was okay. I mean it was fine. I'll take
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: it all day for.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: Luke six, first three game, sixty ninth place.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, hey, there you go. Nice. It's better than
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: how it started. I missed. I had fourteen points on Seattle,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: and they're minus a point and a half. Like sometimes
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: the confidence pool, they have stale lines. You can take
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: advantage of that. I thought it would be like Seattle
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: plus a point and a half, but it wasn't. It
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: was minus a point and a half.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah I was. I was nine and seven and you
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: got ten more points than I did.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah. See, like how you how you place these points?
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: It makes all the difference. Man, It's all about that. Hopefully,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Like ideally you'd have a really good record. You want
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: to be you know, if you can get to double
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: digit wins in a week. You could get to eleven
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: twelve wins in a week, you're gonna have a good
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: week most likely. But if you have one of those
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: nine win eight win weeks, it's all about the confidence points.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: You got to get those high point games right or
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: it's going to be a disaster. But yeah, I missed.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: I missed the first game, which was the Seahawks. They somehow,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: some way tied the game. They're down thirty to fourteen.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Sam Darnold's throwing picks left and right. Next thing you know,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: it's tied. They're going to overtime. Look like they had
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: an interception in overtime and you're like, oh, they're probably
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: going to cover if they get this pick, and it
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: was the right call, it was incomplete. Next thing you know,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Puka Nakua is in the end zone again, and you're like, well,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: I just lost that one. That's fourteen points gone. And
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: then I had I had eight points on the Packers. Dude,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: that was disgusting. That was a bad loss. And so
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: I started off zero to three this week. So to
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: end up with like a respectable point told, I'll take
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: that all day, absolutely, So high stakes on the confidence pool. Uh.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: By the way, it's funny. I was looking at the
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: upcoming schedule here. So JJ McCarthy, the Vikings quarterback, he's
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: gonna miss this week's game. They play on Saturday. They
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: are hosting the Lions, and there's no that's gonna be
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: on Christmas Day on Thursday. So I'm getting my days
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: all mixed up. I said earlier that it was going
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: to be on Saturday. I believe it's on Thursday. It's
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: on Christmas Day. Got that triple header? You're not mixed day? Yeah,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: I'm not mixed up. You know exactly where you are?
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Where am i Indiana? Back home again for the holidays. Yeah,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: so it'll be on Christmas Day, Lions at the Vikings. No,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Jj McCarthy. And what's what's interesting to me, Like, we
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: do have sound? Do you have that, Lorena? Do you
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: have the the Kevin O'Connell I just sent it to
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: Coop while we were already.
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: Give me two seconds, I'll have it right here.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Okay, beautiful. Yeah, because Kevin O'Connell, he mentioned this about
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: JJ's fractured hand, gave an update on what's going on here.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: He is here is koc take it away to give.
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: You guys an update, JJ McCarthy. We did continue to
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: get further imaging beyond the initial X ray and beyond
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: even the initial MRI, got some further imaging and it
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: was discovered he does have a very very small hairline
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: fracture that was discovered in his hand. We are not
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: expecting to have him this week. I do not think
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: this is anything that will require surgery kind of recovery.
