THE DIVISIONAL ROUND IS HERE!

[00:00:01] So, uh, I was, man, what's it? We'll tank this for the children. From five cents, Sports Reports As Ordered is for your grandma. So, I'm saying we back in the building. We got some pics to make tonight because we are in the divisional round of the playoff.

[00:00:25] And then, Toronto finally, finally came up with Pascal Ciaf, as I was asking him to do with the supper. So, we'll get you from it. Yeah, you're first. Six months ago. Yes! You were now listening to the sounds of Sports Reports's Ordered. And it's Thursday night.

[00:00:51] It's not the night for pimps. But it is the night for the one in home. Mr. Lodge. Yeah! Two fives here. And you do after all this time. I still don't know either those two fives of order.

[00:01:11] You don't say that if it's just a thing, I just know that I'm two fives. And I will give you the one opinion of the four people that are here. So, absolutely. No, get it off my chest tonight. We're going to get into some coach talk first.

[00:01:30] And we're going to do that right about now. I'm liking it. I'm liking the coaching care. So, I'm not going to find it first. There was like all these coaches don't deserve to be fired. But I'm liking the moves. Right? We talked about this the other day.

[00:01:48] Like why did they keep each team mainly Atlanta? They keep the Nelson like who they interviewed. And in our other sports group, the hot box set up the hot box shot out. But it's like because they want fans like me or just fans in general to think like

[00:02:08] Y'all were really I hear trying to make it happen. Trying to make these moves. I'm like, I know that and I wanted to take credit for this because I was thinking it but I heard another podcast. It was like Rich Eisen. Yeah, Atlanta interviewed Jim Harbaugh. Great coach.

[00:02:28] They interviewed Bill Bell and check another great coach. Nah, that's not high went. And Rich Eisen said he was like, he. They both interviewed the Falcons. They said that on his day. Hey. I'm glad all you guys are here.

[00:02:46] I'm glad you flew me out in this G5, this G6, the however you got there. So what are you guys going to do going for it? And they probably pitch themselves to Bill and pitch themselves to Jim.

[00:03:00] Everybody else like Brian Johnson shot at the Utah youths, former quarterback, beat Alabama down in Louisiana and sugar bowl back a day 13 and all you tell you, he's coming down to interview for the Atlanta fuck. I was like, I'm like a son of a problem.

[00:03:16] There's only one problem with Brian Johnson. He just had like he was part of one of the biggest collapse. Claps. The son don't shot. Did son don't shot. Yeah. It was like it's hard for you to come in. It's like I remember in high school, right?

[00:03:33] I had to get a drop. We had to get our driver's license and the process was shot at the Virginia Tastay and the Newfounders Club of school system. You did a role, you did the practice driving behind the football stadiums, a big up in Parking Line.

[00:03:46] And then you did a role test to follow in week. It was like eight total days. Well, those are guy who had a learns from it as parents will let them drive like parents from the past see. I'm a drive from down the street to, you know,

[00:04:02] the driving school where they got in the car accident that morning. So I was like, man, is it all right? Yeah, the gaze good. We already signed them up for two more weeks of driving practice because it's fresh.

[00:04:16] It literally just happened to morning you come in the school. So we know you're not ready to drive on your own. Brian Johnson, we just saw the team that went through school last year with a different coordinator. You took over and it did look the same.

[00:04:33] If definitely the look has productive, the touch push was good. But even that didn't work. I've just been ashamed. And then the thing about that, like even that didn't work. So it was like, what you're going to say in this interview,

[00:04:45] that's going to make people forget about last weekend. So it's going to be pretty tough for him. Well, you know, I heard through the great bond that he might be the favorite. Or the other half of sports reports is ordered to. For the commanders, that's what I've heard.

[00:05:08] Him in a Mike McDonald. You're better off going with the enemy. They give up on a pull off a coordinator from any other team. I would at least pull to one that's called plays and three Super Bowls. In the last.

[00:05:26] Well, that mess year four years four years five or six years. They went to an a row. Then they did go and then they went last year. Yeah. So he's called plays and three. Oh, yeah.

[00:05:39] Because they were going to go back to back to back if they were to head on to the lead. They would have gone back to the Super Bowls against some adding. And then it would have been Casey versus Rams and then.

[00:05:49] So what happened, which is what we deserve. They could have held on to the lead, but even with that is like he's put his team in position. Consistently three out of four years and even this year I know sometimes those yards can look like.

[00:06:05] You know empty calorie we saw a back in the last playoff game. But if you're going to pull off in the coordinator from another team. I'm like just pull the enemy just give him a give him a deal that says hey, this is a trial deal.

[00:06:19] If he wants to take a three year. You need 26 million 24 million if but just like let him know again, this is a trial deal. We're trying to figure it out. We want to give you a shot. But I mean, maybe he really just doesn't interview. I'm not sure.

[00:06:37] I mean, he's had at least 18 interviews from what I was tracking. But you know, I mean, Washington could go how that my man over in Houston, right? That was all their staff previously.

[00:06:50] Sometimes you've got to like, I think you've got to you got to protect yourself from yourself and not just go out to who's hot. You know, it's a lot of people that get hot, you know, it's something.

[00:07:06] It's up though when you look back at that staff and like big. Look at Laura. Never get a job of phone call, text message talking sports again. Because he had shenahan McDonald, McVay. What's the boy name that's coaching in Cincinnati? Exactly.

[00:07:27] All those guys were on the staff and it's like you went like five on 11 and you didn't look good ever. And these guys are out here going when they probably like 65% of their games if we added them all up. Yeah.

[00:07:41] 65% of the games and you couldn't what all of that in the room. You could make it pop. So yeah, it's like I say he's in that Mike's military like you never going to get a job like it's evident that it was you and not them.

[00:07:54] And we're with him. And then one dude takes me to school. I haven't heard much about ravals interview pass and I saw that he interviewed with the charges today. So I think he's probably in my opinion. I think he might be one of the hottest.

[00:08:13] Well, I would rank him as the number one guy over bill because it just age. I don't want to jump the gun. But I mean, bravely sound good in Buffalo. They back in really there. You know, Sean McGerm is not the problem. The problem is not coaching.

[00:08:31] I'm not saying he is. I don't know what would have to reach because it's this whole that whole microhazzing that old adage of like if you get rid of him who you're going to get. Yes, there are a lot of guys out there available. But coaches looking like.

[00:08:45] Do I want to go to the team that five the guy who just wanted to vision. Probably like the third, fourth year in a row, give a take. And the team that implode team isn't falling apart. I don't think it's not going to be.

[00:09:08] It's not going to be like the green bay Dallas, anywhere they just get, they look completely over match or how cleanly look against Houston because Cleveland had it like a quarterback as they have there.

[00:09:18] I teach if they if they lose the Kansas City and he's on that sideline next season. He better start off with storm and Normandy. I don't like, I don't think Sean McDermott. I don't think it's hot. He's that bad.

[00:09:34] Well, actually, hold on, let me back up, hold a pause. Let me back up for a second. Out of sports reports is ordered. You were the one that introduced Sean McDermott to the hot seat. I don't, I don't. That was you. I don't believe my dad.

[00:09:52] You definitely did. You definitely did. I was the one saying like,

[00:09:57] I think, okay, based off this year, like based off this year, like based off of like what, you know, the upside down this year and getting the team to lock in lead because that's what it was last year. I felt as if they just.

[00:10:13] They were ahead and they looked unbeatable and then it would just play really bad game. So this year they had they had the up and down the roller coaster with Josh Allen and then they locked in.

[00:10:25] I'm not sure if you get another coach in that and that position. You're paying you by the pay Josh Allen is extension. I think that's starting now. So you're going to try to lose some pieces.

[00:10:37] I'd rather keep the guy who's been here already, who knows all the pieces. Consider that some guys aren't going to get re-signed. Game damage might be a tie to go somewhere like Kansas City because Kansas City is going to need. They're going to need a wire receiver.

[00:10:52] The other team's going to need these little pieces and I think having a coach has been there. Staff has been there that knows all right next man up mentality is real risk because I know this guy is next. Right.

[00:11:03] We get people talk about McCartney coming back and it's like, I personally if I'm Jerry Jones bringing him back means that. Internally. I have to make the determination you know what?

[00:11:21] I need to cut out some of my football responsibilities from his team because if you bring him back. And if you pay back and this is something that Nick Wright said, if you're going to pay back his money next year. It's something like $300 million.

[00:11:37] It's his extension like to sign him to an extension. It's going to be five years to be $100 million. That's the next. Because that puts him at 60 million because Joe Burrow got to get. See, and that's what I said last week because now if that happens.

[00:11:56] Miami got to think about what they're going to do. See what Miami Miami can franchise. I think you're I'm good with if I'm an owner. And I know the going right for a stadium expansion is going to cost me $100 million.

[00:12:14] I know that for a fact to get extra seats and concessions whatever the case may be new parking lot. You'll cost me $100 million. I'm good with that number because it's 100 million has gotten me locked in.

[00:12:27] If I need a new stadium and I know it's going to cost me $2 billion and I got to do a lot more movement of money to get to the two billion.

[00:12:36] Then I'm going to be like, okay, is it worth it to go $2 billion for the new stadium or $100 million to extend his current money?

[00:12:43] What would two of what they're in that boat was like, is it going to hurt me to franchise him this year and next year and pay him potentially.

[00:12:54] We're looking at like 95 million over two years because you get to tie every the top three and I have to tie five every the top three top five right now. Burrow, Herbert Allen. Allen has gone in yet, right? I think his starts. I think it started right now.

[00:13:13] That's why I think he's getting its 50 but he got a six year to 50 so like that. So you're somewhere around 52 million dollars paying to a five and then it that science for 60.

[00:13:25] My home's restructures he signs for he probably will do 50 70 to the team of favor and then burrow so that 55 now you're paying to another 50. I'm going to pay him a hundred million dollars the next couple of years. That's better than potentially, pan.

[00:13:39] I'm 300 with 220 of a guaranteed to see if you can make me Daniel's offense work with the speedy guys that you're paying already. Right.

[00:13:49] So I think they're like then there but like with with Dallas if you're going to pay that 60 million and you're going to run it back in McCarthy then that means Jerry has to be like, alright somebody in here is a problem.

[00:14:00] And it's looking like me because I'm not only doing as being here since the mid 90s so last we're all so it's where and that's where I'm confused because you hear all these crazy stats like green Bay has more wind and AT&T stadium than Dallas does everybody.

[00:14:16] Yeah, yeah, you know all the all the cowboy fans are quick to tell you that might McCarthy went 12 and 5 3 years in a row and it look.

[00:14:26] It's hard to win right so I'm not even trying to act like I'm not trying to act like it's just zero some game that you have to win somebody else has to fall all that stuff but you went 12 and 5 3 years in a row and got one play off when in that period.

[00:14:42] You know what I mean something's a muck here you don't have made and you went out and got Brandon cooks you went out and got stifong Gilmore. You know so it's not necessarily a personnel thing now we know digs got hurt this year.

