Welcome into the show, a very special show.
I'm recording on a Tuesday night, so you guys will hear this Wednesday morning.
Very excited to be with you guys in this football playoff episode.
So we're not talking basketball.
I don't care about Major League Baseball, even though they're in their winter off season.
I don't care about hockey.
I don't care less what's going on there.
I'm not going to talk about anything unless it's a football playoff.
And there's only two of them happening, or have been happening, and that is the college
football playoff and of course the NFL playoffs begin this weekend.
So we're going to go back and do a recap of the college football playoff.
That game was dominant.
And the final score is actually closer than the game was, but at the same time, the dominant
aspect of how the game was played showed up in the final score.
And I was live tweeting it, drive for drive for the most part.
I missed a couple of drives in the third quarter, man, the clouds heating.
But you know, a couple of drives in the third quarter I didn't miss, but I was going drive
for drive for the most part.
Michigan had multiple opportunities in that game before they blew it open in the fourth
quarter.
They had multiple opportunities in that game to blow Washington out of the water.
Michael Pennings was off.
And of course that's a conspiracy theory floating around.
You know, he made a lot of money that night and he was hurt and he was injured.
I mean, he was hurt, he was paid to lose or whatever.
No, look, if we're going to do that with freshman sports, let's just cancel the sports.
Michigan was a better football team.
Michigan, I told you guys last week, honestly could have been the number one team all year.
The only reason why they weren't is because Georgia hadn't lost for two and a half years.
And so people kind of was like, until Georgia lose, they can't come down, which total respect.
You keep being undefeated, you're doing something right.
But Michigan played like the best football team all year.
Even when Jim Harbaugh got suspended, that Michigan team under Sharon Moore was when
he was on game day.
They dominated Penn State.
They won the Ohio State game.
I forgot the other game that they won.
But they won three big conference games coming down the stretch.
Of course, Harbaugh comes back full-fledged for the postseason and they finished off 15-0
season for team 144, as they called them in Michigan.
Because Michigan doesn't think about, oh, it's been, they don't think of, you know,
how LSU fans, for instance, think of the 2019 LSU, 2003 LSU, 2007 LSU.
When this past year's offense was spectacular, Michigan does team whatever year of football
they're in.
So team 144 delivers the first ever on field championship for the University of Michigan
as they began playing football in 1880.
But back to the game.
So when you look at that game, that game was a matchup of two developed rosters.
This is regards going into the game, it was highly publicized.
This is going to be the worst by recruiting ranked champion in the past like 10, 20 years.
In terms of the average star ranking on the team, et cetera, based on high school recruiting,
this is going to be a developmental championship.
Meaning these guys weren't very highly recruited.
Maybe they were highly recruited, but they weren't the five stars everybody wanted.
They weren't really the upper level four stars everybody wanted.
This is a lot of mid-level fours, three-star, two-star guys.
Transferal portal guys in the case of Washington.
You look at their leader Michael Pennings.
Developed guys in the case of Blake Quarman.
You look at Michigan.
J.J. McCarthy was a pretty decent and highly rated recruit, but by average of star rating,
this was the lowest, regardless of which team won, the lowest national champion in like
the past 10 or 20 years.
The problem was Michigan had more raw talent.
We're going to put it up there.
Michigan had more raw talent.
Washington's only hope going into the game.
I thought it'd be a shootout.
I think I predicted 34-31, 34-30 somewhere in there.
Michigan hit 34 in the head.
Washington, if they were to flip their digits around, would have hit them in the head.
They ended with 13.
Washington's only chance in that game was to outspeed Michigan using the dunze and the
rest of that vertical and horizontal passing attack.
It's how speed Michigan and for Johnson, I think it's on the back thing, who got hurt
in the first play, who came into the game injured, for Johnson to be effective.
I don't mean three yards a pop second and seven.
Then now Penich is throwing a second and third down.
First down carry, six, now second and four.
Now they can either run it again.
We know the play action game's involved.
Now those corners are saying they have to keep their eyes on the run game.
That's when the dunze and the rest of the group start flying around.
He suffered a high ankle sprain, the running back dead in the first play of the game.
After that, he gutted through the game.
He played the whole game.
He gutted it through, but you can tell he wasn't there.
He said it after the game.
He said, I was diagnosed with a high ankle sprain.
What was I going to do, sit?
He gutted it through the whole game.
Kudos to him for some absolute toughness.
Trevor Lawrence, people thought it was a miracle when he came back from a high ankle sprain
the next week.
These guys suffered a high ankle sprain and played the rest of the game and got carries.
It wasn't like he was a decoy just to be in there.
He got carries up the middle, stretches, everything.
They kept the offense fairly similar to where they normally is for Washington.
The issue was Michigan no longer feared their own game.
When you allow a defensive coordinator, Michigan has two.
No.
Michigan has two.
Whatever.
When you allow a defensive coordinator, a defensive staff, to not worry about one attack,
he makes it hard.
Right?
You can see it on both sides.
Michigan, after Johnson got hurt, no longer cared about the run game.
They were willing to go with four and to have the linebacker fill in the gap.
They weren't really run blitzing anymore.
They were pass blitzing.
If they were going to blitz, they were sending pass blitzes.
They were doing everything they can to disrupt Michael Panics because they no longer had
to concern themselves with stopping the run.
Instead of being a dynamic back in the backfield, it was a pretty average running back because
he was on one leg put together, a high ankle sprained on one, and then came in with a knee
injury on the other.
That allowed that Michigan defense, specifically those linebackers, to when they did the... Both
linebackers were in the line and they bailed out, they didn't even have to worry about
man, we might have to put our foot in the dirt and come back down because the running
back couldn't make that much noise.
Plus the Michigan D-line overmatched the Washington O-line all night.
It looked a lot like when UCLA played Colorado.
I noticed UCLA, because Colorado has such a poor offensive line, UCLA did everything
they could to make one-on-one blocks.
Because if I can double team, if I can slide to a weak blocker, whatever, I can help out.
For instance, the weak blocker on Washington last night was 73.
73 had several, a couple of big holdings, had a bad fall start.
73 was their weak link.
So I'm sure in that game, the offense would have loved to slide his way, chip with the
running back, do things to try and help him out a little bit against that Michigan edge
rush.
The problem was what Michigan decided to do was they decided to pre-snap, show you man
on man.
When I mean man on man is you have five blockers.
So Michigan would walk both linebackers down, maybe even an overhanging player to one side
and put six on the line, or five or six on the line.
So now the old lineman has to point, that's my guy, this is my guy.
So everybody's acknowledged one-on-one.
When those linebackers would bail, those people who were supposed to block the linebackers,
it's impossible for them to immediately shift to helping.
Because number one, that's not in the blocking scheme.
Number two, the guy you would help isn't expecting your help.
So he's not, for instance, that tackle over kick-stepping to make the D-end come in, and
then you have a help guard.
