Speaker 1: Yeah, once again, I ain't got the sounds, but I
Speaker 1: will get the sounds next week, I promise.
Speaker 2: My house is just messed up.
Speaker 1: But yeah, let's touchdowns and Tangents live from Hopthorne, California.
Speaker 1: There's just something so intimate that comes from, you know,
Speaker 1: just having these original sounds that we had when we
Speaker 1: originally started.
Speaker 2: But as always, I'm joined by.
Speaker 1: Kenneth Barry and uh yeah, man, we're just here so
Speaker 1: we won't get fined. But no, and all serious, all seriousness,
Speaker 1: Divisional round coming up. I was talking to Kenny earlier.
Speaker 1: It feels weird to not have any games going on
Speaker 1: in the middle of the week. No college football playoff,
Speaker 1: no bowl games, no fcs, no Friday night lights, no playoffs. Nothing,
Speaker 1: just we're just pretty much waiting for these last few
Speaker 1: games to go down in the divisional round and then
Speaker 1: obviously the College Football Playoff, which we'll get to a
Speaker 1: little bit later. But with all that, what will what
Speaker 1: will you remember from this past World Card Week weekend?
Speaker 2: Kenny? M hm uh, Mostly that the Vikings really are
Speaker 2: like Sam Donald. Sam Donald had all that cachet and
Speaker 2: just blew it. Yeah, Sam Donald, who I thought he was?
Speaker 2: He really fumbled the bag he shipped down his leg.
Speaker 2: I mean, you'll still get a good deal.
Speaker 1: He'll still get a'll still get, but he's not gonna
Speaker 1: get the he could have.
Speaker 2: Got, probably for the multi year crazy deal before. He
Speaker 2: probably could have got forty million.
Speaker 1: Probably still throw throw ten twenty million at him or
Speaker 1: he probably he killing with Gardner Mischian guy. He threw
Speaker 1: thirty five touchdowns, bro, I know he looked. That's like
Speaker 1: the most for a dude who just was ass He's
Speaker 1: interceptions ratio was amazing, like he literally Well, the whole
Speaker 1: thing is, think about it this way. That defensive line
Speaker 1: the first time they played was like pretty much a
Speaker 1: rookie young defensive line. By the time they played in
Speaker 1: the playoffs, they're no longer a rookie. They played a
Speaker 1: full season. You know, at that point, you're sophomore. It's
Speaker 1: a whole new new game. So they really made the difference, obviously,
Speaker 1: Jerry versus guy you you've been advocating for since the
Speaker 1: Rams took him, a guy you were advocating for before
Speaker 1: the combine. Even so, Yeah, I mean the Rams just
Speaker 1: shown ability to build it. I mean, I think we
Speaker 1: talked about it earlier in the season. They pretty much
Speaker 1: just took the values of Aaron Donald and just like
Speaker 1: scaled it to different young players, spread it across defensive line.
Speaker 1: It's crazy, and it's like the Raiders could have had
Speaker 1: two cornerstone pieces on defense and an extra draft picky. Well,
Speaker 1: for me, what I'll remember obviously is just man that
Speaker 1: the end of the Empire really showed out man c J.
Speaker 2: Stroud.
Speaker 1: Everyone was talking smack about him all year and rightfully so.
Speaker 1: I mean he was underperformer, especially if you had him
Speaker 1: in fantasy, but he him and the Texans really showed out.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: The Chargers did what they always do. They came out lackluster.
Speaker 1: And I told you that from the get go. I
Speaker 1: told you that as it was going on, like Chargers
Speaker 1: are going to lose this game. The Chargers could have
Speaker 1: easily been up twenty one to nothing, like they got
Speaker 1: a lot of things going their way, but they just
Speaker 1: kept getting in their own way and not capitalizing. And
Speaker 1: I was just like, I've seen this before, but this
Speaker 1: team starts out slow like that, They're not going to
Speaker 1: be able to beat Houston on the road. I don't
Speaker 1: care how good of a coach Tarbon is. Sure enough,
Speaker 1: you know, Herbert had probably one of the worst games
Speaker 1: of his career, and now Khalil Max is talking about retiring,
Speaker 1: which which is pretty crazy to think about that old
Speaker 1: but he's don't make any birthday but it makes sense
Speaker 1: for him, I mean, no, he can think he could
Speaker 1: still ring Chase with the Chiefs Chickens.
Speaker 2: Ring Chase, go to Baltimore, Ring Chase, go to Baltimore.
Speaker 2: Please Kylevin always having had a career year twelve and
Speaker 2: a half sacks.
Speaker 1: But yeah, back to my original point, I mean, Stril
Speaker 1: showed out they get the advance over a Charger team
Speaker 1: that was favored even though they were on the road.
Speaker 2: And then on the other side he got.
Speaker 1: Ricky Jade and Daniels, the guy you've been calling offensive
Speaker 1: rookie of the Year since like week two or three,
Speaker 1: so cold is to use that, But he also showed
Speaker 1: out Commanders advance and really, statistically, rookies don't really win
Speaker 1: playoff games like that. So the fact that he did
Speaker 1: that on the Commanders, which a year ago was by
Speaker 1: far the worst roster I mean, or one of the
Speaker 1: worst rosters maybe besides the Panthers, and you took that
Speaker 1: team to the playoffs like that's borderline MVP, not just
Speaker 1: Rookie of the Year, like if they actually voted for MVP,
Speaker 1: like especially if he somehow wins this game, which honestly
Speaker 1: is kind of like it's possible because now, mind you
Speaker 1: the Lions, I mean, they had a week off, they've
Speaker 1: had some injuries, but if they come out flat that
Speaker 1: young that commander team is both young and hungry and
Speaker 1: also experienced, so anything could happen in that game. But
Speaker 1: back to my original point, how you showed up Jane
Speaker 1: Daniels out of Sa Maurino c J Stroud at a
Speaker 1: ranchall Kokamonga.
Speaker 2: It's really validating the nine on nine nine one.
Speaker 1: I know they got a bunch of other random ARA
Speaker 1: codes out there now, but that's essentially the foundation of it.
Speaker 2: But anyways, moving on to.
Speaker 1: The divisional round, we got the Rams Eagles. I guess
Speaker 1: we can just start there since we already talked a
Speaker 1: lot about it.
Speaker 2: But for me, Kenny never rushes me, why are you
Speaker 2: rushing me right now? What do you? What do you
Speaker 2: rushing me do? I was in a groove and like
Speaker 2: you were kind of I wanted you to pick up
Speaker 2: the energy a little bit.
Speaker 1: Okay, what do you, what do you need me to do?
Speaker 2: Act like you care, Act like you act like you
Speaker 2: want to. Act like Aaron Barry after the after the game,
Speaker 2: when he wouldn't stop talking about when's the Raiders game?
Speaker 2: Pete Kenny? When's the Raiders game? Peter Kenny?
Speaker 1: All right, obviously everyone thinks the Eagles are gonna win
Speaker 1: this game. How are the Rams gonna win it?
