Welcome into the show for all of my lawyer listeners.

14
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:36,320
Welcome man, if you're new here, welcome to the show for all my lawyer listeners all over

15
00:01:36,320 --> 00:01:42,000
the Southeast, Southeast Asia, Southeast America, apparently I'm popular in the Southeast.

16
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:47,280
I appreciate all of you guys for sticking with me as you can hear our audio issues have

17
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:48,280
been solved.

18
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:52,000
I don't know what's going on the past couple of weeks headset situation.

19
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:53,480
I don't know what's going on.

20
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,760
But regardless, we are back.

21
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:58,000
You know, a little bit of life lesson.

22
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,360
You know, sometimes they say you got to go back to the original before you go forward.

23
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:05,360
If I had the microphone, you think now it worked well.

24
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,720
I admit I got lazy.

25
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:08,720
And I didn't want to hold it anymore.

26
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:13,240
It's not a headset, I just spread my microphone, I didn't want to hold it anymore.

27
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,600
And then I went to a headset and it worked perfectly fine.

28
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:19,920
But as you guys, if you know if you listen to me, I've moved and in the mood, I guess

29
00:02:19,920 --> 00:02:25,760
the heads that got damaged and had a weird echo background thing going on.

30
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:27,640
And it made all the audio sound weird.

31
00:02:27,640 --> 00:02:32,200
And I have a couple of great shows in my opinion kind of lose their traction because the audio

32
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,200
sounded funny.

33
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:35,800
But I think the audio is fixed now.

34
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:41,360
Thank Jesus, the audio is fixed and now we can really get into this, really get into

35
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:42,360
the sports show.

36
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:46,720
And so under America's fastest growing sports shows, when I talk to these Asians, fastest

37
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:52,880
growing sports shows in each of the regions, I like to grow in other places.

38
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:57,720
Also shout out to you guys for continuing on the social medias.

39
00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:59,880
Facebook is dropping off a little bit to pick that back up.

40
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:01,080
Instagram is steady rolling.

41
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,360
Twitter interactions are up.

42
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,000
So I appreciate all you guys for that.

43
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:06,720
We're even growing in the podcast list.

44
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,560
And so if you're sharing it with your friends, keep sharing it with your friends.

45
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,200
Tell your friends you shared it with your share with some of their friends that you may not

46
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:13,200
know.

47
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,120
Um, keep sharing on your social medias.

48
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:16,120
I greatly appreciate it.

49
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,960
I thank all you guys for that.

50
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,560
But with all the platitudes out of the way, with all the gratefulness and the genuine

51
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,600
gratefulness, I mean, I wouldn't do this if I didn't think you guys were getting the

52
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:27,600
genuine benefit out of it.

53
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,840
I would keep all these good ideas to myself.

54
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:36,360
But getting all that stuff out of the way, let's jump right into NFL week 15.

55
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:40,320
I've said it before, said it a couple months ago about the Chargers.

56
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,840
Um, and I said it last week about the Chiefs.

57
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,840
I know my audio was a little weird, so maybe you didn't stick through the podcast, you

58
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,120
threw it, but I said it last week about the Chiefs.

59
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,760
I'm saying it this week about the Eagles.

60
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:52,880
Something's wrong in Philly.

61
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,880
Like horribly wrong.

62
00:03:55,880 --> 00:04:02,040
The Philadelphia Eagles came off a Super Bowl, but they feel like they should have won.

63
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:06,920
And it's not the usual, man, you know, we should have won this game or, you know, coaches

64
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:07,920
speak.

65
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:08,920
I'm a coach.

66
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,680
I can go back into a blowout and say six plays turn this game.

67
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,640
You lost by 40, but I can say six plays.

68
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:21,720
Um, you know, the game I coached in that we were out maxed from Jump Street.

69
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:23,680
You know, it went wrong on the open kickoff.

70
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:25,520
They ran the kickoff back.

71
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:30,680
And I can point to about six different plays where that game is different and we may, we

72
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:34,680
may not win it, but you're much closer than you were.

73
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:35,680
Right.

74
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:40,800
The Eagles legitimately are probably four plays away total out of a hundred to mind

75
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:48,160
play game from winning the Super Bowl to with props, um, a pass interference and a hold

76
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,240
go a different way.

77
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:56,720
The Eagles are probably raining defending Super Bowl champions and you get, and you

78
00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:03,080
come off of that office coordinator guard, defensive coordinator, gone.

79
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:10,320
So now a fairly young head coach, a type of experience and age at this point, to be honest

80
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:11,320
with you.

81
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:21,440
Um, Nick Siriani is now having to replace his OC and his DCs coming off of a Super

82
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:22,440
Bowl run.

83
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:27,000
If there's any time you don't want to replace major staff members, it's off Super Bowl runs.

84
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:31,280
You definitely don't want to replace both because now you don't even have the continuity

85
00:05:31,280 --> 00:05:33,600
of saying, well, I know the deep.

86
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:38,240
Well, let's say the office of Cornelius, say, uh, I think it's Gannon, say Gannon leaves

87
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:43,320
and goes to Arizona because the other coordinators in the Indian, but let's say Gannon leaves

88
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:44,320
and goes to Arizona.

89
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,120
I think it's DC, whatever.

90
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,000
You can at least say, okay, I know the offense is going to work.

91
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,960
So we'll have to ride our offense to protect our defense.

92
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:57,640
Our defense gets used to it or the deep or the OC leaves in the DC stage.

93
00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,520
You go, well, we got hell over defense.

94
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:03,600
So let's lean on our defense, protect our defense, don't take any chance to put our

95
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,800
defense in a bad spot and we'll lean on our defense.

96
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,520
You lost both, so you don't know what's going to work.

97
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:10,520
It looks good in practice.

98
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,240
It looks good in the preseason.

99
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,520
You don't know truly what's going to work.

100
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:18,680
So the Eagles come into the season right again now, they're right off the bat having

101
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:22,720
the baseball coordinators, the players are filling the Super Bowl hangover.

102
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:26,640
They may actually be kind of rebooting something they did like a Domicom, Superpoorly may come

103
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:32,760
back, you know, so you're going into the season and you're rolling.

104
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:37,240
You can get the 10 and one, but that's crack.

105
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:44,720
Small cracks, small ones, small ones, infinitesimal ones.

106
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:48,320
Off bat offensive game here.

107
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:52,680
Secondary can be had if you don't pass rush here.

108
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:58,200
Coaching oddities on play calls offensively over here.

109
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:09,560
You know, you see that kind of what's like about it.

110
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:11,760
We'll talk about it in basketball.

111
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,360
There's prebiotism to other teams, too.

112
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:18,320
There'll be issues that'll be covered because you're winning.

113
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,080
It's not the fact that you have a great offense or great defense.

114
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:22,640
We just winning games.

115
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,320
They barely escape Buffalo.

116
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:29,840
You know, like the master game that stands out to me as like the red alarm fire game

117
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:30,840
is Buffalo.

118
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,200
Buffalo at that point was floundering.

119
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,720
I recall saying something's wrong in Buffalo.

120
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,600
Like they're floundering.

121
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:44,200
They're trying to get their life together to be kind.

122
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:53,720
Um, they're struggling and they eagles barely escape in a game that bills didn't necessarily

123
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:58,800
play that well in the Eagles barely escape and kind of the red alarm.

124
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:06,280
Something's going on bills started popping out fast forward to get smacked by San Francisco.

125
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:07,280
Not great.

126
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:08,280
But everybody lose San Francisco.

127
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:11,520
Well, that's to me the best team in the league or not.

128
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:12,520
My super bowl favorite.

129
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,440
I was a betting man.

130
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,400
I would bet San Frank.

131
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:20,920
That is the that is the super bowl bet right now.

132
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:25,440
That's the point unless it's incredibly poorly juice and they don't worry about it.

133
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:29,440
But that is the San Francisco 49ers.

134
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:30,440
Right.

135
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:38,840
So getting smacked by saying Fran isn't the world's worst loss.

136
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:40,840
It's understandable actually.

137
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:48,280
But then you go when you get punched in the mouth by Dallas, who we just saw get punched

138
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:49,280
in the mouth by Buffalo.

139
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,640
What's up about that?

140
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:53,640
Get punched in the mouth by Dallas.

141
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:55,160
All right.

142
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,160
That's really not good.

143
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:01,400
But bill, you know, nine of the best team in football.

144
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,160
The Niners also have that streak number last year.

145
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:05,720
Every pretty much every single team.

146
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:09,680
If not every single team that played the nine is lost the next week.

147
00:09:09,680 --> 00:09:11,480
All right.

148
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:13,440
Then you go and lose to drew lock.

149
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,280
After you lock goes 92 yards.

150
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:21,200
You know, James Bradbury because Brad Bradbury gave every single catch in the drive.

151
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:27,280
You go 92 yards to clutch you from drew lock and you lose that game.

152
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:34,760
All of 10 hours or 20, 36 hours before the game.

153
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:40,200
There's an announcement that Sean decide who was the defensive coordinator is now going

154
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:41,880
up to the booth.

155
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:49,040
That Patricia is going to call the defensive plays also shout out on a side note, shout

156
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:53,560
out Matt Patricia being an officer coordinator and a defensive coordinator in less than

157
00:09:53,560 --> 00:09:56,160
about 10, 12 months.

158
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,400
I mean, that's impressive.

