00:03:01,860 --> 00:03:05,000 Happy holidays to you and your family. 51 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:09,440 For those who celebrate Thanksgiving, congratulations. 52 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:10,440 Thanksgiving is here. 53 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,480 For those who don't, enjoy the week off from work. 54 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:17,440 I have a couple days off from work that comes with this holiday in America. 55 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,780 But let's jump right into NFL week 12. 56 00:03:20,780 --> 00:03:22,840 Last start with Monday night football last night. 57 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,480 It was a battle of two of the young guns in the NFL. 58 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:32,760 Talk about two of the top five talents at the quarterback position left in the NFL with 59 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:34,500 Herbert and Lamar Jackson. 60 00:03:34,500 --> 00:03:39,120 For those of you who are curious, the other three of those talents to me is Patrick Mahomes, 61 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,120 is Joe Burrow and is Josh Allen. 62 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:45,040 I mean, you can make an argument for Kayla Williams as far as raw talent. 63 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:46,220 Haven't seen enough of it. 64 00:03:46,220 --> 00:03:51,000 You can make an argue where Jayden Daniels as far as raw talent started off hot, fell 65 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:52,000 off. 66 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,560 We'll get into Jayden Daniels in a bit. 67 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:59,120 You can make an argument for Kat LeMurray as far as the ability to throw and run. 68 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:05,080 But as far as the top five guys who we've seen proof of, and we have seen just the raw 69 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:11,080 ability of, those were two of the top five last night between Justin Herbert and Low 70 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:12,080 Lamar Jackson. 71 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,120 They put on a show. 72 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:19,600 But ultimately it came down to which organization is just a little bit better right now. 73 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:25,600 It was the hardball bowl the first time since Jim has returned that they have faced off. 74 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,480 It's Jim's first season with the Chargers after winning the national championship last 75 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,360 year with the Michigan Wolverines. 76 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:35,120 John continues his winning ways over brother Jim. 77 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,720 John's the older brother and he's 3-0. 78 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,800 He got him in Jim's first season in the NFL. 79 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:42,360 He got him in the Super Bowl. 80 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,080 Now he gets him again in the regular season. 81 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,000 Just go through some numbers really quickly. 82 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,840 Very pedestrian day as far as total for Lamar Jackson. 83 00:04:50,840 --> 00:04:54,960 But his QBR and his passer rating shows the difference. 84 00:04:54,960 --> 00:05:01,440 Lamar was 16-22, a buck 77, two touchdowns, no picks, one sack. 85 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:06,200 But his QBR of 86.8 on a scale of 0-100 with 50 being average. 86 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:14,320 He had a passer rating of 126.5 with a max of 158.3. 87 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,600 Derrick Henry was a very Derrick Henry like game. 88 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,880 24 carries, a buck 40, no touchdowns. 89 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:22,040 He had a big run of 27. 90 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,440 He had it actually on a third down or a fourth down. 91 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:31,600 It was a very important down when John Harbaugh starts rolling the dice on these downs. 92 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,280 Derrick Henry delivered. 93 00:05:33,280 --> 00:05:36,960 Justin Hill had a good night, four carries, 51 yards. 94 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:41,400 Most of it came on a 51 yard touchdown run. 95 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:47,640 Switching over to the Chargers, Justin Herbert, 21-36, 218, no touchdowns, no picks. 96 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:51,880 QBR of 70, passer rating of 75. 97 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:56,360 Dobbins I think injury changed the game because Dobbins before he goes out is six carries, 98 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,480 40 yards, a longer 17. 99 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,000 I think that ultimately changed the game. 100 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:05,080 It takes away the run game because the next best runner on the team was Justin Herbert. 101 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:11,480 You didn't get anything out of Hasan Haskins or Gus Edwards as far as the run game is concerned. 102 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:20,280 Now that we got the numbers out of the way, that was a game that again that came down 103 00:06:20,280 --> 00:06:21,280 to me. 104 00:06:21,280 --> 00:06:22,960 It's a structural game. 105 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:32,160 First of all, like I said, Austin Eckler gets hurt. 106 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:33,160 I just said his name too. 107 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:37,080 Man, I can't think of that guy's name anymore. 108 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:38,080 One second. 109 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:39,080 J.K. 110 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:44,960 Dobbins, I'm sorry, gets hurt and it really throws off the remainder of the game for the 111 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:45,960 Chargers. 112 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:46,960 You can tell they're going to do a lot of play action running. 113 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,000 They were running the ball really effectively. 114 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:53,960 They have the old Ravens offensive coordinator in the building. 115 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:57,400 He's really good at running, his name is Kasey, but he's really good at run schemes. 116 00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:02,200 His run schemes are elite and they were really using that and building that to build in Justin 117 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:06,840 Herbert play actions, hitting a lot of Lamma conkeys and so on and so forth. 118 00:07:06,840 --> 00:07:08,040 They were just really building that game. 119 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:12,200 Then when Dobbins goes out, you can tell Greg Roman is his name. 120 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:16,000 Greg Roman really was trying to figure it out with other backs. 121 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:17,920 It just wasn't working. 122 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:21,920 They never were in a position truly in the second half to where you could just say, okay, 123 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:26,080 we're going to run the ball eight, seven times in a row with all these different run schemes 124 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,760 really allow Herbert to just be a dynamo in the play action. 125 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:35,680 Especially after that last drive where they get in the field going, I think at 14, 13, 126 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:39,400 to me, the Chargers just never felt like they were able to run the ball. 127 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:44,480 Like I said, this is post Dobbins injury and it clearly showed. 128 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:48,320 On the Raven side of things, they got some things cleaned up and I think they grew up 129 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:49,320 a lot. 130 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:53,640 They grew up a lot in confidence a little bit last night in terms of what they were 131 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:54,640 looking at. 132 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:59,520 The Ravens had one of the worst pass defense in the league. 133 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,040 I talked to a lot of Ravens fans on a regular basis. 134 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:06,280 One thing they constantly lament is the passing defense of the Baltimore Ravens. 135 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:10,040 They talk about it all the time. 136 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,920 Not having Rocquon Smith, having to lean more on guys that normally you wouldn't have to 137 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:18,360 lean on, and your secondary stood up and killed one of the better quarterbacks in the league 138 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:22,200 relatively down. 139 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:30,400 Like I said, compared rating on Raiden, Lamar was 87 and 127, Herbert was 70 and 75. 140 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:35,960 So holding one of the better passing attacks down, really controlling what the Chargers 141 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:36,960 were able to do. 142 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:38,960 It also highlighted the lack of weapons for the Chargers. 143 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,360 Lad McConkie is easily the best receiver. 144 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,480 Wayne Johnson easily should not be an NFL receiver. 145 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,800 If he catches that pass, he probably hits his head on the goal post and it's going 146 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,640 to be a whole different conversation. 147 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:54,040 Him dropping that pass, it was on the third down, the Ravens come right down and score 148 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,440 a touchdown and go up two possessions and the whole game changes. 149 00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,040 It was a perfectly designed call. 150 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,440 Greg Roman dialed it up perfectly. 151 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:07,480 He got a lot of crossing routes, a mesh-ish concept through the middle against man coverage. 152 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:13,200 For those of you who know football, it's a lot of crossing routes, through man coverage. 153 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:17,360 Quinton Johnson gets rubbed off, boom, and hits him right in the hands and he just drops 154 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:18,360 it. 155 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,920 Like I said, the whole game is changed from that point on. 156 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:23,520 The Ravens do what the Ravens do. 157 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:25,360 They get up on you and they lean on you. 158 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,160 They leaned on them with Derrick Henry. 159 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,440 They leaned on them with one of the bigger guards I've ever seen in my life. 160 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,760 They leaned on them with Ricard, the fullback. 161 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:37,080 He just kept leaning and kept leaning and kept leaning. 162 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:41,160 They drained the clock out and ultimately drained the charge of spirit. 163 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:45,160 Khalil Mack is talking, talking about he wants to see them again because playing against 164 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,160 Henry ain't that hard. 165 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:53,760 24 for a buck 40, he says otherwise, but hey, he says he wants to see the Ravens again. 166 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:57,200 It's definitely something that could be a budding rivalry. 167 00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:02,440 I would enjoy seeing the brothers go at it, the Harbour brothers go at it repeatedly. 168 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:06,480 It's something that you didn't see whenever Jim was in the first time because Jim was 169 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:07,480 in the NFC. 170 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,040 I think Jim was there like six years. 171 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:13,320 He only played like twice and one of them was in the Super Bowl. 172 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:21,000 So now that Jim is in the NFC with John, hopefully we get more of these matchups. 173 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:22,000 Make it a yearly thing. 174 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,000 Come on, NFL, make it a yearly thing. 175 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,840 It was in LA this time, put it in the Baltimore next year. 176 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:32,480 I would love to see them in the playoff game at Baltimore Conference Championship game 177 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,200 when it goes to Super Bowl. 178 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:36,200 That'd be cool. 179 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:41,200 So I'm saying we get the opportunity to see that a little bit more, but shout out to the 180 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:45,000 Baltimore Ravens for getting it done. 181 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:50,840 So a growing topic that I honestly didn't even think was ever going to be a topic. 