[00:14:57] Blanned step in admirably had all proceeds and I'll prove these. Please, that was a wash that was a wash it didn't hurt right now next year. You know, you know, you're not a smaller linebackers and he said man is linebackers we couldn't get off the blocks.

[00:15:14] Yeah, they were. And that's where like for me I understand like if it were me if it were me. I would probably let McCarthy go but this is the problem even if you let McCarthy go what changes if the structure is the same if the period.

[00:15:33] That's the thing yeah, McCarthy was thing is I mean I think you could do a sting. Jerry has to really look Jerry is to even have to look like yo do we have too many people who are yes men. And this upper echelon of our leadership team. Right.

[00:15:55] Do we have because you need you need somebody is going to tell you you need a two five and you team you need a guy like me that's logical.

[00:16:03] You need someone else can look at and say hey I think we should bring McCarthy back because X, Y and Z and nothing user reasons. And then you need someone that's going to be like no this is why you shouldn't bring them back.

[00:16:13] That way you have a couple of things to think about and then you can lean on these people to give you their outside of the community because you're paying on the situation already different in mind.

[00:16:23] So now if I'm if I'm Jerry I'm sitting there but okay I got this guy's opinion that I trust this guy's opinion that trust neither one of my last name Jones neither one of our advocates because they are my kids or my nephew or my daughter or my son and law or anything like that.

[00:16:39] If you can separate that you can make decisions because I don't I don't know if Robert Crab has a son on staff maybe does but we don't hear by him in the draft room. You know I don't know of cranky and LA and less need or related.

[00:16:56] I appreciate it. And I felt as a copycat league right you know they started the wild cat everybody did that you know in work are the RPO everybody's doing RPO.

[00:17:07] Well you know you got Miami out here you know shout out the president say put their on this nugget all be trying to build their own little San Francisco whatever you got Washington.

[00:17:19] Just when they got a GM from San Francisco you know so like not saying that Dallas needs to copy the San Francisco blueprint but just look around the league and see what's successful like there are new.

[00:17:33] And we have such cap of a one plenty of playoff games last few years and it's not like a number of games like oh they got one playoff like they have a super bowl appearance another playoff game granddad time range.

[00:17:49] You know you have green bay made to play us a couple years in row with Aaron had hosted industry championship game Kansas City has five straight Aves and championship games hosted at home since that he has a couple playoff runs after the quarterback at injured so it's just like.

[00:18:09] What are these guys doing that we aren't and I think the biggest thing is I don't know of any other team where the owner is the GM.

[00:18:18] I don't like if it is the case that's the case but like I don't know it in the reason I know what with Dallas is because the owner slash GM is always on TV talking about how successful a team is going to be in January February all the time which brings me to Pittsburgh.

[00:18:38] What we doing like like I'm not saying look call him Denver and saying hey, I'm just kind of checking if you're seen us Russ. Like like you know how I feel like I feel the same way that you feel about my topic. But but facts are facts.

[00:19:00] That was a very long time ago. That's a super bowl. 2010 was a very long time ago that's when they lost to the Packers. When was the last time he was under 500 as a coach. Never.

[00:19:13] Okay, when was the last time he had a top five quarterback on his roster. 2013. Same word now same word. Starts with the end ends with an R never. It was a top of quarterback. You don't get so. Then was never a top five quarterback. Never.

[00:19:31] You're not saying I'm not saying whether he was a wasn't I'm just thinking about it right now. Just think about it. Even if that's the case. That's one out of 17 years at a top five quarterback. Give me a ton. I was excited. I'll tell you something real.

[00:19:48] If you keep going, I'll keep going. Yeah, because I keep going. I'm going. How many times did he have a do name? Duck. He did have a do. They duck. Hey, he had an Antonio Brown.

[00:20:04] He had Mason Rudolph in position to get the ball back to tie the game against Buffalo. When they were down 21 nothing at that point.

[00:20:16] He had he had that team in position to tie the game up at 24 if the rep doesn't call the rough in the pass or or the unnecessary rough even though early in a game Josh Allen fake the slide on this 50 to your touchdown that put them up 21 nothing.

[00:20:33] That's all about that. So I'm saying that I don't think you should pick a coach because the coach is going to be just. You know, because he's just making these tents.

[00:20:42] Just like picking up on an supervisor that's going to get you that's going to get you 10 million dollars off your 100,000 dollar investment you want to get you money on your investment and not lose you money ever. All right, so just quick question.

[00:20:56] Okay, this question is do not determine whether Ben Rothersburgers a top five quarterback or not I'm just asking a question. Okay, you know, where do you think he ranks in all town passing yards. Probably six. Where do you think he ranks all time and passing touchdown seven.

[00:21:19] So fifth and I mean, it yards and eighth and touchdowns. Okay, you know, so you mean six seventh and eight and parts. All right, so passing yards. So he's fifth, right? You said a yard. Yeah, he's fifth the yard. So I mean, passing yards. You said a thing.

[00:21:43] So six is Philip Rivers. Okay, it was a little bit of an elite in any year. Any year was Philip Rivers every top five quarterback in a lead. I think the answer to that question depends on if you think you got a problem with broker or not.

[00:21:57] You got to put them. You got what Brady Rogers. Brady Rogers, Breeze Manning. Well, manny wasn't there. Like he wasn't there to hold some delivers. No, for Roblesburger. Yeah, many I'm talking about like so if you look at Philip Rivers career started pretty much

[00:22:15] 2004 or five when we were on the same draft. It would be like sometimes about if it's Philip Rivers was he ever a top five quarterback in the lead. You got to keep on.

[00:22:27] You got to put them ahead of Breeze Manning Rogers Brady at any point in his career. So amazing. So look, so look at the pens because there's people out here will get back to the coaches, but this is kind of our teams and you go on.

[00:22:42] Well, well, well, people get technical and they try to ask apples and I get it. I get it. Well, what I'm just saying, they try to scheme because once you say somebody's a top five quarterback or whatever, they'll keep you there even if you're not there anymore.

[00:22:58] Yeah, but I'm assuming was it. If you ever think any time would you have Roblesburger, baby, Roblesburger, maybe I would say Philip River. No, okay, so that's Philip Rivers and he's six all time a yard. So who seven seven is Matt Ryan?

[00:23:15] Is Matt Ryan like he want MVP. That was an MVP year. But like I'm a thought in the span. I wouldn't argue that he was top five. He put up like yards. Right. Marino. Okay, yeah, he's top five at some point. Aaron Rogers. Aaron Rogers. Top five.

[00:23:37] Aaron Rogers is less yards than Roblesburger? Yep. And then number 10, you ready for this one? You probably already know this one though. Number 10. And you live, manning. Yes. That's the league of interceptions three times. So if you think about.

[00:23:54] Tomless tenure and I'm not saying Ben Roblesburger wasn't for it. It's it's if he's a top six quarterback in the league, he is a top six person on earth at his position. I think people kind of forget that piece. For example, five or top 10.

[00:24:10] But look at the but okay, if you gave. If you look at Tom, let me just say if you look at Tomman. Did he last up a 10? Yeah. So if I'm looking to move away from Tomman. Okay. Considering if I looked back, it was entire tenure.

[00:24:35] The playoff victories, you know, here they're the Super Bowl of victory has he had the firepower necessary to really can post the vision around the field. So if I fire him, what am I firing him for? If I'm letting him go, what is my advisor?

[00:25:03] What am I going to tell him like hey, I have the power to fire Tomman. I need to like, I need to know what I am doing it for. Like the problem with that you don't have playoff wins. The problem is that. He's the blueprint to.

[00:25:24] The gift in the curse, you know, because Pittsburgh is a city full of knowledgeable, die hard football fans that understand the things that you're talking about. They have a high standard for their football team. They are they were the first team.

[00:25:39] Yes, they were the first team in the NFL to win six Super Bowls. You don't even get one of them six burq. You know, as they call themselves. That's what they call it there with their songs. Yeah, it's not the top of the pizza.

[00:25:51] But but then when you look at it, the curse is the Steelers have a brand of football that they don't deviate from. But if you have a quarterback that can make we saw right, but that's the problem. They don't go get free agents. They don't do free agency.

[00:26:11] That's like three days. We agree, but we agree. We agree. That was a big deal. So now check this out. Now imagine this, you have a coach that is taking. Ramen noodles. You know, give you go and give you gourmet meals. Right.

[00:26:32] And you're like, oh, well, he's not giving people aren't buying all the gourmet meals. He's making a kill, but he's taking ramen noodles and giving you gourmet. Right. And then you're going to bring in the office of coordinator from the Rams to be your hey coach.

[00:26:49] Because you think you need points, but he can't speak. He can't leave men to wait Mike Tom the Ken. So now what are you going to get out of it? Because you still don't have the free agent. The city's not prick. There's a dope city. I've been there.

[00:27:02] I like it. You come to the mountain and the city just opens up. It's a great look in city. People are very friendly. It's a dope city. Everything's right there because seeing those there at a hotel, it's a dope city.

[00:27:11] I don't know if it's dope enough to get free agents. And you can see for all the years all this success is like, I had he has been able to land the top free agents.

[00:27:22] They just draft the Fincerly well because you can you can make an impact defensively because you can pick so many different players that could make an impact without each other's help.

[00:27:33] Offensively, you got to get the quarterback that gets above the YC versus if you don't get that right because Kenny Pick is not the answer. But if you don't get it right, it makes a whole offensive terrible.

[00:27:43] I can pick two or three good defensive linemen, two linebackers, a couple of corners in a safety and every I can make the whole defense work and I think that's what he's done.

[00:27:54] They need to figure out a way to get the quarterback there either for maybe a one or two off seasons. Change their philosophy on offense as far as like who they're going to go get. But I don't think getting rid of Tom and solves your problem.

[00:28:13] No, it doesn't but you know what I'm saying, but I just think that there's a discussion to be had when your franchise like that that has a winning pedigree. You just have the conversation. I'm not saying that you fire him. I'm not saying that you have tough conversations.

[00:28:30] But I don't think I don't think he's involved. I don't think anything about his employment should be involved in that conversation at all because I don't think he I out of respect for what he's done for your team. You can't even introduce that conversation because without him.

[00:28:49] Look at like Bill Valle's like great coach. He's a market. He's a guy. Look when he's a girl. Four years. Look when he looked like his time, Ray left. I mean, just look at the differences that he's the GM2. But once again, he's a defensive guru.

[00:29:09] He, how many years did he go under 500 and the last three years? Like he might he's the greatest coach of all time. And I'm not not going to be a bellachick.

[00:29:19] But I'm saying even he would his picture away in all the standards that come with the pictures and their six Super Bowl rings that they have. He still couldn't do because him and Tom are basically the same boat.

[00:29:32] If you swap their teams, they're pretty much apples of apples there. So he took what New England has in the same conference. And went above 500 every single year. And the last four years, hell he made he didn't intend the pit spurs. It was went 10 and 7 this year.

[00:29:56] They're quarterback that they drafted two years ago. Doesn't have multiple games of multiple touchdown passes. It's the gloves, man. It's something. But there are certain guys that deserve like staley. Staley deserved the lose his job.

[00:30:15] Not deserve the job, but a conversation with the board of directors is like, why are we getting rid of this guy? Like well, in big moments and regular season and big moments to regular season games he folds. He's with your loss.

