It's going down to week 14 and 15.

Welcome into season four, episode 37 of the Justin Time Spokes Podcast.

14
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:40,160
As always, I am Justin Jackson, your owner and host.

15
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:45,160
Soon to be big Justin Time Spokes news will be starting to get guests on more often.

16
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:49,160
Obviously, you need for most of the time, but once a month, maybe twice a month, I'll

17
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:50,160
be starting to get in some guests.

18
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:55,160
So you guys will be able to hear from another voice other than mine, although I know you

19
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,160
guys are interested in me.

20
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:58,160
Appreciate all you guys.

21
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:02,160
Again, social medias are growing up, Instagram is growing so is like every day.

22
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,160
Facebook is also growing as well.

23
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,160
So I appreciate you guys big time.

24
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,160
Need to get that X engagement up.

25
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,160
TikTok's growing as well too.

26
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,160
Need to get that X engagement up.

27
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:16,160
But other than that, man, I appreciate all of you guys for what you are doing with the

28
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:17,160
podcast.

29
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,160
But let's jump right into it.

30
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,160
None of the nitty gritty.

31
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,160
Let's jump right into NFL League 14.

32
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,160
Again, sorry for the delay, one day delay, guys.

33
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,160
I know this show usually comes out Thursday morning.

34
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,160
It's going to come out Friday morning.

35
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:33,160
My apologies on that.

36
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:34,160
I just didn't have any.

37
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:38,160
And I told you guys before, I missed the week after I'm filling it.

38
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,160
That's not well either.

39
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:44,160
I don't want to give you guys a subpar show for the sake of putting out a subpar show.

40
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:48,160
I feel like it's not my best effort if not because that's what I can give you.

41
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:52,160
I'd rather not put out any show as opposed to putting out something that's half hearted

42
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:53,160
and half effort.

43
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,160
So that's definitely how I feel about that.

44
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,160
So I wasn't feeling yesterday.

45
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:58,160
Wasn't feeling the energy.

46
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,160
Didn't feel like I could deliver the product to you guys.

47
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:01,160
You guys deserve a need.

48
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,160
And so I'm going to deliver it today or Friday, I should say.

49
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:10,160
So I won't discuss Thursday night football because it happened before I actually got

50
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,160
the chance to speak on it or the time it got to here.

51
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:20,160
So I won't do anything such as discuss Thursday night football because it got here.

52
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,160
Kind of a moot point.

53
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,160
But anyway, I never mind what I want to talk about.

54
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,160
Let's talk about what I do want to talk about.

55
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:33,160
Apparently, the best two quarterbacks in the league last week, Tommy DeVito and Zach Wilson.

56
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:42,160
Imagine me saying the names Tommy DeVito and Zach Wilson will win NFL Play of the Week awards

57
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:43,160
in the NFL season.

58
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:44,160
Imagine if I told you that.

59
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:51,160
Imagine if I told you they would do it in the same exact week.

60
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:57,160
Imagine if I told you they would do it on bad teams.

61
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:06,160
Imagine if I told you that someone named Tommy DeVito was starting for the Giants anyway.

62
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,160
Zach Wilson started.

63
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,160
I never thought Zach Wilson was starting for the Jets.

64
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,160
So much about this is off.

65
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,160
It's honestly mind-boggling.

66
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,160
But they earned it.

67
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:24,160
Tommy DeVito with his mob boss looking agent played a great game against the Packers.

68
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,160
Not a very good quarterback side mid.

69
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,160
It was a down-weak support back side.

70
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,160
Not a lot of quarterbacks in the league.

71
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,160
Also a lot of QB injuries.

72
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,160
Raiders on the backup.

73
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,160
Giants on their third string.

74
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,160
Jets are on their backup.

75
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,160
They want to play the week.

76
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,160
The Patriots are starting their backup.

77
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,160
The Spielers are starting their backup as well.

78
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,160
It's not like the Browns are on their backup.

79
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,160
The Bengals are on their backup.

80
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,160
The Seahawks played their backup.

81
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,160
Not a lot of weak ones started to play whether on the league.

82
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,160
The Chargers officially lost Herber.

83
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,160
We'll discuss that later.

84
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:03,160
But it is actually insane.

85
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,160
The fact that Tommy DeVito and Zach Wilson played the week.

86
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:07,160
I don't know.

87
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,160
I thought it was going to be a Tommy DeVito game.

88
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:10,160
But that's still mind-boggling.

89
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,160
But Tommy DeVito played well against the Packers.

90
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:13,160
He ran the offense.

91
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,160
Shaquon Barkley carried his load.

92
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:19,160
And he was able to dice apart the Packers.

93
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,160
He never really had any back-breaking moments.

94
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,160
Obviously he got the win.

95
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:26,160
The Packers team is one of those teams that late in the season,

96
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,160
they're still going to fight hard.

97
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:29,160
They're going to play hard.

98
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,160
They're going to play hard from the atmosphere.

99
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,160
I wouldn't want to play the Packers.

100
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:34,160
That's the team.

101
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:35,160
You'll see the record.

102
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:36,160
And your brain might relax a little bit.

103
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:37,160
And then they'll beat you.

104
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,160
So I don't want to play the Packers.

105
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,160
It's not an organization I want to see right now.

106
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,160
But the Giants got it done.

107
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,160
The way the Giants are playing hard for Brian Daple,

108
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,160
I wouldn't want to play the Giants right now either.

109
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:51,160
If you're a good team, you want to play those teams kind of giving up.

110
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,160
You want to play that team, shoot Carolina.

111
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,160
Carolina's going to play hard, but they're not the correct answer.

112
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,160
Chicago's trying to help out their draft position.

113
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:05,160
They might start having cast-forms and rolling injuries over these last few weeks.

114
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,160
But that Packers team, they're going to fight and they're going to scrap Matt Lashota.

115
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:09,160
Believe in that.

116
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,160
They're bored of directors because they don't have an owner.

117
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:12,160
But their bored of directors.

118
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,160
They're going to believe in that sort of thing.

119
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:17,160
They go out and try to compete every single day and every single week.

120
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,160
So that Packers team is not the team I want to play.

121
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,140
the Giants were the Giants, two pro contenders,

122
00:06:22,140 --> 00:06:24,840
and Tommy DeVito and Saquon Barkley,

123
00:06:24,840 --> 00:06:27,500
part of the much-sliced and diced,

124
00:06:27,500 --> 00:06:30,040
that package due to the tune

125
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,440
of Tommy DeVito winning player of the week.

126
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,680
Then, Zach Wilson played Houston in a game,

127
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:38,480
I just knew this was gonna be a CJ Stroud,

128
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:42,080
like, not coming out party, but a game he played well.

129
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:43,880
And not because the judge needed a spat,

130
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:45,360
they're actually really, really good.

131
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,760
But I figured Zach Wilson put him in a few bad spots,

132
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:49,720
and he got a lot of picks on Zach Wilson.

133
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,200
Zach throws a couple of awful interceptions,

134
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,960
one maybe a big six, one down inside the 30,

135
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,300
style takes advantage, two touchdowns,

136
00:06:57,300 --> 00:06:59,300
hits three or four more field goals,

137
00:06:59,300 --> 00:07:01,080
you know, and they win, but we get to go

138
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,500
with like 26 to 10, or something like that.

139
00:07:03,500 --> 00:07:06,080
You know, that's kinda how I imagined the game going.

140
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:09,280
The game didn't go like that at all.

141
00:07:09,280 --> 00:07:11,740
Zach Wilson was the one slicing and dicing,

142
00:07:11,740 --> 00:07:13,780
CJ Stroud ends up with a concussion,

143
00:07:13,780 --> 00:07:15,660
he's like, he's still in the concussion protocol,

144
00:07:15,660 --> 00:07:18,060
as the time is recorded.

145
00:07:18,060 --> 00:07:21,420
And, you know, just slicing and dicing with Zach Wilson,

146
00:07:21,420 --> 00:07:25,120
running around looking necessary, throwing on time passes,

147
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:26,200
you know, looking like a guy

148
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:27,800
who asked his coach to be the starter again.

149
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,000
Like, look like a guy who wants to be in the moment,

150
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,840
who wants to have that time in the sun,

151
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:36,280
who knows that his time in New York is probably ending,

152
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,000
and that he needs to put some decent tape out there,

153
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:40,340
and he needs to trade his words good,

154
00:07:40,340 --> 00:07:43,840
like he's showing our outfit, and so much of the jazz on.

155
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:47,220
So kudos to Zach Wilson and Tommy De Jido

156
00:07:47,220 --> 00:07:49,560
for winning NFC and AFC Play of the Week,

157
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:51,720
you know, for the Jets,

158
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:53,920
I mean, for New York football in general.

159
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,260
The Baltimore Ravens and the Los Angeles Rams

160
00:07:57,260 --> 00:08:00,200
went into a hell of a game, hell of a battle.

161
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:01,540
Went into overtime,

162
00:08:01,540 --> 00:08:03,460
Lamar Jackson made a ridiculous play,

163
00:08:03,460 --> 00:08:06,900
he dances around somebody, stops, fires into, on the money,

164
00:08:08,140 --> 00:08:09,540
took a guy dragging his feet to the corner,

165
00:08:09,540 --> 00:08:12,480
didn't know, I mean, great play by Lamar.

166
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,240
You got some moments like that from him this season,

167
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,580
where he's like, oh my god, he's amazing.

168
00:08:17,580 --> 00:08:19,080
And then you have probably gets his name,

169
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:22,280
what in the, what's that, Lamar?

170
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,860
And so that is something that I think the Ravens

171
00:08:24,860 --> 00:08:26,460
have to go a little bit deeper into.

172
00:08:26,460 --> 00:08:29,660
Todd Munchers, the great job of the officer coordinator.

173
00:08:29,660 --> 00:08:31,200
I'm seeing a lot of similar routes,

174
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,860
Brock Bowers ran, Mike Andrews is running them.

175
00:08:34,860 --> 00:08:37,260
And so that is a natural transition.

176
00:08:37,260 --> 00:08:39,140
It's like, if he entered,

177
00:08:39,140 --> 00:08:41,380
you know, had to perfectly map out

178
00:08:41,380 --> 00:08:43,280
who he wanted Brock Bowers to be,

179
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:44,740
it'd be Mike Andrews.

180
00:08:44,740 --> 00:08:47,540
So the fact that Todd Muncher was able to go

181
00:08:47,540 --> 00:08:52,540
straight from, straight from Brock Bowers

182
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:57,380
into Mike Andrews is an absolute goldmine.

183
00:08:57,380 --> 00:08:59,460
He's got a dramatic advantage

184
00:08:59,460 --> 00:09:00,560
because they didn't have to skim line

185
00:09:00,560 --> 00:09:01,960
to him without a good tight end.

186
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,520
He has one of the better three tight ends in the NFL,

187
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,840
which is Kelsey Kettle and then Mike Andrews.

188
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:09,600
Probably an order, I ordered them.

189
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,540
He's one of the best three tight ends in pro football.

190
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,480
And then the defense for the Ravens for the first time,

191
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,540
or one of the first couple of times,

192
00:09:18,540 --> 00:09:20,780
really was stressed out by the Rams.

193
00:09:20,780 --> 00:09:23,340
Shami, they had a strategy going in

194
00:09:23,340 --> 00:09:26,620
and he did his best to execute that strategy.

195
00:09:26,620 --> 00:09:30,660
Cooper, Cooper, N'Kua, that's a dangerous combination.

196
00:09:30,660 --> 00:09:32,780
And of course you have Mass Backer putting the trigger.

197
00:09:32,780 --> 00:09:34,760
They were able to create time for Mass Backer.

198
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:38,000
He was able to put it on the money for them.

199
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,360
They needed a short run, they would get the run.