182 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,000 Bo Nicks for MV for offensive rookie of the year. 183 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,560 I'm going to say MVP sheesh for offensive rookie of the year. 184 00:10:56,560 --> 00:11:00,560 That is a real conversation right now. 185 00:11:00,560 --> 00:11:06,440 The odds have come way down for Jayden Daniels and they've gone way up for Bo Nicks. 186 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:11,640 And it's a real conversation that you've seen a lot of national platforms. 187 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:15,680 This is a conversation that again, I thought the rookie of the year race, hell I said it 188 00:11:15,680 --> 00:11:22,240 was over and done in week six because only the person I because Bo Nicks was horrible. 189 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,560 Drake May wasn't starting yet. 190 00:11:24,560 --> 00:11:28,600 Caleb Williams was awful and Jayden Daniels was in the MVP race. 191 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:30,640 I thought rookie of the year was over. 192 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:35,720 If I had to place my money on it, I'd still go Jayden Daniels because Jayden Daniels ultimately 193 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,120 to me is going to have, is going to be in the better position. 194 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,800 Jayden Daniels could win the Eagles exist. 195 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:45,360 So he's not going to win his division, but neither are the Broncos because the chiefs 196 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:46,360 exist. 197 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:52,320 Um, I just think Jayden Daniels ultimately will win it, but Bo Nicks has been incredibly 198 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:55,200 impressive after an incredibly so star. 199 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,280 I mean, he started off awful. 200 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:00,080 Like God awful. 201 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,360 Like why you in the NFL awful. 202 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:03,800 It was bad. 203 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:10,920 Um, but over the last nine, nine games, Nicks has night to total touchdowns to an exceptions. 204 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:19,320 Um, and there was another statistic I'm trying to find it where it spoke about, um, how he 205 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,920 played since the first month of the season. 206 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:24,280 Um, hold on. 207 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,360 Let me see if I can find it real quick. 208 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:32,960 If I can't just, but just six week 10, which over the past month or so, um, he's fourth 209 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:36,200 in passing grade per PFF tie for the first touchdowns. 210 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:40,200 Hadn't thrown a pick with a pass or reading that second in the league. 211 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:44,200 Um, and I'm trying to find, Oh, okay. 212 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:45,200 Got it. 213 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:46,200 Bleacher report posted it. 214 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:50,640 Um, in September he was one touchdown, four picks, two and two record. 215 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:54,440 Since September, 16 touchdowns, two picks, five and three record. 216 00:12:54,440 --> 00:13:01,760 Um, he is looking a lot better, um, over recently, predictably. 217 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:03,880 We spoke about on this show multiple times. 218 00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:08,000 If you don't believe me, if you're just new to the show, um, go back and listen to earlier 219 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:09,440 episodes, discussion, Jay and Daniels. 220 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:10,560 I said it repeatedly. 221 00:13:10,560 --> 00:13:12,560 I worried about Cliff Kingsbury. 222 00:13:12,560 --> 00:13:19,960 And my big worry with the Kingsbury was traditionally post Halloween, his offenses go to hell. 223 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:25,480 Like on, on schedule, they just fall off a map. 224 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:29,000 Jane Daniels has looked rough over the past month. 225 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:33,360 Anybody know what happened a month ago? 226 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:40,600 Halloween, the magic left and Jane Daniels has looked awful since that point. 227 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:45,440 Um, it just looks like everyone's catching up now. 228 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:51,480 Two, two, two to three things also could be working against Cliff Kingsbury. 229 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:55,040 And it's not like it's, you know, this 12 year veteran quarterback who's just stood 230 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:58,320 and then Kingsbury showed up and kids awful and the guy's awful at the Halloween. 231 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,600 No, there's stuff happening. 232 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:05,120 Um, that's not just, you know, not just Cliff Kingsbury. 233 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:06,920 For instance, Jay Daniels hurt his ribs. 234 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:14,440 Um, he has been appearing less willing to run down the field since the revenge. 235 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:18,280 Could be good for his career, but that was the element of the offense that Kingsbury 236 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:22,120 I'm sure had began to lean on with the fact that at certain moments Jayden's going to 237 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,800 get us out of a bad spot and just take off running. 238 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:28,200 Um, also Jane Daniels is a rookie. 239 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:36,840 So as complex as maybe his Cliff Kingsbury system is, there's only so much he's able 240 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:41,640 regardless of how many, how much football Jay Daniels played and regardless of how smart 241 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:47,800 Jay Daniels is and so on and so forth, there is only so much he's able to put on a rookie, 242 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,480 especially with so many pieces coming in and out. 243 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:56,400 He's only so willing to put up, he's only able to put so much on a rookie quarterback. 244 00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:58,820 So maybe the schemes are finally being figured out. 245 00:14:58,820 --> 00:15:02,520 Not because of this Kingsbury, Cliff Kingsbury, but because again, there's only so much you 246 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:09,600 can put on a rookie quarterback and also general defensive tape. 247 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,320 You can catch us off guard the first monthish. 248 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:13,800 Cool. 249 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:17,320 After that, people study tape on both sides. 250 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:22,300 So defensive coordinator, especially Goodwin, and he played a good one last week. 251 00:15:22,300 --> 00:15:28,080 Defensive coordinators on both sides are going to at some point figure out what is it you 252 00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:29,080 want to do. 253 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:30,080 Now, maybe you can do something else. 254 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:35,680 You can beat them a different way, but they're going to figure out why you're doing something, 255 00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:39,840 what you want to accomplish from it and what is the ultimate goal from doing it. 256 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:49,040 And I think that's playing a key role in Jay Daniels decline is that, you know, maybe some 257 00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:52,840 of his pre drive stuff was right when he's talking about he was a single read guy where 258 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:54,840 the V what he absolutely wants. 259 00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:55,840 It wasn't open. 260 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:57,320 He took off. 261 00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:00,160 So maybe that's coming to fruition at this moment. 262 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,840 But hey, right now it is a legitimate discussion. 263 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:12,960 Again, I still have Jay Daniels because to me, MVP month doesn't a non, you know, a bad 264 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:13,960 little rough little stretch. 265 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:14,960 Well, he's not awful. 266 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:15,960 He's just not as great. 267 00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:23,840 It doesn't outweigh the god awful stretch Bo Nicks had at the beginning of the season. 268 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,120 Saquon Barkley. 269 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:31,480 Is it finally time again for you running back to win MVP? 270 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:33,120 That and I don't mean Lamar Jackson. 271 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:38,400 So Saquon Barkley is ripping up the league. 272 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:42,640 I think he's leading the league in rushing him and Derek Henry are fighting over it. 273 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:44,120 He's he passed of their Henry. 274 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:55,680 And as of right now, he is currently on pace to win the NFL rushing title. 275 00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:58,800 He's on pace for to win the NFL rushing title. 276 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:04,640 He's on pace currently to break Eric Dickerson's 2105 rushing yards. 277 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:12,240 If Saquon Barkley wins MVP, to me, it will be because he broke 2105 rushing. 278 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:17,280 That's just to me, I because I can make a Josh Allen argument. 279 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,160 I can make a Lamar Jackson argument. 280 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,160 To me, I think Josh Allen has the biggest argument right now. 281 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:27,800 To me, if Saquon Barkley goes 2106, he's league MVP. 282 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:28,800 Period. 283 00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:29,800 He broke a league record. 284 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:31,120 It's not even a discussion. 285 00:17:31,120 --> 00:17:32,120 Who is MVP? 286 00:17:32,120 --> 00:17:39,120 He broke the league record. 287 00:17:39,120 --> 00:17:42,480 When Brady in 07, like obliterated the yards record. 288 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:44,260 It was not a discussion. 289 00:17:44,260 --> 00:17:50,200 So if Saquon goes 2106, he is league MVP. 290 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:55,680 The fact that we're even discussing a running back being league MVP is insane. 291 00:17:55,680 --> 00:18:02,960 Moreover, the fact that a team let that said running back walk for free and then dealt 292 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:08,600 with a whole other situation, the guy they actually paid who was terrible and he could 293 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:13,600 win MVP on the new team is mind blowing. 294 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:17,840 Saquon's already had his signature hurdle added to Madden. 295 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:22,560 Madden has a bunch of other problems, but they added a hurdle. 296 00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,960 He would be the runaway MVP if the tush push didn't exist. 297 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:32,720 I heard a stat yesterday that I think it's like 12 times or something like that. 298 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:36,600 He's guided down to the one and the very next play was a tush push. 299 00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:42,280 Let's say 12 of those plays, half of them become Saquon touchdowns. 300 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,920 He's running away with the MVP and hiding with it. 301 00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:46,080 It's his to lose. 302 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:54,760 But because he doesn't have the touchdown numbers due to the tush push, it's a discussion 303 00:18:54,760 --> 00:19:06,080 with again, I think Josh Allen is probably his biggest thing, his biggest challenger 304 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:10,000 to winning MVP at a running back position. 305 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:13,040 Then a couple of team notes. 306 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:17,600 The Vikings and the Chargers to me, my Super Bowl pick right now, Vikings and Chargers 307 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:19,400 continue to find ways to win. 308 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:20,800 That's why I have them at Super Bowl picks. 309 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:21,800 They just find ways. 310 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:23,800 I think the Vikings biggest challenger is the Eagles. 311 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,560 I think the Chiefs biggest challenger is themselves. 