favorite shows as you guys can tell 49 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:30,600 When I have a lot of energy like this I'm up and I'm active which is normal 50 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,600 But one of our favorite shows of the year is Insta Release Show 51 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:37,600 So this show has been recorded right now as you speak around 2pm local time 52 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:42,600 As soon as I get it done it will be a quick edit and then it'll be out to you guys 53 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,600 It's one of my favorite shows I love Insta Release Shows 54 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,600 Because you get the information as soon as I have it 55 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:52,600 If something were to break in the next 45 minutes to an hour it would be in this show 56 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,600 So you would hear my reaction to it immediately 57 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,600 Instead of hearing my reaction to it tomorrow 58 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:02,600 Or you know this and the third you hear my reaction to it immediately 59 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,600 So my phone's next to me it's sitting here charging 60 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:10,600 So if anything breaks we will of course throw the rundown out 61 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:14,600 And discuss it if it's big enough of course 62 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:18,600 We will talk about it fairly immediately 63 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,600 But let's jump into the show 64 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,600 A bit of housekeeping news before we do 65 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:28,600 Make sure that you like, subscribe to the Justin

00:03:59,600 Our A Block starts off with the NFL 76 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,600 We're going to start off the field first 77 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,600 And then we're going to come on the field 78 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,600 We're going to start off with the NFL 79 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,600 It's never a league that truly ever stops off the field 80 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,600 It's one of those situations where 81 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,600 You have a lot of guys 82 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,600 It's one of the bigger leagues in American sports 83 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:20,600 It's actually I think the biggest player league in majors in professional sports 84 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,600 Now if you count the minor leagues as baseball 85 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:23,600 But think about basketball 86 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,600 Basketball has 15 people on the roster 87 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,600 That's 30 teams 88 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,600 It's 450 guys I think is the number every year 89 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,600 It's 12 by 12, 144 90 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,600 The NHL I think it's in the 20s 91 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:37,600 There's only 30 teams though 92 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:41,600 Basketball the NFL has 53 men on the roster 93 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:43,600 32 teams plus the practice squad 94 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:48,600 So you're looking at thousands of players at a time in the NFL 95 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:53,600 So just percentage wise you're looking at a higher chance 96 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,600 And you look at what these men are usually made of 97 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:56,600 These men are usually made of 98 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,600 They're bigger, they're stronger, they're more aggressive 99 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,600 They literally hit people for a living 100 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:09,600 So there's a tendency at times to have incidents occur 101 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:11,600 Whenever you're dealing with NFL players 102 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,600 It's just the way it's been set up over the past few years 103 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,600 Like I said we look at the number of professional 104 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,600 Excuse me 105 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,600 We look at the number of professional sports 106 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:25,600 They have probably about a quarter total professional athletes in this country 107 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:26,600 In terms of our major sports 108 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,600 Hockey, basketball, think about it 109 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,600 Two basketball rosters put together is half of a football roster 110 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,600 That's not even counted in the practice squad 111 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:40,600 So if you're looking at just the tendency 112 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,600 It's more than likely going to be an NFL player in an incident 113 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:44,600 It's just the way the numbers have broken out 114 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,600 It's the way it comes to part, the way it comes together 115 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:51,600 And so we have our latest incident with an NFL player 116 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:52,600 This one involving police 117 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,600 We see body cam footage of Tyra Kill 118 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:58,600 So I'm sure you guys have heard every single opinion on it 119 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:02,600 Every single viewpoint on it 120 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,600 The way media is set up now 121 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,600 You pretty much hear what you want to hear 122 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:11,600 And the reason why I say that is you can choose to listen to Fox 123 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:16,600 Fox News is going to give you one perspective 124 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:17,600 Just as opposed to CNN 125 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,600 Just as opposed to what you see on Twitter 126 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:21,600 As opposed to what you see on 127 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:25,600 I can't even think of that social media app that Donald Trump uses 128 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,600 But you get all these different social medias 129 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:30,600 And all these different opinions 130 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:35,600 And you can cater what you see based on what you want to see 131 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:42,600 Personally, I do my best to keep any reporting 50-50 132 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,600 Now what you see on this podcast 133 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:49,600 What you see in here on the YouTube show 134 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:51,600 JTS at the Dark 135 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:53,600 Produced by IMS Productions 136 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:57,600 What you see and hear on those things do not reflect the reporting side 137 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:03,600 And so what I want you guys to understand is that what I say on here 138 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:07,600 Does not necessarily say on there 139 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:09,600 Because again, I'm just simply reporting the news 140 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,600 What your opinion on the news is, it's up to you 141 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,600 I'm simply giving you the information 142 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:17,600 So I want that to be pointed out before we move on 143 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:19,600 Anyway, back to the Tyreek Hill thing 144 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,600 So this was a situation 145 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:27,600 And one of the angles of the body cam footage is shown on my social media platforms 146 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:32,600 Tyreek Hill gets pulled over by the Miami police 147 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:37,600 Now it was reportedly at first over a traffic violation 148 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:43,600 Now that has since gotten convoluted and misconstrued into what it possibly could have been 149 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:47,600 But it was reportedly a traffic violation at first 150 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:51,600 Now this ultimately revolves in Tyreek Hill getting thrown on the ground 151 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,600 Four police officers surrounding him 152 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:57,600 You see a different area where he goes, oh no, that's one of the star players for the Dolphins 153 00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,600 This isn't a regular black guy 154 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,600 This could be one of the star players for the Dolphins 155 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:07,600 It reminded a lot of people of Scottie Schaeffler outside of the Masters 156 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:09,600 At like 4 or 5 in the morning 157 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,600 He was heading into the Masters and gets arrested 158 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:13,600 Again, a traffic violation 159 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:17,600 He was heard yelling back and forth and there was an incident 160 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,600 There was an incident in this case 161 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:24,600 Tyreek Hill is calling for the firing of the police officers involved 162 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:28,600 One of the police officers was placed on administrative leave or duty 163 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,600 The changes depend on where you look 164 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:35,600 He was placed, you basically hear a woo from the streets following this incident 165 