11
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:32,360
Welcome into the show, a very special show.

12
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:37,520
I'm recording on a Tuesday night, so you guys will hear this Wednesday morning.

13
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:43,280
Very excited to be with you guys in this football playoff episode.

14
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,160
So we're not talking basketball.

15
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:50,440
I don't care about Major League Baseball, even though they're in their winter off season.

16
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:51,440
I don't care about hockey.

17
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,440
I don't care less what's going on there.

18
00:01:54,440 --> 00:02:00,960
I'm not going to talk about anything unless it's a football playoff.

19
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:05,040
And there's only two of them happening, or have been happening, and that is the college

20
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:09,280
football playoff and of course the NFL playoffs begin this weekend.

21
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:15,040
So we're going to go back and do a recap of the college football playoff.

22
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,280
That game was dominant.

23
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:24,480
And the final score is actually closer than the game was, but at the same time, the dominant

24
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:30,680
aspect of how the game was played showed up in the final score.

25
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:34,200
And I was live tweeting it, drive for drive for the most part.

26
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:38,240
I missed a couple of drives in the third quarter, man, the clouds heating.

27
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,320
But you know, a couple of drives in the third quarter I didn't miss, but I was going drive

28
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,080
for drive for the most part.

29
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,920
Michigan had multiple opportunities in that game before they blew it open in the fourth

30
00:02:46,920 --> 00:02:47,920
quarter.

31
00:02:47,920 --> 00:02:52,760
They had multiple opportunities in that game to blow Washington out of the water.

32
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:54,880
Michael Pennings was off.

33
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:59,520
And of course that's a conspiracy theory floating around.

34
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,320
You know, he made a lot of money that night and he was hurt and he was injured.

35
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,520
I mean, he was hurt, he was paid to lose or whatever.

36
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:12,760
No, look, if we're going to do that with freshman sports, let's just cancel the sports.

37
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:14,160
Michigan was a better football team.

38
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:19,160
Michigan, I told you guys last week, honestly could have been the number one team all year.

39
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:24,080
The only reason why they weren't is because Georgia hadn't lost for two and a half years.

40
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:29,520
And so people kind of was like, until Georgia lose, they can't come down, which total respect.

41
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,760
You keep being undefeated, you're doing something right.

42
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,960
But Michigan played like the best football team all year.

43
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:42,600
Even when Jim Harbaugh got suspended, that Michigan team under Sharon Moore was when

44
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,200
he was on game day.

45
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:45,680
They dominated Penn State.

46
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:47,480
They won the Ohio State game.

47
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,960
I forgot the other game that they won.

48
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,920
But they won three big conference games coming down the stretch.

49
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:57,760
Of course, Harbaugh comes back full-fledged for the postseason and they finished off 15-0

50
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,880
season for team 144, as they called them in Michigan.

51
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:05,560
Because Michigan doesn't think about, oh, it's been, they don't think of, you know,

52
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:12,240
how LSU fans, for instance, think of the 2019 LSU, 2003 LSU, 2007 LSU.

53
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:16,600
When this past year's offense was spectacular, Michigan does team whatever year of football

54
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:17,600
they're in.

55
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:23,360
So team 144 delivers the first ever on field championship for the University of Michigan

56
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:28,200
as they began playing football in 1880.

57
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:29,200
But back to the game.

58
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:36,160
So when you look at that game, that game was a matchup of two developed rosters.

59
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:40,320
This is regards going into the game, it was highly publicized.

60
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:47,960
This is going to be the worst by recruiting ranked champion in the past like 10, 20 years.

61
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:53,360
In terms of the average star ranking on the team, et cetera, based on high school recruiting,

62
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:54,880
this is going to be a developmental championship.

63
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:56,880
Meaning these guys weren't very highly recruited.

64
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:00,080
Maybe they were highly recruited, but they weren't the five stars everybody wanted.

65
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,440
They weren't really the upper level four stars everybody wanted.

66
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:06,000
This is a lot of mid-level fours, three-star, two-star guys.

67
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:07,880
Transferal portal guys in the case of Washington.

68
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:11,000
You look at their leader Michael Pennings.

69
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:12,560
Developed guys in the case of Blake Quarman.

70
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:13,560
You look at Michigan.

71
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:19,240
J.J. McCarthy was a pretty decent and highly rated recruit, but by average of star rating,

72
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:23,760
this was the lowest, regardless of which team won, the lowest national champion in like

73
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:25,760
the past 10 or 20 years.

74
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,440
The problem was Michigan had more raw talent.

75
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,280
We're going to put it up there.

76
00:05:30,280 --> 00:05:32,520
Michigan had more raw talent.

77
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,120
Washington's only hope going into the game.

78
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:36,120
I thought it'd be a shootout.

79
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:40,440
I think I predicted 34-31, 34-30 somewhere in there.

80
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:41,920
Michigan hit 34 in the head.

81
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:45,080
Washington, if they were to flip their digits around, would have hit them in the head.

82
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,080
They ended with 13.

83
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:54,080
Washington's only chance in that game was to outspeed Michigan using the dunze and the

84
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,960
rest of that vertical and horizontal passing attack.

85
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:01,480
It's how speed Michigan and for Johnson, I think it's on the back thing, who got hurt

86
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:07,120
in the first play, who came into the game injured, for Johnson to be effective.

87
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,680
I don't mean three yards a pop second and seven.

88
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,280
Then now Penich is throwing a second and third down.

89
00:06:13,280 --> 00:06:15,600
First down carry, six, now second and four.

90
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:16,600
Now they can either run it again.

91
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,800
We know the play action game's involved.

92
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,840
Now those corners are saying they have to keep their eyes on the run game.

93
00:06:21,840 --> 00:06:28,960
That's when the dunze and the rest of the group start flying around.

94
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:33,880
He suffered a high ankle sprain, the running back dead in the first play of the game.

95
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:35,880
After that, he gutted through the game.

96
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:36,880
He played the whole game.

97
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:40,200
He gutted it through, but you can tell he wasn't there.

98
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:41,200
He said it after the game.

99
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,200
He said, I was diagnosed with a high ankle sprain.

100
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:48,160
What was I going to do, sit?

101
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,120
He gutted it through the whole game.

102
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,800
Kudos to him for some absolute toughness.

103
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,560
Trevor Lawrence, people thought it was a miracle when he came back from a high ankle sprain

104
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:57,640
the next week.

105
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,720
These guys suffered a high ankle sprain and played the rest of the game and got carries.

106
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,920
It wasn't like he was a decoy just to be in there.

107
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,280
He got carries up the middle, stretches, everything.

108
00:07:06,280 --> 00:07:12,000
They kept the offense fairly similar to where they normally is for Washington.

109
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:16,600
The issue was Michigan no longer feared their own game.

110
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,400
When you allow a defensive coordinator, Michigan has two.

111
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:20,400
No.

112
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:21,400
Michigan has two.

113
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:22,400
Whatever.

114
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:27,520
When you allow a defensive coordinator, a defensive staff, to not worry about one attack,

115
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:28,520
he makes it hard.

116
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:29,520
Right?

117
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,000
You can see it on both sides.

118
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:36,560
Michigan, after Johnson got hurt, no longer cared about the run game.

119
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,800
They were willing to go with four and to have the linebacker fill in the gap.

120
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:41,240
They weren't really run blitzing anymore.

121
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:42,240
They were pass blitzing.

122
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,200
If they were going to blitz, they were sending pass blitzes.

123
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,420
They were doing everything they can to disrupt Michael Panics because they no longer had

124
00:07:48,420 --> 00:07:50,320
to concern themselves with stopping the run.

125
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:55,480
Instead of being a dynamic back in the backfield, it was a pretty average running back because

126
00:07:55,480 --> 00:08:00,160
he was on one leg put together, a high ankle sprained on one, and then came in with a knee

127
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:04,160
injury on the other.

128
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:09,680
That allowed that Michigan defense, specifically those linebackers, to when they did the... Both

129
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:13,880
linebackers were in the line and they bailed out, they didn't even have to worry about

130
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,920
man, we might have to put our foot in the dirt and come back down because the running

131
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,040
back couldn't make that much noise.

132
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:24,120
Plus the Michigan D-line overmatched the Washington O-line all night.

133
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,800
It looked a lot like when UCLA played Colorado.

134
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:33,040
I noticed UCLA, because Colorado has such a poor offensive line, UCLA did everything

135
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:34,640
they could to make one-on-one blocks.

136
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:40,480
Because if I can double team, if I can slide to a weak blocker, whatever, I can help out.

137
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,760
For instance, the weak blocker on Washington last night was 73.

138
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:48,880
73 had several, a couple of big holdings, had a bad fall start.

139
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,200
73 was their weak link.

140
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:56,360
So I'm sure in that game, the offense would have loved to slide his way, chip with the

141
00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:00,680
running back, do things to try and help him out a little bit against that Michigan edge

142
00:09:00,680 --> 00:09:01,680
rush.

143
00:09:01,680 --> 00:09:05,560
The problem was what Michigan decided to do was they decided to pre-snap, show you man

144
00:09:05,560 --> 00:09:06,560
on man.

145
00:09:06,560 --> 00:09:11,000
When I mean man on man is you have five blockers.

146
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:16,160
So Michigan would walk both linebackers down, maybe even an overhanging player to one side

147
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,920
and put six on the line, or five or six on the line.

148
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:22,940
So now the old lineman has to point, that's my guy, this is my guy.

149
00:09:22,940 --> 00:09:25,360
So everybody's acknowledged one-on-one.

150
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:32,440
When those linebackers would bail, those people who were supposed to block the linebackers,

151
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,160
it's impossible for them to immediately shift to helping.

152
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:38,100
Because number one, that's not in the blocking scheme.

153
00:09:38,100 --> 00:09:41,920
Number two, the guy you would help isn't expecting your help.

154
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:48,040
So he's not, for instance, that tackle over kick-stepping to make the D-end come in, and

155
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,480
then you have a help guard.

156
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:54,800
Or if you're a guard, you're not trying to push your guys to the outside because you

157
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:58,240
have tackle help, or shove your guy inside because you have center help, you're thinking

158
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,360
in your mind it's one-on-one.

159
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,120
So now the guards in this scenario are useless.

160
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,440
They're just standing there blocking air because they were accounting for the linebackers.

161
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:10,360
So now both tackles and the center are effectively one-on-one.

162
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,560
And Michigan was taking advantage of that matchup all night.

163
00:10:13,560 --> 00:10:17,920
It also meant the running back hesitate because if it's six people up there, we got five

164
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:21,720
of his linemen, somebody has to come free, which means either the running back becomes

165
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:25,520
the hot route or he has to stay in the help block.

166
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:29,880
So now when those linebackers and those guys were bailing out, the running back now guarded

167
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:31,960
himself for a second or two.

168
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:35,280
Now at that time, so those linebackers had a chance to get depth before the running back

169
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:36,280
even came out of the backfield.

170
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:44,960
I mean, it was a great strategy by Michigan, and they hit Pennings all night.

171
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:51,240
Now there were some opportunities for Pennings to really come back in this game, and the

172
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:57,400
announcing crew repeatedly showed plays where I think because of that simulated pressure,

173
00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:02,080
he was kind of pre-read the defense, and they were mixing up a lot of the post-snap, pre-snap

174
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:03,280
reads.

175
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:07,920
The big throw, of course, if you already remember, the fourth down play, which if he hits it,

176
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,320
Washington probably scores that position, ties the game up.

177
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,520
We could be having a different conversation right now.

178
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:18,480
Third play call, a doomsday pops wide open, Pennings misses the throw.