159
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,400
He was a page officer coordinator.

160
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:01,400
Not a good one.

161
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:02,400
He was the ego.

162
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:03,720
And now he's the ego's defensive coordinator.

163
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:08,840
Like he's got to be one of the few guys in history to be both to be a OC and a DC.

164
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,720
Now, granted, technically wasn't the OC for the patrons.

165
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:15,600
So you may lose that distinction of being the only one to do that because officially

166
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:19,800
he wasn't officially the page didn't have quit last year.

167
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:20,800
Whatever.

168
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:24,720
But back to a point back to the point rather.

169
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:30,240
Um, they made the announcement that Sean decides going to the booth and that map is

170
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:34,280
just going to late radio in the defensive plays to the green dot.

171
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:35,280
The difference captain.

172
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,920
Basically, he's going to call the place.

173
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:39,840
Which is odd.

174
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:44,720
John reminded me when Buffalo fired King Dorsey in exchange for Joe Brady.

175
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:46,440
I'm like, the offense is working.

176
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,840
Josh Allen is being a nincompoop defense is working.

177
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:51,640
You just have a secondary problem.

178
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:57,880
And to me, that's more of talent than anything because Patricia on that last drive, the Seahawks

179
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:03,720
had the right calls on Bradbear just got tortured literally all the way down the fifth.

180
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,520
There's nothing anybody can do as a defense coordinator.

181
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:11,960
They found your weakness in football is another word, but they found your weakness and went

182
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:13,600
after him for 92 yards.

183
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,960
There's nothing anybody could do.

184
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:17,960
He's his own cover.

185
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:18,960
They hit his own.

186
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:19,960
He was a man cover.

187
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:20,960
They burned him on a rock.

188
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:21,960
Like there was nothing anybody could do.

189
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:22,960
Bradbury got torched.

190
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:28,400
And so something going on in Philly because maybe the offense lies on Monday night rather

191
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:30,240
was a disaster.

192
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:34,560
If they weren't touch pushing or just fly out, I'm bigger than you.

193
00:11:34,560 --> 00:11:35,560
Offensive passing.

194
00:11:35,560 --> 00:11:38,880
It didn't really work.

195
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:45,280
Swift was working, but for the most part, it didn't go necessarily that well.

196
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:49,200
And so maybe you didn't need an office according to the switch.

197
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:50,640
They do something in Philly right now.

198
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:56,280
They are floundering in Philadelphia.

199
00:11:56,280 --> 00:12:00,840
Cincinnati bingles quarterback Jake Browning doing his best Joe Burrow impression.

200
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:02,960
Oh, he spoke about the past couple of weeks.

201
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:07,640
He's on an efficiency level question that franchise that no one's ever done but Burrow.

202
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:11,160
And usually NFL history is pretty much been Burrow.

203
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,400
And he is rolling.

204
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:18,920
Did not play a very good game at all against Minnesota for the most part.

205
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:28,080
But when he needed to, he well, like about a term, channeled his inner Joe Burrow.

206
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:33,720
He clustered at the end, including a great past he Higgins who made an all world effort

207
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,880
catching the ball in contact, playing his feet, spinning around.

208
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:41,160
It's all over just the time sports and extending the ball over goal line.

209
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:42,160
Basically not looking at it.

210
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:46,000
It's kind of reaching back for kind of knowing when he was on the field.

211
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,160
Insane field away and it's the same body control.

212
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,960
But you have that going on.

213
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:56,680
The defense held on strong and they were going against Nick Muller.

214
00:12:56,680 --> 00:12:59,040
He's against the Vikings, not the world's best quarterbacks.

215
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:00,280
Tested against.

216
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:09,560
But the defense holds on strong and it is just a great moment for Jake Browning.

217
00:13:09,560 --> 00:13:11,080
You got a similar moment.

218
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,440
We spoke about earlier, Philly, Seattle with Drew Lock.

219
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:18,440
Drew Lock much more emotional than Jake Browning was, but you get these all time moments from

220
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:26,320
these, from these backup quarterbacks that can truly potentially elevate their careers

221
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,440
and save the seasons of the teams that are quarterbacking.

222
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,880
Now, Drew Lock got a huge win over Philadelphia teams.

223
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:33,640
The only has full losses.

224
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:38,640
So this win is going to be very critical to the standings because if it's a common opponent

225
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:44,040
moment, that win over Philly may be the only different of the common opponent.

226
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:48,840
You're like, we both play the same division because NSE, so to say the NSE West, it comes

227
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:54,840
down to a team that, you know, they have the same exact record, except one beat Philly

228
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:56,440
and one didn't.

229
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:58,440
That's a huge game.

230
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,480
If you're Jake Browning, you're literally captaining the ship because Joe Burrow was

231
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:02,480
hurt.

232
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:07,360
And also your quarterbacking towards hands are the starting position because if you look

233
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:13,480
around the league, this quarterback draft can be deep, but it might miss.

234
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:15,480
What are you going to do for your Giants?

235
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:16,480
The Saints.

236
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:20,640
What are you going to do?

237
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:26,800
If you are, oh, man, I think some of the teams are like, I know the Bucks.

238
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:27,800
What are you going to do?

239
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:28,800
Make a Mayfield.

240
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:30,640
Um, the Raiders.

241
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:32,640
What's your plan there?

242
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:36,320
Um, Minnesota.

243
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:37,920
What are you going to do in Minnesota?

244
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:38,920
Uh, Pittsburgh.

245
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:45,680
Like, you know, there's landing spots that Browning could end up being in that could be

246
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:46,680
huge for him.

247
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:48,840
He got that opportunity because Joe Burrow got hurt.

248
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:50,840
He's taking advantage of the opportunity.

249
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,360
He's making some magic all over the field right now.

250
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:56,680
Kudos to Jake Browning.

251
00:14:56,680 --> 00:15:00,880
Brandon Staley is fired.

252
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:06,280
And I make no, and I do, and I mean it.

253
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:07,840
I get no joy in this.

254
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:11,120
I really don't.

255
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:15,480
I get no enjoyment in this.

256
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:16,480
In the slightest.

257
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:17,480
I really don't.

258
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:22,720
I mean, when I called for his job last week, I don't like this.

259
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:28,400
But I called for his job pretty much saying he's out of there, right?

260
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,680
And you lose the way you lost.

261
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,480
You can't save your job in that moment.

262
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,040
Um, Brandon Staley has been fired by the Chargers.

263
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,000
They fired him.

264
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,360
They fired Dijian Tomolesco.

265
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:46,720
They fired three of the four other assistant coaches.

266
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:55,120
They made a sweeping decision to clear out the regime of the Los Angeles Chargers.

267
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:59,040
And that is truly one of those moments.

268
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:05,680
It's like, wow, you know, they came and they knew what they wanted to get done.

269
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:08,560
They realized they weren't playing Charger football.

270
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,160
Oh, what they deem is Charger football.

271
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:12,160
They clear house.

272
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:16,960
So kudos to the Chargers for not sinking the ship any further.

273
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:21,200
Now reportedly they are connected to John Harbaugh or Jim Harbaugh, rather.

274
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:27,520
Bill Belotech has been linked to them for the past month and a half, which was ironic

275
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:33,800
because both of the Bill Belotech had a job and Chargers had a coach for the past month

276
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:34,800
and a half.

277
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:45,080
And so now that now that Staley is fired, that that has become an even bigger connection

278
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:48,560
but to the Chargers.

279
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:52,400
Oh, the Cowboys.

280
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:56,280
Remember we spoke about them and that was like, man, they got crushed.

281
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,800
They got embarrassed.

282
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:07,400
You lost an NFL game by multiple scores to a team whose quarterback never passed the

283
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,520
ball for 100 yards.

284
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:19,640
Unless it's to be honest, if you don't throw 400 yards in the NFL, I don't give a good

285
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,840
care if it's mad.

286
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,080
Probably not going to win that game.

287
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:30,360
You're definitely not going to win the game 31 to 10.

288
00:17:30,360 --> 00:17:42,840
Josh Allen was 7 of 15, 94 yards for a touchdown with a QBR of 53.8, aka slightly above average.

289
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:51,000
He beat Dak Preskap, who himself was 21 of 34, 134 yards for one interception with a

290
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:57,000
QBR of 38.5, aka below average.

291
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:20,880
Oh, and on the end of the

292
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:36,120
game, they got punched in the mouth repeatedly to the tune of 49 carries, 266 yards and three

293
00:18:36,120 --> 00:18:37,120
touchdowns.

294
00:18:37,120 --> 00:18:39,280
Yeah, you heard me.

295
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:48,600
The Bills ran the ball 49 times for 266 yards, 5.4 yards a carry, 3 touchdowns and the longest

296
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:53,880
one they had all night was 24 yards, where you've been agents hit you over and over and

297
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:54,880
over.

298
00:18:54,880 --> 00:19:06,640
James Cook himself ran the ball 25 times for a Buc 79, 7.2 yards a carry and a touchdown.

299
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:12,520
That's what happened to the Cowboys.

300
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:13,520
They got manhandled.

301
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:19,600
They actually drafted Mazi Smith in the first round for the sole purpose of that not happening

302
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:20,600
to them.

303
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:26,760
And they got mauled in that game offensively and defensively.

304
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:31,880
Dak Preskap looked uncomfortable all night and the defense showed no signs of life against

305
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:35,000
the run game at all.