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,600 And it kind of feels like it's another incident 166 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,600 As a black man in this country, it felt like another incident 167 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,600 Now, thank the Lord, this one wasn't deadly 168 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:46,600 Tyreek Hill wasn't even seriously harmed 169 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:48,600 He played that day, had a great game 170 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:53,600 He even did a handcuff celebration after scoring the touchdown 171 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:57,600 But it wasn't just Tyreek Hill, Kaleas Campbell was involved 172 00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,600 They ended up putting cuffs on Kaleas Campbell 173 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:05,600 They ultimately called a third teammate he was involved 174 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:10,600 And it was a situation where it could have been de-escalated on both sides 175 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:16,600 I will say that, I won't say Tyreek Hill was a peaceful citizen 176 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,600 Quiet as a church mouse and got roughed up 177 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:20,600 I'm not going to say that 178 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,600 But at the same time, I'm not going to hold a football player 179 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:27,600 In this case, a civilian to the same standard as a professional 180 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,600 Whose job primarily is de-escalation 181 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:32,600 Who failed at that job 182 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,600 It's no different than if you're a teacher 183 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:40,600 That kid isn't going to be held to the same standard as the adult 184 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:45,600 That's a little bit of a heart, not the best linear example 185 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:47,600 Because I was Tyreek Hill's grown man 186 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:54,600 But this is no different than when an intern messes up 187 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:56,600 Versus one of somebody who's been seasoned 188 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:58,600 I'm not going to hold you to the same standard 189 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,600 You don't have the training, you're not held under that same code 190 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:06,600 If you as a person are held under a code to what you're thinking about you 191 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:10,600 You as a police officer should not be thinking in that same manner 192 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:12,600 You should think about the good of the situation 193 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:14,600 De-escalation is number one 194 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,600 Number one priority, that was failed 195 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:21,600 So, like I said, this was one of our, I don't want to say warning shot incidents 196 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,600 In terms of it was not deadly 197 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:27,600 There was no injuries, Tyreek Hill 198 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,600 There was no back-alleged situation 199 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:31,600 There was no, you know what I'm saying 200 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,600 It was one of our better ones 201 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:39,600 However, it was still something that was way too far in the direction that it went 202 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:45,600 And so, hopefully that is rectified in the not so distant future 203 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,600 Like I said, Tyreek Hill's calling for removal 204 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:54,600 I'm not sure I would go removal 205 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:58,600 In this case, now, internal investigation comes out with more details 206 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:00,600 Yes, obviously remove them 207 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:02,600 Do I think they should be out the streets for six months to a year? Yes 208 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:06,600 Do I think if they have any level above entry level 209 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:08,600 They should be faced with automatic demotion 210 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:10,600 Probably a couple of notches, yes 211 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:15,600 Because you have to make this punitive to officers to act this way 212 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:21,600 Automatic firing, I think whoever's slammed into the ground should be gone 213 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:26,600 The others, anybody else who was not directly involved 214 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:31,600 Or did not step in to remove those police officers should be bumped down a couple levels 215 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,600 All the way down to desk duty or something 216 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,600 And their page should reflect that 217 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,600 But that is something that is not for me to decide 218 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:40,600 That is something I would look for 219 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,600 I totally understand Tyreek Hill calling for the removal of those officers 220 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:47,600 If I was in his situation, I probably would too 221 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:49,600 But that is something that we're going to keep our eye on 222 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,600 Statements have been released all over the place, videos went out all over the place 223 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:54,600 So we're definitely going to keep our eye on it 224 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:58,600 This is not the last you will see and hear of this, I'm sure of it 225 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:05,600 So we're going to keep you guys very up to date on what happens in this case 226 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:09,600 Or future incident 227 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:14,600 And our next incident with an NFL player off the field 228 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,600 It feels like I've been saying this for like the 28th time 229 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:22,600 Deshaun Watson is being accused again 230 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,600 This time by Jane Doe, she has chosen to remain nameless 231 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:31,600 Although the attorneys know, Doe is involved 232 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:35,600 But she has publicly filed under the name Jane Doe 233 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:42,600 The details are interesting 234 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:46,600 I mean the details are disturbing 235 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:50,600 I'm just going to be honest with you, they're disturbing if true 236 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,600 And again, Deshaun allegedly, it's allegedly at this point 237 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:57,600 His lawyer Tony Busby has stated that there's a video that they're going to have 238 00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,600 That's going to get this case, you know, that's going to take care of this case 239 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:08,600 But the allegations are disturbing 240 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:10,600 An interesting one was a poor word earlier 241 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,600 But they are disturbing 242 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:15,600 It's the typical Deshaun Watson stuff 243 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:19,600 It's inappropriate touching, it's forced upon, it's accusations of rape 244 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:24,600 Like it is standard Deshaun Watson stuff 245 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:29,600 It's anything that if it's anybody else, they're automatically on the exemplus 246 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:36,600 And for Deshaun, it feels like we've reached the point in his life story 247 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:40,600 In his career arc where it's, oh my God, expect it's a bad word 248 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:42,600 But it's not shocking anymore 249 00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:46,600 It's not something that we look at and go, oh man, Deshaun Watson's wilding out 250 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:50,600 It's like Deshaun's Deshaun 251 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:52,600 Now this is an accusation from 2020, I believe 252 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:54,600 This is not recent 253 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,600 Well, it is recent, but I'm saying this is not, you know, since he's been a Brown 254 00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:01,600 This is in the same era as the other accusations 255 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:05,600 You know, he's not going to be suspended by the team until the legal process plays out 256 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:07,600 He's not going to go into the exemplus 257 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:11,600 According to his owner, he's going to, I mean, according to his agent, lawyer rather 258 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,600 There's a video that's going to, I guess, exonerate him 259 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:18,600 But this has got to come to an end if you're Deshaun Watson 260 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:22,600 You're playing piss poorly for whatever reason 261 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:29,600 I think he took a year-long absence from the hardest position in professional sports 262 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:36,600 And you're seeing the result of said hard position and not doing it regularly 263 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:40,600 When Deshaun Watson left the field for the last time as a Houston Texan 264 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:47,600 He was inarguably a top five quarterback, a highly, a very widely considered top three quarterback 265 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:49,600 And an arguable best quarterback 266 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,600 