Speaker 2: Honestly, they have a smarter coach, their defense is playing
Speaker 2: lights out. They just have to really just stop Satuan.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be hard because the Eagles offensive line is
Speaker 2: the reason why they beat the ship out of the
Speaker 2: Rams the first time. Jaalen Hurts is faster than any linebacker.
Speaker 2: Inside linebacker. They have an A. J. Brown can toast
Speaker 2: any dB on that field, as well as DeVonta Smith
Speaker 2: Dallas Go Dart. The problem, like the variety of the
Speaker 2: Eagles offense and their offensive line and their defense being
Speaker 2: the best in the league, is like they're the most
Speaker 2: complete team left. You know, just Sirianni and Hurts gotta
Speaker 2: be in sync, and you gotta feed Taekwana ball. But
Speaker 2: the Rams really just have to come out aggressive, have
Speaker 2: a smart game plan, short quick passes, you can't. You're
Speaker 2: not gonna be able to throw deep on his defense,
Speaker 2: You're gonna have to take advantage of Philly's uber athletic
Speaker 2: front seven established a run early, don't get caught in
Speaker 2: a lot of third and lungs. Be in a position
Speaker 2: to where you can always go for it fourth and four,
Speaker 2: fourth and five. For me, it comes down to and Cooper,
Speaker 2: Cup and Pooka gotta show up. Cooper, Cup and Pooka
Speaker 2: definitely have to show up. For me, it comes down
Speaker 2: to the Rams. The Rams linebackers. Like you mentioned Sekwan Barkley,
Speaker 2: He's a beast.
Speaker 1: We all know that not only can he run you over,
Speaker 1: but he can also take it to the sins and
Speaker 1: so they not only need to be able to match
Speaker 1: his speed, but they also need to be able to
Speaker 1: tackle him, and that could be an issue, especially with
Speaker 1: Godart going over the middle as you mentioned. So for me,
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the linebackers and safeties like they gotta
Speaker 1: have an exceptional game this next week. In addition to that,
Speaker 1: I mean you talked about it the interior line, they're
Speaker 1: gonna have the biggest challenge as well.
Speaker 2: I mean, the.
Speaker 1: Rams are capable of running the ball that's when they've
Speaker 1: been the best is when they're controlling it with Kiren
Speaker 1: and they're hitting big chunk plays off the play action
Speaker 1: to Puka and Cooper Cup and company. If they can
Speaker 1: do that, they got a chance. It's gonna be cold.
Speaker 1: So I think that'll move in Philly's favor. I think overall,
Speaker 1: we think of Philia is a much more physical team.
Speaker 1: But the way the Rams played this past week, and
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't I don't think they're afraid of anyone.
Speaker 1: I think they are playing like they have nothing to lose,
Speaker 1: and I think in some ways that's really kind of
Speaker 1: ignited some extra fire back in McVeigh and Stafford. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I think this is still phil These game to lose,
Speaker 1: no matter how you break it down. All Right, the
Speaker 1: other game commander's lines.
Speaker 2: Gotta be honest. If the doll if the if the
Speaker 2: Lions and Golf come out slow at all in the
Speaker 2: first half, their commanders will jump on them. Their defense
Speaker 2: will jump on them. Imagine Jonathan Allen's just imagine the
Speaker 2: dudes in that defense have been there for so long.
Speaker 2: You gotta buy the plane one of them is on.
Speaker 2: I know that, I think, And yeah, the fact that
Speaker 2: they've just been through so much, like they got veterans
Speaker 2: at every level enough to make plays. You really just
Speaker 2: have to contain aman Rah and Gibbs, which is a lot.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of moving parts in that offense. But
Speaker 2: Jared Goff is thrown to have a Sam Donald Sam
Speaker 2: Donald kind of game. Some of it some of it
Speaker 2: is dumb luck like, so it'll be a tip pass
Speaker 2: and it's two picks right there. They're both playing. Okay,
Speaker 2: so they're both playing. They're long one of the longest
Speaker 2: team in the veterans on that team, they they've never
Speaker 2: been closer to a Super Bowl. And right now I
Speaker 2: think the Commanders are playing with house money. And Jane
Speaker 2: Daniels is a dog. He don't like losing. Neither. Is
Speaker 2: this scary Terry Brian Robertson's good enough, Eckler's good enough.
Speaker 2: They just have to keep moving the chains. The Lions
Speaker 2: can't really afford any more any more injuries at all,
Speaker 2: like they could be getting gashed. They've been gashed by
Speaker 2: lesser teams like look, so you know, if I think
Speaker 2: the only way the Commanders gets something going early is
Speaker 2: if they can, you know, take advantage of Kirby Joseph's aggressive.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be hard. That's probably the best safety tandement
Speaker 2: football is Brian Branch and Kirby Joseph. Because Brian Bench
Speaker 2: is a safety, he just plays some nickel. But they
Speaker 2: got so many corners and the two perfect safeties, like
Speaker 2: their past defenses is like aired out of space. It
Speaker 2: doesn't exist like it's they're locked down with that. So
Speaker 2: really the Commanders have to win up in the front seven.
Speaker 2: They have to have the Jale's gonna use his legs
Speaker 2: a lot this game. He's gonna be running, he's gonna
Speaker 2: be taking advantage of those linebackers that are either slow
Speaker 2: or they can't cover everything. And Alex Azelon is already
Speaker 2: playing with with a disc in his arm. So I
Speaker 2: think the only way the Commanders win they just have
Speaker 2: to stay aggressive and consistent all game and limit Gibbs
Speaker 2: getting to the second level and alman Ra breaking loose.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not so much worried about the Commander's defense.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think they got capable players across each
Speaker 1: level of the defense, especially as I mentioned, if Detroit
Speaker 1: comes out a little bit slow because you know they
Speaker 1: had a week off and I mean, they played their
Speaker 1: starters the last week, but technically, I mean they could
Speaker 1: have lost that game still made the playoffs. But the
Speaker 1: point is, if Detroit comes out in statters like it
Speaker 1: wouldn't surprise me. I wouldn't put it past the Washington defense.
Speaker 1: But as Kenny mentioned, like, it's really just gonna come
Speaker 1: down to Jane Daniels, Like he's the X factor here.
Speaker 1: He's the one who's going to have to give them
Speaker 1: that X factor like every single drive.
Speaker 2: You know he he won't have to do it fully alone.
Speaker 1: I mean, Scary Tarry is probably one of the most
Speaker 1: underrated players of this generation. And if you can find
Speaker 1: ways to get him the ball quick, early and often,
Speaker 1: I think that will make a huge difference. But as
Speaker 1: we know, the running game has been up and down
Speaker 1: for them. I mean, they've had different guys pop off
Speaker 1: at different times, but.
Speaker 2: I don't know if you can really count on them to.
Speaker 1: Really hold and drive in this sort of playoff environment.
Speaker 1: And then outside of that, I mean, the Lions have
Speaker 1: one really great playmaker who just has a high football
Speaker 1: IQ and just is a dog and Amen Ran and
Speaker 1: then you got Gibbs who's just an exposed to playmaker.
