Welcome in to the show season four, episode 35.

15
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:34,480
I am fired up with you guys today.

16
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:36,200
I'm fired up for a lot of different reasons.

17
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,040
I'm actually pretty pissed off right now, I'll be honest with you.

18
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:40,080
Okay, I won't say I'm pissed off.

19
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:44,720
I'm highly annoyed right now.

20
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:46,520
Welcome in to you guys that didn't annoy me.

21
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,720
I welcome in to you guys, especially out of my new Instagram followers.

22
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:54,640
My Instagram blew up the past couple of days, for those of you who don't know.

23
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:56,200
My Instagram has really popped off.

24
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,320
Using my biggest engagement is Facebook.

25
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:02,840
I get some noise on Twitter, a little bit on X, but using my biggest thing is Facebook.

26
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:03,840
But lately it's been Instagram.

27
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:08,000
You guys are really interacting with the Reels.

28
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,000
Really interacting with my posts of highlights, stuff like that.

29
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,480
Jalen Ramsey, I know, and Kyler Murray for sure.

30
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:17,320
Their big plays this weekend popped off a lot.

31
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:18,320
So welcome in to you guys.

32
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,000
A lot of you guys followed me from my Reel.

33
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:22,400
So welcome in to you guys.

34
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,880
If you are tuning in to the show, tell your friends, share, like, subscribe, all that

35
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:26,880
good stuff.

36
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:30,680
Tell your friends about the page as well so they can stay in the know all in one place

37
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:34,240
that I haven't did with your sports and these reports and this and that.

38
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,400
And not get so much of the fake reporting and the bias.

39
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:42,280
You guys can just jump right into my page and get the facts straight up.

40
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:43,680
That's kind of what's annoying me right now.

41
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:47,360
I'm a person though, before I dive into the show.

42
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:52,080
Somebody I do know outside of just the reporting business call me bias because of what I said

43
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:53,080
about his terrible team's offense.

44
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:54,080
And because when you put on your own team, you didn't have that level of bias.

45
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:55,080
And I thought that was incredibly interesting.

46
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:56,080
I won't say any of their names of course.

47
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:57,080
But I had to get that off my chest.

48
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:58,080
So if I sound a little annoyed today, that's why.

49
00:02:58,080 --> 00:02:59,080
But you know, so for his team, I will make sure.

50
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:00,080
Actually, no, I'm not going to do my job.

51
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:01,080
Because you guys love me the way I am.

52
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:02,080
You guys respect me the way I am.

53
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:03,080
He's in his feelings about his team.

54
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:04,080
That's his bias.

55
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:05,080
And I'm going to be doing my job.

56
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:06,080
So I'm going to be doing my job.

57
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:07,080
I'm going to be doing my job.

58
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:08,080
I'm going to be doing my job.

59
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:09,080
I'm going to be doing my job.

60
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:10,080
I'm going to be doing my job.

61
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:23,080
So for his team, I will make sure.

62
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:27,080
But I admit it annoyed me a little bit.

63
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:34,080
Because people that know me outside of this business, I expect to not say things.

64
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:38,080
So just call me bias for telling a fact about his team's horrible offense.

65
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,080
And so that's just ridiculous.

66
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:41,080
Ridiculous to him.

67
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:47,080
He's actually calling other people in now to try and claim my bias with facts or facts.

68
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:48,080
But whatever.

69
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,080
Which is oddly what he called me on.

70
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,080
I say the facts about my own team.

71
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,080
My own team being the Patriots, his own team being the Terrible Saints.

72
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,080
But whatever.

73
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:02,080
And I engaged back and forth with him, normally further than I normally would.

74
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,080
But I end up doing it anyway.

75
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:05,080
But whatever.

76
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:06,080
Guy's ridiculous.

77
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,080
He's failing by his own team.

78
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:12,080
But anyway, we're going to move into the show now.

79
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,080
You guys know what I'm going to give you my personal beef.

80
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:15,080
We're going to go right into the show.

81
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,080
NFL Week 11 recording this on a Tuesday afternoon.

82
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,080
So it'll come out Wednesday morning as always.

83
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:21,080
So something pops off.

84
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,080
Of course, just the top sports social media will be all over it.

85
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,080
But it won't necessarily be covered in the pod.

86
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,080
For those of you who are new and are first time tuning in,

87
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:33,080
one of your first time tuning in is kind of let you in behind the curtain how this show operates.

88
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,080
We're going to start off NFL Week 11 as always.

89
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,080
We start with the past NFL week, then move into the new one.

90
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,080
So we're actually not going to go right into the games like normal.

91
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,080
We're going to get into some personal injury news.

92
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:47,080
A lot went down in the past few days.

93
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,080
Shaquille Leonard.

94
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:54,080
I mean, I woke up thinking when I woke up to the news that Matt Canada was fired,

95
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:55,080
I'm like, oh, that's my big story.

96
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,080
That's my eight block kicker off.

97
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:58,080
Whatever.

98
00:04:58,080 --> 00:04:59,080
It ends up being Shaquille Leonard.

99
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,080
It's way above the Indianapolis Colts.

100
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:06,080
He received one of the last big, it's like him and Fred Warner.

101
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:10,080
And Fred Warner, Bobby Wagner all got paid within a couple of seasons of each other.

102
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:14,080
Bobby Wagner and now Shaquille Leonard are the long gone most deals.

103
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,080
Fred Warner, of course, the best back in the linebacker of football.

104
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,080
He's still on his contract with the Niners.

105
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,080
But Shaquille Leonard was waived.

106
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:25,080
The Colts still owe him $7 million-ish.

107
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,080
Or $6 million, just $7 million.

108
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,080
For the rest of this season, he's been guaranteed money.

109
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:34,080
And then his next year's salary of about $19 million,

110
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,080
only about six or seven of it is guaranteed against injury.

111
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,080
Then the two years after that, about $19 million are not guaranteed at all,

112
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,080
from what I could tell.

113
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:43,080
His evidence injury stipulations are in it.

114
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,080
But next year is the important year.

115
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,080
You always look at one year out.

116
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:52,080
And so it's guaranteed partially against injury.

117
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,080
Shaquille Leonard, formerly known as Darius Leonard,

118
00:05:55,080 --> 00:06:00,080
is one of the best inside linebackers in pro football.

119
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:13,080
And so with that being said, his release merely, what, two years after signing this deal,

120
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,080
less than 18 months away from being one of the best,

121
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:20,080
considered one of the better middle linebackers in football.

122
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:23,080
Now he's no longer on the team.

123
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:27,080
Jemma Erse too got a statement, ironically, with the caption,

124
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:31,080
Tough business, which admittedly it is.

125
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:35,080
I mean, Darius Leonard, or Shaquille Leonard, or Shaq Leonard,

126
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,080
simply pulled one of the better middle linebackers in football.

127
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:43,080
He was huge in the community, which Mr. Erse, I give him credit for, gave him credit for that.

128
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,080
Actually, the day he was released, which was today,

129
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,080
he was still handing out turkeys in the community.

130
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:54,080
So that kind of should tell you what kind of guy Shaquille Leonard is.

131
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,080
People was wondering, was it a locker room thing?

132
00:06:56,080 --> 00:07:01,080
I think it's just productivity, and he's no longer what he was.

133
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,080
He had a back injury a couple years ago.

134
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,080
He was a second round pick in the 2018 drive for the Colts.

135
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,080
He's only 28 years old.

136
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:13,080
As I said, signed that big deal less than 18 months ago, for sure.

137
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,080
Many around the world were shocked.

138
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:18,080
He's a three-time All-Pro.

139
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,080
His playing time this year has been down.

140
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:27,080
He's been frustrated a lot this season in terms of how he was being used.

141
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:32,080
But he was still one of the better players in the league.

142
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,080
65 tackles this year.

143
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:41,080
No real major plays, but still, again, one of the better players in the league.

144
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,080
Only the better linebackers in the league.

145
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:47,080
But this is a tough business, and I think the Colts looked at,

146
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:53,080
look, we got him on the books for $19 million for another three seasons.

147
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,080
Could they have waited until the offseason?

148
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,080
Sure.

149
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:58,080
I agree.

150
00:07:58,080 --> 00:07:59,080
I'm gonna just look at his numbers.

151
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:02,080
2022, he had the back injury and he played three games.

152
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:06,080
But his rookie year, he had 163 total tackles.

153
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:10,080
2019, he had 121.

154
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,080
2020, he went for 132.

155
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,080
2021, he went for 122.

156
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,080
And I think it's when he had the contract after 2021.

157
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:20,080
Gets injured in 2022.

158
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,080
Played nine games so far in 2023.

159
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:26,080
He's had 65 tackles.

160
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:29,080
His solo percentage is way down, just for what I can tell.

161
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,080
He's been getting a lot of assisted tackles.

162
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:34,080
He's not making nearly the plays he was.

163
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:37,080
Also, no sacks the last three seasons.

164
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,080
He's not forced to fumble this year.

165
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,080
He's not recovered a fumble this year.

166
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,080
Of course, he's not scored.

167
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:50,080
You know, he's having issues with what made him great.

168
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,080
And so when you got that,

169
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:56,080
coupled with the fact of a very expensive contract now,

170
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:57,080
I'm the colt.

171
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,080
I don't see the benefit of waiving him this season.

172
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,080
He didn't ask for his release, which my brain,

173
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:07,080
part of my brain went for like, hey, maybe he asked for this release.

174
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:10,080
He realized right into the wall, they were looking at a younger player.

175
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,080
Players have common sense.

176
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,080
Okay, younger players in the building, a lot cheaper than I am.

177
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,080
My playing time's going down.

178
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:18,080
Let me get out of here.

179
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:19,080
See if I can revive something.

180
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,080
But no, he didn't ask for that.

181
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:25,080
And I've thought, you know, he's fully guaranteed a Saturday this year,

182
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:26,080
only guaranteed he gets into it next year.

183
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,080
Why not simply wait?

184
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:29,080
Play him this year.

185
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,080
You still have an outside chance at the playoffs.

186
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:34,080
Play him this year.

187
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:38,080
If it comes down to it, you release him as a post-April 1 deadline.

188
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,080
Your office books entirely a post-June 1st designation.

189
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,080
Your office contracts entirely, and you don't have to worry about it anymore.

190
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,080
But they moved on now.

191
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:47,080
Good for Shaq Leonard.

192
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,080
He still gets a salary anyway.

193
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:52,080
I'm not sure about the offset language, but I'm sure he'll be,

194
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,080
he'll be in a new home within a couple of weeks.

195
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,080
I don't vet minimum deal, probably an contender.

196
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,080
I don't see saying Fran.

197
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,080
You gotta get Fran Warner and get down to 3-4.

198
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:05,080
So there's no benefit to bringing in Shaquille Leonard.

199
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,080
The team that jumped out to me immediately was Minnesota.

200
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:09,080
They're down.

201
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:10,080
They're starting to get a linebacker.

202
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,080
They're actually running around with Anthony Barr.

203
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,080
Buffalo does not have Milano.

204
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:19,080
Miami, I can't name one of their linebackers.

205
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:23,080
Houston, that'd be great to bring him in to be Corian.

206
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,080
He's a veteran player.

207
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,080
Kind of use him like Fran Warner.

208
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:31,080
He's a little bit less highlighted than Fran Warner, but you can use him there.

209
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:36,080
And then lastly and certainly not least, from half a second,

210
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:40,080
I do mean a half a second, I consider the charges here.

211
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:44,080
Khalil Mack, Derrick James, Kenneth Murray,

212
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:49,080
they could protect him there and he can still have the ability to flow

213
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:50,080
and fly to the ball.

214
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,080
So I thought about the charges there as well.

215
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:57,080
We'll definitely see where else, where he lands.

216
00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,080
I'm sure he'll land somewhere, because you know that a little later.

217
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:05,080
Matt Canada has been fired by the Pittsburgh Steelers.

218
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:08,080
People have been complaining about Matt Canada as an offensive coach

219
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,080
since he was at Pittsburgh.

220
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,080
He was in the University of Pittsburgh.

221
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,080
And then he left Pittsburgh and ran to LSU.

222
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:19,080
He was so bad at LSU, I think after a year he was gone from LSU.

223
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:23,080
And then he somehow landed as a QB coach for the Steelers.

224
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,080
And then he gets promoted to offensive coordinator.

225
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,080
He was there serving in the roles of 2021.

226
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,080
And in 2023 he's out.

227
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:34,080
It was so bad that the Steelers made a move in season.

228
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:39,080
I believe that is the first head coach or coordinator since Chuck Noll

229
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:42,080
to be relieved of their duties during the season.

230
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,080
Tell you how bad Matt Canada was.

231
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,080
And it was not just the fact that he was bad,

232
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:49,080
it was the fact that he was losing the locker room,

233
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:50,080
or he had lost it.

234
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:55,080
Mike Tommin, by keeping him, was losing the locker room.

235
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:58,080
You know, he had the incident with George Pickens earlier in the year

236
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,080
where he wipes all the Steelers stuff off his...

237
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:06,080
He wiped all the Steelers stuff off his social medias

238
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,080
and requested to be released.

239
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:09,080
Forget traded.

240
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,080
He requested to be released.

241
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,080
Without the trade deadlines, he couldn't be traded anyway,

242
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,080
but he requested to be released.

243
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,080
Obviously, that didn't happen.

244
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:20,080
Mike Tommin caused it a couple of issues.

245
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:23,080
Then there was an incident prior to that.

246
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,080
Steelers started breading the wind.

247
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:28,080
Matt Canada goes into the locker room excited.

248
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:29,080
Great job, guys, whatever.

249
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:33,080
The punter, Chris Boswell, the last one to do a famous triple B,

250
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:36,080
I believe it was four Bs at that point,

251
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:41,080
but it was Bell, Ben, Brown, and Boswell was actually around.

252
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,080
Boswell yells in the middle of the hallway,

253
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,080
not even the locker room, entering the locker room,

254
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:49,080
and it ain't because of you, Matt Canada.

255
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,080
Then you have Najee Harris just last week saying

256
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:53,080
something's got to change.

257
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:54,080
Something's got to change.

258
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,080
He said, I come into the game, I go nowhere.

259
00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,080
Jalen Warren comes into the game, it's a different play style.

260
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,080
He's popping off runs left and right.

261
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,080
He wasn't saying he didn't hate Jalen Warren.

262
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,080
Jalen Warren is his teammate.

263
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:07,080
He wants Jalen Warren to succeed.

264
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:11,080
His issue was why does the offense look differently

265
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,080
and the run game look different?

266
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,080
The designs of the plays look different

267
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,080
when Jalen Warren's in the game

268
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,080
juxtaposed to when he's in the game.

269
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:20,080
So that was his complaint.

270
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:23,080
It's kind of like Patriots fans had last season.

271
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:27,080
The Bailey Zappi offense under Matt Patricia

272
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:30,080
and the Mac Jones offense under Matt Patricia

273
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:32,080
schemed were two different offenses.

274
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:33,080
Why?

275
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:36,080
If the Bailey Zappi offense worked for Bailey Zapp

276
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:39,080
and the Mac Jones offense is failing for Mac Jones,

277
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:41,080
even though the Bailey Zapp offense wasn't much better,

278
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,080
it's still better.

279
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:44,080
It's more downfield.

280
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:45,080
It was just a better offense at the time.

281
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,080
I mean, it's not a Patriots segment,

282
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:50,080
but it was a better offense.

283
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,080
So Najee Harris made the same complaint.

284
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:55,080
Jalen Warren is getting different styles of runs than I am.

285
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,080
He's getting different scheme runs than I am.

286
00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:58,080
What's that about?

287
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,080
If these runs are working,

288
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:01,080
why am I not getting those runs?

289
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,080
I'm consistently getting the runs that aren't working

290
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:06,080
and he's consistently getting the runs that aren't working.

291
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,080
And it's not like we're running the same kind of runs

292
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:09,080
and he's still better.

293
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:13,080
We have two different sets of run plays, it looks like.

294
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:17,080
When Najee spoke up, Najee's not a talker.

295
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:20,080
The punter yelling to the locker room, he can just keep that.

296
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:23,080
George Pickens, you can just keep that.

297
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:27,080
He's a hothead from his time at Georgia,

298
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:30,080
famously slams the guy into the wall between the hedges,

299
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,080
you can just keep that.

300
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:37,080
When Najee Harris speaks up specifically and schematically,

301
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:38,080
it's hard to just use that.

302
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,080
You're starting to lose the locker room

303
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,080
because if Najee Harris is speaking up publicly,

304
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:45,080
that means a lot of people have conversations privately.

305
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:48,080
And so Mike Tomlin said it best.

306
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:51,080
It was a hard decision, but it was necessary.

307
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,080
You couldn't lose the locker room.

308
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:56,080
Mike Tomlin gets his guys to go 100% through every wall he sees,

309
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:59,080
regardless of what's happening around them.

310
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,080
And I'm sure the players are like,

311
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:06,080
look, man, you're asking us to give 10,000% to you,

312
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:07,080
you got to give it back to us.

313
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,080
You got to give us a chance.