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: He's kind of similar to a bone bruce, but obviously
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: there is a small hairline fracture in there. And we'll
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: keep you guys posted about his availability next week.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: Okay, so no JJ McCarthy on Christmas Day against the Lions. Instead,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: it is Max Brosmer, yet again expected to start. And
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: what I took away from this is if you look
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: at the Vikings and how bad of a season it's been, right,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: brutal season, JJ McCarthy. He starts off bad, then has
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: a really good quarter against the Bears in week two.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: Remember that right away the beginning of the season, and
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: he brings him back, they win the game. It's this
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: big win at the time, and then shortly after he's
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: back to being bad again. He looks rough. Now we
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: have Carson Wentz is in there for a little bit.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy's banged up. My gosh, this is a fiasco.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: I guess it was Week one against the Bears. Vikings
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: got that win, and the next week he gets banged up.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy gets banged up against the Falcons. Now he's out.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: Now he got Carson Wentz in there. Oh my gosh.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Now man, JJ McCarthy comes back a little bit later
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: in the season and it's bad and it looks rough
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: and he's hurt again. Now we have Max Brosmer come
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: in against the Seahawks. They get shut out by the Seahawks.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: Brosmer throws the worst interception all season long by far,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: kind of like a no look trying to get rid
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: of the ball, throws it right to a Seattle defender,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: pick six. Just a disaster for the Vikings, right, horrible season.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: They're seven and eight and they host the Lions, who
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: are eight and seven. You know what I mean. Like,
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: as awful as the Viking season has been, they are
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: one win worse than the Lions. They're like living on
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: the same block this season, the Vikings and Lions. That's
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: wild to me. How much worse the Viking season feels,
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: at least to me, I think a lot of people
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: would agree the Viking season feels way worse than the Lions.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: The Vikings are seven and eight, Lions are eight and seven.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: There's another game like that that I think it feels
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: way worse than it actually is. My poor, pathetic, reeling Dolphins, Right,
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins have been rough this season. They what they
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: started off, it's just a house of horrors. What's their record? Okay,
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: lost loss loss win loss loss loss. They start off
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: one in six, okay, and it's worse than that if
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: you can believe that. The last loss, like it was
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Week seven. So they fall to one in six by
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: getting punked by the Browns thirty one to six. Remember
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: two was throwing all those interceptions against the Browns. So
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: the Dolphins are one and six. They rallied. They win
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: a couple of games against Suckey teams. They did beat
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: the Bills. They smacked around the Bills. That was a
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: good win. But then they beat the Commanders, they beat
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: the Saints, they beat the Jets. There is a bunch
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: of like who cares. Then they get crushed by the Steelers.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: They get rolled by the Bengals this last week they
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: benched to it. It's been a disaster, right, Well, the
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: Dolphins are six and nine and they're hosting Tampa who's
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: seven and eight. Like, think about it. As horrible as
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: the Dolphins season has been, one in six start crushed
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: by the Browns, Tua gets benched like they're getting blowed out.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: They're one win worse than Tampa Bay. That's wild, isn't it. Like,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: But we had a couple of games like that this
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: this weekend. I just think Tampa's season is cratering. Man.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: I like Tampa's team a lot earlier in the season.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: They're playing really good defense. Run defense was fantastic, offense
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: was good, and then they had some injuries and the
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: losses just started mounting up and they can't get out
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: of their own way now. Man, their season is disintegrating
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: and they got to win to stay alive this week
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: against the Dolphins. So there you go. Gonna be interesting stuff.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. Something else that caught my attention
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: the Broncos opponent on Christmas Day, Right they're taking on
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: the Chiefs on the road. So a couple of things
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: with the Chiefs. One, it is more so in the future.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: But but they're moving away from Kansas City. I'm sure
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: you heard about that. They're moving to Kansas right across
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: the state line. They're gonna move into a new stadium
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: in twenty thirty one. I think it's gonna be a dome.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: How do you feel about this? We're gonna have dome
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: stadiums for the Chiefs, for the Bears. Something just feels
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: wrong about that? Does it? Not a dome for the
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: Chicago Bears? How many years have we talked about bear weather?
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: You know, like it's a thing like I think about
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: the eighty five Bears. They're beating the Rams. It's snowing
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: like those.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: It's a travesty, it's a it's awful.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: Right, coop, Like you think of the Chicago Bears that outdoor.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: The Broncos are getting a new stadium too, Uh, but
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: I believe they're doing a like retractable roof.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: Okay type of situation. Yeah, Like, I mean I can
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: live with that if we're talking just straight dome stadium
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: for the Bears, even the Chiefs. Some just feels wrong
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: about that.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: Is wrong.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: I like what the Bills are doing. The Bills are
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: still going to be outside but the way they've built
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: the stadium, they're really conscientious about cutting down the wind.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: They built the stadium like the lower Bowl in a
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: way where it really cuts down on the wind that
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: gets in there. And okay, fine, but you're still outdoors,
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Like it would feel wrong
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: if the Bills were playing in a dome stadium.
