00:02:41,340 --> 00:02:45,340 On the season 5 finale of the audio show of this show 39 00:02:45,340 --> 00:02:50,340 About the exciting things we're gonna have including guest appearances 40 00:02:50,340 --> 00:02:55,340 We're gonna have more creative stuff happening, some different segments 41 00:02:55,340 --> 00:03:01,340 All kind of stuff, a lot of that stuff will get kicked off after football season 42 00:03:01,340 --> 00:03:05,340 Of course we are a very football dominated show, during football season 43 00:03:05,340 --> 00:03:09,340 Basketball is roaring, shout out my guys Zion Williamson being back last night 44 00:03:09,340 --> 00:03:14,340 For my Pelicans and then my guy LeBron with one of the dunks of the year 45 00:03:14,340 --> 00:03:17,340 He's definitely gonna be a dunk of the year candidate 46 00:03:17,340 --> 00:03:24,340 Posterizing Derrick Lively who was not born when LeBron James entered the NBA 47 00:03:24,340 --> 00:03:28,340 So yeah, mind blown there 48 00:03:28,340 --> 00:03:34,340 But absolutely a lot of fun stuff playing for you guys in season 6 49 00:03:34,340 --> 00:03:40,340 I'm so happy you guys have made this show a part of your weekly sports watching repertoire 50 00:03:40,340 --> 00:03:44,340 And my phone is blowing up which means something is happening 51 00:03:44,340 --> 00:03:49,340 So let me try and figure out what's going on there 52 00:03:49,340 --> 00:03:55,340 Whole lot of nothing, typical guy, just his group message 53 00:03:55,340 --> 00:04:02,340 There's some stuff that could be happening in far as the Lakers-Hornets game for tonight 54 00:04:02,340 --> 00:04:06,340 I'm recording this Wednesday evening, you guys hear this Thursday morning 55 00:04:06,340 --> 00:04:10,340 There's wildfires going on in the LA area 56 00:04:10,340 --> 00:04:16,340 And it's just the NBA saying we're in communication with both teams about postponements or delays 57 00:04:16,340 --> 00:04:24,340 Or whatever could be going on due to those wildfires, pretty crazy situation in LA right now 58 00:04:24,340 --> 00:04:30,340 But the NBA is in constant communication, my apologies I like the audio sound weird, I muted myself 59 00:04:30,340 --> 00:04:34,340 So I had to do a little quick editing, new microphone still learning it out 60 00:04:34,340 --> 00:04:38,340 Had to do some quick editing to get that situated and straight 61 00:04:38,340 --> 00:04:43,340 But again, pretty wild situation happening in LA with those wildfires 62 00:04:43,340 --> 00:04:49,340 But anyway, that is about all the basketball you can expect from this show 63 00:04:49,340 --> 00:04:53,340 Nothing personal, I enjoy basketball, I actually love the game of basketball 64 00:04:53,340 --> 00:04:59,340 I'm a huge Pelicans fan, I love LeBron and his game, I'm a huge basketball fan 65 00:04:59,340 --> 00:05:01,340 That's all the basketball you're going to get from today's show 66 00:05:01,340 --> 00:05:04,340 So if you're looking for basketball, thanks for tuning in 67 00:05:04,340 --> 00:05:08,340 But let's get into business 68 00:05:08,340 --> 00:05:15,340 So the NFL Wild Card weekend is here, we have made it, football fans, we have made it all the way through 69 00:05:15,340 --> 00:05:20,340 We have made it to Wild Card weekend and the final bracket is out 70 00:05:20,340 --> 00:05:24,340 So in the AFC, you start with the Chiefs at the 1C, they're off 71 00:05:24,340 --> 00:05:29,340 They took week 18 off as well, interesting strategy 72 00:05:29,340 --> 00:05:34,340 I believe I probably would have played my guys if I was in that situation 73 00:05:34,340 --> 00:05:37,340 I probably would have played my guys at least a quarter 74 00:05:37,340 --> 00:05:40,340 Because I knew for a fact I had the buy 75 00:05:40,340 --> 00:05:44,340 Or a drive maybe, starters player drive on offense, starters player drive on defense 76 00:05:44,340 --> 00:05:46,340 Now that runs the risk of two things 77 00:05:46,340 --> 00:05:50,340 Number one, you end up having to probably deactivate somebody or cut somebody 78 00:05:50,340 --> 00:05:54,340 To make sure a third quarterback is available 79 00:05:54,340 --> 00:05:59,340 Because technically my homes couldn't all of a sudden be your emergency quarterback 80 00:05:59,340 --> 00:06:01,340 You know what I'm saying? Number one 81 00:06:01,340 --> 00:06:06,340 Number two, that also brings up the issue of now you don't deactivate Chris Jones, that's our awesome spot 82 00:06:06,340 --> 00:06:10,340 You don't deactivate Isaiah Pacheco, that's our awesome spot 83 00:06:10,340 --> 00:06:14,340 You don't deactivate Travis Kelsey, that's our awesome spot 84 00:06:14,340 --> 00:06:18,340 So that would be the issue there if you were to do the strategy of 85 00:06:18,340 --> 00:06:22,340 Oh we're going to have our seven, eight main guys play a drive and then pull them 86 00:06:22,340 --> 00:06:27,340 You lose seven, eight guys total, that's special teamers, that's rotational players 87 00:06:27,340 --> 00:06:32,340 You know those guys you just don't have anymore because those guys can't all of a sudden be deactivated 88 00:06:32,340 --> 00:06:34,340 And then activate new guys 89 00:06:34,340 --> 00:06:39,340 That'd be a cool system, but unfortunately that's not how it works 90 00:06:39,340 --> 00:06:43,340 So the Chiefs get the 1C, they won't play for 26 days between games 91 00:06:43,340 --> 00:06:46,340 Almost a month of football without football 92 00:06:46,340 --> 00:06:51,340 Without live snaps anyway, that's going to be a hard ass, but we're going to see how that goes 93 00:06:51,340 --> 00:06:57,340 The Buffalo Bills come in as a seven, eight, sorry eight and a half point favorite 94 00:06:57,340 --> 00:07:01,340 At the time of this recording against the Denver Broncos 95 00:07:01,340 --> 00:07:06,340 Advantage, we're going to pick the games against the spread in Jack's Pack 96 00:07:06,340 --> 00:07:09,340 We're going to pick every playoff game, however I'm not going to just say 97 00:07:09,340 --> 00:07:11,340 I'm not going to pick because it's in Jack's Pack, that's dumb 98 00:07:11,340 --> 00:07:16,340 This game has a very good chance of being a barn burner 99 00:07:16,340 --> 00:07:19,340 For the Bills 100 00:07:19,340 --> 00:07:24,340 Now for the Broncos, I don't see the Broncos being able to compete very much in this game 101 00:07:24,340 --> 00:07:28,340 This was a game that I was hoping that the Broncos lost to the Chiefs 102 00:07:28,340 --> 00:07:33,340 Because the Dolphins lost to the Jess, Jess did their part, the Bengals did their part 103 00:07:33,340 --> 00:07:36,340 The problem is the Chiefs played no one 104 00:07:36,340 --> 00:07:39,340 And became the second team all season to get shut out 105 00:07:39,340 --> 00:07:42,340 Behind the Saints who had no one due to injury 106 00:07:42,340 --> 00:07:45,340 And the Chiefs who had no one due to choice 107 00:07:45,340 --> 00:07:51,340 And so the Broncos getting to play off of Bo Nicks and Sean Payton getting to play off of that first year together 108 00:07:51,340 --> 00:07:55,340 I would have much preferred this game to be Joe Burrow going into Orchard Park 109 00:07:55,340 --> 00:08:01,340 This might be a three point game and we see Burrow, Chase, Brown, all the crew one more game 110 00:08:01,340 --> 00:08:04,340 Higgins one more time 111 00:08:04,340 --> 00:08:07,340 Instead we may never see that trio again 112 00:08:07,340 --> 00:08:12,340 We may never see Higgins, Burrow, and Chase take the field ever again as a trio 113 00:08:12,340 --> 00:08:18,340 There was a lot of mismanagement in Cincinnati from the top on down 114 00:08:18,340 --> 00:08:22,340 There were contractual numbers you could have got Chase and Higgins for last year 115 00:08:22,340 --> 00:08:25,340 You could have got Chase for $25 million last year 116 00:08:25,340 --> 00:08:28,340 You could have got Higgins probably for $21 million last year 117 00:08:28,340 --> 00:08:32,340 And you thought both numbers, especially Higgins numbers was high 118 00:08:32,340 --> 00:08:38,340 Now you're looking at Chase maybe at $35 million, Higgins maybe at $31 or $30 million 119 00:08:38,340 --> 00:08:46,340 And it's like, yeah, you could have saved yourself $20 million a year on them 120 00:08:46,340 --> 00:08:52,340 And instead you're going to cost yourself that for basically trying to out think the room 121 00:08:52,340 --> 00:08:56,340 So that's what's going on in Cincinnati, but Bo Nicks and the crew gets in 122 00:08:56,340 --> 00:09:01,340 Now Denver is in a position with Bo Nicks, then he's on a rookie contract 123 00:09:01,340 --> 00:09:04,340 I speak about the same thing with Jayden Daniels with the Commanders 124 00:09:04,340 --> 00:09:07,340 You're in the playoffs as a rookie 125 00:09:07,340 --> 00:09:16,340 So that means you are good-ish at least and the town around you is at least solid because you're in the playoffs 126 00:09:16,340 --> 00:09:20,340 So now this is an opportunity, you still got a young passer-tane, you still got a couple of young pieces 127 00:09:20,340 --> 00:09:25,340 This is an opportunity where if you're the Denver Broncos, you go balls to the wall for the next three years 128 00:09:25,340 --> 00:09:27,340 And you just go for it 129 00:09:27,340 --> 00:09:31,340 You sign top free agents, you should look at T. Higgins 130 00:09:31,340 --> 00:09:37,340 You sign top free agents, you sign defense, you go balls to the wall to try and win it 131 00:09:37,340 --> 00:09:40,340 A la Seattle Seahawks' Arosa Wilson 132 00:09:40,340 --> 00:09:47,340 Because you