306
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,000
And they got absolutely crushed.

307
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:43,720
That's the kind of loss where even if you find a way to bounce it back or you find a way

308
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,600
to win the next week, you should think about that loss.

309
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,680
That's a physical beating.

310
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:54,000
That's the kind of loss where people inside the building and your fan base in the media

311
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:58,520
question how tough you are and how physical you are.

312
00:19:58,520 --> 00:19:59,520
Buffalo.

313
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:00,520
Buffalo.

314
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:01,520
Buffalo.

315
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:02,520
Buffalo who literally.

316
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:18,440
And I do mean literally never has done that to anybody.

317
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:23,440
Has never done that to anybody.

318
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,440
And I do mean anybody.

319
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:30,200
Since Josh Allen here.

320
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:33,920
And even still that's not how that went down.

321
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:37,360
Did it to the Cowboys.

322
00:20:37,360 --> 00:20:41,200
And one of the big things that stood out in that game, and then we'll move on to our last

323
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,280
game is a few statistics.

324
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:51,760
It highlighted the depth of difference between the Cowboys at home and the Cowboys on the

325
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:52,760
road.

326
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:57,480
See we all kind of have that Cowboys at, you know, Cowboys theme in our heads of what

327
00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:59,160
they look like.

328
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,520
The Cowboys on the road.

329
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:06,640
How they have Cowboys have played seven games on the road.

330
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:07,800
Okay.

331
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:11,960
If you take away the giants in the Carolina Panthers, and this is the worst human football,

332
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:12,960
giants ain't much better.

333
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:17,800
And those two games, they were two, you know, 36 and a half points a game.

334
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:19,800
They only gave up five a game.

335
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:21,520
They just shut out one of them again.

336
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:26,160
We have sevens together or 10 to one and zero together, something like that.

337
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:27,880
Never sacked, never get a ball away.

338
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:28,880
Right.

339
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:30,880
They hold the domination of two really good and bad teams.

340
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:32,200
Good job.

341
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:38,320
In the other five games, they play on the road, which includes Arizona, the Niners, Chargers,

342
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,160
the Eagles and the Bills.

343
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:41,160
They are one in four.

344
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:45,320
I believe the only win is against the Chargers.

345
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:54,280
They scored 15.8 points a game down 21 points and they give up 29.2 points a game up 24 points.

346
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:58,800
Sack 19 times eight giveaways.

347
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:02,360
Cowboys at home are plus 24 points a game.

348
00:22:02,360 --> 00:22:05,880
They have never lost their plus 142 yards a game.

349
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:12,280
That press guy is one of the best quarterbacks in the league at a 122.5 pass.

350
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:18,160
The Cowboys on the road in the Atlanta Falcons, and I got this from first things first, are

351
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,800
the same team.

352
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:24,800
Exact same win percentage points per game difference.

353
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:29,800
The Cowboys a little better, but they're still negative.

354
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,920
Yards per game difference, Falcons actually do better against yards.

355
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:37,200
And Desmond Ritter is only two points lower in the pass rate in comparison than that press

356
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:38,280
guy.

357
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:42,800
Your quarterback becomes Desmond Ritter and your team becomes the Falcons.

358
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:43,800
Congratulations.

359
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:44,800
Congrats, right?

360
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:45,800
You really good hope.

361
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,800
Sucks because you're not going to be in the number one team.

362
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:54,800
Hey, you probably not got away your division.

363
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:58,800
These men are going to have to go on the road playoffs and besides like this, he's going

364
00:22:58,800 --> 00:22:59,800
to end very quickly.

365
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,800
But are we surprised at this point?

366
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:03,800
Cowboys.

367
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,800
It's like what they do.

368
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:10,800
Loose in games at night.

369
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:13,800
Congrats.

370
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:19,800
And then lastly, the Ravens take down the Jags in a game that has to be frustrating to

371
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:20,800
the Jaguars.

372
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:25,800
Because that's one of those games where as a coach, you can legitimately say six plays.

373
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:31,800
Two Miss Fieldgoals, Trevor Lawrence is fumble.

374
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,800
There was a blunder in the special teams era.

375
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:38,800
I mean, they can legitimately say we're six plays away from winning this game, probably

376
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:39,800
comfortably.

377
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,800
And you lose it decisively.

378
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:47,800
And so from the Jags, man, it's that's two weeks on the road.

379
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:48,800
The Jags have beaten themselves.

380
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:49,800
That works.

381
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:50,800
It means themselves right now.

382
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:53,800
They need to get that in the control and Baltimore to give an inch.

383
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:55,800
You know, Baltimore didn't dominate this game.

384
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:57,800
Baltimore didn't run away and hide with this game.

385
00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:00,800
Baltimore didn't, you know, control this game from the outset.

386
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:03,800
Baltimore was controlled for a vast majority of it.

387
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:05,800
He did majority of it.

388
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:10,800
Baltimore was controlled, but they were able to take advantage of opportunities when they

389
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:11,800
presented themselves.

390
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:15,800
They were able to make their field goals for one.

391
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:20,800
They were able to make their field goals for one.

392
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:24,800
They were able to take advantage of turnovers.

393
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:28,800
Even if they didn't move it very far, they moved it enough to flip the field back over

394
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:29,800
in the punt coverage.

395
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:34,800
You know, they were doing things to attempt to win this game.

396
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,800
Of course.

397
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:40,800
And they did a really, really good job of taking advantage of it.

398
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:42,800
Lamar Jackson, man, watch.

399
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:43,800
It's not me watching.

400
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,800
He does something you're like, wow.

401
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:52,800
I mean, literally every time you watch him, he does something that wows you.

402
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:54,800
Oh man, he escaped from a sack.

403
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:57,800
So where the defender said, how?

404
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:04,800
It's just, it's a privilege to watch him play.

405
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,800
And so the Ravens are a really good team, man.

406
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:11,800
I mean, the bills are probably the team I don't want to play in the playoffs because

407
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:15,800
they're going to be somebody six or seven seed and give somebody hell on earth.

408
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,800
But the Ravens are really, really good football team.

409
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:20,800
And you're going to have, it looks as it sits.

410
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,800
You're going to have to go through M and T bank to win.

411
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:25,800
And that's going to be hard to do.

412
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:26,800
You have to go through Baltimore.

413
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:27,800
It's going to be really hard to do.

414
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:33,800
Especially the Mars on this game to beat the Ravens.

415
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:34,800
All right.

416
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:35,800
Quick kidders.

417
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:36,800
CJ Stroud likely out this week.

418
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:42,800
If he continues to battle through the concussion protocol, um, prayers up to the young man.

419
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:47,800
He was dark horse MVP candidate as a rookie, mainly because no one else has jumped out.

420
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:53,800
I mean, probably Christian McCaffrey, Brock Purdy is probably the two niners are probably

421
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:55,800
the best favorite turned out.

422
00:25:55,800 --> 00:26:00,800
Um, so probably give it to Chris McCaffrey, which would be a big thing for running backs.

423
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:06,800
Oh, and Rogers is done for the year.

424
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:08,800
I know he was teasing being medically cleared for Christmas Eve.

425
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:15,800
Um, you know, playing week 15, 16, he was at a playoff contention, uh, or weeks, you

426
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:17,800
know, 17, 18, two, the playoff contention.

427
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:19,800
He is officially out.

428
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:23,800
He told Pat McAfee just, uh, he's just a couple of weeks away.

429
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:28,800
Um, a few weeks away rather considering that it's week 16.

430
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:33,800
A few weeks away means that he probably would have potentially could have came back for

431
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:34,800
a wild card game.

432
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:36,800
The Jets aren't going to make the wild card.

433
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:42,800
Um, so his season's over, which confirms, uh, despite, despite the hope, it admittedly

434
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:44,800
despite, I kind of want to see it.

435
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:50,800
Uh, but despite the best attempt, um, Achilles saw the season in the injury.

436
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:52,800
Now he does have the advantage.

437
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:53,800
He's already practicing.

438
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:58,800
Normally with the old Achilles injury and the traditional Achilles surgery, you're on

439
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:00,800
a shelf for like nine to 10 months.

440
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:06,800
Um, and then you're pretty much working your way back that following year, week one, week

441
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,800
two, probably be your first few weeks practicing.

442
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:10,800
He's practicing already.

443
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:19,800
He's going to have a month, five weeks of legitimate NFL practice before he goes into the off season.

444
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:21,800
He can do a real off season program.

445
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:23,800
He could do a tradition, he could do a real off season.

446
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:24,800
He'll sort of be rehabbing.

447
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,800
He'll be working out strengthening, getting ready to go studying.

448
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:30,800
It's a real off season for him instead of rehabbing.

449
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:35,800
Um, and then he was activated off energy reserve for the sole purpose of being able to continue

450
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:40,800
the practice, um, which is something that he would not have been able to do had he not

451
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:45,800
been activated off energy reserve because he was in the practice.

452
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:48,800
He opened his practice window.

453
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:54,800
Um, and then that being said, once you open your practice window, you have to, you have

454
00:27:54,800 --> 00:28:02,800
21 days to, um, be activated or you, uh, be out for the season.

455
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:03,800
You can't practice.

456
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:07,800
Um, and so he'll, he's course has been activated on game days.

457
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:10,800
Obviously he'll be an active, uh, but he was activated.