314
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:13,080
You saw the Bills offense, though they were playing the Jets.

315
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:18,080
The Bills offense looked a little bit revitalized under Joe Brady.

316
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:23,080
Now, the Ken Dorsey offense was doing way better than the McHenry offense.

317
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:28,080
The McHenry offense was outscored, was outgained in every game this season.

318
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,080
I honestly didn't know that was possible.

319
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,080
They had not had a 400-yard total offense game,

320
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,080
and who knows when.

321
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,080
They were outgained in every single game this season,

322
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,080
and somehow they sit six and four.

323
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:41,080
That's a credit to Mike Tomlin and the culture, he said.

324
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,080
Mike Tomlin saw the time, the standard is the standard.

325
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:47,080
Mac Canada was not producing at the standard, so they moved on.

326
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,080
Now, I think they need to move on.

327
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,080
Ken Pickett, as well.

328
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:54,080
I think that's a disaster.

329
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:59,080
I just think he wasn't that great at the University of Pittsburgh.

330
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:00,080
He stayed in the same stadium.

331
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,080
Instead of making a left to the hallway, he made it to the right now.

332
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:06,080
And it's about as bad as it was.

333
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:13,080
It's actually worse because he wasn't getting help from Mac Canada at Pittsburgh Steelers.

334
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:16,080
But now, instead of Mike Tomlin moving on,

335
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:20,080
he split the duties of OC amongst his running back coach and his quarterback coach.

336
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:24,080
The running back coach does the game plan and the install.

337
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:27,080
The quarterback coach does the play calling.

338
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:31,080
I'm assuming because the QB coach and Ken Pickett have a better relationship,

339
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:34,080
that's why he wants him doing the play calling.

340
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:39,080
But hey, we'll see how it works out, if it works out.

341
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:42,080
Zach Wilson, the much-maligned quarterback.

342
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:45,080
I know I've been beating him up on this show the past couple of weeks,

343
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:50,080
especially considering that I called it, that's what I'm looking for,

344
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:54,080
professional malfeasance of Robert Sala and Nathaniel Hackett

345
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:58,080
to continue to jog out Zach Wilson on the field.

346
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:01,080
He has not only been benched, he has been demoted to the third string.

347
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:05,080
Normally third string quarterbacks are inactive, but they're slotted as the emergency quarterback.

348
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:11,080
It's the rule that the NFL put in after the Niners had Christian McCaffrey

349
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,080
play quarterback in the playoff game.

350
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:19,080
Good thing I had two quarterbacks, they had Brock Purdy, and they had, it wasn't Lance.

351
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:21,080
I can't think of the quarterback now.

352
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:26,080
But anyway, Purdy blows out his elbow, and then the other quarterback gets hurt.

353
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:29,080
They played Christian McCaffrey for a little while, that's not going anywhere.

354
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:34,080
No, they run Brock Purdy back on the field, but they realize he can't throw.

355
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:38,080
So they put Christian McCaffrey, our quarterback, it was a disaster.

356
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:44,080
So now the NFL has put in a rule that states that you can have a quarterback inactive,

357
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:48,080
but he can either be allowed to dress, and he'll be called the emergency quarterback.

358
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:53,080
Meaning he cannot play until both other quarterbacks are injured.

359
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,080
I don't even think it's injured in terms of like, in a tent.

360
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:59,080
Like they have to both be ruled out, and then that guy can play.

361
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:04,080
And it's like, you can't have an emergency receiver, you can't have an emergency tight end,

362
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:05,080
any emergency kicker, anything.

363
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:07,080
It has to be an emergency quarterback.

364
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:10,080
Like I said, that was specifically done because of the 49ers debacle,

365
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,080
the disaster last season.

366
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:19,080
So I think Zach Wilson's going to be inactive and placed into that emergency quarterback position

367
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,080
as the third string quarterback.

368
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:26,080
But Tim Boyle is now the starter in New York.

369
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:36,080
Tim Boyle is, to be kind, awful, if I'm going to be quite frank with you.

370
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:39,080
He's been awful every step of his life.

371
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:45,080
And no point is he been good.

372
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:50,080
Tim Boyle in his career, he's appeared in 18 games.

373
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:53,080
He's 61% completion percentage, not bad.

374
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:56,080
5.1 yards attempt, that's awful.

375
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:59,080
Popularized at completion? No, attempt, that's awful.

376
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:03,080
Three touchdowns, nine interceptions, awful.

377
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:06,080
He has a passer rating of 50.9.

378
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:12,080
He has, he's just bad.

379
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,080
His collar size is even worse.

380
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:17,080
You can't use like one touchdown, three picks.

381
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:21,080
I can pull up his collar stats right here.

382
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:26,080
And Connecticut, he was one touchdown, 13 picks at Connecticut.

383
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:30,080
Over his career, now he has his Eastern Kentucky stats.

384
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:35,080
He was one touchdown, he had 13 picks at UConn, not great.

385
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:37,080
But that's the new starter for the New York Jets.

386
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:44,080
And then Trevor Simeon is the immediate backup for the Jets as well.

387
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:48,080
He was on his couch two months ago, like Shannon Sharpe said this morning,

388
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,080
in the carpool line with his kids.

389
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:52,080
That was Trevor Simeon two weeks ago.

390
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:56,080
And now he's the backup, and Zach Wilson promoted to a 30-year quarterback,

391
00:19:56,080 --> 00:20:00,080
which I'm presuming again he's gonna get placed in the emergency slot.

392
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:04,080
Meaning if Simeon and Boyle get ruled out,

393
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:08,080
then they will allow Zach Wilson to come on the field and play quarterback for the Jets,

394
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:11,080
which would probably be the Jets fans' worst nightmare.

395
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:14,080
This is not a Nathaniel Hackett bashing show.

396
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,080
Zach Wilson doesn't help you.

397
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:20,080
Although, aside from Prime Man Rogers, Nathaniel Hackett has looked awful everywhere.

398
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,080
You know, we'll get to Nathaniel Hackett later.

399
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:23,080
We'll get to Nathaniel Hackett later.

400
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:27,080
We're gonna talk about the Broncos, we're gonna get to Nathaniel Hackett later.

401
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:28,080
And then some injury news.

402
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:31,080
Michael Thomas has been placed on injury reserve

403
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:34,080
for the New Orleans Saints in their putrid offense.

404
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:37,080
The only offense worse than them is ours.

405
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:39,080
It's the Patriots offense.

406
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:43,080
So Michael Thomas is placed on injury reserve

407
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:47,080
and with a knee injury, meaning he's out for at least four games.

408
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:52,080
The Saints are already struggling, but they are still in the hunt for the NRC South,

409
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:56,080
and they're gonna have to do it without Michael Thomas, number 13.

410
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,080
And then of course the quarterback injury news.

411
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:01,080
Deshaun Watson had successful surgery.

412
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,080
He is expected to be ready for 2024.

413
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:09,080
And Joe Burrow, of course, is out for the year with a wrist ligament damage injury

414
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,080
for the Cincinnati Bengals.

415
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:14,080
They'll look to try to survive without him.

416
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,080
It didn't start off well against the Ravens last week,

417
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:17,080
but they'll look to well.

418
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:19,080
That's the game happening, I'm sorry.

419
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:22,080
They'll try to survive the rest of the season without him.

420
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:23,080
But it didn't look good.

421
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:25,080
I'm sorry if it's after Burrow went out,

422
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:30,080
but now they're gonna try and figure out life without Joe Burrow.

423
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:37,080
But on to the game just last night, Chiefs versus Eagles.

424
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:42,080
A lot of things I noticed about the game, and the main thing was the Chiefs drops.

425
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,080
They lead the league in drops by five, I think.

426
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,080
They have the most jobs as a team, 26.

427
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:48,080
The jobs haunted them all night.

428
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:51,080
Travis Kelsey had a big-time job off the middle of the field.

429
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:52,080
They either doesn't happen.

430
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:53,080
Mark Quayes Roddard.

431
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:58,080
Scanling had a characteristic deep ball drop on the game-winning touchdown.

432
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:02,080
I just don't think the Eagles come back and score the way that game was flowing.

433
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:06,080
Mahomes hits stats a couple minutes left in the game.

434
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,080
Valdez Scanling slides into the end zone.

435
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:14,080
Chiefs go up three, probably not having this discussion right now.

436
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:16,080
And then even late in the game on the fourth and 25,

437
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:19,080
it goes right through the back upside-down Scanling.

438
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,080
Bell, it goes right through Bell's hands.

439
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:22,080
Tough catch.

440
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,080
Mahomes could have brought it down about a foot,

441
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:25,080
but it still went through both hands,

442
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:29,080
past the first down marker that Chiefs now again have an opportunity

443
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:32,080
to negate this conversation we're having right now.

444
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:34,080
But, yeah, it did not happen.

445
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:35,080
None of those things happened.

446
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:36,080
Kelsey did drop it.

447
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:39,080
Kelsey did fumble in the red zone.

448
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,080
Mahomes hit the red zone at interception.

449
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:45,080
No, Mark Quayes Valdez Scanling did drop the ball, per usual.

450
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:48,080
And Bell, I think it's his name, Bell,

451
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:52,080
did have the ball go right through his hands towards the end of the game.

452
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:55,080
They had five drops last night.

453
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,080
I can remember three very vividly.

454
00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:01,080
They were game-to-squad, so I'm sure there was a couple others.

455
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:05,080
I think they missed, and I know he can't do anything about the drops.

456
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:08,080
They missed Air to be enemy.

457
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:11,080
I think Air to be enemy misses now.

458
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,080
And everybody misses Tyreek Hill.

459
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:17,080
Tyreek Hill is making the Miami Dolphins offense when it's on,

460
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:18,080
unregardable.

461
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:20,080
The time he scored against the Raiders,

462
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:23,080
he catches the ball in the middle of four Raiders,

463
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,080
splits the difference, and just runs.

464
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,080
He runs past all of them.

465
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:28,080
He never jukes one of them.

466
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,080
He doesn't stiff-arm anybody.

467
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:34,080
He catches it, puts his left foot in the ground, launches with two of his right foot,

468
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:38,080
and like a silent day, he's all running through the entire gap.

469
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:39,080
Insane.

470
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:44,080
But the commander started off as one of the hottest pass offense in the league.

471
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:50,080
I still believe actually Sam Howell's numbers are slightly better than Patrick Howell's.

472
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,080
That's a credit to Air to be enemy.

473
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:55,080
I don't believe in Sam Howell, but I say I didn't.

474
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:56,080
Geez.

475
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:59,080
I don't believe in Sam Howell in the slightest.

476
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:02,080
But with Air to be enemy there, he's looked average.

477
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:05,080
He's putting up above average statistical numbers,

478
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:11,080
but he's looked average so far this season.

479
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:13,080
I mean, again, his numbers look above average,

480
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:17,080
but he currently looks average.

481
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:22,080
Actually, Sam Howell is still leading the league in yards.

482
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:24,080
He's played an extra game in some people.

483
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:29,080
So if you go to yards per game, a lot of people are tied at one.

484
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:34,080
He's actually fourth in yards per game right now behind CJ Stroud,

485
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:38,080
to Ataka Valoa, and Kirk Cousins, which Kirk Cousins is out.

486
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:40,080
So you count quarterbacks that are still active.

487
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:48,080
Sam Howell is third in the league right now in yards per game.

488
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:50,080
But I think he's falling down the list in touchdowns.

489
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:51,080
I'm a bit too core very much there.

490
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:52,080
I don't know.

491
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,080
He's seventh in the league in touchdowns, 18, 12 in the instructions.

492
00:24:54,080 --> 00:25:00,080
He's got a passer rating of 89, so a little bit less than a great passer rating.

493
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:08,080
However, I don't see Apache Moms has 19 touchdowns, 90 picks,

494
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:12,080
passer ratings of 94, so five point difference in passer rating,

495
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,080
yards per game.

496
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:17,080
Howell has the advantage of about 15 yards per game.

497
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:20,080
So his percentage of Moms is 67.

498
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:22,080
Howell's at 67.

499
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:25,080
66.7, Moms is 67.1.

500
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:28,080
So.5 on the passer rating.

501
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:32,080
And that's between Sam Howell and Patrick Moms.

502
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:35,080
That's between me, I think, as the next GOAT in Patrick Moms,

503
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:39,080
and a guy who the nation's capital probably wants to get rid of, Sam Howell.

504
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,080
I know I've never believed in Sam Howell.

505
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:42,080
I didn't believe in North Carolina.

506
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:45,080
I don't believe in his North Carolina compadre, Drake May, either.

507
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:53,080
But Airbnb has bridged the gap between Patrick Moms and Sam Howell.

508
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:56,080
Now, Howell has Terry McLaurin.

509
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,080
Moms doesn't.

510
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:01,080
But Moms has Travis Kelcey.

511
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:04,080
Howell has Logan Thomas.

512
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:07,080
That's where it gets a little different.

513
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:11,080
But that's a big gap.

514
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:13,080
So I think the Chiefs are missing Airbnb.

515
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:15,080
Airbnb's missing them.

516
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,080
Everybody's missing Tyree Hill.

517
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:19,080
That's not going to help the drops, per se.

518
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:23,080
But I think some of the easy throws, some of the simple throws,

519
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:26,080
some of the play designs where Kelcey would pop open wide open,

520
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:29,080
it didn't matter if Kelcey was back there before the snap.

521
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:32,080
It didn't matter if you had a safety, a corner down,

522
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:35,080
a safety pass, a linebacker all watching Kelcey.

523
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:39,080
Some raw combination would happen, and Kelcey would pop open in the middle of the field

524
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:41,080
just standing there by himself.

525
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:44,080
And so these easy throws, these easy completions,

526
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:48,080
these little pitching catches where Kelcey would get that last drive

527
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:51,080
to be the Travis Kelcey shot.

528
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:52,080
Foul, dead, scam.

529
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:53,080
Man, get out of here.

530
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:58,080
That was about to be Travis Kelcey's forward catches on five targets for 55 yards,

531
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:01,080
and then Pacheco running in the end zone with 10 seconds left.

532
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:03,080
That was how that drive was set up.

533
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:06,080
My homies get a scramble, get a rough-and-the-passer call,

534
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:08,080
get a pass interference.

535
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,080
Kelcey catches four balls, Pacheco runs twice,

536
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:14,080
and you dump it to like the sky more for the touchdowns.

537
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:15,080
And that was the game.

538
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,080
It was like 10 seconds left.

539
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:21,080
But instead, you had a hold, you had a grounding.

540
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:25,080
You got your rough-and-the-passer, but you didn't get your pass interference.

541
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:27,080
Kelcey never got free.

542
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:32,080
You didn't have that random 20-yard catch from somebody you never heard of.

543
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:36,080
It just was those easy drives, those easy completions,

544
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:39,080
those easy shot plays were not there last night.

545
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:44,080
Credit to the Eagles secondary, which is mind-boggling to say,

546
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:52,080
considering it's one of the worst secondaries I've seen in quite a long time.

547
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:55,080
From the Eagles themselves, they really haven't fixed it.

548
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:57,080
I mean, they got Kevin Byard in there.

549
00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,080
He made the interception on the homies in the red zone.

550
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:02,080
Kudos to him.

551
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:06,080
You know, Terah Edmonds, maybe he doesn't make that play, who Byard replaced.

552
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:09,080
But kudos to him for making the interception.

553
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:12,080
But again, the drops.

554
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:15,080
If Valdez Scanlon catches that touchdown, we're having a different conversation.

555
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:19,080
If Travis Kelcey holds onto the football and didn't get punched on

556
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:23,080
and the ball comes out, we're having a different conversation right now.

557
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:26,080
So I think the drops are killing the Chiefs right now.

558
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:28,080
You can't leave the league in a draw, especially about that big of a gap

559
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,080
when it's made to a big of an offense.

560
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:32,080
They have the worst second half offensively.

561
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:35,080
They have about four points again in the second half this season.

562
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:37,080
They even shut out the last three second halves.

563
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:41,080
Considering the offense, considering that to me after halftime,

564
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:43,080
it's all been about the coach.

565
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:47,080
The first 15 plays and then after halftime.

566
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:49,080
Because the first 15 plays are scripted.

567
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:51,080
Especially 10 to 15 plays are scripted.

568
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:54,080
This play, go into that play, go into this play, go into that play.

569
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:57,080
You'll practice the script all week.

570
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,080
This goes into that, this goes into that.

571
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:00,080
You see this, check into this.

572
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:04,080
Basically the NFL, those 15 plays, really 45 plays or 30 plays.

573
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:06,080
Because everything has to check.

574
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:12,080
You know, so it could be whatever the first, whatever the pass is, check this.

575
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:15,080
So if you get a light box, it's supposed to be a pass, cool.

576
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:17,080
We're going to check into this run.

577
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:20,080
And regardless, it's still feeding to the next look you're giving.

578
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:22,080
Everything is scripted out.

579
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:25,080
And then after halftime, you got 15 minutes to adjust.

580
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:26,080
Really not 15 minutes.

581
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:28,080
It takes about two minutes to get in there.