have a quarterback who's obviously a playoff-level caliber quarterback making peanuts of his value 133 00:09:47,340 --> 00:09:54,340 If Bo Nicks is on the open market, he'd probably end up making, he's probably in that mid-level QB range 134 00:09:54,340 --> 00:09:58,340 Not quite Baker's 33 a year, but I can see him at 22, 23 135 00:09:58,340 --> 00:10:02,340 So by the fact you're getting him for 10, that's $13 million available 136 00:10:02,340 --> 00:10:05,340 And so that is going to be huge for the Denver Broncos 137 00:10:05,340 --> 00:10:10,340 Flip over to the Buffalo Bills, you have one mission and that's to go to Arrowhead Stadium 138 00:10:10,340 --> 00:10:15,340 If you're the Bills, well, your mission if you're the Bills, I'm sorry, is to get to the Superdome in New Orleans 139 00:10:15,340 --> 00:10:20,340 But your main thing is through the AFC is to get to Arrowhead 140 00:10:20,340 --> 00:10:25,340 That, I mean, that's, that you should have a singular focus as the Buffalo Bills 141 00:10:25,340 --> 00:10:28,340 And your only focus should be we're going to get to Arrowhead Stadium 142 00:10:28,340 --> 00:10:30,340 That's all you should care about 143 00:10:30,340 --> 00:10:34,340 That's all anybody inside the building should care about is getting to Arrowhead 144 00:10:34,340 --> 00:10:37,340 Point blank period, we're going to get to Arrowhead 145 00:10:37,340 --> 00:10:42,340 Somehow, someway, we're going to be at Arrowhead and the first step is beating the Broncos 146 00:10:42,340 --> 00:10:48,340 Josh Allen, to me, well, we're going to talk about that in a few minutes, but Josh Allen's in the MVP race, right? 147 00:10:48,340 --> 00:10:52,340 He's top two now, I'll get into more detail in a few minutes 148 00:10:52,340 --> 00:10:55,340 He's going to be top two in the MVP race, no doubt about it 149 00:10:55,340 --> 00:11:02,340 So I think that this is a game where you're going to get to that level that I think Lamar's at right now 150 00:11:02,340 --> 00:11:06,340 In which case Lamar has these regular seasons, he has all this stuff you've never heard before 151 00:11:06,340 --> 00:11:11,340 He's the first quarterback to do whatever since the history, since Moses wrote tablets 152 00:11:11,340 --> 00:11:18,340 It's all this amazing stuff and then you get to the playoffs and it's a dud 153 00:11:18,340 --> 00:11:21,340 I remember the playoff game where he was booed off the field 154 00:11:21,340 --> 00:11:29,340 Now, it was his rookie year or whatever where the Chargers played seven DBs and just ended the Raven season 155 00:11:29,340 --> 00:11:31,340 He was unceremoniously booed 156 00:11:31,340 --> 00:11:37,340 I remember the playoff game where he played Derrick Henry in the Titans and Derrick Henry had more passing touchdowns than he did 157 00:11:37,340 --> 00:11:43,340 So when you get to that point, where I think Josh Allen's right up against it 158 00:11:43,340 --> 00:11:47,340 You're going to be compared to who you are as opposed to what you can do 159 00:11:47,340 --> 00:11:52,340 So we've seen what you can do, now we're going to compare you to that standard and not anybody else's standard 160 00:11:52,340 --> 00:11:55,340 So that's a different place to be in, that's an interesting place to be in for most guys 161 00:11:55,340 --> 00:12:03,340 But that's the place I think, especially if he loses this game, you're going to hear a lot from the Josh Allen crusade 162 00:12:03,340 --> 00:12:08,340 Speaking of Lamar Jackson, his Ravens enter as a 10 point favorite against division rival Steelers 163 00:12:08,340 --> 00:12:12,340 Like I said, we'll get into the betting line of it in a few minutes 164 00:12:12,340 --> 00:12:15,340 However, we were just speaking about Lamar's legacy 165 00:12:15,340 --> 00:12:20,340 He has a legacy of great regular seasons, the first quarterback to do something ever 166 00:12:20,340 --> 00:12:24,340 The first quarterback to do something since Michael Vick, the first to do something since Sammy Ball 167 00:12:24,340 --> 00:12:28,340 The first quarterback to do it since again Moses wrote on the stone tablets 168 00:12:28,340 --> 00:12:36,340 And you get to the playoffs and he's, eh, and not just for his standards, he's, eh, everybody 169 00:12:36,340 --> 00:12:40,340 Like I said, I was just going to go through the games, the boot off the field against the Chargers 170 00:12:40,340 --> 00:12:42,340 And most people dismiss his rookie year, that's fine 171 00:12:42,340 --> 00:12:47,340 The playoff game where Derrick Henry had more passing touchdowns than he did 172 00:12:47,340 --> 00:12:54,340 He's had playoff games where many people in the media, myself included, wondered if snapping him in the ball and running would just be better 173 00:12:54,340 --> 00:12:56,340 He can't have that 174 00:12:56,340 --> 00:13:01,340 He gets the Pittsburgh Steelers, your bloody division rival 175 00:13:01,340 --> 00:13:05,340 This is not like Baltimore and Cleveland have their own sordid history 176 00:13:05,340 --> 00:13:08,340 Especially with the fact that the Cleveland Browns used to be the Baltimore Ravens 177 00:13:08,340 --> 00:13:10,340 The Baltimore Ravens used to be the Cleveland Browns 178 00:13:10,340 --> 00:13:15,340 You know, they got in the famous Mayflower truck video in the middle of the night 179 00:13:15,340 --> 00:13:19,340 The Ravens with the, the Browns that went to Baltimore 180 00:13:19,340 --> 00:13:21,340 And became the Baltimore Ravens 181 00:13:21,340 --> 00:13:23,340 And then the Browns restarted 182 00:13:23,340 --> 00:13:27,340 But the history of the Browns, technically should be with the Ravens 183 00:13:27,340 --> 00:13:29,340 These Browns should be the newest franchise 184 00:13:29,340 --> 00:13:31,340 But when they brought the team back, they brought it back to the Browns 185 00:13:31,340 --> 00:13:34,340 They got all their history back, so on and so forth 186 00:13:34,340 --> 00:13:36,340 So the Ravens became one of the newer franchises 187 00:13:36,340 --> 00:13:41,340 But it really should be the Broncos, the Browns, this version of the Browns 188 00:13:41,340 --> 00:13:48,340 But anyway, um, despite the Ravens and the Browns sordid history, the Ravens and the Bengals 189 00:13:48,340 --> 00:13:51,340 They only have a lot of history there, to be honest with you 190 00:13:51,340 --> 00:13:55,340 Um, the Ravens and the Steelers are the AFC North rival 191 00:13:55,340 --> 00:14:00,340 Um, they are just the most physical, the most decorated, the most put together 192 00:14:00,340 --> 00:14:03,340 They embody the AFC North 193 00:14:05,340 --> 00:14:10,340 More than anybody else could possibly embody the AFC North between those two 194 00:14:10,340 --> 00:14:14,340 So because of which, I don't see this game being a big blowout 195 00:14:14,340 --> 00:14:17,340 Because I don't believe the Pittsburgh Steelers' pride will allow them to do it 196 00:14:17,340 --> 00:14:21,340 Um, Mike Tomlin has too much pride, he has too much, his team has too much pride 197 00:14:21,340 --> 00:14:23,340 They're honestly, they're just too good 198 00:14:23,340 --> 00:14:27,340 Now they're having some issues with their offense 199 00:14:28,340 --> 00:14:31,340 They are definitely having some issues offensively 200 00:14:31,340 --> 00:14:35,340 I'm not sure what that's about, but they age like they're now on the same page 201 00:14:35,340 --> 00:14:37,340 George Pickens seems to be imploding 202 00:14:37,340 --> 00:14:39,340 They age like they're now on the same page offensively 203 00:14:39,340 --> 00:14:41,340 So it looks like they're having some trouble there 204 00:14:41,340 --> 00:14:45,340 But the Baltimore Ravens and the Spitsberr Steelers know each other 205 00:14:45,340 --> 00:14:47,340 It's like in the Bayou Classic 206 00:14:47,340 --> 00:14:51,340 Whenever Southern can be 8 and 2, Gravelin can be 2 and 8 207 00:14:51,340 --> 00:14:55,340 You toss the game out because it's like, nope, nope, it's these two, who cares? 208 00:14:55,340 --> 00:15:01,340 The Iron Bowl, you know, Bama can be 9, could be 11 and 1 209 00:15:01,340 --> 00:15:05,340 Auburn can be 1 and 11, or 10 and 1 and 1 and 10 210 00:15:05,340 --> 00:15:11,340 And they're going to come together and it's going to be a knockdown, drag out, slugfest for four quarters 211 00:15:11,340 --> 00:15:14,340 Purely because it's the Iron Bowl 212 00:15:14,340 --> 00:15:17,340 And that's the kind of rivalry that the Ravens and the Steelers have 213 00:15:17,340 --> 00:15:20,340 Throw the records out, throw the seating out, throw the point spread out 214 00:15:20,340 --> 00:15:21,340 They're going to go to war 215 00:15:21,340 --> 00:15:25,340 It's going to be like I said, knockdown, drag out, punch in the mouth, punch in the throat 216 00:15:25,340 --> 00:15:28,340 We're going to battle kind of game 217 00:15:28,340 --> 00:15:31,340 And it's going to be very interesting to see who comes out on top 218 00:15:32,340 --> 00:15:37,340 And then the Texans enter as three point dogs at home against the Chargers 219 00:15:37,340 --> 00:15:39,340 The Texans backslid a lot this season 220 00:15:39,340 --> 00:15:43,340 We had CJ Stroud being the MVP talks as a rookie 221 00:15:43,340 --> 00:15:46,340 We had the Texans being one of the new eight teams in the league 222 00:15:46,340 --> 00:15:50,340 Between D'Amico Ryan and CJ Stroud and Derrick Stingley 223 00:15:50,340 --> 00:15:56,340 And then they added Stephon Diggs and they go out and they have Tengdale 224 00:15:56,340 --> 00:15:59,340 And they go out and they add at the running back position 225 00:15:59,340 --> 00:16:00,340 They have to go to the added running back 226 00:16:00,340 --> 00:16:02,340 But they go out and add these pieces 227 00:16:02,340 --> 00:16:04,340 And you just think, man, the Texans are going to take off 228 00:16:04,340 --> 00:16:09,340 They went from 10, 11 wins, they're going to go to 13, 14 229 00:16:09,340 --> 00:16:12,340 Off development and title addition alone 230 00:16:12,340 --> 00:16:14,340 And you don't, you regress 231 00:16:14,340 --> 00:16:16,340 Now Randy has some injuries 232 00:16:16,340 --> 00:16:18,340 Tengdale blows his knee apart 233 00:16:18,340 --> 00:16:21,340 Stephon Diggs gets injured, foul for the year 234 00:16:21,340 --> 00:16:22,340 Like he had some injuries 235 00:16:22,340 --> 00:16:29,340 However, a lot of the expectations and a lot of the pressure put on the Texans organization 236 00:16:29,340 --> 00:16:31,340 Did not come to fruition this season 237 00:16:31,340 --> 00:16:34,340 And then the Chargers, man, what are they trying to do for the Chargers? 