The only quarterback you can say that definitively was better than him 267 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:56,600 Is Patrick Mahomes, who came back on him in the playoff game 268 00:14:56,600 --> 00:15:01,600 Everybody else, Deshaun Watson, you can make a real case was better than at the time 269 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:05,600 Now he's a disaster 270 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,600 Forget the money, forget the trade assets 271 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:12,600 Quarterback, purely watching him play quarterback, he is awful 272 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,600 I mean, he is downright, like, bad 273 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:22,600 Like, it's not even a situation where it's funny to say or it's enjoyable or this, that, and the third 274 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:26,600 He is not good at the quarterback position right now 275 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,600 And the Cleveland Browns are suffering because of it 276 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:36,600 I mean, they, you know, and they can't even financially begin to contemplate to move on from him in front of the two seasons 277 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:41,600 Because right now, if they were to, let's say, cut him, they'll be paying more dead cap 278 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:46,600 Twice as much dead cap as Denver paid to remove Russell Wilson 279 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:51,600 Right, so you're not even in a position where you can get rid of him 280 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,600 In the event he continues to play poorly, you've got to ride this out 281 00:15:54,600 --> 00:16:04,600 Now, could his poor play be a, a, a result of the fact that he probably feels, you know, fairly untouchable 282 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:07,600 I had all those accusations, I did all this different stuff 283 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:14,600 And he was able still to waltz right in and get the biggest contract in NFL history 284 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,600 The most guaranteed money in NFL history 285 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,600 And have his pick of the litter in terms of where he wanted to go 286 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:26,600 People forget, and you know, and people talk about now that, oh, it was the worst trade in NFL history, blah, blah, blah 287 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:31,600 People forgot that when Deshaun was, you know, able to come back from his accusations 288 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,600 He was able to go to multiple locations 289 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,600 He wanted Atlanta, Atlanta didn't come in with the right guarantee money 290 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:41,600 Although he was still going to go to Atlanta, I think for 180 of the 230 291 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,600 He was going to Atlanta 292 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:47,600 And then ultimately he decides, you know, Cleveland comes in with the full 230 293 00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:49,600 Nobody's willing to match it 294 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:53,600 He heads to Cleveland, but he took a visit with the Saints 295 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:55,600 He was headed to Atlanta 296 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,600 He took a visit with the new Texans regime 297 00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:03,600 You know, he had multiple locations he could have gone 298 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,600 And he ultimately chose Cleveland 299 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:09,600 Not only is that a financial decision, but he chooses Cleveland nonetheless 300 00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:15,600 And so now you look at him now and it's like, what's going on? 301 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:17,600 He looks unsure of himself, he looks unconfident 302 00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:19,600 He looks like he doesn't know what he's doing out there 303 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:30,600 Which considering as a guy who is, you know, naturally confident, naturally swagging and in a position with confidence is everything 304 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:36,600 This is huge for Deshaun Watson to not be himself 305 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:38,600 I think these accusations have something to do with it 306 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,600 He's getting booed and protested at home 307 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:43,600 There's no real comfort zone for him right now 308 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:51,600 So I definitely think he should look a little bit better once he gets his confidence down 309 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:57,600 But switching gears to on the field, on the field 310 00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:02,600 I'm going to start off with some individual players and I'm going to shift to some teams 311 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:09,600 Joe Burrow and his wrist injury has been the headline of the past few days 312 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:13,600 And one of those things is his wrist 313 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:17,600 It was a video of him appearing to struggle to pick up a water bottle 314 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:22,600 He was flexing the wrist constantly throughout the game this day and a third 315 00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,600 He said he wasn't struggling to pick up a water bottle, he was just picking it up 316 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:31,600 And that he is fine physically 317 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:37,600 And so I think it's one of those things where when you come off an injury, you've got to test that thing 318 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:43,600 Whatever that thing is, you have to test that thing in a variety of ways 319 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:49,600 And I think that his testing of that thing is just him flexing, he's moving around 320 00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:52,600 As a kid on my high school team, he broke his leg 321 00:18:52,600 --> 00:19:00,600 And even when he was healthy, you could tell that he broke his leg in his 8th grade year 322 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:05,600 Set out his 9th grade year and just told me rather recently that he doesn't think about his leg anymore 323 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:13,600 And then we're thinking two years later and he had to have a real game, get hit and be like, I'm fine 324 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:17,600 In order for him to not think about his leg anymore 325 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,600 So you look at a guy like Joe Burrow who's constantly injured 326 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:25,600 A right wrist is the money maker, his right arm is how he makes his money 327 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:33,600 And so thinking about that constantly is something that I imagine is not enjoyable 328 00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:41,600 Especially considering that you're looking at a team that struggled against a not so great Patriots team 329 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:45,600 I mean 10 offensive points, I get it, Jamar Chase missed pretty much all offseason 330 00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:50,600 I understand, but you had to be able to produce and they couldn't do anything 331 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:54,600 Man, a Patriots defense is going to be real, they're going to do that to a lot of people 332 00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:58,600 But they have to be able to muster 17 points 333 00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:08,600 To be the Patriots team that at no point was offensively dominant, at no point were they rolling offensively 334 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:12,600 And putting a bunch of pressure on the Bengals 335 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:16,600 So that's got to get fixed up if you're in Cincinnati 336 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:23,600 CJ Stroud vs Anthony Richardson, what a show of physical quarterback prowess 337 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:28,600 Yes, CJ Stroud who took the league by storm last year 338 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,600 Who immediately shows up and he's top 7 in the league 339 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:36,600 He threw a couple of beautiful passes to Stephon Diggs for big first downs 340 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:42,600 A couple of balls over the middle, that was huge for first downs as well 341 00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,600 A couple of big touchdowns to Diggs 342 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:52,600 CJ Stroud played a hell of a game and it definitely showed that he was one guy who was looking to take his game to the next level 343 00:20:52,600 --> 00:21:01,600 And then Anthony Richardson, my god, he threw arguably one of the best passes we've ever seen in the NFL 344 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:11,600 68 yards in the air, not really having his feet set, getting hit, low key fading away on a line 345 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:15,600 It was a piss rocket, drops right into the bucket for the Terzamex 346 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,600 It's one of the best throws I've ever seen in my life 347 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:22,600 They're already up there for play, ain't that a throw of the year 348 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:35,600 It was insane how far and how talented Anthony Richardson was to not only make that throw, but to even dream that throw to be possible 349 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:44,600 And then the rookie quarterbacks struggled in their debuts 350 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:51,600 Bo Nix was bad, Caleb Williams was bad, and Bo Nix honestly couldn't have had enough of his teammates 351 00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:53,600 He could have been a little bit better 352 00:21:53,600 --> 00:22:01,600 Caleb Williams was awful, he adjusted to preseason speed well, he did not adjust to the NFL speed well, he was picked apart 353 00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:06,600 And then Caleb Williams, not Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels just didn't do enough 354 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:18,600 He played against a pretty good offense going against him, so I'm sure that was pressure to continue to score the ball and make the most of every single opportunity 355 