458
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:14,800
He can continue to practice, which is a big thing for the Packers.

459
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:15,800
I'm sorry.

460
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:16,800
The Jets.

461
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:17,800
Apologies.

462
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:22,800
The Demonta Kazee, uh, has been suspended for the year for his hit on Michael Pidman.

463
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:26,800
Um, Tom Brady spoke up in defensive Kazee saying this is what he was talking about.

464
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:27,800
And he went on a rant.

465
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:31,800
There's much of a rant as Brady had gone on, but he went on a rant on the Stephen A. Smith

466
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:35,800
show, discussing that quarterbacks have a responsibility to their receivers.

467
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:37,800
Offense has a responsibility to the offense.

468
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:41,800
Don't put yourself in a position to get your head knocked off or don't put your teammate

469
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:45,800
mission against head knocked off and then get mad at the DB for knocking his head off.

470
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:47,800
You know what I'm saying?

471
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:50,800
He was saying like he wouldn't throw the ball to certain spots.

472
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:56,800
Um, he went through the ball in certain spots against, uh, Ray Lewis because Ray Lewis

473
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,800
knocked his receiver out the game and now he didn't have that receiver or he wouldn't

474
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:02,800
test certain people in certain spots because that person would knock him out the game.

475
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:08,800
He was like, there's certain duty a quarterback has to receivers that, you know, to not throw

476
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,800
the ball in certain spots for, you know, to protect them.

477
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:15,800
And it's not the defender's fault to protect the receiver from being hit hard.

478
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:17,800
Like that's obviously shots from the head is different.

479
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:21,800
Obviously dirty hits are different, but to me that was a, that was the situation where

480
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:24,800
what was the defender supposed to do?

481
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:29,800
You know, um, men shoot those ball pitman's full extension diving out.

482
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:36,800
What is Kazi crashing down from the safety position is supposed to do in the NFL world.

483
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:43,800
He is supposed to probably get out of the way and let a pit man touch it or do some kind

484
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:47,800
of acrobatic punch at it or, you know, touch him while he's in the air.

485
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:48,800
And if he drops it, he drops it.

486
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:52,800
If he catches it, he's down right there because he laid a hit because he turned his shoulder

487
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:54,800
and laid the hit.

488
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:58,800
The issue was instead of hitting pitman in the shoulder, he hit him in the face, being

489
00:29:58,800 --> 00:29:59,800
his neck back.

490
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:01,800
It was a nasty visual.

491
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:05,800
Um, and because he was throwing out the game, he was subsequently suspended for the season.

492
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:08,800
I think spending half of the season was insane.

493
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:15,800
I can see four games, um, four games regardless if he, you know, four games, including the

494
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:16,800
playoffs.

495
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:20,800
So if he, you know, the stealers make the playoffs, he'd be out, prominent, you know,

496
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:21,800
he'd serve the games needed to in the playoffs.

497
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:24,800
If they don't, he'll continue to serve him next year.

498
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:29,800
We 16, 17, 18 and then the playoff game or a station seven to 18 and then week one.

499
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:30,800
Um, he would serve his suspension.

500
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,800
I think spending him for the year without rages.

501
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:40,800
I also believe that if this hit was in week two and not week 15, he's not spending for

502
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:41,800
the year.

503
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:43,800
I think spending for the year was easy.

504
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:45,800
The stealers probably aren't going to go very far.

505
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:50,800
If they make it the playoffs or out in line one for it, it'll effectively be a four game

506
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:51,800
suspension.

507
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:54,800
I think if it happens in week 10, he may spend the four games anyway.

508
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:59,800
Um, so I just think of one of the situations where the NFL use the term out for the year.

509
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:04,800
Um, when they could have used the term, you know, four game suspension and it would have

510
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:10,800
been better, um, or at least better, better taken in by the casual fans.

511
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:14,800
I saw a lot of casual fans up in all of these bodies being soft and all other stuff.

512
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:17,800
And then Brady went on his defensive as well.

513
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:19,800
Um, so that would be interesting.

514
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:21,800
It'd be interesting to hear Brady in the booth.

515
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:25,800
If a bang bang plan is what happened, what is his immediate opinion?

516
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:28,800
What is his thought right that second night?

517
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:31,800
How to watch it 10 times, type it out, edit it, whatever.

518
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:36,800
What is your, you know, uh, somebody that makes the call to play off.

519
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:37,800
He got makes the call.

520
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:38,800
You're on color commentary.

521
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:40,800
Playoff play makes the call.

522
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:42,800
He goes, what are your thoughts on the hit Tom?

523
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:44,800
What is your immediate reaction?

524
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:50,800
Is it the office has duty to protect the players, the defense was in a bad spot, or is it immediate?

525
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:53,800
Like that's a rough hit and kind of placate around it.

526
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:55,800
And then later offering this ice.

527
00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:58,800
So that'd be interesting what happens with Tom Brady.

528
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:05,800
And then lastly, uh, Justin Houston and Jason Pierpaugh, both have been released and both have cleared waivers from the respective team.

529
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:15,800
So two veteran eight of past rushers looking to join contending teams to add some past help both have been released and cleared waivers.

530
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:25,800
But up next, we're going to shift to our NFL week 16 second.

531
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:59,800
Welcome back into the show.

532
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:05,800
And now we're going to talk about NFL week 16, not the world's best week.

533
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:11,800
When you get this late in the season, not a minute, when you get this late in the season, you're looking for matchups that matter.

534
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:18,800
Four and eight versus three and seven or three and nine only matters to the teams that they have their graphics.

535
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:19,800
I mean, that's to be honest.

536
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:24,800
Um, 10 and two versus one and 14 or whatever.

537
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:31,800
It doesn't matter to anybody because you're going to expect the 10 and four teams to run over the one and 14 team.

538
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:33,800
You're only watching if you're a fan base.

539
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:36,800
You're looking for a lot of eight and seven versus eight and seven.

540
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:46,800
Seven and eight or seven and seven versus eight and six things that nature is what you're kind of looking for games that matter that could really tip a season.

541
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:53,800
And so it was hard to kind of do that this week, but I was able to find a few games for us to talk about with not a world's best week.

542
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:55,800
As far as games that matter to the playoffs.

543
00:33:55,800 --> 00:34:05,800
Now there's a lot of similar records playing, but it's four and I four or not, you know, that doesn't really four and I five and 12, you know, that doesn't really do much for the playoff picture.

544
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:08,800
But the first game we're going to discuss is Lions at Vikings.

545
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:11,800
Not if you're a betting person, the Vikings are three and a half point underdog.

546
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:19,800
As we sit right now, according to ESPN, um, I would go with the Lions there in the wind and the cover.

547
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:21,800
Um, the Lions are hot right now.

548
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:27,800
The Lions have an opportunity to do something that they've never done and that's a lockup thing or they haven't done any very long time.

549
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:29,800
I don't believe that everyone in the NFC North actually.

550
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:39,800
The last division they wanted was the NFC Central or something, but they have an opportunity to do something that no Lions team has done, especially in the forward field era, which is when their division.

551
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:44,800
And they get to do it against the division team and against the division team that's down.

552
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:46,800
Of course, the Vikings don't have curtains.

553
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:54,800
The Viking have the, I eat no conical Jesus with the radius of the Vikings have Nick Mullins filled with the potential of Josh Dobbs coming into the game.

554
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:59,800
Now they're of course getting healthier. Justin Jefferson played last week, made it to the game. He'll play this week.

555
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:05,800
But the Lions have an opportunity here and it's one of those games.

556
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:07,800
They talk about great teams.

557
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,800
Not only win this game, great teams dominate this game.

558
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:16,800
Great teams win this game 35 to 10, 35, 13, 38, 21.

559
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:23,800
You know where there's no question pretty much after the first quarter, who's going to win this game, who's the better team and how dominant are they going to be?

560
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:29,800
And that's pretty much what's happening here with the Lions and the Vikings.

561
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:31,800
I think the Lions will dominate this game.

562
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:36,800
Oh, it was not shocking to see a final score of 38 20 because they have an opportunity here.

563
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:41,800
It's on the road, which is at its at some complications, but it's on the road.

564
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:48,800
It's an opportunity for these two for the Lions to just go out there and showcase that they are for real, that they are ready to go compete with the elite of the elite.

565
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:55,800
They are ready to lock in a home playoff game in Fordfield and they're going to go out there and after they're going to dominate the Vikings.

566
00:35:55,800 --> 00:36:01,800
Jags at Bucks. Jags are one point underdog here.

567
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:04,800
I think it's the bit of prisoner of the moment.

568
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:07,800
The Jags been underdog here feels like a prisoner of the moment.

569
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:14,800
Baker Mayfield just had one of the best game of his career, if I have a close, but he had one of the best games of the NFL season.

570
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:19,800
Passer rating through the roof hardly.

571
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:22,800
I mean, to be I mean, I watched the tape.

572
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:26,800
I didn't see very many must I didn't see very many if any mistakes.

573
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:30,800
It looked like you checked it till the right stuff. Check out of the right stuff.

574
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:33,800
It looked like his decision making was on point.

575
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:36,800
He just looked like a quarterback in control.

576
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:43,800
He finished the game with 22 of 28 381 yards for touchdowns.

577
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:51,800
He did take five sacks, but he had a perfect pass rating of 158.3 and a QBR effectively 79.