Speaker 1: Anytime he touches the ball. And if those two things
Speaker 1: get going, like the Lions are hard to beat, we'll
Speaker 1: see what happens in the next round, especially if they
Speaker 1: get Philly. And honestly, I mean, I think they should
Speaker 1: probably even be afraid if they get the Rams, cuz
Speaker 1: the Rams won't be afraid of the Lions and a
Speaker 1: championship game. I mean, I think you saw the growth
Speaker 1: just from the two Minnesota games. So yeah, I think
Speaker 1: we both like the Lions pretty much.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just think their old lines two potent. I
Speaker 2: don't think. I don't think the Commander's pass rusk gets
Speaker 2: home against a line this great, even though ironically Frankie
Speaker 2: Louvo and Dante Fowler Junior leads the team in sacks.
Speaker 2: I think he had like ten and a half this year.
Speaker 2: Frankie Louvo has like eight and a half. So I
Speaker 2: just don't see how the Lions don't neutralize the Commander's
Speaker 2: pass rush immediately. And the screen game is gonna be huge.
Speaker 2: So I still got the Lions the edge, but Jalen
Speaker 2: could be playing out of his mind. You never know.
Speaker 2: I just don't think the Lions are gonna be offensively
Speaker 2: nept They're gonna keep the foot on the gas, and
Speaker 2: I don't think the Commanders could score with them. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean.
Speaker 1: Ben Johnson is about to get the job of his picking,
Speaker 1: so why not leave the lasting impression.
Speaker 2: Exactly all right?
Speaker 1: Moving on to the FC, we got the Texans and Chiefs.
Speaker 1: That was tough for me, just because both of those
Speaker 1: teams have been so up and down. On one hand,
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, we've talked about how far they've looked over
Speaker 1: the past few years. But guess what, they still find
Speaker 1: ways to win. They still have a great supporting cast
Speaker 1: around Patrick Mahomes. I mean, they got more weapons in
Speaker 1: the receiving Corps and they probably ever had. It's just
Speaker 1: a matter of who's going to be reliable and available.
Speaker 1: But they still have Travis Kelce. They still got a
Speaker 1: Checko and Kareem Hunt in the backfield. Their defense is
Speaker 1: still young, scrappy, they fly around. It's hard not to
Speaker 1: like the Chiefs, but also the Texans.
Speaker 2: I mean they were.
Speaker 1: Definitely a media darling coming into the season. I mean,
Speaker 1: they added Joe Mixon, they traded for Stefan Diggs who's
Speaker 1: been out. Tank Dell's out, but they still had Nico
Speaker 1: Collins still have Robert words John Matchi. They still have
Speaker 1: capable of playmakers what's his name Schultz, that tight end
Speaker 1: Doalm Schultz. And their defense, I mean is led by
Speaker 1: Jamaico Ryans head coach, and they got dogs on the
Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball, especially with Danielle Hunter, who's
Speaker 1: had kind of like a I mean, he never really
Speaker 1: fell off in Minnesota, but he's definitely out of an
Speaker 1: extra pep in a step in Houston. You got what
Speaker 1: Ryan Anderson right, number two overall pick a few years ago,
Speaker 1: exceptional athlete's. The Texas have enough playmakers to make things happen.
Speaker 1: All Pro corner Stingley, the two safeties, both of who
Speaker 1: the Raiders passed on.
Speaker 2: So I mean, anything could happen in this game.
Speaker 1: If Houston comes out and has their best game, they
Speaker 1: could easily get past the Chiefs. But also the Chiefs
Speaker 1: are proven, they're not going to back down from anyone,
Speaker 1: and they can pretty much get out of any situation.
Speaker 1: So yeah, more than likely it's going to be the Chiefs.
Speaker 1: But Texans, I think have a bigger dog in the
Speaker 1: fight than most people realize.
Speaker 2: I just found out some breaking news and this is
Speaker 2: kind of fire. Darren Bates, former Raider, a bunch of
Speaker 2: other things. He's going to be the special teams coordinator
Speaker 2: for the East team for the East West line Ball.
Speaker 2: He was just a Raider a couple of years ago
Speaker 2: and now he's retired and now he's moving up the
Speaker 2: coach of rights Helafast. I'm happy for him. And he's
Speaker 2: on the Panther staff. The head coach went to Elko,
Speaker 2: so that's me. You could have waited for college football
Speaker 2: for that. But yeah, no, this is but this is dope.
Speaker 2: I mean they dropped the whole senior boat coaching stuff yesterday. Yeah. Bro,
Speaker 2: like Darren Bates, remember where he started rose in safety
Speaker 2: and became a linebacker on that Auburn team and he
Speaker 2: literally really was the drippiest special teams player of his era.
Speaker 2: Everyone says it, but yeah, I just have to throw
Speaker 2: that in there. Shout to former players who are coaches
Speaker 2: in regards to Chiefs, and it's crazy. You know, every
Speaker 2: coach left in the playoff is under Andy Reid's coaching tree.
Speaker 2: They can't say the boy Bill Belchick. But yeah, I
Speaker 2: think the Chiefs just have to really play their game
Speaker 2: and they have to be able to run the ball.
Speaker 2: If they become one dimensional, it's gonna be a problem
Speaker 2: because the Texans have one of the best defenses in
Speaker 2: the league. Now, the Texans offense, they gotta get going
Speaker 2: quick and early. You got to get the easy stuff.
Speaker 2: Robert Woods might play, Mixing is probably gonna play because
Speaker 2: I just don't see how he sits out. Like some
Speaker 2: of these cats are veterans, So it's like even if
Speaker 2: they don't practice, I just you have to know they're
Speaker 2: gonna be ready to come game time, especially like they're
Speaker 2: one game away from the AC title. Like literally, the
Speaker 2: Texans are one win away from the AFC Championship game.
Speaker 2: That's how like you're two games away from a super Bowl,
Speaker 2: Like to be this close for them, and they're the
Speaker 2: only the Texans uh Dimiko rans and C Shard is
Speaker 2: the only head coach QB duo to win win the
Speaker 2: division title in their first two years in the league.
Speaker 2: Like that's crazy, Like they're making history and they can
Speaker 2: very well win this game, but they their defense pretty
Speaker 2: much has to be lights out, and more importantly, they
Speaker 2: can't give up anything in the run game, and the
Speaker 2: Texans offense cannot sputter their past game cannot sputter. That's
Speaker 2: really the biggest thing, the biggest issue. That's where the
Speaker 2: game is going to be one or lost.
Speaker 1: Chris Jones, but you, like the Chiefs, you're not willing
Speaker 1: to put your name out there for the Texans can't
Speaker 1: do it all right, Bill's Ravens Ravens Ravens psychologically, I
Speaker 1: mean yeah, they say, oh, the Bills beat the Ravens
Speaker 1: before in the playoffs.
Speaker 2: Now this Ravens team is that operating at a different level.