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: How many stadiums are still left that are in the
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: elements like that, because if they take away all of them,
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: isn't that just taking away that part of the sport.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: I think that the snow games are the best.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: I think they're so I know, yeah, well we got
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: a lot like are you just talking outdoor stadiums or
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: like outdoor stadiums in.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: Cold in cold weather?
• 15:45
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean listen, you still have Philly still have
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: like the Washington Commanders. Well, they're building a new one.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: I don't know if that's going to be a dome
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: or not. I hope not. The Packers obviously, Minnesota no
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: longer right Like Minnesota, Well, they've been in a dome
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: quite a bit. I just remember the outdoor game where
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: where it was what was it Blair Walsh missing the
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: chip shot field goal and they lost like thirteen to twelve.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: That was when you know, it was frigid out there,
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: freezing cold.
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: I just can't imagine, like, even if I'm just the
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: tiniest bit cold, if my hand gets hit, it hurts
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: so bad. Imagine taking a full on man at your body.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: Like, yeah, oh totally, Yeah, Commanders will be a dome
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: as well.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, what is happening right hitting the ground,
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: like just hitting the ground. How hard that ground? Oh
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: my gosh, this is brutal. Patriots outdoors, Bills still outdoors, Jets,
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: Giants out those are all in the elements. Steelers, Ravens, Bengals.
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: Okay, so we still got options, Yeah, we.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: Still have some, but man, we're losing some ride or
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: die teams like the Bears, the Commanders, the Chiefs. Like
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: that's a lot. That's a lot right there. And think
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: how many playoff games are going to be at some
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: of those places, you know, like when Mahomes gets better,
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: and yeah, the Chiefs are still gonna be hosting playoff games.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: Believe me, I don't like it. I don't like it.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: I can deal with a retractable roof, but a straight
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: dome stadium for the Bears there's just something completely Unamerican
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: about that. They does not feel right.
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: They should check their domes, that's right.
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: Something as far as this weekend though, with the Chiefs
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: taken on coops Broncos, would you like to guess the
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: betting line in terms of the Chiefs team total against
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: the Broncos on Christmas Day? Right? So it's literally just
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: a you know, there's a line that comes out and
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: based on this number, you bet on the over or
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: the under. Well, the Chiefs score more than this amount
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: of points or less than this amount of points, right,
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: what do you think it's set at? And I believe
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: we've got Chris Ola do'kun who's going to be starting again.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: We have mahomes Is on the shelf with a knee injury.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: We have Gardner Minshew who didn't tear his acl thankfully,
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: but he's on the shelf with a knee injury. So
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be Chris Ola do'coun. They signed
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: Shane Bouchelle off of game man. They signed him off
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: a practice squad as insurance right there, So what do
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: you think they're coop? What do you think the team
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: total is for the Chiefs against your Broncos.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: Let's go fourteen ten and a.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: Half on Christmas Day, Bro, I don't know how they're
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: getting the double digits against your Broncos. Your Broncos should
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: be out for blood. They were not good. They haven't
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: been good for a couple of games. Like, I'm not
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: being a troll right here, right, you would admit they
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: were not good defensively against the Washington Commanders in Mariota
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago. Right, they survived in overtime
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: in that game. They gave up twenty six points.
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: Pretty good against the Packers, they were.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: All right, they still give up twenty six points. You know,
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: it's not like a shut them down like dominant performance
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: at all. And then this past weekend the Jags they
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: put up thirty four points, Like what is up with
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: this defense? So I think the Broncos defense could be
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: out for blood. And against Chris Ola dookun like the
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: Chiefs just scored what nine points against the Titans, Like,
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: it's not gonna go well against the Broncos. Man, So yeah,
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: I think under ten and a half might be the
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: way to go. I don't know how the Chiefs are
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: scoring in this game. It's you're gonna kick your feet
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: up and be like, this is beautiful, Coop. The question
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: is do you put all your sixteen confidence points on
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: the Broncos minus to points?
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what's the spread? Like twelve and a half?