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:24,600 Which he definitely tried to do, it just wasn't enough, against a pretty good offensive team 356 00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:34,600 It's rare that you get a rookie that'll show up and be dominant, but no, he was no different than anything else, he was not dominant at all 357 00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:38,600 He had his moments, he had his flashes, it really wasn't anything special 358 00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:42,600 Of course, you know, J.J. McCarthy is out for the season with the Minnesota Vikings 359 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:51,600 But we have two teams that I want to discuss, and I can kind of take them at the same time 360 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:58,600 The New York Jets and the Carolina Panthers 361 00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:02,600 The Jets are bad, the Panthers are awful, let's start off with the Panthers 362 00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:05,600 They lost 47-10 to the New Orleans Saints 363 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:13,600 You heard me correctly, 47-10 in an NFL game in week one 364 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,600 So you're not even thinking, I can't even say, oh, but they're practice ball guys 365 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:18,600 No, no, that was your team 366 00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:28,600 In week one, you lost 47-10 to a Saints team that might win seven games all season 367 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:40,600 But the Panthers are bad, the Panthers are one of the worst rosters in the NFL 368 00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:46,600 They have one of the worst quarterbacks in the NFL, they have one of the worst coaches in the NFL 369 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:51,600 The GM is not awful, although he is being awful right now, generally he's all right 370 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:58,520 I mean the Panthers are just bad like they're just like they're really bad 371 00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:07,080 like um they are god-awful and then the Jets are bad I don't know how bad the 372 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:11,240 Jets are how good the Niners are because the Jets physically just were 373 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:15,720 destroyed by the Niners and the Niners play the bills tonight and we're gonna 374 00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:19,920 talk about that in a couple of minutes my apologies the Dolphins play the bills 375 00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:23,080 in a couple of minutes again we're gonna talk about that the Dolphins play the bills 376 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:28,040 tonight and we're gonna talk about that in a couple of minutes of course but when 377 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:31,800 you're looking at you know those two teams Panthers and the Jets you have the 378 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:35,240 Panthers who everybody thinks is gonna be bad and they're living up to it and 379 00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:39,000 then the Jets who everybody thinks is gonna be really good cuz some AFC East predictions got 380 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:44,240 drugged by the Niners to open it up so I'm hoping both of those things were a 381 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:49,720 fluke I like competitive football games and having uncompetitive teams kind of 382 00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:56,520 ruins it oh the Giants also bad that offense terrible if it isn't Malik 383 00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:58,360 neighbors they don't know what they're gonna do with their life 384 00:24:58,360 --> 00:25:04,040 Daniel Jones awful um he needs to definitely get on the call with 385 00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:07,680 somebody and try and bring in another quarterback because Daniel Jones is 386 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:13,160 disrespectfully bad but up next we're gonna chat about Thursday Night Football 387 00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:19,520 so you got the bills at the Jets I believe right now the Jets are three 388 00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:23,840 point favorites I'll double check that but I believe I saw earlier the Jets 389 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:27,640 with three point favorites and it's not the Jets bills at the Dolphins my 390 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:32,640 apologies but so I believe that yeah though Miami's minus two and a half right 391 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:36,080 now I've got the bills to win this game straight up I think they're gonna win it 392 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:42,400 on the money line it's a good game it's a game we're being in Miami this time of 393 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,720 year it's gonna be isn't a big help to the Dolphins because everybody's warm 394 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:50,080 it's not a situation where it's like October and our November and Buffalo's 395 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:54,600 now you know 20 degrees and Miami's still 85 like that's when it gets to a 396 00:25:54,600 --> 00:26:01,360 biological advantage but you know Miami's 90 Buffalo's 80 I guess not a 397 00:26:01,360 --> 00:26:09,000 big enough deal to where the weather should come into a factor but this is 398 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:13,560 gonna be a good game like I said I've got the bills winning this game over 399 00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:16,320 your money line it's not my Jax pack obviously because it is a Thursday night 400 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:23,520 game but I've got the bills winning this game straight up now up next I'm gonna 401 00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:39,720 shift to an NFL betting segment Jax pack 402 00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:51,620 welcome back into the show as we down jump into our NFL betting segment Jax 403 00:26:51,620 --> 00:26:57,560 pack where we got a positive start last week we started off three into a couple 404 00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:02,920 of heartbreakers I'm not gonna lie to you that um that Arizona Buffalo game that 405 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:11,680 hurts like we got it at plus five and a half and you're multiple one playaways 406 00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:16,960 from nailing that bet I mean first of all Arizona was up like 17 or 20 points 407 00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:22,160 then even in the comeback just keep it within six fellas like and then you have 408 00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:27,340 the last drive where Marvin Harris Jr. runs wide open but Kyle is already 409 00:27:27,340 --> 00:27:30,640 running for his life otherwise Kyle makes an easy flip to Marvin Harris 410 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:34,680 Jr. and not only does the plus six five and a half hits the money line hits 411 00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:44,640 because as you guys know if you weren't here for the last episodes no it doesn't 412 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:50,760 affect our season long bets at all however the Arizona over under 413 00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:54,640 was over was a juicy number I think it was seven and a half so that was a 414 00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:57,760 number that I was looking at a lot of different places adding into the bets 415 00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:01,920 one of my outside bets one of my stay away because I'm gonna hit too perfectly 416 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:06,120 but winning at Buffalo was not one of the wins I thought they would get and they 417 00:28:06,120 --> 00:28:11,520 were a second away you know if he breaks open a little bit faster Kyla flips it 418 00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:15,680 out of his hand and even if he gets hit a drops in the Harrison Jr. they win the 419 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:20,280 game you know like it's just so much what's happening there we were really 420 00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:24,760 close to you know but in short we were really close to being four and one but 421 00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:28,680 three and two week one it's not bad usually the first few weeks of the 422 00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:32,440 seasons where everybody kind of off and you either get off to a really hot start 423 00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:37,080 at the beginning and kind of balance your way out once Vegas kind of catches 424 00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:41,360 on or you start off really bad and then when the numbers kind of settle out you 425 00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:45,280 kind of even your way out again as we said a lot last season here before that 426 00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:50,120 57% is the number you want to hit to be considered a professional gambler so if 427 00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:55,920 you hit 57% of your bets you can be a professional gambler and make a profit 428 00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:59,920 because you'll lose and the reason why it's not 50 51 is because of juice and 429 00:28:59,920 --> 00:29:03,600 you may hit a bet with less juice and lose a bet with bigger juice and you 430 00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:07,760 know you end up losing your money in a different way and this at a third but if 431 00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:12,160 you get 57% that'll cover all your juice you'll be a profitable gambler you can 432 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:15,800 be a professional gambler and making living off of gambling so right now 433 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:20,020 we're at 60% so we are definitely above that threshold although it is just week 434 00:29:20,020 --> 00:29:25,360 one but anyway let's get into our numbers for this week I actually love our 435 00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:32,340 numbers for this week this is a week again I don't think that Vegas has 436 00:29:32,340 --> 00:29:38,000 figured it out just quite yet so we're gonna take advantage of Vegas while 437 00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:44,680 they are still trying to get their life together our number one bet our primo bet 438 00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:53,920 our lock is Ravens minus 9 at Raiders I'm sorry home against the Raiders they 439 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:57,400 ain't even got to travel look if I've learned anything about this I learned 440 00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:00,080 anything about the Baltimore team for anything about