Speaker 2: And there's nothing that the Bills have on offense outside
Speaker 2: of Josh Allen that dominates the Ravens defense. They always
Speaker 2: have a dB, they always have a say, Kyle Hamilton
Speaker 2: and Humphrey are playing off each other in Rokwan, Like
Speaker 2: that's the that's the big mean to triangle of defenders
Speaker 2: right there. And then you got by the bouquet and
Speaker 2: you got Kyle van Noi having a career year and
Speaker 2: what year thirteen? And Jason Oway or odafe Oway he
Speaker 2: had ten sacks this year and he runs a fourth
Speaker 2: and forty. So it's like the Ravens have every advantage
Speaker 2: in this game except for that, you know they're not
Speaker 2: at home. But like we saw what happened when Josh
Speaker 2: Allen was at home last year against the Chiefs and
Speaker 2: he couldn't do it. He couldn't get his team over
Speaker 2: the hump. People can say, oh, he doesn't have help, Well,
Speaker 2: you have plenty of help. James Cook tied OJ's touchdown
Speaker 2: record sixteen touchdowns. That's big for a dude who has
Speaker 2: not seen as a power back. But he scored sixteen
Speaker 2: resting touchdowns this year and tied the franchise record for
Speaker 2: total touchdowns almost. So I just gotta say the Ravens
Speaker 2: have every advantage honestly, the league. For home.
Speaker 1: The league always talks about how quarterbacks kind of drive sales,
Speaker 1: drive headlines, you know, drive attention, and I think they
Speaker 1: got that with this game. I mean, Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson,
Speaker 1: They're never actually going to play against each other, but
Speaker 1: you know the pre game media hype is going to,
Speaker 1: you know, put them up against each other. Ultimately, they
Speaker 1: pretty much have been going back and forth in the
Speaker 1: MVP race the last few years. I mean, I think
Speaker 1: Lamar should still get it this year, even though he's
Speaker 1: already got too. I mean, if you look at their stats,
Speaker 1: Lamar has more rushing yards. More passing yards, more passing touchdowns,
Speaker 1: and less intercessions. So whatever you want to say about
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, sure, but Lamar did it and.
Speaker 2: He got more wins. And we have a Derrick Henry
Speaker 2: and you don't. So yeah, I don't know. We have
Speaker 2: a Derick Henry and you don't. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean beyond that, I think this is the team
Speaker 1: that the Bills didn't want to see in the playoffs. Honestly,
Speaker 1: I think the Bills would have rather have played the
Speaker 1: Chiefs than the Ravens fan and I've heard Bill's fancy
Speaker 1: that as well. So yeah, I think the Bill the
Speaker 1: Ravens are just a more complete team. Like I just
Speaker 1: think they're a more refined, more physical team. They're more
Speaker 1: ready for this moment. I think, as you mentioned, they've
Speaker 1: just been playing at a higher level.
Speaker 2: Two hundred and ninety nine rushing yards against the Steelers
Speaker 2: in the playoffs. In my lifetime, I would have told
Speaker 2: you a liar as a child, I said on dick
Speaker 2: Lebo's defense, not dick Lebo's defense.
Speaker 1: I think Buffalo is gonna have to come out with
Speaker 1: something different in their offense. They're gonna have to come
Speaker 1: out with a new sort of wrinkle, they're gonna have
Speaker 1: to take Henry away, just let Lamar beach. They're gonna
Speaker 1: have to come out quick and just obviously not You're
Speaker 1: not gonna knock the Ravens off their back. They're too
Speaker 1: well coached and they've got too many athletes. But I
Speaker 1: think you can stun them a little bit. You can,
Speaker 1: you know, keep them stagnant for a little bit if
Speaker 1: you come out quick and you add something new and
Speaker 1: different into your offense. But if they're gonna come out
Speaker 1: and just be the Josh Allen Show, like we've seen
Speaker 1: that movie how many times.
Speaker 2: But that's what they're gonna have to do. I mean,
Speaker 2: you you want to give him, you want to put
Speaker 2: him in a situation to where he is. It's his
Speaker 2: offense and they're his weapons exactly. James Cook is he
Speaker 2: only got a difference maker. Is a good difference maker? Yeah,
Speaker 2: but he doesn't surpass or come close to Derrick Henry
Speaker 2: for sure, and that's the problem. Like they the Ravens
Speaker 2: linebackers are faster than James Cook for sure. Trent Simpson
Speaker 2: ran a four to four.
Speaker 1: But yeah, so I think we're both going with Ravens
Speaker 1: Chiefs Basically.
Speaker 2: I just trust Harbaugh on the playoffs more.
Speaker 1: This might be the first time we've ever aligned on
Speaker 1: the final four.
Speaker 2: There's like a portal open. I don't know.
Speaker 1: Do we get like really good tax returns this year?
Speaker 1: Hopefully Trump's backing President.
Speaker 2: I hit the lotto? All right, here we go college football?
Speaker 2: Do we become an escort this year? All right? So
Speaker 2: Hot State made the national championship game. But I'm gonna
Speaker 2: play a question that I asked Ryan Day during the
Speaker 2: Cotton Bowl. But there's about their all world record breaking
Speaker 2: freshman wide receiver Jeremiah Smith. So yeah, here we go.
Speaker 3: In regards to Obviously a lot's changed in the year.
Speaker 3: Obviously Cotton Bowl appearance last year against Miszoo circumstances were
Speaker 3: much different. So just how how have the young guys
Speaker 3: on the same Obviously Jeremiah Smith is pretty special, But
Speaker 3: how have the other young guys on this team followed
Speaker 3: the message of the scene and kind of locked in
Speaker 3: in terms.
Speaker 2: Of knowing like they're one name away from a national title.
Speaker 2: Playing back in the Cotton Bowl.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, we're two games away from a national title,
Speaker 4: and you know the only way that we're going to
Speaker 4: get to that final game is to win this game,
Speaker 4: and that's it. And I think yesterday we're able to
Speaker 4: talk a little bit about that. But once that's once
Speaker 4: that's done, the the Oregon game is over, and you know,
Speaker 4: you've got to move on from that, just like we've
Speaker 4: had to move on from other games in the past.
Speaker 4: And the only thing that matters is this game right here,
Speaker 4: playing against Texas, And again, our our motivation right now
Speaker 4: is keeping this team together one more week and then
Speaker 4: we'll go from there and figure out what's next after that.
Speaker 4: But everything else right now is a distraction. And like
Speaker 4: you said, the leaders are the ones that have to
Speaker 4: set the pace on this And when you're a young eighteen,
Speaker 4: nineteen twenty year old person, you know, it isn't always
Speaker 4: easy to stay locked in for this this long of
Speaker 4: a time. And I think the team that can be
Speaker 4: disciplined enough to do.
Speaker 5: That and continually compare, prepare at a high level and
Speaker 5: not cut corners, not frey, not get distracted, not you know,
Speaker 5: you know, try to take shortcuts this time of year
Speaker 5: is going to give themselves the best chance to win.
Speaker 4: And so we've got to do the best job we
Speaker 4: possibly cant of preparing for this game and that's that's
Speaker 4: our focus and that's our process right now.