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's probably like and a half thirteen and a half.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: I don't know what it's going to be on the
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: confidence pool, but a lot, a lot. Yeah, all right.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: Coming up next, we'll get to the militia. I've got
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: some thoughts. I heard from a member of the militia
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: who was pushing back on what I had to say
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: about Lamar Jackson not getting back out on the field
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: with a back bruise in the second half. He's day
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: to day with a bruise, and I was just like, bro,
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: you gotta get on the field. I got some pushback,
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: so here the counter argument, and also from the militias
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: lining up a couple of regulars here I see. Very
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: excited for that. We will get to all of that

• 23:04
  Speaker 1: near for the Crimson Tide. I can't wait to see
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: them get smacked around by Iu oh Man, my Saturday
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: co hosts. You would think they not only went to
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: Alabama but were born in Tuscaloosa. I don't know what
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: it is. I say these things like Alabama's total fools
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: gold and they go crazy on me. They're like wolverines
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: going after me. It's wild. I like being able to
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: say certain things and having zero pushbags. Kind of nice
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: filling in for Big Man.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: I like that.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: I did get some pushback. This's a good segue. We'll
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: get to the militia here just momentarily. So I got
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: some pushback on my Lamar take. So Cliff's notes version
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: very brief. Lamar Jackson he missed the second half on
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: Sunday Night against the Patriots. Gots to have it situation.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: Ravens really needed that win against the Patriots. Lamar gets
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: knead in the back, he leaves the game, never comes back.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: Turns out he has a back bruise. He has a
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: back contusion, so he's had a bruise. I'm sure it's painful,
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: but he doesn't play the entire second half he's day
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: to day. You gotta be kidding me. Your day to
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: day with a bruise and you don't gut it out,
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: you don't get back on the field. Really, you gotta
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: get back out there, have to get back out there.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: So BP checks in. Now, I'm assuming this is not
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: like the the gas station company at VP. Like my
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: brother in law works for BP. It's more than just
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: a gas station company. I have no idea what else
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: they do. That's where he works. I'm assuming it's not that.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: But anyway BP checks in, it says bad take by you.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: The score was ten to ten at the half. Sunday,
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: Ravens took an eleven point lead with their backup quarterback.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: Ravens lost because Henry did not see the field with
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: more than twelve minutes to go in the fourth quarter.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: He had more than one hundred and twenty yards and
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: seven yards per carry. Okay, I think it's a bad take. Now,
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: not all of it is a bad take. I totally
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: agree with the second part. How they don't get Derrick
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: Henry on the field and get the ball in his
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: hands is absurd. That is a football crime. He went crazy.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: Derrek Henry had a great game and you're not gonna
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: get him the football. You're gonna put in Keaton Mitchell,
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: who I like. Keaton Mitchell. By the way, his final
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: stat line nine carries for thirteen yards. So you have
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: Keaton Mitchell in there instead of Derrick Henry. Derrick Henry
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: stat line eighteen carries for one twenty eight and two touchdowns.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: They're like, no, this is normally the series that Keaton
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: Mitchell plays. So it's just a rotational type. Bro screw
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: the rotation. Get Derrick Henry the football. What are you doing?
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: So that part is right, the bad take is, Look,
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: yes they grew a lead with Tyler Huntley, the backup
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: quarterback in there, but they didn't grow the lead because
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: of Tyler Huntley. Tyler Huntley completed nine passes for sixty
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: five yards. He didn't do anything special, he didn't do
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: anything spectacular. Like Lamar Jackson needs to be on the field.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: Suck it up, it's a bruise, get back out there.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: If Lamar is there, they're fully capable of building a lead. Also,
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: maybe they would have built a bigger lead. Maybe maybe
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: they would have had Derek Henry on the field more
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: if Lamar was out there. I don't know. It could
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: be it could have changed their thinking a little bit
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: in some way. But I don't buy this that. Well
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: they built a lead with the backup quarterback, Well, they
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: can't build a bigger lead with Lamar. They can't build
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: the same lead with Lamar. Maybe it changes the situation
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: of the game. Maybe the amount of time left in
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: the game is different. Maybe they score quicker, maybe they're
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: not as methodical. Maybe it's you know, it's a bigger
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: play that they're capable of hitting on. It changes every
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: scenario going forward. You have to have your best players
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: on the field. And when your best player, Lamar Jackson
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: doesn't gut it out and get out there with what
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: turns out to be a back bruise that he's only
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: day to day with, that is a minor injury. He's
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: just hurt. He's not injured. He could get out there,
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: but he didn't. Like an injury is you can't get
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: out there no matter how badly you want to be there.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: That's like torn kneeligam its broken bones. It can't do it.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: You're on the shelf. Sorry, dude, get him next time.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: Like bruises, you know, shoulders that are you know, I
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: don't know, like on a socket, but you can gut
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: it out. You can go like bro, you gotta gut
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: it out. You gotta get out there. So no, I
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: don't agree with that take. I think Lamar has to
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: find a way to get out there, has to. That's
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: a game you gotta win. Okay, I've said my piece.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: Let me get out to the militia. They want to
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: check in. I've got Jed, who fled my guy. He's
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: ready to check in. What's up, Jed? You're on Fox
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: Sports Radio.