179
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:24,960
In that second half, as it was 17-10, they ended up in 20-13 in the third quarter, Pennings

180
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:28,520
missed not the throw, but the read a couple of times.

181
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,400
He had a doomsday on a crossing route.

182
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:34,240
He ended up throwing an out route to the opposite of the field.

183
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:35,240
Oh no, that was the pick.

184
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:39,640
The pick to end the game, a doomsday, one of the picks in the second half, a doomsday

185
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:42,560
is coming across the field on a dig route.

186
00:11:42,560 --> 00:11:46,680
He tries to force the ball in, I don't know what Pennings was doing here, tries to force

187
00:11:46,680 --> 00:11:50,160
the ball in, felt like he predetermined that he wanted to throw it.

188
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,160
Crazy part of his wasn't a bad throw.

189
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:56,280
If his receiver was sitting down in that zone instead of running through it, he probably

190
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:59,640
hits him in the chest in the middle of four Michigan defenders.

191
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:06,120
The issue is he doesn't sit, he keeps running, and the ball hits a Michigan player in the

192
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:07,120
chest.

193
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:12,040
Then there was another play, I think it was an interception, an intermission, incompletion,

194
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:16,960
where the tight end pops right up the seam by himself.

195
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,680
There's nobody there.

196
00:12:19,680 --> 00:12:22,480
For a quarterback with Pennings' arm, that's an easy throw.

197
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,080
His thighs are right through the middle of the gap, the tight end walks into the end

198
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:26,080
zone.

199
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:33,080
Again, it could be 20 to 20, we're having another conversation here, potentially.

200
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:34,560
He just missed it.

201
00:12:34,560 --> 00:12:41,040
Then what also happened in the second half was something that if you guys watch from

202
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,480
Michigan, I love hardball, so I watch Michigan a lot.

203
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:50,840
If you notice, Michigan would get into games where they look up and go, the other team

204
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,840
can't beat us.

205
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:54,840
They can't do it.

206
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:59,080
I don't know if that's a Jim Harbaugh call, I don't know if the defensive coordinator,

207
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,240
defensive staff, they can't score.

208
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,440
I don't know if that's a Sherone Moore just observing.

209
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:09,920
Man, that other offense isn't moving it very much.

210
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,960
They kind of go into modes where they don't throw the ball.

211
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:18,520
You saw that at Penn State where the whole fourth quarter, McCarthy basically turned

212
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:24,600
around and handed the ball to Corm and Donovan and just pounded Penn State into oblivion.

213
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:29,880
They did it the year before the Penn State, they ran it 26 times and ran the game out

214
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:30,880
against Penn State.

215
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:34,040
They did it again this year towards the end of the game, they just stopped throwing the

216
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:35,040
ball.

217
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,040
Against Ohio State, they just stopped throwing the ball.

218
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,160
We're just going to out-physical you.

219
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:42,360
McCarthy made a couple of big throws against Ohio State, but for the most part, that was

220
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:47,400
a lot of two and seven coming downhill at Ohio State.

221
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:49,240
They were just better than Iowa.

222
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:54,720
In the Alabama game, in that second half, it gained to be a lot of two and seven.

223
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:58,920
Of course, in overtime, it was Blake Corm right on the power and they ran the exact

224
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:02,880
same play like they flipped it in Madden and ran it left and scored.

225
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:09,240
Then this game, that first quarter, Michigan came out to physically dominate this game.

226
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:18,240
They wanted to show Michigan, you guys cannot physically match up with us.

227
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:23,440
Donovan Wilson, I think it's his name, I'm sorry if it's not, Donovan Wilson pops two

228
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:27,480
big long runs in that first quarter.

229
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:34,120
He goes two carries, like 87 yards and two touchdowns in the first quarter.

230
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:35,880
Blake Corm wears him down as well.

231
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:39,920
Michigan actually went into the half with 200 yards rushing.

232
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:41,360
Here's what's the interesting part about that.

233
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:48,120
Remember how I spoke about a few minutes ago, Washington had no run game.

234
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,440
So Michigan just began to stop the pass.

235
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:53,600
So now Penn is dealing with a crazy stunt that you don't know where it's coming from

236
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:55,600
because the front looks the same every time.

237
00:14:55,600 --> 00:15:00,480
It's either nobody, it's everybody, it's one person, it's a twist, it's a game.

238
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:03,280
It was all kind of stuff happening.

239
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:07,080
For Michael Penn, his eye sight is a line.

240
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,680
He's also dealing with the fact that it's a blanket cover because everybody's dropping

241
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:11,400
out.

242
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:19,080
Michigan had the exact other problem, the 2-V-T other problem.

243
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:20,200
They weren't throwing the ball.

244
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:21,360
McCarthy was off.

245
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:29,120
He ended up, I think, 8 of 16 for the game or 9 of 17, something near 50% passing.

246
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:33,720
He were very, very off.

247
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:38,320
So what that did was the yards per carry bottomed out.

248
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:44,000
Michigan had, it was the ASPN graphic, late in the third quarter, Michigan had 19.2 yards

249
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:45,800
per carry in the first quarter.

250
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:47,920
The second quarter it was 4.4.

251
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:52,040
In the third quarter it was 4.2 because what Michigan did to them was they were giving

252
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:55,200
all these overload looks, all these heavy packages.

253
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:59,360
They was motioning everybody over, running counters backside, just doing stuff because

254
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,760
Washington still was kind of stuck between guard and run paths.

255
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:06,920
When they realized McCarthy wasn't really playing that well, they began to load it up.

256
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:10,320
So the one thing to stop a heavy package, especially when backside countering and stuff,

257
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:11,320
is to load it up.

258
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:15,400
So when you run those pullers away, the people who are supposed to have their origin, supposed

259
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,040
to be blocking, just follow them in and blows the run up.

260
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:23,960
It was, and it caused a mess in the Michigan run game and it slowed the game down.

261
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:29,360
The game actually hauled to a creek, or to a creek in the third quarter.

262
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:31,760
Like I said, exchange of field goals and punts.

263
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:33,560
Then the fourth quarter, Michigan busted open.

264
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:37,040
By the end of the game, Panthers was holding his ribs.

265
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:40,920
By the second to last, third to last series, every time he gets touched he's on the ground

266
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:42,640
holding his ribs.

267
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:46,000
All kudos to him for surviving the game and finishing the game.

268
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:49,440
I'm sure there'll be a report in the near future that he played with fractured ribs

269
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:55,880
or cracked ribs or that those ribs were damaged in some shape, form, or fashion.

270
00:16:55,880 --> 00:17:04,840
So kudos to Michael Pennings for battling through.

271
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,760
But now let's go to the victors.

272
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:09,240
Let's go to Michigan.

273
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,560
Again, kudos to being 15 and 0.

274
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:14,960
But let's go to Jim Harbaugh.

275
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:15,960
He finally did it.

276
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:19,320
He's had some very good football teams.

277
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:24,520
He had good ones at Stanford, just didn't have the overall talent level to win big.

278
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,520
He won at San Diego State, but of course San Diego State you're not going to get much love

279
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:29,000
there.

280
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:30,000
He was in the 40s.

281
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:31,000
He was in the Subo with the 49ers.

282
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,160
He was in a couple of other championship games with the 49ers.

283
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:39,720
Of course he was the coach during the infamous You Tried Me With A Sire receiver like Crabtree,

284
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:40,720
Richard Sherman rant.

285
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:46,520
I'm pretty sure he was the head coach of the Niners in that game.

286
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,640
And of course he made it to the Subo against his brother John.

287
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,520
They asked him to ask his parents who he was rooting for.

288
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:54,760
Again, it was John beat Jim.

289
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:56,640
John ultimately beat Jim.

290
00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:01,240
Jim ends up leaving the Niners, gets fired, and leaves for part ways, whatever, and ends

291
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:02,920
up with Michigan.

292
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:03,920
Struggled out of the gate.

293
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,360
He's been in Michigan for eight years now.

294
00:18:06,360 --> 00:18:08,600
Struggled out of the gate.

295
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:11,120
For these last three years, man, they figured it out.

296
00:18:11,120 --> 00:18:12,120
He's got it down.

297
00:18:12,120 --> 00:18:13,120
He didn't have a quarterback at Michigan.

298
00:18:13,120 --> 00:18:14,120
It's really weird.

299
00:18:14,120 --> 00:18:16,840
For the first part of the tenure, he just couldn't get a quarterback.

300
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:22,440
So now he got Jayden McCarthy, who we call the best QB to ever play in Michigan.

301
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:23,440
I kind of can't disagree.

302
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:29,200
I mean, he's not nearly as exciting as a guy like Denar Robinson.

303
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:33,160
He doesn't have the pro career of a guy like Tom Brady, but as far as any Michigan jersey

304
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:38,040
and the maize and blue, I can't necessarily disagree with that.

305
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:41,480
Jim Harbaugh himself played at Michigan, so if anybody knows about Michigan quarterback

306
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:43,480
history, it's him.

307
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:50,320
But he goes on this magical run, and it's so Jim Harbaugh.

308
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:52,160
It's so Jim Harbaugh.

309
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:53,580
It's run the ball.

310
00:18:53,580 --> 00:18:55,240
It's physical defense.

311
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:59,120
It's an athletic quarterback who can make the right throws when he needs to.

312
00:18:59,120 --> 00:19:00,120
It's controversial.

313
00:19:00,120 --> 00:19:05,680
He suspended three games for the sign-spilling scandal.

314
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,000
It's magical at the end.

315
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:09,000
It's nail-biting.

316
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:10,000
It's frustrating.

317
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,840
It's, oh no, it almost didn't happen.

318
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,080
But usually what Harbaugh does, right?

319
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:19,400
Usually with Harbaugh, it finishes with, oh no, it didn't happen again.

320
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:20,680
The Super Bowl.

321
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:22,880
The game's been so high, I'll say it early.

322
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:26,120
It usually finishes with the Rose Bowl last year, the TCU.

323
00:19:26,120 --> 00:19:35,960
It usually finishes with, oh no, it just didn't happen again.

324
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:36,960
Not this time, right?

325
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:42,600
Jim Harbaugh wins Michigan's first national title of any sort since 1998, where they split

326
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:46,360
with Nebraska, their first outright title, I believe, ever.

327
00:19:46,360 --> 00:19:52,080
Definitely their first, what I call, on-the-field title, which is a national championship game

328
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:53,080
they wanted.

329
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:57,320
Jim Harbaugh, thanks to this, goes over $10 million in salary this year due to his incenses

330
00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:03,160
of winning Big Ten and the playoff game and the national championship.

331
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:06,640
And now I think he heads to the Chargers.

332
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,960
And to me, it's the worst kept secret in sports.

333
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:13,240
I'm betting my professional reputation on this.

334
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:17,000
Every single T-Leave has him going to the Chargers.

335
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:20,200
And he's a quick rundown of the T-Leaves.

336
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:24,680
He was linked to the Chargers, fired their head coach Brandon Stanley, worst coach in

337
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,840
football, smart decision, and they fired GM Tom Telesco.

338
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,240
Now, I didn't think that was all that smart.

339
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:32,880
Tom Telesco is one of the best GMs in football.

340
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:34,640
That Chargers roster is legit.

341
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:39,400
However, if he hired the coach, then maybe his decision making ain't that great.

342
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:44,240
But that head coach, that Chargers roster, excuse me, is legit.

343
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:49,440
Herbert, Eckler, Bosa, Mack, Kenan Allen, Quentin Johnson starting to come on a little

344
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:54,640
bit, Kenneth Murray, I miss somebody, a big fella, Mike Wood, and it's Parnham at tight

345
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:55,640
end.