312 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:29,640 I don't think if the Chiefs play their A game, they're going to lose. 313 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:34,200 But I do think that they have one of these games where they're just rough and they're 314 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:39,000 out of it and they're missing throws they should hit, dropping passes and they're missing 315 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,040 blocking assignments and they beat themselves. 316 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:42,040 I think they're beatable. 317 00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:44,920 I think the Chiefs biggest challenger is themselves. 318 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:49,720 I think that the Minnesota Vikings biggest challenger is A. Sam Darnold, B. The Philadelphia 319 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:50,720 Eagles. 320 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:52,080 I love Sam Darnold. 321 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:53,080 I really do. 322 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:59,040 But it's something about having Sam Darnold. 323 00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:03,000 I don't think he's just ready yet to leave it into Super Bowl. 324 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,720 Now the Vikings perfect scenario, he does. 325 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:07,920 And then you find something to do with J.J. 326 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,200 McCarthy and you honestly don't care. 327 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:15,880 If Darnold plays really well, even in the playoffs, you lose in the division around 328 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:19,200 and you lose 34-31. 329 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:28,160 Darnold's in a freaking shootout and the Chiefs, not the Chiefs, the Eagles, for instance, 330 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:29,160 get him at the buzzer. 331 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,040 Now what do you do? 332 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,280 But if he goes to Super Bowl, I think he's starting the season. 333 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:36,040 Regardless of which, that is my Super Bowl pick currently. 334 00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:39,400 The Chiefs and the Vikings because again, they just find ways to win. 335 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:46,280 And that is a major part of the NFL and of making a playoff run is you just got to find 336 00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:48,520 ways to win games. 337 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:52,560 Then the Tennessee Titans and the Dallas Cowboys pull off upsets. 338 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:56,520 Again, the Titans, they handled the Texans. 339 00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,400 Something seriously going on with CJ Stroud. 340 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:02,520 He's had a horrible month of football. 341 00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:08,320 And then the Dallas Cowboys in one of the wildest games you will ever see beat the Commanders. 342 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:11,360 Think about Jane Daniels. 343 00:21:11,360 --> 00:21:14,200 Jane Daniels in that fourth quarter looked like Jane Daniels of old. 344 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:15,320 That game was insane. 345 00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:21,680 In the fourth quarter, you had two Cowboy kick return touchdowns, a couple of Miracle 346 00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:27,480 Washington Commanders touchdowns, including a 86 yard of the scary Terry that the kicker 347 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:33,240 Cybert proceeds to miss the extra point on, which directly leads to the second Cowboys 348 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:41,040 kick return for touchdown because I believe Austin Cybert makes the extra point 27-27 349 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,760 with 40 some odd seconds left. 350 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:45,560 I think the Cowboys take a knee. 351 00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:46,560 They don't risk it with Cooper Rush. 352 00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:51,400 As wild as the game is going, they get out of the quarter and they go to overtime. 353 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:55,120 But that's also incredibly logical and something no one's ever accused Mike McCarthy of being. 354 00:21:55,120 --> 00:21:57,040 So who knows what Mike would have done. 355 00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:00,440 But that game was absolutely insane. 356 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:04,920 And they pull off the upset as well over the Washington Commanders. 357 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,360 Now moving into some news. 358 00:22:07,360 --> 00:22:12,920 Daniel Jones has officially cleared waivers after being released per his request from 359 00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:14,120 the New York Giants. 360 00:22:14,120 --> 00:22:17,640 He apparently will have a several options to choose from. 361 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,160 He's already said no to the Raiders. 362 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:25,680 He is potentially looking to join from what all reports are saying a contender, which 363 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:26,680 is interesting. 364 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:28,200 Kind of for two reasons. 365 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:32,200 One, if he joins a contender, let's say it's a playoff game, that contender lose 366 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:33,200 their quarterback. 367 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:35,560 Now Daniel Jones is in the playoffs. 368 00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:39,960 But it also would showcase a potential Sam Darnold like resurgence. 369 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:41,600 Sam Darnold, high drive pick. 370 00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:45,760 He didn't get the second Mccontract, but high drive pick. 371 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:51,680 Rocky road Erling goes into Kyle Shanahan's building with the 49ers. 372 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:53,120 Get to gloom and review from the 49ers. 373 00:22:53,120 --> 00:22:55,520 That's how you land in the Vikings building. 374 00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,960 You are the starting quarterback for a hell of a playoff team. 375 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:03,880 Also Baker Mayfield, also high drive pick this time from Cleveland, goes and sits in 376 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:04,880 the same building. 377 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,160 Who does Baker go to? 378 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:11,360 Man, he ends up in, oh, goes to sit with the Rams and Charming Vey. 379 00:23:11,360 --> 00:23:14,560 He's locked with Charming Vey, gloom and review, goes to Tampa. 380 00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:15,640 Now look at him. 381 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:20,120 So I think he's looking at that path as a potential path of success. 382 00:23:20,120 --> 00:23:25,920 High drive pick, kind of a cluster F as far as around me, I leave, I go to a grown up, 383 00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:33,840 I go to an adult, someone that's going to recommend me highly and then I can move on 384 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:37,760 and go get a bag in a starting position. 385 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:40,000 Daniel Jones has made 108 million dollars in his career. 386 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:45,160 So sitting behind someone, a penny to a dollar at the chance of a really big deal is worth 387 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,120 it to Daniel Jones. 388 00:23:48,120 --> 00:23:52,320 Aaron Rodgers is a mess. 389 00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:54,000 He's played horrible. 390 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:59,080 The GM has been fired. 391 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:02,200 He apparently has a rift with the owner. 392 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:12,080 Now he has stated that that is vastly untrue and vastly done, vastly outdone, vastly untrue 393 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:14,120 with his relationship with owner Woody Johnson. 394 00:24:14,120 --> 00:24:21,040 Reportedly, however, Christopher Johnson, who's the little brother, loves Aaron Rodgers. 395 00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:27,340 So maybe Aaron could potentially try to maneuver his way into a starting spot under Chris due 396 00:24:27,340 --> 00:24:38,280 to the fact of Woody, a current owner, is expected to resume or retake his role as ambassador 397 00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:41,180 to England under the new Donald Trump administration. 398 00:24:41,180 --> 00:24:44,800 So that means brother Chris would have to take over the organization on a day to day 399 00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:45,800 basis. 400 00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:46,800 Chris and Aaron have a great relationship. 401 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:53,240 Speaking on the Pat McAfee Show, doing his Wednesday spot, Rodgers said, These have been 402 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:54,600 two of the best years of my life. 403 00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:58,520 As much as it's been frustrating and difficult, it's been two really beautiful years. 404 00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:02,520 Playing in New York would obviously be my first choice if I want to play. 405 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:05,940 So now he's going to the old Brett Farr playbook. 406 00:25:05,940 --> 00:25:20,480 If I do this, then then if I do this, sorry, if I do that, I want to be if if if. 407 00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:25,360 That was the game Aaron Rodgers played was a whole lot of if. 408 00:25:25,360 --> 00:25:28,600 He held Green Bay over the barrel for years due to if. 409 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:29,600 And then we went to the giant jets. 410 00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:30,600 He did the jets. 411 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:31,600 Same thing. 412 00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:41,960 If if if I think passively potentially Rodgers wants to work under Chris, not under Woody. 413 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,840 I think this is the way of doing it. 414 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:49,360 Malik Neighbors speaks out against the organization, the Giants, saying that it may not have been 415 00:25:49,360 --> 00:25:50,360 a quarterback thing. 416 00:25:50,360 --> 00:25:52,640 The team plays soft as bleep. 417 00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:53,640 I would agree. 418 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:56,960 I think that potentially Brian Dable is losing the locker room. 419 00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:00,800 And as much as I like Brian Dable, I said it before and I'll say it again. 420 00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:07,080 Whenever players feel bold enough, especially young, old skill line, it doesn't matter 421 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:13,600 when those guys feel bold enough to openly question the organization from a decision 422 00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:19,360 making standpoint or the team from a schematic effort standpoint, that coach or management 423 00:26:19,360 --> 00:26:20,360 has lost respect. 424 00:26:20,360 --> 00:26:25,280 And when it comes to grown men has lost them in order to try and lead them. 425 00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:31,120 So the fact that Malik Neighbors did this is not a good sign for Brian Dable. 426 00:26:31,120 --> 00:26:33,120 And then two torn pecs. 427 00:26:33,120 --> 00:26:38,720 Brandon Graham told the media post game he's out for the season due to a torn pec and Jalen 428 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:43,600 Peacher, safety from the Houston Texans, has a partially torn pec and he expected to miss 429 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:45,640 multiple weeks. 430 00:26:45,640 --> 00:27:06,000 But up next, we will discuss NFL Week 13. 431 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:10,680 Welcome back to the show. 432 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:12,280 And we're staying on the NFL. 433 00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:16,000 We're going to jump into NFL Week 13 and we're going to start off with the Thanksgiving 434 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:17,000 Day Triple Header. 435 00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:21,400 If I remember correctly, it goes Bears, Lions, Giants, Cowboys, Dolphins, Packers. 436 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:24,080 We're going to start off with Bears and Lions. 437 00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:25,280 This game is in our Jax pack. 438 00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:27,840 Of course, when the game is in our Jax pack, we don't pick it. 439 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:31,240 However, this is the only Thanksgiving Day game in our Jax pack. 440 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:33,800 So we're just going to discuss it really quickly. 441 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:34,800 Bears go to Lions. 442 00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:39,520 Now, as always, the traditional Thanksgiving Day hosts are Lions and Cowboys. 443 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:43,360 Now this game used to be a game nobody wanted to play. 444 00:27:43,360 --> 00:27:46,400 That's the reason why the Cowboys and Lions are grandfathered into it every year, why 445 00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:50,920 they host it every year, because this game was a game nobody wanted to play. 446 00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:51,920 It wasn't fun. 447 00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:57,680 So traditionally, Thursday night football, Black Friday football, Saturday NFL, it wasn't 448 00:27:57,680 --> 00:27:59,400 like, yeah, but it was on Sunday. 