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: Well, you've got a gift horse. You don't put that
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: some bit to the stable. You let it run. You
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: don't put your best player on the on the bench
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: when it's crunch time. Also, Wolverine attacking you from Alabama.
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: Can you imagine Wolverine with his sister in total pregnant
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: from him and then get run of it out of face?
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying. I'm gonna get too mag
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: you know, come on now, I've got that big up.
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: That's what I imagine when you're got from Alabama. That's
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: why these people are here. We're living in North Florida.
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: The further North Florida, you go the morn of South
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: you are and we I've had to defend myself from
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: just Alabama's here in North Florida most of my life.
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: The good thing is that you throw a word like
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: there's anything due, they're stunned for. It's like a flash bang,
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: just as them to spell anything or do a mathematical
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: problem and you're okay. So when I was growing up,
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: we had to unsure pool, the issuy pool in the
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: confetence pool. If you jumped into the confidence pool, you
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: couldn't swim. Nobody was gonna jump in and help you. Dude,
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: you were on your own. That's a that's what we have,
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: right because Gamblack's the bad thing. Amma's not the devil.
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: But the domes have got to be institute. Why because
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: geo engineering would be a temptation for somebody like President
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: tin Man, you know, but didn't have it. Yeah, if
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: I only had a brain, he could be manipulated and
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: change the weather. We don't need that changing the outcome
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: of professional sports games. That's why you've got to get
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: domes to protect it from the weather control. That makes
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: total sense, right.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: So you're pro domes there, jedu.
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: Fled dude, the ying Yang twins were pro the ying
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: aate twins were pro done. Dude, I'm pro done.

• 34:49
  Speaker 1: going on? Mark? You're on Fox Sports Medio.
• 34:51
  Speaker 6: Hey, good morning people, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year to you,
• 34:54
  Speaker 6: Same to you. So I think from here on oded
• 34:58
  Speaker 6: the NFL should make it mandatory. Think. First of all,
• 35:01
  Speaker 6: football is supposed to be played in the elements. It
• 35:03
  Speaker 6: always was, it always should be so, except for the
• 35:06
  Speaker 6: stadiums and the teams that were grandfather in that already
• 35:10
  Speaker 6: have Dome Stadium. Everybody else that wants a new stadium,
• 35:13
  Speaker 6: it needs to be open air or remember the old
• 35:17
  Speaker 6: Texas Stadium in Irving, Texas or just covered the fans,
• 35:20
  Speaker 6: but the field was still yeah, exposed to that. It
• 35:24
  Speaker 6: should make either open air or that.
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with you, man, Like, can you imagine if,
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: like the Green Bay Packers just moved to a fully
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: domed stadium.
• 35:34
  Speaker 6: It's just wrong, No, because then you can't say the
• 35:37
  Speaker 6: frozen tundral.
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: That's right, I know, it's the friendly confines of the
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: new lambeau Come on, what are we doing here?
• 35:45
  Speaker 6: Come to Lambeau Field. You can wear a pair of
• 35:47
  Speaker 6: sweatpants and a T shirt at seventy degrees crazy.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: They can't be like that. Yeah, I feel I'm right
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: there with you, Mark. I hate it. I hate that
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: the Bears, Chiefs Commanders all domed stadiums. That's terrible, awful.