578
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:58,800
I mean, absolutely slicing and dicing the Green Bay Packers defense.

579
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:04,800
But and so I think that them being favored, I know they're at home, you can only get three points of being at home.

580
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:09,800
But even them being favored, I think was pretty another moment with the Jags.

581
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:12,800
The Jags were a prisoner moment of both teams.

582
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:18,800
The Jags, I got spoke about earlier, have beaten themselves in two consecutive games.

583
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:20,800
Definitely against the Ravens.

584
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:22,800
I mean, the final score, I believe was 24 to 6.

585
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:25,800
But that game didn't play like 24 to 6.

586
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:27,800
That game played.

587
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:30,800
The final score is 23 to 7. I'm sorry.

588
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:36,800
But that game played like Jags 26 Ravens 20.

589
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:45,800
And then you go to the previous week, the Jaguars went up against the Browns and blew it.

590
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:50,800
You know, that flak go get his rocks off and again, just flat out beat themselves.

591
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:57,800
So it's two consecutive weeks where they beat themselves and they could have locked up the FC South and be the one seed right now in the FC.

592
00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:00,800
You make the whole Super Bowl path go through Jacksonville.

593
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:03,800
But instead they're climbing up, probably not going to be the one seed.

594
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:07,800
And then honestly trying to stave off their division at this point.

595
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:10,800
And so I think it's a bit of a prison in the moment.

596
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:15,800
I don't think the Bugs have the roster capable of making the Jags beat themselves.

597
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:20,800
And I know it's weird if I'm saying they're beating themselves and the Bugs not having the roster to make them do it.

598
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:25,800
But Baltimore was able to apply certain pressures where Jacksonville kind of cracked a little bit.

599
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:28,800
They missed two field goals, pushed one, pulled the second one.

600
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:29,800
It's a classic kicker.

601
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:35,800
Trevor Lawrence in an attempt to what it appeared to me, switch hands and Stiflorn would defend at the same time.

602
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:40,800
As he was switching hand with the ball, Stiflorn came out, so did the ball.

603
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:51,800
And then there was a God awful situation at the end of the half where they got it down to the 10 with like, 9 or so seconds left.

604
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:56,800
And then instead of spiking it, Trevor Lawrence ran a hurry up out route.

605
00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:59,800
The guy gets half an imbalance and the half is over.

606
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:10,800
And so instead of going to the half potentially 9-7, you go into the half 9-0 with a fumble, a run out of clock and two missed field goals for good drizzlers in the first half.

607
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:14,800
We've had five drives, four of them got inside the 30-ish.

608
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:17,800
Three of them had made it inside the red zone.

609
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:19,800
You've come up with zero.

610
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:25,800
And so that's the sort of thing that the thing in the Jags, they were dealing with the Ravens pressure and the pressure of playing the Ravens.

611
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:27,800
And the Bucks don't give it off.

612
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:31,800
Now if Baker comes out first two drives, touchdown, all bets are off. Here we go.

613
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:35,800
But I just don't think the Bucks can do it.

614
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:38,800
Baker's a roller coaster. He's going to go up, he's going to go down.

615
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:40,800
He went about as high as you can go.

616
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:43,800
You kind of get the drift.

617
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:46,800
Cowboys at Dolphins.

618
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:49,800
Cowboys plus one and a half here.

619
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:51,800
Hammer.

620
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:54,800
And I do mean hammer the Dolphins.

621
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:59,800
You saw what just happened to the Cowboys on the road at Buffalo?

622
00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:05,800
To the tune of Josh Allen, 94 passing yards and they were running for 266.

623
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:08,800
You're going to go to a Shanahan disciple.

624
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:10,800
Can't stop the run.

625
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:12,800
Pretty simple run game. Can't stop the run.

626
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:14,800
But they don't know, can't say that.

627
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:17,800
Joe Brady was pulling the backside tackle. That was inventive.

628
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:22,800
But a fairly simple power game just started pulling with the guard you pulled with the tackle.

629
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:29,800
In James Cook, you're going to go to Raheem Moschert and the rest of that crew with Mike Mcgaines

630
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:31,800
with the speed of Tyree Hill and Waddle.

631
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:34,800
And you're going to try to defend that.

632
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:37,800
And the defense doesn't get much easier.

633
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:41,800
To be honest, it doesn't. It's going to hold out easier.

634
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:44,800
And you're going to have to go battle through that now.

635
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:47,800
I think the Dolphins run away and hide from the Cowboys.

636
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:49,800
I mean we've seen what the Cowboys look like on the road.

637
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:51,800
They become the Atlanta Falcons.

638
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:53,800
The Atlanta Falcons against the Dolphins?

639
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:54,800
I wouldn't.

640
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:59,800
So I think the Dolphins run away and hide from the Cowboys here.

641
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:03,800
And that they, the Cowboys, showing people in that about a third quarter,

642
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:06,800
we could be looking at 30 to 10, 30 to 13.

643
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:10,800
The last thing you want to do, get beat to sleep on the road,

644
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:12,800
is to go back on the road.

645
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:15,800
And so they got to deal with the Dolphins now at all their speed.

646
00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:16,800
Two was rolling.

647
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:18,800
He could be the MVP this year.

648
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:21,800
Looking at Perdy and CMC, it might be to him.

649
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:25,800
And so he's absolutely playing rolling right now.

650
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:28,800
I have no ill things to say about to attack my lord right now.

651
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:29,800
I really don't.

652
00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:32,800
But he's absolutely rolling right now.

653
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:35,800
As he's scheduled to get Tyreek Hill back,

654
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:38,800
the Cowboys can be in dire trouble.

655
00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:42,800
Hammer the Dolphins here, if you're a betting man.

656
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:44,800
Bingles at Spearless?

657
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:46,800
Spearless plus two and a half?

658
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:47,800
Hammer.

659
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:51,800
I do mean hammer the bingles.

660
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:55,800
I don't understand this line.

661
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:58,800
A lot of the lines this week, especially in the games I picked,

662
00:41:58,800 --> 00:41:59,800
make sense.

663
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:02,800
For instance, Vikings plus three and a half against the Lions.

664
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:04,800
Okay.

665
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:06,800
In a neutral field, that's six and a half point difference.

666
00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:07,800
I'm with that.

667
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:08,800
Home field three points.

668
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:09,800
Okay, I'm good.

669
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:11,800
Got a touchdown.

670
00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:13,800
Jags plus one of the Bucks.

671
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:15,800
The Bucks got three points for home.

672
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:18,800
I'm with the Bluefield, Jags a little four point favorite.

673
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:20,800
Prisoner of the moment, Jags and Beaton themselves lately.

674
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:22,800
I get it.

675
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:27,800
Cowboys line based on statistics makes sense.

676
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:29,800
Because they can get in the shootout.

677
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:32,800
I don't understand the Bingles' Stealers line.

678
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:35,800
Unless you're telling me that Mike Tomlin's going to mess with

679
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:37,800
Jake Browning so much, he keeps the game close?

680
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:39,800
I don't understand it.

681
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:41,800
Because to me, if the Bingles goes 24 points,

682
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:42,800
they run away and hide with this game.

683
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:43,800
I don't see the Steelers.

684
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:46,800
It's starting to make some room off now instead of the disaster.

685
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:48,800
No, it's with the Chibisky.

686
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:51,800
But I don't see the Steelers go more than 17 points here.

687
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:54,800
So in order for that to happen and plus two and a half to hit,

688
00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:56,800
the Bingles have to go less than 20.

689
00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:58,800
Can you see what I'm saying?

690
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:00,800
It's unlikely.

691
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:01,800
I don't understand the line here.

692
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:03,800
Now this is plus three and a half plus four.

693
00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:04,800
Get it.

694
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:05,800
I'm with you.

695
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:07,800
In a neutral site, they say Bingles plus five and a half.

696
00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:09,800
Bingles minus five and a half.

697
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:10,800
I understand that.

698
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:16,800
Again, I would think plus three and a half plus four here for the Steelers.

699
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:19,800
Not really plus two and a half.

700
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:21,800
You're looking at a Jermaine Chase.

701
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:22,800
You're looking at a T Higgins.

702
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:23,800
You're looking at a Tyler Boy.

703
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:25,800
You're looking at a Joe Mixon.

704
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:28,800
Jake Browning is playing really, really efficiently.

705
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:31,800
I think they go 24, 27, 30.

706
00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:32,800
I don't see the Steelers.

707
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:33,800
They're looking past 17.

708
00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:35,800
So with that being said, hammer the Bingles here.

709
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:37,800
The Bingles is going to win this game.

710
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:43,800
And lastly, Ravens plus five and a half at San Francisco.

711
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:48,800
Take the San Francisco 49ers here.

712
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:50,800
These are two physical teams.

713
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:56,800
These are two quarterbacks who are doing their job fairly well.

714
00:43:56,800 --> 00:44:00,800
You know, you've got Brock Purdy, who's one of the top passers in leagues,

715
00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:01,800
like being less intense.

716
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:04,800
You've got Lamar Jackson, who's trying to overcome the loss of Mark Andrews.

717
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:08,800
His tackles are being hurt all over the place, but his defense is legit.

718
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:09,800
He's making pop plays.

719
00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:10,800
He'll hit Zay Jones.

720
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:12,800
He'll hit Odell Beckham.

721
00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:14,800
He'll dance around himself.