Or if you're a guard, you're not trying to push your guys to the outside because you
have tackle help, or shove your guy inside because you have center help, you're thinking
in your mind it's one-on-one.
So now the guards in this scenario are useless.
They're just standing there blocking air because they were accounting for the linebackers.
So now both tackles and the center are effectively one-on-one.
And Michigan was taking advantage of that matchup all night.
It also meant the running back hesitate because if it's six people up there, we got five
of his linemen, somebody has to come free, which means either the running back becomes
the hot route or he has to stay in the help block.
So now when those linebackers and those guys were bailing out, the running back now guarded
himself for a second or two.
Now at that time, so those linebackers had a chance to get depth before the running back
even came out of the backfield.
I mean, it was a great strategy by Michigan, and they hit Pennings all night.
Now there were some opportunities for Pennings to really come back in this game, and the
announcing crew repeatedly showed plays where I think because of that simulated pressure,
he was kind of pre-read the defense, and they were mixing up a lot of the post-snap, pre-snap
reads.
The big throw, of course, if you already remember, the fourth down play, which if he hits it,
Washington probably scores that position, ties the game up.
We could be having a different conversation right now.
Third play call, a doomsday pops wide open, Pennings misses the throw.
In that second half, as it was 17-10, they ended up in 20-13 in the third quarter, Pennings
missed not the throw, but the read a couple of times.
He had a doomsday on a crossing route.
He ended up throwing an out route to the opposite of the field.
Oh no, that was the pick.
The pick to end the game, a doomsday, one of the picks in the second half, a doomsday
is coming across the field on a dig route.
He tries to force the ball in, I don't know what Pennings was doing here, tries to force
the ball in, felt like he predetermined that he wanted to throw it.
Crazy part of his wasn't a bad throw.
If his receiver was sitting down in that zone instead of running through it, he probably
hits him in the chest in the middle of four Michigan defenders.
The issue is he doesn't sit, he keeps running, and the ball hits a Michigan player in the
chest.
Then there was another play, I think it was an interception, an intermission, incompletion,
where the tight end pops right up the seam by himself.
There's nobody there.
For a quarterback with Pennings' arm, that's an easy throw.
His thighs are right through the middle of the gap, the tight end walks into the end
zone.
Again, it could be 20 to 20, we're having another conversation here, potentially.
He just missed it.
Then what also happened in the second half was something that if you guys watch from
Michigan, I love hardball, so I watch Michigan a lot.
If you notice, Michigan would get into games where they look up and go, the other team
can't beat us.
They can't do it.
I don't know if that's a Jim Harbaugh call, I don't know if the defensive coordinator,
defensive staff, they can't score.
I don't know if that's a Sherone Moore just observing.
Man, that other offense isn't moving it very much.
They kind of go into modes where they don't throw the ball.
You saw that at Penn State where the whole fourth quarter, McCarthy basically turned
around and handed the ball to Corm and Donovan and just pounded Penn State into oblivion.
They did it the year before the Penn State, they ran it 26 times and ran the game out
against Penn State.
They did it again this year towards the end of the game, they just stopped throwing the
ball.
Against Ohio State, they just stopped throwing the ball.
We're just going to out-physical you.
McCarthy made a couple of big throws against Ohio State, but for the most part, that was
a lot of two and seven coming downhill at Ohio State.
They were just better than Iowa.
In the Alabama game, in that second half, it gained to be a lot of two and seven.
Of course, in overtime, it was Blake Corm right on the power and they ran the exact
same play like they flipped it in Madden and ran it left and scored.
Then this game, that first quarter, Michigan came out to physically dominate this game.
They wanted to show Michigan, you guys cannot physically match up with us.
Donovan Wilson, I think it's his name, I'm sorry if it's not, Donovan Wilson pops two
big long runs in that first quarter.
He goes two carries, like 87 yards and two touchdowns in the first quarter.
Blake Corm wears him down as well.
Michigan actually went into the half with 200 yards rushing.
Here's what's the interesting part about that.
Remember how I spoke about a few minutes ago, Washington had no run game.
So Michigan just began to stop the pass.
So now Penn is dealing with a crazy stunt that you don't know where it's coming from
because the front looks the same every time.
It's either nobody, it's everybody, it's one person, it's a twist, it's a game.
It was all kind of stuff happening.
For Michael Penn, his eye sight is a line.
He's also dealing with the fact that it's a blanket cover because everybody's dropping
out.
Michigan had the exact other problem, the 2-V-T other problem.
They weren't throwing the ball.
McCarthy was off.
He ended up, I think, 8 of 16 for the game or 9 of 17, something near 50% passing.
He were very, very off.
So what that did was the yards per carry bottomed out.
Michigan had, it was the ASPN graphic, late in the third quarter, Michigan had 19.2 yards
per carry in the first quarter.
The second quarter it was 4.4.
In the third quarter it was 4.2 because what Michigan did to them was they were giving
all these overload looks, all these heavy packages.
They was motioning everybody over, running counters backside, just doing stuff because
Washington still was kind of stuck between guard and run paths.
When they realized McCarthy wasn't really playing that well, they began to load it up.
So the one thing to stop a heavy package, especially when backside countering and stuff,
is to load it up.
So when you run those pullers away, the people who are supposed to have their origin, supposed
to be blocking, just follow them in and blows the run up.
It was, and it caused a mess in the Michigan run game and it slowed the game down.
The game actually hauled to a creek, or to a creek in the third quarter.
Like I said, exchange of field goals and punts.
Then the fourth quarter, Michigan busted open.
By the end of the game, Panthers was holding his ribs.
By the second to last, third to last series, every time he gets touched he's on the ground
holding his ribs.
All kudos to him for surviving the game and finishing the game.
I'm sure there'll be a report in the near future that he played with fractured ribs
or cracked ribs or that those ribs were damaged in some shape, form, or fashion.
So kudos to Michael Pennings for battling through.
But now let's go to the victors.
Let's go to Michigan.
Again, kudos to being 15 and 0.
But let's go to Jim Harbaugh.
He finally did it.
He's had some very good football teams.
He had good ones at Stanford, just didn't have the overall talent level to win big.
He won at San Diego State, but of course San Diego State you're not going to get much love
there.
He was in the 40s.
He was in the Subo with the 49ers.
He was in a couple of other championship games with the 49ers.
Of course he was the coach during the infamous You Tried Me With A Sire receiver like Crabtree,
Richard Sherman rant.
I'm pretty sure he was the head coach of the Niners in that game.
And of course he made it to the Subo against his brother John.
They asked him to ask his parents who he was rooting for.
Again, it was John beat Jim.
John ultimately beat Jim.
Jim ends up leaving the Niners, gets fired, and leaves for part ways, whatever, and ends
up with Michigan.
Struggled out of the gate.
He's been in Michigan for eight years now.