238 00:16:34,340 --> 00:16:37,340 They had the worst coach in the NFL, in Brandon Taley 239 00:16:37,340 --> 00:16:42,340 Sad all the time, he had no head coaching experience at any level 240 00:16:42,340 --> 00:16:46,340 I have not had the blessing and the privilege of being a head coach yet 241 00:16:46,340 --> 00:16:48,340 A football 242 00:16:48,340 --> 00:16:55,340 Me and Brandon Taley had the same amount of head coaching experience when he got the NFL head coaching job 243 00:16:55,340 --> 00:16:57,340 None 244 00:16:57,340 --> 00:17:03,340 Under the relevant coach, under the relevant employment section, he had to take nothing 245 00:17:03,340 --> 00:17:06,340 Because he's never been a head coach of anything 246 00:17:06,340 --> 00:17:10,340 Not at the high school level, not at the college level, not at the pro level 247 00:17:10,340 --> 00:17:13,340 He was handed Los Angeles Chargers 248 00:17:13,340 --> 00:17:15,340 So, again, that was a crap show 249 00:17:15,340 --> 00:17:19,340 The hardball comes in, cleans up the books, cleans out the old garbage 250 00:17:19,340 --> 00:17:22,340 And all of a sudden, they are a playoff team 251 00:17:22,340 --> 00:17:26,340 And they weren't in the same division as the Chiefs, probably a Division 1 252 00:17:26,340 --> 00:17:30,340 But that is all I have for the AFC, jumping to the NFC 253 00:17:30,340 --> 00:17:39,340 The NFC has their number one seed, the Detroit Lions, who put on a hell of a game in Week 18 in order to secure said number one seed 254 00:17:39,340 --> 00:17:45,340 So, great job by them, they put on for their city, and they did it in front of the Detroit Faithful 255 00:17:45,340 --> 00:17:53,340 Your two seed, Philadelphia Eagles, coming in as a four point favorite against the Green Bay Packers 256 00:17:53,340 --> 00:18:01,340 Now, this could be from a result of Jalen Hurts not practicing up until today, actually 257 00:18:01,340 --> 00:18:03,340 So, Jalen Hurts was a non-participant 258 00:18:03,340 --> 00:18:11,340 I was even going on the knowledge that Jalen Hurts would probably be out for the season 259 00:18:11,340 --> 00:18:15,340 And so, not out for the season, but out for the game 260 00:18:15,340 --> 00:18:19,340 So, with that being said, they kind of changed the opinion on the game 261 00:18:19,340 --> 00:18:22,340 But, however, he went to practice today and practiced fully 262 00:18:22,340 --> 00:18:26,340 So, that could be a huge thing for the Eagles to get Jalen Hurts back 263 00:18:26,340 --> 00:18:31,340 And if you're the Packers, you kind of feel like you're reeling from injuries 264 00:18:31,340 --> 00:18:35,340 Again, specifically Christian Watson 265 00:18:35,340 --> 00:18:40,340 Again, as Christian Watson tore his ACL in his last game 266 00:18:40,340 --> 00:18:46,340 In a game that wasn't particularly necessary 267 00:18:46,340 --> 00:18:54,340 Now, it was necessary in the sense that they needed a rhythm 268 00:18:54,340 --> 00:18:57,340 It was necessary in the sense that they needed to hold the playoff seed 269 00:18:57,340 --> 00:19:01,340 It was necessary in the sense that you weren't the one seed or a playoff seed that couldn't move 270 00:19:01,340 --> 00:19:05,340 It wasn't like you're the three seed and the four seed's two games behind and there's one game left 271 00:19:05,340 --> 00:19:10,340 And you're like, well, screw it, we're going to rest because we're not going to get the bye anyway 272 00:19:10,340 --> 00:19:18,340 So, this is a way for the team to focus on the next opponent 273 00:19:18,340 --> 00:19:23,340 So, we look at the Green Bay Packers, back to the Packers 274 00:19:23,340 --> 00:19:26,340 They lost Christian Watson to an ACL 275 00:19:26,340 --> 00:19:35,340 It was a game that was borderline meaningless, but I won't fault, obviously, Michael LaFleur for deciding to play his guys 276 00:19:35,340 --> 00:19:41,340 Watson's a fairly injury prone player and he blew his ACL along with some other damage 277 00:19:41,340 --> 00:19:45,340 He had some knee destruction there for him 278 00:19:45,340 --> 00:19:51,340 So, it's going to be very interesting to see how the Packers operate without him 279 00:19:51,340 --> 00:19:58,340 The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are going to battle the Washington Commanders in Tampa in Raymond James Stadium 280 00:19:58,340 --> 00:20:01,340 Tampa opening as a slim 3-point favorite 281 00:20:01,340 --> 00:20:05,340 Now, that's intriguing because that saying these teams are evenly matched 282 00:20:05,340 --> 00:20:07,340 You get three points for home field advantage 283 00:20:07,340 --> 00:20:11,340 So, the fact that they were like, if it was a neutral side game, it's a pick-em 284 00:20:11,340 --> 00:20:19,340 That's a credit and a kudos to the Washington Commanders organization 285 00:20:19,340 --> 00:20:22,340 I spoke about the same thing with Denver and Bo Nicks 286 00:20:22,340 --> 00:20:24,340 This is their chance if you're Washington 287 00:20:24,340 --> 00:20:25,340 And they're starting to make some moves 288 00:20:25,340 --> 00:20:29,340 They brought in Austin Eckler, they kept Terry McLaurin 289 00:20:29,340 --> 00:20:35,340 They kind of stripped a little bit of the defense away, which is mostly the depth piece 290 00:20:35,340 --> 00:20:39,340 But the Washington Commanders are on a great spot 291 00:20:39,340 --> 00:20:43,340 They also, like I said about the Broncos and Bo Nicks, don't be stupid 292 00:20:43,340 --> 00:20:45,340 Try to execute the Russell Wilson route 293 00:20:45,340 --> 00:20:48,340 Go get them weapons, which you got scary, Terry 294 00:20:48,340 --> 00:20:52,340 Austin Eckler's pretty solid, but go get them some weapons and go get a hell of a defense 295 00:20:52,340 --> 00:20:55,340 You can pay for weapons, drive the defense 296 00:20:55,340 --> 00:21:02,340 And they're in a position in order to really go try and win a championship in the next couple of years 297 00:21:02,340 --> 00:21:08,340 And then the Rams opened up as the home underdog against the Minnesota Vikings 298 00:21:08,340 --> 00:21:20,340 Those Vikings who were ceremoniously disemboweled on Sunday Night Football against the Detroit Lions 299 00:21:20,340 --> 00:21:24,340 Now look to get their playoff run started against the Los Angeles Rams 300 00:21:24,340 --> 00:21:34,340 I'm sure the Rams are going to execute a lot of what the Lions is to the Vikings 301 00:21:34,340 --> 00:21:39,340 In terms of sending that constant pressure, sending that heat, making Sam Donnell move from the pocket 302 00:21:39,340 --> 00:21:48,340 It's going to be quite the game and quite the weekend all around for the NFL 303 00:21:48,340 --> 00:21:52,340 But up next, I'm sorry, my apologies 304 00:21:52,340 --> 00:22:00,340 So let's go through a quick look of JCS's official award ceremony 305 00:22:00,340 --> 00:22:07,340 If I were to have it, MVP, it's coming out two person thing, Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson 306 00:22:07,340 --> 00:22:11,340 I said it before, Lamar Jackson is going to be held to his own standard 307 00:22:11,340 --> 00:22:20,340 His own standard is better than this, so I've got to go with Josh Allen 308 00:22:20,340 --> 00:22:26,340 The two on the list is the Steelers plus nine and a half at Ravens 309 00:22:26,340 --> 00:22:30,340 What am I going to do there? I'm so sorry, I skipped all the way down to Jax Pack 310 00:22:30,340 --> 00:22:33,340 My apologies, my nose got jumbled there 311 00:22:33,340 --> 00:22:38,340 Office of the Year race between Saecon Barkley, Jamar Chase and Derrick Henry 312 00:22:38,340 --> 00:22:45,340 To me, the Office of the Year feels like a consolation prize or the non-QB Heisman 313 00:22:45,340 --> 00:22:51,340 I always feel like the Heisman is the best QB and that the Office of the Year goes to the best non-QB Heisman 314 00:22:51,340 --> 00:22:57,340 Now what I didn't think about was that Joe Burrow would not be allowed to leave without an award 315 00:22:57,340 --> 00:23:06,340 So you always hand him the award, but it just occurred to me that Joe Burrow is not leaving without an award 316 00:23:06,340 --> 00:23:09,340 He led the league in passing, so he's going to end up with something 317 00:23:09,340 --> 00:23:13,340 Is it coming to the Play of the Year? I don't think so 318 00:23:13,340 --> 00:23:19,340 I think he would have the qualifications to meet that situation 319 00:23:19,340 --> 00:23:28,340 Coach of the Year, to me it came down between Dan Campbell and