449 00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:02,560 Monday was a thing, but nobody played on Thursday. 450 00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:03,560 You know what I'm saying? 451 00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:04,560 Like Thursday wasn't a day. 452 00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:05,560 Like that wasn't a thing. 453 00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:10,240 So when the NFL started highlighting Thanksgiving Day games, they sent it out to the whole league 454 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:12,920 almost as a who wants to do it. 455 00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:13,920 Nobody really wanted to. 456 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,800 The Cowboys and the Lions said sure. 457 00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:18,680 And so now they've done it every year. 458 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:21,720 And for years, that was the standable games. 459 00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:28,520 It was Lions at noon, Cowboys at three, end of Thanksgiving Day football. 460 00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:33,480 Now the NFL added a third window because teams have realized that's a prime time game. 461 00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:36,680 First of all, we're already playing Thursday night football anyway. 462 00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:37,680 Right. 463 00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:40,280 But Thanksgiving, usually most people are off the next day. 464 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:43,840 If you're a school chief, you're in schools, government, whatever. 465 00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:44,840 Usually you're off the next day. 466 00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:50,840 So that third window, that normal Thursday night football window is wide open for a good 467 00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:51,840 game. 468 00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:53,840 So now teams are more open doing it, whatever. 469 00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:57,200 So that's why the Lions and the Cowboys have it every year for those who didn't know. 470 00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,680 But anyway, there's go at Lions this year. 471 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:00,680 Divisional game. 472 00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:02,400 This game was an important game. 473 00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:05,720 This game was a game that bears lose, they're cooked. 474 00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:07,720 They're over with. 475 00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:13,400 As far as I just don't see a path for the Bears to get into the playoffs. 476 00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:20,480 Obviously, I didn't mean obviously they can't win the division, right? 477 00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:21,480 The division's over. 478 00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:24,960 It is the Lions division to lose. 479 00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:25,960 The division's over. 480 00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:32,680 But I do believe that in the NFC, and I'm going to go to the playoff tab, sorry, in 481 00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:36,760 the NFC right now, the Detroit Lions are 10 and 1. 482 00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:38,760 The Bears are 4 and 7. 483 00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:40,720 It's an elimination game for the Bears. 484 00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:42,720 The Bears lose this game, it's over. 485 00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:44,840 I mean, it's as good as dead. 486 00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:46,640 The season's over. 487 00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:58,440 For a lot of people's, especially in the betting community, a lot of people's pick, dark horse 488 00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:02,000 pick, and again, it could have been due to the financials, but the dark horse pick for 489 00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:06,200 a lot of NFC championship game contenders for the Bears, their season could be over 490 00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:07,400 on Thanksgiving Day. 491 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:09,240 It could be dead. 492 00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:13,400 The Detroit Lions, they're looking to continue to roll. 493 00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:16,840 Win teams don't blow people out. 494 00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:20,120 They win the game, they just don't blow people out. 495 00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:23,720 They always feel like they're a player away or two players away from losing the game. 496 00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:27,880 They just don't blow people out. 497 00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:32,680 And the Detroit Lions, however, are not one of those people. 498 00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:37,160 Like at a certain point in the NFL, and you don't really see it as, you see it more in 499 00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:41,960 college, but at a certain point in the NFL, you pull up. 500 00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:43,000 Who did Detroit play recently? 501 00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:44,760 They scored like seven for seven. 502 00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:47,640 There's no way that seven touchdowns on seven possessions. 503 00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:48,960 And I kept scoring. 504 00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:52,840 They don't believe in pulling up. 505 00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:57,960 But even if they put their backups in, okay, the NFL is harder to pull up than college, 506 00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:03,320 naturally, because I only have 46 active players. 507 00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:08,560 See if I divide it right down the middle, 20-23, I stay on offense, I'm carrying 23 508 00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:09,880 active guys. 509 00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:14,840 Another carrying seven linemen, eight linemen, so that's, I got 15 left. 510 00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:16,840 Two active quarterbacks, 13 left. 511 00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:20,480 Okay, so I have my starting five skill guys. 512 00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:21,720 I have six skill guys. 513 00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:23,640 Those guys are NFL players. 514 00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:26,800 So especially on the Lions, I'll pull Dave in Montgomery and put in Gibbs. 515 00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:28,640 Like, you know what I'm saying? 516 00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:33,040 Like that doesn't really, it's not really a dip as far as effectiveness, and I'm not 517 00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:34,560 pulling my linemen. 518 00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:39,140 So at that point, if the line has been blowing you out the ball all day, the second runner 519 00:31:39,140 --> 00:31:40,360 back is also really good. 520 00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:42,280 We're just going to keep scoring the ball. 521 00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:45,640 And it's kind of what the Detroit Lions do to people. 522 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:48,000 So that should actually be an interesting game. 523 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:51,640 Our second window, the battle of the backups, Tommy DeVito, Cooper Rush. 524 00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:53,720 The New York Giants are facing Dallas Cowboys. 525 00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:55,920 Again, the Cowboys are our traditional host. 526 00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:57,920 Again, another division game. 527 00:31:57,920 --> 00:31:58,920 The Giants at Cowboys. 528 00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:01,940 Now this should be a fun one. 529 00:32:01,940 --> 00:32:05,760 The Giants don't seem to have quit. 530 00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:11,240 The League neighbors has openly slandered the coach, which is not great, right? 531 00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:12,240 That's not good. 532 00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:13,720 That's not good. 533 00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:17,240 But figuratively, they don't seem to have quit. 534 00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:19,440 Now the Buccaneers rolled them. 535 00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:24,240 The Buccaneers also are a team that would roll you if you give them the opportunity. 536 00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:30,200 And the Bucs absolutely rolled them. 537 00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:34,640 And so that's, you know, so that is a situation. 538 00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:44,520 And then the Cowboys, on the other hand, they have an opportunity to be irrationally confident 539 00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:47,400 because they went into Washington and they beat the commanders. 540 00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:49,420 Now it was a wild way to do it. 541 00:32:49,420 --> 00:32:51,840 It was an insane way to do it. 542 00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:55,840 Off the wall, does it make sense way to do it? 543 00:32:55,840 --> 00:33:00,560 However, they did it, right? 544 00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:09,320 And so because of which they have a confidence of we beat the commanders, we turn around 545 00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:11,360 and compete the Giants. 546 00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:14,960 And then we're in a position where we're on a two game win streak with an extended 547 00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:16,960 week before our next ballgame. 548 00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:20,120 I mean, these guys are professional athletes. 549 00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:23,520 While my brain could be saying they've got no chance. 550 00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:28,680 While the average fan could be saying, God, they've got no chance. 551 00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:29,680 Right? 552 00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:32,840 I mean, they've got no chance. 553 00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:34,240 Right? 554 00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:36,520 We all could be saying that. 555 00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:38,120 Right? 556 00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:41,600 At the end of the day, right? 557 00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:49,440 Regardless of if those athletes in there are irrational people, in order to be in order 558 00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:53,960 to be a professional athlete, you have to be irrational your whole life. 559 00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:56,000 You have to be rational in high school. 560 00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:59,840 Yes, you could be a four star recruit, five star recruit in high school. 561 00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:03,600 You have to be irrational enough to go onto a team more than likely of a bunch of other 562 00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:05,600 four and five star recruits. 563 00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:08,520 Then be rational enough to have the belief in yourself that you're going to play. 564 00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:11,240 Then be rational enough to have yourself believe that you're going to every day you train 565 00:34:11,240 --> 00:34:14,800 these crazy sessions of Coach Yellowjinn, Kershia out and you're away from your family 566 00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:15,800 and other stuff. 567 00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:16,800 It's going to be worth it. 568 00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:19,400 Then you have to be rational to put yourself in the draft. 569 00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:21,320 Hire an agent to believe in you. 570 00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:23,200 Go to training camp, repeat the process all over. 571 00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:29,320 When you get to a professional athlete, you've probably been irrational about yourself logically 572 00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:32,480 since you were about six or seven. 573 00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:37,720 So a pro athlete getting a two game win streak and in their heads like we're not mathematically 574 00:34:37,720 --> 00:34:40,680 out of this, they can charge from here. 575 00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:43,120 This is a huge game for the Cowboys. 576 00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:45,680 So huge in fact, I'm going to pick them to win this game. 577 00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:47,320 Now again, playing the Giants doesn't help. 578 00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:48,320 It doesn't hurt. 579 00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:51,560 But I'm going to pick them to win this game because I do think the Cowboys are just going 580 00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:54,000 to ramrod through this game. 581 00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:58,440 They're at home, which is probably the worst thing for them to be, but they're at home. 582 00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:00,480 They're coming off big win against the commanders. 