Struggled out of the gate.
For these last three years, man, they figured it out.
He's got it down.
He didn't have a quarterback at Michigan.
It's really weird.
For the first part of the tenure, he just couldn't get a quarterback.
So now he got Jayden McCarthy, who we call the best QB to ever play in Michigan.
I kind of can't disagree.
I mean, he's not nearly as exciting as a guy like Denar Robinson.
He doesn't have the pro career of a guy like Tom Brady, but as far as any Michigan jersey
and the maize and blue, I can't necessarily disagree with that.
Jim Harbaugh himself played at Michigan, so if anybody knows about Michigan quarterback
history, it's him.
But he goes on this magical run, and it's so Jim Harbaugh.
It's so Jim Harbaugh.
It's run the ball.
It's physical defense.
It's an athletic quarterback who can make the right throws when he needs to.
It's controversial.
He suspended three games for the sign-spilling scandal.
It's magical at the end.
It's nail-biting.
It's frustrating.
It's, oh no, it almost didn't happen.
But usually what Harbaugh does, right?
Usually with Harbaugh, it finishes with, oh no, it didn't happen again.
The Super Bowl.
The game's been so high, I'll say it early.
It usually finishes with the Rose Bowl last year, the TCU.
It usually finishes with, oh no, it just didn't happen again.
Not this time, right?
Jim Harbaugh wins Michigan's first national title of any sort since 1998, where they split
with Nebraska, their first outright title, I believe, ever.
Definitely their first, what I call, on-the-field title, which is a national championship game
they wanted.
Jim Harbaugh, thanks to this, goes over $10 million in salary this year due to his incenses
of winning Big Ten and the playoff game and the national championship.
And now I think he heads to the Chargers.
And to me, it's the worst kept secret in sports.
I'm betting my professional reputation on this.
Every single T-Leave has him going to the Chargers.
And he's a quick rundown of the T-Leaves.
He was linked to the Chargers, fired their head coach Brandon Stanley, worst coach in
football, smart decision, and they fired GM Tom Telesco.
Now, I didn't think that was all that smart.
Tom Telesco is one of the best GMs in football.
That Chargers roster is legit.
However, if he hired the coach, then maybe his decision making ain't that great.
But that head coach, that Chargers roster, excuse me, is legit.
Herbert, Eckler, Bosa, Mack, Kenan Allen, Quentin Johnson starting to come on a little
bit, Kenneth Murray, I miss somebody, a big fella, Mike Wood, and it's Parnham at tight
end.
That's a legitimate roster, right?
And so I don't expect him to be out of work long.
And so, okay, that's interesting.
But it's always the Kirby Smart, Jim Harbaugh, and it's another one, I think Bnemy, has been
linked to one personnel, either personnel control or be able to pick their own GM, which
is effectively personnel control, but out of the legwork.
And that's the arrangement that the Niners have.
Kyle Shanahan picked John Lynch, so he has personnel control without doing the legwork
that John Lynch has to do, right?
Cool.
And then, so that happened with the Chargers.
And then it comes out, Jim Harbaugh, I mean, less than a week later, Jim Harbaugh is seriously
considering a return to the NFL.
Usually it's Harbaugh linked to the NFL just in general, but this is a pretty serious,
hard report.
Like he's very interested.
And there's a very long time for suspension.
Well, no, suspension hasn't happened yet.
So then he gets suspended, okay?
One of his big complaints started by Kyle was the rules, right?
That's what makes most college coaches go pro if they can, is just the rulebook and
it's the way it's painted in the book.
Then Harbaugh switches representation to Don Yee.
Don Yee is a known super agent.
He's got Tom Brady and Sean Payton as a couple of his clients.
He is the guy in the NFL, if you want your name in the NFL circles, it's Don Yee.
Okay?
He does that.
Less than 72 hours after that, big report comes out.
The charges are going to aggressively pursue Jim Harbaugh and the All-Stars.
When Jim Harbaugh is asked about this at the National Championship game, media day, he
sidesteps with the same line.
We are focused on the here and now.
We're a team that's focused on today.
We're going to go out and be the best we can today.
We're going to wake up tomorrow and try and be the best we can and try and win that day.
Kept saying it repeatedly.
And the tea leaves kept swirling.
Kept swirling.
Reports to the left and right about Harbaugh, to the NFL, et cetera.
I would be shocked if the next head coach of the Los Angeles Chargers isn't Jim Harbaugh.
I don't see Harbaugh going to the Raiders.
Trap, strap, fans loving Tony O'Piers.
Going into the Lions, then people waiting on you to mess it up.
Don't see him going to Washington.
Chicago's keeping the Eber flu.
Carolina's a mess.
I think if Jim Harbaugh's going to turn down eight to $10 million base salary from Michigan,
he's going to go somewhere he can win.
I think the Chargers are set up for him to win right now.
They have a notified with-ball draft pick.
They can draft a really good offensive lineman to protect Justin Herbert, and they can go
win football games right now.
Whether he brings Sharon Moore in as the OC for the Lions or Sharon Moore, not the Lions,
the Chargers or Sharon Moore gets the Michigan job, all that'll be decided once Harbaugh
makes his decision, but I think I'm pretty sure he's going to be the next head coach
of all of Tangle's Chargers.
It's official, ladies and gentlemen.
We have gone through the 10-year era of the college football playoff, four-team era.
Eh, whatever.
We're officially through the four-team era of the college football playoff.
It's officially over.
Of course, next year we convert to the 12-year playoff, which I think erases the biggest
problem people have with the playoff, that the games aren't close.
That's the issue, and I don't think that gets solved in the first round, because for
instance, this year Georgia would have played Liberty in Athens.
Yeah, that's 48-3.
You know what I'm saying?
That's an abuse.
But I think it does solve some of the later games.
For instance, 1-4 be off, 5-12 have to play.
Everybody goes around.
More than likely, most of the time, the teams left are going to be 1-8.
So when you get to that third round, some of those teams have won two games.
They're rolling.
They're hot.
If it's a higher seed, they won one.
If it's a top-4 seed, they won one game, proving that they're really good.
But if it's a 7 seed, knock off a 10, and then knock off a 2, or something like that,
now they're rolling.
They're hot.
So you can see a team that had a quarterback injury, that had a slow start, that ended
up in that ranking position, and now they're potentially winning a match championship,
because they were able to prove it on the field.
So that's what's going to make, to me, the games are a lot closer.
Maybe not the first round, but the second, third, and ultimately the match championship,
they're going to have to win at least two games to get to the match championship.
It's not like Michigan 1-1 to play the Natty.
They're going to have to win at least two, because if you have the first round off, you
still have to beat somebody in the round of eight, beat somebody in the semifinals, then
play in the match championship.
So some college teams may win four games in the postseason to win the Natty.
You're going to have to win at least three.