Kevin O'Connell and Sean McVay 320 00:23:28,340 --> 00:23:30,340 We've got to go Dan Campbell 321 00:23:30,340 --> 00:23:32,340 When the game was on the line, he beat Kevin O'Connell 322 00:23:32,340 --> 00:23:38,340 When the first seed in the division was on the line, he beat Kevin O'Connell 323 00:23:38,340 --> 00:23:47,340 Rookie of the Year has to be without a shadow of a doubt, Washington Command's QB, Jaden Daniels 324 00:23:47,340 --> 00:23:49,340 There's literally no choice 325 00:23:49,340 --> 00:23:51,340 And it's not going to be unanimous 326 00:23:51,340 --> 00:23:53,340 A couple of Denver guys are going to vote for both next 327 00:23:53,340 --> 00:23:57,340 We're going to have one Caleb Williams guy somewhere 328 00:23:57,340 --> 00:24:02,340 We're going to end up with a couple of guys voting for Michael Pennant 329 00:24:02,340 --> 00:24:04,340 It's not going to be unanimous 330 00:24:04,340 --> 00:24:08,340 But it's going to be vast majority is going to vote Jaden Daniels 331 00:24:08,340 --> 00:24:11,340 To me he's the clear and obvious choice here 332 00:24:11,340 --> 00:24:16,340 And comeback player of the year has to be Joe Burrow 333 00:24:16,340 --> 00:24:18,340 He had the hand injury last year 334 00:24:18,340 --> 00:24:25,340 And remember, Sam Donnell isn't eligible because the AP changed the rules about honoring the spirit of the award 335 00:24:25,340 --> 00:24:29,340 And coming back from being bad isn't a Comeback Player of the Year nomination 336 00:24:29,340 --> 00:24:36,340 So it's coming back from a hardship or injury or something like that 337 00:24:36,340 --> 00:24:42,340 Being out of the league in general, some of that nature is what the Comeback Player of the Year is now 338 00:24:42,340 --> 00:25:00,340 But up next, we're going to shift to our NFL betting segment, Jax Pack 339 00:25:00,340 --> 00:25:05,340 Welcome into the show 340 00:25:05,340 --> 00:25:08,340 And welcome back into the show, Ryler 341 00:25:08,340 --> 00:25:11,340 Welcome to the NFL betting segment, Jax Pack 342 00:25:11,340 --> 00:25:13,340 Which is going to be our B block 343 00:25:13,340 --> 00:25:16,340 So kind of an apology for a long A block, my bad 344 00:25:16,340 --> 00:25:20,340 But our B block and we're going to go into our Jax Pack 345 00:25:20,340 --> 00:25:23,340 Which is going to be a review of the regular season 346 00:25:23,340 --> 00:25:25,340 And then coming into the playoffs 347 00:25:25,340 --> 00:25:31,340 So in a regular season we finally got our perfect week 348 00:25:31,340 --> 00:25:33,340 Week 17 with 5-0 349 00:25:33,340 --> 00:25:36,340 I did the show before week 17 finished 350 00:25:36,340 --> 00:25:38,340 With a 4-0 and then the Bengals covered that night 351 00:25:38,340 --> 00:25:40,340 So we ended up being 5-0 352 00:25:40,340 --> 00:25:44,340 So we go into week 18 353 00:25:44,340 --> 00:25:46,340 I'm riding high 354 00:25:46,340 --> 00:25:48,340 I'm loving the process 355 00:25:48,340 --> 00:25:51,340 But what did I end up saying that night?

Let's go through the list 413 00:28:34,340 --> 00:28:36,340 Better coach 414 00:28:36,340 --> 00:28:38,340 Hardball is better than D'Amico Ryan 415 00:28:38,340 --> 00:28:40,340 Hardball is one rings, Vincenzo Soppo 416 00:28:40,340 --> 00:28:42,340 D'Amico Ryan is nothing either 417 00:28:42,340 --> 00:28:45,340 Better quarterback, Herbert Astral 418 00:28:45,340 --> 00:28:46,340 Give me Herbert 419 00:28:46,340 --> 00:28:48,340 Better number one receiver 420 00:28:48,340 --> 00:28:52,340 Lad McConkey is the best receiver in this game 421 00:28:52,340 --> 00:28:54,340 Better tight end 422 00:28:54,340 --> 00:28:55,340 Tie 423 00:28:55,340 --> 00:28:57,340 Better offensive line 424 00:28:57,340 --> 00:28:58,340 Tie 425 00:28:58,340 --> 00:29:01,340 Better corner 426 00:29:01,340 --> 00:29:05,340 Stingley is the best corner in the game, so I give you Stingley 427 00:29:05,340 --> 00:29:07,340 Best DB in general 428 00:29:07,340 --> 00:29:09,340 Derwin James 429 00:29:09,340 --> 00:29:12,340 Best defensive line 430 00:29:12,340 --> 00:29:15,340 That might be a push 431 00:29:15,340 --> 00:29:17,340 I don't expect there to be a blowout 432 00:29:17,340 --> 00:29:19,340 Of course, the playoffs 433 00:29:19,340 --> 00:29:20,340 I'd rather there to be a blowout 434 00:29:20,340 --> 00:29:25,340 However, I do expect the Chargers to win by about a touchdown 27 to 20 435 00:29:25,340 --> 00:29:29,340 I think Herbert hits a touchdown about five minutes left 436 00:29:29,340 --> 00:29:30,340 Texans don't get it in 437 00:29:30,340 --> 00:29:33,340 And then they bleed the clock out and get out of Houston when they win 438 00:29:33,340 --> 00:29:35,340 So I'm thinking 27 to 20 439 00:29:35,340 --> 00:29:40,340 Chargers get the victory, so Chargers minus three, take the Chargers 440 00:29:40,340 --> 00:29:44,340 Steelers at Ravens, Steelers plus nine and a half, take the Steelers 441 00:29:44,340 --> 00:29:48,340 I'm picking this purely off the, it feels disrespectful 442 00:29:48,340 --> 00:29:53,340 This feels very disrespectful to the Pittsburgh Steelers Association 443 00:29:53,340 --> 00:29:58,340 To Coach Mike Tomlin and to the rivalry known as the Steelers and the Ravens 444 00:29:58,340 --> 00:30:07,340 That means in order for this bet to cash, the Ravens would have to beat the Steelers by ten, by double digits 445 00:30:07,340 --> 00:30:10,340 I don't see that happening, not in the playoffs 446 00:30:10,340 --> 00:30:13,340 If this is week 18, sure 447 00:30:13,340 --> 00:30:16,340 Week 12 and the Steelers are just god awful, maybe 448 00:30:16,340 --> 00:30:23,340 And the two playoff caliber Ravens-Steelers teams are going to meet in the playoffs 449 00:30:23,340 --> 00:30:28,340 And one's going to beat the other, I don't care who it is, one's going to beat the other by double digits? 450 00:30:28,340 --> 00:30:30,340 Nah, I ain't with it 451 00:30:30,340 --> 00:30:33,340 So Steelers plus nine and a half, take the Steelers 452 00:30:33,340 --> 00:30:40,340 Eagles minus, no, Eagles, sorry, Eagles versus the Packers 453 00:30:40,340 --> 00:30:43,340 Eagles minus four, take the Eagles 454 00:30:43,340 --> 00:30:47,340 Now this number could be an absolute steal, especially if Jalen Hurts comes back 455 00:30:47,340 --> 00:30:54,340 I strongly believe this number is due to the fact that Jalen Hurts is highly questionable 456 00:30:54,340 --> 00:30:58,340 Now I was telling people, hell, yesterday, maybe two days ago 457 00:30:58,340 --> 00:31:02,340 That Hurts wasn't going to play 458 00:31:02,340 --> 00:31:06,340 So then he practices, no that was yesterday, so Hurts wasn't going to play 459 00:31:06,340 --> 00:31:10,340 So then he practiced fully today, he attends practice today 460 00:31:10,340 --> 00:31:16,340 The practice Thursday is going to be vital, and then probably Saturday is going to be huge, of course 461 00:31:16,340 --> 00:31:22,340 To see if he's going to clear protocol to play on Sunday 462 00:31:22,340 --> 00:31:26,340 I think with Kenny Pickett, they win this game 463 00:31:26,340 --> 00:31:30,340 I think, I've seen Kenny Pickett's good enough, Davante Smith's amazing 464 00:31:30,340 --> 00:31:33,340 AJ Smith, AJ Brown, AJ Brown, and Saquon Saquon 465 00:31:33,340 --> 00:31:36,340 I think they win the game anyway with Kenny Pickett 466 00:31:36,340 --> 00:31:39,340 I think they win by a touchdown plus if Jalen Hurts plays 467 00:31:39,340 --> 00:31:43,340 And that's what I'm counting on, I'm counting on Jalen Hurts playing 468 00:31:43,340 --> 00:31:47,340 And that the Eagles win it by probably 10 points 469 00:31:47,340 --> 00:31:50,340 Over at the pack, especially at home, I think Saquon's going to be just too much 470 00:31:50,340 --> 00:31:53,340 I think he's going to just overwhelm them 471 00:31:53,340 --> 00:31:55,340 Overwhelm the Packers 472 00:31:55,340 --> 00:32:00,340 Now very curious to see if Hurts is cleared if the tush push is taken out of the playbook 473 00:32:00,340 --> 00:32:04,340 He clears the custom protocol on Saturday 474 00:32:04,340 --> 00:32:07,340 Do you stick his head in the middle on Sunday? 