200
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:46,360
And it was just a showcase of what the Rams offensively

201
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,100
could look close to being at the peak of its powers.

202
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:55,780
And it was just a very impressive show by the Rams.

203
00:09:55,780 --> 00:09:57,180
The Ravens filled it out.

204
00:09:57,180 --> 00:09:59,280
That's what I'm sure they wanted to actually do.

205
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,240
Now we talk about it, we'll talk about it more in the NBA.

206
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,440
We talk about it more in basketball than in football.

207
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:09,160
Sometimes it just, it's a god.

208
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,160
And you get that in basketball.

209
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:15,120
Sometimes the NBA strategies were great.

210
00:10:17,060 --> 00:10:20,360
in the Rams, it didn't matter what strategy he was.

211
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,200
He was just better than Ronald.

212
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,240
You know, we talk about it in hockey.

213
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,440
Sometimes when it's great,

214
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,840
those teams were just better than the Canadians.

215
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:32,540
Ronald Rose had a way of dressing them.

216
00:10:32,540 --> 00:10:35,180
He was just a really better leader.

217
00:10:35,180 --> 00:10:36,940
And what you see in those series is,

218
00:10:36,940 --> 00:10:40,540
sometimes the strategy doesn't matter

219
00:10:40,540 --> 00:10:44,560
because the execution of their strategy is so much better

220
00:10:44,560 --> 00:10:46,720
because he is that strategy.

221
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:50,760
And that's kinda how I feel about the Baltimore Ravens game.

222
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:54,560
It's like, the Mark Jackson's guy is really, really good.

223
00:10:54,560 --> 00:10:59,560
And he'll cover the worst of schematic inefficiencies

224
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,600
and shortcomings because he's just that good.

225
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:08,540
He'll just make up for stuff that should not be made up for

226
00:11:08,540 --> 00:11:13,540
because he's just that level of football player.

227
00:11:14,820 --> 00:11:17,680
Football IQ in the Marlins is just ridiculous.

228
00:11:17,680 --> 00:11:20,120
So he's able to make up for some of the defensive

229
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:21,220
lackadaisicalness.

230
00:11:22,560 --> 00:11:24,520
And of course, he can get a big game

231
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:26,000
even in the touchdown guard.

232
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:31,000
But something is wrong in his story.

233
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,880
Like something is terrible.

234
00:11:41,980 --> 00:11:44,440
It reminds me of a high school musical line

235
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,120
by Sharpe that I actually saw.

236
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,520
And she's saying, it's not what I want,

237
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:51,180
it's not what I plan.

238
00:11:51,180 --> 00:11:54,560
And I just gotta say, I do not understand.

239
00:11:54,560 --> 00:11:57,860
That's gotta be what's going on in the Chiefs meeting.

240
00:11:57,860 --> 00:11:59,560
This is not planned.

241
00:11:59,560 --> 00:12:01,500
I don't know what's going on.

242
00:12:01,500 --> 00:12:04,600
But I can firmly say I do not understand.

243
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,040
Like, receiver issue inside.

244
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,040
Yes, Kader is on the bottom of all sides.

245
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,740
Guess they had a game where it was just full of frauds.

246
00:12:13,740 --> 00:12:15,840
But there's certain games, like there's three games here,

247
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:17,640
where that didn't happen.

248
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,460
And the offense was flat out in the league.

249
00:12:20,460 --> 00:12:22,220
It's like it hurt them to score.

250
00:12:22,220 --> 00:12:27,220
And it was just, they don't look right without Airbnb.

251
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,060
Airbnb started the commanding offense,

252
00:12:30,060 --> 00:12:32,840
it became pretty solid, especially Sam Powell.

253
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,900
Those guys in Kansas City did not look great.

254
00:12:35,900 --> 00:12:38,140
They looked all right two years ago.

255
00:12:38,140 --> 00:12:39,740
And that was the first year about Tyree Hill.

256
00:12:39,740 --> 00:12:41,640
He was still the judge by the clock.

257
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,640
Now they pretty much have a symbol that's new

258
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:49,640
that has a few Tyree Hill limitations about players.

259
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:53,600
Scott Moore, Kader is telling,

260
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,140
they brought back people in hard man life.

261
00:12:56,140 --> 00:12:57,840
And it's all for the same purpose.

262
00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:59,940
That is shooting fast.

263
00:12:59,940 --> 00:13:01,880
If you're fast, they're out of grace,

264
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:03,520
and the bullets hop off the defense.

265
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,580
Because what made the Chiefs so hard to defend

266
00:13:06,580 --> 00:13:10,360
is the fact that not only did you have to defend the right

267
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:14,160
and not only did you have to film the shallow crosshull.

268
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:17,000
Any given moment, the wrong step is a 50 yards

269
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:18,560
that's not on your head.

270
00:13:18,560 --> 00:13:20,400
And so that's what made the Chiefs so dangerous.

271
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,240
Without some of these guys, they're not nearly as dangerous.

272
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:26,800
And the enemy got the commanding offense great

273
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:28,000
with Sam Powell.

274
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:29,480
And I don't want to even put Sam Powell

275
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:31,580
and Patrick Mahomes in the same breath.

276
00:13:31,580 --> 00:13:35,640
And so the fact that the enemy had those guys rolling,

277
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:37,320
they missed everything.

278
00:13:38,580 --> 00:13:43,260
Maybe we can say one thing about a close game, whatever.

279
00:13:43,260 --> 00:13:46,760
They missed every enemy, terrible.

280
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,620
Every day, every single second of the day,

281
00:13:49,620 --> 00:13:50,960
game is an Airbnb.

282
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:54,060
And I don't know if it's on my convention standpoint,

283
00:13:54,060 --> 00:13:56,200
because the more you play it, the more likely

284
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,740
for a champion from the next to Sam Powell,

285
00:13:58,740 --> 00:14:03,000
he wants to be, I'm allowed to definitely advocate.

286
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,480
I'm allowed to slow, let us have a game.

287
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,440
Now the grand scheme of life, if you want to go for it,

288
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:09,780
it is with this.

289
00:14:09,780 --> 00:14:13,580
But I'm allowed to slow down that same game.

290
00:14:13,580 --> 00:14:17,740
And because of which, that may keep the pages out.

291
00:14:19,180 --> 00:14:22,820
But there's no one right now in E to control

292
00:14:22,820 --> 00:14:24,820
any reason versus you.

293
00:14:24,820 --> 00:14:28,280
If you want to do something insane, you can do it.

294
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:29,760
If you want to sit back in the halls,

295
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,120
back in the halls, tell me something insane,

296
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:33,600
you can do that as well.

297
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:37,000
There's nothing stopping you from just being on the field.

298
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,960
And so I think that's the case that Airbnb

299
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:44,800
and Andy Reid had a time, so Andy Reid's been so creative

300
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,140
and all this stuff, but the animals look like

301
00:14:47,140 --> 00:14:48,480
they're mid-day, we don't need that.

302
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,680
We got the dis, dis, dis, dis, and that's it.

303
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,280
The next day we got the dis, dis, dis, dis, and snap.

304
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:56,040
The next day we got the dis, that, that, that, this.

305
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,520
And next day you got to go all that,

306
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:00,160
what they, all this.

307
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,320
But you got to continue to wear your,

308
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:10,060
your card, your ID card as much as you can possibly.

309
00:15:10,060 --> 00:15:15,060
Dallas absolutely destroyed the Trailers of the Eagles.

310
00:15:15,060 --> 00:15:16,860
Talk about something going on with KC.

311
00:15:16,860 --> 00:15:18,560
Something going on with Phil.

312
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,640
They got absolutely wrecked by the Ascari Wars.

313
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:23,940
They got absolutely wrecked before that.

314
00:15:23,940 --> 00:15:27,840
Something is desperately wrong with the Eagles.

315
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:31,440
Bad, bad defeats back to back, and they have the two contenders

316
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,680
and the Niners and the Cowboys.

317
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:38,680
I mean, the Niners, I said I was physical with them

318
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:40,920
because the Niners are physical with everybody.

319
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:42,920
Everyone loses, but we got that to the Niners.

320
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,120
It was something like, the Niners last year

321
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:48,400
was something like, oh, and 18 or 19,

322
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,160
we were the season with maybe one team on that game.

323
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:54,600
They physically wear me and beat on me so much.

324
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:59,600
It's hard to stand up in the stands.

325
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:04,600
That level of punishment from the Niners.

326
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:07,580
So they went to the game, five-win little sore,

327
00:16:07,580 --> 00:16:10,840
five-win little beat up.

328
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,680
Then they went to Dallas game, and Dallas came out

329
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:14,960
to a good chunk of this.

330
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,360
We're a pretty physical football team in the trails.

331
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,920
They would have dominated the Eagles as well.

332
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,620
The Eagles need Martin, Mark,

333
00:16:22,620 --> 00:16:27,460
whose mark so long was on the line, physical toughness.

334
00:16:27,460 --> 00:16:32,100
Now getting shoved around by the business library.

335
00:16:32,100 --> 00:16:35,440
Hell, yeah, David Carter wanted to do something about him

336
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,380
because he is absolutely set up.

337
00:16:38,380 --> 00:16:40,180
He's frustrated.

338
00:16:40,180 --> 00:16:41,680
He's no loser this year.

339
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:45,340
He had probably five periods out of that one.

340
00:16:45,340 --> 00:16:46,620
He's annoyed.

341
00:16:46,620 --> 00:16:51,620
He's just really, really frustrated.

342
00:16:51,620 --> 00:16:54,360
And I think that has to do with the fact

343
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:58,360
that they absolutely destroyed the Eagles

344
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:00,360
in one speed around that year.

345
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:05,360
I don't know if they're really good roster.

346
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,280
I just don't know if they're steamed up enough

347
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:11,400
to go compete for a title.

348
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:13,240
They're a really great roster.

349
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,980
I just don't think they're steamed up enough right now

350
00:17:15,980 --> 00:17:17,880
to go compete for a title.

351
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:19,480
I really don't believe they are.

352
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:23,280
I believe they are not schematically just there yet

353
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:25,280
to go compete for a title.

354
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:30,300
Reports out of New England stated that Belichick's job

355
00:17:30,300 --> 00:17:34,300
is already over and that the team has already decided

356
00:17:34,300 --> 00:17:36,300
to move on on the mutually-popped ways

357
00:17:36,300 --> 00:17:38,300
of Belichick at the end of the year.

358
00:17:38,300 --> 00:17:42,300
Now my thing was why wait until the end of the year?

359
00:17:42,300 --> 00:17:44,300
Because if you simply do it now,

360
00:17:44,300 --> 00:17:48,320
Belichick's going to go free the rest of the year.

361
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:50,320
And it's not a free agent coaching team.

362
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:53,320
You know, two haven't lost any ones left.

363
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,320
Let's look at the charges.

364
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:58,320
Now I'd say he's supposed to be charged.

365
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,320
Basically, I'd say he should keep Belichick.

366
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,320
But if he's going to move on,

367
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:04,320
you got to make sure the guy replaces him really good.

368
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:06,320
Draw a male, have no head coaching experience.

369
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:09,340
I'd trade whatever Belichick is trading for,

370
00:18:09,340 --> 00:18:11,340
plus a first, plus probably a future second

371
00:18:11,340 --> 00:18:14,340
for Mike Brabley right now.

372
00:18:14,340 --> 00:18:15,340
Brabley was legit.

373
00:18:15,340 --> 00:18:16,340
He's only in New England.

374
00:18:16,340 --> 00:18:18,340
He knows the pace of his way.

375
00:18:18,340 --> 00:18:23,340
He's got a head coaching experience unlike Mr. Pierce

376
00:18:23,340 --> 00:18:25,340
and unlike Gerard Mayo.

377
00:18:25,340 --> 00:18:27,340
Two men out here swallowing around

378
00:18:27,340 --> 00:18:29,360
telling me to face Gerard Mayo.