[00:30:31] Like that guy's soda game was a loss. He snatches the feet from the jaws of victory. So you have evidence and information. That's just one game because I know people want to fire my car at the offer.

[00:30:47] The green big game last week and it's like, the guys got 36 wins in the last three seasons. Yes, the playoff short coming up. One playoff win very tough. I get that. Make a championship game. Where are you going to go? You want to see this year.

[00:31:10] Every all these teams that have all these teams that won double digit games that didn't get this success. Only two teams play for Super Bowl. Only one team wins it.

[00:31:22] If they would have won last week, you can't be your benchmark to whether or not you're going to keep the coach. If they were to have the trade coming in this week. And they could potentially the trade because that guy reported to the off to the.

[00:31:36] They're the rough. So that's what I'm saying. I just I don't really say that's what same thing was serianity. People want to get rid of serianity. After if they. If they. If they want to get rid of story. Because this is the biggest collapse that we've seen.

[00:31:54] From a team of that magnitude. How do you fix it? How do you know how do you fix that? How do you fix that? Like what happened this season, it Philadelphia? How do you fix that? You just fired a coordinator to start over again.

[00:32:08] How do you fix that? They put in Matt Patricia. That was supposed to be the answer. I would go around taking stuff off of, you know, remove it all the team stuff. Yeah. You know, you got jelly hurt. It's not even okay.

[00:32:22] All that stuff all from when building your sign of contract for $240 million. $131 billion. Hey, boy, I'm trying to tell you. It's all proud of this company. I have a grandchild.

[00:32:35] And by grandson's mother, she took my son's picture of Instagram four years ago when he broke up in high school. What is she taking back the money? He had a great season this season because internally I'm not sure if I'm talking,

[00:32:53] if I'm trying to say you serious job, I'm going to say listen, man, we were a pot return. Don't ask. And a penalty away from having a real like without the penalty. Kansas City goes up 30 years. They have 10 points.

[00:33:11] I can't point Lee at a 10 point Lee in Super Bowl, but you, you, against a team of real peters. They did. Uh huh. They just have real petigree, but even that that pass was probably uncatchable.

[00:33:26] I'm not sure if you, turns up field and gets close to that ball. Does he slow down and show that he's being held yet does the white shirt be extended? 12 inches from his body help getting the call probably.

[00:33:42] But if they don't call that, I think Kansas City is kicking that fill goal with what about a minute 40 left, minute 30. Yeah, nobody was it was like a minute eight. I think when the penalty happened when the, so they're up there.

[00:33:58] There, there over a minute at least one time out left. Kansas City's kicking a fill goal. They have a real shot moving the ball down a field. Kansas City can stop the run all day and they would get big chunks.

[00:34:08] Jail and rolling out running, getting out of bounds. I think they can, they can move the ball and get in full go position or even get another big playway. J. Brown. So that call happens. Kansas City kicks a fill goal game since it over. They started next season.

[00:34:24] They started out 10 and 1 and they had the collapse. Are you going to fire him solely off the last two months? Because the guy you bring in next was his standard. Well, this is what we don't know. We just don't know what actually happened.

[00:34:40] You know, but somebody in that building knows what happened. You know, Rosemidd knows what happened. Lori knows what happened or what was going on. Like I said to me, I was like, I felt the same way as you.

[00:34:53] Like why are you trying to fire Serriani until like I said for me, the moment was Jail and her sit on the bench top of the night. When I think of my B1, those things is like, you can say all that over there.

[00:35:08] I get that, but that's not Jail with her. That's not the Jail and her. That we've seen. I don't think he's ever been confrontation though. No, I'm not saying like I said Tuesday. He's not a raw raw guy.

[00:35:19] Like he's not like a, you know, in your face or whatever. But at the same time, he to me, he speaks up. He just does it. Maybe politically, I mean, not politically. That's the wrong word. Tackfully. He doesn't tackfully and respectfully versus like a T.O.

[00:35:36] Getting up in your face and saying, I love you. I'm going to say, you know, say like, you know, but when I saw him on the bench, looking like John Wick after he found the dog got shot. I was just like, yo, it was that. I've been right.

[00:35:53] Look, and that's if you're in the almost anti Serriani camp, but if you're in the pro party way of the Serriani versus keeping Serriani, those are the things you can point out. Like I said with my Tomlin,

[00:36:08] it's not a lot you can point out this that definitive that we saw publicly. You can, you can say we had an eternal expectation as a stealers organization. I think the first day they had was AB recorded in the locker room.

[00:36:23] That was like, yeah, but I'm talking about like this season. You could be like, oh, we thought we were going to do better. We thought Piqui was going to take that leap. Well, that defense wasn't that bad this year. You know what I mean?

[00:36:34] But also the offense put the advantage of the system. I mean, I think they could look at their preseason expectations based off of their recent success. Going from night from four wins firing the coach,

[00:36:51] not innate with this young coach going to the Super Bowl in the second year and starting off 10 and 1. I think their expectations were aligned with the record. And then when things started kind of fall apart, now you can look and say, you know what?

[00:37:06] Was this guy really the driving force or the two coordinators we lost? So you could come up with a bunch of questions if you're feeling. I then get back to we could both argue you can argue for against them.

[00:37:19] I could argue for him and we could sit down and say, right now. Now that we got that information out. What's the best decision going forward? Because you I think you can involve serianism, point men in your conversation because of the way that season ended.

[00:37:34] And if my time in season ended the way it did, then you can go back and extrapolate all the years of success and say, it's a team, stay on him. This is not a ball. It's he not a ball.

[00:37:46] But the fact that he went up and wins with lesser caliber quarterback play. It's okay. It's obviously he got something here with serianism. He's kind of an abacarthe field, but McCarthy consistently got wins. Maybe because he's back in CD, but he coach teams to victories, calling the plays.

[00:38:11] Serianism doesn't call the plays. So it was like what exactly do you do here? Like office space style and what exactly do you do here? Are you with fans and make faces? And then his antics were cute when they were winning.

[00:38:25] It was cute when it was the day it's used. Now you look immature, right? Because it's all good when you're doing this. And that ain't never good. That ain't never good. It's a two five, but it's all good to high five and dance

[00:38:43] and do all this stuff when you're up. But you do that when the score is 45, 21 after you score. It doesn't look the same. Same movement, same thing. The circumstances around it are different. So I think that's the piece with some of his coaches in their movement. Right.

[00:39:05] One of those guys was like okay, it might be time. It might be time. It's been up and down here there. We got the quarterback. You just got so much for the score. I don't want this far as quarterbacks though.

[00:39:16] But like he had the number one see what is what his whole conglomerate. Right, right. They didn't succeed but they played tough. They were tough out there, tough defensive teams. So it was like he didn't have a consistent niche that he can really

[00:39:30] rest his head on like every year our defense is top three. Right. I do that every year we win eight games. You know, he didn't have that feather in his cap. And I still take him in Washington. But that's what it says.

[00:39:45] It doesn't make him a bad coach. It just shows for that relationship. We're not giving each other enough. Right. You gave me these quarterbacks. I didn't want you signed a big contract with another quarterback. I don't think really fits my philosophy. You won't pay to run it back.

[00:39:59] That fits my philosophy. But you want me to coach it, but then you trade away my seat. You know, so it's like you just make this different mood. You trade away the best why I received where you bring the guy in. And he's a good decision. Exactly. Yeah.

[00:40:14] So that's a little different. Yeah. I get it, you know. So good talk. Yeah. That's the best one I've heard. I watched a lot of shows. I don't think he might talk that. I'm petting us on the back sometimes.

[00:40:27] We should ask it sometimes you got to be proud of yourself. She's like, I know what to do. You need to serve. We're humble here. No, no. I'm proud of myself. I'm proud of myself. All right. You're incredible. All right. That was the second. That's the very first.

[00:40:42] Remember I had a question for you to other night that I said we was going to wait for tonight? Okay. I'm waiting. I'm going to get it wrong. But keep on. No, it's not a quick. Okay.

[00:40:52] Which team which higher seed is the most likely to lose this weekend? Buffalo. What the what? Yeah. I just I just I thought about it. I think that this is the bullshit because I swear to other day we had this conversation. I wasn't sure.

[00:41:09] How I said, I said if we don't say Buffalo. You don't say it because that's the end when I say it. That's the easiest. That's what I can really think. I mean. Okay. Well, fine. Don't give me Baltimore. Give me Baltimore.

[00:41:26] But like I said when that Baltimore conversation you would have to. You would have to say that Baltimore does something. Wrong. That's outside of the norm. Yeah, let's talk about that. Look. But it's a Buffalo.

[00:41:45] The reason I'll pick Buffalo is because we talked about it in our little pre-meaning. To be previous year. Well, I think the odds are like negative 20,000 for minus 20,000 for the margin. I mean you got a bit. Yes. That's what he thought was the dollars to 100.

[00:42:00] That's what that means. We talked about betting. That means he's such a lot. You got a bit 20 grand and 100. Yeah. So the guy that's a lot to win MVP is one and three into playoffs. Oh, and two at home. You know, he is.

[00:42:14] He has missed the last two playoffs due to injury. He's been sitting for about three weeks now. And we've seen what he looks like when he comes back rusty. When I look at who the Ravens lost through this year.

[00:42:30] I am not counting week 18 because you know, the sailors that they nobody played their starters. But their losses are too gusts Bradley held up the 19 points. You know, they have a loss to the Steelers out of the 10 points. They have a loss too now.

[00:42:48] They scored some points in this game. But Jim sports when they had a 13 point lead on the Browns and the Browns came back and beat them. And that game and the Indianapolis game were both in Baltimore. Are you want to hear the funny stat real quick?

[00:43:03] You'll just keep going Baltimore had the lead and every single game they played with less than two minutes of the game. Yeah. So at no point, where they ever overwhelmed by the opponent, some other games. You don't have to be one games.

[00:43:22] You don't have to be, you know, you just need a Jonathan Grinar and Will Anderson to make Lamar take off a few seconds earlier than he wants to. This is why I call him too far. You're okay.

[00:43:35] This is this is, you know, as I mentioned, I said what I said, right, Jim sports, Gus Bradley and the Steelers, right? Who's the head coach of the Houston Texans? To make a run.

[00:43:51] Is he or is he not a defense of genius in a game like this and a game like this? I feel like people of his ilk take stopping Lamar Jackson as a challenge. Yeah, the old 13 games and every one had to stop.

[00:44:14] It's a lot of things in the industry. It's not it's just what it's what it is. It's what we saw the 9 and 7 giants go to Super Bowls. We saw 9 and 7 Steelers go to Super Bowls. These things happen and by the way. You saw the 90s in Arizona,

[00:44:29] you know, I'm not saying that it will happen. I'm just saying that when I look across the landscape here because what I look the only thing that I don't like for Houston in this game is the weather. You know, it's going to be about 25 degrees.

[00:44:48] Baltimore's got some snow going on as we speak. You know, that'll be clear that one on Eastwood. But you know, I think they close in schools here. Jerry, Matt and somebody's going to trickle down and then yeah, point blank blank the AFCB on some bullshit.

