  Speaker 2: six' eleven off the Jersey Turnpike.
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: And Meryl, you're back.
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: I Am. Has the plane landed?
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I think it did this morning, as
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: he's yeah, because.
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: It was forever I got you. I got a tough loss, Marrow.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: One of the strangest games I can remember in a
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: long time at SOFI Stadium. So where do you Let's
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: get to your open thoughts call in the game, what'd
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: you say?
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: I saw a mess. I saw a mess. A very
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: very important game for both teams, and the Eagles had
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: so many opportunities to take that game and blow it apart.
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: They were the better team. They are a better team
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: than the Chargers, no down, Well, the Chargers have just
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: as many problems on their offensive line. I think the
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: Eagles as good as the Chargers backs are, and they
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: have a good rookie back but in Hampton. But I
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: don't think they have anybody that compares with Saquon Barkley.
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: I don't think they have a tight end that's anywhere
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: near as good as Dallas Goddard. And even though they
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: have some good receivers, Lad McConkie is a good receiver
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: and Keenan Allen is a good receiver, but you can't
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: compare their receivers to to what the Eagles have an
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: Aj Brown and Devon Smith and even Johann Dotson. And
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: I think defensively, the Eagles are light years better than
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: the Chargers, and yet they threw away opportunity after opportunity.
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: Of course, everybody today is is killing my quarterback. Jalen hurts.
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: They are killing him.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: I got some surprising keep going, but I got I'm
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: gonna surprise you what I have to say about his performance.
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: Okay, all right, but it's a disheartening loss. It is
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: a disheartening loss. It's their third loss in a row.
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: And Lee Alexander is here, and Lee is a wonderful
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: account executive and he knows a lot about baseball. And
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: Lee's been telling me for a long time that that
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: this is wrong with the Eagles, and that is wrong
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: with the Eagles, and that the everything I call him
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: chicken little, that the guy is falling, and I don't know,
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: it hasn't fallen yet. It will fall if they lose
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: to the Raiders this week. But keep in mind, this
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: team has eight wins right now. Three wins are a
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: lock to win the NFC East. That locks it up.
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: Probably two wins will be enough if Dallas loses one
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: more game, and the Eagles are not exactly in the
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: midst of a tough stretch because they have the awful Raiders,
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: then they have the Commanders, that they have one tough
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: game at Buffalo, and then they have the Commanders at home,
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: so they're in good shape and unless something really crazy happens,
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: they're still going to make the playoffs. However, it's disheartening
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: to see them lose a game like this and actually
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: face victory. Look at victory in the face. Seventeen or
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: eighteen yards away. All they need is to hit an
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: open receiver and the game is over. The game is over,
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: and they turn it over at that point on a
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: ban interception.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: All right, I'm going to surprise you with this.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: I'm going to start on the latter part where you
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: talked about the really good defensive play by Cam harten
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: twenty Jefferson and the interception. Hertz thought, okay, that he
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: had at an open pass targ an open receiver, see
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Cam Hart. The throw was actually good. He just didn't
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: see Cam Hart. I know it sounds great. How could
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: you possibly say that he turned it over?
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: He turned the ball over a lot. I get that.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: But what my job is as a reporter, and when
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: I analyze and I talk to people, Uh we on
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: Inside the Birds, Greg O cell and I and Jeff Motion.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: We just actually just taped the offensive show called inside
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: the Tape with Greg and it's just funny. I throw
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: it out to Greg, I said, Greg, you may think
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: Hurt's played poorly. I haven't talked to you yet. But
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: I thought there are a lot of good throws that
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: he laughed. He goes, you're kind of reading my mind.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: He actually made some really good throws. Yes, he turned
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: the ball over that there's no excuse for it. But
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: if you just grade like coaches do, every single throw individually,
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: you go, wow, you could win with that Formationally, they
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: changed things up coming off the mini by Merrow. So
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: I'm in the minority. Some people are gonna hate me.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: They're gonna come at me on social media.
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: I don't hate you. I don't know you're the best
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: because first of all, you called the game. But the
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: last thing was kind of weird because I saw it.
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: He never saw cam Hart and then the ball and
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: the catch he made in one hand on his deflection
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: was amazing. But but I as much as I like
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: Jalen Hurst, I still thought when you when it's first down,
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: you've got to find an uncovered receiver. Understood, somebody is
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: going to be open in the back of the You
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: cannot throw into a crowd or through a small window
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: at a play like that. So I that situational football.
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: That's that's on Jalen Hurts. But let's start at the beginning.
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: First time the Eagles, well, the first time they march
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: down and to get the touchdown on the past to
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: uh on the touchdown pass going from Justin Herbert to
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: their rookie receiver of Marion Hampton, and that they may
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: look easy. But then the Eagles come down and hurts
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: through what I thought was a gorgeous deep pass the
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: AJ Brown and he reaches out and it tickles his
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: fingers and it's incomplete. I don't know why AJ Brown
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: at a point like that, and I'm not telling you
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: that he's loafing or anything, but for some reason, don't
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: you have to extend yourself if he dives that ball,
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: If he dives for that ball, it's a sixty yard reception.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: Okay, you go back. Okay.
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: The other there was an interception also where he passed.
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: He went for Davante Smith, and DeVante Smith fell down
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: or was pushed down in front of the Yes. Yeah,
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: and that ball was right where he was standing. So
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: if he's not on the ground, it's another completion.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: Correct.
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: And then the other play that I saw, which as
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: well over the middle, that's a pass that if he
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: doesn't catch it, he at least brings it down. But
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: it's up there and it goes off of AJ Brown's fingers.
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: And then the worst one to me, and Mike Quick
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: doesn't agree with me on this, the worst one to
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: me was that late in the game, when they had
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: a chance to go up by a touchdown, Heart throws
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: a gorgeous pass deep in the corner and aj actually
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: at one point had it in both hands. Now, I
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: admit there's a defender yanking in his arm making a
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: great play. But AJ Brown is so big, so strong,
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: so powerful. You know, they called they called pass where
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: there's two guys there, they call it a fifty to
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: fifty pass. When AJ Brown is around the ball like that,
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: it's more like a ninety ten pass. He's he's gonna
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: make that ninety percent of the time, and there he
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: doesn't come up with the ball. It was not as
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: horrible a game for Jalen Hurts as the statistic.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: I'm glad that you said that, because they actually brought
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: some new wrinkles. They had Barkley in motion a little bit,
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: motioning outside, then coming back, and then then he had
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: the unbelievable throw to Devonte Smith for twenty eight yards.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: I mean, that was what we called a tissup pacing throw.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: He threw it while the receivers in the middle of
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: his route and then he caught it. That was a
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: great throw. Now, offensive line, you know, Dickerson missed twelve snaps.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: Jordan my Lot is having a tough year. Number sixty eight.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: The offensive line is inconsistent. But here's cam Bergen's was struggling.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: He struggled because remember he had the back surgery knee issue.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: But we say all this, Meryl, they had a chance
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: to win the game. They should have won that game. Yeah,
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: let's not forget that for all. And I know the
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: Delaware Valley and all fans across the country because remember
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: we're broadcasting on YouTube as well, not only just here
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: in Chicken Pets and Warrington. People are upset. We know
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: they want people fired, they want people bench. This is
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: if you grew up in Philly like me in Cheltenham,
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: and Meryl's from this area as well, you understand the
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: passion of this this group. This is what we love.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: But we try to set the record straight. It's never
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: always quite as bad as you thought. Oh but and
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: we have to mention one little note before we move on.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: Cal Adam Midas their long snapper was cut today. Oh really, yeah,
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: surprise you. They just did it in an hour ago.