346
00:20:55,640 --> 00:21:00,120
That's a legitimate roster, right?

347
00:21:00,120 --> 00:21:02,840
And so I don't expect him to be out of work long.

348
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:04,560
And so, okay, that's interesting.

349
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:10,840
But it's always the Kirby Smart, Jim Harbaugh, and it's another one, I think Bnemy, has been

350
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:16,320
linked to one personnel, either personnel control or be able to pick their own GM, which

351
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,840
is effectively personnel control, but out of the legwork.

352
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:23,360
And that's the arrangement that the Niners have.

353
00:21:23,360 --> 00:21:29,280
Kyle Shanahan picked John Lynch, so he has personnel control without doing the legwork

354
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,800
that John Lynch has to do, right?

355
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:34,480
Cool.

356
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:38,160
And then, so that happened with the Chargers.

357
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:44,120
And then it comes out, Jim Harbaugh, I mean, less than a week later, Jim Harbaugh is seriously

358
00:21:44,120 --> 00:21:46,680
considering a return to the NFL.

359
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:50,720
Usually it's Harbaugh linked to the NFL just in general, but this is a pretty serious,

360
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:51,720
hard report.

361
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:52,720
Like he's very interested.

362
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,720
And there's a very long time for suspension.

363
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,040
Well, no, suspension hasn't happened yet.

364
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,680
So then he gets suspended, okay?

365
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,080
One of his big complaints started by Kyle was the rules, right?

366
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:08,800
That's what makes most college coaches go pro if they can, is just the rulebook and

367
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:12,440
it's the way it's painted in the book.

368
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:15,920
Then Harbaugh switches representation to Don Yee.

369
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:20,240
Don Yee is a known super agent.

370
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:23,360
He's got Tom Brady and Sean Payton as a couple of his clients.

371
00:22:23,360 --> 00:22:31,480
He is the guy in the NFL, if you want your name in the NFL circles, it's Don Yee.

372
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:32,600
Okay?

373
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:34,880
He does that.

374
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:40,120
Less than 72 hours after that, big report comes out.

375
00:22:40,120 --> 00:22:46,960
The charges are going to aggressively pursue Jim Harbaugh and the All-Stars.

376
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:51,920
When Jim Harbaugh is asked about this at the National Championship game, media day, he

377
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:54,320
sidesteps with the same line.

378
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:55,800
We are focused on the here and now.

379
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:57,800
We're a team that's focused on today.

380
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:01,200
We're going to go out and be the best we can today.

381
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:06,280
We're going to wake up tomorrow and try and be the best we can and try and win that day.

382
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:10,800
Kept saying it repeatedly.

383
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:13,440
And the tea leaves kept swirling.

384
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:14,440
Kept swirling.

385
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:15,440
Kept swirling.

386
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:19,560
Reports to the left and right about Harbaugh, to the NFL, et cetera.

387
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:27,080
I would be shocked if the next head coach of the Los Angeles Chargers isn't Jim Harbaugh.

388
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,280
I don't see Harbaugh going to the Raiders.

389
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,520
Trap, strap, fans loving Tony O'Piers.

390
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:36,840
Going into the Lions, then people waiting on you to mess it up.

391
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,160
Don't see him going to Washington.

392
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:40,920
Chicago's keeping the Eber flu.

393
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:42,440
Carolina's a mess.

394
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:47,960
I think if Jim Harbaugh's going to turn down eight to $10 million base salary from Michigan,

395
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:51,000
he's going to go somewhere he can win.

396
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:55,400
I think the Chargers are set up for him to win right now.

397
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:59,560
They have a notified with-ball draft pick.

398
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:06,000
They can draft a really good offensive lineman to protect Justin Herbert, and they can go

399
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,960
win football games right now.

400
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:14,800
Whether he brings Sharon Moore in as the OC for the Lions or Sharon Moore, not the Lions,

401
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:20,080
the Chargers or Sharon Moore gets the Michigan job, all that'll be decided once Harbaugh

402
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:25,960
makes his decision, but I think I'm pretty sure he's going to be the next head coach

403
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:30,480
of all of Tangle's Chargers.

404
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:32,720
It's official, ladies and gentlemen.

405
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:40,800
We have gone through the 10-year era of the college football playoff, four-team era.

406
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,600
Eh, whatever.

407
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:47,480
We're officially through the four-team era of the college football playoff.

408
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:48,880
It's officially over.

409
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:56,760
Of course, next year we convert to the 12-year playoff, which I think erases the biggest

410
00:24:56,760 --> 00:25:03,120
problem people have with the playoff, that the games aren't close.

411
00:25:03,120 --> 00:25:07,240
That's the issue, and I don't think that gets solved in the first round, because for

412
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:10,840
instance, this year Georgia would have played Liberty in Athens.

413
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,760
Yeah, that's 48-3.

414
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:15,400
You know what I'm saying?

415
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,440
That's an abuse.

416
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:21,640
But I think it does solve some of the later games.

417
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:28,440
For instance, 1-4 be off, 5-12 have to play.

418
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:29,440
Everybody goes around.

419
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:34,840
More than likely, most of the time, the teams left are going to be 1-8.

420
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:42,080
So when you get to that third round, some of those teams have won two games.

421
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:43,080
They're rolling.

422
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:44,080
They're hot.

423
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:45,080
If it's a higher seed, they won one.

424
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:48,640
If it's a top-4 seed, they won one game, proving that they're really good.

425
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:54,560
But if it's a 7 seed, knock off a 10, and then knock off a 2, or something like that,

426
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:55,560
now they're rolling.

427
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:56,560
They're hot.

428
00:25:56,560 --> 00:26:00,760
So you can see a team that had a quarterback injury, that had a slow start, that ended

429
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:04,640
up in that ranking position, and now they're potentially winning a match championship,

430
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,440
because they were able to prove it on the field.

431
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:09,800
So that's what's going to make, to me, the games are a lot closer.

432
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:14,720
Maybe not the first round, but the second, third, and ultimately the match championship,

433
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:18,200
they're going to have to win at least two games to get to the match championship.

434
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:21,280
It's not like Michigan 1-1 to play the Natty.

435
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:24,560
They're going to have to win at least two, because if you have the first round off, you

436
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:29,840
still have to beat somebody in the round of eight, beat somebody in the semifinals, then

437
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:31,560
play in the match championship.

438
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:35,520
So some college teams may win four games in the postseason to win the Natty.

439
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:37,840
You're going to have to win at least three.

440
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:41,400
So I think that's going to make sure that those games at the end are close, because

441
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:46,840
these teams are going to have to be battle tested so long to even get there.

442
00:26:46,840 --> 00:27:12,920
But up next, we are going to shift to the NFL and talk about Super Wild Card we get.

443
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:18,200
Welcome back into the show.

444
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:21,920
And now we're going to talk about the NFL Super Wild Card we get.

445
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:23,480
Ladies and gentlemen, we made it.

446
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:26,680
There was a lot of guys excited over the past weekend.

447
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:32,200
Chris Jones basically threw a party on the sidelines for his sack, giving him his $1.25

448
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:34,400
million incentive, Jadaviaon Clown.

449
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:37,200
He got his incentives.

450
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:42,040
A couple of guys felt woefully short, very painfully short, not woefully, painfully short.

451
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:46,040
If I was the owner, I would just convert them into roster bonuses or whatever, do something

452
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:47,680
to get those guys that money.

453
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:53,120
Those guys that finished like 13 yards short of an incentive for like $250k or one catch,

454
00:27:53,120 --> 00:27:55,760
I think I seen for $250k.

455
00:27:55,760 --> 00:28:00,000
But D-Hawk, D-Hawk cashed in both of his incentives for $500k.

456
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,440
Odell cashed in for $250k.

457
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:04,720
Some of those guys cashed in, some of the time they don't.

458
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:10,800
I mean, you can't think of a guy who was literally one catch short of his incentive number for

459
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:11,800
$250k.

460
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:16,200
If you're that close, I'm gonna convert it, right?

461
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:21,000
I'm a billionaire, it's your money, dude, you got it.

462
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,120
So that's always fun the last weekend of the year.

463
00:28:23,120 --> 00:28:26,040
But also the last weekend of the year is fun when there's deciding seeds.

464
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:29,520
Steelers get in the playoffs, shout out to them.

465
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:35,160
Jaguars go into a long off season.

466
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:39,400
Imagine five weeks ago telling the Jaguars, you're not gonna make the playoffs.

467
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:44,720
They were already starting to pre-sell playoff tickets in the end of November.

468
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:50,160
They were three games up in the division, like five left to go in the season.

469
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:54,680
Two of them were division games, one of them was Titans that were basically taking, I think

470
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:57,520
for the last three or four weeks of the season their magic number was one.

471
00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:02,320
They do win one game a year and they just didn't.

472
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:06,900
Everything that could have gone wrong for them, like Pittsburgh being viable, Buffalo

473
00:29:06,900 --> 00:29:13,160
charging back, all those things, literally everything went wrong for Jacksonville.

474
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:17,600
And like I said, it sends them into an incredibly long off season with a lot of questions.

475
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:19,440
People are questioning Trevor Lawrence right now.

476
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:21,320
People are questioning Doug Peterson right now.

477
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:25,160
People are questioning that GM, whether that's enough talent on that team.

478
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:29,440
There's a lot of questions in a long off season for Jacksonville.

479
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:36,320
You've got Buffalo, they went into the weekend staring at potentially two seed or at home

480
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:39,960
and ended up winning the division for the fourth year in a row.

481
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,520
You've got Miami now with a lot of questions.

482
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:44,280
The Patriots won four games all year.

483
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:46,440
Two of them are against 500 or better teams.

484
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:51,280
The Dolphins are in the playoffs right now and only have one win versus such teams.

485
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:54,240
There's a lot of questions in Miami right now.

486
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:57,280
But in some seasons we're mercifully over.

487
00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:59,080
The Chargers season is mercifully over.

488
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:01,440
The Patriots, the Cardinals, they're mercifully over.

489
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:02,960
The Panthers are mercifully over.

490
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:04,760
That's a horrible job right now.

491
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:06,440
Tennessee is a horrible job right now.

492
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:09,400
They fired Mike Vrabel for some unknown reason.

493
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:11,000
Tennessee is a horrible job right now.

494
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:15,000
You have no assets to trade, no money and no draft picks.

495
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,200
That's an awful job right now.

496
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:18,800
Carolina is an awful job.

497
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:23,040
You have a lot of money, but who are you going to spend it on?

498
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:25,440
And then you don't own your own first round draft pick.

499
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:28,600
So your earliest pick is pick 33.

500
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:31,720
That's a bad job right now.

501
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:36,080
And so a lot of things going on, the running back class is going to be intriguing.

502
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:39,080
Jacobs, Barkley and Henry back on the market.

503
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:42,720
But we're going to talk about all that another time.

504
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:45,960
Right now we're going to focus on the super wild card weekend.

505
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:47,520
We're going to go game by game.

506
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:48,520
We're going to pick them.

507
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:53,040
We're going to discuss some of the huge, you know, how we get down at JTS.

508
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:56,640
But Saturday it kicks off with Browns at Texans.

509
00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,720
We're going to discuss the game in order of how they're played.

510
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:04,800
So Browns at Texans, Browns are a two and a half point favorite on the road at Houston.

511
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:11,120
That's an interesting line because it's telling me on a neutral side, Houston's five and a

512
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:13,560
half points worse than Cleveland.

513
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:16,080
I don't get that one.