[00:45:05] You don't say like you're allowed out. You don't say what? When I look at green Bay right because they fit that mold of the giants of Arizona like the hot team. They came into the plate because I Jordan love says they played the chargers back on November 19.

[00:45:23] It's 21 touchdowns in one interception. And that counts the game. I see two against Kansas City to dogs. Yeah, yeah, we're on a dobs. It was. I'm probably covered three so we had a guy underneath. Safety corner and he threw it off his back foot.

[00:45:50] I think it might have been a fourth down conversion to it was like when I was fourth and three, like in the year, like in that, do we kick the field goal? Do we punt? Do we go for it back foot?

[00:46:01] Do with the dives he caught at think Eric, So put a good hit on him. I was like. Yeah, it was. I just. It was Rogers. It was Rogers. If I say so myself. It's a lot of throws that look a lot like that.

[00:46:14] Maybe just make I'm okay as baseball on his background. He does seem to be comfortable. And you know, obviously they say this about all young teams. Like they don't know their supposed to be intimidated. Well, that's it. This is a man just, you know, working together.

[00:46:30] This is the thing though. It would be easy to pick green bay as the team that could play spoiler based off of what they did to Dallas. But you know, say they're going into rain. And they're 28th against the run. Against our rest it Christian McAfrey.

[00:46:47] You don't even go get this now or won't Steve, but McAfrey's rested. Because remember McAfrey had the calf injury. So you know what I mean? So he's healing. So the margin. The margin. He probably just rust. And I think that concept. I think it's a little.

[00:47:09] No, because LeBar has the ball every possession. McAfrey does. But McAfrey is the catalyst. He's he's getting the ball. He doesn't have to just blow. I don't know if it's just a ball that it's playing. I didn't know if it was kind of a full return to plant.

[00:47:24] If then we got what? You know, so the traffic is right there. If the game sucks, if the game sucks, if the game is for, they'll put McAfrey back in return to put. So look. If somebody, if somebody died, right? You get dark. Let's go. He goes dark.

[00:47:41] You green your way. I green my way. Like we went through the same thing. You don't say it, but we have it a different reaction. You know, LeBar Jackson is rusty. And he hasn't played in the playoff the last two weeks. He had to be just sad.

[00:47:54] You don't say Christian McAfrey was injured and is healing. And the 49ers have had a buy before. You know, like you know what I mean? And all this kind of stuff like that. So it's like, perting rusty because I don't think he played their last game either.

[00:48:09] Perting is rusty but I didn't say perdi I said McAfrey. I said McAfrey. You know what I mean? You got his weight and I didn't give up. Yeah. You know what I'm saying?

[00:48:20] And what you also know, but you also know that Demos going to get some touches is with Gary's tooth. So you know, so Greed Beggle have a whole lot to feel with. That's why I won't say this.

[00:48:29] I won't say Tampa because I think that Detroit will do a better job of picking up the blitz and no one that the blitz is coming. Billy, do they? We're going to blitz. They just literally threw their arms up and said come get me.

[00:48:41] You know like a dance over the stress. That's it then. And then what I look at Buffalo and Kansas City. Like I said, that would be the easy one. But I got my reasons that we'll get into right about now. So I'm picking Buffalo. Okay.

[00:48:57] Just in case you didn't know or like, you know, you're wondering. I'm picking Buffalo. So everybody's making a big deal about Patrick Bahomes plan and his first road playoff game. Doesn't matter to me because he's who, Diti. He's the best quarterback in the league. Don't matter.

[00:49:16] He is who he is. Emothy, if you will. You know what I said? So as I was. He was who he thought he was. See, I was listening to Bomani Jones this morning. Oh, my way to work.

[00:49:29] He had a guy on his show about a name a Nick Wright. You know, and Nick Wright said something that may too far's ears perka live. He said, everybody's talking about Patrick Bahomes going on the road.

[00:49:43] But he's a better quarterback on the road than he is at home. And I said, Oh, is he Nicholas? So I went to go check this out. You know, it's been a game. Investigative reports. Now, including last week's playoff game.

[00:49:58] He played nine home games seven on the road. So as completion percentage is better on the road. His yards per attempt. Better on the road. But in two less games he's thrown two more picks on the road. So you got to look at the whole pitcher.

[00:50:17] Buffalo leads the league and take a wait. You got to look at the whole pitcher. Now Buffalo's got some injuries. You know, Bernard. I don't know if he's well played Taylor rap. You know, they got AJ con plans to run Jackson may not play.

[00:50:31] You know, Buffalo third the league and time of possession. Who didn't he can't hurt me if he don't got the ball. Sure. And then by last thing, I got some more stuff. But I want you to talk because I've been talking for a minute.

[00:50:47] But you know, the last thing that I got here is for now is Patrick Mahomes is more Michael Jordan. The Josh Allen is. But when you're paying your dues, Michael Jordan had to go through the pistons. He had to take those ass woopens.

[00:51:08] He had to go lift those weights and come back and win with Phil Jackson right now. Kansas City is two and all gets Buffalo into playoffs. There are one and three against Buffalo in the regular season, lost three out of the last four in the regular season.

[00:51:27] Five of those six games were in arrowhead. So it's not the point that Patrick Mahomes is not the point that this is Patrick Mahomes first road playoff game. The point is Buffalo ain't got to go back to arrowhead.

[00:51:49] I, I, like I said, I want to stand on my pick that I made weeks ago after watching Kansas City. I was like, I think they're going to lose their first playoff game. Right. I didn't think they were going to get in everyone's seat.

[00:52:06] I didn't think they were going to get a buy. I really thought they're going to lose their first playoff game because. The wire receiver drops is one thing. I'm not concerned with the drop drops happening.

[00:52:16] My issue was if felt as if the wire receiver is weren't even getting open. And he was throwing into tighter windows, which are going to lead to incomplete passes. But last weekend's Miami. A lot of the big plays. I felt like they spent the last month.

[00:52:36] Figuring out what kind of rock concepts work. Where can I get the ball out quickly? And you know, patch my home is act.

[00:52:46] Record back. So he's going to get the ball that they run out the catch is going to be the pass is going to be all point. Right. If you can get that in Buffalo because both you can't blitz them. Accessibly because you take guys out of coverage.

[00:53:00] You can't play man to man a whole time because you can't man to man on Kelsey. And if you do like it just it's not enough bodies. And you can't just go to the ball. So you have to do like this.

[00:53:16] To consistently just kind of give them these looks. You've got to pick apart something. So you have the whole for drops or your rest to get there. What are you looking at? See, see, I said I didn't want to watch this game right.

[00:53:29] What if this is Viffus is up 55 to 52 right now? Tell me what if this game is best part of my sports. I want to face. I want to. I think Buffalo has the biggest chance of losing as a high seed.

[00:53:47] Just off the way that they play Pittsburgh last week. Pittsburgh, like I said, had a chance. If Miles Jack doesn't hold. The tight end on that route. Just Alan through that thing. It lentil. Yeah. I don't know.

[00:54:05] I don't know if he just threw it that direction because he saw the hold about the happen or he just saw that one on one match up and he figured. The line back with panic.

[00:54:16] I don't know what his line of thinking was, but the ball landed behind the bench is right through a high in the air. And maybe it's because they probably felt like makes him root off.

[00:54:29] He could give him the ball five times in a row to get seven points. And we're probably going to stop all five times. If they have that same kind of mindset because Kansas City, two out of those five Kansas City's going to get points.

[00:54:44] Even if it's 10 points, they're going to get points and I think their defense plays better. I think Josh Allen does play a little different one in his plan. Different competition. I'm going to pick Buffalo just because I mean, just it's a chalk pick but it's more of a

[00:55:04] common sense pick is like right out of toss up. I'm going to go with the team that has the great advantage home field. I think the YRC relationship between Josh Allen and his core with the two tight ends that are essentially identical.

[00:55:21] If Kansas City had another guy that played like Kelsey, I would be on that. But toss and knocks and don't can cate plays exactly the same. Like when he drafted him, I was like, you already have toss and knock. Both of them caught the best.

[00:55:37] Both of them caught touchdowns in the first quarter. I guess you know, it could go with these stats. Like they're the first tight first time tune tight ends of both caught. Plex down passes in the same quarter in the playoff game. Yeah.

[00:55:51] I understand that, but I think that I think that relationship and the way Buffalo is committed to calling run plays. I don't know how well they run the ball per se. I think it's pretty good. It's the call in a run plays.

[00:56:04] I guess Pittsburgh James Cook went 18 for 79. He's the fourth leading rusher in the NFL this season. You know, I don't know. But it's not all do big loom. You know, I got some stuff for Kansas City too.

[00:56:16] You know, they can't see these got two days of extra rest. You know Buffalo played all Monday. Oh, because they had the weather. Yes, they had the reschedule. You know, they made a Kansas City has not allowed at the 300 yard pass or this season.

[00:56:31] And for somebody that likes to throw them all as much as Josh does. That could be important if you start forcing them windows. Yeah, but a lot of Josh Allen runs our pass plays. He just takes off.

[00:56:44] So I think he's probably good with throwing a ball for 230 and then running for another 45 to 60. All right, so so you want this. Here it is real quick. Who starts fast? Who finishes the game?

[00:57:01] So Kansas City leads the league and the least amount of points per game given up in the first quarter. Buffalo is third and amount of points scored in the fourth quarter. You and I have both talked about Kansas City second half offense a lot of times.

[00:57:20] Just a lot of points not scoring a lot of points. So can Kansas City start? Can Buffalo finish keep going. I got to grab a charger real quick. Those are my two questions. Can Kansas City start in Buffalo finish now with that being said.

[00:57:37] Buffalo has all the pressure in this game. If they don't be Kansas City right now, I don't know when they're going to be as far as when it actually matters. When is Buffalo going to get to an AFC title game again?

[00:57:48] They just went a couple years ago against Kansas City in that 13 second patch of balls. Lead down the field all that stuff. But Buffalo has been a city of losers for a long time. They're only professional championships occurred in 1964 and 65 when the Buffalo bills won the AFL.

[00:58:07] So that basically means the Saber suck. And the bills obviously made their four Super Bowls in the 90s consecutively. But two of Patrick Bahu's is three playoff losses. There was the Super Bowl against Tampa Bay where the office of lime was injured and they got this mantle.

[00:58:32] But his other two playoff losses both in overtime. That was D4 jumping off sides against the Patriots. That was Joe Burrell coming back when they refer to it as Burrell head, which gets a list of logical all, you know, Chaps' hide. It just was ridiculous.

[00:58:50] You guys want a couple, you know, couple games. You want two quarters. Another good thing for Kansas City is that particular play. The first time they played this season. And Kansas City wins that game if the greatest play ever did it get called that.

[00:59:09] You know, so Buffalo has no reason to be overconfident. But at the very least they know they can play with the cheese but this is the question, this is the question. The Kansas City gets attended to three lead. Do the fans make the bills feel what they feel?

[00:59:28] The stadium has the ability to get you seven points. He does. But the fans know what to do because you can do everything you need. Right. So if he just he can lock in and say we need seven points.