582
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:31,080
Especially if they pull you in for a coaching interview, three minutes.

583
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:34,080
And you want a warm up period of about five minutes.

584
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:36,080
So you really got eight minutes.

585
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:40,080
Eight to ten minutes, we don't know how fast you get things done.

586
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:42,080
To get ready for this next half.

587
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:45,080
That's quick adjustments, that's what we were seeing on the last computer.

588
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:46,080
I couldn't do it on the sideline.

589
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:48,080
This is what I could do, this adjustment.

590
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:50,080
I'm not going to change this person, another group, etc.

591
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:52,080
That happens in about ten minutes.

592
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:54,080
That's a coordinator and coach thing.

593
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:55,080
It's not a player thing.

594
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:58,080
So the fact that the Chiefs are the worst second half offense in the league,

595
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:01,080
that's crazy about the coordinator is something wrong.

596
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:04,080
And that there's something wrong dramatically in coaching wise.

597
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:07,080
Because everybody in the league is coming back out the half and figuring it out.

598
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:08,080
Everybody.

599
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:11,080
It's not like it's just, oh, they had a bad stretch.

600
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:15,080
Four points I gained in the second half.

601
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:16,080
All season.

602
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:20,080
No points at all in the past three games.

603
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:21,080
Dolphins.

604
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:23,080
I think it's Dolphins, Raiders.

605
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:25,080
Dolphins, Raiders, and Eagles?

606
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:29,080
I know Dolphins and Eagles for sure.

607
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:33,080
Have not allowed a point in the second half today.

608
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:36,080
It's in the last three contests.

609
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:39,080
I'm sorry, Broncos.

610
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:40,080
Duh, it is.

611
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:44,080
Dolphins, Broncos.

612
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:48,080
Broncos, Dolphins, Chiefs is their last three opponents.

613
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:51,080
They're not allowing a point to them in the second half.

614
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:54,080
And so that has to be massively concerning.

615
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:56,080
Again, that's a coordinator and coach problem.

616
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:58,080
Because the other side is adjusting and you're not.

617
00:30:58,080 --> 00:30:59,080
The other side is figuring it out.

618
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:01,080
You can't crack their code.

619
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:02,080
So that's it.

620
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:07,080
To me, that would be scary if I'm a Chiefs fan.

621
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:09,080
Couple of quick hitters.

622
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:12,080
Jalen Hurst looks a little off with that left knee.

623
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:15,080
They show his brace a lot on TV, especially last night.

624
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:17,080
They kept zooming in on his brace.

625
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:18,080
It became nauseating.

626
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:21,080
He got tired of saying his left knee brace.

627
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:24,080
But he looks a little off with that brace.

628
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:27,080
Although the touch push is still incredibly successful.

629
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:31,080
It's something like 53 or 58 in the Jalen Hurts era with the touch push.

630
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:34,080
It's insane.

631
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:35,080
The Broncos.

632
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaking of those Broncos, up on the fourth straight,

633
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:40,080
including beating Josh Dobbs and Cinderella Vikings,

634
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:42,080
who were winning the five straight,

635
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:45,080
the Broncos have won four straight now to get back to 500.

636
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:47,080
They started off with three, started off with four,

637
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:49,080
now they're back to 500.

638
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:52,080
If you spend a little bit, they've won five of their last six.

639
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:55,080
Great six-week stretch for the Broncos.

640
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:57,080
A lot of shade.

641
00:31:57,080 --> 00:32:00,080
I commented it, but a lot of shade.

642
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,080
Okay, the media side of the game.

643
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,080
The coach side rebuked it.

644
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:07,080
But a lot of the shade was thrown to Sean Payton

645
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:09,080
about what he said about the thing lacking.

646
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:11,080
What he said in terms of the organization.

647
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:13,080
What he said in terms of how things were done last year.

648
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:17,080
And people were making Sean Payton pay in the media.

649
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:20,080
Oh, they were excoriating him.

650
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:21,080
The team side of it went three.

651
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:25,080
Even when they were winning for Russell Walsh, Sean Payton's a mess,

652
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:27,080
Saints fans were slandering him.

653
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:29,080
It was bad.

654
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:33,080
Anybody who wasn't a Broncos,

655
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:37,080
anybody who wasn't Sean Payton's family was slandering him.

656
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:39,080
Shannick Sharp was killing him on TV.

657
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:42,080
Stephen A. Smith, like I said, Saints fans were at his neck.

658
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:44,080
Of course, Jets fans were coming.

659
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:47,080
Whoever could get their shots off of Russell Wilson

660
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:49,080
or the Broncos would take it on them.

661
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:50,080
Now it's Crickets.

662
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:52,080
They had one four straight.

663
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:53,080
The offense was good.

664
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:55,080
Russell Wilson's made two great throws,

665
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:58,080
specifically to Courtland Sutton in the past couple of weeks,

666
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:00,080
to win football games.

667
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:04,080
You have the defenses rolling.

668
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:09,080
And so they look like a team that can make, sneak into the playoffs.

669
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:12,080
I mean, to go from whatever the hell that was,

670
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:15,080
when Nathan Hackett relieves himself for offensive coordinator duties

671
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:18,080
by week two or week three,

672
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,080
takes them back at some point,

673
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:23,080
relieves himself for game management duties.

674
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:24,080
It was weird.

675
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:27,080
It inspired himself like 13 or 14.

676
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:30,080
You've got Sean Payton now who has his team believing in himself

677
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:31,080
in the Mount High City.

678
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:34,080
You've got people believing in them in the Mount High City.

679
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:37,080
And so that's huge for the Broncos.

680
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:40,080
I think they have an ability to try to make the playoffs

681
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:41,080
and make a little noise.

682
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:44,080
Well, the Lions, you know, they're just magical.

683
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:45,080
They came back against the Bears.

684
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:46,080
I don't know how.

685
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:49,080
They seem like they are just a magical team investing.

686
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:50,080
Dan Campbell, it's like a guy.

687
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:51,080
You know, week three.

688
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:53,080
Him, Mike Tomlin.

689
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:55,080
Andy Reid gives his vibe off.

690
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:58,080
Belichick used to give it off.

691
00:33:58,080 --> 00:33:59,080
Not as strong anymore.

692
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:03,080
Mike Vrabel are guys that give off the vibe of,

693
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:05,080
I would run through a freaking wall for you.

694
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:08,080
And they're going to want to be the one to bust the wall down.

695
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:11,080
Like, it is insane how he gets those guys going.

696
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:12,080
They believe in themselves.

697
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:14,080
It doesn't matter how far down they go.

698
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:16,080
We laugh at the bite triangle,

699
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:17,080
the bite off a kneecap,

700
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:18,080
the bite off another kneecap.

701
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:19,080
We laugh at all that.

702
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:21,080
But then after a hard knock,

703
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:24,080
a lot of people bought in to Dan Campbell.

704
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:26,080
And now the results are the results.

705
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:27,080
They're seven and three.

706
00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:29,080
They're a damn good football team.

707
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:33,080
They're one of those teams that you're not going to want to see in the playoffs.

708
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:35,080
Jared Goff can hit you for 30, 35 points in the game.

709
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:38,080
Aiden Hutchinson's not starting to bend the edge.

710
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:40,080
They need a linebacker.

711
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:41,080
I say it's Shaq Leonard.

712
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:43,080
If he's healthy and can play,

713
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:47,080
Shaq Leonard would be a good spot right there.

714
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:50,080
And then, of course,

715
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:55,080
you have that secondary starting to make plays as well.

716
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:58,080
So the Lions are a very interesting team.

717
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:02,080
But up next, sorry for the long winded eight block.

718
00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:04,080
I told you guys I was fired up today.

719
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:07,080
Up next, we're going to shift to NFL Week 12

720
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:36,080
and give you a preview of what's going down.

721
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:39,080
Welcome back to the show.

722
00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:43,080
And now we're going to discuss NFL Week 12 coming up.

723
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:45,080
Again, sorry for the long winded eight block.

724
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:47,080
I was impassioned about the stuff.

725
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:49,080
I was, you know, by nonsense.

726
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:52,080
Plus, it was a very important week, very impactful week.

727
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:54,080
I'm fresh, I'm energized.

728
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:58,080
I benefited from being a high school coach off this week.

729
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:01,080
So I have a lot of energy running around my team, unfortunately,

730
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:03,080
and I'm going to be working on that.

731
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:06,080
So I have a lot of energy running around my team, unfortunately,

732
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:07,080
but I'm still playing.

733
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:09,080
But it will be this time next year.

734
00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:11,080
So be ready to get those updates.

735
00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:13,080
We'll be playing this time next year, don't worry.

736
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:16,080
But a lot of energy at the moment.

737
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:20,080
But on to NFL Week 12.

738
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:22,080
We have a loaded Thanksgiving Day schedule.

739
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:25,080
Actually, out of the six games I'm going to talk about,

740
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:27,080
three of them are from Thanksgiving.

741
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:29,080
Packers at Lions is a very interesting game.

742
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:35,080
We won't pick it, it's in Jack's Pack, which actually let me check off

743
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:38,080
the games I can't talk about.

744
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:41,080
So personally, it's just, I know I'll do it.

745
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:43,080
I've done it before.

746
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:48,080
We won't pick the game because it is in Jack's Pack, Packers at Lions.

747
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:51,080
However, it is a game with a lot of implications.

748
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:56,080
For instance, Jordan Love looked like a damn good quarterback last week.

749
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:59,080
Also, Jordan Love was playing the Chargers.

750
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:01,080
Seriously, I don't get it, the Chargers.

751
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:04,080
Like, why is Brandon Saley still employed?

752
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:05,080
I actually found out.

753
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:06,080
I should have known this already.

754
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:11,080
His first head coach position in his life, who are the Chargers?

755
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:14,080
He was like the Division III coordinator.

756
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:19,080
He was a defensive coordinator, obviously, for a year with the Rams.

757
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:22,080
Of course, Prime Aaron Donald and the Prime Jalen Rams.

758
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:27,080
They look good, but he was like a position coach.

759
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:29,080
He was a coordinator.

760
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:30,080
He was a coordinator.

761
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:33,080
And then his first head coach job was with the Chargers.

762
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:34,080
He's a very young man.

763
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:36,080
It's not like he's a 50-something year old man.

764
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:38,080
It's like, oh, his first head coach job.

765
00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:40,080
I don't think Brandon Saley is 40 yet.

766
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:42,080
Like, Brandon is in his mid-30s.

767
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:46,080
His first head coach job was the Chargers.

768
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:48,080
Interesting.

769
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:50,080
Very Charger-like move.

770
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:53,080
But regardless, Love looked good against Chargers.

771
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:58,080
So now people are trying to swing back onto the Jordan Love train.

772
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:03,080
For the Detroit Lions, if you played in a franchise that wasn't actively trying to get a top pick,

773
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:05,080
you probably lose last week.

774
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:10,080
I think the Bears looked up and said, I don't know, I think Justin Fields looked up and said,

775
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:12,080
oh, wait, we're going to lose our top five pick.

776
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:13,080
Let me tank, let me tank, let me tank.

777
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:17,080
Because they said the Panthers picked, which is probably going to be number one.

778
00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:21,080
I think Justin Fields perfectly let Hutch strip sack him for the game.

779
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:24,080
No, I don't think that will happen at all.

780
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:30,080
Do I think that sometimes in those situations, people look up and go, it's better if we lose this game?

781
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:31,080
Absolutely.

782
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:36,080
And I kind of think Chicago looked up and said, it's probably best if we lose this game.

783
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:39,080
We've shown we want to show that we can be confident.

784
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:42,080
It's probably best if we lose this game.

785
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:46,080
But in all seriousness, Detroit came back and said, that's not very good.

786
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:47,080
That's not very good.

787
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:50,080
That's Chicago Bears.

788
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:57,080
And so with that being said, the Packers are not all that great, but they have the culture for one,

789
00:38:57,080 --> 00:39:03,080
have the culture for one, for two, Joy Love is trying to keep his starting job.

790
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:09,080
Because if the Packers get in the right mix, they've got some guys that after Caleb Williams,

791
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:11,080
who knows how this draft is going to go?

792
00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:13,080
Bo Nicks is going to be out there.

793
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:15,080
Jay Davis is going to be out there.

794
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:17,080
Drake May is going to be out there.

795
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:19,080
Michael Penny Jr. is going to be out there.

796
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:22,080
We don't know what other guys are going to fly up all of a sudden.

797
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:23,080
You know, that happens every year.

798
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:27,080
Oh, Jordan Travis, Lord Hill, he's going to be out there.

799
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:29,080
I'm sure he's going to be a day two pick now with the injury.

800
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:30,080
He's talking about day two pick anyway.

801
00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:35,080
Maybe he's going to be early day three now, dude, he's injured.

802
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:37,080
You know, I'm trying to think of some other guys right now.

803
00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:39,080
But those are the main guys I can think of off the top of my head.

804
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:43,080
Like, you know, like I said, you know, guys fly up every year in the pre-draft process.

805
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:47,080
So Jordan Love is trying to keep from being a one and done starter in Green Bay.

806
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:49,080
It'll be a very interesting game.

807
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:52,080
Pack of the Lions, that's how we kick off Thanksgiving.

808
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:54,080
Jack Harlow is going to be there during halftime.

809
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:57,080
It's going to be a very interesting game.

810
00:39:57,080 --> 00:40:03,080
Followed by Commanders at Cowboys, also on Thanksgiving Day,

811
00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:04,080
other than as a West Coast game.

812
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:09,080
But Commanders at Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day, another interesting game.

813
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:11,080
I just spoke about Airbnb.

814
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:16,080
Airbnb probably took the Commander job.

815
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:21,080
And I'm not going to venture into saying I have any information about this.

816
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:25,080
I'm not going to say I have any people telling me this or any sources about it in the slightest.

817
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:27,080
I'm not even going to say that.

818
00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:31,080
I'm going to preface everything I say right now by starting off with I have none of that.

819
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:32,080
None of it.

820
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:33,080
I don't have any information.

821
00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:35,080
I've spoken to Eric, obviously.

822
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:37,080
I don't know anybody that close them.

823
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:42,080
I'm saying this from what, if I was in his position, what I would have done.

824
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:45,080
Everybody knew Ron Rivera was on the hot seat.

825
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:51,080
Dan Snyder was the owner, but everybody knew Dan Snyder was selling.

826
00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:55,080
Or it was smoke was starting to come around if I keep myself.

827
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:57,080
But nobody really believed it.

828
00:40:57,080 --> 00:41:05,080
If Ron Rivera is on the hot seat, the issue has been the offense so bad it's not helping the defense.

829
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:07,080
That's been the story.

830
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:09,080
I've seen Pittsburgh this year.

831
00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:11,080
I've seen New Orleans this year.

832
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:15,080
I've seen New England this year.

833
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:16,080
New York.

834
00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:18,080
Both New Yorks.

835
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:23,080
The offense is so bad that the defense basically at a certain point just taps out.

836
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:27,080
That kind of was an error.

837
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:34,080
The enemy takes the offensive coordinator job from Washington.

838
00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:36,080
He was in Kansas City for years.

839
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:38,080
He won two Super Bowls.

840
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:40,080
He was not given any credit for it.

841
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:42,080
They said the offense was Andy Reid.

842
00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:48,080
Now, granted, multiple people have been under Andy Reid as the OC.

843
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:52,080
Even though Andy Reid is the play caller, they've gotten head coach jobs.

844
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:53,080
Multiple.

845
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:55,080
The guy was in Chicago for a while.

846
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:58,080
He was there, it's like two or three guys, quickly.

847
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:00,080
I can't think of the names right now.

848
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:02,080
They've gotten jobs in the past eight or nine years.

849
00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:04,080
He's been the player of Andy Reid.

850
00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:09,080
Even though he does not call, even though they do not call the plays, Andy Reid calls the plays.

851
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:11,080
They got head coach jobs.

852
00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:13,080
None of them were very successful.

853
00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:16,080
But it's very odd that they started off with the enemy.

854
00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:20,080
The enemy doesn't necessarily look like the other player.

855
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:25,080
However, they say the enemy was the offense was Andy Reid and Andy Reid, Andy Reid.

856
00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:27,080
So he leaves and goes to Washington.

857
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:29,080
It was a thorough seed job.

858
00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:34,080
The offense was rolling early in the season and the defense is bad.

859
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:39,080
So every enemy's head has to be thinking this is working out kind of perfectly.

860
00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:42,080
My offense looks great and yet we're still losing.

861
00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:48,080
Now there's smoke around Rivera and people are kind of saying promote every enemy to head coach.

862
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:50,080
I get a head coach job.

863
00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:52,080
I get owned with a lot of money.

864
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:56,080
I get a fan base looking for a change and I get my own team perfectly.

865
00:42:56,080 --> 00:43:01,080
Then the offense knows that points wise they still produce a bunch of yards.

866
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:03,080
They're just turning over here.

867
00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:05,080
They're just not scoring the ball.

868
00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:09,080
Now the smoke is going around the whole staff getting canned.

869
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:14,080
New ownership for instance, Josh Harris is now the owner who owns the Sixers.