475 00:32:07,340 --> 00:32:09,340 Or do you wait a week? 476 00:32:09,340 --> 00:32:11,340 I mean that could be a very interesting 477 00:32:11,340 --> 00:32:16,340 It could be interesting how they play goal line, fourth and one, third and one 478 00:32:16,340 --> 00:32:19,340 Fourth and two, third and two situations 479 00:32:19,340 --> 00:32:21,340 Because the tush push was guaranteed two to three yards 480 00:32:21,340 --> 00:32:25,340 But it involved him putting his head first into almost every situation 481 00:32:25,340 --> 00:32:28,340 Do you allow trained Saquon how to do it? 482 00:32:28,340 --> 00:32:32,340 You know, he catches it and drops it, I don't know 483 00:32:32,340 --> 00:32:34,340 I don't know, very curious to see how that developed 484 00:32:34,340 --> 00:32:38,340 But I've got the Eagles here, minus four, take the Eagles 485 00:32:38,340 --> 00:32:42,340 Commanders at Bucks, Commanders plus three, take the Commanders here 486 00:32:42,340 --> 00:32:44,340 This is full belief in Jaden Daniels 487 00:32:44,340 --> 00:32:49,340 I told you guys I was going to drive the Jaden Daniels bandwagon until the wheels fall off 488 00:32:49,340 --> 00:32:51,340 We're driving on into the playoffs 489 00:32:51,340 --> 00:32:54,340 And going to continue doing that 490 00:32:54,340 --> 00:32:56,340 Plus three against the Bucks here 491 00:32:56,340 --> 00:32:59,340 I truly think the Commanders are going to win this game 492 00:32:59,340 --> 00:33:01,340 We get Marshawn Lattimore and Mike Evans again 493 00:33:01,340 --> 00:33:04,340 We just get it in different uniforms now 494 00:33:04,340 --> 00:33:06,340 So that's cool 495 00:33:06,340 --> 00:33:09,340 Potentially if Lattimore's hamstring is ready to go 496 00:33:09,340 --> 00:33:12,340 But we know what Jaden Daniels represents 497 00:33:12,340 --> 00:33:14,340 He's not afraid of the big moments, he's played in big games 498 00:33:14,340 --> 00:33:19,340 He played in the SEC, he ain't worried about a stage 499 00:33:19,340 --> 00:33:23,340 When you play in the SEC you're no longer concerned about a stage 500 00:33:23,340 --> 00:33:26,340 And I just think that the Bucks may come into this game a little tight 501 00:33:26,340 --> 00:33:29,340 I think the advantage that the Bucks would have over a regular wild card team 502 00:33:29,340 --> 00:33:31,340 They don't have over the Commanders 503 00:33:31,340 --> 00:33:35,340 I think Jaden Daniels, he may not be the better or pure quarterback right now 504 00:33:35,340 --> 00:33:37,340 But he has the higher upside in this game 505 00:33:37,340 --> 00:33:40,340 As far as he can game break with his legs 506 00:33:40,340 --> 00:33:44,340 I think scary Terry and Mike Evans cancel 507 00:33:44,340 --> 00:33:48,340 There's not a lot of advantages that Tampa would normally have 508 00:33:48,340 --> 00:33:49,340 That they would have in this game 509 00:33:49,340 --> 00:33:53,340 I think Dan Quinn is actually going to be a better coach than Todd Bowles 510 00:33:53,340 --> 00:33:58,340 So I think Cliff Kingsbury could be a better offensive minor than Tampa's offensive coordinator 511 00:33:58,340 --> 00:34:00,340 Because it's like the advantage they would normally have, they don't 512 00:34:00,340 --> 00:34:03,340 So I think the Commanders win this game outright 513 00:34:03,340 --> 00:34:06,340 So Devon Tech Commanders plus three 514 00:34:06,340 --> 00:34:09,340 Bills versus the Broncos, Bills minus eight and a half 515 00:34:09,340 --> 00:34:13,340 Do me a favor and take the Bills, I'm sorry, do yourself a favor 516 00:34:13,340 --> 00:34:15,340 And take the Bills here 517 00:34:15,340 --> 00:34:19,340 They're going to absolutely destroy the Denver Broncos 518 00:34:19,340 --> 00:34:21,340 Like it's going to get bad 519 00:34:21,340 --> 00:34:31,340 Like the Buffalo Bills in Orchard Park are going to absolutely commit destruction against the Denver Broncos 520 00:34:31,340 --> 00:34:33,340 Point blank period 521 00:34:33,340 --> 00:34:36,340 They're going to wreck the Broncos 522 00:34:36,340 --> 00:34:38,340 Eight and a half is disrespectful 523 00:34:38,340 --> 00:34:43,340 The fact that they say the Denver Broncos, Bo Nicks is closer to the Bills 524 00:34:43,340 --> 00:34:48,340 Than Russell Wilson, from Mike Tomlin and the Steelers are to the Ravens 525 00:34:48,340 --> 00:34:50,340 That's blasphemous in my opinion 526 00:34:50,340 --> 00:34:52,340 That's just downright disrespectful 527 00:34:52,340 --> 00:34:59,340 And I think the Ravens are going to, not the Ravens, the Bills are going to absolutely blow the Broncos off the face of planet Earth 528 00:34:59,340 --> 00:35:06,340 And then lastly Vikings at Rams, Vikings plus, I'm sorry, Vikings minus one and a half 529 00:35:06,340 --> 00:35:07,340 Take the Vikings here 530 00:35:07,340 --> 00:35:10,340 This is because the Vikings are going to win the game 531 00:35:10,340 --> 00:35:12,340 And I've said before it's hard to win an NFL game by less than two 532 00:35:12,340 --> 00:35:14,340 It's just difficult 533 00:35:14,340 --> 00:35:16,340 Like mathematically here 534 00:35:16,340 --> 00:35:21,340 I think to me anything in Vegas less than two and a half or less 535 00:35:21,340 --> 00:35:23,340 You can tell that team you think is going to win 536 00:35:23,340 --> 00:35:26,340 Because it's really hard to win a game by less than a field goal 537 00:35:26,340 --> 00:35:29,340 Like 24-22 happened recently 538 00:35:29,340 --> 00:35:34,340 But like it's really hard to win a game by less than a field goal in a game of threes and sevens 539 00:35:34,340 --> 00:35:38,340 It's just difficult to win a game by less than a field goal 540 00:35:38,340 --> 00:35:41,340 And so I think the Vikings here, you only got to give them one and a half 541 00:35:41,340 --> 00:35:43,340 I think they win the game alright 542 00:35:43,340 --> 00:35:45,340 They definitely cover the spread 543 00:35:45,340 --> 00:35:47,340 The Vikings minus one and a half at the Rams 544 00:35:47,340 --> 00:35:49,340 So to run through it again 545 00:35:49,340 --> 00:35:53,340 We have the Chargers minus three at the Texans 546 00:35:53,340 --> 00:35:56,340 The Steelers plus nine and a half at the Ravens 547 00:35:56,340 --> 00:36:00,340 Eagles minus four versus the Packers 548 00:36:00,340 --> 00:36:03,340 Commanders plus three at the Bucs 549 00:36:03,340 --> 00:36:07,340 Bills minus eight and a half versus the Broncos 550 00:36:07,340 --> 00:36:10,340 Vikings minus one and a half at the Rams 551 00:36:10,340 --> 00:36:15,340 But that is all I have in this segment 552 00:36:15,340 --> 00:36:18,340 So we're ready to continue our winning weight into the playoffs 553 00:36:18,340 --> 00:36:20,340 Now we're going to shift to college football playoff 554 00:36:20,340 --> 00:36:22,340 And talk about what's going on there 555 00:36:22,340 --> 00:36:45,340 Welcome back into the show 556 00:36:45,340 --> 00:36:49,340 And now we're going to talk about the college football playoff 557 00:36:49,340 --> 00:36:53,340 We're going to talk about the college football playoff 558 00:36:53,340 --> 00:36:55,340 And the college football playoff 559 00:36:55,340 --> 00:36:57,340 And the college football playoff 560 00:36:57,340 --> 00:37:01,340 Where we are nearing the round that we used to start in 561 00:37:01,340 --> 00:37:05,340 People in the 80s and 90s remember that they just named one 562 00:37:05,340 --> 00:37:07,340 In the national championship game 563 00:37:07,340 --> 00:37:09,340 They just named the national champion 564 00:37:09,340 --> 00:37:11,340 Florida, sometimes you work out with the number one team 565 00:37:11,340 --> 00:37:13,340 Who plays the number two team in the bowl game 566 00:37:13,340 --> 00:37:14,340 You know what I'm saying 567 00:37:14,340 --> 00:37:16,340 And then whoever wins the national championship 568 00:37:16,340 --> 00:37:19,340 They would name number two the national champion 569 00:37:19,340 --> 00:37:21,340 And the AP would name somebody else 570 00:37:21,340 --> 00:37:23,340 It was weird in this couple years 571 00:37:23,340 --> 00:37:26,340 But I did notice that in some of the bowl games 572 00:37:26,340 --> 00:37:29,340 Back in those times they would try to match up 573 00:37:29,340 --> 00:37:31,340 So if number one was Penn State and number two was Miami 574 00:37:31,340 --> 00:37:33,340 They'd play in the Orange Bowl 575 00:37:33,340 --> 00:37:35,340 Or they'd play in the Sugar Bowl 576 00:37:35,340 --> 00:37:39,340 They would try to match them up to where they played in their bowl game 577 00:37:39,340 --> 00:37:42,340 To almost have a de facto national championship game 578 00:37:42,340 --> 00:37:46,340 Without calling it officially a national championship game 579 00:37:46,340 --> 00:37:47,340 That was in the 80s and 90s 580 00:37:47,340 --> 00:37:51,340 Then the BCS is born in 1999 581 00:37:51,340 --> 00:37:55,340 Where from the rest of 1989 through current day 582 00:37:55,340 --> 00:37:58,340 We have on the field champions 583 00:37:58,340 --> 00:38:04,340 The BCS exists until about 2013, 14 584 00:38:04,340 --> 00:38:06,340 Remember if I'm saying that correctly 585 00:38:06,340 --> 00:38:08,340 And then the BCS dies, maybe 16 586 00:38:08,340 --> 00:38:10,340 Then the BCS dies and gives way to the college football playoff 587 00:38:10,340 --> 00:38:12,340 The four team playoff 588 00:38:12,340 --> 00:38:14,340 And it was every year in the BCS 589 00:38:14,340 --> 00:38:16,340 The third team would feel robbed 590 00:38:16,340 --> 00:38:18,340 It was very rare 591 00:38:18,340 --> 00:38:22,340 I remember the LSU Alabama national championship game in 2011 592 00:38:22,340 --> 00:38:25,340 Where two teams from the same division and the same conference 593 00:38:25,340 --> 00:38:27,340 Played in the championship game in New Orleans 594 00:38:27,340 --> 00:38:31,340 It was the most regional, sectional thing ever 595 00:38:31,340 --> 00:38:33,340 It was raided horribly on the west coast 596 00:38:33,340 --> 00:38:35,340 It was two teams that they didn't have a connection to 597 00:38:35,340 --> 00:38:37,340 It was bad, it raided bad in the northeast 598 00:38:37,340 --> 00:38:41,340 Oh my god, it raided through the roof 599 00:38:41,340 --> 00:38:45,340 Bama went 21-0 off six field goals 600 00:38:45,340 --> 00:38:46,340 Or five field goals 601 00:38:46,340 --> 00:38:48,340 If I touch down on some weirdness like that 602 00:38:48,340 --> 00:38:50,340 They went 21-0 603 00:38:50,340 --> 00:38:52,340 LSU gets dominated 604 00:38:52,340 --> 00:38:53,340 They don't cross the 50 yard line to the fourth quarter 605 00:38:53,340 --> 00:38:56,340 It was bad as an LSU fan, right? 