[00:59:49] I like Jalen Hertz, even like a guy like Colomary. I think certain guys, LeBar, certain certain guys, you know, old school Tom Brady, Max Stafford with the traditional pocket passers. Somebody's guys just had that ability patch of my homes currently. It's like okay, we're down.

[01:00:12] CJ Stroud and the young career. We need points. We need points to strive. We need a four minute drive. We need to we need to do this. We need to move the ball so that we can seal this game or tie the game.

[01:00:30] Joe Burrell has it just in Herbert doesn't, you know, certain guys is when they walk out on a field. Like let's let's keep it at least keep it to be. I'm pretty sure maybe someone could pull up some obscure stat.

[01:00:43] But if Daniel Jones walked out nine minutes 30 seconds left from the game. It's now 27 17. Are you thinking of giants going to come back based off what he does for you? Only if they're playing the cards. You know, but yeah, but yeah, I got Buffalo.

[01:01:02] So as I look at you know, this matchup, I talked about how I think Houston has the best chance to pull the upset. I hope that I don't wake up on Sunday morning.

[01:01:15] And I had the opportunity to pick Houston and they actually go do it and I didn't pick them. You said all that to pick Baltimore. I said all that to pick Baltimore. The question wasn't who's going to win the question was who has the best shot.

[01:01:32] Yeah, who has the best shot I think Houston has the best shot. So you know, but like with that being said, you know, CJ Straud of course, like I said last week against Cleveland. You know, he's not your typical rookie. He doesn't turn the ball over.

[01:01:48] You know, so that helps you know what you're going into this environment. But now you add the weather to it me in Houston. Yeah, it's very just like it's very I want to say back or football because I don't want to like, you know,

[01:02:02] March and lies what he's doing as in the football quarterback. Right, but it just feels like like that play against or the first play we threw the 75 year touchdown. I see Xavier told me he makes me feel like I can grow my hair.

[01:02:18] But like when they they call the play action and see this route, there was 65 yards in the air for touch right right it just feels like when that balls in the air. It's just a bunch of kids that load a plate football that it's out there enjoying it.

[01:02:38] You know, we look at we talk much, man, the city a lot. We talk about that as we talk about Philly. Philly looked like a bunch of grown men that bet there the deed to their houses on the game and they're playing like it.

[01:02:53] They're playing like they had everything the looms and nothing again, whereas like Houston early season Miami current Buffalo.

[01:03:05] The post quarterback swaps in Cleveland with miles Gary doing the crossover at the line and just moving back and forth and they were like shifting the tight in one way and he got to the other way.

[01:03:17] Like I don't have the coach called that it just something like he's like I'm having a good time out here. I'm having fun doing this and it translates on to the field, I think Houston's playing like that.

[01:03:28] I think Kansas City's playing like a team that that bet the farm and they got to win and Buffalo is playing like that earlier.

[01:03:35] I think now it's like oh you're very good if we look if you look around like only nine quarterback started all 17 games with their team. I think Tampa Bay has a jovial kind of spirit.

[01:03:47] I think Detroit has it and of the like I said of the remaining 18s. I got Kansas City is the only one that seems it seems to have more internal pressure on the outcomes of the game. I think the other 17. I think they'll live and dial the results.

[01:04:07] I don't know though, I think Kansas City doesn't because I mean like you just said they went to three out of the last four Super Bowl's one two of them. I don't think they feel any pressure at all.

[01:04:16] Yeah, but they look at any point this year, have they looked like okay any point pass on to over. You know what they have they look like a team that are check it out check it out.

[01:04:25] How do they year 2023 day one to two role in February 2023 calendar year 2023. Did you look at any game that they play and you felt like this was a team that just wanted to evolve and February. No, but check it out in the United States. Check it out.

[01:04:44] Check it out though. If Kansas City doesn't win the Super Bowl.

[01:04:49] A simple way of looking at it is nobody wins every year, you know or you say they won three out of the last four or two or you know played in three out of the last four Super Bowl. Yes.

[01:05:02] If Buffalo doesn't win the Super Bowl, you say I told you Josh Allen was a choke or I told you Buffalo can't get over the hump so also for if Baltimore doesn't win. I don't think that's internal though. That's the thing. I don't think that's an internal.

[01:05:16] I'm sure it has an external at the center of Kansas City wants to win the Super Bowl but I think we've been around the last four. I don't think Buffalo on the inside feels that way. I don't think like we know for a fact, Billy felt that way.

[01:05:33] We feel it right now with Dallas and some of their moves. We feel it with we felt the win with you like you know that internally what we are thinking from from the outside is is manifesting inside the building.

[01:05:48] I'm not sure if the people inside of the building at Buffalo fielding Super Bowl, the bus pressure that everyone else. I do want to say like, don't get the baby to get a new job because Kansas City, I don't think at any point this year.

[01:06:02] I think they're defensive play upper echelon you know the rank is always weird total defense points y'all. So there's always different little it's like APR bullet.

[01:06:11] You can always spin this matrix, this matrix, this state and this this is making look good on the back end but as far as like the eye test.

[01:06:21] I would accept to the game for the Raiders game when they put it like 31 points and like they were now 14 something.

[01:06:30] They look good when they played a chargers and then the next but the next Sunday played the Raiders, they gave up the two defensive scores back to back and couldn't get anything going for this.

[01:06:41] I don't think a no kind of had a completion in the second half right I think that's that's the whole thing. Look at you being disrespectful up in here I was trying to talk about Houston and Baltimore.

[01:06:52] Just like of all the eight teams I think the only team that doesn't feel like they're playing with house money is Kansas City.

[01:07:01] Okay, I think Baltimore does have pressure because they do have the guy who is probably going to be he's going to be your next interview p the second time and you just paid him a lot of money at the held out so I think it's a little bit of a buzz there.

[01:07:16] I think what they do isn't so dependent on him so they can still win like he can play. I don't say average game. He can play his game and then the defense can play do what they do and they can win the game.

[01:07:32] Third you know, to the 13 you know how we do the quarterback thing where like a quarterback loses and you're like yo it's a team game. Like but so I talked about Lamar Jackson one and three in the playoffs. Oh into at home. Retouch now is five intersections.

[01:07:55] His last two playoff games no touchdown past sounds very pay manny like but you know anyway pay manning to the long time get that first playoff. You know the Ravens.

[01:08:15] Allow the fewish yards in the league and this is Houston this is going to be Houston's kind of under him. Can you put it in the in zone because Baltimore only allows 41% touchdowns on the red zone trips of their opponents. So can Houston get six instead of three.

[01:08:34] Mark Andrews might be back. You know I'm not sure if he's going to be on the pitch. I've ruled out a lot of injuries ruled out so with this that made that means a whole lot of Nico all up in your face pause.

[01:08:47] Yeah, you know say but a whole lot of Nico. So the thing that hurts Houston is Baltimore can win this game in a lot of different ways. So they can win a defensive struggle. They can win a shootout. They can win in between.

[01:09:03] They can make adjustments and what was a shootout is not a shootout in either. You know Houston has to play clean football. They have to force to know. I'm not a bunch of Tuesday.

[01:09:14] I mean, I've been told that I oversumptify things but I don't care because the person said that I don't really respect their opinion. But I think it's still. Yeah, I think it's pretty dope to be able to master it.

[01:09:25] We're a world, but you know some people don't understand that shout out to the people who don't understand that learn something. Baltimore we had the same conversation when they were playing in San Francisco. And they beat the Briggs off San Francisco. They did it.

[01:09:40] And then we rehash this conversation. But I think the pressure is on that day. The pressure is on Baltimore now. I don't think the pressure is on Baltimore because I don't think Baltimore is in a position aware. Everything. Everything. Everything. Yeah, because everything they do they do well.

[01:10:02] Yes. We're going to be out of it. Okay, so check it out. I have big hands. I'm never not going to have big hands. So on a competition against people with smaller hands is like, Hey, let's measure hands. My hands are always going to be bigger.

[01:10:19] What they do in Baltimore is consistent what they've done this entire year is make a system like I said, the stat that they've had a lead in the last two minutes of every game.

[01:10:28] I think the Pittsburgh game is different because it was ended in the year and I want to play. But like every game where they started to play. So they're a consistent team. And what they do well travels.

[01:10:42] So not only is it they're at a home playoff game, but it's like they run the ball well. They decide to have them cook the quarterback runs the ball well. quarterback throws the ball well.

[01:10:53] Or the back of junior, you know, great route runner can get over to top. You got to commit. You got to commit defensively to stop in the run.

[01:11:03] So as some point is going to be a situation where like this the safety for the dolphins talked about a play where. The more play fate and drop back left handed. You say this song drop back left handed is like what?

[01:11:18] And then turned and threw the ball down a sideline to like baitmen to something like that right hand. He was like he's like it's one of the greatest ways I've ever seen. But when he drops back like that, you think he's going to tuck in and run.

[01:11:32] So now as a lot backer I'm doing this. He turns and is like, I got to get out of there. And it's too late guys are already over the top. I think they're playing with confidence. I think of the four games that they are the least likely. Okay.

[01:11:50] It's good to lose. I think of all the four games. They will have the biggest win margin. Okay. But don't forget about my guys. They flowers next time please. You know. The past. Yeah. I knew it was that's why I said that. You know both teams need flowers.

[01:12:10] Both teams are bottom 10. See that's different right? Both teams are bottom 10 and penalties. So when I make a button. That means that they have the least amount of money. Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah. So if I was saying top 10 and penalties that mean you got the most.

[01:12:30] I would say most discipline. Well, I was about to follow it up with. Okay. You've been doing it for a while. Yeah. Which team is going to beat themselves because that's the only thing. No no no these two teams are still talking about Baltimore Houston.

[01:12:49] Because Houston is not going to beat themselves. But Baltimore is obviously good enough to do the beating to Houston. You know Baltimore's not going to beat themselves. So Houston has to play a clean perfect game. CJ Strahd has to keep protecting the ball. Houston has to get turnovers.

[01:13:06] I don't know if they need to pick sixes. But two interceptions will do maybe. Interception and a fumble will do. I. Yes, so so like so if we go back to their original question. I've like what team is most likely what. What. Which. Which.