379
00:18:29,360 --> 00:18:34,360
And so therefore, again, I'd say he's Belichick.

380
00:18:34,360 --> 00:18:35,360
He's going to move on.

381
00:18:35,360 --> 00:18:37,360
He's an experienced guy like Mike Brabley.

382
00:18:37,360 --> 00:18:38,360
He'll take over.

383
00:18:38,360 --> 00:18:40,360
And of course, higher as you know.

384
00:18:40,360 --> 00:18:43,360
And then lastly, Justin Herbert is out,

385
00:18:43,360 --> 00:18:45,360
officially out for the rest of the year.

386
00:18:45,360 --> 00:18:47,380
After following his finger surgery,

387
00:18:47,380 --> 00:18:49,380
he's officially out the rest of the season.

388
00:18:49,380 --> 00:18:52,380
The Chargers this morning season just got worse.

389
00:18:52,380 --> 00:18:56,380
And I wonder if this ironically saved Brandon Thamers' job.

390
00:18:56,380 --> 00:18:58,380
And they were looking awful beforehand,

391
00:18:58,380 --> 00:19:00,380
but I think the rate next year,

392
00:19:00,380 --> 00:19:02,380
he's either not making or breaking the job.

393
00:19:02,380 --> 00:19:04,380
He's got to go out there and play pretty decent.

394
00:19:04,380 --> 00:19:05,380
Might save his job.

395
00:19:05,380 --> 00:19:07,400
If the team packs up the team and goes home,

396
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,400
it may break his job.

397
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:14,400
Or finally solidify to the owner that the Chargers head coach

398
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,400
is an exact.

399
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:19,400
But up next, we're going to talk about NFL Week 15,

400
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:20,400
which is going down.

401
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:49,400
Welcome back into the show.

402
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:53,400
Now we're going to jump into NFL Week 15.

403
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,400
Some very interesting games this weekend, of course.

404
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,400
According to Thursday Night,

405
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:01,400
so Thursday Night Football game is the Battle of Aiden O'Connell

406
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:04,400
versus Easton Stick.

407
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:06,400
No Josh Jacobs for the Raiders tonight.

408
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:09,400
I would take the under on whatever those points is.

409
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:10,400
Take the under.

410
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,400
I take the Chargers to win the game.

411
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,400
Doesn't matter.

412
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,400
So to be honest, it doesn't matter at all.

413
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,400
I would take the under on the points.

414
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:22,400
Make a little easy money tonight.

415
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:26,400
But again, the battle is Easton Stick versus Aiden O'Connell.

416
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:28,400
Again, there's so many back of quarterbacks

417
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,400
running around the league,

418
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,400
including in the first matchup I'm going to talk about,

419
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:35,400
Cincinnati versus Minnesota.

420
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,400
And you see got a little Logan Browning or Jake Browning,

421
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:44,400
my apologies, against the Chargers, the Vikings, excuse me.

422
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:46,400
Just named a new starter.

423
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:49,400
Oh, man, it's upsetting.

424
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:53,400
They had Josh Dobbs there for years.

425
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:57,400
He was the new starter there.

426
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:00,400
Look up on my page.

427
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:02,400
I know I posted about it.

428
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:07,400
The new starter in Minnesota.

429
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:12,400
Man, this is upsetting because,

430
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,400
I said there's a new starter in Minnesota

431
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,400
because it's been changed.

432
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:20,400
The new starter is Nick Mullins.

433
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:26,400
I remember he was going to say, let's go for a few years.

434
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:28,400
He said, let's go for a few years.

435
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,400
Got some trouble around there.

436
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:31,400
Was in Minnesota before.

437
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:33,400
They cut him, brought him back kind of thing.

438
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:37,400
But Nick Mullins is the starting quarterback

439
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,400
for the Minnesota Vikings this week.

440
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,400
So big news out of Minnesota.

441
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:48,400
Nick Mullins draws the start and he goes against Jake Browning,

442
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:50,400
who has been remarkably efficient there.

443
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:52,400
I actually started to compare Jake Browning's numbers

444
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,400
to Joe Burrow's numbers.

445
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,400
He's been pretty remarkably efficient there for Cincinnati.

446
00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:01,400
JIQ quarterback rating looked pretty well.

447
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:05,400
But again, the support of Cass for the Bengals is healthy.

448
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,400
Excuse me.

449
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:12,400
And I speak about that a lot when it comes down to my gripe

450
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,400
with Sam Fran starting quarterback, Bob Purdy.

451
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:17,400
Your supporting Cass is almost so good,

452
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,400
it doesn't matter who's your quarterback.

453
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:22,400
And when you're in a situation like that,

454
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,400
the supporting Cass is insane.

455
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:26,400
Sam Fran is not as good as Cincinnati,

456
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:27,400
but you still have Joe Nixon.

457
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:29,400
You still have T. Higgins.

458
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:31,400
You still have Jamar Chase.

459
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:33,400
You still have Zytaela Callum plays.

460
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,400
O-line is still not great, but it's manageable.

461
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:40,400
And so when you have a situation like that,

462
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:42,400
Jake Browning's coming in and he's just driving the ship.

463
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:44,400
They're not asking him to make the big, you know,

464
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,400
Jamar Chase rest of the corner, put the ball on the outside shoulder.

465
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:50,400
They're not asking him to make that play too many times

466
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,400
so that he did make one against Jackson and Gills.

467
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:55,400
Beautiful throw up the sideline to Jamar for a big touchdown.

468
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:57,400
But for the most part, he's just, you know,

469
00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:01,400
driving the boat and the defense is stepping up, protecting him.

470
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:05,400
And so they are absolutely rallying behind Jake Browning.

471
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:07,400
Obviously, there's no quarterback controversy.

472
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:11,400
You know, it was a weird time where Cooper Rush was looking good for Dallas.

473
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:14,400
And the people were wondering if Cooper Rush is going to take that Prescott's job.

474
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:18,400
And I never entertained it for one second because of this thing called finances.

475
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:24,400
And so that's what's, even if for some reason Jake Browning goes on this run

476
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,400
and gets into the AFC Championship game,

477
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,400
then all of a sudden people are wondering, oh my God,

478
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:30,400
is Jake Browning going to take Joe Burrow's job?

479
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,400
There's this thing called finances.

480
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:35,400
Now, it would put the pressure on Joe Burrow to come back

481
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,400
and maybe get to and win a Super Bowl.

482
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:41,400
But as far as taking Joe Burrow's job, no.

483
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,400
But he's looking good there.

484
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:48,400
But the highlight of this battle isn't the quarterbacks.

485
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:52,400
Coaching wise, it's not even the head coach versus head coach, to be honest.

486
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:58,400
It's not even Zach Taylor versus,

487
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:00,400
I can't think of the Vikings head coach's name right now,

488
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:02,400
but it's not even about the head coaches.

489
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:03,400
It's not about the coordinators.

490
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:05,400
It's about the battles that receive it.

491
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,400
Two of the best receivers in the league, Jamar Chase and Justin Jefferson,

492
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:12,400
of course famously played on the 2019 LSU team together with Joe Burrow,

493
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,400
along with a baby of other NSO players.

494
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:18,400
They are in the discussion for the best receiver in the league,

495
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:20,400
and they're going to play each other.

496
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:23,400
Justin Jefferson was out for a while with an injury,

497
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:25,400
took a big shot to the chest.

498
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:28,400
On Sunday, he's going to play on Saturday.

499
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:30,400
Jamar Chase started off incredibly slow,

500
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:34,400
but that's a partially due to Joe Burrow's calf injury,

501
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:36,400
and then he's picking up and he's rolling.

502
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:40,400
So they're unquestioned two of the top five.

503
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:45,400
A lot of people have them two of the top three, along with Devontae Adams.

504
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:49,400
But they are battling for best receiver in the league.

505
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,400
To me, they're one and two.

506
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:53,400
I have Devontae Adams around three.

507
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:55,400
I have a lot of respect to Mike Evans.

508
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:56,400
I give a lot of respect to Keenan Allen.

509
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,400
I give a lot of respect to Stephon Deeds.

510
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:00,400
I'm sure I'm missing somebody.

511
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:05,400
But Justin Jefferson and Jamar Chase, the two LSU guys,

512
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:07,400
are to me one and two in the league, hands down.

513
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:09,400
They're both going to set the record.

514
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:12,400
For whatever the receiver total dollar for a contract is,

515
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:17,400
they're both going to pass it, I would guess, by at least $5 or $6 million.

516
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:21,400
So those two guys are the best receivers in pro football.

517
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:23,400
It's not, I mean, it's close.

518
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:25,400
Devontae Adams is right there.

519
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:27,400
But those two guys, just a hair bit better.

520
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:29,400
They have a lot of good youth also on their side as well.

521
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:33,400
So that's going to be an interesting matchup to watch who comes out with their backup quarterback.

522
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:36,400
Whether Justin Jefferson and Jamar Chase have a better game.

523
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,400
And if it's one of those better games because of more targets,

524
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:41,400
or just a better game because they play better,

525
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:45,400
kind of thing would be interesting to watch that matchup.

526
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:47,400
No Jack back this week, so I will pick the game.

527
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:49,400
I think Cincinnati comes out with a victory.

528
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:53,400
I do think in the battle, the receivers, I think Jefferson has a better game.

529
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:57,400
But I think that Cincinnati comes out with Joe Mixon,

530
00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:59,400
so a little bit too much for Minnesota to handle.

531
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:02,400
Browns-Loris doing his best to take a chance out of the game.

532
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:06,400
So that'll probably open up the run game a little bit more for Joe Mixon.

533
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:09,400
And they win an ugly close one, 23 to 20.

534
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:14,400
Moving on to our next contest, we have Denver at Detroit.

535
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:19,400
This is a game, admittedly, I've had it circling on my calendar for about two or three weeks.

536
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:23,400
The reason why is Detroit's starting to slide down a little bit.

537
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:27,400
They look a little bit not like Detroit, they look like old Detroit.

538
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:30,400
Not like the Detroit line that comes from the scene.

539
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:35,400
The slide to me is starting to ride around the game right before Thanksgiving.

540
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:38,400
Baltimore knocked all their luster off.

541
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,400
And then of course Thanksgiving versus Jordan Love.

542
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,400
And there's no real cracks in the armor.

543
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,400
It's not like something you can see and go, that's it.

544
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:50,400
It's like that gif of Leonardo DiCaprio in what's called Wall Street,

545
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:54,400
where he sits up and starts snapping like, I found it.

546
00:26:54,400 --> 00:27:01,400
But there is starting to be small kinks in the lines.

547
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:04,400
They got smacked by the Bears last week.

548
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:06,400
2013 in Chicago.

549
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:10,400
And when Chicago's actively trying to secure two top five picks,

550
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:14,400
and you got blown out by Chicago, the Packers put it on you for Thanksgiving.

551
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:20,400
Of course that Ravens destruction in Baltimore mid-early this season,

552
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:23,400
it's just like what's going on in Detroit.

553
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:27,400
We even got a Denver team that started off rough.

554
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:33,400
But that Denver team is making believe that they beat the Chargers 24 to 7 last year.

555
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:40,400
That Denver team is 7 and 6 now after starting off, I believe, 1 and 3.

556
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:42,400
They're 7 and 6 now.

557
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:48,400
I'm sorry, they fell off 1 and 3, because it all turned after that 70-point

558
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:52,400
where the Dolphins had to be nice and not break the points record.

559
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:55,400
70 to 20 over the Brains.

560
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:56,400
Jesus.

561
00:27:56,400 --> 00:28:00,400
But they go out and they beat the Bears, and they lose to the Broncos.

562
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:04,400
So they're starting off 1 and 4.

563
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:09,400
And since then, they're 6 and 2 with what they may possess.