870
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:16,080
He owns the Washington Commanders.

871
00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:18,080
And Magic Johnson's involved.

872
00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:20,080
Magic Johnson wins.

873
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:21,080
Period.

874
00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:24,080
Magic Johnson wins.

875
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:27,080
In life but in sports.

876
00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:31,080
He won five as the player of the Lakers.

877
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:34,080
He has probably another six or seven as an owner.

878
00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:36,080
He's got a Dodgers one.

879
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:38,080
He's got a Sparks one.

880
00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:42,080
He's involved in a few other teams that have won titles.

881
00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:46,080
Magic Johnson wins.

882
00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:48,080
Period.

883
00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:52,080
Wins in business, in life, in sports.

884
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:55,080
Magic Johnson wins.

885
00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:57,080
It's as simple as that.

886
00:43:57,080 --> 00:44:02,080
He's on Twitter saying his commanders need to make a change.

887
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:09,080
So now Airbnb's golden plan of if this is going to work in Washington may not work namely as well.

888
00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:18,080
He has a chance, and I'm looking back around to the game, he has a chance against the Cowboys on national TV to prove his case.

889
00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:22,080
Sam Howell leads the league in pass or yards. He's top seven.

890
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:26,080
He's a prolific pass or yardage wise.

891
00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:30,080
Touchdown in such a way he's about two to one.

892
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:37,080
They go out there and put 30 points on the Cowboys and lose the game 4 to 30 because the Commanders can't stop a nosebleed.

893
00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:39,080
Can you blame Airbnb?

894
00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:40,080
Nope.

895
00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:51,080
This would be a great showcase for Airbnb to go out there to showcase what he can do with an offense because even if Ronan Raviera gets cannon B enemies out the door,

896
00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:54,080
Killamore went from the Cowboys to the Chargers.

897
00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:58,080
Why can't B enemy go from the Commanders to the Giants?

898
00:44:58,080 --> 00:45:03,080
Or the Commanders to the Jets if they decide to move on from the thing I had to do.

899
00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:10,080
Or his plan works anyway and he promotes up to the head man in Washington.

900
00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:13,080
Who knows?

901
00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:17,080
Now if you're the Cowboys, you have a chance here to crush somebody in your division.

902
00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:21,080
You're not getting a lot of love from national media.

903
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:25,080
You're not going to get any love from me because the two teams you play with winning records you've lost.

904
00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:26,080
Both of them.

905
00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:28,080
The other game is you've dominated.

906
00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:31,080
You beat who you're supposed to beat. You lost who you could have beat.

907
00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:34,080
You're not getting any love from me for beating up on the Commanders.

908
00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:35,080
Congratulations.

909
00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:37,080
But this is your opportunity to do so again on national television.

910
00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:40,080
You beat the Panthers off Broadway.

911
00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:46,080
You know, you get a chance this week to showcase what you can do on a national television.

912
00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:48,080
You beat the Giants off Broadway. No one cared.

913
00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:54,080
You get a chance to beat the Commanders, national TV, the whole country's watching that game.

914
00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:57,080
Show up at show-offs opportunity in front of the Cowboys.

915
00:45:57,080 --> 00:46:01,080
It's also a great chance for Airbnb to audition for a job.

916
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:06,080
Niners at Seahawks.

917
00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:08,080
This is a game I can pick right now.

918
00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:10,080
I'm going to shock the world here.

919
00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:11,080
I'm going to go Seahawks.

920
00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:15,080
I'm going to go Seahawks very, very closely.

921
00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:19,080
Kyle Shanahan dominates Shawn Lee Vane.

922
00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:22,080
Okay. He owns for the most part.

923
00:46:22,080 --> 00:46:26,080
Anybody that worked with him on that famed staff in Washington,

924
00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:29,080
that somehow Jay Gould and the Bing in charge of, he owns them.

925
00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:31,080
He's the owner of the Kingsbury.

926
00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:34,080
He's had his issues with Pete Carroll.

927
00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:36,080
Pete Carroll has bothered them.

928
00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:40,080
It's at Seattle. It's loud. It's boisterous. Seattle's good.

929
00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:42,080
They're rolling now.

930
00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:44,080
J. Lois Smith has an arm-elbow situation.

931
00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:47,080
That could be a problem, especially against that defense.

932
00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:50,080
Plus, Seattle's defense is pretty solid against the run.

933
00:46:50,080 --> 00:46:52,080
They also can get out to the passer.

934
00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:55,080
We've seen Bob Purdy can be knocked off his spot.

935
00:46:55,080 --> 00:47:00,080
This is a game, again, this is an attention game.

936
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:04,080
It's one of those games where the whole country's going to be watching

937
00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:11,080
because for the most part, people want to find out if Purdy's real or not.

938
00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:13,080
It's a Thursday night game.

939
00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:16,080
It's literal Thanksgiving Day.

940
00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:18,080
It's the nightcaps. The nightcap of our summer.

941
00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:20,080
This is the nightcap of our summer. News of West Coast games.

942
00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:22,080
This is the nightcap I was talking about.

943
00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:24,080
The whole country's going to be watching.

944
00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:27,080
They would have eaten turkey.

945
00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:33,080
They would have eaten all their food and stuff.

946
00:47:33,080 --> 00:47:34,080
They would be eating their turkey.

947
00:47:34,080 --> 00:47:36,080
They'd watch the Cowboys play.

948
00:47:36,080 --> 00:47:40,080
And now they get a chance to watch the Niners and Brock Purdy.

949
00:47:40,080 --> 00:47:42,080
It's never been too bright of a lights.

950
00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:47,080
I just think that in this situation, the Seahawks are set up to win this game

951
00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:49,080
with teensy bit more.

952
00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:50,080
Just a little bit.

953
00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:54,080
Now, the Niners have all their All-Pros back and Brock Purdy magically looks like

954
00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:56,080
he's an NFL quarterback.

955
00:47:56,080 --> 00:48:00,080
He looked awful without two of the seven.

956
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:02,080
But now he gets to look at All-Pros back.

957
00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:06,080
Unfortunately, the Hufanga is out with the 20-CO.

958
00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:08,080
That's an all-pro safety he had.

959
00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:11,080
So his defense is a little hit on the back end.

960
00:48:11,080 --> 00:48:13,080
Maybe he'll have to do a little bit more in this game.

961
00:48:13,080 --> 00:48:14,080
But again, Geno has the hurt elbow.

962
00:48:14,080 --> 00:48:16,080
So we're going to see how this game goes.

963
00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:21,080
I got to see how it's going to game incredibly closely though.

964
00:48:21,080 --> 00:48:25,080
Jacksonville goes at the Texans.

965
00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:26,080
I'm going to pick this one as well.

966
00:48:26,080 --> 00:48:27,080
I've got the Jags here.

967
00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:29,080
I wouldn't be shocked if it's a Texans victory.

968
00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:34,080
It's on the road, 10 division, CJ Stroud illegally combats the RCB game.

969
00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:40,080
CJ Stroud has the legitimate chance at MVP as a rookie.

970
00:48:40,080 --> 00:48:45,080
I think if the Texans end up 10-7, 11-6,

971
00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:49,080
and he leads the league in yards per game through 17 games,

972
00:48:49,080 --> 00:48:50,080
he leads the league in yards.

973
00:48:50,080 --> 00:48:52,080
He's not yet in the start yet.

974
00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:54,080
He leads the league in yards.

975
00:48:54,080 --> 00:48:57,080
His TD to IND ratio stays above 2 to 1.

976
00:48:57,080 --> 00:49:00,080
He's high in the rating, and they're 11-6.

977
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:04,080
CJ Stroud could be the first rookie to ever win MVP.

978
00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:07,080
And I propose to you, who else would win it?

979
00:49:07,080 --> 00:49:10,080
Just Jalen Hurts is in the now.

980
00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:15,080
His TD ratio is 14 touchdowns to 9 interceptions thrown.

981
00:49:15,080 --> 00:49:19,080
You have EJ Brown, and he had eight yards last night.

982
00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:21,080
Patrick Holmes is in it.

983
00:49:21,080 --> 00:49:24,080
He has one of the worst years of his career so far.

984
00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:27,080
Justin Herbert seems not above 500.

985
00:49:27,080 --> 00:49:32,080
Lamar went three weeks without scoring, it felt like.

986
00:49:32,080 --> 00:49:37,080
Dak, CJ Stroud, it's sitting there.

987
00:49:37,080 --> 00:49:42,080
It takes unusual years for unusualness to happen.

988
00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:45,080
We talked about the Heisman race last week.

989
00:49:45,080 --> 00:49:48,080
It took unusual for Tebow and RG3 and Lamar

990
00:49:48,080 --> 00:49:50,080
to win those Heisman with three or four losses.

991
00:49:50,080 --> 00:49:52,080
Nobody else in the country was that dominant.

992
00:49:52,080 --> 00:49:55,080
It wasn't like there was an 1800 yard back on 12th of November.

993
00:49:55,080 --> 00:49:58,080
Like that's obvious you're the Heisman, right?

994
00:49:58,080 --> 00:50:02,080
This is another one of those weird years in the Heisman race.

995
00:50:02,080 --> 00:50:04,080
It's just a weird year in the MVP race.

996
00:50:04,080 --> 00:50:05,080
There's nobody jumping out.

997
00:50:05,080 --> 00:50:08,080
If I ask 10 people who's your MVP right now,

998
00:50:08,080 --> 00:50:12,080
probably if you're a fan of Baltimore,

999
00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:14,080
you might not get very many of the same answers.

1000
00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:17,080
Because there's so many people who could even have it.

1001
00:50:17,080 --> 00:50:19,080
You get a lot of uh, I don't know's.

1002
00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:20,080
You'll get a couple of Mars.

1003
00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:22,080
I'm sure there'll be a couple of Herbits.

1004
00:50:22,080 --> 00:50:25,080
But it's CJ Stroud, not a couple of Herb, a couple of Holmes.

1005
00:50:25,080 --> 00:50:28,080
But CJ Herb is going to be getting some of that.

1006
00:50:28,080 --> 00:50:30,080
CJ Stroud is sitting there.

1007
00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:32,080
He has a chance to lead the league in passing,

1008
00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:36,080
be north of 95 passing rating, north of 2 to 1 in assessor ratio,

1009
00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:39,080
with a 10, 7, 11, and 6 ballglob.

1010
00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:42,080
If that's the case, he has to be the MVP.

1011
00:50:42,080 --> 00:50:44,080
Because in any other year,

1012
00:50:44,080 --> 00:50:46,080
that's why he does that in a down year for everybody else,

1013
00:50:46,080 --> 00:50:48,080
that's the MVP.

1014
00:50:48,080 --> 00:50:50,080
I don't think he gives him a chance because he's a rookie.

1015
00:50:50,080 --> 00:50:53,080
And I think that'd be incredibly dangerous.

1016
00:50:53,080 --> 00:50:55,080
I think in the voters' mind, precedent?

1017
00:50:55,080 --> 00:50:56,080
But no one else is going to do that.

1018
00:50:56,080 --> 00:50:58,080
He's a special kid in a special situation.

1019
00:50:58,080 --> 00:51:01,080
I think he may lose his OC very quickly.

1020
00:51:01,080 --> 00:51:04,080
But he's a special kid in a special situation.

1021
00:51:04,080 --> 00:51:07,080
He has a chance to be the MVP.

1022
00:51:07,080 --> 00:51:09,080
Remember, in the NBA,

1023
00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:14,080
the MVP wasn't a young, young player until Derrick Rose did it,

1024
00:51:14,080 --> 00:51:17,080
which brought on the Rose rule and changed how contracts were set up.

1025
00:51:17,080 --> 00:51:20,080
Candice Parker wins the MVP as a WNBA rookie.

1026
00:51:20,080 --> 00:51:24,080
There's precedent in sports for young, young people to win the MVP.

1027
00:51:24,080 --> 00:51:29,080
Usually NFL is year 3, 4, or 5, you start to win it.

1028
00:51:29,080 --> 00:51:32,080
He's going for it in year 1, which if he does,

1029
00:51:32,080 --> 00:51:34,080
it may alter the way the contracts are set up from now on.

1030
00:51:34,080 --> 00:51:37,080
I mean, how kind of escalators and stuff, who knows?

1031
00:51:37,080 --> 00:51:41,080
But it's just the Rose rule to kind of proactively,

1032
00:51:41,080 --> 00:51:44,080
retroactively affect Derrick Rose's contract.

1033
00:51:44,080 --> 00:51:48,080
Maybe they put the Stroud rule in in the NFL

1034
00:51:48,080 --> 00:51:50,080
and change how his negotiations can be done.

1035
00:51:50,080 --> 00:51:52,080
Who knows?

1036
00:51:52,080 --> 00:51:56,080
But it is insane that he's very close to being an MVP candidate.

1037
00:51:56,080 --> 00:51:58,080
Of course, you got the Prince that was promised

1038
00:51:58,080 --> 00:52:00,080
on the Jaguars side, who honestly many people thought

1039
00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:02,080
would have a CJ Sprouse having right now.

1040
00:52:02,080 --> 00:52:04,080
He came out and admired.

1041
00:52:04,080 --> 00:52:07,080
Danny Bates got a second rookie year with Doug Peterson.

1042
00:52:07,080 --> 00:52:09,080
Now he feels like he's finally in his second year in the league.

1043
00:52:09,080 --> 00:52:11,080
He's heating up these past few games,

1044
00:52:11,080 --> 00:52:15,080
and the Jaguars I think have won 16 of their last 20 football games.

1045
00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:19,080
So you've got a team on one side, the Jaguars is heating up,

1046
00:52:19,080 --> 00:52:21,080
the quarterback Trevlon is heating up,

1047
00:52:21,080 --> 00:52:24,080
and you've got a rookie on the other side that's far outperforming

1048
00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:26,080
anything anybody thought he could do.

1049
00:52:26,080 --> 00:52:28,080
I loved him coming out of the draft.

1050
00:52:28,080 --> 00:52:30,080
I wouldn't have saw this. I didn't see this.

1051
00:52:30,080 --> 00:52:34,080
So I've got the Jaguars winning by a field goal,

1052
00:52:34,080 --> 00:52:37,080
but it would not shock me at all if the Texans pull it out.

1053
00:52:39,080 --> 00:52:42,080
Bills at Eagles, the last game we'll talk about this segment.

1054
00:52:42,080 --> 00:52:44,080
Bills at Eagles.

1055
00:52:44,080 --> 00:52:47,080
The Buffalo Bills are struggling.

1056
00:52:47,080 --> 00:52:49,080
I'm not even going to capitalize on you.

1057
00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:51,080
You played the Jets.

1058
00:52:51,080 --> 00:52:53,080
You played a combination of Zach Wilson and Tim Boyle.

1059
00:52:53,080 --> 00:52:54,080
Congratulations, you beat them.

1060
00:52:54,080 --> 00:52:56,080
And it was at home.

1061
00:52:56,080 --> 00:52:58,080
And Joe Brady's first game was a coordinator.

1062
00:52:58,080 --> 00:53:01,080
There were so many things on your side, if you're a Buffalo Bills,

1063
00:53:01,080 --> 00:53:04,080
that we're not going to get credit for beating the Jets.

1064
00:53:04,080 --> 00:53:06,080
Which it's not. It's just not going to get it.

1065
00:53:06,080 --> 00:53:08,080
Not for me at least.

1066
00:53:08,080 --> 00:53:13,080
And so the Bills this week, now they come out and they play the Eagles.

1067
00:53:13,080 --> 00:53:15,080
The Eagles come out for a hard, far game.

1068
00:53:15,080 --> 00:53:17,080
They're going to come out for an emotional game.

1069
00:53:17,080 --> 00:53:20,080
They're going to come out for a game where they went into Kansas City

1070
00:53:20,080 --> 00:53:23,080
against a team that beat them in the football.

1071
00:53:23,080 --> 00:53:27,080
Against the reason they probably have Travis Kelsey back this season.

1072
00:53:27,080 --> 00:53:29,080
Not Travis Kelsey, Jason Kelsey back this season.

1073
00:53:29,080 --> 00:53:31,080
Because Jason wins two goals.

1074
00:53:31,080 --> 00:53:33,080
What does he have to play for?

1075
00:53:33,080 --> 00:53:35,080
He went into that game on the first battle of Hall of Famer.

1076
00:53:35,080 --> 00:53:36,080
He went in with the Art Pros.

1077
00:53:36,080 --> 00:53:37,080
He went in with the money.

1078
00:53:37,080 --> 00:53:39,080
He walks out with the ring.

1079
00:53:39,080 --> 00:53:41,080
What does Jason Kelsey have to play for?

1080
00:53:41,080 --> 00:53:47,080
But you've got a defense that's starting to wake up for the Eagles.

1081
00:53:47,080 --> 00:53:50,080
You've got a quarterback who's injured, but he's still playing pretty well.

1082
00:53:50,080 --> 00:53:52,080
Running game is doing fine.

1083
00:53:52,080 --> 00:53:55,080
You go into that game against Kansas City and you pull it out.

1084
00:53:55,080 --> 00:53:58,080
Not by your doing, but you pull it out.