[01:13:24] Which team is the team? Which one like which one team? Which one team? Which member would it know in the lead? Our who-one team would coach for it. And the voted items would look like so we won't hear about this buddy if you fall these by

[01:13:41] A crack but the song that I. But I like like not out there. If you dislike the bell on here, you'll hear the play, the play. That will bring to aer compete by breaking a neutrality. That with mixed ideas where we should win

[01:13:54] be in most likely for being least likely. One I will say Detroit because Dan Campbell does go with analytics so I think forth into on Tampa Bay's 40 four-yard line and the play before should it work just something happened. I

[01:14:18] can see him rolling their dice and going forward again and potentially giving the ball back to Tampa Bay 20 yards from field low range. I could see that happen. So I say they're most likely Detroit. Second, I will go Buffalo

[01:14:35] because Kansas City has championship pedigree because I think they can I think patch my homes, Kelsey. I don't think I don't think they play it there is 20 but since that Buffalo game I don't know if they're saving

[01:14:48] them or what they're going to bring a sky more but he hasn't haven't seen him on the field a lot and I watch a lot of Kansas City games every since that week. Then San Francisco and then Baltimore. So it's Baltimore Detroit, Buffalo,

[01:15:07] San Francisco. So you have San Francisco as more of a lock than Baltimore? Yes. See, as we transition to San Francisco, I did that there. I like like remade's confidence. I like the play calling. I like the familiarity with

[01:15:31] LaFlor and Shannon hand being coaching to podries. I like LaFlor, success that he had with Aaron Rogers now translates with different quarterback because we talked about Shannon hand having success with Jimmy Garoppolo. No one else

[01:15:48] if then Brock Perti kind of come out of nowhere out of out of a moment of desperation last season. So I like the fact that LaFlor, I watched the couple games early in the year, LaFlor, I think they had about a minute 10 left and a half

[01:16:05] they got the ball back and they had a couple of time outs and they ran the ball ran it down, went to half time. And I was thinking of myself like, man you don't trust Jordan love but I think what he was doing, it was like all right,

[01:16:18] let me let me get him in the locker room without making a mistake to in the half because that's a big deal. The states said in and a half are big deals. Points given up in the last two

[01:16:30] minutes of the first half big deal because you got to sit on it in the locker room for 20 minutes just doing about it and you might not get the ball back coming out of half time. So you

[01:16:39] give up a bad play here and you throw it away and the team gets the ball to get a fuel go to get the ball back and it touched on us 10 points where you could just like, you know what

[01:16:49] let's get into the set of now's goal to film. And I was like he done trust him and then like you said he wanted this with 21 touchdowns one pic since November. Yeah go driven 19. Yep.

[01:16:59] Yeah. So that's that's two, that's two months because we're right now with today January 18. You know, that's two months of good football. I think they match up well. I believe San Francisco's best skill position group is a little overwhelming at times like the way they run the ball.

[01:17:26] I think Brock pretty's confidence to run the ball. I think the way they block up front their physicality, the fact that they're tight in can go for a thousand yards receiving. And he would he would be just as happy with a thousand pancake blocks throughout the season

[01:17:42] as he is with a thousand yards receiving. So I think that's a big deal. Trent Williams the way he can move and you know people talk about rust and rust whatever

[01:17:51] case may be I think some of his guys that get hit a lot. They're probably good taking a week off knowing that like I'm taking a week off and my team's on a jeopardy of me

[01:18:03] of losing because I'm not playing because I think about the year is probably a lot of times with guys should take a week off. But they can't because you've got to you got to gain. You can't take

[01:18:14] that week off to just let that ankle heel let that calf heel. Try to let it go to heel. Like the Trevor Loans we talked about that we talked about it with Joe Burrow like

[01:18:25] maybe they should have said Joe Burrow for a couple of no for a game. Then play because we talked about Baker Mayfield last year too. The same thing is like

[01:18:35] let them sit the week a game. Play your back up. Go on to your buy. You play a team that's two and seven out of the buy you run your guy back out there again. Let's you guys get another week

[01:18:48] arrest. Yeah, success. That's just a little bit of a random ball. I think Brock Perty fits what Calshanna hands I deal quarterback looks like but I think Green Bay and their their skill, their skill players the fact that they're young they're like the young seen in the playoffs.

[01:19:09] I think that's a good match up. That's why I have them third as a potential. The strike me number one like I said just because you know the way he calls plays Baltimore

[01:19:24] I'm not predicting a 42 to 17 game. You sure? Yeah but I'm I can I would not be surprised if the game ended up being 34 20 like late scores by Houston. I could because I think we watched Baltimore what they do

[01:19:52] it's just it's not like I don't think they have a different game plan. I think you know won't you Well, they played they played the week one but it's tough to take anything away from it. You know because it was CJ Strauss first game

[01:20:05] Corrido so Baltimore won 25 that nine it was an ugly ugly game and it was one of those games where if I remember correctly a lot of the talk was wow Baltimore looks bad.

[01:20:21] Yeah how's that going for you? You know so yeah I think that the reason that I have the Detroit so high so I had Baltimore first I had Detroit second the reason I had Detroit second

[01:20:34] is because there's the possibility that I always try to find a better way to save this and I just can't find it but they might have shot their load you know say pause because you know last week

[01:20:49] was all height you know first playoff you know victory since 1991 all that good stuff that was the surrounding the game but that defense was still given up yards they got out game about a

[01:21:02] ram is by 91 yards you know so the good news is that they played Tampa and the regular season they won 26 they held Baker Bayfield the 26 yards held Tampa Bay to 2.9 yards preparing in that game

[01:21:21] you know but this is the problem now the Detroit for the season is 30 if against the pass and back through staff went for 367 last week so we've seen that you can throw against this team

[01:21:35] now I don't know what happened in the earlier game where they could throw against them maybe it was a matchup thing you know but Detroit's past defense isn't very good the only problem is tap a can't

[01:21:46] run so like this game against the Eagles the other they look good against the Eagles whoa yeah I mean you talked about it yourself how I really can't stop the run fillet the feels it's fillet just their

[01:22:00] draft picks on loan the do they grab it from Georgia alone should have helped them stop the run but even the guys are already with air yeah but even with that said Rashard white only average 3.6

[01:22:11] y'all's precarious that game but you would think about lots of it you wouldn't think about what bit though because they if they ran the ball on first down and it was second and seven

[01:22:24] then Baker may feel with all little curl route and it'd be a miss tackle and it would look for the comment that I made I think the comment that I made in the group chat was

[01:22:34] tap as big billy with a college office right now it it looked it looked weird it did not a lot of it looked like a 32 to nine game because I think well once again for like two quarters

[01:22:56] but they jumped out to a two possession right on the right boot for the early and then and I saw one seriani I don't know what I was doing like I said I was in and out of the

[01:23:09] game because I was just like you know just the week as kind of moving around so when they went for two on the push push and they were gonna make it that would have made it 16 or 11

[01:23:20] I was like I kind of get it if you're thinking that the next time Tampa biggest the ball your defense is gonna hold until a fuel goal and now you're down eight but then I was like

[01:23:36] because yeah that's when I think up because like you go for it you're down 16 or 11 I just with Billy does that's just one of those damn Campbell that's just what Billy does

[01:23:47] and it's like okay because when I saw it I thought it was because the best way was the group so I saw something in a group and they said because I think I was cooking like some salmon or something

[01:23:57] it was like oh we got a game now so when I looked and it says 16 to nine and they were gone for and I saw it when the the twitch push got stopped but the guy had shoulder pad and jailing

[01:24:11] hurts helmet I'm not even gonna call it but it is what it is so I thought I thought there was a fourth and one attempt that they stopped but then I sat there because I watched you know

[01:24:23] watch the games on meat I was okay oh they went for two but I was like okay if I went for two to be down 16 or 11 so if they get a fuel goal I'd down eight whatever case when we get it

[01:24:34] the 10 it didn't feel like a 32 to nine kind of game because Tampa's not that good of a team you know like I said like go back through their schedule you know they beat Minnesota week one

[01:24:48] I give them props for that they beat Kirk cousins but then if you look at the rest of those wins you got a whole lot of Tennessee you know you got some Atlanta you got some New Orleans

[01:24:58] they got your girl on us I think they lost your land of 16 13 they lost to the Saints wants to they they they swept Carolina you know say outside of that you know they beat Jacksonville so

[01:25:10] I might give him that one even though that's when Trevor Lawrence was hurt but I'll give him that one as well you know you know they they haven't beat they didn't beat anybody this season that

[01:25:21] I mean ever since games are 10 and 8 it's just that they had probably one more I picked Tampa based so I feel proud of myself and that but I think the public probably felt like

[01:25:35] there was a shocking victory but I picked them I didn't pick them off X's and I was I picked them off of the fact that I thought Philly was just kind of this combined really are ready yeah I picked Philly

[01:25:46] just because I thought that you thought they'd be able to turn it around yours not necessarily turning around but your zero and zero now if then they were just going to go get fucked up by San

[01:25:57] Francisco just week was the way that I looked at it I didn't even I didn't even waiver like I didn't think I didn't think Philly had a shot at all I guess they would have played the Troy but yeah yeah

[01:26:09] I didn't think Philly had shot at all I think one of those ones he pulled the guys because he started his starters against the giants with the X with a hope that the commanders

[01:26:20] would be beat in the Cowboy is making still win the division once once they were getting beat with their starters in against the giant giant souldham and then lost I was like this team's done

[01:26:32] because I look I'm like you know what I want to play this out and beat that hell out of somebody in the way of the playoffs we've been slumping either come out and dominate that game

[01:26:43] but they let Ty Roth Taylor and the video come in his shared time and injuries and still beat them I was like yeah they're done it was it was done it was like it was like a moment where like

[01:26:58] you don't care if your spouse comes home at night I think that tapah had their moment in the sun and now since Todd Bowles correctly pointed out that the Troy is planning a dome

[01:27:11] yeah if the sun don't shine then sun don't shine oh shaw yeah you know say that's where we are right now it's half a bay I'm off the bus you know I still don't believe in them

[01:27:20] I think the Troy's gonna beat him I don't think there's gonna be a blast I don't think you're right now it's a matter of belief I think it's just a matter of like I thought they were going to be

[01:27:28] Billy I just thought that I just thought that Billy just at AJ Brown we talk about Twitter when he got ruled out right I've seen I've seen like a couple documentaries like I saw one

[01:27:46] that maybe think like why would you buy a house with stairs when you're in the foot run back Jerome bed is getting out of his bed Monday morning like the ESP cameras are there so it's

[01:27:56] felt kind of a set up but him gingerly walking down the stairs Monday morning after a Sunday game and it's like he played the following week so how bad are you injured to where you can't play

[01:28:10] like what happened to your body because chant Bailey played all season long with just a shoulder brace I just kept his arm up here so he could still tackle yeah Philip Rivers played with with

[01:28:23] no ACL and an AFC championship game hey never have no energy with all the kids yeah maybe that's where his energy comes from I mean I like Noah's arc real life so just the fact that he's with

[01:28:38] these guys play with to the point where AJ was like they rule him out when you're you're literally in a winter go home situation and you rule out one of the not even the best player in your team

[01:28:51] one of the best 12 players in the league 12 to 15 players in the league of 1500 people this guy's literally in the top 0.01% you know like yeah we'll we'll play this game without him

[01:29:07] even though we're struggling and more maybe hey you want to play maybe he was like ah you know how this is when sometimes you you fake a little bit when you go to nurse the office when

[01:29:18] your kids you can go home oh yeah this is the pitch now and you know but the market opened a form but yeah about 11 in Atlanta if he wants to we'll give you cow pits jaren golf had 353 yards

[01:29:34] against Tampa in that earlier matchup you know about Saint Brown had 12 catches 424 yards you know so Tampa is weird to me because I feel like and I could be wrong but I feel like their

[01:29:52] defense isn't that good even though I feel they have good players on their defense it's a weird thing it's like it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's being partly scheme

[01:30:07] has to be and they blitz a lot so of course there's some very hot mulls like listen man when it doubt hit the gap yes so there's obviously some variants there that's going to lead to big plays