722
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:17,800
So you've got that going on.

723
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:19,800
And they said San Fran.

724
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:21,800
San Fran will pick to win the Super Bowl.

725
00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:23,800
A lot of people say they'll see the Super Bowl preview.

726
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:27,800
There's some weird color thing going around social media about the colors,

727
00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:31,800
the team colors that appear in the Super Bowl ad have gone to the Super Bowl

728
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:34,800
for so many years in a row, and this year was San Fran and Baltimore.

729
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:39,800
So a lot of people say this is the Super Bowl preview.

730
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:42,800
I don't think Baltimore is making out of the AFC,

731
00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:45,800
but I think San Fran is holding the title at the end of this year,

732
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:50,800
which is going to be very dire for my Brock Purdy take.

733
00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:51,800
But I have to eat pro.

734
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:52,800
It is.

735
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:54,800
Unless he plays bad in that game and they still win.

736
00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:56,800
So keep that posted.

737
00:44:56,800 --> 00:45:00,800
But I think San Fran is the best in the football.

738
00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:02,800
This is the most complete team in football.

739
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:04,800
You look at it, they've got two all-pros in the offensive line.

740
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:05,800
They've got an all-pro full back.

741
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:06,800
They've got an all-pro running back.

742
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:10,800
They're probably going to have an all-pro or a pro-bo level quarterback.

743
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:14,800
They've got an all-pro or a pro-bo level receiver, if not two of them.

744
00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:18,800
They've got an all-pro tight end or a pro-bo level tight end.

745
00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:19,800
That's the offense.

746
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:20,800
We're not even going to talk about that defense.

747
00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:22,800
They've got six first-round picks on the D-line.

748
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:25,800
They've got the best midline back in the game.

749
00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:26,800
They've got a pretty solid second-day.

750
00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:27,800
Her fungus hurt.

751
00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:31,800
So the second day is not as crisp and clean as it normally is.

752
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:34,800
But they are ridiculously talented.

753
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:36,800
John Lynch is a great roster there.

754
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:38,800
Kyle Sanderhan is deploying goodwill.

755
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:40,800
And I just got the 49ers winning this game.

756
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:41,800
Plus five and a half.

757
00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:42,800
I still take the 90s.

758
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:45,800
I've got the 49ers winning this game 30 to 17.

759
00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:50,800
I just don't think the Ravens have the guns right now to compete in the site.

760
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:56,800
But up next, we're going to shift to the NBA and talk about us going down with the association.

761
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:27,800
Welcome back into the show.

762
00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:30,800
And now we're going to jump into the association.

763
00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:32,800
Entering tonight's game.

764
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:34,800
So I'm recording this Wednesday night as you guys know.

765
00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:38,800
It's a very typical of me to do some record Wednesday night.

766
00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:40,800
And of course, you'll hear this Thursday morning.

767
00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:46,800
But as it releases Thursday morning, these standings probably won't change a whole lot.

768
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:47,800
Maybe a couple teams will be around.

769
00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:49,800
But the teams themselves will all be there.

770
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:56,800
But out east, we have the Boston Celtics, the Milwaukee Bucks, the Philadelphia 76ers,

771
00:46:56,800 --> 00:47:00,800
the Orlando Magic, the New York Knicks, the Cleveland Cavs.

772
00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:07,800
Those will be the 16 automatically in with no play in tournament to deal with for those organizations.

773
00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:11,800
And then of course, you've got the Miami Heat, the Indiana Pacers, the Brooklyn Nets,

774
00:47:11,800 --> 00:47:14,800
the Toronto Raptors and the Atlanta Hawks.

775
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:19,800
So those teams, the Hawks is the current 11th seed.

776
00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:20,800
They would not be in.

777
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:24,800
But the other teams would be in the play in tournament.

778
00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:27,800
The Hawks and the Raptors actually tied in the Los Colombs.

779
00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:33,800
And then out west, we have the Timberwolves, the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Denver Nuggets,

780
00:47:33,800 --> 00:47:41,800
the Sacramento Kings, the Dallas Mavs, the Red Hot Los Angeles Clippers would be the top six in the west.

781
00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:47,800
They would automatically be in. And then the New Orleans Pelicans, Los Angeles Lakers, the Houston Rockets,

782
00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:51,800
the Phoenix Suns and the Golden State Warriors who won game behind the Suns.

783
00:47:51,800 --> 00:47:58,800
Or the next five, the Pelicans, Lakers, Rockets, Suns would be the play in tournament with the Warriors again at the moment.

784
00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:00,800
One game out.

785
00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:07,800
One team that was not mentioned in those 22 teams I named are the Memphis Grizzlies.

786
00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:13,800
They're currently seven and 19, I believe. There's six games out of eighth.

787
00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:17,800
Six games out of eighth. But they're a while back.

788
00:48:17,800 --> 00:48:24,800
They're struggling right now because they have played their 25 games without John Miranda.

789
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:26,800
That sentence is over.

790
00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:32,800
He arrived last night in New Orleans, much to my chagrin because I am a Pelicans fan.

791
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:39,800
But he arrived last night in New Orleans. They sit six and a half back from the Grizzlies.

792
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:44,800
But he arrived last night in New Orleans, much to my chagrin.

793
00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:48,800
And early the Pelicans dominated. They were up as many as 24 points.

794
00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:50,800
Then the woods came off the bus.

795
00:48:50,800 --> 00:48:53,800
Memphis like turned the intensity up. I don't know if that was a John Miranda effect.

796
00:48:53,800 --> 00:48:57,800
Having him back, turning those guys up, I'm not sure.

797
00:48:57,800 --> 00:49:04,800
But they went to work. John Miranda himself scored 14, I believe, in the fourth quarter.

798
00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:11,800
Including the game-winning buzzer-beating layup over Herb Jones, which is a painful video,

799
00:49:11,800 --> 00:49:15,800
but it's probably hilarious for people, where Dyson tried to come in from behind the blockip,

800
00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:20,800
and he both missed the ball and high-five in the air as John drops in.

801
00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:26,800
The floater bounces around the rim and drops in as time expires to complete his ultimate comeback.

802
00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:31,800
He finished the game with 34 points, 6 rebounds, 8 assists. He looked gasped.

803
00:49:31,800 --> 00:49:35,800
But there was a couple of moments in the game late where they kind of got saved.

804
00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:43,800
There was a review or dispute about something where John Miranda got to rest.

805
00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:47,800
Then the suit and possession on defense, they put him on a person in the corner,

806
00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:50,800
and that person wasn't involved in the action. Got to rest some more.

807
00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:52,800
Then there was a free throw right after that. He got to rest some more.

808
00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:57,800
Then they powered him up for the last minute and a half, two minutes, and they completed the comeback.

809
00:49:57,800 --> 00:50:02,800
T.J. McCullum missed a couple of bad, I mean, missed badly a couple of threes late.

810
00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:05,800
Then if he hits the three, now that's forced the good is to get a three.

811
00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:11,800
Instead of John being able to be tied and go for the layup, he'd be down three, and have to make a shot.

812
00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:17,800
Matt had still hit it the way that game was going, but so he looked great in his return.

813
00:50:17,800 --> 00:50:23,800
He hit the shot at exactly 9-0-1, which is the area code for Memphis.

814
00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:30,800
It is one of those storyline moments. If you believe in scripts or sports, this couldn't get any more scripted.

815
00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:34,800
I mean, he comes back as this great game. Most points ever in a game.

816
00:50:34,800 --> 00:50:38,800
Most points ever in a game, or person's first game back when they missed 25 consecutive games.

817
00:50:38,800 --> 00:50:43,800
So he needs some long, thin to break. He has the most points ever in the first game back.

818
00:50:43,800 --> 00:50:49,800
He hit it right at 9-0-1, which is Memphis area code. He does it in a 24 point comeback.

819
00:50:49,800 --> 00:50:52,800
He does it against Zion Williams, who was the number one pick in his draft.

820
00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:55,800
He was in a job with number two. He does it on the road.

821
00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:57,800
The only thing that would have been better, probably, was in Memphis.

822
00:50:57,800 --> 00:51:01,800
But he does it on the road. His dad's in the crowd.

823
00:51:01,800 --> 00:51:10,800
He's the buzzer beater. Like, I'd say outside of it being in Memphis, I don't see how this could have been any more perfectly storyline for John.

824
00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:16,800
Which, considering he probably feels like it's him against the world, for the most part, probably on the road was better.

825
00:51:16,800 --> 00:51:24,800
You know, with him, you know, Zion, you know, Brandon, he stayed with Brandon, then he got the lead in his comeback.

826
00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:29,800
He has 34, 6, and 8. He hits the game winner. He gets the post game interview.

827
00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:35,800
And it's just, it was a story there. And it was a great moment to watch.

828
00:51:35,800 --> 00:51:43,800
Like I said, I have to remove the fan me being a Pelican fan and observe the moment, especially this person's media.

829
00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:50,800
And it was, it was a dope moment. I can't even lie to you. It was pretty cool to see.

830
00:51:50,800 --> 00:51:56,800
So Kudos to John Morant. I hope he keeps his head on straight. He's an absolute joy to watch.

831
00:51:56,800 --> 00:52:00,800
And I hope that he is one of the faces of the lead.

832
00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:07,800
Very, very long time. Along with Zion, of course, as Luca, but in the NBA, traditionally in American face.