Speaker 2: They're going to continue to dive into now. That was
Speaker 2: before the Cotton Bowl victory. Senior defensive van Jack Sawyer
Speaker 2: and captain had an eighty three yard sack fumble returned
Speaker 2: for a touchdown against quinn Ewers, his former teammate. Yeah,
Speaker 2: quinn Ewers declared for the draft, which is very interesting.
Speaker 2: You didn't think that was gonna happen. I did not
Speaker 2: think that was gonna happen. And the way he played
Speaker 2: against Ohio State, that probably shouldn't have happened because next
Speaker 2: year she would be classed. He would have had a
Speaker 2: better chance. Yeah, I guess he would have made more
Speaker 2: money too, made more money throwing the organ or ole
Speaker 2: miss somewhere like that, maybe even the USC. But it's
Speaker 2: kind of crazy though that and this is the deadline
Speaker 2: pretty much today it was like the deadline.
Speaker 1: So I mean, not to get on a tangent, but
Speaker 1: I think that's also why the Raiders just got to
Speaker 1: get someone who could develop a quarterback, because I don't
Speaker 1: want us at the end of the day, it's not
Speaker 1: he's not it. I'm not saying I want to quit
Speaker 1: yours I'm not saying at the end of the day, man,
Speaker 1: the Raiders can't develop any quarterbacks. And it's it's been
Speaker 1: showing for the last thirty years, the fact that you
Speaker 1: can't find anyone, you can't develop anyone.
Speaker 2: It's just.
Speaker 1: Every year there's one hundred and twenty college teams, there's
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty quarterbacks. You can't find one, you
Speaker 1: can't develop one, like just trash. Sorry, I mean the
Speaker 1: jack your segment. No, it's on accurate.
Speaker 2: You know, if you look at the draft order, I mean,
Speaker 2: unless the Giants trade down, I could see like two
Speaker 2: maybe three quarterbacks going. But if the Raiders are problem
Speaker 2: is you don't have a head coach, you don't have
Speaker 2: a GM. And even once the playoffs are over, it's like, okay,
Speaker 2: the Senior Bowls at the end of the month, Shry
Speaker 2: Bowls at the end of the month. But there's so
Speaker 2: much tape on some of these guys. It's like if
Speaker 2: he if this quarterback is your guy, you need to
Speaker 2: have an offensive line and wide receiver group that is
Speaker 2: better than what you had last year. And I don't
Speaker 2: see the Raiders doing that unless they're gonna add multiple
Speaker 2: receivers Isaiah Bonds, a first round pick. His teammate also
Speaker 2: seen the first round pick out of Texas. He heard
Speaker 2: his ankle, but he came back and made a big play.
Speaker 2: I mean, Kelvin Banks.
Speaker 1: I mean, at this point, they got they gotta sign
Speaker 1: in draft both a running back and receiver. In my eyes,
Speaker 1: I mean, I think all you because the draft it
Speaker 1: is a Bear.
Speaker 2: I'm drafting to running backs.
Speaker 1: I already told you if you could get a decent
Speaker 1: pick for Jakobe Myers, I think you do it.
Speaker 2: Michael Mayer, you do it. You got to get Michael Mayhor.
Speaker 2: These guys in that defense you gotta get. You gotta
Speaker 2: trade them on that team. You gotta trade. You gotta
Speaker 2: trade Andre. You have to trade.
Speaker 1: Andre James, Andre James if you can. I don't know
Speaker 1: if they'll be takers, but can Now you're just gonna
Speaker 1: have to play Matt right tackle.
Speaker 2: I think they own like ten million. The Bears need
Speaker 2: offensive lineman. Andre James can be their starting center. You'd
Speaker 2: be their best.
Speaker 1: Know why they don't try my right your tackle? There's
Speaker 1: the reason why you have to switch the center. When
Speaker 1: he got to the NFL. I guess that's true. But yeah,
Speaker 1: college football. Yeah, National championship Notre Dame Ohio State. Uh,
Speaker 1: Marcus Freeman was a captain linebacker at Ohio States. By
Speaker 1: the way, me and Kenny predicted that because we literally
Speaker 1: were playing that like two weeks ago on Nancy Double.
Speaker 2: ACU, Like Penn State is not good in Texas.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Kenny me h. Kenny cooked me once. I cooked
Speaker 1: him once, and then we hit a shootout and he
Speaker 1: won last.
Speaker 2: One decisive shootout. Yeah. It's just it's just gonna be
Speaker 2: a fistfight. Man. I can't wait to watch that ship.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a guy. It feels like an old
Speaker 2: school college football game. It feels like it's giving me
Speaker 2: usc Texas physicality but not the star power because it's
Speaker 2: just two great defenses and two great offensive lines. And
Speaker 2: like Junkins is just an asshole playing running back and
Speaker 2: I love it. And Tigue is like he found God,
Speaker 2: but he also will run through your face and he's
Speaker 2: fast as shit. So it's like you got two running
Speaker 2: backs who will be first round picks any other year
Speaker 2: and a draft class that's probably twenty five deep at
Speaker 2: running back now. So when it comes down to it, man,
Speaker 2: I just like it's just gonna come down to who
Speaker 2: screws up first, Riley Leonard or will Howard Howard over
Speaker 2: I trust Ohio State's receivers and that offense over Notre
Speaker 2: Dames defense.
Speaker 1: It could be that I'm tied a little bit closer
Speaker 1: to it just playing the game war this year. But
Speaker 1: it's like, I feel like there's a lot of athletes
Speaker 1: in this draft, Like there's a lot of productive players
Speaker 1: out there. It's like you just gotta find the right
Speaker 1: ones and you gotta put him in the right spots
Speaker 1: to win. But I feel like there's a good amount
Speaker 1: of talent out there across the board.
Speaker 2: There's good players, there's great players, and you make the
Speaker 2: scheme fit around them. Too many times you draft guys
Speaker 2: and you're like, oh, well he fits what we think
Speaker 2: or what a Raider is. Well, a Raider has been
Speaker 2: a failure for like most of my life. So no draft.
Speaker 2: The dude who yeah ran a fourth three five, had
Speaker 2: an injury history, But like Peyton Wilson perfect example, starting
Speaker 2: linebacker as a rookie for the Pittsburgh Steelers right next
Speaker 2: to Patrick Queen, had a pretty good year, would have
Speaker 2: been the best linebacker on the Raiders, And like they're
Speaker 2: not taking advantage of all the task. Sometimes you just
Speaker 2: take the best overall player available and then the guy
Speaker 2: you want to develop you get him in the fourth
Speaker 2: or you get him in the fifth or sixth round.
Speaker 2: You should be getting starters in the first four rounds,
Speaker 2: especially in this draft. I wouldn't even want to pay
Speaker 2: a running back big money this offseason. I would just
Speaker 2: look to the draft and whoever's I like. If Nick
Speaker 2: Chubb is there, if they let him walk, I'll take him.
Speaker 2: You know, there's run the running back on the Niners.
Speaker 2: There's dude you could probably trade for. But you gotta
Speaker 2: look at the strength of If the strength of this
Speaker 2: draft is running backs and defensive line, you should draft
Speaker 2: mostly defensive line and running backs in this draft. Right.