[01:30:19] or you know either way they're going to get a sack they're going to bat down the pass get an reception or they go get bomb don't like it's one of the other piece of family you're going to

[01:30:28] are you going to tip a pass and get you know like I said you get that pick six are you going to catch jerry golf and his reported small hands a situation where you fumbles I don't know he got the kitty pick

[01:30:40] he got the Joe Burrows okay okay maybe he should wear a glove never mind don't wear a glove so you know as far as San Francisco and green bagos you know Jordan love so

[01:31:01] the good thing is the good thing is almost everything is green bay is San Francisco green bay is San Francisco have played each other a few times over the years in the playoffs you know Matt LaFlor

[01:31:14] and Kyle Shanahan are very familiar with one another so green bay has that going for them you know they had games where they took San Francisco to the wire at Lambo and Aaron Rogers

[01:31:29] just could complete a pass you know or I'm not a partner in 180R no I'm talking about a few years ago when it was all the snow game with the pump yeah yeah that game you know that was

[01:31:45] Aaron Rogers fault because he drew get 27 pass you're trying to throw it to the Vonti no he threw he had 27 pass attempts yeah you were I think it was 27 pass attempts 21 went to

[01:32:00] Aaron Jones and the Vonti Adams yeah because who could drop one somebody I don't know if it was in Vs because in notorious for no there was a tight end a tight end I do that place for the bears now

[01:32:18] not to you know or that tongue it was a it was a it was a it was a it was a it was a it was a like either let's get our white guy but I remember he was wide open and dropped the pass

[01:32:34] and I believe Tony rumble was on the call and he says something like dropping a pass like that you probably won't get another shot from Aaron says the guy that dropped the field those snap hey listen then that team might be cursed uh just something up um

[01:32:56] so I like I like I like I like green-based chances uh because I think they are playing well as a unit they're not stumbling into the playoffs they didn't back there they're way in

[01:33:12] they didn't have a situation where they're waiting for the team at eight o'clock to win or lose then I team lost and they back there they were the way in I think they clawed the way in

[01:33:23] there a young team I think they're coach understand the quarterback I think the quarterback success I think the fact that you know he sat there for a few years behind Aaron you had to absorb something

[01:33:37] right like I talked about it last week if you had somebody sitting next to you right now taking those and I had somebody right here taking notes and a year those two people could probably sit together

[01:33:50] and have their own podcast. Well he obviously passed the Aaron Rogers geometry class you know so but that's what I'm saying I think that it's not it's not unheard of that green-based could go win this game. I just think that shout out to my favorite son he

[01:34:09] is probably my drink. I just think that this is playoff football green-based 28th against the run San Francisco's third against the run you know I just think that they're going to get a lot of

[01:34:20] McAfrey and they're not going to be able to do anything about it in the rain and Santa Clara or you know and I think that brought Perti isn't going to have to do much from the standpoint

[01:34:34] we were talking about or Dick Wright always talks about is brought Perti going to make the play and the moment I don't think we're going to see that this week. That's a big of my

[01:34:45] Alex. It's a dark party. It's such a smart articulate guy and I think he can I think he can debate with the best part of the best sports pundits or political pundits anybody

[01:34:59] have ever really listened to on TV but he has a little skip bailis in him. He talked about drugs when he talks about it. Full on. He talks about Brock Perti when he talks about Buffalo.

[01:35:12] When he talks about Buffalo, Brock Perti Kansas City, La Bron, a little bit with La Bron but I think I think it's the argument for La Bron has you got to tail it back. You kind of have that

[01:35:26] you kind of have to argue more, big to reach with that because he's not as dominant and powerful whatever the case may be. But his Brock Perti argument was I want to see him do the

[01:35:39] one he's down in the fourth quarter but if you're soon to say like well maybe because he makes every the seven or eight throws in the first half that turned in the first downs they keep drives

[01:35:54] because McCaffrey can't get a 12-yard rest touchdown if they don't get from the 25 to the 12 and convert a couple of third downs. They don't convert all their third downs off of runs they don't

[01:36:04] get all their chunk yards off of runs so if McCaffrey gets a toss play from the 12-yard line score to touchdown it's not because Brock Perti didn't do his job to get him there so his argument

[01:36:15] was always like oh I want to see him down okay well other than that you you must want to not play the the first half never remember what time like this tangent military tangent

[01:36:27] I was in Germany station spade on them we were playing the intramural basketball I was in a component maintenance squadron, bunch of 80 on his guys were on the team we were playing against comp

[01:36:40] so a plan com first half goes by like so we play the first quarter no we played two has so we played most of the first half and I think we're doing pretty good I think we're probably

[01:36:53] up like 16 or 18 we're doing pretty well so I'm sitting on the bench this guy named this guy you know it's always an air force duty simply basketball and high school some division one of division two school you're like all right whatever whatever is nicknamed was hops

[01:37:12] I know he was serious because I looked at his calf and he had hops and he had to get on his calf so he's looking at the score and we're still playing we're still beaten com he came in

[01:37:23] he was like right before half time he's on sidelines stretching takes a sweat so I'll see the tattoo and then he comes out in the second half and just buy himself just something or 20 or 20 point league just went away like that and they won

[01:37:41] nick right once rock per year do that just put up the whole first half let the other team build a 10 point lead and then you come out here and show us what you can do the reason that they

[01:37:53] have a 12 or like a 14 point lead or three positionally in the first half is because he plays so well when he plays poorly they lost your games in a row when he throws four and his

[01:38:06] search is good Baltimore that's when they lose but when they win is because he plays very well from starting the finish and I know that you still play as a vault and I know that I was

[01:38:17] banging on green bay because you know they gave up 30 points to Carolina you know but their defense is actually played well coming down the stretch since that game as well so they have been

[01:38:29] a complete team at this point I just think they're running into a juggernaut so just to put the bow on this you know I got Baltimore I got Buffalo I got the twa and I got San Francisco

[01:38:46] so I'm going all chalk I guess. Yes, same here yeah so there you go it probably won't work at that way you and I are both saying it somebody's going to have to lose but like I said you know I got my

[01:38:59] one two three and four. All right but all I'm saying is the choice being my one all I'm saying is that Baltimore loses the Houston I want here nothing from you unless it's like some yo

[01:39:15] Bob had two five no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no you know what I'm saying too is there right that why are you just pick up I don't I don't

[01:39:30] somebody's got to lose all right peer pressure peer pressure well no no no you you start you can pick up but I'm just saying like the NCAA tournament went all chalk a couple of

[01:39:45] years ago remember me you were talking about it but that's rare yeah that when I get to end of my what I was back in 2008 that was like the like the only time all once you know made it

[01:39:57] somebody didn't happen recently was like at least once at least it was probably once at two's but I think that's the only time it was all fours 50 cent is at the Sacramento game

[01:40:06] while he's a Kings fan apparently okay um every time I look at my bracket and I get to the end and it's like one versus two two versus one I'm like let me do this again I know I know

[01:40:20] I do it every time I get just because though like you don't have any like just every time I click certain people get in trouble that's where people get in trouble because they be like somebody

[01:40:29] somebody got a 12 got to be a five but you don't know which one like you don't say I just look like who's Jersey color I like better what it comes out of like like uh like Texas A&M

[01:40:41] would like the South Dakota jackals I would go with the jackals jackals you're just going to jack up up like that huh yeah or jack rabbits yeah jack rabbits that's a good jack that's

[01:40:53] kind of jack rabbit sure you go so of course I remember before the NBA season started let me pull that up much I call this the logical I said what is beside you jury doing and he said

[01:41:09] what you're talking about I said why is OG out of no the Pascal C. Occup still on this roster they're both free ages at the end of the next season this season that is you know they're

[01:41:21] free ages at the end of the next season he can't really let them walk without getting anything right and then Mr. Lava said well why should he let them go and I said well what the hell they're going

[01:41:32] to do let me pull it up let me pull this trade that they got out of this deal yeah so out of no be obviously we talked about that he's a nickname now you know they bought any value will quickly

[01:41:44] in RJ bear it I think that's a good deal I like yeah I like trades where the other team like every time somebody trades Rudy gave it just a buyout waiting to happen it just makes you like

[01:42:00] you know how you know James though you know how James though you know how you know James the one needs to be fired or he's to give up that team like even with all the bad decisions that he's

[01:42:11] made over the years away to the Charles Oakley all that stuff like that it is one thing is like Lee yeah it's one thing where you got a bad chup around your team it's another thing where

[01:42:23] you got two bad chupbers on your team and what tops in all of you got two left hand chupbers on your team Julia's Randall and RJ bear it now RJ bear it's gone and look at that coming into tonight

[01:42:37] he was shoot 56% from the floor as a Toronto Raptor yes it is new home you know what I mean so Eddie's out of here he didn't give up the candidate maybe that's what it was Eric and he

[01:42:50] didn't just put in something what did they call a maple mama that's that's food by the way you perverts maple mama that's the way we call it him yeah so so hold up wait that I was

[01:43:01] in with Eric yeah yeah yeah yeah he was Eric Canada of bear it was maple mama so it's just respectful so so but like it's RJ bear it like you see better than

[01:43:16] and really it's all you know like doesn't like who's the best Canadian in the league right now oh never mind never mind the best Canadian in the league right now is SGA is SGA is SGA actually

[01:43:32] you know but yeah what you think about trade I like to trade the main thing I like about the trade is that I'm not really a big fan of like the amount of big fan of the prospects coming

[01:43:44] in for from college basketball and like these other amateur leagues so three first round picks sounds heavy and aggressive for the deal right but it's a 2024 pace is a pick and then it's the worst of Houston plus angels clippers Oklahoma City or Utah for 24 or 14 so whoever has

[01:44:11] the worst and listening with the verbi it's I'm not sure if that's like that you said it's worse so like it's the same thing well like whoever has the lowest pick whoever has the lowest pick so if it's like 21 22 24 26 you get 21 they get they get the worst

[01:44:29] so they get the worst of the right right right so if you're looking at Houston Houston is pretty solid here the clippers are yeah so you're you're hoping for where we Houston lands and

[01:44:42] Houston looks like they've been pretty solid this year not nothing great but they've been doing anything and then in the 20 and then in 20 26 spacers pick but it's top four protected so

[01:44:53] the 25 paces are terrible and they end up with the numbers four three or two or one pick you don't even get that if you're Toronto so I noticed it all the good businesses everybody walks away

[01:45:08] from the table someone unhappy like everybody can't be happy for to be a big deal and one person can't be completely happy and so for the zone you just gotta hit the reset you gotta hit the reset

[01:45:22] because you know when you beat charges you gotta be happy you saw OJ OJ did some interviews after you beat the charges yeah you gotta hit the reset button and you hope that your structure and the the foundation that you have within your building can produce another

[01:45:46] championship run or at least another top because Toronto Raptors the bronze killer them for a couple years but they were number one seed for a few years old those right right so maybe you're

[01:46:00] hoping that he's next couple of picks you get come in and maybe RJ buried and quickly become this next round but it's unlikely because they made it really work like that you you need a