1085
00:53:58,080 --> 00:54:06,080
Is there an emotional drop coming home against the Bills who is not seen on Kansas City's level?

1086
00:54:06,080 --> 00:54:08,080
Who's been faltering the past month or so?

1087
00:54:08,080 --> 00:54:11,080
Jets game notwithstanding.

1088
00:54:11,080 --> 00:54:14,080
Faltering the past month or so.

1089
00:54:14,080 --> 00:54:16,080
Is there an emotional drop there?

1090
00:54:16,080 --> 00:54:20,080
I think the Eagles just about a four ball turn than the Bills.

1091
00:54:20,080 --> 00:54:23,080
I think they pull it out again on a three point game.

1092
00:54:23,080 --> 00:54:25,080
Will be low on scoring though 24-21.

1093
00:54:25,080 --> 00:54:28,080
As well I think Texans and Jags may go both north of 30.

1094
00:54:28,080 --> 00:54:30,080
Eagles and Bills 24-21.

1095
00:54:30,080 --> 00:54:32,080
Eagles.

1096
00:54:32,080 --> 00:54:33,080
What up next?

1097
00:54:33,080 --> 00:54:35,080
We're going to shift to our NFL betting segment.

1098
00:54:35,080 --> 00:54:57,080
The Jets back.

1099
00:54:57,080 --> 00:55:02,080
Welcome back into the show.

1100
00:55:02,080 --> 00:55:06,080
And now we're going to discuss our NFL betting segment, Jags pack.

1101
00:55:06,080 --> 00:55:11,080
Admittedly I've not been good with keeping updated you guys on our records.

1102
00:55:11,080 --> 00:55:13,080
So last week we went two and three.

1103
00:55:13,080 --> 00:55:17,080
Not really close on any real beats.

1104
00:55:17,080 --> 00:55:20,080
I can't be like oh I was on the right side of this one.

1105
00:55:20,080 --> 00:55:21,080
Just missed it.

1106
00:55:21,080 --> 00:55:23,080
Honestly I had charges Packers.

1107
00:55:23,080 --> 00:55:25,080
I had that one.

1108
00:55:25,080 --> 00:55:28,080
Embarrassing lines as well I had that one.

1109
00:55:28,080 --> 00:55:30,080
I had no chance on Bills and Jets.

1110
00:55:30,080 --> 00:55:32,080
So I was close on a couple of them.

1111
00:55:32,080 --> 00:55:34,080
Was on the right thinking, right path.

1112
00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:35,080
Didn't work out for me.

1113
00:55:35,080 --> 00:55:37,080
But anyway we're going to get on the right track.

1114
00:55:37,080 --> 00:55:39,080
We're going to get a winning week out of this week.

1115
00:55:39,080 --> 00:55:41,080
I feel like the numbers this week.

1116
00:55:41,080 --> 00:55:42,080
We're going to get it started.

1117
00:55:42,080 --> 00:55:45,080
Let's jump right into it.

1118
00:55:45,080 --> 00:55:46,080
Packers at Lions.

1119
00:55:46,080 --> 00:55:49,080
Lions minus seven and a half.

1120
00:55:49,080 --> 00:55:52,080
Take the Lions here.

1121
00:55:52,080 --> 00:55:54,080
I think the Lions are going to win this game by ten.

1122
00:55:54,080 --> 00:55:57,080
If the Lions were eight and a half I probably would have backed off of it and went Packers.

1123
00:55:57,080 --> 00:55:59,080
Or just backed off of it entirely.

1124
00:55:59,080 --> 00:56:01,080
I think this game is going to be 30 to 20 Lions.

1125
00:56:01,080 --> 00:56:03,080
It's in Detroit.

1126
00:56:03,080 --> 00:56:07,080
Detroit's selling out forward field for the first time this season.

1127
00:56:07,080 --> 00:56:09,080
For the first time since they moved to forward field.

1128
00:56:09,080 --> 00:56:11,080
They are selling and building out.

1129
00:56:11,080 --> 00:56:13,080
The city is excited about the Lions.

1130
00:56:13,080 --> 00:56:20,080
They're excited about the very high likelihood they win the division and host the first round of playoffs.

1131
00:56:20,080 --> 00:56:23,080
Maybe host the first couple of rounds in the playoffs.

1132
00:56:23,080 --> 00:56:26,080
They're incredibly excited about that in Detroit.

1133
00:56:26,080 --> 00:56:27,080
Their team is tough.

1134
00:56:27,080 --> 00:56:29,080
It embodies the Detroit mindset.

1135
00:56:29,080 --> 00:56:33,080
I just think the Packers stole a win last week.

1136
00:56:33,080 --> 00:56:35,080
They were not supposed to get versus the Chargers.

1137
00:56:35,080 --> 00:56:38,080
It took drops in that game as well.

1138
00:56:38,080 --> 00:56:40,080
Ken Nailah had a job right in front of the end zone.

1139
00:56:40,080 --> 00:56:42,080
Quinn Johnson had a job with the sideline for the Chargers.

1140
00:56:42,080 --> 00:56:47,080
We're having a very different conversation right now about the Chargers and the Packers.

1141
00:56:47,080 --> 00:56:49,080
But I think Detroit does make those mistakes.

1142
00:56:49,080 --> 00:56:50,080
The kids come out.

1143
00:56:50,080 --> 00:56:52,080
They had a down week last week.

1144
00:56:52,080 --> 00:56:53,080
A down couple of weeks.

1145
00:56:53,080 --> 00:56:59,080
They come out and get a corrective versus an end division opponent who in the Aaron Rodgers era absolutely dominated them.

1146
00:56:59,080 --> 00:57:04,080
The Lions win 30 to 20 so they cover the 7 and a half.

1147
00:57:04,080 --> 00:57:07,080
We watched the football team at the Dallas Cowboys.

1148
00:57:07,080 --> 00:57:10,080
Cowboys minus 10 and a half take the Cowboys.

1149
00:57:10,080 --> 00:57:11,080
I know.

1150
00:57:11,080 --> 00:57:13,080
I know I gave a whole speech right there.

1151
00:57:13,080 --> 00:57:14,080
I did.

1152
00:57:14,080 --> 00:57:16,080
His defense is awful.

1153
00:57:16,080 --> 00:57:20,080
10 and a half means the Cowboys can win 40 to 20.

1154
00:57:20,080 --> 00:57:24,080
BNME still puts on a show and Dallas still is covered 10 and a half.

1155
00:57:24,080 --> 00:57:25,080
Which I think might be the score.

1156
00:57:25,080 --> 00:57:29,080
I think the score might end up being something around 45-28, 45-31.

1157
00:57:29,080 --> 00:57:32,080
I think BNME can scheme against his defense.

1158
00:57:32,080 --> 00:57:36,080
They've been sleepwalking the past few weeks.

1159
00:57:36,080 --> 00:57:40,080
Defensively they've just been trying to blow left and right.

1160
00:57:40,080 --> 00:57:41,080
Turning Brightstone over.

1161
00:57:41,080 --> 00:57:42,080
Turning Tommy DeVito over.

1162
00:57:42,080 --> 00:57:44,080
Sam Hall will give them to you.

1163
00:57:44,080 --> 00:57:46,080
But not nearly at the rate of those two.

1164
00:57:46,080 --> 00:57:49,080
BNME is a better OC than the OCs that got nose buildings.

1165
00:57:49,080 --> 00:57:52,080
I think he's a better football coach in general than Frank Wright.

1166
00:57:52,080 --> 00:57:55,080
I think OC for OC, Brian Dable may be a little bit better.

1167
00:57:55,080 --> 00:58:00,080
But Brian Dable is the HC struggling up there in New York.

1168
00:58:00,080 --> 00:58:02,080
Especially with Tommy DeVito.

1169
00:58:02,080 --> 00:58:06,080
I think BNME has been able to squeeze everything he can squeeze out of Sam Hall.

1170
00:58:06,080 --> 00:58:08,080
I think this will be a high scoring game.

1171
00:58:08,080 --> 00:58:10,080
I think Dallas pulls away at the end.

1172
00:58:10,080 --> 00:58:13,080
Remember that Panthers game I think was 17-10 going to the fourth quarter.

1173
00:58:13,080 --> 00:58:15,080
They pulled away at the end.

1174
00:58:15,080 --> 00:58:20,080
I think that ABNME and Sam Hall puts up more offense.

1175
00:58:20,080 --> 00:58:26,080
Terry McWarn and McCrew puts up more offense obviously than Bryce Young and whatever the hell that is in Carolina.

1176
00:58:26,080 --> 00:58:29,080
But they still get outgunned in this shootout.

1177
00:58:29,080 --> 00:58:34,080
Cowboys win 45-28 but they cover the 10 and a half.

1178
00:58:34,080 --> 00:58:35,080
Dolphins.

1179
00:58:35,080 --> 00:58:38,080
Minus 10 at the Jets take the Dolphins.

1180
00:58:38,080 --> 00:58:41,080
This was one of those games I almost didn't care what the spread was.

1181
00:58:41,080 --> 00:58:44,080
I don't think the Jets scored more than 13 points.

1182
00:58:44,080 --> 00:58:48,080
Which means in order for the Dolphins to cover this they have to score 24 points.

1183
00:58:48,080 --> 00:58:50,080
I feel confident in that.

1184
00:58:50,080 --> 00:58:52,080
Now it's in New York.

1185
00:58:52,080 --> 00:58:54,080
It's in each weather for New Jersey.

1186
00:58:54,080 --> 00:58:56,080
It's going to be a little chilly.

1187
00:58:56,080 --> 00:59:01,080
But this is the kind of game where Tyreek busts along.

1188
00:59:01,080 --> 00:59:06,080
And then they get one of those long standing drives and they sneak in hands on them 14-30.

1189
00:59:06,080 --> 00:59:10,080
And then the Jets do a fast turnover and then they hit them again 21-30.

1190
00:59:10,080 --> 00:59:12,080
And then it's quiet for most of the game.

1191
00:59:12,080 --> 00:59:14,080
And then Watto hits a big long touchdown.

1192
00:59:14,080 --> 00:59:15,080
It's 28-3.

1193
00:59:15,080 --> 00:59:18,080
Dolphins win 31-3.

1194
00:59:18,080 --> 00:59:23,080
And it's just one of those games where the Jets just don't have an offense.

1195
00:59:23,080 --> 00:59:28,080
So it almost doesn't matter what the point spread is because if you believe they had an all in the other offense.

1196
00:59:28,080 --> 00:59:30,080
You got to go with that outside of the point spread.

1197
00:59:30,080 --> 00:59:33,080
And so I've got the Dolphins winning 31-3.

1198
00:59:33,080 --> 00:59:36,080
Covering the 10 points.

1199
00:59:36,080 --> 00:59:38,080
Chiefs at Raiders.

1200
00:59:38,080 --> 00:59:40,080
Raiders plus 9 take the Raiders.

1201
00:59:40,080 --> 00:59:43,080
Now I think the Chiefs are going to win the game.

1202
00:59:43,080 --> 00:59:46,080
But something about that Antonio Pierce and Raiders team.

1203
00:59:46,080 --> 00:59:47,080
They believe in them.

1204
00:59:47,080 --> 00:59:49,080
They believe they're confident in their abilities.

1205
00:59:49,080 --> 00:59:53,080
They're losing games due to talent and not wanting to.

1206
00:59:53,080 --> 00:59:56,080
I think they lost games early in the season because they didn't want to win the game.

1207
00:59:56,080 --> 00:59:58,080
Like there was no extra fire.

1208
00:59:58,080 --> 01:00:00,080
You know what I spoke about a few minutes ago?

1209
01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:02,080
That there's coaches that will run through the wall with you.

1210
01:00:02,080 --> 01:00:08,080
Josh McDan is the kind of guy to sit in the office and tell you half across the world to want to win.

1211
01:00:08,080 --> 01:00:11,080
And everybody feels like, I ain't running through the wall for that guy.

1212
01:00:11,080 --> 01:00:14,080
He's not even going to attempt to look like he wants to come with us.

1213
01:00:14,080 --> 01:00:18,080
That's kind of how it felt in Vegas.

1214
01:00:18,080 --> 01:00:21,080
Now with Antonio Pierce, it feels like Antonio Pierce went through the wall

1215
01:00:21,080 --> 01:00:23,080
and told you to come through the open hole.

1216
01:00:23,080 --> 01:00:24,080
I mean that's the vibe.

1217
01:00:24,080 --> 01:00:27,080
That's the aura that they give off now in Vegas.

1218
01:00:27,080 --> 01:00:29,080
It is led by men there now.

1219
01:00:29,080 --> 01:00:32,080
The players have taken over the franchise per report.

1220
01:00:32,080 --> 01:00:34,080
And ownership's all for it.

1221
01:00:34,080 --> 01:00:36,080
They're organizing stuff.

1222
01:00:36,080 --> 01:00:38,080
They're doing whatever they want to do to make their...

1223
01:00:38,080 --> 01:00:41,080
There's a pride in the organization now.

1224
01:00:41,080 --> 01:00:44,080
Antonio Pierce speaks about how the locker room's all in one piece.

1225
01:00:44,080 --> 01:00:48,080
And he said there's a pride in being a raider now.

1226
01:00:48,080 --> 01:00:51,080
As opposed to how it was, you kind of just lazy fare.

1227
01:00:51,080 --> 01:00:53,080
It is what it is.

1228
01:00:53,080 --> 01:00:54,080
You like it, great.

1229
01:00:54,080 --> 01:00:56,080
It don't. Sucks to be you.

1230
01:00:56,080 --> 01:01:00,080
That kind of attitude of Josh McDaniels.

1231
01:01:00,080 --> 01:01:01,080
Protecting the Patriots.

1232
01:01:01,080 --> 01:01:05,080
There's the report that ran rampant that somebody threw a shot at the Patriots

1233
01:01:05,080 --> 01:01:08,080
and he scolded them, don't ever talk about the Patriots that way.

1234
01:01:08,080 --> 01:01:11,080
Like, dude, you know you work for the Raiders, right?

1235
01:01:11,080 --> 01:01:16,080
And so that is the vibe that was given out.

1236
01:01:16,080 --> 01:01:18,080
The Chiefs have issues offensively.

1237
01:01:18,080 --> 01:01:24,080
Again, based on the last season, if the game's within a touchdown

1238
01:01:24,080 --> 01:01:26,080
and halftime, even the 10 points at halftime,

1239
01:01:26,080 --> 01:01:28,080
the Chiefs aren't going to expand the lead.

1240
01:01:28,080 --> 01:01:30,080
It's what four points a game like to have.

1241
01:01:30,080 --> 01:01:33,080
If they keep that up, they get three points, they get 13.

1242
01:01:33,080 --> 01:01:36,080
I'm assuming the Raiders can get one touchdown and a couple of spreads.

1243
01:01:36,080 --> 01:01:37,080
It's very possible.

1244
01:01:37,080 --> 01:01:39,080
I think it'll be a backdoor cover,

1245
01:01:39,080 --> 01:01:44,080
but the Chiefs win the game all right, Raiders cover.

1246
01:01:44,080 --> 01:01:50,080
And then Ravens at Chargers, Chargers plus three and a half.

1247
01:01:50,080 --> 01:01:55,080
I think that the Chargers win this game all right.

1248
01:01:55,080 --> 01:01:58,080
I think the Chargers have the kind of offense to really pick

1249
01:01:58,080 --> 01:02:01,080
with the Ravens defense, spread job, bombing deep,

1250
01:02:01,080 --> 01:02:03,080
and really kind of pick at the Ravens,

1251
01:02:03,080 --> 01:02:06,080
a lack of overall team speed in the back end.

1252
01:02:06,080 --> 01:02:08,080
The Chargers aren't the fastest team on planet Earth,

1253
01:02:08,080 --> 01:02:11,080
but they've got some speed and everyone's got a cannon of an arm.

1254
01:02:11,080 --> 01:02:14,080
So I think that spread of offense, also the physicality of the Raiders

1255
01:02:14,080 --> 01:02:16,080
with the playoff offense with themselves,

1256
01:02:16,080 --> 01:02:18,080
kind of feels what the Chargers want to do.

1257
01:02:18,080 --> 01:02:20,080
I've noticed lately that the Chargers aren't that good in space.

1258
01:02:20,080 --> 01:02:24,080
I don't know if it's using a scheme thing, not necessarily a talent thing,

1259
01:02:24,080 --> 01:02:26,080
but in the phone booth, they do fine.

1260
01:02:26,080 --> 01:02:28,080
And so if the Raiders, if the Ravens want to come downhill,

1261
01:02:28,080 --> 01:02:31,080
they've been running the ball at an exceptional rate,

1262
01:02:31,080 --> 01:02:33,080
I think this will be the kind of game the Chargers defense

1263
01:02:33,080 --> 01:02:36,080
will really make some noise because they're going to have to come downhill.

1264
01:02:36,080 --> 01:02:38,080
Now, I would say Khalil Mack out of the game,

1265
01:02:38,080 --> 01:02:40,080
but he's one of the better edge rushers against the run.