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, why, Well, does that mean Hewlett is ready to
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: come back?
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: It's a great question. Now Adam Minus has got to
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: go through waivers. We'll see if they bring back to
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: the practice squad. They need, but Meryl they don't have.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: They don't have a long snapper. Now are they blaming him.
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: For maybe they're maybe they cut him because he sounds
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: like an illness out of mind? How are you well,
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: I'm not doing so well. I have a bad cat's
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: case of col out of minus. Well, he's probably why
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: they cut him. Somebody had somebody caught cal out of minus.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: We'll see if if they bring him back to the
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: practice goal. But they need a long snapper now. Jake
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: Elliott lately he's an extra point. He's missing field goals.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: Meryl still has a strong leg, but he needs to
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: be a little bit more accurate. So that's something to
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: keep a watch on.
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: Well, he was what four for five yesterday and and
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: he did have a fifty four yorder he did so,
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: but but he does miss one every now and then,
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: and they have a kicker he Cameron Dicker Dicker. The
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: Kickerer called Dicker the kicker who kicked for the Eagles
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: about four years ago when Jake was out with the
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: pulled groin, and he won a game in Arizona. But
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: I think it was more like a thirty five or
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: forty yard field goal. But does he have distance? He
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: just really hits it.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what Cameron Dicker is one of the most accurate
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: kickers in NFL history. I mean, he's off to an
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: incredible star. But again, as we sum it up and
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: move on here, Legos had a chance to win this game.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: And Merril, we got to get to the defense in
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: our opening thoughts before we move on to the injured
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: portent and okay in the second segment. But the defense, Merrill,
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: other than a couple of runs, and obviously Justin Herbert,
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: who could have thought that could happen? But overall, Meryl,
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: the defense was splendid.
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: Well, overall, they were splendid. Justin Herbert, I thought going
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: into the game, having a broken bone surgically repaired in
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: his left hand, would not be able to line up
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: under center and run play action. Well that was wrong.
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: He three plays in he was under center. And I
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: also thought he wouldn't be running the ball because if
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: he falls on that hand, he's maybe out for the season.
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: But he ran, and I thought the defense, although they
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: were great rushing the passer and did a pretty good
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: job against the running game, they allowed Justin Herbert to
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: escape too many times and gash them for big first downs.
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: What was his running were.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: His running ten for sixty six By the way, Mary
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: six shows it's crazy. He had the most carries in
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: any game over the last two seasons. It's it's a
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: lot of it's because of the rush, got upfield and
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: he saw a hole to go through. In fact, he
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: had more yarders to Marrion Hamptons came off into reserve.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: Their pass defense was phenomenal. You mentioned Lad McConkie, who
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: I was worried about. Cooper Degen shut him down, maryl
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: he have one catch, phenomenal on physical Meryl Physical at
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: Quentin Johnson.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: They shut him down. I think he had a catch.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: He only had one for two for eight yards, and
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: let keenan Allen have one or two three for twenty
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: two is probably gonna be a Hall of Famer. But
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: they shut down McConkie. They did a great job in
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: Ronnie gadsten Junr. Remember his dad who played for the Dolphins.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: I just thought the defense was special. After a tough
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: game against the Bears, they kept him in it because
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: when they kept turning over, maryl. You don't on a
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: short field, you're putting the defense in such a tough position.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: Give give Vic Fanjo and his group credit.
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: Here, and they should have been able. They should have
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: been in position to win that game. Nineteen. They should
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: never have been tied at the end of the game.
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: All they had to do was stop them and the
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: game's over, and they should have allowed them to tie
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: it and go to overtime. And then once you got
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: into overtime, when they kick a fifty four yard field
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: goal and go up by three, the Eagles were on
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: the way to at the very least come away with
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: a tie. But seventeen yards or eighteen yards away from
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: a win, that was theirs to take.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And that was your point about the interception from
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: hers to the last one. Anything but a turnover because
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: the game is over by the overtime rules. You know,
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: even if they scored, which they did, even if they
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: scored a touchho and you still get the ball back.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: But the shame of it is they got the running
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: game going a little bit barkley hat as you called
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: in the game, the fifty two yard run off a
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: fake toush push, which hey, little wrinkled.
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: I kind of like that, you know, Yeah, I like
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: a lot of it. Although when they had first they
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: hit the pass to Goddard and they had a first
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: in goal from the two or even the two and
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: a half, I would have toushed push.
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: I don't know what that.
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you get, well.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: They're not doing it as well, and maybe maybe Syrianny
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: just felt, hey, listen, our lines are not great.
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: You know, they have missed on some of them.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: It's very They didn't miss against the Chargers, no, but
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: against the Bears, remember.
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: It, there's they you know they actually they were close
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: to picking it up when the bull was taken out
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: of the arm of Jalen Hurst. That was a that
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: was a rare, rare occurrence. So I wouldn't base everything
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: on that. Sure.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: Now, one of the things before we move on here,
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: Meryll Godard again a great game, eight for seventy eight. Merrill,
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: him and Hurts have really good chemistry, which we saw
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: in training camp. Brown another good game in terms of production,
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: but drop passes. He's got to be better. Devonte Smith
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: is quiet in this game. And Daris Cooper how about
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: that nineteen year catch?
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah, how about that? That was an undrafted free agent.
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he did a good job.
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: Number eighty.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: And you also saw Shipley and Hurts excuse me, Shipley
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: and Barkley in the backfield for two plays with.
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: Wait a minute, wait a minute. You mentioned Shipley who
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: was also going back on kickoff returns along with along
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: with my guy Britton Covey a good game. Can you
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: tell me why Briton Covey has been sitting on the
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: practice squad since the end of the preseason when he
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: is so clearly their best return guy and one of
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: the best in the National Football League. In fact, two
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: years ago he led the NFL and punt returns. Why
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: waste Britain Covey.

  Speaker 2: one of seven three FM, and also seen live ap
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: at WBCB sports dot Com. It's Adam Kaplan from Inside

  Speaker 2: the Birds and the Great Mururice. We're here at Chicken
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: Pets and Warrington PA R at off six eleven and
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: the PA Turnpike. It's time now for this week's injury review,
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: brought to you by the attorneys at Begley, Carlin and Mandio.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: Contact them today for a free consultation. At two one
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: five it was six three six eight nine. That's two
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: one five eight O six three six eight nine. Well, Merril,
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: the first one.