583 00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:04,080 They're playing a Giants team that if they haven't quit, they're teetering and it's 584 00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:11,360 an opportunity for them to continue to roll right into greatness going into week 14. 585 00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:16,840 And then the non-traditional slot, Dolphins at Packers could be a very interesting game. 586 00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:19,920 Two has been rolling since they came back from a concussion. 587 00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:23,360 Joy and Love and Josh Jacobs are hot for the Packers. 588 00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:26,120 This is a game that if not in my Jags Packers, I'm going to pick it. 589 00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:30,120 Due to the fact that it's a road game, I'm going to pick the Packers. 590 00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:36,080 If this game is in Miami, I might still pick the Packers, but my brain will probably lean 591 00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:37,080 to the Dolphins. 592 00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:38,280 It's on the road. 593 00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:39,520 It's in Green Bay. 594 00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:43,440 I'm not sure what the weather is going to be for this game, but I'm just going to bet 595 00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:46,080 Thanksgiving Day in Green Bay isn't warm. 596 00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:54,440 And we've already seen how Two will perform in cold weather. 597 00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:58,920 Trying to get the weather update for it now. 598 00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:02,080 It is very reasonably priced tickets. 599 00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:05,520 It is going to be 28 degrees for game time. 600 00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:07,920 Clear skies, but 28 degrees. 601 00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:11,800 We've already seen how Two at Ta'ka Velo and that Dolphins team performs under in cold 602 00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:12,800 weather. 603 00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:15,800 28 degrees is freezing, especially on the frozen tundra. 604 00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:19,080 The field is going to be wet because they heat the ground up, so it's going to be slippery 605 00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:22,280 all over the place. 606 00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:24,280 I've got the Packers here winning this game. 607 00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:25,280 Only a 3.5 point spray. 608 00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:26,280 I think the Packers are going to dominate. 609 00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:29,000 Again, I've just seen the Dolphins in cold weather too many times. 610 00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:34,080 It does get much more cold than the literal frozen tundra of Lambeau Field. 611 00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:36,080 I've got the Packers here. 612 00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:39,020 Again, mine is 3.5 years of spreading. 613 00:36:39,020 --> 00:36:41,640 This is my sixth game of almost putting the Jags Pack. 614 00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:45,120 I've got the Packers here. 615 00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:50,200 The Steelers continue their march through the AFC North as they go on the road to the Bengals. 616 00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:51,720 Again, 9-9 Jags Pack. 617 00:36:51,720 --> 00:36:53,960 Again, a game that is vitally important for both sides. 618 00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:56,800 If you're the Pittsburgh Steelers, you have to get back on track. 619 00:36:56,800 --> 00:37:01,060 Yes, you just beat the Ravens, but I meant offensively. 620 00:37:01,060 --> 00:37:03,160 You won that game with six field goals. 621 00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:04,160 That's not going to work. 622 00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:07,400 Then you at home and kick six field goals. 623 00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:08,400 I get it. 624 00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:09,400 It's the Ravens. 625 00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:10,400 I understand it's a division opponent. 626 00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:11,400 I get it. 627 00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:15,080 Sometimes you just ain't got it, but six field goals is not going to work. 628 00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:17,760 Then you look at the Cincinnati Bengals. 629 00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:20,640 Same way I spoke about the Bears, this is the Bengals' last best shot. 630 00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:25,240 Joe Burrow spoke about it a couple weeks ago where he did quick mental math on the podium. 631 00:37:25,240 --> 00:37:29,560 It was like, 10 wins gets us in, so in order for us to do it, we're going to have to go 632 00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:32,960 seven out of our last nine. 633 00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:35,560 It was one of the more interesting things. 634 00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:44,280 It was the first time I can remember seeing a player do fan math or amateur analyst math, 635 00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:48,960 as I call it, where you think, okay, man, my team, I know 11 wins will get us in. 636 00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:49,960 We got five. 637 00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:52,240 Let's see if I can get five wins out of this schedule. 638 00:37:52,240 --> 00:37:53,240 Let's see if we can get it. 639 00:37:53,240 --> 00:37:54,840 Six wins out of this schedule, let's see if we can get in. 640 00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:55,840 He did it on the podium. 641 00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:59,000 He was just like, yeah, 10 wins should get us in. 642 00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:01,360 We got three, seven of our last nine. 643 00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:03,120 I think we can do it. 644 00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:09,920 You can tell even in the room, the media members were like, yeah. 645 00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:12,800 Even the questions afterwards were a little off. 646 00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:18,160 I don't think anybody in the room, I know I didn't for sure, had, just watching the 647 00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:21,160 interview, had seen a player do what I would call fan math. 648 00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:22,960 Like, okay, yeah, this makes sense. 649 00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:23,960 Boom, boom, boom. 650 00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:24,960 It's like, yo. 651 00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:28,360 Again, this is effectively, they're in the playoffs already. 652 00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:30,120 That's why I don't like Zach Taylor. 653 00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:34,560 You're putting a really, really talented roster in a position where, well, I mean, the office 654 00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:39,400 line isn't great, but you're putting a fairly talented team in a position every year where 655 00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:44,600 they have to rip off this crazy run to even get into the playoffs. 656 00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:47,520 Joe Burrow is like first to second in every passing category. 657 00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:52,120 Jamar Chase is on pace to win the triple crown and receiving, and they're like four and seven. 658 00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:57,720 It's like, why are they going through this every single year? 659 00:38:57,720 --> 00:39:01,560 But they're going to have to rip off a lot of wins in a row. 660 00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:04,320 I think they do it. 661 00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:05,720 I think they do it. 662 00:39:05,720 --> 00:39:10,280 I think that the Bengals get it done against the Steelers. 663 00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:15,080 I think they just outscore the Steelers in this one. 664 00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:18,120 Eagles at Ravens, huge game, huge, huge game. 665 00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:20,240 Again, not Jack's pack. 666 00:39:20,240 --> 00:39:23,760 Eagles at Ravens is a big one, and it's a big one for a multitude of reasons. 667 00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:28,720 Number one, these are two of the top teams in their respective conferences. 668 00:39:28,720 --> 00:39:31,440 It could be a Super Bowl preview. 669 00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:34,760 The Eagles have the second or third best record in the NFC. 670 00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:38,680 Eagles are top four in the NFC, both coming off big wins. 671 00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:44,560 Eagles coming off their win, where Saquon Barkley goes absolutely ballistic. 672 00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:48,880 The Ravens come off their win, where they dominate the Chargers in the second half of 673 00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:49,880 the game. 674 00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:54,480 The two top running backs in the league, Saquon Barkley and Derrick Henry, are going to go 675 00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:56,680 back and forth. 676 00:39:56,680 --> 00:40:00,240 Two of the top rushing attacks in the league, we add in their quarterbacks, Jalen Hurts 677 00:40:00,240 --> 00:40:01,520 and Lamar Jackson. 678 00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:06,280 We've got talented receivers on both, so talented pass catchers on both sides. 679 00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:09,720 For the Eagles, you've got AJ Brown, Devontae Smith is healthy. 680 00:40:09,720 --> 00:40:15,320 And then on the Ravens side, you've got Zay Flowers and Mark Andrews. 681 00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:20,320 Two very similar style defenses, both depend on good linebacker play, running around with 682 00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:23,280 the linebackers and not the world's best secondaries. 683 00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:26,120 So this will be a very interesting game. 684 00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:28,720 This game looks very mirrored of each other. 685 00:40:28,720 --> 00:40:32,960 We're looking at two teams that look a lot like each other. 686 00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:36,160 And I'm going to go with the Ravens in this game purely because of home field. 687 00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:40,080 I think if this is a neutral side game, I may end up leading Eagles. 688 00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:45,320 But I think that if Henry and Lamar get active early, I think it's going to be hard to keep 689 00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:48,160 them from going downhill in the bank. 690 00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:51,080 So I've got the Ravens winning this game. 691 00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:53,200 And then 49 at the Bills. 692 00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:56,120 Now I've got to talk a lot about it because we don't have a Brock Purdy update, although 693 00:40:56,120 --> 00:41:00,160 he did have a minor throwing session recently, but the game is kind of hard to pick it. 694 00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:01,560 We don't know what Purdy is going to do. 695 00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:02,840 So we're not going to pick it. 696 00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:08,840 But it is a game for Josh Allen to get rolling, back rolling in the MVP discussion. 697 00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:13,000 We haven't seen him in a couple of weeks and say Kawhin has done some greatness. 698 00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:40,400 But up next, we're going to talk about our NFL betting segment, Jax Pack. 699 00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:44,720 Welcome back to the show. 700 00:41:44,720 --> 00:41:50,640 And now we're going to get into our NFL betting segment, Jax Pack, where we pick a five pack 701 00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:57,360 of games against the spread every single week with again, our goal and I haven't talked 702 00:41:57,360 --> 00:42:00,840 about a couple of weeks because I haven't really been on a couple of weeks, but haven't 703 00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:02,400 talked about in a couple of weeks. 704 00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:07,840 Our goal is to be 57%, 56 to 57% and above. 705 00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:12,140 If you hit that number, you are considered a professional gambler's ability because if 706 00:42:12,140 --> 00:42:16,800 you do that, cover it a bunch of, you don't want to go too far to the minutia, but it 707 00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:18,040 covers juice. 708 00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:20,880 It covers that you pick all favorites all the time. 709 00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:25,000 Like, but if you hit 57%, you'll always come out with plus money. 710 00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:32,880 So we are sitting at 55% on the season, which I actually think probably a little bit better 711 00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:36,440 because I'm not sure how the ties are figured in, but I've counted like regular stuff. 712 00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:39,880 We are 55%. So we're just below the level of a freshman gambler. 713 00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:40,880 I think it's a good thing. 