Speaker 2: If there's mostly receivers in the draft, you should just
Speaker 2: take receivers in that draft instead of taking somebody else
Speaker 2: who you think will fit your scheme. But they're clearly not.
Speaker 2: It's like passing on Justin Jefferson because you wanted Henry Ruggs.
Speaker 2: It's like, well, one of them has a plus character
Speaker 2: and the other one's kind of sketch. But you know,
Speaker 2: a fifty five underclassmen got like an exemption to declare
Speaker 2: for the draft. A lot of them might be in
Speaker 2: the Senior Bowl. Senior Bow is gonna be a good
Speaker 2: rock good uh, a lot of great players. But I
Speaker 2: think I still think Jackson Dart's gonna be above them all.
Speaker 2: And she George choosing the Shrine Bowl. It's very interesting.
Speaker 2: See people are gonna decide, I would I rather be
Speaker 2: in Alabama? Would I rather be in Texas? And that's
Speaker 2: what some of these players are gonna if their agents
Speaker 2: haven't already told them, like, hey, bro, you're better off
Speaker 2: going to Texas and playing in the Shrine. You're gonna
Speaker 2: be You're not. You're gonna be overshadowed by the quarterback
Speaker 2: group in a mobile. That's just me though, pretty much.
Speaker 2: You cosh football all right? Well?
Speaker 1: Up next as always touchdowns or turnover? You got anything
Speaker 1: you want to drop. I know we're going off the
Speaker 1: cup this week.
Speaker 2: We'll just pick three touchdown and turnover. I got one.
Speaker 2: So the Colts are going to be playing in Berlin, Germany.
Speaker 2: The Indianapolis coach touchdown the turnover playing in Berlin? Uh touchdown?
Speaker 2: Think about that camera. Yeah, I don't, I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't need to make the convictions between nine season
Speaker 1: they clan.
Speaker 2: But yeah, like, think about the team, close your eyes
Speaker 2: and think about the team you would pay to go
Speaker 2: overseas to see.
Speaker 1: Are the Colts even like fifth on that list? No,
Speaker 1: definitely not see they have a black Florida quarterback and
Speaker 1: a black running back, and black receivers and black everything
Speaker 1: actually except their head coach.
Speaker 2: White offensive line though that's the funniest part. They go
Speaker 2: all white offensive line. If I'm not mistaken, it's Indiana though,
Speaker 2: damn wine a piece did together until just now. Crazy work.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I think it's a touchdown for the Colts.
Speaker 2: But thoms, if they end up playing the Jaguars, they're
Speaker 2: gonna they're gonna have to pair them with like the
Speaker 2: Vikings or somebody good like that game worked a couple
Speaker 2: of years ago when they had it overseas. So who knows, y'all.
Speaker 2: Wan Uh, let's see.
Speaker 1: Robert Salah is still getting coaching consideration from teams like
Speaker 1: the Cowboys and the Raiders. Uh, touchdown or turnover to
Speaker 1: do a lot of people think you shouldn't even been fired.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna.
Speaker 1: Say it's a turnover. I mean, I know people think
Speaker 1: he didn't get fired, but like, and he had a
Speaker 1: one playoff season with the Jets, Like, I don't know,
Speaker 1: they were kind of a shit show the whole time
Speaker 1: he was there.
Speaker 2: So yeah, for me, I don't know, Sla is the guy.
Speaker 1: Uh, the Cowboys are interviewing Killing Moore touchdown the turnover.
Speaker 2: Say that again, so I know I heard it correctly.
Speaker 2: The Cowboys are interviewing Keilling Moore for their coaching job.
Speaker 2: I'm glad you didn't say Dian again. Yeah, honestly, that's
Speaker 2: a pretty solid fit he worked before. I think he
Speaker 2: could be a front runner. I got one. So apparently
Speaker 2: Dion Sanders said he would welcome an offer from the
Speaker 2: Cowboys to be their coach, like there's mutual interest. But
Speaker 2: after this report came out, apparently he went to Colorado
Speaker 2: and asked a D or whatever for more money, and
Speaker 2: that shit was met with pure dismissal. Right, fuck you
Speaker 2: mean boy, you're back on the field and get us
Speaker 2: a Bowl win first. Like, so, his request to have
Speaker 2: more money for him and his staff was totally rejected,
Speaker 2: according to multiple reports. And now he's saying almost definitely
Speaker 2: he wouldn't turn down an offer. So the whole romanticism
Speaker 2: of Dion to the Cowboys touchdown or turnover. I think.
Speaker 1: This one's tough for me because I think Dion's would
Speaker 1: turnover only because I feel like a lot of this
Speaker 1: back and forth interest rumor speculation is coming from him,
Speaker 1: right because he said he was interested in the Raiders job,
Speaker 1: but there's been no reports that they've actually interviewed him.
Speaker 1: So for me, I think a lot of this could
Speaker 1: be coming from Dion himself. And honestly, I mean, why
Speaker 1: would you want to go to the Cowboys? Isn't the
Speaker 1: whole point to coach Suder. I don't think the Cowboys
Speaker 1: are gonna be able to get up to the top
Speaker 1: ten or top five, top three, even top two trade Dak. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but even that's a steep climb, even with training Dak.
Speaker 1: It's still a lot of pieces got to fall into
Speaker 1: place for that to happen. And I feel like, if
Speaker 1: that's the goal, there's other better opportunities to do that.
Speaker 2: And honestly, I don't know if these clubs really want
Speaker 2: to pair them two up like that.
Speaker 1: Like I think part of what these teams are going
Speaker 1: to be looking for is, you know, one can Shader
Speaker 1: do it on his own but two, you know, we'll
Speaker 1: fring him from kind of that constant influence and grasp
Speaker 1: without actually making better, you know.
Speaker 2: So I think a lot of teams are going to
Speaker 2: be thinking.
Speaker 1: About that, and that's part of why, you know, Dionne
Speaker 1: is saying, you know, certain teams are blacklisted and he
Speaker 1: can only go to certain teams because he wants him
Speaker 1: to go to a team where he can have influence,
Speaker 1: some weight, and hang around. So yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I think it's a turnover for both dion and the Cowboys. Honestly,
Speaker 1: as far as Kellen Moore though, I mean that stuff
Speaker 1: to say, that's a touchdown only because you could already
Speaker 1: have that guy. He was already there in the organization
Speaker 1: and you kind of just gave up on him.
Speaker 2: I can see Kellam on the Raiders. They were kind of.
Speaker 1: Talking about him being the Garrett heir, and then Hereferd
Speaker 1: with Boise stay and then he was like, no, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna stay here another year and try to get this job,
Speaker 1: and then it didn't work out, and now he's in
Speaker 1: Philly and Philly's balling and now you want him.
Speaker 2: So I think it's kind of a turnover for Dallas definitely,
Speaker 2: But I'm kell the moron'd signed before. But if I'm
Speaker 2: a guy, I might consider Chicago.
Speaker 1: Well, if I'm a guy like Kella Moore, I mean,
Speaker 1: you saw this ship show what that place is, so
Speaker 1: I don't know if I would sign up for that again.