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying that Lane Johnson is going to play
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: this week, but Meryl, there's a reason why the Eagles
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: did not put them into reserve with that midfoot sprain.
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: Lan Spick's a little bit active on social media.
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: H yeah, this week, I'm.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: Not saying he will play, but let's keep an eye
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: on practice late this week. Again, he served three games already,
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: he's been out four games. Would be if it'd put
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: him on IR he would he would have missed four games.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: So they clearly think he's got a chance over the
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: next couple weeks to play.
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: Let's keep an eye on that. Of course, Fred John
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: that's been filling in.
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: For Yeah, Fred's okay, but he's not laying John Nobody.
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: No, he will be a Hall of Famer.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: Landon Dickerson, as you know, left the game with a
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: CAF injury. He came back, he missed twelve plays. Brett
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: Toath replaced him, and Brett Toath is Johnny on the
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: spot who plays a lot of different positions. In this game,
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: he played left guard for Landon. But Landon the good
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: thing is he came back. Meryl, you know Landin's been
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: He's had back problems, knee. You worry about his health,
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: and that has been the story of this offensive line.
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: Merle their health, a lot of problems with injuries, a
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: lot a lot.
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: That's I say to people that the biggest difference between
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: last year's Eagles team and this year's Eagles team is
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: last year they had the best, the number one offensive
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: line in the NFL, and they really really rode that
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: offensive line and helped them in every aspect of the offense.
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: This year, they do not have a good offensive line.
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: And it's not coaching, it's not innate talent, it's injuries.
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: You have Landon Dickerson, you have Cam Jurgensane John Johnson
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: is out. Even before this he was going in and
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: out with neck problems. And then you have Tyler Stein.
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: Why I don't understand. He keeps standing up and looking
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: back on every play.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he does, and he also keeps having penalties at
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: the worst period of time. What's interesting, Meryl about this
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: game is I think he only had six or seven penalties,
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: which is a major improvement over what had been happening.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: But it's the timeliness of these penalties are just crushing.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, you saw in the Dallas game, right, I
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: think it was a rolling on offense. They had fourteen penalties.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: You can't win like that and that's something that the
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: offensive line has got to do a better job with now. Defensively,
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: Jalen Carter, we don't know exactly what he's gonna play now.
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: He had a procedure last week which we think was
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: some kind of treatment for both shoulders. We know it
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: was not surgical, right right, We think it's some sort
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: of treatment a shot. Could it be courtizone go to PRP.
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: But the bottom line is Byron Young, Byron Young is
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: a nice how that was a good a good move
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: to get He was noticeable yetah, he met a lot
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: and he'll be facing this with the team that cut
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: him on Sunday.
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: The first injury report, by the way, today is Tuesday.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: Their first injury report will be available Wednesday evening. We
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: expect Eagles have some sort of a walk through tomorrow.
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: I can't imagine they have any sort of practice being
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: so what time did they get home? What time do
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: you guys get home?
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: Today?
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: We landed the seventh third, dude, they're not practicing tomorrow.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: Now for the Raiders, they got all sorts of problems.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: Juno Smith who struggled and by the way, under chip
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: Kelly and Chip Kelly was let go. Old Frank greg
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: Olsen is going to call the plays. Geno Smith bad
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: right hand, bad right shoulder. You might see you might
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: see Kenny Pickett play for me Eagle quarterback.
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. It'll be Kenny Pickett. Yeap, Yeah,
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: he's a really good guy.
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: Kenny.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: Of course from uh right in New Jersey. Now, the
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: Raiders marrowed down their left tackle, Colt Miller, who's been
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: out since Week five with a significant high ankle sprain.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: Then Jackson Powers Johnson with a left leg injury. Who's
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: their center who had concussion issues in college. He's out
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: with a left leg injury. He went on IRN week eleven.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: Michael Mayer who's there blocking Titan tight end? He's been
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: out the last two games, but they're starting tight end.
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: Brock Bowers might be the best in the league. He
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: is amazing, Well, I said, I started to say that,
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: and then halfway through I said, wait a minute, Yeah, gotod.
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: He's pretty good. And of course we're talking about other
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: great people like Kelsey and we're talking about George Kittle.
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: But I want to tell you who's really moving up
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: there in his year, and that is Tyler Warren. That
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: depends next.
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: Day for the cult.
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: He is out of this world, Meryl, How.
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: About this one?
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: Philip Rivers, forty four years old, has it thrown it
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: past it an NFL game in five years. He's out
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: of retiring because the Colts are down their three quarterbacks.
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: It's crazy.
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but I hear he's been playing in a flag
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: football everything. He can't wait to get back flag.
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: You could say what you want to see. I called
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: flag games for American Flag Football League for two years.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: Did you really I did? Yeah, believe or not. They're
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: the top flag company the AFFL. Yeah so, but listen,
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: flags generally seven on seven. This is eleven and eleven.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: I was kidding a bit.
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: I hear it.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: Well, you know what, it wouldn't surprise me because Joe
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: Flacco has literally came off the couch. You was throwing
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: the ball in the backyard. Yeah, so you just never know.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: But early then you have Aaron Rodgers coming off a
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: good game, who's turning on. Yeah, well they somehow won.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: But the Steelers and the Ravens, oh they how about
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: the Ravens? I cannot but what has happened to them?
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: They're falling off? But look early, call the weather. I
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: might as well let you know, MARYL. I don't know
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: if you've looked at it. I'm mister weather. Mid thirties
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: fifty percent chance of rain. Now, as you know, forecasts
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: can change, probably will, but just the early forecast. Because Meryl,
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: you got home a little bit later in the morning,
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: it was freezing, crazing. My wife and I work on
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: We walk our dogs at seventy am just about every day.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: Holy smokes, Merril. I saw my wife. I said, I
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: got it a frost to go inside. I can't take this.
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: This is this is even worse than usual for this area.
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: Well, just yesterday morning, my son and I Nolan, who
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: lives out there, were strolling around the hotel that was
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: in Marina del Rey, and it was seventy five degrees
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: out of the marina, beautiful sunshine, gorgeous. But you know what,
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: I would have rather have seen a nasty, awful day
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: and see the team play totally well. And you count
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: that it's a weird stadium. It's it's kind of a technically,
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: I guess you call it an indoor stadium because it
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: is covered, yes, but you see the sky the light
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: comes in, and that all the sides are wide open.
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: From that standpoint, it's a very very good stadium, I
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: think for a spectator, for a broadcaster, it's awful.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: What did you think of the La coliseumers I called
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: it with affection, the La Mausoleum.
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: I liked it. I liked its history, the fact that
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: the Olympics were there many many years ago, the fact
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: that it's where Southern cattle played all their games. You
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: know it's I liked it. I liked it. I did
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: a lot of Eagles games at the coliseum.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I was at the one time I was there
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: for an Eagles game was the twenty seventeen game when
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: Wentz got hurt.