714 00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:45,080 We're coming off of winning week three and two, I think two, two and three weeks. 715 00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:48,640 So we had a few four and one weeks put together, then some two and threes brought us back down. 716 00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:51,480 Now we're back positive with a three and two week. 717 00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:54,720 I feel really, really good about our numbers and I haven't felt really, really good about 718 00:42:54,720 --> 00:42:56,080 the numbers in a while. 719 00:42:56,080 --> 00:43:00,200 I think this is a week where Vegas is kind of begging us to pick some sides, but we're 720 00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:03,640 going to go into games I know we're going to hit on. 721 00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:06,040 First one, my favorite one, my lock of the week. 722 00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:08,360 Lions minus 11 versus the bears. 723 00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:09,360 Take the lions. 724 00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:12,080 Remember I said what the lions are already. 725 00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:16,560 They are designed, they are built, they are wired to blow people out. 726 00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:17,560 Period. 727 00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:19,760 There is no conversation about it. 728 00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:24,360 They don't care about what you want to get done. 729 00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:29,600 They are there to blow people out. 730 00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:31,800 That is their entire purpose. 731 00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:34,000 They don't believe in backing off. 732 00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:35,000 They don't believe in. 733 00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:37,240 We're just going to run the ball. 734 00:43:37,240 --> 00:43:38,600 No, no. 735 00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:44,000 They are trying to blow people out. 736 00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:47,600 Period. 737 00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:50,400 And that's what they are trying to do. 738 00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:55,080 And that's what their goal is every single time. 739 00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:57,440 And I think that the bears are going to be the latest victim. 740 00:43:57,440 --> 00:44:05,080 I don't see how the bears score 20 points in this game. 741 00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:10,400 And I just don't see how truly, I just don't see how the Lions score anything less than 742 00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:11,400 35. 743 00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:14,560 Like I think the Lions are going to ramrod the Bears here. 744 00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:17,100 Now as the division came, it's on Thanksgiving. 745 00:44:17,100 --> 00:44:21,680 It feels like with being 11, that's two touchdowns because touchdown on a field goal is still 746 00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:22,680 10. 747 00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:26,360 I just think that the Lions are going to win this game by 14 to 17 points and they easily 748 00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:28,520 cover the minus 11. 749 00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:33,560 Raiders, plus 13 and a half at the Chiefs take the Raiders. 750 00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:35,200 Chiefs will win the game. 751 00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:36,600 Raiders will win the point spread. 752 00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:38,480 The Chiefs are not designing a blue pool. 753 00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:39,480 They're not. 754 00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:42,200 And I knew that last week, I could have gone four and one. 755 00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:45,960 I knew that last week and I went against myself. 756 00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:50,880 I guess my better judgment as I was putting the pick in, I was saying it was wrong and 757 00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:54,680 went against myself and I could have been four and one last week. 758 00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:55,880 I just missed the Texans game. 759 00:44:55,880 --> 00:45:01,480 I meant that one, but I had the Chiefs right in my head and then changed it. 760 00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:02,760 I'm not going to fool with that. 761 00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:04,560 I'm not going to be fooled by that again. 762 00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:07,560 The Chiefs are not designed to blow people out. 763 00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:08,560 They just don't. 764 00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:15,400 I don't, there's certain teams every year where they just don't. 765 00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:21,760 Like I don't know why they just don't blow people out. 766 00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:25,680 In the Chiefs this year, it doesn't matter how much success they have. 767 00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:31,720 It doesn't matter how amazing they are. 768 00:45:31,720 --> 00:45:36,240 It doesn't matter how, it doesn't matter anything. 769 00:45:36,240 --> 00:45:37,240 It doesn't matter. 770 00:45:37,240 --> 00:45:42,520 They simply don't blow people out. 771 00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:47,920 It's actually wild how much they don't blow people out. 772 00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:53,920 You would think at a certain point they would just get it. 773 00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:55,600 You know what I'm saying? 774 00:45:55,600 --> 00:46:00,440 They would just understand how to do it. 775 00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:02,360 They just don't. 776 00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:09,920 It's just so strange that a team that's 10-1, that a team that's a Super Bowl champion 777 00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:13,840 and best quarterback in the league, best player in the league, best coach in the league, all 778 00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:14,840 this stuff. 779 00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:20,520 One of the best defensive players in the league, every game it's like there's three minutes 780 00:46:20,520 --> 00:46:23,360 left and they're either tied down or field goal, up or field goal. 781 00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:25,640 That's just how the game goes. 782 00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:27,000 I'm not going to fall into that trap again. 783 00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:29,800 I'm going to go Raiders plus 13 and a half. 784 00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:31,240 Oh I didn't even see this game. 785 00:46:31,240 --> 00:46:33,000 My apologies guys, I broke my own rule. 786 00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:35,880 Bingles minus three versus Pittsburgh. 787 00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:36,880 Take the bingles here. 788 00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:37,880 I didn't see it. 789 00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:40,120 You guys have already heard me expound in this game plenty of times, but I've got the 790 00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:42,080 bingles here out of desperation. 791 00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:45,800 I'm going to go with Pittsburgh's offense. 792 00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:47,640 Texans minus five at the Jags. 793 00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:51,400 This is a fading the Jags way more than it is picking the Texans. 794 00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:55,240 This is I don't believe in the Jacksonville at all, especially Mac Jones as opposed to 795 00:46:55,240 --> 00:47:00,720 the I am what I love CJ Stroud, which I do, and the Houston Texans. 796 00:47:00,720 --> 00:47:06,240 In order for the Texans to cover this spread, they only have to win by five. 797 00:47:06,240 --> 00:47:09,600 16 to 10 is six. 798 00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:12,440 10 to three is seven. 799 00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:16,240 Like I said, I'm not picking this game for Houston. 800 00:47:16,240 --> 00:47:20,000 I'm basically picking against Jacksonville. 801 00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:21,480 And I'm going to continue to do that. 802 00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:25,040 So I've got Texans and minus five at the Jags. 803 00:47:25,040 --> 00:47:27,240 And then my last game, again, that's important. 804 00:47:27,240 --> 00:47:28,640 Again, it's vitally important. 805 00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:32,480 I'm still riding the Daniels to Jane Daniels hype train all the way to the Rookie of the 806 00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:33,480 Year. 807 00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:36,520 The MVP is sailed, but all the way to the Rookie of the Year. 808 00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:40,880 That's minus five and a half at the Titans, again, very similar situation. 809 00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:44,080 Fading the Titans just opposed to picking the commanders. 810 00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:47,200 I know that the Cliff Kingsbury post-Halloween thing. 811 00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:48,280 I told you guys about it. 812 00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:50,000 I know it. 813 00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:59,280 I know that Tennessee just came off a hell of a win at or against the Houston Texans. 814 00:47:59,280 --> 00:48:01,120 I understand. 815 00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:03,640 I understand that Washington's came off a crushing loss. 816 00:48:03,640 --> 00:48:04,920 I understand. 817 00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:09,480 But what that fourth quarter showed Washington is that their offense can work. 818 00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:10,960 That their offense can work. 819 00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:12,560 Their defense was just as bad. 820 00:48:12,560 --> 00:48:16,520 Specifically, that special team gave up two touchdowns and a missed extra point in the 821 00:48:16,520 --> 00:48:17,520 fourth quarter. 822 00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:19,120 I totally understand. 823 00:48:19,120 --> 00:48:21,040 But their offense can work. 824 00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:22,840 That's what that fourth quarter showed me. 825 00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:23,840 Hopefully it showed them. 826 00:48:23,840 --> 00:48:26,560 Remember that irrationality we talked about with the Cowboys? 827 00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:29,520 The Commandant-type pro athletes too, they're just as irrational. 828 00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:32,120 So I mean, look at Jane Daniels. 829 00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:37,320 He was a starter at Arizona State, trenched in starter, and had the irrational idea of 830 00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:44,280 going from Arizona State to LSU to try and become better. 831 00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:49,240 Most guys as a starter don't leave a program to go be a starter on a program that's not 832 00:48:49,240 --> 00:48:50,240 ready to win an ad. 833 00:48:50,240 --> 00:48:57,640 Like Caleb Downs left Bama to go to Ohio State. 834 00:48:57,640 --> 00:48:59,280 Okay, that's a different story. 835 00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:02,800 Jane Daniels was on no one's draft board when he left Arizona State. 836 00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:08,320 So to go to LSU, probably without a promise he'd start because Nussmeyer was there. 837 00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:11,480 They had other guys there. 838 00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:14,000 And then he still, you know what I'm saying, he turns out what he turns out. 839 00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:17,120 So irrationality runs in the bloodline of pro athlete. 840 00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:18,440 I think they'll just beat the Titans here. 841 00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:20,040 Again, this is a fading Will Levis. 842 00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:22,320 Okay, Will Levis scored 32. 843 00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:23,760 His team scored 32 this week. 844 00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:24,760 They might not score 12. 845 00:49:24,760 --> 00:49:26,960 I think the Commandant get 24. 846 00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:32,000 Change to cover, that means the Titans got to be under 18. 847 00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:33,000 I think that's possible. 848 00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:35,000 Actually 18 is fine because that's 6. 849 00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:37,000 No, yeah, that's 6. 850 00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:38,000 So under 19. 851 00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:41,360 I think that's possible. 852 00:49:41,360 --> 00:49:43,160 Highly possible. 853 00:49:43,160 --> 00:49:46,200 So to go through the picks again, Lions minus 11 over the Bears. 854 00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:48,680 Raiders plus 13 and a half over the Chiefs. 855 00:49:48,680 --> 00:49:51,120 Bengals minus 3 over the Steelers. 856 00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:53,360 Texans minus 5 over the Jags. 857 00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:57,120 Commanders minus 5 and a half over the Titans. 858 00:49:57,120 --> 00:50:01,600 But up next, we're going to leave the NFL and shift into the NBA and talk about what's 859 00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:22,880 going down with the Association. 