514
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:19,360
Cleveland looked pretty rough in week 18.

515
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:21,800
Houston won a game of Clutchster season.

516
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:25,040
Now they didn't look pretty while doing it, but they got it done.

517
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:32,120
And they are a young team.

518
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:34,240
And that's the team that people should watch for in the off season.

519
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:37,440
Obviously they still got football to be played, but that's the team people should be looking

520
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:38,440
for in the off season.

521
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:39,440
Think about all their best players.

522
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:42,440
Think about everybody you think of on the Texans.

523
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:46,960
And I'm sure there's some guys, the fans know I don't, but think about all the important

524
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:47,960
people on the Texans.

525
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:48,960
CJ Stroud, rookie.

526
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:49,960
Will Anderson, rookie.

527
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:50,960
Tank Dale, rookie.

528
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:51,960
So yeah, quarterback, rookie.

529
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:55,240
Tank Dale, rookie.

530
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:58,760
Top receiver and edge rusher are rookies.

531
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:02,720
Derrick Singley is on his rookie contract.

532
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:04,720
Dalton Kincaid, yeah I think it's Dalton.

533
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:09,640
Dalton Schultz, very manageable contract.

534
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:13,400
They're going to have a lot of money in cap.

535
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:16,760
That is going to be a very dangerous team.

536
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:22,200
Your T Higgins of the world, Nikko Collins isn't bad, but your T Higgins of the world,

537
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:25,600
your Derrick Henrys of the world, your Saquon Barkley of the world.

538
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:30,080
If I'm one of those guys, I'm calling Houston, all my agent and cons of Houston, because they're

539
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:33,960
going to be able to spend money for the next two to three years and still control their

540
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:36,520
cap because all their best players are so young.

541
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:41,720
Now in three years, Singley will have gotten paid, Tank, Anderson, Stroud, the whole nine

542
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:43,800
yards, all bets are off.

543
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:47,400
But for the next three years, they have an opportunity to take advantage of a lot of

544
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:50,040
their great players being on rookie deals.

545
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:54,440
But anyway, you're trying to tell me that the Texans are five and a half points worse

546
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:55,440
than the Browns.

547
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:56,440
No.

548
00:32:56,440 --> 00:33:01,960
Playing it simple, the only way I see the Browns even being one point favorites in this

549
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:07,120
game is the fact that Houston's so young, but ain't like Cleveland, got a whole lot of

550
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:09,040
playoff experience themselves.

551
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:11,880
What smiles Garry's playoff experience?

552
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:18,560
Lamar Cooper, Kareem Hunts been a playoff, but that was a patch of my own.

553
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:22,760
Joe Flacco probably hadn't seen a playoff except on TV in the past five years.

554
00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:24,920
Kevin Spafanski, he's got a great playoff record.

555
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:25,920
I didn't think so.

556
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:28,600
Like, so yes, Demykro Ryan is the first year head coach.

557
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:30,840
Yes, CJ Stroud is a rookie.

558
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:35,320
But up until CJ Stroud got concussion, he was very seriously in MVP discussions.

559
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:37,320
I mean incredibly seriously.

560
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:44,120
Now Joe Flacco, David, play of the month in December, very earned, 1300 yards, 13 touchdowns,

561
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:46,920
one pick, maybe two picks, incredibly earned.

562
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:52,360
But we're not going to act like Cleveland's this well-oiled machine who caught a bad break

563
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:55,640
from a division opponent and now they have to go on the road to in the playoffs.

564
00:33:55,640 --> 00:34:01,640
Like, no, they, you know, Deshaun Watson was poor and he was injured and Nick Chubb blew

565
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:02,640
his knee apart.

566
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:04,200
Like they have their issues.

567
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:06,080
They're illegitimate to me, five seed.

568
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:09,160
And I think Houston actually wins this game all right.

569
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:11,400
Not just the point spread but wins the game all right.

570
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:14,960
The better quarterbacks in Houston.

571
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:18,440
Split when it comes to coaching.

572
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:22,440
Receive advantage right now Cleveland.

573
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:23,440
Edge rush for Cleveland.

574
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:27,360
Miles Garey is one of the best edge rushers in football.

575
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:28,920
I just think Houston wins the game.

576
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:34,280
I think if we go position by position, Cleveland may have the edge on paper.

577
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:36,120
But I think Houston wins the game.

578
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:43,040
In Houston, a lot of energy fired up, a lot of noise swirling around Houston.

579
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:44,040
They're going to be fired up.

580
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:45,680
We thought it was loud for Michigan.

581
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:50,800
Washington, that first playoff game, it's going to roar in Houston.

582
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:56,400
And I think that they may end up actually, I think they may end up, they score that,

583
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:59,840
if they score on the field and score on that first drive, they may run away and hide with

584
00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:03,640
it because of that energy of that crowd, the energy and momentum of that team.

585
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:09,540
They may run away and hide away from Cleveland if they score early and fast.

586
00:35:09,540 --> 00:35:11,360
So that is something to watch for.

587
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:16,960
But I have Houston winning that game out right.

588
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:24,240
In the Saturday night game, then I kept the Dolphins at Chiefs in the frozen arrowhead.

589
00:35:24,240 --> 00:35:29,960
Projected game dot time temperature is between zero and two degrees.

590
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:39,920
And so, yeah, Miami is going to go play a football game in between zero and two degrees.

591
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:44,160
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

592
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:46,440
Zero and two.

593
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:48,960
The Miami Dolphins.

594
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:56,280
Speed and you know, Miami are going to go play a football game on the road in zero or

595
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:57,800
two degrees.

596
00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:04,000
It is one of the coldest games in league history.

597
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:08,080
The winds are also supposed to be born between 10 and 20 mile an hour.

598
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:11,080
It's a Chiefs paradise in terms of they're used to it.

599
00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:17,080
I mean, the photos who I share in my home is running around in the snow.

600
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:18,080
It's what the Chiefs are used to.

601
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:19,080
It's in Kansas City.

602
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:23,560
I was watching Uncle Nocho and Chad Johnson was like, you don't get that cold in Kansas

603
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:24,560
City.

604
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:28,280
And Sharper's like, dude, have you ever played in Kansas City?

605
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:30,800
Like it's going to be between zero and two degrees.

606
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:35,200
10 and 20 mile an hour winds all game.

607
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:39,480
Spelling disaster in my opinion for the Dolphins.

608
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:42,840
That down to fill passing game, you're going to have to throw it through howling winds

609
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:46,560
and two, it doesn't already have the world's strongest arm.

610
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:48,480
It's not like Tyree Hughes to play in this weather.

611
00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:54,200
I agree, but he's been a Miami boy for most of, not all, for a past couple of years.

612
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:56,320
He's been a Miami guy.

613
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:58,160
Two of them are islands.

614
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:00,600
Those guys have been playing in Miami all year.

615
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:03,760
Like colds around Miami is like six or something.

616
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:08,200
And now they got to go play in zero degrees versus a Chiefs team that stole the bye.

617
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:16,080
And then you get the Miami team come off an emotional let down, just a let down.

618
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:22,240
They went from potential two seed playing the bills again in the playoffs to they're

619
00:37:22,240 --> 00:37:28,400
at the sixth seed and having to go on the road to Kansas City again, who stole the by

620
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:32,400
Travis Kelsing and played week 18, Patrick Mahomes, Pacheco.

621
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:36,960
A lot of the stars, Chris Jones did to get his incentive, but a lot of the stars on that

622
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:38,260
team did not play.

623
00:37:38,260 --> 00:37:43,400
So they stole an effective bye week and they get a team that's emotionally dejected.

624
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:48,460
They went from standing at posting their playoff game to going on the road and they frozen

625
00:37:48,460 --> 00:37:49,820
arrowhead.

626
00:37:49,820 --> 00:37:54,400
So the points for right now is Dolphins plus four.

627
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:58,840
I've got the Chiefs winning that game outright.

628
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:02,240
I don't think the Dolphins will be able to move legitimately.

629
00:38:02,240 --> 00:38:06,120
I just don't see the environment being conducive to their success.

630
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:09,120
So I've got the Chiefs here kind of ugly though.

631
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:12,120
Twenty four to fourteen.

632
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:16,000
That secondary is going to be allowed because of how cold is going to be.

633
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:21,440
They're going to be able to keep up with those Dolphins receivers.

634
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:24,960
I don't know if the zone runs going to be effective, having to cut back in a lot of

635
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:26,560
the misdirection like we didn't like to run.

636
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:29,680
There's going to be a lot of cutting back on the frozen field, but we will definitely

637
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:30,680
keep our eye on it, of course.

638
00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:35,240
But I've got the Chiefs winning the game and covering the four points.

639
00:38:35,240 --> 00:38:43,320
Moving into Sunday, probably the game I'll talk about the fastest, Steelers at Bills.

640
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:44,320
This is an overmatch.

641
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:46,320
I mean this is playing it simple.

642
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:47,320
It's an overmatch.

643
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:48,320
The Steelers already have a bad offense.

644
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:53,760
Now they're going to go in without TJ Watts.

645
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:57,920
So they're not even truly scaring Josh out on the other side.

646
00:38:57,920 --> 00:38:59,300
This is going to be an absolute blowout.

647
00:38:59,300 --> 00:39:01,400
The point spread is ten.

648
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:02,400
I think it should be twelve and a half, thirteen.

649
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:06,120
But this is going to be an absolute destruction by the Bills.

650
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:11,320
The Bills are going to be going high with this one.

651
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:12,820
Thirty four, ten, thirty four, thirteen.

652
00:39:12,820 --> 00:39:17,280
I don't see any way the Steelers even keep it close.

653
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:21,680
I'm glad it's the noon game because by two o'clock it will be over.

654
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:25,120
I just don't see this as a, it's not a playoff game.

655
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:29,320
It's like the, it's like the, the console playoff next year.

656
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:32,160
The FCS school or the group of five school plays the five seed.

657
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:34,600
It's like, yep, this is an overmatch.

658
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:37,560
That's how it feels to the Steelers and the Bills.

659
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:38,560
Not healthy.

660
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:39,560
No TJ Watts.

661
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:41,720
There's nothing that scared Josh Allen.

662
00:39:41,720 --> 00:39:42,720
This is an overmatch.

663
00:39:42,720 --> 00:39:44,240
Kind of how I feel about the Dolphins too.

664
00:39:44,240 --> 00:39:45,240
They have no edge rushers.

665
00:39:45,240 --> 00:39:49,480
They're signing edge rushers off the street trying to just get edge rushers on the team

666
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:51,560
to even go play against Chiefs.

667
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:53,600
It's just stuff working against people.

668
00:39:53,600 --> 00:40:00,320
So I've got the Bills obviously winning and obviously covering the ten points.

669
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:02,000
And also reunion weekend.

670
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:04,040
I forgot to touch on that.

671
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:06,640
It's also kind of reunion weekend.

672
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:13,280
For instance, Miami Tyree Hill goes into Arrowhead.

673
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:17,560
I can't think of reunion in the Steelers and Bills, but Mike McCarthy faces the Packers

674
00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:18,560
in the playoffs.

675
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:20,560
So the Packers play the Cowboys in the playoffs.

676
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:22,440
Cowboys are minus seven and a half.

677
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:23,960
So seven and a half were the favorites.

678
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:26,640
I forgot the Packers actually covering the spread.

679
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:27,960
I think the Cowboys win the game.

680
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:29,800
I think the Packers keep it close.

681
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:34,920
The reason why is they can run the ball and the Cowboys honestly can't.