So I think that's going to make sure that those games at the end are close, because
these teams are going to have to be battle tested so long to even get there.
But up next, we are going to shift to the NFL and talk about Super Wild Card we get.
Welcome back into the show.
And now we're going to talk about the NFL Super Wild Card we get.
Ladies and gentlemen, we made it.
There was a lot of guys excited over the past weekend.
Chris Jones basically threw a party on the sidelines for his sack, giving him his $1.25
million incentive, Jadaviaon Clown.
He got his incentives.
A couple of guys felt woefully short, very painfully short, not woefully, painfully short.
If I was the owner, I would just convert them into roster bonuses or whatever, do something
to get those guys that money.
Those guys that finished like 13 yards short of an incentive for like $250k or one catch,
I think I seen for $250k.
But D-Hawk, D-Hawk cashed in both of his incentives for $500k.
Odell cashed in for $250k.
Some of those guys cashed in, some of the time they don't.
I mean, you can't think of a guy who was literally one catch short of his incentive number for
$250k.
If you're that close, I'm gonna convert it, right?
I'm a billionaire, it's your money, dude, you got it.
So that's always fun the last weekend of the year.
But also the last weekend of the year is fun when there's deciding seeds.
Steelers get in the playoffs, shout out to them.
Jaguars go into a long off season.
Imagine five weeks ago telling the Jaguars, you're not gonna make the playoffs.
They were already starting to pre-sell playoff tickets in the end of November.
They were three games up in the division, like five left to go in the season.
Two of them were division games, one of them was Titans that were basically taking, I think
for the last three or four weeks of the season their magic number was one.
They do win one game a year and they just didn't.
Everything that could have gone wrong for them, like Pittsburgh being viable, Buffalo
charging back, all those things, literally everything went wrong for Jacksonville.
And like I said, it sends them into an incredibly long off season with a lot of questions.
People are questioning Trevor Lawrence right now.
People are questioning Doug Peterson right now.
People are questioning that GM, whether that's enough talent on that team.
There's a lot of questions in a long off season for Jacksonville.
You've got Buffalo, they went into the weekend staring at potentially two seed or at home
and ended up winning the division for the fourth year in a row.
You've got Miami now with a lot of questions.
The Patriots won four games all year.
Two of them are against 500 or better teams.
The Dolphins are in the playoffs right now and only have one win versus such teams.
There's a lot of questions in Miami right now.
But in some seasons we're mercifully over.
The Chargers season is mercifully over.
The Patriots, the Cardinals, they're mercifully over.
The Panthers are mercifully over.
That's a horrible job right now.
Tennessee is a horrible job right now.
They fired Mike Vrabel for some unknown reason.
Tennessee is a horrible job right now.
You have no assets to trade, no money and no draft picks.
That's an awful job right now.
Carolina is an awful job.
You have a lot of money, but who are you going to spend it on?
And then you don't own your own first round draft pick.
So your earliest pick is pick 33.
That's a bad job right now.
And so a lot of things going on, the running back class is going to be intriguing.
Jacobs, Barkley and Henry back on the market.
But we're going to talk about all that another time.
Right now we're going to focus on the super wild card weekend.
We're going to go game by game.
We're going to pick them.
We're going to discuss some of the huge, you know, how we get down at JTS.
But Saturday it kicks off with Browns at Texans.
We're going to discuss the game in order of how they're played.
So Browns at Texans, Browns are a two and a half point favorite on the road at Houston.
That's an interesting line because it's telling me on a neutral side, Houston's five and a
half points worse than Cleveland.
I don't get that one.
Cleveland looked pretty rough in week 18.
Houston won a game of Clutchster season.
Now they didn't look pretty while doing it, but they got it done.
And they are a young team.
And that's the team that people should watch for in the off season.
Obviously they still got football to be played, but that's the team people should be looking
for in the off season.
Think about all their best players.
Think about everybody you think of on the Texans.
And I'm sure there's some guys, the fans know I don't, but think about all the important
people on the Texans.
CJ Stroud, rookie.
Will Anderson, rookie.
Tank Dale, rookie.
So yeah, quarterback, rookie.
Tank Dale, rookie.
Top receiver and edge rusher are rookies.
Derrick Singley is on his rookie contract.
Dalton Kincaid, yeah I think it's Dalton.
Dalton Schultz, very manageable contract.
They're going to have a lot of money in cap.
That is going to be a very dangerous team.
Your T Higgins of the world, Nikko Collins isn't bad, but your T Higgins of the world,
your Derrick Henrys of the world, your Saquon Barkley of the world.
If I'm one of those guys, I'm calling Houston, all my agent and cons of Houston, because they're
going to be able to spend money for the next two to three years and still control their
cap because all their best players are so young.
Now in three years, Singley will have gotten paid, Tank, Anderson, Stroud, the whole nine
yards, all bets are off.
But for the next three years, they have an opportunity to take advantage of a lot of
their great players being on rookie deals.
But anyway, you're trying to tell me that the Texans are five and a half points worse
than the Browns.
No.
Playing it simple, the only way I see the Browns even being one point favorites in this
game is the fact that Houston's so young, but ain't like Cleveland, got a whole lot of
playoff experience themselves.
What smiles Garry's playoff experience?
Lamar Cooper, Kareem Hunts been a playoff, but that was a patch of my own.
Joe Flacco probably hadn't seen a playoff except on TV in the past five years.
Kevin Spafanski, he's got a great playoff record.
I didn't think so.
Like, so yes, Demykro Ryan is the first year head coach.
Yes, CJ Stroud is a rookie.
But up until CJ Stroud got concussion, he was very seriously in MVP discussions.
I mean incredibly seriously.
Now Joe Flacco, David, play of the month in December, very earned, 1300 yards, 13 touchdowns,
one pick, maybe two picks, incredibly earned.
But we're not going to act like Cleveland's this well-oiled machine who caught a bad break
from a division opponent and now they have to go on the road to in the playoffs.
Like, no, they, you know, Deshaun Watson was poor and he was injured and Nick Chubb blew
his knee apart.
Like they have their issues.
They're illegitimate to me, five seed.
And I think Houston actually wins this game all right.
Not just the point spread but wins the game all right.
The better quarterbacks in Houston.
Split when it comes to coaching.
Receive advantage right now Cleveland.
Edge rush for Cleveland.
Miles Garey is one of the best edge rushers in football.
I just think Houston wins the game.
I think if we go position by position, Cleveland may have the edge on paper.
But I think Houston wins the game.
In Houston, a lot of energy fired up, a lot of noise swirling around Houston.
They're going to be fired up.
We thought it was loud for Michigan.
Washington, that first playoff game, it's going to roar in Houston.
And I think that they may end up actually, I think they may end up, they score that,
if they score on the field and score on that first drive, they may run away and hide with
it because of that energy of that crowd, the energy and momentum of that team.
They may run away and hide away from Cleveland if they score early and fast.