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: But was an unbelievable game.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: The atmosphere was really it was interesting because you know,
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: Meryl and I actually wanted to get to this in
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: a second before we could well have one more note
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: on injuries. But what was the crowd like? Was it
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: pro Eagles? No, no, it was not charging. A lot
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: of people said that it was pro Eagles. Yeah I
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: don't believe that.
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: My feeling because I could hear the I could hear
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: the crowd when Dicker hit the fifty four yard field goal.
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: I didn't have to wait to see the official I
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: would say that maybe there were I would say, what
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: was the total crowd? About fifty five thousand. I will
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: look up things like that. It wasn't it wasn't packed.
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: Oh so they're empty set, Really, they're empty seats.
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: There were empty seats.
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: For Monday Night football, LA Man the Charge, Well, it's
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: the Chargers.
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: I know. They don't great, they don't have a fan base.
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: No.
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: In fact, you called the game at the Home Depot
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: Center or whatever they called it that in twenty seventeen
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: when Blunt went crazy that game with Pro Eagles.
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: Was it not?
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: Oh that was all Eagles fans.
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: What was it like to call a game there?
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: It was great. They were there twenty five thousand fans
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: in twenty seventeen. It was a little soccer stadium and
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: that's where they played because the Chargers hadn't moved yet
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: to Los Angeles because the new stadium wasn't open, So
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: they played at this twenty five thousand seat stadium and
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: it was it was it was like being out a
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: big high school game and it was amazing. It was fun. Now,
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: I would say, I would say if there were sixty
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: thousand fans at the game yesterday, maybe twenty five thousand
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: rereaves a lot though, that's a lot.
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, really good turnout. I don't forget Drew mccouba is
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: on IR. He had ankle surgery. So as long as
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: he goes make the playoffs, if they go deep, maybe
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: it comes back. But uh, Merril, you saw last night
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: Marcus EPs was back from injury.
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he was.
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: It was good to get him back because Sidney Brown
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: just hasn't worked out for him at safety. And how
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: about one more for Dorry Jackson, very active, had a pretty.
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: Good game, playing well. He is playing surprisingly well. There
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: were a couple of times that he provided a little
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: too much cushion, but he made some big all right.
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: That was this week's injury review, brought to you by

  Speaker 2: dot com. All right, Merril. So the Eagles are now
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: eight and five. There's still a game and a half
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: ahead of those dreaded Cowboys. But the Raiders come into town.
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: They're just a bad football team. Hey, a rare one
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: o'clock game, Meryl. Yes, yes, everyone loves that. Everybody loves that.
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: So uh, the bottom line is the bottom line is, Meryl.
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: They Eagles did some good games, good things in Laska.
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: We talked about the past the game, but you know
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: what I like how they ran the ball outside not they.
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: Did some okay things. If you had asked me when
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: the Eagles are eight and two, what's the key to
• 30:25
  Speaker 4: the game against the Raiders, I would show up at
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: the stadium when when when they were eight and two,
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: and I'd say that you have to show up at
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: the stadium to pick up and win. But now crazy
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: things are happening in the National Football League. Nothing nothing
• 30:42
  Speaker 4: is at lock. Can you tell me how did Tampa
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: Bay lose? How did Tampa Bay lose to They lose
• 30:49
  Speaker 4: to the Saints.
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: Tampa in Tampa, Meryl? Yeah, they can't happen with Baker Mayfield.
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: Although who's the kid who's now quarterback in the Saints.
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: Tyler shuck.
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: Tyler shuck? What is a Tyler shuck? I never heard
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: of Tyler shuck.
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: It's it's, it's it's. The spelling is much different, by
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: the way, if you will. But so to me, keep
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: getting that outside run game.
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: I loved it. Not only was the.
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: Fake tushbush a great play, but they started to run
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: the ball well outside of Meryl. Running inside has been
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: a problem.
• 31:22
  Speaker 4: What has been and all again, the biggest difference between
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: last year and this year is the offensive line.
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: No question about it. What I loved is so A J.
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: Brown is coming on.
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: I know that he had some place he liked to
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: have back, but it's good to see the chemistry merrow
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: between Hurts and AJ Brown. Come on here a little bit.
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: It's good to see him off the internet.
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah right, that's right, complaining, right.
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: Right, Let's let's stay away from Tis Rock and that stuff.
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: Right as you well know. No, I'm just kidding.
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: Uh, Saquon Barkley. Good to see Meryl last last night. Technically, Uh,
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: he had a very good game. They need to keep
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: building on that.
• 31:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and like yesterday once he I wondered if after
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: having the amount of action carries and pounding that he
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: took last year, if maybe he was a little less
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: explosive that he was a year ago. And then when
• 32:10
  Speaker 4: he got outside on that touchdown run, you could just
• 32:13
  Speaker 4: see him turn on the jets and nobody could catch him.
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: He still has that speed, he still can be explosive.
• 32:20
  Speaker 4: It would help if he had some daylight to run to.
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: That's true, and you can call that.
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: And then Dallas Goddard Merril eighty eight and hurts, and
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: again I know overall it wasn't what everyone wanted. They
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: start scoring twenty four to thirty points like last year,
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: But man, Dallas Goddard is having a career season.
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: Dallas Goddard is an excellent football player, he really is.
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: I think in the draft next year the Eagles have
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: to go after a tight end because it's time, because
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: we don't know what Dallas Goddard's future is going to
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: be with this team. But he's a great player. He's
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: a great guy. And speaking of tight ends, I was
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: so sorry to see zach Ertz go out with the injury.
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: That he had to second one of his career.
• 33:03
  Speaker 4: I think that will probably be it for him. He
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: was saying before this season that this will be his
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: last and then he will retire. And now I would
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: bet the sure unless he just says and he's hard headed,
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: I don't want to go out like this and one
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: more year.
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: I remember Maryland.
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: Twenty thirteen years drafted. I remember when I was working
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: for Da Spernaro. He came in we were doing Eagles
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: Live and I'm like, oh, that's it. Get a buzz
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: cut down, you know, his first remembrance of Philly. And
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: I look at now and we look so many years later,
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: and he's had borderline Hall of Fame career just because
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: it numbers for a tight end just absolutely phenomenal and
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: a Hall of Fame person.
• 33:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he was one of the good things that Chip
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: Kelly actually did. True, and there weren't a lot, but
• 33:44
  Speaker 4: Chip Kelly drafted Lane Johnson in the first round, his
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: first pick ever, and then overnight they had time to
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: think about it because they had the first pick in
• 33:55
  Speaker 4: round two and they used that to pick Stanford zach Ertz.
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: And the Eagles ran a lot of what we call
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: eleven personnel, three receivers in one tight end and charges
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: are really not deep at corner now the raiders really
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: or not so I'll be interested to see what they
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: do and what the Eagles approach will be. We'll see
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: what the weather looks like. But the thing is, you
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: said it earlier. The Negals talent level is so much more.