1266
01:02:40,080 --> 01:02:41,080
He always has been.

1267
01:02:41,080 --> 01:02:44,080
Also, I mean, Khalil Mack, one of the rare edge rushers in the league,

1268
01:02:44,080 --> 01:02:46,080
he was always really good against the run.

1269
01:02:46,080 --> 01:02:48,080
And so I think that if he continues that up,

1270
01:02:48,080 --> 01:02:51,080
got Kenneth Murray, of course, Derwin James is a big hitter,

1271
01:02:51,080 --> 01:02:55,080
so having those guys come down against the run could be very interesting.

1272
01:02:55,080 --> 01:02:57,080
I wonder if Lamar Lades gets involved,

1273
01:02:57,080 --> 01:03:02,080
I think the Chargers win the game outright 27 to 24,

1274
01:03:02,080 --> 01:03:04,080
and they come with a plus three and a half.

1275
01:03:04,080 --> 01:03:07,080
So to run back through it, we've got Packers, we've got Lions,

1276
01:03:07,080 --> 01:03:09,080
minus seven and a half for Packers,

1277
01:03:09,080 --> 01:03:12,080
Cowboys minus seven and a half over Washington,

1278
01:03:12,080 --> 01:03:14,080
Dolphins minus 10 over the Jets,

1279
01:03:14,080 --> 01:03:17,080
Raiders plus nine over the Chiefs,

1280
01:03:17,080 --> 01:03:20,080
Chargers plus three and a half over the Ravens.

1281
01:03:20,080 --> 01:03:23,080
Now up next, we will have a little bit of an NBA talk,

1282
01:03:23,080 --> 01:03:27,080
and then our best relax.

1283
01:03:53,080 --> 01:03:56,080
Welcome back into the show.

1284
01:03:56,080 --> 01:03:59,080
Now we're going to talk about the NBA as the end season,

1285
01:03:59,080 --> 01:04:01,080
I don't know, I think it's tournament night,

1286
01:04:01,080 --> 01:04:02,080
I think it's tournament night.

1287
01:04:02,080 --> 01:04:04,080
I'm going to double check that actually.

1288
01:04:04,080 --> 01:04:06,080
I believe it is tournament night, actually.

1289
01:04:06,080 --> 01:04:08,080
It's Tuesday, it was like tournament night.

1290
01:04:08,080 --> 01:04:11,080
Anyway, as the NBA is kicking off,

1291
01:04:11,080 --> 01:04:13,080
it is end season tournament night.

1292
01:04:13,080 --> 01:04:16,080
As the NBA is kicking off, it is tournament night.

1293
01:04:16,080 --> 01:04:21,600
It's going to be a little bit of a

1294
01:04:21,600 --> 01:04:23,080
one-on-one conversation.

1295
01:04:23,080 --> 01:04:25,080
As the NBA is kicking off, end season tournament night,

1296
01:04:25,080 --> 01:04:27,080
I believe this is the last night or one of the last nights

1297
01:04:27,080 --> 01:04:29,080
of the end season tournament,

1298
01:04:29,080 --> 01:04:32,080
as they go into their night.

1299
01:04:32,080 --> 01:04:35,080
Like I said, the games are literally tipping off right now.

1300
01:04:35,080 --> 01:04:40,080
But so these standings will be entering the tournament,

1301
01:04:40,080 --> 01:04:42,080
obviously entering tonight's action.

1302
01:04:42,080 --> 01:04:46,080
But you have in the East, you have in the water,

1303
01:04:46,080 --> 01:04:51,080
Celtics, 76ers, Bucks, Heat, Magic, Pacers.

1304
01:04:51,080 --> 01:04:54,080
Those will be teams automatically in the playoffs right now.

1305
01:04:54,080 --> 01:04:56,080
And then your playing tournament teams would be Knicks,

1306
01:04:56,080 --> 01:04:59,080
Cavs, Hawks, and Nets.

1307
01:04:59,080 --> 01:05:04,080
Out West, you have Timberwolves, Nuggets, Thunder, Mavericks,

1308
01:05:04,080 --> 01:05:06,080
Kings, Lakers.

1309
01:05:06,080 --> 01:05:09,080
Those are your six teams locked into the playoffs.

1310
01:05:09,080 --> 01:05:10,080
It's the end of the season today.

1311
01:05:10,080 --> 01:05:13,080
And your playing tournament is Suns, Pelicans, Rockets,

1312
01:05:13,080 --> 01:05:15,080
and Warriors.

1313
01:05:15,080 --> 01:05:17,080
Who Warriors who just ended their skib,

1314
01:05:17,080 --> 01:05:19,080
we'll talk about them in a couple of minutes.

1315
01:05:19,080 --> 01:05:21,080
Let's start off with something.

1316
01:05:21,080 --> 01:05:23,080
LeBron's ridiculous.

1317
01:05:23,080 --> 01:05:25,080
I feel like we talked about this last week.

1318
01:05:25,080 --> 01:05:28,080
And if it continues, I'm going to try and talk about it less,

1319
01:05:28,080 --> 01:05:30,080
add some fresh blood into the show.

1320
01:05:30,080 --> 01:05:32,080
I was going to mention Houston,

1321
01:05:32,080 --> 01:05:33,080
but they're coming back down to earth.

1322
01:05:33,080 --> 01:05:36,080
Like I said, they would.

1323
01:05:36,080 --> 01:05:38,080
But LeBron's ridiculous.

1324
01:05:38,080 --> 01:05:40,080
What he's done over the past couple of games,

1325
01:05:40,080 --> 01:05:43,080
35 points till two games ago.

1326
01:05:43,080 --> 01:05:44,080
37 last game.

1327
01:05:44,080 --> 01:05:45,080
We'll see what he does tonight.

1328
01:05:45,080 --> 01:05:47,080
Or 37 and 35, whatever.

1329
01:05:47,080 --> 01:05:49,080
We'll see what he does tonight.

1330
01:05:49,080 --> 01:05:54,080
He's shooting his best percentage from three in like a decade.

1331
01:05:54,080 --> 01:06:00,080
He is making mid-range jump shots at a clip that he's never been a

1332
01:06:00,080 --> 01:06:02,080
proficient mid-range jump shooter.

1333
01:06:02,080 --> 01:06:05,080
I'm one of the biggest LeBron proponents there is.

1334
01:06:05,080 --> 01:06:09,080
He went 37 against the Rockets on 14 of 19.

1335
01:06:09,080 --> 01:06:14,080
And then he went 35 against the Trail Blazers on 13 and 22.

1336
01:06:14,080 --> 01:06:18,080
He went 28 against the Kings on 9 of 15.

1337
01:06:18,080 --> 01:06:21,080
Before that, he had a couple of off-heels.

1338
01:06:21,080 --> 01:06:24,080
He sat against the Blazers, played very few minutes against the

1339
01:06:24,080 --> 01:06:25,080
Grizzlies.

1340
01:06:25,080 --> 01:06:28,080
He went 32 against the Suns on 17 shots.

1341
01:06:28,080 --> 01:06:35,080
I mean, what he's doing right now is 26.4 points a game on 58.6%

1342
01:06:35,080 --> 01:06:43,080
shooting, including 40% from three, 39.7% from a three.

1343
01:06:43,080 --> 01:06:49,080
If you compare the field goal percentage, 58.6 is the highest

1344
01:06:49,080 --> 01:06:51,080
his career.

1345
01:06:51,080 --> 01:06:58,080
The only one that comes in the realm is 56.5 in the 2012 famous

1346
01:06:58,080 --> 01:07:02,080
Heat team, 2012-2013 Heat team.

1347
01:07:02,080 --> 01:07:06,080
And then he's shooting 39.7% from three, which would be the highest

1348
01:07:06,080 --> 01:07:09,080
percentage from three since that same season.

1349
01:07:09,080 --> 01:07:12,080
So also, he's only getting 26.4 points a game.

1350
01:07:12,080 --> 01:07:16,080
He did it that year on 26.8 points a game, with him three minutes less.

1351
01:07:16,080 --> 01:07:22,080
So he's playing as well as he did in his 2012-2013 season.

1352
01:07:22,080 --> 01:07:24,080
That was 11 years ago.

1353
01:07:24,080 --> 01:07:26,080
His rebounds are a hair down.

1354
01:07:26,080 --> 01:07:28,080
He's still exactly the same.

1355
01:07:28,080 --> 01:07:31,080
His assists are a little down, but one of his affixes down.

1356
01:07:31,080 --> 01:07:36,080
LeBron James is playing 37, 38-year-old LeBron James.

1357
01:07:36,080 --> 01:07:40,080
He's playing just as good as 27, 28-year-old LeBron James.

1358
01:07:40,080 --> 01:07:43,080
He was unquestioned the best player in basketball.

1359
01:07:43,080 --> 01:07:47,080
What he's doing right now is absurd.

1360
01:07:47,080 --> 01:07:51,080
Year 21, I think the best average ever is a little over 10, maybe 13 points.

1361
01:07:51,080 --> 01:07:53,080
He's 26.

1362
01:07:53,080 --> 01:07:58,080
He's shooting the best of his career from the field.

1363
01:07:58,080 --> 01:08:08,080
He's making the most threes percentage-wise in his career since his late 20s, in 2012.

1364
01:08:08,080 --> 01:08:11,080
He's doing it so well.

1365
01:08:11,080 --> 01:08:16,080
Even his staunchest haters have got to be like, oh, okay, this is absurd.

1366
01:08:16,080 --> 01:08:19,080
What you're seeing right now is so historic.

1367
01:08:19,080 --> 01:08:21,080
It's not even funny.

1368
01:08:21,080 --> 01:08:23,080
Year 20 is the cliff.

1369
01:08:23,080 --> 01:08:26,080
Remember the famous Brady Cliff?

1370
01:08:26,080 --> 01:08:28,080
It was a year 16 or year 17.

1371
01:08:28,080 --> 01:08:31,080
Max Killerman preached about the cliff.

1372
01:08:31,080 --> 01:08:32,080
Oh, it's a cliff.

1373
01:08:32,080 --> 01:08:33,080
It's a cliff.

1374
01:08:33,080 --> 01:08:36,080
Once you hit this year, the very next year, you're bad.

1375
01:08:36,080 --> 01:08:41,080
Brady did hit the cliff really until his last year in league and he walked.

1376
01:08:41,080 --> 01:08:45,080
His year 45 year.

1377
01:08:45,080 --> 01:08:49,080
LeBron, that year 17, 18, really it's year 20.

1378
01:08:49,080 --> 01:08:50,080
It's a cliff.

1379
01:08:50,080 --> 01:08:53,080
Everybody's bad the next year, 21, 22.

1380
01:08:53,080 --> 01:08:55,080
They're just awful.

1381
01:08:55,080 --> 01:08:56,080
Really it's year 17.

1382
01:08:56,080 --> 01:08:57,080
You just fall off a map.

1383
01:08:57,080 --> 01:08:59,080
If you're still playing, you're just done.

1384
01:08:59,080 --> 01:09:03,080
You're no longer the player you were.

1385
01:09:03,080 --> 01:09:04,080
Now modern medicine is helping.

1386
01:09:04,080 --> 01:09:09,080
You see LeBron's in year 21, Durant's in year 15, 16.

1387
01:09:09,080 --> 01:09:10,080
You look at Steph.

1388
01:09:10,080 --> 01:09:12,080
These guys are rolling.

1389
01:09:12,080 --> 01:09:15,080
But then you got to do it five more years to get to where LeBron is.

1390
01:09:15,080 --> 01:09:17,080
He's out playing Kevin.

1391
01:09:17,080 --> 01:09:19,080
He's out playing Steph.

1392
01:09:19,080 --> 01:09:21,080
He's more efficient than both of them.

1393
01:09:21,080 --> 01:09:22,080
He's not getting the volume of shots.

1394
01:09:22,080 --> 01:09:24,080
Obviously, he's not playing their little minutes.

1395
01:09:24,080 --> 01:09:32,080
But what he's doing right now is so unimaginable that it's funny.

1396
01:09:32,080 --> 01:09:35,080
It's like we've taken it for granted LeBron's going to be LeBron.

1397
01:09:35,080 --> 01:09:39,080
He even said, if we're going to get a 2K, LeBron's going to be a 9-6 overall.

1398
01:09:39,080 --> 01:09:43,080
He's going to dunk on people and make all these shots and crazy passes.

1399
01:09:43,080 --> 01:09:47,080
And it's like, you do realize he's the third or fourth highest rated player in the game.

1400
01:09:47,080 --> 01:09:49,080
He's 38.

1401
01:09:49,080 --> 01:09:52,080
LeBron James is going to finish top five in the NBA Bowl.

1402
01:09:52,080 --> 01:09:58,080
If the MVP was decided today, he's third.

1403
01:09:58,080 --> 01:10:02,080
It's Tatum, Steph, and then who's in front of him?

1404
01:10:02,080 --> 01:10:04,080
You can make a Yokelj argument.

1405
01:10:04,080 --> 01:10:08,080
You can make an Anthony Edwards argument, kind of.

1406
01:10:08,080 --> 01:10:11,080
I'll give you the Yokelj argument.

1407
01:10:11,080 --> 01:10:13,080
Yokelj, it's Tatum, it's Steph.

1408
01:10:13,080 --> 01:10:15,080
And Steph's team is so bad, Steph's out.

1409
01:10:15,080 --> 01:10:17,080
So it's Tatum and it's Yokelj.

1410
01:10:17,080 --> 01:10:19,080
Who else in the NBA would be arguing?

1411
01:10:19,080 --> 01:10:22,080
That's definitively in front of him.

1412
01:10:22,080 --> 01:10:24,080
LeBron's third.

1413
01:10:24,080 --> 01:10:26,080
Right?

1414
01:10:26,080 --> 01:10:29,080
And so you've got a guy who's 13 years old.

1415
01:10:29,080 --> 01:10:33,080
To me, if the MVP ended right now, he's third in the MVP race.

1416
01:10:33,080 --> 01:10:36,080
He's shooting the best of his career.

1417
01:10:36,080 --> 01:10:42,080
He's shooting threes, second or third best ever in his career, but best in a decade.

1418
01:10:42,080 --> 01:10:47,080
He's doing it all not turning the ball over a crazy pace, despite his usage.

1419
01:10:47,080 --> 01:10:49,080
He's doing it despite Anthony Edwards being injured.

1420
01:10:49,080 --> 01:10:51,080
He's doing it despite Austin Reed's experience, I have a request.

1421
01:10:51,080 --> 01:10:54,080
He's doing it despite all these new pieces flying around him.

1422
01:10:54,080 --> 01:10:58,080
He's learning on the fly where everybody wants to operate.

1423
01:10:58,080 --> 01:11:01,080
And he's doing it to tune up the season ending right now.

1424
01:11:01,080 --> 01:11:04,080
They're the sixth seed in the playoffs and they're playing Oklahoma City in the first round.

1425
01:11:04,080 --> 01:11:09,080
Update, I'm giving the Lakers that series in five, maybe six.

1426
01:11:09,080 --> 01:11:12,080
Because of that man in the 23rd.

1427
01:11:12,080 --> 01:11:16,080
What he's doing right now should not be possible and yet we're witnessing it.

1428
01:11:16,080 --> 01:11:17,080
Yet we're watching it.

1429
01:11:17,080 --> 01:11:22,080
Yet we're gonna watch it tonight on TNT and we're gonna think it's normal.

1430
01:11:22,080 --> 01:11:29,080
We're gonna wake up, those of you who go to sleep, we're gonna wake up to a stat line of 28, 8, and 6.

1431
01:11:29,080 --> 01:11:33,080
With one turnover on four or five missed shots all night.

1432
01:11:33,080 --> 01:11:37,080
He's gonna make three threes and we're gonna pretend like it's normal and it's not.

1433
01:11:37,080 --> 01:11:42,080
What we're witnessing right now is something that no one thought was possible in basketball.

1434
01:11:42,080 --> 01:11:43,080
No one.

1435
01:11:43,080 --> 01:11:45,080
And LeBron's gonna make it normal.

1436
01:11:45,080 --> 01:11:49,080
What LeBron is doing is so great, he's making what Steph and KD look normal.

1437
01:11:49,080 --> 01:11:52,080
Because Steph and KD are at ages where you tend to fall off a cliff.

1438
01:11:52,080 --> 01:11:57,080
At Steph and KD's age, Michael Jordan was smoking cigars on a golf course retired for the second time.

1439
01:11:57,080 --> 01:12:05,080
I'm getting like, at Steph and KD's age, Kobe Bryant was tearing his Achilles.

1440
01:12:05,080 --> 01:12:09,080
At Steph and KD's age, Shaq was 400 pounds on such a uniform.

1441
01:12:09,080 --> 01:12:17,080
At Steph and KD's age, Dirk was two, three years removed from that final series in a shell of himself.

1442
01:12:17,080 --> 01:12:20,080
At Steph and KD's age, Dominique Lucas was done.

1443
01:12:20,080 --> 01:12:21,080
Reggie Miller was done.

1444
01:12:21,080 --> 01:12:22,080
Patrick Kane was done.