564
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:12,400
So they fell off 1 and 5.

565
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,400
1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

566
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:18,400
They fell off 1 and 5, and since then they're 6 and 1.

567
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:21,400
And they possess ones over the Packers, they beat the Chiefs, they got the Bills,

568
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:25,400
they beat the Vikings, they beat the Browns, they lost to the Texans,

569
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:27,400
and then they beat the Chargers.

570
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:31,400
So since they started off 1 and 5, they're 6 and 1 over their last 7.

571
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:33,400
One of the hottest teams in the league.

572
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:34,400
The Lions are struggling.

573
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:35,400
So this was a game again.

574
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:39,400
People would have started for three weeks ago, and if I had to say three,

575
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:40,400
we fought with games.

576
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:42,400
You're probably looking at Detroit-Denver.

577
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:44,400
Me and D-Denver was in the middle of that win streak.

578
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:45,400
Detroit was playing all right.

579
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:46,400
Maybe it was a circle game.

580
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:50,400
But this is kind of one of those games where Sean Payne did not win the game.

581
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:54,400
It was a team of 8 and 6, and they're firmly in the wild card picture.

582
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:58,400
I mean, they have a legitimate chance to not only be 7, but be 6 or 5.

583
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:03,400
And you have a team in Detroit that went from a division winner

584
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:06,400
to you might not win your own division,

585
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:08,400
which could put you in jeopardy without you making the playoffs.

586
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:11,400
I mean, just imagine that far three weeks ago.

587
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:13,400
Detroit was ahead in the division.

588
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:19,400
By a couple of games, Denver was still staring up at a 6 or 5 loss at that point.

589
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:20,400
You know, they were a 4-5 football team.

590
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:25,400
Detroit was looking at, you know, or a 5-5 football team, whatever.

591
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:28,400
Detroit was looking at cruising into the playoffs.

592
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:31,400
The division won them for the first time in X amount of years.

593
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:33,400
The All-East Highballs in Detroit.

594
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:36,400
Denver was just trying to get the head above water.

595
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:40,400
And now you're looking at a situation where Denver come out of this week 8 and 6

596
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:41,400
with all the momentum in the world.

597
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:44,400
Sean Payne was like a freaking genius, by the way,

598
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:48,400
with all the slander he gave Nathaniel Hackett.

599
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:51,400
Potentially unwarranted, potentially inappropriate, I say.

600
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:52,400
It was warranted.

601
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:58,400
Potentially inappropriate slander that was given to Nathaniel Hackett.

602
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:01,400
Good of him happening to head coach Charlie, like Sean Payne said,

603
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:04,400
he had his CBS hat on as opposed to his coaching hat.

604
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:10,400
But he ripped into Nathaniel Hackett about the coaching and the process and the aura

605
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:19,400
and everything else about what's happening in Denver.

606
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:22,400
And again, you saw about 1-5 and everyone was saying,

607
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:23,400
Sean Payne is a fucking idiot.

608
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:26,400
He looks like he just talked about Nathaniel Hackett, look what he's doing.

609
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:29,400
And since then, like I said, they're 6-1.

610
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:32,400
I'm on the hottest team, if not the hottest team in football,

611
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:34,400
even though they're not really talked about that way.

612
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:38,400
So because of that, I've got the Denver Broncos keeping their streak going.

613
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:40,400
They go into Detroit and they handle Detroit.

614
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:45,400
They figure that defense out, the offense, Russell Wilson's playing pretty well.

615
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:50,400
And I think they go in there and they handle Detroit 27-13.

616
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:53,400
I just don't think that Detroit right now is in a good spot.

617
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:56,400
They're going to reset, I don't know if they'll reset the beat,

618
00:30:56,400 --> 00:31:01,400
but Denver's on rolling and they go in there and take about 27-13.

619
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:03,400
The Chiefs at the Patriots.

620
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:08,400
Now, this is a game that's intriguing for a variety of reasons.

621
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:10,400
Now, I'm a Patriots fan.

622
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:12,400
Admittedly, I'm rooting for us to lose. Why?

623
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:14,400
Currently, we possess the second overall draft pick.

624
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:16,400
Now with three wins, we're not getting number one.

625
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:19,400
I think Carolina won't go to the game the rest of the season.

626
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:23,400
The fact that Houston let them beat them is mind-boggling.

627
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:27,400
Keeping them at that game might end up costing Houston either valuable seeding

628
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:31,400
or a playoff spot in general, especially if CJ Stroud's out with a concussion.

629
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:34,400
That might be the game that twists the whole Texan season around

630
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:39,400
and keeps them out of the playoffs because they don't possess the first time pick this year.

631
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:42,400
They traded it in order to get Will Anderson.

632
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:47,400
But regardless, the Patriots are sitting number two.

633
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:51,400
Now, I know we're not making the playoffs. We're actually eliminated from the playoffs.

634
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:55,400
What's the only reason I'm supposed to win any games the rest of this season?

635
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:56,400
There isn't.

636
00:31:56,400 --> 00:32:00,400
Belichick shouldn't have to win games to prove he's a job.

637
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:02,400
Again, there's the reports about he's already gone.

638
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:05,400
If that's the case, there's definitely no reason to win

639
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:10,400
because if I'm handing a new coach a job, I want to have a culture night.

640
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:13,400
I want to have a good culture and a really good chance at drafts made.

641
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:18,400
J.J. Daniels, potentially Caleb Williams if Chicago talks themselves out of Caleb Williams,

642
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:23,400
which we've seen crazier in the draft.

643
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:29,400
And so I'm not rooting for the Patriots to win this game.

644
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:32,400
However, the Patriots have three wins.

645
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:37,400
They come over the Dolphins, the Bills, and the Spiels.

646
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:42,400
I'm sorry, the Jets, the Bills, and the Spiels.

647
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:45,400
Two of those three franchises are in the playoffs.

648
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:47,400
And the Jets have an outside chance.

649
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:49,400
All three teams are in the playoffs.

650
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:52,400
They've lost games. They've lost games to bad teams.

651
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:53,400
But they have position.

652
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:56,400
Wins over the Jets, the Bills, and the Steelers.

653
00:32:56,400 --> 00:33:00,400
There's something about this Patriots team when they play better opponents.

654
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:03,400
When they play a team, they play up a little bit for those better teams.

655
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:05,400
Now, that certain team is boat racing.

656
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:06,400
Calabasas is boat racing.

657
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:08,400
Saints is boat racing.

658
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:13,400
But for the most part, if they lost, they lose close, and they've taken out some good teams.

659
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:17,400
And there's something wrong with Kansas City.

660
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:20,400
I think it's Airbnb.

661
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:23,400
Airbnb, like I said with the commandos, I forgot about my last seven.

662
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:25,400
I won't dive into it again.

663
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:28,400
But there's something wrong with Kansas City.

664
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:33,400
The Patriots, my homes, flipped out after the Caderia-Tony Alcides call,

665
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:36,400
which turns out to be a great call.

666
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:51,400
Now, now, there has been multiple, and I mean multiple, angles and cheese fans.

667
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:52,400
There's multiple angles and cheese fans online.

668
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:55,400
Cool. There's multiple, a multitude of cheese fans online.

669
00:33:55,400 --> 00:34:03,400
That's like the screenshotting of the receivers in the exact same alignment, not being called for offside.

670
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:06,400
And saying like, well, why this offside? I was offside.

671
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:11,400
They're complaining up in arms, whatever.

672
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:14,400
And I always find complaining post-camp interesting.

673
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:22,400
Like the decision can be undone somehow or overturned or changed or anything of that sort, whatever.

674
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:29,400
And so, you know, you have the Caderia-Tony, incident number 1,000, it feels like as a cheese.

675
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:33,400
You still have no reliable deep threat.

676
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:36,400
I mean, Travis Kelsey has resolved to catching the foul ball,

677
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:40,400
having good yards, throwing it back to Caderia's Tony for touchdown.

678
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:43,400
Like it worked. It didn't count, but it worked.

679
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:47,400
Like it's just that's what the cheese offense is boiled down into.

680
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:53,400
And I think Bill Belichick, actually I know, I'm a Patriots fan, I've watched him my whole life.

681
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:57,400
Bill Belichick, when there's no deep threat, not really.

682
00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:00,400
Miles Walker's right, that's probably going to drop it.

683
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:05,400
Sky Moore and Caderia-Tony are guarding the 1-on-1, and Travis Kelsey is not from this planet.

684
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:09,400
So when there's no legitimate deep threat, it's all raw speed.

685
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:13,400
It could mean going harm is on our yards, but if there's no Tyree Hill to account for,

686
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:17,400
I can clamp down and throw all kinds of trap coverages and weird coverages at you because

687
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:21,400
there's no one to burn through, there's no one just to run past me.

688
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:26,400
And with that being said, I think the Patriots get the upset here.

689
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:34,400
And it would blow my absolute mind with frustration because it's the last thing I want.

690
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:42,400
However, it just feels like Belichick's got one last AHH in the tank.

691
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:47,400
And if we win the game, I think we go from like second to third or fourth.

692
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:52,400
But I think Belichick has one more, like I can still do this in him.

693
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:57,400
And I think beating the Chiefs kind of ugly, now the Chiefs have a legitimate defense,

694
00:35:57,400 --> 00:36:05,400
but beating the Chiefs kind of ugly, 20-17 would be a AHH moment that Belichick has.

695
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:07,400
I can still do this.

696
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:14,400
So whether that incites the Trades to another team, whether that incites the Patriots to do the last shit with contract, whatever.

697
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:19,400
But I think that the Patriots get this game 20-17.

698
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:28,400
Baltimore at Jacksonville, that's an interesting one for a lot of different reasons.

699
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:30,400
Sure, Belonger is still bad, like he's in country.

700
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:36,400
Baltimore is one of those teams, one of those franchises that they've been destroying the teams.

701
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:41,400
As Detroit, who is the As, is the Chargers.

702
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:43,400
Went in there and got absolutely wrecked on the Rams.

703
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:45,400
Suddenly went in there and got absolutely destroyed.

704
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:50,400
It was like two good teams back to back. Got absolutely manhandled by Baltimore.

705
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:53,400
Now, they're not as dominant as they were when they met.

706
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:55,400
They were considered one of the best teams in the league.

707
00:36:55,400 --> 00:37:00,400
I think San Fran has to me firmly taken that mantle as the best team in the league.

708
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:04,400
But that Baltimore team is real.

709
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:09,400
Now, they have to go down, they have to go down to Jacksonville, travel on as they do long.

710
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:11,400
We'll be ready to go.

711
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:14,400
It'd be a high down there, as close to what it is in Baltimore.

712
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:16,400
It's a team for sure with the humidity.

713
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:18,400
I know that affects some of the game.

714
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:21,400
I actually think Jacksonville gets the win here.

715
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:27,400
And that's just, and the reason why it's at home for Jacksonville, that humidity is different.

716
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:29,400
That temperature could both say eight.

717
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:34,400
The humidity in Jacksonville is different than the humidity in Baltimore.

718
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:38,400
We were talking Florida to Maryland.

719
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:42,400
As far as what is happening.

720
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:45,400
Actually, I'll look up the weather right now.

721
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:53,400
So Jacksonville Sunday is projected a high of 69 with an 85% chance of rain.

722
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:57,400
Which to me lends itself to Baltimore.

723
00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:01,400
As opposed to Baltimore, it's 58 degrees, also 85% chance of rain.

724
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:06,400
So I would blame myself in this kind of game.

725
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:09,400
What is not, I'm sorry, what is not Jacksonville?

726
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:11,400
Because Jacksonville run gets more downhill.

727
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:13,400
Baltimore is downhill with a catch.

728
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:15,400
It's out of ball handling.

729
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:17,400
I don't think it's as good as the Delevingne game.