hardball for anything 441 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:04,680 about Lamar they lose especially they lose and they feel they were the better 442 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:08,920 team as Isaiah likely stated just at a third they come out the next week and 443 00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:13,960 they punish whoever they whoever is in the way Las Vegas Raiders are a good 444 00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:18,000 team Las Vegas Raiders are a good culture they're trying to build a good 445 00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:22,520 team they're starting quarterback is Garnamenshu they're starting running 446 00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:26,520 back is Zemir White they have one player anybody would care about and that's 447 00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:31,680 Devante Adams the Ravens are gonna roll here this number could have been 12 and 448 00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:36,400 a half and I would still bet Ravens think about it the Raiders lost by more 449 00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:40,400 than this to the Chargers and the Chargers were trying to figure their 450 00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:44,240 life out figure their scheme out and the Raiders lost by more than that to them 451 00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:49,520 now you're gonna go into Baltimore for the Baltimore debut they've had over a 452 00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:52,400 week to prepare they've had a week to rest they've had over a week to just sit 453 00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:59,040 and stew and you happen to be the opponent that shows up this is bad for 454 00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:04,160 you I've got Raidens minus nine take the Ravens our second game our second 455 00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:07,920 number is Chargers minus six at the Panthers take the Chargers speaking of 456 00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:12,080 those Chargers that we just discussed and how they beat the Raiders by double 457 00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:17,240 digits the Panthers are awful we discussed in my last topic the Panthers 458 00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:23,040 are the worst team in professional football I don't think it's relatively 459 00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:28,720 close and if I'm the Chargers I actually hit this line is disrespectful because 460 00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:33,720 the Raiders are better than the Panthers and you beat the Raiders by 12 if I'm 461 00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:37,160 the if I'm the Chargers I take this line is disrespectful and I want to punish 462 00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:42,040 the Panthers look now it's week one no one's ever as good as they look in week 463 00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:46,400 one at the Saints the Saints are not 37 points better than anybody and no one's 464 00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:50,000 as bad as they looked in week one again the Panthers are not 37 points worse 465 00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:55,680 than anybody however less than a touchdown like I get it's a east I get 466 00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:59,720 it's a West Coast East Coast travel for the Chargers I understand that but the 467 00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:02,960 Chargers have for the better quarterback they have the better coach they have the 468 00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:05,320 better offensive line they have the better defense they have the better 469 00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:08,160 defensive personnel they have the better GM the better owner and the better fan 470 00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:11,360 base look the Chargers just flat-out better here I think they're gonna win 471 00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:14,840 comfortably by two touchdowns or more and then they get away and hide from the 472 00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:19,680 Panthers early the chart the the Panthers were already in trouble and 473 00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:22,560 either losing like Derek Browns out for the year like the neither trying to get 474 00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:28,520 injured and so I think the Chargers went here comfortably take Chargers minus six 475 00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:35,080 Seahawks at Patriots Patriots plus three and a half take the Patriots here look 476 00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:38,000 this could be a hard overhead pick I think the Patriots come in this game 477 00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:41,540 alright now I'm not betting the money on this situation I'm betting the plus 478 00:32:41,540 --> 00:32:45,640 three and a half however I would consider depending on my juice I give 479 00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:50,360 it's a plus 180 or plus 190 situation to take in the Patriots money line out 480 00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:54,120 right okay I think they can do it look that defense is great the culture there 481 00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:58,640 is definitely changed you see an upbeatness you see a vibrance in the 482 00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:03,020 building that you haven't seen in a few years in the Belichickian era in the 483 00:33:03,020 --> 00:33:09,800 Belichick era you had a team that was not upbeat they were disciplined they 484 00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:13,240 were tight they were together but there was not it was a general lack of 485 00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:19,200 excitement in the building when you went into New England they had the same 486 00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:22,160 monsters for 20 years they were doing the same thing and when Brady wasn't there 487 00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:26,160 there was no go-between and the mood generally went down however in the 488 00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:31,120 dry mail era that team was up they're upbeat there's multiple videos now of 489 00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:34,760 people yelling take them to the hill at the end of the game that's a phrase 490 00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:38,880 where dry mail had the team run up and down a hill or run up a hill at the end 491 00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:42,360 of practice as their conditioning test as their conditioning and they were 492 00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:47,480 yelling take them to the hill he's reinstated he's installed the 493 00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:53,960 selection of the play of yelling certain phrases after the game like draw mail 494 00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:59,400 was a patriot at the peak of being a patriot so if anybody knows what is the 495 00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:04,280 culture of New England supposed to be to win it would be Gerard Mayo that's also 496 00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:07,720 added to the fact that Jacoba sets a veteran quarterback and you're looking 497 00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:12,400 at a very inexperienced head coach on the other side as well for the Seattle 498 00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:17,120 Seahawks again they have to go west to east three hour time difference I think 499 00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:20,360 it's early kick it's gonna feel like a 9 a.m. kick to those Seattle guys body 500 00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:25,720 wise the Patriots have an advantage here I don't think they win this game all 501 00:34:25,720 --> 00:34:29,400 right but I think it's a field goal because the numbers plus three and a 502 00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:36,400 half give me the Patriots Saints plus six at the Cowboys give me the Saints 503 00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:40,320 and I love this number it might be my second favorite number of no it's my 504 00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:42,600 third favorite number of the week my next number is not the second number of 505 00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:47,000 the week my third favorite number of the week I have got a lot of confidence in 506 00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:50,920 this number again the Saints are not 37 points better than anybody let's just 507 00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:54,560 get that out of the way however neither Cowboys on the aren't that great either 508 00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:59,080 um you know you got a lot of guys getting paid that Prescott's got his 509 00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:03,840 money CD Lam's got his money Ezekiel it's back home and place he 510 00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:07,080 honestly should have never left which is so weird for Ezekiel Elliott because 511 00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:12,920 he's playing on a second Cowboys contract while getting paid from the 512 00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:17,680 first Cowboys contract still that salaries on there so Ezekiel Elliott 513 00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:25,680 actually showing up on the Cowboys salary table twice but the Cowboys played 514 00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:29,080 against the Cleveland Browns team that honestly like I said you talk about 515 00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:32,800 Deshaun Watson he's just not good anymore right and so that defense at a 516 00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:36,000 certain point was getting short fields and all the other stuff they're gonna do 517 00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:39,280 that now the Saints defense offense is with Clint Kulbiak as the offensive 518 00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:42,160 coordinator that looked like a different offense that we'd seen in New Orleans 519 00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:45,920 for years I mean that looked like Pete Sean Payton where it was innovative with 520 00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:49,120 people popping wide open where everybody's having fun and smiling it was 521 00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:53,400 like it was one of those games where that team got to show off that offense 522 00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:56,760 and you could definitely understand the excitement that you got from the New 523 00:35:56,760 --> 00:36:01,120 Orleans personnel when they spoke about the offense and what they wanted to 524 00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:06,640 accomplish Saints plus six here is a great number that means that's going by 525 00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:10,160 