1445
01:12:22,080 --> 01:12:25,080
Kee Melazzo was in Toronto.

1446
01:12:25,080 --> 01:12:30,080
Charles Barkley was done.

1447
01:12:30,080 --> 01:12:35,080
Michael Jordan again was smoking cigars, hitting golf balls, hitting golf swings.

1448
01:12:35,080 --> 01:12:40,080
But because LeBron is in year 21, doing it where Dirk was, if he made a thing.

1449
01:12:40,080 --> 01:12:43,080
Dirk scored 20 with breaking news on Dallas Sports Radio.

1450
01:12:43,080 --> 01:12:47,080
If Vince Carter dunked the ball, my god, it was on loop for a week.

1451
01:12:47,080 --> 01:12:51,080
And LeBron's one of the five best players on the planet.

1452
01:12:51,080 --> 01:12:57,080
He's making what they're doing, which is amazing, pure normal.

1453
01:12:57,080 --> 01:13:01,080
That's what you're witnessing right now if you're watching the NBA.

1454
01:13:01,080 --> 01:13:03,080
Update, if I was you guys, I would watch it.

1455
01:13:03,080 --> 01:13:07,080
I'd pay attention to it because as much as we love LeBron, I'm one of the bigger LeBron fans.

1456
01:13:07,080 --> 01:13:11,080
And he says he wants to play until Bronny shows up, which he's on the road to recovery.

1457
01:13:11,080 --> 01:13:13,080
Kudos to him.

1458
01:13:13,080 --> 01:13:15,080
Bryce is now transferring back to Sierra Canyon.

1459
01:13:15,080 --> 01:13:17,080
The all-con nonsense happening.

1460
01:13:17,080 --> 01:13:25,080
But Bronny is probably a year or two away from the NBA now in the Beats commercial.

1461
01:13:25,080 --> 01:13:28,080
They're talking about play with your son and then do it again.

1462
01:13:28,080 --> 01:13:32,080
Bryce is a junior in high school, which means he's at minimum, junior, senior, freshman.

1463
01:13:32,080 --> 01:13:35,080
He's at minimum three years away from the NBA.

1464
01:13:35,080 --> 01:13:37,080
Could LeBron play 25 years at a high level?

1465
01:13:37,080 --> 01:13:41,080
No, he does. He pushes all the records so far no one ever catches him ever again.

1466
01:13:41,080 --> 01:13:45,080
So like Brady. Brady's pushed so much stuff far out.

1467
01:13:45,080 --> 01:13:48,080
I mean, Patrick Mahomes may catch him. That's about the only person.

1468
01:13:48,080 --> 01:13:51,080
And even then, the rate he's on, he has to play 17, 18 years.

1469
01:13:51,080 --> 01:13:56,080
Someone's going to have to play 24 years, 25 years to catch him and outdo his numbers.

1470
01:13:56,080 --> 01:13:58,080
You're not going to do it. Right?

1471
01:13:58,080 --> 01:14:04,080
And so he has an opportunity to shove stuff so far out.

1472
01:14:04,080 --> 01:14:06,080
Can he do it? I don't know.

1473
01:14:06,080 --> 01:14:10,080
But I would witness him right now is something that players thought was impossible.

1474
01:14:10,080 --> 01:14:14,080
That everyone thought couldn't be done. It's not possible. You can't do that.

1475
01:14:14,080 --> 01:14:19,080
He's doing it. And he's doing it at a rate that many thought everyone thought was impossible.

1476
01:14:19,080 --> 01:14:24,080
59% from the field, 40% from the three if you round slightly up.

1477
01:14:24,080 --> 01:14:29,080
27, 8, and 6 in year 21.

1478
01:14:29,080 --> 01:14:33,080
He turns 39 in December.

1479
01:14:33,080 --> 01:14:36,080
He's a top five player in NBA.

1480
01:14:36,080 --> 01:14:40,080
That's a testament to him and a detriment to everyone else.

1481
01:14:40,080 --> 01:14:42,080
Because why is he better than him?

1482
01:14:42,080 --> 01:14:44,080
Definitely.

1483
01:14:44,080 --> 01:14:48,080
Why is he the most in shape person on the team? How is he doing this?

1484
01:14:48,080 --> 01:14:55,080
It's a guy giving talent, a guy giving ability, a guy giving physiological makeup.

1485
01:14:55,080 --> 01:14:57,080
But it's also hard work and dedication.

1486
01:14:57,080 --> 01:15:00,080
A million dollars a year goes through his body every single year.

1487
01:15:00,080 --> 01:15:02,080
Maybe $2 million.

1488
01:15:02,080 --> 01:15:04,080
Every single year he does that.

1489
01:15:04,080 --> 01:15:07,080
And he's showing on the court he's better than your favorite player.

1490
01:15:07,080 --> 01:15:09,080
Whoever he is.

1491
01:15:09,080 --> 01:15:13,080
Jokic, Tatum, Steph. That's who ends the argument for MVP.

1492
01:15:13,080 --> 01:15:16,080
They're not Steph because like I said it seems awful.

1493
01:15:16,080 --> 01:15:18,080
That's your argument.

1494
01:15:18,080 --> 01:15:21,080
The GOAT is the best player in the NBA.

1495
01:15:21,080 --> 01:15:23,080
One of the top three.

1496
01:15:23,080 --> 01:15:26,080
In year 21.

1497
01:15:26,080 --> 01:15:31,080
Enjoy it now. What you thought was impossible. He's doing it.

1498
01:15:31,080 --> 01:15:33,080
Some games are a little easy.

1499
01:15:33,080 --> 01:15:36,080
Enjoy it.

1500
01:15:36,080 --> 01:15:39,080
The end season tournament seems to be a hit.

1501
01:15:39,080 --> 01:15:41,080
We've talked about that before as well.

1502
01:15:41,080 --> 01:15:43,080
You've got guys like LeBron.

1503
01:15:43,080 --> 01:15:46,080
I mentioned that $500 grand is a big motivator.

1504
01:15:46,080 --> 01:15:50,080
You've got Dan Cuiusco saying I don't know what's going on but you can tell it's different.

1505
01:15:50,080 --> 01:15:52,080
Steph bought into it.

1506
01:15:52,080 --> 01:15:55,080
These games are intense man. These end season tournament games.

1507
01:15:55,080 --> 01:15:56,080
They just feel different.

1508
01:15:56,080 --> 01:15:58,080
The courts are awful. The jerseys are interesting.

1509
01:15:58,080 --> 01:16:01,080
But they feel different.

1510
01:16:01,080 --> 01:16:04,080
They're not quite playoff games but these pool play games feel different.

1511
01:16:04,080 --> 01:16:07,080
I can't wait until they get to the actual tournament games.

1512
01:16:07,080 --> 01:16:10,080
You know when they get into actual games where it's saying elimination now.

1513
01:16:10,080 --> 01:16:12,080
Pool play was great.

1514
01:16:12,080 --> 01:16:14,080
The lose game you're out of the tournament.

1515
01:16:14,080 --> 01:16:17,080
So then that game later in the season becomes a regular season game.

1516
01:16:17,080 --> 01:16:19,080
It's always kind of interesting.

1517
01:16:19,080 --> 01:16:26,080
But because in the WNBA or the commissioner cups there's not enough games to do a pool play than a playoff.

1518
01:16:26,080 --> 01:16:28,080
You just play so many commissioner cup games.

1519
01:16:28,080 --> 01:16:31,080
High-ass records. I think they have two more games.

1520
01:16:31,080 --> 01:16:35,080
And then they go into the high-ass four going to the final.

1521
01:16:35,080 --> 01:16:37,080
From what I can remember.

1522
01:16:37,080 --> 01:16:41,080
These games they're finishing pool play tonight and tomorrow or tonight and tomorrow.

1523
01:16:41,080 --> 01:16:42,080
Whatever.

1524
01:16:42,080 --> 01:16:44,080
Then they're going to go into the round robin.

1525
01:16:44,080 --> 01:16:46,080
They're going to go to the single elimination tournament.

1526
01:16:46,080 --> 01:16:52,080
Then the four teams left split out of their schedule and go to Vegas for a weekend.

1527
01:16:52,080 --> 01:16:58,080
I think it's Friday and Sunday are the dates that Saturday and Monday.

1528
01:16:58,080 --> 01:17:00,080
Are the dates of the tournament.

1529
01:17:00,080 --> 01:17:01,080
They'll split out.

1530
01:17:01,080 --> 01:17:02,080
You'll play Saturday.

1531
01:17:02,080 --> 01:17:03,080
You'll play Sunday.

1532
01:17:03,080 --> 01:17:04,080
You'll play Saturday and you'll play Monday.

1533
01:17:04,080 --> 01:17:07,080
Winner takes the trophy and the 500 grand.

1534
01:17:07,080 --> 01:17:08,080
But it is a motivator.

1535
01:17:08,080 --> 01:17:10,080
You know these guys are having a ball in this tournament.

1536
01:17:10,080 --> 01:17:12,080
It's new. It's exciting.

1537
01:17:12,080 --> 01:17:16,080
I was speaking to a few people and they were saying they're going to have to change the incentives.

1538
01:17:16,080 --> 01:17:17,080
After so many times.

1539
01:17:17,080 --> 01:17:21,080
I think the big thing right now they have going for them is that it's new.

1540
01:17:21,080 --> 01:17:25,080
I remember last year when they add all the trophies.

1541
01:17:25,080 --> 01:17:28,080
Eastern Conference Finals MVP, Western Conference Finals MVP, etc.

1542
01:17:28,080 --> 01:17:29,080
Clutch player.

1543
01:17:29,080 --> 01:17:33,080
People were going after it because they were saying it was the first one.

1544
01:17:33,080 --> 01:17:34,080
De'Aran Fox.

1545
01:17:34,080 --> 01:17:37,080
The first ever Clutch player of the year.

1546
01:17:37,080 --> 01:17:43,080
They say the first ever Eastern Conference Finals first of the year.

1547
01:17:43,080 --> 01:17:44,080
Steph Curry.

1548
01:17:44,080 --> 01:17:45,080
The first ever Western Conference.

1549
01:17:45,080 --> 01:17:46,080
You know what I'm saying.

1550
01:17:46,080 --> 01:17:47,080
These things were new.

1551
01:17:47,080 --> 01:17:50,080
People were going after them.

1552
01:17:50,080 --> 01:17:53,080
Winning that means you're in the finals anyway.

1553
01:17:53,080 --> 01:17:55,080
But I'm saying still have the Clutch player of the year.

1554
01:17:55,080 --> 01:17:57,080
So they do a campaign for DPOY.

1555
01:17:57,080 --> 01:17:59,080
You know it's just people go after those awards.

1556
01:17:59,080 --> 01:18:04,080
I think people are going after the end season tournament because it's new.

1557
01:18:04,080 --> 01:18:05,080
You know LeBron.

1558
01:18:05,080 --> 01:18:06,080
Jokic.

1559
01:18:06,080 --> 01:18:07,080
Steph.

1560
01:18:07,080 --> 01:18:08,080
Tatum.

1561
01:18:08,080 --> 01:18:09,080
Whatever.

1562
01:18:09,080 --> 01:18:12,080
They can put that feather in their hat that I was the first ever end season tournament champion.

1563
01:18:12,080 --> 01:18:14,080
I was the first ever end season tournament MVP.

1564
01:18:14,080 --> 01:18:17,080
It's just something that you can put in your hat that no one else can take from you.

1565
01:18:17,080 --> 01:18:19,080
There will be other end season tournament champions.

1566
01:18:19,080 --> 01:18:21,080
There will be other Clutch player of the year.

1567
01:18:21,080 --> 01:18:22,080
Whatever.

1568
01:18:22,080 --> 01:18:24,080
But those people have the distinction of being the first.

1569
01:18:24,080 --> 01:18:27,080
And so I think that's what the big motivation is.

1570
01:18:27,080 --> 01:18:28,080
It's fun.

1571
01:18:28,080 --> 01:18:29,080
It's been enjoyable.

1572
01:18:29,080 --> 01:18:30,080
I said the courts.

1573
01:18:30,080 --> 01:18:31,080
You know it's an end season tournament game.

1574
01:18:31,080 --> 01:18:33,080
You see a wreck looking court.

1575
01:18:33,080 --> 01:18:34,080
It's bright colored.

1576
01:18:34,080 --> 01:18:38,080
You know exactly what kind of game you're watching.

1577
01:18:38,080 --> 01:18:43,080
I think it adds intrigue for the fans and the players alike.

1578
01:18:43,080 --> 01:18:48,080
Bradley Beal has a back L-Mac that has prevented the arrival of the Phoenix Suns Big 3.

1579
01:18:48,080 --> 01:18:54,080
The couple of games Beal did play, the couple of, not the game, Booker was out.

1580
01:18:54,080 --> 01:18:59,080
So the Big 3 have still yet to make their home debut for the Phoenix Suns fans.

1581
01:18:59,080 --> 01:19:00,080
They played a game together.

1582
01:19:00,080 --> 01:19:01,080
A couple of games together on the road.

1583
01:19:01,080 --> 01:19:04,080
They have not played together in Phoenix yet.

1584
01:19:04,080 --> 01:19:07,080
Beal was out for the next couple of weeks due to a back injury at least.

1585
01:19:07,080 --> 01:19:12,080
So who knows how long it is going to be until they get on the court together.

1586
01:19:12,080 --> 01:19:15,080
And then finally the Golden State Warriors who we spoke about earlier.

1587
01:19:15,080 --> 01:19:16,080
Finally got a win.

1588
01:19:16,080 --> 01:19:17,080
Finally.

1589
01:19:17,080 --> 01:19:19,080
They had lost like six straight.

1590
01:19:19,080 --> 01:19:25,080
Dermot Green still serving his suspension for putting Rudy Gobert in a rear neck and choke.

1591
01:19:25,080 --> 01:19:30,080
And so Steph Curry went on a three point barrage against the Bulls, if I remember correctly.

1592
01:19:30,080 --> 01:19:33,080
And they got their first win in six games.

1593
01:19:33,080 --> 01:19:37,080
He finally had teammates join him in the 20 point column.

1594
01:19:37,080 --> 01:19:40,080
Up until a couple of games ago no one on this team had scored 20 besides him.

1595
01:19:40,080 --> 01:19:42,080
Kade Thompson had looked absolutely awful.

1596
01:19:42,080 --> 01:19:45,080
He scored 20 points his last game.

1597
01:19:45,080 --> 01:19:46,080
Wiggins put up 23.

1598
01:19:46,080 --> 01:19:48,080
Steph had some points as well of course.

1599
01:19:48,080 --> 01:19:50,080
Four or five three including a four point play.

1600
01:19:50,080 --> 01:19:53,080
And so the Warriors look a lot better than they did.

1601
01:19:53,080 --> 01:19:56,080
Kudos to them because right now they're sitting tense.

1602
01:19:56,080 --> 01:19:59,080
They're actually playing the Rockets for the right to play the winner.

1603
01:19:59,080 --> 01:20:01,080
The loser of the Sun's Pelicans for the eighth seed.

1604
01:20:01,080 --> 01:20:04,080
If the season were to end right now.

1605
01:20:04,080 --> 01:20:10,080
If we look at the Pelicans, they, my Pelicans, they have, they're surviving their trading order.

1606
01:20:10,080 --> 01:20:12,080
They had a lot of good teams in the last week.

1607
01:20:12,080 --> 01:20:14,080
Three of the top teams in the West.

1608
01:20:14,080 --> 01:20:15,080
They went two and one against them.

1609
01:20:15,080 --> 01:20:18,080
They own wins against the Nuggets and the Kings.

1610
01:20:18,080 --> 01:20:20,080
They lost a tight one to the Timberwolves.

1611
01:20:20,080 --> 01:20:22,080
None of those games through it fully healthy.

1612
01:20:22,080 --> 01:20:24,080
Jose Alvarado is now back.

1613
01:20:24,080 --> 01:20:27,080
Trey Murphy is starting to, he's jogging up the court now.

1614
01:20:27,080 --> 01:20:30,080
Larry Nancy Jemacullum is going through four practices.

1615
01:20:30,080 --> 01:20:33,080
Zion Williamson and Brandon Engelman still maintain their health.

1616
01:20:33,080 --> 01:20:37,080
The Pelicans can have one of those teams where you're not going to want to play them.

1617
01:20:37,080 --> 01:20:38,080
Do I think they're a finalist team?

1618
01:20:38,080 --> 01:20:39,080
No.

1619
01:20:39,080 --> 01:20:43,080
Do I think they have the ability to make the West to come as finals?

1620
01:20:43,080 --> 01:20:44,080
Yes.

1621
01:20:44,080 --> 01:20:47,080
That's been the ceiling for the Pelicans the past two seasons.

1622
01:20:47,080 --> 01:20:48,080
Ask Steve and Ed.

1623
01:20:48,080 --> 01:20:51,080
They're a Western Conference finals team if they're healthy.

1624
01:20:51,080 --> 01:20:53,080
If they get into April healthy.

1625
01:20:53,080 --> 01:20:55,080
I don't think they're about to make any moves.