730
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:19,400
I don't think it's as good as the Flowers game.

731
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:23,400
You need those guys to run those quick routes in the rain, a slop field.

732
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:24,400
It's not a good idea for them.

733
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:26,400
Straight line of speed, straight line of running.

734
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:28,400
That's when the game is good for those guys.

735
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:32,400
I think Jacksonville here creates a lot of the pressure.

736
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:34,400
It creates a lot of the struggle here.

737
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:37,400
As long as you have a team that applies more of the pressure than another,

738
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:41,400
it really affects whoever you're getting applied to.

739
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:44,400
It's just some general pressure burst pipes.

740
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:46,400
It also creates dive-ins.

741
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:50,400
And I think that Baltimore here is going to burst a little bit.

742
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:51,400
They're riding high.

743
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:54,400
But offensively something's still off with them.

744
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:58,400
And I think that the sloppy conditions are going to affect their offense even more.

745
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:01,400
I think Jacksonville is quick side of victory here at 27-24.

746
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:07,400
And the game is going to be very tight late in the game coming down to who has the ball last.

747
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:10,400
Now I'm in a couple of quick hitters.

748
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:18,400
Yoneke Ngokewe of the Chicago Bears and Grandel Pidell of the Cleveland Browns head to injury reserve.

749
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:21,400
And Dallas at Buffalo is my most interesting game of the week.

750
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:22,400
Two interesting offenses.

751
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:25,400
Joe Brady has changed the way the Buffalo does.

752
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:26,400
Offensive looks a little bit.

753
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:28,400
Josh Allen seems a lot more comfortable.

754
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:31,400
Fills a lot more free flowing off of the defenses picked up.

755
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:38,400
So maybe there's some battle of the minds between Sean McDonough slash Martin Dale.

756
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:41,400
And former office player, King Dorsey.

757
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:44,400
Play calling could be something that affects the defense.

758
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:47,400
And it's just that sort of thing could be going on.

759
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:51,400
But kudos to the Bills for getting it together.

760
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:54,400
And of course, Dallas coming off a very dominant game against Philly.

761
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:56,400
Maybe you look at it in the most of the letdown.

762
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:58,400
So that is my highlight game of the week.

763
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:00,400
I've got the Bills winning the game.

764
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:04,400
Dallas doesn't bounce back from their emotional high.

765
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:07,400
And they lose a game they shouldn't lose.

766
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:14,400
But they lose on the road at Buffalo 27 to 20.

767
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:15,400
What up next?

768
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:27,400
We're going to shift to the NBA.

769
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:50,400
Welcome back into the show.

770
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:52,400
And I'm going to talk about the NBA.

771
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:54,400
We don't talk about the NBA a lot on this show.

772
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:58,400
It's a pretty NFL heavy, football heavy show in general.

773
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:01,400
But with the college boys entering their postseason.

774
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:04,400
Shout out to Jaden Danforth and the Heisman.

775
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:07,400
We're going to have a lot of bowl games now.

776
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:11,400
We'll pretty much put the answer to the player on the back burner.

777
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:12,400
At least for a couple of weeks.

778
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:15,400
Because of course, when the New Year's six bowls go down,

779
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:20,400
we will definitely be all over those.

780
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:25,400
Of course, New Year's they have the cotton bowl, orange and sugar,

781
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:27,400
and fiesta and the playoff games.

782
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:29,400
And of course, later, the championship games.

783
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:31,400
We'll be all over the college football then.

784
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:33,400
We're going to put them on the back burner for now.

785
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:38,400
So because of which, the NBA, which now is almost at the start,

786
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:40,400
at the unofficial start of the season.

787
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:42,400
A lot of fans, I know a few of them,

788
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:44,400
say they don't watch the NBA until January.

789
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:47,400
Or the unofficial start date is Christmas.

790
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:50,400
I know several people, myself included,

791
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:53,400
that wants the NBA to get out of the NFL's window of time.

792
00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:55,400
Like we get it, the playoffs, we understand.

793
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:57,400
But if you're going to be in the NBA until the end of the season,

794
00:41:57,400 --> 00:41:59,400
and you're not going to avoid the Olympics,

795
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:01,400
the only problem is the Olympics.

796
00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:03,400
But that's a problem every four years.

797
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:04,400
You know what I'm saying?

798
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:05,400
Or the World Championships.

799
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:07,400
It's a problem every four years.

800
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:11,400
Put All-Star Break Well, while it's still the end of the season.

801
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:13,400
Okay, well, anyway, we'll get to that later.

802
00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:15,400
But the problem is the international competitions

803
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:17,400
will fall during the season.

804
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:18,400
That's the problem they have,

805
00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:21,400
that's the Olympic or World Championship break in the season.

806
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:24,400
Okay, get out of the NFL window entirely.

807
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:26,400
Start on Christmas.

808
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:29,400
Play until August.

809
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:33,400
Have the NBA Championship somewhere late August.

810
00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:35,400
You still have your eight-month season.

811
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:37,400
Or even if it's early September,

812
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:39,400
you still have your eight-month season.

813
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:41,400
You're completely out of the way of the NFL

814
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:44,400
and your regular season during the dog days.

815
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:46,400
Because the NFL ends in February.

816
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:49,400
So from February into February,

817
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:53,400
all the way until late August,

818
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:54,400
you're unopposed.

819
00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:56,400
I mean, there's baseball,

820
00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:58,400
but baseball and basketball fans usually don't mix.

821
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:00,400
Usually basketball and football fans mix.

822
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:02,400
Baseball and basketball fans all mix.

823
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:08,400
So you're running unopposed from February 8th

824
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:10,400
to September 1st.

825
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:12,400
You're just running unopposed.

826
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:14,400
And so I don't know why the NBA doesn't do that.

827
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:16,400
They haven't done it.

828
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:18,400
Probably won't do it.

829
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:21,400
Because the finals in June was such a historic NBA tradition.

830
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:23,400
But anyway.

831
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:26,400
So as soon as we start the NBA,

832
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:28,400
we're going to run through the standings.

833
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:30,400
So each team is going to play.

834
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:32,400
Today will be the automatic qualifiers for the playoffs.

835
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:38,400
Celtics, Bucks, Magic, 76ers, Pacers, Heat.

836
00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:41,400
And then the play-in tournament will feature Nicks versus Nets,

837
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:44,400
which will be insane in New York City,

838
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:46,400
especially because it'll be in the Garden.

839
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:49,400
And then Cavs of Raptors,

840
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:52,400
which is interesting because the Raptors have several pieces,

841
00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:56,400
such as Pascal, Siakam, O.G., and Inobi.

842
00:43:56,400 --> 00:44:01,400
A lot of the league is looking for...

843
00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:08,400
A lot of the league is looking for long-wing defenders, two-way guys.

844
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:13,400
And I think that Pascal and O.G. will be two of the guys that they will be looking at.

845
00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:18,400
Toronto, Nasai Uji has a strategy of not trading these guys.

846
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:21,400
Fred Van Dleet left for nothing.

847
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:26,400
We could have got probably a first-round pick or two for Fred Van Dleet.

848
00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:29,400
O.G. and Inobi, Pascal, Siakam, they're...

849
00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:35,400
Once it's past February, there's a good chance those guys walk for nothing.

850
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:37,400
So interesting strategy in Toronto,

851
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:41,400
but all in all, Toronto's going to be the 10th seed.

852
00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:51,400
And then out west, the automatic qualifiers are Minnesota, Oklahoma City, Dallas, Denver, the Lakers, and Sacramento.

853
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:57,400
Then the play-in tournament, it would be Rockets, Clippers, Helikens, and Suns,

854
00:44:57,400 --> 00:44:59,400
which is interesting seeing the Suns solo.

855
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:01,400
They can't get that big three on the floor.

856
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:05,400
And then the one time they got the big three on the floor, they lost to the Nets.

857
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:10,400
So basically a quarter of the way in, their big three has never put the NBA game together.

858
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:16,400
Now again, they ultimately fix that last night for the first time.

859
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:23,400
They all come together, and they end up ultimately suffering a loss to the Brooklyn Nets,

860
00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:25,400
but they all scored the ball well.

861
00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:29,400
Bradley Bill was a little inefficient, but they're offensively not a good problem.

862
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:31,400
They're ace is going to lie in defense.

863
00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:37,400
The use of Nerkish trade was very shrewd, not getting Nerkish in the Deandre Aiden package.

864
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:41,400
Again, a very, very shrewd move to have them on inside.

865
00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:44,400
I don't think they have enough defenders. They just don't.

866
00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:50,400
Brian Wilhoer put out an article a couple days ago regarding what each championship contender needs.

867
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:53,400
Shout out to him including the Pelicans. I appreciate that.

868
00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:59,400
But the defending Suns need was just defense. They just need people who play defense.

869
00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:03,400
They have the offense. Nerkish against Leroy. Of course KD, Booker, and Beal.

870
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:10,400
You have the offense. You need people to defend. Long-range defenders is what they need.

871
00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:12,400
They almost need to make a trip to the Lakers.

872
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:21,400
The Lakers get some of that offense, some of that shooting, and the Suns in turn pick up like touring in front of Cam Redditch.

873
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:24,400
They just need people who play defense.

874
00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:28,400
And so that is just going on. Phoenix, various.

875
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:30,400
People that are shocking me in the standings.

876
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:34,400
I think Orlando being third. I mean they were winning basketball. Orlando was third.

877
00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:38,400
The Pacers are fifth. I know they were doing well in the season tournament.

878
00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:42,400
They were like 6-0 in the tournament before getting smacked in the finals game.

879
00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:45,400
But the Pacers being fifth.

880
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:51,400
Simple as I know about Oklahoma City being second. Dallas is third.

881
00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:54,400
So that's kind of a shock right now.

882
00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:58,400
Like I said, the Suns being tenth. That's going to do the injuries.

883
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:02,400
The Rockets are falling back down to earth as well.

884
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:10,400
But of course the big news in the NBA, the news that made all the international sports shows.

885
00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:13,400
Oh yeah, shows in general.

886
00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:16,400
Jermon Green's latest incident.

887
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:19,400
This time with a roundhouse punch.

888
00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:22,400
It's kind of a tippy that beat slap. It's slap.

889
00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:24,400
It's Yusef Nerkic.

890
00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:26,400
Oh right, not the one we were just talking about.

891
00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:30,400
Yusef Nerkic of the Phoenix Suns.

892
00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:34,400
I mean this is getting out of hand.

893
00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:38,400
I want the labor. All of the incidents.

894
00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:41,400
I want to pick apart every single one.

895
00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:42,400
Why this is wrong.

896
00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:50,400
Let me know about the man private park region spree that he went on.

897
00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:53,400
There's Rudy LeBron and Steven Adams.

898
00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:57,400
There's the incident with Jordan Poole before last season.

899
00:47:57,400 --> 00:48:00,400
There's Chokin, Aruj and Gobert.

900
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:02,400
There is the hit of Yusef Nerkic.

901
00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:05,400
There's the stomping of Demons and Cibonas.

902
00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:10,400
I mean he's got four major incidents within 15 months.

903
00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:15,400
This is the kind of thing that people begin to worry about if something's going on at home.

904
00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:20,400
Because, or his personal life. And it's like dude there's no reason.

905
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:23,400
I mean there's the tackle.

906
00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:27,400
One of the guys got involved and he ran all of them and tackled the guy.

907
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:35,400
I mean it's just, it's one of those things where you begin to wonder is something going on in his home.

908
00:48:35,400 --> 00:48:38,400
Is his home life, personal life, whatever thrown off.

909
00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:41,400
And he's just reacting the only way he knows how to react.

910
00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:46,400
He gets some Saginaw, you know the way Darvin Hale talks about Saginaw, Sag Nasty.

911
00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:51,400
It's a rough and tough place. Maybe he just respond to them only you know how.