606 00:38:56,340 --> 00:38:59,340 This peak LSU Alabama rivalry, the Knicks saving stuff 607 00:38:59,340 --> 00:39:01,340 It was bad, right? It was rough 608 00:39:01,340 --> 00:39:08,340 But that game was like the poster child for why we needed at least four teams 609 00:39:08,340 --> 00:39:10,340 Most people went right to eight 610 00:39:10,340 --> 00:39:12,340 And then they said, okay, let's settle on four 611 00:39:12,340 --> 00:39:14,340 But that game was the poster child 612 00:39:14,340 --> 00:39:18,340 Because in a four team playoff, three and four 613 00:39:18,340 --> 00:39:20,340 LSU would have played four, Bama would have played three 614 00:39:20,340 --> 00:39:24,340 And if they win and they play, alright, it is what it is 615 00:39:24,340 --> 00:39:27,340 But the fact that Bama rose from like six to two 616 00:39:27,340 --> 00:39:29,340 And didn't play in their conference championship game 617 00:39:29,340 --> 00:39:31,340 Because LSU won their division 618 00:39:31,340 --> 00:39:33,340 Like it was mind blowing, right? 619 00:39:33,340 --> 00:39:37,340 So that was the poster child for the four team playoff basically 620 00:39:37,340 --> 00:39:39,340 The four team playoff happens 621 00:39:39,340 --> 00:39:41,340 Five starts to have a gripe immediately 622 00:39:41,340 --> 00:39:44,340 However, the fifth seed starts to blow a gasket 623 00:39:44,340 --> 00:39:48,340 So most people, rational, said, okay, go to eight 624 00:39:48,340 --> 00:39:54,340 There's never been more than eight teams that you would even consider winning a match championship, right? 625 00:39:54,340 --> 00:39:57,340 If you want, like, it's easy 626 00:39:57,340 --> 00:40:02,340 The four I said purely the top eight maranis 627 00:40:02,340 --> 00:40:03,340 Don't worry about the conference 628 00:40:03,340 --> 00:40:07,340 If you're going to do eight, don't worry about the conference championships 629 00:40:07,340 --> 00:40:08,340 None of that 630 00:40:08,340 --> 00:40:11,340 Know what the top eight is? One through eight, play football 631 00:40:11,340 --> 00:40:15,340 But because of the bowl system, there are six new year's six bowls 632 00:40:15,340 --> 00:40:21,340 This, so you have to have six bowl games with the new year's six before the playoff 633 00:40:21,340 --> 00:40:26,340 In order to not rotate two bowls out a year as far as playoff games 634 00:40:26,340 --> 00:40:29,340 And we got Georgia Clemson in the orange bowl 635 00:40:29,340 --> 00:40:34,340 Where Georgia beats Florida State six, three to three 636 00:40:34,340 --> 00:40:38,340 Because Florida State's entire team gets pissed they weren't in the four team playoff 637 00:40:38,340 --> 00:40:40,340 Because of Jordan Travis injury and opt out 638 00:40:40,340 --> 00:40:42,340 Everybody either opt out or went to the draft 639 00:40:42,340 --> 00:40:45,340 They lost like 30 players or something like that 640 00:40:45,340 --> 00:40:47,340 And Georgia mauls them 641 00:40:47,340 --> 00:40:49,340 Because Georgia was pissed they didn't get in 642 00:40:49,340 --> 00:40:52,340 So Georgia mauls Florida State like six, three to three 643 00:40:52,340 --> 00:40:55,340 Georgia uses that to piss off, we're going to destroy you 644 00:40:55,340 --> 00:40:56,340 Florida State pouted 645 00:40:56,340 --> 00:41:00,340 But it was an orange bowl, New Year's six bowl, it was bad, right? 646 00:41:00,340 --> 00:41:03,340 And so people was like we can't have this anymore 647 00:41:03,340 --> 00:41:04,340 Fair enough 648 00:41:04,340 --> 00:41:08,340 So in order to do that, in order to keep all the bowls happy we expand to 12 649 00:41:08,340 --> 00:41:10,340 This is the first year of the 12 team playoff 650 00:41:10,340 --> 00:41:13,340 So officially we are in the part that would have happened last year 651 00:41:13,340 --> 00:41:18,340 But here's the thing, if it would have happened last year, none of these teams would have been in 652 00:41:18,340 --> 00:41:21,340 Now granted that's due to this qualifying system 653 00:41:21,340 --> 00:41:23,340 Last year's qualifying system 654 00:41:23,340 --> 00:41:26,340 Texas, Ohio State and Notre Dame probably are in 655 00:41:26,340 --> 00:41:28,340 And then Georgia's the fourth team 656 00:41:28,340 --> 00:41:30,340 No, Oregon would have been the fourth team 657 00:41:30,340 --> 00:41:32,340 So who's the lowest ranked? 658 00:41:32,340 --> 00:41:36,340 Probably Notre Dame doesn't get in 659 00:41:36,340 --> 00:41:38,340 Well Notre Dame, yeah Notre Dame probably don't get in 660 00:41:38,340 --> 00:41:43,340 Texas gets in, Oregon's in, Georgia's in, probably Ohio State's in 661 00:41:43,340 --> 00:41:45,340 And Notre Dame is screaming bloody murder 662 00:41:45,340 --> 00:41:47,340 Right? 663 00:41:47,340 --> 00:41:54,340 That's probably how it would have gone last year 664 00:41:54,340 --> 00:41:57,340 But this year we get the 12 team playoff 665 00:41:57,340 --> 00:42:01,340 So we get the teams, I disagree with how the seeding was done 666 00:42:01,340 --> 00:42:05,340 Because honestly on the video game it was never smooth 667 00:42:05,340 --> 00:42:08,340 Like on EAS CODS Sports, Football 25, it was never smooth 668 00:42:08,340 --> 00:42:10,340 It was always a weird seed 669 00:42:10,340 --> 00:42:15,340 It was always like the big 12 champion who was like 7 and 6 or 8 and 4 gets there by 670 00:42:15,340 --> 00:42:18,340 Or they get to host it, it's always like a weird seed, right? 671 00:42:18,340 --> 00:42:20,340 But it's always used as one 672 00:42:20,340 --> 00:42:22,340 This year it was multiple weird seeding 673 00:42:22,340 --> 00:42:26,340 You had Clemson steal the ACC from SMU 674 00:42:26,340 --> 00:42:33,340 You had, so that made the ACC champion the lowest ranked champion 675 00:42:33,340 --> 00:42:36,340 Because Bojie State was really good 676 00:42:36,340 --> 00:42:38,340 Arizona State wins the big 12 677 00:42:38,340 --> 00:42:43,340 They were ranked higher than Clemson 678 00:42:43,340 --> 00:42:46,340 Oregon was undefeated, Georgia wins the SEC 679 00:42:46,340 --> 00:42:49,340 So those ended up being the four teams that get in 680 00:42:49,340 --> 00:42:53,340 Notre Dame, because they're not in the conference, can't get in because they're not a conference champion 681 00:42:53,340 --> 00:42:55,340 They can't get a bye 682 00:42:55,340 --> 00:43:00,340 So remember those four teams, Oregon, Georgia, Bojie State, Arizona State 683 00:43:00,340 --> 00:43:03,340 First round happens, we discussed it, they get to the second round 684 00:43:03,340 --> 00:43:06,340 So now you're in the second round 685 00:43:06,340 --> 00:43:09,340 None of the teams that had a bye, win 686 00:43:09,340 --> 00:43:11,340 Now, a lot of people went up in arms 687 00:43:11,340 --> 00:43:13,340 Oh, because they had to wait three weeks to play 688 00:43:13,340 --> 00:43:18,340 And oh, it's because they, you know 689 00:43:18,340 --> 00:43:21,340 Stuff happened in New Orleans 690 00:43:21,340 --> 00:43:25,340 And you know, the tragedy that happened in New Orleans, right? 691 00:43:25,340 --> 00:43:27,340 And you know, my heart's in thoughts 692 00:43:27,340 --> 00:43:30,340 And it's a, it's a terror attack anywhere 693 00:43:30,340 --> 00:43:31,340 But it's a Louisiana terror attack 694 00:43:31,340 --> 00:43:35,340 We don't get these, these don't happen here 695 00:43:35,340 --> 00:43:37,340 Usually, you know, that happens in LA 696 00:43:37,340 --> 00:43:41,340 Or that'll happen in New York or that'll happen in Florida 697 00:43:41,340 --> 00:43:43,340 Usually doesn't happen in Louisiana 698 00:43:43,340 --> 00:43:45,340 So, you know, we get all the way around 699 00:43:45,340 --> 00:43:49,340 And schools are having moments of silence every day at nine o'clock 700 00:43:49,340 --> 00:43:51,340 And it's, you know what I'm saying, it's just, it's weirdness, right? 701 00:43:51,340 --> 00:43:53,340 It doesn't happen here 702 00:43:53,340 --> 00:43:58,340 But back to the games itself, you know, you know, people in all kinds of circumstances 703 00:43:58,340 --> 00:44:01,340 I simply say, seating was at fault 704 00:44:01,340 --> 00:44:06,340 And people in, I was, I said it in the group message and they jumped all over me 705 00:44:06,340 --> 00:44:09,340 Like, how could seating be at play? How could seating be the problem? 706 00:44:09,340 --> 00:44:13,340 It's easy, the four best teams weren't given the top four seats 707 00:44:13,340 --> 00:44:16,340 Okay, you can make that argument with Oregon, fine 708 00:44:16,340 --> 00:44:20,340 You think Boise State was the second best team in the country? No 709 00:44:20,340 --> 00:44:24,340 You think Arizona State was the third best team in the country? No 710 00:44:24,340 --> 00:44:27,340 Who else lost? Georgia lost? They lost to Texas 711 00:44:27,340 --> 00:44:29,340 It is what it is, right? They had the back quarterback 712 00:44:29,340 --> 00:44:31,340 Because Carson Beck was hurt 713 00:44:31,340 --> 00:44:39,340 So, Georgia injuries, Oregon getting thrashed, notwithstanding 714 00:44:39,340 --> 00:44:42,340 Boise State and Arizona State shouldn't have had the buys 715 00:44:42,340 --> 00:44:45,340 But guess who Boise State and Arizona State lost to? 716 00:44:45,340 --> 00:44:49,340 They lost to Texas, Arizona State did, who would have had a buy 717 00:44:49,340 --> 00:44:53,340 And they lost to Penn State, Penn State probably wouldn't have a buy 718 00:44:53,340 --> 00:44:56,340 Another other buy team would have been Ohio State 719 00:44:56,340 --> 00:44:59,340 But they didn't get a buy either 720 00:44:59,340 --> 00:45:03,340 So, if you look at who should have gotten a buy, because Ohio State thrashes Oregon 721 00:45:03,340 --> 00:45:06,340 So, if you look at it the way who should have got a buy 722 00:45:06,340 --> 00:45:14,340 It should have been Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Notre