1626
01:20:55,080 --> 01:20:58,080
Maybe a backup center.

1627
01:20:58,080 --> 01:21:00,080
Other than they have Plumlee.

1628
01:21:00,080 --> 01:21:01,080
Or Zeller.

1629
01:21:01,080 --> 01:21:03,080
I'm sorry, Cody Zeller's there.

1630
01:21:03,080 --> 01:21:05,080
But you got Jordan Valencia, you got Balanchine,

1631
01:21:05,080 --> 01:21:07,080
Zion, Brandon Engelman, Jemacullum,

1632
01:21:07,080 --> 01:21:11,080
Jose Alvarado, Trey Murphy, Herb Jones, Dyson Daniels,

1633
01:21:11,080 --> 01:21:13,080
Cody Zeller, Jordan Hawkins,

1634
01:21:13,080 --> 01:21:13,720
and the

1635
01:21:13,720 --> 01:21:15,080
shooting rookie arguably ever.

1636
01:21:15,080 --> 01:21:17,080
He's on pace to be the greatest one ever.

1637
01:21:17,080 --> 01:21:20,080
And I'm sure I'm leaving out somebody.

1638
01:21:20,080 --> 01:21:24,080
That team is stacked in terms of 1 through 12.

1639
01:21:24,080 --> 01:21:25,080
There's Larry Nance.

1640
01:21:25,080 --> 01:21:29,080
There's 12 guys on that team that deserve minutes on NBA rotation.

1641
01:21:29,080 --> 01:21:30,080
On every team.

1642
01:21:30,080 --> 01:21:33,080
You can find a spot for Dyson Daniels on every roster on NBA.

1643
01:21:33,080 --> 01:21:36,080
Cody Zeller can be on every roster on NBA.

1644
01:21:36,080 --> 01:21:40,080
Maybe there's a couple he doesn't fit because they have a big and a good backup team.

1645
01:21:40,080 --> 01:21:43,080
For the most part, Cody Zeller fits on every roster on the NBA.

1646
01:21:43,080 --> 01:21:45,080
And those guys are the end of the bench.

1647
01:21:45,080 --> 01:21:48,080
Jordan Hawkins fits on, or Matt Ryan.

1648
01:21:48,080 --> 01:21:50,080
Jordan Hawkins fits on every roster on the NBA.

1649
01:21:50,080 --> 01:21:52,080
So when you have this level of talent,

1650
01:21:52,080 --> 01:21:56,080
Willie Green can have a darn good time trying to put the minutes together.

1651
01:21:56,080 --> 01:21:58,080
But that's a team that can make no mistakes.

1652
01:21:58,080 --> 01:22:02,080
I think they're a championship team though.

1653
01:22:02,080 --> 01:22:03,080
Because they don't have the requirements.

1654
01:22:03,080 --> 01:22:05,080
Even the unquestioned best player in the world,

1655
01:22:05,080 --> 01:22:08,080
two of the top five or three of the top 15.

1656
01:22:08,080 --> 01:22:12,080
They have two of the top 20, three of the top 30.

1657
01:22:12,080 --> 01:22:14,080
And they don't have just a ridiculous bench to fill it out.

1658
01:22:14,080 --> 01:22:18,080
The only team that went with numbers like that was the Pistons.

1659
01:22:18,080 --> 01:22:20,080
And it was a down year for the NBA.

1660
01:22:20,080 --> 01:22:22,080
The Lakers were beat up.

1661
01:22:22,080 --> 01:22:24,080
The teams can't play the way the Pistons played.

1662
01:22:24,080 --> 01:22:26,080
It was the whole thing.

1663
01:22:26,080 --> 01:22:27,080
No one's won it like that.

1664
01:22:27,080 --> 01:22:30,080
Before or since, the Mavericks also won it like that.

1665
01:22:30,080 --> 01:22:33,080
But if you really think about it, Dirk was the best player to play.

1666
01:22:33,080 --> 01:22:36,080
He went through Kobe, LeBron, and KD and won finals.

1667
01:22:36,080 --> 01:22:38,080
He's the best player.

1668
01:22:38,080 --> 01:22:39,080
And he beat the Spurs too.

1669
01:22:39,080 --> 01:22:41,080
That's the best player on the planet.

1670
01:22:41,080 --> 01:22:43,080
At least for that time period.

1671
01:22:43,080 --> 01:22:48,080
So I'm excited for this brotherhood season.

1672
01:22:48,080 --> 01:22:50,080
The record's not showing what the talent's showing.

1673
01:22:50,080 --> 01:22:53,080
But they're becoming back healthy.

1674
01:22:53,080 --> 01:22:57,080
They just beat the Kings by like 40 with CJ McCullough,

1675
01:22:57,080 --> 01:22:59,080
Larry Nance, Trey Murphy in street clothes,

1676
01:22:59,080 --> 01:23:02,080
Jose Everardo on a heavy man restriction.

1677
01:23:02,080 --> 01:23:06,080
That stage is there for the Kings.

1678
01:23:06,080 --> 01:23:10,080
So very excited about this season if you're a Pellicots fan.

1679
01:23:10,080 --> 01:23:13,080
But up next, I keep calling the best for last.

1680
01:23:13,080 --> 01:23:16,080
We're going to have Jack's hot take about again,

1681
01:23:16,080 --> 01:23:45,080
about Jane Daniels winning the high school.

1682
01:23:45,080 --> 01:23:50,080
Welcome back into the show.

1683
01:23:50,080 --> 01:23:55,080
And let's discuss Jane Daniels winning the high school.

1684
01:23:55,080 --> 01:23:57,080
So I'm no longer going to say he's the favorite.

1685
01:23:57,080 --> 01:23:59,080
I'm going to say my Jack's hot take is that he's going to win.

1686
01:23:59,080 --> 01:24:02,080
Now the sports books have all, most of them have put him as the favorite.

1687
01:24:02,080 --> 01:24:04,080
And now he's not even plus money.

1688
01:24:04,080 --> 01:24:05,080
He's minus money now.

1689
01:24:05,080 --> 01:24:09,080
Because they're anticipating that he goes off against A&M.

1690
01:24:09,080 --> 01:24:12,080
And then of course we have to sit the week.

1691
01:24:12,080 --> 01:24:13,080
Now that could hurt him.

1692
01:24:13,080 --> 01:24:16,080
He's not in the conference hamper.

1693
01:24:16,080 --> 01:24:19,080
Bo Nix and Michael Pennings are going to play each other

1694
01:24:19,080 --> 01:24:21,080
in the conference hamper game.

1695
01:24:21,080 --> 01:24:25,080
For the Pac-12, Jane Daniels will be watching.

1696
01:24:25,080 --> 01:24:27,080
That's the only two other competitors in the country.

1697
01:24:27,080 --> 01:24:33,080
Marvin Harrison Jr. has an outside shot at it.

1698
01:24:33,080 --> 01:24:35,080
But the West Coast, I think they're trying to bathe together

1699
01:24:35,080 --> 01:24:37,080
and get one of the other guys to Heisman.

1700
01:24:37,080 --> 01:24:40,080
It's the first time they've had a legit Heisman case in years.

1701
01:24:40,080 --> 01:24:44,080
But Pennings and Nicks will go at it in the Pac-12 title game.

1702
01:24:44,080 --> 01:24:47,080
Jane Daniels will be watching the SC title game from home.

1703
01:24:47,080 --> 01:24:50,080
So he won't have a national instead because him versus A&M,

1704
01:24:50,080 --> 01:24:52,080
maybe ESPN too picks it up.

1705
01:24:52,080 --> 01:24:55,080
But that's not a real national barn burner type of game.

1706
01:24:55,080 --> 01:24:57,080
Especially with Jembo Fischart being fired.

1707
01:24:57,080 --> 01:25:00,080
That's not really the barn burner type of game to watch.

1708
01:25:00,080 --> 01:25:03,080
Especially with Oregon in rivalry week versus Oregon State

1709
01:25:03,080 --> 01:25:07,080
when DJ Ubuyagalele watches his playing of Wazoo.

1710
01:25:07,080 --> 01:25:13,080
LSU A&M is not the typical barn burner you're going to want to pay attention to this week.

1711
01:25:13,080 --> 01:25:17,080
But Jane Daniels is doing something in the country.

1712
01:25:17,080 --> 01:25:20,080
I think it's obvious he's the Heisman.

1713
01:25:20,080 --> 01:25:23,080
He ranks number one in yards, number one in passing touchdowns,

1714
01:25:23,080 --> 01:25:26,080
number one in total touchdowns, number one in yards per game,

1715
01:25:26,080 --> 01:25:29,080
number one in yards for pass, number one in passer rating.

1716
01:25:29,080 --> 01:25:34,080
He has the most rushing yards by a quarterback in the country.

1717
01:25:34,080 --> 01:25:37,080
He is first in rush attempts.

1718
01:25:37,080 --> 01:25:40,080
He's first in rush per attempt.

1719
01:25:40,080 --> 01:25:42,080
He's third in the country in passing yards.

1720
01:25:42,080 --> 01:25:45,080
He's fifth in complete percentage.

1721
01:25:45,080 --> 01:25:51,080
In his number of big plays, 20 yard plays in college football, he has 82.

1722
01:25:51,080 --> 01:25:55,080
The next person to him has 61.

1723
01:25:55,080 --> 01:25:58,080
That is Caleb Williams, whose prediction of the number one overall pick this draft,

1724
01:25:58,080 --> 01:26:02,080
followed by Jackson Dart and Michael Penick's title of 69.

1725
01:26:02,080 --> 01:26:09,080
What Jane Daniels is doing is not only historic, it is football anomalies.

1726
01:26:09,080 --> 01:26:16,080
It's stuff that if you paid for it to happen, you wouldn't believe it's happening.

1727
01:26:16,080 --> 01:26:25,080
If you absolutely just knew without a shadow of a doubt that, hey,

1728
01:26:25,080 --> 01:26:29,080
he's doing stuff no one's ever seen,

1729
01:26:29,080 --> 01:26:40,080
he's doing stuff no one's ever even contemplated in the college football level.

1730
01:26:40,080 --> 01:26:44,080
He's doing video game numbers in real life.

1731
01:26:44,080 --> 01:26:55,080
Now, that's a situation that is something that people think that they always can do, that man.

1732
01:26:55,080 --> 01:27:00,080
Video game numbers, video game numbers, and that's thrown around so much.

1733
01:27:00,080 --> 01:27:05,080
He's actually doing video game numbers in real life.

1734
01:27:05,080 --> 01:27:10,080
It is absolutely insane what he is able to get done.

1735
01:27:10,080 --> 01:27:13,080
He's doing it with a defense that is absolutely awful.

1736
01:27:13,080 --> 01:27:16,080
He's needed crambling in Georgia State.

1737
01:27:16,080 --> 01:27:20,080
Now, I admit, they spat pad against Georgia State, but Bo Nicks did it too.

1738
01:27:20,080 --> 01:27:25,080
Crambling in Georgia State were games that they didn't need every point.

1739
01:27:25,080 --> 01:27:35,080
Every other game this season, they felt like they've needed every single point to just survive the game.

1740
01:27:35,080 --> 01:27:40,080
Not to mention, like, win the game, but to physically survive the game,

1741
01:27:40,080 --> 01:27:45,080
it felt like they have needed every single point out of Jane Daniels and all of his explosiveness.

1742
01:27:45,080 --> 01:27:49,080
I think he is well more than deserving of being your Heisman Trophy.

1743
01:27:49,080 --> 01:27:52,080
I think he will win the Heisman Trophy.

1744
01:27:52,080 --> 01:28:00,080
I think he submits it with the number 450 yards, six touchdown performance against Texanil.

1745
01:28:00,080 --> 01:28:06,080
He's got a couple guys nearing SEC records, Malik Nevers is nearing a couple SEC records.

1746
01:28:06,080 --> 01:28:08,080
SEC is in bulls now.

1747
01:28:08,080 --> 01:28:12,080
Be very honest and see if Daniels, Nevers, and Thomas play in the bowl game,

1748
01:28:12,080 --> 01:28:17,080
because it will be the Chick-fil-A bowl, probably, if I had to think about it.

1749
01:28:17,080 --> 01:28:19,080
I think Georgia is in the playoff.

1750
01:28:19,080 --> 01:28:21,080
Bama gets the sugar bowl.

1751
01:28:21,080 --> 01:28:24,080
Missouri is the next highest ranked SEC team.

1752
01:28:24,080 --> 01:28:29,080
They draw...what rights do they have?

1753
01:28:29,080 --> 01:28:32,080
Chick-fil-A?

1754
01:28:32,080 --> 01:28:36,080
So maybe, you know, LSU is back in Miami, Florida.

1755
01:28:36,080 --> 01:28:39,080
I forgot the other game, Miami, Florida. Not the Cheesy Bowls, another one.

1756
01:28:39,080 --> 01:28:42,080
It will be very interesting to see if Daniels, Nevers, and Thomas,

1757
01:28:42,080 --> 01:28:47,080
all projected top 25 picks right now, play in the bowl game.

1758
01:28:47,080 --> 01:28:49,080
Cross the bridge when we get there.

1759
01:28:49,080 --> 01:28:51,080
Maybe it's a Gary Nussmeyer show with the young guys.

1760
01:28:51,080 --> 01:28:53,080
I kind of have a preview for next season.

1761
01:28:53,080 --> 01:28:57,080
But we're definitely going to keep our eye on the Texas A&M game.

1762
01:28:57,080 --> 01:29:00,080
What I think Daniels is it is his last shot.

1763
01:29:00,080 --> 01:29:04,080
I think it's going to be a game where LSU could be up to 60-3 and keep throwing it.

1764
01:29:04,080 --> 01:29:08,080
But damn, it's his last shot to impress the voters.

1765
01:29:08,080 --> 01:29:12,080
I think there's some West Coast bias coming out all over the West Coast,

1766
01:29:12,080 --> 01:29:16,080
dropping bombs on Daniels left and right, trying to discredit his case.

1767
01:29:16,080 --> 01:29:22,080
Because again, they know this is their best Heisman chance since Richie Bush.

1768
01:29:22,080 --> 01:29:24,080
I mean, they've had some other years where they've gotten close.

1769
01:29:24,080 --> 01:29:26,080
Christian McCaffrey, I'm sorry. Christian McCaffrey.

1770
01:29:26,080 --> 01:29:28,080
Andrew Luck kind of thing.

1771
01:29:28,080 --> 01:29:30,080
This is their best Heisman case since then.

1772
01:29:30,080 --> 01:29:33,080
And they've got two of them. They've got Nick Sandpenny.

1773
01:29:33,080 --> 01:29:35,080
Excuse me, was Cusplick third vote?

1774
01:29:35,080 --> 01:29:37,080
But I think Jayne Daniels is the best player in the country.

1775
01:29:37,080 --> 01:29:39,080
Paul Feinbaum, he's the best player in the country.

1776
01:29:39,080 --> 01:29:43,080
He's got three losses. None of them are on him.

1777
01:29:43,080 --> 01:29:45,080
He went to a war with Florida State.

1778
01:29:45,080 --> 01:29:46,080
That game he didn't play all that great.

1779
01:29:46,080 --> 01:29:48,080
He went to war with Alabama State.

1780
01:29:48,080 --> 01:29:49,080
He got knocked out with a concussion.

1781
01:29:49,080 --> 01:29:52,080
And he went to war with Ole Miss. His defense just got awful.

1782
01:29:52,080 --> 01:29:56,080
I think Matt House should be fired for LSU anyway.

1783
01:29:56,080 --> 01:29:59,080
But that is all we have for the day.

1784
01:29:59,080 --> 01:30:03,080
It's the longest show we've had in a while, just across an hour and a half.

1785
01:30:03,080 --> 01:30:05,080
I appreciate you guys for hanging in with me.

1786
01:30:05,080 --> 01:30:07,080
We had a lot of energy today.

1787
01:30:07,080 --> 01:30:10,080
We had a lot of stuff to get through you guys today.

1788
01:30:10,080 --> 01:30:13,080
But this is your...oh, so that's all my new Instagram followers.

1789
01:30:13,080 --> 01:30:18,080
Yeah, you guys have grown the Instagram a good bit the past couple of days.

1790
01:30:18,080 --> 01:30:21,080
Also, remember you guys can call us over to the different social medias.

1791
01:30:21,080 --> 01:30:23,080
Justin Time Sports is on YouTube.

1792
01:30:23,080 --> 01:30:27,080
I upload the audios to the YouTube channel so that way you guys can listen

1793
01:30:27,080 --> 01:30:29,080
if you're a big YouTube person as well.

1794
01:30:29,080 --> 01:30:30,080
So subscribe to the YouTube channel.

1795
01:30:30,080 --> 01:30:33,080
I'll make sure to start mentioning that in the intro.

1796
01:30:33,080 --> 01:30:35,080
But that is all I have for today.

1797
01:30:35,080 --> 01:31:04,080
This is your owner and host, Justin Jackson, signing out.

1798
01:31:05,080 --> 01:31:30,080
See you next time.