912
00:48:51,400 --> 00:48:54,400
But again that's the kind of stuff man.

913
00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:57,400
I'm glad the NBA didn't put a number on it.

914
00:48:57,400 --> 00:49:01,400
And the NBA came down and suspended them indefinitely.

915
00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:03,400
They kind of did what they did with John Moran.

916
00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:08,400
John Moran got 25 games plus requirements.

917
00:49:08,400 --> 00:49:14,400
So, 25 games excuse me, continued that he needs certain requirements, certain benchmarks.

918
00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:18,400
Jeremiah Green died indefinitely.

919
00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:21,400
And his suspension will end once he meets those requirements and benchmarks.

920
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:24,400
So, if he doesn't meet them all season, he's out all season.

921
00:49:24,400 --> 00:49:26,400
If he meets them in 10 games, he's back in 10 games.

922
00:49:26,400 --> 00:49:29,400
You know there's one of those things where Joe DuMarr spoke about it.

923
00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:33,400
He didn't want the suspension to overshadow the act.

924
00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:36,400
So he didn't want to say, Jeremiah suspended for the rest of the year.

925
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:41,400
And then all of the story talk about the suspension rather than the act.

926
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:44,400
And what they're getting out of the game.

927
00:49:44,400 --> 00:49:47,400
So, I think the indefinite suspension was a good idea.

928
00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:55,400
I don't want to pursue especially because it's hinged and contingent on the fact that he has certain requirements.

929
00:49:55,400 --> 00:50:03,400
Probably anger management, some other things going on with him in order for him to come back into the league.

930
00:50:03,400 --> 00:50:09,400
His spend without pay, he's getting, he misses approximately $150,000.

931
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:17,400
And the Warriors are already in a bad spot on the court wise because Clay Thompson has not even made really any progress.

932
00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:20,400
So, it's a contract extension or a new deal with the Warriors.

933
00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:23,400
So, this really could be the last run for those of the Warriors.

934
00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:27,400
He's got Draymond Green who they just resigned for years, $100 million.

935
00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:29,400
Probably regret it.

936
00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:36,400
You got Clay Thompson last year if he's a deal, who knows when number he looks up or when number he looks down is disrespectful.

937
00:50:36,400 --> 00:50:43,400
You already moved off Jordan Poole, Kaninga and Moody are ready to get trade chips.

938
00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:45,400
Chris Paul where you brought in Darley Inger.

939
00:50:45,400 --> 00:50:49,400
Man, it's just, I don't know, that was walked away.

940
00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:52,400
I mean, the Warriors as we knew them are over.

941
00:50:52,400 --> 00:50:58,400
So, now it's just how bad of a fall the Steph Curry experienced while he's on the court.

942
00:50:58,400 --> 00:51:01,400
I mean, that's to be honest what's going on here.

943
00:51:01,400 --> 00:51:03,400
But, you know, he's speaking to Draymond Green.

944
00:51:03,400 --> 00:51:05,400
I think he needs to get some help.

945
00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:07,400
I think something's going on with him personally.

946
00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:09,400
And it's being expressed in the basketball court.

947
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:11,400
But this has got to stop, man.

948
00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:19,400
So, within 18 months you have post, you have punching Jordan, knocking out Jordan Poole, choking him with something, the monsters of the Warriors chest,

949
00:51:19,400 --> 00:51:22,400
punching Rudy Gobert and then hitting Deucef Nerch.

950
00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:24,400
So, this has got to stop.

951
00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:26,400
This is a horrible look for the NBA.

952
00:51:26,400 --> 00:51:32,400
He's putting the NBA on a lot of channels that doesn't cover basketball for non-basketball reasons,

953
00:51:32,400 --> 00:51:37,400
which is the worst thing Adam Silver could possibly want.

954
00:51:37,400 --> 00:51:40,400
So, hopefully they get that rectified and taken care of.

955
00:51:42,400 --> 00:51:49,400
Giannis with the game of his life, scoring 64 points, adding in 14 rounds,

956
00:51:49,400 --> 00:51:56,400
ended it with an incredibly synthetic slam and for about 20, 30 minutes no one cared.

957
00:51:56,400 --> 00:52:05,400
Because apparently a Pacers assistant coach came and got the game ball from the official

958
00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:08,400
with the intent of giving it to Oswech Shibway.

959
00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:14,400
Oswech Shibway was a pretty dominant defender, rebounder at Kentucky.

960
00:52:14,400 --> 00:52:17,400
He's now made his way into Indiana, getting the guys for his points.

961
00:52:17,400 --> 00:52:22,400
Well, first point last night, he made a free throw.

962
00:52:22,400 --> 00:52:30,400
So, the Indiana spaffer, his assistant coach, went and got the ball from the ref with the intent of giving it to Mr. Shibway.

963
00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:37,400
Well, Giannis wanted the ball because Giannis went for 64, adding in 14 rounds.

964
00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:39,400
So, Giannis wanted the ball.

965
00:52:39,400 --> 00:52:45,400
When Giannis found out the ball was already taken, he charges towards the Pacers locker room

966
00:52:45,400 --> 00:52:50,400
and is trying to get in the locker room in order to get the ball back.

967
00:52:50,400 --> 00:52:58,400
They ended up, you know, miles turned and told him to get the ball, which of course only incites him further.

968
00:52:58,400 --> 00:53:05,400
It was a whole fiasco, about 15, 20 minutes, and then he finally bucks security,

969
00:53:05,400 --> 00:53:08,400
goes into the locker room and gets the ball.

970
00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:16,400
Mark Cuban played in on his side, he said that he would rather the ref get the ball because of a big number like that.

971
00:53:16,400 --> 00:53:24,400
He would have the team sign the stat sheet and then frame it and give it to Giannis for his big-time performance.

972
00:53:24,400 --> 00:53:28,400
So, I think that Indiana's wrong here.

973
00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:34,400
Come on, man. Like, Oswech Shibway's first point is not in comparison to Giannis scoring for 64.

974
00:53:34,400 --> 00:53:38,400
Oswech said he ran and took the ball away from Giannis.

975
00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:42,400
It's a very, to me, messed up situation.

976
00:53:44,400 --> 00:53:48,400
Alright, so let's address something.

977
00:53:48,400 --> 00:53:50,400
Actually, no, we're gonna come back, we're gonna do that last.

978
00:53:50,400 --> 00:53:54,400
I feel like we're gonna take personal friends to last. We're gonna do that last.

979
00:53:54,400 --> 00:54:01,400
Anthony Davis from the Bron looking like one of the best one-two-deers in the league.

980
00:54:01,400 --> 00:54:06,400
Anthony Davis is dominating, of course, in the final 41-20.

981
00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:10,400
He was dominating against Dallas, as well as the Camara victory.

982
00:54:10,400 --> 00:54:13,400
And then him and Wendley Miyama had a battle last night.

983
00:54:13,400 --> 00:54:16,400
And San Antonio, the Bron change, set out.

984
00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:21,400
And so, Victor and Anthony Davis had a battle. They dumped over each other, they blocked each other's shots.

985
00:54:21,400 --> 00:54:23,400
You know, they both made some complaints.

986
00:54:23,400 --> 00:54:27,400
Wendley knocked down a couple of threes late to keep it more interesting than it should be.

987
00:54:27,400 --> 00:54:30,400
Anthony Davis is dominating, a little friend to the floor.

988
00:54:30,400 --> 00:54:33,400
I mean, he got that free throw thing, but I'm sure he'll get it.

989
00:54:33,400 --> 00:54:37,400
It was a wonderful show between Wendley and AD.

990
00:54:37,400 --> 00:54:44,400
But AD and LeBron, again, look like one of the best one-two-duos in basketball.

991
00:54:44,400 --> 00:54:49,400
AD has been down a number of fans, and he's playing through injury.

992
00:54:49,400 --> 00:54:53,400
He has like a ductured injury, messing with his hip.

993
00:54:53,400 --> 00:54:57,400
And he is playing through it, and playing incredibly well through it.

994
00:54:57,400 --> 00:55:03,400
LeBron, he's aging in terms of his vertical. That's about all you see as far as the client.

995
00:55:03,400 --> 00:55:06,400
I mean, he's still barreling on the lane dunking.

996
00:55:06,400 --> 00:55:08,400
People still getting out of his way.

997
00:55:08,400 --> 00:55:11,400
He's still big time off jamming.

998
00:55:11,400 --> 00:55:13,400
He's still chasing put down for chase down.

999
00:55:13,400 --> 00:55:16,400
It's like, man, he jumps a little bit less high.

1000
00:55:16,400 --> 00:55:22,400
And in certain situations, old him could have caught somebody in a chase down that knew him's not trying.

1001
00:55:22,400 --> 00:55:24,400
He's got a little more cost to his energy.

1002
00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:28,400
But that's it, man. LeBron is real right now.

1003
00:55:28,400 --> 00:55:30,400
At 39, he's over.

1004
00:55:30,400 --> 00:55:32,400
He's got to be in the NBA discussion.

1005
00:55:32,400 --> 00:55:36,400
He's top six at the NBA at the worst.

1006
00:55:36,400 --> 00:55:39,400
He's better than 99% of the league.

1007
00:55:39,400 --> 00:55:46,400
It's just, it's insane watching him do what he does at his age.

1008
00:55:46,400 --> 00:55:49,400
We spoke about Rick D'Alemagnama earlier.

1009
00:55:49,400 --> 00:55:50,400
Dude's ridiculous.

1010
00:55:50,400 --> 00:55:58,400
Like what he's doing, he's doing stuff, especially since they moved him to center, that reasonably shouldn't be possible.

1011
00:55:58,400 --> 00:56:02,400
That reasonably, it doesn't make sense.

1012
00:56:02,400 --> 00:56:05,400
He's got 20 and 20.

1013
00:56:05,400 --> 00:56:09,400
He went at him at the neighbor side, a 30 point double double.

1014
00:56:09,400 --> 00:56:14,400
He is absolutely, again, ridiculous on both sides of the ball.

1015
00:56:14,400 --> 00:56:17,400
He'll block a shot, they go catch a lob, block another one.

1016
00:56:17,400 --> 00:56:20,400
Now he's looking at a three and he's drilling all over the place.

1017
00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:23,400
It's just, he's an alien dude.

1018
00:56:23,400 --> 00:56:26,400
Like LeBron Carpenter, alien dude's an alien.

1019
00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:38,400
Like that big, that skill, that young is a very, very insane combination just to keep your eye on it.

1020
00:56:38,400 --> 00:56:40,400
Because it doesn't make sense.

1021
00:56:40,400 --> 00:56:41,400
Nothing about that makes sense.

1022
00:56:41,400 --> 00:56:44,400
Your brain doesn't accept that.

1023
00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:47,400
But it is happening in front of you.

1024
00:56:47,400 --> 00:56:52,400
Victor Wimminyama, he dunked against the Rockets and then when the camera turned,

1025
00:56:52,400 --> 00:56:56,400
Fred Vans Lee looked like an eighth grader cosplaying a college player.

1026
00:56:56,400 --> 00:56:58,400
Like cosplaying an adult.

1027
00:56:58,400 --> 00:57:01,400
He looked that small next to Victor Wimminyama.

1028
00:57:01,400 --> 00:57:03,400
And it's just, I mean, he's real.

1029
00:57:03,400 --> 00:57:05,400
He's all about the hype.

1030
00:57:05,400 --> 00:57:06,400
He is incredibly real.

1031
00:57:06,400 --> 00:57:08,400
The Spurs have lost like 16 straight games.

1032
00:57:08,400 --> 00:57:10,400
Not as bad as Piston lost 21.

1033
00:57:10,400 --> 00:57:12,400
The Spurs have lost like 16 straight games.

1034
00:57:12,400 --> 00:57:13,400
But it ain't Victor's fault.