So that is something to watch for.
But I have Houston winning that game out right.
In the Saturday night game, then I kept the Dolphins at Chiefs in the frozen arrowhead.
Projected game dot time temperature is between zero and two degrees.
And so, yeah, Miami is going to go play a football game in between zero and two degrees.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Zero and two.
The Miami Dolphins.
Speed and you know, Miami are going to go play a football game on the road in zero or
two degrees.
It is one of the coldest games in league history.
The winds are also supposed to be born between 10 and 20 mile an hour.
It's a Chiefs paradise in terms of they're used to it.
I mean, the photos who I share in my home is running around in the snow.
It's what the Chiefs are used to.
It's in Kansas City.
I was watching Uncle Nocho and Chad Johnson was like, you don't get that cold in Kansas
City.
And Sharper's like, dude, have you ever played in Kansas City?
Like it's going to be between zero and two degrees.
10 and 20 mile an hour winds all game.
Spelling disaster in my opinion for the Dolphins.
That down to fill passing game, you're going to have to throw it through howling winds
and two, it doesn't already have the world's strongest arm.
It's not like Tyree Hughes to play in this weather.
I agree, but he's been a Miami boy for most of, not all, for a past couple of years.
He's been a Miami guy.
Two of them are islands.
Those guys have been playing in Miami all year.
Like colds around Miami is like six or something.
And now they got to go play in zero degrees versus a Chiefs team that stole the bye.
And then you get the Miami team come off an emotional let down, just a let down.
They went from potential two seed playing the bills again in the playoffs to they're
at the sixth seed and having to go on the road to Kansas City again, who stole the by
Travis Kelsing and played week 18, Patrick Mahomes, Pacheco.
A lot of the stars, Chris Jones did to get his incentive, but a lot of the stars on that
team did not play.
So they stole an effective bye week and they get a team that's emotionally dejected.
They went from standing at posting their playoff game to going on the road and they frozen
arrowhead.
So the points for right now is Dolphins plus four.
I've got the Chiefs winning that game outright.
I don't think the Dolphins will be able to move legitimately.
I just don't see the environment being conducive to their success.
So I've got the Chiefs here kind of ugly though.
Twenty four to fourteen.
That secondary is going to be allowed because of how cold is going to be.
They're going to be able to keep up with those Dolphins receivers.
I don't know if the zone runs going to be effective, having to cut back in a lot of
the misdirection like we didn't like to run.
There's going to be a lot of cutting back on the frozen field, but we will definitely
keep our eye on it, of course.
But I've got the Chiefs winning the game and covering the four points.
Moving into Sunday, probably the game I'll talk about the fastest, Steelers at Bills.
This is an overmatch.
I mean this is playing it simple.
It's an overmatch.
The Steelers already have a bad offense.
Now they're going to go in without TJ Watts.
So they're not even truly scaring Josh out on the other side.
This is going to be an absolute blowout.
The point spread is ten.
I think it should be twelve and a half, thirteen.
But this is going to be an absolute destruction by the Bills.
The Bills are going to be going high with this one.
Thirty four, ten, thirty four, thirteen.
I don't see any way the Steelers even keep it close.
I'm glad it's the noon game because by two o'clock it will be over.
I just don't see this as a, it's not a playoff game.
It's like the, it's like the, the console playoff next year.
The FCS school or the group of five school plays the five seed.
It's like, yep, this is an overmatch.
That's how it feels to the Steelers and the Bills.
Not healthy.
No TJ Watts.
There's nothing that scared Josh Allen.
This is an overmatch.
Kind of how I feel about the Dolphins too.
They have no edge rushers.
They're signing edge rushers off the street trying to just get edge rushers on the team
to even go play against Chiefs.
It's just stuff working against people.
So I've got the Bills obviously winning and obviously covering the ten points.
And also reunion weekend.
I forgot to touch on that.
It's also kind of reunion weekend.
For instance, Miami Tyree Hill goes into Arrowhead.
I can't think of reunion in the Steelers and Bills, but Mike McCarthy faces the Packers
in the playoffs.
So the Packers play the Cowboys in the playoffs.
Cowboys are minus seven and a half.
So seven and a half were the favorites.
I forgot the Packers actually covering the spread.
I think the Cowboys win the game.
I think the Packers keep it close.
The reason why is they can run the ball and the Cowboys honestly can't.
Jai Alexander is going to have to put his money away, his mouth days, and guard a CD
lamb.
But the Packers can run the ball.
Aaron Jones and A.J. Dillon can run the ball.
They can make this game shorter.
Jordan Love has the second most pattern size in the league, only behind Dak Prescott.
And Dak has struggled against higher level secondaries.
Jai Alexander makes the Packers a higher level secondary because he is able to guard a CD
lamb.
He is able to lock up one side of the field.
That makes the Packers a high level secondary.
So I've got the Packers actually keeping this game closer than the seven and a half.
I've got it being 28-24 Dallas.
Dallas wins the game.
But they make the Packers make them sweat it out all the way through.
In our next reunion, in our last reunion, to me our biggest reunion is Matthew Stafford
and Los Angeles Rams at the Detroit Lions.
Lions minus three.
I've got the Rams winning out right.
And how fitting would that be, right?
The first, how fitting is it already?
The first playoff game Detroit has hosted ever in forward field as far as I know.
Their first NFC North Division title ever.
So it's definitely their first first round game hosted ever.
Because when you get a first round game you have to win your division.
So they were wild cards whenever they did make the playoffs.
I know they always lost to Matt Stafford.
They were like 0-3 or 0-4 with Matt Stafford.
Before him it was dark.
Like this could be their first home playoff game in forward field ever.
Now I count my history in the 80s and 90s when I'm saying this.
When they moved to the forward field this is their first home playoff game ever.
At one point they had Matt Stafford and Calvin Johnson.
They made the playoffs.
They just never won the division.
They never had a home game and how fitting is it that when they finally get it with Dan
Campbell, Jared Goff, Jermarie Gibbs, Amon Rock, St. Brown, Aiden Hutchinson and the
rest of that Detroit Lions crew including both of their corps that has been requested
for interviews.
How fitting is it that Matthew Stafford arrives, right?
And it's like that trade that happened with them in full force.
In staring at each other where Matthew Stafford and Jared Goff basically problem for problem.
Stafford had kind of worn out his welcome in Detroit and was looking to move on.
Jared Goff needed a fresh start.
So the two quarterbacks got a spot for each other and Stafford won a two ball ring with
the Rams.
Then Goff has now brought Detroit to their first home playoff game in forward field history
and how fitting is it that Stafford could be the one to beat Detroit in their first
home playoff game?
I think he does.
I think he gets it done.
I think it's a shootout.
Aaron Donald makes the play, Aiden Hutchinson does it.
34-31 Rams and Stafford jogs off a forward field with a playoff victory for the first
time in his career.