682
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:38,680
Jai Alexander is going to have to put his money away, his mouth days, and guard a CD

683
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:39,680
lamb.

684
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:43,200
But the Packers can run the ball.

685
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:46,400
Aaron Jones and A.J. Dillon can run the ball.

686
00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:48,440
They can make this game shorter.

687
00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:53,480
Jordan Love has the second most pattern size in the league, only behind Dak Prescott.

688
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:56,680
And Dak has struggled against higher level secondaries.

689
00:40:56,680 --> 00:41:03,360
Jai Alexander makes the Packers a higher level secondary because he is able to guard a CD

690
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:04,360
lamb.

691
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:06,600
He is able to lock up one side of the field.

692
00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:08,280
That makes the Packers a high level secondary.

693
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:13,080
So I've got the Packers actually keeping this game closer than the seven and a half.

694
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:16,160
I've got it being 28-24 Dallas.

695
00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:17,400
Dallas wins the game.

696
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:25,000
But they make the Packers make them sweat it out all the way through.

697
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:31,080
In our next reunion, in our last reunion, to me our biggest reunion is Matthew Stafford

698
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:34,720
and Los Angeles Rams at the Detroit Lions.

699
00:41:34,720 --> 00:41:36,680
Lions minus three.

700
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:39,760
I've got the Rams winning out right.

701
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:42,240
And how fitting would that be, right?

702
00:41:42,240 --> 00:41:44,080
The first, how fitting is it already?

703
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:51,440
The first playoff game Detroit has hosted ever in forward field as far as I know.

704
00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:53,960
Their first NFC North Division title ever.

705
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:58,200
So it's definitely their first first round game hosted ever.

706
00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:00,240
Because when you get a first round game you have to win your division.

707
00:42:00,240 --> 00:42:03,720
So they were wild cards whenever they did make the playoffs.

708
00:42:03,720 --> 00:42:05,360
I know they always lost to Matt Stafford.

709
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:09,120
They were like 0-3 or 0-4 with Matt Stafford.

710
00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:10,120
Before him it was dark.

711
00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:14,200
Like this could be their first home playoff game in forward field ever.

712
00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:17,800
Now I count my history in the 80s and 90s when I'm saying this.

713
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:21,880
When they moved to the forward field this is their first home playoff game ever.

714
00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:25,200
At one point they had Matt Stafford and Calvin Johnson.

715
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:26,200
They made the playoffs.

716
00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:27,200
They just never won the division.

717
00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:33,680
They never had a home game and how fitting is it that when they finally get it with Dan

718
00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:38,280
Campbell, Jared Goff, Jermarie Gibbs, Amon Rock, St. Brown, Aiden Hutchinson and the

719
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:42,360
rest of that Detroit Lions crew including both of their corps that has been requested

720
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:43,640
for interviews.

721
00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:50,320
How fitting is it that Matthew Stafford arrives, right?

722
00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:55,640
And it's like that trade that happened with them in full force.

723
00:42:55,640 --> 00:43:01,480
In staring at each other where Matthew Stafford and Jared Goff basically problem for problem.

724
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:04,640
Stafford had kind of worn out his welcome in Detroit and was looking to move on.

725
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:07,320
Jared Goff needed a fresh start.

726
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:13,400
So the two quarterbacks got a spot for each other and Stafford won a two ball ring with

727
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:14,400
the Rams.

728
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:19,760
Then Goff has now brought Detroit to their first home playoff game in forward field history

729
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:24,640
and how fitting is it that Stafford could be the one to beat Detroit in their first

730
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:25,640
home playoff game?

731
00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:26,640
I think he does.

732
00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:27,640
I think he gets it done.

733
00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:28,640
I think it's a shootout.

734
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:31,880
Aaron Donald makes the play, Aiden Hutchinson does it.

735
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:38,080
34-31 Rams and Stafford jogs off a forward field with a playoff victory for the first

736
00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:40,840
time in his career.

737
00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:44,880
And then the nightcap or the Monday night game that I believe was the last Monday night

738
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:46,280
game of the year.

739
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:51,920
Eagles at bucks, bucks plus three take the Eagles to cover and the win.

740
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:52,920
All right.

741
00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:53,920
Look, I get it.

742
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:54,920
I get it.

743
00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:55,920
I get it.

744
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:58,400
The Eagles have played horrible.

745
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:02,400
They are the second team in NFL history to start 10 and one and better and never make

746
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:04,680
the 12 wins.

747
00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:11,680
In context, that is one and five to close the season because again, it's not only one

748
00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:16,320
and four, but it's one and five now to close the season.

749
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:18,320
They started off 10 and one.

750
00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:20,320
They never made it to 12 wins.

751
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:26,040
They win, they win one and five the rest of the year, ultimately go from a inside track,

752
00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:31,560
a big inside track on the one seed to not even winning on division.

753
00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:32,560
It was rough.

754
00:44:32,560 --> 00:44:36,200
And then the week 18, Jaylen Hurtsfinger popped out of place.

755
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:37,920
AJ Brown has a situation.

756
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:40,160
Devon Smith gets a situation.

757
00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:47,240
You know, now you're just adding all these situations in, in these different struggles.

758
00:44:47,240 --> 00:44:51,240
And the team is just lost.

759
00:44:51,240 --> 00:44:57,040
Like they just look, I don't want to say in shock, but in shock, like you have Jaylen

760
00:44:57,040 --> 00:45:00,840
Hurts coming to the microphone talking about some learning opportunity.

761
00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:06,360
That's not going to go well with social media or the regular media.

762
00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:10,120
And it's just been a rough situation in Philly.

763
00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:15,120
Now people are having questions about Nick Sirianni.

764
00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:19,480
You know, he, and we spoke about it before, like Philly being as good as they were was

765
00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:24,480
a credit to Sirianni because they had to replace both coordinators.

766
00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:27,680
Not one, both of them took head coach jobs in the same off season.

767
00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:35,360
One to Philly and one to Houston, not Houston, one to Philly and one to, oh man, not Philly,

768
00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:41,480
one to Indianapolis and one to Arizona.

769
00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:44,520
And so they both took head coach jobs in the same cycle.

770
00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:47,360
So not only is he trying to figure out what to do with his offense, he's got to figure

771
00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:51,320
out what to do with his defense, including making new hires, how to get the system in

772
00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:52,320
place and everything.

773
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:56,160
And so it was a miracle that Philly was even doing what they were able to do.

774
00:45:56,160 --> 00:46:01,160
Then you go to the Tampa Bay Buccaneer side, Baker Mayfield is one of the many career researchers.

775
00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:05,160
He's playing a little reckless, but I think it's working for him.

776
00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:08,000
It's allowing him to play a little bit more free.

777
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:11,480
He's hitting Mike Evans and Chris Gowden, which are always good plans.

778
00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:15,840
And it didn't even have his fully loaded defense because the organization and Devin White have

779
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:17,720
gotten to disagreements.

780
00:46:17,720 --> 00:46:25,400
And so he is battling not even having his fully loaded defense ready to go, but they

781
00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:26,400
won the division.

782
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:30,320
Now it was the worst division in football, but they did win it.

783
00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:35,400
And we're going to speak about the other half of the NLC South, but they won an ugly game

784
00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:37,440
over Carolina, nine to zero.

785
00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:41,600
But it got them in the playoffs hosting a home playoff game versus the Philadelphia

786
00:46:41,600 --> 00:46:42,600
Eagles team.

787
00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:47,120
It feels a lot like when Brady that year after the Super Bowl, they hosted against the Rams

788
00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:49,680
with the Rams with a better team, but the Bucs that got the host it.

789
00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:51,280
The Eagles are a better team.

790
00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:52,640
Bucs get to host it.

791
00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:54,680
They better score more than nine points this time.

792
00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:57,080
I don't care what their defense does.

793
00:46:57,080 --> 00:47:04,240
Philly wins the game and covers the three points of 22-10.

794
00:47:04,240 --> 00:47:08,720
And up next, we're going to jump into Jack's hot take, which is going to be Shannon Sharp

795
00:47:08,720 --> 00:47:29,040
versus Jamex Winston.

796
00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:34,840
Welcome back into the show.

797
00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:42,080
And now we're going to jump into Jack's hot take, which is going to be a discussion or

798
00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:48,160
my commentary rather on Jamex Winston versus Shannon Sharp.

799
00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:53,880
So as you guys may know or don't know, or if you don't know, I'm going to fill you in.

800
00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:55,360
The New Orleans Saints play the Atlanta Falcons.

801
00:47:55,360 --> 00:47:57,280
I'll give you the backstory of the controversy.

802
00:47:57,280 --> 00:48:01,880
So the New Orleans Saints play the Atlanta Falcons, one of the most heated rivalries in

803
00:48:01,880 --> 00:48:02,880
the NFL.

804
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:11,240
It is not as nationally prominent as Steelers Ravens, but it's up there in terms of the

805
00:48:11,240 --> 00:48:15,120
vitriol and the dislike.

806
00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:18,760
There's problems between the Atlanta Falcons and the New Orleans Saints.

807
00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:24,720
There's iconic moments of one knocking the other out of the playoff race, of taunting,

808
00:48:24,720 --> 00:48:28,560
of celebrations, I mean, there's just vitriol.

809
00:48:28,560 --> 00:48:35,240
It doesn't have the level of struggle and national attention Steelers Ravens gets, and

810
00:48:35,240 --> 00:48:40,360
that because the level of Hall of Famers that played in that game.

811
00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:47,680
Steelers Ravens at one point it was Tre Palomalu, James Harrison, Jerome Bennett, Spinner Osberg

812
00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:54,280
on one side, and then Ray Lewis, Ed Reed, Shannon Sharp on the other.

813
00:48:54,280 --> 00:49:00,400
There's been legends in Steelers Ravens throughout the past, I don't know whether Ravens is 20

814
00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:03,760
or something years old, past 30 years in that matchup.

815
00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:10,080
Falcons and Saints have had awards and a lot of vitriol in that series as well.

816
00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:16,040
So it's 41-17, about a minute left.

817
00:49:16,040 --> 00:49:21,680
Ritter, I think it's Ritter, throws a pick to Tyromathie.

818
00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:29,440
Tyromathie reads it beautifully, pick, takes off down the field.

819
00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:35,640
Now Tyron is jogging, and I think he's mentally fighting, well it's a long run, he caught

820
00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:37,440
it like on the 30, 35 yard line.

821
00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:39,160
So it's a long run against the end zone.

822
00:49:39,160 --> 00:49:43,760
I think mentally he's wondering in his head if he should slide.

823
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:47,000
Because at this point the Saints know they're out.

824
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:53,440
Because the Atlanta, Tampa, Carolina game went final before their game did.

825
00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:54,440
So they know they're out.

826
00:49:54,440 --> 00:49:59,040
The only way they could have got in feasibly was the Buccaneers to lose, because then they

827
00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:07,880
would have needed the Bears to beat the Packers, and Arizona to beat Washington, Arizona to

828
00:50:07,880 --> 00:50:10,880
beat Seattle.

829
00:50:10,880 --> 00:50:11,880
Neither one of those things happened.

830
00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:14,240
Seattle won and the Packers won.

831
00:50:14,240 --> 00:50:16,480
So in order for the Saints to get in.

832
00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:18,440
So they pretty much at that point of the route.

833
00:50:18,440 --> 00:50:23,120
So Tyron is jogging down the field, but he makes it a pretty far way.

834
00:50:23,120 --> 00:50:27,400
Once he gets off the 30, I think he just figures, okay I might as well try and get in.

835
00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:32,120
But now he's being chased down, and he tries to avoid it, gets tackled at the 1.