a touchdown if I had to bet this game if I had to see this game I think six may 526 00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:14,160 be too spot-on of a number we may end up tying here because my brain is saying 527 00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:22,000 30 to 24 Cowboys victory which would nail the plus six perfectly you know you 528 00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:25,520 still have a Cowboys defense that is acceptable to the passing game that 529 00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:29,160 offense is gonna look really good it's in Dallas but it's gonna feel kind of a 530 00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:33,320 50-50 split a lot of Saints fans are going to that game that's a game that 531 00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:37,200 if you're from the Louisiana if you're from Louisiana you understand the 532 00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:42,120 Cowboys fans are deep in Louisiana and so Saints fans usually stand up to go 533 00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:47,560 against them so a lot of Saints fans are going to that game in Dallas so it may 534 00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:55,600 not be 50-50 but they could very well be 65-35 even a 70-30 situation and 535 00:36:55,600 --> 00:37:00,120 because of which that is something that I think could help New Orleans there 536 00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:04,400 it's a short trip it's a what two-hour flight so it's not a lot of travel there 537 00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:08,080 I think the Saints did I don't think they pick up the win but I think they 538 00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:14,840 make it very very close so Saints plus six here take the Saints and then the 539 00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:19,440 fifth number my favorite my second favorite number Colts at Packers Packers 540 00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:24,160 plus three take the Packers money line here I think the Packers win this game 541 00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:30,480 all right and that's even without Jordan love at the quarterback position I think 542 00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:35,120 they win this game out right it's just something about something about Indy I'm 543 00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:44,080 not liking what Indy's got going on there I just I truly don't love it what 544 00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:48,520 Indianapolis has going on inside the organization I mean they had the Texans 545 00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:53,920 dead to rights and they just let them go and actually since I got this number 546 00:37:53,920 --> 00:38:01,560 um it's actually been bent down to two and a half so I think the Packers are 547 00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:06,680 gonna play ball control defense got ball control offense I think it's going to be 548 00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:11,500 a ton and I do mean a ton of Josh Jacobs they're gonna run that ball make the 549 00:38:11,500 --> 00:38:15,560 game short I think Anthony Richardson throws a pick he shouldn't throw I mean 550 00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:19,800 his stats last week with nine for 19 to 12 to says I'm gonna pick if he does 551 00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:24,080 that I think the Packers win this game straight up and I absolutely love this 552 00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:27,080 number from Green Bay plus two and a half again I think they're gonna win the 553 00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:30,760 game all right so whatever number you get it as long as plus I will take that 554 00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:37,000 bet let's go through it again you've got Ravens minus nine over the Raiders 555 00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:42,560 Chargers minus six over the Panthers Pats plus three and a half over the 556 00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:48,080 Seahawks Saints plus six over the Cowboys Packers plus three over the 557 00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:52,320 Colts but up next we're going to shift to the WNBA and talk about what's going 558 00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:56,480 down there they are barreling towards their playoffs 559 00:38:56,480 --> 00:39:24,600 Welcome back to the show and now we're gonna jump into our WNBA segment that is 560 00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:27,880 always we're gonna start off with the standings and of course Worcester W 561 00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:32,120 enters their playoffs we'll be giving playoff round updates and series updates 562 00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:36,480 but we're gonna start off with the standings number one we have the New 563 00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:42,800 York Liberty leading as they have they have most of the season links Minnesota 564 00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:47,840 links three behind them Connecticut Sun four from first fourth place we have the 565 00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:51,840 Las Vegas Aces they're seven back fifth place to Seattle Storm they're eight 566 00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:56,000 back sixth place we have the Indiana Fever they're eleven and a half back 567 00:39:56,000 --> 00:40:01,240 seventh place we have the Phoenix Mercury that thirteen back eighth place we have 568 00:40:01,240 --> 00:40:04,880 the eighth place are holding down the last playoff spot currently is the 569 00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:12,320 Chicago Sky they're 17 back and then ninth place is the Atlanta Dream that 570 00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:18,120 one place back there one game back from eighth the worst mystics are also one 571 00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:22,920 game back from eighth they're ten the Dallas Wings have been eliminated 572 00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:26,600 mathematically third 11th and then the Los Angeles Sparks also eliminated 573 00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:33,000 mathematically are in 12th as you know this league only has 12 teams of 12 574 00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:36,760 players the best 144 female players in the world with a couple of exceptions 575 00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:41,720 due to some WNBA CBA rules but there were a couple of exceptions these are 576 00:40:41,720 --> 00:40:45,240 the best 144 players in the world I still think Lilies can't bathe in one of 577 00:40:45,240 --> 00:40:50,600 the best part at 144 but we'll never see her bathing WNBA unfortunately due to her 578 00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:58,120 non basketball activities but anyway into the news so Asia Wilson 579 00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:03,320 congratulations to our future league MVP Asia Wilson has broken the single season 580 00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:09,040 scoring record for the WNBA she broke a record that was just set last year by 581 00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:14,600 Jackie Young and now Asia Wilson has her eyes set on the first 1000 point season 582 00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:21,800 in the history of the W it is in range it is mathematically very in range for 583 00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:26,320 her to be the first thousand point score and WNBA history she should be the 584 00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:30,040 unanimous MVP no one else should get a vote would I think that be a weird 585 00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:34,520 Caitlin Clark voter possibly do you think that'd be a strange I don't even know who 586 00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:40,280 else would get a vote I just saw the person I've seen get legitimate discourse 587 00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:45,200 besides Asia Wilson has been Caitlin Clark and that's been weird to me 588 00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:50,800 Caitlin Clark's gonna run away with the WNBA Rookie of the Year 589 00:41:50,800 --> 00:42:00,440 however I don't know how she gets a vote in the WNBA MVP race but Asia Wilson 590 00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:03,200 you know we go through her numbers all the time we'll talk about on the YouTube 591 00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:08,080 show she's like first in scoring secondary bounce per game first in 592 00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:13,040 blocks she's top five or so in steals she's high up on the field goal percentage 593 00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:18,000 like she's the best player in the WNBA I don't even know who's second and 594 00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:23,400 whoever is second they are so far behind there might as well not be a second I 595 00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:31,960 mean this is like LeBron circa 2008 to 2015 you know before you start really 596 00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:35,760 getting that Kevin Durant discourse and stuff like that like there was no second 597 00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:43,880 we're we're talking Michael Jordan you know 1988 to 89 to 96 except for the two 598 00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:49,120 years he sat out there was no second we're talking you know like these gaps 599 00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:53,600 we're talking Wayne Gretzky and his prime like whoever second is so far back 600 00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:57,000 that the gap from second to tenth is probably closer than the first to second 601 00:42:57,000 --> 00:43:02,160 she's that much better than everybody remember in the preseason poll they did 602 00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:07,160 the the voting of who's the best this and who's the best that she won MVP 603 00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:11,680 favorite best offensive player and best defensive player the team won best 604 00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:17,680 offensive best defense because of her like you know the Aces had all the 605 00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:22,400 awards anyway and they struggled through the regular season Chester Gray was hurt 606 00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:26,000 they never really got back on their grind and then I really a regular season 607 00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:29,960 team anyway I think they're gonna look differently in the playoffs but she was 608 00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:34,280 the straight-head to this organization she was a driving force to the whole 609 00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:39,160 situation and and said that's just like I said I expect her to be the first 610 00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:44,600 thousand-point score in WNBA history as she