860 00:50:22,880 --> 00:50:27,360 Welcome back to the show. 861 00:50:27,360 --> 00:50:33,160 And now we're going to talk about what's happening in the Explosive Association right now, the 862 00:50:33,160 --> 00:50:34,160 NBA. 863 00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:38,800 We've got players going off, media members tripping, teams exploding, players going to 864 00:50:38,800 --> 00:50:39,800 get 50 pieces. 865 00:50:39,800 --> 00:50:41,880 Stuff's happening all over the place. 866 00:50:41,880 --> 00:50:42,880 Let's get into it. 867 00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:45,320 So let's start off with the explosions with Fred Van Vliet. 868 00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:50,760 If you guys haven't seen his explosive tirade on the way off the floor, including calling 869 00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:57,680 the referee a female dog, has been widely shown. 870 00:50:57,680 --> 00:51:02,760 Fred Van Vliet was then fined $50,000 for this outburst. 871 00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:06,960 Now he's going to make about $45 million this year. 872 00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:08,560 Cash flow wise, probably an endorsement. 873 00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:13,280 It's going to make over 30 for sure. 874 00:51:13,280 --> 00:51:19,000 So it is not necessarily hurting his pockets, but he was fined $50,000 and 50 grand for 875 00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:23,160 his post-game remarks to the official after he was ejected. 876 00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:25,760 Can't have that kind of stuff in the NBA. 877 00:51:25,760 --> 00:51:27,840 It's just, it is what it is. 878 00:51:27,840 --> 00:51:28,840 One of those situations. 879 00:51:28,840 --> 00:51:34,520 While he may feel that way, that's something you can't yell at him on the courts. 880 00:51:34,520 --> 00:51:40,480 Remember Kelly Oubre's epic tirade after he was, I don't think he was ejected. 881 00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:42,560 I think it was just a bad foul call. 882 00:51:42,560 --> 00:51:47,240 He called the whole crew the same word, female dogs, and then they went to their family members. 883 00:51:47,240 --> 00:51:49,200 It was insane, right? 884 00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:52,320 All time rant by Kelly Oubre on that one. 885 00:51:52,320 --> 00:51:58,640 But Fred Van Vliet, again, fined $50,000 for his comments. 886 00:51:58,640 --> 00:52:05,880 Speaking of fines, the Atlanta Hawks received a $100,000 fine for violating the player participation 887 00:52:05,880 --> 00:52:12,520 policy of the NBA surrounding Trey Young not playing in an NBA Cup game versus the 888 00:52:12,520 --> 00:52:17,920 Boston Celtics, which after an independent investigation was conducted, it was shown 889 00:52:17,920 --> 00:52:26,080 that Young could have played based on the player policy, which resulted in the fine. 890 00:52:26,080 --> 00:52:31,320 The player participation policy is basically the anti-rest rule or anti-load management 891 00:52:31,320 --> 00:52:34,800 rule, except they left a lot of exceptions. 892 00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:40,560 So like for instance, Joe LMB can load manage all he wants this year, same way with Kawhi. 893 00:52:40,560 --> 00:52:44,200 Because they came into the year, they had a serious injury the year before, came into 894 00:52:44,200 --> 00:52:45,200 the year injured. 895 00:52:45,200 --> 00:52:49,600 They don't have to follow the participation rules. 896 00:52:49,600 --> 00:52:55,560 It stops stuff like San Antonio used to do the old thing where it was like, oh, pop would 897 00:52:55,560 --> 00:52:56,960 get pissed off at the NBA. 898 00:52:56,960 --> 00:53:01,840 Okay, so a national televised game, and they were the ones either, it wasn't killing them, 899 00:53:01,840 --> 00:53:08,720 but the national televised game against Oklahoma City, Duncan, Janobly, Parker, who at Aldrich, 900 00:53:08,720 --> 00:53:13,520 all not going to play, and like all the things that old, and pop just laughs. 901 00:53:13,520 --> 00:53:15,760 And it was just like, yep, you're not going to play tonight. 902 00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:19,840 So your national TV TNT showcase game where you're going to have everybody watch, it's 903 00:53:19,840 --> 00:53:21,600 going to have no spurs in it. 904 00:53:21,600 --> 00:53:22,600 Congratulations. 905 00:53:22,600 --> 00:53:30,060 Like it was just, it sort of, it stops that in the spirit of true load management. 906 00:53:30,060 --> 00:53:34,000 It doesn't stop anything because of the many exceptions in the rule. 907 00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:39,200 But ultimately the Hawks were fined a hundred grand for this. 908 00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:43,960 Speaking of injuries, stars are coming back from injury. 909 00:53:43,960 --> 00:53:49,580 The Durant and Beale combination of the Phoenix Suns will return tonight. 910 00:53:49,580 --> 00:53:54,080 So they are on the floor, expected to return tonight versus the Los Angeles Lakers. 911 00:53:54,080 --> 00:53:56,360 So big, big situation for them. 912 00:53:56,360 --> 00:53:58,960 And I believe it is NBA Cup night. 913 00:53:58,960 --> 00:54:05,880 So that is huge for the Suns, not only in a regular season, but again, for the NBA Cup. 914 00:54:05,880 --> 00:54:08,680 Yes, it is NBA Cup night. 915 00:54:08,680 --> 00:54:10,280 So they are expected to be back. 916 00:54:10,280 --> 00:54:15,000 The Suns are I think like one in something since Kevin Durant went down one in six, I 917 00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:18,360 believe since Kevin Durant went down eight and one with him. 918 00:54:18,360 --> 00:54:22,080 So huge for the Phoenix Suns. 919 00:54:22,080 --> 00:54:30,400 Ja Morant came back explosively last night after missing eight games due to a hip injury. 920 00:54:30,400 --> 00:54:35,320 He explosively returned last night. 921 00:54:35,320 --> 00:54:45,200 And Lonzo Ball is expected to return tomorrow night following, because he's been out with 922 00:54:45,200 --> 00:54:46,540 a wrist injury. 923 00:54:46,540 --> 00:54:53,000 So he, you know, he of course he was out for years with the knee problem. 924 00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:57,920 But he is expected to return for the Chicago Bulls on tomorrow. 925 00:54:57,920 --> 00:54:58,920 So that'll help the Bulls out. 926 00:54:58,920 --> 00:55:03,280 You know, they're going through their own turmoil because the Chicago Bulls reportedly 927 00:55:03,280 --> 00:55:07,240 are ready to start moving some of this roster. 928 00:55:07,240 --> 00:55:12,280 This roster has under achieved to be kind. 929 00:55:12,280 --> 00:55:18,720 And now it appears that the Bulls are ready to say, okay, we've we've tried. 930 00:55:18,720 --> 00:55:19,880 We really did. 931 00:55:19,880 --> 00:55:23,040 But it's time to move on. 932 00:55:23,040 --> 00:55:34,320 And so they are reportedly interested in dealing Nikola Vucevic and they are reportedly dealing 933 00:55:34,320 --> 00:55:37,400 they were interested in dealing Zach Levine. 934 00:55:37,400 --> 00:55:39,880 Two players that should return a fair amount of market. 935 00:55:39,880 --> 00:55:43,920 Especially if you look at like Levine to the Lakers, you know, they could use another score 936 00:55:43,920 --> 00:55:45,800 or Vucevic to the Lakers. 937 00:55:45,800 --> 00:55:50,120 So got kind of got to protect Anthony Davis, Vucevic to New Orleans contractually. 938 00:55:50,120 --> 00:55:56,460 You have to move a couple of the ancillary pieces, but Vucevic to New Orleans could be 939 00:55:56,460 --> 00:55:59,640 something as well. 940 00:55:59,640 --> 00:56:01,600 Trying to think where Levine could go. 941 00:56:01,600 --> 00:56:02,960 He's injury prone with his knee. 942 00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:06,300 So his value is on his contract is large. 943 00:56:06,300 --> 00:56:11,680 So that could be a hindrance to moving a Zach Levine, which is why Damar DeRozan was able 944 00:56:11,680 --> 00:56:14,240 to land in Sacramento. 945 00:56:14,240 --> 00:56:17,400 So instead of a Levine being moved. 946 00:56:17,400 --> 00:56:20,440 But Chicago's pretty born to move on. 947 00:56:20,440 --> 00:56:22,240 It is what it is at this point. 948 00:56:22,240 --> 00:56:25,200 Grant Williams has suffered a torn ACL. 949 00:56:25,200 --> 00:56:27,200 His season is over. 950 00:56:27,200 --> 00:56:31,240 Unfortunate for him and that Hornets team as he was kind of carving out a pretty decent 951 00:56:31,240 --> 00:56:36,840 role in Charlotte after being moved to Dallas, that just didn't work. 952 00:56:36,840 --> 00:56:39,480 He was actually carving out a pretty decent role in Charlotte. 953 00:56:39,480 --> 00:56:41,960 But now his season is over. 954 00:56:41,960 --> 00:56:44,080 Okay, now we're do with that. 955 00:56:44,080 --> 00:56:45,080 Let's get to the Pelicans. 956 00:56:45,080 --> 00:56:46,080 Actually, no, I'm gonna say the Pelicans. 957 00:56:46,080 --> 00:56:51,240 I'm gonna say the Pelicans because I don't know how long I'm gonna go on that. 958 00:56:51,240 --> 00:56:52,960 There's been some big, big scoring outbursts. 959 00:56:52,960 --> 00:56:56,880 You see the Mellow ball feel like he's exploding every other day. 960 00:56:56,880 --> 00:57:03,120 Every other game with big, big outbursts, 30, 40 point moments, including innings. 961 00:57:03,120 --> 00:57:06,560 I mean, he's playing Chino Hills basketball in the NBA. 962 00:57:06,560 --> 00:57:08,960 It's actually pretty wild to see. 963 00:57:08,960 --> 00:57:11,760 We all remember the little short, you know, they had some 5'11". 964 00:57:11,760 --> 00:57:18,680 The dude was like 5'6 in eighth grade playing on that team on Lonzo's undefeated team. 965 00:57:18,680 --> 00:57:23,680 Lonzo's senior year, then he was a little 5'11", 5'10 skinny kid who scored 92. 966 00:57:23,680 --> 00:57:29,520 Then he went to Australia and came back, you know, played that year at that post-graduate 967 00:57:29,520 --> 00:57:33,000 school or whatever academy that was in Illinois. 968 00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:37,600 And then he just got like fade into the ether because he was in Charlotte. 969 00:57:37,600 --> 00:57:39,600 And now he is healthy and ready to go. 970 00:57:39,600 --> 00:57:44,160 And he looks like the guy that we saw, Chino Hills, the kid that we saw could get a bucket 971 00:57:44,160 --> 00:57:48,080 anytime, anywhere with a pretty wild and loose style. 972 00:57:48,080 --> 00:57:49,160 He just played all over the place. 973 00:57:49,160 --> 00:57:52,160 So good for Mellow. 974 00:57:52,160 --> 00:57:56,160 You know, it's good for him in the NBA. 975 00:57:56,160 --> 00:58:03,160 Giannis, man, Giannis has decided by the week and a half, two weeks ago, we're just not 976 00:58:03,160 --> 00:58:04,840 going to lose anymore. 977 00:58:04,840 --> 00:58:06,360 I don't care who comes with me. 978 00:58:06,360 --> 00:58:08,160 We're not going to lose anymore. 979 00:58:08,160 --> 00:58:09,280 And that's what you need. 980 00:58:09,280 --> 00:58:17,960 I think that we all know Doc Rivers coaching leaves a lot to be desired. 981 00:58:17,960 --> 00:58:22,080 And so you need guys that just go, screw it, bro. 982 00:58:22,080 --> 00:58:24,280 We're not losing no more. 983 00:58:24,280 --> 00:58:26,640 And that was the attitude I think Giannis took. 984 00:58:26,640 --> 00:58:27,640 Screw it. 985 00:58:27,640 --> 00:58:28,640 We're not, we're not losing anymore. 986 00:58:28,640 --> 00:58:34,240 He's had enormous explosions since 14, 14, 17. 987 00:58:34,240 --> 00:58:37,280 They came up for a 50 piece rather recently. 988 00:58:37,280 --> 00:58:42,280 He's one of the best mid range shooters in the NBA, which if he said that about Giannis, 989 00:58:42,280 --> 00:58:44,120 hell six months ago, people would laugh at you. 990 00:58:44,120 --> 00:58:46,120 Hell three months ago, people would laugh at you. 991 00:58:46,120 --> 00:58:48,800 Giannis mid range, yeah, whatever. 992 00:58:48,800 --> 00:58:52,080 Like, and it's just, he's just refusing to lose. 993 00:58:52,080 --> 00:58:53,640 Now, Dame's joining the party. 994 00:58:53,640 --> 00:58:56,520 They're starting to get some of their pieces back as far as their rotation guys. 995 00:58:56,520 --> 00:59:00,320 Like this is a situation where the Bucs may actually mess around. 996 00:59:00,320 --> 00:59:01,960 They're the third in the East now. 997 00:59:01,960 --> 00:59:07,920 They may mess around and turn this season around and save what looked like an abject 998 00:59:07,920 --> 00:59:11,800 disaster at the start of the season. 999 00:59:11,800 --> 00:59:14,360 Dalton Connect, he exploded. 1000 00:59:14,360 --> 00:59:18,240 I think he has the, no, I think, no, he has more points than Jared McCain did. 1001 00:59:18,240 --> 00:59:21,320 He think he has the highest single scoring game for a rookie this season. 1002 00:59:21,320 --> 00:59:22,720 His efficiency is going to do the roof. 1003 00:59:22,720 --> 00:59:28,800 I actually in the building, his first or second mini explosion when they were in New Orleans, 1004 00:59:28,800 --> 00:59:34,360 I went to the game and it was like every time from the, if you're coming down the court 1005 00:59:34,360 --> 00:59:39,320 left corner, Dalton Connect, Connect four, boom, Connect four, boom, Connect four, boom. 1006 00:59:39,320 --> 00:59:44,360 It was like every time he went to that left corner, he was finding a home there and he's 1007 00:59:44,360 --> 00:59:45,360 unconscious. 1008 00:59:45,360 --> 00:59:49,760 Like he's a kid that when he gets to rolling, he's unconscious. 1009 00:59:49,760 --> 00:59:53,240 There's nothing like defense doesn't matter. 1010 00:59:53,240 --> 00:59:54,240 Shot selection doesn't matter. 1011 00:59:54,240 --> 00:59:56,000 Spot on the floor doesn't matter. 1012 00:59:56,000 --> 00:59:59,720 When he hits one or two in a row and you can just see like he's almost like he gets antsy, 1013 00:59:59,720 --> 01:00:00,720 like give it back to me. 1014 01:00:00,720 --> 01:00:01,720 I can get it up again. 1015 01:00:01,720 --> 01:00:02,720 Boom. 1016 01:00:02,720 --> 01:00:09,160 And kind of seeing it, you see it on TV, a guy, you guys are like five Connect, five 1017 01:00:09,160 --> 01:00:14,000 Connect, but like in person, he really like it almost like he started shaking when he 1018 01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:15,600 hit them two back to back. 1019 01:00:15,600 --> 01:00:16,600 Like I'm hot. 1020 01:00:16,600 --> 01:00:19,920 Like you gotta give it back to me. 1021 01:00:19,920 --> 01:00:20,920 So kudos to him. 1022 01:00:20,920 --> 01:00:24,120 And then Wimby, Wimby A, Wimby's clicking. 1023 01:00:24,120 --> 01:00:27,800 He had that couple of weeks where he's one of the league's best three point shooters. 1024 01:00:27,800 --> 01:00:30,280 Now he's starting to dribble, drive and get to the rim. 1025 01:00:30,280 --> 01:00:32,480 The step back three is starting to fall. 1026 01:00:32,480 --> 01:00:33,680 Wimby's clicking. 