833
00:52:07,800 --> 00:52:19,800
So I'm hoping this John Morant, Zion Williamson, that group Tatum, Cooper Flags coming up, that group that really elevates the NBA to another level.

834
00:52:19,800 --> 00:52:26,800
We spoke about it earlier. Man, those red hot Los Angeles Clippers, they've won eight straight.

835
00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:33,800
They've won, oh man, I want to say 12 of the last 13 or something like that.

836
00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:37,800
13 of the last 14 somehow raised this number and they've done it. James Hardnett point guard.

837
00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:44,800
Russell Westbrook's minutes has greatly diminished and they're running James Hardnett point guard and he is absolutely cooking people.

838
00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:52,800
Because now, instead of Russ bringing it up as a non shooting threat and then kick to harden, now Russ becomes a non shooting threat.

839
00:52:52,800 --> 00:52:57,800
Everybody's getting helped off and helping off Russ at all times. Russ is not really playing.

840
00:52:57,800 --> 00:53:03,800
So now it's the bunch of dangerous opponents, Zubox and the pain. You've got to shoot, you've got Koai, you've got PG, you've got Hardnett.

841
00:53:03,800 --> 00:53:12,800
You've got to make a decision. And that decision for most people has been let Hardnett go and he's been going.

842
00:53:12,800 --> 00:53:19,800
He hit a clutch and won three recent yield into the crowd. I mean, he looks like James Hardnett.

843
00:53:19,800 --> 00:53:24,800
He looks like contract here, James Hardnett. He looks like I need to prove myself again, James Hardnett.

844
00:53:24,800 --> 00:53:29,800
He's absolutely rolling. The Clippers are rolling. Everything's going swimmingly in Clipperland.

845
00:53:29,800 --> 00:53:39,800
They're right now the better team in LA, which they've been regular season, record wise for the vast majority of the Lebron era with the Lakers.

846
00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:45,800
Resting when they got Koai and PG, they've been the better regular season team for the vast majority of that time period.

847
00:53:45,800 --> 00:53:55,800
And so right now they're rolling again. They're flew past the Lakers and the standings and the Lakers hung their N-Season banner, which again is a banner the Clippers don't have.

848
00:53:55,800 --> 00:54:01,800
And with the Clippers, it's just absolutely rolling right now. Kudo is for those guys.

849
00:54:01,800 --> 00:54:09,800
And now you're probably thinking, okay, Justin's been a little too nice to the Clippers.

850
00:54:09,800 --> 00:54:17,800
You guys know how I feel about the entire collection of people. Russell Westbrook, you're not going to win him as your primary decision maker.

851
00:54:17,800 --> 00:54:20,800
He's not going to win if he's a key contributor to your team.

852
00:54:20,800 --> 00:54:27,800
Russell's basically out there. Like he plays, but doesn't really matter.

853
00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:33,800
Okay? James Hardnett cannot be a focal point of your offense.

854
00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:38,800
He's the point gone pretty much in spearheading their offense. That's not going to work.

855
00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:44,800
Kowaii Laird has yet to get hurt. He's yet to get injured. Rene's been in my time.

856
00:54:44,800 --> 00:54:49,800
Now going to work. Paul George has been routinely under the past couple of years, especially late.

857
00:54:49,800 --> 00:55:00,800
Waiting on that and Tyron Lewis only shown the ability of the championship level head coach when he's coaching the greatest basketball player to ever dribble, which is LeBron James.

858
00:55:00,800 --> 00:55:07,800
I don't see LeBron James on the Clippers, especially in the prime LeBron James.

859
00:55:07,800 --> 00:55:16,800
So therefore I'm still standing by the fact that the Clippers won't see the third round, neither with the Phoenix Suns, because they can't stay healthy.

860
00:55:16,800 --> 00:55:23,800
And their thing, and they don't play defense, is almost as if I said it when they made the trades. Whatever.

861
00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:30,800
But the Clippers will not play meaningful games in late May. It's not what they're built to do.

862
00:55:30,800 --> 00:55:36,800
They're built to be entertaining in the regular season and to flame out and people go, what happened to the Clippers when they lose?

863
00:55:36,800 --> 00:55:41,800
Right now they because of the nuggets and they would lose to the nuggets in five games.

864
00:55:41,800 --> 00:55:45,800
It doesn't matter what James Harden does. It doesn't matter what Kauai Leonard does.

865
00:55:45,800 --> 00:55:50,800
As long as Paul George does, they'd be out in five because James Harden is not a playoff performer.

866
00:55:50,800 --> 00:55:55,800
Kauai Leonard's body doesn't stay healthy at long and PG is neither of those things.

867
00:55:55,800 --> 00:56:01,800
So that is a downside for the Clippers. But hey, great A-game win streak.

868
00:56:01,800 --> 00:56:07,800
I actually am quite impressed. I don't want to talk about casting there. I actually am quite impressed. How good they're looking.

869
00:56:07,800 --> 00:56:12,800
Then a couple of shooter news. Damian Lillard joined the 20,000 point club.

870
00:56:12,800 --> 00:56:16,800
Congratulations to Damian Lillard. He had a great game when he broke it.

871
00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:21,800
But he has joined the 20,000 point club. Right, there's only one person, the 40,000 points.

872
00:56:21,800 --> 00:56:32,800
Then Steph Curry's mind blowing streak of 284 consecutive games with a 3 pointer made was snapped against the Wizards.

873
00:56:32,800 --> 00:56:36,800
Ironically, I think it was the Wizards. Raptors? Wizards. Somebody not that good.

874
00:56:36,800 --> 00:56:41,800
But his streak was snapped. He started it back up last night against Celtics.

875
00:56:41,800 --> 00:56:49,800
But his streak, I think it dated back to like 2018 of 284 consecutive games making a 3 pointer was snapped.

876
00:56:49,800 --> 00:56:54,800
They had a couple of good looks at one late and just dated didn't go in.

877
00:56:54,800 --> 00:57:04,800
So, and then of course against the Celtics, he's flicking up shots late and draining them like moonballs and then draining them and hitting the night night celebration.

878
00:57:04,800 --> 00:57:11,800
So he's back. But you know, just for that one game, he was off and his streak was snapped.

879
00:57:11,800 --> 00:57:20,800
But up next, we're going to have Jack's Hot Take, which is going to be a discussion about the early signing period and the transfer report.

880
00:57:41,800 --> 00:58:02,800
Welcome back into the show and welcome into Jack's Hot Take, which is going to be a talk about the college football landscape of early signing day transfer, etc.

881
00:58:02,800 --> 00:58:07,800
So as you guys know, if you listen to me, I'm sure more than a couple of you know, I coach on football.

882
00:58:07,800 --> 00:58:12,800
And I'm also really into big sports, obviously. And one of my favorite sports is college football.

883
00:58:12,800 --> 00:58:16,800
And so when I was growing up, the transfer portal didn't exist.

884
00:58:16,800 --> 00:58:20,800
And I'm not that old, more than 26, but the transfer portal didn't exist as a kid.

885
00:58:20,800 --> 00:58:24,800
If you transferred from a school, you cannot stay at the same level.

886
00:58:24,800 --> 00:58:36,800
If you want to stay the same level, you were in Elger before you hear coaches traditionally blocked you from the conference and blocked you from anybody that was going to be on the schedule the rest of your collegiate career.

887
00:58:36,800 --> 00:58:49,800
So if you were, let's say you were at LSU and you wanted to transfer to Miami, well, LSU couldn't block you from playing, from going to anywhere.

888
00:58:49,800 --> 00:58:53,800
So if you want to stay from LSU, you want to stay at the same level. You were interested in Miami.

889
00:58:53,800 --> 00:59:02,800
LSU could restrict your transfer. You can't stay in the conference and you can't go to anyone on the schedule for the next two to three years, whatever.

890
00:59:02,800 --> 00:59:09,800
Unless you're Elger really, if Miami was in final mode of registration for some reason, you can go to Miami.

891
00:59:09,800 --> 00:59:16,800
So now you were in a bad spot with your coaching staff. And if you want to transfer to Miami, you couldn't because they put restrictions in you.

892
00:59:16,800 --> 00:59:21,800
That was a part of your condition for being released from your scholarship commitments.

893
00:59:21,800 --> 00:59:26,800
So that put a lot of pressure on people. People often would say, okay, I'm not going to do that.

894
00:59:26,800 --> 00:59:32,800
What I'll do is I'll go down. See, came to believe in Florida being at Blaine College.

895
00:59:32,800 --> 00:59:37,800
FBS to Juco was a bit far. A lot of people with FBS.

896
00:59:37,800 --> 00:59:44,800
Well, if you FBS, football, bolder subdivision to Juco, you could come back up immediately.

897
00:59:44,800 --> 00:59:55,800
That's why he went from Florida to Blaine, down there at that Blaine, back up to Auburn because there was no restriction there because he was Juco.

898
00:59:55,800 --> 01:00:01,800
If you went to FCS and you tried to come back up, you were stuck a year.

899
01:00:01,800 --> 01:00:06,800
So climbing a level, you're out of year, same level, you're out of year.

900
01:00:06,800 --> 01:00:12,800
Going down your LGBT immediately, going to Juco, your LGBT immediately, Juco up your LGBT immediately.

901
01:00:12,800 --> 01:00:14,800
Cool. Let's get the rest of that away.