continues to be absolutely I think 611 00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:48,640 she's unanimous as Bam Edibayo put it earlier she should be unanimous for 612 00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:54,160 Asia to be WNBA MVP and she broke against Kailyn Clark which you know all 613 00:43:54,160 --> 00:44:00,280 eyes were in the building the part the broadcast poorly didn't mention it 614 00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:07,040 disrespectfully didn't mention it when she broke the record if it was in it 615 00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:11,440 was in Vegas I'm sure the game would have been stopped but you know in 616 00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:17,080 Indiana they try to keep not killing Clark news out of the airwaves and 617 00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:20,560 especially on national TV they're killing Clark's their darling still so 618 00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:24,400 they try to keep all their stuff out of the airwaves but again I don't care who 619 00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:27,400 it is that should have been a wreck that should have any game-stopping moment you 620 00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:31,840 just set the record for the most points in the season like it should have been 621 00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:39,520 stopped like 2k style soon the shot goes in you know like confetti falls and like 622 00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:43,720 horns start going off and everybody's cheering it goes across the jumbotron 623 00:44:43,720 --> 00:44:48,120 like that should have been what happened and instead it was barely given it wasn't 624 00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:54,600 even given a mention on the broadcast as it happened so disrespectful there but 625 00:44:54,600 --> 00:45:02,000 that will of course has been rectified all over social media Angel Reese the 626 00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:07,600 other candidate for Ricky of the Year truly I think she'll come in second she 627 00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:12,440 undergone right left wrist surgery for a fractured wrist she's suffered the 628 00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:17,160 injury she said on social media is falling back on her hand after an one 629 00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:22,400 and so she said she had two options either don't get the surgery face 630 00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:27,120 arthritis or is not really healing properly and being super sensitive or 631 00:45:27,120 --> 00:45:30,920 get the surgery shut it down the rest of the NBA season and be ready for the 632 00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:36,160 unrivaled league which her team still made the playoffs so I wonder if the 633 00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:40,640 sky make the playoffs does she consider trying to ramp up her rehab to get back 634 00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:44,680 on the floor to experience the playoffs in the WNBA because again she's 635 00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:48,040 scheduled to play in the unrivaled league which is the new women's 636 00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:53,120 basketball league that is basically owned by players like Paige Becker has a 637 00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:56,800 piece Brianna Stewart and if he's a call your those ladies are making a hundred 638 00:45:56,800 --> 00:45:59,920 grand a year to play in the unrivaled league so now they don't have to go 639 00:45:59,920 --> 00:46:04,720 overseas they don't have to leave their country they just move to get whatever 640 00:46:04,720 --> 00:46:08,200 market they're representing for the unrivaled league as how they're gonna 641 00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:11,640 do it so Angel Reese is making 60 some odd K from the WNBA she's gonna make a 642 00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:17,400 hundred K in the unrivaled league so you know protecting her money protecting 643 00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:21,540 her finances it would be smarter of her financially to just sit make sure she's 644 00:46:21,540 --> 00:46:25,000 a thousand percent ready to go for the unrivaled league considering that that 645 00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:30,200 is her financial breadwinner at the moment outside of me night outside of 646 00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:37,680 endorsement stuff which she'll be an endorsement darling for years um so if 647 00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:42,160 you listen to those standings carefully you notice a team in 11th place those 648 00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:46,520 the Dallas wings and they have a superstar potential superstar in a 649 00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:59,840 rick a gumbo Wale on their team and you know that is something that not even 650 00:46:59,840 --> 00:47:05,480 they didn't know about because we have so much new media new fans involved in 651 00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:09,800 the sport you got people like you know the Angel Reese fans the Katelyn Clark 652 00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:13,200 fans those came in supporting Rekia Jackson this draft class they're doing 653 00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:16,120 what they did for college basketball when they came in as high school 654 00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:22,720 players in order for you to break through that wave you got to do 655 00:47:22,720 --> 00:47:28,120 something either historic Asia Wilson Brianna Stewart so on and so forth with 656 00:47:28,120 --> 00:47:33,200 winning or individual accomplishments or you have to beat one of those stars in 657 00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:38,480 their build like you have to show out on that stage a rick a gumbo Wale on the 658 00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:42,560 stage everybody's watching a rick a gumbo Wale is coming our party to the 659 00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:52,560 world was the WMB All-Star Game where she breaks the record I think for threes 660 00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:58,160 in a game she knows she's got a lot of point records and this that and a third 661 00:47:58,160 --> 00:48:03,760 for what you know and everybody was oh my god who's a rick a gumbo Wale and that 662 00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:07,360 was like her moment to get noticed but she's been doing this for years she's 663 00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:11,440 one of the best WBA scores for years she routinely averages anywhere from 19 to 22 664 00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:14,520 points a game it's what she does she puts the ball in the hole she's one of 665 00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:17,720 the best shooters one of the best scores in the league but she's on the 666 00:48:17,720 --> 00:48:22,720 Dallas wings and nobody truly cares I think it's time for her to move on I 667 00:48:22,720 --> 00:48:27,560 think it's time for her to do what Nneka Gumake did to the Sparks and just say 668 00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:32,720 hey I don't want to come back so I mean you know the Sparks had the right to 669 00:48:32,720 --> 00:48:36,840 effectively franchise tag Nneka and say you know we want you back and she would 670 00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:41,600 have had to either suit up for the Sparks or she would have had to move on 671 00:48:41,600 --> 00:48:45,240 like sit out of here whatever made it uncomfortable but she went to management 672 00:48:45,240 --> 00:48:49,560 she was honest she said I want to move on and they let her move on you know 673 00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:54,280 basically free of charge if I would have loved to see Nneka Gumake and Cameron 674 00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:57,160 Brink and Rekia Jackson and that squad come together on the Sparks but hey 675 00:48:57,160 --> 00:49:05,880 it is what it is right and so I think for Rekia she needs to go to Dallas and 676 00:49:05,880 --> 00:49:08,680 say hey I would love to be traded this offseason now where she should be 677 00:49:08,680 --> 00:49:12,960 traded to I wouldn't mind seeing her in Chicago that's the kind of bucket that 678 00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:20,480 Chicago needs and she's a tough mighty player I know that the head coach over 679 00:49:20,480 --> 00:49:24,560 there Teresa Witherspoon would love her because of her tough-mindedness and 680 00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:29,480 again how she's always 100% she's always playing and she's an absolute bucket 681 00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:34,720 she's like an upgraded version of Kennedy Carter with less off-the-court 682 00:49:34,720 --> 00:49:41,360 problems so that would be a good spot for her I think honestly her on the Sparks 683 00:49:41,360 --> 00:49:45,920 would be good you know her with Cameron Brink I think she needs to go somewhere 684 00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:49,120 where she can come in and to be a bucket why say Chicago was something that 685 00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:53,640 jumped out to me very early they have high draft pick assets they can you know 686 00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:59,760 kind of fill the coffers of the Dallas wings with her assets but you've got to 687 00:49:59,760 --> 00:50:03,960 do something a Rekia Guguala has got to do something to get on the national stage to get 688 00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:09,960 people in front of her to get people noticing her and now great excuse me of 689 00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:13,880 a basketball player she really is because right now she's just wasting away in 690 00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:22,160 Dallas and our last topic for the NBA is Kathy Engelbert so she was asked a 691 00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:27,960 question about the new fans under NBA about the kind of the commentary around 692 00:50:27,960 --> 00:50:31,960 the league the discourse around the league namely with Angel Reese and 693 00:50:31,960 --> 00:50:37,560 Kaitlyn Clark and she did not do a very she did not do a very good commissioner 694 00:50:37,560 --> 00:50:47,240 job in answering the question she didn't do a very good commissioner job in kind 695 00:50:47,240 --> 00:51:03,920 of quelling the storm really she didn't do a good job at any point of doing her 696 00:51:03,920 --> 00:51:17,160 job you know and you're in a you're in a league that has a bunch of issues so 697 00:51:17,160 --> 00:51:25,280 you know she was asked and I'll read part you know I'll read it 698 00:51:25,280 --> 00:51:29,120 Engelbert was a commissioner she was on a podcast she was on a speaking on a 699 00:51:29,120 --> 00:51:36,840 show podcast whatever called power lunch and they asked her about some of the 700 00:51:36,840 --> 00:51:47,040 harassment and racially and otherwise of you know between players you know 701 00:51:47,040 --> 00:51:49,440 that's been going through and especially