Dame 723 00:45:14,340 --> 00:45:18,340 So, and then Ohio State should have hosted, and Boise State should have hosted 724 00:45:18,340 --> 00:45:20,340 Arizona State should have hosted, and they would have won their games 725 00:45:20,340 --> 00:45:22,340 They made it to the second round, cool 726 00:45:22,340 --> 00:45:25,340 But to me, your first round games would have been closer 727 00:45:25,340 --> 00:45:27,340 Your second round games would have been closer 728 00:45:27,340 --> 00:45:30,340 You would have even had to earn your way into this Final Four 729 00:45:30,340 --> 00:45:33,340 Which they did anyway, I mean, and I think, I don't think the rest helped 730 00:45:33,340 --> 00:45:37,340 But I think who had the rest was much more at fault 731 00:45:37,340 --> 00:45:41,340 And the seeding, and how the teams are seeded, just opposed to the rest 732 00:45:41,340 --> 00:45:46,340 Is my argument there for the playoff, the teams with the buys going 0-4 733 00:45:46,340 --> 00:45:49,340 But anyway, let's get into the games that were happening this weekend 734 00:45:49,340 --> 00:45:54,340 So, the Cotton Bowl between Texas who are 5.5 points underdoggers against Ohio State 735 00:45:54,340 --> 00:45:58,340 Now, this line being 5.5 feels a bit big 736 00:45:58,340 --> 00:46:01,340 First of all, this is basically a home game for Texas, it's Cotton Bowl 737 00:46:01,340 --> 00:46:05,340 They go every year into the literal Cotton Bowl 738 00:46:05,340 --> 00:46:07,340 The same stadium to play the Red River Shootout 739 00:46:07,340 --> 00:46:12,340 It's in Dallas, it's a home game for Texas, right? 740 00:46:12,340 --> 00:46:15,340 Like every non-school ticket is going to go to a Texas fan 741 00:46:15,340 --> 00:46:18,340 They're literally right there 742 00:46:18,340 --> 00:46:21,340 So, Ohio State is going to get their allotment, Texas is going to get their allotment 743 00:46:21,340 --> 00:46:27,340 Anything in the middle, any general admission, whatever, any non-school tie ticket is going to go to Texas 744 00:46:27,340 --> 00:46:28,340 They're right there 745 00:46:28,340 --> 00:46:32,340 It is going to be a whole lot of burnt orange in that stadium 746 00:46:32,340 --> 00:46:35,340 It's going to look like, oddly, the Red River Shootout 747 00:46:35,340 --> 00:46:38,340 Because burnt orange is going to be on one side and scarlet is going to be on the other side 748 00:46:38,340 --> 00:46:42,340 So, it's going to look oddly like the Red River Shootout anyway 749 00:46:42,340 --> 00:46:44,340 It's going to be a home game basically for Texas 750 00:46:44,340 --> 00:46:49,340 However, there is supposed to be an Arctic blast coming through the Texas area very soon 751 00:46:49,340 --> 00:46:54,340 Louisiana is going to get some of it, we've had really low temperatures recently 752 00:46:54,340 --> 00:46:57,340 But Texas is going to get like an Arctic blast 753 00:46:57,340 --> 00:47:03,340 The NCAA is going to monitor the situation, working with both teams, potentially a reschedule 754 00:47:03,340 --> 00:47:09,340 Or, you know what I'm saying, move up or move back to better accommodate, number one, not only player safety, but fan safety 755 00:47:09,340 --> 00:47:12,340 People have to get to the game 756 00:47:12,340 --> 00:47:14,340 And so, that is what's happening there 757 00:47:14,340 --> 00:47:18,340 But, all, let's just say it all goes well, they play the game, that schedule is no, you know, ice 758 00:47:18,340 --> 00:47:20,340 Storm situations 759 00:47:20,340 --> 00:47:23,340 I'm going to go with Texas here 760 00:47:23,340 --> 00:47:27,340 I'm going to go with Texas here, and I think because of home, it's going to be basically home for the advantage 761 00:47:27,340 --> 00:47:31,340 It's going to be a home game without it being a home game 762 00:47:31,340 --> 00:47:35,340 Like, it won't count in the home game statistics, but it will be a neutral site win 763 00:47:35,340 --> 00:47:38,340 And I think truly that they're going to win this game off the home for the advantage 764 00:47:38,340 --> 00:47:44,340 Ohio State is riding high, Ohio State is coming in there after absolutely thrashing Oregon 765 00:47:44,340 --> 00:47:46,340 And getting all their advantage in the world 766 00:47:46,340 --> 00:47:48,340 But Texas is also riding high 767 00:47:48,340 --> 00:47:52,340 They survived Arizona State, and I think that was big for them 768 00:47:52,340 --> 00:47:55,340 Because they had a pretty easy first run, they handled Clemson from start to finish 769 00:47:55,340 --> 00:47:59,340 So, going with Ohio State into the Fiesta Bowl, I call it the weird one 770 00:47:59,340 --> 00:48:04,340 The Fiesta Bowl had wild stuff happen all the time, it's the weird one 771 00:48:04,340 --> 00:48:07,340 And they go in there and they survive 772 00:48:07,340 --> 00:48:13,340 Oh, no, they were the Peach Bowl, I'm sorry, they were the Peach Bowl, another weird one 773 00:48:13,340 --> 00:48:16,340 Stuff that happens all the time, the Peach Bowl as well 774 00:48:16,340 --> 00:48:19,340 And they go in there and they survive against Arizona State 775 00:48:19,340 --> 00:48:24,340 Despite Scadaboo, I mean, bawling out of his life, winning MVP and losing effort 776 00:48:24,340 --> 00:48:26,340 Like, he was pooping 777 00:48:26,340 --> 00:48:29,340 So, shout out Texas, I think Texas gets it done 778 00:48:29,340 --> 00:48:33,340 And the SEC has somebody in the championship game 779 00:48:33,340 --> 00:48:37,340 And then Penn State versus Notre Dame 780 00:48:37,340 --> 00:48:41,340 Now, Notre Dame, I don't have their points spread up here, oddly 781 00:48:41,340 --> 00:48:46,340 I'm going to look it up real fast, but Penn State plays Notre Dame in a game 782 00:48:46,340 --> 00:48:50,340 Where, first of all, Notre Dame is $14 million richer 783 00:48:50,340 --> 00:48:54,340 Because they don't have to split their revenue share with anyone 784 00:48:54,340 --> 00:48:58,340 That's the benefit of being independent, that's why Notre Dame always says F off 785 00:48:58,340 --> 00:49:04,340 Whenever anybody potentially brings up the possibility of them joining a conference 786 00:49:04,340 --> 00:49:06,340 They say, we're doing all our other sports 787 00:49:06,340 --> 00:49:13,340 We're not doing it in football because of the revenue sharing process 788 00:49:13,340 --> 00:49:16,340 Now, if somebody makes Notre Dame a sweetheart deal 789 00:49:16,340 --> 00:49:18,340 Notre Dame is one and a half point favorites right now 790 00:49:18,340 --> 00:49:20,340 Notre Dame is one and a half point favorites 791 00:49:20,340 --> 00:49:22,340 If somebody makes Notre Dame a sweetheart deal 792 00:49:22,340 --> 00:49:25,340 Where they don't get affected with the NBC contract 793 00:49:25,340 --> 00:49:29,340 And they can keep most of their money revenue sharing and blah blah blah 794 00:49:29,340 --> 00:49:31,340 They might 795 00:49:31,340 --> 00:49:34,340 But I just don't see Notre Dame joining a conference 796 00:49:34,340 --> 00:49:36,340 Because they have it too good 797 00:49:36,340 --> 00:49:39,340 And I think they're either going to get 798 00:49:39,340 --> 00:49:44,340 The NCAA is going to change the rule of the automatic qualifier who gets it 799 00:49:44,340 --> 00:49:47,340 Which is going to help Notre Dame even more 800 00:49:47,340 --> 00:49:49,340 Because now they get to make all the money in the world 801 00:49:49,340 --> 00:49:55,340 And they get to get a buy in the event the NCAA changes who can get what buy when 802 00:49:55,340 --> 00:49:57,340 So that's going to be huge for them 803 00:49:57,340 --> 00:50:02,340 As opposed to Penn State, man, this is a team that not many people looked at in the Big Ten as being a title contender 804 00:50:02,340 --> 00:50:06,340 And right now they're standing with their Big Ten brother on Ohio State as a 805 00:50:06,340 --> 00:50:09,340 It could be an all Big Ten title game 806 00:50:09,340 --> 00:50:13,340 Right? And many people thought it would be the SEC Invitational 807 00:50:13,340 --> 00:50:17,340 When they went to 12 team and honestly without automatic qualifiers 808 00:50:17,340 --> 00:50:20,340 I think Bama probably sneaks in 809 00:50:20,340 --> 00:50:23,340 So it may, you know what I'm saying, who knows what could happen 810 00:50:23,340 --> 00:50:29,340 But I do know that it could be an all Big Ten national championship game 811 00:50:29,340 --> 00:50:32,340 Which would be crazy for the Big Ten 812 00:50:32,340 --> 00:50:35,340 The revenue money would be wild for the conference 813 00:50:35,340 --> 00:50:39,340 And I think that that's going to be huge 814 00:50:39,340 --> 00:50:41,340 I think Penn State's a really good football team 815 00:50:41,340 --> 00:50:43,340 And they're a toughest Nels football team 816 00:50:43,340 --> 00:50:45,340 I think I've watched them play several times this year 817 00:50:45,340 --> 00:50:48,340 And honestly, not rooting for their team 818 00:50:48,340 --> 00:50:51,340 But looking at it from the other end, like I watched the USC game 819 00:50:51,340 --> 00:50:52,340 Looking at the USC players 820 00:50:52,340 --> 00:50:55,340 I watched the Ohio State game looking at the Ohio State players 821 00:50:55,340 --> 00:50:57,340 And every time I turned on a Penn State game 822 00:50:57,340 --> 00:50:59,340 I was left impressed with their physicality 823 00:50:59,340 --> 00:51:01,340 I was left impressed with their toughness 824 00:51:01,340 --> 00:51:03,340 I was left impressed with their discipline 825 00:51:03,340 --> 00:51:06,340 And so that's going to be huge for Penn State 826 00:51:06,340 --> 00:51:08,340 But I don't think they get it done 827 00:51:08,340 --> 00:51:13,340 I think Notre Dame sneaks by them in the Orange Bowl 828 00:51:13,340 --> 00:51:14,340 And I do mean sneaking 829 00:51:14,340 --> 00:51:17,340 I'm talking about this is going to be, in my opinion, a tie game 830 00:51:17,340 --> 00:51:18,340 With two minutes left 831 00:51:18,340 --> 00:51:20,340 Whoever has the ball last wins 832 00:51:20,340 --> 00:51:23,340 And I just think that that's going to end up being Notre Dame 833 00:51:23,340 --> 00:51:26,340 But up next, we're going to shift to our best for last 834 00:51:26,340 --> 00:51:53,340 It's going to be a quick, quick discussion on Bloody Monday 835 00:51:53,340 --> 00:52:00,340 Welcome back into the show 836 00:52:00,340 --> 00:52:04,340 And now we're going to talk about Bloody Monday 837 00:52:04,340 --> 00:52:06,340 Or Black Monday 838 00:52:06,340 --> 00:52:10,340 Or whatever else it's called, the NFL 839 00:52:10,340 --> 00:52:13,340 The day where coaches usually get fired 840 00:52:13,340 --> 00:52:15,340 Right? 