1027 01:00:33,680 --> 01:00:37,440 I told people Chris Paul was going to be huge for him. 1028 01:00:37,440 --> 01:00:38,760 Just eight points a game. 1029 01:00:38,760 --> 01:00:43,280 He was going to add off a lob or Wimby's going to slice cut and Chris Paul's going to, you 1030 01:00:43,280 --> 01:00:45,080 know, direct traffic and get it to him. 1031 01:00:45,080 --> 01:00:51,040 And I said, if he goes from, I think he was 19 in the night or something like that. 1032 01:00:51,040 --> 01:00:59,280 And I, and I just threw out very basic numbers of what I'm like, man, if he ever gets to, 1033 01:00:59,280 --> 01:01:03,080 if he adds eight points a game, he's everything the same. 1034 01:01:03,080 --> 01:01:05,280 He's league MVP. 1035 01:01:05,280 --> 01:01:09,800 And so Ricky's rookie year, he was 21, 10 and four. 1036 01:01:09,800 --> 01:01:12,760 This year he's 22, 10 and three. 1037 01:01:12,760 --> 01:01:17,080 So his number is actually a little down because he's a little, he's about the same efficiency. 1038 01:01:17,080 --> 01:01:19,400 His minutes per game has gone up, but it's early. 1039 01:01:19,400 --> 01:01:24,240 I ultimately think he'll end up 26, 10 and three. 1040 01:01:24,240 --> 01:01:30,160 Not MVP, easily an all star, easily an all star, not MVP, easily an all star. 1041 01:01:30,160 --> 01:01:34,000 And he'll be a guy that has a candidacy for all the NBA. 1042 01:01:34,000 --> 01:01:39,680 Like, and that's going to be huge for him to his development. 1043 01:01:39,680 --> 01:01:42,480 But anyway, the main one, I want to talk about the NBA. 1044 01:01:42,480 --> 01:01:44,280 It's a little early to do standing, et cetera, et cetera. 1045 01:01:44,280 --> 01:01:51,000 But the main reason I want to talk about the NBA is the new Orleans Pelicans, my new Orleans 1046 01:01:51,000 --> 01:01:52,160 Pelicans. 1047 01:01:52,160 --> 01:01:55,280 Let's talk about it. 1048 01:01:55,280 --> 01:01:57,360 So Pelicans, Jamal left and right. 1049 01:01:57,360 --> 01:02:05,080 So Braden and Graham and Zion Williamson within days of each other are no longer with their 1050 01:02:05,080 --> 01:02:06,080 agencies. 1051 01:02:06,080 --> 01:02:12,460 Um, you know, that was a mix of reasons why one reason was saying that both agencies want 1052 01:02:12,460 --> 01:02:16,240 to let them out of New Orleans and both players said no pretty much and we're going to stay 1053 01:02:16,240 --> 01:02:19,320 and got rid of their agencies. 1054 01:02:19,320 --> 01:02:24,640 The Brandon and Ingram agency situation stems to, uh, not getting the deal done with New 1055 01:02:24,640 --> 01:02:26,560 Orleans. 1056 01:02:26,560 --> 01:02:28,000 And so he got rid of his agencies. 1057 01:02:28,000 --> 01:02:32,240 Zion Williamson's case, potentially that was something that there was reports that were 1058 01:02:32,240 --> 01:02:37,040 saying that, oh, because he wanted out and they were saying stay or he was saying stay 1059 01:02:37,040 --> 01:02:38,880 and they were saying out. 1060 01:02:38,880 --> 01:02:43,440 But regardless, both Pelican stars have split from their agencies. 1061 01:02:43,440 --> 01:02:46,280 Like I said, within days of each other. 1062 01:02:46,280 --> 01:02:49,480 That's not a coincidence. 1063 01:02:49,480 --> 01:02:53,720 Um, and it adds a whole nother thing. 1064 01:02:53,720 --> 01:02:57,840 And then I don't like to call people stupid. 1065 01:02:57,840 --> 01:02:58,840 So I'm not going to call them stupid. 1066 01:02:58,840 --> 01:03:00,480 I'm going to say what he said was stupid. 1067 01:03:00,480 --> 01:03:03,720 Tim McMahon said something very, very stupid on ESPN. 1068 01:03:03,720 --> 01:03:08,640 He said, and I quote, the New Orleans Pelicans should look in the cuttings of Ion Williamson. 1069 01:03:08,640 --> 01:03:10,320 The contract was meant to be cut. 1070 01:03:10,320 --> 01:03:16,600 And I'm paraphrasing piecing together Tim McMahon, dude, I listen to you every week. 1071 01:03:16,600 --> 01:03:18,560 You're one of the reasons I listen to the hook collective. 1072 01:03:18,560 --> 01:03:22,480 If it's not Windhorse, McMahon and Bond temps, probably not listening. 1073 01:03:22,480 --> 01:03:24,400 I'll do Marc J Spears. 1074 01:03:24,400 --> 01:03:27,480 I'll do Ohm if the Clippers are really good. 1075 01:03:27,480 --> 01:03:34,240 Um, and of course, Holly roll, you know, and then of course, uh, where I'm on a shell 1076 01:03:34,240 --> 01:03:35,240 burn. 1077 01:03:35,240 --> 01:03:42,360 But I mainly listen when there's bond temps, McMahon and Wendy. 1078 01:03:42,360 --> 01:03:43,720 That's like, that's the group. 1079 01:03:43,720 --> 01:03:49,060 And I love hearing a McMahon speak. 1080 01:03:49,060 --> 01:03:50,660 This was stupid. 1081 01:03:50,660 --> 01:03:51,660 This was really stupid. 1082 01:03:51,660 --> 01:03:56,400 And his reason was like, giant Williamson's all IAS. 1083 01:03:56,400 --> 01:03:57,400 It's always something. 1084 01:03:57,400 --> 01:03:58,400 I agree. 1085 01:03:58,400 --> 01:04:04,000 It feels like it's always a report or it's always an injury or during the injury, the 1086 01:04:04,000 --> 01:04:06,640 rehab slow three halves fast rehab on time. 1087 01:04:06,640 --> 01:04:07,640 He wants to be in New York. 1088 01:04:07,640 --> 01:04:08,960 You always want to be a Nick. 1089 01:04:08,960 --> 01:04:09,960 Maybe not really. 1090 01:04:09,960 --> 01:04:10,960 His agent wants him gone. 1091 01:04:10,960 --> 01:04:16,480 Like it is always feels like a story or a break or an upkeep or something with Zion 1092 01:04:16,480 --> 01:04:17,560 Williamson. 1093 01:04:17,560 --> 01:04:23,600 But releasing a guy that when he is healthy is a perennial all star level player. 1094 01:04:23,600 --> 01:04:31,240 Releasing a guy that when he is healthy is someone that just this season was 22, eight 1095 01:04:31,240 --> 01:04:33,280 and five. 1096 01:04:33,280 --> 01:04:37,400 Last season was 23, five and five. 1097 01:04:37,400 --> 01:04:41,560 The year before that was 26, seven and five. 1098 01:04:41,560 --> 01:04:43,120 Like I get it. 1099 01:04:43,120 --> 01:04:48,880 And you look at the games played and you see 24 and you see, you see 61, not bad, not great, 1100 01:04:48,880 --> 01:04:50,560 but you see 61 that year. 1101 01:04:50,560 --> 01:04:53,660 He was 20, 27, seven and four. 1102 01:04:53,660 --> 01:04:55,960 The next year is 29. 1103 01:04:55,960 --> 01:04:59,120 The next year it's 70 on 31 and a half a night. 1104 01:04:59,120 --> 01:05:03,080 And he had an odd hamstring injury. 1105 01:05:03,080 --> 01:05:06,920 That kind of came out of nowhere and that he was the lightest he'd ever been. 1106 01:05:06,920 --> 01:05:10,560 And it was just a freaking hamstring injury that happens to people. 1107 01:05:10,560 --> 01:05:13,320 Now conflicting reports on that situation. 1108 01:05:13,320 --> 01:05:18,560 Shamshraaya is saying, Oh, the Pelicans had four to six weeks or the report was four to 1109 01:05:18,560 --> 01:05:19,560 six weeks. 1110 01:05:19,560 --> 01:05:20,560 He's getting injections. 1111 01:05:20,560 --> 01:05:24,800 People on the TV was like, well, if he's getting injections, he's a lot further off 1112 01:05:24,800 --> 01:05:25,800 than four to six weeks. 1113 01:05:25,800 --> 01:05:28,320 Cause every time you get an injection, it resets your clock. 1114 01:05:28,320 --> 01:05:32,400 So if he's had three injections, it keeps resetting that four to six weeks. 1115 01:05:32,400 --> 01:05:35,440 So he's four to six weeks from the last injection. 1116 01:05:35,440 --> 01:05:41,000 Then people on the Pelican side are going, well, who told him four to six weeks? 1117 01:05:41,000 --> 01:05:45,360 So now you got a guy like Zion looking bad for not sticking to a timeline that wasn't 1118 01:05:45,360 --> 01:05:48,760 a timeline the team publicly put out because the team put out that it was going to be an 1119 01:05:48,760 --> 01:05:49,760 extended time. 1120 01:05:49,760 --> 01:05:50,760 He was going to be out indefinitely. 1121 01:05:50,760 --> 01:05:52,440 That was what the team put out. 1122 01:05:52,440 --> 01:05:56,080 Then Shams reported four to six weeks, but potentially longer. 1123 01:05:56,080 --> 01:06:00,440 Then about a week ago, a few days ago, he goes, Oh, the Pelican has a prayer for Zion 1124 01:06:00,440 --> 01:06:02,680 to be out an extended period of time. 1125 01:06:02,680 --> 01:06:06,200 That was always the original message from the team was that he's out indefinitely with 1126 01:06:06,200 --> 01:06:09,080 this hamstring injury. 1127 01:06:09,080 --> 01:06:15,440 Like the national media and they, and they do this, they crap on little small markets. 1128 01:06:15,440 --> 01:06:16,720 They do it with the saints. 1129 01:06:16,720 --> 01:06:19,680 The saints are in no worse position than the jets and the giants. 1130 01:06:19,680 --> 01:06:23,840 And yet you would imagine the saints should tear that thing down the brass hacks. 1131 01:06:23,840 --> 01:06:26,800 And yet if the judge just get a one player, they could be really good. 1132 01:06:26,800 --> 01:06:28,680 They're in the same spot. 1133 01:06:28,680 --> 01:06:35,800 Um, you know, Orleans is in a very similar spot of Memphis cause John Moran is missing 1134 01:06:35,800 --> 01:06:39,960 a lot of games for either basketball or non basketball related reasons. 1135 01:06:39,960 --> 01:06:42,880 And yet people say, Jack, I get that together, but the Memphis can really good. 1136 01:06:42,880 --> 01:06:45,880 They're not saying what was in New York. 1137 01:06:45,880 --> 01:06:48,480 Like it's just so stupid. 1138 01:06:48,480 --> 01:06:49,920 It's dumb. 1139 01:06:49,920 --> 01:06:53,760 And I just don't like the way that the Pelicans are being covered. 1140 01:06:53,760 --> 01:06:54,760 Yes. 1141 01:06:54,760 --> 01:06:56,680 Could Willie greens rotations be a little bit better? 1142 01:06:56,680 --> 01:07:02,280 Yes. could the season be teetering on the verge of lost already before Thanksgiving 1143 01:07:02,280 --> 01:07:07,920 potentially, but when you put that roster together, Zion comes back healthy. 1144 01:07:07,920 --> 01:07:10,200 They can make a run a sneaky to the play in. 1145 01:07:10,200 --> 01:07:13,960 If that team gets them to play in, I feel bad for whoever's in that play in spot with 1146 01:07:13,960 --> 01:07:17,480 them because they're going to be held back. 1147 01:07:17,480 --> 01:07:20,560 But ultimately that's just going down with the association. 1148 01:07:20,560 --> 01:07:27,560 Up next, we're going to shift to our college football to mini drill. 1149 01:07:50,560 --> 01:08:04,280 Welcome back into the show. 1150 01:08:04,280 --> 01:08:14,240 And now we are going to investigate and have of course the college football to mini drill. 1151 01:08:14,240 --> 01:08:17,160 You know how this guy's words two minutes on the clock. 1152 01:08:17,160 --> 01:08:21,080 We get as much comfortable information in as possible in the two minutes. 1153 01:08:21,080 --> 01:08:29,120 So timer has been set, ready and go. 1154 01:08:29,120 --> 01:08:30,640 Colorado had control of their own destiny. 1155 01:08:30,640 --> 01:08:35,240 University of Colorado, Colorado university led by Deion Sanders had control of their 1156 01:08:35,240 --> 01:08:36,240 own destiny. 1157 01:08:36,240 --> 01:08:42,920 However, they blew it getting smashed literally by Kansas physically smashed by Kansas who 1158 01:08:42,920 --> 01:08:48,040 played a very physical game and all, all but ended Colorado's playoff hopes. 1159 01:08:48,040 --> 01:08:49,960 Now Colorado has a path in. 1160 01:08:49,960 --> 01:08:55,120 They need to win a BYU loss and as somebody else lost, they can get in the big 12 title 1161 01:08:55,120 --> 01:08:59,120 game, win the big 12 title game and they're in the casual playoff anyway. 1162 01:08:59,120 --> 01:09:03,080 Although Deion Sanders has said that Travis Hunter and Shadour Sanders both will play 1163 01:09:03,080 --> 01:09:04,080 in the bowl game. 1164 01:09:04,080 --> 01:09:09,960 So big news for, um, cause football fans in general, as you will see them at some point 1165 01:09:09,960 --> 01:09:13,800 in a standalone game and in Colorado uniform. 1166 01:09:13,800 --> 01:09:19,480 The 12 team playoff has been a blessing and a curse because now you're discussing how 1167 01:09:19,480 --> 01:09:21,600 many teams he's conference gets him. 1168 01:09:21,600 --> 01:09:26,240 You're discussing, wait, why does that three team sec three loss sec team get in when that 1169 01:09:26,240 --> 01:09:29,040 one lost big 10 teams being told they're out. 1170 01:09:29,040 --> 01:09:31,720 Like you can all these different narratives going across the country. 1171 01:09:31,720 --> 01:09:36,800 It's going to be incredibly interesting to see me personally put three sec schools in, 1172 01:09:36,800 --> 01:09:42,000 put three big 10 schools in, group of five champion is in probably looks like it's like 1173 01:09:42,000 --> 01:09:44,360 Tulane right now. 1174 01:09:44,360 --> 01:09:49,960 Group five champion gets in, put in two sec schools, two three big 12 schools play it 1175 01:09:49,960 --> 01:09:52,840 out because I mean that's also what you need in my opinion. 1176 01:09:52,840 --> 01:09:57,320 You need it to where it's fairly balanced and we see who comes out on top and we'll 1177 01:09:57,320 --> 01:09:58,320 see how that goes. 1178 01:09:58,320 --> 01:10:01,160 But it has been a massive controversy throughout the entire thing. 1179 01:10:01,160 --> 01:10:05,460 Of course the Heisman trophy has come down to two people, Travis Hunter or it is Ash 1180 01:10:05,460 --> 01:10:06,460 and Denty. 1181 01:10:06,460 --> 01:10:08,600 If you're not a contest, it's easily Travis Hunter. 1182 01:10:08,600 --> 01:10:12,920 For some reason, I don't know how being really, really good at one position is somehow 1183 01:10:12,920 --> 01:10:16,560 better than being really, really good at two positions, but whatever. 1184 01:10:16,560 --> 01:10:18,940 Mac Brown has been fired by the University of North Carolina. 1185 01:10:18,940 --> 01:10:21,160 He will not return after this last game. 1186 01:10:21,160 --> 01:10:25,040 Even though he publicly said that he wanted to get in and the recruiting wars have been 1187 01:10:25,040 --> 01:10:28,200 brutal as Michigan flipped the number one player through NIL and more is continuing 1188 01:10:28,200 --> 01:10:29,200 to happen. 1189 01:10:29,200 --> 01:10:33,160 Oh, the two minute timer has gone off. 1190 01:10:33,160 --> 01:10:38,280 Spent way too much time on Colorado in the playoff there, but it happens. 1191 01:10:38,280 --> 01:10:40,200 But that is all I have for the day. 1192 01:10:40,200 --> 01:10:43,680 It's one of our longer shows you've had in a while. 1193 01:10:43,680 --> 01:10:47,400 For those of you who are new and stuck with it all the way through, welcome into the Justin 1194 01:10:47,400 --> 01:10:49,200 Tomspoor's family. 1195 01:10:49,200 --> 01:10:52,120 Usually we're not this long winded. 1196 01:10:52,120 --> 01:10:56,720 Usually about 45 minutes, 50 minutes, however, missing last week definitely put more emphasis 1197 01:10:56,720 --> 01:10:57,720 on this one. 1198 01:10:57,720 --> 01:11:04,120 Of course, a lot of NBA stuff went down over the past week or so. 1199 01:11:04,120