And then the nightcap or the Monday night game that I believe was the last Monday night
game of the year.
Eagles at bucks, bucks plus three take the Eagles to cover and the win.
All right.
Look, I get it.
I get it.
The Eagles have played horrible.
They are the second team in NFL history to start 10 and one and better and never make
the 12 wins.
In context, that is one and five to close the season because again, it's not only one
and four, but it's one and five now to close the season.
They started off 10 and one.
They never made it to 12 wins.
They win, they win one and five the rest of the year, ultimately go from a inside track,
a big inside track on the one seed to not even winning on division.
It was rough.
And then the week 18, Jaylen Hurtsfinger popped out of place.
AJ Brown has a situation.
Devon Smith gets a situation.
You know, now you're just adding all these situations in, in these different struggles.
And the team is just lost.
Like they just look, I don't want to say in shock, but in shock, like you have Jaylen
Hurts coming to the microphone talking about some learning opportunity.
That's not going to go well with social media or the regular media.
And it's just been a rough situation in Philly.
Now people are having questions about Nick Sirianni.
You know, he, and we spoke about it before, like Philly being as good as they were was
a credit to Sirianni because they had to replace both coordinators.
Not one, both of them took head coach jobs in the same off season.
One to Philly and one to Houston, not Houston, one to Philly and one to, oh man, not Philly,
one to Indianapolis and one to Arizona.
And so they both took head coach jobs in the same cycle.
So not only is he trying to figure out what to do with his offense, he's got to figure
out what to do with his defense, including making new hires, how to get the system in
place and everything.
And so it was a miracle that Philly was even doing what they were able to do.
Then you go to the Tampa Bay Buccaneer side, Baker Mayfield is one of the many career researchers.
He's playing a little reckless, but I think it's working for him.
It's allowing him to play a little bit more free.
He's hitting Mike Evans and Chris Gowden, which are always good plans.
And it didn't even have his fully loaded defense because the organization and Devin White have
gotten to disagreements.
And so he is battling not even having his fully loaded defense ready to go, but they
won the division.
Now it was the worst division in football, but they did win it.
And we're going to speak about the other half of the NLC South, but they won an ugly game
over Carolina, nine to zero.
But it got them in the playoffs hosting a home playoff game versus the Philadelphia
Eagles team.
It feels a lot like when Brady that year after the Super Bowl, they hosted against the Rams
with the Rams with a better team, but the Bucs that got the host it.
The Eagles are a better team.
Bucs get to host it.
They better score more than nine points this time.
I don't care what their defense does.
Philly wins the game and covers the three points of 22-10.
And up next, we're going to jump into Jack's hot take, which is going to be Shannon Sharp
versus Jamex Winston.
Welcome back into the show.
And now we're going to jump into Jack's hot take, which is going to be a discussion or
my commentary rather on Jamex Winston versus Shannon Sharp.
So as you guys may know or don't know, or if you don't know, I'm going to fill you in.
The New Orleans Saints play the Atlanta Falcons.
I'll give you the backstory of the controversy.
So the New Orleans Saints play the Atlanta Falcons, one of the most heated rivalries in
the NFL.
It is not as nationally prominent as Steelers Ravens, but it's up there in terms of the
vitriol and the dislike.
There's problems between the Atlanta Falcons and the New Orleans Saints.
There's iconic moments of one knocking the other out of the playoff race, of taunting,
of celebrations, I mean, there's just vitriol.
It doesn't have the level of struggle and national attention Steelers Ravens gets, and
that because the level of Hall of Famers that played in that game.
Steelers Ravens at one point it was Tre Palomalu, James Harrison, Jerome Bennett, Spinner Osberg
on one side, and then Ray Lewis, Ed Reed, Shannon Sharp on the other.
There's been legends in Steelers Ravens throughout the past, I don't know whether Ravens is 20
or something years old, past 30 years in that matchup.
Falcons and Saints have had awards and a lot of vitriol in that series as well.
So it's 41-17, about a minute left.
Ritter, I think it's Ritter, throws a pick to Tyromathie.
Tyromathie reads it beautifully, pick, takes off down the field.
Now Tyron is jogging, and I think he's mentally fighting, well it's a long run, he caught
it like on the 30, 35 yard line.
So it's a long run against the end zone.
I think mentally he's wondering in his head if he should slide.
Because at this point the Saints know they're out.
Because the Atlanta, Tampa, Carolina game went final before their game did.
So they know they're out.
The only way they could have got in feasibly was the Buccaneers to lose, because then they
would have needed the Bears to beat the Packers, and Arizona to beat Washington, Arizona to
beat Seattle.
Neither one of those things happened.
Seattle won and the Packers won.
So in order for the Saints to get in.
So they pretty much at that point of the route.
So Tyron is jogging down the field, but he makes it a pretty far way.
Once he gets off the 30, I think he just figures, okay I might as well try and get in.
But now he's being chased down, and he tries to avoid it, gets tackled at the 1.
Of course the DB, of course defense hands on the head, and they're like, oh I can't
believe he got caught, and it's a big thing, right?
They're at the 1.
Again, this is one of the more hated rivalries in the NFL.
This is a rivalry that's like Broncos Chiefs in the 90s that Shannon Shaw participated
in.
Raven Steelers 2000s.
Like it is legitimate beef.
It's all day, every day.
Like you get heckled in the other city stores for wearing the team merch.
So like if you're in Atlanta wearing Saints gear, they heckle you.
If you're in New Orleans wearing Falcons gear, you get heckled.
Like that's an issue, it's a problem.
Like that's not something you can just do, right?
And I did this in New Orleans, I live in Baton Rouge, where Falcons get out here?
Dude you get heckled.
Like it's not something you can just regularly do.
That's not a normal thing.
It's not, oh it's Packers, Packers Bears.
You know but that's been so one sided, that's not really that funny either.
But like you know it's not like the Giants were playing the Dolphins that have no real
connection like you know.
It's Falcons and Saints.
So it's on the one yard line, minute 20 some odd seconds left.
Dennis Allen, by self admission of Dennis Allen and Jamis Winston, said let's take a
knee.
Jamis, with the support of his team, says hey Jamal hasn't scored all year.
Now when Jamal Williams came to the Saints last season, he had come off a season where
he scored 17 touchdowns and led the league in touchdowns.
Real fantasy darling.
When he came to New Orleans on a three year 12 million dollar deal for nobody paying any
of the running backs, he got a three year 12 million dollar deal from the Saints, he
joins the Saints alright.
He had injuries, he was in battling, just trying to even stay healthy.
Scoring wasn't in priority, he was trying to stay healthy and play games.
Of course he was behind out with Kamara and the running back they got in place of, Williams
was playing pretty well so snaps were limited.
So the whole team goes hey Jamal can't go from leading the league in Russian touchdowns
to not scoring at all, we're on the one.