902
01:00:14,800 --> 01:00:18,800
Well, in this thing, a few years ago, I got popular because of the transfer portal.

903
01:00:18,800 --> 01:00:29,800
That was when a whole bunch of kids were unnamed in the transfer portal. Not a whole lot of kids are unnamed in the transfer portal.

904
01:00:29,800 --> 01:00:33,800
Then the Insta-88 instituted a rule of the one-time free transfer.

905
01:00:33,800 --> 01:00:38,800
And it was designed, I believe for COVID, but it was a one-time free transfer.

906
01:00:38,800 --> 01:00:45,800
The argument was how can a coach recruit a kid and then leave the kid and the kid stuck?

907
01:00:45,800 --> 01:00:52,800
One of the arguments, my argument was how can you hold a kid to a community of 17, 18 years old?

908
01:00:52,800 --> 01:00:56,800
Next, for the rest of his life, he's held to that decision.

909
01:00:56,800 --> 01:01:00,800
It's not like he committed a crime and not his service sentence.

910
01:01:00,800 --> 01:01:10,800
He simply chose effectively the wrong place of employment and you're going to dictate the rest of his life off, again, effectively choosing the wrong place of employment.

911
01:01:10,800 --> 01:01:16,800
Every other student on campus can, there may be a little penalty, but like, for me, I went to Southeastern.

912
01:01:16,800 --> 01:01:26,800
If I had decided how this would lose any university, if I had decided and at one point I was considering it to go to undergrad at LSU, I would lose a couple of credits, but I'd be allowed to move.

913
01:01:26,800 --> 01:01:28,800
You see what I'm saying?

914
01:01:28,800 --> 01:01:34,800
If, let's say, Tachy Curtis, he's a USC transfer.

915
01:01:34,800 --> 01:01:45,800
Before the transfer, before the one-time free transfer, he would have had to play at Northwestern State or go all the way down to Juco and then come back up.

916
01:01:45,800 --> 01:01:54,800
You know, and that was a dangerous game because what if, you know, the coaches, you know, they say LSU won't let them send you to Juco we like and then we'll get you back.

917
01:01:54,800 --> 01:02:04,800
But if he gets hurt there, he's not tied to anybody. He's not, you know, there's no, you know, you can't write out on paper.

918
01:02:04,800 --> 01:02:14,800
Transfer to Blend College will get you after a year. That's a wink-wink phone call agreement that you go to this college, play well, develop your world, make sure it works, and then you'll come back up to us.

919
01:02:14,800 --> 01:02:17,800
There's, I mean, there's no guarantee of that, right?

920
01:02:17,800 --> 01:02:32,800
So then they put in the one-time transfer rule and the portal got active because now guys who were second, third strings with the same class, let's say you and another quarterback came in together, you lost the battle, whatever, you're on the same grade, you're on the same class.

921
01:02:32,800 --> 01:02:38,800
Well, you would have to register to try to avoid them and even then you don't have one year left and that's saying you beat the other guys that come in.

922
01:02:38,800 --> 01:02:50,800
And then you're on the same grade, quarterbacks flew in the portal, linemen flew in the portal, kickers flew in the portal because now they were able to try and make their own opportunity.

923
01:02:50,800 --> 01:02:57,800
These days is pretty much a free-fraud transfer portal. I don't believe it's a one-time rule. I think you can do whatever you want in the transfer portal now.

924
01:02:57,800 --> 01:03:15,800
But what people say was, oh, this is taking the opportunity from the high school kid. This is killing the high school kid. This is ruining the high school opportunity because, for instance, one school just took a visit to SMU, a whole school went, and the coach turned around and now says players at SMU are taking five freshmen this year.

925
01:03:15,800 --> 01:03:23,800
I think it's four or five freshmen. Out of a class of 30 something, they're going to take five freshmen, the rest are going to be transfers.

926
01:03:23,800 --> 01:03:31,800
Now it's a little bit different. SMU, they have a new staff. C. Dion San is what he did in Colorado, even though most of his class had signed today, it was freshmen too.

927
01:03:31,800 --> 01:03:44,800
And that big left tackle that made the big thing about going on undisputed and committing to Colorado and help players like us, didn't sign today and it looked like you're going to go to Maryland and a bidding war.

928
01:03:44,800 --> 01:03:52,800
So that whole big stink was power play. Good for that kid. But it hurts Dion because he was going to count on that kid. Anyway, whatever.

929
01:03:52,800 --> 01:04:03,800
So they're going to take five freshmen out of a class of 30 something. Five of them are going to be high school kids. Okay, that hurts, right? It does.

930
01:04:03,800 --> 01:04:18,800
But what about the kid? What about early signing period? My contention is that early signing period hurts more than the transfer report.

931
01:04:18,800 --> 01:04:26,800
Because the transfer report on Maycheap, the fringe FBS guy or the fringe guy at a level and make him go down a level.

932
01:04:26,800 --> 01:04:34,800
But then if he can simply ball out on that level and transfer back up, maybe get a better opportunity. Maybe he was a fringe guy for the FCS level.

933
01:04:34,800 --> 01:04:45,800
He goes to D2, balls at D2 gets in the portal and now he's power five. You know, now he's whatever because he said they had that chance to grow.

934
01:04:45,800 --> 01:04:53,800
So to me, that doesn't hurt them. I think the early signing period does more damage. Here's why they changed the calendar.

935
01:04:53,800 --> 01:05:04,800
So what happened was it put national recruiting to the forefront first because usually you try and lock in your state through December Christmas New Year.

936
01:05:04,800 --> 01:05:11,800
And then whenever you don't feel like you're locked in commitment wise, that next cycle you are the established national relationship.

937
01:05:11,800 --> 01:05:17,800
But now that it's all American games, they're about uncommitted talent, you can talk to these guys, whatever.

938
01:05:17,800 --> 01:05:22,800
Now you have to focus on those guys before they even get to early signing period.

939
01:05:22,800 --> 01:05:30,800
So now, for instance, look at LSU for instance, they had 27 commitments, all 27 signed today.

940
01:05:30,800 --> 01:05:35,800
So LSU is not evaluating another high school player in the rest of the cycle. They were 125.

941
01:05:35,800 --> 01:05:41,800
No other class of 2024 player will be signed to LSU. Maybe two or three.

942
01:05:41,800 --> 01:05:45,800
Maybe that's not even counting the transfers that come in. That's all fresh.

943
01:05:45,800 --> 01:06:00,800
You know, I said maybe two or three. But now that friends guy who maybe got that spin the block look on February when two of the commitments flip, he's not getting that look anymore.

944
01:06:00,800 --> 01:06:06,800
You look at, I look at an FCS. Southeastern is going to sign most of that class this year.

945
01:06:06,800 --> 01:06:12,800
What happens if it is a left tackle somewhere who's actually pretty good but didn't really get put out there.

946
01:06:12,800 --> 01:06:18,800
When not his spots not available, they would have been a, he would have had a chance to be evaluated for February signing day.

947
01:06:18,800 --> 01:06:24,800
He doesn't get a chance to be evaluated for December. That spot's gone. Now he's not available to that spot.

948
01:06:24,800 --> 01:06:35,800
So yeah, the transfer portal is an opportunity. It's a hurting because instead of being a 25 freshman class and two or three transfers, it's six, seven freshmen at the big, big, big level.

949
01:06:35,800 --> 01:06:45,800
Man, it's about big, big, I mean like first year coaches instead of being 50 freshmen or 40 freshmen, they're getting 45 transfers and five freshmen or six freshmen because the pressure to win immediately is so great.

950
01:06:45,800 --> 01:06:53,800
But unless you decide 27 freshmen, Alabama just signed 20 some odd freshmen. Georgia signed 20 some odd freshmen.

951
01:06:53,800 --> 01:07:00,800
But Dion is still transfer porcelain because he has to win that. Those are the four years that have been established.

952
01:07:00,800 --> 01:07:12,800
But those friends players who popped this year, now aren't getting an opportunity at the next level, at the level that they should be on because they're not ready for early signing period.

953
01:07:12,800 --> 01:07:22,800
They would have all this left for the fifth year. So to me, the early signing period does as much if not more damage to the high school prospect than the transfer portal.

954
01:07:22,800 --> 01:07:31,800
But that is all I have for today. I think you guys for joining me. We want to live over an hour here. So I appreciate you guys rocking in with me.

955
01:07:31,800 --> 01:07:38,800
My audio issues are fixed. Pratially, I believe we're good there. I think you guys for rocking out with me.

956
01:07:38,800 --> 01:07:43,800
Merry Christmas. I won't talk to you guys again before Christmas. I talked to you guys between Christmas and New Year.

957
01:07:43,800 --> 01:07:54,800
Merry Christmas to all of you guys and your friends, your family. I hope you have a great day. I hope the blood of Jesus covers you all as you celebrate Christmas and enjoy.

958
01:07:54,800 --> 01:07:59,800
Talk to the kids on break. Have a great break. Stay safe to the parents.

959
01:07:59,800 --> 01:08:08,800
Hunker down for a couple of weeks to my fellow teachers and coaches. Enjoy the break. Watch some basketball. Watch some football. Really enjoy yourselves.

960
01:08:08,800 --> 01:08:14,800
But that is all I have for today. This is your owner and host, Justin Jackson. Signing out.

961
01:09:08,800 --> 01:09:13,800
Thank you.