• 36:00
  Speaker 6: I mean, when you watch a snow game on TV
• 36:03
  Speaker 6: and if you're there, it's freaking awesome, dude. Oh yeah,
• 36:07
  Speaker 6: remember remember what that snow game when the Patriots beat
• 36:11
  Speaker 6: the Raiders and the fans are sitting.
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: On miles of snow.
• 36:14
  Speaker 6: Yes that it is freaking awesome.
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: Absolutely it is. And they were having celebrations in those games,
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: right like the Patriot fans. They'll when they scored a touchdown,
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: they throw the snow in the air, like the whole
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: crowd is that it's awesome.
• 36:29
  Speaker 6: Not to mention not so much of the fact that's
• 36:31
  Speaker 6: so cold. Did you get to drink more alcohol?
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: There you go, man, Absolutely you two. Mark appreciate it. Man,
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: that's great. It makes me think. I gotta say one thing.
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: So I went to a game with my mom years ago.
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: It is a Notre Dame game was in nineteen ninety two.
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: A Notre Dame beat Penn State. It's this tremendous game.
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: Drumbetta scored a touchdown and then Reggie Brooks caught the
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: two point conversion. Notre Dame beat Penn State by one point.
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: Tremendous game. It was a snow game, crazy elements. It's
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: one of my favorite memories ever in life, just going
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: to the game with my mom. They were supposed to
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: film Rudy that day, but because it was snowing and
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: it messed it up and they couldn't do it that day.
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: But they're supposed to film some scenes of Rudy that
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: day and they couldn't. But yeah, the ninety two famous
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: snow game, Notre Dame beating Penn State. Oh, I can't
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: imagine if Notre Dame was like, you know, we're just
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: gonna have a fully domed stadium. Oh, I would hate that.
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: I've spent many days in that stadium when it's freaking
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: freezing and it might be a little bit, you know,
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: miserable at the time, but it's just something about it. Man,
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: that's the way it needs to be. The Bears. I
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: can't get over the Bears in a dome. Oh, that's
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: just sacrilegious. Man, I hate that. All right, coming up next,
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: we close it down in style. I'll give you a
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: player and a league that have something in common with
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: Mac and cheese, at least in my opinion. On the corner,
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: I'm Brian though in for big Ben Malor here on
• 38:02

• 38:19
  Speaker 1: big Ben Meler for over forty years, tire Rack has

• 38:36
  Speaker 1: I got two quick stories for you, and I think
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: they have something in common with Mac and Cheese in
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: a roundabout way. One would be you like mac and cheese, Lorena,
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: the cheesier, the better, that's right, absolutely on. The first
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: would be Draymond Green. That's what's happening with Draymond. So
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: the other night, he and the head coach, Steve Kerr
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: had words on the bench, and Treymond just left, just
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: left the game. I'm out of here. He said. It
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: was a basketball deal, you know, kind of like a disagreement,
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: difference of opinion. He said, he went to the locker
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: room to cool off. Didn't think that things were gonna
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: get better. He just left, just left. During the game,
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: He just left, missed the final twenty minutes. No punishment.
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: The news is that the Warriors are not punishing Draymond.
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: Draymond cleared the air quote unquote with GM Mike Dunleavy
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: Junior after the exchange with Steve Kerr. No punishment crazy.
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: I think that it's a lot like macaroni and cheese. Okay,
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: if you like me, If you make macaroni and cheese,
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: here's what you gotta do immediately. You got to rinse
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: the pot out. Just rinse it out, give it a
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: quick rinse. It makes it so much easier to clean.
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: If you don't and everything just sits there, it's a
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: nightmare to clean it afterward. That's where the Warriors are
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: with Draymond Green, you know. I mean like they've tried
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: to discipline him here like a slap on the hand,
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: slap on the wrist. Like it's too far gone. It's
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: too late. It's too late to correct the behavior. It's
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: never gonna be good because they've let too much go.
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: It's very similar with the NBA's new like tanking rules.
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: They're trying to come up with these anti tanking rules.
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: I've read them nineteen times. I still can't understand them.
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: It's too late. It's part of the culture. They've let
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: it go on for too long. It's mac and cheese
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: that's caked on. You can't do anything about it now,
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: it's too late. Everybody, have a merry Christmas Eve. We'll
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: catch you soon.