when it comes to it 702 00:51:49,440 --> 00:51:53,720 Kaitlyn Clark and Angel Reese spoke earlier this month about how some 703 00:51:53,720 --> 00:51:57,080 Kaitlyn Clark fans have harassed her online give her death threats followed her 704 00:51:57,080 --> 00:52:04,560 home created AI generated naked photos of her one fan called allegedly called 705 00:52:04,560 --> 00:52:08,440 Kennedy Carter a ghetto b-word at the team hotel because of her incident with 706 00:52:08,440 --> 00:52:16,120 Kaitlyn Clark Diamond Deshield was talking about how one fan hoped said her 707 00:52:16,120 --> 00:52:22,440 hope they hoped her spinal tumor would come back due to Kaitlyn Clark and 708 00:52:22,440 --> 00:52:32,720 basically Engelbert sidestep all of that she sidestepped everything and focused 709 00:52:32,720 --> 00:52:42,360 on what the rivalry between Clark and Reese can do similar to magic and bird 710 00:52:42,360 --> 00:52:53,240 and so she focused on that directly and she kind of just sized up excuse me like 711 00:52:53,240 --> 00:53:00,640 I said all of the discourse and all of the stuff surrounding the actual 712 00:53:00,640 --> 00:53:03,520 question and about the racism she just focused on the fact that how good it is 713 00:53:03,520 --> 00:53:10,000 for the WNBA that these two stars are battling and everybody lost it all the 714 00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:16,640 players lost to the WNBA the WPA WBPA whatever the WNBA Player 715 00:53:16,640 --> 00:53:22,200 Association issued a statement of what they wish Kathy Engelbert would have 716 00:53:22,200 --> 00:53:28,600 said like it was it was hot in the kitchen for her and it still is people 717 00:53:28,600 --> 00:53:34,920 writing articles and skips put something out in a league where two years ago she 718 00:53:34,920 --> 00:53:40,520 makes this statement and it's news for 24 hours and it goes away and actually 719 00:53:40,520 --> 00:53:44,880 part of her statement is the reason why it's not gonna go away in her product 720 00:53:44,880 --> 00:53:48,840 statement she said is there's no more apathy people care there's no more 721 00:53:48,840 --> 00:53:54,120 die-hard WNBA fans only cares about the WNBA and it's gonna be WNBA focused the 722 00:53:54,120 --> 00:53:59,840 entire time it is you know people outside the WNBA care now it is now a 723 00:53:59,840 --> 00:54:04,480 lot of issues of homosexuality in the WNBA and about race and about a lot of 724 00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:08,360 things had none do a basketball but it is now infiltrators were into the WNBA 725 00:54:08,360 --> 00:54:13,600 people care now you can't just do and say anything and so Kathy Engelbert 726 00:54:13,600 --> 00:54:18,160 stepped right into it do I think this should cost her her job of course not do 727 00:54:18,160 --> 00:54:24,480 I think that she should be you know made to publicly apologize video form not 728 00:54:24,480 --> 00:54:27,800 like you know not just put out a statement I think she should have the 729 00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:31,320 long form apologize on a video kind of screen yes so I think it's cost her a 730 00:54:31,320 --> 00:54:34,440 job a commission or no do I think she's been doing a good job of commission or 731 00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:41,560 lately yes you know this notwithstanding but she's had she's done good with 732 00:54:41,560 --> 00:54:45,600 expansion she's taken her time she hadn't she didn't do what I do was pop 733 00:54:45,600 --> 00:54:49,320 expand at like four teams at once she went once he's gonna go with one team a 734 00:54:49,320 --> 00:54:52,640 year for four years to get the 16 I think the magic number for the league is 735 00:54:52,640 --> 00:54:57,460 20 but she's gonna end up going to 16 teams over the next four years like 736 00:54:57,460 --> 00:55:02,200 she's done a great job recently hasn't handled some of the growth the pop 737 00:55:02,200 --> 00:55:06,600 growth well but I think the whole league infrastructure wasn't set up for that I 738 00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:10,760 mean no company is in order to grow three times in size overnight I don't 739 00:55:10,760 --> 00:55:17,400 think any company is sustained in that matter nothing is no system is designed 740 00:55:17,400 --> 00:55:20,800 to handle something like that I think she could have done a better job in that 741 00:55:20,800 --> 00:55:24,120 anyway but again I kind of gave her a little grace on that because overnight 742 00:55:24,120 --> 00:55:28,480 she became one of the more popular leagues in the world and so again I don't 743 00:55:28,480 --> 00:55:31,920 think there's a system on the planet designed to handle that necessarily but 744 00:55:31,920 --> 00:55:35,520 I think she could have done a better job at it all in all I don't think it's 745 00:55:35,520 --> 00:55:39,840 kind of measure cost her job I do think this was a step in it moment that she 746 00:55:39,840 --> 00:55:45,560 should learn from and grow from but up next we're gonna shift to our Jack's hot 747 00:55:45,560 --> 00:56:07,600 take which is about the Colorado Buffaloes football team welcome back into 748 00:56:07,600 --> 00:56:13,960 the show and now we're going to talk about the Colorado Buffaloes football 749 00:56:13,960 --> 00:56:21,800 team kind of in a free fall right now they took it on the chin against Nebraska 750 00:56:21,800 --> 00:56:30,120 on Saturday that led to some icky postgame comments from Shadua Sanders in 751 00:56:30,120 --> 00:56:34,120 which he had a point but he can't say it he spoke about you know the comment 752 00:56:34,120 --> 00:56:38,040 that stuck out to everybody's mind was how often did the Raiola get touched 753 00:56:38,040 --> 00:56:42,560 which directly throws his office line on the bus they didn't play well they 754 00:56:42,560 --> 00:56:48,240 couldn't run the ball they couldn't pass blocking they when they needed to and 755 00:56:48,240 --> 00:56:55,040 then on the other side Nebraska mauled Colorado the entire first half Colorado 756 00:56:55,040 --> 00:56:57,440 baseball just was in the second half they end up winning the second half 757 00:56:57,440 --> 00:57:02,600 actually 10 to 7 but they got mauled 21-0 in the first half and then by the 758 00:57:02,600 --> 00:57:06,800 time you start to come back it's far too little far too late and you don't have 759 00:57:06,800 --> 00:57:10,920 enough you know because again you can't run the ball so they're dialing up every 760 00:57:10,920 --> 00:57:15,480 exotic coverage dialing up every exotic blitz they can think of because I know 761 00:57:15,480 --> 00:57:21,640 you can't kill it with just a basic zone run like I know that I know that for a 762 00:57:21,640 --> 00:57:33,000 fact so that makes life difficult to be kind and that makes it hard for the 763 00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:37,560 Colorado Buffaloes to succeed going into this season I had them at 8 and 4 and 764 00:57:37,560 --> 00:57:42,000 after the Nebraska game I don't want to seem overreacting but I do think they I 765 00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:46,800 had them 8 and 4 9 3 and challenging for the big 12 after that Nebraska game I 766 00:57:46,800 --> 00:57:56,800 got 6 and 6 and they better hope they get a pop-tarts bowl invite just because 767 00:57:56,800 --> 00:58:06,160 of how they look they have no line and if it comes to a pop-tarts bowl I don't 768 00:58:06,160 --> 00:58:08,960 think Chidor is playing I don't think Shiloh is playing Travis Hunter probably 769 00:58:08,960 --> 00:58:13,280 doesn't play so on and so forth and you know I'm saying you're looking at Deon 770 00:58:13,280 --> 00:58:19,000 or running out of the tunnel with you know no stars on an already bad team and 771 00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:24,280 probably thrashing a bowl game so that could be a whole different issue 772 00:58:24,280 --> 00:58:30,400 entirely but that's still Colorado is Colorado now 6 and 6 after 4 and 8 after 773 00:58:30,400 --> 00:58:34,120 showing up improving three wins you're to improving two wins five win 774 00:58:34,120 --> 00:58:40,000 improvement in two years is massive at any level however that with the vitriol 775 00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:44,760 and the narrative and the and the lack of support and the lack of belief in the 776 00:58:44,760 --> 00:58:49,520 Colorado program and with the let's be honest media has now turned on Deon 777 00:58:49,520 --> 00:58:55,480 attitude that is coming out of the media he's gonna get slandered for this and 778 00:58:55,480 --> 00:58:58,360 people just in the Nebraska game was like oh did he really build a good team 779 00:58:58,360 --> 00:59:02,400 or did he just build a place where his kids can join like and then that's 780 00:59:02,400 --> 00:59:07,520 pretty much what happened and you know people turned on him when he left 781 00:59:07,520 --> 00:59:10,440 Jackson State now they're getting more and more they're throwing him into the 782 00:59:10,440 --> 00:59:16,080 fire at Colorado and it's just you know they're coming after him so we'll see 783 00:59:16,080 --> 00:59:22,080 how he stands up we'll see how he responds from a football perspective and 784 00:59:22,080 --> 00:59:27,000 I think a historic perspective having I mean there's been no first round pick 785 00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:30,360 quarterbacks from Colorado ever there's been no first round pick corners from 786 00:59:30,360 --> 00:59:33,680 Colorado ever so he's still gonna make history but if he were to have stated 787 00:59:33,680 --> 00:59:39,800 Jackson State with Travis and Shador and they leave and Shador is a number five 788 00:59:39,800 --> 00:59:43,520 pick and Travis number two pick and you're looking at you know two top five 789 00:59:43,520 --> 00:59:48,840 picks from the same HBCU first time ever and this down to third it may have 790 00:59:48,840 --> 00:59:53,120 changed the narrative on HBCUs and who knows what would have happened right but 791 00:59:53,120 --> 00:59:57,720 you know he said I make history at Colorado I just think that you know a 792 00:59:57,720 --> 01:00:01,160 lot of the slanders coming to him is from the wrong perspective but this team 793 01:00:01,160 --> 01:00:07,400 is this team they're gonna go 6-6 I mean last year they're 6-6 they beat 794 01:00:07,400 --> 01:00:11,760 Stanford and hold on another game so 6-6 is not insane I think that they close 795 01:00:11,760 --> 01:00:16,120 this I did they close a couple of games supposed to win you know they're 6-6 796 01:00:16,120 --> 01:00:22,560 7-5 you're looking at the Music City Bowl or the Pop Tarts Bowl 797 01:00:22,560 --> 01:00:26,080 someone's gonna give them a big bowl invite purely because of the fan base 798 01:00:26,080 --> 01:00:31,240 on the media attention and then we'll see Dion in the bowl game so that's what's 799 01:00:31,240 --> 01:00:34,920 happening there but you know my hopes of this team challenging for the big 12 800 01:00:34,920 --> 01:00:38,680 have been dashed my hopes of this team you know potentially finishing the 801 01:00:38,680 --> 01:00:45,960 season top 15 and making a playoff run has been dashed they are a very okay 802 01:00:45,960 --> 01:00:50,320 team which is fine for Boulder Colorado not fine for the national media that's 803 01:00:50,320 --> 01:00:55,880 gonna continue to slander Dion as long as it's in this space but that is all I 804 01:00:55,880 --> 01:01:01,680 have for you today this has been a fun show like I'm finishing it now you'll 805 01:01:01,680 --> 01:01:06,200 hear in probably 15 minutes or less so this is your host Justin Jackson signing 806 01:01:06,200 --> 01:01:29,780 up 807 01:01:29,780 --> 01:01:31,780 You