Speaker 1: And also also like if you're an offensive coach, this
Speaker 1: is kind of a tangent, but put yourself in the
Speaker 1: mind of an offensive coach, like do you want to
Speaker 1: go somewhere that already has the chess pieces in place
Speaker 1: and you gotta kind of maneuver and finesse and connect
Speaker 1: the dots, or do you want to go somewhere where
Speaker 1: you kind of have to have a blank cover but
Speaker 1: you get to build and designer how you want to build,
Speaker 1: Like how how would you feel in that situation?
Speaker 2: It's just it's to Kevin Stefanski dilemma. Great Oc went
Speaker 2: to Cleveland, he didn't build most that roster out that
Speaker 2: roster was already there and he had Sean Watson and
Speaker 2: it was supposed to work, and it didn't. Mark Cooper
Speaker 2: and now he's gone still got Nick Jubb e went
Speaker 2: off of they are blown out knee. So if you
Speaker 2: break it down, I'd rather have the full cover. I'd
Speaker 2: rather if I'm Kevin Moore, if Ben Johnson was to
Speaker 2: go to Chicago, I'm going to Chicago and the defense
Speaker 2: is great. We'll add some more pieces in the draft,
Speaker 2: high ranking pieces in the draft, to get the youth
Speaker 2: in fusion.
Speaker 1: I think that's a better spot for in than Dallas.
Speaker 1: I like the I liked it a lot. Actually, Kellen
Speaker 1: Moore to the Raiders even Nah, I don't like it.
Speaker 2: Theres Kevin Moore. Kellen Moore is a great was the great,
Speaker 2: one of the greatest college quarterbacks ever. I know, great coach.
Speaker 2: Look what he's done with Look what he's done with
Speaker 2: the Eagles. He's managed to make that offense fluid for sure,
Speaker 2: and not stagnant. I trust him in charge it off
Speaker 2: and A. J. Brown are crowning every single week. Yeah,
Speaker 2: Dallas go to get more touches. Sakwan got two thousand
Speaker 2: fucking yards. You got to give Kellen Moore his props.
Speaker 2: He's like, oh, Doug Martin, I had one of you, guys,
Speaker 2: Doug Martin, take you.
Speaker 1: Got anything off the top of your head, all right, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'll give you one, all right. So the twelve Los
Speaker 1: Angeles team's pieced up to donate to firefighter relief. Together
Speaker 1: they put together eight million dollars. Take your tangent on that.
Speaker 2: That's cool. I mean I want to know what these
Speaker 2: insurance companies are gonna do.
Speaker 1: Actually, a couple of them have come out and said
Speaker 1: they're gonna honor insurance, and then they're walking back the
Speaker 1: whole Yeah, we're about to cancel and terminate a lot
Speaker 1: of your people's policies and stuff like that. So we'll
Speaker 1: see how it pans out.
Speaker 2: But so far, that's the the stance they're taking.
Speaker 1: I think someone got into their air and was just like, hey,
Speaker 1: look at the optics of this, Like.
Speaker 2: They're gonna kill a lot of people by doing this. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so they've since renicked. All right, so USC defensive coordinator
Speaker 2: before you go, hold on, I didn't give mine to
Speaker 2: take your atanage. Oh sorry, I was just.
Speaker 1: Gonna say it's funny that the.
Speaker 2: Chargers started the whole thing like they were the first kind.
Speaker 1: Of team to be like, hey, we're gonna get money
Speaker 1: to this good cause, which not making a lot of
Speaker 1: the cause, but uh they and they gave two hundred thousand,
Speaker 1: and then out of know where, the Vikings were like, oh.
Speaker 2: Here's a mill. The Vikings are like, don't even play here.
Speaker 1: But for some reason, the Vikings actually have like an
Speaker 1: l A fan LA phoning.
Speaker 2: Like they've always kind of had it. Think about part
Speaker 2: of it.
Speaker 1: The colors purple and yellow ties to the Lakers. There's
Speaker 1: no team here. The Vikings played in one of the
Speaker 1: first Super Bowls here, so they're.
Speaker 2: Ap the people of Adrian Peterson and pressonally are I
Speaker 2: want to.
Speaker 1: Say it, I think maybe even they were here before,
Speaker 1: like exceptionally also Grape Street.
Speaker 2: But yeah, so it ties into the gang culture too.
Speaker 2: That's that's weird.
Speaker 1: So I just think it's funny that the Chargers kind
Speaker 1: of started it and then everyone just kind of started
Speaker 1: upstaging them, and then everyone was like, Hey, it's not
Speaker 1: about who's giving more, it's about we're all doing it together.
Speaker 2: So either way, man, props to the LA sports teams
Speaker 2: for coming together.
Speaker 1: It's a good it's a good thing. The people need it,
Speaker 1: the first responders needed for sure. There's some people on
Speaker 1: the news today that we're talking about how they lost
Speaker 1: their house and they're also first responders fighting the fires, so.
Speaker 2: It's like, yeah, that's some sad shit. It's a crazy
Speaker 2: time for them. I'm sure, all right, next one? All right?
Speaker 2: So shit, I lost the second one, hold on, hold on.
Speaker 2: So USC defensive coordinator Dance and Land got a contrast
Speaker 2: extension from USC, got got got a nice little fat
Speaker 2: pay race to stay at SEE and Taylor Mays got
Speaker 2: the safety job at at Washington. Sue Craven's came out
Speaker 2: and said, how come more former USC grades are getting
Speaker 2: looks and coaching or even being hired by USC. And
Speaker 2: that's like, damn, that's a good point. So USC hiring
Speaker 2: more of their alumni to actually become, you know, coaches
Speaker 2: on staff instead of constantly cycling through all the money
Speaker 2: they have of paying people. Got a touchdown her turnover,
Speaker 2: so they you're asking if it's a touchdown or turnover?
Speaker 2: Got paid that They let an assistant go, but they
Speaker 2: kept a decordinator. And Lincoln Ridley's going into year four
Speaker 2: and USC's damn it broke because he was getting other
Speaker 2: interviews and calls. Yeah, I mean I think.
Speaker 1: It's a touchdown because he's already team hopped defensive coordinator.
Speaker 1: Defensive coordinator, Like he's already made that lotteral move and
Speaker 1: he can't really go much higher than USC in the
Speaker 1: Big Ten as far as college football. As a defensive coordinator,
Speaker 1: the next step would be a head coach. Now he's
Speaker 1: probably at the stage where he's getting some of those
Speaker 1: calls and looks, but it's probably for the lower tier
Speaker 1: programs with limited limited resources. So he and they say, hey,
Speaker 1: I'm better off just being here. I've got my system
Speaker 1: in place, I've got some recruits coming, I've got plans
Speaker 1: I wanted on how to build on the year before,
Speaker 1: because I mean, ultimately, he didn't get that chance because.
Speaker 2: He moved from UCLA to USC.
Speaker 1: So now he's got system in place, he's got his
Speaker 1: guys in place, so now you get to really see
Speaker 1: his full potential as a defensive coordinator, which in turn
Speaker 1: for him will result in better head coaching jobs next year.