[01:46:13] generational talent well you need to you need to you need to get one you can't the San Antonio spurs way of getting championships seven champion NBA finals and because no sick because it's

[01:46:25] big something with a sick yeah getting the six NBA finals was just bounce passes chess passes and you know limited egos unlikely so some one of these guys are gonna have to turn into something

[01:46:40] not enough like Kawaii when he's in San Antonio was a 13.9 points again if that the trademark Toronto the into the championship you need something like that you're gonna need one

[01:46:53] of these guys to just kind of turn into that player but I mean as far as like good as well right that's the good news right because he brought in for a band you know he found Cia you know he found

[01:47:07] out of no and they got a chip out of it you know he got a chip because of a lie but you know but yeah but like he showed he because Kawaii's been on the clippers and the clippers were making all

[01:47:19] highs and move they had nothing championship but he showed but he showed that he can find the hit it jump so being that those picks some of those picks are gonna be later it's not necessarily

[01:47:30] a bad thing when we're looking at the person making the decisions yeah but does he still have that job that's the other thing a lot of it is tools goal despite Bitcoin or any kind of cryptocurrency it

[01:47:42] looks good your investments going up and down you throw another hundred thousand to it on you know so far whatever app you use or Robin Hood ultimately like are you gonna really weigh

[01:47:54] out three four years and see if it grows probably you're not you're gonna really weigh out three four years to see if the deal that was you know was your remade it's gonna pan out I mean

[01:48:04] possibly I think Toronto kind of has to because I mean who goes to Toronto if she is basically can't can't it is New York yeah but you got to pay the taxes on top of

[01:48:19] like whatever else you pay I don't know if you ever looked at a W2 for somebody who works in New Jersey and New York it's awful it hurts it hurts bad there it's bad

[01:48:32] I was saying it will be called like you got to pay the Canadian taxes on top of you know whatever the medical cool yeah nice root canal if you need one yeah like I say it's it's it's it's it's a tough world

[01:48:53] you gotta make these decisions I think the owners recognize that we are aren't gonna have superstars yeah Detroit drafted a Gallicate kind of him hoping he's gonna be a superstar you know

[01:49:08] you got Jay dive and he was a Ivy he was a star Purdue you hope that it works out right you hope that James Harden Kevin Durant Russell Westbrook you hope that you are in a position to replicate

[01:49:26] that but drafting three guys out of college and they turned into this kind of a dynamic trio more likely you won't the free agent piece is gonna be pretty difficult because you're paying

[01:49:41] guys like they're getting up to like NFL quarterback prices for somebody stars like Jay the Brown would he get five years three forty that's not worth all the guarantee fully guaranteed I think Durant had five years one ninety were Brooklyn and they knew he was gonna miss

[01:50:01] like years some change with big healings and they still pay him essentially forty million dollars a year right so you're gonna have to do that if you want to bring your free agent in or you're

[01:50:13] gonna hope that somebody's trades you make with somebody's dry picks they pan out they turn into a guy they turn into another land fleet so what do you think about this move for Indiana I like it

[01:50:27] I think Indiana is taking advantage of the fact that they are they're just getting high yeah they got a championship coach they have a a young core with Halle Burton they got to keep buddy healed oh he on the block again

[01:50:44] nah he's still but he's still there no but he ain't go be there you gotta keep it but then again I mean they've been public and with a miles turn or two

[01:50:54] that's what I'm saying so they you didn't give up what you have is you got a big man you got a versatile guy you traded for you have your up and coming very confident young lifespan point guard everyone needs one of those

[01:51:18] and he got buddy healed it's like what's the man I'm out here you know his numbers are like Steph Curry pace feel goals per season career feel goals like he's he's on like the same

[01:51:31] pace as Steph Curry was when Steph Curry started shooting at three so like young is player at twenty seven and a half three he's only playing at twenty you know like that that's that that

[01:51:40] he's been through that there buddy heals on that's that kind of art yeah and he's always with something's on the trading block but he never really ends up anywhere where he can really

[01:51:50] showcase his skills I think this is absolutely for Rick Carl I would like let's get the point guard the shooter the playmaker and the big man together and run the east because if you get to the top

[01:52:07] four that's what you want you want you want to you want to play out series at home I think Indiana put themselves in position where they can get a play off series at home yeah they actually

[01:52:17] went a series now and that's it and that's that's all you can really hope for you get a play off series at home because you get the top three teams out the east you know and number one being number one

[01:52:29] being Boston so it's gonna be tough but you get one get one series at home you win that maybe you still the game to rode against Boston come back you confident at home

[01:52:43] me sure things have happened I mean the liquor to beat the warriors last year and what's an at what's the final yeah no what's on that league march and the out of broad it NBA

[01:52:51] champion it gave up an NBA champion because Bruce Brown went to Toronto and this deal you know and it works out for Toronto because the way that his contract is structured a lot of real baby daddy

[01:53:06] is basically a uh let's the word I'm looking for expiring contract if you want it to be it's a two-year deal but it has the option so you could get out of it this year to get more cap space if you want

[01:53:19] so it works out for Toronto that way as well as the base is that seven right now 23 and 17 yeah and all of the earth is probably out another week I think the sixes are continuing there I think

[01:53:34] I don't think the sixes are gonna slip no there's maintain it just maintain it just there's possibly be at three and maybe the buck's those are a couple and they get the three two

[01:53:44] whatever I think they're gonna kind of see rising I can see the Cavaliers as the trade deadline gets closer I think the rumblings in the building can maybe impact the way serguards play maybe

[01:53:58] they sit a guy because they want to move them whereas the pace has already made their moves right they made their kick you know they run in a 1600 meter race they may not have seen what

[01:54:09] they could get for buddy he'll I don't know if you have to move them no like I don't know if you obviously don't want them they obviously don't want like he's been on the trade blocks

[01:54:19] as he's been there like this is John Collins all over again you know to be there doing the safe they would miles turn or I swear the last four five trade deadlines people have been

[01:54:30] trying to pick out where miles turn is going remember he was supposed to go to the Lakers too that was the that was the deal we were talking people talking about the sports group where miles turner and buddy he'll we're gonna go to LA for Russ and

[01:54:46] 12 chicken wings and two and it out burgers yeah like a Roscoe shit it was a real thing it wasn't people making it up that was all over that I don't know I think I don't know how

[01:55:03] really was considering that every other real deal actually happened I don't know it was all over to think about all the real deals that we've heard about that happened like how many times did we hear John Collins was going to get traded before he got traded

[01:55:18] not that often very every year every year every trade block or every trade then live his name was out there that's why when they finally traded them and they got like Rudy gay for we were like y'all did all

[01:55:32] that just a cut and Rudy gay right but I'm so excited you hold on to law like we all like the play poker and sometimes I like to play Texas hold them I get my two whole cards the flop comes I

[01:55:47] hit a big hand and I don't want to scare anybody off so I slow play it and then the turner comes and I bet a little bigger and it scares everybody off is like okay I can see what's going on here

[01:56:02] sometimes I think somebody's these GM's they they like to you know play Koy and try to figure out oh I'm not talking to you unless you give me this I'm not talking unless you're going to

[01:56:15] start the negotiations here as like all right cool um yes so we're going to just call Utah because Utah is then he and Joe has 50-11 picks and he's willing to move while it goes

[01:56:30] I think Danny Angel probably has he probably has pick rights for a team from a team but like 20-32 I will be the bet that he looked at his stock we had a list of what they had I bet he has somebody's

[01:56:45] 232 pick right now. Oh I NBA TV got the Brentbury slam dot contest on oh when he wore the warm-up and then Grant I think he would have grant maybe would have grant hills like he was some

[01:56:59] Nike's no but yeah I think that Indiana is a team that's going in places you know um Siocom isn't 30 yet like he's coming close up on it but he's not 30 yet so they still should get a

[01:57:16] good 3 to 4 top tier years out of him he's average in 22 right now has nowhere to go up my back pick and roll is going to be deadly with him in Haliburton

[01:57:28] if they run it more legs and you run it yeah if you're gonna run pick and roll with Siocom in Haliburton when you do it with Turner. Best sure he's standing on a block. Oh you finally trade him out

[01:57:43] I mean this looks like is that Kevin Ali on Indiana staff probably I believe so I can't try to find this King's game. I'm watching it right now Let's go down 11 wow see that's what I was talking about I was like oh no no no no no no

[01:58:08] Uh Kings are down 9 12 22 13 Indiana is definitely falling apart so coming to the press and the trap are is 3 dudes in the back court you gotta get them all over half court yeah and go score go score

[01:58:27] Oh actually I am watching it how about that don't you got to get points don't shoot the three mouse Turner that was a bad shot bro but yeah I don't like today's NBA so I was watching

[01:58:41] I was watching the T-wolves in Memphis because you know they caught my attention because it was actually a good game and then I flipped around it started you know not paying attention to about a time I look back up

[01:58:53] Minnesota 1 by 15 or so but uh that's just the NBA it's just who's gonna get hot that's there's no strategy It's just who's gonna get hot you know but I am looking forward to Boston hostate Denver tomorrow night you know that's my NBA or both of our

[01:59:12] NBA finals previews I think we just picked a different team yeah I picked uh Denver and you picked I didn't Denver to repeat and you picked Boston you know uh it's great stuff to repeat and I think even

[01:59:25] getting back I just felt like that because I didn't feel as if the many teams are worse really made like the packed moves to be uh what Denver already gives you sorry so the down seven went

[01:59:41] in the 15 the full court press is literally killing Indiana no haloper oh my goodness is there bar to the game so wait hold on hold on I'm looking at the call did it call a file

[02:00:00] no what they call so the pass in the ball to the corner which is a bad move uh who that ball that's the bad angle give me another angle what I think they were viewing it um

[02:00:14] so when you were asking score was 122 111 yeah I saw that they went to a full court press to trap everything on a sideline and Indiana keeps passing to the sidelines so when they got it across to have court um Walker had the ball at the free throw line

[02:00:34] and could have taken a couple of dribbles but instead he kicked it out the mouse Turner who shot a three with who's hand is that mock that's your hand as out of ball I don't sense it on Sacramento he shot a three will like eight seconds left

[02:00:55] on the shot clock when they were trying to run a clock is it's the eight it was very weird like your 70 tall a year shoot in the three from the corner when the guy who just passed you

[02:01:06] the ball was standing wide open at the free throw line just get it back to him at the free throw line he takes one dribble you blow that yeah you can even take two dribbles and dunk a

[02:01:16] one dribble and float it or just take just stay in there and burn off a few more seconds that's why I miss my tumble don't go with them you know but yeah that's the NBA today and this is sports

[02:01:28] reports as a order you know yeah that's the logical I am to five tell your granny high you know I said but yeah we'll be back on Tuesday obviously we'll have some football games to recap

[02:01:45] yeah we'll talk about how all the top seeds one and he's gonna be like fighting I can't believe all that bullshit you said about Houston oh don't go anywhere yet we got 1-22-1-17

[02:01:58] oh Lord that can't be slashed oh Lord buddy hill going through the free throw line I have in PTSD this is like duke against Maryland all over again it's gonna be tough man