1035
00:57:13,400 --> 00:57:16,400
He's out there doing the best he absolutely can.

1036
00:57:16,400 --> 00:57:19,400
And he's just battling his tail off.

1037
00:57:19,400 --> 00:57:20,400
I mean, I know he's not used to it.

1038
00:57:20,400 --> 00:57:27,400
He's probably going a little stir crazy with the losing.

1039
00:57:27,400 --> 00:57:32,400
But he is absolutely battling out there every single night.

1040
00:57:32,400 --> 00:57:34,400
Popovich has to be encouraged.

1041
00:57:34,400 --> 00:57:42,400
Wimminyama's numbers are actually, Wins, losses, 16s, and all that.

1042
00:57:42,400 --> 00:57:50,400
His losses are a little bit more, but his rebounding and squandering is a little bit higher than LeBron James, in 03.

1043
00:57:50,400 --> 00:57:54,400
So for those who slander Wimminyama, LeBron's on the same path.

1044
00:57:54,400 --> 00:57:56,400
LeBron's a rookie of the year.

1045
00:57:56,400 --> 00:58:00,400
I think Wimminyama does as well, regardless of his team's record.

1046
00:58:00,400 --> 00:58:05,400
But lastly, on the NBA, and this is what I want to talk about.

1047
00:58:05,400 --> 00:58:16,400
The NBA, sorry, the New Orleans Pelicans were playing really well.

1048
00:58:16,400 --> 00:58:19,400
They had won a few games in a row.

1049
00:58:19,400 --> 00:58:23,400
Pelicans fans were looking good.

1050
00:58:23,400 --> 00:58:24,400
They were playing well.

1051
00:58:24,400 --> 00:58:28,400
Zion was 25, 30 a night, 62% shooting.

1052
00:58:28,400 --> 00:58:30,400
They're talking about how crazy he efficiently was.

1053
00:58:30,400 --> 00:58:35,400
Leeds never done, or hadn't been done in so long.

1054
00:58:35,400 --> 00:58:39,400
He had the most points per game with the highest percentage in the history.

1055
00:58:39,400 --> 00:58:41,400
It was insane.

1056
00:58:41,400 --> 00:58:45,400
It was pretty much on what you want to hear about your superstar player.

1057
00:58:45,400 --> 00:58:49,400
And then he has an off game in the last knockout round.

1058
00:58:49,400 --> 00:58:52,400
He was 15 points, and he never really took any shots.

1059
00:58:52,400 --> 00:58:54,400
But that was odd, because I didn't watch him.

1060
00:58:54,400 --> 00:58:55,400
That was odd.

1061
00:58:55,400 --> 00:58:57,400
And then of course the big semifinal game.

1062
00:58:57,400 --> 00:59:01,400
Pelicans, Lakers, you know, Pelicans getting out at least three.

1063
00:59:01,400 --> 00:59:03,400
Lakers always get one shooting team.

1064
00:59:03,400 --> 00:59:07,400
Defensively, it was perfectly set up for Zion.

1065
00:59:07,400 --> 00:59:10,400
And he went into the toilet.

1066
00:59:10,400 --> 00:59:11,400
He looked out of shape.

1067
00:59:11,400 --> 00:59:13,400
He looked like he was interested.

1068
00:59:13,400 --> 00:59:15,400
He sat at the game, he got some more effort.

1069
00:59:15,400 --> 00:59:20,400
It just wasn't handed to him.

1070
00:59:20,400 --> 00:59:23,400
And he got it handed to him.

1071
00:59:23,400 --> 00:59:27,400
The Lakers were hot that night, LeBron knocking down three after three,

1072
00:59:27,400 --> 00:59:31,400
including a heat shut three, just drilled.

1073
00:59:31,400 --> 00:59:38,400
You have different people attacking the Pelicans.

1074
00:59:38,400 --> 00:59:41,400
He sends, knocking down three after three after three.

1075
00:59:41,400 --> 00:59:43,400
AD was dominant.

1076
00:59:43,400 --> 00:59:46,400
And Zion looked like he was fat, not in shape, not interested.

1077
00:59:46,400 --> 00:59:49,400
And after the game he said he got a few more effort,

1078
00:59:49,400 --> 00:59:51,400
which is the last thing you want to hear.

1079
00:59:51,400 --> 01:00:00,400
It's a highly compensated player is that the last thing you have to learn is

1080
01:00:00,400 --> 01:00:03,400
that honesty isn't always the best policy.

1081
01:00:03,400 --> 01:00:05,400
I mean, you don't lie.

1082
01:00:05,400 --> 01:00:07,400
But don't necessarily tell the truth.

1083
01:00:07,400 --> 01:00:11,400
Eli Manning, Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, really good at saying a whole bunch

1084
01:00:11,400 --> 01:00:14,400
or speaking a whole lot and saying nothing.

1085
01:00:14,400 --> 01:00:15,400
They're really good at that.

1086
01:00:15,400 --> 01:00:16,400
It's quarterback speak.

1087
01:00:16,400 --> 01:00:20,400
They'll say a whole bunch of stuff and none of it's useful.

1088
01:00:20,400 --> 01:00:22,400
Because it's not quotable.

1089
01:00:22,400 --> 01:00:23,400
It's not whatever.

1090
01:00:23,400 --> 01:00:27,400
Anyway, so after this Laker debacle, Stephen A.

1091
01:00:27,400 --> 01:00:34,400
Smith goes on the first tape and said that he was told that New Orleans chefs

1092
01:00:34,400 --> 01:00:42,400
are waiting to meet Zion because, and he quotes, that he'll eat the table.

1093
01:00:42,400 --> 01:00:50,400
In quotes, are you leaping serious?

1094
01:00:50,400 --> 01:00:53,400
He'll eat the table?

1095
01:00:53,400 --> 01:00:56,400
Quote unquote.

1096
01:00:56,400 --> 01:01:04,400
I mean, he'll eat the table?

1097
01:01:04,400 --> 01:01:07,400
That's past fat joke.

1098
01:01:07,400 --> 01:01:08,400
That's insulting.

1099
01:01:08,400 --> 01:01:12,400
Now, Stephen A. did preface it multiple times by saying it's not his reporting.

1100
01:01:12,400 --> 01:01:14,400
He's just hearing it.

1101
01:01:14,400 --> 01:01:16,400
But that's ridiculous.

1102
01:01:16,400 --> 01:01:19,400
And so Zion goes out and balls.

1103
01:01:19,400 --> 01:01:20,400
He has a table with 36 points.

1104
01:01:20,400 --> 01:01:23,400
He was at the beginning of the table with 36 points.

1105
01:01:23,400 --> 01:01:24,400
He's talking about rebounds.

1106
01:01:24,400 --> 01:01:26,400
Crazy level of efficiency.

1107
01:01:26,400 --> 01:01:30,400
And then on the first tape the next day, Stephen A. basically is saying, oh yeah,

1108
01:01:30,400 --> 01:01:32,400
you know what Zion said about coming from love?

1109
01:01:32,400 --> 01:01:34,400
That's why I said it's wrong.

1110
01:01:34,400 --> 01:01:36,400
We love you here and we just want you to succeed.

1111
01:01:36,400 --> 01:01:38,400
And he's talking about his stepfather.

1112
01:01:38,400 --> 01:01:42,400
He's walking back, but he's definitely not as aggressive as he was.

1113
01:01:42,400 --> 01:01:50,400
And that is ridiculous for national media to be doing that.

1114
01:01:50,400 --> 01:01:54,400
I mean, local media was still entering him, calling him fat, and then everyone was quiet

1115
01:01:54,400 --> 01:01:56,400
after the T-loops game.

1116
01:01:56,400 --> 01:01:57,400
All was well.

1117
01:01:57,400 --> 01:01:59,400
It was like nothing had ever happened.

1118
01:01:59,400 --> 01:02:02,400
And that's a little disconcerting for a guy like Zion.

1119
01:02:02,400 --> 01:02:04,400
He's not necessarily.

1120
01:02:04,400 --> 01:02:09,400
He's been nationally famous since he was 16, but it's not necessarily something that you

1121
01:02:09,400 --> 01:02:11,400
get accustomed to, you know?

1122
01:02:11,400 --> 01:02:14,400
So kudos to Zion for fighting with him.

1123
01:02:15,400 --> 01:02:21,400
championship rules, like I said, and just addressing what was going on with the media

1124
01:02:21,400 --> 01:02:22,400
without going into it.

1125
01:02:22,400 --> 01:02:27,400
If he, I'm going to say that if he comes from love, you know, thank you, or I appreciate

1126
01:02:27,400 --> 01:02:28,400
it, you know, I'm listening to it.

1127
01:02:28,400 --> 01:02:31,400
If he comes from anything else, thank you anyway.

1128
01:02:31,400 --> 01:02:36,400
And so that is a great attitude for Zion to have.

1129
01:02:36,400 --> 01:02:37,400
That's ridiculous.

1130
01:02:37,400 --> 01:02:42,400
And the fact that that stuff about, oh, he'll eat the table, only came out after the loss

1131
01:02:42,400 --> 01:02:46,400
and not the wins before that, because they were undefeated in the tournament as well.

1132
01:02:46,400 --> 01:02:51,400
Not the wins before that, but simply just the losses, ridiculous, shoddy reporting.

1133
01:02:51,400 --> 01:02:55,400
I don't know, especially if it's not a direct source.

1134
01:02:55,400 --> 01:03:02,400
But up next, we're going to have Jack's hack tape, which is here comes the D.I.

1135
01:03:26,400 --> 01:03:30,400
All right.

1136
01:03:30,400 --> 01:03:36,400
Welcome back into the show and welcome into Jack's hot take, which is going to be a talk

1137
01:03:36,400 --> 01:03:39,400
about prime time Deion Sanders, Colorado Buffalo.

1138
01:03:39,400 --> 01:03:48,400
Now, the Colorado Buffaloes was, it felt like everybody's favorite team from August to early

1139
01:03:48,400 --> 01:03:49,400
October.

1140
01:03:49,400 --> 01:03:54,400
And then the wheels kind of came off the bus a little bit for the team, the fandom loving

1141
01:03:54,400 --> 01:03:56,400
rhythm, celebrities everywhere.

1142
01:03:56,400 --> 01:04:00,400
They would come to all the games and they were showing up and showing out, especially

1143
01:04:00,400 --> 01:04:01,400
at the TCU.

1144
01:04:01,400 --> 01:04:06,400
I mean, Colorado, they had like amigos on the sideline, like Lil Wayne ran about one

1145
01:04:06,400 --> 01:04:07,400
game.

1146
01:04:07,400 --> 01:04:11,400
I mean, it was it was a show in Boulder, Colorado.

1147
01:04:11,400 --> 01:04:16,400
It felt like to me, black America descended on Boulder, Colorado, which would have never

1148
01:04:16,400 --> 01:04:19,400
said those words 12 months ago.

1149
01:04:19,400 --> 01:04:24,400
But that was the kind of the excitement that was brought around with being hired in Colorado.

1150
01:04:24,400 --> 01:04:31,400
And out of the things college football experts warned many people about, I started to notice

1151
01:04:31,400 --> 01:04:32,400
it too.

1152
01:04:32,400 --> 01:04:37,400
They weren't very good, like they were good, but they had a problem.

1153
01:04:37,400 --> 01:04:39,400
And that's the line of scrimmage.

1154
01:04:39,400 --> 01:04:44,400
If they played seven on seven, they probably get a cost of a playoff like Chidor and all

1155
01:04:44,400 --> 01:04:45,400
those weapons.

1156
01:04:45,400 --> 01:04:47,400
And that descents at back four was nasty.

1157
01:04:47,400 --> 01:04:49,400
You had Travis Hunter, you had Shia Lomond Sanders.