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: It's just it's way better than the team that's coming
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: into town here. And you can't say, as you said
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: it earlier, you can't just count on a blowout that
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: didn't happen anymore used to.
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: You know, I'm thinking about the teams and the playoffs.
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: Let's say they get to the playoffs, and they should.
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: You know, I still think they're better than the Bears.
• 34:37
  Speaker 4: I think if they meet the Bears again, they'll beat
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: the Bears.
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: Remember, despite all the yarders they gave up, Look how
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: tight the game was. You know, they actually couldn't had
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: a chance. If they didn't turn over, they could have
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: taken the lead.
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: Should have? You know, should have?
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: I mean when you look at the rest of Okay,
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: so the Rams blew a big lead here in phillip
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: Rams are the best team right now in the National Footballall.
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: They're really really good. Denver is good, but they play
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: a lot of close games. Already, the Eagles have already beaten
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: Tampa who was falling off. They had, They had a
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: great win against Green Bay in Seattle. No, if Sam
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: Donald turn it over, we'll see about Sam Donald.
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: But but they are having a good season.
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no doubt about it.
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: Now the Raiders, to me, when you look at the
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: keys of the game, the Raiders don't do anything particularly well.
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: But you know what the Eagles have to do. Keep
• 35:21
  Speaker 4: Max Crosby out of the Eagles.
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: He's a phenomenal football player, double X max Yes from
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: Eastern Michigan, who is a stud player.
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: But he doesn't have a lot of help.
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: And they've already he has a lot of tattoos, that's
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: what he has. But you know what, they've had a
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: lot of coaching changes already. They fired the special teams coach,
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: Chip Kelly, who we mentioned was fired.
• 35:39
  Speaker 4: I can't imagine that.
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: And you're not saying that with any sarcast that.
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: I can't tell. Well, there were reports that he was
• 35:46
  Speaker 4: sending in plays that had yet been included in the offense,
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: that his formations were off. You know, he's he isn't
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: what he purports to be. He is not a genius.
• 35:58
  Speaker 4: I mean, he's a guy with a knowledge of football
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: and a fast moving, crazy paced offense that he puts
• 36:05
  Speaker 4: in there, but once somebody has a way to stop it,
• 36:07
  Speaker 4: he has to go, Huh, what do I do now?
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: I still remember the first game he coached against Washington.
• 36:14
  Speaker 4: That was crazy and he brings them out and they're
• 36:17
  Speaker 4: running back and forth like racehorses, and they accumulated a
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: big lead and hung on but late. I also remember
• 36:24
  Speaker 4: the last game, the last year he coached, Thanksgiving Day
• 36:28
  Speaker 4: in Detroit. That game was so bad. The Eagles were,
• 36:32
  Speaker 4: the Eagles were so far behind that with two minutes
• 36:35
  Speaker 4: to go, I said, the thing that I am most
• 36:38
  Speaker 4: thankful for on this Thanksgiving Day is that there are
• 36:41
  Speaker 4: only two minutes left in this game. I said that
• 36:44
  Speaker 4: on the air, and people were tweeting it all over
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: the place. I meant it. I mean it was. It
• 36:49
  Speaker 4: was so embarrassingly bad, terrible.
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: And I I just remember what you just said. I
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: just remember thinking, Okay, Chip, Kelly's gonna get fired. There's
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: just no way you could bring him back. And see
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: everything that was going on around him was bad, and
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: you know how he would get his power back, and
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: obviously he turned things around in a major way.
• 37:07
  Speaker 4: I mean, Chimp wasn't even polite to the owner.
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: And Jeffrey had to take the building back. I remember
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: putting that out there. Yeah, I do remember that. Yeah.
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: It We don't need to revisit the Chip Kelly era,
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: which started off like a bang but went out like
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: a fizzle. Now when we look at the defense, Meryl,
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: let's look at the Eagles defense versus the the offense
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: of the Raiders. When we already talked about Gino Smith
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: and his injuries, but Moro just does he start? Do
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: you think he's banged? It's gonna he'll be very questionable
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: to play. They have to get through the week here.
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: But listen, Jalen Phillips had a good game. The Eagles
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: had seven sacks. How about fifty eight?
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: J Alex Hunt? What a game? Two and f sac.
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: He is a very good player.
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: What a story.
• 37:45
  Speaker 4: He is a very good player. He leads the he
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: has the tie for the leading interceptions with two. But
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: he's he's a very instinctive player. He's got great speed.
• 37:55
  Speaker 4: He started his college career at Cornell as a safety
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: and then he went on to I think it was
• 38:01
  Speaker 4: called Houston Christian and finished his career there. But he's
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: a bright kid and he's a good football player.
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: And how about the game Meryll Nakobe Dean had last night,
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: you called it.
• 38:13
  Speaker 4: He's a great player. Vic Fangio doesn't say great a
• 38:16
  Speaker 4: whole lot, I know, but when he was asked about
• 38:19
  Speaker 4: about Beth Dean, the Kobe Dean, he said, listen, he's
• 38:23
  Speaker 4: a great player. As soon as I can. I can't
• 38:25
  Speaker 4: wait to get him back on the field. He is
• 38:27
  Speaker 4: a terrific player the Eagles. That was one of the
• 38:30
  Speaker 4: great picks in Eagles history. When you can get into
• 38:33
  Speaker 4: Kobe Dean in the third rounds and.
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: Think about it, Maryl. He had the list front rupture
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: of the midfoot, okay, which cost him a season two
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: years ago. In twenty three last season, he has a
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: turn for Teller Tendon. You're thinking, well, maybe he'll be
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: back by midseason, but he won't be himself. This is
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: one of the most remarkable coveries in my twenty seven
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: years of covering this business. I've not seen anything like this, Maryl.
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: This guy's unbelievable.
• 38:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, no, he's good, and he's the reason Jehad Campbell is.
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: He's not fe He only had what nine the game
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: and it is what it is. Nolan Smith and how
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: about beg By the way Brandon Graham played forty the
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: defensive steps.
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: So I said that that surprised me. That's amazing he's having.
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: He is a guy that I obviously he's not gonna
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: go in the ProFootball of Fame, but he'll be Eagles
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: Hall of Famer. The thing is in this game, Meryl,
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: I know what the defense will do to the the
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: Raider offense. It's can the Eagles offense with Max Crosby
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: you mentioned him, keep him at bay, block him, make
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: sure he doesn't be disruptive, because if you could handle him,
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: this actually could be, if the weather holds up, a
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: pretty good game for the offense.
• 39:33
  Speaker 4: I think. So I would have earlier, as I said,
• 39:36
  Speaker 4: I would have told you this is this is a
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: this is a w no question about it. But we
• 39:42
  Speaker 4: have seen the Eagles synk to some depths and and
• 39:45
  Speaker 4: I don't know how far this thing is going to go.