836
00:50:32,120 --> 00:50:37,400
Of course the DB, of course defense hands on the head, and they're like, oh I can't

837
00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:41,120
believe he got caught, and it's a big thing, right?

838
00:50:41,120 --> 00:50:42,120
They're at the 1.

839
00:50:42,120 --> 00:50:47,040
Again, this is one of the more hated rivalries in the NFL.

840
00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:51,680
This is a rivalry that's like Broncos Chiefs in the 90s that Shannon Shaw participated

841
00:50:51,680 --> 00:50:52,680
in.

842
00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:53,680
Raven Steelers 2000s.

843
00:50:53,680 --> 00:50:57,400
Like it is legitimate beef.

844
00:50:57,400 --> 00:50:59,360
It's all day, every day.

845
00:50:59,360 --> 00:51:02,840
Like you get heckled in the other city stores for wearing the team merch.

846
00:51:02,840 --> 00:51:05,280
So like if you're in Atlanta wearing Saints gear, they heckle you.

847
00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:07,560
If you're in New Orleans wearing Falcons gear, you get heckled.

848
00:51:07,560 --> 00:51:09,800
Like that's an issue, it's a problem.

849
00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:14,440
Like that's not something you can just do, right?

850
00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:17,680
And I did this in New Orleans, I live in Baton Rouge, where Falcons get out here?

851
00:51:17,680 --> 00:51:19,440
Dude you get heckled.

852
00:51:19,440 --> 00:51:22,000
Like it's not something you can just regularly do.

853
00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:23,200
That's not a normal thing.

854
00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:27,680
It's not, oh it's Packers, Packers Bears.

855
00:51:27,680 --> 00:51:30,480
You know but that's been so one sided, that's not really that funny either.

856
00:51:30,480 --> 00:51:35,240
But like you know it's not like the Giants were playing the Dolphins that have no real

857
00:51:35,240 --> 00:51:37,120
connection like you know.

858
00:51:37,120 --> 00:51:39,440
It's Falcons and Saints.

859
00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:44,120
So it's on the one yard line, minute 20 some odd seconds left.

860
00:51:44,120 --> 00:51:51,000
Dennis Allen, by self admission of Dennis Allen and Jamis Winston, said let's take a

861
00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:52,000
knee.

862
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:59,280
Jamis, with the support of his team, says hey Jamal hasn't scored all year.

863
00:51:59,280 --> 00:52:05,440
Now when Jamal Williams came to the Saints last season, he had come off a season where

864
00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:08,160
he scored 17 touchdowns and led the league in touchdowns.

865
00:52:08,160 --> 00:52:10,160
Real fantasy darling.

866
00:52:10,160 --> 00:52:15,680
When he came to New Orleans on a three year 12 million dollar deal for nobody paying any

867
00:52:15,680 --> 00:52:19,400
of the running backs, he got a three year 12 million dollar deal from the Saints, he

868
00:52:19,400 --> 00:52:20,400
joins the Saints alright.

869
00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:26,560
He had injuries, he was in battling, just trying to even stay healthy.

870
00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:29,920
Scoring wasn't in priority, he was trying to stay healthy and play games.

871
00:52:29,920 --> 00:52:35,360
Of course he was behind out with Kamara and the running back they got in place of, Williams

872
00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:39,160
was playing pretty well so snaps were limited.

873
00:52:39,160 --> 00:52:44,600
So the whole team goes hey Jamal can't go from leading the league in Russian touchdowns

874
00:52:44,600 --> 00:52:47,280
to not scoring at all, we're on the one.

875
00:52:47,280 --> 00:52:51,880
Let's just give it to Jamal and let Jamal get in.

876
00:52:51,880 --> 00:52:55,400
He had the support of Jamis Winston, he had the support of the team, including the starting

877
00:52:55,400 --> 00:52:56,400
center.

878
00:52:56,400 --> 00:53:01,080
The starting center said I couldn't have gone to sleep that night if Jamal didn't score.

879
00:53:01,080 --> 00:53:03,600
So the whole team is in agreement.

880
00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:08,440
The VA, Dennis Allen goes and knows we're going to nail it.

881
00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:15,440
Well that same team who supported Jamis Winston in the center to get Jamal Williams touchdown

882
00:53:15,440 --> 00:53:19,320
said okay we're going to line up on the knee and we're going to dive left and we're going

883
00:53:19,320 --> 00:53:20,320
to hand the ball to Jamal.

884
00:53:20,320 --> 00:53:22,360
We're going to get Jamal Williams on.

885
00:53:22,360 --> 00:53:25,640
Again the score is 41-17.

886
00:53:25,640 --> 00:53:28,400
The game is over, if you take knees the game is over, if you score the game is over.

887
00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:29,400
It's 41-17.

888
00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:33,800
It's Atlanta's last game of the year, right through to the end of the championship game.

889
00:53:33,800 --> 00:53:40,320
Atlanta's only way in was that was to beat the Saints and then the Bucks will lose.

890
00:53:40,320 --> 00:53:44,800
Bucks game went fine when the Falcons were over.

891
00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:46,760
And they go and they score.

892
00:53:46,760 --> 00:53:51,440
After the game Arthur Smith is ballistic.

893
00:53:51,440 --> 00:53:53,920
He now fired Arthur Smith.

894
00:53:53,920 --> 00:53:54,920
Arthur Smith is ballistic.

895
00:53:54,920 --> 00:53:58,840
He's cursing out Dennis Allen going what the F was that.

896
00:53:58,840 --> 00:53:59,840
Some F-ing BS.

897
00:53:59,840 --> 00:54:02,840
You don't do BS like that.

898
00:54:02,840 --> 00:54:06,840
What the F is wrong with you etc.

899
00:54:06,840 --> 00:54:09,480
Dennis Allen looks very apologetic.

900
00:54:09,480 --> 00:54:11,040
He has his hands out.

901
00:54:11,040 --> 00:54:13,280
He's obviously not in a confrontational state.

902
00:54:13,280 --> 00:54:15,040
He's not defending his actions.

903
00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:17,000
He's not even being smug about it.

904
00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:19,560
He's clearly like no.

905
00:54:19,560 --> 00:54:21,280
You can see in the video like no.

906
00:54:21,280 --> 00:54:22,280
Like I get it.

907
00:54:22,280 --> 00:54:23,280
He's trying to talk to him.

908
00:54:23,280 --> 00:54:24,280
It ain't working.

909
00:54:24,280 --> 00:54:27,920
Smith curses him on and walks off.

910
00:54:27,920 --> 00:54:31,840
After the game Dennis Allen gets asked what happened.

911
00:54:31,840 --> 00:54:35,040
He does the unthinkable.

912
00:54:35,040 --> 00:54:37,960
He throws Jameis Winston under the bus.

913
00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:39,840
He said it wasn't me.

914
00:54:39,840 --> 00:54:41,400
I called a kneel.

915
00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:42,400
The team decided.

916
00:54:42,400 --> 00:54:46,200
I think you might have said Jameis decided to run the die to try and get Jamala touched

917
00:54:46,200 --> 00:54:47,480
down because he hadn't scored all year.

918
00:54:47,480 --> 00:54:48,480
They asked me about it.

919
00:54:48,480 --> 00:54:49,480
I told them no.

920
00:54:49,480 --> 00:54:50,480
They did it anyway.

921
00:54:50,480 --> 00:54:51,480
You know.

922
00:54:51,480 --> 00:54:54,480
Then Jameis Winston in the locker room.

923
00:54:54,480 --> 00:54:56,480
Of course not everybody in the whole.

924
00:54:56,480 --> 00:54:58,080
Now everybody heard Dennis Allen.

925
00:54:58,080 --> 00:55:00,120
They're all running Jameis Winston in the locker room.

926
00:55:00,120 --> 00:55:01,920
Jameis in the locker room doubles down.

927
00:55:01,920 --> 00:55:04,960
He said yeah it was a team decision to get Jamala touched down.

928
00:55:04,960 --> 00:55:06,600
He hadn't had one all year.

929
00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:08,160
We were on the one yard line.

930
00:55:08,160 --> 00:55:14,320
We had a team decision to get Jamala touched down.

931
00:55:14,320 --> 00:55:18,800
I'm going to put my stamp on this before I go into how I feel about Shannon Sharpe's

932
00:55:18,800 --> 00:55:21,120
death.

933
00:55:21,120 --> 00:55:26,440
My personal stamp on this is my only problem is victory formation.

934
00:55:26,440 --> 00:55:31,840
I think they did victory formation to stop Dennis Allen from calling a time out.

935
00:55:31,840 --> 00:55:34,040
Also the team was upset they threw Jamais in.

936
00:55:34,040 --> 00:55:35,760
Jamais hadn't been in the game yet.

937
00:55:35,760 --> 00:55:39,200
Throw Jamais in on the one yard line to take knees.

938
00:55:39,200 --> 00:55:40,760
At that point they dare car finish it.

939
00:55:40,760 --> 00:55:42,640
But whatever.

940
00:55:42,640 --> 00:55:47,400
My only issue with it is victory formation.

941
00:55:47,400 --> 00:55:52,040
Because in the NFL most sports when the other team is taking a knee even at the high school

942
00:55:52,040 --> 00:55:58,200
though if they come on victory formation they're taking knees the ref goes to both sides like

943
00:55:58,200 --> 00:55:59,640
hey don't fire off the ball.

944
00:55:59,640 --> 00:56:03,480
You just snapping the ball taking a knee and we're going to let the clock run.

945
00:56:03,480 --> 00:56:05,800
The game's over right.

946
00:56:05,800 --> 00:56:12,320
That's the ref say that like don't fire off the ball both sides kind of mutually kind

947
00:56:12,320 --> 00:56:18,320
of nod like especially with 41-17 both sides kind of mutually nod like okay cool.

948
00:56:18,320 --> 00:56:20,320
Let's just go home.

949
00:56:20,320 --> 00:56:22,480
Especially with both sides going home anyway.

950
00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:25,640
Let's just go home.

951
00:56:25,640 --> 00:56:28,040
That's my issue.

952
00:56:28,040 --> 00:56:30,480
Now the Saints didn't blow the Tigers out the ball.

953
00:56:30,480 --> 00:56:31,760
They didn't destroy them.

954
00:56:31,760 --> 00:56:37,320
They pushed just enough to let Jamais kind of squeak his head in there and get a touchdown.

955
00:56:37,320 --> 00:56:41,200
Because again the Falcons were probably told don't fire off the ball they're going to

956
00:56:41,200 --> 00:56:43,200
take a knee.

957
00:56:43,200 --> 00:56:46,160
Because in that moment sorry my nose is messing with me.

958
00:56:46,160 --> 00:56:49,160
In that moment the QB becomes protected pretty much the whole play.

959
00:56:49,160 --> 00:56:52,920
That's my only issue is that it was victory formation.

960
00:56:52,920 --> 00:56:55,120
Because the Falcons had no way to defend it.

961
00:56:55,120 --> 00:57:02,280
If Jamais switches it to traditional eye form and runs the dive no harm no foul I got that

962
00:57:02,280 --> 00:57:03,280
foul.

963
00:57:03,280 --> 00:57:07,280
But because they didn't victory formation the other team was off guard.

964
00:57:07,280 --> 00:57:08,280
That's my issue.

965
00:57:08,280 --> 00:57:14,600
Anyway so that night Shannon Sharp of course does fucking outro with Chad Johnson Chad

966
00:57:14,600 --> 00:57:15,600
Ojo Cinco.

967
00:57:15,600 --> 00:57:21,440
Talk about a couple other games let me get you that game.