Speaker 2: Who knows, maybe even to jump to the league. Interesting.
Speaker 2: I mean, I think it's a touchdown for him because
Speaker 2: if you do fire Lincoln, you don't lose the recruits
Speaker 2: and the team that you have because he's gonna be
Speaker 2: the interim head coach. I got one one, last one.
Speaker 2: I guess. The Browns are being sued by the city
Speaker 2: over a possible move from Cleveland to a proposed Dome
Speaker 2: stadium in the suburbs, a two point four billion dollar stadium.
Speaker 1: By the way, I don't know much about that whole situation,
Speaker 1: but I'll say this. I mean, the Browns are already
Speaker 1: kind of cursed based off how they based off how
Speaker 1: they allowed the original Browns to leave. And I think
Speaker 1: there's just a foul stench there with the citizens that
Speaker 1: you know, they don't they just don't want this team
Speaker 1: leveraging their city, like frankly, like they don't want to
Speaker 1: be upawn, Like they don't want their city, their infrastructure
Speaker 1: to be held hostage by a professional sports team again
Speaker 1: or corporate interests exactly so. And I understand that I
Speaker 1: don't I haven't been to the stadium. I don't know
Speaker 1: much about that stadium. I imagine it was new when
Speaker 1: they moved there. If so, that would make it twenty years.
Speaker 1: You know, if it's older than that, there's probably old.
Speaker 1: But you can update stadiums taxpayers. Money isn't always the answer.
Speaker 1: You can finance them.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 1: Speaking of financing, bo Jackson gave up an extortion case
Speaker 1: against his niece where he basically said they harassed him
Speaker 1: tried to extore him for a bunch of money. He
Speaker 1: was awarded twenty million dollars and basically gave it up,
Speaker 1: said no family and forgiving it you used to deal
Speaker 1: out of court.
Speaker 2: But yeah, man, so take her tangent on forgiveness. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm not that forgiving of a person twenty million, somebody
Speaker 2: would have to die or or give me my twenty
Speaker 2: fucking million. So pretty much the other party said that
Speaker 2: we can't.
Speaker 1: This was a miss that and it was a misunderstanding,
Speaker 1: like they didn't know they were supposed to go to court,
Speaker 1: so the court just went to a judgment. But yeah,
Speaker 1: they were able to go to mediation and work it out. Yeah, man,
Speaker 1: what money is he getting back? Just uh yeah, I
Speaker 1: hope whatever he got out of it was worth whatever
Speaker 1: time he spent suing them, because I know it's a
Speaker 1: lot of paperwork, it's a lot of bullshit.
Speaker 2: So you obviously did for a reason, Like you don't
Speaker 2: just hit me with a twenty million dollar fucking judgment,
Speaker 2: like we don't talk first, that's crazy. But uh yeah,
Speaker 2: all right.
Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh is headed for a heart procedure and a
Speaker 1: hip surgery this off season.
Speaker 2: Take your tangent God speed, man, hopefully he actually does
Speaker 2: get some rest calms down. It's been a crazy couple
Speaker 2: couple of years for him, so from a national championship
Speaker 2: to get the Chargers in the playoffs and the fires happened,
Speaker 2: like don't forget the rest investigation. Yeah, yeah, man, he pulls.
Speaker 1: I was looking at him on the sideline and I
Speaker 1: just thought, dang, he doesn't look well.
Speaker 2: Like he wasn't running well.
Speaker 1: He didn't look well, and it was just like dang,
Speaker 1: But yeah, man, I just hope he turns out all right,
Speaker 1: because that's kind of a lot of strain on the body.
Speaker 1: To have a heart procedure big or small is kind
Speaker 1: of a big deal. And oh yeah, hit surgery takes
Speaker 1: his ship ton of recovery on its own. And to
Speaker 1: do those both in the off season while you're trying
Speaker 1: to prep for another year, there's a lot of stress.
Speaker 1: And he's basically been living out of r V the
Speaker 1: past year, had to.
Speaker 2: Move like it's a lot.
Speaker 1: So yeah, hopefully he can recover well, and you know,
Speaker 1: the Chargers won't have any soewbacks because finally look like
Speaker 1: they're building an identity and getting some momentum.
Speaker 2: All right, Yeah, I think that's it anything you want
Speaker 2: to run about. Jim Naggy just ethan a dude on
Speaker 2: Twitter talking about because I guess the guy said, you know,
Speaker 2: Shador went to the Shrine because he doesn't like Jim
Speaker 2: Naggy doesn't respect HBCUs. He's like, you mean the same
Speaker 2: guy who conceptualized the inaugural HBCU combine. You mean the
Speaker 2: same guy who literally put it all together? You mean
Speaker 2: the same guy who uh at the first ever like
Speaker 2: HBCU Coaching Fellowship had an All Star game that the
Speaker 2: Shrine Bowl just ripped off. I was like, damn, bro,
Speaker 2: there's there's real heat between the Senior Bowl and the
Speaker 2: Shrine Bowl. The NFLPA Bowl suffered because of it. Sadly,
Speaker 2: looking like, looking back on what I know now, it's like,
Speaker 2: damn heating the guy. It's crazy new year. Got my
Speaker 2: taxes done, but I to get my teeth fixed. And
Speaker 2: I beat my mom's asking Jim Rummy only took me
Speaker 2: U four games, really three games to figure it out.
Speaker 2: And then the last game I scored like one hundred
Speaker 2: and ninety five points, smoked her. My mom said, I
Speaker 2: let you win. I'll let you win, Son, I let
Speaker 2: you win. I was like, well, don't let me win
Speaker 2: next time. So yeah, shout out to my mom, Shout
Speaker 2: out to my two nephews, Shout out to everybody whose
Speaker 2: apartments were okay from the fires. This last week has
Speaker 2: been crazy, and it's like, I feel like, at least
Speaker 2: in Hawthorne, we've just been going about our day like
Speaker 2: nothing happened. But people they're just you know, they're going
Speaker 2: through some ship like their lives are ruined forever. It's crazy.
Speaker 2: People died in some of those fires, like in other
Speaker 2: parts of the city are completely untouched. Kind of it's
Speaker 2: a shitty feeling, but it's like, you know, it just
Speaker 2: makes you kind of grateful for what you have, for
Speaker 2: what is working. So yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna be
Speaker 2: practicing more gratitude this year. So that's pretty much it
Speaker 2: for me. Yeah, it was a good note. I like
Speaker 2: that one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I don't really have much, just had
Speaker 1: a good weekend, getting to watch the football games with
Speaker 1: the boys, fucked around, went out probably too much than
Speaker 1: we should have, drink some tequila, had some bruise. Overall,
Speaker 1: nobody got hurt and uh, nobody lost their ship. So
Speaker 1: and I guess we're still all friends. So yeah, overall
Speaker 1: successful weekend. Looking forward to just catching up on some
Speaker 1: bullshit and getting my house together. I'm Catholic, so it's
Speaker 1: still Christmas, but gotta wrap all that stuff up.
Speaker 2: So yeah.