• 39:47
  Speaker 4: I don't believe this is a repeat of twenty twenty
• 39:50
  Speaker 4: three ago where they were ten and one yeah, and
• 39:53
  Speaker 4: then went down the just went down the drain. I
• 39:55
  Speaker 4: don't believe that. I think the Raiders give them the
• 39:58
  Speaker 4: opportunity to get back on the beam and then head
• 40:01
  Speaker 4: for Washington and a Saturday game and take that and
• 40:04
  Speaker 4: suddenly you are. You are ten and five and with
• 40:07
  Speaker 4: two games to go Buffalo and Washington, and in great shape.
• 40:10
  Speaker 4: But I think that will happen. However, I will tell
• 40:14
  Speaker 4: you that that some of that faith has been shaken
• 40:17
  Speaker 4: by what I have seen in these last three weeks.
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: You're just being honest. Yeah, you're just being honest. A
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: three game losing streak is not good for anybody. But uh,
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: the thing is about with this team mar there's so
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: much talent that how he's amassed here and the coaching
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: generally overall is pretty good. They had they hit a
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: little bit of low here. But they Let me ask
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: you this question, because you were calling the game, you're
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: at the game. How is the energy for you to
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: did you notice because the defense certainly looked energized.
• 40:42
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, you could feel that. You could feel energy.
• 40:45
  Speaker 4: The problem with the Eagles was not energy on either
• 40:48
  Speaker 4: side of the ball. It was it was again I
• 40:51
  Speaker 4: hate to say it, but again it was a defense.
• 40:53
  Speaker 4: It was an offensive line that does not hold up
• 40:56
  Speaker 4: and give Jalen Hurts the surplus of opportunities to survey
• 41:01
  Speaker 4: the field, and and it was the it was the
• 41:03
  Speaker 4: turnovers that killed. Turnovers always kill. I think it's something like,
• 41:07
  Speaker 4: if if you win the turnover battle, you're gonna win
• 41:11
  Speaker 4: eighty percent of your game.
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: That's from yeahs jaws Oays, says Roncher Whisky. Oways says
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: that if you win the turnover battle, which they did,
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: they lost a small baseball score five to three, which
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: you can't do. Oh, by the way, I have to
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: ask you this question because you call one of the
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: most ridiculous plays in NFL history, the double double turnover
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: by Hurtz.
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: How did you even call that situation?
• 41:32
  Speaker 4: I probably didn't see that all that well because it
• 41:34
  Speaker 4: was so boom bam that I only knew that the
• 41:37
  Speaker 4: bull was intercepted. I knew that the bull was loose.
• 41:40
  Speaker 4: I knew that somebody had it. Then I knew that
• 41:42
  Speaker 4: Hurts for a second had it in his hands, and
• 41:46
  Speaker 4: I don't even know how long he had possession, and
• 41:48
  Speaker 4: then it ended up in the hands of the Chargers.
• 41:50
  Speaker 4: That's that's all I knew. I mean, don't forget at
• 41:53
  Speaker 4: so far stadium. We are sitting so far away, it's
• 41:56
  Speaker 4: it's it's really bad.
• 41:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, but nothing like Washington. Is it worse than.
• 42:01
  Speaker 4: Washington or in some respect since first even possible? Well,
• 42:04
  Speaker 4: because in Washington you're in a corner of the end zone,
• 42:07
  Speaker 4: so you're low, but you are still closer to the
• 42:10
  Speaker 4: field and there's no glass in front of you in Washington.
• 42:15
  Speaker 4: And I don't want to give Washington a credit because
• 42:18
  Speaker 4: what they call it Northwest Stadium now or Northwestern Stadium,
• 42:22
  Speaker 4: it's a dump. I mean, in fact, it is a
• 42:25
  Speaker 4: veritable it is an absolute dump. Now so far stadium
• 42:29
  Speaker 4: is not a dump. It's a beautiful, beautiful, modern stadium.
• 42:34
  Speaker 4: And I think the fans have a great time there.
• 42:36
  Speaker 4: But for a broadcaster it's a mess.
• 42:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, which is not good.
• 42:40

  Speaker 2: But we are actually Chicky Pizza Warrington PA right off
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: six to eleven. Next week Andrew de Checo and I
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: be Chicky Pete at Roosebelt Boulevard and by the way
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: Braidon Man was so good, Merrill. As a matter of fact,
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: I said, hey, Meryl, I said, I said to Brandon Brandon.
• 45:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, Bradony Beryl, yeah yeah, yeah, exactly. No, Marl.
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: What I said to braid Man was, you know what,
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: we want to hook you up with our guy, Sean Landetta,
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: because Sean Landetta is one of the best punders in
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: the NFL history. And Braidon Man, by the ways, doing
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: a pretty good job, should be a pro bowler.
• 45:28
  Speaker 4: Oh I think so. He's averaging fifty yards a punt.
• 45:30
  Speaker 3: I mean, he's been fit. What a great story he
• 45:32
  Speaker 3: has been.
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: And we were talking Braidon about his story and what
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: the Jets we're going to do with him, and then
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: the Steelers and the Eagles have him now and he's
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: done an excellent job. And let's just see what happens
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: here with this game against the Raiders. And you set
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: it up, Merril, very very well earlier in the show.
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: It's right here for the Eagles. I know they have
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: a three game losing streak, but two against Washington, they're defeated.
• 45:53
  Speaker 3: They're done.
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: They're terrible right now, They're beat up physically. Raiders are
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: really bad football team. The one game we're going to
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: get to that right now is at Buffalo seventeen. You've
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: called games there because I remember one of them when
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: I was a younger lad when Randall Cunningham one of
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: the longest punts in NFL history.
• 46:07
  Speaker 3: But so like the call game in Buffalo.
• 46:09
  Speaker 4: Well, it's it's cold that that's the window open. No,
• 46:13
  Speaker 4: but the but the Randall, the Randall punt, adam was
• 46:17
  Speaker 4: at Giants Stadium. The ninety three yard punt was against
• 46:20
  Speaker 4: the Giants.
• 46:21
  Speaker 3: Why did I think something happened at Buffalo? Didn't something happen?
• 46:24
  Speaker 4: Really because you've been drinking too much?
• 46:26
  Speaker 3: I will I wanted okay, cold, it must have been
• 46:28
  Speaker 3: a cold game.
• 46:29
  Speaker 4: That was That was the the ninety three yard puns
• 46:32
  Speaker 4: that Giants stands backed up at Giants Stadium.
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: Because I know people will tell me, no, you idiot,
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: it was at Giant Stay.
• 46:39
  Speaker 4: Thank you, okay, thank you, But but it is. It's
• 46:41
  Speaker 4: a it's an interesting stadium. This will be the last
• 46:44
  Speaker 4: time we'll ever see it because they have built a
• 46:46
  Speaker 4: brand new stadium there again, an open air stadium for
• 46:49
  Speaker 4: some reason. But that's okay with me because I don't
• 46:52
  Speaker 4: like domes. I like open air stadiums, even if the
• 46:56
  Speaker 4: elements are out there, there's snow, there's rain, But it
• 46:59
  Speaker 4: just adds to the drama, the drama of the whole situation.