1158
01:04:49,400 --> 01:04:51,400
That back set, that back set was nasty.

1159
01:04:51,400 --> 01:04:52,400
All dribbles on offense.

1160
01:04:52,400 --> 01:04:54,400
The offense line was horrible.

1161
01:04:54,400 --> 01:04:56,400
That defense line made everything worse.

1162
01:04:56,400 --> 01:04:58,400
And you can't win football like that.

1163
01:04:58,400 --> 01:05:01,400
So pretty much even go off the rails and then go four and eight.

1164
01:05:01,400 --> 01:05:03,400
It's not like three and one.

1165
01:05:03,400 --> 01:05:04,400
End of one, four and eight.

1166
01:05:04,400 --> 01:05:10,400
But because they're not in the goal game, that allows me on Sanders to go in the road

1167
01:05:10,400 --> 01:05:11,400
early.

1168
01:05:11,400 --> 01:05:15,400
And he has picked up commitments from six offensive liners in the transfer pool.

1169
01:05:15,400 --> 01:05:20,400
But five in the quarter, and then the number one offensive tackle in the country at IMG

1170
01:05:20,400 --> 01:05:22,400
is going to go to Colorado.

1171
01:05:22,400 --> 01:05:25,400
Now, getting the kid to sign on December 20th is a trick.

1172
01:05:25,400 --> 01:05:29,400
He went on Fox and did the big Fox announcement on disputed.

1173
01:05:29,400 --> 01:05:32,400
And he's going to be in Colorado.

1174
01:05:32,400 --> 01:05:37,400
And there was a guard today that signed or that committed that I thought would have been

1175
01:05:37,400 --> 01:05:38,400
huge for Deon.

1176
01:05:38,400 --> 01:05:41,400
He's one of the top rated guards.

1177
01:05:41,400 --> 01:05:50,400
He's one of the top ten rated offensive liners actually in basketball last season.

1178
01:05:50,400 --> 01:05:51,400
Deon in the ghetto.

1179
01:05:51,400 --> 01:05:53,400
That kind of hurt a little bit.

1180
01:05:53,400 --> 01:06:00,400
Because I think he was the last guy that Deon was focusing on getting before moving on.

1181
01:06:00,400 --> 01:06:03,400
Because he has an interesting recruiting strategy.

1182
01:06:03,400 --> 01:06:06,400
He's recruiting the whole country for one position.

1183
01:06:06,400 --> 01:06:09,400
So he went around the whole country for offensive liners.

1184
01:06:09,400 --> 01:06:13,400
Now he's going to go around the whole country for defense liners.

1185
01:06:13,400 --> 01:06:15,400
He's going to go around the whole country for defense liners.

1186
01:06:15,400 --> 01:06:16,400
He's putting the piece together.

1187
01:06:16,400 --> 01:06:18,400
He's getting commitments.

1188
01:06:18,400 --> 01:06:21,400
He's got Will Shepard from Vanderbilt as a receiver.

1189
01:06:21,400 --> 01:06:23,400
He's getting commitments from other places.

1190
01:06:23,400 --> 01:06:27,400
First of all, I think he wants to do less of a two-way of Travis Hunter.

1191
01:06:27,400 --> 01:06:28,400
I think he wants to let him do it.

1192
01:06:28,400 --> 01:06:30,400
I think he's going to be primarily a corner.

1193
01:06:30,400 --> 01:06:33,400
He's going to do less of the receiver stuff.

1194
01:06:33,400 --> 01:06:36,400
Because he was full time both until he got hurt.

1195
01:06:36,400 --> 01:06:41,400
He was 120-plus snaps a game until he got hurt.

1196
01:06:41,400 --> 01:06:43,400
And then he had to kind of back off of it.

1197
01:06:43,400 --> 01:06:45,400
But I think he's going to do a lot more of a corner.

1198
01:06:45,400 --> 01:06:47,400
And pop him in a receiver.

1199
01:06:47,400 --> 01:06:50,400
As opposed to letting him basically start on both sides of the ball.

1200
01:06:50,400 --> 01:06:53,400
And so Will Shepard is going to be huge.

1201
01:06:53,400 --> 01:06:54,400
He can play.

1202
01:06:54,400 --> 01:06:56,400
I want him to know to shoot.

1203
01:06:56,400 --> 01:06:57,400
He can play.

1204
01:06:57,400 --> 01:07:00,400
And that's going to help Deon out and Shadura out, of course.

1205
01:07:00,400 --> 01:07:03,400
He's got six offensive linemen coming.

1206
01:07:03,400 --> 01:07:07,400
He reported like the guy I know he was on that guard.

1207
01:07:07,400 --> 01:07:10,400
But in the committee, I think he's going to go one more into your offensive linemen.

1208
01:07:10,400 --> 01:07:12,400
And he's going to go to the defensive line.

1209
01:07:12,400 --> 01:07:15,400
Because he desperately needs a defensive line as well.

1210
01:07:15,400 --> 01:07:17,400
We're going to the big 12.

1211
01:07:17,400 --> 01:07:24,400
But here comes prime time Deon Sanders.

1212
01:07:24,400 --> 01:07:26,400
I think America needs to get into this scene.

1213
01:07:26,400 --> 01:07:27,400
They're tough.

1214
01:07:27,400 --> 01:07:28,400
They're going to be tough.

1215
01:07:28,400 --> 01:07:32,400
And when we know they can score the ball, all they needed was a little more time for Shadura.

1216
01:07:32,400 --> 01:07:39,400
Now they've got two top rated transfers, depth, and the number one tackle in the country.

1217
01:07:39,400 --> 01:07:41,400
I think they're going to be able to check them.

1218
01:07:41,400 --> 01:07:42,400
Do I see them making the playoffs?

1219
01:07:42,400 --> 01:07:43,400
No.

1220
01:07:43,400 --> 01:07:46,400
Deon is already mentioning about making the playoffs.

1221
01:07:46,400 --> 01:07:47,400
Making the playoffs.

1222
01:07:47,400 --> 01:07:48,400
No.

1223
01:07:48,400 --> 01:07:52,400
But they could, depending on what division they get into in the big 12.

1224
01:07:52,400 --> 01:07:55,400
I can see them going eight and four, nine and three.

1225
01:07:55,400 --> 01:07:59,400
If you go eight and one in conference, there's a good chance, unless there's a nine and

1226
01:07:59,400 --> 01:08:02,400
three conference, that you're in the playoff.

1227
01:08:02,400 --> 01:08:04,400
So could they go eight and one in conference?

1228
01:08:04,400 --> 01:08:06,400
You know, one and three outside of it.

1229
01:08:06,400 --> 01:08:09,400
Eight and four, nine and three, whatever.

1230
01:08:09,400 --> 01:08:10,400
Eight and four.

1231
01:08:10,400 --> 01:08:13,400
And a seven and one in conference, one and three outside of it.

1232
01:08:13,400 --> 01:08:14,400
Go eight and four.

1233
01:08:14,400 --> 01:08:18,400
And be in the conference championship game with a chance to win your end.

1234
01:08:18,400 --> 01:08:19,400
The playoffs?

1235
01:08:19,400 --> 01:08:20,400
Yes.

1236
01:08:20,400 --> 01:08:21,400
Because the playoffs makes sure you have 12 teams.

1237
01:08:21,400 --> 01:08:24,400
The big 12 is an automatic qualifier.

1238
01:08:24,400 --> 01:08:26,400
Texas number home is calling.

1239
01:08:26,400 --> 01:08:28,400
They're going to the SEC.

1240
01:08:28,400 --> 01:08:31,400
The

1241
01:08:31,400 --> 01:08:33,400
Oklahoma State.

1242
01:08:33,400 --> 01:08:37,400
Kansas.

1243
01:08:37,400 --> 01:08:39,400
Kansas?

1244
01:08:39,400 --> 01:08:42,400
I get it, it's Baylor.

1245
01:08:42,400 --> 01:08:45,400
Oh, wait, no, no, it's TCU.

1246
01:08:45,400 --> 01:08:47,400
It's BYU?

1247
01:08:47,400 --> 01:08:53,400
You see how those programs are particularly interesting?

1248
01:08:53,400 --> 01:08:59,400
And now the most captivating stories in the country, the most captivating coaches in the country,

1249
01:08:59,400 --> 01:09:06,400
one of the best infrastructures in terms of being an attention seeker is coming into the big 12.

1250
01:09:06,400 --> 01:09:12,400
He's coming into Texas where he was coaching high school football at Trinity Christian with Shador.

1251
01:09:12,400 --> 01:09:18,400
He's coming into Texas where he was a Dallas Cowboy legend.

1252
01:09:18,400 --> 01:09:22,400
And now he gets to recruit across the country and isolate one position.

1253
01:09:22,400 --> 01:09:27,400
He's fixing a little offensive line problem.

1254
01:09:27,400 --> 01:09:33,400
I can only imagine what he can do with an offensive line that's standing up.

1255
01:09:33,400 --> 01:09:35,400
So now I say he's got to get that D line straight.

1256
01:09:35,400 --> 01:09:36,400
He's got the O line.

1257
01:09:36,400 --> 01:09:43,400
He needs about three D linemen, preferably one top freshman and then two more good ones at the portal.

1258
01:09:43,400 --> 01:09:46,400
I think he'll have a team that can go get in the playoffs.

1259
01:09:46,400 --> 01:09:48,400
But I mean, that's how close they were.

1260
01:09:48,400 --> 01:09:50,400
I mean, they were five linemen away.

1261
01:09:50,400 --> 01:09:53,400
They threw an offense, two on defense. They got the offense taken care of.

1262
01:09:53,400 --> 01:09:55,400
Now they need to focus on the defense.

1263
01:09:55,400 --> 01:10:00,400
Two or three defensive linemen that play a lot and then two or three more for depth purposes.

1264
01:10:00,400 --> 01:10:01,400
I think they'll be in the playoffs.

1265
01:10:01,400 --> 01:10:07,400
The Colorado Buffaloes could be played off the mound in Deon's year two.

1266
01:10:07,400 --> 01:10:10,400
But that is all I have for today.

1267
01:10:10,400 --> 01:10:13,400
Thank you guys for hanging in with me a little over an hour and 10 minutes.

1268
01:10:13,400 --> 01:10:16,400
I appreciate you guys rocking with me.

1269
01:10:16,400 --> 01:10:19,400
Hopefully I'll have some big show news on right at later.

1270
01:10:19,400 --> 01:10:22,400
Big stuff will be coming in 2024 for the show.

1271
01:10:22,400 --> 01:10:27,400
So thank you guys for that holiday schedule.

1272
01:10:27,400 --> 01:10:36,400
Because Christmas and New Year's both fall on Monday, I will be having shows through the New Year.

1273
01:10:36,400 --> 01:10:39,400
I sometimes take a break Christmas week.

1274
01:10:39,400 --> 01:10:41,400
That's kind of a deadish period.

1275
01:10:41,400 --> 01:10:44,400
It is a dead period for the civil recruiting.

1276
01:10:44,400 --> 01:10:48,400
It's kind of a deadish period for the NFL.

1277
01:10:48,400 --> 01:10:51,400
They play games but it's not really big news a week.

1278
01:10:51,400 --> 01:10:53,400
The NBA is pretty quiet.

1279
01:10:53,400 --> 01:10:56,400
They play the big Christmas day slate and that's pretty much it.

1280
01:10:56,400 --> 01:11:00,400
So if there's a show missing it would probably be Christmas week.

1281
01:11:00,400 --> 01:11:06,400
But I will definitely keep you guys updated on that when it happens.

1282
01:11:06,400 --> 01:11:09,400
But that is all I have for today.

1283
01:11:09,400 --> 01:11:11,400
This is your host, Justin Jackson.

1284
01:11:11,400 --> 01:11:18,400
We'll see you guys later.