Let's just give it to Jamal and let Jamal get in.
He had the support of Jamis Winston, he had the support of the team, including the starting
center.
The starting center said I couldn't have gone to sleep that night if Jamal didn't score.
So the whole team is in agreement.
The VA, Dennis Allen goes and knows we're going to nail it.
Well that same team who supported Jamis Winston in the center to get Jamal Williams touchdown
said okay we're going to line up on the knee and we're going to dive left and we're going
to hand the ball to Jamal.
We're going to get Jamal Williams on.
Again the score is 41-17.
The game is over, if you take knees the game is over, if you score the game is over.
It's 41-17.
It's Atlanta's last game of the year, right through to the end of the championship game.
Atlanta's only way in was that was to beat the Saints and then the Bucks will lose.
Bucks game went fine when the Falcons were over.
And they go and they score.
After the game Arthur Smith is ballistic.
He now fired Arthur Smith.
Arthur Smith is ballistic.
He's cursing out Dennis Allen going what the F was that.
Some F-ing BS.
You don't do BS like that.
What the F is wrong with you etc.
Dennis Allen looks very apologetic.
He has his hands out.
He's obviously not in a confrontational state.
He's not defending his actions.
He's not even being smug about it.
He's clearly like no.
You can see in the video like no.
Like I get it.
He's trying to talk to him.
It ain't working.
Smith curses him on and walks off.
After the game Dennis Allen gets asked what happened.
He does the unthinkable.
He throws Jameis Winston under the bus.
He said it wasn't me.
I called a kneel.
The team decided.
I think you might have said Jameis decided to run the die to try and get Jamala touched
down because he hadn't scored all year.
They asked me about it.
I told them no.
They did it anyway.
You know.
Then Jameis Winston in the locker room.
Of course not everybody in the whole.
Now everybody heard Dennis Allen.
They're all running Jameis Winston in the locker room.
Jameis in the locker room doubles down.
He said yeah it was a team decision to get Jamala touched down.
He hadn't had one all year.
We were on the one yard line.
We had a team decision to get Jamala touched down.
I'm going to put my stamp on this before I go into how I feel about Shannon Sharpe's
death.
My personal stamp on this is my only problem is victory formation.
I think they did victory formation to stop Dennis Allen from calling a time out.
Also the team was upset they threw Jamais in.
Jamais hadn't been in the game yet.
Throw Jamais in on the one yard line to take knees.
At that point they dare car finish it.
But whatever.
My only issue with it is victory formation.
Because in the NFL most sports when the other team is taking a knee even at the high school
though if they come on victory formation they're taking knees the ref goes to both sides like
hey don't fire off the ball.
You just snapping the ball taking a knee and we're going to let the clock run.
The game's over right.
That's the ref say that like don't fire off the ball both sides kind of mutually kind
of nod like especially with 41-17 both sides kind of mutually nod like okay cool.
Let's just go home.
Especially with both sides going home anyway.
Let's just go home.
That's my issue.
Now the Saints didn't blow the Tigers out the ball.
They didn't destroy them.
They pushed just enough to let Jamais kind of squeak his head in there and get a touchdown.
Because again the Falcons were probably told don't fire off the ball they're going to
take a knee.
Because in that moment sorry my nose is messing with me.
In that moment the QB becomes protected pretty much the whole play.
That's my only issue is that it was victory formation.
Because the Falcons had no way to defend it.
If Jamais switches it to traditional eye form and runs the dive no harm no foul I got that
foul.
But because they didn't victory formation the other team was off guard.
That's my issue.
Anyway so that night Shannon Sharp of course does fucking outro with Chad Johnson Chad
Ojo Cinco.
Talk about a couple other games let me get you that game.
Shannon Sharp eviscerates Jamais wins.
He called it loser mentality.
He said that's the reason why he didn't win in Tampa.
He said that's the mentality of why Tom Brady came with basically the same team and won
a Super Bowl.
Why Baker Mayfield basically the same team made the playoffs.
He said that's a loser mentality that if he was on the team he would have jumped off
sides on purpose to back him up and he couldn't do it.
He said there is you know he went through all this stuff that you know Ryan Billick
and Baltimore didn't have rules and he cursed guys out and made sure they got on the team
bus when the Panthers wanted to pick him up from the Super Bowl practice and take him
wherever.
He spoke about leadership.
He spoke about you know he would cut Jamais Winston today and no teams basically no teams
to pick him up and he wouldn't be on his team and he didn't want him on his team.
So on and so forth.
And Chad Wachosinko was like man you're going a little strong like you know maybe that wasn't
the situation.
That's what Shannon Sharpe said.
Well what if one of your kids did something you told them to do.
Chad so you better have a basically a damn good reason why you did it.
And then Shannon kept going like 10 minutes just going off on Jamais Winston.
Then he comes on first take the next morning and he doubles down.
Of course he cleans it up a little bit because he's on the ESPN Disney Airwaves and out on
YouTube his own podcast his own platform.
He cleans it up a little bit but he doubles down.
I would cut Jamais Winston.
He wouldn't be on my team.
It's a loser mentality and all this stuff right.
And then of course people going at him on Twitter.
Change fans a lot are going at him on Twitter.
Hey you know that's not right what you did.
You know but one of Shannon Sharpe's responses two things I want to highlight about the Twitter
interactions.
One every single player responds with positive for Jamais Winston either he's a great teammate
that's something that's really dope.
They're glad he did it.
Positive support.
Alva Kamara that's my naysayer.
You know positive support emphatic.
No one had a negative word from Jimmy Graham to Alva Kamara to Michael Thomas to Jamal
Williams after the game to anybody that made a comment.
Ben Watson I think was another one.
No player that commented especially from the Saints had a negative word to say.
Okay let's start off with that.
But then one other interaction on X I keep going on Twitter X.
Shannon Sharpe had what he said.
Imagine if it happened on Belichick Parcells and a couple of other legendary coaches in
his response.
And my point is exactly.
Exactly.
This was not a player issue because we don't know how deep rooted and some of the fans
said it like man they don't respect Dan Fallon.
Your DA about it there.
That's why that went down and was allowed to go down.
Nobody said it's Alan.
Imagine that happened on Bill Parcells.
Bill Parcells is cursing you out from the time you scored through the rest of the game
into the locker room cursing you off opening the door to the press conference.
You are probably at the press conference and go back to doing that.
But they would have never been in that spot on a Bill Parcells team.
They just wouldn't.
They wouldn't have been in that spot on the Bill Belichick team.
They wouldn't have been in that spot on the Andy Reid team.
They wouldn't have been in that spot on the Sean Payton team.
You're not in that position.
And you damn sure don't apologize to the enemy.
I'm sorry should they have that on Falcons?
As the Saints head coach are you serious?
I'm not a Saints fan, I'm a Patriots fan but I understand.