• 47:03
  Speaker 4: I I love a weather game.
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: So here's a question for you, because you told me
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: this many years ago when we got to be friendly,
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: that you know you would call the game with you
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: want the because you want to hear the crowd, right, yes,
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: How did you know that? Like, did someone say, hey,
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: this is a good way to do plick? How did
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: you know that?
• 47:19
  Speaker 4: It's just because you just you just sit in the booth, right?
• 47:23
  Speaker 4: And when when Mike Quick first began, we were in
• 47:26
  Speaker 4: Washington that year and we were in a different booth
• 47:29
  Speaker 4: and it was a terrible cold day and you can
• 47:33
  Speaker 4: open the windows or shut the windows, and Mike said,
• 47:36
  Speaker 4: shut the windows. I said, Mike, we can't do that.
• 47:40
  Speaker 4: We've got to open the windows so you can feel
• 47:44
  Speaker 4: feel the game, you can hear the crowd, and you
• 47:47
  Speaker 4: can react. So Mike said, well, if you want to
• 47:49
  Speaker 4: feel the game, go down on the field and let
• 47:51
  Speaker 4: them hit you. So I said, all right, you'll see.
• 47:55
  Speaker 4: So the next week we went to Kansas City, Kansas
• 47:58
  Speaker 4: City is one of the few stadiums in the league
• 48:01
  Speaker 4: where you are actually glassed in in it's unremovable glass
• 48:06
  Speaker 4: at Arrowhead Stadium from top to bottom. That you do
• 48:09
  Speaker 4: have a good view there, but it's unremovable glass. And
• 48:13
  Speaker 4: Mike said to me, you know what, I felt like
• 48:15
  Speaker 4: I was in a library today, he said, I couldn't
• 48:18
  Speaker 4: feel it. Oh well, even if you have some of
• 48:20
  Speaker 4: it piped into your headset, it's not the same. It's
• 48:24
  Speaker 4: not the same of hearing the roar of the crowd.
• 48:26
  Speaker 4: I mean, there's nothing like being outdoors at Kansas City
• 48:30
  Speaker 4: when that crowd goes nuts, or outdoors at the lake.
• 48:34
  Speaker 4: But when I hear about the fact that the Eagles
• 48:36
  Speaker 4: could consider a dome stadium, and I understand why, so
• 48:40
  Speaker 4: it is able to be used for all kinds of around.
• 48:44
  Speaker 4: But give me football on a beautiful August beautiful not
• 48:47
  Speaker 4: August that much, that's the preseason, but on a beautiful
• 48:51
  Speaker 4: late September day during the fall and you look up
• 48:53
  Speaker 4: and the sky is blue. Or give me an Eagles
• 48:57
  Speaker 4: Dallas game late in December when everything is everything is
• 49:01
  Speaker 4: riding on it, and that the sky is slate gray
• 49:05
  Speaker 4: and you feel like you come on the air and
• 49:07
  Speaker 4: you say, and the sky is December. Serious, It's like
• 49:11
  Speaker 4: it all fits. I mean, it adds to the picture,
• 49:15
  Speaker 4: it adds to the drama. Give me an outdoor stadium
• 49:18
  Speaker 4: any day. And then there are stadiums that have removable roofs,
• 49:22
  Speaker 4: and I'm okay with that, except that if you play
• 49:25
  Speaker 4: the Cardinals in State Farm where State Farm Stadium, and
• 49:32
  Speaker 4: you play the Cardinals out there, it could be the
• 49:35
  Speaker 4: most beautiful seventy degree day. I mean not every day
• 49:38
  Speaker 4: in Arizona's one hundred and three. It could be the
• 49:40
  Speaker 4: most beautiful seventy three day, and a seventy three degree day,
• 49:45
  Speaker 4: and you walk in the stadium and the roof is closed,
• 49:49
  Speaker 4: and because they want to give the Cardinals the the
• 49:52
  Speaker 4: advantage of the crowd noise, and that that will close
• 49:56
  Speaker 4: the roof and that will lock it in. There's no
• 49:58
  Speaker 4: reason to do that. If you're going to have a
• 50:00
  Speaker 4: stadium with a removable roof, then the decision of whether
• 50:04
  Speaker 4: that roof is opened to close should be with the league,
• 50:07
  Speaker 4: and only should it be closed under extreme conditions.
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: Let me ask you this question, because every stadium has
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: its own ambiance and own difference. Because you've talked about
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: so far stadium. We know about how great it's been
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: for you at the link. What are your favorite stadiums
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: to call game in?
• 50:25
  Speaker 4: Well, first of all, the best pure broadcast location is
• 50:30
  Speaker 4: at Medlife. That's a great state.
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: Well as a reporter, because I was there for the
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: Miracle Meatlands too, I actually had a right for Fox
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: sports dot com the site the new stadium.
• 50:41
  Speaker 3: I was like, this is actually a beautiful stadium.
• 50:43
  Speaker 4: Great stadium, great stadium, and the scoreboards are actually on
• 50:47
  Speaker 4: the ground right behind the benches. You don't even have
• 50:50
  Speaker 4: to move your eyes. It's a great place in which
• 50:53
  Speaker 4: to broadcast a game. But my favorite stadium of all
• 50:58
  Speaker 4: because of its meaning, because of it's history. And I
• 51:01
  Speaker 4: say this to people all the time. If you're a
• 51:03
  Speaker 4: great football fan and you have a bucket list of
• 51:06
  Speaker 4: where you'd like to go, go to lambeau Field. There's
• 51:09
  Speaker 4: no place you feel it when you go. I do,
• 51:12
  Speaker 4: I really do I feel it. I just I get
• 51:15
  Speaker 4: such a thrill out of walking into that place. And
• 51:18
  Speaker 4: you walk into the whole town is out and they're
• 51:22
  Speaker 4: all outside the stadium. They're barbecuing brots. They're offering them
• 51:26
  Speaker 4: to anybody who walks by, would you like a broad star?
• 51:28
  Speaker 4: And the fans are great, but that stadium is just
• 51:32
  Speaker 4: you walk in and you can almost hear John Facender's
• 51:36
  Speaker 4: say the frozen tundra of Green Bay, Wisconsin. But it's
• 51:40
  Speaker 4: it's a great special place.
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: So you flew back with the team. You got here
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: early this morning. Today is Tuesday. The first practices to
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: whatever they're gonna have is probably walk through what's your
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: processing that the rest of the week. Well, I've already started.
• 51:55
  Speaker 4: Oh okay, so I've already started today setting up my book,
• 51:59
  Speaker 4: bringing out the depth chart of the Raiders, starting to
• 52:04
  Speaker 4: uh take a look at the stats from yesterday and
• 52:07
  Speaker 4: digest exactly where they fell statistically and looking at what
• 52:12
  Speaker 4: the Raiders are doing and and getting to know caught
• 52:15
  Speaker 4: up with the rest of the league. But I have
• 52:18
  Speaker 4: I begin right away, and then of course along with it,
• 52:22
  Speaker 4: I have to do a commentary every day for Audyssey Broadcasting.