968
00:57:21,440 --> 00:57:26,320
Shannon Sharp eviscerates Jamais wins.

969
00:57:26,320 --> 00:57:29,180
He called it loser mentality.

970
00:57:29,180 --> 00:57:32,000
He said that's the reason why he didn't win in Tampa.

971
00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:36,680
He said that's the mentality of why Tom Brady came with basically the same team and won

972
00:57:36,680 --> 00:57:37,680
a Super Bowl.

973
00:57:37,680 --> 00:57:41,220
Why Baker Mayfield basically the same team made the playoffs.

974
00:57:41,220 --> 00:57:44,760
He said that's a loser mentality that if he was on the team he would have jumped off

975
00:57:44,760 --> 00:57:47,920
sides on purpose to back him up and he couldn't do it.

976
00:57:47,920 --> 00:57:52,360
He said there is you know he went through all this stuff that you know Ryan Billick

977
00:57:52,360 --> 00:57:56,800
and Baltimore didn't have rules and he cursed guys out and made sure they got on the team

978
00:57:56,800 --> 00:58:00,160
bus when the Panthers wanted to pick him up from the Super Bowl practice and take him

979
00:58:00,160 --> 00:58:02,280
wherever.

980
00:58:02,280 --> 00:58:03,820
He spoke about leadership.

981
00:58:03,820 --> 00:58:07,720
He spoke about you know he would cut Jamais Winston today and no teams basically no teams

982
00:58:07,720 --> 00:58:11,140
to pick him up and he wouldn't be on his team and he didn't want him on his team.

983
00:58:11,140 --> 00:58:14,520
So on and so forth.

984
00:58:14,520 --> 00:58:19,840
And Chad Wachosinko was like man you're going a little strong like you know maybe that wasn't

985
00:58:19,840 --> 00:58:20,840
the situation.

986
00:58:20,840 --> 00:58:21,840
That's what Shannon Sharpe said.

987
00:58:21,840 --> 00:58:25,080
Well what if one of your kids did something you told them to do.

988
00:58:25,080 --> 00:58:30,200
Chad so you better have a basically a damn good reason why you did it.

989
00:58:30,200 --> 00:58:35,760
And then Shannon kept going like 10 minutes just going off on Jamais Winston.

990
00:58:35,760 --> 00:58:38,160
Then he comes on first take the next morning and he doubles down.

991
00:58:38,160 --> 00:58:42,080
Of course he cleans it up a little bit because he's on the ESPN Disney Airwaves and out on

992
00:58:42,080 --> 00:58:44,720
YouTube his own podcast his own platform.

993
00:58:44,720 --> 00:58:47,000
He cleans it up a little bit but he doubles down.

994
00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:48,000
I would cut Jamais Winston.

995
00:58:48,000 --> 00:58:49,000
He wouldn't be on my team.

996
00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:54,600
It's a loser mentality and all this stuff right.

997
00:58:54,600 --> 00:58:56,880
And then of course people going at him on Twitter.

998
00:58:56,880 --> 00:58:59,520
Change fans a lot are going at him on Twitter.

999
00:58:59,520 --> 00:59:02,120
Hey you know that's not right what you did.

1000
00:59:02,120 --> 00:59:07,280
You know but one of Shannon Sharpe's responses two things I want to highlight about the Twitter

1001
00:59:07,280 --> 00:59:08,360
interactions.

1002
00:59:08,360 --> 00:59:13,400
One every single player responds with positive for Jamais Winston either he's a great teammate

1003
00:59:13,400 --> 00:59:15,200
that's something that's really dope.

1004
00:59:15,200 --> 00:59:17,800
They're glad he did it.

1005
00:59:17,800 --> 00:59:18,800
Positive support.

1006
00:59:18,800 --> 00:59:22,880
Alva Kamara that's my naysayer.

1007
00:59:22,880 --> 00:59:25,720
You know positive support emphatic.

1008
00:59:25,720 --> 00:59:32,000
No one had a negative word from Jimmy Graham to Alva Kamara to Michael Thomas to Jamal

1009
00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:35,720
Williams after the game to anybody that made a comment.

1010
00:59:35,720 --> 00:59:37,380
Ben Watson I think was another one.

1011
00:59:37,380 --> 00:59:42,440
No player that commented especially from the Saints had a negative word to say.

1012
00:59:42,440 --> 00:59:44,280
Okay let's start off with that.

1013
00:59:44,280 --> 00:59:49,080
But then one other interaction on X I keep going on Twitter X.

1014
00:59:49,080 --> 00:59:52,680
Shannon Sharpe had what he said.

1015
00:59:52,680 --> 00:59:58,760
Imagine if it happened on Belichick Parcells and a couple of other legendary coaches in

1016
00:59:58,760 --> 01:00:01,160
his response.

1017
01:00:01,160 --> 01:00:04,640
And my point is exactly.

1018
01:00:04,640 --> 01:00:06,460
Exactly.

1019
01:00:06,460 --> 01:00:11,320
This was not a player issue because we don't know how deep rooted and some of the fans

1020
01:00:11,320 --> 01:00:13,800
said it like man they don't respect Dan Fallon.

1021
01:00:13,800 --> 01:00:15,480
Your DA about it there.

1022
01:00:15,480 --> 01:00:18,400
That's why that went down and was allowed to go down.

1023
01:00:18,400 --> 01:00:22,160
Nobody said it's Alan.

1024
01:00:22,160 --> 01:00:24,560
Imagine that happened on Bill Parcells.

1025
01:00:24,560 --> 01:00:30,760
Bill Parcells is cursing you out from the time you scored through the rest of the game

1026
01:00:30,760 --> 01:00:35,760
into the locker room cursing you off opening the door to the press conference.

1027
01:00:35,760 --> 01:00:40,200
You are probably at the press conference and go back to doing that.

1028
01:00:40,200 --> 01:00:43,520
But they would have never been in that spot on a Bill Parcells team.

1029
01:00:43,520 --> 01:00:44,960
They just wouldn't.

1030
01:00:44,960 --> 01:00:48,160
They wouldn't have been in that spot on the Bill Belichick team.

1031
01:00:48,160 --> 01:00:49,960
They wouldn't have been in that spot on the Andy Reid team.

1032
01:00:49,960 --> 01:00:52,240
They wouldn't have been in that spot on the Sean Payton team.

1033
01:00:52,240 --> 01:00:54,080
You're not in that position.

1034
01:00:54,080 --> 01:00:57,400
And you damn sure don't apologize to the enemy.

1035
01:00:57,400 --> 01:00:59,760
I'm sorry should they have that on Falcons?

1036
01:00:59,760 --> 01:01:03,160
As the Saints head coach are you serious?

1037
01:01:03,160 --> 01:01:08,800
I'm not a Saints fan, I'm a Patriots fan but I understand.

1038
01:01:08,800 --> 01:01:15,960
Like the amount, what little respect Dennis Allen had in that locker room and in that

1039
01:01:15,960 --> 01:01:17,400
fan base died.

1040
01:01:17,400 --> 01:01:19,920
And he apologized to the Falcons.

1041
01:01:19,920 --> 01:01:21,520
That's the one thing you don't do.

1042
01:01:21,520 --> 01:01:25,920
You can apologize to almost anybody else.

1043
01:01:25,920 --> 01:01:28,320
Like in human history.

1044
01:01:28,320 --> 01:01:31,240
You can't apologize to the Falcons.

1045
01:01:31,240 --> 01:01:42,000
Like I said, whatever cache respect, whatever he had in that locker room died.

1046
01:01:42,000 --> 01:01:47,400
It died in the time that he apologized to the Falcons.

1047
01:01:47,400 --> 01:01:50,040
You can't do that.

1048
01:01:50,040 --> 01:01:53,640
And my response to Shannon Sharpe is simply this.

1049
01:01:53,640 --> 01:01:56,720
Why are you holding Jameis Winston?

1050
01:01:56,720 --> 01:02:01,200
Being the leader of his team to a higher standard than the coach.

1051
01:02:01,200 --> 01:02:05,600
Because clearly there's a culture problem, there's a discipline problem, there's a respect

1052
01:02:05,600 --> 01:02:11,520
problem in that locker room if the team, as Jameis has repeatedly said every player in

1053
01:02:11,520 --> 01:02:16,720
the locker room backed up, the team decided to do something the coach explicitly said

1054
01:02:16,720 --> 01:02:18,920
not to do.

1055
01:02:18,920 --> 01:02:23,680
Why are you focusing on Carl Enzamas Winston a loser with loser mentality even though he

1056
01:02:23,680 --> 01:02:25,640
won at Florida State.

1057
01:02:25,640 --> 01:02:30,320
Loser with loser mentality as opposed to focus on Dennis Allen and what Dennis Allen did

1058
01:02:30,320 --> 01:02:32,480
or did not do with his locker room.

1059
01:02:32,480 --> 01:02:34,760
My answer is your facts are wrong.

1060
01:02:34,760 --> 01:02:40,000
Because that was not, yes it was a similar team that Brady had than Jameis with too many

1061
01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:41,000
differences.

1062
01:02:41,000 --> 01:02:46,760
One COVID, Tom Brady was legally practicing on video during the COVID time.

1063
01:02:46,760 --> 01:02:48,360
Nobody else was legally moving.

1064
01:02:48,360 --> 01:02:54,520
He was inviting people to a local high school in Florida illegally practicing.

1065
01:02:54,520 --> 01:02:55,520
That was commended.

1066
01:02:55,520 --> 01:02:57,560
That was showing he'd do anything to win.

1067
01:02:57,560 --> 01:03:02,680
As a matter of fact, if I remember correctly and I think I do, you got on Tom Brady on

1068
01:03:02,680 --> 01:03:04,360
TV for doing that.

1069
01:03:04,360 --> 01:03:10,160
Saying he wasn't following the rules.

1070
01:03:10,160 --> 01:03:12,040
It's also the COVID year.

1071
01:03:12,040 --> 01:03:14,400
So a lot of the teams started off really really slow.

1072
01:03:14,400 --> 01:03:18,320
If that was going to be time for you as a quarterback to get introduced to a new team

1073
01:03:18,320 --> 01:03:19,800
and to win it was that year.

1074
01:03:19,800 --> 01:03:20,800
Why?

1075
01:03:20,800 --> 01:03:21,800
Because no one had a training camp.

1076
01:03:21,800 --> 01:03:24,120
No one had an off season.

1077
01:03:24,120 --> 01:03:25,620
Not really.

1078
01:03:25,620 --> 01:03:29,520
So now everybody's trying to install.

1079
01:03:29,520 --> 01:03:32,320
Everybody's working with first time in months.

1080
01:03:32,320 --> 01:03:33,320
Everybody's doing all this stuff.

1081
01:03:33,320 --> 01:03:35,320
Everybody's on the same playing field.

1082
01:03:35,320 --> 01:03:38,400
That's why bad teams started off that year hot.

1083
01:03:38,400 --> 01:03:39,840
Because everybody was on the same playing field.

1084
01:03:39,840 --> 01:03:43,200
Then by week four, week five the gap showed back up.

1085
01:03:43,200 --> 01:03:46,040
But at that point Brady never had figured it out.

1086
01:03:46,040 --> 01:03:50,440
They had already done illegal practice etc. to get their chemistry together and now they

1087
01:03:50,440 --> 01:03:51,880
figured it out.

1088
01:03:51,880 --> 01:03:55,600
Also mind you that team was floundering and Brady was pissed.

1089
01:03:55,600 --> 01:03:57,200
What happened Mr. Shannon Sharp?