841 00:52:15,340 --> 00:52:20,340 It's a day where GMs and coaches and assistants and stuff get fired 842 00:52:20,340 --> 00:52:21,340 Because what happens is a lot of times 843 00:52:21,340 --> 00:52:23,340 Let's say you walk off the field Sunday night 844 00:52:23,340 --> 00:52:25,340 You may be with your owner that night 845 00:52:25,340 --> 00:52:28,340 Like, Gerard Mayo got fired 846 00:52:28,340 --> 00:52:32,340 Basically, from what it was said, walking off the field 847 00:52:32,340 --> 00:52:34,340 They were like, yeah, you ain't coming back 848 00:52:34,340 --> 00:52:35,340 You know what I'm saying? 849 00:52:35,340 --> 00:52:37,340 Like, before you went to the locker room, they had fired him 850 00:52:37,340 --> 00:52:39,340 So it was kind of like 851 00:52:39,340 --> 00:52:44,340 Those decisions and choices are made prior to the last game, typically 852 00:52:44,340 --> 00:52:51,340 And so they make those moves right after the game 853 00:52:51,340 --> 00:52:59,340 And so that is a situation where 854 00:52:59,340 --> 00:53:01,340 That happened to Gerard Mayo 855 00:53:01,340 --> 00:53:02,340 I'm talking about Gerard Mayo 856 00:53:02,340 --> 00:53:04,340 He got fired right after the game 857 00:53:04,340 --> 00:53:07,340 They had the press conference about him being fired the next day 858 00:53:07,340 --> 00:53:09,340 It was pretty crazy 859 00:53:09,340 --> 00:53:13,340 So Gerard Mayo is fired from the New England Patriots after one season 860 00:53:13,340 --> 00:53:18,340 After a 4-13 season with the Patriots 861 00:53:18,340 --> 00:53:21,340 And he is fired 862 00:53:21,340 --> 00:53:26,340 I think he could have had a chance at coming back for multiple years 863 00:53:26,340 --> 00:53:27,340 I'm a Patriots fan 864 00:53:27,340 --> 00:53:29,340 And you'll see this talk a lot more 865 00:53:29,340 --> 00:53:32,340 More than likely on the YouTube show 866 00:53:32,340 --> 00:53:36,340 With IMS Productions, with Jai from Hey Jai 867 00:53:36,340 --> 00:53:37,340 And we're filming that tomorrow 868 00:53:37,340 --> 00:53:40,340 So you're going to see a lot more of this on the YouTube show 869 00:53:40,340 --> 00:53:41,340 Because we're both Patriots fans 870 00:53:41,340 --> 00:53:42,340 So we're going to talk about it 871 00:53:42,340 --> 00:53:44,340 I think he would have had a chance of coming back 872 00:53:44,340 --> 00:53:47,340 And I think he would have had a real chance of coming back 873 00:53:47,340 --> 00:53:50,340 If, and I do mean if 874 00:53:50,340 --> 00:53:52,340 He didn't have the problems with team management 875 00:53:52,340 --> 00:53:54,340 It felt like the management was off 876 00:53:54,340 --> 00:53:59,340 It just felt like what was wrong was wrong 877 00:53:59,340 --> 00:54:01,340 It was awfully wrong 878 00:54:01,340 --> 00:54:03,340 It was just bad 879 00:54:03,340 --> 00:54:07,340 So I think that he would have had a legitimate chance of coming back 880 00:54:07,340 --> 00:54:09,340 If he wasn't dealing with that 881 00:54:09,340 --> 00:54:13,340 If he wasn't dealing with the management was just off 882 00:54:13,340 --> 00:54:15,340 A lot of pre-snap penalties 883 00:54:15,340 --> 00:54:17,340 A lot of stuff I felt like he could have cleaned up 884 00:54:17,340 --> 00:54:21,340 A lot of stuff that I just thought man like 885 00:54:21,340 --> 00:54:23,340 People in New England don't talk 886 00:54:23,340 --> 00:54:27,340 That was like the steel, it was like the iron curtain for years 887 00:54:27,340 --> 00:54:28,340 Nothing gets out 888 00:54:28,340 --> 00:54:31,340 It doesn't, like nothing leaves the building 889 00:54:31,340 --> 00:54:35,340 Tom Brady talked for 20 something years in New England 890 00:54:35,340 --> 00:54:39,340 You don't remember five words he ever said 891 00:54:39,340 --> 00:54:42,340 Bill Belichick's most famous talk in New England 892 00:54:42,340 --> 00:54:46,340 Is about when he went through the history of long snapping one day 893 00:54:46,340 --> 00:54:48,340 In a press conference 894 00:54:48,340 --> 00:54:49,340 That's it 895 00:54:49,340 --> 00:54:51,340 And on the Cincinnati 896 00:54:51,340 --> 00:54:53,340 Like that's it 897 00:54:53,340 --> 00:54:56,340 And it was just players say this, players say that, players say that 898 00:54:56,340 --> 00:54:57,340 They weren't going anonymous 899 00:54:57,340 --> 00:54:59,340 They were saying the truth 900 00:54:59,340 --> 00:55:01,340 Like they were saying it from their mouth 901 00:55:01,340 --> 00:55:03,340 Into the camera, into the microphone 902 00:55:03,340 --> 00:55:04,340 There was no anonymousness about it 903 00:55:04,340 --> 00:55:06,340 They were just fed up and they were over it 904 00:55:06,340 --> 00:55:08,340 And that ain't the Patriot way 905 00:55:08,340 --> 00:55:10,340 Robert Kraft had a quiet team for 20 something years 906 00:55:10,340 --> 00:55:12,340 He wants his quiet team back 907 00:55:12,340 --> 00:55:14,340 And so that's why I think he's going to 908 00:55:14,340 --> 00:55:16,340 I think Mike Vrabel is going to end up with that job 909 00:55:16,340 --> 00:55:19,340 Because there's one thing Mike Vrabel does is run a team 910 00:55:19,340 --> 00:55:22,340 And so I think that he's going to end up with that job 911 00:55:22,340 --> 00:55:27,340 Doug Peterson gets fired after three seasons with Jacksonville Jaguars 912 00:55:27,340 --> 00:55:31,340 So now Trevor Lawrence will have his third coach in five seasons for the Jaguars 913 00:55:31,340 --> 00:55:35,340 Not saying it's Trevor Lawrence's fault, but there seems to be a commonality 914 00:55:35,340 --> 00:55:40,340 So I'm sure that the owner, Shad Khan, in an interesting note 915 00:55:40,340 --> 00:55:43,340 Said that they're going to keep GM Trent Bulkey 916 00:55:43,340 --> 00:55:49,340 Which probably took off a couple of high level names for the job 917 00:55:49,340 --> 00:55:54,340 However, the coach will report directly to owner Shad Khan and not to Bulkey 918 00:55:54,340 --> 00:56:00,340 So the coach is going to go past the executive suite into the ownership suite to report to him 919 00:56:00,340 --> 00:56:02,340 So that's an interesting structure 920 00:56:02,340 --> 00:56:05,340 That pretty much tells you Bulkey's on thin ice 921 00:56:05,340 --> 00:56:09,340 Because now I don't want my coach to think he's tied to GM 922 00:56:09,340 --> 00:56:13,340 If I'm pleased with his job, he's going to keep it and GM may go 923 00:56:13,340 --> 00:56:18,340 So if I'm Bulkey, I'm nervous about what's going on there 924 00:56:18,340 --> 00:56:20,340 And then positional coaches 925 00:56:20,340 --> 00:56:26,340 The Cincinnati Bengals fired their defensive coordinator, Lou Anarumo 926 00:56:26,340 --> 00:56:30,340 Their offensive line coach, linebacker coach, and defensive line coach 927 00:56:30,340 --> 00:56:35,340 Some people are saying the D.C. got a bad break because we took a guy like Jesse Bates away from them for nothing 928 00:56:35,340 --> 00:56:39,340 And then Dax Hill gets hurt and you expect the defense to still be great 929 00:56:39,340 --> 00:56:44,340 I say that defense is bad, horribly bad all year until the last couple of games of the season 930 00:56:44,340 --> 00:56:48,340 You got a historic offense, you made the playoffs, the defense got a go 931 00:56:48,340 --> 00:56:51,340 Seattle Seahawks have fired offense coordinator Ryan Grubb 932 00:56:51,340 --> 00:56:56,340 And the Indianapolis Colts have fired D.C. Gus Bradley 933 00:56:56,340 --> 00:57:02,340 But that is all I have for you today 934 00:57:02,340 --> 00:57:04,340 I hope you guys enjoyed the show 935 00:57:04,340 --> 00:57:06,340 I hope you guys have a great rest of your week 936 00:57:06,340 --> 00:57:08,340 For those of you in my Texas area, stay warm 937 00:57:08,340 --> 00:57:12,340 For my Louisianaans, stay warm, it's pretty cold out here these days 938 00:57:12,340 --> 00:57:16,340 And make sure that you do your best to stay warm out there through this winter 939 00:57:16,340 --> 00:57:18,340 We're getting a few arctic storms around the country 940 00:57:18,340 --> 00:57:22,340 And again, California with the burns, keep safe for you guys 941 00:57:22,340 --> 00:57:25,340 And New Orleans, we're thinking about you and we're praying for you 942 00:57:25,340 --> 00:57:27,340 That is all I have for today 943 00:57:27,340 --> 00:57:51,340 This has been your host, Justin Jackson, signing out 944 00:57:57,340 --> 00:57:59,340 See you guys next time