• 52:27
  Speaker 4: Every single day I do a commentary was put on
• 52:31
  Speaker 4: It's okay, well though w Dave k W calls me
• 52:37
  Speaker 4: and I tape with him on Zoom every night. But
• 52:40
  Speaker 4: I also do a radio a thirty second commentary that
• 52:45
  Speaker 4: will go on all the Audisse stations.
• 52:47
  Speaker 3: Nice nice, very nice.
• 52:49
  Speaker 4: Now, now, Chris, if I played a commentary from my phone,
• 52:53
  Speaker 4: could you pick this up? Do you want me to
• 52:57
  Speaker 4: try because because I think you might want to hear this.
• 53:01
  Speaker 4: Oh okay, yeah, here here just just see if this works.
• 53:04
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 53:04
  Speaker 4: I'm just gonna try this interesting, see if it works
• 53:07
  Speaker 4: all right? I have to get here what you're doing
• 53:09
  Speaker 4: to hear? Now? Let me put this right up against
• 53:11
  Speaker 4: my microphone and try this.
• 53:16
  Speaker 3: From wednsday.
• 53:18
  Speaker 4: Have these last three games been tom Well.
• 53:21
  Speaker 3: I heard it? Yeah last week? Okay, let me try.
• 53:25
  Speaker 4: For Eagles fans, here we go again Wednesday. Have these
• 53:31
  Speaker 4: last three games been tough to endure for Eagles fans?
• 53:34
  Speaker 4: First the historic collapse at Big T, then the pounding
• 53:37
  Speaker 4: they took from the bears of the apptly named Black Friday,
• 53:40
  Speaker 4: and then the Monday and I miss out there against
• 53:43
  Speaker 4: the Chargers. Yet here they are, not looking super Bowl ready,
• 53:47
  Speaker 4: but still leading the NFC East. This week they get
• 53:50
  Speaker 4: a gift a visit from the two and eleven Raiders.
• 53:53
  Speaker 4: If they can take advantage of this, maybe Chicken Little
• 53:57
  Speaker 4: was right with the Eagles.
• 53:58
  Speaker 3: This is Merrill reeves. Very nice, very very nice.
• 54:01
  Speaker 4: You just basically say it on the show. Now that
• 54:03
  Speaker 4: came through.
• 54:04
  Speaker 3: It did very well. As a matter of fact, here's
• 54:06
  Speaker 3: here's so that's the kind of thing I do. I
• 54:08
  Speaker 3: got you.
• 54:09
  Speaker 2: So now after that they played Washington. Do you wait
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: till the next week or do you actually do it
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: a little bit advance on the next team.
• 54:15
  Speaker 3: Or just stay with this one.
• 54:16
  Speaker 4: I just stay with this one.
• 54:17
  Speaker 2: Now, do you have cards, because I think you've talked
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: about that before. Do you have like little index cards?
• 54:22
  Speaker 4: I have flash cards? Flash cards, okay, and and this
• 54:24
  Speaker 4: setup and Cindy quizzes me on them during the week.
• 54:27
  Speaker 2: Now, what is your great producer, Joseph A. McPeek do
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: for you for the game?
• 54:32
  Speaker 4: Absolutely nothing, really, he says, and watches the game, He
• 54:35
  Speaker 4: fiddles his thumb, he eats, he says, he does absolutely nothing.
• 54:39
  Speaker 3: Really.
• 54:39
  Speaker 4: I can't get him to do anything.
• 54:41
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 54:41
  Speaker 4: He's actually the busiest guy in the world. All those
• 54:44
  Speaker 4: things you hear me with the drive of the game
• 54:46
  Speaker 4: or they're in the the bora Heart and the health
• 54:48
  Speaker 4: Center red zone, and that Joe is handing me cards
• 54:52
  Speaker 4: throughout the day. He's timing everything, he's got all the breaks,
• 54:55
  Speaker 4: he's looking information, he's figuring out when to go down
• 54:58
  Speaker 4: to the sideline.
• 55:00
  Speaker 3: He is.
• 55:00
  Speaker 4: He is like the old one on one hand, one
• 55:04
  Speaker 4: armed pickerhanger. He's doing a million things, and he's really
• 55:08
  Speaker 4: a wonderful, wonderful producer, and he is celebrating his fortieth
• 55:12
  Speaker 4: year as the producer of these broadcasts.
• 55:14
  Speaker 3: That is phenomenal. And Bob, you know, I've never asked
• 55:16
  Speaker 3: this question.
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: Okay, the game's over, win or lose, you stay for
• 55:19
  Speaker 2: an hour, you go right home.
• 55:21
  Speaker 3: No, I am.
• 55:22
  Speaker 4: I don't eat during the day. I have pancakes in
• 55:26
  Speaker 4: the morning at the hotel or that house, the house,
• 55:29
  Speaker 4: because once I get to the citium, I am far
• 55:31
  Speaker 4: too nervous to do anything.
• 55:33
  Speaker 3: Up until you get nervous.
• 55:35
  Speaker 4: Scared to death, nervous in my stomach because I've done it.
• 55:38
  Speaker 4: It's like it's like going into a final exam. You've
• 55:40
  Speaker 4: studied all week and you've got all this stuff in
• 55:42
  Speaker 4: your head shirt. So I feel it until until Joe
• 55:46
  Speaker 4: accues me. He'll go thirty seconds, ten seconds, he'll cue me,
• 55:50
  Speaker 4: and I'll come on with the game and it all
• 55:52
  Speaker 4: goes away and I'm floating for the next three hours.
• 55:55
  Speaker 4: But I am nervous before a game. But I might
• 55:57
  Speaker 4: eat right through the broadcast, I do nothing. I drink
• 56:01
  Speaker 4: water or tea, and then in the fourth quarter I
• 56:03
  Speaker 4: have a nice coke to keep me up. And then
• 56:05
  Speaker 4: I go into the press room afterwards, and whether it's
• 56:09
  Speaker 4: lasagna or whatever they have in the press room, I
• 56:13
  Speaker 4: will eat. As soon as the broadcast is over. I
• 56:16
  Speaker 4: am ravenous, but within about fifteen minutes I'm in the jam,
• 56:20
  Speaker 4: in the traffic jam out in the parking lot heading home.
• 56:22

  Speaker 4: may just chat about something casually. I try not. The
• 56:36
  Speaker 4: only thing I tell Mike I have a book, and
• 56:39
  Speaker 4: the only thing I write in my book that will
• 56:41
  Speaker 4: go on the air verbatim is the open. And I'll
• 56:44
  Speaker 4: probably write the Open fifteen minutes before I go in
• 56:47
  Speaker 4: the air, based on how I feel, based on what
• 56:51
  Speaker 4: I can sense from the players down on the field.
• 56:54