1090
01:03:57,200 --> 01:04:01,280
Oh that's when they had to come to Jesus meeting him and Bruce Arians about what they're going

1091
01:04:01,280 --> 01:04:02,480
to do with the offense.

1092
01:04:02,480 --> 01:04:03,480
Arians relented.

1093
01:04:03,480 --> 01:04:05,600
We're going to do a trail with Brady.

1094
01:04:05,600 --> 01:04:09,120
And then Brady rips off the run and they go in the Super Bowl.

1095
01:04:09,120 --> 01:04:11,680
It's not the fact that they switched to the same team.

1096
01:04:11,680 --> 01:04:16,480
It's the fact that they switched their entire offensive scheme to play Tom Brady's way.

1097
01:04:16,480 --> 01:04:17,480
Okay.

1098
01:04:17,480 --> 01:04:19,440
That's your first fallacy.

1099
01:04:19,440 --> 01:04:23,400
Your second fallacy Mr. Sharp is that Baker's doing with the same team.

1100
01:04:23,400 --> 01:04:24,400
I'm sorry.

1101
01:04:24,400 --> 01:04:26,080
I don't see Devon White.

1102
01:04:26,080 --> 01:04:27,640
I don't see Shaq Barrett.

1103
01:04:27,640 --> 01:04:28,640
Two defensive changes.

1104
01:04:28,640 --> 01:04:30,160
You're thinking that helps my case.

1105
01:04:30,160 --> 01:04:31,160
It doesn't.

1106
01:04:31,160 --> 01:04:36,040
Because that entire offensive staff that had no wrist kit, no biscuit.

1107
01:04:36,040 --> 01:04:38,480
That James had 5,000 yards, something like that.

1108
01:04:38,480 --> 01:04:40,120
30 touchdowns, 30 picks.

1109
01:04:40,120 --> 01:04:41,840
Along with Brady that got pissed.

1110
01:04:41,840 --> 01:04:43,440
He was throwing picks left and right.

1111
01:04:43,440 --> 01:04:45,040
He was pissed at the offense.

1112
01:04:45,040 --> 01:04:47,160
That staff is gone.

1113
01:04:47,160 --> 01:04:50,080
That's not Bruce Arians and Byron Leswitch anymore.

1114
01:04:50,080 --> 01:04:52,080
That's whoever the hell the OC is for Tampa.

1115
01:04:52,080 --> 01:04:54,160
But it ain't them.

1116
01:04:54,160 --> 01:04:56,960
So yeah, it may be a similar roster, but it's a different offensive scheme.

1117
01:04:56,960 --> 01:04:58,320
It's one that protects the quarterback a lot better.

1118
01:04:58,320 --> 01:05:00,160
It's a lot more west coast, a lot more play action.

1119
01:05:00,160 --> 01:05:03,840
A lot more shorter throws instead of no wrist kit, no biscuit from Bruce Arians and Byron

1120
01:05:03,840 --> 01:05:05,040
Leswitch.

1121
01:05:05,040 --> 01:05:06,840
So another one of your fallacies.

1122
01:05:06,840 --> 01:05:10,720
So you're slandering a guy and using information that's wrong.

1123
01:05:10,720 --> 01:05:15,240
You obviously say, well, why didn't Jamal Williams go 1 through 17?

1124
01:05:15,240 --> 01:05:17,200
Because he was injured.

1125
01:05:17,200 --> 01:05:20,920
Which again, had you done an ounce of research, you would have known.

1126
01:05:20,920 --> 01:05:26,640
So you're going through and slandering Jamal's Winston on fallacies and false information

1127
01:05:26,640 --> 01:05:31,320
and misinformation, fooling the average fan who's just going to back you up.

1128
01:05:31,320 --> 01:05:34,600
And everybody in your comment section, you were responding less than right.

1129
01:05:34,600 --> 01:05:35,600
Why?

1130
01:05:35,600 --> 01:05:36,600
Because you were wrong.

1131
01:05:36,600 --> 01:05:40,920
And at one point you said to Oconocho, I've been on this hill by myself.

1132
01:05:40,920 --> 01:05:41,920
You are.

1133
01:05:41,920 --> 01:05:48,080
Because even Steven A. Smith, my apologies, Steven A. Smith was like, he was kind of trying

1134
01:05:48,080 --> 01:05:49,080
to back you off.

1135
01:05:49,080 --> 01:05:52,200
I'm saying this a little bit because what you said was strong.

1136
01:05:52,200 --> 01:05:53,200
It was aggressive.

1137
01:05:53,200 --> 01:05:56,480
It actually was just as disrespectful as you claim Skip Bates was to you while you left

1138
01:05:56,480 --> 01:05:57,480
undisputed.

1139
01:05:57,480 --> 01:06:03,560
If you want to be perfectly frank, because Skip used to go little digs at your career

1140
01:06:03,560 --> 01:06:05,920
when he didn't represent Tom Brady.

1141
01:06:05,920 --> 01:06:11,040
You threw a shovel of dirt on Jamal's career and then you referenced your own.

1142
01:06:11,040 --> 01:06:12,320
It's the exact same thing.

1143
01:06:12,320 --> 01:06:15,920
And the words of you and the words of your grandfather, your grandmother, one of those

1144
01:06:15,920 --> 01:06:20,040
two great people who had influence on your life, the road to hell is paved with good

1145
01:06:20,040 --> 01:06:21,040
intentions.

1146
01:06:21,040 --> 01:06:26,440
If you don't be careful, you'll find yourself on a road you took to avoid something.

1147
01:06:26,440 --> 01:06:30,440
You did the same thing to Jamus you claim Skip Bates did to you.

1148
01:06:30,440 --> 01:06:33,160
You did the same exact thing.

1149
01:06:33,160 --> 01:06:37,240
Also, Skip was mostly right with this.

1150
01:06:37,240 --> 01:06:41,160
You were dead wrong on pretty much the entire situation.

1151
01:06:41,160 --> 01:06:45,080
And the fact you tried to point out your leadership moments throughout your career and then you

1152
01:06:45,080 --> 01:06:46,760
said that you would have jumped off sides.

1153
01:06:46,760 --> 01:06:48,160
So you would have wanted to get your entire team.

1154
01:06:48,160 --> 01:06:51,440
The other 45 active players didn't matter.

1155
01:06:51,440 --> 01:06:56,520
You was going to jump off sides because the coach no one respects was going to be his

1156
01:06:56,520 --> 01:06:57,520
rules going to stand.

1157
01:06:57,520 --> 01:06:58,520
That's leadership.

1158
01:06:58,520 --> 01:06:59,520
That's leadership.

1159
01:06:59,520 --> 01:07:04,120
I didn't know.

1160
01:07:04,120 --> 01:07:09,920
So Mr. Sharp, I know you're trying to capitalize on your Cat Williams fame and you can say

1161
01:07:09,920 --> 01:07:13,400
you're not because you're already telling me the haters are getting to you.

1162
01:07:13,400 --> 01:07:16,000
You already told us that it's bothering you a little bit.

1163
01:07:16,000 --> 01:07:19,760
You told us that you didn't expect this and you're overwhelmed with hate 35 million what

1164
01:07:19,760 --> 01:07:21,320
five days.

1165
01:07:21,320 --> 01:07:22,320
Same.

1166
01:07:22,320 --> 01:07:25,960
Maybe you're trying to take that one.

1167
01:07:25,960 --> 01:07:27,240
Maybe you felt really strongly about it.

1168
01:07:27,240 --> 01:07:28,240
I'm not sure.

1169
01:07:28,240 --> 01:07:29,240
But that was wrong.

1170
01:07:29,240 --> 01:07:30,240
A lot of levels.

1171
01:07:30,240 --> 01:07:31,240
You're wrong.

1172
01:07:31,240 --> 01:07:32,240
Your facts.

1173
01:07:32,240 --> 01:07:33,240
You're wrong.

1174
01:07:33,240 --> 01:07:34,240
Your feelings.

1175
01:07:34,240 --> 01:07:35,240
You're wrong.

1176
01:07:35,240 --> 01:07:36,240
Your stance.

1177
01:07:36,240 --> 01:07:37,240
It's okay.

1178
01:07:37,240 --> 01:07:38,240
It happens.

1179
01:07:38,240 --> 01:07:39,240
Right.

1180
01:07:39,240 --> 01:07:40,240
It happens.

1181
01:07:40,240 --> 01:07:41,240
But next time before you eviscerate someone the way you came in Jamus Winston, because

1182
01:07:41,240 --> 01:07:42,240
he's been very respectful about this process.

1183
01:07:42,240 --> 01:07:48,640
Jamus actually had a great back and forth to reporter and they were doing the LaKeith

1184
01:07:48,640 --> 01:07:50,520
Stanfield in the movie.

1185
01:07:50,520 --> 01:07:51,520
I hope you have a great day.

1186
01:07:51,520 --> 01:07:53,000
I hope you have an amazing week.

1187
01:07:53,000 --> 01:07:55,280
I hope you have a month of spectacular brother.

1188
01:07:55,280 --> 01:07:59,600
Like they were doing the respect thing, but you can clearly tell that was an underlying

1189
01:07:59,600 --> 01:08:00,600
current there.

1190
01:08:00,600 --> 01:08:04,180
But the overlay of the overlay thing was respect.

1191
01:08:04,180 --> 01:08:07,520
You came in Jamus Winston mentality.

1192
01:08:07,520 --> 01:08:09,040
You came at his play.

1193
01:08:09,040 --> 01:08:13,440
You said why Baker did this and Brady did that and how come Jamar wouldn't do this?

1194
01:08:13,440 --> 01:08:19,600
You did everything at Jamus Winston when you ignored the culture problem in New Orleans

1195
01:08:19,600 --> 01:08:21,880
under the stewardship of Dennis Allen.

1196
01:08:21,880 --> 01:08:23,200
You just let him go.

1197
01:08:23,200 --> 01:08:27,440
You even referenced cultures on X that it would have never happened to.

1198
01:08:27,440 --> 01:08:31,840
And you still not once mentioned Dennis Allen.

1199
01:08:31,840 --> 01:08:34,720
You know, Cat Williams said something on your show.

1200
01:08:34,720 --> 01:08:41,920
He said in your friendship potential, whatever with phase on love, you have an unnatural

1201
01:08:41,920 --> 01:08:44,600
allegiance to losers and that's unlike you.

1202
01:08:44,600 --> 01:08:47,120
Cat Williams didn't lie in that special.

1203
01:08:47,120 --> 01:08:49,720
But maybe he did about that and whether it is like it is.

1204
01:08:49,720 --> 01:08:55,480
Cause you definitely chose Dennis Allen's lack of organizational control and the regime

1205
01:08:55,480 --> 01:08:57,520
over Jamus Winston.

1206
01:08:57,520 --> 01:08:58,680
Interesting.

1207
01:08:58,680 --> 01:09:02,360
Not something I would have done.

1208
01:09:02,360 --> 01:09:04,480
Especially without facts.

1209
01:09:04,480 --> 01:09:09,360
About the rivalry, about Jamar Williams, about Jamus Winston, about what happened in Brady's

1210
01:09:09,360 --> 01:09:14,520
Super Bowl season, about what happened with Baker Mayfield this season.

1211
01:09:14,520 --> 01:09:19,880
How yes the teams are similar but the staff is not.

1212
01:09:19,880 --> 01:09:21,400
Interesting Mr. Sharp.

1213
01:09:21,400 --> 01:09:23,840
Very interesting decisions.

1214
01:09:23,840 --> 01:09:26,480
But that is all I have for today.