Like the amount, what little respect Dennis Allen had in that locker room and in that
fan base died.
And he apologized to the Falcons.
That's the one thing you don't do.
You can apologize to almost anybody else.
Like in human history.
You can't apologize to the Falcons.
Like I said, whatever cache respect, whatever he had in that locker room died.
It died in the time that he apologized to the Falcons.
You can't do that.
And my response to Shannon Sharpe is simply this.
Why are you holding Jameis Winston?
Being the leader of his team to a higher standard than the coach.
Because clearly there's a culture problem, there's a discipline problem, there's a respect
problem in that locker room if the team, as Jameis has repeatedly said every player in
the locker room backed up, the team decided to do something the coach explicitly said
not to do.
Why are you focusing on Carl Enzamas Winston a loser with loser mentality even though he
won at Florida State.
Loser with loser mentality as opposed to focus on Dennis Allen and what Dennis Allen did
or did not do with his locker room.
My answer is your facts are wrong.
Because that was not, yes it was a similar team that Brady had than Jameis with too many
differences.
One COVID, Tom Brady was legally practicing on video during the COVID time.
Nobody else was legally moving.
He was inviting people to a local high school in Florida illegally practicing.
That was commended.
That was showing he'd do anything to win.
As a matter of fact, if I remember correctly and I think I do, you got on Tom Brady on
TV for doing that.
Saying he wasn't following the rules.
It's also the COVID year.
So a lot of the teams started off really really slow.
If that was going to be time for you as a quarterback to get introduced to a new team
and to win it was that year.
Why?
Because no one had a training camp.
No one had an off season.
Not really.
So now everybody's trying to install.
Everybody's working with first time in months.
Everybody's doing all this stuff.
Everybody's on the same playing field.
That's why bad teams started off that year hot.
Because everybody was on the same playing field.
Then by week four, week five the gap showed back up.
But at that point Brady never had figured it out.
They had already done illegal practice etc. to get their chemistry together and now they
figured it out.
Also mind you that team was floundering and Brady was pissed.
What happened Mr. Shannon Sharp?
Oh that's when they had to come to Jesus meeting him and Bruce Arians about what they're going
to do with the offense.
Arians relented.
We're going to do a trail with Brady.
And then Brady rips off the run and they go in the Super Bowl.
It's not the fact that they switched to the same team.
It's the fact that they switched their entire offensive scheme to play Tom Brady's way.
Okay.
That's your first fallacy.
Your second fallacy Mr. Sharp is that Baker's doing with the same team.
I'm sorry.
I don't see Devon White.
I don't see Shaq Barrett.
Two defensive changes.
You're thinking that helps my case.
It doesn't.
Because that entire offensive staff that had no wrist kit, no biscuit.
That James had 5,000 yards, something like that.
30 touchdowns, 30 picks.
Along with Brady that got pissed.
He was throwing picks left and right.
He was pissed at the offense.
That staff is gone.
That's not Bruce Arians and Byron Leswitch anymore.
That's whoever the hell the OC is for Tampa.
But it ain't them.
So yeah, it may be a similar roster, but it's a different offensive scheme.
It's one that protects the quarterback a lot better.
It's a lot more west coast, a lot more play action.
A lot more shorter throws instead of no wrist kit, no biscuit from Bruce Arians and Byron
Leswitch.
So another one of your fallacies.
So you're slandering a guy and using information that's wrong.
You obviously say, well, why didn't Jamal Williams go 1 through 17?
Because he was injured.
Which again, had you done an ounce of research, you would have known.
So you're going through and slandering Jamal's Winston on fallacies and false information
and misinformation, fooling the average fan who's just going to back you up.
And everybody in your comment section, you were responding less than right.
Why?
Because you were wrong.
And at one point you said to Oconocho, I've been on this hill by myself.
You are.
Because even Steven A. Smith, my apologies, Steven A. Smith was like, he was kind of trying
to back you off.
I'm saying this a little bit because what you said was strong.
It was aggressive.
It actually was just as disrespectful as you claim Skip Bates was to you while you left
undisputed.
If you want to be perfectly frank, because Skip used to go little digs at your career
when he didn't represent Tom Brady.
You threw a shovel of dirt on Jamal's career and then you referenced your own.
It's the exact same thing.
And the words of you and the words of your grandfather, your grandmother, one of those
two great people who had influence on your life, the road to hell is paved with good
intentions.
If you don't be careful, you'll find yourself on a road you took to avoid something.
You did the same thing to Jamus you claim Skip Bates did to you.
You did the same exact thing.
Also, Skip was mostly right with this.
You were dead wrong on pretty much the entire situation.
And the fact you tried to point out your leadership moments throughout your career and then you
said that you would have jumped off sides.
So you would have wanted to get your entire team.
The other 45 active players didn't matter.
You was going to jump off sides because the coach no one respects was going to be his
rules going to stand.
That's leadership.
I didn't know.
So Mr. Sharp, I know you're trying to capitalize on your Cat Williams fame and you can say
you're not because you're already telling me the haters are getting to you.
You already told us that it's bothering you a little bit.
You told us that you didn't expect this and you're overwhelmed with hate 35 million what
five days.
Same.
Maybe you're trying to take that one.
Maybe you felt really strongly about it.
I'm not sure.
But that was wrong.
A lot of levels.
You're wrong.
Your facts.
You're wrong.
Your feelings.
You're wrong.
Your stance.
It's okay.
It happens.
Right.
It happens.
But next time before you eviscerate someone the way you came in Jamus Winston, because
he's been very respectful about this process.
Jamus actually had a great back and forth to reporter and they were doing the LaKeith
Stanfield in the movie.
I hope you have a great day.
I hope you have an amazing week.
I hope you have a month of spectacular brother.
Like they were doing the respect thing, but you can clearly tell that was an underlying
current there.
But the overlay of the overlay thing was respect.
You came in Jamus Winston mentality.
You came at his play.
You said why Baker did this and Brady did that and how come Jamar wouldn't do this?
You did everything at Jamus Winston when you ignored the culture problem in New Orleans
under the stewardship of Dennis Allen.
You just let him go.
You even referenced cultures on X that it would have never happened to.
And you still not once mentioned Dennis Allen.
You know, Cat Williams said something on your show.
He said in your friendship potential, whatever with phase on love, you have an unnatural
allegiance to losers and that's unlike you.
Cat Williams didn't lie in that special.
But maybe he did about that and whether it is like it is.
Cause you definitely chose Dennis Allen's lack of organizational control and the regime
over Jamus Winston.
Interesting.
Not something I would have done.
Especially without facts.
About the rivalry, about Jamar Williams, about Jamus Winston, about what happened in Brady's
Super Bowl season, about what happened with Baker Mayfield this season.
How yes the teams are similar but the staff is not.
Interesting Mr. Sharp.
Very interesting decisions.
But that is all I have for today.
